-Deep condition every week -Apply indirect heat while you deep condition -Low manipulation styles -Dont lay your edges all the time -Trim your hair at least every 3 months -take your time with your hair ex. Washing -keep your hair moisturized -if you have low porosity hair please apply heat for deep conditioner
I trimmed my hair to my chin and wore a closure wig for a month and kept my hair moisturized. When I tell you the growthhhhhh. Honestly your hair just wants to be be left alone and moisturized.
Girl you aren't lying it's so simple to grow your hair ppl don't even know lol you keep that shit moisturized and don't touch it watch it grow like wild fire
Contributing distilled (soft) water to make my veroy course 4b/4c hair soft and moisturized helped with growth I've never imagined while being under a wig for 1-2 years. Nothing but spraying under the cornrows before putting on wig, drench before going under the hard shower water and even dunk some or all on hair afterward. Wished more black people knew how great it is for our hair!
“protective” styling breaks my hair off. Find what works for y’all y’all. My hair started growing when I stopped watching all of these videos and started paying attention to my head
When I lived in a humid climate my hair was flourishing now that I’ve moved back to Cali with this hard ass water and dry air she (my hair) cries like everyday 😭😭😭😫
Alana Washington I’m so sorry 😭😭😭😭 people complain about humidity but this dry air ain’t no joke if you’re trying to be natural or naturally have dry skin
I hate to say it but i've been neglecting my hair since i big chopped it and guurl you just spoke mad facts on this vid 😩 so imma start doing as you say bc you got a beautiful head full of healthy, bouncy and luscious looking coils and i need me summ like that
It’s not the case for everyone. I found more length retention since stretching my washes to once a month. Indigenous strandz washes her hair once a month and has knee length 4b/c hair. She does not use store products, uses only 3 products. Everyone’s hair is different
@@solarlola5953 Indigenous strandz also keep her hair in twist which allows it to stay moisturize for longer she also wear turbans msot of the time and cleary don't have any scalp issues :) in contrario Caramel coils wears her hair out which make it more vulnerable. I'll say that It depends of the hair and which style is "your go to"
i’m a student and sometimes i just don’t have time to wash my hair every week and definitely not twice every week, personally i wash my hair every week to 2 weeks. 🤧
Girl you're absolutely right ✨ deep conditioning is the TRUTH. I deep conditioned my hair like three weeks in a row and my curls were popping without any curling cream or gel or anything
I agree 100%. I feel like since I only do my hair once a week I may as well deep condition, and take my time. It's my therapy and my time in the week that I do something relaxing and about my self care. Great vid!
Definitely deep condition your hair every time you wash it will make a huge difference in softness immediately and growth over time also be sure to moisturize daily. I'm natural as well and every since I've been using the method my hair has grown quickly I'm at 13 inches from about 6 in about a year n a half.
"and basically I'm bald" DRAMATIC LOL!!! Facts though, revisiting this video again because I felt like it + I just got a trim so yes to everything that was said
I hate when i get on here and see videos full of bull crap. I love this video!!! Best hair care/love vvideoi have seen!!! I tell people all the time, your hair is a living/breathing thing so treat it like a plant!! Love on it, talk to it, feed it and enjoy it. Your hair deserves a day of labor when it works for us everyday!!! Great tips!! I know hair and learned from this video!!!
Great video my love.😘 Btw for everyone complaining about the speed of the video. When you click on the top of the video, you’ll see 3 dots click on it choose playback speed then choose 0.75x for the speed.
I have a lot of thick brittle frizzy hair growth isn’t the problem it’s the texture I’m so tender headed like damn near everything hurts and it’s only curly when it’s wet wet
Can you do a video on how to properly moisturize your hair? Like how you were talking in your natural hair journey video? When your friend helped you, Sis I need some help!
I hear nothing but facts! Its called a journey for a reason. I still struggle to take my time when styling my hair and it's only 6-7 inches long. It's easier to be gentle when I prep my hair properly and take the steps to keep my har moisturized and detangled throughout every step.
my natural hair was a disaster because i thought wetting it (more than a mist) more than every three days was over kill. but no product was working and my hair was beyond dry and brittle. i have been wetting my hair everyday with hot ass water (i’m low po, heat is our friend) and my curls came right back to life. just saying that in case anyone else had an irrational fear of daily cowashes- i watched so many videos and researched and couldn’t find an answer. i’m 3b with course texture, so it’s not too too much work. but dry times ARE annoying. my hairs almost grown 2inches in 2months because i’m actually retaining growth.
Honestly just @ me sis 😂 I swear God is on my side because I haven't been treating my hair very well the way my schedule is set up but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things! 🤞🏽
I finally learned my lesson about slick backs, that last trim hurt 😩 I wear twist, braids, and wigs. if I do wear my hair out I just let it be a fro. I've noticed that the less ponytails and tied up styles i do when my hair is out, the better.
Thanks for this video! I’ve been on this transition hard since beginning of the year so nothing here was new for me but I love hearing it, it’s a great reinforcement! I’m on maternity leave right now, going back to work in January. I’ll have been off for an entire 4 months and it’s been fantastic for my hair because I’ve had designated wash days during the week when my husband is at work, and both kids are in daycare. Also because I’m home I can twist my hair day 1 then give it 2 days to dry (wearing slap caps for 2 days straight to avoid frizz and allow to dry naturally), then wear a twist out a day or 2, high pony/puff, then it’s time for wash day again. No idea what to do when I go back to work and I’m again wash daying on a weekend when I’ve got the kids and my husband here, then not having the luxury of slap caps which I can’t wear at work! Thankfully got my wash day down from 8 hours to just under 2 (!!), but idk what I’m gonna do about styling!? Haha been already planning. Maybe will have to stretch with heat then crown braid or smthg. Need to figure out styles :/ Sorry this was long and rambly. I’ll come up with something but thanks for listening! Lol if in fact you did read this whole thing 😊 (been transitioning since Jan 2019)
Amanda Clare Woow I’m so happy to hear that!! It’s amazing how much you can learn about your hair when you really take the time to! Congrats on your pregnancy btw 😊 I know it’s always great to air dry but have you thought about investing into a hooded dryer? It’ll seriously help you cut down your dry time, a great investment in my opinion!
Caramel Coils thanks for the reply! Haha I actually have both a Revair and a hooded dryer. I just try to not use heat, even indirect when I’m transitioning, but also have to remember that I have to live life lol I can’t explain to people at work that I have to wear my satin lined cap at work because my hair is drying. I go back in about 4 weeks so will start experimenting on 1 day wash and styles that can be ready to remove the next day. I think a crown braid for the week as a fashionable protective style my work. It being winter and having to wear a big coat and big sweaters I’m very aware when I feel my hair rubbing against my clothes and possibly causing split ends. Lol this hair journey is driving me crazy! Gonna wear a scarf and hat for my commutes to protect against that if I wear my twist out. You gotta laugh at this stuff, and the memes write themselves 😂
Amanda Clare lmao honestly! The things we have to deal with 😩🤦🏾♀️ Butttt it’s all worth it in the end, I wouldn’t want it any other way. Good luck with everything tho lol I have faith that you’ll figure it out ❤️
It’s hard for me at times with having my hair out. I Dance so with my hair texture...... yikes as soon as I dance and heat gets into my scalp it’s over. My hair start to go from curly.... to puff.... to dark Cesar cut 😂😂😂. It just shrinks and shrinks
Shayna Wheatley Not dark Cesar cut 💀💀😭 but I feel you girl lol working out really makes it hard to combat shrinkage 😩 How do you usually where your hair when you dance?
@@CaramelCoils i normally wear a wig. but when i don't do a wig i do a low pony bun/weave pony or hair in a high pony with my curls. i want to try to keep working on wearing it out as is but it shrinks and doesn't look like a style by the end of classes(Maybe my hair will get used to the heat. i'm dealing wit some curls and some puff). i would have to probably try in rehearsals more.I have type 4b/hair so it really curls up short and tight. it doesn't really hang down just yet.
Imani Eagan oh no 😭 hmm I would just say to make sure you’re not making your everyday buns too tight/slick. Let it breathe any chance you get, deep conditioning & protein treatments as well!
I’m in the military too. I’m natural. I would advise you to protective styles like twist, braids, & definitely wigs! And by wigs I mean you should get a braided foundation oil your scalp take down every two weeks. I use to go a month and the growth is amazing. Also remember everyone is different
I’m military too I suggest box braids Braids, I do wash n Gos all the time my hair shrinks into regs, can do a shirt wig, or a long wig that can go into a bun or play with different low bun styles ex: add a braid in the front or a twist to make it not so boring loll
Yes, finally someone who gets it! How are you going to train your hair for months to slick down into a bun or a puff and then wonder why it's not trained to be in a wash and go state? I love a knowledgeable youtuber, and your channel is bomb!
This literally spoke to me on sooo many levels. I have a small section of hair at my nape that just won’t curl anymore, I don’t use heat too often so I’m guessing it’s damaged from my slick backs. I just don’t know what to do anymore😭
Faith Crown I definitely think so. Just try to go for really moisturizing products with great hold. Here are some of my faves, ORS coconut avocado smoothie styler(last upload) , Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream(the 1st bomb product combo on my channel) or Curl Definer, & one of my all time faves Devacurl Super Stretch. (wash day routine). Hope that helps 💕
@Uní Corn basically have a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner and spray your braids (if u do it in big sections its easier nd quicker).DONT FORGET TO WASH AND DEEP CONDITION EVERY 2 WEEKS.
I can’t wash my hair every week my hair will break especially having low porosity with Kawasaki disease my hair can’t take to much manipulation and washing.
R A E G A N yea I had it ever since I was a baby they have no cure for me it gets worse they tried everything now I just take thinks to ease the pain and itchiness
Datnigga kermit I tried everything from blood transfusions to it all the diet soothes the itchiness and spreading so I stuck to doing that but won’t make it disappear like I like it to
For military women, we have to wear our hair according to the regulation (pulled back and above the collar of our blouse). What other styles would you recommend? A lot of my natural peers and I are having the same issues (i.e. thinning at the crown/edges) and we don’t know what to do :/
lol I wash and take care of my hair every two months (or longer if I’m too lazy) and my hair is mid back. I wear wigs. I don’t sleep with bonnets every night. I moisturize whenever I feel like it.
R A E G A N good for you but that may not work for everyone else lol . I wish that I didn’t have to do soo much for my hair literally your regimen sounds like a dream .
This is the method that grew my hair below my shoulder blades in a couple of years. I washed every 4 weeks or so, immediately braided or twisted it ,and wore a wig. Now my hair is long enough to wear it out and not look like a child but I definitely recommend this method. Super low manipulation for a lot of growth
@@raeganbutterfly08 I don't think I've ever deep conditioned. Not necessary for my hair . I haven't had an issue with dryness, breakage , or anything like that either since I went natural.
The reason why us guys are able to grow our hair is because we put our hair in cornrows then leave it alone for 2 weeks. When you keep your hair moisturized and leave it alone you'll retain length better and see the growth over time
I've been stuck in the shoulder-length stage for so long. I want to try washing twice a month, instead of once, but I hate the tangles so much that wash day is a chore. I can't find products with enough slip. I'm also finding that creams just make my hair sticky. Sigh the journey.
Wrathe Lemon wash day is probably a chore because you wait so long to wash it. Lol I can’t even imagine how matted my hair would be if I waited that long 😩 I’d definitely recommend washing it more frequently. I just uploaded a 2019 Natural Hair Faves video, hopefully that helps 🤗
@Uní Corn basically have a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner and spray your braids (if u do it in big sections its easier nd quicker).DONT FORGET TO WASH AND DEEP CONDITION EVERY 2 WEEKS.
I havent even figured out where my hair falls,both the texture and porosity,the curls at the front are way tighter than the ones at the back. It's just like different pattern on my head don't know how to care for it
I also have different patterns on my head, honestly it’s just a matter of trial & error. Experiment with different products, techniques, etc. & see what works
As a competitive swimmer, I don’t think I’ll ever have fully healthy or undamaged hair u till I get out of high school swimming and possibly even college. It still curls up and has healthy shrinkage and shedding but idk how much chlorine damages hair or if it just dries it
Caramel Coils I big chopped May 31st so it’s around 3-4 inches long but there is a ton of shrinkage so it looks around half to about 1 inch long. So I just put a cap on and swim, no styling. Sometimes I use water and olive oil so the chlorine can’t soak into my hair but often times I don’t have enough time for that
Grace Clover but I think you’re gonna need more than just water & olive oil, maybe try putting in some kind of conditioner & maybe twisting your hair (if possible)
Happy New Year! I use mainly use organic coconut oil but I also use raw shea butter as well might I mention since I have very dry hair I barley wash it like 1 once every 2 months and low mantainece hair styles only. Would love to show you pics of my healthy shiny hair.
I’ve been years without a relaxer and my hair is still In the awkward stage . The very tips are straight,The middle is curly , and the top is just puffy 🤔 hasn’t curled yet. I don’t use heat that often either
So when you go to sleep do the curls stay.. or do you have to wet your hair to get the curls back? Is it ok to just throw the bonnet on and wake up and go .. or how does that work?
Chidera N tbh with you, I haven’t had that many protective styles since I’ve been fully natural so I never really had a chance to get into that. The last few times I had protective styles I didn’t deep condition, I just made sure to keep my scalp moisturized/hydrated
Hey! I'm kinda new to the channel and I love it so far! What hair products do u use for the curls? Also, what shampoo and conditioner do u normally use to help growth? I use the Jamaican castor oil products. Are they good?
Childish_Dicaprio co-washing is just washing your hair with conditioner as you would with shampoo. Shampooing a lot strips your hair, i co-wash every week. Shampoo like once or twice a month.
ive been natural for 3 years now and Still dont know wtf im doing even though my hair is to my armpit :-/ i think HOW to actually go about doing your hair is where people are stuck at.
My daughters hair is soooo thick. I thought my hair was thick. Butine is trained. I never permed her hair. She is 4. I wish I can show a pic. I deep condition. I don't know what to do. Its so hard to soften it.
try to use heavier creams and products that deeply moisturize and define the hair to make it easier to manage. gels and heavily creams may become your best friend when it comes to keeping that hair in order lol
Pusheen sounds like your hair isn’t moisture/wash & go trained! That was me at one point in time, but once I mastered my wash & gos it got better! I have a video on that coming in the near future! But also keep in mind you’re always gonna have shrinkage, that comes with kinky/curly hair! 🧡
Okay this is going to sound dumb but I’ve heard multiple people emphasize on deep conditioning. I don’t get what you mean, like I wash my hair every 2 weeks so @0:57 did you mean wash your hair then deep condition once a week or just deep conditioning once a week then wash and deep condition very 2 weeks??
the front of my hair used to not curl up because of how i was manipulating it and i tried everything to get it back right, but it was actually using Tropicgyal Natural's Herbal Hair Wash that helped it to start curling up and now it looks like the rest of my hair
“My curls are kinda popping I’m not gonna lie” yes sis they are lol
JessMee Lmaoo I hate to sound cocky but thanks boo! 😭💕
-Deep condition every week
-Apply indirect heat while you deep condition
-Low manipulation styles
-Dont lay your edges all the time
-Trim your hair at least every 3 months
-take your time with your hair ex. Washing
-keep your hair moisturized
-if you have low porosity hair please apply heat for deep conditioner
Thank you
Thanks girl
Please edit and say
If you have low porosity hair apply heat for deep conditioner
Thank you 😭
what if i have braids? Cuz I almost ALWAYS hv braids in
I trimmed my hair to my chin and wore a closure wig for a month and kept my hair moisturized. When I tell you the growthhhhhh. Honestly your hair just wants to be be left alone and moisturized.
Life With Yannie yess I love to hear it boo! Amen for growth 🙌🏾😍
How did you moisture your hair under your wig???
It was a closure wig so I was taking it off every night. And popping it on in the morning
Girl you aren't lying it's so simple to grow your hair ppl don't even know lol you keep that shit moisturized and don't touch it watch it grow like wild fire

Braid your hair, moisturize it daily and leave it alone.
How do I keep the ends moisturized if it’s braided?
Antonia use a spray bottle

Imani Eagan oh no 😭 hmm I would just say to make sure you’re not making your everyday buns too tight/slick. Let it breathe any chance you get, deep conditioning & protein treatments as well!
Maybe u can do the corn rows tht go all the way back and put the ends in a bun idk the type of style the military allows
I’m in the military too. I’m natural. I would advise you to protective styles like twist, braids, & definitely wigs! And by wigs I mean you should get a braided foundation oil your scalp take down every two weeks. I use to go a month and the growth is amazing. Also remember everyone is different
Do protective hairstyles :) some of them look super nice
I’m military too I suggest box braids Braids, I do wash n Gos all the time my hair shrinks into regs, can do a shirt wig, or a long wig that can go into a bun or play with different low bun styles ex: add a braid in the front or a twist to make it not so boring loll
Yes, finally someone who gets it! How are you going to train your hair for months to slick down into a bun or a puff and then wonder why it's not trained to be in a wash and go state? I love a knowledgeable youtuber, and your channel is bomb!
My hair thrived while I was on deployment in Turkey.. then I came back to Colorado’s dry air
Woow, so I guess I should be grateful for Florida’s humidity 😩 How do you primarily wear your hair now?
I primarily wear it in twist for 2 weeks at a time to prevent unnecessary breakage. Also, I definitely have have to moisturize it 24/7.
On the contrary, I have more tangles when I do twist-outs. Wash-and-go works better against tangles and knots for me.
This literally spoke to me on sooo many levels. I have a small section of hair at my nape that just won’t curl anymore, I don’t use heat too often so I’m guessing it’s damaged from my slick backs. I just don’t know what to do anymore😭
Amber Nicole tension damage is real boo! There’s really not much we can do other than avoid those slick hairstyles & just keep our hair moisturized 😪
Damn, I really wanna wash n go train my hair but I don’t ever want to use gel in my hair 😩 is it still possible?
Faith Crown I definitely think so. Just try to go for really moisturizing products with great hold. Here are some of my faves, ORS coconut avocado smoothie styler(last upload) , Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream(the 1st bomb product combo on my channel) or Curl Definer, & one of my all time faves Devacurl Super Stretch. (wash day routine). Hope that helps 💕
i know this is a year old but please dont use deva curl if you (or anyone else seeing this) still are 😭
@Uní Corn basically have a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner and spray your braids (if u do it in big sections its easier nd quicker).DONT FORGET TO WASH AND DEEP CONDITION EVERY 2 WEEKS.
wow I rush through my wash and gos, definitely going to keep this in mind.
Amanda Sosa yess please do, it makes a huge difference in the long run!
I can’t wash my hair every week my hair will break especially having low porosity with Kawasaki disease my hair can’t take to much manipulation and washing.
Melah Donazal I had that when I was younger.
R A E G A N yea I had it ever since I was a baby they have no cure for me it gets worse they tried everything now I just take thinks to ease the pain and itchiness
Melah Donazal they gave me blood fractures. I don’t know what else, but it took me a long time before I recuperated.
@@melahd6604 What about changing your diet? Would that work?
Datnigga kermit I tried everything from blood transfusions to it all the diet soothes the itchiness and spreading so I stuck to doing that but won’t make it disappear like I like it to
Thank you so much sis! Great video, I needed this info!😉🥰
#HealthOverLength especially since I rock short hair 😅
Yes ma'am yes ma'am, inches are temporary lol health is forever!
For military women, we have to wear our hair according to the regulation (pulled back and above the collar of our blouse). What other styles would you recommend? A lot of my natural peers and I are having the same issues (i.e. thinning at the crown/edges) and we don’t know what to do :/
I’m not a sis but I am taking notes for my natural Afro lmao
🤣🤣
Thanks for the knowledge. Had no idea wash and go training was a thing and that slicking your hair too much could damage your curl pattern.
Learn something new everyday, my pleasure 🧡
lol I wash and take care of my hair every two months (or longer if I’m too lazy) and my hair is mid back. I wear wigs. I don’t sleep with bonnets every night. I moisturize whenever I feel like it.
R A E G A N good for you but that may not work for everyone else lol . I wish that I didn’t have to do soo much for my hair literally your regimen sounds like a dream .
This is the method that grew my hair below my shoulder blades in a couple of years. I washed every 4 weeks or so, immediately braided or twisted it ,and wore a wig. Now my hair is long enough to wear it out and not look like a child but I definitely recommend this method. Super low manipulation for a lot of growth
ml j I barely even deep condition. Just shampoo, condition, and leave in.
@@raeganbutterfly08 I don't think I've ever deep conditioned. Not necessary for my hair . I haven't had an issue with dryness, breakage , or anything like that either since I went natural.
ml j kml I don’t even clip my ends! I don’t think I do enough to it to cut it. We some ole lazy mfs 😂
I loved your video! I just came across your channel and I’m glad to have found another “Caramel” on YT!
Keep up the good work✨💫
Caramel Kell aww thanks boo! 🍯😝 (I know thats honey but that’ll do)
Great tips! I’m one of the guilty ones and always in your DM. I’m on day 9 of my wash and go lol but it’s actually still cute
Sherese Tracey Lol it’s no problem tho, that’s what I’m here for 🤣❤️ It might be cute but is it still moisturized? 👀👀
The reason why us guys are able to grow our hair is because we put our hair in cornrows then leave it alone for 2 weeks. When you keep your hair moisturized and leave it alone you'll retain length better and see the growth over time
Yep.
Exactly!
I've been stuck in the shoulder-length stage for so long. I want to try washing twice a month, instead of once, but I hate the tangles so much that wash day is a chore. I can't find products with enough slip. I'm also finding that creams just make my hair sticky. Sigh the journey.
Wrathe Lemon wash day is probably a chore because you wait so long to wash it. Lol I can’t even imagine how matted my hair would be if I waited that long 😩 I’d definitely recommend washing it more frequently. I just uploaded a 2019 Natural Hair Faves video, hopefully that helps 🤗
My hair ain growing and it’s uneven 😂 I refuse to cut it tho
Same lol
oh god samee
vTBK Fvnesse oh gosh don’t be so naive 😂
Hair doesn’t grow the same.
@Uní Corn basically have a spray bottle with water and a little conditioner and spray your braids (if u do it in big sections its easier nd quicker).DONT FORGET TO WASH AND DEEP CONDITION EVERY 2 WEEKS.
How do you deep condition while in a protective style
Lluviana that’s what I was wondering too
You can apply a deep conditioner when putting in the protective style ( this is what I do and has worked)
I don't usually, I just make sure to keep my scalp clean & moisturized
Really just came for my whole life Lmfaoo 😭
It needed to be done 😂💕
Great video sis! Great tips
drine_the_ poet my pleasure 💘💘
This helped a lot, I been stuck around the length for a good time 🥺
i use rice water for hair growth and when i tells youuuuuuu the growth after transitioning!!!!!
I havent even figured out where my hair falls,both the texture and porosity,the curls at the front are way tighter than the ones at the back. It's just like different pattern on my head don't know how to care for it
I also have different patterns on my head, honestly it’s just a matter of trial & error. Experiment with different products, techniques, etc. & see what works
I dont use a lot of products and my hair always grows fast i just use a cream and coconut oil or neem oil and i do braids 2days before i wash my hair
Great!
Good point about adding heat over leave it in overnight with deep conditioning
Myesha 🙌🏾 major key
I have to start doing this! Especially since I have low porosity hair.
@@katelyn371 Yess, it makes such a huge difference! Whenever you decide to do it lmk how it goes! 🤗
I’m so happy I found your channel. We have the same hair and the same porosity.
Not as happy as I am! Lol welcome hair twinnn 💕💕👯♀️
Taisha Jean-Charles same. We’re a trio now, lol.
Sun kissed_ Melanin O Yesss lol the more the merrier! 💕👯♀️👯♀️
This a W video💯 I’m a boy and this lowkey helped me
As a competitive swimmer, I don’t think I’ll ever have fully healthy or undamaged hair u till I get out of high school swimming and possibly even college. It still curls up and has healthy shrinkage and shedding but idk how much chlorine damages hair or if it just dries it
How do you usually wear your hair for practice, meets, etc.?
Caramel Coils I big chopped May 31st so it’s around 3-4 inches long but there is a ton of shrinkage so it looks around half to about 1 inch long. So I just put a cap on and swim, no styling. Sometimes I use water and olive oil so the chlorine can’t soak into my hair but often times I don’t have enough time for that
Grace Clover Do you protective style much?
Grace Clover but I think you’re gonna need more than just water & olive oil, maybe try putting in some kind of conditioner & maybe twisting your hair (if possible)
Caramel Coils I tried conditioner a couple times and my cap always slips off. I’ll try again but maybe just a little and not a lot
Happy New Year! I use mainly use organic coconut oil but I also use raw shea butter as well might I mention since I have very dry hair I barley wash it like 1 once every 2 months and low mantainece hair styles only. Would love to show you pics of my healthy shiny hair.
mssexsie that’s great! I’m glad you found something that works for you. I’d love to see it! You can send it my Instagram @stephrachel_ ❤️
So what are you supposed to do if you work everyday and you are required to keep your hair in a ponytail/bun for hours
absolutely gorgeous
I’ve been years without a relaxer and my hair is still In the awkward stage . The very tips are straight,The middle is curly , and the top is just puffy 🤔 hasn’t curled yet. I don’t use heat that often either
1345688 sounds like the tips are still relaxed, so I’d definitely recommend cutting that off for starters. What’s your hair care regimen?
Caramel Coils I’m trying to stick to one LOL! I’m finding out what does /doesn’t work for my hair .
1345688 Lol I hear you! What have you found works for you so far?
Caramel Coils natural oils like olive and coconut oil . I’m trying shea moisture products currently and hopefully I get good Results
I LOVE YOU omgggg!! NEW SUBSCRIBER ALERT
BlackgrlKy Tv Aw welcome boo! 😭🧡
Dropping gems thanks sis
JessMee you know I got you sis! ❤️
So when you go to sleep do the curls stay.. or do you have to wet your hair to get the curls back? Is it ok to just throw the bonnet on and wake up and go .. or how does that work?
Deep conditioning made a biggggggg difference for me.
Girl yes, game changer for sure!
your camera quality is so good what do you use? 😍
Briana Niree thank youu 😊 Canon M50!
@@CaramelCoils how much is that?
What do you do about deep conditioning when you have a protected style?
Chidera N tbh with you, I haven’t had that many protective styles since I’ve been fully natural so I never really had a chance to get into that. The last few times I had protective styles I didn’t deep condition, I just made sure to keep my scalp moisturized/hydrated
Hey! I'm kinda new to the channel and I love it so far! What hair products do u use for the curls? Also, what shampoo and conditioner do u normally use to help growth? I use the Jamaican castor oil products. Are they good?
William Santiago thank you! I have an updated wash day routine, that should help 😊 & I haven’t used those products
Just starting my hair journey. Could you explain what a co-wash is or maybe a tutorial ?
Childish_Dicaprio co-washing is just washing your hair with conditioner as you would with shampoo. Shampooing a lot strips your hair, i co-wash every week. Shampoo like once or twice a month.
Really good tips, I'm guilty of doing those.
it's jamilaaa 2020 is around the corner, time to make some changes 👀
I really want to train my hair for wash n gos, but i don’t really know where to start product wise. 😩
Faith Janae tbh you just have to try out new products and combinations and see what products work best with your hair
What about cornrows, is that low maintenance?
Emmanuela Amibang low manipulation you mean? As long as they’re not too tight I’d say yes!
ive been natural for 3 years now and Still dont know wtf im doing even though my hair is to my armpit :-/ i think HOW to actually go about doing your hair is where people are stuck at.
My daughters hair is soooo thick. I thought my hair was thick. Butine is trained. I never permed her hair. She is 4. I wish I can show a pic. I deep condition. I don't know what to do. Its so hard to soften it.
But mine is...
try to use heavier creams and products that deeply moisturize and define the hair to make it easier to manage. gels and heavily creams may become your best friend when it comes to keeping that hair in order lol
Im not going to take my box braids out every week to buy more hair to put them back in
You spoke soooooo fast, lol but non the less, very very detailed video. Thx so much. Beautiful hair!!!
Lol I realized when I was editing 😭Something I'm trying to work on lol but I appreciate you for looking past that 🧡🧡🧡
U can put the slow mo emotion I know that sounds creepy but it works for alot of people
I just did a big chop a month ago I will lobe to know what are the best products for low porosity hair thank you I love your video
Hiliana Diamond Yess happy for you girl! I uploaded a 2019 natural hair favorites a few days ago, hopefully that helps ❤️❤️
We have the same hair type and your hair is soooo defined and long but when I wash my hair it’s so frizzy and short
Pusheen sounds like your hair isn’t moisture/wash & go trained! That was me at one point in time, but once I mastered my wash & gos it got better! I have a video on that coming in the near future! But also keep in mind you’re always gonna have shrinkage, that comes with kinky/curly hair! 🧡
Then single strand knots be jumping my hair. No style every come out because I got every split end in the book
Sis what type of camera are you using? The quality of this video is amazing! Girl I can see yo damn cuticle.
Cole B. 🤣🤣 thank you! Canon M50
Okay this is going to sound dumb but I’ve heard multiple people emphasize on deep conditioning. I don’t get what you mean, like I wash my hair every 2 weeks so @0:57 did you mean wash your hair then deep condition once a week or just deep conditioning once a week then wash and deep condition very 2 weeks??
Aniyah Aka Nini I only recommend deep conditioning on freshly washed hair. So wash your hair then deep condition
This really helped me alot 🥰🥰❗
puffgirllayaaa g. Yay I’m so glad ☺️💕
I’m ah dude stop callin me sis ☹️
Way Back 🤣🤣 sorry
It was was your choice to watch bro 😂😂😂
💀💀💀
I'm a guy so getting my hands on a deep conditioner is kinda hard because both my mom and sister straighten their hair and I don't got a car
the front of my hair used to not curl up because of how i was manipulating it and i tried everything to get it back right, but it was actually using Tropicgyal Natural's Herbal Hair Wash that helped it to start curling up and now it looks like the rest of my hair
