    I’m going to tell you the TRUTH! #naturalhairgrowth #naturalhair
    Watch until the end as I’m going to be letting you into my top tips for achieving hair growth goals quicker!
    *MOISTURE 🚿
    •Dry hair is MUCH more prone to breakage.
    *STRETCH 🕺🏾
    •Keeping your hair stretched prevents it from our worst enemy:TANGLES. Tangles = Breakage = No length retention.
    *DETANGLE 🌀
    •Do this with care, take your sweet time, if you do not have time to do your hair, don’t do it!! Detangling too harshly breaks your hair off literally!
    *PROTECT 💆🏾‍♀️
    •If you’re anything like me, I get very bored and tired of my natural hair, and to do both of us a favour I will braid her up for a month or so because whilst my hair is braided up I’m not touching it, it is not being manipulated so there is absolutely no chance for breakage.
    *EAT WELL 🥘
    •Our hair, just like our skin and nails will only blossom if we are eating all the correct nutrients for hair growth. If you are deficient in the building blocks, it’s going to be difficult for your body to prioritise growing healthy hair!

      @@beautystarshiine2542 since January of this year I’ve been keeping my hair in 14 twists. I do not wear weave, and I wash my hair once a week, every Sunday. I never take the twists out all at once, and wash my hair in the twists. I use the Aussie moist shampoo/conditioner. I retwist after washing them by taking one twist down at a time and twisting it back up then move on to the next twist. I do not use combs, I finger detangle. I only use two products. The argon oil scalp conditioner grease, and the green eco style gel for styling. I grease my scalp the day of wash day and one more time throughout the week. I only use the gel for the base of the twists. I treat my twists as if they’re locs, never taking them down all at once, only one by one to retwist. I have not worn my hair out of these twists since probably the ending of last year. Not using a comb, and keeping my hair twisted going on 11 months this month has tremendously helped with hair health, and growth. I also sleep with a satin scarf on and put a bonnet over it to ensure nothing comes off throughout the night. I hope this helps you, or someone with hair health and length retention.

    In my country, specially in my culture, curly hair has never been appreciated. Therefore, I grew up straightening my hair all of my life. I straightened my hair nonstop for 17 years. Every time I cut my hair, I would want to take care of it, but using heat would get the best of me. Then, during quarantine, I got really bad anxiety from AP tests and the only thing that would help me relax was to cut my hair myself, so I did. But this time I decided to educate myself on how to take care of my hair and not use heat until my hair was completely healthy. It's been a year since, and it has been great. I do my own trims, oils and hair masks as well as scalp massages have become my best friends and I try to stick to them as much as possible. Now I'm just trying to improve my diet. UA-cam has been the greatest guide tbh. Thank you for sharing your hair journey.

    I used to think my setbacks stemmed from using heat, but they really stemmed from waiting too long to wash my hair, and not trimming what needed to be trimmed! Staying away from heat means nothing if you let split ends run unchecked. I now try to wash my hair before 4 weeks, ideally 3 weeks. My mom can go 6 weeks but that’s the danger zone for me where i start to see dryness and breakage. I keep my hair stretched with blow outs and braid outs now and my hair is happier than ever. It’s all about avoiding tangles, making detangling easier, and any time the ends start to look or feel crazy, i chop them! I’ve always had thick hair but it’s another level now with density all the way to my ends which is my fave look

    My hair is almost at waist length (4a, 4b texture). I've been growing it out for 6 years now, and my starting point was a small afro that didn't touch my shoulders. I've been having a little setback with heat damage for a year now, but I'm slowly cutting it out. For the most part my hair is very healthy.
    My biggest tip to add is: when you're not happy with the length yet, don't obsess over it. And don't put yourself in a position where you can obsess over it. Focus on other things.
    I remember when I used to watch hair journeys everyday before bed, obsessing over my hair. Looking in the mirror literally several times a day to check the length, and then not being happy with the way it looked. And as a result being too impatient to love and care for my hair.
    The second I started wearing wigs (without leave out), I couldn't obsess over it anymore, because my hair was tucked away. After two years my hair grew longer than it had ever been (I would say bra strap length, stretched). And that's when I could really love my hair again and started to take good care of it.
    So if you are not able to really love on your hair the way it is right now, that's okay. Just tuck it away and focus on other things. It will grow and your connection to your hair will definitely change. Which will also change how well you want to take care of it.

    Currently working through getting rid of all my split ends and growing back some breakage at the crown of my head. Didn't have anyone to do my natural hair for a long time and split ends grew up the shaft and split more making my hair very fragile and even more thin. I've been getting trims every 4 months and leaving my hair in mostly cornrows, keeping it moisturized, protein treatments and my scalp moisturized and giving it a good cleanse especially after taking braids down and that seems to be helping. Slowly seeing it move past my shoulders, which Is the length it has been stuck at for the past 7 years maybe.

Another thing I learned is that our hair needs discipline and consistency. If you start slacking with your hair, it will show and your hair won’t wait for you. It will reap the fruits of neglect and you’ll have to keep dealing with it and start again. That’s the hardest thing to achieve, but it’s possible if you mind your business, stay focused and do what makes you happy too.

    loving the video, i definitely had a big set back with my crown, its broke off and i was freaking out that i had to cut ALL my hair off and my hair at the time was mid back length, but i thought why not restart a crown hair journey then so I've been grown it out for 3to4 years and its pass my collarbone getting close to armpit length. I've learn that i have to moisturize my hair more often than i was doing at the time.

    That’s very accurate actually. It took me about 4-5yrs to officially reach waist length hair.
    However my hair was a half relaxed half natural, because I was growing it out instead of doing a big chop.
    So eventually when I cut it, my natural hair was above shoulder length and I had bangs (I cut it myself pretty badly)

    Finally some honest, no BS and realistic tips. I'm relaxed but most of your tips apply as well. My struggle is retaining length at my nape area as not only hair on that part grows slower than the rest but is also thinner and more fragile.
    You're also right about health. My hair broke off badly before I discovered the issue was iron deficiency.

    Thank you for this information, as I have been on this journey for about 5-6 years. I have seen a lot of growth and thickness at times, but, for whatever reason when it begins to grow longer down my back. It starts to think out on the ends. I have trimmed my ends, and it may grow more, but it's always thin.
    I know I have multiple types on my hair, as my hair is very curly at the base of my hair shaft, super straight on top, tight curly, and very dry around the edges and knap of my neck. I noticed when I would use the hair oils, I saw growth and it seemed as if the texture was changing around the edges, but the top part of my hair stayed straight. No matter what curly cream or leave-in conditioner I use, it still stays straight. I am exhausted using various hair care products, I'm frustrated, as I recently did just what you said don't do regarding detangling without allowing it to be wet with detangling cream or oils. I broke it off extremely bad, and now I'm left with almost all my growth damaged or gone. It looks really bad and very sad.
    So, I am going on this train one more time after viewing several of your videos, as your hair is extremely beautiful and very healthy. I am trying not to get tired, as I never could wear perms. I wash my hair, keep it moisturized, but I don't wash it weekly and only deep conditioner it once a month. I am going to try your five points, so any suggestions would be nice.
    Thank you again, I appreciate you and your advice!
    Take care of that beautiful baby and your family. Much continued success on your journey and your businesses.
    Stay safe and healthy out there!

    When will people realize that your height can determ the length of your hair too? I am 5'1 and my hair got past armpit length within one year. I had shaved my head, and then made it to armpit in a year. Plus, genetics play a part too.

      How do you know that genetics plays a part in how much hair one can grow?? It seems like a smart thing to say but it really makes no sense. There's no: only grow this long gene.lol. The texture is genetic, the length, how would one even know such a gene exists. If anything, the texture is also controlled by environmental factors as all of my babies and I have seen many black babies born with straight hair, did their genetics change? No. Their environment changed and that changed the condition of your hair. What you eat and what you put on your hair and how you treat it determines this.

    My biggest set back was wearing wigs while not really taking care of my hair underneath. Once my hair plateaued I never got trims so never retained length. Now I see a professional hair care person wearing protective styles after big chop in March and I’ve experience so much growth I’m shocked. I realize I need to get my hair done. Doing it myself wasn’t it. So I’m dedicated to my beautician. She trims very small most times and I’m retaining length since feb I have at least 4inc growth. No cap.
    I’ll be protective styling in btwn wearing big feed in braids in cornrows specifically for the next 2-3 years. If any one in Brooklyn I recommend Ruthie of Brooklyn crown. I’ve seen her take hair from near bald to waist length through the years. I don’t know what took me so long. I hope mentioning her was ok. New to your channel! New sub.

My curl pattern packed up and left but it ended up being the best thing to happen because I learnt so much more about how to really care for my hair and the amazing world of ayurvedic products and learned how to make my own oils and deep conditioners.

    Literally just consistency, understanding your porosity and styling/using products accordingly, and staying ahead of hair dryness will grow your hair. This video is so helpful. I was always natural, only straightened or permed my hair like 3 times in my whole life. But I started doing my own natural in 2016 and didnt know wtf I was doing lmao...I started with shoulder length hair but by 2019 I had lost like 2 inches. My biggest setback was absolutely washing only every 2-4 weeks as well as not know how to detangle my hair and leaving my roots tangled leading to MASSIVE breakage. So now I definitely don't mind if it takes me close to an hour to detangle cuz I end up with *no* breakage. I big chopped for a second time in sept 2020 (to pretty much bald). As of july 2022 my hair is about 9-11 inches. But always, health over length
