You're the only natural youtuber I actually really really trust. And plus you're Nigerian which helps because I'm Liberian. Idk I just find it easier to trust Africans. You just seem like a normal person and not someone who's faking everything for views. AND you're funny. AND you're 4c. Girlll....
Michelle Nesbith-Sykes: wash/condition and rinse your hair in big chunky twists section by section really helps ALOT. Detangle when u pre-poo just as in the video. if u r not doing that already u need to start. makes your life so much better. I don't know what styles u like but I find mini twisting my hair after washing is so easy and my hair loves it. I like twist outs on my short hair. . but being that yr hair is long u could also turn your twists into an updo which lasts a week or more. I've learnt to make my wash day as easy and enjoyable as possible.
I finger detangle in the shower. That is what takes the most time because I have to be gentle. I'm just getting lazy with my hair. School and all taking up my time.
Lolll it's like when an African mum calls your name 3 times, you know it's serious. So many so called TH-cam gurus should watch this vid, they be doing DC before shampoo and say there is no difference.
At first I thought pre-pooing was a joke/waste of time and product. However, after trying it just ONCE my wash day shedding/breaking hair went from clogging the drain to barely noticeable! I'm a believer! Also, as far as moisturizing, I have found that I have to use my heat cap after I put on my glycerin in order for the moisture to last several days. If i don't then it's like I didn't put anything on...yes, I have low porosity hair.
Danielle Andrews thank you for this comment! I’m about to pre-pooing and wash my hair and seeing that it helped with your breakage and shedding is great! Thanks!!
Hey My Loves, *Key points not mentioned in video* I hope you enjoy this video. I discuss what I think are the basic steps that should be included into a wash day. Feel free to modify as needed for your hair. These are suggestions that you can use for your wash day. I added time stamps in the description box if you need to jumps to certain sections. After each step I do rinse. So I do rinse with lukewarm after steps 1 to 4. While doing step 4 I use lukewarm water after I am done with it I finish with a tea rinse (washday booster) and then final rinse that out with lukewarm to cool water. I dont do cold water rinses it doesn't work well on my low porosity hair because low porosity already has lowered cuticles. I let my hair air dry to about 80% then I loc. When it comes to wash day its more about the steps you do and the technique you use to do it. Its not so much about the products. You could have a wash day with cheap products like V05 shampoo/conditioner or Suave Shampoo/conditioner and be on your happy way. Or you can use products that are more rich and natural that is fine as well!! Just make sure whatever you use do with the technique and order for your hair thrives!!! xoxoxo
NappyFu TV Can you do a haul of your favorite hair products? Could you also do a basics video ? Like how often to do a hot oil treatment,trim,and deep condition.
Pre poo/hot oil treatment Shampoo (sometimes I add ACV after shampooing just to get that extra oomf) Rinse out conditioner (to detangle) Deep conditioner Moisture/seal and style Simple and short!
I mastered a simple wash day. Not a day at all! Prepoo with aloe vera, oils and herbs overnight. That detangles the hair. Next day: wash, deep condition. Wash in twists and by using good products hair comes out detangled. Then LOC and style. Easy!
4evrblssd i use Lily of the desert ' s Aloe Vera gel because it's what i usually have on hand. When i started I would mix the gel with amla and fenugreek powder, castor and neem oil. that is still the base i use but at times will add brahmi, shikakai, onion juice, ACV. I want to try to use hibiscus powder also. So you see, i play with it, but just using the base mix gives me great results.
You are officially my captain save a curl. My 39 years on this earth my hair has never felt nourished until today my second round of pre pooping. Last week It was a solid effort but I messed up a few steps now this week I know better and I have ALL the appropriate products. It is like I'm putting my fingers in someone else's scalp. ZERO tangles ZERO breakage. I think I lost a hair. I'm so happy I could cry. I did a few things per your suggestion in other videos for moisturizing
I loved this so much. My hair is the same, so it tangles when I blink....wrap around kinks and curls. With all that said, I don't pre-poo anymore. I detangle in the shower before I wash. I never thought I'd be that girl, but it works and saves time. I do everything else out of the shower & twist it up in the end.
I didn’t have a wash day routine. I’m new to being natural and taking care of my hair. I’m so glad I found you, along with other tubers and taught me so much.
I needed this. Today is wash day and thanks to your tips my hair is thriving. However with length comes greater responsibility and more time. I turn to you when I'm feeling rushed and the desire to cut off the mane. Thanks again for another great video NappyFu!
nappyfu can you do a time lasped styles video? to show how styles hold up throughout the day. I think so many natural hairstyles are cute but my experience has been that they expire quickly and sometimes look so unkempt by days end.
Mel S that's a great idea! There are a lot of videos about gorgeous hairstyles but the "maintenance through the week" part is often missing. I just recently found a weekly routine that works for me and I did not see it on YT. I usually see women who don't add anything to their hair for an entire week (=hair dry as a freaking desert for me) or women who retwist their hair mid-week after moisturizing it or worse every night (=way too time consuming and too much manipulation for me)
Tomorrow I finally take my hair out of the protective styles I’ve kept it in for almost 3 years. Thank you so much for making this video leading me in the right direction. Fingers crossed it won’t be a complete disaster since I’ve never personally handled my own natural hair before.
My hair is just like yours with a super soft curl added into the mix. I identify with everything you speak about with 4c hair. My wash day involves month old hair that is full of products like coconut/honey hair creme, mineral/mixed blend olive oil and all the other moisturizing products that keeps my hair from smelling. Okay - then washday consists of a black soap cucumber bar, rinse with plaits still in, that coconut/honey creme, reband plaits for stretching, make neat, cover with a satin type scarf, and let air dry!!
Since I do quite a bit of pro-styles I enjoy wash day. It allows me to "play" in my hair. My wash day is fairly simple: Shampoo; protein/DC;Detangle; LCO; blow dry (air drying gets me sick, sinus issues. My hair likes simplicity and has been thriving from it.
I shampoo, then deep condition and then use my rinse out conditioner. I feel like the dc penetrates better when there is no layer on the hair from the rinse out conditioner, and after deep conditioning I use a rinse out conditioner because I feel like it smoothes the cuticle a bit more and I've always done it like this.
I just big chopped on a whim after transitioning for a year. I don't really have a "routine" yet because I don't really have products yet. It's been less than a week so I've really only washed it then conditioned it and detangled with my conditioner. It's been great so far. I'm watching as many videos as I can and reading up so I can build a routine
My washday routine is similar to your except I DC a lot shorter than you do. I used to D.C. for hours like the natural hair community recommends but then I have really fine 4c hair and my hair would get overly soft and mushy and breakage prone. Now I D.C. for no longer than 15minutes and I think my hair likes that a lot better and feels a lot more resilient on wash day. My washday routine is that I prepoo always with an oil (thanks for putting me on to that) and I wear a shower cap and let the oil marinade for a bit, then I detangle because my super fine hair is not down with manipulation when wet, then i shampoo loose hair and deep condition in large twists, rinse, t-shirt dry, then moisturizer and seal and airdry. I'm going to try the oil before t-shirt drying thing you said.
My wash day: 1. I prepoo by rubbing raw aloe vera plant on my scalp and sweet almond oil on my hair. 2. I wash with a clarifying shampoo the next day 3 I finger detangle in the shower with conditioner 4. I use a deep conditioner 5. Then LOC and style and air dry. I've never dried my hair before LOC. Will try that. About to try ayurvedic again: mixing henna, amla and shakakai in olive oil, leave it overnight mixed in my deep conditioner. I stopped because of laziness...but my hair thrived when I did it in the past. BTW....I love your channel.
It's so refreshing to find an ACTUAL 4C youtuber!!! Honestly there aren't many I can find! I was losing hope and have just been #braidgang for months now! Do you have any videos on caring for your hair while in braids at all? And you're an igbo sister too!! Much love and appreciation from London xxx
Great detailed video as usual. One correction! > Coarse is the texture (how rough ones hair is) not thickness. Thick is the size of the strand. Density is the volume. I have coarse AND semi-thick hair. Which again, means that I have fairly rough & dry hair when I run my finger down the shaft. I know ur very knowledgeable abt hair just be careful what certain terms truly mean.
Thanks for another great video NappyFu!! It was so fun and informative that I didn't mind the length :) I used to hate wash days but now that I have a solid regimen I LOVE it! My wash routine is: pre-poo, finger detangle, shampoo with scalp brush, detangle with denman brush when rinsing out shampoo, tea or oil rinse (but I don't rinse it out yet), deep condition (that's when I rinse everything out), spray my hair with my water and aloe vera juice mix, t-shirt dry, then LOC and style. I like the idea of putting oil on my hair before the t-shirt for protection. I'm also going to try using lukewarm water instead of cold after my DC since I have low porosity hair and see if that makes a difference. The only thing I haven't done yet is get a hooded dryer for my DC. I just put on a plastic shower cap and wrap a towel around it to generate heat. Sorry this comment is so long - I hope it helps someone!
Great vid!!!! Very informative. I wouldn't call my wash day simple but nevertheless these are my steps. 1) Pre-poo with coconut oil & vitamin e oil + peppermint oil on my scalp overnight (I also do some finger detangling) 2) Shampoo 3) Condition with a conditioner and oil mixture (i use this time to do my detangling) 4) Deep conditioning 5) LOC/LCO method. throughout the process i keep my hair in twists.
I was with either bentonite clay or shampoo, detangle with a rinse out conditioner, warm up my deep conditioner on the stove ( I recently discovered that warm water and warm products penetraate my hair so much better because of my low porosity), let sit for about 45 minutes then rinse with warm water. From there I do the LOC or LCO and proceed with my day!
I love washing my hair, I usually wash twice a week. I usually don't prepoo. I shampoo twice usually with selsun blue, then condition or deep condition. I alternate with the Giovanni deep moisture conditioner, various Shea moisture masks, and mane n tail original formula. Then I style. If I do a wash n go, I put on a leave in and a little olive oil and add gel. If I do a braid/twist out I let my hair dry in chunky twists and style about an hour later. My naked hair doesn't take long to dry at all.
From one Naija sister to another, I just dey gbadun your Naija accent o! It's one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel, lol. Thanks for this: just decided to commit to a weekly wash routine after months of neglect and hair breakage (my Mom was sick so I couldn't be bothered to take care of myself: Thank God, she's fine now!). Your video, as always, is really handy and will be a very useful resource to restoring my hair. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have thick, 2a, brown hair but I recently had it died blonde and ooooo girl, my locks need some love, some TLC. My hair has been so dry, so glad I found this hair routine even though it wasn't necessarily targeted at me. I found it so helpful
Love your routine. I do a lot of this for my clients. Half of them think I'm crazy for saying that their hair speaks to me. I'm so glad I found your channel.
I love your videos I use your information for my sisters hair because she is the only one in the family with 4c hair so it’s difficult so I thank god for your channel
Wow! Thank you! You had me at step #5 & #6. Only saw one other TH-cam support the fact that not all hair can be moisturized when it is wet. New subbie here. Look forward to more!
Hello Nappyfu, this is to say thank you for all your advices. I have experienced the does on wash day and it was waou. For the first time since 2013 that I am back to natural, I lost a QUATER of what I used to lost. I am trying to respect this routine since 4 months only. I tried twice the wash n go, they were waou. I experienced finger detangling too. Wonderful ! I can follow someone who has the same type of hair than me. THANKS AND THANKS.
It's easy, peasy, beautiful natural girl. haHA! My wash day does not always start with prepoo, I don't really notice a difference, so I do it sometimes. I shampoo, deep condition for that moisture, then rinse out condition for detangling, then I LOC and let air dry. Same steps just shuffled a little bit.
Thanks for the detailed info. If you don't won't your hair to tangle, you'll have to walk around looking surprised all the time, lol. Seriously, l love all your videos.
Yaasss I had my wash day yesterday and as the video was playing I was just ticking off all these steps😜proud of myself that I did them😁 thank you I learnt 'em from you😜 and my hair is thrivin'🙋🙋🙋 p.s. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 9ja Yoruba girl represent!
I have a tapered TWA so fortunately, I have a wash routine not a wash day looool. Step 1/ I prepoo my hair the night before with coconut oil (Coconut oil is supposed to take 14hours to penetrate the hair). Step 2/ I clean my scalp with shampoo or rhassoul clay (I let the rhassoul sit for a few minutes on my hair to mzke it as effective as a shampoo). Step 3/ I apply some heavy oil (castor, palm) then my conditioner (I don't like the way my hair feel when I just apply conditioner that's why I add oils). Step 4/ I detangle with finger combing first then using a regular wide-tooth comb to remove shed hair (I'm VERY gentle during that step cuz I have SUPER fine hair. Before, I only used my fingers but my hair was always SUPER tangled). Step 5/ I put a plastic cap and let my hair marinate with the conditioner. Step 6/After rinsing my condtioner I moisturize my hair, twist it and put my satin scarf until my hair is dry (If i don't put my satin scarf right after moisturizing it gets dry and frizzy.)
Oh so knowledgeable you are! I just love it & you! My hair has thrived as well from watching you & my own research of course... Thanks a lot for taking the time to educate, help us naturals out! You rock 🙌🏾👌🏾😆😎🤓🙏🏾💃🏾💁🏾
ok my wash day consists of 1. hot oil treatment ( Olive oil and sometimes coconut oil) 2. shampoo with a a sulfate shampoo(Vatika naturals Garlic shampoo) 3. Follow up with a moisturizing shampoo sulfate free (shea moisture manuka). 4. Protein treatment (organics hair mayo or Aubrey organics GPB)when needed. 5. Deep condition 6. leave in ( Kinky Kashmere all in one condish) and finger detangle i just started doing finger detangling last month and i like it
Because of your tips in a video I think from last year - I do everything you do. My hair has thrived. I have recently switched to LCO instead of LOC and I do see the difference. I think on Saturday - my dreaded wash day - yes I still don't love wash day - I am going to try LCOB. I will then go into a kinky twist protective style for a few weeks. We will see how it goes. Thank you again.
NEW SUBBIE!!! because we have the same exact hair texture, I trust that I can't go wrong with your helpful tips. Without realizing it, before I found your channel, I did the same exact steps yesterday, that you've provided, and I must tell you, my hair thanked me so much, it is my new wash day routine! Thank you ! You're a hair saver lol
your hair has been looking crazy long recently, goals!!! today is my wash day as well, love the refresher to give me motivation to wash and moisturize properly!
My wash day routine Shampoo I add to my deep conditioner 2tbs of Black castor oil 5 drops on tea tree oil and 1/2 tbs of avocado oil then I use the L.C.O. method and flat twist my hair :)
I have 4C coily kinky coarse hair, how often should I wash my hair ? Once a week? Every 2 weeks ? Help !! Thanks! you are the best!! I'm slowly embracing my natural hair and you are helping me so much. 4C is beautiful !
Fight detangled lightly on dry hair, section it off, shampoo, deep condition, finger detangle lightly, LCO and I usually braid and Bantu knot it to dry stretched.
I suffer from osteo- and psoriatic arthritis in all my joints, so wash day has to be a 2 day process for me. Day 1 starts with my pre-poo and detangling session with my coconut/olive oil mix; followed by my shampoo and rinse out conditioner (creature of habit). Then I apply my deep conditioner (out of the shower) and wrap my hair for the night. The next day, I spritz my hair thoroughly with warm water and sit under wither my hooded dryer (if I can get my blow dryer back from my daughter's house) or my heated cap for about 30 minutes. Then it's rinse and follow with my L.S.G.O. or L.S.G.B. system (leave-in, styler, gel, oil OR leave-in, styler, gel and butter). It's complex and takes a bit, but it allows me to manage my 4C hair without having to trust it in the hands of a stylist that doesn't love my hair and want to protect it like I do. In the 7 years since I've been natural, there is only one stylist I have let near my hair. If I can't get to her, I call her to find out what I should be doing. I'm almost 52 and my hair has never been this long (about 19" in front, 17" in back) in my life and I'll do nothing to ruin it.
It's a long video but it's so full of information you don't even realize it's long..
+April Harris awwwww thank you!
"Hair that tangles when you blink" girrrrl!!! haha I love you (:
Allie Wonders I know having trouble.I do trims . I just keep it in twisted bun. making some progress with keeping length
Loooool!!! The struggle is real!

"I Blink, it tangles" 😭😂
Sährä Banära I was like "IKR!" 4c hair don't play
This is a true life statement 😂😂
You're the only natural youtuber I actually really really trust. And plus you're Nigerian which helps because I'm Liberian. Idk I just find it easier to trust Africans. You just seem like a normal person and not someone who's faking everything for views. AND you're funny. AND you're 4c. Girlll....
JWah_Love1 I'm😂I thought you meant you worked in A library 😂😂😂😂I'm sorry
I love my wash days....it's the time I get to pamper and look after my hair with TLC. our hair is our beauty so i love it!!
As my hair gets longer, I hate wash days. I need some your motivation.
Michelle Nesbith-Sykes: wash/condition and rinse your hair in big chunky twists section by section really helps ALOT. Detangle when u pre-poo just as in the video. if u r not doing that already u need to start. makes your life so much better. I don't know what styles u like but I find mini twisting my hair after washing is so easy and my hair loves it. I like twist outs on my short hair. . but being that yr hair is long u could also turn your twists into an updo which lasts a week or more. I've learnt to make my wash day as easy and enjoyable as possible.
I finger detangle in the shower. That is what takes the most time because I have to be gentle. I'm just getting lazy with my hair. School and all taking up my time.
Michelle Nesbith-Sykes I totally understand. it's tough studying. but stay determined. you've obviously come a long way. Good luck.
Thanks for all your advice.
I actually enjoy wash day now that I have my routine down.
on cleansed hair! on cleansed hair!! on cleansed hair!!!
Lolll it's like when an African mum calls your name 3 times, you know it's serious. So many so called TH-cam gurus should watch this vid, they be doing DC before shampoo and say there is no difference.
Trinity_ NubianQueen 😂😂😂😂 exactly!!!!
At first I thought pre-pooing was a joke/waste of time and product. However, after trying it just ONCE my wash day shedding/breaking hair went from clogging the drain to barely noticeable! I'm a believer!

NappyFu TV I love VO5 shampoo and conditioner!
NappyFu TV Can you do a haul of your favorite hair products? Could you also do a basics video ? Like how often to do a hot oil treatment,trim,and deep condition.
Desiree Mixon In the description box she has a list of her staple products actually :-)
Thanks for mentioning this and noticing it.
Basics on these extra routines will be coming eventually. Some of those I have individual videos on such as trimming.
Your hair is growing beautifully sis
MusicAndme78 ty!!!
Pre poo/hot oil treatment
Shampoo (sometimes I add ACV after shampooing just to get that extra oomf)
Rinse out conditioner (to detangle)
Deep conditioner
Moisture/seal and style
Simple and short!

Anne El what herbs do you use to pre-poo?.. do you blend the aloe vera straight from the plant to ypur oil and herb mixture?
4evrblssd i use Lily of the desert ' s Aloe Vera gel because it's what i usually have on hand.

@@anneel8115 u leave onion juice in over night? Any negative effects to doing that.
Adaiyah-Zerah Baht Yahudah I no longer use onion juice. I was using it for my itchy scalp and I find aloe Vera and bentonite clay work better
NappyFu, girl your hair is FLOURISHING
This vid was right on time
I'm so glad I've found someone who has the same hair texture
You are officially my captain save a curl. My 39 years on this earth my hair has never felt nourished until today my second round of pre pooping.

I feel ya... ready to schedule a haircut appointment... line of demarcation between healthy roots and heat-damaged hairends
How long does it take to your next wash day?
I love my hair now that I've been natural for a bit now. I'm not 4C, nor do I know what type I am, but I watch you because you're funny and nice❤💙💚💛💜
nappyfu can you do a time lasped styles video? to show how styles hold up throughout the day. I think so many natural hairstyles are cute but my experience has been that they expire quickly and sometimes look so unkempt by days end.
+Mel S hmmmm maybe so but I protective style mostly. So I'll see what I can. Work out.
NappyFu TV thanks!
Mel S that's a great idea! There are a lot of videos about gorgeous hairstyles but the "maintenance through the week" part is often missing. I just recently found a weekly routine that works for me and I did not see it on YT.

I have pin straight hair that takes tons of time to curl and I just love watching these videos, I get hooked on them every night xDDD
Same girl even though my hair is pin straight following these routines has helped mine so much tho!
Since I do quite a bit of pro-styles I enjoy wash day. It allows me to "play" in my hair. My wash day is fairly simple: Shampoo; protein/DC;Detangle; LCO; blow dry (air drying gets me sick, sinus issues. My hair likes simplicity and has been thriving from it.
Have you heard od a "Therapy cap"? its cordless.....Gives life!
I don't even have 4c hair but i love all your videos so I can resist. Thanks for your tips!
honestly girl, the longer the video THE BETTER!! love ya girl!!! 😙😀😄
I’m struggling w/ my brittle 4C, but watching your vids give me hope. Thx! 🌺
Sunday! Perfect day 🙇🏿♀️
I shampoo, then deep condition and then use my rinse out conditioner. I feel like the dc penetrates better when there is no layer on the hair from the rinse out conditioner, and after deep conditioning I use a rinse out conditioner because I feel like it smoothes the cuticle a bit more and I've always done it like this.
DCs tend to not have silicones while rinse outs do so that could be another reason.
I just big chopped on a whim after transitioning for a year. I don't really have a "routine" yet because I don't really have products yet. It's been less than a week so I've really only washed it then conditioned it and detangled with my conditioner. It's been great so far. I'm watching as many videos as I can and reading up so I can build a routine
Hey love. I loced up but I still use your technique for my girls. i alwayz send people to your channel because you are the truth.
My washday routine is similar to your except I DC a lot shorter than you do. I used to D.C. for hours like the natural hair community recommends but then I have really fine 4c hair and my hair would get overly soft and mushy and breakage prone. Now I D.C. for no longer than 15minutes and I think my hair likes that a lot better and feels a lot more resilient on wash day. My washday routine is that I prepoo always with an oil (thanks for putting me on to that) and I wear a shower cap and let the oil marinade for a bit, then I detangle because my super fine hair is not down with manipulation when wet, then i shampoo loose hair and deep condition in large twists, rinse, t-shirt dry, then moisturizer and seal and airdry. I'm going to try the oil before t-shirt drying thing you said.
My wash day:
1. I prepoo by rubbing raw aloe vera plant on my scalp and sweet almond oil on my hair.
2. I wash with a clarifying shampoo the next day
3 I finger detangle in the shower with conditioner
4. I use a deep conditioner
5. Then LOC and style and air dry. I've never dried my hair before LOC. Will try that.
About to try ayurvedic again: mixing henna, amla and shakakai in olive oil, leave it overnight mixed in my deep conditioner. I stopped because of laziness...but my hair thrived when I did it in the past.
BTW....I love your channel.
Watching you do your wash day routine gives me hope and motivation to get up and wash my own hair
nappyfu u is a dam fool😂😂😂😂😂😂😂that face tho wen u wuz jammin. mannn i had 2 replay this multiple times.
Look at that length!! Your hair is looking so good!
It's so refreshing to find an ACTUAL 4C youtuber!!! Honestly there aren't many I can find! I was losing hope and have just been #braidgang for months now!
Do you have any videos on caring for your hair while in braids at all?
And you're an igbo sister too!! Much love and appreciation from London xxx
I'm half natural and permed so I know all about that tangle! 😂
+Mydreamworld lol I transitioned too that line of demarcation is no joke!!
NappyFu TV it's not.
What products did you use for the transition cause I be wanting to throw my whole head out the window
Like the border between North and South Korea! The tension is real!
that's what made me go from transitioning to the big chop. I lost all my patience lol
im so not trying to chop i think. lol
Great detailed video as usual. One correction! > Coarse is the texture (how rough ones hair is) not thickness. Thick is the size of the strand. Density is the volume. I have coarse AND semi-thick hair. Which again, means that I have fairly rough & dry hair when I run my finger down the shaft. I know ur very knowledgeable abt hair just be careful what certain terms truly mean.
I never really had a routine before... cheap shampoo and conditioner. You have educated me Sis and you're all up in my mind. Thank you
Thanks for another great video NappyFu!! It was so fun and informative that I didn't mind the length :) I used to hate wash days but now that I have a solid regimen I LOVE it! My wash routine is: pre-poo, finger detangle, shampoo with scalp brush, detangle with denman brush when rinsing out shampoo, tea or oil rinse (but I don't rinse it out yet), deep condition (that's when I rinse everything out), spray my hair with my water and aloe vera juice mix, t-shirt dry, then LOC and style. I like the idea of putting oil on my hair before the t-shirt for protection. I'm also going to try using lukewarm water instead of cold after my DC since I have low porosity hair and see if that makes a difference. The only thing I haven't done yet is get a hooded dryer for my DC. I just put on a plastic shower cap and wrap a towel around it to generate heat. Sorry this comment is so long - I hope it helps someone!
A TRUE 4C Video! Thanks so much!
Great vid!!!! Very informative. I wouldn't call my wash day simple but nevertheless these are my steps. 1) Pre-poo with coconut oil & vitamin e oil + peppermint oil on my scalp overnight (I also do some finger detangling) 2) Shampoo 3) Condition with a conditioner and oil mixture (i use this time to do my detangling) 4) Deep conditioning 5) LOC/LCO method. throughout the process i keep my hair in twists.
Today is my wash day. God bless you.
I was with either bentonite clay or shampoo, detangle with a rinse out conditioner, warm up my deep conditioner on the stove ( I recently discovered that warm water and warm products penetraate my hair so much better because of my low porosity), let sit for about 45 minutes then rinse with warm water. From there I do the LOC or LCO and proceed with my day!
So GLAD WE FOUND YOU 😍😍😍our 4c hair prayers are ANSWERED!!!
Lol awwwww thank you Jxl. But I dont think I am the answer. Its you hun. All of use individually are.
I really like you and your videos, I don’t comment a lot but I watch them regularly. You’re so genuine so legit
I love washing my hair, I usually wash twice a week. I usually don't prepoo. I shampoo twice usually with selsun blue, then condition or deep condition. I alternate with the Giovanni deep moisture conditioner, various Shea moisture masks, and mane n tail original formula. Then I style. If I do a wash n go, I put on a leave in and a little olive oil and add gel. If I do a braid/twist out I let my hair dry in chunky twists and style about an hour later. My naked hair doesn't take long to dry at all.
From one Naija sister to another, I just dey gbadun your Naija accent o! It's one of the reasons I keep coming back to your channel, lol. Thanks for this: just decided to commit to a weekly wash routine after months of neglect and hair breakage (my Mom was sick so I couldn't be bothered to take care of myself: Thank God, she's fine now!). Your video, as always, is really handy and will be a very useful resource to restoring my hair. Thank you so much!
Can we talk about how long your hair is?😍 the shrinkage is real! great tips😊
Your hair has grown beautifully
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have thick, 2a, brown hair but I recently had it died blonde and ooooo girl, my locks need some love, some TLC. My hair has been so dry, so glad I found this hair routine even though it wasn't necessarily targeted at me. I found it so helpful
Love your routine. I do a lot of this for my clients. Half of them think I'm crazy for saying that their hair speaks to me. I'm so glad I found your channel.
Thank u so much!!!
I love your videos I use your information for my sisters hair because she is the only one in the family with 4c hair so it’s difficult so I thank god for your channel
Wow! Thank you! You had me at step #5 & #6. Only saw one other TH-cam support the fact that not all hair can be moisturized when it is wet. New subbie here. Look forward to more!
Hello Nappyfu, this is to say thank you for all your advices. I have experienced the does on wash day and it was waou. For the first time since 2013 that I am back to natural, I lost a QUATER of what I used to lost. I am trying to respect this routine since 4 months only. I tried twice the wash n go, they were waou. I experienced finger detangling too. Wonderful !
I can follow someone who has the same type of hair than me.
THANKS AND THANKS.
It's easy, peasy, beautiful natural girl. haHA! My wash day does not always start with prepoo, I don't really notice a difference, so I do it sometimes. I shampoo, deep condition for that moisture, then rinse out condition for detangling, then I LOC and let air dry. Same steps just shuffled a little bit.
Your the best since I've been following you my hair has grown so long. It's absolutely amazing if you follow these steps you will have healthy hair.
Saw another 4c video who recommended BLOW-DRYING her hair! I prefer air-drying like U! New subby
I love this video because everything you do I do with my own hair and my children’s hair as well
Thanks for the detailed info. If you don't won't your hair to tangle, you'll have to walk around looking surprised all the time, lol. Seriously, l love all your videos.
Yaasss I had my wash day yesterday and as the video was playing I was just ticking off all these steps😜proud of myself that I did them😁 thank you I learnt 'em from you😜 and my hair is thrivin'🙋🙋🙋
p.s. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 9ja Yoruba girl represent!
If the video is fr an hr imma watch it n repeat it ×10 👌 ur great n u know Wat ur doing
I'm here for the jokes ☺️ you always make me laugh
Thick beautiful hair! Yes NF!!
so excited to see you uploading again !!!!!!!
I have a tapered TWA so fortunately, I have a wash routine not a wash day looool. Step 1/ I prepoo my hair the night before with coconut oil (Coconut oil is supposed to take 14hours to penetrate the hair). Step 2/ I clean my scalp with shampoo or rhassoul clay (I let the rhassoul sit for a few minutes on my hair to mzke it as effective as a shampoo). Step 3/ I apply some heavy oil (castor, palm) then my conditioner (I don't like the way my hair feel when I just apply conditioner that's why I add oils). Step 4/ I detangle with finger combing first then using a regular wide-tooth comb to remove shed hair (I'm VERY gentle during that step cuz I have SUPER fine hair. Before, I only used my fingers but my hair was always SUPER tangled). Step 5/ I put a plastic cap and let my hair marinate with the conditioner. Step 6/After rinsing my condtioner I moisturize my hair, twist it and put my satin scarf until my hair is dry (If i don't put my satin scarf right after moisturizing it gets dry and frizzy.)
Oh so knowledgeable you are! I just love it & you! My hair has thrived as well from watching you & my own research of course... Thanks a lot for taking the time to educate, help us naturals out! You rock 🙌🏾👌🏾😆😎🤓🙏🏾💃🏾💁🏾
ok my wash day consists of 1. hot oil treatment ( Olive oil and sometimes coconut oil) 2. shampoo with a a sulfate shampoo(Vatika naturals Garlic shampoo) 3. Follow up with a moisturizing shampoo sulfate free (shea moisture manuka). 4. Protein treatment (organics hair mayo or Aubrey organics GPB)when needed. 5. Deep condition 6. leave in ( Kinky Kashmere all in one condish) and finger detangle i just started doing finger detangling last month and i like it
your videos are so helpful!😭❤️
I don't have 4c hair but love your videos thank you for the discount code!
Because of your tips in a video I think from last year - I do everything you do. My hair has thrived. I have recently switched to LCO instead of LOC and I do see the difference. I think on Saturday - my dreaded wash day - yes I still don't love wash day - I am going to try LCOB. I will then go into a kinky twist protective style for a few weeks. We will see how it goes. Thank you again.
You have such beautiful hair. Thanks for the motivation to get up and get my wash day started! 😊
NEW SUBBIE!!! because we have the same exact hair texture, I trust that I can't go wrong with your helpful tips. Without realizing it, before I found your channel, I did the same exact steps yesterday, that you've provided, and I must tell you, my hair thanked me so much, it is my new wash day routine! Thank you ! You're a hair saver lol
You are truly my sis in my head. You actually sound like my cousin. Nice video. I love your channel. Your methods work. Thank you.
I try your wash day routine and my hair feels a lot better thank you for sharing

My wash day routine
Shampoo
I add to my deep conditioner 2tbs of Black castor oil 5 drops on tea tree oil and 1/2 tbs of avocado oil
then I use the L.C.O. method and flat twist my hair :)
Doing this my next wash day. .thank you!!
I am so glad that I stumbled on you! Now I love you🥰🥰...your hair is exactly like mine and you give so much information
This was honestly so helpful
I have 4C coily kinky coarse hair, how often should I wash my hair ? Once a week? Every 2 weeks ? Help !! Thanks! you are the best!! I'm slowly embracing my natural hair and you are helping me so much. 4C is beautiful !
Fight detangled lightly on dry hair, section it off, shampoo, deep condition, finger detangle lightly, LCO and I usually braid and Bantu knot it to dry stretched.
I suffer from osteo- and psoriatic arthritis in all my joints, so wash day has to be a 2 day process for me. Day 1 starts with my pre-poo and detangling session with my coconut/olive oil mix; followed by my shampoo and rinse out conditioner (creature of habit). Then I apply my deep conditioner (out of the shower) and wrap my hair for the night. The next day, I spritz my hair thoroughly with warm water and sit under wither my hooded dryer (if I can get my blow dryer back from my daughter's house) or my heated cap for about 30 minutes. Then it's rinse and follow with my L.S.G.O. or L.S.G.B. system (leave-in, styler, gel, oil OR leave-in, styler, gel and butter). It's complex and takes a bit, but it allows me to manage my 4C hair without having to trust it in the hands of a stylist that doesn't love my hair and want to protect it like I do. In the 7 years since I've been natural, there is only one stylist I have let near my hair. If I can't get to her, I call her to find out what I should be doing. I'm almost 52 and my hair has never been this long (about 19" in front, 17" in back) in my life and I'll do nothing to ruin it.
