10 REASONS YOUR HAIR WON'T GROW (and how to fix it) 

I don't know who needs to hear this but know that whenever you feel alone, God is with you. Whenever you feel like you're unimportant, God's got all His eyes on you. Whenever you feel like everybody has forgotten about you, God remembers and thinks of you. You may not see Him but He sees you. He's eagerly waiting for you to notice him and to start a loving father-child relationship with you. He'll never fail you. He for sure never failed me. He's real and alive! God bless whoever reads this and may you overcome all your struggles, sorrows and receive spiritual, mental and physical healing. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I'm a father who tries his best to maintain his daughter's natural hair. Your videos help out a lot! Thanks for doing what you do. You're beautiful!

1. Using too much heat. 2. Not deep conditioning ( do it twice a month) 3. Detailing dry hair ( do it when wet or w/ conditioner) 4. Styling hair too often ( once a week is enough) 5. Too much tension or tight/pulling or uncomfortable hairstyles. 6. Poor diet & not enough water. 7. Moisturize hair & tip of hair 8. Stimulate scalp 9. Use products for specifically for your hair 10. Protect your hair w/ silk or satin.

Working out 5 times a week Drinking water with lemon Wearing protective styles Spritz with aloe Vera juice and water or a moisturizer that is ph 4-5 Use Shea butter Oil scalp with fenugreek oil Prepoo with oil Use a clarifying shampoo and a moisturizer shampoo Deep condition No hair dye Take a multi vitamin Stay away from McDonald’s Relax. Read a book, listen to music and be patient 😊

Mistakes and in parentheses the recommendation: 1) using too much heat (extend the time between heat styling or eliminate it altogether) 2) not deep conditioning regularly (do it twice a month) 3) detangling hair when it's dry (detangle when hair is wet and with conditioner) 4) styling hair too often (protective styles such as buns, twists, braids etc) 5) styles that cause too much tension (dont choose styles that are too tight) 6) what you eat (increase water intake, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables 7) not moisturizing hair especially the ends (moisturize that hair gurl) 8) no scalp stimulation ( massage your head with your moisturizer) 9) using the wrong products (choose products that make your hair feel and look good) 10) not protecting hair when sleeping ( use silk or satin scarf or pillowcases)

Please understand that what works for one may not work for others. Examples, Biotin grows the hell out of my nails but does nothing for my hair. Rice water damaged my hair but it grew my youngest daughter's hair 2 inches in a month. I have not personally tried Aloe Vera yet but it did nothing for my oldest daughter's hair. Also, I eat a healthy diet and drink alot of water-still no difference in hair growth and retention. That is why RU-vid is such a great forum so everyone can research, listen to other natural's routine and that way you can experiment to see what works for you.

She looks so gorgeous in this video. Love the makeup, lilac off the shoulder sweater and the huge Afro puff. Just beautiful😍😍

Don't forget iron pills for those that are anemic. Low iron will also not let your hair grow

I had short shoulder hair my whole life I thought I was just destined to have short, dry, broken hair. However, I was ABUSING my strands with heat (even when my hair was dirty), relaxers, tight braids, you name it. I had never moisturized my hair or even knew what deep conditioner was. My "hair care" consisted of shampoo maybe every two months and 5 mins of a random conditioner. Never got trims. In April/May, I decided to turn it around. I got a good trim. I have been washing and deep conditioning every 2 weeks. Wearing styles that protect my natural hair that are NOT tight at all. I have been heat free and the breakage has really reduced. I haven't noticed any serious growth yet but my hair is not dry any more and it does not break nearly as much. Before, I used to comb my hair and my shirt would be covered in little broken hairs. Now its healthy and moisturized and hopefully growing!

My hair has never been past my shoulders since I was 10 years old my mom gave me a perm and I had to get a big chop I was blow drying my hair almost everyday and I’m just like why isn’t my hair growing so I started watching yt videos and I stopped using heat completely I deep condition every week I wear mini twists and mini braids I oil my scalp every 2 days I also detangle while my hair is wet and I used to use a wig brush but that broke my hair off a lot so now I use a scalp massager to detangle and I barely get breakage anymore and I started to trim my own ends I sometimes detox my hair as well and now my hair is past my shoulders I am so proud of myself 😁😌

Everyone needs to remember that on an average, our hair grows half an inch a month. That's 6 inches a year and 30 inches in five years WHEN YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. It's not magic, it's consistent care. Take good care of your hair and you'll retain length.

I try to add water to my hair daily even when I have a protective style on. It does wonders!

That PUFF though!!!! 😍😍😍

Kim. I have noticed the difference in your hair over the years. You’re definitely one of the OGs who’s still putting out banging content. Great tips! I’m doing the hair challenge with you this year. My hair thickening like nobody’s business!

No heat for 3yrs. Love my natural healthy hair. Wish I had done this years ago! But it's never to late guys. I started my journey 6 months ago. Unbelievable results

Strangely enough, I'm on the opposite end. When I was relaxed, my hair throughout childhood and early adulthood grew effortlessly. Now that I'm natural (4c) I've had to overcome a number of setbacks and errors. Mostly I've learned to deep condition, moisturize regularly and leave it alone throughout the week. Still learning and thankful for the natural community.

I just started using Aussie and is been the best decision ever,it makes my hair super soft and manageable to comb through,guys believe her. pleaseeeeeeee go get you an Aussie conditioner

A recommendation I have is Exercise! Gets the blood and the nutrients flowing, it’s a effective way to stimulate hair growth! If your worried about your hair smelling funky, spraying it with some witch hazel and your fav essential oil should help :)

all i say is, "dont be a prisoner of hair". if u wonna dye your hair, cut it, texturize etc, just do it. it is hair, it will still grow again.

I noticed that washing my hair every week was too much manipulation. Now I wash my hair every two weeks and I've retained my hair length.

I haven’t used heat on my hair in almost 2 years (since I shaved my head for the 2nd time). I wet my hair, moisturize it, and apply castor oil to seal everything daily/every other day. I twist or re-twist my hair when needed. I trim monthly/bi-monthly & it’s honestly growing the best it ever has. It helps that I’m too lazy to straighten my hair or doing any kind of intricate styling, lol. I just moisture it and twist it into chunky twists and throw on a wig or head wrap, lol ❤️

- You can also get heat damage from the sun. So, when you’re going outside (especially for long periods of time) be sure to protect your hair accordingly. Great video, Kim! ❤️❤️

I am going through this right now. My 4c hair isn't growing pass my shoulders and I have been natural for 3 years now. So I definitely need to his video!

45 days ago. I changed the way I ate. I always drink water but I increased my fruits and veggies. I too use Aussie conditioner for deep condition sometimes. I have been using pure aloe to condition my hair and homemade aloe oil to massage it. There is a noticeable difference and I love it Protective styles and changing what I put in my body has helped me.

definitely diet. i have been following your channel for years bc we have similar hair textures and when you went vegan, your hair just flourished! I had a stint of eating healthier and exercising and both my hair and my nails grew longer, but I didn't maintain it unfortunately. so I think diet is a major factor in hair growth.

3 months no heat, just for deep conditioning. Deep conditioning once a week. Sealing my moisture. Hair protective styles. Massaging my scalp once or twice a week , using a silk pillowcase and covering my hair at night. Trimming every 6 months. Slowly but surely seeing results.

I love your esthetics and color choices - how your lips and eyeshadow match, the match between your sweater and nails. Absolutely gorgeous!

Honestly, ever since i started watching your videos, I noticed such a change in my hair. My hair has always been thick and healthy but i never could retain my length. I'm just about 1 1/2 years in of cutting hair to my neck (too chump for big chop) and my hair is flourishing. The way it curls up when i went it, i just loveeee. Also, detangling was a major thing for me. I never detangled and washed my hair all together, brushing with shampoo, and just not knowing wtf i was doing. All of your tips have worked. I'll go to other channels too but I always come back to yours. I stopped wearing weaves personally because i'm so bad with taking them out. I yank and pull because I don't have patience however i've been doing the braids for most of the year and my hair is back where it was when I cut it.... but healthier. Love all my sistas for their channels and helping us understand our hair.

I realized exactly what you said my hair was growing but the rate of the breakage was higher than the growth so I made 5 changes (oiling and massaging my scalp every night with castor oil and wild growth mixture, trimming followed by split end serum every 3 months, properly detangling my hair, deep conditioning and no more blow drying completely air) my hair is much more healthier. moisturized and every time I take my braids out I notice my growth

Approximately 3 years ago I decided to follow all of Kim's tips from "How to Grow Hair Long, Think, & Healthy " video. Ever since, my hair has flourished! This is the longest my hair has ever been and the healthiest. It is thick and down to my mid-back. Many of the things she said in her video 3 years ago are reiterated here. I highly recommend following her advice consistently, and you will see results. Thank you Kim for all that you do on TheChicNatural; it has changed my hair journey forever.

You have been one of my Favorite RU-vidrs for years girl. YEARS!!! I just wanted to Thank You for continuing to bring us good and honest to God content. Love this channel.

First of all I just want to say that I have been following you for so many years and I absolutely love your channel! Everything you mentioned in this video is 100% facts! I went through so many products and techniques that never worked. And I found that like you, my hair does not like to be manipulated too much. So I keep my hair braided down and I wear wigs as my protective styles. But when I am not in wigs I am still moisturizing and feeling my hair protecting my ends and I am so excited to try some of your new styles. Banding my hair letting it air dry and doing styles on stretched hair really do make a difference because you are not using heat. Now what I will incorporate is that edge control because your edges are laid honey! Now that my hair has grown past my bra strap I am willing to try some natural hairstyles and wear my hair out more, but still low manipulation styles. So glad to be back! I can't wait till next week to try your heatless curl method. Thank you again.

Aussie Moist is the best conditioner ever I love ❤️ of their products. Before you even said your fave I was thinking Aussie works for me.

You’re the reason I know about hair growth through scalp massages. My hair has been forever changed!

Thank u Kim! Mine was the same when I was younger because I knew nothing about moisturizing, nor did I take the time to do so. Only when I recognized the likes and dislikes of my hair did it began to flourish. One of the things my hair does not like is combs, neither does it Luke being manipulated a lot. The more I leave it alone, the better it grows. Left me with getting rid of so many products that worked for someone else, but my hair hated it. Thank u for sharing and keep it up, looks great!

I love that this video isn’t saying “get this product or get that product” it’s more of making sure your deep conditioning or not using heat. I really appreciate this video.

Wow, you're almost at 2 million subscribers! Another great video!🥰

This has motivated me to not give up on my hair. I’ve been natural my whole life. The only time my hair was pass my shoulders was when I had locks and they was very fine too. Definitely going to keep at it. Great video

You read my mind this morning. I woke up looking for ways to improve my hair and boom here you come saving the day. Thank for this video.

I recently cut my hair due to color/heat damage, this video came just in time as I get back on the journey to healthier/longer hair. Great tips and your hair is gorgeous! 💞

I've been on a water base hair care regimen since Nov. '19: fermented rice water (with orange peels for scent), and aloe vera. Never through away the AV skin; you can get all of the nutrients when you boil it. Let the water cool, squeeze the water out of the leaves/skin, and then refrigerate. My hair has been growing like wild flowers. I spray AV on my hair/scalp daily.

Perms have definitely stunted my hair growth. My hair stayed the same length for so many years. Now that I stopped putting perms in my hair, it won't stop growing. And my hair would always break in the middle of my head and now it's strong like the rest of my hair. You would have to offer me a million dollars to ever put a perm back in my hair.

Hello Kim, I am 51 year's old I been following you for a couple years now, I like your mentality because you are very real and natural, so I've been following you about 4 years now, in my hair is wonderful, and have grown so much length, I follow you from washing my hair to all other things, and I want to say thank you, and also tell others how to do their hair and it's helping them, God bless you young lady and keep doing what you doing.

Kim, I remember where you came from and I'm so proud of you. We have the same hair type and I should be where you are but I'm not....you have SURPASSED me SO I'm going to implement these tips...thumbs up if you remember when #theChicNatural was #backsyncfan... love your channel girlie

My diet helped me lots water, more fruits and vegetables also moving more.. keeping its protected aswell for more than a week at a time and aloe vera products

Its the lashes for me!! 😍😍😍

Yes, sis. i am one who, went year after year seeing no hair growth, when i tripped the perm from my hair and started taking care of my over all body, that when i started seeing results, i make sure to trim my ends when needed, that has been the greatest thing, and deep conditioning has been a game changer, when i first started my hair Journey my hair was so thirsty that i could just rub my strands and it would rub off like cotton, now i don't have any of those problems, I've learned so much on this natural hair journey, Thanks so much for this video!!

I remember you from back in the day! It’s amazing to see how big your channel has grown. Me and my cousin used to talk about how cool and laidback your videos are. What I really like about you and your content is you’re not putting on this whole internet black act. So many black female natural channels are overdoing the “sis” persona and it’s exhausting. It’s too much to sit through sometimes. You’re not putting on an act- you’re simply being yourself and it’s so refreshing. Gonna start tuning in again!

I wash my hair as often as I need to. I deep condition every single time I wash and finger detangle it while I’m doing so and I have notice less hair fall and breakage. After I’m done, section my hair and apply a leave in with a heavy oil on my ends and hair shaft then plat my hair and let it air dry. I do stretch my hair out by bobby-pinning my plats from one side to the other so it can be more stretched out.

My hair has always been long since I was a child. My mom took great care of my hair taking me to the shop, getting ends trimmed, putting a scarf on at night. So I had a good routine but as an adult, especially in my 20s, I found my hair shedding and breaking a lot. Long story short: I manipulated it too much! I was always changing styles, like daily. I used heat on my hair a lot trying to make it look smooth and straight. Once I decided to go 100% natural (I used to relax 3-4x per year) I would only use heat 3-4x per year for getting trims. And I always do a lot of protective styles. Now my hair doesn't shed and break so much.

I truly learned more about my hair after i cut my locs. I too had never obtain shoulder length hair until i grew my locs. Then i di the big chop and started all over again. Soon i will achieve shoulder length hair. I keep my hair (only my natural hair, no hair added) in box braids during the winter and wrap my head for protection. I have discovered that my hair loves to be left alone. It does not like to be out and loose (my hair breaks during this time). I have definitely stopped blow drying my hair and i now clip my ends as needed. Thanks for this vid.

Thank you so much. I needed this. My natural hair is hard to take care of. I never noticed the things I was stopping my hair from growing. I want to thank you again. I love your hair tips. They really help me.

One thing I’d like to mention about detangling: "dry" detangling using just an oil & no water is an option as well. I learned that my hair prefers “dry” finger detangling using an oil pre-poo. I know it’s not the most common type of detangling, but whenever I tried it wet with conditioner, all of the product essentially turns into glue once it’s wet. WhatLiesBeneathTheWeave and PowerInYourCurl also “dry” detangle using an oil. Just mentioning this because I didn’t know this was an option before I saw someone else mention it.

The best thing I did for my hair was deep conditioning my here every week, finding good moisturizing products, and find styles that I could leave alone for at least a week. My hair was in a horrible state. It was always breaking off around my edges and would never grow past my shoulders, but now after a year my hair is 11'' long and I love it. All the advice given in this video is totally correct, I do everything but stimulate my scalp and have a healthier diet. Those two things I still need to change.

I have been on this heatless journey with you and I can definitely see more hair growth...it was hard at first but now I don't even think about flat irons or blow dryers.

I remember your hair from those days and when I saw it flourish like this I was amazed and happy for you! ❤ your hair is beautiful!

Hair grows some people just don’t know how to retain length. Trim, protect, and moisturize! ✨

*I made the decision to care for my afro natural hair this year and it was one of the best decisions I've made! I was thinking that my hair doesn't grow until I started this journey and the most amazing thing is that I've been sharing my journey on my channel to motivate other ladies and they seen results! Have you tried any natural hair treatments? What do you recommend about using aloe vera for hair growth? You look gorgeous Sis!*

You are my original favorite you tube person. Thank you for everything you do and your hard work. It ain't easy. 💘

This is a video my thick 4c needed bc it’s growing but still looks like the same little curly puff 😩👏🏽

I agree that eating healthier and drinking water helps. Less to no heat. Finding the right products and minimizing those products helps. I only use 3. I also agree touching your hair less helps. My hair stays in twists and the only time they get messed with is to retwist. Tight hairstyles have to be an issue bc it’s tight lol. Idk how people can function with it tight. I too struggled with long hair and it was a constant daily prayer to have long hair and nails, which I now have both. It’s definitely a lot of trial and error but anything worth having takes true commitment and prayer. The Lord always leads and guides. Loved the video. You be blessed.

Need this!! Quarantine has made me embrace my natural hair and its definitely lacking moisture

Everything you shared I know to do, just haven't been faithful in doing it. Thank you for the reminder and encouragement! Your hair and you are beautiful

Great tips!!! I was nodding in agreement the whole way thru!! I'm 10 years no relaxer (never grew out past a neck length bob) but sadly only 1 year natural thriving lol. Products, deep conditioning, protecting hair from breakage and diet REALLY make a difference. Took me waay too long to realize coconut oil was not for me!! I have goals for great growth RETENTION in the future. Love your vids!! 😍😍😍

These hair styles are lit 🔥😍

I've found that you really don't need to do much. Wash, deep condition, oil message your scalp, keep heat and tension styles to a minimum and trim your ends as needed, protientreatments once a month. Wear a silk scarf when sleeping. Figure out what products works best for your hairtype. I've always had long hair since childhood and would always get asked what do I do... this is my routine....Keep it simple.

By far the best video for hair I've seen. You we're Very thorough honest and specific

Thank you for the AUSSIE product recommendation. Wash day has been changed for ever. My hair thanks you.

I had multiple bald spots after going natural, but I started using castor oil and detangling my hair from the ends to the root. It took a while to grow that hair out, but even now my hair went from a little above shoulder length & thin to thick and at my armpit. Thanks for your tips sis!

Hair growth..diet, patience, and GENETICS. You can maintain HEALTHY hair with this or that but length (I believe) is genetics. I can grow waist length hair just as my ancestors did if I choose to but that’s with protective styles and minimal manipulation (just as my ancestors did.)

I have had short hair my whole life. It doesn’t grow past my shoulders. Will work on taking better care of it. Thanks for this video!

Girl you are amazing, just how you take care of yourself, how you share how you take care of yourself, how you eat, how you wear your make-up, your style, too much to mention........ you are perfection😪💛💛💛

I too had hair that would never grow. That all changed when I started using Henna to color my hair. Henna is natural hair conditioner and while it takes time to get used to the product and how to use it properly, overtime it improves your curl pattern and strengthens your hair. Also every six months I would do an aphogee treatment which would stop it from breaking. Lastly I would clip the ends (the very tippy ends) every month. For some reason this stimulated it to grow. It would grow faster when I would clip them and not as fast when I would not clip them. I noticed that fact when I was clipping my edges in the front. They had been really short from wearing my hair pulled back. They grew like wild fire when I started clipping them.

I deep condition ones or twice a month just trying to see what works for my hair

Thank you love for the tips and advice. I currently found out that I have low porosity hair and I researched different products that would work for my hair. My hair has done a dramatic change around since I changed the products that I have been using. It was such a huge relief for me to get my hair back on track 😁

Yes completely agree! Alot of great tips! Just takes time to learn your hair and the products that work best for you! I been natural since 2014 and it took me a few years to really learn how to take care of my hair and still learning to this day! 💕💕

Great advice! My hair growth has been awesome. Because I found out that being iron deficient can also cause breakage. My hair grew everywhere except the middle. That kept breaking at a certain point. Everyone told me it was because of pony tails, the shampoos, not getting trims. Although I stopped everything suggested. All it was is a simple iron deficiency. So that’s my advice. It works for me .

Kim, you better believe I took notes. Not only for myself but for my boyfriend who is also trying to improve his hair health and length. 😊 thank you!

Been watching her for YEARS && when I see the growth in just not the hair but the woman she’s become she’s always been lady like but baby!! She’s been my virtual sister for years💕

I've been watching yr hair journey videos for a few years now yr hair has grown so beautifully . you look gorgeous as always keep up the good work my lovely sista may many blessings come to you.

*Your hair has GROWN!* it's beautiful 🥰

I agree that deep conditioning is a MUST 🙌🏽

Hey, you really helped me a lot over the years. Like I said on one of the other videos you made you are one of the best reviews here on RU-vid and I love and appreciate you ❤ your very honest and caring and straight forward. I basically seen you grow up on here and it's amazing to see how you've grown into even more mature woman I learn how to style my hair better, I learned about different good hair products products because of you and more. Thank you

I am natural,however, I also have heat damage that I don’t believe will ever revert. I flatiron my hair 2-4 times a month because I don’t have time to try and manage my natural hair(no patience 😩). While I have length to my hair I’ve noticed throughout the years that my hair doesn’t “grow”. The only way that I have ever achieved maximum growth was from getting 🧵 sew ins ( no manipulation)or either getting my hair done professionally bi weekly (scalp massages while getting washed). I saw a major difference.I’ll be getting a sew in soon though!!!! Thanks for the tips!

One of the products that has tremendously helped my wash day is the Dove Nutritive Solutions Intensive Repair Conditioner. This helps detangling my 4b-4c hair so much easier. I also pre-poo with V05 conditioner. These two steps make wash day smoother. Also, the Dove is less than $5, and the V05 is @ $1!

Hi Kim! Great video and suggestions as always💜. I have 4b/4c hair that was naturally really thick but it got thicker and longer once I started doing some of the things you mentioned. I basically deep condition every time I wash my hair now lol. I don't use heat unless I'm sitting under a dryer on medium for 20 minutes. I also spray my hair with water & leave in daily. It has helped a lot over the past 4 years. I'm trying to figure out new ways to keep my hair protected and nourished when it's in box braids. If you have any tips that would be great. I oil my scalp more often now and my edges.

These tips really did help me and my hair has been treating me well and I do the same thing for my hair. Thank you and God bless you and I hope your channel grows more and more.

Great great video🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, ALSO, keep moisture in your hair, I use Chebe and I mixed it with several oils and butters. Every week I take my hair down use a spray bottle with water and my chebe butter mix apply to each section of my hair re-braid my hair and redo the next week . I DO NOT wash the products out. My hair has grown and its a lot thicker with VERY little shedding. I love your video, you got RIGHT to the point🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯💯✌✌❤❤

Water, fruits and vegetables definitely helped with my hair growth journey. AND keeping my hair moisturized!

DEEP CONDITIONING is essential for retaining moisture. It literally changed my life. I use heat because it makes it work better. My natural hair (4a-4b medium - low porosity) is moisturized for a week or more. It stopped my extreme breakage and my hairs softer and easier to manage. It worked so well i put it in my sisters TRANSITIONING hair haha her roots were sooo soft and she's 4b-4c.

Outstanding information. I'm a cosmetologist, and just listening to the information you gave was so on point with my education from school. I practice most of the techniques you mentioned and will take the rest into consideration. Very good video, keep of the excellent work!👍

I have always had shoulder length hair, however since establishing a solid routine, my hair grew to waist length, I stop using so much heat, I trim, and using finger combing and a wide tooth comb, moisture is the key to my hair. I love this video thanks!

I started washing and deep conditioning my hair weekly. Taking a hair,skin, nails vitamin. I do see a difference its only been 5 weeks but I see a difference

Using the right products during the right season is a good tip too I've seen a video years ago at the start of my natural hair care journey that discussed hair care during certain moon phases and how a group of people had practice this technique all of their lives. Thought it was a superstition thing or witchcraft. Turns out it is very important that you know what works for your hair during every season as your needs do change with the weather.

Thanks for adding the captions Kim. You look so beautiful. I'm guilty of not wearing my scarf or bonnets to sleep once in a while. I'm also guilty of not massaging my scalp now and then. I used to be obsessed with moisturizing my hair morning and night,then I fell off my routine and sometimes forget for a few days at a time. This was an enjoyable and informative video.👍

Love this video! You nailed it! I’m a licensed hairstylist and I tell my clients this all the time I give them the same advice what I can’t give them is patients lol thanks sharing❤️

When you squint she kinda looks like Nicki minaj 😂

I just was saying I feel like I lack hair retention. I’ve noticed it is many single strand knots and little breakages from the ends. Very annoying!

GIRLLL YOU ARE AMAZING! you are giving me hope 😭

Hello Chic natural I just found out last month that i have protein overload. I was using shea moisture products for two years. Am trying Aussie moisture now. Also I use heat once a week but at low temperature. My hair grows very slow and now I know why. I have changed my hair products and hope my hair responds well. I well let you know how it turns out. I enjoyed your videos. Please keep your head up and please have a blessed day. P.s growing up I wasn't taught to deep condition my hair. I washed and shampoo my hair and plus I had a perm until 2017 that's when I stop perming my hair and went natural. I cut all the perm off and started from a TWA.. My journey has not been easy but I love my natural 4c hair. Enjoy your day.
