Ms Vanntastic, Do u do this process each time the client is getting service? Is this weekly, bi weekly or monthly. I was under the understanding that hair is not suppose to be clarified often and that that isn't good for the hair? Help!
@@crystaljackson240 Mr… and if you follow up with the moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner then you’ll also add more moisture and seal when styling; I don’t notice it causing any harm my clients also don’t mention anything about dryness during consultations. I also feel like your hair is better prepared for the moisture when it’s completely cleansed. My clients usually come every two weeks. Also try what works for you. If you feel like it’s making your hair dry don’t do it.
This is the exact process I follow now. I learned from natural hair stylists on IG. The saturation, the shampooing from a cleansing and moisturizing shampoos, and the raking were all from different stylists lol. My hair used to tangle so bad when I shampooed and I wondered why. I use to loose so much hair and now I know why. The raking in a downward direction is a game changer. Another one is applying a leave-in conditioner in the shower and raking it through, throwing on a shower cap and then showering to let it sink into the hair and let the steam work through. I wish I knew all these things years ago because I would have hair down to my ankles right now. Thanks girl. You’re a real one. 💜
I used to wash my hair in sections. Oh, the tangles and knots and breakage was horrible 🥺. Even after pre-pooing and detangling. It was as if I had not detangled st all. So, I tried this method after watching your video and OMG no tangles and the amount of hair n the shower and sink after detangling next to nothing. Thank you, Nappyfu! 💕💕
Being able to see what I'm doing has helped tremendously. I don't know Those people. Not affiliated with anyone but having a large non-fog mirror in the shower has changed my game. I spend the right time in the right section and my hair has thanked me.
My hair is too weak to detangle wet so I detangle out of the shower with a table mirror and a lot of sectioning clips. Lol!...while watching streaming.
OMG its the voice over for me! Thanks for another great video and tip girl! Definitely will be trying this the next time I wash my hair because the way I've been struggling? I stopped washing in sections and I was ready to go back but.... I'll try this first.
Hey sis!!! Awww thanks for watching!!! Stepping thangs up thanks for noticing! Yes girl this method has been a game changer for me. Hope you like it too!!
@@NappyFu hi im asking if you ever used miracle mink hair products this is what I'm using now I'm kinda ifey about it cause everything works but I haven't seen length with my hair yet I heard what you said near the end of this message and in gonna see if it works for me or not cause I got some stubborn kincks
@@RacleandRaHill I deep condition as needed. So it isn't on a specific schedule. As long as my hair is healthy and behaving well I don't deep condition. If I had to guess maybe a couple times a year.
This is how I've shampooed my hair for many years. I was just too lazy to put it in twists and shampoo in sections. Yes, I tried it but it was a no for me. The funny thing is I never realized that it was the reason my shampoo time was so short compared to other naturals.
oh yeah once I get these faux locs out, I'm going to try this method! it takes me atleast 40 minutes to detangle alone... and even that is being very generous!
Oh my goodness! I tried this. Not only was my hair less tangled but it took me way less Time to style my 4c low-porosity hair in cornrows and twists than it normally would have. It usually takes me waaaay longer because of tangles etc
OKAY! if anyone wanted to know how well this method actually works👏🏾let me tell you (😂 nappyfu is probably gonna kill me). But after watching this video I tried this technique on my hair that’s been hiding under a wig for a month (I’m a junior in college lol don’t judge) NO detangling, low moisture etc !! And this technique cut my wash day IN HALF. I jumped straight in the shower (without detangling beforehand) and immediately got to work with this technique. Most of the shed hair came out and it was a lot easier to finish my wash day than I thought😇 I can’t wait to wash my hair again Bc Ik it’ll be SO quick with week ago hair that is already moisturized. ♥️ thank you nappyfu for sharing this technique and I 100% recommend you guys try it (p.s. I have 4c mid chest length hair)
I haven't washed Ms Thang open in about 2 years and now she's about 2 inches from waist length. It actually gives me a bit of anxiety to see others do it lol. But I love what you said about trial and error and finding out what works for you
Well said "don't force what doesn't work for your hair. For a long time I forces using shea butter on my hair because the natural hair community said it's the best and my hair doesn't like shea butter. once in a while I can get away with using a little on my ends if its mixed with conditioner but rare. xoxo
I use to use this method when I first went natural over a decade ago. Later I started doing the twist method and that didn’t work. My hair would be a spider web. I went back to detangling with my fingers while shampooing and it’s so much better.
No lie I just discovered this too about my 4c hair and shampooing, & I’ve been natural for 5 years 😩. I would use the black soap shampoo from Shea moisture religiously each wash because I like that it really left my scalp and hair feeling clean but my hair would be tangled and stripped. I bought a moisturizing shampoo and my wash days have been less painstakingly long and easy to detangle. Now I only use the black soap shampoo when I need a good cleansing. Absolute game changer!
All the foam from the shampoo helps my hair separate. I think black people got this idea that we can take shampoo and just rub it in all over our head. But I find smoothing it and using it almost like a conditioner works better to avoid tangles. I also heard of the clarifying and then moisturizing shampoo trick and it works well as well. I also like to leave moisturizing shampoos on like a mask for maybe 3 minutes so they can really clean and moisturize.
Thank goodness, thought I was the only 1 who doesn't do sections to wash, my hair detangles while rinsing. And yes I wash in one direction too, maybe that's why it's always worked for me. Glad you've shared for others ❤ Have a great week
I used to wash my hair in twists. The tangles were ridiculous... I stopped about a year ago and started washing my hair like a normal person... I was as shocked as u are how easy detangling was...
I tried recently washing first with a clarifying shampoo. Then the second wash with an actual cowash product. Loved the results. Much easier to detangle
NappyFu, this is the method I use. I don't prepoo. I wet my hair and detangle under running water with a comb to remove shed hair then I shampoo in the same manner you demonstrated in the video in two large sections and deep condition. Shampoo to style and dry under a hooded dryer is 2 1/2 hours.
My hair is funny to me because it looks like an Afro wig. My edges are really full and fluffy looking so ppl think it’s an unplucked wig😅 so doing a combo of both these methods works for me. I do this to each section and clip up each section after I rinse it. Then deep condition.It helps to already have my twist or braids in the day bay before usually from prepooing.
I stopped washing my hair in twists immediately after I tried it, that was 4 years ago. My hair just knotted up so much. It just didn't work. I thought it was cause my hair was short. Thank you. My hair feels seen🥰😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's seems so simple but I can't belive I haven't been doing this to this extent. Like I thought I was. But I think the emphasis on one direction is the key.
Nappy Fu always comes through!! I’ve had my natural hair in different braided protective styles for the last 4-6 months and you know how it is after not touching your hair for sooooo long. It can be intimidating to jump back into the swing of things! I miss my curls, but I’ve been dreading taking out my braids because of the shampoo process specifically. I’ve never found a method that’s worked for me, so I usually dread shampooing. This video came RIGHT on time, girl I could cryyyy. Also, so glad you made it clear washing in sections doesn’t work for you! It doesn’t work for me either, but I felt like I was the only one so I assumed I was doing it incorrectly and kept trying. I can’t wait to try this method! Thanks sis!
oh no.... I don't envy you at all. Get you a mirror. Amazon prime Netflix, Disney Plus, Tivo whatever and a whole 24 hours to take down and detangle with oil and butter. Start with your fingers, a wide-tooth comb then go down to a medium tooth comb then a small tooth comb and then a tangle teezer or a tangle angel. Then add you a store-bought pre-poo. Then clarify that hair twice and then use a moisturising shampoo and moisturising deep conditioner. The next week add in some Olaplex and some protein shampoo and conditioner mixed together. Then go back to the moisture routine. When I could get braids ( no more due to scalp problems but I'm old) I only used to get them in for 12 weeks. Then wear my own hair for 2-4 weeks before putting them back in. If I was in your position that is how I would take them down and detangle my hair... your hair needs to be detangled before any shampoo or wet conditioner hits it...otherwise matting!!! Good luck.
@@marleyhill34 thanks for the tips! I finally washed last night, I started at 3pm and ended at 1am😅. Used water, my fingers, and a wide toothed comb to detangle. Then I shampooed my scalp on dry hair to break up some of the buildup. Then shampooed in the shower using the method in this video. I must admit, it was muchhhh easier and I was able to limit my tangles well. Then I deep conditioned and left it for about an hour, rinsed and gave myself a braid out. 2 whole Netflix series later 😂😂 I’m still searching for a clarify/moisturize shampoo combo (if you have some suggestions, feel free), but as of now I’m using the design essentials avocado/almond. It doesn’t cause as many tangles as other shampoos do. I have a pretty strict regimen and keep my styles in for about a month and a half with several months in between and when it’s out I deep condition every 3 weeks and shampoo every 6. I’ve just been traveling a lot while the country opened up and natural hair on vacation is too much for me. Super appreciate your tips!
@@tibrown1653 glad the process went well. Design essentials is a good brand... I'm certain they have a clarifying shampoo too because I have seen cosmetologists use both on their clients. My natural hair on vacation is the easiest because I go swimming every day so I never style it and just wear an afro puff or a faux hawk. Vacation time is super lazy hair for me. Lol!
@@marleyhill34 yes, that was my thinking. That’s mostly what I see stylists using. Hopefully it’s because it’s good and not because it’s in expensive in bulk 😅
@@tibrown1653 I don't bulk buy my shampoo. One 8 oz bottle lasts me a whole year with shampooing every week and lathering twice. Also, shampoo expires in 2-3 years. Now deep conditioner.... that's another matter I use a lot of that!
I have been washing my hair the same way but when I use a clarifying shampoo it’s VERY difficult to rack through my hair. So I mainly focus on my scalp with with that shampoo. Gently pull my hair apart (not to much). Then when I use the moisturizing shampoo I rake that through.
Nappyfu you are sooooooo right about the way you wish the hair does make a difference on how you wash it. The way you wash your hair that’s way, it’s the same way I wash my hair now but the first four years of my eight year being natural didn’t work but the last four years I’ve been doing it the same way you do, now the last four years I’ve been doing it like that where are you been doing it works so good for me.
NappyFu, you done told me! I too use to wash my hair in twists and my hair would still be tangled afterwards. That's because I was massaging my scalp in all different directions. So I stopped and just wash it loose. But I was still getting tangles because I don't necessarily keep everything in one direction. Well, I will from now on. Thank you so much!
It's amazing how your hair journey can take so many twists and turns. I've been washing my hair in sections for years but recently due to not wanting to step out of the bathroom to get my clips..I ended up washing it without them and the earth didnt shatter! It didnt slow me down in any way and I saved my hair from the snagging of the clips. I still focus on one area at a time but now there's no margin also all my hair gets rinsed at the same time and it feels happy. I've even dared to let my hair air dry out of sections and shrink down. I was almost scared cause I usually never allow that and I was amazed by how easy it was for me to handle my hair. I've gained alot of experience over the years, been through many set backs and I can honestly say that I enjoy doing my hair now. I keep things simple and try to be consistent. I wash weekly, avoid intricate hairstyles and I always try to be gentle.
Latoya Ebony showed this method in her latest video. I plan to try this for my next wash day. TressesofAlexis and SheRea DelSol double cleanse as well but usually with different products (clay wash w/ cowash or clay wash with shampoo). So I have done clay wash and shampoo. But not the 2 types of shampoos. Thanks!
Using a moisturizing shampoo after a all purpose or clarifying shampoo starts to lay the cuticles down so detangling and conditioning is easier. More cleansing shampoos blast the cuticles open so it's important to close them! Great video 😊
I already do this method because I don't like how my hair feels after using a good cleansing shampoo! I have to use a moisturizing one afterwards. I always finger detangle during shampooing as well, and my conditioning process takes at max five minutes when my hair is split in half. I love it! My hair has been thicker than ever.
I’ve been doing this for about 4 years now. I have to because I still use grease. It’s been working wonders for me and you can really tell a big difference between the two types of shampoo.
girl I’ve missed you! I did something very similar to this today while I was shampooing my hair and it did wonders! I was very shocked lol, because I used to wash my hair in twists and I’d get more tangles after shampoo 😑so thanks for always teaching us something 💜
I wash my hair then put deep conditioner and I don't comb my hair until I'm rinsing out the condition under the water and when I tell you this method changed my life. I'm like I've been natural since 2016 and I have a lot of hair which tangles on itself; I probably have 10 hairs out of each root lol but my hair is tailbone length as well; but I have NEVER been able to comb my hair quickly. I use the denman paddle brush to comb and rinse my deep conditioner out under the running water and wha la, gurl, it's like magic.
I totally agree to do what works best for you!!! As much as we would like to believe that one thing works for all of our individual locs.... IT DOESN'T 🤣I hope the people hear you 👂 My hair thanked me🙌❤
i gave up on sections a long time mainly because it took too long to work it so i began shampooing the way you did in this video and i have been happy for a long time
I will definitely try this method. When I have to detangle my hair, o my goodness 😫 Update: I detangle my hair while washing it Saturday night. O MY GOODNES. IT WAS A GAME CHANGER. I didn't know that was possible. My detangling process only took 5 minutes. I'm so happy I found your video. My washing process is shorter now, and detangling, shorter yet. Finger detangling is life. And my comb doesn't get stuck ANYMORE. Thank you so much @NappyFu. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes I have experienced more tangles following washing my hair. The frustration!!! I will definitely be trying this out next was day. Thanks for the tip!
It works! I’ve been doing it for 2 months now and I don’t struggle with tangles in the shower anymore. I was the person who used to loose hair during the washing process lol. Good luck.
I get really bad tangles at my roots and it only gets worse when I shampoo. I started washing my hair in the shower, separating my hair from root to ends and smoothing as I go. This has made detangling a breeze, especially if I detangle in the shower as well. Next time I wash, I will definitely consciously try this method and see of it reduces my tangles anymore.
You always bring me joy watching your videos. You are the reason I am still sticking with natural hair and not relaxing it. Thank you sis. Braiding my hair for the night while watching your updated vid. Mwah! 🥰🇯🇲
Definitely recommend this technique.. I just so happened to try this a few months ago and been doing it ever since. My wash/detangle time has drastically dropped and I've noticed way more hair retention
Good morning ladies, I too have been having a time detangling after a shampoo. It would take FOREVER to detangle after a shampoo n deep conditioning. I am soooooo happy I came across this topic because it definitely needed to be address. I will try this new shampoo method and hope my results are as awesome as yours. Thank you Nappyfu❤
I would love to see a video of you talking about/trying the 3-step method that a lot of stylists use. I’ve been seeing a lot of commentary but I trust your judgement the most 🥺

I washed my hair last night and tried it this way… IT WAS FANTASTIC! My hair just acted different in the best way! It wasn’t all tangled. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!
Thanks 🙏🏾 so much I have a lot of hair and this really works. I got up ⬆️ early this morning 600 am to try by 6:12 I had the deep conditioner in my hair. I washed my hair in no sections all forward in one swoop. Detailing forward in one direction as I washed I’m so happy 😀 I can wash my hair anytime I want now. All the shed hair falls all out as you are washing and lite detangling. The shed hair is always the problem for me so by me soaking that hair with water 🚿 and opening up that hair with my fingers let’s all the shed hair out. Thanks so much lady 👍🏾💕 have a blessed 😊 week.
Thank you! Been watching all your videos this evening on pre-pooing and washing and was excited to see a new video pop up tonight! Thanks for the knowledge and great laughs!!
I ran out of my clarifying shampoo during my last wash and continued with a moisturizing shampoo. I was like "wow" my hair does not feel like a straw. I had an arsenal of deep conditioner ready for the DC process and was ready for the shedded mess I usually experience whenever I clarify my hair and I had no major hair loss after wash. I was impressed and told myself I'm going to continue this for sure, then I stumbled on this video. It's perfect timing and def a confirmation that I am on the right track, and yes, we learn new things and better ways of getting things done. God bless u sis
NAPPY FUUUUUUU, GIRRRRL let me tell you when I say I do that!!!! I said to myself, I said self if you don't say something someone else is gonna. And girl yeeees the fingers racking in the downward motion is THE BOMB for not getting tangles while washing.
I still do in loose twist (just a few); undo the twist, which is easy to do when they are loose & soaking wet, wash, yes always in the way the hair grows with my fingers pulling the shampoo through the strands. Then let the water run down the now all open strands. The conditioning step is easier & the detangeing with the conditioner. Any knots are smoothed out with the water flowing down the deep conditioned hair.
I have been doing this method and well and let me tell you my hair has THRIVED. I know there are some people who are against clarifying but I say don't knock it till you try it. Seriously clarifying is 100% This tip is awesome thank you for mentioning this.
When you said "that shampooing in section does nothing" I felt that.... I'm definitely going to try this though 🙏🙏 and my hair HATES shampoo with the exception of the Camille ginger cleanse
It's been 2 years of me trying this. And I just had my break through. It helped but u was still having to use a tangle teezer. I realized my ends were spilt up half my hair and so I've been trimming an about inch every month for the past year. TODAYYYY!! 😁🙏 WAS MY BEST WASH DAY EVER! I only finger detangled for the full process and I had No tangles while blow drying! I was shook!
I will say... in my opinion and as a male who came to natural hair a decade after sisters paved the way but also wasn't paying attention when my sisters and cousins were learning... a reason professionals don't have to wash in twists... is because they have a better perspective of the entire head and have more facility to do what needs to be done... professionals have you sitting, leaning back into a sink, where gravity is aiding the water in stretching the coils as they scrub the scalp and continue detangling and such. That is what I've noticed, not to discredit what had been said, but my observations.
Yes! I used to section and twist my daughter's hair to wash it😫I didn't like her wash day...I started washing her hair like I do mine(my hair is shorter), as you explained in this video, and washing her hair has become a fabulous experience...yes, trial and error is the best teacher!!!
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for forever. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I just knew it was possible because I've always seen professionals do it. This is so detailed. I'm about to try it!
Gurrrrlllll this wash day was so satisfying to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed thissss 💕💕💕 I wash my hair sink-style and i typically use a clarifying shampoo and a cowash to get that moisture cleanse and condition all in one. Great video sis love the humor👍🏾💃🏽
I can't shampoo in sections as it would tangle more but I can condition in sections and rinse out in sections and that works for me. But will try the Rake method while shampooing as my detangling is a 2-3hr process not including the prepoo
Yes I usually have tangles but this past wash day I prepped with aloe Vera and deranged then washed my hair in six sections and put it back in a Bantu knot and then deep conditioned. Little to no tangles. I was only finger detangling but now I am going back to using a comb only on wash day to see if that helps with my tangles as well.
It is definitely the method most need to know! Raising the scalps ph, and cuticle layers are going to cause some friction. However bringing that ph down slowly with a moisturizing shampoo, will bring those cuticles down, and making your conditioner more efficient because it doesn’t have to do so much work.

I have 4c mid chest length hair)
I haven't washed Ms Thang open in about 2 years and now she's about 2 inches from waist length. It actually gives me a bit of anxiety to see others do it lol. But I love what you said about trial and error and finding out what works for you
“Did it get stuck like chuck?” Nope!
Well said "don't force what doesn't work for your hair. For a long time I forces using shea butter on my hair because the natural hair community said it's the best and my hair doesn't like shea butter. once in a while I can get away with using a little on my ends if its mixed with conditioner but rare. xoxo
I use to use this method when I first went natural over a decade ago. Later I started doing the twist method and that didn’t work. My hair would be a spider web. I went back to detangling with my fingers while shampooing and it’s so much better.
No lie I just discovered this too about my 4c hair and shampooing, & I’ve been natural for 5 years 😩. I would use the black soap shampoo from Shea moisture religiously each wash because I like that it really left my scalp and hair feeling clean but my hair would be tangled and stripped. I bought a moisturizing shampoo and my wash days have been less painstakingly long and easy to detangle. Now I only use the black soap shampoo when I need a good cleansing. Absolute game changer!
Hello. Which moisturizing shampoo do you use?
All the foam from the shampoo helps my hair separate. I think black people got this idea that we can take shampoo and just rub it in all over our head. But I find smoothing it and using it almost like a conditioner works better to avoid tangles. I also heard of the clarifying and then moisturizing shampoo trick and it works well as well. I also like to leave moisturizing shampoos on like a mask for maybe 3 minutes so they can really clean and moisturize.
Also shampoo really shows us our texture really well, your hair is DEFINED and so gorgeous.
Thank you Anthony!! Yes I’ve been doing that leaving the moisturizing one on a little longer!! I’m loving it so far.
"Don't force what doesn't work" I want to get that as a tattoo lol
Not you hyping me up for wash day, I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you. I just big chopped again and I’m so happy about the scripture
My pleasure!!
@@NappyFu youre saving lives sis!!!!
Thank goodness, thought I was the only 1 who doesn't do sections to wash, my hair detangles while rinsing. And yes I wash in one direction too, maybe that's why it's always worked for me. Glad you've shared for others ❤
Have a great week
Yes even using a 2 in 1 then detangling at that point helps a lot!
If you don’t DROP THAT KNOWLEDGE!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Love this video!
Thank you sis!!!
This is amazing!!! My hair has NEVERRRR! Lord this must be a sign that I can do this natural thing again. Did I say thaNk you?! THank you!
I used to wash my hair in twists. The tangles were ridiculous... I stopped about a year ago and started washing my hair like a normal person...
I was as shocked as u are how easy detangling was...
I tried recently washing first with a clarifying shampoo. Then the second wash with an actual cowash product. Loved the results. Much easier to detangle
Nice!!!
@@NappyFu been following u for years love your honest humorous reviews
Great to see you supporting Whitney. Not too many naturals are. Myself included because I use only my own diy products in my hair. xoxo
NappyFu, this is the method I use. I don't prepoo. I wet my hair and detangle under running water with a comb to remove shed hair then I shampoo in the same manner you demonstrated in the video in two large sections and deep condition. Shampoo to style and dry under a hooded dryer is 2 1/2 hours.
Same.
I really like drying my hair under the drier. It feels softer than air drying to me. Also doesn't shrink too much.
@@digitallocations1423 Agree.
My hair is funny to me because it looks like an Afro wig. My edges are really full and fluffy looking so ppl think it’s an unplucked wig😅 so doing a combo of both these methods works for me. I do this to each section and clip up each section after I rinse it. Then deep condition.It helps to already have my twist or braids in the day bay before usually from prepooing.
I stopped washing my hair in twists immediately after I tried it, that was 4 years ago. My hair just knotted up so much. It just didn't work. I thought it was cause my hair was short. Thank you. My hair feels seen🥰😂🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's seems so simple but I can't belive I haven't been doing this to this extent. Like I thought I was. But I think the emphasis on one direction is the key.
Nappy Fu always comes through!! I’ve had my natural hair in different braided protective styles for the last 4-6 months and you know how it is after not touching your hair for sooooo long. It can be intimidating to jump back into the swing of things! I miss my curls, but I’ve been dreading taking out my braids because of the shampoo process specifically. I’ve never found a method that’s worked for me, so I usually dread shampooing. This video came RIGHT on time, girl I could cryyyy.
Also, so glad you made it clear washing in sections doesn’t work for you! It doesn’t work for me either, but I felt like I was the only one so I assumed I was doing it incorrectly and kept trying. I can’t wait to try this method! Thanks sis!
oh no.... I don't envy you at all. Get you a mirror. Amazon prime Netflix, Disney Plus, Tivo whatever and a whole 24 hours to take down and detangle with oil and butter. Start with your fingers, a wide-tooth comb then go down to a medium tooth comb then a small tooth comb and then a tangle teezer or a tangle angel. Then add you a store-bought pre-poo. Then clarify that hair twice and then use a moisturising shampoo and moisturising deep conditioner. The next week add in some Olaplex and some protein shampoo and conditioner mixed together. Then go back to the moisture routine. When I could get braids ( no more due to scalp problems but I'm old) I only used to get them in for 12 weeks. Then wear my own hair for 2-4 weeks before putting them back in. If I was in your position that is how I would take them down and detangle my hair... your hair needs to be detangled before any shampoo or wet conditioner hits it...otherwise matting!!! Good luck.
@@marleyhill34 thanks for the tips! I finally washed last night, I started at 3pm and ended at 1am😅. Used water, my fingers, and a wide toothed comb to detangle. Then I shampooed my scalp on dry hair to break up some of the buildup. Then shampooed in the shower using the method in this video. I must admit, it was muchhhh easier and I was able to limit my tangles well. Then I deep conditioned and left it for about an hour, rinsed and gave myself a braid out. 2 whole Netflix series later 😂😂
I’m still searching for a clarify/moisturize shampoo combo (if you have some suggestions, feel free), but as of now I’m using the design essentials avocado/almond. It doesn’t cause as many tangles as other shampoos do.
I have a pretty strict regimen and keep my styles in for about a month and a half with several months in between and when it’s out I deep condition every 3 weeks and shampoo every 6. I’ve just been traveling a lot while the country opened up and natural hair on vacation is too much for me.
Super appreciate your tips!
@@tibrown1653 glad the process went well. Design essentials is a good brand... I'm certain they have a clarifying shampoo too because I have seen cosmetologists use both on their clients. My natural hair on vacation is the easiest because I go swimming every day so I never style it and just wear an afro puff or a faux hawk. Vacation time is super lazy hair for me. Lol!
@@marleyhill34 yes, that was my thinking. That’s mostly what I see stylists using. Hopefully it’s because it’s good and not because it’s in expensive in bulk 😅
@@tibrown1653 I don't bulk buy my shampoo. One 8 oz bottle lasts me a whole year with shampooing every week and lathering twice. Also, shampoo expires in 2-3 years. Now deep conditioner.... that's another matter I use a lot of that!
I was a shampoo assistant at my Moms salon, & yes this is how you wash hair at the salon.
Wow 😀 I think this method was what I was missing from my wash day all this time. Less tangles? Quicker wash day? I’m here for it. Thanks NappyFu 🔥😍
My pleasure sis.
Yes that was my experience too. Waaaaay more tangles in twists and braids when shampooing.
I have been washing my hair the same way but when I use a clarifying shampoo it’s VERY difficult to rack through my hair. So I mainly focus on my scalp with with that shampoo. Gently pull my hair apart (not to much). Then when I use the moisturizing shampoo I rake that through.
Nappyfu you are sooooooo right about the way you wish the hair does make a difference on how you wash it. The way you wash your hair that’s way, it’s the same way I wash my hair now but the first four years of my eight year being natural didn’t work but the last four years I’ve been doing it the same way you do, now the last four years I’ve been doing it like that where are you been doing it works so good for me.
I just used this method and my hair is so much more manageable! Thank you for sharing this and May God continue to bless you! ❤️
Amen! Thank you!!!
NappyFu, you done told me! I too use to wash my hair in twists and my hair would still be tangled afterwards. That's because I was massaging my scalp in all different directions. So I stopped and just wash it loose. But I was still getting tangles because I don't necessarily keep everything in one direction. Well, I will from now on. Thank you so much!
Being in Japan have perks. I'm first!!!
No, you're not.🤣😂🤭🤗
Nope
I'm in Japan too!!!! ☺
Please tell me what perks does being in Japan have?
@@Sunshine_Hime If I were stateside I would be sleep and miss the notification. 🤦🏾♀️🤣
This works! My stylist just did this method on me yesterday and it’s a game changer. 👏🏾
It's amazing how your hair journey can take so many twists and turns. I've been washing my hair in sections for years but recently due to not wanting to step out of the bathroom to get my clips..I ended up washing it without them and the earth didnt shatter! It didnt slow me down in any way and I saved my hair from the snagging of the clips. I still focus on one area at a time but now there's no margin also all my hair gets rinsed at the same time and it feels happy. I've even dared to let my hair air dry out of sections and shrink down. I was almost scared cause I usually never allow that and I was amazed by how easy it was for me to handle my hair. I've gained alot of experience over the years, been through many set backs and I can honestly say that I enjoy doing my hair now. I keep things simple and try to be consistent. I wash weekly, avoid intricate hairstyles and I always try to be gentle.
Latoya Ebony showed this method in her latest video. I plan to try this for my next wash day. TressesofAlexis and SheRea DelSol double cleanse as well but usually with different products (clay wash w/ cowash or clay wash with shampoo). So I have done clay wash and shampoo. But not the 2 types of shampoos. Thanks!
Yes Toya I love her!!! I plan to try this method with a clay wash so thanks for dropping the suggestions. I'll check them out.
I first noticed it with Black Girl Curls (SeeSomeCurls course). Pretty sure that’s where LaToya got it lol.
@@keisafruge361 yes. Her last few videos have been her experience with their 30 day detox.
Using a moisturizing shampoo after a all purpose or clarifying shampoo starts to lay the cuticles down so detangling and conditioning is easier. More cleansing shampoos blast the cuticles open so it's important to close them! Great video 😊
Probably a great method for high porosity
I already do this method because I don't like how my hair feels after using a good cleansing shampoo! I have to use a moisturizing one afterwards. I always finger detangle during shampooing as well, and my conditioning process takes at max five minutes when my hair is split in half. I love it! My hair has been thicker than ever.
I’ve been doing this for about 4 years now. I have to because I still use grease. It’s been working wonders for me and you can really tell a big difference between the two types of shampoo.
Wonderful!!! I do too and yea it makes a difference!
Nappyfu all upon my screen, let’s gooooo ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes lets gooooooo!!!!
One thing I don't miss about my loose hair, detangling on wash days 😩! Been washing wrong the entire time. Oh well I'm loc'd now 💁♂️.
girl I’ve missed you! I did something very similar to this today while I was shampooing my hair and it did wonders! I was very shocked lol, because I used to wash my hair in twists and I’d get more tangles after shampoo 😑so thanks for always teaching us something 💜
I wash my hair then put deep conditioner and I don't comb my hair until I'm rinsing out the condition under the water and when I tell you this method changed my life. I'm like I've been natural since 2016 and I have a lot of hair which tangles on itself; I probably have 10 hairs out of each root lol but my hair is tailbone length as well; but I have NEVER been able to comb my hair quickly. I use the denman paddle brush to comb and rinse my deep conditioner out under the running water and wha la, gurl, it's like magic.
I totally agree to do what works best for you!!! As much as we would like to believe that one thing works for all of our individual locs.... IT DOESN'T 🤣I hope the people hear you 👂 My hair thanked me🙌❤
i gave up on sections a long time mainly because it took too long to work it so i began shampooing the way you did in this video and i have been happy for a long time
I do that on my daughter, I don’t know why I have never done this on myself!
I will definitely try this method. When I have to detangle my hair, o my goodness 😫
Update: I detangle my hair while washing it Saturday night. O MY GOODNES. IT WAS A GAME CHANGER.
I didn't know that was possible. My detangling process only took 5 minutes. I'm so happy I found your video.
My washing process is shorter now, and detangling, shorter yet.
Finger detangling is life. And my comb doesn't get stuck ANYMORE.
Thank you so much @NappyFu. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes I have experienced more tangles following washing my hair. The frustration!!! I will definitely be trying this out next was day. Thanks for the tip!
It works! I’ve been doing it for 2 months now and I don’t struggle with tangles in the shower anymore. I was the person who used to loose hair during the washing process lol. Good luck.
I get really bad tangles at my roots and it only gets worse when I shampoo. I started washing my hair in the shower, separating my hair from root to ends and smoothing as I go. This has made detangling a breeze, especially if I detangle in the shower as well. Next time I wash, I will definitely consciously try this method and see of it reduces my tangles anymore.
I have experienced more tangles after shampooing. Amen I will be trying this method next wash day!!!
You always bring me joy watching your videos. You are the reason I am still sticking with natural hair and not relaxing it. Thank you sis. Braiding my hair for the night while watching your updated vid. Mwah! 🥰🇯🇲
Yes the detangling game is real I have gone to wide tooth detangling and looking into a tangle teeser
Excited to try this on my next wash day!!
Hope you like it!!
Not only are u giving me some great tips but I'm laughing too love it😊
Definitely recommend this technique.. I just so happened to try this a few months ago and been doing it ever since. My wash/detangle time has drastically dropped and I've noticed way more hair retention
I absolutely love this channel and your personality. It always uplifts my day. Beautiful woman of God ❤️🌻❤️
Thank you Joy!!!
Thanks for the tips . My wash day was EVERYTHING . I had less shedding . Wash day was a breeze . ❤❤❤
Miss Fu, I can see the improvement in your hair - it is longer and healthier. God bless . love you
Good morning ladies, I too have been having a time detangling after a shampoo. It would take FOREVER to detangle after a shampoo n deep conditioning. I am soooooo happy I came across this topic because it definitely needed to be address. I will try this new shampoo method and hope my results are as awesome as yours. Thank you Nappyfu❤
I would love to see a video of you talking about/trying the 3-step method that a lot of stylists use. I’ve been seeing a lot of commentary but I trust your judgement the most 🥺
Hmmmm what does the 3 step method consist of?
@@NappyFu 30 day detox. No raw oils or butters, and no products that have heavy ingredients in the first five ingredients (Shea butter, coconut oil, castor oil etc). 3 steps: shampoo, condition and style (with mouse or botanical gel).
@@NappyFu it's what Jenn J and LaToya Ebony are doing in their recent videos
@@xqueenyx13 yes. Their (Black Girl Curls) content has been a game changer for me. Some have an issue with personalities, but whatever. I’m here for the knowledge of how to best care for my hair - including not saturating my hair with oils and butters. Simplified hair care that works.
I washed my hair last night and tried it this way… IT WAS FANTASTIC! My hair just acted different in the best way! It wasn’t all tangled. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!
I’m definitely doing this when l shampoo my daughter 🤗She always has super knots even after detailing before shampooing
Hope it worked well.
Thanks 🙏🏾 so much I have a lot of hair and this really works. I got up ⬆️ early this morning 600 am to try by 6:12 I had the deep conditioner in my hair. I washed my hair in no sections all forward in one swoop. Detailing forward in one direction as I washed I’m so happy 😀 I can wash my hair anytime I want now. All the shed hair falls all out as you are washing and lite detangling. The shed hair is always the problem for me so by me soaking that hair with water 🚿 and opening up that hair with my fingers let’s all the shed hair out. Thanks so much lady 👍🏾💕 have a blessed 😊 week.
Thank you! Been watching all your videos this evening on pre-pooing and washing and was excited to see a new video pop up tonight! Thanks for the knowledge and great laughs!!
AWWW thank you for rocking with me!!!
Thanks for the tip! Definitely going to try it during my next wash👌🏾 Btw, the editing is so well-done and the Scripture was right on time🙌🏾
I ran out of my clarifying shampoo during my last wash and continued with a moisturizing shampoo. I was like "wow" my hair does not feel like a straw. I had an arsenal of deep conditioner ready for the DC process and was ready for the shedded mess I usually experience whenever I clarify my hair and I had no major hair loss after wash. I was impressed and told myself I'm going to continue this for sure, then I stumbled on this video. It's perfect timing and def a confirmation that I am on the right track, and yes, we learn new things and better ways of getting things done. God bless u sis
NAPPY FUUUUUUU, GIRRRRL let me tell you when I say I do that!!!! I said to myself, I said self if you don't say something someone else is gonna. And girl yeeees the fingers racking in the downward motion is THE BOMB for not getting tangles while washing.
I still do in loose twist (just a few); undo the twist, which is easy to do when they are loose & soaking wet, wash, yes always in the way the hair grows with my fingers pulling the shampoo through the strands. Then let the water run down the now all open strands. The conditioning step is easier & the detangeing with the conditioner. Any knots are smoothed out with the water flowing down the deep conditioned hair.
I have been doing this method and well and let me tell you my hair has THRIVED. I know there are some people who are against clarifying but I say don't knock it till you try it. Seriously clarifying is 100% This tip is awesome thank you for mentioning this.
Girlll… thanks for this video! I have 3 girls and trying to use sections to shampoo was creating DOUBLE shampoo duty! Whew this video was so good 😊
I was doing this but I thought let me try washing in twist for a while and I noticed my hair is more tangled so I will be going back to this way 😅
Great video. I appreciate the thorough explanation of shampooing and the necessary method.
Thank you Jeniece!!
I love the combination of the clarifying shampoo and a moisturizing shampoo. It works so good for my hair!!
Yes!!!!!
I Am Amazed! Your fingers went straight thru...& the comb, giiirrlll!!
When you said "that shampooing in section does nothing" I felt that.... I'm definitely going to try this though 🙏🙏 and my hair HATES shampoo with the exception of the Camille ginger cleanse
It's been 2 years of me trying this. And I just had my break through. It helped but u was still having to use a tangle teezer.
I realized my ends were spilt up half my hair and so I've been trimming an about inch every month for the past year.
TODAYYYY!! 😁🙏 WAS MY BEST WASH DAY EVER! I only finger detangled for the full process and I had No tangles while blow drying!
I was shook!
I will say... in my opinion and as a male who came to natural hair a decade after sisters paved the way but also wasn't paying attention when my sisters and cousins were learning... a reason professionals don't have to wash in twists... is because they have a better perspective of the entire head and have more facility to do what needs to be done... professionals have you sitting, leaning back into a sink, where gravity is aiding the water in stretching the coils as they scrub the scalp and continue detangling and such.
That is what I've noticed, not to discredit what had been said, but my observations.
Wow I am in shock, will definitely be trying this method since wash day is tomorrow. 😳
I wash you video a couple days ago and you method really works. Thanks sister .
Love you
My pleasure Linda!! 😍
Yes! I used to section and twist my daughter's hair to wash it😫I didn't like her wash day...I started washing her hair like I do mine(my hair is shorter), as you explained in this video, and washing her hair has become a fabulous experience...yes, trial and error is the best teacher!!!
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for forever. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I just knew it was possible because I've always seen professionals do it. This is so detailed. I'm about to try it!
Hope you liked it!
Yes! I always have tangles when I shampoo, no matter what I use. I'm going to try your method. Thanks for this video. God Bless you.
Gurrrrlllll this wash day was so satisfying to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed thissss 💕💕💕 I wash my hair sink-style and i typically use a clarifying shampoo and a cowash to get that moisture cleanse and condition all in one. Great video sis love the humor👍🏾💃🏽
This is THEE channel y'all, period. Glad I found your channel, black Nigerian male from the U.K here, hello 👋🏿💝
This might be a game changer. Thank you I will give this method a try.
i subscribed cause you're genuinely so fun and funny yet still teach us
Thank youuuuuu!!!
Omg! This is so simple 🤦🏾♀️ I just had that same experience with tangles and two different conditions to untangle. Sis…thank you for sharing ❤️
I love watching your videos even though i recently loc’d my hair
Thank you for your ongoing support! 😍
That verse at the beginning and I SMASHED that subscribe button!
I JUST cleansed my hair. But next time I’m going to try this method. This looks really amazing!
NappyFu 🙌🏾 coming back to comment cos I’ve used this method twice and it WORKS! 😁
Thank you so much for sharing sis 💕👍🏾
yay!!!!! So happy it works for you Debbie!
@@NappyFu Ps: till today, 2 years later, it still works!
We love you NappyFu 🙌🏾💕
I can't shampoo in sections as it would tangle more but I can condition in sections and rinse out in sections and that works for me. But will try the Rake method while shampooing as my detangling is a 2-3hr process not including the prepoo
Yes I usually have tangles but this past wash day I prepped with aloe Vera and deranged then washed my hair in six sections and put it back in a Bantu knot and then deep conditioned. Little to no tangles. I was only finger detangling but now I am going back to using a comb only on wash day to see if that helps with my tangles as well.
Prepping with Aloe Vera gel makes a huge different! 😍 I do that too whenever I can get a fresh leave.
