Taking Down My 5 Month Old Braids!! l Extreme New Growth + Styling/ Length Check! 

The dirt is not what made your hair grow. Not touching it for an extended period of time promotes growth. Dirty scalp cliffs your pores and prevents new strands from coming through which can prevent thickening of the hair. Long hair is great but not at the expense of healthy hygiene.

Dirt doesn't make your hair grow, low manipulation does.

Dirt doesn’t make hair grow…. Your hair is beautiful ❤

Dirt doesn’t help your hair grow, that’s you leaving your hair alone. Dirt will clog your pores and prevent new strands from pushing through. Keep your scalp clean.

Ok so I do this and keep my hair braided every 3-4 months and my hair grows at least two inches a month. Tips are: clip your ends before you start this and everytime they come out the braids. Her hair should not have looked like that. I put treatments like scalp treatments in my hair everyday. Nothing specific just anything from Amazon that says growth and I switch it every month. Never the same treatment back to back. I keep my hair moisturized with oil water and she’s butter. I wash and deep condition my braids 1-2 times a month. I do scalp massages everyday. I wear glueless wigs/crochet braids/crochet hair. Wear what’s easy. You do this consistently and there is no reason why your hair shouldn’t be down your back

You can thicken your hair by washing it more. A dirty scalp produce thin strands.

To get thicker hair, you gotta get rid of all the split ends altogether or be on a trim schedule depending on how damaged your hair is. Great video ❤️

I had protective styles for 6month but never ever have this problem, It's all because I shampoo my hair once a week.

I just took out a 4 month cocoon braiding pattern out my head and my hair grew 3 inches but I never had my hair in like that for that long longest would be 2 months

Jesus that shedding is crazy girl! Start using the aphogee keratin and Green tea reconstructor ASAP !!! Just spray it on ur braids and go! It works magic !

If you don't use amino acids, you should absolutely! I'm a bio student (pre med) and I am obsessed with botanical and the internal tract system. BCAA would be perfect as most contain 18-22 amino acids, but If you're interested I recommend Cysteine, Arginine and Methionine. The reason MSM crystals were so popular was because of the sulfur which is found in cysteine which is crucial for hair growth, Rice water again cysteine and methionine, Chebe powder too.

I hv a 5 month sew in that needs to come down. I do wash mine every couple weeks. But it still gonna look like yours when the beautician takes it down. ❤️❤️👍🏾

i dont even see why you even bother wearing a wig with your hair looking good after its pressed like that... let your hair breath

I leave my cornrows in from a range of 6-12 weeks, but I wash with shampoo diluted with shampoo Ina squeeze bottle every 2 weeks and the use braid spray ir a spray leave in like Oyin Handmade Greg Juice and seal with my olive oil, avocado, jojoba oil mix. If this works for you, good deal though.

Looks like you could use a lot more off those ends I understand you want to retain length but it would look much fuller if you did

🎉😢The negative talk about your own natural hair… WHY Sis!!! 😮 Your hair is beautiful 😍 You must love everything about yourself & be gentle with yourself. You did great by leaving them in for 6 months. Just go for bi weekly wash & rebraids.

I love leaving my cornrows in for super long like this lol. I wash my scalp/braids while they are still in tho so that my scalp is clean. Loved the video❤️

lol gurl I do the same thing ! That growth goes crazy 🤣

I love a good protective style 😭 my best tip to tell anyone when it comes to thinning that results from them is to focus frfr on taking care of your hair!! Make your hair a priority!!! Learn how to take care of it even if you gotta routinely go to a salon. Personally believe I should be able to have a flawless install and healthy healthy hair underneath!

Protein treatment and serums builds strong hair strands and prevents lots of shedding. Keep strands/ends moisturized while in the braids, water and a light leave in conditioner does well. For scalp care do msm & aloe mix and seal scalp with light or heavy oil(depends on how long you keep braids end). Never apply just oil to the scalp or strands of hair because you’re just sealing in dryness. And of course what you eat and trims

I usually take out my cornrows between 5 weeks to 6 weeks. I don't like keeping them for 6 weeks but 5 weeks is okay for me. I have never left my protective styles over 6 weeks.

My hair had grown thicker by me using Wild growth oil the white one and peppermint oil. Castor oil is a Hit or Miss for thickness.

I clicked on your video because my baby girl was to depressed to even let me take her braids down I’m going to take her 6 month braids out your okay it didn’t look as bad as you think love God Bless

That silk press is the truth. She did a great job.

Hello I use aloe vera & fenugreek spray every other day, your ends are the oldest part of your hair so I recommend keeping your braids oiled, especially wearing a protective style & drink water,water, water.

I’m bald headed so I couldn’t like the video.

Her hair looks gorgeous

You have to trim the insides of your hair not just the bottom

I never left my hair in braids for more than 1 month and I want to try left in braids for 4 months. Love the video.

You could still wash your hair with cornrows. Keep doing you. Especially if it's working for you😍 new subscriber

I just put cornrows in yesterday and plan to take them out sometime in March 🙏🙏🙏

; what does being balheaded have to do with liking your video? That’s mean. What if someone is bald headed & came here for inspiration. lmao wow. That’s like someone saying like this video if your hair is not thin asf.

11:19 use a light colored drape against black hair so we can clearly see the results

Use henna to thicken it

Its giving growth sus💁🏾‍♀️ your hair is beautiful, and I stopped leaving in cornrows this long cause my hair will lock so fast. It's not dirty lol, just be too scared of damaging my hair trying to unlock it.

I dnt hv the patience to keep a protective styl for even 2months .this is too much

Off topics but those nails give me life.

I use a scalp tonic once a week while in my protective cornrows. I am 3 weeks in and will remove them a few weeks! I will not be shampooing. I have my all of my post-protective style hair supplies ready!!!

That’s too much shedding 😢

I do the same girly im on 2 months headed to 3 cant wait to do like you n check out my results

Omg I think I would cry if I saw so much hair in my hands I did big job and I do alot of protective styles and I wash my hair even if it's in protective an style and it grow alot I also used to thought if my hair is in protective style and I keep it longer in and is dirty but now I know is not the dirty that grow my hair is leaving my hair alone in protective style and still was my hair

I’m baldheaded but I liked it anyway 😭

Getting dirt all over the walls! And “bear” they not Belizean.. you mean “if you can deal with the itchiness” 🤣

I do it for 3 maand .grow like crazy😁

I'm about to leave my braids in for a year

This is me right now. I'm going to have to take it down over a period of a few days.

did u wash it during ?

I don’t get it at what point is it just loose braids and not new growth? Even with box braids when it gets messy at the top is that just not the style getting old?

What did you use for growth during the 5 months?

Imagine the smell after 5 months 🤮🤮

❤❤❤❤

I loose that much in a month braids so you’re better off

atleast braid it 2 times a month

Do a big chop ASAP and you’ll see how quickly it flourishes

😳😳😳

5 months 😬 😂

Use castoroil.

The fact them not even braids no more 😩😂

I'm new here
