      The tips are useful but how do I stretch my natural hair. As it is curly, after washing, it shrinks

  • @JadetheGoober
    @JadetheGoober 3 роки тому +677

    1. Keep a clean healthy scalp
    2. Make sure all of your products give you slip (shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in, etc)
    3. Remove shed hairs with a detangling with a brush.
    4. A good hair care regime for older strand sections.
    5. Understand your hair (porosity and it’s ph friend)
    6. Keep your hair stretched in low manipulation styles with the ends protected.
    7. Avoid chemical use
    8. Avoid direct heat *not mentioned but the sun is also very harsh on the hair and scalp*
    9. Trimming should be at the rate of damage.
    10. Take an iron supplement.

    Little note on iron: 1. Probably goes without saying, but you can overdo iron. Too much iron is just as bad for your health as too little, so if you're going to supplement it, PLEASE make sure you are getting your levels checked regularly by your doctor to make sure it isn't getting to toxic levels.
    2. Iron bisglycinate/ferrous bisglycinate. That's the form of it you should look for in supplements. It's more bio-available and WAY less constipating than other forms.

    I can't get enough of these videos.. She actually knows what she's talking about and I wish back in 2016 I would have found her channel because it would have saved me soo much time and money. Make sure to like this video so that more people are aware of these videos who actually need help with their natural hair because, everyone wants a magic product to fix their hair problems when in reality if more people would simply take the time to learn the science and techniques for natural hair, then you could make virtually any moisturizing natural hair product work.. So many products I almost got rid of and wasted until my technique improved and I revisited some of those same products and they are holy grails now for me.. Sometimes we blame our texture and or products for our hair issues when more often than not its our technique thats causing issues not so much the products. I promise once you learn and master your hair it gets soo much easier.. Good luck on your hair journeys.. 😃

    @hannahmulligan6209 3 роки тому +10

    I am sooo glad you mentioned supplements!!! Other good supplements for hair growth are zinc, copper (2 mg of copper for every 15-25 mg zinc), selenium, evening primrose oil, and the B vitamins (B12, B6, B9 (folic acid), etc.). You will also want to make sure your thyroid hormones are in the optimal range for hair growth. Un-optimal thyroid hormone levels will cause hair loss and thinning. Our thyroid levels naturally decline as we age, you will need to get a good natural path to get on the medication if your levels are low and you are noticing symptoms. Folic acid is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for iron, often times people have an iron deficiency because they have a folate deficiency. Up to 60% of the population has the MTHFR gene for a folate deficiency. Taking iron alone will not solve your iron deficiency without folic acid (in the methyl folate version, don't buy any other version). I can't tell you how annoying it is hearing people say they are taking 300 mg of iron and not seeing a difference, or just seeing a difference at that high of a dose. Iron can be toxic in high doses, I don't think doctors should ever prescribe iron w/out folic acid unless they have checked folate levels beforehand. You may not even need to take iron, just folic acid.

    If you go to donate blood, they will check your iron levels to see if you are eligible to donate. They generally have higher than normal standards for iron levels, being that when you donate, you will be losing some blood. A great way to find out what your iron status is, and to help others if you're able!

    I agree with proper iron intake being important for hair growth but iron can be toxic ☠️ if it isn’t taken carefully. Consult your doctor before taking an iron supplement. Ask for a blood test to check your current iron levels and ask what is a safe/non toxic dosage to take on a regular basis. Love your videos ❤️. Hope I didn’t step on your toes by adding my two cents 🙂

    Lately I have had to go through nearly every week, snipping the ends. Thinking about it the area that I am cutting is the part that would have been growing when I was on cancer treatment so that's probably why I am getting so much breakage now. I am anemic so I am on iron.

    Thank u for telling us to stop trimming our hair 6-8 weeks gurl ... that was instilled in us by hairdressers ... however back then we were using chemicals n heat at the salon so maybe it made sense somewhat ... but to naturals are hardly ( if at all ) are putting heat in their hair ... why are we trimming so much ???? ... thats why i trimmed mines in Jan and decided not to trim again untillJune . Ill clean up the ends when its time but no more of this constant trimming ... its an addiction imo 😂

    What is your stance on biotin btw?

    @katebeedot9052 3 роки тому

    Yes, a no nonsense informative video, thank you. I had tons of long hair but after a very unfortunate visit to a hairdresser it started breaking off from half way up and, horribly, mostly on one side.
    Started re supplementing with iron which I knew about.
    Anyway one question do you believe in Olapex?
