A game changer for me is in handling my hair. When I remember to treat my hair like a delicate flower and not like a weed changed the game for me. 😊

My game changer is putting a plastic cap on after I apply my leave in conditioner for 15 minutes. This process leaves my hair soft and moisturized.

I have been struggling with dryness FOR THE LONGEST TIME but I recently switched from using castor oil to hair grease for sealing in moisture and my hair is ✨THRIVING✨❤️❤️ My hair now retains moisture for more than 3 days and the breakage that I used to experience has decreases tremendously ❤️🔥

A game changer for my hp hair was protein treatments. Sometimes you need to improve the hair itself rather than just coating it if you want better moisture retention.

The game changer for me is knowing my moisture cycle of every three days making sure I moisturize on that schedule every time, drinking lots is water, and getting my rest each night, and eating healthier. Tyfs these awesome tips.

The game changer for me is locking in moisture and "freezing" my ends with flaxseed gel. This keeps my hair moisturized for days but more importantly it protects my ends from extreme dryness, frizz and breakage. I ddddrench my ends with flaxseed gel then seal them up with my whipped butter. I then make sure I put them up and away from brushing on my clothes. Has helped me retain my length too.

Grease has been a game changer for me ever since I started using it again after realizing my mom ALWAYS used it on my hair and I see why lol

thanks for sharing, I am hipo been natural for 2years and struggled to keep moisture for more than a day or 2. now I am so happy that I started using grease (blue magic) I apply my diy flax leave-in and seal it with grease OMG WHAT A MAGIC POTION.

I would love a tutorial on how to create daily fall to winter ❄️ hydration routine please and thank you

My game changer to lock in moisture is LCO then plaiting it up and leaving until wash day (once/wk). As long as i don't pull out the plaits, it stays moist. This works for me at this time since I am still working from home.

I am super-excited 😉 when I see you drop a new video! Still trying to figure out this moisturizing thing but washing more frequently is probably my game changer.

Keeping a routine and understanding my hair needs to be moisturised every couple of days

Game changer for me to combat dryness was rebelling against natural hair influencers saying not to leave deep conditioner in my hair, I live in the desert and fall/winter seasons are COLD I left design essentials rosemary and mint conditioner in my hair and it hasn’t been dry ever since! 🤙🏽

Thx, I appreciate the context you bring!

I am so glad i subscribed to your channel because you not only give tips but use science to explain why we should do certain things and that is just everything to me. I can't believe this is free information. Thank you.

Grate for you. Your knowledge sharing has made an incredible difference in my hair journey. Thank you.

Game changer for me was when I started seeing my ends daily and soak them nightly with my organic amla oil and every morning my end mimick a fresh cut even though it's been months since I've trimmed😊😉

I would like to testify that sectioning my hair is definitely a healthy part of my hair care routine. I also sleep in a satin bonnet and trim my spilt ends and single strand knots as I notice them. I try not to tear my hair ever. I stop and try to figure out how it is tangled before proceeding with the detangling process.

I love using hair grease as sealant twist looks fantastic

I’m in love with your With your platform one you have taught me so much about growing my hair like I told you before my hair was so damage the whole front of my Hair was gone so I appreciate you so so much because every time you upload a video if I don’t watch it that day I will watch you love your platform thank you

Very informative. I appreciate the advice.

Aloe vera changed my hair from thinning and a dry, lifeless appearance to thicker, healthier, bouncy and moisturized. I grow my own. Also periodic use of straight onion juice. By the way I have salt and pepper natural hair worn in loose twists mostly.

LOC method all the way. Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤

I always enjoy your videos. I started using a mango butter cream and sealed at the end and my hair transformed to being moisturized. I’m low porosity.

Can you please do a video about hair thickness and thinness? You are one of the KZfaqrs I trust love your content about natural hair thanks 🙏

My game changer has been the Luster’s Scurl Curl Activator spray. I apply it as the liquid before applying leave in. Then I seal with the Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey pomade, which is also another staple. I also use the spray on my braids and to refresh my hair between wash days. As for creamy leave ins, I’m not brand loyal but I prefer ones with silicones and protein. My medium to high porosity fine hair also loves protein treatments. I use the Aphogee reconstructor every other week and the Aphogee strengthening kit every 2-3 months or when I do braids. It leaves my hair feeling strong yet soft and elastic. And I feel like I retain more moisture.

Love the video. We always get such valuable information from your videos. I have a question though. Can you recommend hair combing/brushing tools that are antistatic please?

I’m new to your guidance and informative updates (lol) and just wanted you to know, LOVE IT!!!!

JBCO, pomades are great for sealing moisture on my hp hair, my DIY Fenugreek spray with parsley, clove and peppermint oil and yes, sections and combing then twist or braids using water based creams all have helped me with increased growth and retention.

Great to know!!! I am old fashion! Water and hair grease works best for me!!

Awesome video 👍 I started using an oil pre-poo but I heat it up before I use it so my LP hair can absorb it better. Also I’m incorporating a curling cream in my wash ‘n’ go routine and not just jumping straight to gel after applying my Leave-in. Game changers 😀

This is the 2nd time this week that I have heard about "moisture overload". Growing up, my hair would soak up moisturizer so quickly so I always thought that the overly soft, "limp" texture after moisturizing was good to help retain the moisture within a protective style. I know very little about true haircare and am learning sooo much.

I love, love, love, love my DIY Aloe Vera Gel and FLAXSEED Gel. If you have more information to share about these DIY gels I would appreciate that so much! How to Preserve, how long to keep them, application for treatment and styling with these gels. Thanks for all you do and share with this community.

My game changer in keeping my hair moist is using a clarifying shampoo for my first wash, then using design essentials honey creme shampoo and conditioner and sealing with a hair grease ( carol’s daughter mimosa honey).

I noticed that when i prepoo my low porosity hair, my hair can stay moisturize for over 3 weeks... no products added... And i also think because my leave in conditioner is great... Great videos friend

My game changer has been sealing with Blue Magic. My mom used Ultra Sheen when I was growing up. It was good but Blue Magic works much better on my hair.

I’ve started using your PMP method and alternating with scalp massages with oil. I think it is working well for me so far

Using Bentonite Clay once a year before I was wash my hair has been a game changer for me aswell. My hair has a nice shine to it, and I found it much easier to run the comb through it, without having to fight with my hair lol.

Just on time with a new video when I'm about to wash my hair Thank you 😭❤️❤️

My hair loves steam. I incorporate steam in my pre poo or whenever I need to detangle. My hair also loves Etae’s Carmel treatment. Leaves my hair very moisturized.

Hi! First, thanks for the recommendations. I use aloe vera gel (lily of the desert) , leave in (mielle pomegranate and honey) and I let it sit in with a plastic bag for a couple minutes.

My game changer is being intentional and caring for my hair like a baby. It grows like crazy now that I am gentle and thoughtful. I just have to be disciplined on the regular maintenance schedule. Busy life with a 15 year old and a 1 year old that wants to sprint for the Olympics. Can you provide recommendations on clean toddler natural hair care and products?

Thank you for this video.. I’m luvin Almond and Avocado oil 🥰💙💕

My coarse low porosity hair strands love olive oil, honey🍯and hair grease. 😌👌🏾

Steaming under a hooded steamer and adding Ayurveda into my regimen has been the game changer for me.

Hello! Love your videos. They are extremely informative and helpful. I have low porosity thin hair and unfortunately I am menopausal. I'm fighting grey' breakage and shedding. I haven't seen you do any videos on safe ingredients in hair color or if it's safe to brush our hair. Please advise!!!!!!

The best example of moisturizing your skin when you get out of shower/bath slather yourself with cream and then smooth on some oil atop that. No ash for a day. Do the same damn thing with your hair. Great video as always. P.S. My game changer was to prepoo with infused onion/garlic oil with massage then a bit of steam with a plastic cap. Literally after three months my fine hair was not only thicker at the roots but longer. I also realize different quadrants of your hair grows at differing speeds.

My high porosity hair is in love with carol’s daughter enhancing moisture butter & I seal with blue magic grease

Pre-pooing, co-washing instead of shampooing too often and deep conditioning has helped me with retaining moisture

Definitely pre-pooing has been such a game changer

I've been adding s. curl gel with lot's of glycerin in it and sealing with Ors hair lotion. It's keeping my strands hydrated near a week with less breakage on wash day.

5:12 For the list of hair oils for the different high and low hair porosities.

My game changer is definitely ayurveda. The strengthening treatments help my high porosity hair retain moisture for longer. Also using teas in place of water also helps 👌🏾

Could you please do a tutorial on natural grey hair care. How to strengthen grey brittle hair, retain length and how tame wiry fly aways. Thank you and God bless.

Good video. Thanks

Sectioning 👀👀👀🤣🤣 I tried to avoid it because it’s exhausting. But my hair behaves soooo much better

Thanks to your suggestion on one of your previous videos, I tried using Kuzu Beeswax Hair/Braid Conditioner as a sealant when I style my hair. I LOVE IT!! Also, use it mid-week to add moisture. I totally have noticed a difference. God Bless you Tonya for your knowledge and your gift you bestow upon us.😍

My holy grail leave-in/moisturizer is from the dollar tree (Who Knew!). My hair ❤️ the Salon Selectivea Frizz control leave-in (blue and white tube). It delivers an Entire experience Each and Every time I use it! It plays nicely with any other products I use as well (butters, oils, grease or moisturizers). Can't say enuf about this stuff!

Can u plz make a tutorial video on how to moisturize the scalp? Im having trouble with that

Using TreLuxe products is a game changer for me. I got 10 solid days of moisture my using the Untie the Knot alone❤️

Hey Tonya. Can you do a video on how to keep straight hair moisturized between washes (if that's even possible since water is moisture) cause the winter months are coming and some of us will be straightening our hair??

The PMP method has been a game changer for me! I hadn't used grease in years but my hair retains moisture with it. Thank you!! ❤️

Deep conditioning Especially when I first started this natural hair journey.i definitely notice the difference when I didn't at all..as well as products that detangles well

I'm a short natural so curl activator works well for moisturizing my hair.

I tried the oatmeal hair rinse and that made a real difference in my hair. Will start using that rinse more often. Question, is this a protein rinse.

You're hair is beautiful 😍❤️ and so are you ❤

Mine is Ivie...this moisturizer loves my high porosity thin hair. The ingredients are amazing in this cream and I love that it has fenugreek and MSM in it

I used to love ahpogee to get my hair together. That was until I discovered curlsmith’s bonding treatment. It is so good, less messy, and a breeze to apply. You should try it out sis. Love the analogy you gave about moisturizing your plants with oil💜🥰🦋🙏🏿

I find Cream of Nature Argan Oil, Moisture Revovery Leave-in Curl Milk to keep my low porosity hair moisturizes for 2-3 days.

Blessings everyone I have one pet -peeve about all this hair car tips etc., back in the day we had very long hair and we never had to do all these things that we are doing today we washed dry, greased and hot comb pressed our hair if that's what we wanted as a style and this was the norm. U just want something very simple as a routine I think less is better.

Going back to grease has been a game changer for me 🙏🏼 I have thick high density LP hair and moisturizing wasn’t too much of a problem for me but retaining that moisture was hard until I found a good sealant (thanks to the PMP method video). Thank you so much for helping me learn my natural hair more, I appreciate you 🌹❤️

Yaaaay!! Hey, Curly Girlie!!! 🥰

Melanin Leave-in Conditioner and Melanin Hair Oil, also Ecoslay Banana Conditioner. Steaming and then applying leave in, let absorb a few minutes then seal. If I do this after shampooing my hair stays moisturized for at least 3- 4 days.

My game changer was technique. I now comb/brush FROM THE ROOT to tip after thoroughly detangling. As I apply product, I brush it through to make sure every strand is coated. I also have learned to put my product all the way from root to tip... like for real. And I wasn't using enough product. When I tell you game changer? I mean my hair grew 3/4" in just under one month! All I changed was technique - Not product. My hair is thriving and beautiful! Oh. And I seal with Mimosa Hair Honey. Boom! :)

Defintely seen improvements in moisture and overall hair health since I introduced ayurveda into my regimen!

My game changer is hemp oil... I've tried avocado, oil, sweet almond, jojoba, castor... They were all "meh", but hemp seed is the truth! This alongside thwith the camille rose coconut leave-in. I'm high/medium porosity btw

could do a video on how to moisturize the hair between washdays?

My hair and I are LOVING the Blue Magic hair grease. Makes all the difference!!! Better curls, definition, and seals in the moisture like crazy!!! Thank you for confirming what was in my spirit!

Also to point out, oils give nutrients to hair as well as coats. Hydration should come internally, drinking liquids, raw plant/fruit diet. I’ve learned to use oils in place of lotion for skin. I use tea or water when mixing in. Like hair products, lotion dries up worse than it began and makes skin dependent. Lotion and hair products just try to bind moisture with oils and butters and if I can do that without the added possible damaging chemicals... I’ve been learning that these market products can make hair fragile with certain ingredients so the product can penetrate and can cause damage to the hair. The healthier hair comes from folk who use less product and there’a more to it than them not needing it. What’s been helpful in moisture was spraying lavender and chamomile brewed water in my hair. I’m growing my own herbs and brew them for teas and skincare. I found that these acted like a softening refresher or a light leave in. The hydration lasted long as well. Then I found many women spraying lavender in their hair and enjoying the benefits. For oils my go to, is the obvious jojoba which mimics skin oil closer than other oils and absorbs very well. It’s actually more of a wax than an oil structurally. I use this predominantly with small portions of other oils like avocado, coconut and almond. If you are going to put an oil in your hair, it should be small amount. I also notice we drown our hair in oil, in the way use market moisturizers and that’s also a mistake. If you wouldn’t do it for your skin, you probably shouldn’t do that for your hair, depending on your skins dryness level. The good ole water and grease was on to something. Water and oil can have great results with tweaking and not over-saturating. I also learned that dryness isn’t normal either. Check the products you are using, look into the ingredients and figure out what works but your hair. My dry scalp with 3b-3c hair, at medium porosity does not prefer the extra stuff. I find my teas more helpful. Also my sons locs are growing like crazy , out of nowhere since I started making my own herbal sprays. I’ve seen folk using rosemary brew as a leave in and it’s something I’m going to start trying to grow.

Can you do a thorough video on how to repair hair from moisture overload?

Thank you for all of your amazing tips. Love your videos. I prepoo my hair before I wish it. Using my own oil that I made. And I use Hollywood beauty Jojoba oil and Liv hairdressing grease. It makes my hair shiny, manageable and looking great. I also use Aunt Jackie oh la la Curl Custard. It makes my hair so shiny. Love and Light to you, Curly Chemistry, and everyone here. ❤️❤️🙏🙏☮️☮️

After I do my LOC method, I wear a conditioning cap for about 15 to 20 minutes to lock in the moisture.

Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video on how is the best way to get your hair detangled so you don't lose a lot of hair and time. My last wash day I decided to finally make sure I have clean parts. That took the entire day. Please give any tips you can.

Your PMP method changed the game for me.

Luv your channel!!! The game changer for me as a high porosity curly has been to incorporate products with ceramides and silicones back in. My hair is thriving.

Tanya! could you please do a video on different hair breakage (crown, nape, edges, etc.)?

I was waiting for this video

A good leave in conditioner is a game changer for moisture.

Shea butter and beeswax. I use the LOC method, but the butter feels like it evaporate by the next morning, so I use beeswax to lock everything in. Pre-pooing overnight before washing my hair as well.

Ur hair is gorgeous...can u please tell me what hair you used for that style....and are they twist?

I think the game changer for retaining moisture has been not being afraid to wet my hair daily or every other day. Once I obtained a good protein moisture balance my hair started to sort of redefine itself after I’d wet it in the shower or with a spray bottle.

I swear by bentonite clay and gelatin weekly when it comes to moisturizing my hair. I don't know why, but my hair is prone to becoming over moisturized even though it's low porosity, so on damp hair (usually done with a spray bottle of water and some tea tree oil) I apply a homemade oil mix (usually coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, and occasionally carrot or avocado oil, infused with a bunch of stimulating herbs like rosemary, ginseng, peppermint, fenugrek and too many more to list) and let it sit for 20 mins or so before applying bentonite clay mixed with acv, aloe, marshmallow root powder, more lavender and tea tree oil and more oil mix. The oil seems to help make my hair slightly less hydrophilic, and the clay cleanses my hair without stripping it and loosens up my curl pattern slightly. After I rinse that out I mix a tbs of gelatin with a bit of water until it starts to bloom, then add in about a half cup of conditioner, apply that and let it sit a bit, then rinse it with tea and water (I read somewhere that tea rinses help restore the hairs natural ph, but honestly I just do it because I like pouring jasmine tea on my head, lol). The gelatin not only serves as a source of protein, but also significantly reduces the amount of frizz. It sounds like a lot but I can get away with moisturizing my hair throughout the week a lot less, and as well as it works on my type 4 hair, it also works wonders on type 3 hair as well (I did it to a friend's type 3 hair and she was super pleased with the results). Then I moisturize with a light leave in, and seal with Black seed oil and sulfur 8 grease or the Coconut blue magic. It's definitely a weekend thing, but having a spa day for your hair is a nice way to fit in some self care while doing something necessary and beneficial for your hair health. I've done it for probably at least 5 years and have never had as moisturized or shiny hair in my life until I started doing this!

A game changer for me was I stopped co washing and went back to shampoo.

What is a great moisturizer for dreadlocks.!!!💯💯

Steaming has changed the game for me. I steam in my deep conditioner, and after rinsing and towel drying for about 15-20 mins, I spray aloe vera juice (homemade) and use whatever leave-in I choose that wash day, because it may be homemade or store bought depending on if I have homemade readily available, and I put on a shower cap and sit under the dryer about 10-20 mins. My hair's completely hydrated and moisturized after that. I deep condition every wash day. I then add my cream (TGIN Daily Moisturizing Cream) and my homemade whipped butter, which changes ingredients depending upon what my hair needs that wash day. I typically braid my hair in cornrows and leave it alone for up to 3 weeks. I'll oil my scalp, but my hair's still moisturized when I do decide to wash it again. And because I can stretch wash days by up to 10 more days than normal, my hair's really grown so much more too. I had lots of breakage in my crown section, and it's growing out FAST because I'm mostly leaving it alone. I'm low porosity and once that moisture is in for me, it's really in there!

Pre-pooing and deep conditioning has been a game changer for me. But since it's getting cooler, I have to moisturize mid week now.

Lmao! me with thick growing hair who just ordered 3 hair oils only one of which is in the video.....lol...i do the two strand twists though. Great vid!

I'm still scared to use oils for anything besides a hot oil treatment BUT I tried grease recently on just my ends for a braid out then I used it for mini twists my scalp did not itch nor flake like with oil, frizz left me. shine & retained moisture came in for a month.😍 I've noticed grease washes out more easily than oil for me 🤔. Sectioning the hair makes styling, detangling, washing and conditioning so much faster.

Great tips! Especially the moisture cycle

I wonder what’s the difference between leave in and moisturizer. And whether I should use liquid sprays or creams to moisturize my hair .
