I thought the Olaplex no. 3 was supposed to be used before washing hair?

@folahontas Год назад

Yea! A lot of times my hair is really dirty and its coated in all types of product, so ill use a clarifying shampoo first. You can opt to place the #3 here in between steps and then follow up with a moisturizing shampoo. I always double cleanse anyway. Hope that helped and sorry if it was confusing via video

@celia7288 Год назад

No it’s after you wash the hair i use it that way to remove all the buildup and then I shampoo again after leaving it from 10 to 1h 30min or sometimes I leave it overnight I definitely noticed a difference when I left it for a longer then only 10min

@shashagirl Год назад

@@celia7288 makes sense because I used to wonder if it would be so effective for natural hair girlies like us that happen to apply lots of products normally to just use the Olaplex no 3 without first doing some bit of washing on our strands. I will definitely try this after washing, apply then wash again. Not sure how safe for me is the leaving for longer though with all these law suits flying about 🤭. Thanks!

@SimoneMeee Год назад

@@shashagirl It is. Its suppose to be used before washing your hair its not a conditioner its a bond builder. It says on the directions.

I don’t blame the natural RU-vidrs of yester-year. They were trying to navigate a world where it was relaxer or struggle. I think nowadays there is so much more information and more actual science being incorporated into how we take care of our hair and it’s beautiful to see the growth.

@afrowatercolor Год назад

I totally agree with you re: breakage. There was a time in my life where I would have broken hair in the sink, on the floor, and on my shirt every time I did my hair. I thought this was normal. I have learned how to properly care for my hair, and like you, I no longer have broken hairs after styling my hair.😊

@EsiriE Год назад

what do you do? because I always get breaker, even earn finger detangling

@afrowatercolor Год назад

@@EsiriE I am EXTREMELY gentle when finger detangling, or when handling my hair in general. Our hair is so fragile, and easy to break. Gentleness has worked well for me.

Yup I used to only shampoo my scalp and gently smooth it over my hair strands 🥴🥴🥴 I'm so glad I saw someone's TikTok 6 months ago about them washing their hair frequently and then I found curl specialists! They saved my hair fr. I just had a 45 min wash day today & 25 minute styling before the end of the day!!! 5+ hour wash day me 6-10 years ago wouldn't have thought it was possible I now love washing my coily hair 🥺 Your hair is beautiful!

@daijamatthews Год назад

Whew! You have been released from the naturalista hold. I love to see it! No deep conditioning for days, only washing the scalp, and reading product directions.

@deborahobakpolo8651 Год назад

Some naturals overcomplicate wash day and natural hair in general...I only use deep conditioners when I need lots of moisture/protein (or even both).

@koyaharvey-walker3794 Год назад

This summarises what I have been telling everyone for years. My wash day is 20 minutes and has been for years. Shampoo thoroughly , condition and deep condition for 5-10 minutes only as and when needed. Sometimes my hair feels so soft I only need a leave in spray and its exactly the same texture and density as yours

@veronicahaney6005 9 месяцев назад

same here, i only use leave in spray

@jbb8261 Год назад

I don’t leave conditioner for an hour either! My hair grew from ear to mid back length just using deep conditioner for the duration of my shower, not even steaming it under a shower cap either

@glamour1120 Год назад

Definitely have been softly detangling and using the recommended time for deep conditioning and it’s been so time saving. Love this!

@michelleeja412 Год назад

Great video! I follow a similar routine, yet slightly different regimen. I still pre-condition with olive oil overnight (or 1hr b4 wash if I'm short on time). What a difference, my hair is now ultra-conditioned, and I detangle before I get into the shower. I have fine, dense hair and it's just better for me. Also, Olaplex #1 is designed to go before #3. Its more than a conditioner, it's a bonding treatment. I deep condition after every wash day because it sets/preps my hair to be in best condition. Simplicity I find always wins because I have growth and length retention, so I know I'm doing something right. Ladies stay away from hacks and trends because you will go bald! But lastly, 15yrs natural and not looking back. I'm glad I didn't give up because now I have mastered my natural hair just by trial and error. I'm so very happy that my hair washing has went from 1 whole day to just 2hrs! who would have ever thought??

Excellent video, love seeing more naturals giving up raw oils and shampooing to match the build up level on the hair. It has made me fall back in love with my natural hair, now that i’m not dealing with brittle dehydrated hair from build up. I cannot find that felicia leatherwood brush anywhere, it’s been sold out forever. Considering a tangle teazer with handle, but looks harder to clean out the hair.

Just did and it took one hour! Scalp scrub, washed, conditioned and detangled in one hour. I added 15 min to today’s wash because I wanted the d.c. to penetrate with heat (&i have the extra time 😂) but if it was a weekly wash for me, it would only take an hour. And as you can see we have about the same length, my hair is just a little bit finer. Love you Fola for this babee!!!! Saved my life as a Mom to a very busy autistic little boy 😊

Washing only your scalp is useful if you have a condition like eczema since the special shampoo is too harsh and damages your ends. We in the community do a conditioner coat on our ends to help while shampooing too.

Girl it takes me an hour to wash my hair too! My secret that I’m willing to share is I cleanse my scalp the day before with sulfur 8 shampoo I exfoliate it in and leave it on overnight, the next morning I rinse it out and then I focus on only my strands. My hair is already divided in 4 sections so I wash each section of hair and deep condition for 15 minutes. 😂 I’m really a lazy natural.

I use a paddle wet brush for detangling

@folahontas Год назад

Hey sis! I actually don’t do anything. Staying on top of a routine keeps my hair hydrated in between washes. I will say i get better moisture retention sleep with a satin scarf/bonnet/pillowcase. & i let the steam from the shower kinda “refresh” my wash n go if it’s shrunken or something. But in general i dont have the need to re wet or re apply product at any point in between washes

OK sooooooo first thing I have to do is wash all of my hair. Not just the roots. Also I don't usually take very long but I think less is more so ill just shampoo and condition unless my hair is in bad shape. Usually I condition first cuz it's easier to detangle then I shampoo then I deep condition but I use the 5 minutes and rinse ones.

@nopeninja9765 9 месяцев назад

Only shampooing your roots is not something only the natural hair community perpetuated. That’s something that is recommended by a lot of haircare professionals. There is even a popular dermatologist here on RU-vid that recommended this. Not saying debating on if it works on not I just wanted to correct when people tend to falsely accuse the natural hair community of things.
