As a goth guy with type 4 hair this video made me cry i feel seen i feel listened to and i want to love my afro texture hair. Im tired of conforming to straighter hairstyles that is the standard "Goth" look. I want to say thank you.
@@disisreyrey any advice on protective hair styles? I usually use a boar bristle brush at night. I use this hair protein oil and twist my hair up and secure it. I dont have a silk wrap so i use a beanie and lately i have less breakage and dry hair now.
Don’t forget you work out as well. Plus I’m pretty sure that you watch what you eat as you are in shape and seem health conscious. These two things combined contribute to optimal hair growth.
Hi Ms. ReyRey! It’s so great to see you and thank you for catching us up on your journey. I hope that it’s been insightful and rewarding for you. Your shared experiences have been useful for me! Thank you for everything, and continue to prosper as well as be beautiful inside and out ❤
Wow, my hair is EXACTLY like yours. Hair porosity and the curl patterns in the exact same places. I’ve been looking for someone to follow that had my hair for inspo! So glad I stumbled across your vid ❤
Finally found someone who has similar hair as mine. I know we all have different hair and we are to never compare but I have three different textures plus the part that is 3C which is my entire back of my head is lower porosity than the rest of my head. Most of my hair is high porosity which is so weird to me, but in the back it’s either lower or medium - I’m going to try these steps, especially with washing my scalp and letting the suds wash it as I rinse it out. Also, I used to think that hot oil treatments were only just for your hair and not your scalp so I’m going to utilize that step as well. Love everything about this video and truly appreciate you being vulnerable and enough to share it because I know how sensitive these natural hair Girlies are. they will crucify you for the way you do what works for your hair that is why for many years I was relaxed, but now since I’m transitioning, I’m going to really concentrate on loving my hair and researching as much as I can in order to continue this journey because this is my fourth time trying to go natural
I've recently started my natural hair journey and really appreciate these tips!👍🏼I'm trying to get my hair healthy again and repair my damaged curls.. I've also stopped using heat & started bond building treatments ☺️
I have high porosity hair but it really has had no influence on how I care for my hair. People say how important it is. But it really isn't something that makes a difference to me. I just use what works. My hair thrives. All this to say, don't let it get to you if you never feel 100% about it or can't quite figure it out.
I disagree. Hair porosity is important especially to people who are just getting started and have no experience with natural hair. And even as someone like myself who’s been doing it for all these years, it has saved me a lot of time. Having that guarantee that a product is going to work because it provides exactly what your hair needs instead of picking random ones and hoping for the best.. Wash days take time and effort and the last thing anybody would want is to take the time to wash, clean, detangle and use products that wouldn’t deliver what you’re expecting. I’ve had my fair share of failed wash n gos, that’s easily the most frustrating thing.
@@disisreyrey OK. Well I hope it helps everyone. It has just never been something that was a factor for me and has never made a difference in how I cared for my hair . But everyone is different.
What do I do if i can't afford to get my ends trimmed? I haven't seen any in the store. Using regular scissors was a mistake. People keep saying just trim them like it's no problem, but I don't have the money and probably by the time I can get them trimmed, a lot of my hair will probably need to be cut off.
Great video! Very informative thorough! Where do you purchase your hair bonnets and silk pillow cases? The quality looks better than the beauty supply store brands.
I beg yall wash ALL of your hair! Don’t just wash the scalp…your hair strands can absorb product and oils too and be dirty just as much as your scalp can. Letting the shampoo just run down your strands is like letting the soap just run down your legs and calling that clean…😑
Your shampoo should not dry your hair out that much to the point you don’t want to properly wash your hair. Follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner or hair masque to cancel that out. OR find a better shampoo that doesn’t dry your strands. Simple
Never said to not clean the actual hair, my point was that the main focus should be your scalp when shampooing. I’m talking from experience cause whenever I would apply shampoo directly onto my actual hair, I’d end up with strand knots and have a harder time detangling it causing breakage. At the end of the day, you do what works FOR YOU. Again, I’m sharing what’s been working FOR ME. You dont agree then simply don’t do it.
Not all the time, the only times I use oil to seal is if it’s lightweight otherwise I wait til wash day when I do my hot oil treatment cause it’s usually heavier/thicker like castor oil, just for a few hours or 24 hrs max then wash my hair again. Just because it weighs my hair down and I don’t like the greasy feeling but that’s just my preference.
Ex: if you have low porosity, simply google “products for low porosity” and you will be shown lists of different products specifically for your hair porosity.
If you have low porosity- pay attention to moisture! The low porosity will need hot water to open cuticles and always deep condition at least 20 min per week. Rinse hair with cool water. Add leave in conditioner!!!!! Moisture 2-4x during the week. If you have med porosity then you can cut back on how often you deep condition and re-moisturize your hair during the week. If you hair easily absorbs moisture, then you need even less. There is more. Check out vids from a UK Trichologist ON TH-cam. She actually breaks this down very well.
Girl, you should get your inferiority complex looked at as soon as possible, cause you on Obama’s Internet just sounding ignorant and hateful for no reason…. if she’s not for you move on if you hate yourself go get some therapy.
@@disisreyreyI'm usually good at placing ethnicity by looks and/or background accents, but you've got me stumped. I'm stuck between West or Southern Africa. If you say East, I'm never guessing accents again. Edit: You're stunning wherever you're from.
Girl get you a electric heating cap. Used curl activator for a moisturizer it is the best.. and then put a plastic shower cap on and sit up under. Conditioner heating cap.. I've been having mine for 31 years it's older than you. 😏🤦🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️☺️ And they still work.. it really works it's really good.
As a high porosity girl your hair is very interesting to me. No matter how much water you add it doesn’t seem to soak it up at all !

Thank you ! Bonnet and pillow cases from Amazon ! (Linked my Amazon store in the description bar !)
How long did it take for your length to come back from your big chop
Girl my back hair is damaged and couldn't grow what should I doooooo helppp
after washing and detangling your hair, do you style it while it’s still wet or dry when you use the spray bottle ?
When its damp !
your so pretty and i love your hair
I get it I have that 3c 4a 4b too😁
Thanks sis for sharing ❤
Hi where'd you get your bonnet from?
You have beautiful hair. Thanks for sharing ♥️.

How do I wrap my hair?
What hair product do u use in your hair for your hair to grow
I just started growing my hair. How long does it have to grow before I start trimming the ends?
Great video girl! Jesus loves you and cares deeply about you! ❤️ You are loved and special to Him.
Amen❤
Helpful video - thank you! What was the product you used in the protective styles section?
Daily moisture cream and instant soothe scalp by head & shoulders. Just added links in description bar :)
Is your hair relaxed ?
I have to buy Haitian castor oil and that lustrasilk
thank u for the info. when you moistirize your hair 3 times a week do you put oil to seel it
Not all the time, the only times I use oil to seal is if it’s lightweight otherwise I wait til wash day when I do my hot oil treatment cause it’s usually heavier/thicker like castor oil, just for a few hours or 24 hrs max then wash my hair again.
Just because it weighs my hair down and I don’t like the greasy feeling but that’s just my preference.
New here and this video is everything
I just met you and yoare doing a good job gal
What's ur porosity?
Google
She said its high porosity
Can I still do hot oil treatment with protective styles
You can but I personally wouldn’t do it, depends on the hairstyle tho. Let’s say box braids/cornrows, yes. But sew ins/tape ins, no.
how tall are you?
5’10
Awesome tips..💯💜💯💜
I wash mu hair every day i know if you have tips might braid
Ma'am you do not have 4g curls
Have you seen Manes by Mell? Shes good! Plus a curly hair stylist
How often do you trim
Every 3 months
How does porosity help me choose products?
Ex: if you have low porosity, simply google “products for low porosity” and you will be shown lists of different products specifically for your hair porosity.

@@1922mistybluecheck out Afobe Atoyebi. Also keep your scalp clean/ clear of grease etc. Get into the habit of massaging.

That what is wrong with you guys😂
All mixed and white ppl hair grow fast therefore your doing nothing special
Lmao I’m not mixed, 100% African you bozo.

Every African isn’t dark skinned and, while the Arab mixed Africans do sometimes have that skin tone, they don’t have those facial/body features.
