How I Moisturize Natural Afro Texture Hair - SimplYounique

[@empress395]

You natural ladies on You Tube are so inspirational. Im 13 weeks into my transition and at times I get frustrated and feel like relaxing again but seeing videos like this really help me to carry on transitioning. Your hair is beautiful BTW!

[@BestBirth]

I'm not black, but I must say, your videos are inspiring!

[@ohbabyitskieare]

I love how your videos are always straight to the point, you don't start to blabber off on other topics lol. They are really informative and very easy to follow.

[@Liliworld98]

I mean, your hair has just come such a long way from your big chop to the present. Its healthy, thick, bouncy, and just a delight to look at. Thanks so much for sharing your tips and journey with us.

[@loxykelly]

I love how you still use what's been working for you! Good thing to remember! And a good way to avoid becoming a product junkie!

[@Mary_Dean]

thank you for posting this vid. you have inspired me to go from gluing and sewing in weaves for 6 years to a big chop of my unhealthy natural hair. im going to wear my hair like your 5 natural twist styles. i hope the moisturizing products work well for me!

[@MrsCottonCurls]

Great, simplistic advice! I couldn't have said it better myself. I keep trying to reiterate this to the ladies of my natural hair meetup.

[@SimplYounique]

Hey FruityMelody, Thanks. I don't have much of a regimen. I use neutrogena face wash & ponds moisturizer. That's about it.

[@MzLisaD1]

I know life is happening, but know that you are missed on KZbin/facebook! You were such a positive force & I pray all is well! Happy Holidays!

[@nessawithsmiles]

MzLisaD1 YES! My sentiments exactly

[@Msfarmerangelica1]

I love your natural hair videos! You are so detailed and break everything down to a "T"! Thank you so much!

[@888ThomtheArtist888]

I LOVE your videos. You have my dream hair. I get so happy when I see a new video in my box from you. You also motivate me to look my best. I'm proud of you and you make me proud to be a black woman.

[@sasiii3]

your videos have inspired me soooo much to start my natural hair journey. my last relaxer was December 31st 2011 and i'll be doing my big chop on the same day this year. thanks for the inspiration x

[@SimplYounique]

@DimplesDeep1 I use the oil as a sealant, so I apply the water & moisturizer first to penetrate the hair shaft and then the oil to lock everything in. I doubt that changing up the order will make much of a difference, so do it the way that works best for you.

[@SimplYounique]

@nonfictions Yes! And consistency is important. Our hair has to be trained. Glad you agree. :-)

[@nikamaal]

I started doing this bout 3 mos ago and my hair loves me for it. I have gained nearly 3 inches, in 3 mos. My hair hasn't grew this quick since i was a child. So thanks for this vid. Cause i never would have tried this if i hadn't come across this vid.

[@Mubangamumba]

I love your simplicity...water olive oil.. done really... not much product build up and your hair is wonderful. keep doing what you do.

[@iamchangingtoo]

I alternate between a leave in conditioner/hair concoction and a mixture of 1 cup/1 cup aloe vera juice. I never knew my hair could be so manageable without a relaxer. All about moisture and retaining moisture. So loving my hair.

[@SimplYounique]

@TantraGal I'm not sure. I've seen people swear by castor oil. Try incorporating that into your routine along with scalp massages to stimulate blood flow.

[@blackrraine]

I had two jars of that shea cream in my cabinet just sitting there. So after this video I decided to use it to moisturize and retwist the front of my hair. All I can say is that its day 3 and the hair is still moist. Thanks for the reminder.

omg , thank you so much. your videos are very helpful. me and my mom going natural together

[@luckyducky224]

How nice!

[@ladychocolate777]

Absolutely love all your videos, you make everything so clear to understand!!! You definitely make me proud to be a naturalista!!!

[@HoneySnowflake]

i love your hair "tutorial" vids.they are straight to the point,very informative with simple steps lol

[@Clarinder19]

This video was appropriate for me! I am on operation moisture. My hair has been so dry in this horrible winter. Need to focus on getting a proper moisture routine going. Thanks!

[@starburstmoore]

my friend watched your video and now her hair looks gorgeous she uses water now and the shea mosture smoothie and grapeseed oil and her hair look so much better. I also use grapeseed oil and my hair loves water , you give great advise.

[@SimplYounique]

@badtrik The same thing applies to color treated hair. Nightly or every other night.

[@SimplYounique]

Hey CassDeex, Thanks.. No, it's the same. I doubt that I will change it.. It's been working well for me.

[@SimplYounique]

@Mrsdevsgirl Thanks for watching

[@SimplYounique]

@iamchangingtoo Definitely! Glad you found what works for you.

[@diamondsandlipgloss]

I SOO agree in that a certain product isn't necessary for moisturizing, since the moisture comes directly from the WATER...the oils just seal in the water/moisture...you haven't stuck w/ a certain product throughout your growth process and your hair is just as healthy and long as the others that rely on certain brands...no offense to those who chose to stick to brand names, but this vid is proof that it isn't necessary...thanks for sharing Keri

[@moonsmoothie9]

I've been doing this for the past couple of months and I have seen more growth in just 2 months than I have in the past 10!!! And it's so simple. Moisturize with water and depending on how I feel....

[@MissOtha]

the scalp produces its own natural oils that helps the hair at the very roots. its called sebum, so nothing really needs to be done to the scalp besides a good wash.. the steps we take on our hair is to retain length.

[@BoudoirBoutiqueNC]

I do the same thing. I thought I was nuts for using the creamy product second, because it is a middle man,LOL but when I am consistent my hair comes out great.Thanks for this vid.

[@MikkaKaye]

Hey Keri! I use the same method...omg! I wear twist all the time since I have school and I am always busy so I do moisturize my twist with water and olive oil and it works perfectly. Great video!

[@SimplYounique]

Hey Arwai5, That is definitely NOT the weirdest question I have been asked.. lol.. I got it from Sally's Beauty Supply Store. You can get them from any beauty supply store though.

[@bslorbust]

Yes it is. Its very nourishing for all hair types. ALL races. Some people can leave it in their hair. Others do hot oil treatments with it and wash it out. ITs awesome!

[@whitneys21]

This is so helpful. Thanks for making this video. It help me so much for showing me how to moisturize my hair at night.

[@LightDaytonDreams]

Kerry Thank you so much for posting this video. I was going to email you tonight about KT's hair because its been so dry. You are a life savor.

[@SimplYounique]

Thanks Liliworld627.. I appreciate you taking the journey with me.. :-)

[@SimplYounique]

Hey moonsmoothie9, Glad we agree!

[@beauty4blackprees]

i believe u do it whenever your hair feels dry. the thicker the texture the more often u have to moisturize

[@SimplYounique]

Hey 888ThomtheArtist888, Wow.. That was so sweet. I'm so glad I could help.

[@TanishaACunningham]

I actually use the same exact products on my hair to keep it moisturize. It is absoulutely the best recipe for thick/full curly hair texture. SheaMoisture is a Godsent in a jar! Sure wish they had it when my mama was doing my hair instead of Dax and Softsheen!

[@senecahordge4457]

great video you are absolutely right no specific product works from one person to the next.

[@licemam]

You're my inspiration and i love your videos. Your hair looks really nice and has grown a lot. Keep up the good work and keep inspiring us!

[@SimplYounique]

Hey TheColorfulnails.. Thanks, I'm glad you find my videos helpful. :-)

[@SimplYounique]

@aunticci72 Thanks.. No, I did not blow it out. It was in an old twist out. Tying down my hair at night with a scarf helps to flatten it out and make it look a little smoother.

[@iwasborntobefly]

she just seems so happy with her hair.

[@SimplYounique]

@CrownJewel32 Thanks.. No, it was in an old twist out and I tie it down at night to stretch it out a bit. Tying my hair down helps to flatten my hair a lot.

[@mdsong12]

Love your videos. I've gotten some great ideas for the upkeep of my natural hair. Yours is so beautiful, thick and healthy. I agree that we should use the products that we feel comfortable with & that work best for our hair. The same product works differently on everyone's hair. I'm big into products that have nice scent, as I love for my hair to smell nice, so I generally gravitate towards those types of products. Right now my fave prods are Ecostyler and the Hollywood Tea Tree oil.

[@teeahtate]

Your hair looks so nice and healthy.

[@my4hair]

I just love your hair channel. You are one of my favorite too. Thanks for the tips!

[@Occupy23]

Just what I needed! I keep my hair in twist througout the week. So, I'll try the water + coconut oil on them in teh middle of the week. Instead of either wating til the end of the week, or in mid week do it all over. Too much time. This seems much faster/easier.

[@SimplYounique]

@SJANELJ Thanks for watching

[@SimplYounique]

@MsShowtime2010 Thanks.. It's still growing.. I'll do a length check probably when it gets closer to summer.

[@potterylady1]

I like what you said about not having to drench the hair with water but just add alittle. This works for me...dantangling damp hair. That way I hear less hair popping lol.

[@marthawillis5834]

Slowing learning how to care for natural hair, I have a while to go before I am all natural, thanks for all the info, its very helpful!

[@mimi4sure]

Thank you so much for this is very simple technique that is all I was looking for! There are so many videos on how to maintain moisture I was looking for something quick and easy and simple and you are the pick for me! Thank you so much can't wait to try!

[@charleneluvable]

love the way you treat your hair.

[@Goddessofmydestiny]

I revisit your videos periodically. They are i informative and are great hair inspiration. Thanks

[@loso2211]

your hair looks shiny and healthy!! *.* wow. love your vids

[@brendavey]

@SimplYounique You my inspiration I tell you. You are fabulous and very much encouraging. Stay blessed hun!

[@sincerelyxoxonatalie]

your hair is beautiful girl i never seen natural hair like this.

[@TheKeke580]

Your hair has really grown!

[@doreeneb]

yeah, you can pretty much use any oil you like but try and get the 'extra virgin' or 'cold pressed' version

[@MrsSpontaneous]

Lovely. It's growing so fast.

[@SimplYounique]

@1960genius Thanks for watching

[@Fosmoore]

Thanks so much for your videos, you don't know how much you have helped me on my hair journey.

[@desireedwdent5]

Hello!! Your features, your hair, and personality are all just so beautiful. I love your videos. I have tried some styles on my 12 yr old daughter, but they just don't come out the same, I guess it's her texture or the products I am using. I am a newbee natural (B/C Oct2011/last perm Nov2010). The funny thing is my son (22 yrs old) hair texture and thickness is just like yours. I wish I could try some of your styles on him. LOL!!! See that, you could wear those twist just like that. NICE!!

[@SimplYounique]

@JaelinsMyWorld Since you just big chopped your hair needs to be trained. Apply water regularly. I found that eco styler gel helped enhance my curl definition. Apply a leave-in conditioner or a moisturizer before applying the gel. Keep in mind that eco styler gel does not mix well with all products so don't be afraid to experiment until you find the perfect combination.

[@SimplYounique]

@tracyrscott Yes, I've heard that method works well. :-)

[@lovlilady]

Simple....I love it. Beautiful hair

[@meryhewsa4178]

Typically most shampoos are just supposed to clean ,so my expectations are relatively low.Argan life shampoo cleaned well and left my hair shiny & supple! My curly hair was less tangled & the scent was fragrant. So, Argan life is awesome shampoo! I suggest you also.

[@jamaicanpartygirl400]

Thank you for making this video cause I was getting confused on how I can moisturize my hair :)

[@PrincessAce726]

Her name is Keri, she's so very, fly oh my its a little bit scary :) Keri I love you! Your videos are perfect for my hair type and you use the same products as I do! All of your styles work with my hair type. You are an inspiration to all women going naturall

[@tcllfk]

Your hair is so beautiful!

[@MsSandra]

i've been looking for a way to keep my hair moisturized better! Thanks for the tip, I bought my EVOO and hope it will turn out right in the morning:)

[@tequilashots875]

I have to agree. Took me a while to figure out which products my hair liked. Trial and error. My hair doesn't like olive oil either. It loves grapeseed and avocado oil.

[@jksgolden2007]

Thanks for the video. Always to the point. Love it. Thanks. Will start incorporating this tip.

[@regmcole]

Your hiar is really looking beautiful and crazy growth!!

[@DORAEMIthesinger]

I used to use olive oil to seal .. it just wasn't for me! It would kinda just sit in my hair ... now i LOVE using coconut oil because it actually saturaits into the hair :)

[@Misskimmy2011]

Great video... I agree with everything you said. Water is the key.

[@SimplYounique]

@205bamommy Glad you found it helpful. :-)

[@whatoyou]

[@DebbieFBI]

[@Desireealycia]

[@sayobabe9389]

Hello Ms. Simply Younique I have been following you for about a year and half. You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out. You inspire me. Now let me make sure I have this right. 1. Water 2. Leave In Conditioner 3. Cream like shea butter 4. Oil to seal?

[@SimplYounique]

@sasiii3 Best wishes to you on your new journey!!! :-)

[@nonfictions]

This is what I do. It works great and is inexpensive (even the organic products). I use water + conditioner or cream + oil or butter.

[@remainlovewithgod9477]

You hair looks simply beautiful.

[@zoe77able]

Great video Kerry!!

[@JenniLovette]

I love it...your hair always looks so healthy :)

[@Mrsdevsgirl]

[@MissAwesome2]

your hair is so perfect.

[@moonsmoothie9]

I'll moisturize with conditioner, coconut oil, and a butter, or a butter and my hair is soooo nice and soft the next day!!! This method is PURE truth!
