Hey Curlfriends! Do you have your Natural Hair Care Wisdom Flash Cards to learn more about the best ingredients and methods for your hair type to help you save time and money? If not here's a promo code just for you "Wisdom10". You can get your copy here: curlychemistry.com/product/flashcards/ 🙂
I would also like to add this to your list: stop being afraid to cut your ends. My hair started growing rapidly and looks healthier because I trim it every 8 weeks
Speaking of the scalp…STOP suffocating it with holding gels and edge controls…your scalp health is more important than trying to achieve straighter “part lines”, “slick edges”, etc.
I understand what you are going through. I somehow managed to compare my hair with others the moment I gravitated towards content of creators with the same texture as mine. This has helped tremendously. Instead of comparing I get motivated and somehow assured that even my own hair can reach that level of health and growth. I hope this helps🙏❤
I don't compare my hair anyone's hair because I now know I have 4c high porosity hair. I'm learning that my type of hair is difficult to maintain, breaks easily, falls out, and doesn't grow much, if at all. Knowing that, I have a routine to deal with my hair.
This is why I like the Felicia Leatherwood style brushes. After I finish styling my hair it immediately goes in the sink with hot water and a little bit add liquid hand soap. They're super easy to keep clean if you watch them right after you finish using them. I don't even use this paddle style brushes anymore because I don't want to deal with the gunk. Edit: I started incorporating the acid wash in my shampoo routine and my hair has literally never been softer or more manageable. This week I'm going to start doing an oil rinse also!
I love a good aloe vera juice, castor oil, and shea butter combo for my hair! Doesn’t weigh my hair down, cause I don’t use a lot of the products at one time and it’s super moisturizing for me 😍
Hi Tonya you helped me find my go to ingredients bisaminopropyl dimethicone and behentrimonium chloride and steryl alcohol -- thank you very much for the work you do!
It took me years of self research to find these ingredients (and a few others before I found your channel). Then info given right there in a few videos and I was so amazed. Don’t research anymore just come here now.
Dimethicone. Gives awesome slip to my hair and my kid’s hair. Bad habit of chopping my hair when it gets to mid back. I’m scared it’s going to break off and chop off more than I should. I say I’m not going to do it and it happens everytime😂
I compare my hair journey with others a lot because I really really want my hair to grow. For real I want to not always having to braid my hair. I need it to grow 😭😭😭
Not comparing my hair texture, my hair routine and your daily hair care vlog here and caring from my self inside & out has shockingly incredibly helped me reach a bra length. I was just looking to grow a healthy hair but it's exceeded my expectations & growing longer...and retaining hair length well...Thank you wonderful gorgeous lady🤗🥰❤️❤️
I try washing my hair every two weeks and didn’t work, then try washing it three times in a week and it was too much. I realice that once a week is perfect.
Aloe Vera Gel is my hair's favorite! ❤ She loves it and always performs well when AVG comes on board at any stage of wash day, be it as a pre-poo or as a stand alone or mixed styling product.
I really hope you’re able to see this comment! I absolutely love your videos as I’ve never looked at science in a way to enjoy it, I’m currently using the product recommendations you have for low porosity and my hair has made a huge difference! I do have a video suggestion, over the years my hair has lost its curl pattern, it’s actually gotten looser, or it doesn’t curl at all. Could you recommend some tips and products to help with detox? My mom won’t let me big chop so I would like to give my hair another chance 😊
I get excited when I see Aloe, water certain oils. Question? If a person works out at the gym at 6 days a week how often should they wash and condition? When I was working out like that I had to wash and condition at least 3 times a week bc of the sweat and salt build up on my scalp. It was irritating to my scalp.
After having two major setbacks (dépression, then anemia), it breaks my heart to look at other people's hair and imagine what mine could have been. Then I snap out of it, because there are bigger issues than my hair 😂... Other than that, I reconciled with silicones and grease. My hair thanks me.
I am not familiar with particular ingredients but I do look for products that say sulfate-free. I have very curly hair that gets Tangled easy and I try to find products that have a lot of slip otherwise I would never be able to get a comb through my hair.
I get excited over number 1. Silk or Biosilk in hair products and another number 1. Aqua. I used to buy products just for panethol in them these also had alcohol in some. I can't afford anything never could hence way I never took much time with it(my naps), I never have been able to style my hair.
I clean & my hair tools with ShipShape. 💖 Take my tools, dissolve some shipshape in a sink of hot water, & let them soak for 20 min 💖 Brushes & combs SPARKLING 💖
Hey curly girl! I learn great things from your channel though my hair is dead straight white hair, with some "cow licks" thrown in. I have learnt the error of my ways in regard to conditioning as my hair is pretty fried. Thanks for your channel! :)
What about the stylists out now that are telling us that protective styles damage our hair by having our strands rub against the hair we add in? They say this causes are strands to break and get holes all along the strand. Is this true or possible? Thanks so much for your channel too and for providing a scientific perspective and for having a nonjudgmental space.
I can't speak to any research done on the topic, but I never trusted that kanekalon with my hair. It's devoid of any natural oils and feels so hard! And it doesn't have the same elasticity and natural anti-static properties of real hair either... If I wanted to use fake hair in my braids I would use plenty of leave-in conditioner with lots of slip. After all, some people do grow their hair with fake hair so it's possible.
At least I clean my brushes yay!! I would say since following you: BTMS haha, thanks Tonya. Oh and I have an issue I workout a lot and sweat a lot so 'eed to wash my hair otherwise I get pimples; any advice? ❤️❤️
Hi Tonya! Is it possible to make my hair less glycerin sensitive? There's sooo many products I can't try bc I'm high porosity and glycerin poofs up my hair like crazy 😭
Girl use the okay naturals coconut oil leave in, cream of nature shampoo aloe and jbco, Cantù hydrating hair conditioner, mielle twisting soufflé, and Alaffia Beautiful Curls Coil Sculpt Hair Butter Cream, the new Shea moisture high porosity deep mask.
Hi curly I’m learning a lot from you and I have a question for you I’m a beginner natural I don’t want length I only want thickness it’s really thick in the back but not so much in the front please tell me what I need to do to achieve it and thank you in advance
Do you have any videos detailing how to restore your curls after experiencing heat damage? I did a silk press, and there's loose strains in random parts of my hair, and I am not ready to do a big chop to it just yet. Any advice?
