Why do you spread false information, over complicating our hair? My hair is high porosity, coily, and medium-high density. I use two products in my hair: water and gel. Either Kinky-curly custard or Curls blueberry bliss jelly. I wash my hair weekly, mist my hair with water every morning, and it stays hydrated, coily, soft, and healthy. Air dry only, there’s no need for a blow dryer. My hair never looks dry. Our hair isn’t complicated at all, it’s people who overcomplicate it saying you need to you use 50 different products which isn’t necessary at all.
The information I provided was highly researched. It was meant for those who want to understand the intricacies of their hair, not to make anything complicated. I am glad that you have been able to find what works for you. I appreciate you watching my video and for your comment. Others have found it very helpful, I hope you have a blessed day. Also, I have been a stylist for almost 2 decades, and this information comes with my experience as well.
Lovely ❤❤
Now u delivered a master class! Thank u
You are very welcome
This was so very helpful! Thank you for sharing your time and expertise.
I am glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and for your comment.
Omg!! Yyyyyy cant i find a male barber to give me what i want..a perfect cut like this😢
Oh my! Queen what state are you located. I need your assistance
So pretty!
Thank you! 😊
On your website, your wash and go bundle says it’s recommended for type 4 low porosity hair. If our hair really isn’t low porosity, do you still recommend those products?
Thanks very helpful
i appreciate this video now we can just stop being mis-educatedon our hair
I decided to try this because I had ordered the Honey Almond Shampoo & Conditioner, the Organic Styling Gel & the Mizani Perfect Coil Oil Gel from your Amazon. I already had a 3 row comb. I did everything you explained in this tutorial. Practice makes perfect with how you explained how to comb product through with the comb but I think I did pretty good. I like the product & how my hair looks. I will just need to make sure my hair is completely dry before I tie it up for bed.. Thank you so much❤❤
Could you please provide links and alternatives to the products you suggested? These products don’t seem easy to find
I just ordered your products Tuesday & the comb. Already had one but without tail. I can’t wait & just praying I can do it…
I love her hair & hope I just purchased the correct products until I can get to your studio ❤
Wow! Well I just purchased several of your products but looking for what should be used to wash build up out of my hair….
Hello. Thank you for your purchase. The deep cleanse shampoo will gently remove the build up form your hair.
Lovely!🎉 Yes.🎉
Very informative! Thank you.🎉❤ Stay beautiful.🎉❤

Honestly this doesn’t make sense . Some black people have hair that the water beads up on when wet and others soak up the water. Some of us have high porosity and some of us have low porosity hair. If this information were true peoples hair wouldn’t react to water differently after getting chemical relaxers. Whether the hair is clarified or not there are differences in porosity. And the creator of this video doesn’t even wear natural hair nor is it long and healthy… why are y’all listening to this information as if it’s of value smh
Thank you for your comment. You are right at the time I didn’t have natural hair. However I have been working with tight curls for over 13 years as a licensed stylist and have done the research. I included the studies in the video and description. I am not sure if you have seen any of my other videos. I now have a natural taper and grew my hair out over the last two years using the methods I describe in the video. Thank you again for watching and for your comment.
I think there are studies that have shown that Black hair tends to be porous. Two anecdotes: 1) I remember a big thread of women sharing their hair-analysis results. Many of these women swore they were low porosity, but for most, their analyses actually showed them to be high or normal porosity. I think most of these KZreadrs who say they're low porosity fit this bill. I can think of one who says she's low porosity, yet her hair always dries as she styles; and another one who says he's high porosity, but his hair immediately soaks up water when he wets it. 2) I'm high porosity and water beads up on my hair. This was addressed in the video. Evidently, Black hair is hydrophobic.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you 😊
In South Africa we call an undercut, a mushroom cut
You are awesome Thank You! This is beyond helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for taking the time to teach us how to manage our natural hair.
You are so welcome
you can tell she got good hair by how fluffy it was at the start. this that fake 4c that the girls swear is kinky but really its just dry. I got that real 4c.
How is it fake? There is nothing indicating that she has 4C hair. Also 4C hair is good hair.
I wanted to be a foam girlie so bad, but I have to face the facts that my hair texture is too ghetto for foam and I need a heavy gel. Thank you for breaking it down for us.
Beautiful
Yes, let’s discuss further..
Yes. Please explain why the hair typing system is invalid. I have been natural for years but, through trial and error, I am now seeing a big improvement in the health of my hair. I also want to know more about maintaining my natural hair from wash day to wash day without over manipulating my hair. I am a new subscriber. 🙂
I have the idea to steam with my leave in condition before styling, is that a good idea? Or just keep it to doing it with a rinse out conditioner? Thank you!
Hi and interesting video for the work put in sharing the book/articles/ research but at 06:00 you made a conclusion that does not make sense with what you said in my opinion. You said our hair cuticles have more oils in than other ethnicities, so we don't need oil. How can you make such quick conclusion. Our skin and body is mainly made of water still for proper care we all need to drink water and moisturize our skin with water content products. You also make this conclusion because we have more oils than other ethnicities... But so what? Our hair texture is different than other ethnicities so how can we use other hair types to know how much oil we need or not. We may have more naturally but we may still need additional oils to manipulate our unique hair texture. Finally you clearly say that our ancestors in Africa used oils and butter to manipulate African hair but still your conclusion is that we don't need it... Don't you think they knew what they were doing... Also when we use oils and butter the goal is not to make it into the cuticles but only to lay it on top/lubricate, smooth the cuticules (same as other conditioning ingredients) the hair to make the hair feels softer and more manageable. So the fact that we may have more oils in the cuticle can't change the fact that having oil/butter on top may also help when used the right way of course.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for the opportunity to dive deeper into the nuances of hair care, especially as it pertains to afro-textured or type 4 hair. The points you've raised are important and deserve a thoughtful response, grounded in the scientific insights shared in the video. The video's discussion on hair porosity emphasizes the inherent characteristics of type 4 hair, including its natural lipid content and the structural predisposition that influences moisture retention. It's crucial to understand that the video's conclusion is based on a detailed analysis of the hair's physical properties and the role of oils and butters in contemporary hair care practices. Regarding the use of oils and butters, the historical context provided in the video highlights why these practices were adopted and how they have evolved. It's fascinating to see the adaptation from traditional methods to modern understandings of hair health. The video suggests that while the intention behind using oils and butters-to lay on top of the hair for lubrication and manageability-remains relevant, the scientific perspective offers insights into why these might not be necessary or beneficial for everyone, especially considering the high lipid content and hydrophobic nature of type 4 hair. The goal of the video is not to dismiss the historical knowledge or the experiences of those who find oils and butters beneficial but to present a perspective based on scientific research and the specific needs of type 4 hair. It recognizes the diversity within hair care practices and encourages viewers to consider how different approaches may or may not serve their unique hair needs. Your analogy of our body's need for water, despite being largely composed of it, beautifully illustrates the complex relationship between inherent properties and external needs. Just as our understanding of hydration has grown more sophisticated over time, so too has our understanding of hair care. The video aims to contribute to this ongoing conversation, offering insights that might help individuals make informed decisions about their hair care routines. I hope this response provides a clearer picture of the rationale behind the conclusions drawn in the video. It's through discussions like these that we can continue to learn from each other, combining scientific research with personal experiences to find the best approaches to hair care. Thank you again for engaging so thoughtfully with the content, and I look forward to continuing this enriching dialogue.
