Moisturizing Dry Natural Hair | Retaining Moisture - Naptural85

[@Ggirl491]

I moisturize my hair once a week using only 4 products: Water, leave in conditioner, a water-based cream, and good old Blue Magic hair grease (blue jar) lol. In my opinion, grease is the best way to seal in moisture. I've experienced less shedding and hair breakage and don't have to moisturize my hair everyday (thank goodness because I'm lazy lol)

[@f.m.m6706]

Is once a week too little or not?

[@Bilqis445]

Practically everyone recommends coconut oil for natural hair but if you notice your hair is dry after using it, it probably isn't for you. I've being natural for 6 months and it took me way too long to realise the coconut oil was causing my hair to feel dry. My hair prefers the thicker stuff like Shea butter and castor oil. Like I said a lot of KZbinrs love coconut oil but it's definitely not for everyone!

[@artheaux666]

same

[@savannachinn7099]

my hair loves coconut oil in the spring/summer months. Avocado oil is fall/winter for me

[@taraswojcik873]

I ended up trimming my hair every 3-4 weeks because coconut oil was drying it out so badddd

[@cristinaapplebottom9648]

I use castor oild and real shea butter too. But since the shea butter is harf I mix in castor oil with it and then apply it on my scalp and some on my hair

[@SJones-kk5lg]

+Cristina Applebottom Where do you purchase your shea butter? I am leery of the dark yellow kind at the Asian supply stores.

[@REPDC4LIFE]

She is soooo on the money when she said to moisturize with water. I stopped using store bought moisturizers and started using water and oil and I have seen my mane grow and retain length ever since. My experience.

[@08baby25]

yup. our hair loves water!

[@yumiko0017]

Throughout the week, you just water and an oil?

[@NaijaChristine]

+yumiko0017 yesss i just started this. just hot water in a spritz bottle and seal with an oil or butter. i seal with shea. best thing evahhh

[@christine1962ful]

I like your statement. I have been doing WOW and only add oils to seal ends or for Prepooing. Water and oil is the truth!

[@08baby25]

Wash and gos work best when your hair is dripping wet. I always do mine in the shower.

A lot of your questions answered here! New Video is up!! #NaturalHair

[@OHichez]

QUESTION: I haven't shampoo in a long time and I want to change back to using the mud wash because it helped a lot, but my hair is medium length, which makes it dificult to deal with. What would you recommend about the detox process at the beginning of using the terresentials mud wash? Or what other ways can I wash my scalp besides using baking soda (strong rumor that it dryes hair over the time) #Help

[@Naptural85]

Hey OHichez ! With the mud wash, you don't need to do that detox process. I never did and was totally fine. You can also cleanse your scalp with conditioner. Just apply it like shampoo and massage it into your scalp. There are also "cleansing" conditioners but I suspect it' the same as a regular conditioner

[@OHichez]

***** Mhmm well, I get a lot of build up from co-washing my hair it's why I want to cleanse my scalp, but thank you I will go with the Mud Wash and probably alternate to conditioning. Keep up with your channels I'm a fan ! loll

[@vnjones99]

Thanks for the tips but I have a few questions.I've had relaxed hair for as long as I could remeber and I always hated it.I cut my hair off to were my natural hair started to come in (about 2 inches).I now have box braids to let my hair grow out.Was that a good decision?And also,how long do you think it will take me to grow out my hair?

[@Naturallyluvusagi]

Thanks so much for the vid! Just cut off my relaxed ends after two years of transitioning. My hair has always just felt really dry and dull has been kinda worrying me especially since I do drank and ton of water but I suppose I don't really moisturize and seal my hair daily -_-

[@BIGBOSSandTHEDOLL]

best hair channel on the site.

[@sapphirebrathwaite2148]

Yup, I know right😊✌👍👍👍

[@adorablebelle]

I've been lying to myself. 4c using just a dab of coconut oil as sealant and wondering why my hair is dry... BYE.

[@Jasminesim18]

GIRL SAME. It wasn't until I started using shea butter mixes and then I realized how dumb I was to use just coconut oil in my hair -.-

[@prillad.3063]

Truth!!

[@datchickmelski]

What oil is best then? 😩

[@prillad.3063]

mel231 Shea butter would do... Esp. with its thicker consistency compared to coconut oil.

[@datchickmelski]

Prilla D. My hair is very fine so shea butter is just too thick :( Thanks for getting back to me though!

[@rachaelgriffin8803]

I wish I was half as good at taking care of my hair as you are at taking care of yours

[@idfwuidgaf1441]

Ikr

[@MM-gf5vm]

You can be. Just keep doing it.

[@Mimi89_7]

Maggie Martin it's true I'm still learning but I'm going back to my roots lol grease and water grew my hair as a kid now I spray it with water and put my moisture in now my hair is growing so much omg I stop going to the hair salon and I stop relaxing it my poor hair was crying for me to stop lol

[@lolabrown2042]

Excellent video. My hair was extremely dry, so I tried the argan oil last night, where I wet my hair, sectioned it, gently detangled it, put argan oil on the section, and two strand twisted. Woke up this morning, and my hair was super moisturized! Thank you!

[@DetectiveTective]

I have verrry thick hair, but it hates heavy butters. It prefers something extremely light. So I made my own butter/cream that's very light, with cupuacu butter, Aloe Vera butter, coconut oil, castor oil, and babassu oil. If any of you out there have hair like mine, and you want to try it for yourself, go pick up those things online, make it and see if it works for you! :D

[@SunshineSurfsup1]

Thank you! Will try your recipe.

[@Navaura]

Ms Kay me too.

[@lisakaye3919]

mine too. u probably have dense hair with fine strands. my strands are fine even tho it’s VERY dense. my hair doesn’t like oils or butters 😩 i may need to make my own too some type of super light butter

[@claudiefurgus3981]

Your recipe looks great for those of us with similar needs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiring me to continue to find my own mixture. Watching the video in January 2023!

[@nzingawenham4536]

Castor oil loves me and I love castor oil

[@pb7378]

Same, my auntie swore by it!

[@YogaBlissDance]

Yep my hair is coarse m needs heavy oils. But I cut castor with almond or coconut. Or it's too sticky

[@auwagaagawua2696]

same here- my hair loves oil, esp. Castor

[@yaapub6239]

Hahaha

[@Queen-yu5qn]

Me too

[@sarahmcgee6269]

Naptural5, I have followed your channel for years. Your inspirational videos have really helped me with my "natural journey". Did the BIG chop in 2012, and have never looked back, now I'm in the process of making my own hair products, and again, my inspiration comes from you.

[@angelzie]

This lady on my job tried to tell me that water dries her hair out. I gave her a "deer in headlights" look.

[@shontapl]

conquestlife wait....... what?

[@302Notary-fingerprintboss]

Hi 👋🏾 Just chiming in on your conversation... Water by itself may be drying to hair especially if it's hard water... calcium and minerals and overall gunk in our water... try distilled water... detox hair with bentonite and rhassoul clay mixtures enhanced with olive oil, grape seed oil ... I know you said it's your coworker but perhaps you can share these tips with her and see how it works for her. Hoping it helps.😍

[@ImadeIyamu]

Maybe she's not sealing with any oil. Once the water evaporates it goes back to being dry without oil.

[@ghiblifiend]

newphillygirl Thanks! I live in a hard water place and my hair is always dry after washing it! I'll try it out but its hard as I live in the UK and I dont know where to buy it. It seems that you can't get it very easily here

[@180waves]

[@HarmonyLotus]

I've been following your methods for the last few days and have already noticed a difference - my hair feels softer, shinier and healthier. Thank you so much!

[@sunnylyon42]

The water and oil works very well for my hair!! Also I've learned that the heavier oils are best for me! Through trial and error! Thank you naptural85

[@natashafowler1351]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the mystery of natural hair and why it will never stop going back to dry. I always felt I didn't do it right or wasn't spending enough money on THE product to give me "good" hair. Sincerely THANK YOU for this video

[@1sava]

It's not that natural hair is always dry, it's just that it need water everyday (or every other day). Our hair is actually like a plant. Would you say that a plant is naturally dry? No, but it's just that plants need water everyday (or every other day) in order to sustain themselves. They need to be watered regularly, or they will wither away. Same thing with out hair! It is a plant that needs water regularly.

[@khensu6430]

Sava good observation my brother

[@viviansimes8625]

Sava you are 100 % on 👉 point!

[@ishjusmusic]

This helps a lot! I have always tried to add the heavy creams, thinking that was moisturizer, but now I know better.

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

I have been using aloe vera juice since 2012 based on your advice in a previous video. I have a 32 ounce bottle of aloe vera juice in my refrigerator right now. You offer so many good tips. Keep it coming. Thank you so much for the information that you share. Have a good week:)

[@lulal4869]

I want to say thank you💝 you have inspired me to keep continue wearing my natural hair out since 2010"! I appreciate all your videos that help to know there is beauty in my 4c and by showing me all the homemade way I can make at home! I have been following since 2010, I been natural since 2010 and proud of it !💝💝💝 thank you!💝👍

[@CookingWithCarolyn]

Thanks for the video Hun! This is why you're listed as one of my favorite featured channels on my channel :D

[@blackperception5409]

I can see that your hair has grown so beautifully, and most of all, it's healthy as well. Your channel is so beneficial and I hope that a lot of women that have relaxed hair will come their senses and try going natural again. Thank you for such motivational tips, I will use this method (currently suffering with dry hair) and patiently wait on the results!

[@Mazel_Tov_888]

great job. you cute too. just wanted say tap water has chemicals like chloride that promotes dryness among other bad things. I use distilled water, my hair is less dry when using it compared to tap water.

[@hairsthescoop6513]

Ric777888 great tip 👍🏾

[@keveenajohnson1105]

I started watching your videos and decided to go natural for the 3rd time in my life. I love your videos and I think you have one of the best channels on YT. I love your vibe and your hair. And you are beautiful. Keep up the great work. And thank you.

[@angt5953]

girl, that hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm always in awe. It's just awesome!

[@iamgracious1]

YesThank You for this video. I learned that i need butter for my hair not light oils. i have 4c hair and it is very thirsty.lol

[@natrucurls3249]

Whit I want to thank you for all your DIY tips. My hair is growing down my back (it use to hit my shoulders as in my post pix) and never grown pass them. Since I have been following your tips and tweaking them for my hair (3C with a 4A crown) the crown is finally getting closer to the texture of the rest of my hair. I brag about all I have learn from you and pass it on to my friends. I love, love my hair now that I understand how to naturally care for it and I gladly give the props to you. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@CourtneyThomasButtercupsCookie]

you should be a teacher. do seminars, travel the world with your message. i loooove watching and learning from you! I appreciate the knowledge you spread and have applied a lot to my own life. i thank you Whitney! and my hair thanks you as well :) xo

[@sadaesashington7255]

TheCreativeMission i agree

[@amickis]

Hi Whitney. I just want to say that your channel is my absolute favorite for natural hair tips! My hair type is almost identical to yours, which is why I choose to seek you for hair advice. This video, like all your other videos, is very informative, not to mention, right on time. Before watching this video, I was sitting here with conditioner in my hair, contemplating which products to use today to combat dryness. I've been natural for 2.5 yrs, and your tutorials have helped me throughout this journey more than you will ever know. Now, I'm off to fill my spray bottle w/water and aloe vera juice, lol. Thanks!

[@saltedbrownies]

I spent a couple of weeks with a curly, wrapped updo because I wasn't at home with my usual products and didn't really know what to do. I just sprayed water on it with a bottle everyday and sometimes applied Vaseline which I usually hate to use, and redid the twists and was good to go. After a few weeks of that, I washed my hair. Of course, the Vaseline took a few washes to remove. But when I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror, what a difference! I had always underestimated the power of just water and I had always been drawn away from Vaseline, I thought it was actually bad for your hair. But I guess that daily moisture and the occasional Vaseline to seal and not really over stressing my hair just made it... FANTASTICALLY moisturizerized. My hair feels thick and full and soft and just retains moisture like it never has. I will continue to moisturizerize and seal in conjunction with my new flexi rod regimen. I'm gonna be trying that out this week. But yea, my gosh, water is so good for your hair! Especially sealed. Who knew, lol.

[@TheRecoveringCreative]

The aloe Vera juice and water mixture is....THE BEST! I finally tried it on my transitioning hair and the knots are melting away and my hair feels so moisturized. Thank you!

[@coilyloxs9696]

6 years later still benefiting from this advice. 💕 you ROCK!!!

[@chanellebonner2016]

I know that this is an older video, but thank you for this. I just took braids out, and my hair has been feeling quite resistant to all forms of moisture that I use. But I will give my hair time to repair and continue my daily moisture regiment. Thanks again!

[@faythmomto5]

I’m back with you. I’ve been lazy AF! Made your mango butter and black soap wash last night. One of my biracial daughters has ‘my’ hair and we are just celebrating all these natural products I’ve ordered and what you e taught me to make. The rose water made her squeal! She’s 10..but I was squealing too. Smells. So. Good.

[@mrinalinidevi2724]

I like your style and personality... very classy.

[@QueenofAlternative97]

This has to be the most helpful video about natural hair care I've found!!! Everyone talks about oils and moisture, but I was confused since I couldn't find concrete definitions of either of them! (I had an idea but no straightforward definition) But this has finally answered my questions! Thanks so much!!

[@stop08it]

i found out my hair was dry because my body was starved for nutrients. Had to change my diet as natural hair will clearly reflect what's going on in the body. It's important (even more so if you are very deficient) to nourish the hair from the inside and out. My focus is not my hair but my health but of course healthy hair reflects a healthy body.

[@sbella44]

Naptural, you are so good at sharing hair information without doing the most. Love it. Thankyou.

[@hairbymatilda7060]

I was using different oils for a couple of months, as oil-treatments and using them as leave-in-treatments, but I still felt my hair was dry (my hair is scandinavian, pretty straight, dry and has split ends) no matter how much oil I used! But then I tried this method, the moisture + sealant, and now I can actually feel and see a difference, and my hair has grown suprisingly much (since my ends aren't dry and don't break off as much now that my hair is moisturised). My hair can, of course, look a bit oily afterwards, because of my light/straight hairtexture, but I don't mind at all! :)

[@MiamiPush2theLimit]

Maybe the oils you are using are too heavy for your hair. Try Jojoba oil. It is super light weight and still seals in moisture. I have super thick hair so I stopped using Jojoba because I need something much heavier such as castor oil and Shea butter.

[@BebeGunsz]

You are literally my hair hero, lol. I have similar hair texture as you so your pics and videos give me drive to continue this journey though it requires lots of work and dedication. I just want it super long already, lol. Peace and blessings to you queen!

Thanks a lot. This video was very helpful and very informative. I was already getting frustrated with my dry hair

[@Reonnaisme]

Your page rocks!!!! I just went natural a year ago and my hair is really growing out! I am always looking for natural hair help and I can tell ur page is going to help me out a lot! Your hair is soooo BEAUTIFUL!😍 keep up the great work!

[@chefkendranguyen]

Very, very good advice. Although I keep my hair extremely cropped I still enjoyed your videos :)

[@Tia.K.C]

Totally agree about natural hair being dry. Products tend to make my scalp itch so I just go with the flow and let my hair be its unpredictable self. Great video. And water is AMAZING! its my bf when I need some moisture. You really just need to take the time to brush it through your hair and spruce it in. But don't forget to moisture regularly and seal any water moisture.

[@None-of-yours22.]

This may not apply to everyone but I have faithfully moisturized my for m entire natural hair journey(2 years) and my hair was still dry brittle and breaking off at the ends as a result. Now what I discovered is that shampoo and conditioner matters to! I was using Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Shampoo or the Yucca and Baobab, V05 Coconut conditioner, and Tressemme Naturals Conditioner and after using those products my hair was dry. Moisturizing didn't really help much. So I switched to Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner and Pantene Cowash.....HUGE, HUGE difference in the moisture of my hair. Wish I'd have found this out sooner.

[@awakenthegoddess1491]

Thank you so much! I had to come and revisit because I am currently stuggling with dryness. I have high porosity hair and I haven't figured out how to keep it moisturized everday without manipulating it everday. Such a hard balance.

[@Bilqis445]

This video was really informative though. I didn't know shea butter isn't considered a moisturiser.gonna have to get myself some aloe Vera juice. Thanks for the great vid!😊

[@lovevshate2011]

I just did the big chop a month ago so I'm new to the natural hair community & confused so this helped SO MUCH, Whitney!!! Thank you!

[@aliciamoore8679]

Is that a twist out? It's soooo freakin cute!

[@jacqueline5440]

Thank you!! I never knew that water moisturises your hair, I always thought wetting my hair would damage it but this makes so much more sense! This is so helpful 😊

[@moniquejohnson7819]

Thank you so much. This was the best! I was using a butter on my hair daily and it was weighing it down. Now I realized I only need a light oil for my 3c hair.

[@aniyah80]

Sigh... Naptural85, you are one of the prettiest mommies ever. Really, just great beauty and great hair. Take care! Peace.

[@joannlewis3559]

Thank you so very much - I watched others and come back to your every time. I used the water only for awhile, but that became taxing on a daily basis esp in the winter - not good for me. My hair is very curly, kinky when dry and the wash and go just doesn't work for me, but that's probably because I don't keep it trimmed - I have yet to find some one who just wants to cut it all off. You have been a true blessing to us all. Again, thank you and continued best wishes. (I'm 69 yrs young and I follow your advice, my hair is beginning to really grow out)

[@JaySymonLee]

Is it possible, that you some people don't need to moisturize everyday? Because I feel like I can go 2-3 days and my hair will be fine. When I tried to do that(mosturize every day), my hair would end up frizzing up and feeling more drier than normal? I have to use shea butter and flax seed gel to seal in my moisture and I am 3C. I guess ill give it whirl again!

[@ariamonsoon7510]

I completely agree. I don't moisturize my hair every single day because it will frizz up and get weighed down. I have low porosity hair and I don't need to moisturize everyday because my hair retains moisture well for 2-3 days. So if you don't need to moisturize your hair every day, then I wouldn't do it because then you could risk over moisturizing your hair, which is bad :)

[@NancyWasntHere]

I moisturize my hair every 2-3 days as well. I think you should just moisturize your hair as needed. Some people need to moisturize everyday and some can go longer.

[@Naptural85]

Hey JaySymonLee Just keep doing whatever's working for you! I put "daily" in quotations because I used to do the water and butter application daily, but found it unnecessary after awhile. Now I only use it as needed! Some weeks it's daily, so weeks it's every other day, sometimes it's once a week! Just depends on the weather and my activity, so do what's right for you!

[@cydneywinzor742]

Thank you so much for this video! I never used to moisturize my hair when it was being straightened weekly and now my hair is SUPER dry! I have gotten into the habit of moisturizing and sealing but I never saw any results. And I just recently BC and it still looks dry, but I think I just need to give my hair some time and switch to a heavier butter like shea. I will definitely try your DIY, thank you so much for your videos. You're a god send.

[@TheDiva4361]

One third of the way in the video, I got up, moisturized my hair and drank a bottle of water! LOL

[@aadyae]

thank you thank you thank you for one of the most informative videos. Nothing about what product to buy just straight to it on how to honestly grow natural hair. all the ladies are appreciated for what they offer. But you are appreciated for just putting it out there with not extras and pleasantly doing so. happy new year.

[@lolabrown2042]

I agree, I like the way she provides excellent info, but keeps it straight to the point, no side-barring.

[@n4musica]

This is a question I have had for ages and haven't figured it out. I know that it's better to throw your hair up in a protective style and leave it for a few days but it's also best to moisturize and seal in your hair everyday.... How do you do both??

[@jazzyj904]

+naarahformusic Try leaving it in a bun / ponytail, then getting an applicator bottle / dropper and a spray bottle of water. Use the water to spray your hair and the bun and use the dropper to get on the inside. Run it through your scalp (in the direction the hair is going) and then squeeze some inside of your bun. i just came up with that lol. I had to visualize it. Maybe that will help?

[@n4musica]

Thanks!! I've been experimenting with moisturizing and protective styling so I'll give this a shot! :)

[@marshayelynn7952]

My hair is on its way back to life! I wish someone had directed me before now but, it's cool. I'm ready for this "new hair"!

[@lumiwo]

I don't fully agree with the idea of "coilier hair, heavier sealant". Or maybe I'm just the excption to the rule. My hair is somewhere around 4b/c but I also have low porosity hair and even with a dime-size amount of shea butter, it still feels greasy and weighed down. The one sealant I have seen that seals in the moisture and does not weigh my hair down is Avocado Oil.

[@TarlaMorris]

I know what you mean. My hair is multi-textured - with 2c, 3c and 4a - and has low porosity. Although my curl pattern is tight, if anything remotely dense touches my hair, all I get is crunchy, hard hair without any curl pattern. I've been natural since last year August, and I'm yet to find anything that moisturises my hair well, and complements my curls.

[@mawaye2000]

She suggested that coilier textures may want to start at the heavier oils and then work your way down as appropriate. I have low porosity 4b/c hair. I started off with shea butter but had to be very light with it in order to use. I cannot use coconut oil or castor oil at all but I have had better success with jojoba butter and avocado butter used lightly to seal. Also my steamer is my best friend!!

[@amalianiang8002]

When you say water do u mean like soak hair or more like dampen it. My hair is short so i don't want super shrinkage after wetting it

[@IsabellaNugent]

This video helped me! I have dry thick hair, just up to my shoulders and my hair never stays curly only when i condition it, but then the curls, leave and turn frizzy.

[@Nana30877]

How do you moisturize your hair without making it feel greasy/oily from the oil sealant? I do a braid out on my hair every night after I moisturize and seal. But after I take it out the next day, it's always greasy when I touch it and stays that way allllll day. How do I get my hair to be moisturized without the greasiness!

[@jazzyj904]

+Chelsea B You would end up having to find a different oil. Idk what oil you use, but if you don't already, try OLIVE OIL (EXTRA VIRGIN) It's probably the lightest oil. I notice that when I mix it with water that I don't get that nasty goopy feeling, it's so light and smooth. It doesn't make me feel like I can't touch anything afterwards. Use just olive oil and water and you'll be good. My hair is suuuuuuper dry but I've been doing the greenhouse method with nothing but water and olive oil and when I take off the cap and my hair dries, my hair feels so moist (of course when I touch it I get oil on my hands lol). But it feels really good.

[@ikiyadevonish1649]

Thats just excess oil yo u can rinse it out in the shower. Your hair will keep what it needs

[@Sombia]

You probably over saturated your hair, try using less oil or a less thick oil

[@fantazia938]

Thank you! I live in Mass as well. As you know we had a horrific winter. I feel kinda dumb now. Clearly the dry air is drying my hair out and I need to put it back daily. The olive oil wasn't working in the back of head where my curls are tighter. My BFF made me 3 jars of Shea butter mix so I'm good to go!

[@doorengray1]

Hey naptural85 I have been natural for 3years and I have tried everything the protective styling,moisturizing, deep conditioning, and co washing and protein treatment. Nothing seems to be working, my hair is only 6inch, 7, 8 and in layers and I am just fed up with it no growth and it's always breaking off and my hair is very pourous.

[@faybury4428]

Yup i just started doing this method too! I mix water and aloe vera juice together, section my hair and spray it on thoroughly. Then I seal with my Camile Rose almond jai twisting butter along with adding castor oil to the ends of my hair. I'll repeat this every other day until wash day.

Ok, new natural here. I've been told to moisturizer & then seal. From what u have explained if I spray water & cold aloe vera juice & the cold juice closes my cuticles how will the moisture get in? Please help me understand this natural hair thing. I am in information overload & I'm confused. Love your videos :)

[@misszolae]

the water/aloe vera juice is the moisture. then you seal it in with oils.

I want to thank you so much for this video. I went natural in 2016.. hair fell out. Now in 20/20. I never heard anyone EXPLAIN in detail like you just did. My hair has been dry for so long and I never kept it moisturized daily. I always let it get dessert dry. I will do as you suggested. My sister kept telling me to stop using perm. Now that I'm natural it feels good. 😊

Can the water and aloe Vera be used on little girls hair also?

[@melteddarkchocolate000]

Yes

[@danabagnall4255]

Thank you soooo much for your helpful tutorials. It had helped me greatly to be natural and free. My hair texture is like a 4b/4c. I went from being told I have centrifugal alopecia and that it is progressive to the 3 bald patches growing in healthy, thick and strong. To God be glory. I wore 2 wigs from November-June. I did the big chop in November. I've been taking hairfinity, biotin 5000mg, zinc, vitamin D3 2000mg & fish oil. My external regimen for my hair has included aloe vera juice & water along with your mixture of recommended oils and shea butter. I also cowash sometimes twice a week because I run and work out now. Thank you for helping a sista to understand and appreciate that our hair needs tender loving care like you would do with a plant or any other living being. Most importantly. ..I thank God. You are a an asset. Appreciatively, Dlivnlife

This is a really great video nap! Thank you

[@tonyaminor3729]

Thank you. Your videos really help me on my hair journey. I have been wondering if it was not healthy to moisturize my hair everyday. Thank you i get most of my information, natural hair recipes and do's and dont's from you and research. Again Thank you

[@victoriaodoi-atsem2359]

if you moisturized with water then sealed with Shea butter, how can you re-moisturize the next day without first removing the Shea butter sealant?

[@aggydreams]

Victoria Odoi-Atsem seal with hemp oil or sweet almond oil

So happy to have found this! Love your vids!

[@Fe1520]

So grateful for this vid. Been realllly frustrated with the constant dryness of my hair. I realise now that I'm not moisturising it enough and it's not healthy presently but I will stick it out. :)

[@santanagonsalves6461]

Always have to come back here because these new girls just ain't cutting it.

[@faralmostgone1128]

I wrote everything down. Will do. Thank you so much. Thank God. Your hair is amazing. Excellent job. I'm baffled.

[@ashleyplummer1978]

how do you feel about deep conditioning on dry hair?

[@footkindness4501]

I'm loving your videos! My hair is very thick and dry at times so l need to moisturize it regularly. You have inspired me to make my own hair products and enjoy the hair that God gave me. Keep up the good work xx

[@KarjianaCadet]

How do I know if a sealant is working for me? I have dense, mostly 4A/4B hair but my hairs are very fine so I'm never really sure if I should go towards the heavier oils & conditioners or the lighter oils & conditioners. I've found that a deep conditioner that's light but not too light is better for my hair. I've been natural for 3 years now and I feel like I still can't figure this out. PLEASE HELP.!

[@TheGMRevolution]

You make sooo much sense. I was about to give up- my hair go so dry. I really need to seal with something thicker, I am going to use shea butter. Love your hair.

[@HeyTwinTv]

Hey Whitney! Do you mind telling us which video editor you use? Lol, I know, random question, but I need to get whatever you have! Lol LOVES!!

Personally, if I just mist my hair with water daily, my ends would clump up and be gummy. So I use a water-base product to lightly mist my hair daily and seal with (non-virgin) coconut oil. Caster oil and shea butter are typically too dense/heavy for my hair type which is the coarser 3/4 type. Thanks for the video.
