Thank you to everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences with this topic. I tend to stay in my little bubble here on my CHANNEL, because I'm tired of constantly having to fight against years of indoctrinated misinformation of natural hair care. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience with natural hair and it has been my life passion and joy ever since I first saw the beauty of my own hair and what it was capable of. Sometimes, I believe that tends to get overshadowed by my personality, vulgarity, and fun shade but I'm happy and willing to share to those that are willing to receive it. Please share this video so we all can have a proper discussion where we all are able to accurately delineate and make informed decisions when it comes to what you decide to do with your hair. I see that I have quite a number of new subscribers from this video. For those of you that liked this video enough to subscribe, I offer you a disclaimer to understand that I am not your typical KZread content creator and I'm not like any other natural hair stylist. I speak my mind and speak my words with conviction and freedom of expression. If you don't like cursing and derogatory language, if you don't like long videos, or if you unwilling to question and relinquish what you *think* you know about natural hair care, I may not be the channel for you. For everyone else, on behalf of our tribesmen, I you welcome to our AFRO TRIBE!

Your body has sebaceous glands everywhere,there are More on the scalp than anywhere on the body. The detox states use no products with oil or butter in the first 5 ingredients. Everyone's hair is different. I did receive some knowledge from watching the trend. Thank you❤

I think some of the science that people are claiming that this challenge has is the fact that many Black people believe that their kinky or curly hair doesn’t produce as much natural oils when in reality it does and with the detox it helps people learn more about how much natural oil their hair produces on its own. (At least that’s one thing I’ve been listening to). Many ppl want to learn about how their hair works naturally without so much product and in return find the things that their hair needs working on. (What’s causing the breakage in their edges, or why isn’t their crown area growing as much, what’s causing a bald spot somewhere, why is their hair so frizzy and more). I’m not for or against this challenge I think whatever works for someone is what’s best for them. But experimenting with your hair to learn more about it is a great idea.

Great video. I am trying the no oils/no butters and I don’t have any issues but I did wonder how my hair has been able to shrink just fine when exposed to water (when I used my butters). I think the problem is improper hair washing - a lot of us stay away from shampoos or do so infrequently. Also, being too heavy handed with oils isn’t ideal either. It all comes down to how people want to wear their hair.

Hi Jenn, love from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦. I have also been following your no oil no butter challenge.

Go Head Narada! Please balance the equation on this topic. People can really block their progress trying all of these random waves in the NHC!

I think you said the key things pretty early on in the video. Do naturals *need* raw oils, butters or grease? No. As they don't provide hold on their own, they can build up making it *harder* (not impossible) for water to get into the strands and and of course disrupt the ability for other stylers to work. You also make a great point about manipulation (or lack of manipulation) and hair memory! Thank you for that. Do they have benefits/things that ppl enjoy? Yes. Primarily shine esp if the hair has a natural dull surface ppl may crave that...and to another extent lubrication/feel... Luckily oils/butters are in all the products we use...shampoo, conditioners and often our stylers. I think these stylists are just attempting to cut out extra steps, simplify the routine and give reliable results... at the salon but most importantly at home, for clients to be able to manage their own hair. And it applies for wash & gos but also twists/flat twists/braids/cornrows (twisted out or left in). Different products are reccomended depending on the style. Layering gels is also another interesting thing that comes down to your climate, your desired look and longevity of style. I think if everyone comes at the information shared at face value and everyone asks questions in 5 years from now natural hair won't be so contentious. However we are creatures of habit and so I am interested to see the journey evolve and play out. I'm closely watching the product developer space and how they adopt or don't adopt what is being said right now. I'm also looking at the products that are moving units in the hair store. Thanks for your video.

Your salon is absolutely beautiful!!

Thanks for the video. Personally I feel the reason many see they are having success from the no oil method is because they are finally washing their hair more, with shampoo. Also, I feel like many were probably going overboard with the amount of oil they used, only a few drops per section are needed in my opinion. I only wear wash and gos myself, and although it's not like my hair will fall apart if I don't use oil, I definitely see an improvement in my hair from lightly applying oil during my wash and go process.

It's like u read my mind..I surely was just thinking "What does Narada think about the no oils and butters trend"????

Lazy Naturals Unite! Yes! This method defiantly seems like it is for wash n go’s which I don’t do anymore. I also deal with bad dandruff, I never really got into heavy oils and butters, and once I found out I was low porosity then I started using a little light weight oils, but sometimes I forget because I’ve just never been a oils or butter natural. I just focus on leave ins. Also yeah, lots of products on the market readily activate my scalp and I’m not trying to deal with that anymore so I’m just leaning towards the botantical, clean ingredients, no dyes/colors, no fragrances, no drying alcohols, not a long shelf life products so I’ll see how it works

You're so right! There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to this stuff. This is just another trend to keep Natural Hair KZread interesting remember: Anti Coconut Oil, Wash n Go Only, No Poo, Hella Long Wash Days for No Reason, doing hella Protein Treatments, and now the No Oil Movement, etc. I tried to cut out oils and butter and do the "wash n go" lifestyle. However, styling just took me longer without it. Keeping my hair stretched with some oils and butter works for me personally.

dont forget the water only movement!

I’ve been avoiding the trendy videos about this topic. I discovered earlier this year that I was doing too much with oils and not enough cleansing. At the beginning of my hair journey I was using hella oil and Shea butter “to seal” in the moisture, since that’s what I learned on yt. But my hair was always so dull and dry. One time I had a really good cleansing session and saw an instant difference in my hair. It made me realize that I had been dealing with product build up and that the oils and butter were just sitting in layers on my strands. I started cleansing regularly and clarifying when needed. Now I only use a leave in and a botanical gel and my curls are always so defined and shiny with minimal product. I take a little bit of mango butter (Shea is too heavy) rub in my hands and put just enough on my ends (not going overboard like before). Hair is so healthy now , it’s a major difference. Shea butter also makes my hair poofy, mango defines it. I do use oils still but strategically and don’t leave them on for long. I may massage some in my scalp the night before my wash day. Or a quick hot oil treatment right before I wash my hair. I’m not drenching myself in oils and butters. At some point I was even using a Shea butter based shampoo , what a nightmare for my strands. I thought I was really doing something lol I noticed my hair is picky too, it just works better with certain oils vs others . my hair actually gets shiny if I use Argan oil, anything else kind of makes it look dull

Thank you for this! I’ve just recently cut my locs off and have been rocking wash n gos with my twa and found this method to be helpful but I agree that the conversation is more towards demonizing oils and butters instead of the proper use of these products. I was starting to get confused because some stylists had conflicting views but this video sums it up perfectly

Wow Narada, what a professional and balanced take on this. Your knowledge and experience explains the "why" - "why not" clearly and truly delivers a voice of reason on the topic. Kudos and thanx

I liked the premiered video, it felt like a live stream!!! I loved your P.O.V on this topic. I style my hair mostly in wash n go's and still love oils for my scalp. I also have used 2 gels for a wash n go based on I didn't like how the gels preformed individually. It's not something I do on a normal basis but I can see why a stylist may do it. Instead of a gel and mousse they use 2 gels that gives the same effect. Now three gels or 3 stylers that's an overk!ll.

That beard is amazing ✨ you’re such a great communicator. Well done!

This is the best explanation and most informative content I have come across. Thank you!

I love the way you provide the critical thought when it comes to natural hair. I use grease in my wash n go and I love how it coats my ends and gives an extra layer of protection it gives my curls.

This is the most grounded and respectful view I have seen on this topic!

Hello Narada, thank you for the clarification in this video!!! ❤️

Great thorough explanation of the use (pros)or nonuse (cons) of oils and butters! Always a pleasure to watch your channel! Very informative! 😊

One girl stated that if you style your hair with oils it will prevent your hair from receiving any moisture like if you’re outside and it’s humid your hair wouldn’t take in any of that moisture. If your hair is so dry that you’re depending on the humidity for moisture there’s definitely something else going on in the styling regimen.

Very professional and clear, well done video.

You've made a lot of great points. Thank you for this.

The only hair stylist I’ll actually listen to 🙏

thank you for pointing out that most of these stylists saying “no butters/oils” are pretty much only offering guidance on curl definition. i started to move away from curl definition because i personally feel like it teeters into texturism (ie. only getting compliments when my hair is defined). idk how helpful it is when i just want to put my hair in a protective style or do not care to define it. also, when i had used to have sisterlocks, i rarely used conditioner or oils (usually used one or both when i’d get them retightened). on my own, it was just a good weekly (or every few days) shampoo and a spray bottle of water between washes. i also no longer suffered from bad dandruff, which i experienced prior, but especially when my hair was relaxed.

This was so helpful and very thourough i actually took notes so i can better manage the way i apply products... or dont lol... to my daughters hair!! Thank you!!

I’m sooooooo glad you made this video! I’ve been thinking about this topic and after every video response or reaction response I kept thinking 🤔 is no one taking into consideration what style you are trying to achieve???? I’m pretty sure the BGC are wash n go stylist, most people doing wash n go’s don’t use a lot of oils and butter we use gel and foams. Also clarifying the hair regularly also helps with moisture retention, I’m a wash n go kinda girl but I love me some avocado oil, argan oil, and jojoba oil. I felt like it was misleading to people struggling with their hair to proclaim something as bad when it’s not it’s just the way products need to be used

Thank you 🙏 for the video,info is appreciated.

Fantastic video! I think the styling outcome a person is looking for should help dictate what products to use. I’m currently trying this method and from my personal experience it seems like a great way to hit “reset” on the hair. If you’re not sure what technique or product is causing your hair not to reach the goals or style you desire it helps deeply cleanse the hair so you can start over. I’ve previously used oils (not too many butters) in a balanced way and always pair my cleansing products (shampoos) with the method I chose to style my hair in. For example, if I choose to use a heavy butter or grease, I make sure to use a sulphate or clarifying shampoo to properly cleanse the hair. I love your approach to this subject. “Less is more!”Haircare isn’t a one size fits all because there are a myriad of factors that contribute to the regimen a person should create to achieve the results they want. Great video!!

Love this perspective and clarity. We def have to make sure we are being more informative when introducing different methods. Education and word choice is key!!! So glad I found you!!! Truly it comes down to learning your hair, understanding what works for you curls, texture and density. I agree wholeheartedly with every single word that fell from your lips in this video, periodt!!! Know what style you're going for and what products will help achieve this look! Bottom line! My hair is fine and I never really been a fan of butters, I recently started using them depending on the style I'm trying to achieve but the amount of butter I use for my twist is so small because I have learned my hair and I know too much oil/butter will weigh my hair down and leave it looking limp and lifeless. LEARN YOUR HAIR FOLKS, LEARN WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, LEARN WHAT PRODUCTS HELP YOU ACHIEVE THE STYLE YOUR GOING FOR AND LEARN WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO HAVE HEALTHY HAIR!

I find it funny how many fights I got into over this issues when you said the same same things. So happy to hear your side and experience on it. I thought I was crazy for thinking I seen it mainly with wash and goes because it seemed obvious to not use butters and oils for such styles. There was so much misinformation that I didn’t know how to sort most of it. So again thanks 🙏

I forgot to add the folks with the “I told y’all we do too much.” Not everyone puts 18 different products and heavy handedly apply conditioner etc. Than using Cowashes or water only washing and AcV to remove it all. I always looked at videos where people glob half the bottle till they hair turn white as doing too much sometimes a quarter size and accurate moisture is all that’s needed to make a product go a long way.

Great discussion Narada 🥰

come thru Narada!!!! 🥰 this was excellent! hope you've been doing well and your skin condition has improved. much love!

I really enjoyed this video. Very informative without being condescending. I just recently watched videos from the founders of 30 day hair detox and suspect the issue is the way the message is delivered rather than the message itself.

I was using the products with heavy oils , such as olive oil. Argan oil. Moccoran oil jojoba oil, black castor oil and Shea butters and my hair would be dry and frizzy the next day. My curls was barely defined. I would get single strand knots. I was cutting knots out my hair almost everyday. I'm trying the 30 day detox and what I noticed my hair isn't dry, curls lasting and no single knots strands fairy knots I just wash cleanse, conditioner, and styling gel and use water to moisturize. So far I'm pleased. Not having the heavy oils and Shea butters in the first five ingredients in the product.

Ok thanks for your take and information you did it with such posse

Yeah, I'm not about the raking and shaking and fluffing every single day!!! I literally wake up and take off my head scarf and go with my flat twists/twists/french braids.

I don’t know how they do it. I would have tapped out of being natural a long time ago if I did 😩

I’m one who hasn’t use oils or butters since I’ve been exclusively doing wash and gos for the past 3 years. It doesn’t cause frizz, it just doesn’t do anything for my hair. I use my leave in that is enriched, as you said, with oils and butter and my gel. That’s it. Occasionally when my hair feels especially dry (ie after I color), I may add a FEW drops after my leave in. Now when I exclusively did twist outs gel did nothing for me. I used oils and I used butters as my primary styler go figure. Also, I haven’t used grease with the exception of sulphur 8 maybe once or twice in over 15 years (through relaxes to natural). My scalp is sensitive and doesn’t like anything heavy on it. Oils were fine when I used them but now my scalp is like naw. Love the live watch parties even though I’m always at work lol!

New subbie here. My mother used hair grease in our hair and our mane was the envy of everyone.

Thank you for providing your experiences with your clients' hair. Big difference from someone doing their own hair. I was waiting for you to debunk this "new" one. And you did.

This is the video for me. Thank you for anwsering the lingering questions in my head.

Thank you for this 🥰

WOW crazy how the universe works! I was literally going to come on here to comment question you about this controversial topic! ThnK you for covering this topic! I'm not going to stop using oils and butters I love them , also your background is 😍😍😍😍😍OMG love it!

Lawd I need to really figure out what works for my hair, been natural too long to not know, ready to do the big chop and start over... Ps.. your salon is absolutely beautiful

Same here. Just did a big chop and trying to figure it all out. But I still use my oils, butters and grease in moderation of course. Wishing us both luck with getting to know our hair.

Thanks for explaining this topic, Narada. I was confused because no one was talking about what to use in place of butters and oils to help retain moisture. Butters and oils are in almost every natural hair care product.

I’m definitely not anti oils and butters and I love hair grease! I do think they have their place, there are hairstyles that require these products and some that don’t. Professionals like yourself know how and when to use them. Thanks for this video. New subscriber from the Uk 🙂

Thank you, for making this video. Folks out here arguing over this mess and it's nice to get a Professional opinion.

Hey Narada, I just rewatched an old wash n go video you did. You used elasta q p hair cream on your client and it looked absolutely beautiful. I’m all for a wash and go that lasts 2 weeks💜💜

Yep I use that on hair that is more naturally defined. They don't need the extra crunch or drying effects of gel. Hair like that just needs some assistance in clumping and soft hold to keep the curls in place.

Thank you so much for that information

I especially like how you start off with “there is no one size fits all”… that right there let me know you know your stuff.

Ooo I’m here for the sit down 🥤🥤🧋🧋🧃🧃

I miss videos from you! This was great to listen to. I think the other sub-topics are worth exploring too so people can better understand.

Thank you for the video very helpful ❤️ maybe you can do a video on how much and when to use some of these oils creams grease or butters 🤗💕💕💕

THE most realist and informative natural hair care video I have seen to date! I'm new on my natural hair journey and even when I had relaxed hair, I never over used product. So to hear you confirm the same thing for natural hair is perfect. Watching some of these videos of influencers scooping product out if the container and plastering onto their hair makes me cringe somewhat. So please continue to speak on subjects of this nature from a professional and qualified perspective. You have a new subscriber in me from 🇬🇧

You said it all, one size does not fit all. I will definitely go bald again if I stopped using oils in my hair and that is what I talk about on my channel but I was attacked by the "no oil no butter" enthusiasts. Let everyone do what works for their hair.

When I initially went natural I was applying A LOT of oil or raw Shea butter to my hair for moisture & shine. But my hair was very greasy, dry and it didn't shine. The last couple of years I realized all I need is water and leave in conditioner. I don't need a separate application of oil/butter. That's what works for me.

@@TheDaneyeledee all products contains oils, the thing is avoid RAW DIRECT oils and butters and looks for product that oils and butter are not in the first 5 ingredients.

This whole no oils & butters thing is not gonna work for naturals like myself who don't have the mental energy or time to mess around in my hair often & wear low manipulation & protective styles. With that said I will fight folks to the death who try to take my softee hair grease from me. To👏🏾the👏🏾death👏🏾

I have been waiting for this 😄😄love ya #AfrikanHairGod

Thank you for a very informative video, has helped me understand my hair a little better. As my hair is transitioning to grey, I'm looking for tips to manage wavy hair with the random 3c-4a at the crown of my head, and drier grey strands. Im experimenting with different formulas to get a routine which will allow my hair to stay moisturised for longer. Luv from London England.

Thanks for such a common sense approach to NH that considers individual choices and reinforcing importance to shampoo, conditioning and not overdoing styling products. Could you give please give some examples of botanical stylers for WNG or protective style?

Examples include Kinky Custard, Uncle Funkys Curly Magic, Obia Curl Enhancing Custard, Camille Rose (the pink bottle gel), etc. You can also make yours, e.g Aloe Vera or Flaxseed gel however, you have to use it at once or put preservative.

I really love your videos. Please never stop making them ❤️❤️

Beautiful salon!

I have been wondering what you thought about this, so annoyed I didn't get a notification. You are always consistent in your opinion on trends.
