    I can't use coconut oil. It dries my hair out. My sister told me that the grease I had used my WHOLE life and grew shoulder length thick hair from was bad and I needed to use coconut oil. Long story short, my hair broke off, I had to cut it and as I was now married with 4 kids I didn't feel like putting in the work to grow it out again for 4 yrs. But I started growing it out again last August and have retained 4 inches with just twist, oh and yes, I use GREASE!

    I realized I can't thoroughly wash my type 4 hair without sectioning it.

    I’m late to the party, but I’ve learned that the needs of my hair continuously evolve as the months and years pass. My regimen was one way during my transition to natural and the DAY I cut my relaxed ends off, I had to relearn how to handle my hair. Sometimes when I try a product and it doesn’t work, I’ll keep it around for a while and my hair will love and need it later. I’ve had to make continuing adjustments to my routine from when my hair was shoulder length, to now that it’s almost waist length. That’s why it’s a “journey”. You have to remain flexible and vigilant. When your hair tells you that it needs something different, listen.

    I used to spray water on my hair and seal in the moisture with olive oil every 2 to 3 days. My hair dried out in a day. I have learned that I have to oil my scalp and ends every 2 to 3 days and use Olive Oil Moisturizing Lotion on my hair. My hair loves this product. This routine retains the moisture of my hair and I have less shedding and breakage. For my scalp I make my own herb oils using moringa, rosemary, amla, fenugreek, brahm and aloe vera.
    The best detangler for me is the aloe vera leaf. I deep condition my hair once a month with Dove deep conditioning cream adding jamaican caster oil, my own herb oils, glycerin, honey, vitamin E and peppermint essential oil. I have also learned that I lose less hair if I finger tangle my hair and blow dry my roots after each wash day.

    I've learned that protective styling with extensions is not for me! I would get my hair cornrowed and wear wigs 25/7 and have dry hair for almost two months at a time - but no more! I did the big chop on my natural hair last July (my hair was about 1 cm long) and one year later, even after neglecting my hair like crazy, my hair is now 5 inches long, and that makes me wonder about my hair's true potential - all I have to do is take care of it and I'm sure I'll see even more growth within a year's time. I've started a regimen of washing my hair weekly and using an aloe vera gel+peppermint oil spritz, Camille Rose leave-in conditioner, and sealing with Kuza's Indian Hemp Grease. I'm on a journey to growing my natural hair and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me!

    I have to wash my hair twice a week on a scheduled to keep it looking good and feeling moisturized. I wash it with a moisturizing shampoo one day and use a co-wash the other day. But, once a month I'm sure to use a clarifying shampoo to start with a clean slate. That always makes a difference and keeps my fine, low porosity hair from getting any build-up and no shedding and also is helping me to retain length. 👍🏻🤗🥰

    Bandwagon is so right, hence is the reason why many “naturals” went back to relaxers trying to achieve an unrealistic goal is no goal at all. I’m natural and I stick to what works I don’t try cardi b’s soup or these “gurus” that swear they know what they are doing, my hair likes to be left alone and I listen and my hair is long enough to be twirl into a donut with chop sticks and I have 4c/4d zig zag coils that my mom and stylists used to hate but now that I’m an adult everyone compliments my hair because it’s long, but when I big chopped people thought I was having a mental crisis people are strange, I love my hair ever since I was a kid I wanted my hair to be natural but my mom always used a straightening comb. In her eyes it’s only beautiful straighten and it used to make me wish I was white in high school, it wasn’t until my adulthood and moving away that I love my hair and embrace who I am as an African American Cherokee woman

    I’ve learned that once I remoisturise my hair 3-4 days after my first initial moisturising routine on wash day. It is redundant for me to keep remoisturising my hair after that because it starts to feel like it’s parched. And what my hair needs is real hydration(water) so wash day HASSSS to be every week and if I’m busy I can only push it to a week and a half after that I risk damage to my ends. It’s like they become brittle and really weak after that point

  • @jenc9956
    @jenc9956 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video. With my hair I have noticed a few times I cannot do wash & gos. My hair does not respond to it well. Hairstyles that call for me hair to not be combed through end up causing me to lose more hair and experience a lot of breakage. Although I am natural, my hair experiences very good growth when I apply heat once a week (which is my hair wash day)...when I blowdry on low heat and use my flatiron then I style it in a low ponytail and hold up the ends. My hair grows the fastest that way or when I use mousse on blowdried hair with my permrods and do a curly style. But natural styles like twist outs, braid outs, wash & gos are damaging to my hair. I cannot use a wide tooth comb to detangle in the shower I use a wet brush. Less hair comes out and never snag. Blessings~
