The only people I see doing this method are people who already had long hair. I haven't seen anyone with a TWA or shorter hair doing it, and showing how much "growth" they got
Why are people making having natural hair so stressful? Since i found out what works for me, i do it and keep it simple, i stay with 2 to 3 products and i shampoo my hair every week, deep condition a few times a month and that's it, now my hair is healthy and longer.
+lovelylady2910 your username is deceiving because you are not lovely at all, this is just a typical response from someone who is bother by people talking about their experiences or giving their opinion, this video is about his thoughts as the hair professional that he is, if you don't like it maybe you should be the one to shut the fuck up.
Lol sometimes the natural hair community makes me sick. Chile I do what works for my hair and guess what I still use grease and water and times. U talkin bout soft and moisturize. My cousin told me bout the water only method shit I was like Im not doin that
Shalana Smith Girl they make you sick sometimes? I can't stand them at all! Always deciding what's good or bad, and bullying people who don't want to follow their nonsense!. Girl imma keep using my sulfates and grease and all the things that worked back in the days!
Shalana Smith I agree. I have seen a lot of relaxer shaming. I used to do relaxers but they just weren't for me. I do not call anyone out for relaxing though. I'm worried about myself, not them. That's how it should be.
Water only wash may be acceptable for people who have thin or fewer strands of hair. I have thick, heavy hair, which easily absorbs odors from the environment. Water alone would not properly clean or refresh my hair. Without a moisturizing shampoo, and deep conditioner, I wouldn't even be able to comb through my hair and it would still smell.
Actually you're not meant to use any soaps on your vagina as they ruin your natural pH balance and your vagina cleans itself all on its own I water is just fine
+Yellow and for your rudeness I will not be responding to your actual comment, because CLEARLY you are incapable of having a discussing like an adult. Would you speak like that outside of UA-cam. The worlds become a sad place. And no it's not because you made a point, I still don't clean my labia with soap, because in MY experience it's caused a reaction and yes it looks and smells just okay. Now good day, child.
+Yellow yeah you're so right . Your labia and around your genitals needs to be washed with soap. And your ass?! Yeah that's the body part that needs to be washed the most .. Especially after going to the Bathroom. Sorry people toilet paper is not enough 🙄. It's incredible to see how many people don't practice proper hygiene practices . Especially in the United States where a bar of soap doesn't cost anything . By the way the best soaps for down there are natural ones with no fragrances . African black soap is a good one .
Melissa Lara Thank you. And it is really gross to suggest otherwise. I also use African black soap. Unnatural soaps do cause problems on sensitive skin areas, and in fact, they should not be used at all. Natural soaps should be used to clean the labia area.
I have sebborhic dermatitis I wouldn't even dare just to use water only to wash. I wouldn't use water only to wash these armpits in this 90° ny weather either👀
+shayna gonzalez forreal I have psoriasis in my scalp and around my face. I can't even a week without shampooing my hair because of the flakes and itchiness.
Even the UA-camrs who've tried it for a YEAR, aren't excited about talking about it. One girl looked straight DEPRESSED, and said she ain't notice no fast growth, or nothing spectacular. They selling dreams out here. You can't spend NO money, and expect to look like a black Rapunzel.
***** Do you get that Suave, Tresemme, and coconut oil for free?... Then I don't know why you're talking about some "The hell you can't". I never said you had to buy EXPENSIVE shit. I said that you can't spend NO money, and expect to look like you're flourishing. Unless you're a farmer, or do "favors" for one, it's just about impossible.
Taylor Haylor I don't know why you people are acting like I said you had to buy expensive shit. I said you can't expect long hair to come FREE. Cheap, or expensive, you bought SOMETHING along the way, and will have to buy more of it, the longer it gets. That's just common sense. If simply pouring water over your head made it flourish, it would be a hell of a lot more popular.
I agree with you 100% AHG!! What gets me is that none of the women I've seen doing this method exclusively use water & sebum. They do avc treatments, clay masks, okra masks, etc. They're still using items that can lift light dirt & buildup off the hair. Basically these women enjoy wetting their hair daily, doing scalp massages, and using minimal products. when I come across someone who exclusively uses water & sebum and has healthy hair, I may take the method a little more seriously.
+Michie K Actually, like most people agree, you can adapt the method. The water only washing is just the washing part. Not the before or after. I only use water and my homemade shea butter cream to seal in the moisture. I also use flax seed gel to style sometimes. Other than that, nothing else goes in my hair. I use flexi rods to set my hair often. I have 4a/b hair. Lots of pictures on my instagram and even made a youtube video. Seems crazy, but my hair has never been better. I think this is only a method for people who do not mind playing in their hair every other day! lol
Don't put so much value into the name of the regimen. I've been natural for 2 years and this is the first time I really FEEL natural. It's freeing, it feels amazing to wet your hair while your in the shower just like everyone else. My hair is moisturized 100% of the time, and when it feels like it's getting dry, just hop in the shower and let the water and sebum work its magic. If you successfully don't strip your sebum it acts as conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, and sealant. The trick is cleansing the hair without stripping the sebum, because if you do you'll have to wait 3 or more days to get full coverage again. I'm here to say your pores will get clogged, so you have to scritch, massage, or use some natural cleanser. Many ppl still use shampoos and such, but they understand they will strip their sebum. They're okay with that and have devised a regimen where they treat their hair with oils while the sebum is coming back in. It's customizable.
Lmfao. U got me DYIN'!!!!! Ur sarcasm is so ON POINT! But my thing is, what did people wash their hair with in Ancient civilizations. Especially the peasants/poor people.
soap was discovered...and fine tuned in the bible. in Babylon and in Egypt there are records of soap. in Job. in a lot of places....predating shampoo ...was a cleaning method to cleaning hair and skin. so Ya...that's what folks used "WAAAYYYY back in the dayl
Here's an object lesson....its late, time to wash your face after a long day at work...gonna use plain water to wash off the blush, mascara, foundation and such....or you gonna use something that will actually clean it? Now...transfer the analogy to your hair....what's the plan now ?
Lawd I subscribed at 1:30 min in! LOL Video ain't even start yet. I love your disposition. And no, I would never do the water only wash method. I refuse to even click on those videos. I can't jump on every trend. I love your "logic".
These trends be killing me. I depend on deep conditioning for my moisture, alternating sulfate free with sulfates, and I might add a little extra moisture during the week to avoid breakage. Water for washing is ridiculous.
tj Tanner Me too. I do not use the harsh sulfates to wash my hair when necessary. A good weekly deep condition should keep your hair properly moisturized. Using coconut oil throughout the week helps prevent friction for me and avoids breakage.
MsMelDC I workout so I sweat a lot also with product buildup so I feel the need have to shampoo weekly. Never tried coconut oil, always have my trusty Olive oil on deck.
OMG ABOUT DAMN TIME SOMEONE SAID IT!! I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! Like this method to me is just nasty! It's gross how people don't want use some form of cleansing product to wash their hair. Like what about the dust and pollution and all the other nasty shit flowing around in the air? Just water is not going to get rid of the build up on the hair and scalp! But that's just my opinion. Do what ya want to do with YA hair but as for me am going to stick to what WORKS for me and mine!
I've been reading & watching vids on the subject & apparently when your hair gets too much build up you are supposed to wash with clays &/or apple cider vinegar washes whether it be bi weekly or monthly. So really, it's not even water only. You just don't strip your hair as much is what I'm understanding.
You got me SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!! To each is own I guess, but I so agree with you regarding people comparing their hair to others. We've got to stop doing that. I am convinced that no two heads of hair are alike because there are things like genetics that do take part in the make-up of our hair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I've shampoo and condition once a week. I can't see doing anything else. Maybe in the middle of the week, I'll get my hair wet in the shower but that's it. I don't understand co washing or water only washing..
kelli johnson Same here. I tried only co-washing once -for about a month- and I noticed that my hair started breaking off. I doubt I'll be trying it again anytime soon.
Lexi Roark No. When you're black, washing your hair everyday will cause it to get dry and fall out. And it'll take too long. Any hairstyle I do after I wash it has to set.
Ive tried co washing for about 6 weeks and it made my hair feel lifeless and it started breaking off even though it appeared moisturized. So no, i will never cowash again and i will not be trying this water only method
lmfooooo "why am i so angry its only water " not the only thing u said but u have me rolling ..i was just considering trying the rice wate rinsing only but....
I gotta agree with you. You make so much sense. These people asks for a chrochet video. You give them one. And then they give you the stupidest comments. Don't let them get you. I know you're great at what you do, because you produce beautiful results. Continue making awesome videos. I freaking love them!!!! You make complete sense.
I know a lady that does this, and her hair is breaking off like crazy. She always wears a wash n go style, so maybe that's why...but the dullness, and the frizz would get on my nerves.
***** not really, the latest video i saw which was a recent wash and go on her channel she used probably ten different products and washed most of the crap down the drain... She constantly promotes products.. Paid reviews...
+Akeya Johnson I recently saw a video where she used so many products and had so many steps I got mad and turned it off. It made no sense to send all that product down the drain!
+Brittney R. which is why I stated I stopped watching the video. It wasn't about putting anyone down. I just didn't see the rationale behind using so many products. Then to top it off it was way too many steps. Some people are starting to do the most with these natural hair videos! But that's just my opinion not trying to offend anyone.
I don't understand the water washing only method. You're rinsing the dirt, but its still there. There are no surfactants to attract the dirt, for the water to rinse out. Scientifically, it doesn't make sense. If you wouldn't wash your body without some form of cleanser, don't do it to your hair and scalp. I'm all for natural products, but just using sebum and water only isn't doing an effective job CLEANSING. Water is doing nothing for the bad bacteria that builds up on your scalp, let alone other environmental dirt that your hair encounters on a daily basis.
I totally agree with @soulrunner. The WATER ONLY RINSE METHOD works when your 1. condis with coconut oil for 30 mins 2. massage your scalp 3. rinse with warm water. 4. then you can add more coconut oil as a leave in condis and then add what you like. 5. repeat every 3 days. Why must everyone do one thing? Everyone is different and to each is own. I have been doing for a few weeks and I NO LONGER HAVE SINGLE STRAND KNOTS, FAIRY KNOTS, I HAVE MOVEMENT WITH MY 4C 7 INCHES HAIR. Like plz people, stop thinking in a dam BOX or hating on what the next person wants to do. fuck I can do what the hell I like to my head,,,,, what about you?.
I will say I've DOING the water only wash method and I LOVE it!!! no its not for everyone but you also have to understand the process. I actually found out about by accident. I had mini braids and was watching videos on how people wash their hair. In between that I was rinsing my hair anyways because I like the feel of water on my scalp. when I took my braids down my hair was dry at the ends from where I had been mouisturing and sealing and soft and oily near my roots (but I didn't put anything on my roots as I didn't want my scalp to itch and have to wash my hair more. which yal know causes frizziness). I realize that was my sebum which no lie felt like silk when wet. so I clarified and started the process over. wearing my hair in twist and rinsing daily until I got full coverage. The WHOLE purpose of water rinsing daily is to get FULL COVERAGE which can take anywhere from 2 weeks to two months. Once you reach it that is when you add your natural cleansers (rhassoul clay, bentonite clay, acv, henna) and things that won't totally strip your hair. and there has been a study done with how the above items cleanse your hair. I can tell you I don't have single strand knots anymore and my wash day is a breeze. the sebum is similar to a pre poo. Some of yal reading this comments probably pre poo and add oils when your done. so what is the difference of using your own versus something else. If you have scalp irritation or dandruff you really should give it go and stop putting stuff on your hair when you don't understand the ingredients
I'm a soap maker. soap promotes good health..... even if you don't use shampoo...you gotta take care of hair....and SCALP health. that requires more than water.
FINALLY! Someone is saying it! I feel like the natural hair community is bored. they out here doing the most. When I heard about this I was silently shaking my head. I did extensive research on it but when it came down to it I couldn't do it. It just sounds dirty! I get the sebum thing but why do you also have to have dirty hair. Why not wash your hair AND put oils on your hair. I can't even get into cowashing either. I did do it when I was relaxed and my hair was super moisturized but my scalped itchy like noting else. To me its not worth it. Would you wash your body with only water? Would you wash your body with lotion? SMDH I can't with these people. Also you probably heard about the inversion method also. Who has the time for that bullshit... maybe it works maybe it doesn't. What people need to understand is that your hair grows NO MATTER WHAT. YOU want long hair protect your ends.
Each to their own. My health dictates that I do the water only wash. I hadn't known people called it that. I just called it rinsing. I'd be raised with having hair rinsed daily and weekend used to be for shampoo. I've been doing rinsing for years and years before I noticed the whole natural hair movement and the terms they use. I do it because I'm allergic to all soap and all those manufactured hair products even the so called mild/sensitive or hypo-allergenic ones. The last time I was able to use soap and shampoo was when I was a 11/12 when I resorted to trying unscented, ph balanced baby products then allergies got worse. I'm limited in what detergents I can use to wash my clothes as well. The docs have me using emollients as a soap substitute. I've tried it in my hair a few times and found it doesn't work for me. Since I'm not using all those products all I have to rinse off is excess oil and dirt. I will use some mild vinegar rinses and oat water rinses sometimes. I will use a little coconut oil and almond oil on the ends of my hair. The online natural hair movement introduced me to DIY hair masks so I've had a go conditioning with banana, yogurt and coconut milk. Hair gets rinsed every day (every other day in winter). My hair is thick MBL with lots of curl definition and is soft. I've never ever had short hair in my life and I've never relaxed it or used any of the other hair processing treatments. I don't blow dry or flat iron either. My skin can't take the heat.
Yes!!! 🙌🏾 water only washing is pointless I can't even co wash I gotta use shampoo, I have way to much buildup. But it's just my own opinion so please, you people who do troll comments, just don't waste your time. It won't change my view point. But I shampoo and condition my hair every week and a half and my hair is healthy, long, strong even with low porosity.
I do the water only method but i do use Bentonite clay/shampoo to wash my hair. I rinse my hair more often and that helps with tangles and loose hairs and I do use oil and shea butter. I mostly stopped using conditioner because in the climate I live it makes my hair poof up and feel rough. I do have coil definition now, I feel it is because of the increase of water on my hair... I understand your concerns I had the same so i tweaked the method a bit...
The same for me I use apple cider vinegar and water as "shampoo" and I am planing on making my own natural conditioner. I use a mix of oils Shea butter, argan oil, olive oil, vegetable oil (thanx Henny for the research), and a little coconut oil. My hair is benefiting from wetting it everyday or every couple of days I mean because I would only wet my hair like once or twice a week and my hair was dry. You have to change any method to fit your hair what won't work for one might work for another. I do understand Narada's reasoning though and I still like the video.
I understand the idea is to be more natural or to go back to your roots or how people used to do but I don't believe in staying in the past. Products evolved for a reason after years of study and trial and error. So I'm not loo
I definetly understand your point on this situation. You are the realest person discussing this. New subscriber gained. I really like your hairstyle as well.
“People still commenting on that BS like I really give a damn” 🤣 #mood 3 years later and this video still resonates with me on a personal level. I love all of it .
This video had me laughing so hard. When I first heard of the 'water only wash method, it did not make sense to me either. The reason why I prefer your channel over some of the other natural hair channels is because you are an actual professional.
Thank you for speaking the truth. It's so easy to get caught up in all the UA-cam nondrnse. I have wasted hundreds of dollars trying products that would "work miracles" for my hair and always been disappointed because the truth is a clean scalp and moisturized hair are any naturals keys to success. Thank you for not joining in on the latest "natural hair trend"
this is why i subscribed to your channel because you tell me the truth. i was going to do the water only method until this video. thank you for doing this and all your videos. i need to learn to master my hair and only my hair. i love your videos and personality. i just know you will be truly blessed in the hair industry.
I dont 'water only wash' however I rarely use shampoo. I live a very active lifestyle and sport is essentially my life so I usually just massage my hair under warm water in the shower just to wash away the sweat and stuff. I dont class this is water only washing as I use shampoo but at the rate I sweat which is literally every day using shampoo, I think, is too much. And to be honest I do it because its relaxing as hell, not because my hair likes it lalala. Love your videos AHG, very good video :). You actually taught me as to why people do the 'water only washing' but I can tell you personally it doesn't really do much for your hair, my hair only 'likes it' because my scalp is very quick to get dirty so when I cleanse my hair in the shower, my scalp is cleaner (not as clean as it would be with shampoo, obviously.)
I was with you when I first heard of this method. I have been doing it for awhile and it has helped with my dry hair. Co washing actually makes my scalp itch like crazy not to mention contribute to buildup. Now with this method I do perform vinegar rinses when my scalp has build up. I understand different stroke for different folks. I still enjoyed the vid!
"People are still commenting on that crochet video like I give a damn..."LMAO! Dying laughing within the first few minutes! Thank you for breaking this b.s. water only method all the way down!
I love your point of view!!!!! I said the same thing. When we younger we all used the same products. Girls with routine hair care had long hair , girls with no type of routine had breakage and no growth.
When I went natural 2 yrs ago, I watched a million UA-cam videos, and tried EVERY product and method under the sun. My hair is always dry, so I thought abt it and decided to go bk to what my granny did....good ole fashion hair grease, and when it's time I wash and condition with Giovanni then add in my leave and re-grease...simple and my hair is healthy and on point! So, to each his own....u hv to find ur niche.
Actually, the inversion method does work...although I did it back in high school without turning myself upside down. Over three months, I was able to grow my hair 3 inches. People probably just added the upside down part because they feel it would promote the circulation to go down the hair shafts -_-. It's just massaging the scalp, which promotes circulation on the scalp; whether, doing it upside down or not. Just like if you were to receive a bruise, massaging it promotes blood circulation to heal faster.
lol it's real funny how often when people find stuff that's working for their hair hairdressers are always the first to criticize what they are doing... me i dont do the water only washing but i'am not gonna put down or belittle one who chooses to... i know a white woman who been doing this for years and she has naturally curly locs that before when using the ever glorious shampoo... (which didnt exist 500 yrs ago mind you and people had hair back then and lots )...since then her hair is thick, full no frizziness like before and shinier than ever... she does use on occassion baking soda and apple cider vinegar.. people constantly ask her what she using. why you hairdressers always gotta put people down?...Me myselft i use cleansing conditners (herbal essences and pantene both formulas the one for natural hair and even more so the cleansing conditner in the white bottle..)been for 9 1/2months hair never been thicker and shinier than before,, my texture has even got more wavier than before....letting go of shampoo was the best thing and guess what dandruff prob is gone!
You need to refer to the beginning of the video, where he said this is MY OPINION. He's not belittling anyone - if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
LMAOOO!! GGUURRLLL!! Imma choke you! You got me holl'n!!!!! I'm a natural gurl and I'm all for trying to take care of and do what's best for my natural hair... But sometime people take this natural shit too damn far! I LIVE for youtubers who speak the TRUTH!! Thank you for being honest instead of jumping on the band wagon! I appreciate the real!!!
omfg he said rinse cycle! lmaoo. you are truly the realest youtuber ever. thanks for making this video. I just think people should approache this method with caution.. if your hair is striving and moisturized already don't even bother trying it lol
I loved your crochet braid video and I halfway like crochet braids lol. Let them keep on clicking on the video and commenting so you can collect your coin. Just spread the natural sweat all down our armpits lmao
I was a little skeptical before I started it. You can't get caught up in the title without learning about the method. You don't strip your hair with shampoo, and it works for me! Every person that I've read about supplements the method with things like acv every now and then but to cleanse their hair only uses water. You might not understand it, but it works for plenty of people!
I'll also mention it is similar to the "wash and go" method in that you don't just simply wash and go...there are other steps involved, but the title is just a basic explanation. To each his own though, each person has to do what works for them!
+Nyeva B. I've done my research beforehand. Of course everyone have modified it and changed it to their liking but I am referring to the method itself and not the different versions out there. I'm glad you have found a routine that works for you. It doesn't work for a lot of people like it has for you based on what I have read in the comments below. But like I said, it's not for everyone.
+AfrikanHairGod I respect your expertise. Question, my hair is in box braids at the moment, I will start swimming 4-5 days a week, what is the best way to protect it? Thanks again for sharing....Cheers
I love this video so on point!! I don't know who's coming up with these ridiculous methods for natural hair. I am not following that sh*** some ppl just doing too much and wonder why they have breakage and 5 big chops keep it simple! Hair needs to be cleansed! Just like your body. I will always use shampoo that's what's deep conditioning is for. Natural 2 yrs no problems.
Ghana braids are popular now because it's summer. But I been liked them. I wanted them done in the winter and someone said thats for the summer. I said for who said I follow im own trends
Thank you for making this video, as I thought I was the only one who thought that this was simply nonsensical. You are correct in noting that these UA-camrs are simply bored, but I think it's also that they are going to ridiculous extremes, trying to attract viewers to their channels. Knowing how obsessed many are with having waist-length hair, UA-camrs know that there is an audience for this nonsense.
I water wash my hair once a week, and I love it. My hair is relatively short compared to your but it works for me. I think what your not getting is water washing isn't just running water through your hair. You have to massage your scalp loosening up all the dirt and build up. That's washes away. And for me I'm left with the natural sebum on my scalp which in the process also runs through your hair. I like it. I'm not saying I'm going to for the duration of my natural hair journey. But for now it works.
I can understand why some people may be turned off on water rinsing; and that it may not work for everyone. I could care less what people do with their hair; I'm more concerned with what works best for my hair/scalp. The reason I tried it was because I had serious scalp issues regardless of what kind of shampoos (regular and organic) I used. I have to say I no longer have scalp issues, my hair is growing, and it has gotten thicker. At first I could not fathom just using water, but I was desperate to find relief. Believe it or not, my hair actually comes out squeaky clean. To unclog the scalp, I massage and lightly scratch my scalp at least once a day. So when you rinse, all that dirt is rinsed out. Also, I use natural ingredients to strip dirt. So, yeah, you don't just use water. I don't use any oils on my hair/scalp so maybe that's why it's easier to clean. For those who are further interested, check out wateronlyhairwash She gives steps on how to keep your hair/scalp clean. :-)
Yes this method has been totally working for me for almost 2 years now, with better results than when I was using shampoos and products. My hair is growing at least an inch per month, and thick to the ends. I’ve gone from BSL to hip length in under 2 years with regular trimming. My hair and scalp comes out clean and fresh - no dandruff, smells, or flakes. I don’t even use other other products whatsoever except filtered shower water and distilled water.
LoL I watcged this video again. I love it! You were on one! Someone needs to tell these folks. I personally am relaxed and I see the same issues. People think they can stretch their relaxers for 9 months like others in UA-cam, only to experience lots of breakage. You have to do what works best for your own hair. When I was natural, I tried everything under the sun to no avail.
Next week there's going to be a rain only wash method having chicks going out hurricanes and shit
i hollered!!!
That, and a new Rain Water product line for natural hair.
Stephanie Andrea I'm screaming!!!!!!
Lmbo
Stephanie Andrea AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
The only people I see doing this method are people who already had long hair. I haven't seen anyone with a TWA or shorter hair doing it, and showing how much "growth" they got
Years later and this video is still iconic 😂🤣
John Johnson I watch it at least once a month 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are people making having natural hair so stressful? Since i found out what works for me, i do it and keep it simple, i stay with 2 to 3 products and i shampoo my hair every week, deep condition a few times a month and that's it, now my hair is healthy and longer.
Exactly. I've been using the same 4 or 5 products that have been working for me for the past 4 years. Hair ain't that damn difficult!
+lovelylady2910 I don't see why we aren't allowed to talk about it lol
+lovelylady2910 your username is deceiving because you are not lovely at all, this is just a typical response from someone who is bother by people talking about their experiences or giving their opinion, this video is about his thoughts as the hair professional that he is, if you don't like it maybe you should be the one to shut the fuck up.
Lol sometimes the natural hair community makes me sick. Chile I do what works for my hair and guess what I still use grease and water and times. U talkin bout soft and moisturize. My cousin told me bout the water only method shit I was like Im not doin that
same here. sometimes the natural hair community can go overboard
They are kind of bullies in a way
Shalana Smith Girl they make you sick sometimes? I can't stand them at all!
Always deciding what's good or bad, and bullying people who don't want to follow their nonsense!. Girl imma keep using my sulfates and grease and all the things that worked back in the days!
melehiB hello
Shalana Smith I agree. I have seen a lot of relaxer shaming. I used to do relaxers but they just weren't for me. I do not call anyone out for relaxing though. I'm worried about myself, not them. That's how it should be.
Water only wash may be acceptable for people who have thin or fewer strands of hair. I have thick, heavy hair, which easily absorbs odors from the environment. Water alone would not properly clean or refresh my hair. Without a moisturizing shampoo, and deep conditioner, I wouldn't even be able to comb through my hair and it would still smell.
Water only wash method? That is just plain nasty! As you said: "You ain't washing shit."
There's just no way I could do it smh.
Naptural85 has good genes and a top notch diet. Folks want her results, but don't have propensity to live her type of natural all around lifestyle.
AlphabetSoup Yes I Agree
AlphabetSoup AND SHE GAVE UP ON THE WATER ONLY SHIT TOO!!!
AlphabetSoup Exactly. She couldn't even finish the challenge
Yeah even the baby food she makes is all natural lol
AlphabetSoup Girl yes!!!!!! Try all that mess on 4C hair. Exactly!!!!
I am glad someone is questioning this. These fads can be really problematic. Would you water only wash your ass and armpits? Your genitals?
Actually you're not meant to use any soaps on your vagina as they ruin your natural pH balance and your vagina cleans itself all on its own I water is just fine
+Yellow and for your rudeness I will not be responding to your actual comment, because CLEARLY you are incapable of having a discussing like an adult. Would you speak like that outside of UA-cam. The worlds become a sad place. And no it's not because you made a point, I still don't clean my labia with soap, because in MY experience it's caused a reaction and yes it looks and smells just okay. Now good day, child.
itsmaryjane17
Yeah if you're constantly getting yeast infections, keep ignoring basic science and walking around with a smelly problematic vagina.
+Yellow yeah you're so right . Your labia and around your genitals needs to be washed with soap. And your ass?! Yeah that's the body part that needs to be washed the most .. Especially after going to the Bathroom. Sorry people toilet paper is not enough 🙄. It's incredible to see how many people don't practice proper hygiene practices . Especially in the United States where a bar of soap doesn't cost anything . By the way the best soaps for down there are natural ones with no fragrances . African black soap is a good one .
Melissa Lara Thank you. And it is really gross to suggest otherwise. I also use African black soap. Unnatural soaps do cause problems on sensitive skin areas, and in fact, they should not be used at all. Natural soaps should be used to clean the labia area.
I have sebborhic dermatitis I wouldn't even dare just to use water only to wash. I wouldn't use water only to wash these armpits in this 90° ny weather either👀
+shayna gonzalez me too, it's a struggle
Same here.
+shayna gonzalez forreal I have psoriasis in my scalp and around my face. I can't even a week without shampooing my hair because of the flakes and itchiness.
I'm late to the party, but my scalp would double dare me to co-wash, yet alone only wash with water. African black soap to the rescue.
Even the UA-camrs who've tried it for a YEAR, aren't excited about talking about it. One girl looked straight DEPRESSED, and said she ain't notice no fast growth, or nothing spectacular. They selling dreams out here. You can't spend NO money, and expect to look like a black Rapunzel.
***** Do you get that Suave, Tresemme, and coconut oil for free?... Then I don't know why you're talking about some "The hell you can't". I never said you had to buy EXPENSIVE shit. I said that you can't spend NO money, and expect to look like you're flourishing. Unless you're a farmer, or do "favors" for one, it's just about impossible.
+maybewise lol i think this applies only to you americans.. Other nationalities dont need to spend all that money just for hair
Taylor Haylor I don't know why you people are acting like I said you had to buy expensive shit. I said you can't expect long hair to come FREE. Cheap, or expensive, you bought SOMETHING along the way, and will have to buy more of it, the longer it gets. That's just common sense. If simply pouring water over your head made it flourish, it would be a hell of a lot more popular.
maybewise lol im sorry for misunderstanding :S You do have a point there
I agree with you 100% AHG!! What gets me is that none of the women I've seen doing this method exclusively use water & sebum. They do avc treatments, clay masks, okra masks, etc. They're still using items that can lift light dirt & buildup off the hair. Basically these women enjoy wetting their hair daily, doing scalp massages, and using minimal products. when I come across someone who exclusively uses water & sebum and has healthy hair, I may take the method a little more seriously.
Exactly!!!!
+Michie K Actually, like most people agree, you can adapt the method. The water only washing is just the washing part. Not the before or after. I only use water and my homemade shea butter cream to seal in the moisture. I also use flax seed gel to style sometimes. Other than that, nothing else goes in my hair. I use flexi rods to set my hair often. I have 4a/b hair. Lots of pictures on my instagram and even made a youtube video. Seems crazy, but my hair has never been better. I think this is only a method for people who do not mind playing in their hair every other day! lol
Don't put so much value into the name of the regimen. I've been natural for 2 years and this is the first time I really FEEL natural. It's freeing, it feels amazing to wet your hair while your in the shower just like everyone else. My hair is moisturized 100% of the time, and when it feels like it's getting dry, just hop in the shower and let the water and sebum work its magic. If you successfully don't strip your sebum it acts as conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, and sealant. The trick is cleansing the hair without stripping the sebum, because if you do you'll have to wait 3 or more days to get full coverage again. I'm here to say your pores will get clogged, so you have to scritch, massage, or use some natural cleanser. Many ppl still use shampoos and such, but they understand they will strip their sebum. They're okay with that and have devised a regimen where they treat their hair with oils while the sebum is coming back in. It's customizable.
+MoniFontella InspirationalTraveler agreed. it's working. I'm two weeks in just about.
+Michie K I've seen one where you rinse with water, then massage coconut oil in your hair, then rinse out = her hair looked pretty good
You should debunk more UA-cam hair myths! Love watching your videos😄
gaBBterz Yes!
gaBBterz yes I agree, I want to hear what he would say about the rice water rises
Lmfao. U got me DYIN'!!!!! Ur sarcasm is so ON POINT! But my thing is, what did people wash their hair with in Ancient civilizations. Especially the peasants/poor people.
soap was discovered...and fine tuned in the bible. in Babylon and in Egypt there are records of soap. in Job. in a lot of places....predating shampoo ...was a cleaning method to cleaning hair and skin. so Ya...that's what folks used "WAAAYYYY back in the dayl
Dimikins1237 Clays
Here's an object lesson....its late, time to wash your face after a long day at work...gonna use plain water to wash off the blush, mascara, foundation and such....or you gonna use something that will actually clean it? Now...transfer the analogy to your hair....what's the plan now ?
Dimikins1237 There are plants that suds up like soap and are used as soap to this day in the Amazon, Africa and Asia...etc.
clays and oil.....
Lawd I subscribed at 1:30 min in! LOL Video ain't even start yet.
I love your disposition.
And no, I would never do the water only wash method.
I refuse to even click on those videos.
I can't jump on every trend.
I love your "logic".
What Lies Beneath The Weave I'm subscribed to you lol. I love both of you guys channels.
These trends be killing me. I depend on deep conditioning for my moisture, alternating sulfate free with sulfates, and I might add a little extra moisture during the week to avoid breakage. Water for washing is ridiculous.
MsMelDC I deep condition after every weekly shampoo and my hair is thriving.
tj Tanner Me too. I do not use the harsh sulfates to wash my hair when necessary. A good weekly deep condition should keep your hair properly moisturized. Using coconut oil throughout the week helps prevent friction for me and avoids breakage.
MsMelDC I workout so I sweat a lot also with product buildup so I feel the need have to shampoo weekly. Never tried coconut oil, always have my trusty Olive oil on deck.
You had me when you mentioned that Nap85 is in a whole different league!!!! EXACTLY!!!! lol
Let's water wash our teeth lmfaoo smh MMM OMG.. I can't take it.
🤣💀
"Y'all bored--y'all need somethin' to do..." #DEAD
I know this is old, but WHERE do they come up with this stuff? It's a mess out here in these streets.
OMG ABOUT DAMN TIME SOMEONE SAID IT!! I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! Like this method to me is just nasty! It's gross how people don't want use some form of cleansing product to wash their hair. Like what about the dust and pollution and all the other nasty shit flowing around in the air? Just water is not going to get rid of the build up on the hair and scalp! But that's just my opinion. Do what ya want to do with YA hair but as for me am going to stick to what WORKS for me and mine!
I've been reading & watching vids on the subject & apparently when your hair gets too much build up you are supposed to wash with clays &/or apple cider vinegar washes whether it be bi weekly or monthly. So really, it's not even water only. You just don't strip your hair as much is what I'm understanding.
+nwsupernova exactly, the clay really cleans
amen!
you use more than just water..you're correct do what works for u
+nwsupernova exactly. so technically you use a clarification but its natural
You got me SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!! To each is own I guess, but I so agree with you regarding people comparing their hair to others. We've got to stop doing that. I am convinced that no two heads of hair are alike because there are things like genetics that do take part in the make-up of our hair. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Girl I was rolling 😂😂😂
I've shampoo and condition once a week. I can't see doing anything else. Maybe in the middle of the week, I'll get my hair wet in the shower but that's it. I don't understand co washing or water only washing..
kelli johnson Same here. I tried only co-washing once -for about a month- and I noticed that my hair started breaking off. I doubt I'll be trying it again anytime soon.
iamkellij so you don't wash your head for 4 days when there's dirty and pollution and everything on your hair?
Lexi Roark No. When you're black, washing your hair everyday will cause it to get dry and fall out. And it'll take too long. Any hairstyle I do after I wash it has to set.
Ive tried co washing for about 6 weeks and it made my hair feel lifeless and it started breaking off even though it appeared moisturized. So no, i will never cowash again and i will not be trying this water only method
This gallon of water you keep drinking got me laughing!
I love you AfrikanHairGod! The "not use toothpaste" had me off the deep end LAUGHING OFF MY BED!! U KILLER FUNNY!! Crack me up!
My father used to use tree bark when he was in the old country. They couldn't afford toothpaste. But he had better teeth than all of us.
Linda B I've always wanted to try that. How does that work?
Or the maximum hydration method lol freaking ridiculous
I never got that one. There's like a million steps and concoctions and you've gotta do it everyday?! For a wash n go?! Giirrrll
I WATCH THIS VIDEO A MILLION TIMES, I MUST SAY THAT I FREAKING LOVE U!!!
I do remember you commenting on co-washing and now many are realizing it's not the best thing in the long run
let's wash our dishes with just water too
lmfooooo "why am i so angry its only water " not the only thing u said but u have me rolling ..i was just considering trying the rice wate rinsing only but....
I gotta agree with you. You make so much sense. These people asks for a chrochet video. You give them one. And then they give you the stupidest comments. Don't let them get you. I know you're great at what you do, because you produce beautiful results. Continue making awesome videos. I freaking love them!!!! You make complete sense.
I know a lady that does this, and her hair is breaking off like crazy. She always wears a wash n go style, so maybe that's why...but the dullness, and the frizz would get on my nerves.
im really not a fan of naptural85 anymore.... she has turned into one big product review... she now feels so unauthentic and staged...
***** not really, the latest video i saw which was a recent wash and go on her channel she used probably ten different products and washed most of the crap down the drain... She constantly promotes products.. Paid reviews...
She is a spokesperson for SheaMoisture now
+Akeya Johnson I recently saw a video where she used so many products and had so many steps I got mad and turned it off. It made no sense to send all that product down the drain!
+Brittney R. stfu and move on... not everybody has the same point of view as you..
+Brittney R. which is why I stated I stopped watching the video. It wasn't about putting anyone down. I just didn't see the rationale behind using so many products. Then to top it off it was way too many steps. Some people are starting to do the most with these natural hair videos! But that's just my opinion not trying to offend anyone.
2019 and I'm dying at the Foolishness 😂😂😂 Just "wash your body with water " 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I don't understand the water washing only method. You're rinsing the dirt, but its still there. There are no surfactants to attract the dirt, for the water to rinse out. Scientifically, it doesn't make sense. If you wouldn't wash your body without some form of cleanser, don't do it to your hair and scalp. I'm all for natural products, but just using sebum and water only isn't doing an effective job CLEANSING. Water is doing nothing for the bad bacteria that builds up on your scalp, let alone other environmental dirt that your hair encounters on a daily basis.
I swear I can make a video telling people to put fish grease in their hair and cuz it have omega 3 and make your hair stronger
Your facial expressions are EVERYTHING!!!!!!! lol
I totally agree with @soulrunner. The WATER ONLY RINSE METHOD works when your 1. condis with coconut oil for 30 mins 2. massage your scalp 3. rinse with warm water. 4. then you can add more coconut oil as a leave in condis and then add what you like. 5. repeat every 3 days. Why must everyone do one thing? Everyone is different and to each is own. I have been doing for a few weeks and I NO LONGER HAVE SINGLE STRAND KNOTS, FAIRY KNOTS, I HAVE MOVEMENT WITH MY 4C 7 INCHES HAIR. Like plz people, stop thinking in a dam BOX or hating on what the next person wants to do. fuck I can do what the hell I like to my head,,,,, what about you?.
I can't believe this was two years ago already.
I will say I've DOING the water only wash method and I LOVE it!!! no its not for everyone but you also have to understand the process. I actually found out about by accident. I had mini braids and was watching videos on how people wash their hair. In between that I was rinsing my hair anyways because I like the feel of water on my scalp. when I took my braids down my hair was dry at the ends from where I had been mouisturing and sealing and soft and oily near my roots (but I didn't put anything on my roots as I didn't want my scalp to itch and have to wash my hair more. which yal know causes frizziness). I realize that was my sebum which no lie felt like silk when wet. so I clarified and started the process over. wearing my hair in twist and rinsing daily until I got full coverage. The WHOLE purpose of water rinsing daily is to get FULL COVERAGE which can take anywhere from 2 weeks to two months. Once you reach it that is when you add your natural cleansers (rhassoul clay, bentonite clay, acv, henna) and things that won't totally strip your hair. and there has been a study done with how the above items cleanse your hair. I can tell you I don't have single strand knots anymore and my wash day is a breeze. the sebum is similar to a pre poo. Some of yal reading this comments probably pre poo and add oils when your done. so what is the difference of using your own versus something else. If you have scalp irritation or dandruff you really should give it go and stop putting stuff on your hair when you don't understand the ingredients
Do you still only use the water only method?
It’s been 6 yrs how’s it goin 😬
Y'all are petty 😂
I'm a soap maker. soap promotes good health..... even if you don't use shampoo...you gotta take care of hair....and SCALP health. that requires more than water.
FINALLY! Someone is saying it! I feel like the natural hair community is bored. they out here doing the most. When I heard about this I was silently shaking my head. I did extensive research on it but when it came down to it I couldn't do it. It just sounds dirty! I get the sebum thing but why do you also have to have dirty hair. Why not wash your hair AND put oils on your hair. I can't even get into cowashing either. I did do it when I was relaxed and my hair was super moisturized but my scalped itchy like noting else. To me its not worth it. Would you wash your body with only water? Would you wash your body with lotion? SMDH I can't with these people. Also you probably heard about the inversion method also. Who has the time for that bullshit... maybe it works maybe it doesn't. What people need to understand is that your hair grows NO MATTER WHAT. YOU want long hair protect your ends.
I think natural hair women are taking things too far...
Each to their own. My health dictates that I do the water only wash. I hadn't known people called it that. I just called it rinsing. I'd be raised with having hair rinsed daily and weekend used to be for shampoo. I've been doing rinsing for years and years before I noticed the whole natural hair movement and the terms they use. I do it because I'm allergic to all soap and all those manufactured hair products even the so called mild/sensitive or hypo-allergenic ones. The last time I was able to use soap and shampoo was when I was a 11/12 when I resorted to trying unscented, ph balanced baby products then allergies got worse. I'm limited in what detergents I can use to wash my clothes as well. The docs have me using emollients as a soap substitute. I've tried it in my hair a few times and found it doesn't work for me. Since I'm not using all those products all I have to rinse off is excess oil and dirt. I will use some mild vinegar rinses and oat water rinses sometimes. I will use a little coconut oil and almond oil on the ends of my hair. The online natural hair movement introduced me to DIY hair masks so I've had a go conditioning with banana, yogurt and coconut milk. Hair gets rinsed every day (every other day in winter). My hair is thick MBL with lots of curl definition and is soft. I've never ever had short hair in my life and I've never relaxed it or used any of the other hair processing treatments. I don't blow dry or flat iron either. My skin can't take the heat.
Yes!!! 🙌🏾 water only washing is pointless I can't even co wash I gotta use shampoo, I have way to much buildup. But it's just my own opinion so please, you people who do troll comments, just don't waste your time. It won't change my view point. But I shampoo and condition my hair every week and a half and my hair is healthy, long, strong even with low porosity.
You're better than cable any day I never laughed so hard. Love ya!!!! Thank you again oh I pray you're feeling better too❤❤
I do the water only method but i do use Bentonite clay/shampoo to wash my hair. I rinse my hair more often and that helps with tangles and loose hairs and I do use oil and shea butter. I mostly stopped using conditioner because in the climate I live it makes my hair poof up and feel rough. I do have coil definition now, I feel it is because of the increase of water on my hair... I understand your concerns I had the same so i tweaked the method a bit...
The same for me I use apple cider vinegar and water as "shampoo" and I am planing on making my own natural conditioner. I use a mix of oils Shea butter, argan oil, olive oil, vegetable oil (thanx Henny for the research), and a little coconut oil. My hair is benefiting from wetting it everyday or every couple of days I mean because I would only wet my hair like once or twice a week and my hair was dry. You have to change any method to fit your hair what won't work for one might work for another. I do understand Narada's reasoning though and I still like the video.
+Skygurl2012lmao the same. if I have build up or need it once a month. I'm only doing this till it gets hot then its loc time.
This guy is legit the funniesst!!!!!!!!! "Ya'll bored" YESSSSSS
All water does is move sebum down your hair shaft. It doesn't clean.
I understand the idea is to be more natural or to go back to your roots or how people used to do but I don't believe in staying in the past. Products evolved for a reason after years of study and trial and error. So I'm not loo
I definetly understand your point on this situation. You are the realest person discussing this. New subscriber gained. I really like your hairstyle as well.
This has to be the funniest damn video I have seen in a long time!!! #crackinup
You have me dead with this video..lmao I can't! 😂😂
“People still commenting on that BS like I really give a damn” 🤣 #mood 3 years later and this video still resonates with me on a personal level. I love all of it .
This video had me laughing so hard. When I first heard of the 'water only wash method, it did not make sense to me either. The reason why I prefer your channel over some of the other natural hair channels is because you are an actual professional.
Wash n go is a lot more than just "wash and go" just like water only isn't really water only LOL
Thank you for speaking the truth. It's so easy to get caught up in all the UA-cam nondrnse. I have wasted hundreds of dollars trying products that would "work miracles" for my hair and always been disappointed because the truth is a clean scalp and moisturized hair are any naturals keys to success. Thank you for not joining in on the latest "natural hair trend"
I LOVE YOUUUU!! we need people to be more honest and realistic on this planet.....
this is why i subscribed to your channel because you tell me the truth. i was going to do the water only method until this video. thank you for doing this and all your videos. i need to learn to master my hair and only my hair. i love your videos and personality. i just know you will be truly blessed in the hair industry.
I dont 'water only wash' however I rarely use shampoo. I live a very active lifestyle and sport is essentially my life so I usually just massage my hair under warm water in the shower just to wash away the sweat and stuff. I dont class this is water only washing as I use shampoo but at the rate I sweat which is literally every day using shampoo, I think, is too much. And to be honest I do it because its relaxing as hell, not because my hair likes it lalala. Love your videos AHG, very good video :). You actually taught me as to why people do the 'water only washing' but I can tell you personally it doesn't really do much for your hair, my hair only 'likes it' because my scalp is very quick to get dirty so when I cleanse my hair in the shower, my scalp is cleaner (not as clean as it would be with shampoo, obviously.)
I was with you when I first heard of this method. I have been doing it for awhile and it has helped with my dry hair. Co washing actually makes my scalp itch like crazy not to mention contribute to buildup. Now with this method I do perform vinegar rinses when my scalp has build up. I understand different stroke for different folks. I still enjoyed the vid!
"People are still commenting on that crochet video like I give a damn..."LMAO! Dying laughing within the first few minutes! Thank you for breaking this b.s. water only method all the way down!
I love your point of view!!!!! I said the same thing. When we younger we all used the same products. Girls with routine hair care had long hair , girls with no type of routine had breakage and no growth.
African hair god is so funny I love love love his videos.
i dont care how old this vid is. i new it was going to be a good one when i seen that dam water jug.
I am HOLLERING!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!! I am new to your channel. You make SO MUCH SENSE....but I am CRYING!!!!!!!!!
What an iconic video, I watch it at least once a weak for a good laugh 😂😂😂😂
lol I died all the way up to "you ain't gonna washing shit"
Do what works for you. If the water only wash method works for you, then go for it!
When I went natural 2 yrs ago, I watched a million UA-cam videos, and tried EVERY product and method under the sun. My hair is always dry, so I thought abt it and decided to go bk to what my granny did....good ole fashion hair grease, and when it's time I wash and condition with Giovanni then add in my leave and re-grease...simple and my hair is healthy and on point! So, to each his own....u hv to find ur niche.
Lmao just scrinch your natural sweat... I am over here dying . I love your honesty!!!!!
I wonder how you feel about "the inversion method" for hair growth.
Yet another method that doesn't make sense. And it's dangerous.
Actually, the inversion method does work...although I did it back in high school without turning myself upside down. Over three months, I was able to grow my hair 3 inches. People probably just added the upside down part because they feel it would promote the circulation to go down the hair shafts -_-. It's just massaging the scalp, which promotes circulation on the scalp; whether, doing it upside down or not. Just like if you were to receive a bruise, massaging it promotes blood circulation to heal faster.
Katina Bright simple scalp massages make sense. But the actual act of inverting yourself can be dangerous.
+Night Angel I don't do the inversion method just scalp massages but what is the danger of it?
+Night Angel I do it. It works for me. And I'm still alive
lol it's real funny how often when people find stuff that's working for their hair hairdressers are always the first to criticize what they are doing... me i dont do the water only washing but i'am not gonna put down or belittle one who chooses to... i know a white woman who been doing this for years and she has naturally curly locs that before when using the ever glorious shampoo... (which didnt exist 500 yrs ago mind you and people had hair back then and lots )...since then her hair is thick, full no frizziness like before and shinier than ever... she does use on occassion baking soda and apple cider vinegar.. people constantly ask her what she using. why you hairdressers always gotta put people down?...Me myselft i use cleansing conditners (herbal essences and pantene both formulas the one for natural hair and even more so the cleansing conditner in the white bottle..)been for 9 1/2months hair never been thicker and shinier than before,, my texture has even got more wavier than before....letting go of shampoo was the best thing and guess what dandruff prob is gone!
Congrats! I'm glad you have found a routine that works for you. Thank you for watching!
+Damian Jeffery Water only is BS. If you won't do it for your body, why your hair? And they swear magic is happening.
You need to refer to the beginning of the video, where he said this is MY OPINION. He's not belittling anyone - if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
Damian Jeffery Chiiiiiiiile........... bye. You did all that preachin for nothing.
so she don't just use water? baking soda cleanses and vinegar does too
LMAOOO!! GGUURRLLL!! Imma choke you! You got me holl'n!!!!! I'm a natural gurl and I'm all for trying to take care of and do what's best for my natural hair... But sometime people take this natural shit too damn far! I LIVE for youtubers who speak the TRUTH!! Thank you for being honest instead of jumping on the band wagon! I appreciate the real!!!
omfg he said rinse cycle! lmaoo. you are truly the realest youtuber ever. thanks for making this video. I just think people should approache this method with caution.. if your hair is striving and moisturized already don't even bother trying it lol
I looooove your rant videos. I'm not a professional but I am a logical and realistic person like you. And I agree, ppl just bored. lmao
I loved your crochet braid video and I halfway like crochet braids lol. Let them keep on clicking on the video and commenting so you can collect your coin. Just spread the natural sweat all down our armpits lmao
I'm screaming !!! 😂😂😂 video made my whole damn week.
i told myself i wasn't gonna watch this entire video lol but it was just so true and funny
Water wash everything! 😂😂😂😂
I suspected that a video on this topic would be comedy gold! You did not disappoint.
the only natural whose questioning all these weird ideas ...i love this guys honesty ...uv made my night.😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😅 dirt sweat and oils...hahhhahaha
I was a little skeptical before I started it. You can't get caught up in the title without learning about the method. You don't strip your hair with shampoo, and it works for me! Every person that I've read about supplements the method with things like acv every now and then but to cleanse their hair only uses water. You might not understand it, but it works for plenty of people!
I'll also mention it is similar to the "wash and go" method in that you don't just simply wash and go...there are other steps involved, but the title is just a basic explanation. To each his own though, each person has to do what works for them!
+Nyeva B. I've done my research beforehand. Of course everyone have modified it and changed it to their liking but I am referring to the method itself and not the different versions out there. I'm glad you have found a routine that works for you. It doesn't work for a lot of people like it has for you based on what I have read in the comments below. But like I said, it's not for everyone.
+AfrikanHairGod I respect your expertise. Question, my hair is in box braids at the moment, I will start swimming 4-5 days a week, what is the best way to protect it? Thanks again for sharing....Cheers
I love this video so on point!! I don't know who's coming up with these ridiculous methods for natural hair. I am not following that sh*** some ppl just doing too much and wonder why they have breakage and 5 big chops keep it simple! Hair needs to be cleansed! Just like your body. I will always use shampoo that's what's deep conditioning is for. Natural 2 yrs no problems.
You should have your own comedy show. You are too too funny. I was laughing my ass off at work. Yo, you are crazy!!!!
That nonchalant side yeet of the water /gulp had me rolling. Lol
*hmpf*...These Slaves to fashion...Next They're gonna say.., Rapid Blinking Grows n Conditions your hair
lol!!! and people will do it
Ghana braids are popular now because it's summer. But I been liked them. I wanted them done in the winter and someone said thats for the summer. I said for who said I follow im own trends
O-M-G!!!! This video had me CRACKIN' UP! This was a super-Rant and it was hilarious!!
OMG. You dropped the mic on this one. Delivering logic ❤️
I was waiting for this video lol
Thank you for making this video, as I thought I was the only one who thought that this was simply nonsensical. You are correct in noting that these UA-camrs are simply bored, but I think it's also that they are going to ridiculous extremes, trying to attract viewers to their channels. Knowing how obsessed many are with having waist-length hair, UA-camrs know that there is an audience for this nonsense.
I water wash my hair once a week, and I love it. My hair is relatively short compared to your but it works for me. I think what your not getting is water washing isn't just running water through your hair. You have to massage your scalp loosening up all the dirt and build up. That's washes away. And for me I'm left with the natural sebum on my scalp which in the process also runs through your hair. I like it. I'm not saying I'm going to for the duration of my natural hair journey. But for now it works.
I COULDN'T WATCH THE FIRST 2 MINS WITHOUT REALIZING THAT I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!!!
YOU ARE TOO ON POINT, AND I LOVE IT!!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!!!
I can understand why some people may be turned off on water rinsing; and that it may not work for everyone. I could care less what people do with their hair; I'm more concerned with what works best for my hair/scalp. The reason I tried it was because I had serious scalp issues regardless of what kind of shampoos (regular and organic) I used. I have to say I no longer have scalp issues, my hair is growing, and it has gotten thicker. At first I could not fathom just using water, but I was desperate to find relief. Believe it or not, my hair actually comes out squeaky clean. To unclog the scalp, I massage and lightly scratch my scalp at least once a day. So when you rinse, all that dirt is rinsed out. Also, I use natural ingredients to strip dirt. So, yeah, you don't just use water. I don't use any oils on my hair/scalp so maybe that's why it's easier to clean. For those who are further interested, check out wateronlyhairwash She gives steps on how to keep your hair/scalp clean. :-)
Yes this method has been totally working for me for almost 2 years now, with better results than when I was using shampoos and products. My hair is growing at least an inch per month, and thick to the ends. I’ve gone from BSL to hip length in under 2 years with regular trimming. My hair and scalp comes out clean and fresh - no dandruff, smells, or flakes. I don’t even use other other products whatsoever except filtered shower water and distilled water.
Me too i almost tried this nonsense. But then my head itch i was like nope.
My sebum production is too low for these games
LoL I watcged this video again. I love it! You were on one! Someone needs to tell these folks. I personally am relaxed and I see the same issues. People think they can stretch their relaxers for 9 months like others in UA-cam, only to experience lots of breakage. You have to do what works best for your own hair. When I was natural, I tried everything under the sun to no avail.
