Thank you
Goals: less breakage, work on getting back my edges and trying to thicken a bit. My hair is a mess. Lol
Thanks for being honest
How's it going so far??
Guuurrrl same. What are you doing
I agree with iron and taking vitamin C helps to enhance absorption, my hair improved within a week.
Great tips! I completely agree about genetics and hair growth!!!! More people need to accept this and stop beating themselves up because their hair isn't like their favorite influencer.
Definitely!
You are spot on with the iron comment. It also impacts the quality of the hair growing. Same with vitamin d.
Ahhh vitamin D! I didn't know that. Thank you!
Another one of my Goals is healthy eating and drinking LOTS OF WATER. I eat a lot of kale because of its fibre and iron and also I try to drink 1-2 litres of water a day
Thank you for saying that. Protective Styling isn’t always protective if there is no real hair care as a foundation.
Goals: less breakage, being patient with my hair, stop buying all these products, & to get my first real trim ever sometime this year
My hair goal is to try to use my protective styles and stay out my hair as much as possible. I haven’t been so interested in my hair as much as I was in the beginning of my natural hair journey in June 2019. I want to regain my momentum again.
YEP GENETICS PLAYS A BIG PART!! Period!!🥰
Not the biggest part though
@@2Gether4Ever4Life You can’t tell them anything. They are brainwashed. They rather accept genetics, a concept that no one thinks about when they are looking for the best methods and products for the hair. I never thought about genetics and my hair grew because I focused on methods for hair retention.
My hair goal for this year maybe controversial but .....my goal is for it to be braided all year....with of course the 2 week breaks in between appointments.
If that's what YOU want to do then I see no controversy in it boo! As long as you're taking the necessary breaks..sounds like a good idea to me! :)
@@JaiMarii yes....turning 45 did something to my hair so I decided to go back to basics....oil my scalp and ends. Satin scarfin it at night and low bun after i take the braids down
Mine too, well crochet braids. I started wearing them in mid August last year. Took them out in end of October and my hair had grown so much. So fingers crossed my hair keep growing. Best wishes to you and your hair journey xx
Same recently I’ve been seeing so many girls grow their hair in 1 year just by doing protective style etc...
Yes! I remember when I was in college I wore braids for a year with 2 week brakes in between and my hair grew so much and it was healthy! I remember one of my coworkers thought I was wearing a wig when it was my natural hair.
I have found conditioning my hair before washing it ( I think it’s called pre-poo) works so well on wash day and keeps it from tangling during the wash process. And you are right about products, they really are all the same!
I do that as well. My hair was easier to finger detangling and It seems to make my hair soft too.
My goals: to eat more healthy and learn my hair to be able to know how to take more care of it and retain length
Thanks for dropping so many great gems!!! It’s rare to find someone who has shared the same struggles as me. Who has gone through the natural hair journey and can be opened to share their experience. I’ve gone through the big chop and buying a ton of expensive products that I believe would help my hair grow and retain moisture. Only to still have those same issues from the start, but be out of hundreds of dollars. I love your channel and appreciate every video you post. Thanks for actually trying to educate your subscribers with out all of those unnecessary sponsorships and ads. I really enjoy your channel.
My goal is to have more patience with my hair. I use to take the time to care for myself/ hair but over the last couple of years I just haven’t had the patience. I also want to learn what really keeps my hair moisturized because I live in a dryer climate so a lot of products seem to just sit on top of the hair.
It has definitely been better for my hair (and for me) with low manipulation. Also if I can extend washing my hair too has been wonderful. As always, thank you for these tips Jai!! ❤️ Happy New Year!
Love these tips! I discovered I need to clarify and steam with every wash! Changed my whole life when it came to hydration and length retention. I would say my main goal is overall health and retention
I have to admit I don't clarify as often as I should. Definitely need to do this more this year!
Great Advice clarify game changed my hair. My curls popping when I clarify my hair.
Thank you for this video and your insight amd opinions. They truly helped me get things figured out my hair and my daughters.
I enjoyed this video!! I agree with everything I said!! 👏🏾👏🏾 Genetics plays a part! We all have to be content with that!! Thanks for this video 😊😊
Hi I been using your method of finger detangling it is so much easy with just doing it with your fingers it better than using a comb and happy new year to u xx💕
My hair goals: definitely being in more control of it. Thank you for your videos💕💕💕 helps me alot
You're so welcome!
I appreciate you so much for being so honest. That just helped me to be okay and honest with myself; I just don’t know my hair; real talk! However; I am very happy for the journey to learn exactly what is needed for my hair. Whether it is waist length or shoulder length; I just want healthy hair. Keep being awesome!
🥰🥰🥰
My goals are to grow my hair to 10-12 inches by the end of this year right now I'm 7-8 inches and also to try to not braid my hair a lot so maybe 2 times for this year is good enough I realised that when I last had braids which were in November I haven't put any in since and my hair grew a lot and got healthier I had about 51/2 inches of hair and between November and January I grew 3 inches also I want to ensure that my hair is well taken care of (by myself of course) I wash my hair once a month but I started moisturizing my hair even more because it was dry and brittle but now I wash it twice and in cornrows and twist that helps too much manipulation isn't good for me. Deep conditioning is key never did it before and when I did girl my curls were popin.
Goals 2021 reach to 24 inches of hair hair soft and more bounchy curls, washing and clearafying my hair more.
I'm back as a refresher ❤thanks
Happy New Year!!! I Truly appreciate your hair tips, product reviews and home videos. I completely agree with you regarding not washing my hair every week, I do it as I feel it needs it and after a video you posted I tried low heat to stretch it and it's been helping to retain length. Thanks again. Love your hair today ❤️
Happy new year!! Thanks friend! :)
My daughter is 9 years old and she has about 20inches of hair curly (I had to measure it this year cuz it’s to much) , I don’t do her hair a lot at all it can be a few weeks or even a months, I do braids or twists… most people would say that’s bad practice but when it’s time to do her hair I detangle with my hands it literally takes almost 6-8 hours and then to wash it takes another 1.5 hrs almost I know it seems extreme but taking the time to do her hair really has saved it! We also have never put any heat to her hair and she has never received a cut. She has had the same
Head of hair since birth. I try to tell people do not do anything to your hair just leave it alone, like she said give your hair a break let it grow naturally less chemicals.
I do use olive oil as well for her when I condition. I don’t let my daughter get her hair done by anyone. Like literally, no one touches her hair, these practices has allowed her hair to grow down her back curly! I don’t even want to see how long it will be when it’s straightened. Lol
Okay 3 things:
1. My hair goal is to have tailbone length hair by the end of this year and if not, that goal extends to next year!
2. I lowkey want to grow my hair in natural protective styles without weave. I love braids, they're my favorite but I feel like I want to learn how to grow my hair while it's free and not just lazily in protective styles that have to have weave incorporated if that makes sense?
3. Yes, genetics aid in how fast/thick your hair grows naturally but anyone can grow long, healthy hair if thats what you desire. Short hair is beautiful btw! But realize we have grown up in a majority white society that instilled self hate in us from the beginning. Just because you haven't found what works for your hair doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, people with naturally clear skin exist but there are tons of people who don't have naturally clear skin but found something that allows them to have clear skin, the same works for hair! Good luck on your journey!
I think you should try twisting your natural hair and oiling it regularly, that worked for me.
@@jadadaughtry3869 I'll definitely give it a shot! I've only done twist outs a couple of times!
@@jadadaughtry3869 how long you keep the styles before washing ?
@@gratefulmind8071 I try to keep them in for about a month but sometimes i’ll do a twistout then wash my hair and put the twists back in.
Yes, I agree that you can hack your genetics. I notice that people with the longest hair style their hair the simplest. Those with the shortest hair frequently change their hairstyles.
My hair goal for 2021 is retaining moisture and continue learning and understanding what it needs
All these tips I think are spot on! New subscriber here!
Are you going to make a tutorial for the style you’re wearing in this video? I vote yes 🙌🏾 lol, please and thank you 🙏🏾
Great video Jai. Genetics definitely contribute to hair growth and I've been taking iron with vitamin C and it has helped me alot. I love your channel because you promote healthy hair over length of hair, and you give us protective styles to do at home. Thanks for sharing.
💜
I just discovered finger detangling last night it is so awesome. Better than using a comb that rips your ends up
Yep!
I’m no longer using my hair dryer with the brush. It was pulling my hair out. I am going to finger detangle and then use my wide-tooth comb. Then just use an old fashion blow dryer without any attachments.
Sometimes keeping it simple is best!
Thank you for sharing this. I was strongly considering buying a blowdryer with the attachment
Thank you for sharing keep it was very helpful thank you so much I really appreciate it
I love these kinda videos because im still learning how to manage after 3yrs smh. Thanks for these tips
This was a great little video........I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH GENETICS PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLL IN THE AFFECTS OF YOUR HAIR GROWTH AND OR SUCCESS. I do have to say that the tidbit about iron supplements was interesting and I think I will do some investigating for my self because there’s a couple of people in my family who suffers from low blood.......so thank you for sharing that.......once again, great video........be blessed be encouraged
Thank you & Yes, it's ( iron ) is worth looking into :)
Do you have a video on your mini twists? I would love to see some examples especially for under my wigs. Love the videos... been binge watching😊
Your tips were great! Genetics plays a HUGE part with our hair. In reference to wash n go’s (I can’t speak for the braid outs and twist outs...Ion do those lol) I only style my hair once every 7 days. It goes in a bonnet at night and all I do is give it a quick head toss from side to side and I’m out the door. My hair is almost waist length. So I guess it depends on how each persons hair responds to those styles and what they have to do to maintain it. As always...folks should just do what works for them. 💕
Great Video!! 🥰
Yes to doing your hair yourself!! I learned to do my hair from TH-cam tutorials while I was in Iraq and it was the best thing for my hair, especially since it’s fine.
And thank you for mentioning genetics. There are still way too many type 4 naturals thinking a curling cream will give them butt length 3b hair.
My hair goal for this year is to reach butt length! Remind me in December
Yes, I do agree genetics is such a big part of it.
I really agree with you. Heat is fine as long as you use a good heatprotectant and make sure that your moisture/protein ratio is fine. I like to do a blow-out when I know that I will be very busy in that week. I also do it when my scalp is sore for some reason. It's easy to maintain and it creates less tension.
Hey Jai, hope all is well . I am watching you look cute and rested good for you!
Been waiting on a video from you.
I needed a break girl! lol
My hair goals are to grow my hair out and to make it healthier.
Great tips💖💖💖
AWESOME VIDEO thanks for sharing
Love this video I was detangling my hair as I watch lol.....
Yes Darling! Genetics matter-whether it's liked or not! At some point they will get it that not everyone is going to grow their hair down to their knees! my goodness
yesss mama!
I don’t even want knee length hair, I’ll settle for APL or BSL smh
also less washing = less manipulation and my hair definitely lovesss less manipulation....at the end of the day noone hair is the exact same you just have to learn and understand what is best for you! :)
Our scalp is the soil and our hair are the flowers you must water the soil for the plants to grow I gotta keep both clean cause for one i sweat in my head and it will get to smelling..I was told the low po hair dont like oil not my hair my hair absolutely eats it up
I use heat EVERY DAY WHEN I DEEP CONDITION and my hair is still amazing. Heat is not that bad
Well what kind of heat? Flat iron heat or like heat cap heat? Because flat iron is direct while heat cap is more like body heat so it's not as damaging. I mean everyone's hair is different and some people are just lucky about never getting heat damage 🤷🏿♀️
I agree I get Dominican blowouts and have no hear damage and mid back length
I agree I get Dominican blowouts and have no hear damage and mid back length
What are your individual strands like thick or fine, your method could mean breakage for someone else
@@zayzay7906
How often?
They won’t like the genetics tip🥴 but I believe the same thing..although my hair is a good length I fell into the comparison trap many times before looking at girls with hair much longer then mines but on the other end my hair has grown longer since I stopped being lazy and started taking care of my hair!
the way you explain "extending wash days" is very understandable and makes sense. My mom has that kind of scalp and hair that does not have a lot of build up and doesn't itches so she can go 4-6 weeks . .me however has to go every week - at best I can try for 2 weeks because I tend to have itchy scalp and very frizzy hair. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you! My husband is like you. He has to wash weekly because of his scalp. Like I said it just all depends on the person!
@@JaiMarii 🙂
I have the same problem.. I'm trying to stretch it to 2 weeks this year though. I have found that using distilled water with a lot of tea tree and peppermint essential oil allows me to go a bit longer than a week .
I mist my scalp with it daily and it realllllyy helps with the itching
@@bethsands9341 design essential has a shampoo that really helps too ...(think it’s the peppermint and aloe) I’ve been using that for the last 2 months
My goal is to leave my hair in mini braids back to back for a year and see how much length I retain, leaving it for 2 weeks or more and just washing, moisturising and sealing in the braids.
My hair goals for this year is health because when I finally started taking care of my hair I realized that this girl wasn't in a good state so I am going to focus on that and then next year I am going back to length and health but this year it's all about health❤️but it's facts genetics play a huge role and most natural ytubers don't wanna admit and what would you suggest I do because my iron levels are not great😭❤️
I was at my goal and trusted someone to do my hair. I had it sectioned and detangled. She took all the sections out and washed it like u said and ripped through it. After she was done she said “you lost a lot of hair in the sink”!! 😡 I never lose a lot of hair. She wasn’t going to DC before flatironing. She then rips it out more when detangling again before blow drying. When she was done my hair was so thin and so much shorter. She trimmed it and I didn’t need one. Only needed it after she destroyed my hair. Over the next 1 1/2 year I had to cut over 6 inches of heat damage and thin hair just to get it back healthy. I was almost waist length when I went in. APL when I left. Never again. Hurt my soul 😩
i love her hairstyle in this video lowkey want a tutorial
Hi. Thanks for your videos. They are all so very helpful. I hope you dont mind my asking, but do you still relax you edges because they look so smooth.
I want to be more patient with my hair and keep my ends moisturized!
I have scalp issues so I have to wash my hair once a week.
Thank you for the tips! Also, I’m crossing my fingers you do a tutorial on this ‘do lol I’m guessing it’s a headband wig but I’m curious as to how it looks in the back.
I take prescribed iron as well. my protective style our buns. so true , about being tied .
You already went there!😄
Yes ! Definitely genetics!
My 2021 hair goals are for healthier and longer hair! I’m 3 months in postpartum and I’ve very sensitive about my hair (yes really I am 😂) I would like to hang onto my length and retain my edges 😩
This is also my hair go. When I first went natural my hair was beautiful...then i got lazy now im trying to get back together but this water is so hard here. Im think i need a softener
All mamas are very sensitive about their hair after baby! You're not alone. Just try your best to stay away from anything causing any tension/friction and have a healthy routine.
Keeping it real. Thanks for the info in the iron. I am anemic and has been for life. Runs in the fam ( genetics) U didn't know it would affect my hair like that. Need to get back in the iron. Plus being tired all the time sucks lok
I had severe anaemia too. It took such a long time for my hair to recover 😩
Ive been loving saving coins the past 2 years doing my hair myself. One thing i cant do is clipping my ends so i haven't clip it all last year. I wash my hair twice a week because it itch easily so i always need to keep it clean. I just need to figure out how to get my ends clip seeing im not entering a hair salon right now.
Try and get someone you trust to either do it for you or keep it even. Also, try incorporating the dusting method more. That's what u do!💜
Just recently found your channel. I've had this exact conversation with females in my office over and over again. They call me "Long hair don't care" because I don't do twistouts and wash n go styles. One of the few times that my hair was flat ironed, a lady told me that my hair was down my back because I don't comb my hair. I just laughed because they never believed me when I told them what you just said. I started growing my hair out from a brush cut. They wanted to know why my length bypassed theirs, but didn't believe my answer.
How do you normally wear your hair?
Im going to start just finger detangling, you always did say that but habit had me picking up the comb or dendim brush. And I wash my hair every week unless I have in crochet/ other braids 😫... I'm going to stretch that out. I know you've said it before but how often do you trim your ends? And of course you're correct, it's best to make sure you're also eating right and drinking water
That is very true your family history
My hair is a brillo pad!! I need help on getting a natural hair routine down. First it needs moisture!! Did I say it is a brillo pad??? Ok my brittle hair breaks too easy. Can you help me get started in doing a great routine that will help with growing and getting healthy. Your hair is gorgeous!!
As I Am Coconut CoWash, Camille Rose aloe butter gel, Shea moisture jbco peppermint acv leave-in, Curls blueberry Bliss leave all will have your hair so soft & moisturized!
What brand of iron do you take and how much? I think this is my issue as well because I’ve always heard I had low iron over the years.
Well said
Genetics can affect your thickness, balding pattern and Going grey early.Not really length because hair grows your entire life. We all grow hair around the same length of time give or take. If your hair isn’t growing it’s because you are doing something wrong or an illness. It’s just that we are uneducated about our hair
On average hair grows 6 inches a year. The person whose hair grows 7-9 inches a year will naturally have longer hair than the 3-5 incher. The person with fast growth has more leeway with styling, hair care, or lack thereof. People with slow growth can still hack their way to long hair, they just have more obstacles.
I find that perm rods always go wrong for me and then trying to untangle them is a whole ass mess itself im going to be doing box braids again, when my her was ear length I was doing box braids and keeping them in for 2 months which really helped but this year I always took them out 3 weeks later so imma try to do 2 months again because my hair literally has not grown since the summer so I'm doing something wrong
Do you have a tutorial for the style you are wearing
I totally swear by finger detangling. My hair is bra strap length thanks to finger detangling. Unfortunately I have noticed my hair is thinning in the top front of my hairline ( not shedding but maybe being pulled back and a bit of hormones) .My goals are to moisturize better and find a way to thicken it. Any tips are greatly appreciated 😊
I love your hairstyle in this video. What did you do to obtain this look?
Subscribed! Happy to b here 😄
😀
Hello Jai, when you say wash your hair in sections, 3 or 4, how do you do that, without getting shampoo on the other the sections? My goal for my hair is to get it's length back and have it health and stop breakage. You talk about manipulation of the hair, does that include when its in a protective style? I also have to agree about buying all these products and sticking to what you know. Thanks for the Video and advice. T
So So Houston ✅💯
My hair look like a staircase it’s so uneven it’s bad but I wear my hair up or it’s in a afro state so it’s not noticeable. But when wet 😩 lord help.
If you use an all natural/organic shampoo it is okay to wash your hair weekly. No stress, no hair striping, no chemicals, toxins etc.
Is this a headband wig with 2 French braids? Video tutorial please! Your videos are my fav for protective styles! Straight forward and perfect length. No 20 minute of you rambling. Lol just perfect!
Yes it is. I did this look in my Kinkistry Straight headband video from October or Nov! :)
You can put all the products in your hair and take all the vitamins but if you have hormonal issues and you don’t fix it. You hair will never grow and will always break off periodt
I’m trying to back from having Fulani braids. It pulled so much of my hair out. Especially at the edges. Any advice on what to use on my scalp to get everything back in balance and hair to grow back and thicken up again?
@BJ22 YES!!
Your nails are amazing. Can you do a video on natural nail care? I’m trying to grow my natural nails but I’m struggling with breaking them & keeping them white, clean & as healthy as they can be.
Thank u! I've gotten this request since I started my channel and have never done one bc it's mostly...genetics lol. My mom and sisters have long natural nails too. However, I'll get a video out this month on a few helpful tips though!💜
@@JaiMarii I’ve heard that some people do a whiting routine to keep them looking fresh. Also do you file your nails weekly or put a hardening polish on to keep them from chipping? Stuff like that.
When you say not washing. Do you mean no water at all or just not shampooing?
I have been on my hair journey for four years and I also found that you don't have to wash your hair every week now I put my hair in twist and keep it oiled and until it's time for me to do it again or I roller set it... from short cut to now 12/13 inch hair
O yes I have got pretty good at it...
How long you got that length?
@@gratefulmind8071 I'm at shoulder length now an it's still growing I want to get to middle back length ... just loving it ❤️❤️❤️
Have you tired a aloe Vera hair treatment? If so what’s your thoughts.
I need to be more patient with my hair and finger detangle. 😔
I have a question. If your plat gets thinner and thinner the more you braid it towards the end. Is that a sign that you need your hair cut because your hair is thinning at the ends and it’s suppose to be thick along with the rest of the braid. Could that be a sign of too much heat?
Your hair is thicker at the root/base and will be thinner as you braid down. It doesn’t necessarily mean that your hair needs to be cut. It even happens when you use braiding hair for box braids etc.
My hair don't care about sections, all twists fall out! Lol I don't think heat is the enemy either
So beautiful honey 😍✨💕
I def don’t wash my hair multiple times a month
I take prenatal vitamins it really helps my hair I know a lot of women don’t want to take prenatal vitamins fearing they might get pregnant. But it really helps I’m good with that part my tubes have been tied ,burned, cut and all so NO BABY!! 🤣🤣🤣
😊
