WASH DAY ROUTINE FOR 4C HAIR (3 HOURS OR LESS) | FROM START TO FINISH
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I am sharing my wash day routine, from start to finish, all under 3 hours. This is to show you that 4C hair doesn't have to be complicated and anyone can do it. I try to do this consistently for my dry 4C hair and the results are amazing. I am always left with moisturized, soft hair.
Despite the time it takes to film a video, this routine took me 3 hours to do. If you can spare 3 hours a week on your hair (and you don't have to do this in one seating), your hair will love you for it.
PRODUCTS USED:
1. Almond Oil
2. Kinky Tresses Shampoo
3. TGIN Deep Conditioner layers with Melanin Hair Care Leave in Conditioner
4. Melaning Leave-in & Twist Elongating Curl to style
What is your hair routine like? Let me know below. If you have any questions of requests, leave them down below as well.

Yess, I cant deal with these 72 hour washdays. All I do is wash, deep condition, LCG with ors hair lotion and blue magic. Then I stretch it with braids and style the next day. I only prepoo when taking out a protective style. This method is great for my parents pockets because im a teenager. I have 4b with some 4c, medium porosity and medium density.

I recently have started my natural hair journey. Your videos have been SAVING me. I used to wash my hair "like Becky". I lost so much hair from the detangling process, it was such a matted mess. I recently washed my hair following this video. I pre pooed overnight. I washed my hair in SECTIONS and oh my gosh. Life changer. It helped SO MUCH. My hair was so soft from the pre pooeing and easy to detangle from washing in sections. As I did my two-strand twists, I didn't have to use my spritz bottle as much as I used too either. I love your technique and I plan on using it every time its time to wash my hair. Thank you so much Jenn!

It's really satisfying to watch even though it's poses a worst nightmare . Three girls with 4c hair type is no jokes to maintain.
I used to comb out my hair twice during my wash days. Once when detangling and once when styling (or setting the style). I'd have fist size balls every time 🥺😥 Now I've learned once is enough. Thanks for the tips! Shout out from Ug 🇺🇬❤️
So i have to say I love your personality. You have an infectious smile and so authentic and beautiful. I enjoyed your video . There is something therapeutic about watching a complete wash day video maybe because I always look fwd to washing my hair too because I'm obsessed with my hair. I'm a new subby 🤗🤗💕💕🥰

Much love from me and keep smiling too♥️
I am so proud of you like your mom would be. I think you’re so smart and your videos are always very informative and on point. Your own natural hair results are a testament of how serious you take the challenge of researching, experimenting so we can reap the benefits. Thank you for what you do.

Your hair came out perfect! Melanin hair care twisting cream is the bomb so I’ll def have to check out the leave in. Another line that’s amazing is the Curls Dynasty products, they’re conditioners have so much slip (plus they’re 🇭🇹 owned so we gotta rep)!! Loving the consistency of your uploads, keep the videos coming!

Thank you for sharing your routine! Hi hair twin! 😊 😍 I apply selsun shampoo to scalp and conditioner to hair and deep condition. Then add a little more sulfate free shampoo and wash out in shower, retwisting sections like you. I apply the conditioner again before styling as a leave in. I only use OGX brand. I like the blue bottle argan oil conditioner for it's thick consistency. I use it as a deep conditioner with heat, leave in and moisturizer, on my skin sometimes too. JBCO too... I'm so glad we have KZread to learn from one another. We should all also understand that while our hair is similar it's still different and has different needs. There are so many variables from person to person (health issues, diet, water quality, climate, etc). TFS 😊
I love your twists.
Thank you very much! You are a lifesaver
I thank you so much for this video l have been searching for how to take care of my hair. I have had a perm for a long time and decided to stop getting a touchups. I was getting my hair Braided. But l want to learn how to do my hair myself so this video is the answer to prayers. I have been struggling with my hair,so thank you so much. I will continue to look for your videos. I have learned so much about my 4C hair my prayers have been so thank you again.

This video gave me LIFE. Jenn, I can't thank you enough. I've watched tons of hair care videos and I'm pretty far along my natural hair care journey, but your video is one of the few where the person and the content felt so relatable. Let's start with the opening scenes with your hair in that FINEEEEE twist-out style! I've done twist-outs before but I'm not creative with it, but seeing how you pinned it to give extra pizazz has inspired me. And then seeing that your hair length is ACTUALLY CLOSE TO MINE. So many hair vloggers have super long hair that feel unattainable, but seeing you look so great and confident in similar mid-length hair gave me an immediate feeling of relief, like I'd found the right place. I absolutely laughed out loud when you appeared in your matted twists and were honest about how you just had not been in the headspace to take care of it. I feel like so many hair care videos start out with the person's hair already looking great. But because my life is so busy, I usually wash biweekly and by the time I get to it, it looks like how you started in this video. I felt so seen. Then the fact that you admitted grocery bags work better than hair caps but you're trying to look cute for the video--another 1000 points in my book HAHAHAHAH. Again, so many hair care videos show fancy shmancy products but sometimes it's the simplest tools like leftover grocery bags that do the trick, and I'm so HAPPY to see an example of that because it means my methods aren't so crazy! I again laughed out loud when you showed the massacred hair in the bathtub that we've got to clean up because it further grounded this video in reality. Then you again killed me when you said how you always dread wash day because it's gonna take time, but then you end up jamming out to tunes and the scalp massage feels so good for the body/soul so you always end up enjoying it--THAT'S SO ME. Lastly, the fact this video says a full wash routine takes 3 hours SENT ME OVER THE MOON. A friend made me feel bad that my wash took at least 2-3 hours--and that's if I'm just doing twists--a bun takes more time to get it perfect--so I wondered if I was just slow. But I couldn't see much room for improvement--finger detangling, washing the hair section by section, then moisturizing while being careful to not re-tangle the hair--IT TAKES TIME, GOSHDARNIT. And you showed I'm not crazy! Thank you, thank you for this video! And your tip about just washing the scalp may help me shave some even more time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Jenn, first time seeing any of your videos. You are FUNNY!! Thanks for sharing your energy with us!

This is my routine as well. It takes me about 1.5 to 2 hours. And like you. I detangle from start to end. I pre poo with an oil mix of Avocado, Olive and JBCO. I finger detangle from rinsing out the prepoo, during my shampoo, during my application of the deep conditioning, and then using a wide tooth comb during the leave in application of the L.C.O. method. Then I style. Its been working well. Lol. I have also been using the Melanin haircare line and my 4a/b hair loves it.
Yes, I dread it too. It's because it appears to be an overwhelming task; but when you take it in steps, and do something soothing or entertaining like listening to music, it becomes a joyful experience. I have the entire Melanin system too. It does make your hair feel like BUTTER.

Just stumbled on your channel today... I've watched quite a few of your videos by now and I'm motivated. My hair is about your length and seems similar in texture, but it sheds/breaks a lot and I'd been thinking of cutting it off. I'm gonna try some of your tips in my routine and the protective style challenge for the next couple of months to see if I can rescue my hair. That aside, I love your channel.

Same kinky, coily, slinky tezrure. I love my 4c hair. Who can wear a twa, stretch with single twists, have that coily bounce back afterward? 4C!!!!! I wash once a month, now I'm ok with the hair ball because mine is 3x's the size but now I see that it's okay. Yours is with a weekly wash. What a relief. I prepoo with warm cod liver oil, it feels so good on my scalp. I wash then use an avocado mask, wash and twist. During quarintine I've switched to avocado because aloe vera is nowhere to be found. But my hair is softer (frizzes easily still but...) from the avocados. No box braids during quarantine and I'm eaiting to see if it still grows. I keep braids for growth, but not going to the hair store for NOTHING right now.
I love your routine. I wear my hair straight for 6 months and then curly for 6 months. After 6 months of wearing my hair straight, I forget my wash day process and always have to search for a new one. Yours is great! I love your visuals. And the process from start to finish is short.

I don’t think you will get hygral fatigue if you’re not washing your hair everyday. Every day is a lot of water but if you’re only washing once a week your hair will be fine. And constantly adding oil to your hair is preventing it from being truly hydrated.. that being said, I love your videos and your personality 👍🏾

Kammara Jackson I think it depends on what oil is being added to truly moisturize...some oils are sealants (grape seed , castor) while others actually penetrate the hair shaft (avocado, olive). But honestly I think hygral fatigue is a non factor for 4 hair types. Our hair craves moisture, hard to believe that there can be too much water for something that’s so naturally dry.
I love you 😭😭😭 omg seriouslyyyy ♥️
