Thank you so much for the video Barbara. Your washday routine in braids was simple and easy to follow- which I absolutely love. I dislike long washdays. And I do agree with you, washing in braids helps minimize the tangles a lot!
I would love to see the take down process as well. Seeing that your hair is fine like mine is helping to commit to the process. I need to be able to shampoo my scalp weekly without losing my ends. I’m working so hard to go it long.
I used to do this with my hair but ive noticed that i can't clean my HAIR. I workout.. plus grease traps dirt and scents. I 100% agree on keeping the hair sectioned, but i prefer to take the braids out.
@@dearinsomniadontletthebedb9237 On the day before wash day, I take down my braids and use that time to detangle and prepoo. I put in twists and wash because I do feel like my hair gets cleaner with twists as well. After deep conditioning and any other treatments, I rebraid my hair and do this over again. I wash every two weeks. I love her routine and had to just tween it just a little to make it work for me. Sounds like you did the same!! How’s your journey coming along?
@@setapartaay925 yeah. I'll be doing it this way too. I like a more cleaner finish so I use abit of heat so not washing in between just after the 2 weeks. If I was having it with no heat then I'd wash in between but still get the braids out and detangle first.
@@BarbaraBirungiSunflower very true that you sound so humble. One thing for sure you become attractive when you're humble. I feel you when you smile and do the demos out of love.
This was exactly what I needed to see my hair is very dense with thick strands so this wash day is what I would follow from now on it makes perfect sense, I'm 10 months natural and my hair is 8 1/2 inches long. Thanks very much for the video.
This is nice and simple. Thanks for sharing. Do you always wash your hair like this ? And if it were time for you to redo your braids would you moisturize and everything before undoing the braids?
Thank you. I am glad it was helpful.I do wash my hair like this most often because it is easy and quick. if it were time to redo them. I can moisturise them with braids or take them down and moisturise then redo them one by one.Either way works for me.
My ends coil up like that too in ringlets and they are soooo happy together 😁.. the issue sometimes I forget how much they like twist together that I cause a knot at the end when unraveling my twists I gave to remember to start at my very ends then my its alright from there 🤣🤣 Love your videos and advice 💯
Thank you for the video. I will try this because when I wash my hair in twists, they unravel, which can be very inconvenient. In addition, when people say washing their hair in braids doesn't work, my firm belief is that it all depends on the products the individual is putting in their hair for this washing method not to work for them. Furthermore, our hair requires fewer products that are of good quality, such as: Shampoo Conditioner Leave in conditioner Natural oil/s for hot oil treatment, and lastly, a non-alcohol quality gel to hold the hair for a week without manipulation until your next wash day.
How often do you refresh (pull out and re-plait)? I have my plaits in since April 17 and I have washed once and refreshed once because the root areas looks like mini bird nests😣 because I realize your root at the plait is still neat after washing. Thanks.
I refresh them every after two weeks but I wash my braids every week as I would if my hair was out.I moisturise every after wash. I re- moisturise one every week without removing the braids-just on top of the braids. After two weeks, i wash and redo my braids to keep them neat and my scalp clean and avoid frizzy roots or tangles.
I loved your video. I have some mini braids in my hair that been in there for two weeks. I’m trying to leave them in for a month to thicken up my hair and retain length. Thanks for the video. It was very awesome.
I am glad you found this video. Very helpful because you plan on leaving your hair for one month. I would encourage you to wash it every week or every other week so that you can retain the length that you want to retain. The best is to keep it moisturized in those braids.
@@BarbaraBirungiSunflower Hello Ma'am i still face difficulties planning a routine and retaining my hair length. I recently noticed that I do have low porosity hair and so may routine had to change.
@@ndolowalimbe6210 Find a routine that is simple and easy for you.Retaining hair length is all about moisturising and protecting your hair ends and scalp care. I am glad you changed your hair routine to fit your hair porosity because that's very important.
I’m so happy I ran across this video. I plaited my hair and was looking for a video on how to wash my hair in plaits. Thank You!🥰 I think I’m gonna keep the plaits in for two weeks before taking them down. How often do you wash your hair?
This is a valid question and definitely something I struggle with. For some reason I avoid touching And I sleep with a bonnet and it still looks horrible 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Thank for sharing Barbara!! 🥰
Am trying braiding for longer but I'll be straightening my hair prior a little bit. So I think I'll prefer to just refresh it after a week, then wash it AFTER I remove and detailed the braids then rebraid afters again. Looks like it will tangle like crazy especially if it's natural. And looks like the washing just makes it more unruly and undone. Tyfs. Definitely helped me out.
Lucky me to get all tips before i start my journey as am waiting for relaxed hair to get totally off but staterd counting my new growth 🥰 from Jan 2022 and i feel the thickness #webale Barbie🥰😍❤️
@@BarbaraBirungiSunflowerPlease do, Babara! This is such a great offering. I have really low energy right now, and I've been looking for a routine that allows me to still care for my hair without manipulation, extensions, or heat. Back to basics ❤
So I’m 4c and have been having issues with breakage. I was getting hair trimmed every 6 months and thought I was taking care of it. Would moisturize once a week LCO and pull It up in a bun for a week and repeat every week. I just started getting into deep conditioners Do u have any recommendations... I use Aussie moist for shamp/condi and I use Cantu and an oil for leave in if I don’t deep condition before Seems like everytime I got a trim there was growth but bad breakage to where I had to get it trimmed back up to where I started. I’ve yet to see any real growth Is it the ponytail with weave for the week
Hey Rita. Nice meeting you darling. First, moisturising every week with LCO is great for 4c hair.It is enough unless your hair gets dry quickly then you need to UP your game on your LCO method. Hair breakage issues can be caused by many factors but my assumptions Is if your hair is dry, not moisturised well, if you don't use deep conditioner every wash, your hair will break(at least that's what mine does) How to stop breakage? Moisturise the ends of your hair, use heavy butters, grease or oils to seal the moisture and deep conditioner weekly to strength your hair stands. Detangle your hair well to avoid tangled knots which causes breakage. Put your hair in mini braids or twists( I prefer mini braids because they keep my hair stretched and protected) until wash day. Try using a tea rinse every time you wash your hair after wash. You will notice a huge difference in the breakage after a couple of weeks. Check out my video about it if it helps. Yes! Start using deep conditioner after shampoo every time you wash your hair. Get a deep conditioner that can be left in for atleast 1 hour ( Again if you have 4c hair that comes in handy so go for it and your hair will thank you) All products you are using are good! just add a deep conditioner of your good sis Lastly, please reduce on the trimming. Trimming is great and you should do it but take it slow. Try dusting your ends and pay attention to those ends when moisturising your hair. The truth is we retain length on the ends of our hair so care for it more. Thank you so much for journeying with me. You can do it girl.
i was having issues with dryness and split ends with my 4c hair. So i went back old school and started using grease in my hair and my hair has improved drastically. it doesn't spilt or break like before
I love to use Cantu as well but I would experience breakage when I used the Cantu with argan oil because it has Isopropyl alcohol which is very drying for your hair. Not all alcohols are bad for your hair, but make sure you read the ingredient labels on products and do your research!
gorg. muse. im glad i bumped into you because these mini braid/plait ladies were stressing me out. They had like 50 plaits on their head, at least they might redo them every month or so. So when I saw yours at about 25, I would call yours smedium and they look great. You still get some versatility and you redo every 2 weeks, easier at your size for sure. lovely. im glad we feel beautiful in our coily frizzy simple hair do...
