Hey everyone! Thank you for watching and sharing this week's video! To learn more about hair care ingredients and your beautiful natural hair; here is a promo code for the Natural Hair Care Wisdom Flash Cards, use code: "Wisdom10". Here's the link: curlychemistry.com/product/flashcards/
I just wanted to say that low porosity shampoo & conditioner a No. I brought the oil which I like as it smells good too. Whoever the owner is need to run me my money back or just send me two bottles of the oil. I took it to my hairstylist she even was like No. Then I tried later at home. It still was a No and a WHY. 4c low porosity
Hi Tonya! First I wanted to say thank you for this channel and your videos. You, Green Beauty, and WholeElise are pretty much the only hair care TH-camrs I ACTIVELY follow. As I've been watch a few of you videos about oils and grease, a though popped into my head, "What about using lard or tallow on the hair or in recipes?" I know most people gravitate toward plant-based sources, but I'm a believer in using all of an item. If the animal died to feed my family, we should honor it by using all parts of it that we can. In you "Secret Life of Oils" (?) video you mention saturated fats and monounsaturated fats as being good for our hair... if I'm remembering properly. When I looked up lard it was made up of 85% saturated and monounsaturated fats. I also remember using it as a hair grease as a child as well as to treat wounds and stuff. I was just wondering if there is a place for it in hair care too?
1)oil rinsing 2)hair setting 3)regular protein treatments 4)search and destroy method 5)detangle before shampooing preferably during prepoo’ing
Thank u!
Thank you!
👍
Thank you!
Thank u
I will try the oil rinse because my hair strands are too affectionate with each other 😫
I did search and destroy and realized it was hopeless and had to cut it all off. Bottom line- avoid search and destroy because feeling for the knots creates them when your hair is prone to them. I’m happy to have the chance to start over.
I always appreciate the knowledge that you share. I used to get fairy knots all of the time until I started pre pooing my hair with African Pride Pre-poo. It’s a game changer y’all.
Girllll, that prepoo made it into heaven already😂😂
@@latarshablack2808 Right lol 😂
I keep hearing about this prepoo, I need it immediately
I'm right there with you and don't let myself ever runout.
I’ll be looking for it!
Fenugreek gel and coconut oil pre-poo has been a game changer for me!!! Also the tangle teaser brush-or any of the dollar tree dupes is a must have.
Favorite detangling tool…prepoo with African Pride or Mane Choice Pre Poo. The tangles seem to melt away.
Whatt! I gotta check those out! :-)
Yassss that African Pride aloe & coconut pre poo is baeee‼️
@@CurlyChemistry and inexpensive
I know right! African Pride is my favorite prepoo too!
I LOVE African Pride Aloe Vera and Coconut Water Pre Poo! It’s amazing!!!
My hair: EXTREMELY DAMAGED, cuticles lifted and split like barbed wire !!!
4c, high porosity, medium density, fine strands. I prepoo with Anti breakage Blue Magic, oils are not thick enough to shut down my cuticles, small round black shampoo brush from Sally’s, TGIN leaveIn/water. Now Blue Magic grease has my cuticles laid like fine silk!!! My scalp does not like grease🤬, my hair is growing like weeds now and breakage is 90% less!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I get fairy knots ALL THE TIME! Oil rinse 🚿 never heard of that. Ok I’ll try it.
Yes try it! :-)
I tried oil rinsing for the first time on my last hair wash date. It is a game changer. Usually when I finish detangling on side of my hair, the other section is dry and I will have to wet it again. With oil rinsing I didn't have to re-wet my hair again. My hair was soft and easy to manage. I have high porosity 4c strands that loves to wrap around each other. I mixed babassu oil with castor oil.
Isn't oil rinsing basically just the LOC method?
The first person I ever heard talk about oil rinsing was nap85, many years ago.
How do you oil rinse under the shower
In your last video when you mentioned this video on Fairy Knots, my jaw dropped and I started rubbing my hands together like steak was coming my way! Oil rinsing is no joke!!!! that have changed things for me even those godforsaken fairy knots! I will definitely keep following this great advice you give. Thank you for blessing us!! Avocado oil is the best for my high porosity hair and it's healthy for my scalp! Thanks 100 times!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
At this point, I’ve just accepted that they’re part of my hair-I’ve had em my whole life, relaxed and natural. Loose and in protective styles. They temporarily go away when I trim, but that’s about it in my experience.
My daughter gets them fairly often. I can't do oil rinses- I need to put moisturizer before I put oil, or her hair will be so dry. I can't protein treat because her hair is protein sensitive. I don't pre-poo because she has fine strands and I try to detangle as little as popsicle. That leaves me with search and destroy 😓.
I feel you.. single strand knots have made my natural hair hard to enjoy. No matter what I do, they keep coming back. I’ve tried a million different conditioners, I’ve pre-pooed, I deep condition weekly, I wear low manipulation styles…nothing works. I do the search and destroy method and it just takes me so long..it’s depressing. I want to accept them but my hair just breaks wherever the knot forms. I think I’m going to lock my hair because it literally wants to curl together and I’m tired of fighting it. I
Sounds like you need to change your styling techniques and your detangling techniques...
Keeping your ends trimmed makes a big difference also
@@lailaalanna315
I don’t worry myself with them as they don’t prevent me from getting through my routines.
@@meansnas
I don’t enjoy my hair any less because I have them but I’m sorry that’s been your experience. I hope locing gives you the experience you’re looking for.
Aloe gel and a WET brush are my favorite perfect pre-poo! I detangle with the aloe gel and then slap a hair mask on and section my hair before I wash it every 2 weeks.
Oh my! This is EXACTLY what I needed. The last few days I found I have many fairy knots and felt so frustrated! So thank you so much!
I use a detangling brush that looks like the brush version of the comb you showed. I also keep going back to my Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream as my all time favorite detangler. Nothing works better for my hair. I can easily use just my fingers with that and it works fine.
I don't really get fairy knots but I also rarely wear my hear just out and in an afro. I wash every two weeks, blow dry and keep my hair in cornrows for the most part. I detangle dry with oil as I'm taking the cornrows out and that routine has been working really well for me.
That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 2 years and I’ve noticed that I don’t really get fairy knots anymore. I used to spray my hair with water and conditioner after protective style and I think that contributed in my hair getting those knots.
@@halima4355 I agree. I think spraying your hair between washes is unnecessary and just causes more tangling and buildup.
I like to use okra juice to detangle. The slip is amazing!! Any tool can literally go thru my hair when i use okra juice.
Okra is bomb!
Where do you get the okra juice from🤔
@@sugamehoney great, question! @ Phyllis, please share the details 🤗
@@threejeans6084 Get okra slice them and soak in hot water overnight and then strain the water. A quick way is to pour boiling water on it and let it cool, but it won't be as slimy as the overnight one. I hope this helps.
I got thick hair, 4c coily, I am losing a lot of hair to knots. I am desperate. I will try okra . I need help! Do you use it after shampoo? Can you use it without washing it out?
Aloe Gel and Oil has been a gamechanger. I finger detangle, then use a comb if needed.
Hi Maxine~
I have also used fresh aloe vera and oil...it's AMAZING!!! African Pride pre-shampoo has aloe vera in it. I think you might like it. It's my go to when I don't have fresh aloe vera on hand. Literally, melts your hair. 🙂
Thank you for these great tips. Fairy knots for the last year or so have been the bane of my hairsistence!! I started oil rinsing last week, been prepooing and doing routine protein treatments for the last six months...when not in braids (not often). Seeing results already - thicker more moisturizer hair. Thankssss
You've good points and I get where you're going ... I would just tie the "loose ends":
1) define single strand knots first,
2) then causes of the knots ... which automatically ties in with prevention,
3) then, how to resolve the already existing knots.
From the presentation:
1) how does "pre-pooing and detangling" before shampooing prevent the knots (I, would tie this in with the "shampooing technique" thereafter),
2) how do "oil rinses" prevent knots ... doesn't "conditioner" also contain "oil" ... as well as the rest of the "styling products" thereafter,
3) is there no friction at "ends" of "twisted hair" when sleeping ... or on clothes, or when "fluffing" (I, would focus more on position of "ends"),
4) do "protein treatments" resolve "split ends", causes of "split ends", "friction"... and how?
I was never one to put honey on my hair so, I decided to get over my phobia and I melted some honey and shea butter and added it to the henna I was using to condition my hair. My hair is on the thinner side so after I wash it, I have to keep spritzing it with water because it dries out (horribly) before I can finish doing my protective style. Let me tell you!! My hair was so darn moisturized from the honey/shea butter! It was so shiny and healthy looking, and I was able to do all my twist without any spritzing. I didn't have to use anything but my fingers to detangle because it wasn't very tangled at all. Even if I am not going to do a henna, I have decided to add warm honey & shea butter to any conditioner. I couldn't go past a mirror without looking at my hair. I didn't recognize it.
This video was simple, precise, and informative! Just subscribed! Thank you
African pride pre-poo is the best detangler so far and tool is Diane DBB126 it is like a tangle teaser it shape like an egg so it fits in the palms of my hands for easy grip.
Thank you so much... Learned some new methods I will try on my tender-headed long haired daughter. Good information.
I love your channel. I have been watching for several years and I was learn so much from you in 15 or so minutes or less. I have been on the natural journey for about 7 year and I am still learning my hair and improving the process. Was excited to learn about the fairy knots. I will definitely be trying your recommendations. My favorite detangling spray is Oyin, Oh,my glidel. I love this stuff and it works. Im very impressed with it. I also love Oyin Hair Dew cant't say enough about the Hair Dew as well. I use the it as a leave in and I love it.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I will definitely try oil rinse!!
Thank you❤ Your helping me and my hair tremendously
Everything I listen to you I learn so much. thank goodness for curley chemistry .
My fav detangler is my fingers. I can feel the knots and work them out or cut. I also use a steamer to detangle before I wash. Thank you for this info because they are the worst! It’s been better with oil rinsing though.
My fav detangling tool is a wide tooth comb. Love it. Those brushes are ok but takes a longer time for my thick kinky hair. I have to do smaller sections which are time consuming.
Thanks Tonya. For detangling, i majorly use Ambunu for it which has been helpful when detangling is done PATIENTLY. I need be very gentle with my hair lately.
My favorite detangle product is pureology 21 color fanatic multi-tasking spray. It’s been a game changer for me with my 3b - 3c very course hair. I have never done oil rinsing and I am going to watch a video to see how it’s done. I also use my fingers to comb through my hair on my wash day. It’s very slow, but I try to be careful not to break my hair. Thank you for your videos. I love learning new techniques.
I use the Kazmalaje wide tooth comb and the brush for wash day! I really like them. I have the pick too, it's just OK for me.
Thanks for the tips, sending love ❤️ from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for these amazing educational hair videos! My favorite detangler product of course is the Aussie Moist avocado 🥑 condish. Every since u told us to try it, I've been hooked ever since. I tried the vinegar rinse in the shower after shampooing my hair for the 1st time & it made my hair so soft & it defined my curls even more so I'm gonna add this to my wash day routine. May God continue to bless & provide for you 😊
I always used a conditioner with drop of rosemary oil before shampooing. Less breakage and my hair loves it
This is great! I feel like fairy knots have singlehandedly been the restriction of my best hair growth. I do search and destroy a lot probably too much because I don't do the other things on the list as much. I think I will add in the oil rinsing. The My Black is Beautiful line of products has been great for detangling during my wash and conditioning process with a wide tooth comb. Thanks so much!
What I do to prevent fairy knots is too always keep my hair stretched. I never let it shrink. And also when I take down my hair from protective style I don’t wet my hair because I feel like if I wet it or I use conditioner I get those knots instead I coat my hair in oil and take it down. Since I’ve been doing it I’ve noticed less knots. (sorry for my English)
And I also wash my hair in twists
@@halima4355 do you stretch your hair with heat or no heat? I’m going to stretch my hair because I’m trying to retain length this year.
@@janiyahl.9456 yes, I blowdry my hair every time I wash it and then put my hair in cornrows. Make sure to use heat protectant to avoid heat damage
@@halima4355 thank you for replying!😊
Great tips,thank you!!
Wow, wow, wow! Great tips! 🙏🏾
Please please please do a video for grey hair. Love your channel
Finger detangling before shampooing. No products maybe a light water spray if my hair feel super dry but that’s unlikely (for me) because I wash my hair every week. I pull my hair vertically first the in a downward motion to remove my shedded hair. Shampoo and conditioner is definitely easier and quicker. You can also use the pressure of the water to detangle if you don’t want to prepoo or dry detangle. Meaning spend a little more time when you wet your hair prior applying your shampoo and start finger detangling. That would also give your hair time to get more hydration.
The ultimate Tangle teezer is the best along with a wide tooth comb.
Great video on Fairy Knots it’s definitely going to help me on my next wash day. My fav detangling tool is the Felisha Leatherwood detangling brush. Tyfs🥰🥰
Mine too! It's great for blow drying as well.
🔥🔥🔥thanks for the knowledge
Love your videos! Sometimes can you do some hair tutorials as you teach, that would be cool breeze 🌴
My favorite tool has become my fingers I detangel with my fingers before & after shampooing. Works better for me & I feel like I’m getting the shed hairs & less breakage , my hair is retaining length & it’s noticeable.
I detangle my hair weekly with African Pride pre-shampoo and Righteous Root Rx oil. The African Pride pre-shampoo literally melts your hair and makes it a breeze to detangle using my Felicia Heatherewood detangling brush. Then I sit under my hair steamer for 30 minutes or leave it in overnight. This has made my weekly wash day AMAZING!!!!! I don't wrestle with fairy knots. As always Tonya, you blessed us again!!🥰🙏🏾🥰
I try to support Black businesses whenever I can, so I bought the Felicia Leatherwood detangling brush. It works for me, but I never hear people recommend it. I also use the DreamGirls TLC Comb Out treatment as a pre poo
Thank you so much for this amazing video! God bless ❤️
I do literally ALL of these lol thank *God* I'm on the right track; my high porosity hair needs all the help & lubrication they can get! I buy my WET brushes from Marshall's though for like 1/2 the normal price lol HIGHLY recommend!!
Yesss! I LOVE WET brushes, it makes it so easy and quick to get the shed hair out after finger detangling. It’s a bummer though, I can’t use the regular ones because my hair is so thick and dense. I have to use the pro paddle version from Ulta, it has more weight to it.
I like Keracare’s Detangling Spray after I wash and deep conditioner my hair. It is an essential part of my wash day routine.
This couldn't have come at a better time for me. My hair was full of fairy knots and tangles and I just trimmed a generous amount of hair. I really hope they don't come back😭😭
Try the methods and keep me posted! :-)
I always enjoy your videos. So informative and fun while learning. Im still trying to find the best method for detailing. I have the Felicia Leatherwood, but my hair needs to detangled before I use, so I am ordering babassu oil for my pre poo. Im hoping this will be a game changer. Thanks as always for these videos.
And you will.
The Felicia Leatherwood Brush is my favorite. I use African Pride PrePoo.
My favorite product that I detangle with is my Aloe Vera oil that I make and the Garnier Whole Blends Conditioner line because it has Aloe Vera in it. And the The TGIN Miracle Repairx Protective Leave-in conditioner Yes!!! Everything you say is so true. I have already incorporated these methods. Oil rinses are a game changer for me. On your recommendation I started using oil rinses. All winter long I did oil rinses. It moisturized and kept my hair so soft and manageable. Plus it grows the hair as well. I also do a pre-poo every time I was my hair. I notice since doing the oil rinses I don't get any fairy knots. All these tips work. As long as you are consistent with your hair routine. And at night when I set my hair. It's in twist. I just put my hair up and use my silk scarf. Love all of your amazing videos. Thank you for sharing Curly Chemistry! Sending you, Curly Chemistry and everyone here love and light.🥰🥰
I accidentally left a piece of hair out a got 3 fairy knots just from that little piece. Your hair will also split right before the knot as well so be careful.
I'm gonna try one of those split end trimmers as well
My favorites are Oyin’s Oh My Glide and African Pride’s Aloe & Coconut water. First I spray my hair with water mixed with Kinky Curly Knot Today then detangle with a gloved hand. I have fine, coils strands that will tangle and fairy knot because I wear a wash n go 98% of the time.
I use my fingers to detangle my hair/loc and, As soon as water hit my hair it loosen up and become untangled., Thank You sis… you are so informative 💯💕😊
My fav is salon selectives marula magic conditioner and the pantene miracle moisture boost with rose water conditioner
Early happy Friday ❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️🥰💕
Happy Friday! :-)
Happy Friday 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for this.
Could you please do a video explaining the difference between a protein treatment and an Ayurvedic treatment? Thanks.
I like to use first my fingers then a detangling brush.
Its gonna be funny but my fingers are my favorite tool! I love feeling and getting to know my hair because I feel like I have control of every step!
New to your channel! Was wondering if you had any videos on natural hair products without parabens/sulfates/artificial ingredients, specifically How to look for them in the ingredient section of a product? I know some companies tend to hide them in those big words.
Just for me curl peace tender head detangling treatment is my current go-to. SheRea put me onto it
Thank you once again for the info. My favourite detangling method is fresh aloe vera juice and oil as my prepoo. Its a game changer. I found when putting a little exta oil on my ends each night before tucking my twists away for bed, helps me alot with the fairy knots.
Hi Janice, do you sleep with a satin slap or a scarf?
@@kathleenharris8824 Hi Kathleen i put a satin scarf on to set my flat twists as i moisturise every second night and a satin bonnet over that.
@@Janice12436 Thanks.
Detanlger wide tooth comb after some finger detangling, but I find that prepooing with coconut oil first does me a world of good
Homemade oily deep conditioner and my wooden comb. Or crème of nature pre-shampoo from the clay mask line.
Favorite delta going ingredient is marshmallow root
When I wear my hair out I wrap it at night then put a scarf/bonnet & comb my hair out the next day from ends to roots so it won't knot up plus it helps my sebum distribute all over my strands.
Tool: Phillips Flexx detangling brush (aqua & gray)
Ingredient: fresh aloe Vera. Or a DIY concoction!
Thank you for sharing! :-)
Thanks ❤️
Thank you! :-)
Happy I stumbled upon this video. How do you know the split ends? Just started pree poo with olive oil hope to see results

Good afternoon/evening, question about my flashcard order, have the been shipped yet? This is some good info & I do your tips frequently, thanjs
I don't have the luxury of time so, I just section my hair into 4 places and shampoo with the technique I learnt from Afrikanhairgod then use my conditioner to detangle which is extremely slippery and this has helped so far.
I just took 3-4 inches from my hair which has also helped with detangling.
Hair Doc, how have you been?💖
LISTENNNNN, I wanted to send a video request on this very topic and VOILA 😫! We just got through another wash day with my daughter . The fairy knots on long thick natural hair is something else 🤦🏿♀️. I'm VERY patient and she retains length, but we can use some preventative measures to make the process bearable..okay, let me get back to the video 😊, THANK YOU!
I have baby fine hair even in its natural state. I’ve recently begun to experience fairy knots. I think it’s due to neglect. 😔 These tips are very helpful! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for your information. Are these methods applicable for preteen hair care.?
Is it just me or is curly chemistry hiding something from us. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉. All good techniques thanks. My go to is fenugreek in water and aloe Vera juice.
Hey Tonya. Can you suggest other affordable protein treatments which we can find? Is hair mayonnaise a protein treatment?
I use Aussies leave in detangling mix for my son
Thanks.
Me: I sleep in one spot. 😴 💤
Curly Chemistry: NO YOU DON'T!
Me: 👀 I stand corrected. Thank you! 😊 🙏🏾🙌🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I hope you enjoy! :-)
