It may sound stupid, but I never really fully realized that black women went through a different process than other women when washing/ drying their hair. Props to you for taking the time to do all of this. I have more wavy hair, and I get annoyed if I have to brush it more than once a week lol. So sorry if any women or men of another race have ever given you shit for wearing your hair naturally/ braided/ cornrowed/ etc. You are so beautiful, and so is your hair. Sending you peace and love.

[@belledej7555]

I’m black, but I actually end up saying the same thing since not all black womens hair are the same, but I never really realized how a lot of them wash days can take up to many hrs and a whole day. 😭

[@jerricasongz]

she is so good with hair , she proves that hair texture doesnt matter , u just gotta know what youre doing

[@briyonce7317]

And she makes it look so easy

[@chinelouchendu1058]

I love how she's straight to the point! All these other natural hair gurus are so confusing.

[@tiffanyedwards5502]

I just want to report that I did this exact method and my hair was so soft moisturized and manageable the next day....tfs

[@Jasminesim18]

Did you use a leave in? Cuz in the video she doesn't show her using a leave in

[@tiffanyedwards5502]

I didn't add a leave in either

[@twdjt6245]

This is THE simplest wash routine I've ever seen for natural hair....not to mention the products used aren't even expensive or hard to find.....and it obviously works since your hair has grown SO much since your last video I saw which was the flat ironing video. What I'm currently doing is way more complicated & takes way too long, so Ima give this a try for a few months. Even if my hair grows at the same rate as what I'm currently doing, that would be a major win in my opinion when you consider all the time & money saved. Maybe less is more when it comes to washing and detangling.

[@aprilall-natural8422]

She handled the hell out of that type 4 hair and did it so effortlessly 😍😍😍

[@desirrejones261]

Notice how she is not using any high end products not a cream or custard not a milk or damn tea. Natural hair products are fairly new to the market she is proof you shouldn't be paying ten dollars for a damn shampoo.. or that's just me I think...my cheap ass lol

[@flyclassychill]

LOL hell naw it ain't just you! I feel the EXACT same way

[@Stevie66ful]

Facts

[@MervKamuanya]

Girl whaat?! Your hair HAS GROWN!!!!!!!!!!

[@bny9082]

IKR? I had to watch last years wash day vid to make sure i werent dreaming!!

[@eggy1225]

I love that you use the most inexpensive products and your hair looks beautiful. It goes to show that the price of the product doesn't matter.

[@BuffyunaTV]

Right! She's like a breath of fresh air from all the strict finger comb only, no poo shea curls naturals!

[@Sunshine4]

I was surprised too with the super cheap products. Though a part of me wishes she would use black owned products. Oh well, do your thing!!!

[@TheLordsPrecious]

I'm a firm believer in keeping things simple. It's worked for me. Not discounting the "quality" of the pricier products, but I honestly don't think it's *necessary* for healthy and/or long hair.

[@tristanwebb2987]

I learned that when I purchased Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie .. it was all the rave a must have.. mmmaaaannnn my hair was like wait... wwhhuutttt...ugh... hated it.. porosity plays a huge part ... wish I had known that sooner.. it would have saved me some time and money.. either way.. this video was great

[@SilviaDwomoh7]

Yep! Our hair can look beautiful even with the simplest products! in my wash routine i used a simple shampoo and Aussie 2min conditioner! that's all !

[@lovemanier.6172]

I love watching wash day routines it's soothing

[@danas881]

It so is 😌 Why is that ?? lol GOD bless you sis 💕✌🏾️

[@lovemanier.6172]

lol Thanks!

[@chasingshores]

Hair porn babeh! lol

[@bria1448]

LoveManie Rene Me too I thought I was the only one 😭😭

[@3xinarow990]

LoveManie Rene it's soothing when your not the one doing it

[@Rone554]

Black people are blessed with such beautiful hair!!

[@iMadameJay]

Your hair looks so healthy! You are doing such a great job!

[@Tiondra]

Your hair grew a lot!!!

[@hazell1593]

I was going to say the same thing. It also seems to have gotten a lot thicker as well. So lovely!

[@Tiondra]

Yeeessss, it looks great!! I'm still waiting for mine to grow long enough to rock a good bun and here she is flaunting TWO, lol.

[@emeraldb4788]

your hair has grown a lot yass boo x

[@keishaward8277]

ikr lol

[@cougarangel123]

I KNOW!!!! I remember back in the day how much shorter it was, so amazing im impressed

[@tammym1104]

I tried this last night and the process was so quick! it didn't dry completely by the next day but it was so much more manageable and I easily put it in a bun that was nice and detangled. I will definitely keep using this method. thank you x

[@thechicnatural]

Love to hear that!

[@Deedles99]

“This definitely doesn’t have to be a perfect part” *proceeds to make a near perfect part with her fingers*

[@anika.c1063]

Idk how many times I've watched this

[@Kryztal]

The Best Damn Wash Routine On KZbin 😍

[@mkelem485]

And simplest!

[@tristanwebb2987]

now that's what I'm talking about... its so much simpler my gawd.. the layering of products for moisture retention is eeeeeehhhhh... just eeehhhhhh... this is a must try right here

[@SilviaDwomoh7]

Exactly!! thats how i wash my hair :) gonna share soon hopefully!! Love the end results!!

[@Dyne_Dynasty]

Like seriously. The best I've seen.

[@RiverSweffer]

ikr she made it look so easy

[@spongebobgirlfriend]

Your hair looks so...obedient my hair be like nah

[@TheLordsPrecious]

Bhahaha! Girl....*high five* ... I'm sitting here thinking, "Why can't you be like that? The ChicNatural's hair don't fight her and cut up. Over here embarrassing me..." Lol.

[@AlwaysTheEssence]

me too! the fact that she could wash her hair without sectioning it off and still had no knots. AND no deep conditioner or leave-in?!?! #lifeisnotfair lol.

[@cherisereadsxo]

Hahaha yesss

[@LexiDarcel]

Right! Which is exactly why I cut a majority of mine off lol

[@shinaevans1549]

+Trinican Bee omg y'all speaking the truth!! 😂💯

[@alwaysfantabulous]

Not only the "BEST" wash routine on youtube, the easiest!!👏👏

[@BridgitteMonique]

Just tried this exact wash routine on Sunday and let me tell you.... the title of this video is beyond accurate! the best ever... thank you for this. I've been natural for 5 years and i don't know how I never thought of this but I'm glad you did! Lol

[@thechicnatural]

Glad to help! It's amazing what keeping it simple can do!

[@HerAvenueCo]

I gotta try this ponytails braids thing for sure! 👌🏾

[@TheLordsPrecious]

Right? And something about it was just so cute to me ^.^ Maybe not in public...on a grown woman...and then again, lol #Rebel #BreakingRules #TheAudacity #ThenAgain #MaybeNot #okdone

[@keishaward8277]

Best wash day ever i watch some wash days on youtube they always put to many products in there hair and am like shampoo condition done lol

[@kthename08]

😂

[@keishaward8277]

right

[@rocsanerobinson]

True! I see a lot of videos where people be using a lot of products and doing a lot. But it can get done right even with just a simple routine like this one!

[@sunninailsx]

right 😂😂

[@DollyDramas]

This is EXACTLY how I wash my hair. Shampoo, Condition, Detangle, Braid it up in sections, let it dry over night, take it down the next day, OIL MY SCALP, and style how I want! People swear you have to do other crazy extra stuff. I would call that a PAMPER hair routine NOT a basic wash day routine. Wash day should be quick and easy. Pamper routine should have more extra steps

[@blusherblush1212]

I watched this video on Wednesday (21st September 2016) I tried this technique on Friday (23rd Sept 2016) and today saterday ,my hair is so soft and manageable! thank you soooooo much @thechicnatural I have really corse (I think 4c) hair ! this technique is 🔥

[@thechicnatural]

Anytime!! 😀

[@jacienz]

Girl you've finally found yourself 'the routine' - your hair has grown so much since January. i'm going to try your routine.

[@kiyanaevans7889]

Do you have a hair growth video? I want my hair full and healthy just like yours😍

[@kiyaramiddleton6573]

same! my hair is growing kinda slow and I would like to get to grow a little faster

[@s.d2441]

I was just about to ask the same thing 😊

[@nomD38]

I was thinking didn't she just shaved the back of her hair off and her hair grew back that quickly :-) We need to know her hair growth secrets ASAP.

[@angelac2228]

+nick wrgordon She is a vegan. That may have something to do with it.

[@delindawilliams3935]

+nick wrgordon I was saying the same about her hair cut. I used to have to keep chopping because of hair falling out massive,but I think the quick growth is in my genes,plus excellent care,I think it's the same for her. I stopped looking for length 2 months after my chop in 2014,now almost pass my bra strap.(my daughter/my hairdresser was checking) Don't set yourself up for disappointments. Do your part and just enjoy your hair,it will surprise you. God bless.

[@DamiTitiOke]

But can we get a tutorial on the double bun tho 🤔🤔👀👀

[@_Summer.]

Yes please!!!

[@shayshanell3195]

yes a tutorial please :)

[@9009Cynthia]

SimplyZ I read that as double chin 💀

[@CinemaDoll137]

Tried this method twice already and it has made my washing routine so much easier. It takes longer but my hair is thankful.

[@adelineproverbs3139]

I can't believe she's using v05. I've spent mad money on Shea moisture, miss Jessy, as I am etc..

[@alexiswilliams4959]

she sectioned off her braid with the conditioner rinsed her hair without taking the braids dwn. clever. that was the best part.✊✊✊✊

[@PimpDaddyCeee]

My hair does not respect me. it would still be damp the next day... and probably the day after that lol

[@kayw.4991]

Just revisiting this video to say thank you!!!! This wash routine has been a game changer in my natural hair journey! I swear by it and I recommend this video to all my natural friends that ask me for hair tips

[@Rollinprettyllc]

I love that you have beautiful hair and use affordable products at the same time. it's hard when you see KZbinrs who use $30 products that average people can't splurge on like that all the time.or they say they like a product just based on endorsements.

[@SDeeze]

V05 the truth and affordable. I use vo5 clarifying shampoo, vo5 moisturizing shampoo then follow up with vo5 moisturizing conditioner as my regimen!

[@bricbrac28]

yup or I use suave, the cheaper brands really work

[@tristanwebb2987]

I have to try these I spend so much on shampoo and conditioners..its crazy I know I'm not the only one that run through conditioners like its free

[@dreamergirlbaby]

My favorite cheap conditioner is Aussie moist

[@Kelenerz]

+dreamergirlbaby their 3 minute miracle conditioner is the goat

[@SDeeze]

yes it is!!!!!

[@kaylaollivierre6952]

Finally someone who uses affordable products and not all those expensive money making companies 😂 this is such a simple awesome washday 😍

[@tamikoblake8531]

I did this on my wash day and my hair was super soft, tangle free by the time i was ready to style it....love, love love, it and have 4c hair..Thank you.

[@mellowmartita]

For a person that has tangled/puffy roots like me this is literally genius....

[@kamjakarta]

Eat healthy and be consistent on your hair routine. Vo5 of all products??? LOL I'm done giving my money to those expensive natural products!

[@3bonyhehe]

Right lol !

[@rainydaze1502]

Her being Vegan might have something to do lol. Most of the things she eats would be fruits and veggies which provide tons of nutrients.

[@TheQuella]

Lol I can't believe her regimen is V05 with such beautiful hair.

[@shaterrathorne9039]

You make it look sooo easy

[@shaterrathorne9039]

My hair isn't as long but I will definitely be trying this method. I want that brush also

[@Meeynz]

I practically forgot you had an undercut.

[@thechicnatural]

You and me both! 😂

[@TheeLaurenOLauren]

Girl your hair has GROWN SO MUCH!!!! I love it

[@shalakamoton3819]

😍😍😍 I've been following you for so long now and it is crazy to have been on this journey with you. Your hair is so long, healthy, and beautiful ❤️

[@shinaevans1549]

I was thinking the same thing..☺️

[@UniqueNailz]

Yes! Your hair grew so fast!!!

[@shanteelbelieve987]

I love how in this video and the other with the Aussie Moist. She uses normal products we all have tried before the huge natural attraction. Like Whitney uses Trader Joe's tea tree very affordable so you can use as much as you want with out really breaking your pockets. I love that about you. And your style!

[@SimplyTasheena]

This is the best wash day routine I've seen on KZbin!!

[@ladyhottness29]

Why does it seem like none of these natural hair youtubers have hard to detangle hair. Neither does my sister and her hair is much kinkier than mine. I can have my hair over slathered in conditioner with a lot of slip and still struggle to detangle it. I feel like my hair is like no other lol. I feel so alone in this struggle.

[@oihcam22]

I thought I was the only one. 😭 no matter how much conditioner I put in my hair it's still hard to detangle. I would think it's because I have 4c hair, but 4c naturals on KZbin can still detangle their hair easily as long as they put enough conditioner in it.

[@lexigloup2284]

I found that finger detangling works wonders for me and also try a hot oil treatment along either before or after a deep conditioning.

[@ladyhottness29]

Yeah I don't get it. My sister's hair is 4c too. One time I watched her detangle her hair and It was like child's play. I had to call her a jerk LOL. But I guess that proves that tighter curl patterns doesn't mean it's harder to detangle than looser curl patterns. But then what makes one's hair more difficult to detangle than others? It's a mystery lol.

[@ladyhottness29]

Alexia Brown That sounds like a good idea. Thanks. I haven't had a hot oil treatment since the beginning of time lol.

[@ladyhottness29]

+oihcam22 If it wasn't for me seeing my sis detangle so easily I would have thought that these youtubers were deceiving us by pre-detangling their hair b4 filming their detangling process lol.

[@BuffyunaTV]

Finally, a natural who uses a brush/comb!! I could never just finger detangle

[@ALittleLikeLisa]

Love how simple your routine is!

[@JaneNashe]

OMG you are so beautiful with or without makeup. Love your hair

[@mshellokittylover1635]

She was too cute with the double buns. I can't resist the cuteness. :)

[@mshellokittylover1635]

P.S. I am rocking my double buns too

[@kenhay75]

I like to wear them too.

[@junkfoodvegan]

Her going vegan proably acceleration her hair growth and retention

[@mschari1484]

More like genetics..... Meat eaters have long hair too

[@misseydj123]

Her going vegan definitely helped. Of course meat eaters have long hair too, but it's about giving your body the best nutrients from within for it to show on the outside as well. Fruits, veggies, and tons of water works wonders lol

[@kaylatb05]

protective styling too

[@kaylatb05]

A healthy well balanced diet, whether vegan or not would accelerate hair growth as your providing your body with more nutrients. From what I see she eats very well, there are many vegans that don't have a diet high in fruits and vegetables but primarily complex carbs, causing them to be nutrient deficient. So being vegan alone is not a factor.

[@misseydj123]

Kaylzz Complex carbs consist of many fruits and veggies....You do know that that will not make you nutrient deficient right? Brown rice, Broccoli, Strawberries, Kidney beans, Chick peas, potatoes, etc will definitely be beneficial for you. Majority vegans also eat much more than complex carbs btw.

[@courtneysthomas596]

I love she takes her time and enjoys the process of washing her hair. I will make sure I do from now on.

[@MsMalexis]

Thank you SO much for this video! This is the first time I've watched a vid featuring someone with my hair texture simplify a wash routine. Simple, easy and straight to the point.

[@94MaryO]

Your hair has grown so much! It's so full and healthy, your undercut grew so fast as well.

[@TheLordsPrecious]

This was so simple. Loved it! Your hair detangled so easily (I peeped that V05; I used to live for the Strawberry N' Cream, lol). I wish my hair would behave like that, haha. Great method - I'm almost sold on that brush. Will consider this for the future. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Your hair looks great.Nice and healthy. Also, when you showed those four styles, you looked like Nia Long in that top right pic - both gorgeous women.

[@TheLordsPrecious]

Suddenly feel like washing my hair, lol.

[@kiana7832]

Hands down the best wash routine I've ever seen so simple and straight to the point, Love it ! Thanks for this

[@RCIYAH]

This is almost what u do the last year except the braided sections during the condition process. I noticed when i was doing my 1 yr protective style challenge with extensions in (a weeks break in between), i had no choice but to shampoo and condition my roots only, and my hair thrived the most!! I get so excite when you post about your hair because i look up to you an your hair routine is on point!! WELL DONE! You're beautiful inside and out :-) Your scalp is just like mines! It's lighter than our face hehe ;D

[@RCIYAH]

Rukzbliss mohz ;-)

[@jjk8041]

girl your hair GREWWWWWW

[@mstoini]

This method really works for my hair! I have to do 8 sections though to make sure it somewhat dries by the next day but still works! That brush really does help! Thank you!

[@pinkgoddess_777]

wow your hair has grown so long and healthy!!I remember your first wash day video,it taught me about stretching.Keep up the good work,I absolutely love your videos!!

[@Devidee05]

I love this wash and go vid! Since watching it I've started doing it....2 weeks now. I made a DIY shampoo from black soap tho and I've always used VO5 conditioner. So cheap!! No need for expensive products. My favorite part is conditioning and then just leaving it to dry in my plaits. You're the best!! 😍

[@Tylorgirl22]

This wash routine has changed my life!! Thank you

[@_kassideemalea]

i swear you have the best youtube channel

[@venska1234]

You are AWSOME! I'm on a natural hair journey and I've been watching tons of video daily ( I'm a stay at home mom) and I must say you and lisaalamode are the ones inspiring me to move forward with my decision with confidence. You guys are so versatile and stylish that from watching you 2, I know for a fact that I'm making the right decision and I'm spook EXCITED! Thank you so much and Thanks a million!

[@caylalikescats]

i've been watching your channel since it started pretty much but i took a break from youtube and coming back to see this much growth especially since your last wash day routine video is crazy

[@platosklozet]

your hair has grown and it is growing beautifully

[@vennesalanuta7606]

Omg your hair has grown so much! 😍🙌🏾

[@earla-ashleemassiah4649]

I DEFINITELY will be doing this on my next wash day! I used your older method with the twists and the results were AMAZING !!!

[@prettyyhustler]

wow, I've been watching you since the beginning and your hair def has made a tremendous transition! I love it girl !

[@rachel6ix]

I tried this and it's def. gonna be my fall/winter wash routing while i'm not wearing wash and gos. So so so simple and only took me like 20 minutes on extremely shrunken and tangled hair so I already know the next time I do this after wearing my hair in a bun it'll be even simpler.

[@AshaSharron]

The ending omg those double buns ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm so in love

[@ImPerfectlyTwitta]

LOVE THAT PROCESS! Close to what I do. Especially in the winter. The process goes A LOT faster when you go into Wash Day with a Step-By-Step plan. I learned that the hard way.

[@BRITTKNORMAN]

THANK YOU for this video and the Blowout video. I did the same steps and I finally have control over my hair and it's stretched amazingly for all my styles. I am soo grateful. No need for blow dryers anymore to stretch. 🖤

[@MsJai2008]

look at all that hair girl....it has grown so darn much.

[@MsJai2008]

Lmbo you know what's funny I saw this picture on you IG..I was like can you make a video and what kind of hair did you use. all alone it was your own hair Lmbo smh anyways it look very pretty... you've helped with growing my hair out. I use some of your styles and techniques. especially with washing. I was too excited and started using heat to see how long it grew. that was a mistake no heat damage but I saw my hair breaking. so I'm complelwty done with heat....

[@teebaby1978ify]

yes i can't wait for my hair to grow out this long! beautiful

[@kiaclark4549]

I love how you don't use expensive products and the routine is so simple! Plus I've struggled with how to air dry my hair, thanks for the tips!

[@LovingJourdan]

Yaaaay your routine is working for you! Hair has seriously grown❤️

[@sjlewis271]

I just did this technique and I'm officially hooked. thank you so much for sharing!

[@thechicnatural]

You're welcome Stephany!

[@twodelicious4u]

Did all your conditioner rinse out?

[@sjlewis271]

Netty Boop Yeah...

[@nigerianhurr90]

Black women are so diverse and beautiful. Natural hair videos always make my day better

[@cxcainekillz]

i love how you don't use super expensive products and your routine is really easy to do. For some reason I use to think I had to use so many products so my hair could grow and be healthy but now I don't think that. Thank you so much, your hair is gorgeous😘

[@sxybrownsuga4999]

Awwww...your hair is sooo pretty and healthy!!! Nice routine and the buns were super cute! Thanks for sharing!

[@PiecesofNika]

Great routine! I am def gonna try the braided ponytail method!! Love the double buns and that true grit lippy! Cute!!! xoxo

[@SuperIndia18]

Great results love!

[@ohzoe36]

I really love all your methods it’s really refreshing 😩💕

[@kiarrasquare7842]

I used this method today and when I tell you, my hair was so manageable! God bless your beautiful soul for sharing this video! Thank you!

[@msbkay]

this is my wash routine. anything else...my hair will fight me rentlessly until im sitting on the floor with scissors. lol my hair is platted as i type this! i use a denman brush and has worked well but i have been looking at this brush bc my hair has grown alot and its super thick so i feel like i need a wider hefty brush. thanks for sharing! your hair has grown so much!

[@naecummings6200]

that stretching technique is about to become my best friend!!

[@australialashonta7774]

Girl you did your thing, So helpful👐💆‍♀️

[@marquiaboykin8003]

your style is so unique....I don't really watch ur channel but every time I do...I want more...lol...your hair has grown alot! Great job, keep it up!

[@MimiIman]

Your hair grew so much, I used to use your older technique of stretching your hair but my roots would be too puffy and it was hard for me to style but I found a new technique that I'm using my my hair is still short. Once mines get to your length I'm going to definitely give this a try.

[@MimiIman]

*since

[@minimalassembly7893]

What technique is working for you?

[@MimiIman]

I use perm rods, I'll probably make a video next week when I wash my hair showing how I specifically do it

[@AwlaboutTee]

Kim your hair grew so much!!! I still remember your big chop vid!

[@jaa0712]

This was the best video ever! I have never used this product and it made my hair so manageable! And this routine is so bomb.

[@erickajohnson3800]

I just want to say thank you for sharing your hair washing routine video and it truly is the best! It has truly blessed me. I have been natural for about 4 years and have a really hard time washing and conditioning my hair. I have used this routine twice now, stress free!! Wash, Condition and stretch all in one! I am not in the shower as long either! Thank you and God Bless!!!

[@uniglor]

Why didn't I ever think of rinsing out in braids though, saves so much time. Gurl got me feeling like taking this weave off and washing my hair with no drama😂😂

[@shinyjewelsz]

You really should do more natural hair videos! I really enjoy them! :)

[@KodakkMomentt]

Your hair has grown soo much. I love it

[@B3autifullLanny]

I've been subscribed for quite awhile now and omgoodness! your hair has grown so much! It looks amazing and really really healthy

[@Asanderson1213]

How you just not gone show the buns

[@NaturallyKayD]

I love how simple your routine is. Do you ever deep condition? If so, will you create a deep conditioning routine video? Thanks in advance!

[@CMo-ym1ed]

I absolutely love your method!! And your hair is beautiful!!

[@itracynicolette]

girl i'm speechless, i'm sooo here for this!!!
