Why do I wash my hair with gloves? I just don't like the feeling of product and shed hair on my hands plus it stops my nails snagging on my hair.

I love your hair, your skin color , the way you do you makeup and your accent OMG I just love you very much
Aw thank you so much 😭
Your experience with cheaper products is a blessing. There are a lot of black women that make the wrong move with cheap products and their hair is in shambles 😂😂😂😂 and honestly someone could have the same experience with expensive products if they don't understand just enough to care for their hair. I have to buy expensive products to get the best quality for the styles I wear and because I have allergies and allergic asthma. I love your natural hair success and I've been inspired by some of your vids.
Thank you! Yes, it’s best to just do what works for your hair
Rachel your hair is goalsss....Much love from Cameroon.
Heyy😊I am in cameroon too, hello sis

I love the creme of nature Argan line, but have just got into making the conditioner and leave in myself for even more savings!
I need to get on this myself to be honest
You're so pretty and your hair is goals x
YOU are beautiful, so so beautiful, Jesus loves you so so much, He wants you to talk to Him, i hope you’re having a lovely day ❤️
Thank you so much ☺️
Pro trick: you can watch series at InstaFlixxer. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Waylon Forest yea, been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)
@Waylon Forest Yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
Your hair journey just keeps getting better and better! Looking beautiful as always! May you please do an everyday easy glam makeup look for beginners?
Thank you! I’ll try to x
I wish cheap black owned brands like Taliah waajid were talked about more in the CZcams natural hair community.
I’ve never tried her products but I deffo need to
Love her products! Going to try more of her products
Taliah waajid is cheap? I didn't know that! It's quite expensive where I live
Girl I am obsessed with your channel! Might need to start using gloves when washing my hair 😭 thanks for this video! I really am interested in the products you shared in ur midweek refresher video tho and they aren’t too expensive. :)
Thanks so much for the video...it's very important for us broke Ghanaian teenagers😊😂
I love Cantu deep conditioner and Africa’s Best hair mayonnaise. For shampoo, I use Trader Joe’s nourish spa balancing shampoo and conditioner. All of it’s cheap. Never tried Mane choice, or Camille rose 🌹 natural cause they too expensive!
YES for Africa’s Best hair mayo !
That cantu deep conditioner is bomb 😂
Love Trader Joe's shampoo and conditioner
Because the ingredients in Mane choice are so high quality you don’t have to use as much🥰 same with mielle btw
The hair mayonnaise is my holy grail!
Girl!!!! I've been waiting...💞
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Awesome video. I only use three products on my hair. I love the Creme of Nature shampoo, ORS replenishing conditioner as deep conditioner and shea butter...don't even whip it. I agree natural products shouldn't be excessively expensive, but to each their own :)
Please do a makeup tutorial. Your hair and skin look great
Thank you! I will try to x
Hey hair twin 🤗 we’ve both got wash n gos today, except mine is burgundy. The only time I splurge is with deep conditioners. Shampoos, conditioners and stylers are a dime a dozen for me-they all just do the same thing. Any time I try to branch out with stylers, I always end up back at old faithful (Eden Bodyworks and diy gels).
Eden bodyworks is so underrated 😞 And I actually miss my burgundy hair 😭
The Gloved Natural
I completely understand because it is a very nice change. I was worried it wouldn’t be worth it without using bleach or developer, but I’m really glad I finally took the plunge.
Omg, first to comment... Ive never been first in my life lol... Now, on to watch the video!
Lmao ❤️💖
H
Ayy 🥳🥳
Don’t know if you’ve explained already, but can you do a video explaining the concept of layering products to get the most definition
Shea butter has been my all time help in moisturizing and detangling. Just got on the Cantu leave in conditioner recently alongside my diys and my hair is thriving
Aw I’m glad!!
Have been using Cantu Leave in with Shea since transiting .....perfect for my hair. One day may try something different. Simplicity works for me. When I run out can basically go to any store.
You are so right. Your hair is beautiful.❤️❤️ now using the products that work for me. I also use grease. I use inexpensive products and high end products. Both work for me. I also do natural products from my kitchen. I do a ginger and coconut treatment which works great for my hair. I have used the Cantu deep treatment masque. It's good. Thank you for sharing. Love and Light. ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Love your hair ☺️ so, my hair has expensive taste 😂 but it seems to be ok with some Cantu and Creme of Nature products. I just hate the trial and error process lol. Also I am a product junkie and I am really trying to finish all of what I have before I buy more
Thank you......I really needed this video🖤
You’re welcome x
Hi, how does one go back to such hair from blown out natural hair ?
Like the video you did with the heat brush + protectant spray (where the tips are a bit purple/red )
How did you transition from relaxed to natural?
Good Afternoon Beautiful Iam From New Jersey And The Cream Of Nature Moroccan argan oil spray a leave-in conditioner is the bomb 💖💖💖💖
Oh I used to used that too! It’s good
Great tips, loving your look in this video 😀👍💯
Thank you 😊
Hi Rachel
I know you dont do kids hair but some of the products you use look friendly enough to use in their hair. Could you recommend something that you have used that is mild and detangling. Such as shampoo conditioner leave in and butters. Please. The African pride thick leave in and the liquid African pride leave in worked a treat on my hair on my hair.
Gorgeous hair! I’m a fellow UK girl and followed you from your relaxer days when I had relaxed hair too, I am just set to big chop and very interested as to what length your hair is now over 2 1/2 years on from your big chop for guidance! It will keep me in the road to success :)
I've been trying to find more UK hair tutorials. Have you got any recommendations
Your hair has groowwwnnnnn 😍😍 I loovveee it
Thank you!!
I am at the stage where I am SLOWLY figuring out what works for my hair. So far I've discovered that my hair:
- (loves)Creme of Nature Argan Shampoo,
-(loves) D.I.Y Deep Conditioners (still looking for cheap DC, in case I'm having a lazy day)
- (likes) Cantu Argan OF
- (loves) my Shea Butter w/ additional oils
-Wild Growth Hair oil is BOMB for the scalp
how do you wear ur hair
Try out crece pelo deep conditioner masque. It's 16oz, cheap and moisturizing.
aussie 3 minute miracle moist deep conditioner with avocado oil and autrialian jojoba oil!!!!!!!!! (has silicones but I dont mind)....slip is CRAZYY
Could you do a hair tutorial for the hairstyle in this video?
Loving the hair appreciate the advice
Thank you and you’re welcome 😊
Your hair looks so good girly!
Thanks boo ❤️❤️
I really appreciate this video, I would love to see more black owned natural hair products. I understand that there’s usually a price disparity but I am sure that there are some budget ones out there, and as much as I am trying to be more budgeted with spending, I also want to spend with stores that support my community. I think innocent hair care has a lot of products under £10, so if in the future you could do a review of them, that would be amazing x
It’s hard for me to get those kind of products in the UK
The Gloved Natural I’m UK based too, I think there are a few natural hair brands, they are just not as well publicised. I had my eye on innocent hair care, but you can also try Pure Goodness, Kiya Cosmetics, Ivy Wild (not sure about the prices of all of them but I’ve spotted some inexpensive products for each of them)
Your hair looks so beautiful! 😍😍😍
Thank you Kay ❤️
What did you use to make your intro?
Hey Love! Can you do a wash n go for us for 2020! ❤❤
Quick question here is your hair low porosity or high porosity
I appreciated this.
Your welcome x
New to ur channel, beautiful hair. What is ur porosity?
Unfortunately my hair and my scalp are high maintenance. Lol! My scalp has rejected most conditioners, styling products, oils and butters. Sigh. I'm trying to use only Cantu and Aphogee for my hair and Groganics for my scalp. For extra I have products from my Trichologists, Paul Mitchell Shampoo three for chelating and As I am Hydration Elation for a protein-free deep conditioner. The only DIY I have is aloe Vera juice and rose water for my extra dry high porosity ends. I definitely cannot leave in my deep conditioner. It rubs off on my scalp and causes irritation. Luckily Cantu is always on sale. Aphogee is not too expensive and last a long time like half the year. The chelating shampoo and proteins fee deep conditioner last ages as I only use them every 4-6 weeks.
At least on the bright side you’ve found a good routine that works for you
@@RachealAkua yeah it works for now. I'm sure the menopause will bring some more hair challenges. Lol! I'm 40 next year.
Have you tried an ACV rinse? My scalp was the exact same and I just used a bit of that with some oil and it did wonders for my scalp. Hope this helps ❤️
For cheap products I like ORS replenishing conditioner & the mayonnaise and blue magic grease only. .
I need to restock on that conditioner 😭
What’s the porosity of your hair
No notification, a tutorial of the hair in video please
I wasn't notified 😭😭😭 I follow your advice and love you so much Akua, though I am relaxed I always watch your videos on natural hair and I don't know how many times I have watched your video on how to grow healthy relaxed hair. Question did your pigmentation go?? If yes what did you use. God you are just too beautiful
Oh that’s annoying 😭 I have no idea how this CZcams algorithm works now. And thank you! I appreciate you watching x oh and nope, still have pigmentation 😂
You have a picture of your deep conditioner never heard of the ones you use I would like to see what it look like pls
They’re all linked in the bio so you’ll be able to see it there
Yaaas girl, cute as always!
Thanks boo ❤️
Hey, can you show us your stapel natural hair products 2020? Thank you grat Video :)!
Will do x
Dax and water works fine for my hair
I’m definitely gonna try this one day
Do they still make the African Pride Shea Miracle line? I don’t see it anymore because i really liked the Curl Activating Jelly
Yes they do check on EBay 😊
Yep, check amazon too
Wow lovely
Thank you!
Looking gorgeous I like your hair
I love your video! Please raise the volume on your next video; I want to hear you better.
Oh I didn’t realise. Apologies! I’ll make sure it’s louder next time
Your hair are so beautiful 😍 Hair Twin 🥰
your curls are beautiful
Thank you my lovely 😊
I love your hair
You are so cuteee!!
But your hair though 😵 such beauty and perfection its perfectly thick luscious and defined
Aw thank you!
I get what you're saying about the old products, but in terms of the new wave of products on the market there is a massive difference. Now we have products with fewer synthetic ingredients, the new products tend to be more natural ingredients. Secondly, the newer products soak and penetrate the hair better than the old ones. Also, the newer products provide better slip, which the older ones don't really have, if you're looking to retain length you'll need as much slip as possible to avoid snapping the hair. Lastly, might I add, the new products tend to be black-owned which is also an added bonus for the community, so I think there is a massive difference between the old and new hair products, hence why so many black woman are finding it eaiser to maintain their natural hair.
The crazy thing is I am going to talk about this on my ig with a natural friend
Good timing 😂
Hi I love your hair
Thank you 😊
I stopped using Cantu it hasrubbing alcohol in it isopropyl I think it’s called
I love ur nude lipstick, please do a makeup tutorial
Thank you! I will try to x
What a Beauty! Damn!
💖❤️💖 so pretty 😁
Thank you 😊
My hair unfortunately likes more expensive products. So I save up for two months a sum of money for hair care for my daughters and I, then I do a big splurge on hair that will last for months and start the savings up again. Each week for two to three months. I put a little money in. I do this with all my savings. And this helps me save. The cheapest thing my hair likes is Aloe Vera juice, Aussie conditioners and mango butter. Other than that. My hair likes the expensive stuff. But I find ways to buy them without going broke.
😂 That’s okay, it’s working for you

Wow girl you are pretty
Aw thank you 😊
Heyyyyyyyy!
Hiiiii
Lottabody curl milk ladies x
Do you have low porosity hair?
Also very good!
@@klj7015 I do! It is actually the only lotion that works for me. In addition to alikay naturals leave in only it's at a higher price point
K k I’ve been trying to find a good moisturizer for my low po hair so thank you!
@@klj7015 check out CZcams reviews on itx
The Lord is coming back. He loves you dearly and calls for you to come back home to Him. He calls for repentance and belief in the Gospel. It’s time to fully surrender to Christ. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
So pretty i like you sis
Thank you x
In my country all those products are expensive...you have to sacrifice big time
