I love that you found what works for you ! Less manipulation is the best for our fine natural hair! although I struggle sometimes due to creating content most times.
Yes, its definitely been quite the journey Queenteshna! I just took my hair bun out today (albeit a bit roughly) and lost a few hairs simply due to the manipulation alone! The struggle truly is REAL! 🤦🏽♀️
I wish I could wash my hair every other week but my scalp will ITCH! & its so interesting that you dont use conditioner
Oh nooo, in that case I would definitely not take the risk of going without washing your hair weekly. As for the conditioner, it didn’t serve a true purpose for me anymore; especially since I don’t let my hairs get super tangly anymore. How do you use conditioner in your regimen?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS i condition after i wash with shampoo, but i like to use hydrating conditioners and let them sit in my hair for about 5 minutes, 10 at the most and then i rinse! I use it for more hydrating purposes
@@sabrinajordintv823 ohhh makes sense! I love using deep conditioners as well. Usually I like to leave mine on for at least 15 minutes. 60 mins if I’m being lazy 🤣
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS i do too! I love deep conditioning and i agree😂
😄🙌🏾
These was some awesome tips especially about trying different products. I’m at that stage of figuring out what works for me. Thanks again for the tips.
You're very welcome Nirenza! I'm so happy to hear that you found these tips to be useful! What types of products are you currently using?
Hey girlfriend so glad you found what works for you! That's always a good place to be with our fine natural hair. By their way your hair looks so healthy and long!!!
Hey Kearsten! 🤗 I agree with you completely that we need to know exactly what works for our hair types. Thanks so much for your wonderful words as well! Im really excited with the how well my natural hair has been doing lately. How's your hair journey going? Are you installing a protective style this upcoming Fall season?
Wow that's great to hear, I also stopped using conditioner and yes also just using deep conditioners as and when needed.😊
I love that we are doing similar things with our hair! It tells me that I’m on the right track to waist length! 😍🙌🏾
Can you talk about how you store your hair products? I love the shelf situation you have going on in the back. Thanks for tips!
Hey Raven!! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely video request! I will definitely be sure to post a video about this in the future. 🤗💛
I can relate to this so much. My fine hair definitely likes to be left alone and does not enjoy being washed too often. O jave been natural for a while, but stopped taking care of my crown properly for a few years. I am beginning my length retention journey again this week.
Hey Sisi, I'm glad to hear that you found this video to be useful! It's so interesting how many of us were led to believe that our fine natural hair needs so much more than it actually needs to thrive. I'm also glad to hear that you're on a new length retention journey that is starting this week. You might find this video really helpful in terms of getting your new length retention journey off to the right start: th-cam.com/video/ZXhhfoCE4i0/w-d-xo.html
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS definitely checking it out. Thank you
You're very welcome! 💛
Great advice, I'm happy for you because finding what works for you is a journey. Hair is not one size fits all
Yes! Thank you so much!! You’re 10000% right!!
I have been retaining length by following these steps but I actually didn’t know about your video until now lol so that’s cool! I’m doing a wonderful job 🥰🤣
Sweet! You're so on point! Great job well done, Curlfriend!!! 😍🙌🏾💛
Love that you respond to every one 💛🧡💛. Hugs from Tanzania 🤗🤗😘😘
Awww thank you for your sweet comment! Hugs right back at ya from Toronto 🤗🤗😘😘💛
This was a great video and very informative. I have been retaining length more when I started washing my hair every two weeks instead of every week.
Ohhh that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear that your regimen is working out for you! 😍🙌🏾
What are you currently using on your hair?
I totally agree with you. Less is more. I find that with my fine hair. I just deep condition and wash every other week. Plus I also stopped finger detangling, I just use my detangling brush.
Hey Cutie Pieeeee! 🤗
It's crazy how we used to think we need to do so much yet the answer to so many hair troubles is in simply doing less! I'm happy to hear that you know what works for your fine hair now too. Deep conditioning and washing every other week seems to work really well for most naturals; especially if they don't have an issue. You mentioned that you stopped finger detangling altogether and now you use your detangling brush. Which brush do you currently use?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS the brush that comes in my perfect wash Day kit from joiful bee 🐝
@@cutiepie-dh4ff Ohhh sweeeeet!!! I saw she dropped a beautiful wash day kit! Thats so nice that it works well.. I might just have to get my replacement detangling brush from Joi when my Felicia Leatherwood brush gives up...😍
This video appeared in my timeline and it is truly a blessing that I clicked on it. I wash my hair every two weeks and that works well for me. I started applying Jamaican Black castor oil on my scalp for a few months now and observed increased shedding and just ditched it on my last wash day. I also felt that it was clogging my pores and causing more hair loss so was not serving the purpose for which I had started applying it to my scalp. I have also ditched the LCO method and returned to my previous LC method. I am subscribing right now.
Hey Curlfriend! 💛 Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! I'm really glad the algorithm decided to show this video to you since it seems like it came at just the right timing. It's interesting that JBCO caused you hair loss because it did the exact same thing for me too. I used to apply it to my scalp but then noticed irritation/hair loss so I stopped using it immediately. It sounds like we've got very similar hair practices though! Welcome to the Curlfriend CREW!!! 💛🤗
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I am happy to be a part of this crew with my fine hair.
@@miniminott48 Thats awesome! I have a great feeling that you’ll really enjoy this fine natural natural hair focused content sprinkled with beauty and lifestyle content as well! 😄🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I already checked out your videos and I love the variety.
@@miniminott48 awww thank you so much! I’m really glad to hear it!! 😄💛
Lavinia! Omg .. I can relate to so much you noted in this video. I stopped doing many of these things to my fine natural hair as well. For years I struggled to make either the loc/lco method work for me. Now I found what works and it’s neither! Lol. 😁.
Ayoolaaaaaa! Thank you so much for dropping by and watching today's Sunday video! I find it really interesting that you no longer use the loc/lco method as well; its funny that we both came to a similar realization that this doesn't work the best for everyone. What moisturization technique are you using now?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS loll….hey Lav!! 🤗. So I have switched to bi-weekly wash days now as well! Here is my typical wash day this past month …
1. Spritz my hair with water and add a bit of the melanin multi-use oil to help detangle
2. Shampoo - I just grab one of my Shea Moisture shampoos because I have a couple I want to use up
3. Deep Condition - Soultanicals! 😁. No extra heat because my high-porosity hair doesn’t really need it
4. Moisturize & twist - Melanin multi-oil & elongating cream. Let my hair air dry and try to keep my hair stretched in twists/braids until next wash day!
I felt that I was doing the most and I just needed to take a step back. My fine strands are too fragile and can’t handle too much manipulation. I no longer feel I need to have a separate leave-in either. Ever since getting a good trim last month my hair feels so much better as well. I do plan to trim more often too. So that’s what I’ve been doing lately girl 💕🙂
@@ayoolascott Giiiiirl, your regimen is SOLID, I absolutely love it! It's funny that you mentioned simply using up shampoos; I've been in a similar situation as well with my shampoo collection since for the most part, I think they all pretty much perform the same way. As for the Soultanicals deep conditioners, my GOODNESS THEY ARE GOOOOOOD!!!! 😍😍😍 I'm trying to hold back from not purchasing unnecessarily but it's soo hard with the new product drops that keep coming out! 😂
I like that you also mentioned using Melanin. I want to try out her products but I'm afraid since a few other fine naturals mentioned that its really heavy. Nevertheless, it sounds like Melanin is working super well for you! Its smart of you to be on top of your trims too. I can definitely see a difference in my fine strands when I don't skip trim day. You're definitely on the right track though!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS awww.. thanks girl!! I feel the same about shampoo and yes … Soultanicals is soooo good! 😁
Interesting..I personally don’t find Melanin to be too heavy or weigh my hair down. I find a little goes along way for my strands so I don’t use much at all on each section. I find the oil nice and light as well. If you ever give it a try one day let me know 😉. I find even though I have fine strands .. thicker butters moisturize my hair better. But I mindful not to use a lot of product. I found that very light products like a spritz, etc don’t do much for my hair and the moisture doesn’t even last a day! I do have high porosity though.
Oh, and the Felicia Leatherwood brush was a no for me.. even when I was being so gentle, I swear it was snapping my strands! 🤦🏽♀️
@@ayoolascott Oh wow!! Your review of Melanin gives me hope! Maybe I will try and review it one day, but only once I get through my stash 😂😂😂 unless Ms. Whitney wants to send it to me as PR. 😍😆
As for the Felicia Leatherwood brush, that's good that you noticed the issue before it got too bad. We have to be so vigilant with our haircare practices. One little mistake can seriously change so much!
Yes I did notice you stopped doing product reviews (insert sad face) But I understand that you have to do what's best for your hair. I stopped using oil too and my hair doesn't miss it! 😅 I'll be looking out for a few product reviews sprinkled here and there hopefully fingers crossed!
Yeaaaah, I started having some moisture overload/hygral fatigue so I slowed down and went back to basics, lol! Everything is going really well with my hair right now though so I might bring back a couple product reviews; especially since I have so much PR to get through! 😆 There's actually a product review coming up of the Mielle Organics Split End Therapy... I've been using it for awhile now so I'm really excited to share my thoughts with you and the rest of the curlfriend crew on that one... would you be interested in learning more about that product?
Def do what works for you!!!! Gotta use products for a good minute before you see how it works, absolutely agree
Hi Helena! Your comment is spot on! I’ve only really seen how products work after I’ve been using it for awhile. It’s nice to finally just sit back and listen to my hair.
Thank you. I need this video.
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! 💛🙌🏾
YASS! I have noticed less is more for my fine strands, too. I must have great scissors, wash my hair when hydrating is difficult with product, do wigs, braids and twists more because they cause less tension, only use deep conditioners (but I will deep condition with a regular conditioner if items are sold out), eat healthy plus exercise, only use a leave-in or cream after washing, use second day hair refresher or my own clove water/flaxseed gel mix for added moisture until next wash day. I still have to invest in a Revair. I'm still thinking of locing my hair because it loves to tangles up on itself often. In the meantime, I know my hair thrives when I do less. I do finger detangle and use a tangle teaser for additional detangling. I still steam but only when I feel up to doing it.
Ohhh wow! Your regimen sounds AMAZING!!! If you decide to get locs, will you be installing them this year? I only ask that, because the Revair continues to get more expensive, so you may want to get it sooner rather than later if you're not loc'ing this year; but if you are loc'ing this year than you definitely won't need the Revair at all which is amazing for saving money!!! 😍
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS surprisingly I have seen at least 1 person with long locs use the ReVair. I was SO happy to see that 🙂🙂🙂 I'm saving to get the locs installed maybe by the end of the year but we shall see. I am glad afterpay is an option for the RevAir🤗🤗🤗 I will be using your code
Hey Beautiful!! I missed this message but I hope you're well! Were you ever able to try out the Revair on your locs? How did it work out for you?
This is a really good video. 👍
Have a Great Week🌻
Hey Mary!! 🤗 Thank you so much for joining and watching today's video! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it! How was your Sunday? Did you end up going to church today? I need to get back on my regular Service routine
Want more fine natural hair advice? Here are my top 3 tips for growing long and strong fine natural hair: th-cam.com/video/DU5H35kwhlM/w-d-xo.html
Those are really good tips! I find that keeping my hair in braids or stretched just makes it easier for me manage them. I also experience less breakage. Do you replace the conditioner with something else? Or you just skip it completely? Btw your makeup is beautiful 😍
Hey Mitsukooooo, thank you so much for the love and for watching! 😘😘
You're so right about the braids/stretched styles. I really love the way your braids and stretched styles look on your natural hair too! So chic! 😍 In terms of the conditioner, I actually just skip it altogether and go straight to my deep conditioner. I still have some regular conditioner left so I'll be using it up now but I really haven't purchased any new regular conditioner in the last 2 years or so now...
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS great video. I came over to check out your channel after our recent comment exchange. I too had almost given up on rinse out conditioners as well until,,,, I realized something. Whenever i go to professional hair stylist, they usually wash my hair and primarily only use rinse outs. In fact my stylist would say that I only really needed to DC 1-2 times a month. So oftentimes when I’m short on time I only use the rinse out. For the last 2yrs it’s been just Camille rose Moroccan, Mielle pomegranate, and recently I added the doux. All excellent rinse outs. About a yr or so ago African Hair God repeated the same sentiments. My fine thin hair, like yours also doesn’t require heat every single DC application. We’ve totally complicated what should come “natural” to us, caring for our lovely natural tresses.
@@2simmondss Hey Sasha! Welcome to my channel and this little spot that we call Fine Natural Hair ROCKS! I totally agree with you that we've complicated the natural hair game and that it could be much easier than our usual DIY regimens. I've never tried the Camille Rose Moroccan rinse out, or the Doux, but I've tried the Mielle Pomegranate one and I've had great success. African Hair God is LEGIT when it comes to natural hair advice so I can definitely see why fine, thin natural hair does not all of the extra things that we do. Thanks so much for watching this video btw! I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)
I enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for watching!! 🤗🤗
That’s something to think about because this year I haven’t had time to wash my hair every week and my hair is the strongest and longest it’s ever been
Sis, riiiight!?!?! I swear I stumbled upon the benefits of reducing wash days as well. 2 weeks is definitely the sweet spot for my hair, unless my scalp has buildup or I used a lot of product, there's truly no reason for washing every single week. P.S. your hair really does look amazing! It's grown so much and your styles are stunning!!! 😍😍😍
I totally agree!!! I realized that fine hair is usually very fragile. At least, my hair is like that. Therefore, my hair don’t wanna be bothered. Especially constant washing because my hair is super soft when wet. So, it’s prone to breakage. 2 weeks is good for me too.
Yes! I'm glad you've found what works! 😄 I've been doing the 2 week wash thing a lot more lately, and my hair loves it! I'm never going back!! 😆
100 % agree. I love your makeup, it is so soft and natural.
Thank you so much for watching and for the love! 💛 Are you super into makeup as well?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS No I m not. I wear very lil makeup but most of the time no makeup. That is why I love your makeup, most of the women are wearing stage makeup and they look like clowns in the light. I think it is suppose to enhance what you have, not cover up, but for eachers own.
@@Brownmahfun thank you so much! I also agree that makeup is meant to enhance as opposed to completely covering up! On most days, I also enjoy a bareface look too with just some lipgloss and mascara - maybe some blush too lol
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Well you are a beauty.
@@Brownmahfun thank you so much Curlfriend! 🥰💛
Fine textured hair just like yours.Hair was shedding and breaking lots,went to Trichologist who advised,STOP adding oils to my scalp & this been a massive help.So much advise out here,so it easy to get confused as what to do..Less oils more water based moisturiser,fingers crossed and prayers🙂
Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for watching this video and for sharing your experience with your fine natural hair with me! It sounds like your Trichologist has given you advice that has been working out really well for you. Are you still enjoying your regimen as it relates to less oils and more water based moisturizers? I know for my strands, this seems to work quite well.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS 👋🏼hair journeys really take you on one😕.I'm sticking with no oils on scalp and using water based moisturisers as l paid £275 for consult and products.She advised me to steam my hair for 10mins each day & washing it weekly.l feel this is a bit much so I'm averaging approx 3 steams.Week 3 so it's still early days.I feel my hair is quietly responding,slightly less breakage.Just want the back of my hair to grow back as this is where the breakage took place.🤞🏽🤞🏽all round..
Hi Sandra! I'm so sorry I missed your reply! It's been awhile so did the new regimen work well for you? Are you still trying that out?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Hi curl friend🤷🏽♀️yes I'm still using the products,just reordered some more yesterday as l needed a top up..Steam my hair every 7-10 days,and I've been feather dusting the ends to improve condition,overall its more healthier and fuller than before..still short but better condition..prayers and consistency 🙏🏽🙏🏽hopefully length will follow
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!!!
Omg this makeup look is so gorgeous you are beautiful
Thank you so much! 😊
Great video. I had been going to derm doctor about my itch scalp. It is not helping. I watched your video. You mentioned washing your hair every other week. I am going try that. Plus I am going cut back on some of my products. Products are getting too expensive with less products.
Hey Wannella! Thanks so much for checking out this video! I'm glad you found it helpful! The derm doctor is a good first step for your itchy scalp. I also tried this before deciding to cut all additional products beyond the dermatologist-recommended shampoo and conditioner. Once I started reintroducing certain products back into my haircare regimen, it became clear that my JBCO was causing my problem. I hope this will work for you too! 💛
High porosity hair here. I now know what my hair needs don't sleep on a cap use a silk pillowcase on the pillow silk.
I always lose the cap in the night any way
Hey Tal! You hit it on the nail with always using a silk or even a satin pillowcase at night. I’ve noticed a change in my hair after sleeping with a silk bonnet on a silk/satin pillowcase. I also see a difference with tying down my hair at night. Much more length retention and less issues too😄 how do you usually wear your hair?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Right now was and go with light prduct. Usually daily twist out or braid out. I use light product on my hair for 3to four days then I can go a little heavier and two to three week wash cycle. I find that Asian products work best with my hair I didn't see that coming.
Their Shampoo and conditioner helps to protect my hair from the environment.
I don't worry about shrinkage I just work with it and until it evolve to the next stage.
I also fine that kids products works great for my fine hair.
I'm on the hunt for no sent formula
Kristine Ess has a no sent line that I want to try and I used Redken was I was a kid I want to revisit that that line.
Thanks for responding have a great day.
Hey Tal Ghow! Sorry I missed your message, your regimen sounds absolutely amazing!!! I never heard of using Asian haircare on afro textured hair either but I have heard that Asian hair is really textured so that makes sense! I'm glad you were able to look outside the box to find what works for you because that's really important 😄
Hair can be so depressing, idk how to care for my natural hair at all. It’s so fine and 4a-4b ish (if that’s even relevant) & gosh I hate it. I can’t do a lot of things because it just weighs it down/dries it out/pulls it out. It’s so freaking fragile
Awww, I’m sorry that you’re going through a rough time on your natural hair journey. What has been the most difficult part of it for you? For me, it was moisture, and these things really helped me out: th-cam.com/video/UnF0u-D_UK8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RsxkVke3hCiarGYG
I have fine strands also and recently stopped oiling my scalp and hair. The buildup would tangle the fine strands.
Yes! 100%!! Have you noticed a positive change in your hair and scalp since you stopped using oils?
Finally some solid advice! If I hear one more person say "drink water".😡😂 Like, sis I know!
Anyway, I'm fine haired and high porosity. I feel like this is one of the hardest combos to retain length. Super tangle prone and weaker. I think less washing absolutely helps and I have tried to push it back several times but my scalp keeps taking me back to weekly. I feel like every other week would be ideal for my hair though.
Lately, I've been using the original Keracare Professionals line. I've been focusing more on pH because higher pHs leave the cuticles raised and then you get tangles. Keracare is really focused on pH and keeping it low even with their shampoos. The creator does a ton of scientific research and lab tests on afro textured hair. The products work amazingly on my hair. I also keep it stretched with my Revair after every wash.
Hey C Foster! Thank you so much for watching this video! I'm totally with you that the advice for our natural hair is usually generic and overstated! lol!!!
In terms of your hair routine, I think its best to listen to what your scalp needs but also to use products that are gentle enough for your high porosity fine strands. What products are you currently using in addition to the Keracare Professionals line? Do they also have a good deep conditioner? I've noticed that deep conditioning my strands regularly really made the biggest difference when it came to the health and strength of my strands. As for the Revair, this. is. golden! I'm totally with you on the numerous benefits of the Revair 😍🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Just seeing this.
I use the 1st Lather clarifying one and the Dry and Itchy Scalp one the most. The only conditioner that they make that I like is the Dry Itchy Scalp one. It really feels like it lays my cuticles down.
Sounds great! I hope the products that you're using still work well for you! It's always nice when we can find out holygrail prodcuts! 💛
I now keep my hair blowdried and then do a braid out. Way less tangles on my fine strands.
Ohhh this is sooo smart, Donna! How often do you blow dry your hair?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Hiya. Once a week or twice a month...depends how much product build up I have. My hair has done a complete turn around in terms of softness, moisture retntion, the health of my ends and length retention. I also seal with a small amount of grease instead of oil. I re moisture and seal once or twice during a week.
@@danmeck5978 oh wow! This is so awesome - your regimen is solid!!👌🏾🙌🏾
I do the same. I use Revair because it's super gentle. I then do jumbo twists and pin them up. I wear my hair like this until next wash day. It's boring but my hair stays nice and supple this way.
Yes! Fine Natural Hair looooooooves BORING! 😂
Great video do you still have the document you listed for your routine?
Hey Sharieffa! Thanks for watching. 💛
Yes! I still have the document that I mentioned in this video. Are you thinking of documenting your natural hair journey as well?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS yea
1 year 9 months into my Journey i 100% agree! Great video 👍🏾
1 year and 9 months into your journey!? That’s amaaaaazing! Keep up the fantastic work and thank you so much fo watching! Did you big chop?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS lol i should’ve specified. 1 year 9 months into my second big chop. I have been natural 11 years. First 3 “heat trained”, 6 years locced (loved that)… grew to my tailbone and that growth let me know that it was possible to grow my hair long! 😊 i just discovered how fine my hair is and i thought my density was low, but it’s actually medium (i was losing so much, unnecessarily!) I didn’t realize how much i was cumulatively damaging my hair with all the things you mentioned in this video! My hair has been THRI👏🏾VING👏🏾 the last 2 months and i plan to keep it up!
11 years natural!? WOW!! That is amazing!! Congratulations on all of the various journeys you took with your natural hair! That's incredible! As for your fine natural hair thriving, that is soooo GREAT! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I LOVE to hear it!!! Too many times we, as fine naturals, are told that our hair cannot achieve certain lengths. You're LIVING PROOF that we definitely can!! I'm currently just above bra strap length, however I'm hoping that with my new regimen, I can achieve mid-back length by next summer. I think this is reasonable given the time frame and all of the protective styling that I intend to do... I'll definitely keep the Curlfriend Crew posted! 😍
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS thank you! As for your journey, you can and will do it! Even if the timeline is not exact it is VERY POSSIBLE 😊
Subscribed ✅
@@AllThatJazzOnYT awww thank you so much and welcome to our CurlFriend crew!!!! I’m glad you’re a part of the crew! 💛🙌🏾
Yes yes yes. Definitely on point! You have hair and a mindset just Like me! You are definitely my Sister. Excellent tips this is what I do just wish I could wear more hair styles but when I do I experienced a lot of tangles and hair loss. My hair is mid back length. I just want to cut it all off again because I feel like I can’t do anything with it. It’s like cotton candy. All I wear is 2 two strand twist on the sides of my head 😆 😩.
Erica, thank you so much for watching! I'm glad this video resonated with you on both a hair and a mindset level! 🙌🏾 The styling thing is definitely a challenge for fine natural hair because it really doesn't like to be touched too much. Have you tried different styles using flat twists? My hair seems to love a good flat twist on blown out strands.
I noticed last summer my hair grew like crazy when I was just using Amla oil and literally nothing else. I’d put the oil maybe once every 2 weeks(pretty much when I noticed my hair was dry) and I’d have it under my wig and I promise you my hair doubled in length. This was really bad but I washed my hair once in June and I think twice in July and it really grew a lot. This might not work for others but that’s what worked for me. My hair grows a lot when I lowkey abandon it and oil it only when it’s dry
Sweeeet, I've heard of the benefits of Amla oil for awhile now; particularly in Indian populations.
As for your natural hair experience, I completely believe you that your hair health increased exponentially with the use of wigs and the oil. I've also noticed much less breakage on my strands when I use oils to seal in the ends. The oil seems to create great slip which then prevents my fine strands from breaking off on themselves.
Less washings are also really helpful, but in my experience, they're only helpful if my scalp is free of irritation and buildup. It sounds like our regimens are really similar to each others in the sense of using low manipulation to grow longer, healthier strands! Thanks so much for sharing your regimen with me and for watching this video! I really appreciate it 💛🤗
Nothing to do with your video content, but this eye shadow you're wearing is gorgeous😍
Thank you so much 😀 I love playing around with eye shadows! 😍
Love your makeup
Thank you so much beautiful!❤️❤️❤️
I have fine hair. I agree with you 100%.
It’s amazing how similar Fine strands behave across different hair types. Would you say you also have tightly curly strands as well?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Yes. Definitely curly.
Hey Beautiful! Sorry for slow response as it seems that I missed your message! Your hair sounds GORGEOUS though!!!
Great information my fine strains are very similar to your hair
Hey Ronni J! Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback! Do you also have tighter curls?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS yes...what im struggling with is how to stop my fine tight curls from getting knotting up...or should I say tangling....maybe i need a protein treatment....oh i subscribe to your channel 😊
@@Rue100 I completely understand this problem! The tangling can be a real hindrance to the growth of fine natural strands. You should check your hydration levels before you do a protein treatment because protein will make your hair feel harder since it is a strengthening treatment. Check out this video for more details on how to moisturize your fine natural hair: th-cam.com/video/0hZrbJ7WmGw/w-d-xo.html
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS your right my hair is soo dry thanks
It's been awhile, but you're very welcome! 💛
As a fine hair girl I just do protective styles and wigs. That was less manipulation and breakage.
Saaaaame Curlfriend! It’s just easier that way! Is there a favourite type of wig that you like to wear most?
I really need to leave my hair alone in order for it to grow.
YES! This is so important. You'd be surprised how much faster and longer your hair will grow once you leave it alone.
First of all, YES TO THIS CHANNEL'S NAME.
Yaaass! Thanks for watching and supporting Ashley! There will be either a brand new Monday upload or livestream tomorrow! Hopefully you can join us 💛
Title had me singing Patti Labelle in my head
Lol!! OMG I looooove Patti Labelle!😍😍😍
Most of the things she stopped are what actually grew my hair
I get this completely! It's so interesting how everyone's hair journey is so different! Thanks for watching 💛
I'm subscribed, just shared video with my girlfriend
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing this video with your girlfriend! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! 💛
Check out Black Girl Curls. This advice is debatable.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! Which part of the advice is debatable? I’d love to hear more. 💛
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I really appreciate the question and you being open-minded enough to ask. Before I go into the debatable parts, I really like your last point about positivity.. Now, having said that-I have been natural for 11 years and I have fine hair, more silky in texture. I joined Black Girl Curls a couple months back, you may have seen some of their videos or the 30-day here detox challenge, etc. I have learned how to cleanse, condition, and style my hair in a way that promotes hydration and healthy hair. Most of what you mention in your list of things you no longer do, and things you now do, are very helpful; however, the following is of particular concern based on my own experience, as well as the thousands of members in the BGC group, which is ran by licensed cosmetologists I might add: Not using rinse-out conditioner- by not using a rinse out conditioner on a regular basis, one may be subjecting themselves to losing out on a critical hydration step. Also, deep conditioners definitely serve a purpose, but when used in place of a rinse-out conditioner, they may result in over-moisturization, and should be cautioned when used regularly and in place of a rinse-out conditioner; the LOC or LC methods, when used in order to achieve hydration, are also debatable. Scientifically speaking, neither creams nor oils serve the purpose of hydrating your hair in place of properly cleansing and conditioning. Washing every two weeks could prove problematic for some people, as cleansing plays a critical role in hydrating your hair. While these things may work for you, if I went two weeks without washing my hair, I would, without a doubt, suffer massive breakage from the dryness that ensues from the lack of introducing water to my hair for such a prolonged period of time. And finally, keeping your hair in its stretched state doesn't always promote health/ hydration/growth. I respect and appreciate that these things work for you, but I definitely caution against advising others on these practices. Because a lot of women are losing hair following some of the unsubstantiated advice given out here on TH-cam. With all due respect, thank you for the opportunity to discuss my concerns with you.
Hi Kat! Apologies for my tardy response as for some reason I did not receive the notification regarding your reply on my channel. Thank you so much for sharing the scientific approach to the general best practice of Black Girl Curls. I can appreciate that there is a lot of misinformation/unsubstantiated advice for people here on TH-cam about how to take care of their afro-textured hair. Here on Fine Natural Hair ROCKS, I've always stressed the importance of people learning their own hair and leaning in to their own best practices based on their own hair trials/tribulations because that is what's worked for me.
I've adopted this approach because educated afro-textured haircare specialists are hard to come by, and when they are available, they are very expensive. This means that people who want to take care of their hair are forced to take things into their own hands. That being said, my advice is never for others to adopt as their own regimen. It's simply what has worked for me. Nonetheless, I appreciate your comments because the information is solid and I'm always open to feedback whether its positive or constructive in nature. Thank you also, for mentioning the Black Girl Curls resource and their take on rinse-out conditioners. I will be sure to check this out further. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts with me. I really do appreciate it! 💛
I forgot to add that by doing less, I have a hairline again!!!!🤣🤣🤣🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂💥💥💥💖
OMGAAAASSH! Yaaaaay!!! I love to hear this sooo much! Full disclosure, my edges recently fell out again and I know it's definitely because I stopped applying my own fine natural hair tips as it relates to my edges! I loooove that you've found this information to be useful and that you've got a hairline again! This is so amazing 😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏾
She looks like Lela Rochon
Awww thank you so much!🥰
This is a phenomenal video girlie! All of your tips are spot on!!! I adhere to them all!!! 🙏🏾🤍
Hey Jaaaaaamieeee!!! 🤗 Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your lovely thoughts with me about this video! I'm happy to hear that my tips are spot on because your hair is STUNNING!!! How've you been? I need to pop over to your account to binge watch some new videos!!! 😍💃🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS heyyyyy!!! awww you are too sweet🥰☺️😘!!! I’ve been doing well! Starting my protective style journey…officially, so I’m excited to leave my hair alone, lol and to see some growth and health in the coming months! 🤍🙏🏾💪🏾
@@jmacknaturalista I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well! 😄🙌🏾 This is the perfect time to start your protective style journey with the new Fall/Winter seasons coming up shortly. P.S. I loved your last video where you gave the tip about turning shower time into a spa! Do you keep your peppermint bottle open at the bottom of your shower, or do you actually place some drops around the bottom of your shower?
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I actually put a few drops in the bottom of my shower like the back (where your back lays if you are taking a bath), it doesn’t rinse out easily right there and you get the effects of the peppermint better without rinsing out before the shower has even started lol. Eventually it rinses away of course but it’s great for my headaches/migraines and to open your sinuses honestly…I’ve done it with eucalyptus and lavender oil too! ☺️ oh and thank youuuu for watching! 🥰😘
@@jmacknaturalista oh niiiiiice!!! I’m definitely going to be borrowing your relaxation technique! I love the idea of turning my bathroom into a nice spa 😍. P.S you’re very welcome! It was a fantastic video!!😍🙌🏾
