Black hair care has not assisted black women with low density and fine strands we have consistently attempted our own people with limited success-my opinion

The way they were happy and jolly to listen to a white woman, but will question the life out of black women giving out the same advice

it was actually a black woman who put me on to redken bond repair, briogeo don’t despair, and nizoral for scalp that improved my hair the most. Black women for me had been promoting the 3 washes with some clarifying and repair or hydration on wash day. Also oil for ends was also black women, so idk when I stumbled upon the Abby method I felt these were things I was already taught and for the most part doing. Not as much bond repair or all the steps but there are some aspects that logically make sense and arguably we already knew…

Maybe the issue is that Natural Hair creators typically are trying to sell or promote products, so it's hard to trust their reviews, whereas Abby Jung is promoting a technique. She isn't saying you need to go out and buy particular products.

I’m so tickled because black hairstylist have been stating what that WW has said and it’s actually so sad that many of us BW didnt want to take the advice from black professionals but then are adopting this “WW routine “

The “no oils, no butters, no leave in” year was really when shit took a left turn. I’m enjoying the branch of the movement now that is going back to LCO as well as incorporating grease.

My theory is that the “white” haircare brands have bigger marketing and influencer budgets, so people are just following the money. Some of these influencers would promote anything to get PR / if the price is right. And I say this as someone who likes science-backed haircare

Idk... I'm on Abbey Yung, but I got there because of the black women with hair similar to mine who said her method helped them.

I knew this would happen after people attacked Mielle Organics & started saying black owned brands weren’t “backed by science” & we should be using white brands

Truth, the natural hair care community left us very confused, and they were using products, and doing routines that would only work for them and their hair type, but made it sound like it would work for everyone. I have 4C low porosity hair, I can’t put Shea butter and those heavy oils in my hair. To this day, I’m still very confused about what will work for my hair because the information that was given was so contradictory

This is nothing new. Black professional cosmetologist having been telling us to use science backed hair care products since day one. Abbey Young just happens to be trendy right now for all hair types

All these people are doing is repackaging conditioners and calling it bond builders. Many of black hair issues are caused from nutrition, hydration and mechanical damage. Most of hair care advice is to promote sales not healthy hair.

eboni💕 :
Yes! The cosmetologists also neglected to mention how few natural hair products existed at that time so butters and gels were the best stylers/ home made curl creams we had. And most salons did not want to deal with natural hair at all

protEsther ☆ :
the tomfoolery started when they were preaching "black hair care products don't work for you because its not science based. white hair products are better" saying its all "shea moisture and vibes" and when u look at what white hair content creators are saying its literally just the exact same thing

I think part of the reason it’s all about what’s trendy. A decent amount of people don’t stick to routines. They saw some people flourish with natural hair movement products, tried it but didn’t stick with it or got frustrated. Probably were still using too much heat, high manipulation/tension styles, didn’t get the results they wanted and moved on blaming the routine. This is just what’s trending, it’ll pass. There’s probably some bias as you mentioned as well for some

I don’t know who Abby Jung is, that being said I stopped listening to the natural hair community cause of the constant contradictions and shaming. Till today I don’t know if I am supposed to use oils and butters 😭 so I just stick to the tested products like pattern beauty, cecred and kerastase the community is confused and RUDE.

I have to step in and say something. The natural hair movement did not start in 2010. It was circa 2004 or earlier. This is when the hair boards Nappturality ( 100 per cent natural hair only) long hair care forum and BlackHair media were massive hubs of information. Ones you can go back now and read. They spawned blogs and then YouTube. The earliest natural hair influencer was called MotownGirl. It was a bottom up beauty movement by black women and for black women. All the discussions people are having on tiktok now were had then.

I couldn’t believe Abby Young was a white woman. But honestly there isn’t enough education about fine & thin type 4 hair. It’s sad that this is how we’re getting help for our hair.

I wouldn’t say white women generally, but definitely people with fine hair white or black. A lot of of us 4c fine hair girlies for the longest time were following routines for people with course, dense hair, but now there are more fine hair influencers providing tips.

The abbey yung method encourages a lot of bond building products and also silicone containing products. I feel like in the natural hair community, silicone was considered “bad” and therefore to use a lot of silicone free and natural hair care.

gianajarrah :
I think Black women’s interest in natural hair care was rooted in early scientific thinking that helped push the field forward. Long before the industry caught up, we were experimenting with protein treatments, moisturization, and ingredient functionality. It wasn’t unscientific, but the science just wasn’t as formalized or rigorously studied yet. As a scientist tho, what frustrates me is how often “natural” gets treated as the opposite of science, which then gets used to dismiss Black hair care as inferior, when in reality it laid much of the groundwork for where hair science is today
