I will give it a shot #18+

Thank you

It says invalid code

Absolutely!

Every time I put gell in my hair, it says back..." Harpo, what dis???" 😅

Yesssss all this. "Put your natural hair game on easy mode." - Tatiana White on YT. I was in prayer about my hair and Jesus just clarified to me that my natural hair type is "done" it doesn't need to be hyper-manipulated the way I was led to believe as a kid. Yes kids with coily hair benefit from braids so things don't get stuck in it, so they can play. But an afro/ a fro with a part in it that is structured/ styled with intention/ has symmetry to it, looks well kept, is beautiful and elegant too.

@@erikaa.3030: I wore an Afro for five years as a child in the late 60s to early 70s. It was the original, LITERAL wash-and-go. My mom sometimes had Afro Sheen oil-sheen spray, Afro Sheen hair grease, or a tube of VO5 hair grease, but she didn’t allow us to use them. I sneaked and used some, but that was rare. We didn’t even have hair conditioner back then. I think it existed, but we didn’t have any in our house. I shampooed every few days with the harsh shampoos that were available at the time, mostly Prell. I rinsed and picked my hair out with an Afro pick. I slept on my Afro and picked it out again every day before school. That was my entire hair routine.

Where did u buy those?☺️

Where do you find them?

Great advice!

Yes!

Absolutely!

I am in my sixties and I can't believe the growth improvement I've seen since putting rosemary extract into my products.

Yes, it’s amazing!

Yes yes yes

You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing your hair tip, I completely agree!

Hey! The actual aloe plant is ideal.

@@CurlyChemistry much obliged!

I love it! I’m glad you and your daughter are seeing results with the aloe pre-poo! ☺️

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

You're welcome! :-)

Yes to all of that!!

@@CurlyChemistry for sure! I've been using ambuno to prepoo but since I fine, med-high porosity hair, I would like to try allow to prepoo. Do you suggest a brand or the actual plant? Do you have a vid on that?

Thank you for sharing your tips. I've never been successful with a brush but then I don't shampoo in the shower either

@@sable7114 Ooh, I'm glad you mentioned the shampoo, actually. Since it tends to immediately increase friction and make my hair more tangly, I don't use the shampoo until after I do the detangling with conditioner, actually. And I try to keep it brief and just focus on applying it to my scalp and scrubbing that (gently), and just use the excess for the length of my hair. That's another tip I learned a while back: conditioner is mainly for the length of the hair while shampoo is mainly meant to clean the scalp, and you should only apply it fairly sparingly to the lengths of your hair. Obviously the amount needed does depend on how much buildup you have on your hair and how strong the shampoo is. And like detangling with conditioner first is a good compromise where it does start to clean your hair some and remove some of the buildup that can exacerbate knotting, but also doesn't strip your hair as much as shampoo does, which for me makes knotting and catching much worse. So I detangle with conditioner, then shampoo once or twice, depending on what's needed, and then go back with conditioner again and make sure to let some stay behind. I know some folks have success immediately adding leave in conditioner while still in the shower, too. Applying leave-in stuff while my hair is very wet is trickier for me since that tends to result in product traces dripping down my face as my hair dries, and my face is even more sensitive than the rest of my skin already is. 😭😭 Oh! And regarding brushes, I've definitely found it's a tricky balance since you need the bristles to be firm and closely enough spaced that they actually are able to grab the knots and detangle them rather than just bending _around_ them, but they also need to be soft and widely spaced enough that they don't just tear through my hair or actually snag onto hair that isn't even tangled. 😅😅 The Tangle Teezer I got (I believe it was either medium or coarse density; I might have better results with the one for fine hair, I'm suspecting) definitely does detangle but it has the unfortunate problem where it seems to catch on the actual curl pattern of my hair and snag hair that isn't truly knotted. So far, the Unbrush has actually given me my best results so far; I find that if I'm careful and make sure to start from the very ends of my hair (I also will do some light finger detangling first) and use it in conjunction with the Enrichure detangling pre-poo, which has MAD slip, I tend to have very minimal hair loss and it also doesn't take me ages to get through. I forget the name, but the Unbrush is visibly similar to another couple of brushes and probably works about the same. One lady did a review of about five or six detangling brushes, including the Unbrush and those, so I'd say the other brands are probably going to serve you well, too, if you want to try them. But hair is definitely very individual. A lot of times I'll see ladies very briskly pulling through their hair with stiffer combs and brushes and I know I'd be snapping the heeeck out of my hair if I tried that. 😭✋ Oh, and I use a plastic rake comb with nice, pointy teeth to do my roots check. They're super cheap on Amazon, like 3 or 4 dollars? The one I got isn't seamless, though, so you might not want to use that for actually detangling mostly. But those teeth are great at sliding next to my roots precisely without catching sections I'm not trying to bother. Honestly, whether or not you get any brushes or combs, I'd still recommend the Enrichure. It's hard for me to find products that don't just promptly cake on my hair and get sticky and actually make the tangling and hair breakage worse soon, but the Enrichure is amazing. It also adds moisture to my hair really quickly, which is also key for minimizing the breakage as I start to manipulate it. And you can just lightly add water as you work if you're taking a while-or you can have your hair already damp-and the drying isn't a problem like it is with some other conditioners I've tried (this is when detangling outside the shower, I mean). It is meant to be rinsed out and will get flaky as a leave-in, but it's such a good product when used for detangling before a wash or rinse. ^^

Absolutely! I haven’t not a video on henna as of yet.

Hey! Ideally after your water based moisturizer.

@@CurlyChemistry Thanks. Haven't had the results I've been expecting but I am still learning!

​@CurlyChemistry brands of water based moisturizers pleasr.

Yes!!

Both are fine! Aloe from the garden or local grocery story are both great options.

@@CurlyChemistry thanks so much

Ayeee! 🥰💁🏾‍♀️

The only way to answer that question is by trying it. Everyone's hair is different. What works for her, may not work for you.

Hey! Check out my Amazon store for other recommendations. ☺️

Facts!

Yyyaaaaaaasssssss

so put just glycerin on hair?

No. I mix it with water

​@@ingredclare4618do you apply to just the scalp or spray on hair?

Weekly I apply coconut, castor, batana and rosemary oils overnight.

It could be hormonal, as we age our hair changes and can become thin. You can take hair vitamins to help, but if it's more internal then I would focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, natural balancing of the hormones, and avoiding heat, color services, and create a hair care regimen that you can stick with. If you want to talk more about where I can create this plan for you, definitely sign up for one-on-one hair care coaching with me.

Interesting! I just got a wooden comb. ☺️

@@CurlyChemistry yay. I love mine. Now you can show the people why I love mine. Hehehe

I’ve only been using one a week and can already tell that I have less breakage when combing. I mainly wear my hair blown out

No, you can’t change your hair type without chemicals. You just have to learn which products work on your hair to make it as manageable as possible.

@@kj7045 aren't there any product to make it softer?

For dry scalp/dandruff aloe Vera juice or gel will be amazing for her! I would also do deep conditioning 2-3 a month for her as well to help increase the hydration within her hair. Also be sure to moisturize her hair at least 2-4 times a week. Detangle gently with a wide tooth comb, starting from the ends and work your way up. Also let her know that her hair is beautiful!! Young kids need to hear that early on. 🥰

I had dandruff and dry hair. I tried so many products, and nothing worked. Then i realized that i needed to focus on my scalp first. I bought some Nizoral shampoo and followed that with a fragrance free moisturizing shampoo and a deep conditioner. Try to keep everything else away from your scalp except the Nizoral shampoo. It took about two months, but my hair was moisturized and healthy looking, and my scalp was back to normal. I learned that i can't do anything with fragrance on my scalp.

That's the one!

Best LIFE hack!

I drink plenty of water Nothing seems to work anymore

@@colettedailypaywater and vitamins (geritol), seal ends with Murray’s beeswax. Find out what vitamin you deficient in. Game changer

I use African Pride. It has aloe.

@@trem5174SAME!! African Pride prepoo changed everything for me in terms is pre poo. I used to use oil but now it’s all African pride. It sucks bc I try not to be dependent on commercial hair products bc they are always discounting or changing the formulations and not always for the better. But the AF pre pop is just that good 🎉

Yesss!

QUESTION: My shower head states that is water sense certified....is ths a filter?

Is Aloe gel from a bottle the same as the fresh plant? Best tip - regularly trim your ends.

Yay! Can’t wait to connect with you! 💜
