Is Almond oil good for hair?
In what category would pumpkin seed oil fall under? Please advise. Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi, I just discovered your channel thru GlamFam channel. I just wanted to answer the question you asked about one choice of oil on an island. Absolutely Coconut.
Also, thank you for talking about how ridiculous it is to stop adding oils to your natural hair.
The title almost made my Indian heart give out
🤣🤣
Lol
😂😂
Right!
Same 🤣🤣
Who had long beautiful hair as a child when mom just used simple hair grease? Do what makes your hair happy.
Yelp, no oil, please, you're not my Afro- American dermatologist nor are you momma. Ladies do whats best for your scalp.
Me 🙋🏾
@@kelmoran That's exactly what she says. Do what works. If oil works, oil it is.
@@kelmoran You obviously didnt watch the video. Within 15 seconds she says, "Its crazy to NOT use oils on your hair"
Yes and I'm going back to what makes my hair happy...grease. lol
I thought she was going to say leave the oils alone!😭 I love my black castor oil. It alone grew my edges back beautifully! I discovered Amla oil and loving that too.
Do you put it on your scalp?
As a Indian...i had a heart attack seeing the title😂😂😂😂yes..oil are amazing but one can do what their hair loves...oils have saved my hair from the most scarist hairfall and damage 😎❤️
May I ask what type of oils have helped you? Especially when it comes to hair loss. Im struggling currently as well
@@ribbonsbows1358 coconut oil and olive oil
@@ribbonsbows1358 I don't know if it is of any help but I make a oil out of onion and garlic with the base olive oil and it stopped my hair shedding within a week of 2
@@maurienpetrusi5303 Ohh I havent heard of that. Thank you so much, it is helpful and I will definitely be trying it out ❤ Thank you again 😊
Am going through a massive scary hairfall that i have never seen in my life,its a handful everyday and while oiling it even more
Who knew hair was more complicated than a relationship😨😩
Thanks for the 1000 likes☺️☺️☺️
HHahhaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Of course it is more complicated!! BUT don't you sisters deny that when our hair is on point it's ALWAYS the WOW factor in the room Lol love it! 👍👍💓😊
Lol
😂🤣🤣🤣
I've seen this video in my feed for the last few days now but I kept skipping it cause I thought you were going to tell me not to use oils & I just couldn't bare to hear that lol
Lol, me too. Cos I just bought more oils yesterday. 😂
Same here 😆
😂😂😂 me too, like my hair is dry and I can’t do without my oils and butters.
Me tto. But at last decided to wTch
Ditto! I was like I need my oils! But this made me subscribe
Managing healthy hair is more difficult than my marriage Lol 😂 BAM!
I am SO happy your marriage (or at least not bad, lol).
Facts.
Its a full-time job, with mandatory over time every day!!! 🙁😫
😅
🤣😂🤣
Totally agree. I didn’t see any progress in my hair until I started using oils. I introduced oil to my hair routine in the past months, and it was the game changer. I use coconut oil twice a week and castor oil and sweet almond oil + vitamin E in my LOC and I use castor oil as a pre poo before my washing routine and it definitely protect my strands.
I just started using oil again...let's see!
I'd take Olive Oil with me if I were stranded. I can use it to cook, for my skin, and my nails.
Me to
Nick Bry *too
And coconut oil for me
Harriett's Daughter same!!
Me too. I've been using olive oil in my food, hair and on my skin since the 90's. (Thanks Mom😉)
Hot oil treatments with oils and butters are the reason my hair is tailbone length .
can you explain how you do it ? I mean is it the same as when you put oil in your hair as deep conditioning ? xoxo
BoZ yes it’s the same. I deep condition with oil and butter. I heat them up and drench my hair. I put a heat cap on for about 3 hours. Wash out and my hair is always very moisturized.
@@TheGummybears101 thanks I'll try that
@Cupcakeprincess where did you buy your heat cap? My hair need to have a heat conditioning.
Kimberly Obley Amazon. Sometimes also the portable dryer which was like $30
I would bring Coconut Oil with me on the island, it’s good for hair and skin and you can cook with it 👍🏽
@Florence Girrrrrrrl you just reminded me of a time me and Bae oiled up with Coconut Oil on our vacation trip to Anguilla, we got COOKED so you right!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Coconut oil, gave me more black heads on my face.
@@Antonella1616 yea she they are not good for hair or skin
Coconut oil is not a good oil to be used on your face, it can cause acne, it's highly comedogenic, but it's okay if you use it on other parts of your body
@@jktm7785 Coconut oil agree with some of us very well....what works for you might not work for some one else...
Sesame oil amazed me the first time I used it. It softens and leaves my hair feeling happy and lovely. If I put it on before bed, I lie down smelling like Chinese food, but the scent is gone by morning.
😂😂
Did you put this all over your hair or just your roots?
y'all i thought she was about to say we should leave the oils. i just bought like 3 different oils a week ago
Zoe T Bulle same I was about to be so mad
I’ve never heard any natural say that oils in general were bad for hair.
I know ! I was so nervous 😄 I love my oils
Never will I NOT use oils!!
I was so nervous 😂😂
*I cannot go without oils and butters mixed together on my 4C hair. Oils are necessary choose one that works for you*
Bơͫʂͣʂͩɛͣɬͫɬͤą RơყąƖɬყ or choose like 8! Most of my hair is high porosity and it loooooves coconut, olive, hemp, grapeseed, castor, and jojoba oils; plus essential oils, don't even get me started
@@shelbyrodgers3496 *Yasssss agreed! 4C haired women have come a long way. I'm glad we figured it out. I have not used chemicals in my hair and over 10 years. Let's continue to embrace what God has given us.
Bơͫʂͣʂͩɛͣɬͫɬͤą RơყąƖɬყ My hair texture is actually closer to 3c/4a/4b; I definitely feel that my 4c textured sistas have some GOAT tips for moisture retention tho!!!
Yes i agree need oil and a butter.
Bơͫʂͣʂͩɛͣɬͫɬͤą RơყąƖɬყ definitely necessary! Olive oil & Shea butter are saving my edges lol
Nahh, oil saved my hair. People can say what they want, I stick to my coconut oil.
I like coconut oil too. Coconut gets such a bad rep
Lol she actually saying how good oils are to our hair
@@thestoryteller212 I know, and I totally agree
I looove coconut oil! It transformed my hair!
Me too.
This title made my heart stop for a second! Our grandmothers, tias and mamas knew what they were doing. I was an Ultra Sheen w/ Glover's, Sulfur 8, Dax Tar with a little iodine mixed in, Vaseline mixed with Vaporub in a pinch, Indian Hemp or good old coconut oil with the extra rubbed into my arms and face, child. Oh wait, I almost forgot about Queen Helene. My hair was full and healthy until somewhere as an adult, like a fool, I stopped greasing my scalp.
Time to revisit my roots.
Go back to the roots! 😆
Coconut oil isn’t good for the skin or hair
@@mssha1980 what might not be right for you, may be perfectly okay for others. My island friends would also disagree.
@@mssha1980 I use coconut oil on my skin and my youngest son. Especially when his lips are chapped, because the coconut oil is safe to ingest if he licks his lips. My oldest had ezcema, I use olive oil on his skin in addition to his ointment in the winter under his thick socks and clothes.
Omgosh lol....I remember all of these hair greases. Dax tar smelled so bad. I loved Indian hemp, specifically the one by Dax. Yea I had no issues when I used hair grease. My hair was healthy and flourishing. Sigh
Coconut oil is a big "No no" for my hair.
Mine too. Makes it dry and brittle.
@@anitathompson7023 same here.
Is coconut oil good more coarse hair?
Rebecca Connell , my hair is very coarse and I use coconut oil all the time. My hair loves it
Same
Science is my love language! As soon as you started talking, I hit the subscribe button. Thank you for explaining what's going on "behind the scenes" when we use oil.
Kanesha Glenn you’re so welcome! Thank you for subbing! 🤗
Same
Same!!
Saaaaammmeee!!
nahhh my indian mum used to slather coconut oil on my hair all the time when I was a hair, and I used to have really thick long and soft hair, but since I started doing my own hair and avoiding oil, it has gotten so thin and brittle😩😩😩
Yes same here 😂 Harshita 👍
Same here too I'm going to start sludering oils on my hairs again
That's exactly me
Army
When you were a hair😂😂😂 I'm sorry
Only took me watching 10 thousand UA-cam videos on hair for someone to explain everything I needed! Thank you
WAIT! Let me grab a pencil. I didn't know we were about to have class. 😂 Thanks for the explanation!!
Also, to answer your question: Olive Oil!! I use olive oil for everything (cooking, haircare, and skincare).
Why didn’t raise your hand? 😂😂😂😂😂 Class was definitely in session. I had my pencils, pens, & my composition notebook out!!
Unrelated but I couldn't leave without mentioning that this red lip just fits you perfectly 🤩
RIGHT!!! I’m ALWAYS here for an old mean and nasty red lip on my good sisters!
@@MissTeaq wtf that made it sound weird 😒🙄
Yaasss!!
One of the best natural haircare videos I have seen in years
Thank you for taking the time to educate us : )
Just purchased your book! I'm so excited to learn about curly hair. I have the complete opposite and I'm so excited to educate myself for my clients while I'm on set for filming! Thank you so much!!

Avocado oil to the end of the days.... My hair LOVES IT!
Which brand do you use and do you mix it with other oils? Thanks
@@Lissysweety22 hi I buy it in Costco and no I don't mix it unless I'm preparing a scalp oil... Other than that I use it as it is...
@@mariahthomas1584 aww thanks for responding. I’ve got a 2 year old and I’m trying to figure out how to grow her hair naturally and keep it moisturised. Her hair is quiet dry and kinky. Any more tips are welcome 😁
@@Lissysweety22 you are very welcome, I use henna, amla and fenugreek on my scalp oil, scalp massage with it to make my hair grow faster. It definitely makes hair growth ❤️ I made some extra to give away to friends and family just to prove it was not my generics and their hair is growing as well... So maybe give it a try I don't know about trying herbs on kids. Follow curlyproverbz as well... Bw this channel, hers and green beauty my 4C kinky is AMAZING ❤️💕❤️
@@mariahthomas1584 ok it sounds great. Many thanks 💜💜💜💜
Grapeseed oil. Great for my skin and makes my hair shiny.
Never have I ever liked and subscribed so instantaneously. Love the way you’ve described and made the chemistry so accessible
Thank you! ☺️
As a curly biochemist I’m am THRILLED to find you and was ready to call you out when I saw the thumbnail cause oils are my holy grail. So much nonsense going around in the curly community , we NEED this content!!!
@@Cocoflower528 exactly there is no scientific facts that show oil is anyway beneficial to hair
Thank you for chiming in also! These cosmetologists be tripping
@@teeeee9174 I don’t think you watched the video
@@teeeee9174 You may want to watch the video again.
Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart ❤️
If I could only use one oil for the next 3 months than I would choose Jamaican black castor oil.
YESS
As someone with high porosity hair, same.
Yes I was looking for this.....
Well I have been using oils and it has been working for me. My hair has been growing especially when I used to take Medformen as medication and it's true, it does take your hair out among other things. I took myself off of it. Started using oils to grease my hair, and my hair has been growing since.
I've used jbc, coconut, tea tree, peppermint, lavender, rosemary.
They've worked for me.
When I was a child, my mom used bergamont, sulfur 8, and the blue one, I can't think of it right now, the company that makes the grease also makes a perm kit, but it wasn't blue magic.
My hair green and it was long.
You don't have to grease your hair every day, but for us naturals you got to have something on your scalp. Our hair gets dry.
I spray aloe vera juice, or water on my hair. Works well for me.
Oh, I remember now.
It was Ultra Sheen hair grease
I’m so glad I came across this video because haircare twitter has absolutely lost it 😂 talking about “oils don’t penetrate your hair” and “oils don’t seal your hair”. This stylist has gone viral and been on there making all these claims about how the natural hair community needs to give up oils and we should listen to her because she’s been doing hair for “since before a lot of us were born” 🙄
She applies no science or explanation to her advice and is so violent when she talks to people online. Thank you for making me realize she’s just talking nonsense. I’ll continue using oils in my hair because I know they will keep my hair healthy.
Ikr I've conversed with some of these people. They don't know hair science at all yet they go viral without recommending any hair products whatsoever. Some people are going to learn the hard way.
This!!! All the cosmetologist said the opposite thing. My hair stylist told me what I need to do before quarantine hit. And that included oil. I was looking like huh? Also people need to check if they leave in a hard water area. Because that will dry your hair out. Even parts of your state and city can vary.
She’s a hairstylist tho. She’s making a suggestion do what’s best for u. I know you feel lost and confused because you don’t know how to deal with ur hair and you want to believe what you’re used to do is best and feel challenged by new informations.
@@shomshomni2314 the problem is that a lot of y’all think getting recommended hair products will solve your problem when it’s deeper than that. and the hairstylists are licensed cosmetologists... so they learned about the science of hair.
Summary of the video so we wont need to rewatch☺️
> If you want oils that penetrate the hair(for umectation i guess?):
•Saturated fatty accid
•Monounsaturated fatty acid
> If you want oils that seal the hair(to use after moisturizing products when styling your hair):
• Polyunsaturated fatty acid
>In order for oils to work on your hair
•DRINK LOTS OF WATER EVERYDAY!!!
• Babassu oil to replace coconut oil
Late to the party but JOJOBA OIL good for my hair, lips, skin, heals cuts an bruises
Bu is it a penetrating oil or a coating oil??
I searched later and is a coating oil
Thank you! I was wondering this!
Jojoba Oil is supposed to be the closest oil to our natural hair oil secretion (sebum).
Argan oil is also so hydrating
I'm Asian we have a long history of using hair oils before showering most asians have thick long hair and they attribute it to oil treatments I didnt use oil in my hair before because of that my hair was very dry. I recently started using hair it increased my length and retained the volume.
You just need the right blend for your hair type
Hi Fatima would u like to tel me what is the best oil for thin cury Indian hair. Thank u. Much appreciated. I have a heath problem and my hair is damaged n is failing. I need to fix it up. Have a great day.. 🙏🤗
@@teenaidoo8569 I generally use olive oil with a table spoon of honey (I have thicker hair) but for thinner ones I'd say use castor jojoba black seed and coconut in various mixtures
Hi Fatima. How do you use it? I would like to try it myself.
@@KJAlways work my way from roots to tip and then comb it with a wide tooth comb preferably let it sit for over an hour
Tee Naidoo cut off heat damaged hair. Its dead
Sis... I know this is a year old but can I tell you that I LOVE THIS!! I am a lover of Organic Chemistry and when I saw this I couldn’t become a new subbie fast enough🥰. If I knew this was a career choice in college, I would have whole heartedly jumped on it. Maybe it’s not too late because my Sistahs are struggling with accurate knowledge about their hair. Let’s get down to the science of it all and destroy all of the misconceptions, bad advice, poor habits, false beliefs and the WORKS that people have about our hair... especially OUR people! Thank you thank you THANK YOU for your scientific dedication to this field. We need more!!!!
Wow, thank you so much Monica!! 💜💜
I'm so glad I came across your video. I've been researching hot oil treatments for my daughter's dry hair and wasn't sure if and what to use. Thanks for breaking it down.
I've noticed this trend recently of stylists saying "no oil" . Its usually from those that have or endorse a product line. Their hair usually looks dry too imho. EVOO is my holy grail
@My 2 Cents Give thanks for a great stylist!. Yep it's usually the ones with a product to sell...
They usually say it because natural girls use products that have a lot of oils and then add more, so they end up with oily hair that will remain dry, because on top of using tons of oils they don't shampoo often and don't remove that oily layer from the hair.
So it’s a new trend because I have never heard any natural say that dumb
It probably depends on how much oil your hair naturally produces.
Yeaaa my salon does the same, now I have to tell all my clients that which I don't particularly like. Planning on leaving soon but gathering all the techniques first so I can tweak to my preference. The owner doesn't even want products with oils in it like mielle, curls, and doesn't use a leave-in at all. We do use sulfates so that's a plus. Oh and we also cannot promote or do any other styles besides the wash and go. (Clients and stylists!!) Been wanting some box braids but she'll tell me to take em out. I won't be there long.
Definitely olive oil. I use it on my skin, my hair, in my food, everything!
I would take a spray bottle with water and drops of black castor oil. And spray my scalp and locs when needed. Thanks for the confirmation that I’m doing what right for my scalp and hair💕😊
Olive oil! My hair has loved it since my relaxer days.
I’m going to need you to create a haircare line cause i think it would be bomb!
All I know is coconut oil makes my hair crunchy.
Same here! Can't take it!
FYI: It makes my hair crunchy, dry, and brittle too. It acts as a protein. Next time you use it, follow it up with a deep moisturizing conditioner. Keep the moisturizing conditioner in as long as you can stand it. Preferably overnight; if not overnight then get under a dryer with a plastic for 30 minutes. You will be pleasantly surprised how your hair with soften up with hydration. Hope that helps.
There are Black-owned brands that are coconut-oil free, like Product Junkie Naturals.
@Muse Haven bZbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbBOOB
Yep, same. Hate it smell so good though🙄
I was starting to second guess myself because I love using oils in my twist but I’ve been seeing lots of videos saying oils are bad and cause dryness. I’m glad you explained everything so well!
Too much oils base products yes could cause dryness but oils are great Gor your hair...use it in moderation
I truly appreciate how thorough you were about explaining which oils penetrate vs coat the hair 🙌🏽! The one oil I would take with me is hemp seed oil, it works amazingly for skin + my hair.😆
I think there might be a misunderstanding. The notion, from my understanding, is not to use raw oils on the hair. Products formulated with oils are fine if you are using a strong enough shampoo to remove it. Products with oils can also work to lubricate the strand. Using oils and butters and then only co-washing or using very mild surfactants can cause dehydrated hair.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with raw oils.
Yes to the education!
Thank you!! :-)
Im glad i found your channel!!! 🌹I love science and i love natural hair so hearing the science of natural hair is beautiful!!!!!!! 😻😻😻💜 i will show this video to my mom to help us both pick out more oils to try! If i was packing and i could only pack 1 oil i would choose pure Jamaican black castor oil because my hair loves it🥰💜💜
Avocado 🥑 oil is my favorite oil😍😍😍 it makes my hair so damn manageable! I use it for my pre-poo, mix it into my conditioner and leave in, and I also mix it into my spray bottle with water and conditioner
If I had to take one oil on a island and use for the rest of my days it would be Sweet Almond Oil!!!💕
Same.
Or..macadamia nut oil...
BlessedMom810 Me Too! I think it’s an overlooked oil.
BlessedMom810 a great oil
Other naturals: I don’t use oils because it’ll make your hair dry..
okay where’s the source?
A stylist told me..
mmk..
Oooh that is a daring and controversial swipe at a certain hair movement taking these UA-cam streets by storm these days 🤭
I am a stylist and it depends on your hair type and porosity and diet.
If your hair is dry, oil will only make it worse
@@jozelynwilliams5697 well if its colored or bleached that could be type of hair that can be dry or oily. The ph is all mess up with the chemicals. High porosity your hair will suck in moister but has hard time keeping it. Low opposite. Then it depends person using the wrong type of shampoo. Also take time to make the hair healthy again to except the oils.
You can't just use oils though. Just use a moisturizer and then seal it in with oil. Oil should be used as an addition to the hair, it won't moisturize it on its own.
You took the complexities of the science of this and made it easy to understand. Great job
Hey Queen! I am LOVING your content. As a lover of new knowledge I enjoy hearing the breakdown of "Why" and "How" products operate in our hair. I appreciate your passion for sharing this info 🤗
I'm 56 years old and I truly think hair products and food had better ingredients back in the day. Hair was natural,had shampoo/hotcomb once a month. No hair dryers.
Playing outside all day made us crave more water.
Better food, less heat and more water
enhanced hair growth.
Sure did
The good old days
Youthfulness can attribute to healthy & quick growing hair too. The older u get sometimes u have to work for ur hair/skin.
The food quality has definitely declined...by the time we receive our fruits and veg, many of the nutrients are gone
Very very true
Thank you there is so much mixed messages about oils so hearing from an actual chemist gives me peace of mind lol love your videos
I use to not use oil. When I did use it was on dry hair and my hair hated it. It was as if my hair was burned. I then learned I had to put it on wet hair. Every sense that my hair has been happy. I also use the flexible comb. My hair also found the oils that made my hair happy such as. Jamaican black castor oil, rosemary oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, Teatree oil and almond oil. I would then use Shea butter with a protective style big chunky braids and a scarf to cover the hair on the weekends I wear my hair out during the week put my hair back.
On a desert island i would take castor oil even though i can't stand the smell, it's worth it for stronger healthy looking hair.
Gem Thomson Smells like machine oil.😩
Castor oil doesnt penetrate my strands but it helps my scalp
They sell the scented ones I usually get the coconut one.. smells so good
Brown Beauty I don’t trust any castor oil anymore. Once it interacts with your body chemistry, it’s a different story.. Smellsgood in the bottle. But once it’s on your hair/scalp for a few days, then it smells different.
Brittany S Ok. That’ll work and is good for your hair. As long as you wash it out after it has time to penetrate as a hot oil treatment, I think that’ll be fine. I just think that using castor oil or other stinky oils /greases on the scalp/hair and allowing them to remain on daily basis doesn’t smell good and leads to buildup.
I never stopped using hair grease ever, I still use it in me & my youngest daughter hair!!!!
Avocado. The only oil that my hair truly loves ❤️
I stopped using extra oil in my hair years ago because it was causing more problems than solving...but I use products with high oil content of oils that I like. Most hair products are just oil and butters anyways
Does it make your hair grow?
Loved this so much! Thank you! And I can’t go any where without my coconut oil!😊
I would bring my avocado oil. Can’t live without with it.
Avocado oil is the best for my hair. I've tried others, nope.
never tried it, are you low porosity?
That's my go to as well
@@autobotdiva9268
I'm going to ask my hairdresser. But, I believe that it takes a while for my hair to get wet when I wash it. Not sure if low ?
SunRae* ** Yup, that’s low. I’m going to try avocado oil for my next hot oil treatment.
I can’t go without my Argan oil. I love the light feel of this oil
When I use oil my hair is healthy, limits breakage and can actually grow. All my aunties in Africa use oil and their hair is long and full! Oilve oil is a well known treatment. We love Olive Oil in particular!! Coconut oil would dry my hair and make it break in the long run. It's trial and error in the long run.
Olive Oil because I can use it on my skin and hair and they both do well with Olive oil. I have very dry skin so a lot of times in the winter I use olive oil as my facial moisturizer. Yes, my face! Because it keeps my skin moisturized in the cold weather. My skin loves. I have spoken to women from Italy, they use the olive oil on the skin also. And my scalp likes the olive oil.
Oils, butters, grease, all help to hold moisture in. That’s what they’re for. They’re not bad for your hair if you know what you’re doing when using them.
The one I would pack would be castor oil. Castor oil is my favorite oil. Thank you so much for this informative video! The peoples need to know!!!
Think about specializing hair care for fine, coily, high porosity hair. Everyone neglects the fine hair women. Thank you for your channel.
I think it's typically because fine hair usually tends to get weighed down by most products on the market today, so I think a foam or styling/shaping cream would work best after the initial blowout.. I agree that there is not quite as many products out there for fine hair as there is for every other type of hair..
This video is amazing! My mom used to always do hot olive oil treatments on me which was passed on from her mom, passed on from Italy. Cool to know the science behind it and that something was actually working, going to go fix my frizzy hair now... haha
I’m so glad you mentioned it... I saw where a hairdresser(s) mentioned not to use a oils too I was like 🤔 nahhh not listening to that one!
If you did, you would see your broken off ends I'm the sink.
I used Trader Joe’s tea tree conditioner and I put a hot oil treatment on top, used it overnight, and my hair was so moisturized. (I used a bunch of oils like Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil...)
I’m taking organic Chemistry right now so I find this so fascinating thank you for this
I will take palm oil
Black castor oil has been my favorite. I’m majoring in biology and have not been getting my homework then you started talking and I was like let me find out this is the way I’ll learn!
I primarily come here to hear you talk. I could listen to you talk about chemistry all day long. #blacknerdsunite
Please can you do a video on when to use these different oils and butters on your hair? For example do a video on the steps to take or when to use oils, moisture, butters, conditioner ect. Thank you 😊 💚💚
This video deserves a million views!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️ very informative 🥰
You’re welcome! ☺️
I’m so happy for this video as I’d recently come across a hair detox challenge by some cosmetologists and wanted to get your take as the challenge was eschewing oils and butters particularly coconut, castor and Shea butter and they claimed from a scientific perspective it wasn’t beneficial to the hair and blocked moisture.
Glad to know I don’t have to chuck my oils!
I have been seeing those 30 day hair detox challenge videos too. I would love for her to make a video with her scientific take on why the method is good or not 🤔
Love the science. My curly hair needs some serious rehab. Knowing the chemistry helps. Thanks.
Thank you for educating me about my hair! Have a blessed day!!
This is such an interesting, helpful perspective. Thank you!
I was able to do this with Weedborn CBD products.
Oils mixed with butters..WINNER FOR ME!! Oils on their own.. EPIC FAIL!! Great video as always!!
Oooo butters! That's another video! :-)

Olive oil 100%. Great for hair, nails, skin, and cooking! 😄
Olive oil
Olive oil is great. Growing up my grandmother used it on her hair. It was long and beautiful.
Skin not really! It clogs pores.
The best oils for skin is squalane, MCT: Caprylic/Capric triglycerides
and Jojoba Oil.
@@andreachidiac8898 as a pre-wash before you get in the shower, its good.
@@skydelight I am happy it works for you. I never really tried it since I'm prone to breakouts.
My absolute favorite oil is Argon Oil, but I don't use it very regularly because it's so expensive. This is the one I would take with me for a 3 month span. Great video! 💕
Thank you mama for this tutorial! It really helped me understand the hair follicles and how to care for it! Your amazing 👏 ❤😊
You are so welcome! :-D
The one oil would take with me is Jojoba oil. This oil is good for everythang!
It's literally perfect for skin and hair 😍
Good video. Made a lot of sense. I’m a stylist who just cut all my hair off due to damage and bored during the “stay” home. I wanna grow my hair tailbone length. I would be soooo happy.
I’ll learn the other ways to follow you too.
Thanks!
This video came up on my recommends and I also studied Biology and Chemistry so it's nice to know from the deeper level
Now THIS video was THE video I was looking for! Answered SO many questions!! Ty!!!
I've tried a lot of different oils like coconut, shea nut, (black) castor, avocado, almond, olive, Amla, argan, hemp, but what works the best for my hair and scalp seems to be vitamine E. And it works wonders for your skin and nails to without leaving an oily shiny residu. I always use a very small amount with some water when applying it on the skin
Castor oil I love the thickness and it's great moisture retaining abilities
Sis the science in this video is on point! I agree with it! I came doubtful lol
After going natural a hair stylist once asked me “why don’t you use oils in your hair?”. I didn’t understand what he meant when he asked me; and I was not using oils in my hair at the time; but after watching Curly Chemistry videos NOW I KNOW the great benefits of using OILS in the hair.
I never subscribed so fast in my life. This science is giving me life!!
Awww thank you!! :-)
SAME! 🤩
Same
Same 😁
FINALLY scientific reasoning to help understand black beauty trends.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I stan for this.
Low-key, if I had learned orgo like this I definitely would've stayed awake more in class.
This video was EVERYTHING I love it and to answer your question I was on a island for 3 months and I refused to leave my castor oil and coconut oil behind
This is one of the most useful video's i've ever seen on youtube. Thank you❤
Coconut oil ... amazing fir my hair, skin, nails, feet and cooking!
Guuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllll Break it down. You better know what you’re talking about!!!! Immediately subscribed and I will be watch all of your classes. Take me to church. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this helps. OMG
I think people should use what works for them. If it's oils, use it, if it's creams use it. Everybody's different so whatever works do that and don't listen to others opinions.
THANK YOU for recommending an oil that's equivalent to coconut oil! I know coconut oil has so many beneficial qualities, but my hair hates it! I've tried it every which way, too. By itself, in a blend with other oils, in leave ins/ creams....but nope. Any product with coconut oil disagrees with my hair. My hair responds well to argan oil though, & I've been wanting to try others
How do you tell if coconut oil is the one causing issues in your hair?
@@geetika6540 It took me a long time to realize coconut oil was a problem. I'm a hair product junkie and have tried a lot of products - literally zero leave ins, stylers, or oils/ oil blends that contain coconut oil work for my hair. But, like I mentioned on my original comment, I've tried it as just the oil - which was awful. But I know sometimes your hair only does well with certain oils used in certain ways. So, also like I mentioned, besides using it alone & hating it, I've used it in more than one blend of oils, as well as many, many stylers, and all of them gave my hair the same awful feeling. I'm also a total hair product junkie, and since I always read the ingredients list, over time, I began to get an excellent grasp of what works for my hair and what doesn't work. For example, Certain ingredients are only good for my hair if they are only towards the bottom of the list, others my hair loves no matter what. I actually just recently caved and bought Camille Rose curl maker, despite coconut oil being the 2nd ingredient after water. People with similar textures, density, and porosity as myself were getting such amazing results, so when I saw a travel size curl maker while at Wal-Mart, I decided to buy it. At 1st it seemed great! My curls actually felt ok at 1st, and looked nice. But, within less than 24 hours, that ick feeling in my hair again, and I had used it pretty sparingly.
Thank for you commenting this! My hair hates it too
@@geetika6540 Use it by itself for maybe two weeks and ses
