WASH & GO on 4c Natural Hair (water only wash update)

[@123leahm]

What a 4C hair INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!! I've had 4C hair all of my life--and I've been natural for decades. I know this may sound crazy, but in all that time I never *looked* at my hair. LOL...I would braid it, plait it, twist it and I had locs for years. I only paid attention to the overall style I had my hair in, but I never took a close look at the curl pattern of the individual strands--until I started watching youtube videos. Now after I wash it, I actually look at it, admire it and love it. And it's all thanks to youtubers like you that are showing us how awesome it is to have this hair. 4C hair is beautiful!!! Thanks so much for sharing your hair with us...:)

[@thechoniclesofkratos]

I love this video because it shows that 4c hair can grow just as long as any other hair type.

[@TheLordsPrecious]

I think all Afro-textured hair (whatever you want to call it) has a curl pattern; it's just that not all have a *high* tendency to form clumps (visible, grouped up curls). I do think water-only washing as well as finger detangling cause curls to clump more... based on what I've seen and/or experienced. So glad this method is working for you. Your hair is beautiful.

[@kristalcole895]

Dreamed that I had long hair like yours years ago. I'm determined to get there. God is so good to have blessed you with such glory! You truly are an inspiration sis!

[@fuzzyspirals]

If you finger styled from your ends to the roots it would bring out your curl pattern more. That same motion you are doing on the ends take up to the roots as well while under the water. Thanks for sharing your journey. My hair is 3 inches long and I love this method. My coarse hair is so soft, clumpy, and beautiful. I can't believe for the past 500 years we thought our hair was so unmanageable.

[@palentologist]

Gosh your shrinkage is sooooooo real! OMG your hair touches your waist!

[@AseaMae]

Your hair looks exactly like marley hair! It is so gorgeous. I absolutely love it!!

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Your hair is unbelievably beautiful! It looks unreal!

[@DephneAviyah]

PrettyTiaF aww thank you so much x

[@meseknowsbest3144]

That shrinkage is crazy real my gosh

[@bubblesquirrelpooh]

+MeSe Knows Best Right! When she pulled her hair down I was so shocked. Did not expect that.

[@MsChicoro]

FABULOUS hair! It looks to me like you have lots and lots of curl. Because the texture is different, the curl pattern (definition) manifests differently. You've got hair like a beautiful doll. If there was a doll that looked like you with gorgeous hair like yours, I would buy it! Congratulations on finding another process that works for your lovely hair! Thank you for sharing with us. It is so much appreciated.

[@herlucidsky]

Your hair is amazing!!!! Such an inspiration. This should prove to many that less is always more. Products are fun and may serve their purpose but you don't need a truck load of them to attain and maintain healthy luscious hair. Also, I've always thought that 4c hair had the most curls hence the shrinkage but I guess they go unnoticed because they are incredibly tight and tiny.

[@DephneAviyah]

herlucidsky aww thanks sis for watching and your comments! Much love xx

[@darkrose8616]

+Dephne Madyara Whenever you do the water only washing. You have to add oils to the hair after. Plus increase multivitamins especially Silica, which strenghtened bones, nails and teeth. Blessings

[@bnaturallychic]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! And your love for God is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit with us :)

[@DephneAviyah]

bholmes87 aww thank you so much :-) blessings x

[@tiffanydrake1652]

I feel the same God bless xo

[@Baytaylove]

Great video....I've been water washing only for about 21/2 months and my hair as token on a whole new meaning....I'll never go back to store products..no hair products has every made my hair sooo soft and my stretching game is on 100.......😌😌

[@osimeon00]

Your hair is amazing! I was watching an Anthony Dickey video (he is a natural hair cosmetologist) and what he always does is add a boatload of conditioner to the hair to keep the curl while wet. I would love to see what that would look like with 4c hair. Maybe one day you could possibly show us?!

[@DephneAviyah]

osimeon00 hmm.. i will research on that, thanks for the info and for watching :-)

[@msfashionmyworld]

You and your hair is beautiful! Definitely proves there is no need for product junkieism.

[@feleciaredd5625]

Dephne, you are such a blessing to me. I used to believe my hair type was the most tender on earth and so prone to breakage and that's why I never saw anyone with my 4c with long hair. You were the first one I have seen and I so appreciate you teaching about caring for our beautiful 4c hair....and I absolutely love the length of your tresses...I want that for myself...so I am declaring it in the spirit and praising the Lord for it now...with expectation! Be blessed and Thanks again for sharing! Agape.

[@extrodinaryZ]

I want to say thank u sooo much for your videos. Ive been doing this method for 3 weeks after ur video and it is the best thing ive ever done... Thank u!

[@DephneAviyah]

Zena L-Dobryakov awesome and I'm so glad its going well for you honey! xx

[@HistoryHighwithLisaMarrie]

Your hair looks lovely and cool to see someone else who ties their hair in knots to hold it up lol. Thanks for sharing your journey I have been telling people for YEARS that all hair types with the proper moisture balance has a curl pattern. Thanks for the proof.

[@DephneAviyah]

thelmarrie thank you so much I'm so glad the video was of benefit much love xx

[@Rochelle_Ballah]

Every hair type from 3a-4c has a curl pattern...just that 4c curls are super fine

[@Mckduchess2013]

Coconut all is the best as it also prevents hygral fatigue (prevents your hair cuticles from swelling basically)

[@prhoductive]

Finally a REAL 4c natural offerings a helpful Wash and Go routine. I love it. Thank you!

[@prhoductive]

I'm EmeraldsR4ever, I just sent you a request on instagram. I'd love to follow your natural hair process.

[@lavernebradshaw8714]

Daphne you are amazing! Let God continue to use you! Your future is bright and there is greatness ahead of you! I love your demeanor your personality and that goes a long way with ministry!

[@jelly6023]

Thst shrinkage is crazy, shows how healthy your hair is!

[@NaturallyHigh]

This is a very insightful video! Do you have a lot of knotting afterwards?

[@foreverblessed7326]

This is what I call a wash n go! Not all the other wash n go's where you don't wash and go but have to apply a ton of products, rack the strands, air dry, diffuse then eventually go😂

[@krob9145]

+Forever Blessed The way she does it is how I do a wash and go too. No products needed except a little oil on the hair ends and that's optional. Since I finger detangle the hair clumps and I get the same results some have who have added a cocktail of stylers and gels put in using a lot of manipulation.

[@gegebaby83]

My favorite video so far! You and i have fairly similar hair texture and low porosity. I wanted to get away from so many products because a lot of things weren't working for me and i grew tired of wasting money looking for THE product(s). So i cut products off completely and decided to start over. I had to revisit the water only washing method again. Just started a few days ago....so i have a LONG way to go lol. i hope you continue to make more videos showing your process and progress. So far it looks beautiful. Blessings to you dear.

[@misssterling3094]

Dephne, you and your hair are lovely...you are encouraging so many ladies w/your faith and hair tips. Keep it up! :-)

[@luvpinkchic1453]

I'm getting more and more intrigued by this water only method...

[@leahgordon1472]

I agree with your regimen Dephne. I had begun just rinsing with water and moisturizing with just a light oil a while ago. Now seeing this I can stand with you that it really does increase the health in your hair. My shedding has diminished tremendously! :D

[@ash86marie]

what i like the most about you hair is that you dont have a curl pattern, you have kinks..i love it

[@hephzibahkabod6418]

Hello Dephne, please pray and believe God with me for my hair. I really desire long and healthy hair. I did the big chop on April 2 2015. Believe God with me to grow hair speedily , long and healthier than ever. I know that the hair is the woman's glory. And also our covering. Thank for being an inspiration. Im truly enjoying this journey.

[@kisakyerebecca1342]

am so excited i found you and all 4c hair inspiration plus praying for your hair is the best part thank you :)

[@Maritazism]

Your hair is divine. I'm tempted to give this a try.

[@haircandykina]

That shrinkage! Wow. Your hair looks nice and healthy. Have you ever tried the cherry lola treatment, clay wash, max hydration method etc? Also, what goals do you have for your hair?

[@DephneAviyah]

HairCandy Kina thank you for watching! I haven't tried those yet but the max is on my list to try :-) my goals at the moment are healthy hair and taking care of it in a time efficient way x

[@tamariouswilliams3046]

I think your hair is so cool and beautiful & im a 3c 4a girl! I really love your hair on you!!

[@DephneAviyah]

+Tamarious Williams thank you so much dear xx

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Your hair looks nice and healthy. If you are looking for more of your curl definition to come out, the water alone isn't really sufficient. Have you tried a natural curl definer like flaxseed or aloe vera gel? I find these to be very light but great at defining kinks. The coconut oil is great for sealing the moisture from the water in but doesn't really define the curls (if that's what you're looking to do)

[@Iamsonotmyhair]

I'm upset just watching this shrinkage, lol! I'm trying to grow my hair out but this is giving me realistic expectations. Now I'm sad;( But on a happy note, your hair is still gorgeous and very healthy :)

[@QueenHarrison]

how gorgeous is your hair!?? I'm in AWE!!

[@xoxotinkahxoxo]

It looks soooo soft right after you got out the shower and was seperating it

[@SwagaKhalif]

Try the Hydration method. 4 type hair has amazing curl patterns

[@blessingmashavave4444]

mmmmm wandipa shungu shamwari, the first video of yours yandakaona was the "mabhanzi" one and my jaw dropped lol. I`m natural too and ndanga ndisati ndamboona a zimbabwean ane hair that long and beautiful!!!!! you are now officially my inspiration lol

[@sysmjp3]

I've been doing water only washing and enjoy the simplicity and lack of products but have been struggling with the dull look the hair gets that I notice in your W&G as well. I believe MHM defined the curl pattern more and left the hair looking shinier, although, definitely more high maintenance.

[@sharg1778]

When my hair got dull i know it was time to strip some of that sebum off my strands.

[@positiveanduplifting]

Your hair is beautiful!!! I will give this method a try this week!

[@SarahDanielle]

Your hair is so long and beautiful!!!!!

[@ManiSimone]

Oooh wow thats gorgeous! You brought me up to something, Dephne! Bless you

[@biancak2484]

hello. I just wanted to ask how you went about the wig protective style and water wash regimen at the same time. Lastly how frequent you do your water washes. Can u please make a video on how you used to slay your wigs with african threading underneath. Thank you so much love

[@ahabahshiloh]

Thanks for the update! Have you reached full sebum coverage yet?

[@lorietm7681]

You really have beautiful hair. What a blessing asikana!

[@nayamoore2245]

You're shrinkage is crazy, beautiful hair

[@peaceanhairgrease]

OMG my mouth is fell open when you showed the shrinkage, RIDICULOUS!. I have the same type of hair, but being African American I have a couple of other types mixed in as well, but my hair is short. thinking about letting it grow ;)

[@lavernebradshaw8714]

I'm sorry I didn't say anything about hair, which my natural needs a lot, but I had to take this opportunity to bless you!🙂

[@stay_blessed23]

That shrinkage is crazy. Like wow!

[@JamieLise1219]

I love your hair. It has the most amazing texture.

[@Itgyrl909]

Interesting that the more you use water only washing the longer your hair stretches. Did your hair still stay the same (stretched to the length it was at the end of the video) when it was completely dry? Thanks for updating!

[@DephneAviyah]

Itgyrl909 thanks for watching sis, yes pretty much stayed that same length like the end of the video :-) xx

[@runrockwater]

omg u have awesome hair for braiding and twisting hairstyles and it's so long i love it

[@MsMiaNoel]

you're hair is gorgeous!!😍

[@sunkissedkhala]

your hair is LONG! when you stretched it out i was like OMG! is it still growing? your my hair inspiration!

[@meechi88]

You really do have major shrinkage, it's pretty amazing.

[@walkinthewoods981]

How often do you wash your hair. I just tried it for the first time today and I had so little shedding when I was styling it (two strand twists). I put shea butter and castor oils on the the ends. But my hair feels soft already. You have gorgeous hair and thanks for this.

[@Gigillove]

Great hair,awesome shrinkage. Can you still use Shea butter and leave in conditioner when doing the water-only method?

[@sharg1778]

Shea butter is better because it doesn't have unnatural ingredients such as your leave in conditioner and commercial products. Shea butter is natural from the earth and it doesn't strip your sebum

[@mariepardieu4859]

Thank you. Did you tried to wash with clay, rhassoul or bentonite. That 's what give me a curl pattern. Maximum Hydration method help too. I haven't done the whole process, but it does help with that.

[@lexxie225]

She does have a curl pattern it's just not defined, I guarantee if she did the MHM it'd come up in no time... In my opinion 4c hair is usually small tight waves rather than curls/coils. On that note, her hair is beautiful, so long and healthy and I cannot wait to get my own 4c hair this long

[@KH-xx1rg]

that shrinkage!!!!!!! your hair is soo long

[@itzleannacoolgirl886]

Omg your hair is soooo beautiful!! 😍😍😍 I'm trying to grow hair this long.

[@tolight16]

Your hair is beautiful!! So how often do your wash your hair with products in between just washing it with coconut oil?

[@ThEEnlightenFemme]

You've achieved maximum hydration. Beautiful hair.

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

I don't water wash only anymore, but I don't use anything more than shampoo and conditioner and occasionally coconut oil when I need it on my ends. Scalp can't handle anything else.

[@chnm333]

you truly are my inspiration

[@anointedtime1]

Great video. Sebum is an amazing moisturizer and styler.

[@MsMe-zo2uo]

Your hair looks so healthy and nice. I was told at the beginning of my hair journey to just use water and oil. Im switching to this regimen. Do you also condition?

[@Naturalpromise]

Your hair is beautiful! looks pretty soft! :)

[@DephneAviyah]

Naturalpromise thank you hun x

[@ISayToMyself]

Oh my gosh. You are hip length. Nice!!

[@DephneAviyah]

ISayToMyself thanks :-) x

[@kosionyeneho3603]

Hi Dephne! How do you keep your hair stretched out overnight (for example, if you want to wear it down) if you do not plan on doing long-lasting African hair threading? Thanks!

[@opaltree6428]

I like how you went right to the point!

[@rycgodsrn]

Sis Dephne....I love your videos...I have a question what is 4C hair???

[@nadinereid-warren482]

You should really try using Benoite clay for your hair. I don't know what it is about a clay mask but it will clump your curls together. You can see that you have a curl pattern you just need the right products and technique to bring it out.

[@almetas_grandbaby]

THANK STRINKAGE AINT AJOKE!!!' I would be so afraid to have to set angle my hair! Beautiful Hun!!!

[@DephneAviyah]

charris829 thank you sweetie!!

[@xxfaithyxx1]

Dephne Madyara Exactly how long have you been natural? Your shrinkage is amazing!

[@DephneAviyah]

Forever Faithful thanks honey! its been 4yrs and 5months xx

[@Carpathianpixie]

Dephne Madyara OMG! Your hair grows fast!!!!! And that SHRINKAGE is REAL!!!!

[@darkknlovelie]

how often do you wash Dephne? your scalp isn't itchy at all? what products do you use then? they must be natural if you don't have any build up to remove...no? thank you for this video anyway! i love your stuff :D

[@Nooooooooooooooooooooo7913]

HAIR GOALS!!!!!

[@kisakyerebecca1342]

+noooooooooooooooooo i know right!!

[@digdingdong]

incredible length. Are your strands fine ?

[@ladynefertitibk]

My mouth feel open when I saw how long your hair is. Is it easier to rid the scalp and hair of dandruff?

[@DephneAviyah]

***** aww bless, thanks for watching :) yes i haven't had any problems with that, usually apple cider vinegar helps with those issues for those on this regime xx

[@ladynefertitibk]

Good to know and thank you for that information. I hope to reach your length one day.

[@dandrasullivan6173]

Thanks for sharing! How often do you wash your hair?

[@destinyiwuajoku1113]

When u pulled ur hair to show ur true length i was just saying " oh my gosh, thats amazing. I love/hate shrinkage tho..its annoying and interesting at the samw time

[@lizrodriguez693]

This is true 😃

[@brianaa7573]

how often do you rinse/wash your hair? i've been doing it for maybe 2 months but I've never worn my hair out just in twists ..... how was detangling it the next time you washed?

[@Gigillove]

Thanks a lot Sharnal for your reply, appreciated

[@ForJoyTV]

I'm a new subbie and I'm sure you have probably answered this question before, so I apologize... When you style your hair (braid outs, twist outs, buns) do you still use a product? And do you just eliminate shampoo and conditioner? Or do you no longer use any products other than coconut oil and deep conditioners when needed?

[@yellowpaper3521]

Have you noticed any single strand knots?

[@DephneAviyah]

Patricia Howlett yes i still get those but not as bad as before ;-)

[@girlletsbereal5322]

I love this video !! However I can never do wash and go with my 4c hair xo

[@naturaleclipse2807]

Your hair is so beautiful omg you have my hair goals Lol!!!

[@oluwaseunfagbamila6946]

hello my hair is exactly like yours except for the length! Currently my hair is neck length (straight) and spouting length (coil). i want to know what i should do to get my hair to be longer, i don't wear weave only wigs, and am natural, i have low porosity 4c hair. can i do this wash also?, and when should i apply your homemade conditioner.

[@TheAnnanito]

Hey, Have you heard of the max hydration method.

[@Xstravagancedesigns]

Your hair is gorgeous and so are you 😊 new subscriber!

[@DeeTeeH2520]

Have you tried 'washing' with bentonite clay? it does wonders for moisture retention and curl definition:)

[@DephneAviyah]

Dambisa Hara I've heard of this, is it not drying sis?

[@DeeTeeH2520]

I've found it does the opposite, my hair retains more moisture and is a lot softer after using it:)

[@DeeTeeH2520]

It also doesn't strip your hair of its natural oils

[@cutie3638]

Dephne Madyara not drying at all! I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago before I braided my hair up for the summer. My hair never felt so soft!!! I thought people were crazy for putting clay in their hair but now that I know how well it works on my hair (mainly 4b) it's going to become a permanent fixture in my routine.

[@ImSoNerdy1234]

after months of doing this my curl pattern became more defined....

[@shuuzipuuzi]

Wow beautiful I love your hair !!

[@shalandadoria1254]

Thanks for the video, beautiful hair!😍

[@goldensexymama]

What is the purpose of using the coconut oil prior to water washing?

[@aliciamoore8679]

Gorgeous hair!

[@Tanialoves]

I been doing the water wash but I gave up lol . Thanks for the video
