My opinions & thoughts on anything I feature in my videos are always my own. - Zábava
just a little heads up for my ladies with thin or brittle hair - the lemon juice can lead to breakage in our case :)
I came here to testify! Over the past year my scalp had been breaking out in Scalp itchy patchy scabs that i would comb out and sometimes hair would come out with it. This NEVER happened before. I would wash my hair and two days later it would start developing again. I tried bentonite clay, diacotameus earth and aloe Vera on my scalp as a detox. And even went plant based with my diet. NOTHING worked for a year! So i went on a limb and bought the shakakai powder u suggested... GIRL the dry scalp patches have disappeared. It’s been 10 days and my scalp is the cleanest it’s ever been. It’s finally returned back to normal. THANK YOU so much!
I’m gonna try this. I’m dealing with the same issues. Patchy scabs that I thought was dandruff but no dandruff shampoos seem to work
Im so glad your hair has gone back to normal! It can be the worst truly
Most likely it’s the hair care products
I’ve never heard of scalp detoxing until now! I feel like my growth has been at a stand still so I’m trying this ASAP
How'd you like it? Notice a difference?
U serious😆 detoxing ur hair was always up but ppl don't like it cause it's leave ur hair dry but u have to use a deep moisturize conditioner after u detox ur hair to put back in the moisture. U can use bentonite clay or the one from Mielle to detox ur hair.
I can give u 25% off ur products
U can start using tea rinses for hair growth and deep condition treatments every week or 2weeks.
Was just recommended it. My hair stopped growing (or very slowly) almost 2 years now.
I detox 2 ways also by using baking & apple cider vinegar & oil or I'll use the Benzoate clay mask.
I tried the first scalp detox (baking soda, aloe vera gel, olive oil, etc...) I did add a pure mint tea bag to the other two. My scalp felt squeaky clean when I was done. I shampooed, conditioned and rinse! rinse! rinsed! (some times I wonder if I don't rinse enough to get everything off my scalp.) I sealed the deal with a rinse of ACV and a shot of cold water! Thank you for this recipe!
I subscribed simply because you put time stamps ! We appreciate a Queen that appreciates our time ! Thanks for the knowledge 🧡
I need this in my life! Thanks for the detailed video explaining the process and benefits of each ingredient
Great video for us DIYers. Over the last year or so I’ve been focusing on the health of my scalp and I can tell the difference in my hair. That 1st version looks like the truth. LOVE.
When you have all the ingredients already in your kitchen🙌🏽🙏🏽 #Convenient&Cheap
Thanks for a short and sweet video with complete recipes! I'm going to try this!
Love shikakai!! I add it to my clay washes and my natural ABS shampoo that I make. Lol this vid explains why the first comment I get from stylists when I go to a salon is: your scalp looks really good! Enjoyed the vid! Ion do baking soda, because with my luck I'd be the one who experienced it relaxing my curl pattern (I've read it can do that to some folks).
highly informative & put together well! thank you

Thank you so much, I didn't think that you would respond.😊🥰😍
For how long should I leave it in my head ?
Can I use orange instead of lemon? I can't easily in my area
Thanks for this informative video. Your hair is looks so healthy and beautiful.
What a great video! You have such beautiful hair! I am going to try these on me and my daughters hair.
Thank you for scalp health tips, sis!
I really love the 1st detox Recipe. It was my first time trying it!!!!! I instantly installed French braids and I experienced an instant change in my scalp, the texture of my hair, and most importantly growth!!!!!!! Melissa, you are on to something I can't wait to try the second recipe. (THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME DETOXING AND NOW ITS A MUST)
This video just reminded me that it's been a while since I use Shikakai on my scalp..tfs
Saw a hair detox on dreds. I need one for my damaged hair. Thanks for the tips❤
Glad you made this video cuz I saw stuff about it online and was like huh interesting I wanna know more lol.
I am DEFINITELY trying this. Idk about the Shakaki or whatever but everything else will be easier to find! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Excellent information, I learned something new and useful. New Subbie.
You are just stunning, your hair is the business 😍😍😍😍
Great hair maintenance knowledge. Did you ever have short hair? How long did it take for your hair to grow beyond shoulder length?
Just beautiful🌸
New subbie …. I love your hair 😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰super insightful video
Goodevening and u can also detox ur scalp with Bentonite Clay, that’s wat I usually do once a month ❤️
Definitely!! Thats a great one too!!
What's your opinion on using waterless shampoo while wearing braids or other protective styles? I use natural products and want my sebum to be on my hair. I get braids RARELY been 5 years since last time so I'm hoping I do the right things.
Wow! So beautiful!
Hi Melissa, how often do you wash your hair?
Awesome video, thank you for the information. Def gonna try this!
Please can you provide the Shikakai link you referred to. Thanks.
🥰😘. I'm going to incorporate scalp detoxing.
Good!!! Let me know how it goes! xo
@@MelissaDenise how often should I do this?? Every six weeks??
Awesome video!! I love to mix Shikakai powder, Bentonite clay and Rhassoul clay together for my scalp detox.
Thanks for watching and sharing!! I'm gonna have to try this combo!! xox
@@MelissaDenise Yessss...it's a great detox cleanser combo. I mix in 50/50 water and ACV.
Do you do both detox at the same time or do you do the shikakai at one time and then the other detox at the next 8wks?
Have you ever tried Aztec clay on your scalp? Would you recommend it?
Can the rest be stored in the fridge until the second use?
Hi thanks for the information.
You and your here are super gorgeous
I just wanted to say I've been watching your videos and I really don't remember the one about porosity.
I've been natural for a long time and still cannot make out my hairs porosity would you be able to point me in that direction thank you
Love from NYC
1st time viewer and I love your info. Where can I purchase shakakai? And how do I know if it is going to be 100%
You are such a beauty, and talk about hair GOALS! Great video. Thank you!!!!
Instead of using store bought aloe Vera gel could I use the actual leaf??
Yea in any market for like $1 or $2
I tried the AV leaf and the SMELL to much for me it was awful and it was sloppy working with it. So I signed up for the AV juice 99.8 pure. I pour in a spray bottle I'm good to go, I use in the morning and at night, my hair loves it.
Where do I get the aloe vera gell
Do you do both the natural products & sugar Thai? Or is it, either/or?
Didn’t see a comment about this but, can you store this? If so, how long is too long?
Can you make a video or tag a video about split ends? I grew my hair an inch and I was using design essentials leave in without a cream and just putting oil over it and I got my hair done and the stylist said my ends were bad. I'm always getting braids and she told me that the braids were drying my ends out.
Can you go over steps to have healthy ends? In addition, I was going to buy a split ender by talavera which cuts off split ends only. I had great success with this when I was relaxed but now that I'm natural it may not be as successful. Should I get another one? How often do I need to cut for split ends?
How long should you leave these products in your head??
2:46 can you use micellar water I stead of Aloe Vera gel? It makes my hair brittle
Do you grease your scalp or add any oils after you detox?
Should I wash hair first before using the detox mix
What is step-by-step to get your hair to grow again my hair grows about an inch a year unclog scalp clean the scalp where do I begin
Do you suggest using a hairdryer with the plastic cap?….. heat
Is this routine for it you suffer with scalp issues to begin with?
Is this good for low porosity hair? … anyone pleaseee
Can I use a bentonite clay mask and incorporate some of these ingredients?
Yes u can, this is how I detox once a month ❤️
I am curious what a PH strip would show this mix with the lemon & baking soda to be. It seems very acidic and I know it is important for things on the hair to be ph balanced. Idk if it is different for high or low porosity, but as high porosity I would be hesitant to put this on my scalp especially on all of my hair. I think my raised cuticles wouldn’t agree 😅
I love shikakai though! It’s great.
Scalp pH is 4-5 so on the acidic side, alkaline products tend to be more stripping
I need help, I am in my 50s, I have been shampooing my, cleaning my hair, conditioning my hair, hair hot oil treating my hair, let it sit underage hooded dryer for 30 minutes, I mean wow! I done it all period. and it's still not growing period and I'm eating healthy and right. I guess I just don't have long hair. Help I need answers?
Do you take a multi vitamin sis? May I suggest focusing more on healthy hair, rather then length. By so doing you should retain length. And I also use moringa power which I mix with olive oil and rosemary essential oil, and I use this as a prepoo overnight. It has worked like magic. May I also suggest watching new growth naturals you tube channel. Good luck. Ohhh and don't forget to drink loads of water.
How is your detangling process? Are you rough with your hair? Do you have excess shedding or do you wait a long time to detangle? I’ve found that not having the correct detangling routine can negate other healthy hair practices.
One thing I realized during my natural hair journey is that we're usually too focused on the roots of our hair and not the length. Length retention is KEY. You might want to try low manipulation protective styles that can last really long (ie: mini twists or mini braids). If you look at videos of natural hair CZcamsrs with waist/tailbone length hair that's usually how they were able to maintain their length. I've tried it myself and now I'm actually seeing results!
What are some of your scalp concerns that you would like me to cover?! Let me know!
Can use this for locs thanks
Please address trauma alopecia
Definitely dry scalp
Seborrheic dermatitis
How OFTEN should we detox the Scalp?
Hi, how are you doing? Do you detox your hair with both receipts in one day?
You're very beautiful ❤️. Thank You for the video.
Can I buy it from you?
How often would you apply the treatment?
I think she said every 4 to 6 weeks
I thought the powder was pronounce SHEE-KAH-KAI. Anyways, Fabulous video as always!!
❤❤❤
Can I do the first one without the aloe gel? Aloe sets my scalp on fire...
Have you tried using the aloe Vera leaf instead of the store bought gel because that one is so much better. And when you buy it from the store make sure you cut the bottom of it and let it soak upwards in warm water so the yellow stuff can get out and then just scrape the gel out and use that!
I am so eager to start my natural hair Journey. I'm just not sure I want to do the big chop... I also want to use more natural products on my hair. How did you feel when you begin your natural hair Journey?
I was so excited. Don’t worry too much about everything. Do your research, get to know your hair (hair type, hair porosity, ingredients your hair likes) and go from there. When I began, I did my research and saw products that had ingredients my hair liked, such as coconut, and learned about sulfates, silicones, and the bad stuff in hair products. I saw progress in my hair length (I transitioned for about 9 months to a year) and I big chopped. Then, I wore braids until I had the confidence to wear my hair out.
I grew up with a perm and when I went natural, I made the choice to chop it all off down to almost bald. As a woman, a black woman no less, it can be scary to do such a drastic thing to the hair. What I can suggest is to have fun with it (if you choose this option) by going to the barber and getting it lined up nicely or getting girly designs shaved into it. Cute beanies and hats fit better with less hair, and pretty flower garlands. And hoop earrings pop so much more with short hair. Headwraps are also easier to use. These were ways I would "style" my baldness lol. As it grows in, you'll get to enjoy the journey of your hair from root to stem. It is such a special experience to intimately know each strand's path. You will get used to the short length and before you know it, you'll have a fro out to the sky. Ultimately it is your hair journey so you need to do what's best for you, and whatever that is I wish you and your crown the best 🤎
@@MEAJJEKL I loved my twa phase. It made me realize how pretty my face is. I love cute girls headbands and defining the curls. Twa is not as bad as we think. It's a fun phase to go through
This will be the first time I ever detox my scalp and I'm 64. Should I use the baking soda mix first or the shikakai? Thanks

Is it just me or is anyone else nerves when it comes to using lemon juice in their hair? I don’t know why I’m very hesitant about using it 😅
Don’t use it your gut instincts are telling you this is not good for your hair. I’m definitely not doing this!
If you are scared don't use directly. Dilute lemon juice with shampoo water while hair wash.
How often should U detox your scalp?
I use shakakhai as a shampoo...never even thought of using it as a detox! Brilliant...I don't have to buy anything!
A word of advice: talk about no sulfates fast hair growth shampoo.
I know for a fact this will break my hair off. This is a nope for me! Our hair ain’t no stainless steel counter top 😂 that’s what shampoo is for and if it’s that serious just use neutragena acne wash on the scalp and deep condition afterwards
Fenugreek reverses gray.
Her edges are so full 😭😭...I need some of those edges 😔😔
I've never detoxed maybe I better
Dont look like thumbnail lol😊😅😅😅
The best way to detox scalp it’s wash it with a sulphate shampoo. Wash your hair at least 3 times a week. And don’t apply nothing on your scalp
Can baking soda damage your hair?
Baking soda has a pH of 9, which is far higher than that of the scalp. Using a product with such a high pH may harm the hair. Over time, baking soda can strip the natural oil from the hair, lead to breakage, and make the hair fragile. Baking soda is going to mess up some of these peoples head...tsk tsk. 😂🤣
@@bladerunner9298 IKR 😂 mixed with apple cider ... lord knows 🤦🏾♀️
If they only knew hair is super sensitive to ph. Worst of all is put it in the scalp a few hair hair follicles will be surely destroyed.
DYIs are so bad I really don’t understand why “natural “ hair community is so obsessed about it. There’s no science or secret behind hair growth. Make sure your scalp is clean , use a few products and trim.
@@pamg4174 yep, they don’t understand that there is more to hair than DYIs, products etc. a lot of it is missing vitamins in your body, what you eat and drink, and genetics. Black women can grow long hair if they do less. Notice how black men’s hair gowns long if they let it? And all they do is shampoo, maybe conditioner and grease and thats it and their hair grows. Blue ivy moms left her hair alone and it’s down her back. But folks where up in arms over it😂🤣. Need to know your hair before you do all these crazy things to it. That’s what I learn for my hair to grow to my armpits.
@@bladerunner9298 which vitamins do you take
Are you a licensed cosmetologist if not you shouldn't be giving out advice like that
She is not doing that at all. In the Carribbean we do this. We don't need a dermatologist. Thats foolishness
you don’t need a cosmetologist to learn how to detox hair. that’s like saying “if you aren’t a professional loctiction than you can’t give advice on how to treat locs even tho you have locs and know how to treat them”
A word of advice: look for fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
Thanks I need this information
What’s the name of a fast growth shampoo?
@@khalilahbutler4344 The name Is FAST....
