I Accidentally Gave My Hair Moisture OVERLOAD! - Pics & Update - 4C Natural Hair/ Type 4 Hair

- What up, y'all? So this was not a planned video... however, I wanted to make sure to warn anyone who might be doing something in their routine that could compromise the health of their hair. I accidentally gave my hair moisture overload for the 3rd time smh! 😓 In this video, I share what happened this time as well as pics from this incident and 2021... God bless!
So i went to a trichologist a few weeks ago who told me that porosity basically doesn't mean anything unless your hair is chemical, colour or heat treated. She said that hair under 2 inches from the scalp tends to be low porosity because the hair is newer and the rest of the hair shaft is likely high porosity due to general wear and tear, pollution, friction etc. Turns out my hair needed and LOVES protein and i thought i was a low porosity, protein sensitive girly for 10 years!!! My hair is starting to grow back and retain length. She said its also about getting your sebum levels back in balance which is about general health. I love love love your channel and I'm not giving this as a recommendation because i know you have health things going on and I'm not a doctor but i just thought I'd share as i found it really interesting and useful ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing
I believe you should go back to doing the actual hair tutorials that you used to do. I, like so many other people, learned how to style my God-given hair because of your tutorials. You had such a humble Spirit as well as great tips and techniques. To this day I go back to some of your old tutorials to remember how to style my 4C hair.
Same! She was 1 of my go to for natural hair help!
Aww I'm so glad those videos were helpful!🤗 I have been legit unable to really do anything different with my hair because of what's been going on and all these dang allergies. I can't even use most of the stuff I used to use here on YT. 😔 I have had no intense regimen and no rules for a really long time. Y'all would probably be like woah! Lol!! I just do what works for me at the time... according to what Ms. Fro/Mrs. Thang decides to do... or require 😑
Heyyyyy 4c! Just so you know, it's natural for a woman's hair to thin at certain stages (including health stages) and ages in our lives. It'll thin then thicken and fluctuate between the two. Our hair is not going to be the same always. Just relax breathe and hydrate sis, you are beautiful. Thank you for the pumpkin seed tip ❤ regular clear color organic castor oil has been working for me too ....oh and please, keep smiling. God is on the throne
No advice to give; I just wanted to say that I miss seeing you on CZcams. I'm glad that you're back 😃
yayyyy!!!! it's so Nice to see this frequent uploads, like I need you to take care of yourself and YOU DONT OWE US ANYTHING .... but... it's just sooo nice to see you out here taking us along in your journey
Hey!!! Thank you! 🤗 I wanted to post this because although embarrassing, I was letting people know what I was doing at the moment with my hair in the comments on my other videos and I'm not sure if anyone else was going to try it out as well for themselves. I was like, nah y'all can't be out here with your hair melting away from moisture overload 😂😂
I agree!
You have such a lovely spirit! You mentioned perimenopause. I know first hand that can cause a dramatic change in our hair. I'm in my late 40s and I've been experiencing it for a few years now. So much thinning, it's ridiculous! I'm honestly at the point where I just want to cut it all off and just keep my hair a couple inches long. I'm sick of dealing with the lack of density. Not that low density hair can't be beautiful, but it's a big change if you're used to having high density hair. I'm also tired of sweating like a freaking lumberjack, but that's a story for another day. The stuff we ladies have to deal with.
Along with adding protein to your hair regimen, have you considered using a bond builder? That might help give your hair more structure.
I am so glad to see you back on CZcams. I’ve missed your videos! ♥️
When I experienced moisture overload from leaving conditioner in overnight, I used Dr. Bronners Castile lavender soap and only used rinse out conditioners or balancing deep treatments. Most of the time I washed once with the Castile soap and followed up with a regular non drying shampoo. And during that time I used hair milks since they aren't thick. Clarifying the hair should be part of the haircare routine to remove all products from our hair, how often depends on the amount of product used and how many. Growing up using regular shampoos, rinse out conditioners only, and hairdresser or grease left our hair healthy. Back then my mom used Suave for the family. To note: we weren't heavy handed using products back then either like I'm seeing on CZcams. I've always had a lot of long 4a/4b hair low porosity hair and used an egg size or 2 of conditioner. Also we didn't put conditioner on our scalps, just on the hair shaft. As you're massaging it in some will move further up the hair anyway. We didn't have these issues that I see occurring with people on CZcams. I've noticed overtime some people on CZcams have gone back to some old school practices, including hair grease, now their hair is thriving again. We have to be careful with some of the practices that we see on CZcams, and reevaluate how to take care of our hair. If you're gonna layer with a lot of products the hair needs to be clarified. Just use sulfate free clarifying shampoos. Also, because of allergies, you could look into fragrance free products, or maybe even using ayurvedic practices. There are quite a few people on CZcams thriving with ayurvedic practices. And when trying anything new, do patch testing. I've attached a link that have an article about protein and moisture overload. I hope it helps you. Peace and blessings❤

I love your wonderful spirit. You have been through many different situations down through the years, whether it was your body or your hair but you have kept a great attitude with great laughter. Life is not always fun but thank God he give us joy in the mist of unpleasant situations.
Thank you 😊. I will say it is not always pleasant and I've have plenty of venting sessions and meltdowns 😔. But I know that God is in control and everything is going to be ok. I'm just really exhausted with having to constantly struggle with something... but again, I'm going to continue to trust The Lord. 🙏
Pumpkin oil? I will check it out. My gray, wiry hair, just seems reject my current moisturizing cream. Only when I go the beauty salon and sit under the steam I get some relief. Also going back to hair grease, seems to help with my silk press .
Great seeing you again. Thanks for the update😊
Awesome! For awhile there, I would gently press my hair on a low temp )flat iron and or do a blow out with some blue magic in prep for my updos WITHOUT issue! No heat damage! It saved me time and prevented mechanical damage and tangles along the way! It was magical lol!
In many cases, my hair actually prefers some of those old methods that would have many up in arms today 😂😂😂. I personally say do what works for you and just pay attention to how your hair responds.
I started back using blue magic, it has been a game changer. My hair loves it I use the green for my edges and blue for the rest of my hair for detangling and softness.
Thanks for sharing, this too shall pass 🙏❤️
I hear you. I just had my hair straightened again on Friday.
Praying for you, take it one day at a time. I love watching you. I have locs. For me it was the best thing. I am 66 years old. Had a lot of issues. But now it's doing good.
I have been experiencing excessive hair shedding as well for about four years. I don't know what happened other than stress! Thanks for suggesting using products with protein!
Your style looks nice here. “ Big chop is about to be happening…” Oh no! If you have to big chop I understand. Thank you for talking about moisture overload.
Lol! I seriously sectioned off a portion in the back to begin mentally preparing just in case 😂😂😂
LOL! Always got to prepare. @@NaturalMe4C
Hang in there..yes "it will be alright" I had hair loss in the middle & side of my head in January 2023. Finally it's growing back. So I understand your frustration with thinness. Always keep in mind or focus on what you have over come to help you get through. I'm thinking an allergy test may also help you identify what's going on. My hair issue was a number of reasons (diet not enough protein, inflammation, stress, wearing extensions on my fine hair etc) not just one. You may want to take a DHT blocker supplement . I was taking vital nutrient saw palmetto with pygeum & nettle root among other supplements. It's on Amazon. Moisture over load..sounds like you got that figured out with focusing on including protein in your regimen. Stay blessed & consistent you'll get through this. I'm finally seeing results & slowly cutting off thin ends.
I feel you. I've experienced my hair getting "skinny". Not shedding but not as fluffy and fat. For me, I get back on my iron regimen, and my strands fatten up again. Not sure if iron deficiency is your issue or not, just commiserating with you. Skinny hair is a thing! No fall out or breakage. Just thin "skinny" hair. If I'm not dedicated to iron regimen, my coils go all Olive Oyl on me. Best of luck with your tresses sis!
I have Menorrhagia and a submucosal fibroid and have struggled with iron deficiency anemia and low ferritin since 2016 😔. I've talked about it in my previous videos throughout the years, and although my diet is rich with iron foods and I take a high dose pill for iron daily, my ferritin never has been above 32 I believe 😔. It's beyond frustrating. Back in 2017 or something when I went to a Hematologist, she was like the low ferritin didn't cause hair loss smh. I basically got dismissed smh.
You look gorgeous ❤❤❤ from my experience moisture overload is real lol hair finity protein treatment to rebalance the strength and iron pills with oranges is a staple for me
Good to see you girl! Go! Pumpkin seed oil!!! I am gonna try that!
OMGoodness, I haven't seen you in maybe 7 years. WOW!!!!
Lol, hey, where have you been?? Just kidding, I've been MIA forever! 😅 Thanks for stopping by! 🤗
Hi Kriss....I just ordered so 5% Minoxidil for women, and used my first application. That same evening, I got a headache and panicked because I wasn't sure if it was a diabetic headache or from the Minoxidil. I read the entire instuctions and applied as stated, just at my thin spots in the front. Instructions say to use once a day for at least 3 months before seeing results. *** Sigh *** Praying I stick with this, but going on a cruise in May and will probably just wear a wig or hairpiece. I hate my hair and will throw on a hat or cap when I am going out to run errand or just to the store. Anyway, I ♥ how thick your hair is.
Oh my! 😔 It's going to be alright! I hope you'll be able to use it with great results! I feel you on wearing something to help camouflage the hair loss. I'm not a wig wearer, but told Ty that I think I need get one and to learn how to wear one just in case smh... God bless you!
Hey sis, I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, thank you for sharing your story. I love the Mielle babassu oil and mint deep conditioner.it a perfect balance of protein and moisture, also I love the treatment mask from pattern beauty.
Please keep us posted on your journey.
I just love your spirit ❤️
We really miss you on YT 😩
Hey Kriss!👋🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
What up!!
Hey girl! Thanks for the product advice 😁 Just wondering, have you considered locs??? I was always curious but never seriously considered it until my hair started shedding the year after my Dad passed. By year 2, I knew I was going to either do another big chop or locs. So far, the locs are working for me -- just a thought...🤔
You are just sooooo BEAUTIFUL.🤩
Oh thank you! ☺️☺️
The lightest mildest protein I know of is Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer. Try using that every other day to see what happens and then if it works switch to twice a week due to the low porosity issue. I have high porosity and I use it every day with no problems but don't do what I do if your hair is low porosity. Good luck. I have some hairloss...right along with you at age 42 in the perimenopause. I use a caffeine water-based mist as my DHT blocker. Oil makes my scalp itch so no oil for me.
Hi, I have low porosity hair and I bought the aphogee green tea cus I also developed moisture overload. I don’t want to overdue it with the green tea and get protein overload as well. How often do you use the green tea?? And when you use it do you also use your moisturizer on top of the green tea?? Thanks
@@ModelingTabi I'm not sure if the Aphoghee Keratin & green tea Restructurizer will help moisture overload. Try using it three times a week. Apply the protein spray before the moisturiser. Probably avoid moisturising your hair so often if you have moisture overload and start using a diffuser or a hooded drier to make sure your low porosity hair is dry every day. Definitely do not have damp hair all day or all night.
When my hair feels like it needs protein, I use coconut oil and aloe vera juice/gel as a pre-poo. I apply it to dry hair, cover my head in plastic and let it sit for at least an hour before proceeding with my normal wash routine.
ETA: oops! I meant I apply it to dampened hair (spritzed with plain water) but not washed or cleaned in any way. However, i use a larger percentage of aloe than oil, so it is enough to wet the hair anyway, it will just take a little longer to soak in.
I did this to my hair some years back doing wash n gos daily. I switched to being a Str8 natural. Try Olaplex. Do a protein treatment & wear it Str8 for a while.
Sorry to hear about your allergies. When I was younger we used to use eggs as a natural protein treatment. We'd take a couple eggs, beat them and use it as a hair mask. I know some people say the molecules are bigger than the synthetic ones, but hey, it used to work for me. Mayonnaise is another option. 🧡🤍💛
I’ve been using Fenugreek powder ( I mix it in with an egg and let it sit on my hair for less than 5 min. it’s been strengthening my hair. I also use Just as I am products.
FERMENTED RICE WATER will stop the protein overload in its tracks just don't use it too much. While some people can use it almost everyday, others can only use it once or twice a week/month. I have high po hair so I can use it almost everyday but be careful with low po hair. Please see "cyn doll".
Ive had locs for 4 years now (microlocs) and even with color, my hair is thriving. But when i was a loose natural, i did once give myself moisture overload so bad that my hair felt like mush. Clarifying and some protein fixed that. I started using greek yougurt for my protein,(you can look at the back, some have more protein than others) letting it sit without getting it on my scalp, and it restored my hair at that time. Non sweetened no flavor plain greek yougurt.
How Mr Ty been doing. I have been catching up on your Kriss and Ty videos
Hey! He's doing well! 🤗
bruh, this literally happened to me yesterday. I broke off my waist lenght hair. My hair is so thin. I kinda want to disappear
I know you have allergies, as do I. I have recently started using more ayurvedic treatments. I noticed a big difference ( for the best) using ayurvedic masks like henna in my hair. I have bad ezcema and allergies ( skin, food, and sinus, pets, trees, plants; you name it) and I have not had any really noticeable reactions. I will admit the masks and/or gloss bars are extremely messy and takes several hours. I have what I believe is low prorosity, fine hair strands. It takes a while to throughly rinse out the masks. My scalp is itchy if I don't throughly rinse out all of the masks. Honestly, I find the ones I make myself are the hardest to rinse out. I do believe straining the masks and making sure there are not large particles will help. I have been to lazy to do that. I recently started using the gloss bars from Now I am Nappy and my hair loves them and they rinse out way easier. I am sure her masks are more finely sifted than the masks I make using ayurvedic powders I buy from Amazon. Anyway, I say all this to say ayurvedic is more natural and has protein the hair needs in a lot of them like henna, cassia, etc. I would even say watch Now I am Nappy 's CZcams channel. She has recently been doing live answer and questions on Sunday for a hair challenge that is about to end. She also talks about pumpkin seed oil and other DHT blockers to help with hair loss. She has allergies and is very knowledgeable about ayurvedic. She can point you in the right direction. I will say try only one or two ayurvedic herbs at a time, to determine if you have an allergic reaction.
Good luck, I too have been on a journey to grow back my thinning hair. Its mainly self inflicted. I have done a poor job of caring for my hair and constantly wearing tight braided styles.
Thanks so much for the tips! I added couple of ayurvedic products in my Amazon cart a few months back, but I chickened out, haha. I saw some great reviews and some scary ones, like from StarPuppy here on YT, lol. I think she got some in her eyes or something before, and yeah... horrid!! I have an insane amount of stuff in my save for later that I've either looked into, need to look into but I'm interested in, or things that I'm definitely going to try and just need to be reminded to do so. 😅
Suggestions: Naptural85 has a Gelatin video you can use to strengthen the hair And Greenbeauty has her own protein treatment called Real Protein that you add to your conditioner to have a balance conditioner.
Being low porosity, my natural hair hates PROTEIN. I used PROTEIN when chemically straightening. Use a moisturizing shampoo and a conditioner & leave-in. No oils or butters. No gels. Get a trim😢
Could be age & hormone related too 🤷🏽♀️💆🏾♀️
Sorry that you are experiencing this issue. I definitely understand. Have you found a stylist to work with in conjunction with the Dermatologist.
Love your content. Have you researched fenugreek or amla?
Thank you! I used to take fenugreek awhile back but I'm thinking about trying it again... maybe even topically. There's a lot of buzz about it being awesome for hair growth and strength. I haven't looked into amla before though
You need to clarify with sulfate shampoo use something like Prell or Pantene volume shampoo
Have you tried supplementing with MSM? Also have you tried using Ayurvedic products? Calcium Bentonite clay with apple cider vinegar does wonders for my 4C hair
I used to love msm! It was one of my favorite supplements that I shared here on YT. I took it for a long time (for joints) and stopped at one point to see if it was causing hair issues... because apparently, data didn't study the use of it past 3 months or something, and some people experience shedding, etc. The last time I tried using it ( a couple years ago), it was causing me heart palpitations, so I stopped using the separate supplement. (It's still in my multivitamin, though.)
Someone mentioned here that she adds msm powder to water and uses it topically on her hair with great results. So I'd like to look into that..
Pretty much any conditioner with hydrolyzed protein close to the top of the ingredient list will help to restore the balance back into your hair. Some that I have used are Mielle Babasu and Mint, Briogeo Don't Despair Repair, Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Yogurt Hydrate and Repair, and TGIN RepaiRX to name a few.
what about joico balm??
@@ModelingTabiI've never used it. Do you like it?
@@1GoldenBreeze yes it’s really good. But I also decided to use it’s moisturizing shampoo which I think caused me moisture overload and my hair started breaking off. I also use grease on my hair and I know I should be using a clarifying shampoo to remove build up. I used their moisturizing shampoo thinking it was the same thing since it has sulfate listed in the ingredients. so I’m not sure what caused my hair loss
@@ModelingTabiWow, it seems odd that you would get moisture overload while also using a protein-deep conditioner. Is Joico Balm a protein DC? I hope you figure out what's going on.
@@1GoldenBreeze thank u! I hope I figure it out too. Joico has some protein and silicone. And maybe me using grease and not using a clarifying shampoo had anything to do with it🤷🏿♀️
Have you tried leaving your hair alone? Like …Wash Day Routine 2020!! | Only 2 Products | Type 4 Hair
Asia Char.
That’s what I do (4-6 twists pinned down) and throw a wig on for zoom meetings. I don’t bother with styling.
Edit: Also using acv on top of conditioner (I use only deep conditioner) then rinse out? Like… 3 PROVEN METHODS THAT ENHANCED MY NATURAL HAIR

Jump to strategy. The three parts of your hair needs different things. Roots needs shampoo and conditioner. Mid needs leave in conditioner (I use Mielle). Ends needs oil (he said oliplex, but I use Castor oil)
That’s what I do minus the wig. Just wash, deep condition, leave in and seal with my oil mix (castor, grapeseed, fenugreek, Amla, henna, tea tree, rosemary, peppermint and Aryan oil. Put it in twists or Bantu knots and leave it alone for two weeks. Eat clean, drink water, exercise daily, green smoothies/ juice and I take supplements too. Keep it simple
I wish I was able to leave her alone longer! Unfortunately, my scalp gets extremely irritated and can even get sores if I don't cleanse often 😒. For those who can go weeks without having to wash their hair...count your blessings lol!!
Have you tried green or even black tea rinses before or after you shampoo on wash days?
What about Rosemary oil? Rosemary oil vs minoxidil 2% for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia:
You might want to use some clarifying , and not deep conditioning conditioner I had the same thing happen
A protein treatment may help
Did the pumpkin oil make your hair grow
I'm not sure if it's helped stimulate growth anywhere other than my hairline perimeter yet... it's really hard to tell right now. But at least it's not falling out excessively at the moment. I think I'm going to have to add a few hair stimulating things in addition to the pumpkin oil in case I'm not seeing over all thickness because obviously if I still have a little to normal daily hair fall (like we all have naturally) and no regrowth, it's not going to be good 😔😬
I’m going through some stage of menopause myself and have noticed my hair thinning out somewhat. Could it be that you are in perimenopause?
I'm definitely in periomenopause 😮💨😑
There has to be a balance of protein deep
Mask. Sounds like you had an allergy with
Some ingredients.
Why you stop using grapeseed oil? Did it cause some kind of damage?
Grapeseed oil was one of my favorites! I still have some, lol. My hair again, though, has been doing ridiculous stuff these past few years, and things that once worked for me don't work as well now smh. I think last time I tried using it in my shampoo in the fall, it made my scalp itch. I may have to switch brands. I've always used Pompiean, but I may need to go organic now smh.
Hello
What up!
No oils no butter on the hair or scalp Keep the scalp clean and don't let your hair air dry.
The oils and butters are in the leave in
Green Beauty Real Protein Treatment
i have to cut it.. just cut it 😔
Go to the hair club.
Have you watched the blowout professor?
I've seen a few of his videos before 🤗
It's been a while since I visited your channel ( life, family). I recall you discussing this before and doing the big chop. As someone mentioned, GreenBeauty has a protein treatment that I used for a while. I also use Lanza Moi Moi hair masque monthly. Hoping for the best outcome for you.
