@@ellederberryblue8377 clay is NOT a conditioner clay removes impurities in hair and can leave hair dry ASF. Same goes for clay face mask, unless it has other stuff in it of course. A clay and acv mask is meant to take everything out the hair.
the fact that you used affordable and accessible products are my favourite part of the video, too many people showing us great results with products we cant afford or even access.
So when is it best to apply colour as I have grey hair and I would like to cover it up with brown colour. Pls advise. Also I have fine brown natural hair, will this hydrating treatment thin out my hair?
@heartmsp8354 Thank you so much for your response. Happy to hear it will give my fine hair more strength. I'm excited and can't wait to try it. My hair is naturally brown but I have some grey hair which I would like to cover up by dying it brown At what point should I apply colour. Also what dye would be compatible with this MH ? something herbal or what? Also does MH make the hair grow? If not, can I also apply growth treatment while doing MH😊
As a German hairstylist for 11 years, I guess it’s because of the massive amount of acid you put in your hair. It’s straightens the cuticles. That’s means it’s actually like a anti frizz treatment and pleeeease be careful with the vinegar because it’s to much acid for the hair and if you use it to often your hair can over process of it.
@@Nayanzeka you can use acv at least once a week, black hair can handle the acidity. I use it for my hair and my daughters. Quick tip, please only receive hair advice from people with the same hair as yours
Decided to give this a try. My hair felt so amazing: soft, no tangles (it was pretty tangled before I applied the clay), curls are popping (they never popped like this before ever). I applied it last night and braided my hair. I'll see how it looks when I take out the braids in a week. Made a mistake of applying the leftover clay on my face because I saw someone on TH-cam saying it's good. My face was burning and became super red. I looked like I put a red mask on when I washed it off. I suspect it was the ACV that I was reacting to. Never making that mistake again.
I use this clay on my face but mix it with coconut oil or water. Once it's dry I use a warm cloth place it on my face which makes the clay soft and I can gently wash it off.
I am a licensed cosmetologist and I will still say everyone’s hair and skin reacts different. But in my experience using the ACV with the clay more than once a month for me causes my own hair to dry out and it thrives when I only use it once per month. It doesn’t seem to show any obvious or direct negative effect to my skin. But like I said all are different as far as reaction & results.
?? Negative effects on your skin? I don't understand why you'd think that. Way before hair it has and is used as a face and body mask. It makes the skin baby soft and changes the texture making u look younger. I started using it in 1999 on my face, and never looked back. My X husband and friends all benefited as well and results are instantaneous !
@@Nayanzeka life saver!!✊🏾 All my hair struggles ...I wear mostly protective styles so yes not too often this use But It Werks!!!!!! Used clay on my skin plenty but luv this on my 4c hair
The acidity in the vinegar restores the ph balance, that's where the curl definition comes from. I relaxed my hair once and used a mayo mix for a condition right after and my hair went back curly because of the vinegar in the mayo 🤦🏾♀️
I tried this method a couple of years ago. I was praying it wouldn’t break my hair off. It did not. My hair was so defined and soft. My hair never looked so good! However, this method is not something I would do often because of the many steps and the possibility of it drying out my hair over time. Just my experience. Oh, and thanks for the great video. Your hair is popping!
@@Nayanzeka I did it every week, and my hair was flourishing... Got lazy and switched my motions DC to Aussie and cut out the QH cholesterol.... My hair is NOT the same anymore, thank you for reminding me, I need cholesterol lol
Awesome result! Bentonite/ montmorillonite clay is amazing for clarifying hair, removing silicones and hydrating hair. One suggestion, use the clay mask after your shampoo and before your deep conditioner. Conditioning and then using the mask is backwards because all the nutrients you're adding will be stripped by the clay. Alternatively you can use the clay as a pre-poo but the curls will lose definition throughout the process..
@Nya Nzeka BE CAREFUL WITH THIS METHOD! I used it for a year and my hair became severely damaged! I’m already low /medium density and I noticed the density of my hair disappearing. Yes my curls were popping but I had zero volume. My hair also did not grow a lot during that time. It took another year for my hair to go back to growing but my density remained sparse. I also noticed a lot of ladies who were making youtube videos and following the max hydration faithfully, stopped doing it. Even the original creator pinkatube has never done follow up videos and dubaidee4c completely stopped vlogs and making video. She actually used to do tutorials on max hydration
I'm guessing that is the apple cider vinegar and not the clay. ACV is very acidic, more acidic than the general PH of hair. Clay has been used by many African cultures across the continent in both hair and skin without adverse effects. I had my doubts about this method because of the ACV
YES to starting with wet hair! The water is the humectant you want to absorb, and the oil is the sealant. You can also add more water with the conditioner. Adds slip that makes combing easier. Glorious hair!
Awesome defination. Clay will define the hair because it clarifies the hair by removing all of the build up from product, however, according to your hair type, clay will also cause the hair to become dry, brittle and cause breakage.
Hi Naya, don’t worry about your “English”You have such a good energy. I did enjoy your video. I have been using Rhassoul Clay for years, and it is great for my hair.
You and your hair are sooo gorgeous! I finally found someone w hair that kinda looks & behaves similarly to mine. I love your spirit, thank you for sharing your experience!!
Just a word of caution. If you have high porosity hair, bentonite clay can be super harsh on the hair because of it's ability to draw out water. It's extremely clarifying. For more of a conditioning clay mask, try rhassoul clay or kaolin clay. First step should be your mask (look at this step as your pre poo) and then after allowing the mask to work it's magic (20-40 mins) wash and deep condition the hair.
@@chinyelunwaokafor2187 High-porosity hair means that the cuticle has large gaps allowing moisture to enter easily, but, the hair is unable to retain the moisture that is able to penetrate the hair. High porosity hair's cuticle scales are always lifted (open) and low porosity hair's cuticle scales are closed right. Hope this helps.
Hey there -- if you can get citric acid (it's a white powder that's often sold in the canning aisle in American stores), you can add it to water to get the same effect as the vinegar without the smell :)
Yes I have tried this too, but I didn't go through all those processes, I just shampooed my hair, after that, I went ahead and applied the mask, it always define my coils anytime I applied it
Go easy on the acid, I totally agree with Lara Marvelous. ALSO I agree with you on the clay max. I used it for quite a while. It really does cleanse as well as leave the hair still very moisturised. I would recommend using the clay max with aloe vera instead as a cleanser. The use banana mixed with aloe vera and amla or shikhaikhai (jesus.... whats the spelling) . Ayurivedic oils and herbs work wonders for afro hair. Also embrace hot oil treatments. Keep your hair strong and moisturised to retain length and health of the hair....
I can't wait to try this, I just found out I'm Nigerian through Ancestry, my mom and siblings all different names but came back the same...I once went natural and my hair is similar to yours, now I will find the products and try my hair, so exciting
Just to be clear, there's nothing wrong with the before picture when her hair is fluffy. In that state it does styles that hair can't when it's weighed down or clumped with products.
No, you didn't say there was anything wrong with the first pic... however, many get stuck on feeling like "defined" curls are the ultimate or only style goal and ignore the unique and beautiful styles their hair can do when curls are not "defined". So this comment is for others watching who get the wrong impression 🙂
You have beautiful hair naturally. This doesn't define curls for me because my afro hair type doesn't have such curls to define. However this process makes my hair nice and soft. And prepares my hair for twisting and gorgeous twist outs. X
UM YES THANK YOU! I've been having so much trouble with my hair and just don't know what to do to moisturize it so this might just be the thing that saves me
I love the part when you rinsed out the ACV. I remember the 1st time I used it. The smell (just like you said) is horrible & yes, it stings a bit too! 😂🤣😂 However, the results from using ACV with a deep conditioner that has 1 or 2 teaspoons of marshmallow root powder in it...will give your hair the same results. Same results, but with less steps.
I will never forget the time I did Indian Healing Clay and ACV and then a leave in. Then I used a hydrating gel and my curls were so popping. I just let my hair air dry...the coils were perfect and no frizz.
oh wayment, I need to try this! My hair is the same texture and pattern and I suffer from frizz and dryness. Loved the video sis and thank you for sharing! Your hair is sooooo beautiful!
I've done a Max Hydration Method with a Cherry Lola Caramel Treatment in my 4C hair about six years ago. It looked and felt very good for about six months. Then it became hard, dry, and thin before one year. Eventually, I cut it off. Some of your products and process are different. I will continue to follow you to see your results.
4c hair is so versatile but it's also fragile. My observation is that most processes which involve repeated use of chemicals or steps to bring about a significant change in its appearance, is likely going to result in damage over time. Dassit🤷🏾♀️
@@TheMiss600 I reckon it's the ingredients. I rotate, my protein, moisture and Olaplex. I rotate and limit my sulfate, clarifying, non-sulfate, Co-wash and chelating. I rotate and limit my PVP/Acyrlates, petroleum, oils and silicones. My clay mask is made my my trichologists so it is properly balanced to be used once a week without overloading and damaging the scalp or the hair. I listen to my hair every week because I wash every week. If my hair needs more moisture, I'm not going to give it clay or protein even if I'm scheduled for that on that wash day. I write in my diary what I did when so I can keep track. I buy my products by reading the ingredients list every time because companies can change the formulations. You really need to know what the ingredients are going to do to your hair and scalp especially the first 10 ingredients. For example if my hair needs a moisture deep conditioner, I actually look for a strong moisturising conditioning agent in the first 5 ingredients instead of lots of exotic oils. My hair responds better to conditioning agents like Behentrimonium methosulfate than it does to oils. Oils however to help in sealing and smoothing my ends and detangling. It just depends on what I need daily or on that weekly wash day. I know this because I kept a hair diary for the first 5 years of being natural to learn how my hair responds to all the new products I was trying.
I did the MHM maybe 6 or 7 years ago, it was a 5 days process. 1. Mask 2. ACV wash 3. Conditionner 4. Clay 5. Gel Il did helped my 4C hair being super defined. I did the method 6 months after. For the last 5 years I've been cutting my hair on the regular and the MHM became part of my weekly/bi-monthly routine. Hair still well defined to this day. The only issue for me is my hair is so curly now it tends to tangle a lot cause my curls are too tight.
@@Nayanzeka The whole method should be done for 3 to 6 days. I do the process one time. Weekly or bimonthly: prepoo, shampoo, (clay mask maybe every two month), conditionner. It's a very common routine.
Stumbled upon this method on TH-cam last month... Didn't use the clay and the leave in conditioner but the results were still amazing!!!!!... Now ama use the clay and leave in and see the difference... This method makes a difference for us 4Ds with low porosity
Been doing this method for about 7-8yrs it's called d Cherry Lola treatment because she came up with it and this is just d last lart of it. An even shorter version than this is to use a hand mixer. Mix the clay with a spatula or spoon so that the clay is wet and does not fly everywhere and what u mix it in is water first once moistened mix in ur conditioner use as much clay or condition in d mix to get the consistency right no measurements needed. U want to replicate conditioner consistency. Once it's wet u use d mixer and it becomes so creamy and isn't messy to use, no lumps and nonsense. That way u do the clay and conditioner treatment in 1 and because ur making a lot u can store it in the tub and it won't go bad because the method is suppose to be done for 7 days but I've mixed batches that last months. Even if d clay gets hard u just use some water to rehydrate and go into d jar with 1 leg attached to the hand mixer. I know they say don't use metal but I have not found or seen where it affects anything. It's as easy as that. Wash ur hair, rinse with the vinegar then use d mix. If u do it d traditional way its too many steps and too time consuming. I usually wash my hair in the night and sleep with the clay mix in my hair. Plastic cap and a baby receiver blanket because it's cotton, absorbs if needs be and won't slip off like a silk scarf or satin bonnet. U ain't gotta have a baby to make use of a receiver for hair purposes. I just buy a pack on Amazon. When i sleep with the mixture on my hair I don't need to do the method for 7 days I can do 3 or 4. To maintain u don't need to do the entire act rinse and all that u just need to deep condition with the mixture midweek which is a Wednesday for me. I just cowash my hair and slap on d mixture, rinse in d morning cause I don't like sitting under a dryer so I let my body heat do the job to deep condition.
@@NM-en3fl Ur hair looks OK when u do it once but for ur hair to reach maximum hydration its recommended u do the steps for 7 days, because I do an overnight deep condition with my clay n conditioner mix I achieve maximum hydration in less than 7 days. When u reach maximum hydration ur hair is popping.
@@uniquelyb7841 Definately the clay is just soil from the earth, no chemicals and conditioner is safe for kids but just make sure its a moisturizing conditioner and ment for deep conditioning as the ones u just rinse out in 2-3 minutes is formulated different.
Hello Naya, I’m a first timer here but I believe instead of ACV you should have used honey as it has much beneficial effects to the skin and hair. I’m a skincare therapist so I prefer honey when making a mask
Its the leave in conditioner that does the trick. Try washing your hair and just condition it rinse in our after 15mins then add some leave in conditioner and you'll get even more curls.
I remember trying this method on my 4c 4z hair 😆 it was a disaster. OMG! I later got to realize my hair didn't like the ACV. I'm relaxed now but I still do clay washes I mix with water or aloe juice Instead of ACV. Your curls are lovely. ❤️
ACV leave my hair smooth and it feel super clean. I use it one a month to wash my hair as a shampoo. For deep conditioner I USA EVA and leave it for at least 10 minutes under a plastic cap. I used the same clay mask as well one a month not only to my hair (my entire body) for an hour. I don't use leaving conditioner it give me dandruff. Weekly usually Sunday I use tea tree oil after ten minutes I apply aloe Vera juice leave it for half an hour. Then shampoo deep conditioner and use flat seeds as a gel. I apply this gel every other day specifically if I will do exercise (help my head to keep it cool plus it help my hair grow like crazy. I cut my hair every 6 week and do a deep cut (6+ inches twice a year)
This is been around a decade but the reason you don't hear about it is because hydration fatigue is v real and you run the risk of mass breakage in the long-term
Yes I have tried this Indian clay mix and it really works. I tried it a couple years ago, can't believe the result I was just like you blown away. Oh yeah I just ran across your channel, if I had ran across your channel a couple years ago I would have told you a long time ago. Your hair is going to stay like that. Enjoy your video very informative hope you're having an amazing day. One love
I used to do the maximum hydration method, and whilst i loved it, it made my hair become light brownish colour! I think its great for me to do it as a treat (the vinegar) not too often. But bentonite clay is fantastic for restoring moisture and curls! I would do the DC AFTER the clay mask as it is a shampoo replacement/cleanser; The clay can be very drying
Randomly came across this video a few days ago and you made me order the clay! lol Trying this method in the next couple of days. Your hair came out so gooood!
This looks sooooo good! Yea ima try this out! I tried it before but I deep conditioned after the clay mask instead of before. The results still came out the same! Also I love your energy! Subscribing for sure
YASSSSS. I'm def going to be trying this next wash day eeeep :) But instead of the clay mask I'll be using henna+fenugreek+amla powder mask (on an ayurvedic hair journey!!)
Back when I first became natural they used to go crazy if you tried this method the natural hair community it was almost like you were getting a perm I don't see anything wrong with it it's beautiful

Made a mistake of applying the leftover clay on my face because I saw someone on TH-cam saying it's good. My face was burning and became super red. I looked like I put a red mask on when I washed it off.
I suspect it was the ACV that I was reacting to. Never making that mistake again.
Glad you had great results dear and sorry about your face, hope it gets better

Did you mix it with a silver spoon ??
I use this clay on my face but mix it with coconut oil or water. Once it's dry I use a warm cloth place it on my face which makes the clay soft and I can gently wash it off.

No, you didn't say there was anything wrong with the first pic... however, many get stuck on feeling like "defined" curls are the ultimate or only style goal and ignore the unique and beautiful styles their hair can do when curls are not "defined". So this comment is for others watching who get the wrong impression 🙂
This is amazing. A mixture of mayonnaise, eggs, banana and olive oil as deep conditioner gave me similar results. I will try this too. Thank you Naya.
Girl, you're hair is amazing. And I mean before the treatment. So healthy ugh❤️
Thanks hun
That is the most beautiful natural curl that I have ever seen
Thank you so much hun 🤎
You have beautiful hair naturally. This doesn't define curls for me because my afro hair type doesn't have such curls to define. However this process makes my hair nice and soft. And prepares my hair for twisting and gorgeous twist outs. X
Nice 👍👍
UM YES THANK YOU! I've been having so much trouble with my hair and just don't know what to do to moisturize it so this might just be the thing that saves me
👍
I don’t have a virgin hair but i love watching your videos. So much energy you put into your hair care❤️
Thank you so much darling 🤎🤎
What this treatment did for your hair was amazing, gorgeous result and gorgeous hair.
Thanks dear
Yesss those curls are defineeee ! Your hair looks beautiful thanks for this to the point video I'll be trying this
Thank you so much and you should
@@Nayanzeka how long did you leave on the acv rinse ?
I love the part when you rinsed out the ACV. I remember the 1st time I used it. The smell (just like you said) is horrible & yes, it stings a bit too! 😂🤣😂 However, the results from using ACV with a deep conditioner that has 1 or 2 teaspoons of marshmallow root powder in it...will give your hair the same results. Same results, but with less steps.
I will never forget the time I did Indian Healing Clay and ACV and then a leave in. Then I used a hydrating gel and my curls were so popping. I just let my hair air dry...the coils were perfect and no frizz.
👍
Gonna try this method out now I want juicy curls too 😊 thanks for sharing!!
oh wayment, I need to try this! My hair is the same texture and pattern and I suffer from frizz and dryness. Loved the video sis and thank you for sharing! Your hair is sooooo beautiful!
You are so pretty! look like a model. Your curls turned out so defined!
Thank you so much 😊
I've done a Max Hydration Method with a Cherry Lola Caramel Treatment in my 4C hair about six years ago. It looked and felt very good for about six months. Then it became hard, dry, and thin before one year. Eventually, I cut it off. Some of your products and process are different. I will continue to follow you to see your results.
your right ive seen alot of 4c ytbers that have done wash and gos long term and their hair does thin out really badly . i wonder why that happens
I think MHM is only a temporary method. I only use this method when I need a moisture boost.
Definitely don't overuse apple cider vinegar and/or clay.
4c hair is so versatile but it's also fragile. My observation is that most processes which involve repeated use of chemicals or steps to bring about a significant change in its appearance, is likely going to result in damage over time. Dassit🤷🏾♀️
@@TheMiss600 I reckon it's the ingredients. I rotate, my protein, moisture and Olaplex. I rotate and limit my sulfate, clarifying, non-sulfate, Co-wash and chelating. I rotate and limit my PVP/Acyrlates, petroleum, oils and silicones. My clay mask is made my my trichologists so it is properly balanced to be used once a week without overloading and damaging the scalp or the hair. I listen to my hair every week because I wash every week. If my hair needs more moisture, I'm not going to give it clay or protein even if I'm scheduled for that on that wash day. I write in my diary what I did when so I can keep track. I buy my products by reading the ingredients list every time because companies can change the formulations. You really need to know what the ingredients are going to do to your hair and scalp especially the first 10 ingredients. For example if my hair needs a moisture deep conditioner, I actually look for a strong moisturising conditioning agent in the first 5 ingredients instead of lots of exotic oils. My hair responds better to conditioning agents like Behentrimonium methosulfate than it does to oils. Oils however to help in sealing and smoothing my ends and detangling. It just depends on what I need daily or on that weekly wash day. I know this because I kept a hair diary for the first 5 years of being natural to learn how my hair responds to all the new products I was trying.
YOUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL !! 😍 YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL !! 😍 ACCENT IS BEAUTIFUL !! 😍😍 YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN !! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much 🤎🤎🤎
I will be trying this method to get my curls back!! Love your accent!!
Thank you so much
🎉 I'm a new subscriber from Maryland 🎉 amazing video god bless you and continue to be blessed and amazing.🎉
I did the MHM maybe 6 or 7 years ago, it was a 5 days process.
1. Mask 2. ACV wash 3. Conditionner 4. Clay 5. Gel
Il did helped my 4C hair being super defined. I did the method 6 months after.
For the last 5 years I've been cutting my hair on the regular and the MHM became part of my weekly/bi-monthly routine. Hair still well defined to this day. The only issue for me is my hair is so curly now it tends to tangle a lot cause my curls are too tight.
Should be done just one or twice a year
@@Nayanzeka The whole method should be done for 3 to 6 days. I do the process one time. Weekly or bimonthly: prepoo, shampoo, (clay mask maybe every two month), conditionner. It's a very common routine.
So you did one step everyday?
@@therestorationcircleintlps760 I do the whole process every 2 or 3 weeks on washdays. But I use a clarifying shampoo instead of ACV.
The Indian Clay will cause defined curls at all times, even without the rest of the steps.
Both AVC and Clay define curl patterns and clarify hair. Nice work.
👍
Your hair looks beautiful even before you started.
I will definitely try this method out. I do suffer from frizz and extreme shrinkage. Love your video ♥️♥️
You should dear, and thanks 🤎
Stumbled upon this method on TH-cam last month... Didn't use the clay and the leave in conditioner but the results were still amazing!!!!!... Now ama use the clay and leave in and see the difference... This method makes a difference for us 4Ds with low porosity
Yes it does
your hair looks amazing, but i’m obsessed with your accent 👌🏻
Thank you so much 🤎🤎
Honestly your hair looked really conditioning before you started. Looks gorgeous.
BRAVO Naya!!! Tried the ACV but sister WHEN IT GETS INTO YOUR EYES!!! 😰😰
Lol it actually did, and I danced😂
This looks great, actually!! I’m still growing out my hair, but definitely am considering wearing my hair curly once it’s long enough!!❤
Methods like these are best used on low porosity hair
Lovely head of hair with volume.Thx for this video.Blessings.👍🥰💕
Loved the voice over!! This was beautiful! Imma have to try this!!!
Thank you so much
Your pronunciation is just fine 😊
# You Are Enough ❤
Been doing this method for about 7-8yrs it's called d Cherry Lola treatment because she came up with it and this is just d last lart of it. An even shorter version than this is to use a hand mixer. Mix the clay with a spatula or spoon so that the clay is wet and does not fly everywhere and what u mix it in is water first once moistened mix in ur conditioner use as much clay or condition in d mix to get the consistency right no measurements needed. U want to replicate conditioner consistency. Once it's wet u use d mixer and it becomes so creamy and isn't messy to use, no lumps and nonsense. That way u do the clay and conditioner treatment in 1 and because ur making a lot u can store it in the tub and it won't go bad because the method is suppose to be done for 7 days but I've mixed batches that last months. Even if d clay gets hard u just use some water to rehydrate and go into d jar with 1 leg attached to the hand mixer. I know they say don't use metal but I have not found or seen where it affects anything. It's as easy as that. Wash ur hair, rinse with the vinegar then use d mix. If u do it d traditional way its too many steps and too time consuming. I usually wash my hair in the night and sleep with the clay mix in my hair. Plastic cap and a baby receiver blanket because it's cotton, absorbs if needs be and won't slip off like a silk scarf or satin bonnet. U ain't gotta have a baby to make use of a receiver for hair purposes. I just buy a pack on Amazon. When i sleep with the mixture on my hair I don't need to do the method for 7 days I can do 3 or 4. To maintain u don't need to do the entire act rinse and all that u just need to deep condition with the mixture midweek which is a Wednesday for me. I just cowash my hair and slap on d mixture, rinse in d morning cause I don't like sitting under a dryer so I let my body heat do the job to deep condition.
Sorry I’m new to this method, what do you mean it has to be done 7 days.
@@NM-en3fl Ur hair looks OK when u do it once but for ur hair to reach maximum hydration its recommended u do the steps for 7 days, because I do an overnight deep condition with my clay n conditioner mix I achieve maximum hydration in less than 7 days. When u reach maximum hydration ur hair is popping.
You should make a video of this process...also can you use on toddlers and kids?
@@uniquelyb7841 Definately the clay is just soil from the earth, no chemicals and conditioner is safe for kids but just make sure its a moisturizing conditioner and ment for deep conditioning as the ones u just rinse out in 2-3 minutes is formulated different.
@@empressswiss2080 Thank you!
Oh wow.. The coils are AMAZING. I will be trying these products and I have subscribed.. Love it
Hey Naya 😊
Your hair was already Beautiful, but the process you've tried really defined your curls. Hava a peaceful & wonderful day❣
Thank you so much
@@Nayanzeka You're very welcome 😊
Absolutely beautiful hair you did an amazing job thanks for sharing
Hello Naya, I’m a first timer here but I believe instead of ACV you should have used honey as it has much beneficial effects to the skin and hair. I’m a skincare therapist so I prefer honey when making a mask
So do you just mix your clay with only honey and water?
Your voice is so beautiful and so is your hair!
Thank you so much
Your hair looks soft and beautiful
It is thanks 🤎
That was amazing I love your hair. I'll try ot soon. I'm your new friend
Girlllll...we need a wash and go next😜 the definition is popping
Now that you said it, I should try that out, I have never attempted it
I used to do this method back in 2014. Absolutely loved it. Your hair looks beautiful!!
OMG girl!!! You are so beautiful, your hair looks fantastic and you are so funny and a great narrator 💗💗💗💗
Awwwww thank you so much hun
Its the leave in conditioner that does the trick. Try washing your hair and just condition it rinse in our after 15mins then add some leave in conditioner and you'll get even more curls.
I remember trying this method on my 4c 4z hair 😆 it was a disaster. OMG!
I later got to realize my hair didn't like the ACV. I'm relaxed now but I still do clay washes I mix with water or aloe juice Instead of ACV.
Your curls are lovely. ❤️
Sorry about that dear, thank you very much
Does your coils still pop
Definitely do not over use ACV or clay.
Your video is so detailed for this method. Thank you 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I did attempt it, but I never completed it
ACV leave my hair smooth and it feel super clean. I use it one a month to wash my hair as a shampoo.
For deep conditioner I USA EVA and leave it for at least 10 minutes under a plastic cap.
I used the same clay mask as well one a month not only to my hair (my entire body) for an hour.
I don't use leaving conditioner it give me dandruff.
Weekly usually Sunday I use tea tree oil after ten minutes I apply aloe Vera juice leave it for half an hour. Then shampoo deep conditioner and use flat seeds as a gel. I apply this gel every other day specifically if I will do exercise (help my head to keep it cool plus it help my hair grow like crazy.
I cut my hair every 6 week and do a deep cut (6+ inches twice a year)
Wow you natural hair game is strong, love it amazing 👍👍
What is EVA? Just me
@@donzyriv8345 is a deep conditioner brand
@@Nayanzeka yeah I been natural since 2009. After spending 8 year of chemical straight hair. I damage it with color
@@donzyriv8345 my apologies I wrote the name wrong is UNA is a intensive protein treatment
YOUR skin Is SO radiant!!! 💜❤️💜 YOUR Hair Is 💯💯💯!!!! Love it!
Thanks hun
Your hair looks beautiful!
Thank you so much 🤎
I ❤ the way you say water ❤ you have a new subscriber I will try it tomorrow thank you !!!!
Next time do the clay masque before the deep conditioner.
👍
Wow, AMAZING,just amazing,and you're so beautiful with your hair & accent,much love 🙏
Thank you so much hun 🤎
@@Nayanzeka No,thank YOU for this very informative video,I can't wait until my products arrive so I can try it
Bomb hydration girl !!!😍😍😍
I know right, love it
Pls the clove Water is really working. Thanks my dear
This is been around a decade but the reason you don't hear about it is because hydration fatigue is v real and you run the risk of mass breakage in the long-term
Yes I have tried this Indian clay mix and it really works. I tried it a couple years ago, can't believe the result I was just like you blown away. Oh yeah I just ran across your channel, if I had ran across your channel a couple years ago I would have told you a long time ago. Your hair is going to stay like that. Enjoy your video very informative hope you're having an amazing day. One love
Thanks you so much
How long do the curls last though? I’d want to do this once a week to maintain the elongated curls look
I used to do the maximum hydration method, and whilst i loved it, it made my hair become light brownish colour! I think its great for me to do it as a treat (the vinegar) not too often. But bentonite clay is fantastic for restoring moisture and curls! I would do the DC AFTER the clay mask as it is a shampoo replacement/cleanser; The clay can be very drying
Randomly came across this video a few days ago and you made me order the clay! lol Trying this method in the next couple of days. Your hair came out so gooood!
Thank you so much
Her hair started off looking so healthy to me ❤❤❤
This looks sooooo good! Yea ima try this out! I tried it before but I deep conditioned after the clay mask instead of before. The results still came out the same! Also I love your energy! Subscribing for sure
You should dear
Thank you so much, welcome to the fam🤎
Your curls are popping!
Thank you so much
YASSSSS. I'm def going to be trying this next wash day eeeep :) But instead of the clay mask I'll be using henna+fenugreek+amla powder mask (on an ayurvedic hair journey!!)
👍
I love how she loves her hair
Back when I first became natural they used to go crazy if you tried this method the natural hair community it was almost like you were getting a perm I don't see anything wrong with it it's beautiful
Oh really, I guess we evolve and learn everyday, there are so many ingredients that people think it bad for the hair, but in reality it’s not.
You are correct, I tried this once on a small section of my hair and it made it so straight, I got scared instantly 😅.
Your hair was beautiful the way it was before, no need to change it.
Thanks
