I love how simple your regimen is. Thank you, Samantha. I want to teach young girls with textured curly hair like ours, that have been adopted into families that do not know how to do their hair. Any advice would be appreciated.
Wow, you are so diligent. You can grow some hair, girl! I remember awhile back you cutting your hair..I think because of thinning. It looks so healthy and strong here. Beautiful! Praise God. I recently had to get my hair cut after leaving my braids in too long. I had been using the aloe spray and other things. There was a lot of build up. I got so nervous when it came time to take it down. I was a bit depressed also, so I delayed and delayed some more till I reached 5mos. Oh I was so nervous, but I had to take it down. My plaits were abt your length maybe a few inches shorter. The problem was, at the root was major buildup. I used marshmallows extract or power and some other elder something mix hoping to have major slip. I was a wreck. I pleaded with the Lord to help me thru the takedown. I finally made it, but in a hurry and worry, at one point, I tore my hair. It was so tangled at the root. When I got it blown out, it was beyond my shoulders almost down to the upper mid back. Only it was severely broken. Very thin with one side showing thickness and the other see thru. I really wanted to convince someone to clip my ends and Dr. that portion up. I felt so attractive with it at that length. I felt lovely and I was happy. It felt like a crown of glory. It come camouflage easily in my opinion. After listening to a few hair stylist, I was worried that without a proper cut it would get more damaged. I went to my regular stylist and she was unwilling to cut around that area as I requested, concerned I'd have a botched cut. I didn't care abt it being even as I was planning to have it rebraided. I wasn't going to leave the braids in as long of course. She was unwilling, and I felt it was best in the moment, so I allowed her to cut my hair. I regretted it later. I was convinced the damaged portion could've been taken care of. Over the past few weeks, I've been sick over the cut. It seems so drastic to me. I truly enjoyed the length before and it was the longest my hair had grown. I was so disappointed, comparing before and pics of myself. Even just yesterday I did. Although, the cut was cute. It was a bob style. She left the front a little longer. I was still very disappointed. It's growing back. I am thrilled. Its been abt a month now. I'm doing better. Being more accepting and happy to see the growth happening. Before the cut, I sought possible measures to take to keep my hair. I had taken to RU-vid, where a young lady who's hair looked like mine. She didn't cut hers but allowed it to grow back. What a novel idea, but would it truly work. Everyone on hair says, cut cut cut when the ends are damaged, end of story. I saw and heard comments like, " let it go Sis". "It's just hair" I showed the video to my stylist and she was unconvinced the girl didn't cut her hair. I'll share the video. I believe the girl. She was going to be my hero, only I was a bit afraid of causing more damage. So I gave in. What are your thoughts abt sparing healthy hair and cutting the damaged area as opposed to taking all the hair even healthy for the sake of it being even? If I felt confident cutting my own hair, I would've done just that. I wish I could share a pic of my hair before the cut. It was a lot like the girl's hair in the video. Seeing you and knowing partially your story in cutting your hair.. I am inspired. Thanks for sharing. Here's the video I was referring to: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zwCO0F5KHdo.html
Sam I live in South Carolina to get a knot out I pull my strings upward instead of down it works very easy instead of cutting your hair always pull the string upward
Hi Sam it's me again when you taking down your hair when it's dry before cutting your all you have to do is moisturize the end with your butter then proceed taking your hair down and always always pull your hair upward instead of down out of that knot. You're doing a great job on RU-vid and Instagram also I'm Google for me I have try all your remedies on my hair. I was suffering with alopecia I got so frustrated with my hair I kept going to these channels Karma and God kept showing me clover I started using it on my hair with some oil, my hair is growing now in the ball area period Well that what works for me
I can totally relate to your hair struggles, my strands are in love with each other especially my ends. I can't do fine twists or I'll end up with locks🤦♀️
No just small amount of shedding . My growth is about quarter inch per month that mean about 1 inch is four months. I will be testing the true growth this year but base on my checks last 4 months that's what I observed. So we'll see . Does your hair grow 1 inch monthly?
I always cut the very ends (millimeters) when I take out old braids and sometimes when I first put them in. I noticed I have much fewer single strand knots. Great 👍 video 😘
Happy new year Samantha. All the best. I pray for continued blessings for you and that it'll be a year full of joy, growth and celebration. Thanks for sharing😊
I don't do small twists on my 4c hair anymore because when I open a twist each of the 2 pieces is like a twist themself. My hair REALLY twists on itself as well so I understand you
Beautiful leeeeennnnngggth. I got yarn braids now so I'll see what I've got maybe next month. Not what you got. You surpassed me now. But my moistening routine is not as strong as yours yet either. ☺
@@newgrowthnaturals Yes I am. Thank you. My hair doesn't grow evenly either. Certain parts take longer to grow than others so its like I might be where you are at certain areas but not all around. Weird. But once I take these braids out i'll see how I am then. I want to be at least a few inches from waste length this year. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Sam I love your videos. The sound of the rooster in background is great so don't apologise. When I put my hair in twists they start off being up to my shoulder then they shrink and become half the length they were. Grrr!
Thank you so much for all your hair tips throughout the year they did help with the growth of my hair 😍🙏 I am looking forward for more tips and how to grow my hair to waist length 🙏🙏 thank you again Samantha for your help and me the Lord continue to bless and keep you and your family 🙏
Hello Sam. How are you? I want to make your moisturizer. How do you keep it fresh? I have made homemade hair products in the past, but they expired quickly. Thanks.
I did it 3 weeks ago and it out last week and trust mi girl I was oh no. But the finger detangle helped. As a matter of fact I uploaded a video with it. Lol need the evidence
Yes I like twist but it makes my hair look thin and I also get knots. Not when I do big twist...only when smaller. My hair is dense/thick but when I do twist it looks thin.
Hi my Jamaican sister I would love for you to do my hair, but I too afraid to travel so far. I was wondering if you know about using plant base gel along with your leave in conditioner and Shea butter for longer moisturizing. Especially for 4 type high porosity hair? It’s the best method I have used in 13 yrs.check out these two you tubers. Naya Nzeka and Afope Atoyebi .
