Consistentency is what grows hair
Consistency is da key💯
...And largely genetics, diet, medicinal intake...
@@ladycheyne5607 Now you are right about diet and medicinal usage correct. Genetics everything doesn't work for everyone, it's finding out what works for you.
@@Leenee1771 Genetics actually does play a large part in it *(licensed natural hair stylist)
@@ladycheyne5607 I'm not saying your wrong or you do not know what you are talking about, not here to argue. I know people that have alopecia in their family and found the hair products to grow their hair.
Rule number 1. You have to learn to love your hair, because if you love it, you will treat it kindly.
Thank you. I tell my stylist every single time, 'comb my hair with love'.
I love this, thats facts ! ❤
we almost have the same name 😀
@kamilidaley4319 yeah we do...😁👋🏽
LOVE this!!
The problem isn't always growing your hair out but preventing breakage and keeping your scalp healthy.
Thiss 👏🏼👏🏼💯
And Eating Healthy; Fruits, Vegetables, Drinking Water
Cause it's Mostly internal
@@EmpressAsheInternal for who? It seems like the rules don’t apply evenly for other racial and ethnic groups. I agree that nutrition matters, however. I think the more influential aspect to visible hair growth is retaining moisture.
@@EmpressAsheI’m starting to do more of this diet

As an older person , let me tell you one of the things to growing black hair.. Moisture , moisture , moisture.. Meaning feeding your hair water , if you keep watering a flower doesn't it blossom and grow , so does your hair and also keeping good diet , hopefully eating more dark green veggies..
Also your diet has a part to play with hair growth. As well as mental and physical health.
Absolutely
Hair growth, but what about retention? EVERYONE hair grows!
@Nini-rj7eq you are absolutely right. After a bout of COVID about 30% of my hair has shedded. And it's not growing as fast as pre-menopause.
Yesss, this is so important, emotional health plays a big part, can not be stressed the hell out and expect your hair to grow long. 🫶🏽
❤❤😊
Yes, Black women CAN grow long hair. Your hair is beautiful too
And it's sad that they don't realize it 😢 Educate them!
Yeah I have a large afro and I have alot of haters to 😂
An hispanic women was trolling me and she said even the fro nest on my head is fake😂🤣 She was trying to hurt my feelings so bad, she failed😆 And then proceeded to my inbox after I told her off.
@@kizzyharding6597 Omg girl that's crazy they hate we are better then them 😂
@@kizzyharding6597 Girl our race is haters to they be hating on me hard on me to like I don't understand them 😂
From 1900s until the 1980s,this is what women of color did. Black women grew thier own hair. Thank you for having natural beauty and hair.
I pray we return to our natural hair. The trauma we endure for believing that our hair isn't good enough. Afros were the best thing for our hair. It was healthy and thick.
My mom had very long natural hair that hung past the middle of her back. It was thick but fine and all she really did was leave it alone. She didn’t wash it all the time. She just kept it detangled and braided up. My daughter’s hair is natural and very long and she does the same thing. Mine’s grow but I always cut it because I don’t like to feel it on my neck or my ears 😂 but all those products, heat , chemicals, wigs, weaves, tension, and constant stress on the hair will damage or stagnate its growth. You have to give your hair a break. I used to braid my cousins hair some years ago and she started to lose her edges. I told her she needed to give her hair a break from the tension or she would have no edges. She listened to me, and today she has plenty of edges. Her hair is beautifully thick and full. I could have kept making the money, but she will have suffered some substantial hair loss. I could not do that to her. Happy hair everyone 😊
the thing is, hair is gonna grow whether you like or not. it’s about retaining length & preventing breakage. that is the haaaardest part 😩 i didn’t realize how careful you have to be when detangling & brushing! moisture plays a big role too.
Yesss and I feel like it’s almost impossible for me to not get breakage
@@EsiriE i’m going through the same thing rn. i made the grave mistake of not wearing a bonnet & i didn’t have a satin pillowcase. i sleep wild so a large chunk of hair broke off! never ever doing that again 😭
@@kennfai00 wait, sleeping without a bonnet, should not make your hair break off like that 🧐
@@EsiriE so then what was it??? bc i have no idea what was the culprit & that’s all i can think of!
@@EsiriE like one whole side of my head is shorter than the other 😞 idk what happened
Black people naturally have healthy hair if it is not stressed with chemicals and heat. Her hair is naturally beautiful. 👍🏽
That's Right!
@Oksana Gaudin We use products because the water 💧 in AMERICA damages black people hair. Our hair is more fragile, and we have to put the things in it to feed it like plants. Oh I see, your not black so you will NEVER understand the difference in our hair, unless you learn in cosmetology school.
@@ww1andww2history "black hair" or natural hair has a lot of cultural associations that women and society look down on in some sense. Also, young girls often want to have hair like white girls. Attitudes are changing, but you never see women in professional settings with afros or natural hair nearly as often as women witt wigs or straight hair. Did you ever once see Michelle Obama with her natural hair? Also, adding hair extensions and wigs for different looks is fun and with that, it stresses hair. I truly think there are a lot of nuances still that exists that natural hair is not as valid, and women in the black community perpetuate that with changing their hair, whether they believe it or not personally.
@@mjey1 weird why not natural hair? If white people can keep their hair natural why not blacks? I hope that would change and people can embace what they have naturally
@@ww1andww2history black people can do whatever they want, but it's residual cultural perceptions that trickle down from the past and affect people's public decisions, and therefore norms are maintained. There's deep history and pain on black hair. Movies, books and so on are created over this issue if you wanted to explore it more.
Easy, Breezy and Beautiful 🤩 Such healthy looking hair, both straight AND curly!

As a lazy natural I have learnt one important rule. Twist it or put your hair in conrows and then leave it alone is the secret to hair growth.
Amen...very little manipulation is key!
Mee right now my sister asked me how my hairs growing so quick after me and her buzz cut our hair off. Keep it braided for as long as possible wash it condition it and then put it straight back in a protective style. My hair has 2-3 extra inches everytime I take it down for a wash
@@destinyswanigan1854 nobody wants to do that their whole life just to get their hair to grow
Stay natural ✨️
@@WCarter615nobody wants to maintain their hair to keep it from breaking?
I agree that consistency is so important. Also what you eat/drink, how you treat your hair, and keeping it moisturized and protected is so important as well. I’m at about 16 inches and it took me I think 2 or 3 years? It’s been a journey but, I’m falling in love with it the longer it gets! Seeing how long and healthy it is keeps me consistent.
Stimulating your hair follicles by washing, brushing or massaging (or all 3) helps with hair growth too.

I just leave mine alone and it grows😂😂 I only detangle my when I'm going out and that's rarely.
@@kizzyharding6597 AMEN, Me 2❤️🦋🙏
Another thing EVERYBODY is saying they had to use was PATIENCE!! I’m going to go on a journey to thicken my hair, especially hearing her say, it took her 6 years. So, I think that all of us who wants longer or thicker hair, I believe the Lord has given us the recipe. That’s why I saved the videos that tells us the products that other Sisters used to grow their hair! And how to be gentle and use the 6 or 7 different products. Because if we just depend on wigs or weaves, that’s more expensive! Thanks everybody!👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
@@kizzyharding6597 same
Kinky coily hair likes to be protected, in all ways including from the elements, from dryness, from aggressive styling and detangling etc; it also likes being left alone to do its own thing; it loves to show out but if you want it grow longer and longer, it requires your protection and to then be left alone
Ding ding ding you got it. Wish all black ppl understood this
I need to learn to leave mine alone, poor hair can't breathe, tx for the advice 😊
Plus a lot of these products are bad for black hair
HER HAIR TEXTURE IS NOT THAT HARD, OR KINKY , IT'S MORE CURLY WAVY AND SOFT, EASIER TO GROW HAIR PERIOD.
i agree
First I just wanted to say, that hair is gorgeous. I started mine in 2022. I have a stylist that takes care of my hair every 2 weeks. I reached my goal to my mid back. I am there now. I am pushing towards my waist.
You pay a stylist every 2 weeks instead of learning 😂😂😂
@@nenala7684 I’m not offended that you laughed. I’d rather spend my days enjoying my retirement than spending 4 hours in front of a mirror and a camera. I have been doing my hair since I was 9. I’m sure that was way before you were born baby girl. I’m used to having things done for me. Being wealthy has its privileges…no disrespect. Your hair is beautiful though
@Syrsee ok girl you read me
Genetics is what makes hair grow 💯
Hair tip for anyone regardless of hair type or texture: Stop using hot water on your hair. It doesn't have to be cold, but use cooler water to wash/rinse your hair. I got rid of SO much frizz by just doing that. I'm sure outcomes vary from person to person, but cooler water will help anyone's hair regardless.
Yes you are so right cool water to rinse and wash your hair hot water will take your hair out for real 💯🎯✔️
Why does cooler water make my hair feel crunchy 💀
same hot water dries my hair out
Really?
@@theresanyamekye I don't have curly hair or anything, but frizz can be reduced in pretty much any hair type just by using cold water, though the results will probably vary by person. I'm pretty sure it tightens the hair strand and keeps them stronger. Hot water is probably one of the root causes for most people with frizz, they just don't even know it.

This is probably the most relaxed that I’ve seen Jonathan in an interview. Fun but important conversation. Thanks for posting.
From someone that always had trouble growing my hair past my neck because I kept messing with it/frying it. Now that I leave it in protective styles about 2months and do my wash routine and repeat my hair is to my breast/down my back couldn’t be more happy sometimes you just gotta stop touching your hair🧚🏽
The only way I got my hair to retain length was to get locs & leave it alone & just let it grow naturally. I just wash it weekly & retwist once a month. Some ppl's hair just wants to be left alone
100% true. I stop styling and oiling and it is the healthiest probably my whole life. My mom ruin my hair at age 12 she permed it to make it curly like hers. Then tried to hide it with dyes, heat etc. It wasn't until my 20s when I got my first phone I researched so much about hair. Changed to organic products and oils to assist it.
I’m exactly in the same situation. Got locks in May 2018, life changer!
My hair dont grow😢😢
I also want long beautiful hair
@@preciousinyang1224 take perfectil extra hair support vitamin. It will hrlp you alot. My hair grew more than an inch after 3 straight months of taking the vitamin. As we get older we have to maintain our inner health and thats done with particularly vitamins that target hair. After every meal i take it every single day. No hair growth if you're inner body isn't healthy.
👍
Leaving my hair alone is how my hair grows so thick and long so fast. There's something that works for everyone I'm sure just lovely your hair
Same my hair likes to be left alone and it grows!
@@pf6980 Yes like a Chia Pet just grows and grows😄😄

Am happy to see this beautfull black lady with her beautfull nature hair . For sure africans can grew their nature hair
Preventing breakage is key. Once you learn how to do that for your hair type, it’s on!
Since I’ve stopped fine braids, perming, sewn in weave, and started using herbal shampoo 🧴 and leave in conditioner, I’ve seen an improvement in the quality of my hair. It’s no longer scanty, no more breakage and bundles of hair coming out in the shower. My hair is slightly longer, fuller body in the last few months.
@@lmusima3275 awesome! It will continue to flourish!
My hair want stop shedding. I went short like Halle berry back in the day short...now it's been shedding...I keep it a leave in conditioner in it olive oil based and I keep it wrap with a satin scarf so hopefully this helps it ..ANY IDEA FOR COURSE HAIR???
@@marieammons814 shedding is falling from the root and seeing the cuticle on the end, general about 80-100 hairs are aged daily or more depending on hormonal phases (like mine for the second time during postpartum shedding). Breaking is it actually breaking at any point past the root, cuticle still in tact.
Determine which is happening first. Dryness can cause both of these things.. Drink plenty of water and keep it moisturized with as little manipulation as possible. But OVER saturation is definitely a thing too. Don’t go crazy with the leave in. Try for few months, that don’t work try something different. But try your best to just leave it alone with ACTUAL protective styles that cause no tension or breakage.
I had a pixie cut once and I used to wrap my hair in the same direction and tied it tightly with bandannas and it broke off on one side… the side that would rub the bandanna. Use satin to wrap loosely. Pin curls are less tension than wrapping always. Moisturizing with a deep conditioner often vs using leave in and keeping ends clipped helped me. I wish I could post pics.
I have very long thick hair. The secret to my hair is that I one hair dresser. Don't use everyone and don't allow every Jim and jack touch your hair.... Use one. And secondly is that if you plait your hair every after a month stick to that routine. And don't buy any product out their. I use normal thick Vaseline in my hair....
Things to avoid. Hair blower, toner etc use them one in a while otherwise you make the hair break...
Been telling this to women for the past 13 years..the secret to growing your hair long is breathing in and out..take care of it..stop cutting, coloring, perming, and burning your hair and give it time..it will grow..but you have to learn to deal with the ugly phase. Too many people want perfect hair ..you want perfect buy a wig..you want long natural hair you will have to learn to face yourself push past your insecurities and accept you for you..this incudes your hair.
So well said
Yeah, being patient while one goes through the ugly phase is an important lesson.
💯
Perfect hair is not those nasty wigs
Afro hair is perfect
You have to cut in order for growth. And roots need a little heat. Breathing in and out, ain't got nothing to do with hair growth. Being healthy and just simply taking care of your hair.
STUNNING 😍 🙌🏾❤🫶🏾🔥
Beautiful hair, thanks for sharing
Take care of your hair, don't stress it, it will grow, and genetic also works, and just because your hair don't grow long, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not what your hair do and that's ok ❤
@I’m so freaky freshy freshy Unless you have a major health ailment, your hair grows constantly and consistently. The problem is that many of us have trouble retaining that length without breakage/damage.
@I’m so freaky freshy freshy in 2023, get a glueless lace front if you want waist length hair right away. 💁🏾♀️
@I’m so freaky freshy freshy it can it’s however you’re maintaining it…shoulder length is one that is hard to get past because of breakage from rubbing against clothing. Felicia braids , twist and head wraps will help you retain the length.
@I’m so freaky freshy freshy you need vitamins. I take the perfectil extra hair support. Im consistent with it everyday after a meal. I took it 3months straight i swear it grew faster than i thought. My hair is usually slow but with this vitamin it helped it further. Nobody should skip their vitamins forever. Its a must for those struggling with hair growth and health.
You are so insanely beautiful sis geez 😍😍😍😍
1. Go natural
2. Wash once/week
3. Twist it up
4. Put a head wrap on
5. LEAVE IT ALONE
Also:
- You don't need a whole lot of products (eg just mix a couple dollops of conditioner with water in a spray bottle for a conditioning spritz. For natural oil, mix castor oil and coconut oil together - these alone should be enough)
-NEVER COMB IT WHEN DRY - always when at least damp.
Your hair will be down your bum before you know it.
Like Rapunzel❓
Rinse out conditioner is not the same thing as leaven conditioner. It's not going to add moisture to your hair. It's supposed to balance out the PH in your hair After shampooing. You cannot use rinse out conditioner in place of leave in conditioner. It does not work that way. Conditioner helps to balance the ph and leave in conditioner is there to restore moisture that was lost after the shampooing and conditioning process rinsed out your natural oils.
@@FreedomUninterrupted
The spritz is just to keep the hair damp while you're twisting it up. The oil mix will keep it moistured til the next wash day (1 weeks time). Plus the hair will be covered so it will retain the moisture.
No need to buy a boatload of products. Keep it simple.
@@StrangestofDays Yeah but I think what Freedom Uninterrupted was trying to say is that you should not put rinse out conditioner it your spritz. Maybe you meant leave-in conditioner (in which case it would be fine), but from your original comment it sounded like you suggested spraying your hair with water+wash-out conditioner before you style it/after washing.
So basically: do not leave rinse out conditioner in your hair. It is supposed to be rinsed out. There is such a thing as keeping it TOO simple. Just do the same thing as you described, but with a leave-in conditioner.
If I misunderstood what you were trying to say and you actually meant leave-in conditioner, I apologise.
Once a week is way too often to shampoo flat cell hair unless you’re using a TON of product bcuz your stripping the natural sebum and that damages your cuticle. Once every 3 weeks is ideal when you’re trying to grow length #LicensedCosmetologist here who grew my hair past my shoulders from base of my ears in 12 months and legions of clients w all different hair textures and porosities ♥️

I have naturally thin hair and I do not look good with silk presses. I can get a way with a blow out coz hair looks fuller. My daughter is the same way so there no product on the market that will make my hair thicker or longer and I’m okay with that 🥰 embrace your hair whether short or long, thick or thin
Hey hun ..Have you tried castor oil?
...but you can still try Biotin. It's a B Vitamin, it 'thickens' hair ( more density) but you need to keep using it.
More Protein
Check Iron levels
Research first though!

@@jasminecarter8998have you tried getting loose curls when your hair is silk pressed ? It’ll make your hair look fuller
PATIENCE is key. And I am preaching that to myself...it is NOT easy! Oh and your hair is gorgeous!❤
I know for me after having big chop ever so often, an using Keratin treatments, an protein treatments along with deep conditioning, an not shampoo I see grow, I'm growing out my hair from cutting it 3 years ago. Consistancy an Discipline works. I silk press! I left relaxers alone, an that's when I noticed growth also.
The 52 weeks for 6 years got me true true consistency
Yea and many of us won’t commit to that long term time frame 😂
Genetics, hard work, discipline and determination are all factors in successful hair growth
Genetics?!
@@Wtf.liaa_ in my experience, "genetics" is what people say when they don't have an answer to something.
Look up "epigenetics" your body is changing like the wind. Don't let " Durr genes that's why you don't have blah blah blah" make you feel discouraged
Genetics has nothing to do with it... I was able to grow mines and my kids doing the bare minimum... Being consistent and leaving it alone is all it takes
GENETICS DETERMINE YOUR HAIR TYPE AND EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS--IT'S ALL IN YOUR UNIQUE AND PERSONAL DNA (... Better ASK SOMEBODY!) LOL 💯💯💥💥🔥🔥🤓
@@dawathabrown22 This is so true. Genes are the cards you've been dealt, but I rather say canvas. I know a girl that turned her rectangular body shape with high metabolism to slim-thick. It litterally isn't that deep.
I feel you, sis. My NATURAL hair drags the ground and, once ppl realize it's grown, not sewn, I get a million questions (and ppl wanting to touch it...) **STOP!** I also think they didn't believe Black Women could grow our hair like this.
Btw, your hair is healthy looking and GORGEOUS!
You and your hair are beautiful!
You are so beautiful young black girl, don't allow anyone to destroy you. Keep praying.

Speak your the truth Sis, I’ve learned to commit to many things over the years. My hair is one I still am overcoming obstacles with. The more I do it the more I love it. That’s my truth.
Your hair texture makes it grow
Girl your hair is beautiful. Consistency… you did that!😊
My hair is close to that length and I don’t do anything to it 😩😂. I get questions. My answer “🤷🏾♀️moisturize it and leave it alone!”
I don't even moisturize. Mostly leave it alone. My hair just grows lol. I cut it December 2021 and it's back to mid-back length. It's 4c too
Mine is armpit length now after several setbacks, so the tips are useful.
Leaving it alone will grow it for sure. Then you go and lose 4-5 inches doing something stupid to it that you didn't know was wrong.
I don’t even moisturize mine often and I near bout look like a lion. I def leave it alone though!

Your hair is so healthy and beautiful. Keep up the good work on maintaining your beautiful hair ❤️
I had bum length hair when it was relaxed. It was like that all of my life up until I decided to go natural 2 years ago. People used to stop me in the store to ask about my regimen-one even took out a pen and paper (bless her heart). I was happy to help, but I always felt a tiny bit like a fraud for doing it because I knew the “secret” to my thickness and length wasn’t really a secret at all. Sure, KeraCare products and wrapping my hair at night created optimal conditions for my hair to thrive and reduced the likelihood of breakage, but a lot of it boils down to time, my genetics, and other physiological conditions I can’t recreate for someone else…especially not at the self checkout in Harris Teeter with a line of people behind me 😆.
Blessings to you 🙏for 🙏❤💛💓including the DNA aspect. Take care
😂😂😂😂
@@robbiediles4242 it's not genetics unless you have alopecia or some kind of scalp disorder anybody here can get that long if we have been conditioned that we have short hair because we were neglected as a people it's literally not true there's girls on here with 4C hair that's thick and it's all the way down to their butt sorry it takes consistency and learning that your hair is not bad and patience in a routine.

Sweetheart, you have done a beautiful job in taking care of your crown! A lot of us Sistahs don’t want to put in the time, being patient to help their hair to grow! ❤😊❤😊
U R Gorgeous!
Another thing that makes your hair long is genetics. 👀 I have naturally long hair so when people ask me how I grew my hair, I never have an actual answer for them because I never had to go through what they may have to, to grow their hair. I just make sure my ends are trimmed and my scalp is healthy. 🤗
It’s true though. You must be consistent. Nothing else will grow your hair, except for patience and consistency. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s the truth.
Your hair is so beautiful. Love it
Keeping it simple is the best hair growth system... We forget we grew up on mom only using shampoo, with sulfate, and grease, and hair was long and thick. As time went by things that mom used in the past is now wrong and damaging. Smh.
The thing about most of the products my Mum used in my hair is the companies changed up the formulas either to save them some money or because they aren't owned by the same people anymore.
I've been thinking about all of this lately...We'll figure something out, agreed???Until then, I'm about find out about her blow dryer!!! lol 😆😚
I was just saying this!! My mom swore to Always Indian Hemp, and my hair was luxurious!! They don't even sell that anymore.

@@809tuchikita I got a prescription for topical compounded Progesterone cream. I went to an endocrinologist but you can go to a family Dr or gyno. It has to be prescription though! The OTC stuff at the health food store doesn't work near as well. It has to be filled at a compounding pharmacy. Some take insurance but you usually have to pay out of pocket for it. Mine comes to about $30 a month. Hope that helps ❤️
Gorgeous hair! Also, what people fail to realize is that genetics plays a BIG role in how quickly your hair grows and also the texture/thickness. Going natural is NOT going to make your hair magically grow 5 inches a month! The most important thing is to cleanse your hair regularly, deep condition, and moisturize. I’ve been natural since 2009, I’ve cut my hair a few times, and I also co-wash my hair EVERY morning in the shower :) I also have a “magic mix” that I use. It’s homemade and the base is unrefined shea butter, and a mix of at least 10 different oils (proprietary secret… lol). Do what works for you and don’t get obsessed over length, it’s only hair :)
Most people’s hair does grow but they might not see the length because of breakage
Exactly, genetic!
The average person’s hair grows 6 in a year their’s only a very few amount of ppl that have slower hair growth….so plz stop using that excuse 😂
It's definitely genetics. If you look at West Africa you'll see certain countries have more hair than others
That part!
Congrats girl and Kudos to boot! Happy for you!
Right now, I'm learning patience and gratitude
my sister just kept her hair braided and it grew. no chemicals or anything else. braids can actually grows your hair and it grows thick.
I started my natural hair journey 10 years ago with the big chop when we all thought we had Traci Ellis Ross hair lol! I thought by now my hair would be down my back 🙄 it hits my neck curled and at the small of back straighten really no difference from when I permed my hair. And it’s more work, even though I followed the hair care routines of “long haired naturals” people under estimate genetics a lot of times on social media. As most of the people that create channels focused on hair, fitness etc often already have the qualities they know people aspire to. So instead I take the tips with appreciation but understand it may look different for me. I’m not sorry I went natural even if it didn’t go the way I thought ❤️
This. 🤎
Excellent points! We are all different. 😊
You have beautiful hair. You're right, consistency 👏😊❤.
No matter what hair type that you have, if you take care of it regularly it will grow, but having naturally curly hair is going to grow and grow faster than hair that is not naturally curly. My daughter's hair was this long when she was 5 and her hair is really curly.
I grew my hair out long like that as well and as a licensed Cosmetologist the best advice I can tell you is to simply LEAVE IT ALONE! Keep your ends trimmed, sleep on a silk pillowcase and do not I repeat DO NOT shampoo it more than once every 3 weeks. Trust me on that last one! Also limit products containing alcohol bcuz it strips and damages the hair shaft and cuticle most importantly. Be patient, it’ll be past your shoulders in to time ♥️
I have to wash my hair at least 2-3 times a week. I can't have dirty, dry hair and a dirty scalp going 3 weeks without washing.
@@michie1luv Unless you have round cell hair or you are using ALOT of styling products, you are over shampooing your hair if you’re doing it 2-3 times a week! You’re not even giving your hair a chance to get dirty 😂 Once every 2 weeks is ideal, but hey do what works for you. I’ve only been making a damn good living in Cosmetology for 25 years and have “growing hands” but what do I know 🤷🏽♀️ Good luck
@@caramelcosmo71147 I do exactly what works for me and that's why I have healthy, long hair and a healthy scalp. I used to do that crap you're talking about when I was a child and didn't know better. After doing research and applying it, my hair is doing fantastically. The methods of washing I use are different from yours, and that's okay. I'm more than sure your clients would have better success from my growing hands than yours, and I speak from experience. I would never perpetuate that lie you spread convincing people that the path to healthy hair begins with a dirty scalp and dirty hair. Eww. Unsanitary.
@@michie1luv Exactly that is gross. I wash my hair once a week. Do my shampoo first then conditioner/cowash then deep conditioning. Both my shampoos and conditioner have protein. I cannot go more than a week without washing my hair regardless if it’s in a protective style. My scalp will start itching and smelling. Cannot imagine washing my hair only once a month 😮! Gotta do what works best for your hair.
Exactly a shampoo when your hair and scalp are dirty don’t do a shampoo every week I do my shampoo after 10 days and my hair grow
The best things come to those who wait. Patience is truly a virtue. Your beautiful hair is worth waiting for. Looks great! Congratulations!
I've been trying to grow my hair forever, and it's never been past my armpits. Maybe it's not what my hair does.
I been patient all my life (33 years) I give up at this point 🤷🏾♀️ 🫠
Your hair color is THE cutest!!! ❤❤❤
I love this. Consistency is always key. My hair grew better while it was straight and not curly only because I had to choose a side so that my hair got used to one direction of growing. I used to blow it out and bantu knot it on top of my head for work. It did not always make me look cute, but it worked.
damn girl that hair came out like SILKKKKK gorgeousssss
The fact that you're able to achieve the same style as a lace front should tell people it's time to go natural.
Amen! We don't know what our hair is worth. Know ur worth.
People are not willing to go through the phase they consider ugly (short hair) for them to go natural.
I’d likely still wear a lace front (although I don’t wear wigs at all) because I don’t want that amount of heat on my hair.haven’t used a flat iron in 6 years
@@DarcyMiyamotoprecisely. It's called balance lol. Various styles and upkeep options.
It’s not your hairrrr
I'll tell you one thing, black women never had hair like this and at this health and length before going naptural. Black women literally thought that black hair couldn't grow.
With perms and pressing combs, a lot of black women couldn't keep more than 3 in of hair. 12 in was pretty much the max. And the hair they did have was damaged, lifeless, and unhealthy.
It shows the power of loving and accepting yourself. This is a Life Lesson Black women better never forget.
Gorgeous hair & skin!! 😍😍
She has beautiful hair. And you look really nice with your hair straight .

My daughter is on her natural hair journey and she uses onion water once in a while. She puts water in it daily and braids it up at night. Her hair looks so good and healthy. I told her to document it on her UA-cam channel.
Sweet you show love/support to your hair 💝. I been natural for 10yrs it took a few yrs ago to get my hair more healthy and curly ❤ I just need more length past my shoulders 😊 just a little though 😅
GORGEOUS HAIR. Growing your hair and maintaining is a life style. Healthy eating is key. Veggies, fruits, and lots of water. ❤
Your hair and skin are so beautiful!! Love the consistency prompts!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Eating right, making sure your vitamins are right, deep conditioning, wash and set, no braids or weaves and in a year or so you’re hair will grow out nice and long.
I fully agree with the wash and set. When I was growing my relaxed hair out all I did was get weekly wash and roller sets, oil my scalp and wrapped it up at night. It grew to almost mid-back length until I decided to cut it. Now I've decided to go natural and grow it out again. Also, genetics not hurt either.

MS.AMY🌹 IS THERE!! READY FOR THE JOURNEY!!! AND I'M LOVING IT!!❤❤❤
Your commitment and hard work paid off you look stunning
Figuring out the importance of blood work helped me grow my hair. I also had to learn what products worked for me and my hair's personality (what styles look good on ME, when my hair needed a trim or a protein treatment) and the importance of nutritional meals 🫶🏽
Wheeeww, that hair is HEALTHY! 💗💗Not only consistency, but supportive products and drinking plenty of water helps with hair and skin as well.
If drinking water was the case, my hair would have been down to the floor, because I carry a water bottle everywhere I go.
I'm glad you shared this show. Thank you ❤
Yes consistency is important plus your care your diet & many other things .1
Congrats young lady beautiful hair .
❤💕🙏🏿🙌🏾🙌🏾🌻
I did a big chop on my mid-back length hair in 2021 coz i was bored and wanted to grow my afro. So far my hair is 26cm long, i have a bouncy afro and i love it. Never gonna use heat on my hair again. Yes it takes effort but the results are worth it. Going year 2 with my natural crown, feeling confident af.
Well, hun, it was worth every wash, condish, oil treatment, detangle, stretch, blow dry, and curl.
Oh don't forget about the necessary trims to the list sis lol..
Girl you have some Beautiful skin as well as beautiful long healthy hair
She's gorgeous❤
I been natural for 10 years Ppl always ask me how my hair is so healthy and long what worked for me was leaving my hair alone i didn’t wear braids or wigs the braids would pull my hair and add tension and letting your hair breathe is important . So I wore 2 strand twists, twist outs I sprayed my hair with water every other day and I just let my hair grow I wasn’t concerned about it growing fast. And I don’t put heat on my hair I can go years without flat ironing my hair but I’m getting that itch to flat iron it
Don't do it girl !! once you use a flat iron it's never the same but if you find me a good heat protector that works tag me !!
@@jessstimmel9489 when I’ve flat ironed my own hair I never got hear damage i use mielle organic leave in conditioner and heat protectant It works really good in my hair . but two years ago I went to a natural hair salon and got my hair flat ironed and I did get a small patch of heat damage in the front of my hair so I haven’t gotten my hair flat ironed since then . I may go back to the last salon and just tell them about the heat damage because my hair was so soft and bone straight
The problem is many black women rather spend their money on wigs and weave instead of puttin time and effort on their natural hair. I hope all my beautiful black women realize they’re beautiful without all that unnecessary fake hair and learn how to properly care for their natural hair and embrace it❤
How’s that a “problem”?? Many of us have long hair due to protective styles like wigs
@@starelise1387 thats called genetics hun
@Markiesha Renee Not all. A lot of women abandon their hair when it is 'protected'
@Markiesha Renee Yeah but I understand what you were saying too because if you do take care of it you can retain a lot of growth.
You can do both. Wigs are a protective style and a lot of woman have a head full of healthy hair underneath.
She’s beautiful and love her hair too
Heat on the highest level adds frizz your hair is steaming which either it's not all the way dry or too much product built up on your hair shaft
