    As a scientist, I’m always impressed by your understanding of molecular structure and properties.
    I would also like to add that I have a suspicion that Innersense I create hold gel is too alkaline and is causing issues. If you look at the ingredient list, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE is the 5th ingredient! That is way too high up on the list. I know it can be present as a pH adjuster, but not as the 5th ingredient. That’s getting into relaxer territory.

    This is the first stylist I've watched who treats Black hair with care and doesn't seem to hate it. I do my own natural hair except for trims and the occasional silk press after years of dealing with stylists complaining about thickness, pulling, burning, etc..my hair, which, I believe, they hated in its natural state but loved it straightened. Thanks to your videos. I have added grease back into my regimen.

    So basically, the no oil no butter method is the new heat training. The goal is to damage the hair in order to get loose curls and to give a marketable name to hair damage.
    Scammers will always profit off of our lust for loose curls.

    I admit I fell for the wash & go and wetline craze, and my hair's crown suffered from it. However, I wasn't foolish enough to fall for the no-oils and no-butters trend. With my low porosity, mainly 4A hair, I need all the assistance I can get to help maintain hydration and moisture. So oils and butters are an absolute must for me, along with an effective yet hydrating shampoo. My hair is grazing hip length.

      Hi Chloe. It’s sounds like your hair may have some medium to high porosity like me because my hair love oils and butters too!! I had cut my hair, beginning 2023 but since, just braiding and using hair pomades and some oils and butters my hair grows about 1/4 in. per month! It’s been wildly growing. My hair is about 9-10 inches long with some trimming throughout the year and keeping it braided!! Have a Happy hair Journey!❤❤❤💯💯🥰🥰🥰

      Hi there!
      Thank you for sharing your hair journey! It sounds like your hair is thriving with the care you're giving it. I also have low porosity hair. My hair tends to resist absorbing moisture and products, repels water, and takes days to dry naturally.
      If anyone can dunk their head under water and come up with dry hair, it's pretty safe to say they have low porosity hair. For me, the combination of finding products that work, using heat to help products penetrate better, and sealing in moisture with oils and butters is what works best for my hair.
      I think with textured hair, hydration, moisture, and sealing in that moisture is a standard routine that can work for different textures, regardless of porosity.
      It's always a learning experience figuring out what works. Wishing you a continued happy hair journey!

    When they would talk about putting their hair under the shower for each section when styling, I was like they’re gonna get hygral fatigue like Kimberly Cherrel did and her curl pattern loosened as well so this makes sense.
    A lil mist to reset the hair, fine. But they’d put the section under the shower put styler then put it under the shower AGAIN for the second styler. Like make it make sense.

    Every cell has a phospholipid layer at the surface that is hydrophobic in order to keep the cell contents inside. This lipid layer is important for carrying receptors at the surface along with the passageways needed for the electron transport chain and moisture retention. Not the same as sebum. Whoever said that this is the same type of lipid needs to review. BADLY.

    Not the Ramen Noodle 🌊 😂. These products that they are pushing remind me of the Dominican shops putting relaxer in their conditioners. I’ve noticed that BGC also promotes coloring with developers which changes your texture and eats away at your cuticle. It doesn’t matter how well you take care of color, it damages the hair structures and changes the texture. How do you build a brand promoting embracing Afro curls, then back hand lead folx down a path of structural damage and texture change. I definitely noticed my hair going limp with their methods and recommended products. Also, I noticed an exacerbation of my seborrheic dermatitis with their methods.

      True but no one is going to be slathering oil on their hair before doing a wash n go. I think the best preventative measure is just not setting your hair up to receive hygral fatigue. You aren't at risk just doing everyday healthy hair practices. Plus those same oils are considered comedogenic and can lead to scalp issues for those with sensitive scalps

    I remember the ‘hair gets looser when it’s longer’ discussions back in the day. Personally, I saw it most consistently with type 3s. From my post transition big chop to primarily doing AD-inspired wash n gos (my hair was too dense for doing it the exact way he suggested, plus cowashing made my scalp itch after a few days, so I still did weekly shampoos and deep conditioning), I did notice an initial change in definition, but not shrinkage. It’s always been impeccable.
    Even with henna, I’ve always watched my shrinkage and pattern like a hawk after seeing so many videos and forum posts of people losing their curl pattern, which is likely people using way too much too soon from what I can see of their routines. Also not using herbs like Aloe, Amla and phytolipids, like coconut milk and fenugreek. Which I use in between treatments as a fail safe. (😂 I know you don’t care for henna but someone might find it helpful).
    I also never stretched my hair. Dabbled in it to see what all the hubbub was about, but I let it go once I realized how often I would need to do it and that was entirely too much heat and or time for me. Plus I just didn’t like disturbing my style like that.
    I also still deep condition when time allows (every 1-3 months, it really just depends)
    For reference, my tailbone length hair shrinks to or ever so slightly below my shoulders and I’m a type 4.
    Edit: and I still did tightly scheduled trims (every 4 months). Now I do 1-2 times a year.

      Last relaxer was January 2017. I was waist length by March 2020. Tailbone length by sometime in 2022. So about 5 years. Had I learned Narada’s detangling technique sooner, I’m positive I could’ve gotten there at least a year earlier if I started my journey that way. It made that much of a difference.
      The top two styles would be wash n go’s and medium two strand twists. The one and only true blue long-term protective style I wear are bubble braids (4-6 weeks), and that’s because I don’t take it down or redo anything, aside from occasional popped rubber band.
      Regardless of what I wear I never forgo washing and conditioning over a two weeks-my scalp can’t handle that. My preference is at least once a week or more, depending on if I sweat heavily or swim. I detangle and redo twists after every wash, that’s why I don’t do minis. Also never used extensions. Too much work for me and it adds a lot of time.
