I drop to the floor when I heard my name!!! Thank you so much for your video and every video you ever put out. I truly value your thoughts on hair & hair products and as I was starting my crochet hair journey, I serious thought you had left the crochet hair world but lucky me you are back! Thank you so so much in being in all our lives and teaching us how to do it right...lol!!! Thank you for your time and patience with all the question we throw your way. You are appreciate and loved! ❤
Thank you so much for the shoutout 😩😩😩 I still haven’t purchased the unscented, so I just walk around smelling like dryer sheets😂 I have never tried the Hawaiian Silky miracle worker😍 so now I have to go pick it up especiallyyyy for this silky style I have in now!
When I went to cosmetology school back in the 80's ,we used fabric softener for our mannequin' hair and it was "Synthetic"! It made it really soft, detangle and smell good !
I LOVEEEEEEEEEE THIS CHIC!!! I always visit her content before I choose my next protective crochet style. This video is VERY resourceful!!! Love sistas supporting other sistas!!😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍
🇬🇧 🙋🏾♀️ That's a good point. Wearing the hair first and seeing what it needs as you go is best. Not all hair is the same, some need product, some don't. Some like mousse some hate mousse and need something else like hawian silky 👍🏾
No I tried it once and it causes a buildup I just us a hot wash cloth and run it down the hair with praying hands works every time❤ and a very good method to detangle and I wear the deep twist
For me fabric conditioner is great if I'm not actually wearing it, as in removable wig or hair pieces, as otherwise fabric conditioner used this way (as in on crochet hair) is really not advisable, with ingredients that are toxic to both skin and scalp (even in the unscented and baby versions as they are meant to be fully rinsed out and not diluted and left on), interfere with the immune system and are carcinogenic (as in cancer) with regular exposure (so yeah quite nasty), so Hawaiian Silky miracle worker 14 in 1 or Cantu Coconut Oil Shine and Hold Mist are better for crochet style. Please, please, please as a hair and beauty therapist, ladies, do not put the downy mix on scalp or skin, as this can produce a rather unpleasant experience, especially if that triggers a bad skin reaction... As you say, Lia, it's better to use a proven hair and beauty product, but even with some of those products there might be some reaction, so it's always better to test them at the back of your ear on a pea size area of skin for 24 hours, prior to spraying a whole area. If there is no reaction then you're good to go, if not then you should look for another safer product for you. Everyone is different and will react differently. Great job Lia! If I ever forget to tell you: thank you so much for your channel, you are so good and please keep going! Lots of love from the UK ! 👍🏼🤗😘
PS : I am obsessed with both Indya Ajai and Jess Monique's channels, after yours obviously! 😜 I looked into a homemade version of a fabric conditioner, but even then, there might be some adverse skin reactions... so do a patch test 24-hours prior to spraying a big area.. But you can mix 1 part of raw organic apple cider vinegar, 1 part baking soda and 2 parts water, and a few drops as in 5 drops in total of your fave essential oil to mask the vinegar smell. You can also add a bit of your hair conditioner if you want a silkier mix and/or instead of the essential oil drops, it's up to you to experiment and see how you like it best. More natural and safer. 👍🏼😉
I wish I would have watched this before putting it in my hair. Rinsed it out and I still smell it. Oh well I am just going to have to get used to it until the end of the month. LOL Thank you so much!!!
I've used the fabric softener among other products. Anything with water and alcohol dries out the hair faster. I recently discovered Hollywood Beauty Argan Oil. It's light and smells like grapes. I use it once a week. I have been able to keep my hair in for 6 weeks.
I normally dont use product. I prefer natural looking crochet hair that mimic my own. At most I use naroibi when wearing a updo to make the top flatter. Other than that a mist of water and scissors to cut out tangles when needed. One to two months of wear is the goal.
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️Completely off topic Lia. Do you tubers get paid when we rewatch your posts? I remember you mentioned something about evergreens in a older video. I love rewatching people I follow, you included, it would be nice to know 💜❤️💜
Aww I love that rewatch!! Unfortunately we don’t get anything extra from replays. I think they do that because people would probably just have friends and family watch on repeat over and over to kind of cheat the system. ❤️
@@LiaLavonAwww OK, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the response! I told my sister you always respond to questions. Hope you are safe and well 👍🏾 Sending hugs for Winnie 💜❤️💜
Thank God. Just the thought of spraying toxic downy near my brain does not set right with me. Even though, if you use that toxic stuff on your clothes the chemicals seep right into your bloodstream anyway
I'm just looking for something to stop my wig from being itchy on my skin . I have brand new wigs that itch . The hair fibers itches everywhere it touches my face and around my ears . I just washed a wig with Downey fabric softener . I'll see how it feels tomorrow .
I like Febrezze as much as the next person but I don’t know if I could have that smell me all the time.The great thing about wigs though is you can take them off and not necessarily be attached to the smell all the time.
@@LiaLavon Yes! very true. I will say I didn't notice the smell after an hour or so. I don't think I was necessarily nose-blind either. For me, Febreze don't last like that anyway. Don't think I'd try it on a crochet style tho.
back in the day they used it for braids too, but there are too many products to use these products now. I can already feel the buildup. LOL but to each his own.
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️I saw that post from Indya, I've followed her for some time #fakeittillyoumakeit Never used fab con but I can understand why it would work. You look fabulous btw 🙌🏾 Hugs for Winnie at your feet 😍
This is an old video,but people that used to smoke in their car, even after they smoke, their car will still smell like cigarettes. Apartment buildings these days don’t want people to smoke and/or ask if people smoke bc cigarette smoke stays in the walls,it even darkens their color…..
Left before I got to the point but stayed long enough to comment 🤔 Seems to be a waste of time to even comment but thanx for the view and the video engagement by commenting. Might of been easier just to dislike and move on 👋🏾😩😂

Yasss me too! Come on cosmetology school Sistar 🔥💜
Yep that was our thing for all synthetic hairs back then :-)
I always used fabric softner to soften and detangle my nephew and niece's dolls hair so I figured it would work for hair (synthetic)
@@bhagavad-gitakarma1604 see
Yup me too 😂

Isn’t it great when Women support other Women! Thanks for your authenticity!
I Love it 😍 ❤!! No Gatekeeping!
I use it on my crochet hair all the time. It works for me. It's better than hair mousse in my opinion.

I couldn’t agree with sentiments more! So true ❤️

Thank you, I had the go go installed, so this is great!
This hair on camera Lia is giving what it's suppose to be gave 🥰🥰😍
@Indya Ajai has great crochet content! I love the way you shout out & support other content creator's!!!
"I smell an abundance of dryer sheets....."
Baby I hollered
Loving the Hair, thanks for the info, looking to revive some wigs, will do the research. Thanks for the tips. HSMW for life!

I know it works on wigs but I didn't know it worked for crochet hair
Girl yes the fabric softener works.
I agree. Even though it’s not my product of choice, I can’t deny it has its benefits.
I'm just looking for something to stop my wig from being itchy on my skin . I have brand new wigs that itch . The hair fibers itches everywhere it touches my face and around my ears . I just washed a wig with Downey fabric softener . I'll see how it feels tomorrow .
I’ve never heard of fabric softener stopping itch but I have heard apple cider vinegar works
Chile, I used my febrezze on a curly synthetic half wig and it made soooooooo soft😌☁️☁️☁️

I have been doing that for years!
back in the day they used it for braids too, but there are too many products to use these products now. I can already feel the buildup. LOL but to each his own.
Please don’t spray your hair with Downy! I did this before and it’s what triggered my eczema I didn’t know I had, Or if you have sensitive skin!
Yeah it's gonna touch your skin. I wouldn't use it even if I didn't have eczema.
I was looking for this🤞🥺 my skin reacts to even hair moisturizer so I was wondering what fabric softener will do💔.
Fabric softener, interesting!
Yes it does
🇬🇧🙋🏾♀️I saw that post from Indya, I've followed her for some time #fakeittillyoumakeit
Never used fab con but I can understand why it would work. You look fabulous btw 🙌🏾
Hugs for Winnie at your feet 😍
Go to minute 8 to hear her suggestion. She’s suggesting Hawaiian silky spray
👍🏾
❤️❤️
Should u use products in your hair that has alcohol in it i was advised not to use on synthetic hair
Try to go for alcohol free products.
14 in one doesn't work for me sadly....
Oh no!
Nope. Doesn't work for various crochet braids and I don't want to smell like laundry!😄
😂😂😂

This is a LONG video just to figure out if it works or not and how to use it 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
ok 👌🏾
