Summer Wash Routine that Grew My hair in High School!

[@DefineMorena]

Yeah I didn't realise my hair could get properly defined until last year when I actually looked in the mirror while washing it.

[@MyeshaB]

I've been natural for over 15 years and it's only in the last 7 years did I realize I have a curl/coil pattern. I think not looking in the mirror also came in to play. Also, 10 years ago there were not many type 4 naturals wearing their curl pattern out.

[@renelethug241]

I saw my curl pattern for the first time a month ago😂😂 ive been natural almost all my life and im 21

[@sonatashinome4672]

Same, and I remember the time I had left in gel and curling activator in my hair, when it came to washing it in hot/warm water it *defined* my curls. Looking back I should’ve have known I was low porosity. I need to try the LCO method in defining my hair and see what happens

[@MyeshaB]

@@sonatashinome4672 it's a lovely realization, the very first time is when I did a warm coconut milk w bentonite clay hair mask about 7 years ago. The curls/coils did not stay when dry, but I remember in that moment I was on to something.

[@7lawaneeena]

@@MyeshaB do u feel like coconut milk is a good moisturizing deep conditioner ?

[@ElegantPaws01]

Succinct version - use products that perform for you 1. Prepoo with oil of choice cover with plastic to reinforce warmth 2. Wet hair applies shampoo wash 3. Deep condition use plastic bag again after 30 minutes rinse 4. Use smoothie of choice 4.

[@Ducky190]

watching this while preepooing with a hot oil treatment😜👌in the beginning natural hair can seem like a huge task but after some time and plenty of patience it will just be another part of selfcare. I treat wash day as spa day. Girl I preepoo, do a sugar scrub, manicure and pedicure. It's only one day out of the week so I take my time and enjoy my self and make it all about me. That's what my wash days mean to me 😊 I use design regis olive oil masque, texture id deep moisture treatment masque, and head and shoulders the royal oils masque for deep conditoners. All are affordable for me and get the job done. Every once in a while I will try something new but hey of it works it works. Also the melanin haircare line. My hair soaks it up and loves the ingredients. Love it. Iove heavy products as well. I too have fine coily kinky hair. Thick smoothies, creams and butters my hair loves. Garnier has this amazing curl and treat smoothie and hair butter my hair loves coconut anything sooo I love those two products as well.

[@aquafina6544]

Try Africa pride prepoo? Its a game changer. It will melt your tangles like butter on hot toast. My hair used to tangle hella crazy back in the day and my strands were thick. But as I've gotten older, I have fine strands and it doesn't tangle as much bcus i tend to keep it in twists and i use aloe vera juice instead of water and it keeps my cuticles down. I have a suggestion for you: try to detangle with a conditioner or after you dc or TRY the African pride prepoo? Its a game changer bcus you just slather it on dry hair and your tangles melt. ITS EXTREMELY affordable and your tresses will SING as the tangles slide on out.

[@cockyretrospect4085]

I've tried it! I do like it, but I tend to gravitate towards a conditioner to detangle. I didn't mention in the video but I did detangle with a conditioner, I just prefer to part my hair dry and then add product. But the african pride pre poo is definitely a great option!

[@lbu9542]

Wow I never heard of this product. Thanks for sharing!

Yeeessss to the AP Pre poo, smells Great too

[@AmandaD33]

Where is it located for purchase? Walmart? Target? Beauty supply? I never seen it

I use the African pride prepoo too.I add a little olive oil to it.

[@aniyaedwards8996]

Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie is LIFE on my 4c hair! Been using it for years. My hair loved the old formula and still loves the newly changed formula. Both formulas feels exactly the same on my hair, except the old one was a little more thicker, oilier and the nostalgic smell was stronger. Now, the same smell is more mild, less oily and a tiny bit looser. But, other than that it still works. (Along with water and raw shea butter). It smells amazing, leaves hair soft, keeps it moisturized for days and helps me retain length. Thanks, SM!

[@biabia9181]

Our texture looks similar. I can’t imagine dealing with my hair when it’s this long 😩 I better get used to short hair lol

[@healwithmusic93]

Me toooo!

[@rachelm.3173]

I'm early! I still love the Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie. I recently just did a second big chop, but when my hair was longer I used it in place of gel to put my hair back or up in puffs.

[@cockyretrospect4085]

Ahh glad it still works for you! ❤️Looks like its a keeper

[@curlynella1011]

My hair never gets that tangled. Better for me in the shower and untangled in like 2 minutes or 3 depending on the style. Also I wash weekly. Not boasting, just know it can be different for type 4s💯

[@quietstormaps]

With being as careful as you are with detangling, do you ever accidently break a hair or two during the process? I ask because my hair tangles easily and I cringe when I snap a strand with being really careful.

[@harryskittyz]

Yeah, that happens all the time with my hair... it's pretty inevitable. If your hair is similar to hers, I would keep it stretched as much as possible.

[@Tay-lu3nx]

Your hair is so beautiful!! Almost as beautiful as you :)

[@mommymj9529]

That was sweet😊😊

[@vastya.3255]

i use hair grease and it works amazing for my moisture retention, definition, and length retention, it minimizes my single strand knots and detangling is way easier :) i have fine dense 4c hair with some 4b. high porosity, it works the same for my low porosity sister and mother with coarse strands!

[@marsbarsinthestars3226]

Do you do a hot oil treatment every wash or every few weeks. I wanna start doing them but dunno how often i should? Does it take place of a deep conditioner?

[@cockyretrospect4085]

I do them every few weeks really. I have dry scalp so they really help with that. I should do them more often but yea, do them really as you see fit. I wouldn't say they take the place of deep conditioning at all though, but you can apply a deep conditioner first then add oil to your scalp and strands if you want to combine the two, works alright for me that way!

For cheap good deep conditioners you should try the africas best hair mayonaise ($3.97) for a protein treatment and the aussie miracle moist/7 in 1 miracle (2.97) for moisture. I've tried both and they worked really well for me🙂

How did you grow your edges back? I’m currently struggling with thinning edges

[@cockyretrospect4085]

So sometimes the damage can be undone, but sometimes it can't. I wen't to a dermatologist and she let me know my follicles weren't damaged so the hair would eventually grow back. She gave me a steroid injection once but I hate needles and couldn't get myself to keep going back for them. So I tried rogaine for a month soon after that, which did help in conjunction with applying stimulating oils like vitamin e, rosemary, and peppermint. I only apply oils now but will definitely try to keep up with the follicle cream. Like I mentioned, my hair on the right is still thinner than the other side but all that really helped!

[@yani2668]

CockyRetrospect thank you. I’ll start by visiting a dermatologist office

[@_jadaxoxo]

CockyRetrospect Which rogaine did you use & can you apply it to areas where there is no hair loss or does it only work if you have hair loss?

How do you keep your hair moisturized/hydrated between washes. I deep condition every time I wash my hair and my feels moisturized for a couple days but by the time it’s time to wash ( I wash once a week) it’s dry. And I’m noticing breakage on some of my strands. Like, other than deep conditioning and wearing a satin scarf at night what else is there to do???

[@chanela.7786]

If u have breakage u might wanna use a protein treatment (aphogee is really good) and then follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner

Chanel A. I’ve done that too and it’s helped in the past but recently, it hasn’t been doing much except making my hair dry (like there’s too much protein).
