Product Buildup - HOW TO REMOVE IT 

I thank God for you! I grew up in a home with a mother who never knew how to care for our hair and I suffered from hair breakage almost all my life. My hair has grown just past my shoulders for the first time in my entire 28 years of living thanks to you.

I'm literally about to unsubscribe from all the other natrual hair channels and just watch you. everything is given to me in detail and I also have a visual. when I understand the science behind my hair I now understand how imperative it is to take care of it!

i love the girl in your shower graphic!!

I love how detailed an informative your videos are!

One request, please put all of your information in book form. I need that in my life. Excellent information as always.

Giovanni tea tree shampoo is amazing for clarifying & refreshing the scalp. Raw apple cider vinegar is also good for those with itchy scalps

Yay!! Part 2. Shampoo is "cool" again!!! Unless of course you use only natural, one ingredient, water soluble hair products. In which case your reading this post in your 5x5 living room in your eco solar powered home, that you have arrived in after a thrilling cycle to home commute. Therefore you.... will.. still have to use shampoo because even natural products will create a buildup over time!!! Shampoo for Everyone!!! I LOVE this video!! I am so happy!! Shampoo is my new FAVORITE Thing. And that Means YOU get a SHAMPOO Bottle!! And YOU get a SHAMPOO Bottle!!! And YOU get a SHAMPOO Bottle!! EVERYBODY Gets a SHAMPOOOOO Bottlllle!!!!!!

You are by far the best at divulging information about hair care. I learned about porosity from you, It has taken me a long way. I also learned about the magnitude of damage a relaxer does to the hair from you. I learned about the PH balance of healthy hair from you. Currently I am transitioning to natural and I have discovered the benefits of apple cider vinegar which relieves soreness and itchiness once I reach the 4 month mark in transitioning from relaxed to natural. I usually abandon my natural hair journey once I reach the 4 month marker but now I know what to do to stay on the natural track. Thank you for this information. You are soooooo awesome.

Very informative but not overwhelming. Love the cartoon - nice touch. Well done! Plus, your hair looks great. I look forward to your next video:)

The breakdowns that you do are a God send. Keep doing what you're doing this is great!!

Your videos are great. Been wearing my natural hair for almost 3 years now and I've learned more in your videos than i have ever

I never come across channels as informative and helpful as yours- good work!

I love your videos! So educational and scientific.

I really enjoy your videos. Your videos are very detailed and through. I completely understand product buildup now. I plan to start washing my hair once a week instead of twice a month. Thank you so much.

So glad you are back. I love watching your videos as they are very informative. Loving your hair cut and style it looks great :-)

This was such a great video! You did an excellent job, I learned so much from this. I've been trying to find solutions for my hair

This is such a great series. Thanks for the informative videos!

Thank you for mentioning that using clarifying shampoos once in a while is ok...Gotta get the word out there again that sometimes clarifying shampoos are ok. Once I mentioned to another naturally textured woman that I sometimes use a sulfate shampoo to clarify and she 'bout just bit me head off telling me how I was wrong in using it. Telling me all my hair would "dry up and break off"...It took all the strength I had not to go upside her head...anyway...thanks for another informative video...keep them coming Cheers!!!

Great info :)

You are a God sent. There is so much misinformation on the internet

great video!

I love your videos. I noticed you said that you shaped your hair and I love the result. I was wondering if you trimmed it yourself or did you have it professionally shaped up? If you did it yourself can you do a tutorial if possible? Thank you so much and stay blessed.

So glad you're back. My hair is acting different it looks dull, and way more frizzy then usual. I wash or co-wash once a week. So I don't know if it is build up or what. My hair is color treated my a professional and that has been every since I became natural two years ago. I been experiencing this problem for the pass two months. The other day I sprayed oil on it and it just sat on top all day. So sorry for such a long post lol

Whew, I was getting impatient for this part two. Lol

Wow.. I did great!! 😮❤🎉

Hey please talk about products someone with dreads can use esp with regards to removing product build up, moisturizing both your hair and scalp, and mild traction alopecia especially around the temple areas

Hi, my question is : Does clay washes can remove insoluble ingredients? If yes which one is better between Rhassoul clay, green clay and bentonite clay. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used my acv rinse in a while and I am getting crazy product buildup since mid june. So I will start with that, if it doesn't clear up.... :(. Can you give me the best clarifying shampoos you've used?

What are the best clarifying shampoos to use?

I'm trying to figure out if my hair is going through the exogen stage, experiencing increased hair breakage due to a mild heat damage, or if I need a good protein treatment. Brief account of the heat damage. Got a trim in March ( this year). I informed the stylist that I had applied avocado butter and grapeseed oil to my hair. She reassured me they were HEAT PROTECTANTs. She began flat ironing. No blowing drying or anything. I had just washed my hair and followed the loc method. I could hear SIZZLING SOUNDS ( similar to frying eggs). I stopped her more than 3 times. I was told my hair wasn't being fired and that I was hearing the products. My hair was put in a protective style immediately thereatfter. Don't ask me why she just didn't blow dry my hair and trim. Guess she wanted to see my length or something. But anyway, after a month in a half cornrows (natural hair) and half sengelese twist ( extensions) style. I noticed my hair was breaking off more than usual. My hair would break off just from a simple rub and more some when finger detangling /comb detangling. I noticed slight thinning. I have extremely extremely thick hair. I'm high density. You can't see my scalp when fully dried. I also had very very small section of my hair that would hang lower than the rest when wet or dry. . My hair normally shrinks 50 percents or more. That has also seemed to change slightly. I have no straight ends. It's just the constant breakage and pieces of hanging curls. I have/had tighter curls. I got a another trim this month (MAY) from another stylist. BEST IN HOUSTON... btw, I'm considering purchasing the real protein treatment. Although I'm not sure if my hair needs a protein treatment. It's just breakage! Breakage!! Breakage!!!. ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM SOMEONE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! !!!! THANKS

OK so what shampoos do you recommend for retaining moisture and one for clarifying?

What about using clays such as bentonite clay or apple cider vinegar to clarify your hair? Do they remove silicone or insoluble products? Can they be used as healthier alternatives to help "restart" your hair?

I love your videos they are so educative. How old is your hair please

What clarifying shampoo do you recommend to get rid of non-soluble silicon ?🥰

Thanks for the information! I try to make sure I use water soluble products because I don't want to have to use shampoos with SLS. I used baking soda on my hair and I could feel the difference but someone posted microscopic pic results of baking soda being ineffective. Thing is, she said it didn't remove oil layers & her microscope could not see product build up so I'm not sure if her results are saying anything important. Nevertheless, thanks for the info!

Green beauty does a clarifying rinse count?

God bless u😊

Hi Thank you so much for this video!!! I need some help though, I recently shaved my hair. My hair has grown about three inches. I'm trying to figure out how often to wash my hair. I don't use products apart from a leave in condition once a week. Every other day I use oils, aloe Vera gel and water. Is it bad to wash my hair every 2-3 weeks? I can't tell my build up because I don't use much products... Thank you so much, I recently just subscribed because I'm literally clueless about what my hair regime should be. Your animations are very helpful❤️

How do u feel about rinsing hair with apple cider vinegar?

what about using bentonite clay? I haven't used shampoo in a year or so and I feel my hair is thriving better because of it. But I've just realized that I have low porosity thanks to your vids! So do you thin using bentonite clay is a good replacement of shampoo? I wash my hair with it once every two weeks here lately, but I would like your input. I hope you respond. But have a wonderful day and thanks for all of the knowledge!

Hello, do you have any shampoo suggestions that are cleansing yet moisturizing? It would be a great help to me as I haven't come across any, natural or other that don't cause my hair to feel worse than the before use, thx

Love your videos. I was about to use baking soda on my hair and tha’s how i got to know your channel. The thing is that i used a soap on my hair and now it feels dirty even if i use shampoo. And before that i used a leave in conditioner every day even in my roots and it leaved my hair also so heavy, i used to wash it several times with shampoo and i felt that the shampoo did not get out of my hair completely (that’s why i used a soap 😰What can i do??? Greetings from Mexico 🤗

What about ACV rinses for build up on the hair?

Does witch hazel also work? I have braids in my hair and I'm not sure.

Some folks pretreat their hair with oils prior to washing to prevent hygral fatigue. What are your thoughts about that?

Do you agree with using baking soda to clarify

Does Apple cidar vinegar really do a good enough job of clarifying?

I use my DIY flaxseed gel. Would you still consider that insoluble?

would putting baking soda in my shampoo help remove build up?

Is Apple Cider Vinegar good for washing your hair?

Can you please do a video on products that are harmfull for our hair?! And explain what they do?? Pls

Hi I'm a new subscriber and ice watched a few of your videos. I'm also newly natural I've been natural for 4months and I've been loving it. I did quite a bit of research too just to understand some things for myself and I decided not to use shampoo in my hair but instead wash my hair with conditioner and for a deeper cleansing of the scalp I make my apple cider vinegar rinse. What I want to ask if is it essential to use shampoo in your hair is so why?

What is a clarifying shampoo! Pleaseee spell it out for us

How about an apple cider vinegar rinse?

What about Peg-100

I use the clarifying shampoo at least once a week. It is an organic shampoo and is not too harsh on my hair but do you think that I should be using it less often than I do?

This was a really informative and helpful video. I have so much product buildup in my hair, even when I do an apple cider vinegar rinse AND shampoo my hair, and I scratch my scalp, I still have product buildup under my nails. I don't even know what to do anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Hi, tganks for the video. To be honest, I was expectong information about which surfactants remove what kind of builup? When you use cocamidopryl betaine or other nonionic surfactants you will clean different things than with sodium laureth sulfate or sodium cocoyl istheonate or c14-16 olefin sulfonate. Does they remove polyquaterniums for example? Or excess oil or both? And non soluble silicones? In other words, when do you choose which cleanser? Maybe you have already a video on that? I liked the video's about clay for cleaning.

washing my hair once a month comment made me cringe a bit because i put gel and leave in conditioner heavily in hair. I put the leave in heavily because i think i might have low porosity hair so it gets a bit dry after abut 3 days and the gel for keeping my curls uniform. Would you suggest maybe using a clarifying shampoo every two weeks instead or is the once a month still your best suggestion for my scenario..?

What do u think of the water only wash method? U only use your natural sebum to moisturize your hair, by washing your hair every day until u have full sebum coverage. No products, less buildup, and u only use water, but u can use oil for the tips of your hair.

If you use sulfate shampoo to wash your hair do you still recommend clarifying?
