As a Mexicana, I have really long(by my thighs), oily hair and struggled a lot growing up trying to figure out how to deal it. I’ve gotten to the point where I can mange it super well- but tips are always useful!
My oily hair has managed to balance out, after years of trying, with Alaffia black soap. I was twice a week. My hair is thinner, due to hypothyroid but black soap is helping it recover. Along with oiling my scalp the day before wash day
Try an egg! It really helps with oiliness. I swear. I coated my head in coconut oil and tea tree recently after a lice scare and just one wash with an egg got all the oil out. It's amazing and so cheap and zero waste. I just put it in a shot glass and beat it with a couple tablespoons of water and some rosemary oil just because I love rosemary. Just don't rinse with hot water cause it will cook it into your hair a bit. But it really works so well and leaves hair feeling super clean.
Have you tried teatree oil or Rosemary oil? They regulate your sebum production.. You can pur them into your shampoo:) ever since using them my Hair doesnt get greasy at All, and it's the best to treat dandruff!! (also peppermint oil :)
I’m half Cherokee Native American. My hair is ab 32” long now, and pretty thick. I’ve only trimmed it once in 6 years and my hair has been so healthy and strong the whole time. You can definitely train your hair to not need many products or tending to. I have wanted to try and pay a bit more attention to my hair though, but I’m very much not the kind of person to spend hours on haircare routines. I’ve been looking everywhere for minimalist routines, and this one really stood out to me. Thank you
Yeah me too! I am half Irish and Scottish though so my hair is curly and blonde.I always felt like it was impossible to deal with but now I just use the same three hair products and my hair is so healthy now!
genetically this is what your hair is supposed to do, no you cannot train your hair to do anything but grow utilizing certain products like oil or leave in conditioner, the training happened when you were born with those genetics, for those who are reading this do not take advice from Asians(including Indian) or Native american hair care routines, they can do literally nothing and it will grow because of the genetic profile of their hair makes it strong, silky appearing and long naturally and easily, unless it is down to your knees, its not special, you can grow it without doing anything (Source: Science and Me: an Asian, Native, White guy with long hair)
@@maranathaacts1327 I use a Denman brush,a mousse or curl smoothie depending on the season, and hair oils to help it grow.Make sure to keep your hair more moisturized during winter and depending on your hair type, only wash it once or twice a week.Hope this helps!
I use rose oil shampoo. I add honey and ginger to it. Rose oil dries my hair out. But it makes soft and shiny and strong. The honey helps keeps it from being dry and it makes it really soft and strong. The ginger keeps the scalp from being dry and itchy. It stimulates hair growth and keeps it healthy and strong. My hair grew 12 inches in 6 1/2 months. I'm letting my hair grew out all natural and no more hair color. I really love your hair and you are very beautiful. My name is Wild Eagle (Kiyaki).
I have always had a minimal haircare routine but about a month back I added in a bi-weekly hair tea mix of hibiscus flower (Rosea) & stinging nettle. Let me say, with that addition alone my hair gets INCREDIBLY soft (...of course I drink it too ❤️) I give total credit to a Cherokee woman who uses stinging nettle tea for her hair and also a Jamaican woman who uses the hibiscus (Rosea) tea for hers. I thought I’d mix the two since I had both on hand and it has become a permanent part of my routine at this point! I’ve even used it on my neice (who has thicker hair texture than mine) and her hair has become massively softer too! By the way, your accent is incredibly adorable. I can’t seem to make out what part of the U.S. it originates but just know I love it!!!
hello! i was looking into a similar treatment, do you pour/spray the tea directly on your hair? and do you wash it out in the shower, or apply it as a leave-on after?
@@kanoelani3425 You are very welcome; I hope it works for you as well. If you try it, when you spray it on your scalp/hair, be sure to put something around your shoulders like a towel so that your top does not get stains on it from the teas.
I ordered these products and hoping that my hair gets better soon! I’m indigenous (Mexico) and white (Irish, Spanish). I never realized my hair wasn’t what I thought it was in terms of thinness. I assumed I had thinner hair. I compared a strand of my hair to my partner’s who is Jewish and has European ancestry. My hair strand was like 5x thicker and harder to break. I feel like I’ve been taking care of my hair incorrectly this entire time. My hair is usually frizzy and dry feeling. My hair goes down to my waist right now. I just used Sister Sky products that arrived yesterday and they’re amazing! Oh my gosh the smell is lovely and my hair feels much silkier. I can still smell the Sweetgrass scent and I washed my hair yesterday. I never want to go back to what I was using before. Thanks for sharing your hair care routine! I’m excited to try it out too. I think for me I’ll have to gradually reduce washing my hair since I was washing it before daily. 😅😂
“No disrespect” proceeds to call them a term meant to erase indigenous people in Mexico. You don’t have a name for mixed natives in the north. Don’t forget Mexico has the highest Native DNA, Native speakers, land, food, etc etc of any country in the Americas. Educate yourself before speaking on us.
Then your probably the type to need to trim regularly, I have a family friend who couldn't get her hair to grow for the longest time, she started regularly trimming it as this person stated, every 3 months...like only an inch and that worked, she began to accumulate length. Your hair probably breaks off. Usually means dry.
I am Cherokee Choctaw, Chickasaw, Aztec, French and Irish, but never got to meet any of the Native American side of my family other than my grandma and mom but my mom is Native American and meso American and French Irish but I was raised by the Mesoamerican side of my family my dad’s side So I never got to learn about my hair or anything and to make it harder. I have mixed hair long, thick, black, curly hair. I’m growing it out for the first time this year I haven’t cut my hair in half of a year it’s finally starting to fall down the sides and I’m able to see a lot more of my native features now and I’m trying to get more in touch with my ancestors and learn how to take care of my hair. Thank you for this video and don’t worry I’m bad at English to😂 I was raised in Texas and have developed a very thick Texas accent so you can’t understand what I’m saying most of the time😂.
I’m going to have to try the Earth To You products. I’m still loving the Sister Sky products too. Like you, I’m supporting the Native American companies.
I know I'm like a year late but, I've started looking more into my culture (I'm 100% native american) and I was curious on what indigenous people did with their hair and I found this and I am looking forward to following this!
I’am. Cherokee half. My dad was full blooded my grandma was full blooded. I live my native Indian Cherokee. Race. I also take care of my hair since I had my babies I couldn’t drink milk now. I can drink milk. Lactaid milk. I use coconut hair oil. I’ve oil and shampoo no chemicals. I want to try the products your using. Your hair looks real nice. Also it’s food you eat helps your hair I eat banana apples watermelon pears plums and lots of vegetables chicken beef. Soup vegetables. Drink lots of milk 3cups. Of black tea or green tea. No candy or soda 5. Bottles. Of spring water water helps with your hair also cranberry juice. Or any juice you like. 💜♥️🌹🇺🇸
My great grandmother was Native Cherokee. I am also part Scottish Irish. I have always had super long hair. It is down to my thighs. I am almost 60 and have went to great lengths to keep it healthy and to find products that are good and healthy. I also use oils in my hair. I enjoyed your video and will look into the products you mentioned. Thank you
I love this! Thank you so much for recommending Sister Sky, I'm definitely going to have to try it out! I'm part Native and am always looking for Native owned businesses to support. I'm also trying to grow my hair long (though maybe not quite as long as yours lol), so good hair products are a must for me!
😯❤️✨ i think you just introduced me to my new shampoo and conditioner Mmmm sweetgrass😍🥰 my s/o is Eastern band Cherokee and is trying to grow out his damaged hair, he's gunna LOVE this! thank you😁
Thank you for this vid cuz I wanted to know ideas to change up my routine since I'm back home in Alaska and it's so dry. Us natives have certain hair and I appreciate that your product is made by another native!
Love it. I try to wash my hair only once a week however I use product for putting my hair back for work (I’m a security officer) and for performance (I’m a folklorico dancer and other styles AND mariachi) so my hair has to be slicked professionally a lot. Of Course I rest it on off days. Thank you for your tips!
Pretty , I wanted to cut mine before the pandemic but now it's getting long down to my booty . I need to invest into a straightener . I always wear mine up in a bun .
What kind of oil is best for us curly haired natives? Im pale due to autoimmune issues, but I have wavy/curly hair and I'd like to use better hair stuff for my hair type.
Thank you Jessica Horne for your hair routine I’ll be using and doing the same as you are for my hair and scalp. I have dandruff and tried different shampoos and conditioners, but I didn’t think to use anything else. I’m hoping this will help me. Hopefully you’ll do more content soon.
Thank you so much for recommending sister sky! My hair loves it so much and so do i!! I’m Athabaskan and my hair has been so hard to figure out what works for it. This shampoo and conditioner keeps it from frizzing, and my natural curls have come back with using these products! Can’t wait to try some of the other products you recommended.
I have very long hair as well, I have never had any problems with oil or dandruff thankfully, my biggest problem is that my hair gets dry in the winter (it gets very cold where I live) I found some African hair oil that I use literally a tiny drop on my hands and then I brush it through, wash 1 or two times a week. That’s literally all I do, no masks or treatments etc. I should also mention I do not use any heat or color on my hair ever. I do still trim every 5/6 months when my ends start to look frizzy. I use Paul Mitchell shampoo but it’s not any more expensive than cheap shampoo since I use it so infrequently. ❤
I never heard of these hair products you use...I'm a Black Native; I have Kinky Straight Hair, I shampoo my Hair, and use Oil @ the same time, I use Dawn Dish Soap, and Jojoba Oil @ the same time, and after I'm done I get the excess water out, use Jojoba Oil Leave-In In Conditioner, and use Vaseline, and style it...
You’d probably be better off wrapping your hair at night with a silk scarf. The towel is absorbing a lot of that oil. But maybe the towel absorbing the oil is part of the magic?
I've been struggling with hair growth a lot and I'm really thankful for your video, I love that everything is natural. Since the sister sky shampoo is out of stock do you have a shampoo recommendation for hair growth?
I am part Native American, German, and British. I have the Native American hair. It's got a rough texture, waves quite a bit, and dries out easily. I really love what Olaplex does for it but that shampoo, and conditioner is so expensive 😱
Ive been experamenting with water washing my hair. The only ingredient is water. Now you have to spend a few more minutes scrubbing but i have soaked my hair in oils like olive, grapeseed, sunflower, avacado, and almond oils mix them together and put it all over my hair and wash it with just water and theres been no residew left over at all. Because the only oil thats coming off my hair is the oils that the hair didnt soak up. Ive even done henna in my hair and rinced out the clay and still nothing left over it came out just fine with only water. So i doubt ill use any kind of shampoo or conditioner again because the oils a natrual conditioner and so is the henna.
Wow! You're beautiful, me and my husband are Indian as in from India and from Florida I just subscribed to you and will be sure to shop those native american brands you mentioned
wow thank u so much!! i’ve been wanting to grow out my hair and it’s already pretty long but i never knew how to properly care for it. i also had a feeling you were native! yes girl ima go support some my native sisters and that brand!! man sweetgrass shampoo and conditioner??? 😍😍😌
I’m Eastern European ( german,polish,dutch,Czech slovakian,russian) and white and i have curly hair and i have thick corse hair and i struggle with hair growth and i just wanted a trim and curtain bangs and she cut it waaay too short
Nice! Extremely, beautiful. You look alot like my ex she is from the navajo reservation in NM but we both did very minimum for both of our long hair. I use only coconut oil soak it and same with aloe vera but my hair is super thick
I blame the white in me for not being able to grow my hair as long. I've always felt attachment to it, even though I'm Mayan and not North American indigenous
So bummed my hair was like yours till last week when long term bun do to my partner stealing all my hairties so on day 4 know of constant combing threw a rats nest,A bunch has already come out I did the same as you and hopfully I`ll have some left once all the tangles out of right side,No 2 braids for years I`m thinking if I ever ge this out Braids 4ever,my husband will never steal another elastic or ties again after watching this even driving me to his mums greek old lady drama calling a salon friend me having to dress and rush embarest only to hear she left 2 mins before we showed up.I havnt cut my hair for over 15 years,I know someone has been throughing curses,Our hair is our strength so I thank you much love and many blessings a 60`s scoop ojibway.
My scalp is sooo dry, I've tried so many different oils on it, it doesn't help. Even though I use a sulfate free shampoo once a week my scalp is literally shedding after it. I'm so ashamed of my hair I now cover it when I go out 😔
What brush do you use? It doesn't look like it pulls too much and my long hair could use a brush upgrade (after like...2 decades of using the same brush).
Ok so for the two kinds of oil you use, do you leave them on overnight and wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner next day? So how many times do you oil your hair a week, how long do you leave it on and do you shampoo it off each time?
i’m around 50-60% native american, and i have very curly hair, it’s not common at all so it’s so hard to find curly routines, would these products be ok for curls
Yes, don’t brush or comb your hair out while it’s wet when you have straight hair, but you have to brush/comb your hair out while wet when you have curly hair. I just wanted to let some people know incase they are confused.
This is just the question I'm not trying to offend ... ANYONE. HOW COME NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE BLACK NATIVE AMERICANS. AND THAT INCLUDES THE OTHER NATIVE AMERICANS MEANING THE FIVE RECOGNIZED TRIBES. WHY DON'T THEY GIVE US BLACK PEOPLE THAT HAVE LONG HAIR JUST LIKE THE ASIAN TYPE OF NATIVE AMERICANS AS WELL. This isn't going to be a history lesson. But I would like people to start acknowledging us as well. There is one woman online now on RU-vid her name is called 22nd century natural. Black history is getting erased all over the world everyone always talked about the brown skin or lighter skin tone native people and the trail of tears but never discuss the association of the trail of tears related to black people.
I am native American from the lumbee tribe of North Carolina, who are you talking about the black native Americans are you saying black Indians or because you were born and raised in America, and explain about the trail of tears and all you hear is about the brown skin native Americans, well let me tell you all I ever hear about is black lives matter, well ever life matters
There are black native Americans only because they were kept with native Americans. Black people are not indigenous to the Americas, im sorry but they are not. Black natives are valid because they are connected to the culture but race wise they are not Native American, they are black. Those are the facts
How is this minimalist? Lol. You're using what four different products? I use an egg every couple weeks to wash and spray with a homemade green tea, rosemary and carrot seed essential oil moisturizing spray every other day or so and brush once a day with a boar bristle brush. That's my idea of minimalist. To each their own I guess. But I wish people would stop using so many products that come in plastic bottles.
