Let’s Get That Scalp Together! Hair Prep for Protective Styles 

I can’t believe we’re getting natural hair content from Jackie. ❤❤❤. I’m here for it.

No wonder you hair always looks so healthy, it’s the steam!! Whenever I get a steam treatment, my hair feels extremely hydrated, so happy you’re talking about because it really is major for maintaining moisture

I definitely blow out my hair. I don’t want nobody combing through my hair. The prep before the style is really key!

Girl, not putting product in the hair before a protective style is blasphemy, lol. Loved this video. 💜

This is perfect timing because I’m about to do a protective style Friday!!

I learned years ago not to grease or oil my scalp. My hair grows more when my scalp is free from product and as someone whose hair gets thicker before longer and keeps braids frequently … I understand your take.

I never realised how much oils aggravated my scalp until I stopped using them!

That’s it!!! I need 6 straight backs ASAP!😤. Love you Jackie💛

I have a pre-prep for my protective styling too and when I share with people, they always say that I’m doing a bit much, cause I’m just putting my hair away. However the level of self-care is healing for me and on top of that the amount of growth I’ve seen since starting this process a few years ago ,magnificent!

I have been natural my whole life, and I was mind blown when the age of RU-vid suggested I don’t blow dry my hair😂😂. I love the way you care for your hair Jackie and your stylist is 🔥🔥

I blowout my hair with a RevAir. I always feel so soggy after a shower, I just steam my hair with a steamer. Love the feeling of getting my hair braided too. Thanks for posting ❤

Your hair is Gorg 😍. And I so agree with you, making sure your scalp is healthy is the best way to make sure your hair stays healthy ❗Luv the video great tips

Even if she tells me to not put product, I'll put some lightweight and non-greasy!! It feels like my hair is naked and unprotected if I don't put anything

Personally, most always I blow out my hair before I get it braided just because I have thick hair. Also helps ensure less breakage and tangles when both getting my hair done and the take down

My daughters hair is closer to your hair type/texture while mine is more 3C. I watched this before detangling her hair and I feel like I learned more about hers and moisture/protection! Thank you for this ❤️

This convinced me to take my protective twists out and have a wash day lol 😂

I also have very delicate, fine, yet super tight curls. i battled back and forth using oil in my hair but now i definitely stand by it. you’re correct it definitely keeps things from getting in so what i do is my deep condition, wash, moisturizer, THEN oil to hold it in because my hair gets dry very quickly. after a couple days when i notice my hairs drying again i spray my hair with water mixed with some conditioner. i’ve been doing this for about a year. it’s worked well for me for keeping my hair hydrated but as for the scalp, i wonder if it’s stunting growth

I do blow dry for the protective styles. High heat isn't needed just to dry the hair without drying out the hair. Proper detangling in a must though so the braider can work smoothly without pulling.

I LOVE doing a pre poo! Its usually the time when i sit and really detangle my hair. I think section my hair and put them into twists and _keep_ the twists in all throughout the washing process. My hair tangles easily and doing this prevents me from constantly detangling. I stopped using coconut oil and switched to Caster oil on the scalp and jojoba oil on the hair and it has worked out well. The mielle hair oil has also helped A LOT with some hair loss that I've been experiencing. And lastly, i always blow dry my hair! I find that the stylist has an easier, fast time parting and braiding. Great video as always Jackie!!

Not the “everybody’s so creative” insert lol Jackie’s editing is always on point!

Your makeup is🤌🏾🤌🏾😍😍 mwahhh chef's kiss🥰🥰

Recently, a friend of mine and I were talking about how oils really are advertised as hydration instead of lubricating and it really does make our scalps itchy 😩

Hi Jackie! You’re natural hair is so healthy, I love seeing your curls and nice protective hairstyle as well. Would you mind doing a review of the rev-air blow dryer? I trust your reviews.

The putting on conditioner before shampoo is a good idea, I am gonna try it for my next wash , thank you ❤

Girl your curls look HEALTHYYYY!!!!

Jackie always talking out of my pay grade adding new things to my list when I get this bag because this is my first time hearing of a steam shower in my life 😭😭😭 **adds to my list with the home sauna and towel warmer**

Does anyone do a video better than Jackie?!?!? Nope 👎🏾 You slay!!! Edits. Aesthetics. Realistics. Yes I made up that word just now 😂 Ahhh… you’re one of my faves!!! Super fan ❤

I’m with you Jackie, I don’t like oil based products in the my hair either unless I can wash it out the next day. Most oils act like a plug, which prevents the hair from absorbing moisture. Plus it makes my hair feel/look greasy and heavy. I only oil my scalp 30-60min before I wash it. I will sometimes oil my scalp 2-3 days leading up to a wash but on a daily I try to stay away from products with oil in it.

I have very thick, low porosity hair so wash days are such a chore but I love how you make yours more like self-care and relaxing! I definitely need to try that steam method. My hairstylist also says wash, no product and to blow dry before arrival

Perfect timing for me, too! I came just to learn how you style your natural hair, which I love to see as well as your protective styles! 💆🏾‍♀️

Natural hair is so beautiful. Super glad to be a natural hair creator and your hair is gorgeous Jackie

My pre-protective style differs only in that I don't do any protein treatments as my hair is extremely protein sensitive. And after rinsing out the deep conditioner I again detangle and section, use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to dry as much as possible and then put in twists for a few hours. Once it's mostly dry I then use the tension method to dry the rest with my handheld.

12:02 it depends. Sometimes I blow dry other times I just stretch. It’s important that my roots aren’t super curly. That’s my goal

Oh we def in solidarity on no product being crazy, because best believe SOMETHING is going in my hair before braids

Your makeup looks so good, especially in the second clip.

That lip combo is perfection!!

I have what they call 4C HAIR , and your hair looks like mine and I know what you talking about, my hair grows very fast in a protective style too , I love watching your channel

About the thing regarding hair stylist asking for no products - I get it. When i used to get my hair braided , i would moisturize my hair A LOT grease my scalp real good and some hair braiders wld be sucking their teeth they hands was MAD greasy from my hair lmaooooo . But I do my own hair completely now . Also learning to do my nails - too much disappointment and im not in a financial state to pay butt loads of money to the top tier stylist . Im also hoping to learn to do my make up from youuuuuu ❤❤❤❤ an updated version

i love thisss i've been wanting to learn how to cleanse and retwist dreads so I can give my boyfriend a lil spa moment 😊

Definitely going to add a light weight leave-in conditioner & cream to my hair even when my stylist say don’t add anything, I also blow dry my hair & make sure to get my roots & ends very straight 😂 I feel like as long as I don’t add a bunch of grease imma be good.

The best wide tooth comb is from PATTERN. Love that you’re using it in this vid. My fav!

Yessssss. Melanin haircare is BOMB

notifications came through this time 🙌🏾

SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK!!

Blow drying depends on how fast I need my hair to be braid ready. If I’m washing night before then I put into 4-6 ponytails and braid down for stretched hair. If I’m in a rush then I’ll blow out on warm setting.

LOVING the natural hair content✨

I really enjoyed this video - I found it very therapeutic. Your hair looks beautiful Jackie 😍 girl is always eating with the hair styles 🙌🏾

I kind of agree about oils in the hair. Certain oils do not penetrate the hair shaft and can coat the hair like mineral oil which I don't use but it is in many products. Low molecular weight oils used sparingly work the best to me. I like grape seed oil, Almond oil and jojoba. Coconut is okay for the ends but never on my scalp. More hydrophobic oils do coat the hair and can block moisture; which has it's place say a twist out that you want to last during the humid summer days.

Blessings All~This was interesting and all of us. Only thought it was I whose eyes are closed the while managing hair inside the shower. I also can attest to the Fable & Mane Holiroots Oil. I was reluctant because I’d yet to see any POC review. Now I’m so happy with the difference I’ve personally seen.

girl you are beautiful and funny! You are always put together honey!

i actually like this format of ad because it’s unrelated to the content so it doesn’t make me feel like you’re forcing. i could also literally get all these products with my cash app card

That make up look! *Chef’s kiss* I like to blow dry my hair before braids. I feel like they last longer

Love you! This video is so educational for black hair types. This clears up why my hair not growing !

It’s the outro for me!!! 🎉🎉

I agree blow drying doesn’t dictate skill and I don’t really thinks it’s necessary for braids but it does help with certain styles.

Hair prepping is important

Thenk yew!😭👏🏾 I've been natural for 7 years and I'm still struggling finding the right products and protective styles. Two months ago i really messed up and got lazy, had my hair in jumbo twists, held off on wash day for an extra week, no oil, no bonnet. Just like that 2 inches of growth that was earned had to be chopped awf! But.. health over length.🤷🏾‍♀️

I do my hair myself, and i never use to blow dry. Recently I started learning HOW to blow dry my 4c hair and it's much easier for me, especially with parting. I am not doing it bone straight though, that'll be way too much for me

i don’t use oils on my scalp anymore bc it flares up my dermatitis. i heard some ppl are going back to blue majic but idk abt that yet. and if i go to my hairstylist, she doesn’t make me blow dry bc she has great grip regardless of the condition of my hair. i usually just stretch it in jumbo twists post-shampoo. if i’m doing it myself tho, i blow dry bc my grip isn’t as strong yet

Video literally posted the jight before I got some feed-ins. Thanks for always posting right when me need it Aunt Jackie ❤❤😂

This video sure came at the best time, I am making my hair tomorrow, thank you so much for this Jackie

So relaxing watching this. Thank you Jackie♥️

Love the new intro. I wash my hair the night before so the products soak in so they can't tell but the hairstylist i go to now will wash my hair before braiding so i dont have to. Since I do my hair night before I don't blow dry but if I do the morning of then I will blow dry. I actually use a pre-shampoo now a conditioner as a preshampoo and I use the brigeo charcoal scalp cleanser and then go to a shampoo.

Jackie, I'm a aspiring content creator and love you are my inspiration.Decided to call it UGC•LAVISH! Everytime I feel like giving up your videos always pops up! This is also divine intervention for me to take my dam braids out and love up on my scalp😂. Great content!

Right! If you don’t want me to put product in my hair before a protective style then you need to include a wash and condition in your services. What am I supposed to do come with my hair stripped and dry and braid it up for a month like that? No ma’am! 😂

I don't long term protective style as I am relaxed but I do wrap it every night and put it in a tucked bun if I am not styling it. I do not blow dry my hair, ever and I always end wash day with a leave-in conditioner to keep the moisture going. Those braids look great on you, reminds me of summer vacation in Barbados!

It’s me finding this as I’m about to blow dry my hair for knotless braids tomorrow😊

Jackie I love how stitch braids look on you🫶🏿

Your natural hair colour is best! So full and fluffy beautiful 😍 xx

I quit using product (creams) years ago. Don’t use oil either. Just leave in and gel. When I protective style just a good leave in conditioner. I use revair to dry and it gets it straight enough to braid.

Freeeesssshhh content babyyyyy 🥰🥰

Omg am I love with the outro music at the end! Yesss Jackie Jackie Jackie!!!!

The braids are super cute

I gotta blowdry my hair for anything like you said a loc style because some people are heavy handed and I lost a lot more hair when I dont personally blow-dry my hair

I love when you show us washing and maintaining your hair! Its such a comfort in watchinf this! 😊

Makeup game on point.

Love the braids on you!

That makeup looks sooo good with these braids

I always put a lil conditioner in my hair even if they say not to lol, I just don't want it to be too dry! And I always blow dry too unless I'm doing like a twist out or braid out or something

Love ❤️ the hair style Jackie 😍

Love this..... I always do this process 3 days ahead of my protective style that way my leave-in has time to adsorb into my hair.

This video was so informative, love it! ❤

i actually relate to putting as little product as possible, if any, into my hair before i braid it... but it's not because i go to a stylist! (would love to, but she's constantly booked and i'm broke & allergic to everything) it's actually because 1. putting product in my hair when i braid it makes it so i can't get a good grip on the hair, and thus the braids come out almost as soon as i do them. i have shortish, highly textured, fine, lower porosity hair - lately it's been so smooth that any amount of moisture makes it nigh impossible to hold. even getting my hands sweaty (aka how my hands always are) impedes my ability to braid my hair! but also 2. my scalp hates me at the moment and i don't know why, and my dermatologist visit isn't until may 2024 :') so i have to figure something out. and one of those somethings was that, if i put ANY sort of conditioning product in my hair without thoroughly washing it out, it will ache, itch and burn for DAYS. the only things i can use on my hair now, unless it's being washed, are oil-based things - shine n jam, scalp oil, vaseline, and _very_ sparingly some loc creams. that's it. idk why, she hates me i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love your hair and you! STUNNING.

Jackie ily you’re a huge role model❤️🥰

I blow dry before protective style and plat it in 4 box braid section🥰

I been watching this✨ QUEEN 🥹SINCE I WAS 14-15 I’m 22 she’s my RICH AUNTIE 😂😂❤️

the eyemakeup! love the colors, lashes great video

i love oil on the scalp never all over the hair. my hair is very fine even a lightweight leave in will leave it greasy to the touch if im not careful

Hey Jackie, sis!🤎💝🌻🤎 I love it when I catch you!👸🏽

HIGHLY Agree with oil before protective styles!!!! I love oils in my hair BUT before protective styles I never do because your scalp is already going to produce sebum and oil more because of the protective style so having all of that excess oil is going to produce build up.

I am a no oil girl. don't use it for anything ever. I might use an olaplex hair mask,clarify, moisture shampoo, condition n detangle w the felicia Leatherwood brush and then i do blow dry my hair before so I use heat protectant. thats the only product I put in my hair prior to braids.

I only blow dry my hair when getting my protective style. That for me has restored my hairline and my hair in general because less heat..💁🏽‍♀️

I don’t use oil in my hair but I did go back to grease blue and it’s really helped.

Beautiful natural hair!

it's alwaysss the quality for me! 🖤

Omg, video much needed and perfectly timed. THAAAAANK YOU

i missed you yesterday at tyson’s! but i love you jackie!!

I don’t put oil no more either. It’s not necessary at all. I just use a good leave in.. xx!!

Oh, you are using one of my favorite hair products 👊🏾
