Our hair is constantly growing. It never really stops growing, in fact. However, it can remain at a certain length for a long time without proper attention and care. This can be due to breakage, cutting off more inches than one grows on average each month, not getting enough nutrients through food etc.
Especially the food. Not too many talk about taking care of the hair from the inside ( body) out ( topical). It's usually some topical remedy to growing hair rather than looking at their daily eating habits. People will curse someone out for suggesting that maybe their poor diet choices is why they hair isn't growing. Many times, a person can be deficient in a certain nutrient ( usually Iron, Omega-3 and vitamin E), and many other nutrients.

@@912deborah I have to disagree... Length is a sign of health in black hair as well as European hair. Length used to be considered a European thing, but it's really not. Black women that I know want long, beautiful kinky hair, not long straight hair. Of course, genetics come into play, but I'd venture to say that most women of all ethnicities have the genetic ability to grow what we consider long hair (i.e. past shoulder length in its natural state), but African hair, in particular, is a bit weaker and the person would have to be extra careful in combating breakage at the ends to achieve this.

You are right Fancy, because if and when she combs her hair a quarter of it will fall out. Hair grows and breaks out; Blacks hair breaks more because of it's tight, thin coils.

My Grandmother use to say, “Pay attention when somebody is trying to help you”. This Beautiful Sister is giving us Hair Wisdom but the Haters are looking at her lipstick and calling her Long Natural Hair a wig. I guess Haters are gonna Hate.
There are a few things I have noticed my hair likes: (1)PH Balance (4.5- 5.5, 6 max) really matters for my hair Health and length retention. It reduces a lot of shedding and split ends. My hair loves aloe Vera based shampoos and products for this reason. (2) 12-24 hour coconut oil Pre-poo really seems to keep my hair strong and shiny and eases detangling. (3) It also loves protein infused products (with mostly moisture) on a regular basis for protein/moisture balance . (4) Detangle while damp. My hair hates soaking wet detangling, but damp is best. (5) Trim schedule. Mine is every 8 weeks, 12 max. If I wait many months like Temi, for example. My hair ends develop tiny holes that lead to split ends, knots, and breakage. I feel like me doing these things allows my hair to holds moisture well and usually doesn't need more products past wash day (weekly)
You just said it all I notice that too I am high Porosity 4c hair my hair loves macadamia oil ,hemp seed oil,coconut oil ,grapeseed oil and silk amino acids or hydrolysed silk protein
Little Afro Because my hair will feel manageable and soft yet strong. I will be able to comb through it and style without breakage. All that and a little shine enhancement makes a product a winner in my book !
One time I went to get two cornrows and the lady saw my hair and she said it was too thick for her to do two on. She said she can do four. Listen she started combing my hair straight dry like I had washed it but the water was dried out dried out. It was the most painful hair experience I’ve ever had and she didn’t even think to put cream until midway and it wasn’t a lot. Although she didn’t offer to stop I should’ve just left cause who knew how much hair I lost. When she started braiding my hair it felt really tight and when I got home bubbles was around my edges. Never again ! My head was hurting for a good two weeks practically.. I’m recovering from two years ago still learning what works best for my natural and keeping it moisturized thanks !
Girl NEVER again. Let someone do that to you! Some of these hair dressers don't like to see me with beautiful hair ( even if they r black!) Be careful who u let touch your hair...
I know I’m late replying to your video however I just have to say that you are the most realistic on giving hair tips especially on 4c type hair. I have come cross so many vids on hair growth/hair health etc.., and I must say yours is the most realistic and helpful. Thanks for your help! 🌷
Agreed... I try to stick to Fleece, Velvet or Pashmina scarves, they're all soft, tightly woven and still keep your neck warm...Another tip would be to either use hats that are already lined with satin or wear a satin scarf/bonnet under your hat. ⛄👍✌
NT.... #2 is the reason I just couldn't retain my length. I tried what worked for everyone else hair and I paid the price for it! No more! I do what works for me :) Excellent informative video and you look amazing.
@NaturallyTemi, okay I'm loving the lipstick. Also, THANK YOU for being honest about Type 4 hair. My hair texture is 4a/b/c. I appreciate you being honest that it took seven years for your hair to grow like that. You're correct even though we have type 4 hair every person hair is different. As you stated the regimen you have works for you, but after five years of being natural I have finally found products' that works for my type 4 hair. God bless!!!!!
Thank you for stressing that hair care is an individual journey. What works for some will not work for all. I make my products based on the ingredients in the for sale products and formulate them for what my hair responds to. My growth is regular, but to avoid the breakage I learned to get over not wanting to trim my ends. Now, I gladly trim ends when the moon is growing.
It’s true as king S it looks neat and you care for it , don’t force hair to do what it doesn’t want to do . Whatever curl I get I rock with it and that’s that .
Naturally Temi some ppl can get away with not combing. I've tried it for months unsuccessfully. I went back to combing my hair only on wash days & hydrating days. I wanna add, im very gentle with my hair while combing. My hair is growing beautifully. But I still love your videos Temi💗
Love your gorgeous hair......compliment coming from a 4c texlaxed person. Yes you don't see a lot of natural 4 hair types looking like yours. I know some whose hair length stay very short and the same length for years and years and not because they are cutting it.
Her hair is beautiful love it. Anyway to be honest you can listen to a 1000 ways how to grow long hair, every individual is different. My hair is thick, nice length, doesn’t take long to grow and all I do is oil and leave it alone sometimes braided, I don’t wash or condition everyday I probably shampoo once or twice a month.. my hair grows fine .. especially when I slap my wig on and call it a day I don’t bother my hair much. I seen people try rice water it dried and broke out their hair, I seen people do all kinds of things, genetics does play a very big part and whatever works for you.
Your hair never actually stops growing (unless you have a condition like Alopecia) it just doesn't show because it is breaking at the same rate that it grows.
I definitely needed to hear every word that you spoke, I am truly inspired by what you had to say. From now on there is nothing I won't do to keep my hair thriving and to test the roads and obstacles on my hair journey to shoulder length hair. (I'm trying to keep my goals realistic I'm in the awkward stage of my hair)
None of the women in my family had long hair.. I’ve been the only female in my family that has shoulder length growing down to my collar bone. I take very good care of my hair like it’s a baby..
Wow. That's so weird! I'm the opposite! My hair is about where u described ( shoulder/collar ) and I have the SHORTEST hair in my family!! These ppl can grow hair so fast! I feel like choking them! And it's a huge blk family ( of course we have Indian ancestors_ like All blk ppl!) But some of them can sit on their damn hair! And it grows like weeds! I struggle trying to get to BSL! to no avail. Even some of the babies have hair down their back, and have passed me already! And they all have such thick beautiful hair! . My brother stopped cutting his about 3 yrs ago and it's almost to his damn waist!! Thick gorgeous, wavy, jet black hair! It makes me want to punch him! And about 100 other ppl in my huge long _ass / haired family!! Ugggg!!!!
I had to come to terms with the fact that there are many natural hair favorites that my hair sideyes: shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, eco styler gel, and heavy butters- it absolutely hates that shea moisture restorative mask and most all shea moisture shampoos. Also Trader Joe's nourish and spa gave me no slip. But mineral oil gives me tons of slip, and my hair likes a little mineral oil mixed with conditioner for detangling. Mineral oil may be considered a no no, but my hair loves it, along with ph balance for detangling purposes. I've learned that if a conditioner's ph is greater than 5.5, detangling is a nightmare.
Mineral oil is fine. And so is grease. Most of the new fangled “natural” products are watered down. Which is why they don’t work well. They’re also way too expensive to be such a hit & miss. The local hair store products with softee, blue magic, & luster’s pink brands work so much better. They’re also significantly cheaper.
Timi I miss seeing you at church with that gorgeous hair. I started to grow mine and I don't have length or volume. Come have a pow wow with us on how to grow our lovely tresses. Go young lady, I'm so proud of you. (Sis. Angel) shouting out my young ppl.
Thank you for this video. All my life, I've set my goal to have long and healthy type 1 and 2 hair. I realized that I couldn't have that type of hair because I'm black and the natural hair we have is beautiful because of it's kinkiness. When I had a perm my goal was to have Caucasian people's hair (not trying to be racist or rude but I'm saying what type of hair i wanted). I recently had my big chop from permed hair to natural a month ago. I've spent the 7 months of my transition hating that I couldn't comb through my hair, then I grew to hair my 4c puff starting to grow under my permed hair. I thought it was going to be easy, but experiencing what i experience with my hair isn't and will not ever be realistic. I've been training my hair to loosen up and get soft because the thickness of my hair is outrageous. This video helped me think of a more realistic plan for my hair in 2 years. I've been training it with moisturizer and natural products everyday and I'm consistent with it because you have to be consistent with my type of hair. Now I'm learning to love my texture because of it's beauty and because it's not so simple to do things with my hair. Others have a short-cut to combing and training their hair, but I get the journey and I'm glad I do. I'm only in 7th grade learning this stuff and I'm proud that i'm so young learning so when I'm older I KNOW my hair. (Emphasis on the "know")
I can leave my crochet braids in for 3-4 weeks max. My scalp is dry and it itches. My hats off to people who can leave theirs in longer, I wish I could. This is very good information. Thanks dear❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Nandi the problem isn't being able to care for my hair, it's more so worrying about my high porosity ends that I can't get to to properly moisturize. I also have a very itchy dry scalp, so that's why I can't keep them very long
@ India T--- that's easy! Use Dr Miracle Spray for itchy scalp or any brand of your choice. The reason your scalp itches after a braid or crochet is cos of irritation & dryness. This works for me...I hope it does for u..🤔
some people's hair grows faster than others someone's 7 years may only take 3 for someone else. I only trimmed mine once a year. Only get mine washed, conditioned and blown out/flat ironed every other month and I don't use heat in between. Since I have been natural going on 4 years it grows even faster. It's different strokes for different folks but I'm not always manipulating my hair I keep it wrapped all the time until I step out. Vitamins help too.
dmn. this was JUST the sermon i needed to hear on my annoying overly protective-styling self. GOSH! ive been taken to 4C hair church. i promise to not over manipulate and just LET MY HAIR chill out. In a cute way tho. cute. great video! keep preachin sista!
Everything you said was accurate and nicely stated. You weren't tryin to be an expert for all, just sayin what helps you and suggestions for others. Nice caring advice. Im a natural also and know for fact ur advice was true! And u look like Denise from Cosby show! Beautiful sista. God bless u. Thanks girl! 🙏 watching from Nebraska!
While detangling always comb from the bottom of the hair strand and work your way up😊it'll save you from combing your hair out💯then when it's not tangled anymore you can comb through it
You are gorgeous. To be honest the pictures you chose for the cover. I love, I don't have trouble growing my hair. I just came to see your hair. And seeing if there anything else I need to know.
My suggestion is to use water based products and hair creams Like Argon oil Or deep conditioning olive oil and use leave in conditioners and plait your hair to stop it from shrinking
Thanks so much for all your valuable information... this was just what l needed to hear. I learned a lot from it.. and l will remember to be patient and not manipulate my hair and just let grow how it will... Thanks again can’t wait for your next hair video. 👋
I’ve been natural for 7 years now, and my hair never grew, until I became a vegan… Weird but as soon as I hit my 1 year mark, my hair grew like 4-5 inches… I’ve been a vegan now for almost 2 years and my hair is super long now. It’s crazy
I just post on your recent video regarding my hair growth and you just confirmed to me it takes time. It’s growing longer than ever I just guess I wish it would grow faster but it’s right above my shoulders. Your hair is beautiful thanks for this video your great. I’m glad I found your channel so I’m subscribing to your channel now thanks❤️
TRIMMING IS THE NUMBER ONE CULPRIT. my broke off hair stayed stagnant for years and i didnt know why. Now its growing because im trimming. Also i take 45mg iron which help with growth and breakage. Stimulates redblood cells. Plus it gives me energy. It's crazy bw are finally learning about their hair because we were always told it was to ugly to be bothered with
I love your hair, i think it’s beautiful and i love the content of your video, and I agree with most things you said, but everybody hair grows, maybe at different rates but everybody hair grows.
After using a comb all my life, only using a pick and hands is going to take some getting used to. My hair is VERY kinky and I notice how much hair I lose when I use combs so I definitely plan to use this method. I'll see how it works out. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for your honesty on natural hair growth and reasons why the rate of growth, is not living up to our expectations sometimes, I feel that my hair growth is slower because of continuous twisting the hair. I started doing wash and go’s to help.
Trying to detangle any type of hair with a fine tooth comb is bad. I have really fine straight Caucasian hair and even I have to use a wide tooth comb or rake brush to detangle.
Thanks for some good advice. I have just started a regime and am giving myself six months to see some results and to settle into a regime that works for me .. thanks again. Your hair looks wonderful 🌸🌸
This is the best video I have watched. You're so real, straight forward and sincere, I love that and then You, your hair simply amazing and beautiful. I love my hair and crown,I love this journey. Thank you❤️
Thank you for this video because I shaved my hair in August 2020 when I was 17, almost 3 months till my 18th birthday. I shaved my hair because my mother made me perm it my entire life and at that point my hair was damaged beyond repair so I had no choice but to cut it all off. It hurt to comb and brush my hair and it was constantly falling out. I was bald all throughout 2021 and I loved it because honestly I looked good with a shaved head. For my new years resolution for 2022 I wanted to grow my hair again. Thanks to your video I was able to do it, I wish I can post a picture on a TH-cam comment because I took a picture at the end of every month to see my progress. I put my hair in dreads by July 2023 and it has helped my hair grow 2x more. It’s is May 2024 as I am typing this comment❤I learn to love my hair and my hair loves me❤
one thing I do on the list is to OVER MANIPULATE, like I'll want it to be perfect, but when I stopped doing it every night, it looks better, so thank you, this video was very helpful! ~
In my opinion one very important factor was left out and that is your diet. Your hair is what you eat and eating adequate protein is important for hair growth because hair follicles are made of mostly protein. A lack of protein in the diet has been shown to promote hair loss (1). Biotin is essential for the production of a hair protein called keratin, which is why biotin supplements are often marketed for hair growth.
silentseeker1 omg!!! Right when my hair begin falling out I noticed this serious craving for meat (protein); it was insatiable; I ate so much meat, couldn’t get enough; and still struggling
I've been natural for 10 years, i have moisturized 4a hair...I don't overmanipulate etc.... my hair has not grown past my shoulder blades. My hair grew a little longer when I was perm between girl. I see girls all the time, "I've been natural for 4 years", and their mid back....i really don't know🤷🏿♀️maybe it's just the point of my terminal length.
You are right....I only comb through my hair when I wash my hair during that conditioning stage...once a week.....during week spritz with little conditioner fluff up put in high afro bun
1. combing through your hair, especially when its dry.
2. not using a hair regimen suited for YOU

A lot of people have scalp trauma from perms and sew ins, and need scalp restoration treatment medically.
It does depend on genetics and food intake and also the different climate we live.

This can be due to breakage, cutting off more inches than one grows on average each month, not getting enough nutrients through food etc.

True words indeed🙋♀️ sometimes we are our only enemies of progress , we have too much bad energy inside of us
Omg your makeup looks soooooooo pretty! Soft and natural and not too much 😍😍😍
There are a few things I have noticed my hair likes: (1)PH Balance (4.5- 5.5, 6 max) really matters for my hair Health and length retention. It reduces a lot of shedding and split ends. My hair loves aloe Vera based shampoos and products for this reason. (2) 12-24 hour coconut oil Pre-poo really seems to keep my hair strong and shiny and eases detangling. (3) It also loves protein infused products (with mostly moisture) on a regular basis for protein/moisture balance . (4) Detangle while damp. My hair hates soaking wet detangling, but damp is best. (5) Trim schedule. Mine is every 8 weeks, 12 max. If I wait many months like Temi, for example. My hair ends develop tiny holes that lead to split ends, knots, and breakage. I feel like me doing these things allows my hair to holds moisture well and usually doesn't need more products past wash day (weekly)
Simple Eye how do u know if you’re hair like a product?
You just said it all I notice that too I am high Porosity 4c hair my hair loves macadamia oil ,hemp seed oil,coconut oil ,grapeseed oil and silk amino acids or hydrolysed silk protein
Little Afro Because my hair will feel manageable and soft yet strong. I will be able to comb through it and style without breakage. All that and a little shine enhancement makes a product a winner in my book !
One time I went to get two cornrows and the lady saw my hair and she said it was too thick for her to do two on. She said she can do four. Listen she started combing my hair straight dry like I had washed it but the water was dried out dried out. It was the most painful hair experience I’ve ever had and she didn’t even think to put cream until midway and it wasn’t a lot. Although she didn’t offer to stop I should’ve just left cause who knew how much hair I lost. When she started braiding my hair it felt really tight and when I got home bubbles was around my edges. Never again ! My head was hurting for a good two weeks practically.. I’m recovering from two years ago still learning what works best for my natural and keeping it moisturized thanks !
Girl NEVER again. Let someone do that to you! Some of these hair dressers don't like to see me with beautiful hair ( even if they r black!)
Be careful who u let touch your hair...
Very Clear information. I'm very thankful for how excepting our hair and to appreciate our ethnic selves...BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
I know I’m late replying to your video however I just have to say that you are the most realistic on giving hair tips especially on 4c type hair. I have come cross so many vids on hair growth/hair health etc.., and I must say yours is the most realistic and helpful. Thanks for your help! 🌷
THANKS for the EXCELLENT advice... I'm not the blogger you are but you forgot to mention food intake and water.. by the way gorgeous hair as always
Wonderful tips!! One more tip is to protect your nape. I discovered my winter scarf can do some damage as well. 💞
Agreed... I try to stick to Fleece, Velvet or Pashmina scarves, they're all soft, tightly woven and still keep your neck warm...Another tip would be to either use hats that are already lined with satin or wear a satin scarf/bonnet under your hat. ⛄👍✌

NT.... #2 is the reason I just couldn't retain my length. I tried what worked for everyone else hair and I paid the price for it! No more! I do what works for me :) Excellent informative video and you look amazing.
Please is Africa threading a good protective style?
Great video! #2 is so true. We need to know our own hair...everyone's hair is different
exactly.
Preach sis Preach! Finally someone who’s keeping it real! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿
Ouuuuuu, sis that lipstick is snatching my edges🤩🤩🤩
@NaturallyTemi, okay I'm loving the lipstick. Also, THANK YOU for being honest about Type 4 hair. My hair texture is 4a/b/c. I appreciate you being honest that it took seven years for your hair to grow like that. You're correct even though we have type 4 hair every person hair is different. As you stated the regimen you have works for you, but after five years of being natural I have finally found products' that works for my type 4 hair. God bless!!!!!
Thank you for stressing that hair care is an individual journey.
What works for some will not work for all.
I make my products based on the ingredients in the for sale products and formulate them for what my hair responds to. My growth is regular, but to avoid the breakage I learned to get over not wanting to trim my ends. Now, I gladly trim ends when the moon is growing.
totallly agree with reason #5 people are so obsessed with curl definition
It’s true as king S it looks neat and you care for it , don’t force hair to do what it doesn’t want to do . Whatever curl I get I rock with it and that’s that .
Naturally Temi some ppl can get away with not combing. I've tried it for months unsuccessfully. I went back to combing my hair only on wash days & hydrating days. I wanna add, im very gentle with my hair while combing. My hair is growing beautifully. But I still love your videos Temi💗
VISITED: 10:17 AM.

A LIGHT BULB!!!
I'M GOING TO STOP COMBING THROUGH!!! ANY MORE!!!
BLESSINGS!!! THANK YOU!!!, SISTER!`
Update?
Love your gorgeous hair......compliment coming from a 4c texlaxed person. Yes you don't see a lot of natural 4 hair types looking like yours. I know some whose hair length stay very short and the same length for years and years and not because they are cutting it.
Aria Aria:
My hair is like that.
I don't think that it is growing it stays short for years, and I have not cut it.
Reason 3 is like the best advice I've heard.
But it's just that my hair is really really slow in growing so irs discouraging too😁
Thank you! Great tips on not combing through my hair. Don't know why I haven't thought of this. Lol!
Absolutely beautiful hair and skin. Thank you so much. I finally came across a video, where everything made sense and I could relate to.
Do people ever tell you that you resemble Tempest Bledsoe? Beautiful haar!
Her hair is beautiful love it. Anyway to be honest you can listen to a 1000 ways how to grow long hair, every individual is different. My hair is thick, nice length, doesn’t take long to grow and all I do is oil and leave it alone sometimes braided, I don’t wash or condition everyday I probably shampoo once or twice a month.. my hair grows fine .. especially when I slap my wig on and call it a day I don’t bother my hair much. I seen people try rice water it dried and broke out their hair, I seen people do all kinds of things, genetics does play a very big part and whatever works for you.
Has anyone ever told you..you resemble Remy Ma a little bit? Beautiful sis!
at first glance when i looked at the screen i thought you was Vanessa from The Bill Cosby Show....both beautiful young ladies
Wow girl! Your hair is banging! It’s so beautiful. So long and full. Gorgeous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen natural hair so beautiful.🤗
Thoes earring are righteous!
Jody watley want em back
Your hair never actually stops growing (unless you have a condition like Alopecia) it just doesn't show because it is breaking at the same rate that it grows.
What is that
@@blacklyfe5543 When you hair doesn't grow
@@beautyandbrains1695 ok my hair still growing but slowly
I definitely needed to hear every word that you spoke, I am truly inspired by what you had to say. From now on there is nothing I won't do to keep my hair thriving and to test the roads and obstacles on my hair journey to shoulder length hair. (I'm trying to keep my goals realistic I'm in the awkward stage of my hair)
This is one of the realist videos I've seen about 4c hair. Good job.
None of the women in my family had long hair.. I’ve been the only female in my family that has shoulder length growing down to my collar bone. I take very good care of my hair like it’s a baby..
Hair Chronicles keep it going ✨✨
Adicolle Reine Thank you love!
Wow. That's so weird! I'm the opposite! My hair is about where u described ( shoulder/collar ) and I have the SHORTEST hair in my family!! These ppl can grow hair so fast! I feel like choking them! And it's a huge blk family
( of course we have Indian ancestors_ like All blk ppl!)
But some of them can sit on their damn hair! And it grows like weeds! I struggle trying to get to BSL! to no avail. Even some of the babies have hair down their back, and have passed me already! And they all have such thick beautiful hair!
. My brother stopped cutting his about 3 yrs ago and it's almost to his damn waist!! Thick gorgeous, wavy, jet black hair! It makes me want to punch him! And about 100 other ppl in my huge long _ass / haired family!! Ugggg!!!!
I had to come to terms with the fact that there are many natural hair favorites that my hair sideyes: shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, eco styler gel, and heavy butters- it absolutely hates that shea moisture restorative mask and most all shea moisture shampoos. Also Trader Joe's nourish and spa gave me no slip. But mineral oil gives me tons of slip, and my hair likes a little mineral oil mixed with conditioner for detangling. Mineral oil may be considered a no no, but my hair loves it, along with ph balance for detangling purposes. I've learned that if a conditioner's ph is greater than 5.5, detangling is a nightmare.
Mineral oil is fine. And so is grease. Most of the new fangled “natural” products are watered down. Which is why they don’t work well. They’re also way too expensive to be such a hit & miss. The local hair store products with softee, blue magic, & luster’s pink brands work so much better. They’re also significantly cheaper.
seven USP grade mineral oil from laxative section. Costs like $2
seven I don't really use grease because it's usually so heavy, but I have been thinking about trying the blue magic coconut oil one for my ends.
I’m guilty of number 5 🤦🏾♀️ I always do 4 to 5 braids at night, so I can have some definition and less tangles
Oh lord her hair!😍😍😍😍 Forever my hair crush😘
Massaging the scalp also helps to stimulate hair growth.👌
I’m a guy, starting to take care of his natural hair and I have 4C hair so your videos are really really helping me and you’re beautiful! ✊🏾
Timi I miss seeing you at church with that gorgeous hair. I started to grow mine and I don't have length or volume. Come have a pow wow with us on how to grow our lovely tresses. Go young lady, I'm so proud of you. (Sis. Angel) shouting out my young ppl.
Thank you for this video. All my life, I've set my goal to have long and healthy type 1 and 2 hair. I realized that I couldn't have that type of hair because I'm black and the natural hair we have is beautiful because of it's kinkiness. When I had a perm my goal was to have Caucasian people's hair (not trying to be racist or rude but I'm saying what type of hair i wanted). I recently had my big chop from permed hair to natural a month ago. I've spent the 7 months of my transition hating that I couldn't comb through my hair, then I grew to hair my 4c puff starting to grow under my permed hair. I thought it was going to be easy, but experiencing what i experience with my hair isn't and will not ever be realistic. I've been training my hair to loosen up and get soft because the thickness of my hair is outrageous. This video helped me think of a more realistic plan for my hair in 2 years. I've been training it with moisturizer and natural products everyday and I'm consistent with it because you have to be consistent with my type of hair. Now I'm learning to love my texture because of it's beauty and because it's not so simple to do things with my hair. Others have a short-cut to combing and training their hair, but I get the journey and I'm glad I do. I'm only in 7th grade learning this stuff and I'm proud that i'm so young learning so when I'm older I KNOW my hair. (Emphasis on the "know")
Just subscribed... 😍love your hair and makeup!... will you do a makeup tutorial for beginners?
I can leave my crochet braids in for 3-4 weeks max. My scalp is dry and it itches. My hats off to people who can leave theirs in longer, I wish I could. This is very good information.
Thanks dear❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Nandi I hate wigs. I hate my scalp being completely covered from air. Idk it's weird
@Nandi the problem isn't being able to care for my hair, it's more so worrying about my high porosity ends that I can't get to to properly moisturize. I also have a very itchy dry scalp, so that's why I can't keep them very long
@Andrea_ never even knew that was a thing. Thank you so much, will try it in a few weeks with my next set of braids!! Thanks dear!!
@ India T--- that's easy! Use Dr Miracle Spray for itchy scalp or any brand of your choice. The reason your scalp itches after a braid or crochet is cos of irritation & dryness. This works for me...I hope it does for u..🤔
some people's hair grows faster than others someone's 7 years may only take 3 for someone else. I only trimmed mine once a year. Only get mine washed, conditioned and blown out/flat ironed every other month and I don't use heat in between. Since I have been natural going on 4 years it grows even faster. It's different strokes for different folks but I'm not always manipulating my hair I keep it wrapped all the time until I step out. Vitamins help too.
Thanks for this video upload. I have had stunted growth for 2 years and it really grt to get a new insight from u
dmn. this was JUST the sermon i needed to hear on my annoying overly protective-styling self. GOSH! ive been taken to 4C hair church. i promise to not over manipulate and just LET MY HAIR chill out. In a cute way tho. cute. great video! keep preachin sista!
Thanks for the tips. I have been natural now for one year and my hair is flourishing. You are so inspiring.
God knew what Jah was doing when Jah made 4c. Gorgeous!!!
Everything you said was accurate and nicely stated. You weren't tryin to be an expert for all, just sayin what helps you and suggestions for others. Nice caring advice. Im a natural also and know for fact ur advice was true! And u look like Denise from Cosby show! Beautiful sista. God bless u. Thanks girl! 🙏 watching from Nebraska!
Can you make a winter routine for us, please? and tell us how much you wash yoour hair and moisturize it
I’m doing no heat challenge for a year! Results are amazing! Absolutely no breakage.
Yes Yes That's Why I Love U Cause Your Tutorials R The Truth U Break It Down Thank U For These Great Tips👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💜💜💜💜💜
ah thanks so much for watching
@@temiadesina
Hi, my first time watching your video.
You are a realist..
I will definitely subscribe..
Thank you...
While detangling always comb from the bottom of the hair strand and work your way up😊it'll save you from combing your hair out💯then when it's not tangled anymore you can comb through it
You are gorgeous. To be honest the pictures you chose for the cover. I love, I don't have trouble growing my hair. I just came to see your hair. And seeing if there anything else I need to know.
is it just me or was anyone else not paying attention to what this girl is saying and just thinking how BEAUTIFUL she is?
gorgeous ❤️ black is everything ‼️
I am not sure why your channel int bigger than it is. You have great hair and great content. Keep Grinding
My suggestion is to use water based products and hair creams
Like Argon oil
Or deep conditioning olive oil
and use leave in conditioners and plait your hair to stop it from shrinking
Thanks so much for all your valuable information... this was just what l needed to hear. I learned a lot from it.. and l will remember to be patient and not manipulate my hair and just let grow how it will... Thanks again can’t wait for your next hair video. 👋
Ik you may already know this, But sis, YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR!
Can you do like a « week in my hair journey » cause I really want to know how you keep your hair stretched. Thank you 😘❤️
I just Thank Y'all Beautiful Black Queens for wearing y'all Hair Natural thank y'all for being my Heaven
I’ve been natural for 7 years now, and my hair never grew, until I became a vegan… Weird but as soon as I hit my 1 year mark, my hair grew like 4-5 inches… I’ve been a vegan now for almost 2 years and my hair is super long now. It’s crazy
Because eating a high vegan diet all them nutrients are going to your hair making it grow longer
Your absolutely correct we have to adjust to our own hair.. Know your own hair..
I just post on your recent video regarding my hair growth and you just confirmed to me it takes time. It’s growing longer than ever I just guess I wish it would grow faster but it’s right above my shoulders. Your hair is beautiful thanks for this video your great. I’m glad I found your channel so I’m subscribing to your channel now thanks❤️
TRIMMING IS THE NUMBER ONE CULPRIT.
my broke off hair stayed stagnant for years and i didnt know why. Now its growing because im trimming. Also i take 45mg iron which help with growth and breakage. Stimulates redblood cells. Plus it gives me energy.
It's crazy bw are finally learning about their hair because we were always told it was to ugly to be bothered with
I love your hair, i think it’s beautiful and i love the content of your video, and I agree with most things you said, but everybody hair grows, maybe at different rates but everybody hair grows.
After using a comb all my life, only using a pick and hands is going to take some getting used to. My hair is VERY kinky and I notice how much hair I lose when I use combs so I definitely plan to use this method. I'll see how it works out. Thanks for the tips.
That lipstick tho.... 🔥. Looks great on you!
Thank you for your honesty on natural hair growth and reasons why the rate of growth, is not living up to our expectations sometimes, I feel that my hair growth is slower because of continuous twisting the hair. I started doing wash and go’s to help.
Needed this babe! you can't do the work for us!!
thanks babe
Your hair is sooooo bomb
thank you
Yeah
Trying to detangle any type of hair with a fine tooth comb is bad. I have really fine straight Caucasian hair and even I have to use a wide tooth comb or rake brush to detangle.
Your hair is naturally long and full. Thanks
Thanks for some good advice. I have just started a regime and am giving myself six months to see some results and to settle into a regime that works for me
.. thanks again. Your hair looks wonderful 🌸🌸
This is the best video I have watched. You're so real, straight forward and sincere, I love that and then You, your hair simply amazing and beautiful. I love my hair and crown,I love this journey. Thank you❤️
YES!!!! Make a video of the products/regimen that you DON'T like! It teaches us and is SOOOOO helpful!
Healthy hair depends on a healthy scalp. Plus, some people have naturally long hair without effort.
Thank you for this video because I shaved my hair in August 2020 when I was 17, almost 3 months till my 18th birthday. I shaved my hair because my mother made me perm it my entire life and at that point my hair was damaged beyond repair so I had no choice but to cut it all off. It hurt to comb and brush my hair and it was constantly falling out.
I was bald all throughout 2021 and I loved it because honestly I looked good with a shaved head. For my new years resolution for 2022 I wanted to grow my hair again. Thanks to your video I was able to do it, I wish I can post a picture on a TH-cam comment because I took a picture at the end of every month to see my progress. I put my hair in dreads by July 2023 and it has helped my hair grow 2x more. It’s is May 2024 as I am typing this comment❤I learn to love my hair and my hair loves me❤
one thing I do on the list is to OVER MANIPULATE, like I'll want it to be perfect, but when I stopped doing it every night, it looks better, so thank you, this video was very helpful! ~
I think it’s a great idea to post the products that didn’t work. You did mention try to see what works for your hair so good points both ways.
In my opinion one very important factor was left out and that is your diet. Your hair is what you eat and eating adequate protein is important for hair growth because hair follicles are made of mostly protein. A lack of protein in the diet has been shown to promote hair loss (1). Biotin is essential for the production of a hair protein called keratin, which is why biotin supplements are often marketed for hair growth.
silentseeker1 omg!!! Right when my hair begin falling out I noticed this serious craving for meat (protein); it was insatiable; I ate so much meat, couldn’t get enough; and still struggling
Soooo when you getting some crochet braids again? I dont think I've seen you with braids!
I've been natural for 10 years, i have moisturized 4a hair...I don't overmanipulate etc.... my hair has not grown past my shoulder blades. My hair grew a little longer when I was perm between girl. I see girls all the time, "I've been natural for 4 years", and their mid back....i really don't know🤷🏿♀️maybe it's just the point of my terminal length.
You are right....I only comb through my hair when I wash my hair during that conditioning stage...once a week.....during week spritz with little conditioner fluff up put in high afro bun
