I just did a bentonite clay mask with ACV today!!! I usually follow it with a non sulfate clarifying shampoo. Then condition and DC with heat for 30mins. My hair loves it !!😍
No no Erin its not that its her limit her hair is just in the middle of a phase in the growth cycle. Oluchi right now your hair is in a phase where it is growing a little slower. The reason why you have plateaued is because your hair is breaking off before it can grow out. I suggest you moisturize your hair and put it in a longterm protective hairstyle (NOT TOO TIGHT OR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE MORE BREAKAGE) and MOISTURIZE it while it is in that hairstyle. What you need to do right now is to just leave it alone and let it flourish, once you take it out of that long term protective hairstyle ( one month or more) I guarantee you will see growth. I suggest you watch greenbeauty’s videos on protective styling, she will present facts and tips for protective styling for growth.
He!lo Chinwe: Are there any bentonite clays that will work with my grey hair, and not turn it some odd color ? Thank you for all that you do for the natural hair community.! God bless.
Is Apple cider vinegar a clarifying shampoo? And should it be used as a prepoo or rinse? Or both? And how do you know the PH of your hair and the PH of the ingredient in a conditioner to suit the hair’s needs?
Nice tips. I really wish I knew this years ago as I wouldn't have had to go through alopecia which I shared on my channel. However I am making some progress. Good thing we now know how to take care of natural hair. Our mothers and grandmothers were non the wiser :)
Exactly. Also if you make a mask with banana, blueberries, avacado, aloevera, and a tiny bit of flaxseed oil...all bought from the grocery store. Blend very well...I usually be sure to blend...rest motor, blend until I've blended for 5mins....WORKS WONDERS ON HIGH OR LOW POROSITY HAIR. HIGH USE IT COLD, LOW PUT IN GLASS JAR-PUT GLASS JAR IN BOWL OF HOT WATER THEN APPLY. CURLS WILL BE SO HYDRATED. LEAVE IN 45MINS. I LEAVE IT IN SOMETIMES FOR DAYS MY HAIR BE SO GORGEOUS!
What do you think about the green house effect? Can you do a video on it? I dc once per week with a heating cap and my hair is moisturized. But I haven’t seen growth in a year. I measure and take pics of my hair. Since my hair isn’t growing, I decided to try the ghe method. I wear my hair out about 2x per week. I’ve even tried to wear protective styles for a couple of weeks. I have come to realize that I have difficult hair that grows extremely slow.
I appreciate the suggestion but my hair is extremely protein sensitive. I’m dealing with protein overload now because of fenugreek. I’ve been on many bandwagons and have also tried wild growth oil. My hair is giving me grief.
@@cutenobi the advice from my Trichologists is to daily apply leave in detangler and leave in conditioner and steam with a hot towel or heat cap for 20 minutes. Also only wear loose twists or two or three French braids. Shampoo and Deep condition weekly with heat. Massage you scalp also but do not put oil on the scalp.
@@stephanies3862 my hair won't like it but it's the only way my hair will lay down. Lol! I have not actually tried it over my entire head only the edges and sides. Lol!
@@mariahthomas1584 I always read the ingredients list now so I know what it will do to my hair the first 10 ingredients. Most styling products do not have conditioning agents or humectants and are of a thick consistency to mould the hair into shape, make it shiny or to give it hold. Something may seal in moisture and make the hair smooth but it also stops moisture from getting in with buildup. Even my leave in conditioner builds up with in a week because I have to use so much on my high porosity hair. Reading the ingredients and the thinnest or thickness of a product usually provides a formulation as to how your hair will react as long as you know your porosity, strand diameter, density and curl pattern.
Thanks for this sis. Am also guilty of over doing what the instruction of a product says hun!!!. Please do you advice i do on my wash days i wash once in a week but don't know if the routine i have adopted is really good for my hair type sha, because my is of a high porocity. So all i have been doing is use ginger and onion juice on my hair then leave it for two hours before i wash that off with my homemade shampoo which comprises of the black Ghana black soap, some apple cider vinegar, ginger juice and some olive oil, thereafter good in with my conditioner wash that out and then while is the hair still a bit damp i apply my shae butter mix which i learnt from you and finally go in with my cold press carrot oil before i detangle and do a two strands twist. I usually leave the twist like it is for a week but would always just pray in water, apply my shae butter mix and my carrot oil till the next wash day. I do my clarifying things by mixing a table spoon of cinnamon powder to some of my homemade shampoo once a month but i feel my hair is not really growing because this year August ending i will be three years since i have transitioned to carrying natural hair and my length is just 7cm fa!!! So please help me out sis because you have the result i mean going by your hair now. Love you 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️. Don't mind my long epistle oo thanks for your quick response ma.
Is you water hard or soft? What do you use for a protein treatment and to chelate. Try daily steaming your leave in conditioner with a hot towel for 20 minutes with only shea butter on the ends.
Hair vitamins, stress reduction, protein treatments and scalp massage. Steam your hair daily for 20 minutes with a hot towel or heat cap. If you use a professional steamer 10 minutes only.
@@Igbocurls You are welcome. I take medication so I'm in that struggle. The right care and some supplements is keeping enough hair that I can wear it out and the hair loss or thinning is disguised. I get compliments on my real hair but people don't know the struggle is real to keep it on my head! Lol!
My hair is normal to high porosity and hates shampoos even moisturizing ones. I use cowashes, Aztec once a month and a shampoo when my hair seems builtup
You do not need a rinse out conditioner. You only need a deep conditioner to retain moisture. Using a rinse out conditioner as a deep conditioner is perfectly fine. But if you use rinse out conditioner before deep conditioner you will clog the hair cuticle and the moisture won't penetrate the hair shaft.
@@JahleeyahKalonji usually the ones i get are certified but either way i prefer using gallons! i feel primitive sometimes and more connected to nature somehow when i do it this way
@@100XPercentX ok, that's good, I asked because I live in Toronto and it came on the news a few years back that some of the bottled water was just good ole tap water, lol....I remember seeing on YT places in the U.S. and Canada, where you could get real spring water. They just hooked up a tap... I get the huge jug of reverse osmosis delivered. I also bought a shower filter, saving for a really good whole house filter.

Suave makes a nice gentle clarifying shampoo. You can dilute it with water.
Just love how you talk with humility and gentleness 😍 just subscribed now...thanks for the tips!
Much love from South Africa 😊
Can you clarify your hair while your hair is in braids or just wait until you take them out
When she said calate i thought she said "kill it"😂😂😂
Same gurl.......same
My hair has reached mid-back length and plateaued. Any tips?
I wish this was my problem
Wow

@@QuEeN-uy6lg Thank you so much for the tips.
My city has extremely hard water. My shower head gets clogged with minerals all the time. I thought about washing my hair with bottled after.
get a shower filter, make sure that it works with hot water
Your skin is so wonderful.
How to take care of her.

I don’t think real Bentonite clay affects the colour of your natural hair. I use the Aztec Indian Bentonite Clay
@@Igbocurls Thank you, I will try it. Stay safe.
If leaving it in doesn't work...what's the point of LEAVE IN CONDITIONER?

ACV also works as a chelating agent.

Sounds like a hair smoothie. Lol! I’ve never tried blueberries in my hair.
I am from Brazil and I am really glad for finding your channel. Thank you for these videos. You are amazing :)
Me too
Thoroughly enjoyed ❤️
My hair 4c doesn't agree with light hair cream otherwise it will cause breakage instead it needs heavy base cream. I wonder why?
How thick or thin is your hair? Also what is your hair density? I have thick, coarse hair so the heavier the product the better.
Sooooo I don’t need to use a clarifying shampoo if I already use Bentonite Clay with ACV? 🧐
That’s right
Beautiful Nigerian sista! 😍🇳🇬
Luv this sis ❤
It’s like you read my mind with this video😂
Love this!❤️
Thank you so much darling

Try rice water method or wild growth oil. Make sure ur hair is healthy. Wish u luck on ur hair journey.
Yes rice water helps a lot I can see my hair improving. Try also aloe vera gel and oil❣

You’re rightttt girl i need to leave my deep conditioners at the proper time!!! Ahahaha during finals week i left it in for 48 hrs literally
Haha! I’m so guilty too
I see lots of people on TH-cam using gel to add moisture to their hair.
Much Love from tanzania,
How do you know you have hard water ?
Google has definitions, all very scientific. I think if you can feel a film after touching the water then its hard
Limescale builds up quickly in toilets, in your kettle. Water marks on shower screen, taps. Even a film on hot drinks. Shower filters can help.
Who is out here using gel as a moisturizer 😭 that’s a thing??
I cringe when I see edge control being use over the whole head to sleek back buns or pony tails. My hair would not like that at all
@@stephanies3862 my hair won't like it but it's the only way my hair will lay down. Lol! I have not actually tried it over my entire head only the edges and sides. Lol!
People think because the styling product say "moisturising" mean that it is a moisturiser or leave in conditioner. Wrong!
@@marleyhill34 indeed.. Even hrease says 'moisturising' and it is not😁

I can relate and MSM tablets helped me a lot.
My hair without leave-in conditioners is as hard as a sponge😆
I hardly use styling products now.
Love that this video is short
I haven't heard the term chelate in so long.
I don’t think these tips are for high porosity hair. A clarifying shampoo will kill your hair to the point of no return.
Mmmmmmmmmmm
No.
My hair is normal to high porosity and hates shampoos even moisturizing ones. I use cowashes, Aztec once a month and a shampoo when my hair seems builtup
This tips are for hairs as hers... 💓
I thought you said hot water at first... not hard water lol
Ahahah yaaaa Righttt thats funny
what are ways i can condition my hair without conditioner. :c
U need conditioners .can use batural ones like ginger juice and olive oil. Or chech her other videos
