#41: Tutorial of Me Demonstrating How I wash my Scalp and Hair in Braids

Sigh..it sucks that once I upload the vid to youtube the quality SUCKS. Anyhow, I have washed 2x in the braids. Feb 3rd made a month so I removed the braids yesterday all except for a few and hopefully I can show you all how to safely remove braids if I get the time this weekend. This video was made the same day I made the length check vid, just now uploading it.

I found out about the vitacost scam AFTER I purchased the Dr. Bronners soap, but I wont continue to purchase anything else from the company, even though it's the cheapest I've seen the soap. Do so at your own risk.

Soap ingredients

INGREDIENTS: Water, Saponfied Organic Coconut Oil*, Saponified Organic Olive Oil*, Organic Glycerin, Organic Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Natural Almond Fragrance, Citric Acid, Tocopherol (Vit. E), * Certified Fair Trade by IMO

This is a GREAT soap for those who are overwhelmed when looking for a shampoo that wont strip or damage the hair and also for those looking for natural hair cleansing alternatives. I too get overwhelmed when reading the back of labels and I don't have time to "research" as much as I used too now that i'm a f/t RDH major.

I used this soap for the first time in this vid and my scalp and hair seemed to like it!!! It got my scalp as clean as possible for having braids in and the lather and scent is great (almond scent).

ty all for watching :D

how do u feel about msm powder?

[Longhairdontcare2011]

@piecefulcenter

Tastes disgusting. I couldn't tolerate the taste long enough to see a difference.

ok so this is a little unrelated to the video. buttttt im going to ask anyway. whenever i wash my hair, or even just moisturize right after i wash, i get alot of hair loss. do u recommend anything?

[Longhairdontcare2011]

@schante89

The 2 seem unrelated (but im not saying it's impossible). Try washing your hair and not moisturizing until a day or so after and see if it's a feasible link to breakage...or try a new moisturizer.

This soap is sold at Whole Foods as well. I actually love the tea tree soap by Dr. bronners for my Hair and Whole Body.

it was your video that made me want to go natural Thanks!

How often do you wash your hair?

Hi LHDC2011.

First, I LOVE your videos. They are informative and inspired me to chop my hair down to the natural. My hair was relaxed and relatively healthy and quite long (around my arm pits) and it is about 4 inches right now.

Second, Vitacost is not a scam. I have been shopping there for years and never had a problem. As a matter of fact, I am waiting on an order from them right now :-)

I recommend people to vitacost.com all the time.

To those who may not know Dr. Bronner Bros. is sold at Target along with other favorites: Kinky Curly, Miss Jessies, etc.

@Longhairdontcare2011 wow ur the 1st person to say they actually taste it. u must have sensitive taste buds, lol!

[Apriluv7779]

how do you avoid frizziness? My hair comes out so frizzy after washing with the braids still in.

No way, your hair CAN grow longer, unless you have a serious medical condition that affects your thyroid. I am rooting for you, anything you want in this world is YOURS, honey. You CAN grow 6 inches in a year and boom--that' some long hair, especially sine you already have shoulder length hair.
