      Girls need to learn how to keep their hands out of their hair. And to keep it simple. Not using 20 different products that they saw a TH-camr use with a different hair texture.

    I knew a girl that always had her hair in braids since she was a toddler.. I knew her well growing up also.. she was very dark skin than her complexion and had 4b hair.. like she always had them braided until hs graduation she let it out..her hair was crazy long about tailbone length when stretched..😭 Till this day she keeps them in braids.. notice how many waist length natural strictly keep their hair protected in braids and twists.. I will be doing this for the next 5-6 years😭😂 Wish me luck❤

      There are some beautiful short styles with twists. Is your hair trimmed and even without wispy ends? By the time you put on a little lippy and mascara, your look will lift. If you are not against it, you can lay your edges for a more 'polished' look. I'm trying to enjoy my hair at every stage. I know it's challenging but maybe if you start of with freshly cut ends and a nice shape you will see a massive difference and won't need to add hair. Just thought I would offer a perspective. Enjoy your hair journey and a Happy News Year

    I get a lot more shedding and knots when I wear my hair in twists. Didn’t put two and two together that twists are a great way to start dreads, so that’s what it felt like my hair was trying to do every 2-3 weeks. Braiding my hair without extensions keeps my hair stretched and moisturized.

      To avoid shedding and knots make sure you are detangling before twisting. I also blow stretch my hair prior to twisting. It frizzes less and last longer. I use the Laila Ali cold blast blow drying for minimum heat.

    Hi!🙋🏽‍♀️ I grew out my hair 4 years ago after Breast Cancer. I had many compliments from strangers about how BEAUTIFULmy hair was. I simply mini twisted 90% of the time and it got to Bra strap length. Recently I decided to get knotless braids to my butt because we went out of town for 3 weeks and I thought it would look cute and easy. I left them in for 6 weeks total. When I removed them...I feel my hair has become much thinner. My edges are ok ..just my hair appears much thinner...but I still have the length. I'm very disappointed.
    Any suggestions?

    Yup! Flat twist under a wig gives amazing growth (or under a hat) Moisturize with black castor oil combo. I have even used Burt Bees rosemary hand cream - bomb. Wash once a month.
    My hair grew crazy fast! After about 2-3 weeks I will twist out (no comb!) and moisturize with coconut oil and the curls are so hot - leave her for about 7-10 days then wash and twist again.

      Irrelevance I feel like doing low manipulation hairstyles are good too. That makes your hair grow & washing it when necessary. Rice water is good & doing protein treatments to prevent breakage. I have my hair in a braid out & all I do is put on a bonnet at night or in the shower to maintain it. Im going on my second week with this braid out. I stopped stretching my hair every night & it makes my hairstyles last longer. Also it avoids over manipulating my hair when it’s not in a protective style. I seen plenty of people grow their hair with just doing wash and gos. Protective styling is not mandatory to grow your hair long as it’s moisturized & healthy it will grow regardless.

    An African women that braids mine and my daughter's hair, told me that if you want thick hair braid it. She said if are looking for length you are supposed to twist it. She stated once your hair gets to the desired fullness from braiding it, it's time to switch over and start twisting it. She also said threading your hair makes it grow as well. She said in her country (Mali) they use it as a natural relaxer. And that over time your hair starts to just grow out straight.

    This is so great and 100% works! One thing I'd also add that someone taught me is that if you wear extension braids, moisturise your braids regularly in the same way you'd moisturise your hair because the braiding hair won't dry out your hair. This has really helped me retain length and prevent knots/breakage when I want to wear kinky twists/box braids/cornrows with extensions.

    Your length is inspiring though
    I blowdried my hair after a year and lost a quarter of it. As I write this, I'm sat with super dry dirty hair that hasn't been washed in like 5 months though I swam like 2 weeks ago so I guess that's a wash. But I haven't moisturised my hair in forever. I hate combing my hair as well. So when I do I lose a lot coz tangles, which is in the first place the reason I don't comb it. I was thinking of dreadlocks but I'm not sure that's what I want but I'm over it honestly. Might shave y'know. Urghhhhhh. It's not that deep but it is still.

      But a few months ago I tried braiding a piece for like 1/4 to half an inch then twist 80% of the way then when I get to the end I borrow from the sections to lock it on itself. They still look like full twists and they stay until you unravel them. Even after I put all my products in, and it gets all slippery, but because of my method it stays.

      Khephra please please share a break down 1,2,3 steps about the Cheer method. Do you leave it in after applying or wash it out. How often do you do it? What else? Thank you!!!

      Jo Anne Hall First, I section my hair into 6 sections. For each section:
      1. spray hair with water (I used bamboo tea) and leave in conditioner
      2. Apply chebe hair paste
      3. Coat the section with oil and braid or twist
      4. I coated the braid with Shea butter after (this is optional)
      5. Leave in for 3 days then unbraid the hair
      6. Repeat steps 1 - 3
      7. After 3 more days wash and repeat 1-7
      Unfortunately the only way for me to do this for 5 months was to wear African head wraps or a half Wig. My length check was 4 days ago and I retained 5 inches. I was collar bone length in August 2019 and now I’m past armpit length in December 2019.
      Additional info:
      *Chebe paste is messy but after applying it you can cover your hair with a wig cap.
      *you can google search “chebe hair paste “ to shop for it.
      *If the paste is too pricey you can use alternative herbs mixed with your favorite hair lotion or butter. Research the herb before you try it though. I tried chamomile tea, peppermint tea, oolong tea and fenugreek powder.
      *You can try this method without using chebe or herbs and you will probably still retain length.
      *this method is practiced by the women from Chad in Africa. Their hair is usually longer than waist length.
      I hope that this helps!

    Maybe I should put my hair in twist instead of plaits then? I haven't really been taking care of my hair last year cause I wasn't all motivated to doing it. Its a hassle to wash it cause it gets all tangled and trying to get the tangles out would probably just breaks my hair off. Its shorter in the back then the front of my hair and the only style I always wear it is in a ponytail. I want to wear it in a different style but I dont really know what is good for when I go out and Im sure my mom doesnt know how to fit it any other way.
    Everytime I see these kinds of videos it gives me a bit of hope and Im thinking my hair is actually growing, but Im not too sure if Im even using the right stuff for my hair now. Im starting to moisturize it more and Im not too sure if Im using too much or too little trying to get it through my hair. I also use hair grease for my scalp and this African Pride Olive Oil Moisturizer and thats about it. It all just so much to take in I dont really understand it and just want help from some one who actually knows about hair!

      Princess of Keys i have a tip for you : wash your hair in twists , it wont shrink /tangle up as much , it’s a life saver honestly. this tip helps me retain most of my length. i finger detangle lightly with an oil or a little water, twist up my hair and wash my hair in the shower under the shower stream. it also saves on the conditioner and it makes the shampoo reach the scalp easier, i keep the twists all throughout washday.
