The ancient Korean haircare was very similar. Hair was shampooed only once a year. The rest of the time it was oiled and rinses and perfumed but not deeply scrubbed. And the old combs were more like flea combs and removed not just luce and parasites, but dust and and dander. Oil and herbal rinses were used to treat problems, even green tea was used as a rinse but also a face wash. Various flowers were also used as well such as gardenia and peony. Shampoo was made with mung bean starch, or in some cases red clay and an herbal oil blend to clarify the hair. Also boiled water or natural River water was used in those days. And hair was kept braided and tied with cloth, and secured with pins. Korean women were known in antiquity so much for thier thick and luscious hair that the Chinese demanded it as a part of tributes by various Korean kingdoms. I get got the best of All my ancestors Polynesian west African and Korean. My hair is thickkkkkkuh! I remember even breaking a few wide Tooth combs.
If I did that it would look so weighed down. I have lost a lot of hair from covid and even before that it was fine and thin. So oily. No way I could go a year without a wash. Like every two days
As a bald person, this is so fascinating to watch. I don't know why but I love watching hair care videos, even though I'll never grow my hair. Maybe I'm watching to be helpful to my future girlfriend hahah
I do the same for big girls haul as a skinny girl... Idk it feels so satisfying to watch well fited clothes for big sizes eventhough I'm not going to purchase them obviously
I love how the only word you try to make sound extremely English is the one I wanted you to say with the beautiful Colombiana : jojoba! Jajajaja I think Eve probably looked like you! Such beautiful features! Have you seen Akiane Kramerik or Richard Jesse Watson’s illustrations of Adam and Eve? You look like their renderings to me!
For those who need to wash their hair every day: I used to have to wash my hair daily because it would get extremely greasy and itchy, but once I learned how to properly care for my hair and got higher quality products (esp ones with neither sulfates nor silicones), as well as learned about co-washing, I can now go 1-3 weeks between washes without it getting oily/stringy. It really helps to train your scalp; instead of washing daily, try washing every 2 days, and then after a few weeks move up to every 3 days, then every 4 days, etc. It takes time and patience to train your scalp, but in the end it is so completely worth it!
@@jorieforbes8 I think that is what she is combing through her hair from her scalp. Hair is hair. Just get better products. I am using Viori now and I can go longer between washes. Not a week yet, but longer than twice a week.
@@virginiacreager4331 I am still playing with things. I have Viori shampoo bar and conditioner bar and I need to get regular at making rice water. I want to go this route for a year and see. I have only used the bars 3 times.
I do that all the time, I say pero instead of but😄 I think when you speak fast the " pero" comes out because we think in Spanish while we speak English.
My grandmother was born in 1896. Her hair was to her waist. She used soap in her hair once a week. She kept it braided and in a bun. You wouldn't be able tell if it was dirty. And she taught me to brush the hair one hundred strokes in the morning. I have her hair. Very fine like silky spiderweb.
By the way, my grandmother had a dairy. We have all eaten dairy our whole life and it actually helps hair to grow. Your hair is made of protein and milk has protein.
I found tea tree oil and vinegar are also great for cleansing without using shampoo!! I put tea tree and tamanu, jojoba, argan, olive, lavender, and rosemary oil in my hair 1-2x a day and brush it in really well with a scalp massage and my hair and scalp have NEVER been healthier or felt better! So glad that people are picking up these old traditions again and steering away from all the modern 'tricks and gimmicks' Thanks for the video and your Nana is SO BEAUTIFUL! you are as well! Have a blessed day
@@debracisneroshhp2827 you only use shampoo on your scalp, and only a little bit. if your hair is halfway down your butt trust me you're gonna use more conditioner than shampoo. conditioner bottles are also often smaller in my experience
@@debracisneroshhp2827 or perhaps because shampoo should only be used on the scalp to get rid of build up and oil. But conditioner should be put from your neck down to the ends of your hair so depending on the length of your hair you use more or less conditioner than shampoo.
If you have African/ Native ancestry… your ancestors are proud of you. The care and time you put into your hair, energy… etc your crown is beautiful. Diasporic women were super inventive and had to adjust to many changes. I appreciate your content as a transitioning diaspora woman.
So much knowledge of our ancestors has been lost. Thank you so much for bringing it back, keeping it alive and sharing it. Your hair looks naturally beautiful. You don't have hair that looks plastic because of products. So nice! Lots of love to you and your grand-mother. Kind regards from Amsterdam
I tried going "no-poo" several years ago (heard it was better for curly hair), but my hair was literally dripping grease. (I realized later I needed to adjust what I was doing and get my hair to adjust to the point where I was producing less oil.) About a year ago, I tried doing a modified curly girl method, but it was super expensive, and seemed to be a lot of trying out products, if they didn't work, toss them, buy new products, try those out, etc. Lately, with quarantine, I stopped washing my hair as often because I wasn't going out as often...and holy moly. That seems to be the best thing I have ever done for the health of my hair. It's silky soft, thick, shiny, curly, and doesn't tangle nearly as easily. I get a lot of compliments on my hair now, and all I did was stop washing it as often. It doesn't smell dirty or feel dirty, and it's stopped producing as much oil as it used to (because I'm not constantly stripping the natural oils out with shampoo).
@@Jonid5184 I do oil my hair now, but I didn't in the beginning when I was just starting out. If you start washing your hair less often, it will produce more oil for a while until it adjusts, so for a while there you'll feel pretty greasy and dirty and yes, gross. Adding oils to that felt like too much at that point. It's hard to stick with, but once I noticed how much better my hair was feeling, I was determined to stick it out (also, quarantine helped; no one was seeing my hair. Hairstyles that help "hide" transitioning hair: buns are really good at not looking greasy, and of course scarves will hide a bad hair day). I oil my hair once a week before bed, and massage it into my scalp and ends. I also very gently massage my scalp with the pads of my fingers - no nails, that can damage the scalp - upside down (without oil) every night before bed. This stimulates blood flow, helps promote hair growth, and also helps remove some of the build-up in my hair without as much brushing. I dry brush my hair about once a week (I also brush it in the shower with conditioner in my hair), and sleep with it in a bun or braid to reduce tangling. Brushing my hair less often helped prevent as much breakage and fallout. I used to wash my hair once a week, but slowly transitioned to once every two weeks, once every three weeks, and now I'm at once a month. It does take a very long time to adjust fully, but once it does, the change blew me away. Good luck on your hair journey!
@@KE-hr4sb Thank you so much ma'am for taking out your precious time to explain me. God bless you 1) So I must try to oil my hair once a week. 2) I must try to wash my hair once a week, then once twice, three and then once a week 3) I must massage my scalp everyday without oil. Dry brush your hair means? Must not comb hair daily? If we put oil before going to bed then won't our pillow cover will spoil? With what do you cover your oily hair before sleeping on pillow? Thank you so much God bless you Thank you
@@Jonid5184 Anytime! :) Dry brushing just means brushing my hair during the day without water or product in it; I try to do it as little as possible to reduce split ends and breakage, but also just often enough to keep my hair from matting up into a rat's nest lol. For me, that's about once a week plus sleeping with it up, so it doesn't rub against my pillow when I turn and cause friction and tangle. When my mom was a teenager, the common idea was that brushing your hair 100 strokes on each side was healthy. I remember my mom's surprise when she came to me saying they'd actually discovered brushing was damaging to hair. When I brush my hair, I start with the ends, then the middle, then the roots. It's a lot more gentle (my daughter has hair to her backside and does this too, she loves it because it's not as painful to brush out). For oiling, I use about a dime-sized dab of oil on my fingers (My hair is about bra-strap length), then warm it in my palms (rub your hands together until the friction starts to generate a little heat). I concentrate mostly on the ends first, which are the driest, then massage the leftover into my scalp and work the oil through the sections of my hair with my fingers. it doesn't leave my hair greasy enough to need anything covering my pillowcase (my hair naturally tended to be on the dry/curly side, so it really soaks up the oil). If you feel your hair needs more of a heavier oiling treatment, I'd recommend using a sleep cap or one of those heat caps that you can warm up in the microwave (gentle heat helps the oil penetrate the hair shaft, but you don't want to use hair dryers or straighteners etc cause too much heat can damage the hair). Take care! :)
@@KE-hr4sb Good morning, ma'am Thank you for guiding me and helping me to take care of my hair. So we are not to to brush our hair too much. But we can comb God bless you Actually I am losing lot of hair everyday Bunch of hair So I am worried Dime size oil means? While sleeping you tie your hair up means bun
@@goldcherry103 I use no heat. Women that grow their hair super long usually opt for updos and buns, but I prefer braids myself. A lot of the flowy and loose hairstyles that are popular are not really conducive to growing your hair long because these create mechanical damage with repeatedly use. Years ago when my hair was mid-back length I would occasionally wet my hair and sleep with it in curlers to get the curled look, but I stopped doing that because it caused tangles in wavy hair. I just prefer braids, and think these are beautiful because these are protective and can be versatile.
@@alelo3827 women back then kept their hair up all day in braids and buns, then around bed time they would take it down and gently comb out their hair. By doing this, they moved the oil from their scalp down their hair and removed any build up. Rich woman could grow their hair out, poor woman would cut/shave it and sell it. Sometimes people would forcefully cut poor woman's hair to make money off of selling it.
Important to remember these techniques were created in Europe around specific hair types that are common/native there (wavy to goldilocks curl). Also, they didn't really care about frizz because they wore their hair up most of the time and always in public. Basically, if that's not your hair then this is not designed for you.
@@hermitofswords When hair is straight/wavy you can't comb/brush it wet or it will just snap the hair off at the knot. Because the hair is straighter it will naturally want to return to it's original shape if teased out of a knot. By making it wet you're just setting it into a knot like you would set a curl. In yr9 I once combed a fist sized matt out of hair that I could only describe as 3ft Capellini that needed slowly untangling like a ball of wool. It look 1.5 hours. If it would have been wet it would have been like combing perished rubber bands.
I WISH I could do this!!! 3 weeks??? That would be great. I’ve been washing my hair every other day since I was 21 and before that, EVERY day. I know nobody cares, but I just wanted to join the conversation! I would give almost anything to go that long without washing. Thank you for sharing. I never knew that option was out there for anybody!
switch to a natural conditioner/shampoo and try increase by a day per week. if you wash more often your hair will make more oil to compensate! so you can train it back to washing once a week or so
@@jem9961 thank you for the advice! My mom is horrified, but I am determined to reduce the number of times I wash my hair each week. Do you mind sharing the brand of shampoo you use? If that’s not allowed on here, I will send my email address. Thank you!
@@chrisleigh485 i personally use Maui shampoo & condition in the curly hair range (might only be available where i live though) but anything that explicitly says it does not contain sulfate and silicone will work! sulfate strips the hair = more oil, and silicone messes with the natural oils/hair coiling!
and using a boar bristle brush/horse bristle brush can help extend the days between your washes, as it helps distribute oil that does not reach the ends due to it being curly(I.e if your hair is curly) but works for all hair types. for curlier hair types you can use the brush few days before and on the day you’ll be shampooing your hair. so that at least, the first few days you can go without putting your hair up and showing your curls.
My grandmother taught me to wash my hair once a month with diluted soapy water. The rest of the time I brush my hair every other day, and I would have my hair in either a normal three strand braid or up in a loose bun. ( btw my Oma is Austrian )
I've always loved long hair, but my own had never even gotten to my waist, even though I rarely cut it. Since my office has had us working from home for the past year, my hair is now down to my hips - - - I think it's because I only wash it once a month (or less) and keep it in a braid most days
This video is just precious❤️. Specifically for those who wants to do no shampoo water only method ☺️. It's going to be three months tomorrow since I have stopped using shampoo. Whenever I tell someone that I haven't washed my hair with shampoo for the past three months, the surprised look on their face is real😊. It looks and feels like freshly washed hair and smells just like my skin. I wash my hair only using water. And brush my hair using this method everyday for 30 minutes(well almost everyday 😅). I live in a tropical climate and have thigh length hair so never had the courage to go shampoo less until I came across this medieval hair combing method. And it's going great so far. Never had to face the greasy,flaky, smelly problem that people face with going no shampoo water only method ☺️.
can I ask about the combing and brushing method in between washes...what about if you get a sweaty scalp? Do you still rinse hair with water in between washes or can this be combed out? I heard salt is bad for hair?
@@lauren9373 Sweaty scalp can be cleaned by combing. But if it's something you are dealing with everyday, then maybe cleaning the hair with natural alternatives will work best for you. Like when there's a heat wave going on for more than a week,I just get lazy to comb the hair everyday. So this is my solution that works for me😌. After following the combing method this long, I have found some natural ways of cleaning the hair without combing all the time. Like lime juice and water works really well in cleaning the scalp. And for fluffy,shiny soft hair a hair pack of egg,Greek yogurt and lime juice works best. These days I don't really comb to clean that often like in the beginning. And when I feel lazy, I just use lime juice or the hair pack to clean my hair😁.

I donot know about the western medieval times . But in India, women had thick long hair . Most women had textured hair and not pin straight and they loved it. They would wash their hair with Reetha or soapnut that produces lather like shampoos. Its amazing in washing hair , body , even utensils and clothes. They'd make herbal oils with almost 10-20 herbs , used alot of kitchen items. Their hair was long, strong and textured with frizz . If your goal is that , you can follow that . Otherwise modern products aim in taming frizz that they do quite well. While most wavy/curly or naturally thin hair women have trouble growing hair . I think one can mix and match methods according to their hair type , hair issues and goals . Keeping in mind that you'll have to sacrifice one or the other things to get a desired result. I'm aiming for long, thick hair and im nomore fond of smoothness and frizz free hair. My hair is beautiful whenever i do CG hair. People are shocked but when i comb my hair , the same people will say i have damaged hair and that i have to get keratin , smoothening treatments. It nomore bothers me .

I love that you use that jojoba oil! I swear by it! I’ve gotten over a dozen bottles over the years. It’s amazing for skin and hair, awesome after a shower to moisturize. I love it! My hair is so fine that I’m not *sure* that my hair can handle this, it gets weighed down so easily, but I may try it! Awesome video regardless and stay wonderful. 😊
@AmaraJordan, My problem, too! That's why I have learned not to use but a 'tiny' amount of conditioner after rinsing under cooler water, and applying 'mostly' on the ends. Try this protocol on occasion: instead of shampoo put 1/4 c. baking soda in a glass, then about 1/2 - 1c. warmed spring or distilled water, swirl or mix well. Then, prepare similarly using natural apple cider vinegar, and a bit more water, to be used as a rinse. In the shower, use the BS as shampoo making sure to comb through thoroughly with fingers, leaving on for a few minutes, rinsing well with warm, but not hot, water__then, with cooler water(to smooth down hair cuticles) use the ACV as a rinse using same technique 'combing' thoroughly through before rinsing again with the cooler water. And, of course, towel dry 'gently' before combing and allowing to dry naturally. It sounds more complicated than it is to do. When I do this I use a glass bottle for each so they don't get too cold before I need them and easier to control how I apply to my hair and scalp. Be careful not to get either in your eyes, that would not feel good at all! Btw, before I mix my concoctions, I comb(or brush) my hair and scalp in preparation(similar to dry brushing my body) to stimulate skin and remove dead skin cells. I hope you try this, tweeking the formulas according to length and oiliness of your hair__your hair will feel cleaner and healthier! 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺
Love this I’m gonna try it! I tried ancient technique of protective styles (braiding) my hair so I wouldn’t wash or use my hair dryer or straightener on my hair. After a week it got annoying and I had to take it out. But I’ve been trying to wash my hair less often as it helps it be healthier. Thanks for this advice ❤️
You should check out the old photos of the Vallejo girls of California (historical). They had beautiful long hair like that and I live the historical photos you used. Beautifully done video. I am going to try it.

Awesome video and tips! I’m going to try this! Your grandma was my favorite part :) her hair and her smile are so beautiful. I have waist length hair, which I haven’t dyed or heated (Its a grow out of a chop). I think this could really help me.
I still haven't found anyone doing this who has blonde hair... the build up always makes my blonde hair darker and still durty. doesn't matter how much I brush it.
Yes, I would love to know if this works on blonde (wavy) hair. Every time I brush, things seem to get worse. My roots get way more greasy and dark, and my brush gets really dirty too. The more I brush, the earlier I need to wash it (with a natural product, I don't use shampoo).
@@SuperCaraLicious exactly, and I have very fine hair, so it just lays durty on the top, and then it frizzes out at the bottom. It's impossible to make the oil go all the way down.
On behalf of type 4 hair peeps it’s a hard no. The manipulation involved is enough to have us bald in a month. Beautiful hair n enlightening video tho 🔥😘❤️
I have 4B hair, and I do something similar "but" in the shower under running water. Soak the hair, not just wet it, soak it till its fully drenched, then apply natural conditioner that won't strip your sebum. While under the running water began rinse out of the conditioner while combing first with a wide tooth comb to detangle then I finish up with a very "fine" tooth comb going from scalp root to ends in a downward motion, thoroughly combing every portion over and over to I can feel the smooth waves. I do not separate into sections my hair is all loose, all done under water. T-shirt dry it. Try it you will love it! I do not do it dry, you need the water to help you move the sebum which is waxy down. We as black women benefit highly from moving down the sebum since our coily hair often prevents it from having access to the full hair shaft, unless we help it to do so. Theirs being straight it has more access to move down that's why their hair grows faster so yes the type 4 community needs this in their regimen more than they do. check out @Neki Cakes here on YT, she shows herself doing it in the shower on black hair and the benefits!
@@CurlyVeil O Thank you so much for your kind words Beautiful! Now that pic actually doesn't show my coils cuz its a blow-out (its just one of my favs😊) but yes this technique has truly helped my coily hair so much, I just had to tweek it is all, that's why I came to watch, lovely video!! I was just hoping to share with Arewa that it works for us too! Thanks for great content!
@@nnaturalheaven3754 If your sebum is waxy and thick, you might try clarifying it with distilled water with enough vinegar in it to bring the pH down to 5 (the best pH for your hair). The distilled water is soft, and so removes minerals and other impurities from your sebum left by hard water from your tap. So it leaves it soft, smooth, and thin. And with the correct pH, this of course helps to smooth down the hair cuticles too. It sounds like a great technique for your hair type!
@@callmeswivelhips8229 I've tried vinegar before but my main problem is I hardly produce any sebum at all. Not just my scalp, my face never gets oily, I must use moisturizers or it gets tight. So I have to workout hard, ie High Interval Training to get my scalp to sweat hard to move the sebum out and the water in the shower while combing gently to move it down. Being my scalp is so dry, it may just be coming out too thick when I do actually produce a little and not thin enough as others who glands are more active, so I will try to revisit the vinegar to see if it helps its fluidity some, TY!
Cool video! I have wavy hair and I like to gently brush my hair on day 3 before refreshing it. I have quite an oily scalp and brushing really helps me as I don't have to wash may hair as often! Also I love that you included your grandma! Mine also taught me some stuff like doing beerrinses on my hair 🙈
I love this video, because you are right! Those women back in the day didn't have serums and conditioners, and keratin treatments, they had oil! That's what they had!!! Some of them even used bar soap, and their hair was the most beautiful of all!!! My mom used to oil my hair when I was younger and always had my hair pulled back, either in braids or one braid or ponytails. Now as an adult, wearing my hair loose, oiling does not work as well for me. Maybe the braids kept the oil doing it's job right. Braids tend to keep the hair untangled. When I use oil now I find the hair does NOT detangle smoothly. I do better much better with conditioner and dampening the hair, and combing it through. The oil and conditioner detangle very differently. Although oil is probably a better, the more natural and similar to sebum method. I always need to detangle first THEN use oil. Conditioner does cause more buildup than oil, oil belongs more naturally in the hair. Not sure what it is, maybe because I have very dry hair, (I don't seem to have any sebum) but my hair tends to be too tangly. But every time I want to do an oil treatment the tiny tangles at the bottom of the curls seem to get worse. I feel like I am ripping through them. I have to detangle first then oil...not oil then detangle! I love your tee shirt ...the art is so cute, and what all of us Curlies aspire to (healthy curls with length) You should put links to the bamboo brush/ comb / t-shirt etc! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!! Blessings!!! ☺️ 💗🙏🌺
Very interesting technique! I've been water only for years. At times when I'm too lazy to wash my hair, I just do something like this. It works to keep your scalp free and clear of debris and sebum for sure.
Excellent tips and techniques. I love to use jojoba oil as well as argan oil on my hair. Keeping the strands hydrated makes such a difference to the health of long hair.
I've been growing my natural hair for 13 yrs, it is to my knees and about 3 ft long. I only wash it about once a month but I rinse it with water more frequently and as needed. I dont use any hair sprays, mousse, gels, oils or leave ins. I have never permed, ever, but Ive colored in the past, though not in these 13 yrs. I almost always keep it braided and pulled up. I use a wide tooth comb every couple days to detangle, smooth, distribute sebum and remove debris (dust and cat hair mostly). I usually have cut it off every ten yrs to a bob for good regrowth but instead, I wont waste the opportunity to have Barbie mermaid hair first. Tomorrow, I am bleaching it and dying it pink, purple and blue. Later, if its "ruined" I will go with a short red bob before starting on a new ten yr growth pattern.
Thank you! And Ive done it! I took the big plunge. After two bleachings, Im now sitting here with the colorful dye on my hair! I am so jazzed about this! I just cannot wait for the results. It's "bye bye" to my trapped in the house 'Rona blues and "Hello" to my purple blue mermaid hair! I will keep using these same hair care methods that have been working for me for years, less product is usually better. Love you sis.
Wow my hair is 40% gray at 54. Grandma show me your ways! 😢 beautiful hair. I’m going to try to stretch my washes out but I have psoriasis flair ups sometimes.
Embrace your crown and your energy, how beautiful and sexy looks a goddess with her natural grays 🙏🏼🌺. But check your healt and life style... are you taking zinc, coper, b12? How is your sleep? Use only vegan shampoo there is a good brand: ACURE 🙏🏼

I just have to say thank you so much. I knew there was a better more natural way I just couldn't remember all the steps. You are an answer to my prayers today.
1800's may be a "long" time ago but it's not medieval era in the slightest. The medieval era ends like in the 1500's when the Renaissance begins. So like 300 years prior... If people can take photographs of themselves, it's clearly not Middle ages...
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. I have transitioned to natural hair products and can now go 7 days without washing my hair (against washing it every two days before that....). I'm looking forward to trying this technique.
I only wash my hair once a week. I found that’s the longest I can do without washing my hair. It took so long for my scalp/hair to get used to it but it has made such a difference
Great job on your hair, sorry but this wouldn't work for my 4c hair. I can only imagine what hair loss would happen when I use that fine-tooth comb/brush on my roots. 🤔
@@kaithleen3872 beautiful if you hair is too oily: is dependent of different factors: Washing the hair too often? Using hot water? Putting too many products? You can use your finger to pull down the good oils from your scalp Down to your strands, it’s the best moisturizer for your hair
I love the technique! My hair is very long, something between butt and mid-tight length, I wash it once in two weeks. It definitely saves me some time - it takes many hours to dry my hair after washing. I comb and braid it everyday before going to sleep.
You remind me of my mother, who when I was a child, always gave me those tips how to take care of my body and hair :) Also, you have gorgeous hair and I really love your black colour! Your grandmother is beatiful :)
That’s crazy I do this method out of boredom 🤣no wonder, I’ll wash at least twice a month. This actually works and it’s also good for wanting to stretch the hair so the oils/ natural oil goes straight to the ends
Thank you so much i just tried this technique on my hair was skeptic at first but actually it works wonders and no breakage .. ! I used a wide tooth comb as you say a Denman natural bristles brush and the comb .. 🎉🎉
So I don’t even need hair cream and all that extra stuff? Cuz I heard most black hair products can cause breast cancer but I feel like I absolutely need them. Thanks for making this video. So simple.

I dont shampoo my hair anymore. But I have a silicone free conditioner that is formulated with shea and argan oil- it does have conditioning agents. No formaldehyde releasing agents. I just don't think I could give it up.
Finally a long haired curly girl talking about hair care! 👍 Including what brushes to use. The boar's hair brushes that most videos use don't get through my hair. I also really love that a different brush is shown here to get to the scalp. I've always wondered how to get to that since normal brushes don't get to mine. I haven't read the about section yet, but I'm hoping there is a link to buy the brushes. I also really love that you addressed the smell. No one seems to talk about that. I have had dairy and sugar all my life and have just recently given up dairy. Sugar is going to have to be the next to go. (I already don't eat meat.) I didn't realize that was what was causing the smell. It makes sense, though. What about spices? Will eating things like onions and garlic make our hair smell, too? If so, I'll give those up, too. Thank you for this awesome video! 💖
@@cfoster6804 Interesting! I wonder if it does that to me, too. I've noticed that garlic or onions or processed microwavable dinners make me smell awful. I still do smell some even without that, but I also added whey protein back into my diet. I do have a little bit of sugar, too. Funny enough, my hair doesn't smell at all anymore. I haven't been shampooing at all. About twice a week I've been washing it with only Head N Shoulder conditioner. And I comb well in the shower. But that's it. And the scalp smell is completely gone. 🤷♀️
When i stopped dairies for the first time in my life back years ago, my hair Indeed stopped being greasy and smelly! That was an encouraging experience! Sugars burns in mouth After a few days stopping it. Meat decomposes quite unpleasantly as well in my intestine. Many repercussions occur at all levels in the body de CAN experiment.👏
@@florencemadeleinecrivello9760 Mine has stopped being greasy now too. Now that I eat almost no meat. And now that I almost never use actual shampoo. Just a cowash and really good combing in the shower about twice a week for me now. My hair seems to be most happy with that routine.
You can do this! Thinner oils like jojoba, argan, and marula oil to name a few are great for thin hair. I personally use a small amount of marula oil as it doesn't weigh down my hair or make it look greasy
I use argan oil for my super fine blonde hair. I've used jojoba oil as well, but argan oil has worked the best for me. My hair is shoulder length, I split my hair down the middle and use two drops per side, focusing mainly on the ends of my hair. I usually just use it to calm the frizz, but I've also used it as a hair mask that left my hair feeling heavenly.
Use naturalicious clay wash and in between cleanses, just rinse, finger detangle, massage scalp under the water and apply shea butter and castor oil to your hair. Curly hair needs oils.
@@pheenobarbidoll2016 , If you really pay attention to the very beginning of her video, she is not brushing or combing dry hair. First, her hair is damp from the shower; then, she applies oil, THEN, she brushes and combs thoroughly through__even spritzing with spring water afterward. Hope that brings more clarity to the process. 💖🙌🙌🙌😺
I struggle with not washing because my hair gets so oily in just one day! I started rinsing with red onion juice but maybe I need to try this brushing technique as well.
The more you wash your hair, the more your body will produce oil to compensate for it! Try washing it every 2 days for a few weeks, then every 3 days for a few weeks, etc. This will give your body a chance to readjust the oil production!
@@brokeazzbeach3648 I trained my scalp in the same way a few years back. On a bad day I would just wear a hat and each time I went longer and longer without washing. I went from having to wash every 3 days to once a week and its great! Also when I do wash I shampoo twice.
@@brokeazzbeach3648 washing long hair in the sink can be a pain, so I got one of those handheld shower heads. It feels really nice to run a lot of cold water over your head only, especially when you have a headache.

Thank you so my Hello i just tried this technique on my hair was skeptic at first but actually it works wonders and no breakage .. ! I used a wide tooth comb as you say a Denman natural bristles brush and the comb .. 🎉🎉
Hi there, your hair and your grandma’s hair is gorgeous ! And I was hoping if you could specify what kind of brushes and combs you use or send links? I would like to try your technique (:
Actually that much brushing is damaging. They were just trying to spread the grease. Better to shampoo & add olive oil at the bottom. I surely can't walk around itchy. I mean, your scalp gets as greasy as your face. Its really washing your scalp. I have hair like her & yeah, its work.
@@mickibirch3571 yeah you're right but i guess it also depends on the type and quality of the brush one uses, but sure i wouldn't want to go about without washing my hair for multiple months or so^^ but i do think humans could techinically go with washing their hair and body with only water... or we could try and lick ourselves clean like cats hahaha who volunteers as a tribute? ehrm i mean guinea pig?
I'm on board with the rest of it 100% and am up to 2-2.5 weeks between washes, but you'll have to pry my dairy products from my cold deceased hands. I don't think my hair smells because of it either. Might be because I'm blessed to be a non lactose intolerant adult.
Your voice and your hair are both beautiful. I am going to try this right now. I wash my hair about every 10 days and have done so all my life but it would be great not to have to wash it at all!
Hi beautiful Souls 🙏🏾 Thank you for your time and Support🤍 please wach this video 😔 💔 czcams.com/video/UzZTxLH4M0E/video.html
The ancient Korean haircare was very similar. Hair was shampooed only once a year. The rest of the time it was oiled and rinses and perfumed but not deeply scrubbed. And the old combs were more like flea combs and removed not just luce and parasites, but dust and and dander. Oil and herbal rinses were used to treat problems, even green tea was used as a rinse but also a face wash. Various flowers were also used as well such as gardenia and peony. Shampoo was made with mung bean starch, or in some cases red clay and an herbal oil blend to clarify the hair. Also boiled water or natural River water was used in those days. And hair was kept braided and tied with cloth, and secured with pins. Korean women were known in antiquity so much for thier thick and luscious hair that the Chinese demanded it as a part of tributes by various Korean kingdoms. I get got the best of All my ancestors Polynesian west African and Korean. My hair is thickkkkkkuh! I remember even breaking a few wide Tooth combs.
OH WOW AMAZING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL INFO🌺🙏🏼🤍THANK YOU GODDESS 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌺

So to wash there hair they jist rinse it with water or tea rinse ?
@@lunarrose9290 my hair is natural curly (type 3c). Yes, but the methode has limits depending on the hairtype.
If I did that it would look so weighed down. I have lost a lot of hair from covid and even before that it was fine and thin. So oily. No way I could go a year without a wash. Like every two days
As a bald person, this is so fascinating to watch. I don't know why but I love watching hair care videos, even though I'll never grow my hair. Maybe I'm watching to be helpful to my future girlfriend hahah

For those who need to wash their hair every day:
I used to have to wash my hair daily because it would get extremely greasy and itchy, but once I learned how to properly care for my hair and got higher quality products (esp ones with neither sulfates nor silicones), as well as learned about co-washing, I can now go 1-3 weeks between washes without it getting oily/stringy.
It really helps to train your scalp; instead of washing daily, try washing every 2 days, and then after a few weeks move up to every 3 days, then every 4 days, etc. It takes time and patience to train your scalp, but in the end it is so completely worth it!
what's your hair type? i've been training my hair and it still gets visibly greasy after about 4-5 days. i have dirty blond type 2a/2b hair
@@jorieforbes8 I think that is what she is combing through her hair from her scalp. Hair is hair. Just get better products. I am using Viori now and I can go longer between washes. Not a week yet, but longer than twice a week.
What products do you use ?

My grandmother was born in 1896. Her hair was to her waist. She used soap in her hair once a week. She kept it braided and in a bun. You wouldn't be able tell if it was dirty. And she taught me to brush the hair one hundred strokes in the morning. I have her hair. Very fine like silky spiderweb.
By the way, my grandmother had a dairy. We have all eaten dairy our whole life and it actually helps hair to grow. Your hair is made of protein and milk has protein.
Thank you for sharing your grandma's secrets, love you!
I found tea tree oil and vinegar are also great for cleansing without using shampoo!! I put tea tree and tamanu, jojoba, argan, olive, lavender, and rosemary oil in my hair 1-2x a day and brush it in really well with a scalp massage and my hair and scalp have NEVER been healthier or felt better!
So glad that people are picking up these old traditions again and steering away from all the modern 'tricks and gimmicks'
Thanks for the video and your Nana is SO BEAUTIFUL! you are as well!
Have a blessed day
Do you put those oils in your scalp? How do you go about your day without looking greasy?
Hair brush? Link
Omg she's totally accurate lol, long hair is a second job! Also you always run out of conditioner much faster than shampoo.
E E,
Probably because you are using way too much conditioner each time. 💖🙌🙌🙌😺
@@debracisneroshhp2827 you only use shampoo on your scalp, and only a little bit. if your hair is halfway down your butt trust me you're gonna use more conditioner than shampoo. conditioner bottles are also often smaller in my experience
@@neuswoesje590 , Got it. 😺
@@debracisneroshhp2827 or perhaps because shampoo should only be used on the scalp to get rid of build up and oil. But conditioner should be put from your neck down to the ends of your hair so depending on the length of your hair you use more or less conditioner than shampoo.
I always run out of shamp first idk why 🙂
If you have African/ Native ancestry… your ancestors are proud of you. The care and time you put into your hair, energy… etc your crown is beautiful. Diasporic women were super inventive and had to adjust to many changes. I appreciate your content as a transitioning diaspora woman.
“the hair is like a plant” i already love you
So much knowledge of our ancestors has been lost. Thank you so much for bringing it back, keeping it alive and sharing it. Your hair looks naturally beautiful. You don't have hair that looks plastic because of products. So nice! Lots of love to you and your grand-mother. Kind regards from Amsterdam
I tried going "no-poo" several years ago (heard it was better for curly hair), but my hair was literally dripping grease. (I realized later I needed to adjust what I was doing and get my hair to adjust to the point where I was producing less oil.) About a year ago, I tried doing a modified curly girl method, but it was super expensive, and seemed to be a lot of trying out products, if they didn't work, toss them, buy new products, try those out, etc. Lately, with quarantine, I stopped washing my hair as often because I wasn't going out as often...and holy moly. That seems to be the best thing I have ever done for the health of my hair. It's silky soft, thick, shiny, curly, and doesn't tangle nearly as easily. I get a lot of compliments on my hair now, and all I did was stop washing it as often. It doesn't smell dirty or feel dirty, and it's stopped producing as much oil as it used to (because I'm not constantly stripping the natural oils out with shampoo).
Do you oil your hair? After how many days do you wash your hair?
I am loosing my hair a lot. They have become thin
Thank you
@@Jonid5184 I do oil my hair now, but I didn't in the beginning when I was just starting out. If you start washing your hair less often, it will produce more oil for a while until it adjusts, so for a while there you'll feel pretty greasy and dirty and yes, gross. Adding oils to that felt like too much at that point. It's hard to stick with, but once I noticed how much better my hair was feeling, I was determined to stick it out (also, quarantine helped; no one was seeing my hair. Hairstyles that help "hide" transitioning hair: buns are really good at not looking greasy, and of course scarves will hide a bad hair day).
I oil my hair once a week before bed, and massage it into my scalp and ends. I also very gently massage my scalp with the pads of my fingers - no nails, that can damage the scalp - upside down (without oil) every night before bed. This stimulates blood flow, helps promote hair growth, and also helps remove some of the build-up in my hair without as much brushing. I dry brush my hair about once a week (I also brush it in the shower with conditioner in my hair), and sleep with it in a bun or braid to reduce tangling. Brushing my hair less often helped prevent as much breakage and fallout. I used to wash my hair once a week, but slowly transitioned to once every two weeks, once every three weeks, and now I'm at once a month. It does take a very long time to adjust fully, but once it does, the change blew me away.
Good luck on your hair journey!
@@KE-hr4sb
Thank you so much ma'am for taking out your precious time to explain me.
God bless you
1) So I must try to oil my hair once a week.
2) I must try to wash my hair once a week, then once twice, three and then once a week
3) I must massage my scalp everyday without oil.
Dry brush your hair means?
Must not comb hair daily?
If we put oil before going to bed then won't our pillow cover will spoil?
With what do you cover your oily hair before sleeping on pillow?
Thank you so much
God bless you
Thank you
@@Jonid5184 Anytime! :)
Dry brushing just means brushing my hair during the day without water or product in it; I try to do it as little as possible to reduce split ends and breakage, but also just often enough to keep my hair from matting up into a rat's nest lol. For me, that's about once a week plus sleeping with it up, so it doesn't rub against my pillow when I turn and cause friction and tangle. When my mom was a teenager, the common idea was that brushing your hair 100 strokes on each side was healthy. I remember my mom's surprise when she came to me saying they'd actually discovered brushing was damaging to hair. When I brush my hair, I start with the ends, then the middle, then the roots. It's a lot more gentle (my daughter has hair to her backside and does this too, she loves it because it's not as painful to brush out).
For oiling, I use about a dime-sized dab of oil on my fingers (My hair is about bra-strap length), then warm it in my palms (rub your hands together until the friction starts to generate a little heat). I concentrate mostly on the ends first, which are the driest, then massage the leftover into my scalp and work the oil through the sections of my hair with my fingers. it doesn't leave my hair greasy enough to need anything covering my pillowcase (my hair naturally tended to be on the dry/curly side, so it really soaks up the oil). If you feel your hair needs more of a heavier oiling treatment, I'd recommend using a sleep cap or one of those heat caps that you can warm up in the microwave (gentle heat helps the oil penetrate the hair shaft, but you don't want to use hair dryers or straighteners etc cause too much heat can damage the hair).
Take care! :)
@@KE-hr4sb

My hair is over knee length, and I do not use keratin. I treat my hair very gently.
Wow! Do you use heat in your hair? What tips do you recommend to grow long hair? Thanks in advance.
@@goldcherry103 I use no heat. Women that grow their hair super long usually opt for updos and buns, but I prefer braids myself. A lot of the flowy and loose hairstyles that are popular are not really conducive to growing your hair long because these create mechanical damage with repeatedly use. Years ago when my hair was mid-back length I would occasionally wet my hair and sleep with it in curlers to get the curled look, but I stopped doing that because it caused tangles in wavy hair. I just prefer braids, and think these are beautiful because these are protective and can be versatile.
Same! No heat, almost no products and usually in braids. Mine is also knee length and shiny pretty.
@@tiffystrangebirdbrown6844 That is awesome
If that's your profile, then that's proof! Your hair really is long!💙

A lot of Victorian long hair photos were hand edited by the photographers
But did some of them actually have hair that long? Or was it rare?
@@S0M3THING of course. They literally never cut their hair. For alll their life since they were born.
@@beatriceladouce965 really?😮
@@beatriceladouce965 not everyone can have hair that long though
@@alelo3827 women back then kept their hair up all day in braids and buns, then around bed time they would take it down and gently comb out their hair. By doing this, they moved the oil from their scalp down their hair and removed any build up. Rich woman could grow their hair out, poor woman would cut/shave it and sell it. Sometimes people would forcefully cut poor woman's hair to make money off of selling it.
Important to remember these techniques were created in Europe around specific hair types that are common/native there (wavy to goldilocks curl). Also, they didn't really care about frizz because they wore their hair up most of the time and always in public. Basically, if that's not your hair then this is not designed for you.
Wich clearly is not her type.
I been sitting here this whole video like "comb my hair DRY?"
@@hermitofswords Yeah, right!? Come on!!!
@@hermitofswords When hair is straight/wavy you can't comb/brush it wet or it will just snap the hair off at the knot. Because the hair is straighter it will naturally want to return to it's original shape if teased out of a knot. By making it wet you're just setting it into a knot like you would set a curl. In yr9 I once combed a fist sized matt out of hair that I could only describe as 3ft Capellini that needed slowly untangling like a ball of wool. It look 1.5 hours. If it would have been wet it would have been like combing perished rubber bands.
@@rsmith6366 Yes, I have pen straight hair if I combed or brushed it wet I'd start to bald
I WISH I could do this!!! 3 weeks??? That would be great. I’ve been washing my hair every other day since I was 21 and before that, EVERY day. I know nobody cares, but I just wanted to join the conversation! I would give almost anything to go that long without washing. Thank you for sharing. I never knew that option was out there for anybody!
switch to a natural conditioner/shampoo and try increase by a day per week. if you wash more often your hair will make more oil to compensate! so you can train it back to washing once a week or so
@@jem9961 thank you for the advice! My mom is horrified, but I am determined to reduce the number of times I wash my hair each week. Do you mind sharing the brand of shampoo you use? If that’s not allowed on here, I will send my email address. Thank you!
@@chrisleigh485 i personally use Maui shampoo & condition in the curly hair range (might only be available where i live though) but anything that explicitly says it does not contain sulfate and silicone will work! sulfate strips the hair = more oil, and silicone messes with the natural oils/hair coiling!
and using a boar bristle brush/horse bristle brush can help extend the days between your washes, as it helps distribute oil that does not reach the ends due to it being curly(I.e if your hair is curly) but works for all hair types. for curlier hair types you can use the brush few days before and on the day you’ll be shampooing your hair. so that at least, the first few days you can go without putting your hair up and showing your curls.
My grandmother taught me to wash my hair once a month with diluted soapy water. The rest of the time I brush my hair every other day, and I would have my hair in either a normal three strand braid or up in a loose bun. ( btw my Oma is Austrian )
I've always loved long hair, but my own had never even gotten to my waist, even though I rarely cut it. Since my office has had us working from home for the past year, my hair is now down to my hips - - - I think it's because I only wash it once a month (or less) and keep it in a braid most days

This video is just precious❤️. Specifically for those who wants to do no shampoo water only method ☺️. It's going to be three months tomorrow since I have stopped using shampoo. Whenever I tell someone that I haven't washed my hair with shampoo for the past three months, the surprised look on their face is real😊. It looks and feels like freshly washed hair and smells just like my skin. I wash my hair only using water. And brush my hair using this method everyday for 30 minutes(well almost everyday 😅). I live in a tropical climate and have thigh length hair so never had the courage to go shampoo less until I came across this medieval hair combing method. And it's going great so far. Never had to face the greasy,flaky, smelly problem that people face with going no shampoo water only method ☺️.
can I ask about the combing and brushing method in between washes...what about if you get a sweaty scalp? Do you still rinse hair with water in between washes or can this be combed out? I heard salt is bad for hair?
@@lauren9373 yes ...

I donot know about the western medieval times . But in India, women had thick long hair . Most women had textured hair and not pin straight and they loved it. They would wash their hair with Reetha or soapnut that produces lather like shampoos. Its amazing in washing hair , body , even utensils and clothes. They'd make herbal oils with almost 10-20 herbs , used alot of kitchen items.
Their hair was long, strong and textured with frizz . If your goal is that , you can follow that .
Otherwise modern products aim in taming frizz that they do quite well. While most wavy/curly or naturally thin hair women have trouble growing hair .
I think one can mix and match methods according to their hair type , hair issues and goals .
Keeping in mind that you'll have to sacrifice one or the other things to get a desired result.
I'm aiming for long, thick hair and im nomore fond of smoothness and frizz free hair.
My hair is beautiful whenever i do CG hair.
People are shocked but when i comb my hair , the same people will say i have damaged hair and that i have to get keratin , smoothening treatments.
It nomore bothers me .

You are so awesome 🙏🏼🌺💜blessings
@AmaraJordan,
My problem, too! That's why I have learned not to use but a 'tiny' amount of conditioner after rinsing under cooler water, and applying 'mostly' on the ends.
Try this protocol on occasion: instead of shampoo put 1/4 c. baking soda in a glass, then about 1/2 - 1c. warmed spring or distilled water, swirl or mix well. Then, prepare similarly using natural apple cider vinegar, and a bit more water, to be used as a rinse.
In the shower, use the BS as shampoo making sure to comb through thoroughly with fingers, leaving on for a few minutes, rinsing well with warm, but not hot, water__then, with cooler water(to smooth down hair cuticles) use the ACV as a rinse using same technique 'combing' thoroughly through before rinsing again with the cooler water. And, of course, towel dry 'gently' before combing and allowing to dry naturally.
It sounds more complicated than it is to do. When I do this I use a glass bottle for each so they don't get too cold before I need them and easier to control how I apply to my hair and scalp. Be careful not to get either in your eyes, that would not feel good at all!
Btw, before I mix my concoctions, I comb(or brush) my hair and scalp in preparation(similar to dry brushing my body) to stimulate skin and remove dead skin cells.
I hope you try this, tweeking the formulas according to length and oiliness of your hair__your hair will feel cleaner and healthier!
🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌🙌🙌😺
I love your accent🥺🥺 it's weirdly comforting because it reminds me of my mom's accent when speaking english (she's Panamanian!!)
Love this I’m gonna try it! I tried ancient technique of protective styles (braiding) my hair so I wouldn’t wash or use my hair dryer or straightener on my hair. After a week it got annoying and I had to take it out. But I’ve been trying to wash my hair less often as it helps it be healthier. Thanks for this advice ❤️
Is there a video on the protective style? If it started for a week, I'm interested!
You should check out the old photos of the Vallejo girls of California (historical). They had beautiful long hair like that and I live the historical photos you used. Beautifully done video. I am going to try it.

Hello!
No offense but curious to know
Here not heated hair means?
Thank you
I still haven't found anyone doing this who has blonde hair... the build up always makes my blonde hair darker and still durty. doesn't matter how much I brush it.
Yes, I would love to know if this works on blonde (wavy) hair. Every time I brush, things seem to get worse. My roots get way more greasy and dark, and my brush gets really dirty too. The more I brush, the earlier I need to wash it (with a natural product, I don't use shampoo).
@@SuperCaraLicious exactly, and I have very fine hair, so it just lays durty on the top, and then it frizzes out at the bottom. It's impossible to make the oil go all the way down.
the darker the hair, the better it reflects lights, the shinier it looks and thus it looks healthy.
@@Mrkva22296 doesn't work for blonde hair. When it darkens by oils it only looks greasy.
Yeah my friend has blonde hair her hair gets greasy after like 10 minutes being outside!!!
On behalf of type 4 hair peeps it’s a hard no. The manipulation involved is enough to have us bald in a month. Beautiful hair n enlightening video tho 🔥😘❤️
I have 4B hair, and I do something similar "but" in the shower under running water. Soak the hair, not just wet it, soak it till its fully drenched, then apply natural conditioner that won't strip your sebum. While under the running water began rinse out of the conditioner while combing first with a wide tooth comb to detangle then I finish up with a very "fine" tooth comb going from scalp root to ends in a downward motion, thoroughly combing every portion over and over to I can feel the smooth waves. I do not separate into sections my hair is all loose, all done under water. T-shirt dry it. Try it you will love it! I do not do it dry, you need the water to help you move the sebum which is waxy down. We as black women benefit highly from moving down the sebum since our coily hair often prevents it from having access to the full hair shaft, unless we help it to do so. Theirs being straight it has more access to move down that's why their hair grows faster so yes the type 4 community needs this in their regimen more than they do. check out @Neki Cakes here on YT, she shows herself doing it in the shower on black hair and the benefits!
@@nnaturalheaven3754 yes perfect 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌺beautiful crown you have goddess
@@CurlyVeil O Thank you so much for your kind words Beautiful! Now that pic actually doesn't show my coils cuz its a blow-out (its just one of my favs😊) but yes this technique has truly helped my coily hair so much, I just had to tweek it is all, that's why I came to watch, lovely video!! I was just hoping to share with Arewa that it works for us too! Thanks for great content!
@@nnaturalheaven3754 If your sebum is waxy and thick, you might try clarifying it with distilled water with enough vinegar in it to bring the pH down to 5 (the best pH for your hair). The distilled water is soft, and so removes minerals and other impurities from your sebum left by hard water from your tap. So it leaves it soft, smooth, and thin. And with the correct pH, this of course helps to smooth down the hair cuticles too. It sounds like a great technique for your hair type!
@@callmeswivelhips8229 I've tried vinegar before but my main problem is I hardly produce any sebum at all. Not just my scalp, my face never gets oily, I must use moisturizers or it gets tight. So I have to workout hard, ie High Interval Training to get my scalp to sweat hard to move the sebum out and the water in the shower while combing gently to move it down. Being my scalp is so dry, it may just be coming out too thick when I do actually produce a little and not thin enough as others who glands are more active, so I will try to revisit the vinegar to see if it helps its fluidity some, TY!
Cool video! I have wavy hair and I like to gently brush my hair on day 3 before refreshing it. I have quite an oily scalp and brushing really helps me as I don't have to wash may hair as often! Also I love that you included your grandma! Mine also taught me some stuff like doing beerrinses on my hair 🙈
🙏🏼🌺💜
Grandma has no grey! Wow!
It’s obviously dyed. Her hair is still amazing.
I love this video, because you are right! Those women back in the day didn't have serums and conditioners, and keratin treatments, they had oil! That's what they had!!! Some of them even used bar soap, and their hair was the most beautiful of all!!! My mom used to oil my hair when I was younger and always had my hair pulled back, either in braids or one braid or ponytails. Now as an adult, wearing my hair loose, oiling does not work as well for me. Maybe the braids kept the oil doing it's job right. Braids tend to keep the hair untangled. When I use oil now I find the hair does NOT detangle smoothly. I do better much better with conditioner and dampening the hair, and combing it through. The oil and conditioner detangle very differently. Although oil is probably a better, the more natural and similar to sebum method. I always need to detangle first THEN use oil. Conditioner does cause more buildup than oil, oil belongs more naturally in the hair. Not sure what it is, maybe because I have very dry hair, (I don't seem to have any sebum) but my hair tends to be too tangly. But every time I want to do an oil treatment the tiny tangles at the bottom of the curls seem to get worse. I feel like I am ripping through them. I have to detangle first then oil...not oil then detangle! I love your tee shirt ...the art is so cute, and what all of us Curlies aspire to (healthy curls with length) You should put links to the bamboo brush/ comb / t-shirt etc! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!! Blessings!!! ☺️ 💗🙏🌺
Long hair ALWAYS stands out because it looks beautiful ❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💜💜💜💜💜💜🤍
Your grandma’s hair is beautiful 😍
Your accent is so soothing ✨
Very interesting technique! I've been water only for years. At times when I'm too lazy to wash my hair, I just do something like this. It works to keep your scalp free and clear of debris and sebum for sure.
🙏🏼🌺💜awesome
Excellent tips and techniques. I love to use jojoba oil as well as argan oil on my hair. Keeping the strands hydrated makes such a difference to the health of long hair.
Thank you beautiful forborne support 🌺 join my hair community at www.naturalhairhealing.com
Thank you so much you sound like my grandmom made my heart smile! God bless
So sweet 🥺🙏🏼🌺thx so much goddess 🙏🏼
I've been growing my natural hair for 13 yrs, it is to my knees and about 3 ft long. I only wash it about once a month but I rinse it with water more frequently and as needed. I dont use any hair sprays, mousse, gels, oils or leave ins. I have never permed, ever, but Ive colored in the past, though not in these 13 yrs. I almost always keep it braided and pulled up. I use a wide tooth comb every couple days to detangle, smooth, distribute sebum and remove debris (dust and cat hair mostly). I usually have cut it off every ten yrs to a bob for good regrowth but instead, I wont waste the opportunity to have Barbie mermaid hair first. Tomorrow, I am bleaching it and dying it pink, purple and blue. Later, if its "ruined" I will go with a short red bob before starting on a new ten yr growth pattern.
No keratine, and no growth or staightener or any "fancy" product. No brush, only comb. I do like rosewater mist.
Thank you! And Ive done it! I took the big plunge. After two bleachings, Im now sitting here with the colorful dye on my hair! I am so jazzed about this! I just cannot wait for the results. It's "bye bye" to my trapped in the house 'Rona blues and "Hello" to my purple blue mermaid hair! I will keep using these same hair care methods that have been working for me for years, less product is usually better. Love you sis.
So glad to have found this video! Doing no poo water only and the sebum build up is driving me crazy. Can't wait to try your method
Wow my hair is 40% gray at 54. Grandma show me your ways! 😢 beautiful hair. I’m going to try to stretch my washes out but I have psoriasis flair ups sometimes.
Embrace your crown and your energy, how beautiful and sexy looks a goddess with her natural grays 🙏🏼🌺.
But check your healt and life style... are you taking zinc, coper, b12?
How is your sleep? Use only vegan shampoo there is a good brand: ACURE 🙏🏼
Try to give up dairy, it helps
Omg your video was recommended to me by chance and I kept thinking to myself, "from where do I know you??"
And it's only after 5 min in that I realized its from Instagram! Girl I love your whole vibe! The all natural, back to inner feminine power and love damn! I subscribed immediately! 💕
Love you 🌺🙏🏽
I just have to say thank you so much. I knew there was a better more natural way I just couldn't remember all the steps. You are an answer to my prayers today.
“That’s a second job” 🤣 I have grown mine out from the pixie you see there and yes. I now understand.
Because of your hair type, your hair is dryier, so of course this method works perfectlly for you
1800's may be a "long" time ago but it's not medieval era in the slightest. The medieval era ends like in the 1500's when the Renaissance begins. So like 300 years prior... If people can take photographs of themselves, it's clearly not Middle ages...
I think the method itself is medieval and pre-dates the 1800s. I think she was just confused about what period it was.
Came here to say the same thing! :)
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. I have transitioned to natural hair products and can now go 7 days without washing my hair (against washing it every two days before that....). I'm looking forward to trying this technique.
Your hair looks so beautiful at the end!
I only wash my hair once a week. I found that’s the longest I can do without washing my hair. It took so long for my scalp/hair to get used to it but it has made such a difference
🌺🤍
..So hot n humid..hair becomes
sweaty..n greasy..I dont feel
Fresh if not regular wash..
Cant stay..
Great job on your hair, sorry but this wouldn't work for my 4c hair. I can only imagine what hair loss would happen when I use that fine-tooth comb/brush on my roots. 🤔
You can do it with your fingers and twist your beautiful crown 🙏🏼🌺
😅
i have 3a hair and was thinking the same thing, i’m intrigued tho 😭
@@kaithleen3872 beautiful if you hair is too oily: is dependent of different factors:
Washing the hair too often? Using hot water? Putting too many products?
You can use your finger to pull down the good oils from your scalp
Down to your strands, it’s the best moisturizer for your hair
@@kaithleen3872 check my wash day routine 🌺

I love the technique! My hair is very long, something between butt and mid-tight length, I wash it once in two weeks. It definitely saves me some time - it takes many hours to dry my hair after washing. I comb and braid it everyday before going to sleep.
You and your grandmas hair is amazing! I’ve been growing my hair for four years and looking for more tips to grow even more
Thank you so much 🙏🏼💗 sending you love
You remind me of my mother, who when I was a child, always gave me those tips how to take care of my body and hair :)
Also, you have gorgeous hair and I really love your black colour! Your grandmother is beatiful :)
I love your soul 🙏🏼🌺💜my God bless you 🙏🏼thank you so much for your kind words
That’s crazy I do this method out of boredom 🤣no wonder, I’ll wash at least twice a month. This actually works and it’s also good for wanting to stretch the hair so the oils/ natural oil goes straight to the ends
Yesss Goddess🙏🏼🌺🙌🏼
You have the same accent my mom does and it's so comforting to listen to
Thank you for including the images of the beautiful Caribbeans
Thank you so much i just tried this technique on my hair was skeptic at first but actually it works wonders and no breakage .. ! I used a wide tooth comb as you say a Denman natural bristles brush and the comb .. 🎉🎉
i love it when she say the word "natural"
😊🙏🏼💚🌱
So I don’t even need hair cream and all that extra stuff? Cuz I heard most black hair products can cause breast cancer but I feel like I absolutely need them. Thanks for making this video. So simple.

I dont shampoo my hair anymore. But I have a silicone free conditioner that is formulated with shea and argan oil- it does have conditioning agents. No formaldehyde releasing agents. I just don't think I could give it up.
Oh my! You are so freaking cute and your grandma is adorable!! 🤍🤍 You both have beautiful hair. Very nice video. 🤍

This works for type 4 hair. It’s called oil washing hehe. Love it✨✨

Finally a long haired curly girl talking about hair care! 👍 Including what brushes to use. The boar's hair brushes that most videos use don't get through my hair. I also really love that a different brush is shown here to get to the scalp. I've always wondered how to get to that since normal brushes don't get to mine. I haven't read the about section yet, but I'm hoping there is a link to buy the brushes.
I also really love that you addressed the smell. No one seems to talk about that. I have had dairy and sugar all my life and have just recently given up dairy. Sugar is going to have to be the next to go. (I already don't eat meat.) I didn't realize that was what was causing the smell. It makes sense, though.
What about spices? Will eating things like onions and garlic make our hair smell, too? If so, I'll give those up, too.
Thank you for this awesome video! 💖
Processed sugar gives me terrible body odor.
@@cfoster6804 Interesting! I wonder if it does that to me, too. I've noticed that garlic or onions or processed microwavable dinners make me smell awful. I still do smell some even without that, but I also added whey protein back into my diet. I do have a little bit of sugar, too.
Funny enough, my hair doesn't smell at all anymore. I haven't been shampooing at all. About twice a week I've been washing it with only Head N Shoulder conditioner. And I comb well in the shower. But that's it. And the scalp smell is completely gone. 🤷♀️
When i stopped dairies for the first time in my life back years ago, my hair Indeed stopped being greasy and smelly! That was an encouraging experience! Sugars burns in mouth After a few days stopping it. Meat decomposes quite unpleasantly as well in my intestine. Many repercussions occur at all levels in the body de CAN experiment.👏
@@florencemadeleinecrivello9760 Mine has stopped being greasy now too. Now that I eat almost no meat. And now that I almost never use actual shampoo. Just a cowash and really good combing in the shower about twice a week for me now. My hair seems to be most happy with that routine.
I love your grandmother's hair. This was very informational. Thanks!
Thank you beautiful for the support 🩵✨ by the way a new video just went up today,self care tips and hair growth tips
New video czcams.com/video/496OZvwRxAk/video.html
My hair is so fine that if I added more oil than natural my hair would be pasted to my head! I wish I could do this
You can do this! Thinner oils like jojoba, argan, and marula oil to name a few are great for thin hair. I personally use a small amount of marula oil as it doesn't weigh down my hair or make it look greasy
I use argan oil for my super fine blonde hair. I've used jojoba oil as well, but argan oil has worked the best for me. My hair is shoulder length, I split my hair down the middle and use two drops per side, focusing mainly on the ends of my hair. I usually just use it to calm the frizz, but I've also used it as a hair mask that left my hair feeling heavenly.
Hermoso cabello. Dios te bendiga. COLOMBIA
the best oil is natural hair oils. your hair is really amazing.
Thank you so much goddess 🙏🏼🌺
Im obsessed with the way you talk you make me so happy
I have curly hair. Dry brushing like that breaks it and causes frizz. Can't do it.
Try this method
czcams.com/video/uy5DBidSrAQ/video.html
Use naturalicious clay wash and in between cleanses, just rinse, finger detangle, massage scalp under the water and apply shea butter and castor oil to your hair. Curly hair needs oils.
I would suggest watching a curly hair channel. DONT EVER COMB YOUR HAIR DRY 👍🏼
@@thetongueofangels1882 Hence my saying " can't do it".
@@pheenobarbidoll2016 ,
If you really pay attention to the very beginning of her video, she is not brushing or combing dry hair. First, her hair is damp from the shower; then, she applies oil, THEN, she brushes and combs thoroughly through__even spritzing with spring water afterward.
Hope that brings more clarity to the process. 💖🙌🙌🙌😺
I struggle with not washing because my hair gets so oily in just one day! I started rinsing with red onion juice but maybe I need to try this brushing technique as well.
The more you wash your hair, the more your body will produce oil to compensate for it! Try washing it every 2 days for a few weeks, then every 3 days for a few weeks, etc. This will give your body a chance to readjust the oil production!
@@mcd08 Im on day 4 now! Lol I also just learned about the concept of refreshing your hair so this is what I’ll be trying today. Thanks for the tips!
@@brokeazzbeach3648 I trained my scalp in the same way a few years back. On a bad day I would just wear a hat and each time I went longer and longer without washing. I went from having to wash every 3 days to once a week and its great! Also when I do wash I shampoo twice.
@@JustLetMeFly94 I will try this out. I’m also trying to only use cold water to wash my hair in the sink. Lol I can’t do this in the shower.
@@brokeazzbeach3648 washing long hair in the sink can be a pain, so I got one of those handheld shower heads. It feels really nice to run a lot of cold water over your head only, especially when you have a headache.
Beautiful ❤
What should you do if you exercise daily and you get sweaty?
LOVE this video!!

Hi there, your hair and your grandma’s hair is gorgeous ! And I was hoping if you could specify what kind of brushes and combs you use or send links? I would like to try your technique (:
You are so naturally beautiful
Thank you so much Angel 🌺🤍🙏🏾
Wonderful video
Thank you so much queen 🙏🏾🤍😭
there's an old saying where i live that says 100 brushstrokes a day will keep your hair beautiful.. i guess they were right all along^^
Actually that much brushing is damaging. They were just trying to spread the grease. Better to shampoo & add olive oil at the bottom. I surely can't walk around itchy. I mean, your scalp gets as greasy as your face. Its really washing your scalp. I have hair like her & yeah, its work.
@@mickibirch3571 yeah you're right but i guess it also depends on the type and quality of the brush one uses, but sure i wouldn't want to go about without washing my hair for multiple months or so^^ but i do think humans could techinically go with washing their hair and body with only water... or we could try and lick ourselves clean like cats hahaha who volunteers as a tribute? ehrm i mean guinea pig?
I'm on board with the rest of it 100% and am up to 2-2.5 weeks between washes, but you'll have to pry my dairy products from my cold deceased hands. I don't think my hair smells because of it either. Might be because I'm blessed to be a non lactose intolerant adult.
never giving up dairy!!!!!lol
Your voice and your hair are both beautiful. I am going to try this right now. I wash my hair about every 10 days and have done so all my life but it would be great not to have to wash it at all!
