My Simple Hair Care Routine for Graying Hair | Natural Hair - Type 4 | 4 Steps 

Thank you so much, Ms. Carla!! Congratulations on being color free for 6 months, that's a great accomplishment!! Yes, it is more about consistency and using products that work for your hair, as well as keeping it simple. I recently switched from using a purple shampoo to a purple conditioner and I only use it when my gray looks dull. But other than that, I use what works best on my hair. Also, if I notice something doesn't work, I don't try to make it work, I just stop using it. I appreciate your feedback about this video, it is always beneficial to know that information and I am glad this video is informative and inspiring for you. Thank you so much for your kind words & message, it warms my heart!! Take care and all the best!!🤗💖🌻🌻

Thank you! I don't use a lot of products now, maybe when I uploaded this video, I shared a lot, if my memory serves me well. I have a current favorites video up and it's a lot less. I do have separate products for doing a wash-n-go, so I still have a little stash. 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting!! Have a great day!

Thank you! Gray hair has a mind of its own. Focus on the moisture. Thanks for watching!!

Glad you found it helpful!!

Thank you, Denise! I understand how you feel. Decide to transition out of color, especially if it makes you feel dizzy (ill), and you can transition in many different ways. One day, I decided I would just embrace what my hair was becoming, and I never looked back. Gray hair is a mark of elegance and wisdom and is beautiful. There are a few ladies who have channels dedicated to gray hair. You may be aware of them, but I get inspiration from them (Naturally Graysful and jjMua Artistry). They are beautiful women wearing their beautiful, natural gray hair. You'll love your gray hair when you are ready to love it. Embrace what is and you'll be fine. Take care, and thanks for watching and commenting! 🤗

Welcome 😊

No problem 😊

Hi, Stacy! Gray and natural is beautiful!! 🤩 Thanks for your feedback and for watching!! Have a wonderful evening!!🤗🌻

I'm struggling with the dry hair. I usually braid it every night. Thanks for the Blue Magic hint though... I've been wondering about using it. I'll watch again, and make a list of the products. I, however, love my salt n pepper hair. Thanks for taking time to help your sisters out. 🙂

@@revlovee What I find helpful is getting a quality shampoo and conditioner to lay the moisture foundation. Then you build on that. Try applying products to your braids each night if needed. If your hair feels dry use a moisturizing product (water-based) and then put a little pomade on the section. Be light-handed when your doing this and only do it when your hair feels like it needs something. Check out my recent video of when I share how I maintain a blow-out. I explain it better in that video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u1YBsOshaZo.html Hope this helps and if you have further questions, feel free to email me contact[at]evelynparham.com Thanks so much & take care!! 🤗🌻

@@radiantbeauty-evelyn thank you. I put some moisturizer on it just now and did some twists. I'll shop for shampoo and blue basic tomorrow

No problem!

Thank you 🙏 so much Neecy!!🤗

Thank you so much!!

@@radiantbeauty-evelyn you are welcome

Hi Robin! I love Mielle's hair milk. My favorites have changed since uploading this video. I prefer a fluffy wash and go look, my twist-outs are just okay. Thanks for stopping by and for connecting!! Have a wonderful week!

Thank you, Carolyn!!😀

Thanks!!🌻

I used to wear Sisterlocks, as you probably noticed in the video. Good ole Sulfur 8, I remember that grease. Thank you, sister, for sharing what you use and for the full watch. 🤗

Simple is always the best. Since your hair has been dry, make sure you put a little moisturizer on your hair when you twist your hair at night. It will help! You should enter my giveaway. The details are in the lastest hair product haul video I've uploaded. Thanks for commenting! 🙂

Nice Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Millawdon Goodbye Gray Trick (google it)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to reverse gray hair fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cooworker finally got great success with it.

Hey Kem! Thank you! Have you tried massaging your crown to stimulate the scalp for increased blood flow to the area? Or even using a shampoo thay stimulates your scalp? I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist, if you haven't already to determine if your crown area has the potential to thicken. It could be scarring/damage to the scalp area in your crown, which might be a reason for your hair being thinner in that area. I hope the technique works for you!Thanks for chiming in and commenting! Wishing you the best!🌻

Evelyn Parham, thank you for the tips to a thicker crown🙂

No problem!!

🙏🏾

Thank you so much!!🤗🌻

Thank you! 😊 And sending early birthday wishes your way!!🤗🌻

Hey Tameka!! Thank you for subscribing and for the compliment about my hair!!🙏💛 Yes, the grey texture is slightly different and it has a mind of its own. So it's not just you, it's the nature of how grey hair behaves. But I find that adding more moisturizer to the grey hair helps with having more control. I don't use Ecostyler gel for that reason - I notice excessive hair shed every time I use it. I'll need to do an update on the gels I actually use. 🤔 I appreciate 🙏 you sharing what you like using for your hair! Blue Magic is definitely a keeper!! 👍 Have a wonderful day!!🤗

@@radiantbeauty-evelyn I'm definitely hitting the bell because I need to learn more about this grey! Excited to follow your channel. Thanks for sharing your life/hair with us!

Hair dresser told you right. Oh, okay; you need to stay up too of the moisture. I used to use Felecia Leatherwood Detangling Brush, but I returned to using the Denman Brush. I find the Denman has more give/ flexibility.

Thanks!

Thank you! You can probably find them in a local beauty supply store, drugstore, grocery store, a Wal-Mart/Target store. Take care!!🤗🌻

Hi Ann! I had locks for almost 4 years and I was just tired of them. I wanted to see my loose natural hair. Well, if you like how your natural hair looks, then you may not want to lock your hair. However, if you like the locks go for it.

Thanks, Trinity!🙏🏾😊 1- Most times I don't use a comb only my fingers. But if I am going from wearing a wash-n-go and it's dry, I'll spritz little water and apply moisturizer gently detangle with fingers, a wide tooth comb, Felecia Leatherwood brush or a paddle brush. This is usually the only time I use a tool for detangling. (I detangle the section I'm twisting) 2- If I twist my hair on day one, I leave them in overnight, if I'm going somewhere the next day, I'll release the twists or just cover my head with a beanie. But if I do a wash-n-go (no gel), before I'm heading out the door, I usually twist my hair the next night or two, apply moisturizer mainly to the ends of the hair, and set with twists. 3- I used to avoid mineral oil and petroleum products, but after revisiting them, I don't have a problem using them. My hair stays moisturizerd longer and feels better since, I started back using these products. 4- Sometimes, I'll use Blue Magic for a twist out or place a little around my hair line/edges. When I use for twisting, I use a leave in conditioner and a little Blue Magic then twist. I don't use it on my my hair, unless I have wet/damp my hair. 5- I've used a clarifying shampoo before I started using Miss Jessie's. When I was doing mostly wngos, I had a sulfate free clarifying shampoo, that I used (Malibu C Undo Goo) and I would always follow with a moisturizing shampoo/cowash. Clarifying has always been a part of my routine. I don't have a problem with Miss Jessie's Buttercreme building up on my hair, because I don't apply a lot at one time (I'm light handed) and I only use it when my hair feels dry. Thanks for the questions and I hope my answers are clear. If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! I'll do more hair videos in the future. Let me know what you'd like to see. Have a beautiful day! 🤗🌼💕 P.S. I only buy Miss Jessie's when they have a sale.

Thanks for your reply. I’d like to see your routine that you follow going from a w-n-g to twists. I always like it when vloggers share their success with hair products that are easily accessible. Thanks for including your success with familiar products. I have discovered that having a good routine , using tools that don’t cause damage and using quality products go hand in hand to promote and maintain healthy hair.

Thanks for the skin compliment! I don't advertise, but I do share on other social media platforms. But most of my views are from within this platform (suggested/recommended), search, and home. Take care!🌻🌻🌻

@@radiantbeauty-evelyn Thanks for replying, appreciated.

Thanks! 😊 Be sure your cleansing and conditioning products are moisturizing for your hair and be sure to deep condition (based on what your hair needs). An oil treatment is also works great for treatments. A good moisturizing cream or serum/oil can also help with frizz. But moisture is key for decreasing frizz. I hope this helps!

Thank you!!🤗🌻🌻

Thanks for telling me how you found this video!👍🏾 I'm sorry about your experience, I've had some of the same experiences and I've learned everything that is marketed for black folk hair isn't always good; good formulation is key and most hair care products have some of the same ingredients. The only difference is formulations; some are good and some not so much. Tresemme is pretty good, I do not use it now, but if, I was in a pinch and had to be tight with the coins, Tresemme would be my first choice to buy. It's always a pleasure connecting with other women who are my age.😍 Thank you so much for subscribing and have a wonderful day!!🌻

Thank you!!

Hi Cynthia! As it stands now, I only have issues with dryness, when I use certain gels or other products that aren't that moisturizing. Currently, when I'm wearing my hair in a twist out, I will re-twist at night when my hair needs moisture, plus it just depends on how my hair looks too. So most times, I re-twist because I want it to look fresh and I know some people don't recommend re-twisting. I go by how my hair feels as well as how it looks. But I prefer to twist my hair at night because I don't like sleeping on loose hair that's been twisted. However, when my hair is in a wash and go, I will sleep on loose hair granted I sleep on a satin pillow case or in a satin bonnet. Right now my hair is flat twisted. I originally twisted the a few nights ago, but didn't add any product because my hair felt moisturized, but last night it felt dry; I went in with moisturizing and flat twisted. I won't take down my hair until Tuesday, if I don't wear a beanie. I want to keep it twisted. 😆 As for humidity, look for products that are NOT heavy in glycerin or bring the moisture. Example, I cannot use As I Am's curl enhancing smoothie (long and luxe) for twist-outs because my hair will re-vert to a soft, fro in humidity, but it's fine for the cooler months for me. You have lots of options for styling, (foam, setting lotion, curl cream).. Consider drying your hair under a dryer for a good set, that way you hair will hold up longer with the humidity and you can get away without re-twisting if you prefer not to. If need be, use a pomade/light grease to fight humidity too. I hope this helps! Thanks for your comment and enjoy your day!!

Eden Body Works Curl Defining Cream is humidity resistant. You might want to try that or Taliah Waajid-s Curly Curl Cream (I'm not sure about the humidity resistance).

Thanks

Thanks! I usually just apply to my hair. I've applied to scalp a few times and my scalp wasn't having that.🌻

🙏🏾🌻

No problem! I haven't had any issues with products turning my hair the same color as the product. Most hair products I use are white or off-white. But I also use a purple shampoo every 6-8 weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting!🤗🌻

Hi Sarah! You don't have to use a lot of products. A shampoo, conditioner, leave-in (optional), and oil/hair grease or gel (styling product) is really all you need. I'm a little bit of a product junkie and I'm trying to become a product minimalist, I'll get there eventually.😊 I've never heard of Purbella Naturals, it looks like a pretty good line, minimal products, which is good. I'm sure she will add more products as her business grows. The Nexus conditioner is pretty good. Thanks for commenting and for the feedback on my video!🙏🏽🤗

Glad it was helpful! I ordered a satin bonnet that is adjustable and won't slide off the head from www.glowbydaye.com/collections/satin-bonnets. Glow By Daye has bonnets for kids too that are also adjustable. Mielle Avocado Moisturizing hair milk is excellent for adding moisture to the hair. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hmm....maybe you can place online order. Thanks for watching!🌻

Thank you Andrea!😊

Hi Ms. Bettty! These days, I shampoo once a week. Thanks for commenting and sharing what works for you! I agree with you; a good shampoo and conditioner make a difference. It lays the foundation for a healthy head of hair. Thank you for the compliment on my hair!! 🌻🌻

Hi Ms. Mary! My mom's name is Mary😀 Start keeping it moisturized, by starting with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner; it lays the foundation for building moisture. Then build from there by using a leave in product. Thanks for stopping by 😊 and stay safe!!

She Must be a beautiful person, thank you for sharing your information I'm going back to one of your videos I watched and check out the products you recommend.

I've updated my favorite products and will have a video coming out soon. However, the products I shared in previous videos are okay to use as well. Thanks so much and if you have questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks I will and waiting on the next video as well!

Hey Nappy Scribe!! I think you're doing well with not leaving the yarn twists in for more than two weeks. If you don't get tired of doing your hair, then you should be okay. 💠The longer we leave extensions in our hair, the harder it is/can be when it comes to take-down. What do I mean? 💠Some people when taking down extensions, just take them down and move straight to shampooing the hair, which makes it difficult to detangle the hair. 💠The trick is to use some kind of detangler (spray) during and after take-down to prevent tangling and matting from occurring when water and shampoo hit the hair. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Evelyn Parham yes. I liked and subscribed too. I plan to follow you. Your hair looks like I want mine to look. Maybe I’d better stop with the yarn twists. I cut my hair so short that I needed something in so I wouldn’t scare him!

Thank you for subscribing and if there is anything you'd like to see, just let me know!!🙏🏾😊 I understand not wanting to wear the short cut, I was like that, but I just kept my short hair moisturized with some curl definition. And you can do comb coils or and coil outs, which are cute on short hair. If you like yarn twists, keep wearing them, but just be mindful of how long you leave the twists in your hair. Take care!!

I shampoo once a week, but sometimes I push it to once every two weeks (only if I don't have time for weekly). Also, if I'm wearing a wash and go, I'll shampoo once in the week and use Cowash product mid-week to restyle only if needed. Great question and you gave me an idea for a future video!! Thanks so much for commenting!!

Evelyn Parham I hate washing and can go weeks if I have it in tiny twist. I was thinking of going to sisterlocs but hesitant because of the price. Why did you cut them out. Guess I’ll take done my twist and clarify wash. Thanks for video. I will subscribe.

@@rubyreed8690 Thanks for subscribing!🙏🤗 I got tired of wearing Sisterlocks and the whole process of getting re-rightenings. I had started doing my own retightnings toward the end because I got tired of paying $90 a pop and having a sore head. I had Sisterlocks for almost 4-years and I was ready to see my loose hair too (2005-2009). If I were to lock today, I wouldn't get Sisterlocks, I'd probably do traditional locks, the way Damien Walter (he's on RU-vid) installs and maintains them. Thanks again for connecting and if there's anything you'd like to see, feel free to let me know; I'll try to make it happen. Happy washing 😀 and enjoy your day!

You don't need a lot of products. Shampoo to keep hair clean, conditioner for moisture, and a moisturizer or an oil/grease, if you so choose. A leave-in is conditioner optional. That's 3-4 products. It's up to you as to how much you want to spend. There are cheaper products on the market that work just as well, from drug store, beauty supply, to higher end products; the ball is in your court. If your hair is dry focus on using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and a moisturizer for retaining moisture in your hair. Gray hair/graying hair is usually coarser and more unruly, so focus on moisture for the hair. Take care!! 🙂

Hey Helen! You don't need to use a lot of products. Always, do what works for you. All anyone needs is 4-5 products. A shampoo, conditioner, leave-in (optional), oil, and a gel/styling product. I'd consider my routine simple compared to what I've seen others do on RU-vid. It doesn't take me a whole day to wash my hair. I'm not spending no more than an hour on my hair and I ain't deep conditioning every time I shampoo, unless my hair needs it. As for shampoo, there are different shampoos to help with different situations. But for the most part a moisturizing shampoo or a good pH balanced shampoo will get the job done. Thanks for your comment!!

What's too much? The products.The hairstyling? The cost? We don't need a lot to take care of our hair. Simplicity is a shampoo, conditioner, oil, a gel, and minimal styling. I'm working on decreasing the number of products I use, but first, I need to use up what I currently have and not purchase anything new. She says thanks for the compliment! Take care!

Yeah, I know!😊 I have a future video about product minimalism coming soon. Thanks for watching!

You should see my recent video! This video is 2-years old.
