OOPS! I forgot to mention that I redid these plaits every 4-5 weeks to remove shed hair and reduce matting. But I've had this specific style in for 4 months. I hope I didn't cause any confusion lol ALSOOOOOOO HAPPY SUNDAY!!! Yall iight? per usual, watch in 4k.. it's a vibe. trust me.

@Gladiator_in_a_Suit Месяц назад

I’m waist length sis and to be honest with you it does get easier to maintain as it gets longer 😊, the routine you have established stays with you always no matter how long your hair gets. But as your hair reaches waist length and beyond you’ll probably want to style with bigger sections to avoid the “burnout” of doing your hair. 😊

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

Yea cause the burnout is reallllllll Lol I like the idea of bigger sections. You might be on the something there! But I don’t see the “easier” part yet. When does that start though , cause I’m ready 🤔🤣

@LivingInTheShade Месяц назад

I am fine haired too. I understand the struggle with the nape area. I have bought a satin wrap headband to wear at night to see if that helps. Youve done well, your hair is coming along in leaps and bounds.

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

Def satin everything for us lol and thanks!!!

@LivingInTheShade Месяц назад

@@SharatiaBanks I've been wearing satin headscarves for years. I think the head wrap will make a massive difference as it will cancel out the friction and protect those fragile hairs. They already started growing back in as I treat that area differently to the rest of my hair. I'll let you know how I get on.

@A_Wilson Месяц назад

Plaits are THE perfect protective style for me too! Mine are quite a bit bigger, but the convenience in terms of maintenance and the benefits for my hair cannot be fully explained! 😅 You’re almost at you goal girl!! 👏💕😄

@lwilson3005 Месяц назад

I end up cutting 4 inches off. I finally got the guts to cut off the back all over my hair. 4 inches straight, too many split ends and breakage from overputting heat. Had to do it. I understand some people don't want to cut off so much of the hair but I had to but you will see your hair. Feel a lot stronger on your ends when you do so

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

you only cut the back? if so how did you style it?cause I feel like the back being so short in comparison to the rest of my head would look awkward especially since I wear plaits instead of cornrows. I kinda wanna let it grow out a lil more so it's not too far off from the rest of my head. ion know, maybe I'll just cut it. it is only the back of my head and I can just have the plaits cover it. idk. what do you think? just cut, huh?

@a.violet5905 Месяц назад

Thanks for the update! I'm a fairly new subscriber. Your hair is very much like mine, fine strands and very easy to break. I had been protective styling in twists, but my 4 textures (3c scattered on the top and sides with 4a-c all over) were not having it because it would get tangled and poofy so easily. I got wind of braiding with my own hair through you and other ladies and it's working well! I only do it a month at a time because yeah, my texture is inconsistent and needs freshening at about a month in. It may get better as I work on nutrition (next step in my hair journey). Thanks again. Your hair is beautiful! I can't wait to reach my own goals! It's just nice to see so many Black women reaching their hair goals now. It really does leave no excuses. There are too many wonderful examples like yours to inspire.

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

THANKS FOR SHARING!!!! I'm so happy it's been working for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and yes, nutrition is so major during this journey! do you take a multivitamin? @a.violet5905

@a.violet5905 Месяц назад

@@SharatiaBanks Yes I do. I wasn't taking them for a while and started taking a multivitamin for women in my age group (40+). A week later I had way more energy than before. It's definitely working well for me. I'm expecting fast growth since my hair grows faster during the warm/hot seasons than in the late fall through winter. Daily scalp massages and my own hair oil has worked well for me. I'm hoping for bra strap by this time next year and then on to waist length and beyond!

Well I haven’t had an opportunity to wear them at a fancy event BUT I’d def do a side part with a bun and probably swoop/lay my edges. Or a low ponytail with a plait wrapped around the elastic. And I’d probably braid my ends the night before so it would be crinkle. That would be cute 🥰

@Brightesteyes2024 Месяц назад

What was the thought process behind choosing these plaits/braids. wouldn't cornrows be a better way to retain length, why did braids appeal to you

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

I apologize in advance for the long explanation lol 1. if I wear cornrows, ima look like Cleo from Set It off and then Shemar Moore from diary of a Mad Black Woman when they grow out. No thanks 2. One of the characteristics of having fine hair is that it tangles easily. When my hair is cornrowed, no amounts of detangling can stop the tangles while I braid it or unbraid it. Especially after they've been washed?!?! talk about matting!! sheesh lol 3. I can do more styles with plaits than cornrows back 4. I can shampoo, deep condition, and moisturize them better. 5. For me, plaits have less tension on my scalp (Edit) 6. My plaits lasted longer than my cornrows. It was liking bad by week 2. But with the plaits I don’t have to redo for 4-5 weeks. It could last longer but I like to redo to manage matting Those are the main reasons

@zimasamabude708 Месяц назад

Can I ask why you don't use water during your take down process but instead use oil/ conditioner? Is it better to use than water or is it just your prefrence? Lots of love from South Africa!!!

@SharatiaBanks Месяц назад

Sure! So, water makes natural hair curl up. And depending on how long the hair was in the style, the products and dirt can build up which causes more tangles with the shed hair. Oil or conditioner creates a slip factor to remove them

@SharatiaBanks 29 дней назад

could it be nutrition or even something as simple as how your wrap your hair at night. when I used to tie my hair I had a knot from the scarf at the same place around my edges and it caused traction alopecia. it grew back once I changed how I wrapped it. do you often pick at the front of your hair? wear a headband, etc?

@SharatiaBanks 29 дней назад

well, they say the average person's hair grows .5 in a month. that would be 6 inches in a year. the average head to waist is 2 feet. so I'd say 4 years but because of epigenetics, good nutrition, and healthy routine, you can get there faster. but that's the beauty of time and our growth. if we take our mind off it, it'll seem like it got there in no time cause regardless, time is going and our hair is growing. you got this!
