Agreed this was amazing! Gr8 job jen!

[@mamencaable]

OMG. Can I just admire 😍 how long Jenn's hair has gotten? And considering the shrinkage! Giirrrrllll

[@JennJackson]

Most days I feel she is the same and then I look back and I’m like wow! 😅

[@martlet08]

Number one for me is just leaving enough time!! Whenever I rush washing my hair, it’s a bad time

[@JennJackson]

A recipe for disaster!!!

[@breprice]

I really love the comment about treating washing your hair as an act of self care! We really are fortunate to have the tools to do so. It’s easy to take the small things for granted. Thanks for that perspective.

[@Nalaluvmelo]

Prepoo if definitely needed for 4c. And like you said I do this to remove shedded hair. It definitely does help if you do wash day over 2 days. Thanks again for inspiring me to go natural. I’m 1 year and 4 months natural 😊

[@JennJackson]

So glad to hear it! And yes prepoo is a must for me

[@independantobserverpes]

We have the same hair type, and I just came out of roughly a month of braids, our shedded hair ball is comparable.... keep the videos coming my fellow 4c sis!

Hey Jenn 👋 I hope your heart is well & your Jenn 2.0 journey is progressing well. Thanks for the new tips to update our regimen. We appreciate you 🥰 Your hair has definitely grown during this challenge. it’s absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@annyetta890]

Hey girl, hey🥰 This was a great video and it reminded me to shift my perspective on wash day too. I usually dread it even though I typically don't have any issues detangling my hair, but I will remember to view it as self care.

[@JennJackson]

Absolutely! 👌🏾

Excellent summary of a manageable hair day.

[@carriek3887]

I’m so grateful for your videos like this one!! Your videos helped me come up with a routine a while ago… They were simple to understand didn’t have alllll the extra complicated steps that so many natural hair channels insist on including ….. I can’t wait to watch this one 😊

[@chiedzamutiro3182]

I love your Washday videos and I always look forward to watching them. I enjoy my hair and Washdays now because of your advice. While most want a really fast Washday when I takedown my protective style usually after 8 weeks all I want to do is pamper my hair and scalp. I get a quick Washday experience when I wash my protective style at the 4 week mark.

[@brisea5259]

You didn’t just throw this video together and it shows, great 👍🏾 work/quality. Thank you for the help 👑.

[@charlotteroberts3763]

I have been 👀 growth in my hair after implementing some of your suggestions. I just want to say thank you and learning to have patience more.

[@naomideckins]

I used your method, sis (except the oil part) and I just wanna say, THANK YOU! Wash day was really stress free and detangling was a breeze. Oh, my. I really did all the work before hand and sis, I got an A+ when detangling. Lol.

[@nisdarula]

love your mindset!! definitely have to start changing mine as well. many of us feel like we have to “manage” our hair like it’s some kind of animal, which it’s not 🥰💕😘

The protective style challenge is almost over. Cant wait to wear my hair out this summer. Nice instructive video. Wont say it enough but the pre-poo part is soooo helpful. The headwrap and your skintone 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 @jenn jackson

[@debbieken5639]

Hi Jen, thanks so much for this video. I didn't know much about shedding and recently after taking my 4c hair out of a 2 week protective style, I "lost" a lot of hair. While I was finger detangling (applying my deep conditioner) in the shower, I nearly passed out at all the hair that came out. I was really scared. But thanks for explaining shed hair, I now understand that I didn't really "lose" any hair, I just shed hair which is completely normal.

[@JennJackson]

You are so welcome! Shedding is so natural x

[@julietnyakio6418]

I just love listening to you🥰🥰

[@samanthacashe8640]

Hi Jen I love your channel girl! I also love your head wraps; can you do a video to show us how you wrap your head wraps? Thanks girl! Keep up the good work! Love you !!!

[@claudiefurgus3981]

Great job. Will certainly take your suggestions in to practice. For me it comes down to laziness and being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of my hair. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Toronto

[@donnagrant3668]

Jenn, girl , I love your channel. You are so informative. Thank you for taking the time to explain how 4c hair respond. I know all 4c hair is not the same but your tips have truly helped me.

[@MissWyatt]

Omg thank you for this video cause there's so many rushing questions and thoughts in my head and it messes me up! I just make sure that I sprayed water and sealed often during the week.

[@JennJackson]

I know! It can be so confusing 😅

[@gioishimx]

Go head Jenn with the long hair! I see you

[@JennJackson]

Thank sis❤️

[@albielaks]

Best video ever! I always dread wash day so I wash my hair once a month. Thanks for making this.

[@TozzaYT]

Hey jen, i need a bit of help: When i wake up, my 4c hair is clumped together and tangled. (I can only detangle and comb it after it’s wet, even then it’s hard to comb and hair falls out while i comb it). Even once combed, if someone touches it or even if i just leave it for a couple of hours it becomes smaller and more tangled. Up until today i’ve been wetting my hair very frequently since i didn’t know i wasn’t supposed to. I’ve bought coconut oil, shampoo, wild growth oil, leave in conditioner and a double butter cream for moisturising. I’m attempting to stretch my hair out for 3 days: i have combed it then grouped up sections and put a bobble round the group, stretching each section. I’m going to leave this for 3 days then i will use a moisturiser. I’d just like to know, are there any tips you would recommend? Can i co-wash with a leave in conditioner ?

[@is3472]

Enjoyed this! I am in my last protective style for this challenge. Really looking forward to my hair. When the weather is warm 💕💕💕

[@assyabarro5361]

Hey Jenn, I loved the video and I feel like you’re different (in a really good way) you seem so relaxed and you’re not judging things and all, it feels so good to follow people like you

[@LuckyyLEVEN]

Omg this was so soothing to watch. I love using naturally Kae collection’s Jus’ Butter Baby whipped hair cream to twist up my koils ❤️

[@marleyhill34]

I have ultra-fine ultra-dry high porosity 4c pen spring coils. My routine is slightly different: 1. Pre-poo for 30 minutes and then detangle with fingers and wide tooth seamless comb. 2 Shampoo once with scalp shampoo and once with moisturising shampoo. 3. Apply deep conditioner to damp not wet or dry hair. Comb deep conditioner through with fingers and seamless wide tooth comb. Apply deep conditioning electric heat cap and sit for 30 minutes. 4. After 30 minutes I comb through with the wide tooth seamless comb and rinse out. 5. Apply my leave in's on damp hair and sit for 20 minutes under the heat cap. 6. detangle in 1 inch sections with medium toothed comb. I do this every week unless I go to the salon or trichologists clinic.

[@yolandajennings9140]

Love your hair! It’s sooo beautiful and I always love seeing you do a complete wash day from start to finish. Great video, sis! ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

So jealous of the easy detangling with tools. Alas it ain’t so for your sistah ova hia! I’m trying mostly finger detangling with wide tooth comb detangling every 2-3 months. Let’s see how that goes!

[@lauriea6625]

This really helped me thank you!

[@reneep6051]

Hey Jenn! I’m obsessed with your videos - I’m living alone and for the first time I’m transitioning from having exclusively box braids to a natural look! I’m so excited and have been watching your videos for inspiration; you’re a god send! Between the leave in conditioner and the butter (after washing) your hair looks a lot more dry - are you letting it air dry (and for how long) or using a dryer or just going in with the butter while the hair is still wet?

[@lanigaston5360]

Is it me or has your hair gotten a lot longer? Im loving the thickness and the length girl!

[@ladegrace]

Hi Jenn, great video! Loved how easy to follow this was! I noticed you still had product in your hair after rinsing out the deep conditioner, was that intentional?

[@JennJackson]

I leave a TINY amount from time to time but I typically rinse it all out x

[@stephaniezendaya5027]

When I moisturize on wash day using the LCO method, how long should I wait to moisturize my hair again and do I still use the LCO method?

[@eduagonzalez]

Can I ask the reason you have high porosity hair? Is it bc you’ve straightened it? Or is it natural ?

[@khanyisaoni2532]

Your so helpful. Thankyou🥰

[@mamencaable]

Jenn. A question for you. During the month of the protective style, did you wash your hair? If yes, how many times and what was the process? I mean, pre poo...etc. thank you 😊💓

[@JennJackson]

I don’t like washing during a protective style! I spritz with water and moisturize but I find that washing in braids gets my roots matted. So I avoid it

[@mamencaable]

Yes! I thought I was crazy! But, with water spritzing’ the itching goes away! Thank you...

[@Cassidy248]

[@carolynanderson94]

Name of scalp treatment you're using.

[@cheshiredj]

I don't think I'm detangling enough. So you like the Felicia Leatherwood brush? I've been afraid to use a brush for detangling; usually fingers and a wide-tooth comb.

[@RedFlyingFox007]

It doesn't matter what tool you use as long as you are mindful and not ripping knots out

[@a.d.w8385]

I lightly detangle during each step. Until my style is set and done.

[@mamencaable]

Second. Hi Jenn, missed natural hair videos...thanks

[@carolynanderson94]

What kind of oil are you using?

[@Trinatime]

Thanks

[@dorethamcelliott4900]

If you rinse out the deep conditioner with cold water won't that close your cuticles and not allow the leave in to penetrate, or should you just rinse out the deep conditioner with luke warm water. I'm confused

[@qayyaksmith3652]

Thank you. I have the same question.

[@marleyhill34]

Depends on your hair type. I have high porosity hair so even if I rinse with cold water, my cuticles will never close that much. My trichologists also steam the leave in's in anyway. Deep conditioner penetrates the deepest. Most leave-ins just sit on the outside layer anyway.

[@ADOS_TNT]

Oh wow I didn't know that you are high porosity 😲

Hey girl hey

[@ebonywilkes]

Why does my wash day take 6 hrs though? 😆

[@1409musiclover]

How do your twists don't unravel when you're shampooing?

[@JennJackson]

My ends aren’t blunt so most of them stay in (some do unravel like the back). That also shows you how gentle I am with my hair. I am not moving it all over the place and focus on my roots mainly and just squeeze the product through the rest of my hair 🥰

[@1409musiclover]

@@JennJackson ok I see. I tried a couple times to shampoo with twists in but 1. My hair at the front broke off a bit and 2. The twists kept unraveling. Maybe I'll try to be gentler and see how that works out. I'm trying to cut down my shampoo+DC time which is about 1 hour.

[@marleyhill34]

@@1409musiclover it depends on how long your hair is. If your hair is below shoulder length, it's going to take some time so just accept it. My average wash day is minimum 2 hours and my hair is above shoulder length. 30 minutes pre-poo, 30 minutes deep conditioner, 30 minutes detangling. You can wash section by section. My sister and a lot of KZbinrs do that. You definitely need to be gentle. I have fine hair so I don't detangle on wet hair. No way! My hair is the weakest while wet!
