[@SaraFetene]

Finally someone with some damn sense when it comes to shampoo🙌🏾. How can people expect products to properly absorb into the hair cuticle with layers of product buildup coating the hair?! I don't understand why a lot of these natural hair gurus are setting people up for failure?! Shampooing is absolutely necessary for a healthy scalp & healthier hair. Yeah I can admit I don't like the temporary feeling that shampoo leaves behind but I always condition or deep condition afterwards. I'm natural & have been natural my whole life. My hair is currently tailbone length when stretched & I believe that to be because I consistently cleanse & deep condition my hair every week. Thank you for your honesty & for informing people out there because shampoos do serve a purpose & people shouldn't be afraid of them. Oh & by the way I love you & your videos ♥️

[@laurie-felishalazarre2916]

What shampoo do you guys use?

[@brandiemckenzie8029]

@@laurie-felishalazarre2916 that's what I'm trying to figure out. Exactly which Shampoo is being used. Because ifk what's the difference between regular and clarifying in the stores.

[@personmcdudeguy]

​@@brandiemckenzie8029IMHO a good clarifying shampoo will have few to no conditioning ingredients. These include things like >Silicones >Oils >Polyquaterniums >Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine >Hydroxyethyl Methylcellylose >Starches > PPG-9 or other PPGs Having a couple is fine, but more than 4 and I would not consider it clarifying, just cleansing. Sulfate vs. Sulfate Free also doesn't really matter, because Sulfate Free products are almost always made with Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, which is just as good at degreasing as the most commonly used Sulfates. I actually recommend avoiding both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate and looking for ones that just have Sodium Laureth Sulfate because it is milder than those other two surfactants without needing a conditioning agent to offset its harshness, which would defeat the purpose. As for recommendations, Suave Daily Clarifying gets thrown around a lot and it's alright. Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two also seems good, but it has too many conditioning ingredients for me to try it. I liked IC Fantasia Tea Tree Naturals Shampoo in the green bottle. My all-time favorite was Neutrogena Anti-Residue, which was discontinued last year. If you live near an Albertsons, you can try Signature Care Clarifying Shampoo, which is a direct ripoff of Neutrogena's and all I have left 😢

[@dianncotterell5531]

"that's not how it works people" lol good analogy wash top part of body and let the run off clean lower half. I have to let the shampoo get in contact with my hair if not my hair won't get moisturized after I wash it because there's still product on it. I miss the water jug.

[@afrakoma_a]

Thank you for dispelling the co-washing myths. It's soooo tired🙄 This is such an important video.

[@ZalinaW]

You make a good point. Shampoo is intended to CLEAN your hair and scalp and who doesn't want a clean scalp and hair? Thank you for this video. That's funny what you said about the "run-off". Another good point.

[@braelynnblue]

That shampoo running down the strands was started by some of these blogs. It's not the soap or surfactant that cleanses, it's the friction that removes the dirt. I love your videos, I'm going to have to drive across town to Decatur to get my hair done one of these days! I'm in Douglas ville so it's literally across town 😂😂.

[@doThatGWalk]

Braelynn Blue Yeah I never understood that logic either; it's just like saying to wash your face & let the soap go down to wash the rest of the body, NOPE. I have not followed that rule since learning about all of this stuff.

[@randolphobrien1493]

Yes, it is friction that removes dirt. Truth! By that logic you can have clean hair by using more natural stuff and avoiding toxic shampoo. Moreoever, using synthetic chemical cosmetics can and does result in those substances ending up in the blood stream over time. The risk of using these chemicals is simply to great for me personally so I restrict use of these products to a minimum. Just my view on the matter....

[@braelynnblue]

You are correct. There are definitely natural surfactants that cleanse the hair as well without harsh chemicals. You can also clarify with clay, not a surfactant but definitely a clarifier and all natural!

[@michael50694]

[@WellBeing999]

Mars 888 I do the same every time I shampoo. I always shampoo three times: twice with the clarifying shampoo and once with a moisturizing shampoo. Every time. And I pull the shampoo all the way through my hair. I never detangle in the shower anymore either. Only afterwards with a leave in conditioner and serum.

[@blackbutterfly233ify]

@@WellBeing999 wow. Why shampoo so much?

[@AK01318]

I think what a lot of naturals don't understand is that there is a science to hair. And alternative cleansing methods (imo) aren't meant to completely replace the standard shampoo. Recently, I've learned that you really have to take whatever advice from natural gurus with a grain of salt bc as most of them state in their videos, they are not professionals. I think we need to start being more appreciative of educated hair stylists bc the bad ones seem to get the most attention. I shampoo my hair every week and since I've stopped using heavy products that leave too much build up, my hair has been a lot healthier.

If only I had seen something like this 5 years ago. I was afraid of shampoo for so long smh. And thank you for addressing the "shampoo is only for your scalp" thing. With my hair getting longer, I was debating on washing my hair in twists and only focusing on my scalp like everybody on youtube is doing but now I won't try it. Thanks for another informative video! You have one of the best natural hair channels on youtube, hands down.

[@1GoldenBreeze]

It's still possible to wash in twisted sections to avoid some tangling with long hair. When I wash, I wash with my hair in 4 to 5 twists but I wash each section separately.

[@justinehorton2527]

gigglyfitzgirl I shampoo all of my hair and noticed less breakage. I'm not sure if that goes hand in hand, but that's what I noticed. My hair also grew quite quickly because I keeps it clean in here.

[@naturallymenow]

Justine Horton same here and less shedding

[@annanexton4682]

I was constantly cowashing my hair every week making my hair build up with silicones on top of silicones. My hair doesn’t accept leave in conditioners, moisturizers, or even hair gel. I have been so frustrated and started thinking about big chopping my hair especially because I JUST overcame most of my heat damage. Now I’m starting to think I should try a clarifying shampoo instead of chopping it all off.

[@annanexton4682]

@@cfoster6804 I decided not to big chop it. I’ve just been a lot better about washing it. Not as often, and I don’t cowash anymore. I can’t afford to get the healthiest products that don’t have silicones. I have invested in SOME better ones that don’t, but I still use some products that have silicones to stretch it and my products can last. Because of this, I am sure to do a vinegar rinse before washing my hair each time. It’s definitely grown since two years ago, but it’s not where I want it yet. Stretched, it’s to the middle of my back, and I’m pretty sure I haven’t straightened it since this comment either. I used to do a lot of protective styling, crocheted box braids for school bc of the fact that my hair would hardly respond to gel, but it’s been over a year now since I’ve been I school, and I haven’t gotten my hair done since. I just put it in twists and put on my wig when I go out. At one point I was doing protein treatments, bc I thought I was experiencing hygral fatigue or moisture overload for cowashing it so much. Now, I think I’ve done it too much and I’m trying to put moisture back in it now, doing deep conditionings every once in a while and trying to put more product in. I’d say it responds to product a lot better than it had 2 years ago, but still having some issues with that. It’s like some of the hair will, but there are pieces that don’t, and it’s really annoying lol.

[@Kiyonce.Kartier]

Even when I was on the curly girl method for 2.5 years, I still used a sulfate free shampoo every single week. I never understood the fear of shampoo. A clean, squeaky scalp is so important. Yes, shampoo can dry your hair out. That's the point of conditioner. The goal is to find a moisturizing or least stripping shampoo. I also introduced sulfates back into my hair routine about 7-8 months ago and I love it. My hair takes products MUCH better now. I also used a clarifying shampoo for the first time ever 3 weeks ago and it was a MAJOR reset on my hair. My hair is so much more shinny and bouncy. Thank you for educating us Afrikan HG!

[@Kiyonce.Kartier]

And a plus to my hair accepting products much better is that I don't have to use nearly as much!

I use three different types shampoos and I will continue to. Don't judge me. I just make sure I deep condition every wash day! Thanks for the upload 💞!

Great video! I do both - shampoo and co-wash. When I do shampoo, I use a moisturizing shampoo to avoid that stripped feeling. Easy fix - when I clarify, I am sure to use a deep conditioner as well as a leave-in afterwards. But yeah you're right, if you have a lot of product in your hair, you gotta wash that out. Good, solid info!

[@jackiejackson2012]

Excellent video. Every time one uses a clarifying shampoo one must follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioner to restore moisture. Sometimes we make things more difficult for ourselves. We all should just follow what works for us.

[@fefemyluv]

I especially love the last little point. I've never understood the whole application of shampoo only to your scalp. I've been in the hospital for weeks and I could literally see the dirt on my strands before I had the energy to give my hair a good washing. I would never rely on some drippings cleaning that buildup.

Thank goodness for this video. When I started my natural hair journey I bought into all that anti shampoo rhetoric but have since reintroduced it back into my regimen. My hair has been thanking me ever since. It does truly help conditioners & moisturizers to do their jobs better. Not sure if you take video requests but...could you do a video on clay washes/masks. I've seen some people use it as a shampoo replacement, others as the "second" shampoo, also as a hair treatment post shampoo with & without a follow up deep conditioner. What do you think?

[@destinystarr3837]

[@Shea354]

I find that clarifying once every 7 to 10 days is the best for me. Idk if it's excessive, but my scalp starts to itch after a week, and if I wait any longer than that I'm reaching up to scratch every few moments. Co-washing is only good for re-moisturizing my hair during the week now that I've been natural for a few years. It's not cleansing enough, otherwise.

[@mi3helle707]

Hey AfricanHairGod, loved the video. I personally am a little baffled at the anti-shampoo movement because shampooing my hair leaves it clean and my hair boinchy.

[@AfrikanHairGod]

stbell1978 that clingy feeling is a sign that there is literally nothing on your hair (squeaky clean, where you can hear your hair Squeak if you run your fingers down the length of it). Most moisture shampoos are made to not leave your hair so clingy afterwards by coating the hair and smoothing the surface.

[@alexisjones8089]

I agree, you need to cleanse your scalp and your hair. Thanks for addressing that.

[@madame360]

Thank You! OMG! AfrikanHairGod, you are a god send! I love your videos, and this one has to be one of my favs.! For the love of God, people need to use shampoo! I normally do not like to comment about other people's hair care routines because they are so subjective and personalized, but I still feel shampoos are a must. This anti-shampoo crusade needs to stop. One would not wash their body with lotion, nor use fabric softener to take out heavy duty stains......Shampoos are not supposed to make your hair silky smooth that is what a conditioner is for. A shampoo is supposed to cleanse for the scalp's health and for the health of the hair. They make different type of shampoos for different scalp and hair needs, for the love of God people need to shampoo.

I don't shampoo my hair frequently but my hair stylist tells me to shampoo it every two weeks. Since I have relaxed hair I usually wash my hair after I don't want to wear my bangs any more because I don't put heat on my hair myself. I always let it air dry so I have to wear different styles. I got my hair relaxed 12 weeks ago and my hairs grown over 2 inches and there is so much build up on my hair when I put moisturizer in my hair my hands are coated in dark buildup, my pick too. I guess that's a sign I should wash my hair. I recently got a shampoo and deep conditioner that I like. My main reason for not washing my hair is because it doesn't moisturize the same way after I wash it. I could put the same products on it and it will just be...dry even though now it's the exact opposite of dry. Granted I've changed how I moisturize my hair so it might actually work on my post washed hair. I plan on getting my hair relaxed again in 12 weeks, so a total of 24 weeks, so I'm gonna end up washing my hair. I think I should get a clarifying shampoo

Thank you so much because and some naturals out here only wash their scalp and not their hair.

What started the no shampoo phaze was back when the only shampoo choices were commercial brands like Gardiner Fruitus, Pantene, Sauve, etc. Only natural brands that were popular were Shea Moisture and Carol's Daughter. Now with all these natural brands out and readily available such as Camille Rose, Blissful Curls, Mielle Organics, Mane Choice,etc. is out, I don't understand the logic of still only doing cowashing only washing, when there are now plenty of shampoos that cater to natural hair. Since only non natural product I use is Eco Styler, I find that using Shea Moisture JBCO Shampoo weekly is enough for me.

If anyone on here can help me out I would appreciate it but my baby’s father never really washes his hair like at all and he has so much product built up it’s gross and his hair just lays down flat at this point he can’t even do anything with it and I don’t even know how long ago he washed his hair forreal just wondering the best way to clean up so much build up and detangle it properly ??

What are your thoughts on clay washes?

The shampoo phobia started from the detail of sulfate making your hair dry.

Sitting in the salon talking about this very issue... Not sure how this trend got started.

I shampoo weekly, but I thought I'd cowash every other week. I cowashed last week and my scalp is...yuck. I'm fine with shampooing weekly.
