awesome demonstration. I love the fact you got to the point without a long intro. Great video.

I've only tried shingling once, the curls were beautiful but the shrinkage was insane

Raking is my Favorite because it’s quicker but both methods came out beautiful 💕

Hands down the BEST tutorial on both methods I’ve come across! Thank you 🙏🏾 As a complete beginner I think I’ll brave it and go for the raking method 1st.

I rake, shingle and finger coil my hair all at once lol

I love the shingling method for my 4 type hair. I do a combination of shingling and coiling. I do it so often to the point where it takes me 30mins to complete my entire head. It just looks better, imo.

When you have a TWA, the shingling method is best for a more defined look. Once your hair grows out of the TWA stage, the taking method is better. That’s just what I’ve experienced in my hair journey.

I love how some people can just rub conditioner on the surface of their hair and be like “ahhh, that’ll do.”

Another things I like about your videos is its not like so many others, where people go way overboard, with what I call, an I'm so pretty dance, attitude, and/ or dress. When watching those "overboard" videos I'm often reminded of being told that a person should be pretty and know but not pretty and show it. That is how you are, beautiful and confident and I like that.

Wow I thought I was doing the shingling method 😂 smh I was raking the whole time. Well I guess I prefer the raking but I’ll try the shingling method 👌🏾👌🏾

Great vid. Thanks. My take away is that for tighter curls or less naturally defined, shingling would work best. For bigger or more naturally defined curls, raking 😀

Thanks for educating us on these techniques! Very helpful

I love them both but I prefer the raking method! I have fine hair and I need volume and that little frizz to make it big! Gorgeous hair!

Very informative!!! It's crazy to see the raking method has more volume, great video

When my hair was shorter, I happily raked. But now my hair has grown considerably, shingling gives me the best results. It takes a little longer yes but my wash and go lasts a really loooooooong time!

THANK YOU for this explanation! I am wrestling with my comfort zone of straightening my hair out with heat and going natural. Your explanation helps me to feel confident trying these methods and understanding what to expect from them! Also - your hair is beautiful, as are you!

I just tries the shingling method and for the first time my wash and go turned out great.😁 thank you

When you came back with the dry hair…. The colorrrrrrrsssss are so pretty. Everything turned out beautiful!!

This was such a fun experiment to watch! I love the raking side. I also have very little time. Your hair looks like the bomb, Queen!

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it for us, that were curious about the difference in methods.

This was a thorough explanation of both methods. Thank you! Step by step.

Very nice ! I’m washing and about to style my hair with these products! I used too much product last time and theirs is helpful. Thank you !

Just began to transition to natural hair...thank you for explaining the difference between “raking” and “shingling!” THANK YOU! And...you and your hair, BEAUTIFUL!

Awesome video! Thank you so much! Trying both this weekend to see what works best for me.

Wow will definitely try both ways. Love the curls and the earings too

Depends on how your curl pattern and texture of the hair

Raking for sure, Thank You for such good videos I just cut my hair two weeks ago and I’m in love with my hair

Im so glad i found this video I never knew there was a difference i just thought girls were using different words to explain the same technique like ( fast & quick); i thought. ( shingling, raking, praying hands etc) were all the same thing never noticed a difference until you pointed one out. Thanks

I love my wash and go! I have seen a few of your videos, ❤❤ after watching this- I'm a new subbie!🎶 I've learned some key information here today. Thank you CURLFRIEND 🙌 This has explained so much to me, as far as how and why my hair turns out the way it does. I mean I love it, but I can't wait until wash day to perfect it. 👍ROCK ON👑

I like both of them, now that you explained them, however, mostly do the Raking method, due to time and work and everything else, but considering the fact that the shilling method is tighter and it last longer, O think they both have their purpose so I will use both when necessary. Thanks a bunch girl, and your hair is the bomb.

Thanks for the demo. I like the volume you achieved with the raking method.

Excellent video! Very informative yet consise! Gorgeous hair!

I love this video exactly what I needed to guide me. Thank you Sis!

Thank you for your straight to the point - very informative video. I appreciate it.

Thanks for giving examples of both methods. Most videos don’t explain the method being used.

Raking looks better because more volume. Frizz doesn't bother me either, it just adds to the volume. Also love how quick raking is.

I'm impressed with how fast the raking takes. Girl as soon as i'm able I'll be buying every product you mentioned I will, and i'm going to try both method. I'm so tired of wearing a "silverish" plain looking afro. Honestly I really don't know how to do my own hair. I would need you to do any makeup on me (smiles) because I don't wear nor know how to correctly apply makeup. Thank you so much for sharing and you explained it all so well.

love the shingling side, and your makeup is so lovely

Definitely the raking..😍 love love love your videos

Love your curls, also new subbie, I use the racking method my curls are more defined but when it dries the shrinkage is crazy, but after its dries the volume kicks in, my hair is more of curly/coily type. Love your videos, going to try the shingling method. Love it!!❤❤😘😘

This is my first time watching but I love the racking. I like that it gives volume and a little bit of frizz is fine... it is "natural"..

Great video!! I will try this tonight.

*Thank you for an awesome comparison! I will try the raking method this is*

I like both methods. Thanks for your very detailed explanations.

Love your hair....I like the raking method😊

As most of us Corona has given me no other choice but to do my hair (which I've never done). Kudos KZfaq! I've done raking, I like it (quick). Going to try shingling today. Thanks for sharing!

Your hair is beautiful. I prefer the raking method for my hair. Thank you for posting this video.

This is so informative! Love it

Shingling method showed more definition. This tutorial was very helpful. Your hair is beautiful in it's natural state!

I really learned some things from this video. I didn’t know about shingling and taking. I think I lean more towards raking. When I do a fresh wash and go, on my very wet hair, I apply mixture of Mixed Chicks and Shea Moisture Caster Oil smoothie leave in conditioners. I don’t use any kind of butter (maybe I should). Then I section my hair and apply Camille Rose curl maker. After doing these things, I use a large tooth comb and my Denman brush to distribute the products through my hair. I also lean my head to the left, right and backwards using my Denman brush in a some what upward direction (I’m trying to encourage volume). Then I shake my hair from side to side, forward and backward. Curls form on their own. It takes a long time to dry but I like it.

raking, for the fullness is what I like best

You're so pretty! your makeup is on point!! also thanks a lot for this tutorial!

I absolutely love your hair and this video was the best I have seen whether on KZfaq or Instagram. Please, you got to tell me how would the same exact method work under a hair dryer. I was thinking of trying this but need advice first. Thanks.

Your hair is GORGEOUS! I wish I had curls.

I like the raking method because it is quicker and I have no patience. The shingling looks great as well. This is a wonderful tutorial.

I just love these hair channels, so many pretty ladies Wow!

Hello. I'm late to the video but I love the raking method and the idea of using my hand by finger combing my hair. I just recently did the coiling method as of 11/22. Thanks for sharing

This video is PERFECT. Thanks.

Got to say that your curls came out looking awesome with both methods in my opinion. But the main thing I wanted to say was, thank you for this video. Because I've finally learned about another method for defining my curls other than the raking approach. Which I still kind of like. Just I think for right now with my hair type and still figuring things out since going natural. The raking method, just is not quite what I need. But I think with a better curl definer and more practice with the shingling approach(as well as a bit more time in doing it, lol), I may have found a way to get my coils back. Thanks again. :D

I love the raking method, and now I even start doing the raking method when I apply my deep conditioner and my results are amazing. Loved this comparison video. I’ll have to give shingling a try.

Raking... and didn't realize that is what I was doing. Great video

You just saved my life!!!! Thank you.

And your make up is on point Sis!

Love your videos!

So Beautiful! Love both methods!

I love how the raking looks

First, I love your videos, thank you!! Second, I love your hair, and make up. Last but not least, I am about to big chop my hair. I would like to know if you can offer a suggestion as starter products to curl my hair naturally. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.

I'm so glad I found you! Your video is GREAT! I think I liked the shilling better. I'm going to try it this weekend. I'm struggling with finding the right products. My hair is always SUPER dry!!

Thank you for explaining the difference!

I'm new to your channel and I love this video. I still have my short hair from the original BigChop and not sure how to do raking or shingling. I would say my hair is about 2" long now but it always curls up and looks like a short curly fro. I would love be some advice on how to get more defined and volume to my hair because it's kinda thin. Thanks so much for sharing and appreciate any advice from ALL. Anna

I prefer raking because it's quick, but I want to try shingling so my style will last longer. You hair turned out nicely. Thanks.

Thanks I like both methods enjoyed watching!

Thanks for a great tutorial!

I rake my hair and now I see why it have frizz!! Thank you for this beautiful video 🤗🤗

Demo is great. Thank you. But, can you do a demo on your makeup application! Beautiful and flawless!

I do both, thanks for the great information.

Great hairstyle! love it.

Thank you, I've just learned something!

great job on both sides!

Great video! It made me realize why my hair has been flat this week. I normally rake but I shingled my wash n go more than normal this week. I definitely prefer raking.

looks great!!

I like both sides, but if I had to choose it would be the raking side ❤️

Why when I do the shingling method or the raking method my hair shrinks to an Afro!!!!? There is no length! It just shribbles up like a raisin !

both techniques seem very interesting to me. I have never tried the products, I usually use shea Butter products because i love the moisture and because my hair absorbs quickly. Thanks you for the info, and by the way your make-up was beautiful.

I like both, I think the shingling side is best, I'm going to try this as I don't have time for a twist out today x

Love your vides and your hair. I love the Raking methdod but I have done the Shingling methdod and it lasted me the whole week.

Thanks so much for your explaining so well

Great tutorial! Thx.

I love both! I’ve always used the raking method. How do you maintain at night?

I have never did a wash n go but I do rake products in my hair as oppose to shingling.

Thank you for the demonstration great job. I like volume the raking is faster.

Hi both looks great you have beautiful hair. I prefer to do the raking method when I do my wash an go.

Good job sis luv them both just depends on how I AM FEELING

Its frizz Oman the racking side because of how you applied the products. It was more so sitting on top rather in between like the shingling side. But thank you much for this vid. Definitely helped

Did the shingling method today took me forever. I also finger coiled. Cant wait to see how it looks when its dried though. I hope the style stays for a few days.

I prefer the raking method. Love your curl pattern and earrings..Where are they from?

I really like the shingling method. I get that hangtime and my curls are popping. It last for a week and almost no frizz.

Your hair is beautiful! I find that when my hair is soaking, dripping wet I have the best results with any product that I use. I've tried shingling and raking with dripping wet hair both work better. I even add more water while adding products. I stand on a towel because its messy. But the results are phenomenal!

Thank you for sharing how long it lasts! beautiful!

Great tutorial; one of the best on KZfaq...how do you maintain the shingle method of the wash & go daily? You said in your videos it lasts one week. How do you refresh it?
