Natural Hair for BEGINNERS - How to start taking care of your hair

Great advice!! I need to get back to the basics. Thank you.

Been in the natural hair game for 12 years now. I think one of the most important thing I've learned is not doing my hair when I'm tired, in a rush or upset. You have to be GENTLE with your hair. Hair is not chain links. You'd be surprised how rough and hasty you are with your hands when you are not in a good headspace. *But let's talk about your glowing skin tho😁*

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

Yes, that's so true. My wash day process is 2 hrs ith the 3 steps i do( shampoo 1x, condition for 5 mins, and deep conditon with heat for 30 mins, then cold rinse for 5 mins) and my final step is detangle, moisturize and seal then style it up so it can last the rest of the week or 4 days. Somebody said that was too much. I'm like....... no it's not! usually my wash day is set on a day i look forward too and don't have nothing else to do and got going on and hope don't pop up on that day. Them two hrs i cater to my hair give it TLC that it need and deserve.

[@dariapio1502]

So true!

[@kiki1573]

@@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149 That's right Gabbie you got it!😁 Whoever told you your routine is too much doesn't know what they're talking about because your routine is actually light and simple. My wash days consumes most of my day.

[@mayfia]

I think the most important things I've learned from my natural hair journey is, - Your hair is not theirs - To learn to read ingredients and know what they do rather than watching to see if the product works for someone else. - The first 5 ingredients is what the product has the most of.

I'm not really new. I just need a lazy routine😭

[@cfoster6804]

Girl, same!

[@takeshiadavis]

1 wash a week Water moisturizing or hair milk and then oil🤷🏾‍♀️ my lazy routine 😂😂🤗

[@daisyflower1545]

My lazy routine is cowash weekly, then leave in, then gel. I detangle with my leave in. Without the gel it takes an hour, with the gel it takes 2. You can skip the gel. I shampoo & DC once a month. Just make sure you use a cowash that actually cleanses and you should be good

Very helpful.I've been natural all my life except for that one time I texturied my hair after Form 5 for Graduation.Didn't like it so grew out my hair and cut off the straightener.I had a terrible dandruff problem for years so the hair stylist recommended doing a treatment every two weeks.I thought the money I'd have to put out bi monthly and discovered the whole natural hair community and all these vids.Really helped,dandruff gone and my hair has grown a lot since then-from about chin length to about mid back now. ALL GLORY TO JESUS :) I've come a long way but I feel lost lol. Learnt a whole lot but never really developed a proper hair care regimen so doing some research.Your vids are incredibly helpful.Thanks much.Gives me the info and confidence to take care of this hair God has blessed me with.

She is the truth guys. Since watching her videos and learning from her my hair is super healthy and has grown past my shoulders. It's easier to manage and twists like magic. The routine is a crucial part of healthy hair.

[@MR-xf8xg]

This video is for beginners--it's right there in the title! :) I'm sure most of us know someone who would benefit from this video. Not to mention, just bec we are not beginners doesn't mean we are doing everything right for our hair. I certainly learned something new just now and I've been natural for almost 30 years. Glad I watched and will recommend.

[@agbk2189]

I am transitioning so this was very helpful. I relaxed my hair for over 30 years and decided to stop doing it because of the hair loss and the lack of CARE stylist/beauticians were giving my hair. I relied on them heavily to keep my hair healthy but times have changed and it's all about their change $$$$$$. I love your videos so keep them coming.

[@alexislashae714]

I’m thirteen years old and I just started trying to really take care of my hair during quarantine and I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.Ive done a lot of research and I have found out that o have low porosity hair and it my hair sheds a lot and I’ve been trying rice water for about a month now and it’s not working.Also I can’t find any gel that would slick down my hair and have absolutely no clue where to start!Im starting to think Ima be bald head forever😭

[@PRETTYWYV]

TheLexiShow sometimes gels can dry out your hair and if you’re wearing ponytails or buns, it can cause tension on your edges which might make them break. If you haven’t already checkout videos on how to make flaxseed gel (moisturizer - won’t dry your hair) or even using a heavier butter to lay flyaways and frizz (Shea/castor oil). Have fun on your journey!!!

[@justaperson4039]

same

[@trishasiimwe.]

I feel you Lexi, there us a time i sed rice water and it totally didnt work. You can try something else but gel might dry your hair

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

Okay big tip, ignore every single video/trend/advice on how to get growth fast, because there's always something new, and three years later you'll still be where you started or worse. Focus on advice that teaches out to keep the ends of your hair on your head, because that's where length retention mostly happens. Focus on the health of your scalp and hair. I think the most important thing is the thickness of your individual strands, a lot of advice/styles/low manipulation ideas can become destructive for fine strands, Curl type, porousity, density are mildly helpful or not at all. Oh and when you get to shoulder length, put your hair up in not too tight updos, most people's hair isn't being retained past their shoulders because they're running against clothes and fabric wearing their hair down and out and over months and years that sucks moisture and grates their inches away.

I really like that you say you have to love your hair to take proper care of it. I've been natural for 3 years and I've noticed that the only times I've cause dramatic damage to my hair is when I was unhappy with it and wanted it to be something it wasn't.

[@sherribryant7934]

Thanks for taking time to post this. I agree your channel is the best and most educational out there.for many year I had no relaxer and only flat ironed my hair. Then when I decided to not flat iron I couldn’t understand why it was so dry until I watched one of your videos about kinky curly hair and sebum not being able to slide down so easily. I also learned the importance of deep conditioning and real protein treatments. Please keep sharing.😊

My washday is about an hour and a half at most. A little shorter if is co-wash. Twisting my hair takes about two hours. I use the L.O.C method to re-moisturize and L.O method in between. Been natural for 10 years but only started taking care of my hair seriously for four years. Better late than never.

I'm a year in and I don't think I've been very consistent with my routine tbh. Thanks for the wash day tips.

Your videos have been my dictionary lately, I am searching something different every day and there's such a wealth of information Thank you, and this is definitely telling me to always share what I know with others, that's how we grow better. Thank you.

[@yardofshe]

I'm here from a black british afro doc I watched. This was super helpful, I've taken from it that I should find a consistent hair washing routine and to moisturise consistently. I'm super curious about heatless stretching and the types of moistures to use. I've never been able to grow my hair into a thick luscious afro like my sisters. it's a cute afro but still very fine, it's also at that awkward stage of not being long or short but it doesn't want to seem to grow more so I look forward to learning more.

Stretching your hair is great for length retention but, not necessary for those who are not interested in length retention.

I have a looser texture than her beautiful and kinky 4C crown, but we're still not sure the best way to stretch it. Her roots are always tightly coiled when she does twists while the ends her hair is more stretched. Super excited to show her the video!
