I don't think anybody denies that Black women can grow long hair. I do believe more Black women would do it if they stopped ruining their hair with unncesarry unnatural styles and harsh products. Even a lot of what is considered "protective" ends up putting too much tension on the scalp and interferes with the natural growth process.
But some women can only grow their hair in protective styles that you put in quotes because their hair breaks from constantly taking it out an restyling so yes wigs and weaves can grow long hair because you don't have to rebraid or retwist or comb your hair for a month or two or however long you keep the braids in. We can't talk about women always wearing their natural hair without honest conversations about black American women especially being penalized at work and other places for not having perfect hair and showing up with fuzzy cornrows and twist can be detrimental to her finances and career.
@@thewordsmith5440I understand you. In general we need protective styles for length retention I personally don’t think we always have to wear our hair out , my hair thrives when I leave it in mini braids/twists and I wear wigs as well Constant manipulation isn’t good for a lot of us The video is just trying to say that we can grow long hair because for a long time we believed we couldn’t Thanks for your comment
Genetics plays a role in whose hair breaks off easily I notice a lot of people who have dense, thick strands are making videos as if everywhere has these same type of strands. Fine kinky hair breaks religiously for no reason. Genetics plays a role in how well your hair can thrive and how much more you have to do to keep hair on your head.
I agree with this but I also urge people to see a trichologist I’ve got naturally fine strands but after trichology I’ve been able to retain more length
I agree that we shouldn’t treat our hair like other types of hair Everyone’s hair has different characteristics that affect hair growth But I’ve seen many women who had hair struggles and even medical issues and when they took the time to improve their health, learn their hair,embrace it as well as adopting good hair care practices their hair grew Including women with slow hair growth rates and anaemia This is not meant to judge anybody but rather encourage Thanks for your comment
I have fine, low density, 4A/4B natural hair from BIRTH and I'm about to hit mid back length. I'm not struggling anymore with my hair once I learned to be super gentle with my hair type to stop the breakage and I learned what works for me. I literally treat my hair like a bouquet of flowers or a small baby lol If the fine hair naturalistas are struggling to have healthy, length retaining hair then it's not because their hair is fine, it's simply because they just don't know what they're doing. That's what it all boils down to. I am not mixed race, I am a bi-ethnic (Ghanian father, African American mother) dark skinned black woman.

There are still people that believe otherwise

Growth and retention are two different things. I agree but just remember the difference
I have fine, low density, 4A/4B natural hair from BIRTH and I'm about to hit mid back length. I'm not struggling anymore with my hair once I learned to be super gentle with my hair type to stop the breakage and I learned what works for me.

It does when good diet and hormones aren’t off balance
Most hair loss is internal
