Correction: I said oil has a pH of zero, and I should have said “no measurable pH/highly acidic.” I am aware of the pH scale and how it works. In the midst of recording I misstated the information and missed the planned correction I intended to make while editing.
__________
POINT OF CLARIFICATION: I have received several questions around the oils tip, so I will clarify here and likely address it again in another vid! I am not saying oils are bad, of course they provide vitamin content and many act as emollients/conditioning agents. I am saying, if you are drenching your hair in oils that cling to the hair, and you are expecting them alone to moisturize, that is going to cause the hair to have excessive build-up and eventually repel water, aka moisture. I am speaking to those experiencing issues with breakage, shedding, itching/flaking, dryness and so on due to using only oil as a "moisturizer" and/or neglecting to fully cleanse the hair. I included this tip due to the large number of clients I've seen doing this and having issues as a result. And as always, if something doesn't apply to you or you disagree, continue with what you want to do/use. I hope this helps!

FAQs:
My haircut - I am a licensed cosmetologist and I cut my own hair. I have a square perimeter with round layers that I cut while wet. I cut a few inches off in June 2018 to reshape. You should definitely see a stylist and not cut your own hair (see • Back to Black: DIY The... at minute marker 6:15 to learn why!)
My washday - I cleanse and deep condition every 5 to 7 days. If sooner, I will opt for a shampoo + rinse out conditioner or co-wash depending on how my hair feels. I steam every other full wash with deep conditioner for 10-15 minutes or use a heated cap.
My hair type - wavy + curly, high density, medium porosity and fine strands.

You probably won't read this because this video is 3 years old, but I decided to go back and look at some of your old videos compared to your newer ones. And I found out that you are so consistent with the content and information that you share. Your advice is tried and true. Thanks Mo!
Turn to your neighbor and say "Neighbor, what works for you may not work for me."
MiMiLuvsMakeup haha!!! Alright now!
Lol....seriously Mo Knows Hair!
MiMiLuvsMakeup Amen!!! 🙏🏽
Amen!
The thoroughness given to school us on the misconceptions, second hand illusions and the misrepresentation of our naturalness made me think this style really took 20 min. That's called engagement without frills. I'm here for this🙄!
I’m not a fan of long videos, so when ever I’m trying to watch a video that is long I skip, but there is no way I can on this video with so much great info. Thank you!
Thank you for clarifying that companies that make jair products are only marketing towards hair types because that is what we asked for. In reality when they formulate these products it is for the hair needs not for hair types. Once we understand that. we will understand that we can use any type of hair products that will give us the results that our hair needs.
I agree wholeheartedly!!! I used to get so upset when someone would ask why I use mousse in my hair. It worked. After using it my stylist would see the great results and then stock it to use for other clients.
To be honest I never thought about pinning my hair to my scalp so my roots will dry flat. Thanks for the tip.
Mo for president!! Best intellectual hair content on UA-cam period! She truly has a deep passion for hair and it shows in the way she delivers her content to us. I also appreciate the scientific backing she provides about hair and products and they way they are formulated to work. This was raw but much needed information the natural hair community needed to hear, after all Mo is a licensed and passionate stylist that was born to educate the masses😉thanks again for another great video
Lina S I totally agree!
This is why I love this woman!! These YT naturals be doing the moooossssttttt, and most of them don't know what tf they talking bout. Mo always gives us the facts. Thank you for being such a valuable resource, Mo. You are appreciated.
Ain't been to school yet okay
Preach it Mo! Shampoo is NOT the enemy!🙌🏾
Not only are your videos on point - but how you explain what to use and why is so appreciated!!! Day 3 hair pic made me gasp!! Girl!!!!!
I was thinking half way through "I'm going to have to watch this video a couple times" lol true knowledge. At the end if the day...do what works for you!
Me too gotta watch this again
THANK YOU MAMA MO THANK YOU! Common sense is foreign now days! So many men and women do NOT think about what they are doing in a rational way! I am chemistry student in college I am still learning but everything that you said in this video is 100% correct. About PH, humidity, Silicones, and technique is A1! I always appreciate your incite, intelligence, guidance, compassion, and reasoning. You have helped so many men and women with thier natural hair I cannot thank you enough for helping me with mine and being a resource and light to look up to and count on! Not all heros wear capes!
Xavier Thompson what a wonderful endorsement! ;)
You are everywhere haha💕
Fatima Cole am I 😇 i had no clue anyone watching!
Go chem student!!!
"Brands market to you the way you wish to me marketed too" very true.
TELL THEMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! I grew up in a family of professional cosmetologists and it aggravates my soul when some you tubers stress certain things like no shampoo or using food in your hair. I mean it’s god given common sense. I get so excited when see stylists like yourself spit so much helpful knowledge that not everyone has access to. I love you mo! Keep doing your thangggg!
I grew up with licensed stylists in my family too... and now as a stylist myself, I’m just trying to be helpful!
I literally just watched another video that basically taught the opposite of what you're saying. And because I'm still learning how to take care of my natural hair after 8 years, I feel so desperate that I was actually considering something crazy like...not washing my hair for months. (SMH at me) I struggle with overly dry hair and frizz, usually the very next day after my weekly wash and deep conditioning. And after sitting there and taking the time to load all kinds of products in my hair, LOC, LCO and just recently, LAOC and my hair still ends up a dry, frizzy mess within 1-2 days. I've watched this video twice (which says a lot because the way my attention span is set up, I usually only can watch about 6 minutes or less, LOL) But I said that to say, as smart as I am, I NEVER considered using only one product for styling. My mind has been conditioned to just stack all sorts of products on my hair. Then I have the nerve to complain about how my hair doesn't grow past a certain length or how my hair never looks moisturized or how my hair is always frizzy. Thank you for this video, It has truly made me rethink my upcoming bad hair decisions. Lots of love and continued success to you!
Sherita Dunbar This is me. So me. I needed this video. It's 20 minutes but it has more info than a 5 minute one.Mo's hair is gorgeous. Thank you for this video.
*applauds* yes yes yes! fewer products in styling makes my hair so much softer and nicer. and it dries faster than 2 days
Sounds like your hair is high porosity, especially if your hair takes in water easy and dries fast . Try products geared towards high porosity. Shea moisture has a mask in the blue label that works well for this issue. Hope this helps
@@rosemaryarrington836 I definitely have high porosity hair! (I did the test twice, Lol) I'm taking a look online at your suggestion now. Thanks:))
Will be rewatching with a pen & pad. You are dropping some hair saving knowledge Mo. Thank you👌🏼
DreamAngel123 PFW IKR!!! Very informative. Thanks Mo.
I know right!
You are always a breath of fresh air. Thank you for clarifying and demystifying all of those hair care “trends”. Again, she has repeated, OIL IS NOT A MOISTURIZER!!!!!!
*AMEN!* This was a loaded & necessary video. Thank you Mo for refuting the illogical natural hair notions, myths, & unnecessary/detrimental practices created by those who lack the credentials & certifiable knowledge. And thank you for emphasizing the use of "God given common sense". I sure do use mine! Trial & error, simplicity, patience & learning one's *own* hair are key. Some people just want someone else to do the thinking for them. *Excellent, helpful video!* Very much appreciated! 💜💜💜
Amen! You said that! I've been natural for almost 5 years, and I stopped using shea butter in that first year, it did nothing for my hair. Trial and error is how I worked my way to a good regimen. You the best Mo!
Loved this video! After 7 years natural I have seven whole products in my arsenal. That's seven products from shampoo to silk oil that work on both my daughter's and my hair. We use them in varying combinations for wash and go's to silk presses. Still seven whole products.
Vanicream shampoo
Vanicream condtioner
Rotating deep conditioners (depends what's on sale at Sally's)
Jane Carter's Curls to Go Styling Custard
Jane Carter's Styling Foam
Ion blow out cream
Ion Silk oil
Dat's it! At most we use 4 of the 7 at a time. I am too tired and there is too much hair on our heads for all these steps. Preach Mo. PREACH!
AMEN! 3 months ago I stopped using heavy creams, butters, and oils on my hair and now my curls pop with just water and mousse. My hair is no longer weighed down. I use the synergi brand which consist of a shampoo, conditioner, glaze, n mousse and my hair has never been happier! Our natural hair really don’t need all the mess we put on it. Great video!👍🏾
Sanfran 53 yaass👏🏾👏🏾 I did the same about a month ago and joined the foam styler world. I no longer have to worry about breaking gel casts and I have great definition and softness. I’m going to have to look into the brands mentioned as well. Thanks Mo for the great video as always!
I had to pause the video to take a lap around the Church with the other saints real quick! 👠 👠 🏃🏾♀️ 💨 🗣🗣👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 🎵
Ohhhhhh how I've missed your UA-cam vids/tutorials!!!!! The info you gives us is just awesome!!! And CONGRATS Mo on all your success sweetheart!!!
You honestly make me love taking care of my hair. The tip regarding oil just cleared up a problem I was having. Thank you 😊 Mo sure knows damn hair❤️😂🤣
Very, very, VERY informative! I learned so much in this one video. Straight-no sugar...just like natural hair care should be taught. Wonderful job!💛
Over 19 minutes of my hair auntie?!?!?!? Let me grab a snack!!
hair auntie? Are you a kid?
Mo, I’m rocking a fade now but I still clicked on this video. When I had hair, you got me together and I found a routine that worked perfectly for my hair. While I no longer need hair styling tips, I’m still gonna watch everything you because sis, YOU DID THAT. I love ya so much and glad to see you thriving. It felt so nice to hear that familiar into music and your voice is as soothing as ever. Thanks for making my previous natural hair journey as awesome experience. 💜💜👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So many gems in this video! The entire time I was just like “Preach ma’am! Make it plain!”
Hair Eduction, that`s what I will call this video, it was so informative, Thank you.
I will be rewatching this again and again
just jenene. Me too! It's like studying for an exam but with interest!
Arthea Canada exactly!
just jenene. Me too!! I've watched it 4 times already just saw it less than 24 hours ago! Hopefully next year I can get to New York and get an appointment!
You remind me of my auntie (may she rest in heaven - I miss her so much) but I love how you keep it real. Yes! "Your hair is dirty And your cuticle layer is weak"
That made me laugh. Thank you for sharing your gift, which I hear much of as being a teacher. Bless you 💕💖
Just trying to be clear because I want to help, genuinely, or else I’d mind my business and say nothing! Thanks for your kind words 💜
Mo Knows Hair 👍🏾and Amen! I heard that preacher preaching. My husband is a pastor and I love your style. Keep being you and I know you will 😉
Sograteful 2012 Girl that made me laugh too along with the “if your read on Al Gore’s internet that Curly girls don’t need shampoo, it’s a lie” 😂
Are you a kid?
Thank you for acknowledging NYC humidity and how it affects the hair/regimen. I stopped going to professional stylists for a long time due to them either not knowing or not willing to work with my hair in all four seasons. It doesn't matter how good my hair looks in the air-conditioned salon - if I can't replicate the style between appointments. The answer was to keep it short - but as I get older, I enjoy the ritual(s) of adorning my hair. Will try the CRN butter gel again and see if it works on my braid outs as my hair is too thin for a good twist out. Congrats on all your achievements mama - you are an inspiration to many!!!
Wow.. *mind blowing *❤❤❤ when she said she spit some bars... She did that lol
The tip on natural oils and butters was a huge eye opener. I never understood why my hair felt dry days after styling. Thanks so much for your transparency on these misguided trends. Your hair knowledge is priceless so keep blessing us with these types of videos lol.
Girl, I am so happy UA-cam recommended this video for me! I watched the whole thing from start to finish and was thoroughly informed/entertained the entire time! 😂
Thank you so much for your expert tips and for setting us ALL straight haha! I have never felt more confident in moving forward with my natural hair journey than now.
P.S. Next time I come to New York I want to buy you coffee!
Watch all her old videos. You'll love them
Best video on the internet right now! 😩🤗😩😍 Great information!
MOTHER, IS HOME TO DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE!!!!!
Keisha Hicks yesssss!!!
Latoya B.B. I follow all her hair advice and my hair is thriving!!!
Mother? What? I am sure that the Mo does not stand for mother!
Wwwa hope two dream
It’s also funny that years before the raw butters and oils challenge, here’s MO telling and schooling people all day! Lol
Exactly. Truth is always consistent. It's lies that change.
@@uberhaute_naturalz84lol period
I am overjoyed that you had time to do this informative video. You are the reason I went natural and the reason why I kept trying when I felt like giving up. I have never tried a twist out, but in fall, I’m going to try it. I know it’s going to take some work on my part, but I’m going to stick with it till I get it right. Thanks for your inspiration! Thanks for all you do! Peace, Love, and Light!
So helpful Mo! 5 years and i’ve never understood the LCO, LOC, abc method anyway. I’ve had to learn to keep it simple and listen to my own hair needs :) Thanks for the positive & constructive reinforcement
KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY TO HAPPY HEALTHY HAIR. AMEN ! GREAT KNOWLEDGE MO, GOD BLESS!!!
You’re literally the only hair person I trust . I love watching you do your own hair ...I mean the clients are amazing but these are my favorite . I use the purity shampoo too! And I love the price 😂 before I can get some aveda money. Thank you for debunking myths for us 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You are preaching! So glad you are sharing this information. I'm not even a stylist and I'm tired of seeing all the bad information about hair care. Hopefully UA-cam catches on so I can get back to enjoying hair videos again without seeing people do a million unnecessary steps still complaining about dry hair.

OMG! I'm here for this 19:47 video ma'am!!!! I missed you kickin hair knowledge. I also caught hairlyghost while you were preaching 😂😂 And as
always, your hair turned out beautiful!
I love the knowledge. I take actual notes. Teach us Mo, teach us.
Daniah Miller yes I need to take notes!!!
Absolutely the best! Al Gore’s internet has introduced me to you, so it’s good for something.
your twist out turned out beautiful!! I really appreciate you listing all the products you used especially the tools you used as you were using them in the video! I miss your youtube videos, I love how informative they were but I understand you have a business to run, so keep doing you Queen and we will be here patiently waiting for you when you decide to make another video!
Love the way you explain things, you are one of my first follows. Thank you for your honesty.
Thanks Mo!! God Bless you for taking your time out of your busy schedule to school us!!
In a word ... GLORIOUS!!! I LOVE IT!!! Missed you so much 💗💗
Welcome back, Mo! I've been waiting on you. Thanks for sharing!
We missed you so much!! Going into wash day with some new tips! thank you thank you thank you!
Here for all of this!! We all needed this. Thank you for your education and LICENCE & CERTIFIED knowledge.
So much great information! You're so right about trial and error. I was convinced that oils had to be a part of my regimen, while my hair was telling me the exact opposite. I developed a sensitive scalp, which I never had even in my relaxed day and my hair felt like straw. Finally I used my common sense (!) and my hair began to flourish. Now to eliminate some of the products I use, which is hard for a junkie like me.
A week later and I’m still rewatching over and over again...I couldn’t get enough. I needed a reset. My hair thanks you!
Loved this informative, light hearted video. Your hair is amazing!
Maaaaaan I absolutely love your no nonsense tone and your KNOWLEDGE.
Looooove this video🙌🙌🙌
Sheesh...was I the only one who had to keep rewinding this video to hear all the massive info she gives you each minute . haha. Appreciate you so much Mama Mo!!
Thanks for the information Mo! It was great seeing you and you were truly missed on UA-cam
Tell it like it is Moe! I hear you loud and clear. Thank you for this great lesson.
I am so impressed by your knowledge and really appreciate you for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. I wish that all stylists took the time to educate themselves about hair the way that you do. You are awesome and I hope you will continue to share with us. Thank you!
Yay. Mo knows hair . Posted. Thanks for the insight girl. Always a pleasure when you give us the details on proper healthy hair management.😊🙌❤

I recently found your channel and literally tears formed after watching many of your videos. I’m sure you won’t see this given the age this video
but I’m just so angry with myself. I had long beautiful hair much like yours and chopped it all off 5 yrs ago for a shorter style ( needed a life style change).
The “stylist” I had never educated me on proper hair care, but I have to take ownership as well. I abused my hair with a flat iron and products trying to manage a shorter style. I am now paying the price with thinning and brittle hair.
So many regrets!!!
I wished I discovered you years ago. I took my hair for granted to be honest.
That old saying “ you know better you do better” is what I’m living by now when it comes to my hair.
So I’m binge watching many of your videos to educate myself. Also, trying to find a professional who will educate me on proper hair care.
Thank you for helping me on my hair care journey. I’m starting to feel a little better . If I had a wish right now, it would be a personal consult with you !
OMG Mo you be on point! I always love when you drop a video because I learn so much from you more than any youtuber about hair. I love the education. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so i can get a routine down. Thank you so much!
Thank You Auntie Mo for the education about hair you shared in the video! Miss your videos! Congrats on all of your endeavors :)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽bravo diva! I have been following you since before you got your license from the Aveda Institute and as a fellow stylist of over 20 years I say you’re a breath of fresh air!
I would love to see more videos of you doing more flat cell hair. As much as I love all of these coils, most of your clients seem to be in the mid range of round cell. Would love to get ideas on how to deal with my type of hair (flat cell, color treated). Thanks
great to see you back mo! looooove the style and tips!
You’re back! We missed you!
Wow this video was so perfect for me. You make it so easy to understand. I appreciate this video. Can’t wait to use your tips on my next wash day.
Continuing to consistently drop gems!! So grateful for your knowledge and guidance. You’re amazing 🙏🏾💛
Class is in today and I'm taking notes. Teach I can watch this again and again I appreciate the knowledge. Watching a tutorial of yours is always a treat. Much love thanks again.
GIRL I have missed you. I absolutely love your videos. They speak nothing but the truth and are SO informative. This video has helped me alot and I'm actually gonna have to watch it another time to take notes on the tips you provided. Thank you for all your knowledge. You are awesome.
Yessss!!! With the FACTS honey!
Amazing video!!! Mo is amazing at what she does. I have been following a better regimen since visiting her at the salon. Very helpful.
Halfway through the video and I realized I need to be taking notes STAT! thank you so much, Mo
Mo girl! You are the best. I have been watching your videos for years and you are truly a gem in the hair game. Keep educating us girl :)
This video was very informative and worth re-watching. I'm sure I missed something because I was so into watching you separate those twists. Absolutely gorgeous.
THANK YOU! Yes, we have missed you but this video was worth the wait. Even before you asked us to listen to it again, I had already decided to listen to it again and again and again. I have been a huge fan and appreciate your honesty. Thank you for teaching us from your heart.
Amen !!! Hun I've been missing your videos so much I go back and watch the older videos ! This video was amazing and you really did spit so bars in it !!! Blessings to you and congrats on your future projects❤️😊❤️
Bravo! Thanks for all of the science, and the reminders that we all have to put in the work to find what works best for us individually. As always, you excel at content and education- it as worth the wait!
Thanks Mo soooooo much! I really did the LOC method and found it only worked on the first day and you explained why! Thank you sooo much! I will watch this video a few times because I need to learn how to moisturize and then retain that moisture.
I’m glad to see you back. I credit you 100% to the information that put me on the right path during this hair journey. Could have never reached waist length healthy hair without you. You deserve every good thing that comes your way. 💚
You spit nothing but facts Mo!! You’re one of best natural hair educators out there!😄👏🏾
Thank you for keeping it simple! You're hair is do beautiful. I have been lazy and have not been giving my hair the red carpet treatment. This video gave me a good talking to so I can get back in the game and get this hair clean and healthy again! Thank you again!
I’ve been a fan of your page from the very beginning! You’ve always delivered quality content plus educated your viewers. You always seem to teach from a place of kindness, which I appreciate. I went back natural 8 years ago and I’m just now getting to a place where I’m listening to what my hair really needs. It’s easy to get caught up with what others are doing with their hair. I have fine hair so layering so many products doesn’t feel good but that’s all I see on YT/IG so I kept up that routine. Thanks for the info, gave me the boost I need to do better 💕
Long overdue lady! Thanks for the infamous professionalism you share I really learned sometimes today and yes I am a victim to some bad hair care choices... but I'm going to do better! Always a pleasure!
I’ve been watching you for years. I love your approach. You have stayed true to your philosophy of hair. Always happy to see your videos!! 😊😊
This is the most informative natural hair video I have seen in a LONG time...great job.
Amen to that!!! Shampoo please!!!
Michelle McLaren YES!(Just the thought of trying to wash my hair with conditioner makes my scalp itch!)🤪
Thank you Mo. I’m still struggling with my hair and was tempted to loc it, relax it, but I cut it short. You have given me the confidence I need to start over again. Thank you 😘
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is the first video I've watched and absolutely love your channel! This is the first channel that has educated me thoroughly for curly hair queens and kings. I look forward to implementing your tips and continuing to be a loyal subscriber!!!
So happy to have you back on YT!! I loved this video so much, such great information.💎💎💎🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Yes ma'am!! Thank you for this video Mo, I needed these tips and extra knowledge, because I am struggling girl! The internet is definitely a trap, and I fell for it, but learned quickly, with the help of your videos and trial/error, to make it do what it do and listen to my OWN head of hair! Definitely going to rewatch and refer this video! 💜💜💜
This has to be the most (accurately) informative video on natural hair I’ve ever seen 😭😩. Too many alternative facts and too much fake news out here. Thank you!
Preach Mo, preach Mo, preeeeaaaacchhh! You are such a vital asset to the hair community. Thank you for your brilliance ❤
This is the most comprehensive hair tutorial I've seen on UA-cam and I e seen alot! Thank u for sharing your wisdom with us Sista Mo! ❤
Preach!!! This video gave me so much inspiration and life. But, when that praise music came on... I died Chile lol. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us Subscribers!
Girl!!!!! I felt your hoop coming in towards the end! THANK YOU for this video! This was all the truth and you solved a mystery for me. I was wetting my hair daily and didn’t know why I suffered from breakage. Now I know! I’ve since cut my hair much shorter but I’m thankful that I now know what may have been the culprit and if I decide to grow it back to shoulder length, I know what NOT to do! Take care!💕
😍💥💥 love the tips, corrections, and reminders in this video!! and of course loving the results of your twist out! so full and light as always
Thank you Mo for addressing the hair typing system. I have always carried the same sentiment.
