Girl I just started boycotting conditioner and deep conditioner bc of my shampoo recipe that does me so well... I went on KZbin just to see if I'm the only weirdo doing that and I'm glad there's more of us
@godlovesusall81153 жыл бұрын
The only thing is that my shampoo is all water-based and my hydration is based on creams that consist mostly on water and about 40% oils but also my hair is 4a mostly so I don't have as many of the particularities that 4c has.

@@bonjour_mal I use a base of African Black Soap and Aloe Vera Juice for my shampoo. It also has activated charcoal and whipped shea butter. I've played around with the ingredients for a long time before I found a mix my hair LOVES. ABS is amazing but it's also pretty drying so it can't really be used alone on natural hair.

I've stopped using store bought shampoo as well one year ago and i haven't look back! I use black soap or more often rhassoul and kaolin clay.. my hair is sooo soft and yet cleansed that i don't feel the need to use conditioner! I coat my hair with shea butter and on my very end a bit of thick pure 100% lanolin and this way i've had the softest hair i have ever experienced! Braid it for a month (I still water rinse it every week in the protective style to keep it hydrated) and this is it. Simplicity is the way to go! Raven is so right,nutrient rich diet (also through vitamins), DON'T touch your hair to not break, fats which supports your sebum conditioning and i would add hydration which IS WATER! You don't need anything else, you may want more but your hair doesnt need all that!

After wasting so much money on products all I can say is as soon as you find a routine that works for you STICK TO IT. Don't try to change things up just because you think your hair is going to "grow faster" it never does, you just retain more length.

God knows how many videos I've watched of women claiming to have 4c hair then once they wet their hair a blind man 500 miles away can tell that shit is far from being 4C it's so frustrating. I say all that to say it is refreshing to finally fall on someone who actually has 4c hair and who can help a struggling sister out. you need to start selling you shampoo cause if it has actually helped you out with shrinkage I'm sure I'm not the only one willing to throw my coins your way! I checked your channel sadly they aren't that many videos related to your natural hair, would be nice to get more tips on everyday maintenance and styling but I get that putting it in a protective style is literally the best way to retain length on 4c hair, nonetheless I'm about to subscribe in hopes to fall on more videos like this!

Yep. I don’t use conditioner or shampoo. No oils, gels, butters; butters, creams or products at all. And my hair has grown from bras strap length to hip/tailbone length health, hydrated, strong and thick to the ends in 2 years of no products. I have very dense, thick-stranded, low porosity hair mostly 4a/4b with a small 4 c patch above each ear and kind of peppered throughout. Sebum is the best conditioner ever. And distilled water played well with sebum covered hair, at least for my experience

Your hair is high porosity no wonder it works well with fats. I have a mixture of curl patterns 4c-4b-4a. Doesn't work well with fats it's very low in porosity.

It works for me too. I use Amla oil as the conditioner and castor oil as a sealant. It only work with natural shampoos like Naptural85's African Blacksoap shampoo. Stopping all the products makes my hair feel better and wash day easier entirely. Then I put it in corn rows as a protective style. Who sold the world on using conditioners anyway is the question.
