I dont do prepoos. Couldn't do it with coconut oil bc im afraid it would irritate my scalp. Ever since I got seborrheic dermatitis, my hair, well scalp lol hates coconut oil. Cleansers, I love the Aztec clay buy never tried any other clay. You have me intrigued lol. I tried the blue as I am co-wash (I think it was the shampoo) bc I read its helpful for s.d. but I can't remember if it stink&lingered in my hair or my scalp/hair didn't like it. Deep conditioners, CHILLLLLLL, I finally bought that camille rose AND IM IN LOVE with that one, omg. And I have the aphogee. Moisturizers, I've tried all 3 except for the soultanicals. Bomb! Those are the ones on your list I've tried or love.
My staples though Cleansers: Aztec clay, I want to try camille rose one, shea moisture manuka&honey no wait I think its the Jamaican black one lol. Deep conditioners: camille rose algae renew, don't kill me but mielle babassu&mint, and my baby momma camille rose coconut water lol Mosturizers: kknt curling custard, camille rose gel, her hair milk, her coconut water leave in, her honey hydrate leave in. As you can see, I love camille
A plant gel I absolutely loveeeee is the Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curl Magic! Yes it’s pricey but a little goes SUCH a long way! It’s literally all film forming humectants like the other 2 you mentioned :)
Camille rose moisture milk and curl maker are BOMB.COM holy grail status. For cleaning the Giovanni 50/50 clarifying shampoo is amazing as well! I want to try the Miche beauty deep conditioner but hard to find here in the Netherlands.
She is killing the game. She really put a link for us to find out if we have hard water or not. Applause 👏 👏 👏 . Very thoughtful. Your videos are always worth my time. Think I’ve found my favorite natural hair you tuber.
@@AfopeAtoyebi Truly. I was ready to cut my hair because I thought it was damaged due to product or mechanical use but it was the water (I live in the Midwest). I started incorporating distilled water in my regimen and used a hard water shampoo (once to "reset" my hair). Saved my almost waist length hair.
The As I Am Dry and Itchy Scalp is currently my go-to cowash. Surprisingly I don't really hear people talk about it at all, but I love the consistency and tingling/minty fresh feel of the peppermint and tea tree oil. Perfect for a midweek wash. Or when my hair isn't super dirty but needs a refresh.
Here are topics I would love to hear ur thoughts on on your thoughts on: - DIYs. Eg aloe/coconut water diy, deep conditioner DIYs etc - “Neutral protein filler” - can I use this in my products whenever I need protein rather than having separate DC etc - HENNA! And Ayurvedic hair care - how it compares to protein and how to use it in the routine u recommend
My goodness! The BEST natural hair care advice channel on the net! I already had the wonderful pre-poo, but just ordered the curl maker, after spending a full day reading and researching, following the advice and great tips from your other videos. I used Giovanni protein hair infusion, for dry, damaged hair, and some other African Pride Moisture Miracles products, yesterday, and wow - waking up, this morning, the game has already changed, dramatically. I think I need to treat myself to a consultation with you, if you are still offering that as an online service, because I'm mighty impressed - especially with the video of your 8 week hair wash and conditioner regime. Makes so much sense, and I know I will see results, slowly but surely, following that. Many thanks. So glad I found your channel! 🙏🏾
Wow wow wow, thank you so much girl! I've never tried the Giovanni protein hair infusion - is it a deep conditioner? Let me go look it up. And yes, I am still offering online consultations if you're interested 😊
You are something else!!!!!! 😍😍😍 just slathered my hair in film forming humectants and it’s the first time I’ve retained moisture in years. I was ready to throw in the towel.
I am OBSESSED with the Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter gel! I've used it as a one and done for a wash and go, but I also want to give it a try with a braid-out. I was very impressed with the Ecoslay banana deep conditioner, and though it's a rinse out conditioner, the Olaplex No. 5 conditioner leaves my hair feeling heavenly when I rinse it out! As you know, I love the clays, and I also love preparing some fresh aloe vera gel/juice, scooped out, blended, and strained, as a base for masks and clay washes and even clay face masks. Every time I use the Kinky Curly curling custard, it makes my hair crunchy, but that's probably because I'm heavy handed, as you point out that is something that can happen if you overdo it with that one. The African Pride pre-poo is absurdly effective, and we all know that Olaplex is bae - I think I have every item, from the salon-only Nos 1 and 2 to all the at-home collection. If anything, the only problem for me these days is deciding what to play with next! :-D
Thanks to you I successfully managed too boost my hair journey by properly incorporating different types of proteins into my routine. Much love and appreciation ❤️
Thank you so much for the detailed information you provide in your videos. This content allowed me to buy the appropriate products for high porosity hair without breaking the bank. Thanks for the hair education.
I literally tried this formulation last week and it was the best wash day ever. I have high porosity hair and the moisture lasted til day 5 when I had to refresh! Please keep doing more videos
Love this and the details in the description are so helpful. It would be great hear more about hard water and the procedures you put in place to help your hair. Really love this channel and am super excited to continue my natural hair journey with the advice of your channel!
Thank you so much! Glad I found your page. Some cosmetologists that act in favor of people with dark skin advise that we should not be using essential oils on the scalp. Why would these doctors say that?
I honestly can’t say it enough! Thank you sooo much for all of the knowledge you are sharing with us! I’m so grateful to have found your channel! I’ve been struggling for years trying to figure out why my hair isn’t growing and why it’s breaking and what products I should be using! I’m still learning but I think you are definitely helping turn my hair around in the proper direction! 🙌🏼❤️
Girrrrl, where have you been all my natural hair life??? I discovered your channel yesterday while looking for inspiration and help with my high porosity hair. So glad to find a real hair specialist with similar texture, thickness and length as my own hair. Bonus is that any product you recommend will be available in the U.K. Love your videos! Detailed, informative, includes regimen suggestions.... you have got the whole nine yards!! So glad I discovered you, subbed and binge watching with pen and paper 📝 Implementing your 8 week rotation starting today...will let you know how my hair is in Jan 2021. THANK YOU 😊
I was reaching for the tub of As I Am dry and itchy scalp care cowash to see it it contained citric acid, just as you were talking up the cleansing pudding, and lo and behold, the next product you grab...is the As I Am dry and itchy scalp care cowash! I figured it would be good to get - and really feel! - a proper clean with a cowash. :-)
Hi Fopes, I use rinse out conditioners strictly ones with silicones to detangle before I shampoo my hair. I always shampoo with a sulphate shampoo which contains a chelating agent.
This information has helped my hair so much. Thank you, thank you! I also have high porosity which is damaged because I didn’t understand to to balance proteins and moisturizer.
This was so useful, thank you! I've never tried Camille Rose but it's deffo on my list of my next re-stock. I would love to see a video on treating dandruff for natural hair!
I've learned so much from your videos. I have a 3c hair type that I have had ups and downs with. I added a few items to my cart based on some of the info from your other videos. I'm hopeful in getting my hair back to it's ringlets. Thanks for making these videos and teaching me more than I've ever known about hair :)
I totally agree re the conditioners, since I've started deep conditioning every week I've completely stopped using standard conditioners. Even though sometimes I want to get a whole line just because it's so nice having all products lined up at home 😂🤔 Have to remind myself what I actually need 😅 Lovelovelove the Camille Rose Algae deep conditioner and moisture milk. I'm still looking for a strengthening DC to alternate, atm I'm using the Shea Moisture Raw Butter Deep Treatment Masque, but I feel like I could find something even better.
I know the feeling! I’m currently trying to talk myself out of buying the full Miche beauty range 😭😭 the raw Shea butter deep conditioner is protein free no?
My staple products are the Curls Blueberry Bliss and the Cashmere & Caviar collection. I use the African Pride pre poo as needed or whatever other products I’m trying to get rid of.
Hi I've literally been binge-watching your videos and they are information overload love it, my only problem is Im from South Africa so the products are not really distributed this side and if they are ita hella-pricey. I am high-pors, fine 4b-4c my hair is just extremely brittle and I cant find the aphogee PT this side. I've used aunty Jakies products when I first transitioned but then I just felt like I didnt know what I was doing and just reverted back to heat styling. So please would you do a video on those products coz you are the first person I found that has my exact type hair
miracle's detangling pre-poo gel is a staple for me - it has coconut water, marshmallow root extract, and aloe vera. For reference I'm low porosity 2C.
I use the Adowa Beauty products. I have low porosity hair even though I have my hair colored by a professional. I like your list! Thank you for real science based reasons for the products you use and why.
Hey Fops🖐🏾, thanks for letting us know about the day and time change because I was disappointed when I didn't see you yesterday! I have the African Pride prepoo in my stash, but I like the Just For Me Curl Peace prepoo better. It has aloe vera, marshmallow root, and honey. Another favorite is Mielle babassu mint dc, it's moisture/protein balanced with lots of amino acids in it. Some people don't care for the smell, but it doesn't bother me. I noticed when you posted the ingredients for the Redken conditioner that it contained isopropyl alcohol. Can you explain the purpose of it in hair care products. I thought it was considered "bad" and drying for the hair, and I always give stuff the sideeye when I see it on labels. I knew Hydration Elation was gonna be on here!😉
Someone else commented about the just for me curl peace pre poo so now I’m going to have to try it now 😭 Yeah I noticed that about the redken too 😩 it’s typically used to control the viscosity of the product so it’s not too thick. It’s never my first choice, unless it’s the only product I can find at the time that has the exact combo of ingredients in looking for - as was the case with the redken. Please feel free to give me any solvent free suggestions of dc’s with a combo of ceramides, proteins, aminos and BTMS 😭😭 - I’m serous, I’m looking for options
So weird , my hair absolutely hated the as i am tea tree oil cowash. The moment it touched my hair it got extremely tangled and matted. Anyone else had a similar reaction
It's amazing! I use (or have used) many of these products! Still trying to get my hands on Soultanical's though... ;-) Thanks to your previous videos, I understand now that i was missing good strength and elasticity builders. I didn't know about ceramides and stopped using the Aphogee 18 months ago, thinking I could get by from simply adding vegetable keratin to my conditioners. From the state of my hair (loss of volume and too much stretch) I know better know... ;-) But since I really hated using the 2 step, I'm hesitant about it and I've been thinking about the Schwarzkopf BC Fibre Clinix as a replacement or the Aphogee Strenghtening Kit. I know the Fibre Clinix is a bond builder, but they also advertise fortifying with peptides and/or collagen through the boosters. Anyway, I thought it could be an interesting idea for a video to talk about bond repairs product like Olaplex of Fibre Clinix. They are very few such videos in the natural hair community... ;-) Thank you very much for your fun, relatable and highly informative content! :D
I love your videos! and your advice. My hair is 2a BUT...I live in Colorado, my hair is silver/gray and 3 inches short of my waist. And if left natural, frizzes even though I have no chemical damage. The grayier I get the curler my hair has become. Was bone straight growning up. I seem to have to put product everyday on my hair to tame the frizzes! I like products aimed towards curly/coiley hair the best for moisture. If you have any advice to add, please do. Thank you🙂
Thanks for the info! I've been using Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus products which does have a lot of the moisturizing ingredients that you've mentioned. I'm wondering if u have tried those products and what your experience has been. I have high porosity, medium density fine hair and this one works for me but I may try the Kinky Curly or go back to As I Am. I don't remember how the As I Am products were. I just remember they were expensive. Lol. But I'll try them again to see if my hair responds any differently. Thanks again!
Yup I use it when I have emergency situation and have hair matted so I put it on tangled hair then use my hot head cap for 30min in the shower there is less tugging and shedding thanks to this!!
I really feel like its just me but for me the African Pride pre-poo has zero slip for my hair. I have to use soooo much product and even then it struggles to detangle my high porosity bleached hair. I have started using it after I shampoo and mixing it with my conditioner as I do find it very hydrating so at least it isn't going to waste.
Hi Afope!!! Came across this video and it was very helpful. I do have a question if you don't mind. Say one does their own DIY deep conditioning protein treatments at home, after having left such in the hair for whatever amount of time, then wash out, does one STILL apply the deep conditioner after? Or does the DIY deep conditioning protein treatment done earlier suffice? I'd appreciate it if you could grant me some clarity here. Thanks!
@@AfopeAtoyebi it worked pretty good brought her hair back to life for sure! cause It was looking ruff, she was gone with her dad for 2mths and wasn't keeping up with her hair😒😒
Hey, is the light whipped butter homemade ? x Came across your channel 2 days ago, amazing ! Soaking the knowledge, since cutting my hair off the 2nd time now.
Question we have Tresseme 3 in 1 in Canada and it was my first time using because you said it chelates.I have grey hair and have been struggling with this brownish tinge on the ends of my hair . When I tell you it is gone, after one wash and I have used every type of purple shampoo snd it didn’t work. The reason I am writing.. there are claims of Treaseme lawsuits, balding and scalp irritations. What are your thoughts or views in this? You are so knowledgeable snd I trust your expertise. Let me know what you think. Thanks
I very recently found your channel and have binged so many of your vids that I started talking w/ a British accent. 😝😆😝 But seriously, would you pls elaborate on why you don't use a pre-poo w/ every wash day? I have dry, high porosity 4C and thought pre-poo was essential for every wash day, , even if you have reached max hydration. Thanks!
Question! I’ve noticed some conditioning products are labeled as suitable to leave in as well as rinse out. I have a conditioner I really like but is not necessarily labeled as one that can be left in. What are your thoughts about leaving in some conditioner after washing?
I see a lot of people mention the uncle funkys daughter curly magic gel which is also a plant gel. But you have to find the old formula with ZERO protein in the ingredient list
Let's hear it guys 👇👇👇 what are your staples in these categories?
I dont do prepoos. Couldn't do it with coconut oil bc im afraid it would irritate my scalp. Ever since I got seborrheic dermatitis, my hair, well scalp lol hates coconut oil.

My staples though

Deep conditioners: camille rose algae renew, don't kill me but mielle babassu&mint, and my baby momma camille rose coconut water lol
Mosturizers: kknt curling custard, camille rose gel, her hair milk, her coconut water leave in, her honey hydrate leave in. As you can see, I love camille
The Mielle babassu & mint is GREAT! Do you girl! 🥳🥳

She is killing the game. She really put a link for us to find out if we have hard water or not. Applause 👏 👏 👏 . Very thoughtful. Your videos are always worth my time. Think I’ve found my favorite natural hair you tuber.
😭😭 I’m so happy to hear this, thank you so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hard water is real! Almost ruined my hair.
Soooo many people overlook it but it’s legitimately problematic
@@AfopeAtoyebi Truly. I was ready to cut my hair because I thought it was damaged due to product or mechanical use but it was the water (I live in the Midwest). I started incorporating distilled water in my regimen and used a hard water shampoo (once to "reset" my hair). Saved my almost waist length hair.
So good that you figured out it was hard water. Saved you having to lose all that hair unnecessarily
Your skin in this video 😍😍😍
I have type 4 tight coiling hair. My staple is SheaMoisture Manuka Honey Deep conditioner.
The As I Am Dry and Itchy Scalp is currently my go-to cowash. Surprisingly I don't really hear people talk about it at all, but I love the consistency and tingling/minty fresh feel of the peppermint and tea tree oil. Perfect for a midweek wash. Or when my hair isn't super dirty but needs a refresh.

Really wish the KCCC was available in SA!
I’m obsessed with your videos!
Your videos are so good 🥺. You deserve way more subscribers. Could u please do a video on tea rinses ?
Ah thanks Phoebe! Sure, I can put that in my idea bank - anything in particular you want to know about them? Science? Method? Frequency?
Afope Atoyebi science, method and frequency yess. And also what benefits different types of teas provide for the hair when used as a rinse ❤️
Gotcha - I’ll look into it 🥰

Hi Fopes, I use rinse out conditioners strictly ones with silicones to detangle before I shampoo my hair. I always shampoo with a sulphate shampoo which contains a chelating agent.
Same!
This information has helped my hair so much. Thank you, thank you!
I also have high porosity which is damaged because I didn’t understand to to balance proteins and moisturizer.
The Adowa leave in is soo good. It has glycerin down at the bottom so I can't use it year round but it and the camille rose are my top leave ins.
I seriously need start a staple for my hair. Thank you!!!
This was so useful, thank you! I've never tried Camille Rose but it's deffo on my list of my next re-stock.
I would love to see a video on treating dandruff for natural hair!
I've learned so much from your videos. I have a 3c hair type that I have had ups and downs with. I added a few items to my cart based on some of the info from your other videos.

Gooooold knowledge!!! 😍😍😍 thank you so much! I have hope again
I can't thank you enough. Thank you for making these videos. You have changed mine and my daughter’s hair for the better.🤗🙌🏾

Even though sometimes I want to get a whole line just because it's so nice having all products lined up at home 😂🤔 Have to remind myself what I actually need 😅 Lovelovelove the Camille Rose Algae deep conditioner and moisture milk.

I know the feeling! I’m currently trying to talk myself out of buying the full Miche beauty range 😭😭 the raw Shea butter deep conditioner is protein free no?
Miche is one of the brands I want to test so badly.
The raw shea treatment actually contains hydrolyzed vegetable protein PG-propyl silanetriol.
Oh right, just had a look at the ingredients - was the formula always like this? I feel like when I used it several years ago it was protein free.
I'm pretty sure they changed the formula (without announcing anything) like they did with some of their other products.
You’re saving us one strand at a time ❤️ just ordered the kaolin clay to go with my bentonite clay 🙌🏾
💃🏾💃🏾 Let’s goooo
Ok this is the best one I’ve seen yet!!! It has everything I’ve always wanted from a hair care video!
My staple products are the Curls Blueberry Bliss and the Cashmere & Caviar collection. I use the African Pride pre poo as needed or whatever other products I’m trying to get rid of.
Omg I do this too with pre poos 😭😭 and sometimes with DC’s - I just mix leftovers from a bunch of random ones so they don’t go to waste 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing these healthy hair staples. My favorite is Soultanicals
Yesss! Soultanicals ALL THE WAY! 🥰💃🏾
Could you make a wash day routine with your braids please ?

What colors did you use for the braids? I love the color added
Thanks for the info! I've been using Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus products which does have a lot of the moisturizing ingredients that you've mentioned. I'm wondering if u have tried those products and what your experience has been. I have high porosity, medium density fine hair and this one works for me but I may try the Kinky Curly or go back to As I Am. I don't remember how the As I Am products were. I just remember they were expensive. Lol. But I'll try them again to see if my hair responds any differently. Thanks again!
What product is the whipped buttery one? I don’t see it linked. Can I have the product’s name,please?
Love your videos, please do a video on hard water!
Can you please list a mist, lotion and butter for moisturisers please?. Thank you
So glad I found your channel! Especially since you have similar hair to mine: high porosity, fine hair :). woohoo♥
I can’t find that tresseme 2 in 1 in the store!
I need to try that African pride Pre poo.. so many people rave about it.. I am currently using Ambunu herbs and loving it
It’s sooooo good! Slip for days!
I tried it and am so happy with it. The slip is amazing and my hair stays so moisturized when shampooing.
Yup I use it when I have emergency situation and have hair matted so I put it on tangled hair then use my hot head cap for 30min in the shower there is less tugging and shedding thanks to this!!
I really feel like its just me but for me the African Pride pre-poo has zero slip for my hair. I have to use soooo much product and even then it struggles to detangle my high porosity bleached hair. I have started using it after I shampoo and mixing it with my conditioner as I do find it very hydrating so at least it isn't going to waste.
Great video Fopes! Thank you!! My 4c coils are popping with the KCCC and the curl love moisture milk! 😍😍😍👌🏾👌🏾
This👏 is 👏what👏 we 👏love👏 to 👏hear! 👏
Hi Afope!!! Came across this video and it was very helpful. I do have a question if you don't mind.
Say one does their own DIY deep conditioning protein treatments at home, after having left such in the hair for whatever amount of time, then wash out, does one STILL apply the deep conditioner after? Or does the DIY deep conditioning protein treatment done earlier suffice? I'd appreciate it if you could grant me some clarity here. Thanks!
Whats in the (Faahri) Whipped Buttercreme hair?? Can’t seem to find it, looking for a replacement.
I am curious, do you rate the Shea Moisture hair care range at all please? 🤔💙🙏🏻🕊🌞
Love your channel very very much. My problem is can relaxed hair stick to your regimen
maam what is the hair butter you used in between the leave in and the plant gels?
Your videos are a God send! So informative and clear. Love your channel
Thanks Chantelle 🥰🙏🏽
Hi, what's the name of the butter you showed? Or which would u recommend?
Can you review/ do a video on conditioners too please. Or are you more for shampoo and then deep condition. Thanks in advance. I love your videos!
I just did a clay mask on her for the first time with the bentonite only 🤷🏽♀️ may have to try it with the other clay as well
How did it work?
@@AfopeAtoyebi it worked pretty good brought her hair back to life for sure! cause It was looking ruff, she was gone with her dad for 2mths and wasn't keeping up with her hair😒😒
So happy to have found you. Please keep up these informative video’s!
Hey, is the light whipped butter homemade ? x
Came across your channel 2 days ago, amazing ! Soaking the knowledge, since cutting my hair off the 2nd time now.
Why not just do the aphogee 2 minute reconstructor? The 2 step is more when you use heat often or if hair is color treated.
What do you think about ayurvedic treatments? Have you tried any like Henna?
Excellent video.
Love your vids 💜
Question we have Tresseme 3 in 1 in Canada and it was my first time using because you said it chelates.I have grey hair and have been struggling with this brownish tinge on the ends of my hair . When I tell you it is gone, after one wash and I have used every type of purple shampoo snd it didn’t work. The reason I am writing.. there are claims of Treaseme lawsuits, balding and scalp irritations. What are your thoughts or views in this? You are so knowledgeable snd I trust your expertise. Let me know what you think. Thanks
What's the name of your whipped butter, if you don't mind sharing, please?
Is your whipped cream available for purchase ?! 😍
Very informative! Would the camille rose suggestions work for low porosity hair too?
Tbh a lot of these products are too expensive for me. Anyone have any affordable hair product suggestions?
What hair type do you have and what are your hair goals?
@@SautariX I'm somewhere in between 2c and 3a. And I want smooth curls that aren't frizzy
I learned how to coupon at cvs and I get all Camille rose products for $5 and under ..
I very recently found your channel and have binged so many of your vids that I started talking w/ a British accent. 😝😆😝 But seriously, would you pls elaborate on why you don't use a pre-poo w/ every wash day? I have dry, high porosity 4C and thought pre-poo was essential for every wash day, , even if you have reached max hydration. Thanks!
This was so helpful! I’m going to try some of these products hopefully they work
What if you have locs like I do and a itchy scalp. any advice on that?
Just learned so much 🙌 I've read many times that you need standard conditioners after deep conditioners in order to close your cuticles? Is that true?
I wonder why my hair hates as I am cowash? Can anyone advice
You deserve way more subscribers. Great content :)
12:50 definitely 🎯💯💯
Did it work for you too?!
Definitely really need this
Heyy hun, love your channel
Yaaay! Perfect timing! 🥳💓
Question! I’ve noticed some conditioning products are labeled as suitable to leave in as well as rinse out. I have a conditioner I really like but is not necessarily labeled as one that can be left in. What are your thoughts about leaving in some conditioner after washing?
I want to do a protein treatment. Can I do a pre-poo after the protein treatment or after?
Would you change any of these products in accordance to dew points and humidity during the summer weather for high porosity hair?
I think it's better to use products without humectant in a highly humid weather. Eg.15°C or 60°F and above.
My daughter is high porosity this is so very helpful!! I struggle with her hair so much its always so dry😔 I'm trying though lol
Keep going! Really hope this helps! 🥰
@@AfopeAtoyebi It really does!!! 🤗 Thank you
I like the method you used for ceiling in moisture, but are there any other products in addition to the Camille rose and the kinky curly?
I see a lot of people mention the uncle funkys daughter curly magic gel which is also a plant gel. But you have to find the old formula with ZERO protein in the ingredient list
Does it matter if the coconut oil is refined or unrefined?
