Heyy! I agree I absolutely need to just wash my hair right when it feels dirty. Nothing wrong with washing curly hair weekly.
Yesss, I’ve started washing my hair once a week, and it feels better than waiting too long
Me too but I just co wash in between
I also wash every week but I’ve started a length retention challenge and I’ve gone a month without washing a honestly my hair hair feels so good and moisturized . I’m going to starte washing ever other week but I feel like I needed to wash every week bc of my dandruff but oiling once a week and sulfur 8 dandruff treatment for braids occasionally works for me , my hair stays moisturized longer with not to much build up and my scalp feels good .
I bought my professional hooded dryer at a professional salon store, because if you buy them online, you risk buying a fake one like I did. Girl my fake “professional rolling dryer” burst into flames with my mom in it lmaooo. So I recommend going to a store that sells to salons
Not “with my mom in it” 😭😭😭
I-💀💀💀 how much did you pay at a professional salon store?
Oh my goodness was your mum ok and most importantly did yall sue? Ain't no way they gonna try to make me motherless. Somebody gonna pay.
Hope she's alright tho.
😂😂😂
hello?!):!/ is she okay 😭😭
The way I bought a big ass Barbie doll like head (I think the brand is Naturalista), so I can finally learn how to do box braids and cornrows! I told myself this'll be the last year I can't braid my own hair.
It’s a good investment even if it is “a children’s toy” my sister just got one for Christmas and I think it’ll be good for practice on what to do with her hair! She’ll usually practice on me but I don’t want a comb tangled in my hair 😬 she’s 5 but still 😂
Same here!! I order one so I can practice doing simple braids and flat twists. This is the last year for me too!
At the ripe age of 29, i have just figured out how to cornrow my own hair. I cant tell u how other than god just spoke to my hands 😅
😂😂😂😂. Please ask him to speak to mine.
Come on arms!! You look great Will. Purr.
Honestly! I use my moms OLD hooded dryer that sits on the counter top and she is FAITHFUL lol
Me too! I've had my old one for so long and it still works just fine. I can't even justify buying a new one 😊
I did the same with leave in and wasn’t a fan with not using it bc the mousse made my hair too crunchy. I did stop using deep conditioners bc I saw a reel from a natural hair cosmetic chemist that mentioned that deep conditioners are just regular conditioners with added oils. He said all we have to do is just use a regular conditioner and process it for 10-15 minutes under heat to get the same effect. I tried it and it definitely works!
Also a fan of ‘white people shampoo’ it’s the only thing that cleans my hair properly. I use a natural hair shampoo as a second cleanse since they tend to be heavy in conditioners
"just know, that I am older now, and I CAN FIGHT BACK"🤣 too funny. Yes, you will catch me looking at Garnier and Herbal Essences tooo. I also can't use oils and all that near the scalp. The new Head and Shoulders Bare in hydrating is amazing!
Will I just wanna say a big thank you to your contribution as not only a content creator but also being apart of the natural hair community. You’ve truly inspired and open my eyes as a videographer,editor, and xyz for my hair. I love the new format btw with the subway surfers layout LMAO😂. Also as far as hooded dryers maybe a more mobile one? So you can have it hovering over behind your couch or behind your office chair etc?
No fr like we need those baby doll heads back that they had Barbie and Bratz doing back in the 90s/early 2000s because I used to practice my braiding on them and I'm good at it but I never tried to cornrow them because for some reason I thought it was so special of a technique that had to be passed down from one braider in the family to everyone else 😂 keep doing your thing Will. You inspired me with the gel wash n go's ❤️
I went to Tori!! We have the same curl pattern I love her sm 😭 unfortunately I learned curly cuts do NOT work for me in the long run but I would pay good money for her to wash my hair again
Why
Hey Will ! I wash my hair every 3/4 days ( it works for MY Hair lol). And make your changes for 2024 and let the people know your results . ❤ your hair !
Whats your go to style?
Garnier Fructis is my girl when I travel and unexpectedly have to wash my hair! Every drugstore has it and it works great for black hair.
😢 I haven’t been able to find the 1 minute mask anywhere
You make watching hair videos so entertaining and informative
He really does doesn't he? Like I can't play his videos in the background. I have to watch and pay attention otherwise imma miss some gems.
I bought my 11 year old son a mannequin head with his hair texture this christmas bc he has the nerve to have butt length hair that needs to be done every day and a mama who can not and will not learn to braid. When he gets better I need the hookup for years of pain and suffering doing all that hair
😂 smart mama
Thank you for letting him grow his hair! 💕Better than my mama cussin me out.🤣
@@dancemt1573 sorry your mama wasn't having it. Hopefully you get to wear your hair how you like it now💖
Cheers to better habits! You're not the only one who spun the block on some things. It's crazy how my scalp and hair want two different things. The Sally's hooded dryer is great. Also, random, but the glasses and curls 🔥Thanks for another awesome vid Will✨
That hooded dryer changed my liiiiiiiife😅
I feel you on my hair and scalp wanting opposite things 😂
I don’t listen to the noise, I don’t care what the trends are, what work or don’t work for someone else, what’s all of a sudden “wrong”, what new product hit the shelves … I just don’t. I went natural back in 2010 and once I found out what worked for me, I quit listening and watched for entertainment and continued to wash weekly, do my hot oil treatments and deep conditioning treatments, my Aphogee protein from time to time, trims, and I wash n go because I’m just not going to style, not even a “protective” style. My hair grew regardless of the changing times and I’m of a mind where can’t nobody come in and tell you what to do to your body. The proof is in the growth and the healthy state of the hair! Your hair is gorgeous, I’ve been watching you for some time and you just have the loveliest hair ❤
I got a shampoo brush thanks to you because it sounds like our scalp issues are similar and it has definitely been a game changer. I wash my hair once a week and most of the time I couldn't even get through a full week without my scalp letting it snow but after getting the shampoo brush, I definitely get a full week's wear out of my hair.
Also I once again am applauding you for your editing and production skills. You really have an eye for captivating visuals!
Heyy! Black soap bar / liquid shampoo gets the grease right out the first time and it’s really good for your hair and scalp as well . Don’t give up on grease at least not 100%. Great video by the way.❤
Okay gym results! 👏🏾 Another great year watching your channel! I’m growing my hair out as well, so your tips definitely have come in handy. And Ima get a laugh out of your videos every time 😂
Hey Gorl! I'm loving the back to back video drops. Short, simple, and to the point. Oh and to your other post about commercials, get your $$ Will, for the ppl who don't like it, they can go.🚪
I swear I always see your videos pop up when I thinking about shaving all my hair off lmfao
Don't forget W A T E R
😂😂
The giovanni 50/50 calming conditioner is so good on my scalp.
Also the giovanni 50/50 leave in is so nice too.
Omg I forgot about Giovanni!
Dang we're bringing Giovanni up in this conversation lol. Haven't even thought about that brand since I was a teen!!! And they were my go to dive biolage was so dang expensive. I may have to circle back to the OG basics😂
@chocolatte522 its very afforable and it laaasts, i love that it frothes so a little ends up going a long way.
i also wanna learn to cornrow my own hair and how to do styles with added hair 😭
9:05 FACTS!!! Some of these products take forever to wash out. im sitting there twisting my hair every way i can think of in the shower 😥😔
I agree with the sourcing of grease 😭 I’m still looking for a wax or something more ethically sourced. Something that isn’t $30 for 4oz of product
Carols Daughter has a good one with no petroleum. It's a pomade and it's not as heavy.
@@MT-yx5cu My hair doesn’t mind heavy 😭 but I’ll definitely give it a try
@@missrespectful I feel you, mine doesn't either lol, but it's nice to have someone you can layer heavily or lightly if you just need a touch up😄.
@@MT-yx5cu trueee
I big chopped my hair in February this year and I’ve been experimenting with grease. I’m trying to determine if I like it or not. So I’m gonna have to bring it with me in 2024 😅. We also have the same birthday 🎉
Nizoral shampoo!!!!! For that dandruff… cleared my son up.
Love the Split View video🙏🏾🙏🏾
Will that body is bawwwdying gurl💪🏾👏🏾
Better Length hair company offer clip ins that match type 3 or 4 hair to a T !!! I’m sure they would be happy to work with you.
Will, you look so good! Thank you for brightening my 2023! 🥳
I am still always amazed by your editing
Tell me now you was just talking about grease and I get an ad about dawn platinum dish soap
This video was perf! Literally same with the detangling brushes. We have the same or very similar hair type, pattern etc. I trim my hair once every 8 months, the cycle is Feb then October then June. June of 24, I’ll be trimming again and I normally take off an inch to 2 inches if need be.
Thumbnail be teasing me cuz I be thinking imma be seeing some chest, oh well guess I'll stay an give a like 😂😂
Hey Will! Another thing I'm giving up is overuse of product. I've learned to try out the recommended amount, then increase by a little if needed. Cuts down on the flakes in my scalp for me. Also, I use Plain old Aloe Vera Juice instead of water to (re) moisturize my hair - my hair is SO soft every time. (I follow up with a little oil on my ends.)
Also
Will, for the grease in your hair you can dilute some apple cider vinegar with water to remove build up from your scalp
Will, I had similar scalp issues and through process of elimination realized that gel was the cause. Haven’t had anymore scalp issues for the past 10 yrs since removing gels from my routine.
Good & fun & Yep! No more noise…
Red-hot tools has a hooded dryer that I love
I use grease for hair growth. It works wonders around my egdes......$0.99 jar.
The glow up these daysss William!!
Will try using Seabreeze as a rinse after shampooing before conditioner. It eradicated my dandruff.
Malibu undoo goo will get that grease out. Its the best clarifying shampoo i ever used. Its ph balanced and doesnt strip the hair but cleans it well
Love this. My 2024 hair goals is to learn my own hair and stop using products just because someone recommended them. I found a good oil in Marshalls and been using ever since and I just took out my added mini twists and my hair has grown so much. Definitely got to keep this up but the curls were looking right and tight will!
I love Will's energy
I deal with fine hair also Will, and I only use a detangling brush for a wash no go, or when I'm doing a teo strand twist. So really just for styling. Otherwise it's a "swimmers comb" wide tooth comb or my fingers.
Also for wash n goes I use a göt 2 B "glued" in the tube for a soft but firm hold. That of top of my leave- in works well with no crunchiness. I can't EVER find the type if wetline that you use where I live and I don't want to order it of Amazon just in case it jacks me up and I want to return it. No product junkies in 2023.
With grease I had the same problem, I used the Aztec clay mask and the ultimate hydration method. Worked so well!
whrn you said thosse cheeap countertop hooded dryers break i was befuddled. there is one sitting in my closet rn that has been with me since thats so raven was still running, my first graduation, and itll still be here for my second one.
your hair looks so much better than last year
Omg we have the same birthday I knew we connected 🎉
Put apple cider vinegar in your shampoo. It cuts the grease. 😊
Omg we’re birthday twinz 🎉 1/26 baby!
Me personally all I do is mix Cantu and amla oil on my hair and ends and amla oil on my scalp ,then I put my hair in a bun and wear a hair scarf of silk with silk sheets and pillow case
I rarely wear my hair down cause I'm insecure
Vida Hair Growth 5 piece kit!
I will stand by her forever! (Not good if you have build up but is AMAZING if you have alopicia (what it was originally craated for) OR just want thicker hair/want length rention.
I add Vicks Vabor Rub, to my hair grease, no more itching for me, ijs
Hey Will, you could try some hypoallergenic fragrance free leave ins to see if it helps the scalp .
Yes, I have to cowash with conditioner twice a week, and I use as I am cowash dry and itchy scalp as my shampoo weekly. Then, I use the actual as I am dry and itchy shampoo once once a month. That has helped me with my scalp issues and helped me retain length regular shampoo tangles and dries my hair out no matter how moisturizing it says it is if it foams. It's a no for me
I have a hooded dryer by LCL Beauty that I really like. got it on a sale!
I started using Dawn to wash my hair when I switched back to using Blue Magic!
You should try pure neatbraid conditioning shining gel it’s really good
Seun Okimi’s cornrow tutorial was the only one that clicked for me on how to cornrow my own hair
Love the split screen.
Beautiful hair journey ❤! Modern Elements hooded stand dryer at Sally's Beauty so far it's been 3 years that I have it! For years I had the conair white table top one since college days 10+ they last if it doesn't fall down lol.
I too spin the block on leave in
Can’t wait till you come back to Philly! Love the video…still would love a beard routine babes😊 happy new year🎉
Will, link the shower filter you use? Thanks!!
Hey Will lol Tori from Philly really gave you an amazing cut. It was my favorite style of yours!! And another thing, the grease hate is getting too crazy for me😭 yall just not using it right!!!
Not me sitting here watching this with my counter top dryer on 🤣🤣 I agree with you though she is a nuisance
Have you tried the scalp spray that comes with that same line of head and shoulders? I use it every other day and it’s been keeping the fakes and itching at bay
Try black seed oil it will help out with the dandruff
I haven’t had a actual haircut in 2 years I had a trim in March but I need to do better because I think I need to start from scratch but at least it’s cold out so nobody won’t see my big bald head
Pls do videos on different ways to style your hair, I need variety 😔😔😔
I don't use grease for some reason I started using an herbal skin salve with CBD oil and Shea moisture tea tree blemish spray and no longer have dandruff.
Will so good looking 😍
Your videos never fail to make me laugh! Thanks for the tips! ✨
I have a wave/zigzag pattern, and brushes just frizz out my hair. It kinda looks like Will does too. I wonder if using the brush to define only works for spiral/coil people 🤔
Queria uns produtos gringos para os meus cachos, pena que sou do Brasil 😢😢😢
Will. Web3. When. Whennnn. 🎉🎉🎉
You must didn't try that Suave clarifying shampoo.
@WillOnAWhim Do You Use Protein Treatments?
Ima need them glasses
It's just simple!
Omg your hair looks AMAZING as usual
Wet line extreme gel?
Hey Will. Do you do the same / similar routine for the hair on your face as you do to the hair on your head?
If you like the effects of grease but not the build up…try natures blessing
2:27: Hello. Where can I find the snare hit sound after "Kiki"? I have been looking for it for a hot minute🙏🏽
I recommend Beaut' eSoul hooded dryer
Lovely hair
What scalp serum do you use? I have been looking high and low for one that I can use in between washes 😩
Check the video befpre this one - he recommends several Hope that helps! 😊
Gold N Hot Ionic Stand Bonnet Dryer - on Amazon worth the price
Hi will, try Olaplex no 3 treatment and some of their other product, my very fine strands have become much thicker and stronger 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽...
Love your videos so funny & informative. How do you feel about aloe Vera ?
Kirsten Ess clarifying shampoo to get the grease out 😊
Have you tried the K 18 leave in conditioner? I promise you it’s the truth AND the light 😂
Am I the only one who doesn’t use grease but uses oil? Like I don’t use ultra sheen or blue magic unless it’s the last thing I have in the cabinet. But shea butter? I will. Especially if I’m pushing off washing my hair because of time constraints. Or if I’m not trying to add any more leave in conditioner or gels to my hair 😅
Ok I spoke too soon maybe I should have waited to the end
Oh you did that little one heaux
