I don't know what it is but every time I get a silk press (once a year) the next day I go outside humid or cold and windy it Puff right up 😔 I have low porosity hair

[@mimivee5494]

Please tell me how you made those curls 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ArtzF1rstLady]

My favorite wash day tip would be to wear a plastic cap and deep conditioning cap when conditioning your hair. It helps the conditioner penetrate into the hair more effectively. I like to do this with my leave-in conditioners as well.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Love that idea!!

[@iamdionnesmith]

Thank you once again Ms Tanya. Always great. My one tip: detangle only with my fingers. I don't use and haven't used a brush or comb on my hair for two years. I take time to use my fingers like a comb. I make my own Henna, fenugreek, Kalonji deep treatment, stream every week when i wash and wash on the same day every week without fail. My hair has grown longer than my friends who started their natural journey before me. No comb, two strand twist. Game changer.

[@KinkyChickNoLye]

Mine too

[@Kmama801]

For me, sealing in moisture with hair grease has made a BIG difference! Thanks to your channel :) can you inform us on how much shedding is TOO much when washing our hair?

[@Tabetha.]

👍

[@DH-dt2hk]

Steaming during conditioning/detangling and you’re right I don’t say wash day anymore it’s my hair spa day 🥰

[@shakeemfuller5839]

My favorite wash day tip is FINGER DETANGLING

[@Tina-gt6tz]

My favorite wash day tip is to wash in sections if you have long and/or dense hair. I get a better wash using less product. I also have less tangles and shedding.

[@jackywairegi2316]

My favourite washday tip is oil rinsing. However, I apply my oil on top of my deep conditioner then let it sit together for 20-45mins......my hair is moisture loaded for days.

[@alisameireis3628]

I pre-poo (with coconut oil) overnight wearing a plastic cap and deep condition every wash day. My hair is hydrated, moisturized and soft. My natural curl pattern has emerged as a result. Love your channel!!

[@JjSylvC]

Pre-pooing and deep conditioning with a heat cap has made a big difference ☺️☺️

[@adriennen6433]

What's helped me so far is two things: ACV rinse and pre-poo!

[@Tabetha.]

Yes. Those are great.

[@leatricewearing2922]

My favorite wash tip is to be Gentle with your hair❤️ I’ve been able to retain major length by doing so. Thank you for sharing you are amazing ❤️

[@danie2084]

My favorite tip is oil. Growing up oil was used after your hair was washed and dry; but now I know it can be whenever. Rushing is a big deal because I don't want to spend an entire day just doing hair stuff

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

My fave hack is combing ur wet hair with a wide tooth comb just before washing away your conditioned strains! After doing this is never had to yank off a hair knot again!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Good advice!

[@no1jamjar]

I use a heat cap for 20mins when I deep condition my hair EVERY TIME ..btw your hair looks AMAZING 😻

[@thobekafailane5478]

Making it a fun day because my feelings show in the end result

[@kristallindsey4195]

I had not been doing the pre poo step. This has helped a lot. I also wasn’t deep conditioning regularly. I have noticed a huge difference in my hair along with hair growth. Thanks for sharing!

[@CurlyChemistry]

You're welcome! :-)

[@cutenobi]

Please do a video on this hairstyle. I love the way your hair moves.

[@MissBrendaLeeGertman]

The one tip that has helped me is detangling, before I wash my hair.

[@Madiprsc]

I used to pre poo before every wash day and one day I stopped. Your video is a sign to go back to my previous routine. My hair was better

[@ladygodiva32man]

Hey Hey fam. The best thing I started to do is wash my hair in twist and only free my section of hair when I'm applying deep conditioner. I'm doing the cabbage patch dance at this point. I didn't trust this method until I found the best shampoos and deep conditioners and leave-ins for my hair and my diy. Some shampoos seem to tangle my roots, even when it's detangled in twists. Thank you for the video.

[@brendageater3928]

I'm learning a lot & my hair is growing thick & Healthy 💝

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yayy!! So happy to hear that Brenda! Keep up the good work. 🙂

[@calientebabe2042]

Sunday is my "wash day spa day," so don't call me before noon. Pre-pooing overnight shortens my wash day.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Love it!!! 🥰

[@goldenangel6015]

😄 same here

[@cheryls.booker3336]

Clay washing really defines my curls and makes my hair soft.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Ooo! I haven’t done that in a while, thank you for the reminder. ☺️

[@michellepittman7886]

Washing type 4hair in twists is very helpful to reduce shedding and breakage

[@BeingCBrown]

Is oil rinsing beneficial for low porosity hair?

[@ladystormhealing]

Wow the oil rinsing! my style was so moisturized and had body I believe it was because of the oil and I did not rinse it out. thank you so much for the tips!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yes, you’re welcome! 💜

[@arielrose6361]

Detangling with a cheap, slippery conditioner before i shampoo makes a huge difference. My fine strands become a bird nest if i don't take out all my shed hair first

[@kinghill500]

Happy Friday 💕💕💕💕💕

Pre Poo and Deep conditioning

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yess!

[@YellowRoses10]

Same for me😊

[@trueblackbeauty6821]

I put water in a pot allow it to get hot, but not boiling point. Pour into a bowl, then in a second container remove a moderate amount of deep conditioner into the bowl. Put the the conditioner bowl into the hot water. Wait a couple of minutes, then begin to apply the conditioner.

[@gatesfamily3470]

Interesting. ... a double boiler method. Thanks. I'll give this a try.

[@cynthiacarter770]

The green tea rinse for hair shedding I've seen such an improvement thank you

[@lareshondatreadway3999]

As a licensed hairstylist I just Looovvee your channel so so much. I love that since you're actually qualified to advise people on how products will work with their hair you're not misleading them because like you said, not everything applies to everyone. There's been too many occasions where I'll have a client who "learned" something about hair or followed a hair trend on YT without understanding why it may or may not work with their hair, it may be misleading, and sometimes completely inaccurate. Even though I know and understand the science of hair your videos have even help me. There's been things that I never new before, thanks to you. I appreciate all of the info you share.

[@ashkeniasims1840]

I love prepooing! It really sets my wash day to success! I love your videos thank you so much for sharing!

[@michellegiles3637]

Can you please explain to me what you mean by per poo? I'm in desperate need of any advice you can give me for my fine thin hair.

[@ashkeniasims1840]

@@michellegiles3637 Prepoo is something you do before you wash your hair. For example one of the things I do is a hot oil treatment or I take an aloe Vera leaf (half) & smear that on my hair & cover for apprx 30 mins & wash my hair. Hope this helps 🙂

[@avabishop753]

I have relaxed hair but I always learn so much whenever I watch your videos. You are a gem young lady. God Bless you to be such a wonderful Blessing to All! ❤️🙏

[@classiseverything2me]

To prevent friction..After completing my hair wash I then wrapped my hair using a very long silk scarf that I made from a twin silk sheet and that I cut in half twice keeping it on for about an 1/2 hour or a little more. I absolutely refuse to dry my hair with a harsh towel or even a microfiber type towel‼️

[@Tabetha.]

That's neat.

[@michellejones3230]

Happy Friday Tonya. I love prepooing it has helped my hair tremendously. Nice weekend and Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@zoe-annlynch421]

I absolutely love applying my leave in conditioner ( I mix 2 different leave in) to soaking wet hair.

[@lisabarclay9374]

The one thing I do right before wash day is detangle my hair and section it in four game changer

[@Tinablackberryrose]

Great video. My wash day tip is pre shampoo treatments I use African Pride Moisture Miracle Aloe & Coconut Water Detangling & Condition Pre-Shampoo and I ♥️♥️♥️ this product so much it has so much slip it is the 💣.

[@mssunshine3450]

I love this product too❤️

[@Tina-gt6tz]

I am glad you explained the oil rinsing. That was helpful info. Will you explain the benefits of hot oil treatments; is it the same difference as the oil rinse? Thanks!

[@CREOLE_]

I must say listening to your videos and taking your advice has really helped my hair thrive. I love that for me. Keep it up. 💯😀

[@CurlyChemistry]

So glad to hear that!! ☺️

[@minnahhassan2229]

Thanks because i put condition on my scalp

[@cydy121]

Using a hair mask every wash day & ACV rinses. A steamer can reactivate products & remoisturize hair.

[@thecollectivemicproduction6448]

Pre pooing has helped tremendously

[@leaveit219]

Oil rinse and detangle. I am probably one of the few who wash daily. I finger detangle during shampoo wide tooth comb with conditioner oil rinse once a week and finger detangle again. My hair feels healthy hydrated. Barely use product and curls appear.

[@kimberlyviolaraysor1008]

Hey my beautiful sister, what would be a good oil for my low porosity hair to oil rinse? You and your family stay bless and healthy ✝️🙏🛐

[@freda4882]

I love these recommendations. I invested into a scalp brush/shampoo brush almost 4 years ago. Think this was one of the best investments for myself care. Love ur flash cards by the way

Hey Beautiful's! My past few wash days having been a nightmare because I had the nerve to dye my hair and then refused to trim my ends... lol. Do not do that... lol! But the one thing that made all the difference for me was getting a Juice Box... and streaming her in! Love it!! Love it!! Love it!! Thank you juices and botanics!

[@TaraJonesWilliamson]

Favorite wash day tip: detangle with oil and not conditioner or water!

[@latanyachinarhodes9399]

applying deep conditioner in the shower & applying heat for 30 mins

[@amina3898]

Thanks for these great suggestions once again. I think ACV is once of my tips but can you do an oil rinse after an ACV rinse? ACV closes the cuticles, so, does the oil and/or leave-in still benefit after ACV rinse? Thanks!

[@Yahuahisking]

Thank you ☺️ a wash day routine would be nice

[@YummyCandiCollection]

You mentioned my 1 tip and that's pre-poo...GAME CHANGER!

[@ladytell1111]

Rice water n HEAT are my game changers. I have very fine soft hair that is low porosity.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing!

[@pamelajackson8648]

What does pre-pulling means?

[@normawilson7917]

Hi Tonya! What do you think about using aloe Vera to pre-poo fine, high porosity hair? Also, can you pre-poo w/aloe Vera AND do a protein treatment during the same wash session? Please advise.

[@flafalaise]

I'd like to know about this too because I have high-porosity hair as well and I have been using coconut oil and would like to switch it up if I can. Thank you.

[@jessiele22]

Hi I was watching one of her live one day and she mentioned that aloe Vera doesn’t consist of protein so yes you can hope that answered your ques.!

[@Shallewa]

ACV rinse

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yes!

[@weirdmyst7963]

Accidentally so oil rinses because I slap oil and grease on it to lock in the water and it actually helps.

Do you still use a leave in conditioner if you do the oil rinse?

[@chelseashamim9148]

Perpoo detangling

[@arili7126]

Hi! 👋🏽 I always use the LOC method after conditioning. If I wanted to do an oil rinse, would I do that then proceed with the LOC method? Or would I be switching it around to OLC? Thank you! ETA: I meant to say I love your hair! 😍

[@Teeconsultingg]

I think it’s best to try both methods and see which one seems more fitting

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey Ari! I agree with Tee! Also try a combination of the oil rinsing and the LOC together and see if you notice a difference in your hair.

[@LRH1]

@Ari Li - when doing an oil rinse , do so after your hair final rinse. Next, gradually massage your scalp, aim to air dry hair for about 15 minutes then proceed to L(light spritz)O(do not add more oilC(seal strands with your chosen product like leave in cream or a bit of shea). If you need to dry your strands do so on low settings or if twisting do so. Happy hair journey

[@darlenepowell979]

My favorite thing to do is deep condition with heat.

[@tamarapace3036]

Thanks to you I never go through a wash day without pre pooing the night before. My refresh days are so much easier because my hair stays smoother, and more hydrated. My hair was below the shoulder and now just below my ears, because of telegen effluvium. It's too short to do praying hands, any other suggestions? Figuring out how to style and/or sleep with my new texture has been difficult. Most bonnets too big now and it is much to short to put on top of my head. My wavy curly hair is now much curlier and starts directly at the roots. Most of my curls grow towards my face now! Very strange and quite an adjustment, to say the least. Have you heard of this before, if so, any help? Thank you for your videos and easy to understand tips.

[@Tjeane18]

Wouldn't oil rinsing after shampooing keep my leave in conditioner from penentrating? I always apply my leave in in the shower
