I wonder if historically they had access to all these seed oils. Have you considered purified tallow, lanolin, or other animal fat? I use this on my face and hair instead of seed oils that can make your skin more light sensitive. These can be found on Etsy! :)
@@s__erv trade routes in the past are more extensive than we realize, it's really a matter of what you can afford. On the other hand animals fats would be readily available and are great alternatives.
thank you very much for the video. Could you please share the recipe for the oils you use on your hair roots? you said at minute 36:14 (last video and not this) that you would put the recipe in the description, but I couldn't find it. watching with translator and writing with google translate too, so if there are any mistakes, I'm sorry. I apologize
Weirdly, in my area, all the great classical haircare products are now advertised towards men, such as "beard brushes" (good boar brushes that will 100% work for my hair) and "beard oils" that basically contain all the good oils you listed, as well as "natural rugged beard shampoo " which actually contains the clay and stuff you mentioned, so I guess my straight dark blonde hair is from now on identifying as a beard. I am a woman growing a long beard on my head.
I’m Hispanic and grandma is very old fashioned and hates anything bought in a store 😂. Anyway…….. I grew up washing my hair with a mixture of egg baking soda and real aloe from the garden. She used to make a rose water to rinse it. I stopped 16 years ago because my husband thought it was weird. I started 2 years ago because I have been suffering from dandruff for years and nothing helped. I lived in humid hot climate and I used to wash my hair every Saturday and it was never stinky. 🤷🏻♀️ and yes it was very long because I never cut it in that time (religious reasons)
How do you wash the egg out without it leaving a mess? When ive used egg as part of a conditioning routine there was always some left over that would need store bought shampoo to get out. Do you mix the egg and baking soda or do you use the egg as conditioner and then shampoo it with baking soda?
@@honeysweetbunbun you have to make sure the water you are using to rinse with isn't very hot, or else it will actually cook the egg into your hair 😶. Lukewarm at most, and you won't have any problems.

TYVM! ✨😊🌸🌟 I am often the one who makes these time stamped lists! I know she has hers too, but the summary such as you’ve made here is what I find most helpful.
I’m so glad I came across this video! I am a woman of color with fine curly hair and until now, suffered from severe eczema. It has been 3 weeks that I’ve followed this routine and my scalp is calm for the first time since my mom doing my hair as a young girl. She used my great grandmother’s very Native American routine. I had forgotten the old ways, trying everything out there for curly hair only to have to still use a lot of hairspray or just flat iron it every day. It’s already growing out of the cut and no more shedding. Thank you for getting us back to basics!
*For anyone with dandruff who's afraid of using scalp oils, look into using MCT oil as part of the routine shared in the video.* I have seborrheic dermatitis (kind of a worse version of dandruff), and have to keep the yeast that causes it (by feeding on my natural oils) in check. This type of yeast loves specific types of oils, but MCT oil is one kind it can't feed on, therefore, using it starves the yeast. Using this oil has been a life-changer for me. Some experts believe dandruff may be caused by the same over-active yeast that causes seborrheic dermatitis so you might find relief too.
Hi Glass Peony, thank you so much for this!!! I have sebbhoric dermatitis all along my scalp, maybe even my face??? and my hair is thinning, sadly. (I think it is stress, my hormones, my weight gain, my diet). So you have found instead of jojoba like Katherine recommends, MCT is a better option?
Grapefruit seed oil/extract has been very helpful to me, working it gently onto my scalp. It's highly effective at killing yeasts etc. I used it more before and don't seem to need it as much now. I would use half a dozen drops mixed into alovera gel as the carrier, mixed well in the palm of my hand and rub it into my scalp once my hair was wet, leaving it in for a few minutes. I used to gently put it on my face too as I was prone to red scaly patches at times (oil cleansing works too and I used coconut oil for that - also anti yeast ish). It's a nice alternative too, for when one doesn't want to oil their hair and scalp for a full treatment. I can just get it wet and treat my scalp without much work, and not have suuuper oily hair to deal with re washing. At those times, a quick water only wash suffices. I'm learning now from these videos some new things to try. I've been off shampoo for years now but have never heard of clay washes etc til now.
Tried ghassoul clay this morning for the first time with unbelievable results. My high porosity protein sensitive wavy curly straight going white, old man hair loved it. I did not need conditioner just dressed with a minuscule amount of jojoba and aloe Vera after. Cold rinsing the watery clay out after letting it sit a few minutes and massaging in a war, shower. Incredible. I’ve started black castor oil with rosemary, mint and clove at night with massage. The journey begins. I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else again. I’m so very happy. Thank you for sharing.
If you have thin, finer hair especially curly hair, sweet almond oil is a great alternative. Jojoba is pretty light along with argon oil as well. But sweet almond oil is just a bit lighter. Jojoba is a great choice though. You just don’t need as much as she put in and you’ll use it less! Your hair will tell you what you need 😁
I have very fine, long hair. I use a sweet almond oil/argan/jojoba mixture (amounts totally dependent on what I have in the house). I mix it together in a small bottle and drop a few cloves in. I used to leave it in all night but now have a heated bonnet that I wear for an hour before I wash my hair to give a 'hot oil treatment'.
I love this. Just starting on my long hair journey and I'm 61. Haven't had it cut or trimmed for 8 months. Was at a loss for encouragement in this journey and so glad to find your channel!!
I'm 67 and have colored my hair for years. It's a mousey brown underneath, but am hoping the better diet and this hair care will help. We'll see! Best of luck on your journey!
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
Ive been using rhassoul clay for washing, and apple cider vinegar for rinsing, plus oiling since last dec..... My hair is in much better condition, feels softer & less like straw! Cant imagine using shampoo & conditioner again..... So grateful l came across your fabulous videos Katherine ❤
I was losing my hair in 2015, and totally switched to baking soda. You could see my shiny scalp! And thinning hair runs on my mothers side of the family. Baking soda is amazing! Make sure to dilute it (about 1/4 cup baking soda to about a liter of water and just pour it on, as you rub it in, and rinse! I always do a final rinse in cold water. What a difference! You don’t get the bubbles or foam action, but necessity is mother of invention. I need to condition more, and my hair isn’t as GORGEOUS as yours, but it stopped falling out in clumps. It’s funny, when people ask ‘what did you do?’ And you tell them, but they give excuses as to why they could never do THAT! Thank you! Your hair is gorgeous!🙏🏻💕
There are actually new reports on dry shampoo causing cancer, so I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate your breakdown on boar bristle Brushes! Thank you for giving such an immensely helpful breakdown of your wonderful hair care! I watched all the way to the end regardless of the length of the video. It was amazingly helpful ❤
What would be really helpful would be if you created a calendar say over a normal week (perhaps with different treatments depending on season) showing what you do everyday. You do so many things that it feels a bit overwhelming and confusing but seeing it black on white would help. Thank you! Super interesting video and happy new year!
Also just an extra thing if you boil and then strain about half a cup of golden flax seed in 1 1/2 to 2 cups water it makes a watery slimey solution that's great in a spray bottle to be used as organic food grade flexible hairspray or you can add less water for a firm hold hair gel. The gel/spray is super good for hair health, and the seeds are very good for diet and general health and great to add to stews, breads, soups etc 😁
On a total aside: Brushing your hair is also a soothing process. I'm more than happy to introduce it to my nighttime routine as part of winding down my day, and essentially "self soothing". :)
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
Your last hair video was a HUGE inspiration. The CG method did not help my hair grow and did not look good. This has been a huge help and especially all those oils and braids. I already see a huge difference.
I have long thick red wavy hair that has always been very dry. I tried your method using bentonite clay and then rinsing with a dilute apple cider vinegar and then a further water rinse. I have used shampoo and conditioners for about 40 years and after the clay apple cider wash my hair has never been so soft, light in weight and free of frizz. I love this method and will use it every time I wash my hair which is 1 x week. I highly recommend everyone try it! I thank you so much for getting me out of the shampoo/conditioner rut, which coated my hair with all sorts of horrible build up and just puts more pollutants into the environment. I tried to remember when it was I ever started using conditioner and it was in the 1980s in South Africa when hair salons started selling it and then it kind of took over and began being sold in supermarkets and became a trend where few questioned the need for it. Most brands are so filled with silicon it is just a gunky coating! I mainly used it for detangling and with the clay method I didn't need anything to easily comb out my hair.
for people with colored hair: ive tried this on my hair, and im currently transitioning to exclusive clay washes. Permanent hair color (the ones you get in box dye, anything using a developer) was not affected very much by the clay wash, semi permanent dye i have yet to try but i would assume it would likely take it out of your hair quicker than a color-safe shampoo. Vinegar can affect some toners and hair colors because of the PH spike but in my experience using red box dye and temporary hair colors, it hasn't faded or affected the color at all. Do this at your own risk, if you go to a salon to get your hair done especially be careful with both of these, the process of coloring hair in a salon is much more of a chemical science than commercially available hair colors. UPDATE: IT WORKS WONDERS in the last 6 or 7 washes on my hair my routine has been all-natural products and i have finally perfected it. The clay and ACV wash does NOT alter temporary hair color (dyed my hair fuchsia pink; it's still very much pink) and has made this "temporary" color last extremely long; longer than it ever has on my hair previously. Currently i put the clay in my hair, ruse it out and scrunch with warm water to open the cuticle and release oils, then rinse with my ACV and rinse that out with cold water. For curly hair i use a sea-salt and ACV spray on my hair and then rake through Aloe Vera gel before scrunching, and every other wash/style i'll add in a shea moisture leave-in hair mask beforehand. i also add shea moistyre conditioner before my ACV rinse on every other wash; my color has deepened a bit more to red than the fuchsia pink i had before, but this routine WORKS It has also decreased my wash times massively; i only have to wash my hair maybe once every 2 weeks, but i am using kaolin clay, at a ratio of 1 tsp dry to about 16oz. of water, which lasts me about 2 washes; i also shake in some rosemary and clove oil, for hair growth and also because they smell good
I just bought some rhassoul clay, I haven't used it yet. I have waist length salon color treated hair (dyed red) and I am a little scared about this stripping my color. I have used store bought semi-permanent red dye as well. Do you think it will be okay using this on my color done at the salon?
@@melinalack6224 i now have an entire routine, all natural using clay to wash my hair and my semi-permanent red-pink hair color has NOT faded at ALL! So i'd say this (i also rinse my hair with cold water 90% of the time) has been very good for my color treated hair!
@@melinalack6224 i'd say: keep the clay on your roots and keep the water cold (at least the water on your hair) and you should be good to go! This dye used to fade much quicker than it has in the last month i've had it using regular sulfate shampoo; right now it's about as vibrant as the day i dyed it, save for being a little deeper likely due to oxidation. If i was using regular shampoo i'd be back to reddish-blonde by now, but it's still very vibrant pink with the clay
Note that you can dissolve citric acid powder (found in the canning aisle of the grocery store) in water for a scentless vinegar rinse replacement 😀Repeating Katherine's words, go easy on the acid! Maybe try 1/4 tsp to 1cup of water and adjust from there 😀
I would love some additional tips on the rinse process. I tried the wash for the first time using recommended clay consistency and found that even three very thorough (I thought) rinses with the vinegar did not get all the clay out. Really wanting this method to work for me so hoping others can suggest when I'm doing wrong for when I try again in round two.
I mix my clay washes with ACV and aloe vera juice so it’s all in one step. I have type 3c/4a natural curls/coils and I appreciate your videos. Your hair is beautiful! ❤

Working my way to healthier hair at 52. I have fine slightly wavy hair. I used to box color it every 2 months and used Sauve shampoo and conditioner 3-4 times a week. I quit coloring my hair 3 months ago and switched to Hair Food brand products and now wash once a week. I no longer use a hair straightener or blow dryer. I use a drop of jojoba oil on my ends. I wish my clumsy fingers could learn how to braid. Oh, well! Good luck and blessings to all on their healthy hair journeys.😊
Where were you in 2020? You are such a blessing for me.... As a curly hair girl I always had to listen bad things about my hair... My one and only thinking as a kid was to do permanent straightening... And i did that!! I would never do rebonding and damage my hair if I knew that curls can be this much gorgeous.. I am trying my best to follow your routine now(I am not getting everything here in my country that you are suggesting) though I don't have rhassoul clay but I am using bentonite...and I never ever had this much gorgeous curl before trust me... If i knew that my hair can be this manageable & shiny i would never damage my hair....I had to cut my hair short to get rid of those damaged ends...now i don't even have half of my hair.. But I believe If i keep following your routine my hair will get better soon!!! Keep sharing with us!!❤️
'Sneha' comes from a root meaning a sticky, glistening thing. In most Indo-European languages, this means oil, but it's also the root of the English word 'snow'. 😀
Having different textures on one head is extremely common among African American hair, I have 4. I'm very surprised to hear that you have the same thing! Love your hair videos, they are so soothing. 🙂
Just about as pale as pale can be here, and my hair has 4 textures too! It's amazing what we can find out our hair when we start letting it do it's own thing. I was one of those people who thought my hair was "straight, but super dry, frizzy, and poofy" until I was nearly 30.😅
@@devorahstree671 True, it's not applicable to only hair. 🙂 Humans are just as weirdly complex as we are simple. Honestly though, hair is a great allegory for both our intricacies and baseness, historically and otherwise. Oh, what a tangent!
I’m Mexican, my hair is curly on the top half almost like hers and almost straight on the bottom, is almost like it couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. My mom’s is curly and I always wanted to have her hair.
I'm so excited to have found your content!! I'm 57 and recently stopped coloring my hair and cut all my color treated hair off. I'm in the process of growing out a super short pixie cut. While I like it, I crave long hair - even at my age. I have a slight wave to my fine hair. I have been told I have a lot of hair, it's just fine. I will be transitioning to no POO immediately. Thank you for all your knowledge and pointers!!!
Mine too! My hair is nearly waist length I stay away from ppl with scissors! The hardest part for us is keeping it from breaking off because each hair is so delicate. I am 52.
My hair is naturally super oily ( I also have super pin straight hair so probably plays a factor) and never knew why. I would wash and wash which was causing more oil. This is really helping, I recently got that boar brush it’ll be coming in soon. I love brushing my hair, it’s really relaxing, it’s my happy time. Being able to do the 100 finally with the boar is going to be so nice!
I really appreciate the time lapse photos that shows your hair growth journey. Other videos makers NEVER give the amount of time it takes to notice change.
Okay, so I tried this routine for the first time last night. The only thing I did apart from the video was use distilled water to wash my hair and, oh, the difference all these things made! After letting the microfiber towel soak up water from my hair, I could immediately tell my hair felt lighter and there were hardly any tangles! I was dumbfounded because I've _always_ struggled with horrible tangles even if I used conditioner and a detangling spray (I have very curly hair). Literally floored. I let it air dry then gently used my fingers and a wide tooth comb to rid whatever minimal tangles were there. Then I sealed my ends with what oil I had (still waiting for my Jojoba oil to arrive). I braided it before going to bed (still waiting on my satin night cap). *I also didn't thoroughly rinse out the apple cider vinegar. I did pour some water over my hair to rinse it a little, but I didn't vigorously rinse it out. This morning, my hair is _so_ soft and feels amazing! Another thing I've always struggled with was frizz and I have _none_ this morning! There's *_no way_* I'm going back to shampoos and other chemical hair products! *I do **_highly_** recommend using distilled water for washing your hair.* I have very hard water where I live and I just found out that hard water can damage your hair and also cause hair loss. Part of my goal is to grow more voluptuous hair & I believe switching to distilled water is an important factor to prevent hair loss and tangles. I used a gallon of distilled water and don't regret it. I know some may not can or want to pay for distilled water each time you wash your hair but you can also make it at home for free. I choose to buy it because I'm so busy and it cuts down on time for me. My plan going forward during transition is: *1)* Wash my hair twice a month and gradually get to once a month. I was already going a week between washes and, this time around, I made it to 9 days without washing. I'm confident I can stretch it to 14/15 days between washes. My favorite updo is an Edwardian style where I gather my hair at the top of my head, press down to create volume, then twist my hair into a bun and fasten it with pins. Perfect for when my hair is dirty. *2)* Do oil treatments the night before I wash my hair *3)* Use my boar bristle brush to distribute the oils through my hair *4)* Continue taking the organic sulphur suggested in the video that I just started taking yesterday *5)* Continue to rarely use heat on my hair *6)* _Never_ wet detangle again! *7)* Ditch all my chemical hair products I also bought the conditioner from Calia suggested in the video because I thought there was no way I'd not have horrendous tangles (still waiting for it to arrive), but I don't even think I need it. Again, dumbfounded. Thank you _so_ much for this video! I've recently decided to transition from using anything with chemicals (makeup, hair care, lotions/perfumes/body wash, dental hygiene, etc.) and eating clean/whole foods to improve my health. This way of natural hair care is phenomenal and one transition out of many I'm ecstatic to implement in my life! ♥
I've been FAITHFUL with your whole routine...I am seeing results already, menopause stinks, but its a little less now (I do have your exact hair type) I'm staying for the vintage sewing! :)
I’m right there with you with the menopause. Sucks. Unfortunately I have scalp psoriasis so I need to wash my scalp when it starts to scream at me. I can prolong it with Ayurvedic shampoo and dye my gray with henna and indigo.
A diluted lemon water drink each day helps to reduce psoriasis symptoms… protect your teeth tho.. drink thru a straw and rinse (do not brush ) afterwards to avoid teeth damage…

@@user-wq1jr9jn6wMaybe try sweet almond oil on your scalp, and hair. Follow by brushing with a boar bristle brush to evenly spread the small amount oil throughout your hair. You dilute the acv with water, about 1:3 acv:water. You can also add a drop of rosemary oil, mint, or rose water.
I'm from India... Happy to see you all recognising good hair practices from us... My grandma says all time oil your scalp it will cool you body.... We traditionally do simply two things. Apply coconut oil everyday and braid. Hair wash once a week with soap nuts... That's it... Hibiscus, Amla, curry leaves, Fenugreek etc are added for hair problems..
Just a note for people who are super prone to itching/dandruff - it might be yeast-based, which is not bacteria, but fungus. And yeast feeds on most oils. MCT oil is safe for yeast issues. Apple cider vinegar / fermented products can also aid the yeast growth so using a substitute non-ferment product is advisable to try!
@@niellalien if you can get over the shock, there is a whole long hair forum in which women mix Monistat with water in an applicator bottle and treat their scalp with it before shampooing. They say it relieves itching, and encourages growth by clearing the scalp of buildup, which helps with growth. I have used it. It has helped with growth on my sides where my hair has gotten thinner
@@niellalien someone mentioned they used really diluted citric acid. Citric acid powder is relatively cheap. If you have pH strips adjusting a pH around 5 is good. The commenter mentioned starting 1 teaspoon per cup of water I believe. To see how it goes.
I have fine curly hair and sometimes I will get a spot on my head that is itchy then I get dandruff there. So I started putting tea tree oil and peppermint oil in a spray bottle with water and spraying my scalp. It feels amazing! The itching and dandruff also went away. Essential oils can work wonders!
People keep mentioning the hair growth during pregnancy but lots of women lose the hair after pregnancy. So I think the hair routine is still important because it combats whatever changes happen after pregnancy
Progesterone, estrogen, prolactin hormones are all elevated during pregnancy, then typically plummet after childbirth, which causes postpartum hair loss.
I’m totally hooked! I would love to see videos on historical skin care, home care, routines :) I’m glad I found you! Excited to spend time watching the shoe making and sewing videos
YAY!! Thank you so much for this video!! Your first video helped me realize I was destroying my hair by styling it wet. I’ve stopped that and have way less loss and breakage 🙌🏽 I’m a straight haired gal allergic to shampoo and have been “no-poo” for years out of desperation 😅 clay was just too heavy for me, but raw egg yolks rinsed and foamed up with plain yogurt and essential oils are my go to “shampoo” now. For my straight, fine hair this gives bounce, shine and cleanses well
I'm also curious. I'd used an egg beaten as my cleanser, and ACV as a rinse (probably too much ACV in the water, actually), and I could imagine this could be helpful. The last year plus I have been doing without an actual wash except for rinsing, but I definitely need to be using things to improve the strength of my hair (and people claim that egg does that).
@@anonymos5726 Yes, I’m happy to share! I mix the egg yolks only (two for short fine hair) with about 1/4-1/2 cup plain organic yogurt. I use a tall cup and tiny electric whisk to quickly blend it all up and I add about half a cup of tepid water and a few drops of lavender and or tea tree essential oil. I soak my hair with lukewarm water squeeze out the excess, then pour half the mixture over scrubbing my roots like with regular shampoo. Then rinse that and wash once more. Finish with light ACV rinse and that’s it 👍🏽
Was looking forward to the fine hair discussion. I stopped dying and cutting my hair in 2019. (It was perfect timing, as keeping a short, white hair style during 2020-2021 would have been impossible.) I have very straight, thick and very fine hair. It's now halfway down my back. I wash no more than once a week, although sometimes in the summer I need to wash it twice a week, after working long hours in the hot garden. I make a soap with high amount of unsaponified oils, which I use for all body and hair. Ialso make flower vinegars as a rinse, like lilac, rose, peonie. Ido use ACV, too. I love brushing my hair; I took up the "100 strokes a day" habit of the women that came before us. that practice keeps it cleaner, shinier, detangled. Fifty stokes in the morning, 50 before bed. And I wear my hair "up" all day, and in bed. Just for the record, the jojoba may work really well for you because it is technically a liquid wax. I'm going to try the shea butter. However, I make a lovely 'healing' salve, and sometimes after applying to my hands, I'll apply the residue to my hair VERY lightlyo
I've never seen someone whos hair type is So similar to mine! We qlready try to use as natural haircare as possible and so the rassouhl clay was in our cupboard waiting to be used, so I tried it out straight away and... wow. I love it! My hair was much more curly all the way to the roots and the oil in my hair didn't start adding up to quickly, so after one week (which is when I usually wash it) it still feels good! It also felt SO soft after washing it with the clay! So soft that I didn't use any conditioner and it felt amazing! I'm SO excited I found your channel and hairtyps. THANK YOU 💕💕💕💕💕💕
When I watched your other video I thought your hair shouts I AM LOVED. What a powerful feeling! Beauty as a goal is a failed system, I love your example that beauty is a natural expression of CARE & LOVE!
I have straight hair and I’m here bc my hair has gotten so thin and I’m experiencing a lot of hair loss. When I was a kid and teenager, my hair was so thick that I would break hair ties just from putting it up in a ponytail. Now the thinnest pony tail holder is all I need to put my hair up and it doesn’t break. I’m so thankful for your videos and looking forward to devoting myself to these methods ❤ thank you Katherine
I recently began using non lathering products based on old "oil based" methods that women have used for centuries. I experienced a full 3 month detox period where my scalp/hair was expelling terrible toxins and plastics. I am only just now at the end of this and this detox showed me just how badly I've been treating my hair and scalp! That's why I'm sold on the old healthy ways and I'm learning some new ideas here! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. 👏
I feel like I have been wandering and blindly stumbling in a labyrinth and someone has finally shown me a way out. Thank you dear. I will now call you Galadriel, after the Vial of Galadriel, the light most needed when others go out.
I am in too ! I am half way there already , just missing pur on not using traditional modern shampoo and such ! . Wearing my hip length hair up all the time , wash it only every 2 -3 weeks and brush it only 3-4 times during that time . I have medium curly hair , but dry . My hair grows like weeds, and that at age 64.5 years old ! So, I am very excited to do this challenge ! And even more excited to see the difference. Just ordered the oil and clay , everything else I have . So happy I found your channel ! I have my own cooking channel, too . 😂 can't wait to begin ! But mostly , I have been doing the right historical thing for many years already, and many people gave me dirty looks . But I stut by myself , knowing I was doing it right ! So thank you ! 😊
@hanatlili9960 Thank you so much Hana. I have been thinking to cut just about a hand wide cause in my video about my hair , I noticed , it does not look good at the endings . Just waiting on the best "moon day" for cutting / trimming it . I hope you liked my channel too . Thank you for stopping by Hana
So I watched your last one and started detangling before the shower. The last time I showered I dentangled in the shower. I realized just how much frizz that was causing!! Insane.
I cannot believe my results after a month and a half on this routine.. I use rhassoul with hot water into a paste with a bit of acv and keep adding water till liquid like Katherine does. I then use a natrual conditioner bar on my ends and rinse and do a super diluted ACV rinse with peppermint rosemary and tea tree. I boar bristle brush every day use silk scrunchies and use a bit of dry rhassul clay on my roots when it's oily. I can get up to 2 weeks without washing this way.. I've had about 2 inches of growth in a month and a half on this routine. I buzzed my hair off a year ago so this amount of growth is so impressive to me and makes such a difference. Can't wait to see where I am in a year. Thank you SO MUCH you've changed my life.
I thought I would share the similarities and differences since I have the "finer, straighter, oilier" hair and scalp types you mention and there are some things that work for 4c hair that don't work for my 2a hair. My hair is roughly mid-thigh length. I use light oils as a leave in regularly. My hair is very tangle prone despite being relatively straight compared to yours so the ends need care. Jojoba is plenty light enough for me to use a few drops on the ends daily. I mist with an aloe vera mixture first to detangle actually. Mine has herbs like mashmallow and slippery elm and I need that to get the ends to stop acting like a spiderweb. There are many other people with fine hair who use heavier oils like coconut as a leave in while some use nothing at all or an aloe spray. I can't use those oils because my skin reacts badly to both, but I can even use relatively heavy options like sweet almond or olive oil without it being weighed down or stringy. I can't use a boar bristle brush at all. It tears my hair up and seems to do nothing but anger my scalp. I gave up and bought a Norse inspired double sided wooden comb and use that for the same purpose. It has a medium side for detangling and a fine side for moving the oils down. I finger detangle first to get the tangles out, then slowly use the medium side to get smaller tangles out, then use the fine side to massage my scalp and distribute leave ins, then I often do a few last passes with the medium side to get it ready to braid. I rarely oil the scalp. It doesn't hurt my scalp but it does make it look more oily. If I do oil the scalp it will be the day before a wash. I wash with shampoo and conditioner bars from a zero waste company 2-3 times a week. Often I braid the length and only wash the scalp with shampoo and water in a hair dye bottle. I trim my hair 2-4 times a year to get rid of unevenness. I do it myself because I don't trust stylists either.
I forgot. I don't use vinegar rinses because I hate the smell and I just couldn't be compliant. I use citric acid rinses which I mix myself. It can be bought as a preservative for canning so it's in grocery stores or amazon. Same exact function but slightly different acid.
I literally just googled boars hair brush and scalp inflammation a week ago. My scalp feels like it is on fire after using it. I went back to a comb as well. I bought the clay online, and was pleasantly surprised at how soft my hair felt
I have fine strands with type 4 hair. Using diluted shampoo or clay in a squeeze bottle is so helpful and easier application. People don't realize you aren't supposed to apply shampoo to your scalp full strength.
Very interesting, Tirya. My hair is similar to yours, and is hip-length. I'm just starting on my new hair care regimen courtesy of Katherine! I have a soft natural bristle brush (see my main comment re this) which is very gentle and feels divine to use!
Love your videos! So great! My only suggestion is that sulfur is not good if you’re Rh negative blood type. It is what causes the yellow orange color around the eye pupil and is considered toxic to this blood type. Just fyi. I had just learned about this. You’re video are so informative. Keep them coming!
I have been doing this for a week now since I watched your last video I had some bentonite clay in my bathroom cupboard and honestly yes my hair is soft manageable and my scalp feels great with the vinegar
ACV is a lifesaver for me. Sometimes my scalp gets so bad that becomes flaky, inflamed and itchy. One rinse of ACV gives me such a relief. I didn't know you could use clay to wash hair. Thank you for the information. Healthier alternatives to comercial products are always welcomed 😊
I am so glad I found your channel! I am a biracial woman who has fine curly hair but a lot of it! I am following your tips and my scalp is finally healed and my hair is so lush and shiny! You are a wealth of information, thank you so much!
I have been watching all your videos like crazy and have bought some things to start transitioning to no poo, I already did a few times weekly wash, since finding your page two weeks ago switched to once a week, combined with wrapping and protected styles have already made a difference. Thank you for all your time you take to share.
A fellow Canadian! I live in southern BC and work in the NWT and my long, coarse, chemically treated hair is taking a beating! I’ve watched both of these videos multiple times and am excited to get off the shampoo when I get home from camp! Thank you so much for all the wonderful info☺️✌️
I dye my hair and I have been doing no poo for over 15 yrs, and I’ve been rinsing with ACV once every few weeks since then. It’s perfectly safe on my color treated hair.
Thank you so much!! I haven’t even finished watching this yet but I’m so excited! I have the same hair texture as you and have been so frustrated with my hair! I bought everything I need and can’t wait for it to get here so I can try your routine!❤️❤️
I tried it, my hair and scalp responded with softness and waves. I have grey hair, and used a small amount of olive oil with the water and clay. Rinsing well. Amazing❤️
Thank you!!!!!! I am Mexican & white with hip length hair slightly less curly than yours, and I've also found that kinky hair practices work way better for me than what other white curly hair girls on the internet are doing. Its really validating to see someone who looks like me who also uses more kinky hair care practices.
Hi. I've recently found your channel. I've ALWAYS wanted long, beautiful hair. But I'm now 52 years old. I also have psoriasis so my hair loss has gotten worse. I'm definitely going to try your methods especially the gentle handling. I'm excited to try this.
You were clearly pregnant and that is the best time to grow your hair. Nice to find you and your hair is gorgeous. Found your video to be very informative and I dig that. My hair is down to my calves. I'm going to try the Bentonite Clay. I already use it for tooth powder and love it. Will be hanging out for the historical sewing! Thanks!
Well, after pregnancy, that growth and retention often falls out 😢 Happened to me after each baby. Fortunately, after a few months, it returned to normal.
You are right, I was pregnant, but I had also been pregnant with another baby during the first several photos I shared, where I didn’t gain much length - which is why I believe the MSM helped me so much ❤
I love the videos that you made about long natural hair care. I have been using rice water shampoo and conditioner bars by Viori. When I first used them a few times my hair was much lighter and my hair went from straightish to wavy. I really want to try out the hair care tips and get my long hair longer. Thank you for sharing! Keep them coming! ❤
I have loose-wavy hair, and I've tried using a couple of eggs instead of shampoo, and it worked great for cleansing, but it caused the protein buildup similar to what you mentioned with the clay. I think the ACV will fix that issue, thank you for all the time and care you put into this video! Your hair is so healthy and gorgeous. Edit: I have also found that mixing a packet of gelatin with very warm water and a dash of vinegar and then letting it sit in a shower cap for around 20-30 mintues (or more) before I wash my hair makes it very soft and shiny and helps it to retain its natural shape.
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
@@user-wq1jr9jn6w i changed only some of my routine and by that i mean the part concerning the finger detangling , washing my hair in 4 plaits, using minimal water to wash and putting my hair in a bun all day and in a braid at night and sleeping on a satin pillow case. i still use shampoo, i dilute my gentle shampoo in water, put it on my scalp and use a scalp massager to help clean my hair. so i took what works for my hair from the video and i ditched what doesn.t work for me; the clay wash caused so much buildup so i don't like it and honestly there's nothing wrong with natural and mild shampoos as long as you don't use it on your hair length
@@user-wq1jr9jn6w What we eat has alot to do with health of hair an skin. Much odors also come from eating meat, processed foods an junk as our bodies push toxins out. Many years ago I hit some hard times an wasn't able to shower as often as I would have liked to. During this time I learned a lot due to my experiences an curiosity as to what was causing it. I didn't have body odor issues that others were dealing with that's when I learned eating healthy does wonders in so many ways. Also during this time I was only able to wash my hair once a week sometimes only once a month. My hair grew a foot past what I was told was may length limit. That my hair would never grow past my shoulders 🙄 This is when I learned they lie about much simply to sell products. Washing hair daily dries it out an strips it of natural oils. Wash less often. Use natural stuff from nature an take note how your hair reacts. Yucca was used by natives as various herbal waters. Many cultures used various oils. It doesn't have to be complicated by any means. Olive oil an avacado oil work as well though a little goes a long ways. They are antibacterial, antimicrobial an antifungal meaning they attack an prohibit those small microorganisms. Can be used as antibacterial soap, leave in hair conditioner, body lotion, and more. Those oils have vit E an zinc an other nutrients your skin an hair will soak up. Lemons are also great for beauty care cleansing, disinfects an has a component that eats puss causing bacteria. Drinking lemon water an lime water regularly will help Overall health skin an hair as well. Rose oil an Rose water are also antibacterial antimicrobial an antifungal. Many herbs are. These natural foods an herbs have different vitamins, minerals, an Natural MeDiCiNes. Research what's in them an how your hair an body reacts find what works for you an what smells you prefer. Lemongrass water is a very nice clean smell as well. There are so many possibilities just consider how many different scents of flowers an herbs there are . How many different perfumes are sold...not everyone enjoys the exact same scents there is a wide variety out there to make your own hair tonic water for rinsing or spray to refresh between washes that are antibacterial antimicrobial an antifungal helping keep clean. Your hair will adapt as it doesn't have to fight being stripped of oils constantly but it takes time an depending on what you are using oil wise an how much it how little effects as well. Remember with natural oils a little goes a LONG way else looks more oily. The natural oils help control sebum as well. Experiment see what works an what you like. Wash less often an when you can't stand how oily it is wash it just try to go longer between each time. Try to use a gentle shampoo with natural ingredients when you do. Wash less often. Braid at night at least. Don't get trims unless absolutely needed an do yourself if you can. Eat healthier beauty begins inside our bodies. Use natural oils in nature sparingly as your hair needs. An herbal waters you can make yourself. I hope you enjoy your journey. When I quit washing daily years ago I went from shoulder length hair to almost waist length after years of being told my hair was genetically only going to grow to that length. I no longer listen to the garbage the insist upon I use mostly natural products for most everything an absolutely love the results it's had in my life an in my health.
Can people w experience using RICE WATER comment on what it does for your hair please? Is this historically a beauty topical originating in Asian countries ? I learned about it from a Brazilian woman ….(who taught me how to properly “sugar” (instead of wax))
The wet detangling isn't necessarily a commercial thing 😊. One of my curly haired aunts living in a rural area in Morocco since birth, always did that (no tv no commercials no magazines..) . She used the rassul clay and cactus gel as shampoo and brushed her hair when wet only, before applying oil or vaseline to her hair 😊 and her hair was and still is gorgeous even now 😊 Even my grandma brushed her hair wet (very vigorously!), and she's still got a gorgeous head of silver hair 😍 That was the traditional way of hair care, lots of brushing the hair while washing, oils after, masks before wash, and protective hair styles 😁
I want to add hair wrapping to the mix. I started wearing a tichel style wrap this year, and the difference in my hair is astonishing. The under cap and the scarf absorb some of the excess oil and there's minimal breakage and sun damage. Since my hair is mostly covered , nobody sees the oil and I end up naturally not washing as often. Head coverings are part of the toolkit, and they're so comfortable.
Thanks again for this much needed video! I already practice much of what you suggest already...being African American... I'm still learning much from your videos 👍🏾💯
Clay is very high in ph this opens the haircuticle that is the roughness you feel if you forget the ACV rinse. Hairs pH needs to be around 4.5 to fully close the haircuticle that is what the ACV rinse does bring it back to a low enough pH for the cuticles to close. Good modern shampoos do the same and have a low pH of their own (barely any of the current sold shampoo's are low enough in ph though that is why so many people are suffering)
I wanted to add that if you're overwhelmed by completely jumping into this new routine, I've been using hairstory for the last year or two and only washing about once a week. It's a bit pricey, but would be a really simple place to start. (I started bc even though I only had a pixie, my hair was more greasy than ever before!!) I've already started adopting some of these new tips since last week and my hair feels SOOO soft. I have wavy hair, fairly straight and the top gets greasy and today's the first time ive considered washing my hair again. I'll use the rest of my hair story, then ill move over the to the clay. Thank you so much! Also thank you for the discount code, I have been looking at these boots recently!!
@@eeaotly It’s call New Wash by the company Hair Story it’s a detergent free way of cleansing. I never tried. The ingredients look good but I’m cheap af and I use Ayurvedic herbs to wash my hair. There are recipes on CZcams and online. I was always curious about New Wash though. I want to try to make something similar. If I can.
If you do the New Wash by Hairstory, do you know if you can still do oil treatments? Also, do you need to do apple vinegar or anything else? Basically, does the new wash cut down on steps for natural hair care?
@@laurenbrooks3091 hey! Im still using hairstory. basically i only use it once or twice a week like before, but the big thing I started is not getting my hair wet at all unless i want to use my silicone scrubber for dandruff control. I still use oil in my ends but I havent come up with a schedule for it. maybe once a week, usually after washing. I tried the apple cider vinegar once and it felt really nice, super diluted with a few drops of peppermint! really brings your circulation up. all of those things are pretty cheap. you can buy a bottle of jojoba oil for maybe $10 or less at a health food store and put some lavender or peppermint essential oil in it (or nothing) and apple cider vinegar is only a few bucks for a bottle i think and you dont need a lot to cleanse your hair, mostly water. I just got back from vacation so i dont have a set routine with these new things. theyre just fun to try out and maybe incorporate into your schedule one day! For example i might incorporate the vinegar more once i transition to the clay but for now i still have hairstory, its just too pricey for me.
Hi Katherine! I have finally tried the clay wash and vinegar rinse and O-M-Geeee! Why have I not tried this earlier?!? I used bentonite clay bc its what I had on hand and I have an oily scalp, and I added some essential oils (cypress, eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint) my scalp feels AMAZING. I cannot believe how GOOD my scalp feels now. I have thin, bone straight, hair and this wash has given me BODY??? What?!? I actually have body and bounce to my hair, the smell is incredible too. Thank you so much again for posting this helpful video. ❤❤❤
I’ve got 4C and I’ve started my hair growth challenge today. I created my hair oil using castor, coconut and olive oil. I added spearmint, lavender, rosemary, fenugreek, and msm. I also purchased the clay and will use it as an overnight hair mask once a week. I’m taking 2 supplements as well; boron, and total liver d-tox.
I second @oscitant otter. You shouldn't use a clay mask overnight. I have 4b-c hair and leave clay washes/treatments on my hair for 10-30 minutes depending on the purpose of that mix. Green Beauty has great tutorials about clay washes/treatments.
Good for you👌🏼💯👏🏼💕 I'm so glad to hear that. I have a gf with 4c and she just straight up doesn't love her hair 😞 and it shows... i always try to encourage her but when im not around she kinda regresses into not doing so well... Yet I have a 4c hairstylist cousin that totally loves her hair and takes care of it and it shows and grows (btw she doesn't chemically treat her hair, she only does safe color, that's it)! Don't believe the hype on in terms of time care and love your hair may need a little bit more but it's not AS different in terms of general natural hair care (as your 3c friends here 🙋🏽♀️). Keep trying, keep learning, do what works for you, & never give up!
Hey, I have straight hair with an oily scalp. And honestly the thing that's helped with the oily lankiness the most is scalp massage. I have to massage my scalp thoroughly twice a day before brushing. And it will bring more life and volume to my hair, and loosen any dandruff or oil building up on my scalp. If I stop massaging my hair for a while it'll very quickly get lanky and sad looking, even if I'm still doing all the other good things. And I'll feel like I need to wash my hair more often cause my scalp will get itchy and really weighed down
Funny enough, my daughter used to have super fine hair as a child super weighed down, and I used coconut oil treatments on her scalp and hair for 1 year every weekend, it made her hair look like magic! Longer and shiny and thicker and healthy! I also have curly but super fine hair and I use coconut oil once a month, it works wonders for me too
The fact that you can say “boar bristle brush” so many times in a row is amazing!😁 I am trying out this routine and excited to see the results. Researching MSM is my next step. Thank you for this content!
I don't wash my hair with clay but I'm not against it and I'm here to learn something. I use just water, oils and occasionally but rarely a cleansing conditioner.
Thank you so much! I have thick curly hair as well. The struggle is real! I just had 4 inches cut off to try to hit healthy hair, and I still have frizz!! I'm so excited about starting this routine.
I love these videos since we have similar hair! I would also LOVE if you would post a video of how you take care of your skin since it's just so beautiful. 😍
I think it's important to remember that scalp care is also skincare, a little different but just as important for your wellbeing. also if you're looking for a bristle brush/wooden comb I suggest looking at beard brushes/combs. they seem to be accessible, affordable and the exact thing you might be looking for.
When you say "add oil to my ends" how much of your hair do you consider your "ends?" Also I've been using the shea butter on my hair and my skin. Ty for the tip! My eye wrinkles are almost gone! My skin feels great! I put it on my arms and the crepeness is gone. Amazing
Thank you so much for sharing this content. I discovered your channel when you posted your first hair video. That sent me down a rabbit hole of Ayurvedic hair care and the discovery of other channels sharing similar information. I made a big purchase on Amazon to begin my natural hair journey. I had never stopped to consider that the shampoos, conditioners, and curling creams were to blame for my limp hair. I have 3b curls and my roots would look very nourished, while the rest of my hair was limp and stringy. Even when my hair would grow, the healthy texture and pattern would only be present for the first few inches of growth, and the rest would turn limp. I thought that it was because I had dyed it (which was a contributing factor) but I think a bigger contributor were the products that I was using. Thanks to you I now wash my hair with soap nuts and clay followed by a hibiscus tea rinse. I have been much more creative and intentional with using protective styles (which I get loads of compliments on). I use oils and powdered herbs for an overnight deep conditioner once a week. I dye my hair with henna and indigo. I finger detangle and oil my hair at night. I make my own curling cream using shea butter and jojoba for when I do decide to wear my hair down. I tried flax gel and my hair did not respond well. All this to say, my hair is LOVING this new routine! My curls are gaining bounce, shape, and healing from past damage. My curl pattern is returning. I have less shedding than before. My hair has grown about 1.5 inches since I started at the end of November ‘22. I’m sooo impressed and in awe with all this beautiful progress in such a short time frame. Why were these practices given up in the last hundred years when they’ve been working for centuries?!? Thanks for sharing this content and inspiring me to start this journey.
Your hair is gorgeous. If mine looked like that, I’d have to put it up, just to avoid touching it all day. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate it. I’m hoping this brings me to healthier, longer, thicker hair.
I was so excited to see your video on your hair! I also have curly hair and you addressed so many problems that all women face!! Thanks so much & your hair is lovely!! Vicki
I am in my mid-30s and have wavy hair that is currently shoulder length. I wore it as a pixie cut for a decade, but now I want to grow it really long for the first time ever. I find this current shoulder length unflattering and awkward so I hope it grows fast. 😂 I've already started implementing some of your tips. I'm excited to continue this hair journey.
Did you have had a baby (or two) in the last few years? The pregnancy hormones also make our hair grow very fast, thick and healthy.(from my experience of 3x) I always experienced better, stronger hair growth during and right after pregnancies. I do see how this routine would help protect and keep the growth, and I'm about to embark on this journey, Thank you for your suggestions! I'm just curious if hormones were also a part of helping it grow so long
From the age of her children, I believe she wasn't experiencing (much) growth during some of her pregnancies, and the MSM may be slightly before, or during, or after her last baby (if my sense of things is correct). Man, I hope my hair grows when I'm pregnant... but I won't count on it because everyone's hormones and health are different. I'm also sorta counting on getting some change in texture like my mother did, because having the ability to more easily have volume would be fun (my hair is very flat and straight).
@@NoraRoisin mine is also very flat and straight, it did grow atleast 5-8 inches during and post baby, but no real texture changes. The prenatal vitamins probably contribute, too.
@@GenXtothe7thPower Ah, yes, given that a lot of women use those, I wonder how much that can affect things. Encouraging, too, because a lot of those things are vitamins and minerals I will want to work on getting now, even though I'm not pregnant. :D
I have fine classic length hair and all I've done is cut split ends, never cut length, finger detangle, and use bar shampoo but this is really gonna help maintain it and maybe reach mid thigh I guess (bc cutting still feels weird), thanks for doing all the work for me and compiling it lol

I wonder if historically they had access to all these seed oils. Have you considered purified tallow, lanolin, or other animal fat? I use this on my face and hair instead of seed oils that can make your skin more light sensitive. These can be found on Etsy! :)
@@s__erv trade routes in the past are more extensive than we realize, it's really a matter of what you can afford. On the other hand animals fats would be readily available and are great alternatives.

I apologize
@@kellysiq206Will do! My next video in a couple weeks will be all about that oil,blend and how to make it ❤
Weirdly, in my area, all the great classical haircare products are now advertised towards men, such as "beard brushes" (good boar brushes that will 100% work for my hair) and "beard oils" that basically contain all the good oils you listed, as well as "natural rugged beard shampoo " which actually contains the clay and stuff you mentioned, so I guess my straight dark blonde hair is from now on identifying as a beard. I am a woman growing a long beard on my head.

Represent! 🤣 I've seen this too and have been wondering if I should just use men's advertised products.
@@on.the.dock. for real, but I don't really want to smell like a man - my husband might run from me!
That's. Amazing
LOL!
I’m Hispanic and grandma is very old fashioned and hates anything bought in a store 😂. Anyway…….. I grew up washing my hair with a mixture of egg baking soda and real aloe from the garden. She used to make a rose water to rinse it. I stopped 16 years ago because my husband thought it was weird. I started 2 years ago because I have been suffering from dandruff for years and nothing helped. I lived in humid hot climate and I used to wash my hair every Saturday and it was never stinky. 🤷🏻♀️ and yes it was very long because I never cut it in that time (religious reasons)
Do you have a recipe for the shampoo?
How do you wash the egg out without it leaving a mess? When ive used egg as part of a conditioning routine there was always some left over that would need store bought shampoo to get out. Do you mix the egg and baking soda or do you use the egg as conditioner and then shampoo it with baking soda?
@@honeysweetbunbun Just use the egg yolk. You can mix it with rum
@@RoSario-vb8ge Rum could dry hair out. So may want to be careful with it.
@@honeysweetbunbun you have to make sure the water you are using to rinse with isn't very hot, or else it will actually cook the egg into your hair 😶. Lukewarm at most, and you won't have any problems.

I am often the one who makes these time stamped lists! I know she has hers too, but the summary such as you’ve made here is what I find most helpful.
@@louisegogel7973 You're welcome!! 💕 Yes, I agree!
Seriously. I love you. Not being funny. But seriously thank you so much
@@akashanumberfive199 You're welcome!! ☺️💕
Thank you very much!!
I’m so glad I came across this video! I am a woman of color with fine curly hair and until now, suffered from severe eczema. It has been 3 weeks that I’ve followed this routine and my scalp is calm for the first time since my mom doing my hair as a young girl. She used my great grandmother’s very Native American routine. I had forgotten the old ways, trying everything out there for curly hair only to have to still use a lot of hairspray or just flat iron it every day. It’s already growing out of the cut and no more shedding. Thank you for getting us back to basics!
*For anyone with dandruff who's afraid of using scalp oils, look into using MCT oil as part of the routine shared in the video.* I have seborrheic dermatitis (kind of a worse version of dandruff), and have to keep the yeast that causes it (by feeding on my natural oils) in check. This type of yeast loves specific types of oils, but MCT oil is one kind it can't feed on, therefore, using it starves the yeast. Using this oil has been a life-changer for me. Some experts believe dandruff may be caused by the same over-active yeast that causes seborrheic dermatitis so you might find relief too.
Hi there, do you take the MCT oil or you apply it to your hair? Thanks in advance!
Hi Glass Peony, thank you so much for this!!! I have sebbhoric dermatitis all along my scalp, maybe even my face??? and my hair is thinning, sadly. (I think it is stress, my hormones, my weight gain, my diet). So you have found instead of jojoba like Katherine recommends, MCT is a better option?
This is great information because I love to use MCT oil and take it internally too! ❤
@@morphidae you should do both for best results!
Grapefruit seed oil/extract has been very helpful to me, working it gently onto my scalp. It's highly effective at killing yeasts etc. I used it more before and don't seem to need it as much now. I would use half a dozen drops mixed into alovera gel as the carrier, mixed well in the palm of my hand and rub it into my scalp once my hair was wet, leaving it in for a few minutes. I used to gently put it on my face too as I was prone to red scaly patches at times (oil cleansing works too and I used coconut oil for that - also anti yeast ish). It's a nice alternative too, for when one doesn't want to oil their hair and scalp for a full treatment. I can just get it wet and treat my scalp without much work, and not have suuuper oily hair to deal with re washing. At those times, a quick water only wash suffices. I'm learning now from these videos some new things to try. I've been off shampoo for years now but have never heard of clay washes etc til now.
Tried ghassoul clay this morning for the first time with unbelievable results. My high porosity protein sensitive wavy curly straight going white, old man hair loved it. I did not need conditioner just dressed with a minuscule amount of jojoba and aloe Vera after. Cold rinsing the watery clay out after letting it sit a few minutes and massaging in a war, shower. Incredible. I’ve started black castor oil with rosemary, mint and clove at night with massage. The journey begins. I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else again. I’m so very happy. Thank you for sharing.

If you have thin, finer hair especially curly hair, sweet almond oil is a great alternative. Jojoba is pretty light along with argon oil as well. But sweet almond oil is just a bit lighter.
Jojoba is a great choice though. You just don’t need as much as she put in and you’ll use it less! Your hair will tell you what you need 😁
⬆️👆Thanks for watching👆⬆️Text me to receive prizes🎁Congratulations🤝 🎁👆🎉....
I have very fine, long hair. I use a sweet almond oil/argan/jojoba mixture (amounts totally dependent on what I have in the house). I mix it together in a small bottle and drop a few cloves in. I used to leave it in all night but now have a heated bonnet that I wear for an hour before I wash my hair to give a 'hot oil treatment'.
grapeseed oil is very good
Is your hair thicker now? Which bonnet do you have?@@suekennedy883
I love this. Just starting on my long hair journey and I'm 61. Haven't had it cut or trimmed for 8 months. Was at a loss for encouragement in this journey and so glad to find your channel!!

I'm 67 and have colored my hair for years. It's a mousey brown underneath, but am hoping the better diet and this hair care will help. We'll see! Best of luck on your journey!

Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
Try adding essential oil to help the smell
Ive been using rhassoul clay for washing, and apple cider vinegar for rinsing, plus oiling since last dec.....
My hair is in much better condition, feels softer & less like straw! Cant imagine using shampoo & conditioner again.....
So grateful l came across your fabulous videos Katherine ❤
Doesn´t the clay dries the hair?
I just need a confirmation. Did I understand correctly? Katherine uses the apple cider rInse AFTER her conditioner. Right? I wonder why?
I was losing my hair in 2015, and totally switched to baking soda. You could see my shiny scalp! And thinning hair runs on my mothers side of the family. Baking soda is amazing! Make sure to dilute it (about 1/4 cup baking soda to about a liter of water and just pour it on, as you rub it in, and rinse! I always do a final rinse in cold water. What a difference! You don’t get the bubbles or foam action, but necessity is mother of invention. I need to condition more, and my hair isn’t as GORGEOUS as yours, but it stopped falling out in clumps. It’s funny, when people ask ‘what did you do?’ And you tell them, but they give excuses as to why they could never do THAT!
Thank you! Your hair is gorgeous!🙏🏻💕

There are actually new reports on dry shampoo causing cancer, so I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate your breakdown on boar bristle Brushes! Thank you for giving such an immensely helpful breakdown of your wonderful hair care! I watched all the way to the end regardless of the length of the video. It was amazingly helpful ❤
And hairs dyes, relaxers.
A bit of starch on the roots with a make up brush, let it sit and then brush it out with boar bristles is better than any dry shampoo
Thankyou so much for this information. Wonderful.
Also what do you use on your skin
because it's so beautiful.
@@dianemitchell5142Thank you! I am planning a video for the near future on skin care - natural and minimalist as well 😊
@@KatherineSewing Look up terminal hair length, it varies by race.
What would be really helpful would be if you created a calendar say over a normal week (perhaps with different treatments depending on season) showing what you do everyday. You do so many things that it feels a bit overwhelming and confusing but seeing it black on white would help. Thank you! Super interesting video and happy new year!
yes this would be so helpful!
Great idea!
Good idea..would definitely clarify the situation...
Can you please add these hair videos to a historical hair care playlist? That way they're easier to find when I want to re-watch them
Starter For Me:
-Dry Detangle
-Jojoba Oil Ends After Shower

Also just an extra thing if you boil and then strain about half a cup of golden flax seed in 1 1/2 to 2 cups water it makes a watery slimey solution that's great in a spray bottle to be used as organic food grade flexible hairspray or you can add less water for a firm hold hair gel. The gel/spray is super good for hair health, and the seeds are very good for diet and general health and great to add to stews, breads, soups etc 😁
Love this. Thank you 😊
It can also be applied as a gel on curly hair 🙂
On a total aside: Brushing your hair is also a soothing process. I'm more than happy to introduce it to my nighttime routine as part of winding down my day, and essentially "self soothing". :)

And it's even more soothing of you can find someone to brush it for you! Sadly, husband hates brushing my hair. 😭
Your last hair video was a HUGE inspiration. The CG method did not help my hair grow and did not look good. This has been a huge help and especially all those oils and braids. I already see a huge difference.

I have long thick red wavy hair that has always been very dry. I tried your method using bentonite clay and then rinsing with a dilute apple cider vinegar and then a further water rinse. I have used shampoo and conditioners for about 40 years and after the clay apple cider wash my hair has never been so soft, light in weight and free of frizz. I love this method and will use it every time I wash my hair which is 1 x week. I highly recommend everyone try it! I thank you so much for getting me out of the shampoo/conditioner rut, which coated my hair with all sorts of horrible build up and just puts more pollutants into the environment. I tried to remember when it was I ever started using conditioner and it was in the 1980s in South Africa when hair salons started selling it and then it kind of took over and began being sold in supermarkets and became a trend where few questioned the need for it. Most brands are so filled with silicon it is just a gunky coating! I mainly used it for detangling and with the clay method I didn't need anything to easily comb out my hair.
for people with colored hair: ive tried this on my hair, and im currently transitioning to exclusive clay washes. Permanent hair color (the ones you get in box dye, anything using a developer) was not affected very much by the clay wash, semi permanent dye i have yet to try but i would assume it would likely take it out of your hair quicker than a color-safe shampoo. Vinegar can affect some toners and hair colors because of the PH spike but in my experience using red box dye and temporary hair colors, it hasn't faded or affected the color at all. Do this at your own risk, if you go to a salon to get your hair done especially be careful with both of these, the process of coloring hair in a salon is much more of a chemical science than commercially available hair colors.
UPDATE: IT WORKS WONDERS
in the last 6 or 7 washes on my hair my routine has been all-natural products and i have finally perfected it. The clay and ACV wash does NOT alter temporary hair color (dyed my hair fuchsia pink; it's still very much pink) and has made this "temporary" color last extremely long; longer than it ever has on my hair previously.
Currently i put the clay in my hair, ruse it out and scrunch with warm water to open the cuticle and release oils, then rinse with my ACV and rinse that out with cold water. For curly hair i use a sea-salt and ACV spray on my hair and then rake through Aloe Vera gel before scrunching, and every other wash/style i'll add in a shea moisture leave-in hair mask beforehand. i also add shea moistyre conditioner before my ACV rinse on every other wash; my color has deepened a bit more to red than the fuchsia pink i had before, but this routine WORKS
It has also decreased my wash times massively; i only have to wash my hair maybe once every 2 weeks, but i am using kaolin clay, at a ratio of 1 tsp dry to about 16oz. of water, which lasts me about 2 washes; i also shake in some rosemary and clove oil, for hair growth and also because they smell good
I just bought some rhassoul clay, I haven't used it yet. I have waist length salon color treated hair (dyed red) and I am a little scared about this stripping my color. I have used store bought semi-permanent red dye as well. Do you think it will be okay using this on my color done at the salon?
@@melinalack6224 i now have an entire routine, all natural using clay to wash my hair and my semi-permanent red-pink hair color has NOT faded at ALL! So i'd say this (i also rinse my hair with cold water 90% of the time) has been very good for my color treated hair!
@@melinalack6224 i'd say: keep the clay on your roots and keep the water cold (at least the water on your hair) and you should be good to go! This dye used to fade much quicker than it has in the last month i've had it using regular sulfate shampoo; right now it's about as vibrant as the day i dyed it, save for being a little deeper likely due to oxidation. If i was using regular shampoo i'd be back to reddish-blonde by now, but it's still very vibrant pink with the clay
Note that you can dissolve citric acid powder (found in the canning aisle of the grocery store) in water for a scentless vinegar rinse replacement 😀Repeating Katherine's words, go easy on the acid! Maybe try 1/4 tsp to 1cup of water and adjust from there 😀
Your grocery store has a canning isle? Omg need
Yay what a great tip! I have been trying lemons and other acidic fruits
@@Debble Well, an aisle with a canning section 🤣
@@squrgle Glad I could help! 😀
I would love some additional tips on the rinse process. I tried the wash for the first time using recommended clay consistency and found that even three very thorough (I thought) rinses with the vinegar did not get all the clay out. Really wanting this method to work for me so hoping others can suggest when I'm doing wrong for when I try again in round two.
I mix my clay washes with ACV and aloe vera juice so it’s all in one step. I have type 3c/4a natural curls/coils and I appreciate your videos. Your hair is beautiful! ❤
Have you tried the water only method to bring down all the sebum from your scalp?
How do you brush, wet or dry? Do you use a wooden brush or boar? :)
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
I was wondering if one could do that! I'd love to combine it all because I love to put as little work in as I can. ^.^
@@user-wq1jr9jn6w Hi! I use essential oils to mask the scent. ❤
Working my way to healthier hair at 52. I have fine slightly wavy hair. I used to box color it every 2 months and used Sauve shampoo and conditioner 3-4 times a week. I quit coloring my hair 3 months ago and switched to Hair Food brand products and now wash once a week. I no longer use a hair straightener or blow dryer. I use a drop of jojoba oil on my ends. I wish my clumsy fingers could learn how to braid. Oh, well! Good luck and blessings to all on their healthy hair journeys.😊
Where were you in 2020?
You are such a blessing for me....
As a curly hair girl I always had to listen bad things about my hair... My one and only thinking as a kid was to do permanent straightening... And i did that!!
I would never do rebonding and damage my hair if I knew that curls can be this much gorgeous..
I am trying my best to follow your routine now(I am not getting everything here in my country that you are suggesting) though I don't have rhassoul clay but I am using bentonite...and I never ever had this much gorgeous curl before trust me... If i knew that my hair can be this manageable & shiny i would never damage my hair....I had to cut my hair short to get rid of those damaged ends...now i don't even have half of my hair.. But I believe If i keep following your routine my hair will get better soon!!!
Keep sharing with us!!❤️
'Sneha' comes from a root meaning a sticky, glistening thing. In most Indo-European languages, this means oil, but it's also the root of the English word 'snow'. 😀

Having different textures on one head is extremely common among African American hair, I have 4. I'm very surprised to hear that you have the same thing! Love your hair videos, they are so soothing. 🙂
Just about as pale as pale can be here, and my hair has 4 textures too! It's amazing what we can find out our hair when we start letting it do it's own thing. I was one of those people who thought my hair was "straight, but super dry, frizzy, and poofy" until I was nearly 30.😅
@@chelsead6054 It's amazing how much we don't know about ourselves. 😂
@@devorahstree671 True, it's not applicable to only hair. 🙂 Humans are just as weirdly complex as we are simple. Honestly though, hair is a great allegory for both our intricacies and baseness, historically and otherwise. Oh, what a tangent!
@@chelsead6054 So TRUE!
I’m Mexican, my hair is curly on the top half almost like hers and almost straight on the bottom, is almost like it couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. My mom’s is curly and I always wanted to have her hair.
I'm so excited to have found your content!! I'm 57 and recently stopped coloring my hair and cut all my color treated hair off. I'm in the process of growing out a super short pixie cut. While I like it, I crave long hair - even at my age. I have a slight wave to my fine hair. I have been told I have a lot of hair, it's just fine. I will be transitioning to no POO immediately. Thank you for all your knowledge and pointers!!!
Mine too! My hair is nearly waist length I stay away from ppl with scissors! The hardest part for us is keeping it from breaking off because each hair is so delicate. I am 52.
My hair is naturally super oily ( I also have super pin straight hair so probably plays a factor) and never knew why. I would wash and wash which was causing more oil. This is really helping, I recently got that boar brush it’ll be coming in soon. I love brushing my hair, it’s really relaxing, it’s my happy time. Being able to do the 100 finally with the boar is going to be so nice!
I really appreciate the time lapse photos that shows your hair growth journey. Other videos makers NEVER give the amount of time it takes to notice change.
Okay, so I tried this routine for the first time last night. The only thing I did apart from the video was use distilled water to wash my hair and, oh, the difference all these things made! After letting the microfiber towel soak up water from my hair, I could immediately tell my hair felt lighter and there were hardly any tangles! I was dumbfounded because I've _always_ struggled with horrible tangles even if I used conditioner and a detangling spray (I have very curly hair). Literally floored.
I let it air dry then gently used my fingers and a wide tooth comb to rid whatever minimal tangles were there. Then I sealed my ends with what oil I had (still waiting for my Jojoba oil to arrive). I braided it before going to bed (still waiting on my satin night cap). *I also didn't thoroughly rinse out the apple cider vinegar. I did pour some water over my hair to rinse it a little, but I didn't vigorously rinse it out.
This morning, my hair is _so_ soft and feels amazing!
Another thing I've always struggled with was frizz and I have _none_ this morning! There's *_no way_* I'm going back to shampoos and other chemical hair products!
*I do **_highly_** recommend using distilled water for washing your hair.* I have very hard water where I live and I just found out that hard water can damage your hair and also cause hair loss. Part of my goal is to grow more voluptuous hair & I believe switching to distilled water is an important factor to prevent hair loss and tangles. I used a gallon of distilled water and don't regret it. I know some may not can or want to pay for distilled water each time you wash your hair but you can also make it at home for free. I choose to buy it because I'm so busy and it cuts down on time for me.
My plan going forward during transition is:
*1)* Wash my hair twice a month and gradually get to once a month. I was already going a week between washes and, this time around, I made it to 9 days without washing. I'm confident I can stretch it to 14/15 days between washes. My favorite updo is an Edwardian style where I gather my hair at the top of my head, press down to create volume, then twist my hair into a bun and fasten it with pins. Perfect for when my hair is dirty.
*2)* Do oil treatments the night before I wash my hair
*3)* Use my boar bristle brush to distribute the oils through my hair
*4)* Continue taking the organic sulphur suggested in the video that I just started taking yesterday
*5)* Continue to rarely use heat on my hair
*6)* _Never_ wet detangle again!
*7)* Ditch all my chemical hair products
I also bought the conditioner from Calia suggested in the video because I thought there was no way I'd not have horrendous tangles (still waiting for it to arrive), but I don't even think I need it. Again, dumbfounded. Thank you _so_ much for this video! I've recently decided to transition from using anything with chemicals (makeup, hair care, lotions/perfumes/body wash, dental hygiene, etc.) and eating clean/whole foods to improve my health. This way of natural hair care is phenomenal and one transition out of many I'm ecstatic to implement in my life! ♥
I've been FAITHFUL with your whole routine...I am seeing results already, menopause stinks, but its a little less now (I do have your exact hair type) I'm staying for the vintage sewing! :)
I’m right there with you with the menopause. Sucks. Unfortunately I have scalp psoriasis so I need to wash my scalp when it starts to scream at me. I can prolong it with Ayurvedic shampoo and dye my gray with henna and indigo.
A diluted lemon water drink each day helps to reduce psoriasis symptoms… protect your teeth tho.. drink thru a straw and rinse (do not brush ) afterwards to avoid teeth damage…
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
@@user-wq1jr9jn6wMaybe try sweet almond oil on your scalp, and hair. Follow by brushing with a boar bristle brush to evenly spread the small amount oil throughout your hair. You dilute the acv with water, about 1:3 acv:water. You can also add a drop of rosemary oil, mint, or rose water.
I'm from India... Happy to see you all recognising good hair practices from us... My grandma says all time oil your scalp it will cool you body.... We traditionally do simply two things. Apply coconut oil everyday and braid. Hair wash once a week with soap nuts... That's it... Hibiscus, Amla, curry leaves, Fenugreek etc are added for hair problems..
Just a note for people who are super prone to itching/dandruff - it might be yeast-based, which is not bacteria, but fungus. And yeast feeds on most oils. MCT oil is safe for yeast issues. Apple cider vinegar / fermented products can also aid the yeast growth so using a substitute non-ferment product is advisable to try!
Interesting! Is there anything else you recommend? Maybe that's why my ACV mix isn't working for me!
@@niellalien if you can get over the shock, there is a whole long hair forum in which women mix Monistat with water in an applicator bottle and treat their scalp with it before shampooing. They say it relieves itching, and encourages growth by clearing the scalp of buildup, which helps with growth. I have used it. It has helped with growth on my sides where my hair has gotten thinner
@@niellalien someone mentioned they used really diluted citric acid. Citric acid powder is relatively cheap. If you have pH strips adjusting a pH around 5 is good. The commenter mentioned starting 1 teaspoon per cup of water I believe. To see how it goes.
Olive oil is safe for fungal scalp issues too!
@@WokelandDefector I agree, vinegar is used to kill fungal infections.
I have fine curly hair and sometimes I will get a spot on my head that is itchy then I get dandruff there. So I started putting tea tree oil and peppermint oil in a spray bottle with water and spraying my scalp. It feels amazing! The itching and dandruff also went away. Essential oils can work wonders!
People keep mentioning the hair growth during pregnancy but lots of women lose the hair after pregnancy. So I think the hair routine is still important because it combats whatever changes happen after pregnancy

Progesterone, estrogen, prolactin hormones are all elevated during pregnancy, then typically plummet after childbirth, which causes postpartum hair loss.
I’m totally hooked! I would love to see videos on historical skin care, home care, routines :) I’m glad I found you! Excited to spend time watching the shoe making and sewing videos
YAY!! Thank you so much for this video!! Your first video helped me realize I was destroying my hair by styling it wet. I’ve stopped that and have way less loss and breakage 🙌🏽
I’m a straight haired gal allergic to shampoo and have been “no-poo” for years out of desperation 😅 clay was just too heavy for me, but raw egg yolks rinsed and foamed up with plain yogurt and essential oils are my go to “shampoo” now. For my straight, fine hair this gives bounce, shine and cleanses well
Very interested. Could you please give us a little more detail how you use the egg yolk and yogurt? Do you mix the two? How do you rinse?
I'm also curious. I'd used an egg beaten as my cleanser, and ACV as a rinse (probably too much ACV in the water, actually), and I could imagine this could be helpful. The last year plus I have been doing without an actual wash except for rinsing, but I definitely need to be using things to improve the strength of my hair (and people claim that egg does that).
@@anonymos5726 Yes, I’m happy to share! I mix the egg yolks only (two for short fine hair) with about 1/4-1/2 cup plain organic yogurt. I use a tall cup and tiny electric whisk to quickly blend it all up and I add about half a cup of tepid water and a few drops of lavender and or tea tree essential oil. I soak my hair with lukewarm water squeeze out the excess, then pour half the mixture over scrubbing my roots like with regular shampoo. Then rinse that and wash once more. Finish with light ACV rinse and that’s it 👍🏽
@@jillianpeterson3398 thank you so much. God bless you and yours. I wrote it down next time I need to wash, definitely trying it.
Thank you as well. I’m going to try this instead of baking soda water.
Was looking forward to the fine hair discussion. I stopped dying and cutting my hair in 2019. (It was perfect timing, as keeping a short, white hair style during 2020-2021 would have been impossible.) I have very straight, thick and very fine hair. It's now halfway down my back.
I wash no more than once a week, although sometimes in the summer I need to wash it twice a week, after working long hours in the hot garden. I make a soap with high amount of unsaponified oils, which I use for all body and hair. Ialso make flower vinegars as a rinse, like lilac, rose, peonie. Ido use ACV, too.
I love brushing my hair; I took up the "100 strokes a day" habit of the women that came before us. that practice keeps it cleaner, shinier, detangled. Fifty stokes in the morning, 50 before bed. And I wear my hair "up" all day, and in bed.
Just for the record, the jojoba may work really well for you because it is technically a liquid wax.
I'm going to try the shea butter. However, I make a lovely 'healing' salve, and sometimes after applying to my hands, I'll apply the residue to my hair VERY lightlyo
I've never seen someone whos hair type is So similar to mine! We qlready try to use as natural haircare as possible and so the rassouhl clay was in our cupboard waiting to be used, so I tried it out straight away and... wow. I love it! My hair was much more curly all the way to the roots and the oil in my hair didn't start adding up to quickly, so after one week (which is when I usually wash it) it still feels good! It also felt SO soft after washing it with the clay! So soft that I didn't use any conditioner and it felt amazing! I'm SO excited I found your channel and hairtyps. THANK YOU 💕💕💕💕💕💕

I have straight hair and I’m here bc my hair has gotten so thin and I’m experiencing a lot of hair loss. When I was a kid and teenager, my hair was so thick that I would break hair ties just from putting it up in a ponytail. Now the thinnest pony tail holder is all I need to put my hair up and it doesn’t break. I’m so thankful for your videos and looking forward to devoting myself to these methods ❤ thank you Katherine
I recently began using non lathering products based on old "oil based" methods that women have used for centuries. I experienced a full 3 month detox period where my scalp/hair was expelling terrible toxins and plastics. I am only just now at the end of this and this detox showed me just how badly I've been treating my hair and scalp! That's why I'm sold on the old healthy ways and I'm learning some new ideas here! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. 👏

I am in too ! I am half way there already , just missing pur on not using traditional modern shampoo and such ! . Wearing my hip length hair up all the time , wash it only every 2 -3 weeks and brush it only 3-4 times during that time . I have medium curly hair , but dry . My hair grows like weeds, and that at age 64.5 years old ! So, I am very excited to do this challenge ! And even more excited to see the difference. Just ordered the oil and clay , everything else I have . So happy I found your channel ! I have my own cooking channel, too . 😂 can't wait to begin ! But mostly , I have been doing the right historical thing for many years already, and many people gave me dirty looks . But I stut by myself , knowing I was doing it right ! So thank you ! 😊
I looked up your channel and watched your video about oiling your hair.
Woow! Your hair is gorgeous! 😮❤️
@hanatlili9960 Thank you so much Hana. I have been thinking to cut just about a hand wide cause in my video about my hair , I noticed , it does not look good at the endings .

So I watched your last one and started detangling before the shower. The last time I showered I dentangled in the shower. I realized just how much frizz that was causing!! Insane.
I cannot believe my results after a month and a half on this routine.. I use rhassoul with hot water into a paste with a bit of acv and keep adding water till liquid like Katherine does. I then use a natrual conditioner bar on my ends and rinse and do a super diluted ACV rinse with peppermint rosemary and tea tree. I boar bristle brush every day use silk scrunchies and use a bit of dry rhassul clay on my roots when it's oily. I can get up to 2 weeks without washing this way.. I've had about 2 inches of growth in a month and a half on this routine. I buzzed my hair off a year ago so this amount of growth is so impressive to me and makes such a difference. Can't wait to see where I am in a year. Thank you SO MUCH you've changed my life.
Hi, do you prepare your clay only with AVC and water, don’t you add aloe vera juice please?
I thought I would share the similarities and differences since I have the "finer, straighter, oilier" hair and scalp types you mention and there are some things that work for 4c hair that don't work for my 2a hair. My hair is roughly mid-thigh length.
I use light oils as a leave in regularly. My hair is very tangle prone despite being relatively straight compared to yours so the ends need care. Jojoba is plenty light enough for me to use a few drops on the ends daily. I mist with an aloe vera mixture first to detangle actually. Mine has herbs like mashmallow and slippery elm and I need that to get the ends to stop acting like a spiderweb. There are many other people with fine hair who use heavier oils like coconut as a leave in while some use nothing at all or an aloe spray. I can't use those oils because my skin reacts badly to both, but I can even use relatively heavy options like sweet almond or olive oil without it being weighed down or stringy.
I can't use a boar bristle brush at all. It tears my hair up and seems to do nothing but anger my scalp. I gave up and bought a Norse inspired double sided wooden comb and use that for the same purpose. It has a medium side for detangling and a fine side for moving the oils down. I finger detangle first to get the tangles out, then slowly use the medium side to get smaller tangles out, then use the fine side to massage my scalp and distribute leave ins, then I often do a few last passes with the medium side to get it ready to braid.
I rarely oil the scalp. It doesn't hurt my scalp but it does make it look more oily. If I do oil the scalp it will be the day before a wash. I wash with shampoo and conditioner bars from a zero waste company 2-3 times a week. Often I braid the length and only wash the scalp with shampoo and water in a hair dye bottle.
I trim my hair 2-4 times a year to get rid of unevenness. I do it myself because I don't trust stylists either.
I forgot. I don't use vinegar rinses because I hate the smell and I just couldn't be compliant. I use citric acid rinses which I mix myself. It can be bought as a preservative for canning so it's in grocery stores or amazon. Same exact function but slightly different acid.
I literally just googled boars hair brush and scalp inflammation a week ago. My scalp feels like it is on fire after using it. I went back to a comb as well. I bought the clay online, and was pleasantly surprised at how soft my hair felt
Thanks Tirya for this information. I have 2a/b hair so this is helpful for me 😊
I have fine strands with type 4 hair. Using diluted shampoo or clay in a squeeze bottle is so helpful and easier application. People don't realize you aren't supposed to apply shampoo to your scalp full strength.
Very interesting, Tirya. My hair is similar to yours, and is hip-length. I'm just starting on my new hair care regimen courtesy of Katherine! I have a soft natural bristle brush (see my main comment re this) which is very gentle and feels divine to use!
Love your videos! So great! My only suggestion is that sulfur is not good if you’re Rh negative blood type. It is what causes the yellow orange color around the eye pupil and is considered toxic to this blood type. Just fyi. I had just learned about this. You’re video are so informative. Keep them coming!
I have been doing this for a week now since I watched your last video I had some bentonite clay in my bathroom cupboard and honestly yes my hair is soft manageable and my scalp feels great with the vinegar

ACV is a lifesaver for me. Sometimes my scalp gets so bad that becomes flaky, inflamed and itchy. One rinse of ACV gives me such a relief. I didn't know you could use clay to wash hair. Thank you for the information. Healthier alternatives to comercial products are always welcomed 😊
I am so glad I found your channel! I am a biracial woman who has fine curly hair but a lot of it! I am following your tips and my scalp is finally healed and my hair is so lush and shiny! You are a wealth of information, thank you so much!
I have been watching all your videos like crazy and have bought some things to start transitioning to no poo, I already did a few times weekly wash, since finding your page two weeks ago switched to once a week, combined with wrapping and protected styles have already made a difference. Thank you for all your time you take to share.
A fellow Canadian! I live in southern BC and work in the NWT and my long, coarse, chemically treated hair is taking a beating! I’ve watched both of these videos multiple times and am excited to get off the shampoo when I get home from camp! Thank you so much for all the wonderful info☺️✌️
Can you ask her what high end hair oil she uses?
I dye my hair and I have been doing no poo for over 15 yrs, and I’ve been rinsing with ACV once every few weeks since then. It’s perfectly safe on my color treated hair.
i so appreciate you putting so much love and care into your videos! really shows you walk out what you teach
just wanted to say thank you for putting in all of that time. you are an inspiration!

Thank you so much!! I haven’t even finished watching this yet but I’m so excited! I have the same hair texture as you and have been so frustrated with my hair! I bought everything I need and can’t wait for it to get here so I can try your routine!❤️❤️

I tried it, my hair and scalp responded with softness and waves. I have grey hair, and used a small amount of olive oil with the water and clay. Rinsing well. Amazing❤️
Thank you!!!!!! I am Mexican & white with hip length hair slightly less curly than yours, and I've also found that kinky hair practices work way better for me than what other white curly hair girls on the internet are doing. Its really validating to see someone who looks like me who also uses more kinky hair care practices.
Hi. I've recently found your channel. I've ALWAYS wanted long, beautiful hair. But I'm now 52 years old. I also have psoriasis so my hair loss has gotten worse. I'm definitely going to try your methods especially the gentle handling. I'm excited to try this.
You were clearly pregnant and that is the best time to grow your hair. Nice to find you and your hair is gorgeous. Found your video to be very informative and I dig that. My hair is down to my calves. I'm going to try the Bentonite Clay. I already use it for tooth powder and love it. Will be hanging out for the historical sewing! Thanks!
I would agree, my hair grew so much during pregnancy and taking pre -natal vitamins and minerals made my hair grew like crazy
Well, after pregnancy, that growth and retention often falls out 😢
Happened to me after each baby.
Fortunately, after a few months, it returned to normal.
You are right, I was pregnant, but I had also been pregnant with another baby during the first several photos I shared, where I didn’t gain much length - which is why I believe the MSM helped me so much ❤
I am forever growing out my hair and most chemicals don’t work well with me , so I appreciate you making this video with natural hair tips ❤️
I ordered it but could not find a tutorial of anyone with the same hair type doing it. So glad you followed up!!!
I love the videos that you made about long natural hair care. I have been using rice water shampoo and conditioner bars by Viori. When I first used them a few times my hair was much lighter and my hair went from straightish to wavy. I really want to try out the hair care tips and get my long hair longer. Thank you for sharing! Keep them coming! ❤
I have loose-wavy hair, and I've tried using a couple of eggs instead of shampoo, and it worked great for cleansing, but it caused the protein buildup similar to what you mentioned with the clay. I think the ACV will fix that issue, thank you for all the time and care you put into this video! Your hair is so healthy and gorgeous.
Edit: I have also found that mixing a packet of gelatin with very warm water and a dash of vinegar and then letting it sit in a shower cap for around 20-30 mintues (or more) before I wash my hair makes it very soft and shiny and helps it to retain its natural shape.
Wow, what gave you the idea to try adding gelatin?
i changed my hair routine because of you and i'm so happy with this step so thank you so much for your advice
Hello can you share with us what did you do about the smell? Part of what i like about ahampooing is having a nice smelling hair.. What do you do about that with the new method? Will i have tp give that up? And what about the smell of veniger?
@@user-wq1jr9jn6w i changed only some of my routine and by that i mean the part concerning the finger detangling , washing my hair in 4 plaits, using minimal water to wash and putting my hair in a bun all day and in a braid at night and sleeping on a satin pillow case.
i still use shampoo, i dilute my gentle shampoo in water, put it on my scalp and use a scalp massager to help clean my hair. so i took what works for my hair from the video and i ditched what doesn.t work for me; the clay wash caused so much buildup so i don't like it and honestly there's nothing wrong with natural and mild shampoos as long as you don't use it on your hair length
@@amiraah8735 thank you so much for replying to my question 💞💞 I might do the same like you 👌
@@user-wq1jr9jn6w What we eat has alot to do with health of hair an skin. Much odors also come from eating meat, processed foods an junk as our bodies push toxins out.
Many years ago I hit some hard times an wasn't able to shower as often as I would have liked to. During this time I learned a lot due to my experiences an curiosity as to what was causing it. I didn't have body odor issues that others were dealing with that's when I learned eating healthy does wonders in so many ways. Also during this time I was only able to wash my hair once a week sometimes only once a month. My hair grew a foot past what I was told was may length limit. That my hair would never grow past my shoulders 🙄 This is when I learned they lie about much simply to sell products. Washing hair daily dries it out an strips it of natural oils.
Wash less often. Use natural stuff from nature an take note how your hair reacts. Yucca was used by natives as various herbal waters. Many cultures used various oils. It doesn't have to be complicated by any means. Olive oil an avacado oil work as well though a little goes a long ways. They are antibacterial, antimicrobial an antifungal meaning they attack an prohibit those small microorganisms. Can be used as antibacterial soap, leave in hair conditioner, body lotion, and more. Those oils have vit E an zinc an other nutrients your skin an hair will soak up.
Lemons are also great for beauty care cleansing, disinfects an has a component that eats puss causing bacteria. Drinking lemon water an lime water regularly will help Overall health skin an hair as well.
Rose oil an Rose water are also antibacterial antimicrobial an antifungal. Many herbs are. These natural foods an herbs have different vitamins, minerals, an Natural MeDiCiNes.
Research what's in them an how your hair an body reacts find what works for you an what smells you prefer. Lemongrass water is a very nice clean smell as well. There are so many possibilities just consider how many different scents of flowers an herbs there are . How many different perfumes are sold...not everyone enjoys the exact same scents there is a wide variety out there to make your own hair tonic water for rinsing or spray to refresh between washes that are antibacterial antimicrobial an antifungal helping keep clean.
Your hair will adapt as it doesn't have to fight being stripped of oils constantly but it takes time an depending on what you are using oil wise an how much it how little effects as well. Remember with natural oils a little goes a LONG way else looks more oily. The natural oils help control sebum as well. Experiment see what works an what you like. Wash less often an when you can't stand how oily it is wash it just try to go longer between each time. Try to use a gentle shampoo with natural ingredients when you do.
Wash less often. Braid at night at least. Don't get trims unless absolutely needed an do yourself if you can. Eat healthier beauty begins inside our bodies. Use natural oils in nature sparingly as your hair needs. An herbal waters you can make yourself. I hope you enjoy your journey.
When I quit washing daily years ago I went from shoulder length hair to almost waist length after years of being told my hair was genetically only going to grow to that length.
I no longer listen to the garbage the insist upon I use mostly natural products for most everything an absolutely love the results it's had in my life an in my health.
Can people w experience using RICE WATER comment on what it does for your hair please? Is this historically a beauty topical originating in Asian countries ? I learned about it from a Brazilian woman ….(who taught me how to properly “sugar” (instead of wax))
Another nice long video, I’m grabbing popcorn and settling in for a comfy hour 😊🎉
I love long videos too, especially if they are as informative as this! I didn't eat the popcorn, but enjoyed it with my breakfast this morning!
The wet detangling isn't necessarily a commercial thing 😊. One of my curly haired aunts living in a rural area in Morocco since birth, always did that (no tv no commercials no magazines..) . She used the rassul clay and cactus gel as shampoo and brushed her hair when wet only, before applying oil or vaseline to her hair 😊 and her hair was and still is gorgeous even now 😊
Even my grandma brushed her hair wet (very vigorously!), and she's still got a gorgeous head of silver hair 😍 That was the traditional way of hair care, lots of brushing the hair while washing, oils after, masks before wash, and protective hair styles 😁
Hair breaks off easier when it's wet.
I've felt the need to go retro, dress and styling. Thank you for opening the door. I'll be watching.

I want to add hair wrapping to the mix. I started wearing a tichel style wrap this year, and the difference in my hair is astonishing. The under cap and the scarf absorb some of the excess oil and there's minimal breakage and sun damage. Since my hair is mostly covered , nobody sees the oil and I end up naturally not washing as often. Head coverings are part of the toolkit, and they're so comfortable.
Thanks again for this much needed video! I already practice much of what you suggest already...being African American... I'm still learning much from your videos 👍🏾💯
What should a weekly routine look like? I'm just discovering your channel. Thinning fine wavy frizzy hair. How would i start a routine
Clay is very high in ph this opens the haircuticle that is the roughness you feel if you forget the ACV rinse. Hairs pH needs to be around 4.5 to fully close the haircuticle that is what the ACV rinse does bring it back to a low enough pH for the cuticles to close. Good modern shampoos do the same and have a low pH of their own (barely any of the current sold shampoo's are low enough in ph though that is why so many people are suffering)

I wanted to add that if you're overwhelmed by completely jumping into this new routine, I've been using hairstory for the last year or two and only washing about once a week. It's a bit pricey, but would be a really simple place to start. (I started bc even though I only had a pixie, my hair was more greasy than ever before!!) I've already started adopting some of these new tips since last week and my hair feels SOOO soft. I have wavy hair, fairly straight and the top gets greasy and today's the first time ive considered washing my hair again. I'll use the rest of my hair story, then ill move over the to the clay. Thank you so much! Also thank you for the discount code, I have been looking at these boots recently!!
What exactly is hair story, please? I don't understand...
@@eeaotly It’s call New Wash by the company Hair Story it’s a detergent free way of cleansing. I never tried. The ingredients look good but I’m cheap af and I use Ayurvedic herbs to wash my hair. There are recipes on CZcams and online. I was always curious about New Wash though. I want to try to make something similar. If I can.
If you do the New Wash by Hairstory, do you know if you can still do oil treatments? Also, do you need to do apple vinegar or anything else? Basically, does the new wash cut down on steps for natural hair care?
@@laurenbrooks3091 hey! Im still using hairstory. basically i only use it once or twice a week like before, but the big thing I started is not getting my hair wet at all unless i want to use my silicone scrubber for dandruff control. I still use oil in my ends but I havent come up with a schedule for it. maybe once a week, usually after washing. I tried the apple cider vinegar once and it felt really nice, super diluted with a few drops of peppermint! really brings your circulation up. all of those things are pretty cheap. you can buy a bottle of jojoba oil for maybe $10 or less at a health food store and put some lavender or peppermint essential oil in it (or nothing) and apple cider vinegar is only a few bucks for a bottle i think and you dont need a lot to cleanse your hair, mostly water. I just got back from vacation so i dont have a set routine with these new things. theyre just fun to try out and maybe incorporate into your schedule one day! For example i might incorporate the vinegar more once i transition to the clay but for now i still have hairstory, its just too pricey for me.
@@WanderTrust thanks so much! I appreciate it. 😊
Hi Katherine! I have finally tried the clay wash and vinegar rinse and O-M-Geeee! Why have I not tried this earlier?!? I used bentonite clay bc its what I had on hand and I have an oily scalp, and I added some essential oils (cypress, eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint) my scalp feels AMAZING. I cannot believe how GOOD my scalp feels now. I have thin, bone straight, hair and this wash has given me BODY??? What?!? I actually have body and bounce to my hair, the smell is incredible too. Thank you so much again for posting this helpful video. ❤❤❤
I’ve got 4C and I’ve started my hair growth challenge today. I created my hair oil using castor, coconut and olive oil. I added spearmint, lavender, rosemary, fenugreek, and msm. I also purchased the clay and will use it as an overnight hair mask once a week. I’m taking 2 supplements as well; boron, and total liver d-tox.
You may dry your hair out too much, leaving the clay on overnight. Just leave it on for a couple of minutes and rinse out.
I second @oscitant otter. You shouldn't use a clay mask overnight. I have 4b-c hair and leave clay washes/treatments on my hair for 10-30 minutes depending on the purpose of that mix. Green Beauty has great tutorials about clay washes/treatments.
Good for you👌🏼💯👏🏼💕 I'm so glad to hear that. I have a gf with 4c and she just straight up doesn't love her hair 😞 and it shows... i always try to encourage her but when im not around she kinda regresses into not doing so well... Yet I have a 4c hairstylist cousin that totally loves her hair and takes care of it and it shows and grows (btw she doesn't chemically treat her hair, she only does safe color, that's it)! Don't believe the hype on in terms of time care and love your hair may need a little bit more but it's not AS different in terms of general natural hair care (as your 3c friends here 🙋🏽♀️). Keep trying, keep learning, do what works for you, & never give up!
@@Oscitant_Otter Thanks! I washed it out before bed.
@@nedume.2223 Yeah, it was leaking through the plastic cap so I washed it out after a few hours.
Hey, I have straight hair with an oily scalp. And honestly the thing that's helped with the oily lankiness the most is scalp massage. I have to massage my scalp thoroughly twice a day before brushing. And it will bring more life and volume to my hair, and loosen any dandruff or oil building up on my scalp. If I stop massaging my hair for a while it'll very quickly get lanky and sad looking, even if I'm still doing all the other good things. And I'll feel like I need to wash my hair more often cause my scalp will get itchy and really weighed down
Funny enough, my daughter used to have super fine hair as a child super weighed down, and I used coconut oil treatments on her scalp and hair for 1 year every weekend, it made her hair look like magic! Longer and shiny and thicker and healthy! I also have curly but super fine hair and I use coconut oil once a month, it works wonders for me too
The fact that you can say “boar bristle brush” so many times in a row is amazing!😁 I am trying out this routine and excited to see the results. Researching MSM is my next step. Thank you for this content!
🤣🤍
It would be amazing if you cover some natural make up ways (historical cuz why not) , especially for those with skin issues.

I plan on it! ❤
I've been told drinking bone broth can help your body have nutrients to help grow hair. Anyone else heard this or tried it?
Yes, its the collagen
I don't wash my hair with clay but I'm not against it and I'm here to learn something. I use just water, oils and occasionally but rarely a cleansing conditioner.

Thank you so much! I have thick curly hair as well. The struggle is real! I just had 4 inches cut off to try to hit healthy hair, and I still have frizz!! I'm so excited about starting this routine.
Clay will clog drains over time. Rinse into a bucket then throw out water outside
I love these videos since we have similar hair! I would also LOVE if you would post a video of how you take care of your skin since it's just so beautiful. 😍
⬆️👆Thanks for watching👆⬆️Text me to receive prizes🎁Congratulations🤝 🎁👆..
Thanks! Planning on it, it is quite similar to my hair routine. Natural and minimalist ❤️
I think it's important to remember that scalp care is also skincare, a little different but just as important for your wellbeing. also if you're looking for a bristle brush/wooden comb I suggest looking at beard brushes/combs. they seem to be accessible, affordable and the exact thing you might be looking for.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜💜💜 I followed your instructions today when washing my hair. And oh god it looks and feels amazing 🤩
I would love to see your skin care routine too!

When you say "add oil to my ends" how much of your hair do you consider your "ends?" Also I've been using the shea butter on my hair and my skin. Ty for the tip! My eye wrinkles are almost gone! My skin feels great! I put it on my arms and the crepeness is gone. Amazing
Your ends are the section that feel the driest
Where do you get your Shea butter ?
@@sarahlega8303 I got a tub on Amazon. She probably has a link for it. I've also been using vitamin e oil and lanolin on my skin.
It really depends on your hair length and yes, what feels the driest. The shorter your hair is, the shorter the section identified as “ends” will be ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this content. I discovered your channel when you posted your first hair video. That sent me down a rabbit hole of Ayurvedic hair care and the discovery of other channels sharing similar information. I made a big purchase on Amazon to begin my natural hair journey. I had never stopped to consider that the shampoos, conditioners, and curling creams were to blame for my limp hair. I have 3b curls and my roots would look very nourished, while the rest of my hair was limp and stringy. Even when my hair would grow, the healthy texture and pattern would only be present for the first few inches of growth, and the rest would turn limp. I thought that it was because I had dyed it (which was a contributing factor) but I think a bigger contributor were the products that I was using. Thanks to you I now wash my hair with soap nuts and clay followed by a hibiscus tea rinse. I have been much more creative and intentional with using protective styles (which I get loads of compliments on). I use oils and powdered herbs for an overnight deep conditioner once a week. I dye my hair with henna and indigo. I finger detangle and oil my hair at night. I make my own curling cream using shea butter and jojoba for when I do decide to wear my hair down. I tried flax gel and my hair did not respond well. All this to say, my hair is LOVING this new routine! My curls are gaining bounce, shape, and healing from past damage. My curl pattern is returning. I have less shedding than before. My hair has grown about 1.5 inches since I started at the end of November ‘22. I’m sooo impressed and in awe with all this beautiful progress in such a short time frame. Why were these practices given up in the last hundred years when they’ve been working for centuries?!? Thanks for sharing this content and inspiring me to start this journey.
Your hair is gorgeous. If mine looked like that, I’d have to put it up, just to avoid touching it all day. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience. I really appreciate it. I’m hoping this brings me to healthier, longer, thicker hair.
I was so excited to see your video on your hair! I also have curly hair and you addressed so many problems that all women face!! Thanks so much & your hair is lovely!! Vicki

Thank you, my hair care is not a routine it is a daily ritual x
I am in my mid-30s and have wavy hair that is currently shoulder length. I wore it as a pixie cut for a decade, but now I want to grow it really long for the first time ever. I find this current shoulder length unflattering and awkward so I hope it grows fast. 😂 I've already started implementing some of your tips. I'm excited to continue this hair journey.
I enjoy the long videos, for me no need to keep short, but just one vote. I sew while listening. very soothing
Did you have had a baby (or two) in the last few years? The pregnancy hormones also make our hair grow very fast, thick and healthy.(from my experience of 3x) I always experienced better, stronger hair growth during and right after pregnancies. I do see how this routine would help protect and keep the growth, and I'm about to embark on this journey, Thank you for your suggestions! I'm just curious if hormones were also a part of helping it grow so long
After I had my babes I had a glorious mane...lasted maybe three years. Now. I need help! LOL
From the age of her children, I believe she wasn't experiencing (much) growth during some of her pregnancies, and the MSM may be slightly before, or during, or after her last baby (if my sense of things is correct). Man, I hope my hair grows when I'm pregnant... but I won't count on it because everyone's hormones and health are different. I'm also sorta counting on getting some change in texture like my mother did, because having the ability to more easily have volume would be fun (my hair is very flat and straight).
@@NoraRoisin mine is also very flat and straight, it did grow atleast 5-8 inches during and post baby, but no real texture changes. The prenatal vitamins probably contribute, too.
@@GenXtothe7thPower Ah, yes, given that a lot of women use those, I wonder how much that can affect things. Encouraging, too, because a lot of those things are vitamins and minerals I will want to work on getting now, even though I'm not pregnant. :D
@@NoraRoisinPrecisely!
I have fine classic length hair and all I've done is cut split ends, never cut length, finger detangle, and use bar shampoo but this is really gonna help maintain it and maybe reach mid thigh I guess (bc cutting still feels weird), thanks for doing all the work for me and compiling it lol
Thank you for the shout-out, babe. 4C hair is harder to maintain and we go have to use gentler techniques. Also, your sister is beautiful!
Good info, I'm going to try this routine with my beard. Might get it waist length. 😄
