I usually do another protective style, bc I get single strand knots whenever I let my hair out. But now, I'll just do loose twists for about a week, then right back into protective styles. I dont let my hair out all like that bc I just dont have the time. I'm an engineering student in college and my free time is usually my sleep time or eating time lol
@@ashleykirby3227 Girl I hear you too, I'm an engineering student as well and I have literally said that as soon as I have grown my hair long enough to tie in a bun, I am not letting my hair grow past that. Natural hair needs so much time and love and I ain't got all that time for longer hair😣
I love how you start your videos off with a bible verse! Makes your video 10 times more enjoyable to watch. Let me add your hair has flourished girl 👏🙏💁🏾♀️👏
I used to go bank into a protective style within 12 hours of taking one out because i was terrified to wear my natural hair in public. But now i let her breathe for 2 weeks - 1 month doing twist outs
Did it break or not? I'm planning to put my hair in another protective style because I gotta do it myself and there's no time to waste. However, if it's going to make me lose hair I can wait.
@@digitallocations1423 I’ve done back to back styles for years and as long as the style isn’t unhealthy like too tight or you’re over combing then no it shouldn’t break but everyone is different. My hair is waist length doing this.
@@glamforall Thank you. I put it back in a protective style and it wasn't too tight at all. No crazy shedding and breakage either. Do you ever miss your open hair? My style could last two more weeks, but I keep wanting to take it out to see my hair. 😅😅
Yes, they are surely dedicated to each other.. LOL! I love how you gave tips as you went through each stage, Love the use of ayuverdic treatments. Yes, I agree with you. I eat my food and put my food on my hair like a baby... I look forward to seeing your updated Ayurvedic method. My answer to the question: I rarely do long term style but I usually would do a low maintenance style like chunky twists
I always do low manipulation styles. I used to do long term manipulation styles, but I realized my scalp can’t take all the sebum , and sweat after at least 2 weeks. So kudos to those who can go longer
My hair actually thrives by staying in a protective styles at all times. When I allow my hair to be free I get single strand knots and crazy split ends.
@@kapparhotau181 Also when I wear my hair out there’s no bonnet that stays on all night on my head. The only things that work for me is cotton scarfs and durags. I need something else because I be going to sleep with my hair not covered up. I know them knots and tangles be my fault to.
@@fascinatedbytruth4296 🤣 right. The slap cap works for me but only the small ones but they went back to the original size (med) which by morning is off. They do have the adjustable straps now. A bit expensive so I wait when they have bogo sales and end of the year holiday sale. They are black owned
My matting (also at the roots) be singing: “on roots the solid part I stand, all other areas are sinking sanddddd” 😭🎶👏🏽 And I be like “take me to the King” please somebody 😬💀⚰️
These days I avoid long term protective styles because I usually lose more hair than I gain. If I do a long term protective style afterwards I rest it with a low manipulation style
I don't do long term protective styles at all especially with extension because they are too heavy for my hair. It's just about what the hair wants though.
I let my hair breathe for about 2 days before I get another protective style. I hardly ever wear my hair out not because I don't like my hair but because I just love getting new hairstyles( I have an album in my gallery for hairstyles😂).
WOOOAH! I was like let me see what my sis is up to since I am washing my hair tomorrow using my ayurveda method. I have been slacking...then I got the notification. Look at God!
It’s true unfortunately. I have 4B/4C hair but it’s fine and tangling is the worse for me. Therefore, using a detangling brush works better than a wide tooth comb.
@@ayolagur2693 finger detangling works you just have to be patient lol. I use a combination of finger detangling first & then using my brush (which is the kareco tangle buster brush) and that gets the job done. But, my detangling takes anywhere from 2-5 hours 😭😭😭😭😭. It’s exhausting.
@@ayolagur2693 not to mention, I always detangle before shampoo. If I wait to do it after shampooing, I’ll come out the shower looking like Lil Wayne...
That HEB bag is EVERYTHING. I LOVE HEB❤❤ And to answer your amazing question I let my hair breath for a month or so before I do another protective style. I use this time to mentally document the current condition of my hair, track the growth, and try out new deep conditioning products. Highly porous hair requires A LOT of moisture so the research is definitely a necessity for me❤
and to answer the ending question: I do low maintenance styles for at least half the time I had my protective style in. so I’ve had these faux locs in for 5 weeks, so it’ll be at least 3 weeks before I think about doing a protective style again!
Your video offers a solution to many who struggle with removing long term protective styles with as little damage as possible to their natural hair. Definitely a helpful video.
I have thin box braids now for two months. Every 3 weeks i rebraided and shampoo deep conditioner every two weeks. I plan to now do protective style of twists like the one you are taking out in this video. I love how my hair is healthy in protective styles which leads to growth. In between washes of my protective styles I co-wash if i need more moisture.
I wish I had your energy and commitment!! I try and try and always fall off. My hair is so breakage prone, weak, dry and knot habitual. Think I’m shaving it all off finally and starting over again.
I have stopped protective styling with extensions for almost 7 months. I braid my hair and have a leave out with a wig. I have been concentrating on giving my hair consistent moisture and washing my hair and scalp weekly. I plan to put on some braids in 3 weeks and thus time am only keeping it in for 3/4 weeks, may wash it once, after that I will continue low manipulation styles and weekly washes for a maybe 2 months before I get extensions again. I used to protective style for 5 mths at a time and I had so much breakage.
Looks like your hair has grown a lot. I’ve been watching you for years and your hair seems thicker and longer. I need to get back to my routine because I’ve been off track all year and it’s showing with thinner, dry hair and little length retention 🤦♀️.
After long term protective styling (about 3 weeks because I have commitment issues😂) I usually do twists with no extensions for 3 days then rock a twist out for about 3 days then saturate with water/ wash. I wouldn't start another protective style for another 2 weeks!
I put in braids without additional hair and leave them in for 3 mths at a time. I wash my hair every 2 weeks and ONLY redo the edges every 2 or 3 weeks as needed. My hair also mainly tangles at the roots so I just take my time with it after the 3mths has passed. That's made me retain a lot of length but what works for me may not work for others. Now that i'm about mid back length I only braid the roots and loosely twist the rest. Now that it's in twists I'll redo all the twists omitting the roots once a mth. Then after 3 mths has passed again I'll take out EVERYTHING. After this protective style i'll normally leave my hair in big twists for about 2 weeks before putting back in the braids, or now loose twists with braided roots
Your hair is growen, long time since I have been here woow girl, I never thought your hair will be this long in two years without checking your channel ❤️😘I am your old subscriber
I did go back to back for 10 months. I was doing crochet styles because I lost most of my hair due to sepsis. My intent was to regrow my hair and increase density. Due to the ayerverdic treatments and me only leaving a style in for 3 weeks max, I achieved my goal of fuller thicker healthier hair. I did a moderate chop after that and continued the practices. My hair now is about 90% back to the way it was. For regular situations I leave the protective styles in for 2-3 weeks and then I won't revisit for a few months. I do low manipulation styles often.
Low manipulation! But I live in ireland so low manipulation means cornrows/flat twists or a wig lol. April is kinda warm in ireland but not enough so that I'd want to have my hair out all the time. But also April is exam month so... hair is staying in cornrows until further notice 😂😂
I love your channel! You had me laughing at “Your hair’s been locked up!”. This winter I too had my hair in a long term protective style - jumbish twist - after, I did my usual twists/Bantu knots. After about two weeks a stretched it with heat and did the twists/bantu knots. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
My natural hair mentor (my good friend suggested I start prepooing). @nappyfu is the reason why I decided to use coconut oil as my prepoo. My hair thanks u! 🤗
I have had the same cycle of doing a long term protective style for 5-6 weeks at a time, then putting it in medium/small twists for 2-3 weeks then back into another long term style (usually braids) for another 5-6 weeks. It’s rare that I wear it out because of single strand knots/ I don’t like for my ends to be exposed to friction. Even when it’s in twists, it’s usually up or in a low bun. I don’t like to do buns because I hate the feeling of having my hair being pulled tightly. So I’m always amazed/ love wash day because I finally get to play in & feel my hair all day lol
This girl is awesome I love everything about how she runs her utube program keep up the good work and please continue to keep us informed through the lord and his Word thank you nappyfu
Guys am I the only one who washes their hair leaning forward? I see most people lean back and allow all of the dirt from the hair and the cleansing products to run down their back. I can't stand that feeling when I shower after, my back feels gross, esp from the conditioner. Also I mostly wash my hair on its own, instead of when I shower. (I have a chronic pain condition, so I try not to combine too many things at once). My poor back, but that's just how I've done it since childhood. I only lean back when I'm at the hairdressers sink. Am I alone?
I shower after the entire hair washing routine is finished, including conditioning. Hair products make my body feel like a prune. I've got to wash them off.
It's so weird I thought that Whitney's black soap shampoo wasn't a clarifying shampoo since it doesn't have sulfates, but I'll definitely include it when I double shampoo then
Back in the day when I would take braided extensions out my hair after 3 months, African Royale braid spray would melt the knots & make detangling much easier. I liked the smell & consistency, too. I wonder if they still make it.🤔
For me, it depend the style; If it's a extension required style like braids, twist or individual faux locs i wear them for at least 6 weeks with no re-do, so the style after that will be 2 or 4 big cornrows for at least 2 weeks. If it's a hairstyle without extension like mini twist or braids, which i tend to keep 2 months i will just do after it a bun for few days (3 to 5). And finally if it's a zero manipulation style like crochet braids, as i normally keep it for 2 to 3 months, i will do 6 big braids that i will keep for 2 weeks.
My hair is not really on a schedule so I don't necessary protective style considering whether or not I should do another one. There are benefits though in going right into another p style. Last year I wore twists for about 3-4 months. I washed my hair in my twists once a month, moisturized, and twisted them over as I took them out. My hair grew and retained about 1 1/2 - 2 in. My hair is past bra strap length. It has never been this long and it's in good condition so I'm not opposed to back to back protective styling. I'm going to do it again for the summer 😁. Your hair looked so jucy after you rinsed by the way 😍
So I took a out protective style 2 weeks ago. Finally had the energy to wash it. Prepoo with an oil mix then aloe. Washed , and conditioned then protein treatment, then deep conditioning treatment, leave in and butter cream and its in ugly big twist dry
I wear twist with added hair. I usually take them out a week before and wear a twist out, then get the twist back in. I get them redone every 6 weeks and wash my hair 1x a week with shampoo and do a deep conditioner, I get a little build up near the roots along my edges only.
Glad to see you back sis 💕 you have taught me so many things 😎 I let my hair breathe between styles. I don't like my hair to look the same for to long 🤣
Guilty of doing back to back protective styles and not letting my hair rest😬 But after I take the knotless braids out in a month I will give it a rest so thank you😊☺️
Your hair has improved so very much. Are you still using 4C only. I tried Strands of faith. I like this line. Then went to Kinky Tresse. This line has worked better for me. I still have a lot left. I bought quite a bit. Trying to use it up and try the 4C only brand. I'm concern about spending so much on product and that has stopped me in my tracks from getting the line yet. I don't want to spend all that money to just get ok results. I want something to Penetrate and help More strides my severely dry hair. Make it more healthy. I have tried so many things and I'm still not where I want to be. My hair is dry, course, and tangles a lot. I have just about everything to help with hair. Like tools for hair. I deep condition my hair once a week. I don't use heat other that deep conditioning under hair dryer. I don't put hair color in my hair. I use Jojoba oil on my hair. I can't stand having greasy scalp. Coconut oil, don't do well with my hair. Aloe Vera plant make my scalp itch and hair dry. This is my second attempt at being natural. Have been natural for 3 years now. The time it was 3 years as well. It was a nightmare. Had to go back to perm. This time I said I won't let myself be defeated. I get knocked down, but I get back up. I'm trying...😊 P.S. I'm loving your hair...great job!
After a long protective, I normally do "granny" plaits (if I'm too lazy, twists) at least for 1-2 weeks then it's on to the next protective style. If I'm going out between those 2 weeks then I'll pop on a wig but without any strong adhesive
After my protective styles, i normally put my hair in a low manipulation style for a week or two. I mostly time i just comb it in on backward twist the ends and tuck them away for a week if I keep it in for two weeks I ensure that I moisterize my hair .
Whoo chile!! I haven't watched your videos for a couple of months(yes, I am ashamed) Then I come back here and Contour has gained INCHES honey!! You are doing it right
Great video as usual sis.... I usually use aloe juice every wash day, but I wear my hair in twists for 2-3 weeks at a time (I blend the aloe in a bullet until its frothy and then run it through a sieve for my juice). Then I apply the juice to my hair and scalp after cleansing along with my leave in and sealant oil. I usually dont have to remoisturize for 5 days to a week.
I usually do a couple of cornbraids do that I can deep condition every four days for about three to four weeks before going back into a another protective style.
After a month long or more protective style I will leave my hair out for about a week. The next week is a low manipulation hairstyle for about another week to two weeks. My single strand knots are the worst but, I also have female baldness on both sides of my family so I frequently worry about too much tension.
If I had a protective style like box braids (they were a fav) or twists, I let my hair breath. I was that person leaving my protective styles for a month or more, so I would just leave my hair out after that for a month (at least, sometimes longer) to let my hair (especially them edges) breath.
Wow the stretch on your hair is incredible! Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your routine. I need to focus on scalp cleanse. I love that you show your scalp some love. I’m also sharing my hair journey and scalp care is everything 💕
I find that the auveydic herbs work pretty well for my 4c hair, when I just use the herbs and deep conditioner my hair is good. If I shampoo, use auveydic herbs & condition my hair is really dry afterwards.
I have some knotless braids in now. I’ll wear them for a couple of months and then I let my hair breathe and ‘heal’ from the ordeal. Braids can be drying and installing them causes some breakage as they are being installed and removed. I won’t be getting another set of braids until September
Sublime hair!❤️ "Locked Up" 😫❤️. For me now It's: hair in mini braids (with extensions). My fenugrk+tea tree spritz is Ready for m'y scalp. Goal: 2 to 3 months style 🙌🏽
After a protective styling.... let my hair breathe a bit before back into another protective style.
I usually do another protective style, bc I get single strand knots whenever I let my hair out. But now, I'll just do loose twists for about a week, then right back into protective styles. I dont let my hair out all like that bc I just dont have the time. I'm an engineering student in college and my free time is usually my sleep time or eating time lol

For me, it depend the style; If it's a extension required style like braids, twist or individual faux locs i wear them for at least 6 weeks with no re-do, so the style after that will be 2 or 4 big cornrows for at least 2 weeks. If it's a hairstyle without extension like mini twist or braids, which i tend to keep 2 months i will just do after it a bun for few days (3 to 5). And finally if it's a zero manipulation style like crochet braids, as i normally keep it for 2 to 3 months, i will do 6 big braids that i will keep for 2 weeks.
My hair is not really on a schedule so I don't necessary protective style considering whether or not I should do another one. There are benefits though in going right into another p style. Last year I wore twists for about 3-4 months. I washed my hair in my twists once a month, moisturized, and twisted them over as I took them out. My hair grew and retained about 1 1/2 - 2 in. My hair is past bra strap length. It has never been this long and it's in good condition so I'm not opposed to back to back protective styling. I'm going to do it again for the summer 😁. Your hair looked so jucy after you rinsed by the way 😍
So I took a out protective style 2 weeks ago. Finally had the energy to wash it. Prepoo with an oil mix then aloe. Washed , and conditioned then protein treatment, then deep conditioning treatment, leave in and butter cream and its in ugly big twist dry
Nice to see you begin with a bit of the
Word. And great tips too.
I wear twist with added hair. I usually take them out a week before and wear a twist out, then get the twist back in. I get them redone every 6 weeks and wash my hair 1x a week with shampoo and do a deep conditioner, I get a little build up near the roots along my edges only.
Glad to see you back sis 💕 you have taught me so many things 😎 I let my hair breathe between styles. I don't like my hair to look the same for to long 🤣
Thank you hun!!
Guilty of doing back to back protective styles and not letting my hair rest😬 But after I take the knotless braids out in a month I will give it a rest so thank you😊☺️
Your hair really grew out lovr
Your hair has improved so very much. Are you still using 4C only. I tried Strands of faith. I like this line. Then went to Kinky Tresse. This line has worked better for me. I still have a lot left. I bought quite a bit. Trying to use it up and try the 4C only brand. I'm concern about spending so much on product and that has stopped me in my tracks from getting the line yet. I don't want to spend all that money to just get ok results. I want something to Penetrate and help More strides my severely dry hair. Make it more healthy. I have tried so many things and I'm still not where I want to be. My hair is dry, course, and tangles a lot. I have just about everything to help with hair. Like tools for hair. I deep condition my hair once a week. I don't use heat other that deep conditioning under hair dryer. I don't put hair color in my hair. I use Jojoba oil on my hair. I can't stand having greasy scalp. Coconut oil, don't do well with my hair. Aloe Vera plant make my scalp itch and hair dry. This is my second attempt at being natural. Have been natural for 3 years now. The time it was 3 years as well. It was a nightmare. Had to go back to perm. This time I said I won't let myself be defeated. I get knocked down, but I get back up. I'm trying...😊
P.S. I'm loving your hair...great job!
After a long protective, I normally do "granny" plaits (if I'm too lazy, twists) at least for 1-2 weeks then it's on to the next protective style. If I'm going out between those 2 weeks then I'll pop on a wig but without any strong adhesive
Baby!! I understand, this style going in for my summer vacation. Easy up and easy down 🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for sharing!
After my protective styles, i normally put my hair in a low manipulation style for a week or two. I mostly time i just comb it in on backward twist the ends and tuck them away for a week if I keep it in for two weeks I ensure that I moisterize my hair .
Something I do during my prepoo is watch a ton of your videos. It helps prepare me mentally cuz lord knows lol
Very informative and your so so funny. You most definitely keep me engage with your content.
I love your sense of humor 🤣
Whoo chile!! I haven't watched your videos for a couple of months(yes, I am ashamed) Then I come back here and Contour has gained INCHES honey!! You are doing it right
WHO'S THE MASTER???
nappy fu
It's always the 2-strand twists for me❣😍
Yes 2 strand twist one week and ponytail ,the next week, than wash
Great video as usual sis.... I usually use aloe juice every wash day, but I wear my hair in twists for 2-3 weeks at a time (I blend the aloe in a bullet until its frothy and then run it through a sieve for my juice). Then I apply the juice to my hair and scalp after cleansing along with my leave in and sealant oil. I usually dont have to remoisturize for 5 days to a week.
I usually do a couple of cornbraids do that I can deep condition every four days for about three to four weeks before going back into a another protective style.
After a month long or more protective style I will leave my hair out for about a week. The next week is a low manipulation hairstyle for about another week to two weeks. My single strand knots are the worst but, I also have female baldness on both sides of my family so I frequently worry about too much tension.
I love the food items externally and internally. How are chemicals more beneficial? I’m with you as we are waving, “Bye Felicia” to the “specialist”
😂😂😂😂
If I had a protective style like box braids (they were a fav) or twists, I let my hair breath. I was that person leaving my protective styles for a month or more, so I would just leave my hair out after that for a month (at least, sometimes longer) to let my hair (especially them edges) breath.
Omg I haven't seen your vids in ages and my my my your hair got so much longer!!😃
NappyFu blessing us with a video!!! Missed you so much!!!
I’ve missed you too hun!!!
Your hair type looks perfect for locking. Have you considered locking your hair? It naturally wants to tangle anyway.
Lol true the way it attracts knots. ☺️😂 but naw I’ve never considered it.
Wow the stretch on your hair is incredible! Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your routine. I need to focus on scalp cleanse. I love that you show your scalp some love. I’m also sharing my hair journey and scalp care is everything 💕
I find that the auveydic herbs work pretty well for my 4c hair, when I just use the herbs and deep conditioner my hair is good. If I shampoo, use auveydic herbs & condition my hair is really dry afterwards.
5:59 that transition wow , your hair is really nice Fu!! Definitely leave my hair in a low manipulation ( twists ) after long one than wash n go
That’s my business!! 😭😭😂🤣 Okayyyyyyy!!!!
I usually wear my hair in twist and wash my hair once a month. I also have most of my tangles at the roots.
It depends on my work schedule and the season. Winter I go right back into a protective style. Other seasons I just let my hair breathe
I love your videos, been watching you 5+ years now.
Thank you hun!!
Exactly wat I needed I’ve kept my twist out in for over two weeks
I have some knotless braids in now. I’ll wear them for a couple of months and then I let my hair breathe and ‘heal’ from the ordeal. Braids can be drying and installing them causes some breakage as they are being installed and removed. I won’t be getting another set of braids until September
Grace, I need an update with your weight loss, thanks!!!
Yes a good Word!! So glad to see Melanin hair care😍
I let my hair breathe... for example. I took one out at the beginning of March and I put one in last week Friday😉
Sublime hair!❤️
"Locked Up" 😫❤️.
For me now It's: hair in mini braids (with extensions). My fenugrk+tea tree spritz is Ready for m'y scalp. Goal: 2 to 3 months style 🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing!!
I usually do flat twists for about two weeks before another protective style. That's usually the way I let my hair rest.
