Why Your Natural Hair Doesn’t Seem To Be Growing: Tips to Prevent Breakage" 

@@tiamariadiaz9834 thank you! ❤️ We’d love to have you in the studio whenever you’re in South Florida!

@@staceyg.4320 glad to help! Thank you for watching!

Check your vitamin minerals. I was having hormonal issues, coupled with iron deficiency. I added Biotin, Folic Acid, Iron by MegaFoods brands (veggie base to avoid constipation), used Olaplex #0 & #3 with a deep conditioner under my home dryer as needed, sprits/watered my hair more like a plant and that has turned everything around. Most importantly, get your hormones back on track. EDIT: MSM too! internal & external but drink WATER!!💦💦

@@itsjustMrsH thank you, and yes! I’ll upload a video with details.

@@antoinettemariafit love it. 👌🏽💯 Great stretching option.

Are you keeping it moisturized? When I started moisturizing my hair more and not letting it get so dried out, it stopped splitting. You can watch African Hair God’s videos as well as Rosie Amelia and Shelly V. They all experienced those issues( mid-shaft splits) too! I wish you well on your journey!

I have midshaft splits. Here's why 1. Stress 2. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies 3. Ultra-fine strands- Protective styles longer than 14 days cause microfractures in my hair from the friction and/or the extension hair strand is thicker than my hair strand. I also need to use a tool to detangle because finger detangling does not get all of the shed hair out for me! The left behind shed hair wraps around the other hair causing knots. 4. I'm a thalassemia carrier so I have abnormal blood cells. 5. Sensitive scalp What helps- Moisturising daily; Weekly Shampoo ( 10 minutes) and deep condition (30 mins)with heat. No raw oils or butters- there are oils and butters in my leave-in conditioner cream. Nothing on my scalp except the water-based prescription from my trichologists and shampoo. Hair vitamins. Aphoghee and Olaplex. Twists, Flat twists, finger coils, 2 or 3 French braids with no added hair worn only for 7-14 days before taking down. Straight trims every 12-16 weeks. I dust my ends every 6 weeks. I detangle on damp hair ( not wet or dry) with a leave-in detangler and leave-in conditioner. in 20 sections. I use my wide-toothed seamless comb first and then my medium-toothed seamless comb. Once every 6 weeks, I use my seamless fine-toothed comb and then my wet tangle teezer for fine and fragile hair. I rarely use stylers- mousse, gel,jelly, edge control,curl definer, spritz, twisting creams, hair holding spray, serums, shine spray.

@@Maria-lp3ryhow often do you moisturise your hair?

@@marleyhill34Thank You! I’m taking notes.

@@funmi5653I shampoo my hair once a week. I moisturize 2-3 times a week. When I wear my hair out, I 0:04 moisturize when I return home because the moisture in my hair is gone. Please read @marleyhill34 comments. They are so detailed!

I would also like to know about cornrows (without extensions). Hope she reads the comments and makes a video on how to retain length using cornrows as a protective style.

@@veronagraham6816 styles that allow you to still have access to the hair, to ‘moisturize + seal’ are ideal. Cornrows are fine as long as they’re not tight, not too heavy, and not left in too long causing the natural hair to become dry + brittle. 💛
