Come on outfit changes and demonstrations. This was soooo good

[@ALove4Me]

Thank you so much!!!

My biggest problem to retaining moisture was buildup and not using a clarifying shampoo often enough. Wonderful video, great info.

[@Rubyred-rb2fe]

To make clarifying easier, I clarify my hair the first Sunday of every month.

[@natashyahendrix2]

Your lhair looks so good! You look great! You are one of my top Influencer's. A refresher course never hurt anyone. Thanks for what you do.

[@imac4082]

Agreed

[@Ash_9]

My biggest problem was using oils needlessly and then not truly clarifying my hair. It looks me a whole year of being intentionally natural to kick my oil habit and my curl pattern suddenly appeared when I did because my hair was getting truly cleaned and moisturised.

[@Leah_Tewari]

This is a really good video. We installed a water softener system that has an activated charcoal filter on our house when we bought it and it is truly amazing. When we lived in an apartment we had the shower head filter and it did help tremendously, but the softener is absolute bomb! ❤️

Another great video!! I love the spaghetti demo on moist versus dry hair strands.

As a cosmetic chemist I love all the accurate facts you listed below. The problem with curly texture is mainly the lack of serum (or body's natural moisturizer). It's very hard to coat the hair if it's curly or coily. This is controversial, but the ultimate way to keep you hair moisturized is to comb/brush your hair at least once a day. Only way to get that sebum oil from the scalp to the ends. I don't do this myself, ill just add. So the second best way is to add product that will act like sebum and follow the method she mentioned in the video. But like she said, you have to do it often...doesn't last forever like sebum do.

[@kayjay7865]

To coat sebum down ur strands u can use ur fingers. Check out green beauty there’s an entire video on how it works

[@sable7114]

You could try green Beauties method and preen to get the sebum from your scalp down to the ends of your hair. You should watch that video it's quite interesting. I personally can't find sebum on my scalp to do anything with it so I wonder if everyone produces it?

[@IndigooceanOrg]

@@sable7114 the older you are, the less you produce. In my 20s I could feel mine in the first 3 inches of my hair after a month of having braids in. Now, nada even at the scalp that's noticeable.

I haven’t been able to retain moisture - learning how to counter hard water effects may be a game changer for me - Thank you for the tips

[@toydogmom]

Great Job, yes, moisture is the key and weekly shampooing. Many people don't shampoo enough because alot of work goes into pampering their hair. This is truly a must inorder to have healthy hair.

[@ALove4Me]

Yep. Many people don't get the gospel of clean hair

[@connorsmith2665]

If moisture is water, why does my hair always dry out when I style on wet/damp hair? It’s so weird to me. I’ll literally let my hair completely air dry after washing, style my hair, and it feels sooooo moisturized and soft. But whenever I style my hair after I’ve washed it, the next day it’s always dry…as if I didn’t moisturize it at all🤔

[@connorsmith2665]

@Cactus Flower I always do🥺

[@kearstenw3855]

The hard water really got my attention! I never thought about the quality of the water in my apartment and specifically when I wash my hair. However when I looked up if my city has hard water, I found out it has very hard water. I live in Southfield Michigan and I never even thought of finding out what kind of water we have. My question is can I just buy a filter for my shower head? I don't need a whole filter system because I live in an apartment. And thanks for the awesome information!

[@ALove4Me]

Yes, they make shower filters. U can find them in the same places as the systems.

[@miaomiaou_]

!!!!! Lol I live in Southfield too lmao! Just minutes ago I was furiously googling to find out the water hardness and I came to the same conclusion as you! Luckily I already use a chelating shampoo (I use the living proof phd shampoo) every other week. Chelating shampoos will remove mineral deposits and pollution from your hair.

How often do you suggest clarifying the hair?

[@starmaxx4]

Thank you so much for this video 🥰💕..

[@JadeVVe]

Amazing video as always. And the lisp is gone ;) It's definitely hard water for me. I moved to a different city almost 10 years ago and during that time my sister came to visit and she asked me how did I manage here with the water. She said she'd never washed her hair here again 🤣...I was clueless. I look at old pictures and you could definitely see the dryness. I went back home for the holidays and I washed my hair at my parents house omg hair feeling soft and pliable after shampoo... I've never experienced that feeling before.

[@GhislaineG1980]

Thanks very much for this video very interesting. I live in Africa where the weather is hot and humid; ant this is what I learn from my natural hair journey:: Here, water evaporate very very quickly from the hair but also you can get some hydratation from the environnement. I would say that using occlusive then will result to wash every 2-3 days otherwise we loose hydratation; or if we don't want to wash every 2-3 days it becomes better to use only water based leave-in with humectants in daily basics to maintain hydratation. WHat do you think about this?

[@ALove4Me]

Glad you figured out what works for your hair

[@jennyrose9454]

I've always had naturally dry hair I will take any tips gladly. Also if you color or bleach( oh gosh lol) any ki d of curly hair its another level of dry.

[@ALove4Me]

Very true! Bleaching is the enemy of moisturizer hair

[@femarily9493]

Thank you! I realised today that water was my enemy. They put chlorine in the water where I live😢. I'll have to buy bottled water

These tips were excellent. Thank you. Just wanted to ask you though what SHOULD the ph balance of my water be pls? I have ph strips and want to test it. Also, I know I already have hard water, so I wanted to ask if boiling the water first and using that would make any difference. I look forward to your response.

Water should have a pH of 7.
