WASH DAY ROUTINE | LONG 4C NATURAL HAIR

Aww thank you! I’ve actually been natural for 10 years but you’re right: the first year was pretty rough so it probably shouldn’t count 😝

[@Zania16ify]

@@NaturallyHigh Wonderful! I am 4 years 4c natural... this is so exciting to see the growth progress! Don't give up lol I'm already so exhausted at the amount of work I do on my own hair, can't exactly imagine right now what 10 years of hair growth would look like. Take care.

@@NaturallyHigh sigh. Good to know this wasn't overnight growth but a process.

[@leekeene5889]

This is crazy! The amount of black women I'm seeing on KZbin with hair this length. 4/b,c at that. If it wasn't for KZbin I'd have NO idea. The first time I thought it was possible was my early teens. My best friend, her mom, aunty, sister and cousins hair were ALL to mid back and past. And they weren't mixed. They all were deep dark GORGEOUS compexions. It blew my mind because I never seen it. My family has quite a mixture of tones of black but on the lighter side to extremely pale. Our hair is maybe 4/a to b but our hair has never grew the length of my friends family. I now know it's because they took the time to give their hair TLC. My family full of gorgeous women, we're a tad bit more rough and rugged and didn't spend the time to tend to hair care as my friends family. You now see my family over the years giving more feminine care and love to ourselves so the length is there. But no one has 4/c. I'm seeing 4/c hair on KZbin straight showin out and clowinin!! 😘❤I'm all eyes and ears!!👀

[@kkongo3173]

You would still be disappointed needing almost the same amount of time for shorter hair. I big chopped last year due to damage and with my hair not even beyond schouler length, I still need a whole day, so it would have been only been shorter hair to work with and not less time for wash day

You retain your length so beautifully. Since my hair is 4b/c like yours, I said I would re-try washing my hair in twists...big mistake! No matter how many times I try, I get tangles galore, so now I just use the clips and twist after, lol. It's so nice to see you again.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Nicole Smith oh dear! Do you wash in fresh or old twists? Do you pre-poo abnd stretch them? If I did this on old twists and didn’t stretch them, I’d get knots too. Anyway, do what works best for you! I hope your routine is manageable.

[@Notagain44]

@@NaturallyHigh You know, they're always already in the old twists, so maybe that could be the culprit. Still, I love seeing your routines and pretty, healthy hair!

Try washing in braids! That’s what i do now because I would always get tangled when washing in twists as well

[@ayo_hitman_bang_introduces]

After realising I could wash my hair in twists, I've never turned back🤗 Anyways, I still use petroleum products and a sulphate clenser (along with a the creme of nature sulphate free shampoo that has been a great aid in detangling) in my hair routine. I almost exclusively use a hot oil treatment prior to washing to help with detangling as well. I used to condition before deep conditioning but I found it too hectic so that step was scrapped😋 Lastly, thank you for your amazing videos. I started using the trick of adding castor oil to my ends(when I remember ofcourse). It really helps.

[@dollbabydunni9468]

[@TinkerbellNJK4life]

I'm loving this channel so much! Seeing her be so gentle with her hair is truly inspiration. I could definitely stand to be a lot more patient with my hair. I have always been told that I am tender-headed and while that might be true, ever since I have been natural I have been very strict with who does my hair. I have avoided getting my hair done at salons for this reason. I am not one to sit in a chair with my head being yanked every which way. The process matters and this is proof!

[@tadno2127]

I now see what I’ve been doing wrong. I wash my hair in old twist and never prepoo. Thought the oils I had in already was enough of a prepoo. Will try this method next time.

[@NaturallyHigh]

Stacy Awino great! That’s exactly what I was going for.

[@JF-xj1hz]

As soon as water touches my hair the twist come out. I do prepoo and detangle before hand. What I've found is that there is too much manipulation if I aim to keep the twists in throughout the wash process. So now I start with my hair out detangled and only twist It at the D/C stage. One twist session = Less manipulation for me.

[@NaturallyHigh]

lollll.... You'll likely never be able to avoid SSKs completely but you can minimise them. Cutting of that amount likely got the majority of them. Now you can focus on changing your behaviour so you don't create more. Check out my video on SSks and incorporate those tips, plus the end-wrapping technique I've shown in this video to mitigate their formation. You don't necessarily need to cut all your hair off!
