Trichologist here! I’m so happy to see that the girls are starting to look at things from a scientific point of view instead of just going by “passed down” generational hair care practices that the older generation taught us. Your hair looks beautiful my dear and you are right on track! Looking forward to watching your journey
Hi there your hair is awesome. A health tip, when you crave sugar it’s normally due to the body needing more protein.I don’t crave sugar anymore.I was a sugar addict for years.Started reading about health and nutrition.This was in many of the books I read. protein curbs sugar craving!
Thank you for your tip on craving sugar I didn’t know that I need more protein. Because I’m a sugar junkie so I’m going to be more conscious of my protein intake. Thank you 😊
@@ariannakele the family nutrition book by William sears and Martha Sears.rebuild bones by Mira Carlton,rich food poor food by William Davis.train like a body builder by Erin stern.I be read about fifteen books on the subject of rebuilding the body so this is just a start.
I'm working on reducing my sugar intake too! My biggest weakness is chocolate😕I haven't had a soda in years and I hardly drink juice. I'm a water and tea girlie, but chocolate?? A whole other story lol
My routine is simple and I keep my hair in twists 95% of the time. I wash every 10 days and I use a sulfate/clarifying shampoo every wash for the 1st wash and a moisturizing shampoo for the second. I condition and deep condition every wash, too. I don't detangle until it's time to retwist because I wash and condition with my twists in. That's kept my breakage and shedding down to a minimum. I moisturize on wash day and that's it. I'm in my bonnet/satin lined beanie about 95% of the time because I'm just home puttering around the house most days. There's no reason for it to be out. And that keeps my hands out of it which helps too. I take vitamins and supplements as well. Since I'm getting my vitamin D levels back to normal I see the difference in my hair! It's crazy how one vitamin being low can affect everything else in and on your body! But I only trim when needed instead of on a schedule like I've seen so many people say/suggest. My stylist said there's no need for a trim if you're not worried about having even ends when they're healthy and not split. My routine has made split ends rare for me so I don't trim much. I don't mind my hair not being in a perfect line when straight as long as my ends are healthy and not split. But it's still pretty good as far as it all being even in length, from my last trim. Sweet and simple has really been the focus for my hair growth journey and it's really been working well for me so I'm sticking to it. ❤❤❤
- I’ve done a lot of the same things to my hair that you mentioned in this video for years and my hair thrives as well. In November 2022 I cut my mid back length hair into a shoulder length bob. By November 2023 my hair was back to mid length and my stylist was shook to say the least. I am a firm believer in weekly hair washing, a steady routine and using great products for hair growth. Great video, Tiana! 🤎🤎
Once I started trimming my hair every 3 months, my hair has grown a lot! Deep conditioning weekly WITH heat, washing my hair weekly, trimming only when it’s needed, & keeping my ends moisturized has helped me tremendously. Also only refreshing once rather than on wash day
You got right into it, no BS. thank you. Other girls just show off their long, long hair and never talk about "how" to get long hair. 'moisturizing' and 'hydrating" are two different things. you can 'moisturize' the outside cortex of the hair shaft, and you "hydrate" the inner layers of the hair shaft. Two different methods.
Also I would recommend dry detangling with oil. That’ll help reduce the breakage you receive because like you said, your hair is weaker when wet because those hydrogen bonds are broken
I have PCOS as well! One thing I switched out for other juices/sodas is Ollipop! It’s so good, usually has less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and had lots of probiotics in it!!
Unless your products are mega slip dont detangle during shampoo, detangle before shampoo or during conditioner. Just because it works for her doesnt mean its good to do in generally so get to know your own hair personally then take these tips and asjust them.❤
Tiana, your hair growth journey is inspiring! Thanks for sharing your tips and experiences. I appreciate your honesty about the ups and downs. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more updates.
I’ve been thinking about my sugar intake too! And I have dandruff as well and realized last year my scalp is dehydrated. Gonna up my water intake and try the Pattern Beauty Scalp Serum. Great video!
What's your natural hair curl pattern? It looks beautiful and congrats on 9 years! That's dedication. I just completed a full year and a few months after being relaxed my whole life and struggling to maintain my natural hair.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Kambucha is a very good drink, I drink it a lot and tumeric, I drink tumeric tea I use the powder and add a little bit of black pepper in it with some honey 🍯 Voila
Very nice video Tiana 🥰💙.. yes your hair has grown and looks beautiful! .. I haven’t had soda in years 😊, but chewy sweet tarts and chocolate be having me in a chokehold 😂smh.. can’t wait to see your length check 🥰… Happy Holidays to you and your family 🥰
I have a ton of shedding/ breakage when I try to detangle during wash Fingers, tangle brush nothing seems to help It’s so discouraging because my hair is getting very thin I also have PCOS 🙏🏽
I used to have really bad acne in HS dude to drinking soda everyday. I became an athlete so my guardians took me off soda and I was ONLY allowed to drink water. When I did that my skin cleared up tremendously and my nails always been long, but they were stronger when I stopped drinking soda. I’m in my late 30’s now and my skin has actually gotten clearer since I’ve gotten older.
Hi✨, thanks for sharing your tips 💐. Personnally, i use to drink apple cider vinegar with water and honey daily. I can appreciate the change on my skin, nails and hair but especially in my system. It's an organic and unpasteurized vinegar. 🚨 I would like to warn that I do this knowingly with the right measures (never in excess) and that is a personal experience 😊.
Yassss, I told my Sister that I use the Felicia Leatherwood brush and it works, so I’m not buying that unbrush! Every year there’s a new brush they push for the natural hair community, not going to keep buying every single popular tool they claim to work and it may not work for me. Been there done that! It’s important to stick to what works for u 💯.
but i def do think that i can be rough on my ends, i'll try to detangle when im not as tired or not so much on a strict routine; also using a brush instead of a comb may help me. and really moisturizing my ends. ive learned so much abt my hair this year, now im going to apply it more. (and hopefully do my own protective styles) :) thank you🖤
@@92spice18 thank u bestie, i appreciate it. i actually jus bought a new detangler JUST yesterday😭 of all natural ingredients, u can try it out too! @ominira naturals. i tried african pride months ago and i liked it, actually
@@dm2906 to detangle, I add 2 to 3 drops of conditioner in my water bottle. I spray small sections in my hair , finger detangle first. Then with comb until entire head is done. Very minimal shedding. Hair is so soft and now ready to wash.

would you recommend weekly wash days?
@ennvee1989 depends on YOUR scalp.
Fast build up? - Better wash it at least weekly

Have you tried switching to pure cocoa powder? You could make your own hot chocolate and control the added sugar
Same 😭😭😭
Chocolate is good for you, I wouldn't give that up. Just not too much ❤
Don’t even get me started on chocolate 😩 it’s too good to give up lol
Try dark chocolate. 80% or higher

Thanks for the reminder, let me put my hair up in wrap, cause I’m a SAHM wearing mini twists now to grow my hair and there’s no reason for it be out.
That is truly an impressive length Retention.

Do you have a specific style you wear? Or do you just wear your hair out
@@MilkyWay-vr7ku I wear a wash & go the majority of the time besides when I straighten it
What do you use to keep your hair ends moisturized??
You got right into it, no BS. thank you. Other girls just show off their long, long hair and never talk about "how" to get long hair.

Poppi taste a lot better
@@TianaMichelle_try poppi it taste a lot better I get mine from target. Strawberry lemonade is my favorite.

Tiana, your hair growth journey is inspiring! Thanks for sharing your tips and experiences. I appreciate your honesty about the ups and downs. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more updates.
My main thing that keep my hair growing long is protective styles and making sure my hair is never dry. When my hair is dry is break so bad.
I’m so glad you made this video I’m two inches away from my length goal which is waist length but it feels like it’s taking forever lol 😂💗
I’ve been thinking about my sugar intake too! And I have dandruff as well and realized last year my scalp is dehydrated. Gonna up my water intake and try the Pattern Beauty Scalp Serum. Great video!
You're hair is so pretty 💙🖤🤍
Video haven’t starting and I’m eating chocolate…which is my weakness, and reading these comments 🤦🏽♀️
Beautiful hair 💕💕
Thank you ❤
Wonderful presentation! Your information is really helpful, thank you. Subscribed! 💖
So beautiful lady!!! I find as hair gets longer you seek simplicity with wash days so we can gain our time back.
What's your natural hair curl pattern? It looks beautiful and congrats on 9 years! That's dedication. I just completed a full year and a few months after being relaxed my whole life and struggling to maintain my natural hair.

I have a ton of shedding/ breakage when I try to detangle during wash
Fingers, tangle brush nothing seems to help
It’s so discouraging because my hair is getting very thin
I also have PCOS 🙏🏽
Please do a video trying out different bridal hair styles?! im struggling
You should do a video on the step by step you do

Hey Tiana

You kinda resemble Skai Jackson to me

SAME w the simple process
Your diet plays a big part.I noticed once I changed my diet my hair and nails are growing fast.
My hair dresser always says what you put in your body reflects in your hair.. she would always tell me to eat fruits and vegetables
Do you use a gel and a leave in? Or just the gel?
Can someone tell me how to get to the list of produts she sometimes uses? I cannot locate the "cards". I am a novice at this stuff
It’s in the description box ❤️click the “more” tab under the video title
Hey dear are you waist length?
Not quite, I’d say its mid back length
@@TianaMichelle_ thanks for letting me know. Im bsl now and i was wondering after 9 months what my length would have been. Your hair is beautiful
@@Exoticbarbie. what do you mean by bsl?
Heyy 👋🏽
Heyy !👋🏾
❤❤❤
❤💕
how often do you wash you hair?
She said once a week.
😍😍😍
That brush is trash! It pulls my hair out. A paddle brush helps way better

I need these videos. I love my natural hair and this world is a sad place to pay attention to sometimes. Happy growing 🪴 💗 sis💗 grow
Hey, your hair is long enough!
🥲 im so scared to detangle my hair when i shampoo, i'd love to try it tho shdhsjjd

Try the African pride pre-shampoo. It works wonders for detangling. It’s not a leave in so make sure you wash it out.
