I have to admit. I am depressed over my hair texture. I feel everything breaks it. It's fine, full and curly. When I do get braids every braider tends to knot my hair at my edges which rips my hair. I'm really contemplating cutting my hair off and giving up. I thought being natural was going to be easy and not as stressful. Butttttt.... I swear the water and grease days seemed to be so easy when I was a child.
Awww, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with your natural hair, Shameka! It’s not easy and I’ve definitely been there many many MANY times. What styles have you tried in the past that made you feel your best? Whenever I feel this way, it usually helps me to lean into those styles that I love to wear the most- even if they're not natural hairstyles - before returning to my natural look. Wigs have really helped me out in this way too. This upcoming Friday at 5pm EST, I'll be discussing how to stay motivated on our fine natural hair journey's. Feel free to join us for more on this topic! 💛
Sum up 1. to much manipulation in the installation process( to much combing,heat…) 2. neglecting your hair in protective styles( don’t forget to moisturize and hydrate) 3. sleeping on cotton pillow cases( use satin/silk pillow cases, bonnets,scarfs) 4. you keep your protective styles for way to long( weakens the strands/ creates tangles, maximal one and a half moths) 5. takedown process is to rough(coat strands with slipping liquid and protect ends while removing protective styles)
I don't even want to talk about this lol. I am so guilty of this wearing braids because I know how to to them. My braids haven't grown my hair past my shoulders in years 😩 💀☠🤦🏾♀️. It's my fault
Hey Beautiful Curlfriend! I COMPLETELY GET THIS! LOL! I was also guilty of wearing my extensions for far too long at the beginning of my fine natural hair journey. That's so awesome that you're able to put them in yourself though! You must be saving a TON of money, AND you also have the direct control to use less tension than if you were at the mercy of a stylist, lol!!! Either way, you've got this Curlfriend! Try this tip out and see what happens the next time you take down your braids 🙌🏾
Yesssss! I would love more!!!!!! I’m recovering from Cancer and chemo and radiation treatments , they have left my hair sooooo thin so yes I would love more helpful tips ❤❤❤❤

I typically like to do mini twists and keep them for a month. Lately I've been lazy and kept them a little longer than I should - big mistake! Thank you for this! P.S I love your makeup and head wrap ❤
Hey Suko! Thank you so much for checking out this video and for your lovely words 🥰 Mini twists are definitely dangerous when left in too long; especially on my own fine natural hair! I completely get that though because it’s really easy to forget a protective style though… 😬😩
My protective style is with plats or buns. These are kept for a few days. Finger de tangling works really well for me. My hair is kept moisturized with a homemade hair butter. Shampoo is done monthly. I am over 60 and have an entire head of white hair which is now dyed with henna and indigo. I am so pleased with the results. My hair has grows at a healthy pace and I have no breaking.
Hello, I love your positivity! So encouraging! I have super fine hair that doesn't grow past a certain length. I do the silk pillows and hair wraps but definitely get end tangles. I wash and regular condition ~every 5 days when my head itches. I just trimmed my ends and am doing a honey oil hair mask for the first time. I use a denman brush with only 4 rows (removed 2). I have been natural hair for 35 years. When I get fed up (brushing, tangles, no growth) I've shaved my head or once grew locs for 8 years. I had a Swedish mother so no training or tolerance for spending large amounts of time on my hair. I wear my hair out natural or up - which sounds like where the tangling problem is. Also sounds like I need to commit to trimming every 3-4 months. It sounds like trying the no conditioner, but doing deep conditioning is something to try. It sounds like using leave ins but not oils to moisturize? I definitely need to learn protective styles I can leave the house with - with fine hair they look ridiculous on me imo. I don't have any wig experience and am afraid of feeling like a fraud or being discovered. I can't tell when I need to moisturize and have no idea what my porosity is. I think I have fine/thin 3c/4a hair that easily gets stretched out and odd looking. I have defined curls if I brush with conditioner while wet, carefully rinse and pat dry. I'm experimenting with regaining curl definition and reducing post wash shrinkage by changing how I apply moisturizers like the pattern leave in and the shea moisture leave in.
Hi Isa, Thank you so much for checking out this video and for your wonderful support! I completely get the experience of having fine natural hair that doesn't grow past a certain length without very concentrated and strategic efforts to achieve your hair goals. You mentioned getting end tangles; how often do you stretch your hair? In my experience, I've noticed that wearing my hair in a stretched state tends to help a lot with the tangly ends as well. Keep doing the things that work well for you and only try a few new things here and there. I wouldn't suggest changing everything all at once because then you won't know what is working vs what is not working. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions 🙂
Yes! These things have really made a difference in the health and strength of my fine natural strands. I'm sure you will see some positive differences over time as well. 💛
Love protective hairstyles! Great advice on how long you should keep a protective hair style! I'm guilty of leaving braids in to long and all it did was cause damage. I mostly do twists or buns for a protective style. 😊😍😊
Hey Beautiful! Protective styles truly are amazing!! Especially when you find the one that you love the most! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed this video! I've also been guilty of leaving my braids in for far too long in the past as well simply because I was still enjoying the style! 😆 You're 100% right about the ensuing damage though 😩 When you do twists/buns, are you using your own hair now, or do you also add extensions?
Hello. I'm a new friend here on your channel and I'm sure you've seen some of my comments! I did not do many protective styles when I threw out my hair because I didn't know about them and there was not much on TH-cam at the time that talked about protective styling so I just wore my hair out after I big chopped it and now I am at a length past bra strap length and closer to tailbone length and I am not personally interested at this time about protective styling my hair, but I love learning about it!
Hi Zelda! Thank you so much for watching Fine Natural Hair ROCKS and for your lovely comments! I really appreciate them 💛 I love the fact that you were able to achieve beautiful length retention without needing to rely on protective styles. That sounds absolutely amazing!! I love your handle as well btw. I'll definitely be checking out your channel shortly! 🤗

Hey Damaris! Thanks so much for checking out this video!🤗 I'm really glad you enjoyed this video and I will definitely be posting more hair advice and tutorial videos. I'm also happy Covid has fully passed; God is good, 🙏🏾... God bless you too 💛 I'm also excited for the 10th!! 😍💃🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Thank you and yes God is Good All The Time Amen!! . Yeees hurry hurry 10th of October lol 😂🤣. Later Curlfriend glad you're 100% You. So happy to hear that!! 🙏🏾🥰🌺🦋💛💛💛
@FineNaturalHairRocks Before, I was pretty aggressive with my takedowns. But I've been using coconut oil to take them out now and being super gentle with only finger detangling. My shedding seems to be less when I take it easy but I'm not getting growth when it's in a protective style. It took me three years just to touch my shoulders and that's only the back. The front and sides are full but my hair breaks easily. I figured I needed to start using protein treatments but every video says not to if I'm low porosity
Hey Paige Bey 💛🤗 What type of mid length extension style were you considering? I completely get your concerns as hair shaft can be very detrimental to the health and strength of fine natural hair.
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS oh i love that you replied. Ive been currently into the goddess braids look, but the twists are a go to. I havent done a protective style really in a few years after messing up my strands one time
Hi The Moondancer (I LOOOOVE your name btw!!! 😍) To answer your question, I actually did a tutorial of this for vlogmas in the past! 😄 Here it is: th-cam.com/video/5i8XjB_jBpE/w-d-xo.html
Hey Curlfriend! This is a great question! It really depends on the protective style but I think a week or so in between protective styles should work perfectly!
Awww I get this feeling completely! How’s your deep conditioning treatments going? Also, what type of styles have you been wearing to improve your length retention?
I feel the same way but I’m not giving up. I started washing weekly, I wash my hair tools every time I use them and I change my scarf also every week I wash my hair. I also stated to go back to my stylist monthly just for maintenance.
Since I wash my hair twice a week I was thinking about twisting after wash day and taking it down by next wash day. Is that too short of time for the protective style?
Hey beautiful Curlfriend, I would say that this is a bit too much manipulation for a protective style. Would it be possible for you to stretch your protective style over a week at minimum?
Hmmm, this is a good question that depends on what you're looking to achieve. Do you want a beautiful new style, maximum length retention, or just a way to put away your strands for a bit? The answer to this question matters and will help you determine what might work best for your next protective style. I hope this helps Curlfriend! 💛
Hi Melvina! 😄💛 So mini twists are a bit different. How long do you usually keep them in for? Have you experienced tangling with them in the past? Without using added extensions, my fine hair tends to knot up on itself in mini twists so I generally avoid them like the plague...
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I usually leave them in for 2 weeks. No big issues with tangling just frizzy at the roots and needs moisturizing 2-3 times per week. I want to try to maintain them longer so that I can retain more length but I'm not sure if it's good for my hair. I do wash and deep condition with the twist installed so is it really necessary to re-twist after 2 weeks because it's time to wash?

Go back to that water and grease girl!
I was feeling like this. I went bad to what worked

I do my braids and never install them tightly. There is no growth for me and I have fine 4c hair.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this Tara. What is your takedown process like? Do you find yourself losing a lot of hair at that point?
