It'S moisturized and it's hydrated and her hair is becoming even more healthy. So i want to share this with you guys. I want to go ahead and jump into the tips and everything that i've learned over the years, especially having chimera. So let's go ahead and dive right into the video. Before i even begin with the tips i wanted to share with you guys my story and my background with my hair over the years. What has happened with the journey of my hair? I'Ve had short hair before and it was back when i was a, i think i believe, a sophomore in high school. My hair was this short. I had it up to my shoulders because i was a cheerleader back then, and i needed the wig to fit in my hair because we were like a competition team and i needed it to fit and my bun was not working. So i had to cut my hair in order for my bun to shrink, and then i could use the wig so that i can compete. So that's when i cut my hair fast forward into college days. That'S when i started coloring straightening, my hair. Actually, i was straightening my hair over the years like high school over the course of those years. I started coloring my hair in college, and that was damaging my hair a lot. I also was tying my hair up when it was wet and that caused a lot of damage to my hair. It was pretty gross because my hair started to smell. Wasn'T until i was a sophomore or junior in college is when i actually said samantha, you need to start taking care of your hair and i stopped coloring my hair. I think the last time i colored my hair, my hair was like in highlights and my hair was brown, so i decided to color my hair back to black and just you know, keep my hair that way and that's when i ran into the curly girl method And i started to learn how to take care of my hair, what i needed to do, which was like detangling with my fingers using cold water after i finished washing my hair and using products that didn't have those harsh chemicals like parabens, silicones and sulfates. So i started learning about how to take care of my hair and how to get my curls back, because my curls were kind of crazy and i had a lot of split ends, breakage from everything that i was doing over the course of those years. So i wanted to say that so i could tell you guys: my hair hasn't always been healthy or it hasn't been the way it is. I'Ve gone through so much with my hair, with coloring straightening and doing whatever to my hair, not caring about what products to use. I was using a whole bunch of random products from the shelves like tresemme, head and shoulders. I was using. I never use products specifically for curly hair. Let'S just say that i was using whatever products smelled, good and was affordable at the time so and i started learning about curly hair products and i didn't use any like curly hair products, specifically back when i was like in high school and in college. I was always using like products like, i said, smell good and all that good stuff. You guys know - and i was also using like la looks - hair gel to you - know - keep my hair like in curls and i wasn't using products curated for curly hair. So i have to say that, because my hair journey wasn't always nice and easy, my hair wasn't healthy, we're going to go ahead and dive in to the tips, so the first tip that i want to say is choosing the right product you want it like. I said over the course of the years i wasn't choosing the right product. You want to make sure that you're using the right products and when i say the right products you want to make sure the ingredients are clean. The ingredients do not contain like sulfates. I know some people, like my sister she likes to use uh. Sometimes she likes to use sulfates because it does help cleaning your scalp. Everybody is different. Everybody likes to use some people like sulfates in the shampoo. Some people - don't it just - depends on what works for your hair. One product can work for somebody, and one per product may not work for another person, so it just depends on what you use for your hair, but you want to make sure, like i said, you're using the right products. You want to make sure that the product is moisturizing, your hair, nursing, your hair, hydrating, your hair, preventing your hair from split ends, anything that your hair is needing and you want to buy those products. Curated for your hair needs so tip number two: is you want to protect your hair from outside stresses whether that's laying in the bed outside or anything anything you want to make sure that you're protecting your hair. You want to use a head wrap and you also want to incorporate some hair oil. Now. My recommendation with oil is like jojoba oil, maybe castor, i feel like castor. Oil is a lot of heavy in my hair, so i don't like to use it. You can use like avocado oil there's a lot of oil specifically, but i love jojoba oil. I love coconut oil. Sometimes coconut oil can be a little too heavy. It can irritate like for my daughter. Coconut oil doesn't work well in her hair. It all depends on what works for you. Jojoba oil works. Well, there's almond oil, there's a lot of oils that you can use my recommendation. I love oils from. I think it's hadas hadassah botanical. They may have changed their name, but their oil is super good. There is one with henna oil and that worked well. My brother used it for two weeks. He was trying to grow his hair. He was using the oil consistently and he knows the big difference with his hair because he's been trying to like dread, his hair, and he didn't like the phase of when it was super short. So he used the oil and he saw a big difference with his hair growth. So that's oil that i absolutely love, there's like a whole bunch of oils, guys you just have to find what works for your hairs. Now, when i say head wraps, i use the megan good head wrap and i love using the head wraps chimera. She doesn't like to use head wraps, so i use like a satin tool piece for her and it works well for her. It just depends on work. Works for you, you can use a pillow case or you buy a head wrap and, like i said, i get mine from megan good. I love her head wraps. It works well for my hair, especially that my hair is super long. That'S definitely another tip that works for me and has worked for chimera. Also, you want to make sure that you're using oil to hydrate the scalp, sometimes your scalp - can be super dry and you can see like you can see that your scalp is super dry. I know for camera, i can see when her scalp is super dry and oil has helped a ton when it comes to managing the dryness in her scalp. I just put some oil in her scalp and then i do it at the ends of her hair and it helps her hair a ton as well as me. Sometimes i see like my scalp can be drying, especially with this weather outside. So i like to you know, run some oil before i wrap my hair at night or sometimes in the morning, and i just that's it - i just like to make sure that i'm always hydrating my hair, putting oil and keeping it moisturized. The next tip, i want to say, is drinking lots of water, making sure that you are still eating the right foods. Taking the right vitamins, collagen and biotin is your best friend. You want to incorporate that in your diet. If you don't have access to collagen or you know, vitamins and it's not affordable for you, you can eat the right foods. Eating spinach eating salmon like stuff like that helps you to you know, have a good diet, even though you take care of your hair outside. You need to take care of yourself inside internally, making sure you're eating the right foods not eating. So much junk food like that will help your hair a ton, especially your skin drinking lots of water. Guys helps a ton, it's crazy, because it's kind of hard when you literally sit there and you're like dang, i got ta drink water. It'S hard drinking water constantly. Throughout the day, but making sure that you drink that water definitely will be your best friend with your skin, your hair and everything else guys i guarantee you because it i'm a product of that, and so is my daughter. I always tell her: you need to drink water, you need to eat this, you need to take your vitamins, and her hair has been doing great guys because that, like i said um, i don't know if i mentioned this, but my daughter did go through eczema. She had hair loss and everything that i'm doing is being consistent, and that jumps into my next step being consistent guys, you guys have to be consistent. If you want something to happen, you have to maintain that routine of taking care of your hair moisturizing your hair, wrapping your hair, making sure you're eating the right foods, making sure you're, choosing the right products and sticking to it and being consistent. I know it's hard being consistent, but if you do it over time, you'll see a big difference with your hair. Staying consistent with your routine is a big big must, when you're trying to grow your hair and, like i said people don't grow their hair overnight. Your hair is not going to grow in two weeks. Some people's hair may grow in two weeks, but i'm just saying staying consistent over the course of like a whole entire year, you'll definitely reap the benefits of staying consistent wearing protective hairstyle like for me guys. I always put my hair in braids, even with camera. I always have her hair in some type of braid. If not, she can wear her curly, but most likely you'll see her hair in braids, and that is because i noticed a big difference with protective hairstyles. I noticed that her hair grows even more with protective hairstyles. When i add that oil - and i don't do anything to her hair for like three weeks - i see a big difference with her hair and i do recommend protective hairstyles, especially if you're trying to grow your hair. You don't know how to do. Braids twists work wonders as well. I highly recommend protective hair styling to help with your hair growth, especially when you're using the right oil guys. Those are two are like your best friend protective hairstyles and a oil because, like i said, i've done that with chimera and i've seen a huge difference with her hair and her hair has actually grown. Protective styles is definitely something that you should incorporate into your hair routine, so i definitely recommend that my last tip is stop using so much hair products. I know it's so hard because you want to trial and error every single thing, but find a product that actually works. Don'T use too many products with stick like for me. I'M a minimalist when it comes to my hair. I don't use too much products in my hair. The most products i use is probably like six and it's not even crazy things. What i use is shampoo conditioner. I do the same thing with camera, shampoo, conditioner leave-in and a styling for my braids, and then i use the oil. So i just use those five things in chimera's hair and i just keep it simple, because i notice, when you continuously use a whole bunch of products, your hair is not going to flourish. Your hair is just like what in the world are you doing to me? You want to make sure that you're using minimal products you're not doing too much to your hair. When you start doing too much to your hair, you don't see your hair thrive. Your hair is not going to thrive. I feel, like that's my personal opinion, because i noticed with camera notes. I kept switching products with her and i didn't even know like what products was working for her because i kept switching products. So when i finally sat down with myself and was like hey you're, going to use this product this product and this product and camira's hair, and that's it you're going to keep it in protective style and that's it and i noticed her hair has grown tremendously since I'Ve been doing that because, like i said i was always trial and error with khmer's hair, especially with my hair. I was always like: hey i'm gon na use this product. I just noticed that, like with me, i kept using this product that product this product, because it smells good this product because it says it does this this product, you got ta, keep it minimal, guys keeping everything minimal with your hair products, make sure like when you Find a product keep it in your curl team, don't be so in a rush to switch it out of your routine. Keep it there for maybe a year make sure that you're using the right products for your hair, because you're going to see your hair grow and thrive. Because when you keep switching your products, guys you're not going to see any change in your hair. And that's just my opinion, so those are pretty much my main tips. Another thing that i want to add real quick is that i don't wash my hair often, and i might have mentioned this. I'Ve probably been washing my hair once a month or maybe twice a month. I'Ve been washing my hair because, like i said, i noticed a big difference when i continuously wash my hair back in the day versus now. I only probably wash my hair once or two times a month and it has worked for me. I know you guys may be like damn. She don't wash your hair that off it has worked for me and, like you said, your hair needs to get its natural oils from your hair. So, if you're consistently washing your hair all the time depending on what you do, i understand some people. They may need to wash your hair often, but for me my hair doesn't look gross. My hair is super healthy. I don't have split ends. If i do get a split in i'm, normally i'm using scissors and cutting it off, but that's pretty much what i do with my hair, guys, that's pretty much it. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and i will see you guys in the next one. All right,
