YASSSS! It's refreshing to see a dark skinned woman with her own long hair! Thank you for the message because too many sistas want that length but don't got the patience for it! Much love!
It's a huge debatable subject whether genetics plays a role in hair growth and YES it does.....I am half black and half Indian my hair is at bra strap length for like ever and I dream of having waist length lol....my little Indian cousins are just 5 and 6 yrs old and they have waist length hair...yesterday I was in Cookies Store and I saw this little Spanish girl about 7 yrs old and she has waist length hair, Indians, Spanish and Caucasians hair grows like crazy without having to do all the extra stuff that we has to do for growth it's a job a full time one too
Right, genetics is an important factor in everything else, why not hair? Science says hair grows an AVERAGE of 1/2 inch each month. That's a long ways from saying EVERYONE'S hair grows exactly 1/2 inch every month. Furthermore, generally, scientists publish their results based on their very small sample or testing group and limited research. Then the masses grab hold of their statistics as universal truth without understanding the science.
LOL. Any oil your scalp likes will do. Mine loves olive oil. My daughter's likes coconut oil and my other daughter's castor oil mixed with almond. Do what works for you.
Seeeeeee this is what I've been waiting for. A youtuber that straight up tells you how long it takes!!! My goodness, nobody wants to straight up address how long it takes. Thank you😂 now I can trust you
Amen! I just hoped on the natural hair care Community here. In just three weeks I've been taking some of these tips and balanced hair care routine I'm seeing a great improvement on my hair. I would say don't focus on having long hair, focus more on healthy hair. Healthy hair will grow faster than you realize. 😊
Thank you for mentioning genetics as a factor in hair growth. And having the courage to talk about hair types and how naturals who have looser curl patterns have an easier time maintaining their hair and retaining length. It seems nobody wants to be truthful about these things. I have 4b/4c hair that I like to wear straight because it’s a lot of work to maintain my hair its natural state. It annoys me when someone with a looser curl pattern tells me I shouldn’t get my hair straightened. Being natural is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I enjoyed your video. Your hair looks amazing, btw.
All truth! Thank you. I think people who go natural are still not accepting it as is. They cover it up with; as you said, weaves, braids, twists, and your real hair is crying out "Im suffocating" lol. No sun, no wind, no moisture from the air. The point you made I liked the most, was when you said if you haven't spent any time with your hair you don't really know your hair. You have to embrace it for what it is and then work within it. Otherwise you just won't have the health and length we all desire...
I don't usually comment on videos but I really wanted to for this one because I feel like you kept it really real on this advice. I like the way you dropped knowledge about genetics and common sense hair care; especially the point about not using too many products. A lot of natural hair videos advise using so many different products that it can be confusing. But when you made that point about keeping 4-5 products in the hair care tool box I was like, "yeeeeeeeah, I feel that.' So thanks. Hope you're having a great 2019 so far!
The BEST way to learn hair is seeking all knowledge about the structure itself. The science of black hair book describes, in an easy to read guide, how unique afro hair is and it really helped me learn HOW to listen to, and to understand my hair so much. I wasn't raised to care as much as I do now and I love that people like you want to share tips because that really helps too. My hair has never been past my shoulder with perms, I was hopeless. Now i see everything different and its past my armpits now. Change your mindset, change habits, and see results.
True, average Ghanaian has hair my 60year old mums hair is longer than that of the girl in the video! Myself too and so all my family and Other Ghanaian friends in the Uk!! My grandma has a natural waist length and she’s 6ft 3 tall so yes genetic plays a big role 🙂
So glad you incorporated genetics and texture. People automatically think that genetics doesn’t play a role in the terminal length and growth rate of your hair.
Dead on the tip about listening to and knowing your hair. For example, everybody seems to love Eco Styler gel, but I've noticed that my ends get so hard and dry when I use it. I used to do a lot of wash and go's so I would use gel everytime. After just a month of trimming my ends they would be so dry and course that I had to trim more frecuently, so I had a harder time retaining length. So, now my go to style are mini twists. Not only do I not need to use gel, it keeps my hair protected and tangle free.
This is great advice! I finally realized my fine stands don't like protective styling because it's more likely to cause breakage in general and also, because it keeps me from learning how to take care of my hair. So, every time I took out a style, it broke bc I didn't know what I was doing. Anyway, subscribed!
Yeah. I definitely agree that less is more. I usually use only around 5 products at a time - shampoo, moisturizing conditioner, strengthening conditioner, moisturizer and oil.
Ugh! Thanks for the reality check! I been struggling, cause as a mixed girl I watch mixed females with a way looser curl patterns tips and I be like “shorty, I got 4b/4c hair” 😂❤️ I needed this video. Thank you love!
Hey Naaa! Is that your real name? I love it 🥰. I 100% agree with everything you are saying except I think there are a few other things that will help with hair growth. 1. Diet, increasing fruit and vegetable intake 2. Supplements - Stinging Nettle, Biotin, Etc 3. Messaging the scalp with oils that are proven to stimulate hair growth - Amla, Brahmi, Rosemary, etc. 4. Exercise - For circulation, moving the body daily increases blood flow to all parts of the body. Thank you so much for your videos, you are amazing and funny.
don't call yourself dumb I started my hair. Journey June13 2016 but when I was little my hair grew fast but it's not long as yours so don't feel bad and true be patient and don't let no one stress you cuz stress make you lose your growth!👊✌
A few years ago my hair used to be short and damaged due to lack of care I used to do but now that I do my hair and take care of it it’s been growing and I love it Some of my tips how I grow my hair (I do my own hair and this might not work for everyone) Protective styles I personally love clip ins and sew ins (curly or blow dry straight) I get a lot of build up so I will scratch my scalp the wash then use grease on my scale (I personally love Indian hemp) Twists or braids before I go to sleep I have silk scarfs and silk bonnets that makes this easier and helps with less breakage Trimming my ends (I have layers and used to have bangs) everything is growing out so I trim my ends everyone 1-3 months (in my family our hair grows fast) If your hair is prone to breakage I suggest deep conditioning, or hair gummies that have collagen in them you can get them at Walmart target or Walgreens (I don’t suggest sugarbear it’s just sugar LOL)
Hey young sis, I can appreciate your knowledge and research on "hair" as I too am on that journey. For this to be a 10 minute talk (in comparison to many others) it was very informative. You have a natural, easy energy flow with the camera and held my attention the whole way through with the details. Most can't (lol). Thank you! I'm subscribed. :)
Lmao you're bomb. Spitting nothing but facts. Ive been natural for 6 years, after my second big chop I got lazy until recently. Ive literally gained an inch and decreased my fairy knots and split ends with a dedicated regimen. I was sleeping on MYSELF!
LESS IS MORE, yes yes yes!! Thank you for saying this!!!!! 😍😍 I wish I had known this in the beginning but now I found a few staple products that work amazing and my hair is thriving! You now have a new subscriber.
Love the advise! I’ve been natural for 4 years and I’m just now really focusing on the health of it. I usually wear it in the same styles because I don’t like to be bothered with it but I think getting to know my hair will help me get the health and growth I desire.
Don't isolate yourself. There are people who have been through what you might be facing right now and they overcame it. Don't push people away, surround yourself with people who are spiritually mature and get the help that you need. Isolation when you are in pain and don't know if there's a way out is dangerous and that's why we have suicide cases. Listen, there's nothing that you can be facing that God is not able to solve for with God nothing is impossible. Hold on. Jesus loves you.
Chileshe Zulu Oh sweetheart! God Bless you 🙏🏻😇! What a beautiful message !!! Always remember, There’s no greater gift than saving a life 🙏🏻 , and that my dear is what u have done ! 😊. God Bless u angel 😇
YESS!! WE all needed this. It’s ok to give tough love when it’s for our bestS Honestly the BEST hair growth video I have seen. I love your personality, your honesty & your just bomb girl. I used to treat my hair like caca and now I’m finally getting my ish together! Also diet does affect your hair growth! And drinking water. Happy growing, detangling, washing, moisturizing, sealing, protecting and retaining ladies & gents! May your wildest hair dreams come true. 💟💖
Umm bioton , like kiritin and collagen always need another vitamin or tons of water 💦 So biotin works great with msm but if you dont drink water it literally just sit inside ur belly!
msn and biotin need vitamin c to work properly. 1000mg vitamin c and 64 oz of water minimum. more if possible. also DO not take these around caffeine. taking your supplements within 5 hours of your morning caffeine will practicall nullify the effects. all you will do is piss them all away and waste your hard earned money. allow 5 hours before or after caffeine for optimum results.
rose eze Try liquid biotin ❤️ You absorb 90% of the vitamins versus on 50% with solid vitamins. Black seed oil helps to, and dietamacious earth works well.
@@manyalanders1550 I did not know about the caffeine! Thanks! I have started taking my vitamins at night and am actually seeing growth..but I was wondering why I didnt see results before..and thats because I would take them in the morning and have coffee right after. Thanks!
Waiting for your rap album sis. Anyway this was so helpful, thanks for bringing us down to earth. I’m texlaxed, I don’t like straight hair so I’m not relaxed and my hair still shrinks and is coily but it’s more of a 3c/4a rather than my natural 4b. I don’t think I can ever stop haha it’s so easier to manage but the mid section of my hair is immune to relaxer. Doing henna on my hair is my form of protein treatment because it’s so amazing and I never do protective styles!
I think you are the most real gal I have seen and first time to watch your video and glad there are still real and honest sisters out there. Gal keep being honest and real......bless you
I don’t take care of my hair AT ALL. It’s natural, 4c I think and its bra strap length. must be genetics. I KEEP saying ima start taking care of it and I really want to this time. maybe I can get to waist length.
Jessica Nwaoha I just put it in a bun everyday with some oil and water and it has grown almost 3 inches in 3 months. My hair is a combo of 3c, 4a, and 4b.
Thank you 🙏 Genetics then proper care. Same for people with clear skin. Some put in the work to get clear skin and some don’t and still have clear skin. Others do everything right and still don’t have clear skin. I just stopped watching all those videos 🤦🏽♀️
When she said “less it more “ I yelled FACTSSS , I’m poor AKA broke , I found out that my hair don’t need all that . I put 2 things in my hair before I go to sleep and when I wake up . I Also don’t moisturize my hair every damn day . People keep saying to do so but I’m a lazy natural so that ain’t gon happenin
Thanks for the tips, I have to start taking care of my hair. My hair takes to much time, 4c girl here. I'm going to start taking care of my scalp and moisturizing
Thank you so much for your words of wisdom pertaining to caring for your hair.. I've just done the BIG CUT... all off.. of course this is nothing new for me.. I've been doing it for years.. because of thinning issues...I recently had a reality check that I have not done ANYTHING to truly help my hair to grow to be strong to be healthy.. This has been confirmation for me.. that without DOING SOMETHING... you get exactly out of something what you put into it.. NOTHING from NOTHING leaves NOTHING. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORDS because they have helped me at the beginning of my NEW BEGINNING of HAIR GROWTH JOURNEY
Like like like! You have a sense of humour especially when you talked about the tree branch getting caught in your hair. What you said is so true because i get pissed when i think my hair is growing then suddenly what happened? hahaha!. Thanks for the tips. You are great!😘😘😘
Mz ChocoMilo Definitely is! My hair was past my bra strap and it was all due to stretching honestly. I went natural 2 weeks ago so this will be an interesting new journey for me.
First off Queen your melanin is beyond popping you’re truly beautiful and hilarious so I’ve officially subscribed and followed you on all platforms 💁🏽♀️💛
Janice Watson Aka J Paris Do you use products in your hair to make it grow one inch a month? My hair goes fast also it has a lot to do with genetics and how you take care of your hair.
if youre in desperate need of moisture try Camile Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-in Conditioner. YAWL. Its the best conditioner I've ever used. Hair feels soft and hydrated for DAYS. Its so unbelievable! It doesnt frizz out your hair and its made with all natural ingredients. I thought the Curls haircare line was my go-to but then I discovered Camile Rose and I just cant even...I use it after I wash (leaves your hair smelling like sugar). Has a honey thickness but once applied to the hair it just melts right in. I dont have to reapply till the next wash which is like maybe a week or so.
Aphogee made my hair super course and break off. I’m medium sensitive to protein not majorly. I have thin 3c hair prone to dryness. Just putting it out there. Do strand test. I really regret using it.
Thank for keeping it real ! I'm on it. Blessings Sis I'm so tired! I've been gluing my hair for 17 year ridiculous! I'm gonna try hard my hair was down to my waist when I was 11 I want it back and th ed journey starts now .. I appreciate what you said listen to your hair!. GREAT ADVICE LOVED IT.. BLESSINGS & CONTINUED SUCCESS 🤗🕊
This is so true 💯🙌🏾 My hair did grow alot from me wearing protective styles (wigs) but because I was only washing and conditioning my hair every 8 weeks my scalp began to suffer and subsequently my hair is not as thick as I would like it to be and my ends were thin. So I just got a good good trim/semi-cut yesterday and I went from near mid back length to a little past armpit length. So it's a minor setback plus due to COVID, I had to go a lot longer without getting proper treatment to my hair because the stylist was shut down as well. No worries though I am going to make a comeback and I'm going to try to keep as much of my length as possible this time around, as well as keep my scalp AND hair healthy. Thanks for the tips!
