J Crawford Thank you so much! Do you know if you suppose to rinse out the hair mayo? I didn't know you leave deep conditioner in and then apply product
It’s a lot of bitter Betty’s in this comment section 🙄 don’t be mad sis! Take some vitamins, get your water intake up, and stop hating on the next queen! Everyone’s hair is capable of growing with proper TLC! Keep shining love your hair is gorgeous! 💋
Honestly I can understand why people are annoyed, hair grows differently for people, and utubers take advantage of that. It is hard to tell who is genuine about products helping their hair grow. My hair grows so fast, literally a centimeter a month, without product or all this fuss. I too can start a channel and lie about how I got my hair.
Thank you for speaking up about the negative comments. We women need to learn to support and compliment one another more but being sincere. It takes maturity at any age for that . It also makes you feel better to show kindness and love towards others. EVERYONE has struggles in life This is why we all need Jesus to help us. . Renew our mind. We cant just stop on our own. Hiding behind computers and spitting out hate is not the way to get rid of envy ,hate,bitterness and jealousy. Be thankful that we can obtain free information that can be helpful. Be your best and blessed. She is sincerely trying to help others. It takes time to put tigether videos. Pay or no pay it takes a lot and a kindness to want to share.
It isn't growth that's the issue. It's RETAINING LENGTH. Everyone is capable of growing hair but a lot of girls with kinky hair do hair styles (leaving in weaves too long, tight extensions etc.) and add chemicals (perms, extreme heat etc.) to their hair that causes the head to lose hair faster than the rate at which it's growing. Stop making your buns and ponytails too tight, let your hair breathe every once in a while! Moisturize your hair regularly with butters and natural oils like Jamaican black caster oil, olive oil, argan oil, coconut oil. This applies to twists, braids, AND box braids especially. Box braids are ONLY a protective style when you moisturize them weekly and wash your hair every 1-3 weeks. Otherwise your hair under will be a dry dirty mess with lots of BREAKAGE and THINNING! (I learned the hard way). And 4 type hair girls please have patience. Our extremely tight curls have shrinkage that makes our length very hard to visualize.
First of all i dont believe u are a ugly girl. Beauty is beyond looks. That being said u have spoken the plain straight true about our hair. & how we mistreat it by not keeping it moisturize, twists etc. U are very knowledgeable about the hair. & thanks for the encouragement fot us 4C type girls. Your comments is one of the best true i have seen in a long time. Keep it up. U are very savvy smart. Pretth girl.!grace to all. Gail Hopkins
I grew up my hair butt length in a year. but it was shoulder length before that. Just keep it tucked and nice and moisturized. Our hair loves to be treated like a queen, because it's our crown.😊 just treat our hair nicely, no pulling and pushing. No tight braids period!! I swear tight braids will take it off of your scalp.Won't make it grow, but will replace the old hair by taking it out of your scalp.... If I'm feeling braids, I do it by my self just loose and nice. That's all. Oh and keep the scalp clean. It works on everybody.
Yessssss sis! You’re 100% right. Hence why all the likes. I tought I was alone in this theory but it seems many of us are learning the hard way. They feed us bullshit so we can keep buying fake hair chemicals etc I have 4c hair. When I was ten I had long thick strong luxury hair. My mum used her mums natural care hair routine and I was sick of the oil and braids and wanted to relax and look like my friends. My mum finally let me and I was doing that until 24 . But my hair stopped growing. It still looked healthy but that was youth. Then keratin treatments came out and I started doing them and my hair started growing again. I didn’t look after my hair but it grew and I guess by default I went natural but I didn’t exactly look after my hair. I let my my hair be but I never box braided or tied it hard. Or wore any hairs I just let it BE and it grew halfway down my back which was the most. THIS WAS WITHOUT ME CARING FOR IT MOSTURISING ETC - then after ten years for some stupid reason and life problems I just had one of those stupid moments and relaxed it again. Biggest mistake. First I wasn’t young anymore and my hair did not like relaxing. And why was very annoying is when you start relaxing you have to keep doing the new roots. Then I started getting white hair and I dyed I black. Worse mistake of my life. I remember my hair literally falling out and breaking off. I was so mortified. After that I did not put anything on my hair. Not even shampoo: onky natural stuff like coconut oil. As the roots grew I started reading about “protective” hair styles like box braid and wigs and weave. MISTAKE NUMBER THREE I wasted my money going to salons. I tried every protective style from Box braids to frontals until I noticed in six months my edges have fallen out: The stylist told me the braid were too tight. I was mad because I was getting contradictory advice about braids and weave and how thick and when to wash. I relised the had way fake hair damages your hair. NOW IM NATURAL NATURAL I only use Gods earth pure coconut oil or Cheba powder or T444z which is for treating hair loss and bold hair and has a mix of castor oil peppermint etc. My new growth is coming out THICK AND STRONG AND FAST. The old hair I remember when I was ten and my mum would be tugging. I almost want to cry and relised it’s not ageing etc....it’s just so simple as this sister is saying. Stop anything unnatural. Stop heat, chemicals, dyeing, relaxing, wigs, weave, braids ALL DAMAGE YOUR hair. All you need is a moisturiser. Pure like coconut oil. Comb daiky slowly and don’t pull hard. Let it dry naturally. EVEN WEARING A SCARF AT NIGHT is a liability if you tie it to hard. You cut off the blood and you have headaches. I come from a North African family wth 4c hair. Most of us aunties and cousins have exceptionally long hair till THIER knees! They used to be called Indians at school. But my grandma use to do one thing from them Every night. Mix olive oil and lots of natural oils they call KARKAR and like chad woman of Africa they oil THIER hair every night and tie into buns. They only took off the buns when they went out which they hardly did because they lived in a cut of village. Conclusion Stop playing with your hair Moisturiser daily at night. Use so much oil even if it hate it. Get used to it. Brush slowly bottom up. Don’t brush while it’s wet. Wash once every week and half. Make sure you buy a filter shower if the water in your area is not good. Leave your hair alone. Anything fake or man made you put in your hair stops growth. Every braids. It’s a hard transition if you live for your wigs but if you are mentally ready for nature this is my own experience and advice Better you wear your own long hair. I used I be so stupid and sea weaves and wigs that are as long as my own hair! Thanks you sis for sharing: I thought I was the only one who came to your conclusion Respect your hair and your hair will respect you. I. Believe in my heart wearing fake hair wigs damages your hair. Your hair doesn’t like it. Your hair needs your love. Not you loving on fake hair u
This is completely possible! I started a routine like this in 2017 when my hair was very short, and now my hair is down my back! The key is never skipping more than one week and being consistent. You can do it ladies!
Are u pure african or mixed like her ? Because i think for pure african hair with all the shrinkage and stuff we can't do that every week or maybe I'm wrong but majority of pure African like myself can't do this every week
@@supereee7 wait a minute 😱 like black girls can do our haircare routine every week without problems ? And the hair grows ? 😱 please what's tour hair porosity ?
As a child, my mother did not take care of my hair so I never learned. My hair was always thin and short. Within the last 3 yrs. I began reading about taking care of Black hair. I learned a few things and stopped brushing my hair so much and incorporated hair moisturizing daily lotion with weekly shampoo & conditioner. I saw results. Slow, but results just the same. Now, I know more about leave-in conditioner. Your video taught me even more. Now I know I'm on the right track. Thank you so much for sharing with us that don't half know what we are doing! LOL! God bless!
Also garlic is great for hair growth. It is packed with minerals and nutrients that helps with growing your hair. Place it on the scalp and go to sleep with it on your hair. Then wake up and wash it out. Scrub the garlic through out the hair. Leave it in like a leave in conditioner.
Yessssss each persons hair is like a fingerprint. Its that unique. Its sooo cool to watch vids and get suggestions but learning our hair is still our responsibility and you did that. My hair is not long at all but its extremely healthy cause i finally learned what my hair and scalp requires. Its a beautiful thing! Congrats to you!!!!
Honestly 😩 I have a friend with really long hair but every time i say “i wish i had hair like yours.” she always says “Thank you, but it’s to much sometimes.”
I would recommend Mane 'n Tail conditioner. The day after I used it, I grabbed my hair to put into a pony tail and was jarred by the thickness that I acquired overnight. I couldn't believe it. Now I'm hooked. I used both the shampoo and conditioner, although I'm not that fond of the shampoo. My hair has grown considerably, visibly in two months. Also, an unexpected surprise is the strength and beauty of my nails. Rubbing my scalp in that conditioner has had other effects and I love it. So, give it a try. The cheapest is at Walmart. Give us an update in two months :-D
One of my cousins grew her hair super fast in a year because she stop putting heat on it that whole year. Her hair is the same length as this woman’s hair & my cousin is fully black. It is possible. Don’t be so pessimistic lol
@@NaiveOldhead I understand what you're trying to say but that was super duper offencive just because somebody is fully black does not mean that their hair cannot grow as long as a white person or a Spanish person Etc I think that's something that the media portrays about black people but it's not true at all you can go to parts of Africa and people have long hair all the way to their legs please take several seats
giiirl !!! I googled "Aunt jackie's Grapeseed & avocado oil" and found it on Amazon and saw that it was frequently bought with the Shea Moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in and the As I Am doublebutter cream. wow our sisters must have listened to your recommandations. think I will do the same :)
The Aunt Jackie's Not On My Watch is the BEST detangler I have ever used. I have two jars of the As I am Double Butter Cream under my bed unopened. Need to crack those bad boys open...LOL!
Did anybody who commented genetics realize it took her pretty much 5 years to get here? 😂 (2013-2018) this wasn’t over night , her committing herself to drinking water , doing her routine and eating healthily is what got her here, genetics played a very little role here.
I totally agree! Genetics reasoning is a copp out this gives the lazy person an out by reasoning that ppl who work hard have what they have by birth. What a slap in the face. Cause my hair started at 1/2" on top bald faded on the sides and back. Now 16mos later i have 5" of hair from hours of watching vid suggestions; sampling products; messaging my scalp; oiling washing twisting WORK WORK WORK
There are ALOT of people on the internet that claim you can grow hair overnight and also genetics does come into play with a lot of things. I don't agree 100% that it defines EVERYTHING of course, but it's not their fault.
I stated that genetics played a very little role in this, not that it didn’t have a role. you can’t be you without genetics so I’m sure they do play a role in almost everything or everything. I understand there are a lot of people who act like it’s possible to grow hair over night but to comment your assumptions and opinions is always a choice. you can think whatever you want, I’m just saying don’t try to knock her hustle by discrediting her tips because you assumed her mixed genes got her there. and when I say you, I’m not referring to you, it’s just an example.
Yikes, sorry for all of the people who have nothing better to do than to post negativity on your video. My daughter is mixed and her hair had been severely damaged by heat processing to the extreme. I haven't seen her hair grow past her shoulders in 8 years. She is really struggling with it. Hair length and health has to do with how we treat our hair, not genetics. Mixed or not, using crazy amounts of heat, tight hairstyles, excessive chemicals and not moisturizing will prevent hair from growing and keep it unhealthy. I don't know why people assume these videos should just be for 4C naturals. Um, black people with other textures exist too...hello!? People will always find something to criticize. Thanks for the video. I like your lack of product junkism. Keep it simple.
Stop calling your child 'mixed'. she is a human being and not 'mixed' or 'black' or 'white' or anything else just because she and her parents are not Hollywood or white supremacist ideals or stereotypes... She is a normal child and nothing else. Welcome to 2018. Her hair is her hair and individual as anyones hair. Some peoples hair grow fast, others slow... With people I mean all people in the world! All!
Child that is nonsense. Social and cultural identifiers don't mean we aren't human beings anymore. It means we have ethnic and social group backgrounds that contribute to our identity. Yes, some people use it as a reason to oppress others, yet we can also use it to unify with eachother over common background, experience and ancestry. As you gain in maturity you will begin to understand why that is important. My MIXED race daughter wants to give acknowledgement to the multiple ancestral backgrounds that influence her and are apart of who she is.
No offence. Did not meant to attack you. Want you to open your eyes.This is usually a result of wrong education. Those social indicators are not helpful at all. If you choose 'races' and 'being different' from other humans like so called 'whites', you choose racism! You promote racism. Then you should not complain about discrimination. Two races are never equal... Matter of fact! Here it comes: Races do not exist among humans. (that is the real reason why we are all equal!). So why promoting this idea which is just causing harm and is not even true at the end? Saying your daughter is mixed doesn't tell anybody about her hair or hair grows. Black people do not have other genetics then white or all other people in the world. Your child can have straight or curly hair. She can be light skinned or dark skinned independent from her parents skin colour or origin. Furthermore curly hair in the terms of 'Afro curly' doesn't mean all those people have the same genetics or nonsense like slower hair grow! Even my sisters got different hair from me. One of them has extremely thick, dark black and a lot of hair and it grows like hell... IWe do not need this way of thinking that is supporting racism. With racism I mean discrimination and prejudice based on people's skin color. Google by yourself the following sentence and get some education: 'races do not exist, but racism does'... White supremacist abused evolution theories by Darwin and tried to define races among humans based on the way people look and to justify slavery and repression (Darwin was up set about it, because this was not what he tried to explain). Then science especially genetics disproved that you can divide humanity into race's. Just because we both have darker skin, doesn't make us more related to each other then to any other person 'black' or 'white'... Your kid is not mixed, because there are no pure humans!!! Might be a challenge for you to understand this. But this exactly shows a big difference between you and me and therefore again proof that just because we are sharing a few features we do not automatically have the same ability and spirit to overcome the shadows of the past and start appreciating real diversity... For example to understand how diverse all humans are! By
Liesj Deluxe yes girl ROUTINE is bomb. My hair has really grown and super healthy. I show all 100 teeth 😀 every time someone say "girl that's your hair" (lol that's how hard I smile like I really have that many teeth)
sllella gtlel First of all u edited it... 😂😂and it is called not callled and only 2 l’s not 3’s it’s caLLed grammar, learn it pleaseeee!, thank youuu 😋😋
I just wanted to say thank you so much! I’ve been natural all my life, but when I moved to America my hair just hated the water and weather here. So much breakage and stunted growth. This video helped me create a great hair routine! And I’ve retained so much length since I started doing your routine!! My hair feels so healthy now! And I can go 7 days without a wash and my hair still looks great by end of week! Thank you thank you thank you!
Truer words have not been spoken! Preach about that routine. Once I got a good routine down I started seeing the length BUT like you and other TH-cam people say "healthy hair over length".
Amber just ignore all the hate comments because you have beautiful hair!!!! thanks for making this video for us who want to so badly grow our hair naturally
Black hair has to be moisturizers. We also need to sit under that steam cap with the condition. This was a routine as a child, once per week. Folks started weaving and messing up their hair
That’s fast if your hair has been almost the same length for yeeears so yeah, I think it’s just having healthy hair habits what makes the difference, bad hair habits will delay the growth waaaay much.
Glad someone pointed this out, the average growth rate is 1/2inch a month sooo in 4 years her hair should be at least 24 inches which is about where it’s at. It is beautiful and healthy looking though
@@ronneis9720 you are so right. I'm two and a half years natural. I did the big chop and I have half the length that she has. It just blows my mind how some people hair multiples and grows down their back in such a quick time.
It’s so hard being consistent! I was consistent for two months straight then I just got tired lol but yes consistency hydration(water) oils, and a consistent regimen is key!! Lalalala love your hair!!!
Wow we have the same texture and yet your hair looks way better than mine but you have a system and I don't. I noticed when I started attempting to take care of my hair my curls that I thought I did not have started forming. I thought I was 4C but as my hair started growing and I started hydrating it more with sulfate free products my curl pattern started opening up and actually I believe I am now 3C - 4A. The hydration is key. I appreciate this video. I will adopt this system for myself.
Beautiful Amber... Yes Pre Pooing is legit!! I've been doing it consistently for 4yrs! And....Deep conditioning every single wash once a week or every other week!
Jennae Lorraine Once I pre poo I leave the oils in for about an hour to hour & a half...sometimes longer if I'm distracted cleaning in between getting my wash day done
I've been following your routine for about 2 months (using most of the products you shared and I've been seeing amazing results! My hair maintains it's moisture and it's growing. Thanks for sharing this video!
H Jay I have several. Curlyproverbz, Mahogany Curls, Naptural73. Those are my top tops tops. It's like you are mesmerized by the hair and for me also personalities. I see in them what I would love to fully cultivate in me. I see all of them (you are a new crush) as mentors.
Her: I put oil all over my head Me: goes to kitchen and gets olive oil Sister: what are you doing Me: showed her video Her: joins me My mum: what are you doing me:shows her video Mum: WRONG OIL me: no wonder my eyes were burn My sister oops to much I guess
Theres actually a certain hair treatment you can do once in a while that involves olive oil, coconut oil (the cooking kind), and eggs that makes your hair grow insanely quick (a few hours). I tried it and had about two inches of immediate growth. Im not really one for DIYs but I was feeling creative and after I tried it was in shock.
@@Strangerthanmost I pretty much followed this tutorial with the exact products she used😆 except I used a plastic bag and a hooded drier and I dont think I left the coconut oil in over night but I dont remember that well bc it was a long time ago😁 th-cam.com/video/fKKs7XI-xo0/w-d-xo.html
Hello...good day to u all. I just would love to tell u that Jesus loves you He saves and He cares for u There's nothing in this world to compare with the joy of knowing and accepting Jesus into your heart and life And nothing to compare with the glory that will soon be revealed in them who believe on Him- Heaven. To make heaven u have to accept Jesus and follow Him all d way, but to reject Him is to refuse peace, joy and everlasting life n happiness- in heaven. Pls choose Jesus today and your sins will be washed away and u will be totally a free and new man. Thanks and God bless u. Amen
For me I just keep my hair braided and put tea tree oil or vaseline in my hair and It grows my grandma used Vaseline and that woman's hair was long it really works
Idk why these "mixed" comments are a thing. Like honestly my boyfriend is natural, and 100% black. He takes care of it the same way and it looks almost the same. Not everyone has the same hair. If you're gonna make a comment on "ease" keep it at that. Her racial background isn't the only factor.
Don't isolate yourself. There are people who have been through what you might be facing right now and they overcame it. Don't push people away, surround yourself with people who are spiritually mature and get the help that you need. Isolation when you are in pain and don't know if there's a way out is dangerous and that's why we have suicide cases. Listen, there's nothing that you can be facing that God is not able to solve for with God nothing is impossible. Hold on. Jesus loves you.
My daughter has had this hair all her life length and texture ... She 1000% black....smh ignore them it's possible take DEVOTION!!! TLC and the want to see it healthy strong and long
@@kitap6447 sorry bit no 100% black has that type of hair..... Some black.European women has very long hair...even though they look 100% black they have mix arab genes...
thank you so much for being real and showing ur hair gets tangled and how much hair u lose. Other youtubers don't do that at all acting like they don't have those problems. I love you for that and I don't throw that word around
Hi! Just wanted to say I just found your channel, and I'm so grateful! I'm Russian and Kenyan and my hair type is pretty much exactly looking like yours, so I'm hoping your vids will help me grow my hair longer. Thanks!
My hair and my children's hair is a texture that most people adore, if it is short or long people compliment us on it. WE WERE BORN THAT WAY, these videos give people the impression that if you use these products and follow certain routines your outcome will be that of the person that is making the video. Most people that have long hair their hair naturally grow long, just being completely honest!
Just beautiful! I agree with you...when you commit to a routine, your hair can grow...am in Jamaica so U know how tropical we are and yea That's what most of us girls with natural hair does, we develop a routine and stick to it....gr8 video, TFS
You are my new favorite TH-camr. Love your accent, your hair gives me life, YOUR CONTENT, your personality 🙌🏼 keep up the amazing work. Not so new Subbie 💕
I started using aloe vera juice on my hair and it immediately loved it. After just the first use, my hair was super soft, but more importantly, my ends were smooth like I'd just gotten a fresh trim. It's a staple now.
@Daleene Korkadji you can buy alie juice from pretty much any food grocery store, and you can totally drink it, it tastes kinda bad but it's very good for your body
Nice video... but i personally think that genetics plays the biggest role in how fast a person hair grows. All else we do...such as your regimen just retains your fast growth.
Right, I've been natural since 2009 and my hair is not as long as Amber's. Also, age can be a factor as well. I'm an older curly. So I know at 40+ my hair is not going to grow as fast as it did in my 20's. Also Amber's is very thick. My hair is fine. Fine hair tends to be more fragile than thick hair. When you have fine hair, you have to handle it like a delicate fabric. Because the wrong product, or pulling the hair too tightly can cause breakage. Even wearing certain hats can mess with my edges. I definitely can't wear any hats that have wool in them.
Consistent routine and healthy diet are the main factors. As long as you do not have any vitamin deficiencies and you are consistent with a good regimen your hair will grow approximately 1/2 inch per month. Consistency is key and will produce Hair growth to be In 1 year approximately ear length. In 2 years approximately shoulder length. In 3 years approximately mid back length. In 4 years approximately waiste length. I’m over 40 and it worked for me.
La Donna I agree 100%. It's as if I wrote this comment myself. I've been natural about the same length of time as you, fine hair, over 40 and NO MAJOR GROWTH! And I sit here and watch these videos torturing myself thinking I will find something different. Its 85% Genetics and the rest we do. The 15% I do doesn't do much of anything. I gave up and just did a Diva cut for the spring/summer. Just like I'm a mother of 5 and I'm able to keep my weight down with no diet and no major workouts. Genetics! I got Michelle Obama arms. I get asked what's your arm workout routine. No routine. Genetics, Genetics, Genetics (genotype and phenotype)
I'm not saying it's impossible to grow your hair out if you're over 40. My hair is almost bra strap length. But it took a great deal of pampering my hair to achieve that length. I wear mostly protective styles. I don't manipulate my hair that much. I have to stay on top of keeping it moisturized. I have satin scarves, satin pillow cases, the whole nine yards.
Ms KSS you make a very valid point about having Michelle Obama arms but you don't work out. I have seen people with muscular bodies that don't work out but I lift weights and it's hard to define my arms. With that said, you all are right that genetics does play a role in rate of hair growth. I stand corrected and will now say that Having a consistent routine is important to obtain your PERSONAL best hair growth and retention. Thanks for your enlightening comments ladies. 😊
Keep your hair moist and detangled. That’s literally it. I don’t I’m lazy so mines grows slow. I kept my daughter with past shoulder length hair all her life with that simplicity. Think about what your mom used .. water, grease, and twisted lol. My toddler hair is growing good.. simply

My friend has a daughter with this hair ,cut it for one Christmas,above her shoulders,next Christmas child's hair has grown back , mum white dad black ,child mixed race ...it's very normal for this hair type to grow this fast...
Thank you for showing the shedding. I feel like so many of the videos on YT rarely show it or address it. My hair sheds like that too. I honestly thought something was wrong lol. But I know we lose dead hair strands everyday so your transparency is refreshing.
I sulfate wash, then condition (or hair mask) twice and in between I do an oil rinse on my ends (I have butt length wavy/curly hair, so it can use the oil). I also do the LOC/LCO method to end my wash routine. It's how I got my hair long. Moisture, moisture, moisture. I also weekly wash every Sunday.
Sergine Anaïs, for growing? In a sense, kind of. Because I have a scalp condition (seborrheic dermatitis aka SD) and it helps keep my scalp nice and clear of oils that feed the fungal overgrowth that is SD. I used to try and go sulfate-free and CO-wash and my scalp was an absolute mess (flaky, red, itchy), and a bad scalp does not exactly promote hair growth.
FINALLY someone with the same hair as me. I always see people who are mixed but their hair isn't quite like mine. I am part Puerto-Rican and it was so hard to find someone with hair like mine. DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBING!
Sameeee I have loose curls but a more frizzy texture I’m very unclear about my hair having high or low porosity I’ve done the rest but I still don’t quite get it
Thank u somebody who's actually honest about how tangled their hair is most people be like if it has tangles then it's nappy but no it means it's thick and that it needs to be combed out but that's not bad everybody has to do it
Hey!! Would you not prefer to buy "real" avocado and grapeseed oil at the health food/grocery store? You get ALOT more and you will also know that you are using 100% concentration of the oils.
Ok. This is the closest Ive ever seen to my hair with the 2 textures! I love your accent and sense of humor! :) great tips and some interesting looking products! I recently started a routine and vitamins and you're soooo right it makes a huge difference and my hair is growing like a weed! Lol consistency really is key! I think I'm gonna try heat more with DC too cause like you...my hair likes it... So, more #netflix LOL!
When you said it takes my hair 25 years to dry I almost died!!!!! I feel your pain so much I instantly hit the subscribe button. I was like here is a sista who definitely feels my biracial curly hair struggle!!!!
Try rice water! It also moisturizes your hair as it grows. It also makes good curl patterns! Just use some Cantu to keep it moist for a REALLY long time
Amber you hair is so beautiful after you wash it! My daughter has the same type of hair as you, but she hates to keep her out, rather have it in braids.
Vicki aka Saugeen29 tell her it takes time to really learn/love our hair, her hair sounds GORGEOUS 😍 could you ask her to leave it out for a day and hopefully this will help her to leave it out more often also braids can break the hair in due time if your strands are not thick/coarse and even then the hair can still break also it's good to embrace your thick curly hair you'll feel so liberated and It feels amazing I should know I did the big chop I have a buzz cut LML Hoped this helps God bless
Me saw thumb nail: how did you grow your hair in 5 days Her: people don't even ask me about my name and they are like how did you grow your hair so fast Me: ummm...😅😃
Genetics + healthy body + good diet + lifestyle + personalized hair routine & trims=HEALTHY HAIR which should be the primary goal. YOUR length will follow whatever that is for you.
whateverticklesyourpickle Monique you have to change how you speak about your hair... You are creating your reality with your affirmation... I hope that helps its all in the mind 😉 I literally do nothing for my hair but it grows like crazy...
The rate that the hair on your body grows is a good indicator of your average growth rate. If you find yourself shaving a lot then your hair certainly does not grow slow. You most likely aren’t retaining length.
whateverticklesyourpickle Monique do you have a healthy eating regimen? That's the main source of growth. You can do the inversion method it works great. Basicly hot oil massage your scalp in gentle circular motion then hang your head upside down for four minutes. Helps get more blood flo to your scalp. Also hot oil treatments are bomb for Hair growth. I do it under a steamer. Hope this helps!
You're so gorgeous. I feel like we have very similar hair texture but for some reason the As I Am is not my jam if ya know what I mean. It just doesn't seem to moisturize at all. Oh well, coincidentally I just bought one of those dryer thingees and I am going to get more serious about deep conditioning because I know that's definitely where I fall short. Although I also tend to cut my hair off when it starts getting too long (past my shoulders) because I'm always expecting it to get flatter with length instead of being so full and it gets unruly to manage - I guess that's both the blessing and the curse of having thick af hair.

Hey ladies. I have learned don't completely give up after one use so didn't like some of Shea Moisturize products. Curl Enhance Smoothie for instance. My hair I thought did. Not.like it. However. Soooo many people raved about I thought I already have it so I can give it another go. Sometimes it's the amount of product used can make a difference but also and probably most true is the state of your hair. When my hair is all extra super dry like the desert nothing works after shampoo day until I moisture and get it back to being able to accept products. Hope that helps
Annie Banana her and I also have very similar hair, and that shea moisture leave in gives me a horrible reaction! I think I’m allergic to something specifically in that jbco line 🤷🏽♀️
Who else is watching this thinking... maybe I’ll try grow my hair during this lockdown!!

J Crawford Thank you so much! Do you know if you suppose to rinse out the hair mayo? I didn't know you leave deep conditioner in and then apply product
Thank you
Thx
J Crawford thank you 💕💕
Do you wash your hair again after applying the hair mayonnaise?
I love how you talk while doing your hair, instead of talking for 9 hours then extremely quiet when doing your hair
Yass your right

It’s a lot of bitter Betty’s in this comment section 🙄 don’t be mad sis! Take some vitamins, get your water intake up, and stop hating on the next queen! Everyone’s hair is capable of growing with proper TLC! Keep shining love your hair is gorgeous! 💋
Best comment.
You got that right!
Honestly I can understand why people are annoyed, hair grows differently for people, and utubers take advantage of that. It is hard to tell who is genuine about products helping their hair grow. My hair grows so fast, literally a centimeter a month, without product or all this fuss. I too can start a channel and lie about how I got my hair.
Exactly! Why would anyone be so negative? This video was AWESOME! Loved everything about!
Thank you for speaking up about the negative comments. We women need to learn to support and compliment one another more but being sincere. It takes maturity at any age for that . It also makes you feel better to show kindness and love towards others. EVERYONE has struggles in life This is why we all need Jesus to help us. . Renew our mind. We cant just stop on our own. Hiding behind computers and spitting out hate is not the way to get rid of envy ,hate,bitterness and jealousy. Be thankful that we can obtain free information that can be helpful. Be your best and blessed. She is sincerely trying to help others. It takes time to put tigether videos. Pay or no pay it takes a lot and a kindness to want to share.
Air dry takes about 25 years😭😭😭😭

It isn't growth that's the issue. It's RETAINING LENGTH. Everyone is capable of growing hair but a lot of girls with kinky hair do hair styles (leaving in weaves too long, tight extensions etc.) and add chemicals (perms, extreme heat etc.) to their hair that causes the head to lose hair faster than the rate at which it's growing. Stop making your buns and ponytails too tight, let your hair breathe every once in a while! Moisturize your hair regularly with butters and natural oils like Jamaican black caster oil, olive oil, argan oil, coconut oil. This applies to twists, braids, AND box braids especially. Box braids are ONLY a protective style when you moisturize them weekly and wash your hair every 1-3 weeks. Otherwise your hair under will be a dry dirty mess with lots of BREAKAGE and THINNING! (I learned the hard way). And 4 type hair girls please have patience. Our extremely tight curls have shrinkage that makes our length very hard to visualize.
First of all i dont believe u are a ugly girl. Beauty is beyond looks. That being said u have spoken the plain straight true about our hair. & how we mistreat it by not keeping it moisturize, twists etc. U are very knowledgeable about the hair. & thanks for the encouragement fot us 4C type girls. Your comments is one of the best true i have seen in a long time. Keep it up. U are very savvy smart. Pretth girl.!grace to all. Gail Hopkins
Yeh
I grew up my hair butt length in a year. but it was shoulder length before that.
Just keep it tucked and nice and moisturized. Our hair loves to be treated like a queen, because it's our crown.😊 just treat our hair nicely, no pulling and pushing. No tight braids period!! I swear tight braids will take it off of your scalp.Won't make it grow, but will replace the old hair by taking it out of your scalp....
If I'm feeling braids, I do it by my self just loose and nice. That's all. Oh and keep the scalp clean. It works on everybody.
Yessssss sis! You’re 100% right. Hence why all the likes. I tought I was alone in this theory but it seems many of us are learning the hard way. They feed us bullshit so we can keep buying fake hair chemicals etc
I have 4c hair.
When I was ten I had long thick strong luxury hair. My mum used her mums natural care hair routine and I was sick of the oil and braids and wanted to relax and look like my friends. My mum finally let me and I was doing that until 24 . But my hair stopped growing. It still looked healthy but that was youth.
Then keratin treatments came out and I started doing them and my hair started growing again. I didn’t look after my hair but it grew and I guess by default I went natural but I didn’t exactly look after my hair. I let my my hair be but I never box braided or tied it hard. Or wore any hairs I just let it BE and it grew halfway down my back which was the most.
THIS WAS WITHOUT ME CARING FOR IT MOSTURISING ETC
- then after ten years for some stupid reason and life problems I just had one of those stupid moments and relaxed it again. Biggest mistake. First I wasn’t young anymore and my hair did not like relaxing. And why was very annoying is when you start relaxing you have to keep doing the new roots. Then I started getting white hair and I dyed I black.
Worse mistake of my life.
I remember my hair literally falling out and breaking off. I was so mortified.
After that I did not put anything on my hair. Not even shampoo: onky natural stuff like coconut oil. As the roots grew I started reading about “protective” hair styles like box braid and wigs and weave.
MISTAKE NUMBER THREE
I wasted my money going to salons. I tried every protective style from
Box braids to frontals until I noticed in six months my edges have fallen out:
The stylist told me the braid were too tight. I was mad because I was getting contradictory advice about braids and weave and how thick and when to wash. I relised the had way fake hair damages your hair.
NOW IM NATURAL NATURAL
I only use Gods earth pure coconut oil or Cheba powder or T444z which is for treating hair loss and bold hair and has a mix of castor oil peppermint etc.
My new growth is coming out THICK AND STRONG AND FAST. The old hair I remember when I was ten and my mum would be tugging.
I almost want to cry and relised it’s not ageing etc....it’s just so simple as this sister is saying.
Stop anything unnatural. Stop heat, chemicals, dyeing, relaxing, wigs, weave, braids ALL DAMAGE YOUR hair.
All you need is a moisturiser. Pure like coconut oil. Comb daiky slowly and don’t pull hard. Let it dry naturally.
EVEN WEARING A SCARF AT NIGHT is a liability if you tie it to hard. You cut off the blood and you have headaches.
I come from a North African family wth 4c hair. Most of us aunties and cousins have exceptionally long hair till THIER knees! They used to be called Indians at school. But my grandma use to do one thing from them Every night. Mix olive oil and lots of natural oils they call KARKAR and like chad woman of Africa they oil THIER hair every night and tie into buns. They only took off the buns when they went out which they hardly did because they lived in a cut of village.
Conclusion
Stop playing with your hair
Moisturiser daily at night. Use so much oil even if it hate it. Get used to it.
Brush slowly bottom up. Don’t brush while it’s wet.
Wash once every week and half.
Make sure you buy a filter shower if the water in your area is not good.
Leave your hair alone. Anything fake or man made you put in your hair stops growth. Every braids.
It’s a hard transition if you live for your wigs but if you are mentally ready for nature this is my own experience and advice
Better you wear your own long hair. I used I be so stupid and sea weaves and wigs that are as long as my own hair!
Thanks you sis for sharing: I thought I was the only one who came to your conclusion
Respect your hair and your hair will respect you. I. Believe in my heart wearing fake hair wigs damages your hair. Your hair doesn’t like it. Your hair needs your love. Not you loving on fake hair u
Thank you
This is completely possible! I started a routine like this in 2017 when my hair was very short, and now my hair is down my back! The key is never skipping more than one week and being consistent. You can do it ladies!
Are u pure african or mixed like her ?
Because i think for pure african hair with all the shrinkage and stuff we can't do that every week or maybe I'm wrong but majority of pure African like myself can't do this every week
@@andreatsanga1273 I’m 100% Nigerian 😃
I have tons of shrinkage and I still did this every week!
@@supereee7 wait a minute 😱 like black girls can do our haircare routine every week without problems ? And the hair grows ? 😱 please what's tour hair porosity ?
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous
As a child, my mother did not take care of my hair so I never learned. My hair was always thin and short. Within the last 3 yrs. I began reading about taking care of Black hair. I learned a few things and stopped brushing my hair so much and incorporated hair moisturizing daily lotion with weekly shampoo & conditioner. I saw results. Slow, but results just the same. Now, I know more about leave-in conditioner. Your video taught me even more. Now I know I'm on the right track. Thank you so much for sharing with us that don't half know what we are doing! LOL! God bless!
Also garlic is great for hair growth. It is packed with minerals and nutrients that helps with growing your hair. Place it on the scalp and go to sleep with it on your hair. Then wake up and wash it out. Scrub the garlic through out the hair. Leave it in like a leave in conditioner.
Yessssss each persons hair is like a fingerprint. Its that unique. Its sooo cool to watch vids and get suggestions but learning our hair is still our responsibility and you did that. My hair is not long at all but its extremely healthy cause i finally learned what my hair and scalp requires. Its a beautiful thing! Congrats to you!!!!
Same thing with me. No one knew or understood my hair texture.
Good for vampires 2@@debrajames6316
Anyone that defines hair as "mixed hair" is ignorant because not all "mixed" people have the same texture.
👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿
Thats true but you also know what they mean no? They mean its not 4c
Is true im mix and my hair is short asssssssssssss And amandla stenberg is full black and u should see herrr Google

Me tooo😀
Honestly 😩 I have a friend with really long hair but every time i say “i wish i had hair like yours.” she always says “Thank you, but it’s to much sometimes.”
I would recommend Mane 'n Tail conditioner. The day after I used it, I grabbed my hair to put into a pony tail and was jarred by the thickness that I acquired overnight. I couldn't believe it. Now I'm hooked. I used both the shampoo and conditioner, although I'm not that fond of the shampoo. My hair has grown considerably, visibly in two months. Also, an unexpected surprise is the strength and beauty of my nails. Rubbing my scalp in that conditioner has had other effects and I love it. So, give it a try. The cheapest is at Walmart. Give us an update in two months :-D
Every girls wish
One of my cousins grew her hair super fast in a year because she stop putting heat on it that whole year. Her hair is the same length as this woman’s hair & my cousin is fully black. It is possible. Don’t be so pessimistic lol
Kat SHUT UP....
@@NaiveOldhead I understand what you're trying to say but that was super duper offencive just because somebody is fully black does not mean that their hair cannot grow as long as a white person or a Spanish person Etc I think that's something that the media portrays about black people but it's not true at all you can go to parts of Africa and people have long hair all the way to their legs please take several seats
@@NaiveOldhead okay thank you 😊for telling me have a nice day😄
Fully black has nothing to do with it. What hair texture does she have? I’d bet the house it isn’t 4c hair.

DO NOT GE SHEA MOISTURE PRODUCTS IT MAKES YOUR HAIR FALL OUT
Did anybody who commented genetics realize it took her pretty much 5 years to get here? 😂 (2013-2018) this wasn’t over night , her committing herself to drinking water , doing her routine and eating healthily is what got her here, genetics played a very little role here.
I totally agree! Genetics reasoning is a copp out this gives the lazy person an out by reasoning that ppl who work hard have what they have by birth. What a slap in the face. Cause my hair started at 1/2" on top bald faded on the sides and back. Now 16mos later i have 5" of hair from hours of watching vid suggestions; sampling products; messaging my scalp; oiling washing twisting WORK WORK WORK
Stephanie Slaughter, & if you want results like hers that’s exactly what it’ll take: keep grinding for them inches boo 😘
There are ALOT of people on the internet that claim you can grow hair overnight and also genetics does come into play with a lot of things. I don't agree 100% that it defines EVERYTHING of course, but it's not their fault.
Yeh i feel u...but my hair is starting to grow faster since i added organic oil to my routine im up to 1/2" in 3wks +4 days
I stated that genetics played a very little role in this, not that it didn’t have a role. you can’t be you without genetics so I’m sure they do play a role in almost everything or everything. I understand there are a lot of people who act like it’s possible to grow hair over night but to comment your assumptions and opinions is always a choice. you can think whatever you want, I’m just saying don’t try to knock her hustle by discrediting her tips because you assumed her mixed genes got her there. and when I say you, I’m not referring to you, it’s just an example.
Her skin is just AMAZING.
She said that she drinks "tons of water; 2 liters a day." [end of video]
The start doing that.I will.
Yikes, sorry for all of the people who have nothing better to do than to post negativity on your video. My daughter is mixed and her hair had been severely damaged by heat processing to the extreme. I haven't seen her hair grow past her shoulders in 8 years. She is really struggling with it. Hair length and health has to do with how we treat our hair, not genetics. Mixed or not, using crazy amounts of heat, tight hairstyles, excessive chemicals and not moisturizing will prevent hair from growing and keep it unhealthy. I don't know why people assume these videos should just be for 4C naturals. Um, black people with other textures exist too...hello!? People will always find something to criticize. Thanks for the video. I like your lack of product junkism. Keep it simple.
I totally agree with you Sis
Stop calling your child 'mixed'. she is a human being and not 'mixed' or 'black' or 'white' or anything else just because she and her parents are not Hollywood or white supremacist ideals or stereotypes... She is a normal child and nothing else. Welcome to 2018.
Her hair is her hair and individual as anyones hair. Some peoples hair grow fast, others slow... With people I mean all people in the world! All!
Child that is nonsense. Social and cultural identifiers don't mean we aren't human beings anymore. It means we have ethnic and social group backgrounds that contribute to our identity. Yes, some people use it as a reason to oppress others, yet we can also use it to unify with eachother over common background, experience and ancestry. As you gain in maturity you will begin to understand why that is important. My MIXED race daughter wants to give acknowledgement to the multiple ancestral backgrounds that influence her and are apart of who she is.
No offence. Did not meant to attack you. Want you to open your eyes.This is usually a result of wrong education. Those social indicators are not helpful at all.
If you choose 'races' and 'being different' from other humans like so called 'whites', you choose racism! You promote racism. Then you should not complain about discrimination. Two races are never equal... Matter of fact!
Here it comes:
Races do not exist among humans. (that is the real reason why we are all equal!). So why promoting this idea which is just causing harm and is not even true at the end?
Saying your daughter is mixed doesn't tell anybody about her hair or hair grows. Black people do not have other genetics then white or all other people in the world. Your child can have straight or curly hair. She can be light skinned or dark skinned independent from her parents skin colour or origin. Furthermore curly hair in the terms of 'Afro curly' doesn't mean all those people have the same genetics or nonsense like slower hair grow! Even my sisters got different hair from me. One of them has extremely thick, dark black and a lot of hair and it grows like hell...
IWe do not need this way of thinking that is supporting racism. With racism I mean discrimination and prejudice based on people's skin color. Google by yourself the following sentence and get some education: 'races do not exist, but racism does'...
White supremacist abused evolution theories by Darwin and tried to define races among humans based on the way people look and to justify slavery and repression (Darwin was up set about it, because this was not what he tried to explain). Then science especially genetics disproved that you can divide humanity into race's.
Just because we both have darker skin, doesn't make us more related to each other then to any other person 'black' or 'white'... Your kid is not mixed, because there are no pure humans!!!
Might be a challenge for you to understand this. But this exactly shows a big difference between you and me and therefore again proof that just because we are sharing a few features we do not automatically have the same ability and spirit to overcome the shadows of the past and start appreciating real diversity... For example to understand how diverse all humans are!

Black hair has to be moisturizers. We also need to sit under that steam cap with the condition. This was a routine as a child, once per week. Folks started weaving and messing up their hair
Four years is not fast, sister. That’s what you should have achieved. You persistence paid off. Congratulations!
That’s fast if your hair has been almost the same length for yeeears so yeah, I think it’s just having healthy hair habits what makes the difference, bad hair habits will delay the growth waaaay much.
Or if you did a big chop
Glad someone pointed this out, the average growth rate is 1/2inch a month sooo in 4 years her hair should be at least 24 inches which is about where it’s at. It is beautiful and healthy looking though

Wow we have the same texture and yet your hair looks way better than mine but you have a system and I don't. I noticed when I started attempting to take care of my hair my curls that I thought I did not have started forming. I thought I was 4C but as my hair started growing and I started hydrating it more with sulfate free products my curl pattern started opening up and actually I believe I am now 3C - 4A. The hydration is key. I appreciate this video. I will adopt this system for myself.

Theres actually a certain hair treatment you can do once in a while that involves olive oil, coconut oil (the cooking kind), and eggs that makes your hair grow insanely quick (a few hours). I tried it and had about two inches of immediate growth. Im not really one for DIYs but I was feeling creative and after I tried it was in shock.

There's nothing in this world to compare with the joy of knowing and accepting Jesus into your heart and life
And nothing to compare with the glory that will soon be revealed in them who believe on Him- Heaven.
To make heaven u have to accept Jesus and follow Him all d way, but to reject Him is to refuse peace, joy and everlasting life n happiness- in heaven. Pls choose Jesus today and your sins will be washed away and u will be totally a free and new man. Thanks and God bless u. Amen

Idk why these "mixed" comments are a thing. Like honestly my boyfriend is natural, and 100% black. He takes care of it the same way and it looks almost the same. Not everyone has the same hair. If you're gonna make a comment on "ease" keep it at that. Her racial background isn't the only factor.
Don't isolate yourself. There are people who have been through what you might be facing right now and they overcame it. Don't push people away, surround yourself with people who are spiritually mature and get the help that you need. Isolation when you are in pain and don't know if there's a way out is dangerous and that's why we have suicide cases. Listen, there's nothing that you can be facing that God is not able to solve for with God nothing is impossible. Hold on. Jesus loves you.

Who...... Are these hating ass people with the thumbs 👇!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!!! You have a new subbie 😘😍🙌
My hair and my children's hair is a texture that most people adore, if it is short or long people compliment us on it. WE WERE BORN THAT WAY, these videos give people the impression that if you use these products and follow certain routines your outcome will be that of the person that is making the video. Most people that have long hair their hair naturally grow long, just being completely honest!
Just beautiful! I agree with you...when you commit to a routine, your hair can grow...am in Jamaica so U know how tropical we are and yea That's what most of us girls with natural hair does, we develop a routine and stick to it....gr8 video, TFS
Beauty Bee I agree.
“No magic beans from Africa” made me giggle so hard. Love all the information and inspiration. Stay blessed!
lol!
You are my new favorite TH-camr. Love your accent, your hair gives me life, YOUR CONTENT, your personality 🙌🏼 keep up the amazing work. Not so new Subbie 💕
Instead of water sometimes substitute for *ALOE VERA JUICE*
I started using aloe vera juice on my hair and it immediately loved it. After just the first use, my hair was super soft, but more importantly, my ends were smooth like I'd just gotten a fresh trim. It's a staple now.
Naokijt did u but the already made aloe juice itself or you made your from the aloe plant
@@ayeeshaj1366 I get my aloe juice from Amazon, the lily of the desert brand.
This works for some people but for others aloe can dry out hair. So yeah just be careful but if it works for you then go for it 😁
@Daleene Korkadji you can buy alie juice from pretty much any food grocery store, and you can totally drink it, it tastes kinda bad but it's very good for your body
Nice video... but i personally think that genetics plays the biggest role in how fast a person hair grows. All else we do...such as your regimen just retains your fast growth.
Right, I've been natural since 2009 and my hair is not as long as Amber's. Also, age can be a factor as well. I'm an older curly. So I know at 40+ my hair is not going to grow as fast as it did in my 20's. Also Amber's is very thick. My hair is fine. Fine hair tends to be more fragile than thick hair. When you have fine hair, you have to handle it like a delicate fabric. Because the wrong product, or pulling the hair too tightly can cause breakage. Even wearing certain hats can mess with my edges. I definitely can't wear any hats that have wool in them.
Consistent routine and healthy diet are the main factors. As long as you do not have any vitamin deficiencies and you are consistent with a good regimen your hair will grow approximately 1/2 inch per month. Consistency is key and will produce Hair growth to be In 1 year approximately ear length. In 2 years approximately shoulder length. In 3 years approximately mid back length. In 4 years approximately waiste length. I’m over 40 and it worked for me.
La Donna I agree 100%. It's as if I wrote this comment myself. I've been natural about the same length of time as you, fine hair, over 40 and NO MAJOR GROWTH! And I sit here and watch these videos torturing myself thinking I will find something different. Its 85% Genetics and the rest we do. The 15% I do doesn't do much of anything. I gave up and just did a Diva cut for the spring/summer.
Just like I'm a mother of 5 and I'm able to keep my weight down with no diet and no major workouts. Genetics! I got Michelle Obama arms. I get asked what's your arm workout routine. No routine. Genetics, Genetics, Genetics (genotype and phenotype)
I'm not saying it's impossible to grow your hair out if you're over 40. My hair is almost bra strap length. But it took a great deal of pampering my hair to achieve that length. I wear mostly protective styles. I don't manipulate my hair that much. I have to stay on top of keeping it moisturized. I have satin scarves, satin pillow cases, the whole nine yards.
Ms KSS you make a very valid point about having Michelle Obama arms but you don't work out. I have seen people with muscular bodies that don't work out but I lift weights and it's hard to define my arms. With that said, you all are right that genetics does play a role in rate of hair growth. I stand corrected and will now say that Having a consistent routine is important to obtain your PERSONAL best hair growth and retention. Thanks for your enlightening comments ladies. 😊
Keep your hair moist and detangled. That’s literally it. I don’t I’m lazy so mines grows slow. I kept my daughter with past shoulder length hair all her life with that simplicity. Think about what your mom used .. water, grease, and twisted lol. My toddler hair is growing good.. simply
Watching you care for your beautiful hair is so relaxing somehow, satisfying to see it so loved

My friend has a daughter with this hair ,cut it for one Christmas,above her shoulders,next Christmas child's hair has grown back , mum white dad black ,child mixed race ...it's very normal for this hair type to grow this fast...
Life is so hard and stressful most of the time that's why our hair will never grow I'm tired of trying:(
If your har ain't growing don't worry sis.....not all of us gotta have back length hair
thanks
- I lover her hair, accent and voice 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️. This waz so satisfying too😩🤦🏽♂️💞💞💞.
Gorgeous Miss Amber! You can see your hair getting longer! I'm an ORS Hair Mayo fan too. Just the right amount of protein.👍
You are definitely doing this hair care journey right. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and regimen.
Thank you for showing the shedding. I feel like so many of the videos on YT rarely show it or address it. My hair sheds like that too. I honestly thought something was wrong lol. But I know we lose dead hair strands everyday so your transparency is refreshing.
I sulfate wash, then condition (or hair mask) twice and in between I do an oil rinse on my ends (I have butt length wavy/curly hair, so it can use the oil). I also do the LOC/LCO method to end my wash routine. It's how I got my hair long. Moisture, moisture, moisture. I also weekly wash every Sunday.
Marleen G. Is your sulfate wash of any help ?
Sergine Anaïs, for growing? In a sense, kind of. Because I have a scalp condition (seborrheic dermatitis aka SD) and it helps keep my scalp nice and clear of oils that feed the fungal overgrowth that is SD. I used to try and go sulfate-free and CO-wash and my scalp was an absolute mess (flaky, red, itchy), and a bad scalp does not exactly promote hair growth.
Marleen G. Oh that's good to know. It's great if it works for you. I use ACV rinse for my scalp conditions.
Marleen G. This doesn’t work for me! Ugh
What doesn't? The sulfates, the oil rinse (use just 10 drops or a tiny puddle of oil), or the LOC/LCO method?
All I know is you were rocking that short fro! You are so beautiful you can do it all and can't miss!
FINALLY someone with the same hair as me. I always see people who are mixed but their hair isn't quite like mine. I am part Puerto-Rican and it was so hard to find someone with hair like mine.
DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBING!
Sameeee I have loose curls but a more frizzy texture I’m very unclear about my hair having high or low porosity I’ve done the rest but I still don’t quite get it
Thank u somebody who's actually honest about how tangled their hair is most people be like if it has tangles then it's nappy but no it means it's thick and that it needs to be combed out but that's not bad everybody has to do it
Love your accent new sub.
Afric Network k
what kind of accent is that from? never heard anything like it.
HUYI1 she is from Belgium
ah i see, lovely accent.
Céline Marce Black Belgium 🇧🇪?
The results for that wash and go was bomb!
Hey!! Would you not prefer to buy "real" avocado and grapeseed oil at the health food/grocery store? You get ALOT more and you will also know that you are using 100% concentration of the oils.
TooBlessed 2BStressed
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Besides all the foolish comments. You have beautiful thick hair period!!!! I don’t care what type of hair it is.
Wow, such beautiful hair!!! 😍
Woooooowww that hair is mesmerising🙏🏼😍 you’re so beautiful and a happy spirit to listen to! 😊
Ok. This is the closest Ive ever seen to my hair with the 2 textures! I love your accent and sense of humor! :) great tips and some interesting looking products! I recently started a routine and vitamins and you're soooo right it makes a huge difference and my hair is growing like a weed! Lol consistency really is key! I think I'm gonna try heat more with DC too cause like you...my hair likes it... So, more #netflix LOL!
This is a really legit routine! It is so especially important to pre-poo and get those tangles out before you wash
When you said it takes my hair 25 years to dry I almost died!!!!! I feel your pain so much I instantly hit the subscribe button. I was like here is a sista who definitely feels my biracial curly hair struggle!!!!
Ok last comment....lol...Can you do a video on an updated night routine and or what do you do mid week? Do you spritz with water aloe juice?
Me too! I love hair wash day videos! lol They kind of make me calm
Me too
Try rice water! It also moisturizes your hair as it grows. It also makes good curl patterns! Just use some Cantu to keep it moist for a REALLY long time
Amber you hair is so beautiful after you wash it! My daughter has the same type of hair as you, but she hates to keep her out, rather have it in braids.
Vicki aka Saugeen29 tell her it takes time to really learn/love our hair, her hair sounds GORGEOUS 😍 could you ask her to leave it out for a day and hopefully this will help her to leave it out more often also braids can break the hair in due time if your strands are not thick/coarse and even then the hair can still break also it's good to embrace your thick curly hair you'll feel so liberated and It feels amazing I should know I did the big chop I have a buzz cut LML Hoped this helps God bless
Your hair is off the hook for real!
Me saw thumb nail: how did you grow your hair in 5 days
Her: people don't even ask me about my name and they are like how did you grow your hair so fast
Me: ummm...😅😃
Nialahs world Maybe RICE WATER addict
Genetics + healthy body + good diet + lifestyle + personalized hair routine & trims=HEALTHY HAIR
which should be the primary goal. YOUR length will follow whatever that is for you.
THANK YOU thats all i ever wanted a simple explanation of a routine to know if i was wrong or what i did wrong. I saw my mistakes thx again.
It's what u eat and where u live too environment, stress levels and health
Candypie 2010 xactly👌🏾
I am growing mine during this lockdown.
Me too 😀💯
your type of hair grow fast becuase it holds a lot of moisture but you are right. Having a daily routine helps
She got me when she said “my hair takes 25 years to air dry , I’ll see you in 25 years”😂
I did an unboxing of the sugarbear hair package I got on my channel. I was really happy they sent their package to me 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful head of hair!! I want my hair like this again, miss it so much.
Her accent is everything 🥰
We're here for her hair. Can you find anything great about that???????
Her hair is just so beautiful omgosh
‘Air drying takes 25 years’ This made my day haha! Beautiful hair btw and thank you for the advice!
My hair grows severely slow no matter what I do to it. I tried everything.
whateverticklesyourpickle Monique same here. I give up.
whateverticklesyourpickle Monique you have to change how you speak about your hair... You are creating your reality with your affirmation... I hope that helps its all in the mind 😉 I literally do nothing for my hair but it grows like crazy...
The rate that the hair on your body grows is a good indicator of your average growth rate. If you find yourself shaving a lot then your hair certainly does not grow slow. You most likely aren’t retaining length.
my thick just like hers but mine edges went ball. when I put that glue on my edges. never again. and I pics
whateverticklesyourpickle Monique do you have a healthy eating regimen? That's the main source of growth. You can do the inversion method it works great. Basicly hot oil massage your scalp in gentle circular motion then hang your head upside down for four minutes. Helps get more blood flo to your scalp. Also hot oil treatments are bomb for Hair growth. I do it under a steamer. Hope this helps!
You're so gorgeous. I feel like we have very similar hair texture but for some reason the As I Am is not my jam if ya know what I mean. It just doesn't seem to moisturize at all. Oh well, coincidentally I just bought one of those dryer thingees and I am going to get more serious about deep conditioning because I know that's definitely where I fall short. Although I also tend to cut my hair off when it starts getting too long (past my shoulders) because I'm always expecting it to get flatter with length instead of being so full and it gets unruly to manage - I guess that's both the blessing and the curse of having thick af hair. LOL.
Annie Banana add 3 spoons of honey and 1 spoon of EV Olive Oil in the As I Am cowash, plastic cap for 30 mins to an hour. Thank me later. Or Aussie 3 minute deep conditioner (amaazzzinnggg and CHEAP!) and/or Creme of Nature conditioner, plastic cap. Thank me later, good luuuuccckkk! 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Hey ladies. I have learned don't completely give up after one use so didn't like some of Shea Moisturize products. Curl Enhance Smoothie for instance. My hair I thought did. Not.like it. However. Soooo many people raved about I thought I already have it so I can give it another go. Sometimes it's the amount of product used can make a difference but also and probably most true is the state of your hair. When my hair is all extra super dry like the desert nothing works after shampoo day until I moisture and get it back to being able to accept products. Hope that helps
Annie Banana her and I also have very similar hair, and that shea moisture leave in gives me a horrible reaction! I think I’m allergic to something specifically in that jbco line 🤷🏽♀️
Annie Banana where can I get that dryer thing she has? Is it just as good as a defuzer? I used to use one and it left my curls defined and cute!
She has 10x more hair than I do. Her hair is gorgeous !
2:32 That's the amount of hair I loss when I finally washed and took out weave for like 2 months. I guess it's a good thing I didn't shed so much
