Thank you ♡

@@victoriasvibesss Your welcome 😍😍😍

Well, I sort of had to start fresh again. The old parts were not parting lol. Thank you though! I'm happy it's growing out, I've been trying to follow my regimen closely with moisturizing, oiling, and aruyeduc teas. Do you have braids rn as well?

Mhmm, they sure will! Thanks!

thank you ❤

We love a good head wrap! One of the reasons I started getting my hands on caps and bandanas was for days like these. 👌🏽

Absolutely love that for you! Thanks for watching! ♡

I like the way you worded that about your strands having a better chance of less breakage. That is so true! I can feel when my strands are strengthened by herbs. Yea, I’m realizing ayurveda is key. I'd love to start gently making it part of my routine, especially the powders! Will keep y’all posted for sure. Thanks for sharing and watching! 😊

I hear you, professional braiders often don’t consider the health of your hair and ends, so good for you! That’s a real sacrifice with the time investment. Glad you have a few styles up your sleeve. Thanks for watching!

You're so welcome! Glad you’re inspired! Having someone do your hair initially and then re-braiding it yourself is an amazing idea! And, I hear you when it comes to your twists, lol. I talk more about this in my “How Not to Loc Knotless Braids” video. I might even do a knotless braids tutorial one for these days (with length retention in mind). Thanks for watching! ♡♡ ua-cam.com/video/RptQXWJwkzk/v-deo.htmlsi=PUiKO0dVghNXIiKo

@@victoriasvibesss yes i would love a tutorial! I work from home this month so i have no excuse . I would do long twist but i just have a feeling im causing more breakage than i would with braids . I’ll check out the loc video

Exactly! & you got this, sis!

Thank you! Glad you loved it!

I'm trying to tell them the secret fr! 🔑 Sis, I don't know if they realize what I just dropped...Y'all heard it from Amy herself-her results speak for themselves. ✨

@@victoriasvibesss no fr ! Idk why we don’t wanna hear that less is more & it be the small seemingly insignificant things that overtime make the BIGGEST difference! You are gold for sharing this 💛 hope others catch on

​@@amytarie.so true! appreciate you 💛

I’m on a length retention journey myself. I’m keeping my protective styles in for 2 months with proper care and maintenance. Whether it be locs or braids 💓

@@lindseyjackson8694 May your hair growth journey be one of many blessings ! 💕

oof, maybe? that's thought-provoking, but don't think it was that deep for me.

Thank you Naida!!!

Girlllll, I appreciate you watching this a second time!! ♡ I had to reupload the first one, not up to my standards 🫣

Love that! Sounds like you're really enjoying your journey with styling and such!

Yup, we have an end goal in mind that makes it worth it. Glad you resonated with this!

Omg! Yes, the braid though! And yes, she's amazing! Hair goals fs. Love her mindset even outside of hair as well.

I used the shine and jam braiding gel.

Ugh, that's the worst. Yea, those buns will get ya when you constantly wear it. I'm glad you made that pivot to protect your hair to reach your goals ♡ And, I know, right, it's like, where would we all be? lol But it's a beautiful journey, and we've come far ❤️ I love the shift that's been happening in the online yt natural movement too lately.

Thank you! Love that for you! ❤

Okay! You've been in the game for a minute! I trim within the same time frame as well. Thanks for watching! ❤

Two things can be true at once: while some may find success with frequent wash-and-go styles, others, particularly those with hair prone to breakage, fine strands, fragility, or type 4b/4c hair, might benefit from protective styling to retain length. This video targets those who are struggling to retain length, experiencing plateaus, and considering alternative methods. Scalp care is indeed important, and everyone should choose what works best for them. Since this video didn’t address washing frequency, it's best not to assume....do what's best for you.

Yes! For now I have some videos you can check out, like my wash & moisture routine video or my 2024 hair challenge video that goes in depth about protective styling for 4 months. I'll make one more specifically for moisturizing knotless braids with extensions, though. Thanks for the video idea and for watching ❤

Lol, right!? Let's keep it pushing. And, love that for you!

Aww, I appreciate your comment! You're living my dream with that long solo braid! haha! Love that for you ♡ I'm glad you resonated with this; I wasn't sure what points would land for people and cut back some to keep it a nice length. I want to create a space where we can unpack these things.

@Jasmine: I love that for you!

@Victoria: You have definitely created a nice community here. Glad to be a part.

You can keep mini brains s in for that long???

​@yone_honey8084 I wear natural mini braids and keep them for 2 months straight. Then re-do them.

We are in the same boat. I too have mini braids and planing to keep it in till December 😅

How do you prevent your hair from locking up together?

@Jdavismoranti I have 4c hair, and mini braids just dont lock that quick. Mini TWISTS lock up fast asf though! Things I do: keep hair moisturized and use products with slip. Moisture and slippery products make the braids less likely to lock(in MY experience), because it makes it easier for the hair strands to glide past each other. Also, shampooing braids at the scalp keep the roots from getting knots. Those knots come from sweat/sebum build-up, so shampooing regularly is key

yasss 💪🏽yea, sounds like realistic time frame to reach your goals, and you know what you're in for! Now that you mention it, nip length is my next goal, too (4 inches away). It'll be so worth it in the end, sis! ♡

I don’t think that’s extreme. If anything I believe you’ll reach that in half the time.

i wanted to do mini-twists, but they unravelled too quickly. changed to 3 strand twists, but it still didn't click. then i ended up doing braids (without extensions) with beads. i can keep these in for like 8 weeks (washing in between obvi) and i feel like even when they get old and slightly messy, the beads still leave them looking nice

yup same here i am also waiting my hair to grow till my waist length... during day time i wear a bun and in night time i braid my hair doesnt matter i am going out or staying in my home. rn my hair is arm pit lenght . i always protect my hair bcoz due to the pollution and the humidity my hair gets frizzy in the end . and dont worry there is nothing shameful about it .

period! ❤️

i was thinking that cause the sew ins are great but this leave out maintenance is not something you can neglect. closures might be my next go to protective style

@@tuffrydaI got a closure sew in installed in march and still have it in!!! Literally the best hair decision I’ve made for a while.

I hear you, those things are important. What styles have you tried?

@@victoriasvibesss I do my own styles a lot, currently I am wearing mid-size twists. My hair is just a fine, fluffy, limp mess after a couple of days. I wear a lot of hats and scarves!😅
