- Hey my friends, in this video I share a special wash day experience when I reverted from a straight blowout to naturally curly hair. I explain how I use a protein treatment, clarifying shampoo and other products to get washngo results with super curl definition and excellent moisture retention.

I don't know why, but you, and a lot of African american women, look younger with natural curly hair.
Your curl pattern is beautiful.
Please don't take offense just something I noticed.
Hi I tried this technique today and my hair turned out shiny and soft, in the past it had always been dry when I would do a protein treatment even with conditioning afterwards so my hair probably doesn't like much protein, thanks so much for providing such great information!!
Hi,
I love video's where the content creator provide the viewers with detailed information about the process and also take the time to answer additional questions. Thank you very much.
I love your channel.
Thank you for always being so informative on natural hair care❤️
Love, love, love this video. You are always so informative. My hair is a mixture of low porosity/ high porosity but it never occurred to me to use different conditioners in those areas. Thank you for such a simple solution.
How do I make an appointment to have you style my hair? You are the BEST natural hair professional I've seen in NY...bar NONE!

you are a great instructor, I am white latin with low porosity protein sensitive hair, I use to have curly hair, now my curls are gone and all I have left with is this hair that lacks definition, not curly, not wavy not straight, just weird undefined shape, Ill try your method.
Thank You!
This video was very informative. A few months ago, I did a protein treatment, I think I was very heavy handed when I applied it to my hair. My hair felt like wire once I rinsed it out. After watching this video, I know better now. Thanks so much.
Love your videos!! So informative
This was very informative. Thank you.
awesome video. thanks so much abena!!!
Awesome instructions, thx.
Very informative vid. Quick question: why does slowing down the reversion process matter?
Embrace Natural Beauty. As a trichologist, what do you recommend for severe seborrheic dermatitis? any cures?
Thx 4 this video. I notice that you put protein treatment on dry hair then you added water......this makes the most sense.
So excited to watch your videos
Thank you for the response. Shea Moisture products is what is giving me problems. We are parting way in July. Thanks and please have a blessed day. P.s. I didn't know about overly protein until viewing your video and others. I enjoyed your video.
I need a one on one day with you and my hair. I really need help, do you know a stylists that can help me. I live 10 minutes from charolett nc.
How often for transitioning hair?
Do you think a protein is needed for low porosity hair to be healthy hair?
Great informative video. 🌀💞👍👍
Hi Abena. Do you not post your scopes anymore? I can't ever catch them live b/c of Sunday evening commitments, but I always enjoy them when I can watch.
Hi Erna, I am no longer uploading to TH-cam but you can watch the replays online at Periscope.tv/embracenbeauty
Great, thanks! I'm already catching up.
Hi Abena,
I noticed in this video you did not include a leave in conditioner. Have you replaced the Shea Butter leave in with the WonderCurl Butter or do you "typical" still use both products on your washngo's?
Hey Justalaina, I replaced the leave in with the Wonder Curl Butter Than Love Pudding a year ago!
Hi Abena, I have been following you for some time, not that long. I went natural about 1 yr. ago, but now I see that my ends well a little more than my ends are dry, should I cut them off (well I did that once already), or is there something you can suggest?
Thx
Trimming the ends is something I recommend to do regularly. The amount to be cut depends on the condition of your hair. How often depends on your growth rate and on the condition of your hair and the way you style your hair.
Do you follow the curly girl method since you are a deva stylist?
The crown of my hair is very low porosity and drier and coarser than the rest of my hair. Do you recommend using different products for that part of my hair??? I'm so frustrated. I'm considering getting a keratin treatment on that part of my hair. I'm hoping to find some other alternatives before I take such a drastic step.
I recommend using different products and different techniques to care for that challenging area of your hair. I have to handle my low porosity hair differently as well. In fact, I mentioned this in the video when I stated that I used the Shea Moisture Low Porosity Protein Free Conditioner to detangle my low porosity hair to avoid putting proteins on it.
Hi. I have a question. I have high porosity hair from genetics and not from bad hair practices as I don't use heat or color my hair, etc. I use protein treatments every week and use heavy moisturizes, butters and oils in an attempt to seal my hair and retain moisture. However, it seems like nothing is working and as soon as my hair dries after washing and the moisturizing process it feels dry. I also deep condition with every wash, I don't use sulfates and wash with cold water. Do you have any advice as to what I could to retain moisture ? I am at my wits end
Hi Michelle, yes I know that high porosity hair is extremely difficult to moisturize. I have a patch on both sides of my head in the front. Is the majority or all of your hair high porosity? how do you style your hair, basically your go to hair style? Have you tried the Shea Moisture High Porosity line?
The majority of my hair is high porosity. Some parts seem normal but for the most part it is high. Right now I keep my hair braided under wigs but I do moisturize every day sometimes twice a day. It feels soft for a while but as soon as my hair dries it feels as if I put nothing on. And no I haven't tried the Shea moisture line
Hello Embrace natural beauty I forgot to say that my hair itches a lot and flakes too. Am natural for three years now. I enjoyed your video and please have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing. As I mentioned in response to another one of your comments, It could be shea butter since that is the dominant ingredient in the products you have been using. I had a client who is adverse to shea butter in high concentration. And I shared that video here on my channel for this very reason.

i like using the Joico reconstructive every 4 to 6 weeks. it saved my hair. i follow with e Joico Ultimate Hydrator
It sounds like you are happy with the results you are getting with this regimen. What characteristics of your hair lead you to include this step and what changes do you see?
How do you know if you are protein sensitive? I believe I have low porosity hair, but the more I practice getting to a natural hair routine the more defined my curls are becoming and my hair just looks healthier. I do notice hair seems to like protein whether I make a diy with eggs or bananas or a store bought product. And I am learning to use less heat.
Same here I have low porosity hair. Every 6 weeks I do a protein treatment and my hair has been responding very well to it.
It's good to hear your hair is responding well to the products you are using. You may want to keep a journal and photograph even video of your progress. If you ever change products or your hair care regimen it would be good to have a record of what worked well for you. In answer to your question, I will do a video on how to determine protein sensitivity. I was working on it before this video so it is in progress.
That is great you are getting good results with protein treatment. Is the majority of your hair low porosity?
I have a question... I have my hair texlaxed, the relaxer wasn't left on for very long and I got it done by a professional. Ive been a bit insecure about my hair because I'm seeing everyone with their own texture meanwhile I have a loosened one because of the texlaxer. I go back and forth between this idea mainly because the front of my hair is very fine compared to the rest of my strong thick hair everywhere else. Does it make sense to just texlax the back of my hair from ear to ear to nape and just leave the front alone? Will that cause breakage issues? The last time I texlaxed was in February and i havent dealt with a lot of breakage just minimum to normal. I have low porosity hair thats about an inch or so past BSL ( i havent flat ironed yet so I'm not too sure on accuracy but lol ).
Hi, relaxing or texturizing is not something I recommend. However, your question has more to do with breakage not texture management. In terms of experiencing more damage, your hair is in danger if it is overprocessed, or if overlapping occurs. Additionally, your hair will be weaker at the line of demarcation. If you continue to see a professional for this application they should be able to see clearly where the line of demarcation is and not overlap the relaxer. According to your statement you have not experienced any breakage resulting from the last relaxer application, why are you concerned now? Also, you have managed to deal with approximately five months of new growth, why do you feel the need to reapply the texturizer?
Im concerned about breakage because I haven't texlaxed since February and I'm kinda wanting to stop texlaxing all together, but because of the line of demarcation I'm afraid of doing so.~ I was having issues before with trying to cut back on time with detangling my hair so I went for texlaxing as it would make it easier to detangle and I wouldnt spend two hours in the bathroom trying to work with my hair without ripping through it, I have never had any issues with breakage while texlaxing nor has my hair been over processed because of it. The front of my hair has just always been fine and a looser texture and I feel like the texlaxer didn't help with that.
From the sounds of it, you are not experiencing breakage, you're managing to care for your hair well. You and your stylist seem to be doing a good job so far. If she/he is comfortable texlaxing only the thicker portion of hair, the untouched portion will be just fine. It is always my hope that when you have a better understanding of how to manage your natural hair you will not feel the need to use chemicals to change it. But it is your hair and your decision. Whatever you decide to do I wish you the absolute best!
Thank you! I think i want to transition
Can you do my hair pleaseeeeeeee
Has anyone ever complained about oil sitting on their hair before? I applied oil to my hair after I washed it with KinkyCurly shampoo, and used a leave in. Also, I have kinky hair that doesn't feel dry. It has good elasticity but I can't achieve a good twist out definition that lasts. I'm always pulling my hair back. Any advice. I'm a professional and I'm tired of looking like an old school marme.
I don't use oils on my hair directly, it is usually mixed into the formulation of the products I use. Other individuals do experience oils sitting on their hair. I always recommend using oil on top of your moisturizer (leave in) as a sealant if you are going to apply oil to your hair. Which oil do you use?
+Embrace Natural Beauty There are times when I use Shea butter (in fact my hair loves it) but in this case I was using almond oil on top of my moisturizer to seal in moisture. I just want to say that because of you I have searched for a natural hair stylist and I made a consultation appt with her. This salon also has 2 trichologists Dr. Kerri Williams and another woman who she trained. So thank you for inspiring me to be mindful and proactive about my hair. I'm so frustrated, but I refuse to give up the hope of having healthy, stylish hair that I can manage.
Are you ghanaian? Because of your name hope you don't mind me asking just curious is all.
Do you use oil to seal at the end?
Hi there. What are the benefits of going through your hair with the fine tooth comb?
It helps to remove tangles that you miss when solely finger and wide tooth detangling. It also helps reduce the amount of loose hairs that were shed from causing more tangles, knots and eventually breakage. Loose shed hairs become more of an issue when the hair is long.
Ok great I'll start to incorporate. Thank you.
Thanks for clearing that up.....very helpful
Hi +embrace_natural_beauty, please discuss using clay to detoxify natural hair. What are your thoughts on using clay? would you recommend using clay? and have you ever used clay to detox your hair? thank you in advance for your response.
Hey Celeste, I don't use clay to detox my hair. But I have used the Wonder Curl Detoxifying clay cleanser. I have mentioned this product and demonstrated me using it in a couple of videos. The one on shampoos, my winter routine and the video on moisturizing low porosity hair extended version. That is at least 3 separate videos. Please note, the shampoo video is in need of an update. I hope this helps.
+Embrace Natural Beauty, I will search for the videos. I did see that Wonder Curl have a clay detoxify cleanser. I will try that. Thank you so much for responding :-)
hi...I've used the clay. It really has done wonders on my 4 c hair...it really cleans... leaves my mane...& defines my curls. Hope I was of help.
I noticed you did a pre poo with your protein treatment. Is that something you always do with protein treatments? If so, if you were to begin protein treatment on an old wash and go, would you repeat the same steps?
Hi KesandraC, I have done protein treatments prior to heatstyling to prepare the hair. That would be applied to clean, freshly washed hair. When I revert back to my natural I always start with a protein treatment applied directly to my straightened hair.
Embrace Natural Beauty Hi Abena, quick question: When you do a protein treatment before heat styling, do you follow with a moisture deep conditioner or regular conditioner? Or go to moisturizers and heat protectant?
do you have a vid on high porosity type?
Hi, I do not have a video specifically on high porosity hair. Is this something you struggle with?
+Embrace Natural Beauty yes. trying to keep it moisturized. I do a protein once monthly. I tried the loc and lco methods but after a couple of days I had to re moisturize. Now I use a little curl activator and it helps. But I want my hair to get to stage where I can ween of the activator.
What protein treatment do you use? What kind of results do you get?

Do you give advice only to natural hair or can Caucasians get advice from you too?
Hi Ginger, natural hair is my specialty. I am not sure if I am the right person for you to seek advice from. But it mainly depends on you question. What do you want to know?
