I STOPPED USING OILS AND BUTTERS IN MY 4C HAIR AND THIS HAPPENED!

If you want to SEE my hair and how it has changed/behaving differently, check out this videos I just uploaded: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5DFdZJsrMd2rZo

I watched this video as well, and I don't think your hair looks damaged at all. I'm gonna continue to follow this journey... Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@jazz19198]

I think this really depends on the individual. I know Ms. Jackson doesn’t like hearing that but I did the things she’s doing now my entire life and it never seemed to pass a certain length. Now that Ive been pre-pooing and deep condition my hair weekly it has grown and it’s healthier than it’s been since I was a child. I never had dandruff so that was never an issue for me. However breakage was a problem for me since I have thin and fragile hair. Pre-pooing helps with detangling in my experience so I don’t put as much tension on my hair which leads to less breakage. Deep conditioning softens my hair and makes it look shinier and bouncier. But that’s just me. Different hair does require different things. This might be the best thing for her hair but doesn’t mean that it’s what works best for everyone, in my opinion.

[@CrownedAndFitNFaith]

Same here…I also have fine hair so pre pooing has changed my regimen for the better. I am of the opinion you have to do what’s best for you.

[@reslastsong8292]

Although what you say may be true for you. Don't hate. Start your on following instead of using her video as a platform. Just saying!

[@CaribbyanDoll-xoxo]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 you mentioned some good points, especially for people with hair not as full and lucious as others. This information can cause some people more unneeded harm than intended. My natural hair needs all the moisture it can get, in order to flourish. When people make such videos there should be disclaimers and consideration for people whose natural hair is not in perfect shape. People come on these pages for ways to improve their hair and instead, they get misleading information like this. Unless you have full and naturally gorgeous and fast growing natural hair, consider skipping videos like these and moisturize( oil, butter, deep condition etc) your hair for optimal growth and health. 😉

[@CaribbyanDoll-xoxo]

@@reslastsong8292 I honestly don’t think it’s hate at all, but more of a genuine concern for people who don’t know any better. They might try this and end up damaging their hair. I’m pretty sure people follow natural hair pages to improve their hair health and not damage it.

[@nethaniapierre8149]

Wait, I have used to have bad flaking. I stopped putting oils 3 weeks ago and it got better BUT I still have flaking just not as much as before. What did you do to have your flaking completely gone? because I can't stand my flaking and itchiness.

I'm loving my no raw oils and butters journey with you(3 months in)! My dry flaky scalp is gone, my thin spots (thyroid meds)are filling in, my "low porosity hair" is now normal! It's easier to gage when it's time for a protein treatment! I can see coils in my "4c" texture. Products be producting, water be watering, shampoo actually has slip instead of feeling stripping. I've been using Pantene's repair line of shampoo and conditioner and I use Lotta body foam to style. . . No leave ins, no nothing! Been saving my oils and butters for my skin and it's smooth and glowing😁💪🏾❤

Me too. I never thought my 4c hair could look so good. I’m actually getting clumping and curling. And my z’s are super defined.

[@nadiamommy]

I totally agree about protective styles. Isn't the goal to enjoy and wear your beautiful, natural hair? Some people claim that they are protecting their hair, but the reality is that their hair is really used as a foundation for wigs, weaves, and braids. Protective hairstyles are literally addictive...you ALWAYS feel the need to have one, you don't feel attractive without added hair, and you may be willing to expend a crazy amount of money and time to maintain this "addiction" just so that you can feel good. I am not judging...I just know how I used to feel. Also...only wearing protective styles often results in never learning how to maintain and style your real hair..."braids are just easier". I never understood the point of protecting hair without the intention of wearing it out and/or wearing your hair out 20% of the time and in protective styles 80% of the time.

[@writegirl2937]

Hey Jenn! I really like your channel! I am shocked to see that "No oils/no butter" is a thing now. Here is my story....I was experiencing EXTREME scalp itching and pain for about 3 years and following many KZbinrs who suggested oils (I did not use any butters), I piled on the oils and made a bad situation even worse. My dermatologist prescribed a shampoo to help elevate the intense itching and horrible scalp pain. The Rx shampoo gave me only mild relief even though I used it for over two years. As time went on, I started focusing on physical therapy for chronic back pain and forgot all about using oils on my hair. It was only about a month ago that it occurred to me that the scalp pain and itching was GONE! I immediately realized that it was because I had stopped using all of those oils. So, by default, I learned that oils ( especially when I was doing a concoction of several "natural oils"), was what was causing me problems. Thanks for sharing your insights on natural hair care.🧡🙂

Went to a natural hair salon and FINALLY someone spoke my language “no oils or butters” . And it is just that simple. When you showed your products, I used most of your similar products. And YES high humility areas is everything. I spent 2 weeks in Guyana and I could not even find a knot! Yay for you🙌🏾

[@caitlinsawyer6672]

I'm always pleased with your honesty. I love that you say using (or not using) oils and butters is not the crucial factor of what is (or is not) growing your hair. I kind of used this method for a few weeks, or at least called myself doing it. When in reality I was just neglecting my hair and still not giving it the moisture it needed from water. So whatever your preferred method like you said it comes down to good habits outshining the bad ones. I am going to look back at your other videos and other content about the no oils and butters method. I have always been a minimalist when it comes to how many products I use on my hair, both for financial and just ease reasons.

[@JennJackson]

Exactly. Products comes seconds. If one has bad habits... then nothing can help them lol x

You made so much sense in this video. i'm all for science and this is why i accepted this method easily because it makes sense. the truth is that its not just a trend, it is a reliable hair care method.

I think everyone is saying the same thing but differently. Water is a moisture and any product of preference (grease, oil, cream, butter style cream etc..) is a sealant of the water/moisture of some sort. Preferences of sealant, how much you use, when you use it etc… will vary. This variation of moisture sealant preference will vary person to person based off their personal ideas of how they want their hair to be.

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

yes well said

[@haitiangirl94]

That’s actually not consistent with the teachings of See Some Curls tho. They teach that moisture can’t be sealed, and the styling products that we use should be water soluble (to help avoid product build up) and make sense for the desired style (gel for defined wash n go’s and foam for twist/braid outs). And the only way to get moisture to your hair is thru shampooing and conditioning your hair

I’ve realized that with natural hair you have to know what works for you. For me, moisture is my friend and this includes: washing, deep conditioners, leave ins and moisturizers, which includes butters and oils. I make my own oils and I use it specifically for my scalp and I moisturize with butters. My hair has been flourishing this way. We cannot just blindly follow what somewhat else does. Something may work for someone else, but it may not necessarily work for you. This might be a good practice for someone with a busy schedule but this specific regimen won’t be good for my hair.

@@nicoleraheem1195 Grease is essentially oils, only it's in solid form, so yeah, I dropped grease too. I was only using gel and/or foam for this. Now that I've started using products with oils in it again, my hair has improved. Only thing I took from this challenge was not to use pure, raw oils, I use oils when they're formulated into the ingredients in the product. I still use foam as well.

[@ernestinejohnson9022]

It's not oil that gives you dandruff or flakes. It's according to each individual scalp tolerance to products. My daughter have very long natural hair so do I. She doesn't use oil nor any products on her hair. Yet she has dandruff. I, on the other hand do not have dandruff nor flakes. And I uses oils at least every 3 weeks or so and after wash days. Sometimes I mixes the oil with water and sprayed my hair and scalp. So people go with your sensitivity, not what's best for someone else's scalp.

[@JennJackson]

Thanks for sharing

[@idoggonecute]

I started no oil/butters August. I also noticed my hair is feels lighter so I'm thinking that's what your feeling when you say thinner. I feel it more when I'm washing. I'm not sure if I like that feeling but I'm going to keep up with it.

Love this video Jenn

[@shari-leedavis1576]

Here in the Caribbean, I wouldn’t say we’re winning lol the humidity can have me looking crazyyyy sometimes

[@JennJackson]

"Crazy" but your hair will never again see dryness. I'll trade you 😅

[@dreampossible2]

Great Video 💪 even though I love my butter and oils!! I'm happy it worked for you but these fine strands just couldn't 😊

[@w9906]

When you first tried this method, did you find yourself washing your hair more often until your hair was conditioned to be in this routine? Do the quality of products matter?

[@JennJackson]

I was told to wash more often and really one should listen to their hair and scalp. Once it is dry, wash and condition again. I personally didn’t wash more often because I am busy and don’t have time to wash mid week so I just keep a weekly schedule. As for the products, yes they matter, particularly when it comes to stylers. Botanical gels with humectants are KEY to keeping your hair moisturized for as long as possible.

[@libfuzzy4629]

The thing is hair products already have oils in them we don't need to add extra lol 💯

[@starmaxx4]

🥰💙.. thank you for this update…btw luv how your looks when you style it 🥰

Wow so is that why when ppl do a Max Hydration method which includes stripping the hair and cleansing it intensely makes the hair look so good and the curls clump

[@LifeFilmz]

max hydration is damaging to the hair, you're putting baking soda on your hair and soaking it in water way too often. daily washing plus the damaging effects baking soda has on the cuticle can lead to mushy gummy hair known as hygral fatigue and a lot of people that have tried that method had complained of their hair getting hygral fatigue. "no oils and butters" is not the same as "max hydration method" at all because all you are doing with the "no oils no butters" is using a shampoo, a conditioner and a styler once every week. thats it, really simple. curls clumping is based on technique not product or stripping hair, you can learn styling techniques from iamblackgirlcurls online course "see some curls" which is what jenn used.

[@LimitedReachEnt]

@@LifeFilmz No what Im specifically referring to Is the steps In the Max hydration method that include stripping and cleansing the hair. The routine of the Max hydration method that I watched (Does not include the Cherry lola treatment aka Baking soda) they used a clarifying shampoo, clay mask and then conditioner.. which now made me wonder If the reason the hair actually looked good, not weighed down, and more defined was because we stripped all of those heavy oils and butters out. I did the Max Hydration method with the steps above once, and my curls clumped back up(more defined, after washing no product) & I noticed the difference she described. Just an observation of what I personally saw on my hair & the connection Im making to removing those heavy oils and butters

[@LifeFilmz]

@@LimitedReachEnt ahh okay then yes I agree because it allowed more water into the hair but where they went wrong was saying it had to be done daily which would’ve been too much water, especially because people weren’t using a hooded dryer after styling so hair was just staying wet 24/7 365 and the clay wash was an unnecessary step as well. They probably could’ve just shampooed their hair twice and saved money and time on the clay step.

[@tmcurly]

Max hydration damaged my hair years ago. Its different you are using baking soda which wrecked my hair

[@altasoyster]

My hair feels thinner, too. Like, it’s still dense, still have a lot of hair, but it feels thinner and lighter. I think you’re right that’s it’s all the product that used to be coating the strands. My hair also feels lighter.

[@tmcurly]

You are missing protein. I added a DC and olaplex my hair is very full

[@altasoyster]

@@tmcurly My hair’s still full. I guess lightweight was the better word. Since my strands aren’t as coated with oil and piles of product, makes sense that my strands would feel different.

[@loveliveshere.]

Hey Jenn can you show how you do a twist out with this method?

[@shirleyking8031]

Jen did a video recently doing a twist out. Check it out.

[@nethaniapierre8149]

I used to have problems with flaking, my mom always used to put lwil maskriti in my hair. I recently stopped 3 weeks ago and the flaking is not as bad. It's still there just not as much. But I want to completely eradicate it. (And I use a light leave in)

[@UnraveledwithJoy]

I’m afraid to try this but I think I will

[@zealdacameron1982]

Amazing Conversation!🌸🥰

[@kathleenadeshoga8415]

Great video Jenn! :D

[@JennJackson]

Thank you!! 😁

[@h0neymourn207]

Do products that contain oils and butters count or did you only exclude the use of raw oils and butters?

[@LifeFilmz]

its just raw oils and butters and preferably the oils and butters that are in the products are lower on the ingredients list (not in the first 5 ingredients)

[@Chromagens]

Re the thinner feel. I think I've felt this but came to it the opposite way? I'm not sure if it's because is started paying greater attention to how my hair behaves but I feel the coating of product much much more than before making it feel like the product made the strand thicker.

[@glw5166]

Great video. May I ask what the title is of the artwork behind you? Beautiful piece.

[@marquita1636]

Can we get a head wrap tutorial ❤️

[@JennJackson]

Ouu great idea!

[@libabygurl8879]

Just wanted to say hello and your skin looks amazing Merry Christmas

[@brianaa7573]

I’ve been doing wash n gos for the past 6 years. Did another big chop 4 years ago and my hair is back to bra strap length. I sometimes use my deep conditioner as a leave in under my gel. I only use oil for a scalp massage if I really want to.

[@rose.h3220]

I totally agree with all that you have said, except for the color because I don't have that. However, do you notice that the shrinkage is more now than before you started? The more moisturized my hair is the more shrinkage I tend to have. That is the "maybe it's just a me" thing 🙂

[@Brownmahfun]

You look sooo cayuute with your makeup and lil head wrap.

[@BeautyIn4C]

I don't oil my scalp unless am doing a hot oil treatment or prepoo and my scalp has appreciated it. My routine and products has remained the same though..will this be your routine henceforth?

[@childofgodforever6614]

I I haven't used oils and butters in 6 years. I got tired of having oily, dry hair and I felt they did not add benefits to my regime. I have always had flakes on my scalp, which my Dermatologist feels is from eczema (caused by some of the oils and ingredients in hair products). Gels and foams that the wash and go women recommend made my eczema worse. My whole wash day routine has always been 60 to 90 min twice a week. DC is a must. I can't imagine what one does for 5 hours to care for their hair.

[@JennJackson]

What is you routine like now? Does it help with the eczema? I am sure your response will help others

[@animatedmoi]

Nice informative vid! Thnx Jen :)
