Philanthrope, Leavv - What Was Before chll.to/5fd582cc
Thank you for normalizing our hair. The media has made it seem unnecessarily complicated. When you started talking about the obsession with porosity I couldn’t agree more. I never cared about that and couldn’t understand why it mattered so much. I’m happy I’m not the only one who realizes its not that important when it comes to normal or everyday hair care. I love your energy. You are awesome! Stay blessed ❤💕
It kinda is complicated tho 😅 waking up every morning looking at it like "what am I gonna do with this" 😭 but yeah I completely understand where ur coming from stay blessed my brotha/sista 🤝🏽🤝🏽
@@allensfantasticmusicthat is because you don’t feel comfortable with your natural hair. Other hair textures seem less complicated because they wear it as it grows. We feel like we have to always have a style in our head
@@Latte-girly90 if I wear my hair as it grows it would be loc.
@@cherrelleg8276 technically every texture’s hair would loc up, so this is a non factor. That’s why even other textures use combs and tools. point is, they’re not uncomfortable with the hair that grows out of their scalp😉 (yes we know the history of it all. But we’re in the present now)
@@Latte-girly90 wow you are so spot on with this because most of us black women don’t feel comfortable with our hair how it grows out of our head always have to have it “styled”. I have been wearing my hair out in an Afro some days minimal styling and I feel so confident I get so many compliments on my hair and people just stare and people tell me how beautiful I look with my hair. I still wear extension braids and wigs when I want to switch it up but I have started to get comfortable with just wearing my hair out
Omg just watching you take care of her hair with so much love and attention makes me happy. I with we had stylist like you in south Africa!
Thank you! I hope to visit there and do natural hair there someday
@@AfrikanHairGod Lovely!!! a Masterclass for/with the hair stylist could be a good idea too.😇
What kind of brush are you using?
How do you flat iron hair without burning your client with hot steam?
Make sure the hair is completely dry from root to tip
What blow dryer are you using?
Some kiss by red dryer... Nothing special
This was literally a life saver. I find my hair drying out the closer to the front I get and never thought to just re-mist it. You just saved me from so much breakage!
A lot of hairstylists will use the comb attachment to blow dry the hair instead of trying their hand at using a paddle brush with a blow-dryer. They tend to think it's convenient and quicker when they could actually be tiring themselves out and possibly damaging the hair they're working on. I appreciate you demonstrating your best technique. Because of you I feel like I can do it myself instead of paying someone to put my hair through unnecessary stress.
Facts
I use the revlon blow dryer brush. It’s a life saver and cuts my blow drying time in half or more.
@@JustAshleyDanielle lol I just bought that dryer haven’t used it yet. My hair appointment is in a few days so I’m going to blow dry and trim my hair first prior. Hopefully it’s as good as the reviews and you say 😬🤞🏾
@@JustAshleyDanielleI've noticed that blow dryer breaks my hair off
Smiling throughout this video as proud former cosmetology school teacher and stylist.. The skills, education and thorough explanation my my my… you got it 😍✨
Awww thank you so much!
@@AfrikanHairGod Absolutely!
Thorough explanation times ten! I have watched tons of videos and you are the ONLY stylist who has explained blowing to this level of detail!!!
I have to say I learned how to blow my hair out so much smoother because of you. That damn comb attachment trash always lol.
😇🙏💯👍
I broke so many as a child smh
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that I watched a video where you were contemplating teaching. Based on this video alone I think you need to open a school and not be a teacher unless you are a teacher of teachers at your own school. Your knowledge is amazing thanks for sharing. I'm always impressed by how much information i get from each video.
This is my 8 year old daughters exact texture and hair color. I am learning so much about the tension method from you. I usually break her hair down into those twisted sections before washing. Last time I blow dried her hair I used the Dyson with the comb attachment and she complained about the heat. I think the tension method and paddle brush is more efficient especially for a child. Thank you for this gem.
If you haven't already check it my video on how to do a proper Blowout. I hate the comb attachment with a passion ua-cam.com/video/V-1PYO3JrMg/v-deo.html
You should get the Hot Tools Blow Dryer brush, it makes this process so unbelievably easy. My ten year old daughter does her own hair now with it.
Anyone else played the Cynthia sound effect every time he said hydrogen bonds... Just me o ok lol
Whew! That is a nice blow out! Can’t believe it only took 30 minutes!
Narada you look like you’re so gentle and tedious. I love it! 💛💛💛
Thank you! I really try to be gentle
My childs hair isn't as long as hers and it takes a minimum of 1hour
Re-wetting the hair makes do much sense. I loveeee that. I remember blowing my hair out on soaking wet hair, worst blow out EVERRRRRR
Yes!!!!
Thanks for this. Not only does the peanut gallery make our hair "weird" but we do it to each other. We went from Black is Beautiful in the 70s to something is wrong with you through the 80s and 90s. It was like natural hair was a crime. We went from just a nice press or blow out to you need a Jerry Curl, relaxer, fried dyed and laid to the side. Now we back to all things natural.
When you say the "peanut gallery" who are you talking about, because honestly the only people making afro textured hair weird or difficult is other black people. I don't mean to be rude, but we love to say stuff like that, and truly no one else is thinking about us or our hair.
@@monember2722 you made a true statement. I received the most bullying and foul talk from other people. They were my peanut gallery.
From the late 60s through the 70s, it was all about social change and challenging the status quo. The people who were in high school and college during the 60s and 70s went on to adopt the yuppie lifestyle of the 80s and 90s. Of course, that meant that Black folks would either straighten their hair or make their curl pattern looser in order to get a decent job, and unfortunately we’re still fighting for the right to wear our natural hair in the workplace.
This is great! The stylists I have gone to don't understand that it takes time to detangle our coarse 4c hair. Lol it be your own people too. My poor hair always gets ripped through. I'm used to it now but some days I just opt to do my own hair. I know what she's like. Hopefully I can find someone like you in my area.
You showed nothing but Love to her hair. I could literally cry, as I recall the snapping sounds of a former stylist blow drying my hair. This is Love.
❤️😢
Only a minute in and already you've showed me why blowing out my sister's hair the other night was sooooo long and hard to do. I thought the more heat protectant the better. I even almost got a new hair dryer nut something inside me was saying its not the tools it's your technique. Thank you soo much for sharing this tip. Gonna go finish now:P
You explain things very well. I've learned A LOT from this video. 😊 Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into it! 👏
Thank you for watching! 😊
This was the most comprehensive and helpful blow out tutorial. Wow. Thankyou! 🙏🏾
This was so very helpful. I've always had trouble with blow drying my hair with the hair reverting so fast. I will try the paddle brush and take my time to make sure I get those roots dry. Thanks for sharing 😉😊
Praise God for you!!!! Narada this video was right on time, cuz I'm getting my hair braided inna few weeks and I'm REQUIRED to blow out my hair and I'm nervous cuz I don't want to damage my hair...man if I had the money I would fly to see you or henny cuz these stylist today ain't it!
I bought this brush because of this video! I am trying to learn how to blowout my hair properly to decrease split ends which I’m prone to, and your technique I think will work for me! ❤️
Thank you for explaining the appropriate products to use after washing in detail, I feel like everyone always skips that. Been trying to figure out if I needed to use a leave in b4 the heat protectant for like 3 hrs!
It doesn't really matter they are all gonna mix on top of the surface of the hair anyway
Sorry this was from my second channel....
You made this seem so easy and effortless
I’m so glad to know I’m not alone in holding the drier like that with the comb attachment 😂. I’m going to try the brush again. I really did like the result better. I just need to give it another chance and more practice.
You suppose to holding down
This is a great method. I’m going to get that brush because I’ve been seeing my other faves use it as well. I usually put a plastic cap over the head to keep in the moisture and just pull out the sections as I go. You’re right it can’t be too wet though. Great education as always 👍🏾
Thank you for this video! I just tried my first blow out on my 4c hair with a paddle brush and I must say I "HAD" decent results except for my ends. They were very ragged and still had tight coils at the ends. Is that because I need a trim or because I have never used heat on my hair since I grew it out 5 years ago? I tried lighter products ( a leave in/heat protectant and serum) but the ends began to revert as soon as I was done. So much work but it's longer and since I deal with constant tangling, I'm thinking a blow dry would be quick so I can braid it up and not wait 2 days to dry in large plaits for a heat free stretch. I need professional help!
The rev air saved me from breaking my hair off drying to blow dry it
@@LBright4444 its so expensive though right?
First off, you make it look like an art project, your strokes are on point!
It’s soooo funny I watched this video as I blow dry my hair with a comb attachment 😂. My hair is never smooth like this and I tried the way you do it years ago and got overwhelmed with it all. You make me want to try it again and just be patient with myself. Plus find a really GOOD paddle brush. Do you have some you can recommend?
Check out my shorts on this video here. I also really like the Denman D38 brush for detangling.

@@AfrikanHairGod thank you!
Her thick coarse hair is so darned beautiful 😍!
For me knowing im low porosity helps me avoid thick products especially oils. Less is more for us.
This came at the perfect time! Thanks again for the great tips and knowledge
I watched so many other videos on blowouts and this is by far the best one. It's helped me sooo much!! Thanks 😊
May I ask what the name is your paddle brush
I thought it was just me who hated the comb attachment! I find it causes so much damage when I style my hair myself. Thank you for this informative video.❤️
What hair dryer are you using plz …does any one know the name of it ?
I want to give you more than one like because you have done an amazing work ♥️
🥴 Porosity is VERY important. If your hair is porous you need to make sure you’re using low pH products and cationic conditioners to fill and flatten the cuticle after using water of any kind. Which is why things like Porosity corrector and neutralizer can give high porosity hair a lot of added shine and silk.
It's not because you should be using those things ANYWAY so what would be the need for the distinction in this regard?
If it reverts the next day hiw soon can blowdry and press again?
Thank you 😊 I know my comments late ⏰ but I’m currently in school and they teach how to blow dry fine hair but not natural more coily hair so this was definitely helpful and keep doing what you’re doing.
Hello 👋🏾. I watched this yesterday and then ran out and bought the brush. OMG!!! I was able to detangle and blow dry in about an hour. This is life changing. I wish I saw this years ago. Anywho, thank you so much for sharing this information!!!!!!!
You are so welcome thank you for watching!
I use the the Revlon round brush dryer because of my disabilities.
Come attachment is the best thing for my hair. Gets it the straightest.
Do you straighten your hair often?
Excellent tutorial! She favors y’all. Is that yo cousin?😂
The few times I’ve blown my hair out I grab the nozzle for more control. Next time I’ll try using a detangling brush instead cause that comb does pull and doesn’t get the roots well.
I love when scientist get on and talk about hair structure and porosity.
She does kinda resemble Alia but naw I don't think we're related 😂
I don't own a paddle brush but I think my detangling brush will still work, I just have to work in smaller sections. But I absolutely love this technique. I also don't own heat protectant so I'll still have to maintain tension method with the dryer a couple inches for my hair. Currently in a protective style (mini braids) but once I take them down I intend on doing another blowout (did one before protective styling). I feel like I need to have my hair completely stretched out more but I need a fail safe way. I only ever either use threading or tension method. I'll be trying some techniques from this tutorial next time around 🙌🏾
That took less time than I thought it would for her hair length and thickness.
Well you have to remember the time that I took to detangle prior to the blowout so it took me about an hour
@@AfrikanHairGod That’s right. Why did I forget? 😭 God bless you and your hands, chile.
I felt really bad. I work at Supercuts and a client w an even tighter curl pattern than this came in. My blow out came out relatively straight, but still unwanted volume and the roots I couldn’t get to lay :( thanks for the video. I was sad I didn’t know how to do her hair I was sad for the whole rest of the day.
Don't be sad it's a learning experience. As hair stylists we are practitioners in our field and that means that we are always learning with each head of hair we style.
@@AfrikanHairGod thank you that means a lot I’m still new.
What brand of blowdryer is that
I use the tension method however, when I'm pulling the hair down I dry out to the roots first. So, I'll pull the hair and hit the top of the hair, both, sides and under. Then when I'm done with that I blowdry with the brush from tips to roots. It has worked for me better. I also find that a 9-row brush helps with the tension. Do you have any recommendations on a good paddle brush? the one that I have has bristles that go in every direction and I hate it! Also, If you have recommendations on round brushes I'll take that too! Thanks for the informative video friend!
Porosity is good for conditioning. Ive learn low
Porosity hair needs what for deep conditioning
I have extremely course 4C hair. I Tried this method for the first time in my life, as opposed to the blow dry afro attachment brush (which usually works really well), but I must say this is by far the best method, I had hardly any breakage, in honestly in awe. Thank you so much 😢.
Odd video came out 48mins ago but some of the comments say yall replied 9months ago 🤔🤔🤔
Girl I’m confused too but I’m here 😭
It was a members only video
@@AfrikanHairGod ohh okay I figured it out like a minute in 😭
@@__Selena__ same 🤣
The one thing knowing my porosity helped me with is conditioning and moisturizing my hair. Because it’s low porosity I need to apply heat to open my hair shaft when conditioning. Also my hair can absorb lighter products better.
Narada's TLC to natural hair....priceless.
I live in Florida but will travel to GA for a yearly blow out and trim.
Do you always recommend liquid based leave in when blowing out hair, especially if you're doing a silk press?
Generally you always want to go lighter on products for flat ironing
That’s exactly why hair porosity is important especially for naturals because we need to know how our hair is going to receive certain products. I have wasted hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars trying to find hair products that’s worked for my hair. Once I understood my hair porosity I was able to figure out what products my hair would receive or soak up and what products would just sit on my scalp or roll off. I figured out how to open my hair follicles and what would seal the moisture in. It may not be that important to some people but it definitely saved me a lot of money and time.
This has helped me so much. I never thought to using water &/or a liquid leave in to help better the process
Beautiful hair! Any thoughts on using round brush vs paddle for this hair type? I’m not a fan of the comb attachment either.
Round brushes are not really made for this kind of hair in mind. You can finesse it and make it work but most round brushes are designed to hold and apply heat to the hair. This doubles the amount of heat that you apply to the hair during the blowdry process. This is going to increase your risk of heat damage. Also the type of bristles can put a lot of stress and damage on the ends on the hair. You can see this is not the case with the paddle brush as it just glides thru with ease. This is from someone that was known for my round brushing skills in beauty school and even gave a lesson to my peers on it.
@@AfrikanHairGod thank u❤️
Thank you for the detailed explanations.
Thank you for watching!
How often can use heat on our hair without causing damage?
Well heat is a damaging process and everyones hair partake damage differently based on their hair type and health and condition so there's no real general answer
Your videos are always so informative. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Yeah, that comb attachment I had to stop using for the reasons you said; it really just takes through, and I had to do too many passes. Once I started using a brush, I was like yeah, this is MUCH better.
I have extreme 4C hair and by extreme I mean my hair tangles so easily and my hair has a cottony texture. I just tried your technique and although it came out better than what I usually do. My hair is still stiff and dull. I am literally giving up and I don’t know what I am doing wrong?!
I washed with Olapex 04 and 05! Then followed with a diluted ACV rinse and then rinsed. I didn’t let my hair get too dry, and then I created sections. I applied my favorite leave-in milk and did the whole blow drying method. It still comes out stiff and my ends look horrible. I can feel myself giving up on 4c hair because I am trying so hard lol!
What exactly is it that you are trying so hard to do? There are many things in your process that I don't really understand that could also be contributing to your blow out. I think something that meant people forget is that the health and condition of your hair is going to really be a determinant factor in the results of your blowout
@@AfrikanHairGod My hair is pretty healthy, I actually just cut it into a bob! It grows steadily, but it’s difficult to manage in between protective styles. I would always love to learn new ways to make it even more healthy, but I am honestly not sure what I haven’t tried yet. My main struggle is stretching my hair. No one really knew how to properly do my hair growing up, so I am starting on a fresh “hair knowledge” slate. I go to my stylist and she always does a great job, but when I replicate her technique at home, I don’t get the same results. I am moving for college soon and I won’t be able to go to my normal stylist and I want to be able to wash and blow dry my own hair 😔
@@svnnahtafireyi maybe your should speak with your stylist since you like her results.
Thank you sooo much for this video so informative and there is definitely a difference between a paddle brush and the comb nozzle. I tend to use the comb nozzle when my hand starts to get tired because it is faster but it does not give you the smoothness I desire.
I love your energy!!!! Be blessed as well Sweetie!!!💗💗💗💗Soft Beautiful Blowout!!
My hair is fine but cottony . I need to get my hair blown out and trimmed 😢it’s been three years. You do such an amazing job ❤
Thank you for this ! My 11 yr old has hair exactly this length and this type and she wants her hair blown out this weekend so you just made this easier for me!
IT seems you're holding the dryer by the nozzle at an awkward angle. I've been taught to hold it an easier way, but I you say don't use the comb attachment anyway. Do you have any tips on how to use brushes to blow dry kinky hair? I've tried it on clients and my own hair and the issues you have with the comb attachment I have with brushes. The hair just knots up and tangles again. Is it because of the end needed trimmed or me not detangling well enough before hand?
Awesome job 👏🏾 While watching, I could not help but notice how clean the floor was. I am sorry, I had to mention it.
Oh yes ma'am. We are all about cleanliness and sanitation at our salon. We sweep and clean the floor/station/chair after every client, we only use one value per person and we keep our business clean as possible for our clients.
@@AfrikanHairGod So nice!! And I am sure they appreciate that.😇❤🙌🏽
God sent me to this channel I know this video is old now but I needed this and all the knowledge! I can’t afford to get my hair done & I’ve always wanted to learn to do my OWN hair ❣️
Does anyone know of a good heat protectant for low porosity hair??
Anything lightweight, you don't want anything that is going to make it harder to dry the excess moisture from your hair
Just came across your channel and wished you were here in Jacksonville FL to do my natural hair. Love Your styles.
Love your videos! How do you feel about round brushes for type 4 hair
They put a lot of heat on hair but I suppose it's most about proper technique and application. It's not necessary for all blowouts
@@AfrikanHairGod i see thank you for responding!
Porosity only matters when choosing hair products. I have low porosity and heavy thick creams do nothing but sit on my hair and create flakes. So I use light watery leave ins. Aside from that, porosity doesn't matter.
I really needed this. I have a granddaughter with mixed, extremely thick, and long hair and have been using the comb attachment method but will try the paddle brush method.
I use the comb attachment and using a titanium blowdryer is what works best for me. Less passes and the heat is evenly distributed through the hair.
Thank you. Do you use a paddle brus for short hair too? Which paddle brush do you use? Is it ceramic? Could you link it?
Porosity helps understand how your hair absorbs water. You can spritz water but with low porosity you need heat to open up the cuticles to take it in otherwise it just sits on top of your hair....still remaining dry. It changed the quality of my deep conditioning & oil treatments knowing I need to be under a dryer for longer for all that goodness to get in
No that's actually not true. You don't need heat to absorb water. That's like saying your hair can't get wet without heat. Porosity as everyone knows it on UA-cam has been completely misconstrued.
Yoooo this was too funny😂😂😂 u n tht comb attatchment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Subbed
Been doing hair close to 40 years and I must say I enjoyed you 😂!
I realized you are in the A, thank you so much I’m about to book an appointment
I thoroughly enjoy your commentary, you say the things I think when I do my clients hair and that comb attachment UGH. It has its uses but I prefer the paddle brush. This was a great video.
This video is full of so many gems. I really wish my clients had the time to spend as much energy on knowledge like hairdressers have the time to spend the energy they come in focused on one aspect and don’t even understand it fully and then have all these judgments on their selves, it turns into this whole other thing besides, just trying to give them the hairstyle they want based on the hair they have
I'm so impressed, the first time I've ever subscribed so quickly. I'm learning so much. I have similar thick hair. Thank you.😍😍
Mannnn, I used the comb attachment and it literally looked like I got an extreme haircut. Never again.
It definitely works for some but it ain't for everyone
Next time I blow out my daughter’s hair, I’m definitely trying my denman d38.
Thank you so much. I’ve been needing to blow dry my natural hair out. This was helpful, I have the exact blow dryer.
I love the way you always explain how to take care of natural hair
Is it necessary to do the twists or would it be possible to just go at it level by level with a paddle brush or denman?
Beautiful work.
Also, could you curl it with a round brush after this? Was it thirty minutes with the twists?
Thank you for this video cause I’ve hated blow drying with a comb attach it never smooths the way I want, defo trying this method
Hello.. Do you have a vid on round brushing??
I don't like round brushing on Natural hair. It's too much heat
Love your demonstration of the use of the paddle brush with the dryer and the comb attachment.
Oh yeah, I peeped comb attachments back in '08! While I did love my gold n hot blow dryer, I could not mess with the comb attachment. All that damn work🤣 The concentrator is definitely my favorite.
Comb attachment is terrible.
I can see why they want us to come blow dried…😅
Cuz they lazy
Bc most braiders aren’t licensed to cleanse and if you come with damp hair, there’s no promise that you actually detangled it. But if it’s blown, it’s generally detangled.
I’m surprised as a stylist you don’t know how to use a comb properly to dry the hair. My hair is equally as thick and longer and I prefer the comb. However, I like the conair 1850 dryer and I comb out my hair prior to blow drying. It literally takes me about 20 minutes to do my entire head and it dry and straight. I’m not a stylist but have been doing my hair and others for over 20 years and have grown my hair to waist length. I don’t prefer the dryer you used bc of the awkwardness but have used it with great results and about the same drying time.
@@diaharris8257 congrats! ❤️
I hate blow drying my hair which is why I don't blow dry 95% of the time
Thanks! This was so helpful! My hair is not as long but it dries fast, and is resistant. You showed me many tips!
Thank you so much!
