A mix of aloe Vera, glycerin and a little leave in does the trick for me. I also use a steamer, but I got the clothes steamer I let it stand and just rotate my head around. Works well and cost less than a fraction of a hair steamer.
I got a machine for about a tenner on Ebay. You do have to know what you are doing. But at least you know further down the line whether it is worth investing in a machine if and when you have the money.
@@dseph7852 I buy the one already pre made from a health food store. To tell you the truth, I don’t smell it at all since it’s mixed with the conditioner. I just smell the conditioner really and if it bother you too much, you could add some essential oil if your choice.

@@MissBrendaLeeGertman Hi Miss Brenda I use Oyin Hair Dew most of the time for my Leave in. I section my short hair and make sure all is covered and this has really been keeping my moisture in my curls. My hair loves this stuff. I hope you try it and it works for you, too.
@@MissBrendaLeeGertman another great leave in I just discovered is called 12 in one leave in (it’s in a blue spritz bottle and can be found in Big Lots) 🥰✨

Aloe and fenugreek water hair spritz. Tried Goddess Strength Carol’s Daughter Divine strength Leave-in Cream for the first time this week. My hair was amazingly moisturized, soft and supple.
I use this mix (plus glycerin and hair growth oil) as my prepoo, courtesy of @Shereadelsol. The ease with which I’m able to detangle my hair is amazing and the curl definition!
@@gwenncoath8941 I don’t really measure. I take the Aloe plant, scoop, blend and strain the aloe gel. Then I just add my Fenugreek water. I usually soak my fenugreek seeds in water over night or for a few hours and just add it to my aloe. It is up to you how much fenugreek water you want to add.
I prepoo my hair when I wash it. And I make my own oils. I also make an Avacado mask with aloe vera, egg, olive oil, honey, fenugreek and other oils. It makes my hair so soft, shiny and manageable. Thank you for sharing! Love this video.
My hair steamer changed my life!!! I also have a water filter... sitting on my bathroom counter. 🤦🏾♀️ I'm going to connect before I wash my hair tomorrow.
Spritz made of fenugreek, hibiscus and essential oil oils peppermint and rosemary, great moisturizer. Seal with an oil i infused or grease whatever I’m feeling like ☺️
Great information ❤️Ed it. I sit for 30 mins. with my Mielle Babassu & Mint Deep Conditioner on my hair under a heat cap It adds shine and moisture to my hair every time.
Thank you! I was looking out for this video. I live in the Caribbean. It's very hot and my hair is always dry. I'm looking forward to trying these methods. Hopefully I get good results.
I love the greenhouse method. I also deep condition with a heated cap. Works wonders. My favorite moisturizing products are: Sally’s Generic Conditioning Balm (Compare to Matrix Biolage Conditioning) and sealing with blue magic hair grease. My hair has never been better
Your advice is allowing me to create a relationship in which I am beginning to love my hair. This humectant idea is Gold and working WONDERS for me! Thank you sooooo much. If you ever have time and get around to advising about gray hair (which I now have a full head of...) I know it will take it to the next level for me. Thank you for your service. How else could I learn soooo much about my hair without becoming a chemist myself? (Hint...it never would of happened).
Hello! As always, great information. I actually combine water, aloe vera gel, glycerin and olive oil, or avocado oil. I mist my hair in the morning and evening. My hair is feeling better since. No moisture overload.
About 4 years ago, when I had dyed(purple) high porosity hair, I tried the water + glycerine mixture in a very humid environment and it made my hair very frizzy. I've been cutting the damage as it grew and now my hair is medium porosity. It loves 1 part aloe + 2 parts water, sealed with shea butter or castor oil. I have type 4 highly dense hair and thick strands, so heavier products works for it. It stays moisturised for about 2-3 days and I mostly style it in 10 braids or twists until next wash day.
Help! I still don’t know how to determine if I have low or high porosity hair 🤦♀️. I’ve watched so many videos and get confused🥴 Love your videos! Thank you!!
African pride's moisture miracle line "Shea butter & flaxseed oil moisturize & define curling cream" is an angel sent down from the Heavens. I tend to steer away from Shea butter and coconut oil due to contact dermatitis issues. BUT I was so fed up with my always dry, (what I believe to be) low porosity, fine stranded, high density, super coily hair that I was willing to try just about anything😩🙄. I love the pre-poo from African pride it's super slippery which is amazing for me since fine strands, high density, & super tight coils makes for a detangling nightmare🤦🏽♀️. So I decided to try the curling cream since it was in the same "moisture miracle" line as the pre-poo. And the fact that it was only $5 at Walgreens, I felt I could take that risk (I've spent way more on natural hair products and been disappointed so hey! 🤷🏽♀️). Long story short, I added this product on dry & clean about day 2 or 3 hair it took some time to fully absorb but bayyybeee when it did, IT DID! It's been about a week and I haven't had to re-moisturize as of yet! Just my testimony 🙌🏽
@@shavairobinson yes!! And still major flakes, looking like coconut in my hair. Also why I did t like CurlMix…. The flaxseed was too much but I found a better gel
@@tj817 I get flakes occasionally but not alot .. I use an oil and it helps but honestly until I find something better I can deal with it .. my hair is usually tucked away so it's easier for me to not make a big deal
@@shavairobinson 4 months on this journey.. this gurl still learning how to twist the back of the hair! Lol no skills! So it is usually a wash n go … I notice the flakes, you know?
I started doing a green tea rinse after washing out the deep conditioner. It made my hair sooooo soft. And I already had a whole box of green tea bags from awhie ago.
I have been doing the greenhouse effect years ago great method. Now I am black hair n grey hair now in a TWA stage and I need to learn how to keep moisture in and what products to use from now on, this is a challenge for me right now.
After washing and conditioning my hair, I've started using botanical gels (humectants) as stylers. I apply on soaking wet hair, work the gel in fully, then sit under a hooded dryer to dry most of the excess water (so that my hair doesn't stay wet for several days lol).
Aloe Vera juice and glycerin works wonders. I also use what I call the JERI CURL method! Old schools remember when people who had Jeri curls get their hair by moisturizing and bagging it!
I use the Aphogee Keratin 2 minute Reconstructor once a month. And I DC with Ethnic Gals low porosity deep conditioner once a week. I have 4c/low porosity hair. Thank you for educating and inspiring us!
I learned about aloe vera being a humectant the hard way a few years back. I had my hair in a protective style during the winter and when I took the style down I had horrible breakage from my hair being dry. But the answer to your question is I steam my hair when I deep condition and when I add my moisturizer 😊
@@idoyes1400 about 3 to 4 weeks. I had faux locs and I was using the aloe to moisture my scalp and roots followed by an oil mixture and the mixture did not have any coconut oil in it.
Thank you so much for your information and content. I save them all and refer to them later. Pre-pooing, deep conditioning using my hair steamer and sealing in moisture on wash days keeps my hair moisturized through the week.
A steamer was a game changer. After shampooing/deep conditioning, I steam my hair and then apply Melanin’s Multi-Purpose Leave In and then continue until the steam stops. Then I put a plastic cap on for about 5 minutes, remove and seal w/Melanin’s Oil. Put a plastic cap on again for about 10 minutes. After that I style. Hair stays moisturized for days.
Girl I love everrry video you do! I always learn something new. Now, what my hair loves, is 💧 * a leave in. I currently have adwoa leave in conditioner and water, spay on my hair twice a week if I remember, snd have moisture for days. I don't let my hair get dry. Issa a no on dry hair for me
By watching 👀 you. I've focus on keeping my hair Moisturized, with water, Leave in & oil, I've seen more length, those oil rinses is everything for me.❤Thanks so much...
Tried the greenhouse method and couldn’t sleep. My hair was misty but the moment I fell asleep it was steaming and became wet (my body temperature goes up when I’m sleeping)I woke up coughing like crazy. Tried to sleep some more but was coughing in minutes. Needless to say I had dry my hair before I could sleep again, then the sudden coughing stopped🤣
I think putting an oil to seal after I put my leave in on. I’ve also started leaving in some of the conditioner that I’m apply in the shower. Co washing has helped me to retain the moisture in my hair.
Thank you for this wonderful wealth of information and I want to thank you for not torturing us and making these beautiful informative "short" videos that get to the point you are the best by far! 😍👌🏽🙌🏾❤
Weekly or bi weekly wash days and steaming helps me retain moisture. I love Curls 2nd day refresher moisturizers. I also love to mix flaxseed gel & aloe vera clove infused juice together for hydration.
I know people usually tout the LOC or LCO methodology. For me I use LG ( leave-in + Gel ). The gel also isn't a regular gel it's a protein gel. It's helped me allot. I had omitted the oil because I noticed most oils especially ones carrying fragrances irritated my scalp.
I have a sensitive scalp and for me personally I find that organic oil such as olive oil or jojoba oils from the grocery store work great. I make sure it is 100% oil only. It's also economical. Hope this helps!
Believe it or not, I have been using Shea Moisture Men Deep Hair Conditioner Avocado Butter and Manuka Honey. This deep conditioner has been working on my 4A, 4B strands. I am still going to switch up deep conditioners while keeping the Shea Moisture Men Deep Hair Conditioner in my collection.
I have done the aloe and water. It is great from dry crunchy hair. My hair dew leave in my oyin handmade works wonders. I also use an oil formula from curly proverbs to seal with growth properties on my scalp and hair. I love these two together
I love when I go to the beach or pool and my hair gets curlier I don't like the dryness but I love the tightness and definition. I love JBCO it's very moisturizing to me as well as aloe vera. Thanks for your videos you are amazing nice very informative short videos you rock!!!. Love your hair!!!!! And skin!!!👍🏽👍🏽✨🌠
Great tips. I just recently started the "greenhouse" method. Really b/c of putting some kind of something in my hair, it still being damp, me being too lazy to buy a new blow dryer, etc. Didn't want my pillow nasty and wet, so I put in my products, covered with plastic cap and scarf. Super damp in a.m. my hair is super thin, so iy was more than enough moisture!
I use a water filter and tend to remoisturise with an Ayurvedic hair spritz and seal with oil. I use the greenhouse method with my prepoo. I have to find my steamer. Used it when I had locs but not since I’ve been loose natural. All really great tips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
omg I tried the greenhouse effect one time and when I woke up my hair was woaking wet! I definitely can't do it overnight. But now I do it right before a shower.
Use a hair spritz or botanical gel that contains humectants. Water and aloe vera juice. The Green House Effect Method. Invest in a hair steamer. Invest in a shower filter.
Takeaway: green house(spray water and spray oil and plastic cap on) or leave in conditioner in water bottle and spray and oil on top and put cap on and scalp treatment with peppermint or tea tree oil; shower filter
Aloe Vera is amazing. I use that ooey gooey gel stuff and it is amazing. It moisturizes the hair instantly. I work it into my hair after using the leave in conditioner and twisting cream. Its amazing.
I live in Vegas.. Super dry usually and high porosity.. Type 3,med density and med. texture..I oil my scalp, spray a leave in mid shaft to ends then coat with oil then slip a satin cap on . Plastic bag keeps my hair too most through the night.. This just means I have to wash my cap a bit more often.. 😊
I have high porosity Type 4B hair and my hair wouldn’t make it 1 full day moisturized before I started sealing with Blue Magic Grease instead of an oil. I got this tip from a UA-camr that has the most amazing almost if not tailbone Type 4A/B hair. 😉
On wash day I use a mixture of garlic and coconut oil on my scalp and then detangle my hair with water and castor oil. I sit under the heat cap for 10 minutes to let it penetrate and then wash my hair. I put a few drops of rosemary oil in the shampoo to wash my hair. Lastly, I use the heat cap to deep condition my hair.
Hi Tonya, is it possible that u can make a video about the water hydration method , its a great way for moisture but i’m scared that it can also cause hygral fatigue
Love your videos, so educational and has opened my eyes to certain ingredients. Is it possible to refresh low porosity hair without misting it first? I wanted to just add my leave in which Is pattern beauty only instead of misting it first.
1. I started cleansing and conditioning weekly. This has encouraged tremendous growth for my hair.
2. I started using Grease to seal in the moisture from my leave-in and boy oh boy, my hair remained moisturised throughout, when I unravelled my hair, it didn't lose definition till I was ready to wash.
3. Hooded dryer has really made a my journey a blessed one.

I have a sensitive scalp and for me personally I find that organic oil such as olive oil or jojoba oils from the grocery store work great. I make sure it is 100% oil only. It's also economical. Hope this helps!
Believe it or not, I have been using Shea Moisture Men Deep Hair Conditioner Avocado Butter and Manuka Honey. This deep conditioner has been working on my 4A, 4B strands. I am still going to switch up deep conditioners while keeping the Shea Moisture Men Deep Hair Conditioner in my collection.
We LOVE you, Tonia!! ❤️😊❤️Thanks as ALWAYS for the GREAT information!!
Thank you! Thank you for ALL of the great info you give!
You’re welcome!! 💜
You’re welcome!! 💜
I have done the aloe and water. It is great from dry crunchy hair. My hair dew leave in my oyin handmade works wonders. I also use an oil formula from curly proverbs to seal with growth properties on my scalp and hair. I love these two together
Love it! Thank you for sharing!
I love when I go to the beach or pool and my hair gets curlier I don't like the dryness but I love the tightness and definition. I love JBCO it's very moisturizing to me as well as aloe vera. Thanks for your videos you are amazing nice very informative short videos you rock!!!. Love your hair!!!!! And skin!!!👍🏽👍🏽✨🌠
Thank you!! 💜💜
Hi Curls Vick, if you add a good coating oil before going into the water it helps with the dryness.
@@Velvety1Vee thanks for the advice👍🏽👍🏽😊
Thanks sis, I’ve been loving the As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil water spray. It’s awesome 🤩
Great tips. I just recently started the "greenhouse" method. Really b/c of putting some kind of something in my hair, it still being damp, me being too lazy to buy a new blow dryer, etc. Didn't want my pillow nasty and wet, so I put in my products, covered with plastic cap and scarf. Super damp in a.m. my hair is super thin, so iy was more than enough moisture!
Steamer. I was so hoping to not have to buy another hair device. LOL. What has helped is washing my hair and deep conditioning at least once a week.
Thank you for sharing!
What kind of steamer do you suggest ? I have a heated cap one plug in and the other microwave one.
My hair loves the shower cap method overnight and as always aloe juice.
I use a water filter and tend to remoisturise with an Ayurvedic hair spritz and seal with oil. I use the greenhouse method with my prepoo. I have to find my steamer. Used it when I had locs but not since I’ve been loose natural. All really great tips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
omg I tried the greenhouse effect one time and when I woke up my hair was woaking wet! I definitely can't do it overnight. But now I do it right before a shower.
It's serious! Thank you for sharing! :-)
Same here-I woke to wet smelly hair. I think a Moldy smell. Never again 🤭
I use a facial steamer and love it. It also helps with detangling.
Use a hair spritz or botanical gel that contains humectants. Water and aloe vera juice. The Green House Effect Method. Invest in a hair steamer. Invest in a shower filter.
Flaxseed gel and amla oil + conditioner.
Ur videos are the freaking BEST!
What’s the difference in using a steamer and sitting under dryer with cap? Thanks
Steamer produce humidity and cap dryness
Happy Friday beautiful 🌻🌻🌻
Happy Friday!!
Takeaway: green house(spray water and spray oil and plastic cap on) or leave in conditioner in water bottle and spray and oil on top and put cap on and scalp treatment with peppermint or tea tree oil; shower filter
George's Aloe Vera (water). It comes in a large jug; I and put some in a smaller spray bottle and mist my hair before retwisting
I now see in your notes that you do list the ratio. Thanks
Aloe Vera is amazing. I use that ooey gooey gel stuff and it is amazing. It moisturizes the hair instantly. I work it into my hair after using the leave in conditioner and twisting cream. Its amazing.
Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Can these tips be used if you are wearing a wash and go?
Great tips Tonya. I prefer water and aloe vera mixture for moisturizing my low porosity hair. What ratio of water to AV would you suggest?
For ACV rinses 2.5 cups water to 1/4 cup ACV. You can adjust as needed,
I live in Vegas.. Super dry usually and high porosity.. Type 3,med density and med. texture..I oil my scalp, spray a leave in mid shaft to ends then coat with oil then slip a satin cap on . Plastic bag keeps my hair too most through the night.. This just means I have to wash my cap a bit more often.. 😊
I have high porosity Type 4B hair and my hair wouldn’t make it 1 full day moisturized before I started sealing with Blue Magic Grease instead of an oil. I got this tip from a UA-camr that has the most amazing almost if not tailbone Type 4A/B hair. 😉
My DIY spray. Keeps my hair moisturized and growing like crazy
I learned that steam does wonders for my hair! I use it everytime i condition.
I love it!
On wash day I use a mixture of garlic and coconut oil on my scalp and then detangle my hair with water and castor oil. I sit under the heat cap for 10 minutes to let it penetrate and then wash my hair. I put a few drops of rosemary oil in the shampoo to wash my hair. Lastly, I use the heat cap to deep condition my hair.
Nice! Thank you for sharing! 💜
Hi Tonya, is it possible that u can make a video about the water hydration method , its a great way for moisture but i’m scared that it can also cause hygral fatigue
Love your videos, so educational and has opened my eyes to certain ingredients.
Is it possible to refresh low porosity hair without misting it first? I wanted to just add my leave in which Is pattern beauty only instead of misting it first.
I have extremely high porosity hair extremely dry hair. I’m over it.
Aloe vera from the plant for moisture and the whole banana for the strength blended up in my conditioners.
Thank you sooo much. As usual! ONE LOVE
