I don't know who needs to hear this but know that whenever you feel alone, God is with you. Whenever you feel like you're unimportant, God's got all His eyes on you. Whenever you feel like everybody has forgotten about you, God remembers and thinks of you. You may not see Him but He sees you. He's eagerly waiting for you to notice him and to start a loving father-child relationship with you. He'll never fail you. He for sure never failed me. He's real and alive! God bless whoever reads this and may you overcome all your struggles, sorrows and receive spiritual, mental and physical healing. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Amen.
Amen! Thank you, @Kaaylaa B!
Thank you
Amen this is definitely for me
Thank you
I'm a father who tries his best to maintain his daughter's natural hair. Your videos help out a lot! Thanks for doing what you do. You're beautiful!
Thank YOU for building your little girl up. A father is the first man a girl is introduced to, his relationship with her can make or break her.
Omgg🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰
You are awesome
What a great and strong dad you must be! She must really appreciate you❤️.
Good job dada!!
Mistakes and in parentheses the recommendation:
1) using too much heat (extend the time between heat styling or eliminate it altogether)
2) not deep conditioning regularly (do it twice a month)
3) detangling hair when it's dry (detangle when hair is wet and with conditioner)
4) styling hair too often (protective styles such as buns, twists, braids etc)
5) styles that cause too much tension (dont choose styles that are too tight)
6) what you eat (increase water intake, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
7) not moisturizing hair especially the ends (moisturize that hair gurl)
8) no scalp stimulation ( massage your head with your moisturizer)
9) using the wrong products (choose products that make your hair feel and look good)
10) not protecting hair when sleeping ( use silk or satin scarf or pillowcases)
👍🏾
Thanks for doing this. That is nice. 💚💗👍🏾
💖❤️💖 thank youuuu
Thank you 😊
You’re blessed 🙏🏽
Working out 5 times a week
Drinking water with lemon
Wearing protective styles
Spritz with aloe Vera juice and water or a moisturizer that is ph 4-5
Use Shea butter
Oil scalp with fenugreek oil
Prepoo with oil
Use a clarifying shampoo and a moisturizer shampoo
Deep condition
No hair dye
Take a multi vitamin
Stay away from McDonald’s
Relax. Read a book, listen to music and be patient 😊
Good stuffs 👍🏽
Naturally Dunn love this!
😂 @ stay away from McDonald's lol
@@iamalanah1761 The hair's natural pH is between 4.5-5.5. Using a moisturizer with a pH in this range will help close the cuticles and keep the moisture in the hair along with using an oil afterwards to seal it in.
Love love love but I love my McDonald’s 😩
Don't forget iron pills for those that are anemic. Low iron will also not let your hair grow
I’m dealing with low iron.
That is so true. Up those iron levels.
Yep thanks for saying that I use iron pills and I also take liquid copper for low iron. Dont take them together at all take copper every other day. My hair stop growing and I disnt no my blood was low and I have anemia
Umm..glad to know this. I wonder if that’s my problem.
I'm so glad you mentioned that about iron. I am anemic, and I would apply deep conditioning, limit heat, and drink water; I never thought about it I need to be consistent with my iron supplements. Thank you!
She looks so gorgeous in this video. Love the makeup, lilac off the shoulder sweater and the huge Afro puff. Just beautiful😍😍
Ruth Syla What do you mean the first beautiful black woman you’ve seen? There’s so many beautiful black women
Super cute
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING 💜
She is soooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Joy Deja you too beautiful !
1. Using too much heat.
2. Not deep conditioning ( do it twice a month)
3. Detailing dry hair ( do it when wet or w/ conditioner)
4. Styling hair too often ( once a week is enough)
5. Too much tension or tight/pulling or uncomfortable hairstyles.
6. Poor diet & not enough water.
7. Moisturize hair & tip of hair
8. Stimulate scalp
9. Use products for specifically for your hair
10. Protect your hair w/ silk or satin.
Thank you so much♥️🤲🏼
Thank you!
Does the poor diet one mean we should eat more fruits and veggies or? I kinda don’t know where to start with that one.
THANK YOU!❤
Thank you
Please understand that what works for one may not work for others. Examples, Biotin grows the hell out of my nails but does nothing for my hair. Rice water damaged my hair but it grew my youngest daughter's hair 2 inches in a month. I have not personally tried Aloe Vera yet but it did nothing for my oldest daughter's hair. Also, I eat a healthy diet and drink alot of water-still no difference in hair growth and retention. That is why TH-cam is such a great forum so everyone can research, listen to other natural's routine and that way you can experiment to see what works for you.
😫😫😫Rice water was a very bad decision for me too. Same with Biotin for me as well
Im in a similar situation, has anything worked for you?
Aloe Vera did nothing to my hair too when I was younger so I want to try it again and see
Brilliant thoughts! Truly what works for one may not work for others. For me, rice water and aloe vera gel made my hair healthier and longer
I wish I could like your comment more than once 👍
That PUFF though!!!! 😍😍😍
I had short shoulder hair my whole life I thought I was just destined to have short, dry, broken hair. However, I was ABUSING my strands with heat (even when my hair was dirty), relaxers, tight braids, you name it. I had never moisturized my hair or even knew what deep conditioner was. My "hair care" consisted of shampoo maybe every two months and 5 mins of a random conditioner. Never got trims. In April/May, I decided to turn it around. I got a good trim. I have been washing and deep conditioning every 2 weeks. Wearing styles that protect my natural hair that are NOT tight at all. I have been heat free and the breakage has really reduced. I haven't noticed any serious growth yet but my hair is not dry any more and it does not break nearly as much. Before, I used to comb my hair and my shirt would be covered in little broken hairs. Now its healthy and moisturized and hopefully growing!
do you have tips to grow my hair back
@@gertrudekoduah4638 she just gave them all out
I know what you mean by your shirt being covered in broken hair. Im so glad i learnt about moisture😋🥳
You just described me, I recently started getting into healthier habits in general and this is Soo helpful I hope your hair got better
I try to add water to my hair daily even when I have a protective style on. It does wonders!
Try rose water
Do you just spritz it on the scalp on the root ? How would that work with something like a sew in?
I do this most days too. I do use rose water 50 % of the time.
Oo I do that too and grease
Try aloe vera juice instead of water(or half and half)... I'm low porosity and it's like using rice water rinses without all the protein! Hair growth and hydration galore!👍🏽
Everyone needs to remember that on an average, our hair grows half an inch a month. That's 6 inches a year and 30 inches in five years WHEN YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. It's not magic, it's consistent care. Take good care of your hair and you'll retain length.
Thanks for the heads up, sis.
Mine grows 2cm a month
My hair has never been past my shoulders since I was 10 years old my mom gave me a perm and I had to get a big chop I was blow drying my hair almost everyday and I’m just like why isn’t my hair growing so I started watching yt videos and I stopped using heat completely I deep condition every week I wear mini twists and mini braids I oil my scalp every 2 days I also detangle while my hair is wet and I used to use a wig brush but that broke my hair off a lot so now I use a scalp massager to detangle and I barely get breakage anymore and I started to trim my own ends I sometimes detox my hair as well and now my hair is past my shoulders I am so proud of myself 😁😌
Hi, how did you detox your hair. Thanks.
I only used hair dryers and when I wet my hair or have it dry it's not damaged it weird cause I never used a straighter and it's staying as my shoulders
Pls dear how do you detox your hair? Thanks!
Pls dear how do you detox your hair? Thanks!
Rhonda Gilbert Most likely with bentonite clay and ACV. That’s how I detox mine. I use Bentonite clay, ACV and aloe Vera. I use it as a mask before I deep condition.
Kim. I have noticed the difference in your hair over the years. You’re definitely one of the OGs who’s still putting out banging content. Great tips! I’m doing the hair challenge with you this year. My hair thickening like nobody’s business!
When you squint she kinda looks like Nicki minaj 😂
Righttttt she kinda sounds like nicki too😂
I agree...I thought she could be her sister or something😂
I thought I was the only one who noticed 😂😂😂
True😂
ur not wrong😭
I noticed that washing my hair every week was too much manipulation. Now I wash my hair every two weeks and I've retained my hair length.
Me too i noticed that so how i plan on monthly washes
Omg same!! My hair could not handle it and it makes me cringe now when I think how much I was putting it through on a weekly basis 😬. I also learned that I have to do the bulk of my detangling in the pre-poo phase.
Me too. I agree washing every two weeks is better for my hair.
Weekly washes kept my arms muscular 💪🏽 but I don’t miss it. I don’t work out or swim as much so I’m washing every three weeks or so.
ikr, that a game changer!!
all i say is, "dont be a prisoner of hair". if u wonna dye your hair, cut it, texturize etc, just do it. it is hair, it will still grow again.
Loooove this
You probably a bald headed heifer.
@@lashoncoleman4924 Oh my!!!
Lashon Coleman why are u so mean 🤨
Literally sometimes I feel like I have to do protective styles all the time to grow my hair
These hair styles are lit 🔥😍
No heat for 3yrs. Love my natural healthy hair. Wish I had done this years ago! But it's never to late guys. I started my journey 6 months ago. Unbelievable results
Immediately she said drink a lot of water......👉me grabbing water to drink coz sis I need that length😂😂😂
Thanks....... always looking gud💖💖💖💖💖💕💕💕💕
😄😄😄😄😄
Aussie Moist is the best conditioner ever I love ❤️ of their products. Before you even said your fave I was thinking Aussie works for me.
Strangely enough, I'm on the opposite end. When I was relaxed, my hair throughout childhood and early adulthood grew effortlessly. Now that I'm natural (4c) I've had to overcome a number of setbacks and errors. Mostly I've learned to deep condition, moisturize regularly and leave it alone throughout the week. Still learning and thankful for the natural community.
That’s exactly how it was for me. My relaxed hair was long and beautiful now being a 4c natural my hair doesn’t grow as fast.
Me too
was it thick though when it grew? when you had relaxer?
4c hair gets dry really quickly and has a hard time taking in moisture. When our hair was relaxed it easily soaks up moisture. Stick to Shea Butter, it’s magic. Melt it, use it as a pomade when your hair is wet. 4c hair loves that stuff. Also the Creme of Nature pure honey lime is amazing for 4a,b,c girlies. Hope this helps!
Pls how did u make ur hair natural again
definitely diet. i have been following your channel for years bc we have similar hair textures and when you went vegan, your hair just flourished! I had a stint of eating healthier and exercising and both my hair and my nails grew longer, but I didn't maintain it unfortunately. so I think diet is a major factor in hair growth.
So true! Diet is everything!
@@Niasmar no it’s not. I know plenty of fat unhealthy individuals with long thick hair. Genetics! People fail to mention how genetics is the most important factor when it comes to EVERYTHING.
Its the lashes for me!! 😍😍😍
I just started using Aussie and is been the best decision ever,it makes my hair super soft and manageable to comb through,guys believe her. pleaseeeeeeee go get you an Aussie conditioner
The 3 min moisturizer is the truth. I used it when relaxed and it still works on my natural hair
Aussie moist is the TRUTH!!! And it’s so cheap
And its affordable
💖❤️💖 I’m with you on that, Aussie conditioners are cheap and produce amazing results
I wish I could relate. I tried it again for the first time in awhile and my hair feels drier than normal. That was the only part of my routine that I changed :(
A recommendation I have is Exercise! Gets the blood and the nutrients flowing, it’s a effective way to stimulate hair growth! If your worried about your hair smelling funky, spraying it with some witch hazel and your fav essential oil should help :)
Wow, you're almost at 2 million subscribers!
Another great video!🥰
*I made the decision to care for my afro natural hair this year and it was one of the best decisions I've made! I was thinking that my hair doesn't grow until I started this journey and the most amazing thing is that I've been sharing my journey on my channel to motivate other ladies and they seen results! Have you tried any natural hair treatments? What do you recommend about using aloe vera for hair growth? You look gorgeous Sis!*
I use home made aloe Vera gel as leave-in and it detangle my hair soooooo good.
@@luzdelalbasanz I noticed it made my hair thicker after two weeks
But it is very important to leave the aloe leaf on water for 1 hour minimum to remove the iodine and latex from the plant if not you will experience an itchy allergic reaction.
Hi Ladies so I use the 365 whole leaf aloe vera leaf gel as a pre poo and a grape seed jojoba and avocado oil as pre poo noticed my hair loves the pre poo detangles much better
💖❤️💖 awww so happy for you
Perms have definitely stunted my hair growth. My hair stayed the same length for so many years. Now that I stopped putting perms in my hair, it won't stop growing. And my hair would always break in the middle of my head and now it's strong like the rest of my hair. You would have to offer me a million dollars to ever put a perm back in my hair.
I haven’t used heat on my hair in almost 2 years (since I shaved my head for the 2nd time). I wet my hair, moisturize it, and apply castor oil to seal everything daily/every other day. I twist or re-twist my hair when needed. I trim monthly/bi-monthly & it’s honestly growing the best it ever has. It helps that I’m too lazy to straighten my hair or doing any kind of intricate styling, lol. I just moisture it and twist it into chunky twists and throw on a wig or head wrap, lol ❤️
Monthly trimming is too much
- You can also get heat damage from the sun. So, when you’re going outside (especially for long periods of time) be sure to protect your hair accordingly. Great video, Kim! ❤️❤️
This was for me! I'm in the sun all summer and at the beach my puff gets extra crispy. I'll remember to keep monitoring products with me!
@@teeenuhbeenuh7426 Lawd, not "extra crispy" 😂😂😂😂😥😥😥😥
With which product?
My hair grew like crazy in the sun
I deep condition ones or twice a month just trying to see what works for my hair
Kim, I remember where you came from and I'm so proud of you. We have the same hair type and I should be where you are but I'm not....you have SURPASSED me SO I'm going to implement these tips...thumbs up if you remember when #theChicNatural was #backsyncfan... love your channel girlie
I feel like my mistake was styling too much , always touching my hair
Me too girl
Yea that shot made my hair so thin smh
same
I just was saying I feel like I lack hair retention. I’ve noticed it is many single strand knots and little breakages from the ends. Very annoying!
@Mia Alexander if you're experiencing hella single strand knots and tons of breakage you might need a trim. Of course it could be other things like inadequate moisture but try looking into getting a trim
I have to blow dry my hair at least once a month. This helps me
Could be time for a trim.
My diet helped me lots water, more fruits and vegetables also moving more.. keeping its protected aswell for more than a week at a time and aloe vera products
When I eat too much sugar I see the difference in my hair and skin a lot. We all pick our poison so to speak haha. Mine is sugar, but I've managed to be reasonable about it these last few years. I also use a lot of aloe vera in my regimen, my hair loves it!
@@renee3356 yyeppp me too sugar and greasy food my skin gna breakout
You are right when I started drinking healthy smoothies my hair grew real good and kept dyes out perms as well I kept parting and platting at night
@@cece3547 haha. Why does it have to be the things that makes us happy?! I wish greasy, sugary food had vitamins in them, and brussel sprouts were bad for you lol
I’m on the no heat hair journey as well and I have seen major differences.! #7monthsstrong
Me too
Question for ya, does that include no heat from blow drying? Just curious. This might be my next challenge. Thanks sending blessings
I am going through this right now. My 4c hair isn't growing pass my shoulders and I have been natural for 3 years now. So I definitely need to his video!
Check your genetics. Do women or have women in your family have hair past their shoulders?
MsBrooklyn11232 I changed my diet and exercise now my hair is in the middle of my back. 4c hair!
Same! I have been natural for about 4 and a half years and have not been able to grow it past my shoulders. I think a lot of my problem has been following some of these natural hair ladies and lathering my hair in all these gels and moisturizers that did absolutely nothing for me. Now that I have gone back to the basics like grease, low manipulation and regular trims, I’m hopeful that i can get more length.
I’m having the same issue as well. I follow a similar regiment
@@ntaan-yuh4885 Some of the people in my family has long and/or short hair. My mother and her sisters have long hair pass their shoulders.
I’m sick of people saying “sOmEtiMeS yOur hAiR wiLl bE sHoRt foReVer!11!” When they eat like crap, don’t drink water, and aren’t consistent. Yes, if your hair grows slow it grows slow, indefinitely. But you hair can’t stay one length forever. That’s not possible. It’s a lot of causes, but your hair just can’t NOT grow.
@antiquevenom, 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I had explain this to some of my family members. When I changed up my eating habits and went straight juicing with healthy foods,water, coconut water, coconut milk, and exercising my hair my has been growing full throttle.
yes, totally agree. Im 13 and my hair is thick and long, but I put them in braids bc it dries easily. The white boys in my grade keep saying my hair is fake bc it long and one time dis boy used scissors to cut the tip of my hair. I didnt say anything bc Ik none of the teachers liked me so...
Hair growth..diet, patience, and GENETICS.
You can maintain HEALTHY hair with this or that but length (I believe) is genetics. I can grow waist length hair just as my ancestors did if I choose to but that’s with protective styles and minimal manipulation (just as my ancestors did.)
I never had long hair or my family member I gues my ancestors did because my hair grew 16 inches in 3 years
I get its your opinion, but hair "length" is not based on genetics...it has everything to do with how well you take care of your hair and yourself. Genetics may determine your "growth cycle" but all of our hair grows, it may grow faster or slower than others based on growth cycle. There are so many black women with long hair and we all have the ability to retain length its just based on how well we take care of ourselves and our hair.😊
MsBizzyRae agreed especially length RETENTION is how you maintain your hair and health so that the length can be noticed. I agree with all as well as my belief with genetics.
Hanea Hanea that’s great. Yeah I have the fastest (longest when I’m not cutting it lol) in my immediate family, but my great great grandmothers both had very long hair. I am mostly plant based and very experienced with my hair so I’m sure that matters. Congrats on that great length!
I think it all plays a role. My hair is very long but it’s dry and I’m sure it’s super damaged too. My diet is decent, I have zero patience but I say genetics helped me get to where I need to be.
Whew, I clicked so fast. My hair been the same length for 2 years now.
45 days ago. I changed the way I ate. I always drink water but I increased my fruits and veggies. I too use Aussie conditioner for deep condition sometimes. I have been using pure aloe to condition my hair and homemade aloe oil to massage it. There is a noticeable difference and I love it Protective styles and changing what I put in my body has helped me.
I realized exactly what you said my hair was growing but the rate of the breakage was higher than the growth so I made 5 changes (oiling and massaging my scalp every night with castor oil and wild growth mixture, trimming followed by split end serum every 3 months, properly detangling my hair, deep conditioning and no more blow drying completely air) my hair is much more healthier. moisturized and every time I take my braids out I notice my growth
I've found that you really don't need to do much. Wash, deep condition, oil message your scalp, keep heat and tension styles to a minimum and trim your ends as needed, protientreatments once a month. Wear a silk scarf when sleeping. Figure out what products works best for your hairtype. I've always had long hair since childhood and would always get asked what do I do... this is my routine....Keep it simple.
I've been on a water base hair care regimen since Nov. '19: fermented rice water (with orange peels for scent), and aloe vera. Never through away the AV skin; you can get all of the nutrients when you boil it. Let the water cool, squeeze the water out of the leaves/skin, and then refrigerate. My hair has been growing like wild flowers. I spray AV on my hair/scalp daily.
I might try this..I hope my hair grows back but I forgot about it
3 months no heat, just for deep conditioning. Deep conditioning once a week. Sealing my moisture. Hair protective styles. Massaging my scalp once or twice a week , using a silk pillowcase and covering my hair at night. Trimming every 6 months. Slowly but surely seeing results.
Approximately 3 years ago I decided to follow all of Kim's tips from "How to Grow Hair Long, Think, & Healthy " video. Ever since, my hair has flourished! This is the longest my hair has ever been and the healthiest. It is thick and down to my mid-back. Many of the things she said in her video 3 years ago are reiterated here. I highly recommend following her advice consistently, and you will see results. Thank you Kim for all that you do on TheChicNatural; it has changed my hair journey forever.
Pls, was ur hair natural when I started the process. I just want to know cos mine isn't and I don't know if this process will work for it or not
This is a video my thick 4c needed bc it’s growing but still looks like the same little curly puff 😩👏🏽
When I see the tight braids, I feel the pain on behalf of the person caring it😂
Lol😆
Yes!!! 😂
That was my life but I stop at the middle of last year, I was going to the dermatologist for shot because I have traction alopecia. The shots were working but I moved to another state and with everything that's going on O haven't had an opportunity to find someone new
@@Prophetessrina1 🤣🤣
@@dejanaidrummond 🙌
I hv extremely long hair and my secret is professional vinegar hair rinse followed by deep conditioning. It works really well to grow my hair
How do you do that
Sounds like you're just clarifying your hair which removes shampoo and conditioner residue allowing your conditioner to penetrate your hair. Careful though (ph balance). There are shampoos that can do that instead of vinegar.
*Your hair has GROWN!* it's beautiful 🥰
I couldn't stop staring at those bomb azz eyebrows the whole time ❣️❣️ ... But yes ur hair is gorgeous and looks so healthy! Thanks for this video ... I'm in the process now of trying to get mine back in a healthy state
Will you still be uploading your vegan eats? Love your recipes 😍👏🏽
My hair is giving me streeeeeeeesssss honestly , i have tried hair booster, aloe vera gel, rice water and protective styling . I think the only thing I have not tried from yt is the Jamaican black castor oil. All I wish for now is a miracle or am getting a BIG CHOP!!😞.
There's no positive change , no hair growth , I mean it's so thiiiiiiiiiiin 😭
I dye my hair blonde cause my grays but I will like be natural I’m tired of heat . I have very pretty curl but when it’s dry i don’t know how to handle.u recommend coloring for my hair
I wash my hair as often as I need to. I deep condition every single time I wash and finger detangle it while I’m doing so and I have notice less hair fall and breakage. After I’m done, section my hair and apply a leave in with a heavy oil on my ends and hair shaft then plat my hair and let it air dry. I do stretch my hair out by bobby-pinning my plats from one side to the other so it can be more stretched out.
I've Been Using Black Rice Water in My Hair And Its Has Been Growing Like Weeds and It is Much Stronger I also Eat Right and I'm a fish when it comes to water I put my hair in Protection Style I Don't Like doing my hair its to long and its to Hot! Conditioner and Moisture is the Truth.
Yes I just started using black rice and it’s amazing!!
Where can I buy black rice water? I've never heard of it.
I found it! Nevermind
I too had hair that would never grow. That all changed when I started using Henna to color my hair. Henna is natural hair conditioner and while it takes time to get used to the product and how to use it properly, overtime it improves your curl pattern and strengthens your hair. Also every six months I would do an aphogee treatment which would stop it from breaking. Lastly I would clip the ends (the very tippy ends) every month. For some reason this stimulated it to grow. It would grow faster when I would clip them and not as fast when I would not clip them. I noticed that fact when I was clipping my edges in the front. They had been really short from wearing my hair pulled back. They grew like wild fire when I started clipping them.
I use Henna every couple of weeks. Everytime I start seeing the gray I use Henna. It's a miracle worker!!!!
@Angie Baby What is aphogee treatment?
Kathleen Cumberbatch
It is a protein treatment that you can get at Sally’s beauty supply and all the directions are on the bottom it is not expensive. You must be careful with protein treatments however use them sparingly because they can make the hair dry and brittle if overused. But if used properly they can put a halt to breaking right now!
Sabrina White The Hana that I use is not something that can be used that often… Not only because of the effect on the hair but also because it is exhausting 🤣
What do you mean by clipping them?
Hair grows some people just don’t know how to retain length. Trim, protect, and moisturize! ✨
Do you deep condition the same day that you shampoo? If so, can you post an updated wash day routine?
You should DC after shampooing
My hair hasn't been growing for the past 3 months now bcoz I have dyed it and haven't taken care of it at all,my plan was to cut it all off again, but I wanna know whether rice water will help it since it's the only cheapest product we have here bcoz all the products TH-camrs use are extremely expensive.
Apoghee. They gave a daily protein treatment, 2 weekly treatment and a 4-6 weekly treatment. I use them and Cantu on my fine high porosity hair. 15 bucks for deep conditioner or leave in cream conditioner is not for me since I use a lot! Mist your hair daily with rose water and aloe Vera juice. Do not use tap water. Tap water is filled with too many chemicals for dyed hair. Also use a sulfate free moisturing shampoo. Deep condition weekly.
I agree that deep conditioning is a MUST 🙌🏽
Exposure to hear is a mistake! I think our hair texture does not have good relationship with it😂
Did anybody get taught L.O.C.? Stands for L=liquid O=oil C=conditioner (leave in) and does it work?
Yes
Yes. However, I learned that the “L” stands for “leave-in”. In other words, not just any “liquid” but rather a proper leave-in conditioner. So I do leave-in, oil, cream (and 90% of the time the last product I use is “gel” because it keeps away the frizz on my twist-outs or braid-outs) LOCGel.
Great advice! My hair growth has been awesome. Because I found out that being iron deficient can also cause breakage. My hair grew everywhere except the middle. That kept breaking at a certain point. Everyone told me it was because of pony tails, the shampoos, not getting trims. Although I stopped everything suggested. All it was is a simple iron deficiency. So that’s my advice. It works for me .
What is helping you with your iron?
Marlyn Joya I have been taking an iron supplement. I started with liquid iron. Cause it get into the system immediately. That’s is 18 mg. And a multivitamin. I noticed after the month. That the short spots in my hair got a lil longer. I read that we shouldn’t have anymore than 65 mg of iron. But if you take gummy vitamins. There is no iron , zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, and one other vitamin. So I got a 45 mg iron. And my hair has gone from nape of my neck to bottom of my neck. Two months. I’m 40 years old in the next two weeks. As you get older those vitamins and drinking water are key to healthy body and hair.
I just subscribed, was just wondering why l didn't subscribed. Wow that bun is everything, l love it love it. Wow that difference though is insane😳😳. I stopped using heat ND my hair started growing a lot. I use rice water in my hair everyday my hair is a few inches to my waist now. I also use onion leave in spray that doesn't smell on my hair everyday, my hair is loving it.thanks for the upload😍😍😍
I agree that eating healthier and drinking water helps. Less to no heat. Finding the right products and minimizing those products helps. I only use 3. I also agree touching your hair less helps. My hair stays in twists and the only time they get messed with is to retwist. Tight hairstyles have to be an issue bc it’s tight lol. Idk how people can function with it tight. I too struggled with long hair and it was a constant daily prayer to have long hair and nails, which I now have both. It’s definitely a lot of trial and error but anything worth having takes true commitment and prayer. The Lord always leads and guides. Loved the video. You be blessed.
girlfriend you looking takeaway so beautiful 🥰👌👍
Man im pretty good with following 8 of the 10 suggestions. I even been taking Biotin for a couple months now. I've also tried the rice water... My hair seems to grow very slow & the ends get thinner as it grows. But stays thick if I keep it above my shoulders 😵💨 I'm an officer who happens to have an active cosmetology license. And as an officer we have to wear our hair up. I'm so tired of protective updos. I should just shave my head. Sounds simpler 😂😨
Understand, we naturally lose 80-100 strands of hair DAILY, EVEN when you don't comb your hair, the loose strands are there, waiting to be removed. So PLEASE know daily hair in your comb is not necessarily hair loss, UNLESS it is a MASS amount each day.
EVERY 7 years we have a BRAND New Head of hair.
i really recommend rice water😭
I can’t deal with the smell. Could I add some kind of oil or something to kill the smell?
Yes!!!! It’s soften my hair so much and made it smooth and silky. A lot of people use it incorrectly so I get why they say it doesn’t work. But trust and believe it really does help a lot to strengthen hair
ME TOO
@@paulinesow1124 In your opinion, what's the correct way to use rice water?
@@ntaan-yuh4885 Add lavender essential oil thats what I use
Okay. I picked back up the Aussie moist. Can't find anything to compare. I'm bringing it back
One of the products that has tremendously helped my wash day is the Dove Nutritive Solutions Intensive Repair Conditioner. This helps detangling my 4b-4c hair so much easier. I also pre-poo with V05 conditioner. These two steps make wash day smoother. Also, the Dove is less than $5, and the V05 is @ $1!
I never use anything on my natural hair like heat.....the only heat basically available for my hair is the sun actually
It just doesn't grow
I've trained my hair for two years and it never went past my nose tip until late last month when I noticed it grew a bit and just stops above my upper lip now
I've a natural nigerian type 4a hair
What to do? I'm so worried
Does conditioner hinder hair growth?
DIET 📍📍📍📍
You can do al the right things but if you have a horrible diet that can decrease length retention as well because if your body is lacking something because of your bad diet, your hair will be the last thing your body sends any nutrients to.
DEEP CONDITIONING is essential for retaining moisture. It literally changed my life. I use heat because it makes it work better. My natural hair (4a-4b medium - low porosity) is moisturized for a week or more. It stopped my extreme breakage and my hairs softer and easier to manage. It worked so well i put it in my sisters TRANSITIONING hair haha her roots were sooo soft and she's 4b-4c.
My hair was always on the longer side, when I follow TH-cam my hair did not improve. All I do now is cleanse, deep condition, moisturize, protect repeat. Most 4C hair need a little heat to stretch it, this reduces, frizz, knots and breakage. Deep condition every time you wash.
Great video you’re very beautiful, have anyone told u that u and Nicki Minaj resembles so much!!
Need this!! Quarantine has made me embrace my natural hair and its definitely lacking moisture
Months late, but I've changed my hair routine now using the Dr. MIRACLE line. I started mixing black castor oil, olive oil and coconut oil (sometimes adding a little of the dr miracle growth oil) and putting that in my hair after I was but before I put in my leave in conditioner. For almost all of 2020 my hair was in cornrows sometimes box braids or just a top puff ball.. my hair has grown SO MUCH. My growth had my family and friends asking for my wash routine lol also I do pretty much the same thing to my son's hair. Hes now 4 with hair to the center of his back.. 👐🏾👐🏾
Water, fruits and vegetables definitely helped with my hair growth journey. AND keeping my hair moisturized!
Omg you kinda look like Nicky Minaj 😅
One thing I’d like to mention about detangling: "dry" detangling using just an oil & no water is an option as well. I learned that my hair prefers “dry” finger detangling using an oil pre-poo. I know it’s not the most common type of detangling, but whenever I tried it wet with conditioner, all of the product essentially turns into glue once it’s wet.
WhatLiesBeneathTheWeave and PowerInYourCurl also “dry” detangle using an oil. Just mentioning this because I didn’t know this was an option before I saw someone else mention it.
I totally agree. I have hip length true 4C hair and oil detangling works best for me.
@@JoAnnaTheSoulStringerJohnson ooh okay, i always have to detangle with water because it’s just easier
My daughter's hair never grew past her shoulders UNTIL she began using rice water. Today, her natural hair is past her bra line!
You’re the reason I know about hair growth through scalp massages. My hair has been forever changed!
You are my original favorite you tube person. Thank you for everything you do and your hard work. It ain't easy. 💘
I had multiple bald spots after going natural, but I started using castor oil and detangling my hair from the ends to the root. It took a while to grow that hair out, but even now my hair went from a little above shoulder length & thin to thick and at my armpit. Thanks for your tips sis!
Do you have to use caster oil forever? Or just a limited time. Please respond
I love your esthetics and color choices - how your lips and eyeshadow match, the match between your sweater and nails. Absolutely gorgeous!
Hi Kim! Great video and suggestions as always💜. I have 4b/4c hair that was naturally really thick but it got thicker and longer once I started doing some of the things you mentioned. I basically deep condition every time I wash my hair now lol. I don't use heat unless I'm sitting under a dryer on medium for 20 minutes. I also spray my hair with water & leave in daily. It has helped a lot over the past 4 years. I'm trying to figure out new ways to keep my hair protected and nourished when it's in box braids. If you have any tips that would be great. I oil my scalp more often now and my edges.
Who else is here since the curly updos?? ✋✋✋ me loves you kim🥰❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your continued support!!
I started washing and deep conditioning my hair weekly. Taking a hair,skin, nails vitamin. I do see a difference its only been 5 weeks but I see a difference

Yes
What do you suggest for hair loss?
When I stuck to routine, I started noticing hair growth. Sometimes it still seems like it’s not growing, but I press on.
Exercise and drink plenty of water. Just doing this can make a huge difference. While you’re exercising, change what you eat. Limit or cut off fried foods, junk foods and processed foods. You know what.... just exercise 3 days a week and drink plenty of water and see what happens with your hair. Thank me later: 💖
Lol gonna try the exercising .
It's really frustrating why do we as black women have to go through so much with our hair just almost seems impossible
OMG my dad bought that electric tool thing for his back a long time ago and now Im barley finding out that you can you use it on your scalp 😂😂😂
I am on lisnopril blood preasure med my hair is sickly thin looking to GROW my hair out help1
My hair has always been long since I was a child. My mom took great care of my hair taking me to the shop, getting ends trimmed, putting a scarf on at night. So I had a good routine but as an adult, especially in my 20s, I found my hair shedding and breaking a lot. Long story short: I manipulated it too much! I was always changing styles, like daily. I used heat on my hair a lot trying to make it look smooth and straight. Once I decided to go 100% natural (I used to relax 3-4x per year) I would only use heat 3-4x per year for getting trims. And I always do a lot of protective styles. Now my hair doesn't shed and break so much.
Great great video🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, ALSO, keep moisture in your hair, I use Chebe and I mixed it with several oils and butters. Every week I take my hair down use a spray bottle with water and my chebe butter mix apply to each section of my hair re-braid my hair and redo the next week . I DO NOT wash the products out. My hair has grown and its a lot thicker with VERY little shedding. I love your video, you got RIGHT to the point🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯💯✌✌❤❤
