Ok so I've tried…🤔so many things I've seen on KZbin I lost count. I've only commented on results once in the past. So here goes my second…after watching this video I went out to the store for what I needed and began the process. I must say this has been the least greasy, and least messy prepoo I've ever done!!! By the time my hair was twisted in parts (which btw I loved using a comb to make straight parts) my hair already felt good, I had the least amount of shedding I've ever seen (my hair sheds like crazy, still don't know why). The next day me and my sister decided to spend the afternoon at a bath house that had a steam room. I packed up my hair products and spent the day chatting, laughing and deep conditioning with some serious steam. I washed my hair and was so happy with how it felt. My hair has been restored instantly. Never have I ever enjoyed the results the first go around without adding or taking away from the original (I did however use coconut oil because I only had light extra virgin olive oil in house) thank you thank you for sharing your hair experiences. If not for KZbin I would not be curly and loving it. 🤗

During my journey on trying to simply get my hair to just GROW, I stumbled across your many amazing how-to videos! They are extraordinarily phenomenal!!! But, the one statement you made to encourage us newcomers during this journey was, in the beginning of creating our hair regimens, "simply focus on the processes until we get comfortable with everything, and the rest will come together." YOU WERE SO RIGHT!!! That comment was always in the back of my mind whenever I was pre-pooing, washing, deep conditioning, etc. Those wonderful words of advice truly helped me stick with it, and has helped me get this far in my hair journey. Thank you SOOOOOOOO much! You're the BEST!! :)

Hey Jay Jay! I've been avoiding trapping "liquids" into my hair overnight lately. After everything that happened to my hair last year, I'm really trying to avoid irritating my scalp or water-logging my hair strands. I used to love deep conditioning or "plastic-capping" overnight, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt it left more of a chance for bacteria growth on the scalp, as well as water-logged hair, but that's just me and I don't have any proof of this. I just don't feel comfortable doing it anymore XoXo!! ❤️❤️
@JayJay-zr3kl7 жыл бұрын

Cause I notice my daughters hair eventually sucks up the product and her twists get dry and I have to open them each day and reapply moisture. But when I leave her hair open it stay moisturized for days. Should I keep it twist then? I thought when it stays moisturized its a good thing🤷♀️

@@wentzel812 do you mean dry as in it was wet/damp from products and now the hair has air dried so its dry? B/c that's normal. What twists are suppose to do is actually lock the moisture in. It absorbs all the products as its drying so when the twists are dry and you keep them in for a few days (however long it takes to dry or just as a style), once you take them out & say separate the twists her hair should *feel* moisturized. It could be the products you're using to twist her hair. The products that's work for her W&G may not respond the same when you twist her hair ...idk lol just a thought.

When I tell you I was at my wits end on how to get my hair to simply GROW last August, after years of trying to get it to JUST grow... I WAS AT MY WITS END! My body had changed so much over the past few years, so I assumed my hair was no exception. Breakage, shedding, stunted growth, you name it, I experienced it. Then last August, I stumbled across this video of yours, and then followed your superb DIY African Black Soap Shampoo video, the DIY Mango Butter, the oil medleys and as of late, the Tea Rinse to stop sudden shedding. I truly, truly believe that by pre-pooing with natural, actual AVL's, my hair is growing at a rate that it NEVER grew even before my body started falling apart! I AM ECSTATIC just to know that I wasn't balding after all!

Someone here suggested spooning out the whole aloe leaf, blend it, strain it, freeze what you don’t need. This was much better for me, no white pieces left and it only took like 5-10 mins to do.

This regimen has been a game changer for me!! I could never maintain shine on my 4C hair until now. The shine would last for a few days after washing. Now, my is so soft, bouncy and shiny. I usually purchase two very large leaves at my local supermarket for $0.99 each. I scoop out all the gel in each one, put in my cup blender, then strain twice it through cheese cloth or a very fine strainer into a skinny tip condiment bottle I bought for $0.50. The first time I tried it, I had pieces of pulp in my hair. It could not be washed out. I had to pick the pieces out. The straining step will save you a major headache. I add a little extra virgin olive oil and keep in the fridge. I have used it within 2 weeks and it was fine. You can add vitamin e to prolong it some. I use it a lot, so it doesn't usually last long for very long. It will turn a shade of pink maybe a week later, don't be alarmed it's just nature do it's thing. I keep the pulp (no oil) for quick facials and superficial burns. I use it every week. In my opinion, it works even better than the aloe vera juice.

I watched this video at 3:00am and got so inspired that I ventured out on a twilight mission to find aloe leaf. I used some oils I had hanging around the house (Shea butter, olive oil, walnut oil, Argan oil) as my sealant. My hair was VERY dry at the start, so making my parts took some extreme patience. It took about an hour and a half to complete the process, But Let me tell you, this pre poo erased the itch from my scalp and melted the tangles out of my hair. the moisture and shine was instant and I have plenty of aloe left over for next weeks treatment. I’m sure it’ll go a lot faster next time because my hair won’t be so dry and tangled. Tomorrow, I’ll be following up with the wash routine you recommended using the African black soap. Very excited to see the results. Thank you for sharing your process. So simple

First I want to say that its FREAKING AMAZING!!!! My hair is or was or it just looked like 4c hair. My hair was horribly dry stiff brittle. Lets just say plain old awful.... I got my hair straightened in august about 2 days before I left for vacation and lets just say my hair needed this. Badly...I am rambling.. So I did this and my hair soaked this all in my hair was super curly and struggling to take in the water which is normal for low porosity hair but I noticed a difference the way my hair reacted to the water. All in all USE THIS...

I tried this 2wks ago and fell in love. For the first time I had hardly any shedding and breakage. My hair was sooooo soft and manageable I was in awwww. It has never felt so moisturized since I have been natural and it stayed moisturized til my next wash day. Oh, and yes I'm repeating this process every wash day which is about every 2 week now that I have this routine. It use to be once a month. Thanks Whitney.

Since I've been washing my natural hair for so long this is the best it has felt in a very very long time like I'm amazed Whitney you always coming with the good stuff. I'm hooked now this will definitely be my pre-poo for a very long time. I've received so many compliments on my hair like it feels so light and healthy.

My question for you is, I was planning to do it again tonight, but I wanted to do a bentonite clay mask for my hair tomorrow. I usually put the mask on dry hair, but if I do the pre poo my hair is usually damp in the morning. You think I can still do the bentonite or should I just skip it? Thanks for posting this video!
