30 Day Hair Detox/No Raw Oils or Butters For Hair 

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Congrats! So exciting and thank you.

Thanks 😊!

Yea. I'm not gon speak on others 😅 but it's wild to me that I always used shampoos and the buildup would be astronomical.

@@FoAdunni i know this is a little off topic . but i have horrible memories of being in like high school and i would use eco styler every single day & then i had the audacity to co wash my hair and there would be literal goop on my scalp . i just - lmao i had no idea what was going on . whew what a time .

@@taereecutie97 ahhh. The goop on the scalp. I had that too. I bet that gel was real gummy on your head 🤣

@@FoAdunni it was smh !

So good to hear a positive testimonial. I'll start in a month when I take my braids out. I already have what I need on deck. 😂 I too have never worn a wash n go out regularly. I just want to love my curls too.

Yaaaay! So happy you are loving your curls. And thanks for the compliment 😘

Yea my hair hates that twisting butter. I tried it so many times in the past.

@@FoAdunni I drank the kool aid on that one knowing I hate the cupcake smell of that product.

@@MyeshaB the smell makes me hungry 😋

I've found the same thing. I think it's the Aloe Vera Leaf Juice that dries my hair out; I've found this in other products.

Wow I thought I was the only one who Camille rose almond jai didn't work for me. I personally find alot of twisting butters feel great on application but once they dry, my hair is just left dryyy

I agree! They really simplify things!

Happy things are going great Kathleen!

I bet your hair is so beautiful 🥺

Thanks C Brown!

It really is so beautiful❤️

Thanks for watching Shauna and I am happy things are looking up for your hair!

You always make good points!

@@FoAdunni Thank you! I just want our people to have great hair that’s healthy, easy, and looks great all the time! Black Girl Curls/See Some Curls have helped us so much!

Thank you so much for watching Tiffany! And I'm happy for your success.

What is the ccs method?

@@rachellenewtonrn ccs means cleanse condition style. No extra steps.

Hello Suzette! I'm so happy you identified with the vid and you're welcome. This wave of hair care info is amazing.

I'm so happy to hear it's working for you!

You're welcome! Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊

Congratulations🎉 What are you using for your topper?

I had been going to derm about my itch scalp. It is a waste of time. What products did you used

Yeah what do you use as a topper? What mouse for twist outs?

Yaaaay! I hope everything goes well!

@@FoAdunni Thank you! What's your IG? I'll follow you.

My stylist is Silked By Sonnie, the best hairstylist 💁. I'm so happy for you. The unlearning is an important step.

@@FoAdunni I follow her on IG and I told myself I would go to her for a consultation. I never knew she was trained by blackgirlcurls. I can't wait to make an appointment now. Tfs

@@faith6575 you're welcome!

Hello! Just wanted to update you. I am trying out a new stylist. Tyciana of Just Divine Curls. Sonnie's current price raise doesn't fit my lifestyle.

To freedom! 🗣️

Why not support your husband and son with the 30 day hair detox and let their hair be great too?!

@@Rubyred-rb2fe It’s not that I don’t want them to be great, it’s about letting people come to their own decisions and not forcing them into something that they’re not ready for. He cares for my son’s hair and wants to continue using oils and butters, and that’s cool with me 👍🏾

@ESTHER AWE Yep, mine keep their hair in fades.

Don't let me influence you 😈 I use a leave in for my wash n gos for a very specific reason that would take a minute for me to explain but if I were to use the classic combo of Curly Magic and I Create Hold I would never use a leave in for my hair.

Ehhhh to an extent I can see that but things differ in that the max hydration method is very damaging to my hair.

@@FoAdunni it's still early for me. I don't know how I feel about it, yet!

It's okay 🤗 you have the info you need now

Thank you so much! My hair has a natural glimmer that is enhanced by my healthy hair care practices and the products I use. I know the Curly Magic gives my hair a more pronounced glimmer. Thanks for watching!

Do you have someone to help you with the detox so you'll have clear guidance?

I’m not going back loll. It’s been 30 days for me now. My hair is so soft, and actually moisturized too with defined curls. Thanks for making this video

I was scrolling through my comments and saw this! Hope everything is still going great!

I will do one soon. In the meantime this video is related to my wash day process. ru-vid.com/show-UC9fXRLc-Jg3sLWza8m-nbfw

I have adopted the same regimen. A few years ago we had a drought and water restrictions. Most people then planted all types of aloe. I discovered soap aloe which nobody remembers planting. That's what I wash my hair with or with hibiscus flowers and leaves shampoo. I use oat gel with honey to condition. And use fresh aloe Vera gel to style and I still use a bit of oil on top. I think the trick is to find the minimum your hair needs to thrive.

Yes, I use an organic Henna. I had a bad experience with one brand that they were adding stuff to. I searched out an organic company selling pure henna and tested it out. I found out my hair really likes it as long as I moisturize after washing it out. I’m also protein sensitive. So yea, each person’s individual hair is really different and requires it’s own routine. It’s never one size fits all with Afro hair lol.

My hair doesn't like buildup. For my hair henna is permanent buildup that actually takes away from water absorption or hair hydration. My experience is quite common and discussed among black hydration hair stylists/curl artists.

Coconut fruit powder not coconut oil

@@FoAdunni ahhh ok

Your hair looks super soft and fine, like cashmere. Maybe that impacts longevity? My strands are a mixture of medium and large strands and they have a sort of rigid feel. Once is set my hair is can last a while.

Yep my hair is fine! I think it probably does affect longevity. It’s definitely affected other aspects of my hair care. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of them.

@@UsonePrecious yea it's just an idea, there could be so many reasons. I also think my product combo works well on my hair for longevity and how my looser curls at the crown remain more defined has an impact.

Thanks for watching! It was both. A terrible crispy feel and also at times a very dull look as my hair was caked in shea butter.

So I wasn’t the only one who found that hilarious 😂😂‼️

Whew 😅 I'll get around to it this summer. Give me some grace 😂 wash day videos are very complicated to record and edit.

@@FoAdunni 😂 I can imagine! NP, take as much time and thanks for even considering lol

Hey! I'm happy you like the vids. Yes my stylist recommended that combo for my hair based on the condition of my hair, my lifestyle, and hair characteristics. It may be helpful to ask your stylist if they think the combo will work for you.

@@FoAdunni ty. Had a typo. I’ve already been using them both separately and wanted to try them together. My stylists doesn’t 100% subscribe to the cut it kinky/black girl curl practices and I’m moving more towards those philosophies.

@@Laysplace23 Got it. I will say that it's not a traditional combo. Black Girl Curls leans more towards a base gel like Uncle Funky's and a topper antihumectant gel like I Create Hold. The combo I'm using I do things with my own special flare 🔥🔥🔥 and my stylist likes it so I'm good.

@@FoAdunni yes, trying more botanical based gels. I wasn’t having problems with my hair but I’m all for simplifying and want the best version of my hair. Never was really using raw oils and butters but i have some stylers with them in there so trying to clean up my stash.

Thanks! And oh wow the smell? I think I kinda like how olive oil or almond oil smells.

I would wear a swim cap made for black hair to protect my hair from chlorine or salt and if I needed to redo my wash n go I would cleanse with an appropriate cleanser which may be a shampoo for chlorine or a cleansing conditioner with cleansing agents, condition if necessary, slap a water soluble botanical gel in, and air dry. I would make sure to re set my hair every 2 days if wearing an air dried set because they tend to tangle in comparison to a set done with a dryer, by simply running water through and finger detangling, adding my water soluble botanical gel, and air drying again until I get home and can do my normal routine with my dryer again. Should take no more than 30 min for me.

Great check out @blackgirlcurls for more info

Wow Rina! It's great that you are enjoying your wash day. In terms of a styling combo for your wng I recommend whatever combo your stylist feels best suits your hair characteristics and lifestyle. I no longer use I Create Hold. I use Curly Magic and Mousse Def to style my wash n gos and this combo is very unique to my hair's condition, my lifestyle, and the weather. I hope this response helps.

@@FoAdunni Your response helps tremendously! Unfortunately, there are no kinky cut stylists on the list in the Cincinnati area. I will look independently for one. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond to my questions. And, congratulations on working toward completing your Ph.D. I completed my Ph.D. in 2008 in Clinical Psychology, so I still can fully appreciate the journey. Thanks again!

@@rinawallace1962 Congrats on your degree! Whew yes. It is a journey. Have you tried any stylists' virtual services like See Some Curls. Maybe that will be helpful until you find an in person stylist.

@@FoAdunni No, I have not tried any virtual services. I will look into the options. Thanks again!

She’s smart too well very articulate

I will some time during the summer. Give me a bit of grace 😅 wash day videos are difficult to film and edit.

@@FoAdunni Oh okay thank you so much I'm excited ☺

Shea booty 😂😂😂😂😂 I bust out laughing whenever I say it, Shea no moisture booty

Hi! After all my hennaed hair was cut off in August was when I saw the most significant change.

I timed my wash day and realized my hair was taking way too long to detangle with the Obia. I switched to the Briogeo and I detangled my hair in a little over 10 minutes and was like 😮. I chose the Briogeo one on my own based on my knowledge of formulations. I used to use the Innersense Color Radiance conditioner per the instruction of my stylist but Innersense products are a little too natural and can trigger my asthma and allergies, so I used Obia for a while. I do think I lost more hair during detangling when I used the Obia conditioner in comparison to the Briogeo. But that could all be in my head because my stylist has validated the health of my hair. I make sure to highlight in my vids that my product usage are not suggestions because I know why I select things can be very particular to me.

Thanks 😊!

I don't hair type.

@@FoAdunni I was watching a little of black girl curls and understand now why you don’t. Your hair is beautiful!

Hi Roz! I'm not sure if my stylist did. I know she did a deep cleanse. Also the 30 days Detox is likely different from a stylist saying they provide a detox service.

Yay! Great!

Thanks Monica!

Black Girl Curls teachings apply to twist outs as well. Check out their Instagram and virtual education, See Some Curls for more info. Also the reasons WHY they mainly do wash n gos, such as simplifying your routine, may be helpful so don't write wash n gos off just yet. I only did twist outs before them and I had no idea my wash gos would evolve to look the way they do now.

@@FoAdunniOkay, thank you for responding.

Hi Renie!

Hey Mel! I don't blow dry or straighten my hair but if I did I definitely would avoid raw oils and butters and use a light leave in and heat protecting serum for my hair.

The detox doesn't mention not oiling the scalp but I know BGC aren't a fan of oiling the scalp. Here you can download a free guide on what the detox is www.blackcurlmagic.com/faqs/ by signing up for their email list. The detox is also briefly but not in detail discussed under the tab that mentions the detox. Hope this helps!

I have no idea about women it works for but I can speak on two reference points, my mom and me. My mom has super tiny, smaller than mine, kinky curls that feel like silky cotton and she can use all sorts of things in her hair, including oil and her hair still feels like cashmere. My mom doesn't work to grow super long hair, she has a dope hair cut. In the context of her hair I can see how oil can "work." Oils don't make her hair hard or brittle and cause breakage and she's not trying to grow her hair out so if there is breakage it won't be evident. I gave my mom all my oily buttery hair products. Just about anything works on her baby soft hair.

@@FoAdunni So interesting. I have been natural since middle school and all this new information has been enlightening . I am tired of comparing my hair to others and finally have the key. I can do some light oils for shine when my hair is dry, but styling my hair with heavy butters and creams is over 👏🏾

@@MyeshaB There is something sexy about a light oil mist spray that smells good and adds a glimmer. But I don't use them because the Curly Magic makes my hair sparkle.

@@FoAdunni This is true my hair looks darker when I use it👍🏾

Some women can literally put horse snot in their hair and it would still look fine😂 My sister has 3c/ 4a hair, bleaches it, perms it, dyes it some more, uses henna, dyes it some more and never has an issue. She also only uses tubs of shea butter as far as her "moisturizer". On the other hand, I could never. Women put chalk full of chemicals in their hair and some will be fine. Those very same women however would probably reach even more amazing hair goals if they at least did the 30 day detox and got to know their hair without products that build up. My sisters hair is fine and beautiful but it would probably be BOMB if she stuck with a clean hair care regimen.

Hi Rachelle! I was taught by stylist that gels aren't for slicking hair back. They instead recommend a setting mousse such as The Doux Mousse Def. You may want to ask a stylist for the exact instructions on application, like should the hair be damp or wet what sort of tools are involved (like do you use a scrunchie etc).

@@FoAdunni Thank yo so much!

Not the good foot 😂😂😂 My hair always has a glimmer because of its texture and the products and techniques I use. It's always there but does become less apparent based on how much I rough up the wash n go working out, being in a drizzle, etc throughout the week. Also I know everyone's hair is different. Some people's hair no matter what won't have luster and their hair can still be very healthy.

I used Kinky Curly Come Clean to clarify. I actually don't have a moisture shampoo but I know the Black Girl Curls stylists recommend the Innersense Hydrating Hair Bath.

@@FoAdunni thank you 😊

Hey! When you say similar what do you mean? And it has good enough slip for me but I highly recommend using whatever conditioner your stylist recommends.

Hi @@FoAdunniI mean is it like ag, obia, or innersense to you?

@@thecure3982 I remember that AG Boost and The Innersense Color Radiance were pretty amazing experiences but I can't remember them to compare them to the Briogeo. I don't use them because they are really natural and can excite my asthma and allergies but to my knowledge those conditioners are highly recommended by Black Girl Curls stylists so if it weren't for my sensitivity I wouldn't mind using either of them as staples.

Hello Black Girl Curls and Hydra Bar do not recommend using leave in conditioners unless it is part of a set like the Curl Mix set or Tre Luxe set.

@@FoAdunni Thanks!! So just water & gel/mousse to moisturize?

@@ChiOfo sounds like you may just be starting out with their ideology. I highly recommend either of these resources or your can search their Facebook pages for free (the info won't be as concise) for them to explain everything in detail. hydrabarsalon.com/virtual-salon 30dayhairdetox.teachable.com/p/see-some-curls facebook.com/groups/ilovehydrabar/?ref=share facebook.com/1730245973921184/ My entire wash day process aids in the moisturization or moreso hydration of my hair. My conditioner and stylers do aid in holding water in my hair. Like for example my botanical hair gel (not a plastic hair gel like eco styler) has film forming humectants in it or ingredients that attract and hold water in the hair.

The official buff website!

@@FoAdunni Thanks for responding! I’m doing the hair detox in anticipation of getting my first curly cut in a couple of weeks. Uncle Funky’s is not working for me by itself. It’s way to fluffy and not giving me enough definition. Does the mousse def still follow the detox rules? Do you have a suggestion for getting more hold? I’m trying to avoid the gels, but I’m like you and I need my hair to look “done”!

@@t1blue there are so many reasons Curly Magic alone may not be working for you. When you go to your curl artist it's best to ask them about what product or products and techniques will give you the results you desire. Also my hair did not start out looking the way it does now. It took about a year for my hair to look a lot less frizzy and it took a year and a half for my hair to be in the condition it is now and also for me to achieve technique and product use to really suit my lifestyle, hair characteristics, and desires.

@@t1blue The mousse was recommended by my stylist as a topper for my hair. Not getting enough hold could be a technique issue and maybe the products you're using don't suit you and your lifestyle. Hopefully you can get all the answers to these questions from your stylist or maybe the virtual info Black Girl Curls offers?

Hello Sheila! Do you have a stylist you can talk to?

@@FoAdunni No I don’t have a stylist to talk to

@@sheilasmith6347 if you can I recommend the black girl curls digital services, the link is in the description, in the meantime I'll try to help. Keep in mind I'm an expert at MY hair, I'm not a stylist, and I used to work at Sally's where they gave us a bit of training on hair consults and cosmetology. What is the condition of your hair do you have any sort of damage to your knowledge, how long have you been using better quality products and shampooing every 7 to 10 days? How are you drying your hair, a hooded dryer, diffuser?

@@FoAdunni I really appreciate your recommendations & assistance to me. The condition of my hair is that I am growing in my gray hair (salt & pepper) & I (was) balding in my crown area, but it’s slowly growing back. My number one complaint was dryness until I started the 30 day no oils or butter detox 1 month ago. I’ve purchased the Innersense shampoo & conditioner as well as I create hold to use on top of UFD gel. I shampoo every 4-5 days. I planned on being consistent with what I did during my 30 day detox. I also just clarified and see & feel a BIG difference with my hair. I just really need to find someone that cuts natural curls for a shape. It’s in a grown out tapered cut..I will look into the black girl curls digital services. Again thank you for reaching out❤️….

@@sheilasmith6347 sounds like you already have a great plan. And I'm sure you can ask your stylist about styling issues.

Okay disclaimer: Using a leave in is unique to my hair and how I apply products, if your stylist recommends not using a leave in follow their instructions or speak to them about how you would like to use a leave in. Okay so your question, I use a leave in for many reasons, one of them being I don't apply my Curly Magic in the shower to soaking soaking wet hair. I apply it outside of the shower so my leave in prevents my hair from drying out more than I would like as I work the Curly Magic into each section. I apply CM outside of the shower because I noticed that my topper (The Doux Mousse Def) works better on my hair when it's damp and the CM wasn't applied to soaking wet hair. My routine deviates from what I was taught and is unique to me and the condition of my hair. Since doing my hair this way my stylist has validated the health and appearance of my hair as satisfactory.

@@FoAdunni Ok thanks for all the info! I also use a leave in for the same reason. I don't wash my hair in the shower so my hair is also damp when I apply my gel. I find that my hair lasts longer when I apply a leave in.

@@felicia_716 You're welcome!

Welcome Sammy and thanks!

Your comment is both unnecessary and incorrect.

@@thenotespace4561 I say what I want to say. This trend of no butters or oils is incorrect. Byyeeeeeeee

@@lanniemobley3131 with what scientific evidence? If you can provide evidence that oil does actually mix with water and is not a water repellent then let me know. I'd be convinced. Send me links

@@keepinitkawaii how do you think water and oil stays together in hair products read ingredients duh....if oil creates a water proof barrier on the hair shaft your hair would NEVER get wet byeeeeee. Give me scientific proof that oil and butter are harmful to your hair. Do what you want to your hair, I don’t care to convince you of anything byeeee

@ESTHER AWE I understand the ingredient that allows water and oil to mix together in products. I understand that water and oil do not mix. Water and oil act differently on the hair strand. Our hair or scalp produces sebum. Oil will not prevent moisture from the air or water to penetrate the hair strand. Bottom line if you wash your hair weekly and properly cleanse your scalp oil can be beneficial to your hair. My hair loves oil and thrives with oil. If oil totally prevented your hair to become hydrated it would never get wet when you wash your hair. Your hair would just stay dry. My hair is not dehydrated. Anyway there are so many more important problems in the world. No other race divides itself on the hair products we choose to use like we do. Natural hair community....I mean really?? Our lives won’t matter to anyone until we value each other. Hair is not controversial. I mean this woman in her videos is acting like she is performing a solemn ritual when it comes to what she chooses to use in her hair. The women from blackgirlcurls are hateful and mean and envious of the success of these natural hair influencers.
