If I ever tried to wash my hair only with water, my scalp would simply burst out laughing.
sherwood991 Your hair has a sense a of humor. That’s what’s up
This is hilarious! :-D
@@NewBlueTrue did you mean to say human... Because i think that makes this funnier
Lol i only do that to remove the dirt on my hair for that week before wash day cus if I do cowashing every week my hair would punch my scalp lol
TXejas19 TXejas19 I meant to say *humor
One lie is you need millions of products for "Natural"hair.
I think that’s one of the biggest.
true!
I'm fine with silicones, sulfates, and grease. If it works, it works 😅 lol.

Thank you sister friend!
What silicone products do you use?
Been using silicones all my life and my hair is down to my butt my whole life
Right on ✊🏾
A lot influencers chat bollocks just to make videos, they do minimal to no research and feed us wikipedia crap. Always better to learn your hair to know what it likes
Science is good. Myths not so much. Thanks for providing factual info.
on point!
“Washing” your hair with just water and no shampoo seems about as useful as taking a shower with water and no soap!
Both work well. I have tried it for two years.
I use soap on 1 area as needed
Exactly if I use some kind of soap or cleaning product to wash my skin and other areas then why not use it to wash my hair.
Pretty much
JONES That’s what lotion and body moisturizers are for! If you “shower” with no soap, then you’re still dirty!
JONES Go ahead and be dirty if you want. I’m going to take a shower with SOAP every damn day! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ingredient list is so true. I used to work as food technologist, in that role I would create food labels and ingredient list. The companies always had me “edit” the ingredient list to be more appealing to the target customers. So I’m pretty sure the do it in the beauty industry.
Also I started washing my hair with some basic suave shampoo. Deep conditioning with silicone mix conditioner and my hair is at waist length. 4b hair.
Is the Silicone mix natural? How long have you been using those products to get waist length?
doThatGWalk about a year and a half.
@@user-zx1ii7vf2z I know, silicone mix is a brand.
What was your major in college?
Wow this explains what my hair told me years ago. Silicones work really well in my hair & cowashing and and not using shampoo never worked for me ! Thank you
You're welcome!! :-)
Same here .
What silicone products do you use?
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏾👏🏽👏🏿
My other favorite lady!
@NappyFu Tv what your view on silicones
NappyFu I love you lol!!! ❤😊
As a food scientist who took a lot of chemistry courses... THIS is the first video that actually makes sense! Thank you for giving out the scientific explanation!
Since I started using silicones I retained so much length😂
BW Distance your Self u frfr👀👀 shoo say less 😭😭
What silicone products do you use?
Thank you for watching! Please share this video and help me get these truths out!! ❤️
Please expose the rest of the lies!
I love how you say "if something works for you then just keep doing it" cause your hair is unique only you knows what really works and what doesn't
Breh. Somebody on this app was talking about some “wAtEr-wAsHiNg.” These are trying times.
Samantha-M. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
As a current chemistry major, I truly want to say thank you for making this video!
You need a *SURFACTANT* to wash your hair!
and that's on period 👏
Alandria 🗣periodt!!!
Thank you for this video! I've been spreading this information but especially the last one. Extracts are claims ingredients and the real tea is a lot of these companies don't even have any in the actual batch. I love seeing fellow cosmetic formulators and chemists spread correct information. I think I wanna share my experience on my journey to becoming a cosmetic chemist and getting my masters cause its been a long one but I've finally reached my goals
Heyyy fellow STEM!! Share your experience, it matters and it will help others! :-)
Keep rising sis! 🙌🏾👏🏼
Congratulations!!! I don't know you and I'm happy for you. 😁🥳🎉
I love your content! One of your videos about dimethicone inspired me to use a silicone based knock off of chi silk serum in place of my oil in my LOC method in a recent wash day and I have not looked back. My moisture is retained so much better than when I used a regular oil and since I shampoo with a sulfate free shampoo and restyle my wash and go every 3 to 4 days my hair is always manageable now because it never gets dry and crunchy and tangled. Thank you for the sharing the science of healthy, well cared for hair of all textures! You are much appreciated.
Thank you Denise!! I appreciate you! Please share this video :-)
I use Biosilk on top of my leave-in and my hair has never been as moisturized as it is now! My hair LOVES silicone😊
@@Xanthe79 Mine does too! :)
Thank you for this. I have very thin, high porosity hair and I’ve been avoiding all the ingredients the curly hair community says to. My hair just seems to stay dry and tangled and it breaks and I was about to give up hope that I could fix it until I found your videos. I saw that you recommended things with dimethicone and I knew ppl say avoid silicones but I was at my wits end and you seem to know what you’re talking about so I went and bought what you suggested. I’m so grateful to report that I’ve had A LOT less tangles and breaking since I stopped avoiding silicones. Thank you for busting the myths. It’s very needed!!!!
Thank you for clearing up the lies about silicone. I remembered using silicone years ago when I use to relax my hair and my hair loved it. My hair retained so much growth. Now being natural my hair have been at a stagnant length. So you know what I'm going to do, yep purchase what my mane has been thirsting for. 🌞🌞🌞🌬 By the way I love love love your channel😊😊😊
I am waiting for you to launch your natural hair products 🤷🏾♀️
Ikr??!! I'm there for that!
I can't wait but i know when you drop it it will.be on point!
I have always been able to use silicones. I don’t get build up but I also don’t do that “only lather up the scalp” thing that so many curlies do. I wash once a week, but I actually WASH my hair. Then I “squish to condish” and then add oil and then cream so that I replace any lost moisture. I don’t have silicone build up.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing correct info and educating us. This is much needed in the natural hair community
You are a part of my budget next month!!! I can't wait to read your book! Thank YOU for this valuable knowledge!
THANK YOU and God richly bless you! Subcribed!
I've mentioned in another post truths about silicones. Phenyl Trimethicone may be the one that is a little heavy and may leave residue for some people. I find that people are layering one product after another on their hair and it's making it dull, etc. I wash my hair, condition in the shower, rinse, leave my hair wet as possible, spray more water/aloe mix if needed, apply conditioner and then silicones on top. The end. I may experiment here and the (I'm a product junkie too!). I "flow" with whatever my hair wants to do but i am very low maintenance. Natural hair to me is extremely time consuming. WashnGos are too for me. Hth
Thank you dear! The beauty world has so much myths but the myths and lies seem to have exploded in the natural hair community omg! It's bad.
I love a TH-camr that speaks facts backed by science 💯.... New subbie!
I tried no silicones and and sulfate for a year, didn’t work for me went back to my holy grails, I do a ACV rinse every two weeks to remove the silicone. All you need is something clarifying to remove so a clarifying shampoo or ACV or baking soda. Works for me 🤷🏾♀️ my hairs growing fast again.
Bianca Martin what do you use? What are your regimen? If you don't mind me asking.
Gina Lacey I switch it up but I’ll use aussie or shea moisture shampoo sometimes not your mothers, then I’ll condition same brands, then I’ll deep condition my favorites are the shea moisture Jamaican black or the Aussie 3 minute miracle with oil mixed in, leave it in for a hour with a cap on, then I’ll take a shower and do my wash n go, I’ll use the Cantu leave in conditioning cream, then the curl enhancing smoothie, then wetline gel. I usually end up washing my hair twice a week like every 5-6 days so the back half of the week i take out deep conditioner and do everything in the shower. Took me forever to get my regimen and finally be able to do a wash n go but once I started doing everything in the shower and started doing things for my porosity instead of just my curl type I finally got a routine and I’ve been natural for like 6 years 😂
I love how your videos are short and sweet, straight to the point
I love facts.
I am very glad your videos are out there!
Please continue giving up good information and knowledge to those who seek it.
Oh my!! May The truth set us all free! Did not know abt the extracts being listed at/near the bottom of the ingredients lists is scientifically sound! Cheers sis!
What you said about extracts makes sense. It’s like essential oils. You only need a few drops compared to the larger amount of carrier oils that you would use
Come on hair chemistry knowledge 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
Keep me coming! I LOVE hearing this kind of information!!!
I was on the curly girl method for 2.5 solid years. When I put silicone back into my routine, my fairy knots went down by A LOT. I was having to trim so much and so often when I was silicone free. I need the barrier of a cone to keep my strands slippery.
Love cowashing, but I also love my ORS moisturizing sulfate shampoo.
What products have you found to retain moisture?
Thank God for this information! There are so many myths in the natural hair community! I'm also learning with a trichologist from my country DR 🇩🇴✌️
Love that your videos are short and to the point!
Lovvveeeeee this!! . I started buying into the silicone lie. Thank u for clearing up!!!!! Enjoying binge watching your videos to catch up!!
WOW!! More on this topic, PLEASE!! MOST INFORMATIVE!!
I started to use my natural curly hair this year after many years of straight it... And watching a lot of videos of de CGM was so shocking for me, I tried it but it was the most horrible experience that I have had.
I appreciate this kind of videos ❤️
Love your wisdom and knowledge about everything we don't know.
Thanks so much for educating us.
I am not even curly, and I absolutely love your channel. It is so important to provide factual scientific information about any topic
Thank you Kate! ☺️
From now on im only watching your videos and real dermatologists videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks sis. We need your perspective to help break myths and achieve our #besthairlife.
Thanks so much Sharmaine, I'm so glad your educating us. I appreciate it.
You're welcome!! ☺️
She always makes me feel special when she ends her videos off with an "I love you."
Thank you for the scientific breakdown!!
I love your videos!
Hey Hun, I hope you are enjoying your summer so far ☀️
That was very interesting what you said about the ingredients label, thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing the knowledge these natural hair gurus don't wanna talk about! To be honest, all these natural hair products have destroyed my hair over the years and created several dry spots on my scalp. I currently stick to DIY recipes and Doo Gro Grease for my hair, and my natural hair problems have virtually disappeared. Thanks again for your chemistry knowledge and guidance 🥰
Thanks for this video. My hair has always loved silicone and when I started using silicone free products I noticed more hair fall 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Especially for the silicone lie.
People who share the same name call each other "bitso" here in South Africa. So, thank you bitso.
I've noticed that when I run my hair under warm water for a while, it will eventually release the product that's on/in it. I found it quite interesting because I did not expect that to happen. But even then, I wasn't certain whether or not _everything_ was washed off that needed to come off, so I still use shampoo.
Oooh lawd. Let me listen. I'ma new natural girl and just trying to learn. Go head sis. I'm listening. ...
😂😂💁
So glad I found you by accident (natural accident) but with God there are no accidents! I watched one of your videos from way back on you having a relationship with God...Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling. It's hard to find people out there like us. Thanks for sharing. Blessings~
I agree with this woman right here. I do co-wash, but I only do that in between wash days. I have to use a shampoo to get the product buildup and excess oils off of my hair. I tried co-washing as a replacement for shampoo before and I had SO MUCH product buildup that I had to wash my hair in sections about 4 or 5 times before I was able to get everything out. It was a nightmare. Co-wash if fine between washes, but that’s it.
Great Information. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
Wow, I just subscribed and I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you for this video!!
I never really bought the idea that all these things were bad until I changed my shampoo on a whim to a paraben and sulfate free (not sure about silicon) and I can go longer between washes. Totally agree that people should do what works for them, I have just noticed that the simpler and more “natural” the better for me.
Yayyyy! Congrats on the book also.
You answered my question! But I knew it... I just needed to “seal” the deal.
First off your twists look soooo natural!!! 🥰💕
Thank you!! Passion twist girlll!! I love them! :-)
Thank you so much. I love you Scientists!
I thought there were different types or levels of silicones, meaning that some are more difficult to remove than others. The one time I did use a product with silicones my hair felt "off". I went through my products and the only thing that was different was I didn't catch the silicone listed on my conditioner. I haven't used them in over a year now. So do I use them or not?
I didn't know about the extracts wow.
Very informative video 😍
Thank you for this information! Please keep sharing your knowledge. 😊
Thank you Latoya! :-)
Thank you pls bring more truth. Awesome sauce.
You’re awesome!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Good information I always used hair products with silicones and sulfate they never bothered my hair
Wow this was very helpful and factual! Great video! 👍🏾
Your videos are sooo educational and eye opening
Please make this into a series!!!
I think I will! : )
glad this was recommended to me, helped a lot.
I love the science facts dear.....looking forward to working with you in future.
The water only method is exactly that...water only.
You’re not supposed to keep putting oils/conditioners or whatever on your hair...just water. If someone does that, I don’t see why they’d need a surfactant.
It’s not something I’d do but to each their own.
Great vid💜👍🏾
T.K. Sweeney there is dust and dirt in the air which deposits on the hair. Grease from cooking gets aerosolized and deposits on the hair. Plus our scalp secretes oil. You need a surfactant to remove this gunk.
One myth about not using hairdress/pomade proved wrong for me. I started using it again and my hair is so bomb. I will never stop using it again, all the gimmicky products aren't needed for me.
patrice dixon I know one woman who has used pomade for years and her hair looks great! I was blown away when she told me
Thank you for the facts. Very helpful.
I've been looking at your videos. They're amazing! What shampoo would you recommend for low porosity hair? I saw the conditioner you recommended!
Where have you been? I'm loving this. My son is a STEM also. I'm buying book.
What are your thoughts on African black soap or a diluted soap as how that reacts with the hair? Even soapnuts, soap root or other plants that contain lots of saponins. Instead of surfactants? I just have a lot of sensitivities and i know others as well who react badly to surfactants or man made synthetic cleansers. Would love to hear you speak more on the chemistry of what those natural plants do to hair. Totally agree that water alone is not enough to cleanse, great content thank you!
Surfactants are chemical compounds that decrease the surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may function as emulsifiers, wetting agents, detergents, foaming agents, or dispersants.
wetting agent meaning just water can help depending on the water
Im very late but i thoroughly enjoyed this video...anything science and hair im in for it!!!!!
Love your videos I have been a faithful sub for years now, what kind of vitamins do you use. I trust you, So i wanted to know what you use.
My hair needs tons of moisture it looks dull and fried with product build up which is why I stopped using products with certain kinds of cones! I rather my hair readily recieve moisture than to have to do a shampoo session to strip away the silicones just to remoisterize. My hair dries out fast I love how it looks remoisterized every 2-3 days!
I went back to grease and haven’t looked back. But maybe I will give the silicones a try. I mean either way we are sealing in moisture not matter if it’s grease or silicones. Right?
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
I appreciate your knowledge.
I use silicone free hair products except from my leave in conditioner.. That's the step I allow silicones in. To get that protective layer. I don't see the point of having silicones in every hair product. But how do I deep cleanse in a good way so the silicones go away? Do I have to use an SLS/SLES shampoo then? Thanks for the video.. It was very informative :)
I always watch the ingredients in my shampoo and foods too they tell the story. I'm sticking to suave shea butter shampoo works okay for me with same conditioner. Do you have a specific shampoo/conditioner you recommend to leave your hair extremely soft and tangle free?
Thank you for the truth
Hi new subbie! I love your channel already! I have a question!!What do you think about rhassoul clay washing??
Would castile soap or some natural shampoo bar made by saponification be enough to remove a silicone such as dimethicone? Or would a clarifying shampoo with a stronger surfactant still be necessary?
I used to diy all my hair products because I was just exhausted of reading labels and not knowing what was gonna work and what might damage my hair. Then I started trying lots of different products and honestly not caring too much about what is it. Now I can't tell you if something has silicone or not. If it adds moisture and gives me slip. I use it. If not, I don't. I think it's best not to follow the "rules" so much and just do what you feel your hair likes
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I look forward to whatever products you come out with to cater to all hair ❤️
@salorchi84
Thank you so much 4 saying all that do I didn't have to. 👍🏽. Everything that glitters ain't gold. Trying to do what "others" do to their hair has never gotten us anywhere . . .only led to problems.
I love your videos and the information you provide. Luckily, I don't believe a half of what is posted on TH-cam about natural half.
Dont even get me started on this topic lmao
Right lol
Is grease really bad for our hair? I love me some blue magic
I know you want her answer, but it isn't. It's non-comedogenic so don't believe the "it clogs your scalp and doesn't allow the hair to grow" mess either. I use grease bc it seals in moisture. My hair thrives bc of it. I have no issue washing it out because I use shampoo.
@@houndstooth89 okay thank you❤
It depends on your hair and scalp. My hair and scalp don't mind mineral oil so I use Sulfur 8 and Dabur Amla Oil on my scalp. I make sure to use a sulfate shampoo to get rid of the build up.
Our mamas used grease on our hair as kids. And unless your mom had no idea what she was doing our hair grew and was healthy for weeks at a time until the next wash day. It's a sealant. Now does that mean. Go crazy and use an entire container..no. but in my experience it doesn't harm the hair just dont use a lot when applying and be sure to throughly wash
The only way I can wash silicones out is with clay. My sulfate shampoo could not remove it all. I generally have noticed a big difference in my hair health and it's ability to retain moisture since going cone free. But I totally agree about needing sulfate shampoo, my hair needs that cleansing silicones or not
Hello. I agree oil and water doesn't mix. I hear from the natural community saying to use water or diy spirtz to dampen the hair for the oils to penetrate during moisturizing. Is this true? Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing and educating me I'm trying sooo hard to grow Heather stronger hair I appreciate u giving the truth, keep it coming thanks 😊😀have a blessed day today in Jesus Christ our Lord GOD and savor JESUS CHRIST bye
