@AfricanHairGod thank yiu for the care you showed to my crown. All those who commented about having alopecia and the self consciousness know I too have that issue. Thank God I am able to cover my thinning spots. But if it came to a time it was widespread I would cut it off, hopefully I have a good shaped head.😂
Your hair is soooooooo beautiful! Gosh! How can you have such thick hair?
I trust you'll find a solution, soon.
I too have alopecia, and am trying to get the rest of my hair healthy..
Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. You don't have to accept Alopecia without a fight.
My stylist that does curly cuts blows the hair out to see what the ends look like and to shape it. She asks if you want to wash n go or a silk press after. She told me that you must blow the hair out to see what is going on because curly/kinky/coily hair hides all kinds of damage well. She has never been anti oils, butters, leave-ins, protein treatments, deep conditioner etc. My stylist was an apprentice to Dickey at the salon at Hair Rules. This woman has beautiful hair❤
I’m just marveling at how thick this woman’s hair is! She has balding and thinning all throughout, yet she still has a full, lush head of hair. It’s amazing. 😮
Great job as usual! The main thing people need to take from their "detox" is to shampoo the hair properly. There's a reason why virtually every hair product has some type of oil in it- our hair likes it!
I completely agree!
Yes, it’s deeper than actually just liking it. The structure of our hair includes oils and fats, so we need them to maintain the proper health of our hair. I actually formulate hair products and choose oils specifically designed with some of the properties in our hair such as ceramides.
It also probably helped that she didn’t perceive the tangling as “damage” and get scissor happy like some of us 😭
Great point!
Hello, I’m a guest in your house. And I want to say thank you for standing up for your client in the way you stated her hair situation. We need more black gentleman like yourself. Thank you king.
Thank you for being respectful of your client's alopecia. In Dec 2022 I was diagnosed with scaring alopecia, CCCA to be specific. I had never even heard of it but when I looked it up after my derm appt. it scared me and I freaked out. I didn't realize that there were stages of it and that mine had been caught in the very beginning of the first stage.
The one thing that I will say to everyone is if you are having problems with your scalp that seem unusual compared to how your scalp has always been, please do not try to find solutions on YT instead make an appointment with either your PCP if you need a referral or your dermatologist if you don't. It's difficult to treat something if you don't know what it is. If you have scarring alopecia it needs to be treated as soon as possible and not by info from a YT guru.
I am the client. I have Systemic Lupus and Cutaneous Lupus. The Cutaneous lupus caused my hair to fall out as well as the thining. Also, genetically my family has hair thining.
@@Kasmith70 I'm so sorry for the fight you are going through, and I pray that you have many symptom-free days. I also have SLE, and according to my derm, it is the cause of the CCCA that I have. When I was first diagnosed with SLE I had a flare-up of Discoid, but it was the only one. All my other flare-ups have been compilations of SLE.
If you talk to a trichologists or anyone who studies hair they will tell you that the hair is partially constructed of protein oil and water. So to say that you shouldn't use any oils or Butters in the care of your hair is very strange to me. What we should be doing shampooing and moisturizing our hair on a regular basis. And part of keeping our hair moisturizing between shampoos is to Hughes of oils and butters to hold in the water. I feel like this is been said in other videos, but I think the curly cut folks are interested in styling and not in hair care
Facccctttsss. This is crazy.
Would did you mean in place of “Hughes”?
@@clairedaniels1877 Looks like auto correct. The commenter probably meant "the use of"🙂.
They’re fine with oils and butters as long as it’s not in the first five ingredients of a product and as long as it’s not oil an heavy product.
*Not an oil heavy product
Any hairstylist that tells me not to use oils and butters on my type 3 hair I’m getting up and walking tf out …what is it with acting like we don’t know how to grow hair - we been growing maintaining hair with oils and butters forever lol
the thing is bgc started telling people that their long hair was unhealthy and that length doesn't equal health. and to an extent, that is true. it is much more true with straighter hair types tho. much less true with kinkier ones. because kinky hair needs a lot of gentle care, there is no way to grow long unhealthy type 4 hair. although you can definitely damage it after you grow it out though but that's usually caused by mechanical damage (not by using oils and butters lol). But during the process of growing it, in order for the ends to not be snapping and breaking off, it must be quite healthy. i saw some naturals on youtube with medium length (or long for some) hair, cutting off their hair after being introduced to bgc and/or kut it kinky stylists that convinced them they had long unhealthy hair and needed to cut it all off and start detoxing. it was wild to watch tbh. i hope more people start waking up to the scam that bgc is.
@@LethalLemonLime I realized the same thing about the bgc tbh - (not me thinking you meant bad girls club at first though 😂🤦🏾♀️) I used to watch so much content and then when the whole “no butters no grease no oils) shit started I was like 🥴 anywayyyss 🤧- our hair simply won’t grow if it’s not healthy and it shows when it’s unhealthy a lot more in curly/kinky /coily hair types because it’s much more brittle imo so yh I agree with everything you said 💯once I realized they were being commodified I lost the ability to listen because I noticed they were promoting 20step hair routines and I was triggered by what happened with the beauty community and the money motivated “advice” that swamped throughout - that and the fact every new product was a must have I was like dis tew much lol it’s a shame really cs I tend to find with our community the go-to is acting like bw/bc doesn’t know anything at all and are like simple it’s a weird undertone I can’t ignore - we were doing fine even when there weren’t all these products “for us” iykwim
I am dead after “it my house and you are guest here” 😂
I totally agree with that statement as some people forget their manners and think they can do or say whatever they want without consequences!
😂🙌🏽💯😎🎉Agreed!!!🤭
I’m staying a wash n go girl, and my hair is too fine for raw oils and butters but you presented the best case against curly cuts in a series of videos. I’m done with the cuts, they were robbing me of length for the sake of shape and high volume. I just want long healthy hair! My curly cut stylist was scheduling me for a cut every other month for 7 months….I didn’t get to retain any of my growth.
Yikes!
Wow
it should have been every 8-12 weeks for a trim..she was money hungry
Every other month dang. I do trims like every 3-4 months depending on how my ends feel and how bad the detangling starts to get
I want to be sooooo petty, cause I know that I warned people against much of what you said in this video, including people speaking in absolutes, and I got attacked. But anyways. Thank YOU for continuing to investigate and informing us of your findings. Shouts out to your client for her discernment too.
You know I'm always here for a classy yet petty read 😈
I like how you said ‘covered her compromised areas “ that was courteous and professional 🥰
Yep. I think you are right on the money. I think with the gels being introduced we don’t want an ol’ school afro anymore. The gels being drying could be a problem in the long run.
Man, I wish you were in my area. Whole fam would be going to see you. No bells, no whistles, no nonsense. Love your approach to natural hair.
I LOVE the simplicity of his hair care. My entire family would book him.
Why would anybody believe that it even makes good sense to not lubricate your hair strands, not wear a bonnet at night, *and* not deep condition your hair? Why wouldn't your hair dry out, split, and break after that type of neglect?
There’s a group of seasoned professionals that don’t believe in oiling hair… I stopped piling my hair because my hairdresser at the time advised against. She was a black seasoned professional with over over 20 years experience. Very educated and also did editorial and runway
@@altia30 everything isn't for every individual's situation--if not piling your hair was best for you, that's fine--but that's not the same as saying *everybody* needs to not do everything I just listed. Years of experience means nothing to me if you're handing out bad advice, which anybody can do, because people are still just people, and someone *can* have twenty years of experience being bad at what they do.
I hate the way my hair looks and feels with oils, but you're gonna have to pry the Aunt Jackie's thirst Quench from my cold dead hands before I give up on leave in conditioner. And I'm mainly a wash n go girl so it's not like I'm a stranger to gel.
@shantiabdumumin7851 right! It sounds very damaging to the hair. I know it would certainly damage my hair if I didn't oil it, sleep with a bonnet, or deep condition.
I wonder do they tell their clients this just so they can keep them continuously coming back to the shop for another cut.
What’s crazy is that I get the easiest slip when shampooing my hair. I actually like to detangle with shampoo too. It helps prep the cuticle to receive the conditioner
Me too
What shampoo do you use if you don’t mind me asking? I have such trouble with shampoo
Me too! My hair literally loves shampoo sooooo much!
@@cjlune3923Try design essentials Honey Crème Shampoo! Better detangler than most conditioners. It’s a hidden gem but has a cult following ❤
@@vmlksm9thank you I will check that out 😀
If the botanical gel has a humectant for its moisturizing property but you live in a dry climate you aren’t getting anything.
Or spend your day in an air conditioning environment there is no humidity to pull.
It isn't good in really humid environment either, which is where I live. It makes your hair insanely frizzy because there's TOO MUCH moisture in the air. Honestly I don't think glycerin is good at all and we just need oils and it can take years to change, it's not gonna change with one wash with one product
I love the defense you have for your client. You really have a passion for your profession, and I'm glad you stand on all ten toes for what you do. Keep up the excellent work.
I got my 2nd straight cut after getting curly cuts for a year! This was the first time seeing my stylist in person after her examining my hair blew this whole curly cut situation! I expressed to her how grateful I was because of her insight, she has helped many women to save their hair!
So she again made it clear that some practices that the group is encouraging ones to make with regards to their hair is not healthy! She stated she wasn’t surprised there were quite a bit of people having issues if this was the only cut they were getting in addition to not deep conditioning and using leave in!
Also your documentation has not fallen on deaf ears because one of the ladies 1/2 of BGC has for some reason started using a leave as she commented yesterday in a live and sometimes pre poo!
So while 99% of us that drank the koolaide and omitted important things from our routine, most just needed to implement a clarifying shampoo!
Lesson learned, I am in the process of trimming a little more than an inch with every cut to grow a fresh head of hair!
The webbing has stopped and the Velcro ends has dissipated but I just want fresh hair!
Thank you again Narada for spreading the word, doing the hard work and helping so many to fix their hair!
I appreciate you so much, because so many looked on and said nothing but you stood up and did the work!
And I have used Curlmix recently and my experience was my hair feels like hair ‼️
That's wonderful thank you for the follow up! I'm happy to have helped ❤️😇💪🏾
@@AfrikanHairGod I have natural hair. Explain curly cutting me, please?
@@sueandrews2562 I suggest looking up a video that explains and demonstrates curly cuts. There are many different methods and approaches so there's no one way of doing them
I so love this comment! I second that thanks in a huge way. I never stopped doing my mainstays but I started learning what ingredients work (flaxseed gel) and which don't (coconut oil and other heavy oils and butters are too heavy for my hair). I totally felt that feeling like your hair feels like hair🥹 After years and years of 99c store gels, my hair felt like it had a constant film on top. One hair dresser out of the several I went to over the years, taught me that it was wax and that I would permanently damage my hair if I didn't stop using that crap. A white boy in Northern Cali! Thank you Darren!!!
@@AfrikanHairGod Found a few videos. Hair grease and oils are best for me, not to much gel. Thanks.
Narada, I love that you're not scissor happy. I had seen so many stylists cut ✂️ off the hair instead of giving it a trim.
Me too!!
Narada, why do so many stylists cut too much hair off?
@@Autumn938 I often state that many hair stylists don't really know how to analyze hair damage outside of looking at the surface level... Ex. Using a white cape just to see damage, cutting if the ends look bushy or just don't feel smooth, etc. To cut the way that I cut requires knowledge in properly assessing hair damage and they weren't taught that. Me assessing my clients hair the way that I was checking for split ends had my cosmetology instructor looking at me crazy asking what I was looking for.... I'm short they just don't know better so they just cut to make the hair "look" better instead of being better.
Guys I have an update regarding split ends and no oils and butters: please DO NOT use that method! I have been using no oils and butters(except for shampoo and conditioner) in my products and no leave in conditioner for 3 weeks at the behst of my dermatologists. upon examining my shed hair as well as some parts of my heair in the front, I noticed I had split ends! Mind you, I had a trim 2 months prior!
Do not use the no oils no butters method if you have type 4/ kinky coily hair and please at least use a leave in conditioner(with oils)! It is not designed for us at all.
Even white people with the healthiest hair use leave in conditioner/oils on the ends.
This is super interesting! I get curly cuts but my stylist's philosophy isn't necessarily cut and dry like most. She encourages me to deep condition, to use a bonnet or a satin scarf. I never liked raw oils and butters but when my hair is undefined I use a leave in conditioner and call it a day
Yes, I get curly cuts also for the past 1 & 1/2 yrs. I have continued to use it it my oils, deep condition every time I wash my hair 1X per week & use leave in conditioners under the gel. I always sleep with a bonnet on & so far, I haven’t had any problems. I also do at home protein treatments regularly.
Is a curly cut just cutting the hair while curly?
My thing is everyone with curly hair uses product. All races and textures. My hair grew nearly waist length when I did wash n gos. I used a leave in and coconut oil, gel and deep conditioners every two weeks. To cut, I would comb the hair while wet, manually stretch the damp hair section by section, and cut the ends while I had it stretched in my hand.
Wearing my hair in an Afro without a leave in and flaxseed based gel caused tangles and breakage. The frizzier hair looked better on me but it tangled more.
You are the best example of a great stylist. From your level of knowledge to the way you communicate with your clients and us without judgment, its all top tier.
Keep doing what you're doing ❤
Thank you so much. I hope to be an example for other stylists to model after 😊
Talk about the texturism!!! We paper bag testing ourselves STILL!
Very informative again 👏🏽 Maybe instead of BCG demonizing oils and butter a better approach would have been to show us how to incorporate them and cleanse afterwards properly.
Been watching you for years. Appreciate your honesty. I could not work a wash and go either. Been natural 12 years. Just do what makes sense. Mainly twist for me. I'm 66 years old. And when your hair doesn't like something it don't. I love the rebellion of natural hair. Never jump on band wagons. Always knew my hair needs oils and butters.
Im just here to be messy 😂 UPDATE: i dont know why people ever went no butters, no oils. I use water, oil, butters, and grease on the regular but sure to always clarify really well on wash day. No moisturizing shampoos whatsoever.
Stop being messy or I'm gonna throw this wide tooth comb at your forehead! 🤪
@@AfrikanHairGod 😂🤣
It’s not the oils and butter causing this. It’s lack of moisture.
They recommend no DC and no leave in
I did that method for 1 month and had a bunch of fairy knots on my ends. I went back to leave ins and oils. I find butters are to heavy for my fine hair.
I still can't believe that no butter, no oils was a whole thing . Like why would they even give that kind of advice?
I was diagnosed with alopecia areata in 2018 due to stress. I lost hair on both sides of my head and in the nape of my head. It was hard to deal with. Most of it has grown back but I still have a few spots I’m working on. I completely understand. Thank you for standing on business concerning your client. Comments about your hair can be so stressful outside of what’s already going on.❤
The flat twists were a great idea, her hair came out so romantic.
Thank you so much Narada for being a beautiful person and sharing your gifts with the world.
Thank you so much!!
Thank you sir! As a hairstylist for over 15 years, I have been saying this this for years!! I educate my clients this way and they get results when it comes to retaining moisture and less split ends. Be bless from Toronto, Canada.
So proud of you AHG! YOU broke the code!! I don’t do wash and goes because I didn’t want to wash and gel my hair twice a week. And my hair is always thrived with oils and butters. You are amazing, and I like how you only cut/trim what’s necessary. ♥️
Thank you!
I believe this man has a passion for women's hair and takes it personally when other's try to use us by misleading us and any other crooked things they try to do to us. I thank you so much. It's such a joy watching you take care of us when you're doing hair or talking and giving us knowledgeable information. 👏🏼😘😊
I love how detailed you are with trims.
Thank you!
I truly thank you for calling these curly cuts out, they are a scam.
Yes wash and go’s are not for me. It took awhile for me to come to that realization. It’s too much work and I’m too tenderheaded to care anymore. Plus my shrinkage is ridiculous lol so I stick with stretching my hair without heat 98% of the time. My hair grows the best that way 😊. And that no oils or butter thing always sounded so strange to me. Give me all the oils and grease. I recently fell in love with Dax Lanolin grease. I’ll never be without
I really appreciate how protective you are of your clients and I also want to add that her hair is beautiful.
Thank you so much!
20:02 , 20:47, 22:05 Whew! He out here preaching! Let the church say Amen!
I KNEW IT I KNEW USING OILS WOULD HELP
Your client has beautiful hair and you styled it beautifully.
Thank you so much!
I just fell in love with you for standing up for her you got a new subscriber here.
I’m a hairstylist and I just found your channel. I’m loving it loving it thank you for all the education that you giving. Thanks again. ❤
I love listening to you talk about this. My friend has been getting curly cuts for the last year. And I sent her your videos. We went thru and fixed her hair last week. And It looks so much healthier. Length has never been her biggest concern. She just wanted it to be healthy, so it wasn't too hard for her to get the cut she needed.
Thank you for being so informative.
aww thank you I'm glad it's been helpful!
Thank you so much for the videos on this topic! I’m a long time watcher (since your cello video days 😊) and appreciate the content you put out for free!
I’ve gotten three curly cuts the past two years and have been wondering why my hair is hard to detangle with some breakage in an area that never had it before (natural since '11). I believe you’ve figured it out. Luckily I go to a stylist who can also do bomb blow-out cuts/trims and isn’t “curly cuts only” (it was actually something I asked for and not something she pushed).
At my next appointment I’ll for sure be doing the blowout cuts and ask her to inspect my hair and take off what’s needed. I’ll also bring up your videos to her! She’s been in the game for a long time and appreciates the different perspectives and experiences from stylists. She may have other clients having the same issue.
😇🙏😊
Can you pleaseee go more in depth on the cautions of wash and gos? Thank you so much for all you do ❤️❤️❤️
She has beautiful hair. My mom had the same problem that she has with missing hair, and a hair stylist told my mom to use this gel that has Aloe Vera in it. When my mom used it for about two weeks, hair started to grow in the missing hair spots. Mom was happy that her hair was starting to grow. We believed that mom was losing hair because of the prescription drugs her doctor was prescribing. The aloe vera naturally stimulated the hair follicles to grow the hair. I hope this information can help anyone with this problem. peace
I didn’t even know what a curly cut was…I saw a couple of videos and it looked exactly like when my poodle had a cut at a petshop.
They give everyone the same tired haircut, tbh I don't understand the hype.
I’m weak asf 🤣😭
I mean, let's be real. The only reason why oils and butters could possibly dry your hair out is if you don't shampoo well and/or clarify enough. People need to understand that
1.silicones aren't the problem when it comes to build up, it's not washing thoroughly.
2. Many of the "all natural oils/butters" they love like castor oil and shea butter build up on the hair as badly as silicones and thus will need a stripping shampoo/ thorough cleanse( 2 lathers) to really remove.
Rant ( I’m so sorry)
Honestly, I initially believed the BGC methods were my answer. Their techniques led to noticeable improvements in softness, detangling, and moisture of my thick, mid-back length 4b/4c hair. The science behind it is informative in helpful, yet their approach fell short in terms of practicality and styling. I'm tired of all my life my natural hair being labeled "unmanageable at home" and the methods proposed to me for managing it by influencers & licensed stylist just further supporting that idea. the trends & methodologies that influencers & stylists are constantly coming up with seems to always negatively affect those with the tightest & kinkiest textures the most. I think many of us with the kinkiest textures are just looking for manageable, at-home care that doesn't compromise our texture, isn’t hidden behind protective styles, doesn’t cost a fortune or require excessive time. Similar to how looser textures when doing their hair at home they simply wash it in the shower, towel dry or towel dry, & go about their day.
BGC promised a universal solution, but it's not practical to sit under a hair dryer for 40+ minutes or invest in expensive products, especially when their method encourages rotating high-priced shampoos & conditioners and requires generous gel usage, all in the name of moisture retention. Hundreds of dollars worth of products already & they have to be used frequently & ofc replaced frequently because they suggest washing & styling every 7-10 days.
Their demonstration involving wash & go’s and curly cuts for kinkier textures involve an overall lengthy process that includes wash, detangling, application and drying sessions - after all of this, it's as time-consuming as salon visits or doing protective styles. Also, while BGC argues that mastering their technique can minimize salon visits, it seems to overlook the necessity of regular trims. Not a curly cut but a genuine TRIM.
I've yet to see a wash & go on a BGC certified stylist with my hair type that is flattering and doesn't look overly dry or simply short. It's disheartening to see how often the needs of kinkier textures are overlooked in each new trend or method proposed. Regardless of the skills or qualifications of the stylists or influencers promoting these methods, they often end up leaving those with the kinkiest textures frustrated and shelling out hundreds one way or another. It seems like those with hair types outside of type 3-4 have simpler routines, with less debate and conflict. It's getting tiring and I understand why people opt for lace wigs or relaxers. I believe solutions for kinky textures shouldn't be so costly, time-consuming, or reliant on frequent salon visits.
I know this seems like a rag on BGC but I’m specifically critiquing the black hair care industry as a whole constantly selling methods, appointments, information, solutions, and their “skills”to folks & kinky hair types flocking to them looking for solutions & we’re always left with the short end of the stick & seem to always end up back at square one. I know this is largely due to the texturism issues deeply embedded into black hair care as a whole & the way the kinkiest textures are treated & viewed but that’s a conversation for another day.
👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
I follow some of the naturals from France because they tend to have the tight texture and none are pushing for defining the curl. It's more about growing hair and styling it big.
@@anneel8115tu suis Univhairsoleil ? Pour le coup elle utilise de l'huile et ses cheveux sont bien mieux que BGC

Oh yeah. You did that! You had beautiful hair to work with. I see why client had a big smile at the end. Thanks for sharing.😊
Thank you so much 🤗
Job well done 👏👏👏. Her hair looks so healthy. You’re a gem when it comes to maintaining/taking care of our natural hair. You are appreciated. Tfs.
Such a soothing video. You're an artist!
Thank you and no I'm just a guy that loves natural hair 😉
@AfrikanHairGod You're so humble...you are definitely a hair artist and have blessed hands. And I love how you protect your clients ❤️
It took me listening to you to realize that I don’t have a defined curl pattern and that’s okay 👌🏿
It's because everyone pushes the propaganda that there's something wrong with your hair that you need a stylist or product to fix. I preach against that type of rhetoric and accept hair for it is
I love your insights. It was comforting to hear you confirm that wash n gos are not for everyone. I think that may be my reality and I feel totally validated, thanks!
Interesting segment, the conversation you had with your client helped us to realize that we must find out the hair products that are best for our own individual hair. Products are not a one size fits all. Your interaction with her was very professional and helped us to learn a lot. Thank you. You did a great job on her hair! It looks beautiful and healthy.
Thank you for opening the conversation about wash and gos are not for everyone. ❤
I suffer from alopecia also and have been terrified to let anyone cut my hair because of it. I wish that I lived close enough to get an appointment with you 😢
Me too!
I have never had a Curly Cut. With BGC, you have to take what you need and leave what you don't. I have benefitted from BGC because, before them, I never had a wash and go that I liked. However, I have never given up deep conditioning, which I do weekly, and use a leave-in when I do my twist outs. I don't use raw butters because my hair is very fine and most butters simply weigh it down. In the winter, I don't do wash and goes and use a light oil when I put my hair in twists. We have to evaluate what works for us and stick to it.
Yeah I think what BGC is missing is that everyone hair is different. So, their method isn’t going to work on everyone hair, but they make it seem like it will. It’s kind of weird that they told people to not use leave ins and to stop deep conditioning
@@Neesha242 You are right. However, people also need to exercise common sense. I tried doing a twist out, just using foam, as they suggest. I didn't like it, so I returned to using a leave-in. They say we don't need to deep-condition every week. I tried that, but didn't like how my hair felt, so I went back to using a deep conditioner immediately.
Mr. AHG I really want to appreciate your care and attention to this issue.
I originally adopted the BGC method and I read the Wash Your D* Hair Guide like 3 years ago. And in the book, there is a strong emphasis on lifestyle. There is also an emphasis on hydrating the hair. The only absolute I can recall is to actually shampoo your hair clean. Everything else was based on your hair's preference and your personal lifestyle. I believe that the messaging has been diluted and simplified for social media which is a detriment in my opinion. My haircare has been incredibly simple and easy since learning from BGC and I am also grateful that my hairstylist is a learned stylist from before the currect social media frenzy of no oils/butters.
Take care I adore you and your channel!
I never liked their styling results so I never gave up leave ins and i primarily style my hair in a wash and go, but the curly cuts created uneven ends that are just not worth dealing with. Back to blown out cuts for me.
I wish people would stop being so dogmatic about advice they get on the internet. The key take away i learned from BGC is the shampoo specrum, that knowledge transformed my hair.
Thank you for bringing light to this problem!
Their shampoo spectrum didn’t help me because they never incorporated sulfates. I need a sulfate shampoo for my fine hair.
@@clairedaniels1877 This is simply not true. They talk about the need for clarifying shampoo’s for for heavy styling products frequently. I don’t know what tell you.
@@ChiannaNycole It is true. Their clarifying shampoos that they suggest are weird. They don’t have sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfates in them. Malibu C is weak. I don’t like it. Kinky Curly Come Clean is not a clarifying shampoo either. It’s a moisturizing shampoo and acts like one too. A true clarifying shampoo has the king and queen of sulfates which I have named above. True sulfates.
@@clairedaniels1877that's actually false. Narada himself has talked at length about how clarifying " kinky curly come clean is" His other favorite clarifier is Fantasia naturals which i believe is sulfate free but very clarifying. You can have a very stripping nonsulfate shampoo and very moisturizing sulfate shampoo(Redken all soft shampoo, matrix biologe, etc). It all depends on the fomulation: how high in the list the surfactant is, the amount if different surfactants they mix in, and how much oils/ they mix into it.
No shame here. Alopecia is more common than many may know. I thought of how your sister has or had a little bald spot, but she has so much hair that one could hardly tell. This video was very informative. You'd be going off on your viewers 😂
3C/4A hair here. Did curly cuts for one year before the pandemic. Stylist sold me a set of inner sense products. Interestingly enough though, she was bashing oils and butters but then in some of the products I had it had oils and butters. That was a huge red flag for me. The inner sense products were ok at the beginning but I eventually stopped using them. Still get my hair curly cut because I always wear it curly but I primarily use murumuru butter, which is great honestly. lol I do need a trim though.
They say oils are fine as long as it’s formulated properly and not raw (I.e they’re against a tub of pure/raw coconut oil, bottle of rosemary oil) and they say to make sure that the oils in a hair product are not in the top five ingredients of a product/oil heavy; full of oils
I love this video. I don’t have a curl pattern at all. I did a big chop at age 30 and I barely had enough hair to pinch😂😂 My hair care routine was simple (oil, water, butters). Age 35 my hair was way past my bra strap. I wore it twisted and pinned 96% of the time. I only straightened it 1 time in 5 years. Then I loced and stayed loced for 9 years. Locs got way too long so I chopped. Now I’m right back where I started, short with no curl pattern with my simple routine and maintenance and I love it. Keep up the good work.
You spoke the gospel truth here!!!!! Is it really self love?! Is it really natural love!!!!!
Love your videos! could you please please do a video that touches on why wash and gos aren’t for everyone??
I appreciate the conversation on this and thank u for posting updates on this topic. Been following black girl curls for over a year and have modified my routine for what seems to work for me as well.
To Clarify I don’t think black girl curls said specifically no oils and butters tho also they do preach abt loving ur natural curl pattern from frizzy to very defined curls.
I appreciate bringing awareness to the issues and have found it to be helpful for both viewpoints
I have consistently gotten my haircut blow dried straight never did a curly cut cuz I didn’t think it was that serious but have found I need to get more frequent trims tho and I put this on detangling more frequently and wearing my hair out more instead of in a pony tails. I have also added back in using a detangled with my was and go it provides less gold but I’m good with that cuz I like my hair big and I will stay doing my deep conditioning treatments too on a scheduled basis 😁
That's great. I think it's important to get your wisdom from different places so that your understanding of the world isn't restricted and limited to one perspective
I figured this because I don’t have damage either and didn’t follow the hair detox thing. I stuck with my coconut oil, deep conditioners every 2 weeks, leave- in conditioner, and creams/butters for twists and twos outs.
They said raw oils and butters, not those formulated in products. My hair is day3 and feels oily just from my products. I used to use coconut oil and my hair felt oily yet dry.
Ossie, correct me if I’m wrong but don’t they also recommend we remove products that have certain oils within the first 5 ingredients? Thanks Sis! 💖
@@shelly.v.247only during the detox phase then just being mindful of the appropriate shampoo to remove whatever you applied is key.
@@ChiannaNycole . 👍
@@ChiannaNycole That’s totally not how I recall it at all. Maybe I missed something but I just asked my other friends who were also in SSC and they said we were never advised to add them back in. Hmmmm Idk 🤷🏽♀️
@@ChiannaNycole Also, the curated list followed that same methodology. I’m a little confused now…. Is what you’re saying newer?
Curl Mix! I have just about every flavor of their hair products. They smell so good.
I just came across this video. I absolutely love how he consults and tells the client how much he will be cutting off beforehand ❤ We need more natural stylists like him.
One thing i love about you is you fully embrace and embody what natural truly means. All this forcing our hair to do things it cant do naturally is toxic. It's twists over here all the way baby and a different styles for only special occasions 😘
Narada you are always on point. I have been natural for 12 years and have yet to just wear a fro. I know I am still not comfortable in my natural state with products that don’t help me manipulate the “curl”.
Keep doin and keep educating! ✊🏽❤
Her hair is beautiful. Blessings to her on her health. I wish you were in NJ so you can assess my hair. You do an amazing job. I definitely appreciate a stylist like you.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for taking the time to figure this out, this client knows herself and knows what works for her hair. Beautiful hair. Beautiful professional work
SPLENDID job, as always!! We LOVE having you back in the salon and thank you for always keeping it 100!
I love the way you care and cut her hair 😍
Yes we have to use what works for your hair 😊her hair is beautiful ❤
I just found your channel and absolutely love it. I believe part of the problem with the “Curly Cut” stylists is the practice of them doing their clients hair every 3months. I went to a stylist and she recommended I return in 3 months. I could come as often as I wanted, but she said it wasn’t necessary if I was comfortable doing my own wash-n-go style.
So, they’re not touching the clients hair for 3 months. I honestly feel for the initial price of $300 plus, there should be a more frequent routine follow-up for new clients…Just to asses the hair and address any concerns. Just my 2cents.
BTW, I would love to sit in your chair and have you bless my hair!!
Narada, as usual thank you so very much for all of your hard work regarding this issue!
So do you think using a leave-in and deep conditioner is enough if a person is a true wash and go wearer? Or does it just depend on each individual’s hair etc?
Also, this video solidified my feelings about curly cuts not being the best for the hair because of how it makes the hair behave. I bet your clients hair is going to feel amazing the next time she washes, detangles and styles it!
Lastly, I love how protective you are over your clients! It’s crazy that you have to put out a warning and let people know not to dare say anything rude. What type of person would even think to say anything mean about someone’s medical condition??!! 🤦🏽♀️
So that's really hard to answer because there are so many variables and factors at play here. I say just do what this lady did here and just listen to your hair. I think that using leave in and DC wouldn't hurt and would be nothing but beneficial. I think the biggest thing here to reversing and avoiding the severity of damage that ladies have been experiencing is focusing on moisture retention. If you can achieve that with just switching up products or using leave ins and DCs. I say go for it. I may look like misting your hair gently with water in the morning to refresh your wash n go. Or it may look like scrunching in a little oil into your hair after drying and setting your curls.
@@AfrikanHairGod Ohhh gotcha and makes sense! I’m going back to all the products that had my hair feeling moisturized and amazing then! Thank you again! ♥️💯
I knew it. And a lot of women will double down due to the sunk-cost fallacy. Like I said in your last video comments section this method of styling and haircare and is not suited for our hair. And the point you made about your hair does not have to be super defined after washing really hit home. Even with the elimination of raw oils and butters my hair never did that and I thought my hair wasn't "detoxed enough".
But I realized that's just my hair. My hair wants to be a big afro but I kept slapping all those gels on it. I love mousse wash-and-gos though.
I think everyone struggling needs to go in their comments and let their issues be known. If you go to their IG right now its all positives and questions. I think we should respectfully let them know how this method is affecting our hair.
I loved the finished look on your client. 🤎
Thank you!
The sad thing is they probably block any comments that are less than positive, they don’t seem very open to critique
As someone who has been doing this method for over 2 years here's some things I am tweaking:
Cleanse: Trying not to overcleanse whether that be not using all-purpose cleansers meant to be used every 7 to 10 days twice a week as I wash every 3 to 4 days because of normal scalp build up and an active lifestyle. I need to lean more on my moisturizing shampoo and perhaps even a cleansing conditioner like Curl Junkie Daily Fix. I think overcleansing in my experience can leave my hair too squeaky and in need of deep conditioning.
Condition: I haven't needed to deep condition in these two years and I think that largely has to do with using well-formulated conditioners. But if I overcleanse then I will need to deep condition because my hair cuticles will be too raised and will make styling harder to do in terms of smoothing and or defining my curls.
Style: I haven't had issues with the hooded drier. I also alternated using a diffuser as well either to set entirely or after sitting under the hooded drier for 15 to 20 minutes and finishing the roots with a diffuser.
Extra: I tried leave-ins here and there but I felt they all just made my hair not set properly or be frizzier and less defined and I didn't like my styling outcome with them in the mix except occasionally and a very small amount when doing a twist-out. Also I found after my second curly cut that I need blown-out cuts in-between my curly cuts and I was able to talk with my specific cut it kinky stylist and they were cool with me seeing them twice a year (every 6 months) and my ends have been fine. I did it because I also noticed the ends weren't great after a month, horrible after 2 months and hanging on after 3. If my ends are cut properly I should be able to go at most 4 months without needing another trim but to be on the safe side I cut every 3 months so 4 times a year me twice and then him twice and if we both do our jobs right there isn't much to cut.
I follow some of the things taught by Black Girl Curls. I've been washing my hair 2x to 1x a week for a 1.5 years now. I don't use raw oils or butters. I cut my own hair with shears blow dried (major violation according to them lol). I did the See Some Curls / Wash Your Damn Hair program. So I don't abide by it perfectly, but my hair is by far the healthiest it's ever been. It's thick root to tip. It's super soft even though I don't deep condition. It's very hydrated. Overall I'm happy with my hair.
I use a clarifying shampoo and Innersense Products. I also use Uncle Funky Daughter / I Create Hold and the Doux products to style. I never went to a curly stylist though. Recently I added some bond builders to the mix (mainly K18).
Did you get your hair properly assessed with a blowout and inspected for damage the way that I did in this video? If not it's a little disingenuous to say that it's healthy just because you say it is. They method as a whole isn't flawed but there are many things i think should be tweaked for improvement. I think that they are very knowledgeable on hair but may be closed off to outside criticism and feedback
@@AfrikanHairGod I definitely agree my comment is subjective. It isn't disingenuous though since I'm being honest about my practices. I definitely want to go to a stylist at least for a consultation though just to confirm I'm doing all the right things, and to get tips on what to do better. As for the entirety of my hair history, this is definitely the healthiest it's ever been to my knowledge. I'm sure there's room for improvement though. As for Black Girl Curls, honestly, I don't follow them on IG anymore because I found them to be very condescending and closed off, so I agree with your critique. However, I appreciate the knowledge I gained from them. I definitely hope to gain some knowledge from you as well! :)
I started doing research and examining my hair more after this video. I'll take back what I said. Even though my fine hair is the healthiest it's ever been (thick ends, soft hair, less breakage), it still has some issues: split ends and not retaining length. I dust it monthly to keep the split ends at bay, but I really shouldn't have to trim or dust it monthly and see so many split ends. I'm definitely going to see a stylist. I'm also going to reincorporate leave-in conditioners, deep conditioners and light oils on my ends to see if that helps the issue.
I could have not come back and said this after I did my research, but that would definitely be disingenuous. Thank you for highlighting these issues!
@@cassandredavilmar7960 I really do appreciate for being forthcoming and honest...and not disingenuous 😅
I know that my delivery may be much for some to handle but I promise that it comes at no malice or ill intent. ❤️
Although it was a bit harsh, I'm glad you addressed the way people comment👍🏿😊🙏🏿... People can be harsh, so you had to address it in a harsh way.
"No, we don't need your opinion!" Lol!
Her hair is beautiful!
Oils and butters are what people have been using for centuries for healthy, manageable hair for almost all races. Many Native Americans used lard or fatty grease as an emollient for their hair and look how long and silky their hair was. Indians have always incorporated oils in their daily routine and look how long and silky their hair is. Many African tribes used emollients to grow long, strong hair. Sure genetics play a part but when they don’t follow their traditional routine, you can see the difference in hair length, density and health. Using emollients is like using a protective style but on each strand of hair.
I just never understood how stylists came to the conclusion that oils and conditioning is bad for hair. Sounds ridiculous. Beautiful hair from this client, wow
It seems like curly cuts are good for shaping after you have cut properly for split ends. But whateva🤷🏿♀️. I'm loc'd. If I had found this channel sooner, i may have stuck with loose natural for more than 5 months. I did crochet braids for 2.5 years, loose natural for 5 months, and then loc'd. I'm extremely happy, but i send loose naturals here.
It’s likely the dryness from the no deep conditioner/leave-in/butter/oil nonsense. Vidal Sassoon was never for us 🙊
My hair would feel like a tumble weed if I did that no butter and oils mess.
I truly appreciate how you explained what you were going to be doing to her hair before you began trimming it 🙌🏾
I always enjoy these videos because they remind me how diverse our hair is. I just loc'd my hair again but butters and oils are what kept my wash and go from frizzing. Well i guess it's not a wash and go if you don't wash it. What i mean to say is, I'd spritz my hair with water and rub in butter and it was always enough to define my curls
Your wisdom and experience are so much appreciated, Dr. ❤️
I like what you said about not every head of hair is the same and what works for you may not work for someone else. Because that whole no oils no butters thing doesn't work for me. And as for curly cuts, I know they can work if you are able to smooth the hair out between your fingers just like with straight hair. But it depends on the type of curls or coils you have. Just cutting hair with no guide is always risky. And that is basically what curly cuts sounds and look like. Straightened hair cuts are always better.
I feel so seen. Like I tried the no oils, no butters, no leave in. I tried the whole wash and go routine. Its too much time and money. My hair retained little to no moisture. I had to keep up with the routine every 2 or 3 days.
I have high density hair that's hard for me to manage with wash and gos. When my hair was armpit length, they kept telling me it was totally possible to do a wash and go under two hours. While I learned some better detangling techniques, which cut down a lot of my wash time. The dry time on the other hand was actual hell. It's just not sustainable for me.
They did recommend a hooded drier too. Though with thick hair it may still be tough...I guess people with long thick hair should just do twist outs. You can keep the twists in for days even if it's not dry yet as a style.
@@iateyursandwiches oh, definitely. I couldn't afford a standing hooded dryer, just the tabletop. I have little room in my home so I wasn't able to really use it often at all. The times I did use it, it would only get my roots. I had to use a diffuser for the ends. I couldn't be under the dryer for an hour on high heat. Got hot and worried about my roots getting fried.
I agree about twists being better for longer hair on a regular basis. Wash and gos are possible on long hair but not sustainable imo.
I feel like a "wash and go" should be named something else cuz it's really not a "wash n go". When I first heard of the name, I thought it was a literal wash and go like I'd been doing. Washing, putting a product to keep my hair moisturized and go. And I honestly thought I was tripping when I was thinking "well isn't that just another form of texturism" as it's not your hair in it's natural state but weight down. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Thanks for posting this video of this woman and her beautiful hair. I also have an issue with alopecia (I'm under the care of an African American female dermatologist who specializes in hair loss).
Sometimes I get so frustrated with the alopecia (it's not scaring, but the loss comes and goes) that I forget to be thankful for the healthy hair that I still have. I can cover my area hair so it's not so noticeable.
I've never had a CGC. My focus has been keeping my hair clean and moisturized so I do use oils and butters. It's hit or miss with grease since i have to not aggravate my scalp and use my prescribed medications. I also work on drinking more water, eating healthier, exercising and keeping stress at a minimum level.
Keep your content coming. I love it!
I love the way you work and respect your client's. I became a natural after my hair fell out from over processing with a relaxer. It took me a long time to get a wash and go to not look like an afro and after using gels I decided I prefer twist out styles. My hair is very dry and has always been this way, so I don't wash my hair weekly. I use a lot of grease, oilsands butters and my hair is really growing and I love wearing my hair in natural hair styles although it does dry out in the summer quite quickly.
Keep up the good work, stay blessed
👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
I learnt a lot about hydration from no oils/butters and my hair does have a definition. But I don’t use gels every week and rather would let the coils do what they want over the week. I enjoy my hair.
Watching you section her hair makes me want to do my hair.😢❤
I am so happy you speaking about this I do not do wash and gos on my hair because it tangle my hair and makes it more dry I love protective hair styles with butter and oil and I don’t care about define I care about the health of my hair this is a great subject
Thank you for watching
Thank you for your honesty, I like you am not one to play along to get along, your Chanel has helped me to actually get moisture to my dry wash n go❤
I'm so glad!
