I have a question about this process, do you deep condition when your twists when you cleanse your scalp???? Do you find when you're taking the twists out after doing the scalp cleanses that your hair is starting to loc?
I'm thinking maybe if you tightly coil the twist around those hard plastic rollers overnight ,and sit under a dryer, our use the cool setting on a blow dryer, they may keep their length after washing
@PrettyDimples01, While in micro braids I use a mixture of Sea Breeze and Witch Hazel with a few drops of peppermint oil. I sprayed my scalp and hair (extensions) all over. Put on a plastic cap for an hour. Then take a hot wet towel and rub my scalp to get the dirt out and move down to clean my extensions. Hair and scalp was clean and no smell. Braids came out easy because my hair was really moist and great condition.
Im wondering if this would have worked better if you used those little cheap plastic sandwich bags (put your braid in the bag), and then bind the top of the bag tightly with rubber bands. You did a good job, and gave me an idea (the one I just mentioned) on how to make this work better. Thanks PD01! :)
I'm going to try that because my hair be on fire!!!!!! I need to wash it every 3 days. and I never had dandruff in my life...until this summer, and I'm 3 year's natural.
How about plating the hair into sections, putting them up into a loose ponytail. This way you can use a rubber nozzle to the designated area and use your fingers to rub the scalp clean. Of course holding your head down over the sink or tub for gravity purposes only! Good Luck!
awesome! & exactly how I do my daughters twists when I have to wash them. I braid them tight after and it makes wonderful crinkly twists. Thanks for the vid sis :-)
You know I wonder how the dry shampoo would do. I use to use that just on my scalp without getting in the shower.(when I wore synthetic braid exts) and it worked quite well?
oooooooooooh i heard the baking soda thing is too strong of a ph for us naturals-and guess what i did try it with coconut oil and V05 before i say kimmay tubes video concerning it. It did mess my hair up. So i had to lower the ph with other natural oils and leave- ins to see a better effect. It looked like a light perm seriously.
That is a lion. That is not a cat. Woooooow man that is some big animal! Thanks for sharing this video. I like how you show the successes and the failures. You save a whole lot of people a whole lot of heartache! LOL I really dig the crinkly twist style you got in the end. Nice! Blessings...
@prettydimples01 Do you think you will ever post any videos on how you maintain length? I started watching your videos when we had the same length hair lol you have surpassed me! lol Just wanted to know what you are doing. Thx
Maybe you can try an application bottle. You know the kind with a spout for dispensing water. And the plastic wrap method seemed like it would have worked that way. Either way fierce hair girl!
this is how I shampoo my hair. Big old "Color Purple Plaits" that are very loose so the shampoo works through the plait and rinses out clean. Your end result looks like you did it on purpose. :) very pretty.
Congratulations on being one of the top five naturals on youtube by the Huffington post. I have been watching your videos for about a year. I just started subscribing to my favorite channels last month. So I was happy to hear that you were one of the top five!
Love it!! Congratulations on the Huffington Post article... I was so happy to see your channel featured, it was so well-deserved. You've been such a great inspiration to me and taught me SO much about natural hair care and styling. You've proven that natural hair is really versatile and can look stylish, fun, professional, slick, cute, cool, funky... however we need to to look, and still be healthy while at it.
Maybe you could try putting the braids in one huge top ponytail like Alfalfa from that old time tv show. Band the length of it so it all sticks up and nothing touches your head. (Another example is Dipsy from teletubbies!) Then squirt water at the roots with one of those scalp concentration nozzle bottles (Do gro type bottle). Focus only on the scalp and everything that rinses down will not wet the rest of your hair because that's in a huge top pony, it may work... who knows... :)
aw thanks for trying!!! I was concerned about this...i think maybe the rubber bands would have helped and keeping them braided for the wash. And I was gonna try large rollers to keep them stretched but my hair isnt long enough yet. might work 4 u tho!

That's a really cute hairstyle. I am going to do a dry mini twist on my hair and then try that style...I will let you know how it turns out lol...Actually I will probably do a response video. Thanks for the idea I'm gonna have to rune with it lol.
Hey! Love your attemp. Have you tried water less shampoo. I know you can purchase it at the drug stores. Maybe that will help your scalp with the itch.
I use a spray bottle and a toothbrush. I dilute an anti-dandruff shampoo, tea tree oil, rosemary oil, olive oil and water. I part my hair then, spray my scalp with the solution and then use the toothbrush to scrub my scalp. Since the solution is diluted I do not rinse. I let my hair air dry. I do use clips to keep my stretch......
okay...I just thought about something! what if you use conditioning caps at the end of each braided section, then secure it with a rubber band? the wrap had a lot of crack and crevices for the water to leak in...but a cap with no holes....what you think?
have u heard of a product called "shea moisture" i think thats what its called or something like "oganic shea moisturizer"? i was thinking about trying it when i saw it in the store but i wasnt sure.
Im so glad you posted this vid because i have yarn braids up right now...cause my scalp is beyond fire..and i've only had them up a week. I will be trying.
nice try lol...maybe just find a way to keep them stretched while concentrating on washing the scalp, so even if the ends do get wet, they'll dry more stretch...IDK lol
I like it! baking soda is not bad on the scalp unless it's left on too long although it has a ph different than hair or skin. A toothbrush is not abraisive, no worse than mildly scratching your head with a fingernail.
what about just taking some water in a bottle with a nozzzle for a top, to rinse the scalp? that way you didnt have to put ur head directly under the water?
Hey! An astringent might work to clean your scalp or remove buildup. I have used thayers witch hazel with rose water on my scalp before and it worked really well. And then you don't have to rinse and you wont have to wash your scalp. But I have only used it with my hair in braids...
When I had braids and wanted to clean my scalp I would pour witch hazel on to my scalp. It stopped the itching "cleaned" my scalp & I didn't have to completely saturate the braids. Give it a shot & see how you like it.
have you ever used dry shampoo? if so does it work? i just took out a braid out and the curls are so cute by I have loose gel and dandruff everywhere. would dry shampoo work or should I use this method
Congrats on being in the Top 5 Vloggers. OMGsh! I love love love the outcome! Are those mini twists tht you have in your hair? My hair isn't your length yet but there must be some human hair that I can add to my hair for a mini twist style like yours.. I'm looking to do a protective style like this for a while since my workouts will be pretty intense.
I knew the plastic wouldnt work, cos it happen to me b4. Hair got wet lol. But u wont kno till u try tho, hey? Hehe.. Now i cant b bothered lol. A clean, breathing scalp is priority..
Oh my god that is a good idea.Where were you two weeks ago PrettyDimples lol kidding. Dangit to late for me tho this my last week for these things. Love the twist tho.Thanks for sharing.
I use conditioner and water and dip the corner of a face towel in it and rub that on my scalp and to rinse I use the other corner of the towel and just water. Hope this helps
@KaleidoscopeIdeas i Agree the high PH causes the hair to suck up way too much water making it lay limp thats why people say "it makes my hair so soft and manageable" it is almost in a really light way like a temporary texurized/relaxed feeling, But everyone likes different things for their hair
@AdjustedSubstance Lol i am subscribed to her channel but you dont have to watch her videos to know about PH Balance that information can be found on the internet just by google : )
@ideolojay the PH level of our hair is 4.5 and every number that u go up is equivalent t10,000 so baking soda having a PH of 9 makes is about 45,000x more alkaline than your hair. NOTHING over 7.5 PH and NOTHING under a PH level of 2.0 is good for hair. Oh and just so you know the average mild relaxer/texturizer has a PH level beetween 8.0 and 11.0. so if a mild relaxer white a PH of 8.0 to 11.0 isnt "Gentle" than baking Soda with a PH of 9.0 ISNT "GENTLE"
@ideolojay i never said it would change her texture. just cus baking soda and texturizers have close PH levels dosn't mean that baking soda straightens your hair a texturizer has other ingredients that staighten your hair. but science show both are EXTREMELY harmful. And rest assured anything that can eat the grime and gunk off of your stove should NOT BE ON YOUR HAIR! baking soda is man-made and is a harsh chemical
@IggyRins she has 3 videos using it with no complaints. Also, you def. said to KaleidoscopeIdeas that it's "like a temporary texturized/relaxed feeling".
@ideolojay Lol yes it does give your hair a temporary soft feel and and i also said to each their owni am not tellin anyone how to care for their hair im jus tellin the truth, You cannot dissagree with what i said. These are not my opinions these are FACTS if you would just look it up you would know that i hate when people go around stateing things like "PH of 9 is a gentle cleanse" when is isnt its all their opinion and they Have no facts to support it
@IggyRins You don't know where I got my information from or what my opinion is because I have told you neither. She has made multiple videos using this, has not complained, and hasn't even responded here to what everyone is saying. She's an educated lady, so if it's "to each his own" then shut up about it. Bye.
@ideolojay Lol I gave you scientific proof you gave me a BULL response. And i only said "to each their own"because you can do what you want its not healthy but i cant make you stop.Yu clearly dont know what your talking about and I belive i sent you some videos on it and if you watched them you would know that. But some people like to stay Dumb, and if your not goin to give real answers with facts to back them than you should just " SHUT UP ABOUT IT "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you and another yt subscriber just gave me an idea thank you both :D

I use conditioner and water and dip the corner of a face towel in it and rub that on my scalp and to rinse I use the other corner of the towel and just water. Hope this helps

Atoothbrush and baking soda sounds very abrasive to me.

@KaleidoscopeIdeas agreed....i think a acv mixture would have been better
baking soda crystals are abrasive

@KaleidoscopeIdeas baking soda dissolves....
ideolojay 6 months ago
@ideolojay The high PH levels are what makes it acid and thus abrasive, even if it dissolves the acidity can't be healthy for your scalp

@KaleidoscopeIdeas i agreeee!!!

@KaleidoscopeIdeas i Agree the high PH causes the hair to suck up way too much water making it lay limp thats why people say "it makes my hair so soft and manageable" it is almost in a really light way like a temporary texurized/relaxed feeling, But everyone likes different things for their hair

@KaleidoscopeIdeas low pH levels are acidic. baking soda is at a 9, and is a gentle exfoliant.
ideolojay 6 months ago
@ideolojay the PH level of our hair is 4.5 and every number that u go up is equivalent t10,000 so baking soda having a PH of 9 makes is about 45,000x more alkaline than your hair. NOTHING over 7.5 PH and NOTHING under a PH level of 2.0 is good for hair. Oh and just so you know the average mild relaxer/texturizer has a PH level beetween 8.0 and 11.0. so if a mild relaxer white a PH of 8.0 to 11.0 isnt "Gentle" than baking Soda with a PH of 9.0 ISNT "GENTLE"

@IggyRins she's already used baking soda on her hair before and stated her hair texture has not changed at all.
ideolojay 6 months ago
@ideolojay i never said it would change her texture. just cus baking soda and texturizers have close PH levels dosn't mean that baking soda straightens your hair a texturizer has other ingredients that staighten your hair. but science show both are EXTREMELY harmful. And rest assured anything that can eat the grime and gunk off of your stove should NOT BE ON YOUR HAIR! baking soda is man-made and is a harsh chemical

@IggyRins she has 3 videos using it with no complaints. Also, you def. said to KaleidoscopeIdeas that it's "like a temporary texturized/relaxed feeling".
ideolojay 6 months ago
@ideolojay Lol yes it does give your hair a temporary soft feel and and i also said to each their owni am not tellin anyone how to care for their hair im jus tellin the truth, You cannot dissagree with what i said. These are not my opinions these are FACTS if you would just look it up you would know that i hate when people go around stateing things like "PH of 9 is a gentle cleanse" when is isnt its all their opinion and they Have no facts to support it
IggyRins 6 months ago
@IggyRins You don't know where I got my information from or what my opinion is because I have told you neither. She has made multiple videos using this, has not complained, and hasn't even responded here to what everyone is saying. She's an educated lady, so if it's "to each his own" then shut up about it. Bye.
ideolojay 6 months ago
@ideolojay Lol I gave you scientific proof you gave me a BULL response. And i only said "to each their own"because you can do what you want its not healthy but i cant make you stop.Yu clearly dont know what your talking about and I belive i sent you some videos on it and if you watched them you would know that. But some people like to stay Dumb, and if your not goin to give real answers with facts to back them than you should just " SHUT UP ABOUT IT "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@KaleidoscopeIdeas Maybe use vinegar and baking soda, it should bubble up without a toothbrush. (Bronzegoddess did this on her locs) Hope that helps

@DariceHumphries I think the vinegar or baking soda alone should be fine, to each their own, I was just pointing out something I noticed.
