Why I don’t deep condition every wash day + Q&A with Hairstyling 

Hey 👋🏾 amen! Hope you saw your name in the vid too 🎉🎉. I appreciate your regular contribution. You make a good point because it was quite quick to install. Probably about an hour after doing all my partings. The only challenge for me is I don't feel like I have great access to my hair to remoisturise it under the flat twists. But it's a nice pretty style as a one off for me. Hopefully you do get to try it ☺️

I did see the shout out, I appreciated that!! 🥰 I almost missed it cause at first I was just listening, but went back to view the video so I could see your hairstyle! 😅 But what I meant was would you consider doing a chat video while you did your regular routine, the way you normally wear your twists and plaits? I hope that makes sense. I enjoyed the chatting about hair while watching you do yours. It’s like a virtual conversation with the girls. 🌺

@@A_Wilson ohhhh sorry I misunderstood. Yes definitely i'd consider that. Those videos end up much longer though (like this one). Maybe doing voice overs would be easier but yeah I'll have a think about how I can do those and keep them short. Thanks for the idea 💡😊

I totally agree! A quick application whilst in the shower is enough for me - as an when I feel my hair needs it. Certainly not every time I wash it.

Couldn't forget you lol. Ah you're gonna take the jump to plaits, nice one. See how you get on ❣️

This is such a good point. It shouldn't be a directive, but more of a "try it and see if your hair needs it or doesn't". It's great that you've learned what your hair absolutely needs compared to what your hair may or may not benefit from.

Thank you so much! And yes I hope to get to it soon ☺️

100000%. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Haha DIY days behind you. Fair enough. I imagine it gets a bit long after a while. That's interesting, I just released a video on length plateaus. Are you saying you had quite a few plateau stages? That's quite new to me. Really appreciate your thorough comment sharing your journey and your experiences 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@Natural2020_ Hey! I'm long winded so i can't help lol.Yes i've had different plateaus, some more significant than others. I might have commented on the hair plateau video, i don't remember. The hardest was getting past arm pit length. My hair would hover around my shoulders and after i started healthy hair practices my hair was healthier and got longer but was stuck at arm pit length for years. Mostly because even though i was using protective styles and moisturising my hair, i was detangling my hair daily lol i was a teenager and very hardheaded, even after the women on hair forums kept saying don't do that. I had to find out myself. I had such a negative view of what my hair could do and back then and my protective style was buns, as no one was really using twists or plaits the way it is now. Once my life got busy i stopped detangling my hair in-between wash days and noticed when i was in the shower where my wet hair was on my body. From that point my hair was mid back length for years and i was happy but wanted waist length but didn't change much. Just like my first plateau i got over this by accident. I changed moisturiser and stopped using thick heavy oily products. For my hair it was too much, thick hair butters like mango butter sealed in dryness in my hair and i wasn't have the results others were. I also noticed that my hair was more hydrated if i made sure the moisturiser was smoothed into my strands until the product was fully absorbed ( only on freshly washed hair though ) and my curls clumped together. The moisturising session after i wash my hair is the most significant, if i do that properly i can be lazy during the week. That's who i got to waist length. Whenever i'm hip length, its periods when im very consistent with my hair and what i've been finding lately, if im mostly wearing plaits or twists. Usually my hair is waist length but since wearing plaits and twist, its hip length without lots of split ends. I used to get to hip length then have to cut it because of split ends. I still love my buns i understand i need to have a week or two where my hair is in plaits or twists or my hair splits

@@Nottiy thank you for explaining. That is so interesting to hear about your different plateaus and how you overcame each of them. I love that. I can hear that sometimes our hair can respond differently at different lengths. So I'll be looking out for that as mine gets longer over the years. Thanks again for responding 😊

@@Natural2020_ Definitely our hair response to things different at different lengths. There's things i can do at waist length that causes length retention issues when its shorter. I've cut my hair shortish before since learning to look after my hair so i know its not just hair practices. I feel like its easier to keep my hair moisturised when its longer vs shorter. Long hair doesn't seem to need re-moisturising as much. My hair is dry right now lol

I've Never deep conditioned their hair. Only conditioned during the first year . Now I never wash our hair loose. Always in twist.

Simplicity actually works. Sometimes we be doing toooooo much and our hair just needs simplicity to thrive. So cool that you have a solid routine for you and your sons 🙌🏽

Hey 👋🏾 oh nice. And do you wash your hair once a month too, or more often than that? Thank you so much 💖

@@Natural2020_ twice a month

@@sapphirehaircare ah nice. Same as me 🙌🏽

You were already clued up! 👌🏾👌🏾

I'm between bra strap length and mid-back length at the moment. I have a playlist with length checks in my description box 😊

@@Natural2020_ thanks for your reply

That's true. You do. I'm definitely a twist out novice lol.
