I vote for a hair grease vid please 🙋🏾♀️
I vote for hair grease. Definitely want to hear a chemists' point of view🎉!
Yes!!!
Felisa's Follicle College I was just about to type this too. It’s starting to make its rounds in the natural community again
Grease and grease alternatives, please 🙌🏽
I love grease!
@Brittany S Made of petroleum.
I have fine, high porosity hair. My favorite butter is mango butter. To moisturize my hair I spray with water, apply a leave in conditioner or cream moisturizer, then apply an oil or a butter. My hair loves it! I’m def taking some mango butter on the cruise 💜
Thanks for that I’m looking for a mango butter 👍 tried every other butter lol.
P.M.P sounds like another version of the L.O.C or L.C.O method etc. I love the way u delivered your knowledge to us non chemists without making it boring or too long. U made it straight to the point & easy to gather. Thanks!
Exactly!
I was about to say too... I am doing the LCO méthod... with hers it is more like OLC... I’ll try it to see🤗
It's definitely the LOC method.
Just five minutes ago bought 5lbs of Shea butter and then saw this video pop and was like NOOOOOOO! Immediate buyers remorse before even viewing it, thinking you would recommend something else. My hair literally changes the second I put Shea butter on it! It immediately softens my hair and smooths down my frizz. I loveee it!!
Ladies just an FYI a lot of the shea butters that claim to be USDA certified aren’t! I was double checking through the USDA integrity database to verify claims. Sharing for those of you who care...
Hey Helen, if your hair loves shea butter, girl use that thing!! Ain't nothing wrong with shea, I love shea too! Don't feel bad about that 5lb bag, always use what works for you! :-)
Curly Chemistry haha yes, thank you for your reply. I almost bought Mango butter but figured I would stick to what I was confident in. Maybe another time
Helen if you don't mind me asking. (I really do care) Where did you buy your Shea Butter? Thank you.
blueangel1985 I don’t mind at all...I ordered from a company called Mary Tylor Naturals, it’s my first time ordering so I can’t speak on quality. I just know they were certified on USDAs integrity site. They are on amazon but their site has more options and the shipping was the same price so I just ordered directly from there. However, what I can stand by is my fav company to get herbs, oils and butters is Mountain Rose Herb, their shipping (If order is under $75) is hefty but otherwise their quality is awesome and I appreciate the companies integrity. You can visit their site and read up on their fair trade practices and all their organic certifications. I do not work for them lol. I’ve just been a fan for years :)
I would have ordered from them but due to Covid-19 they are closed. I hope that helps!
@@Xoxmickey05 Thank you so much. That was kind of you. I will check into both places. 🌞
My custom blend is equal parts cocoa butter, Shea butter, mango butter, and coconut oil. That's the butter I'd bring. Technically it's still one butter.
Technically it sure is!! :-D
Hair grease video. It grew my hair as a child, and I have recently went back to it. My hair has always loved it and its affordable.
Please do a video on dandruff and naturally dry scalp. I’ve always had dry scalp no matter what products I use after day 2 my scalp is dry like the desert
I’d love to see your opinion on the cheapie conditioners such as suave, V05 etc.. maybe even a hair product vlog at dollar tree🤔 love your videos! I appreciate the science behind your videos!!
Great suggestion! :-)
I will love to see a video about this.
Yes, ditto that😊
VHO5 conditioner moisturize my hair so good. It’s surprising as hell.😂
Yes, please! Eight kinky heads in this house- we *need* a dollar store conditioner
Because I'm medium to high porosity, I choose to bring Mango butter along with aloe vera and fenugreek. They are very moisturizing and the fenugreek just help with the retention of hair growth among other properties.
You really need your own show. You deserve it!! really. Everyone talking about hair. NO DEGREES. NO education... you HAVE the CREDENTIALS. YOu need your own show or podcast or something. I'll be your first viewer
I must say your channel is very necessary. There are so may trends/routines out there for the natural hair community, but you explain and break it down to us. You putting the time to educate us can help someone figure out what works for their hair, instead of trying to guess what they must do to maintain length. AND I LOVE HOW YOUR VIDOES GET TO THE POINT! THEY ARE NOT UNNECESSARY LONG, but you explain everything in less than 10 minutes. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE FACTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO BACK EVERYTHING UP, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATURAL COMMUNITY. You are saving people hair! Keep doing what you love most, while helping people....MAY GOD BLESS!
Claudemir Seneus thank you soooo much! I truly appreciate it! I’m so glad I can serve my community! 🤗☺️
Moisturuzation is hydration. can't get hydration without the h20. ❤ This vid makes so much sense.
Omg! If I didn’t know any better, I’d pursue chemistry... but I do, so I’ll just continue being a fan and cheer you on! I love your presentation, and as someone said earlier in the comments, you break things down so well for the non-chemist folks. Like, I’m literally following your explanations... Your contribution is soooo appreciated! Many Thanks!!😇💜❤️
I now understand butters, thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
👋🏾Hey beautiful young lady come through and drop that hair science for us
Thank you! :-)
We NEED the PMP video soon, ma’am!
I'm low porosity & I recently started using butters on my hair just before putting it in twists or mini braids & I can say my hair is getting stronger.
Oils on scalp, butters on hair.💯😁
I use avocado butter! My hair is high density AND high porosity hair and fine strands. Silicones, grease and butters (and oils) are my friends lol as long as I wash weekly (sulfate free shampoo)
Also please talk about the curly girl method!!!! Something I never used lol
What's that method?
@@corpsekitten_9686 Cowashing instead of shampooing and using water soluble products to not cause buildup.
Chebe butter can change the texture of your hair, by tightening/enhancing your curl pattern (and therefore make it feel course or rough textured).
I'm currently working in a chemistry lab and it really got me thinking about how to best treat my hair. I'm really binging all of your videos now. And oh, I am definitely bringing shea butter.
It better butters for your hair than shea butter even tho its the cheaper
I usually do the LOC method, with almond oil being my choice. I have long 4b thick hair. 15 yrs of trial and error, lol. And still learning which is good.
You are smart!! I wish you could take my chemistry course for me for my Master's degree. I'm avoiding it like the Coronavirus!!
This is my first time watching your video and I'm gonna get a notebook specifically for your videos to take notes so I can refer back. New subscriber.
I still use grease sometimes. I alternate among grease, oil, and serums.
Definitely Mango 🥭 Butter!!!!
Love it as always!! 😊💙🙌🏽 Thanks Tonya, God bless!
Thank youuu! 😊God bless you too!!
Curly Chemistry thanks!! 🙏🏽
I would love for you to actually show brands or recommend brands in a step by step because while your information is excellent and love watching your videos for me it’s a bit confusing
@@CurlyChemistry Did you ever end up doing this? I can't find the video on the channel 🤔
From one chemist to another, thank you for all the facts! Too many consumers get deceived on products and it is refreshing to hear someone set the record straight on ingredients. So my cruise/vacation butter would have to be my kokum/murumuru mix - it's the best 😍
Thank you so much for your comment! It means a lot! ☺️💜
I tend to avoid butters so I haven't bought very many. But if I have to choose it'd be between Shea or Cocoa. Shea might win bc its easy to find where I live, its affordable and doesn't require softening to scoop out.
But I do really like cocoa butter bc once you manage to dig it out of the container and emulsify it it's much lighter, less greasy and it smells better than Shea butter.
Tfs. Valuable info.
Can you do a video on DYI Whipped Shea Butter? How to make sure it keeps. What are the best companion oils to add. Since coconut oil is a penetrating oil does it make sense to add it into your whipped mixture. How to stabilize the texture of the whip. Thanks.
I would love you to explain protein sensitivity, how it comes about and what you can do to help grow and moisturise that particular type of hair.
I believe many more black women may have this and not know. For many years, my hair never grew and I didn't know why. It was obviously breaking and I was using hair products with alot of aloe vera and coconut oil. I know now to avoid any hair products with coconut oil in it. Which means lots of reading on the back of bottles and jars. Luckily being a scientist helps me out.My hair will also turn brittle snd straw like if I leave them in too long:rice water ,aloe vera,henna and amla, bamboo etc. But it does love honey, avocado oil, light butters and milky leave in moisturisers.
Thanks so much in advance.
From a cousin also in STEM!
Never thought about butters like that...an oil. I'm excited to watch your PMP video!
Thanks for the information in this video, though!
Thanks Desiray!! :-)
Curly Chemistry I can’t wait for the PMP video
I'm assuming it's the same logic as with the LOC method
The PMP video is good. I watched it before I watched this video. She's such a great educator. I became a subscriber of her channel just from watch that one video. Today July 1, 2020 is the first time I came across her channel, and I am loving what I see.
The way cocamidopropylbetaine rolled off the tongue ❤️
Very easy to understand thank you for answering these questions and explaining it so well. Whenever I would use butters to "moisturize" my hair it would dry it out and not moisturize at all. I thought I was doing something wrong lol. Thank you for explaining this in such detail.🤗
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching! :-)
because butters is heavy oil
Great info as usual . What ever topic u talk about is alright with me. You give me knowledge and not some stuff that is made up because you were told about it. I look forward to your video’s☺️
Thank you Kelsey!! :-)
I’m just watching for support, this is interesting. I don’t use oils or butters in my hair at all...and my hair is grateful for it.
Reesha Miller quick question if you don’t use anything what is your method and what do you use?
Im asking because i noticed lately that my hair is not responding well to butters or oils but im afraid that with a leave in conditioner only it will not seal in the moisture. Please help a sister out Im not really a fan of gel either only if im doing a wash and go. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
@@user-nq8nl4wh9w hope you don't mind me replying. I use and oil for my scalp.I seal my hair with grease or a hair serum. Oil rolls off my hair and gets everywhere unless it's a real light oil.
JMocha 74 thank you. I been using castor oil for my ends oil and goodbye to ssk. I use olive for my scalp.
Can someone please tell me what is her profession? is it lecturing, teaching, or chemist? You are so confidence and articulate. First timer and was not disappointed. Anticipating subsequent ones.
Thank you for the science behind these things we use. Some of us are battling thin spots where hair is not growing fast enough and keeps breaking. It's good to have someone break down the science to try n figure this problem out. You're very pretty thanks again for your enlightening channel! I like Shea Butter!
I'm so glad an EXPERT is on UA-cam to guide us in our hair care. Its not opinions its FACTS!! Im soooooo SUBSCRIBING❤💚💜💙💛
I like coconut oil in my hair along with grape seed oil and castor oil. But that good ole hair grease is definitely making a comeback. Im going back to using Dax. It made my hair flourish when I was a child . We need to stop breaking what worked once for us . If it ain’t broken. Don’t fix it.
Shea butter is my go to. To all, stay safe and be well 💜
I would take my butter mix: shea, coconut and olive oil
I would bring Shea Butter, Love Your Channel
Oh wow!!!! I am really loving the vibes of uour channel! And I also love the idea of the P&P method. I feel that my hair's porosity (LOW LOW LOW) and my texture (kinky) are reasons why the loc method and other variations as well as moisturizing and sealing methods are reasons why my hair always felt dry. Due to the chemical structure of penetrating products and non penetrating products, i feel that this makes sense: penetrating product, moisturize, non penetrating product! I'm gonna try it! Thank you again!!!
And I love butters, but I don't have an absolute favorite for my hair.
Soooo....I will have to say peanut butter lol. But shea butter and cocoa butter are amazing for my skin. You all be blessed and thank you again!!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗🤗
I like hair butter for my fine, high porosity strands the best. Hair grease is too oily/greasy for me due to the fact that I have to be a little heavy handed with my products to fully protect my hair. Butters can be oily too but I find that butters (Shea is my absolute favorite) works extremely well on my hair due to the fatty content. I use 22nd Century natural hair products and honey, they are the best thing that’s EVER happened to my hair and it’s black owned and family operated. I use her shampoo bar, deep conditioner, herbal hair pomade and her twisting cream and my hair has been in the best shape of its life. For a leave in, I use Lush Super Milk Conditioning spray. Omg, not only does it smell heavenly but it leaves my hair extremely soft and moisturized. I spray on my hair and slather on my hair pomade. Moisture for two weeks I promise you!
PMP method makes alot more sense than LoC/LCO!!! II say this because it does may it CLEAR the actual purpose of products for each step. I have high porosity hair and penetrate is a must for me, because hygal fatigue. Hygal fatigue is actually real because in the summer, I was constantly spraying my hair with water to give my hair a moisturized look and it would dry again and snap easily, also I would add oils like grapeseed oil thinking it is penetrating but it was really protecting. Currently, I am using Belle BAR organic products such as onion and garlic oil, and BBO argan oil butter, adowa baomint oil, grapseed oil and now avocado oil. How do I create a hair regimen using the PMP method for my hair regmien such as pre poo days, hot oil+deep conditioning and my leave in steps? Thank you so much!!
I have low porosity but my ends are high porosity and I use cocoa butter on my ends... Lcob method 👌🏿
Love this series! I am starting to make natural conditions and I am so glad you talked about why "water" is needed and about moisturizing.
1-You’re Beautiful
2-Intelligent
3-Speak Well
4-Relatable
Me.Tanya, you need your own TV Show!!!!
Hello ! What penetrates better in the scalp ? A water based spritz or an oil ? I am asking because I keep hearing that our skin has an hydrolipodic barrier and that water based products actually don’t penetrate it. Please help 🥰🥰
U make hair care fun and less complicated. Science helps you understand the why behind something.
I love me some hair grease. All you need is water, moisturizer and grease. Your hair will last for a week.
Felicia Dunn so true!!
I’d rather stick with butters
All I need is some shea butter, avocado oil and water. grease = extra stiff hair
YES, Felicia!
I went back to using grease, and my hair has never thrived as well as it has now. Even if times change again and grease goes back out of style in the natural hair care community, I will keep using it.
Yes recently bought a huge amount of both raw mango and raw Shea . I use Shea moisture castor oil ans hisbiscus oil leaven in the moisture alongside castor oil, lavender , grape seed oil, argon oil, extra virgin oil oil, extra virgin coconut oil, peeper mint oil and leave in rosemary Mielle conditioner . Thank you for the information . And hair mayo ors, aloe oil, hair oil hair mayo Africas best. I have thin hair .
Very very informative. Before, i was wrong about using butter and oil at the same Time.😒 But now, i know what to use on my hair. Big thank you!!!!
Looking forward to the PMP video.
Could you do a segment on Ethiopian butter? I have seen this is just whipped up using a heavy whipping cream. Definitely would love to hear your thoughts and recipes on it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! Could you touch up on organic, coldpress, and expelled oils vs not and what your thoughts are please?
Organic and cold press are the best to buy, I avoid expeller pressed because heat is normally involved in processing that oil. Heat can remove a lot of the nutrients and benefits that oils naturally come with.
I can't wait to see your PMP Method. Hair grease.... Hmmm can we have a DIY? I want to formulate my own.
It would be nice if you talked about silicone serums for sealing vs an oil. Or good oils/butters for people who have scalp conditions, as oils can feed the bacteria on their scalps.
You need a dermatologist
Putting MSM Sulfur on your scalp just before washing will kill the naturally-occurring fungus on the scalp (and then your hair will naturally increase its growth rate!)
Much needed info thank you..nice to know I'm in the right direction with my hair. I will definitely take Mango butter with me if i get stuck in the islands for sure..my high porosity hair cannot survive without heavy butter 🤗🤗
Wow, So PMP is like an enhanced version of LOC to prevent Hygral Fatigue! I must say I am impressed. Because i always been concerned about over moisture.
I'll try that out.
Will be waiting for your PMP video, I love the science you provide.
I’m new to your channel and this is the 2nd video I’ve watched. So impressed with you, I just purchased your e-book! My fav go to butter is Cocoa Butter. I love the full chocolatey smell, especially paired with peppermint essential oil. Also bcz it not only protects hair and adds shine, it protects your skin and gives it that “inner” glow.
the internet keep saying that avocado butter is best for low porosity and the oil. i havent heard you mention it so pleased tell me if its a fact before i buy it. loved this Q&A
Shea butter is a holy grail for me ✨
I'm late to the party. Just finding out about your channel. Thanks for the simplicity of your delivery. Will tell others. Subscribed!😊
I've never stop using hair grease💯
My one must-have oil/butter is coconut oil! I use it on my hair and body, love it‼️❤️‼️ Great video!
Coconut is what my hair is loving right now! :-)
It almost destroyed my hair after a year of using it (too much protein). I switched to shea butter/olive oil and as a result my hair is amazing. See Naptural 85’s video on coconut oil and what it did to her hair.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have had dry hair for a long time.. snap, crackle and pop... Lots of people have told me try this and that or their natural hair product? Only to find out it did nothing for my hair. Just because it is all natural does not mean it is the right chemistry for my hair. Everybody has a formula for their hair and you have saved me from wasting more money on products that do not work for my hair texture. I now understand what I have been doing wrong. I had no real understanding of how some of these moisturizers + oils + butters + porosity. Based on porosity of my hair I can make an informed decision about the combination that works best. Thank you !!!!!!
I'd bring my coconut and hemp oil blend for sure! It's my favorite hair sealant + my everyday post-bath moisturizer (along with aloe vera gel)!
Hair grease is making a comeback its slowly creeping its way back...
I'm happy. If it anit broke don't fix it. Black women used grease for years and their hair thrived.
Jayla Anderson YESS! Better stock up now because the prices inflate lol
I just need to know how to tell if it's still good to use because I'm finding grease in my mother's home that she stopped using years ago so is it smell test that tells me it's okay? Or should I wait to see if the hair falls out?
I’m so so happy to have come upon your video! “PMP” gave me sooo much understanding. I’d been doing it but the understanding of it now has solidified the steps of my hair routine in my regimen so I don’t have to test and try which order of things to do anymore. I now understand what works and why! I appreciate you soooo much!
A big thank you! My daughter has thick high porosity hair and her hair does not like coconut oil but I've recently got some Babassu oil and using your PMP method. It's only been a couple of weeks but its made such a difference!
What 3 people had the NERVE to not like this video? Slip of the finger right? :-) Because this information is so good!!!
Why is it that natural hair coaches don’t talk about fine, high porosity? You mentioned thick, low porosity and fine low porosity but not fine high porosity.
Ro Jones great question! In that case I would recommend an oil over a butter. Avocado or grapeseed would be good options. ☺️
Well I use shea butter on my body, but my hair doesn't do well with butters. After seeing this video, it could be user error. So for my hair I would bring Jojoba or Grapeseed cause my hair loves those oils.
My fav combo is aloe vera juice and yellow shea butter
A video can never be short enough for me. I need to reclaim my time throughout the day.
But I find your videos the absolute best and always end up listening to the whole thing. Love how the YT Community as a whole share great facts, techniques and experiences. Blessings🕊🎼🌝
My fav hair care in cantu for babies ...I have fine hair now
I am so happy i discovered your channel. Thank you so much for breaking down these hair products for us, and being honest.
Can you do a video on high porosity and fine strands?
Heyyyy Tonya, I couldn’t wait to relax to day and watch this video. I luv butters on my hair (I use them as a sealant). I use to whip up my own shea butter back in the beginning of my hair journey right after I did my BC.
Can’t wait to hear your break down on Hair Grease.
Continue to stay healthy and safe 🙏🏾
Thank you sis! :-)
I’m so happy I sound you I have thick low porosity hair, and it’s hard to find people who do online!
You are BRILLANT!! I LOVE this video! You have taught me sooo much in this short video about butters and how to use them. I thank you from the Top of my heart!! LOL!! Can't wait to receive your book!! I am ordering it NOW!
Always, enjoy your content. I have low porosity, with thin strands and I use Shea butter ( and heavier oils). My hair loves it. I don't use a lot, enough to seal/protect the moisture/hydration in my hair. The Shea butter I prefer to use is from Natty Naturals.com. I noticed how beautiful your hair before you mentioned it.
Can't wait for the p.m.p video. In regards to your next vid---it doesn't matter. I am here for them all. 🤸
Thank you Cara!
My hair loves some butters! Shea butter is my go to and I use it on my wet but detailed and sectioned hair. A question I have is does the porosity of your hair change with the temperature water you consistently wash it in?
I would definitely have Jamaican castor oil with me that is the go-to for me makes my head feel so fabulous
Probably a little mixture I get off Etsy but I think it's mostly coconut and shea butter. It's a mix. So it's one thing I would bring!
Hair grease video,please! I love the knowledge you share in a version I can understand 💕
Been telling these things to people but the sciencey part is needed.
Thank you! I've never tried a butter by itself for styling, but I would take the Curl Enhancing Smoothie which has shea butter in it.
Mine is Shea butter straight 💯😍
Tallow contains Vitamins A, D, K, & E, & B12, conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) with natural anti-inflammatory properties, oleic acid (omega 9), palmitic acid, and stearic acid which have beneficial healing and soothing properties
I live for this. I look forward to you creating your own line!
Would you class Jamaican Caistor Oil as Protection?
Going to wash my hair and use what I have. I have:
PENETRATION - Coconut Oil
MOISTURE - Water
PROTECTION - Jamaican Black Castor Oil
My hair is a mess and I'm trying to put the strength back in my hair. I had it natural and had to relax it to get employment. I truly regret this! I think natural hair is way easier to manage than relaxed hair and I miss my natural curls. My scalp has grown to hate relaxers because it itches whenever I apply chemicals to it. When it's natural, it's like my scalp is free and doesn't itch at all. Also I noticed that my scalp keeps cleaner for weeks.
Greetings from London and loving your educational videos. 💖
I thank God for you. I love you. You have inspired me so much to in my current first year in chemistry. Thank you!
Could you also discuss the differences between Polysorbate-20 and 80 and how to mix it. Thank you. Be blessed
You just dropping knowledge and I appreciate it.
Thank you! :-)
So if you aren’t putting butters on wet hair are you putting it on dry hair? Or is it about how wet (damp, wet, soaked)?
I learn so much from your channel! I just started transitioning my hair and I’ve been watching a tjj on of videos over the past few weeks and I must say your videos are just full of information. I’ve been moisturizing my hair with a butter for weeks and I guess this would explain why my hair was always so dry. Thanks again for another great as video
Love this video. I honestly grew up on blue magic and the red royal grease my mom use to put in my hair, but I use shea butter which helps with the moisture and Jamaican castor oil for growth. This was awesome thank you for sharing.
Thank for educating us!!!! Your information is always appreciated 😊
Thanks for another awesome vid and detailed valuable info. You helped me figure my hair issue. I need to wash it more thoroughly and use ligher oil. And I believe in hair grease..grew my hair well
My As I am Double butter first ingredient is Aqua/water.
