I was scared that people would take offense to me giving advice on hair that I don't have but I wanted to include everyone because I love all my sisters! Thank you for soothing my fears.
As a hairstylist for the last 20 years, thank you for putting out this video! All your advice is sound and so good for all hair types. I will add that if you have very fun, very thin hair, you’re not necessarily doing something wrong, genetics do play a major role, but if you follow this advice, your hair can be it’s best version. God made you the way he did on purpose ♥️
I am a new subscriber and I have old hair breakage. Can I treat it and eliminate it? I have a lot of gray hair and hair loss, frizz, rough and dry hair, and I have hair gaps, especially in the front of the head.
@user-nn7jz7xg7q yes you can definitely improve the quality of your hair following the advice in this video. You may also want to watch haircare videos from a youtuber called Katherine Sewing who has category 3-4 hair which is prone to being very dry and frizzy. She fixed her damaged hair and it's extremely beautiful and long now. Your hair texture changes a little over time with hormones too, so if your hair is going grey then the texture will be slightly different from how it used to be, but you can still improve it a lot following a more natural and nourishing routine.
In a world of craziness, it is beautiful to see a peaceful, kind person talking about things that are decent. My foster daughter loves your gentle heart too. Blessings, love from Canadaland.
The last part was the best. I’ve personally suffered trying to change my hair when I was young with 0 compliments. The minute I let my natural hair be, rain of compliments were coming! I also learned the hard way to appreciate all the God giving beauty to what we contribute in the world. Being different is beautiful! Some people don’t even have hair to play with! Health is beauty! We should be grateful for every single thing! Love this video!
I love your approach and you’ve reminded me why natural beauty is so truthful and fulfilling! I for years have left my hair untouched, almost no cutting, no color. The allure of the stylish women or women of other eras is enticing, but allowing and accepting what God has given us, and really maintaining it with the upmost care is going to make us feel more relaxed and much more beautiful and it allows the inner beauty to show more I believe! Keep up the good work encouraging women to take care of their bodies hair and souls and bringing this light to all in the process!
I'm in my 50's and have fine hair. I do colour it once a month to cover the grey, I don't go to the hairdressers, I cut it myself when I want to. And I oil it once or twice a week with coconut oil or a store bought alma oil.
Wow, just wanted to comment I watched this one year ago and all of this stuff really works! I have tried to grow my hair waist length long for years and it always took forever and even when it would get there it would just be frizzy and thin at the ends, so I would cut it and try to start again. I finally have gained five thick healthy inches of hair to my waist. Thank you for this video! I haven't been 100% perfect because I have a baby and am tired a lot but it still has worked really well.
I stopped using conventional shampoo 5 months ago and started eating better, my hair has gotten fuller, stronger and longer. I'm still trying to find a routine that works for my hair. I use sage and lavender essential oil with olive oil for my hair about twice a month. It smells amazing and helps my hair so much!This was a very good informative video!
Loved this dear sister, especially the wisdom at the end. I've been growing my hair since 2020. It takes so much patience and self love. I feel like there is a spiritual element to our hair, especially when you look at scripture.
I macerate plants in my apple cider vinegar during a month and half. The plants I use are : rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, neetle and mint. It made a huge difference to add these plants in the vinegar for the health of my scalp and my hair. They help with hair grow, hair loss, dandruff, dermatitis, itching, etc.
Thank you for this channel....I feel so much peace and wisdom when I watch this channel....it's wonderful to find a person who lives the way of Christ, where there is no room for condemnation...thank you
I’m so glad I found you. What a lovely personality you have such a sweet, informative and humble way of being you have. I can feel God coming through and how you speak! As a Mixed woman from the UK with 3c curls it was so lovely to have the affirmation on my natural curls and the reminder to love and care for them just as they are!
I've had such rollercoaster journey with my hair, I used to have type 2C/3A, and very dry hair, I always had split ends, and if I didn't use deep conditioner, or leave-in conditioner, my hair would feel like hay, so I started using a products for curly, dry and damaged hair, I tried a whole bunch of different products, and after years of that, now my hair is super thin and breaky, I get an oily scalp within a day, my curls/waves are completely gone, and it actually got to a point I had to chop my hair off use of how damaged it got from all of the drugstore products, but thanks to you, I am now starting my natural hair care journey and hopefully my hair will find its strength, volume and curls once again!
Cheveux longs, couleur silver naturelle, 57 ans...Je me lave les cheveux tous les 10 jours. Shampooing à l'argile blanche ou rose, dernier rinçage au vinaigre de cidre à la prêle (fait maison). Et c'est tout 🤗🧡 Merci pour vos partages.🙏
In order to not have greasy hear until your wash date I use rosemary water on my scalp every single day, try it, you will love it & be able to extend your wash day 👍🏼
As an owner of a hair growth brand / mask, I thank you for these useful tips. So many people expect to have overnight results, but hair growth just doesn't work that way. Got to have the patience, feed your body the right, nutritious food, using right / gentle products... thank you :) Keep up the good work!
I can vouch for the egg hair masks! In high school I used eggs, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil before showering 3x a week and my hair became so thick and dense I had to get my hair cut every 6 weeks.😂 it also became 6in in circumference when straight and pulled back in a ponytail which was fantastic too.
@@farhanachowdhory8769 I used a full egg. I found that egg whites or yolks alone weren’t the best for my hair after washing. You might have a different experience depending on your hair type.
@@farhanachowdhory8769 it never lingered for me after I shampooed my scalp twice and then conditioned. The mask never sat on my hair longer than 20-30 minutes and I usually cleaned with it on so I wasn’t noticing the hair mask at that time. Tbh I don’t notice the smell anymore but it’s probably because I’ve become accustomed.
So inspiring! I am on the path to natural living. Would you be willing to do a video on your diet, how it influences your health today, how it healed you, as well as how your faith influences your diet (i.e. kosher, etc)? BTW, loving the Tea with Lea podcast!!!
Thank you for educating us! Also I work in a middle school library so I add tea tree and all the oils you recommend in a spray bottle with water. Tea tree is supposed to repel lice! I thought I would share just in case someone didn’t know about it! You are beautiful inside and out! What you are doing for Christ is incredible! ❤ thank you for sharing the long awaited video!
Lea, I've been watching your video's for many years and really enjoy them - thank you so much for taking the time to make them. And thank you very much for this video - I'm so grateful for it! I've been detoxing my hair from harsh and toxic chemicals for a while but was struggling to find a good natural hair care routine for my class c type hair. I started implementing the tips in your video and have had great results immediately - I love it and it is an easy, manageable and affordable hair care routine!❤
I am here in complete envy of your gorgeous hair. I have yet to find scalp care that doesn’t irritate (things will feel AMAZING while it’s sitting on my scalp, but then once my hair dries it’s an incessant itch again). The result is my hair is lackluster and in general no bueno.
Thank you thank you thank you! Loved this! I knew some of what you talked about already but you broke it down into a doable routine. Was looking forward to this. Even the Bible says a woman's hair is her glory.
Love you so much sis and appreciate your content, especially that you mentioned all hair types, as a 4C woman, it's been a life long struggle and slow untraining of my brain to love and appreciate the hair the good Lord gave me which is the polar opposite of your lovely long strands :). Some people might be confused by the term "natural hair" as it's been coined in recent years towards women in the black community in an effort to get more of us to stop chemically straightening our hair or wearing wigs and weaves. You might not have known that, and I totally understand, not offended at all, just wanted to share :) All of this information is beneficial, being 5'10" it would be really unique and awesome too if you did a video with tips for clothing and other things for those of us taller than the average man! LOL!!! God bless you!!!
I love you too sis! I'm so pleased to hear that you are embracing your beautiful God given hair. I truly hope my use of the term natural routine doesn't offend anyone. 🙄 so many ways to offend other these days and I certainly wouldn't want to hurt anyone. Thank you so much for watching 💜💛
I like your comment lol. I like the way you think. And it's lovely to hear that you have embraced your curls and kinks! I have a thick bush of 3C curls and it was a struggle growing up. It just wasn't normal to embrace the hair. But I'm also so happy to say that I love my hair now.
@@camfuentes986you could not be more wrong. She is one of the most kindest and most Godly woman I have seen online. She is my sister in the Lord. Please give her grace because she is so true and heartfelt with her intentions.
Love this video. I wish more people had this information. You did a beautiful job explaining. Diet is so important! We also eat a more ancestral nourishing tradition diet. I do the castile soap for me and my 3 girls and the ACV rinse and then each of the girls get to pick their essential oil after the hair is air dried...usually honeysuckle,lavender, or another floral scent.This is also very cost effective we all have very long hair so buying any type of premade shampoo and conditioner could get rather expensive. Natural products are much more effective and you need much less. I love that you gave knowledge of all hair types not just yours. Your a so very gracious with your words. Our bodies are a temple and a very precious gift. Thanks for the beautiful video.
Katie B I add a little bit of jojoba oil to the palm of my hand and a few drops of the essential oil to that and gently mix by rubbing my palms together then straight to the strands of the hair.
You did an amazing job walking through the importance of nutrition, hair types, and product knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. 🙂
I meant to also ask would you consider doing a video about what natural makeup( if you use any) you may use/ skin care routine? Your skin is radiant and this hair video was so informative!❤
Frankincense has been used widely in arabian culture for health and wellbeing benefits including hair and skin. In arabic its called “lobaan”. Thanks for this in depth video, i have almost knee length hair and the past few years its gotten so thin due to stress and neglect. You’ve definitely encouraged me to get back into taking care of my hair and using better cleaner products. 💓
Reminds me of a Middle Eastern woman I saw at a grocery store growing up. She had a very thick braid that reached her ankles. As a little girl, I was simply FASCINATED by it.
Alaffia is a really cleansing and GENTLE brand that is basically the same as castille somehow it doesnt damage my hair though. Alaffia is excellent AND costs the same as pantene. around 30-50 cents an ounce! ALSO My 32 oz bottle of alaffia lasted almost 6 months!!! I have a bob though and I cleanse my hair twice in the shower but only wash every 3rd day. So wash one day unwashed for two days then wash again. I also started oiling my hair too and my hair is exceptionally healthy it's never been this healthy.
Thank you so much for this holistic approach sister. I'm in the 4 range and found all these points applicable to my journey to natural, healthy and length retention. I'm going to type some notes.😅
I researched a lot about Madam C.J. Walker and she was one of the first African-American women to create natural, hair-care products for Black women with curly, thick or hard to manage hair. I suggest looking into her products. Thanks for sharing, I love your videos
Hi Lea, this video makes me happy for what is to come. I have been working a job for the last seven years. My husband has been asking me to quit for years. God got a hold of my heart on this matter and clearly showed me I was disobeying (praise God!). My husband made the final decision to call me home (he said he’s never wanted his wife to work and he didn’t take a wife to make her work) and my last week of work is next week. My husband wants me to spend the first many months on my self and spiritual care. I have been wanting to adopt a natural hair care routine for a long time and I was always exhausted coming home from work so I didn’t have the energy to try something new. I’m really excited to try this routine after my job ends next week. I agree with what you said about us needing to get back to a more natural, God created, historical way of eating and living. We are a very sick people group because of all of the toxins.
I love all of these. But also one maybe no one’s thought of lol. I prayed and ask the lord if I could have long hair. That if it was within his will I would like mine to grow faster. And after that it grew down past my back in a short amount of time.
Just a note on the formaldehyde that I found super interesting. I am taking the Master Herbalist Course from School of Natural Healing- in one of the radio show videos that they had us listen to David Christopher talked about how a Mortician was talking about how they have to use less formaldehyde now then when he began his career 40+ years earlier (this was recorded in the early 2000s) and he was contributing it to the amount of formaldehyde in all the stuff people use and take. I just found that really interesting and sad. Anyways- thanks for the video, one of my goals this year is to completely adapt a natural hair care routine. I already go 7 days between washings but I have a lot of scalp issues and had to transition back to using a shampoo and conditioner (as natural as I could get) but now I realize I was skipping all the oils- I was just washing was castile soap and rinsing with AVC- Im going to add in all the oils and hopefully that will help with the scalp issues. Anyways blessings and Shalom to you!
This is so encouraging. I shaved my head a couple years back, and now I'm trying to get back to where I need to be as a Christian woman. Hair and all. It's just below my shoulders now, but a little thin and getting dry. This video is right on time.
Same 😢 shaved one side of my hair and kept it short but now am back to getting my Pocahontas hair that my husband loves. Glad I’m not the only one who regrets that time in their life. God is great! 🙏
The women that people consider to be the very most Christian - nuns - actually have most of their heads shaved! Just the little front of their hair that peeks out of the head cover is allowed to be longer. This is to avoid vanity, so I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that your shaved head could be considered just as Christian. Personally, my desire to transition into more natural lifestyle comes as a way to get away from much of what religion taught me. Crazy how different journeys can get you to the same destination!
@@hayleym1012 We seem to be on mirror paths. Trying to find out what I actually think about everything now instead of echoes of what I was told to believe.
This is the first time i have seen anyone in the same boat as me! About 5 years ago, i had ribcage length hair that i had seriously put through the wringer with frequent hair dye, harsh chemicals, and heat tools. It was looking really bad, and i had only just realized it after coming out of a depression funk when my two babies were small. Anyways, i decided to shave the back and sides of my head and chopped the rest to chin length...after a year or two of that style, i simply shaved my head bald. I was exhuasted and couldnt keep up with any self care at the time. Dark place! Well, my hair has been growing out since then, about 4 or 4 1/2 years, and its nearly waist length! My husband os happy to have my long hair back and im learning to appreciate my hair, and care for it naturally. It used to be a type of art for for me, but ive realized that God already created art with my natural hair just the way He made it. Also in recent years, with the LBGTQXYZ nonsense going on and getting more prevalent, i dont want to be lumped into a certain group of people...like it or not, people make assumptions about everyone they see at even a first glance. One day i was at walmart looking for a vitamin, and this maybe 16 or 17 yo kid comes up to me and says "hey, you look pretty chill, will you buy me some cigs?" 🫣 as a conservative bible-believeing and church-going middle aged mom of two, that was like a slap in the face wake up call! I want to glorify my Creator in all things, including my appearence and how i carry myself. And so i made some decisions and have changed how i dress, my hair, wesr no make up anymore, which my skin is happy about and getting ready to go anywhere is so much better. Sorry, that was a long comment. I was just excited to find someone out there with similar convictions as me!
Thank you so much for being an encouraging teacher, as well as a minister to the feminine soul. I get frustrated and disappointed with my hair and resort back to commercial haircare but you gave me fresh appreciation and love for my hair and health to try again. Not only for my sake, but for my daughter's. Blessings in the LORD!❤
What great advice. I too have very long hair and love keeping it simple and natural. I love like minded content. Would you please consider doing a makeup/beauty regimen. Thanks so much. ❤Blessings.
Looking at your hair now as opposed to the beginning of your time as philia ministries is astonishing. Your hair is so lush. It was beautiful then but your hair is so thick and long!!!
Thank you for emphasizing the nutritional aspects of hair care. I couldn’t agree more that what’s happening inside is the most important thing. It’s great to hear people talking about that.
Thank you so much for this! After I had my 8th baby, terrible things happens to my hair and skin. Dry brittle, falling out, thin and frizzy. I had hair like yours ( straighter though) so it was a devastating blow to my emotional state. And it’s impossible to find good advice on clean effective hair care. Everywhere I looked and everyone I spoke with just suggested chemicals. Thank goodness I knew better. I cannot stomach organ meats so I started taking grass fed organ meat supplements, and I believe they helped quite a bit. But the process is a slow one. I really, really appreciated all this Information. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.
It took me 2 years to go shampoo free. It was a horrible journey. I was just so fed-up with the constant washing. My hair never seemed to look good for more than half a day. And eventually ALL shampoos caused sores on my scalp. I now only wash my hair once a week (on occasion I leave it longer). NEVER use any kind of shampoo anymore. I found an old-fashioned kind of basic glycerine soap bar. That's all I use. No more problems. My daughter is 12. I luckily never started washing her hair with (adult) shampoos. I did use some gentle baby shampoos when she was younger. Now we just wash with this soap once in a while, otherwise just water. She's never had any oily hair or sores etc. Her hair grows super strong and long.
That was so helpful ❤ I really resonate with the self healing part. That accepting your hair texture/color etc is really inner work. Thank you for taking time to share your routine with us ☺️
My goodness Lea your hair as grown since I last seen your seen your video, reason for that is my husband die and I have cancer having one year of strong Chemotherapy, thanks to GOD through YESHUA I am free of cancer now I am back with you dear sister you have come a long way in the LORD much stronger in your faith keep going forward in the LORD blessing to you and your husband.
Thank you so much for this, Lea! It came right on time, what a coincidence. I really needed this. My hair started to break or fall and I'm in need of some strength. Not sure what caused it yet, but God willing I will soon. My hair is very oily and I barely use any product, sometimes I would skip conditioner on my ends all together, but I think that was not a good idea. I used to do homemade hair treatments every other week with olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil and added either honey or and egg, and all of a sudden I just stopped doing it all together. This video was so great! I prayed to God to teach me and guide me on what to eat and how to take care of my hair. Thank you, Lea. I believe this was the Holy Spirit. ❤God bless you.🤗
Very true about most people in the 4 range going long periods without washing, but nowadays, most of us have started weekly or biweekly washing as we noticed it contributes alot to hair and scalp heath
Thank you for your video, it was so encouraging! I watched it at least 3x!! Loved what you said about what's inside will come out, and about the way we eat affecting our health and looks and inflammation playing a part as well! 💙
Glad I caught this! Since I’ve been in the mountains of TN I’ve stopped using public water. We collect rain water and use sediment filters on our shower. I have very long thick wavy hair and used to wash every 3 days plus using ALOT of conditioner! I’ve cut out the conditioner, and use a seaweed and essential oil natural shampoo. If I need any oil treatment I use a organic Greek oil blend and just comb a tiny bit into mid shaft and to my tips. I now only wash my hair every 3-4 weeks. I find that if I have to use public water my hair will need washing sooner! Crazy isn’t it! I try to sleep in a braid as often as possible and sleep on a satin pillowcase which helps immensely with any tangles.
Thank you so much for doing this. I need to take notes! Lol! So good and true about nourishing the inside. My journey is ongoing to better the vessel God has given me, and so I thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom and experience. One step at a time.❤
I too have been on a journey to healthier hair. My mom would never let me have long hair because it was so curly she couldn’t do anything with it. I’m 63 now and it is down to my hips but very dry, very fine and fly-away. Thank you for sharing your routine. It gives me some direction to move toward. Blessings.
I am so happy you put this video out! I'm also on the journey and have the same hair type as you. Normally I do no-poo method using chickpea flour, but in the winter my hair has been so dry and literally breaking off recently. I'm learning more about hard water and thinking this might be the problem, since we moved somewhat recently and have never had the problem before. I love the oil prewash routine you do, and I am going to be trying it. I feel like it really will make a good difference. Thank you so much!
Its like all of us are on a hair journey this year! Thank you for such a great tutorial along with some great tips and tricks and products you recommended! I am definitely going to start trying some of this out for myself😍
I am so glad you have a hair care routine that is budget friendly. I really want to do this, but I work in an office so the transition period may be a challenge but I am really wanting to do this so I"m hoping to find a strategy that will work with my busy out-in-the world life style.
Thank you Lea, I enjoyed this video. I use rose water on my skin everyday, didn’t know I could use it on my hair. I love my all natural shampoo bar but I’ve never done the oil soak first. Going to have to give it a whirl. Thank you again!
Thank you Lea. Last year my husband and I got cvid. He is a walking miracle was on vent for 5 and a half weeks, lost his colon and gall bladder. Praise Abba he is still here. The reason for my comment is that I lost almost all my long hair. I have fine hair to begin with but it was so thin you can see through it. I now have patches of inch long hairs coming in!! Praise Abba for His mercy. Thank you for sharing your hair care routine. I have been looking for gentler products, thank you for sharing!! May Abba God bless you🙏🙏❤
Sending love and prayers to you. My friend got covid and lost a lot of hair too. She grew it back using onion shampoo! It really works. You could also try an onion rinse or using onion juice as a pre-poo if you can't find onion shampoo.
Hello, I really enjoyed this video although I like all the others too, but what I would like is that you talk more in detail about food, your food, cook healthy, with what we have, a bit like in the past, without all these industrial products, especially since now in France they want to force us to eat insects despite the resulting allergies and cancer. I see you preparing meals in the videos but I would love ideas, advice, recipes. could you do this? a list of products you use, how you shop, what staples you always have, etc. Thanks in advance for those tips
I have scalp psoriasis the longest I can go is 3-4 days max. I’ve also found that the oils aren’t for me. Recently tried rosemary water home made is a great leave in and detangler.
@@sarahb3907 from my experience, you have to wash your hair with filtered water. Or get a soft water system installed (which is a huge undertaking). Gotta ask yourself what it’s worth, I guess. I use Avalon Organics brand for the past 2 years. Seems to do well.
I ran into the same issue and goats milk soap is a much better alternative. My hair is quite curly and it gets all the excess grease out while still not over stripping it.
Started from this video, and this channel has became my favourite. Absolutely in love with the content and you, and the embracing diversity you are creating. ❤️
Love the videos about eating better. Would love a video on herbs medicinally and vitamins you take. At the moment my health is not good and trying to get healthier.
Thank you. I am planning to incorporate some of your wide and wonderful suggestions. I have type 1b hair. Lately I’ve noticed substantial fall out and thinning and would appreciate a video on how to stimulate growth. I have decided to stop colouring and am taking biotin and collagen rich broth or powder. Several times a day I spritz with a diy mix of colloidal silver which I make, rosemary and peppermint essential oils.
Thank you so much, this is encouraging me. I changed about two years ago first to natural shampoos and today I use my homemade bars in wich are only good ingredients and only a few of them. Same for conditioner and sometimes oils, how I learnt it from my mother and her grandpa. My hair is very thin but fortunately quiet a lot of. Now I try to have it long again like when I was young. It will take time. And I try to eat healthy and wholegrain and organic as often as possible. Makes me feel good and balanced. Sometimes I like wearing headcovers. I love your beautiful long, shiny and wavey hair, your modest cloth and your path with the lord.
Thank you for sharing! Learned a lot🤍 I’m already on a path to coming back to more natural routines in all parts of my life, and I can see so much improvements in health, glow, vitality and energy! Some of these tips I didn’t know and will definitely try out❣️
I find that taller gals such as urself look great with longer hair. It is such a crown! Women of a certain age n vertically challenged (as me) look best in shoulder length. This is all opinion of course...
This was so helpful! I’m transitioning into more holistic products (cleaning, beauty, and body care) and although Im much improved, it still is very much a process. I have quite curly hair but can’t go very long without washing otherwise I have lots of fallout. I suspect it may be due to the creams and mousses I use on it so Im just trying to use them up and then invest in more natural products to see if that makes a difference. It’s kind of fun to see what works and try new things out! Most of the time, Ive found the simpler, the more effective.
I use Aloe Vera gel as a “gel” or mouse to fix my hair. It works great . Holds my style all day. No hair spray. If I’m braiding or platting my hair ,I dampen my hair first then apply the Aloe Vera gel . I do the same if I’m curling my hair with heatless cloth . Love how soft my hair is after I take it down. It also leaves no white flakes like harsh chemicals do.
Im soo glad I stumbled upon your video while looking for natural haircare. --And to find out youre a Christian and quoted Colossians in your description is even better!! Just gained a follower 😍
Your advice is sound! I also love a super clean brand called 100% Pure or any brand of simple, natural olive oil soap bar (a/k/a nablusi soap, an ancient, healing, traditional, very cleansing, cost-effective soap that does not hurt the hair or scalp at all)!

I have 4C hair type! May seem weird but it warms my heart that you touched on all the types and textures.
I was scared that people would take offense to me giving advice on hair that I don't have but I wanted to include everyone because I love all my sisters! Thank you for soothing my fears.
As a woman with 4C hair, I too felt happy to be seen, valued and included in the conversation. Thank you for being inclusive! It means a lot!
Watching this as I twist my 4c hair type, after anointing it with oil cause of the dryness of this coils
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain beautiful
Thank you!
As a hairstylist for the last 20 years, thank you for putting out this video! All your advice is sound and so good for all hair types. I will add that if you have very fun, very thin hair, you’re not necessarily doing something wrong, genetics do play a major role, but if you follow this advice, your hair can be it’s best version.
God made you the way he did on purpose ♥️
Thank you so much for the confirmation and great thoughts!
Fine, slavic hair is divine. I'm never looking to do anything except stop breakage as it grows longer. Embrace the beauty :D
I am a new subscriber and I have old hair breakage. Can I treat it and eliminate it? I have a lot of gray hair and hair loss, frizz, rough and dry hair, and I have hair gaps, especially in the front of the head.
@user-nn7jz7xg7q yes you can definitely improve the quality of your hair following the advice in this video. You may also want to watch haircare videos from a youtuber called Katherine Sewing who has category 3-4 hair which is prone to being very dry and frizzy. She fixed her damaged hair and it's extremely beautiful and long now. Your hair texture changes a little over time with hormones too, so if your hair is going grey then the texture will be slightly different from how it used to be, but you can still improve it a lot following a more natural and nourishing routine.
Ah! "The precious brain is under your hair." Great insight!
All of your hair care advice in this video is SO helpful!❤
In a world of craziness, it is beautiful to see a peaceful, kind person talking about things that are decent. My foster daughter loves your gentle heart too. Blessings, love from Canadaland.
The last part was the best. I’ve personally suffered trying to change my hair when I was young with 0 compliments. The minute I let my natural hair be, rain of compliments were coming! I also learned the hard way to appreciate all the God giving beauty to what we contribute in the world. Being different is beautiful! Some people don’t even have hair to play with! Health is beauty! We should be grateful for every single thing! Love this video!
So glad you enjoyed it and that you are embracing your God given beauty ❤️
You’re such a sweet and humble, godly woman. We are honored to listen. Such a joy too Listen and learn from you❤️❤️❤️
That's so sweet, thank you 😊 🌺
I love your approach and you’ve reminded me why natural beauty is so truthful and fulfilling! I for years have left my hair untouched, almost no cutting, no color. The allure of the stylish women or women of other eras is enticing, but allowing and accepting what God has given us, and really maintaining it with the upmost care is going to make us feel more relaxed and much more beautiful and it allows the inner beauty to show more I believe! Keep up the good work encouraging women to take care of their bodies hair and souls and bringing this light to all in the process!
I'm in my 50's and have fine hair. I do colour it once a month to cover the grey, I don't go to the hairdressers, I cut it myself when I want to. And I oil it once or twice a week with coconut oil or a store bought alma oil.
Wow, just wanted to comment I watched this one year ago and all of this stuff really works!
I have tried to grow my hair waist length long for years and it always took forever and even when it would get there it would just be frizzy and thin at the ends, so I would cut it and try to start again.
I finally have gained five thick healthy inches of hair to my waist. Thank you for this video!
I haven't been 100% perfect because I have a baby and am tired a lot but it still has worked really well.
@@teagranola well, you go girl! Thank you so much for your testimony 💜 get those postpartum adrenal cocktails in and some beef organs and keep at it 💪
I stopped using conventional shampoo 5 months ago and started eating better, my hair has gotten fuller, stronger and longer. I'm still trying to find a routine that works for my hair. I use sage and lavender essential oil with olive oil for my hair about twice a month. It smells amazing and helps my hair so much!This was a very good informative video!
Then what do u use as a shampoo to wash ur hair?
Following! Would love to know how you replaced the shampoo and how you apply the sage mixture
@@ashwinidombale7158 what shampoo do you use then and how do you mix the oil with lavender
Loved this dear sister, especially the wisdom at the end. I've been growing my hair since 2020. It takes so much patience and self love. I feel like there is a spiritual element to our hair, especially when you look at scripture.
Do you trim your hair at all? Or just let it grow without any trimming?
@@katieb9312 I typically trim it 2x a year
Yesssss! Nutrition is SOOOOO important when talking about hair, skin, and nails. It's a barometer for gut health and nutrient deficiencies
"...healing relationships with ourselves." That hit home with me. Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us 🙂
I macerate plants in my apple cider vinegar during a month and half.
The plants I use are : rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, neetle and mint.
It made a huge difference to add these plants in the vinegar for the health of my scalp and my hair. They help with hair grow, hair loss, dandruff, dermatitis, itching, etc.
Interesting. I should try this. I am always looking to level up my routine.
do you use this after you shampoo your hair?
Thank you for this channel....I feel so much peace and wisdom when I watch this channel....it's wonderful to find a person who lives the way of Christ, where there is no room for condemnation...thank you
I’m so glad I found you. What a lovely personality you have such a sweet, informative and humble way of being you have. I can feel God coming through and how you speak! As a Mixed woman from the UK with 3c curls it was so lovely to have the affirmation on my natural curls and the reminder to love and care for them just as they are!
I'm so glad to have you. I'm sure you have just beautiful hair :) Thank you so much for watching.
I've had such rollercoaster journey with my hair, I used to have type 2C/3A, and very dry hair, I always had split ends, and if I didn't use deep conditioner, or leave-in conditioner, my hair would feel like hay, so I started using a products for curly, dry and damaged hair, I tried a whole bunch of different products, and after years of that, now my hair is super thin and breaky, I get an oily scalp within a day, my curls/waves are completely gone, and it actually got to a point I had to chop my hair off use of how damaged it got from all of the drugstore products, but thanks to you, I am now starting my natural hair care journey and hopefully my hair will find its strength, volume and curls once again!
I hope that you are still on that journey and seeing the beautiful results. God bless 🎉
I’m a hairdresser and have been for 30 years. You did a great job! ❤
Thank you 😊
I have hair loss and sometimes feels so discouraging, I just want to give up, Thank you for the encouraging words.
Cheveux longs, couleur silver naturelle, 57 ans...Je me lave les cheveux tous les 10 jours. Shampooing à l'argile blanche ou rose, dernier rinçage au vinaigre de cidre à la prêle (fait maison). Et c'est tout 🤗🧡
Merci pour vos partages.🙏
In order to not have greasy hear until your wash date I use rosemary water on my scalp every single day, try it, you will love it & be able to extend your wash day 👍🏼
What’s rosemary water ?
can you please elaborate it!!!like how you use it and all!
As an owner of a hair growth brand / mask, I thank you for these useful tips. So many people expect to have overnight results, but hair growth just doesn't work that way. Got to have the patience, feed your body the right, nutritious food, using right / gentle products... thank you :) Keep up the good work!
I can vouch for the egg hair masks! In high school I used eggs, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil before showering 3x a week and my hair became so thick and dense I had to get my hair cut every 6 weeks.😂 it also became 6in in circumference when straight and pulled back in a ponytail which was fantastic too.
Only egg white or full egg?
@@farhanachowdhory8769 I used a full egg. I found that egg whites or yolks alone weren’t the best for my hair after washing. You might have a different experience depending on your hair type.
@@piercedlove8955 How do you make the smell go? 😪
@@farhanachowdhory8769 it never lingered for me after I shampooed my scalp twice and then conditioned. The mask never sat on my hair longer than 20-30 minutes and I usually cleaned with it on so I wasn’t noticing the hair mask at that time. Tbh I don’t notice the smell anymore but it’s probably because I’ve become accustomed.
@@piercedlove8955how long did you use before saw results? 😮
So inspiring! I am on the path to natural living. Would you be willing to do a video on your diet, how it influences your health today, how it healed you, as well as how your faith influences your diet (i.e. kosher, etc)? BTW, loving the Tea with Lea podcast!!!
So glad you are enjoying it :) Request noted.
I would love a video on that too ♡
Same here!
Yes please
it makes me so happy to see you talking about diet in a hair care routine! so important and not spoken about near enough
Thank you for educating us! Also I work in a middle school library so I add tea tree and all the oils you recommend in a spray bottle with water. Tea tree is supposed to repel lice! I thought I would share just in case someone didn’t know about it! You are beautiful inside and out! What you are doing for Christ is incredible! ❤ thank you for sharing the long awaited video!
I had to train my hair. When I was a teenager , I was naturally oily . I washed my hair everyday and now I can wash my hair once a week ❤
This has to be the absolute best, clear and comprehensive at the same time- hair care video 🙌🏻😍
Thank you so much 💓 I appreciate you watching
It's fun to strive for natural ways of caring for ourselves. Thank you!
Lea, I've been watching your video's for many years and really enjoy them - thank you so much for taking the time to make them. And thank you very much for this video - I'm so grateful for it! I've been detoxing my hair from harsh and toxic chemicals for a while but was struggling to find a good natural hair care routine for my class c type hair. I started implementing the tips in your video and have had great results immediately - I love it and it is an easy, manageable and affordable hair care routine!❤
I am so so glad to hear this! Thank you so much for sharing
I am here in complete envy of your gorgeous hair. I have yet to find scalp care that doesn’t irritate (things will feel AMAZING while it’s sitting on my scalp, but then once my hair dries it’s an incessant itch again). The result is my hair is lackluster and in general no bueno.
Thank you thank you thank you! Loved this! I knew some of what you talked about already but you broke it down into a doable routine. Was looking forward to this. Even the Bible says a woman's hair is her glory.
Love you so much sis and appreciate your content, especially that you mentioned all hair types, as a 4C woman, it's been a life long struggle and slow untraining of my brain to love and appreciate the hair the good Lord gave me which is the polar opposite of your lovely long strands :). Some people might be confused by the term "natural hair" as it's been coined in recent years towards women in the black community in an effort to get more of us to stop chemically straightening our hair or wearing wigs and weaves. You might not have known that, and I totally understand, not offended at all, just wanted to share :) All of this information is beneficial, being 5'10" it would be really unique and awesome too if you did a video with tips for clothing and other things for those of us taller than the average man! LOL!!! God bless you!!!
I love you too sis! I'm so pleased to hear that you are embracing your beautiful God given hair. I truly hope my use of the term natural routine doesn't offend anyone. 🙄 so many ways to offend other these days and I certainly wouldn't want to hurt anyone. Thank you so much for watching 💜💛
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain No I don't think so they just might be a little surprised ☺️, it's all good.
I like your comment lol. I like the way you think. And it's lovely to hear that you have embraced your curls and kinks! I have a thick bush of 3C curls and it was a struggle growing up. It just wasn't normal to embrace the hair. But I'm also so happy to say that I love my hair now.
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain from the eyeball emoji you used it doesn't seem like you actually care whether you're offending a community or not
@@camfuentes986you could not be more wrong. She is one of the most kindest and most Godly woman I have seen online. She is my sister in the Lord. Please give her grace because she is so true and heartfelt with her intentions.
I’m coming back a month later to finish watching and I’m so happy this video has taken off for you!! 🎉❤
Love this video. I wish more people had this information. You did a beautiful job explaining. Diet is so important! We also eat a more ancestral nourishing tradition diet. I do the castile soap for me and my 3 girls and the ACV rinse and then each of the girls get to pick their essential oil after the hair is air dried...usually honeysuckle,lavender, or another floral scent.This is also very cost effective we all have very long hair so buying any type of premade shampoo and conditioner could get rather expensive. Natural products are much more effective and you need much less. I love that you gave knowledge of all hair types not just yours. Your a so very gracious with your words. Our bodies are a temple and a very precious gift. Thanks for the beautiful video.
How do you apply the essential oil after your hair is air dryer? Spray?
Katie B I add a little bit of jojoba oil to the palm of my hand and a few drops of the essential oil to that and gently mix by rubbing my palms together then straight to the strands of the hair.
You did an amazing job walking through the importance of nutrition, hair types, and product knowledge. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. 🙂
You are so welcome. Thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch 💝
Girl, I love your cottage core style. That is mine too fr. Feeling your vibe so hard rn
I meant to also ask would you consider doing a video about what natural makeup( if you use any) you may use/ skin care routine? Your skin is radiant and this hair video was so informative!❤
I've been trying to grow my hair healthily and educate myself more! Thank you!
Frankincense has been used widely in arabian culture for health and wellbeing benefits including hair and skin. In arabic its called “lobaan”.
Thanks for this in depth video, i have almost knee length hair and the past few years its gotten so thin due to stress and neglect. You’ve definitely encouraged me to get back into taking care of my hair and using better cleaner products. 💓
Reminds me of a Middle Eastern woman I saw at a grocery store growing up. She had a very thick braid that reached her ankles. As a little girl, I was simply FASCINATED by it.
Alaffia is a really cleansing and GENTLE brand that is basically the same as castille somehow it doesnt damage my hair though. Alaffia is excellent AND costs the same as pantene. around 30-50 cents an ounce! ALSO My 32 oz bottle of alaffia lasted almost 6 months!!! I have a bob though and I cleanse my hair twice in the shower but only wash every 3rd day. So wash one day unwashed for two days then wash again. I also started oiling my hair too and my hair is exceptionally healthy it's never been this healthy.
How much I just learned is amazing. Thank You!
Thank you sis for chiming in on all hair types. You really seem to care about people. Blessings.
Thank you so much for this holistic approach sister. I'm in the 4 range and found all these points applicable to my journey to natural, healthy and length retention. I'm going to type some notes.😅
Thank you Lee … I’m more In -love with slow living everytime I watch your videos. Stay blessed.
I researched a lot about Madam C.J. Walker and she was one of the first African-American women to create natural, hair-care products for Black women with curly, thick or hard to manage hair. I suggest looking into her products. Thanks for sharing, I love your videos
Wonderful thank you for sharing that 😊
Hi Lea, this video makes me happy for what is to come. I have been working a job for the last seven years. My husband has been asking me to quit for years. God got a hold of my heart on this matter and clearly showed me I was disobeying (praise God!). My husband made the final decision to call me home (he said he’s never wanted his wife to work and he didn’t take a wife to make her work) and my last week of work is next week. My husband wants me to spend the first many months on my self and spiritual care. I have been wanting to adopt a natural hair care routine for a long time and I was always exhausted coming home from work so I didn’t have the energy to try something new. I’m really excited to try this routine after my job ends next week. I agree with what you said about us needing to get back to a more natural, God created, historical way of eating and living. We are a very sick people group because of all of the toxins.
I love all of these. But also one maybe no one’s thought of lol. I prayed and ask the lord if I could have long hair. That if it was within his will I would like mine to grow faster. And after that it grew down past my back in a short amount of time.
I love that!
@@LittleHouseOnTheMountain it’s cool. Sometimes we can forget how he literally says to come to him with everything. Even a request about hair lol
Just a note on the formaldehyde that I found super interesting. I am taking the Master Herbalist Course from School of Natural Healing- in one of the radio show videos that they had us listen to David Christopher talked about how a Mortician was talking about how they have to use less formaldehyde now then when he began his career 40+ years earlier (this was recorded in the early 2000s) and he was contributing it to the amount of formaldehyde in all the stuff people use and take. I just found that really interesting and sad. Anyways- thanks for the video, one of my goals this year is to completely adapt a natural hair care routine. I already go 7 days between washings but I have a lot of scalp issues and had to transition back to using a shampoo and conditioner (as natural as I could get) but now I realize I was skipping all the oils- I was just washing was castile soap and rinsing with AVC- Im going to add in all the oils and hopefully that will help with the scalp issues. Anyways blessings and Shalom to you!
Would be interest to listen to that
This is so encouraging. I shaved my head a couple years back, and now I'm trying to get back to where I need to be as a Christian woman. Hair and all. It's just below my shoulders now, but a little thin and getting dry. This video is right on time.
Same 😢 shaved one side of my hair and kept it short but now am back to getting my Pocahontas hair that my husband loves. Glad I’m not the only one who regrets that time in their life. God is great! 🙏
You've got this!
The women that people consider to be the very most Christian - nuns - actually have most of their heads shaved! Just the little front of their hair that peeks out of the head cover is allowed to be longer. This is to avoid vanity, so I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that your shaved head could be considered just as Christian.
Personally, my desire to transition into more natural lifestyle comes as a way to get away from much of what religion taught me. Crazy how different journeys can get you to the same destination!
@@hayleym1012 We seem to be on mirror paths. Trying to find out what I actually think about everything now instead of echoes of what I was told to believe.
This is the first time i have seen anyone in the same boat as me! About 5 years ago, i had ribcage length hair that i had seriously put through the wringer with frequent hair dye, harsh chemicals, and heat tools. It was looking really bad, and i had only just realized it after coming out of a depression funk when my two babies were small. Anyways, i decided to shave the back and sides of my head and chopped the rest to chin length...after a year or two of that style, i simply shaved my head bald. I was exhuasted and couldnt keep up with any self care at the time. Dark place! Well, my hair has been growing out since then, about 4 or 4 1/2 years, and its nearly waist length! My husband os happy to have my long hair back and im learning to appreciate my hair, and care for it naturally. It used to be a type of art for for me, but ive realized that God already created art with my natural hair just the way He made it. Also in recent years, with the LBGTQXYZ nonsense going on and getting more prevalent, i dont want to be lumped into a certain group of people...like it or not, people make assumptions about everyone they see at even a first glance. One day i was at walmart looking for a vitamin, and this maybe 16 or 17 yo kid comes up to me and says "hey, you look pretty chill, will you buy me some cigs?" 🫣 as a conservative bible-believeing and church-going middle aged mom of two, that was like a slap in the face wake up call! I want to glorify my Creator in all things, including my appearence and how i carry myself. And so i made some decisions and have changed how i dress, my hair, wesr no make up anymore, which my skin is happy about and getting ready to go anywhere is so much better.
Sorry, that was a long comment. I was just excited to find someone out there with similar convictions as me!
Love your approach. Simple is best. You have beautiful hair.
Thank you so much for being an encouraging teacher, as well as a minister to the feminine soul. I get frustrated and disappointed with my hair and resort back to commercial haircare but you gave me fresh appreciation and love for my hair and health to try again. Not only for my sake, but for my daughter's. Blessings in the LORD!❤
Thank you sweet sister 💜 don't give up
What great advice. I too have very long hair and love keeping it simple and natural. I love like minded content. Would you please consider doing a makeup/beauty regimen. Thanks so much. ❤Blessings.
Wow!! What a thick braid 😍
Looking at your hair now as opposed to the beginning of your time as philia ministries is astonishing. Your hair is so lush. It was beautiful then but your hair is so thick and long!!!
It's been quite a journey! Thank you!
Thank you for emphasizing the nutritional aspects of hair care. I couldn’t agree more that what’s happening inside is the most important thing. It’s great to hear people talking about that.
Thank you so much for this! After I had my 8th baby, terrible things happens to my hair and skin. Dry brittle, falling out, thin and frizzy. I had hair like yours ( straighter though) so it was a devastating blow to my emotional state. And it’s impossible to find good advice on clean effective hair care. Everywhere I looked and everyone I spoke with just suggested chemicals. Thank goodness I knew better. I cannot stomach organ meats so I started taking grass fed organ meat supplements, and I believe they helped quite a bit. But the process is a slow one. I really, really appreciated all this Information. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.
Yes! The organ supplements have made me start growing lots of new baby hairs
Also check out Katherine Sewing she's good too!
Good luck!
Which supplements do you take? I can’t stomach organ meats either but would love to reap the benefits of all their nutrients!
@@sarathomas8499 what do you get from Katherine hair care ?
@@Marinas287 I basically follow her routine and my hair is growing
It took me 2 years to go shampoo free. It was a horrible journey. I was just so fed-up with the constant washing. My hair never seemed to look good for more than half a day. And eventually ALL shampoos caused sores on my scalp. I now only wash my hair once a week (on occasion I leave it longer). NEVER use any kind of shampoo anymore. I found an old-fashioned kind of basic glycerine soap bar. That's all I use. No more problems. My daughter is 12. I luckily never started washing her hair with (adult) shampoos. I did use some gentle baby shampoos when she was younger. Now we just wash with this soap once in a while, otherwise just water. She's never had any oily hair or sores etc. Her hair grows super strong and long.
What's the brand of soap?
@@RebeccaLecluse It's a Sunlight Laundry Soap Bar. It works really well. In fact, I just realized it's a kind of castile soap (old fashioned soap).
I loved this video ❤ I’m striving for a more natural life ❤️ you’re an inspiration, I’m glad to see you in these videos where you talk and give advice
That was so helpful ❤ I really resonate with the self healing part. That accepting your hair texture/color etc is really inner work. Thank you for taking time to share your routine with us ☺️
My goodness Lea your hair as grown since I last seen your seen your video, reason for that is my husband die and I have cancer having one year of strong Chemotherapy, thanks to GOD through YESHUA I am free of cancer now I am back with you dear sister you have come a long way in the LORD much stronger in your faith keep going forward in the LORD blessing to you and your husband.
Thank you so much for this, Lea! It came right on time, what a coincidence. I really needed this. My hair started to break or fall and I'm in need of some strength. Not sure what caused it yet, but God willing I will soon. My hair is very oily and I barely use any product, sometimes I would skip conditioner on my ends all together, but I think that was not a good idea. I used to do homemade hair treatments every other week with olive oil, coconut oil or avocado oil and added either honey or and egg, and all of a sudden I just stopped doing it all together. This video was so great! I prayed to God to teach me and guide me on what to eat and how to take care of my hair. Thank you, Lea. I believe this was the Holy Spirit. ❤God bless you.🤗
How did you know i was researching how to grow out my hair?!
Me too lol!
lol! love it. :)
Me three! This video came at the perfect time 😊
Very true about most people in the 4 range going long periods without washing, but nowadays, most of us have started weekly or biweekly washing as we noticed it contributes alot to hair and scalp heath
Thank you for sharing 😊
Your videos are always aesthetic and genuine! Thankyou
I like making my own dry shampoo with arrowroot powder and lavender powder! It soaks up all the oil and smells yummy :)
That is a thick and luscious braid!
Thank you for your video, it was so encouraging! I watched it at least 3x!! Loved what you said about what's inside will come out, and about the way we eat affecting our health and looks and inflammation playing a part as well! 💙
Glad I caught this! Since I’ve been in the mountains of TN I’ve stopped using public water. We collect rain water and use sediment filters on our shower. I have very long thick wavy hair and used to wash every 3 days plus using ALOT of conditioner! I’ve cut out the conditioner, and use a seaweed and essential oil natural shampoo. If I need any oil treatment I use a organic Greek oil blend and just comb a tiny bit into mid shaft and to my tips. I now only wash my hair every 3-4 weeks. I find that if I have to use public water my hair will need washing sooner! Crazy isn’t it! I try to sleep in a braid as often as possible and sleep on a satin pillowcase which helps immensely with any tangles.
Thank you for addressing the transitional period. I'm currently in it & I was questioning myself. You assured me.
Thank you so much for doing this. I need to take notes! Lol! So good and true about nourishing the inside. My journey is ongoing to better the vessel God has given me, and so I thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom and experience. One step at a time.❤
I too have been on a journey to healthier hair. My mom would never let me have long hair because it was so curly she couldn’t do anything with it. I’m 63 now and it is down to my hips but very dry, very fine and fly-away. Thank you for sharing your routine. It gives me some direction to move toward. Blessings.
I am so happy you put this video out! I'm also on the journey and have the same hair type as you. Normally I do no-poo method using chickpea flour, but in the winter my hair has been so dry and literally breaking off recently. I'm learning more about hard water and thinking this might be the problem, since we moved somewhat recently and have never had the problem before. I love the oil prewash routine you do, and I am going to be trying it. I feel like it really will make a good difference. Thank you so much!
Ahh, where have you been all this time? I just came across your Chanel, but I’m grateful! Thanks for all your helpful information.
SO so happy to have you ❤
Its like all of us are on a hair journey this year! Thank you for such a great tutorial along with some great tips and tricks and products you recommended! I am definitely going to start trying some of this out for myself😍
agree!
I speak Arabic, can you explain to me what you are saying?
I am so glad you have a hair care routine that is budget friendly. I really want to do this, but I work in an office so the transition period may be a challenge but I am really wanting to do this so I"m hoping to find a strategy that will work with my busy out-in-the world life style.
Thank you Lea, I enjoyed this video. I use rose water on my skin everyday, didn’t know I could use it on my hair. I love my all natural shampoo bar but I’ve never done the oil soak first. Going to have to give it a whirl. Thank you again!
Thank you Lea. Last year my husband and I got cvid. He is a walking miracle was on vent for 5 and a half weeks, lost his colon and gall bladder. Praise Abba he is still here. The reason for my comment is that I lost almost all my long hair. I have fine hair to begin with but it was so thin you can see through it. I now have patches of inch long hairs coming in!! Praise Abba for His mercy. Thank you for sharing your hair care routine. I have been looking for gentler products, thank you for sharing!! May Abba God bless you🙏🙏❤
I am so sorry to hear about your trying times. I hope you and your husband are doing better now. Lots of love
Thank you so much. We are getting there. We move forward in Yeshua. Love and prayer to you🙏❤
@@nannag5801 I am glad to hear that. 💕
Thank you. Hope you are well.
Sending love and prayers to you. My friend got covid and lost a lot of hair too. She grew it back using onion shampoo! It really works. You could also try an onion rinse or using onion juice as a pre-poo if you can't find onion shampoo.
Hello, I really enjoyed this video although I like all the others too, but what I would like is that you talk more in detail about food, your food, cook healthy, with what we have, a bit like in the past, without all these industrial products, especially since now in France they want to force us to eat insects despite the resulting allergies and cancer. I see you preparing meals in the videos but I would love ideas, advice, recipes. could you do this? a list of products you use, how you shop, what staples you always have, etc. Thanks in advance for those tips
I have scalp psoriasis the longest I can go is 3-4 days max. I’ve also found that the oils aren’t for me. Recently tried rosemary water home made is a great leave in and detangler.
Another thing to consider is the hard vs soft water. I’ve tried Castile soap but because of the hard water, it leaves my hair feeling like straw.
Ugh, yes. Any knowledge on how to manage hair while using hard water??
@@sarahb3907 from my experience, you have to wash your hair with filtered water. Or get a soft water system installed (which is a huge undertaking). Gotta ask yourself what it’s worth, I guess. I use Avalon Organics brand for the past 2 years. Seems to do well.
I ran into the same issue and goats milk soap is a much better alternative. My hair is quite curly and it gets all the excess grease out while still not over stripping it.
Hi. Actually i saw this video when I was searching about hair care. I really appreciate your kindness for sharing this all.. ❤❤ 😊
Thank u for including us 3 and 4 girls
I love all my beautiful sisters 💗
God bless you for growing your magnificent hair.
Great video. Very informative. It's a bit overwhelming, but I will start easy. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽😊
Started from this video, and this channel has became my favourite. Absolutely in love with the content and you, and the embracing diversity you are creating. ❤️
Thank you so much 💓 I'm so happy to have you
Love the videos about eating better. Would love a video on herbs medicinally and vitamins you take. At the moment my health is not good and trying to get healthier.
Thank you. I am planning to incorporate some of your wide and wonderful suggestions.
I have type 1b hair. Lately I’ve noticed substantial fall out and thinning and would appreciate a video on how to stimulate growth. I have decided to stop colouring and am taking biotin and collagen rich broth or powder. Several times a day I spritz with a diy mix of colloidal silver which I make, rosemary and peppermint essential oils.
Thank you so much, this is encouraging me. I changed about two years ago first to natural shampoos and today I use my homemade bars in wich are only good ingredients and only a few of them. Same for conditioner and sometimes oils, how I learnt it from my mother and her grandpa. My hair is very thin but fortunately quiet a lot of. Now I try to have it long again like when I was young. It will take time. And I try to eat healthy and wholegrain and organic as often as possible. Makes me feel good and balanced. Sometimes I like wearing headcovers. I love your beautiful long, shiny and wavey hair, your modest cloth and your path with the lord.
Could you show how you make your shampoo bars?
I usually wash my hair with apple cider vinegar with rosemary, recently I use kefir whey instead of vinegar and it works great as well
Thank you for sharing! Learned a lot🤍 I’m already on a path to coming back to more natural routines in all parts of my life, and I can see so much improvements in health, glow, vitality and energy! Some of these tips I didn’t know and will definitely try out❣️
Can you show us how to do natural curls?
I find that taller gals such as urself look great with longer hair. It is such a crown! Women of a certain age n vertically challenged (as me) look best in shoulder length. This is all opinion of course...
I use water only and essential oils and it’s been a life changer! 🌷
Thank you so much!
Appreciate all the info for my hair without using chemicals. 😊
Love your show!
God bless you!
This was so helpful! I’m transitioning into more holistic products (cleaning, beauty, and body care) and although Im much improved, it still is very much a process. I have quite curly hair but can’t go very long without washing otherwise I have lots of fallout. I suspect it may be due to the creams and mousses I use on it so Im just trying to use them up and then invest in more natural products to see if that makes a difference. It’s kind of fun to see what works and try new things out! Most of the time, Ive found the simpler, the more effective.
I use Aloe Vera gel as a “gel” or mouse to fix my hair. It works great . Holds my style all day.
No hair spray. If I’m braiding or platting my hair ,I dampen my hair first then apply the Aloe Vera gel . I do the same if I’m curling my hair with heatless cloth .
Love how soft my hair is after I take it down.
It also leaves no white flakes like harsh chemicals do.
Finallyyyy!! I’ve been waiting years for you to make this video lol! Thank you so much for making this!
Im soo glad I stumbled upon your video while looking for natural haircare. --And to find out youre a Christian and quoted Colossians in your description is even better!! Just gained a follower 😍
Your advice is sound! I also love a super clean brand called 100% Pure or any brand of simple, natural olive oil soap bar (a/k/a nablusi soap, an ancient, healing, traditional, very cleansing, cost-effective soap that does not hurt the hair or scalp at all)!
Yes! Great products
