How long have I been Natural? All of my life, however, I started my hair growth journey in 2014 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
My hair thrived on hair grease and water only when I first went natural but one look at TH-cam videos about growing it long hair and I ditched it for high priced products and methods that take a month to complete 🙄 I am back to the basics and simplicity and my hair has never been better. i keep my hair in three styles only (twists, cornrows and mini braids) I shampoo and condition, deep condition and protein treatment when needed and trim when needed, my styles last 3-4 weeks. I also PRAY over my hair and keep God first, some people think it’s weird but God gave me my hair, so it makes sense to grow it for His Glory too and keep Him at the center of my desire to grow it long. Prayer, patience and a little hair grease. Lol I’m shoulder length moving towards armpit and my ultimate goal is waist length or longer so I can prove to people in my family that black hair CAN and DOES grow!
It’s wonderful to keep God first in all aspects of life and i understand how you feel when you tell people about how you pray over things and they look at you weirdly. But yeah, I wish you well on your spiritual journey with God!
Amen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@Princess Kee I'm "old school" and I got caught up in trying alot of things I've seen on TH-cam and nothing seem to work or change my hair. Luckily it didn't fall out but it didn't change in length either. But when I went back to just grease and water it started growing! So I've gone back to this because it always worked when I was younger and it still does now.
@@praiseakinkuehinmi3472 THANK YOU! To God be ALL the GLORY!!!
@@shelialogan2174 yes my hair never fell out but didn’t retain a lot of length either. Back to the way my mama used to do my hair lol and loving it
Quote of the day “ Anything good comes with time” 😌
‼️‼️‼️
Right!!
Facts
Honey it takes a billion years to make a diamond -- Hair is a crowning jewel - time and patience -- she has been growing ( really growing ) her hair for six years at apx 1/2 per month - 6 inches per year... you go figure .. these peope do not have miraculous hair they have extremely good paitence and care
& that's the chat, on period!
My hair is tailbone length. I've been natural all my life but could never grow it past mid back length at first. The only thing that ever ever everrrr has worked was leaving it the fuck alone. Braid that shit up, re-braid once every month/2 months or so, keep that up for about a year and boom, you'll see your hair grew like weeds.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Is ur pfp Lan Zhan? 😭😭 ♡
@@marsbarsinthestars3226 yesss my baby🤧
I am trying that for the rest of the year.....I am hoping to get to MBL.
This is so true. I love how you put it, no filter at all😂
Genetics play a major role in hair growth. Some hair textures grow faster and require little to no help. We just need to learn our hair.
I don't think that's true I think it's a myth me and my sister have the same type of hair she chooses to use relaxers and her hair doesn't grow I use natural products my hair grows
@@godsgirl7201 different hair routines affect hair growth. But yes...genetics play a role in the length of the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle
Genetics and age. Age is definitely a factor when it comes to retaining moisture for length retention and even sometimes manageability.
My sister and I have different hair. I have fine hair so my hair breaks easily. My sister’s hair isn’t fine so it actually grows more and is stronger.
Length retention is an important part of this discussion too. You can grow your hair but there's different practices for each hair type to retain their length. Everyone seems to talk about growth but never retention.
I understand what she’s talking about but did anyone notice that for the first 8-9 mins of her video she’s been finger detailing and massaging the products in her hair (that 1 section). Her hairs grows cause she takes the time to do such things and do her best to be consistent about it. That’s how u grow healthy long hair.
Yess that y I just txt in said it distracting I can’t watch the video no disrespect it just annoying so I stopped watching it sorry smh I’m like please enough 🤦🏾♀️
It’s was annoying to me
@@francinemaultsby4727 lol
She doesnt use comb so that's how she detangle, patience is important in hair journey, with that she is retaining length less to no breakage.... your hair growth is different from ensuring you retaining your old hair while new growth is coming
@@YPFarms My point exactly!
So my daughter heard me listening to you while she was doing her school work she said "mom why are you always washing my hair when the girl said leave it alone" she is only 5 yrs and super smart
Lmaoooo 😭 awhhh, that’s so cute!!
Wooooah send that one to law school, brilliant little one, God bless her!
@@ileanasantamaria2364 yes my love i already been saving for her university funds i soo excited. Thank God. She is super clever
🤣🤣🤣
@karfeisha LOL.... these kids are a mess!
Not related: Many of us know that Jesus died on the cross for sinners. But only knowing this fact is not enough. God wants us to sacrifice ourselves in order to live the way He wants us to, which means forsaking a sinful lifestyle.
Of he died for my sins why I gotta pray for him to forgive me for them
Goddess He died so that we have a path to be with him in heaven when we die. That ddidnt mean you can live any kind of way that is against his word (the Bible). He gave us wisdom and choice. Live right so you spend eternity in heaven and not an eternity in hell.💕
@@goddesskey7701 bc when we do things against his word, we hurt ourselves, others or him! He giver of life & everything else good!
Amen 🙏🏽
@@goddesskey7701 I hope you find the truth. Read your bible and get closer to God🥰✝️✝️✝️ only Jesus saves! (Romans 10:9-12) (John 3:16)
I honestly have no idea what happened with my hair, but once quarantined started my hair started growing like crazy. I think it’s bc I wasn’t stressing abt how I looked for school and I kept heat out of it, now my 4c hair is literally down to my chest and I think it’s because I’ve been leaving it alone and not straightening it. I have a lot of hope and I’m excited to see how much more it will grow. :)
Wow that's beautiful 😍 you're so hardworking
@@ahuralinna6184 thank you :)
Thank you your comment has been my deciding factor to not get a u part wig…
When school gets back to normal (or if it already has), do make sure you continue what you learnt, cos it's true, the trying to present a certain way has us doing the most to our hair.
I think the quarantine has showed many people that their hair grows if they leave it alone, cos I'm seeing many stories like this.
Yes lol you dis not have to comb it for work everyday..Also the stress of life can hinder hair growth you were relaxed during quarantine
I learning to just keep my hair deep conditioned and oil my scalp and pray my hair is growing!!!
You're doing a good job!
That's exactly what I do.
How’s your hair doing now?
Yep
Considering the kind of stuffs (onions, bell peppers, ginger, garlic to make oils)people recommend to be applied to natural hair for growth....I believe we are making sauces out of hairs instead of growth!
😂😂
💀😭😭😭
Onions contain sulfur which is good for hair growth, but so does sulfur-8
🤣🤣🤣
Onion really helps in hair growth. My hair is thin. But after much effort many people said to me my hair Is thick not thick but not as thin as before. Natural things work way better in my hair.
Hi name twin
The key is creating a regimen that works for YOU. Focus on the uniqueness of your hair and then create a routine that works around that. For me, my hair is quite fine so I focus more on minimizing manipulation and maximizing moisture retention. I did a lot of trial and error but honestly I think I’ve found it. My hair is the longest it’s ever been. I find it is good to also keep a hair journal in order to stay on track.
What did you do or what is your regimen of you don't mind me asking? TIA
This just goes to show “different strokes for different folks” ✨✨ just do your research and try stuff out 🤷🏽♀️ I have high porosity and just moisturizing with water don’t work either
‼️‼️‼️
I’m low porosity and moisturizing with water didn’t help me either. I need some oil and lightweight leave in conditioner to keep it moisturized!
Do you remember how long you kept these in after you did them?
Please how will u know the porosity of ur hair.
@@splendidtwinklestar9706 1. In a cup of warm water, place a few strands of clean hair and wait a few minutes. If it floats, you’re low porosity. If it sinks, you’re high porosity. If it floats for a while then begins to sink, you’re medium porosity.
2. Spray some water in your hair or saturate fully. If it beads up and you have visible droplets sitting on your hair, you’re low porosity. If your hair soaks it up fast, you’re high porosity.
Girl!!! I feel you 💯%. PERIOD. My hair is a couple of inches from waist length and I’ve been natural for almost four years now. LOW MAINTENANCE and learning your hair is it. That’s all it’s to it.
Y'all shes right cuz i was following all these other girls who didnt have my hair type and had low porosity hair and i never left my hair alone and thats why it wasnt growing
‼️‼️‼️
I'm washing my hair once a week, cause putting products in my require me to wash my hair. I don't go 2 weeks before washing my hair. You go outside and dust goes in your hair as well. It's done well for me, and my hair still grows.
I wouldn't keep putting products on dirty hair when I know that my hair needs to be washed
Yeah it's just basic hygiene.
Dirt and sebum makes my hair grow, it still smells nice and is past my shoulders. Only wash once a month 🌹
@@TheSolitary1🤮
I’m a type 4 natural that washes my hair every 1 to 2 weeks because my scalp will start to get mad and my hair will feel hella dry. That has gotten me past bsl and I don’t spend hours upon hours doing it. You’re right, everyone needs to do what’s best for their hair because nobody will understand what your hair needs better than you
Yes my s alp also go crazy after two weeks and I don't even put anything on my scalp
Same here..my scalp gets itchy after a week or 2 so I have to wash my hair
@@myzsunshyne8574 samee
I use Black Castor oil and just stuck to what makes your hair grow.
Protective styles really do work just leave it alone. Coconut oil has not worked for my hair but made it dry out more.
Black castor oil is the bomb
I use coconut oil to pre poo cuz its cheap, but it did dry my hair out b4 i started color treating my hair.
The coconut thing is so true, it kinda has the same effect as water
I think greasing every other night with protective styles help growth alot stylist say don't grease with ps ppl wonder why there hair isn't growing
I'm allergic to coconut oil but black castor oil is the bi-zomb 💣
I never comment on hair videos, but loved your insight, authenticity and comfort in your own skin. A great example of reminding/showing people how to think for themselves. Keep up the great work. From 🇨🇦
it took 5386875656 years for you to start that first twist lmao
😂😂😂 so true
😭😂😂😂Sooo true
LoL 🤣
I’m sorry 😭😭
Like... Isn't it too much handling... High maintenance for me
I'm going to be honest, I'm from India and I think the vast majority of these treatments-oil, rice water, egg, mayonnaise, etc, etc-come from India and China because people here tend to have long hair.
the truth is we're just hairy. we're really fucking hairy. I'm hairy everywhere, my legs look like the amazon. my hair has been long and thick my whole life (it's brushing the top of my thighs now) and I haven't done ANYTHING TO IT. I learnt how to style my waves but that's it. every Indian girl I know with nice hair leaves it the fuck alone. the ones who are obsessed with these treatments have scalp issues. people need to realise these eggs/homemade stuff dates back to a time where we couldn't afford shampoo and conditioner, and a lot of Indian people still can't. this isn't some magic secret, it's just genetics, and cultural practices that aren't any more effective than regular shampoos and conditioner and people who say they are are just trying to sell shit.
Lmaooo 😭 This made me laugh lol but I agreee! I definitely do think genetics and leaving the hair alone are bigger contributors to hair growth than all of these treatments
Thank you for this honesty love ❤️ VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
@@blkgrluninterrupted5582 it's okay! I see so many people get hoodwinked by Ancient Indian Ayurvedic Tricks and I feel so bad for them. save your coin dears and be happy you don't have to wax your legs every three days.
Girl I agree .....some of us is hairy. When I met my husband I had more hair on my chest than him.
@@maame6768 I'm sure she has, more than most Americans, and there are many, many treatments that have taken off in the natural hair community that Indian women have been using for centuries. And I've been around the world too and was born and have lived outside the US, before you come for me.
She said “who? Who? WHO 🦉 is washing their hair every week?!” 😭😂😭 idk why that cracked me up 😭😂
I’m high porosity & get build up easily so I’m one of the weekly washers. But my hair is still really short & that’ll probably change once i get more length. I totally agree with your other points 🤍
Lol
I am also high porosity too and wash my hair weekly too. It helps. When you can try twisting it up. See if your hair is okay for a week. If it’s not okay it may help to re twist it midweek.
@@kathleenharris8824 heyyy that’s almost identical to what i do. I put my hair in mini twists at the beginning of the month. I wash weekly & retwist any twists that look raggedy after that wash. I moisturize my twists throughout the week as needed. I’m definitely planning to hit shoulder length this year 🙌🏾
I wash when my hair starts to get that thick look. Thats when I know my new growth has begun to lock up. But now I'm back to weekly.
@@TheUptownBody I do something similar but with mini braids. I keep them in for about 2 months. I wash about every Sunday just because my hair likes routine and I work out ALOT so I need a clean scalp.
Your twists in the beginning are so juicy 😭😭 ok lemme watch now
😭 tyyyyy
I wash my hair once a week. I've tried less, following other youtubers and my hair hates it. I love your big twists and your minis came out great. Your hair is my goal!
Thank you!!! I’m happy you’ve been able find what works for you!!!
I wash my hair twice a week. First time with a moisturizing shampoo and the second time I co-wash. I deep condition and detangle both times and my hair is flourishing. I used to use coconut oil but I found out I’m allergic after getting hives on my back. Grape-seed oil does the trick for me and I use grease now too.
Truly everyone should do what works for them instead of making hair care a one size fits all community.
Love this video 👏🏽
Honestly, I believe as long as you’re using safe and healthy products for your hair, keeping it moisturized/balanced, and in protective styles, you are GOOD and it will grow!
Yes as kids we did a lot of protected hair styles and our hair grew as adults we change styles and manipulate a lot
But everything has chemicals in it
I love how gentle you are with your hair!.I'm the same with mine She is my baby lol
Indeed!!
I share your same philosophy on hair and it definitely works 🙌🏾 More length retention and less setbacks. I'm transitioning out of using hair combs and brushes too. My hair is much healthier without them. Thanks for sharing how water affects your hair. My hair oddly reacts the same so I'll look into that. Love your videos 😁💜
I know this is besides the point, but I couldn’t find where I commented on the last video. ANYWAYS: I did the 6 month protective style challenge that you did, only washing every 3 months and moisturizing every 2 weeks. Can I just say that my hair literally grew 3-4inches!! This is the fastest I’ve seen my hair grow. I started at about 12 inches in the back and sides, and 16 in the middle. Currently, after 6 months, my back is at 15 inches, my middle is at 19 inches, and the sides sides are 16 inches. THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Who knew just leaving your hair alone would help!
That's nice!!
Wish I can get the link to go back and watch
@ifabulocitygirl so she also talks about not using water to re moisturize. I found that using only leave in, cream, and oil has been wayyy more beneficial to my hair. I’ve noticed less breakage, and my hair literally is still moisturized when I go back in to re moisturize by the 3rd week! I keep my hair in braids as she suggested and put on a wig.
I just feel like your hair has always been growing, you just weren't retaining the length. The beauty of protective styling (whether with weave or your own hair) is you retain length and your hair won't experience much breakage.
@@nethaniapierre8149 yes my hair has always been growing, however I never was able to see the length retention due to it falling off. This method out of all protective styles has truly helped me see the most length retention
WHO is washing their hair every week? OKAY 💅🏽 Not me 🙅🏾♀️cause i ain't got time for that😂🙈
‼️‼️
My biggest lesson since I’ve returned natural and it has been what has helped me see results in both healthy hair and growth is...‘finding what works for me’.
After transitioning the routine that I saw the most growth and length retention from was during quarantine when I would use rice water at the beginning of the month , put my hair in braids and put wild growth oil on the roots and ends then leave it for 2 weeks. Just leaving your hair alone is definitely the best thing to do
You are one of the few influencers that are so genuine, thank you, because of your advice I have seen a big difference with my hair growth. Don't ever stop making these videos.
I'm sure if we drink a lot of water our hair will get some water lol, how are they gonna tell us to wash our hair more often but not use oils????? Our hair doesn't get a chance to get natural oils if we wash too often🤦🏾♀️
True!
Yes 👍🏾
lol yes I think they just want to sell products
Not true. I wash 2 times a week and it actually cured my dry scalp and transformed the moisture levels of my hair. It actually works. Most people saying it doesn't usually haven't even tried it.
@@cfoster6804 it's not about how many times u wash it's about the shampoo or products you use♥️
I really appreciated this video. You are honest, frank and you are definetely a "live and let live " person . Not just seeking reviews.
The smartest perspective I've heard thus far!!! I love your content and hair🥰
Finally, someone being real on hair growth.......thank you!
One of the most realistic video everrrr! I always told my aunty the same thing. She always asked me; “how comes your hair get less maintenance and growing and I use some much stuff and still don’t have that.” This is so true, I don’t put some much things in my hair. 👍
One thing that greatly improved my hair growth was switching from combs to finger detangling. It takes forever, but there’s a lot less breakage.
I use an afro comb to detangle after first finger detangling. Not one with metal teeth but a plastic one with wide gaps.
Thanks would try
@@katzwhite5962 We forget afro comes was designed for kinky hair it may be outdated but it works
Girl, I love seeing you do your hair. They’re my fav videos of yours!🙌🏾🙌🏾🤗 Thx for the content hun!xxx
Thank you so kindly for transparency! You’re so straight forward and I love your truths!
Ugh thank you for this. I love your videos so much they’ve really helped me take better care of my hair!
I wash my hair once a week 🥺 my scalp gets very itchy though if I don't + I go to the gym so my scalp sweats and it's needed. I enjoy the feeling of my hair being clean though
😭 omg !!
@@NaturalAcademia Whaaat 🥺😭 my moms always washed my hair once a week as a child and that's just become my routine now 🤣😭 plus it doesn't take that long to do
I wash my hair once a week also. My scalp will get annoyed with me if I don’t.
@@AfroTee this, my scalp gets so itchy if I don't
Yeah i cant go longer than 2 wks b4 my scalp needs to be cleaned.
EXCELLENT video!!! You hit the nail on the head when you said do what works for your own hair! And I totally agree about low manipulation. I used to wash my hair every week until I realized it just does not need to be washed every week, so now I wash every other week😊
In a nutshell.....DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!🤷🏾♀️
My daughter is 14 and she’s been natural all her life but I struggled trying to take care of it but last year I asked my cousin what can I do to her hair so she can wear her natural curls she told me hair grease and a little gel. She told me to twist her hair and that’s what I’ve been doing and her hair has grown so much. I hardly put any heat in it but hair grease saved her hair cause it’s the only thing that will moisturize her hair.
As for my hair I’m transitioning and all I do is grease my scalp. I can’t wait for it to grow so I can twist it. I do comb my hair every day because I don’t want my hair to be matted because I sweat in it everyday day. I’ve enjoyed learning about what works and what doesn’t.
This is how I grew my hair after postpartum shedding. Also instead of combing try finger detangling. The first few times may be hard but your hair will get use to it.
my mom is doing the exact same thing you are doing for her short hair. She lost most of hair too neglect, unprofessional braiders, and perming in the past, now me and sisters have finally encouraged her into doing it! Her hair went from about 2-3 inches long, to about 6 inches in about a few months. I believe this will work for you, just as it did to my mom.
@@keahharrison4765 yesss finger detangling is key
what grease did you use and is your hair low or high porosity
Drop dead gorgeous, beautiful hair, inanely insightful. I’m defiantly obsessed with you 😚. Also, I'm that weirdo who washes their hair once a week lol, works great for me but yes it's a lot! Be taking a fat nap afterwards😂!
Love the video. I myself started my hair journey back in 2009. I was watching youtube videos after youtube videos and trying damn near everything under the sun to try and grow my hair. I've spent so much money buying every product I would see the 'hair gurus' using, hoping and praying it would grow my hair. But nope. But after watching you, curlyproverbs and sherea, I have finally been able to create a hair regimen where I am FINALLY retaining hair growth. My hair regimen is much more simpler now. It took me 12 years to finally figure out what works best for ME. Now I am more confident than ever that I will finally reach my hair goals ☺️
You have found the style your hair is made for! Those twists look so good on you! 😍🔥🥰
A lot of people wash their hair weekly or more than that. I used to do it until I realized my hair actually prefers every 4 weeks.
me too lol!!!
Same here i just stopped the other day and I now wash every two weeks....but I'm going to try and aim for every three weeks.... my hair has been doing much better since I stopped washing It every week.... and I've gone back to my good ole blue magic hair grease ......my hair hates natural oils
Honestly I believe there is no set time, even for one person. I wash every 4 weeks in the winter. Once a week if I’m working out consistently. But regularly I did it every 2 weeks. The most important thing is to listen to your hair and scalp.
Yes, too much washing low porosity hair dries it out and story hair breaks easily. And 4c hair tangles like crazy especially at the root. Finger detangle first and then use a wide tooth comb.👌🏽
Me too!
I absolutely love how calm, relaxed, candid, authentic and honest your content is presented…that’s right sister gurl, keep it real😁 thank you!!!!
For real ☺️
Girl you're the real deal. I just subscribed because of how simple you presented your facts.
Thank you so much for your time and sharing!🙏🏽 You are right! It takes Time!🙌🏽 Keep doing what you do!🥰💋
I wash my hair once a week and it GREW! I was stuck at shoulder-length hair for all of my life before I decided to cowash and deep condition weekly. Now it is a little bit past my armpits and it took me about half a year to see a big difference. I try to keep my wash day and styles super simple and easy :) not sure if the growth is because I wash it often or if it's just because I make sure it's moisturized now? good luck yall
Fr??? I used to wash my hair every week but then depression kicked in and I stopped having the motivation to wash it weekly; I started washing it monthly. I started retaining so much length. My hair was at my neck but now it touches my back
I should try that, I was literally stuck in shorter than shoulder lenght hair for while bc i stopped taking care of it i started putting to much gel and straightining it to often, and it was super short and thin. But I got my big chop a few weeks ago and im trying to grow my hair really long
@@aperson7151 I understand the depression part yes. Ive decided to wash my hair every two weeks and use a cowash more often. What is your porosity and hair type , if i may ask? it might help me, i am low porosity with what i believe is "type 4a" hair.
@@lizacarelse5675 I’m high porosity with 4c hair
I started co washing my hair recently too and I noticed a big difference.
Your hair looks beautiful and healthy! Actually, I wash my hair once a week, but my hair is short. If I had long hair, I probably would not. I totally agree with leaving your hair alone (it will grow). My relaxed hair grew to a decent length because I ignored my hair pretty much. I'm in my 60's so my hair growth is slower, but because I'm lazy and don't bother it...it's doing OK. I can't complain. My hair loves water...gels not so much. Right now I wash (sometimes a conditioner), then leave in. I'm done (afro). I can't take anymore after this. Well, I loved your video! Take care...
After 1001 TH-cam natural hair videos, I think this is all I needed. This is it sissss❤️❤️
Girl I love your content. I pretty much almost always agree with everything you say. I agree with leaving your hair aloneeeee! That’s really the ultimate key.
Personally for me how I grew my hair from shoulder length to mid back was leaving it alone. I usually put my hair into some mini twist for about a month, sometimes even longer and my type 4 hair has grown tremendously.
I’m glad you uploaded ^^ Love watching you do your hair !!
Thank you for watching!! I really appreciate you for your support ❤️
I’m a once a week person and it is a job. Unfortunately my scalp itches and flakes so I can’t go longer than a week. I just put on a good Netflix movie and get to work lol. Love your commentary and I’m enjoying you doing your hair, you just taught me a new way to twist my hair.😊
I use to wash and condition my hair once a week like when I had a relaxer. However once my natural hair started to grow and got a little length I learned the error of my ways. You are 100% correct! You're real life hair goals! ❤
Omg, I absolutely love your candidness! You are the first youtuber that I have seen who does not try to push a certain product or trend. I have low porosity hair which repels water, so I have to deep condition every week (wash days) to keep moisture in my hair. Also, my scalp is prone to build up so washing every week with a clarifying shampoo has been working so far. It's easier to do this with shorter hair. Your hair is gorgeous! New subscriber!
When i was younger my parents used grease and water, and My hair was long before I started using chemicals. Inspired by those times I started making an all natural hair grease, and I have to say between that and low maintenance my hair has been growing so much. I am so excited! The point is you are absolutely correct. Thanks for the video.....
Can I ask what your all natural hair grease contains?
@@katzwhite5962 I want to know too
How yu get hair growth to buy
What is grease? What are the ingredients?
@@kalom6133 grease is really thick and not creamy. It’s like Vaseline
I just clicked on this video and I really love how real you are and how truthful you're being with the whole hair thing. I have 4c hair and tried everything I searched on youtube and my hair never grew pass my neck . I've used rice water , coffee , aloe Vera , and now I'm finally just using the olive oil with black castor oil.
You’re being so real! Thank you for this video 🙏💕
For washing and styling some people could use 3-5 products for the whole wash day, or some people could use 10 products in total. It all depends on your own her and what you think you need for your hair. For me I just shampoo and deep condition and then use the same TGIN cream she used to do twist and keep them in for weeks and do it all over again. The key thing to remember is that there is a lot of trial and error in the beginning to figure out what works best for you.
I agree 10000%%
Your length and hair health are my hair goals. Awesome video 🌼🌼💛💛🌼🌼
Thank you!!!
Girl, I love your hair. And thank you for just keeping it real! Everything you said , FACTS❤. You have a new fan here! Thank you QUEEN and stay beautiful.
I love how you caress your hair. It’s so comforting. I’m going to do this. I’m not doing the rice thingy! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Now that I’m wearing my hair out I will be washing my hair once a week. I have fine hair besides I work out like six days a week so I don’t want the salt from the sweat to break my hair out. Love your videos.
I totally agree - my hair has grown so much and is the healthiest it's ever been in my adulthood - and basically I dont manipulate it. I moisture significantly every day sometimes a few times a day depending on the weather and I wear a tension free low maintenance style every day. The same style everyday. My hair loves the slow peaceful life - and I respect what my hair wants.
can i ask what style you wear?
What do you moisturize with?
What style do you wear
Your videos are really inspiring. I’m a new TH-camrs and discovered some new ways to grow my hair in my kids hair and I truly hope one day I can hear some great testimony how I was able to help the community growing their hair healthier and longer. Thank you queen 👑
Thank you for these videos! You are so real and so honest and I love that! I haven’t gone natural but I use sooo many of your tips on how to care for my hair so thank you.
My scalp gets itchy really quickly so the longest I wait to wash my hair is 2-3 weeks but ideally I wash weekly
Funny enough, almost all of us want sucess in some kind of way ,but never want to go through the process to get there .
!!!!!!🙌🏾
Thanks for being genuine, and honest. Am also going natural and one day, I want my hair to look like yours. God bless you. I think this is just what I needed
This was the realest natural hair video I’ve seen. I’m glad I came across your video and your hair looks amazing 😍🤌🏽 Subscribed!! 💯
Your twists looked so good ❤️👄❤️
Thank you!!
Once I started using only natural products on my hair it started to grow. If I can’t pronounce to ingredients or have to use google it’s not going on my hair🤣 no store brought products unless it’s 100% oil. Castor oil makes my hair super soft. It’s amazing and I wash with black African soap. Most of the time that’s it and my hair is growing fast.
Yes don't use keratin too much or relaxers ♥️
Preach!!! And I WISH my twists looked as good as yours
Subscribed just because this got to be the realest video in the hair growth sphere.
The stylists are right according to wash and gos! You are also right with just grease and water! It doesn't have to be a fight within the natural hair community, just do what you want with how you style your hair
This was a much needed reminder thank you❤️ I’ve been natural for like 3 weeks and I’ve been through countless videos trying to understand the best way to go for my journey. I love your channel cause it’s very genuine, and I don’t feel like I’m watching an ad like most videos I’ve watched lol..you seem to know what your talking about. Imma stick with you but I was wondering how often you wash your hair? It’s like a widely known thing for naturals to wash their hair like twice a week but I always thought something was a bit off with that and I remember you commenting on it so
I am new here and I already love your attitude towards natural growth. I am also a natural grower, thank you for sharing!!🙋🏾♀️🎥👌🏾
This video was so therapeutic, true, chill and had a good vibe bruh I loved it 🥺
That is so true. Leave your hair alone and watch it flourish. I found that out a few years ago when I was relaxed and now it's even better natural.
Major facts, I was going to say the exact same thing!! Less is much more!
😂😂😂😂this applies to my face tooo
Interesting. I have been trying your method where you don’t wash your hair for three months, moisturize keep it in protective style and experienced the most growth. My scalp does get itchy but I use green beauty method of scratch and preen to mitigate the build of sebum on my scalp and bring it down to my hair shaft and do constant massages on my scalp. I personally never use any oils on my scalp as well just some water/aloe Vera to loosen the sebum to bring it further down. It’s been working for me!
Oooh, do you remember what this video was called?
Wow that's so real & to the point, you are so much help to many. Thank you for being real & down to earth about this hair song on social media, bless u & I had to subscribe
I completely agree! I did a lot of things I saw You-Tubers do when I first went natural. Some things helped but some things broke my hair off! It’s so true you have to learn what your hair thrives from, and be consistent with that. I had to sit back and think about it one day. If you focus on a moisture and strengthening balance, it all “grows” into place. Thanks for the real talk about growing healthy 4c hair. There is no miracle growth products. Just patience & TLC.❤️
I will keep using butters, I’m not following that trend
It's funny because they've been using shea butter in the motherland for centuries on their skins and hair and they never had any issues until the colonizers came 🤷🏾♀️
@@runsprints4life767 the climate in the motherland is far different than the climate in other countries though. It’s constantly over 100 degrees, hot, humid all year round. So they need the heavy butters to protect their hair from the sun. It’s kinda different for us here in the US (assuming you’re from the US)
@@echanelle05 It's not hot and humid all year round in the motherland. There are areas in Kenya which are on the higher slope, such as the mountains and hill side where it is very cold and. These are the areas where the Kenyan athletes trained the most. 'Do your research'.
@@Junature I’m from Tanzania and live here. I agree with what you’re saying. I live in a super hot region where it’s always 100+ degrees but then the region that I go to school in is so cold it even lightly snows. So it really depends what region you’re in.
I wash my type 4 hair once a week and I've been doing so for years. If 'life happens' I may stretch it to ten days but I've been pretty consistent. My hair washing routine is super simple : shampoo, conditioner then I put my hair in four plaits. I have a video on my channel.
Leaving my hair unwashed more than a week leads to hairline acne for me plus I love the feel of clean hair.
I’m currently doing that: washing regularly and keeping it simple. I’ll check out your video.
@@cutenobi thanks 😊
@@estherawe4317 mini twist are good protective styles that are easy to do
How do you determine your hair type. I have always wanted to know my hair type, I'm guessing it's 4c, but I have no real clue.
I've learned keeping it simple works best for my hair as well. Shampoo, condition, and moisturize.
This Queen was the most authentic woman I have ever seen . When it comes to natural hair. Usually I skip through the videos but this was had my attention.
Girl I love to see do your natural hair. It's so satisfying!
This is so true. I’ve been natural for 3years and every time someone asks me how I grew my hair I usually tell them I hardly do anything. Yeah I’ve tried the rice water and all that but the thing that helped the most was leaving it alone. I don’t force my curls apart I just part my hair where it parts naturally, I style it twice a week and only finger comb. Just leaving it to do it’s thing is what really grows it
Watching her calmly moisturize that one section made me realize if my hair could talk, it would yell at me lol #TimeIsKey
The realist natural hair vid I've come across. 🔥
you are very wise! ‘i am very skeptical of things happening too fast’
I wash my hair every 2 weeks. I used to do it weekly, but it already my wash days take me 6 hrs as is. Doing it weekly makes me feel like I basically live in the shower 😩. Good thing my wash and go’s last that long ☺️
Hmmm washing hair takes a lot of time ....so every too weeks for me once it's not itching
I completely agree... my hair didn’t really start growing until I stop bothering it. If you pay attention to the people who have long hair , they usually do Mimi twist, braids, wigs...
I love how you're gently with your hair and take care of your hair
I absolutely love this video! What works for one may not work for the next person. Thank you!
