If you skip conditioning, you should spray your hair down with aloe juice or diluted acv at the very least. Then rinse it off. You need something to bring the cuticles back down after blasting them open with shampoo. Leave-ins aren’t typically formulated for that. Side note, you’re *very photogenic* ✨

Omg your hair is gorgeous and thick! I love the shape of it too. How long did it take you to get to that length? Love the demo and review. I love me some Cécred truly. It works well on my relaxed pixie and it honestly makes my hair grow faster than I’d like since I’m bald headed by choice. I recently decided to transition back to natural because my active lifestyle is making it difficult to keep the pixie up, so I’ll def keep Cécred in my arsenal. Great video, thanks for sharing.

@@sharicebryant8149 thank you for the kind words and for watching 💖. So i first started growing out my relaxer in 2009. In 2010 I cut the remaining relaxer out, and then in 2012 I did another big chop super low to my head. I’ve been natural for about 15 years and it’s been 12 years since the last big cut. Since then I’ve gotten other cuts and things, but nothing as drastic as the 2nd big chop. So I guess you can say I’ve been growing it that long. And I’ve been hearing a lot of ppl say they’ve seen significant growth with Cécred! I haven’t used it in a few weeks bc I’ve been trying so many things, but I kind of want to try it exclusively for a month just to see how my hair responds to it over an extended period. Good luck with your hair journey and whatever you decide! Having an active lifestyle definitely affects how you maintain your hair. And thank you again for tuning in 💖

@@leefortunate5764 thank you! I started transitioning from relaxer in 2009 and I big chopped the rest in 2010. Then in about 2012 I big chopped again because I’d never had a super short cut and wanted to try it out. That was my last major cut so I guess you can say I’ve been growing it since 2012 (I’ve had some cuts since but nothing to the scalp like then), and I’ve been 100% natural since 2010!

@EssenceGantАй бұрын
I separated the bottom and top half and put the bottom half in a hair tie to keep it out of the way. Then I pulled out the two front pieces and put the top half in a ponytail with a hair tie, and wrapped a piece of hair around the hair tie. And then I just took the bottom half out and fluffed it. I def had to do it more slow and gentle than I would if my hair were straight though. I'll do a video on it too!
