I completely agree with this video. You even have a lot of hair influencers saying only shampoo your scalp and not your hair. Now you apply more products to your actual hair than your roots. You need to shampoo both.

Double shampooing and emulsifying my shampoo before applying has done wonders for me.

Ive never understood the whole co wash thing and i never got on that train, i shampoo twice a week without fails and ive never struggled to retain length.

My hair stopped breaking off because I started washing my hair more often WITH a clarifying shampoo. All my conditioning products started working again because now I apply them on squeaky clean hair. Also my scalp is not itchy anymore! Thank you for sharing your tips 💕

Yes, I agree I shampoo my TBL hair twice a week. It goes against what a lot of people say, especially for type 4 hair, but it's what works for my hair.

I decant all of my shampoos into applicator bottles so that I can apply the shampoo directly to my roots. Then I use handheld scalp massager to distribute the shampoo throughout the surface of my scalp and also to manually break up the dirt/sebum/dead skin cells buildup. I do this twice and take the lather all the way down to my ends both times. I've found shampooing my hair this way has helped me to thoroughly cleanse my scalp & hair no matter what kind of shampoo (clarifying, moisturizing, etc) I use. Lovely video! ❤

Hi there. My hair is high porosity fine strands and medium density, my scalp is normal(no dandruff, dry scalp etc). I have been natural since 2011. Co washes absolutely works wonders for my hair so I use it most of the time. Sometimes i just wash my hair with water only. Trust me my scalp does not smell. Using shampoos constantly on my hair drys it out and breaks it off. I am saying this to say that we have different hair types and scalps so what is working beautifully for you is horrible for someone else. But I appreciate the education. Our young ones need guidance.

This is so true. I have never listen the hair natural girlies. I always wash my hair once a week or once every two weeks. I also wash my hair when having a protective hair style. For my type 4 hair with eczema, I saturate my hair with water and apply a gentle conditioner (low cost) to detangle my hair. Then gently separate my hair in 4 sections and double shampoo my hair. My hair is healthy 😊

People are scared of shampoo because it's "drying" but that's when your conditionner comes in 😅... As straight hair indications is oil my cue is dryness. When hair is dry, wash it, that's when it's saturated with water, that's when you do great things like deep conditionning.

Well said Abbie! Wash your hair ladies and gents! The difference you will see is insane!! Another very informative video Abbie! Keep em coming 🙌🏾👏🏾👌🏾

I’ve never understood the wash your scalp only garbage. If you put products on your hair root to tips then you’ve got to get all that off so you can have a good style for the next days ahead.

So relaxing! I agree with everything. I wash once a week using a sulfate shampoo first and then a non sulfate shampoo afterwards. It works well! I only get an itchy scalp after I workout and sweat, which I do quite often throughout the week. I also give myself scalp massages during shampooing!

hiiii gorgeous, I agree with you, I as well have noticed the same things with incorporating double shampooing and doing it weekly - blessings beautiful being 🌱

Been waiting for your shampoo routine for a min! Thank you. I found your channel after a year of co washing and spending so much money and wondering why my hair didn’t have as much definition as when I wasn’t even using good products. I shaved my entire hair off in December as I was just over it, wanting to start from scratch, I thought I’ll start growing it out immediately but I’ve been enjoying not having to do anything that I think I’ll have short hair for the rest of the year. I’m actually washing my hair every single day as it’s mainly scalp and that’s my focus this period, and only using curl creams and my curls are defined and soft:)

You’re my new favorite natural hair KZfaqr ! I love how simple and easy your hair routines are. I been binge watching ever since I came across your channel ❤

Love the video and glad to see you back on KZfaq!

As someone who has been natural since the mid to late 90's, I am always amazed when someone don't know that shampoo is not bad for your hair. Although the so called "natural hair movement/community" did shine a light on natural hair products, at the same time, some of the worse tips came from it.

I missed your content 😭❤

Yep 👍🏽! Washing once a week (three moisturizing shampoo/one clarifying during the month) has helped my hair retain moisture. I don’t have to go in midweek and add additional products because it retains the moisture now.

Yes sis! Me too, shampooing is the most important part of my routine. I also don’t follow the CG method, I noticed that it was not benefiting my hair. Shampoo and Silicones and just simplifying my routine have been amazing for my hair! 💞

Agreed. I wash my whole hair (scalp & length) every week. I use the new Curlsmith moisture shampoo and I don’t have to clarify often coz my hair gets fully cleaned every week x

Thanks so much for this video. I started pre-pooing a few months ago as part of my routine in order to moisturize my hair but it's still just as dry. 🌺

Abbie, thank you for this video! I have implemented several of your tips over the years and my hair is healthier every time I use one of your tips. My hair feels so much more moisturized when I double cleanse, but I am guilty of neglecting my ends when it comes to shampoo. No longer! Thank you again :)

Hello,just came across your video and watched till the end,just want to say massive thank you for clearing one thing in your video is,I've been shampooing my scalp only as I have believed that's what I've been told,so from now on my curly wash day I'm taking your tips from now on,brilliant video 🙏

Say it again, sister. Please Wash Your Hair People. I have have better length retention for the past three years thanks to washing every week. I only miss a shampoo when traveling.

I stopped co-washing and using silicone free shampoo years ago. The best decision.

That is my favorite Shampoo!

Cowash is nonsense. Your scalp and hair needs to be cleansed. Next DC is next and a good oil.

First of all....you know what I'm going to say 😊 WELCOME BACK I've missed you so damn much 😊 when I saw a notification from you the smile on my face was crazy 😂 anyway, thank you for sharing your tips but can you also suggest some affordable shampoo and conditioners. I've recently been using Aussie Bouncy Curls range. The shampoo conditioner hair mask and the leave in. But if you could also suggest others then I'll try them once the one's I've got have finished but they seem good for my hair atm and I'm loving the scent of them 😂 I keep getting compliments when someone is behind me in a queue 😂 don't know if they're standing too close and sniffing my hair or what 😂 but they have a lovely scent and make my hair feel clean I also shampoo 2x because on one wash it's never going to be clean 😊 sorry for leaving out full stops and commers but I'm very excited to be leaving my favourite girl a message 😂 hope you start making more video/blogs 😊 it's way past my bedtime so I'm ending now but had to watch you 😊 take care ❤🇬🇧

💫✨ Dear Abbie : Just like the color GREEN 🟩 watching the technique and gentleness in shampooing your hair is very 🟩 CATHARTIC. It’s also very informative . . . I see that consistency is crucial and shampooing 🧴 the ends of the hair can assist with length retention ; also, piling products on top of dirty hair & scalp DOES NOT a healthy scalp and hair, make! Wonderful video!! 💫✨

Question @AbbieCurls how often would you say you should wash your hair if it's type 4 and in protective styles? Because I never do wash and goes I only wash and condition my hair then style it. My hair doesn't spend time out and I NEVER use gel (don't like it). Ps. I LOVE ur content😊❤️

Question: In my routine - I co-wash and then shampoo. I do this every wash day because co-washing helps me detangle my hair. Otherwise, I would have to double cleanse - deep condition - and then try to detangle with my deep conditioner in ( I use a really thick one) but it didn't always help in my detangling. What do you recommend?

How long does this take you? I am desperately trying to shorten my wash/conditioning sessions so this was very helopful

I saw a video of someone washing low porosity hair and someone else suggesting washing with conditioner first with the fresh warm water. Is that true? I have the same time of hair and I really want to do right.

Even after I shampoo my hair, I still end up with buildup once I’m out and ready to style. I use a scalp massage brush on the scalp. What could I be doing wrong or what could I do differently?

So that's better to use only cleansing shampoo?

Place your faith on Jesus. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one gets to the Father but by him. Trust Jesus. Repent. Call Out to Jesus Now Have a good day

Hi,,, you look like me,,,it’s weird…seriously…
