how to take care of natural hair + updated hair growth tips || alyssa marie

[@AllThingsSoul]

Your hair looks super healthy and beautiful! I'm going to try changing 3 things; stop using so much oil; finger detangle; do a mid-week wash and light conditioning. One tip I've discovered - don't sleep with your hair loose for more than 2 nights; twist or braid it every couple of nights to prevent breakage. Another tip I discovered - do trim your ends every 3-4 months. My curls were beautifully defined after I trimmed my ends and I saw less shedding. Thank you for these excellent tips. Your hair looks amazing!

Thank you

I think she has average length for 1 yr of hair growth. Her hair is beautiful!

I love these tips!! When she said every 4-6 weeks for a trim I was like wait a minute 🤔 but she meant months. And if I can add another big tip which to me is the biggest tip to anyone because its the foundation of any type of hair growth no matter the texture which is keep your hair and scalp clean especially the scalp whether that means using a shampoo, cleansing conditioner (co wash), clay what ever you choose.. So many people in our community believe in this myth that (dirty hair) grows for some reason and their walking around with itchy clogged scalps and all types of dermatitis and dry hair because they think water for what ever reason drys their hair out. Some of us can go longer than others without shampooing all the time and it works for them I agree we are all different and not all of us produce heavy amounts of sebum so we can go a little longer but only cleansing your hair once a month is pushing it at least every two weeks which to me even that is pushing it I can't go longer than 4-5 days my scalp ain't having it. But trust me clean follicles are the foundation of any type of hair growth and if your someone who suffers from a tender headed itchy scalp it could be because your not washing it enough so its causing your follicles to be irritated and inflamed.. In my experience I've noticed alot of people with scalp issues such as ( tender headedness) also don't wash their scalps for weeks at a time and they keep slapping oils on their scalps trying to combat the issue when its only making it worse. People sometimes don't realize your wash day is the most important day for your hair its the day when your hair gets the most moisture and TLC its the foundation for a healthy hair regimen. I use to have the worst scalp condition because I followed the not washing my hair for weeks myth and instead of listening to my scalp when it was trying to simply tell me it needed to be cleansed I walked around with horrible dermatitis until I learned my scalp needs to be frequently cleansed every few days and now my hair grows faster than I ever could imagine. Imagine what your face and skin would look and feel like after weeks of not washing it..Your scalp is also skin so that dead skin and oils just sit on it for weeks at a time. Just a tip listen to your scalp more often than not an itchy scalp is your scalp trying to communicate with you screaming cleanse me please.

[@clairedaniels1877]

Tray This is all so true. I wash my scalp with shampoo now. I was also having scalp issues with not cleansing my scalp with the right cleansers. I wonder if that’s why so many women are experiencing hair loss with the Devacurl products? The build up buster and low 💩 by devacurl are not cleansing enough to wash my scalp.

Lighter oils No heat Finger de-tangling Trims!

[@Fwixi]

Thx!

[@erinnicole5871]

@@Fwixi depend on your hair type! my hair likes butter and oils

[@Krista1816]

Yesss! Fill them in! I love that you're open to professional advice I've also seen such I big difference in my hair since I stopped using oils and started using more water soluble products 🙌🏼

[@shanekag9904]

Loved these tips. I would have given the same ones. I especially love the one about not using heavy oils and butters on the hair. It was so frustrating when I started my hair journey, a lot of the hair videos on youtube recommended shea butter and various oils to seal the hair but it NEVER worked for me. Always made my hair feel dry and tacky. I can get away with putting a very small amount of certain oils on my hair but thats about it. So far whats working for me is just to use a leave in follow by a styler. Right now I'm using Pantene gold series curl defining pudding or mane choice 24 karat twisting gel. My hair stays moisturized for days and all I have to do is spray it midweek. I want to one day try and incorporate a midweek wash as you mentioned to see if it affects the moisture levels in my hair and length retention. As of now though, once a week deep treatments are a must!

[@SLees-tv7gh]

Regular Aloe vera and rice water treatments, 10 minute scalp massages with peppermint oil, rosemary oil, and Olive oil before washing or co- washing, NO heat and a trim at a natural hair salon twice a year are my growth tips..I’ve been natural since 2004 and I love it!

[@SO01j20]

How do you dry your hair

[@Netty.Reloaded]

I literally just told myself that I was gonna stop using oils and gels And start using more water based moisturizers and creams😌 Came to youtube & that’s ur first tip☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@anachristina9543]

I just did the big chop 2 weeks ago and I love my curls. My natural hair stylist gave me treatment plan and no oils or butter. I though I needed oil, water is a great friend to our hair. I have a weekly treatment and I shampoo/condition once a week as well. I was so worried about going natural, but I am so happy with the results:)

[@keema125]

What is your weekly treatment and what is your midweek refresher

[@NiwaHenji]

A tip I would add would be to dust hair at least once a month by looking for and snipping off single strand knots ❤️

[@queenher]

What do you use for your “weekly hair treatments” ? I’m trying to get on a consistent regimen

[@rae7269]

your advice has really helped me so far. now I only use my wide tooth comb to detagle before my pre poo. Next, I rinse the pre poo then shampoo( not coming). Then I apply my leave in with my fingers and rinse. I need to know what do you do after? can i part and brush my hair so I can trim it? I need to use a tool in order to get the hair ready for trimming.

[@nursecoco3718]

Do you finger detangling before shampoo or during condish/deep conditioner? Do you do hot oil treatments?

[@lavinahughes3005]

Ok Alyssa tell us anout those new highlights girl!!!!

[@jasminserrano8611]

Hey hun, when you refresh in the middle of the week, are you washing it or just refreshing?

[@pokedog10]

Do you still use your curl refresher (water, castor oil, and conditioner?)

[@KiesofLife]

Portia Hill I wondered the same, especially since she said no oils.

[@rae7269]

so use shampoo once a week and conditioner twice?

[@sharongreaves2061]

Can you kindly do your current wash day and list your products please? My hair is like yours and I only cut my hair 25th Feb 2019 but only started wearing it from 5th March. So yeah I need help 🙈

[@hellokitty2552]

Have you already showed the channel how you moisturize your hair? Because I'm lost in my search.

[@Animj90]

Easy for her to say, her texture is definitely not 4c

[@mzzari21]

Is it type 4?

[@cammoammo6919]

she’s like 4a or 3c

[@BZ1610]

KZbin gurus and hair companies have had you all in a tizzy, frothing at the mouth and refusing to actually learn proper hair care because of some made up hair alphabet. The basics of haircare are shampoo, condition and style using either a gel for a wash and go style or a mousse for manipulation styles such as twists or braids. You go to any *licensed* stylist or curl specialist they'll tell you the same thing. You guys would rather drench your hair in oils and mix up any number of salads to choke your scalp instead of taking the information without playing victim. 4c isn't real. What matters in haircare that you'll do regularly at home is quality of product and your technique along with things like density and whether your strands are fine, normal or coarse. Follow the instructions on the bottles of products and wash your hair regularly. Stop putting food in your hair. Your stylist and your dermatologist hate ya'll for using clay on your scalps and in your hair. Oils, butters, leave-ins are all created to fleece you out of money. Black people have had enough struggles in life and so many are adamant on making lives harder for themselves over HAIR. 4C doesn't mean a thing.

I've been finger-detangling my hair for 25 years I hardly ever use a comb or a brush in my hair. I do have a plastic pic. I never see breakage or shredded hair more than a dime piece.

[@omyamarie]

I hate that I ever fell on any hair band wagons the main band wagons I regret using is the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, coconut oil “life” change and wash and gos my hair was breaking and felt dry. Then I found the love of SHEA BUTTER 😝 and olive oil, I just started using leave ins the first leave in I ever bought was the Alikay lemon grass it did the job but my first buy and staple is mane choice (cool laid) I bought some others to try from the mane choice as well. But a leave in and butter are my staples !!

[@kellsliving3220]

That’s how I want my hair too be but it not that puffy

[@Nicole-sg8ky]

When she says weekly treatment, is she talking protein, hot oil, what?

[@janiurlyndelacruz5687]

I wish i could do my hair twice a week but school doesn’t allow me to 🙌🏻

[@ireneattah8743]

Janiurlyn De LA Cruz you don’t need to love. Just keep it in a protective style and keep moisturizing it, I use water in a spray bottle morning and night. That simple ♥️

[@janiurlyndelacruz5687]
