WASHDAY After TWO MONTHS 😱‼️ | My Very SIMPLE Routine

[@valentino1646]

I've been subbed for like 2 moths now and lemme just say your tips basically saved my routine. If anyone here is new, important lessons I got from this channel: - more often than not, the products you have are ENOUGH. You don't need 3000 oils or creams or anything like that, most generally do more or less the same thing so save your money and stick to what works than chasing what's popular these days. - One thing you do need is consistency and just not neglecting your hair, moisturising every like 2/3 weeks basically brought my hair back to life(ironic since it's dead cells lol but you get me). - lastly, finger detangling. Good lord lordddd I cannot tell you how amazing it is to ACTUALLY know what your hair is doing, whether or not it likes a product etc because you can FEEL IT. I literally stopped using combs and this tip combined with the other 2 has dramatically reduced my breakage. I will get such litte breakage when I wash my hair that I'll think I'm not doing sth right, but really that's just my hair thanking me for a job well done. Sorry for the super long comment lol, I just love this channel.❤

@@NaturalAcademia Thank you so much Steranda, honestly, in just 2 months, the health of my hair has improved so much I can't believe it. AND we're age mates so I feel like the stars aligned guiding me to this channel 😂❤❤❤

[@babyg7796]

Wish I could finger detangling but everything else was spot on💕I finger detangled for a year straight and my hair fell out and broke off like crazy. I had to go to a stylist and told her what I was doing and she had to chop of a good 6-inches off, never again. She told me everyone’s hair doesn’t take well to just finger detangling🥺and she had been natural for 11 years. She told me to switch to the Felicia leatherwood brush, or anything similar (since combs can be bad or good depending on the persons hair. I haven’t used combs in YEARS) and my hair finally started to grown back again & retain its length.

The youtubers have products to sale us. That is why they start showing us 50 products that they only use once for the demo so they collect their check. We only need 3 products. A shampoo conditioner and something to seal in the moisture.

[@mcaeln7268]

Exactly. And every 1-2 months I do a clay mask to be absolutely sure there’s no grease buildup because it’s really hard for me to get grease out of my hair even with clarifying shampoos, but I don’t really need much. My hair has never been healthier and moisturized long term

There's no 100+ page rule book on how to maintain healthy hair or a 10 commandments of what to do and not do to your hair. 🙄😒. You're just upfront about what works for you and encourage your supporters to do the same for themselves. Love it!! This ain't shade or an attack on other KZbinrs but I've followed so many people who had a list of things to do/not to do and I hardy saw any results with my hair. In fact I actually thought my hair wasn't growing or was growing slower than snail pace ... I tried your hair growth challenge for two months, and let me tell you! My hair has NEVER been this long or healthy in my life (mind you I'm nowhere near my desired length) 2 months!!! And I've finally see my hair length and health.

[@sadebraimah5962]

Honestly it’s probably a good thing that you used the Aussie moist shampoo because it has sulfates in it and hair needs to be clarified after a protective style. I noticed that if I use a clarifying shampoo when I wash my hair it helps my hair receive moisture better. My hair is also low porosity so that plays a part. Love the video!💕

[@NaturalAcademia]

Noted and thank you!!!!!!!

[@melissasilva194]

Instead of throwing the hair on the wall just get a hair stopper for the drain! It costs less than $5 and let's the water drain freely while maintain the hairs there you only lift it and remove the hairs and dispose of them and then replace the stopper again that's it soo easy and no tools needed!

[@NaturalAcademia]

🤔 I’ll definitely look into that

[@patricianyman3227]

Throwing hair on the wall!!!!???? What????!!! Who does this!!!!

[@giftd18]

Ok so question: To those of you in relationships, how do you deal with waiting long periods to wash your hair? I ask bc when I was in a ‘ship I would get kind of self conscious about my hair being dirty, or not smelling good, or my scalp being dirty when my bf would want to rub my scalp or want to cuddle. Right now I’m single and can wash my hair whenever I want but it just appeared to me that I was always wanting my hair to smell good and feel clean when I was in a ‘ship. I mean I know most ppl will say “if he loves you he will understand” but cmon now 😂😂 its like would you want dirty hair in YOUR face when you’re cuddling??!! Asking for a me 😚

[@sart1348]

You are right to be concerned by this. Scalp (and hair) will start to smell the longer you do not wash it. Dust and debris (indoor and outdoor), mixed in with sebum, sweat and build up of product is on unwashed hair. In addition to smells (from cooking, smoke... even things like incense) Most ppl will not say anything but they will think it. I am a performer and have had ppl outside of our culture come to me asking me what to do because a black colleagues hair smelled. If you prioritize a healthy, clean scalp (and hair) that smells good and does not have build up wash your hair weekly, ESP IF YOU WORK OUT AT ALL.

[@giftd18]

@@sart1348 haha wow I can’t believe your colleagues put you in that weird situation. And yes I definitely need to wash more than normal by default bc i sweat IN my scalp ESPECIALLY in the summer 😩. More of a reason I love the autumn coolness. I’m surprised that no one really talks about pH of our scalp. Bc I’m weird and abnormal (haha) I think waiting long periods to wash the scalp will harbor an unbalanced pH and also fungus. A shampoo that balances pH is good bc I think of it like a “reset” to the hair and scalp. When I used to workout heavy, I wore my hair in protective styles and couldn’t go more than 3 days without washing my hair.. it would just trap in all the dirt and sweat and start to smell, so yes I definitely agree with you on washing your hair more when you are actively sweating!

[@prettygirl_me4699]

@@giftd18 exactly her colleagues were rude and it’s possible that the person was using oils or products in their hair that had a smell, for example Wild growth, Castro oil, sulfur aids and other edge grower has a strong smell

[@letyjay9715]

Girl, your life is same as my life. Hair is intimate, men love smelling women’s hair because it smells good. I also do hard core workouts, so hair sweat! I literally cut of all my hair over a year ago and just wear wigs instead. My first natural hair journey attempt , I reached a healthy shoulder length. Then I found it too hard lol I’m giving this hair challenge another go. Like you I’m single right now, so best time to experiment with my hair smell. I learnt a long time ago , not to have braids in my hair, extensions add tension to hair and hard to routinely wash. My go to Protective styling is cornrows or African threading, I’ve had to learn. Now I’m learning how to use needle and yarn instead of cornrows. When I’m at home, my wig is off. I make sure my wigs smell really good. I use expensive scented products for that nice hair smell. I have seperate work out wigs. After workout, I just rinse my protective styled hair under running water, no need to touch the hair, every other day, I spray very heavily diluted nice smelling shampoo, stand under running water till I’m sure all has been wash off, then follow that up with heavily diluted apple cider vinegar. After this, follow your hair routine. Each day I swap the oil for my LOC. I use minimum oil, and minimum leave in, sometimes diluted leave in as a spray . I’m still experimenting. Let it air dry, then , I spritz my hair with pre made rosemary water, I’m trying out adding cloves & ginger to the water right now. (Adding nutrients to my hair), just like a mist, rub in my peppermint essential oil. Cover my hair with a plastic cap for 30 mins to force nutrients in, remove cap, let it air dry. Just before it’s fully dry, silk head band on my edges. It lays them down nice. My hair smells nice ! If I don’t work out, I skip above process, 3rd day you have to do this again. Every seven days in the protective style , I do hot oil treatment ;use all the smelly oils you want that are good for your hair because you are going to wash the oil off) then deep condition. Buy a cheap face steamer from Amazon, steam the deep conditioner into your hair. Notice all of the above don’t require much manipulation. I’m working on wash day every 21 days. On wash day, give my hair all its love (hit oil , protein treatment, deep conditioner, blow dry it to stretch it and protective style again. ) I even bought a very expensive hairdryer to ensure I don’t have heat damage. As a result, my hair is in protective styling, not neglected, smells amazing and flourishing, healthy scalp ! Also I use my massage gun to massage my scalp very often. I try to massage my scalp in the morning, or afternoon, assist the natural scalp oils to move around and help with circulation. My hair is 4c, it needs to be long before I can walk around with just my hair out. So I’m aiming for bra length lol

[@sart1348]

@@prettygirl_me4699 my colleague was trembling like a leaf to even ask that question because we have to be up close and personal with each other to do our jobs and when we don't smell good it's a problem. She of course didn't want to ask the person directly. None of those oils and products are needed for the hair anyway. The issue was dirty locs. Probably not washed and dried thoroughly. All ppl need to do it wash their hair regularly and style it after they wash it. All the extra is unnecessary at best and contributing to smelly hair/scalp and causing scalp conditions at worst.

Maybe the Aussie shampoo stripped the hair so much that the conditioner was able to penetrate better. I compared and I get better results from my deep conditioner if I use a squeaky clean shampoo compared to a moisturizing shampoo.

I've just discovered this! I used to wash my hair with a moisturising shampoo, which seemed okay, but then I switched to one which made me hair squeaky clean, which at first was initially offputting.

But just last night i took only my bangs out and washed them, i never seen my hair look so healthy in so long😳. I know my hair does good with low manipulation, but I never went 2 months before.

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

I recently started stretching my wash days from 7-10 days to 10-14 days, and noticed positive benefit as well. I wish I could go longer, because my hair does better when I keep my hands out of it, but my scalp is very vocal when it wants to be washed 😅. It’s good you’re noticing what your hair likes. I’m a big believer in doing what’s best for your hair regardless of what others say you should/shouldn’t do.

[@puppyprincess2822]

THIS!!!! I personally wash my hair every 2 weeks, but ive seen an increase of naturals bashing other naturals for their wash time frame.

[@Hiidolly]

@@puppyprincess2822 yesss😭

[@NaturalAcademia]

It’s something about leaving Natural hair alone that makes it thrive! Idk the science behind it but I’m convinced that leaving your hair alone is the foundation for hair retention.

Omg i use aussie shampoo. I used it with the same herbal essence conditioner and it was okay. The herbal essence gave me alot of moisture and slip. However the moisture didn't AMAZE me. What did work was the nothing but intense healing hair mask from gro healthy. I was truly s h o o k. After i used the aussie shampoo i used the mask and left it in for 30 mins. Its not that expensive compared to alot of other deep conditioners and it works really well. Literally the only reasonably price deep conditioner that works for me and defines my curls like craaazyyy. Wld be rly cool to see how it reacts with your hair😀👌

[@ynohs9446]

i recommend aussie 3 min deep conditioner, its so good

[@makaylacourtney2105]

Look ok I know this sounds a little bit crazy!! but have you ever tried washing your hair with “Dawn” soap? I would ask you to try it but I don’t like recommending people things when I haven’t tried it out myself, so I think I should and then see how it goes… but iv seen people use it on KZbin and they say it’s works like shampoo some say better!?! But imma try it on my hair next month let’s hope I don’t regret it tho 😅✌️

[@tiahnarodriguez3809]

I honestly would not recommend it as a shampoo substitute. Yeah it cleans your hair, but it’s not formulated for hair, so I question the pros/cons of long term use. I mean if it works for you it works for you, but for me it was a no.

[@NaturalAcademia]

I’m not opposed to the idea but idk if I would willingly try it 😭

[@makaylacourtney2105]

@@tiahnarodriguez3809 true maybe not for every wash day, but as a clarifying shampoo to get all the grease and butter out definitely will do more research on that tho 🤔👀

[@arielrose6361]

I actually tried that once for a clarifier and I've honestly used shampoos that stripped my hair more. I figure if it's safe for baby animals I can try it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@makaylacourtney2105]

@@arielrose6361 so do you think it would be save if you use it every two mounts? As a person who washes their hair about every two months and uses a hella load of heavy product such as shay butter, grease and oil etc. to moisturize their hair about 1-3 times per month do you think it would be ok?…💭

Hi. I just watched on of your videos. 👌🏾 In it you said you trim once a year at the end of the year. I suck at doing my natural hair, but have been trying to do better. I wanted to know if when you trim your hair you could show us in video how you trim it? It would be helpful for people like me who have no idea how to tell which hair needs to get trimmed.
