[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

@@yawboampong4230 HOW ABOUT: Use Organic Castor Oil as a *HOT OIL TREATMENT* after washing and conditioning hair with NATURAL products. Wrap in foil then a large towel. *STEAM HAIR* by sitting under a dryer for 20 minutes OR wear all day and your body heat will steam it. When heated, PLASTIC LEACHES CHEMICAL ESTROGEN that's why I didn't say cover with a plastic bag] 🔹Rinse hair. Part into 4. Comb with WIDE TOOTHED COMB. Hair SHOULD feel softer. Braid in 4 plaits if going to Afro [OR do twists etc whatever decide] and AIR DRY or dry under Dome dryer. [Maybe make NATURAL GEL with Flaxseed Oil if you MUST use a gel after trying THIS 1st time without a gel. Recipes on KZbin] 🔹 *Take Hair vitamins. Drink 16oz water 3 tms/day, eat kale salad, sprinkle Ground Flaxseed on your food daily. Try Maternity Vitamins [add a Calcium bcs not 100% Cacium or Iron in them for some reason... Also HORSETAIL SILICA tablets [this is not a chemical silicone] which RETAINS LENGTH & should help SOFTEN HAIR.* 🔹Cornrow hair in protective styles at night with REAL Organic Aloe Vera Gel [OR Glycerine] and cover with a Silky Scarf. 🔹*Try the things above because they improve over-all HEALTH. Your skin AND HAIR TEXTURE should improve.* 😊 God Bless!

I go to a private school and a Porsche or any other high end car is an extremely common sight. 1 in 3 families own a high end vehicle at my school. I would suggest adopting someone from your own country because charity begins at home.

[@isaacshingange3733]

Actually, we need rich people to stop exploiting the system more than we need foreigners to adopt anyone. The life you live isn’t that different from ours. There’s a stigma around Africans and sometimes I feel belittled by people thinking we are a charity case. We aren’t. At least South Africa isn’t.

Not all black hair is the same. My younger sister is black with nautically straight hair. Tips for looking after your future son’s hair: 1. Curl pattern doesn’t matter find out the porus (low porosity, high porosity, medium/normal etc) 2. Find low maintenance protective hairstyles: I would recommend twists 3. Get the hair trimmed every 6 weeks 4. Use a hair cream ( I use Mane Curl hair cream that contains biotin) to seal the oil and water as moisture 5. Sprits the hair with warm water in a spray bottle first then moisturise the hair and scalp with oil (pure coconut, pure avocado, pure vitamin e, argon or pure actor oil will do), finally sealed Yh the hair cream 6. You should do a protein treatment every 4 weeks on your child’s hair 7. It doesn’t matter if people with straight hair use the hair products just make sure it is for the porous of your child’s hair

[@skymarshmallowsuperstar8261]

Also, let the hair air dry never use heat, style when dry but make sure it’s moisturised before styling

@@isaacshingange3733 I am Ethiopian but every country has it rich people and poor. You can't tell me there aren't ppl in S.Africa that aren't struggling with raising a child. You going yo a private school has nothing to do with your countries wealth. I get your point but that was irrelevant. If you are concerned about ppl belittling you, you should speak for the whole Africa because that's what ppl are biased about not a specific country. I went to a private school too. So does hundred thousands of Ethiopians but I can't conclude from one perspective either.

Many of the Hair products on social media actually focus on this even if it’s not marketed this way! The new Monat, for one.

Petrolatum and mineral oil does not clog your pores because the molecular structure of it is too large to clog your pores. I’ve been natural for 8 years now and I just went back to using grease and my hair has never been more moisturized. As long as you use it as a sealant and use a sulfate shampoo, your hair will flourish. Yes we wore protective styles as kids but if it truly clogged our pores, greasing our scalps like we used to wouldn’t have let our hair grow period. I know the natural hair community says it’s bad but they are misinformed. My hair was always dry when I used natural oils like castor oil, olive oil, avocado oil bc the barrier wasn’t strong enough to keep my hair moisturized for longer than 2 days. I’m 4b with a little 4a in sections.

[@GEMNaturals]

Ah, that makes sense, I got that information very early in my journey (I’ve been natural for 7 years) and just ran with it and never looked back! Haha! Products with those ingredients never worked well with my hair, but as I always say, everyone is different. What works for one person may not work for another. Thanks for watching!

[@bregottiLIVES]

GEM Naturals I truly enjoy your videos and I appreciate your response ❤️

[@iamtrinaful]

I want to go back to using grease cuz my hair don't really do well with oils either.

[@bregottiLIVES]

iamtrinaful just replace the oils you use in the LCO method with grease and don’t apply more than once a week. You hair should stay moisturized that entire week maybe even longer and it prevents your ends from tangling.

[@AyeJye]

Bre Alistic I use grease in my daughters hair I don’t believe the hype about how grease is bad.... the “market place” wants you to think grease is bad because grease may cost$ 3.00 but the natural oils cost 20.00 it’s all about marketing and black women fall for it every time

[@buffaloandbehold]

As a new white foster mom to a beautiful young lady of color (15)...our first child...this video was so helpful on my road to educating myself in the many ways to help her grow and care for her hair. She currently is recovering from some hair traumas in her previous placements and she is not comfortable with the length of her hair and so is not ready to wear it natural yet. I am curious about moisturizing her hair between protective styles. You mentioned not using an oil but rather a moisturizer first. I understand completely as it is the same with skincare- oils seal in moisture but they AREN'T moisture. I'm wondering if there is a particular moisturizer you would recommend before applying oil. Thanks again! I absolutely LOVE this video!

Very very helpful I'm 30 and still learning how to properly take care of my hair . Got some great tips and what not to do for my daughters

[@TriggaTreDay]

I just started using grease again a week ago and my hair has not felt better! I have thick 3c/4a low porosity hair that hates just about every leave-in condition on the market. Not to mention I feel like my hair sheds more whenever I use conditioners. So I only use aloe Vera juice and olive oil to keep my hair moisturized, but after awhile it just wasn’t enough. And oddly enough I started to see all of these naturals talking about how they are going back to using blue manic hair grease. So I said why not, it’s only $2.50 for a 12oz jar. And when I tell you my hair feels like baby hair 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾😌 it’s as if I died and went to heaven lol. I can’t remember when the last time my hair was this soft. So yes grease is for sure a sealant, but that’s why they made shampoo to wash it out. But blue magic says that it’s a conditioning grease and they were not lying.

Bottom line, do whatever works for YOUR natural hair. I am working towards NEVER putting a perm in my hair again. I was to get it done in April, but the beauty shop was closed. What did I do? My husband colored it, I washed and conditioned it, and used a moisturizer and hair pomade mixed with several types of hair oils. I was amazed how my hair came out so straight at the roots and it curled as if I had just had it done. It is now thicker and more curly than when it was permed. Our NATURAL Hair is responsive to the Jheri Curl products. I would recommend using them as an alternative to using the Jheri curl perm.

[@livingalaska2269]

I randomly found this channel. If all your videos are this interesting I am so following. I just started allowing my natural grow. I usually keep it short.

[@tequilashots875]

I completely agree with number one. I had to stop comparing my hair and wanting the hair of other KZbinrs. When I did that my hair did not thrive because I was doing everything that they were doing.When I started to leave my hair alone and listen to what it likes it thrived.

[@lavendereve]

I'm old enough to say that I had my first perm when I was 7 and back then the only brand was French Perm and it was not sold retail. I was greased from my head to my neck and two women applied it. All grease had a petroleum base, there only hair moisturizers was lotion (body lotion) or water and we all had hair down our back. We didn't have the no manipulation styles, you got you hair combed every day. When you hear people talk about the blue grease, they are not lying. Shampoo had sulfates, there was no such thing as prepoo and you didn't hear about alopecia ever..... Oh yeah, we got our hair washed every 2 weeks

[@CG-qk1zs]

Mine wldnt grow to a certain length too.. until i jus left it alone

[@jamaicangurl4u]

I have long hair but my opinion is that chances are that's the length your hair is destined to grow. Just look at the hair on any other part of your body, it grows to where it wants and then falls out. Your eyelashes and pubes will never grow long enough to cornrow. Yes, you may be able to improve conditions for hair growth, but your hair has a growth cycle that stops when it's ready and there's not much you can do about that. White people don't take half the care of their hair as we do and their hair grows just fine, that's because hair grows to where it grows and then it falls out and a new one takes its place.

[@hikes-bikes-nbooks9088]
