I've never understood why some Black people think that white people can just wash their hair quickly run a brush through it, and it will be perfectly styled. Have people not seen the rows and rows of hair products that are marketed to them? I'm old enough to remember when products for Black people only had one little corner of one shelf in the hair care aisle. All those other products were catered to white people. They have all kinds of sprays, serums, gels, conditioners, etc. that they use to get their desired styles. Not to mention all of the blow drying. I had white roommates in college and believe me, they don't just roll out of bed perfectly coiffed. That's why I hate it when Black people claim that our natural hair is so hard to manage. It's not hard at all once you learn how to maintain your own hair instead of trying to beat it into submission and force it to be something it's not naturally meant to be.
This! For years I was under the impression that only white people could style/ blow dry their hair in a matter of minutes and roll out the house, whilst I had to suffer blow drying and flat ironing my hair for hours. But after thirty damn years I’ve realised my close friend who is white also takes a while to heat style her hair. Also with the natural hair movement I had listened to women telling me not to wash more than three times a month/ once a month/once a week. And on this natural journey just ended up making me hate my natural hair. Flirted with the every other day washing here and there, loved the results but had so many naturals telling me it was bad for my hair so I stopped. But just constantly ended up with matted hair at the roots and no energy to spend a whole day on washing it. Genuinely thought there was something wrong with me. I even got to the point recently where I relaxed my beautiful curls after 7 years of being natural! Immediately regretting it just because I was tired of unmanageable hair. But I’m gunna push myself to go back to 3 times a week washing. Might even try the thinning see if It helps because I have a LOT of hair and it’s thin too. Any naturals had any experience thinning their hair? Sorry for the rant, needed to get it off my chest, and so happy there are fellow naturals that agree with what this lady is talking about.
Great video because it gives perspective. Black women think that we are supposed to be able to just wake up, get out the bed and leave the house without combing our hair. No race of women does that - EVERYONE combs their hair every day. The more glamorous the woman, the more she does. There are some women of other races who shampoo, condition, blow dry and flat iron their hair EVERYDAY. I have seen it with my own eyes. They spend about 1.5 hours each morning on their hair. It is horrific, for their fried hair, but my point is that you need to deal with your hair every day. You may need to arrange it in a cute way, you may need to moisturize it, you may need to wash it, you may need to retwist it, but you can't just wake up and go. My hair hates to be "left alone". Leaving my hair alone causes it to dry out and get tangled and matted. It loves to be washed and given attention. My hair is an attention whore. LOL.
We bathe and brush our teeth at least once a day. Our hair and scalp need attention too. The day u see your hair and scalp as not needing any maintenance that's when all your problems begin. Take care of your whole body people.
Honestly, I see people complaining about our hair and it doesn't add up. How do hell can you keep braids in your hair for 1 month , heck 3 months and not turn into a greaseball but you're claiming people who have to wash their hair daily, brush it morning, noon and night and douse it in texturisinh sprays and whatnot have it easier? The grass always looks greener from the other side I guess
After fighting your advice 🤦🏿 for months, I started daily washing two weeks ago today . I'm hooked. My hair had become stagnant and now it's growing. I follow every wash with greasing my scalp. THANK YOU
I wash my hair every two to three days as well. My sister tried to imply that my hair was damaged because of my frequent washing as I was going natural. I began transitioning 6 years ago. My hair is course and healthier than ever since ditching the creamy crack. My mom saw my hair thriving and increased the frequency in which she washes her hair.
It's not the washing but the water. If your scalp is itchy, then wash it. But it's keeping your hair wet/moisturized that's the key. Our hair needs water or a steam treatment. If you spray/mist your hair it will thrive and grow.
I have very little shedding now since I started washing my hair every 2 days and detangling and conditioning every 2 days. I am washing my hair every 2 days, and using rice cream and oat cream based products weekly. I was told by a white stylist to wash frequently and spritz hair with hydration spray and all moisturizer to half of the hair strands and not the roots while hair is wet.
I wash my hair every couple of days as well and my hair is THRIVING ✨ Having moisturized hair is the true key to retaining growth and length. As for the question with the razor lol no! I’d never do that to my hair. Thanks for another great video 😁💕
Yes after watching Caucasian RUclipsrs spend an hour a day on styling their hair, I was like wow it’s definitely not an automatic wash and go situation
I am a mix of European, Iroquois Indian, and Middle eastern. Because I have red hair and green eyes most people assume I am 100% European. I have 3a hair. I wash my hair every 10 days or so, and in between washes I use water, jojoba oil, coconut oil, Castor oil, and lavender. I add the water and oils to my hair and scalp every 2 days, massage them in really well, and brush my hair daily or sometimes every 2 days. I wash my hair with 3 raw eggs, and condition it with coconut water. I do a fermented rice water treatment every few months. My hair is natural, not dyed, chemicals never touch my hair, and I don't own a blow dryer, curling iron or straightener, but every few years I do straighten my hair. I only use cotton hair tyes I make myself, and sleep in a satin night cap. Because of excellent care, my hair grows 9 inches a year. It is thick, red, curly, and I will never thin it out. That is crazy!
I know you are right about washing your hair frequently this lady I know told me which she is black and was a hair dresser years ago and have 4 daughters she told me that if your scalp is itchy it needs to be washed the cleaner the scalp is the more your hair will grow rapidly she told me all of her daughter's hair grew to waist length now that they all grown they stop the practice that she taught them about their hair but her hair is still waist length even though she wears a wig she told me it's a lot of work for her she's lot older now 🙂💯
Love this video! I grew up in a black community around a white environment. All my friends were white and really there's no real big difference between how we should care for our and white people's hair. Especially when it comes to the hair washes. I know we don't suffer with high sebum production that will lead to oily hair, but the frequency we are so heavy handed with products and oils/butters, we should simply wash our hair more often. Of course I'm not talking about the hair texture or how we should comb our hair in a wet or dry stage. But most of the time we all do have the same hair problems just from a different perspective. I always wondered how white people could retain so much length in 6 months with regular cuts, everyday hair washes and hair dyes. Now that I wash my hair once a week and have even I moved to washing my hair every 3 - 4 days, I'm seeing such a big difference. I'm retaining more length than ever and my sec bc was in 2015. 😊❤️
Since I started my hair journey in 2018, I wash it very frequently and now my scalp is used to it. And it definitely promotes faster hair growth. Two weeks ago, I talked with my white colleague about hair. She is one of the few white people whom I've talked openly about our hair and their hair. It was very refreshing 😉 Loved the video Miss! 💖❤
You are so right and people need to take you at your words.I had a hair style the beautician gave me. I hated that style. I washed my hair everyday because I hated that style and my hair grew like crazy. I did realize that it was because I washing it like that. Now I have went back to at least 3 or 4 day between washes. Thank you
I think most naturals now wash their hair more frequently then when they were relaxed. I would also like to mention whtye ppl, and nonblack ppl in general, dont know how to do their hair, or any hair, like we think. Any little change is too much for them. They don't have proper techniques, which is why they thin it out. Some of them started using stuff like shea moisture, and it worked for them, because their own products isn't formulated for their hair, whereas the recent surge of black hair care products actually tries to help our hair. And usually, what black ppl create, not only benefits our ppl, but the world in general. Also, the shower cap in the shower trick, doesn't dry out my hair. I spray water on my hair, but on a shower cap, and shower. It creates a greenhouse effect, that my hair loves. Going natural made me fall in love with my hair, while simultaneously dealing with nonblack ppl's hair, made me realize other races of hair is not all that.
This same thing can be said for Asians as well…I recently watched a documentary explaining how they relax their hair using chemicals or natural hair straighteners to get that silky straight look we all tend to see them with
I was talking to my husband yesterday about hair on White people's heads. I thought that they could just wash and go and not use any products. I found out when I went to go visit a friend of mine and she had a ton of products out on the counter to do her hair and I asked her why do you use all that and she said my hair is coarse and it needs it. Looking at her hair I thought it was just straight and manageable but she had to do a work to get it to be manageable! Great video!
@@quartzzhuit A lot of them don't though. Trust me. I live in a majority white area and I see neglected hair all the time. We really need to stop romanticizing white people.
Thanks so much as this video demonstrates that hair texture does not equate to easy or challenging caring and styling regimens. Keep teaching. I have a LOT of density and it looks like I have in a helmet under my hijab😊
I have friends of all colors. As a teenager when I was staying in Arizona with my dad I remember my friend of another color (White) told me that the curling iron could make my hair fall out if I misuse it because her hair started falling out from the curling iron. I think I was about 16 years old at the time. I am 50 now. When I was in my Byerly 26 was my friend during my internship let me know that ponytails cause your hair to start to break off when worn too tight or too often. Basically we can learn from all types of people, if their regimen is working for them that is good. What mrs. Mississippi showed me works for me as well as the way my mom took care of my hair when I was younger which is similar to mrs. Mississippi regiment my mother focused on the scalp
I know I have mentioned this before but I have been following Mrs. Mississippi regiment since 2018. My hair has been driving. Times I am unable to wash my hair more than once in a week. I make sure I I take some warm water and massage my scalp so I can lift up some of the sebum. Mrs Mississippi your hair looks nice in that high up ponytail.
This is right on time. I just recently started washing my hair frequently and water washing my hair at least everyday. I have a twa so it’s a lot easier to do this but my hair has been loving it. Sn: I stop using leave it conditioners also & started incorporating Ayurvedic oils and “white people” shampoo (w/ the dreaded sulfates 😱) and conditioner nowadays my comb just glides through my hair when it’s wet. Detangling my hair in the past was always a pain & caused so much damage, which I why I big chopped.
@@cutenobi Kerastase shampoos are excellent sulfate shampoos! I highly recommend the Nutritive or Chronologiste shampoos. They are the only high end shampoos that I know of that have kept sulfates and I really hope they don't do away with them because sulfate free doesn't cleanse my hair well and leaves too much buildup.
I just explained this to a friend the other day. I wash my hair daily or every other day. I don’t use shampoo but about two-three times a month though.
Ok...so u r just wetting ur hair over again. This is how plants grow, u have to water them. That I understand, but we STILL do not wash/shampoo our hair everyday. This dries the hair. So, I understand if u co wash or wet the hair daily, but 4c hair has to keep a style. I can't wet my hair everyday. Lol
My cousin had this done by a white lady. It helped her be able to do her own hair. I know white ladies who put the same relaxer we used in their hair for the same reason. A lot of white people who have natural curly hair use relaxers. My friends my loved Dark and lovely. I never knew for the longest she even had curly hair.
I'm black and my husband is Japanese. I always cut his hair. When I first started, he gave me "thinning" scissors that I need to use for the area that is really thick. I was so scared of using it at first, but now it's second nature, lol. I would NEVER use it on my natural hair.
Dated a Japanese man with naturally thick black wavy/curly hair and he had to wash his hair every day and use gel to define his curls. Or else it'll be a non coarse afro.
God gave me the idea to start washing my hair more frequently. I started washing my hair in my twists every 2-3 days and then putting coffee and clove water before sealing with a butter/grease and a massage and my hair has grown .5 to 1.5 inches across my head and it’s only been two weeks. I’m still in disbelief honestly. I had to rebraid my hair to make sure it was growth and not loosening😂 Although I will say that I also eat very healthy and do mild exercise so that plays a roll. I think it’s very possible for black hair to grow fast when we not only care for the hair from outside but inside as well. Maybe I’ll update after a month to see how much growth I have.

Girl, even if they experience maintenance issues with their hair does not mean our hair is the same. Nothing wrong with it but our hair is way different.
She's probably religious, I was raised religious and they're taught "we're all the same". We know how much of a lie that is. Apparently she doesn't know history. If we had the same hair, the history with their disdain for our black hair would have never went down. They're still discriminating against our black kids at school. This woman needs to be schooled about black American history, she looks African, many of them don't think there's a difference between us and white people 😂😂😏.

With the frequent washing, don't you have a lot of single strand knots ? I never heard about a Caucasian having single strand knots in their hair, maybe that's the reason they like to wet their hair often. I think we experience it because of our shrinkage.
No, I don't have a lot of single strand knots because i pre-poo with the grease before washing. The frequent washing does help with preventing the single stranded knots.
I prepoo with my olive oil diy (olive oil, lavender oil and neem leaves) and honey 🍯 yes honey. This adds moisture to hair and scalp. I also use grease when styling to seal everything in and reduce frizz, knots and tangles.
I use the razor comb on my wigs I would never use it on my real hair though 😭. I definitely agree with frequently washing your hair. I wash mine once a week.
Just spritz it with a little water daily. U don't have to wash/shampoo it everyday. It just needs the moisture ,not the cleansing cause that will dry it out.
I really appreciate your videos. I'm gonna take your advice and start washing my hair more. My hair is no where as thick and healthy like yours. Do you think grease will work for thin/fine hair?
I have thin hair and I use grease, I use the blue Blue Magic, the trick for any hair type is to be very light handed with it, natural hair products have given us the bad habit to be heavy handed for some reason
💯 and I worked with 2 white ladies staging the same 1 said that her mother used to cut her and her sister's hair short all the time... they were tender headed and hair tangled easily ... she still wears hers short 😂😂😂 The other has so much hair and she keeps it thinned out although its hard to tell My long thick curly hair that I wash weekly 😂💯🥰
Yes I never knew how "dry" white ppls hair can be till I had to comb it one time. It can appear like a comb is just gonna go thru it but No, not that simple. I was tryin to just comb her hair and realized its a different texture feel than I thought and not as soft as I imagined it would be, it can be a bit rough like ours just looks different. I was going to need a brush or I was going to break a lot of it and she needed some moisture but I couldn't figure out what to use that wouldn't leave a too heavy build up at the same time so I know they catch it looking for products. Our products would actually be helpful if they chose a thinner water based one, they need it. They have alot of oily sebum too, so they need to shampoo a lot and so a good shampoo will always be important to them. Actually to us too, we need to get off of "conditioner love" which just hides the true condition of our hair under it and spend $$ on a good nutritive shampoo for our scalp and strands because a shampoo delivers more of the listed ingredients inside the hair strand than a conditioner but they don't tell you that, patents if we would read them do however!
@@lindywinthrop8260 Hi Lindy! For me that is any shampoo that is mostly natural and containing herbal oils/extracts. etc. and cleanses the scalp well. A few I use are Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Retention Shampoo w/Sea Kelp, fantastic product and I add essential oils and carrier oils of my choice to it. I also use Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner Rose HIps for the jojoba and rose hip oil, is very luxurious and conditions like Aussie. Lastly for moisture and protein balance, I rotate using Chi Keritan Shampoo and Conditioner and I use Lumen Keritan Recovery Shampoo (minty). Black soap is really good for cleansing the scalp and you can melt it down and add extracts, oils whatever into a liquid and bottle it and wash your hair. Hope this helps!
I work with a white boy (kid) and I was shockeddd at how “nappy” his hair is everyday. I have to use the same techniques and products on him as on my own hair it was eye opening. My brothers white girlfriend said hers is the same lol
Yes, I use a comb. The hair breaks when it's dry. The frequent washing helps keep the hair moisturized; therefore, you will experience less breakage. The key is to find the right shampoo for your strands.
Interesting! I just know that Caucasian here is awesome blow dried and when I saw one person Who air dry their hair, it was actually kinky! So you're right we're not all that different hair wise
Yup. White people take just as much time doing their hair, and they actually have to do their hair everyday vs us curlies who just do our hair once a week or once every few weeks.
Its when you make layers, and white people do it all the time that is why when i get my hair cut i try to go to white people because thats what they do all the time and moisturizer does help that hair grow. Just had a set back, im happy to say im on the right road now. Have you tired aloe in your hair? It helps with moisture.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 yes when i say layers i mean when they thinning, it give the appearance of layers to me, but i got you, just keep up the great work
I love frequent washing my only issue is the extra manipulation. If the comb glided through my hair easier I wouldn't mind washing more frequently. My strands are fine too so that makes it worse.
I use TGIN Miracle Leave-in, spritz with water, finger detangle in small one inch sections before combing on my fine, 4c, high porosity hair with ease.
@@cfoster6804 I used to wash every 7 days but it was drying my hair out, so now I wash every 10 to 14 days. I keep spraying water with TGIN leave in and the tangles melt away then sweet almond oil and twist up. I keep my 4c hair stretched with cool/warm tension method with blow dryer, if not it would be too kinky coily. I used Aveda rosemary mint shampoo every time I cleanse and follow up with a moisturizing shampoo.
Yes, agreed. They do not have COILS. CURLS perhaps... but a Caucasian with COILS would have to be someone like ART GARFUNKLE, or Artist BOB ROSS. Caucasians do not have COILY hair. Extremely rare.
@@Serenityblu23 Yes, I'm actually aware of that. Nonetheless, that is what coily hair would look like on a Caucasian. Perhaps not as *coarse* as 4C... but still coily.
Wow!! Some people will never truly listen! This is informative and not about color. My friend's daughter who is white wouldn't brush her hair properly because it hurt. It got so tangled up and the knots in it were so bad, it had to be chopped off. My daughter with very thick curly hair could not believe it because she thought her white friend could just go to sleep, wake up and go. Now my daughter wears her silk bonnet to bed happily and my friends daughter brushes, braids and wears a silk bonnet to bed. Hair is hair! Different textures, yes. But it all becomes a matted mess if not cared for, whether black or white! Thank you Mrs Mississippi for all the wonderful tips. The old way has always worked better.
What are your thoughts on wetting my hair in the shower with water only everyday when I take a shower? I used to do that years ago I did it for about 2 weeks or so and then my sister sent me why you keep washing your hair everyday I said I'm not washing it everyday I'm just wetting it everyday and she said my hair is going to break off so I stopped lol.
Hi, your hair will not break off due wetting your hair every day (with only water)if you allow it to fully dry that day which should not take long if you don't have other products on your strands. If you use conditioner and/or other creamy products you may experience breakage because the creamy products hold on to the water. Let me know if this is helpful.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 yes it was helpful. What I started doing recently and that's because I have other issues of getting headaches that won't go away when I use products even if I use just oil.... So I've been doing hot oil treatments only and been washing it out with a diluted clarifying shampoo mainly on the scalp. Then sometimes if remnants of the shampoo gets left in my hair I'll have to dilute rubbing alcohol sometimes I use it straight on my scalp leave it in for about a minute or two and then wash it out with water. It never used to be that way but for years I have issues when I use hair products now I don't know what else to do. I've already been to the doctor and even got a CAT scan for the headache and buy me doing process of elimination I figured I would get them each time I put hair products in my hair. So this is my life now LOL smh.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 I apologize it's so embarrassing when you think you've only said a little bit then you look back at your post and it'ss long as hell. 😬😐
I don't care about white people or their hair. I'm not interested in white people. I would prefer to hear more about you. I would rather hear about your hair but thanks for sharing. What about bantu knots? Would you do big jumbo twists all over with your natural hair instead of weave? Would you stretch your hair out and wear it down natural without straightening it - I think that would be pretty on you. Maybe you can do a heat free roller set with just water and grease. Or a maximum hydration method curly look. I don't want your hair to lay down smooth. I want your hair to be in its natural state. I don't see that enough out in the community. Maybe a large goddess braid or two in two with a middle part or a side part that goes into one or two long pigtails. I want to see what you do with all of that beautiful hair of yours.
I knew it. Scalp cleansing removes build up and refreshes our scalp and hair. We even bath twice a day so why leave our hair to struggle with moisture. 😌➿

My scalp sheds skin fast ,washing frequently is what is keeping me clean and itch free💚
My scalp does the same thing.
Same here. 😌
I wash my hair every two to three days as well. My sister tried to imply that my hair was damaged because of my frequent washing as I was going natural. I began transitioning 6 years ago.

Love this video! I grew up in a black community around a white environment. All my friends were white and really there's no real big difference between how we should care for our and white people's hair. Especially when it comes to the hair washes. I know we don't suffer with high sebum production that will lead to oily hair, but the frequency we are so heavy handed with products and oils/butters, we should simply wash our hair more often. Of course I'm not talking about the hair texture or how we should comb our hair in a wet or dry stage. But most of the time we all do have the same hair problems just from a different perspective. I always wondered how white people could retain so much length in 6 months with regular cuts, everyday hair washes and hair dyes. Now that I wash my hair once a week and have even I moved to washing my hair every 3 - 4 days, I'm seeing such a big difference. I'm retaining more length than ever and my sec bc was in 2015. 😊❤️
Oh wow, that’s great news! And yes I agree, it’s the frequent washing that contributes to their fast hair growth.
👏🏾👏🏾
Since I started my hair journey in 2018, I wash it very frequently and now my scalp is used to it. And it definitely promotes faster hair growth.
Two weeks ago, I talked with my white colleague about hair. She is one of the few white people whom I've talked openly about our hair and their hair. It was very refreshing 😉
Loved the video Miss! 💖❤
You are so right and people need to take you at your words.I had a hair style the beautician gave me. I hated that style. I washed my hair everyday because I hated that style and my hair grew like crazy. I did realize that it was because I washing it like that. Now I have went back to at least 3 or 4 day between washes.
Thank you
I agree, frequent washing works!
Yess, our hair needs water just like plants 🪴
I think most naturals now wash their hair more frequently then when they were relaxed. I would also like to mention whtye ppl, and nonblack ppl in general, dont know how to do their hair, or any hair, like we think. Any little change is too much for them. They don't have proper techniques, which is why they thin it out. Some of them started using stuff like shea moisture, and it worked for them, because their own products isn't formulated for their hair, whereas the recent surge of black hair care products actually tries to help our hair. And usually, what black ppl create, not only benefits our ppl, but the world in general. Also, the shower cap in the shower trick, doesn't dry out my hair. I spray water on my hair, but on a shower cap, and shower. It creates a greenhouse effect, that my hair loves. Going natural made me fall in love with my hair, while simultaneously dealing with nonblack ppl's hair, made me realize other races of hair is not all that.
Amen!
This same thing can be said for Asians as well…I recently watched a documentary explaining how they relax their hair using chemicals or natural hair straighteners to get that silky straight look we all tend to see them with
Some asians have VERY curly hair naturally!
I was talking to my husband yesterday about hair on White people's heads. I thought that they could just wash and go and not use any products. I found out when I went to go visit a friend of mine and she had a ton of products out on the counter to do her hair and I asked her why do you use all that and she said my hair is coarse and it needs it. Looking at her hair I thought it was just straight and manageable but she had to do a work to get it to be manageable! Great video!
It's very similar to Black peoples hair. They also have different textures in different sections of their head. Thanks for sharing!
They take care of their hair so should we. 😄
@@quartzzhuit A lot of them don't though. Trust me. I live in a majority white area and I see neglected hair all the time. We really need to stop romanticizing white people.
I’ve been thinking the same thing, hair is hair - my fine strands always thrive when I wash 2-3 times weekly.
Thanks so much as this video demonstrates that hair texture does not equate to easy or challenging caring and styling regimens. Keep teaching. I have a LOT of density and it looks like I have in a helmet under my hijab😊
I have friends of all colors. As a teenager when I was staying in Arizona with my dad I remember my friend of another color (White) told me that the curling iron could make my hair fall out if I misuse it because her hair started falling out from the curling iron. I think I was about 16 years old at the time. I am 50 now. When I was in my Byerly 26 was my friend during my internship let me know that ponytails cause your hair to start to break off when worn too tight or too often. Basically we can learn from all types of people, if their regimen is working for them that is good. What mrs. Mississippi showed me works for me as well as the way my mom took care of my hair when I was younger which is similar to mrs. Mississippi regiment my mother focused on the scalp
I agree! I have friends of all colors as well. We can learn from others.
I know I have mentioned this before but I have been following Mrs. Mississippi regiment since 2018. My hair has been driving. Times I am unable to wash my hair more than once in a week. I make sure I I take some warm water and massage my scalp so I can lift up some of the sebum. Mrs Mississippi your hair looks nice in that high up ponytail.
Awww, thanks! 💕 Thanks for your continuous support!
This is right on time. I just recently started washing my hair frequently and water washing my hair at least everyday. I have a twa so it’s a lot easier to do this but my hair has been loving it.
Sn: I stop using leave it conditioners also & started incorporating Ayurvedic oils and “white people” shampoo (w/ the dreaded sulfates 😱) and conditioner nowadays my comb just glides through my hair when it’s wet. Detangling my hair in the past was always a pain & caused so much damage, which I why I big chopped.
What kind of shampoo do you use? It’s hard finding a good shampoo with sulfates. The haircare industry is reducing sulfates.
@@cutenobi Kerastase shampoos are excellent sulfate shampoos! I highly recommend the Nutritive or Chronologiste shampoos. They are the only high end shampoos that I know of that have kept sulfates and I really hope they don't do away with them because sulfate free doesn't cleanse my hair well and leaves too much buildup.
I just explained this to a friend the other day. I wash my hair daily or every other day. I don’t use shampoo but about two-three times a month though.
How do u wash ur hair?
I use conditioner, because I’m not using heavy stylers like gel the water cleanses my hair.
Ok...so u r just wetting ur hair over again. This is how plants grow, u have to water them. That I understand, but we STILL do not wash/shampoo our hair everyday. This dries the hair. So, I understand if u co wash or wet the hair daily, but 4c hair has to keep a style. I can't wet my hair everyday. Lol
@@joycelynmatthews-bowens2359 I saw that YTer with ACUTUAL 4c hair and she not only washes often but NO PRODUCTS!
@@jlovesj3335 Who?
My cousin had this done by a white lady. It helped her be able to do her own hair. I know white ladies who put the same relaxer we used in their hair for the same reason. A lot of white people who have natural curly hair use relaxers. My friends my loved Dark and lovely. I never knew for the longest she even had curly hair.
I'm black and my husband is Japanese. I always cut his hair. When I first started, he gave me "thinning" scissors that I need to use for the area that is really thick. I was so scared of using it at first, but now it's second nature, lol. I would NEVER use it on my natural hair.
Oh wow! It’s always interesting to hear how other races take care of their hair. Thanks for sharing!
Dated a Japanese man with naturally thick black wavy/curly hair and he had to wash his hair every day and use gel to define his curls. Or else it'll be a non coarse afro.
God gave me the idea to start washing my hair more frequently. I started washing my hair in my twists every 2-3 days and then putting coffee and clove water before sealing with a butter/grease and a massage and my hair has grown .5 to 1.5 inches across my head and it’s only been two weeks. I’m still in disbelief honestly. I had to rebraid my hair to make sure it was growth and not loosening😂 Although I will say that I also eat very healthy and do mild exercise so that plays a roll. I think it’s very possible for black hair to grow fast when we not only care for the hair from outside but inside as well.
Maybe I’ll update after a month to see how much growth I have.
Any updates? It's only been 11 days, but I don't want you to get lazy n stop😂
Yeah, any updates?
I wash my hair every other day also... been doing that for years....

Girl, even if they experience maintenance issues with their hair does not mean our hair is the same. Nothing wrong with it but our hair is way different.
Girl, I think you missed the concept of the video.
She's probably religious, I was raised religious and they're taught "we're all the same". We know how much of a lie that is. Apparently she doesn't know history. If we had the same hair, the history with their disdain for our black hair would have never went down. They're still discriminating against our black kids at school. This woman needs to be schooled about black American history, she looks African, many of them don't think there's a difference between us and white people 😂😂😏.
only difference is texture
@@annt.7785 y’all wanna act so dam oppressed over dum crap. Nobody pitiés yall. Y’all just want sympathy
@@annt.7785 You made a whole lot of unfounded assumptions. Even drug religion into it for no reason. Girl, your whole comment is INVALID.
I have fought this, but I'm desperate so I just started the frequent washing. I got Mane and Tail zinc shampoo. Hope it increases my growth
This! For years I was under the impression that only white people could style/ blow dry their hair in a matter of minutes and roll out the house, whilst I had to suffer blow drying and flat ironing my hair for hours. But after thirty damn years I’ve realised my close friend who is white also takes a while to heat style her hair. Also with the natural hair movement I had listened to women telling me not to wash more than three times a month/ once a month/once a week. And on this natural journey just ended up making me hate my natural hair. Flirted with the every other day washing here and there, loved the results but had so many naturals telling me it was bad for my hair so I stopped. But just constantly ended up with matted hair at the roots and no energy to spend a whole day on washing it. Genuinely thought there was something wrong with me. I even got to the point recently where I relaxed my beautiful curls after 7 years of being natural! Immediately regretting it just because I was tired of unmanageable hair. But I’m gunna push myself to go back to 3 times a week washing. Might even try the thinning see if It helps because I have a LOT of hair and it’s thin too. Any naturals had any experience thinning their hair? Sorry for the rant, needed to get it off my chest, and so happy there are fellow naturals that agree with what this lady is talking about.
If you want to keep it, don't touch it
With the frequent washing, don't you have a lot of single strand knots ?
I never heard about a Caucasian having single strand knots in their hair, maybe that's the reason they like to wet their hair often.
I think we experience it because of our shrinkage.
No, I don't have a lot of single strand knots because i pre-poo with the grease before washing. The frequent washing does help with preventing the single stranded knots.
I prepoo with my olive oil diy (olive oil, lavender oil and neem leaves) and honey 🍯 yes honey. This adds moisture to hair and scalp. I also use grease when styling to seal everything in and reduce frizz, knots and tangles.
Honestly the grease is what does the trick for single strand knots. No one was talking about these knots back in the day when we all used grease.
I use the razor comb on my wigs I would never use it on my real hair though 😭. I definitely agree with frequently washing your hair. I wash mine once a week.
My hair is on the thinner side already, so I don’t need any help. Lol.
LOL!
I used to wash everyday. Now I wash every 4-5. The longer my hair gets, the bigger the pain. Gets so greasy.
Love your videos. I get weave thinned all the time, but never my hair.
Wow, I hadn’t ever seen it done until I saw that beautician do it.
The fact that that woman used a razor on her hair says her hair is different from ours big time!
Yes, I agree!
I wash my hair once a week, but i wish I could do it more. I work full time from 5am to 2pm so I don't know when I could do it again. 😞
I understand!
Just spritz it with a little water daily. U don't have to wash/shampoo it everyday. It just needs the moisture ,not the cleansing cause that will dry it out.
I really appreciate your videos. I'm gonna take your advice and start washing my hair more. My hair is no where as thick and healthy like yours. Do you think grease will work for thin/fine hair?
Yes, it will work. You will have to find a grease your hair likes...maybe one with a thin consistency.
I have thin hair and I use grease, I use the blue Blue Magic, the trick for any hair type is to be very light handed with it, natural hair products have given us the bad habit to be heavy handed for some reason
Hi immnew subscriber. Silly question but washing hair mean with shampoo not just rinsing it every couple days right? Thank you. Great channel!!
Hi! Thanks for your subscription! Yes, you are correct.
💯 and I worked with 2 white ladies staging the same
1 said that her mother used to cut her and her sister's hair short all the time... they were tender headed and hair tangled easily ... she still wears hers short 😂😂😂
The other has so much hair and she keeps it thinned out although its hard to tell
My long thick curly hair that I wash weekly 😂💯🥰
Producing too much oil is also a reason for the frequent washing.
I wash my hair every three to four days. It looks good all the time. 🤷🏽♀️
I wish I had some of that density you speak of...never had it never will 😫
Yes I never knew how "dry" white ppls hair can be till I had to comb it one time. It can appear like a comb is just gonna go thru it but No, not that simple. I was tryin to just comb her hair and realized its a different texture feel than I thought and not as soft as I imagined it would be, it can be a bit rough like ours just looks different. I was going to need a brush or I was going to break a lot of it and she needed some moisture but I couldn't figure out what to use that wouldn't leave a too heavy build up at the same time so I know they catch it looking for products. Our products would actually be helpful if they chose a thinner water based one, they need it. They have alot of oily sebum too, so they need to shampoo a lot and so a good shampoo will always be important to them. Actually to us too, we need to get off of "conditioner love" which just hides the true condition of our hair under it and spend $$ on a good nutritive shampoo for our scalp and strands because a shampoo delivers more of the listed ingredients inside the hair strand than a conditioner but they don't tell you that, patents if we would read them do however!
Amen! 100% agree!
@@mrs.mississippi5035 🖤
What is a good nutritive shampoo?
@@lindywinthrop8260 Hi Lindy! For me that is any shampoo that is mostly natural and containing herbal oils/extracts. etc. and cleanses the scalp well. A few I use are Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Retention Shampoo w/Sea Kelp, fantastic product and I add essential oils and carrier oils of my choice to it. I also use Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner Rose HIps for the jojoba and rose hip oil, is very luxurious and conditions like Aussie. Lastly for moisture and protein balance, I rotate using Chi Keritan Shampoo and Conditioner and I use Lumen Keritan Recovery Shampoo (minty). Black soap is really good for cleansing the scalp and you can melt it down and add extracts, oils whatever into a liquid and bottle it and wash your hair. Hope this helps!
I have heard of that from a white woman, BUT I don't have that issue of too much hair. So it its a No for me. Now my nieces on the other hand...lol!
I work with a white boy (kid) and I was shockeddd at how “nappy” his hair is everyday. I have to use the same techniques and products on him as on my own hair it was eye opening. My brothers white girlfriend said hers is the same lol
The shears are called thinning shears. Not a razor ❤ the razor is for making the hair not blunts.
Do you detangle with a comb every time you wash your hair (every 2 to 3 days)? I’m concerned about breakage with frequent detangling?
That's my problem. My scalp needs more frequent washes but my fine, tangle prone strands aren't having it.
Yes, I use a comb. The hair breaks when it's dry. The frequent washing helps keep the hair moisturized; therefore, you will experience less breakage. The key is to find the right shampoo for your strands.
Interesting! I just know that Caucasian here is awesome blow dried and when I saw one person Who air dry their hair, it was actually kinky! So you're right we're not all that different hair wise
Yup. White people take just as much time doing their hair, and they actually have to do their hair everyday vs us curlies who just do our hair once a week or once every few weeks.
Thank you. ❤❤❤
I went bald two years ago and washing my hair a lot or just let the water run through my head 😊
My sister had her hair thinned out and her strands became thicker.
Its when you make layers, and white people do it all the time that is why when i get my hair cut i try to go to white people because thats what they do all the time and moisturizer does help that hair grow. Just had a set back, im happy to say im on the right road now. Have you tired aloe in your hair? It helps with moisture.
Hi! I’m familiar with layering for a style, but she said thinning. I agree, moisture is key! 👌🏾
@@mrs.mississippi5035 yes when i say layers i mean when they thinning, it give the appearance of layers to me, but i got you, just keep up the great work
Aloe is not the savior for hair a lot of people think it is. Like coconut oil it dries some people's hair out terribly.
@@cfoster6804 i know its not but for me it works it thickened my hair so much
I love frequent washing my only issue is the extra manipulation. If the comb glided through my hair easier I wouldn't mind washing more frequently. My strands are fine too so that makes it worse.
My youngest daughter has thin strands. I realized the sulfate shampoos caused them to tangle a lot.
I use TGIN Miracle Leave-in, spritz with water, finger detangle in small one inch sections before combing on my fine, 4c, high porosity hair with ease.
@@southerngurlz5027 Thanks. I'll check that out. How often do you wash?
@@cfoster6804 I used to wash every 7 days but it was drying my hair out, so now I wash every 10 to 14 days. I keep spraying water with TGIN leave in and the tangles melt away then sweet almond oil and twist up. I keep my 4c hair stretched with cool/warm tension method with blow dryer, if not it would be too kinky coily. I used Aveda rosemary mint shampoo every time I cleanse and follow up with a moisturizing shampoo.
I’m still crying too, and I’m 70🥴
I used to
Now I don’t
From the thumbnail I thought the white woman would be in the video Lol
😂
White with coils? 🤣
Google Nicole Kidman's naturally curly hair
@@SAVANTES1 - & Keri Russell
Yes, agreed. They do not have COILS. CURLS perhaps... but a Caucasian with COILS would have to be someone like ART GARFUNKLE, or Artist BOB ROSS. Caucasians do not have COILY hair. Extremely rare.
Bob Ross's hair was due to chemicals. He hated it but his boss made him keep as they thought it would give him a more significant look.
@@Serenityblu23 Yes, I'm actually aware of that. Nonetheless, that is what coily hair would look like on a Caucasian. Perhaps not as *coarse* as 4C... but still coily.
Ok, so you clearly don't know what your talking about on this issue. White peoples hair is nothing similar to black peoples hair
Girl please! 🙄 Why do you say it’s?
Huh? So are their fingernails and toe nails different, too?
Wow!! Some people will never truly listen! This is informative and not about color. My friend's daughter who is white wouldn't brush her hair properly because it hurt. It got so tangled up and the knots in it were so bad, it had to be chopped off. My daughter with very thick curly hair could not believe it because she thought her white friend could just go to sleep, wake up and go. Now my daughter wears her silk bonnet to bed happily and my friends daughter brushes, braids and wears a silk bonnet to bed. Hair is hair! Different textures, yes. But it all becomes a matted mess if not cared for, whether black or white! Thank you Mrs Mississippi for all the wonderful tips. The old way has always worked better.
@@Ephesians--ih5fl I agree 100!%!💕
Do you blow dry your hair everytime you wash it?
Hi! No, I mostly allow it to air dry.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 Oh ok!
What are your thoughts on wetting my hair in the shower with water only everyday when I take a shower? I used to do that years ago I did it for about 2 weeks or so and then my sister sent me why you keep washing your hair everyday I said I'm not washing it everyday I'm just wetting it everyday and she said my hair is going to break off so I stopped lol.
I forgot to add, I did not use any grease or any other products after to "seal"
Hi, your hair will not break off due wetting your hair every day (with only water)if you allow it to fully dry that day which should not take long if you don't have other products on your strands. If you use conditioner and/or other creamy products you may experience breakage because the creamy products hold on to the water. Let me know if this is helpful.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 yes it was helpful. What I started doing recently and that's because I have other issues of getting headaches that won't go away when I use products even if I use just oil.... So I've been doing hot oil treatments only and been washing it out with a diluted clarifying shampoo mainly on the scalp. Then sometimes if remnants of the shampoo gets left in my hair I'll have to dilute rubbing alcohol sometimes I use it straight on my scalp leave it in for about a minute or two and then wash it out with water. It never used to be that way but for years I have issues when I use hair products now I don't know what else to do. I've already been to the doctor and even got a CAT scan for the headache and buy me doing process of elimination I figured I would get them each time I put hair products in my hair. So this is my life now LOL smh.
@@mrs.mississippi5035 I apologize it's so embarrassing when you think you've only said a little bit then you look back at your post and it'ss long as hell. 😬😐
@@TaShar16 😂😂😂 It’s okay, I do the same! I receive it as “passion”! 👌🏾
I don't care about white people or their hair. I'm not interested in white people. I would prefer to hear more about you. I would rather hear about your hair but thanks for sharing. What about bantu knots? Would you do big jumbo twists all over with your natural hair instead of weave? Would you stretch your hair out and wear it down natural without straightening it - I think that would be pretty on you. Maybe you can do a heat free roller set with just water and grease. Or a maximum hydration method curly look. I don't want your hair to lay down smooth. I want your hair to be in its natural state. I don't see that enough out in the community. Maybe a large goddess braid or two in two with a middle part or a side part that goes into one or two long pigtails. I want to see what you do with all of that beautiful hair of yours.
No no no
I knew it. Scalp cleansing removes build up and refreshes our scalp and hair. We even bath twice a day so why leave our hair to struggle with moisture. 😌➿
