Firstly.. Naturals that don't tie their hair at night...... Sis what is you doing??? I literally wake out of my sleep when I feel that head tie slide off. Lol
I came by to say I've been slipping girl with covering my hair at night 🤦🏽♀️ I just fall asleep these days and I find I started getting too hot at night to keep using the satin pillowcase like I use to, so I got some work to do. Thanks checking us.😏 I'll try to do better.😊
Yes. But recently I’ve noticed that there is a white residue that wasn’t there before so I don’t know if it’s my conditioner I use during pre poo or what.
😩 You warned us. I don’t wash my hair in sections. I WASH LIKE BECKY!! I’m TRIGGERED!! 🤣💀💀💀💀 Okay. Let’s negotiate. I like to wash my hair loose like Becky, BUT I condition and twist/rinse before I get out the shower to help with detangling. I’m safe. 😂😂
Mee too!! I condition, rinse with just my head under the shower and twist asap. I used to wash in sections but I hate water and products touching my skin while washing my hair.🥺
Just a suggestion but try using coconut oil for pre-pooing/detangling on dry hair before cleansing your hair. Coconut oil is what is known as a penetrating oil meaning that is actually does seep into your hair's cuticles going into the inner cortex of your hair. Coconut oil is *not* a good "sealing" oil b/c of this property but it does make it good for revitalizing the hair with healthy triglycerides (a type of fat molecule) that helps protects the hair from physical damage as well as hydro-fatigue. Olive oil is also another great penetrating oil. For sealing oils/products (will only coat, not be absorbed into the deeper layers of the skin and hair) use jojoba oil, caster oil, hair grease, and shea butter. Jojoba oil chemically/structurally closely matches human sebum (the oils naturally produce by our skin and nails), so that along with castor oil due to its heavy texture are my favorite sealing oils. Hair grease (aka mostly petroleum) is also great at sealing hair as well. Almond oil is nice for hair as it is has both penetrating and sealing properties (it's not as penetrative as coconut and olive oil and doesn't lock it down and seal like jojoba and hair grease but it is light in texture and softens the hair. I like to use it to touch up my hair during mid-week refreshes or when styling it in general.
Thanks for explaining the use of coconut oil. It doesn't moisturize my hair (Shea butter does), so I stopped using it. However, because of your explanation I will start using it again.
I've actually had better results using an oil that didn't penetrate, because I need that oil to also help detangle. My go to oil... crisco. The slip is amazing.
You are so right. I'm guilty of most of them. Gotta do better. 4C hair is time consuming but I have to start making a day for it each week and sticking to it. I love my 4C hair though. Very versatile. Thanks for the info Jenn.
I think 4c hair is daunting when people try to do 5 hours on wash day. My weekly wash day is 30 minutes pre-poo, 5 minutes shampoo, 30 minutes deep condition and 20 minutes steam leave in's (this step is recommended by my trichologists) and 10 mins detangle and style in two or three. French braids. If I'm in a rush I skip the pre-poo and leave in steam. Because I detangle every week, I do not have a huge amount of tangles. I also style my hair in a way to reduce tangles.
That's so true 4c hair is a lot of work that sometimes I just wanna cut my hair off ugh. I give birth to a daughter and she have same type of hair as me and she hates when I do her hair doesnt matter if I use detangler spray to soften her hair.
You are reason why I started pre-pooing and washing my hair in sections. It has made such a difference! Wash day is much easier!! Thank you! I also finally got a trim the first time in two years!!! Lol
Recently did the big chop and I've been searching for natural hair videos. Type 4. Following your methods and thus far, its working. Currently have deep conditioner in my hair. And yes washing in sections... best thing ever
You are soo right about oiling your scalp too much. I wash every 2wks so only oil my scalp once the night before i wash my hair. During the week when i moisturise, i just spritz. My hair growth has improved tremendously!
Great tips. I started washing my hair in sections 3 months ago which was a game changer. I also took coconut oil out of my routine which did wonders for retaining moisture. Any cream or conditioner with coconut oil as one of the top ingredients made my hair dry. My hair has grown 3 inches in 3 months.
As soon as you mentioned deep condition, I literally switched the video off, went to wash my hair, and I’m currently sitting under the heat cap with my deep conditioner on now😂 thanks for the tips, I’m guilty of a few of these!!
Great tips! I'm still learning my hair. My hair was damaged many years ago and it has been a process growing it back. I definitely need a routine and finding the right products to help in the aid in growing it back.
All these apply to me, the only reason I let it go on for so long is because my hair has always naturally grown long. Plus i always do crazy styles, cut it short or put in braids or relax it. I never understood my hair or learned how to wash and moisture it (live in a majority white town) never knew what products to get or where to get them. But since I discovered your channel on Monday it really helped me and also inspired me to go for the big chop so I can start all over. Excited to go super short.
Oh you have hair that just grows and doesn't break no matter what you do. I have a friend like that. She does nothing and it grows 12 inches in a year..
2,4,5,8, and 10 I AM GUILTY🤦🏽♂️ I’ve been trying to grow my 4C hair for 7 years now😅 I switched from a metal pick to a plastic pick. And your video taught me new things I DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. Thanks once again🖤✨🙌🏽
I love your personality and your teaching! I am white, but I want to learn from YT rather than asking my Black friends about their hair. I have fine, straight dark hair going to gray and can french braid, but that's about it. I find your hair to be absolutely beautiful, your talent with twists, braids, and other styles is amazing, and I have really enjoyed learning from you. New sub! Thanks! :)
I'm so glad I found your video now I know how to take care of my hair. I had going through six big chops in my life. I do put the bonnet on every nightbut didn't deep condition my hair and only washed it with black soap. My hair grew much longer when I had locs vs. having an afro.
If you are tired of all those steps, take a shower at a separate time than when you're dealing with your hair. You don't have to stay uncomfortable in the shower, wet, tired, with oils from your hair on your back and body. No! Don't shower while taking care of your hair. You'll be better equipped to spend time on it if you're not bugged down by being naked and wet.
I feel like manipulation is a HUGE one because I’ve noticed that folks with 4C hair tend to feel the need to conform to other hair types. Focusing on health/moisture and just letting my hair do it’s thing has really allowed my hair to flourish ✨ The first time I big chopped I was doing wayyy too much haha.
4c hair is challenging in the beginning and my issue has always been retaining length but I am all about health first so I am not pressed about length. It is just hair to me. I am so so proud of myself for finding a routine for me and dedicating that day to myself. Girl I do my hair, nails, feet thats me time I always dedicate an entire day to me! I do all of these things and I just got a big trim I needed a fresh fresh start had alot of uneven stragly ends with a long ass tail in the back. I told home girl to chop it off and I will let it flow and grow. Growing your hair is always easy retaining length whilst keeping it healthy can be challenging at times. Cut them ends!!!! Sooner than later.Very helpful video. 👏👌💯
YESS YESS YESSS!!! ME TOO! I play music, do my skin care, hair care, mental health check! The whole package. It may not be for everyone, but the ones that enjoy it, its a must! x
@@JennJackson I enjoy it so much honeyyyyy I Iook forward to wash days lol. Going fully natural (I didnt get relaxers but I always kept my hair pressed) is the best, the absolute best, stress free, nourishing and overall self discovering choice Ive made so far and I love it!!!👏👌💯💕
The love you have for yourself and just exuding confidence is so beautiful, you know you’re beauty and that’s something to be admired like period y’all can’t tell ha NOTHING y’all hear me don’t play with her because she knows her worth
Low porosity hair should always use heat when deep conditioning. It helps to open up the hair cuticles / shaft, so the hair can accept whatever you're putting on it. Also combing your hair while it's still soaking wet leads to breakage. Natural hair is it's most fragile when it soaking wet and extremely dry(dry as in no moisture and or lubrication for the hair strands) . It's better to detangle the hair ( in my opinion and from what I saw a licensed cosmetologist recommend ) when it's coated in an oil that penetrates the hair and lubricates the strands. I've tried this method and have had way, way less hair come out while I'm detangling my hair. I'll comb my hair when it's damp with product in it but never soaking wet. Not anymore at least.
I thinks it crazy cuz I watch 4c growth videos because the sides of my hair is the only part of my hair that’s 4c and it breaks off so easily. Thanks for this! ❤️
Jenn You’re looking so cute! I just started using avocado oil sometimes mixed with castor oil to seal the moisture. When I say game changer! Hair stays moisturized so much longer. I just learned to remoisturize before it gets completely dry too. The breakage has practically stopped altogether! I used to moisturize after wash routine only and my hair would be shedding and breaking by day 3. I swear by avocado oil
I'm guilty of not deep conditioning enough, not moisturizing enough and just being lazy and not caring for my hair as far as more consistent wash days. Ugh! Great video!
Hi jenn ....I tried adding glycerin to my oil for pre poo ....,and GIRLLLLLLLLLLLL the moisture benefits was out of this world You should really try it
I'm going to try silk pillowcases because i have comfort issues with textures, etc... I can't keep anything tied around my head without getting tension headaches or discomfort. Light bonnets work sometimes but they slip off easily.
Great video. I’m proud that I follow all these steps AND I’m retaining length. That being said, what brand lipstick and color is that???? It’s very flattering on you.
I follow all except the washing in sections. But I never have major tangles or knots. Maybe because I remove shed hairs daily, keep my hair stretched most of the week and detangle with two seamless combs weekly.
Moon thank you so much although I’ve never had a perm I do wonder what it does to your hair my mom used to get those when she was younger and refuses to do it to my hair I just keep my hair in box braids
I have bald patches over my head due to letting the wrong person do my hair and also my naivety in not knowing how to care for it. I’m intrigued to know what you used to recover your little patch? Definitely need the trim video. I’m halfway to looking like Cynthia (Angelica’s doll) from the rugrats 🤣
Lmaoo I’m sorry to laugh but the Rugrats reference took me out. Honestly patience and care! I wish I could say a specific product but I protective styles and care for my hair weekly! Do the same and you will see results ❤️
Excellent video, lady I hit the like button before you were even finished. Looking at eyebuydirect right now, what is the name of your glasses? Yes, I like them that much. I followed your video and started using a moisturizing shampoo and it definitely helps. Thank you!
Depending on the length and your type of hair. I have 4c hair porosity super fine strands. Once I keep the water and my hair flowing in one direction forward or back I don't get too many tangles. This however does not work for a lot of people. Some do 6 twists in all and some use clips. I've done it before and I don't think it made things harder.
I did that once, before my big chop. It took me over an hour. I am not doing that again. I felt like my arms were going to come off. So I detangle before I wash and when I condition and deep condition. I personally lose less hair that way, but do what works best for you.
I put my hair in 4 sections and detangle in the shower with a detangling comb. Each section takes less than 5 minutes and my hair is long. The trick is to keep the water constantly flowing on your hair; makes it easier to get the tangles out
My hair has grown just from leaving it the hell alone lol. She doesn't want to be bothered. I do need to find a good deep conditioning/moisturizer routine for my hair though because it's low porosity and my scalp gets build-up
I love the channel "22nd century natural woman". She has a tight texture (don't know about 4c, though) and super long hair. I don't believe for one minute it can't be done. But I see a lot of people with 4c hair trimming all the time (dusting, but it's more like taking an inch off every 2 months). That's the reason it's not growing right there. Hair only grows 6 inches a year, if you trim too much, there goes all that growth! You don't have to trim the entire head if you have a couple splits, there is such a thing as the search and destroy method ("S&D method"). You take that split and cut above it, and you go through the hair like that. No need for a trim at all.
i oil my hair one time a week i wash my hair in sections i condition and twist it up my hair just want grow i do not negotiate.my i give it love i moisture my hair i have been doing the twist for three years and it just want grow
Hi Jen! Have you ever tried manukau honey,avocado and olive oil mixture for a deep conditioner? The recipe said use pumpkin oil,but it was too expensive. I splurged and paid 20 something for the manukau honey from Whole Foods! Then I came across the same product cheaper at “Marshalls”.......ugh!
Guilty from the first point😭😭this happens mostly when I have braids on, I just get lazy, I literally moisturize once a week not even thoroughly, I'm thinking of taking them out because it's almost a month now but I'm not ready to see my hair🙆♀️🙆♀️not ready to wash, deep condition, trim😑😑I'm not ready for anything, I need a miracle🤭
New here love your content and definitely looking forward to learning more from you!💕 This natural hair journey has a mind of her own & will let you know what she wants and needs if you're paying attention..beware she will come for you if you don't pamper her or give her some tlc!😆😉
I definitely fall under the lazy category. I felt so attacked watching this because everything you said is definitely me it's so me and I don't know how to not be lazy. I'm new to having natural hair so everything even twist outs is a new thing for me.
Hii i really need a reply from any girls with natural hair like me. I am 12 and my hat hasn’t been growing for yearssss like i feel like it hasn’t grown at all and i have a white mother that didn’t wanna learn how too braid bc it’s not her problem and i’m just here with dry nappy hair and i always wash my hair i don’t have a routine i don’t even know if i have split ends and i just get weave all the time because i’m insecure and i don’t have any moisture it’s so stressful and i feel like nothing is working i was even gonna try msm and that has side effects and it’s not worth it and i don’t have much black friends because i live in a white neighborhood so nobody can help me and give me tips it’s really hard:/ so can anyone give me tips or help?
Jennnn girl!! Read usss lol Ngl my hair is flourishing currently as I reached my hair goal without necessarily trying 😂 when I took out my braids and girl I was shook! Routine is everything. Also this look😍😍
I won't let mine grow because I am obsessed with short hair. I stay at the barbershop. The funny thing is my hair grows fast and its thick. If I didn't cut it I would have the biggest fro within a year's time.
I can't be too lazy with my hair. It needs a lot of maintenance. So I only wear these styles most of the time: puff or two or three French braids and/or headwrap.
Same. Same. same. Super lazy, no routine, protective style ie box braids like 24/7. Just do whatever I feel but I leave it alone most of the time and I think it's growing
1) @ 1:18 - No bonnet
2) 2:05 - No hair routine
3) 3:01 - Not washing in sections
4) 3:45 - Not deep conditioning
5) 4:55 - Dry hair/not enough moisture
6) 5:42 - Pores suffocating
7) 6:32 - Not pre-pooing
8) 7:40 - Don't know your hair porosity
9) 8:03 - You don't trim your hair
10) 9:15 - You're breaking your hair
But you didn't finish lol

Preepooing is a game changer. Would definitely recommend🥰 when you pre poo you get less breakage and your washday is so much easier!
Ziwase Wonani agree sometimes I forget.👧🏾
Yes. But recently I’ve noticed that there is a white residue that wasn’t there before so I don’t know if it’s my conditioner I use during pre poo or what.

You’re looking so cute! I just started using avocado oil sometimes mixed with castor oil to seal the moisture. When I say game changer! Hair stays moisturized so much longer. I just learned to remoisturize before it gets completely dry too. The breakage has practically stopped altogether! I used to moisturize after wash routine only and my hair would be shedding and breaking by day 3. I swear by avocado oil
Thanks for sharing! I couldn't agree more - we need to be on TOP of moisturizing our hair. Not only moisturize when it has ALREADY dried out. x
Girl, let's talk about these glasses
Right? I linked it in the description box since everyone wants to know
I'm guilty of not deep conditioning enough, not moisturizing enough and just being lazy and not caring for my hair as far as more consistent wash days. Ugh! Great video!
The more you know, the more you can change those bad habits ❤️❤️
@@JennJackson Yes girl!
Thanks for tips. Much appreciated. Please spill the tea on where you got your glasses. I absolutely ❤️❤️ them!
Thank you! There is a link in the description box ❤️
loooooove ur energy 😂🤣. Allow me to say this is the best and more relatable hair vid I´ve ever dived in to. Thnkx sis. 💘
Hi jenn ....I tried adding glycerin to my oil for pre poo ....,and GIRLLLLLLLLLLLL the moisture benefits was out of this world
You should really try it
This is my first time on your channel, love your spirit. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
So True! I have been guilty of all these lolol. THESE are great reminders to be attentive to our long natural hair. Agreed, SELF CARE, Love!
I got my routine down! And I get the deva cut. I, personally, prefer it and you do it every 3-6 months.
Hey Lisa! ❤️❤️❤️
@@JennJackson ❤️❤️
I like your delivery friendly, straight forward, my hair works well with the things you mention, I find sweet almond oil works best
Thank you! x
Hey Jenn love the vid! You look gorgeous, would you mind sharing your lipstick brand/shade. Thanks! 😊
Its from Juvias Place called TAYTU. love it!
The tips, the makeup , the facial expressions , THE HEADWRAP ! 🤩🤩✨👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 amazing video
Thank you so much!!
THANKS for sharing this information about 4C hair.. not that we don't know but it's good to hear it from time to time.
I'm going to try silk pillowcases because i have comfort issues with textures, etc... I can't keep anything tied around my head without getting tension headaches or discomfort. Light bonnets work sometimes but they slip off easily.
New subby! Thank you for all the tips! I need to start taking care of my hair more. Can’t wait for the trim schedule video, love!
Great video. I’m proud that I follow all these steps AND I’m retaining length. That being said, what brand lipstick and color is that???? It’s very flattering on you.
I follow all except the washing in sections. But I never have major tangles or knots. Maybe because I remove shed hairs daily, keep my hair stretched most of the week and detangle with two seamless combs weekly.
It’s from @juviasplace called Taytu! So happy we are growing this hair together ❤️
Removing shedded hair is key ❤️
Sis, you are popping. Hair, skin, everythingggggg😭✨
Thank youuuu
Lol I'm just in love with your camera personality. Enjoy these videos.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for these tips! Your Entire look is beautiful! I am especially feeling the headwrap!
Thank you 🙏
You're welcome! 😃
Hey theeeerrrreee! Nice video, nice content, nice headwrap, glasses, lipstick everything ❤❤❤. Thumbs up love, thumbs up 👍
Thank you so much 🤗
Washing in sections has been the biggest game changer for me, so much less breakage 😎
EXACTLY! I keep saying it but their aren't paying attention in the back!
Would you be kind enough to do a tutorial in this make up look, I have similar skin color as you but I am pretty bad with my make up skills
My mom and me have different hair types so I’m guilty of all of these it’s still kinda long but it’s been the same length since I was seven I’m 13 now
Moon thank you so much although I’ve never had a perm I do wonder what it does to your hair my mom used to get those when she was younger and refuses to do it to my hair I just keep my hair in box braids
Thank you so much for teaching us this 😄I am trying to start a fresh start with my hair so thank you for all these tips I need new hair peridot
I have bald patches over my head due to letting the wrong person do my hair and also my naivety in not knowing how to care for it. I’m intrigued to know what you used to recover your little patch? Definitely need the trim video. I’m halfway to looking like Cynthia (Angelica’s doll) from the rugrats 🤣
I'd say see a dermatologist or a trichologist first.
Lmaoo I’m sorry to laugh but the Rugrats reference took me out. Honestly patience and care! I wish I could say a specific product but I protective styles and care for my hair weekly! Do the same and you will see results ❤️
Your makeup is gorgeous !!! I’m still learning make up what lip color do you use !
The guilt of me watching this JJ. Loved this! Love your personality too.
Lol right? I was throwing shade on myself too 😂😂
Love this! I learned so much 💛 I didn’t even know what porosity or 4C hair was
So glad ❤️
Excellent video, lady I hit the like button before you were even finished. Looking at eyebuydirect right now, what is the name of your glasses? Yes, I like them that much. I followed your video and started using a moisturizing shampoo and it definitely helps. Thank you!
Omds I’m 50 seconds in and I love your personality 😂😂😂😂😂
Yay!! x
@@JennJackson your personality is the best. I feel like my best friend is advising aka dragging me 🤣🤣
You called me out on the oil one. But my oils are super light, like dollar tree oils and that on my parts and I use caster oils on my ends.
Wtf is pre pooing and how exactly does that help my hair
That washing your hair in sections though sounds really time consuming, but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tips
Depending on the length and your type of hair. I have 4c hair porosity super fine strands. Once I keep the water and my hair flowing in one direction forward or back I don't get too many tangles. This however does not work for a lot of people. Some do 6 twists in all and some use clips. I've done it before and I don't think it made things harder.
You can as well do it in two sections,works for me
I did that once, before my big chop. It took me over an hour. I am not doing that again. I felt like my arms were going to come off. So I detangle before I wash and when I condition and deep condition. I personally lose less hair that way, but do what works best for you.
I put my hair in 4 sections and detangle in the shower with a detangling comb. Each section takes less than 5 minutes and my hair is long. The trick is to keep the water constantly flowing on your hair; makes it easier to get the tangles out
It honestly doesn't. Try it out and see. I also have a few videos on how I do it and I even TIMED it once.
My hair has grown just from leaving it the hell alone lol. She doesn't want to be bothered. I do need to find a good deep conditioning/moisturizer routine for my hair though because it's low porosity and my scalp gets build-up
Yesss! Low manipulation is key!
I love the channel "22nd century natural woman". She has a tight texture (don't know about 4c, though) and super long hair. I don't believe for one minute it can't be done. But I see a lot of people with 4c hair trimming all the time (dusting, but it's more like taking an inch off every 2 months). That's the reason it's not growing right there. Hair only grows 6 inches a year, if you trim too much, there goes all that growth! You don't have to trim the entire head if you have a couple splits, there is such a thing as the search and destroy method ("S&D method"). You take that split and cut above it, and you go through the hair like that. No need for a trim at all.
Absolutely. Trimming doesn’t mean you cutting every 2 months 😩
Honestly true. So would you prefer to get under the drier for at least 10mins when deep conditioning or air dry for 10mins?
I think it’s cute how you pronounce deep (dip)‼️
Yesss, another great video & I'm guilty of most of these...wooo sahh!! Thanks Jenn :)
Lol girllll we can change all of that ❤️
Didn’t even make it 30 seconds before subscribing. Love your personality! ❤️

Hi Jen! Have you ever tried manukau honey,avocado and olive oil mixture for a deep conditioner?
The recipe said use pumpkin oil,but it was too expensive.
I splurged and paid 20 something for the manukau honey from Whole Foods!
Then I came across the same product cheaper at “Marshalls”.......ugh!
Guilty from the first point😭😭this happens mostly when I have braids on, I just get lazy, I literally moisturize once a week not even thoroughly, I'm thinking of taking them out because it's almost a month now but I'm not ready to see my hair🙆♀️🙆♀️not ready to wash, deep condition, trim😑😑I'm not ready for anything, I need a miracle🤭
New here love your content and definitely looking forward to learning more from you!💕 This natural hair journey has a mind of her own & will let you know what she wants and needs if you're paying attention..beware she will come for you if you don't pamper her or give her some tlc!😆😉
I definitely fall under the lazy category. I felt so attacked watching this because everything you said is definitely me it's so me and I don't know how to not be lazy. I'm new to having natural hair so everything even twist outs is a new thing for me.
Jenn with her “ohhhhhh” cracked me up every time
LOL x
Hii i really need a reply from any girls with natural hair like me. I am 12 and my hat hasn’t been growing for yearssss like i feel like it hasn’t grown at all and i have a white mother that didn’t wanna learn how too braid bc it’s not her problem and i’m just here with dry nappy hair and i always wash my hair i don’t have a routine i don’t even know if i have split ends and i just get weave all the time because i’m insecure and i don’t have any moisture it’s so stressful and i feel like nothing is working i was even gonna try msm and that has side effects and it’s not worth it and i don’t have much black friends because i live in a white neighborhood so nobody can help me and give me tips it’s really hard:/ so can anyone give me tips or help?
Jennnn girl!! Read usss lol Ngl my hair is flourishing currently as I reached my hair goal without necessarily trying 😂 when I took out my braids and girl I was shook! Routine is everything. Also this look😍😍
Great informative video. I don't see a link for the headwrap.
I won't let mine grow because I am obsessed with short hair. I stay at the barbershop. The funny thing is my hair grows fast and its thick. If I didn't cut it I would have the biggest fro within a year's time.
Dropping allll the gems! You were cracking me up the whole time. 😂
Lol ❤️❤️
I'm one of those who do not have a routine, I just do whatever, whenever lol I'm super lazy with my hair
I can't be too lazy with my hair. It needs a lot of maintenance. So I only wear these styles most of the time: puff or two or three French braids and/or headwrap.
I always say to do what works ❤️
Same. Same. same.
Super lazy, no routine, protective style ie box braids like 24/7. Just do whatever I feel but I leave it alone most of the time and I think it's growing
Y'all, check out ultrablack hair products. The key is to moisturize to retain length
