10 THINGS I AVOID IN ORDER TO HAVE LONG NATURAL HAIR

[@ashalinton-lee8225]

A great alternative for gel is flax seed gel. I take about a cup of the natural seed and put it in boiling water, let it boil for 10-15 minutes or to a consistency you like, then I use a straining bag and squeeze the gel once cooled. It’s nutrient dense, packed with proteins, can lay edges, help set styles, and my personal favorite, it’s an amazing pre poo. Hope that helps, God bless you all ❣️

[@beneziaharuna682]

Okro gel is great as well

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

Agreed. Botanical flaxseed gels are great alternative to plastic hard gels. Not castor oil

Hello ma'am. First timer on your channel here. I'm a lifelong naturalista like you too. I've never relaxed my hair but I started this journey of proper hair care in 2014. GOD has been faithful. You are beautiful. As for grey hair, I see it on the head of my Church's general superintendent virtually every week and it's gloriously beautiful. I personally have zero qualms about it. I too believe in keeping with my GOD-given natural hair colour, which is pitch black . I don't mean to pry, but are you Nigerian? Your last name got me curious. Love from Nigeria.

I agree with all your recommendations but I do dye my gray hair only because I only get gray around my edges and I do not like that, once it starts to cover my entire head, I will not dye it anymore. Now, I do leave my hair in a protective style for about a month but I shampoo it every two weeks while in the protective style and add a leave-in condition, and seal either with Almond oil or hair grease after each shampoo, to keep my hair moisturized. I mist my hair daily with Aleo Vera juice mixed with Almond oil and a few drops of rosemary oil, also, I grease my scalp with grease, why, my scalp is very DRY and loves the grease since I have been doing this my hair has flourished, passed bra length and growing, and one last thing, I drink a lot of water!!!

I find that I lose my Hair when I’m wet detangling/combing since I have fine natural hair. I’d much rather comb while it’s dry.

[@PixelPaperDesigns]

Some ppl can actually comb their hair while dry or wet. Since each individual is different with different texture, it may be easier for some to comb while dry without any breakage and vice versa. To each is own. You have to do what's best for you regardless what anyone prefer, recommend, or demand you to do. I have very thick, coarse and wooly hair and I can comb my hair dry if it's already moisturized. If it's extremely dry I will moisturize and then comb. Even with all the great tips my sis is giving, It is very helpful to some while it's not very helpful to others because we're all different and not all things work for every one. I luv wearing braids. I do my own hair. I just keep my scalp and hair clean, moisturize with the right products ,and leave my hair alone until it's time to rewash.

Sister God bless you for your natural tips. By the way, can you list all the oils for hair growth routines for me? Especially how to grow back alopecia and get long hair. Can an adult still grow long hair? Thanks God bless. I love you

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

Caster oil does not grow hair. It doesn't penetrate the hair strand/cuticle nor does it mimic natural sebrum. It does however seal the cuticle layer preventing moisture from entering the strand. It has its purpose but sadly, hair growth isn't one of them. Hair grows from the scalp, not topic. The other tips are very very beneficial and aids in hair retention.

[@traceydumase]

Granted, it is good for trapping moisture and also leaves the hair feeling quite soft. It doesn't grow hair as far as penetration but it does help in the overall moisture retention which will essentially reap benefits of growth coupled with other hair maintenance habits i.e. length retention

[@MrsCharityUmar]

“…castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid-a type of fatty acid found to fight inflammation. When applied to the scalp, it's purported to enhance the health of the hair follicles and, in turn, promote hair growth (as well as protect against hair loss).” I personally have experience hair growth in areas where castor oil was applied to my scalp. Thanks for the added information🙏🏽.

I think it's more about how careful you are when installing twist, braids or any other style, making sure it's moisturised and not too tight. Those hairstyles are great to protect and grow natural hair and have been used since 100s of years ago by our ancestors. There are many natural 4c KZbinrs who grew their hair to waist length or more with them like Green Beauty, Naturally High, Obaa Yaa Jones, etc. MAYBE in looser curl patterns those styles don't work as well, but for most type 4s they're wonderful.

Sounds like you need protein (for strength). My hair cannot survive without regular [real] protein treatments. GreenBeauty on KZbin has a great natural version.

[@MrsCharityUmar]

In addition to satin hair tools, I would recommend deep conditioning regularly to help strengthen the hair and invest in protective styling (hiding the ends of your hair in styles ie: buns, pinned twists etc). Over exposure of the ends of the hair leads to dryness and will hinder length retention. Also moisturize between styles at least every 3 days. Hope these help!

Hi, first time to your channel. Thank you for your time sharing all about how to take care of natural hair. It is great you coconut oil the fractionize type, shea butter, sweet almond oil and olive oil for your hair. You do have a lot of and volumes of beautiful hair! That is a lot of love and dedication we all should and embrace it. I have 4c hair that is coarse and it is always dry at the ends at least 2inches of the ends are dry. I cannot use coconut oil of solid in a jar or fractionized oil makes my hair feel hard. I cannot use for moisturizing. I tried shea butter on the hair and it makes limp and stiff and will not have any curl pattern. I wash my hair with a shampoo and conditioners without sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate (SLS) is a (foaming agent) That why there is lather. It isn't good because it is a chemical that cause scalp irritation and skin and dries the hair. Reading about SLS in 4c hair is claim to do well for the4c type of hair in which I cannot agree. On the market most hair products contain so much chemicals and has been that way for years especially in perms. As if this is the only way to wash the hair and conditioners, perms, gels leave in conditioners curl creams, etc. I have been trying to be organic as much as possible using products that do not have the harsh chemicals. I have been trying Avocado butter, Avocado oil, Mango butter on my hair by melting a teaspoon of each and 1/2 teaspoon of the avocado oil in a double boiler method or in a sauce pan. apply to my hair while it is wet and then twist the hair in sections and let it air dry. At night I cover my hair with a silk scarf. I cannot leave it twisted up since I work in the office so I have to untwist my wear and wear my hair out for a week. If it is humid I have to put in a bun in the back not on top like the (pineapple) style.

[@MrsCharityUmar]

@Charmaine if coconut oil doesn’t work you may have to experiment with other oils. Shea butter is more ‘friendly’ to the hair when it is mixed with other oils in a whipped form, you may have to give that a try for best results. As far as the dry ends, you may deep condition your hair often to infuse moisture and strength your hair. Also invest in protective styling where the ends of your hair is hidden in the style ie: a bun to preserve your ends and protect it from drying out so much which could lead to breakage. As far as shampoo, sure please use whatever works best for your hair.

Where do you buy these hair products?

[@belindandanshau9496]

Hey. im so glad i stumbled upon your video. Love to see different hair colors but not on my natural hair, i have been using gel and i have noticed my hair is thinning didn't know what was the cause. I have fine hair and i wish to grow longer and thicker hair. Do believe in hot oil treatment?

[@MrsCharityUmar]

Hello there, Hot oil treatments have benefits for scalp and hair. I am not against it.
