I am SOOOO glad to have found your channel. I so appreciate all the education you share, as these are things that I’ve not been told before to make the most of my natural hair. I now feel more confident in taking care of my hair because of what you are showing and teaching. Thank you!!!!!
My hair loves glycerin as well! I've been "natural" since 1989 and find that Jheri curl products work best with my high porosity hair. I recently started using some of Design Essentials products because of you. Mielle organics Avocado hair milk is also spot on for its moisturizing abilities too. I look for products whose first two ingredients are water and aloe vera followed by glycerin. I find that combo to work exceptionally well for me. Thanks for another great video, you're a SUPERB teacher!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate! Doing what I love to do! And I will add Mielle Avocado Hair Milk to my list of products to try! And yes -- ain't nothing like that Jheri Curl products! They are full of glycerin and excellent for hydration!
I love my rat tail comb. I watched a UA-camr years ago who used one and I have not seen anyone else use one for fluffing until I found you. I don't subscribe to many channels but I am loving your content and personality so I am a subscriber 😊
I just found your videos a week ago and have watched 5 of them so far. They are Awesome!! I followed your steps and my hair is so much manageable and I feel like I know what I'm doing with my wash and go's now. I can't Thank you enough 👏🙏
Hi Karen….just some general info after watching your video. My wash and go styles look great the day of and on day two. However, at night, my type 4 hair smashes so much, when I wake up on day three, it’s literally a ‘TWA’ w/ very little definition. If I try this routine, my short hair would require more sections at night. 😊 I need to purchase more leave in conditioner, but I do have the mousse you used in this video. My stylists confirmed that my hair needs more moisture. She sells Design Essential products in her salon, so purchasing that won’t be a problem. Here’s my question about daily maintenance for my dry hair- can I use the Design Essential moisturizing lotion everyday? I never know what to do to ‘refresh’ and maintain my curls on a daily basis and I get a little frustrated. Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Denise! More sections -- I get it! LOL! The Design Essentials lotion has alot of glycerin in it so if you use ALOT everyday it may build up ... however at times I've used 'alittle' daily and its ok. If your hair is short, you may not even have to use the banding technique. Is your hair short? Ear length? Short cut? I think I use her as my model and do a video on maintenance for shorter hair. Also -- here's an older video I did on reset a wash n go with shorter hair. ua-cam.com/video/2otJbyR53MQ/v-deo.html
@@KarenofCurlHouse Thx for the suggestion. When my hair is blown out and flat ironed, it would mimic a layered style - bangs in the front, longer on the sides and the back grazes my shoulders. My hair has nice curls when wet and great definition (and shrinkage) when I add styling products for a wash and go. I can also wear my hair in a pineapple. 🍍
Hi Clue Ann! Thank you so much! Check out this video - one of clients who was able to restore her hair after years of locks. ua-cam.com/video/U6gSbUxkZL4/v-deo.html
Hi, just subbed to your channel. :) I'm in the process of greying and its stressing me out sometimes LOL. I have shelved my wash 'n go's because i'm trying to keep my hair stretched. I've become a blow dry natural lol.
Hey there! Welcome to my channel! Oh yeah -- I tell you - I understand that stress! When my hair started greying it was like I had to get to know my hair all over again! I had to shelve my two strand twist out -- and opt for the wash n go now because I have got to keep this hair moisturized! I couldn't keep my hair blow dried because you know you have to stay away from water with a blow out, and this dry hair craves water now! LOL!
Hello there! Yes, you absolutely can spray water first to dampen your hair, or you can spray the leave-in conditioner only because the typically the first ingredient is water anyway. I will add that you don't want to spray too much water if its really late at night because you want to make sure your hair is dry in the morning. But either way works!!
@@KarenofCurlHouse thanks for answering … where are you located? Would love a consultation … I joined the wellness waiting list… I’m stoked to be a part
@@veronagraham6816 HI Verona! You can get the Curl House Leave In Conditioner from here -- curlhouse.com/products/hair-nourishing-leave-in-conditioner The Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Lotion amzn.to/3q5wr5Y
Hello there! Yes it can be used on relaxed hair. I do have customers with relaxed hair who use my product line. The only thing to be mindful of is the growth drops (that's applied to the scalp for growth, healing inflammation, etc) is WATER BASED, and not oil.
In a short bob and my hair is super coarse( like wire 😂) I was recently diagnosed with CCCA. It was caught early and I still have active follicles and no bald patches. However, there is shedding, thinning and breakage. I lead a vegan lifestyle, drink only water, and workout 5x a week.
@@respiratorylife1893 By any chance, did you email me as well? I just got a email from someone with a similar situation. Wanted to make sure before responding. If that is not you - send me an email to info@curlhouse.com so I share the next course of treatment.
Hi Maria! Short hair really depends on the style, or how short your hair. But you can still reset curls if you need to moisturize your hair using moisturizer and a little a mousse, particularly if your sides are really short.
Finding your channel has been an answered prayer. I have a new appreciation for my natural hair and working on the health of my hair!
Thank you so much! Slow and steady will produce amazing results! Stay encouraged!!! 💜

Yay! Thank you so much! So glad you are learning and keeping your hair healrhy …
My hair like glycerin too, so I use curl activator gel. The downside is it's sticky and runs when I sweat.
Yes!!! You can try diluting it with a little water to offset that 'gooey-ness'.
Your hair looks really good! 🥰💙.. thank you for these tips 💙
Thanks a bunch!

Great video thanks for the info. Can you do more videos for gray hair care please😊
Yes yes yes! They are coming! Its on my list!!! Anything in particular you are interested in?
Best purple shampoo, should gray hair be washed less often?
Hey, now started to follow your videos. I must say I'm enjoying them.
Q: how do you re-thicken short hair after years of dread lucks
Hi Clue Ann! Thank you so much! Check out this video - one of clients who was able to restore her hair after years of locks. ua-cam.com/video/U6gSbUxkZL4/v-deo.html
I love this. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!! 💜
Great video! Could a person with natural hair also braid their hair at night, then take the braids out the next day and have waves?
Yes yes yes! I do that as well! You can braid or twist it actually. Will do a video on that as well 🙌🏾
Great video as always. I cannot use glycerin because it turned my hair into afro. Can you recommend another product without glycerin. Thanks
Hi Wannella! Try aloe based moisturizers. I believe TGIN has moisturizers that are glycerin free.
Thank You. ❤
You're welcome 😊

Now as far as liquid leave in, would you recommmd spraying water first then … spraying liquid leave in ?
Hello there! Yes, you absolutely can spray water first to dampen your hair, or you can spray the leave-in conditioner only because the typically the first ingredient is water anyway.

In your opinion I should opt out of purchasing the drops?
