I think that's one of the many benefits of having 4c hair!!!!! That bihh strong and I personally believe that it don't get damage easy. Well at least for me.
Yes our hair can hold protective styles for a long time with minimal damage. I remember when I was 10 I got my first relaxer and my 11 almost all of my hair broke off I was basically bald, but not to the scalp. After that My mom had my hair braided every 2 months and in school people would be like dang when are you taking those braids down like it was even their business. My hair grew back in almost nine months and personally I believe braids are the best for 4c hair as long as we moisturize and sleep with a scarf or bonnet on and our hair is good. With 4c hair people have all these opinions about our hair and they have zero experience with our hair so I just ignore all unsolicited opinions these days and stick to what works for my hair and I think this is pretty good routine for us 4c's with proper maintenance of course. The only thing that has ever damaged my hair is heat and chemicals
I think we have confused what our version of strong hair is. We are told to straighten and tame it and if its not strong in an unnatural state then it is weak. Our natural hair is strong its when we over manipulate it with heat and chemicals that weaken it. My 4c is very strong and I love it
wow never thought. It just goes to show everything isn't for them even tho they like to appropriate our culture while trying to discriminate against us for it.
oh my!! I have 4c hair as well and you are right it doesnt get damaged with protective styles like this. Mine grows great with braids but If i wear my hair out for a while, i notice I dont get the same result, but it seems to love being in braids or something. Great Vid!
Yeah. I feel like my hair looks and feels thinner after a while when it's not in a protective style. I'm going to try 3 month protective styles until my 4c hair reaches my length goal. And I notice that I'm less prone in buying a lot of hair products so it helps me to keep things simple and save money! :)
You should see my friends she leaves hers in for 6 months and when i tell u them frosted flakes from build up be EVERYWHERE when i detangle lawd jesus i told her to not leave them in that long 😂
My 4c hair is strong as hell too. It can handle a lot and it's just like yours. It might look rough once a hairstyle gets really old but when you wash and deep condition it it bounces right back. I personally wouldn't want any other hair type, we can get away with a lot because of the strength of our hair. Thanks for the video
You didn’t have the braids for 3 months though. If you did the braids On February 14, March 14 made one month and April 14 made 2 months. The video was uploaded in April and it would have made 3 months on May 14.
Me too! I have had box braids in going on five week, and he new Growth is substantial. Before that I had crochet in for 2 months my hair grew about 2 inches!! I have 4c hair I struggled with for sooo long because it was sooo dry! I finally learned hair smoothies and the right products. My hair is way longer the second time natural than the first!!! Love you video and info! 😊
Like honestly with 4c hair in braids (well for me) I don't get breakage , and I don't moisturize my hair either until I take down the braids and nothing happens, no breakage or anything except for I need to get my ends trimmed. This is why I only do braids , no maintenance is needed (for me)
same.. my go to protective styles are pretty much anything that has my hair braided up. it literally flourishes. .. i think more so ppl with finer hair textures get breakage because their hair isn't as resilient and as strong
Layah Copeland This could be farthest from the truth I am a mixed carribean very nice fine strong hair that is also curly 3b/c and natural my hair loves box braids, sewin, any braided style and it flourishes.
Maybe marley hair would stay longer, but if your hair can't handle the strain maybe 2 weeks is fine, but I'm such a lazy natural thank goodness my hair can handle the longevity. Protective styling saves lives lol
You can tell you took care of your hair while it was protected with braids. It wasn't dry when you took the braids out. It looked very healthy. My hair loves protective styles too.
I have 3b/c hair and I’m mixed and I wore my box braids for 3 months too and it was easy to wear them and after 3 months my hair was in a super great condition
keep my braids in one month never brush or comb wash weekly rice rinse yogurt hair mask wet daily water bottle has a onion 3 cloves of garlic aloe and a couple drops hot sauce and oil jbco for edges..
I had my box braids in for 7 weeks and just now taking it down. As a kid (12-13) I kept my braids in for 5-6 months and they dreaded up! I cried so hard as my mom was combing and pulling through my hair! Never again 🙅🏽♀️
Welp im coming up on my 1 month and im anxious to see my hair after the 3 months i usually only go about month and crazy hair growth so im excited to see what 3 months will do i also use wild hair growth and black castor oil while my hair is braided soooo yeah looking forward to the growth
I do the exact same thing & I too have 4C hair & have not gotten any damage. The good thing is I do my own hair so I can "neaten" them up myself whenever they get untidy. But I have now been protective styling (braiding my hair up) for about 2 years now & my natural hair id now down my back at about APL. I will continue to do this...
samantha rael that’s a good method you have, but I remove my braids then add oil to the roots and throughout my hair, then I add conditioner to that to loosen up the build up at the roots and I leave that on for 20 minutes - a couple hours (depending on the season and what I’m doing for the day), then I comb all the junk out, wash my hair and do that process again if I haven’t detangled well enough.
You wanna know what say my new growth is with my braids I say the hair gets jealous its not in the braid and it moves out of my scalp so I can put it in the braid
Sarah Prouting I used a combination of water and carrot oil on the braids and my hair and I oiled my scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil with a few drops of tea tree oil mixed in to prevent itchy dry scalp
Girl I’m 4c but for some reason it’s not strong like everyone elses😞 It’s really fine and soft, and takes nothing to straighten it, but it’s in fact 4c
My grandmother always be like why you taking out yo hair so fast I never listen until a day I got that idea to leave it for two months it grows but I end up cutting it cuz it got damaged by perm
Aww braids are a really good protective style so if you cut your hair, it rest for a week or two then get it back braided up. It will definitely keep growing healthy, and stay away from those relaxers! If you want straight hair do like I do, and get a wig lol
My 4c flourishes braided.. I always keep my hair braided especially in box braids and the growth I get is amazing .. But if I leave it out .. It starts to break . no matter how much i moisturize .. Sheesh so I keep ut braided .. And i texturize once a year
I put water, conditioner and carrot oil in a spray bottle and spayed them with that daily. I also washed and conditioned them about once a week and moisturized with olive oil after I washed them.
Oh yes your hair should last for 3 months easily. Wash your braids at night about once a week, moisturize with a spray bottle as much as you can and oil your braids and your hair should be just fine
I normally get a spray bottle and fill it with mostly water and add 10-20 drops of any oil I have, aloe vera juice, conditioner and a few drops of tea tree oil (or any essential oil you have) to keep it fresh. I spray that all over the braids then I will take some shea butter and oil my scalp and braids with that. I also keep my scalp clean by using a mix of a few tea spoons of baking soda and water. And I condition with a few teaspoons of Apple cider vinegar mixed with water. I've also soaked my braids on pink sea salt mixed with water and that made my hair really soft and scalp really clean before I took my last braids out!
I want to do this with my hair, according to my mom I'm post relaxer about four months and yesterday I got a trim. I want to do jumbo box braids and my goal is to leave it in for 3 months starting this month, I don't know if they can last that long though because when my hair gets really loose, sometimes the braids fallout on their own. Any Advice ??
I suggest you use 100% Kanekalon braiding hair because it is more coarse than Xpressions or human braiding hair. Also if your braids slip really bad then I suggest maybe you get a cornrow hairstyle and that will also last for 2-3 months as long as you wash, condition and moisturize your cornrows and also tie them up at night with a scarf to keep them neat looking thru out the months you wear them. And remember this is a protective style so don't worry too much about your hair growing because it will grow :) I guarantee you
I've left braids in for 5 months before and I had to cut them out, but I didn't get a touch up so maybe if you get your perimeter touched up, if you make sure your scalp is clean and braids are well moisturized you probably can stretch them to 5 months. people with locs leave them in all the time so I don't see why it would cause damage as long as you moisturize and don't use a lot of products that would cause build up, because that could cause the braids to loc too and when you take them down be very careful and not rough. I deep conditioned my hair for days after I took my braids down before I even tried to detangle so the buildup would just slip off
yay! congratulations! Being natural can be a job, but as long as you keep your routine simple and have a good shampoo, conditioner and oil you will be fine. Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda is also good for cleansing your scalp and hair while the braids are in. Keeping your hair stretched and in protective styles to protect your ends from knots will promote growth whether you have weave in or not. My hair has grown a lot from keeping my natural hair braided and wearing wigs, because sometimes the braiding weave can cause more dryness and your hair could break from that. Good luck on your journey and its a learning process so enjoy every step 😘
Blac Phoenix thank youuu 😍😍😍 i will keep it up do far so good and relaxers had took my hair out it use to be mid back but nope not anymore so i went natural and thanks again you have answered things i have been worried about truly your a life savor have a nice dayy
I was completely bald in February 2016 so I've retained all of this length and I think my hair could be longer so I'm working on retaining length as well. My favorite youtuber used to be African Export and she is great at retaining 4c hair. She doesn't really make videos anymore, but I think her old ones are still up.
When I was in middle school I used to leave my cornrows in for 3 months and it made my hair grow so fast! I would wear my scarf every night to keep them neat.
Don't be afraid of that :) The braids are going to get "frizzy" over time anyway and personally I think they are more beautiful and natural looking that way ❤
I'm young I don't share my age but anyways my hair was in since august 13 or 12 and now its December 10th so I'm excited to see if the hair grew tomorrow my momma is gonna take em out soon just wanted to share that with u and BTW you have beautiful hair
Jasmine Davis I’m sure it grew lots! It should’ve grown at least 3-4 inches but there will be shedding. Make sure you deep condition your hair right after you take the braid out for 30 minutes to 1 hour then comb all the dead hair out, shampoo, condition again, rinse it out, oil your hair and scalp and hair 🙂
Most non-black people experience hair loss when wearing braids. This is because braids are used as a protective style for black people's natural hair not just a fashion statement. Non-black people are welcome to wear braids however you may more than likely experience hair loss because your hair doesn't need the same styles as our hair just like how black people experience hair loss when we attempt to overly straighten our hair.
awwww you have a great mom 😊my mom would also do the same thing when my hair fell out from not maintaining a relaxer and I find it grows natural hair very fast
oh are you asking about my hair type? There is a chart that will tell you your hair type based on your curl pattern and possible porosity. I know my hair is 4c and the chart is from like 1a-c to 4a-c
I wish I had enough will power to keep my braids in for more than a month . At 3 weeks I start to get annoyed
Ardrena Desmond me too

Do you blow dry the hair before braiding?
That could be a problem.

Keeping braids longer while also taking care of it gives hair less breakage and grow so fast

You got all that growth in 3 MONTHS
You wanna know what say my new growth is with my braids I say the hair gets jealous its not in the braid and it moves out of my scalp so I can put it in the braid
Hey girl what were you moisturizing with 3 times a day ? Just got mine braided today
Sarah Prouting I used a combination of water and carrot oil on the braids and my hair and I oiled my scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil with a few drops of tea tree oil mixed in to prevent itchy dry scalp
wait did you say you moisturized 3/4 times days ? I'm hoping you mean with water . bcuz anything else may be too damaging if you used it that often
there is no such thing as over moisturizing for me. All of our hair is different due to genetics
Blac Phoenix what do you use to moisturize ? Maybe that's the problem ?
lol I don't have a problem with my hair I am just sharing to you guys what works for me
Blac Phoenix ok I understand ,my bad I was just trying to help 😲
I met someone who let braids in for 5 years. Her hair was perfectly fine and never used satin to protect the hair.
carlye hall Wtf
carlye hall no dreads?
Jazzy Jose they are very small braids.
did your hair grow while u had them in braids ?
yes it grew a lot, because of the type of hair I have this is a good way for me to grow my hair
Girl I’m 4c but for some reason it’s not strong like everyone elses😞 It’s really fine and soft, and takes nothing to straighten it, but it’s in fact 4c
kyle marshall your hair strands are fine. It's okay just that you need to be more careful cos it breaks more easily
Or can leaving you hair up for 4 months cause damage? I also spray water on my hair and moisturize it while braided in individual's is that fine?
i keep my braids in for 1-2 months because my t texture hair can’t handle it
Your hair is gorgeous !!! Go Head Healthy 4C
when u cut it into a bob it actually looked cutem
Am going to try it

Aww braids are a really good protective style so if you cut your hair, it rest for a week or two then get it back braided up. It will definitely keep growing healthy, and stay away from those relaxers! If you want straight hair do like I do, and get a wig lol

this is so beautiful. but i have 4a hair so that doesnt give me a good idea of how long to leave them in , but still :)
I'm thinking of getting really small box braids before I deploy for 6 months. hopefully I can keep these in for 3 months
Oh yes your hair should last for 3 months easily. Wash your braids at night about once a week, moisturize with a spray bottle as much as you can and oil your braids and your hair should be just fine
Blac Phoenix thank you!!
How did you moisturize your hair daily
I normally get a spray bottle and fill it with mostly water and add 10-20 drops of any oil I have, aloe vera juice, conditioner and a few drops of tea tree oil (or any essential oil you have) to keep it fresh. I spray that all over the braids then I will take some shea butter and oil my scalp and braids with that. I also keep my scalp clean by using a mix of a few tea spoons of baking soda and water.

And remember this is a protective style so don't worry too much about your hair growing because it will grow :) I guarantee you
Thanks for the advice! I actually had cornrows recently lol so I might stick with the Jumbo braids and have them in for 2 - 2.5 months if possible!
have say when you cut them to just below ears you looked so cute suited you short braids
how do u find out what type of hair texture you have?
Where did you get your background?
amazon :)
Can i leave individual's in for 4 or 5 months? As long as i get a touch up on the 3rd month?
I've left braids in for 5 months before and I had to cut them out, but I didn't get a touch up so maybe if you get your perimeter touched up, if you make sure your scalp is clean and braids are well moisturized you probably can stretch them to 5 months. people with locs leave them in all the time so I don't see why it would cause damage as long as you moisturize and don't use a lot of products that would cause build up, because that could cause the braids to loc too and when you take them down be very careful and not rough. I deep conditioned my hair for days after I took my braids down before I even tried to detangle so the buildup would just slip off
Blac Phoenix you answered my question veryyy well thank uu

Are you able to retain the length you've grown? That's often the hard part for many.

My favorite youtuber used to be African Export and she is great at retaining 4c hair. She doesn't really make videos anymore, but I think her old ones are still up.
But i have corrows. I'll be taking them out march 25 2019
When I was in middle school I used to leave my cornrows in for 3 months and it made my hair grow so fast! I would wear my scarf every night to keep them neat.
I believe corrows grow your hair faster . Mines never could last in elementary
My hair is 4a, and does well in braids also
It’s 2 months if It was in February
I know right
I leave mine in for only 2 weeks 3 at the most 😵

Jasmine Davis I’m sure it grew lots! It should’ve grown at least 3-4 inches but there will be shedding. Make sure you deep condition your hair right after you take the braid out for 30 minutes to 1 hour then comb all the dead hair out, shampoo, condition again, rinse it out, oil your hair and scalp and hair 🙂
My hair was very long then I used extensions and braided it when I took it out after 1 week my hair was much shorter what happened 😭
Most non-black people experience hair loss when wearing braids. This is because braids are used as a protective style for black people's natural hair not just a fashion statement. Non-black people are welcome to wear braids however you may more than likely experience hair loss because your hair doesn't need the same styles as our hair just like how black people experience hair loss when we attempt to overly straighten our hair.
@@BlacPhoenix half carabean but ok💖thank you
I have 3c 4a I wish I had thicker like 4c but it’s close enough
Get smaller braids so they'll look better and last better
I thought the intro was a commercial
You have a very pretty face & your hair is beautiful.
Deb c thank you 🙏🏾 😌
Blac Phoenix thank you for subscribing to my channel. I subscribe too
is the build up dandruff?
Its more than likely oil, conditioner, and gel caught in the hair that would normally shed daily.
why not get locks so that it looks natural
