How did I get moisture overload you ask?! Well.... I got really busy one day and left deep conditioner in my for about 29 hours if not more know it was wrong. The moment I rinsed my hair, knew i'd messed up instantly. Don't be a LAILA! Take heed 😫😘
Alot of black women don't know but air drying can also contribute to moisture overloading. Keeping water on fine hair more than one hour and thick hair more than two (average) starts to weigh down the hair by causing the cuticles to swell and encourages breakage, splitting/tearing and the hair may end up looking like heat damage really . This includes walking up and down in the same towel or t-shirt for lengthy periods since these do have a maximum absorption it probably hit in the first hour and even leaving the house with wet wash and goes. Pre pooing actually doesn't do much for helping this since the oil itself can do the exact thing (but from the outside of the hair rather than inside)
Laila, I have been combating hygral fatigue hair for approximately a year now, and I totally know what you are going through. If there are any additional tips that you can share , please do.
You're so right about protein being the black sheep of the natural hair community. Everyone is suddenly afraid of protein when this is the basis of our hair strand. Sharing the hair truth as usual!
Girl, I have dryness overload! 😂 I'll probably take the advice you gave and do the opposite to moisturize my dry head. Lol your out fit is all the way cute. You look AMAZEBALLS as usual!
I'm so glad you discussed it because I'm noticing alot of black women aren't acknowledging moisture overload. Water overload(hair not completely dry within two hours), deep conditioning over 8, protein treatment over two hours, wetting hair regularly for styles and even leaving the house with wet hair for styles such as wash and go can be the reason natural hair is shedding excessively , breaking/tearing and may be the reason your hair is fragile, thinning or looking like heat damage. I wish you mentioned that oils can cause the same issues by weighing u down the hair but rather from the outside so pre pooing actually should always be followed by a medium to heavy power clarifying shampoo within an hour
MRSKINKY1 Girl do your research please before you come at me. There are scientific reports and articles on it which include kinky hair. Some hair is of course stronger so yours may be fine but others suffer
Cleora Aleise I never once said blow dry or use heat. But you can actually blow dry your hair on cool setting, use micro fibre towels and scrunch the water out (ensuring to change it after the first hour), sit near a fan, use a safe low level of heat occasionally or simply ensure you remove most of the water from your hair so the drying time is shorter. Recently i read using regular or micro fibre towels/t-shirts make no different on coarse hair but that really depends on what you think. Clearly some hair is strong enough for the effects of over hydration not to show but it contributes to why hair may be fragile, shedding or breaking
Jayare yup, I know. I typically use a microfiber towel or a t shirt if I don't have a clean MF towel. Sometimes I use my blow dryer on cool. Everything you're saying is nothing new to me. If you want to explain something, explain what you meant by "water overload (hair not completely dry in 2 hrs)" Most natural's hair takes quit a while to completely dry especially if it's a wash and go.
Hi. Could you please tell what you did in your routine that may have caused the moisture overload and what you will do in the future once your balance is intact. The routines that you have posted look great to me. I really love your vids and look forward to your posts always. Remain blessed.
Zameka Tanga I figured she meant breakage. Most times people mean breakage and not shedding. Had a disagreement with a woman in an online natural hair forum because she said her hair would "come out" when she combed it. I told her it should we shed hair daily she went nuts on me *sigh*
Laila I'm having an SOS moment. PLEASE HELP! Initially when I first went natural I remember it to be coarse and thick (so I thought), however, I noticed some changes when I straightened it last year. It's now fine and thick(well I still have my volume when the strands are together, however, individually it's very thin and noticeable when I do my twist). It's been 8 months since the straightener. Starting to accept it being fine by stopping the usage of combing (ive embrace finger detangle). What else can I do to get my thick hair back? I miss the thickness in my twist.
Hi Laila!♥️ I hvnt seen your motivational videos up here in a while 😣 I hope you make some! I've started my journey, myself. I talk on much from FAILURE to DOUBT, and VALUE, etc. You inspired me.♥️
Literally am going through this right now. There is not enough about protein overload on the natural hair community. It took me a while to realize why my hair was behaving this way... I thought I broke it lol
I think I have moisture overload because my hair wasn't dry after 3 days (in braids for a braidout). This never happened before so now ill be more mindful about doing protein treatments. I'm doing one this weekend
I've been suffering form moisture overload for a couple of months. I've tired light proteins weekly and aphogee 2 step protein treatments and it doesn't seem to be working my hair is continuing to break off. What do I do? Is time to cut my hair?
Reading the comments and thinking about the information in the book (I've read it a few years ago)...I forgot how confusing natural hair can be...😣I think the book is a really good recomendation to get solid guidelines and build a good regimen. Thanks for that!
I used to get moisture overload all the time when I first went natural. now I use a deep conditioner with protein and moisture every 5-7 days and my hair is thriving I also found babassu oil really helps strengthen my hair
I don’t know if you’ll still answer questions on this video, but what do you suggest when your hair is highly protein sensitive. My hair is high density, low porosity, andddd very very fine. I find when I use anything with protein my hair just snaps. My mom even loss a lot of hair using a conditioner that was protein based. Should I just skip it all together?
Hawa Ballay I use Nexxus emergencee Or Aloxxi Polymedic I wash once then apply the protein treatment. Then I follow with a moisturizing shampoo and deep moisturizing conditioner.
Aphogee two step treatment formula has changed. I was so unhappy with the new formulation. Now I use hemp protein powder with yogurt and kefir. This works better for me and the results were faster. TFS.
Thanks, Im pretty knowledgeable about hair care as this is my third time to waist length; however, recently I've been getting splits Im off to download the book. Thanks!
I know this video is old and you will probably never see this but I'm going to ask anyway. Can you do a video tutorial on how you do your head wraps and where you got them?
This was one of your most informative video and I am happy that you made it. I leaned a lot from it. Looking forward to more as always from you the ' black hair guru' ;)
Akos Dee Any beauty supply store or Sally Beauty, if you're from the states. It's usually in a vial-type of packaging. I've seen a brand that has it in a packet...kind of like a protein poo. However, the vial is the real deal. Should range around $1.99- $2 max. Anything more is just outrageous.
Sorry, I really don't. However, a few of Laila's videos lists items of where she bought from. I recall her doing shout outs a handful of times. Matter of fact, I think she said it in her recent video with the hair clips and the beads. I believe she said the name of a store of where she purchased the beads.
Hi Laila, could you suggest some reasonably priced moisturising conditioners please? I find that most conditioners on the market have protein in them. I'm currently using creme of nature argan oil shampoo and conditioner which I love but I'm not sure if I should be using it weekly because it is a light protein one. I sometimes alternate with tgin honey miracle mask which I think is moisture based, but would like a cheaper alternative. Love your videos btw! x

You're so right about protein being the black sheep of the natural hair community. Everyone is suddenly afraid of protein when this is the basis of our hair strand. Sharing the hair truth as usual!
Wow I never knew there was such thing as moisture overload lol I always assumed black hair needed as much moisture as possible
Angel Udom it's happened to me relaxed and natural!
Happened to me as well. It's when your hair feels mushy and too soft
30 mins to 1 hour is the minimum and maximum amount of time I deep condition. Don't know how people sleep with it. Sounds messy.
Latoya Williams it's actually quite easy. Which is precisely how so many of us keep making the mistake of doing it. 😩
Girl, I have dryness overload! 😂 I'll probably take the advice you gave and do the opposite to moisturize my dry head. Lol your out fit is all the way cute. You look AMAZEBALLS as usual!
I have this too. My hair gets so dry and breaks off. I am still trying to work out how best to deal with this :)
I've been trying to unlock my growth potential for five years now, my growth potential has a pad lock on it & I've lost the stinking key! lol
I wish my hair was long it's growing everyday but it's taking long💟💋✌
Abia-kyarna have patience!
I need these earrings ❤️😫
El Tu I know right!! How gorgeous r they?!
Yes! They are everything!!!
Hydrolyzed wheat protein made a huge difference for me! Where do you get yours?

Jayare but it's better to let hair air dry than to blowdry
Cleora Aleise yes, air drying is better. Air drying is all I do and my natural hair is very healthy.
MRSKINKY1 Girl do your research please before you come at me. There are scientific reports and articles on it which include kinky hair. Some hair is of course stronger so yours may be fine but others suffer
Cleora Aleise I never once said blow dry or use heat.

But how can we see on our wet hair that we have moisture overload or protein overload ?
Hi. Could you please tell what you did in your routine that may have caused the moisture overload and what you will do in the future once your balance is intact. The routines that you have posted look great to me. I really love your vids and look forward to your posts always. Remain blessed.
Please do an Aphogee 2 min reconstructor video. Is it necessary to deep condition afterwards? I always wondered.
Yup
What about those who are protein sensitive?
Still need protein
You can't "avoid" shedding gurl it's a natural process. Maybe excessive shedding.
Zameka Tanga I figured she meant breakage. Most times people mean breakage and not shedding. Had a disagreement with a woman in an online natural hair forum because she said her hair would "come out" when she combed it. I told her it should we shed hair daily she went nuts on me *sigh*
Kae Belli wow how can ppl not know that?! O.o

priscilanti52 let them grow and cut often
Kimeesunshine thanks hun. Looks like the only option I have for now.
priscilanti52 you can also use hair thickening products for fine hair. Make sure if you straighten it again, you use a heat protectant.
Hi Laila!♥️
I hvnt seen your motivational videos up here in a while 😣
I hope you make some!

This video was very helpful
Are you referring to the Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed - 2.0floz / 60ml by
MakingCosmetics sold on Amazon?
Awesome video... you look beautiful and I love the earrings and head wrap
I've been suffering form moisture overload for a couple of months. I've tired light proteins weekly and aphogee 2 step protein treatments and it doesn't seem to be working my hair is continuing to break off. What do I do? Is time to cut my hair?
This video is right on time! Trying to get the balance correct for sure. Love the outfit, headwrap, and backdrop always - thanks for sharing Laila!
Reading the comments and thinking about the information in the book (I've read it a few years ago)...I forgot how confusing natural hair can be...😣I think the book is a really good recomendation to get solid guidelines and build a good regimen. Thanks for that!
Ur tan has me in shambles!😢😍🌌💙💥 great video bae, very informative *grabs tissue*
You're glowing!!! Thanks for the information.
TH-cam is doing me wrong!!! where are my post notifications
listening to the book right now. wow, super informative
I used to get moisture overload all the time when I first went natural. now I use a deep conditioner with protein and moisture every 5-7 days and my hair is thriving I also found babassu oil really helps strengthen my hair
Jasmine do you mind telling the name of your deep conditioner?
I use mielle organics babassu deep conditioner
First comment.
Best Textured book on the Market😙😙😙!!!

Cute earrings
My hair likes hydrolyzed elastin protein. The others makes my hair hard.
Ne_nenyc what product exactly do you use ? I want to avoid my hair being hard at all cost
Hawa Ballay I use Nexxus emergencee
Or Aloxxi Polymedic
I wash once then apply the protein treatment. Then I follow with a moisturizing shampoo and deep moisturizing conditioner.
Ne_nenyc thanks, will do !!
Loving this color on your skin
wow i didnt know that it was bad to have to much moisture.
happines12 Protein and Moisture overload are pretty bad.
happines12 Too much of anything is bad. That's why it's called "too much" lol. Everything in moderation.
Aphogee two step treatment formula has changed. I was so unhappy with the new formulation. Now I use hemp protein powder with yogurt and kefir. This works better for me and the results were faster. TFS.
Hey Laila! The audible link isn't working. Love your videos, they are always so educational.
I have that book. I have to read it again
Thanks, Im pretty knowledgeable about hair care as this is my third time to waist length; however, recently I've been getting splits Im off to download the book. Thanks!
experiencing this right now, just bought a protein treatment today hopefully it works on wash day tomorrow!! love your channel btw
Rice water??
That is a very good book. It helped me choose the right shampoo and conditioner for my hair. It's very informative.
I know this video is old and you will probably never see this but I'm going to ask anyway. Can you do a video tutorial on how you do your head wraps and where you got them?
Bruh I wonder what would happen if I moisture overload my 4c hair.
This was one of your most informative video and I am happy that you made it. I leaned a lot from it. Looking forward to more as always from you the ' black hair guru' ;)
I had protein overload & I had to do an entirely new big chop
it's very hard to correct! Hope you're enjoying your new journey x
Protein treatments are life. I use novex hydrolysed keratin.
But, what if you have low porosity hair? Do you still need to use ACV or Aloe Vera??
You and Stephanie Coker has similar voices. Thanks for the info
Thanks for these tips. Gurl your skin popping
Your headtie ❤️❤️
Did you cover the protein OVERLOAD topic?
Always nice to watch your videos , informative and helpful :) what would you recommend when hair seems to stay at the same length ?
soul sessions tv Bdhrh I know it is the key to everything. But in the meantime I want to know if there is something that I don't do or do wrongly
first layla
Laila how did you wrap your scarf in the moisture overload video or do you have a video on that already
Thank you so much lady. Really helps
I need to know where you got those earrings from
I love that wrap and your shirt!
Those earrings 😍😍😍😍
Great video. Glad I subscribed a long time ago.
Thank you :)
Your earrings! 😍
😘😘😘
Thumbs up!
Where do you purchase the hydrolysed wheat protein from?
Akos Dee Any beauty supply store or Sally Beauty, if you're from the states. It's usually in a vial-type of packaging. I've seen a brand that has it in a packet...kind of like a protein poo. However, the vial is the real deal. Should range around $1.99- $2 max. Anything more is just outrageous.
LearningFromTH-cam I live in the U.K. though, we don't have Sally's beauty supply store 😔😔
LearningFromTH-cam do you know somewhere I can order it from?
Sorry, I really don't. However, a few of Laila's videos lists items of where she bought from. I recall her doing shout outs a handful of times. Matter of fact, I think she said it in her recent video with the hair clips and the beads. I believe she said the name of a store of where she purchased the beads.

empress395 Aussie moist conditioner .. creme of nature also has a Shea butter and mango moisturizing shampoo/conditioner in an orange bottle
cebmania - Thank you. I will look into those 😊
