BREAKING THE RULES: 5 POPULAR NATURAL HAIR RULES I IGNORE!

[@CoilyCode]

The lesson for us all: do what works for your uniquely beautifully and designed hair and stay out of other women's hair.

[@rehanna6594]

I like this comment.

[@carmelitarozendaal6296]

😂😂 Stay out of otter womens hair. You are so right😅

[@lindaa5344]

The rules were so on point especially the Silicone for the hair. For me the one about clipping your hair ends often I only trim my ends when my hair needs it.

[@CurlyChemistry]

I agree! Only when needed. ☺️

[@kriseme4734]

😊 It is so true to see what individually works. My hair thrives when I do a very light trim more often - every 2 months - this has truly helped me retain length. I have high porosity hair that used to get fairy knots and now I don't have that issue.

[@allurachanel]

thankyou! finally someone admits that heat isn’t all that bad! i’ve been stretching my hair every other week with cool / warm air, silicone heat protectant & i have retained over 5 inches in length in one year! i flatiron and trim about 3-4 times a year and my flat iron never goes over 350degrees. my hair grows pretty fast but that’s the most i’ve ever been able to retain in a year due to ssk and breakage when i wear my curly hair. next up is tailbone length (3 inches away!! 💕)

[@lashundavis4231]

I still use grease

[@DS-Trina]

I clarify my hair during every wash day (every two weeks). ORS Creamy Aloe moisturizing clarifying shampoo clarifies my hair but leaves it moisturized and this product has a lot of slip which helps with detangling.

[@freda4882]

I agree with everything you have to say. I love the knowledge you share. I love my silicones, my grease, my shampoo and conditioners. I don't get me a wrong I am a true naturalist. I love my henna, fenugreek, amla and many others and the only time I use a co wash is when I do a full henna mask to cover a few grays hairs I have around my temple.

[@sunrae7680]

Hi. What henna brand to you use ? 😀

[@freda4882]

@@sunrae7680 I use hennasooqs Red Raj and Rajasthani. I typically mix the two, to get the color I want. I also have curly proverbz henna and her amla. But those 2 are the only ones I use and trust that there won't be any non-organic additives to the products

[@ebonywatson9939]

Can you share that mask please I need to cover up some stubborn greys❤❤❤❤

[@rehanna6594]

So awesome!!!!! I appreciate you loving on us with such wisdom.

Heat prevent my hair from breakage. Loving my blow dryer and the tension method technique.

Love it!

[@lacuzy31]

What blow dryer do you use please?

[@laylor4360]

How often do you blow dry?

Thank you for this info! 7:34

[@CurlyChemistry]

You’re welcome! 💜

[@kimberlyrussell3111]

Thank you! Thank you for this video! I've been following you for the past six months, and I've learned a LOT about caring for my natural hair. My hair isn't growing, but it's no longer falling out, and I am grateful for that. ❤️

[@danafisher8613]

I have found a good formulated Co Wash that my hair loves … my best advice is LISTEN to YOUR Hair. I do my research and read labels and will order from a small company than what I have to choose from off the shelf. These are the rules I follow… because my hair is what I listen to because there are too many out here just loose on the keys and do not know my hair. No heat, no sulfates, no silicones works for my hair. I do listen to the info you give and I use what’s work for my hair. I don’t blow dry or straighten my hair, I use a hooded dryer when I am doing my DC 💙

[@lizzieclay6774]

I don't do prepoo nor co-washing. Thanks for the information, really appreciate it. I also don't trim as often as recommended.

[@Momo-wi3ul]

Excited to get knowledge!!!

[@CurlyChemistry]

Yay! ☺️

[@vanessabell8791]

The viewpoint you've expressed in this particular video are SO helpful and timely. Thank YOU for providing wisdom, balance and your educated opinion on all of these various trends that are widely talked about (and passionately debated) in the natural hair care community. I appreciate, respect, value, agree with and learned from everything that you shared here.

@CurlyChemistry You're welcome, Ma. Godbless.

[@cookieoliver3196]

Love this topic! I wash my hair once a week because my scalp gets tender if I don't. My people, (friends and family) think that's too often. No one knows that your hair needs washing like you. Once a week or once a month is up to you.❤

[@shilohwaite891]

Same here!

[@chocolatequeen06]

The Aloe Vera, Fenugreek, avocado, and banana butters and hair mask I tried it and my hair started falling out. Since I have been using the Raw Sugar shampoo and conditioner, with your tea suggestion I added Chebe live-in conditioner and hair butter it has been thriving and growing. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge I learn a lot from your videos.

[@kriseme4734]

Hi, what Chebe leave-in conditioner and butter do you use?

[@jennsee777]

The rule I do not follow is using a comb every time to detangle. I finger detangle, and it has worked out very well for me.

[@lacuzy31]

Please can you make a video on the best hand blow dryer to use for our natural hair. Thank you.

[@freespirit7450]

Revlon blow dryer puddle brush.

[@soloj1798]

I have ordered ethic girl back in June 26th have not received my package as of yet. Have reached out multiple times. Very disappointed

[@haneen9467]

My hair is on a recovery journey now that I’m introducing some protein every wash day. My hair feels more moisturised when I add protein!

[@AR-md1zq]

I use protein usually every other wash day but if I’ve been on vacation or doing something that tearing up my hair. I will do it a couple wash days in a row

[@christines1821]

Me too I’m high porosity and my hair loves it right now I use it weekly myself.

[@kriseme4734]

Hi, what protein products do you use?

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

I do not have a timeline for trims, if I see breakage or I do a chemical treatment I trim. Also I always implement some form of protein every time I wash. My hair is doing well with it.

[@freespirit7450]

Everytime I use sulfate shampoos my would break off because of dryness. Ever since switching to products without sulfate my hair been retaining lenght. They do have sulfate free clarifying shampoo and it work just as good as sulfate shampoos. Black people hair is naturally dry. Why do you think black own products don't use sulfates. People think it's the heat thats causing breakage but truth is its the sulfates. Sulfates can damage african hair. That's why it's best to use products that's made for your hair type. All this time I thought I was high porosity but soon as I switch to sulfate free my hair went to low porosity. Reason how I know that because my hair took forever to dry. When I use sulfate shampoo my hair would dry quickly.

[@AR-md1zq]

I will start cowashing in between wash days because of these record hot days in Florida. Tried shampooing more often with very moisturizing fragrance free shampoos due to my allergies but that was too drying for my hair. I have already tried many different surfactants sulfate in many different fragrance free shampoos and they are too drying so I use fragrance free chelating shampoos with more gentle surfactants and that works for me I love oils it’s all about the right oils at the right time. I tried the no oils no butters for 6 months wasn’t for me. My hair thrives with oils.

[@MissBrendaLeeGertman]

One rule I break is finger detangling😩.

[@christineribone9351]

Hi, Im trying to learn which butters and oils are cationic. There is nothing on Google about it. Would you kindly create somethung on it?

[@sarah3998]

Thanks before even watching Coz I know it’s gonna be really helpful. I have learned so many things from you.... plz share the best way to prepare n use green tea rinse

[@CurlyChemistry]

You’re so welcome! For the green tea, you can make it like your normally would make tea at home, add no sugar, let it cool then use it as a hair rinse.

[@sarah3998]

@@CurlyChemistrythanks.. n do I leave it to dry or rinse again with plain water .

[@pragooutube]

I've been using it as a spray rather than a rinse. I guess I'll be a guinea pig to see if there are any bad side effects to leaving it in your hair, and using it daily. Almost every night I spritz my exposed scalp and especially the front sides/ edges of my head, then slather some leave in on top, then tie down with a silk scarf. Been doing it for 2 weeks so far, no negative side effects discernible as yet, my scalp is looking less 'scalpy', less bald. May be too soon to tell for sure, but I think my hair is filling in nicely where I was starting to get receding (because of keeping basically the same parts and using a bit too much tension.)

[@BB-uy1pv]

Thank You very

[@demetriacampbell3251]

I use a liquid protein leave in conditioner and grease and my ends are thanking me. I no longer use creamy leave in conditioner which dried my hair out over time.

[@florizellathompson1562]

I say everything in moderation

[@uzoekpunobi8286]

hey love your videos! as a cosmetic chemist, can you talk about the 30 day detox made by Black Girl Curls? I'm curious about your opinion based on your scientific background. I haven't really seen you go in depth as to why you may not agree with their logic apart from describing the benefits of oils, mostly as a 'hear say' opposition. But instead of mentioning oils and butters and their benefits based on the hear say or in passing, are you able to talk at length of your critique or thought process based on your professional background with the concept of the 30 day hair detox and 'Wash Your Damn Hair' made by them instead of just oils and butters as a topic? Hope you do, thanks in advance! :)

[@denorene16]

I technically don't follow the rules. Personally, I don't really know them. As for co-washing, I'm not really doing it properly. But I realize that I should be washing my hair every week, so a co-wash would fit perfectly into my regimen.

[@euphemiaedem9808]

I read that sweet almond oil and Shea Butter are good heat protectants. What's your take on it? Thank you beautiful and intelligent sistah. You and your family always stay blessed and healthy ✝️🙏🛐🕊️. My main problem with my hair is...dry ends. No matter what I do they're just dry. Should I cut them?

[@CurlyChemistry]

Cutting them may help you start over, I had to do that before and now they’re a lot better! Sweet almond and Shea are okay as heat protectants, but I still think silicones are better.

Hey Tonya there is a problem with my hair in middle part. It is so short ,the most rough and it is the shortest part as well. Doesn't always grow quickly sometimes I even have doubts of if had actually grown at the first place. Please tell me what to do!!

[@bumblebee4024]

Check your health. Hair growth starts with proper eating & nutrition. Are you vitamin/mineral deficient? Iron, vitamin D, potassium, & B vitamins are big ones - meaning if you’re deficient in any of those, the hair will have obvious issues.

[@keishalashon3863]

I don't co-wash my hair. My low porosity tresses need shampoo.

[@theafrogirl-blss]

The natural rule I don’t follow is trim your hair every 6 months. Thank you for the video.

[@TheTjoy910]

Does it matter if the shampoo has dimethicone in it?

[@assiriacarvalho1326]

Can i use hair grease as heat protection?

[@tla091]

My mom used grease when she use to press my hair. Not sure if it protected the hair but it was shiny and my hair was not damaged.

[@CurlyChemistry]

You can, but it may weigh your hair down.

What would you advice upon selecting shampoo n treatments for low porosity hair when I am living in almost in other part of world n don’t have your suggested products available ..... my hair are 29” bt reduced to almost only 1/10th toward ends .
