‣ Here's my wash day routine for dry 4C natural hair (TWA) - includes how to cleanse, deep condition, finger detangle and steam your 4C natural hair.
My wash day routine used to take hours - I mean 6+ hours. But I've created this short and simple wash day routine, so now it take me 3 hours max. My wash routine includes pre-pooing, cleaning, deep conditioning, detangling, steaming and styling. ALL IN 3 HOURS!

Thanks for watching!
Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so, as many of you may already know, I big chopped my hair for the second time back in March of this year and my wash routine has actually changed pretty significantly since I've big chopped for the second time. So I wanted to do a wash routine video for you guys just to show you what my wash day routine looks like now that my hair is a lot shorter. So without further ado, let's just get right on into the video, so I've been wearing my hair in twists underneath a wig lately, so my hair is really dry and crusty, so we're going to start out with pre-cooling first, i spritz water, all over my hair. Just to loosen it up and get a little bit of moisture in there and get things going and after that I split it into four sections, or at least what will fit into four sections. I do have some really small short nubs that won't fit into sections. So after that, I just worked in sections taking the twists out and really just feeling for any loose hairs or shed hairs just lightly pulling at my hair to remove any of those shed hairs, and then we get into the good stuff. So I take a handful of coconut oil and I am not stingy at all with the coconut oil and apply that all over the section - and I just love coconut oil because it makes my hair so extremely soft. So I add a little bit more water to that section and begin to lightly finger detangle, not too much just because I am going to finger detangle more once. I am deep conditioning my hair so again just feeling for any knots any tangles any shed hairs and pulling those out very, very, very lightly. So then I just add even more coconut oil than I did before. Again, the girl loves coconut oil. My hair loves coconut oil, so yeah coconut oil. Once I'm done with that, then I put a plastic bag over my head and I'm gon na sit with this pre-poo for about 15 to 20 minutes. So after I've applied the bag. I don't know I like to get all the air out of the bag. I don't know if that makes a difference, but once I do that, I put on a 100 % cotton t-shirt and you know just let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes and let that coconut oil penetrate my hair next getting into shampooing. I get in the shower and remove all of that coconut oil out of my hair, just rinsing it out thoroughly and my hair is very thick, so I do have to really rinse it for a minute for all of that coconut oil to get out of my Hair then I take my favorite shampoo design, essentials, naturals, stuff I'll, put the link in the bottom below, and I put that I concentrate it on my scalp, but because my hair is short, of course it does get on the ends of my hair as well, but I just apply that with my hand and really rub it into my scalp just to get that all nice and clean, but I don't stop there. I do use a shampoo brush and I think I got this from the place that everyone else gets tears from I'll leave. The link down below. I don't know - and I used that to shampoo my scalp even more, and I love this brush because it helps with dandruff. It also gets the blood circulating in your scalp, which of course, stimulates your hair growth, and it just feels really good as well. I just oh my gosh this. It literally feels like I'm at a massage parlor, getting a scalp massage. It feels amazing, but you do have to make sure that you use it very gently or else it can actually damage your scalp. So you don't want to use it too harshly and then once I'm done with that, I rinse out the shampoo again rinsing it very thoroughly because the shampoo can't actually get trapped in my roots, because my hair is so thick and so dense. So I just rinse out the shampoo thoroughly. Now, let's get into deep conditioning, I absolutely love the Aussie 3 minute miracle, deep conditioner, which I haven't used in a while, since my last big chop honestly. So I kind of went back to my roots about literally and figuratively, with this one, and I use this for a deep conditioner, getting it all over my hair and then I also detangle with it as well, because it does provide a lot of great slip. So I just kind of go through with my fingers and comb through my hair, I will say one great thing about having a TWA is that it's so easy to detangle. I just take my fingers and rake through it like a comb, and my fingers go right through. This is what my hair looks like once: I've added the deep conditioner next I actually steam my hair, which I don't see a lot of people on YouTube doing, but because my hair is so thick and coarse and dry, I need to steam my hair versus just Putting on like a heated cap because steaming actually lifts the follicles or the cuticles on each strand of your hair and allows that conditioner to get into your strands and really moisturize your hair and lock in that moisture. So that's why I really love steaming versus just putting on you know a towel or a cotton t-shirt and walking around the house. I like to steam it and really allow that moisture to penetrate into each of my hair strands to keep that moisture throughout the week. So this is what my hair looks like after steaming, and it feels so pillow soft. I get oh gosh, it feels so soft. I just I can't. I can't stop touching my hair after that I rinse my hair and I use warm water to rinse my hair. Initially and again, I have to be very thorough with it, because if not, I will have conditioner stuck in the roots of my hair, so I just rinse it very thoroughly and then after I rinse with warm water, I rinse it with cold water and what that Does is seal the cuticles it closes them and make sure that all that moisture from the deep conditioner actually stays in your hair strands. So this is what my hair looks like with zero product after I've washed out the deep conditioner. The front is actually a lot looser and curl pattern. Then the back is so I'd say the front is probably 4b, maybe and then the back is 4c and after that I just put on that 100 % cotton t-shirt and allow my hair to dry for about 30 minutes, and that is it for my wash day. If you guys want to see how I style my hair, be sure to watch my twist out video - and I will see you guys in my next video - be sure to LIKE comment and of course subscribe. Peace

L Taylor: Your videos give me hope! I literally cried this morning because I can't get my daughters hair to grow no matter what I use its so dry and short idk what to do with it. I've been trying to find styles and couldn't! I decided to stop everything and leave her natural but I felt it was too short to style AND she's rough so I cant just leave it. Thank you for your Vids.
Bari Merrille: I just did a big chop 4 months ago. I'm now trying to get my hair to stay moisturized doing the winter. I have a curl defining video on my page and definitely was trying to figure out how to keep it moisturized. I will try your method on wash day!

Shy Lewis: I’m definitely going to do this girl thank you finally one that work
JayeJaye714: Great video. You can also use pure Aloe Vera Juice to close your cuticles. I have started back using my steamer to deep condition as well, however, I will be looking to purchase a Pibb hooded hair dryer to deep condition as well as use it to dry my hair. @Naakie Nartey, how long have you been natural?
Tshiamo: You and your hair are amazing and this routine was great.
6NorthStar: Very helpful.Thank you for sharing these tips.
Flo: I had my big chop in March too!...and we've got the same length. Was annoyed it wasn't growing but seeing yours it seem it is.
Nana: I have the same hair type 4c and everything!!! The funny thing is I am more 4c in the front but the back is more looser like 4b 4a so it’s hard to really get a good coil curl in the back
Angelica Shipps: I love your hair sooo much!! It’s so beautiful!!! Just bomb!! ❤️❤️❤️ 4c glory!!!
Caresse Drake: Hey naakie I have very similar hair to yours and due to damage on my hair I big chopped again recently , I love the ideas on wash day , my hair is too short for a twist out , do you have any ideas or recommendations for a wash n go to keep my curls defined without making them hard with gels ? Thanks so much in advance for any advice you have

Michelle Grobbelaar: Your hair looks like mine but I identify as 4a and 4b because I have a lot of curl and definition and coils on the side. Your hair is beautiful and we are the same length. Keep it up.
Dscwisdom: Omg! You are my hair twin! Thick, dense, dry, and a little bit looser hair texture in the front. FOLLOWING
Ayanna Monderoy: I squeeze the air out of the pastic cap too
Brianna&Mia Gymnasts: I suggest not ceiling the deep conditioner with cold water because when you’re doing the LCO method or the LOC method or just any kind of Moisturizing you won’t be able to get anything in your hair which will cause buildup
Ada BrandyWorld: you deserve so many more subscribers omg
kelsey James: Just used this method & did some things from the comments that the creator commented on & im happy to say I loved this method❤️

Black Butterfly: You are naturally pretty! ♥️
hairCARTEL: I'm loving the thickness in your hair
Memoir Young: Thumbs up on the video!4c hair! Love it! If this is what 4c hair looks like I want it. I'm trying to figure out my hair type and it isn't easy. 5 weeks ago I let my barber shave my hair off down to a fade. Bald on the sides and back and a little fuzz on top. It's growing like wild weed now. The growth at first looked like tiny tight curls. Now 5 weeks after the cut it is looking less curly. I have to moisturize twice a day. In the morning I moisturize with jamaican black castor oil and blue magic hair grease (old school). In the evening I moisturize with jamaican black castor oil. My hair seems to soak up moisture overnight. Can't pass up an opportunity to plug while on here so go to barnes&noble.com and check out my work under Tonya Young #readabook
totally not tas: Guys! I just washed my hair using this method, it word so well and I'm so happy. My hair feels so moisturized, my hair doesn't really grow because once when I was younger I accidentally cut my hair while taking out my box braids. My hair was so long but, let's be honest, I was like 6. I think my hair was damaged and it was probably because of heat damage (I always used a lot of flat irons and curling irons etc.) Now me and my mom are working to grow my hair healthy and for it to actually start growing.✌❤️❤️
