I LOVE your video for so many reasons. No long introductions, you went straight to the point and it was very informative!!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it. I hate watching long intros on youtube so I'm never going to add one in lol
Yes
I use a shampoo, deep conditioner, and a styling cream and that’s it and guess what it grows and thick. When I go to get my hair done, they ask me what I do like I’m the professional.😊
That's awesome, sounds like you've mastered you haircare!
Thanks for this video. I am scaling down on products from 3 shelves down to one. My family is thanking me because they have not had to buy products. When they can't use them, I give unopened products to this nonprofit organization for abused women.
What a great way to reuse unused products, I'm sure those women are grateful! Thanks for watching!
I so so agree with you and I am so happy to see a YT touch on this issue. I stopped buying a lot of products for my hair about four to five years ago when I noticed, that none of them were making a difference in my hair. I went back to what used to work when my mother was doing our hair (added a few products), I have very dry hair and scalp so I started back using hair grease. I only use one product, I deep condition my hair once a month during shampooing, and I moisturize my hair daily with Aleo Vera juice, almond oil, and peppermint oil. Now because my hair tends to dry quickly, I use Shea Butter and oils mixed together three to four times a week and my hair is healthier than it has ever been, almost waist length. Now the one thing I noticed that I have been doing that I wasn't before (and it came about due to a serious medical emergency) is drinking a ton of water. I almost lost my life and the one thing the doctor told me to do was, drink at least 72 oz of water a day, this is when I noticed a lot of hair growth, great video and I pray that other natural hair ladies, listen and take heed.
Sounds like you have a really solid routine!! I agree, drinking water is soo beneficial I need to do a better job and get on your level!
I agree with the “less is more” concept. Especially with the diy concoctions. My Lord… it’s enough to cause anxiety, which will make one’s hair fall out. Going back to what worked, try to be consistent with a simple routine. Your hair is lovely.
I love that you were so straight to the point
Thank you!
im have very straight heir but this came up on my recommended and i love to know about all hair types-
but im glad you said that you dont have to use products all from one line, women of all walks of life believe they have to stick with one brand of everything when in reality, brands just say that so youll only buy from them!! it’s totally okay to mix and match your products to find what works for you!!
interesting video! :)
I get so overwhelmed when I walk down the isle. I know I need something, but end up leaving with nothing because I never really know how to choose. I’ve started making my products at home to avoid the stress.
That's so understandable, they throw so much at as in the stores.
And thats literally why i sm here on TH-cam searching for opinions from other sistas.
Miss queen is preaching the truth from the beginning!!
I used to be a product junkie until I learned how to make my own natural hair care products. I still use a few store bought products but not many. My hair and scalp likes simple ingredients I whip up in my kitchen. I guess you could say my hair likes home cooked meals. lol ☺️ You're right less is more.
haha home cooked meals for our hair! Brilliant. I agree, DIY products seem to be more beneficial. Thank you for watching.
@@preciousfro
You welcome lil sis. Lol
Facts I was a product junky buying all black owned products and I simplified as well. Shea moisture shampoo and conditioner and shea butter as a moisturizer and my hair has grown crazy. Nice video.
I completely agree. My hair loves water more than anything, I found out if I don't wet it under warm to hot water it stays dry. I shampoo, condition, put a leave in/butter in and that's it. I need to try an oil next, but that's it. Les is definitely more! 🥰
Trust me when I tell you you are using few products so feel free to add the oil....don't feel guilty your not a product junkie lol...
@@semoneg2826 Ok kool, lol. Do you have any oil recommendations? I was thinking of Jojoba oil, or like an oil blend. I was looking at the Mane choice multivitamin one. Or should just 1 simple oil be enough?
I Love jojoba! That would be my personal recommendation!
@@preciousfro Ok! Thank you so much! 🥰
Exactly...Although I have 4C hair, I prefer to use the Mielle Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner...As I swim an average of 4 days a week, I wash my hair at least twice a week, so I've lost patience with using four plus step routine every wash day...
Agreed some of these 1234 step routines are just unnecessary!
This has always been me and I’ve always been the one with the most healthy and lengthy hair in my family/friend group
Thank you so much for this video. I stopped watching natural hair videos for many years due to feeling overwhelmed by the many products and steps. I truly appreciate this video🤗
Yes I gave up on being a product junkie years ago. I simplified my hair products. Fro butter hair butter and black soap shampoo, Mimi’s curls oils, honeys handmade conditioner incorporated with henna sooq Ayurvedic herbs.
oooh that sounds like a great blend of natural products!
Yes true natural products is what makes the hair healthy...and when its healthy it grows
OMG, from a woman to you as a woman you look like a Goddess Queen with that gorgeous natural hair and lovely looking looking face and cocoa skin. You are up their with the best of them. I so agree with you that black hair industry knows how desperate we are to grow our hair because we've had the least investment in our hair. Just look at TV adverts and that is still biased. However, all these new products like Miche etc claiming to be miracle products are a load of rubbish. I tried it and for the extortionate price it doesn't do anything. It's easy to achieve what they want us to think we can achieve when they are hairdressers and it's not like one can take a hairdresser out of ones bag at ones convenience. And yes, you don't have to use the same product from one line. Who sticks to that!! Thanks for the tip with the Jamaican Caster Oil as I've always thought rubbish of them - will try it. I was in awe when I saw your hair out with twist. You and a few other black women on TH-cam have the hair going on that if you were on a Red Carpet amount the stars everyone's hair no matter what race would be background compare to yours, it's just beautiful hair looking. Thank you and I'm a fan because you keep it real and you are not superficial either.
I never like using the same product from one line especially if you don't know bow your hair reacts to it...
People need to remember this world system is all about making money especially when the demand is high...its call business...we just need to use wisdom..
The Jamaican castor oil is very real...why,be at it's A natural oil it works wonders...
Thanks so much for your kind words! I totally agree, most of the products end up being made up of the same ingredients and giving the same result
That's true it's wise to test out new products one at a time
I do my own gel from flax seeds by boiling them in water, and staring gel through muslin cloth, natural ingredients and does the job! does the job for me and curls are popping!! My go to hair products is Olaplex, expensive but worth it…
You're talented then!
Love the video! I too was a product junkie. Less is for sure more!! I too want to try the 4c only hair care line as well!! Waiting until I finish what I have now to give it a try! 🙌🏾
Thank you! I think we all end up going through a product junkie phase at some point lol. What is your current go to for deep conditioning?
Yeah I use the basics.. After I wash and condition I moisterize then seal....monthly hot oil treatments.... The thing is some people admitted that they can't help it when a new product come out they must have it...
I more work on the chemistry keeping my hair healthy and growing it.....
Totally agree!
Love this video, you spoke the truth, especially about Jamaican Black Castor Oil. Sorry to say, but what they sell in the stores is complete diluted garbage!!! It's fasle advertising by some labels when they claim its "original"!! Fortunately for me, I come from a Jamaican background, so when I go to Jamaica or if I know a family member or friend is visiting, I am always fully stocked. These stores will never get my pennies!!!
Say it louder for the people in the back!! At first I felt bad putting the local JBCO on blast like that, but someone's gotta say it. How are you 100% real Jamaican castor oil when you have about 9 different ingredients? lol The marketing of these people...
When I go to St Lucia ( I live in the UK) I get my supply from the local women who make it by hand from plant seed to bottle. The nutty roasted smell, thickness, texture viscosity and colour of the oil will let you know what you really got in that bottle!
@@preciousfro You should never feel bad about telling the truth!! It shows integrity. Trust me when I say your truth is inspiring and saving ppl money!!😄
@@JF-xj1hz Omg...there's nothing like it!! And the beauty is bcos it's so concentrated, a little goes a long way!! I use mines sparingly and carefully, its so precious I don't want to waste a drop!!😂😂
@@preciousfro Amen
The best editorial on hair products
Thank you so much for watching!
I love this video. I decided this month to scale my products down, especially since I've embraced my grey hair. The Jojoba Oil and C.R. will definitely be my style staples, and I have my fravorite moisturizing conditioner in Texture ID products that I will keep. Just need to find a moisturizing shampoo and a deep conditioner that I like for my type 4 grey hair❤. Next year, I want to have the products I will stick with. Thanks for the post. God's blessings to you.
Tea tree oil is my favourite oil too.
It's so good!
Straight to the point . Thank You 😊Great Video !
Thanks for watching !
Great video, I subbed......even though I have locs, I love watching 4c women managing their 9ether good hair.
+the fact that you featured rooted treasure jbc speaks volumes. It's the real deal (just like my great-grandmother use to make) it's not the thinned out versions that's very popular now a days.
Your hair is beautiful btw and I agree, less is more. I learned that the hard way.
Jojoba oil is great. I also tried baobab oil and OMG!! I swear it feels like it absorbs instantly but the moisture and how it makes your hair feel, just WOW. It's not cheap though but I love it.
Love tea tree, it was my go to until I read about lemon myrtle essential oil.
It's much stronger than tea tree so you use way less. It's more expensive too but I love it, smells great.
You're familiar with rooted treasure too!? Awesome! They really are underrated, I hope they start getting more attention for their quality. I'm going to look into that baobab and lemon myrtle oils! Thanks for the recommendations!
@@preciousfro yup, I watched their video on how they make black castor oil a while back and they're the real deal. I see a lot of youtubers using the more popular brands and when I point out that it's not the real deal, some of them get defensive....shrug, ok, lol....I'm like, if you only knew.
I like having thirty products to choose from in the bathroom and the 23 under the bed
Then I make my own stuff as well
LOL if you like i love it!
Lol
If you live in a hot and humid area, you need more than oil or butter to set your style because they have no hold agents.
You need a strong hold gel or cream based on the density and texture of your hair else your style won't last for 10 mins.
Ingredients to look out for include Polyquaternium- 69, Polyquaternium- 55, Vp/va copolymer, Pvp, Acrylate Copolymer etc.
I respectfully disagree. I don't try to force my hair to do anything that it doesn't want to do or maintain any curl pattern that it doesn't want to. Gels can be very drying so I stay away from them. My focus is health of my hair first and reducing product build up.
@@preciousfro Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to force my styling option on you or anyone however, based on my experience as someone that lives in a highly hot and humid place, I've had my style go limp within 2 mins of styling and leaving the house because I used only butter.
So I researched and all the results I got was to use a product with hold or humidity blocker I've tried it and it worked perfectly (this also includes grease which I've tried as well👌🏿)
Not all gels are created equally. There are botanical gels and for synthetic gels, I use a leave-in under it and a little oil to break the crunch. 💖
I understand what you're saying, I think since I'm looking to reduce product buildup as much as possible and keep my routine simple I would never consider a gel. I just accept my hair wanting to be poofy or frizzy in humidity. But i'm glad you have a routine that works for you!
@@preciousfro try botanical gels the hood isn’t the best, but it doesn’t dry your hair out
@@preciousfro to prevent product build up try a clarifying shampoo and conditioner. I use crème and nature clay conditioner and shampoo right along with their prepoo clay mask. I use the clay mask once or twice a month
Your so beautiful and your hair looks amazing ❤
Awww thank you so much sis!
I love the Camille Rose Twisting Butter! Great video sis!
Thanks so much!
For me and my 4c hair I just need soft filtered water, shea butter and aloe Vera juice or gel and maybe occasionally almond oil and I’m good. If I use a mask it’s an avocado mask. And don’t have to put this on my hair all the time which is great because my hair is dry easily being high porosity.
The filtered water thing is such a good point!
@@preciousfro oh yes my hair changed when I got a shower filter. But before I could afford one I just would buy distilled gallon water jugs from the dollar store or from Walmart which works the same for washes and daily DIY hair spritz
I really think the MORE I wash my. The more it grows I wash at least twice a month but I learned early about buying a lot of different. Product yes I did bc I been. On my hair journey and 5yrs and some stuff I brought back then I still have a lot unopen
That makes sense, our scalp needs regular maintenance but I don't think our actually hair strands need to be washed as much as our scalp does depending on each individuals' preferences and product usage. Thanks for watching!
There are too many products out there on the shelf that it can become too overwhelming. I use one oil, been using for a two years straight and it has grown my hair drastically. Wouldn't change it. I use design essentials and it have done wonders on my hair and I do not change and my hair is super long. I don't switch it and I don't do anything else. What works for me, I don't fix it and don't change.
What oil is it?
If it aint broke don't fix it !
best youtuber by far i love you thank you!!!!!!
aw that's sweet of you to say thanks so much for watching!
That's right,keep it simple as possible.We don,t need that much.Lovely video.Thx.👍💝🥰
Thank you so much !
Another viewer here appreciating you getting to the point and not talking for 15 minutes. Thank you lol
Glad you enjoyed!
Now that I'm trying to change my regimen, the number of products will be increasing. My regimen rotates my products, so any additional products will just fall into the rotation. Just counting the products, I have plus the ones I want to add, it comes to 12 products. My shampoo regimen only uses 7 products. Any changes are for the midweek use.
hello there, I love eco styling gel it really does wonders for my 4c,4b hair
You gotta do what works for you !
I love this video sooo much ... less is indeed more
Thank you so much for watching !
that hair got me sprung girl, SPRUNG!!!!!
I don’t even have money for products for my 4c hair cos it’s so freaking expensive I tell u and I’m broke. I’m always managing my products
They can def. be expensive, which is why just focusing on a few simple products is beneficial in the long run.
Try some natural simple things like clove water, alovera gel if it agrees with you, castor oil etc....these makes healthy hair ...you can always add products when you can afford to
Can i use this if i have 4a hair?
Compare the Ingredients list of Aussie 3min and TGIN Honey Mask. They are 95% Identical. The formula might be different though
That's a good tip, I'll have to check that out! Thanks!!
I use Aussie and it works the best and Dove deep conditioner aswell🙌🏽
Formulation can cause a large difference in how a product turns out tbh. I find that Aussie Moist 3min is superrrrr drying for my hair, whereas the TGIN Miracle Repairx (which, most likely because it’s made the same company and has a similar formulation to the Honey Mask) is super hydrating and moisturizing for my hair.
@@shantavanee the only issue I have with Aussie 3min is that it's so waxy that I almost fell in the shower more than two times. It also feels waxy maybe because of the numerous cationic surfactants. So, I had to stop using it before I injure myself.
Thank you sis God bless you
I love this video!💞. Very early in my journey, I discovered one of my staple products and used it until the brand changed the formula.
🤚Quilty of being a rebel also 🤣. Thank God that I am at the stage of my journey where less is more.
VO5 is my #1 pick! I even upgrade it to use as a deep conditioner.
Glad I'm not the only rebellious one! Lol! wow I totally forgot about V05!! I used to use that all the time as a kid, I should give that another try. Super affordable line as well. Thank you for sharing!
That’s right! I’ve been revisiting more affordable conditioners and beefing them up, the old school way. I was literally just looking at V05 again! ❤️
I use Vo5 too and okay around with the conditioner
I’ve turned natural a few years ago and I still don’t know how to do my hair I just wear braids all the time and I have such good hair but idk how to do it
How is your hair holding up with your braid routine?
What's the difference between black Jamaican castor oil and normal castor oil?
You are do right
I like this hairstyle
Thank you!
@@preciousfro you'r welcome
Finally a REAL person ☺️
Thanks so much for watching!
Good job.... Please advise on shading hair I don't know why my keeps shading....
Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing shedding. It would be hard for me to say exactly what you should do without knowing the reason that your hair may be shedding. Do you think that it's shedding or do you think that it's actually breaking?
I totally agree 🥰
Thanks for watching!
do you apply butter/cream first then oil? or oil then butter/cream?
The grease can be use in place of butter??
I use ogx too apparently it’s abd and makes your hair fall out
Love twist outs
You and me both!
thanks!
Rebel! Lol love it ❤
thanks girlll!!!

Thank you for the support!
Tgin leaves my hair feeling stripped. Has anyone else experienced this?
Really!? I've never experienced that personally.
Thank you darling for sticking with oils and butters lol😁
lol I'm never letting them go! Thank you for watching!
Can you recomened any shampoos and moisturizers for my hair its really damaged due to my hair being relaxed several times its been a few months and it looks worser than before and ot shrank alot
Hey hun, I'm going to be honest with you. A shampoo or a moisturizer is not going to bring back hair that has been chemically damaged from a relaxer. I would try to salvage it with using protein treatments and focus on taking care of and regrowing your new hair.
Oh yea. TGIN deep mask is it. It’s so solid. Everything about it is great. Too thicke 4c is also good, but no need to pay $25 bucks
What porosity does your hair has?
I have low porosity hair.
@@preciousfro Ah ok thx, mine is high.
What is the porosity of your hair?
Good Question, i'm not 100% positive but I'd say it's low-medium
If you don't mind me asking, whats your ethnic background?
I do not mind, my family is from Ghana.
@@preciousfro I knew it! I notice on social media Ghanaian and Nigerian women often have very long (long as in waist/tailbone/hip length) type 4 hair with high density. Must be genetic
💞💞
💖
@@AfriPrincess411 If you study the women from the African culture with long hair they use a lot of oils and butter
That TGIN ruined me , made my scalp super itchy
does it matter what brand of jojoba oil I get?
I think as long as it's legit jojoba oil, and not watered down with a bunch of other stuff you should be good!
Beautiful hair lady
Thank you so much!
Did you say Rest in Peace as in someone died???
😢 TH-camr Napp Queen, killed by boyfriend. th-cam.com/video/qAWVOrPM2Us/w-d-xo.html
Yea nappqueen on TH-cam
Yes nappqueen.
Is Tgin passed?
The founder Tia passed away
Oh I had no idea, that's terrible.
I think everyone were a product junkie when you watch a Vedio boy OOO. Boy what ever they use I would have to have it I buy everything they use child I. Did that about twice never did it again
We've all been there for sure!
I don't buy all of that stuff... I've been getting by all of this time... My hair is healthy... It will be long if I want my hair to be... I will cut all of my hair off if I want a certain style...
Wait?!!!! Wtf??? NappQueen died?? What? No I don't think so 🤔 I could have sworn I saw a reel of her and her fiance last year wtf?
According to Google, her life was ended early by someone else. Very tragic if true.
Yes unfortunately, she's no longer with us.
Just get a wig and throw all your hair products away. Save tons of money and a days of trying to straighten out that rats nest!
Your natural hair is a rats nest? 😮
Sorry but we love to play in our God given beautiful hair... This was not well put, sounds like you hate natural hair or something
@lajuodatuwa-omagbemi1465 *that is a troll😅*
I'm guilty of being a product junkie 🥲
Recovering product junkie here! I get it! lol
VO5 shampoo slash conditioner in One.... Magic Hair Grease, Olive oil Rosemary twigs... Period i have lox almost waist length... I tried all the other crap after I Rinsed it out😮😢🤔🌑🌚 HAIR was still nappy kinky😅😂😂NO Difference, same nappy kinky ngr HAIR lmao 😂🤣😂😅😂😂🎉
