I do nothing to my hair. No heat, no blowdrying. I sleep on a silk pillow with my hair in a braid, I only use silk hair ties. I don’t wear my hair loose or in tight hairstyles. I use rosemary oil daily on my scalp. I do oil treatment bi-weekly and use deep conditioning treatments once a week. My hair has never been dyed. It still look like shit and is thin. Genetics are everything
Also diet is really big. Products can only do so much. If you’re not getting enough water and proper nutrients you won’t have healthy hair unless you’re blessed with crazy good genetics
I don’t mean to pile onto the comments, but have you gotten your thyroid checked out? If you have thinner hair, or if your hair is thinning, it could be from hypo or hyperthyroidism (at least thats what it was for me)
Same here 😭 use Black tea in a spray bottle !!! I think the caffeine boosts blood flow, it made my hair grow soo much and my hair was never past my shoulders
Even if you’re blessed with genetics you have to take care of it. I was blessed with dark think very long very healthy hair, when I was in my early teens it started falling out like crazy to the point that I lost nearly half of it due to too much stress, iron deficiency and etc. It came back later on (I started taking vitamins and doing other stuff for it) but “later on” stands for like 5 years…. So really genetics don’t give you a 100% guarantee.
After all these years experimenting I am 100% convinced that having long healthy hair has alot to do with genetics/genes. Yes its good to care of your hair and there are things that can help but genetics play a "very" "very" big role. Here in Jamaica where I live I know a lot of chinese/Asian women who don't use rice water and I also know a lot of Indian women who don't use coconut oil and they still have very healthy hair almost touching the floor
Exactly 😂 but here are influencers with good genes fooling people that they got those hairs just because of the all tips and tricks. Some of my friends has beautiful long straight hairs since childhood. Now I think they can also start RU-vid telling people that they used these products and got those beautiful locks 😂
Unfortunately this is not for everyone. I see you have naturally straight hair and this is the key. It is so easy to take care of. I have medium wavy hair and if I dont do anything with heat it looks messy (hagrid) and simply not done. My hero is the dyson airwrap. Since I use this tool my hair doesnt have any breakage. And I still use conventional curling irons nearly everyday to enhance my natural hair. Just dont leave the strands for 20 sec on the iron, dont let your hair burn and youll see it works.
yes she has simple straight hair which is super easy to take care of - I wish people with straight her knew how much time & effort goes into haircare if you have wavy or curly hair😕 its not the same thing and if you don’t know what your exact hairtype requires the results are often frustrating..once I used the curly hair method & not using silicones my complete hair changed! Curly hair is so pretty but I really wish people would see the hours of work..detangeling.. ton of leave in conditioners to even being able to brush to your hair.. special hair brushes and tc just to then ask you „just brush your hair“ or „why don’t you brush your hair“🤡 (your hair will like you rubbed it on a ballon for minutes straight)
I have curly hair, but heat is the absolute enemy for me! I have to have specific products to keep the frizz away; I can't blow dry it, can't towel dry it, and cannot brush it whilst dry at all lest it turn into a frizzy mess. 😅 wavy and curly hair with varying porosity and thickness really adds difficulty to maintaining healthy hair.
Have you tried heatless 'overnight' styles? Since you do actually want to wear your hair curly, that might be a good alternative to heatstyling. And personally, I've found the curls way more lasting then with heatstyling.
Also, hard water is a big one. I used to live where there was hard water and when I moved to a humid island with soft water, my hair got wayy better. But that’s by chance, not everyone will have that. Also, clarifying shampoos we’re a game changer for me as someone with fine hair.
You moved to an island?? 😍😍 I've gone with my family on a cruise to 3 different islands this year and last year, and it's taken all our money. How can a person afford to move to an island? It's my dream 🥰🥰
I don't do shit to my hair (talking about dying or styling it) i even air-dry it unless i'm in a hurry, i try not to wash it too often even tho i have fine hair so it gets oily quickly so i wash it about twice a week... Guess what, never gonna look even remotely close to something i would be happy with because its to fine/thin...no volume and frizzy 😅 so girls who were blessed with healthy strong hair with volume, i envy you!
If you use a shampoo without sulfates it won't strip your scalp/hair as much, so you can wash it more often which makes it look healthier. Also dont be scared of silicones because those give shine and protect the hair. Just make sure to wash it with a sulfate shampoo once in a while. Oh and! Sometimes blow drying is more beneficial for thin hair. It makes it less frizzy and oily. As long as you use the cold setting 💗
@Bigheartoneggshells i used silicone and sulfate free shampoos and it completely ruined my hair. So didn't make my hair healthy at all. I hydrate my hair and then I need those silicones once in a while and wash it off with a Sulfate shampoo, as i already said. Not all products work for everyone, so this was just a tip what works for me. Cause 'skipping' everything made my hair the worse it has ever been.
I have fine hair. My hair type is 1c, but I'm able to grow it like hers. I live in a humid area (right now is 98% humid). I have it long, U cut but have face framing layers. ru-vid.comOC76YUC3scs I use something similar in my hair in order to achieve volume. It's from Alina Shmidt. I don't know her but I normally style my hair like her, just with a high bun. But I wouldn't recommend super tight like she does because it will stay flat around the head and with volume at the bottom... I use hair conditioner and when its wet I use a small amount of hair oil. I hope it helps!
I genuinely appreciate this comment, even as a woman who doesn’t have children here, the years go and my hair is thinning lol, & I’m coming to great terms & appreciation that we are as we are! 🧡🧡 you go mama!
girl you have simple straight hair which is super easy to take care of & for other hairtypes it isn’t that easy, doesn’t work😕 I wish people with straight her knew how much time & effort goes into haircare if you have wavy or curly hair, its not the same thing and if you don’t know what your exact hairtype requires the results are often frustrating..once I used the curly hair method & not using silicones my complete hair changed! Curly hair is so pretty but I really wish people would see the hours of work..detangeling.. tons of leave in conditioners to even being able to brush to your hair.. special hair brushes or expensive hair products just for people to then ask you „just brush your hair“ or „why don’t you brush your hair?“
True, I have wavy, frizzy hair. You cannot just brush them or put something on and be done with it. I use tons of masks and products to get rid of the frizz and define my waves plus braid them every night and still it's a big,frizzy mess that just refuses to take any shape I give it. Straight might not be best for keeping a style but at least when you brush them and go out you look like a human rather than an electrocuted alien.
I think the way you detangle your hair when it’s wet makes a huge difference. NEVER use a brush! Use a comb and start at the bottom of the strands and gently work your way up section by section. By doing this, you are not breaking hair strands into shorter strands because you are not forcing your comb through knots top to bottom. It’s worked for me. I’ve had long hair for most of my life and have been doing this since I was about 13 when I saw the tip in a magazine.
well my hair is her length and grows about 16 inches a year, so idk bc I dye it every month use bad shampoo dry shampoo don't use many products only blow dry after shower sometimes even w out heat protecant cuz I j don't care - it looks great and is ab 2x her thickness as its still somehow curly after everything:( I brush my hair when its wet dry and I have no split ends I rlly rlly believe genetics are just it, my mom has the same thick hair at 40 so idk
Everyone got different hair types. I don't do anything about my hair but I still deal with frizzy, tangled hair with breakage and dry scalp. I got medium/fine wavy hair. I have tried creams but they don't do much either and I prefer it not being weight down.
Side note: detanglimg your hair *very gently* and keeping it detangled is key so you avoid damaging it with your comb sagging on knots. Every strand counts❤
I remember a doctor once told me, “genetics provide the gun, and what you do every day loads the trigger” for the outcome that you see in your daily life and physical health. Yes, you may have a predisposition for silky, full hair. However, if you eat terribly, have no exercise, and live a life of high stress- that can counteract your predisposition. Do the best you can to be healthy and take care of yourself.
my hair grew soooo much after 2020 when i put a full stop on dying, bleaching, blow drying, and heat styling. not everyone wants to do that and that’s cool but yeah it does absolute wonders for your hair. mine reaches my a$$ now and that was never ever the case
I agree. I stopped dying my hair 4 years ago, stopped using heat more than a year ago. My hair is almost reaching my butt and it grows like grass. I now need to cut it once every two months because its very big. I once did not cut my hair during 6 months and it also worked. But it was all natural and had not heat damage, that's why I was able to not cut it for so long
@@tequilabumbum4373 I air dry and it's not thick at all, it's fine. I wash it 2/3 times a week and when it's wet I put a small amount of hair oil. It might not work for you. For reference, my hair type is 1c
I believe my hair is healthy. I don’t use heat on it nor color it but it still looks frizzy. The only way I can get it beautiful naturally is leaving my humid country lol
Try looking for products that have Aloe, coconut, or lavender, they’re humectants and good hydrators, they pull moisture from the air and help keep down frizz.
I would suggest maybe getting layers? I used to hair straight hair (now i have curly) but i got short layers and curtain bangs made everything 10x better! ❤
I can confirm. I have straight hair and its long and pretty healthy. I never blowdry it or straighten or curl it. For many many years I just used shampoo and conditioner. And my hair is very healthy
same, and i don't even watch any haircare videos, it just found me 😭 the algorithm is EVIL. but we've got this, babe - keep shining with your beauty everyday, every second, always !!
Dude I'm 22 and I've hardly used any heating tool like 4-5 times in my ENTIRE LIFE!! and still my hair specially the lower half is hella dry and damaged 😭😭😭
So true! During the pandemic I obviously wasn’t able to get my hair colored and I also worked from home so I stopped using heat on it…..it took the length to the next level. I always wondered why I couldn’t get my hair past my boobs and now its down to my butt and healthier than ever
I have around waist length hair as a boy and I’ve never dyed my hair in my life, sleep on a silk pillowcase,I don’t overdo anything and that makes me thankful now I’ve heard this. 😊
I want to dye my hair but I'm letting it grow out first then doing so, I had dyed it so much within the last 5ish years and never had a clean break so I'm doing it now. It has never been better
Yes I literally just wash, condition, and brush my hair and everyone always says “ woww your hair is so soft” “your hair is so healthy and beautiful” and I’m like because I just clean it and let me be natural lol.
Before I cut my hair shorter, I used to use heat on my hair only for special occasions. And it was very healthy even though I didn’t cut my hair that often at all. But this new hairstyle I have requires more styling, so there was a time where I used heat on my hair everyday. And now I’m noticing that it really did some damage to my hair, so I’ve stopped and again, only using heat for special occasions
My hair is frizzy, grows extremely slowly (in five years it only got from my shoulders to below waist length with a trim each year). I don’t use heat and I don’t dye it and I brush really gently but I have so many split ends! I always try so hard to not damage it it any way! I’ve always wanted to have long healthy hair!
I do everything to my hair n it still grows n thick. Even I straighten my hair all the time since middle school n still grows. But it’s a hassle straightening curly hair after a certain length so I stopped , only do it on special occasions. But I will say, I hair mask once a week and use rice shampoo n conditioner and use natural leave in hair conditioner.
🤍Wash hair less often 🩵Don’t put your hair in high ponytails or buns. 🤍Don’t go to bed with it wet, let it air dry. 🩵Use a little bit of serum or oil to smooth your hair down before bed, and then put your hair in a normal loose braid, no French braids. Regular braid. 🤍Wear a satin bonnet and use satin pillow case. 🩵Wear a jumbo size satin scarf over your head to protect your hair from the sun on super hot days. 🤍Do 5 minute scalp massages with any oil before shampooing with an herbal shampoo. 🩵Eat lots of lean protein, healthy fats, and fresh fruits and veggies. 🤍Drink water for every meal and with your snacks. 🩵Go on a 10 minute walk daily. 🩵🤍🩵🤍Exercise and healthy diet promotes healthy body. Healthy body means healthy hair as long as you don’t chemically damage it. Always treat your hair as if it were a small baby. With kindness and care. 🤍🩵🤍🩵
I stopped styling my hair it was just up for a year and the ends still looked so damaged and my hair just looked unhealthy I take iron and vitamin c and other probiotics but idk why I can’t get my hair or my nails to look decent
Yes especially the simple touch with your hands. Transfers oils while stripping oils and pulling out hair through out the day when you throw it up in a pony numerous times. Or brush it a million times. Just keep it untangled and moisturized and everyone would be at their best.
I never use heat, only blow dry it 2-3 times a month when I’m in a hurry. My hair are wavy and tangled so I only comb them in the morning before leaving the house and after washing them 2-3 times a week. And I cut it once a year. Everybody asks why my hair grows so fast and thick. And also: do not dye regularly!
Same! I now have to cut it more because it was in my butt, but I do the same thing as you do. Don't use the blow dryer on a regular basis and don't dye my hair. Stopped 4 years ago.
its basically genetics and what you eat, i dont use heat ive never dyed my hair i use a silk bonnet, but its so coarse and its always frizzy and full of split ends. My hairdresser told me not to straighten my hair to often and that my hair is dead but i dont even blowdry my hair lol
My hair never touches heat unless there's a wedding so like once every 3 years and even then my hair still looks damaged, frizzy, and it does NOT grow 😭
I don't have the same hair type as you, if anything most people with my curl pattern criticise me for not doing much with it, but my hair is so much longer because I don't use a tonne of products, or pull and pin it into a tonne of styles. As long as I keep up with the ends, it retains its length and the growth shows. But for all the hair tutorials I've found that use tonnes of gel and several brushes or combs I can't be surprised to see the hair channels with stagnant lengths.
My hair is really pretty, fine yet dense 1c/2a hair. I have a reddish brown color that is quite nice. But I used to abuse it with the straightener every day, and chop it off subsequently because of the damage. Thus, I have never grown it past bra strap length. My goal is to have hip length hair by 30! Its shoulder length now and finally SUPER healthy. And I know now how to maintain it!
