@cenalover386 "well atleast we dont have to worry about losing our hair like you people do!" - LOL, AND aging POORLY! They look like their 55 at age 25, LOL!
It seems that people who go natural seems to be more happier and outgoing. I can't wait till my fro gets bigger like those models in the video it's the best decision I ever made for my hair it's so much healther and stronger and thicker now.
Thanks for some great tips! I have an adopted daughter and have been trying to figure out how to care for her hair. Her birth mom kept it chemically straightened and never added any kind of product to it. I am now left with a 6yr old who is terrified to have her hair combed and she has a head full of fuzzy dried out hair. Am going to try these tips!
hey a bit off topic...but i would like to upload a video diary onto youtube of my natural hair!...which catagory do i choose?? as i dont want it ending up in the wrong place!!?? new utube user
I realize this video is three years old, so maybe u know this by now (?); But it is not best to use baking soda instead of shampoo - it is best to use (sulfate-free) shampoo, Yes. Why? In caring for natural hair, the pH level of hair products used should be considered and an effort should be made to maintain the normal and healthy pH level of hair's sebum - 4.0pH to 5.5pH. BAKING SODA can DAMAGE hair. SEE Kimmaytube's video "STRUCTURE OF HAIR PART 4-USING PH BALANCE PROPERLY FOR HAIR-CARE."
@Belimarie87 he what about every morning if you wake up and only pour water on your hair and comb it without adding any creme or moistur, or oil on it. is anything wrong with that? does it injure your hair?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To kill the acv smell u can put a smudge of downy frabic softner in it ,just a drop, it works !, I read it on the internet it's not going to hurt the hair.
Yea I agree with "udontknowme" try a perm that texturizes your hair. It's how a lot of people who don't have afro-textured hair are able to get dreads.
ackoe...do you have thick curly hair though? If your hair is bone straight you may not be able to obtain a fro depending on your hair type. You may want to google pictures of afros to see the texture of hair needed to obtain a fro.
"jmc8197" i am african american and i absolutely ADORE my afro textured hair because it is what i was born with so im going to strut my stuff with it. i dont feel like im cursed with it at all, thats just what the media and ADs on television WANTS people to think so they will get perms, etc...
I'm white, have (a lot of) curly frizzy hair people falsely call an afro. However I would like to comb my hair into an afro style 'white-man's fro' lol
Well actually, I am african-american and I am wearing my hair natural as are many other African-Americans now. Also, I am far from racist, however if you don't think that racism is alive and well then you need to simply WAKE UP! Are you from Mars? No, just never walked in the shoes of another. So it takes your eyes being opened to the situation of others. My comment is less about whites than it is about my own loving themselves as one. You are not qualified to comment on that. But thanks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Of course I know racism is "alive and well." Just take a look at crime statistics for instance, blacks rape and murder thousands of whites every year in the US, yet almost no blacks are raped and murdered by whites.
I agree with you to a point. I'm black and i see more black people being racist to white more often than the other way around. Though i see more racism from white people on youtube. Just know that people who are listed in your statistics above are probably from poorer neighborhoods where they don't see a lot good role models. I personally don't think you were being racist.
@AlwaysLoveStacy Don't believe that slave master's hype! The easiest is what you were born with! Let's see which one survives in the rain, shower, at the gym...ALTERED straight hair or our NATURAL tresses!
Just what the white man laughs at, a bunch of black people dividing themselves. And.....over hair! pathetic! and sad!!! "Keep em brainwashed. So brainwashed that they discrimate amongst themselves in the name of racial solidarity. Strange!
The title is"how to comb afro texture hair" can somebody tell me why do non afro texture hair people even come to this site? Ok.. perhaps they may want to learn how to comb it,then thats kool! But why leave ignorant comments that arent related to the title?
They wait for people to acknowledge their existence. The whole point is to get attention by offending you. And when you acknowledge them, you make the problem worse.
dont worry. theres nothing to feel sorry about. its not that much work than anyone elses hair if you know what to do with it. its just that you have to understand it. then it's pretty simple
all i see is kind of processed hair or mixed coloured hair?can someone share how to soften and care for real kinky hair-african hair i mean.that one which a comb cannot go through unless when moist.
You right..course hair aint no joke lol. Its hard sometimes going natural. The longer it gets, the more tougher it is to manage easy. But I wouldn't change my hair texture for anything in the world. I love it =]
bAkamnonu please drop it... i'm Nigerian too (100%, no mixing whatsoever) and my mom's hair cant be called 'nappy'. its kinda long and straight. n she's not even fulani or hausa or sth, we're straight up Yoruba. so stop belaboring the point... you're makin us look bad.
This is getting out of hand..can we reframe from the name calling? By the way..many black people have different hair types..like white people have different hair types..some have curly hair or frizzy hair, some have straight.
I dont know what you two define as black? Do you mean black as in dark skin or black as in black african? Because NO black african has straight hair! I dont need fake american blacks telling me the features of my ow race
it was black americans who came up with the term "black"...so don't bite the hands of your brothers. Also, mixing of races happened all over, you have a little something else in you. Remove yourself from the willie lynchism type of thinking my brother.
i thought the white americans came up with the terms "black" and "african american" for the black race...so its not true? im very curious for a 15 yr old..
bAkamnonu your so dumb i have even seen hindus with kinky hair. not all blacks have the same texture! how can i think im black?
haha your and idiot. not all blacks can grow an afro but it do all have a kinky texture to it not all full blacks have nappy hair. whats your education? ignorant arts?
dumb ass im not going to talk to you because your so stupid. black people in africa all over the world have diffrent textures im sorry your a bama ass
Retard, you are not a black person. You cant grow an afro but think you are black? Maybe you are Indian? I know biracials, and even they canh grow afro's. You must be confused
thats because your african african americans are mixed so w/e and ethipians have straight hair you dont have to be mixed smart one diffrent africans have diffrent hair duh and diffrent colors smart one
fool, pure blacks ( most nigerians) have the same hair ( ie- are all able to grow afro). "Black" americans are mixed with other races and so are much more varied. you get an education
have you been to a black country? American Black are generally mixed with white, which is why you see different textures. but these people are not pure black. In america even biracial are considered black, like your new president. That is why you are confused
hi bAkamnonu I heard that america's president chose to call himself black but your right that america(most americans not all) likes to call biracial ple black which is wrong because of the one drop rule.I'm multiracial.
what exactly is a pure black... because honestly the term didn't exist until 50 years ago. check yourself. What are you igbo or yoruba. And which are the pure black? anyway you slice it doesn't matter. We are all cousins. I know Nigerians who are bald in their twenties. If you want to separate yourself as special so that you don't feel like those "dirty mixed americans" are your kin, that lies in you my brother not us.
you misunderstand me. i dont have a problem with mixing, or with americans, BUT, I am confused as to how a person can be unable to naturally grow an afro, yet still consider themselves black?? Or are you in the thinking that the colour of our skin is the only thing that separates races? if so, we are no differant than some indians.
What's so confusing about not being able to naturally grow an afro and still considering yourself black. My sister and I have same parents her hair is wavy and lays down mine is kinky and grows up
People fail to realize that you dont have to have non-black to have a texture other than afro texture. There are textures in every African tribe that are different. Just look at the tribes in East, West, North, South Africa. All of them will have wavy, kinky, and some may even have straight. WOW
That Eden's product is damn good. It made my hair so soft and shiny. The moment that I put the conditioner in my hair the tingling sensation that I felt almost knocked me off my feet. lol
I'm going to try everything in her hair cair line. I can't believe a girl that young started her own company and has become so successful. And to top it all off it's a black woman. I wish her the best of luck with whatever the future has in store for her and thank you to the person who made this video. :)
Hey Melbl84. I'm glad you went natural. To answer your question, I don't think its a good idea to use anything with petroleum in it. Have you tried 100% coconut oil from a whole foods store? Sure it smells like straight up coconut but it makes hair soft and with shine. You can find it on amazon too =D
Great video--lots of wonderful info and tips! I also loved the format. The pics plus text made for a very effective presentation, while the music made for an extra cool viewing experience!! : ]
I find this video very interesting im mixed with black and indian. But my texture of hair is more towards the black side. I love to have my hair natural in a curly fro. But has been discourage but people telling me to straighten it beacuse it looks better since my hair is 16 inches when its straighten. Some of these techniques i use already .I never heard of the apple vinger and baking soda. This may sound weird but alot of indian people do this and black try mixing mayonaise with eggs it works
my hair used to be hard to comb but as i grow up it changed it is now long and easy 3 mannage if you want nice hair dont perm or put weave it just plait it and it will grow
I have a question though. What about ammonium lauryl sulfate shampoos? I tried using that a while back and it seemed to be doing all right. Just a few minutes ago I washed my hair and it felt wierd when I ran my fingers through it even though it was still wet. Come to find out the new shampoo had that sodium garbage all the way at the bottom of the ingredients :(
It's about as rough as sls, according to someone else who asked and a few links from Google I sought. You can use it if you like, I'd recommend something without sls/als if you have kinky/nappy hair and see how your hair responds.
No, I wish that I had that kinkier hair and thicker hair shafts but I don't. The thing I'm concerned with is breakage. I can try to comb my hair when it's wet, but I saw that for hair texture like mine it stretches hair and makes it even more brittle. If I comb it when it's dry my ends always break off in little bits. Do you have any suggestions?
I have used apple cider vinegar for years and have only had wonderful results. This is the first time I've heard of baking soda; but hey, that's something to consider. Thank You
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been so tired of seeing all of these other videos about perms and "relaxers" it's been driving me crazy. Thank you so much :0)
You can teach and old dog new tricks...lol.I keep having those same hairballs after combing & brushing my hair. I have thin hair & I would always have to cut it short to even it. Moisterizer is the name of the game,but how do you keep bees away from sweet smelling tresses in the summertime??lol
Uh....noooo!!! Baking Soda, used with a mixture of Apple vinegar cider, and water, is actually THE BEST way to safely cleanse textured hair. As mentioned in the peice, Shampoos containing lauryl suffates, are VERY drying, and damaging to the hair, and strip it of it's natural oils...look it up!:)
Well 1stly, they're 2 diffrent things: Shampoo(baking soda, water), and rinse (apple cider vinegar, water). Simply measure 1 cup of water, maybe 2, depending on length of hair...for every 1 cup of water add 1 teaspoon of baking soda..and so on. Wash hair regularly.
2step. For every cup of water, add 2 teaspoons of acv..and so on. Rinse after using baking soda mix. This will effectively remove left-over residue from the soda.....
Lol, um no!! This'crap' is also used in White hair, who's hair is equally damaged by using over-the-counter shampoo's...There's actually a video with a white girl doing it!!
@Thkmra Actually, no matter how gentle a shampoo is (sulfate-free and all), the stripped feeling is unavoidable -the very act of rinsing the shampoo away with water makes the hair feel stripped. But that is what a shampoo is designed to do - take dirt, dead skin cells and oils away! Of course the hair would feel stripped. Add leave-ins to put the moisture back in. Again, I say SEE Kimmaytube's videos - she cares for her hair with help from science.
hi , great video, i do the same routine on my kids hair . i didn't know about the harmful chemicals you mention. Every single product i got seems to contain them. Could you recommend me some brand who do not have petroleum in it, especially leave in conditoners and moisturizers ? is necessary to use ALL before combing (leave-in, moisturizers and oil)? what is the difference between a leave in conditioner and a moisturizer? I live in Italy, we don't have many products available, for afro hair.

The vinegar conditions the hair more than it does cleansing.
Also stay away from "cones" (silicones) in conditioners and many other products, they coat your hair and make it difficult to absorb nutrients.
Petroleum also clogs your hair follicles stunting the growth of your hair and can cause hair loss.
And of course stay away from alcohol if you can... Its in almost everything
the main key is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

that means you have a good deal of white or other straight haired races in you

no you idiot
africonaamericono 3 years ago
yes it does asshole, im nigerian and we dont have anyone who cant grow afro there. you have too much white in you to be able to grow afro
bAkamnonu 3 years ago
thats because your african african americans are mixed so w/e and ethipians have straight hair you dont have to be mixed smart one diffrent africans have diffrent hair duh and diffrent colors smart one
africonaamericono 3 years ago
well we dont consider ethiopians black,and you just said aa are mixed so i am right

you are so ignorant not all blacks have the same hair texture. get a education
africonaamericono 3 years ago
fool, pure blacks ( most nigerians) have the same hair ( ie- are all able to grow afro). "Black" americans are mixed with other races and so are much more varied. you get an education
bAkamnonu 3 years ago
no you samrt ass blacks come in many varitions and have diffrent hair tectures no matter were you go
africonaamericono 3 years ago
have you been to a black country? American Black are generally mixed with white, which is why you see different textures. but these people are not pure black. In america even biracial are considered black, like your new president. That is why you are confused
bAkamnonu 3 years ago
hi bAkamnonu I heard that america's president chose to call himself black but your right that america(most americans not all) likes to call biracial ple black which is wrong because of the one drop rule.I'm multiracial.

what exactly is a pure black... because honestly the term didn't exist until 50 years ago. check yourself. What are you igbo or yoruba. And which are the pure black? anyway you slice it doesn't matter. We are all cousins. I know Nigerians who are bald in their twenties. If you want to separate yourself as special so that you don't feel like those "dirty mixed americans" are your kin, that lies in you my brother not us.
tigera10030 3 years ago
igbo..
you misunderstand me. i dont have a problem with mixing, or with americans, BUT, I am confused as to how a person can be unable to naturally grow an afro, yet still consider themselves black?? Or are you in the thinking that the colour of our skin is the only thing that separates races? if so, we are no differant than some indians.
bAkamnonu 3 years ago
What's so confusing about not being able to naturally grow an afro and still considering yourself black. My sister and I have same parents her hair is wavy and lays down mine is kinky and grows up
People fail to realize that you dont have to have non-black to have a texture other than afro texture. There are textures in every African tribe that are different. Just look at the tribes in East, West, North, South Africa. All of them will have wavy, kinky, and some may even have straight. WOW

That Eden's product is damn good. It made my hair so soft and shiny. The moment that I put the conditioner in my hair the tingling sensation that I felt almost knocked me off my feet. lol
I'm going to try everything in her hair cair line. I can't believe a girl that young started her own company and has become so successful. And to top it all off it's a black woman. I wish her the best of luck with whatever the future has in store for her and thank you to the person who made this video. :)

melbl84 3 years ago
Hey Melbl84. I'm glad you went natural. To answer your question, I don't think its a good idea to use anything with petroleum in it. Have you tried 100% coconut oil from a whole foods store? Sure it smells like straight up coconut but it makes hair soft and with shine. You can find it on amazon too =D

I find this video very interesting im mixed with black and indian. But my texture of hair is more towards the black side. I love to have my hair natural in a curly fro. But has been discourage but people telling me to straighten it beacuse it looks better since my hair is 16 inches when its straighten. Some of these techniques i use already .I never heard of the apple vinger and baking soda. This may sound weird but alot of indian people do this and black try mixing mayonaise with eggs it works

I have a question though. What about ammonium lauryl sulfate shampoos? I tried using that a while back and it seemed to be doing all right. Just a few minutes ago I washed my hair and it felt wierd when I ran my fingers through it even though it was still wet. Come to find out the new shampoo had that sodium garbage all the way at the bottom of the ingredients :(
But ammonium lauryl sulfate...ok or no?
thethingkid 3 years ago
It's about as rough as sls, according to someone else who asked and a few links from Google I sought. You can use it if you like, I'd recommend something without sls/als if you have kinky/nappy hair and see how your hair responds.
c0cc0 3 years ago
No, I wish that I had that kinkier hair and thicker hair shafts but I don't. The thing I'm concerned with is breakage. I can try to comb my hair when it's wet, but I saw that for hair texture like mine it stretches hair and makes it even more brittle. If I comb it when it's dry my ends always break off in little bits. Do you have any suggestions?

BAKING SODA?... are you nuts!!!!!??????
bofhead92 3 years ago
Uh....noooo!!! Baking Soda, used with a mixture of Apple vinegar cider, and water, is actually THE BEST way to safely cleanse textured hair. As mentioned in the peice, Shampoos containing lauryl suffates, are VERY drying, and damaging to the hair, and strip it of it's natural oils...look it up!:)

how much baking soda, vinegar, and water need to be used they left off the measurement amounts?
Thanks
lbgarrison 3 years ago
Well 1stly, they're 2 diffrent things: Shampoo(baking soda, water), and rinse (apple cider vinegar, water). Simply measure 1 cup of water, maybe 2, depending on length of hair...for every 1 cup of water add 1 teaspoon of baking soda..and so on. Wash hair regularly.
2step. For every cup of water, add 2 teaspoons of acv..and so on. Rinse after using baking soda mix. This will effectively remove left-over residue from the soda.....

yea as a kid i always felt bummed out because when my sister did my hair, she put like 8 different products in it and my head would be itchy all day!
NayNaySoFly16 2 years ago
@Thkmra Actually, no matter how gentle a shampoo is (sulfate-free and all), the stripped feeling is unavoidable -the very act of rinsing the shampoo away with water makes the hair feel stripped. But that is what a shampoo is designed to do - take dirt, dead skin cells and oils away! Of course the hair would feel stripped. Add leave-ins to put the moisture back in. Again, I say SEE Kimmaytube's videos - she cares for her hair with help from science.

hi , great video, i do the same routine on my kids hair . i didn't know about the harmful chemicals you mention. Every single product i got seems to contain them. Could you recommend me some brand who do not have petroleum in it, especially leave in conditoners and moisturizers ? is necessary to use ALL before combing (leave-in, moisturizers and oil)? what is the difference between a leave in conditioner and a moisturizer? I live in Italy, we don't have many products available, for afro hair.
