MY HAIR SAID NO SIS 😩( Things I did To My Type 4 hair I Will Not be doing no more)

[@Iamcrookedrib]

I agree. I’ve started deep conditioning and using leave ins over the last month and have seen tremendous improvements. I also cowash in between washes now. Additionally, I started using the Chebe powder that I purchased when I was in West Africa and it definitely helps with moisture. I’m doing mostly twist outs now. I like WNG’s but my hair does better with twists and twists outs. Oh and my scalp enjoys certain oils and I use K18 oil now on my strands. I’m also done with permanent hair color. My hair has transformed tremendously in this last month that I switched my program up. I’m going to remain positive and keep speaking love/life/prosperity into all aspects of my life. Thank you for sharing your journey :)

[@rosieamelia5955]

Yes you have implemented some goodies in my routine. You got this 🙌🏾. I am so happy to see my curl friends taking charge of their head of hair. I wish you the best in your hair journey ❤️

[@farmerz97]

👍🏾💯 💯. I realized the 30 detox is a reset. I don't think it's good for your hair beyond the 30 days. The styles on the models usually have hair to their ears or shoulders.

[@rosieamelia5955]

Agreed and should only be for ones who may have been using heavy butters and need a reset. Oils and butters are essential to afro type hair . I am learning so much from reading and educating myself. Knowledge is power and that’s why I am advocating that we all take the time to read so no one can ultimately fool you.

[@lesliesestates2763]

Listen to your hair 🥰, no head of hair is the same…nor should be treated the same

[@esthertjones]

Y'all don't come for me, but I might be leaving using shampoo every single week. 👀

[@braelynnblue]

I will also be shampooing once a week, maybe twice. I workout 5 days a week and sweat in my head so wash n gos are all I can do and my hair is fine.

[@LefenyoEveryday]

Lol the are times I don’t have time to do a shampoo so I rinse and apply conditioner 🫣. But I make sure to shampoo well 7/8 days after that. 😂😂, so no judgment here

[@del_sole6516]

Yes, I feel you. I’ve been washing my hair every two weeks, sometimes even three. It has been working.

[@nataliesasha8216]

Yes, best decision I made. Plus, washing my hair with sulfate shampoo and conditioning my hair with it’s corresponding conditioner that has silicones saved my tresses

[@createyourlegendarylife]

@esthertjones I wash at least 2 times a week. Have been since I BC in Feb. Last month or so I started cowashing midweek and using shampoo only once a week.

[@natashangambi4212]

What im bringing back into 2024: - oils -wearing wigs - twist outs instead of wash n gos - more braid styles with synthetic hair - using heat on my hair

Rosie great video 🥰💙.. can’t wait to see your hair journey! There’s so much I’m leaving behind in 2023 😂.. the biggest thing is “inconsistency” .. when I was washing and luvin up on my hair every week I could tell the difference/health of my hair and lately I’ve been all over the place and I can tell my hair is like girl you need to get it together 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@rosieamelia5955]

Yes consistent is very important, yes I am excited to see all my curly friends thrive with whatever path they take. So far my hair feels so good, it’s not hard and dry like it was before.

[@gretahudson8558]

Hi Rosie, one thing I’m leaving in 2023 is not implementing deep conditioning in my routine. I have always washed, and used wash out conditioner followed by leave-ins. In fact, I often hydrate & moisturize my hair in between washes with a mist of water & leave-in conditioner or a curl cream. I do this because I can go max 3 days before my hair needs some type of moisture. My hair naturally dries really fast unless I use heavy products that slow the drying process. I learned a while ago my hair needs something to slow the drying so I’ve always used a leave-in or some kind of cream, pudding or milk. lol ( I don’t know why products have so many food references instead of just calling them hydrators, moisturizers, or activators, etc). Because of this I didn’t think I needed deep conditioner. I should mention that I suffer from anemia which is a contributing factor to the dryness I experience.

[@rosieamelia5955]

Yes I think with most people who practice health hydrating process can most likely live without one. In the past I wasn’t a using weekly deep conditioner but my hair was healthy. I did prefer deep conditioners though because washing my hair is self care. But hopefully as my hair progresses back to health I can go back to maybe every other week.

[@Zigzagnaturalcurl]

So I already start to incoporate some stuff moving forward.. leave in n deep conditioning.. I might start doing a conditioner wash -co wash instead of a shampoo . I use to do it b4..

[@Autumn938]

Great video! I’m glad you’re on track with your hair routine for 2024. I’m sure your hair will thrive! I’m not changing anything. I’ll continue my same simple routine, which includes leave-ins and weekly deep condish.

Game changer- I used a leave in conditioner under my wng and a small amount on top of the wng before using a diffuser. I also use low heat setting. I also dry my hair only 70% instead of 100% crispy.

[@rosieamelia5955]

🙌🏾, I love that for you.

[@LefenyoEveryday]

Hi Rosie, been following your journey lately and I’m sorry for the setback. I remember when most people jumped on this wagon and we questioned using gels only and not using leave-ins. As someone that stays in sub Saharan Africa, I knew my hair would never cope. Thank you for your transparency and honesty with your hair journey ❤

[@rosieamelia5955]

🤣🤣🤣, I now can have a good laugh about the whole situation, 🙈 but through reading yes a leave it has a very good purpose. Oil’s also has a very good purpose 👀. Even winters here is another issue because the hair gets very dry. You’re very welcome, I feel at peace with what I shared because I know it helped so many to gain awareness and take a step back to examine their hair.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

I would add that the frequency with which you wash your hair should be driven with the amount of product you put in it. Cleansing the scalp is important so it should be 'routine'... whatever that is for your hair. How you use Heat in your regiment, how often you trim, understanding the Basics Anatomy of HAIR, the particulars of Black hair and the specifics of YOUR HAIR. That's key! Then find the products that work with your hair and stick to them.

[@rosieamelia5955]

Yes I wash once a week. I am always on a routine , same wash routine since childhood. I agree we all need to learn our own head of hair, when we do that we will be solid.

[@devonhoward333]

Emphasis on being a lab rat!!! When people were asking for long hair examples and there were NONE. That's when I really starting side-eyeing the method. Instead they spent more time trying to convince people they don't really want long hair lol so manipulative if you think about it. Welp you live and you learn. I'm still contemplating if I just want to big chop and start from scratch or gradually get cuts and grow out the damage but I'm still on the hunt for a stylist in my area I can trust to cut my hair... Thank you Rosie, Shelly and Narada (AfrikanHairGod) for speaking up!

[@rosieamelia5955]

I am sorry you are experiencing setbacks. I honestly don’t wish that for anyone because it can be very discouraging. I also need at least one more cut 👀, and I should be good to start growing out and just getting regular trims. But honestly when you cut and you start seeing and feeling the difference on (wash how many hours I want days 👀) it’s a no brainer! I am grateful that with all the ladies sharing their experiences including the ones who commented and shared what they were experiencing. That made such a difference 🙌🏾. Us all banding together against all odds made changes . I appreciate so much that AHG stood up and helped to make a difference for so many of us. Without him and all the ladies our voices might have been stifled.

[@juanitarobertson306]

Absolutely we don’t need 3 different gels! I always use a leave in conditioner! I definitely think using more than 1 or 2 gels is enough because hard hair with gel makes breaking hair!

[@rosieamelia5955]

I totally agree! And the funny thing is most using 3 gels wash and go don’t last more than 3 days 💡.

Thanks for this Rosie. Your hair is beautiful. I began the detox but add co washes once I catch dryness. Excited to see your progress! Happy 2024!!!

No curly cuts, using heat during drim will maybe do a straight one 1-2x a year a d blow out for the other two trims between each straightening session. Leave in/ oil . No harsh wash. Using steamer and deep conditioners. No Wash and goes till summer / hair is longer. Twist outs/ braids keeping hair stretched! Bonnets no buffs!

I am hoping to go back to getting only 2 cuts a year when my hair gets healthy again.

[@rachelk4914]

I deeply felt everything you said ❤ I did not practice said methods but still I gotta say it: No more lab rats on paying customers. Skipping leave ins but using 3 gels and a mousse😡 if I hear topper gel in 2024 it’ll be too soon. Give me all the oils and butters in the top ingredient list instead of watering/cheapening everything down. Your hair is already cute, can’t wait to see it thrive for 2024.

[@Neferfifi21]

For me, some of the rules just never made sense. The one thing they should've focused on is the importance of washing your hair well & regularly. As long as you're doing that, plus conditioning, I simply can't understand why using oil/butters/leave ins would be harmful. It's all a stylistic choice based on how you want your hair to look & last. I hated that they talked like they were scientists...they talked with such authority

I'm leaving harsh shampoos. Kinda doing my tweaked version of what's referred to as the Anthony Dickey wash n style. Water is my cleaner, followed by a rinse out conditioner, leave in and then styler ( jello shot) bi weekly. Use co wash for my cleanser weekly and clay detox to remove build up as needed. Only using botanical products. Not concerned as well about oils in the ingredients. So far so good. Great video! Thank you!❤
