I had to leave an update on my last post 2 days ago. Y'all, using shea butter on my high porosity section WAS A GAME CHANGER. Plus, layering the moisture in the order Karen does left my hair feeling incredibly soft and supple--even while fully dry. My wash 'n go was absolutely beautiful and frizz-free! Day 2 hair also looks and feels just as good (this doesn't usually happen), and I can easily see my curls hanging in there for another day. I am happy with my hair again! THANK YOU!
I could cry - less than a minute in and you’ve already addressed something that I haven’t really been able to find elsewhere. I’ve been struggling with the different textures and curl patterns between my black hair and my gray hair for a while. I’m about 50/50 all over my head and the most frustrating thing has been not getting those grays to curl the way the rest of my hair does (especially in the front middle, exactly where the bulk of your grays are). Thank you so much for this! 🥹
Thank-You Karen so very much my hair is gray all over. I now know I have High Porosity Hair. It is excessively dry like the Mohabee Desert. Thank-You again you donot know how much you are helping me Gid Bless You always and Forevermore.❤❤❤LOVE Mrs. Sandra E. Pittman-Chicago, IL❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Ms. Sandra!!! I appreciate it and I'm so happy you are learning to rock your natural gray silverfox hair! Have you seen this video: ua-cam.com/video/VOVfhWQ6E8g/v-deo.htmlsi=iztMQi7AUjDyrbLg
I love ur videos! I have allowed my grey's to come in. No more dyes or relax hair. Ur right my grey's r coarse compared to other sections of my hair. This is exactly what I must do. I've been sealing my entire ends w castor oil. I cannot use that much all over just the top! My hair has been behaving. I love my hair and it's been since 2018 I have been natural and having some fun 🤗❤️👑!
Well I got another hair cut on Wednesday its gray and black and beautiful. Loving it. Danita and I had fun trying new styles. Thanks for sharing your videos with us
I just wanted to say thanks for all this great info! I have type 3 grey hair and tried this method (with some lighter products) and my hair felt so moisturized and defined!
Hello, love this video. My hair is 4b and 4c patterns. I have salt and pepper hair. I wear my hair in twists most of the time, but I also wear my hair in a puff. I have a lot of thinning in the top and crown areas. However, I shake hair fiber in those areas to hide the thinning. I have been trying to grow these areas back for about 4 years. I really like the way the wash and goes look on you.
@@1GoldenBreeze I did see a dermatologist. I was told I have Androgenetic Alopecia (female pattern baldness). I was also told I would not go bald like a man, but these areas would be thin and see through. I still do my best to take care of these areas by massaging with oils and teas rinses.
Hi Lois! Good thing you saw a dermatologist. The thinning pattern pattern for women is certainly different from me. In a few weeks, I will start a series of videos relevant to the types of hair loss -- like FP, and some solutions as well. I also encourage all my clients to make sure their lifestyle is conducive to optimal hair growth as well.
@@KarenofCurlHouse Hello Karen, thank you for replying back. I look forward to your videos on Female Pattern Baldness. I feel like I am fighting to keep my hair in these areas growing 😫.
Beautiful hair results! I did a wash and go on my gray hair yesterday (usually do twistouts) and did similar steps. Glad to see I am on the right path with my gray hair.I used Briogeo's Farewell Frizz rosehip, argan & coconut oil blend with nice results. Will have to pull out my UFD hair gel and try it on future WNGs. My hair is very thin in my crown so it's a bit of a challenge. Trying different ways to style my hair... it's a process! 😄
Thank you so very much for this video👏🏽🙌🏽! My gray natural hair is extremely dry so I’m looking forward to executing your techniques. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I appreciate your gift, thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for your video. I like both jojoba and shea butter. I haven't used them in a while. Since I have gone gray I am going to revisit shea butter to see how it works because my hair is more gray than combination.
My hair is on its way to full gray -- but I don't mind it taking its time to get there! LOL! Give it a try. Jojoba oil works on all of my hair, but that shea butter really locks in moisture on the grey!
I’m so grateful that your channel was suggested for me! I have a grey streak right in the front and it’s chronically dry😢 Your results are beautiful! I plan to give your tips a try! Thanks so much for sharing❤
Karen, I just watched your video on moisturizing my gray hair. I always wash my hair in the shower and then style n go. I need to purchase additional hair products. Again, thank you 😊.
I am so glad to find a video that addresses high/low porosity hair! Like you, my crown and the front section are a completely different texture and are often dry. It left me feeling so frustrated when the rest of my curls were poppin', and the front would look so frizzy! I will try your suggestions. Thank you for the helpful tips!
Hi Miss Karen. I really enjoy your hands on demonstration video presentations. I mainly wear a Wash n Go hairstyle in the summer. So the techniques you used were spot on for me. I noticed the shea butter you used was white and not the yellow type that I normally see. Where can I purchase the white shea butter to use? Thanks.
So glad I found you channel! I've been natural but when these grays came in, it was a whole other ballgame at that point! I've been struggling with curl definition on the gray sections. Going to try your tips!
You got this! Gray hair caught me by surprise too, but similar to the process of going natural and understanding how to care for our natural hair, now we have to do it over again for our natural 'gray' hair -- you will get there!
Thank you! This was extremely helpful! I have have the same graying in the front and it is unruly and wouldn’t grow…very likely it was breaking due to dryness. Great video!
Yep! Here's another video on that high porosity hair (gray) and some other gray hair tips if you have't seem them yet: ua-cam.com/video/VOVfhWQ6E8g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/sGfa2GOHJqc/v-deo.html
Karen I have tried wash and goes but I don’t like having to have my hair soaking wet and I tend not to use enough water. My hair doesn’t last as long as my twist outs which I prefer. Even keeping my ends cut I tend to get more SSK’s with W&G’s. The top of my head mostly grey hair is a challenge and I have to use much more product to tame that area.
I had to watch this twice, May watch it again. Needed to get the product sequence right. I took notes in my LGG notebook. I’m serious about this old gray hair!😊
Thanks for your very informative videos. I have been binge watching all night I have dry salt and pepper hair. I can’t seem to master WNG so I just 2 strands twist and wear a wig or do head wraps. You have gained a new subbie! Going to get some stain crunches
Yay! Fabulous! Welcome to the Curl House Community 💜 Now I will twist my hair and slap on a wig too but I can’t wear a twist out anymore - too frizzy now so the WNG is my BFF 🤗
Good question! In general, typical hair grease does not harm the hair. It is one of the BEST products to seal moisture. Petroleum is non-pore clogging as well. However, its just very thick and greasy, weighs my hair down and doesn't compliment my other styling products very well. LOL! But its safe to use! Some women love it! Some hate it! LOL! ! Already working on a video about hair grease as well, want to test some things out about hair grease -- so stay tuned!
Yes yes yes!! Absolutely! You are rehydrating your hair that way! Here's a video I did on frequency at which you can moisturize -- ua-cam.com/video/g8nAxafl11Q/v-deo.html
Hi JLJ! Castor oil is great for high porosity hair! Olive oil, mango butter, cocoa butter work as well! If you go back and look at the video I did on HIGH POROSITY hair, I list some more in that video.
Thank you so much for this video! It is truly informative. Was your hair able to last for a week with just the humectant gel? Have you ever tried an antihumidity gel on top for longevity?
Yes! That is about normal! Lol! My top and crown is the same! It used to be the crown only (before greying) now it shifted forward. When I first went natural I something was “wrong” with my hair in the crown because the texture was so dry and the curl was completely different. Do you have to do “more” to the crown to make it blend and to keep it hydrated?
Hey There! I’m here from L&F. I’ve been looking for people with coily hair like mine. I’m happy to be here. 🥰I hope to see you around. Blessings to you. ❤️🙏🏾
I'm so glad you popped up in my feed..great tips, definitely will try this method. My hair is salt and pepper gray all over and I couldn't understand the dryness. Subbed!
Now I am thoroughly confused. I recently went to a natural hair Solon and was told by the stylist that oil was preventing my curls from achieving the definition I was lookin for
Hey there! I know it can be super confusing.In general, curl definition is a technique that will help to enhance your existing curl pattern. Oils can weigh the hair down, and work against the curl enhancing product (making the hair softer for example - this could be what your stylist is suggesting). Some people use oils while others do not. Some people use heavier oils while other use lighter weight oils. Many times from my experience it the technique that affects the outcome. I recommend that you follow the instructions in the video, and take your stylist suggestion and don't apply any oils, and she what results you get. Remember, our hair textures are so unqiue so what works for one may not work another, but I recommend that you try it. You can do it! 💜
Love your hair it looks great But my hair is 4c and I have to twist my hair while its wet or I will have a complete afro without a curl Just tight kinky hair But I did learn something from your channel today I will use the bands to make my hair stretch thanks have a great day
Thank you so much! I totally understand! I recognize that curl definition is not a style for everyone, but what's awesome about natural hair! You can twist it, coil it, bantu knot -- its so many ways to achieve a curly look. So glad you picked up on the banding tip -- Stretch Your Curls!
Thanks Karen! I now realize the step I’ve been missing all these years…step 3 (moisturizer)! and I’ve been sealing with a butter AFTER the curl enhancer :(. Since I’m allergic to avocado do you have suggestions of other daily moisturizers that have low or no fragrance or mint smell ? Thx, Fonda
Hey Fonda! Now how did I allow you to sit in my chair all of those years and not teach you this! LOL! You should check out the product line called MELANIN. She has a great leave-in conditioner that's FRAGRANCE FREE!!! I believe most of her products are fragrance free actually.
Hey there! I used Uncle Funky's Daughter Curling Magic and Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Conditoner, and Curl House Hair Nourishing Leave In Spray
Hello great Video. What part of Va. are you located? I have grey in the front of my head as well. Never thought to use shea butter. What type of product did u use for moisture? I will try this method soon.
Nice video w/good detail. The top of my hair is just like yours - in terms of dryness and hard to define the curl pattern. I definitely have dual porosity hair. Question… following these steps, can I use hair milk to moisturize? What oil sheen did you spray in your hair? Thx.
Hi Denise! Absolutely! Hair 'milk' is just another type of moisturizer with it being high in water concentration so you can absolutely use hair milk. Also, I used the Jinsa Essentials Light Botanical oil (I love the scent royal gelly) but they have many different scents to choose from. Look them up!
Hey Ms. Ossie! I know this is LATE reply, but I am about to start working on a video that's all about the characteristics of porosity! Its coming soon!
Hello Ms Karen thank you once again for such a informative video that makes sense and has wonderful results!! Let me ask although I’m sure your spray leave in is top notch!(which I want to order) until then what spray leave ins are good that I can purchase in a store, Amazon etc. Also for low porosity hair what shampoo and deep conditioners are good? Thanks and Happy Holidays
Hi Monica! I can see you've already placed your order. 😀 Thank you! You can always layer my leave-in conditioner with a thicker creamier one if you'd like, such as the Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Lotion. Other awesome products are the shampoo/conditioner by Thank God I'm Natural, and Camille Rose. You should be able to pick these up from Target or Amazon. Also, I can tell you another trick -- if you have a rinse conditioner at home now, you can mix just alittle bit of conditioner with water, and there you go - you can spray it regularly. You are just diluting the concentration so it's not as heavy. Some some simple tips you can do around the house! Hope this helps!
@@KarenofCurlHouseHello Ms Karen !! Thank you for replying and the extra tips!!By the way I received my conditioner today and can’t wait to try it!! Have a wonderful day!!
Im sorry Kimberley! I thought I replied to this request. But for shampoo, Shea moisture has a pretty good shampoo for grey hair. It's the purple rich water collection. Here's a link amzn.to/3ziGBSz Also, if want to go old school Shimmering Lights shampoo still gets the job done actually, but followup with a moisturizing "non purple' shampoo. And a little goes a lonnnng way! In terms of conditioner, there are some purple conditioners as well, but I typically use my regular conditioner. Great conditioners include the Curl House Follicle Stimulating Conditioner, TGIN has a great triple moisture conditioner, and Moisture Max conditioner is pretty good as well.
@@KarenofCurlHouse Sorry for the late response. The way you u did your gray hair with the shea butter can I do that over my whole head mostly all my hair is low porosity except for 1 small side of hair.
@@maverickmayhem6409 Yes. That order is correct. I spray water, leave in, moisturizer, oil or butter to seal moisturizer, then the styling gel last. I typically apply styling products last . Do you apply using a different order?
@@maverickmayhem6409Ok I see. I did spray a little oil after my hair dried, but the order of the product application is contingent upon the water concentration in each product. The leave in and moisturizer have a very high concentration of water so I will seal with the oil, then apply the styler. If I had a thicker creamier styling product I would apply that last. Haven’t tried it your way - but hey - I’m all for learning and trying different ways too 🤗 Thanks for your feedback as well
Morning, look at the picture of my silver gray hair. Manly in the front. I do not care to much for the curl twist out, just plain natural look. And I'm very careful at what I use in my hair. I got the wrong Shaw butter, I gotten the yellow. And won't use it on my hair, ment to get the white bar. I also have the creamy moisturizer that makes my gray white a egg shell color. And I don't like how it feels on my hair. I'm so bless to have our fathers hair. The rest of my siblings have to play catch up. I'm seeking help for my hair. It's soft even the silver gray. And looking for a full face and hair make over👍. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
You are GORGEOUS! I LOVE YOUR HAIR! STUNNING!! Is your moisturizing white or off white? Yes. You certainly need white shea butter! I have a whole block of it at home! LOL! Where do you live? I may be able to make a referral?
Hi Doretha! Generally speaking it is more porous. It stops producing melanin and the sebaceous glands decreases it production of sebum so its courser, dryer, and more porous.
HI Lorraine! Was working on this video for you on a mannequin, but I think its best if I do it on my head. Just got a trim last month, so will need to wait about a month...but its coming! LOL!
Your hair looks amazing and so do you. Great video! Will have to try your suggestions/technique for a wash n go. Would love to see your technique for a twist out as well.
Awesome! I don't think i have a video on individual two strand twists --- Will add it to my list of videos to do soon, but i did do have a flat twist out video ua-cam.com/video/E8NBfLfVBR8/v-deo.html

Thanks Karen! I now realize the step I’ve been missing all these years…step 3 (moisturizer)! and I’ve been sealing with a butter AFTER the curl enhancer :(. Since I’m allergic to avocado do you have suggestions of other daily moisturizers that have low or no fragrance or mint smell ? Thx, Fonda
Hey Fonda! Now how did I allow you to sit in my chair all of those years and not teach you this! LOL! You should check out the product line called MELANIN. She has a great leave-in conditioner that's FRAGRANCE FREE!!! I believe most of her products are fragrance free actually.
I have gray hair and doing the Anthony Dickey method that I do a wash and go everyday using a conditioner and styler. Is wetting everyday ok.
Ty for this video❤. What brand/name products did you use?
Hey there! I used Uncle Funky's Daughter Curling Magic and Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Conditoner, and Curl House Hair Nourishing Leave In Spray
Thank you! I'm so glad I found you!🎉❤
Yay! Welcome!
@@KarenofCurlHouse how much for a consultation ?
Thank you for this…. I’m going to do this…
Yay! Have fun!!
Very helpful thx😊
Glad it helped
Your hair is phenomenal!!!! I am so excited to watch this video! New Subby!
Thanks for subbing! Yay! Enjoy!
This was awesome!!!! Much needed.
You are very welcome!!
I do use a leave in conditioner and jojoba oil
Great combination for moisture!
Wow! I need your skills for my hair! May I ask where I can find your shop? I'm praying that you're in or near my state of Ohio!
Hello there! Nope! I'm in VA! lol!! But I have some virtual classes coming soon -- so stay tuned!
Hello great Video. What part of Va. are you located? I have grey in the front of my head as well. Never thought to use shea butter. What type of product did u use for moisture? I will try this method soon.
Loving the results 😊
Thank you! 😊
@@KarenofCurlHouse
Have you used Mango butter?
This is an excellent video, Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Nice video w/good detail. The top of my hair is just like yours - in terms of dryness and hard to define the curl pattern. I definitely have dual porosity hair. Question… following these steps, can I use hair milk to moisturize? What oil sheen did you spray in your hair? Thx.
Hi Denise! Absolutely! Hair 'milk' is just another type of moisturizer with it being high in water concentration so you can absolutely use hair milk. Also, I used the Jinsa Essentials Light Botanical oil (I love the scent royal gelly) but they have many different scents to choose from. Look them up!
My hair is gray but it takes a long time to get soaking wet so I thought it was Le porosity.
Hey Ms. Ossie! I know this is LATE reply, but I am about to start working on a video that's all about the characteristics of porosity! Its coming soon!
Hello Ms Karen thank you once again for such a informative video that makes sense and has wonderful results!! Let me ask although I’m sure your spray leave in is top notch!(which I want to order) until then what spray leave ins are good that I can purchase in a store, Amazon etc. Also for low porosity hair what shampoo and deep conditioners are good? Thanks and Happy Holidays
Hi Monica! I can see you've already placed your order. 😀 Thank you! You can always layer my leave-in conditioner with a thicker creamier one if you'd like, such as the Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Lotion. Other awesome products are the shampoo/conditioner by Thank God I'm Natural, and Camille Rose. You should be able to pick these up from Target or Amazon. Also, I can tell you another trick -- if you have a rinse conditioner at home now, you can mix just alittle bit of conditioner with water, and there you go - you can spray it regularly. You are just diluting the concentration so it's not as heavy. Some some simple tips you can do around the house! Hope this helps!
@@KarenofCurlHouseHello Ms Karen !! Thank you for replying and the extra tips!!By the way I received my conditioner today and can’t wait to try it!! Have a wonderful day!!
Pretttyyyyy I shared video with my Mother
Yay! Spread the love!
Does the oil make your hair yellow?
Hello Queen
What is the best shampoo and conditioner for gray hair
Im sorry Kimberley! I thought I replied to this request. But for shampoo, Shea moisture has a pretty good shampoo for grey hair. It's the purple rich water collection. Here's a link amzn.to/3ziGBSz
Also, if want to go old school Shimmering Lights shampoo still gets the job done actually, but followup with a moisturizing "non purple' shampoo. And a little goes a lonnnng way!
In terms of conditioner, there are some purple conditioners as well, but I typically use my regular conditioner. Great conditioners include the Curl House Follicle Stimulating Conditioner, TGIN has a great triple moisture conditioner, and Moisture Max conditioner is pretty good as well.
You are the best! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome! Please let me know if there is anything you would like for me to discuss via video. I’m always looking for new ideas
@@KarenofCurlHouse I sure will. Looking forward to using your recommended products and learning more! ❤🥰
Hi Karen . I have short gray hair which is low all over but 1 side can I still use this video . Thank you
Hi Yolanda! Thank you for your response but I don't think I understand your question. Please clarify
@@KarenofCurlHouse Sorry for the late response. The way you u did your gray hair with the shea butter can I do that over my whole head mostly all my hair is low porosity except for 1 small side of hair.
I love this!!!
Thanks a bunch!!

Oil b4 cream? How will the gel get past the oil layer?
Hello there - unless I had a verbal slip up in the video - the oil is applied after the moisturizer. 🤗 This is how it is demonstrated in the video
@@KarenofCurlHouse Water. Leave-in, oil then gel..hmm
@@maverickmayhem6409 Yes. That order is correct. I spray water, leave in, moisturizer, oil or butter to seal moisturizer, then the styling gel last. I typically apply styling products last . Do you apply using a different order?
@@KarenofCurlHouse Yes I apply the oil after the gel
@@maverickmayhem6409Ok I see. I did spray a little oil after my hair dried, but the order of the product application is contingent upon the water concentration in each product. The leave in and moisturizer have a very high concentration of water so I will seal with the oil, then apply the styler. If I had a thicker creamier styling product I would apply that last. Haven’t tried it your way - but hey - I’m all for learning and trying different ways too 🤗 Thanks for your feedback as well
Morning, look at the picture of my silver gray hair. Manly in the front. I do not care to much for the curl twist out, just plain natural look. And I'm very careful at what I use in my hair. I got the wrong Shaw butter, I gotten the yellow. And won't use it on my hair, ment to get the white bar. I also have the creamy moisturizer that makes my gray white a egg shell color. And I don't like how it feels on my hair. I'm so bless to have our fathers hair. The rest of my siblings have to play catch up. I'm seeking help for my hair. It's soft even the silver gray. And looking for a full face and hair make over👍. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
You are GORGEOUS! I LOVE YOUR HAIR! STUNNING!! Is your moisturizing white or off white? Yes. You certainly need white shea butter! I have a whole block of it at home! LOL! Where do you live? I may be able to make a referral?
What’s the name of the oil you sprayed in your hair?
It’s by Jinsa Essentials light botanical oil. My favorite scent is Royal jelly (smells kinda sweet) but there are several scents
Hello where do I find Shea Butter block?
Online at brambleberry.com Excellent products!
🎉Beautiful.❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful!🌷
Thank you so much!!
My daughter sent me this channel thx daughter 🎉😊
Welcome!! Welcome to the Curl House Community 💜
Yes this gray hair is no joke
Aint...that...the..truth! 😂
Yasssssssss Hunty❤️❤️❤️❤️
lol 😝 Thank you!
Now make sure you give me an update of your wash n go! You better rock it!
@@KarenofCurlHouse yes ma’am I will, I’m gonna take my braids out in a couple of weeks.
Love it
What’s the moisturizer?
I used the Curl House Hair Nourishing Leave In Conditioner and the Daily Moisturizing Lotion
So is all gray hair high porosity?
Hi Doretha! Generally speaking it is more porous. It stops producing melanin and the sebaceous glands decreases it production of sebum so its courser, dryer, and more porous.
New subscriber great video!!!
Thank you so much!!
Hello Mrs. Karen how can a woman of color trim her own hair?
HI Lorraine! Was working on this video for you on a mannequin, but I think its best if I do it on my head. Just got a trim last month, so will need to wait about a month...but its coming! LOL!
@@KarenofCurlHouse thank you Mrs. Karen I appreciate you.
Your hair looks amazing and so do you. Great video! Will have to try your suggestions/technique for a wash n go. Would love to see your technique for a twist out as well.
Awesome! I don't think i have a video on individual two strand twists --- Will add it to my list of videos to do soon, but i did do have a flat twist out video ua-cam.com/video/E8NBfLfVBR8/v-deo.html
