    The ancient Korean haircare was very similar. Hair was shampooed only once a year. The rest of the time it was oiled and rinses and perfumed but not deeply scrubbed. And the old combs were more like flea combs and removed not just luce and parasites, but dust and and dander. Oil and herbal rinses were used to treat problems, even green tea was used as a rinse but also a face wash. Various flowers were also used as well such as gardenia and peony. Shampoo was made with mung bean starch, or in some cases red clay and an herbal oil blend to clarify the hair. Also boiled water or natural River water was used in those days. And hair was kept braided and tied with cloth, and secured with pins. Korean women were known in antiquity so much for thier thick and luscious hair that the Chinese demanded it as a part of tributes by various Korean kingdoms. I get got the best of All my ancestors Polynesian west African and Korean. My hair is thickkkkkkuh! I remember even breaking a few wide Tooth combs.
  • As a bald person, this is so fascinating to watch. I don't know why but I love watching hair care videos, even though I'll never grow my hair. Maybe I'm watching to be helpful to my future girlfriend hahah

    For those who need to wash their hair every day: I used to have to wash my hair daily because it would get extremely greasy and itchy, but once I learned how to properly care for my hair and got higher quality products (esp ones with neither sulfates nor silicones), as well as learned about co-washing, I can now go 1-3 weeks between washes without it getting oily/stringy. It really helps to train your scalp; instead of washing daily, try washing every 2 days, and then after a few weeks move up to every 3 days, then every 4 days, etc. It takes time and patience to train your scalp, but in the end it is so completely worth it!

    I am obsessed with your accent you’re gorgeous!
  • My grandmother was born in 1896. Her hair was to her waist. She used soap in her hair once a week. She kept it braided and in a bun. You wouldn't be able tell if it was dirty. And she taught me to brush the hair one hundred strokes in the morning. I have her hair. Very fine like silky spiderweb.

    I found tea tree oil and vinegar are also great for cleansing without using shampoo!! I put tea tree and tamanu, jojoba, argan, olive, lavender, and rosemary oil in my hair 1-2x a day and brush it in really well with a scalp massage and my hair and scalp have NEVER been healthier or felt better! So glad that people are picking up these old traditions again and steering away from all the modern 'tricks and gimmicks' Thanks for the video and your Nana is SO BEAUTIFUL! you are as well! Have a blessed day

    Omg she's totally accurate lol, long hair is a second job! Also you always run out of conditioner much faster than shampoo.
  • If you have African/ Native ancestry… your ancestors are proud of you. The care and time you put into your hair, energy… etc your crown is beautiful. Diasporic women were super inventive and had to adjust to many changes. I appreciate your content as a transitioning diaspora woman.

    I tried going "no-poo" several years ago (heard it was better for curly hair), but my hair was literally dripping grease. (I realized later I needed to adjust what I was doing and get my hair to adjust to the point where I was producing less oil.) About a year ago, I tried doing a modified curly girl method, but it was super expensive, and seemed to be a lot of trying out products, if they didn't work, toss them, buy new products, try those out, etc. Lately, with quarantine, I stopped washing my hair as often because I wasn't going out as often...and holy moly. That seems to be the best thing I have ever done for the health of my hair. It's silky soft, thick, shiny, curly, and doesn't tangle nearly as easily. I get a lot of compliments on my hair now, and all I did was stop washing it as often. It doesn't smell dirty or feel dirty, and it's stopped producing as much oil as it used to (because I'm not constantly stripping the natural oils out with shampoo).
  • So much knowledge of our ancestors has been lost. Thank you so much for bringing it back, keeping it alive and sharing it. Your hair looks naturally beautiful. You don't have hair that looks plastic because of products. So nice! Lots of love to you and your grand-mother. Kind regards from Amsterdam <3
  • Okay, grandma. She looks happier and a like she is able to move better than some people who are teenagers or "Middle aged".
  • My hair is over knee length, and I do not use keratin. I treat my hair very gently.
  • I donot know about the western medieval times . But in India, women had thick long hair . Most women had textured hair and not pin straight and they loved it. They would wash their hair with Reetha or soapnut that produces lather like shampoos. Its amazing in washing hair , body , even utensils and clothes. They'd make herbal oils with almost 10-20 herbs , used alot of kitchen items. Their hair was long, strong and textured with frizz . If your goal is that , you can follow that . Otherwise modern products aim in taming frizz that they do quite well. While most wavy/curly or naturally thin hair women have trouble growing hair . I think one can mix and match methods according to their hair type , hair issues and goals . Keeping in mind that you'll have to sacrifice one or the other things to get a desired result. I'm aiming for long, thick hair and im nomore fond of smoothness and frizz free hair. My hair is beautiful whenever i do CG hair. People are shocked but when i comb my hair , the same people will say i have damaged hair and that i have to get keratin , smoothening treatments. It nomore bothers me .

    Important to remember these techniques were created in Europe around specific hair types that are common/native there (wavy to goldilocks curl). Also, they didn't really care about frizz because they wore their hair up most of the time and always in public. Basically, if that's not your hair then this is not designed for you.

    My grandmother taught me to wash my hair once a month with diluted soapy water. The rest of the time I brush my hair every other day, and I would have my hair in either a normal three strand braid or up in a loose bun. ( btw my Oma is Austrian )
  • @lauriivey7801
    I've always loved long hair, but my own had never even gotten to my waist, even though I rarely cut it. Since my office has had us working from home for the past year, my hair is now down to my hips - - - I think it's because I only wash it once a month (or less) and keep it in a braid most days
