Young man, I think you've done an acceptional job on hair care. Being a seasonal stylist for 29 year's myself, I don't see too many people on here caring, or sharing the correct way on how to care for their hair or other's. So God bless your gift. I pray many blessings upon you. stay humble. Keep doing what your doing. God bless son.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you so much.

[@6Morningdove6]

Hey cousin! it makes me happy that you like his method because I am so taking notes.

[@6Morningdove6]

This is Toyia.

[@lisamarie4048]

Just leaving the water to sink in for a bit made all the difference, I'm surprised.. it such a simple thing. Thanks x

[@meekaaa4206]

yes but i think it has a lot to do with your hair's porosity if you have low porosity hair it will take longer to absorb water and products so letting the water take time to absorb might be a great option but high porosity hair will absorb the water very quickly so this step may be unnecessary

[@JohnBillow]

@@meekaaa4206 yeah but what if the water evaporates before it gets to absorb into your hair

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

I do the same with oils. I let the water kinda sink in, then slightly detangle, then a small amount of oil I'll smooth into the section and let it sink in until it's soft, and then I'll use a wooden brush to smooth everything in before twisting it up.

[@DivaSlimsDown]

wow this video was extremely helpful. especially about not using too much product.

[@marvinbosk5319]

[@nstruebluey39]

I called myself doing an oil rinse last week on my hair. After watching this video, I learned what the mistake was. I spritzed too much water on, making my hair soaking wet, and added on the oil. Now I will lightly mist with water, add leave in, then the oil :) Thanks friend for making this video!

[@arbitrarylib]

Thank you so much. My mom used to say ' just grease your hair' and I did and didn't understand why it was always dry. No one teaches how to take care of our hair.. it's so weird. But thank you for being a light.

[@samiranicole2025]

I thought i was low porosity hair until i watched this cause my hair was so dry. But now i know i just need to let the water sit in my hair for about 30 secs and then add my oil and cream. AFRICAN HAIR GOD FOR SURE!

[@JennJackson]

Your hair has grown so much and looks GREAT!

[@tiffanyn.3097]

Can I just say that I started to do this like 5 years ago when I was transitioning and my hair is now bra length! I was consistent and did this every week as well as getting my regular trims, and just like that my hair just kept growing and growing and is now so healthy! Thank you!

[@ClassyDdiamond]

I forgot how beautiful your natural hair was 🥰

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Oh thank you!

[@TCt83067695]

What happened? Why did he cut it? I almost didn't recognize him

[@spunkinsight6612]

I remember that a year ago I didn't even know how to detangle my hair. I didn't believe it can grow so much... Thanks to people like you I learned a lot and I see a huge difference. Keep doing it

[@ImJustJoJo]

Thanks for this video. I have a son who is just 4 months and I plan to NOT cut his hair until he gets older and decides for himself. I plan to let his hair grow out naturally.

[@littlebabybugjones2676]

same here! my son's 2 and a half, and he hasn't had a hair cut since last year, but we don't plan to ever cut his hair unless he asks for it. his hair is growing nicely and is long enough to plait now :D i wish more black women let their boys hair grow. i think it instills a healthy view of black hair in the boys for them to embrace it as much as the girls.

[@bellaladonna]

Thank you for doing a demo on moisturizing your hair - Every video I saw from other you tubers talked about moisturizing but no actual demonstration

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You are welcome thanks for watching!

[@christasoto08]

Thanks for pointing out that your hair is normal porosity and giving a source for low porosity hair naturals! Great video!

[@nmcelroy03]

I love that you actually explain your steps and give practical tips and tricks. You are easy to follow and the advise you have given has saved me from massive hair struggles and from wanting to go back to a relaxer. Thanks so much!

[@melanie_carmella]

Thanks for this series. I had to refer back to the basics. Tried this and my hair is shiny, moistured and defined. I'm shocked that a little oil can transform your hair. The oil somehow encouraged my curls to separate and I had day 3 volume on day 1 without any frizz. Thank you

[@declan-kayodekeegan1598]

I've got low porosity, naturally dry type 4 hair and I use exactly the method you just showed and it works for me. I wet my hair with water every even when I'm not washing it. I've a lot of improvement in growth and texture.

[@jobenjamin9978]

Thank you for your contribution to this post. Struggling with dryness. Will incorporate what Narada suggested. It reminds me that back in the day we did not have all these damn products, but hair was healthy and long.

[@Beyonslay4]

Going through all these videos and I’m so glad I stumbled on this playlist after you shared it with someone else. This is informative, straight to the point and clear. Thank you!!!

[@sputnixful]

I've been contemplating on going all natural for a little while now. Just checking out different sources to help in my decision. You have been more informative in this video than most of the 20 videos I've seen before. Thanks for your time in these videos. And your hair is amazing.

[@alyssat.258]

I learned more from your video than all the videos I have watched over the last 3 years. Thank you!

[@ladyewo6778]

Great tip on using minimal product to avoid excessive product build up in a short amount of time. I was guiltyyyyyy.

[@LifeWithQuilla]

My hair and your hair are very similar ......I'm gone try your method.....Your hair has grown so much!!!!! You are one of my favorite natural hair people on the tube.....

[@dionnefaulkes]

I love your tips, especially the advise to leave water in hair for better moister. I mostly avoid tutorials from men do to the fact that testosterone makes men hair grow differently and way faster than women.

[@HollijoyJohnson]

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I truly appreciate this video, it's one of my favorite. Thank you, thank you sweetheart. Here's a tip for those reading this post...spend that wait time meditating/praying/deep breathing/...or just smiling at yourself cause you are beautiful!

[@Prettiuneekdesigns]

I am just waiting on those clips to hit you. I like that tip about letting the water absorb first. I have noticed when I did this that the styler etc went on better and the white look was not white for long. You have lovely hair. Thanks for sharing.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

You know the clips NEVER actually hit me in the face. I'm usually waiting on it too cuz sometimes I forget I still have them on.

[@aliciamaynard2890]

Sooo... I just learned more in this one, shortish video than watching hundreds of natural hair videos from other vloggers!

[@MeAndMyNailz-ul6zh]

Glad to see this. Me being new to trying to go natural. My mistake so far is trying too many products. After washing and conditioning (with shea moisture) my hair dried in seconds when I took the towel off. This morning I clarified and went back to my old products. As soon as i towel dried i bust out the softee and went to work. First time doing this but my hair feels so much better.

[@nezzylearns]

Your advice about keeping your hair taut while untangling your hair helps so much. Thank you

[@808sandheartbreak2]

The stretching method here is genius too! Thank you for this.

[@tlhb234]

I have tried everything.. This is the BEST treatment EVER for my hair. It hasn't been dry yet!!!! Thanks 👏👏👏👏

[@lisamarie4048]

This is better than most womens hair videos. I'm gonna try this method tonight. thanks :)

[@TiMalice2009]

I agree.

[@ljljlj9263]

💯💯💯

[@basscamel9446]

+49jubilee you're obsessed 😆

[@corazoncubano5372]

49jubilee Plenty of guys here in NYC have back length hair. His hair length is a normal length. Hair length has nothing to do with masculinity.

[@basscamel9446]

He never said he was not gay. What are you getting at anyway?

[@annmariebusu9924]

I like your tip about letting the water absorb. I didn't do that once and ended up with beads of oil on my hair. Its nice to hear it confirmed before I think start thinking it was a fluke. great video and nice hair.

[@Kemi116]

It was such a pleasure watching you do your hair, it's so beautiful and healthy looking, you truly have good hair, love it!!

[@waltbaby08]

I have been doing that moisture absorption method for almost a year now and it has been the only thing to work on my hair, when fighting dryness. I swear by it.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

IT DOES!!!

[@loeyknox7158]

@3:47 is so important. Thank you this is the best yet demo that I have seen. You Are Awe-Inspiring!!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

+Loey Knox thank you so much for watching!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

^_^

[@IAmBrandi1525]

Alec Sad I went to the website and the products do look interesting. Thanks for sharing the info !

[@Zoeybamboey]

I really didn't know about the leaving your hair to absorb the water tip. Makes so much sense you are awesome! I need to get myself some oil! Thanks a lot I really appreciate this video

[@Toni8225]

I really learned how to care for my hair. Thanks for sharing.***** five star Great voice tone.

[@TirsaTalks]

Very helpful and useful! Thanks a bunch! I love how you shoutout other KZbinrs! It's true that we should all just use all of our resources, it's not a 'subscriber competition' but just people helping each other out. Keep up the good work! :)

[@Ms_Introvert_4_Life]

You are the first person I've seen put the oil before the leave in....cool....will have to try this once.

[@listeninward]

I've watched countless videos on how to keep my hair moisturized, and I have to say.. This one was the most informative~! Thanks so much!

[@yayababy81]

I love how you shout out other great youtubers!

[@egyptmaze]

Oh my lord your so right about combing a piece of hair then letting it go.It does cause more tangled,because it happened to me Thank-you for the hair tip

[@keyshamiller1352]

AfrikanHairGod I am soooooo glad I came across your channel...I will be looking for more tips... thanks

[@showmuchlove]

I am so in love with you! I am so happy you shared the other channels too. Thank you for the extra tip about the water. I really needed that info. This takes me back to the 70's when we were all Afro's & natural it was all I ever knew. Styles come and go and I wasn't waiting on bellbottoms but, sooooooooooo HAPPY for our Fros and natural hair.

[@chaosswa-ee-ty5911]

Your passion for hair is real. And you look the same.

[@TressesOfAlexis]

I'm quite heavy handed. I'm going to try this method and see how it works for me!!! Thanks

[@shamalielouis4609]

I've been doing wayyy too much with my hair n now I know. Thank u!

[@ThatLadyDray]

Great tip about letting it sit for a few seconds. Def will be trying that, thanks!

[@mFabulous14]

Aww i kinda wanted to see the finished results after you untwist it

[@Nickie07luv]

love how you direct us to other people who are knowledgeable about hair!!

[@MrSynhair]

Thank you for the tips!!!!!!! I will try this from now on except for overdoing the moisture

[@Luciousflavour1]

Will definitely try this on my daughter's hair. Great advice and you can't actually see the difference in your hair from start to finish with your moisturizing technique

[@Napalie]

Great tips! Looking at this thumbnail, thought you used elastic bands at the base... never thought to braid first then twist. Such a simple solution! Thank you!

[@itsmelody1284]

OMG! im like in love...you are filled with knowledge and im just sitting here like a sponge..Thank you!

[@nicklh186]

This is low-key satisfying

[@msteaguer1908]

I found you from the side bar. You stating to let the moisture in before oil & products is the 1st I've heard. I have got to see more of you & LHA. Thank you.

[@silk62004]

Thanks i enjoyed your instructions. Your voice was clear and your thoughts where together. You seem relaxed and comfortable, which made me believe you knew what you where talking about. I will be visiting you again, Again Thanks

[@MozeleyTribe]

[@winiver77]

Wow. . Let the water sink in? First time here ..what a great tip! Will look up this aron guy too - thanks

[@jrockdude18]

[@MSEDzirasa2015]

Come on lil bro you never look crazy in any video...You always look real...Thanks for sharing...great tips and the links were very helpful...:)

[@tharealmacoil69]

I'm so GLAD I came across this video! You make so much sense...and like you said these are small changes but I can really see the difference! I'm definitely going to start doing this!!! Thanks boo!

[@coilsoflove2012]

I was waiting for you to whip your hair around like that lol. I have low porosity hair and that is the exact same thing I do, I dampen my hair allow the water to soften my hair then add the next product. When you are truly observing your hair, you will be able to take tid bits here and there and figure what is for you and what's not. Your spirit through the camera touches my soul. Be blessed 😘

[@SanaaJadeCruz]

Clear concise and eloquent I'm subbed

[@NaturallyNerdeeNicol]

very informative! I definitely follow the "allowing the water to absorb" tip and found it effective

[@TRACY5910]

I will agree that water, oil & some type of leave in moisturizer will help keep your moisturize... but you should do water, leave in moisturizer then the oil... because the oil is like a sealant & will seal in the your moisturizer that you have applied helping it to stay moisture longer.

[@Kuwkay]

Not when you're using the LOC method

[@TRACY5910]

Im not speaking of locking, I'm speaking keeping natural hair healthy & moisturized on a daily basis... dry hair is unhealthy hair & will break off like tree branches... Moisturized soft hair is healthy growing hair... I moisturize daily & have soft & manageable hair with little shredding.

[@chantelle2095]

Tracy C "LOC is an abbreviation for leave in conditioner, oil and cream. The name itself signifies the products a curly should apply as well as the order in which to apply them, making it an easy-to-remember curly routine."

[@TRACY5910]

Oh ok... thought you meant LOC as in dreads kayla ayan

[@brionni7]

Tracy C You are correct, there are variations of the LOC method. LOC=Liquid + Oil+ Cream, but I've seen various people in the natural hair care community use a differing variation of the noted process.

[@TTR-qe6ww]

Why does this work so so incredibly well??! Game changer!

[@Nba123-d8e]

omg this my first time watching you!! I decided to go natural I haven't had a perm since October but your hair is beautiful!!! and im subscribing now!!! love when you said we think our hair is THIRSTY yeeass!!!

[@justinehorton2527]

So I just started doing this with just shampoo, a leave in conditioner, and and not oil, but I use Shea Moisture hold and shine mist. My hair stays soft for at least 3 days before I decide to moisturize again. I use a little bit of oil the day before washing it on damp hair as a treatment. I think my hair is normal to high porosity.

[@cenalover159]

omg i freakin love this.... all you see is a bunch of women doing natural hair videos and its awesome to see a guy doing it for a change =]]

[@DarcyEdwards]

I love your skin. You look very luminous!!

[@chrissyspencer4518]

I NEVER get bored watching U do ur hair! Luv ur vids.

[@RenaRoss76]

Your tutorials have been super successful to my hair. I appreciate you and a few others here on you tube. Love you guys! Stay Blessed!

[@roxie712]

Where have I been?? You're awesome! I'm newly natural. My hair is thicker and more coarse than yours, but I learned a lot. I appreciate your referrals to other KZbinrs as well. I look forward to watching your other videos. :)

[@AfroEssexGirl]

Wow, so informative! I have just slathered loads of water, oil and Cantu leave in BEFORE watching this. Oh well, I'll definitely try next time I twist my hair. Thank you!

[@colleentings3291]

The best Hair tip i have ever seen straight to the point Thank you so much Hun

[@schnauzermom6352]

You have such beautiful hair and a very soothing voice. Thank you for all the info! Be blessed!

[@jennmichelle70]

I wish I knew how to reply to other comments but I digress! Listen, your video made perfect sense...I just wish I could develop the discipline to do my own hair. Moisture is so important. Your tips were awesome, from letting the water sit for a few seconds to the type of spray bottle to tips for stretching the hair at the roots. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@islandn8tion]

Im doing a two year hair journey... only using vaseline and water... I think vaseline is the best moisturizer

[@Anni619]

hows it working out? Isn't petroleum based cream meant to be bad?

[@islandn8tion]

So far very good.

[@frankeylimon324]

You look tf goodt! Got me watching 6 yr old videos after recently subscribing 🧡

[@kelliew.4285]

Thanks Im going to try the keeping hair taught tip as well as working from front to back. The back of my hair is low porosity so may need more time.

[@Yellowblues3]

Man, that's some good hair. :) Very helpful. Thank you.

[@MarleneMotivates]

Question. What kind of oil do you recommend. My hair is fine. And they say all the oils are the best. Im thinking jojoboa. But would like to know what you think?

[@tnoah15]

Light oils are best for fine textures like jojoba, grapeseed, rice bran, avocado, carrot oil

[@Nikmac03]

OMG! you just blew my mind. I look at hair vids all the time and just ran across yours. Great info and very thorough. Thanks!!!!!!!

[@Dollsanity]

Your explanation is clear. Enjoyed the video, very informative.

[@sinnaone1]

Your videos are always on point and you are very informative, I've found ur videos not too long ago and I'm happy that I did keep up the good work!

[@AfrikanHairGod]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Njoofene]

The good old days.

[@themamabeeee]

This is great! I'm always searching for a way to moisturize as I am the hair person in our family and I enjoy it so much.

[@tillyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

I like how you utilize your clips and clamps. That's very innovative.

[@celloitsholly1]

You made some excellent points in this video that I'll be definitely be using in my hair regimen

[@cataleyadiazdelbosque3685]

Yes!!!! I still need to find a leave in that my hair likes. So far I use water. Shea butter then a jojoba/peppermint oil mixture. Every single day! This makes a huge difference for hair growth!

[@smileyla-bella7978]

You have some great tips and your hair looks great☺. I have to try letting the water sit for a bit before I apply the oil. Thanks.

[@joyciejenkins5483]

very,very informative. as i watched the video i was wondering why you had the clips hanging from your hair but that makes so much sense!! im taking in all of your tips!!

[@AfrikanHairGod]
