Oh wow! THANK YOU for the correction! I’ve never heard it pronounced correctly. Just looked it up after reading your comment. I appreciate the help ❤️

I have 2c-2a hair that also has a damaged wave and curl pattern, so i do not usually need natural hair tips (sometimes i do) however i am becoming a hairdresser and want to be educated in all hair types because this field of work really lacks in adequate type 4 hair care (especially 4c hair) , black hair in general in all honesty. so i am very grateful for your channel and work! I will definitely be studying your channel for the best hair tips ❤️

This was so helpful Latoya, thanks. 😊

Kinky Curly Come Clean contains the chelating ingredient EDTA. This makes it the perfect clarifier for my fine 4c hair.

From what another creator on here, AfrikanHairgod, has explained, most shampoos do contain citric acid, edta...etc as part of the formula. But not in high enough amounts to make the shampoo itself a chelating shampoo. Ideally, the chelating ingredients should be higher up on the list. Of course, I've never used this particular shampoo and maybe it's formulated to be chelating. If it works great for you, then great. But if hard water is a concern for you, then you might want to look into chelating shampoos and see how it works for you.

@divinemsm716 you're welcome. As for suggestions, I have heard good things about the malibu c hard water wellness shampoo and the olaplex clarifying shampoo here on these youtube streets. I haven't tried them myself though. I loved ORS creamy aloe shampoo but it's so hard to find it where I live. Ultimately though, since the current one works for you, I'd suggest you dont change it until a need arises.

Great Information!!

Oh a shower filter! Thanks for the information. I recently talked about dry hair in a video.

Thanks for the suggestions! I really need to look into getting a shower filter. I love the Pattern detangling brush (although I hated it the first time I used it, lol). It goes through my hair like a hot knife through butter and the bristles feel so good on my scalp. I wish Pattern would make a scalp scrubber.

Hey LaToya. I’ve watched almost every KZread video out there about hair and I always keep coming back to your videos. I love that you represent women who have hair like mine and you put out content that different from the vast majority of other hair influences. I appreciate all the knowledge you provide and I’ve learnt a lot from you. I do have a question for you. I don’t believe you’ve put out a video about the texture release. Unless I missed it lol. But is it really as safe as everyone says it is and would you ever try it

@LaToyaEbonyHair

10 ай бұрын

Hey 👋🏾 thank you so much for your kind comment! Texture release - you’re in luck! I have a recent video on it here: SAFE Relaxers. Is This For Real?! **Texture Release** kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIRlpMeidLqYdNo.html To answer your question, I’m happy to see that formulators and chemist are attempting to create products that are more safe than traditional relaxers. There is risk using ANY hair product or chemical. “Safe” to me is relative. It’s safe enough to be on the market and be applied to the hair IF the product is compliant across the world. The US cosmetics business isn’t regulated so I don’t 100% trust everything sold here lol! The texture release breaks the chemical bonds of the hair and then reforms them. Relaxers so the same thing, but uses a more harsh active ingredient. In my opinion, nothing will be safer than keeping the natural texture of your hair. I talk more about my opinions at the end of the video, but I personally wouldn’t try it. I hope the video helps and I answered your question! ❤️

i have hard water but because i clarify frequently i think this helps with hard water effects. im looking to get a shower filter though. great video ebony!

Hard water is the silent hair killer lol! Kudos for clarifying regularly. That shower filter looks 🤌🏾 Can’t wait to get mine.

I think dry air + chelating (btw I didn’t know what that was) but I might need to incorporate that and/or get a water filter. I’ve been thinking about the water filter for a while but I get scared when it comes to installation. Nobody wants a leaky shower head! Great video LaToya, glad to see you posting again❤

The filter from Amazon that I linked has a tutorial from a creator on the Amazon page. It looks helpful!

I only do protein treatments when my hair feels really weak and soft. Can't stick to a regime anyway so listening to Robin and being attentive is the best way to go for me. Some who are more protein sensitive (like fine hair) might benefit from skipping the treatment and just incorporating light protein products into their routine sometimes

My dry hair was caused by heavy metals in henna. It coats the hair and deposits proteins and minerals that makes it hard for water and creams and oils from accessing the shafts. I got OLAPLEX clarifying shampoo yesterday and conditioned and applied leave-in conditioner and shea butter.

Thanks for the tips. I live in the desert and the water is hard, my hair feels like straw most of the time. I have used the Malibu treatment, and had the shower filter i did see a difference. My hair was more defined. It's time to buy more Malibu product along with a good moisturizing conditioner.

It dawned on me I might have hard water damage a few weeks ago. So I bought a filter for that. I noticed a bubble change and moisture immediately after. Plus it did help to do a final rinse with cold water

That is great that the cold water helped. I talked about dry hair recently in an upload.

Portland, OR has some of the softest water in the country, between that and my Ouidad products, I never get build up. Products don’t stop working and I don’t experience build up.

Kazmalaje is pronounced like Cosmology. I was going to mention this brand for seamless products. Glad u mentioned it! I love it! Especially the detangling brush and the comb. The pick is meh.

I definitely agree with these tips. However, I don’t need to invest in a shower filter, because I spritz my hair with distilled water daily and on wash days during the styling process and I deep condition every wash day and protein treat every other wash day. Conair, Annie, and tool structure found at Sally’s and at beauty supply shops are also great combs to invest in, I use a metal pick with a fist on it to detangle and it’s the best! It’s only $3.49 at Sally’s 😊
