This is why you shouldn’t use coconut oil on your natural hair 

To bad your not in Brooklyn ny😢

My question is how do you get the roots to lay or look neat? My daughter is new to wearing her curly 4c hair

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤coconut oil is good for an inflamed scalp

Did you forget to list the Doux Mousse Def?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Do you know your hair porosity levels. Knowing this is very key Tor knowing what products both natural and unnatural works Best for your hair

Before you use coconut oil, wet your hair, spray it up. It helps the oil seep in. The water also opens them pores up, so the coconut oil can dissolve in. My hair is long because of this.

"Hey gurrrl, what you doing? Nothing? Me too." Haha

​@@yahelisrael6958 I have high porosity and it still just sits on top

@@thekalenichannel1812 yes because coconut oil as with any oil is a sealant. Meaning it mean to seal in moisture. No oil is good for Moisturizer there are other products for that. But they other oils like Almond or Avocado oil

Only water "moisturizes." Coconut oil, olive oil, argan oil etc can penetrate the hair shaft. Castor oil, jojoba oil, shea butter will coat your hair. When applied onto damp hair, it's called "sealing" because it seals the water in, so these coating oils are sometimes also called sealing oils. For dry hair, your best friend is a spray bottle with water in it. For extra dry hair, when I finish washing it, while it's still damp I'll use a light leave-in conditioner that my hair works well with (to penetrate) and then something heavier like shea butter to "seal" the water in while it's still damp I'll then twist it up. I'll apply conditioner then shea butter section-by-section, right before I twist that very section up. (If it's starting to dry, spray the hair with that water spray bottle.) By doing this, my hair remains moist and resilient for days rather than drying into fragile straw within an hour.

That part.

​@@RM-cw1ix : Thank you for sharing this info with us 😊🔥🔥🔥.

I know!!🤔

@@RM-cw1ix in addition to this some people’s hair (like mine) is super dry so we actually need products with humectants in it (think of a leave in conditioner) to help your hair hold onto that water, and then a sealant such as an oil or butter to keep that moisture trapped in your hair. For me I use the TGIN leave in conditioner paired with a mineral oil butter (my hair get super dry, especially in winter cuz I live in a super dry and cold state), that really locks all the water in my hair and prevent it from escaping out. Then every took weeks I make sure to remove that hair butter with a Castile soap shampoo (it works really well for my hair, but not everyone can handle it), apply a deep conditioner, rinse that out, apply the leave in and mineral oil butter and repeat the process.

same. i honestly think not all coconut oils are the same quality- and im not just talking about refined and unrefined.

I used coconut nut oil on my hair since I was in college. It’s best for my 4b hair. I also use castor, olive, and rosemary oil on my hair and occasionally I use blue magic. I’m allergic to mousse. Should I use gel instead?

same

A lot of people who hate it live in cold or temperate climates. They warm up the oil, but if their thermostat is set to 75 degrees or below there's a good chance the oil will harden in their hair. Hence, the crunchy, dry feeling. It's even worse during winter. The solution is to mix coconut oil with another oil so that it stays liquid

​@Debbs207 All of this right here!

Precisely. I use my oil mix as a sealant after moiturizing with water. My hair is loc'd now post cancer. Pre-cancer my hair was armpit length. Now my hair is bra strap length.

What is it sealing?

@@TWForeeever It seals in the moisture. I spritz my hair with a water/rose water mix then use the oil to seal in the moisture.

@@lisah.1024 Oil and water don’t mix though, so how is the oil sealing anything in?

@@TWForeeever Precisely. Your hair is spritzed or misted with water, not soaking wet. Then the oil is used over the hair to seal in the moisture. No mixing to be done. I've been using this method on my hair since I went natural back in 2010 and it works. If you've never done this to your hair, please watch a few RU-vid vids about moisturizing and sealing to get a clearer understanding.

True I have a niece who only use coconut oil and has the most silky hair. I tried it but nope, did not work for me 😢

Exactly

It works for me

It’s a hi-po vs lo- po thing

Are you always that contrary? Denying logic? HOW do you think OIL moisturizes???

Agreed🤝🏻

But I thought water ultimately dries shit out- like tryin to moisturize your skin with water. It will work- for about 60 seconds, before leaving your skin dryer than it was to begin with 🤷🏽‍♀️

@@poutinedream5066 That's the whole point of the LCO/LOC method. You put the moisture in your hair first, then lock it in with oil/lipids so the liquid (water) doesn't evaporate as quickly. Some people have hair types that hold on to moisture (for better and for worse), some people can't keep moisture in their hair for the life of them without oil aids (myself), and many others slide all over that spectrum in ways one wouldn't expect. That's why it's important to understand your body and how it behaves with stimuli (water, oils, handling) instead of just blindly doing crap to it hoping everything works out. If your hair dries out abnormally quick after watering it, try applying a water-based cream to extend the time it stays moisturized, so you can lock it in with a light oil after. Hope this helps! ✌🏿

Exactly.

​@@poutinedream5066no water moisturises but because it dries out you have to lock it in with oil, oil didn't penetrate skin and hair that's why you use water to pull it in. You need to balance the two.

Well, like opinions, everyone's body chemistry is different. Therefore, different things will work for different people....

Yes ! Well said !!! I disagree with her! It’s an all body moisturizer . It and jojoba oil are the only oils that can moisturize . Water is the true moisturizer . Coconut oil has water in it so it can moisturize and jojoba oil is the closest to hair sebum so it has a moisturizing effect .

Facts! I use fractionated coconut oil on my hair and skin. Fractionated coconut oil is oil that stays in a liquid state.

Yessssss !!!!

im a guy and i got 4c hair that is past my shoulders when stretched, the only thing I ever use is water and castor oil.

Exactly!

NATURAL HAIR…

Omoh, so hair too has porosity 😮

Facts!! I have high porosity hair and I stopped using it for about a year to see the difference. My hair became dryer no matter how much water and leave-ins I used and broke more. My hair needs oil.

@@julietabah4928 Sure does. Search for hair porosity test. You usually need one stand of your hair and water. We talk a lot about curl pattern but porosity is more important and most of us don’t know what porosity we have.

@@Blizerton For years I thought I was low porosity and I couldn’t figure out why my hair would still be dry 2 days after I did something to my hair that was supposed to keep hair moisturized. Learning the correct porosity was a game changer. And coconut oil was and is key!

This should've been pinned 2 weeks ago.

Same!

Same ❤

And same 👋🏾

Ikrr

EXACTLY !!! Sis should know this already

My first two babies got cradle cap, but I used coconut oil on my third baby's scalp, and she never got cradle cap or dry scalp at all. Focus was on the scalp, though, not the hair.

I'm Trinidadian and was only taught to use coconut oil on your skin. I use castor oil on my scalp.

Yes I've used it for my grandson whn he had a small diaper rash.

Yes sis,we Caribbean ppl been using coconut oil in baby's hair and skin, it is a tradition. We make our coconut oil so it's all natural, I've always loved my coconut oil but I add other oils to it to make my own concoction.

@@FloridaTrini same actually & I’m Jamaican. Coconut oil for skin, castor oil for hair. And we also make both from scratch! St. Bess, JA 🇯🇲

Same here

❤

Nothing is worst than heat so I’ll continue using it it works for me

Coconut oil is excellent for my hair

Beautiful hair!

I’m Caucasian, but this is a beautiful hairstyle, and had no idea you had to work so hard to achieve it.

​@@marypat7196RIGHT! its shocking and probably rly expensive too

Curly hair always amazes me too. Healthy natural hair like that is so incredibly gorgeous. 🔥

​@WillowT Dog as someone with curly hair, (a different type to this), I'd kill for straight! You can have the choice with straight, whereas with curly, you're stuck with it. This style though is gorgeous, though. Mine is just doing an impression of a birds nest more often than not - it sticks out, I get horns, I can't comb or brush it or it frizzes right up and forget any sort of moist air, I look like I've been dragged through 3 hedges let alone one.its like velcro, too, so even gathering it for a ponytail is hard going as I get loops and tufts.

For us i.e. Indians, coconut oil z an emotion... We literally live wd dat oil. May b there r sum pple in ds world on whom ds oil doesn't work but for a majority of Indians, it's d go to hair oil..and it works wonders

I've never had a problem with coconut oil either. I mix it with my conditioner for deep moisture treatments, I use it in my 3 oil mixture for my scalp, and sometimes use it as a light seal...never have issues washing it out. Maybe people with low porosity hair have issues idk

@@ohreally404 a lot of people leave it in which is the problem. It’s like leaving shampoo in your hair and going about your business

I've never had a problem with coconut oil. There are different types. I use organic coconut oil, not the cheap stuff. Unfortunately, people don't know that there is a difference.

@@JustMeVanessathere isn’t actually a very big difference between organic/unrefined and the “cheap stuff.” However, a lot of people that have more textured hair also have lower porosity hair. So it’s already resistant to moisture, and adding a hydrophobic barrier on top ends up drying your hair in the long run.

Why are you watching this?

@@mewho6199because it’s not only educational for people with coily hair but also for people with other kinds of hair textures. Or should we remain ignorant?

​@@mewho6199 Because learning is interesting and always a good choice

​@@mewho6199Because it's cool to learn about people other than yourself so you can better connect with and understand their needs as unique individuals?

Dat it do.. Even on skin. Lock it in!! If not I’ll be ashy here in dmv today 😂

@@bluemetaphor look it up lol the molecules of coconut oil are too large to soak into your hair shaft. All it does is coat the hair and possibly add shine, but that’s it. It doesn’t moisturize. Same for your skin.

I think it's all about a person's porosity. My hair prefer extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil over coconut oil, but I know many works great on. We have to find what works on our individual locks and that has nothing to do with ethnicity. What works wonders for one person may not work for you.

@@bluemetaphor she didn’t?? She just said it’s not a good moisturizer...

Facts

I do too ❤

💯💯💯

That’s true. I detest coconut oil. Never does anything for my hair and dries it out. Castor oil makes my hair super thick. So it’s true, all hair is different.

I use and it makes my scalp feel GOOD!. Organic coconut cold press.

Oil neither moisturizes, nor hydrates. It is hydrophobic. It will seal in moisture because of that, which is why it works on damp wet hair, because wet hair is already moisturized.

@@torilovebyrd8418 Oh okay. Thank you 😊

I'm African American and jojoba with castor oil is best. if your hair is falling out a few drops of rosemary helps. Grapeseed is ok also.

Same! I have the TINIEST wave in my hair but most hairdressers who don't have curl in their hair don't even know what to do with that when cutting it - they just say "style it" with excessive amounts of time, heat and product 🤦‍♀️ instead of giving me a proper cut that takes where that wave is going to fall into consideration. I also have to give a huge shout out to the hairdresser in Japan who was trained on foreign hair - possibly one of the best haircuts I've ever had.

@@gracelewis6071 Yes! My sister has Puerto Rican ancestral hair...those curls, that thickness...it's wrong to just damage the hair into "straightened submission". Curls are beautiful!

So how would you personally hydrate your hair

Not the same, your hair is exposed to the elements and dry up fast, your insides are moist, the mucosal that line your guts are not dry, otherwise you’re done. You sweat, you pee and your body’s mechanism tells you it’s time to hydrate. That hairdresser doesn’t know basic biology.

@frannyloren5976not enough because it's just water. There are beneficial hair like oils out there that moisturize without drowning your hair. What are y'all using to oil your hair ??? Just straight olive oil??? Vegetable oil???

@@nolanlee9066Thank you. It’s so annoying when people do that. They know we’re going to want to know the product.

​@@angel1xoxo because for this method irs not about the product your use, its about the technique and detoxing your hair completely of oils and butters, washing every 5 to 7 days, and being consitent if you want to see result. Like without products my curls are already forming/have been formed after my first wash, by the time i finish conditioning my curls have entirely formed so im just using gel to hold the curls not the create curls

Closed mouths don’t get fed. I’m sure if anybody wanted to know she wouldn’t mind telling them

@@Destinyfirst Cool. thanks for sharing 😊

I'm Indian. Our hair texture is very different, it generally ranges from straight to loose or bouncy curls. And coconut oil works very well for us, to protect from the heat and humidity and also promote growth. But it may not be suitable for hair types like these.

totally different climate. coconut oil antifungal and drying.

Asian hair and black hair are typically on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the cuticle. So while coconut oil works for Asian hair which usually has a very low-lying cuticle to add over top of the already smooth cuticle and make it slicker, when added to black hair with its very open cuticle, it just coats the hair layers, making the strands look and feel more ragged instead of smoother. We really need hair science to become a thing because so far, it really has not been.

True. And can depend on where on the skin. I can use it on every part of my body except face. It breaks my face out.

That's because they think that they're the only ones that can do hair, and they gate keep.... tipical black people shit.

Looks like she used The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam. I recognized the pump bottle. You can get it from Amazon.

Right

It's not like they are being secretive. Sometimes it's liability.

I was going to say, what did people do before hair products were a thing back in the day?...logic dictates its going to be something to hand, like coconuts.

That's what I do I wash add the oil while wet

I add oil in the bath either coconut oil or even olive oil. Do you have to be very careful with your amount because it can make your water slippery even a half a tablespoon and a bathtub is way too much. That way it gets all of my hair and my skin. You really only need the tiniest amount. So I can see if you overdid it it would be problematic. I tried directly over my hair with olive oil and it was a horrible experience that's because I looked up old tutorials about hair before all the newfangle hair and shampoo treatments.

It works for me too!

Right? Im black with 3b curls and i use coconut oil all the as a prepoo and oil after the shower. Works for me 🤷🏾‍♀️✨

I think so too. Looks like although the stylist says that coconut oil doesn’t work it certainly looks like it’s been working for her.

Right! You & me both. Plus my sister & mom. It never looks the same. It’s like you’re forgetting a step they told you.

Same

@@EmpowHer23it might not be that the client is forgetting a step. But may be that the stylist does something automatically while working without thinking about it. Like when I right down recipes when baking I don’t write down every single little detail like scraping down the bowl while mixing. Because I do it without thinking about. But someone who has never baked before may not know to do that.

Same.

Right.

Real coconut oil is what my Nana raised me to use. My hair been shit since I was told to stop using it. 😒 Different things work for different people.

Inexpensive natural hair treatments don't work for her business model. But yes coconut oil and other natural products found in anyone's kitchen work wonders for people who like to nourish their hair instead of poison it with chemicals. What's the purpose of commercial products? Hair looks good today, gone tomorrow 😣 Take a look at natural inexpensive hair products from Africa. Hair down to their waist, no breakage, and beautiful. Jesus Christ can help you figure it out. The Bible tells us when it comes to hairstyles: "ladies, if it costs an arm and a leg to maintain, don't believe them. It's never worth it." Who has ears let them hear.

It’s a difference between low and high porosity. It makes my hair dry and brittle. I can’t do it.

my curls are so porous. if I put coconut oil on after washing and moisturizing, when I wake up my hair has drank up all that coconut oil and looks so shiny & silky.

Coconut oil actually does cause drying issues in some of our hair… I can’t use it as a sealant. It does nothing for me. Especially to hair that has had too much protein, adding coconut oil makes the hair hard. My hair got crunchy until I stopped and switched to grapeseed oil. She didn’t say don’t use oils, but this client def needed to stop using coconut oil for the time being. There are women with 4c hair on RU-vid that have said this. Let the stylist do what she does bc there is hair science involved. She knows this, so she explains it to her client properly. In addition: coconut oil clarifies is what she said , yes it’s actually an antibacterial and antiviral oil that you can take to clear yeast inside and outside the body, heal rashes and other infections etc. it can even be used during home birth for the v-canal and perineal. It’s a powerful oil. But to be used as it needs to be used. She knows what she’s saying.

​​@@CrystalAlyse the stylist said she had to clarify her hair due to the client using the coconut oil. She meant she had to rid the hair of the buildup of coconut oil on her hair.

It works beautifully for my hair especially when I do a hot oil treatment… That’s what my mom and grandma used to use back home in jamaica

I have medium-high porosity hair & my hair loves coconut oil.

Same! It works well on my hair and makes it very soft and easy to work with!

Exactly

Facts. Like everyone in the USA is going to go to her salon 🙄

Me too Black people are the only ones like this they won’t help out each other. It’s like they just want to see you go down instead of doing better so I was pissed me off about this ever since I was a small.

I got you sis. It looks like the Doux mousse def texture foam. I have it and it’s fire, the ONLY product that works for my type 4 wash and gos. I apply on clean dry stretched hair ( I stretch by moisturizing and putting about 6 braids in and wear them over night, no heat needed) I apply the mousse generously (don’t be stingy with the product!). I use a fairly good amount on each section then rake through with my fingers. Hair is already detangled from stretching it so I don’t brush but if you brush for your wash and gos then go for it. I let it air dry about 60% then sit under the dryer or use my diffuser if I’m not in a rush. Otherwise you can just sit under the dryer right away but I find that it causes my hair to shrink more when I dry right away. My roots for the most part are dry because I don’t apply it to wet hair. I got the mousse from Sally. It was $15. They also have it at Target and Walgreens. Sorry for the loooong post, ask for info and you shall receive 💃🏾

@SaraitheLioness The hairstyles has a shhhh about them because melanemic (palm walkers) WP will always take a look into something not theirs. So, it all has to be carefully shared in person. Not over the internet. They constantly, STAY trynna be in our business. Said with love 💕 promise.

I said the same thing.

Right? Like I don’t understand what this proved 😂

exactly what I was thinking

Did you see how much needed to be trimmed though? Not good. Thickness and length don’t necessarily determine health.

Her hair looked great

@@nellybtheartistokay but her ends needing to be trimmed isn’t because of the coconut oil what.

@@kellyjaay1577 not necessarily “because of the coconut oil”, just that the coconut oil seems to not be much useful in the sense of hydrating her hair-which would have essentially prevented the breakage she experienced.

@@nellybtheartist You literally have no proof of that though. You’re just assuming that the coconut oil is what’s causing breakage.

Exactly

So it's not a moisturizer but rather a moisture sealent. Meaning it locks in moisture but it doesn't add any. Which could be why it helped you with your shedding problem.

@Lovelee Universe well either way, my hair is in the middle of my back and very healthy. If I could show a picture I most definitely would.

Same. My hair hates any kind of oil. 🤷🏽‍♀️

​@@GhanaMamba Yes. That's what oils and greases do. You put it on top of your moisturizing products.

Coconut oil is not meant for every hair type. That’s basically what it comes down to.

Do you find the moisturizer still works under the oil? I used to do that, but it felt like the moisturizer was just being covered by the oil, and wasn’t able to absorb moisture (mine is a humectant/absorbs water to moisturize) My go to now is: - a tiny bit of moisturizer on the ends first, - oiling the ends then distributing the last tiny bit onto the scalp - moisturizer on everything last.

@@gd2234_ That could work and it also depends on your hair porosity. Sounds like you have high porosity type hair unless your moisturizer is made right with correct and proper ph for your specific hair type. I do the same, start from the bottom but I also add a little in between depending on how dry my hair is feeling. My hair soaks up moisture like yours but it stays moisturized longer when I put oil on top of that. I also oil my scalp twice a day cause it eats it up something serious lol. I've always made my own products with good herbs and oils. Also, I have locs now and have done the same routine prior to that. Been natural since 07'. Been locked since 2020.

@@kat982 I feel you Sis, that's why I said, do what works for you. We all have different hair types, with different hair porosity and some hair is sensitive to certain types of proteins that's in oil. Jojoba and coconut work best for my scalp, sunflower, which is high oleic, is amazing for adding to moisturizer if you make your own like me. It's conditioning as well as olive oil. But if I use olive oil alone, my hair doesn't react the same because it's sensitive to that type of protein. Know yourself through and through and find what works best for you.😇 👑💎 -Shalawam

@@lesliewit We know and that wasn't the reason why we are talking about coconut oil Hun. Thanks for your input though👑💎 It is true that she used shingling as technique. We were discussing how coconut oil effects peoples hair differently.

SAME!!!

She must’ve only used coconut oil as a moisturizer/saturation. I can see where that can go wrong, when I use natural coconut (food section) & shampoo/conditioner free of harmful additives on my real hair. Works just fine ❤

Right, it looks like it works for her hair

Thank you lol, people really love to project their issues onto others! Been using mainly coconut oil for my scalp for over 7 years

You did a beautiful job, her hair looks great in the end!! Great job!!! 🤗
