HOW I GREW BUTT LENGTH HAIR! MY NATURAL HAIR JOURNEY (PICS INCLUDED!) 

Wow this is one of the BEST COMMENT!!! II tell women this all the time it takes time to learn what your hair likes and don't like. It's definitely trial and error and it's definitely NOT BAD HAIR!! I love my natural shrinking hair!!!❤❤❤❤

Thank you!! My best friend since high school has a much tighter texture and did a big chop. We have cared for and nurtured her hair with the same techniques even though the texture is the same. She doesn’t use heat much as well. People have to see THEIR journey through

curly hair isn’t nappy

Yes I love my coarse hair. It’s just learning how to take care of it. No such thing as bad or nappy hair.

My grandmother always said it's no such thing as nappy with hair of African decent. it's curly, whether tight or loose

Awww thank you!!

Agreed ❤

Yes‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏿💗

It’s soooo tired! Lol

I agree. Hot mess! We still have a long ways to go as a race. 😢

True. Someone needs to tell them. They don't often see bw with their natural hair or naturally long hair and probably hearing bw can't grow long hair is what makes them believe it too.

That means so much!! Wow thank you❤

Thank youuuu! Message!! People are saying some VERY telling things in those comments and it stems back to being purposely uneducated. I’m glad you were able to go thru the process and care for your hair❤

Yes most people that use heat have no meter on when to stop because they desire those certain results. I got braids once and used my blow dryer on the cool shot setting. It's all about being educated on the use of heat for sure. I personally have no desire to have straight hair in any month when it's warm. & thank you!!

Thank you so much! She changed my perspective. I'm so thankful for her

​@@ebonyswope ❤🙏🏿💗 your hair is very beautiful, thank God for Lynn

Thanks for sharing!! I’m always down for the people scrolling the comments to have more tips

@sinamen516 what's your hair routine when wearing wigs?

Top comment!!!! People want overnight success which makes these growth oil companies rich. I could’ve been done that but I didn’t. Thanks for the tips!!

Ahhhh gas me upppp!! Yes that pineapple I did on an old wash n go to stretch me til wash day. Thank you sooo much🎉🎉

​​@@ebonyswopeI looove wash n go's!!! But I'm trying to move more towards two strand twist but I can never make them look good, Like, my stylist does!! Lol😂

Thank you so much wow!! That’s a great compliment. The amount of patience you have to have to comb out locs is unmatched! I’m happy for you

Yesss heat was my BFF for real lol but thank you so much for sharing! My stylist trims my hair curly that’s why I’m able to go so long without heat

As I transitioned I kept wearing my hair straight because that's the way I was use to wearing it but then one day I decided I wanted to start wearing my natural curls which was a process because my hair was use to being straight. I also had to learn to take care of my natural hair to start saving money from going to my stylist lol, well I'm here to tell you I looove my curly hair and I don't wear my hair straight at all anymore and I don't put heat to it not even to trim my ends. My stylist trims it when it's wet even though she said she can't see what she really needs to trim I still don't want heat on my hair so she trims little at a time

I appreciate that! That means a lot!!

3 steps ahead of you🤫❤

@@ebonyswope Yay🙌🏽Thank goodness, IM PROUD OF YOU💜

Thank you for that!! If you are getting a lot of crochet styles, please make sure you’re using some kind of growth or scalp stimulating oil because the braids that are put down for the foundation are usually done pretty tight and that kinda tension on your hair long term can be troublesome

@@ebonyswope I agree totally about keeping the foundation braids for crochet style moisturized. It took me a while to find my current stylist because some stylist do braid to tightly which puts too much tension on the hair especially with soft textures. I also use supplement for the immune system, and for hair, skin and nails. Plus drinking plenty of water! Be blessed!

You're so welcome! I’m here for yall!😂❤️

Always!❤️

Felt so cold without them lollll

It makes your hair sooo soft and manageable. I stand by it lol

“The Relationship Between Black Americans and Native Americans in Colonial Louisiana” on YT. Goes along with what you’re talking about.

Get a vitamin panel done

If your scalp isn't dry you don't need to oil it. The only place I put oil on is my ends. I've never had scalp problems.

You need to get blood work done to see if your deficient in anything like Vit D or iron. Also taking a good collagen hair, nail and skin supplement can help support growth. Try incorporating Ayurveda herbs as it helps in hair growth like henna, amla, Aloe Vera, funegreek just to name a few they are all powerhouse herbs to help with growth. You already have a good regimen but also you'll need protein treatments and keep up with trimming your ends but make sure you keep ends moisturized, oil isn't a moisturizer its a sealant

Still what length? If you have length retention issues it could be related to how you style your hair i.e. wash and gos that can chew up your ends or how you handle your hair i.e. rough combing, brushing, or detangling.

@lovelota6334 I wear wash n go's alot but I'm going to start wearing two strand twist or braids because that may be the reason, Im probably not retaining length. I love wash n go's but it's time for me to switch from wearing them

Awww that means so much! Thank you & your hair looks so bomb from you profile pic

@@ebonyswope ohh thanks so much. It’s a work in progress.

This is such a great compliment wow! Thank you so much

yes our hair loves consistency!!

Try wearing protective styles for a while. They helped my hair grow to mid back length.

@@islandgirl8067 I wear protective hair styles as well.

​@@islandgirl8067How often do you wash your hair with protective styles?

Thank you!! It really wasn’t even intentional either, I just wanted to be consistent on my channel way more than I have been before.

@@ebonyswopeYou're welcome 🤗

That means a lot! Thank you

do you deep condition? I've never seen anyone still have dry hair after deep conditioning consistently

lol they were leaving left and right it felt like😂

I love that!! Thanks for subscribing! Let me know any questions you have❤

​@@ebonyswopelipstick is sooo pretty ❤ color name please?

I sure can! Make sure you’re subscribed

​@ebonyswope did you make this video yet?

2001 I know your hair is so healthy!!

@@ebonyswope No Ma'am, either Menopause or Mielle took it out. And I'm not really taking care of if and can't find a good hair Stylist. Everytime I wash it clumps come out. I stopped using commercial products. I wash my hair with ACV and make leave in conditioner (Cardi B Recipe).

Thanks for watching!! This was posted on Christmas Eve lol I took my tree down right after new years lol

They are so angry on there I just stopped responding lol I feel how I feel about it😂

Yes I’m thankful that she said that because she spoke life into me and my hair! It was a journey but it was so worth it!! The natural hair scene was so dull back then omg I was so happy to have the Glamtwins before their page just turned into an ad hub😂

I get that a lottttt lol thank you!

Thank you so much!!!

Welcomeeee! Thank you so much!!

Everybody wants overnight success lol

lol when you love color it’s hard! I get bored with my hair sometimes and just try new styles but I really want to dye it so I think about trying a wig sometimes😂

I think that’s something ppl tell themselves when they don’t work to grow their hair out but okay❤

I agree. I've done the work of what many RU-vidrs say/I've taken care of my hair yet 5yrs after big chopping my hair to one inch, it's only ear length! I've gotten to a point where I've given up and have accepted my terminal length is ear length 😢😢

@@sammie1122 that’s unfortunate because it’s not true. Your hair grows from your scalp. It’s literally a natural bodily function but who am I 🤦🏾‍♀️

@ebonyswope you're right because I measured my hair today and it has grown but very slowly but I guess progress is progress right. I was just having a mini meltdown over my hair yesterday 😆

@@sammie1122 ​​⁠awww it’ll be fine!! Water it and care for it and let it grow. That’s like checking the scale everyday, you will be disappointed but long term it all works out.

Thank you so much!! They have quickly become a favorite of mine along with the middle part

@@ebonyswope you’re welcome😊…The middle part is everything for me! I love it. You can do a lot with it styled in the middle.

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching

You're so welcome! Keep me posted and come back and leave a comment if you have any questions

Lol thank you!! If I ever drop one, it'll definitely be one that... nvm ima save that thought for my notes cuz this video getting a lot of views lol

Thank you so much!!

lol you play tooooo much😂 thank you so much! I really do love makeup and hair so I’m so glad I could base my channel off both.

Special grade of hair 🤔?

@@MT-yx5cu Now you know I have words. All textures of black hair is beautiful and unique with different levels of porosity and rates of growth. When I use the word special, I mean specific, because here are some traits of hair: thick, thin, shiny, dry, dull, fragile, strong. And when we get into curl patterns that's an entire follicle conversion because curl pattern is determined by follicle shape, which is hereditary, but I am sure that you already knew that. Hair follicle shape could probably be mapped across Africa, (you know, where we came from) and I am sure that would tell us more about our heritage and origin story. And let's not talk about nutrition. When Ebony said that her hair looked its best after she had her baby, I was thinking prenatal vitamins. But what do I know. So "special hair" in this instance is a combination of thick hair with a Manageable curl pattern, that does not break easily, is very well moisturized and grows at a steady rate. Sorry that my use of the word special was/is triggering. I'm only referring to the combination of factors that keep her hair long, along with how she cares for it. On some science shit her hair may retain more keratin which may lend to strand strength. Yes all hair grows but I can attest that not all hair grows at the same exact rate. So some of these growth factors are external and some of these factors are inherited. Black hair is beautiful in its wide and wild assortment. I wouldn't have anything else except my own black hair. It's teaching me life lessons. Lol. Unfortunately our hair isn't studied as closely as it could be, or we wouldn't have bad products to "fix" our broken hair like a perm or a texturizer. That's what the industry wants us to think. But again, what do I know. Sincerely, Random Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS).

You are so welcome🤗

Thank you!! Once a week

Wow your hair is gonna flourish!! Are you doing progress pics?

Thank you! I would suggest the protein treatment from Ashley Marie Collection and the Manuka Honey one from Shea moisture

Ok thank you!!❤❤

No problem!! It’s all I know. I’m glad I could include the pictures that I do have

If you don’t want to do it on your own, find a hair stylist that specializes in natural hair because they can trim you while it’s curly. I have a ton of hairstyles you can do to help you stay no heat

section is into 4 or 6 sections depending on how tangled it is. wet it fully like under the shower, apply a conditioner that has good slip (Aussie moist is a cheap and good way to go) . Use whatever you choose to detangle and work from the bottom up. don't rush it. take a break if you need to to rest your arms but pleaseeee don't rip that hair from your scalp

Thank you so much!! Yes constantly having to touch your hair in between wash days mean you have some more work to do so that it can last. This is why I suggest my natural hair playlist on tiktok. It has a lot of hairstyles that last til wash day and also ones that don't and how to change it from there. I wash once a week

Lol see yall understand me!😂😂

I don’t flat iron my own hair, my stylist does so I would have to ask her.

Happy holidays!!! Thanks for watching!

Depends! Usually every 5-6 months but it truly should be more often

Yes I’ve listed my fav products in the description. Also I deep condition once a week on wash day. If I don’t have time I’ll skip it but I try to always do it. I’ve been using Ashley Marie collection since last May and haven’t switched

Thank youuuu❤

Lol they were introducing me to trauma😂😂

I try to do it every wash day which is once a week but sometimes I don’t have the time so I skip it until the next week
