Naturally High are their anyways to get rid of 4C hair permanently that do not require constant upkeep and maintenance. side not I do not like any black or ethnic hairstyles.
MumNatural You'd also have to take into account that she was doing finger detangling and moisturizing each small section. If you're doing that at once, it will take a lot more time than just doing the style if you have a lot of hair.
This ^ plus I had shampooed my hair! Usually I cleanse with clay so my pre-poo'd detangling handiwork isn't all undone after cleansing. I know now not to run out of clay!
I redo my twists every week. I have to wash my hair every week. Can't deal with fuzz , my hair locs after a week and active life style and work environment also weigh in the balance.
I noticed you braid the start of your twists in another video too and my sister does that as well with my niece's hair, so I have to try this, it may keep me from re-twisting as often as I do. The reason I think I've never tried braiding first is because I like the volume twists give in my roots, but I'm 5 years into my journey now so I'll start trying some new things. Thanks for sharing : )
my hair is still shorter and it tangles a lot when its dry. I find that washing in twists helps for me to not get tangles. I cant wait for it to be longer and beautiful like yours so I can those twists.
hi...love ur channel,it was recommended on a blog Nd i absolutely love it...i recently big chopped Nd i guess i have 4c hair too,so ur hair gives me hope
You are soooooo PRETTY and I LOVE your hair😍😍❤ I love twist, but my hair texture is a mess, it's a mix of a few diff ones, I guess it's like 3b,3c,and4a and or maybe 4b I'm not sure ???? But all I know is twist NEVER LAST in my hair, even when I do mini twist, I still end up having 2 to retwist cuz they come loose and damn if I wash them...they come loose at the root and it ends up being a tangled mess😫😫😖 I wish I could do them like yours it would make my life so MUCH easier and also b cute❤
I am planning to do this too, I already do it but i normally do 10 twists and my hair has grown out a lot but I think i wanna do them smaller i just live in these twist for the rest of the year.
sassenav12 living in twists makes 4c hair care much simpler! I'm a bit naughty in that I wear the twists out most of the time. But a soon as I start my next internship it'll be buns everyday! I had to chop off a lot of my ends last month after a wash n go fail so it's time to retain some length. X
Lawd! Can I just put my face on your head and just contemplate how I'd look with long natural hair?!😍😍😍 have u ever colored ur hair jet black, I do it once or twice a year, I wonder if it slows the health and growth of my hair
You poor thing! I know the struggle! That's why I wanted to show you all that I suffer too... It's not usually this bad though as I tend to use clay. Unfortunately I had run out and needed a cleanse so I opted for a regular sulphate-containing shampoo - knots galore!
Naturally High Thanks to you I now us clay on my 4c hair and I no longer get single strands knots. My hair Hardly tangles!❤ I hope to find a conditioner and leave in that softens my hair. it always seems dry.
yup, my hair locs very quickly. I know I can only wear an out style for three days max before I have to detangle and moisturize. I ALWAYS keep my hair stretched. and I can easily spend 4 hours twisting, and my hair isn't even as long as yours. I always wash one day and style a day or two later.
I been natural, but use get my hair straighting every three weeks, I have shoulder length hair , it seem since I haven't been using heat of any kind for a year , I see small pieces hair in front, looks like breakage, but am sure straight hair stay moisturize longer, so maybe am not get proper moisture, but I heard if you were straighting your hair regularly and stop, it can cause breakage
please try putting conditioner on your hair literally before you wash out the shampoo and even let it sit for a while...i do this and it works for me ...it makes a difference to tangles ...seems crazy but napturally85 does this also. people usually wash out their shampoo first then put in the conditioner but try not washing out the shampoo before putting conditioner and see it helps with slip.
My daughter has super dense 4c hair... but only in the back 3rd of her hair. It tangkes no matter what I do to. Left us know if you figure out a nifty trick to manage it.
Vegan Mommy Madness sounds like my hair all over!! Washing my hair in clay has definitely reduced my knots. So has keeping it stretched and moisturising only at night before stretching. Having parted hair helps too. No need to re-part every time. You can reuse the old partings. X
I usually do two strand twists and when I take them out, I feel for the strands at the root and untwist them down. When I plaited it at the root like you did and then turn into two strand down the shaft, I am struggling with the untwisting when I take the twists out. The two stranded shaft releases easy but then when I get to the roots, I have a difficult time getting the plaits out. My hair is still short, so I do alot of mini twists to make my twists look fuller. Is it possible to twist them too small? Or am I doing something else wrong when untwisting?
Yes, it absolutely does. Check my Instagram instagram.com/naturally_high_hair/ - a few weeks ago I tried a wash n go. I don't usually let my hair shrink so much.
How do you deal with your ends? I do twists and braids a lot of the time, but I feel like my ends tend to get dry and tangled because they're not covered.
It's great that you've asked this. I plan on moisturising the twists thusly: ua-cam.com/video/JCvaV1roAFA/v-deo.html and washing thusly: ua-cam.com/video/bL8C9YfO_YM/v-deo.html. They should last infinitely.
Naturally High interesting. My hair is only just shoulder length in twists but I find they shrink up a little each day so it can't be retained in definitely. Doesn't your twists shrink too?
I agree! Far too long! It's because I shampoo'd my hair. I usually use clay, which doesn't tend to undo all the detangling I've done during my pre-poo. ua-cam.com/video/fxX8HBMD1oQ/v-deo.html
when i shampoo in twists and don't retwist after the washing process, that's when I have problems. Otherwise, washing in twists works well for me. i tried washing my hair loose once. Never again! ;) I love how we can all have chemical free hair and our hair is all so very different. I once read someone refer to natural hair as a finger print, which I feel is a really accurate description :)
Hey! How do you wash your hair then? Trust me, washing my hair loose always leads to utter chaos. The reason my hair was so matted here is that I'd washed my hair with a regular shampoo (twice) the day before. I usually use clay which doesn't tend to undo all of my detangling handiwork.
I washed my hair loose all the time when I was younger... Huge chunks of it came out in the shower and in the blow dryer afterwards. Yeah, it didn't grow very far lmao I'd agree with the above comment as well, you have to retwist after washing (or at least after shampooing)
+Naturally High I shampoo my hair loose then I add conditioner in 6 - 8 sections before making those sections into big twists. I then rince out the conditioner and get out of the shower with 6 - 8 big twists. Most of the time, I let the twists dry before I can style my hair. I can't shampoo in small/medium twists cause I get many tangles which make it hard for me to refresh my twists (I have to detangle all over AGAIN). That's why I said that washing my hair in twists does not work for me.
I was waiting for this 😍😍😍 my hair crush for days 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Aw thank you Love!
Naturally High thank you eeek!! 💕
Naturally High are their anyways to get rid of 4C hair permanently that do not require constant upkeep and maintenance. side not I do not like any black or ethnic hairstyles.
Sincere Hoodlum what do you mean by this??
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!😍. I have 4C hair and have been natural for a year and 3 months. This is my hair goal. 😍😍
Four hours? ? and those twists are not even that small. . wow.. but your hair is gorgeous
MumNatural You'd also have to take into account that she was doing finger detangling and moisturizing each small section. If you're doing that at once, it will take a lot more time than just doing the style if you have a lot of hair.
gensai93 true
This ^ plus I had shampooed my hair! Usually I cleanse with clay so my pre-poo'd detangling handiwork isn't all undone after cleansing. I know now not to run out of clay!
MumNatural and thank you!
Naturally High ahhhhh ok
I think I will try this, I think parting my hair will save me a lot of time actually. Love how realistic you are.
Thank you!!! Good luck! I think it's worth it - I'm so proud of my partings! X
Wow I just do not have that kind of patience. It would be 8 large plaits for me.
I don't normally either - wanted to try twists again! It's been too long! It's wonderful not having to re-stretch my hair at night as with braid outs.
I redo my twists every week. I have to wash my hair every week. Can't deal with fuzz , my hair locs after a week and active life style and work environment also weigh in the balance.

I looooooove your twists! I'm going to try wearable twists next week!
Aw thank you! Share your pics with me on Instagram (Naturally_High_Hair)
Naturally High I'll try to remember!

Hiya! Haha! Thank you. Nope, the current hair on my head has never been permanently dyed. Dyes can damage the hair so be cautious!
Yes my hair locks like crazy 😝 two days tops and I’m struggling 😂😭
Girl I have to go through this every time I wash my hair it's a 2 day process
You poor thing! I know the struggle! That's why I wanted to show you all that I suffer too... It's not usually this bad though as I tend to use clay. Unfortunately I had run out and needed a cleanse so I opted for a regular sulphate-containing shampoo - knots galore!

Have you tried giovanni leave in. It's awesome. Good luck on your journey 😀
Lisa Green hiya thanks for the suggestion i will look into this one. 😊

that is my jam!! 🎶
curlykiki funny you should say that. It's mine too but finding a remix/cover I could use without breaching copyright laws was a real feat!
I agree that's It's so much easier to wash in twists. thanks:)
girl you haven't posted in 2 weeks 😕😕. I miss you
I been natural, but use get my hair straighting every three weeks, I have shoulder length hair , it seem since I haven't been using heat of any kind for a year , I see small pieces hair in front, looks like breakage, but am sure straight hair stay moisturize longer, so maybe am not get proper moisture, but I heard if you were straighting your hair regularly and stop, it can cause breakage
Gorgeous! Why not braid your twists when you wash them? They should be more secure and possibly reduce the locking since they won't unravel as easily.
J Q hey! I do this! Switching to a milder shampoo has prevented this knotting I used to deal with on wash day.
My hair locs so easy
Loved it. Good job, great looking hair and length. Do you live in the UK too?
Eruvwu Obuaya i think she lives in the Netherlands
New subbie here! You're gorgeous also.
Welcome! Aw, thank you!
Are you still living in the Netherlands and do you speak dutch? Great video!
I do live in the Netherlands but I don't speak Dutch. Thanks!
Naturally High oh really? I also live in the Netherlands! do you live in a big city?

Hair GOALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw thanks! I'm flattered!
U looked gorgeous 😍 love that skirt and hair
stumbled across this while twisting my hair haha
Nice song👍👍👍
I can wear a 3 or 4 day twists and everyone thinks I am growing locks.
Does your hair not shrink? I would love to have this type stretch and hang time, but my hair is always so shy...I have to force it out to play!☺️
Yes, it absolutely does. Check my Instagram instagram.com/naturally_high_hair/ - a few weeks ago I tried a wash n go. I don't usually let my hair shrink so much.
You have a gorgeous hair 😍😍
Thank you love!
How do you deal with your ends? I do twists and braids a lot of the time, but I feel like my ends tend to get dry and tangled because they're not covered.
Good question. Thusly: ua-cam.com/video/JCvaV1roAFA/v-deo.html
Yes my hair locs sooooo fast, starts after 2 day or so.
How many twists should you have on your head? Usually I do about 18. You look as if there are more than 18.
I've heard this actually can thicken your hair or is that myth? Is ur thickness mainly genetic ?
Gorgeous show us the styles you wear
Will do!
how often do you get your ends trimmed.
also check out westafricanbaby She has crazy 4C hair and super creative
How long would your hair last in that style with gym and day to day life?
It's great that you've asked this. I plan on moisturising the twists thusly: ua-cam.com/video/JCvaV1roAFA/v-deo.html and washing thusly: ua-cam.com/video/bL8C9YfO_YM/v-deo.html. They should last infinitely.
Naturally High interesting. My hair is only just shoulder length in twists but I find they shrink up a little each day so it can't be retained in definitely. Doesn't your twists shrink too?
My hair will tangle at the drop of a hat, I detangle and a few hours later, its already meshing, such is the nature of out type of hair.
You're beautiful. I thought you were wearing makeup. You don't even need it. You're beautiful
So you twist your hair with no product in it???
how long do u leave it
lindo cabello y tu
Four hours?? That's a lot of time.
I agree! Far too long! It's because I shampoo'd my hair. I usually use clay, which doesn't tend to undo all the detangling I've done during my pre-poo. ua-cam.com/video/fxX8HBMD1oQ/v-deo.html
Emprezz Abena I assumed it would take 8 hours...
I could see that happening in an extreme scenario. Dense 4C hair can get really matted :/
Naturally High yep. :) This turned out beautifully.
Thank you
Whats your ig?
@naturally_high_hair
I would have to grab a chair!!
Why not loc your hair?
CDeniseG because she prefers it lose...
Britnatural lol
Hey! I love locks but would miss my loose hair!
The tangles might be from washing your hair in twists.
I've tried it. Never again! It didn't work for me.
