Im growing my hair and i have been natural my whole life. when i told my grandma she said that because of genetics I would never get long hair. Im proving her wrong because my hair has grown from shoulder length to bra strap length in a year. Never give up
People kill me with the genetics argument. Most of us don’t even know what our hair can do genetically. Just because your parents and/or grandparents have short hair doesn’t mean you can’t have long hair. Their hair could’ve been short because they chose to keep it that way or simply because they didn’t know how to retain length. I don’t know why people assume when black people have short hair it’s because it doesn’t grow. They don’t want us to learn our hair.
I'm black My hair is nappy..... .....and it GROWS right down my back when I care for it properly. My products: Rice water, Blue Magic grease, finger combing, wash-treat once a week. I keep it in twists, wear wraps or wig. 4" right now..... waist length my goal. *Wash, condition, grease, leave it be and repeat.*
Genetics does not determine length. Genetics determines texture. Maybe even volume and thickness. Which can still be improved with topical and ingested agents. Health, retention and care determine length.
I think genetics does determine length. Reason: Armpit hair, pubic hair, leg hair, don't grow to infinity and beyond. The lengths may vary per the individual some with longer leg hair or shorter. I think head hair has a terminal length (the time period it will grow before it sheds out). If starting on a bald head and someone has an anagen phase of 2 years (avg. 2-7 yrs., possibly 3-5 yrs. reports vary) and grow the average speed (1/2 inch), they'll max at 12 inches before their hair sheds out. The majority of people probably don't see their terminal length (it would require perfect hair care, no breakage in any way). Though, in particular for black hair, maintenance is very important for the hair to grow long. So, I wouldn't focus at all on the genetics argument when maintenance should be the focus. Most black women will see an increase if they properly take care of their hair.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes to Apple cider vinegar making my hair dry and brittle! I went natural in 2011 and have never had a good experience doing an ACV rinse, whilst everybody else was raving about it. 🤨 Apparently apart from balancing the ph and promoting shine I’ve read it helps to STRENGTHEN the hair. Well, I run away from from anything containing that word, because I already have thick, strong, EXTREMELY Low porosity hair. So the only conclusion I can come to is that it’s just adding another protein-like strengthening deposit on my hair, which my hair clearly doesn’t need, and as you use a lot of natural products with plant proteins, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the same for you. Thank you for being such an inspiration, you’ve encouraged me to go back to all natural products again. My hair was thriving when I did.... 😍
I been natural since 2010 after hair fell in from relaxer damage and alepecia . I had to learn what my hair textures were and what my hair needed . After that I use natural two strand twists as my protective style , finger detangle while hair is wet ,keep hair in loose twists bun and now my hair length is a lil pass my chest and still growing
I use Apple cider vinegar to wash my scalp every 2-3 weeks. I have tested the pH which is usually 4.5-5.5. I pour 2-3 caps of acv into a spray bottle and 1to 1 1/2 cups of water. It cleans my scalp and make my hair super soft
@@DiecastAutoPire4774 I use acv rinse in between clay washes. first i section out my hair into 12 parts; then rinse my scalp, finger detangling or using a seamless wide tooth comb under warm water. next I do my acv rinse: make sure to use acv with 'mother' written on the label. add 1 oz of acv to 8 oz of distilled water. use a spray bottle or pour the liquid over your head while over a huge bowl to catch the rinse (recycle the hair rinse over and over), do this for 5 minutes while massaging your scalp. I make sue all my strains have been blessed with acv. rinse out the acv with warm water, use your favorite leave in conditioner. I like putting my hair in twists, making it into a cute updo, wrap it in a scarf so that my hair will dry close to my head, let it air dry.
I use buns as my protective styling , and i went from neck to mid back length! I'm gonna try finger detaining for a couple of weeks to see if i like the results. Great video 💕
@@aaliyahbowling9458 use a scrunchie or hair sticks. Rubber bands break the hair. I use a thick scrunchie and only wrap it once and then put in 2 Bobby pins to keep it from falling out
@Aaliyah Bowling or depends on your hair length and strength. I stopped doing low buns and went to cornrows because the front hairs were just long enough to get to the lower bun, but the ends would break off (from the front). I would have to probably pin it to the back to make an illusion (that is in the bun). But it's whatever works for you, we have to notice our hair sometimes and see what's not working for us. Good luck on your journey 🌸
I use half apple cider vinegar and half aloe vera juice in a spray bottle and it detangles and moisturizes my hair and my two kids hair. We use this as a prepoo instead of oils before washing our hair with a clarifying shampoo 1x per month or liquid black soap every other week, or clay wash every other week. Good tips thanks for sharing your hair journey 🥰👍🏽
Have you heard of Chebe Powder. Check it out at www.sahelcosmetics.com Ms.Sahel is the founder, I used the Chebe powder with shea Butter and some other essential oils my hair has really grown. The secret is keep the hair moisturized. Check out her videos.
Cleopatra Simmons are you asking about chebe powder? I don’t use that because I use henna or right now Cassia on my hair and my kids hair which is similar to chebe powder. I leave it on a minimum of four hours and then rinse out with conditioner. If you me talking about aloe Vera juice and apple cider vinegar spray we use this as a detangler and prepoo so that is left on until we wash our hair which is usually the next day.
Cleopatra Simmons for myself and my kids, we use liquid black soap every other week with a shampoo brush, or I will use a clay wash (Bentonite aka Indian Healing Clay, or Rhassoul Clay, or Shakakai+soap nut powder forget the Indian name with half apple cider vinegar and half aloe Vera juice and essentials oils)and right now every 1-3 months I use a clarifying shampoo. Then you put on the Chebe powder and/or Henna or Cassia treatment. I do not wash my hair after that but cowash it out. I only wash my hair and my kids hair 1x per week or roughly every Saturday or Sunday depending on how much time we have as our kids are in track and cross country so we are very busy on the weekends. Hope his helpful
Omg the little jump at 10:30!! So cute!! You look so happy 💖 You worked hard and achieved your goal and you’re helping other women to achieve theirs and feel beautiful too. A wonderful soul, Jah bless 💕
Wow ! I realized that you were a native French speaker by your Accent while speaking English but didn’t think that you are right next door. I am watching your video in Dominica (La Dominique).
Every Hebrew/"black" person can grow long hair! Look at all of our people that grow out locks.. the key to growing long natural hair is moisture ( water, oil, leave in conditioner) wrap and protect hair all of the time!! If you can protect your ends you CAN GROW LONG ASS HAIR!! Protect the ends just like people do when the grow locks 😘 and you do not have to grow locks to have long hair
Yes! True like you said you can grow hair without locking it. Also remember hair growth is from the inside. You need to take care of what you feed your body. Lots of proteins as hair is mostly protein.
people over here talking about genetic... my mom and dad both got snatched short hair and my sister over here looking like repunzel while I'm over here looking snatched with short hair..... explain that genetics.
Sometimes what appears to be genetics is really "family practices". For example, if your grandmother, mother aunts and sisters all practice the same hair care which may not be very healthy, have the same eating habits because they were all taught the same things, have similar lifestyles, then it's quite easy for this entire group to have similar happenings... and before you know it, we would all say its genetics. Same thing goes for diseases, we say its genetics when it's really lifestyle. Having said that, break free and go conquer that long, healthy hair sis!
Either your sister's hair is more resilient in some way. Is it thicker, coarser, or straighter? Or she does haircare that's more conducive to growth. Does she take care of it in a way different from the family? Also, your parents have the same hair genes as your sister. They passed it down, of course. It may be a case of your sister displaying recessive genes that cause more resilient hair. Assuming you all share the same hair care practices that is.
Girl you did everything positive the one i like the most is you ate very healthy which aid in health and hair growth. Most women forget about there health. Congrats on everything sister.
So you may already know this bc this video was a year ago, but apple cider vinegar actually breaks down your hair integrity over time bc it’s the ph is too LOW. That’s why we have the pH BALANCE in our body and for our hair 🤓 balance is always key 😇 we can only use acv rinses when diluted with distilled water so we don’t damage our hair. Straight acv can really do some damage 😢 hope that’s helps! And thanks for sharing all your knowledge ♥️
Such pretty hair! We have a similar hair type but I’m transitioning back to natural. My hair is coarser and more fine in the back while the front is stronger and has a looser hair texture.
Amber Nicole coarse and fine are antonyms. For your hair to be “coarse” means your individual strands are thick vs being thin which means your strands are fine. So you must mean your hair in the back of your head is kinkier/fine and in the front it’s looser/coarse
As a Melanated woman, I'm naturally alkaline. So I don't use vinegar in my hair. I rarely ingest anything acidic. Edit: I'm glad you stated how important a healthy diet & exercise = both needed for total health.
Love your clip...awesome hair..you are so lovely and inspiring! We have some of the same methods..My hair loves peppermint mixed in with my olive and other oils..For me, I find that it is also helpful to maintain a peaceful frame of mind. My hair does not like drama....at all..I stay away from obnoxious, trifling, exhausting entities!! LOL 😂
I’m sorry to hear that Apple cider vinegar is now making your hair brittle. What do you dilute it with before applying it to your hair? I used to dilute with water, but now I dilute with a hair tea (chamomile, peppermint, nettle leaf, horse tail & rosemary). Thanks so much for all of your helpful tips!
I've used coconut vinegar on my hair. For me, it's not as harsh as ACV and the smell is more tolerable to me. I'd love to see a video once you've tried it.
We have similar texture. The same thing happened to me re: ACV. I used it and then, all of a sudden, it made my hair brittle. I think the hair just needs a break. I stopped using it for several years. Now I use it just a few times a year.
Your are beautiful, your hair is gorgeous and is MY GOALS!!!, I'm following ALL of your tips and I already see results! Thank you so much😘 New subbie❤❤❤
@@UnivHairSoleil3 When I said Ms.Sahel is the founder. I was saying she is the one who made the Chebe powder known through out the world.

It's been a staple in Chad Africa for centuries, many tribes has use the powder she has made it known through out other parts of the world. Check her out, you can read her story. I use the Chebe power in a mixture and I have seen tremendous growth and it keep moisture in my hair which keep my hair from breaking and assist in the growth.

Thank you for your hair journey. Your hair is beautiful to look at. My hair was stuck at just above armpit length for nearly two years now, using rice water, from since October 2018 has helped me get to armpit length and just past it. My stables are castor oil which I have added MSM, aloe vera juice and gel henna and cassia, Fenugreek, green tea plus wild growth oil. I have started to spray rice water on my scalp twice daily and that has really made a difference.
@@felisahyman1248 I deep condition with rice water and put a conditioner on top of my hair. The rice water I put my hair daily, is mixed with aloe vera juice, fenugreek and green tea and I store it in the fridge, so it does not smell.
@@valeriesmith15 I deep condition with it as well, same as you do. Ok. Will def try this daily spray. Rice water has helped my hair so much with shedding
I have followed ur hair journey for a long time.... I’m still dancing to your love your hair video....you should linked that video on your next video.🙌🙌 You look so beautiful 🥰🙌💕 ur hair grew so long between 2015 & 2016💕
I absolutely agree with you on finger detangling. I even use my fingers to part the hair. It grew more!! About acv: If your hair feels brittle or hard use with a creamy conditioner. That will remedy the hardness
Yes apple cider vinegar can dry hair that's why I don't use often .Maybe you can try wine vinegar or the kinds you mentioned. But I would use very little. It's not like you really need vinegar you have already achieved your length and it is simply beautiful. 😊
I don’t even know where to start to take care of my hair with her videos. There’s so many good videos she has. I think I will begin with the onion decoction. I guess with the apple cider vinegar, your scalp was strong enough to take the vinegar. But now your scalp is on a different level, stronger so apple cider can’t handle it anymore.
You remind me of another youtuber from around 2012 orso ik think her name was shera.. she also had her own hair product and tailbone length hair....wish i could find her to show you.❤
If you use an apple cider vinegar continuously like that you not diluting it yes it can begin to make your hair brittle and it gets your hair out a pH balance versus pH balancing your hair. You can also mix it with fresh aloe vera juice I add a couple essential oils and I use in a few different ways I do not use it every week.
Yeap ❤the key is learning and some are very consistent. Some people do nothing to their hair and it just grows. Where others usevall kinds of products or natural herbs for growth. I just take care of mines the same way you do and keep it twisted.
I feel that the apple cider vinegar brittle effect is due to the hair becoming imbalanced ph wise. So your hair is probably becoming more acidic. So maybe ease up on the apple cider vinegar and other ph related remedies. Thank you so much for your channel! You are truly an inspiration!!!! Thank you and be blessed!🙏🏾🙏🏾😍
You may need to Clarify your hair and then go back to ACV. I use "Neutrogena" about every 6 months and it make your hair squeaky clean and removes any buildup that gets inside the stand. After that I go back to my all natural or organic cleansers like. Wow, I need to get my yoga stretching on. Thanks for sharing.
Bonjour! Merci pour le vidéo! Peut-être tu as un problème avec ACV parce que votre cheveux est plus familier avec il et c’est le temps a continuer avec quelques chose différent...oui-essayer rice wine vinegar! Moi, Je ne l'ai pas essayé, mais le devrais à l'avenir. Je n'ai jamais pensé à l'utiliser!
I am in my 60's and have always had long hair. It is currently down to 3 inches from my butt. I have had hair that long for at least 10-15 years. I don't use a lot on my hair. My problem is thin hair. I rarely wear it down and it is natural. I want to try something new to thicker my hair up. Will onion help this.
Onion, Amla, Fenugreek seeds, Henna. Henna deposits the dye into your hair shaft causing it to get thicker and stronger with time. Amla and Fenugreek can help not only with the number of hair follicles but also the number of hairs produced by the follicles. You can drink amla juice and apply it on your scalp. You can also drink fenugreek water and apply it in your scalp.Onion strengthens hair and prevents breakage.
Yes, the apple cider vinegar with a bit drying for my hair.I diluted a little more.2tbs. 3cups of water.I was using too strong a solution before.Your hair is beautiful,by the way.!
Nice hair. Use Baking Soda solution if the ACV is not working. I want to see a video with some whose hair was not already long or of a finer texture...
Before I forget gotta say love your twists too cute ( now back to the video ) Honestly gotta say again gorgeous hair periodttt! I'm glad you didn't get caught up in the lie about genetics being a hindrance to hair growth. Same as the lie that our hair's not alive, when she very much is. Since many women come to the point of cutting their hair due to exactly this. I do want to add that finger detangling is NOT necessary. The key is in the use of the correct tools. It shouldn't take you longer than 15 mins max to fully detangle your hair. Regardless of how much of it you have on your head. Plus you can also create your detangling mixture. Which will even cut that time in half, and make sure that your time for detangling is extremely quick. With all this hair there has NEVER been anytime I've finger detangled. Just don't have that kinda patience, and I'm glad because that's how I knew the correct tools to use. Not to mention our hair's main job is to protect our skull. So it has to be extremely strong to be appointed that gig to begin with. Due to this heat is also not something necessary to shy away from. If used correctly which would again consist of the correct tools. Plus not being used continuously then there should be no issues. I'm also happy to see that you added nutrition, and exercise into the mix. Since I'm in the medical field I can tell you the main reason that most have issues with hair growth. Simply happens to be due to their body displaying that they have issues with their ( HEALTH ) A lack of the PROPER nutrition is usually the main reason for this. Thanks for another great video. 📕 Girl you always get me on here writing mini novella's 😁
@@deinfakio3775 Whatever tools work best for your hair, would be the correct tools for you to use. If you experience shedding, or breaking then you know that's not the correct tool for you. The only way you'll know is to become familiar with your OWN hair. What works for some won't work for everyone.
Thank you so much for your story. It told me everything I need to do. I'm going to do this plus add ayurvedic herbs like henna, fenugreek, amla, etc. to strengthen my hair. I really need to bite the bullet and finger detangle. But thank you again.
Apple cider vinegar has a lot of acid, wouldn't acid eat and dry out? Its interesting that you have noticed and admitted about vinegar. So many say it's such a good thing. We have to be careful on what and how we clean our hair because we can clean out some of whatever is essential to the life in our hair.
Perhaps as your hair grew and became stronger and more healthy, it changed a bit. Maybe you should add less ACV (than what you were adding before). Maybe your hair doesn’t need as strong a solution as you were using before.
If you figure out why acv affects your hair differently now, please update us! I thought it may have been a change of your hair's porosity, but that doesn't make too much sense, because you don't use heat, hair tools, or techniques that would damage your strands and lift the cuticles. That's interesting.
So you mean to tell me I can grow a very low hair cut to a tail bone length may be within a few years?. I currently use fenugreek with henna, alma, olive oil and coconut oil. Which regimen is better?
Yes you can. I've seen people who have locked their hair while short and grown it long. You can grow your hair long loose as well. You don't have to lock it to grow. Fenugreek, Amla and Henna are excellent for hair growth. Watch Curly Proverbz, Indigenous Strandz and Green Beauty as well. You'll learn a lot from their channels.
1: Protective style, low manipulation
2: Protect hair at night
3: Finger detangle
4: Effective wash day routine

Genetics does not determine length.
Genetics determines texture. Maybe even volume and thickness. Which can still be improved with topical and ingested agents.
Health, retention and care determine length.
TruthFan Exactly
I think genetics does determine length. Reason: Armpit hair, pubic hair, leg hair, don't grow to infinity and beyond. The lengths may vary per the individual some with longer leg hair or shorter. I think head hair has a terminal length (the time period it will grow before it sheds out). If starting on a bald head and someone has an anagen phase of 2 years (avg. 2-7 yrs., possibly 3-5 yrs. reports vary) and grow the average speed (1/2 inch), they'll max at 12 inches before their hair sheds out.

I been natural since 2010 after hair fell in from relaxer damage and alepecia . I had to learn what my hair textures were and what my hair needed . After that I use natural two strand twists as my protective style , finger detangle while hair is wet ,keep hair in loose twists bun and now my hair length is a lil pass my chest and still growing
I use Apple cider vinegar to wash my scalp every 2-3 weeks. I have tested the pH which is usually 4.5-5.5. I pour 2-3 caps of acv into a spray bottle and 1to 1 1/2 cups of water. It cleans my scalp and make my hair super soft
This pH is ideal for our hair ! 😍Thank you for sharing !
How should I wash my hair with ACV???
Thanks!
Royal Rims it’s more of a rinse. And than wash with your usual shampoo 🧴 ;
@@DiecastAutoPire4774 I use acv rinse in between clay washes. first i section out my hair into 12 parts; then rinse my scalp, finger detangling or using a seamless wide tooth comb under warm water. next I do my acv rinse: make sure to use acv with 'mother' written on the label. add 1 oz of acv to 8 oz of distilled water. use a spray bottle or pour the liquid over your head while over a huge bowl to catch the rinse (recycle the hair rinse over and over), do this for 5 minutes while massaging your scalp. I make sue all my strains have been blessed with acv. rinse out the acv with warm water, use your favorite leave in conditioner. I like putting my hair in twists, making it into a cute updo, wrap it in a scarf so that my hair will dry close to my head, let it air dry.
I use buns as my protective styling , and i went from neck to mid back length! I'm gonna try finger detaining for a couple of weeks to see if i like the results. Great video 💕
Latoya_the_ Natural So buns do work? I’ve been putting my hair in a low bun for maybe 2 weeks and heard that it can cause breakage?
Trinity Kelly you and me both girl 🙌🏽 buns are my go to for now
@@aaliyahbowling9458 use a scrunchie or hair sticks. Rubber bands break the hair. I use a thick scrunchie and only wrap it once and then put in 2 Bobby pins to keep it from falling out
@Aaliyah Bowling or depends on your hair length and strength. I stopped doing low buns and went to cornrows because the front hairs were just long enough to get to the lower bun, but the ends would break off (from the front). I would have to probably pin it to the back to make an illusion (that is in the bun). But it's whatever works for you, we have to notice our hair sometimes and see what's not working for us. Good luck on your journey 🌸
I use half apple cider vinegar and half aloe vera juice in a spray bottle and it detangles and moisturizes my hair and my two kids hair. We use this as a prepoo instead of oils before washing our hair with a clarifying shampoo 1x per month or liquid black soap every other week, or clay wash every other week. Good tips thanks for sharing your hair journey 🥰👍🏽
Have you heard of Chebe Powder. Check it out at www.sahelcosmetics.com
Ms.Sahel is the founder, I used the Chebe powder with shea Butter and some other essential oils my hair has really grown. The secret is keep the hair moisturized.
Check out her videos.
How long do you leave it? Do you regular to wash it out?
Cleopatra Simmons are you asking about chebe powder? I don’t use that because I use henna or right now Cassia on my hair and my kids hair which is similar to chebe powder. I leave it on a minimum of four hours and then rinse out with conditioner. If you me talking about aloe Vera juice and apple cider vinegar spray we use this as a detangler and prepoo so that is left on until we wash our hair which is usually the next day.
How long to you kerp it in your hair, what kind of shampoo and conditioner do you use please. Thanks
Cleopatra Simmons for myself and my kids, we use liquid black soap every other week with a shampoo brush, or I will use a clay wash (Bentonite aka Indian Healing Clay, or Rhassoul Clay, or Shakakai+soap nut powder forget the Indian name with half apple cider vinegar and half aloe Vera juice and essentials oils)and right now every 1-3 months I use a clarifying shampoo. Then you put on the Chebe powder and/or Henna or Cassia treatment. I do not wash my hair after that but cowash it out. I only wash my hair and my kids hair 1x per week or roughly every Saturday or Sunday depending on how much time we have as our kids are in track and cross country so we are very busy on the weekends. Hope his helpful

Every Hebrew/"black" person can grow long hair! Look at all of our people that grow out locks.. the key to growing long natural hair is moisture ( water, oil, leave in conditioner) wrap and protect hair all of the time!! If you can protect your ends you CAN GROW LONG ASS HAIR!! Protect the ends just like people do when the grow locks 😘 and you do not have to grow locks to have long hair
I love this!
Yes! True like you said you can grow hair without locking it. Also remember hair growth is from the inside. You need to take care of what you feed your body. Lots of proteins as hair is mostly protein.
people over here talking about genetic... my mom and dad both got snatched short hair and my sister over here looking like repunzel while I'm over here looking snatched with short hair..... explain that genetics.
You are funny as hell!
I hope your hair growth journey goes well for you. Stay humorous!
Omg lol ikr
LMBO😂😂😂
Sometimes what appears to be genetics is really "family practices". For example, if your grandmother, mother aunts and sisters all practice the same hair care which may not be very healthy, have the same eating habits because they were all taught the same things, have similar lifestyles, then it's quite easy for this entire group to have similar happenings... and before you know it, we would all say its genetics. Same thing goes for diseases, we say its genetics when it's really lifestyle. Having said that, break free and go conquer that long, healthy hair sis!
Either your sister's hair is more resilient in some way. Is it thicker, coarser, or straighter? Or she does haircare that's more conducive to growth. Does she take care of it in a way different from the family? Also, your parents have the same hair genes as your sister. They passed it down, of course. It may be a case of your sister displaying recessive genes that cause more resilient hair. Assuming you all share the same hair care practices that is.
Girl you did everything positive the one i like the most is you ate very healthy which aid in health and hair growth. Most women forget about there health. Congrats on everything sister.
My hair can't grow and I am also obsessed with looking for ways to grow it and you made me beleive it will grow ☺️
Genetics determines what hair type you have like 4a 4b 4c 3a 3b 3c
😂🤣😅
True
Yes and also how fast it grows 😊
So you may already know this bc this video was a year ago, but apple cider vinegar actually breaks down your hair integrity over time bc it’s the ph is too LOW. That’s why we have the pH BALANCE in our body and for our hair 🤓 balance is always key 😇 we can only use acv rinses when diluted with distilled water so we don’t damage our hair. Straight acv can really do some damage 😢 hope that’s helps! And thanks for sharing all your knowledge ♥️
Such pretty hair! We have a similar hair type but I’m transitioning back to natural. My hair is coarser and more fine in the back while the front is stronger and has a looser hair texture.
Amber Nicole coarse and fine are antonyms. For your hair to be “coarse” means your individual strands are thick vs being thin which means your strands are fine. So you must mean your hair in the back of your head is kinkier/fine and in the front it’s looser/coarse
As a Melanated woman, I'm naturally alkaline. So I don't use vinegar in my hair. I rarely ingest anything acidic.
Edit: I'm glad you stated how important a healthy diet & exercise = both needed for total health.
Interesting…😊 Do you have some resources about this subject ? Thank you so much ! 🤗
@@UnivHairSoleil3 See Dr. Sebi as a reference.
Your hair is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your amazing tips and tricks for optimal hair growth. 💕💕
Love your clip...awesome hair..you are so lovely and inspiring! We have some of the same methods..My hair loves peppermint mixed in with my olive and other oils..For me, I find that it is also helpful to maintain a peaceful frame of mind. My hair does not like drama....at all..I stay away from obnoxious, trifling, exhausting entities!! LOL 😂
Haha 😂
ACV with the mother combined with aloe vera juice works for me.
I’m sorry to hear that Apple cider vinegar is now making your hair brittle. What do you dilute it with before applying it to your hair? I used to dilute with water, but now I dilute with a hair tea (chamomile, peppermint, nettle leaf, horse tail & rosemary).
Thanks so much for all of your helpful tips!
Your PEO oil really has helped to grow my edges back a lot and my hair... Thanks for all the good information!
Where can I get this PEO? Amazon?
Your hair if GORGEOUS. Will try some of your tips. New SUBBIE; Thanks.
Thank you so much !
I've used coconut vinegar on my hair. For me, it's not as harsh as ACV and the smell is more tolerable to me. I'd love to see a video once you've tried it.
Oh that's good to know ! Thanks for sharing ! I will give it a try !
Where did you get the coconut vinegar? Whole foods?
@@curli-lettey4319 I bought it at a local health food store. I believe Whole Foods should have it. If not, Amazon probably does.
I love your hair is beautiful and I will definitely stop using a comb so much.
Thank you ! Yes, it can make a huge difference !
Your hair is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey. It really helps to inspiring.
Thank you so much ! 💕
We have similar texture. The same thing happened to me re: ACV. I used it and then, all of a sudden, it made my hair brittle. I think the hair just needs a break. I stopped using it for several years. Now I use it just a few times a year.
Your are beautiful, your hair is gorgeous and is MY GOALS!!!, I'm following ALL of your tips and I already see results! Thank you so much😘 New subbie❤❤❤

@@UnivHairSoleil3 When I said Ms.Sahel is the founder. I was saying she is the one who made the Chebe powder known through out the world. She is from Chad Africa what the powder is used by the tribal women they have beautiful long hair.
It's been a staple in Chad Africa for centuries, many tribes has use the powder she has made it known through out other parts of the world.
Check her out, you can read her story. I use the Chebe power in a mixture and I have seen tremendous growth and it keep moisture in my hair which keep my hair from breaking and assist in the growth.
Ms.Sahel's website is as follows: www.sahelcosmetics.com
Thank you for your hair journey. Your hair is beautiful to look at. My hair was stuck at just above armpit length for nearly two years now, using rice water, from since October 2018 has helped me get to armpit length and just past it. My stables are castor oil which I have added MSM, aloe vera juice and gel henna and cassia, Fenugreek, green tea plus wild growth oil. I have started to spray rice water on my scalp twice daily and that has really made a difference.
Do you wash the rice water our if your hair when you use it daily? If not does it start you smell?
@@felisahyman1248 I deep condition with rice water and put a conditioner on top of my hair. The rice water I put my hair daily, is mixed with aloe vera juice, fenugreek and green tea and I store it in the fridge, so it does not smell.
@@valeriesmith15 I deep condition with it as well, same as you do. Ok. Will def try this daily spray. Rice water has helped my hair so much with shedding
Good job, you now have more mane than a horse has tail. Keep up the great work. Your hair is beautiful!!

UnivHair Soleil awesome 👏🏻
Love love the video and the tips and by the way 💁♀️your hair is very beautiful keep the good work up❗.👏🏻👍
Congrats!!! You’ve done well its not easy to grow hair i have medium natural length.... it’s possible to have long hair but it takes consistency...
I always love your videos🙌🏾 very inspirational 💕
Thank you sis ! 💕💕
I absolutely agree with you on finger detangling. I even use my fingers to part the hair. It grew more!!
About acv: If your hair feels brittle or hard use with a creamy conditioner. That will remedy the hardness
Yes apple cider vinegar can dry hair that's why I don't use often .Maybe you can try wine vinegar or the kinds you mentioned. But I would use very little. It's not like you really need vinegar you have already achieved your length and it is simply beautiful. 😊
I tried rice vinegar, it was a little bit drying but not too much compared to apple cider vinegar. I avoid using vinegar on my hair now. 🙂
You have a very pretty accent. I love your gorgeous hair. Thanks for the tips. ❤
I didn't know Coconut Vinegar was a thing....
I love your twist! Pretty Girl!👏👏👏
Thank you so much !
I don’t even know where to start to take care of my hair with her videos. There’s so many good videos she has. I think I will begin with the onion decoction. I guess with the apple cider vinegar, your scalp was strong enough to take the vinegar. But now your scalp is on a different level, stronger so apple cider can’t handle it anymore.
hope your journey is going well so far 🌸
Your hair looks beautiful/incredible 🥰
Thank you so much ! 😘
You remind me of another youtuber from around 2012 orso ik think her name was shera.. she also had her own hair product and tailbone length hair....wish i could find her to show you.❤
I find that white vinegar is really good for cleaning the scalp and getting rid of dandruff. You have to dilute it with water.
Very great and helpful video!!! Very thorough!!
If you use an apple cider vinegar continuously like that you not diluting it yes it can begin to make your hair brittle and it gets your hair out a pH balance versus pH balancing your hair. You can also mix it with fresh aloe vera juice I add a couple essential oils and I use in a few different ways I do not use it every week.
Would love to see you try other vinegars
Yes I will ! 😍
Nice, her hair is super long
Yeap ❤the key is learning and some are very consistent. Some people do nothing to their hair and it just grows. Where others usevall kinds of products or natural herbs for growth. I just take care of mines the same way you do and keep it twisted.
Can you show me the length of your hair before you started this hair growth journey?
I would only use AC once a month. The oh balance of your hair changes with apple cider, also dilute with water. Try Aloe leaf to mosturize your hair.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing your tips and experiences.
New subster! 💜
I feel that the apple cider vinegar brittle effect is due to the hair becoming imbalanced ph wise. So your hair is probably becoming more acidic. So maybe ease up on the apple cider vinegar and other ph related remedies. Thank you so much for your channel! You are truly an inspiration!!!! Thank you and be blessed!🙏🏾🙏🏾😍
Just found and subscribed to your channel. I found all the tips useful and will be giving them a go. Thank you so much. Your hair is beautiful xx

Thank you so much ! 😍
Me too..I just feel in love after watching your video and I subscribed 😃
Wow! Such beautiful hair!
You may need to Clarify your hair and then go back to ACV. I use "Neutrogena" about every 6 months and it make your hair squeaky clean and removes any buildup that gets inside the stand. After that I go back to my all natural or organic cleansers like. Wow, I need to get my yoga stretching on. Thanks for sharing.
I think apple cider vinegar makes our hair brittle because we're only supposed to use it two times per week
I would not use vinegar. Maybe a hot oil treatment and a good moisturizer...
Bonjour! Merci pour le vidéo! Peut-être tu as un problème avec ACV parce que votre cheveux est plus familier avec il et c’est le temps a continuer avec quelques chose différent...oui-essayer rice wine vinegar! Moi, Je ne l'ai pas essayé, mais le devrais à l'avenir. Je n'ai jamais pensé à l'utiliser!
But anyway, thank you so much for sharing your journey and how you care for your beautiful hair.
You're welcome !
I use clove and rosemary oil and I still have dandruff in my sculp. Any help on that
Try to use regular vinegar. It fights dandruff like a beast 😊
I am in my 60's and have always had long hair. It is currently down to 3 inches from my butt. I have had hair that long for at least 10-15 years. I don't use a lot on my hair. My problem is thin hair. I rarely wear it down and it is natural. I want to try something new to thicker my hair up. Will onion help this.
Onion, Amla, Fenugreek seeds, Henna. Henna deposits the dye into your hair shaft causing it to get thicker and stronger with time. Amla and Fenugreek can help not only with the number of hair follicles but also the number of hairs produced by the follicles. You can drink amla juice and apply it on your scalp. You can also drink fenugreek water and apply it in your scalp.Onion strengthens hair and prevents breakage.
You can watch Curly Proverbz videos Henna, Amla, Fenugreek and onion.
My beauty. You know I love your channel and all the helpful information that you share. Love the intro : )
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment ! 😘
You have the best videos
Yes, the apple cider vinegar with a bit drying for my hair.I diluted a little more.2tbs. 3cups of water.I was using too strong a solution before.Your hair is beautiful,by the way.!
Nice hair.
Use Baking Soda solution if the ACV is not working.
I want to see a video with some whose hair was not already long or of a finer texture...
Before I forget gotta say love your twists too cute ( now back to the video ) Honestly gotta say again gorgeous hair periodttt! I'm glad you didn't get caught up in the lie about genetics being a hindrance to hair growth. Same as the lie that our hair's not alive, when she very much is. Since many women come to the point of cutting their hair due to exactly this. I do want to add that finger detangling is NOT necessary. The key is in the use of the correct tools. It shouldn't take you longer than 15 mins max to fully detangle your hair. Regardless of how much of it you have on your head. Plus you can also create your detangling mixture. Which will even cut that time in half, and make sure that your time for detangling is extremely quick. With all this hair there has NEVER been anytime I've finger detangled. Just don't have that kinda patience, and I'm glad because that's how I knew the correct tools to use. Not to mention our hair's main job is to protect our skull. So it has to be extremely strong to be appointed that gig to begin with. Due to this heat is also not something necessary to shy away from. If used correctly which would again consist of the correct tools. Plus not being used continuously then there should be no issues. I'm also happy to see that you added nutrition, and exercise into the mix. Since I'm in the medical field I can tell you the main reason that most have issues with hair growth. Simply happens to be due to their body displaying that they have issues with their ( HEALTH ) A lack of the PROPER nutrition is usually the main reason for this. Thanks for another great video. 📕 Girl you always get me on here writing mini novella's 😁
I have 4c low porosity hair. It takes more than 15 minutes to detangle 🤣
I have 4c low porosity hair. It takes more than 15 minutes to detangle 🤣
@@victorysampson Then you don't have the correct tools. If you did that wouldn't be an issue for you periodttt 😄
Shelly Reynolds, what are the correct tools?
@@deinfakio3775 Whatever tools work best for your hair, would be the correct tools for you to use. If you experience shedding, or breaking then you know that's not the correct tool for you. The only way you'll know is to become familiar with your OWN hair. What works for some won't work for everyone.
You're so beautiful! Thanks for the tips :)
It would be nice to see your hair in twist more and have a video on your twist styles. I just started wear twist to grow my hair and retain my length.

Thank you so much for your story. It told me everything I need to do. I'm going to do this plus add ayurvedic herbs like henna, fenugreek, amla, etc. to strengthen my hair. I really need to bite the bullet and finger detangle. But thank you again.
Apple cider vinegar has a lot of acid, wouldn't acid eat and dry out? Its interesting that you have noticed and admitted about vinegar. So many say it's such a good thing. We have to be careful on what and how we clean our hair because we can clean out some of whatever is essential to the life in our hair.
I wanna do twists...but...the rumor out there about me is that I may be too lazy? I need a way to do quick twists. Maybe larger ones!
Yes, I understand. Sometimes, I do twists in just 30 minutes but they are bigger. 😉
Had you been diluting the ACV? It has to be in the safe zone in order to be used safely.
Yes I had been diluting the ACV since the beginning.
Perhaps as your hair grew and became stronger and more healthy, it changed a bit. Maybe you should add less ACV (than what you were adding before). Maybe your hair doesn’t need as strong a solution as you were using before.
If you figure out why acv affects your hair differently now, please update us! I thought it may have been a change of your hair's porosity, but that doesn't make too much sense, because you don't use heat, hair tools, or techniques that would damage your strands and lift the cuticles. That's interesting.
That's actually true
Challenge accepted I will try these tips for a year.
You are beautiful 💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thanks for tips
Thank you so much sis ! 💕🙏🏾
So you mean to tell me I can grow a very low hair cut to a tail bone length may be within a few years?. I currently use fenugreek with henna, alma, olive oil and coconut oil. Which regimen is better?
Yes you can. I've seen people who have locked their hair while short and grown it long. You can grow your hair long loose as well. You don't have to lock it to grow. Fenugreek, Amla and Henna are excellent for hair growth. Watch Curly Proverbz, Indigenous Strandz and Green Beauty as well. You'll learn a lot from their channels.
Wow this will totally help me and change my life ❤️
Maybe ur hair porosity has changed why the acv isn’t working anymore....
🤔😮did not knew that was possible
Ever Smile yes porosity can definitely change say if your hair starts off as damaged as your hair becomes healthy it can change how it holds moisture
Jeesh........you cant have a fulltime job doing all this!
Do your hair on your off day..
