I'D love for you guys to. Let me know in the comments: what do you use to retain moisture in your gray hair? Do you use oils, hair, grease gel in this video? I'M going to tell you guys my experience using blue magic hair grease. I tried two of the blue magic products, the actually yes blue magic. I tried the original blue magic, the blue one, as well as the castor oil brand for my gray, natural hair and, like i said in this video, i'm going to tell you why it won't be coming with me into the next year. So having gray natural hair, your hair will tend to be more on the porous side, and so it is so important to retain the moisture that we put in on our wash days so with high porosity hair. It'S very easy for it to take in water and moisture and as opposed to someone with low porosity where they have to do steam or different things to lift the cuticles so that the water could come in when you have highly porous hair. You don't have that issue, so we don't have a problem getting our moisture in right. The problem is keeping that moisture in and i'm going to share with you guys why wash and go's are my favorite hairstyle to do, because i find that that keeps my hair. The most moisturized, so i have a video here to show you guys, and i want you to know that i used it. This is my hair right after i did a beer rinse. That is definitely coming with me into the next year, using a beer rinse shined made my white hair shine very well this product here that i'm using is called bouclem. It'S a curl, a curl cream. You could use it as a leave-in conditioner, and so i want to let you guys know when i i layer on my products very differently when i do a wash and go than when i do a stretch, type style, and so when i use the blue magic, Castor oil - i did not use it in a wash and go. I used it to put my hair into some protective little twist because, as you can see, i've been trying new hairstyles, and so that would keep my hair nice and flat so that i can achieve these kind of styles. So i love this blue. Here'S the blue magic, originals, castor oil. I used it on wet hair to seal my hair. It smelled really good. As you can see, i love the smell of it. It'S clear which is another plus for gray, hair um, and it was very the the consistency was very gooey. So i'm going to show you guys two videos. This is the first one when i washed my hair and i applied the blue magic when it was wet. When i, i also tried it when it was dry to see if there was a difference, so i put the blue clam first to give me a nice moisturizing effect to my hair, and then i was using the blue magic to seal my hair to seal all That moisture that i put in, i really like the blue, clem curl cream. My husband and my son use it also um, it's a lot thicker than the kinky curly knot today, which you guys know that i love um. The kinky curly, i feel, is more a bit more water-based, whereas the curl cream is a little bit heavier and i feel would be good when i'm achieving a twist or a stretched out style. So that's my first little twist there and um it was okay. I didn't it didn't feel the same as when i seal with oil. I will tell you that i did also use some of the baskin bloom's mango twisting cream. I figured, i would add that on there too. I wanted to do a comparison so that first twist that you guys see, i use the blue magic, castor oil, to seal my hair in this twist that i just did right there. The second one i used the baskin bloom mango twisting cream that has like shea butter lots of awesome butter. So, if you're not into grease, that's something that you might want to try to seal your hair, and so i'll also put that in the description. If you guys would like to check it out, i'm pretty sure there are some sales right now, if you guys want to check it out. So i basically one twist i did blue magic, castor oil to seal and then another twist i did the mango um twisting cream. Let me know if you guys in the comments have used anything from baskin bloom before i know some people were asking me because not all of you do wash and go's you do twist outs or flat twists, and i do think that that mango twisting cream is Really awesome to be able to seal the hair, it's a bit heavier, but it's not like it's not waxy, it's definitely very cream based. So it would be great to be able to give your hair some moisture on wash day and it might even be good too, because you're going to see in the next video that i did use it to refresh or re-moisturize my hair. So the one thing i will say which made me want to try the grease again when my hair was dry, the blue clem is quite thick, as you can see. That'S where a lot of that whiteness on my hands is coming from, but just from the feeling of doing this, i did maybe what about six seven twist, all around my hair felt better when i put the mango twisting cream with the bouclem, but the castor oil Was like, i couldn't really tell much of a difference um. So let's go to the next video now in this video here you guys are gon na see that i had waited for those twists to dry. That'S how much hair that came out when i combed out those twists which wasn't too bad, because my hair sometimes can shed quite a bit as you can see. My sides are my tightest area. Let me know if that's the same for you and i wanted you guys to see what my hair looks like stretched out, because you always see it in a wash and go. If you notice like toward the ends, it's a bit more see-through than it is toward the roots and um. I also wanted you guys to see this because someone else had said you know with my wash and go. I get lots of shrinkage, as you can see. So you wouldn't tell that my hair is quite lengthy um but basically, like i said from i, let my hair dry like what a day or two from the first video that you guys saw and then in this video my hair was quite dry. So it didn't really retain the moisture, like i thought, as you can see and uh it was quite stretched. This is my what don king um fro going on here and it felt like straw, so i was refreshing it and putting the twists in again now, if you guys have ever seen a interview with my mom maggie, she is like she has like amazing hair. When you uh comb it out, okay, so, as you can see to refresh it, i'm not putting water and i'm also i'm using melanin, leaving the mango twisting cream and i'm trying the blue magic. The original in this video. So my hair is dry. I didn't put any: i didn't spritz any water, because my hair want it loves water. Once it gets water, it will shrink a lot. So that's what i'm saying here in this video, but i'm telling you guys so i i sectioned my hair and i first put a little bit of the melanin leave-in softening and it really does soften, like my hair felt so good when i was putting it in There, as you could tell from my face my hair felt so parched, which really showed me that it is high porosity. After all, that stuff i put in there it didn't it didn't stay in so um. I have a little bit from another video to show you guys, okay, so in this video i first put the melanin leave-in softening conditioner and then afterwards i put a little bit of the mango twisting cream to kind of seal that. So i guess you could say i did the liquid cream and the blue magic is going to be like my oil to seal, and this is me detangling, my hair. I have to hold on to it very taut. I use a wide tooth comb and you can't hear it, but let me tell you my hair is very tightly coiled so to be able to comb through. That is not always easy, which is why i'm not a fan of stretching my hair a lot. So again, i did a comparison. This was my first time trying the original blue magic grease and when i rubbed it into my hand, i noticed a difference between that one and the castor oil with the original blue magic. I noticed a lot more sheen. In my hand - and it wasn't as thick so i put that on top and then i pretty much just retwisted my hair and maybe about six or seven twists again um. I was trying to like dip my finger in the grease each time i went down the strand and if you guys, also notice when i do my hair in those kind of styles or especially when i detangle once i get to the end, i get my little Scissors and i snip off that little straggly end that you saw there so in this next section that i'm taking, which is quite big, i'm pretty sure i'm going to separate that even more but um like i said that leaving for melanin, i don't like it as A leave-in conditioner, but i love it as a refresher if my hair is in a stretched state like this, to be able to make it more pliable. When my hair is dry and dry like the sahara desert, it will not move or go anywhere. So that's me putting in the mango twisting cream from baskin bloom into my hair and again that also added another layer of moisture with a little bit of you know butters in it. But then afterwards, i'm not sure. If i use the i like documenting, because it reminds me because sometimes i forget, as we're gon na watch, we'll see if i um, if you notice, when you're detangling your hair and it's giving you some resistance, really start as close to the end as possible. And then work your way up. That will save your hair because you guys know i've been lazy, sometimes with my hair and a lot of hair has come out. So that's what i did here in this video and then separate it in half and let me know in the comments does my wash and go's fool you guys. You may not think that i had all of this hair, so i tried the castor oil on the top and when i put this castor oil, i noticed it was a lot thicker or filmier than the original blue grease. So if i had to choose between the two i would say i like the original. I remember my mom putting that in my hair when she used to blow dry it and put it in, like you know, a couple of different braids, but basically i'm braiding up. My hair into - let me see if you guys, could see i'm talking to my little guy there, so this is a little bit further down. So i pretty much twisted all of my hair up and and every other braid. I was trying blue magic, castor oil, but in all of them i put the um in all of them. I put the melanin, leave-in conditioner and then the mango twisting cream. So here's my review now because that's what my hair looks like underneath here i have my twists and i'm going to be showing you guys a video. Let me know if you'd like to see it of how i got this look, but i am not going to be using blue magic and i know i told you guys to not always um make a decision on a product just like on your first try um. I made sure to try it in different ways. I tried it wet and then i try to dry. I haven't tried it as a wash and go yet but again guys. Remember i told you whatever it is that you're using let your hair be the determining factor on whether or not it's something that you want to continue trying, because my hair, let me know that blue magic wasn't for me. So i did talk to you about another video that if you do use grease and it does work for you - you don't have to change. What'S not broken. You know so um continue to use the things that work for you. If you find it works for your hair, that's awesome, but for me personally, my hair didn't feel any more moisturized than if i did a wash and go. I actually feel like my hair. Now i feel my hair is more moisturized when it's in a wash and go state, i'm trying to think of a time when i've had my hair. I think when my hair was more melanated. I, when i did flat twist or twist styles, my hair might have felt a little bit more like it didn't feel as much as straw as it does now. So you know a lot of people, wonder when you go gray, you know. Does your texture change? You know does styling and different things like that change and because i pretty much kept with my wash and go style, i didn't see much of a difference, but when i stretch my hair, as you guys saw when i put it in a fro state, my hair Likes as little manipulation as possible and some people might think well, when you do a wash and go and you're you know raking in the gel, that's a lot of manipulation. It is but not as much as twisting another thing i notice when my hair is in a stretch state as opposed to a wash and go is i definitely need to refresh or re-moisturize my hair. I do know that many who put their hair in twist because it's in a twist they feel like it stays moisturized longer than when their hair is out, but that wasn't the case for me. I found that i had to maybe for like the first two days. My hair stayed nice and moisturized, but after the third or fourth day - oh, my goodness like right now, i definitely need to wash my hair, but i'm happy for styles like this. When i want to stretch my wash day - or i mean it will stay, i can still put some water in there and and retwist it every couple of days. But that's why washing goes are. For me, my hair loves to be coiled, it loves to be together - and i was just talking about this with my um, my mom and my sister um, and you guys may find this too. When your hair is gray, do you find when you comb it that it? The texture, is a lot looser and it's almost straight sometimes because that's the case with my mom's hair, but only in the front um. Is it like that? But in the back it's a little bit more um a little bit more textured. You know a little bit more of a curl pattern, but for me, if i put my hair the way you guys saw it like that it wouldn't take long before it starts shrinking again, even if i comb it out, which is another reason why, at times it Can be a struggle when i go and get my hair cut at the barber and i'll? Have it all combed out like that and he'll snip it into a really nice shape. But then you go home and i wash it in my hair. You know that's the struggle when you have really tightly coiled hair, um hi there guys good to see you pamela, your hair loves the blue magic, castor oil. Well, that's good! And again, this is not to say that, because it doesn't work for me, it won't work for you guys, but i wanted you to know that i did venture out of my comfort zone. I did try something new and you know how, in your gut, you're like this is not gon na work, but i still said to myself: well, let me try it and see because i don't know until i try, because i haven't used blue magic in a long Time, um, but something i did see in the store: it's like a a reddish, it's like a little tin and it has like a silver top. I think it's called like crown or something like that. If you guys remember what it is. Let me know in the comments um that might i remember my hair liking, but if i think about it, my mom used that when she used to hot comb, my hair, so i noticed sometimes when it comes to certain products - they're really good. If you do your hair a certain way now with pamela - oh, you said: olive oil, blue magic has an olive oil um brand too. That'S interesting yeah. I think i saw somebody's video. They have like so many different um kinds. Now, when i was younger, it was just the blue one, the original that i remember, i think, there's another one too bergamot or something like that. That has like the little herbs and stuff in it, but i'm not trying to go and give the beauty supply store. Any more of my money, i have been there quite a bit the past couple of uh past couple of days. You know trying to try these different protective styles and i wouldn't call this a protective style. It'S just. I wanted to switch it up. I wanted to do something different and see how it would look - and i love this - these are passion twists um. I think the brand i got it from is called nola, tresses um and the colors 51. So thank you. Sheila sheila is my product guru. Thank you. Royal crown hairdressing - i remember my mom using that in my hair, when she would straighten it, and so, if you're straightening the hair and you want it to, you, know, be smooth and lay down my hair love that, but now that i even think about it, like I'M gon na see, if i could put in another video a picture of myself when i was in school and my mom would do my hair and it would be straight. But i think i had highly porous hair even at that young age, because it will always poof it would never lay completely. You know down my sister's hair when my mom used to hot comb, her hair. First of all, my sister has that natural jet black color, and so when my mom would straight comb it it just laid. So she definitely still has that low porosity, hair um, but the only time i really saw my hair look. Silky was when i um was when i had relaxer, but then it would be really really fine. You know i wasn't able to achieve that body uh to it. Thank you. Novella royal crown is another um blast from the past. That'S really good! So sheila have you ever used grease on your hair, since it's been natural, has anybody else used grease on their hair, there's quite a bit of um different ones to try? You know, besides blue magic, because i know some might say well if that didn't work for you, you know, try something else, but i have fallen back in love with the baskin blue mango twisting cream. I hadn't really used it in a while because, like i said, i mostly wear my hair in a wash and go but um i loved it. I loved the feel of it when i put it in my hair now the other times that i did use it. It didn't like seal in my hair, like i haven't, found anything that when i put my hair in a twist, i can keep that style as long as i do a wash and go when i do my wash and go my style lasts. Can last me like two three weeks and it still feels moisturized now. Will it be a little bit tangled if i um let it go too long? Yes, but i cannot describe to you like. I don't like the feeling, especially now with my gray hair. I do remember when my hair was not as gray as it is now. I could achieve a lot more with my hair, but it's it's a little bit different um. So i want to also encourage you guys if you do notice a difference with your gray hair. Then, when your hair was colored, you know it's okay, it's it! It'S not abnormal and you really have to like experiment and see what your new hair likes um and for me, my hair loves gel, and my sister mentioned that as well. I just did an interview. I did another video with my mom to help those of you who are transitioning from relaxed to natural, to have some tips and hear her story, so i'm gon na have that coming up for you guys soon, but i just wanted to share with you my experience With the blue magic, because that is like i said not something that i'm gon na continue in my in my arsenal, i tried the s curl, like i told you guys in the last one, the activator. That was a no for me. I prefer the uncle funky's uh curl stimulator and the grease yeah that that's not come with me, so those are three things i did try this year that i wasn't a fan of now. There was something i found. I think the youtubers name is called shay ray de la soul. She told me about this detangling treatment, a pre-poo from the brand just for kids. Remember they used to make relaxers. I think they still do um, it's called curl piece and i'm gon na have a video for you guys on that later on this week of me, using that i loved it, it reminds me of the african pride pre-poo, and so now i have three favorite pre-poos To choose from when i'm detangling or starting off my wash day but um yeah, the grease is not a go for me. If i would try something i did like the melanin twisting butter. I think it is. Let me know if you guys have tried that also but um. The only thing with that. I did notice a little bit of flaking the next day for my hair um, and even when i did this style, you guys didn't see it but um mixing the blue clem and then it was quite a bit of product that i put on there. So that's another thing that you have to be careful of, especially if you have fine gray natural hair, not to layer on too many products, and you guys also have to remember i'm trying different things so that you know different ones who watch. I have my favorites that i like, but i'm willing to try different things to tell you guys how it works for me, but um, just because some something didn't make my favorite list doesn't mean it's, maybe not something that you could try. Um, i'd love also to hear from you guys any like heavy moisturizing heavy sealing products that aren't grease that you use for your hair like sheila. Do you use you're, letting me know right now you use liv or vita point back in the day now use grape seed, oil or regular, castor oil for your scalp and your ends and sheila. Do you um mostly stick with wash and go or i forget? What'S your go-to hairstyle norvella, you said you used the original blue magic on your natural hair and it's about 90 gray, almost completely white and you use it as a sealer. Okay. First of all, i love your um profile picture. If that's your hair, it looks awesome. How do you usually wear your hair novella and do you put it on dry hair or is your hair wet when you use it, because that's another thing that i was thinking um, definitely putting oil on my wet hair is a feels a lot better than putting The grease on wet hair for my for my gray hair it didn't it didn't, go too well. Um grape seed oil, castor oil, i've tried it seems too heavy for my hair um. My edges love it especially the jamaican black, castor oil. I also love the baskin blooms herbal oil, so she could have castor oil in it. I like a lot of mixed oils. Your hair is ww, not sure what that means. Um sheila you wash dry and go you. Never air dry use a hooded, dryer. Okay. So you use your hair, i mean you style your hair in the wash and go state and you sit under a dryer to dry it, you use it on wet, hair. Okay, thank you, novella and your hair loves. It is your hair, long or short just wondering, and do you feel like your hair, is a higher porosity and sheila um? Do you find that your hair, when it's in a stretch state, does it act differently than when you do it in the wash dry and go it's so amazing to hear everybody's different experiences, which again just shows that one size doesn't fit all you know you have To do what what works for you? That'S correct: okay, yeah um! I know a lot of people talk about how their gray hair has a mind of its own, and i really didn't feel that to be true for me until i do it in a stretched state. So in the stretch state i have the length you know you could see how much hair that i have, but i i think, i'm more for definition and i am able to achieve a bit of volume while my hair is still in a wash and go state. So what about you guys? Do you find that you're more concerned with having volume or definition or maybe you do a certain style, because you know it keeps your hair, the most moisturized and i'm wondering if that's the same, for you too sheila. Do you find that your hair also stays more moisturized in a wash drying go than? If you do it stretched? I know they had said that again just keep letting your hair be the determining factor, because i know there have been times where i myself, who tell you i'll, watch a video and there's someone that i'm watching that i'm like wow they. You know they sound like they know what they're talking about, and i think maybe i'm gon na try this. This may be for me, but i i always do tell myself to take it with a grain of salt um, there's nothing wrong with trying, but it's okay. If uh, you know, i try something and it doesn't work for me, i'm trying to see if i have um. I just want to show you guys again real quick when my hair was in this fro state like right about here. So as you as you guys saw here, i only had a little bit of shedding, which was good um. But do you see this area right in here those edges and - and let me know if that's the same for you or maybe it's the back of your hair or the kitchen as they call it, but i this area right here is the most frizzy um. You know than the other areas, and another thing i notice are my ends - are so much more raggedy when it is in this fro state than when it's in a um wash and go so. Yes, i have some length to it. You know, which is a lot more than when my hair is in a wash and go, but norvella your hair is high porosity and oh, that's your blonde hair. Okay, your hair is all green now nice. So what do you find? Um novella was the biggest difference. Even when your hair was blonde than when it's gray now, did you go blonde to transition to going gray, uh sheila, you said your hair doesn't like a twist out. It starts to lock after two days, wow and i'm wondering too sheila when you say that if i wonder if some of us just shed a little bit more than others, it's very true that you um, that you mentioned that as far as uh, my hair doesn't Lock, but it just starts to feel brittle like that's when i actually feel that texture that a lot of people talk about when they think about gray, hair um, but to be honest with you, even when i was transitioning from relaxed to natural, i noticed that um. I had to get used to my hair's texture when you're not used to your hair's texture. It'S like wait. My hair, when it was relaxed, was smooth. You could put your hands down on the shaft and you know no friction, but when it was natural it was very different and i had to get used to that. So now i feel even with gray hair. I have to get used to that different texture and me - and my sister have spoken about this - a lot because sometimes you could think something's wrong with your hair, but you're, really just comparing it to a totally different state. If you're, comparing your hair to your relaxed hair, that's night and day, you know our natural hair has texture to it, and, and i find for some keeping it stretched - keeps their hair healthy. Like green beauty, she talks about how she stretches her hair to maintain. You know length and things like that, but for me i mean i'm not going to give up on stretching my hair, but it i know it loves, wash and goes hi carla. You use water and wave nouveau curl activated. Your hair is very soft and natural. Carla. Thank you for reminding me in the another video i told you guys. I tried the s curl activator right and i told you i had tried other s-curl products, but that's not true. It'S wave nouveau that i tried when i was transitioning from relaxed to natural. Let me tell you that saved me, even though i only lasted three months of transitioning um that softened my new growth a lot. So thank you for mentioning that. So you just use that now, with your hair, carla, you said your hair is very short yeah that i would think is perfect when your hair is short, uh novella, you had relaxed hair when wearing when you were wearing the gray okay and do you notice? Well, obviously, i'm pretty sure you notice a difference. Are you natural now i think so. Is that what you had said? Are you natural or are you relaxed? I'M sorry, i didn't even ask that and sheila you don't stretch your hair, you just dry and go okay. So when you say that, do you mean like you just wash your hair, you sit under the dryer, you let it dry and then that's it like you, don't um. You have mentioned it earlier. You had a permanent with the blonde hair, so you had a permanent color. With the blonde hair. I mean a permanent blonde. Color yeah, i am okay, you are natural. Now you had a relaxer, i don't know i had read earlier. You had relaxed your hair when you were wearing the gray but you're natural. Now, i'm glad that you found something, i'm glad that the blue magic works for you. Do you put anything underneath the blue magic like a leave-in, conditioner or anything like that, and let me know in the comments guys um how what your go-to style is no you're natural now know it. Yes, okay, thank you, novella for sharing that um with us, like just the couple of people that we had here on the live, just shows how different you know. Everybody is. You have some who don't stretch some who do some? Who use grease some? Who don't and then you have carla? I also think um carla's comment also shows that the length of your hair makes a difference too. When my hair was shorter, i didn't have to do as much to it as when it got longer and then when it got longer, the look that i was going for as it was short. You know when it's not that many inches on the top, and i want to have some height - you use less product but as it starts to grow, more use a certain amount of product and it starts to you know lean off to the side. So um. You also have to show you also have to realize that the length of your hair could also affect how style comes out to so you do use a leave-in, conditioner and use blue magic to seal it. Okay, that's great, and you find that your hair stays moisturized. You don't need to um refresh it you're leaving is giovanni direct leave-in or tree naturals, honey, fruit, hair milk. No gel got it okay, so you just wash your hair, you put in the giovanni or the hair milk, and then you sit under a hair, dryer and then you're good to go for like a week, sheila louise, you said i have really thick beautiful, gray hair. It looks healthy. Did i ever relax my gray hair? Thank you for the question. Louise. No, i didn't i've been natural since 2011. So when i decided to go gray, my hair was already natural and i did a big chop. So it was um. It was different when my hair was a lot shorter, like i said, as opposed to it being now a lot longer, but no, i haven't relaxed my gray hair. My mom has relaxed her gray hair before and, like i said, i'm going to have a video for you guys um telling her experience. Do you have relaxed hair louise only for a couple of days, yeah and that's another thing too i'mma, be like real honest with you guys. I i can be a lazy natural, like my sister, has helped me she's, like um she's, so dedicated. You know to her hair care system and what she does with her hair, but um when i, if i do a wash and go - and i know it could last me like a week two weeks, then i'm not going to do a twist or twist out just So i could have to retwist it again. So for those of you sometimes who look at what i do and you're like that's too much, i totally get it. You know you have to do what works for your um. What works for your lifestyle too? You know whatever is convenient carla, you're saying yes, i'm guessing. That is an answer to me saying the difference when your hair is shorter or no. I think i asked you do you just um. Do you just use the wave nouveau? That'S it in your hair, like nothing else to style it, and i tell you i think i've said this before i love when i've cut my hair at first when it was really short and then now when it has a lot of hair. I didn't like that in between awkward stage where it didn't know what it was doing when it's really short wash it condition it don't need much gel. You know, keep it moving as it's longer um. You know i'm able to get a bit more volume and things like that, but i have my moments where i i'm like do. I want to cut it again, but i actually i'm i'm gon na make it as full of a tapered cut as i can. I don't see myself like growing it long because, for me, shape is a big factor with my hair. I like it in the shape that it is right now. Do you have it like low-cut carla or is it a tapered cut? I don't know if i asked you that already and i'd love for you guys to. Let me know in the comments with your gray hair. Is it long or you know, collarbone like what's the length of your gray, natural hair, i'd love to know how many of you have short hair? How many are you know, rocking longer hair and if you didn't get a chance to please check out on the interview that i did with lisa, i have quite a bit of interviews coming up to share with you guys, which i can't wait and what i love About lisa, like i had said in her interview, is she's still in her transition. She has not finished um, so we get to go along the journey with her and the other person who i'm going to be interviewing. You know, did a big chop so i'll be able to show you guys different experiences of people at different stages of their transition. For those of you who are on the fence and you're watching and you're, like i don't know, am i gon na, you know cut my hair or not, but if you guys don't have any other questions, i'm going to wrap up this live um. I hope you enjoyed my experience about um blue magic hair grease using the castor oil as well as the original um formula, and also the s curl activator was something else that i tried this year, but it's a no for me for right now. Um. I soon will have a video coming up about my favorites that are going with me into the next year. Um, that's something else that you realize as you go along, you might start paring down some of the things that you have like from the first favorite video that i did for you guys to now. There'S some things that i mentioned in those videos that i'm not using and new things that i have so i can't wait to do a video on that, for you guys. Let me know if you'd like me to separate it like shampoos, conditioner stylers or if you want it all at once, sheila you deep condition weekly, you pre-poo with the oils before wash day, so you do like overnight. Pre-Poo and you'll miss your hair to reactivate the leave-in after three days. That'S great to me. That sounds very simple. You know you didn't use much products in your hair and then all you have to do is mist your hair every now and again, and if you don't mind re-twisting your hair, you know that's, that's. Definitely that's what my sister does: she'll retwist her hair she'll. First twist it on her wash day, and then she puts it in these, like you know, mini puffs and then um, i think, maybe like after a week or so she'll refresh and retwist her hair until the next wash day. So she also has changed when she first started. I remember this girl. It felt like she was always washing her hair and i was like good for you. Honey i'll see you in two weeks, but now i notice she's stretching out her hair a lot more and i don't know if it's because her hair is longer or you know she started to figure out what works for her hair. So i can't wait to hear from you guys in the comments you know what you got, what you guys are using for your hair, as well as what stage of transition that you're in and um look forward to a video that i'm putting out later this week. Using the curl piece detangling treatment, which i loved - okay, thank you so much sheila carla novella, louise um, pamela and um. There was someone else who came on here: p, mcgee and capcaps. Thank you guys so much for joining me today and i look forward to seeing you on the next video bye.

Kim Garcia: I have a TWA and my go to style is a wash and go finger coil and dry. I’ve never used hair grease on my newly natural and graying hair. I think that would be too heavy for my texture. I would like to see you do a comparison on a full wash day system; shampoo, conditioner, and styler. This was a very informative video for me, I learned so much about my hair thru you and your viewers. ❤️

Evelyn N. Ackon: Hi Nina, I'm 43 and I have started graying in the front and the middle of my hair, thanks to you and a couple ladies I have never thought of coloring my hair, I am natural, I have been natural for 10yrs the one problem I have with my gray hair is that it keeps breaking off and it's frustrating , I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

Demi: I use the LCO method, I use it mostly on my ends on my wash day to keep my ends well moisturized. My ends thank me..

Starr M Mc: I like to seal with a thin coat ofJBCO. I moisturize with Oyin hair dew and seal every couple of days. Grease has not worked for me at all, JBCO is heavier but not greasy and can be thinned out with thinner sealing oils like grape seed. Wear my hair in twists all the time, it’s about 14 inches but I shed a lot of hair and don’t want it all over the house so I don’t wear it out. It’s only straight when I go to the hairdresser every 4 months for a good trim. Your mom and I are the same. My grey front and crown are straight with no definition and the back has more texture. Wish I still had kinky texture in the front and crown, my entire head used to be 4b/c. No Melanin changes everything.

Tamala Turner: You really look like your mom with it combed out and stretched. Beautiful!

Diahann O: At 11:12, of course, I was fooled! Big time! I would not have thought your hair is that long!

Ntirewellness: I created my own oil recipe for my hair. I use olive oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil and tea tree oil, rosemary and jojoba oil. I seal my oils with my homemade conditioner.

indria drayton: I am trying to decrease the Suave conditioner from my goop to see if I retain more moisture without it.

indria drayton: I use Suave shea butter and almond conditioner mixed with distilled water, shea butter, glycerin, olive, grapeseed, avocado, coconut, almond, neem, rosemary, sage, tea tree, peppermint, rosehip seed, basil, anise, lavender oils and sometimes other scented essential oils like lemon or orange or a ton of vanilla. That's my diy goop. I use castor oil separately over that and may have to add more aloe vera juice to keep my hair moist. Seems to work for me.

indria drayton: I use aloe vera juice 1st, then my diy penetrating oils then my diy conditioning goop with a little castor oil to seal.

indria drayton: Love these colors! Where'd you get those curtains?

Kam E.: Personally I never liked that hair grease. Glad you crossed over, lol

indria drayton: The Royale Crown was the one with the Bergamot. Had to hold the can in one hand and my ear with the other in that hot kitchen.

indria drayton: It attempts to be collarbone length when I stretch it.

Carol S: Moisture Max is good I like it...try it

indria drayton: Need more twists!!

Margaret Young: I have twa salt & pepper hair and I use As I Am Products, but I'm looking for something else.

indria drayton: Never heard of Bask in Bloom, but that might be because I wasn't looking.

indria drayton: That's my hair! PARCHED!!!!

indria drayton: Oh! Those are braids! Cool!!!

indria drayton: My hair is the land of knots with a wash n go. My hair in front is straighter than the back because it's white but it tangles more. ??????

indria drayton: Like how you are wearing the scarf.

indria drayton: You have a lot of length!

Charlotte Mccray: It's called Crown Royal

Gwendolyn Madden: Royal Crown

indria drayton: Don King....
