Why is My Hair not Growing With Protective Styles?! | 2 month Tribal Braid Takedown 

LoL

Yasssss. Nothing like water and some biotin too!

Okay! It's growing. Most of what's she's seeing (puffy roots) is from sweating anyways

No, it’s growing, but it’s also breaking faster then it’s growing.

Hell no is you don’t have enough vitamins your hair won’t grow , hence the poor kids and Africa and ask and hell even american all have very short hair because it’s the last thing to get nutrients

Thank you

Where are you located?

Facts same I 100% agree too

Do you braid your hair often like how regular you do it

@@cece3547 yes I usually where braids for 6-8 weeks and take a break for 6-8 weeks and then go back into braids again.

That’s a good tip

Thanks

That’s my daily or as needed moisturizer combo when I have braids. When I take them down my hair is soooo soft and manageable. I also don’t lose as much hair when I moisturize my braids vs when I don’t.

I was just thinking that this weekend.. Never thought I could manage my own hair. We have so many hair products to choose from now. And RU-vid helps so much. Never heard of low/high [p] hair ..[ I'm high] RU-vid is like my family. I've learned so much ✌👍❤👄💯

Facts💯💯

They just know how to do hair they don’t know how to work with the natural hair

I do something similar !

I hate gel. Keep that stuff away from my hair

Same. I ended up detangling for 14 hours. Never again.

I'd be in the shower for at least 2 hours

I do... I do a ACV wash, then seriously moisturize about a couple days before taking out, making sure my hair feels freshly oiled When I take it out I finger detangle as I take each braid out I spray watered down conditioner in it Then shampoo with ACV/baking soda, then dandruff shampoo then REDKIN all soft shampoo and conditioner in sections. I finger detangle while washing When I condition I use a denman brush to detangle while conditioner sits in... I never detangle while my hair is dry My natural hair is 18 inches long

Ambunu and fresh aloe vera is bomb get you some sis. Just make sure you strain the aloe first. You could find Ambunu on line. This combo is

I know they say our hair is weakest when wet, but I also heard that you should never detangle dry natural hair because it will cause breakage. Which one is correct?

Take a mirror and your brushes into the shower it helps me and part and section

Me too

im on it.

I noticed the same thing with my hair

I realised that braids are only protective from overstyling but wigs are the true protective style

@@MissRawrzilla yeah my hair grows/retains some length with braids but really gets long with wigs. Years of braids kept my hair around shoulder length. With wigs my hair got to be more like mid back length.

That’s crazy I just started doing the same thing my hair feels so much more relaxed and my scalp feels better too I was doing so much pulling with sew ins I couldn’t take it anymore 😩

@Bree Yah the one thing I can say them single twist and regular scalp braids and box braids will do the trick I’ve always thought being black that our hair is just rough and that’s not the case we have to love our hair and nourish it and take care of it like we do ourselves our hair is a lot more fragile then most so we have to be way more careful with everything

Well said!

Yes! Even when braided I wash my hair! My natural hair is down my back so I know this is important!

@@gh1990. how often?

never put water on matted hair. oil only.

no girlie hair is weakest when it's wet so you'll have more breakage. The natural hair community lied to us.

@@faithyayi that is not true and when she said it i said huh? Your hair is the weakest when its dry and brittle!!! You never detangle your hair dry

@@bleuhernandez7941 if she sprayed water, it could’ve matted up at the root where there is build up & she’s combing gently with a wide tooth comb.

Ok so imma try to break it down a little bc I want everyone to have long, HEALTHY hair... When hair is wet the hydrogen bonds are temporarily broken. This is why it seems like it’s easier to detangle and seems to be the right thing to do but hydrogen bonds love other hydrogen bonds so when it’s wet the bonds are paralyzed. It’s easier to manipulate anything while it’s paralyzed. Mechanical damage happens when you over-manipulate the hair while the hydrogen bonds are broken. Contrary to popular belief hair is strongest when it’s dry. Mechanical damage is what causes the hair to become brittle when it’s dry. This type of damage is more common than heat damage in the natural hair community. Salt bonds make up almost one third of the hairs strength and are broken by solutions with different phs. Whether a product is too alkaline or too acidic, it has the potential to break the salt bonds. I just thought I’d add that in for those who swear by acv, rice water, etc. While I’m at it ig I’ll add that curly/coily/kinky hair is only to be trimmed when the hair is dry. The cuticle swells when it’s wet. This is why people with straighter hair only get trims on wet hair. I’m no scientist and I’m not licensed to do hair but I like facts. I hear this from so many frustrated professionals bc so many naturals rather believe lies than accept the truth. Look into it like I did, stick to natural products, keep up with your trims and learn proper techniques and your hair will flourish :)

I was thinking the same thing. I could never detangle dry especially after a month old hairstyle 🤯 I have to finger detangle with conditioner before putting any water on my hair and then I’ll rinse it out before I wash. I found it’s the best way to limit excess shedding and tangles. Everyone is different for sure!

When she's saying dry, she's not meaning literally dry, meaning with a oil that's specifically good for detangling

@@sianmoore1129 my hair would still be dry with an oil. The oil will just sit on top and not help me detangle anything. I have to use a creamy conditioner or my hair gets tangled. It all depends on the person

Yes! I spray my hair with a mixture of aloe Vera juice, oil, and water as I got through and take it down!

Same here...

I make sure if I have box braids in that I’m washing my hair (box braids) every 3 weeks, oiling my scalp, spraying it with leave in. And being super consistent with my oils. Jamaican Black castor oil is my go to for growth. If I have to redo a few braids then I do that as well.

thank you. what is your hair type please?

they need to be taken down at that point. all of those interlock and twisting mehods will cause more build up and potential locking.

Right...when I use fake hair I have so much breakage but, when I twist my real hair I can see the progress!

Yup it's not for everyone.

I agree since i uped my water game n exercise encorprating more fruits n veg in my meals iv seen more growth

Factss

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Dry detangling doesn’t work well for me or my kids.

Yes. I like this youtuber, but she's tripping on this one

ill have to try that.

That actually sounds like a great idea. I detangle with oil.

PERFECT COMBO

I do the same and alternate by soaking the hair with Aloe vera straight from the plant!

I wasn't speaking just to her , I was speaking in general. her hair has actually grown a lot.
