I have fine hair and the one thing that absolutely changed my hair for the better is henna. My hair is waist length now and stronger than it’s ever been. The absolute best tip I received in my healthy hair journey was to wash and condition my hair in plaits.
As a fine natural, I also usually do larger cornrows/canerows...this helps a lot for sure! Also, I'm totally with you about wearing wigs for natural hair growth. This has really helped me grow and maintain my longer fine natural hair.
Please do your research on proteins, they are not created equal,, I picked the wrong protein treatment, I had to big chop my hair 😡, back to square one 😝
Finally, I can say I have a hair twin. I find regular washing has thickened my hair. I feel I am now at a growth plateau (been natural for 3 years) but I am on medication so not sure if this is also a factor. Fellow Brit too !!!
Girl me too, I’ve literally cut my hair off a ton of times because it’s so fine ... i know you don’t like thick oils but JBCO has been my holy grail definitely helped retain length and only co washing with caster oil only wash with shampoo once a month
was looking for this comment. i have super fine hair and was amazed at how JBCO has helped my hair flourish. I do hot oil treatments with JBOC and olive oil and let me tell you!! my breakage is finally minimal
When you say co-wash only with JBCO what do you mean? Are you doing a hot oil treatment then water rinse only or is there a conditioner in this process?
Hey can you give me some advice on how to take care of my hair when in weave hairstyles to prevent hair loss last time I got knotless braids I experienced hair loss I'm not sure if it was because of the shampoo I used
My fine HP medium density hair breaks off if the wind just changes direction! I've looked at wigs for P/S but again, any tension from wig caps/wigs will damage my super fine hairline, so it's just twists for me once a week - That, my hair loves. I C/W with As I Am JCBO Line.
@@diamondpurdie8871u are beautiful and wonderful made. You’ll feel this way when u compare yourself to others. Everyone’s journey in life is not the same. Focus on yourself 💕
Recently noticed, other than end breakage due to lack of moisture (that's whatever, that's easy to correct), I have dermatitis which made me scratch excessively and break my hair at the roots. Get your scalp right y'all, see a doctor ✅
Amazing how easily you can cane row your own hair, I'm in awe! Fine hair/medium density here, nice to see more content from fine haired naturals. Three things I have been consistent with for the last five months are wearing a silk bonnet for bed, taking MSM supplement with vitamin C and plenty of water, and I now use Rhassoul clay instead of shampoo. What I notice is that my hair feels clean but not entirely stripped, I no longer see a bunch of tiny pieces of broken hair in the tub that I used to, my hair feels stronger. Thank you for the helpful video!
I love your tips! They're all solid and bang on when it comes to best practices for fine natural hair. I've never used the Ouai products before. I may have to give it a try.
@@Patrice_D okay, thank you! I really want to try passion twists as a protective style but I know it probably would break my hair off/snatch my edges 😔
Okay so I hear a lot about finger detangling fine natural hair, but like 😂🙈 I have a LOT of hair and it's fine textured, my wash day is already a 9 to 5 without finger detangling. I don't see many TH-camrs with high density fine hair, usually just low density fine hair
I have a lot of hair, high density , but finer strands, so I understand, can’t finger detangle this much hair lol, but defo a brush works better than a wide tooth comb
I have tried to finger detangle and it doesn’t work. The tangles and knots are too small for my fingers. My hair breaks and comes out so easy if i do twist or braid my hair with just leave in and oil it still comes out. I gave up and jusr wear wigs but I miss being able to wear my hair.
SUGGESTION: Make Love to Your Hair. Sounds weird but that's how I learned how to Finger Detangle. I Closed my Eyes & just let my finger lead. I added leave in conditioner to detangle. Lightly let your finger separate each strand--- LITERALLY. I promise you - knots will disappear. Slightly open your fingers to SEE your strands. Gently slide apart the knots and you will be shocked that you sometimes turn a Knot into no hair loss. Just go slow. Then one day you will look up & your hair is trained. I learned from this wonderful Queen @ the gym. I thought she was exaggerating... baby girl... IT WORKS. Look at my hair - I did a big chop & fell in Love with my hair. There will always be things to work on - strange thing is I get lots of compliments but still see "things" to fix. Enjoy the journey my Queen. Be patient & gentle with yourself AND your hair.
Thin hair is determined by the density of all the hair strands, fine hair is determined by the diameter of the individual hair strand. It's possible to have thin, fine hair or medium density fine hair. Hair being fine has nothing to do with hair texture.
Yeah when I filmed this vid I used them as the same thing! Sorry! I have thin hair (low density) and I also have fine hair (my hair strands are fine). Hope this clears it up x
I have been natural since 2015. I washed and deep conditioned my hair weekly for 3 years. I now may go bi-weekly every now and then but never longer than that.
@@ogochukwuritaibik1024 people usually say thin hair to mean the density of the overall hair, while fine hair is about the circumference of your hair shaft.
@@ogochukwuritaibik1024 you can have fine strands but have a lot of them (so you could still have 'thick hair' (high density). I have fine strands as well as low density so my hair is thin with fine strands. Hope that helps x

I heard henna changes the texture
Oooo I’ll have to try this, thank you x
@@BlessedVivi I've been using henna for years. It did change my texture...
@@missloukDid it change for the better or worse?
@@msylvini my hair was stronger. I really had the impression that it was a little bit thicker too.

My hair used to be like this thin until I started massaging with castor oil 5 mins every day. It’s so much thicker! Please try it you’ll be amazed
I've noticed that using protein has been a game changer for my fine natural hair. It truly does make a difference.
I’m scared of using protein but I can try giving it a go 😣
@@drowningcrown2293 Try bit by bit. I would recommend leaving the hard proteins for the professionals!
could you please tell me what protein? @fine natural hair rocks

I just came across your channel and oh my God I have found someone who has my hair. Thank you so much for your tips👏🏾
You’re welcome! x
Oh wow! This is the first time I came across one of your videos! I'm sooo here for your thoughts on fine natural hair and breakage.
The comments are tea. Thank you all for your suggestions!
Knotless braids are great. Less tension on the scalp.
Hey can you give me some advice on how to take care of my hair when in weave hairstyles to prevent hair loss last time I got knotless braids I experienced hair loss I'm not sure if it was because of the shampoo I used
Knotless braids still cause tension because of the weight of the braiding hair. Be careful ya’ll.
@meelahmiyagi I agree. I am no longer wearing knotless braids because it seems like they always shredded my ends

Same I feel so ugly tho like I’m subject to the wigs and I’m allergic to hair glue so it’s never laid how I want it

I have this exact problem!! Did anything your doctor give you help?
Please try to keep as much heat off of your hair, try twists, and keep them in for a week or so?
Thank you for all the information I'm from the thin hair people also so keep up the good work love what you doing
Only have one critique. Fine hair isn’t the same as thin hair. You can’t use the words interchangeably because they mean 2 different things.
Thanks for your comment. I have both fine and thin hair but yes I agree the two aren’t the same
I noticed that too but let it slide because it appears her hair is both fine AND thin, very similar to mine.

Ooooh I’m gonna look into the Clay! Thank you for sharing x
"Canerows " love your accent .
😆 thanks!
As an American I concur 👍🏾
Another tip is to not braid the hair to the end. Twist it, with a product & seal it 😊
This really helped thank you. You deserve more likes💓
Thank you hun 😘
Thank you, great tips.
You’re welcome 😊
I love your tips! They're all solid and bang on when it comes to best practices for fine natural hair. I've never used the Ouai products before. I may have to give it a try.
What protective hairstyles do you recommend?
Glue-less wigs, twists and braids on your own hair, buns! Anything that won’t pull your hair too tight x
@@Patrice_D okay, thank you! I really want to try passion twists as a protective style but I know it probably would break my hair off/snatch my edges 😔
@@thedestroyer9024 They should be ok as long as they're not too tight! x
🥰Thank You So Very Much💞#Useful🌷
You’re welcome 😉
I have ur same hair (well really close lol) just subscribed and also trying to figure out how often fortnightly is 🤔😭
Hey girl! 👋🏾❤️
Fortnightly = every two weeks
Good tips 👍🏾👍🏾
I literally cut my hair off last week because of years of crotches and breakage! 🥺 #startingover.
It will all be worth it in the end! 🙌🏾😘

Who got x to wash their hair every week,, I don't. Can't believe u wash ur hair every weey😮😢
I know it’s long! 🤣 But my hair loves it! Currently washing x 2 a week to see if it makes a difference 😆
I have been natural since 2015. I washed and deep conditioned my hair weekly for 3 years. I now may go bi-weekly every now and then but never longer than that.
You might be a type 3 hair
She has fine type 4 hair.
I definitely do not 🤣
