My Natural Hair Regimen (2020)

[@caramelgoddess5522]

Shea butter , olive oil , castor oil , (tiny bit of blue magic organic grease -sealant) aloe Vera plant/ coconut oil prepoo , apple cider vinegar with distilled water spray diy -cuticle closing , African black soap for shampoo , bentonite clay (holy grail-periodt ) , leave in with hydrolized protein once weekly. 2020 will be another great 6 INCHES. Amen 🙏🏽 💯😍 High porosity/fine/3c4a/medium density

[@AfroKhadisiac]

It sounds like you definitely know what your hair likes Caramel! I love how everything is easily accessible too. ; Yesss, Bentonite Clay is forever a holy grail.🙌🏾 I can't believe I forgot to pull it out for the video. I'm praying that 2020 brings us lots of healthy hair & length retention! 💜

Thank you for your comment, what order do you use everything in? I'm soo confused 🤯 lol

[@shayna828]

Yes consistency always key

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Yes Shayna! Consistency has been the answer for me! I've learned that my hair can't take new products all the time lol. There needs to be some sort of consistency in order for me to see results. 💗

[@JaiProdz]

Would definitely enjoy a video where you talk about products that no longer work for you!!!

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know. I'll start gathering my products to do a video on that topic. 😘

[@fiorsanchez6049]

Lmao GIRL when you took out that kinky curly leave in I’m like i KNEW IT 😭😭 (personally my high porosity hair doesn’t like it that much 😩) and yes! Do that video of products that you used to love but don’t work for you anymore

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Lmao! I know Kinky Curly Knot Today is like "Can I get a break, pleaseeee" 🤣I just love it so much!! What's your fave leave in conditioner?! ; Ok sure! I'll do that video soon. 💗

[@memekendall3197]

My hair used to love it and Now.... to thick, 😞 I'm sad because I too loved it. My hair is Loving MixChicks right now. I wish it was cheaper though, since I need to use alot. I need to find a good oil to seal my high porosity hair.

[@clarissahughes6200]

Can you do a video on your weekly routine including like how you prep your hair for bed, in the morning, and then your refresher days as well as a video of products that used to work but now don't work?

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Great suggestion Clarissa! ❤️ I definitely have in mind to show you guys how I maintain my Twist Outs, Braid Outs and Wash N Gos throughout the week. Those videos take a little longer to film than a regular Natural Hair video so bare with me lol, but they're definitely on my list of videos to make this year.

[@crystaljackson240]

[@sharonpierrelouis5374]

The TGIN honey mask is amazing if you mix it with shea butter and coco butter. My hair loves it.

[@Babiielicous1996]

Please definitely do a video, on products that worked and stopped working. 😊😊

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Will do!

[@PreppyFay12]

Yes what a great video idea I’d also like to see!

[@PreppyFay12]

Lol this is so funny I was just typing your name in because I’m like I’m ready to check in with you on Sunday before I get to work and yesterday I was like oo where is the natural regimen video 👀. Love seeing your videos as a reminder that you don’t have to use new new every single year but rather need to be consistent with good hair practices and quality ingredients. Gave coconut oil a chance again this year as a prepoo and surprisingly it’s started working again and changes how my shampoo works on my hair. Thanks for showing consistency over always doing the “newest” thing.

[@AfroKhadisiac]

LOL yasss Fay! Thank you for remembering that I upload on Sundays because KZbin plays too much with the notifications. 😪 Also, if you knew to expect the Natural Hair Regimen video in January that means you've been rocking with me for awhile 👀 lol! Thank you so much for all your support. 💗 Of course! My mission is to share my Natural hair journey with you all rather than follow the newest trends. I'm on a healthy hair journey looking to grow my hair long, so I definitely want to treat my hair well in order to see those results. I'm so glad that you re-visited the pre-poo and gave it another go. Sometimes you have to try products a few times to really feel them out. I read that Palm Kernel Oil is comparable to Coconut Oil. I definitely want to try that one out sometime this year for those who don't like Coconut Oil or cant use due to allergies.

[@PreppyFay12]

Afro Khadisiac Wow a whole paragraph reply?! Lol girl yes I’ve been rocking with you since like 2015 or 2016 when I thought olive oil and water alone would maintain moisture in my hair 😂. Have come a long way since then haha and that’s definitely been with your help. Always excited to see what stayed or made the cut to staple status and while not all of them have worked for me I have definitely learned more about why my hair reacts to certain products because of increased ingredient consciousness. Thanks for being my A-1 day 1 fellow high porosity curl friend.

[@ninagroot]

Thanks for sharing your 2020 regimen! Could you please make a compilation of how you treat your hair on a daily basis? Thanks!

[@crystaljackson240]

Please. That will be great

[@itsjennijen9835]

As much as I wanna explore new stuff this year, I really shouldn't stray too far from Camille Rose and/ or The Mane Choice ( the og line!)

[@AfroKhadisiac]

I hear you! The best advice I could give you as far as trying new products goes is to maybe try new releases specifically from those brands. That way you could see what else is out there while staying committed to brands that you know already work for your hair. 💜

[@Ntombi_Red]

Camille Rose seems like a great product, wish we had it in South Africa, shipping is expensive.

[@Lyric4L]

I love Jane Carter Curl defining cream... my hair looks and feels so soft afterwards!!

[@shellyreynolds8948]

Howdy my Sweet Lil Huckleberry I'd have to agree. Sticking with ingredients that truly benefit your scalp, hair and overall health. Will definitely be the way you'll gain those inches eventually. Like they say "Well if it ain't broke then don't fix it."

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Hey Shelly! Exactly. Sticking with what you know works will definitely help you reach those hair goals! I bought quite a few products at the end of 2019 though. I'm hoping I find some new staples this year as well. ❣️❣️

[@shellyreynolds8948]

@@AfroKhadisiac Good luck I've heard there really were some worthy new options available now. One of the most fun reasons I make what I use, would actually be due to enjoying tweaking around recipes with new ingredients. Sometimes I end up loving the new creation even more, or utilizing both the originals, and the newer crew too.

[@baekage7002]

Omg!! That edge control from NatureAll Club is a game changer. I hate laying my edges and rather leave then curly, but that edge control actually does what it says. + no damage!! 🥰🥰🥰 Idk if you heard about Soultanicals, but I’m dying to try their detox and butter shampoo. Another KZbinr used it, and said it was so cleansing and moisturizing that they didn’t even deep condition afterwards!! 👀

[@PreppyFay12]

When you look back at your 2020 Regimen and then laugh because some of your products and 2020 in general were playing games. Brands won't be names but we know who they are. I have to say I have retained a good amount of length this year all the more as I have had more time to take care of my hair and monitor changes in my hair more closely in relation to how products and techniques work on my hair without having to worry to much about my hair looking "perfect". Can't wait to see your new staples as you find them.

[@sihamtahiri8156]

Thank you ❤️ Pliz can you make a video about the product of Shea moisture that you've tried and you've noticed the difference....

[@4evahazeleyez]

Hey girl Heyyyyy! Consistency is 🔑 and I wish I had been serious about my hair 7 years ago! I just started a new regimen right before the New Year with products from The Mane Choice and my hair has been responding well. I guess I really do need the entire collection from a brand for the best results. You have a great hair regimen. Tfs 💕

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Hey girlllll! 😊 That's ok! The most important thing is that you're serious about caring for your hair now and took the initiative to build an effective regimen for your hair. I'm so glad to hear that The Mane Choice is working well for your hair. They really do have some gems in their product line up. I was impressed by their Ancient Egyptian collection that I tried last year. I'll be trying more from them soon. Which collection are you using? Thank you so much!! 😘

Happy New Year! I wish you all the best in this coming year. Thanks for the video as always!

[@TheAmazingXman]

My hair loves coconut oil! I also do enjoy that mane choice oil I used it up early 2019 and I'm using one from soultanicals, camille rose, and adwoa beauty right now just to see which I prefer! Also kinky curly knot today is an OG! I have one use left in my bottle! And a double yes to the TGIN honey miracle mask and the camille rose coconut water hair treatment! Those two are BOMB! Seriously the slip the and the moisture in those products are heavenly! I have extremely low porosity hair so the honey miracle mask is perfect because the honey is high up and low porosity hair such as mine loves humectants! Anything with honey, aloe, molasses (my hair REALLY loves this), glycerin, or beet sugar. My hair is soft as a cloud! Great video Khadijah!💙💙😇😇

Coconut Oil Is Not My Friend It Smells So Good Too Ughh

[@AfroKhadisiac]

I wish it could work for everyone!! lol 😣 It does smell amazing though. Have you tried Avocado Oil or Palm Kernel Oil? Those have reparative benefits like Coconut Oil.

[@PreppyFay12]

Also have you tried that brand. I bought the same one from Target and retried prepooing with coconut oil and have gotten good results. Also how much protein do you use on the regular? If my hair is protein overloaded o have to stay away from coconut oil because it only helps keep the excess protein from leaving my hair. Hope this helps someone.

Same here, Olivia! I had so many favorites from Shea Moisture, but the list keeps getting shorter and shorter as I re-visit old faves and realize they no longer work for me. I've since ventured out and tried different brands like CRN, Mielle, etc.

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Hey Aisha! Hmm, I think I know what's going on with your hair. It sounds like maybe there is product sitting on top of your strands which is causing it to look dry and feel oily. I would suggest clarifying with a good cleansing shampoo. I love to use Aphogee's Shampoo for Damaged Hair once a month for clarifying. I hope that helps! ❤️

I know you'd love the jbco shampoo by okay pure naturals. I can't use it much because of the protein, but i like it

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Thank you so much Chals! Omg, I've been looking for different sulfate free shampoos that contain protein. All these years I've been using Shea Moisture shampoos because they're moisturizing and contain protein. However, since majority of my favorite shampoos from Shea Moisture no longer work for me, with the exception of the High Porosity one, I've been exploring different brands. I will definitely put the JBCO shampoo by Okay Pure Naturals on my list. Is it also moisturizing?

Does Shea still make that high porosity line?

[@PreppyFay12]

Hey AK how have you felt about the Burnt Sugar Pomade Versus the Camille Rose Brown Butter Melt? I’m curious because I’ve bought both in the past and found the Burnt Sugar has more hold if I remember and I felt the Brown Butter Melt was greasy but I didn’t think to use it soley to twist my hair but as a sealer over my leave-in and cream styler. It coats my hair pretty well. I’m thinking of trying the Burnt Sugar again this Black Friday. Just wanted to hear your thoughts?

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Hey Fay! I absolutely LOVE both of them, but they do differ in some ways. The Burnt Sugar Pomade gives my dry twist outs a lot of definition and hold. The Brown Butter Melt gives my hair less definition and less hold. I like the Brown Butter Melt because it doesn't deposit as much build up as the Burnt Sugar pomade, however. If you're looking to use either pomade to twist your hair, I would say go with the Oyin. It produces beautiful definition that lasts. I don't feel that I have to re-twist my dry hair when I use that one. You'll just have to use a really good cleansing shampoo the following wash day. I hope that helps! 😘

[@PreppyFay12]

@@AfroKhadisiac Girl this was the exact kind of helpful I wanted. Also GIRL I FINALLY and I say finally after following your channel for 5 years now that the Carol's Daughter Marguerite's Magic is the best twisting cream I have ever used on my hair. After first use it has instantly become a staple in my regimen. Very impressed with the moisture, hold and definition.

What would you suggest instead of the high porosity shampoo by Shea moisture? I don't know if they are discontinuing it but I can't find it anywhere.

[@AfroKhadisiac]

Hi Lovewax! That's interesting. A few months ago I heard from someone else who said they couldn't find the Shea Moisture High Porosity shampoo anywhere. I helped her find it online. It was available on Walmart.com. I also saw it on Pharmapacks.com, but it was more expensive. I re-purchased the shampoo earlier this year from Target.com. However, the formula seemed to be different in that it didn't cleanse as well as the previous bottle I had been using. I was very disappointed and have been searching for a replacement since. I am currently using the Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian Anti-Breakage shampoo. It is good, but I'm still on the hunt for something that's a tad bit more cleansing and possibly cheaper. Stay tuned for future videos. I will be testing out other shampoos.

I have lp hair too and my hair would dry out in 2 -3 days as well. Lately what has helped me is deep conditioning my hair, properly. To do this ill use a thin or whipped dc like Camille Rose Coconut Curls treatment, then add more water to thin it out, and steam. I styled my yair in a wash n go almost a week ago and its still reallh soft/hydrated like day 1 hair.
