Hello 👋🏾 Océanne! I’m glad you enjoy twists as well. It’s definitely my go to for most occasions as well. I love how easy twists are to do. Thank you for watching and commenting!
My hair is GROWING FAST AS HELL, from the two strand twist, detoxing scalp every two weeks, using peppermint, rosemary, and aloe vera and avocado and almond. I also drink peppermint tea twice a day and take prenatal vitamins. My hair is growing so fast that everyone who know me is noticing and is shocked.
Hey! How do u detox your scalp, was it using the following ingredients u mentioned or were those two separate things u did, and were all those ingredients oils? And does the peppermint tea do?
I wholeheartedly agree --- twists for the win! When I was doing flat twists back to back for months, that's when I noticed the most growth. My routine was consistent - shampoo and DC every week like clockwork. No fuss, just simple.
Yessss! I tried telling people that twists were the wave when looking to grow natural hair. I just love how easy they are to do and they don’t require a great deal of skill to install. It is literally a style that anyone can manage week by week. It’s the perfect protective style in my opinion. No stress and tension on the hairline or hair itself. It really helps create a consistent routine conducive for hair growth and length retention. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi 👋🏾 Vita! You can also try to alternate between twists and a style you like If you don’t fully like the look of twists in your hair. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@kendraglowy7554 hello 👋🏾! I use the wakati shampoo and conditioner. It’s my favorite right now. I get mine from target but it’s sold everywhere. Thank you for watching and commenting!
My hair is healthier since I quit wearing extension braids. You are correct. It is almost impossible to moisturize your hair when it's locked into extensions. I moisturize at least 4 nights a week -- my hair needs it.
Hello 👋🏾 Randa! Thank you for watching and commenting! I have definitely found it difficult to keep hair moisturized when keeping in a “protective style” with hair added for a long time. If anything I’ve experienced breakage from my hair being left in a dry state for so long.
@@CammyjOfficial Exactly! There is really no such thing as "protective styling", at least not in the context people think it is. It's all about keeping your hair from tangling into fairy knots and locking. I twist my hair every night, style it into a high puff during the day and moisturize at least 4 nights a week. We have to do what our hair needs. Each of us will have a different regimen because of genetics, porosity, density, environment etc. I also found it helpful to spritz the scalp with water when I do moisturize. I always wondered why my nails always grew quicker than my hair --- probably because our hands touch water more.
@@RandaWise oh yes I definitely agree that “protective styles” aren’t really protecting a thing 😂😂 based on how we are deciding to wear our hair. Maybe I should do a video on that. I definitely agree that everyone should do what’s best for their hair because as you said, everyone’s hair will have different needs.
My only issue with two strand twists..... When you don't have thick/ dense hair it doesn't look that good tbh Seeing scalp takes away from the look. If not for that I definitely would do it.
Hello JK! I definitely understand what you’re saying. I have a friend who does mini twists instead because her natural hair is fine/thinner. She makes videos on this because it’s true that when you have thin hair more scalp shows when you do twists. She also adds a little bit of hair to thicken them up without causing breakage and damage. Here is her channel where you can see her many videos and tutorials for thin natural hair ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kBbo8jHMxfU.html
Hi hi 👋🏾! Yes they saved my hair as well. My hair was able to maintain so much length due to keeping it twisted up. Thank you for watching and commenting!
That’s exactly how I grew my hair these past 2 years! I did 4 twists- 2 in the front and 2 in the back. That was it. I would cover it with a head band wig or just wear it in a low ponytail when I went out. Now I ditched all hair that’s not my own and wear it in twist outs or low ponytails. It’s grown so much! Thanks for this video. I can totally relate!
Hello 👋🏾! I am so glad to hear that twists worked for you! It’s literally my go to style. Low maintenance and lowww manipulation. It is really a style that helps retain length/keeping growth. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@CammyjOfficial of course! I just found your channel and have been watching all your videos! I actually just started a channel called Naturally Relaxed. It’s about natural and relaxed hair care. You should come over and check it out girl!! I’m relaxed but I love watching how to grow natural hair so much! Thanks again!!
Hi sistah. You are correct. I either do a twist out or high puff. People think that leaving your hair in braids for weeks and months is protecting the hair. Protecting from what? Hair needs to be moisturized and detangled, and depending on our hair's porosity, length and density, that might be 4 days a week, 1 or 2 days a week. For me, I have to constantly make sure my hair isn't tangling. I cannot do that when it's braided or cornrowed for months. What happens is that it locks and I cannot properly moisturize. You are on point, I'm right with you.
Hello Randa! I’ve learned my lesson from leaving a “protective style” in too long. Breakage on top of breakage. I’ll just stick to twists for protection and do knotless braids for vacations and take them out not too long after returning. 1 month is the max I’ll keep a style in. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi 👋🏾 Errin! That’s been my most successful no fuss style as well. I just feel like twists are really it when it comes to protective styles. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I have videos on how twist my hair. Here is one video you can refer to. I show step by step ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a_X95t6zvwo.html
Girl you spoke the truth! I have been rocking mini twists (not too small) for about a month now and I wish I started sooner! Also there are so many other reasons why we need to stay clear of hair extensions. #loveyourhair
Hello 👋🏾 Melly! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Twists just work so much better for me. I only like having hair added to my hair when going on vacation, and even then I don’t keep it in too long. My hair can’t handle it, I’ve learned this the hard way for myself. Extension do work well for others though, so it’s really about finding what works best for your hair. I like wearing mini twists as well (not too small like you said). Thank you for watching and commenting!
Sis, I screamed when you said "scalp buckling" 😭 it's so true though! I remember being in high school and having a bad braider who didn't care about the health of the hair. Went once and never went back. This video is filled with gems!
Girl I saw those white bumps on my head. My stylist before doing my hair said.."oh wow your hair is so long and thick." After that she said she wants to do a "new hairstyle" i will love. 🤦🏾♀️ What she did to me took me 3 weeks to recover from the itchiness and I swear. And she knows I hate hate tight styles. I told her not to do them tight and she listen to me. But child.. there was one area on my head. Just one little small area that she braided hella tight. I felt it and told her take that braid out now. I am not paying for this if they are tight. She did exactly as I said but still braided it tight. 🤦🏾♀️ she said oh don't worry your scalp sensitive today. And my friend was like 👀. So I got tired and said..."it's fine. It's just one tiny spot." Boy was I soo wrong. That one tiny spot 😭 after going home and spraying my hair with water got a few tiny bumps. I panic and used oils. Massage, massage, massage. That one small tiny area showed a lot of white bumps. My family said..."Jessica that spot there, where all that white bumps is...Girl you waited too long. If you take that one braid out. You will see hair coming out." My mom examined my hair and said why did she braided the starting so tight. Girl after a week... that area that was tight I felt the hair kind of loosen at that starting point. I said to myself..."My braids don't feel slack until a month. Why this feel so?" After continuously touching my hair and wondering why the spot where the white bumps are....why this one feels loose. I said damn 😑 I think the loose braided area I'm feeling is the area I lost hair. Sorry if this is kinda hard to read. Lol my English isn't so well. 😁
Hello 👋🏾 Jessica! I am so sorry your braider braided that spot too tight 😞! I’ve had that happen to me, and I absolutely hate tight braids. We have ti be careful and protect our hair. Too many people are losing their hair because of tight braids etc. one time I went on vacation and got my hair braided. Started to see white bumps on my hair line 😳! I said oh no and took those braids out during my vacation!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hello 👋🏾! Yes I like flat twists as well (I’m just not good at that yet 😞). I’m glad your hair loves that style. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I am three years in on my natural hair journey and my favorite is also twists🙂!! My hair is growing so fast now and I rarely use heat. Haven't had a perm in over 25 years and loving it
Hello hello 👋🏾!! So glad to hear twists are really helping along your natural hair journey!! Staying away from high heat defines helps as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Hello 👋🏾! Thank you 🙏🏾. Yes simple is always better. I’ve learned that after ruining my hair by doing theeeeee most 😂. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Im 29 years old and i started two strand twist. When i say my hair GREW!!! Chile' you cant tell me nothing lol. I even do my daughter' hair and she even had major growth
Hello hello 👋🏾!! So glad to hair twists helped grow your hair!! They really are effective and best of all don’t put west and tear on your hair. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! I wholeheartedly agree. I've been natural for over 20 yrs and still struggle with length retention despite pampering my hair. I had to think back to when my hair was its healthiest and longest and it was when I wore two-strand twists consistently. Not only do two-strand twists help to retain moisture but it also stretches out the hair which, for me, helps prevent tangling and knots. It also is a good way for me to trim my ends. I also leave my hair uncovered while in the shower, allowing it to benefit from the moisture and I'm not worried about messing up my style. I love twists.
Hello 👋🏾 Judene! Thank you for watching and commenting! I am glad twists have worked out well for you. It really is my overall preferred style out of all others. Oh I like the idea of letting the twists absorb the moisture from the steam when showering. I’ll have to give that a try.
Love love loveeeee this video! I was curious on how you retained length and come to find out … you did EXACTLY what I did . I had a traumatic hair chop 😭😭😭 and told myself “truly focus on your hair a full year” .. meaning twist outs only, seldom wash and gos, and nooo heat . My hair was at my neck last December . I straightened it this October and my hair back to armpit length . Do those weekly/bi weekly washes (massage your scalp while washing) and keep your scalp moisturized ladies . I proved that hair will grow !
Hello 👋🏾 Sasha!! So glad you enjoyed the video and that you could relate to the twists! Yes my chop was traumatic as well 😭. It made me go into focus mode. Yes the hair will grow if we take care of it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
This was me about 2 years ago. Thankfully I didn’t have to cut my hair too short. My hair is back waist length and I just leave it alone. I wear my wigs and that’s it 😂. The twist work. I wear them every time I wash my hair. You did a great job.
Hi 👋🏾! Girl so you know the struggle of the hair breakage 😩😩😩. I was so mad at myself lmaooo. Yes the best thing is just leaving it alone and letting it grow. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I do long term protective styling for 4 weeks, doing 2 strand twists with my own hair. Though I wash once a month, I still moisturize it daily, if not than every other day. And keep my ends tucked away. Since I’ve been working out more and changed to a healthier diet, in addition to the 2 strand twists and scalp massages, I notice my hair seems to be retaining more length the last 4 months. I’ve had a lot of setbacks as well. But my goal for the new year is to take better care of myself overall. Absolutely 2 strand twists for the win. Thank you so much for sharing this video and Happy New Year 2024! 😊🎊
I’ve been rocking twists since my daughter was born 6 months ago because I can wear them for 2 weeks and not worry about it. Wasn’t thinking I was doing anything for length😂 This is so motivating lol
Hi 👋🏾 Symonne! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊 on the birth of your daughter! I love the fact that I can wear mine for 2 weeks as well. Yes it’s great for length retention. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I’m growing my hair out via twists and I’m enjoying the process. It feels liberating to not have to style so often and I’m very happy with how healthy my hair is looking. I definitely feel like I’m on the right track. Great video!
This was very informative 👏🏾 I do agree that twist style and constantly moisturizing/adding oil will certainly make hair grow without issue. Less tension and low easy routine.
I have worn twists for 4 weeks at a time but my hair almost turned into dreads lol. I had 12 twists. My hair is fine/ high porosity. Now I wear 4-5 cornrows under a wig for 2 months and I'm super gentle on the takedown. I add water and a lubricant and I finger detangle and maybe use a brush once at the end. Not touching my hair and finger detangling have helped me retain so much length. Hair is about bsl 😊 woo!
Hello 👋🏾 Lenci! I’m glad you found what works for you. I only keep my twists in for about 10 days/2 weeks max to avoid the hair knotting up. Any longer than that and I have just too much shed hair and tangles to contend with. Congratulations on the bsl length! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Mini twists.. 4 months in...touch-ups every 6to8 weeks.... through 1/23. So easy to keep protected from the heat during the summer (wigs,cap or scarves)
Shalawam! You hit it right on the nail. And also a lot of the weaves we put in our hair from those other nations sacrifice their hair in the name of their gods, which we should stay away from. As well as the synthetic hair has a lot of chemicals that damage our hair. There's also a spiritual aspect why our hair doesn't grow or why we struggle with it so much. The best protective styles for our hair is using our own hair and nothing else. Our hair is so versatile it is supreme, we've just been conditioned from birth to do things we do today. Amazing and detailed video sis!! #APTTMH
100% agree! Doing a protective style is great but it is better if you are using just your hair. I have been doing twists ever since the pandemic has started (except when I go somewhere, wash day or recording a video). And it has helped maintain my hair. And luckily I can braid hair as I have had two incidents where I went to a braider they braided too tight at my edges. I got home and took them down in the front and redid them.
Oh wow sorry the braided did your hair too tight! Glad you took them down and were able to redo them yourself! That’s a skill k really want to learn for myself. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
you're a godsend! so many people dance around the topic, like sis! TELL US THE STYLE and stop with this annoying sponsor ads! but you delivered!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
Hi 👋🏾!! LOL! I definitely know what you’re talking about. The sponsorships can be annoying, but I get it, it’s how many people make any kind of money up on here 😭. Im glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment on my video as well.
I love the idea of just focusing on one or two styles while growing hair out. A 2-strand twist can be one of those for me, particularly for rainy weeks, but I need to blowout my hair and then put in 4 chunky braids every other time. Otherwise I get too much breakage at the ends from shrinkage and knotting. My hair was trained in dreadlocks for decades, and just wants to go back to that. My Revair is my best styling device. But weeks where it rains every day, even keeping in stretched braids will have me untangling knots on wash day.
Hello 👋🏾! I say do whatever routine works for you. Seems like you already have a good routine going. I love my Revair too! Makes stream high my hair so quick and easy. Thank you for watching and commenting!
You are sooooooo right! I love my wash n go hair style... However I have fallen in love with twists! Thank you so much for sharing the BEST protective hair style to grow natural hair. Never leave a protect hair style beyond 1 month at least for me. I definitely enjoyed your video!
Hello 👋🏾! Yes I used to do wash and goes but my I hated my hair being wet in the mornings when I refresh it (still trying to master that style). Twists are just so much easier for me to do and I do them well so that helps a lot. I learned the hard way never to leave a protective style in longer than a month. That breakage had me shook! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hair shed and thinned & broke like crazy when I wore crochet locks & Senegalese twists. My braids were too tight, the added hair was too heavy. My scalp is sensitive. So this video is on time.
Hi 👋🏾 Nia! I had to Dian second big chop and cut of 12 inches of hair because crochets broke my hair off 😭!! From that day I learned to keep it tension free and simple. I do get knotless braids but I get them done very loose at the root because I ain’t playing games with my hair anymore. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Been wearing only twists for the past 3 months and my course mates think it's because I'm broke😂😂 Though sometimes I throw a wig on my twists and it sits pretty cool Have seen amazing length retention and my edges be giving me sweet growth😍😘
Hello 👋🏾! Trust me I understand. I wore my twists for a whole year cause I was dedicated to growing my hair back after my big chop. It’ll be all worth it. Glad your edges and your length retention are going so well! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Yes you are so right do your hair in one style dont keep messing with it. People are not going to do your hair way you want it. I learned do my own hair.
Hello 👋🏾 Nikie! Thank you for watching and commenting! I have found sticking to a faithful style really has helped me in the grow back phase after my big chop. I noticed the note I trying to “switch up” my styles, the more my hair didn’t like it and I was experiencing a lot of breakage.
I am back on my natural hair journey! Twist and headband wigs for me in 2023! I will probably get knotless once this year. This video gave me life! knowing I am back on the right path. Twist-outs were by only style when I first started my healthy hair journey in 2016.
Hello hello 👋🏾! So glad you enjoyed the video and got something out of it. I get knotless for vacation but only keep them in for a few weeks and go right back to wearing twists/twist outs. Wishing you the best on your journey this year!!
I have to agree. I have been doing twists for about 6 months and twist-outs. I’m about an inch from waist length now. I’m about to get box braids for a month and then back to twists for the win. ❤️
Hello 👋🏾 AJ! Leaving hair alone in easy to maintain styles really is key. Unused to over manipulate my hair soooo much and learned my lesson. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Currently wearing twists rn 😁 I used to do them a lot in high school, because I didn't like the way braids looked in my hair after the big chop. And they really did help with the growth. You not lying! 😂 Now I switch between braids n twists, but only using my own hair. With extensions I could always feel the weight, whether done by a professional or myself, and my scalp isn't even sensitive. Currently I'm growing my edges back, I was learning to cornrow, thought I did them loose enough, and took them down disappointed. Oh, well! This isn't the first time my edges said look for me 👀 It definitely is a learning experience, I'll make sure to not do it again 😅
Hello 👋🏾 Sonté! Thank you for sharing your experience! Yeah after I big chopped I didn’t like the way the braids looked on me either so twists were what I leaned to. I don’t know how to cornrow but I am trying to learn to do some different styles (even though it just end up saying lemme just go ahead and twist my hair 😂). Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wigs look crazy on me. My sister has been doing my hair since I could remember, every time she installs a wig on me she says “why’re you doing this? I thought I told you your forehead can’t do it 😅 …. My hair has a hard time being in extensions but I’m not comfortable with my current length. :( I think headband wigs have been breaking the nape of my hair off.
Yeah I cannot do the wigs either! I said it must be something about my head shade cause they always look crazy on me too. Yeah you have to be careful with those headbands wigs. They are cute, b it they can be tight and put pressure on the nape of your hair.
I totally agree...I've worn braids my whole life and it wasn't an issue but my daughter ss hair snapped right off with wearing extension hair...and the 2 strands allowed her hair to flourish.
Hello 👋🏾 Lakeia! So glad to hear that style worked well for your hair. I always say less is more when it comes to length retention. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I agree! After my big chop I would slather it in gel and rinse it daily, made my hair extremely dry. Now im straying away from braids/protective styles even though I choose basic minimum styling. Found a great shampoo and conditioner, make my own natural leave in/curl definer, my favorite oils and twist it up for a few days, then untwist close to wash day. Trims when needed. Thriving!
Scalp buckling is so true.just took out some hair extensions I had on for 2 months and seriously my edges are gone.i mean this hairstyle damaged my hair.just start with 2 strands twist to get my edges back.thanks sis for this video,its helpful
Hello 👋🏾 Efyarh! I’m so sorry to hear a style damaged your hair and edges 😞. I always advocate for simple styles when growing hair back. The maintenance is low and you can control the level of tension better. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Tell me all about it 😭 lol 😂!!! But it is soooooo wroth it! At this point in my life I invest the time on the front end to be able to enjoy the style for a while on the back end. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Hey lady! Great tips and soooo true. Less is better when it comes to hair growth. I’ve noticed when I leave my hair alone it grows faster. I have been wanting to get braids put in for the longest but I’m nervous about breakage.
Hi 👋🏾 beautiful! Thank you so much for stopping by!!! Yes less is more when it comes to natural hair growth and Keneth retention overall in my experience. You can definitely get braids, I’m not saying their inherently bad, just be careful of how tight they are done and how long you keep them in. I got braids for when I went to vacation (knotless braids) and they were great for the water park! After 4 weeks I took them out and my hair was fine. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
PREACH, Sis-Star! Everything you say is music to my ears. I decided to stop all the braids, refollowing a brilliant Trichologist, here, in the UK, who has 4c high porosity hair, similar to mine. I am going to follow her advice. I am going to be patient. Choose and buy the best products for MY hair type, and though I'm not very skilled (or particularly patient 😤🥱), with braiding, I'm going to start it, practice, restart, until I am happy. Due to old health, lifelong medications, personal stress, finances etc. I no longer want to sit in my hair stylist, buying and getting installed false hair. Nothing wrong with it for others, but I know I can be lazy, and as you pointed out, not being able to get the necessary moisture to penetrate my hair, due to the installed synthetic hair braids, I am removing said synthetic hair braids, to find dry, tangled, lack lustre natural hair underneath. And I'm paying handsomely for that state? No more. Bless you for imparting us sistas with such valuable knowledge. Your hair and makeup are da bomb, by the way! 👌🏾
Hello hello 👋🏾! Peace and blessings to you on your hair journey. Thank you for the compliments on my hair and makeup. I am glad you found this video helpful and insightful in some way. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
I knew I was in for a treat the moment I began watching your post. This is totally the best way to grow your natural hair. All that you mentioned that happened to your hair when wearing braids I experienced the same. And since I have been doing the 2 strand twist style.Thanks so much for sharing your experience many of us can a test to this that it really works.
Hello hello 👋🏾! Thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad your journey has been going well and you’ve been experiencing growth. Simplicity is always the best way to retain length in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Facts because all I ever do is my wash day routine then twist my hair, leave it in for a week, take it out do low manipulation styles for a week's them wash it again. My hair has been flourishing for the past few years by doing very little to my hair.
Yesss! Simple and low manipulation is the way to go. I always tell people that the less you put your hands in your hair the better it will be because breakage is very real. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I know that twists are the way to go but I've never been a huge fan of wearing them 😩 I feel like the ppl who really like them have really thick hair so it looks "better" (which is subjective, of course.)
Nelia does mini twist to make her hair looking thicker cause she was thinner natural hair and that works well. I’m going to do another video highlighting other easy to do styles that just aren’t twists. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I legit just took my twist out they almost locked 😭😭 but yes my twist on top of proper hair care I’ve seen growth I struggle doing my natural hair so twist is definitely my go to, it’s easy and you don’t have to touch your hair so much
Hello 👋🏾! Yes just be careful with leaving them in too long cause it can start to loc. I’m glad you’ve been seeing growth and length retention from it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Super! Perfect. Das ist die Wahrheit, wir machen unsere Haare kaputt mit dem einflechten, seit dem ich meine Haare Natur behandelt ist es auch länger gewachsen. And then she explained something with the front part, I think this is where we all realize when it’s too late to an extent that some look as if the forehead was 🔥. God have mercy on us 😂 I was also one of them but now my hair is growing back very slowly. God bless you ❤.
This was really helpful for me because I'm trying to grow my natural hair and I did consider braids which I haven't worn in years. I do wear wigs which I LOVE LOVE and want to take a break from.
Thank you! You just helped me. I was going back-and-forth of whether I should get braids again, but I had similar experiences that you were talking about so thank you and I will twist my hair today. lol.
Love your background! My go to style is a wash and go. I love twists, but I have low density thin hair so twists show too much scalp. I find the wash and go gives me a fuller look. Great content on protective styles.👍
Hello 👋🏾 Brigette! Totally understandable. I always say do what works best for your hair and how you prefer to style it. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Glad you like the background and the video.
I'm going back to 2 Strad twits. I'm going to wash and straighten next wash day just to trim then next wash day back to the 2 stand twits. Here for growing and retaining length. I agree with very thing you said. The only protective style I might wear is a wig and no glue or anything like that have it on for a few hours and then take it off. I'm in a wash and go right now but twists will be my go to from now on the last time I got braids bald spot on my edges that was 2 years ago never got braids since. But my braider was a tight braider. Thank god my hair has grown back. Simplicity is better.
Hello 👋🏾! I agree that simple is better. I really try not to over complicate natural hair cause it just isn’t needed. Wigs are fine as well, I just could never find one that looked right one me 🤣. Oh I’m sorry to here the braids gave you bald spots on your edges 😔! I try to stay away from tight braids at all costs. I do get knotless occasionally and even then I tell the braider I’m tender headed and she does them very light cause I want my edges. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I love the two strand twists when I was a loose natural and I do this or chunky braids on my daughter and when we are doing something where her hair needs to be loose I do a simple braid out. By the end of the day it’s braided or twisted back up, I also keep her ends as protected as possible. Low manipulation is key. Keeping hands out of hair.
Yes keeping hands out of hair and low manipulation. I do the same with my daughters hair. Either twist or chunky braids and if she wears it out it’s a braid out and it gets braided right back up at the end of the night. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hello 👋🏾 Malaz! Twists are just it for me. I love the them cause you can wear them with the twists in or out and the maintenance for twists is low. Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is so true! I did twists for a while some time back in 2020/2021 and my hair grew a lot. One week twists one week twists out, if it lasts more it’d be longer. I cut it not long ago and regret it, so now I’m back to doing twists to grow it again :)
Hello 👋🏾! Love your profile pic! Is that Armin from AOT? Yes twist’s definitely is the style to lean on when trying to retain length and keep that growth. Don’t worry, it’ll grow back. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Watched this video in early 2019 Started my journey asap with flat twist (first I tried regular twist but I hv too thich hair it took more time). I do flat twist every washday (Tuesday) let it in that style until saturday/sunday, wear my hair down when going to church. Oiling my scalp on Monday & wash it on Tuesday. I keep the routine for 4 years now, growing my hair from chin lenght to almost waist lenght. I was looking for some videos on taking care of ends cz mine getting drier as it gets longer & bump into this video again. Thank you so much for your help..
Hello hello 👋🏾! So glad to hear your hair journey is successful! Glad you found a style that works best for you. For the ends I’d recommend using leave in conditioner on the ends to add moisture. Also making sure you’re getting trims helps prevent the ends from being dry too. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I knew you were the one to watch when you said"I took it back to basics"!. I just finished telling my friend that about growing my hair back. Thankfully I can braid my own hair and mainly do it for the summer/vacations. I also redo my braids every 2 weeks when I do have them in, so my hair gets washed, deep conditioned and rested.
Hello hello 👋🏾! Yes the basics really work! My reset helped me gain some much length retention. I wish I could braid my hair like that, it would be so perfect for summer like you said. You have a great routine going on. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Yep, thats my go to. I keep my hair in twist. I take it down for maybe 1 or 2 days and then back up after wash day. I have stretched my wash day out to 2 wks.
Hello 👋🏾 Tonia! Glad to hear twists are working out great for you too! That’s how I tend to do it as well. I wear it in a twist out a few times then twist it back up at night as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I think I am going to keep my hair in knotless braids for a whole year. I will get them redone every 4 weeks, but I find it so easy to maintain my hair and it always grows when in a protective style. And before I put the braids in I have in now, I got a wash and set and got heat damage. So my curls don't even curl the same anymore. It's depressing.
You’ll recover from the heat damage. It happens to the best of us. Knotless braids are a win when the braider doesn’t do them tight. You’re keeping them in for the right amount to of time so those should be a good for you. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
This is one of the most helpful, to the point, and simple videos I have seen about natural hair and growth. My biggest weakness is definitely protective styles that I can do myself and not look crazy. I will have to try this
Hello hello! Glad you found the video helpful. People try to overcomplicate it, but really is simple (unless you have a medical condition related to hair). Thank you for watching and commenting!
Girl you are so right on the money . I started the journey and girl and did my first twist out . I got so much commendations. So my favorite small braid and I just started twist think I will do this for a while quick and easy
If you’re going through a lot of stress that can definitely cause hair breakage and excessive shedding. My advice would be to check your vitamin and mineral intake and even get blood work done to make sure your hormone levels etc are good.
Another tip for the girls that have to have long flowing hair everyday do the 2 strand twist wear a cap a get a wig that is not glued that way you can easily take it off everyday but your own hair is still being left alone
Hello 👋🏾 Farhia! Thank you for the compliments 😊. Simple is always neat in my book. I learned my lesson after doing way too much with my hair. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
I also have been doing twists I started two months ago and I do either every week or every two weeks deep condition and put it back into twists I will see how it goes 💕
God bless you and thank you for this video! You spoke nothing but the truth because I did notice this when I would twist my hair. Definitely doing this again with consistency.
I would honestly keep my hair in twists majority of the time if my hair was shoulder length in twists. Even if I start on blown out hair, my twists shrink up to my ears and look childish.
Hi 👋🏾 Olivia! Trust me I understand. When I did the second big chop my hair came up to my ears 😖😖! I stuck with it and just wore it as a twist out during the day and then back in the twist at night to balance it out. What do you use to style your twist after you blow your hair out? Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@CammyjOfficial I make sure to avoid products with water to avoid reversion. I'd use a leave in and heat protectant prior to blow drying. After, I use grease or butter to twist it up.
Your hair must attack the moisture in the atmosphere. Good news is you’ll never have to worry about hair being too dry. I’m going to look for some elongating twist products this week and let you know if I find some good ones.
@@CammyjOfficial Wow!! That's something I never thought about! Now I have to look at the ingredients in what I've been using. Thank you for that perspective. I look forward to any suggestions you may have!
Twists are the truth! I’m a sophomore in college now but I did my big chop (collarbone length) and started my natural hair journey my sophomore year of high school. I never knew how to actually do my natural hair before then since I used to get relaxers and wear my hair straight 24/7. Two strand twists was the very first hairstyle I did and I loved it. Now my hair is bra strap length and I literally just got done setting my twists under the dryer! 😂
Hi 👋🏾 Mariah!!! Yesss to twists 👏🏾. It’s is so easy and works so well for me as well. I just got my sit under dryer a few weeks ago so I will now be drying faster and getting fluffier twists due to that. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hello 👋🏾! I understand. I had a crochet style tear so much of my hair out. After that I said protective styles with my hair ONLY. Thank you for watching and taking bff the time to leave a comment!
Hello 👋🏾 Trin! Thank you for the compliment 😊. I am lucky that my hair still looks full when in twists, but I know people with thinner hair who may add hair in to give more fullness. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@CammyjOfficial You're welcome 😊. I love twists, but after wearing braids off & on for over a decade, I experienced thinning around my hairline😪. Trying to figure out a way to lightly add hair to my natural twist, but just can't risk further damage. Haven't worn braids in years now.
I believe that you are an answer to prayer. I have just recently started my natural hair journey, which is something that I never thought that I would do. I didn't know what to do with my hair now that I am on this journey. My hair is very thick and it just seemed to be getting tangled too easily. Thank you for your suggestion. I will do that right now. Also, your makeup is bomb!!! P.S. I have just subscribed to your channel.
Hello 👋🏾 hello 👋🏾! Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m so happy to help however I can. Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 on starting your natural hair journey!! Thank you for the makeup compliments 😊 and thank you for subscribing!!! Welcome to the Cam-fam! So glad to have you here.
Thank you for the 1yr twist only tip. 💕 I said I was going to do twist only this spring & seek to maximize growth with the 💦. Now I plan to do twist only all year. Nothing tops a good twist out & yours looks Fabulous....
Hello hello 👋🏾! It was definitely a journey for me, but I wanted to really focus on length retention. I have nothing against other styles, but this is what worked best for me. Thank you for the compliments on my hair. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Lol sis ! You said everybody are losing them & you not trying to be one of those people ! Girl I’m with you! It’s a lot of us out here losing edges! & girl I’ve been thinking about wigs for a while but I really think I also do not have the head for it 😂
LOL! I promise you that every time I put on a wig I look STRANGEEEE 😂😂😂!!! Can’t do it! Yes I need to have edges. I’ve seen so many videos of young back women having to get hair transplants because braids and other tight styles stole their edges clean off. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!
Yes! I alternate between plaits and twists. My hair is bra length in my longest layer so them plaits are getting to take too long lol so I might transition to only twists soon.
Hello 👋🏾! I like twists also because they don’t take as long to do as plaits like you mentioned. Alternative between those is definitely a good way to not get bored with just doing one style. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I would love to try this out long term but I have a super corporate sales job where we have to dress up for meetings and traveling twice a month, I’ve always felt like “natural” styles don’t fit the corporate mold that they want you to.. but I’m about to say screw it, my hair comes first 😅.. maybe I’ll just wear a wig when I travel.. this video was very informative and motivating
Hello 👋🏾! Do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I’ve worn my hair natural for 10 years now in my corporate jobs without issue. They just had to accept that this is black hair and as a black woman ima wear it out. Wigs are also a good alternative as long as you allow your hair time to breathe. You can also wear your hair in a twist out during the day and just twist it at night to protect the style. Thank you for watching and commenting! Im glad this video was helpful to you!
I left my protective crochet style in easy too long listening to somebody else project their lack onto me saying you can get some more out of that it still look good. You don’t need to take that out😟😏😏😏😥😥🥴🥴🥴 Hair was DRY, MATTED, Shedding and breakage like crazy. 😭 Neva again.
me too. my mom convinced me to get my hair braided and wait another week to take my hair down which turned into 3 weeks. my hair was braided too tight which caused sooo much shedding , my edges came out and my hair was so dry and tangled.
Thank you so much for reaffirming how gentle your must be with your natural hair. Just to add I heard extensions themselves dry out your hair. I heard this the other day xxx
Hello 👋🏾! You’re welcome ☺️. I truly believe in treating our hair with kindness. Some extensions can dry out the hair, depending on the type of hair it is as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hello 👋🏾! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I always wear a satin bonnet at night or use a satin pillowcase. This helps maintain the style and keep it looking fresh the next day. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
I love watching your videos and I’m only 3 years in my natural hair journey and just now learning how to leave my hair alone 😄 but lately I have been only doing twist and knotless braid but I only leave them up for 3 weeks. So I’m going to try only doing twist and see what happens because I would love to have healthy long hair and Thank you for the tips
Hello 👋🏾! I am so happy to hear you love ❤️ watching my videos. That means a lot to me! I did a 1 year twist challenge. You can start by doing a 90 day challenge for a 6 month challenge to start out smaller. Leaving your hair alone is really the best kept secret to natural hair length retention. When I was doing a whole bunch of styles week after week my hair was suffering BIG TIME. That’s why I had to show that breakage picture cause my hair had had enough 😂! She was sick of me flipping and flopping with these styles. Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
