Have you been moisturizing your hair properly?

- MOISTURE = WATER - dry hair is more prone to breakage - spritz your hair/scalp with water regularly (ie every morning) - LCO/LOC method (leave in conditioner, cream, oil / leave in conditioner, oil, cream) - use heat protectant when blow drying and try to blow dry your hair less often - make sure the first ingredient in the shampoo you ant to buy is water because MOISTURE = WATER - protect your hair in the heat / in dry weather - drink lots of water - deep conitioner - protect your hair when youre going to sleep (use a scarf/bonnet)

I would like to say, grease has been my saving grace as a lazy natural, and so far I went from ear to chin to shoulder length in about a year, and from shoulder to bra strap length in a less than half of 6 months*! (I also keep my hair stretched since I have type 4a/b strands❤

Water only wash once weekly and pulling my natural oils down with a clarifying cleanse once monthly is what works for me. No other products wxcept every blue moon I may add an oil to my ends, but that's rare. I've always had an extremely itchy scalp and using any product to moisturize causes issues.

I loved it when she said, “….my hair was like: Send Help”. 🤣 YEESSSS!!! My hair has really grown since my big chop a year ago and I realize that I need to be even more concerned with providing moisture and deep conditioning to the FULL LENGTH of my strands. This requires (of course) more product and more TIME. But - This video was the “get it together and do it” that I needed. Going to subscribe….Now. Thank you for this video….So much!!! 🥰

I saw your big chop browsing through your videos. Your hair has grown so much. I have been following your tips. Just did your deep conditioning method with Bentonite Clay 2 days ago. Loved it. I was bumbed with natural hair but after watching your videos, I will hang in there a little longer. Thanks Shell ❤

I love how you are so thorough without dragging it on and putting in useless fluff like some of these other youtubers! New subbie here!

Thank you, Shell!! 🥰

i will have to definitely watch this again. but your hair videos have help get my hair as beautiful and healthy as it’s been in a long time 💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷💕🌷

So naturally beautiful!!

Girl ur hair is flourishing i love all ur hair videos thanks for ur tips and encouragement i will definitely try it out.

One thing I learned about my 3c hair, never strip it so that you have to overload it with some products that damage hair and throws off sebum balance. My scalp would flake and hair would get brittle only when Im using a bunch of products. Products with too much fragrance and certain preservatives and alcohols have damaged my hair severely. These companies try sell smells and curl definition that come from synthetic chemicals found in gels, than actually develop only healthy nutrient rich oils and butters moisturizing products. Products should support improvement in your hair, not just when it has the product in it. I learned some products just coat for a desired stretch and hold, but unfortunately, when its out, your hair doesnt look so great. Healthy hair will look healthy and have elasticity on its own. When i got a short haircut, I only used moisturizing shampoo, no conditioner and a cream as a styler. I couldnt believe how bouncy and shiny my hair was. I looked more like a 3a-b in curl as well. Then I started trying all these products and now my hair feels like velcro and my ends actually grip together. When Ive used bleach, it was never this bad. I knew but I was quickly reminded that some products actually damage hair; less is more, check your ingredients, and clean hair is best for growth.

Great advice, Thank you😊

Thank you Queen 💜

Hair Tips! Thank you for sharing.👍🏾

Thanks again!!

Your hair is beautiful... always flourishing 🌺

Thank you for sharing this information. I will try this method.

Thank you so much for sharing these tips! Summer is the hardest for me moisturizing wise so I know I need to deep condition more. Thank you this is very helpful!

Your hair is so beautiful and I know that it has been a long journey to get to where you are!

Just subscribed. I took your advice for my low porosity curly hair. I did a pre poo wash then hot oil treatment and then I deep conditioned. It took a while but well worth it! I did the LCO method and my curls were popping with shrinkage and looked moisturized and felt soft to touch and bouncy. I put it up in pineapple with satin scrub hue and wrapped with satin scarf and satin bonnet to keep the scarf in place. Also have satin pillowcase. Thanks for your much needed advice!!!

Shell your hair has grown so much! Beautiful ❤ Im growing my hair back from a tapered cut and its already collarbone length, im shooting for bra strap length by the end of the year.

thank you so very much , so much information 🤍

Thank you for the tips. Just subscribed ❤

Your hair is so beautiful!

You need to be a hair model. You do so many things well!

Love this video Thank you

Moisturizing is the key to naturally curly hair. Thanks for the video ❤❤❤❤

Hey Shell! ❤ Bout to go Spritz right now .

Thanks for this video. Rather than just watch, I hit pause and started moisturizing.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!❤😂

You are so beautiful♥️ and i love your hair💕💕

Thanks for the hair tips. What products do you use for your LCO method? My hair is so dry😢

Thank you for your time and the excellent quality that you put into demonstrating and explaining the terminology and the benefits of each product and method. ❤

Yes, queen. You and your hair is beautiful. Shea butter is what I use and black seed oil. Been really good for me. Love the content, beautiful. ❤️

its the intro for me 🔥🔔

Thank you soooo much

Best tips!

You are very BEAUTIFUL ❤ Will you consider doing a video including the products ( your leave- in, oil ) you use to moisturize your hair and “ break down “ how to obtain our porosity ? Thanks in advance …

This came at the right time. I truly was about to give up on my natural hair. Im not sure what that means, but i was thinking relaxer, lace front, idk. I just put it up in a bun everyday. I literally have given up all hope. Its constantly dry everyday. I tried everything...but consistency. It was so easy when i did the big chop to keep it moisturized, but now with only shoulder length it is so difficult to maintain. Thanks sis for the words of encouragement in your video. I will try your tips and try to see if i can remain consistent ❤.

Beautiful 🤩

Oh, I forgot to say I love your video.

Hello, I watched and will be purchase the products. Been natural now 3.5 years and only wear my hair when silk pressed. Love in Florida and want to start wearing my hair. Will give you a follow up once I try all of your suggestions. Your so right I’m at my breaking point and I’m about to go back to a perm….😢

Thank you so much I been following all your steps in every step that I follow with different videos. It works thank you now I’m trying to get my edges back.😂😂😂#1fan

Exactly

Hey 💖 here for it

Thank you. I appreciate all the wonderful information that you share with us. :)

Great 👍🏾 video Michelle!! Loved ❤❤ it! Very informative and easy to implement. Thank you!! #LOVEANDLIGHT

I've started adding a tablespoon of honey to my flaxseed gel when I make it to help me retain hydration throughout the week (I was skeptical about leaving honey in my hair), and it's been working so well and lasts longer.

Please do a video on hair prosperity

ive been so sad over my naturally long and thick hair breaking and shedding, not understanding why bc I've always made an effort to take care of it. But if you aren't taking care of it properly and following all the right steps consistently, effort doesn't matter.

I love your video❤ I have wavy hair.

We need a full wash day routine ! So we can see the products

My hair loves grease too☺️ I wish there were oil-in-creams for curling products without greasy feel, just shine.

My hair needs ALL THE HELP right now. I’m really considering chopping it all off! I might just go short and curly for the rest of my days, but I love my straight hair flowing down my back 😩😩😩

@simplyshell417 would you prefer water vs a water based leave in spray? Also for a guy with coils that stays in for month and shouldn’t get wet at all while, what do you suggest to help maintain moisture?

Your hair is gorgeous and have gotten so long. I would like to see a video on hair porosity😊

okay i want to know how long did it take you to see results? because i know everyone is very different but i have been trying the black seed oil and i have not seen much growth in my hair or haven't seen a difference i might be doing it wrong but I would just like to know so i know if it takes a year with no results to change something.

Hey Shell happy Saturday love your video ❤❤❤

I have learnt that my scalp and hair hate shampoos especially cleansing ones so what I use is conditioner to wash my hair and when truly needed I will use a moisturising shampoo or bentonite clay

i love when she’ll talks

Tried to listen to this while making coffee. Ended up moisturizing my hair instead. Thank you helpful reminder, very helpful information. ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for taking the time and breaking down tips to help our natural hair journey. I’m still a baby natural and have only been natural for a year. Question…how do you use aloe Vera juice (not the plant) in your hair?

Ali Kay naturals is the goat! I was so sad when I found out I was allergic to coconut oil because I can’t use it anymore.

Woah. So many great tips. This was an awesome video. She did a great job. Thanks for these wonderful tips Sis, and that sponge demonstration is something I won't forget. Best tip for me was to look for water as the first ingredient in products. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I been trying to fine sage and honey.or please tell me when or what to add honey with is use honey for sweetener. Thanks with this question.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼 Thanks!

What steps do you take as far as washing conditioning deep conditioning and put the honey and or how do you go about doing that is there a certain way should you just , can you condition hot oil and not shampoo it out thank you

Sebhorreic dermatitis + low porosity... cant leave oil in hair. So I started washing daily. DC w/oil and deep conditioner. Wash. Condition all in a warm hot shower

I am new to natural hair and I am trying to do the wash and go but I just can’t get the right products to use because there is so many can you give me some ideas

Thx for these tips. How do u use the aloe vera juice in the moisturizing process?

My biggest problem besides Alopecia (it’s growing back btw🥰) is single strand knots…

Even if it says water be very careful of the types of silicone & ingredients a lot of companies are private label & be a bottle of hair shed ❤

Thank you for the info, but it isn't clear to me how to use some of the info. Water-clear. Condotioner-clear. Aloe-are you only using the juice? Any benefits to outside? Are you adding this to the water, leave in, or a step in between? I have never seen this at a grocery or do I need to find a store like a TJoes? Honey-what step would this be added? If added to something what would/should be the ratio? Also if this is covered in another video, please share the link as I dont have the deep history. TIA as I look forward to learning.

Porosity video please

Hey girl I have a question. I’ve been transitioning for about 7-8 months now and I feel like my hair is not growing and I would like it if you recommend maybe like a mask or something that help my transitioning to natural Hair journey?xxx

My biggest mistake was not spritzing my hair with some moisture water mix throughout the week PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LADIES spritz your hair 2-3 days if the week and your hair will THANK YOU 💖 I was doing everything I was doing deep conditioners I was doing DIY deep conditioners and everything and that stuff will help you grow your hair BUT if your hair is dry, it will break so please seal your ends with oil and spritz your hair with a moisture mixture of your choice like leave in mix with water in a spray bottle aloe vera in a water bottle just something to give your hair some hydration throughout the week💖

Thank you for this video, I wanna ask,do you have any suggestions on how to deep conditioned your hair, When they are in plats? I would normally wash and deep conditioned my hair every 4-5 weeks, I don't wash my hair that often, but I am, wetting it twice a day and putting oil and cream in it 2-3 times a week 🤷‍♀️❤️

Adding a creamy leave in in my spray bottle and spraying my hair is that consider moisturizing it? I wear mini twist and do not want to add leave in directly on my twist

Let not forget our hair is dead. Thanks for the lesson though good talk 💫

Hey Shell I've been watching u for sometime now I have alopecia, I have low porosity hair what method do u recommend for low porosity hair lco or loc? Thanks in advance for your response 💚🧡

I love the intro song 🕺🏾🕺🏾😂

Please drop a video about hair porosity. I wanna grow my hair and I'm clueless. Help!!! I'm about to do a big chop.

New subscriber 🎉

So what products should we use because I seen that some of the products I been using have alcohol in it but the first thing is in the ingredients is water so should we stay away from it or are there some products that don’t have alcohol in it?

Quick question here 🙋🏾‍♀️ , can or could you use cloves in ur clarifying shampoo ??

❤ what is the link for your bonnets again?

I agree with everything that you said except all hair that is shorter than the rest doesn't necessarily mean breakage, since our hair grows at various times and lengths. Therefore, the only way to have even hair is to trim. I'll keep it uneven until I reach my hair length goal 😊🎉

Please what are your go to hair products?

Thumbs up baby 👍❤

It has to do with genetics too! Your hair will grow with pink lotion 🤨or blue grease.

When you sprits it do you have to redo the oil and cream method?
