The VALUE this video has delivered is unmatched. Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing this with us. You literally are changing generations of black women neglecting our hair. I love how you make the process so much less intimidating. Thank you!

[@SeunOkimi]

Aw, Im really really glad that it was helpful to you!!❤

[@daughterlives]

Honestly. The value!!

[@kagitsune]

For the folks who are feeling that their hair is feeling dry despite deep conditioning, see if your home/area has high mineral content in the water, aka "hard water". I use a showerhead with a replaceable filter and the difference is amazing.

I love how simple your routine is. I've been following a few natural hair stylists who advocate for a lot of the techniques you mentioned. Your twists outs are so beautiful. Shocked to see how good it still looked on day 5

Romans 10:9-10, 13 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I know I’m late, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for these tips. I grew up raised by a white family. Bless their hearts they had no idea what they were doing with my hair. After years of getting it straightened I decided to not let anyone touch my hair and to “care” for it myself. I would just use shampoo and conditioner run my hands through my hair, put product in and run my hands through my hair and that was it. I wouldn’t try braids or anything because I didn’t know how or felt like I would look stupid. Anyways long story short after watching your video I decided to try your styling tips and have gained so much confidence and can’t thank you enough for sharing this info and taking the time to go through everything, especially washing tips.❤❤❤

[@jessicajohnson261]

[@fullmooninbloom]

black girls are mermaids; the proof is in our wash day routine!! I twisted my hair while showering... wash, protein treatment, and conditioning... wooo, never thought I would see the day. but thinking of seun and other youtubers energized my biceps to get me through the process.

[@SeunOkimi]

[@ruthbanda9046]

Started washing my hair in twists and it really helped a lot and reduced my washing hours

[@samantharivera7747]

Your thumbnail alone warranted a "like". I absolutely love your use of "master" in how to master your natural hair. That is what some women don't realize - that it is possible to master your coils and curls. It can be a tough journey, but it's so worth it.

[@bthebeautyy]

I've recently decided to stay natural for a month and I really appreciate this video. Thanks sis ❤️

[@bangbangsomni]

For me personally, flat twisting is so much harder than cornrows. Cornrows I learned by just observingt he pattern, same thing with braids and feeling how my mom was braiding my hair. On the other hands, flat twists I cannot learn from just observing, even after watching tutorials on them my brain and hands still cannot comprehend how to do them and it's frustrating. I've heard some negative stuff about cornrows but I'm sticking with them and hope they work just fine with my hair.

[@SeunOkimi]

Thats interesting!!

[@bluebuffy5]

My mum is similar to you. She is very good at cornrows but struggles with flat twists because she is not used to the technique

[@Luckimee]

What negative things? Too pulling I'm assuming. Come to think of it I really don't see cornrows with a lot of girls

[@bangbangsomni]

@@Luckimee Yeah, I've heard that you can easily make cornrows too tight and pulling, so flat twists are better but I just can't wrap my head around how to do them

[@Coolwintertube]

This is the greatest video on 4c hair I’ve ever seen. My daughter is biracial and has thick 4c hair. This video answered all the questions I didn’t know how to ask.

[@EnhanceHerBeauty]

Girl I was literally just watching your braid takedown video from last year and checked to view your most recent video and you just uploaded!!! Excited to watch!!!

[@SeunOkimi]

Yay!❤️❤️❤️

[@gloryclement3451]

Your routine so similar to mine. Personally I don't twist my hair for the shampoo process, only during the conditioning process after I detangle my hair and rinse out while is in twist. So this would act like a leave in conditioner. For styling so far I do like two low buns with mousse or sometimes with no mousse at all and that would have been my style for the week until my next wash day (once a week).

[@SeunOkimi]

I love that!!

[@vanessamensah6653]

When I washed my hair they always felt too soft and break easily, but little did I know I needed protein treatments in my hair. Thanks for sharing this video and taking your time, it's exactly what I needed.

[@Tismunited]

This video is really helpful. I’m autistic and I have adhd which makes doing my hair extremely challenging. I start college soon and im far away from home so my mom can’t do my hair but I also don’t have to money to pay for someone else to do my hair. Doing my hair has always been incredibly draining so I would just put braids in so I won’t have to deal with it for two months. I’m glad I took the time to watch this video because I was just going to cut all my hair off so I won’t hit a burnout in college. I’m also happy that you showed how it can last up to two weeks. One week styles add a lot of stress for me. My hair dries quickly so I’m sure I’ll have to oil my hair throughout the week but other than that are hair is pretty similar.

[@El_B]

Your hair is so gorgeous! I love the twist out!! My favorite is when you put your hair up. It’s so pretty!!!!!!

[@1GoldenBreeze]

I'm a lazy natural. I don't like doing a lot of things to my hair, and I care for mine almost exactly like you do. I do apply my gel on soaking wet hair, but I diffuse it or sit under my hooded dryer for about 15-20 min. It doesn't completely dry my hair but it's dry enough to go out. I don't like bonnets either they really do mess up your style. I use a scarf or a Loc Soc and just fluff in the morning.

[@xyrphotic]

Thank you so much for this video, my partner has 4C hair but was adopted into a white family who never learned or taught him to care for his hair. He's very insecure about it and feels so lost so he just shaves his head regularly but had always wanted to do protective styles. He doesn't know where to start so I'm learning with him to help him and make him feel confident in his gorgeous natural hair.❤️

For me this meant my hair had product buildup and my washing process wasn't being effective.. Once I altered my wash routine I was able to not meed to refresh or add any additional product between washes.. I go 5-7days before needing to rewash.. I prefer washing my hair at least once a week, my scalp prefers it.. But when I was needing to refresh every couple days, I had product buildup..

I had no idea I wasn't supposed to reapply leave in and restyle my hair every single day. Sometimes I even style it multiple times a day and it's very damaged rn. I'm going to create a simple routine based on this video and hopefully I can restore my hair

[@faithfitness6434]

You can reapply; it just depends on what your hair needs. She’s giving a generic template for hair care so her hair might not need more leave in. Someone with dryer more porous hair or in a colder climate might need to reapply.

[@annab8971]

Yeah a lot of manipulation is not best depending on your hair type. I really only comb through once a week when I wash and moisturize once a week. Then throughout the week, I try to use my fingers to manipulate. My hair breaks easy and knots easy so I just leave it alone 😪

[@SeunOkimi]

Yes, you can do anything but manipulating it so often does increase how much breakage you see! Im glad you found it helpful!

[@boluwatifeishola]

Seunnnnn! Missed you. Just when I was thinking natural hair may just not be for me. I’m barely 2 years in.

[@154angel154]

My hair is so fone that i put a braid on each side while in the shower. I wring most of the water, and then i apply my liquid leave-in and proceed to braid. A day or so later, I apply some morrocan oil treatment to each side (leaving the braids). A few days later, i undo each braid and comb thru with my charcoal infused wet brush comb. I apply some camellia/pumpkin seed oil mix to my scalp. I further stretch each braid when I rebraid. I have been wearing headwraps as of late.

I can wash my hair with just about anything that doesn’t strip it one time. Rn, Aveeno curly kids shampoo is working for me. However, I need to use a deep conditioning masque and styling products that are moisturizing. Blue Magic Castor Oil formula grease makes my twists very juicy! I also use heat protectant spray on my natural hair for shine and to prevent it from drying out from the sun.
