Finally, found someone who keeps it simple with the hair routine like me...just wash and go , no stretching, no blow drying , etc... morning routine consist of spritz with aloe juice ; shake and go... always get compliment and questions ( do you could your hair everyday?) Answer: No just Spritz, shake and go! I love it... so simple. 😀👩👊
Life Quotes: -I love shea butter -I ain't got 2 hours to drip dry -... I don't even use half that shit -... suffocates my hair, my time, my soul Preach!!! 💃👏🙌🙌👏💃
Omg your hair has grown so much!! So exciting to follow your journey! 😘😘 P.S a quick tip, as your hair grows longer you so should try to work in sections, it helps with the tangles, I am also lazy ahahaha but it reduces the wash time. Again it is better when you get longer hair for now i dont think is a fully necessary step. Sending love from Portugal PT💕💕
I may want to try whipping your shea butter. Melt it in a double boiler or put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Put in a blender or whip with a spoon. Mix with an oil to maintain consistency.
You don’t know how refreshing it is to see someone sporting their actual natural hair. Not natural + (fill in the blank) super cute and chic definitely setting a new standard for me and for beauty 💕❤️
First timer here and I must say that I love your spirit! You had me over here nodding my head in agreement. I’ve been natural for some years now and it is refreshing to see someone who loves their hair and takes care of it, but yet not take their hair so seriously with the 50-11 products and 90 min nighttime routine lol (I kid, but you know what I mean). Great video!
This is my fave video of your hair care segment. I was spending so much time trying to manage my hair daily and on wash day, so much so that I was tired of being natural. But I love my natural hair, I don’t want to give up on it. When I came across this video of yours I decided to try your easy, breezy method and, voila! My hair looks beautiful! It’s almost too easy and my hair loves it. I see you trying other methods and products in other videos. Guess you’re exploring to see what else is out there that your hair might like. But I’ve been there, done that already, just looking for an easier way to manage my hair. I’ve complicated this thing unnecessarily for so long. As my hair gets longer I’m sure I will need to tweak my method a bit but I’ll still keep it simple. Thank you, Sharmaine!
I love your routine, I do worry though that in not sectioning you aren't getting the products to the length of your strands? I get the lazy thing, it does take a little longer but actually you only need 4 sections, put product on and squelch the hair so the product moves through. At the end of the day what works for you works. I just don't want you to get 6 months down the line and find you're suffering breakage or dryness as a result of not sectioning.
Sweet and beautiful young lady, your videos have literally saved my natural hair. Thank you so much for sharing your natural hair journey and tips with us!
If your not a fan of the white cast Shea butter leaves you can buy Alaffia or Everyday use shea lotion. It has all the benefits without the cast and you can use it on your whole body.
I love your attitude about your hair! I appreciate how simple your hair routine is. It's proof that going natural doesn't require a great big production every day. Thanks for your wonderful videos😃❤️
You are so right about a simple routine... I’ve been literally just using the Mane n Tail shampoo/conditioner, the Camille Rose deep conditioner and an oil mixture I bought on Etsy... the conditioner I use as a pretreatment (to detangle) and as a leave-in and my hair is growing and getting thicker... Love your positivity and your energy 💚💛💜
I need your help! I want to review Mielle Organics but can't decide which collection! Vote here: ru-vid.com/show-UC12LklzNz7Mr91GqriZ_ciAcommunity Don't forget to join my 'Natural Hair Type 4' group: facebook.com/groups/naturalhairtype4/ Thank you for your support!
Joy-el I keep reading comments people telling you to part your hair. It’s not necessary. My Afro hair is armpit length and I don’t part it, especially when you wet it everyday it’s too much work!
blend your shea butter (add extra oils if you want) to make it whipped. it will make it easier to melt and apply in your hair. I have a premade batch for the winter i havent touched yet :) Also, I remember my new phase (Im a very lazy natural - only wear my hair out and in high puffs)- i felt the same as you....however once you get more length you will notice you need to do things a little different each phase. :) Sectioning is a must as your hair grows out
I believe a lot of that over complication culture comes with the anxiety attached with the idea of not being presentable. Many Black/Biracial women have been conditioned to believe that appropriate for us will always have to involve some sort of manipulation in order to assimilate. I myself am learning to release this mentality...and I've been wearing my natural hair for 16 years now. You've helped me ease my mind into the notion that my hair doesn't need to be twisted into submission in order for it to be an "appropriate style." Thank you 😁🖤
tanneranner i think this is actually something all people face. Black men feel like they always have to have their hair lined up. White men feel like they have to keep their hair gelled back (and Latinos) or blow dried. White women feel the need to curl or straighten their hair to be presentable. Asian women DEFINITELY feel pressured to manipulate their hair to feel presentable, perhaps more than anyone. And of course black women are not exempt from this pressure either. I’ve been friends with multiple races of people. And it’s pretty much the same across the board. It’s just a societal thing, not to mention we all just feel good looking our best and being comfortable in what we’re in.
One brush I use to detangle when I didn't feel like using my fingers was a shampoo brush. I found it randomly at the drugstore for $1. It has different lengths of teeth that are pretty flexible. It's black with a ring handle on the back. Also I recommend peppermint oil because it's very penetrating, even for low porosity. I put it in my shampoo, and then also use it to seal when I choose to moisturize throughout the week.
I loved this video. I follow the same routine and I am not lying when I say this my hair has gotten thicker and longer since the summer. My hair is growing due to wash and gos. I use a tee shirt to blot my hair and then I either throw it in a puff or wear it down. I’ve been on the hunt for that Tressume Bontinque I can’t find it anywhere but I’m got going to stop looking for it tho. Thanks for sharing
I've thought about using a t-shirt but my hair loves water so much that I want it to absorb as much as it can. Plus the shaking helps fluff my hair and I don't have to use any tools or extra manipulation ;D I found my conditioner at my local Fry's grocery store. I found it on amazon too for you! www.amazon.com/TRESemm%C3%A9-Selection-Conditioner-Botanique-Replenish/dp/B0199WNGIW
Love the video and your statement about simplifying everything. I think that's best as well so I will say this one to refer back to cuz I need to look at your morning routine again! Beautiful hair as always!
shea butter is great for hair is makes my hair so soft and keeps it moisturized for over a week. and at nnight i do the banding method you should check it out if you dont kno what it is. if you like a fluffy afro look then the banding method can help you achieve that but do what works for you im just giving ideas. it's super quick and easy to do and keeps your fro from being smushed in the morning.
yeah I can't do coconut oil. I'm 4c low porosity protein sensitive. its like the coconut oil creates a barrier around my hair cuticles keeping moisture out. olive, avocado, grapeseed are great alternative oils. plus I read every product ingredient making sure no protein or coconut oil included. coconut, almond, jojoba, camilla oils tends to dry out my hair--I don't know why, that just happens to my low porosity 4c
Do you do your wash n go routine every morning? If you're looking for a way to uncompact your hair in the morning, take your shower as normal and let the steam from the shower add moisture to your hair. Then use your damp hands to fluff your hair.
I've been natural for 8 years now and wish I never started using relaxers or straightening my hair. I agree, a person has to find which products works well on their hair & run with it (by the way I'm 4c hair type). I use several items for softening & sheen "Blue Magic Bergamot Hair & Scalp Conditioner", "Dr. Miracle's Daily Moisturizing Lotion", and "Bigen Polishing Serum". For washing & conditioning my hair I use: "Creme of Nature Straight from Eden Shampoo", "Garnier Fructis Conditioner for Dry Damaged Hair", "Creme of Nature Leave-In Conditioner", "Jane Carter Solution Natural Twist Out Foam", & "Dryfast Concentrated Setting Lotion". It's a lot of products but it works for me. Oh, I just started using (3 new products to my regiment) "Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie w/Silk Protein & Neem Oil Moisturize & Curl Define for Thick, Curly Hair", "Isoplus Styling Gel" and/OR "Wet Line Super Look Extreme Hold". Whew and that's it (LOL)!!!
I love you! Omg you're gorgeous! Thank you for embracing who you are! Your message in this video is loud and clear, and it means so much to me. Keep being great girl!
O. M. G. Why am I only now finding you??!! I am not biracial but our hair is similar! Also I do not have the luxury of putting on loads of products in my hair and waiting for it to dry or sitting under a hooded dryer. My hair is type 4, low porosity, dense and coarse so it takes FOREVER to dry if there are too many products on it. New subbie here!
Orange is definitely your color! I wish my hair had that round shape. My hair is kind of a triangle and it require a bit of work but it’s a labor of love. Keep doing what your doing❤️
Thank you! Have you tried trimming it into a rounder shape? I know that there are parts of my hair that grow faster that can throw off the shape sometimes!
I'm so excited about your journey! you're beautiful, your hair is beautiful and your make-up is beautiful! I love how real and honest you are. I have low porosity hair, I'm on the fence about buying the "do it fro the culture line" but because you recommended it, I'm gonna try it!👍🏽🙂
I feel like you would love a whipped shea butter. When I first went natural I applied raw shea to my hair regularly, but I really disliked the hardness and smell. I've recently started using shea again, whipped. I added a few essential oils (for smell) and coconut oil and I love it! Also I don't know if you work out but after the gym the shea butter used to smell so bad. It's easy to frequently wash your hair when you're in the twa stage but once it starts to grow, it's just annoying!
Love you energy your beautiful 😍💞 Try a braid out and try to also work in four sections Aussie 3 minute moist deep conditioner really helps to soften the hair
My little sister does the big shake too! When your hair gets really long you need to be careful because you could give yourself whiplash! My big problem was my hair would never dry, so wash n go’s were a no go. I hated it. I had a ton of braid styles so I only had to wash my hair every few weeks. Also my thick heavy hair pulling tight to my head was so uncomfortable.
Lol your videos are funny in a very good way. You keep it real. But your methods are very good that you do for your hair. I will definitely incorporate some. I am also lazy I barely part my hair because I too am lazy. :) I can tell your hair is definitely growing in each video. Also the orange is nice. Thanks and keep posting.
Would you ever consider doing some box braids for protection or have you never braided your hair before? I saw some chin length jumbo braids that would look amazing on you
Love your whole look, your hair is same as mine. How often do you actually use shampoo? Have you ever tried clay? It is great as a detox, some use it as a cleanser too xx
Positively love mango butter. Lighter and less greasy than shea butter, has no scent, and is softer to melt in your hands. My hair absolutely loves it.
