😢😢😢 she just made me miss my density up until covid my hair was sooooo thick. I developed stress alopecia and I haven't gotten all back but it has shown some return its progress but it's sooo hard 😔 this mental physical and emotional plus nutrition and hair maintenance for what it needs. It is tiring and sometimes I can't always afford what I need. Slow and steady. I have also aways told people exactly what you just said
@elizabethbrim6396 a few tips: eat healthy, cardio exercise, protective style, oil/scalp massage, deep condition, moisturize, inversion method, prayer and manifestation (literally put your hair inspiration a vision board with affirmations)
@@LilyDay...o-o I can't wait to try a variation of this on my natural lengths because me and that heffa named humidity stay beefing🤣. Glad it's cooling off 🤩.
@@elizabethbrim6396 The same happened to me. After getting poked and prodded for the last 6 months by dermatologists to figure out what was wrong I cut it all off. It was adding to the stress overall for me. Good luck to you
Because all people talk in ways they've seen other people talk. And the commenter just likes the hair, so she's expressing it in the words she likes to express herself with so it's nothing to be bothered about, its human nature. If we really get down to it your comment has probably been said before too.
them: “my hair doesn’t grow” also them: doesn’t moisturize it or wash frequently enough, combs while it’s dry, gets too tight protective styles, perms it until it break off and thins out, etc etc
The only thing that you listed that impact growth is hair washing. Everything else has to do with length retention. They’re too totally opposite things.
@@6ftNaturalBeautyyou didnt understand the comment. The whole point is that they're breaking their hair by doing or not doing the things listed and that why they have the impression their hair is not growing. When people say their hair doesn't grow, they don't actually know that their hair is growing but the ends are breaking off at the same rate as the growth
It isn't really the best option for a girl or woman to display her beauty on a magazine when she knows she's God's daughter. God's daughter is modest. She does not brag about her looks. She refers to the Lord Jesus Christ. She knows she may one day decide she wants to be married and not be celibate, in which case, she wouldn't want to tarnish the good name of her future husband by being the center of attention for lustful men. She is intelligent and pure and spends her time in good works and stays away from hungry lustful eyes that would never marry her anyway. And if he did, he would turn her life into a nightmare with irresponsible behavior.

@@JC4all_denawtf? Her life does not revolve around getting a damn man. That girl is no older than a preteen. Being in a magazine will not “tarnish” anything, what a weird and disgusting thing to say.

@@hunnibunni20 what is the purpose of being on a magazine cover of Ebony or Jet when she's a preteen? Ew! Very disgusting to believe that's a good idea for a child to be exploited for her looks.
Honestly there no such thing as age appropriate because these ig models wear bows and pigtails and coulorfil rubber bands in their hair now days so what classifies as age appropriate to you? .
Yep anyone who says it’s about maintenance is wrong . Literally women in poor poor towns in Mexico have thick thick Lucious hair . I’m Mexican but I’m balding already at the age of 29 ! It’s genetics . I don’t dye or use heat on my hair and I use expensive shampoo and I have a good diet . All about Genetics
Not how fast it grows it’s just shrinks if it’s hella curly can still be longs it’s about how you comb your hair etc I use fingers to not break as much hair
@@Blasianpower2 yes genetics does determine how fast your hair grows. There are studies done to back this up with Asian hair growing the fastest at almost 2 inches per month.
@@Littlekitten_ DOES the shampoo you use contain SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE???? Definitely one of the reasons for your problem as it destroys hair follicles.
We can’t simply dismiss genetics just like we can’t say all Black hair can grow long if we just take good care of it. It’s not just hair care, it’s not just genetics. It’s both combined with our physical health and nutritional intake, texture of the hair, density, kink, curl and coil of the strands, moisture of the hair, thickness of the strands, health of the hair over all, products and hair care techniques. Pretty sure I missed other details. We need to stop using one example of exemplary hair and say that we can all have hair like that of we just believe. 🤦🏽♀️
@@NicoleGibson-87You just answered your own question 🙋🏽♀️ It is “Locked” hair. The keyword here is “Locked.” And even locked hair shedds and eventually thins out, Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder etc… Traction Alopecia etc….
I disagree. Though genetics does play a part, it's mainly hair care. It doesn't matter how fast your hair grows. If you're not taking proper care of it, it's going to appear to not be growing. I'm biracial, and my hair grows fast!! But when I moved from a humid state to an arrid one, my hair SEEMED to stop growing. When I amped up my moisturizing routine, it flourished and grew long again.
@Ms.Nikkiandherfamily Interesting... considering some biracial ppl have 3d/4d hair... which is what I'm guessing you're referring to as Black hair. Not sure if you're aware, but Black people's hair can range across the whole board of 1a-4c hair. ALL hair requires APPROPRIATE and effective hair care. All hair grows at different rates depending on diet, hydration, curl type, any existing medical issues, etc., but depending on how visible that growth is depends on the hair care.
I agree, I liken it to teeth. We know folks who have never flossed but have no cavities and others who obsess and still need root canals. Sure maintiance will help but some folks are born at third base/or already hit a home run when you just got up to bat.
@Sunshine4 Susceptibility to dental disease and decay can be influenced by genetics, BUT with PROPER care, even those who are predisposed to the nastiest mouths can have a full set of healthy teeth. Dental health is supported by the right diet (and I dont mean sweets; studies have shown the introduction of foreign foods--those not native to your culture) and proper dental care just like hair growth is supported by proper care. I have 2 sisters with the SAME hair type--4a. One's hair grows really well because she takes great care of it, while the other's hair has never been past her shoulders because she doesn't take good care of it. So it's not mainly genetics. It's a combination of the two, but mostly PROPER hair care.
Agreed! I'm currently combing out my 10 year old locs and honey,let me tell you ,I had no idea I was going to have shoulder length hair when I get through. Mind you I was a faithful DIY hair dyer,I really thought I was going to be bald 😂,apparently all that conditioning my locs was worth it!❤
Locs isn't long hair. It's just dead shed hair that's matted together. The hair that would naturally fall isn't allowed to fall, it's dead locked into the growing hair.
@@ariamason9324 Um -that’s what ALL hair is… and not all locs are matted. Not to mention all the comb outs so actual video evidence-people have length.
Black hair grows but most of what we do breaks the hair. If you have 4c tight tight coils like me (im growing freeform locs), just detangling can make your hair break. If we can find ways to be gentle with the hair, retention will be easier. I really think it's mind over matter
But there are so many that transition to natural hair and look after their hair better than some people look after they babies and it’s still short asf so it’s not just “damage” some hair just doesn’t grow long
That's a myth,but it was genetics for us,oiled scalp, braids, ponytails, and down for holidays. No one thing works for everyone. Conditioners, shampoos, and hair care,but do what works for you! I flat iron my hair every 2 to 3 weeks, and my curl pattern has looser curls, but I'm not concerned with that, and my hair is healthy. I get compliments every day
Genetics definitely play a part! My hair has been long ( mid back and tail bone length at times), my entire life but not because of any hair regimen or tactics to grow it. I was just born with the same thick, strong hair my Dad and his sisters have! Through the years I have never really cared for my hair, and actually did all kind off things to it that should have left me bald! It just grows! So yea genetics is a big factor.
@@LondonTayyHair growth, pattern and volume are also genetic, environmental physical, biological factors. The hair in this video is not 4C texture hair. The hair not growing is usually associated with those of 4C, tight coils, thin/fine edges, thin fine hair volume, that usually requires hair extensions, even with moisture & protein treatments, still requires to add more volume and body.
When people say “my hair doesn’t grow” what they are really saying is my hair breaks off and I cannot retain length. That’s it! It’s just quicker and easier to say it the way most people do.
Woooow. She has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen 😮 I'm so glad that there are so many break through products available over the past few years that are developed for the specific needs of ethnic hair. Heck I'm 43. My mom put herself through beauty school when I was 6. Until recently they really hadn't put any effort into products for curly hair at all, let alone the more coily or kinky types. You lose so much moisture so quickly with curls! Oh! I love the braids! It came out looking stunning! ❤
Thats a gorgeous style and this young lady has a lot of hair by any standard ! The thickest hair Ive ever seen up close was a little friend of my daughter whose parents were neighbors that migrated from India . I could barely wrap my hand around her ponytail !
That little girl's hair is so lovely and that style is so unique. You're really talented. What you're saying is true. I can't tell you how often I see Black girls and women with hair slicked down to the scalp with product but the ponytail it's always dry, chopped and frizzy with broken ends. And so many have lightener and/or color which dries the ends out even more because of the chemical. So yeah, hair care is more than just styling, it's taking care of the scalp and hair, root to end.
Black women, your hair does grow like everyone else's. Is it's just that your systems are just more sensitive than everyone else's,but you just don't realize it. You're allergic to the chemicals that are in products that are geared toward you. If you stay away from chemicals, stay away from perms. Stay away from excessive heat.Your hair will be healthy and long. Wash your hair, spritz with water then a bit of organic oil, and your hair will be perfectly fine. You shouldn't put fake hair on little girls because the fake hair has crazy chemicals on it especially if you don't wash the hair first before you put it on the child. And you should never put alcohol based products on your little girl's hair. You should never perm your little girl's hair.
Prior to the 90s Black people had long hair. They just wasn’t putting all those chemicals and hair weaves like we do today, Black people also ate healthier back, then meaning they weren’t eating a ton of processed foods 😂
Where? I have never seen those vast number of people. My grandmother's and aunties didn't process their hair and kept it in plaits..their hair stayed the same length, healthy but pretty much the same length. Like some white people have naturally long hair and some don't
@@ariamason9324 my mom, my auntie, my grandmothers all had their edges and thick hair. My mom side of the family had long hair. My dad side of the family had really thick hair, but then everybody at least had thick hair in their edges
@@quaithom3138 I was around prior to the 90s and black women did grow their hair. It might not have been as long as Spanish and white women, but they had thick hair and they had their edges.
I FINALLY figured out the right protective style for myself! I wash my hair, deep condition, honey oeave in condition, argan oil mousse and heat protectant serum for shine. I wear that for a couple of days. Then, I braid my hair 8 to ten rounds, then twist the ends. I wear that until my scalp itches and start all over. I also clip off any frizzy ends. This is my second week doing this. I stopped putting on the crochet hair because my high school students keep calling me bald headed B…. If I always add extensions, then I’m proving that I don’t love myself with short hair. I have a complex about my short hair because of verbal abuse and I look like my daddy. I’m four weeks from retirement. I’ll be just fine.
Small reminder to be prepared for the mental and physical changes of retirement. You completely look forward to it but might dip not receiving the same stimulation.
@@maryjflanagan1922 that was your hair care regimen, protective styles are when the hair is put away with braids weave etc to keep from manipulation of it
Miss marilyflanagan1922 if I got it correctly, One day I went to talk to my son teacher, his name/last name was Mr. Kitchen, though even i forgot to call him by Mr. Kitchen I ended up calling him Mr. Chicken just like my son supposed call him to bother him depending on what he explained to me. So after I call that name. The one he was tired of both of us ended up laughing about it. Because he was able to tell that I didn't like my son behavior sometimes. So I went and explain to my son what happened. And since we ended up in good terms with Mr. Kitchen, my son ended up not bothering him anymore, even after my mistake, of calling him Mr. Chicken. So sometimes it's depends on how you take their mishaps, or if you send to talk to their family to fix the situation. Some people you can't even try talking to them, because they are worse than their children. So I'll encouraged you to have a beautiful life, and have some vacation every now and then Just a suggestion . Don't just sit in one spot. Because working people get sick when being stagnant afterwards. May the God of my father's bless you and sustain you with His powerful right hand. God bless you very much. And start telling your school children that you love them change your atmosphere, so you could leave a beautiful smiles after you. Something I learned is love. Even though I have it in my heart, it also can be learned. Blessings for you my dear.
We often underestimate the role of genes in hair growth, However, it's actually our hair cycle that plays a significant role. This is why some people's hair grows super fast after a cut, while others' hair growth slows down at a certain length. Additionally, genes influence other aspects like thickness, strength (texture), and density, which provide more resilience.
Hair growing has everything to do with genetics ..look across siblings hair can grow short or long …even if you’re homeless with absolutely no hair care routine the hair can grow maybe not aesthetically nice and groomed but it grows ..these hair products only help what you have or was given period…the rest is up to God..goodnight😊😊
I agree. I knew a tomboy in high school who did gad about hair care or anything, but her hair was like the girl in the video. Also, I often see women who are overweight and have an unhealthy log with long hair. It’s definitely genetic and I think we have to be for real.
@@CarmenSD She isn't saying it's NOT about genetics. She's saying it's not ALL about genetics. In other words, as long as you don't have actual Alopecia, you can grow long and healthy hair. You don't have to be stuck with "stunted hair".
I mean, think about it for a minute: Hair ALWAYS grows from the scalp. It only ever breaks off at the tips. Minimize this "breakage" = retaining most of the ALREADY GROWING hair. That's why Alopecia is the exception because then the hair simply doesn't grow from the scalp. Period
That is beautiful. My great niece is almost 16 and does hair creations. Mom was Caucasian and Black and my nephew white. She has the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. She is entrepreneurial already at 15 and spends her free time doing hair. I am so proud to be her aunt. ❤❤ You are so talented. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless! ❤❤
I tried to tell my older co-worker that our hair definitely grows, but it’s breaking off just as fast as it grows. She doesn’t believe me I absolutely luv this hair style
It does grow but maintains length like retention is the problem locs is a true sign black hair grows when there is retention … plus girls with long thick hair wear weaves to keep their hands out their hair
Yes all hair grows, but shoulder & waist length hair are a different story , going by the little girl in video most grown women don't have hair that length. Protective styles are to get you through workouts, vacation even illness, some ppl wear just for change of style. You can keep your hands in your hair if you know what your doing. Lastly when most women take down weaves, braids etc all they do is get them again bcuz they hate texture or how thick or thin it is .
@@Saggfire777 if u don’t know that many black women with long thick hair just say that cause where I’m from they exist they also wear weave sew-ins but let them take it out it’s long down their back
@@tnholley8569 I said most women I'm also a s cosmetologist for 38 yrs. I've seen all hair lengths , so where ever you are from and everyone has long hair keep up the good work👌
Cornrows make the hair grow. That's mostly why men who get cornrows hair go fast after 2 weeks. Ppl who wear wigs as a PROTECTIVE hairstyle [not gluing whatever they can to their hair] usually have long hair under the wig due to cornrows
Genetics, as you stated, do play a part in it, and again, hair care is important too. I will also say that for black people, it takes work to figure out what your hair and scalp need to promote that hair growth, and it takes time to figure it out.
First it's genetics, because when you see a black person with curly hair, or wavy hair, there has been some type of race mixing in your family. All three of my children have curly or wavy hair. They get it from my husband side, because his mom is biracial, and from my grandad, who is biracial. I know a lot of black people may not want to admit it, but the black race hair grows slower than any other race out there, so hair care is definitely a must to keep the hair healthy.
@@nataliewalters2759 That isn't true. There are black people who have wavy or straight hair. They are mixed, but as long as the "one drop Theory" makes a person considered to be black, you can't say ALL black people...
That’s not necessarily true because there are some non black people who hair doesn’t grow that quickly and there are black people with curly coil hair that are not mixed raced. I am 💯 percent black that I no of and my hair grows quickly it grows faster since i stopped relaxing my hair 15 years ago. And i don’t do much to it.
Not true, my husband is 100%Black man from Congo and all of the women in his family have long wavy/ kinky hair they told me all they do is eat clean, and drink lots of water and moisturize. Their not mixed with anything and their hair looks like the lady in the video
The only reason black hair wouldn’t appear to grow is if it’s severely damaged. as a hairstylist, I have dealt with a lot of hair on all different types of bodies with all different colors of skin, and one of the things that I noticed the most is that a lot of black women have incredibly brittle hair from damage that will snap and break it’s not that their hair isn’t growing. It’s that it’s constantly breaking off.
I'm black & native American (Chippewa)... and I have waist length hair even at 48! Now my hair texture has changed with age from thick & curly to thin & slightly wavy. But I have learned if you keep your scalp clean and healthy and hair moistured.... it will GROW. Collagen peptides can help also. ❤
@lvncsr6166 I have seen more growth than normal by taking Orgain Collagen Peptides. I even used to take the Neocell Collagen supplements. I do not use relaxers, nor do I heat style my hair often. As far as products I use a bonding shampoo & conditioner, or a black soap clarifying shampoo & conditioner. Additionally, batana oil, Kristin Ess weightless leave in & Nexxus ultralight smooth serum
Let’s have a real conversation that black hair is not one thing black hair has many things different textures. Different types are included in black hair are different textures and types which all go different rates. So let’s be real about black hair. It absolutely grows every last. One of them can go quickly and healthy, but they don’t at the same rate.
Black hair grows upwards not downwards. Our ancestors came from a hot continent. Why would we want long, thick woolly hair to keeps our heads/scalp heated. I am not ashamed of my short hair and i take regular trims to ensure it's neat. Time for us black people to stop craving the hair of the other groups, take care of our unique hair and be proud.
Thank you. I have very fine thin hair and it takes forever to grow. My mom is the same way too. I thought becoming natural many years ago was going to make a huge difference but nope. I accept my hair the way it is.
I know many mixed people with dry brittle hair … I know many ‘black’ women (different ethnicities) who’s hair is thick beautiful curls, and flourishing ❤
My Gr8 Grand is mixed, however her INDIGENOUS DNA is very strong ,her hair is very loose waves to spiral curls , her Mommy creates so many beautiful hair styles for her ,but girlfriend if nothing is done she has some CRAZY 🤪 hair lol
No fr because everytime i search for hairstyles to try on RU-vid or Pintrest, I always get mixed races 😅. It's really frustrating because it's so hard to find cute styles for 4c hair!!!
@@caramelapple4053 yeah I understood after I had typed why… relaxer is what makes it straight right? It’s just some people say it’s a perm and it’s just confusing
first and foremost, genetics play the most important part in hair growth. secondly, your haircare routine and haircare products play a vital role in one's hair growth journey. routine and consistency will produce great strides, resulting in phenomenal hair growth. one last thing, find out your hair's porosity level (low, high, or normal). knowing your hair's porosity level will help you purchase and use products that's better for your hair. I hope this helps ❤.
My mother, rest her sweet soul, was a excellent barber/beautician/of the sixties, up until the 90's!!!! My Mamma advised me, that hair growth/texture is totally genetic and that growth also requires care minus damage!!!! Back in the sixties, 3 out of five black females, with non relaxed, natural hair, had long hair!!!! This adorably beautiful child, has a lovely/healthy, head of hair!!!!
It's hair, long, short, straight, curly. Genetics, etc. Take care of your hair. Who cares if people say black hair doesn't grow? Do people care what people say about hair. Be happy with whatever. Research if that helps. It's hair. People will be just fine. It's hair 🤔
“ Black Americans” are obsessed with “Natural”hair I’m black but I wasn’t born in the US and I’ve never had a perm or wigs no fancy hair products I’m 42 and my curls are down to my waist since 1988🤣 I get yearly haircut now, my daughter’s hair down to her buttocks. And they’re always say “What are you mixed with” 🙄
I don’t agree personally. I’ve been saying hair texture and growth affirmations for the past month and I’ve seen drastic change. Most people don’t know this is a thing that’s possible, but that’s a limiting belief to say genetics play a part in hair growth. I personally manifest mine with no effort, but to each their own❤️
It's definitely genetics. People who have the genetics for their hair to grow fast and long will tell others they need to take care of their hair and it will grow to their length. Lol which is BS. Some, not all, black people hair just don't grow long. Period. We have learned this over the past 100 years.
I agree, we genetically had long hair in my family,we did nothing to it, and it grew on it's own. All the bs about taking care of your hair. Really isn't true for everyone.
I completely agree! Every now and again, someone with a naturally long growth cycle will come out with a magic hair growth oil to fleece the desperate. Growing up, it was me and another girl with "long hair". We used the same greases, barrettes, and routines as those who had neck length hair.
@Sirchingsince exactly. You could use someone with long hair routine till you're blue in the face, if you're not genetically equipped to grow long hair it won't happen.
Exactly 💯. Some black women are delusional. This young lady is probably mixed and this is not typical black hair texture outside of like people from the horn of Africa like Ethiopians and Somalians
Good to know. I don't put heat on my hair and I do condition it but I feel like it is hard to balance because my hair is naturally oily but also feels dry? It tangles so easily so I have to use a lot of conditioner or I'm not getting the knots out of it. I have a bad habit of keeping it in a bun or in a pony tail. Maybe I need a better conditioner. I wish I had the thick beautiful hair the model has.
Would it be a possibility that these beautiful women who are black have issues with slow hair growth due to the constant wear of weaves and wigs and or tight braided hair??
NO, those ppl DON'T TAKE 'PROPER' CARE of their hair, most DONT KNOW HOW TO take care of it. They watch TV and video's and SEVERLY DESTROY IT. WIGS AND WEAVES are for Thor's WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO, DON'T WANT TO... CARE FOR THEIR HAIR. That's WHY... NO EDGES, LENGTH OR HEALTHY HAIR. K33PINIT 💯

Stop talking about "black hair can grow or grow your hair or they say black hair can't grow but blah blah blah." Enough. It's no different than black people who talk about "the color of my skin." Just stop. Show that you love yourself because that isn't how you do it.
