      The problem with thick hair is you have to use a whole lot of product.

    Personally, I prefer the shingling method for my hair... yes, it's time consuming but it's so worth it in my opinion.

    I just love comparison videos and this was very educational. One of the most helpful videos I have seen in the natural hair community lately. So many people just keep doing the same stuff over and over.

    the shingling method is too time consuming for me. I usually do the raking method.

    🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄 Ashley!! You just saved my sanity. When I first big chopped 5 years ago I realize after seeing your video that I was SHINGLING my hair and I loved how fluffy and defined my 2nd & 3rd day hair was. Now that it's longer I'm realizing I RAKE it!! That would be okay for my lose curls in the front that comes out wavy but in the back it looks like an AFRO! I believe it's because it longer, it's 3c unlike my front 2A and RAKING it makes it less Defined!!😲 OMG!!! I'm going home tonight to SHINGLE my hair and see what happens. Thank you so much for doing this comparison! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🦄🦄🦄🦄❤️❤️❤️ Squeeze Mavie for me! I Love That Baby🤗🤗🤗

    Wow, I’ve mostly use the Raking Method when styling my hair in a wash n go. Once my hair dries, I have a lot of volume and frizz. On my next wash n go I’m going to try the Shingling Method. Thank you for sharing!

  • @daeyoung4513

    • @PnkSamurai00
      @PnkSamurai00 Před 6 lety +1

      esml my recommendation is drink water and make sure your hair is moisturized at night braid it.
      Remember what you braid gets longer. you dont have to braid it but I find my hair looks nice when I do. When you go to sleep put a satin scarf or cap this will allow the hair to drink up all of the moisture you put on it instead of it just air drying or what gets on the pillow; which wouldn't be good because then the hair didnt get what it needed completely.
      This should revive your hair.
      This is what I do and my hair is healthier because of it and longer
      Goodluck to you.

    Your hair is beautiful. I can definitely see the difference between the two methods. I like the way the shingling came out. I think the shingling would last longer and the raking would probably frizz quicker and the curls would get lost. Thank you. I will have to try the shingling method. Thank you for the video. Loved your makeup.

    How are you able to shingle your hair so quickly? Right now it takes me 1.5 hours! Do you think it's better to take larger sections?

    • @LnP2day
      @LnP2day Před 7 lety +15

      Ashley Jumease I kinda do both & section my Type-4 hair n2 4 sections. Each area takes abt 5-6 min. After I rake, I go back thru & shingle. W-n-g are all I ever do so I've gotten really good at it. used to take an hour.

    • @ashleyjumease9635

    • @curlynella1011
      @curlynella1011 Před 3 lety +3

      I notice the more workable the gel is and depending on the slip of the gel it can speed up time. Like wet like is too stiff and I have to keep spraying water to make it more workable and even break off hair shingling 😫 I been gave up on that gel.

    I do a combination of shingling and raking. But I would really love to take the time and shingle the whole way through and see how the results are. I also have never used eco gel because I always thought it was too drying, but I would like to try that as well. I also liked the step at the end, where you break the gel-cast with the serum. I have never done that, so I'd like to try that too 🤗 Thanks for sharing!
