I started daily washing this year, took a min to find the right shampoo and condish but this is THE best black hair care secret. Hardly any tangles, inc. growth rate, my hair is so soft and my routine is waaaaay less stressful. It’s actually quite relaxing and refreshing. I don’t plan on stopping.

@@amateurastronomer9752 Yessssss to everything you’ve said! 🙌🏾 I think we’ve been lied to our whole lives. It doesn’t dry our hair and scalp out nor makes our hair brittle. It make our hair stronger, add a ton of body w/ a lot of movement, promotes crazy growth, smells sooooo good, makes it thicker, less tangling, etc. The daily washing changed my hair texture too over a period of time…it’s straighter. Btw, my hair is natural (no chemicals and dyes. We as black people has to clean our scalp pores just like the finer hair textures on a daily basis in order to obtain the best out of our hair. I know it brings out the best in mine.

@@katbell436 Omg, I forgot to mention the smell! Knowing at any time someone can put their nose to my scalp and it will smell great has given me a whole new confidence as a woman . And I’ve too have noticed that my curls are starting to really pop. This the way to go!

@@amateurastronomer9752 YESSSSSS‼️‼️

I started doing this a few months ago and I am addicted. For any ladies in their 40s or 50s with thinning of crown issues, daily washing concentrating on you r scalp is the way to fix it.

YASS SAY IT LOUDER

Yeah seems like common sense don't it?

that’s not how it works. when we say moisture we don’t mean actual moisture. we mean conditioning. the reason curly hair is considered drier is because it tends to be high porosity and have less sebum on it both of these properties let moisture ESCAPE, and that’s why it’s “dry”. if your hair is dry don’t put more water on it, instead focus on sealing the cuticles and sealing in the moisture that’s already there. scalp however does need frequent washing, a clean scalp = healthy scalp = healthy hair

I was thinking the same thing.!

​@lambsauce8937 you're partially correct. I'd would advise those with curly/kinky hair to wash more AND seal their cuticles to keep that moisture. The scalp needs to be cleaned regularly with water and the hair needs the moisture from water. If the hair is highly porous then the moisture can only return on wash days so adding more wash days increases the moisture in the hair

​@@cfoster6804 Do you still listen to the ladosha and cheryl podcast? I stopped, I found them to be too misleading.

Put coconut oil with some rosemary leaves in a hot water bath to make rosemary infused coconut oil it made my haig grow so fast my baby hairs are almost just hairs now😂

​@BuildaBi Why does she need to do this if she said simply washing is making it grow? That's part of our problem...we're out here doing the most except for keeping it clean.

What did you use shampoo or conditioner

@@cocoloco7387 I think anything just don’t use something with alcohol

That is just so true! I saw it in my own hair. I wash it twice a week, sometimes every two days. My hair is moisturized, soft and shinier.

you are so right my hair stay hydrated and heathy. I love it.

Jesus saves 😊. Thank you for sharing

I used to wash my hair 1 a week now im free to wash it as many time as i wish and it grows and its bouncy!

Do u shampoo it everyday or just rinse it with water??

Well that does not work for me cuz I have different hair

@@smritivinayek6042 After my big chopped, between working out and swimming, I either shampooed or co washed daily. Neither were damaging and the only reason I stopped is because my hair grew so long in a matter of months. Looking back I was working too hard for definition and using way too much product. Nowadays I use one styler with a light leave in so I can dry it quickly even it’s long.

I love washing my hair daily!!!! I use conditioner 6 day a week and shampoo 1 day a week. My new growth is crazy !!!! It’s like wild flowers.

Unfortunately thats how our parents raised us. If we questioned anything, we were talking back and get popped in the mouth

Wow you have my grandmas name!

this is exactly what i am starting to do

Yeh my hair breaks so much with washing 1 per month. I’m gonna try wading once a week and wetting/moisturizing lightly through the week

I just started doing this and i can physically feel the drastic change in health and i can see it grow every couple of days its crazy.

happy Gabby!!! What shampoo 🧴 you used to wash your hair

Valentine so washing it everyday makes it softer for longer periods?

Dominicans aren't black now?😂

​@@cfoster6804 Dominican isn't a race, it's an ethnicity. A Dominican can be black, white, biracial etc. same for a Jamaican, Trinidadian, Brazilian, etc. These places were colonized by Europeans, everyone isn't black.

With shampoo?

@@cfoster6804no lol that’s not recommended, but nothing wrong with washing your hair daily.. shampoo cleans, conditioner conditions.

@@cfoster6804yes sulfate and silicone free.

Panda Sweet Rose same ! It grows way faster

do u Condition evertime u shampoo

@@tetrades5348 Yes. Shampoo raises the cuticles, conditioner brings them back down.

Letting it air dry moisturizes it to

​@@denyshadials5702how does shampoo raise the cuticle??

What about that length tho

do u wash with shampoo everyday ?

Preach!

How did you style it though. I like to wear mint twist but that would be a pain to have to take them out every time I wash them. I tried washing with the twist in but I have soft hair so it tangled easily

@@tyrafields4085 My hair is coarse I use medium or small plaits if bothered when I put water everyday in my hair as it prevent my hair from tangling without using comb and add some coconut oil after.

@@fiona1407 ok thank you so much for the response and tips!!!

Me too. Looks like the more I wash my hair, it seems to be growing fast and it is healthier. And I am not having any problems. 😊. As a black woman, thought we had to wait for a while. I thank God for the natural hair movement.

@@smilingface4761 hello i don’t know if you will see this, but i have a couple of questions! i want to know : what is your hair porosity what is your hair texture (fine, “normal” , or coarse ) also, do you co wash 6 days and then use actual shampoo on the 7th day? really curious for hair thrives when. washed everyday considering shampoo strips natural oils! please let me know your routine xx also do you stretch out your hair or leave it in a curly shrunken state !?

With shampoo though? A lot of people are talking about cowashing mess when they say wash.

Yeah thag gets mad annoying. Like I have nothing against cowashing but if you are doing that you gotta say it! Don't just call it washing lol

@@ChesireWaltzright

Why would a bonnett cause damage?

The material of the headband and the way it’s down together can snag and pull the edges.

​@@ElTee519They can snatch your edges.

It's like everything we've been doing jacks our hair up. I may get some silk pillowcases and ditch the scarves and bonnets myself.

​@@cfoster6804not really.

You swim too? It's been three months how's your hair now?

Yes please share how ur hair is now

I agree with our hair being similar to plants. That’s so beautiful to even imagine!

That's the thing. Just cause we can don't mean we should

I have 4c hair and when I was a new natural I cowashed my hair every 2-3 days and shampooed weekly. It’s been a couple years and I’ve got lazy and now wash it every 7-10 days. My hair was so much healthier when I washed more often and a lot less dryness and breakage than today. I’m a believer that daily washing can work for certain naturals. Water is not the enemy lol!

See it's always comments like this that put 4c hair girls off loving their hair.

@@jaleesah and I totally believe that, in every video like these you have comments like the original downplaying natural hair types who haven't even tried it.

@@miraclegirl14 i have 4c hair around most of my head and 4b/4a in some heat-damaged spots. i have real 4c hair lol, not 3b hair and claiming to have 4c lol. i just started doing this and my hair has become a lot easier to manage. i have a scalp condition where my hair needs to constantly be moisturized every day. i had to spray it, try and detangle it, and moisturize it. it became a chore. after cleansing every day, it because so much easier. i love it. it can work. it's hard and i get upset at times, but it does work.

You can cowash everyday and then shampoo once a week. Try it because it works. Black women are so scared of water then they wonder why their hair doesn't grow or is dry all the time.

@@kaydeep7880 True

I LOVE GIOVANNI products for our hair

But that’s a lie you need to get rid of nasty oils dirt and dry skin cells from the scalp otherwise how is a dirty hair follicle allow to grow hair???

​@@sarahmccain4577Right.

Try buying a standing hair dryer before trying it out. The indirect heat from the dryer will help dry your hair quicker and set your styles (for wash n gos/ twist outs) I wash my hair twice a week/ every 5 days and my length retention has been excellent.

I haven’t been washing my hair everyday, but every time I take a shower I would detangling my hair and twist it in four sections. Haven’t gotten the drying part down quite yet, but my hair has still grown a lot. I started with my shoulder length hair (that was originally above my butt but my ends made my hair un-detangleable) and as of now my hair is about mid back. My edges have even been growing in, which never had happened before 😂 I want to be able to shampoo my hair everyday, but as I said, my hair is around 4c and not loose like the lady in the video, it’s getting pretty long, so it’ll take a foreverrrrr. For now, I’ll have to deal with once a week

​@HiyaItsNiah Check out Ms. Mississippi here on KZfaq. She's a natural 4b/c who washes every 2-3 days. Her hair is thick and to her thighs. She's been washing frequently for many years.

Huh?? Just pat it dry.....

We shower everyday! But a lot of use are brainwashed into thinking our hair doesn’t need to be washed frequently because it can be hard to manage at times when in fact washing it everyday makes it more manageable and less tangled. The only thing is due to our courser texture it takes more time compared to straighter textures.

I always believed that was a lie as well like how??? you need to get rid of oils dirt and dry skin cells from the scalp otherwise how is a dirty oil hair follicle allow to grow hair??? Makes no sense clean scalp allows hair growth

It may be because it can alot of work for the most part especially if you had little ones. :) and before alot of tangle free and awesome natural products that we have now (in the 70's we used Wella Balsam and Fabrage Organics commercial shampoo's lol) shampoo's for different cultures lol.

Lol, if there is one thing black people do everyday it's shower. You can shower without washing your hair. Since you're Mexican I'll chalk your comment up to translation issues.🤭

​@@BigbossleinaThis is true! We'll be pristine clean from the forehead down.😂

If you ask any swimmer with type 4 hair, they’ll tell shampooing daily doesn’t damage hair. The opposite of dryness is water, not oil. Hair receives the most water when it’s cleaned. It’s just facts. When I first big chopped, between working out and swimming daily, I either cowashed or shampooed with zero issues. If anything detangling was easier and quicker. The only reason I stopped is because I was using too many products to style and as my hair got longer it took longer and longer to dry. Now that I only use one styler and a light leave in, I’m able to go back to washing every couple of days. I probably won’t go back to daily unless I cut my hair.

@@denyshadials5702 You're right it's very time-consuming to wash your hair every 1 once a week and then moisturize it after, iv been doing that without shampoo for 2 weeks and boyy I'm tired of it already, so for the type of lifestyle I have I think I should just wet my hair every 2 weeks and then style and re-moisturize, Before I usually just leave it alone for 2 months at a time, not doing anything to it, just leaving it in my twist and spritzing it with water and cream probably every 2 weeks throughout that time, but since iv been wetting my twist with water and actually truly moisturizing it, I find it feels a lot softer and less dry. So it's probably ok to wet your hair more often than many people with type 4 hair think, I used to be hesitant to wet my hair more often because I didn't want hydral-fatigue, (and I don't like going to bed with a wet head lol). knowing this now, I think a better routine for me would be washing it with shampoo every 2 weeks and wetting it with water every 1 once a week, that's what iv been doing and so far and it's working!!! my hair's not dry at all, as long as I moisturize it well after. I'd even go far enough to say that I don't even need deep conditioner doing this routine!!! (since I haven't been using one since I shampooed it, its still moisturized because of the fact that I'm wetting it more often).

I have type 4 hair and constant water is the best thing for it. I'm in approaching three weeks of washing my hair daily.

4c girlie here! Daily hair routine: wash with shampoo, silicone free conditioner for a few minutes, finger detangle (nothing too intricate, since I wash daily, shed hairs, come out easily), spray some Aussie leave in, little bit of ecostyler all over. Shake it out. Blow dry for a few minutes on low heat just to get rid of excess/dripping water and get some airflow to the roots. Go about my day as it air dries. I don’t wash in sections, I don’t detangle with a brush/comb and I don’t stretch while blow drying. This saves me a lot of time and the whole process takes about 20 min. If you can accept your shrinkage and natural texture (though my curl pattern pops moreso than before), this is the way to go. My hair is softer and looks way better now than with any other method I’ve tried and I’ve tried them all. I’d like add I have very dense hair. I hear thinner hair may tangle more easily.

How are you working a 9 to 5 job, washing your hair and just going?

So, do you ever use shampoo? Or are you on that water only method?

That's not washing. You're just wetting your hair.

The scalp doesn't get dry from the water?

@@nicholasharris5480 Why would anything be dry with water? Genuine question.

@@denyshadials5702 that's a good question idk but after so much water does something dry out? Especially on the scalp. I thought too much water could be bad like for example with plant's🤷🏽‍♂️

@@nicholasharris5480 I’m sorry I’m still not understanding because plants don’t dry out from overwatering either, they wilt. But consider, does any other part of your skin dry out from being washed and moisturized daily (or every other day for some, no judgment)? Because scalp is skin.

@@denyshadials5702 yes my skin drys out if I don't put on lotion & my hair and scalp has always been dry and had flakes and I tried alot of hair products. This could work for me but then again idk, the hair wont get water damage and become weak?

Question so I that High porosity hair or low? Asking because mine is the opposite of yours it dries quickly. So I’m trying to figure out what porosity I am and I’m a male by the way. I don’t know if that makes a difference.

It does. I've been doing it for months now.

did it grow your hair

It only takes long if you haven’t figured out a quick technique that works for you yet, and you don’t leave the hair to air dry. Sit under a hooded dryer, use a diffuser or a microfiber towel to dry your hair.

@@LifeFilmz nope my hair is super super thick and long so takes for ever to comb out and to dry. Everyone is diff, so do what works for you!

@@EankiEtAl no matter who you are the theory is that if you wash and detangle it more often it shouldn’t take you an hour or so to detangle it over time because you’re not leaving it to get tangled days on end. It’s all about consistency and the right products that give your hair enough slip. The only thing that would make you any different is if you don’t have the time or money to tend to your hair more often which is okay cause everyone’s lifestyle is different you just gotta do what works for you and improve where you can.

@@LifeFilmz I’ve tried washing & detangling more often and while it is a bit faster it’s not fast enough to justify doing it every day or even every other day. The girl in this video has super thin hair compared to mine. Have you seen truly thick hair? I don’t think you have or you wouldn’t be saying this.

@@EankiEtAl my hair is thick and highly dense mostly type 4b hair. I started washing it more often because I am more physically active now throughout the week and I have to or else my scalp will be irritated from leaving sweat and dirt on it. It used to take me an hour to detangle my hair and now it only takes 10 minutes because I talked to a natural hairstylist who told me to switch my conditioner and to use a more gentle hydrating shampoo for frequent washing. I think because I’m getting it wet more frequently it’s making the process faster also. And my hair doesn’t take forever to dry because I bought a hooded dryer that gets it 75% dry when I sit under it for 30 mins and I let it air dry on its own the rest of the day. So I’m saying this from my own experience. But like I said everyone’s lifestyle is different so you can only improve where you can.

Sorry, i mean no comb and no brush.

Hey, I know I'm super late, but how did it go?

Yeah Selsun blue dries white people's hair out.😂

detangle with suave shampoo and then add conditioner

Its called a shower cap. It keeps your hair dry while you shower. I'm sure you've heard of that. Most of us bathe daily, like everyone else. I usually bathe twice a day cuz I go to the gym almost daily.

Yes, we wash our bodies everyday just like everyone else, like someone else just posted we use shower caps. SMDH 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ And no our hair doesn’t smell unless you put your nose directly to our hair

😒

​@@AA-yc9dqRight.

Mac Loca yeah! It takes way too much work for me. I only shampoo 1 or 2 a week, and condition, and Detangle every time I shower (every other day).

I am experiencing the same, tried 3 times weekly and once weekly. Both frequencies still had lots of breakage. I am about to try twice monthly to see what happens.

I think so, you should to retain some moisture

ballet artist out of curiosity ... what’s your hair type?? I’d also like to try washing my hair less often to see if my hair improves ....

Bet anything you were using cheap drugstore shampoo. Products do matter!

I don’t believe that. When I was in high school I washed my hair daily with regular shampoo and conditioner. I used mousse and hairspray. My hair was long shiny and very moisturized. I never had a split end.

@@twin86040317 maybe the mousse mended your split ends together :)

@@JayJay-oo2sc I don’t wash my hair daily anymore and I’ve been using mousse for the past year and have had so many split ends and my hair doesn’t grow fast like it used to

​@@twin86040317 Interesting, really? Did you ever get around to washing more often again?

@@ChesireWaltz no. I think hormones, age, diet plays a part in it as well. But I don’t have time to wash daily. I also have realized I’m protein sensitive. Which has caused breakage on my hair. I now have been trying to use protein free products and my hair seems to be improving.

Same here, I tried washing 3 times a week, then weekly but not frequencies came with so much breakage for me and no length retention. I am about to try twice a month now.

​@@hubb52424c hair with very low porosity should not be washing hair daily with shampoo, I have had Mang licensed hair stylists tell me, not to and they are right. Rice and oats cream shampoo is the best for 4c hair.

Cowash causes terrible buildup. Companies didn't create conditioner for washing. Do you skip taking showers because the soap strips your skin on oil? No, you just use lotion. Just use conditioner after shampooing.

Use the Revair!

Trust me honey, medical professionals get stuff wrong all the time.
