Yes!! I'm over a year into water only as well. Hands down the best head of hair I've grown yet.
I'm just starting not just my hair but my body too and ect
I might need to try that
A MALE PERSPECTIVE...
Hey, LOVE your energy !!!!
For me it has been a journey; I woke one morning and asked myself, "...why are you cutting your hair off --BALD every two to three weeks..." ????? and dealing with crazy and painful razor bumps on the back of my head and neck... I could not come up with a logical reason, other than I was told all my life that I had BAD-NAPPY hair. Long story short, I felt like I did not KNOW my own hair and by extension a part of myself. So, I too was looking at UA-cam videos and came across the -water only method- I have been using water ONLY and coconut oil as a moisturizer for about 3 months, no shampoo, no conditioner, no leave-in conditioner, no "products" whatsoever, nothing...!!!! I LOVE MY HAIR...I LOVE MY HAIR....I LOVE MY HAIR...!!!! I work out and wash my hair with warm water everyday and use coconut oil as a moisturizer. Also, the coconut oil dose not clog my pores, so I use it as a complete body moisturizer, instead of lotion. I just wanted to share and I hope this helps and encourages others...PEACE and LOVE ---Chris
Chris Gipson thank youuuu!!
Chris Gipson this is beautiful!
1 year late but sending you love and happiness Chris!
you're so fucking stupid oil is not a moisturizer it's a sealent
Chris Gipson Aww, how is it going? How did it go?
I'm six months in to water-only washing. I started it when I lived in Asia and could not find castile soap. I'm in my 40s, and my 4A/4B hair is shinier, darker, and fuller than it's ever been, and I don't use any products at all.
I adore your videos! I still watch your 'insect video' when I need a good giggle!! Thank you, Rachelle! Cheers!
How often do you water wash?
+LadyofLeisure Hi. You should make some videos of your travel adventures :)
+Chara Wells Hi! I rinse my hair every day or every other day in the shower (my hair is quite short). Have a wonderful day!
+Courtney Hi Courtney! Oh, you're so sweet! I will consider that! Have a wonderful day!
Would be nice to hear about your experiences Traveling While Black and also see what you see :) You have a wonderful day as well Lady!
We need your earrings ma'am. Slide us that link please.
lol
if you deal with problems from scalp odour while washing with water only you can use an apple cider vinegar rinse, it works great for neutralizing bad odour!
Also helps move the sebum down the hair strand and helps to detangle.
I second that use a boar brush it will change your life. I wash my brush each time I use it to distribute oils
Listen to what this woman is saying. I can personally tell you right now that NOT BATHING every day, you do NOT stink. Washing just with water is real and it works. The natural clay dust and natural bacteria ensure you never smell bad. What she is saying is true. But it also works with the entire body. The only people who are going to have real issues are those in the inner city being exposed to petroleum tars. My daughter's both do this, as do I. It has been over a year now. Sone months we bathe twice only. No one could ever tell we are not using commercial soaps. We do use detergent for our clothing though. This is how God created human beings to live. And yes, it absolutely takes about a month to acclimate.
I intend to listen. I recently started showering with water only and does feel soft. Also , I want my short natural hair to grow much longer. Washing it with water just might do it.
they mentioned your earrings, but that lip colour though...
Brianna Angelica -okay!
It's definitely giving looks like a lip combo I see a light middle with a darker outside
I was on the water only Regimen in 2016 for six months and my hair was glorious!! Sadly I wanted a temporary relief from my thick hair and got a keratin treatment which acted as a relaxer and destroyed my hair completely :( I had to start all over again (have been transitioning now for 1,5 yrs) and stumbled over your video again! :) it inspired me to keep going and get on the wow regimen again to help me grow out my natural hair long and thick (which is a blessing as I know now) again! Thank you!! :)
Sebum protects the hair. You can swim etc. and just water wash and your hair will be amazing. That's right. Sometimes your ends feel dry. Add a little coconut oil or olive oil, just something natural is important.
DANG your hair has grown so much!!!!
+calie cowen Thank you!
+calie cowen I SAID THE SAME THING WHEN SHE WAS IN THE SHOWER.
+BorderHammer have you done a length check recently, and do you combat breakage
water only washing is so great! I started in 2014 and my hair is so strong and breaks less and even after having my son I felt like my post partum shedding was a lot less damaging because of this. And your hair looks beautiful and thicker, and it has really grown. Length check please. :)
Can I use only water for washing my feet ? Should you wash your feet everyday like armpit ?
Ive noticed that when I do wash my hair back to back with just water, my curls tend to look really healthy and defined naturally.
I've been trying out a raw Aloe Vera wash on my eldest. I wash her nowadays with nothing but the inside of an aloe vera plant and moisturise with a mix of shea butter and oils. Her hair is soft, maintains moisture for dayyyysss and she absolutely loves it and looks forward to washing her hair. I'm curios to try this water only method on myself
Can you give us an update?
I used to follow the water washing only method when you posted the video. My hair THRIVED!! It quickly got the longest and healthiest it has ever been. Unfortunately, I got a Brazilian Kerstin treatment with acted like a relaxer and ruined my hair. I had to start fresh (big cut after 4,5 years growth, hair was breast-shoulder Blade length) and was so disappointed that i lost all interest in natural hair care. Now I wanna Start water only washing again and hope to get my hair as beautiful as it was back then 😊🙏
is your hair stilly beautiful ? Without shampoo?
@@LordStuba unfortunately, I started dying it due to greys coming in so I’m off the water only bandwagon:-(
Use natural rose water for scent Sweety
You remind me of judge Lynn Toler and i think shes perfect
Was thinking the exact same thing
+Roneica Williams Wow quite the compliment! I wish I had half her grace! xo
Omg she does!
Gorgeous! I've been back to water wash only after a year off and wow! I love it.
I one day decided that I want omit products and found water to be a great moisturizer when used right. I want to go no product. And just have my natural oils. Ur hair is beautiful btw. My hair is growing amazingly and it has a nice natural smell. I eat Lots of fruits and vegs. And drink water regularly and my hair is like baby hair. My hair used to be the type that needed tons of product that needed a curl. Even with co washing didn’t give me these results as great. I’m excited to really see my hair flourish.
I'm glad I found someone else who does this. I haven't used shampoo in almost a year, and I haven't missed it at all! My hair is moisturized and growing!
OMG yesss!!! I have been waiting on hair tips from you, your my hair twin. So lovely to see your spirit :)
I'm so glad you're back! I've missed you're videos!
Well look at us about to celebrate 200k! Let me get my cocktail ready. It's so good to see you. You really do have a natural gift of gab.
Welcome back and love the Thursdays!!
I am so happy you are back! as soon as I see your notification whatever I was doing can wait
+Erika Zvimba Me too and how awesome are you?!! xo
I’ve tried this for about a month and it make my hair a new level of curly I love it
Shampoo is an Israeli designed product which strips your hair of natural hair oils. And makes your hair lifeless and breakage. Your hair grows so much if you use water oil and your scalp becomes hydrated that's why it's important to look after your natural hair oils :)
Going on to 3 months and my hair is thriving so shampoo is definitely not for me
Thanks for this video! I've been doing water only washing for a year and it's amazing. I just love the freedom of knowing that I can go anywhere and my hair will be taken care of :)
Yayyyy you on it girl! Glad to see you back with us in UA-cam ville. I have fine thin strands as well and am seriously thinking about adapting this method. My hair has become really dull since transitioning from relaxers. Thanks for the tips.
Great video, I'm thinking about trying this myself!
Yes, you're doing great! Loving the Thursday videos!
I love you! So glad you're making videos again. You're the only UA-camr with my hair type!!!!
Yay one year!!! Congratulations! My one year will be the end of March. I'm excited!
I've been doing this water-only washing method since you first made that video last summer and I'm so glad I gave it a try! I love the results it's given my hair, it's never felt softer! It did take a really long time to fully coat my waist length hair so I ended up moisturizing my ends with oils after the first month ...also my hair has no scent so I do sometimes spray my hair with either hydrosols or a diy fragrance (distilled water + essential oils)! Thanks for coming back and keeping us updated! I know that naptural85 was trying out this method too but I'm not sure if she's still keeping up with it.
Im definitely trying this for the rest of the year
definitely the key to washing your hair is to make sure to massage your scalp. i usually take a bath when i wash my hair. i add a few drops of lavender oil for benefits . then i use honey only at the ends. after detailing my hair i either use aloe or flax seed gel to lock my curls.
Jaritza Rosario honey is sticky?🤔
How do you wash the gel oit
I created a water only wash routine that works for my hair also. I began using rose water about a year or so ago, it leaves the hair with a nice subtle scent. ♥
+Aubrey M Which brand of rose water do you use?
Hi, I use Heritage Store Rose Petal Rose water. I buy mine from Whole Foods yet I put an amazon link below ♥
www.amazon.com/Heritage-44364-Water-Rosewater-Store-Liquid/dp/B0001TMDF0
+Aubrey M Thanks!
♥
+Aubrey M i bought rose water but i didnt know if it would be healthy because it has alcohol in it ...but conditioners have alcohol in it too but I just didnt know.
My life is so complete now that you are back!!!
Giiiiirrrrrrrrrrl your hair has grown tremendously!! It's beautiful!!
Loved this video and so glad you are BACK!! Thank you!!
I am happy that you are back. Your hair is the most like mine I have found on yt and your videos are fun and helpful.
Can you do a full wash day routine?! Loved this video! And also you said to protect the ends in the beginning of the process. Did you use any gels or stylers to lay your hair down?? Thanks so much for this vid.
I too have fine fragile hair... And the water wash only has been amazing. Once you get full sebum, and for some. It does take longer than others. It took me about 3 to 4 months before I really started to see a difference. And I think I will start doing my avocado mask again. I think the avocado gives my hair a coat of goodness for a couple of days... lol
Great video!! I love your hair, it's so beautiful and an inspiration for me! I've been in protective styling now for a couple of months since I learned to make my crochet wigs from your video! It has made a total difference for my hair and I thank you for those videos too!
Wow!!! This video came out so long ago and you're still helping people. I'm a natural and I'm going to try this. I like to make my own flaxseed gel and I love coconut oil. Thank you for this video.
I am really glad to see this video!! because we strip out all the natural oil, essentially with car grade degreasers (which is what is in all the shampoos on the market), then we put conditioner back in, which is so expensive and needless. I haven't tried this water only method but am going to try now. Your hair looks fantastic!
It’s been awhile since I’ve visited your page. I haven’t really been on UA-cam. Your hair has grown so much. Looks beautiful and healthy.
I'm loving your Thursday videos!
Great tips and glad you're back.
I literally can watch u all day! So informative and easy going!
just seeing you on my timeline my day got better!!!!
Great to see how beautifully your hair has thrived with this method. I'm too scared to do this because of my eczema - I have to avoid oil buildup - but I am happy this has worked for you and others
3 weeks into the water washing only method. So far so good. Thanks for your tips.
You are a breath of fresh air.. lol happy you're back!
You are such an inspiration. Luv your videos. Keep them coming.
I would love to see a video showing a full week of your washing/hair care routine!
water washing does work I used to do it when I was relaxed only thing I did different I would put conditioner on my hair let it sit for 30 minutes my hair grew to my shoulders within 6 months
Your hair is so pretty!
Thank you so much for sharing this video! It has awakened me to how I lost the love of my natural hair. I've been doing so many protective styles that I think I lost the desire to truly love nurturing my own hair! I'm going to start this routine this weekend and begin again to love my own hair. Thanks again for sharing. Your hair is beautiful and so are you inside and out! Check back with you soon on my results!
This is the first video I've seen of yours. Thank you for the info. I have liked & subscribed. Your hair looks beautiful too!
Great video, love the personality and very detailed instructions. Love it sis ❤️
Thank you!
Thank you dear! Planning on doing water rinses starting next week! I was a bit nervous but this helpful break down has given me much more confidence to start this journey. Thank you!
Your hair is growing beautifully.
So glad your back! Your hair is long! Thanks for the video!
This just brought me joy. I so love you
This is the first that I have ever heard of this. Recently I have been thinking about using my natural hair oil in some way. I will consider this method. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful! I think I'm going to try this. Keep up the good work!
Great video and advice, I've been transitioning for the last 8 months and I just recently stopped using shampoo and I use coconut oil and water, my new growth loves it and surprisingly so does my relaxed hair.
Missed you glad your back....
Here's a suggestion for anyone wanting to start. After clarifying hair, blow-dry as straight as you can get it and then put hair in 8 to 10 cornrows going back. Then crochet your braided ends into the cornrows that way all your hair is close to your scalp. Then for the first week water rinse every other day. When your scalp starts producing sebum it will get on the roots and the ends so you don't have to wait for it to reach the ends. Plus hair is protected. Do this for 3 to 4 weeks and by then all your hair should be covered in sebum. Then take down braids and brush thru hair and continue water rinsing every 3 days. If all your hair is covered with sebum by the 2nd week then take braids down then.
Than you ❤
Insightful video. Something to think about. So glad u r back on my lineup.
Your hair looks amazing and the proof is in the pudding. I can't argue with ANYONE who is utilizing a regimen and they have hair that is as lovely as yours.
I'm so glad you Backkkk
+Casandra DuBose Me too!
+BorderHammer Glad you are back too! Btw, have you seen African Hair God's vid on this method? If not, def check it out. If so, what are your thoughts? Just curious.
I've tried water only washing before. It was fine for a while but my hair was long enough to tangle, but too short to really twist it up. I also have ezcema on my scalp. I started using Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle conditioner as a co wash and a natural styling custard to help keep my curl. It's working out pretty well for me. I love the curl maker! It makes my hair shiny and gives me perfect hold. I also like kinky curly curling custard, Cantu define and shine custard, and beautiful textures curl definer styling custard. All of which rinse clean out of my hair.
I commented on the other video but regarding the washing and the scent, you could always try rice water infused with herbs (or essential oil). Since the RW is supposed to be warm/hot then adding essential oil or herbs to it while it's warming up on the stove would be a great way to have sweet smelling water ^^
Priceless rice water like just rice?
I was questioning doing this but your hair looks amazing !!!
I might have to do this! I, too was going to give up on my hair!
I have been natural for about 15 years.
And the only reason why I don’t perm is because i’m allergic.
I have loc’ed before for 4 out of the 15 years and that is the only length/growth I have seen.
I came across your part 1 water only video and i’m like YESS!!! SOMEONE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS ME!!! AND HAIR TYPE!
I’m definitely going to start this IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I will keep you posted too!!
Thank you!!!
Wow thats amazing! Go for it. I did it and loved it and still use it incorporated with my multiple hair issues/regimens. Check out her WOHW YT channel or website (www.wateronlyhairwashing.com) with everything needed to start do this regimen. ua-cam.com/channels/w0jjBA8eh8qWwFHGYjHNHA.html - WOHW on YT. I studied them all, hahaha and made pubiic playlists out of them - WOHW CLEANSERS; WOHW CONDITIONERS etc.
I live in NY so in the summer everyday and as it gets colder twice a week also I add in rice water rinse and it works great.
Lovin the Thursday videos, missed you so much :)
this great I've been waiting for this update thank you
Yea, keeping your Thursday commitment! You are sooo cute and helpful!!
Have a great weekend!
girl, I missed you fa real. good to see you back, and yeah, Thursday's awright, it's prep for the weekend :)
wowww... your hair has grown so much!!!
This is so new to me. I'm shocked that it works so well for you. I'd love to give it a try.
I absolutely love this method, I achieve full coverage in 2 weeks. Having said that, even though I rinse my hair daily, by week 4 I begin to have that grayish yucky feeling stuff on my roots and on my length! that is when I do a bentonite clay wash to get rid of it but it will be back in just 2 weeks! As much as I love the method, I don't have energy for a clay wash bi-monthly.PS: I use a texturizer on my hair, so yes, if your hair is chemically treated it will work just as well, I have my most glorious braidout while doing this method.
I love you ❤️ and your videos!!! I started water washing 3 months ago and I love how it makes my hair look, better looking even when I used product!
Love the video. Those earrings are EVERYTHING!! I need those in my life! Where did u get them?
i want to thank you. seeing this video 2 months ago and tried it and i loveeeeeeeee it! thank you for the inspiration!
I loved you video! You didn't mention how often you do this. Thank you!!
THANK YOU. I’m using coconut oil and some products that I made. Aloe, fenugreek and marshmallow root...
Wow....your hair looks great!!! In the beginning I started watching your videos because I have Natural 4A ,fine/thin, low porosity hair like you’ve described. Now look how your hair has changed its nothing short of AMAZING!!! I WILL be incorporating water washing in 2018!!! Thanks for sharing! ~Blessings
Ah my sister, you and your hair looks beautiful.
I recently ran into or noticed some scalp issues and moved away from shampoo. I basically keep my hair cut low since the time of the high-top fade and curls.
But I was looking for a natural way of washing my hair and came by your video- I have never heard of washing African hair with water only as a proper thing, but it makes sense. So I will start this today.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you girl, this was so helpful!!
After clarifying i immediately used a homemade deep conditioner of pumpkin purée (i tried avocado once before and i like the pumpkin better) mixed with a little honey and sweet almond oil. i really recommend it! after completely rinsing it out, it left my hair soft with no build up. i couldn’t start this method with my hair feeling like straw.
Glad your back!!! I've tried African pride products and they work really well and have a lot of natural ingredients its half the price of shea moisture. I usually get it from Family Dollar and Dollar General
Wow!!! Your hair looks great!!! One day I'll be bold enough to try the water only on my fine hair but in the meantime I'm really loving your hair.👍🏾
Your hair is looking great!!!
I've watched your channel for along time now and I just loooove your personality :)
+Shavonne Ritchie Thank you Shavonne! 😙
I absolutely love Argan rain shampoo. Leaves my hair soft. Smells great, unlike other shampoos and I definitely recommended!
You are SO cute, my dear! I absolutely LOVE listening to you. So positive and upbeat. Your advice is simple, clear and concise. My hair is fine and dry. I have been doing WOW since July 2015. I see some growth, but not what I expected. I will not give up though. I love this method. I will begin to use some leave-in because I thought that I couldn't use anything at all. My dryness is probably what is preventing me from achieving length. Thank you for your advice. I love the curl enhancing smoothie, but I thought that glycerin removes sebum. I also thought that glycerin would increase my dryness in these cold, dry months? BTW...has anyone ever told you that you look like Gabrielle Union? Pssst...(actually, you are prettier in my opinion. Nothing against her, just my humble opinion). Be blessed and please keep making videos.
Ok, I'm in! I have installed mini twists and will be starting on Sunday. It's Friday, 4-1-16 and the only reason I am waiting until Sunday is because my hair is stretched and I want to have stretched hair on my birthday tomorrow. So Sunday it is and I am super excited!
Your hair looks so pretty! Could you do a demo of how you styled it? 😘
