I don't have any essential oil for my hair, can I use VCO or virgin coconut oil instead?

Curls are beautiful labies! 💟

[@Andreagraham876]

I love how detailed your vids are you answer at first just about the questions I have. However I know probably said it in another vid but where can I get the detangling comb/brush you use? 😬🤷🏽‍♀️🥰

[@LotusFlowerLife]

The link for the brush I used is in the description box ❤️

[@Andreagraham876]

@@LotusFlowerLife thank you 🙏🏽

[@shannellee39]

I just purchased all the products! I’m excited to make and try them. I currently make and am using the flax gel and I loooooove it so much more than eco style. Definitely making the hair serum because my fine hair tangles so easily I never wear wash and go’s because of it. Thank you so much for this ❤️

[@LotusFlowerLife]

I'm so happy to help my love 💞, your curls will thank you!

[@shannellee39]

Update! Hair serum and the Ambunnu leaves for shampoo are the BOMB!! Thank you thank you 💗💗

[@LotusFlowerLife]

@@shannellee39 Glad to hear it my love, you're welcome!

[@adriannarodriguez-rafeequl3417]

Do you damp or spray your hair with water before you put the coconut milk?? 🤔🤔🤔 Also, do you warm up the coconut milk?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Nope, I just go straight in with coconut milk and it is room temp 💜.

[@nicolelindsay8690]

Found your page and loving the lighter natural approach. I've started using DIYS and Ayurveda but have noticed my scalp is getting very oily and my wash days aren't lasting as long as they could. Do you do oil pre poos very often? My hair is on the finer side so really looking forward to having a go at your recipes. thanks very much for sharing

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Thank you and yes, I massage my scalp with oil before every wash routine. An important factor is that when I feel there is too much build up I switch to using my clarifying shampoo: go.magik.ly/ml/1q1zk/ once I use it my hair and scalp are clean and balanced until the next wash day. Since your hair is fine, maintaining a regular clarifying routine is key.

[@nicolelindsay8690]

@@LotusFlowerLife thankyou! I never used to clarify this much before hand (once every 3-4 weeks). But I do find myself clarifying every 2 weeks now .... I wonder if I need a lighter oil. Will have an experiment with grapeseed oil that you've recommended in another vid. Thankyou!

[@adayaz4489]

Thanks so much for sharing! I tried this routine a few days ago and now my hair has a really unpleasant smell. Do you have any idea what could've caused this smell and how to get rid of it?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

If it smells strange it could be because either the products weren't fresh or you didn't let your hair dry fully before going to sleep. After your hair fully dries it shouldn't smell like anything.

[@adayaz4489]

@@LotusFlowerLife Hm, strange. It started smelling especially bad when I was diffusing it.

[@alkajoseph]

Wow !! I just stumbled here .. loved the video , immediately made everything as per your videos .. loved everything about it but just one problem.. the falxseed gel left a white cast all over my hair .. looked so horrible that I had to was my hair the very same day .. could you please suggest what went wrong

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Make sure you put enough leave in conditioner before applying flaxseed gel. I explain everything to avoid flaking in this video bit.ly/3EbLzzO

[@alkajoseph]

@@LotusFlowerLife Thank you .. am new to your channel .. loving your videos and thanks for replying

[@aliyazab]

Thank you for sharing this! I am just having difficulty finding the 2nd brown wrap that you use, as it's not in the description box.

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Hi love, you're welcome! I got that specific head scarf years ago at a random beauty supply and haven't been able to find it anywhere online 😑.

[@emilytoscano721]

I have low porosity hair and psoriasis scalp. Can i use ambunu shampoo?

[@Leah_Tewari]

I also wanted to ask you where you got the brown scarf that you tied over your silk scarf? I have been looking for something like this for a long time! Thank you!

[@LotusFlowerLife]

I got the brown one YEARS ago at some random beauty supply store. I've been looking to find a replacement & can't find one so far 🤦🏽‍♀️. Maybe you'll have some luck finding one at your local beauty supply store 💕. Let me know if you do!

[@Leah_Tewari]

@@LotusFlowerLife thank you so much for responding! I will definitely look! 🙏🏽❤️

[@rennysiddi3895]

Where I can get all the curl hair products?

[@aaliyahraghnal]

What bottle did you use for the flaxseed gel? It looks cute!

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Right?! I absolutely love using that bottle for my gel. No matter how thick it is, the gel comes out really easily. I got it off of amazon ➡ amzn.to/3nbd5bX

[@aaliyahraghnal]

@@LotusFlowerLife Thank you! Also (and you probably already know) your curls are absolutely stunning!

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Thank you beauty! I appreciate your kind words 🤗💜

[@emilytoscano721]

Help: where can i buy the ambunu leaves ?

[@ohh28]

what's your hair porosity? cause I have low porosity I believe and idk if this would work for me tbh idek if it is low porosity cause it takes forever to be wet (I've gotten to a point where I've given up waiting for my hair to be fully wet💀) but it dries super quickly

[@LotusFlowerLife]

I have mainly low porosity hair, hope this helps.

[@twhyt]

Do you use one can for the detangler and separate another can for the deep conditioner?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

I used this DIY as my deep conditioner bit.ly/CurlCreamHairMask

[@Bunni6006]

12:26 what that brownish hair bag thingy is called? really want to try it

[@LotusFlowerLife]

It's a satin bonnet I got years ago at a random beauty supply, I've been trying to find a new one for years without success cuz the one I have is kinda old 😅😬

[@minnitreez333]

Do you know any protective hair styles for shorter curly hair

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Girl I keep it simple with messy curly buns and das about it 😬. I shared 3 bun styles in this video that I like to do often kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGTdgoKCaqeaq7sfeature=shared

[@Snowlily01]

Isn’t the plastic going to leach chemicals onto your hair with the hot cap?

[@mashdemdown]

I usually oil my hair the night before I wash. is this recommended?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Yes, hair oiling is a fantastic way to prep your hair for wash day 💕

[@Tiffg22]

Honay - 1. Obsessed with this length on you and 2. 9 days old hair that looks like that 😍😭 - goalssss where Dey do dat at ??

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Thank you so much honay! I think it's the perfect length for me too 😊. I wanna keep it at this length, it feels so much better than super long hair!

[@twhyt]

Do you dry finger detangle prior to the coconut milk?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Nope, I don't. My detangling process starts after applying the coconut milk like I demonstrated in the video.

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

5:19 You are really beautiful and you are pretty perfect too

[@natashakendall9586]

I am a 25 yr old curly transwoman and you given me such a headstart with this video!! Since beggining my transition a couple months ago I have struggled to get my curls to grow due to mechanical issues. Here I was thinking I didn't pass cuz my curl game was weak af but it is so relieving to see all the other curly girls struggle with me. Thanks for sharing your routine and some tips throughout your journey boo 💕💕💕

[@tylerwisby]

How long can the ambunu shampoo sit out? Is it only good for a certain amount of time before you have to make more?

[@LotusFlowerLife]

Once made, it's best to use it right away at room temp. Refrigerated, it can last for about 7 days but to play it safe I make it fresh and freeze what I don't need to use.

[@tylerwisby]

@@LotusFlowerLife ok thank you got it ☺️ the ambunu shampoo is amazing you put us on to some amazing shampoo girl thank you for telling us about it 🥰
