So basically, the no oil no butter method is the new heat training. The goal is to damage the hair in order to get loose curls and to give a marketable name to hair damage.
Scammers will always profit off of our lust for loose curls.
🎯
🎯🎯
Exactly and when they get even a blow out they get heat damage but really the hair was already damaged
I just big chopped my hair over this. I tried it a couple years ago and no matter what I did my hair kept falling out and breaking severely. Even when I tried to give it a break and put protective styles in it was never the same.
Shout out to Shelly V for the in depth conversation and photos. I'm so glad she is back on the right track 🎉
As a scientist, I’m always impressed by your understanding of molecular structure and properties.
I would also like to add that I have a suspicion that Innersense I create hold gel is too alkaline and is causing issues. If you look at the ingredient list, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE is the 5th ingredient! That is way too high up on the list. I know it can be present as a pH adjuster, but not as the 5th ingredient. That’s getting into relaxer territory.
Omg it is true and I don't see something like citric acid to lower the final ph of the product! Let me check all my gels and if you have any safe suggestions from your scientist eye feel free to let me know ☺
Did you test the gel with litmus paper? That'll give a definite answer
I admit I fell for the wash & go and wetline craze, and my hair's crown suffered from it. However, I wasn't foolish enough to fall for the no-oils and no-butters trend. With my low porosity, mainly 4A hair, I need all the assistance I can get to help maintain hydration and moisture. So oils and butters are an absolute must for me, along with an effective yet hydrating shampoo. My hair is grazing hip length.
Hi Chloe. It’s sounds like your hair may have some medium to high porosity like me because my hair love oils and butters too!! I had cut my hair, beginning 2023 but since, just braiding and using hair pomades and some oils and butters my hair grows about 1/4 in. per month! It’s been wildly growing. My hair is about 9-10 inches long with some trimming throughout the year and keeping it braided!! Have a Happy hair Journey!❤❤❤💯💯🥰🥰🥰
@@stephaniepink9060
Hi there!
Thank you for sharing your hair journey! It sounds like your hair is thriving with the care you're giving it. I also have low porosity hair. My hair tends to resist absorbing moisture and products, repels water, and takes days to dry naturally.
If anyone can dunk their head under water and come up with dry hair, it's pretty safe to say they have low porosity hair. For me, the combination of finding products that work, using heat to help products penetrate better, and sealing in moisture with oils and butters is what works best for my hair.
I think with textured hair, hydration, moisture, and sealing in that moisture is a standard routine that can work for different textures, regardless of porosity.
It's always a learning experience figuring out what works. Wishing you a continued happy hair journey!
“The Curly Girl Struggle” song got me falling out. Just me, not my hair 😂😂😂.
So what you are saying is very true. I noticed my hair became limp, whenever water touched it, it went straight.
My hair no longer coiled up but looked like I got texturized hair.
For individual that loved their coils, and my coils looked better and gave me more volume.
I didn’t notice the change until it was too late.
That’s exactly what happened to my hair. It became limp and lifeless.
Mines too!! Especially around the front !!
This is the first stylist I've watched who treats Black hair with care and doesn't seem to hate it. I do my own natural hair except for trims and the occasional silk press after years of dealing with stylists complaining about thickness, pulling, burning, etc..my hair, which, I believe, they hated in its natural state but loved it straightened. Thanks to your videos. I have added grease back into my regimen.
Im sorry but those songs at the end going triple platinum in my household
I did that challenge too and my hair became extremely dry, bushy and was breaking all the time. I big chopped and went back to oils, butters, leave in and deep conditioning and my hair is doing much better and has stopped breaking.
56:02 you know what's funny is natural hair youtubers used to recommend using coconut oil to prepoo natural hair to prevent hygral fatigue from shampooing 😂 and you know we were using shampoos like shea moisture.
Also, does that mean doing faye's trick of putting leave in conditioner on and putting on a shower cap for 10min before a wash n go is a bad idea, even if only doing it once in a while?
What protective styles do you recommend for us girlies with finer, low density hair? My twists always look terrible no matter the size, and they always unravel. Single braids don’t look good either. Helpp 😭😂
Y’all I did a cute cornrow design in the front and put small plats in the back! Doesn’t look full but looks better than a head full of small braids or twists!
You can check this lady, Kelsey or Kelsey. She also has low density and fine hair.
@@uberhaute_naturalz84 Ima check her out!
Have you ever tried mini braids :) I have fine, low density hair as well annd LOVE mini braids
The song at the beginning😭😭😭😭😭
This is exactly what happened to my hair. The elasticity is gone
During this whole discussion. We forget about the Natural Hair Sebum that leaves our scalp and travels down the hair shaft to naturally moisturize and strengthen the hair!! Sebum Wins!!❤❤❤❤🥰🥰💯💯💯💯
It's my observation that most wash and go people are not wetting their hair often. They try to hold on to their wash and go for 6 or 7 days. Hydral fatigue wouldn't be an issue for them.
When they would talk about putting their hair under the shower for each section when styling, I was like they’re gonna get hygral fatigue like Kimberly Cherrel did and her curl pattern loosened as well so this makes sense.
A lil mist to reset the hair, fine. But they’d put the section under the shower put styler then put it under the shower AGAIN for the second styler. Like make it make sense.
and these stylers are expensive as HELL !!! why are you having me damn near rinse it out just to put more ????
@@selfcompassionate The way they said you need to add water for the product to “work” because it starts foaming, and I was started to believe them because their hair looked good. I just made up my mind that that’s how the botanical gels work and imma stick to my hard hold gels because I don’t have the money or time.
@@bbappzz98 its just endless foolishness. i dont use gel at all anymore in my routine but if i did i would never touch a botanical gel again
@@selfcompassionate yeah, I’ve turned to foams for twists out and if I did gels it would be the aunt Jackie’s or African pride because they’re not as strong. Definitely realised I need to mix in protective styles with my natural hair and out styles.
@bbappzz98 uncle funkys isn't strong either but perhaps the humectants in it were over hydrating the hair?
Thanks for the deep dive on this issue and saving heads of hair ❤
🙏😊😇
I am loving your rigour, Narada! ✨
I also have a hunch about the RevAir contributing to some damage or loosening of the curl pattern to an extent. Even though it uses less heat, the implementation of consistent tension/stretching and ESPECIALLY if used in conjunction with this methodology, y’know? Sorry if this is discussed at some point, I’m commenting early on in the video, 😂
Good point!
Love the new theme song. ♥️🎶
Your talents keep showing up and showing out. 😉😍
Love the serious reading voice!🤣❤️
What do you think about washing and regular conditioning once a week? I wear my hair in twists and oil it twice a week.
I think it's fine. You should only need a gentle cleanser when weekly washing and clarify once a month
@@AfrikanHairGod what if you use hair grease for twists and wash weekly to every 2 weeks? Would a clarifier only once a month be okay or would you need to move it to at least twice a month?
@@iateyursandwiches yes just once a month
@AfrikanHairGod oh ok. how gentle can the cleanser be? Like Biolage shampoo gentle or natural hair moisture shampoo gentle(shea moisture, As I am, and design essentials come to mind)? Lol
Sorry last question🙈
You're reading voice is sending me 😂
Not the Ramen Noodle 🌊 😂. These products that they are pushing remind me of the Dominican shops putting relaxer in their conditioners. I’ve noticed that BGC also promotes coloring with developers which changes your texture and eats away at your cuticle. It doesn’t matter how well you take care of color, it damages the hair structures and changes the texture. How do you build a brand promoting embracing Afro curls, then back hand lead folx down a path of structural damage and texture change. I definitely noticed my hair going limp with their methods and recommended products. Also, I noticed an exacerbation of my seborrheic dermatitis with their methods.
1:18:13 i dont think water only washing alone can wash off the lipid layer. Its not a surfactant. Frequent ACV rinse and shampooing with strong shampoos most definitely can im sure
They were using acv to "cleanse" to avoid shampooing and letting their hair dry out. They said proper hydration will encourage a healthy lipid barrier.
@@AfrikanHairGodah ok got you. I thought the method simply involved wetting hair daily in the shower with water and no other products for months at a time[if not indefinitely].
@@iateyursandwiches nobody was following the rules tbh
Loving the song!!!!!!!!
It’s hilarious 😂
As an old school in my 50’s, I will never leave great shampoos, conditioners, oils, hair grease, and hair pomades!❤❤❤💯💯🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!
1:16:00 mark
I remember the ‘hair gets looser when it’s longer’ discussions back in the day. Personally, I saw it most consistently with type 3s. From my post transition big chop to primarily doing AD-inspired wash n gos (my hair was too dense for doing it the exact way he suggested, plus cowashing made my scalp itch after a few days, so I still did weekly shampoos and deep conditioning), I did notice an initial change in definition, but not shrinkage. It’s always been impeccable.
Even with henna, I’ve always watched my shrinkage and pattern like a hawk after seeing so many videos and forum posts of people losing their curl pattern, which is likely people using way too much too soon from what I can see of their routines. Also not using herbs like Aloe, Amla and phytolipids, like coconut milk and fenugreek. Which I use in between treatments as a fail safe. (😂 I know you don’t care for henna but someone might find it helpful).
I also never stretched my hair. Dabbled in it to see what all the hubbub was about, but I let it go once I realized how often I would need to do it and that was entirely too much heat and or time for me. Plus I just didn’t like disturbing my style like that.
I also still deep condition when time allows (every 1-3 months, it really just depends)
For reference, my tailbone length hair shrinks to or ever so slightly below my shoulders and I’m a type 4.
Edit: and I still did tightly scheduled trims (every 4 months). Now I do 1-2 times a year.
Could I please ask what styles do you wear and how long did it take to get to tailbone length?
@@funmi5653
Last relaxer was January 2017. I was waist length by March 2020. Tailbone length by sometime in 2022. So about 5 years. Had I learned Narada’s detangling technique sooner, I’m positive I could’ve gotten there at least a year earlier if I started my journey that way. It made that much of a difference.
The top two styles would be wash n go’s and medium two strand twists. The one and only true blue long-term protective style I wear are bubble braids (4-6 weeks), and that’s because I don’t take it down or redo anything, aside from occasional popped rubber band.
Regardless of what I wear I never forgo washing and conditioning over a two weeks-my scalp can’t handle that. My preference is at least once a week or more, depending on if I sweat heavily or swim. I detangle and redo twists after every wash, that’s why I don’t do minis. Also never used extensions. Too much work for me and it adds a lot of time.
You have beautifulllllllllll hair
@@kam1776
Thank you so much 🙏🏾☺️🩷
@@denyshadials5702what ‘treatments’ do you do with the Ayurvedic herbs? Do you mix them in your conditioner, infuse them in an oil and apply or? I used to love using them henna, amla and aloe specifically but fenugreek had me walking around smelling like curry😢 Narad’s tips have been really helping healing the integrity of my hair but I think I need to start cutting a lot of length off soon so the herbs will hopefully add that extra growth boost 🤞🏾
Not the Curly Karen Anthem! 😂😂
@Afrikanhairgod. Coconut oil , avacado oil and olive oil is actual good at preventing hydral fatigue. Its studies and show its absorbancy rate. I apply conut oil and extra vigin coconut oil to my hair overnigt before I wash early in the morning.
True but no one is going to be slathering oil on their hair before doing a wash n go. I think the best preventative measure is just not setting your hair up to receive hygral fatigue. You aren't at risk just doing everyday healthy hair practices. Plus those same oils are considered comedogenic and can lead to scalp issues for those with sensitive scalps
Shells Bob is fire 🔥!!
Yeah for Lipid Layers!! Protection!
Makes sense.
@AfrikanHairGod how do I reverse over stripped hair?
I’m officially relaxer-free and want to care for my natural hair correctly. Is clarifying monthly, shampoo, conditioner/deep conditioner (do I need to use both interchangeably or can I just deep condition?), leave-in, and oil/butter/cream/pomade (I would only use one of these options) weekly too much?
Seems like a good routine to me. But I'm not a professional so idk.
I personally wouldn’t deep condition every week bc it’s more so a treatment. I deep condition once every 3-4 weeks unless I’ve dyed my hair then I up it to ever other week. But otherwise a weekly shampoo and conditioner +leave in and cream is good + a lil oil. I don’t like to mess with my hair throughout the week since it can cause damage so making sure your hair is moisturized properly on wash day is good! I use a lil oil I use on my scalp (grease in the winter bc I get dry scalp) about 1-2 times a week.
@@arek5985 Ty for your reply! I’ll pick up the conditioner for the line I’m using and just use the deep conditioner once a month.
I left the BGC method some time ago. I have to say, I’m struggling with using the grease and raw butters part because a majority of them literally sit on my hair and make it feel dry. The only thing that hasn’t been as bad is naptual85’s hair oil. I’m struggling to find a deep conditioner and leave in that my hair likes.
A good leave in and using a lighter oil might help
For leave ins I recommend trying Curl Love by Camille Rose or the Pomegranate one by Mielle. I’ve seen sample packets for purchase for each. I also really like Camille Rose’s Algae Renew deep conditioner.
Try putting a plastic cap on and trapping some heat in after your conditioning and moisturizing steps to encourage moisture penetration.
You could also try doing warm oil treatments before and during washing hair to help moisture train it.
@@jadesiress3382 I’m going to try this, thanks.
@@TheEmpressImpress No prob ☺️
I recently did a big chop after yrs of relaxing it. How do I find out what type of hair I have. The porosity and stuff like that
Yes. Your process does work. Especially since I simply keep my hair braided!!!
Wetting the hair for 10 min at the beginning of the washday such as BCG method, is it okay or can it cause hygral fatigue in the long term? I do not follow BCG method anymore but it is one practice I kept thinking it is beneficial for the hair hydration and the shampoo to follow
I have wondered the same thing. I also have been wetting for 10 min, but now wonder if it is really necessary....
So what happened to black girl curls are they still in business? Their salons ???
Why did Shelly Block you?😮
