Hi Curly Chemist! im a subscriber who loves your channel ❤ I wanted to ask if you were open to breaking down the chemical differences in nanoplasty treatments vs more popular hair botox treatments. Nanoplasty salons tout the treatment as a "natural" alternative to hair botox (while hair botox is supposedly a natural alternative to keratin treatments 😂😭) a lot of videos seem to show both treatments producing harsh fumes when heat is applied, though. I've seen creators compare both nanoplasty and hair botox to a deep conditioner, but I'm skeptical. Do you have an opinion on efficacy of these "chemical free" treatments?

[@lisajackson3743]

Hi @CurlyChemistry, what are your thoughts on the Keratin smoothing treatment?

[@hereforit2347]

I used to wash my hair every five to seven days. I couldn’t retain length to save my life. Now, I wash my hair every two weeks, sometimes three. Past hip length now.

[@Fortheloveofshola]

Do you have low porosity or high?

[@hereforit2347]

@ : Frankly, I am not sure. I feel like my roots have a lower porosity than my ends. But I do not at all factor porosity into my haircare routine or product choices. I have failed to understand its significance and that’s the truth.

[@nzingahoney]

I am over 40 (43 going on 44). I have low porosity 4c hair. When I was younger leaving it alone and washing in twists once a week was enough to grow it. Now i have found i must do scalp massages daily in addition to washing once a fortnight and hydrating daily. I also can't use tighter protective hairstyles. Otherwise my parts just widen and the styles look way too scalpy.

[@chenarajohnson3563]

Scalp massages, a strict wash schedule and all around self care.

[@Ossouko]

Deep conditioning after each wash. I reached perimenopause and my hair changed so much and is much dryer. I had a check up and all is fine and I am taking supplement that are adapted for me.

[@tiffanydennis4227]

I got a water filter which was a total game changer for me. I need to do my scalp massages and every now and then use a high end shampoo and conditioner.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yess water filter!! I’m so glad you’re seeing results!

[@tiffanydennis4227]

@ yes. I use to feel small breakages while rinsing my hair with hard water, but 1 time using the filter and I didn’t experience no breakage at all.

[@tiffanydennis4227]

@ yes. Thank you. That was the best thing I can get for my hair.

[@amandaakatukunda]

I've tried so many filters but I think the water here is just too hard😢

[@tiffanydennis4227]

@ that’s just lame excuse. I hope you’re not to shame me into not using a water filter when I know first hand it works!

[@nolly-prime]

Scalp massages, more moisturising and gentle detangling

[@ebonywatson9939]

Drinking more water, taking my vitamins

[@CurlyChemistry]

Ooo me too!

[@afiaakos6937]

@@CurlyChemistry hello Doctor, is it good to use a shampoo that contains SODIUM COCO SULPHATE?

[@mrod87]

I just had a convo with a girlfriend of mine who exclusively wears puffs, braids, and twist outs. I rollerset her hair and she was complaining her hair was thin, and after observing her hair while styling i told her…i think her hair actually is very dense but she looks like she has a lot of water fatigue, as well as mid shaft breakage all thru out her hair…similar to what happens to women who get sew ins all the time. I offered to rollerset her hair to keep it stretched, but keep her curl pattern intact and I’m interested to see how her hair grows out over time. Figuring out how to style your hair in a way that keeps ur hair looking how you want AND keeping’s hairs in ur head looks different for everyone.

[@allMinabe]

Vitamins and diet have changed my hair growth!! My hair is longer and thicker now.

[@afiaakos6937]

what vitamins do you use?

[@user-eb5wq3vi2j]

You mentioned vitamins, one a day multivitamin every day and biotin 3 days a wk, consistently for 10 YEARS, I have been up on them and the one thing I noticed is being 60 this year, my HAIR COLOR IS NOT GRAYING YET! I have a few grays in my hairline but not many and I still have brown hair. Not lying, even my pubs are still brown! I haven't dyed my hair in 4 yrs so I didn't realize that I really am not graying heavily yet. That's not even hereditary because my mother was gray in her 60's so I strongly believe it's from the vitamins. My hair is just starting to retain length because I tried so many diys oils and concoctions that never worked but after watching your videos I developed a routine and just started sticking to creamy leave ins water and hair grease and now I'm retaining length and my brown hair is pretty. Didn't realize brown looks good on me when all throughout my 40s and 50's I dyed it jet black. I also stopped dying it because it caused so much breakage but didn't think I would LOVE my Brown Natural hair as much as I do!

[@lindakennedy735]

Less oils and taking my Vitamins more water intake. Thanks you!!

[@LethalLemonLime]

Link to the first study? Because the one I know of that was done on black women with type 4 hair suggests that we wash are hair about once every 3 days and that once a week is too long/infrequent. Also it would be good idea to cite the studies you mention in the description.

[@Tahesha]

💜 keeping up with my trims 🙃🤣

[@shinohime21]

I've finally seen some length now that I've been rocking mini twists. ifelt my hair on my back this wash day. not sure if it grew or if it became thicker b/c it also feels heavier top ithink imma start using aloe vera and clay washes more...My hair really likes DIYs

[@NatashasCurls]

I'm going to implement scalp massages and making sure I moisturize throughout the week. Can you provide the link to your video on knowing our moisture cycle?

[@CurlyChemistry]

Sure! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaVZ5aembxkh8Usi=w-2a5PkhCVNdJeMe

[@NatashasCurls]

@CurlyChemistry Thank you!

[@delishabanton8394]

I am going to reimplement a bi-weekly shampoo schedule and taking vitamins. Thanks for the video!!

[@brendageater3928]

Vitamins is what I plan on implementing this year

[@baepy]

Vitamins are much more expensive than fruits and vegetables in my country. I will try to eat better instead because my current diet is not it

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

I will start using almond oil when combing and add moisture and sealant more consistently.

[@noirprncess]

I started doing scalp massages.

[@crs_stl]

@CurlyChemistry Do we need to oil/grease our scalp? I thought that clogs pores. I have low porosity hair.

[@perrymk49]

When I stopped oiling my scalp, my hair started growing much faster. I have been 3 in from waist length for many years now. Everything else she said I agree with.

[@AFocusedLiving]

I’m gonna start reading labels product using water-based products. I want to try and do this to free full products. I don’t wanna buy too many just to make my simple routine.

[@rohlehr]

I need to take iron so that is my retention goal. I did detangle dry last night on a whim. I didn’t know it’s that bad for your hair! Luckily it’s not a habit for me!

[@tatertottz]

Thank you

You’re welcome! ☺️

[@krissiechristian]

I need to implement hair vitamins.

[@sapphirehaircare]

I may try hair vitamins. I'm not sure which one to take. I don't want the dosage to be very high. It bothers me sometime. Can you recommend a low-dose of vitamin CI do eat oranges every day at least 2 cuties every single day for real. But. I haven't took a vitamin in over 20 years. For my hair and my hair. Is that would you recommend? I am 63 years old. And just. Don't want too much. Thank you, kindly. Your hair is beautiful God bless you❤❤❤❤

[@kt4044]

bell peppers have more vit c than oranges

[@sapphirehaircare]

@kt4044 I eat those, too. Especially the red ones

[@antoinettechevalier2453]

I take the “Olly” brand gummies - the one’s called “Beauty” vitamins (they have one specifically for “Hair”, however the Biotin content of the “Beauty” one is easiest on my stomach). I’m over 55 years old myself, and I’ve been taking the Olly Beauty for about 3 years now w very good results. I have 4A hair that’s about an inch beyond bra-strap length; I think the hair vitamins have helped a lot w the thinning/shedding I was experiencing as I move through perimenopause & menopause. Good luck to you!

[@sapphirehaircare]

@antoinettechevalier2453 I'm trying. To get some without lilton and I don't want a large doses. So when I go to my Doctor I'll see what she says maybe she can recommend me something. I used to take the hair skin and nail vitamins years ago from nature's bounty, but that was years ago. May. Be, I'll go back to that, but they want you to take 2.

[@raven_grows]

can you share a link to the study you mentioned about black women and hair washing?

[@agfriends2307]

Hydration with clean water in the spray bottle every day

[@LG-vf8mk]

I need to start taking a vitamin. Do you still recommend ritual?

[@wendyhill3942]

Thus year I will switch up my natural treatments. Onion juice till it runs out, then back to rosemary and green tea, and next, maybe some hibiscus peppermint aloe juice.

[@lisabarclay9374]

Trying scalp massage but one question? How often should I comb my hair. I only comb my hair on wash day

Drinking more water.

Yesss! That’s a big one for me too.

@curly chemistry does it make siince to condition and deep condition on the same wash day.

Protective styling box braids

[@CurlyChemistry]

Great option!

[@hi.goodbye2167]

Third! Hey girl thank you so much for sharing! Ive commented this before but thought I would ask and comment again… I want to try out rosemary water but I saw a comment under someone else’s video saying “Herbs are also antibacterial and anti microbial, so it may work for a while because you might have an imbalance of bad bacteria on your scalp, but then it will eventually start killing off your good bacteria as well and your scalp’s micro biome will be imbalanced and you could eventually start seeing excessive hair shedding.” Is this true? Can it be true? The commentator said they’ve seen it happen so many times and figured they would just share the facts of what herb oils have been proven to do to the scalp over time. The commentator recommend digesting rosemary instead of putting it on your scalp. Please let me know your thoughts and opinion.

[@CurlyChemistry]

I haven’t seen that as an issue. Rosemary found in my tea rinse or even rosemary diluted in sweet almond oil supports scalp health. The biggest way to disrupt the scalp microbiome is product build up as mentioned in this video and infrequent shampooing.

[@hi.goodbye2167]

@ ahhhh ok cool thanks so much!
