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❤
Same!!!! A girl in my class hair is alwasysssss in medium twists and it's 4c type hair and it's almost tailbone length also her hair is never down ...I've been in the same class with her for 4 years and I've never her seen her in another style....I know how long it is bc I've stretched one of her twists before...i was shocked !!!!!!
@@renaewilliams3618 Yes! Its like they know something we don't lol something about always keeping it in braids and twist i never seen her wear it out till grad😭 Currently so far I've been pretty consistent with cornrows and twist.. for 2021 I'm planning on keeping my natural hair in cornrows and renewing the braids every 3 months💕
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.
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
Brown skin girls getting their hair care in order! No one can EVER say we can't grow our hair anymore....we're proving all of 'em wrong! Have been for a long time!
when our African ancestors were taken from their homes and put onto slave ships, they were forced to shaves heir heads bald. white people were jealous of the health of our hair, and they hate the fact that we are going back to where we started.
Kat Natural I do that too, after a disastrous haircut in July, I’ve been braiding, taking them down to was and moisturize before putting them back in braids. Sometime I’m over the braids..but I can’t deny it’s working
Nicole Hackett I leave them alone for at least a month and then I start taking down the back, where I’ll then wash and deep condition before putting them back in the next day. I’ll then do the same to the front of my hair the next day. I I oil my scalp while it’s in the braids once a week or more if it’s gets drier, I don’t wash in the braids but I do get the top of my hair wet.
@@nicolehackett8919 I do this and I wash my hair once or twice a week. After washing I still apply leave in conditioner, focusing on the roots and portions that get frizzy. I also bind my ends. This is a great, simple, and cheap technique and I recommend it
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.
You need a serious trim that’s why your hair is trying to dread up it’s the dead ends and shedding hair getting caught , I had the same problem until I trimmed my dead hair
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.

Just a unpopular Girl I hope you’re doing well and are ok, please never forget how precious you are to Jesus and how much He loves you, talk to Him, He loves to hear your voice ❤️
GIRL this is so true! I truely started to retain length when I started just cornrowing my hair for 4-6 weeks at a time and I’d just be rocking clueless closure wigs. My hair growth even surprised my mom! Leaving them alone is soooooo important because my hair breaks too easily
So happy to see your post! I do clueless closure wigs to feed my NEED for variety & to help protect my hair. I noticed growth but thought it was wishful thinking. Lol!
Same. I decided to go 3 months in cornrows with Wigs this time. I low key miss it and want to play in it now but I’m trying to stick to leaving it be. It grows the best that way and very fast
i appreciate these tips for protective styling with your own hair because i'm a black american hijabi and a lot of girlies in the natural hair community like to use braiding hair for their protective styling or wigs which are beautiful but muslim women are not allowed to add faux hair into our hair, so knowing how to protect our hair without the use of faux hair is SO important! i'm starting a new hair journey routine where i keep my hair in twists most of the time, regularly moisturizing and sealing (and protein + deep conditioning as needed), and trimming split and damaged ends accordingly 💕
I wear wigs and sew ins and leave my hair alone in braids and oil my scalp. I do this for many months and only straighten once or twice a year and my hair is the longest it’s ever been since I was younger. Growing my hair out has been a test of my patience but it’s exciting and fun to see my growth after a month of my hair resting
Cut my hair just below my ears in January 2019 and now my hair when stretched is in the middle of my back. I wore my hair in twists the entire year too. Had no idea I was partaking in a challenge lol just wanted something cute and simple. Try it. It works!
Funny because I’m a 4 c girl and have been challenging myself to wear twist for a year straight. So far it’s been 6 months and have seen almost 3 inches of growth!!! Goal is to get to mid back length as waist length 4c hair would be too much for me lol. Another goal is too only use all natural diy hair products. Currently trying recipes now.
Ikr?? I see so many young people that just wear weaves EVERY day and if they just took the time and patience to take care of their own hair, it would be down their backs like this lady's hair.
My cousin does the same thing (keeps her hair in twists) and her hair is past her tailbone. Very healthy, ultra thick, and beautiful!! Love chazzizawsome!! Great video!
@@9melissal I started at right above my shoulders with a mini big chop. I just did a trim every 3 months but dusted my ends once a month. Also started deep conditioning with heat it makes a huge difference if you have low porosity hair like me.
@@Black_Tsunadehow long do you think it would take to get to waist length with your routine if a person was to start from bra strap length? Like 2 years?
I'm really enjoying this new wave a low maintenance approach to natural hair. It makes me feel more confident about growing hair without having a 20 step wash day routine, 5 monthly treatments and 100 products.
I’ll think my hair isn’t growing, then I leave it alone for a month and BOOM! Growth. Or actually LENGTH RETENTION. Hair is always growing. My hair retains length when I leave it alone. Stop playing in it, don’t manipulate it everyday, slow down on gel/edge control.
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? BTW: You look alot like my youngest daughter. She's 30 and as BEAUTIFUL as you💖
Jacqueline S you're very welcome! I admire your strength, love for life, perseverance, endurance. I know a lot of survivors. So I know how hard the journey is by the many stories shared with me. I've been inspired to fight because of you all. My SHEROES!❤️🤩
@@a_beautiful_mess428 😘 Your probably young...or already know this but please remember to get your Mammograms. Do your self checks also. It really does save lives! 🙏🏼💗💖💯👋🏽
I agree protective styling,patience and moisture. I started wearing 2 strand twists exclusively about...3 years ago. I honestly didn't realize how much my hair had broken off until about 6 months in I looked at my progress pics. That's when a new journey began. Now I have a routine down and have a better understanding of growing my hair and retaining that length.
Protective style (twist, Felicia braids) for a year -Not manipulating hair Moisturizing while in twist -Shea stay moisture on length -Castor oil, sweets almond, olive oil on scalp
Wow sis, this is exactly what I'm doing at this time, I'm on a hair grow challenge with twist, but I switch mine up, one week I'll do flat twist and leave them up for two weeks, I'll do mini twist three weeks, that way I won't get bored, the mini twist will stay up for three weeks if I'm not tired of them, and the flat twist will stay up for two weeks if there not looking bad I have seen great length doing this!!
All of this is so true! I've predominantly worn twists for about 2 years. Super easy to maintain and stays moisturized for much longer than any other style! People ask why my hair is always twisted or why I never wear it out. It's easy and retains length. 💁🏾♀️
Amen girl I did the same exact thing rocked my twists and will just unravel the twist for a basic twist out didn’t separate them. For a whole two years, and it grew tailbone. I also found I got a lot of single knots on the ends. But what helped me was hair butter and oil on the ends. I wear my twists with confidence lol! Thank you for this video I feel you!
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. 4c hair is like a beautiful, beautiful woman who gets off on & flourishes if you have patience, touch her gently and LEAVE HER ALONE for a while, then return with love.
What a lovely description of our 4c hair. But how do you do this? Do you wash, moisturize and Then do the twists or do you leave in, moisturize and then twist? Thanks for replying.
@@lvncsr6166 Hi. I wash, condition{I use dr. miracle often- leave in for 20 min. I have my hairdresser do the twists -bc she's does a perfect job - then a leave-in conditioner & under the dryer -LOW setting for @ 30 min.(optional) & I put a hat on to go home. The twists stay in 5 - 10 days. I take the twists out -GENTLY with my fingers - NO COMB EVER! And smooth coconut oil on my twists. Pushing upward and outward. Rock unique earrings* Your hair will fall in love with you & grow so so fast bc no comb, no heat - just pure love and acceptance. About 3x a week I give her a gentle massage and very, very light tug. Have fun! P.S. There shd. only be two pair of hands in your hair -don't let anyone & everyone touch your hair. NEVER speak negative about your hair. And drink lots of water! Oh folic acid is great, as well as green vegetables. Once per season I will blow dry my hair & I also like this style, also you can really check your growth. xo
I love your hair I feel so good seeing beautiful young ladies living their natural hair and rocking it and don’t care about fake beauty. You look great loving your natural beauty
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.
I love box braids and its my staple protective style and i love them. I wanted to do full year of boxbraids each month. I get new growth within the first week or 2 of my style and i love being able to see the progress. I feel no need to switch it up or keep trends. Yes leave it alone let it be and it will grow. Moisture!!!
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 true! I had my hair braided a lot and my hair was thick and my mom was good at blow drying (better than I am). So I had BIG hair. Full. It’s partly bc I got my genes from my mom but also the braiding… now after a BAD haircut for a senior picture it’s not as thick as it once was…. I’m doing twists to get back to a better length 😢
When I did the big chop I didn't know what to do with my hair at all, so I did research. I was so insecure wearing it out so short (twa) so literally for the first year and a half I wore ONLY headscarves/headwraps with a silk satin scarf protecting my hair under those, then kept moisturizing my hair underneath it all. Once it got long enough to twist I started doing that and have been doing it ever since. Retained much length. Less is definitely more for our hair!
Wow, ur hair length in twists look like locs. I would kill to get mine growing that long and I'd wear twists and twist outs all the time and wear loc styles like fishnet or whatever etc. Hair Goals!
It sucks but i gotta do that too. Ugh i hate everything. I wish it can just grow without having to be i. Protective styles. My hair is so delicate and it angers me. The only time i saw major hair growth in years was when my mom cut my hair and i thought i was ugly so i hid it for months and months. Then i actually wanted to see my hair and found out it grew all back lol.
@@stanfatou2002 I hate it too. What's the point of having my hair if I'm just going to tuck it away all the time. I'm trying a make an efficient routine where I can have my hair out as I like and still retain as much length as possible. If white girls can do it. I'm sure I can too
@@irrelevance3859 maybe your hair needs a protective barrier. Some people found that with rice water, henna, fenugreek, or other natural ingredients. Keep in mind some add strength to the hair and don't overdo it.
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.
The moment you said your hair loves to tangle you had me STORY OF MY FREAKING LIFE I'd gone natural and my hair grew then I just got tired coz natural products are expensive and I'm lazy tbh! 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.
I keep my hair in twists. I shampoo once a week then deep condition. Then I use a leave in conditioner. I detangle with a wide tooth comb. Use my twisting cream and then apply my oil and twist them back up until the next week. I mist my hair daily with Aloe Vera Juice and take my multivitamin and sleep with my satin bonnet. And I only dust my ends when really needed. My hair is really thriving.
Since covid lockdown my style is twist and I don't care how short or ship wrecked they look they are staying that way so glad I saw this vid. Your hair is my hair goals😍
I'm growing out my hair with twists as well! I was tired of seeing my hair in a bad condition, breaking off so I decided to grow it out. It was about collar bone length in April and now it's either bra strap length or an inch above? I got obsessed with looking at long type 4 natural hair TH-cam videos and stuff. Hopefully when my hair is at my target length, I'll calm down. 🤣🤦🏾♀️ And yeah, it's pretty boring wearing twists all the time but it'll be worth it for me later on, I guess.
Yes girl, so many of us have been there lol You're right though, it feels good to set a goal and accomplish it. I'm really happy to hear you're making progress as well! Promise you'll be glad you wore those boring twists lol
@@Kallah_DaughterOfYAHUAH It's going good. I haven't really measured my hair recently but it should be past bra strap length by now. I'm gonna continue doing it until the end of the year maybe even early 2021.
The trick to length is "undisturbed"!! You are spreading knowledge 👏👏👏 because I lived across the street from a boy who hair started growing like weeds because he kept it in twists. He let his locked up tho! Beautiful you. Beautiful hair btw 🥰🥰
I can’t use braiding hair either. I’m glad I ran into your channel. I have been searching for someone that uses just their natural hair and no weave or extensions but also wear protective styles. Thank you for this! I just started wearing mini box braids with MY hair, and I’ve already noticed a difference in two weeks.
I keep telling them ♦️MOISTURE ♦️protective styles ♦️let it grow My hair is bra strips length once I started taking care of my hair and be patient my hair grew every hair grows you can’t force it to grow how you want to I’ve been growing my hair for 4 years natural
fedlyn meunier as long is not tight rubber-bands did not work for me they small and tight they pull all my hair it curls in the rubber band do the knotless ones they better 🤗wishing you blessings on your hair
Throughout the fall and winter I've been trying to do as many protective styles as possible. But seeing your hair and hearing you talk, I definitely think I'm going to try keeping it in protective styles at least until the summer. It's the beginning of a new year, so I can even easily keep track of the days. Thanks sis 🤙🏾
I like to look “Cute” lol leaving my natural hair in twist for more than a week issa no no for me. But my hair is long in the middle of my back. I mainly wear my giant Afro daily.
some people’s hair is more resilient due to genetics. some people’s hair cant handle being out everyday due to thinness/fragility, different things worj for different heads. that being said im like you lol, love my fro, and my hair thrives either way.
I too have heard and read that hair grows at 1/4 of an inch a month however that would mean you get 1 inch every 4 months which in 12 months (1 year) would only get 3 inches a year.... 1inch every 4 months 12 months divided by 4 = 3 inches per year SOOOO... if you want 15 inches it would take you 5 years....don't get discouraged your well moisturized, babied hair will grow much faster than 3 inches per year.
I just started using peppermint again i mean my hair is already long but i want it longer i didnt have anything to do in this quarantine so i decided to grow my hair out longer.
I got this tip from a friend I knew who had really short hair monthss back, and then suddenly had a full head later on. I decided to enforce this, despite what people were saying-putting my hair in cornrows and twists, and moisturising it as required. I kept my hair in cornrows for a month(November) and I saw finally, that my hair grew to a happy length. Hoping to achieve more. All these comments are refreshing and I'm so diving into this, full time!! So excited 😃!
I love it what you said about how your hair detangles easily and them loving each other, mine does the same when out! You're right, the updo style for taking out your twists was cute. Also, protective styling, moisture and patience will help grow Afro hair, especially where it's kinky, coily and prone to breakage or matting.
I never used added hair. The fear of rashes and monitoring my growth is why. Health improvement has definitely helped me grow my hair faster than before.😊
Kamuvari Somses if their unraveling make sure their not too big of sections (especially with your hair length) and when you’re twisting them that your locking them into place!❤️
I was JUST about to say it but HEAVEN I think covered it. I tried twisting for years but it would always unravel so I just used twists to undo the next morning. 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. Anyways, thanks for this vid lovely! I just followed you on Instagram!
@@BijinMCMXC I hope that's the case because I plan on putting braids in my hair to grow out a low fade. I had to cut my hair looooooooow due to excessive damage.
Coco T yep. The reason the braiding hair sucks the moisture out of your hair is because the hair isn’t moisturized so it’s absorbing the moisture from your hair.
That twist out looked great! I really hope you wore it that way for a day and then deep conditioned and washed it so you could enjoy how pretty that style looked.
Love this girl she's so vibzy plus i get everything she's saying very detailed and she's so right you have to be patient with your hair . You got yourself 1 more subscriber
Sis you said something very profound. I have just learned that my hair dont like braiding hair either. It makes extremely dry. My hair was already shedding and dry. This last time was bad. I started twisting my own hair now. Its short like just below ear length but im keeping them in no matter what.
I'm happy you came to realize! Yea, sometimes these are things we don't even realize are effecting our hair/scalp. Sending love on your hair journey! ❤️
Love your hair and these tips! My hair grew the most and was the longest I'd ever seen it when I did mini braids with my own hair and left them like that for over a year. 💯🖤
She’s definitely on to something..... if you look At women who we consider have amazing hair... you’ll notice most of them are consistent at not always messing with their hair- regardless of ethnicity- les is always more.
I finally found my hair twin!! My only problem with twists is that my hair is soooo fine. I wear protective styles a lot. Idk what I’m doing wrong in between. I think it might be a scalp issue 🥴
When i keep it braided up without messing with it just spraying hair growth spray it works! Just stop bothering ur hair keep it in protective hair style and keep it braided! Buy some oil for the hair and some hair growth sprays it works for me i keep it moisturized water and growth sprays worked for me
I’m feeling it - this is exactly what I’ve been doing since the beginning of this year.. I’m now trying to find a way to better detangle in between take down and retwist.. so I won’t lose much hair 👌🏽 Great video
Such a revelation! Braiding hair seems to dry my hair out as well. Granted I usually keep my braids in way too long.... But when I take them out it's a different kind of dry..
I love to watch videos how others use unique ways to retain length as well as health🥰❤️ I agree ☝🏾 a with the twist so many ppl judge twist like it’s not a style with out weave added 🙄
A lot of people don’t mention being healthy, taking care of your body internally helps your flourish. You can keep your head in braids for 12 years straight and it still may not be as long, there’s a combination of everything and your health is one of the MAIN factors for long hair. No one apparently ever takes biotin, it is a great vitamin to include in your hair journey, if is anything biotin speeds up the process by 80%.
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.

Surprise them with the inches! lol Happy to hear it worked for you as well
Same here. My hair is thriving just cornrowing my hair
So happy to see your post! I do clueless closure wigs to feed my NEED for variety & to help protect my hair. I noticed growth but thought it was wishful thinking. Lol!
Did you wash your hair during that period?
Same. I decided to go 3 months in cornrows with Wigs this time. I low key miss it and want to play in it now but I’m trying to stick to leaving it be. It grows the best that way and very fast
i appreciate these tips for protective styling with your own hair because i'm a black american hijabi and a lot of girlies in the natural hair community like to use braiding hair for their protective styling or wigs which are beautiful but muslim women are not allowed to add faux hair into our hair, so knowing how to protect our hair without the use of faux hair is SO important! i'm starting a new hair journey routine where i keep my hair in twists most of the time, regularly moisturizing and sealing (and protein + deep conditioning as needed), and trimming split and damaged ends accordingly 💕
@Nikita I know Muslim women who uses fake hair with their real hair. It depends person
You can use Brazilian wool to make braids and twists a lot of Senegalese and Gambian Muslim women do that to imitate box braids still looks beautiful
im a lazy natural so ill do two braids and leave my hair alone until wash day
Same girl, done that for years and my hair is long. No one wants to believe that leaving your hair alone works tho
How often you wash your hair ?
Yes...that is me 🙄 & I’m naturally salt & pepper, BTW
here for the response
She looks exactly like “Chime” aka “Hair Crush” ❤️❤️❤️

If my hair was this length....the world wouldn’t know what’s hitting it
🤣same sis
My hair is that length

Ari'sWorld how can I
I not cutting my hair I want it to grow longer I am in midddle school
I wear wigs and sew ins and leave my hair alone in braids and oil my scalp. I do this for many months and only straighten once or twice a year and my hair is the longest it’s ever been since I was younger. Growing my hair out has been a test of my patience but it’s exciting and fun to see my growth after a month of my hair resting
How long of a break do you take in between your protective styles?
I will definitely try this
Brandnamedbecca how many months do you leave your protective styles in at a time?
Cut my hair just below my ears in January 2019 and now my hair when stretched is in the middle of my back. I wore my hair in twists the entire year too. Had no idea I was partaking in a challenge lol just wanted something cute and simple. Try it. It works!
One word, WOW!!!
Funny because I’m a 4 c girl and have been challenging myself to wear twist for a year straight. So far it’s been 6 months and have seen almost 3 inches of growth!!! Goal is to get to mid back length as waist length 4c hair would be too much for me lol. Another goal is too only use all natural diy hair products. Currently trying recipes now.
did your hair loc up?
@@adeola1919 absolutely not I would wash and re twist my hair ever week before retwisting I would finger detangle.

the pep talk is reaaaalllll. It sucks that sometimes we dont feel confident in our own hair and end up doing things that destroy it!❤
Ikr?? I see so many young people that just wear weaves EVERY day and if they just took the time and patience to take care of their own hair, it would be down their backs like this lady's hair.
My cousin does the same thing (keeps her hair in twists) and her hair is past her tailbone. Very healthy, ultra thick, and beautiful!!
Love chazzizawsome!! Great video!
This exactly what I did for the past 4-5 years it works! My hair is waist length now ☺️
It took 4-5 years to waist? What length were you starting at? Were you cutting it along the way?
@@9melissal I started at right above my shoulders with a mini big chop. I just did a trim every 3 months but dusted my ends once a month. Also started deep conditioning with heat it makes a huge difference if you have low porosity hair like me.
@@Black_Tsunadehow long do you think it would take to get to waist length with your routine if a person was to start from bra strap length? Like 2 years?
@@PlusVK22 I would give it a year to a year and a half depending on how fast your hair grows. My hair grows slow so it took me a year and a half
I'm really enjoying this new wave a low maintenance approach to natural hair. It makes me feel more confident about growing hair without having a 20 step wash day routine, 5 monthly treatments and 100 products.
I’ll think my hair isn’t growing, then I leave it alone for a month and BOOM! Growth.
Or actually LENGTH RETENTION. Hair is always growing. My hair retains length when I leave it alone. Stop playing in it, don’t manipulate it everyday, slow down on gel/edge control.
Your personality! 😍
Cute and funny
I'm wearing twist since 2 years. IT'S WORTH IT.
Thank you and I'm glad you witnessed the benefits!!
That’s awesome 👏

When my hair is this length ain't nobody gonna know what hit 'em when I slide through.😌💯💕🌱
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?
BTW: You look alot like my youngest daughter. She's 30 and as BEAUTIFUL as you💖

Jacqueline S actually I'm going to be 50 next year. I'm ashamed to say I've never gotten a mammogram.. but I promise I will!🥰😍
I agree protective styling,patience and moisture. I started wearing 2 strand twists exclusively about...3 years ago. I honestly didn't realize how much my hair had broken off until about 6 months in I looked at my progress pics. That's when a new journey began. Now I have a routine down and have a better understanding of growing my hair and retaining that length.
I went thru the same thing. I left my twists in and massaged oils and took vitamins. My hair grew like grass 2 months after I CUT my hair.
Protective style (twist, Felicia braids) for a year
-Not manipulating hair
Moisturizing while in twist
-Shea stay moisture on length
-Castor oil, sweets almond, olive oil on scalp
Wow sis, this is exactly what I'm doing at this time, I'm on a hair grow challenge with twist, but I switch mine up, one week I'll do flat twist and leave them up for two weeks, I'll do mini twist three weeks, that way I won't get bored, the mini twist will stay up for three weeks if I'm not tired of them, and the flat twist will stay up for two weeks if there not looking bad I have seen great length doing this!!
And I'm glad you have seen progress!! Love that you switch it up as well. Keep up the great work girl lol
Facts! I’ve been doing this technique for the past year and they length retention has been marvelous.
All of this is so true! I've predominantly worn twists for about 2 years. Super easy to maintain and stays moisturized for much longer than any other style! People ask why my hair is always twisted or why I never wear it out. It's easy and retains length. 💁🏾♀️
Amen girl I did the same exact thing rocked my twists and will just unravel the twist for a basic twist out didn’t separate them. For a whole two years, and it grew tailbone. I also found I got a lot of single knots on the ends. But what helped me was hair butter and oil on the ends. I wear my twists with confidence lol! Thank you for this video I feel you!
So you’d take the twists out 4a twist out Then retwist a few days later with the same parts?!..
Twists look horrible on me lol. I keep my hair in cornrows under wigs
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.
4c hair is like a beautiful, beautiful woman who gets off on & flourishes if you have patience, touch her gently and LEAVE HER ALONE for a while, then return with love.
What a lovely description of our 4c hair. But how do you do this? Do you wash, moisturize and Then do the twists or do you leave in, moisturize and then twist? Thanks for replying.
@@lvncsr6166 Hi. I wash, condition{I use dr. miracle often- leave in for 20 min. I have my hairdresser do the twists -bc she's does a perfect job - then a leave-in conditioner & under the dryer -LOW setting for @ 30 min.(optional) & I put a hat on to go home. The twists stay in 5 - 10 days. I take the twists out -GENTLY with my fingers - NO COMB EVER! And smooth coconut oil on my twists. Pushing upward and outward. Rock unique earrings* Your hair will fall in love with you & grow so so fast bc no comb, no heat - just pure love and acceptance. About 3x a week I give her a gentle massage and very, very light tug. Have fun! P.S. There shd. only be two pair of hands in your hair -don't let anyone & everyone touch your hair. NEVER speak negative about your hair. And drink lots of water!
Oh folic acid is great, as well as green vegetables.
Once per season I will blow dry my hair & I also like this style, also you can really check your growth. xo
This really helped me because I’ve been natural 5 years and mines hasn’t grown past bra strap length

Hey girl. I was natural for 5 years as well, but it didn’t start growing up until last year. Mini twists and moisturizing every night.
I love your hair I feel so good seeing beautiful young ladies living their natural hair and rocking it and don’t care about fake beauty. You look great loving your natural beauty
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.
I love box braids and its my staple protective style and i love them. I wanted to do full year of boxbraids each month. I get new growth within the first week or 2 of my style and i love being able to see the progress. I feel no need to switch it up or keep trends. Yes leave it alone let it be and it will grow. Moisture!!!
I literally just did the big chop and I’m so excited for this new natural hair journey... can’t wait until I can rock twists and cornrows again😂
Oh’So Moza good luck 🤗
Yay!! It's going to grow so long
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.
Wow that was very informative
Makes sense.
This is so true! I had my hair braided a lot and my hair was thick and my mom was good at blow drying (better than I am). So I had BIG hair. Full. It’s partly bc I got my genes from my mom but also the braiding… now after a BAD haircut for a senior picture it’s not as thick as it once was…. I’m doing twists to get back to a better length 😢
When I did the big chop I didn't know what to do with my hair at all, so I did research. I was so insecure wearing it out so short (twa) so literally for the first year and a half I wore ONLY headscarves/headwraps with a silk satin scarf protecting my hair under those, then kept moisturizing my hair underneath it all. Once it got long enough to twist I started doing that and have been doing it ever since. Retained much length. Less is definitely more for our hair!
Wow, ur hair length in twists look like locs. I would kill to get mine growing that long and I'd wear twists and twist outs all the time and wear loc styles like fishnet or whatever etc. Hair Goals!
Im in twists everyday or braids. Ill wear my hair out maybe once a month if its a special occasion
It sucks but i gotta do that too. Ugh i hate everything. I wish it can just grow without having to be i. Protective styles. My hair is so delicate and it angers me. The only time i saw major hair growth in years was when my mom cut my hair and i thought i was ugly so i hid it for months and months. Then i actually wanted to see my hair and found out it grew all back lol.
@@stanfatou2002 I hate it too. What's the point of having my hair if I'm just going to tuck it away all the time. I'm trying a make an efficient routine where I can have my hair out as I like and still retain as much length as possible. If white girls can do it. I'm sure I can too
@@irrelevance3859 maybe your hair needs a protective barrier. Some people found that with rice water, henna, fenugreek, or other natural ingredients. Keep in mind some add strength to the hair and don't overdo it.
@@chalseywilder937 I see a lot of people mentioning fenugreek I'll definitely look into it.
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.
The moment you said your hair loves to tangle you had me
STORY OF MY FREAKING LIFE
I'd gone natural and my hair grew then I just got tired coz natural products are expensive and I'm lazy tbh!
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.
I keep my hair in twists. I shampoo once a week then deep condition. Then I use a leave in conditioner. I detangle with a wide tooth comb. Use my twisting cream and then apply my oil and twist them back up until the next week. I mist my hair daily with Aloe Vera Juice and take my multivitamin and sleep with my satin bonnet. And I only dust my ends when really needed. My hair is really thriving.
Since covid lockdown my style is twist and I don't care how short or ship wrecked they look they are staying that way so glad I saw this vid. Your hair is my hair goals😍
I agree , low manipulation, protective styling is key. I keep my hair 99.9% of the time in crotchet-hair tucked away.
You favor Holly Robinson-Pete. Your hair is gorgeous.
Grrrrrl!! Your length is GORGEOUS! I clapped for you, ready to get my hair that long, on my journey now!!
Wow this is hair goals! I’ve started my natural hair journey properly and this is length GOALS . Thanks girl!❤️
Your personality is everything, thank you for the tips😊
Thank you! and my pleasure ❤️❤️🤗

I'm growing out my hair with twists as well! I was tired of seeing my hair in a bad condition, breaking off so I decided to grow it out. It was about collar bone length in April and now it's either bra strap length or an inch above? I got obsessed with looking at long type 4 natural hair TH-cam videos and stuff. Hopefully when my hair is at my target length, I'll calm down. 🤣🤦🏾♀️ And yeah, it's pretty boring wearing twists all the time but it'll be worth it for me later on, I guess.
Yes girl, so many of us have been there lol You're right though, it feels good to set a goal and accomplish it. I'm really happy to hear you're making progress as well! Promise you'll be glad you wore those boring twists lol
Grace Osas how did it turn out for you love??
@@Kallah_DaughterOfYAHUAH It's going good. I haven't really measured my hair recently but it should be past bra strap length by now. I'm gonna continue doing it until the end of the year maybe even early 2021.

@@naya4051 I'm not seeing much retention these days, unfortunately. I'm trying to grow my hair with wash and go's in 2021 now.
The trick to length is "undisturbed"!! You are spreading knowledge 👏👏👏 because I lived across the street from a boy who hair started growing like weeds because he kept it in twists. He let his locked up tho! Beautiful you. Beautiful hair btw 🥰🥰
Beautiful Hair 😍 And I agree leaving your hair alone will make it grow. I cornrow my hair most of the time and it is thriving!
Add MSM & Vitamin C to increase the length for faster growth
I can’t use braiding hair either. I’m glad I ran into your channel. I have been searching for someone that uses just their natural hair and no weave or extensions but also wear protective styles. Thank you for this! I just started wearing mini box braids with MY hair, and I’ve already noticed a difference in two weeks.
I keep getting these type of videos recommend to me TH-cam if you think I’m bald headed just say that 😭

♦️protective styles
♦️let it grow
My hair is bra strips length once I started taking care of my hair and be patient my hair grew every hair grows you can’t force it to grow how you want to I’ve been growing my hair for 4 years natural
Celsa Santos Mendonça does box braids count as protective styling
fedlyn meunier as long is not tight rubber-bands did not work for me they small and tight they pull all my hair it curls in the rubber band do the knotless ones they better 🤗wishing you blessings on your hair
Throughout the fall and winter I've been trying to do as many protective styles as possible. But seeing your hair and hearing you talk, I definitely think I'm going to try keeping it in protective styles at least until the summer. It's the beginning of a new year, so I can even easily keep track of the days. Thanks sis 🤙🏾
I like to look “Cute” lol leaving my natural hair in twist for more than a week issa no no for me. But my hair is long in the middle of my back. I mainly wear my giant Afro daily.
some people’s hair is more resilient due to genetics. some people’s hair cant handle being out everyday due to thinness/fragility, different things worj for different heads. that being said im like you lol, love my fro, and my hair thrives either way.
I too have heard and read that hair grows at 1/4 of an inch a month however that would mean you get 1 inch every 4 months which in 12 months (1 year) would only get 3 inches a year.... 1inch every 4 months 12 months divided by 4 = 3 inches per year SOOOO... if you want 15 inches it would take you 5 years....don't get discouraged your well moisturized, babied hair will grow much faster than 3 inches per year.
I love how genuine her personality is 😍😍💕💕🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I've been wearing twists for 14 months now. Seems to be the only way I can retain length. I wear them for 3 or 4 weeks at a time
That's how I where my hair now. Only twists. My hair loves it. Also, most of the products I use I mix from scratch
I just started using peppermint again i mean my hair is already long but i want it longer i didnt have anything to do in this quarantine so i decided to grow my hair out longer.
Omg....the point from about 13:00 on reminded me sooooo much of Longhairdontcare2011’s videos I used to watch in high school!

Sitting here watching your vid, with my freshly cornrolled hair😁 GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR ALL AROUND BEAUTY, AND CHANNEL GURL 🤸🏿♀️😘🙏
I got this tip from a friend I knew who had really short hair monthss back, and then suddenly had a full head later on.
I decided to enforce this, despite what people were saying-putting my hair in cornrows and twists, and moisturising it as required. I kept my hair in cornrows for a month(November) and I saw finally, that my hair grew to a happy length. Hoping to achieve more.
All these comments are refreshing and I'm so diving into this, full time!! So excited 😃!
I love it what you said about how your hair detangles easily and them loving each other, mine does the same when out! You're right, the updo style for taking out your twists was cute. Also, protective styling, moisture and patience will help grow Afro hair, especially where it's kinky, coily and prone to breakage or matting.
My hair grew with twists as well, that style helps me to leave them alone.
I never used added hair. The fear of rashes and monitoring my growth is why. Health improvement has definitely helped me grow my hair faster than before.😊
My hair is awkward length (not short but also not long) and unravels when I try putting in mini twists, so frustrating 😤
Kamuvari Somses if their unraveling make sure their not too big of sections (especially with your hair length) and when you’re twisting them that your locking them into place!❤️
@@mariahgriffin2663 Thank you so much I will definitely try that for tomorrow as it's my wash day. I believe that I was twisting them up thicker 🙆
definitely try braiding the roots and then twisting the rest of the way
@@leospicegirl thank you for sharing this with me 🤗 I'll definitely do that
I was JUST about to say it but HEAVEN I think covered it. I tried twisting for years but it would always unravel so I just used twists to undo the next morning.
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.
Anyways, thanks for this vid lovely! I just followed you on Instagram!
I thought I was the only one that had a problem wit braiding hair🙄
I feel like a lot more people have issues with it but don't realize lol Took me a while to realize it actually
All you have to do is moisturize the braiding hair. Makes a big difference.
@@BijinMCMXC I hope that's the case because I plan on putting braids in my hair to grow out a low fade. I had to cut my hair looooooooow due to excessive damage.
Coco T yep. The reason the braiding hair sucks the moisture out of your hair is because the hair isn’t moisturized so it’s absorbing the moisture from your hair.
I can't braid to save my life.
Thanks Girl, it was nice hanging out with you 😁
What a supportive QUEEN. We appreciate you!!!
That twist out looked great! I really hope you wore it that way for a day and then deep conditioned and washed it so you could enjoy how pretty that style looked.
Love this girl she's so vibzy plus i get everything she's saying very detailed and she's so right you have to be patient with your hair . You got yourself 1 more subscriber
Sis you said something very profound. I have just learned that my hair dont like braiding hair either. It makes extremely dry. My hair was already shedding and dry. This last time was bad. I started twisting my own hair now. Its short like just below ear length but im keeping them in no matter what.
I'm happy you came to realize! Yea, sometimes these are things we don't even realize are effecting our hair/scalp. Sending love on your hair journey! ❤️
Omg i love your personality lol I needed to hear this🤣
Thank you!!
Love your hair and these tips! My hair grew the most and was the longest I'd ever seen it when I did mini braids with my own hair and left them like that for over a year. 💯🖤
She’s definitely on to something..... if you look At women who we consider have amazing hair... you’ll notice most of them are consistent at not always messing with their hair- regardless of ethnicity- les is always more.
I'm not big on wigs and weaves so yes...twists have been a lifesaver when I want a break from doing my hair! I love your personality💜
I love the simplicity! Nothing is more discouraging than hearing 5286491037835012 things to do to grow your hair out 💀💀💀💀. New subbie!
A tip to prevent braiding hair from drying your hair out is to put oil on the braiding hair before you install
I finally found my hair twin!! My only problem with twists is that my hair is soooo fine. I wear protective styles a lot. Idk what I’m doing wrong in between. I think it might be a scalp issue 🥴
I LIVE in chunky twists it’s easy and don’t have to worry about them I love me some chazzisawsome 🥰her hair tips are out of this world.
When i keep it braided up without messing with it just spraying hair growth spray it works! Just stop bothering ur hair keep it in protective hair style and keep it braided! Buy some oil for the hair and some hair growth sprays it works for me i keep it moisturized water and growth sprays worked for me
I’m feeling it - this is exactly what I’ve been doing since the beginning of this year.. I’m now trying to find a way to better detangle in between take down and retwist.. so I won’t lose much hair 👌🏽 Great video
Such a revelation! Braiding hair seems to dry my hair out as well. Granted I usually keep my braids in way too long.... But when I take them out it's a different kind of dry..
I love to watch videos how others use unique ways to retain length as well as health🥰❤️ I agree ☝🏾 a with the twist so many ppl judge twist like it’s not a style with out weave added 🙄
A lot of people don’t mention being healthy, taking care of your body internally helps your flourish.
You can keep your head in braids for 12 years straight and it still may not be as long, there’s a combination of everything and your health is one of the MAIN factors for long hair.
No one apparently ever takes biotin, it is a great vitamin to include in your hair journey, if is anything biotin speeds up the process by 80%.
Girl I clicked on this video thinking you were chime 🤦🏽♀️😂.
Your eyes are beautiful! 😍
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.
Facts! I choose healthy hair over looking cute all the time. Twists are easy and cheap!
Show us the WIG! Just curious where you put all that hair. I've never worn a wig so I'm curious. Thx!
