I am not aganist weave or relaxer, but what if all of us rock our natural hair, it would be so kool since we are the only race that can have course hair. Omg!
yes that would be great 💃
that's what i say! if we embraced it, most people would envy us, rather than the reverse. i mean we are the ONLY people with pur kind of hair
Ruine Marie wow what a powerful statement! How beautiful and amazing that would be! 🤗
I would love this sooo much! We'd all be like an army of sensual kinky haired goddesses!
Ruine Marie Yes! We can make our hair look like any texture of hair, but No one can copy us!!!
*Cries!* i've never seen such full and healthy hair, and it grow so well! i'm doing my big chop next month, paying to the lord that my hair looks half as good as yours after 1/2 years post big chop :)
Aw thank you for your kind words!
You look like you can be a very fun friend. Any ways, great video. Your hair is beautiful
kkok96 Aww! That's really sweet! Thank you!
Naturally High no probem.
you had more length in your first year than I had in three years 😣
Are you using her hair growth regime? Method?
no I just discovered her. but def will...i'm starting to wonder about genetics and other factors cause my hair is still shoulder length and I do take care of it
u saw her update of using bentonite clay instead of shampoo right?
yeah! i'm starting that asap
if i don't start getting the wash-day detangling right my hair will never get past its current 6 inches 😣
MY hair grew past my shoulders, thick long and strong when I had a relaxer, before it started taking my hair out.
OK i will admit it....I obsess over this video EVERYDAY seriously. when ever I feel like relaxing my hair, I watch this video and I feel all motivated to continue going natural. all your pictures are beautiful but my favorite is the picture in 7:44. You show the real queen that you are and all other black women have stored somewhere in them. I'm from St.Lucia and want you to know that you are doing a great job on all women.
Aquila Gustave I agree 💯
I'll do a 'big chop' when my *regrowth* reaches waist length
How is your hair doing, Aquila? :)
MeMi Me Lol. I felt the same way but eventually section by section a different month I chopped. Hoping for beautiful results as well
Aquila Gustave
ma hair will be waist length this year
estee rebz YES IT WILL! :D
estee rebz how long is it now??
Have you achieved it?
@@KFSBonder I wanna know too.. How long is your hair now estee?
Amen👏🏼👏🏼
Your hair is amazing. Videos like these made me do my big chop this time last year. This is proof that Afro hair CAN grow long!! I hear too many people say 'our hair doesn't grow'. Love your video it was put together very well. Fellow Brit, West Mids, UK x
Thank you so much for this comment! Of COURSE your hair can grow long! Best of luck fellow Brit! :) x
You're welcome. I'm 1 year and 3 months natural now :-) x
Beautifull to see how your hair grows so fast and healthy, while your'e having fun enjoying your journey with friends and family:)
Thumbs up!!
Aw, thanks for the support. :)
I HAVE FINALLY FOUND MY HAIR TWIN!!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE???!!!!! OK, so let me firstly be generic and fangirling as heck, and get my craziness out of the way. I LOVE YOUR ACCENT!!!! *Typing in all caps with a straight face, but screaming inside* I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!!! You have just given me ALLLLLLL the motivation because as much as I have been hairspiration for other people, it is high time I find some hairspiration for myself and TAG YOU'RE IT!!!! I found myself (welp this is going to be longer than I expected) lazily not wanting to do my hair, but I know I need to because I have senior/graduation pics this weekend, but Nope. Just trying to find what style I want to do and the motivation to do it. Even pushed back some grad pics til Tuesday rather than tomorrow. I found your 25min detangling video, and boom I did my first 12mins!!! I really need to deep condition and I'm in no rush so I'm lying here in my shower cap for a little while just watching my hair twin's videos. I just want to say you have picked me up in a way unimaginable. I now know my hair can and will grow to a beautifully, healthy length. I never cared much about length because I'm all about healthy and full hair, but after seeing this video, I'M INSPIRED!!! I'm thinking in possibly two more years, I'll be where you are now. My last relaxer was in March of 2011, and I big chopped in April of 2012. So my 3 year nappyversary is coming soon!!! I wish TH-cam did emojis because they would be allllll over this comment. Lastly, I think you are so sweet and just from this video, I can tell you have such an amazing personality with all your goofy faces. I think I've written enough (English majors), guess I'll go actually write a paper that's due tomorrow. Oh btw, if you can't tell yet, I enjoyed the video!!!! Lol.
+Furaha Na Haki I have no idea what happened with this message but I'm only just seeing it! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so happy to have helped you so! :D How's your hair doing nowadays? What about your English degree? You'll be happy to know that your hair twin has lots of fresh content waiting for you on her channel! Check it out if you haven't already!
Peace and Love
I must've popped up in your memories or something because I thought maybe you just never saw my post lol. Especially with how wordy I was. I received my degree July 2015 and I am heading to law school in August 2016. My hair has been in protective styles for majority of 2016 and I can't wait to see it after I take down my crochet faux locs in about a week or so. I still struggle with being as patient as you are with my hair, but I know I will get there and PS keeps my hands out of my head. I've definitely checked out some of your newer content, but I'm not on as often. Thanks for the response!
Peace, Love, and Namaslay
@je'suis Elle I was dismissed after one semester so that's that, and I currently have locs since April 2019.
U R beautiful. I'm really glad to see a Blk woman with such a large group of friends of different nationalities and races. I almost forgotten that IS possible. So much hatred out here today. Your hair is absolutely lovely. God bless you. Its clear that you enjoy your life.
She had mainly white friends tbh not diverse at all.
+Ashley Crystal I moved from the Caribbean to Europe. :/
So glad to see another 4c goddess!!! Subscribed!!!
Hair goals, BTW
Thank you!!!!!!
your absolutely gorgeous, love your hair. Can't wait for mine to get like that :)
THANKS FOR SHARING!! YOUR HAVE BEEN NOT ONLY INSPIRING, BUT WHEN MY YOUNG DAUGHTER GETS HOME, I WILL BE SURE TO SHOW HER YOUR VEDIO! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! KEEP ROCKING YOUR BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL 4C HAIR!!!
You are so beautiful! Thank you for putting this video up! It was amazing to watch you hair flourish and grow. It's so thick and pretty!
Kosmo Khaos My pleasure.
Yay! A brit! That is some...no..a whole load of gorgeous hair. I hope I can get my hair as long as yours!
Love the way you embrace your natural hair! Great lesson to everyone that hasn’t yet! Thank you for sharing your happy journey!
You and your hair are beautiful. I love how you documented your journey all while traveling, having fun and living your life. Go get 'em, your personality really shines through.
Thanks for putting this video up, it's really inspiring. I dream of my hair being that long every day...hopefully by August 2017
Shenni Brown My pleasure. Maybe you should consider not using combs as much.
Naturally High I have 4b/4c hair and I feel like I have to comb my hair with tools. The last time I stopped using combs in my hair I ended up with locks and had to cut my hair off. That was not pretty.
Shenni Brown As your hair gets longer, it'll get easier to detangle and you won't need tools anymore. As for now (I'm guessing you're in an in-between stage), finger detangle first and then run a comb through to ensure all tangles are out.
Shenni Brown I am 3b/3c/4a/4b/4c (some type 1 strands too!) and found that the kinkier the hair, the more slip the products should have. That will allow you to finger detangle and resist using tools as little as possible. Don't give up on the journey. I am taking drastic measures to have waist length hair by the end of the year. You will get there.
taraivia carter Wow that's great!! Glad to hear another great success
LoL! I love this...at the beginning of your journey I thought I could never love how your hair looked at that short stage....and that love grew with every stage! Stunning.
You're very beautiful and I love your hair more-so because it resembles mine! Can't wait to get to that stage! Thanx for sharing!

+Sashana Saunders congrats on starting the journey!
Wow! My hair didn't grow nearly as long as yours and this is my first year. However, it was a pleasure watching a "real" 4C woman grow her hair. I love the video and I'm going to pass it on to my niece who started her freshmen year perhaps she will start here natural journey and be your length my the time she graduates.
OMG!!!!! You are truly an inspiration!!! I'm only in my 1st yr as a natural and sometimes I feel like giving up but your video gave me hope. Thanks for posting. Your hair is beautiful!
tayizm Thank yooooou! Elated to hear that! Just keep at it! You'll get there!
we had out big chop at the same time however I dont have length retention like you. I need more videos from you to learn.
Please make more videos. There aren't enough people on the Internet with this hair texture and it would be very motivating to see your hair journey
Frozen Mocha Thanks for this! I needed a nudge!
Bishop girl whoot whoot... amazing hair btw
Wow, You made me happy for you!! great job!! >.
Wow, I am in love with your hair!
Aw thank you!
Absolutely beautiful!

Such a beautiful girl. You should be very proud of your journey. Can you make a tutorial on how you did your loose twists?
Helena Jones Thank you Helena! I've already got one: th-cam.com/video/gGc_IuEXpOQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for putting this video up... your hair is beautiful!!!! I was going to get a perm because I am now 3 years post big chop and I don't have all that length. Can you post your routine? I don't know if you already did.....:)

You're beautiful. Great skin, great smile, great hair! Thanks for the video!
softbreezy Oh thank you!!!! xx
Naturally High Yeah i agree with softbreezy. I especially like how you are always smiling, you seem so pleasant.
Omg Its nice to actually see a journey of someone with Trini blood. You have no idea how much inspiration I got from this one video.

ShalayaOfficial it's on my to-do list!
Naturally High I look forward to seeing them :)
Very nice, and we'll put together indeed.
Your hair is amazing
So u have just over 4 years of growth? Cant wait for that beautiful length..beautiful hair!!
Well I relaxed my hair for the last time in August 2009 and I big chopped in April 2010. So it's just over 3 and a half years since my big chop and 4 and a half years since my last relaxer. Thank you! :D
This comment is so late but I LUV UR HAIR!! Its so long and beautiful. I wish my hair was as long as urs,so far my hair is a little bit pass my collar bone.
Yay Trinidad. Im Trinidadian.
Cerrone Samuel same here 🇹🇹
Beautiful hair! I'll have to search for later videos to see how long your hair is now! Just goes to show that patience really does pay off. My hair is not quite at waist length yet but I'm nearly at the bra strap. Thanks for sharing this. :)
naturalNstylish you're welcome! Thank you for your lovely comment. Best of luck on your journey.
You're Stunning!
Lindsey Daniels Aw thanks! x
Beautiful hair! I'm in loveeeee
Mmazipan Rammstein Thank yoooou!
Your so dominant powerful and your voice is so compelling
You have a very nice and friendly warm smile ☺.Had me laughing a couple times with your facial expressions too lol . I can tell you're a nut 😆. Btw great progress hoping to reach that length one day with patience and TLC ☺You have gorgeous hair keep up the good work 👍
Jocelyn Ra You're very intuitive... I'm totally bonkers! :D Is it that obvious? Thank you!
Naturally High yes I am very intuitive 😊. Most of the time I can read someone instantly whether through a pic or in person. Besides it takes one to know one lmao. I'm a total nut 😁. Everyone in my family is 😊😀. Even if you were to just give a regular smile w/o the real silly expressions I would still be able to pick it up lol 😀
Jocelyn Ra haha! Thanks for that! I really didn't think people would be able to pick up on it. I'll have to be more careful... ;)
yo go girl!!
Gorgeous!
so inspirational ! thank you
Jessica Jorge thrilled to hear that!
Yayy Asha! It's Presh! You're my hair hero! lol mwah
Love! How are you?!!
Awesome progress!
Thank you! I was inspired by people like Rustic Beauty and Kimmaytube who made amazing strides with their hair.
Thank you for this video! I made it to 2 years natural on Jan 10th of this year and now I'm in the awkward length phase. I have a long face so my hair length really doesn't suit me.. and on top of that, I have the thickest 4c hair I've ever seen (no exaggeration!). I literally have been stressing everyday about what to do with my hair. A lot of styles that other naturals with my hair length can do, I can't pull off because of the thickness of my hair. Even my mom who is usually very supportive and kind with her words said "if I had your hair I would relax it... Thank God for relaxers!". So I'm thankful for you video because your hair looks a lot like mine. Hopefully my twists will look like yours when my hair grows out a little bit more :)
Hello hair twin!
Glad to hear you're sticking to it! When I was at that stage I used to wear mini twists and french plait them. I'd moisturise my hair daily and seal with shea butter. Why not give that a go? I'm almost positive that that contributed to the results we can see today.
Naturally High I will try it! I have twists in right now, but they do need moisture. Time to research where to buy shea butter. Thank you.
i have the same problem but in reverse! My hair is on the thinner side and the crown is approx 1-1.5'' shorter than the rest of my hair but still growing. I cannot do certain styles because of it! Need a longer length before I even it up!
whygeorgia10 Any luck?
christine1962ful Oh wow! Maybe you could use shrinkage to your advantage to even things out...
Wow, very inspirational! Congratulations
Laurie Artis Happy to hear that! Thanks!
Gorgeous hair :)
Que maravilla la forma que te creció, creí que este cabello no crecía
AMAZING!
Awesome video😍
Thank you for the inspiration. ♥️
Kuukua Karikari you are most welcome!
You are so pretty!
oooh my gosh that hair is no joke. It's so long and beautiful... I don't think I could do it though. The amount of product you must buy for it must be insane...
KettiexD Awww thank you! I use lots of bottles of cheap conditioner (at least 1/month) but other than that, it's not too bad cost-wise.
