How to Get Long Hair 

"Is that all your own hair?" "Yess"... because you bought it... I died xD♡

Pro tip for all my fellow frequent swimmers: before entering the pool, spray your hair with watered down conditioner to help keep the chlorine out. Your hair is going to soak up the conditioner first so that the chemicals in the pool are less likely to be as damaging. Even spraying with normal water from the sink will work fine! Just DON'T go in the pool with dry hair! :)

this is like my third time watching this... its so oddly relaxing and its a good reminder

How to get long hair: Step 1: Wait.

*-I am completly pro extensions, When someone asks you: "+Is that your own hair?" -You should say yes, becouse you bought it.* TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!

THOSE CURLS. How is it even possible to get those curls without heat? They're absolutely stunning.

Alb, Please please don't misuse the term "chemical"!! Chemicals make up literally everything we touch and see and breathe and are. So using shampoo on your hair is using chemicals on it. Using henna is using chemicals. Using the term "chemical" to only refer to bad things gives people a bad mindset and your viewer base is so big that I hope you will use these words responsibly! :)

Your hair looks like cotton candy now 😍🙆💖💕 thanks for this! Hair goals babe xx

This was super super helpful and adorable!! I loved all your little subtext commentary hehe I'm definitely going to try out coconut oil :) I tried using biotin but dumb me didn't check what was in it and the first active ingredients in it are fish oils.....and I'm allergic to fish. It made my nails and hair nice but slowly made me very ill. I've heard the prenatal vitamins (vitamins for pregnant ladies) has a similar effect to biotin and most don't have fish oils. I've been meaning to try them out but haven't yet.

totally for really growing out my hair, Every time it gets to that awkward stage where it wont do anything cause of the length I end up cutting it all off, I hate that stage.

As a black girl with kinky curly hair, I already knew most of the tips that you gave from the natural hair community lol me personally, my hair is very brittle and gets knots so easily because my curl patter is so tight that knots are literally unavoidable. I know you said that you don't brush/comb your hair when it's wet, but for me, I can't comb my hair when it's dry because that will rip the knots out of my head. Instead, I detangle my hair while I have conditioner in on it. Conditioners with great slip is great for that. Also, there are shampoos that are moisturizing and not "stripping." I recommend Organix Argon oil of Morocco shampoo and conditioner or Creme of Nature's Argon Oil shampoo and conditioner. Just argon oil is great lol. But you are right when you say that you shouldn't shampoo as often. I shampoo my hair once a week, normally on the weekend, and use conditioner after that. And during the week, I "cowash" (conditioner wash) my hair once because it gets that dry feelings very easily. And every day, I add Jamaican Black Castor coconut oil to keep my hair moisturized. I'm sorry this comment was long but it's just that everyone's hair is different and require different attention and it depends on the texture and porosity of your hair.

Such a helpful video!!! Your voice is so melodic and soothing

I've always had difficulties with getting long hair. When I was a kid I had CVS (cyclic vomiting syndrome) so since I threw up a lot as a result, my hair was kept short to maintain the mess easier. As I got older and grew out of my syndrome (I still get episodes, but only once or twice a year they may occur, so not nearly as much as before) I started getting this habit of biting my hair. People would often see me and ask "Did you get a haircut?" so I started realizing that biting my hair was really adding up to my hair staying short. I made my 2015 new year resolution to stop biting my hair. I've been doing a good job at keeping that resolution. Sometimes when I get anxious or intensely stressed out, it gets really hard to resist, but I've been using a lot of conscious effort and do other things when I'm feeling anxious such as crocheting and watching ASMR videos. Its a slow process, but I know that the work will add up eventually. You have the most lovely hair. When I was watching Heather Feathers ASMR video that had you in it, I was like "Whoa, that HAS to be extensions right?" But as I watched this video, I had been proven wrong xD.

MOM

*Ang you are great! i have been wanting a no-heat styling video from you since forever and I'm so glad your making one!!!*

You edited this so well, and funny! Thanks so much for this video. I always looks forward to any hair advice you have to give. And I can't wait to see some more!

i absolutely love your hair colour :D

You are actual human goals

thank you so much my darling for this video. I have been waiting forever for it, and its everything I hoped for. eeeee grow hairs grow!!!!

i love this so much! The way you talk, it looks like you are having so much fun!!

Your hair has gotten so light! I totally forgot how pink it was before! I love both shades, it's just cool to see the evolution of your hair haha :)

First video I watch of you, and I already adore you.

wow!this was super informative and overall a fantastic video.I love how bubbly and charismatic you are and that made me want to watch the whole video thru. my hair is above my shoulders and i would love to get my long hair back and hearing you say "cut the split ends!" finally made me realize i have to cut away the bad,even though i would rather not. I'll be visiting my local hair salon later this week so i can start my healthy hair journey! thank you sooo much! stay bright like a jewel

This was a really helpful video! I love your tips because they're always very real and beneficial but simple and not excessive or expensive. Very good for this small dyed youngin. Also I'm veeery excited for your wet set styling videos! My hair is a good few inches down my back and it would be helpful to have more styles in my arsenal than just strait or heat-styled-not-strait. Thanks Ang!

I've had very long hair for pretty much my whole life and I do everything in this video (except for eating right...) and it's so very accurate. I was just nodding my head vigorously through the whole thing ♥ I took such good care of my hair (and was very blessed in the genetic pool of hair, ngl) that when I bleached it, there was practically no damage. The second time I bleached it, there was a bit of damage. The third time TOTALLY WRECKED MY LIFE. BUT with lots of conditioning and sweet-talking, my hair is on the road to recovery :D

satin pillowcases are also amazing for curly hair

I'm so glad that I found your channel! Thank you for this video! It's amazing!!

This video was so lovely and informative, thank you so much! I'm also very excited whenever you post a video. I love the adage "You learn something new everyday" and with your videos, I always leave a little more informed in my day than when I came in. This video was so worth the extra processing time, at least I believe this was the one mentioned on twitter. I had long hair and had to chop off all my damage, and the hair growth struggle IS REAL. So this was so nice! Anywho, thanks so much!

This video is so helpful, and I have another long curly hair story to share to reiterate the hell chlorine can put one through: when I was younger I used to swim ALL THE TIME. Then puberty hit and I suddenly had this curly hair and awkwardness that I didn't know what to do with. I kind of stopped swimming until I got an apartment with a pool. By this time, my hair was ridiculously long and I had never swam with this hair. Naturally, I wanted to let my long hair flow in the water like a majestic mermaid---which was fun while it lasted! But then I returned to my apartment and realized my majestic mermaid hair was a tangle of seaweed that would require a good hour of conditioner+brushing to remove the ridiculous tangles from roughly 2 ft of hair. Since then, braids have been my savior.

This was a very informatory video. Your energy is very positive and your hair looks amazing. I am also a firm believer of feeding your hair from inside :) Consuming lots of fish, nuts, olive oil, avocado, eggs and drinking lots of water helps a lot. I also take vitamins containing zinc and biotin that help the hair. I use coconut and avocado oil masks once every two weeks. I don't towel dry my hair just to avoid friction. If I am going to use heat I use heat protection sprays and do keratin sprays beforehand. I use paraben-free shampoos and apply rice vinegar-water formulas just to keep that shine. I also comb my hair with a wood comb when its wet and I wash it no more than twice or three times a week Oh, it is a lot of work but its also fun and worth it. I really want to get my hair pastel pink or cotton candy pink but I am dead scared to go platinum blonde because my hair is already over processed. I have medium ash brown, fine hair and it takes me at least two bleaches and a toning to reach platinum blonde...

This video was sooo helpful and you're sooo nice! Thanks a lot 💕

I love you so much for these tips! I knew some things before but not all! so thank you very much 💕

I keep hearing people talk about shampoo being bad and I mostly agree. However it just doesn't work for me. I have oily skin, I always have and my hair gets dirty so fast. Plus I work from home and I go days without washing my hair, but yet there has been no decrease in oil. So her tip about showering less doesn't always work.

I cut my hair short and now it is barely touching my shoulders. However my hair is wavy so the shorter areas are growing out kind of spiky? Like they refuse to tame down and just stick out and kind of stab me in the face. Plus they won't stay in my ponytail. So frustrating! This is the shortest I've ever had my hair. What can I do to remedy my mess?

You are awesomeeeeee! This is the first video I've ever seen of yours and your sense of humor is amazing.

you're amazing! so glad I stumbled upon your channel today!! ❤

Also, try not to use ANY product that contains silicone! Silicone will surround your hair and, yeah, it'll feel nice and soft, but it WILL dry out your hair from the inside! So search for "Dimeticone" in the indrigients of the product you wanna buy. And if it contains it, don't buy it. It's a no no. (Please excuse my bad english, but I hope I could help somehow)

Hope you filmed the walking dead finale!!! Can't wait to see yur reaction 💗💗💗

SCREEEAACH this video is my life 💕love you ALB

Yay ! Finally the video we all waited for xoxo

yess my beautiful elf

i dyed my hair 7 months ago with special effects atomic pink but now i can't get it out of my hair??! i've done several bleach baths on my hair (over the course of a few months) and tried a few different things to get it out so i can dye my hair rainbow but the pink won't come out. any suggestions??

Thank you for recommending the tangle teezer brushing used to be so painful and now I enjoy it. You have such beautiful hair.

For the longest time I thought you were wearing like a lace front wig but gurl ur hair is on point

split ends are the root of all evil

I'm stuck between loving my long bob, wanting to grow my hair to my butt, and cutting/shaving it like Brendon Urie and Ben J. Pierce. Urghhhhhh... I have such shitty genetics that even pre-anorexia and when I did absolutely NOTHING bad to it, the longest my hair got was just past my shoulders.

looking forward to heatless hair tutorials

I've been growing my hair out for a little over a year now and so k really appreciate these tips and tricks! Some of them I already knew, but its always great to be reminded! Thanks so much, great video :)

The thing is, one has to have good genetics as well. It's about the terminal length of your hair- it's the length that your hair reaches before it falls out- this is different for different people and it is affected by many things. Let's say your one hair that grows out of your head lives for 6 years (this is just an example, not all hair is the same) and for one person, 6 years of growth might mean that they get hair up to their butt. To other person, same 6 years might only mean they get it past shoulders- together with hair life span, you also need to look at how fast your hair grows. So, if you have both short life span of your hair AND slow growth, your hair will NEVER be long, because your hair simply won't reach the length you want, it goes to slow and it falls out before it could reach the length you wish to have. Of course, you need to eat healthy and have good lifestyle, but you won't do much about your genetics. Maybe, with your genetics, shoulder length hair is the best you can get. Embrace it. Or buy extensions.

i only wash my hair once in my life

Thank you, ALB! I recently cut my hair short, and while it was fun for a few months, I'm ready to grow it out again. It can be frustrating to just sit around and wait to see progress, so it helps to know these tricks!

This was very helpful! Thank you so much, I'm going to start doin little steps

omg .......I tease it everyday.....shit

I have wavy hair that's two feet long. Six more inches and I'll be at my goal length! X3

Love this video! I have hair about the same length as you and I agree all this stuff is super on point and people should take this on board when trying to grow their hair out!

You are super gorgeous! And your personality rocks!!!! You go girl!

Ahh the joys of curly hair. "get regular haircuts".. Try finding one that actually knows how to cut curls. Also, for natural curls, brushing dry is terrible. A wide toothed comb, in the shower, while it''s drenched in conditioner. Going no-poo is great, but you absolutely can NOT use anything with silicones in it if you plan on doing it.

Wow, thank you so much for this video, Angelina! I`ve been watching your videos for quite some time now and I have to say that you`re my favorite person on RU-vid! You`re such a kind and lovely person!! I wish you all the best!!! Lots of love from Germany!

Great ideas, and you're so funny! I love the humor. :)

You're so funny omg I was laughing throughout the whole video. Definitely subscribing!

DEM SKILLS thanks ang, this was quite needed. Also, That mud puddle really janked my hair up.

I loved your deeper pink hair, but I love this shade even more! It's so pretty and flattering! :)

i watched this video at a faster speed (because I'm impatient) and you are still adorable. New subscriber here!

Thanks for the video! Can't wait to see the curling videos, your hair looks amazing in this video! Also, would you be able to do a nail care video (if those are your natural nails)? Thanks!

Thank you soooo much this was really helpful I just recently found you but you are now my favorite youtuner

Your videos are the best, your hair tips are amazing and have been helping me get so many compliments on my pink hair for almost two years now! Not sure I want to grow my hair as amazingly long as yours at the moment, but when I make the decision, I'll probably keep going back to this video like I do your pink hair one. :) These are just really good hair tips in general, and I also thought it was cute how all the tools you had photos of were pink :). (also: rock fact!) ah ALB you are one of my favorite people thank you for this video!

just found this video today and am in love

I've probably watched this video a thousand times, but it's so great and you're so amazing and I love you so much, omg, ok

you are adorbs and very funny. Very enjoyable to watch thanks for the smiles and giggles and some good info ;)

Heard about your vids from Mitch at Superfruit! Love em so far! I'm a long hair person and this gave me some great tips to try

loved the tips in this vid thx so much! also you are so gorgeous. subscribed!

I love this video (despite my 1/4" hair) and I LOVE that shirt on you!! It's so cute!!!

Wow, how have I never seen your videos before! New subscriber for sure!

Definitely looking forward to the video on removing heat tools from my life. I'm so dependent on my blow dryer and straightener, even then I'm not always satisfied with my hair. I've been thinking about keratin treatment. Currently taking biotin in hopes of stronger nails and nice hair. I'm envious of your beautiful hair!

Your hair is so beautiful!!

cries thank you I've had such a bad day and I needed a video from someone who inspires me and makes me smile thank you (getting this out of the way before I actually watch it lol)

thank you for the video! I really appreciate it. this is the best video on covering hair growth I've seen. p.s. you are really awesome :)

I loved your video. You are so nice and you have a lot of great tips. And your hair is beautiful.

Hey ALB! Your hair so amazing! Do you think you could do just a basic tutorial for how you curl it? Your curls look so great in this video :)

dude omg i like your personality and your hair ofcourse ^^

really helpful tips and tricks, most of whom I didn't know about, so thank you cause I'm currently letting my hair grow long :)

I LOVE what u said about extentions not being a cheat and stuff. coming from someone with lushes locks. thats so sweet

omg! i've been waiting for you to make this video forever, i'm so happy! i've been a fan/subscriber to you/your ASMR channel for a while, love your content/art! As for hair, mine grows super super fast, so I always cut it short then grow it out and repeat. The problem is my hair is incredibly thin. The strands are actually fairly thicker, but I just don't have that many "hairs" on my head. :(

You are such a good hearted person😌

this is why i love u.... you dont just tell me what i already know like other youtubers *-*

I love coconut oil so much! I started using it in my hair while applying bleach about a year ago as well and have really noticed a difference. It makes the whole process less harsh on your hair and scalp, and I also find that my results have actually become better since then and that it speeds up the whole process a bit (+ the hair separates more easily/easier application). I COULD GO ON. Anyways. Everything you said in this video was absolutely on point, I do pretty much all of these things and wouldn't be able to keep my hair the way it is if I didn't. (Can I just say also that I think you're an amazing fantastical person and a huge inspiration!) Lots of love from Sweden ♡

Even your less serious videos are fucking fantastic. I love you.

this helped me so much!! thank you

Thank you for making this :)

You are hair goals. Seriously.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I've been waiting patiently, and now I'm so happy. 😄 all of these tips are great and some of them I've already incorporated into my hair routine when I decided to seriously commit to growing out my hair. Coconut oil is amazing. Castor oil is too, you might wanna try that sometime. Cold pressed castor oil, of course. The one hair crime I still commit is leaving it down while I sleep. I'm going to try to get better at this, as well as find a better brush. Thanks again for sharing, Ange! PS - what is the name of the color of polish on your nails? It's so pretty! ♡

I've just recently started growing my hair longer and this is a godsend! So glad this exists!

appreciate these videos a lot; I've learned so much! btw, would you be interested to make a hair tutorial about setting curls over-night? because I'd love to hear about what techniques you use ~

Wow I've never realized how long your hair is! Its really beautiful and I think the pastel pink really suits your skin tone :)

so helpful ❤ thank you so much

I actually have a shaved head but I watched this anyway because you're one of my favourite RU-vidrs and it's interesting to learn about this part of your life. Thanks for sharing! If I ever get the inclination to grow my hair at least I have a better idea of how to do it, haha. 😊

Thank you so much for doing this! I thought I knew all the tricks about getting longer hair, but you definitely have some good ones! Also, with the chlorine and the pool thing: if you completely saturate your hair with water before swimming in chlorine it kind of limits the amount of chlorine that can saturate as your hair is already wet. However it won't completely limit it, I think the longer you're exposed to it the more gets in, but you can keep getting out and rinsing it with water again! But yeah, if you're ever in the kind of situation where you really want to or have to then that may help!

Wow, you are freaking adorable! How have I not found you before?! Subbed! I just bleached my hair to get the lavender with blue stripes out and redid it green and purple.

I LOVE YOUR STYLE! _

omg im so early 😭 love you alb 💕💕
