You’re not lying sis, nutrition is number one. I have slacked lately in my nutrition, l have to go back to it again. When l was eating healthy my hair grew faster , no joke. Scalp massager is not a joke at all, l have grown hair within 9 days with using a massaging gadget , it works.
I’m guilty of not doing enough of scalp massages but I’ll get there. I’m probably close to waist length maybe im there already haven’t done a lenght check since the year started. I love my hair I want my hair to thrive so I enjoy watching videos like these to educate me more
Thank you for this video. For many years my hair was down my back, maybe to my waist. Several years ago for stress reasons my hair broke off, and because I didn't get back to consistent care it stayed at shoulder length. In April 2023 I did the big chop myself and started a consistent health hair care routine. My hair retained 6 inches in 8 months. Now my hair is the healthiest it has ever been. Many of the tips you shared I use. Yesterday while shopping I bought a scalp massager for the first time. I use to just use my fingers but now I will use both. I will also use it when washing my hair. 👍🏽🤗🌹🙏🏽💖
ugh! stress is the silent killah of all things. im so happy you made the changes and saw results. blessings to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and Im so happy for your continued healthy hair journey
Thank you for sharing these tips! By the way, your hair is waist-length. The waist is the narrowest part of the torso. Mid-back is where your bra-strap is, you're definitely past that.
Great tips! Remember, all hair needs some protein, especially high porosity hair. A good protein-moisture balance helps her hair stay moisturized longer. Your hair looks so healthy. New subscriber.
I used to trim my hair every 6-8 weeks, but once I started adding No. 7 oil to my ends and rosemary tea oil to my scalp, I haven’t had to do that. I also started doing the deep moisturizing treatments more consistently and introduced scalp massage. So it’s been growing longer and not splitting than before. Oh, and I’m keeping my hair tied up. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience.
@@marlenesoto8850 thank you for sharing!!!!!! I love that you found something that worked for you and your hair is thriving ❤️💃🏽🙌🏾 deep conditioning will forever be a major factor in my book
@@marlenesoto8850 I very lightly trim my ends. It is not a real trim. I just want to keep the ends neat and even. My hair really seems to grow more when I keep my end lightly trimmed on a schedule. My hair is growing great and healthier than it has ever been. My hair has grown about 7 inches in the past 9 months.👍😊
I just wash dry and four braids. After it dries i take it down and pull into a curly pony tail. I use a different shampoo depending on the season. Winter more moisture. I love this video because many young ladies and women are learning to take care of their hair on yt. I have been natural since 1990. My hair is down my back i get it cut once a year because i only allow one person to trim my hair. But above all i ask God to keep me healthy and vibrant and to help me to take care of my body which includes my hair. And He does.
Your hair is midback length like mine. I started 2024 with a trim and will evaluate for a trim seasonally. Next goal is thicker, healthier waist length hair.🎉
@@SharatiaBanks I use all of those teas in my deep conditioner and hair spritzers also. Trying to get to waist length this year. I’m 10 years natural and have had set backs because I trusted 7 different stylists over the years. They all ruined my hair. Try horsetail tea! It’s the truth. Rosemary is my holy grail ingredient
Finally a channel with useful information for “MY” journey! I ALMOST drank the kool-aid from another channel that popped up on my feed, no oils etc. - I was like “ Fool what are you doing!” Anywho, I know now, stick to what I know works for “ME” - Good info! Thank you☺️
THANK YOU!! it really shines in sunlight and certain lighting situations. Been reluctant to dye it cause I don’t know too many ppl with naturally brown hair lol
Wow!!! I forgot to mention that 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I only took it for the 6 months that I tried it first. I wanted to see how my body was going to react if I stopped. Months went by then years and here we are lol but I bought a bottle (pills 😩) a month ago and I’m slowly adding it to daily supplements 🤗🤗
@@SharatiaBanks that's amazing, I just ordered the organic powdered one. I was thinking about my daughters hair which is quite similar to yours but very thin and she doesn't know how to maintain. I am glad that you are back taking them. God bless 💕🤗🇬🇧
My iron was low like 7 and the normal is supposed to be like over 14 so I was half of that😩. Don’t quote me because I am not sure about the particulars but it was too low 😢
20:58 Heyy ma, I pray your doing well 🥰 please do you put a disposable shower cap on first then your microwaveable shower cap on or do you place it directly on please ma 💗✨ I saw a review on Amazon from someone saying they have fine hair (you and I too😆) and the cap would drag the hair roots causing breakage😅
Thanks gworllll ❤️ I actually have a video on TikTok but it’s too long for UA-cam 😒 they need to extend that but it make sense they wouldn’t cause it’s was initially a platform for longer videos 🤣
@@SharatiaBanks oh lol it’s too long for YT shorts? Dang! Maybe you could post it as a regular video cuz your results are bomb! Is it a flexi rod or curling wand or Bantu knots?
Technically yea…there’s msm in the MaryRuth’s multivitamin for hair growth. I stopped taking it to see what the effects would be, and totally forgot about it
Apparently the porosity “test” is inaccurate. The idea is, if your hair sinks, it is highly porous but when you put a sponge in water, it does not sink….
Yeaaaaa so I’ve heard.. something about density 🤷🏾♀️ but either way, if water hits it, and opens, it’s very porous. Them water beads tend to happen when it’s low porosity lol
I was using the tgin leave in but I started using kinky curly knot today leave in with Camille rose aloe whipped butter gel and it’s the go to go to now! Lol
@@SharatiaBanks so far I have only used the knot today leave in but they have a curly custard that I hear is good too but I didn’t try that yet. Def recommend the leave in though!
I disagree with the logic behind speeding up hair growth. The example you gave about shedding isn’t talking about ‘speed’ but the act of hair falling out for an external process and in the of stressors it is a pathological process. But if you are not going through any pathological reasons that can cause detrimental effects on your hair, then the speed of hair is 95% dependent on genes, same with density and thickness of strand Now can that 5% exist? Absolutely, but it would take considerable effort that may or may not have an effect and again I mean from a person that is in a normal state so eating healthy, drinking water and everything. That’s just my thought So I recommend people that are healthy to just focus on retaining your length than trying to control a factor that is largely dependent on something you have no control over.
The rate our hair sheds is also a genetic factor. The example I gave was to prove that genes in general can be affected by behavioral factors including things that cause stress which results in excessive shedding. Growth, color, shed, texture all based on genes. However, the point I’m making is that epigenetics can alter the way our genes work. It doesn’t change the dna just how our dna reacts. I understand epigenetics is controversial but I was giving a general example. And I believe it WHOLEHEARTEDLY cause sis is a grower of .5 inches normally but I incorporated scalp massages, drinking teas, and I’m at an inch. And for sure, def retain the length by doing the required actions but it would be cool if I can retain more by growing more
I disagree with your trim vs. cut explanation. If you trim something, you're removing a small amount. Trim the fat from the meat, trim the grass, not going deep. Trimming 1/4 inch of hair is trimming it during the act of cutting. Why try to make this complicated?
OK much to ooooo fast less comments more content 2nd if you gonna reference a product you should leave up on the screen long enough for a screen shot😢😮😢
I love UA-cam cause it allows for different viewing options, including pausing and rewinding. Those features helped me. Hopefully it helps you! .. also.. I'm not sure how to assist with the first statement, can you edit or reword?
lemme make sure I understand... you saw the title ...(knowing it was a helpful video for ppl who care about their hair).. decided to CLICK on the video.. and comment that you don't care about YOUR hair... cool.
It's not that we worry about our hair so much, it is that For centuries, people of color did not have. Products made specifically for their hair texture. Our hair is very Fragile and it needs much care. it's time consuming to take care of our hair we must keep it moisturized ,Oiled otherwise it will break off.
