Great video! I see my issue is patience. I rush thru my dense hair way too fast and end up with frizzy and puffy roots. I like your technique of using clips as you go along. I may try again soon.
@shalahboballa2 жыл бұрын
Yes! If your hair is dense it’s definitely best to go through it in smaller sections. That way you can define each section properly to get the best results. It takes a little extra time at first, but once you get used to it you’ll be able to fly through. I can define my entire head within 15 minutes or less because I know what sections take the longest and which ones I need to focus more and or less on 🙂

This was very detailed and enjoyable to watch. I need to incorporate clipping away the parts I have done. I tend to struggle in the back with hair getting in the way when smoothing and raking the next section.

If your hair is extremely saturated you will be absolutely fine! But if you try it out and you don’t like it you can always stop and try something else. That’s the beauty of the process!

I struggle with detangling my hair like this because my hair dries so fast. It holds water a bit more now than it did at the beginning of the year (before I completely cut out oils and butters), but it dries so fast that I feel like I'm racing against the clock when styling with gel.

It’s definitely a process of patience! Allowing our hair to revert back to what it needs. Similar to when we lose weight. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen right away. You will get there though!

I loveee this tutorial! Your hair looks great😍😍 Do you have any other product recommendations to replace the two gels that you used here? I'm not able to get those where I live
@shalahboballa2 жыл бұрын
More importantly than the company, is the purpose of the gels. The first gel is a gel that is a humectant that will attract water into the hair. The second gel will keep the water there by creating a hard cast. So if you can find gels that are botanical with those particular purposes in mind, that will help you.

Great tutorial! I followed everything that you did step by step and my curls were popping!! I wasn’t detangling my enough back then or adding enough water even tho I felt like I was. Also great tip about using warm water for UFD, my only problem is how do you refresh it when you wake up? Also how do you sleep with it I just slapped a tube sock on but by the next day it’s smooshed 🙄🥺

When you shower, without wetting your hair, the humidity in the shower will naturally refresh your hair because of the humectant gels. They draw moisture from the environment

However I don’t think it is as good at giving me MY desired results as a hooded dryer is. If I was spending money I would rather get a nice hooded dryer.

Oh my goodness! I remember six years ago I went to a natural hair show in Atlanta and Tre Lux at the time was such a tiny little company and not really heard of. At the time I was using Camille rose naturals and even a little bit of Shea moisture and homemade products but I saw their booth at the show and mainly what drew me to them was the amazing smell of the products. Let me tell you that after using their products for the first time I was absolutely blown away! That’s the first time my curls ever clumped and actually STAYED clumped and didn’t swell even though I was living in the Florida humidity! Their products are amazing. A little goes a long way so make sure you use a small amount of product and a lot of water to avoid flaking after it dries. I highly recommend them and I think I’m gonna try them out again soon 😍
