HOW I GREW MY NATURAL HAIR TO TAILBONE LENGTH AS A LAZY NATURAL | Obaa Yaa Jones 

Wow. 10 years. The problem with we newbies is that we want 10years growth in 1 year. Thanks for reminding me to take it one day at a time and enjoy the process.

"You can come for me but my hair is long" 😂😂😂

Lazy Natural Gang! Where you at? I’m almost waist length and I just prepoo, wash, deep condition and style with either the LOC/LCO or the LAOC methods. 90% of the time, my hair is in twists. Big or small. That’s it. Been doing it since 2013.

All facts! I don't think you're a lazy natural, I believe you're informed and efficient because you don't do more than what's necessary and your hair is fabulously healthy!

I wouldn't say lazy. I would say minimalist. Or a simple natural

Lazy natural = Keep It Simple Sister. If you want to go far travel light. It all needs to be sustainable. Usually the things that are sustainable are usually simple.

I used to follow trends lol but I stopped and I’m so proud of myself. For the first time since 2014 this year I didn’t buy any hair products for Black Friday

"It's a twist n go for me" ahhh 🙋🏾

Love this...lol "my hair is long"! I see a lot of short haired people giving advice...don't use oil or butter. I only listen to the ones with long healthy hair. Mine is long now too. Give me all the shea butters and oils!

The only thing that make me not to think twice before hit the subscribe button is that you tell the truth that it took you 10 years to get that length you just assure me that my 4 years length is not bad . Cos mostly of the youtubers are saying 3 years ,and I know is not true. Thank you Good bless your heart ❤️

This motivates me to continue being a lazy natural no need for new trends ✅

I agree with what you said about the products. I live in the US and I have to say that early in my natural hair journey having so many options was actually overwhelming especially because most of the RU-vidrs were doing product reviews every week. Once I stopped paying attention to all of that and focused on what made my hair feel good my hair retained so much more length. While it’s great to see black women making a living on RU-vid I really wish the natural hair movement hadn’t quite so commercialized.

Watching this as I’m thinking I need to oil my scalp but I don’t want to take off my bonnet 😂😂😂

I see “lazy” and I click, then like. #twistandgo ..... 🗣✍🏾👏🏽 (to the couch, to bask in the lazy franchise)

You're so gorgeous and inspiring; I can so relate to being a lazy natural with tailbone. Next goal; knee length. So happy to see your journey and listen to your advice. It's very helpful

Mini twists will GROW your hair! Literally the best hair style to grow your hair. I do rollersets a few times a year, and flat iron a few times a year for trims, and get it braided with extensions a few times a year....but the other 6 months, mini twists. I wash my hair like once a month so I do light protein once a month. I am so upset I waisted YEARS doing roller sets and twists outs and trying to get a wash n go...a mess smh.

Two video suggestions: Would you consider doing a current Washday routine (Start to Finish)? Either 1. Washday when you hair is open and you're preparing for a protective style (twists)... Or, 2. Washday when your hair is already in the protective style (twists), maintenance etc. Both would be great 😁 thanks..

Not following hair trends.... I FELT that one. It really isn't necessary. It can actually cause scalp issues. Ex: too much ACV,Rice water, and fake henna.

Yup sis ! You are correct twists are amazing ! And yes changing up partings/sizings are important too . I haven’t heard much ladies say this

You know that you deserve more subscribers! You’re hair goals!

Omg this is meeee, thank you for this! I have hope now that my hair will grow

You are quickly becoming my favorite YTer!!! Your natural hair wisdom is precious to me. Thanks 😊 for sharing with us!

Gurrlll!!! You’re a God sent! I just subscribed because you were talking to my WHOLE life!

Absolutely love your accent and hair. Thank you for your info ❤️ I'm a lazy natural too!

It’s a twist and slap on a wig for me 🥴😂

I have been natural my entire life with long thick kinky hair. Im in my 40s. I was a straight natural as you guys call it. Pressing and curling my hair was all I knew it was a way of styling. I transitioned to my curls in 2k9 and i was tailbone til 2k18. I decided to straighten my hair after being on meds and a long illness and having a couple surgery. I had no idea that my hair was weak from meds and I wasn't doing protein treatments. My hair was severely heat damaged and in some areas it was to my scalp. I cut my hair to wait length and then trimmed large amounts monthly til my hair was shoulder length. 95% of the damage was cut off. But my thickness was gone. My hair has been in rehab ever since and I keep it in protective styles all the time and I wear wraps and wigs. Its is currently back at waist length and the thickness is coming back. I still trim but not as much but I keep some type of protein in my regimen weekly. My goal is hip and thigh length just to see if I can do it. I know it will get to tailbone its been there most my life. I am a super lazy natural. I can be the president of the club if not the founder lol 😆... Less is more sistas. Dont take your hair so seriously that you don't enjoy it or the journey that your on bcus it would be a waste of precious time. So enjoy learning on this life's journey all of it!

This one got me to subscribe! Lol great personality and love that your not a product junky!

Just watched your video for the first time and this is like seeing myself. I have Waist length natural hair at over 8 years natural and find that doing the barest minimum has worked for me. I am always in twist, detangle and wash only when needed. It's about techniques and what works for you. I also mostly finger detangle as against using brushes and combs. Thanks for sharing.

I love this video. Back when I kept my hair in braids for weeks at a time (no weave) my hair retention was pretty dramatic 😂. I actually got annoyed dealing with it and cut a fee inches off. But now I'm bored with shorter hair so back to growth! Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for you help. Once I cut out the chemical hair color my ancestors said " THANK YOU FOR FREEING US " They flourished!!!

oh this just answered the question i was having. thank you for this

I'm so grateful for this video. I've developed a very simple & quick daily & *monthly* routine because I'm lazy too :). I often wonder if I need to do more, thanks for the confirmation that I don't. I've been natural for 2 1/2 yrs & I'm seeing amazing Growth. Thanks again Sister & YOU & your hair is *Truly* Beautiful 😍!!!

Your hair is beautiful 🤩 & Love your accent! Thank you for your video

Your skin is just as beautiful as your hair. 😊 (I agree with so much of what you're saying, per my experience 😊).

She's a beauty and effortlessly funny. I have no choice but to stan (and subscribe) 🥰🤣

Hey girl nice watching your video again tonight. Thank you for making me laugh once more. Enjoy your hair.

Yes you deserve more subscribers my Obaa Yaa; but I known for sure3 that, block by block a house is built. So I am surely convinced that you will definitely reach your GOAL 😁👍🙏Thanks for sharing this important video and stay healthy and stay bless ❤

New subscriber!!! I loveeee your content ☺️☺️🥰

I love your attitude and beautiful smile 😍

💙Jesus lived the life we couldn't live and died the death we deserved and rose 3days later, repent of your sins and trust in Him💙

Thank you so much for your honesty - there is so much rubbish out there with all these natural products. I have been doing a lot to my hair and not seeing the results for over two years. I am going to follow your advice and stop all these so called oils etc etc

Yass sis! New to your channel, and I really enjoyed the simple tips on what works and what's unnecessary. Have you shared what you eat/ anything about your diet at all?

Very helpful and valuable 💪🏾❤

I am one of the laziest natural hair girl. And don't much care about all those stuffs because as you said my hair will grow anyway. The big challenge for me is to have a good habit of retaining length.

Yeeeeeeeeeee finally 🥺 I need this James bond 🤣 The trends enhhhh

Always love your content and I agree wholeheartedly. I use Garnier brand lol. It IS about more than products. And being a lazy natural helps me a lot too.

I wash my hair once a month.I don’t use gel or heavy products either.and my hair is striving

I always did the bare minimum to my hair. I am not into any fancy hairstyles. I always liked simple and boring. So I think that is why my has always been long. Most women love to play in their hair and let's not forget when they get a sew in or wig they neglect their hair underneath. Also the braids underneath the weave is taking out their hair because it is not braided properly. This is the biggest problem to why they can not retain length.

I always put my hair in braids (no added hair) and twist the ends then put a head wrap on EVERY DAY!! 100% of the time

I like your channel..I believe in what you say..you are a real natural you tuber..am a lazy natural too but my hair doesnt grow as much as yours😁but I do like your hair

Your hair is beautiful. Gives hope that my fine hair can grow like that...but they break soooo easy :(

Great video!

I love your videos. ❤️

All such relevant tips. You're beautiful and thank you for sharing. You're hilarious too 😂

So beautiful. I am a new subscriber. Your hair are amazing.

Exactly yessss do what hair needs

This is so true although I don't necessarily agree with the term lazy natural because there are a lot of people out here that don't quite understand or get the gist of what that actually entails. Remember a lot of us are actually talking to babies we are teaching baby infant ears so if you say lazy natural then they tend to believe oh I don't have to do anything and before long the hair dries out gets knotted up breaks off and that's it. It's pretty much the work you put into it you love and care and you tend for your garden. You need to water the garden when the season gets cold you need to put an insulation to protect the roots protect the soil underneath. When I was a child they were still certain things that are similar to Dave that my parents did with me and my siblings. Hot oil treatments leave-in conditioning oiling the scalp and sealing in the moisture

Your hair is beautiful. It would have been nice to see some of the products you use...

Youre so pretty!

Hello bobo.... haha! I know that name!... I have left my hair for 8 weeks then braided it again its 6 weeks in now. Don't miss it - it was too much work! Its growing well now been natural for 10 years and length was only 10 inches at the back which was so frustrating. I kept doing styles every day - no more!. And I have so much products I can literally start a shop - none of them helped!. So not going back to any hair store until everything is finished and that wont be for about 1 year, disgusting I know! I have fine hair - it appears to want to be left alone!

Your hair is beautiful and I love your accent

Are u a Ghanian sister? Your hair is so beautiful 😍😍😍😍

Damnnnn blows My mind everytime ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I needed to watch this

YOU ARE SO FLY!

I have a mixture of fine/medium hair strands as well. Medium/High density in certain areas of my head. I infuse my diy deep conditioner with ayurvedic herbs this way it rinses out easier and its mess free. Majority of the time i keep my hair in flat twists for at least 2-3 weeks. Occasionally i do a combo of mini twists/flat twists just to have a different look.

Another important thing about how frequently to wash is your scalp. How does your scalp respond to stretching wash days? If you have scalp issues like seborrheic dermatitis, it’s best to wash at least once a week. My scalp was not responding well at all when I washed every 2 weeks.

Am I tripping!? Does anyone else watch these types of videos and wonder how ladies are able to go weeks without washing their hair? My scalp has huge flakes even before the 1 week mark. I don’t know if it’s my shampoo or the products I use. Help!

1st yea....👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'm a lazy new natural😂😂😂. My issue is trying to find products that work. Once I do I am always looking for alternatives for my holy grails because often I find when I go to repurchase my favs they are out of stock but I'm also learning I'm not heavy handed when applying products so my products tend to last longer. I just discovered how to mini twist my hair and it's been my go to style for the past 2 months because I do not not enjoy doing my 4B, 4C hair. I love being able to leave my hair alone for 1-2 weeks. Wash and go's are a no because of my texture. It looks like a fro😂😂😂😩😩😩. I use to love Shea moisture but they come out with a new line and retire a line everyday...ultimately it forced me to try other brands. I have a few staples and that's it. It's been working for me for the past few months. I thought or felt weird because I wasn't the typical wash and go natural but honestly I'm ok with it because I was super lazy when I was relaxed and my hair was bra strap length. I guess being lazy is not that bad😂😂😂.

Girl! I hear you👏🏽I’m not going name names BUT…there’s channels out here with all these diy oils, and masks, “hair to the tailbone” …however, these practices have never worked for me. I guess because I’m a lazy natural too😁…I’m not obsessed with my hair. I just want it to grow, be it’s healthiest…I don’t have time to devote multiple hours everyday to devotional hair schedules.

I just subscribed to support a Sis. My name is Serwaah.

Great video 😁

Great video

It’s so crazy yes 10years is more realistic but i hot my journey to waist length in 3years it’s really what u use, the time spend ect but always be realistic but it can you can do it sooner

Binge watching your videos 💕

I thankyou so much for this video. I have a little question. On your hair wash day do you first wash your hair and deep condition your hair and after that retwist your hair? Thanks in advance😁😁😁

*What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS

2nb to watch ur hair is beautiful 🇬🇭

If this is your hair can you do a video on how you got it this way? ☺️

Can you please mention the kind of product you've been using to moisturize your hair

How do you know when you need protein? I’m struggling with deciphering when to use it

I can't wait until my hair to grow your length. It only touch my top lip if I stretch it out right now. I have a couple of years of growth until it gets your length. I will just have to be patient.

Hello i recently came across your page and i looked at a few of your videos. My daughter is 3 and her hair is low porosity. It has a good length but i want to get her hair long and holding moisture. I usually wash her hair every 2-3 weeks as i braid her hair once washed. But i find that while her hair is braided he scalp look super dry and her pores/ hair follicles look huge like i am about to pull ot out. What can you reccomend?

Hey there. New to the channel. How do you know when your hair needs protein? I'm also a lazy natural. All I do is twists as well. Yesterday was the first time I blow dried it in 11 years.

You play too much🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️dats why i love watching all your videos.Thanks for sharing🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.God bless you 😘😘😘😘.

Yeaaaaaah 💃💃💃🥰

My scalp starts to itch once it's a week after wash day. Ot forces me to wash every week. I rebel sometimes but I begin to scratch outside😢 But I'm so busy and it doesn't matter if I put anything on my scalp.

You are beautiful!

Lazy natural here🐥

I have to shampoo my hair once/week. What with my 4hr/day workouts 4 days/wk 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 if you're active, you've got to shampoo your hair as needed so that sweat and oil doesn't build up and clog your follicles

omG! your so beautifull.

U r funny sis😂❤️❤️

** I'm definitely a lazy natural! I am now close to mid back length... over the years tight braids and pony tails have thinned my edges! Over the last few months I have been avoiding tight hairstyles and moisturizing my edges. Any tips for regrowth?

Hey Nachbarin 💓

will using rice water be damaging for 4c hair ? should i just start deep conditioning?

Good video

How often do you trim your hair? I think I may be trimming too much.

Thank you

Hey. Ich wohne auch in Deutschland und ich habe echt ein Problem etwas gutes für unsere Haare in einem Drogeriemarkt zu finden. Könntest du mir vielleicht ein paar Produkte sagen die ich kaufen kann ?? Daaankkee 🤗😘
