Heyyy 👋🏾 My plateau length had always been around collar bone (shoulder length). After I stopped doing these things, my hair has been growing and I'm aiming for tailbone length by 2027. What's your plateau length?

@allettehannon1144 19 дней назад

That's right.... Put some "respect" on the ends of our hair😄😄😄 I like that one. Facts😊

My plateau has been shoulder length. I have just gotten past it!

@Natural2020_ 19 дней назад

Same as me. Yayyyyy!!!! So happy for you. It'll keep on getting longer and longer.

Hi what did you do to pass your shoulder length, mine is stacked there since May 2023

My plateau length is a little above armpit length hoping and praying to God I get past it!

@Natural2020_ 12 дней назад

Amen, nothing is impossible with God. I can't wait for you to come back in a year after changing how you handle your hair and it'll be heading towards bra strap length 🙌🏽

@Happy2be4c 19 дней назад

Mine was armpit length. I would wear it out and style my hair every 3 days thinking I was protecting my ends. Then I messed it up by doing a texlax. So I big chopped last September. I have been keeping it moisturrized and started protecting my hair under a head band wig. I came across your videos and I learned to plait and use flaxseed gel at the ends of my hair and I am seeing crazy growth and retention. By the end of this year my hair will be longer than last year before I big chopped it off. Thanks to you sis❤❤❤❤. You are a blessing!!

@Natural2020_ 18 дней назад

What an amazing journey!! I'm definitely glad you mentioned about Texlax because I was told it wouldn't really affect my hair. Glad I didn't do it now. It's amazing how just protective styling and putting our ends away does wonders. Can't wait to hear about your growth next year 🙌🏽 And thank you ☺️

@Happy2be4c 18 дней назад

@@Natural2020_ A textlax is the same as a relaxer. It's just a weaker form. I only did it once and for a few months it was cute. But I started to notice my hair was getting thinner and my banto knots lost the volume it had. I decided to let it grow out then cut it when I felt comfortable with the length. I hated the way my hair was beginning to look it was lifeless. So I chopped it off and started a new growth journey... fyi 😃

Hello, is the flaxseed gel on your ends in place of sealing with Shea butter or an oil ?

@A_Wilson 19 дней назад

For me, I plateaued at just above bra strap length. The reason was simple, I did ALL the wrong things for my hair! I started heat stretching after every wash, which was every week at the time. I stopped using coconut oil prior to washing, and I wore my hair out every week AND I combed it dry! 😅 My hair kept getting shorter and shorter. Then, I had to cut a significant amount a couple of years ago from heat damage and just over manipulation. Now I'm back to just about bras strap length. ☺️

@Natural2020_ 18 дней назад

Hey 👋🏾 yes, I can see how those practices wouldn't help much. But I'm glad you had a reset and you're past the plateau now. Onwards and upwards from here (well, downwards actually lol)

I have past my plateau length now, 4 inches from tailbone length …buuuuutt keeping the front loose is soo hard, it’s now thinner. I like slicked baby hairs high ponytails 🫣 my goal is to thicken the front so I won’t have a mullet by the time I get to tailbone lol

@Natural2020_ 13 дней назад

Yay!!! 🎉🎉 That's so cool! Is tailbone length your ultimate goal? Lol I hear the struggle with the front. Can you substitute the slicked edges and ponytails for something else a bit more protective?

@makemediasounds 13 дней назад

@@Natural2020_ thank you 🥹 I would say yes tailbone is my first goal now 😃 I dislike the lose front look on me but I will continue trying to find a style I like and that’s softer to the front of my hair ❤️

My plateau length has always been collar bone length while wet AND with shrinkage it always lands at ear length once dry. 😢😢 I will definitely try your tips and come back after 1 yr. Thanks for sharing ❤

@Natural2020_ 18 дней назад

Yay, I can't wait to hear of your growth in a year's time. As long as you're consistent, I'm so confident you'll be around armpit length after a year.

@Natural2020_ 12 дней назад

You can do. Try and cut out the things in this video and then I just released a new video where I share what I do (in short). That will help you to get past it by this time next year.

@gingersnaps997 18 дней назад

Mine is bra strap length. I have realized that I don't moisturize enough like I did in the past, especially in a wash and go. I also began to roller set my natural hair for more of a stretched style. Hair behaves better and holds moisture better too.

@Natural2020_ 14 дней назад

Thank you for commenting. Have you been able to get past bra strap length as yet? Ooh I've never tried roller sets but I can definitely see how stretching your hair that way would really help it.

You can also inspect the hair that falls out for a bulb at the end. Shed hair will have a whiteish bulb at the end, if not, then it's most likely breakage.

@Natural2020_ 9 дней назад

That's correct. I mentioned this around 8:19 😊

@my-yoshi2460 11 дней назад

My plateau has been shoulder length. I have very fine strands, medium density. Even though every single porosity test result indicated my hair was low porosity, when I started treating it like high porosity, I started maintaining more length. I had to add protein treatments. I also believe tucking my ends away and double sealing my ends (flaxseed or botanical gels) helped.

@Natural2020_ 11 дней назад

I have heard that the porosity tests aren't really accurate, but that's good that you were able to discover it anyway. Sounds like you're doing well on your journey 🙂

Shoulder length, stuck there for years

@Natural2020_ 7 дней назад

Oh no 😮 Did you recognise a few things in this video that you're currently doing?

@naturalbeauty1320 18 дней назад

My plateau is shoulder length. I've gotten past it in the past but I had a set back and had to cut it. It had multiple lengths and it's just now getting to be one length. So I know it is growing, just not very fast. Plus I have to color my grey hair which is a demarcation for growth so I used to wash my hair weekly but I'm trying to go every two weeks now or even once a month. I don't use a lot of products so I don't get a lot of build up.

@Natural2020_ 18 дней назад

If you've gotten past it before, no doubt you'll do it again 🙌🏽 Trying to get to monthly washes, yes that's so helpful when life is a bit busy and full on. Have you heard of Scoop and Spread? I learned the technique from Green Beauty. If I occasionally need to stretch wash day another week, I do a process called scoop and spread which helps.

@naturalbeauty1320 11 дней назад

Yes I have heard of the scoop and spread technique from Green Beauty. I'm trying....I think it's growing but I just need to stop watching it so closely. Do the same routine and regimen consistently and growth will be the result. Thanks for responding.

Hi sisi, do you see short hair on the floor now that you are busy doing your hairl? I do use combs and brushes but on wash days I use my fingers to remove shaded hair and knots on my hair but I always notice short hair on top of my dressing table and on the floor.

@sibongilemtungwa1077 15 дней назад

I don't use combs and hair brushes

Heya, I certainly don't notice a lot of short/broken hairs, whether that's on the floor, table or on my top. I too wasn't using combs or brushes for a little while, and I may return to things being that way but I'm not absolutely strict on it at this stage.

My hair at the back of head😢.. seems not to grow.. what can I do?

@Natural2020_ 4 дня назад

Hey, hmm. It's hard to say really but a few typical culprit would be: how do you typically wear your hair? Is the back rubbing on your clothes, pillows, chairs or anything like that? Do you keep it in a protective style? Do you wash and moisturise your hair regularly?

@lwendobanda2986 4 дня назад

@@Natural2020_ mostly I sleep on my back maybe that could be the reason,, it's always in a protective style because I'm trying to retain length plus I do moisturize.

@Natural2020_ 4 дня назад

@@lwendobanda2986 maybe that's it. But if your hair is covered with a satin or silk scarf, I wouldn't have thought sleeping on your back would prevent length retention. Have you tried hair growth oils and massaging daily? If not, you could try doing that regularly for a about a month and see if you notice even a small difference.
