Oils and butters are what brings the softness to the hair and smoothness after you put in the moisturizers or your water spritz. Without the oils and butters, your hair would not only feel harder, even though it is hydrated, but I feel like it would also evaporate faster. The point is to “seal” the hair. You need oils and butters for that. Or at least a gel, which is a good sealant as well from my experience. I know it’s not an emollient , but it does the trick.
I MUST HAVE oils and diy spritzs in my hair. I agree with you they are following influencers that don’t know what they are talking about. Just like people say coconut is good for the hair, doesn’t work for me. Just like people love aloe vera for the hair aloe vera doesn’t really work for me unless I put it in a hair mask with other ingredients.
Aloe vera for me is good for detangling. I’m not sure about it as a hair mask by itself, but I know I use it as a part of a hair mask with other ingredients like you.
Trimming hair regularly makes detangling easier for me so i kind of agree with the 3-4 months trimming,just a little bit of it or even if its just search and destroy method is fine to reduce knots and tangles at the ends
I will try to start finger detailing. I trim my ends often due to the stringy ends and that is the reason I don’t retain length. I usually keep my hair in 2 braids and wear stars practically every day to match my outfits. I should have bra strap hair but it is a little past my shoulder.
Stringy ends are not necessarily unhealthy. The hair at the back of your head should reach lower down your body than the hair at the top, especially if they're the same length. (Like a track-and-field relay, they're not starting at the same point, you see.) You should make sure to keep your ends (over-)moisturized and tucked away from the elements. Also, check for actual split ends.
My trim schedule is actually what made me start my finger detangling no comb challenge. I was feeling the need to trim too often and/or trim more than I preferred. I personally don't like the way my hair looks or feel with stringy ends. So far it's going very well. I gave myself a great trim 6 weeks ago and used a comb for the last time that day.
@Eveningbreeze721 Update this thread around the 3-month mark, if you can. I started an "absolutely no comb" challenge myself a little over 30 days ago. I've seen length retention already, but not really noticing any thickening. Thin hair may be my lot in life, though.
These are so on point 💯🌟 I realise my life has gotten busier so I can't the time for finger detangling that I used to, but I actually miss it. Hope to re-incorporate it fully again by the end of summer.
@@CoilyDiaries by the way I started my channel here on YT & even though hair is not my intended niche I made a video about colouring my Grays & mentioned your channel in it. I had forgotten to tell you. Check out that video when you have some time. It's very amateur 😅, not asking you to subscribe cause my niche is for women in menopause. 💞
Jehovah God the Creator knows what's best for each of us as individuals (Psalm 83:18; Prov 3:5,6; Matt 6:8,9,33; John 17:3; Rev 4:11) Different cultures deal with their hair and view it in various ways. Wherever people are in the world, what's available to them to take care of their hair and scalp they use even if it may be viewed strange in other cultures. What works for some cultures they may have stuck with from generation to generation. When other contradictory viewpoints are made manifest to other cultures and a change in the thought process of how to manage the hair, that's when the trouble begins to rear its ugly head. There are over 8 billion people worldwide and you are a different person in each person's mind, but we are all accountable to only 2 persons-Jehovah and Jesus His Son (John 17:3; Rom 14:12). So if they don't have a problem with how a person maintains their hair and scalp then it's not a problem. As Jesus said "let her alone. Why do you try to make trouble for her?"-Mark 14:6 Thanks for sharing. 💐😀💜🙏🏿👍🏿
My hair needs oils and most of all butters. So I don't listen to the nay sayers. Like u said all of us are different and need different things. Thanks for sharing.
