Great tips, my hair is almost waist length and ive grown mine out for almost 5 yrs. Def agree with thr fact that the longer you grow it out for the harder it is to tell the difference. Id say for anyone who wants long hair, like she said, you have to think in terms of years, not months or days. Like as far as 5 year or 10 year increments for some serious long hair.
LOVE this video, and videos like this is SO important! The fact that you are focusing on growing healthy long hair instead of "just" long hair is great + explaining that it takes time. It seems like some people want it to happen over night. It is beyond important to understand that big, great things take long time :)
My goal is tailbone length. It is currently between bsl and mid back. I do have lots of shorter hairs from layers I had about 2 years ago. I got so happy when my hair finally grew past my nipples! I currently use shikakai, aritha, and brahmi to wash my hair. Also a rye flour wash is a good way to add protein to your hair. I do s&d and sometimes it seems like I am trimming split ends on the same hairs each time although I doubt it lol.
I like your natural/no poo approach. :) All of those herbs are so good for the hair! i have never tried a rye wash but heard good things about it. Happy to hear you are working hard on your goal length.
When I was a 10/12 I had a classic length wavy hair and it was so stunning but my parents always struggled to take care so I had to cut it, now I'm at college and growing my hair again, this time knowing how to take care. Also, I'm so happy to find people with really long hair! I feel like every time I talk about really long hair people don't like it and honestly, I don't know why, it's so pretty and I feel like a princess, also I feel like having (at least curly/wavy) short hair takes more time than long hair. Your hair it's so pretty! very inspiring!
Just started doing the split end trimming, and it has made a world of difference. My current length is 43 inches, I really want it colored, but I am terrified of the potential damage. My goal length is knee length, maybe just wait till then lol
Great work Antonia...you are such a kind and sharing person. Of course you have so much credibility on the subject....one look at your hair tells the story! ♥
I am from South Africa and I love your beautifull long hair and the way you treat your hair. I am male and I have long hair, sort of below shoulder length but not in such good condition. Have a lovely day
I haven't even trimmed my hair in already two and half years probably closer to three. I always blow dry my hair because I hate having wet hair and living in the UK I'm in a cooler climate. My hair is growing just fine I'm at waist length.
Very helpful tips, I agree the best things is avoiding heat. I have a request on how do you deal with thinning ends? My hair is classic length, but hair ends are thin. Also what type of hair brush or combs do you use? Thank you :-)
Hi Lisa, and thank you! Congrats on classic length, I know that takes many years to achieve! So thin ends could be caused by a few factors: 1. It could be damange (in this case trimming is the only way to fix it) 2. Could be gentic, some people's hair naturally tappers into fairy tail ends and it's hard from them to have a straight blunt cut, in this case u and v shaped hemlines add shape and thickness, could be due to illness (often thyroid/hormonal/endocrine and auto immune conditions (regular check ups are good) and lastly it could be you are nearing terminal (hair gets naturally thinner and starts to tapper when one has reached terminal, hopefully this is not the case so you can keep growing. I suggest getting small micro trims slowly to thicken up the ends over time. I wouldn't trim any more off than an half inch off at time so you can still grow your hair. I usually get two half inch trims a year. If you are trying to thicken up ends maybe do 3 or 4 quarter inch to half inch trims until you reach desired thickness. And as always checking your health with your doctor is important because it could be something medical. Also oil is a great for protecting ends. In the winter I like to use jojoba and argan oil on wet hair. After your shower the wet hair will seal in moisture. Good luck and happy growing!
Hi Jamie, my one brush is part nylon part boar and the other one has nylon bristles. Bass also makes a brush that has wooden bristles. Nylon is my favorite. 🙂 ❤️
Aw thanks Amy! 💚🌿 Boar bristle brushes are great for distributing oils and shine, but I do not find them the best for detangling. Boar mixed with nylon are great brushes! I also love wooden brushes. All the best on your journey 🌿💚
You are very welcome! This is an older video, thinking of making an updated version of my haircare tips for long hair. My favorite shampoo and conditoner is from Aquableu! I love their lavender vanilla shampoo and conditoner. I have a discount code ANTONIA15 as well 💜
I just looked it up, looks great! Aveda is a great salon brand and the brush looks good quality. See if they make one with half boar half nylon teeth, I find the nylon/boar combo to be the best. 👌
Blandine M I use scrunchies. They are soft and non damanging. I also switch up my braid tails. Sometimes I secure with a short tail, medium tail, and my favorite long tail. Its good to change up the positioning of your braid scrunchies. Also if you do buns alternate between high, medium, and low buns. Same with ponytails. High ponytails become difficult at longer lengths, I usually stick with low ponytails because of less pulling.
Hi :) if someone's hair is really damaged. I have hormone issues so my hair just grows thin and dead. Is it better to do one big chop to start again or to keep trimming the ends off? I know if I do the big chop it'll take forever to get back to this length, however growing thin, lifeless hair isn't ideal either :/
@@naturallyantonia Thank you :) Do you mind me asking how old you are? Just in reference to taking a decade to grow your hair. I often see these videos done by women in their early twenties, meaning they started growing their hair as a teenager. While I'm still young (late twenties) I do worry that starting a hair journey going into my thirties won't be as successful as earlier years due to growth hormones and well everything seems to be easier physically when you're younger as your whole body is still growing.
I'm 30. 🙂❤️ Yes my hormones are changing and my growth has slowed down a little but its all good. I had originally started in my teens way before youtube and I knew everything I knew and my hair was damanged. Then when I was 20 I started over again. Wish you well in your journey ✌️ 💕 long hair is beautiful at all ages
@@naturallyantonia I love ur hair and I’ve been following ur videos from a really long time Also ur voice is soft so it’s nice to listen….thank you for the videos Please make a video on what u do when you experience shedding or hair loss …it maybe helpful ♥️❤️🪴
You have very beautiful, thick and healthy long hair 😍😍😍. Are you growing it longer? How much longer? Btw, can i make a request? Can you post a video on 1) how to make a bun without using any hair accessories 2) about your hair history/timeline? Just a compilation of old photos would be nice Thanks a lot! 😘
djqruqnu Thank you! Your hair is very beautiful too, I just checked out your channel! I want to grow to terminal but have it look healthy. So I would def love to see how long it gets. I think knee to ankle would be maintenance length. The only bun I know you can do without accessories is the nautulis bun, but my hair is very slippery and silky so its hard to stay. And yes I can do a video about my hair history. :)
Antonia Miranda thankss but that hair was more than a year ago 😣😣😣!! Right now my hair's kind of thin at the ends as a result of a severe hairfall problem. Right now I'm in a phase of recovering my hair health back so that it will be as healthy and thick as it was before. I'm gonna maintain my hair at waist length to get back the desired thickness and health by then I'm gonna grow it back to my desired length. Ohh yeaa btw my desired length is also knee length 😂😂.
W.u. mean know your genetics, how would u know? I have a great aunt that had almost floor length hair when I was young and her daughter had knee length..my great aunt was my grandma's sister, BUT my grandmother's kept their hair short, so did my mom, I HAVE no siblings so not exactly sure how I'd know..my mom had a sister who died in her 20s and her hair was almost waist length..but my hair is thin, it is growing.. I haven't dyed my hair in bout 2 yrs..i use oil on my dry hair and try to wash only once or twice a week..MY hair has never been thick!!
Roughly ten years with plenty of trims. My hair is shorter now, I cut back to tailbone length. You can check out my ten year hair journey video to see it grow. 💜
This video is a couple years old and some of my tips have changed slightly. Would you be interested in an updated video? ✌️ 💕
Yes please!

Real Rapunzels Thank you! Yes it's very important to keep it healthy as well as your models know and demonstrate. And long hair is a way of life.
i just got bangs and cut 5 inches off, now I am binge watching hair channels. Love your videos !! :)
My goal is tailbone length. It is currently between bsl and mid back. I do have lots of shorter hairs from layers I had about 2 years ago. I got so happy when my hair finally grew past my nipples!

Most honest video I have ever seen, searched a lot but didn't find honest opinion on hair growth, god bless you, thank you 🙏
Wow I always thought you had the prettiest hair Antonia. Thanks for always being an amazing friend. I miss you lots.
When I was a 10/12 I had a classic length wavy hair and it was so stunning but my parents always struggled to take care so I had to cut it, now I'm at college and growing my hair again, this time knowing how to take care.

Aww thank you so much! And thanks for sharing your story. That's super sweet! All the best in your academic studies and hair growing journey. 🙏❤️

Same here!! But not the 43 inches part, I cut off a lot of my hair and its about 22 inches. Hopefully, I'll be able to grow healthy longer hair
Great work Antonia...you are such a kind and sharing person. Of course you have so much credibility on the subject....one look at your hair tells the story! ♥
Bill M Thanks Bill! :)
My hair is just past my mid back, I’m so jealous of your hair.
Aww no need to be jealous, I actually just had a hair cut. I'm back to tailbone. You will get there. Keep it going ❤️👍

I can’t wait until my hair gets this long :D
I haven't even trimmed my hair in already two and half years probably closer to three. I always blow dry my hair because I hate having wet hair and living in the UK I'm in a cooler climate. My hair is growing just fine I'm at waist length.
Happy to hear thar is working for you. Some of my tips I disagree with them now because this is an older video. We all have different hair needs. :)
I actually decided on a small trim after watching your video and my ends feel better for it 😊
Beautiful hair sis!!
Thank you 💜🌜
I wash once a month, but I keep it braided and tucked under a scarf, so no one ever sees it greasy.
I'm also growing out my hair and I trim mine every 3 months and cut 1/2 inch off each time. My hair just needs it.
Right on! 🙂 ❤️ All the best!
Thank you!
Love your hair thank you for the tips! Could you share where you got your wooden brush from?
Cherokeegummybear Thank you. I bought my wooden brush at Whole Foods. I also have a wooden comb I bought at Sprouts.

Hi Lisa, I use a plastic wide tooth comb, a wooden brush, and a boar bristle brush.
Hello
Is your bass wooden brush boar bristle or plastic with the knobs on the ends? Thanks!
Hi Jamie, my one brush is part nylon part boar and the other one has nylon bristles. Bass also makes a brush that has wooden bristles. Nylon is my favorite. 🙂 ❤️
Love your hair!! My hair in back is down to my bra line & I would love it to be to my waist! Do you recommend a boar bristle brush?
Aw thanks Amy! 💚🌿
Boar bristle brushes are great for distributing oils and shine, but I do not find them the best for detangling. Boar mixed with nylon are great brushes! I also love wooden brushes. All the best on your journey 🌿💚
Thank you for your details & honesty....it is beautiful, my hair is damaged sooo tangled,,THANK YOU What do use for shampoo,,?
You are very welcome! This is an older video, thinking of making an updated version of my haircare tips for long hair. My favorite shampoo and conditoner is from Aquableu! I love their lavender vanilla shampoo and conditoner. I have a discount code ANTONIA15 as well 💜
Do you think the Aveda wooden hair brush is as good?
I just looked it up, looks great! Aveda is a great salon brand and the brush looks good quality. See if they make one with half boar half nylon teeth, I find the nylon/boar combo to be the best. 👌
Thanks for sharing your tips, they are very helpful! How do you secure your braid? I used to do it with an elastic but it killed my ends :/
Blandine M I use scrunchies. They are soft and non damanging. I also switch up my braid tails. Sometimes I secure with a short tail, medium tail, and my favorite long tail. Its good to change up the positioning of your braid scrunchies. Also if you do buns alternate between high, medium, and low buns. Same with ponytails.

How can you tell when your hair stops growing? Like do i have to wait 5 years to confirm its not growing any more?
you have pretty hair.
Nice tips
Thank you very much for watching! I am thinking of making an updated version! ❤️

Is it weid that I am a boy and wish i had long enough hair to do a braid just like that.
That's cool! You have to do what makes you happy. Also I love Toyota, I drive a matrix. 🚗♥️
@@naturallyantonia thanks, and your hair is very beautiful
Could you possibly talk about some classic length hair styles that guys could wear?
In one of your videos
That's a great idea!
