All of my social media will be linked in the description box below so now that you dolls know everything you need to know. Let'S go ahead and hop into this video. Okay, all today we have a little bit of a different type of video. This year is going to be all about Discovery and trying new things, and I thought there's a lot of content out there and a lot of different styles and types of videos that I actually haven't tried. And I have been wanting to try for the longest time and one of those videos are hair care videos. I love watching them, so I thought I'd share today with you guys how I care for my natural hair underneath my wigs. I hope this video will be of some help to you guys and also help to me. I'M hoping that any of you guys in the comments below anyone who may be a black hair care specialist can give me a little advice on how to handle my little curly cute looks. I also want to just do a quick disclaimer, because, although I love watching hair care videos, a lot of the hair care videos that I watch, I always look in the comments and there are a plethora of comments and it's it's kind of crazy to me. How opinionated people can be about other people's choices for their hair? So I just want to say that this is a safe space for me and for the viewers. So I don't want to have any type of rude ignorance or belittling comments below. If you feel like. I'M doing something wrong with my hair if you disagree with something with my hair, find a way to communicate that in a very safe and nice and kind environment. If you can't be kind and that's just not your personality girl, I get it. This is not the video for you. Do not comment below. Do not watch the video just move on to something else. This is really a space for kind, hearted people and people who are patient with each other, so yeah. I just wanted to put that out there, because, if I get any of the comments that I have seen on some of these other girls videos on my videos, I'm gon na bite back. So let's not do that. Let'S just keep it cute. Okay, keep it cute, like my curls okay, I also wanted to answer three questions that I feel are kind of pivotal to this video throughout the video. I will kind of do little Chit Chat moments where I go in depth about my hair a little bit and give you guys a little story time on a few things that happen to my hair and my hair Journey. Thus far, there are a few points I wanted to hit on at the beginning of the video before you guys get into it, so you can kind of know where I'm coming from. So to start out, I how long I've been natural. I'Ve been natural now for five years and by natural I mean I do not relax my hair. I also do not put any extreme heat by extreme heat. I mean um curling, irons, flat irons, um hot Combs. I don't do any of that. I do occasionally blow dry my hair to do my braid outs for my wigs, but other than that I don't put much or any heat on my hair at all, and I do my braid outs and my braid Downs about, I would say, average. Probably every two weeks, so I really really have diminished the heat on my hair. I don't color my hair or anything like that. My hair is pretty much styled using oils and water, so I've been natural now for about five years and honestly, there's been so UPS and definitely some downs. But I'm happy that I made the choice to go a natural and to stop relaxing my hair and to stop manipulating my hair in unhealthy ways. I also just wanted to explain why I wear wigs because I feel like in the hair community. You have the super natural girls who don't wear wigs at all, and then you also have the girls who do wear wigs and do do hair extensions and things like that, and sometimes I feel like it can be a little bit of a battle. I'Ve seen some shade thrown. Why do you wear wigs? If you love your natural hair, why do you wear wigs? I just want to say for me personally: I do not wear wigs, because I hate my hair or I can't stand my natural hair or I'm not comfortable with my natural hair. That is not it at all. You guys eyes. I love my natural hair. That is why I wear wigs, because I want to protect my natural hair from all of the manipulation and styling that I once do to it. So for me, the reason why I wear wigs is it's as simple as this they're easy. You literally put them on like to style. My natural hair could take up easily up to four hours, just to style it no hair care just styling easily up to four hours plus when it comes to a wig. I can apply a wig in 10 to 15 minutes. You guys, so it's just convenient. The next reason why I do wear wigs is because wigs have saved my hair. If it wasn't for wigs, I probably would have still been balding at the side and I'll go a little bit more into that throughout the video. I kind of talk about my story about how my hair started balding at the front, but wigs have protected my hair and my hair grows and flourishes so much since I've been wearing wigs. So that's the other reason why I wear wigs to me. It'S the best protective style for my hair and then also you guys. I love to change up my look a lot like I love changing my hair to match my outfits to match my mood some days. I want to have like a big Brazilian body wave hairstyle and I could easily go to a salon or put relaxer in my hair and blow my hair out and do that. Hair. Look style, it'll take about five to six hours, but I could easily do that. But it would be very damaging to my hair. This way, all I have to do is purchase a wig and I can still have that style. So it's kind of like I get to have my cake and eat it too, and also I don't really want to put the heat onto my hair to make my hair that beautiful nice uh body wave because it does ruin my natural curl pattern, and I love My little natural curl pattern, you guys, so that's also why I just wear wigs because I love my natural hair. I love being able to wear my natural hair out and have my beautiful curl pattern and if I don't want to do that - and I want to wear my hair straight and go a different color or do a different cut, I don't have to do that or Risk that, with my hair, like there's, no um, there's no commitment to it a way big with me. So that is why I wear wigs. I hope that was explanatory enough. I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from with that. If that makes any sense, I think it does, I think it does, but I feel like no matter what I say someone's gon na contradict that so I'm just gon na say what I'm gon na say and lastly, before we get into the Hair Care portion of This video, I wanted to give you guys some of my goals for my hair one. I just want my curls to be more defined. I don't want them to be as frizzy as they normally are. So that is a goal for my hair. The main thing that will contribute to that is moisture. I definitely want my hair to be super moisturized this year and going forward. I just want to bring all of that moisture that I lost out of my hair from years of relaxers and straightening my hair. I want to bring all of that back to my natural hair and I don't want to have to over oil. My hair, like I do now, because my hair is still damaged. It still is healing and coming out of the damaged stages. So I would like to have my hair back into a healthy Place. Ideally, for me, I would love to have my hair back to the way that it was before I started, relaxing it and putting heat on it. So that's a of mine. The next goal of mine is obviously length and growth. I feel like my hair is doing really good and growth wise the speed it grows pretty quickly. But the thing that I noticed is when it does go back in. It grows in very fine, like baby hairs, and that makes it very brittle and easy to break off. So I would love to have my hair grow in a lot thicker and I think that has more to do with my diet. What I'm putting into my body am I eating enough protein um is my diet right, so I'm gon na focus on my diet, a lot more for my hair but yeah, that's definitely a goal of mine and then lengthwise. I would love to have my hair back to the way that it was when I was like 17 or 18.. My hair was boob length, um right here, so I would love to have it like that, but I would love to have it Booth length curly. The final goal I have for my hair is just the movement I would love to have my hair, be very soft and able to move and flow in the wind and not so stiff and hard and dry and kind Chi, so yeah. I would love to see a little bit more movement in my hair, a little bit more moisture, a little bit more definition in the curls and a little bit more length, and I think if I can accomplish that, I think I will accomplish that and I think Once I accomplish that I'll be in a very um contentful place, but yeah dolls, that was my intro sorry. This intro was kind of long, but it is about my hair and you guys know I am kind of attached to my hair. So it's like my little baby. I care about her a lot so yeah. I hope you dolls enjoy this video. I hope this will help you. So let's go ahead and get into my hair care, routine. Okay, dolls! So we're starting out two weeks post wig, I'm just gon na be taking off my wig cap and taking down my braids. How are you dolls doing do comment below and let me know, I'm actually very nervous for this video, because I feel, like hair videos, get the craziest type of comments. So I'm a little nervous about that, but I am all in you guys. I am doing a plethora of different types of videos this year, so if you guys have any suggestions, do leave those in the uh comment box below I comment box. There'S no comment box. Please do leave those in the comments below. I would love to hear your suggestions nothing's off the table. It could be anything mukbangs. I am a s and Mars whatever you guys have in mind. Let me know but yeah my braids are now down and the next step after I take my braids down. You guys is to then unbraid them right now me picture yourself now that my hair is completely unbraided, I'm just gon na kind of take it and shake it out. I love to do this. Just to I don't know, get it some air, I don't know it. Just makes my scalp feel good when I shake my hair out and then I'm just gon na go through and kind of check the length on it. Um all of the edges, as you guys can see where it's super super frizzy. That'S not in that braid pattern. That is all new growth. You guys, and I was so happy and excited to see it because it looks like at least a half an inch grew in within two weeks, which is not surprising for my hair because it does grow. Very quickly, my issue is more breakage than growth, but anyways you guys yeah. I just did a little quick link check. I feel like the back is doing fine. It'S flourishing. I don't have any like loose hair or uh thinning at the back, which I always check for see. I'M just shaking it out. You guys can see it's quite dirty, I'm a little embarrassed by that, but we're gon na wash it don't worry, babe, okay! So so now we need to oil. The hair oils I use you. Dolls can use a combination of oils. You like I always start out with a base, which is the most amount of oil that will go in my hair and for me it's olive oil. You can use any oil you've like I used to use coconut oil in the past, but coconut oil was just too thin for my dense, thick hair, and I just found that olive oil moisturized my hair a lot better. I am just making a little hot oil treatment here. I know there's like a bunch of different ways to do this, but just for me this is just the way that I do it and by no means am I a professional you guys. I do not do hair, I don't know anything about hair. I just do this to my own hair um. This neem oil actually is one of my favorite new oils that I've been using. I have seen so much growth since I have been using the neem oil. I highly suggest trying it out you guys now, I'm just going to take my little concoction and I'm going to heat it in the microwave. I think I heat it for about 45 seconds and Rula. Okay, you guys, so we just heated up my hot oil treatment. I just put some of my favorite hair oils. You can do your own combination for what's right for your hair, but I just used a combination of oils and I heated it for about 45 seconds, depending on how much oil you need will depend on how long you want to heat the oil for don't overheat. The oil, because you can kind of like if it starts to boil or Bubble Up that, can kind of be bad for the oil. You can kind of be burning out. The nutrients that are in the oil just like when you cook food, so definitely be careful of that. I did 45 seconds and it was perfect and now I'm just going to cover my hair in the oil. I am actually really really happy. Sorry, if the lighting is super bright um, but I was just saying that I am really happy with my hair growth. I feel like it's grown about half an inch, at least since it's been in the braids. You guys can see like this fuzzy part at the problem. That'S underneath at the base. That'S all like New Growth. You guys eyes, that's all new anything! That'S not this curly wavy braid pattern is New Growth and my hair grows pretty fast. The issue is not growth. My issue is breakage. I have a really bad breakage problem, because my hair is so super dry, but that is why we're about to apply the oil I'm just going to use a little dropper from my neem oil neem oil by the way is something I recently discovered for my hair And it's just been amazing um! You guys are going to see neem later in the video, because I'm gon na actually put it in my leave-in. Oh, oh, The Dropper tried to fall on me, girl, um, so yeah. Let'S just go ahead and start applying it in. I always start at the back and then move towards the front, because I find that the back of my hair always more dry than the rest of my hair. Where is oh, my God, you guys I have to go, get a hair tie hang on one. Second, all right, the camera's crooked to you guys. This is a new angle that I'm kind of working with, but it's like the only place I feel like. I could get the most light because it's by the window, so you guys could see my hair. It'S just gon na take a dropper like this. You can put it in your hands and rub it in your hair or you can just do. Oh, it's a little hot and I just go in and drop it. Oh one more other thing. Long story short. I wasn't prepared for this video um, but I have my like little scalp massager. You can find this on Amazon, that's where I got mine from and after I apply the oil in, I kind of just go in and massage it around in there. Why am I talking I should be showing off? Can you guys see I'm just hoping that you guys can see? I have a ring light, but it's not doing its job. Hopefully you guys can see what I'm doing with the ring light. Taking you, my girl, do not be worried that it's too much oil slap that oil in, especially if you have long thick hair, because I used to think - oh, my God, I'm putting too much oil, no girl, you're. Not so sorry guys. I actually forgot and skipped a little step, and I just realized it once I was rubbing the oil in my hair that you want to take a wide tooth comb, and this is what I do after you've split it. Um you're going to want to start combing out all of the Fallout because you will have Fallout after having your braids in like in that long. My braids were in for literally two weeks. That'S how long I keep my hair up, um in a protective style underneath wigs tip to root so yeah comb it out before you apply the oil you guys. So here you guys look! There'S the Fallout that I'm getting! This is pretty normal for me. I actually get a lot of Fallout because my hair gets pretty dry and that's one of the issues I have and when my hair is dry, it starts to fall out um. I do moisturize it when it's in the braids um, underneath the wig and I'll show you guys that process a little bit later here. So I'm just going back over it with the oil. Oh, it's nice and warm you guys, okay guys! So I'm probably gon na speed up the rest of this, because it's just going to be me doing the same thing and repeating so I'm just going to go through and finish oiling my hair um. This you guys can see. I put so much oil you've. Seen me and like it still looks completely dry, because my hair is like that's just what it does. It stops up the oil, so I'm gon na go ahead. Continue this and speed it up. Okay, going back in with oil, so sapping my hair and that olive oil - you guys, I hope you can see what I'm doing, but I just added some more cold olive oil in my hair. So that's kind of what I wanted to be soaked. I know some of you guys are probably sitting behind the screen like that is so gross, that's a lot of oil, but it's not a lot of oil for my hair. Guys trust me also, if you guys, have any um tips if you're an ethnic hair care, professional or specialist, please do leave your tips below. Try your hardest, not to be insulting but yeah. I would appreciate any tips you have also once we wash my hair and you guys see like my texture, I would love to know if you guys know like what my hair texture is, because I have no idea um. This may look gross you guys. I swear. I'M not putting my throwing like hair on the floor. I have like a whole towel laid out on the floor for my hair, because I already knew it's going to fall out, I'm just gon na twist it you can see. Sometimes you guys, I do do like protein rinses like egg rinses. Those are really nice. Those really worked for my hair, but you guys it would be like throughout the day like I could wash my hair like three times, and it would still be like pieces of egg in my hair, and it was just like no. This is not for me foreign and then I'm just gon na come back to you guys. Instead of having you guys sit here and watch me do the same thing over and over again, but basically I just continue that prop girl frog in the throat um anyways. I'M just gon na finish that process throughout my the rest of my hair and then I'll come back to you guys when I'm On To The Next Step, hey guys, okay, so I did the other part of my hair. So my whole head is now twisted and oil - I have just a little bit of oil in here, so I'm gon na just continue to put it throughout the rest of my hair. Just so it doesn't go to waste girl because oils are really expensive. If you are a natural girl, then you already know how expensive these oils are. But while I put this oil in my hair, I kind of just want to chit chat with you guys a little bit. I'M not sure. If I'll talk about this in the intro or not, but I just wanted to talk to you guys about Hair Care in general and the journey of my hair um, one of the things that I noticed is there was a period of time where my hair started To fall out, you guys, and I had always had long thick curly hair from when I was a little girl. I can even put a photo up on the screen for you guys of my first time I started straightening my hair. How long my hair was, even when I was straightening it now this picture that I pop up on the screen. I was probably like 18. I think it was like 17 turning 18 in this photo and I want it so badly to just have straight hair um. As I'm sure like this, like all black girls did around this time, when I grew up, I grew up in a world where natural hair wasn't cute, it wasn't pretty having curly big thick poofy hair was not it, you would get made fun of it. For people would be like, oh your hair's not done like if you did not have a relaxer and your hair wasn't straight girl. Your hair was considered not done and like lucky for you guys that you guys, especially the Gen Z's, like I'm low-key, jealous of y'all, because y'all get to grow up in a world where it's like. You can embrace your natural beauty where I didn't grow up in a world like that so anyways. Nonetheless, my cousins were all trendy, they all had relaxed straight hair and I grew up very, very poor. I think I've mentioned this before we couldn't afford a relaxer. We couldn't afford a box relaxer, you guys, so I really wasn't able to get my hair straightened until I started becoming like late teens like 16 17 and I was introduced to relaxers from my mom. My mom used a box relaxer to straighten my hair she's, the olive oil brand and my mom also before she started using relaxers in me and my sister's hair. She started straighting our hair with a hot comb and not like a flat iron. You guys, like y'all, probably don't even know what this is, but it's a hot comb girl, like the one that you put on the stove and heat up with, like literal fire like a hot comb. She would straighten our hair, and that only came about because my parents had decided to put me in my twin sister, into modeling and acting and in that world. Black girls and natural curly hair wasn't thing like a thing like the cute black girls in magazines and stuff had straight pressed hair, so my mom would press her hair out. So that's where that kind of started. That was like the start of my hair. I think going downhill and it proceeded to go even more downhill, because after I got my first relaxer and my first like press out, I was addicted to it like. I wanted my hair to always be straight and cute like all of my cousins, because they would make fun of me and make fun of my hair being so big and poofy anyways. We don't need to go into my childhood trauma. Let'S just keep on track with the hair anyways fast forward to a little bit later. I noticed that my hair started falling out and it got so bad to the point where I was like I stopped doing relaxers all together, then I stopped doing heat all together and still after that, for two years my hair just kept falling out. It wasn't like Fallout that I show you guys like these long pieces of hair. It was like tiny little brittle pieces of hair that showed me that my hair was breaking like broken pieces of hair like a bunch of shreds like somebody took scissors and cut your hair, that's what it looked like it would be in my bed sheets. It would just be everywhere, and I had had some other other like trauma. Hair trauma happened at one point. I had my hair braided by this girl who literally braided my hair, so freaking tight. I couldn't keep it in for a week and I took it out and you guys when I took it out. A chunk of my hair right here came out stuck to a big giant piece of scab and skin, and I had a sore in the middle of my head. That is, that is how tight she braided my hair. That'S another story for a separate story. Time, if you guys want to hear how that happened, what ended up happening idea confront her about it. It was a lot um, but if you guys want to hear that comment below and I'll do a story time on it, because I stopped heating, my hair and relaxing my hair. I had to figure out ways to make my hair look cute and presentable and keep in mind I'm into modeling and acting so I had to look commercial for them like, so I would have to figure out how to manipulate my hair and what I would try To do is, I would wear like sew-in hair extensions which, by the way, nothing against sewing hair extensions. I actually love those those actually started helping my hair to grow, so I did see a little bit of growth with those types of uh hairstyles. But I started to see like the front ends of my hair, thin out and start to break off like the front, and it was because I was still manipulating the leave out part. I was still straightening the leave out part to blend in with the hair extensions. Basically, to fast forward it and to sum it up, my hair started breaking out right here and I'll insert a photo like girl. Literally, I was bald on the sides of my head and I went back home and I remember visiting, and I remember my brother. He was super super stressed out and he was going through a lot mentally and his hair. He was talking about his hair and his hair was receding as well in balding like that, going in that direction as well - and I was like okay. So this is like a hereditary thing. This is like this is like in my blood or something no way mind you guys. I have a naturally big forehead. All of the people in my family have like really big foreheads, so it wasn't like my forehead, you guys it was like up into this part like all the way receding back that started happening, and I knew in my gut. Something was wrong like I knew something was wrong. I'M like there's something wrong with me, so I was like. I need to see a doctor, so girl, that's what I did. I went and I saw a doctor and what she discovered is a I had. I think she said I had a really low red blood cell count. I don't know if she had red blood cell or white blood cell. I can't remember because it was a while ago, but pretty much. She was worried that I might be anemic. She put me on these different types of supplements to help me with that, because she thought that that could be. Why and then she also told me that um I needed to I didn't have enough protein, I needed to build some more protein. I need to eat more red meats and shellfish. Now I can't eat shellfish because I'm allergic and at the time I didn't eat red meat at the time I was completely vegan, so I was eating all like raw vegetable plant-based foods and she was telling me I need to eat dairy as well. You guys probably already know this if you watch my other videos, but I am a lactose intolerant, so Dairy makes me very sick if I eat too much of it. So it was like a lot of things that she was asking me to do those contradictory to like what I could do um. So that's why the supplements came into play. So I started taking supplements and it helped a little bit, but it just didn't help that much so my mental health also played a big role into it as well. I was going through a lot at that time. I had a lot of anxiety and I didn't really know what it was, because at the time that I was discovering this again, mental health wasn't a big thing that everybody talked about, especially in the black community. People. Don'T really talk about it. It'S like suck it up and deal with it um, but she started talking to me about it, and this is kind of around the time I started learning and getting more. You know more serious about my mental health and she was like. I think you need to see a therapist. I want you to see a therapist because you, if you've gone through Trump just she wanted me to see a therapist y'all. Okay, I'm not gon na get into detail. So I went to the therapist. I saw the therapist and sure enough. It really really started to help anyways. I saw the therapist and things started to get better, and I noticed that my hair started to grow back in also around this time. I had tried a few different versions of protective hairstyles and at first I was putting so much things so many things into my hair. You guys I was doing so much to my hair, just trying to get it to grow, and I could not, for the life of me figured out how, like I tried, rice water. I tried all these different things. I could not figure out how everybody was trying. All these things and their hair was growing and mine just repeatedly started to fall out um. What I noticed after I started going to therapy is my hair started to grow in around in the bald spot areas, and it wasn't like my normal hair. I don't know how to explain it, but it wasn't strong, thick coily hair. It was just like it looked like baby hair like very, very fine, thin, curly hair, it would grow in and then it would break out. So I was having these issues where I could get the hair to grow in, but it was super thin and brittle and it would just break back out and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what the heck is going on. I saw my doctor again and she started talking to me again about my iron, how my iron was low. I started having headaches and having faint spells and just feeling very weak and tired. I thought I was contributing it to the fact that I was just had a lot of anxiety at the time and that it was my mental health, but it wasn't just my mental health. What I discovered was my diet, you guys and I'm not I'm not saying anything about like don't like this, I'm just telling you guys what worked for me and what didn't work for me. Um, I'm not saying that this is for everybody, but for me being on that no meat, all vegan diet, was making my hair fall out. You guys like it. I didn't have enough nutrition in my body to support healthy hair growth. Now, I'm not saying that it's for everyone, because I know some people who have been vegan their entire lives and have hair down to their butt. So it's not for everybody, but just for me and my hair type and my lifestyle that vegan diet was did not work immediately. I started out going back into being a pescetarian eating a little bit of fish. Then I went into eating adding chicken and turkey meat to that bird and then, after that I started adding tiny bits of red meat you guys and even now. I think I struggle with eating red meat, but I try to add a little bit into my diet and you guys I saw so much of a big change. Now it may not have just been the meat or the diet. It may have also been the therapy. It may have also been like the fact that I stopped doing to my hair, like I stopped putting heat in my hair. Oh, and also another thing you guys, the protective hairstyles that I was wearing was: what else can you wear when you're, not washing your hair? You'Re washing your hair every other week, so it's getting dirty and you can't manipulate it in any way or put much products in it. So I was trying to cut down on the products that I was putting in my hair too, because I felt like all of those products was just traumatizing, my hair. So I started wearing my hair in a bun, a really high, tight bun and a really low tide, bun or sometimes I would wear like a ponytail, and that did not work well for my hair, because my ponytails were too tight. My buns were too tight. Of course that's what looks cute right, that's the style. Everybody wants those tight Kim Kardashian, you know buns, they look cute and they're wearable and I thought it was protective, but because the bun was so tight, it was actually pulling my hair back and pulling my hair up and traumatizing my hair and breaking my hair out. So, yes, I still do wear buns High buns and low buns, but I make sure that they're very loose so that they're not pulling on my strands. So that was one thing that I changed too as well, so it could have been a combination of all those things you guys, but I say all of this to say that no one person's hair is the same as another's and what works for. You may not work for me and two: what I've realized is it doesn't matter what you do to your hair, you can. You can put a million bajillion oils in your hair if your mental health is not right and your diet is not right. It'S going to show in your hair your outer appearance, your skin, your hair, your nails, all of that stuff, is a reflection of what is going on inside of you. That'S why, when you notice something going wrong like, for instance, my finger was swollen the other day for no reason, if you go to a doctor, what do they do they test your blood? They do a blood test. They start to look at. What'S going on inside of you, that's causing a reaction on the external, so you have to think like that, and I realized, like I needed to start thinking about myself and my body like a doctor, would think about myself and my body like how does my body Actually work: your hair is not going to flourish unless your mind is flourishing and your diet, you guys what you put into your body and your body is flourishing. You have to take care of your body and your mind and the outer appearance will follow suit. I promise you, I promise you, because I have the oils that work now in my hair. I tried all of these oils for two years straight and could not get my hair to grow at all. But now I'm like. Oh all, of a sudden. The oils are working, no, I changed uh. My mindset and I also changed my diet that also played a trick. So I think it's a combination of all of that and then lastly, what you put into your hair, so what I noticed is the less I do to my hair, the happier and the more healthier my hair is, and that's just for me personally, I know that's Not for everybody, I talk to other girls who are like no girl. If I leave my hair alone, my hair will be so brittle and horrible in a fall out and this and that the only thing I could say that I would do to my hair on a regular basis that will contribute is moisture. So those are my three things you guys what you put into your body, your diet, your mental health, make sure what you put into your mind is healthy and then also what you put onto your hair moisturize, your hair. Those are the three things you guys and I I kid you not. I will show you the picture. My hair grew back so much more, it's not where it used to be you guys not at all. Okay, my hair used to be I'll show a picture. It used to be down to my back; it's definitely not where it used to be, but it's definitely getting on the journey towards getting back to that and yeah. I just wanted to share that with you guys, anyways. I have a set here in rambled. So much I'm gon na continue to add the rest of this oil to my hair and then tomorrow, I'm gon na check back in with you guys, and we are going to finish this process, which is just a wash tomorrow's. My wash day and my moisturize day deep condition and style day, so it does take me about two days to do my hair. I know that's why I I like to do my hair over the weekends, because I know I have nothing to do, and I can literally just stay in the house order my groceries and work on my hair that little chit chat with you guys. I wanted to add that portion in because I feel like a lot of people, especially in the Hair Care Community. I don't really hear them talk about diet and and mental health and how that affects your hair. I hear them saying you need to do this. You need to try this topical product. You need to try that topical product. You need to do this and try that, and while all of those um processes are great processes and can be very helpful to people who don't have those, I think you have all of that stuff is not going to matter. If you're super stressed out and your mental health is bad and if your diet is bad and you're not eating anyways, I'm a bowing out. I hope this little chat was very helpful to you guys and um yeah I'll talk to you guys tomorrow, hey dollies okay, so it is the next day and I'm about to wash my hair and don't mind my underarms they're, not shaved. I'M gon na do that. Today, in the shower, I'm a very hairy girl, so um, I'm not really shy about that at all, because it's just the way that my body is, I grow hair a whole lot. Typically, I would wrap my hair in a plastic bag and I will do the oil treatment the night before and then wake up the next morning and do the wash and I didn't end up putting a plastic bag on last night. Because if you guys remember, I actually ended up doing the oil treatment earlier that day and I just let my hair stay out and breathe, and you guys my hair ate up the oil okay, sucked it up. Okay, so my hair was like almost completely dry Again by the time. It was time for me to go to bed. So I just kind of put this like little head wrap on, and I slept woke up it's the next morning. So now I'm about to shower all of this stuff out of my head. I also wanted to just make a point to say that typically, I would wash my hair in the sink. I don't I don't always wash my hair in the shower a lot of times. I wash my hair in the sink because I have the nozzle wool spray nozzle that I can kind of control and really get deep into my hair and with the shower head, it's really kind of hard to do that. So most times I wash my hair in the sink disinfect the sink come into the shower, take a shower, rinse, my hair and then take a shower. Also. I like doing it that way, because I have really sensitive skin and sometimes the oils that are in my hair, get on my skin and kind of irritate my skin, so also really quick. Before I turn on the water in the shower, I want to show you guys the products that I'm going to be using to wash my hair today now these are not products that I use on a regular basis, I'm still kind of trying to find my favorite Hair, like shampoo and conditioner, I will say that I did find one that I absolutely love it's my favorite at the moment, but it's really expensive. It'S like 25 dollars a bottle. I think you can find it on Amazon. That'S where I've been getting it. It is The One and Only Argan Oil, shampoo and the conditioner, and the also the hair mask love those two items again like I said they are pretty expensive and your girls has goals for this year, so I've really been trying to stick to using up products. I already have so this is the shampoo and conditioner that I'm going to be using today and, to be honest with you guys, I really don't have a preference for this shampoo or conditioner. I don't feel like this is going to be a repurchase for me. I purchased this at Marshalls a while ago and the reason why I got it was one you guys packaging and then also it said girls with curls de frizz, and I was like de-frizzed curly hair. That'S not frizzy. I don't know that life. I would love to know that life. Let me try it and, to be honest with you guys, I didn't really see any de-frizzing happening with my hair and in fact I felt like it made my frizzes a little more static and um. So I don't. I don't really have a preference for this. I don't think I'm gon na repurchase this in the future, but another thing that really irritates me about curly, hair products and just hair care products in general that I find especially with curly hair products. I don't understand the logic behind making they're making more shampoo than the conditioner like at least make it equal. This is 13 ounces. This is 33. Can I get 33 of the conditioner? Can we swap this out? Curly hair is really thick and dry, especially for a frizzy like this says de frizz. You know not having enough conditioner, it's just to me. I don't get it, I just don't understand. Can we please start making equal amounts of conditioner, as the shampoo at least preferably? I would like more conditioner than shampoo and I'm almost out of the conditioner duh and I have about half a bottle of shampoo left, so I just want to get through these before I buy anything new yeah dolls. Please do comment below and let me know if you have any suggestions for shampoos and conditioners for naturally curly hair. Also, let me know what my texture is, because I'm not entirely sure I always say 4C, because I hear a lot of other black girls saying 4C, but to be 100 honest, I know that that's not entirely true. I did look at a chart on Google, but I feel like every chart, looked a little different and I was just super confused. So if you are a black hair care specialist, please do let me know in the comments below what is my hair type and texture. Okay, guys so let's go ahead and take my hair down, I'm going to show y'all how dry it looks Okay. So this is what it looks like right now. You guys see that that's what it looks like now, you can see how dry it's become since I moisturized it last night, which is crazy to me that my hair, just soaks up that oil, like that, like my hair, barely feels moisture like it does feel moisturized And soft, but it doesn't feel oily like it, doesn't feel like how it was yesterday. I kind of don't even want to wash it. Oh you guys, I low-key, don't even want to wash it, because I know that it's going to turn into a giant, poof fall, and that is just kind of like that's what she's. Looking like, let's wash her um, I tell myself I hate the castle. I live this life, I section my hair off with the conditioner and then I let it sit while I shave my legs and my underarms okay guys. I have to go now and take a shower and shave. Everything I'll give you guys a backup once I'm done showering. Okay, you guys so I am out of the shower, and coincidentally, I've ran out of time to get my hair done before I run my errands, so I have to run my errands for the rest of the week and I have to pop out of the house For a little while, so what I like to do when I have to do that, is I like to just let my hair air dry, I like to do that anyway, kind of just let it air dry, so you're, not putting that much heat in it. I know that I'm going to have to blow dry this later to braid down for my hair to go back underneath the wigs for the rest of the week. I'M going to just show you guys how I style my hair um to go out. So you guys can see how fast my hair dry, I literally just got out of the shower and you guys can see how dry it is already. So I'm just gon na style it and wear my hair natural for the day and then tonight I'm gon na come back to you guys and we are going to blow dry and prep it to go under the wig for the rest of the week. Some Blue Magic - I'm not gon na use too much of it, because I have to blow dry my hair tonight so and you don't want to put on top of oil because what happens you fry your hair out since I'm only gon na have this in, for, Like a short period of time, I'm gon na go ahead and do my hair in a tight bun, which I do not suggest doing you guys, but don't I'm not gon na. Do it too tight, I'm not gon na. Do it like how I used to before um, because that was just way too tight, but I'm gon na I'm gon na try to put it up so it looks decent yeah popping out y'all. She don't she don't want to be going into nothing. My hair don't want to be doing nothing anyways, so that's kind of how it is looking right. Now. Oh, she looks horrible. I had to speed through this because it literally took me a complete hour just to get my hair up in a bun yeah. I know guys it's crazy, you guys she wouldn't go up okay, so, but this is kind of I think, the look that I'm kind of just gon na go with it ah yeah and then another 30 minutes for my edges. I forgot about that part. Okay, doll. So it's the next day and I am about to blow dry my hair flat um and typically, I only like to do three passes of heat blow dry in my hair and then I'll switch it over to the cool setting um or if it starts to. Like heat, if you guys see like smoke, that's a key indicator that you need to switch it over to a cooler setting and or stop. I think I showed you dolls this yesterday, but this is the blue magic hair grease. If you are a chocolate child, then you know what this is um, but I'm just going to section my hair into parts and I'm going to put this onto my scalp to moisturize it. Then I'm going to go back in with my neem oil and I'm also going to cover the strands with this as well like what is this? I don't think I explained this, but I am oiling my scalp and my hair as I blow dry each section. You don't have to do it that way. I just do it the way, because I want to get the moisture back in my hair as soon as humanly possible. So that's why I just go each section as I go and add that in of course you can blow dry your entire hair and then go back over it with the oils. I'M gon na come back to you guys when um it's time to braid my hair down, because this is probably boring. You guys get the idea. You just keep doing that over my whole head, so I'm gon na do that? Okay, you guys, so I wanted to show you what my bald spots look like now that they have been growing out um, so I feel like you, can see it a lot better. I didn't uh use the heat blow dryer on the front part of my hair. I just used it on the cool setting, because obviously I had those spa spots and I kind of want to protect them, but you guys, I hope you can see from here yeah there. It is. Do you see where the ball spot is where it used to be, but it's growing in, like all those tiny little baby hairs, I hope you guys can see what I'm doing but yeah all those tiny little baby hairs are growing in very softly here. I'M actually super excited you guys, because this used to be like completely skin and now I have like little hairs and I also notice more hair growing on um the outer edge as well, which I didn't used to have. I don't even remember having that my whole life, like for most majority of my hot life, I've had like a huge big forehead, so I don't know where that's coming from, but I am happy, but this is growing back in it's like a little soft little short Patch, more neem oil. This is what I've been using on this area. I haven't really put anything else on this area. I try my hardest not to use hair gel on my edges, but sometimes you have to you know when you're styling, your hair, but I try to minimize that and just only use the oil you guys look at this. It'S almost to my boob, I'm sure. If I straightened it, it would be like boob length, like underneath my boob, but I want my curly hair texture like this to be down here. I don't want, like it blown out and stretched so that long. So when I say you know, my hair goal is to grow my hair. You know down to my boob. Some of you might be like, oh, where your hair's already there. No, I mean, like my my curly hair. I want curly hair down to my boob s. My right side of my head is longer than the left side. I don't know why it's like that. It'S been like that for a really long time. It'S the weirdest thing to me, but this side, my right side grows faster and grows longer. Does anybody else have that now that my hair is completely dry, I'm just going to part it down the center and section it into six braids, I'm going to use this hair wax. Stick that I got off of Amazon I'll be sure to link it in my Amazon storefront, but I just use this to kind of hold down the baby hairs while I braid the hair down into place - and you guys please ignore me here - I don't know what I'M doing with my tongue hanging out of my head, I'm laying Megan the stallion okay, guys hobby aims to give you a quick tip if your fingernails are long or not cut straight or Jagged do cut them before you do your hair, because you don't want your Nails snagging on your hair and ripping your hair out. I just had that happen. I had to end up ripping one of my nails off just so I could finish, but we did one side of my hair. I just braided it all the way down to these. Like little French braids and yeah, I'm going to show you guys how I put it up and prep it for a wig that I'm going to put on tomorrow. But right now I'm gon na go finish braiding down the other side of my head and then I'll. Come back to you guys when we're on to the next step: okay, dollies, the braid down, is finally complete. I thought I'd go ahead and kind of show you guys how I position or pin my hair up to go into the wig. So I typically just take a braid like so and I fold it in between the parts and then I take a bobby pin and just pin it down wow um. I did not show that very well, but oh, my God y'all. I don't have makeup on I'm. Like a real unnatural, typically, what I like to do before I go to bed, I'm not going to do it in this video, because it's two o'clock in the afternoon and I'm not about to go to bed. But what I like to do is I like to spray my braids with oil spray at night before I go to bed, and I also do that in the morning when I wake up before I put on my wig cap and my wig. So I'm going to show you guys the oil spray that I use also just in case I did not mention this. I do not wear my wig to bed. I know some girls do that. I just don't do that, so I'm taking my wig off and putting it on every single day, which also allows for my hair to breathe a lot more as well, but in between me taking it off and putting it on. I do spray my braids with some oil, and this is my favorite oil. This is The One and Only Argan Oil oil spray treatment. You guys this is the company. I was telling you guys about before now. I am all out of this spray, as you guys can clearly see. I just placed an order on Amazon, so I should be getting some more of those in these are pretty expensive, they're about 20 dollars and up a bottle. Um. I get the three pack. The three pack is a little less expensive if you get the three pack they're about they come out to about. I want to say 12 to 15 dollars a bottle for me. It'S a little bit expensive, but I haven't really found anything that works for my hair.
