Hey Curlfriends! Do you have your Natural Hair Care Wisdom Flash Cards to learn more about the best ingredients and methods for your hair type to help you save time and money? If not here's a promo code just for you "Wisdom10". You can get your copy here: curlychemistry.com/product/flashcards/ 🙂

I would also like to add this to your list: stop being afraid to cut your ends. My hair started growing rapidly and looks healthier because I trim it every 8 weeks

I grew up washing my combs and brushes in hot sudsy water every time I get my hair washed.

Speaking of the scalp…STOP suffocating it with holding gels and edge controls…your scalp health is more important than trying to achieve straighter “part lines”, “slick edges”, etc.

The last habit of not comparing my hair is something I’m still working on.

I understand what you are going through. I somehow managed to compare my hair with others the moment I gravitated towards content of creators with the same texture as mine. This has helped tremendously. Instead of comparing I get motivated and somehow assured that even my own hair can reach that level of health and growth. I hope this helps🙏❤

I don't compare my hair anyone's hair because I now know I have 4c high porosity hair. I'm learning that my type of hair is difficult to maintain, breaks easily, falls out, and doesn't grow much, if at all. Knowing that, I have a routine to deal with my hair.

That last one right there. This is major for me. I look at hair styles and wonder why I can't get my hair like this

This is why I like the Felicia Leatherwood style brushes. After I finish styling my hair it immediately goes in the sink with hot water and a little bit add liquid hand soap. They're super easy to keep clean if you watch them right after you finish using them. I don't even use this paddle style brushes anymore because I don't want to deal with the gunk. Edit: I started incorporating the acid wash in my shampoo routine and my hair has literally never been softer or more manageable. This week I'm going to start doing an oil rinse also!

It took me years of self research to find these ingredients (and a few others before I found your channel). Then info given right there in a few videos and I was so amazed. Don’t research anymore just come here now.

I don't really look at ingredients, I just have a few favorite products.

So good. Love all of your videos ❤❤❤

I appreciate your videos and all the information you pass to your audience.

I love a good aloe vera juice, castor oil, and shea butter combo for my hair! Doesn’t weigh my hair down, cause I don’t use a lot of the products at one time and it’s super moisturizing for me 😍

Yesss, being Thankful for everything is so helpful!!

Beautiful Flowers!! Thanks for the hair tips !!

Hey curly girl! I learn great things from your channel though my hair is dead straight white hair, with some "cow licks" thrown in. I have learnt the error of my ways in regard to conditioning as my hair is pretty fried. Thanks for your channel! :)

I love all your videos! Have you ever done a video on jheri curl juice/activators? That stuff used to keep my hair moist!

My 1st favorite is aloe, second is anything with Argan oil😊 Thank you for being so informative ❤

Dimethicone. Gives awesome slip to my hair and my kid’s hair. Bad habit of chopping my hair when it gets to mid back. I’m scared it’s going to break off and chop off more than I should. I say I’m not going to do it and it happens everytime😂

Compare and despair!

This is so insightful! Definitely stopped comparing my hair because it was causing me breakage anyway 😂. My favorite ingredient is hydrolyzed collagen this ingredient makes my hair so soft and bouncy😊

I love mint in conditioner. IDK, something about it just makes the conditioner work perfectly.

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium is pure joy for my hair. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us!

I am not familiar with particular ingredients but I do look for products that say sulfate-free. I have very curly hair that gets Tangled easy and I try to find products that have a lot of slip otherwise I would never be able to get a comb through my hair.

I really hope you’re able to see this comment! I absolutely love your videos as I’ve never looked at science in a way to enjoy it, I’m currently using the product recommendations you have for low porosity and my hair has made a huge difference! I do have a video suggestion, over the years my hair has lost its curl pattern, it’s actually gotten looser, or it doesn’t curl at all. Could you recommend some tips and products to help with detox? My mom won’t let me big chop so I would like to give my hair another chance 😊

I get excited when I see Aloe, water certain oils. Question? If a person works out at the gym at 6 days a week how often should they wash and condition? When I was working out like that I had to wash and condition at least 3 times a week bc of the sweat and salt build up on my scalp. It was irritating to my scalp.

Aloe! My hair just loves aloe. I buy anything that has aloe high in the ingredient list. 😂

My favorite hair ingredient, hands down, Argan Oil. Anytime a product has argan oil in it, I know it's going to work wonderful on my hair.

Water and aloe are my two.

Do you consider co-washing “washing” your hair. I only do wash and gos so my hair is constantly out…and they only last 1 maybe 2 days 😩. So I have to wash my hair often (3, sometimes 4 days a week). I’ve tried quite a few gels but nothing will hold my curls; the definition is gone and my hair gets fro-ish. Any suggestions?

I can't speak to any research done on the topic, but I never trusted that kanekalon with my hair. It's devoid of any natural oils and feels so hard! And it doesn't have the same elasticity and natural anti-static properties of real hair either... If I wanted to use fake hair in my braids I would use plenty of leave-in conditioner with lots of slip. After all, some people do grow their hair with fake hair so it's possible.
