Hey guys! Tutorial on this is out now! Hopefully it’ll show you abit better 🤍🤍🤍
czcams.com/video/CCIHsA7SV5Y/video.html
Thanks 🤍
Okay. I have THE MOST hig porosity hair. I tried this method and OMGeeeeeeee!!!!!! The difference in my hair wash experience, instant ease and slip, and SHIIIIINNNEE from the ACV! Amazing. I tried this and it's the TRUTH! Thank you so much Nadine!
Wow thank you for this! So glad it helped you & yesss to the shine and slip ACV is that gworlllll! Xxxxx
I can't wait to try. My hair is super high porosity too; drinks moisturizers and conditioners daily. From the shower to the mirror on wash day, and it's already starting to dry 😒
how about a smell??
@gimme waves How did it work for you with outside weather? I also have extreme high porosity, I can never wear my hair out if there is any kind of moisture in the air 😢 (indoors and outdoors)
@@donnachi4773same
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. I tried the deep conditioning with the AVC rinse on top method, and all I can say is WOW. My curls were more defined throughout the strand, and my hair was so soft, shiny and manageable. Also my natural hair color just looked so much richer if that makes any sense.
I'm currently a flat twist girl, but with the way my hair was looking after washing it, I'm finally ready to try wash and gos. I've been natural over 10 years and haven't successfully completed one. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Wow glad it helped so much yess if I want my wash n go to pop ACV first is a must for me too 😭 the more you use it the better it gets as well! & omg I totally get what you mean about the hair colour being richer!! I never knew how to explain it but my hair looked more black. Thank you so much for this comment I love hearing feedback 🤍🤍🤍
I am going to go back to doing ACV amd aloe water rinses I used to do it and my hair loved it so much and I used to do cold water rinses.
I started spraying my roots with ACV/water mix along with my pre poo, to calm my scalp and break up any build up. Either as a final rinse or sprayed into my deep conditioner….game changer. My hair still feels clean but it doesn’t feel as stripped as it usually does i think it’s bc it drops the ph of the shampoo a bit. As a final step in my routine my hair just feels smoother and sleeker. I’m excited to see what doing this over the course of the year does to my hair.
Same - I spritz it on 15-20 mins before shampoo and as a final rinse after deep condish; I'll never do without this step. My hair feels so soft, is more manageable for styling and overall smoother and shinier. I honestly think it's due to incorporating ACV/water
I found that plant gels (mushroom root, aloe vera etc..) also have the same effect of moisture retention as well. Will incorporate your method as well.
Yes! Aloe Vera has an acidic PH etc so it works well for that too xxx
I mix aloe gel with black castor oil....life changing.
@@mitchellskosana6289 Thank you so much for the tip!
Yea botanical gels are really good for moisture fr
@@mitchellskosana6289where do u get the aloe Vera gel ?
So so happy I found your channel! These low porosity gurus were getting me....thank you!
Aww thank you! Glad I could help gorl and there’s more of that to come 🤍💃🏾
It's cool how this video came after i watched curly chemistry's video yesterday. Tonya said that adding ACV on top of her DC has been such a game changer. I can't wait to try it. Thank you for your content 💕
I did it recently….truly a game changer. It’s like magic, it makes any conditioner have slip.
I had an old twisting butter i never use but had good ingredients, i put it in my hair and sprayed ACV on top, it even made that a slippery pre poo.
So you mix both the DC and the ACV and let it stay on for how long?
@@dominiquereece8545 so what I personally do is dilute some acv in water and put it in a spray bottle. I apply my DC (preferably one that smells really good to help with the acv smell) and spray the solution onto my hair. You'll notice it makes the conditioner foam-like. Almost like shampoo. The slip it great! I do it almost every wash now. Acv rinses and using hair grease again have been positive for my hair
this makes so much sense bc when i use bentonite clay with ACV my hair is the most moisturized and bouncy ever!
Bentonite clay has been a game changer
I used to use acv rinses regularly and now looking back this is probably one of the main things I need to add back. I've always been a low maintenance girl and I have been analyzing what changes started causing me to get way more breakage and I can definitely say I used to retain moisture more and you've helped me find ways to retain length too.
That’s so good! I’m glad it’s helped ACV changed the game for me too fr!xx
Words cant describe how thankful I am for your videos. Bout to level up forsure 💪💪💪
Thank you 🥹🥹🤍🤍
I’ve used acv for years to fix my scalp problems but I never knew about the cuticle sealing. Can’t wait to try it on top my deep conditioner!
Safflower oil is a great sealer. It also has ceramides. Grapeseed isn’t bad either. Coconut oil 🥥 is better for pre pooing
I am so glad that I now know I have high porosity hair. The low porosity hair girls and their methods caused a lot of damage to my hair. These methods are methods I used to do when I first went natural.
I’m glad it helped!🤍
I'm a brown girl with super frizzy hair and the apple cider vinegar tip is GOLD!!!!!!! Thank you so much Nadine
I’m glad thanks girl!🤍🤍
@@naturalnadinee also u are stunning
@@naturalnadineedo I need to rinse my hair with acv, while the deep conditioner is on my hair. Should I cover it with a plastic cap?
That's good that your hair can take ACV rinses on wash days. Some people's hair can't. My cousin did them once a week as well & her long pretty hair was long, stringy, ate out, & unhealthy & had to be cut many inches within one year. That acid was eating her cuticle, shaft, & all of her hair out over time! That was a few years ago & without using the ACV so often (2x in 3 years) her hair is back to being healthy & long. I guess her hair couldn't thrive with it as often as your hair can.
Was the acv diluted?
Acv diluted or not is an acid. It will eat through anything including hair. I would not use that, instead use products with low ph
@@brittanymilgan I agree with you 100%
@@brittanymilganbut the acidity changes when diluted
@@brittanymilgan if you’re not diluting it and putting it on your hair once a week of course it’s going to eat through your hair. You’re using too much too frequently.
Definitely trying out the apple cider tip for the next wash day.
Wash, tone, and deep condition last regular condition. Thanks makes sense because that's how I take care of my skin. Thank you 🙂
Yep the toning step makes all the difference!🤍
@@naturalnadinee Yes gurl, Curls popping and edges smooth. Thank you so much for studying chemicals. You earned an A+ 🙂
So professional and informative! Thank you.
I’ve been toning my hair for years without even realizing it! I always use ACV before using gel no leave in.
Love that! Me too I’ve been doing it for a while without understanding why it works 🤣
i have a problem with it smelling when it gets wet or when i sweat. when it is dry , there is no smell
@@lalabell2 I’ve never had that problem before. 🥴
@@tresboujay i diluted it down very low too. maybe i can smell it but others cant .
@@lalabell2 Oh wow so sorry about that. Once I rinse it out I never smell anything.
I have few questions for you, do you use clay mask? And if yes how often?
Also would this steps be right?
1.Infuse water in your hair
2. Deep conditioner
3. ACD rinse
4. Wash it out in cold water with conditioner to close the hair follicles
Nope I don’t use the clay mask, & yes thosee steps are correct although I don’t really cold rinse my hair xx
People, do what works for you!
We're trying to figure out how
@@Unknown-kh7gvExactly
LOC 😊
😂
I was really confused by this comment. 😂
Sis, we’re trying, I promise 😅😅
Will definetly adding apple cider rinses to my regimen
Thank you so much for this video and the one on why black people don't have black hair, really informative videos.
How would you recommend we incorporate protein into our routine? "High porosity hair needs protein" is a common notion in the black hair community
It’s very common I will do a video on this, but the bottom line is all hair needs lots of protein, our hair is 90%+ protein. Also protein “overload” is not something to fear and being honest it’s not technically possible.
@@naturalnadinee when you do eventually do this, could you please explain why protein overload is not a thing
Can you show us a detailed wash day with this step?
Yes sure! I think it’s easier than how I explained it to be honest xx
I do shampoo and then Deep Condition. I don't use regular conditioner. I like to use Aloe Vera juice with water as my toner.
SO happy i found your channel. Ive had my hair in ttiny braids for a two years. ( dont worrry i washed my natural hair😂😂) but now i know that my hair is High Prosperity ❤❤❤i shall try the acv after deep conditioning it ...❤❤❤❤
I’m so excited for your channel! This is fantastic! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! I’m so glad the science based stuff is getting love 🤍🤍
Will this also help stop the ends of high porosity hair from tangling often? My daughter’s hair is high porosity. Before I’m done moisturising her entire head, it’s already drying out and even detangled and moisturised ends are tangled again.
excited to try this! so with the ACV closing the cuticles does this mean that when i apply products after i have finished washing my hair that they wont absorb into my hair because my cuticles are now closed?
Thank you. I understood that
You helped me so much because I was putting blue magic directly on my scalp lol and I was wondering why my hair was so fucking itchy and had hella dandruff thanks I’ll give the apple cinder vinegar a try 💖
Watching this video while deep conditioning my hair now , welp let me add the ACV to it thanks 😊
Yass we love to see it and hope it helps! Xxx
Hey Nadine :) I love your channel because its coming from an educated perspective. may you please do a video on what you should do with relaxed hair to retain moisture and which products are best.
Heyy! Thank you! && yess I can do, it’s been a while since I had relaxed hair myself but I will do my research xxx
@@naturalnadinee yes please! a video on this is much needed
Great video but question. So if apple cider vinegar closes cuticles and returns normal pH, how will styling products work if they just sit on the hair strand?
The product will still absorb you just won’t need as much. If product is sitting on the strand you have applied too much x
@@naturalnadinee Okay but how will it get absorbed if the cuticles are closed?
@@dokuaasiedu9766 a sealed cuticle still has space to allow moisture to flow through😌 products are formulated to be able to penetrate hair regardless
@@naturalnadinee Ah I see. Thanks for responding.
Cool steam vapor is good for high porosity. I had a tool that I bought from china a long time ago and I’d use about once a month. It stopped working and I tried face misters and they didn’t work as well. If you can try it, it’s pretty smoothing but it’s hard to perform…since pretty no one has products for high porosity hair. Just so annoying!
cool steam??? im intrigued! let me look it up xx
I do keratin treatment and as grown and no shedding no breakages and its super soft
Love that! Which keratin treatment? & also do you ever straighten your hair?xx
hey girl! thanks for this video! I subscribed and will def be trying this method out! 🙂
Thanks for this! I used to do this without knowing what I was doing but I did it with my shampoo and I noticed a difference in my scalp I had forgotten about this
Yes! I feel like ACV has so many places in our hair routine glad you enjoyed 🤍🤍
I appreciate you so much for sharing. My hair is always dry one day after wash day and I wasn't sure why. I'm going to try toning my hair.
Do you deep condition with heat while the acv is sitting on top of the hair? Or do you deep condition with heat first then apply acv to the conditioner before rinsing it out?
I’ve done both and haven’t seen a difference 😅 lately I’ve been apply ACV after the heat because heat opens the hair cuticle but I can’t say I’ve seen anything different xx
@@naturalnadinee Oh ok thanks :)
never heard of a hair toner, great tip. def gonna try it next wash day. i think (and hope) I'm hipo bc i keep buying hipo products bc i think i am bc my hair sank straight to the bottom on the strand test. buttt. ya i was using acv at one point WITH my shampoo (clarifying) which is for lopo and i don't think that worked for my hair... however, after using heat w DC and aloe vera in my routine (hipo loves humectants) i saw a major difference in how moisturized my hair was. now this is something else great to add to my routine. i will def come back at lyk if it worked, thank you
Crazy, i started ACV washing because i had THE WORST time getting shampoo out. I figured it couldnt hurt and would neutralize it so im covered either way. Been working for me 🤷🏾♀️.
Greattt video, I have a question. Do you mean wash, deep conditioning the hair, spray the apple cider vinegar on top of the deepconditioner? Or do you mean something else? Can you please help me.. thank you Dear ♥️
Yes spraying on top of the deep conditioner I’ve found it helps to seal the conditioner in & rinse
Another thing I do is leave a little of the conditioner in your hair and that can be your leave in! 🤍🤍🤍
Any thoughts on hard water or hard water build up?
Use chelating shampoo once a month. Check for EDTA in the ingredients.
Thank you for this video. Must i use it when applying my deep conditioner and then rinse later or can i use ACV as a hair rinse? And should i use them when i apply protein treatment?
You can use it as a hair rinse! (Not as a shampoo alternative) which is how I used to use it but I found sealing my cuticle before adding moisture in stopped my DC from penetrating enough which is why I started applying after my DC xxx
I know this video was made 2years ago but I do have a question.
Do you have to wash your hair in cold water or Luke warm water?
Hmmmm very informative 👏
Great video. QUESTION: what do you think of clove water/ oil for hair growth?? Any thoughts??
I haven’t researched enough to know 😭 I’ll get onto it and come back to you xxx
Im a male but ima subscribe to you cause this helped me out a lot
Everybody’s welcome thank you🤍🤍
How much Apple Cider Vinegar and water ratio do you suggest we use to lower the Ph level? I hear so many different ratios. 1 part vinegar to 6 parts water one chemist told me. I have heard 1 teaspoon to 2 cups of water from another chemist. What do you suggest? These other chemists are still saying we have low porosity hair. I would like to know your suggestion if you don't mind. I am trying to get my hair right.
I personally use a 1:3 ratio. You could start with 1:4 I honestly think you can work the ratio up as your hair starts to get used to it that’s what I’ve done, xxx
Hello, so I need to use ACV after shampooing my hair and before deep conditioner or after deep conditioner and on top of it? Thank u
I would start by using it after shampoo, I have changed my routine slightly from this! I now apply ACV on top of my deep conditioner xxx
I use bentonite clay mixed with ACV to cleanse my hair once a month than add protein treatment . Co wash once a week than deep condition. Do you think adding the ACV once a week be too much?
All the methods for low porosity hair works for mine….The high porosity methods my hair hatessssss my mother is Indian trini my dad is Afro trini and my hair looks more like type 3c/4a my mom never knew how to care for my hair but I just discovered the low porosity stuff and now I know what works
I got my hair steamed and pressed and it was the first time I got heat damage
I don’t co wash either . I don’t understand the point 😂 I also use my conditioner after I deep condition. I’ve seen a real change in moisture retention.
Can I put a cap on my head and sit under the dryer with apple cider vinegar with the deep conditioner?
yes but i would recommend ACV after the dryer stage, because ACV seals the cuticle and Heat opens the cuticle therefore would be counterproductive but would still work!xx
I will give these tips a try, thank you
You’re welcome! Thank you!🤍🤍
I'm really confused now on porosity.
Don’t be! I would honestly say to watch the part 2 video on porosity it’s not as simple as we’ve made out but it’s also not that complicated xxx
Hello, thank you so much for your videos, I have been learning and following. I have incorporated Olaplex no. 8 because of your advice . Where would I use it in this routine? After I have rinsed out the deep conditioner and ACV rinse? Thank you
agree mostly, no-one has dry hair BUT OPEN CUTICLES BUT does hair-conditioner clog the cuticles?? We need something with low ph that has no or a pleasant smell
Are these steps correct?
1. CLEANSE with shampoo
2. TONE with Apple cider vinegar + water rinse
3. MOISTURIZE/SEAL with regular conditioner (or was it deep condition)?
Also, are there other acidic things that we could try?
Heyy I DC first and tone on top, only because I like to make sure I pack moisture in my hair before sealing my cuticles & im going to do a few reviews on some Korean hair products they are big on acidic hair products!xx
@@naturalnadinee thanks! Look forward to ur future videos!
I understood the following:
1. Deep condition (pre ooo)
2. Tone (ACV rinse)
3. Wash/shampoo
4. Regular condition (ACV again i think to smooth cuticle)
I love your channel, your knowledge base and your educative approach! However what about Blacks that have multiple hair textures in their head because they have more than one ethnicity (African and Caucasian)? I believe I have both HP and LP. The crown and front of my head is LP and the rest is HP. Can a person have more than one porosity? Is there a study for that? I have watched your other video. Thank you for your answer as I truly want to know.
Thank you girl! I really appreciate it and it’s possible to have numerous textures and a spectrum of porosity on one head some areas are lower some can be higher! With regards to dual ethnicities eg one white parent and one black parent will vary completely due to genetics and the individual. It can vary even with siblings that have the same parents textures and porosities can be different😭 I’d say in a case like that just be aware of the different characteristics your hair could possess based on ethnicity and try to assess your own hair on which category suits you best! Xxx
Aren't leave in condittioner already formulated that way, since they are finishing products
Yes conditioners are formulated to neutralise the effect of shampoo but there’s not many that are at the optimum PH to do so
Do you have any tips for people with locs?
My brother has Locs and I always recommend things for him but I’m no expert😭
I usually sit under the dry with my deep conditioning. Can I still sit under heat with the ACV?
GREAT channel btw ☺️
Yes you can! I definitely do & thank you 🤍🤍
Thank you! I did last week and I THINK I a was able to see a little curl definition, but not sure. Will test out again next wash day which is tomorrow. Again, thanks for answering my question. ☺️
Once the acv closes the cuticle how are the leave ins oils and/or butters supposed to get into the hair?
Happy I found your page. I have a question/request: Can you do a video on humectants and the weather? My hair is really high porosity, and using any kind of humenctant (man made or natural) works so against me 😢. Meaning I can never where my natural hair out/down because the humectants work too much with the moosture in the air.
So for me the whole: draws moisture to the hair is good, is actually a bad thing for my hair. 😢
Is Acv rinse really enough to seal my cuticle?
Im looking now into products that are really low in humectants, but most of the time They are thick and full of oils and make my hair greasy and weighed down, so then i feel the need to use a little heat to stretch my style (after it has dried) just to get back Some volume (else my hair looks like a wet dog who had almost no hair😅)
Hey! Sorry for my lateee response! && yes as a first I’d try ACV which will help seal your hair cuticles, also I know silicones are a swear word but they could actually help in your case! They’re more lightweight than oils Etc and still form a protective barrier over our hair to protect from the environment xxx
I have the same issue. I live in the southwest Florida. The only time I can use a product with glycerin is when I’m going to rinse it out. Otherwise I style with products that have little to no glycerin in them such as Kinky Curly Knot Today and Kinky Curly Curling Custard. I don’t use silicones because I don’t use conventional shampoos - they strip my hair way too much, including the non SLS shampoos. I use only clays and herbs to cleanse my hair (with ACV mixed in them of course 😅).
Do you suggest using sulphate including shampoos ?
Thank you!
Just curious. If you workout everyday, are you just doing a wash more often?
Thank you!!! I used a boar bristle brush today to push through the natural oils of my hair and detangle.. boy did that smoothe the cuticles down!
This is so crazy how your hair did a complete transformation. It looks damage here, but now your hair looks shiny and moisturize as a straight natural
Right! Wearing my hair straight has been the best thing for my hair and lifestyle personally! Still miss the occasional wash n go but it’s definitely better now xx
Wow this is why my daughter keeps breaking off after getting out of the pool.. The beach is leaving her cuticles open smh 🤦♀️
A tip for this is to wet your hair before getting into the pool/sea hair can only absorb so much water so if it’s already wet it will absorb less of the pool/sea water than if dry xxx
Wait, you spray the acv onto your hair while the deep conditioner is also in your hair? I always see people saying just to “rinse” the hair with acv at the end when the conditioner is already rinsed out. I just want to clarify so I do it right.
Yes whilst the DC is in my hair xxx
Yes!!!!!! ACV reigns supreme :)
she is that GIRL!!xx
What’s your opinion on just doing an acv rinse as a final step after deep conditioning, you don t rinse out the diluted Acv
I have done this But I’m unsure about the effects of leaving ACV on hair for extended time, it can be irritating to some but honestly I also don’t notice a hugeeee difference when I leave it in 🤍🤍
Hey 👋🏿, thanks for info. I use kaolin clay which has a ph of 4.5. Should I mixed Acv with my clay mask to seal the cuticle before deep conditioning? Or do you think that it would be better to make my clay mask with water first then deep conditioner with acv?
To be honest the bentonite clay typically has ACV mix so I don’t see why not the same for Kaolin clay! I would mix to skip the extra step just know the DC will take a bit longer to penetrate as you’ve sealed your cuticles x
When should i add AVC spray ?
I use shampoo and a leave in conditioner then a hair serum . I don’t use conditioner or DC for now . Leave in conditioner is spray water like .
Wash (the deep conditioner and ACV) out with shampoo again or do you mean rinse it out.? Confused (because wouldn’t the shampoo open the follicles again?) Thx, very informative. I will try ACV😊
Hey girl just rinse not wash with a shampoo my bad!xx
Thanks for your quick reply!@@naturalnadinee
Great video
So it’s
Shampoo
Deep condition rinsed with ACV
Then wash with water?
Yes, that’s how I do it 😌😌
@Sam Wills so you rinse the conditioner out with apple cider vinegar water and rerinse with plan water?
Would ACV do the same if mixed with conditioner in a bottle? Trying to think thru ahead of any way I could simplify it a little since she’s young (aka impatient lol) She’ll just have to suck it up if the two shouldn’t be combined 😊
Hey girl layering is always better than mixing && also how young are we talking? Only because it can sting the eyes a little xx
Is the ACV rinse to close the cuticle the same thing as when people rinse with cold water to close the cuticle?
Yes! But cold water only temporarily seals the cuticle adjusting the PH will have more lasting effects x
@@naturalnadinee thank u💖💖
Can i use the shea Moisture Jamaica black castor oil hair masque that have apple cider vinegar?
Yes absolutely, xx
Thanks so much for this video❤ I just found your channel. You mentioned that steaming high porosity hair will raise the cuticles too much. That is sooo true. I will use the apple cider vinegar rinse🙏🏽💞
What do you recommend for someone like myself? I have high po, looser curls through my whole head, EXCEPT for the whole front "perimeter only" of my hair I have 4c and low porosity😢 (You know the part when you get a sew in weave, that front section of the hair thats set aside to cover the weave tracts after sewing the hair. The leave out part.) That part of my hair just hardly ever absorbs the conditioner, products will just sit on top in beads.
I haven't found my hair twin on yt yet lol How can moisturize my low porosity section that happens to be the front perimeter of my hair? Any tips🤷🏾♀️😚💗
yes especially in curly state its better to use a heat cap than steam if you want long term moisture retention! I'd only recommend steaming for straight haired people who will inevitably straighten their hair which seals their cuticle with heat!xxxx
Thank you ❤ 😘😘😘
Of we Don’t have apple vinegar, should I apply conditionner after the Depp conditioner?
Wait so you don’t wash out the deep conditioner you just apply the acv right on top?
Also can I use a regular conditioner to rinse out the acv and deep conditioner or should I just not use a regular conditioner?
And after this routine do you have to moisturize / do an LCO routine/ apply any extra oils?
Yes! So I apply a deep conditioner a couple seconds later apply ACV mixture then work in. (This seals the moisture from the deep conditioner into my hair) Keep the “mixture” on for 20 minutes or however long you deep condition for. Then rinse.
I used to apply the ACV before the deep conditioner as ACV has cleansing properties but I wasn’t absorbing as much DC as I’d like. When I applied it after deep conditioning I’d find it would almost remove the deep conditioner I applied on so applying simultaneously has been the sweet spot for me😌
I no longer use leave in conditioners/creams/oil because ny hair doesn’t need it (if your hair does keep doing it but you’ll find the more you seal your cuticle the less extra products you’ll feel the need to add, especially oils) but my trick is when I apply my conditioner I rinse out most of it and leave a little in my hair. Rinse out&leave in conditioners are formulated the same so it just cuts out the extra steps and products. Then I’d style with my styling product (gel).
Sorry for the big fat essay🤣🤣🤍🤍
@@naturalnadinee Hi Nadine! Thanks for this video. As the last step of my wash n go, I use a gel at the end for definition and hold. I have yet to find a gel with a low pH with good hold. Most are ph of 6-7. Would this reopen the Cuticle and cause a big swing in pH? Any recommendations? Much appreciated! Thank you.
@@whatoncewas8480 have you tried aloe vera?
wouldn't you say a better routine is shampoo, deep conditioner, LOC, and apple cider to seal it all in?
The smell tho, how would you get rid of it???
So after I washed out the deep conditioner I spray in the apple cyder in my hair? Or I spray the apple cyer while the deep conditioner is in it?
Hey girl spray on top of DC! Works better for me I have a tutorial on my channel xx
I've noticed that most store bought aloe vera juice has lemon in it for a preservative. Could this be sprayed on the hair to keep the cuticle sealed throughout the week?
Depends what the PH is but I doubt it’ll be low enough to PH balance the hair xxx
@@naturalnadinee thank you 🤗
heyy, i really want to try this, is there any particular water / acv ratio i should use?? also--after the rinse, i can put a leave in and gel like normal, right??
I would say 1:3 acv fo water & yes style your hair as normal xxx
Hi Nadine! Have you ever thought to talk about Black women's skin and how to take care of it? Because it seems like I can't seem to find anything that works for my dry skin😭
Hey girl sorry for my late response this comment was in my filtered section! I’ll be honest I’m not to well versed on skin 😭 but my body skin is extremely dry and I can literally only use moisturisers my mum brings back from zimbabwe or Jergens it’s an Arabic brand and super moisturising xxx
Try a natural facial soap without sulfates and organic coconut oil after the shower.
@@chardonaye7488 The Hong is, I ve done that and broke out really bad😕
Im using Cetaphil, and im gonna se how it goes
@@peytonshue try using original shea butter
@@ewesiijeawele9268 Tried that too! Cetaphil is the only thing that seems to work for me
What should I do with relaxed colored treated hair?
I disagree about black people not having Low Porosity hair, because i do, but i have always known about PH balancing so i have always done ACV rinses. I don’t do LCO/LOC method. I have always been able to retain moisture for long periods of time without needing to re-moisturise.
I have always taken what tips i needed from content and i leave what i don’t need.
I honestly used to think i was high Porosity but its my hair itself that has shown she is not High-Po 😅
Its fine, takes longer to absorb products, i can’t do anything to it wet, it has to be damp, i need steam to deep condition. Once my hair is sealed its SEALED nothing else will penetrate till i wash again etc 😅
If you don’t mind me asking how do you retain your moisture what products do you use other than the LCO/LOC? I feel like I’m playing a never ending game 😭 It’s been years and I’m trying to get to the next level lol. Ima “4B” girl but my hair is dry.
The STUDIES that Nadine took the time to read to us demonstrate that African hair cuticles are more lifted than others so that fact has nothing to do w opinion.
However the population they studied doesn't cover 100% of all African genetics or all mixed ancestry people.
So your personal cuticles don't invalidate the studies that describe most African cuticles.
#ReadingIsFundamental #SoIsCriticalThinking
So when would you add protein in this regimen? Thanks!
Hello! I’m a protein head so I use products containing protein in my DC o use bond builders every wash day and do a heavy protein treatment at least once a month, xx
So wash first, deep conditioner and then tone? Can I use a leave in after I tone?
Yes you can! & I tone and DC simultaneously Xxx
Is it ke or is her hair so thin?
It looked so thin here! Don’t do a half up half down on a 1st day wash n go that hasn’t been picked out🤣🤣 that’s all imma say
Where do I include flax seed gel mask for moisture?
Hi Nadine! Thanks for this video. As the last step of my wash n go, I use a gel at the end for definition and hold. I have yet to find a gel with a low pH with good hold. Most are ph of 6-7. Would this reopen the Cuticle and cause a big swing in pH? Any recommendations? Much appreciated! Thank you.
Hey there! Yes I get what you mean and AK thought it will cause your hairs PH but it still helps to PH balance your hair before so the effects aren’t as much xx
