My hair is almost to my knees and I'm all black. My mom never had long hair. My mom's hair is thick and My sister has thick hair but My hair is thin. Any black woman can grow long hair. You need to have a hair routine and moisturize and deep condition!
Thank you for saying this, this is the same thing I tell all women of African descent. You can if you reduce manipulation, stop TENSION HAIRSTYLES, Simple haircare routine.
I have fine hair too, the longest I've gotten was mid back😩 I'm trying to reach tailbone length. Idk what to do at this point. I try to moisturize my hair and ends as much as possible, but I'm busy and my hair breaks easily.
The problem with Black women is that we just don’t know how to look after our own hair. It takes a routine, consistency and patience! Simple as that. Once I realised my hair loves moisture three times weekly, shea butter and to be left alone, well my hair was off and growing.
I always hear that my hair is very high density, but it's only grown to medium length (arm pit) until breakage and I have to big chop. According to 23 and me, I have West African heritage
Beautiful hair. I love seeing young ladies embracing their natural hair and letting it flourish. As we get older hair grows slower and just... differently. I wish I embraced my hair more when I was younger to really experience its potential.

I was briefly part of the tailbone length. Then it was cut off without my permission 😤. It took me 7 years from a pixie cut. My hair went from lower back to shoulder. I didn't even realize that the trim had turned into a full big chop. I thought it was just shrinkage. It wasn't until I got home and was braiding my hair for the night, she cut off over 12 inches.
I'm so sorry that happened. It's fine when you decide you want to cut it for a change, but when someone else just cuts your hair without permission that's absolutely spiteful! Hopefully, you never let that person touch your hair again.
People with 4b/4c hair need to adress the toxic relationship that they have with their hairstylist(s). Not only will they yank our edges off in one appointment, but they will also chemically treat (esp. relax) our natural hair without our consent. They will charge us extra for having natural hair, verbally harrass us for accepting our hair as it is, refuse to style it unless we fry it, violently and abusively comb it, etc. I believe that having natural hair salons owned and ran by natural hair experts with natural hair themselves, who have overcome their inferiority complexes and learned to genuinely love their hair, is the first solution. The moment I went natural, I told myself to never let anyone with an inferiority complex lay hands on my head. Such people will damage hair, whether consciously or subconsciously.
@Peggy Gilespie High key it's why I only go to a hair dresser with nice hair. It feels so damn petty, but I have never gotten better trims than I have from my current hair dresser who usually has some of the nicest most lush hair at any given time in the salon. I used to have to fight people to stop trying to chop me every time, it was insanity.
You are stunning, your hair is stunning. I love long hair too Unfortunately 5 months back I had an incident at a salon , that saw me lose 11 inches😭😭😭. My hair was mid back length and after it was now this irregular ear length cut. Its better now it's now shoulder length, I am starting to feel more and more confident. I cant wait for it to be long again
Wow. That is so awful. Sorry to hear some evil women cut off so much of your hair without your permission. I've had similar incidents when going to hair salons which is why I decided to take care of my own hair.

Moving on to thigh length is a big decision. Best of luck in reaching that goal. You can do it!💜 💜 Indigenous Strandz and 22nd Century Natural Worman here on YT have thigh-length hair if you need a bit of inspiration for your thigh-length journey. I'm sitting at hip length trying to decide when I want to move on to tailbone. Right now I cut it when it gets a couple of inches past hip length. I guess I'm just not ready yet. IDK why but it just seems like a much larger step. LoL

Beautiful inspiration....4 years in and I am at BSL . I came close to relaxing my hair this summer...happy I resisted. I think my goal is anywhere between MBL and Waist length.

Some people just don't care and they don't have your best interest in heart our daughter relaxes my hair every 26 weeks.. I have gained some length as well it comes past my bra strapped in the back and I'm very proud of myself because I too had suffered from unhealthy hai'm unhealthy here.

Your hair is beautiful! We may have different hair types, but I can relate to the struggle of not knowing how to look after your hair, or even unconscious neglect. I've come to love protective styles, they keep my hair safe, secure and out of the way, whilst looking pretty and ultimately, serving a function - they've become part of my routine and hair goals. I currently have thin waist length hair, which I'm growing out partially because there is a particular style i wanna try with it.
I had relaxer in for about 6 years and I finally chopped it all off once I started noticing my balding temples. I too still struggle with trying to get the hair to grow back there but it was a bit comforting to know that I'm not alone
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. I saw some pics on Pinterest of your hair that someone had pinned and wished that I could find the girl in them. I’m soooo glad TH-cam recommended this video. I’ll be buying some of your butters for sure!
Beautiful ......... I told my husband that my aim for my hair length is midi length... So I happy to hear you say thigh length.... I am soon shoulder length.... Thanks for the inspiration..... Blessed love ✨✨
@@ifshesopleases hi Queen Goddess, thanks for your reply and the encouraging words 😊😊 ... The meaning of my name Meserete along with my second name is 'Born of Christ"..... Uzondu means "The way of Life"
You wearing the dress and the cute bow ARE EVERYTHING. I'm so inspired to make myself a big crazy bow and wear it. Fortunately my hair is also quite long now! Congrats to you
Im positive my follicles are damaged from relaxers ever since I was 3-4 😭 my pattern is amazing, 4c but my hair is so fine , I’m trying to find ways to thicken my follicles so that my strands can be less fine and fragile
If that's the case you just need to cut the damaged ends. There's no way to restore split/damaged ends. Better cut it now so you can grow your hair more easily. And do a trim every 4-6 months
@@dlilwon yes i know I do have finer hair naturally but since I was relaxed from so young and my mom didn’t know better than to overprocess my hair and douse my scalp in the relaxer, I feel like my follicles never got the chance to be in their full potential anyway , ya get me? I have sulfur 8, I haven’t used that in a while but I’m trying onion juice soon
Hi Vasty, Thanks so much for sharing! Sorry to hear that you think your follicles may be damaged 😖 I used to take Biotin back in the day and I think it may have helped me with thickness. This may be something that may work for you x
@Trinity M you're right, I know what follicles are idk why I started talking about ends. But generally speaking I think if your hair is naturally fine and thin you cant really change that. You can thicken your hair a bit but it's not gonna like change the density of your hair drastically. I could be wrong tho
Here's what I did to grow back my edges after a hairstyle destroyed them: I applied (white) onion juice thrice a week on the bald area, rinsing it off after 6-8 hours. Then I applied vicks every single night religiously. (Vicks contains camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil solely. These ingredients stimulate hair growth.) I had a bald spot about 5 cm in circumference above my left ear and this routine helped it grow 10 centimetres in 28 days. My hair does not naturally grow that fast; this routine quadrupled it.
@@LowSlungBadBitch It is the most effective treatment I've ever used (and I've used a number). To spare yourself the onion odor, I'd suggest you add rosemary or peppermint oil, or ginger juice from about 2 inches of ginger. After washing it off, apply a scented leave in conditioner ie Aunt Jackie's and your hair won't have a trace of onion smell in it.
@@ifshesopleases Yes, I never miss the onion smell, but the results are worth it----thicker, longer, darker, softer, strongerhair. I forgot to mention that the side where I used the onion juice is now the fastest growing on my head, and it's also the darkest, thickest, and least likely to tangle. The smell of onion deserves an Oscar in and of itself. 😅 But essential oils and scented hair creams eradicate of it. I hope you experience the same results that I did.
Omg! This gave me so much life!!! I have a similar hair story, as my hair was about waist length, then went to a salon and got it butchered. It hasn't quite been the same since, but now I'm starting to seed what's the best option for me to grow it to tailbone! Congrats on your product and your beautiful hair 🥰😘❤️🙏🏽
i don't know why but to be honest to me u are the best💖💘 youtuber teaching us and talking to us how you grew your hair n ur struggles. Like girl you sincere haven't seen 🙅or watched a TH-camR SOO TRUE. 😍😘
Ahh. I remember trying to do my own hair in middle school 🤣 I guess you could say my first accidental big chop 😝 congrats on your journey ! Keep it healthy!
Hi Love Thank-you so much for your comment! Best of Luck on your hair journey! If there are any topics that you would like me to address in upcoming videos, please feel free to let me know
this is my first time on your channel. you seem sweet and knowledgeable. I will definitely be purchasing one or more of your butters when I have the opportunity to, i’ll be subscribing as well!!
Next time you want to play with short hair weave it in. I have a blast with different lengths, colors, and styles of weave here and there. I have hella thick thigh length hair. So I know sometimes you just need a break. Which you can find with weave or braids. This can also be a great way to grow your hair as well.
@@stephaniegoldman5830 Yes a basket weave is the best way to protect your real hair. A month is good for me. I've never left mine in longer than that. I have a whole lotta hair, and need to take care of it under there.
Thanks for sharing your journey! You are beautiful and your hair is amazing. Nice texture and the styles you choose look great. I notice that you do have strong and healthy hair strands even when your hair was much shorter.
Thank you SO much for sharing this video and for taking us on this journey with you! I will be purchasing some of your product as SOON as I get my next pay check. Sending my love from the USA. 😘
Thank you! This is very inspirational. When I was young my mom would relax my hair and leave it alone and my hair would grow down my back. I've been natural since I was around 14 and no heat since I was 17. Now I'm 20 and I just want to make it to mid-back length. I remember telling myself at 18, once I turn 22 I will have that mid-back length. I feel like I am letting myself down :/. I am trying to find out what works for me, but I always feel like I'm stuck at shoulder length. My goal this year is armpit length. I'm going to try this year using fewer braids as I think my braider is just too harsh on my hair (she never braids too tight). I was able to find someone to trim my natural hair but it's $100 every 6 months (trying to see if I can find another person that won't apply heat. I haven't used heat since the 2020 fight before the pandemic and I refuse to). My hair will like something and then hate it. It won't take in heavy products. It'll just sit on my hair. I find a good conditioner, but I'm still looking for a shampoo (I'm going to try an unscented one now I think my scalp hates fragrance especially since my actual face hates it). The trim when I got it in November, my hair loved it and felt so soft after. I have a lot of breakage (especially in the front and top of my hair) because my hair is so thin but I have a lot of it. The back of my hair takes moisture and everything is so much better than the top. I have tried (almost) every brand expensive and inexperienced. I am so sad. This year I plan on just cornrowing and doing crochet and wigs all year. Hopefully, I see progress. Sorry, I know this is a long read, but your video inspired me to not give up. If I am honest your hair is gorgeous (and so are you!) and I want that for myself. Thank you for the video :).
If your hair is on your shoulders, try keeping them off your shoulders, definitely take a break from braids, I tried doing braids to “protect” my hair but it broke off a lot right now I’m doing twist with my real hair all 2022 I’m loving the growth!
Hi Ava Thanks so much for your lovely message! I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many troubles with your hair I would definitely lay off the braids for a while, as my own experience was very thinning :( Perhaps you can try more simple protective styles such as buns or twists to ease the tension. Please let me know what kind of topics you would like to see in my videos going forward and I will try and include as much information as I can Thanks again for the comment!
Try African black soap for shampooing . It made my 4c hair so soft, I was shocked. Usually, I never look forward to wash days because shampoos usually dry my hair out so bad & it makes it so hard to detangle
My hair was midback lenght now am at the same lenght of yours i think its past tailbone lenght touching my butt..am aiming to the classic lenght.. cuze am planning to wear it curly most of the time.. so i hope it will beat waist lenght when it's curly.. good luck in growing your hair ❤️💜
Omg. I always suspected my braids and protective styles caused my hair to thin but living in the Caribbean I’m not sure if wearing it out is worse due to the heat.
the heat is better than those braids and 4c hair is more adapted to warmer moist climates like yours, if it was hot and dry that would be different. I visited Africa and have found I don't need to moisturise as much here than in Australia.
@@jazzip in africa its also really hot i think its why our hair is curly there must be a way to manage it in heat because its were its native and common. I think some research would help out eventually but watch afope the tricologist talk about how to retain moisture.
Hi dear ! Your hair are so gorgeous. When gonna you release the full set - Length Retention Hair Butters (Coconut, Strawberry, Vanilla and Mango) again please? Thank you from Belgium.
Hi Djana, Thanks for your lovely comment! They are actually available now! I just noticed that the quantities were not updated. Feel free to grab them now as there are only a couple of sets left 😍 Thank you so much for your support!
Thanks for sharing. Your hair is lovely 😍. We had to cut our hair in school which is such a shame. I wish we were taught to love and appreciate our hair as young kids. I also just shared my hair journey.
Oh my goodness that "Hairstylist" sounds exactly like the one who butcherd my hair combing it with the relaxer into my hair constantly. I had to cut it all off and start again it has been two years and I'm at collar bone length. But I see I need to leave the braids alone and just embrace my hair cause the thinning is stressing me out.. Thank you for this I'm going to set a length goal too
Thank you for sharing! Interesting, no one in my family has hair similar to thickness and length to my hair. I think your hair looks similar to my hair.

You can thicken your hair a bit but it's not gonna like change the density of your hair drastically. I could be wrong tho
Here's what I did to grow back my edges after a hairstyle destroyed them: I applied (white) onion juice thrice a week on the bald area, rinsing it off after 6-8 hours. Then I applied vicks every single night religiously. (Vicks contains camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil solely. These ingredients stimulate hair growth.) I had a bald spot about 5 cm in circumference above my left ear and this routine helped it grow 10 centimetres in 28 days. My hair does not naturally grow that fast; this routine quadrupled it.
Not excited to try this but I’m going to do it 😭😭😭
@@LowSlungBadBitch It is the most effective treatment I've ever used (and I've used a number). To spare yourself the onion odor, I'd suggest you add rosemary or peppermint oil, or ginger juice from about 2 inches of ginger. After washing it off, apply a scented leave in conditioner ie Aunt Jackie's and your hair won't have a trace of onion smell in it.
Hi Rue,
Thanks for the amazing tips!
Thought like Space Bar, I'm not excited to try it lol, it's on my list!
@@ifshesopleases Yes, I never miss the onion smell, but the results are worth it----thicker, longer, darker, softer, strongerhair. I forgot to mention that the side where I used the onion juice is now the fastest growing on my head, and it's also the darkest, thickest, and least likely to tangle. The smell of onion deserves an Oscar in and of itself. 😅 But essential oils and scented hair creams eradicate of it. I hope you experience the same results that I did.
Where do you get the onion juice? Do you make it?
Yasss girl, Beautiful crown 👑 you have. My best friend is Nigerian she also has beautiful hair.
Aww thank-you so much!
Omg! This gave me so much life!!! I have a similar hair story, as my hair was about waist length, then went to a salon and got it butchered. It hasn't quite been the same since, but now I'm starting to seed what's the best option for me to grow it to tailbone! Congrats on your product and your beautiful hair 🥰😘❤️🙏🏽
Thank-you!
Your hair is beautiful! A crown of glory indeed ❤️
Thank-you so much!
Beautiful storytelling! Thank you for sharing! Gorgeous hair!

Hi Love
Thank-you so much for your comment!
Best of Luck on your hair journey! If there are any topics that you would like me to address in upcoming videos, please feel free to let me know
beautiful hair. being able to maintain thickness is definitely key
Thank-you! :)
Your hair is so long and beautiful. Get it! It looks so nice.
Thank-you so much
I know this is a video about hair, but you are SO beautiful!
Aww thank-you so much!
My absolute dream hair!
Aww thank-you!
this is my first time on your channel. you seem sweet and knowledgeable. I will definitely be purchasing one or more of your butters when I have the opportunity to, i’ll be subscribing as well!!
Thank-you so much!
Next time you want to play with short hair weave it in. I have a blast with different lengths, colors, and styles of weave here and there. I have hella thick thigh length hair. So I know sometimes you just need a break. Which you can find with weave or braids. This can also be a great way to grow your hair as well.
How long do you leave your weave in and do you use the weave cap and how long do you leave the weave in?
@@stephaniegoldman5830 Yes a basket weave is the best way to protect your real hair. A month is good for me. I've never left mine in longer than that. I have a whole lotta hair, and need to take care of it under there.
You are just so elegant and sweet 😊. Love the vid, definitely subscribing for more 💙
Aww thank-you so much for your lovely comment, and for subscribing
Brown woman magic!! Love it sis
Thank-you!
I make my own growth oils and still would love to try your butters! Will be ordering soon. Subscribed and love your hair journey. Thank you!
Hi Diana
Aww thank-you so much!
Out of curiosity, what do you include in your growth oils?
Thanks!
Hi Love
Thanks for sharing your journey! You are beautiful and your hair is amazing. Nice texture and the styles you choose look great. I notice that you do have strong and healthy hair strands even when your hair was much shorter.
Hi Selina
Thank-you for your lovely comment!
This aligns with my current hair journey. I’ve started locs for the purpose of growing my hair but I’m also careful with my hair care
Thanks for your comment! Oh wow, can't believe our journeys are so similar
I knew you were Nigerian! 🇳🇬☺️
Hi Chelsea
Thanks for your comment! Haha glad to hear that you could tell!
@@ifshesopleases what?? I didn’t know you were Nigerian too , I must have missed it in the video
Thank you SO much for sharing this video and for taking us on this journey with you! I will be purchasing some of your product as SOON as I get my next pay check. Sending my love from the USA. 😘
Aww thank-you so much!
You’re Nigerian!! Im so happy and I wouldn’t have even guessed that and I’m Nigerian too sis🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It's absolutely incredible and very inspiring too!!! 💛
P.S. Your butters look so nice too!
Thank-you so much for your lovely comment!
You’re gorgeous! Love the hair 🤩.
Thank-you so much!
Thank you! This is very inspirational. When I was young my mom would relax my hair and leave it alone and my hair would grow down my back. I've been natural since I was around 14 and no heat since I was 17. Now I'm 20 and I just want to make it to mid-back length. I remember telling myself at 18, once I turn 22 I will have that mid-back length. I feel like I am letting myself down :/. I am trying to find out what works for me, but I always feel like I'm stuck at shoulder length. My goal this year is armpit length. I'm going to try this year using fewer braids as I think my braider is just too harsh on my hair (she never braids too tight). I was able to find someone to trim my natural hair but it's $100 every 6 months (trying to see if I can find another person that won't apply heat. I haven't used heat since the 2020 fight before the pandemic and I refuse to). My hair will like something and then hate it. It won't take in heavy products. It'll just sit on my hair. I find a good conditioner, but I'm still looking for a shampoo (I'm going to try an unscented one now I think my scalp hates fragrance especially since my actual face hates it). The trim when I got it in November, my hair loved it and felt so soft after. I have a lot of breakage (especially in the front and top of my hair) because my hair is so thin but I have a lot of it. The back of my hair takes moisture and everything is so much better than the top. I have tried (almost) every brand expensive and inexperienced. I am so sad. This year I plan on just cornrowing and doing crochet and wigs all year. Hopefully, I see progress. Sorry, I know this is a long read, but your video inspired me to not give up. If I am honest your hair is gorgeous (and so are you!) and I want that for myself. Thank you for the video :).
If your hair is on your shoulders, try keeping them off your shoulders, definitely take a break from braids, I tried doing braids to “protect” my hair but it broke off a lot right now I’m doing twist with my real hair all 2022 I’m loving the growth!
Hi Ava
Thanks so much for your lovely message!
I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many troubles with your hair
I would definitely lay off the braids for a while, as my own experience was very thinning :( Perhaps you can try more simple protective styles such as buns or twists to ease the tension.
Please let me know what kind of topics you would like to see in my videos going forward and I will try and include as much information as I can
Thanks again for the comment!
Hi Aniexo
YOU GOT THIS!!
Try African black soap for shampooing . It made my 4c hair so soft, I was shocked. Usually, I never look forward to wash days because shampoos usually dry my hair out so bad & it makes it so hard to detangle
My hair was midback lenght now am at the same lenght of yours i think its past tailbone lenght touching my butt..am aiming to the classic lenght.. cuze am planning to wear it curly most of the time.. so i hope it will beat waist lenght when it's curly.. good luck in growing your hair ❤️💜
Hi Kady
Wow, your hair sounds beautiful!
Thanks for your lovely comment!
Omg. I always suspected my braids and protective styles caused my hair to thin but living in the Caribbean I’m not sure if wearing it out is worse due to the heat.
the heat is better than those braids and 4c hair is more adapted to warmer moist climates like yours, if it was hot and dry that would be different. I visited Africa and have found I don't need to moisturise as much here than in Australia.
@@tawanacalamari5712 it is very dry here year round expect during rainy season. I really hate how quickly my hair becomes “crispy”.
@@jazzip in africa its also really hot i think its why our hair is curly there must be a way to manage it in heat because its were its native and common. I think some research would help out eventually but watch afope the tricologist talk about how to retain moisture.
When you say braids, do you mean braids with added hair?
@@newkidontheblock772 yes and crochet braids as well.
Both you and your mom are beautiful
Aww Thank-you so much!
You are so adorable 🥰. Thanks for the super detailed hair journey!
Thank-you

Thanks for sharing. Your hair is lovely 😍.
We had to cut our hair in school which is such a shame. I wish we were taught to love and appreciate our hair as young kids. I also just shared my hair journey.
Hi Mannick
Thank-you for your comment!
Oh wow, my mum actually experienced the same thing going to school in Nigeria
Oh my goodness that "Hairstylist" sounds exactly like the one who butcherd my hair combing it with the relaxer into my hair constantly. I had to cut it all off and start again it has been two years and I'm at collar bone length. But I see I need to leave the braids alone and just embrace my hair cause the thinning is stressing me out.. Thank you for this I'm going to set a length goal too
These 'stylists' are honestly so embarrassing. The one who worked on my hair did the same!
I wish you the best on your new length goal
This was an amazing video and I also want to say you are so gorgeous!!! All your pictures are so cute!
Thank-you so much
Thank you for the journey!! Very inspiring! You are gorgeous my sister!

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your experience. If I might make a suggestion: consider getting in touch with a Nigerian beauty products chain called Perfect Trust and see whether they'll stock your products (so that we can buy them here in Nigeria!). They have just about everything else and I would love to get my hands on your butters. Think about expanding your buyer base! 👏🏾👍🏿
Woahhhhh
You're so inspiring 😭😭🙏🏾
