A Complete Week in My New Hair Washing Routine | Natural Hair Growth Test 

Caribbean women would call "rinsing your hair out," instead of water washing. Example, "When you come out of the sea, don't forget to rinse out your hair with fresh water."

If y'all think about it, a lot of black guys do this already in the shower lol

This wash routine is very easy! Please don't confuse the length of this video, or the abundance of details/information, with a complicated routine. It is extremely simple, but I've learned a lot in these past months and wanted to share it ALL with you guys so you don't make the same mistakes I did! So super long video, but extremely simple routine! Xo!

That was really helpful especially as I am experiencing dryness at the moment. This is something I definitely want to try.

Watch wateronlyhairwashing on RU-vid she is a great lady for information and has been using wage only for over a year. I have been during it for a few months. The more you wash your hair and are able to obtain full sebrum coverage the better. It just takes about two months for full coverage and putting oil on and rinsing it out is great until full coverage.

Whit, I think if you just go back to basics you will find that your hair will grow back to its normal length. I had some horrible heat damage 2 years ago and had to cut off half my hair. I've been natural all my life. I started doing new things that first year to get my hair to grow back fast (co-washing more, deep conditioning more, trimming on a schedule, etc.) I had minimal results. I had rapid growth within the first 6 months this year when I just went back to basics which was braid out and infrequent washing and conditioning. I learned my hair grew best when I left it alone. We look to others who have what we want and copy them to get those results, but sometimes we have to examine what we were doing when our hair was long and go back to that. I love you videos and your vlogs! Thanks Whit!

Yesterday (Aug 1) marked one month of water only washing for me and let me tell you. I have no intention of doing any other method. The tangles melt away in the shower, I'm saving so much money on products, my hair is so soft and moisturized and it took a little less than a month for total sebum coverage. You can't go wrong with this method. Please stick with it and do a follow up to let us know if you plan to continue.

I’ve been doing the WOW method for about 6 months now, with bentonite clay as my cleanser every two weeks. My hair has been growing like crazy, easy to detangle, and so moisturized. I wish I’d seen this sooner.

Hi everyone, I just would like to add that I have been doing this method for a little over two months now, and I love it. Regarding massaging your scalp, it is actually just that. It means that you actually use your fingers to move the skin/ scalp. I hope that this is clear.Try to move the skin not the hair. The sebaceous glands are located within the dermis, and by moving the skin/scalp you stimulate them better. In fact, once I position my fingers on my scalp they do not move, only the scalp/ skin does. Because of that, I have not experienced any breakage at all.. I hope this help, and that I was clear enough. good luck to you all and have fun By the way, dear naptural85, I enjoy all of your videos and is a long time fan. Thx for being you.

I'm so glad to see that you have added water rinses to your routine. I can't say enough about how much this has done for my hair. I have been washing/rinsing my hair with mostly filtered water 5 times (sometimes 3-4 times) a week for 1 year now. My hair is stronger, softer and much easier to manage now. One year ago, I never would've believed that my sebum would be the perfect detangler, styling gel, moisturizer and sealant for my hair. So glad I was wrong. A warm ACV rinse once a month to remove buildup and organic coconut milk as my weekly protein treatment (left on my hair for 1 hour) is the perfect combo for me! Another bonus is that my hair grows much faster now.

Great!, I started this water only washing about three weeks now. And my hair just loves it. Being a 4c/z the moisture retention is amazing. I use my mixed oils and sheabutter mix and the shine my goodness. I also use the coconut oil to deep condition. You are so right on, I'm using no products and saving money. It also has cut down my wash day time from 4- 5 hrs to an 1 hr and half tops. 👏👏

anyone here have issues with their edges breaking off slightly, because of their HAIR SCARVES? I'm starting to think I need a satin pillowcase.I'm joining the chorus of those asking Whitney to PLEASE make a video about re-growing your edges. PLEASE.

I am IN LOVE with water only washing. I've been doing it for about 3 months and it has done WONDERS for my chronically dry, itchy scalp!😁 At this rate, I may be able to loc one day and not be concerned about flakes!😘 Great vid!!!!

Natural hair is so fun and such a life changing and liberating experience, I don't understand why a lot of relaxed girls don't even try to go natural just once to see if they would like it, you never know if you don't try.

The word "sebum" totally grosses me out. I don't why. It just sounds nasty! Lol! Also, I sweat a LOT in my head, so it ain't just sebum up there. It gets all sweaty and gross and shampoo is a MUST for me. But, if this method works for you? Go for it!

Girlfriend, fermented rice water shampoo... You have to try it... water wash and rinse . Seal with an avocado oil and butter.... This is what the Orisha Oya likes

Whitney can you please do Olives hair routine pretty pretty please #puppyeyes

Whitney I have to say this, if you have not start working on your product line please do so NOW. There is absolutely no reason why you should not have a hair product line on the shelves of Target as we speak. great video!

Definitely realized that co washing my hair more often made my hair dry! I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Going to try this method! Your hair is beautiful!!!

The Water Only Washing method is the best I have been doing it for months and my hair is so healthy now 👌🏾

Sup Whitney, I get super excited every time I get notified there is a new video from you. I have literally watched all your videos and was just going through the old ones when this came up. Thanks for sharing. Much love from Namibia, AFRICA

Watching this in 2019 and my my my how times have changed. For the better. Healthy natural hair definitely is a journey not a destination

Whitney, this video was so good I had to come back and take physical notes!

I exclusively did this method for about 4 months last year. I have 4c hair. My hair loved it. My scalp wasn't dry but I did develop "cow licks". I already had issues with bald spots at my crown but I did some research and found out that sebum carries DHT to your scalp if you don't take precautions to not have DHT production happen within your body. So apparently I wasn't eating the right foods or taking the correct supplements and I had this problem. My edges were gone. So this is the only draw back I had with this method. Now I'm clay and water washing doing a lot of GHE for consecutive days at a time and really making some serious dietary changes and my hair is slowly filling back in in all areas. But I think following your guidelines and inhibiting DHT production through diet is key to having success with this method for most people. But as with any regime, listen to your hair and scalp and make adjustments as needed to have a successful journey. Thanks for posting!

thanks for sharing this technique! i will def give it a try :)

Loved the video!! I was introduced to water only washing from BorderHammer. I did research, watched videos and decided to give it a try almost 12 weeks ago. I have seborrheic dermatitis and this has truly been a life changer for me!! My scalp has never been this healthy and happy in my life. I started the method by doing an acv rinse to cleanse my scalp. I literally did the scalp massage, pulling the sebum down my strands, and water rinsing EVERY day for 30 days. After that I now only do the process every 3-4 days. My hair drys so quickly, doesn't tangle, minimal shedding, and I haven't had to use a comb at all...only fingers. I do a bentonite clay wash followed by a deep condition with EVOO & honey at the beginning of the month and I do a henna treatment for my grays, also followed by deep conditioner treatment the middle of the month. This current water only washing method saves me so much time, energy, and resources!

NEW Video is Up!! #ThisTookMeFOREVER!!! #LaborOfLove

THANK GOD FOR WHITNEY!!! You were the first person I watched on RU-vid for my natural hair journey and I was addicted and because of you I am ingredient concious and have techniques down! I just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTENING US AS A COMMUNITY ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR NATURAL HAIR! Like seriously Whitney, like GURL you have saved my hairs life MULTIPLE TIMES! So now that I'm back on a growth journey I'm going to try this and conquer!

I'm "hair" so early 😂😂 yayyy

You are seriously my hair crush! I've been watching you for years. Reason? You follow someone's natural hair journey that actually has successfully beautiful hair! Your tutorials are a breeze and have never steered me wrong!! Thanks to you, I can co-wash with confidence, wash-n-go with ease, and two-strand twist like a BOSS!! You are the best!! Thank you and bless you for all your headvice!!!

@Claudia F you have explained the scalp massage perfectly! You tuber ware to lyhairwashing explains everything perfectly and I think I realise that reading through some of the comments that some of us are not really understanding how to do WOW correctly. It isn't simply about using water only, but getting the 'technoque' right without causing hair breakage etc. Glad Whitney is trying WOW, even if it is a modified version. However, massaging/script ching is what keeps the oil production going! In the WOW regimen, hair was only washed daily as an initiation, then every 3-4 days depending on your oil production or as your own hair responds. Sebum also cleans the bacteria, dirt from your hair when water washing as you are dragging it down and rinsing the old and replenishing with the new from the too of the scalp. Hence, no smelly hair. Research will give a clearer understanding of why this works on ANY hair.

Wow, I am SO excited that you mentioned this method!! I tried this about a year ago, myself. Back then I couldn't find any information on water only washing for kinky hair. It took some serious research and blind luck! Now that you've put the word out there, hopefully there will be more information and tips/tricks for this method once people start trying it. You're water washing method is very similar to what I used to do. I ended up stopping after about two months, but it was great while I was doing it. I made a mistake and it was wedding season which meant I didn't have a lot of room for experimentation, so I (unfortunately) gave up on it. I think you've motivated me to try it again with the periodic cowashing. Thanks Nap!

I have been trying to embrace a more healthy lifestyle avoiding certain foods, chemicals etc and I came across this technique a while back and it just made sense and I love it. I do deep condition at times with bananas/avocado which I learned from you. Great vid.

Thank you so much Nap. I'm going to try this IMMEDIATELY. Also, I just want to say, since i usually watch from my phone and don't have access to comments and therefore never leave any, that you have been instrumental in my journey to natural hair for both me and my daughter. I know that this thank you is years old and long overdue but I really appreciate all the work that you put into your videos, all of the time taking to prepare and ensure they are easy to follow, I appreciate you having a hairstyle for every occasion, you sharing all of your tips and helping your community of sisters to embrace their natural texture which has been so freeing and liberating. You have been a pioneer in the natural hair community for women of color in my opinion and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving so much of yourself and your time. I wish you all the best for you and your family.

I started this a month ago then I realised, ever since my hair passed the one year mark (I'm almost two years natural now) I've been pretty much leaving my sebum to just chill out on my scalp. I have coarse, thick hair in front which graduates to thin as it goes to my nape area and gets finer (I didn't know I had fine hair anywhere on my scalp till about a month or so ago) add heat damage to the back area, a 3hour wash and de-tangling routine, hair unresponsive to anything that is not 100% coconut oil or some other purely natural product and I was so done with my hair. I'd just lazily wash once or twice a month and rinse out product every two weeks or so with water, scritching my scalp to get what I thought was excess build-up off but now know is sebum. I'd always come out of the shower with oily hands and didn't know why. (I wasn't distributing the sebum back then so after a couple of days it just flakes off but under warm water it melted. I used to think it was my scalp flaking off because it was light brown to transparent and not yellow) Well, now the only thing I do differently is distributing the sebum down my strands. And guess what?! De-tangling takes about 10 minutes. I literally do NOTHING! My strands just pave way for my fingers by themselves. Well, this is long.

Over a year and a half of incorporating water only and oil rinses into my hair regimen and still loving it! It's the best thing I could have ever done for my hair and my wallet!

You look so beautiful!! You're my hair crush lol

Thanks for showing this method. Ive actually been trying a similar method to this one. I split my routine in weeks just because it works better for my schedule. Week 1 clarify/deep condition and style. Week 2 water wash and style Week 3 water wash ( 2×)and style (my hair is usually really oily this time so i water wash twice this week. Week 4- co wash My styles are usually twist, twist outs and bantu knots. With twists i can easily massage my scalp and run the sebum down the twist. I cant wait to see your length progress, and your hair look super healthy and super shiny 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

OH MY GOOOOODNESS!!!! I just started water washing last month. Hilarious. I love it!!! My hair is soooooooo moisturized now.

I have been doing the water wash only for a couple days now and I was extremely skeptical about it, but you, being my FAVORITE vlogger, hopped on the train and it gave me all the reassurance I needed!! Thank you!!

"All my life I had to wait.." FINALLY! Haha loved this video Whit! 💖

You aint neva lied!!! My scalp has always been so much more moisturized and I love that this video sheds light on how I can use that moisture for my poor dry ends. I massaged my scalp while watching the vid and got a lot of sebum just like you said! I love this vid thanks!!

***** i saw that quick message at 5:56 you not slick lol, Love the video gonna give it a try.

I do not mind the length of this video for it is super informative. Whitney, you are wonderful. I've been following you for years and you've never let me down. I completely trust you with my hair for you know what you're doing... I'm going to try this new routine and I will share my experience with you. Thanks again, sending love to the entire family! XO

I spent too long trying to pause the video at the right time to read that message about pouring conditioner lmao!

welcome to the WOHW world Whitney...Ive tried it for 30 days about a year ago and loved it, but my hair was much shorter...once I get more length I am thinking of returning...my hair did really love it!!!...and I had less hair fall out from it too...that really amazed me!

Love your vids, and yes as an African from Zimbabwe growing up we only used to wash with just water and at times soap and my hair was always shiny and never itchy, unless of course one has an already itchy scalp. Good times, am defo going to go back to that easy way of taking care of my natural hair, thanx for inspiring me again.

I have been watching water only washing videos all weekend. Today, Sunday I talked myself out of the WOW routine. Getting ready for Monday i decide to watch RU-vid videos. And here you come with you modified WOW routine. Need I say that you have just changed my mind. Your hair is beautiful and I love your informative videos. Which was not long in my opinion. Thank you. Have a wonderful week.

Oh my goodness I just saw you on the commercial for Shea Moisturizer! you have such an amazing smile, please smile the next commercial! congrats on your commercial 😃😃

I tried this method for a week, and LOVE it!! I will continue doing this method. when I used to wash my hair lots of hair fell out but now it's just crazy results!! no hair. ... thank you so very much for this method.

Hi *****, I thought the goal with washing with water only was to get full hair coverage of sebum to your ends. With other videos I have seen with girls doing the water only washing routine said it took about 2-4 months to get full sebum coverage for their hair. Yes, the water does help the sebum travel to the ends, but i thought the goal was to have the sebum stretch as far down to the hair shaft as possible naturally, to help elongate, and to define our natural curls. When you do the co-washing to takes it away so you don't get the whole sebum coverage the girls were talking about. I know you said you didn't want your hair to get weighted down and dull and you didn't want your hair to start producing less oil than it already it. I'm wondering maybe you could co-wash just your scrap without removing the rest of the sebum from your hair. I know this is still your theory, but i wanted to make that suggestion to you for you to try. I am also going to start doing the water washing as well especially the way you said it, but have my water washing periods go a little bit long before I co-wash. I have a ashy natural brown hair color and my hair doesn't shine like yours unless i have it DRIPPING with oils! So I'm gonna try to water washing a little bit longer and see my results.

I've been doing this since last year! I workout/run at least every other day, but washing my hair every day was not good for my hair at all. I switched to washing twice a week (still a three day cycle): Wash Day 1 - I clarify, then deep condition, because this is usually my most heavy workout day (including doing some good ole power yoga while DCing). This is also the time a week I will use a comb or denman brush to detangle , and I try and time this wash day on a Sunday or Monday Wash Day 2 - Water wash all the way. I usually finger detangle before getting into the shower, then use a method similar to the one in your video. I try to keep this relatively short to maintain my stretched length, and not over-saturate my hair - or else my hair will be dull for the next few days. After I finish a section, I quickly coat it in a light oil (usually Vitamin E), twist it up, then move on! When I switched to this routine, my main goal was keeping my hair clean, yet moisturized. Little did I know how much my hair would enjoy this! After only a month, I noticed that my hair was more manageable, shiny, and growing like crazy! Hopefully you'll experience the same while testing out techniques. Also, I don't have any videos here (yet), but I do post on Instagram! check it out: @treyeastuhh

Greenbeauty did a video on "scrincthing" as well

I've been doing this method since you posted the first video about it and my hair has grown 6 inches in 5 months. Before starting this method, I had a wash and set in the Dominican hair salon for the first time in like 3 years. This ended up damaging my hair so bad that I had to cut my hair 3 inches but it all grew back so quick with your new method. I did adjust this method for my hair needs but I have been telling everybody about it. Thanks so much for your videos!

You really need to watch wateronlyhairwash and lovingdeenaturally videos. These two ladies have perfected this technique and have done lots of great informative videos. You have to start with them to learn the complete method, then you can modify to suit

The idea of distributing the sebum down the shaft of the hair is genius! 💙

Whit...say sebum one more time! LOL

I have been watching your videos for years now and I just love how up front and honest you are. Thanks for remaining true to yourself and your subscribers. Thanks for another informative video, I am looking forward to seeing your progress with this method.

Curious how many folks here are loc'd but STILL love watching Whit's vids? lol I know I do!

I go to college and I work. Can you make a video on how to take care of hair during winter for college students? Or a q&a on this question. Its so hard to do a routine especially during the winter times. Btw I'm so happy I found your channel. You really opened my eyes to New things and in so grateful! One of my favorite RU-vidr's! !!

Saying that white women created the water washing only routine is false, black people in Africa from the beginning of time been using water only washing even until this day. I guess we sometimes forget shampoo and conditioning is a modern thing. But love the video .

I'm so excited that you're doing the WOW method! Please keep us updated on how it affects your luscious hair. Great video as always ♡

The only thing that stops me is the shrinkage! My hair would just shrivel up and tangle. Whit do you put your hair in protective styles or mainly wear it out?

Yay! Thanks for joining the WOW club Nap85. I'm going on my 3rd month with this method and it's awesome! No turning back for me!

Having one bathroom and constant buildup forced me into water only . 5 months later I love it . You tuber WateronlyHairwash has been a great resource .

I'm so jealous of your hair, it looks so easy to do and the curls automatically clump together.

What about the smell?!! I used to try and go as long as possible without washing my hair but now in the summer all those natural oils make my hair start smelling like something's gone off in there, so I feel like I HAVE to wash every week or less. Does the water really leave the hair fresh?

I have been using a version of this method for about 2 months. I modified it a bit. I do a sort of "pre poo" on my hair before. Meaning I just moisturize my hair with conditioner before water washing and then just massage my scalp and rinse very very well. I have noticed my hair retains more moisture and my hair has grown so much and I have less shredding. I have only clarified my hair once, but looking back I don't really think I needed it. But I just wanted to make sure I didn't have any scalp build up since my scalp is sensitive to product build up. But I love this! It's fast and easy, I have also been twisting my hair and my hair has been loving all of this and I'm so excited with the growth. I would said in 2 months it's grown about 2-3 inches !

i shampoo and deep condition once a week then recondition, not cowash because i never put it directly on my scalp, midweek to refresh. Ive been doing this for about 3 months now and have actually seen more length retention in these 3 months than my former twist out routine. I personally need to shampoo once a week or else my scalp gets really irritated

Definitely trying this. I had been cowashing twice a week and whilst my hair was soft it was making my scalp itchy, thank God now I know why. I find if I leave my hair for long enough it gets over the stiff and unmanageable hurdle and actually feels good again. Cheers Whitney, your hair is always goals!!!!!

I think we all need to take into consideration Whitney's hair situation. She has died her hair after lightening her hair. Cut her hair and is trying to get it to grow back. I feel like if something isn't broken don't try to fix it. If your hair state is non colored/hi lighted and you are seeing growth ...I would proceed with caution.

I literally watched the video 60 times trying to grasp the concept. I must try this!

I wash my hair once a week and mid week I cowash with honey& coconut on my scalp and a protein treatment on the rest of my hair. It works great for me :)

I would love to try this method but although this is a simple method I don't think I'm able to wash my hair every three days because I have lots of homework from school and I need my hair to be styled and ready for the next day of school. If i spend time on my homework, everyday chores and hair, I will not get enough sleep for school. But then again it's summer so I'll try it for now but I may have to stop when school starts for me in September. by the way I'm a newly natural and I just want to thank you Whitney for be am inspiration and big help through my transition and becoming natural. You were one of the very first RU-vidrs I watched. It has only been a month since i cut my heat damage and I am loving the journey.

I don't think this method reduces sebum production over time for everyone. From what I understand reading and watching both straight haired AND natural haired women who've done/succeeded with this method, *cough wateronlyhairwash cough* what this method does is regulate the amount of sebum you produce. I don't think there is anything wrong with Naptural85's method, but I don't think she's correct in thinking that she needs to cowash in order to shock her scalp into producing more sebum. If you're massaging your scalp on a regular basis, you're gonna keep producing sebum. I only think you'd have to worry about sebum building up overtime, which cowashing would be good for as long is it doesn't strip it all completely or leave build up in your hair from difficult ingredients. I think for straight-haired women who are overproducing the problem is that they often do shock their scalp into producing more sebum than necessary by stripping it all away every time they wash, but I think most natural haired women don't overproduce. If anything we probably underproduce because the curls/coils/kinks in our hair make it hard for the natural oils to even leave our scalp. We often take measures not to strip our hair, but the oils aren't being moved down the strands, they just sit there and build up, so our scalps learns to not produce as much oil. So for us, this method helps us regulate by increasing our sebum production til it gets to where we need it to be. While straight hair women who overproduce use this method to regulate by decreasing sebum production til it gets to where they need it to be.

I appreciate this video because you were honest and said something you tired didn't actually work for you. I actually enjoy cowashing often (twice a week) because my hair looks much fresher and moisturized. I doubt I'll be trying the water only method but this is just proof that everyone has to learn what works for them. Thanks again for your honesty.

man , what's your water bill lookin like ?

I tried this method. It worked amazingly. My hair has been dry no matter what oils I put in or what I do. For the first time my hair held the moisture throughout the day. Not only one day but the entire time after the wash. This is going to save me a lot of money on products.

I've been co washing everyday too and noticed itchy scalp that I'd never had before.. Definitely will be using the water only washing. Hopefully my hair isn't completely trained to not produce the oils it needs and this actually works

This came right on time! 😩🙌🏾 my scalp has started itching in the past 2 weeks and I didn't know what it was but I have started washing my hair every other day so this makes so much sense! You Go Whitney! You be on it girl lol

I'm watching again in my free time and I know I sound like a broken record but I don't care, THAT SHINE IS RIDICULOUS WHITNEY...STRAIGHT BRILLIANCE and I'm out lol!!! #bestsheenintown

I've been doing the washing every 3 to 4 days method for about a month and half now and my results have been amazing! I always massage my scalp with coconut oil before cleansing it with conditioner or water. I don't really have a set day on whether it'll be conditioner or water just whatever I feel my hair needs at that moment the most. I've notice LESS breakage, more shine, as well as less single strand nots. My hair also seems to be retaining more length; as it grew an inch and some change, in just a month! When I started this method I also started only using my fingers to detangle my hair so that could be a huge factor as well! I've also noticed a significant difference in my definition. My 4a/4b kinks and curls are more define than EVER! Naturally ! I achieved my first conditioner only wash & go, which I thought I could never do lol. Anyways, I have NO intentions on stopping this method anytime soon! :) #imlovingit ! lol

I've done this method since watching your video last week and I love it! My wash days are so quick & easy plus detangling is a breeze. My only question/concern is can I still use a leave in + gel for my wash n go's? When I wear my hair in a twist out, Curlformer set, or other stretched style I will simply use Shea butter and maybe a little flaxseed gel for hold. However I tend to wear my hair in wash n go's 80% of the time and my staple products for moisture & hold are the Kinky Curly Knot Today & Curling Custard. From what I've seen from water only hair washing, virtually no product is used apart from Shea butter & oils. Will using my store bought natural leave in & gel prevent sebum distribution or worse strip the sebum entirely?

Interesting take on water only method! I watched another vlogger who literally only used water and experienced dryness and breakage on the lower half of her hair. Thank you.

Please do an updated version of this Nap xoxo

Girl I LOVE YOU!!!! I have been watching you for the past two years learning how to take care of my natural hair!!!! Learning from you has been WONDERFUL!!! Although I must say that I did not agree with your video about natural hair being as expensive or inexpensive as you choose to make it. I completely think that natural hair is very expensive to maintain! I feel so dependent on products so when I came across water only washing I was like: "why aren't the natural hair gurus doing this"!!!!!! It sounds phenomenal and so inexpensive!!! I have been completely engrossed in wateronlywashings videos. I was like why hasn't my girl, i.e.YOU started doing this!!!! So when I saw this video I was ELATED!!!! I haven't finished watching it yet but I know it's going to be wonderful!!!! I can't wait to try the water only washing method to stop being so dependent on products, but I am very nervous about it at the same time. I'm sure I will be diving in with both feet soon!!!! I cannot wait to be much less dependent on products!!!! Thank you for all your help Whitney!!!!!

It's weird because I expected her to have this deep, sultry voice but she's got the cutest little voice I could just kiss it if it were possible xD

Your hair is so beautiful! You make us PROUD!

y not try coconut milk or green tea natural approach because that cleans the scalp without stripping it

This actually sounds pretty good. I've done this many times, well the rinsing part anyway. I never really thought about using that oil on my hair. It sounds like a neat idea. And your hair is so SHINY!!! Beautiful. :)

Can you please please please pleasee do a video on how to grow back your edges?! Mine are so thin and I have no idea why I've been massaging with JBCO but I don't see any progress :( help me Whitney!

I like this take on the WOW Method as opposed to washing everyday. I've wanted to do it, but everyday was a deal breaker for me. Gonna give this a try.

kerducky Hola Kerducky! Hey, was that your profile pic at the end of the video on the Facebook shout outs? I can't mistake that 3/4 view of fabulous twists lol!! I think it was you but the name was different...please answer this riddle but I'm sure it was you lol!!

Yayy finally an update... I too have been testing out your theory and just like yours my scalp became extra dry from the co washing. I learned that if I put my mixture of peppermint oil and water on my scalp and seal it with my mixture of essential oils every night, I'm able to co wash my hair every 3 days without my scalp feeling dry

Hey Whitney, Its been about five / or 6 months since this video. Are you still using this method?

Whitney, I did notice how much shinier and moisturized your hair looks. However, I don't believe in washing my hair for 3 days, but I would imagine it is effective for those that do. I wash my hair once a month and I retwist my 2 strand twist every 2-3 weeks to keep my hair looking fresh. I believe in this philosophy in general and when I retwist my hair today, I will try it and make sure I massage lightly in the front. Thank you for this video.

Girl you late,lol. Welcome to the water washing club.😄

I started the water only washing method some time ago and I am loving it. I thought about you and remembered your video on the experiment and just thought to myself “This is somethings that Whitney would love” and now you are making a video on it. Great minds, eh. The problem is that I don’t know what I am going to do when school starts and I am doing braids and twists for weeks time and continue the method.

You say its sebum, but it honestly feels like product I put on my hair that has settled on my scalp. Have you actually tried this on clean hair with NO added products? You added oil. I'm having a hard time believing it isn't just all that extra oil you added sitting on your scalp.
