I grew up washing my combs and brushes in hot sudsy water every time I get my hair washed.

[@Tyland2020]

I would also like to add this to your list: stop being afraid to cut your ends. My hair started growing rapidly and looks healthier because I trim it every 8 weeks

[@24ryder4]

Speaking of the scalp…STOP suffocating it with holding gels and edge controls…your scalp health is more important than trying to achieve straighter “part lines”, “slick edges”, etc.

[@tla091]

The last habit of not comparing my hair is something I’m still working on.

[@rkelley582]

Hey precious!!! You’re not alone…and thanks for your transparency❤

[@zaneleshikwambana8734]

I understand what you are going through. I somehow managed to compare my hair with others the moment I gravitated towards content of creators with the same texture as mine. This has helped tremendously. Instead of comparing I get motivated and somehow assured that even my own hair can reach that level of health and growth. I hope this helps🙏❤

[@tla091]

@@rkelley582 You’re welcome.

[@tla091]

@@zaneleshikwambana8734 Yes, I do love my hair and I want most of all to be healthy and thrive so I have to do my part for that to happen. Thank you!

[@kimberlyrussell3111]

I don't compare my hair anyone's hair because I now know I have 4c high porosity hair. I'm learning that my type of hair is difficult to maintain, breaks easily, falls out, and doesn't grow much, if at all. Knowing that, I have a routine to deal with my hair.

[@angelabell2037]

That last one right there. This is major for me. I look at hair styles and wonder why I can't get my hair like this

[@lnyawilliamsmoore]

Gal 6:4(Not comparing yourself with others a Bible teaching) Ingredient: Vegetable glycerin.

[@lesliewit]

This is why I like the Felicia Leatherwood style brushes. After I finish styling my hair it immediately goes in the sink with hot water and a little bit add liquid hand soap. They're super easy to keep clean if you watch them right after you finish using them. I don't even use this paddle style brushes anymore because I don't want to deal with the gunk. Edit: I started incorporating the acid wash in my shampoo routine and my hair has literally never been softer or more manageable. This week I'm going to start doing an oil rinse also!

[@theawesomepersonchuney9742]

My favorite ingredient is aqua, I’ve learned that I need water to keep my hair hydrated & moisturized

[@florizellathompson1562]

Water for me too, can never go wrong with h2o

Marshmallow root and slippery elm 🤤 😂😂😂

[@misstinab8175]

My favorite ingredients in a styler are: marshmallow root extract, flaxseed extract, and beet sugar extract.

[@greene_te]

I love a good aloe vera juice, castor oil, and shea butter combo for my hair! Doesn’t weigh my hair down, cause I don’t use a lot of the products at one time and it’s super moisturizing for me 😍

[@heathereads]

Hi Tonya you helped me find my go to ingredients bisaminopropyl dimethicone and behentrimonium chloride and steryl alcohol -- thank you very much for the work you do!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yess! Great choices!

[@limuru0001]

[@jennielgreene3870]

[@coriebarnes8680]

Aloe Vera Gel is my hair's favorite! ❤ She loves it and always performs well when AVG comes on board at any stage of wash day, be it as a pre-poo or as a stand alone or mixed styling product.

[@simplyyyfab_u_lous_3266]

Not comparing my hair texture, my hair routine and your daily hair care vlog here and caring from my self inside & out has shockingly incredibly helped me reach a bra length. I was just looking to grow a healthy hair but it's exceeded my expectations & growing longer...and retaining hair length well...Thank you wonderful gorgeous lady🤗🥰❤️❤️

[@garciabreu]

I try washing my hair every two weeks and didn’t work, then try washing it three times in a week and it was too much. I realice that once a week is perfect.

[@deluludollbb]

I really hope you’re able to see this comment! I absolutely love your videos as I’ve never looked at science in a way to enjoy it, I’m currently using the product recommendations you have for low porosity and my hair has made a huge difference! I do have a video suggestion, over the years my hair has lost its curl pattern, it’s actually gotten looser, or it doesn’t curl at all. Could you recommend some tips and products to help with detox? My mom won’t let me big chop so I would like to give my hair another chance 😊

[@Abc17890]

Try Apple cider vinegar rinses once a month and check her videos on hydra fatigue or protein loss

[@denorene16]

Tea tree is my favorite ingredient.

[@thecollectivemicproduction6448]

I get excited when I see Aloe, water certain oils. Question? If a person works out at the gym at 6 days a week how often should they wash and condition? When I was working out like that I had to wash and condition at least 3 times a week bc of the sweat and salt build up on my scalp. It was irritating to my scalp.

[@ladyt3182]

Beautiful Flowers!! Thanks for the hair tips !!

[@am-js1ge]

I get excited over number 1. Silk or Biosilk in hair products and another number 1. Aqua. I used to buy products just for panethol in them these also had alcohol in some. I can't afford anything never could hence way I never took much time with it(my naps), I never have been able to style my hair.

[@ayee_ja2898]

Dimethicone. Gives awesome slip to my hair and my kid’s hair. Bad habit of chopping my hair when it gets to mid back. I’m scared it’s going to break off and chop off more than I should. I say I’m not going to do it and it happens everytime😂

[@sherlynbrown5270]

For me, it's anything Aloe Vera❤

Hey curly girl! I learn great things from your channel though my hair is dead straight white hair, with some "cow licks" thrown in. I have learnt the error of my ways in regard to conditioning as my hair is pretty fried. Thanks for your channel! :)

[@yolandam611]

I am not familiar with particular ingredients but I do look for products that say sulfate-free. I have very curly hair that gets Tangled easy and I try to find products that have a lot of slip otherwise I would never be able to get a comb through my hair.

After having two major setbacks (dépression, then anemia), it breaks my heart to look at other people's hair and imagine what mine could have been. Then I snap out of it, because there are bigger issues than my hair 😂... Other than that, I reconciled with silicones and grease. My hair thanks me.

Hi Tonya! Is it possible to make my hair less glycerin sensitive? There's sooo many products I can't try bc I'm high porosity and glycerin poofs up my hair like crazy 😭

Favorite ingredient: Braggs Organic Olive Oil

[@jayyy735]

What about the stylists out now that are telling us that protective styles damage our hair by having our strands rub against the hair we add in? They say this causes are strands to break and get holes all along the strand. Is this true or possible? Thanks so much for your channel too and for providing a scientific perspective and for having a nonjudgmental space.

[@CurlyChemistry]

You’re welcome! As far as what some stylist are saying, I would like to see the data, research, the microscopic visuals that backs that up.

[@personmcdudeguy]

I can't speak to any research done on the topic, but I never trusted that kanekalon with my hair. It's devoid of any natural oils and feels so hard! And it doesn't have the same elasticity and natural anti-static properties of real hair either... If I wanted to use fake hair in my braids I would use plenty of leave-in conditioner with lots of slip. After all, some people do grow their hair with fake hair so it's possible.

[@ladyt3182]

Probably Alovera!

[@iamkimmyc4436]

Do you consider co-washing “washing” your hair. I only do wash and gos so my hair is constantly out…and they only last 1 maybe 2 days 😩. So I have to wash my hair often (3, sometimes 4 days a week). I’ve tried quite a few gels but nothing will hold my curls; the definition is gone and my hair gets fro-ish. Any suggestions?

[@KC-YouTubeName]

Hi, I’ve got a short hair cut and I’ve only done wash and gos for the past 4 years and they now last for 4-5 days. The game changer for me was The Doux’s Mousse Def but I also like Camille Rose Naturals Coconut style setter followed by their Curl Maker gel. I hope this helps!
