I just started daily washing. I shampooed and conditioned 3 days in a row and I kid you not each day has been less shedding and breakage from start to finish! In just 3 days of doing this!! I used to be a weekly washer and always got so much shedding and breakage and I've tried it ALL! All kinds of scalp treatments, Ayurveda herbs, oils, butters, olaplex, k18, protein treatments...I mean everything and I have never seen results as fast and as drastic as daily washing. My hair is so soft and tangles less. I can brush through my dry hair without snagging (I do blow dry). I love that my hair can smell fresh every day. Im type 4b natural with hair little past shoulders. I do not cowash. I use shampoo, conditioner, and a pure silicone serum and that's it. I use the Dry Bar paddle brush dryer. I like it because it doesn't get as hot as the other paddle dryers on the market. My preferred product lines are Keracare and Kerastase. I am still in shock at the results i am getting this soon from daily washing.
On topic, the rules i break:
I shampoo daily
Use sulfates
Use silicones
Use heat
I don't care. I am enjoying my hair for the first time in many years. Daily washing was the missing key for me!
Girl once you said KeraCare and Kerastase my eyes lit up! I’m so very happy for you. 🥹 The way I feel like dang, who knew that me uploading one video would impact another in such a special way. THANK YOU FOR SHARING 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾♥️♥️♥️
@EvieAswiti Yes!🙌🏾 Kerastase and Keracare are the bomb, aren't they?!
Years ago, I first saw Ms. Mississippi here on TH-cam shampooing every 2-3 days and I tried it but never stuck with it consistently. I certainly wasn't getting these results even washing every 2-3 days. Then I had a video randomly pop up with this black scientist giving a presentation on the benefits of washing black natural hair daily and she said she does it now and will never stop. She saw the same benefits you stated. Then YOUR video randomly popped up and I was like ok I think this is a sign I'm doing this!😄
Because my hair was so dry, tangled, and brittle I think I needed to start with a wash schedule that was more...extreme (for lack of a better word) than 2-3 days even. I can't see myself not doing this going forward. Like you, even if I flat iron it'll probably stay 3 days max which is usually when my straightened hair starts to go south anyway, lol. This is literally curing my excessive shedding issue I have had for YEARS.🥹
I have a friend I want to tell about this because she is having the same issues with her hair that I was having but I feel like she'll look at me crazy. She does wear wash n gos now so maybe she'll be open to trying it for a week. Anyway, enough rambling. Please don't stop sharing your experience. Ignore the naysayers. There are other women out here who have proven and are still proving that washing natural hair very frequently absolutely solves a lot of our hair woes. You guys just don't have the huge audience even though what you're doing makes the most sense. You are truly an inspiration.
Awwww wowww that is so sweet and I am very encouraged by reading this. I appreciate you greatly and I will absolutely continue to share my experiences on my channel. God bless you, love! 💗

*I’M BREAKING NATURAL HAIR RULES BY:*
• Using silicones and sulfates
• Using heat
• Using White European hair products
• Oiling
👏🏾 i know that’s right!
WOW! Didn't know that your hair was that long! Looks lovely.
Shrinkage is such a shapeshifter 🤭 THANK YOU!
@@EvieAswiti😅
Your hair looks so pretty and healthy!
Thank you so muuuuuuch!
That's what I did.... I got all caught up in the rules now I listen to my hair and it's been flourishing
👏🏾
Breaking rules is about understanding the rules first. If you don't understand the rules, you might just ruin your hair. I remember a natural hair TH-camr saying she combs from root to ends, which I also do sometimes. But had I been doing that in the beginning without understanding gow to avoid breakage, I would have continue to ruin my hair. Same with heat styling etc.
I see what you mean. I think with heat styling it’s important to know that our hair can handle heat and damage usually occurs when we don’t pivot our routine to add nourishment to the hair. I can’t imagine not washing my hair for a week or two weeks, but I put heat in my hair every day to every other day. Of course hair will be damaged, it’s thirsting to be washed again.
@@EvieAswitithe cause of heat damage is using heat on dry, dehydrated hair. Whenever I see naturals using heat mid week without rehydrating the hair I am never surprised (like they are) that heat damage occurred. Keep washing and conditioning your hair before heat and you will preserve your texture no matter how many times you straighten. I know this from personal experience as someone who used to straighten one a week for years ONLY after washing and deep conditioning. I was able to transition to a wash and go no problem.
@WellBeing999 That’s exactly my same thoughts around using heat! Only on hydrated hair
who made up the rules
Using sulphates, using grease, washing every other day
I LOVE SULPHATES!
You are such an inspiration for us daily washers and those of us who are curious about it. I'm not that far into daily washing but I am absolutely loving the clean scalp and hair feeling and smelling fresh in the head. When i pass by people i know they are smelling my nice conditioner and not a stale smelling scalp that i tried to cover up with leave in.
“stale smelling scalp” 💀💀💀 thank you!
You look so cute, love your Afro but love this so much as well. ❤❤❤ Thriving sis.
Than you so much! thankful for having hair options 💞♥️
Oh my God i lysm 😭💗im (20) the only natural in my family because I've seen the hatred they have for their natural hair so i felt like i had to be like kind of an "example" for them on what it means to love your hair.Over time I've noticed that i no longer use my head of hair a form of expression because i cant bleach it,dye it or put heat on it when ive always loved cool looking hairstyles. I put heat in my hair now (safely)and i do whatever i want with it because of your advice so tysm!
Oh wow you’re so welcome! I love to hear that. Keep being an inspiration, whenI first went natural I didn’t have a lot of support and now everyone asks me how I do my hair and compliment my hair. 🎀💞☺️
How is your hair holding up with adding heat sometimes?
@@EvieAswiti I still have my afro and I blow dry.I put it on medium heat for my hair on my wash days.I just use a good heat protectant and I oil my scalp with Amla oil .I was scared of my hair breaking off because the reason I went natural in the first place was because of heat damage 💗this channel has helped me to not be so afraid .Its my hair and I love it in any shape or form! :3
Girl!! You are literally so breathtaking! I literally just wanted to add to your compliment bank.🥰 I’m loving your content, it’s refreshing! I haven’t been into natural hair content in years and you’re bringing me back.
Awww yay! Thank you, Fae. I appreciate you for the compliment and supporting my content 🥹🫶🏾♥️♥️♥️♥️
I agree
😍 hair looks amazing! Still washing my hair daily and straightening once a week or every other week and my hair is thick and thriving. I get so many compliments when I straighten. Shoutout to H2O!
Thank you and that’s so awesome! This way of thinking and implementation around our hair makes me so happy. Like I truly feel so proud of wearing my hair out and I used to not feel that way 🥹 so yes, shoutout to H2O!
Your skin has me gagging. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much! My fave feature on me 💅🏾
She does have great skin. Periodoso
What are you wearing on your lips? I love how natural and black girl nude it looks!
Thank you! ‘Spill the Tea’ by MAC 💄
I feel free to switch up between wash and gos, twist outs and headwraps ❤
Nice!
I feel freedom with my natural hair now. However in the early stages of my journey, I felt I had to follow the “rules” for my hair to thrive. It was definitely not true. Your hair looks healthy and great!!
Thank you so much! Cheers to freedom ♥️
Heeeeeey Evie! I will watch this later 😅 But the thumbnail caught me and I just haddddd to say your hair looks AMAZINGGGGG! Just Beautiful!! Stay blessed lovely! 🥰
Heeeeey my love! Thank you so much ☺️ I knew I had to upload this topic at some point! Get your snack and beverage ready!
My mom pressed my hair with royal crown. I wear my hair in a afro everyday. Dry heat break your hair.
I wanna try a hairstyle like this,how would you go at washing your hair since you do it frequently?
@@HandleBerries Instead of every day, I wash every 3 days. Giving my hair a rest from heat within this timeframe to wash my hair again has been pleasant so far.
Yes! So here’s what I did:
Washed and straightened my hair Monday. No heat on Tues and Wednesday. Re-washed and straightened my hair again Thursday. No heat until my next wash. So far so good! My curls reverted back.
@@EvieAswiti okay thank you so much for answering!😊
@HandleBerries You’re welcome 😉
Love these rules live life on your own terms. Looking amazing
@@theconfidentwoman3023 Thank you my love!
What natural hair “rules” are you ready to break?
All of them. We’re the only people who feel like we have to hide our hair 24/7. Nope. I had a silk press two weeks ago & now I have in braids. I love switching it up.
(These braids are about to come out soon because I was enjoying washing my hair twice a week 😅)
Right!!!! Lol at the hair washing. With my hair straight now I can’t imagine going more than a few days without sudsing my scalp and smelling my Herbal Essences. 🤣
1. not trimming 2. blow drying be totally fine
I am never shy of a trim or blow dry!
I really am interested in your method of washing your hair more frequently. I wash every 7-10 days, but I must say that sometimes after about 4 days, I’m ready for a wash!
Ooop I'm with you!! There is no one size fits all. I've gotten out the habit of using oils on my hair. Trying to find more shampoos and conditioners that aren't heavy on oils either. I'll give Herbal Essences a shot, thank you!
You’re so welcome! Yeah it is not necessary to be so militant with our hair when it comes to routines and products.
Beautiful love it! Can you do a video showing the products you used? Thank you!
I don’t mind doing a straight hair natural hair products video! For sure.
I absolutely LOVE THIS MESSAGE!!! ❤😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Spread it far and wide sis! 🫶🏾♥️
New subie because of the title!😂
Welcome to my channel, bookie!
Bro chickened out 🐓
Make a tutorial showing how you straight without causing damage
It’s pretty straightforward the trick is to only use heat to straighten your hair after you wash it. For me that’s washing my hair twice a week when I’m straight instead of daily when I’m curly.
Hope that helps.
urgh so fun, luv it here! 🫶🏽
Glad to have you here with us!
Hair❤❤
Appreciate you ☺️🎀
Wow!! Very nice🎉❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
Tbh the natural hair community is toxic and all the rules push many away. At this point I do what I want and what works. If I want to throw on a wig I will, if I want to straighten it I will etc. I understand not wanting to pick a side cause im on the straight natural journey and low key want to get a wash and go but feel conflicted 🤣. Regarding straightening ive never attempted to straighten my own hair but my stylists is the best and her blow outs last 2-3weeks. I usually only run an iron once in the front during week 2 or 3.
Very toxic. I’ll clap back at some of my comments just for sport sometimes 🤭 doing what we want is our liberty. Perioso.
If you continue to go back and forth, you will see the damage but do you. Just don’t act like there are no consequences. And even if you are the rare person that doesn’t experience damage that is the exception and not the experience that most people will have.
Absolutely not. I rebuke any form of projection of hair damage you’re sending my way. IJN.
Ma'am why are you here? Please continue slathering on shea butter and washing every 6 weeks. Do YOU. Exit.
@@EvieAswiti Amen!
