In the process of wash day right now! An expectation I used to have but now realize isn't realistic (especially being 4c) is having no shedding or even a little breakage. I really appreciate you showing the hair that you lost because a lot of these people act as if nothing came of their head in that time. Only having been natural for a year and a half, I used to be freaking out when I lost hair. Now I know (thanks to you NappyFu!) that it's just what hair does!
I used to get so upset with myself for having any kind of hair fall because I saw youtubers combing their hair and showing no hair on the comb. It's not realistic!!!
@@livelovely4681 So did I. And all that stressing will cause health issues. We all need to relax and let our hair do what it does naturally...shed and grow.
Me too. It does not take me long, love how i get to Try something different each Time and love the way my hair turns out. I really think i give myself too much love on wash day.
I feel like I just went to the CHURCH OF HAIR. With NappyFu as the preacher, choir and we are the congregation. Speaking the truth and keeping it real as usual. Always entertaining.
My unrealistic expectations were having the energy to prepoo, wash my hair in sections, do a protein treatment, condition AND deep condition, use the loc method to moisturize, and then style. Now I do almost none of that and my hair has never thrived more. Keeping it simple.
I know what you mean! I've simplified it down to a shampoo and a very moisturizing leave in conditioner. I like shampoo bars, they're usually cheaper and last longer than bottled shampoo. And more environmentally friendly.
I NEEDED to read this 💀💀💀 i keep trying to do this on wash days and it would take me 11hrs!!! Now im not doing none of that ish. ... On the same day atleast. Deep conditioning and using a protein treatment on the same day is also a no. Literally no need
I've developed such a good relationship and routine with my hair that I actually enjoy wash day. Just the fact that I'm nourishing and treating my hair makes me feel so good because that's what helps it grow. Know your hair, what it likes and how it likes it and you'll be fine.
You’re one of the few people who use a good amount of product in your hair, I see so many girls putting a couple pumps into their whole dry hair and it disappears and misses 90% of the hair
My wash day expectation that I had to change was thinking that I could get away with not deep conditioning. Now that I do it consistently I notice way more moisture and length retention.
I had no idea what you ladies have to do to maintain your hair, nor did i know about the hairtypes. I admire youre patience and haircare skills. It was very educational for me. Thank you. And love from Amsterdam.
My expectation personally for me was that I could detangle in the shower and wash my hair without sections. Without sections my hair gets matted and more tangled every time and my water gets cold by the time I'm done detangling. Detangling before I get in the shower and shampooing in plaits has been a life saver for me.
Sierra Linton personally I don't wash my hair in sections and I have 4c as well I do a light finger det angle before I wash my hair but I don't actually detangle my hair until the deep conditioning step. Honestly your ability to detangle while in the shower really depends on the products you use. Certain shampoos and conditioners I cannot detangle in shower with and cause tangling while others do not.
@@neishachambers2719 my deep conditioners never gave me enough slip to do it that way unfortunately.( I use shea moisture hair masques) And to shower detangle I would use aussie conditioner vo5 hello hydration or any other conditioner well known for good slip. Not that I wasn't impressed with the slip, they're great conditioners, I just still found detangling beforeto work best for me. I save water and time in the shower.
neisha chambers I don't understand how people detangle with deep conditioners cuz my thought is the jar says to rinse out after 20 minutes or maybe 30 minutes and it would take me too long to the d'tangle you no longer than that. so then I think the deep conditioner is going to have some negative effect on my hair if I allow it to stay on too long.
Sierra Linton use the shea moisture coconut oil masque I can't remember the name but it is honestly life changing. I like shea moisture masques but usually they sit on top of my hair until I go under the dryer. This one sinks in immediately. I usually don't detangle until I come from under the dryer but with this one I can detangle in the shower. Also cleansing conditioners have amazing slip. I've tried 2 from Pantene that were great but biolage coarse hair cleansing conditioner is amazing.
I love to see that hair growth!!! Alot of natural bloggers that I see on youtube have much looser/more manageable looking hair than I do, and the tips they give just aren’t realistic for my texture. Seeing someone with hair that seems similar to mine making detailed tutorials, using efficient and relatable techniques, and backing it all up with solid logic is a rare gem. Your videos can be SO inspirational and encouraging for me, and your personality makes it even better. Thank you. :)
I don't understand some naturals pre poo with a deep conditioner before watching there hair. To me that's wasting the main purpose of a deep condition. That's how people waste money. I don't understand how some naturals cowash when a regular conditioner when the conditioner isn't purpose for cowash. Your hair is still dirty, creating a lot more buildup. Especially a week or two without washing your hair.
I stopped prepooing, realized I didn't need it, so long as I deep condition afterwards which is like every time! Also no point in me pre-detangling when my hair will just tangle back up when I shampoo. It's more about what I do to my hair afterwards that determines the condition of my hair until the next wash day.
@@mariaklaudia4710 there is nothing wrong to prepoo with a regular condition. My thing is why would you prepoo with a deep conditioner. Some naturals buy a big bottle of conditioner for many uses to deal with the hair but you buy a deep conditioner when the purpose of a deep conditioner is to do whatever it is suppose to do and you prepoo with it. That doesn't make sense.
What she says about changing your mindset about wash day is so true. I used to HATE wash day. Now when that 2nd week comes around, I start legit getting excited to wash my hair and try new shampoos and conditioners. Thinking about cute styles for after. Making it fun goes a long way to actually enjoying it
This is super true. I actually LOVE wash days. I use it as like my self care day as well :). Love your videos so much as well as you, girl! Have a blessed day!
I started pre pooing with oil and it was a game changer for me. My styles come out nicer since my hair isn't stripped after washing. 💙 ur videos! I'm definitely part of the fam🤗
@@abbynyams I use my own oil mix. Its avocado, grapeseed and castor oil mixed with aloe vera gel. I soak fenugreek seeds in the mixture for 2 days then strain the seeds. It's been helping my hair grow. Hope this helps you
Princez Diva Amazing how different everyone’s hair and hair routine is. The cleaner and wetter my hair is, the tighter it shrinks and tangles up. I need the twist to keep it stretched out so I reach my scalp. I also wet style, as in I don’t towel dry before I apply leave-ins and styling products. So when I rinse conditioner, I undo my twists, rinse, apply products and style. Nothing is left behind.
Im a personal care chemist (personal car is anything you use in the bathroom :) ). And it's great you are saying the correct things about what one should do during their hair care routine..unlike most UA-camrs. So refreshing!!!!! Thank you!!!
I was always taught that the less you wash your hair the more it will grow but I'm a silver Beauty so that was way back in my childhood I have since learned better and my hair is really responding better Thank-you nappyfu
I love your hair and energy. You are such an inspiration. I am so happy to see a 4c chick winning. Your such a beautiful soul and I'm glad I discovered your channel
i literally just had this revelation a few weeks ago. it also helped that i got over myself and cut my routine in half so i can do it quicker. now that the routine is shorter, i'm more open to doing it weekly and i get it over with before i have the chance the get lazy lol
My mum makes me keep box braids in from September to mid December (4 months without washing it) because my hairdresser decided to do our hair for free and my mum doesn't want her to think that we are taking advantage. I think my hair has grown resilient to that now because during that time, my hair grows wildly.
Heyyyy, I see that length girl. A rinse out conditioner can be used as a deep conditioner if you add some carrier oils. Deep conditioner, rinse out, leave in: if you look at the ingredients they are so similar. Anyways DIYs are good too but watch the pH. I was in sophermore in highschool and I used african black soap with baking soda to wash my hair and after a few wash days(about a month later) my scalp was itchy. I didn't realize the pH of both were alkaline. I did too much diys with out enough research and eventually i shaved my head. Im a senior in highschool now and I'm starting over from the beginning.
Anna Frimpong Arhin carrier oils are like olive oil grape seed avocado etc I also add some essential oils. However I find the rinse out conditioners are not thick enough to give the same results as my actual deep conditioners
You are so right about changing your mindset. I dread wash day and my hair hates me. Your videos are motivating me to craft a solid and regular routine.
The expectation that I once had which quickly went away is that I could wash my hair within a certain a timeframe. In fact I just washed my hair this morning and it took time but it was deliberate because I don't want to miss any steps. I have been natural for almost 4 years and honestly speaking I have not found products that I feel have greatly enhanced my hair, which was another thing I had come to terms with: finding the right product and method will take time. So what I have learned thus far is this: wash day takes time and plan the day you will wash your hair and COMMIT to that day, use the hair care products you have at home and do not waste your money buying new ones until you have finished your current one unless it is necessary, and be patient for Rome was not built in a day. I could add more but this will end up being a long post. Thank you for the video! H-town represent! I'm from Dallas but it's all good because Texas is all up in this :-)!
I am so glad you mentioned cowashing. I followed that trend and the buildup on my hair was crazy. Once instated cleansing my hair my hair FLOURISHED!!! And cleansing doesnt mean harsh ass chemicals people. Wash your hair!!!
Heyyyy sis...hey Fu! 😋 Showing you lots of love all the way from the ATL. Awesome, funny and informational video as always. You keep our type 4 hair in check. Thanks for always keeping it real, naturally. An unrealistic wash day expectation for me was a 30 minute wash day routine on 4b / 4c hair. Where's my mama belt? 🤦♀️🤦♀️ That a hot wrong disrespectful mess. I stepped away from the videos on UA-cam and put the work in. Realistically, it takes 2 hours to thoroughly detangle; 1 hour to prepoo; since my hair is in 16 sections due to kinky coily curls, I unravel each section and lather shampoo on them. That takes 20 minutes. Afterwards, I deep condition for 1 hour and style for 2 - 3 hours. I dedicate one day to my hair and take my time. It has definitely thanked me for it. After 4 years of being natural, I have obtained at least 15 inches of hair. Our kinks and coils are worth it 🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for sharing 💙💚💛🧡
🤗Hey Girl, HEEEY! We have completely different hair texture, BUT I need someone like you in my daily life. You make me laugh, your information and delivery style gets 👍🏽👍🏽. 4C Naturals are not the only ones struggling! There are regular folks like me, who fall somewhere between 3s and 4s, unable to retain length or longevity with hairstyles, etc. Where there is easiness in one area, there is a struggle in others. Basically, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Anyway, I'm just here to take away whatever I can to help me do a better job with what God gave me. Thank you for what you do!💞
I thought every wash day I could cut out single strand knots while detangling and it took me HOURS to do this! I realized I have to dust in between washes, I can not spend all day cutting out knots #lessonlearned 😂
Danielle Sappleton I braid my hair in three to four sections on wash day but leave the ends, where I would normally get single string knots, loose in put a little girls tiny barrette at the ends with the hair spread a little which keeps it from tying to each other or forming little single strand knots.
ok so its been a while sin e I watched you BUT GIRL your hair has transformed!!!!! look at you!! your hair looks so healthy from when you first started!! love your personality and you have a beautiful voice and personality the blessing of the lord forever be on your life!!
The first time nappyfu talked about co washes I thought hell nah. I learned the hard way yesterday when my hair felt all sticky I had to go back in and wash with a sulphate shampoo it's much better now. Thanks nappyfu.
NAPPYFU...... sis can we PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 get more videos!! Lawd I can’t keep doing these once in a blue moon videos you be having us on stand by like where she at 🤣🤣 got us going crazy 🤣
I had a hard time actually finding a true 4c hair girl on UA-cam , luckily I came across your videos ❤️ Your videos are super benificial and entertaining and you’re so hilarious. Thanks Gorgeous ✨ GOD BLESS 🙏🏾
Thanks for this video!!! I just posted my 6 year hair update on my channel and after watching it over I admitted to myself that I really don’t love my hair. Don’t get me wrong I love being natural and having 4c hair, but I don’t love it because I don’t take care of it the way I should. If I did I know my hair would be sooooooo much further along, even after all the breakage I’ve had after child birth and such. Your video definitely helped me realize wash day doesn’t have to be a chore, you made it look fun lol. I want my healthy hair back! Thanks for giving me my motivation back because I was really considering just big chopping all over again but I know there’s another way. You just got a new subbie 😘
I I love you and agree with 95% of what you said. I do not agree with what you said about shampooing. I cannot use shampoos. My hair and scalp cannot recover moisture after using chemicals such as shampoos regularly. I cleanse with a mixture of aloe Vera juice and ACV and water. My scalp gets cleansed without stripping. As a child, my grandmother NEVER used shampoos or chemicals on my hair and I had braids to my butt. I spent summers and holidays with her in the tropics and she had aloe and cactus growing everywhere. On Saturdays she would cut a piece of cactus and aloe and scrub my scalp with both and a teaspoon of homemade ACV then wrapped my hair in a plastic bag for a few hours before washing it all out with water. She then slapped on a cup of coconut milk (my granddad would have chopped the coconut that morning and she had grated and extracted the milk), bag me again for an hour, rinse then brushed with a plastic brush (aka The Denman Brush that is all the rave today as though it was some new miracle invention KMT 🤣), slathered with Castor Oil (homemade of course) and rebraided for the week. No shampoos, no prepoo, no after poo...Nothing chemical or packaged. She woukd send me back to Canada for the school term with my suitcase of natural goodies for my mom to take over. So I went back to my roots over a year ago by eliminating shampoos and chemicals. My hair cannot stop thanking me. Find what works.
Oli Wood beautiful! Your grandmother sounds amazing. I think she is talking about co-washing with store bought conditioners though. Sounds like your entire regimen avoids all chemicals including chemical conditioners.
@@politereminder6284 Thank you. Grams is indeed amazing and still going at 90. She and my grandfather lived an organic nature based tropical lifestyle that kept us healthy from head to toe when we visited for holidays.... The complete opposite of life in a big North American city. I was guided back to my roots because I developed lupus and allergies to most processed products. Almost 2 years natural in every way and my hair is thriving and has gone from a cute tiny little 1/4 inch fro to a big curly fro that would make Thelma from Good Times jealous 😁. I keep it braided in 6 thick neck length braids when I don't have social commitments.
Oli Wood so glad your gran is still going. Sorry about the lupus though. That is tough. I live with a similar long-term problem, so I know that it is not easy. Glad that you are off chemicals though. Keep your glorious head up 🙂
I’m fourteen from London and your videos have really helped me with my 4c. I used tot not have a clue what to do with my hair. I don’t even know how to moisturise it but now my hair is rlly thriving thanks to ur Chanel. God bless 🙏🏾
Thank you! This was a word. This is not my hair type but I think we all need to hear this girl. Grooming and taking care of yourself should not be thought of as a chore. Love you!
I’ve tried to find a video on your thoughts of Blue Magic hair grease as part of your LOC. Can you put some light on this? I don’t put it on my scalp, but from my roots to the ends. My mom used this on our hair and we all had beautiful hair.
Its funny how so many "taboo" hair regimens we did back in the day had our hair growing like weeds but now days, doing those same things like greasing your scalp is considered bad.... things that make you go hmmmm
Akilah C. Exactly. I remember my grandmother could press your hair for church and it would stay that way not for days, but a week. To be honest, we only washed our hair once a month. Grandma believed that greasing our scalp protected us from lice. 😂. We had a lot of lice breakouts in our school. We never had them. If grandma found out about lice breakouts, she would head for the sulfa 8 for extra protection. 😂. Burned like crap. Today’s version much milder.
I’m so glad I found somone who’s really 4c. UA-camrs be 3c/4a with a little bit of kink in the back and think they 4c. Have me thinking something wrong with my head.
Okay I am a white girl from Australia and have completely different hair but I am watching your clips girl. Why? Because you are PRECIOUS and hilarious and lift my spirit! And I love hearing you sing. Seriously you need to go to Hollywood woman cos you are a STAR!
Hey gurl! We sho missed you. So glad you're back. You have taught me that I did not have to condition my hair numerous times during a wash day. And making sure I deep condition my hair with heat once during wash day was enough. Thank you so much.
I was deep contioning and your video poped up ! Yes .. Love me some nappyfu.😍 I realized that wash day is for me so I can,take,care of me. There is no need to rush it and I'm seing results.
I shampoo once a week, cowash multiple times a week, DC once a week, and comb my hair multiple times a week. I do not prepoo and wash days are simple. 8 years in, I do not spend unnecessary time. It is not that serious lol...
@Angel Agbettor Well I workout a lot so I cleanse twice more a week in the shower. But my total time styling my hair and cleansing? Less than 20 minutes. Wash day? 45 minutes tops. It is not a chore.
Yeah, I don't pree-po either. I gave it a fair chance, but it's a pointless step for me. What makes my hair happy is when I keep things simple without a bunch of steps. No need to complicate things when I just need to wash, condition, and deep condition. Even my DIY stuff isn't that complicated.

My unrealistic expectation was drying my hair overnight
Chita Diaries my hair needs a day and a half to two days to fully dry
Chita Diaries Same. Let me try and braid it... this scalp won’t dry all week.
The healthier the hair, the more it will retain moisture so that's a good thing💯🤗
Chita Diaries lucky.... I have high porosity hair so my hair dries quickly but retains moisture because I found the right products 😁 FINNALY
Girl same here I have to put my hair in small sections and start in the morning after pre-pooing Saturday evening

i literally just had this revelation a few weeks ago. it also helped that i got over myself and cut my routine in half so i can do it quicker. now that the routine is shorter, i'm more open to doing it weekly and i get it over with before i have the chance the get lazy lol
My mum makes me keep box braids in from September to mid December (4 months without washing it) because my hairdresser decided to do our hair for free and my mum doesn't want her to think that we are taking advantage. I think my hair has grown resilient to that now because during that time, my hair grows wildly.
Heyyyy, I see that length girl. A rinse out conditioner can be used as a deep conditioner if you add some carrier oils. Deep conditioner, rinse out, leave in: if you look at the ingredients they are so similar. Anyways DIYs are good too but watch the pH. I was in sophermore in highschool and I used african black soap with baking soda to wash my hair and after a few wash days(about a month later) my scalp was itchy. I didn't realize the pH of both were alkaline. I did too much diys with out enough research and eventually i shaved my head. Im a senior in highschool now and I'm starting over from the beginning.
What kind of "carrier oils" can be added to a rinse out conditioner to make it suitable for deep conditioning
NLT4Ever u are further along than so many people. It's good that u educated urself.
Yess so true. I do the same with rinse out conditioners as I don't use them on their own as some do.
Anna Frimpong Arhin carrier oils are like olive oil grape seed avocado etc I also add some essential oils. However I find the rinse out conditioners are not thick enough to give the same results as my actual deep conditioners

You are so right about changing your mindset. I dread wash day and my hair hates me. Your videos are motivating me to craft a solid and regular routine.
I don’t understand how you haven’t reached 500k subscribers yet. Your info is great and you always keep it real.
I miss u first comment yay so happy u back making videos
Where were u sis? I was about to call Jo Kenda, I thought someone got to u! Great having you back, you were missed! Loved the video too!
Joe Kenda 😂😂😂. Love him so maaach!!
@@chenzsosmith289 Joe Kenda zsma dude...
That I didn't need to deep condition... The lies I told myself! I am reformed and my hair loves me for it! Welcome back!
The expectation that I once had which quickly went away is that I could wash my hair within a certain a timeframe. In fact I just washed my hair this morning and it took time but it was deliberate because I don't want to miss any steps. I have been natural for almost 4 years and honestly speaking I have not found products that I feel have greatly enhanced my hair, which was another thing I had come to terms with: finding the right product and method will take time. So what I have learned thus far is this: wash day takes time and plan the day you will wash your hair and COMMIT to that day, use the hair care products you have at home and do not waste your money buying new ones until you have finished your current one unless it is necessary, and be patient for Rome was not built in a day. I could add more but this will end up being a long post. Thank you for the video! H-town represent! I'm from Dallas but it's all good because Texas is all up in this :-)!
💕 that growth tho. That shrinkage !💕 the beauty 💕 ughh nappyfu thanks for the knowledge
Yes Girl-Friend!!! Always glad to get new videos from you Beautiful!!!! 💖💖💖Love ya 'Fu'!!
Mickee💕 thank you hun!!!
I am so glad you mentioned cowashing. I followed that trend and the buildup on my hair was crazy. Once instated cleansing my hair my hair FLOURISHED!!! And cleansing doesnt mean harsh ass chemicals people. Wash your hair!!!
Am I the only one who actually enjoys their wash day. I love it that's my day to show myself some love and care.
Yes, you're the only one. Lol
Is that deep conditioning song available on iTunes? 😍
Lmbo!!!!
😂😂😂
Heyyyy sis...hey Fu! 😋 Showing you lots of love all the way from the ATL.
Awesome, funny and informational video as always. You keep our type 4 hair in check. Thanks for always keeping it real, naturally.
An unrealistic wash day expectation for me was a 30 minute wash day routine on 4b / 4c hair. Where's my mama belt? 🤦♀️🤦♀️ That a hot wrong disrespectful mess. I stepped away from the videos on UA-cam and put the work in. Realistically, it takes 2 hours to thoroughly detangle; 1 hour to prepoo; since my hair is in 16 sections due to kinky coily curls, I unravel each section and lather shampoo on them. That takes 20 minutes. Afterwards, I deep condition for 1 hour and style for 2 - 3 hours. I dedicate one day to my hair and take my time. It has definitely thanked me for it. After 4 years of being natural, I have obtained at least 15 inches of hair.
Our kinks and coils are worth it 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for sharing 💙💚💛🧡
Gosh i bet you make everyone smile around you. Your personality is infectious! I know I'm smiling.
🤗Hey Girl, HEEEY! We have completely different hair texture, BUT I need someone like you in my daily life. You make me laugh, your information and delivery style gets
👍🏽👍🏽. 4C Naturals are not the only ones struggling! There are regular folks like me, who fall somewhere between 3s and 4s, unable to retain length or longevity with hairstyles, etc. Where there is easiness in one area, there is a struggle in others. Basically, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Anyway, I'm just here to take away whatever I can to help me do a better job with what God gave me. Thank you for what you do!💞
I thought every wash day I could cut out single strand knots while detangling and it took me HOURS to do this! I realized I have to dust in between washes, I can not spend all day cutting out knots #lessonlearned 😂
Danielle Sappleton I braid my hair in three to four sections on wash day but leave the ends, where I would normally get single string knots, loose in put a little girls tiny barrette at the ends with the hair spread a little which keeps it from tying to each other or forming little single strand knots.
I’m deep conditioning right now with TGIN mixed with Shea Moisture Manuka and Honey because I used henna last night on these greys 😊
ok so its been a while sin e I watched you BUT GIRL your hair has transformed!!!!! look at you!! your hair looks so healthy from when you first started!! love your personality and you have a beautiful voice and personality the blessing of the lord forever be on your life!!
The first time nappyfu talked about co washes I thought hell nah. I learned the hard way yesterday when my hair felt all sticky I had to go back in and wash with a sulphate shampoo it's much better now. Thanks nappyfu.
Im just 1min in and already NappyFu is giving me life. Best videos on UA-cam!!
Sending love from Kenya! I love your videos am learning and laughing alot🤣
4:57 that praise break was everything, felt it in my spirit 🙌🏾
NAPPYFU...... sis can we PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 get more videos!! Lawd I can’t keep doing these once in a blue moon videos you be having us on stand by like where she at 🤣🤣 got us going crazy 🤣
#NapChat That could do my wash day at night while still waking up at 7am for work...
Looking busted and I don't care! Dang I missed you gurrrrrl!!!!! 😘😍
I had a hard time actually finding a true 4c hair girl on UA-cam , luckily I came across your videos ❤️ Your videos are super benificial and entertaining and you’re so hilarious. Thanks Gorgeous ✨ GOD BLESS 🙏🏾
To be honest, you are probably one of my fav ppl on UA-cam. You are just so fun to watch.
I think I'm allergic to wash days . It makes me physically sick . I just can't lol
Lmbo!
Your hair looks great tho!
@@VMRVid NOT by my doing though.
Unrealistic- water rinses and cowashing actually cleansing my hair
🤣🤣
Thanks for this video!!! I just posted my 6 year hair update on my channel and after watching it over I admitted to myself that I really don’t love my hair. Don’t get me wrong I love being natural and having 4c hair, but I don’t love it because I don’t take care of it the way I should. If I did I know my hair would be sooooooo much further along, even after all the breakage I’ve had after child birth and such. Your video definitely helped me realize wash day doesn’t have to be a chore, you made it look fun lol. I want my healthy hair back! Thanks for giving me my motivation back because I was really considering just big chopping all over again but I know there’s another way. You just got a new subbie 😘
NappyFu you have been missed. Its so hard not to like you! thanks for the reminder to wash hair. I've been running from it.
NappyFu Thank You! As always your video is informative and uplifting. Can’t wait for my wash day tomorrow✨
Ah ah!! You're back with your best shenanigans and I'm totally here for it :-)
Nappy fu need to find her self on the charts she got the voice
☺🚿😄 She's Baack!
The Woman,The Queen,
The Guru of Natural 4C hair...Nappy4U! Thanks you for info, I've missed you on UA-cam! 😘
Missed you sis!!!
I I love you and agree with 95% of what you said. I do not agree with what you said about shampooing. I cannot use shampoos. My hair and scalp cannot recover moisture after using chemicals such as shampoos regularly. I cleanse with a mixture of aloe Vera juice and ACV and water. My scalp gets cleansed without stripping. As a child, my grandmother NEVER used shampoos or chemicals on my hair and I had braids to my butt. I spent summers and holidays with her in the tropics and she had aloe and cactus growing everywhere. On Saturdays she would cut a piece of cactus and aloe and scrub my scalp with both and a teaspoon of homemade ACV then wrapped my hair in a plastic bag for a few hours before washing it all out with water. She then slapped on a cup of coconut milk (my granddad would have chopped the coconut that morning and she had grated and extracted the milk), bag me again for an hour, rinse then brushed with a plastic brush (aka The Denman Brush that is all the rave today as though it was some new miracle invention KMT 🤣), slathered with Castor Oil (homemade of course) and rebraided for the week. No shampoos, no prepoo, no after poo...Nothing chemical or packaged. She woukd send me back to Canada for the school term with my suitcase of natural goodies for my mom to take over. So I went back to my roots over a year ago by eliminating shampoos and chemicals. My hair cannot stop thanking me. Find what works.
Oli Wood beautiful! Your grandmother sounds amazing. I think she is talking about co-washing with store bought conditioners though. Sounds like your entire regimen avoids all chemicals including chemical conditioners.
@@politereminder6284 Thank you. Grams is indeed amazing and still going at 90. She and my grandfather lived an organic nature based tropical lifestyle that kept us healthy from head to toe when we visited for holidays.... The complete opposite of life in a big North American city. I was guided back to my roots because I developed lupus and allergies to most processed products. Almost 2 years natural in every way and my hair is thriving and has gone from a cute tiny little 1/4 inch fro to a big curly fro that would make Thelma from Good Times jealous 😁. I keep it braided in 6 thick neck length braids when I don't have social commitments.
Oli Wood so glad your gran is still going. Sorry about the lupus though. That is tough. I live with a similar long-term problem, so I know that it is not easy. Glad that you are off chemicals though. Keep your glorious head up 🙂
@@politereminder6284 And you also. See an MD who is also a naturopath. I am sending you good health vibes. Believe that you are perfect health 💚
Exactly!! Hair loves natural organic products
This whole video had me 💀😂💙 especially the deep conditioning part.
You give the best advice for 4c hair and you should be a comedian, I appreciate you great
Hey Nappyfu! Glad you’re back. I always enjoy your napchat videos! You always get me thinking is my shampoo and conditioner working for me?
What a beautiful voice!
I’m fourteen from London and your videos have really helped me with my 4c. I used tot not have a clue what to do with my hair. I don’t even know how to moisturise it but now my hair is rlly thriving thanks to ur Chanel. God bless 🙏🏾
Thank you! This was a word. This is not my hair type but I think we all need to hear this girl. Grooming and taking care of yourself should not be thought of as a chore. Love you!
I’ve tried to find a video on your thoughts of Blue Magic hair grease as part of your LOC. Can you put some light on this?
I don’t put it on my scalp, but from my roots to the ends. My mom used this on our hair and we all had beautiful hair.
Lena Webb-Bey I have this video on my list! Thanks for asking. I will say I'm not against blue magic grease especially the newer formula.
Its funny how so many "taboo" hair regimens we did back in the day had our hair growing like weeds but now days, doing those same things like greasing your scalp is considered bad.... things that make you go hmmmm
Akilah C. Exactly. I remember my grandmother could press your hair for church and it would stay that way not for days, but a week. To be honest, we only washed our hair once a month.
Grandma believed that greasing our scalp protected us from lice. 😂. We had a lot of lice breakouts in our school. We never had them. If grandma found out about lice breakouts, she would head for the sulfa 8 for extra protection. 😂. Burned like crap. Today’s version much milder.
Lena Webb-Bey haha right
@@lenawebb-bey3642 😂😂😂😂😂..
I can definitely relate to d washing of hair just once a month.
OMG i missed you so much 😘
I’m so glad I found somone who’s really 4c. UA-camrs be 3c/4a with a little bit of kink in the back and think they 4c. Have me thinking something wrong with my head.
Crazy Nappyfu! I love you! :)
Welcome back 😘
Welcome back 🤗🤗🤗
Okay I am a white girl from Australia and have completely different hair but I am watching your clips girl. Why? Because you are PRECIOUS and hilarious and lift my spirit! And I love hearing you sing. Seriously you need to go to Hollywood woman cos you are a STAR!
Hey gurl! We sho missed you. So glad you're back. You have taught me that I did not have to condition my hair numerous times during a wash day. And making sure I deep condition my hair with heat once during wash day was enough. Thank you so much.
That's a lovely voice there😍😍😍😍👂👂
I didn’t push the like button yet until you sang lol I was weak yassss
Love the knowledge but I can’t help but laugh at your comedy antics ! Lol you are hilarious 😂
I was deep contioning and your video poped up ! Yes .. Love me some nappyfu.😍 I realized that wash day is for me so I can,take,care of me. There is no need to rush it and I'm seing results.
For deep conditioning with heat I wet a face towel and put it in the microwave and put it on top of my hair
Oh Wow...thanks.
I shampoo once a week, cowash multiple times a week, DC once a week, and comb my hair multiple times a week. I do not prepoo and wash days are simple. 8 years in, I do not spend unnecessary time. It is not that serious lol...
I have the exact same routine,it works when I'm relaxed or natural.❤
@Angel Agbettor Well I workout a lot so I cleanse twice more a week in the shower. But my total time styling my hair and cleansing? Less than 20 minutes. Wash day? 45 minutes tops. It is not a chore.
Yeah, I don't pree-po either. I gave it a fair chance, but it's a pointless step for me. What makes my hair happy is when I keep things simple without a bunch of steps. No need to complicate things when I just need to wash, condition, and deep condition. Even my DIY stuff isn't that complicated.
You are so entertaining and I don't even have 4c hair but love all your advice and personality. Subscriber
Thank you so much!
I literally CAN NOT breathe! You are too funny!
