What's annoying is that every time I watch a hair growth UA-cam you have women on here talking about how someone is mixed and that's why this and that, but if yall just shush for a minute and listen to what she was saying yall won't miss the information that's critical to you. 1. deep conditioner-that softens your hair and makes it easier to manage. (Knowing how often to deep condition is crucial though, cause my hair can only take so much since my hair is medium porosity) 2.Low manipulation-this ensures that you don't pull out your hair with complicated styles, protective styles are very beneficial in this step as well as the type of comb you use, don't ever use a thin tooth comb. Use a wide comb. 3. Take care of your body, drink water, take vitamins if you have to in order to maker up for nutrition you may lack. You literally are what you eat.
Shakana Allen Neem oil and greenhouse method if you can’t retain moisture. Works for me. I’ll throw on a shower cap with some deep conditioner mixed with neem (to keep away mildew) and leave that wrapped up for days 😂 I have cut my hair 3 times in 3 years and I’m about to cut it again because I stupidly decided to overuse heat while it was summer and now my hair is fried 😂 like crisp bacon fried lmao. It’s just hair tho 😊
when I was a kid my mom would keep my scalp greased with blue magic and my hair was so thick and healthy. then I got older, start listening to folks saying you don't need to grease your scalp. well guess what, as soon as I stopped, my hair stopped growing for 2 yrs and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't growing. sometimes you have to take it back to the "Old School", So as soon as I started back greasing my scalp with blue magic hair grease, My hair is back to growing really nice and thick (-:
She's onpoint about not styling hair on a daily basis, which is over-manipulation. Once the hair begins responding positively, people want to constantly touch and look at it or apply more product for even greater results. But it's actually counterproductive and can encourage damage. The hardest aspect of growing back our hair is most definitely patience. 💙
She also had a baby, that will make your hair grow so much. Taking those prenatal vitamins will do it. My natural hair grew so much when I had my baby.
Yes of course, your hair grows more during pregancy we retain that length and continue to take care of our hair and our hair continues growing. Not saying it's the main reason for her length or how fast it grew but it's one of the reasons.
I'm not promoting pregnancy, I stated pregnancy was one of the many factors in her natural hair journey. Regular vitamins are great for over all health.
carissa tiller you can take prenatal from over the counter that works. My aunt use to get me to give her some of my prenatal when I was pregnant and her hair grew like she was.lol You can go to a pharmacy and get some. It's also vitamins that is for hair and nails.
Another tip! Those with hair that feels weak and breaks off, if your hair feels TOO soft (there is such a thing). Holler at a PROTEIN TREATMENT! You need an even balance of moisture AND PROTEIN. Some just seem to have strong hair without treatments 😭
Taja Brown That is a good tip. I know a lot of people who use protein treatments every so often. I personally don't need them though. I've used one once lol.
Beautydivine this is probably a dumb question but since some of them have protein in it does it make them protein treatments? Even though many companies just name them masques or deep treatments?
I agree. So true! I used to use Aubrey Organics Balancing Protein Conditioner until they changed the formula. I loved that conditioner. Now I use a Shea Moisture deep conditioner.
Hazel Goddesss actually it doesn't make them treatments if it's low in the ingredients list. There are some protein (silk amino acids, hydrolized protien)that allow the hair to retain more moisture. Eg the shea moisture jbco usually makes your hair curl more which is as a result of the type of protein.
Maybe, be mindful of your stress level, drink plenty of water, use silk pillow case or silk bonnet/scarf while sleeping, moisture shampoo/conditioner, alcohol free products, etc. 😊 Named mentions work for me; however, I’m not a beautician. My hair is dry & colored I need moisture 4 my natural hair.
@poop Well, if you keep saying that it won't, then it won't. Our words have more power over our lives than we think. Say that it will grow, believe that it will grow, and it WILL grow. Speak it and believe it.
Sometimes genetics, but it's not how fast your hair grows it's how much hair you can retain. A lot of people either shed too much or their ends cut off. Try rice water and wild growth.
My hair grew really fast. All I did was wash it once a month, use a deep conditioner, moisturize it, I braided it into a few braids and wore a wig. I guess the low manipulation and less exposure to the elements helped it grow alot.
1. Wigs!!/Protective styling 2. Minimal comb usage (finger detangle) 3. Virgin hair fertiliser 4. Minimal to no heat 5. Biotin 6. Rice water hair wash, 1x a week 7. Massage 3 min daily with oil e.g Avocado 8. JBCO! 9. Trim hair every 3-4 months 10. Water hair daily/every other day 11. Make your own hair growth pomade (mine: JBCO, VHF, AVOCADO OIL, COCONUT OIL) 12. Moisturise every other day or daily with cream I’ve been doing this for 6 months & lordtt!! 😩😩 I wish I made this regimen years ago when I reached a growth plateau after the BC!
April 20th would be a month since I big chop and my hair already grown a lot in just a month it's shocking 💯 the things I do is I take biotin(gummies), wear braids , deep condition, and hot oil treatments also my mom had very long hair when she was a child so I guess that's why my hair is growing so fast good luck tho
Great video! Very detailed. I big chopped 2 weeks ago. Let the barber cut it into a short fade. I very big on diet. You are what you eat and your body responds accordingly. My hair is already growing after 2 weeks. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water, green tea and apple juice. I also have a daily vitamin regimine and prenatal vitamins are among the vitamins that I take. I wash, use a hit oil treatment, deep condition and put a leave in conditioner in, once a week. And I'm old school...I use blue magic hair grease every day and jamaican black castor oil 2 nights a week. Everyone's hair grows differently due to our genetic make up but we have to experiment and find what works best for us individually. Your hair is gorgeous. Hoping that by my 3 year mark that my hair is as healthy as yours. Thanks for the tips.
Shon9tilR once i made sure i kept my hair moisturized that stopped... mist away with an oil and water mix like 2x daily with braids and once every other day with a leave in spray.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with her voice. It is very pleasant. She's someone trying to help you and you haters could find nothing wrong so you attacked her voice. How Gross!!
Applying Mayonnaise: wash hair with whatever shampoo of your choice then applying the mayo from roots to end, put a bonnet on let stay on for 10-15mins (plastic bonnet will do) and then rinse out w/Luke warm water..and then apply regular condition just to break the smell of the mayo..and any kind of mayo works fine...what mayo do is put the protein back into your hair, it changes your texture...use at least once a month or as often as you choose and research it b/c you try it a lot of older African Americans women have did this over the years
Nice growth you got in 3 years! I'm on my second big chop and I'm trying to speed up my hair growth this time. So far I'm doing great but I'm always looking to learn other techniques.
I'm a guy. And believe it or not. I just use Murray's Pomade. I slick it down with a soft brush, throw on a durag, and wash my hair 3 times a month. Although genetics might play a part in it because I have cut it bald several times and have grown a decent Afro within a year.
Cowashing is great esp if you are using beneficial ingredients. I like Barry Fletcher Growth Creme. Its like Vicks without any vaseline. Massage in hair about twice a week. It speeds up growth
I really enjoyed your videos, just subscribed. You’re so real and informative! For the first time in my whole life, my hair is all natural, I just chopped off the relaxed hair, it’s short but seems like it’s growing fast. Thank you for all of the tips!
I love your hair videos. Please continue to inspire us kinky curly naturals. Your hair is beautiful. I like yourself do not do fully protective styles by choice. But i do twist outs that I only manipulate one time a week. It helps in retaining length next to fully protecting hair. Thank you for taking the time to share and demo new products. Xoxoxox
My moisture usually stays until I am ready to wash again so I do not much throughout the week but style. Drinking a lot of water and taking natures maid vitamins not the gummies has helped me too. I don't like to use too much product or taking too much time out of my week so once a day out of the week or every 2 weeks (prolly Saturday) my regimen is: Short version: Deep treatment Shampoo Leave in conditioner/moisturizer Seal in oils Scalp Style - In Depth Deep treatment: Egg, Msm (can make you sensitive to alcohol), Castor oil, Coconut oil (not that much) Almond oil, I want to include Jojoba oil and argan oil once I buy it After my treatment (max 1-2 hours leave in) I usually shampoo with Creme of nature argan oil but now I'm trying Maui coconut milk shampoo. Then I don't use regular wash conditioner I come out the shower and use a leave in spray conditioner because I already conditioned and wash conditioners tend to bother the result of my deep treatment (I usually like spray conditioners/moisturizers not creamed ones): I used to used Creme of nature leave in spray but for some reason it stopped working for me and now the almond milk carols daughter is really good also the curls lavish moisturizer leave-in works. I usually seal with castor oil and almond oil then use the virgin hair fertilizer on my scalp sometimes with an oil. (If I will straighten my hair this part of them regimen doesn't exist instead I use silk elements mega silk heat protectant spray and its Ah-mazing!) and then I style. For my edges every other night for about 2-3 weeks, I did mix garlic, castor oil and almond oil. That worked! It does have a scent bc of the garlic. Do not put too much garlic and do not use it in the morning, throughout the night the scent goes away for me anyway.
Your hair is fabulous. I think hair grows about 1/2" per month so if your ends are taken care of 6" a year is possible. I don't cowash, no oil sealing.
i have to say , in my teenager generation(byracial, Germany 80is90is ) it was all about perm and braids. I never had long hair to the shoulders, i wished though. Im glad a lot of black girls and woman realize the beauty of our curly hair. Im sure if we take care of our hair we can be really proud of. I never realized how awesome our hair is until These days and im doing everything to make them grow, thank you so much for the inspiration 😚Godblessyou
I loved all these tips I will add some of these to my own wash day routine and to my own channel and I can’t wait until this video gets a million views you deserve it 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I always tell people who ask how it grew so fast that I did nothing because in that many years thats normal for me..even before relaxed...if you're still rocking a TWA after 2/3 years there is something else going on or thats just your natural growth span. They have to compare how it grew before to now because everyone is different and nobody can duplicate someones exact processes to know if thats what worked for them. Your hair is beautiful!!
This is my second big chop. I was natural for 4 years and relaxed. Just did my second big chop in March of this year (2017) but I have been so lazy this time around and my hair growth shows it.
I have watched this video twice, it is very informative. Now I realize we are geographically in the same climate. Keep it up Queen 💚proud of you in so many ways.
Thanks for video. Great tips.....i finally got a silk press and trim. Only once a year is good for me. But because I lived in Vegas 3 yrs (extreme heat) had to find ways to keep my curls/phro moisturized. Now I'm on the East Coast, lol. Yeah I move every few years. And there is way more moisture here, so I will have to see how this goes. All in all, how one takes care of their body, and environment, products etc. All play a part in one's goals... been natural/ no perm or relaxer since mid 2012.
Kameron Stansbury use some honey and conditioner and whatever oils it will be so soft n moisturized after. Whipped shea butter and aloe vera does miracles to moisture
Avembe Nah! Not all natural hair is beautiful. 4c hair is the worst. Take it from me especially when it's thin and skrinks to like half an inch and them combing is worst. The curls are so tight your head hurts when combing. As I said natural is not always beautiful. 😠😠😠
Nam BI TET Tamare Just because you dont like YOUR hair doesnt mean 4c hair isnt absolutely gorgeous. I mean , look at Igbo curls, Efficiently natural, chadel mathurin ,nappy headed jojoba, craving curly kinks etc.etc.!
Nam BI TET Tamare Sorry but that's your opinion and I can respect that but 4c hair is da bomb. There is an African chic on UA-cam called WestAfricanBaby or something like that and her 4c hair is gorgeous and on point. Better than any 3c, 4a, 4b natural I've ever seen. And the buns she puts her hair in, are simply amazing! It's like 4c hair was made for beautiful coiffures! I think a lot of 4c's who haven't quite figured out how their hair works and what it needs feel the way you do. Plus you gotta deal with all these 3c and 4a folks out here in your face 24/7 constantly making videos and being worshipped. I can almost say without a doubt, had you been back in the 70s during what I call the "real natural hair movement" you would love your 4c hair and feel superior about it. I'm from the tail end of that era and here's a tip...go back to that old school stuff....it works better than any of this organic, sulfate free, silicone free stuff we have today in my opinion. I'm talking Sta Soft Fro and Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion. I keep bottles of these on hand and I can't be bothered with all that defining my coils mess. Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion, then I dry comb my hair, then hit it with some Sta Soft Fro spray and I look like I've been hand picked out of a vintage 1970s catalog! Did I mention how moisturizing both are??
Opssss sorry, I wrote the oils name but I didn't write how to put it on your hair,lol after you mix the oils together in a bowl massage your scalp for like 10 minutes and put some on your ends.Put a plastic cap or plastic bag if you don't have one we don't want our pillow case to be stain with the oils.
Sufer 8 is an awesome grease to grow your hair natural my mom always used this grease and it grew our hair thick and long and she washed our hair every two weeks its not good to wash our hair every week or every day it weakens the hair and don't blow dry all the time neither black hair is beautiful people envy our culture because we have so many styles we can do our natural hair
I get product buildup easily even though I have a high to medium density. I cleanse my scalp 3x a week and deep condition every time I cleanse. I conditioner wash my hair every day between my wash days because I find my hair is super thirsty and is the softest when I conditioner wash and finger detangle. I just cut my hair in April and again I did at the beginning of this month- it did not seem like I cut my hair at all and I'm surprised how well my hair is responding to this method. Will be making an ayurvedic hair growth oil soon!
Anise Meena Is your hair short? I wouldn't have all that patience to cowash everyday 🤣 for an extended period of time. That's a lot of deep conditoner, I don't think your hair needs all of that cleansing or products but who am I to say something if it's working.
Anise Meena you may be getting so much build up on your scalp because it's dry. Try oiling and massaging it every day. I had the same issue not long ago until I found out that my scalp was just over producing sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture.
Your hair looks GREAT, I can't take that away from you but if my hair was naturally that curly & defined..it would be down my back too. I think 4c has to work a lot harder because we can't all do the wash & go look..but nice video.
You and I do the exact same thing. That's one of the things I discuss on my channel, stay away from heat (I blow dry twice a year as well), deep condition your hair weekly and moisturize.
I’m 13 right now I only wore crochet when I was 7 Nd’ I been natural my whole life Nd’ when I was 10 I had a tremendous amount of hair Nd’ now my hair donteven go back my neck. Nd’ I’m trying everything even thought I’m 12 years natural 😭😭😩
girl do not put heat do braiding or keep it curly heat will DESTROY this particular texture becareful or just usr this blowout to do box braids havanna twists a protective style
beau knows88 exactly that us the best way to put heat but if she continues to do blow drying even if its for once a month her hair will break off slowly
you see how her hair looks now.. healthy and long so I don't really thinks she needs this advice lol she's been using heat and it her hair seems to be okay lol
I shampoo once permonth. Co wash once permonth as well. I might only need to co wash for now. I switch from creamy leave in. To spray leave in. Spray leave in, there's so much less product build up. Also slow down on the gels and grease. They build up on the hair very fast.
I needed this video. I feel like my hair only grows in braids and it's nice to have tips because I'm starting a natural journey and I'm so confused on what to buy and what to do with it.
Thank you. When giving tips I make sure to explain that this is what works for me and if you haven’t tried the things I said, definitely try BUT each persons hair journey is trial and error. You have to find what works for your hair. It took me years to get this natural thing right. I went natural in 2012 😑😭
Keep up on cleanse,deep condition mostly. Protein treatments is needed. That's only a few times per year. Install a style that you know. Will last 3 weeks or more. Two weeks is just not enough. Wanna keep your hands outta your head. Oh and heat ... Big killer there. Dk what to expect with that. Especially with flat iron and hot comb. Both cause heat damage, no matter what. Have a whole routine and still doesn't protect. One day that routine is pointless. That's how heat damage come about.
You are so sweet. I am happy your hair gre out. good and simple viedo and very detailed information. Thank you for sharing your information. yYou are correct. Moisturizing you hair is the main key
Question: How many months of growth did you have when you big chopped (first picture)? That should be included in how long you've been growing your hair.
Beautydivine it is included in how long I've been growing my hair. I went natural (stopped using texturizer) nov 1, 2014 but didn't big chop til 2015. Some people don't consider themselves natural until they big chop but I consider it when you stop using perms etc and grow it naturally.
My hair is long and it’s thick but for some reason even though it’s thick it doesn’t look as thick as yours which is confusing to me maybe shrinkage any tips?
6 inches in a year? Idk that tripped me out, ive literally been expecting half an inch every month since you said that but i get about an inch a month girl get that doogrow
Have you tried light oils like sweet almond oil or jojoba oil because I found that medium or thick oils like coconut oil or castor oil. Leaves my hair greasy.
Ida Murray I didn't take care of my hair when it was shorter. I used cheap rinse out conditioners and did wash and gos like everyday. Wore wigs. Straightened it. Whatever I could do for it to look descent. I didn't start taking care of it until almost a year into my journey.

That's what I'm using blue magic and my hair is off the chain!!🤪
I grew up on Blue Magic to, that grease is the truth!!
My hair was the healthiest while using blue magic. You are so right!
I use blue magic too.
This is my exact story 😭 my mom always says “i told you so” every time

But it's actually counterproductive and can encourage damage. The hardest aspect of growing back our hair is most definitely patience. 💙

She also had a baby, that will make your hair grow so much. Taking those prenatal vitamins will do it. My natural hair grew so much when I had my baby.
Supa Natural she had a baby 2-3 years ago. Her hair has grown since then

Who else cry their self to sleep because their hair is so damn short while the others have long hairs😣
it will grow ...all hair grows but it takes time and to be fair abit of seriousness if you want it to grow.don't worry
Maybe, be mindful of your stress level, drink plenty of water, use silk pillow case or silk bonnet/scarf while sleeping, moisture shampoo/conditioner, alcohol free products, etc. 😊

Sometimes I wonder the way some people hair grow so fast while mine is still where it was since last two year
Sometimes genetics, but it's not how fast your hair grows it's how much hair you can retain. A lot of people either shed too much or their ends cut off. Try rice water and wild growth.
Nina Kane ok thank you very much
Me too..I started using black Jamaican African Castrol oil and it's finally growing alone with massaging my scalp...:)
etiosa ekhator I wonder the same thing
Stacey Franklin wer did u get bj castor oil x x
I've noticed a BIG difference in my hair since I've been deep conditioning every week.
Tanita Nelson What's the product that you use?
Indigo Rain the main choice green tea mask & shea moisture Manuka & honey mask
Tanita Nelson Thank you 💓
Any particular day you deep condition your hair?
On Wednesdays b/c I like second day hair & I like it to look nice on Friday
This is crazy lol. I've been natural for 2 years and my hair won't grown past my neck TF.
girl yes..the same for me..smh and I have 4c..my hair stay breaking and I always have to cut the ends
My hair grew really fast. All I did was wash it once a month, use a deep conditioner, moisturize it, I braided it into a few braids and wore a wig. I guess the low manipulation and less exposure to the elements helped it grow alot.
1. Wigs!!/Protective styling 2. Minimal comb usage (finger detangle) 3. Virgin hair fertiliser 4. Minimal to no heat 5. Biotin 6. Rice water hair wash, 1x a week 7.

I’ve been doing this for 6 months & lordtt!! 😩😩 I wish I made this regimen years ago when I reached a growth plateau after the BC!
These are great tips! I've been doing the major of your steps before seeing them here. You should make a video.
April 20th would be a month since I big chop and my hair already grown a lot in just a month it's shocking 💯 the things I do is I take biotin(gummies), wear braids , deep condition, and hot oil treatments also my mom had very long hair when she was a child so I guess that's why my hair is growing so fast good luck tho
Great video! Very detailed. I big chopped 2 weeks ago. Let the barber cut it into a short fade. I very big on diet. You are what you eat and your body responds accordingly.

Your hair is gorgeous. Hoping that by my 3 year mark that my hair is as healthy as yours. Thanks for the tips.
And drink half your body weight in oz of water daily for healthy skin and scalp which will promote hair growth
Ms Reno that can help too so I've heard. lol probably should drink more
Ms Reno girrrrl I weigh 130 that's like 1040 ounces of water. A day😭
Laeree Gordy 😂😂
Hell nah thats too much water
You'd bd peeing so much!
The thing that really grows my hair is extensions
Same. Or wearing braids.
Braids grow out my hair
Mbxby1 Same but makes it shed as well.
Shon9tilR once i made sure i kept my hair moisturized that stopped... mist away with an oil and water mix like 2x daily with braids and once every other day with a leave in spray.
Lol
Okay C-Aaliyah I see you with all the length and clear skin and nice eyebrows 😭😍😍😍😍😍💖 The jealousy 😭

Another tip ! scalp massaging is very good too !
yesyesyes!!!
Ruth BERNADEL I've heard that helps but I'm lazy lmao. My boyfriend rubs my scalp all the time so I'm sure he's helping me 😭
Yes and I hang over the bed so that I can get the blood flowing that way while I massage.
Yes, I like to use Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil for this. I talk about this in a few videos and genetics information.
Ruth BERNADEL It helps stimulate blood flow
Your hair is beautiful. My hair grows in thickness instead of length.
Who's here in 2019 because Caaliyah (Hazel) said to come here in her updated growth tips video?? 😂
There is absolutely nothing wrong with her voice. It is very pleasant. She's someone trying to help you and you haters could find nothing wrong so you attacked her voice. How Gross!!
Applying Mayonnaise: wash hair with whatever shampoo of your choice then applying the mayo from roots to end, put a bonnet on let stay on for 10-15mins (plastic bonnet will do) and then rinse out w/Luke warm water..and then apply regular condition just to break the smell of the mayo..and any kind of mayo works fine...what mayo do is put the protein back into your hair, it changes your texture...use at least once a month or as often as you choose and research it b/c you try it a lot of older African Americans women have did this over the years
Hair mayonnaise or just any regular mayo?
Your hair is so healthy and pretty
Well said! Get to know your own hair,every one hair is different.
I would always pack my hair with oils and it would always sit on my hair... Thanks for this video 😭❤
Nice growth you got in 3 years! I'm on my second big chop and I'm trying to speed up my hair growth this time. So far I'm doing great but I'm always looking to learn other techniques.
I'm a guy. And believe it or not. I just use Murray's Pomade. I slick it down with a soft brush, throw on a durag, and wash my hair 3 times a month. Although genetics might play a part in it because I have cut it bald several times and have grown a decent Afro within a year.
Cowashing is great esp if you are using beneficial ingredients. I like Barry Fletcher Growth Creme. Its like Vicks without any vaseline. Massage in hair about twice a week. It speeds up growth
I really enjoyed your videos, just subscribed. You’re so real and informative!
For the first time in my whole life, my hair is all natural, I just chopped off the relaxed hair, it’s short but seems like it’s growing fast. Thank you for all of the tips!
Wow congrats my hair grew from hair affinity it's works but your hair looks great for only 3 years going natural
I love your hair videos. Please continue to inspire us kinky curly naturals. Your hair is beautiful. I like yourself do not do fully protective styles by choice. But i do twist outs that I only manipulate one time a week. It helps in retaining length next to fully protecting hair. Thank you for taking the time to share and demo new products. Xoxoxox
My moisture usually stays until I am ready to wash again so I do not much throughout the week but style. Drinking a lot of water and taking natures maid vitamins not the gummies has helped me too. I don't like to use too much product or taking too much time out of my week so once a day out of the week or every 2 weeks (prolly Saturday) my regimen is:
Short version:
Deep treatment
Shampoo
Leave in conditioner/moisturizer
Seal in oils
Scalp
Style
- In Depth
Deep treatment:
Egg,
Msm (can make you sensitive to alcohol),
Castor oil,
Coconut oil (not that much)
Almond oil,
I want to include Jojoba oil and argan oil once I buy it
After my treatment (max 1-2 hours leave in) I usually shampoo with Creme of nature argan oil but now I'm trying Maui coconut milk shampoo.
Then I don't use regular wash conditioner I come out the shower and use a leave in spray conditioner because I already conditioned and wash conditioners tend to bother the result of my deep treatment (I usually like spray conditioners/moisturizers not creamed ones):
I used to used Creme of nature leave in spray but for some reason it stopped working for me and now the almond milk carols daughter is really good also the curls lavish moisturizer leave-in works.
I usually seal with castor oil and almond oil then use the virgin hair fertilizer on my scalp sometimes with an oil. (If I will straighten my hair this part of them regimen doesn't exist instead I use silk elements mega silk heat protectant spray and its Ah-mazing!) and then I style.
For my edges every other night for about 2-3 weeks, I did mix garlic, castor oil and almond oil. That worked! It does have a scent bc of the garlic. Do not put too much garlic and do not use it in the morning, throughout the night the scent goes away for me anyway.
The vitamins are called Nature Made, not Nature Maid because they are more natural that other types of vitamins.
Your hair is fabulous. I think hair grows about 1/2" per month so if your ends are taken care of 6" a year is possible. I don't cowash, no oil sealing.
Love this video
I also started my youtuber channel after growing my hair to my hips
Keep it going girl
Girls changing the world
I remember following you on Pinterest when you did your big chop your hair has grown so fast !!!
i have to say , in my teenager generation(byracial, Germany 80is90is ) it was all about perm and braids. I never had long hair to the shoulders, i wished though. Im glad a lot of black girls and woman realize the beauty of our curly hair. Im sure if we take care of our hair we can be really proud of. I never realized how awesome our hair is until These days and im doing everything to make them grow, thank you so much for the inspiration 😚Godblessyou
I loved all these tips I will add some of these to my own wash day routine and to my own channel and I can’t wait until this video gets a million views you deserve it 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Loved this video! Totally agreed with your tips. Your videos actually helped me to grow out my hair .. so thank you !! ❤️
I always tell people who ask how it grew so fast that I did nothing because in that many years thats normal for me..even before relaxed...if you're still rocking a TWA after 2/3 years there is something else going on or thats just your natural growth span. They have to compare how it grew before to now because everyone is different and nobody can duplicate someones exact processes to know if thats what worked for them. Your hair is beautiful!!
This is my second big chop. I was natural for 4 years and relaxed. Just did my second big chop in March of this year (2017) but I have been so lazy this time around and my hair growth shows it.
I have watched this video twice, it is very informative. Now I realize we are geographically in the same climate. Keep it up Queen 💚proud of you in so many ways.
Thanks for video. Great tips.....i finally got a silk press and trim. Only once a year is good for me. But because I lived in Vegas 3 yrs (extreme heat) had to find ways to keep my curls/phro moisturized. Now I'm on the East Coast, lol. Yeah I move every few years. And there is way more moisture here, so I will have to see how this goes. All in all, how one takes care of their body, and environment, products etc. All play a part in one's goals... been natural/ no perm or relaxer since mid 2012.
Your Afro tho 😩😍😍 #HairGoals
What's a good deep conditioner for 4c hair. My hair grows in thickness but not length, can anyone give me tips please? Thanks!😊
Kameron Stansbury do the banding method I promise you will get length..my hair grows the same way
Aussie moist is good
Same here my hair grows thick but I don't see length and most deep conditioners break off my hair as well as coconut oil
Tammy Waters do you mean like adding hair bands to stretch it out ? If so thanks
Kameron Stansbury use some honey and conditioner and whatever oils it will be so soft n moisturized after. Whipped shea butter and aloe vera does miracles to moisture
What on earth CAN'T black women who comb their hair understand there! your natural hair is just incredibly beautiful!!!!!!
Avembe Nah! Not all natural hair is beautiful. 4c hair is the worst. Take it from me especially when it's thin and skrinks to like half an inch and them combing is worst. The curls are so tight your head hurts when combing. As I said natural is not always beautiful. 😠😠😠
Nam BI TET Tamare Just because you dont like YOUR hair doesnt mean 4c hair isnt absolutely gorgeous. I mean , look at Igbo curls, Efficiently natural, chadel mathurin ,nappy headed jojoba, craving curly kinks etc.etc.!
Nam BI TET Tamare
Sorry but that's your opinion and I can respect that but 4c hair is da bomb. There is an African chic on UA-cam called WestAfricanBaby or something like that and her 4c hair is gorgeous and on point. Better than any 3c, 4a, 4b natural I've ever seen. And the buns she puts her hair in, are simply amazing! It's like 4c hair was made for beautiful coiffures!
I think a lot of 4c's who haven't quite figured out how their hair works and what it needs feel the way you do. Plus you gotta deal with all these 3c and 4a folks out here in your face 24/7 constantly making videos and being worshipped. I can almost say without a doubt, had you been back in the 70s during what I call the "real natural hair movement" you would love your 4c hair and feel superior about it. I'm from the tail end of that era and here's a tip...go back to that old school stuff....it works better than any of this organic, sulfate free, silicone free stuff we have today in my opinion.
I'm talking Sta Soft Fro and Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion. I keep bottles of these on hand and I can't be bothered with all that defining my coils mess. Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Lotion, then I dry comb my hair, then hit it with some Sta Soft Fro spray and I look like I've been hand picked out of a vintage 1970s catalog! Did I mention how moisturizing both are??
Nam BI TET Tamare Lol I have 4b/4c hair and I never struggled with combing. That’s just your hair speak for yourself
Lizzie Beth any other old school product? I'm trying to grow my hair the old way
Im transitioning and weighing on doing the big chop or waiting it out but ur videos are just so inspiring❤️keep doing what u doing Hazel. 😌
Opssss sorry, I wrote the oils name but I didn't write how to put it on your hair,lol after you mix the oils together in a bowl massage your scalp for like 10 minutes and put some on your ends.Put a plastic cap or plastic bag if you don't have one we don't want our pillow case to be stain with the oils.
Sufer 8 is an awesome grease to grow your hair natural my mom always used this grease and it grew our hair thick and long and she washed our hair every two weeks its not good to wash our hair every week or every day it weakens the hair and don't blow dry all the time neither black hair is beautiful people envy our culture because we have so many styles we can do our natural hair
I get product buildup easily even though I have a high to medium density. I cleanse my scalp 3x a week and deep condition every time I cleanse. I conditioner wash my hair every day between my wash days because I find my hair is super thirsty and is the softest when I conditioner wash and finger detangle. I just cut my hair in April and again I did at the beginning of this month- it did not seem like I cut my hair at all and I'm surprised how well my hair is responding to this method. Will be making an ayurvedic hair growth oil soon!
Anise Meena you may be doing too manipulation tp your hair
Anise Meena Is your hair short? I wouldn't have all that patience to cowash everyday 🤣 for an extended period of time. That's a lot of deep conditoner, I don't think your hair needs all of that cleansing or products but who am I to say something if it's working.
C RD I did the same. It's called moisture training.
Anise Meena you may be getting so much build up on your scalp because it's dry. Try oiling and massaging it every day. I had the same issue not long ago until I found out that my scalp was just over producing sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture.
lol @ people telling you what to do with your hair after you said that that method was working for you
Your hair looks GREAT, I can't take that away from you but if my hair was naturally that curly & defined..it would be down my back too. I think 4c has to work a lot harder because we can't all do the wash & go look..but nice video.
Beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍
Y’all use Shea butter ONLY I’m seeing quick growth
Her Hair is so beautiful. Natural is the best no chemicals....
You and I do the exact same thing. That's one of the things I discuss on my channel, stay away from heat (I blow dry twice a year as well), deep condition your hair weekly and moisturize.
Your hair is soooooooo pretty! I love it!
I’m 13 right now I only wore crochet when I was 7 Nd’ I been natural my whole life Nd’ when I was 10 I had a tremendous amount of hair Nd’ now my hair donteven go back my neck. Nd’ I’m trying everything even thought I’m 12 years natural 😭😭😩
Your hair has grown out really thick and NICE!
My girl put Teedra Moses song in the vid yaaaaas honey. "And I wonder if you even notice me" 🎶 🎤
She is so beautiful 😍😍😍
Shinkur Liboch part 176
girl do not put heat do braiding or keep it curly heat will DESTROY this particular texture becareful or just usr this blowout to do box braids havanna twists a protective style
Kadija Somaya when ppl say they wanna straighten it i suggest roller sets! Indirect heat is always best!
beau knows88 exactly that us the best way to put heat but if she continues to do blow drying even if its for once a month her hair will break off slowly
Kadija Somaya I only blow dry my hair once or twice a year lol
Kadija Somaya i dont think she does this monthly lol...
you see how her hair looks now.. healthy and long so I don't really thinks she needs this advice lol she's been using heat and it her hair seems to be okay lol
I shampoo once permonth. Co wash once permonth as well. I might only need to co wash for now. I switch from creamy leave in. To spray leave in. Spray leave in, there's so much less product build up. Also slow down on the gels and grease. They build up on the hair very fast.
Loving da natural sistas ❤️ keep da faith baby
My hair have the thickness but no length why is that?
No hate just a joke but in the first pics you can see the way your eyebrows evolved too 😂😂😂
Sapphire Mazie 😹😹😹
How do you get your braidout to last so many days?
Brianna Richardson ua-cam.com/video/3vYS0HhEgjQ/v-deo.html
Thank you
Brianna Richardson whenever I do a braid out I have to braid every night ;-;
Well said! I appreciate you for relaying those Tips! Looking forward to your next video.😊
I needed this video. I feel like my hair only grows in braids and it's nice to have tips because I'm starting a natural journey and I'm so confused on what to buy and what to do with it.
Love this video ❤️❤️ been following your journey for ever
Idk if watched this before but great video but you’re right most of this is personal trial and error
Thank you. When giving tips I make sure to explain that this is what works for me and if you haven’t tried the things I said, definitely try BUT each persons hair journey is trial and error. You have to find what works for your hair. It took me years to get this natural thing right. I went natural in 2012 😑😭
Keep up on cleanse,deep condition mostly. Protein treatments is needed. That's only a few times per year.
Install a style that you know. Will last 3 weeks or more. Two weeks is just not enough. Wanna keep your hands outta your head. Oh and heat ... Big killer there. Dk what to expect with that.
Especially with flat iron and hot comb.
Both cause heat damage, no matter what. Have a whole routine and still doesn't protect. One day that routine is pointless. That's how heat damage come about.
You are so sweet. I am happy your hair gre out. good and simple viedo and very detailed information. Thank you for sharing your information. yYou are correct. Moisturizing you hair is the main key
Is JBCO really good for the scalp when trying to grow hair? I'm natural and my hair has been thinning. Or is Wild Growth better?
Wild growth
Question: How many months of growth did you have when you big chopped (first picture)? That should be included in how long you've been growing your hair.
Beautydivine it is included in how long I've been growing my hair. I went natural (stopped using texturizer) nov 1, 2014 but didn't big chop til 2015. Some people don't consider themselves natural until they big chop but I consider it when you stop using perms etc and grow it naturally.
I explain it all in my natural hair journey video.
Your hair is so beautiful and healthy. Thanks for your advice!
My hair is long and it’s thick but for some reason even though it’s thick it doesn’t look as thick as yours which is confusing to me maybe shrinkage any tips?
6 inches in a year? Idk that tripped me out, ive literally been expecting half an inch every month since you said that but i get about an inch a month girl get that doogrow
I don't seal my hair either. I've found that oil makes my scalp itch and does absolutely nothing to my actual hair other than just make it greasy.
Have you tried light oils like sweet almond oil or jojoba oil because I found that medium or thick oils like coconut oil or castor oil. Leaves my hair greasy.
How do you deep condition weekly with braids or twists that last for weeks?
Her voice is so cute!
What color you use in your hair on this Video
I wonder what her hair was like as a child? Did she have long hair??
I think my hair likes liquid n cream or a creamy leave n conditioner.
Girl bye u need to stop your a mixed mutt black is beautiful love 😘 your natural beauty and use tea tree oil
How did you take care of your hair when it was short?????
Ida Murray I didn't take care of my hair when it was shorter. I used cheap rinse out conditioners and did wash and gos like everyday. Wore wigs. Straightened it. Whatever I could do for it to look descent. I didn't start taking care of it until almost a year into my journey.
Hazel Goddesss k
Hazel Goddesss ....do you find it also depends on what we eat & drink as well?
BlackMadonna HEIRLOVE yes water helps a lot and I think if you eat more fruit and veggies that it will help also.. it's just the same with skin
I agree
I loveee Watching your UA-cam videos its very helpful for me since I'm transitioning natural hope my hair grow like yours 😍😍✨💁🏽
thank you for these tips!!!
Lovely hair thanks for sharing !!!
omg it's so fluffy *faints due to awesomeness
Love that you keep it real.
You are my voice twin! Your hair is very pretty.
How do you get your twist outs to last for 7 days? Mine honestly lasts a day, two days max, three if im super lucky.
The more Sulphur you have in your body makes hair grow faster,
She got good hair anyway so not hard for her hair to grow
Thanks for the information. Will try and work it out, you're awesome.
Like, the frenzy style like in the beginning of the video. It needs to stick up at the top a little.
I watch your videos every day and I love your hair it’s so puffy I wish I was feeling it right now
Omg your hair is GORGEOUS
I have 4b /4c hair, and my twist outs NEVER stay in for more than 2 days. does anyone have any tips for me keeping/maintaining the curls?
simply samone 4 small pineapples lasts for 5 -7 days depending how my hair acts. I have 4b/ 4c hair
I'll be coming up on my 2 year mark in December it has grown so much
Genetics
