My Updated Wash Day Routine - FASTER, EASIER, & SIMPLER!

[@shashagirl]

I thought the Olaplex no. 3 was supposed to be used before washing hair?

[@folahontas]

Yea! A lot of times my hair is really dirty and its coated in all types of product, so ill use a clarifying shampoo first. You can opt to place the #3 here in between steps and then follow up with a moisturizing shampoo. I always double cleanse anyway. Hope that helped and sorry if it was confusing via video

[@celia7288]

No it’s after you wash the hair i use it that way to remove all the buildup and then I shampoo again after leaving it from 10 to 1h 30min or sometimes I leave it overnight I definitely noticed a difference when I left it for a longer then only 10min

[@shashagirl]

@@celia7288 makes sense because I used to wonder if it would be so effective for natural hair girlies like us that happen to apply lots of products normally to just use the Olaplex no 3 without first doing some bit of washing on our strands. I will definitely try this after washing, apply then wash again. Not sure how safe for me is the leaving for longer though with all these law suits flying about 🤭. Thanks!

[@SimoneMeee]

@@shashagirl It is. Its suppose to be used before washing your hair its not a conditioner its a bond builder. It says on the directions.

[@lototheflo9640]

I don’t blame the natural KZbinrs of yester-year. They were trying to navigate a world where it was relaxer or struggle. I think nowadays there is so much more information and more actual science being incorporated into how we take care of our hair and it’s beautiful to see the growth.

[@folahontas]

I agree! That’s why i was like i get it. Now that we know better we do better! 🙌🏿❤️

[@BklynBabe]

@@folahontas after the first few months of going natural I learned to not follow "trends" and just keep it simple and do what my hair and scalp likes. I do my hair just like this about twice a week, minus the blow drying. 👍🏾 Your hair is gorgeous! ❤️

[@winning3329]

Hair relaxers are bad and they can cause cancer, it's best to avoid them at all costs

[@walakirk5270]

Not yesteryear 😂❤

[@southernbella243]

I just had this combo yesterday. I’ve gone natural twice and my first time was such a struggle because of the lack of representation for our hair type on KZbin and information wise! You are so right

[@staciegreene2262]

Length retention on a thousand 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. No breakage shawty !!

[@folahontas]

HELLLOOOOO 😏🙌🏿🫶🏿

[@afrowatercolor]

I totally agree with you re: breakage. There was a time in my life where I would have broken hair in the sink, on the floor, and on my shirt every time I did my hair. I thought this was normal. I have learned how to properly care for my hair, and like you, I no longer have broken hairs after styling my hair.😊

[@EsiriE]

what do you do? because I always get breaker, even earn finger detangling

[@afrowatercolor]

@@EsiriE I am EXTREMELY gentle when finger detangling, or when handling my hair in general. Our hair is so fragile, and easy to break. Gentleness has worked well for me.

[@trfrierson]

I thought I was the only one that essentially gives my hair a water wash for about 10 minutes before I do anything else. My hair and scalps loves it.

[@Brwniee95]

Me too 🙇🏿‍♀️

[@katsol1995]

Same! It was a game changer for detangling

[@katduchessairhead421]

I agree, I can't stand when people say to wash your scalp only, um no you should be washing your entire head of hair, period!!

[@bowsoverbros]

Girl thank you so much for this. You really contributing to the evolution of natural hair journeys. I use to swear by “pre pooing” and though I do it faithfully, I always wanted something that didn’t take that much effort. Fire video👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@a_2502]

Yup I used to only shampoo my scalp and gently smooth it over my hair strands 🥴🥴🥴 I'm so glad I saw someone's TikTok 6 months ago about them washing their hair frequently and then I found curl specialists! They saved my hair fr. I just had a 45 min wash day today & 25 minute styling before the end of the day!!! 5+ hour wash day me 6-10 years ago wouldn't have thought it was possible I now love washing my coily hair 🥺 Your hair is beautiful!

[@daijamatthews]

Whew! You have been released from the naturalista hold. I love to see it! No deep conditioning for days, only washing the scalp, and reading product directions.

[@koyaharvey-walker3794]

This summarises what I have been telling everyone for years. My wash day is 20 minutes and has been for years. Shampoo thoroughly , condition and deep condition for 5-10 minutes only as and when needed. Sometimes my hair feels so soft I only need a leave in spray and its exactly the same texture and density as yours

[@veronicahaney6005]

same here, i only use leave in spray

[@glamour1120]

Definitely have been softly detangling and using the recommended time for deep conditioning and it’s been so time saving. Love this!

[@deborahobakpolo8651]

Some naturals overcomplicate wash day and natural hair in general...I only use deep conditioners when I need lots of moisture/protein (or even both).

[@septemberjai5216]

Yass you betta cut open those products 😂 We getting EVERY pennies worth 💯

[@kitanna33]

I'm transitioning to natural and saving this video! I like how simple this routine is and I take similar steps with my relaxed hair now which is pretty healthy. Definitely not trying to change the foundational steps too much, and I think this video showed me I won't need to. It's encouraging!

[@themzie]

It's the saturate your hair in water for 5 to 7 min part, since your last video its fasho a game changer❤❤

[@michelleeja412]

Great video! I follow a similar routine, yet slightly different regimen. I still pre-condition with olive oil overnight (or 1hr b4 wash if I'm short on time). What a difference, my hair is now ultra-conditioned, and I detangle before I get into the shower. I have fine, dense hair and it's just better for me. Also, Olaplex #1 is designed to go before #3. Its more than a conditioner, it's a bonding treatment. I deep condition after every wash day because it sets/preps my hair to be in best condition. Simplicity I find always wins because I have growth and length retention, so I know I'm doing something right. Ladies stay away from hacks and trends because you will go bald! But lastly, 15yrs natural and not looking back. I'm glad I didn't give up because now I have mastered my natural hair just by trial and error. I'm so very happy that my hair washing has went from 1 whole day to just 2hrs! who would have ever thought??

[@jbb8261]

I don’t leave conditioner for an hour either! My hair grew from ear to mid back length just using deep conditioner for the duration of my shower, not even steaming it under a shower cap either

[@ChiannaNycole]

Excellent video, love seeing more naturals giving up raw oils and shampooing to match the build up level on the hair. It has made me fall back in love with my natural hair, now that i’m not dealing with brittle dehydrated hair from build up. I cannot find that felicia leatherwood brush anywhere, it’s been sold out forever. Considering a tangle teazer with handle, but looks harder to clean out the hair.

[@annaking1375]

That shower is life.

[@MissChris.]

Just did and it took one hour! Scalp scrub, washed, conditioned and detangled in one hour. I added 15 min to today’s wash because I wanted the d.c. to penetrate with heat (&i have the extra time 😂) but if it was a weekly wash for me, it would only take an hour. And as you can see we have about the same length, my hair is just a little bit finer. Love you Fola for this babee!!!! Saved my life as a Mom to a very busy autistic little boy 😊

[@melancholygirl7793]

Washing only your scalp is useful if you have a condition like eczema since the special shampoo is too harsh and damages your ends. We in the community do a conditioner coat on our ends to help while shampooing too.

I also watched the video with Camille and I just want to say thank you so much for this life-changing content... My hair has been the same length for years and it would get dry so quicky, sis was doing the LOC method more than once a week. Can't wait to try out this new routine!

[@folahontas]

Hey sis! I actually don’t do anything. Staying on top of a routine keeps my hair hydrated in between washes. I will say i get better moisture retention sleep with a satin scarf/bonnet/pillowcase. & i let the steam from the shower kinda “refresh” my wash n go if it’s shrunken or something. But in general i dont have the need to re wet or re apply product at any point in between washes

You might want to get a clarifying shampoo and double cleanse, you could follow up with your regular shampoo to get rid of buildup to reset your hair. Then you could use the clarifying shampoo when necessary.

Only shampooing your roots is not something only the natural hair community perpetuated. That’s something that is recommended by a lot of haircare professionals. There is even a popular dermatologist here on KZbin that recommended this. Not saying debating on if it works on not I just wanted to correct when people tend to falsely accuse the natural hair community of things.

[@IAMCHIDERA]

Omg you should try the revair

It may not be the blow dryer. You may have protein overload, may need a trim, or your hair needs to be hydrated. However, it may be the blow dryer. I do want to try that Dyson, but it’s so expensive

Here I was thinking I was the only person who cuts the bottle to get the remaining product. And I have locs and I also wash my hair from root to tip, I moisturize the length of my hair with oil so it only makes sense to wash the length of the hair too

[@EsiriE]

I couldn't believe when you said you don't get breakage. I ALWAYS get breakage. Especially when blowdrying 😭 I've tried soo many things

[@Janchrisann]

How do you prevent breakage?

[@folahontas]

Keep the hair moisturized dont let it dry out. The drier it is the easier it is to succumb to breakage especially with lots of manipulation (combing, brushing, various styles). Also using strengthening treatments like the one I was using (Olaplex #3) helps

Why do you not comb or detangle your hair and or section it before washing it to get more out of the conditioner? Like better definition

[@folahontas]

I noticed a lot of breakage at the crown of my head so i stopped sectioning in 4 + its faster for me to wash with no sections (im still thorough and double cleanse my hair) Lastly, detangling before washing my hair felt redundant & time consuming since im going to detangle again with conditioner. when i started washing more frequently (less than 2 weeks) there wasn’t a need to detangle outside the shower or prepoi because my hair wasnt matted or super dry
