products only help maintain what we are doing, we have to do the work as well, its like going to a doctor ,the doctor can only do so much, if he says you need to exercise then you have to, medicine only do so much , same thing with hair products, they only help maintain and stop shredding and make it easier to manage, we still gotta do the work and be patient! well spoken 154angel154 !!
i love this comment. yessss. the 'Natural Hair Hair Growth eGuide Calendar' 2021, even says pray for long hair in 1 of the 100 tips for hair growth it gives!! im ready to start my journey with this calendar, and Jesus!! :)
Lanelle you can do it it just takes patience I’m currently on my hair growth journey too and I know it’s annoying but you just have to stay consistent and stay patient
Lanelle all you need to remember that hair ALWAYS GROWS, the length problem is retention. think of ways to preserve your ends, baby your ends, and when they give you trouble, dust or trim them.
Some people are waaaay too pessimistic 😪 they haven't taken the time out to learn their hair and dont give it enough time to grow and dont try using methods to retain it . And keep telling people about "genetics" this can be really discouraging for others who are looking for ways to retain length . They really need to stop leaving their comments
PleaseTickle Me it is related to genes though. taking care of it correctly and retaining length/moisture is key however, everybody has different growth phases.
Nah I for real think this shit don't grow 💀 I've been having the same shoulder length hair for the past 4 years I swearrrr. My hair still looks the same as it did when I was in elementary school/starting middle school. I've tried everything and my hair is healthy. I like to trim regularly and do protein mask and stuff but nope my hair looks the same 😤 I'm pressed because my step-sister out here with straight waist length hair and here I am sitting here with my ugly fro lol bye
Westernization is THE PITS when it comes to our natural hair. Bantu knots, threading, plats with no extensions; our ancestors thriiiiiived on those hairstyels. Even members of royal African families did hairstyles like that lol but european beauty standards make us think/believe those are "struggle hairstyles". Personally if it serves my hair and helps it grow, I will go to work, church, mall, airport and literally everywhere else in it. Not compromising my hair health so people feel comfortable about themselves. That's their problem, they can fix those insecurities by they damn selves.
@@mycha5335I swear. I always feel so bad for our brothers and sisters across the waters. Africa is where it's at. We have our own problems but at least we can be ourselves without fear of judgment
The fact that you had to put that little disclaimer in the beginning is so crazy... what is wrong w these grown adults picking at others as if they’re in elementary school... Thank you for sharing this video w us
Disclaimer: I am a licensed Cosmetologist 30+ years. Ladies, when you document your daughters hair length, use a tape measure, document the date, her height, and age. Keep a log book, so that you have written documentation along with photos in the event that you need it for legal issues. There is No need to trim hair unless there is damage. If you happen to go to a salon, first make sure that you confirm that they have a posted current Cosmetologist License for your state. During your salon visit, do not allow the stylist to turn you away from the mirror while trimming your hair. (Best to have a friend go with you.) Some stylist want to “up sale” salon service prices or practice a hair style on you by insisting that you need your ends trimmed. Usually the trim turns into a hair cut from telling you 1/2” then they actually cut 2”-3” off, which is significant length. Hair grows an AVERAGE of 1/2” a month, 6” a year. (One half inch per month, six inches per year.) So if the hair stylist cuts 3” of hair off, it will take you 6 months to grow it back. This is why we don’t think our hair is growing, because we keep cutting off the growth progress. And please don’t get a relaxer or color bleaching, because your hair may break off in no time. I know American society is not adapting to the notion that Black Women and Black Girls could have, or grow long hair, but we do and can by just taking better care of our “Crown” and grow it as long as we like. For some reason, we always feel the need to prove to strangers that “this is my real hair” by consenting to strangers touching or pulling ours or our daughters hair. I ask that you NOT CONSENT. Do not let strangers touch your hair, or your daughters hair, because you don’t know what type of “Spirits/Bad Energy” or germs they carry (including Covid-19), or other viruses on their hands or under nails. We Don’t Need to Prove ANYTHING to ANYONE!
Juvi Thank you for the question. Please see the exhaustive explanation I posted September 25, 2020 to you and our fellow “Crown” Sisters to answer your question. I really hope this helps you. God Bless
Tiarrea B Just Doing Me Thank you so much. Please read my most recent post about Split-Ends. This Post is very comprehensive, and should help you and daughter with natural “Crown” hair growth journey. God Bless.
Leaving this>> 1. Wash your hair at least every month 2. FINGER DETANGLE 3. Try different protective hairstyles 4. Don't touch your hair too much. EDIT: Watch the video for more useful information and tips!!
Your hair growth is really shows that we need to just leave our hair alone. Meaning stop messing with your hair every day, pick a style and leave it in for days/weeks at a time. Also find your products and stick with them!! You don't need to buy a new product every time something new comes out! You ever noticed how natural hair influencers on youtube, their hair starts declining after a while or their hair growth plateaus? Reviewing products and tutorials on different hairstyles can have a negative effect on your hair
Francine, exactly! Leave the hair alone. Women constantly doing different hairstyles that only pulls the hair out....My hair grew since the pandemic because I left the 4 plats in place for days at a time and I have a perm. I made sure it was moisturized for each new plating.
Ignore the haters boo boo. You're a delight to watch. Know jealousy when you read it. Watching you from the UK England. Yes, you're internationally known 🤗
Shoot, I don't care about hair type as long as it's moisturized 😂 And I would like to see a video about the natural hair community, I saw those comments trying to tell you your hair type 👀
Tbh I don’t think specifics about hair type matters. Porosity, density, and thickness are way bigger indicators of if someone’s hair routine MIGHT work for you.
Excatly like natural hair people get so toxic for no reason it’s clearly her hair and it clearly grew stop picking apart the video and be happy for another sister
I paused this video to write that you were such a cutie patootie as a little girl. No one will make fun of you even in our hearts. Hair doesn't make us. Anyway you are just a doll today and very positive. God bless you sis.
yes i have 4c and when i want new growth especially when it’s a protective style i put a lil water in my hair and apply grease’s and oils to my hair and it helps it grow and now i’m learning to just leave my hair alone but my hair has been growing a lot.
It’s true learning your hair is super important. I went through a phase where I wouldn’t wash my hair for months and my scalp was always itchy and sore but I was just getting my career started and didn’t really care. I learned that I CANNOT go longer than two weeks without washing and preferably once a week. I feel like I have a naturally oilier scalp and so it gets itchy so fast. I found that ad long as I moisturize my ends and clean my scalp weekly, my hair is happy. It’s funny how different hair routines are. Like if I followed your routine, I would have sores on my scalp, but if you followed mine, your hair would probably be more dry and less healthy. It’s all about learning what your hair needs! 😁
Honey, don't let "haters" get you down! The only person that matters is God almighty! He is my EVERYTHING, my Savior & my Healer. You are beautiful all by yourself & I offer congrats on your successful hair growth journey. I'm much older than you are but you inspire me to take better care of my hair. I just started my own no heat, no chemical, all natural ingredient journey of my own this past week, so keep the videos coming because I appreciate all the good tips you put out. May the Lord bless you & protect you in all you do, in Jesus's precious name. Amen!!!
I’m glad you attached photographs of your hair when it was shorter because I was wondering why your curls looked like that (no hate). I too don’t agree with the hair typing system because it puts us in categories when it’s more of a scale.
Had a feeling you were going to pull out Royal Crown when you mentioned using a different grease. And your experimental styles were cute not homeless at all. Thanks for the video and the honesty.
I love her, she's so real & honest, and such an inspiration. It's literally because of her that I feel enabled to try this hair journey & actually feel like its possible to succeed at it.
I really enjoy your content. Naturals must learn to listen to their hair. I am always amused at ridiculous comments from subbies when they clearly have not taken the time to know what works on their own hair and focusing on what a RU-vidr does to their own hair. I think you give great advice especially about finger detangling. I've grown into a lazy Natural and I love your hair attitude 😊🤸♀️
Giiiirl what you’re saying is so me. Grew up in Zimbabwe and we Never used to use shampoo or care about what we washed our hair with or what we put in it. We put things like cooking oil to moisturize and that was it. Only started really knowing and learning more about my hair starting last year
Your beautiful! I'm a older blk woman and in our era, we were told that we had to whitewash ourselves in order to fit into society. And as the generations continued our mothers, mothers, mothers did the same. So a lot of us grew up ashamed of our natural look of our negro hair. But I am so proud of you millennials that are rocking your natural hair and looking like kings and queens that you are. I have 4 children which are young adults now right around your age 2 girls and 2 boys and my girls grew their hair and rock it and my sons grew their hair and wear long dreads! I'm proud of y'all babies. Cause lord knows it's hard for us older generations to get that sickness out of our heads! BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLK YOU!!!!!!!!
So inspiring. I def agree that learning your hair and how to do it is the FIRST step in getting your hair to grow. I plan to teach my future kids that EARLY lol and yes to the hair grease! I'm a new believer!
Wow I wish I knew enough to start my hair journey at 12. Thankful I wasn’t too much older like 17 or 18. I’m about halfway to my goal 3 years later!! Thanks for sharing your journey
Girl your afro is 🔥 and please go ahead and drag the natural hair community it needs to be said! Nappyheadedjojoba just made a video about it. I will be waiting for your take on it. 🌼
Everyone should try this deep conditioner; massage olive oil on your scalp and saturate conditioner on the ends of your hair. Separate the hair and finger de-tangle (only use your hands). You should be able to run your hands through your hair w/out disrupting the curls. Put into Bantu knots; wrap it up with a plastic bag and leave it over night, or, for 2 hours. It will make them curls pop 😍 All you gotta do is keep the moisture in after rinsing it out.
Thank you... you are one of the very, very few who can show pictures of your actual hair at a young age and what you have actually accomplished... kudos ... most people had hair at a young age, broke it off and grew it back... you were a beautiful girl ... kids and adults can be cruel sometimes... this is a real true video and you did a wonderful job. We can all take a lesson from you...🙂🙂
My grandma used to take care of my hair, when she left for the 🇺🇸 I learned to take care of it on my own, more ladies need to learn to take care of and do there own natural hair.
So let me just say I have no mean thing to say you were such an adorable child It was like watching you grow up what shocked me most is you don’t even use a lot of products so I’ma just sit back and follow your routine thank you for posting this it was very informative and had a lots of tips that I will apply in journey so thank you so much I really hope you don’t have to take this down cause I already saved it to my natural hair play list 😅anyway thank you for uploading can’t wait for more😆
I’m deadass following your routine, the grease and the butter girl. I even wore the scarf. I’m just chilling now, my hair feels better fr though. Even though I have low porosity.
😳So essentially you've _always_ been this pretty?😂 Regardless of your hair situation, looking at your childhood pics all I could think was "Sooo cute!"😍 Congratulations on your progress though!😊 #LoveToSeeIt
I definitely agree that no one knows how to handle or do your hair but YOU! Becoming self-efficient and learning how to do my own hair has helped my grow thick so so much. I noticed that when I stopped getting sew ins and going to hairstylists, my hair has been flourishing on its own because I don’t do much to it.
After watching your routine video I picked up the Palmers, TGIN Butter and the Camille Rose Gel. The gel leaves me with flakes. So it's just sitting. But, I am so glad I tried the butter and the Palmers oil. My hair has never been this moisturized and is definitely growing, thank you for sharing your tips!
Thank you for your upload, I appreciate your pictures. I also am "pleased" that you are a natural who's hair was not long as a child as you really come from where most of us started. Therefore you know the struggle firsthand rather than someone who always had long hair as a child (no disrespect to those persons in that category). Again, thank you for the content.
So what I gathered from this video is that less is more. Copy! I'm soo excited to reach your length girl, you look fabulous. Everytime I have extensions or faux locs or twists in I'm like "damn, I miss my natural hair." I just wanna spend all my time nurturing and growing this beautiful ass plant on my head
That’s how my mom grew my hair, wash it, moisturize and braid it. Take down the next week and do it again 😂 if I have a daughter, she’s getting the same treatment
You’re like me when I first became a natural I also “deep conditioned” my hair with regular conditioner over night, with a tinfoil cap, in twists😂 it’s soo dangerous but I felt like it moistures my hair and made it grow. I would put water on my hair a lot to the point I noticed my scalp was suffering from a moist scalp and not allow it to dry before hairstyling. Man we thank God for growth!! Now I’m growing my hair out with just wearing twists☺️ btw you are beautiful ! Thanks for the video! Subscribed.
I Laughed all the way through this video. When you said RU-vid told me to I almost fell off the chair. You are absolutely adorable keep doing what you do your hair is gorgeous
All hair grows you just need to get to know your hair, what works the best for u, have a consistent routine with it, and eat the best you can. I did it and my hair is growing like never before. Trust the process! She's right about the pattern of the hair starting to change when it gets long, the same happened to me and my hair has been 4c since the first day!
I finally grew my hair past armpit length and my stylist cut my hair to my shoulders. I am now working to get my hair back to that length. But I loved this video btw ♥️
This is why I dont trust people. I feel like stylists secretly don't want you to have long hair. Next time you go, be sure to tell them not to trim. That whole "TrIm EvEry 48 WEekS" is BS!!
Absolutely gorgeous✨ I love you! I’m also on a hair growth journey. Currently working on staying out of my hair, braiding it up, and leaving it alone. I’m currently at shoulder length.
I never had a perm but I learned my hair. Drinking water, consuming fruits and veggies are extremely important to hair growth. What you place in your body is vital as well. I keep my regime simple water, oil, leave in conditioner, and grease or moisturizer. I shampoo every two weeks and condition every week. My hair is mid-back length currently but recently I damaged my ends with heat so I am now treating them. Love the vid and I’m a new subbie.
I have been in my healthy hair journey since 2017 (three years )... the first two years I haven’t notice massive growth because I think my hair and I were learning about what work best for us, routines, the better product , moisturizing, shedding, solving hair issues ... etc Then in 2020 ( third year) , finally my hair looks long, healthy, fuller thicker and I know how to manage it well myself .. I feel like my own hair expert. Be patient , your hair will grow it just needs time and learning ..
I’ve had my natural hair in braids with extensions, which I would keep for 4months at a time, and I would shampoo once or twice in that period, so the braids would keep.. During the pandemic, I’ve done my micro braids myself and shampooing less.. Following your tip, I will now shampoo at least once a month.. I thank you for your honesty and sharing your learning experience..
Never be ashamed at how far God has brought you...just a heads up no one has it all together and your beautiful by the way and so is your hair 😍😍👌🏾🔥🔥🔥 keep these amazing videos coming sis🙌🏾
LOVED YOUR AFRO! ITS NOT EASY FOR A YOUNG GIRL TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THEIR HAIR , ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A HAIR CONDITION. SO I REALLY ADMIRE THAT. BLESSINGS!
Thank you for your honesty after being in the foster care system I've struggled to really love my hair and I'm in my 50's this year I'm trying braids and being natural for the first time wish me luck
Out of every natural hair video I’ve seen on RU-vid. Your video was the best! You were totally authentic, you have lots of before pictures and I can actually see your transition and your hair is amazing and you are beautiful! #HairGoals
My hair is exactly everything you described. I didnt know i had curly hair until i started doing my own hair. My mom asked me where i get curls from. My hair is coarse, wavy and curl pattern. My hair loves "Hello Hydration" conditioner, and SheaMoisture extra moisture detangling leave in.
Hey this is inspiring. I’m starting my hair growth journey and I’m starting off with a small fro. I was really insecure about wearing it but in order for my hair to grow the way I need it to I need to let my scalp breathe. Weave is becoming very irritating to my scalp. Now I’m rocking my natural fro and I’m a bit desperate and just wish I could skip the short phase but it is what it is. I’m a love every step of each phase lol. Seeing your story has given me and probably many other girls confidence in our hair.
I would recommend wearing box braids (not thin ones) or less tense protective styles like sow ins. These really helped my hair grow even more due to my hair being left alone and only messed with when my hair when washing, conditioning, and moisturizing on my wash days. Also trim any split ends, damaged ends, or breakage. Best of luck towards you👍
