You are so beautiful!! I'm a cosmetic formulator and what she's referring to when she says moisture from the air, formulators use humectants such as glycerin, honeyquat, 1,3 Propendial, etc. Now here is the tricky thing if a person lives in an harsh environment, the air can actually draw that water back out of the hair, which causes frizz! This is why film formers are so important to lock in the moisture from the air which we use humectants. This is why film formers like petrolatum, aka grease which ppl hate these days and a silicone called dimethicone are important to lock in that moisture from the air, to help reduce frizz. & Yes coconut oil penetrates into the scalp because it is an monounsaturated, but it is very comedogenic, which can work against the dermal papilla which is responsible for our hair receiving its nutrients and oxygen which helps with hair growth & water is not just used as a solvent but to moisturize as well, because emollients are used to make the hair soft which ppl confuse with moisturization.

I really liked her video because she brought home the point that what someone feels as dry hair could literally just be their natural hair texture. I feel in the natural hair community, a big reason why people are obsessed with heavy butters and oils is because they override the cottony/bumpy texture that a lot of naturals have. Conditioning agents make our hair feel smooth and look shinier than it might naturally be, and we’ve come to associate those traits with being moisturized or healthy. We’re well into the natural hair movement yet we’re still being sold often unattainable hair goals in the form of shiny, perfectly spiralled curls. Of course, many of us can achieve that look by using method such as shingling but that can be so time consuming and is ultimately unnecessary. It’s good to know that my frizzy curls have just as, and potentially even more “moisture” then my perfectly styled curls.

Sarah: "Too much protein blocks water from getting into your hair (supposedly)" Afope: "If you think or have ever thought that protein stops your hair from absorbing moisture... that's not the case at all. If anything proteins by virtue of the fact they fill in the gap between cuticles actually helps your hair to retain moisture and actually slow the rate of moisture loss from your hair" Me: I'm confused now because it seems like Afope is saying that protein creates a barrier to retain and prevent moisture loss, so wouldn't that also mean that the protein barrier would block water from getting into the hair? If a barrier stops things from leaving wouldn't it also stop things from entering? I know the cuticle is a two-way door but is protein only a one-way door?

People wondering if the video was even for curly haired people, I asked her about it in her comments (Sarah ingles), she was really sweet and answered all my questions. right after I did she started addressing curly people in the comments. She said that this info is actually incredibly helpful for curly hair and actually better information for curly hair, because our hair is chemically the same thing. But in her second video she does admit that curly hair specifically black hair has the little research. All that being said, considering it exactly why I don’t believe the advice really applies to at least African American hair, she’s also using one site of research as well as saying your hair doesn’t need water at all. She’s good at what she does but the book definitely wasn’t aimed at black or or even primarily or partially research on ethnic hair at all and thou it’s a small amount of time the book came out in 2012 I believe which means we are looking at research for a less African American hair/ curly hair friendly time such as early 2000 and maybe even the 90s. Curly hair isn’t an umbrella and is often used for looser curls or even just means - not black people hair. Information about terms was awesome but saying allllll hair is the same just because is chemically the same is absolutely false and the quickest way to get African American hair broken off. I even tried really primarily on humidity for my hair moisture I thought it worked at first but as time went on no matter how much conditioning I put on my hair and clarified or whatever she was her happiest after getting some water 🤷🏿‍♀️ it think that matter is that it's not adding up to say hair doesn't need water especially curly hair I think more research would be awesome instead of older research maybe both of these videos can strike up a conversation and do more research into black hair like new studies.

I can totally understand why some people would think that.

A barrier is a barrier. We now know that assumption was wrong but the misconception is certainly understandable.

I also read her checking a negative comment, giving “all due respect and props” to Sarah, saying that she did an “incredible job with the research” and that she “really enjoyed her video” and acknowledged the hard work she must have done. She didn’t tear her down. She can’t be responsible for other people’s idiocy. Reaction videos aren’t uncommon on KZfaq. Some are awful but in my opinion this was not. The whole situation makes me a bit sad for them both. I think that if this youtuber knew about what was being said in Sarah’s comments she would have came out and defended Sarah and shut those folks down. But after this attack...

Water actually make my hair brittle and dry and it tends to fall out more/breaks if doesn’t have oil in it. I think problems is that hair science she found is actually geared more towards white women and their hair. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen them with super dry hair yet they’ll complain their hair is oily. It’s not so much the hair, but rather your scalp. Dry scalp = dry hair; oily scalp = oily hair. For those that are black, our hair is naturally a bit more on the drier side. I think the issue is that people think dry hair is the same has having damaged hair and it’s not. If your hair gets too dry, it can become damaged, and if your hair is to oily, it also becomes damaged cuz the oil can clogg pores and hair follicles. Reality is that it just comes down on your skin/scalp, and genetics. I personally don’t put moisturizers in my hair as I feel they make my hair much drier than what it is naturally. I use conditioners, and oils like tea tree oil, jojoba oil, coconut oils, and olive oils. Most of the products I use are oil based rather than water base cuz water does remove your hairs natural oils as well as shampoo. The oils help keep my scalp moist while also protecting my hair, all the while adding shine.

Obviously, I no longer believe those things. I *think* you and Sarah's difference of perspective might come from the fact that she does not think that much in curly/coily hair terms, even though she makes a conscious effort to include every hair type in her content. Until you said so, I (with my wavy hair) could not imagine why someone would want to moisturize their hair in the sense that they want it to be bigger, less smooth and more textured. It makes more sense now. ps. I am a real one.

I feel like it's similar to nail health, since hair is made of keratin just like nails, but just arranged differently, with an inner shaft full of pigment. With nails, you want a balance between hardness and strength. Too hard but not strong, you get brittle nails. Too moisturized or flexible, but not hard, you get bendy splitting nails. If you have both, you get hard nails that are also strong enough to take some impact without shattering, but not bending too much. This is why nails get really soft and fragile too when wet for too long. Keratin in nails can get waterlogged in a way, unless you have them moisturized with oil to protect them longer. This is why I have better nails when I wear gloves to wash dishes and moisturize hands after washing hands a lot (especially during the covid pandemic changes and everyone providing now alcohol hand sanitizer). This is why biotin supplements didn't do much for my nails but calcium+vit d. Supplements Made them noticeably longer because I want lacking protein, but I was leaving calcium so my nails were often soft, but they got harder, once I got enough calcium. Afaik, oils protect hair from water frizzing and protein is for the insides, the inner keratin shaft. Your diet and overall health and growth hormones, (or possibly protein treatments) are for the inner part of the hair, and oils are for keeping the outer part smooth.

So if your hair is wet clearly there is water that got inside and didn’t get repelled by any product. Two, oils/wax/silicones repel water yes. But unless you put a whole jar of any of these products in your hair, that dime size of oil or hair grease will never fully coat each and every strand on your head perfectly to “seal” the way you think it does. Not only that over the course of the day those oils get absorbed into your hair and rub of on clothes, pillows etc. You know that gorilla glue girl? That’s a perfect example of perfectly sealed hair.

this is why they say deep conditioning overnight is a myth and not good for hair

I love this part of youtube. Finally some actual grounded content that is entertaining (in the sense that beauty is a low key hobbey for me) and hence relaxing as well. Yesterday I immediately subscribed to Sarah and today I immediately subscribed to you. It has never happened before that I subscribe at first sight :p

Yes!!! You’re a real one! Please do a video on moisturized vs hydrated and what we should do if ur hair feels “dry”. What are fatty alcohols? Should I use them? Thank you so much!!!! I’m about to watch more of your videos! Yay! 👏🏻🤗❤️

Real one 💕. I love hearing from a scientific perspective. Sometimes those fields can be so confusing and difficult to parse as a layperson😬

She did not say hygral fatigue did not exist or that protein overload didnt exist. She was just explaining it so the marketing did not confuse us. She did great.

This just popped up on my feed, so I'm a little late, but I'm so glad you made this video! I felt like there was something missing from hers, like something wasn't quite adding up. Yours explains it beautifully. Also, I am very grateful you included that study about the damage from different drying times. I usually let mine air-dry, but I definitely won't be anymore!

It sounds ridiculuos, but many people think that protein may stop your air from moisturizing.

I didn't realize air drying my hair was actually hurting my hair. i just discovered your channel, I look forward to learning all we can from you.

It's only damaging if your hair take hours to dry or if you live in a very humid climate with unprotected high porosity hair. Otherwise most people are fine

My friend kept putting straight aloe vera into my hair because it was "dry" and needed "moisture" but no matter how many times she did it, my hair felt "dry" and brittle. She ended up declaring that my hair was just too damaged to save and I agreed to let her cut it off. Clearly, thinking rough/brittle=needs moisture/moisturizer is a problem at least for some of us cause I super doubt my hair was just so dry it would drink the whole world's supply of aloe and still be thirsty... Only thing that thirsty is me for Chris Evans.

I’m a real one....I agree with Shannel. I no longer use the term “moisturizing” anymore because it is a confusing term. I focus on regularly hydrating, conditioning and lubricating my hair. This way I’m focused solely on what the products will do for my hair. I do think you need to do more videos explaining the two concepts (hydration vs moisture) because some people still don’t understand the difference or may use them interchangeable when they can be two different things ( depending on how you use the words).

@leslielewis40 3 жыл бұрын

While I agree with you in theory regarding the “terms”. I also feel like this is all an exercise in futility. Just because a person may use a certain word to describe a phenomenon doesn’t change what the phenomenon is. If we in the natural hair world use the word hydration doesn’t change that we all generally understand what each other are referring to. It’s like saying that the color green isn’t really green we just call it that. Language in itself is simply an agreed upon set of ideas. We agree that the word water applies to the wet substance that comes out of the faucet when we turn it on. But the name is not what makes it water. Understand what I mean? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi Fops 🙋🏿‍♂️! Great video, I think you did well to acknowledge both the points you agree with and what you didn’t agree with. I also thought it was good of you to leave in your colleagues views which differ to yours. On the whole... Sterling effort!
