Thank you for your videos. I am a caucasian adoptive mother with a multi-racial daughter whose hair and skin tone are similar to yours. I have to admit that my attempts to care for her hair did horrible things to the texture of her curls before I knew any better. She just turned 6, and thanks in part to your tutelage, her curls are defined, bouncy, and reach past her shoulders. She loves watching your videos with me and has come to say how much she loves her hair. Thanks again.
you use it on everything tbh i start with my root and go down all the way to my ends, i put extra on the middle of my hair and the ends since thats what shows the most
Sigh😩. Alba has done it again to my edges and my emotions. I'm not sure if it's the summer glow, the extra melanin, or those curls... But jeez louise, she makes me proud to be a woman of color👏🏾🙌🏾
I heard that if you do go swimming to soak your hair in tap water and coat your hair with conditioner and then you can go swimming, it like protects it. And if the conditioner has silicones it actually helps protect it better. I heard a couple curly hair girls mention that. Since swimming is a popular question
You are beautiful inside and out. I've been watching your videos for many years now and you definitely are my curly girl inspiration! You have great positive energy, your family is beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work and efforts making your videos and even letting the outside world know about your personal life. I know your son will get better in time, you guys are doing an amazing job. My cousin is autistic as well. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best!💜
I agree with you about the chlorine pools. I never ever swim in public chlorine pools, because of what I know about them as well only salt water pools.
you're really good at explaining things. I've taken tips from not only this video, but many of your others and am already noticing a difference in my hair! I'm currently transitioning and have a long way to go, but am excited to see my hair improve. You da best.
I've been bingeing your videos all day, and am so inspired to improve my lifestyle and appreciation for my hair because of you! Thanks for being so authentic in how you live and are and for just being you!
How do you keep your hair curly overnight? Is it wrapped? I don't have a lot of time to get ready in the morning and need a way to maintain curls and kee it professional for work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
I was born in the Dominican Republic also and growing up my mom as always straightened my hair either with rollers or the flat iron and I've never seen my Heath curls but knowing you were also born in the Dominican Republic I feel much better because I can final see how people from the Dominican really have their hair
You are my favorite curly girl here on youtube. I'm soo obsessed with your curly hair routine videos. I've watched every single curly hair video of yours. I can never get tired of them even if you post a curly hair video every single day. And the weird part is I don't even have a hair type like yours.
Right on. Especially as women, we wake up applying crap and end our day with crap in products too. Men do also but we're 90% more toxic than they are due to all the products we use.
I do agree with Alba and avoiding pools with chlorine. I avoid them A LOT! However, if you are going to a water park or there's a pool party and you dont want to be left out. I would suggest taking a regular conditioner that you trust and slathering it all over your hair. Comb through and if your hair is long enough put it in a high braided ponytail or a high bun. Conditioner will create somewhat of a barrier between your hair and the water and make it harder for the chlorine to penetrate the strands directly. TO CLARIFY, it WON'T FULLY protect from chlorine, but will help keep away an amount directly to your strands. I've only done this twice because i try to avoid pools, but I do cherish this tip if I'm going.
Henna mask is amazing for the summer time!! It builds a protective layer over your hair strands which basically blocks the sun from hitting your hair. I use it once a month!
Hi Alba, do you have any cheaper alternatives to shea moisture ? I'm a teen and I don't receive a lot of money to be able to afford expensive products perhaps you have a few from before you went organic ? Thanks x
Yassss!!! You are seriously too pretty! And your hair is to die for! I remember a few years ago when you used to straighten it all the time and what a difference! Your hair is just perfect now! #beautiful
do you think you could do a video on dandruff in curly hair? i dont know if you have any experience with dry scalp but i have dealt with it my whole life and am getting real sick of it
Can you explain how to make the Rosemary water spritz and how you use it/store it? Thanks! I went natural because of you! My life is so much easier and my hair getting healthier....You inspire us curly girls :)
YES YES YES! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIPS I WAS LOOKING FOR A SUN CARE HAIR ROUTINE. LOVE SHEA MOISTURE BUT I DONT BELIEVE I HAVE USED ANY OF THEIR HAIR PRODUCTS SO I WILL BE TRYING SOME OF THE PRODUCTS U SHOWED. THANKS AGAIN LOVE! IM EXCITED HAHA
Well my initial thought around this hair routine I showed is that it's worked for me through all summer weather. By summer proof hair routine I mean it'll lock your hair in place no matter what summer brings. I've coated my hair with 3 different layers of moisture and used a gel as my last step that includes slip with our stiffness. This 3 step application works on humidity as well. That's what it's meant for. Have you tried the 3 layers of product process? Try it first and see the difference :)
Before swimming, I part my daughter's type 3c curly hair into large sections and twist or braid with a product that contains shea butter and bees wax (such as Carol's Daughter Loc Butter). The bees wax coats the hair shaft well and doesn't allow the water to penetrate that deeply. My daughter swam every day for a week and her haor was undamaged and not dried out. Also, after swimming in chlorinated water, don't shampoo your hair. Cowash cowash cowash! Preferably with a deep conditioner. You don't want to strip the hair further with shampoo right after swimming in chlorine.
Love your videos and your curls are always beautiful. Just wanted to warn you though, salt water pools are not chlorine free. The use a chlorine generator instead of the addition of actual chlorine like regular pools. What it does is, that with the salt, it generates the same agents used in regular pools instead of them being added directly. With that being said, we do have a salt water system in our pool.
This is so useful, especially the gym one. With Chlorine water pool, I have tried using conditioner before jumping into the pool and it has worked out OK for me. Hope it helps!
Thanks! and Yes that may help avoid some chlorine from damaging your hair as much but what will help chlorine from entering your blood stream through your skin and weakening your immune systems defense against disease? I've placed 2 links in the description info bar right below the video so people understand my source and why I avoid chlorine. Check the link, it's super interesting and clear.
It makes sense, one of my friend has been having throat infection ever since she started learning swimming (in a public pool). Thanks a tonne!! Now, she can get a solution of the same.
Thanks for the tips Alba! They are big help because I didn't know how to really take care of my hair during summer time. By the way you have such beautiful and lovely curly hair :)
Hi alba! Your hair is gorgeous, just had to say that before I move on . My question is do you know any fellow natural hair TH-camrs with a mix of 3b and 3c hair(I'm puerto rican & jamacian so things get tricky)? Although your vids are very informative , I can't always use the products and routines you show. I'm at a loss about what products I should use for the summer.
i am a gel user I buy the La bella one from target. I would love to use the Camille rose naturals onw but I can't afford it. I live in flordia where it being hate it 10 months out of they year. so gel is my friend. also thank you for making me feel less crazy about the sunscreen my fiancé always looked at me like a weirdo when I out sunscreen in my hair
thank u! do u have any tips for sprays to control frizz? I tend to have a lot of fly aways when I do updos and don't use hairspray or mousse. any healthy suggestions?
Hi Alba, love your videos I just subscribed. I have a liquid leave in conditioner that does very well on my hair and was wondering if I can add rosemary to it also. plus I was wondering if their are any thickening products that I can use to give me more volume in my hair since its slightly thin? Thanks for all your great advice, Bridgette
Sense realizing you have low porosity hair what products have you stopped using and what products did you replace them with? Would you mind doing a video?
Yes I have switched from thick products to light weight products that are water based. For example instead of using the Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie, I switched to only using the style milk not the smoothie. and I noticed a significant difference!
+SunKissAlba I see! I've recently been doing the same thing but I'm having trouble keeping my hair moisturized with lighter products it constantly feels dry and I live in dry climate as well what would you recommend for keeping low porosity hair moisturized?
Hi Alba, Any recommendations for premature graying? I've been using all natural products on my curly hair, and for coloring I started using shea moisture hair color. Any ideas what other coloring products I can use?
Omg I just absolutely love your hair my hair use to be like that when I was a kid now one side wants to be somewhat curly and the other side really curly what should i do?
New products used! Beautiful results, Alba. Interesting information on chlorinated pools... learn something new everyday. Where do you get the Mercola oils? Where did you get that sunscreen, Alba? Great tips!!
Hi Hun, yes I've also added my source links in the description info right under the video on why chlorine pools are not safe. The Mercola's oils are sold at Mercola.com and the sunscreen I purchased at a swim suit store called swim spot but you can also buy it online on the Coola Suncare website
I love this routine but sometimes i haven't any time to let my hair airdrying and i have to blow dry it with a diffusor.Will this routine work if i use a diffusor? I love you Alba.. can you answer me please?
Can you talk about keeping curls fresh second third and fourth day? I spritz the roots like you say and add a syrum but the curls really start falling out second day. Should I be doing something different to them at night or during styling on the later days?
I am 1000% with you on chlorine pools is a hard NO! I love you sister your hair is what I aspire for mine to get back to as I have the exact same when my hair is loved correctly. Texas heat has been murderous tho. Have you done a video on what happens when you have not been able to trim your hair for a year plus and the damage from being dyed and hair stripped of color how to recover curl to the root? I know this is wordy, hope you can get what I am asking?
wow, i just read the article about pools, I never thought of the chemical reaction when urine and chlorine are combined😣 Thanks for the eye opener, pools were in my Summer schedule but my little ones suffer from asthma and eczema, thank goodness I'm 15min away from Miami beach.
I'm glad you've read it! It's so interesting and we tend to just dismiss it. But with ocean water and beach water you're less effected because it's such a large body of water from nature and urine doesn't have a such a bad side affect like when it touches chlorine
I'm having trouble making any of my styles last more than one day. How do you sleep on your hair after doing this styling? I wake up and all my curls in the back are flattened to the back of my head looking lifeless! Please help! I put a silk bonnet on but I feel like I"m missing a step!
Have you tried pineappling your hair? If not, try that! But if so, you may need to get a silk pillowcase and see how that would work for you, possibly in conjunction with the bonnet. :)
Thank you for those tips ! I agree that pools are toxic, but some people live far from beaches and rivers and can't afford a trip on holiday, so the only way to swim is to go to the pool :) Especially when you have some backache issues and swimming is the best sport to strengthen your body. Love your video, though. Have you been thinking about coming in Paris some day so you could get to know your french subscribers ?
Absolutely not! :) Shea Moistures campaign "Break The Walls" campaign was really inspired by this perception that it's only for ethnic hair which it is not. Curly hair belongs to many ethnicity background no matter your curl pattern
Hi Alba, Love your videos! I'm so happy I stumbled onto your channel. Quick question: How do you recommend finding out what "direction" my curls curl? I'm guilty of being addicted to my hair dryer. Now that I've seen your videos, I'm not afraid to air dry anymore! Side Note: Coconut Oil is my BFF too!!
I've watched a lot of your videos and love your step-by-step instructions. I've also tried doing your routines and, if needed, tweaking them a bit. But no matter what I do I still seem to have a good deal of frizz. I've tried using a little more leave-in products, but it makes my hair really hard and crunchy, but if I use too little I still have a lot of fuzz. Besides drinking more water, because I'm a huge aqua addict, do you have any recommendations to help fix it? Especially for the summer. (Though I haven't tried what is in this video yet)
hello Alba, I was wondering if you have any suggestions on a product to use on your face, in summer when not wearing makeup? something that is light and won't make your skin oily. I live in Arizona so, makeup in summer isn't something that I like to do:) Thanks so much!!
Hi Alba! Quick question. I have very similar hair to yours, but it is super dry! I try to put product in it, but it always gets way too frizzy and big. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
I'm glad I found your channel my natural hair is just like yours but medium length. Also I love your make up looks! And you have beautiful skin. Where are you from? 😊
Thank you for your videos. I am a caucasian adoptive mother with a multi-racial daughter whose hair and skin tone are similar to yours. I have to admit that my attempts to care for her hair did horrible things to the texture of her curls before I knew any better. She just turned 6, and thanks in part to your tutelage, her curls are defined, bouncy, and reach past her shoulders. She loves watching your videos with me and has come to say how much she loves her hair. Thanks again.
Shea Moisture has been killing the game recently. I can't live without my curl enhancing smoothie😩
I swear by the smoothie. Literally a curl saver!
Do you use it on your ends or roots?
Same for me! I stopped using it for a little bit and my hair started getting dry without it.
you use it on everything tbh i start with my root and go down all the way to my ends, i put extra on the middle of my hair and the ends since thats what shows the most
hahahaha i use it for a couple of months and my hair started getting soooo dry... i think my hair got tired from it
Sigh😩. Alba has done it again to my edges and my emotions. I'm not sure if it's the summer glow, the extra melanin, or those curls... But jeez louise, she makes me proud to be a woman of color👏🏾🙌🏾
Thanks so much honey! I'm so flattered by your comment :)
it's only 20 seconds in and I wanna cry because I love your hair so much
I heard that if you do go swimming to soak your hair in tap water and coat your hair with conditioner and then you can go swimming, it like protects it. And if the conditioner has silicones it actually helps protect it better. I heard a couple curly hair girls mention that. Since swimming is a popular question
My mom do this for a pretty long time now (she goes to swimming pool 3 times a week for sport), and it works pretty well! :)
Coconut oil will protect your hair best in pools and in the beach, its also like having a little hair treatment at the same time!
You are beautiful inside and out. I've been watching your videos for many years now and you definitely are my curly girl inspiration! You have great positive energy, your family is beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work and efforts making your videos and even letting the outside world know about your personal life. I know your son will get better in time, you guys are doing an amazing job. My cousin is autistic as well. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best!💜
So much information, I never paid any attention to what chlorine does to my skin/hair
Me also
same omg
I agree with you about the chlorine pools. I never ever swim in public chlorine pools, because of what I know about them as well only salt water pools.

I see you in the ad for Shea moisture 👀 I was like that's my homegirl Alba! 😂
Haha yes that's me! Thanks honey!!!!
I use your curly routines since 2 years now, and I must say : thank you so much
That's a good one, the sunscreen spray for hair protection I'll def be trying that. Btw you're so beautiful !
How do you keep your hair curly overnight? Is it wrapped? I don't have a lot of time to get ready in the morning and need a way to maintain curls and kee it professional for work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
I wish I had your hair texture, it's gorgeous!
I literally watch every single video you release, I like them all, you have helped a lot on doing my natural hair.
I was born in the Dominican Republic also and growing up my mom as always straightened my hair either with rollers or the flat iron and I've never seen my Heath curls but knowing you were also born in the Dominican Republic I feel much better because I can final see how people from the Dominican really have their hair
My daughter has curly hair and your tips have been a life-saver!

I can never get tired of them even if you post a curly hair video every single day. And the weird part is I don't even have a hair type like yours.
Awww that's so sweet of you! Thanks so much for watching me regardless of your hair type :)
I totally agree about the chlorine.Some pools are salt water rare but .....GREAT information!
Totally agree about the pools! Its crazy how many chemicals we let our bodies come in contact with just because we didn't have the knowledge before.
Right on. Especially as women, we wake up applying crap and end our day with crap in products too. Men do also but we're 90% more toxic than they are due to all the products we use.
+SunKissAlba Exactly! I love detoxing my body to get some of the chemicals out. Bentonite is my go to detox!
I do agree with Alba and avoiding pools with chlorine. I avoid them A LOT! However, if you are going to a water park or there's a pool party and you dont want to be left out. I would suggest taking a regular conditioner that you trust and slathering it all over your hair. Comb through and if your hair is long enough put it in a high braided ponytail or a high bun.

I've only done this twice because i try to avoid pools, but I do cherish this tip if I'm going.
OMG I needed this video I was literally just thinking how I'm going to protect my hair this summer since I'm a new natural 😭
Your makeup is so glowy and gorgeous in this video!!! Whatever highlight your wearing...its awesome!!!
Henna mask is amazing for the summer time!! It builds a protective layer over your hair strands which basically blocks the sun from hitting your hair. I use it once a month!
Hi Alba, do you have any cheaper alternatives to shea moisture ? I'm a teen and I don't receive a lot of money to be able to afford expensive products perhaps you have a few from before you went organic ? Thanks x
Very informative articles about the sunscreen and chlorinated (and pee) water. Thanks for sharing! I had NO IDEA about any of that stuff!
Yassss!!! You are seriously too pretty! And your hair is to die for! I remember a few years ago when you used to straighten it all the time and what a difference! Your hair is just perfect now! #beautiful
do you think you could do a video on dandruff in curly hair? i dont know if you have any experience with dry scalp but i have dealt with it my whole life and am getting real sick of it
I definitely need to try some of these out especially since I'm wearing my hear out more this summer instead of keeping it in protective styles!
I'm trying to get my curls right for the summer so I will be taking these tips for sure
Can you explain how to make the Rosemary water spritz and how you use it/store it? Thanks! I went natural because of you! My life is so much easier and my hair getting healthier....You inspire us curly girls :)
you are the most gorgeous blogger here and you hair inspire me!!!i hope to grow my like yours
Great tips. I co wash as well and also keep my hair moisturized by using a braid sheen spray or sheen nectar.
So true about pools! I don't do chlorinated pools either!
I love all of the products you used in this video
YES YES YES! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIPS I WAS LOOKING FOR A SUN CARE HAIR ROUTINE. LOVE SHEA MOISTURE BUT I DONT BELIEVE I HAVE USED ANY OF THEIR HAIR PRODUCTS SO I WILL BE TRYING SOME OF THE PRODUCTS U SHOWED. THANKS AGAIN LOVE! IM EXCITED HAHA
I want your curls
i love all your tips and info. my hair has become so much more healthier since warching you.
What about humid proofing your curly hair?! I live in Florida and it's SUPER humid out here so what do you recommend to humid proof your curls/waves?
Well my initial thought around this hair routine I showed is that it's worked for me through all summer weather. By summer proof hair routine I mean it'll lock your hair in place no matter what summer brings. I've coated my hair with 3 different layers of moisture and used a gel as my last step that includes slip with our stiffness. This 3 step application works on humidity as well. That's what it's meant for. Have you tried the 3 layers of product process? Try it first and see the difference :)
ouidad has a heat and humidity gel that's amazing
I use Eco styler gel when it gets up to 40 degrees and it stays in tact without frizz
Before swimming, I part my daughter's type 3c curly hair into large sections and twist or braid with a product that contains shea butter and bees wax (such as Carol's Daughter Loc Butter). The bees wax coats the hair shaft well and doesn't allow the water to penetrate that deeply. My daughter swam every day for a week and her haor was undamaged and not dried out.

GIRL! IT LOOKS GORGEOUS!
Can you please post eco-friendly nail polishes, I'm curious. Your nails always look healthy!
Great tips! specially the spray sunscreen. Thank you for sharing with us
can you do a video on stopping major hair shedding please and tips on growing thicker hair.
I spray a hear protecting spray that's mentioned for hot tools in my hair when I will be out in the sun for long periods of time.
This is so useful, especially the gym one.
With Chlorine water pool, I have tried using conditioner before jumping into the pool and it has worked out OK for me.
Hope it helps!

It makes sense, one of my friend has been having throat infection ever since she started learning swimming (in a public pool). Thanks a tonne!! Now, she can get a solution of the same.
the Jane Carter Solution has a leave in conditioner that acts as a heat protectant from heat styling and sun damage.
alba your hair is so long and beautiful!
Thanks for the tips Alba! They are big help because I didn't know how to really take care of my hair during summer time. By the way you have such beautiful and lovely curly hair :)

Hi alba! Your hair is gorgeous, just had to say that before I move on . My question is do you know any fellow natural hair TH-camrs with a mix of 3b and 3c hair(I'm puerto rican & jamacian so things get tricky)? Although your vids are very informative , I can't always use the products and routines you show. I'm at a loss about what products I should use for the summer.
Ur skin colour is soo beautiful!!
Thank you for the great tips!! I will now go to the beach more often, instead of a pool.

You can always try spraying your crown and hairline with water and running over some leave in with your hands :)
Try flax seed gel. Easy to make at home. Aloe Vera gel may work too.
I love your videos, I always can't wait to watch them.
There's always more to learn from you. Thank you!
i love your vids. Our hair curl types is almost identical, so it's really helpful
Wow! Gorgeous hair & face!!!
Great video i learned a lot i never heard of Co-Wash! Im going to look into these products!!! ❤️
Hey Alba, will you mind doing an updated question and answer?
Hi Alba, love your videos I just subscribed.
I have a liquid leave in conditioner that does very well on my hair and was wondering if I can add rosemary to it also. plus I was wondering if their are any thickening products that I can use to give me more volume in my hair since its slightly thin?

I love this routine but sometimes i haven't any time to let my hair airdrying and i have to blow dry it with a diffusor.Will this routine work if i use a diffusor? I love you Alba.. can you answer me please?
please do a video for best dry oils for natural curly hair girls.
Can you talk about keeping curls fresh second third and fourth day? I spritz the roots like you say and add a syrum but the curls really start falling out second day. Should I be doing something different to them at night or during styling on the later days?

I now subscribed and I'm so happy I found yr channel u have so much information on hair care I love it
Love this Alba! I too have curly hair💗
Thank you for those tips ! I agree that pools are toxic, but some people live far from beaches and rivers and can't afford a trip on holiday, so the only way to swim is to go to the pool :) Especially when you have some backache issues and swimming is the best sport to strengthen your body. Love your video, though. Have you been thinking about coming in Paris some day so you could get to know your french subscribers ?
Are these products mainly for women of color? I have very wavy, curly hair that is course. I've been using Devacurl products for a long time. ..
Absolutely not! :) Shea Moistures campaign "Break The Walls" campaign was really inspired by this perception that it's only for ethnic hair which it is not. Curly hair belongs to many ethnicity background no matter your curl pattern
+Amanda C. Yay!! so happy to hear this. thank you so much.
Hi Alba, Love your videos! I'm so happy I stumbled onto your channel. Quick question: How do you recommend finding out what "direction" my curls curl? I'm guilty of being addicted to my hair dryer.

Can you please do a video on how you wear your hair to bed to preserve your curls for multiple days?!?! Your videos & tips are so helpful 💜
Extraño tus videos en español, sigo toda tu rutina y me encanta, aunque necesito los videos por favor
Hi, SunKissAlba love your videos can you please let me know what brand of spirulina tablets you use. Thank you!
I've watched a lot of your videos and love your step-by-step instructions. I've also tried doing your routines and, if needed, tweaking them a bit. But no matter what I do I still seem to have a good deal of frizz. I've tried using a little more leave-in products, but it makes my hair really hard and crunchy, but if I use too little I still have a lot of fuzz. Besides drinking more water, because I'm a huge aqua addict, do you have any recommendations to help fix it? Especially for the summer. (Though I haven't tried what is in this video yet)
hello Alba,
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on a product to use on your face, in summer when not wearing makeup? something that is light and won't make your skin oily. I live in Arizona so, makeup in summer isn't something that I like to do:) Thanks so much!!
Hi Alba! Quick question. I have very similar hair to yours, but it is super dry! I try to put product in it, but it always gets way too frizzy and big. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
I'm glad I found your channel my natural hair is just like yours but medium length. Also I love your make up looks! And you have beautiful skin. Where are you from? 😊
