Couple notes 1. Water could penetrate my hair with heavy oil and butter on it but water could not ADEQUATELY penetrate my hair to keep my hair flexible and hydrated to have it's best integrity. 2. My hair LIKES and benefits not tolerates a product with oil or butter well formulated into it. If the oil and butter in the product makes sense for the formulation and how I'm caring for my hair the conditioning or lubricating or coating property of the oil or butter is highly beneficial. I had PTSD 😂 from my previous oil and butter use so I was a bit extreme with my language in this vid. 3. My hair has a very low tolerance in terms of buildup. I can literally maintain the health of my hair with a quality moisturizing shampoo, conditioner, and water soluble leave in conditioner. My hair dislike heavy anything (oil, butter, gel, protein, glycerin, you name it). This contributes to why no raw oil or butter or no heavy oil and butter product use works for me.

I never understood how someone could call not using oils and butters anti black. Like you said, it literally can be detrimental to some people’s hair, so why tell the person to still use it? My hair was never hard with oils but the one time I used Shea butter was the only time I experienced the “hard” hair. Then I learned that even though they weren’t making my hair hard, the oils I stuck to were still blocking water from my hair. Now after stopping i learned what my hair is actually supposed to be like and I’m thankful for coming across your channel when I first quit heavy products and stopped doing mid week refreshing and retwisting. Keep doing you. Clearly all those big chops in 2020 have and are still paying off in your hair 1000x.

I'm on week 3 of detoxing and it's been eye opening. I've too have been natural for over a decade, but didn't know what my hair and scalp felt like without buildup on it. After detoxing for two weeks I tried to go back to one of my favorite deep conditioners and was stunned to realize how much build up it left on my scalp the next day (even though I'd thoroughly rinsed it off).

Hi there! Your hair is beautiful! I came across your channel today. I've been trying this for a month now and positive results...softer hair. May try it on my daughter's hair next.

Sis!!! You are preaching to the choir!! I was going through the same thing with hair products and my hair was crispy too. I could never keep moisture in my hair. Even after a deep conditioning!! I suffered major shedding and my hair stayed tangled. I stayed away from wash and go’s I did two strand twists. I did start the 30 day detox by using uncle funny’s daughter curl magic and now the Innersence product line to include I create hold. I now do wash and go’s and my hair is beautiful!! I could not get this curl definition and hold even when I did a two strand twist!! No more shredding, tangles, and dryness!! Thank you for being candid and sharing your hair journey, you are not alone!!

Love your videos your hair always looks SO good.

I love this video so much, and I know you mentioned you might be the minority of people who’s doesn’t like oil but I’m one such person. I understand exactly how you feel but I never knew it was because of the oils, heavy cream and butters that was making my hair dry, hard, brittle and crispy as you mentioned so thanks for speaking about this new trend and for us natural to re-examine if these things are not what our hair needs.

Hello Suzette! I'm so happy you identified with the vid and you're welcome. This wave of hair care info is amazing.

THANK YOU for this video. Many people do not understand that this is a process and it'll take time. I stopped using butters and heavy products in 2018. I was still using about a tsp of oil on wash days as a "sealant." I remember trying to oil my scalp when I had braids because that's what I thought I was supposed to do and chile, my scalp was ITCHY and INFLAMED. I stuck to use aloe gel only on my scalp but now I know to just shampoo and condition. I didn't learn about Black Girl Curls until early March but through learning about what my own hair did and didn't like through trial and error this past decade, it was much easier for me to listen to what they're saying. I hope other people listen too and quit calling it a trend. It's a way out of the mindset that Black natural hair is unmanageable or difficult

I agree! They really simplify things!

When it comes to many styling products I would and still put a lot of water when applying. I actually put my head under the shower and apply those products whenever I use it. I apply it and just about rinse it out. I learned early that those products just sit on my hair and make it dry. This is before I heard of no oil and no butter. But now that I have learned of this method, it made my hair regimen much better and I understand a little more of how to address a better way of treating my hair. One big mistake that I was doing was using two different conditioners. I even tried conditioning first before shampooing and following with a rinse out conditioner. Now I understand why I was having trouble with those conditioners. At that time I thought doing deep conditioning and following with another conditioner was making my hair to shed so I eventually stopped doing it twice. Now I understand why it was a problem. You live and learn.

My hair hates oils & butters too! So happy that I started out my natural hair journey with my big chop done by a curly hair expert - I’m lucky to be in the D.C. area, so I have choices. So I never had to use the trial & error approach. I had a customized approach to my dense, but super thin/fine “type 4” strands. My hair continues to thrive because I give it what it loves - water, water & more water. I’m a wash & go only sister, and my hair loves being done twice a week. That water is key to my routine. And keep in mind, I’m a bleached blonde (done by a colorist), and plan to stay a blonde for the rest of my life. (Gen Xer here, so I’m fighting some grays for sure. Blends much better as it grows in, with the blonde.)

With current science as it relates to Black hair care, the kinkier the hair, the more it loves water. Just because something has been done for thousands of years doesn’t make it correct, or even beneficial. Cosmetology has burned natural hair in the past, but it is evolving, and we need to move with that evolution. Our hair loves water, and the sooner people can let go of the idea that we HAVE to use oils and butters, the sooner we’ll all have our best hair.

Hey Fo! Thank you so much for sharing ☺️ I am nearing the end of my 30 day hair detox and I definitely also feel blessed to have learned so much from BGC. My biggest adjustment was getting over what “moisturized” hair feels like and re-learning that the “touch of dryness” of my hair, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s dehydrated, it’s just set. I am considering re-introducing a leave in again, but want to start light (maybe a spray leave in). Which set style do you typically add a leave in to - twist outs? I fear that adding a leave in under UFD & I create hold may interfere with the performance - but I guess I’ll never know until I try!

Don't let me influence you 😈 I use a leave in for my wash n gos for a very specific reason that would take a minute for me to explain but if I were to use the classic combo of Curly Magic and I Create Hold I would never use a leave in for my hair.

When I asked my stylist how to care for my hair at night and she said just put a bonnet on. I also workout 4days a week and wash my my hair twice a week.

Oh girl...my jam used to be SM curl enhancing smoothie. I paired it w/cold-pressed castor oil to slick my hair back in a pony-puff or up in a high puff. There are too many black-owned brands who use quality ingredients, and no shea butter. No shade, but the Shea Moisture brand should be a last resort. Like stranded on an island, Lol.

I would make sure to re set my hair every 2 days if wearing an air dried set because they tend to tangle in comparison to a set done with a dryer, by simply running water through and finger detangling, adding my water soluble botanical gel, and air drying again until I get home and can do my normal routine with my dryer again.

I used to use the Innersense Color Radiance conditioner per the instruction of my stylist but Innersense products are a little too natural and can trigger my asthma and allergies, so I used Obia for a while. I do think I lost more hair during detangling when I used the Obia conditioner in comparison to the Briogeo. But that could all be in my head because my stylist has validated the health of my hair. I make sure to highlight in my vids that my product usage are not suggestions because I know why I select things can be very particular to me.

Ok. I understand more that detox. I don't use shampoo and mask. I wash my hair with clay, oils or plants. I stopped using powders for mask, I make "tea" rinses (spicies, plants in powder) and I add a table spoon of honey (humectant). Then I mix oils, shea butter and glycerin. It's like a cream and I can make it thick or light.

I have adopted the same regimen. A few years ago we had a drought and water restrictions. Most people then planted all types of aloe. I discovered soap aloe which nobody remembers planting. That's what I wash my hair with or with hibiscus flowers and leaves shampoo. I use oat gel with honey to condition. And use fresh aloe Vera gel to style and I still use a bit of oil on top. I think the trick is to find the minimum your hair needs to thrive.

I am interested but this seems like it applies mainly for wash and go's. We are a twist out family so would this work for us?

I have no idea about women it works for but I can speak on two reference points, my mom and me. My mom has super tiny, smaller than mine, kinky curls that feel like silky cotton and she can use all sorts of things in her hair, including oil and her hair still feels like cashmere. My mom doesn't work to grow super long hair, she has a dope hair cut. In the context of her hair I can see how oil can "work." Oils don't make her hair hard or brittle and cause breakage and she's not trying to grow her hair out so if there is breakage it won't be evident. I gave my mom all my oily buttery hair products. Just about anything works on her baby soft hair.

Okay disclaimer: Using a leave in is unique to my hair and how I apply products, if your stylist recommends not using a leave in follow their instructions or speak to them about how you would like to use a leave in. Okay so your question, I use a leave in for many reasons, one of them being I don't apply my Curly Magic in the shower to soaking soaking wet hair. I apply it outside of the shower so my leave in prevents my hair from drying out more than I would like as I work the Curly Magic into each section. I apply CM outside of the shower because I noticed that my topper (The Doux Mousse Def) works better on my hair when it's damp and the CM wasn't applied to soaking wet hair. My routine deviates from what I was taught and is unique to me and the condition of my hair. Since doing my hair this way my stylist has validated the health and appearance of my hair as satisfactory.
