Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair. - Навчання та стиль
1:22 That sounds like race science. Black people and white people are biologically the same. So the differences are due to hair care.
No, black people and white people are not biologically the same. Depending on what region of the world your ancestors are from ... your biological make-up differs. For the most part, we metabolize food differently. The structural and chemical makeup of our hair and skin has differences. I could go on and on. And guess what, its okay that we are different. If we were all the same that would be boaring. It’s time we start embrace and appreciating our differences rather than acting like they don’t exist.
@@GreenBeauty How do black people metabolize food diferently to white people and do you have academic evidence of this?
@@liawatson5789 You really should take some time to self reflect on why it bothers you so much that people have REAL differences base on RACE. White supremacy is a system that was bread from a deep inferiority complex. It keeps whites from seeing others as separate UNIQUE full functioning humans. If you were thinking clearly, our physiological, biological and psychological differences won't bother you at all. You will definitely notice them OBJECTIVELY as opposed to SELFISHLY ignoring and denying them. Have you ever heard of "Asian Flush" or "Lactose Intolerance" among Africans/Black People?
I don't mean to be hard on you but, your ignorance is a choice that comes from privilege. 80% of the world's population is non-white AND CLIMBING. It's 2021, time to wake up.

@@GreenBeauty amen!
My shiny lil face needs to stop hogging all the sebum 😒
@CowboyLakersFan 13 😂😂
PinkLemonSocks right! I don’t have to do the sebum test. My hair is dry and itchy, even brittle after a wash (1 or 2 days later).
Dang I'm opposite: ashy face and oily scalp, lol!
CowboyLakersFan 13 well no. My shampoos are moisturizing shampoos. Like cream of nature.
I got a shiny face too! Maybe that's why they say "black don't crack". I recently found out I have relatively oily scalp too via my water wash challenge. Green beauty's regimen has been working beautifully for me this month. I started over again 2 weeks ago and have 50% coverage and my low porosity hair is sooo moisturized and hydrated without using products or oils aside from the natural dye-free, silicone-free rinse out conditioners I'm using on my ends after my water rinsing. I've basically been relying on my rose water or aloe water and sebum. Sebum is the perfect twisting product because it gives shine, hold and reduces shrinkage.
Who else also love it when she says "Fun fact"...lol
misskelly kumah meeee!
misskelly kumah I wish she didn’t say it like that.
@@HM-lw6yl why though?..lol
misskelly kumah it’s almost like she’s trying to hard
@@HM-lw6yl oh kk
This is honestly the best channel on UA-cam🤩✨ idk how you don’t have 1M subs😩🙌🏾
Natasha Grace cause people like fake things!
I agree; educational, informative and well-researched; leaves out the hype and sticks to the facts; luv it!!!
Natasha Grace YESSSSSSS! No dancing, seeing the closet, and “silly” faces! They drive me nuts! 🙄 She’s right to the point!
Right. For some odd reason I have just learned more about my natural hair from her better than any natural hair youtuber.
100 percent agree! you tube is mainly click bait, product pushing, focusing on what makes money and people click... this channel is about education which I love🙌🏿
I love how this channel doesn't focus on hair only, but instead incorporates hair knowledge with a holistic approach and shows how our hair is deeply intertwined with so many other factors. THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE CHANNEL
Because doctors don't explain why we have a hormone imbalance, they immediately put girls and young women on birth control. I believe this contributed to my hair issues, among other things. I've been off of birth control now for 3 years and trying to "repair" myself from within. This channel is GOLDEN!
Im caucasian and have had horrible hair loss since i was 14. 27 now, and your video has informed me enough to know I can take charge with this naturally. Thank you so much.
I'm so happy to hear the videos are helpful 😘💚💚
I started water only washing my hair and using my sebum as my main product. I do use an oil to keep my ends moisturized. I've been doing this for 2 years and I am seeing such results. I am loving my hair more and more because of how easy it has become to manage and my routine is so simple, I love it. Thanks for your awesome videos, they are really changing people's lives!!
What about if u have hard water?
@@polyiette1701 I have hard water also and it's just a matter of committing as well as, finding what works for you. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work and dedication. I would say that is the hardest part but it's well worth it once you get there.
@alexboy945 wow, thanks for your reply!
her hair is growing faster then the interest on my student loans! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
😄😄
😂😂😂😂
Yes!!! My grandmother always says black don’t crack 😂 Now there is actually scientific reason why. Wait until I show her this. She is going to be happy ✊🏾
You're probably more happier than she would be about this. She knows personally through experience or sight, not because science told her. We need to listen to our elders more.
@@JM-qg9bo yes
her hair is growing like crazy 😜
1:30 ohhhh so that’s why black don’t crack. We produce more wax esters. Dope!
Your videos are so very appreciated! This series you're covering is informative and SO well done! Thank you for ALL you're doing for our community.
Y T she is exceptional!!!!!
Y T Thank you 🙏🏾
Your hair is flourishing😍
Amazing and informative as always! That's why I love this channel!
Excellent informative video. deserved 5 stars. This is the first time I watch a simple scientific video regarding trichology. well prepared work.
The best natural hair channel hands down🙏🏽 thank you so much for your advices and infromation you gave💕
Just the natural hair channel I was looking for, so informative and scientific I like!
Just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. I found out so much information about my scalp & hair issues. I've been to so many doctors & beauticians over the years and no one explained it as clearly as you did. Thank you soo much.
Awesome info! Thanks again for your time, dedication, knowledge and willingness to share. We appreciate you ❤
Thanks for yet another of your brilliant videos. It's well researched and expertly delivered so that all of us can benefit from the science of looking after our afro hair. I have definitely benefited from dampening my hair and massaging my roots to distribute as much sebum as possible down my hair strands. I now find my hair stays moisturised much longer.
This is my second attempt at water only hair washing. I loved it the first time. Loving it the 2nd time too! I am 4 months in, no product. This is a great & informative video. There is so much more to learn as I am coming across small issues here and there, but I'm elated learning about my hair and it's most natural state. ♡
You are a WEALTH of information!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all of this rich knowledge!! This helps me understand the why's behind my hair, instead of just guessing and compairing strands blindly. That process led to a lot of trial and error and, ultimately, a loss of hard won strands. Thank you. Understanding the science behind our hair is absolute key! Blessings to you!!!
This was the most helpful and informative video I’ve seen in regards to sebum. Thank you so much for all the work that went into this 🙏🏽
watching your videos brings me me so much joy! your voice, your time and effort, the scientific reference Ahhhhhh I just love it all! thank you green beauty!!
I really appreciate this information and LOVE the graphics! Thank you for taking the time to dig deep for the science of it all.
Thank you 😊
@@GreenBeauty every second day my hair gets super oily creating dandruff , how do I get rid of that ?
That was very educational. My daughter watched it with me and learned so much. Keep these videos coming. We're going to change the way we maintain out hair.
Your videos are always very helpful especially for a new natural like me, you show the scientific and practical explanations, keep it up🤗

I love being black 😍
Exactly accepting ourselves as I Creator made us.
Seriously, my confidence just went up another notch lol
@@llanneg.v.c545 chillax its literally sebum nobody cares
Excellent research, Doc! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful video! Especially the part about the science of our sebum.
Another great informative video!
i need to stay on track with my sebum.
And Girl!! that fun fact gave me a heart attack. You did that on purpose!😂
Lol ... maybe 😂
This video answered almost all my questions....thanks!!!!
Soooo.... your amazing! I appreciate all the knowledge you have graciously shared. Game Changer for my hair health.
Thank you so much.i thought my hair was dirty when i saw sebum. you are a life saver!
Thank you!👏🏾👏🏾 Another awesome video.
Your hair is the perfect combo, thick and long and healthy
I've been doing that to my hair without realizing what I'm doing. I'm going to continue to massage my hair & scalp
Thanks for sharing I now have a better understanding of Sebum 👍
Your channel is amazing thanks for sharing with us your tips are so helpful 😊
I love this natural hair channel! It deleted the others and only watch the ones she recommends! Fun Fact!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃
I am caucasian and always use a wooden brush with wooden bristles to distribute my sebum. I comb my entire hair from nape to front every night and then braid it and go to sleep. Ever since my hair has really gotten healthy and my ends get less brittle in days. Thanks for the video
Hi! I am now in my 6th year of not using shampoo in my scalp. My hair is fuller and healthier than when I used shampoos and I will never go back to using shampoo. I'm really glad I found your video and that finally someone else knows that sebum is the natural conditioner. That said, my scalp produces masses amounts of sebum and 3 days after my ACV rinse my long hair is so darn greasy it's disturbing to me. So when I watched your highly educational video and it came to minute 5:00 it made sense. Of course, there's gotta be an imbalance in my hormones. So I am in the process of giving my body a chance to get back to a natural state. No shampoo, no sugars, no carbs (anti-migraine treatments), more fitness for my whole body with rowing indoors and that should help greatly and maybe my hormones will calm down. We'll see! Thank you for making this video, the hormonal imbalance is another key puzzle in my search for a healthy body. Have a really good day! Anna
You're so awesome. Thank you for the video. So enriching 😊
This and the other video are super informative. Great Job. I learned a lot and understand better how this works. Even for my hair.
Happy to help 💚
My hair began falling out a lot on one side of my hair (stress and scalp issues). Because of this my hair is not as dense as it once was. I’m also noticing that I produce less sebum on the side of my hair that experienced more shedding. I was also diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis which I think developed because I excessively oiled my scalp for a long period of time. Currently healing myself inside and out, scooping and spreading my own sebum and I’m happy to say that for the first time I haven’t needed to oil my scalp and my scalp is not flaky or severely itchy. Thank you for all you do for us natural girls 💕
I think I have that same condition. How many times do you wash your hair a week?
@@deandrarobinson2156 hey I wash once a week some times every two weeks now. I found a curl specialist and I have to say the 3 step (cleans, condition, style) method has helped a lot. My scalp is 10x better and I don’t shed as much
@@brianarue2431 Do you include leave-ins as well? I'm debating on stopping my leave in conditioner. I do the deep conditioning already. What are your steps on wash days?
Nice video 😊 i have high sebum production. I wash my curly hair every 3 days...what really helped me was teatree oil. I always put 3-6 drops in my hands and mix it together with my shampoo. Then I massage the mixture into my scalp for 2 minutes...its important to use a natural shampoo
Because of you and your channel I’m on my way to full sebum coverage! I’m about 30-40% there. I have high density, long thin/fine strand. My sebum is better than literally any hair product in my 13+ years of being natural! I wish more YT has similar regimens but I’m managing okay experimenting my own ❤️
Sebum is the very best product Im finding too. I'm about 50% covered after 2 weeks
Did your ends become more shiny as a result?
I have to use additional oils and creams on my ends bc they are naturally dry, the lower part of my hair needs more than sebum alone. However my hair is very shiny and detangles easily from the scalp to the lower 1/3 bc of the sebum
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial video on sebum.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great video ...thanks 4 da reminders
Just love your channel! Just ordered your protein treatment
If your ends don't have any sebum yet, just take them and rub them on your scalp until the sebum get further down. Things you can put on your hair without stripping the sebum: Aloe vera and okra gel, fermented rice water for protein, mashed bananas for conditioning and softening the hair. Look at UA-camr "Water only hair wash", that's where I got most of my info.
Interesting.What about flax seed gel?
Flax seed gel is great and wont strip sebum. I find on my hair natural gels just loosens the sebum or thin it out. There is also fenugreek you can make for the hair and scalp that is light feeling but with hold.
@@Brownmahfun ok thank you sis.
It takes only two days before I fail the scratch test lol.
It only takes me one day 😫
It takes me about a week
Hello! Could you please give your opinion on hair serums?
I love how informative your videos are. My hair isn't the best as it should be but I've been following your suggestions and i hope to get better hair😊
Hey! I'm white and my hair has always been kinda wavy but over time, the wave has lost it's curve. My hair has started itching a lot and when I'd scratch my head, there'd be a lot of build-up under my nails. I've gotten more dandruff now but I never knew what sebum even what before you educated me! Sometimes, there's been so much build up, that when I scratch it off, it starts bleeding. my face is also prone to breaking out and I'm just so happy you could educate me on this so i can figure out how to cleanse me scalp a bit, as I've even lost quite a bit of hair
You are so special. I can't wait to try ur products!
Is she coming out with her own line?
@@toniahobbs5074 her line has been out for a while. About 5 years now.
@@alamatablessing8651 what's the name of it?
@@toniahobbs5074 greenbeauty.com
Wow..this is very informative..I did try the scoop n spread test a while back but my scalp was itching like crazy but I didn't stop trying...I made some diy mix consisting of distilled water, glycerin,aloevera gel, peppermint and tea tree oils in a spray bottle and that is what I spray on my roots then scoop n spread then apply my diy Shea butter mix on the rest of the hair.. and I am able to go up to 4 weeks without washing my hair,the itch comes just once in a while..
Video was helpful like always
These videos are amazing!!
I’m glad they’re helpful 💚
@@GreenBeauty do you provide consultations?
Very informative, thank you 😍
Love this video 💕💕
Thank you, happy to help 💚
WHY AM I HERE!?.Cause this is the best info on our hair!...My knowledge FIX!...
I always put the conditioner on my scalp no wonder why my scalp itch so much. Thank you
I literally just do the WOM for washing and moisturizing and i promise i NEVER see build up..but then again i dont use any products in my hair beside edge control and thats rarely. And even still then i do not see any build up😍 and my hair has been growing a good inch per month
Another wonderful video from you Green Beauty. Can you do a video about those that are in between? I think I have low sebum but I’m not sure. Can you also develop your own deep conditioner? Thanks
Your hair is thriving
Yeah I initially thought I had a dry scalp because I’d constantly hear other naturals talk about dry scalp and the need to oil the scalp. Even when I was a girl my mom would oil my scalp and it only lead to flakes. I now know my scalp has a high sebum production I can’t make it past 5-7 days without washing my scalp. By day 5 my scalp starts to itch and it’s ready to be washed. I notice it more when my hair is blown out for the week because I have better acres to my scalp.
This UA-cam channel is so dope
Thank you ☺️
always on point
I get sebum production right after washing my scalp!!
So to be clear, when I scratch my scalp and think my scalp is dirty, it's really sebum? Btw. I do not put conditi ok ner or product on my scalp. If I put anything on it it would be shea butter or oil.
Yes
Such a wonderfully informative video, as always. So what is the best way to increase my sebum as I have None; my scalp and hair are always bone dry?
Thx Hun. 🤗💜
Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️😊
Do you make the animations for your videos? They're so amazing!
I Liked the video before watching it
I would love to explore your plant based diet since moving to Hawaii
Earthly Ram I share some of it on Instagram @GreenBeauty
I do have seburns but it is manageable. I always worried when I experience suburb but thanks for the information
I need a video on how u style your hair or do your chunky twist outs...PLEEEEASSSSE!
Go idea 🙂 Here is a link to a video of how I care for my hair in between wash days - ua-cam.com/video/KQN3LO_r2Sc/v-deo.html
Nd Tnx so much for this video .I learnt a lot
i love your channel and I have been doing the scoop and pull method since I first watched the other video. I got sistelocks two months ago and my scalp some times itches tooooooooo much. Can you do a video on the locking process and the scalp. Honestly I do not use any products.... just water and a gentle clarifying herbal shampoo. Actually my last wash I went back to rinsing with fermented rice water... i think this time I will use the onion water and rice water.... would love to know your thoughts.... 💕
I am so happy to discoverer this exclusive hair channel. U r really a hair guru. U explain so elaborately I am definitely going to b following u. So now my question goes this: is the sebum the dirty stuff on your scalp. Sometimes when I scratch my scalp i finger nails are filled up with black dirt. I usually know it’s too much dandruff build up and dirt. So is that the sebum you are talking about?? If yes then I always have it after a week after washing. How do I stop that.
Luv how you gently slid nail polish & petroleum in there towards the end. 😉 I've been doing less nail polish for a while now. Yet, the skin on my hands & nail cuticles have always been dry like the desert! They are often painful, crack, and bleed. After trying an assortment of oils, creams & even shea butter, I have had to resort to petroleum jelly to care for them... ugh. I know you are the hair guru 💗... but just wondering if you can share any insights about dry skin & nail cuticles.
Thank you so much for all you do for the hair community.
When ever I say something about using your own sebum and not putting all that crap on your scalp, people just think I am crazy. You can use some organic water based things on the scalp and hair and it will not take away your sebum.
Brownmahfun what kinds of water based things? The bottom of my hair doesn’t have any sebum yet and is kind of dry, but I don’t want to accidentally strip the other part of my hair. Thanks!
If your ends don't have any sebum yet, just take them and rub them on your scalp until the sebum get further down. Things you can put on your hair without stripping the sebum: Aloe vera and okra gel, fermented rice water for protein, mashed bananas for conditioning and softening the hair. Look at UA-camr "Water only hair wash", that's where I got most of my info.
You must have your own natural organic product shop by now!
i have sebum and my hair starts to smell like 1-3 days after washing.
Same
Same, I wash my hair every 3-4 days depending on the smell and or if my scalp is dry/itchy.
My hair hasn't been smelling from the sebum, not unpleasant anyway. I noticed when I used to use leave-ins and oils though, my scalp would start to smell "off" after several days to a week, signally time to wash. I think products were throwing off my scalp ph. Since I water rinse, massage and stritch my scalp 3-4 times per week and don't add leave-in products besides aloe water or rose water post rinse, when I scoop and spread I don't get that off smell, and my slight dandruff issue has cleared.
Shakeva Harris Your sebum is. It supposed to have a scent unless the pH of your scalp and/or the pH in your body (most likely from sad gut) is off. The scent or lack of scent of your sebum has a direct correlation with the state of your body. Try doing a juice cleanse or any other fast for 4 to 6 days. After that, switch over to a cleaner Not Processed diet.
@@GreenBeauty thank you for the reply.😭 thanks soooo much you are an underrated channel.
That's why black don't crack! Amazing
Soooo excited for the herb series! Just in time for spring! Any tips on what seeds to get in the mean time before the video comes out?
If you don't mind, can you do a video about wild hair growth oil in the future?
hello can you may look at the science of Aloe vera? i love your work i learn a lot from your channel.thank you
And how professionally made these videos are and how much information you get its
I went to LA for a week and my sebum sky rocketed. My skin was oily. Even after I washed my face, an hour later it was oily again. My haie was SUPER oily and it sucked cause i was protective styling.
But that doesn't happen much in Chicago, where I live. I don't think I've ever experienced that before.
Ayicia Murray maybe because of the heat/sun exposure? And their air may be drier? That’s interesting. Chi town native 💜
Hi. There is a lot of talk about hair needing coffee. Can you do an explanation video on it?
Thanks!
i do the only water wash sometimes & it actually helps alot.. theres a few natural hair influencers that i watched & learned it from them.. like naptural85 i think is 1 of em . I actually did this today in the shower , i do it every couple weeks . 🤷🏽♀️
Hi I’m a new subscriber I would like to know if you know anything about hard water and the effects on natural hair thank for your videos
