All the time while growing up, my mother used to talk about my hair not being shiny and always slapping grease in it. As an adult, a hair dresser told me that our hair doesn’t shine because the texture is matte. That changed my life! After that I didn’t care what my mother said.
Lord, the way he freely gives us these facts. I was relaxed for 32 years. I went natural last year. I kept trying to figure out why my relaxed hair was always shiny and my natural hair isn't as shiny. In my opinion my natural hair is healthier than my relaxed hair was so I couldn't figure out why my healthy natural hair isn't as shiny as my damaged relaxed hair was. Thanks for the information. Greatly appreciated.
I think you’ve just explained my hair type with that rough/bumpy surface texture. My curl pattern is a loose curl but my surface texture “feels” and looks more afro like. Like there’s a lot of fluff and lack of shine. I thought my hair was just coarse (which it is) but I’ve had trouble describing the way my hair looks and feels. You and black girl curls are revolutionizing my hair!
Thank you! You just schooled me on my “shine envy”... no joke! I don’t struggle with my moisture balance, but I’m always chasing the shiny look. Imma stop... love you boo ♥️
A LONGTIME ago, I depended on a clear rinse 2 make my light brown hair shine. It worked while drying my hair out more which lead 2 breakage. I was on this merry go round 4 years because I didn’t have access 2 ur expertise! Thank u 4 this tutorial!! I pray u & the family r well.
We are quite well, thanks for asking! I’m thankful to be able to share this information, and I hope that it was able to help you out! Thanks for watching!
This is very interesting be I’ve never really thought about this...maybe it’s because I have coarse 3c hair, I focus more on curl definition and health of hair. Edit: you’ve also given me one more reason NOT to highlight/dye my almost jetblack hair, very interesting!
Linwood I LOVE you! I genuinely LOVE you and the energy you give, just your vibe and your aura 🥰😘 Wishing you and your family so much peace, joy and blessings!
Yep, my roots tend to be dry. I do sweat from my scalp. I never realized the connection, thanks for highlighting. I find that jojoba oil + water applied at the roots on wash day helps to combat some of the dryness and keep the roots silky.
@@GetGlamFam What are the best sealants? Castor oil? Jojoba oil? A combination oil? I sweat on my scalp too. I have low porosity, 3c/4a/4b, high density hair. By the way, thanks for the tip on the Giovanni 2chic ultra moist! I used the shampoo and conditioner. My curls were the best I’ve seen them in forever! Thanks again!
I absolutely LOVE that you made this video! Such great knowledge and I know that certain textures get a bad rap about their hair being “dry” just because it doesn’t LOOK shiny or moisturized but it actually is!!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️!
You are like my hair Yoda! I have this argument with my stylist often as I refuse hair shine or sheen products after she does my hair. I deep condition every wash, use leave-in and a bit of moisturizer and top with argan oil. My hair feels nice and moisturized for days but does not shine and she insists on spraying it with "shine" which I refuse. Thanks for validating!
Dear Linwood: I’m an older woman that would appreciate you going deep on this question. Like many people, I decided to let my hair go gray when the pandemic took over. My hair is natural and I really don’t want to go back to using a dark color. But my gray hair is just not popping 😂. So, I want to go platinum or silver. Just to enhance my hair. Is there something I can do at home to go platinum or silver?. My gray hair is like three different textures- silky in the back, soft coiled on the sides and very course and tight on the top. Bottomline I would appreciate any help/suggestions you could offer. Thank you. Blessings to you and the family.
I use a purple shampoo but caution make sure to use as directed ... “ a friend” I know fell asleep with shampoo in hair and Chile, the dryness.. lol. Check with Teach though 👍🏿❤️
omg u must be my hair twin. everything you described is me exact. He does have a video on how to care for silver/grey hair. you should go scan through his vids. he knows his stuff. good luck!
@@Ria-pz2xx 😂Thank you. My son told me gray hair like any other color can be great, but it must on fleek. 😳I had to look that up. Thanks again, I’ll definitely check his video
Thank You. That definitely made sense.. I have grown from the mindset my hair being shining is healthy. Too much oil in my hair weighs it down, so as long as I get the proper moisture and protein balance and my curls are bouncy and popping, the shrinkage is real, I am good. 😊
Very helpful! Thank you! The silly thing with my abused hair (years of bad haircare practice) is that the texture is different in various areas of my head (always been that way) and at the back (where it was always more soft curly-ish silky-ish) the hair rarely ever feels dry while on the sides of my head the hair feels more bumpy (always was except for around the ears) and it varies a lot in terms of how dry it is. The front is a mess more often than not... This video is really great... At least my daughters won't make the same mistakes I made.
This is so cool! I get so frustrated that my hair will look shiny after styling, but look not shiny at the end of the day. I thought I was doing something wrong. I checked my hair like you said. I grabbed a small section toward the front to check it. It’s roughly 12 inches long, and after the first 4-5 inches from the scalp, it begins to gradually feel dry, with the ends of course being the dryest.
I wish you would conduct seminars online. You would make tons of money, and you would be a great asset to the hair community. I would most definitely sign up to learn.
You are so true. I'm black with type 4 hair & my hair color is a natural level 5 I have 2 things working against me in the shiny Olympics 😭🙃. My hair just isn't going to look shiny because it is not very dark. It's an ashy brown color. It only looks shiny after a silk press with serums & sprays in it. I rinsed it jet black a few times & it appeared shinier but then I looked like a corpse so I just leave it as is
I so appreciate that you continue to build your uTube channel, where the more detailed and the (unrestricted time) educational conversions occurs. I love your tik toks & a few still show up on uTube too.. YAY
You really helped me learn about my daughter's hair! Especially as biracial princess... I'm still not perfect at doing it but I have go to styles and as she's growing I'm getting more comfortable styling it and confident at my ability to showcase her beauty with it... girls just love their hair!! And I always wanted to do justice to it so she wears it with pride. Thank you for your videos! GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
👀 I think I just figured out my tangle problem. I get weird knotting/ tangles like 2 inches from my roots. Never at the root and not for most of the length- just around that 2 inch mark. I’ve gon through all kinds of detangling techniques and various brushes. I sweat from my head and my roots do tend to be drier than my ends! And since my hair has a lot of shrinkage, that 2 inch mark makes sense! I never put it together until now, but I will be testing this theory immediately.
Thank you for this tutorial. You must have been reading my mind. I deep condition every week and for a few days my hair has shine. I tend to use Camille Rose moisturizing products which work very well for me. But, I do sweat in my scalp(at night) which dulls my hair usually by Thursday. It's moisturized but lacks shine. I never considered the dullness resulted from my night sweats. Thank you again!
Lynnwood having some Puro South Tx Energy in this video ayye! 😂❤ P.s I know you reposted the hair type video so I dont know if you saw, but wanted to thank you again for helping me to discover my ACTUAL hairtype! Its 4B mostly btw, the correct version of 4B that is lol. This entire time I was thinking my hairtype just didnt exist because I never saw it haha. Thank you again for always being so clear and wonderful with your teachings!
Thank you God for Linwood's in depth explanations! I'm 58 years old in July and I have been trying to figure this out since I was in elementary school im not lying. My press and curl stylist when I was 8 told me it was because my hair was kinky and only straight hair could reflect shine and that is why my hair was shiny when she first pressed it but wouldn't be shiny when I came back in 2 weeks. But even at 8 years old that did not make sense to me because when I would go back in 2 weeks only my roots would be kinky why were the straight ends not shining? But you know she was my moms age and back in the day you did NOT question elders. I just said yes mam but I kept wondering about this. In college I got my hair relaxed and still only shiny that first week even though my hair was bone straight from chemicals... made no sense. Now someone has finally made sense of this. They say you learn something new everyday and I have learned the answer I have literally been waiting g 50 years to know LOL.
Hi Linwood....I am not social media savvy... but I will check out your tik tok videos. I really appreciate the helpful advice, tips and knowledge that you share. I just now understand the process of what a cowash is. I feel so embarrassed to say that, but it's true. I am glad that I found your channel!!!
Oooo Linwood there’s nothing like a greasy flat hair before a wash. You think you’re look shiny but it’s time to wash your hair. I have dry hair and I’m still trying to figure out what products work with making my hair dull and flat but I do use a moisturizing shampoo
Excellent explanation and I am enjoying your channel so far. I am new to your channel and you seem honest about what you know about hair. Yes, the shrinkage is REAL for me too!😊
Wow. I was like “my hair is shiny” nope...it aint even “sheen” -y 😂😂😂 i have so much to learn. Long story short from you, My hair seems to need more moisture. Watah watah watah ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I'm surprised he didn't mention porosity & pH. My hair looks like 2 different hair types depending on if I use vinegar/something low pH to close my cuticles.
Thank you for the tip about sweating from the scalp. That is an ongoing issue for me. But, my hair isn't necessarily dry and can get mushy after a lot of co-washing in the summer. I will be experimenting with frequency again this summer.
Hi, I’m new to your channel and loving the content so far. I’m a LP natural for bout 10 years now and have recently experienced some thinning and would love 💕 for you to do a video on how to repair this. Thanks
