15 Natural Hair Myths

[@BklynBabe]

#1 Hair truth Do what works for your hair and don't listen to everyone else. Try to learn your own hair.

[@KaylynIvy]

yesss! trial and error with your own hair is seriously the best way to learn what your hair likes and dislikes! do your own thing and dont be afraid to fail a couple times

[@ashleytrinell9379]

Couldn't agree more!

Facts 👊🏾

[@ChideraStephen]

BklynBabe facts

[@itskaylah4733]

Drinking lots of water saves half the problem... & Eating the right food. A lot of people be saying use this product and this and this and this.. Truth is it don't matter. As long as you massage your scalp and stretch your hair... you will see growth...but to maintain your length you sure have to keep your ends mosturised. Best when you include hair vitamins too. I've been a product junkie for years I've spent over thousands of dollars, Either way my hair still grew whether it smelt like The Pacific ocean, paradise, coconuts and melons "It still grew" with or without sillicones. with or without dimethicone etc (you get the drift) Just let your hair be and exercise. Less touching more adventure Xx & Nice Video 🌺

[@simoneoliver7379]

Exactly, I’m 15 and my hair is the same length as kaylyn and I eat about 4 packets of crisps a day and only drink water at school.

[@ChideraStephen]

Its Kaylah you spoke facts

[@Hizwife]

This was an excellent video, my favorite myth was the miosturizing your hair everyday, if that's not the most rediculous thing I've ever heard of. You would think a person would realize that if they have to re miosturize everyday, then something should click to let them know that they're moisturizer is obviously NOT doing its job and their hair ISN'T retaining moisture. That's also just way too much manipulation on the strands. Thank you so much for this, it was awesome. 😘

[@KaylynIvy]

thank you!! i feel like all these myths floating around are really preventing people from getting healthy hair because they dont even realize that a lot of the stuff their doing isnt even benefitting and are signs of unhealthy hair... if i had to moisturize my hair every single day i'd be mad lmao thanks for watching Jamie!

[@whyyoureadinmyname5145]

If u have 4c hair true 4c hair u would understand. Our hair dries super fast. Even with water as my moisturizer. The only way I can perserve the moisture is to twist it up

[@ejakaegypt]

Yelly Yellez I have 4c hair, after I moisturize, I use a thin layer of grease and my hair will be moisturized for days

[@livismith5007]

Yelly Yellez I see you everywhere!😂 lol I don't know why you assume all "True" 4c hair is like yours. Everybody's hair is different. Everyone does different things to their hair as well. Please know that no one's hair isn't "true" 4c hair if it doesn't behave like yours. I hope this didn't come off as rude, plz don't be mad

[@theamethyst93]

Jamie Braxton when i used to moisturize Every day i got split ends faster and had to get more frequent trims

[@dareesehinds9587]

Kaylyn thank you for busting the myth that natural hair is time consuming. I have spent at least 6 hours in a salon getting my relaxed hair done. And as far as being expensive, it is only as expensive as you want it to be.

[@KaylynIvy]

EXACTLY !

[@RAR3ST0N3]

It takes me the same amount of time to do my hair as it did when I was relaxed.

[@nopenope3206]

Dareese Hinds my experience has been different. Natural hair for me is very time consuming anytime I do anything to my hair. Yes, I have spent hours in a hair salon, but managing my hair at home was easy. I could easily comb through my hair, put in pony tail, hot curl or any basic style with ease. But a basic hair style with my natural hair is so much time consuming and requires so much more attention.

[@clairedaniels1877]

NICHOLE EDWARDS Have you watched her deep conditioning videos? Maybe you should try it. It may make your hair more manageable.

[@patricejones334]

Thanks cause my 4c hair is popping and not dry at all long as I keep it moist and I don't have to moisturize everyday either.

[@serious7179]

Girl, ain't that the truth? My 4C hair is juicy and shiny and people are always asking what I do to make it that way... I take care of it LOL!

[@mrs_Q24]

Love this video because your being honest. Thanks for putting this out there. Natural hair is not that serious and can be very simple if people would stop following every trend the see. Great video

[@KaylynIvy]

thanks for watchinggg!! and yes natural hair is not as complicated as people try to make it out to be lol

[@ChideraStephen]

Lmao My hair gets dried easily

[@serious7179]

@@ChideraStephen my hair used to get dry at the drop of a hat. However, when I started deep conditioning every week and used a moisturizer with glycerin, this solved the problem ... I still lightly spray my hair with water everyday, but I only have to reapply moisturizer once during the week

[@adegirly]

"can be very simple if people would stop following every trend the see." u r right sis!

[@shanellewarner6873]

I swear this women has some of the best advice on natural hair . Like she need to open a natural hair salon cause she seem to have better advice then these natural experts .

[@ChideraStephen]

Shanelle Warner Lol

[@taradise8]

Yes, yes, yes! I've never worn a "protective style". My hair retains length through proper care & knowing what products provide the best treatment for my specific hair type. I buy my products in bulk when they're on sale, so natural hair is very affordable for me. And thank you for mentioning the fact that there is no way to grow your hair *fast* & that those who make this claim have been growing their hair for years. I cringe when I see that in video titles. Genetics can also play a part. And I think hair typing can be a way of relating to someone with a similar texture so you can get tips that may help you as well. Good video.

[@KaylynIvy]

thank you so muchhh!! and i definitely agree. i never do protective styles either. i just think wearing your hair out and being able to moisturize it and throw it back into a bun is probably the best and safest way to retain length and keep your hair healthy! no excessive pulling or tugging. and yes i completely agree that hair typing can be a way of relating to someone

[@Terraaay]

Taradise mines too

[@fioreirving]

#15 I've been saying that for years. Hair typing helped me figure out how to style and detangle without breaking my hair. I kept breaking my hair off for about 5 years until I learned to check videos from girls who have 4c hair. Checking porosity helped but not nearly as much as hair typing did

[@Terraaay]

artsy_fifi true 👏🏾

[@NayLashay]

So were just going to ignore the fact that you look like Joseline Hernandez lol. Great Video hun these myths are ridiculous!

[@KinkyKoilyKayla]

@16:20 I have 3b/3c hair but for some reason found myself following mostly type 4 curlies in the beginning of my journey, so I looked around and found some type 3 curlies to follow. What I've learned is that curls are SO different! You have 4c folks who stretch their curls and type 3a folks who need to "train" their curls through finger coiling to get it to curl better! Wha?? I end up taking little tidbits of hair info that would also work for my curls from each person. It's been a blessing watching all the different types of curlies on KZbin because I've learned how different my curls are, and what works/doesn't. You are SO right about finding hair similar to yours on KZbin. I see comments in videos of people who are clearly not in the right place! Find videos with yo hair y'all! It pays off! Great video girl!!! Thank you for helping educate us all!

[@HairByPierre]

Also those ppl who do those long hair techniques their hair isn't longer. There's so many ways to "fake" that you got that inch overnight. But if you watch them long term their hair is the same smh

[@KaylynIvy]

exactlyyyy the fact that those videos even get views is baffling...why even deceive ppl like that!

[@nikkifav4639]

Since I stopped using silicones, my hair feels better than ever. It's softer and stays soft for longer and my scalp is less irritated and greasy. I'm hesitant to straighten my hair without them though. I liked all the other debunked myths in this video.

[@SierralovvMakeup]

Nikki Rameau me too the silicones weighed my hair down but it did look good on a press or flatiron but for the natural state it's no good.

[@sho_wil236]

I’m here because of Pt.2....🤗🤗🤗

[@123Selorm]

Your hair is gonna grow PERIOD!! Loving yr channel

[@breathe711]

You are FIRST REAL hair youtuber I have ever heard that speaks the truth. Omg..... I'm so glad u addressed all these topics I agree 1000% especially about Silicon and heat. I promote the use of silicon on black hair. I've been using it for years. Hair is waist length. But anyway. Great video.

[@angellekrobinson1499]

I used to use warm water when I washed my hair it was growing just fine ,then I switched to cold but when you broke it down for me it made since I'm DEF going back to warm water . 👌👌

[@anishaarmstrong6896]

Speaking the truth! Loved this video! Not many people will tell you this about natural hair. I'm still deep conditioning with heat, but I need to be more patient with it. I want to see results fast.😂 Love your hair love! It's so healthy!💞

[@KaylynIvy]

thank you Anisha!! be patient dont even think about your hair lol just be consist with your wash routine every week and your hair will DEF grow super long and get healthier! lucky for you you're taking care of your hair early! i didnt start til i was 21! give yourself two years and you'll be drapin on all the girls in your class!

[@ZaneEtee]

Thank you for that heat thing! I have low porosity hair and I know heat is my friend!!

[@Deklectic]

My hair loves wash n gos. I don't have patience for the protective styling and the twisting as long as my hair is thoroughly detangled once a week or so I'm good and i just refresh it with some water and shake. Do what works for you none of us have the same exact hair regimen its unique to us like our fingerprints. Moisture is key don't be afraid of water our hair loves it!! Some naturals prefer oils and some prefer humectants I love humectants because oils block moisture from getting in for my hair.

[@highclass1421]

I love this video!! I’m 5 mths in transitioning and this was so informative in my journey.. thank you for keeping it so real

[@christshandmaiden]

I like this video :) you're raw! God bless love. I definitely made the mistake of rinsing with cold water before I added my leave ins and stuff! 😤

Your hair grew so much. Love it.

Thanks for the tips, I used to not deep condition and now that I do I see a major difference!

[@ahniyahclay4460]

Your my new fav youtuber just for this video. Thank you for showing how all these natural hair "rules" really don't matter

[@seantrajones3975]

I just subscribed!!! I love that you somebody FINALLY said hair type DOES matter!! I follow youtubers of all different types but it does definitely help when I find a person with 3c/4a low porosity hair! So glad to hear someone be completely honest!!

[@KaylynIvy]

Thank you Seantra !! :)

[@seantrajones3975]

KAYLYN IVY yw! Keep up the good work!!!

[@JoyDejaKing]

I agree. I'm confused where the stigma came from. There is nothing wrong with hair typing if done correctly. I do believe a lot of viewers get confused because YT's can drench their hair with product and then say I have this curl pattern or show their hair wet and claim a curl pattern. My hair is wavy when wet but I don't have wavy hair. When it dries it's curly. YT's should show their hair in it's true natural state so viewers can make a better assement when trying to figure out their curl pattern because it does matter.

[@armfrosting]

Girl, you just got another subbie. Speak nothing but the truth sis!!! So tired of all these myth.

[@chantrellwilliams6374]

you're awesome. my fave part about you is your attitude. it's just like mine! sassy!

[@Eveningbreeze721]

Hairveda Moist 24-7 is a great conditioner that can be used as a regular one and deep. Mix 3 parts with 1 part of their masque and its even better. Sometimes the masque alone can be too oily (and cost more)

[@KathleenAllison22]

I love ALL your videos!! A few quick questions...which deep conditioners do you like best right now? Also, do you use a high or low heat setting when you are deep conditioning? I'm in the process of growing out my 4C TWA and I want to start using a hooded dryer. Very excited about the growth process. :-)

[@KaylynIvy]

thank you so much for watching!! :) and i've tried a couple new ones that i really havent been too fond of. i still honestly favor all of the ones i mentioned in my favorites videos. shea moisture manuka honey, shea moisture 10 in 1 renewal system, joico intense hydrator and macadamia deep repair masque. and i use a high setting when i deep condition. my hooded dryer doesn't get that hot to where high is uncomfortable or burns but their are some that do. like my sisters bonnet dryer from the same brand gets SUPER hot so i use hers on medium heat. and i hope you see lots of growth in you growth process, Kathleen! consistency is KEY!

[@missjerrianlawrimore2262]

"Love the way u tell it like it is"💯

[@earthangel6858]

You made some very good points.

[@darylomoruyi11]

Go head Rihanna , tell the truth ! Just joking I know you're Jaylyn ,I think you're well informed and I new to the natural hair community. Did a big chop a month ago ascertained that I also have traction Alop and bald spots working hard on my hair and scalp can't wait until it grows back . Thx for you efforts and time I can see you take the journey very seriously.

[@KaylynIvy]

lmao thank you for watching and for your support :) !! and im sorry about the setback in your hair journey but im sure you'll have a major comeback soon ! just stay consistent with your hair routine and keep your scalp moisturized and not dry and im sure you'll see so major improvement in no time, Daryl!

[@TC-gx3qn]

"If your hair is dry as tumbleweeds" 😂😆 And thank you for saying that about 4C hair. It can look just as beautiful as other hair types. Bubs Bee has 4C hair and her twistouts and hair are moisturized and gorgeous!!

[@zahriarhyne5967]

The main difference btw regular conditioner and deep conditioner is that deep conditioners tend to have oils that mimic our natural sebum oil as 1-3 different type of butters along with other natural products that helps condition your hair deeply. That is, products like marshmallow roots and other herbal ingredients that have a lot of health benefit for hair.

[@SierralovvMakeup]

Ajoeanna Brown I agree

[@williamsj4852]

100 % on point. Totally agree! ✊🖤

[@lisasims3970]

OMG thats right...I just learned that when my hair was shrinking in my twist out throughout the week, it was bc my hair was hella dry....

[@hoosieraussis1]

Mine shrinks throughout the week because of repeat exposure to moisture (showering, sweating, working out) causes the hair to continue to attempt to reach its naturally shrunken state relative to the day 1 twist-out which is stretched hair. I use the LCO method (plus a soft hold gel for styling) and my hair stays soft and moisturized all week long, just more shrunken.

[@veronsacustard6195]

Hey Kaylin! What are your thoughts on the eco styler black castor oil and flaxseed gel? Have you ever tried it? Will you? We have pretty much the same hair so I'm curious what you think. Thanks for all the videos, they help so much!

[@KaylynIvy]

Thank You!! :) and no i've never tried the black castor oil one but i want to sooo bad! i never see it in ANY stores i go to. but if i get my hands on it ill definitely do a first impressions review on it. ill try harder to find the product!

[@missy4335]

Heat is very bad but you explained that correct 'Direct heat is the devil'' I haven't used a flat iron for a 13 years now!

[@sitaramichell2325]

Omg thank you so much for this information....I been using regular conditiiner to deep condition and it's not helping! I'm. Going to go buy a deep conditioner now

I Gave Silicones A Try And My Hair Was DRYYYYYYYY And My Scalp Looked Flakey And A Mess Like I've Never Seen Before, Maybe It Depends On The Hair

[@KaylynIvy]

wow thats crazy lol but as we all know everyones hair is def different. like i HATE argon oil. and any product i use that has a drop of argon oil in it dries the hell out of my hair like shampoo! but i always see people on youtube using that oil and im like noooo lol but yea silicones are def one of those hate it or love it type of products...i just hate when ppl try to say no one at all should use it

[@thebudgetholic]

KAYLYN IVY I think that some people say that silicones are bad because they are referring to them as being toxic. I’m not sure which ones exactly but some silicones when heated to a certain temperature release traces of formaldehyde... My sister is a 5 year breast cancer survivor and her oncologist told her to stop using deodorant with aluminum silicones in beauty products and to cut soy completely out of her diet to name a few so now we all shop for more natural clean hair products and make our own deodorant and no soy... But everyone cannot live life n fear if it works for some and not others then that’s what works... Keep doing what u doing cuz your hair is goals! Glad that I found your channel!

[@jennifern9188]

what do you think about prepooing

[@RealRaeNichole]

I will be 2 years natural this November. Im noticing that the back of my hair is not growing as fast as the rest of my hair. I started off doing sew ins and now i have switched to wigs so i can care for my hair on a daily and weekly basis. other than the satin pillow cases what could i be doing that won't let my hair grow? The back is stuck at the nape of my neck.

[@SierralovvMakeup]

RaeAnna Speights be sure to use Jamaican black castor oil as I do. My back was very short and I tended to pick with it. The wigs are definitely going to help just make sure you wear a head cap under the wig with all your hair in it.

[@KaylynIvy]

the back might be your more sensitive area (mine is my crown). the breakage could be due to that area just being drier than the other areas or because it might not be as strong so when you braided it up for sew ins it broke more easily. I'd say just show that area EXTRA love. when you apply products and deep conditioners make sure you apply extra to that area and be more gentle with the area when you deal with it (thats how i stopped breakage at my crown was just by giving it extra moisture than the other areas). try not to braid it up if you can. just keep it moisturized and never let it dry out.

[@hashelliott3804]

Good video! I am simple when it comes to styling my hair. I do not like all the extra stuff on a regular. I will say that when my hair was relaxed I would put in back into a bun within 5 mins, no problem. Now, it takes too long to manipulate and then once it is in a bun it hurts my head, because I am no longer use to it. So, I end up going with another style or putting on a wig. Time consuming...yes it has been for me. I 'd rather do wash and go's and just use butterfly clips when I want it up but my hair is on some other level right now because I have not learned how to deal with my hair types yet. #trying #notgivingup

[@KaylynIvy]

im pretty simple when it comes to styling too lol buns used to take me FOREVER but now that ive been natural for a while and i wear my natural hair everyday i can throw my hair in a sleek bun in like 5 mins but it used to take me like 30. but it's definitely a workout putting my hair in a bun. definitely not as easy when my hair was straight lol but just keep trying and stay at it! practice makes perfect! dont give up! :)

[@MegaSeriouz]

I have thick naturally curly hair and just combing/brushing and putting it into a ponytail makes my arms hurt, I have to let my arms rest for a couple of minutes before I continue lol.

[@TriniGirlNatural]

Hair typing doesn't matter. No two people have the same type of hair period. It's just a bunch of myths and stereotypes

[@KaylynIvy]

yes in that sense, but i think its still better to build your regimen off of someone who's hair type is closer to yours than it is someone who has completely different hair than you. that doesn't mean you do every single thing that person does but it's a good place to start at and tweak your own regimen

[@BklynBabe]

KAYLYN IVY I believe hair typing is helpful, but I think the Walker chart is an absolute fail. Knowing porosity, density, strand thickness, texture, those are much more important. When a person tells me they are 4 c, that literally tells me nothing about their hair, when they say they have thick hair with coarse strands, low porosity, wiry texture, and coils, that is a much better description for me.

[@KaylynIvy]

yes i completely agree 100% ... when i said "hair type" i was actually more so referring to what you said rather than just curl pattern. because that chart is definitely completely off and people could have the same curl pattern but still have completely different hair. when i say "hair like yours" i really just mean in more aspects than just curl pattern lol

[@KaylynIvy]

i actually wish i worded that in the video the way you just did because that was perfect!
