Thank you so much for addressing in advance the people who dismiss everything as genetics. I have type 3 hair that was NEVER long. Then a few years ago when I learned techniques from other cultures and my hair started growing and looking thicker…family would ask me what I was doing. When I would try and tell them…they would end up cutting me off and saying that it was too much to do and I just have “good hair”. Mind you…these are the same people who have known me for years and know that I never had long hair before (not even as a child). I guess you can’t save everyone.
Yup i go through the same thing. when my hair was short and started growing faster (i was keeping the length faster) people i know would ask for tips but as soon as my hair grew past shoulder length they said it's just genetics. it only affects them though so we shall keep learning 💖
You can't save everyone. Some people just aren't willing to do the needful. Our hair to be honest does take a lot of work compared to straight hair, but the rewards fir doing so are beyond belief. Thanks for your story people need to hear it.
My boyfriend is Hawaiian and I am Native American Cherokee Both cultures embrace long hair it's the custom not to cut it Every female in his family has butt length hair Coconut milk used as a deep.conditiona Coconut water used as a spritz and Rice water as well He makes a cocoanut avacado cinnamon banana mask for my hair as a deep conditioner It's amazing
Coconut milk mixed with Aloe Vera is really good for your hair. I have tried plus mixing it with honey as well. coconut milk is a natural hair conditioner.
I grew up using henna on my hair and then a few years ago I began using coconut milk with a scoop of henna powder mixed into it and sometimes with some honey. It helped me grow my hair down to my waist. I cut it off to above my shoulders at the beginning of 2020. I want to grow it back out now, I miss my long hair. Another thing you can do is buy a shower filter. If you live somewhere with hard water it can damage and dry your hair over time.
Hawaii is a part of the Polynesian triangle. I’m Tongan and also consider Polynesian. It is a cultural thing for the women to keep their hair long not just for the looks. There are certain occasions that they will have to cut it. Especially when one’s father pass away. Yes, we use coconut and kukui oil a lot but we also get it from the islands. Keep them in braids, bun or just leave it out. And of course minimal hair straightening routine with all type of chemicals. Very bad for the hair.
Am madly love in coconut milk ,I used it in every single regimen, its so wonderful I have curly 2b 3a 3b,my hair adore it I used it for insane growth, mixed with ginger,Aloe vera,olive oil,castor oil, one egg and a few drops of tea tree essential oil, it regrow Alopecia, I love coconut milk its my best friend after fenugreek Thanks you so much Angela 🙏 💓 Much appreciated you explanation
Great info. I have type 4 hair and do a prepoo before I shampoo my hair. In a blender I blend a super ripe avocado, banana, couple tablespoons olive oil and honey and an egg. Leave it in for 1 hour then shampoo and condition. That's my pamper me time and it makes my hair super manageable and soft.
Thank you, your videos are interesting and informative. I like them. I have got thick hair and since leaving it natural, no colouring , it just seems to grow and grow. My grandmother was Indian and had beautiful long straight hair . It was always in a plait. My older sister still remembers how my grandmother and late mother used to massages our scalps and bodies. Thank you for sharing. I was born in South Africa, mixed , 12 different nationalities. An eloquent speaker you are.😍😊
You always have a different take on growing Natural Hair and I ❤️ that about your videos. I’ve used coconut milk before mixed with different herbs and it makes the hair really soft. Please give us a recipe!! 🤩
Thank you for your introduction!! God bless you beautiful melanated Queen! Gods child I watched another video of another melanated female talking about hair care ( my hair is naturally curly and so dry and freezy and i get the best advice from other cultures) and this "white" girl left a nice comment and she got a couple of rude replies asking why she was there.. people can be very self absorbed and close minded. Thank you ❤
Wow... I have been watching your videos for a long time, I'm glad to learn you're from Zambia... Daughter of our soil, I love you more now just so you know ♥.
Great video! ☺️I tried coconut milk and it loosened my hair texture. I think if you have thin hair like mine I would only do it every 6 months or yearly.
@Mel C I section my hair and added it in layers (high fat coconut milk). Then put a shower cap on for an hour or two (Deep conditioning method). My hair ended being straight with looser curls,and after researching it is a natural hair straightener.
My great grandmother has waist length hair and does nothing to grow it. Grandma has long hair. Mama cuts her hair but it keeps growing with no wk. Here I am with upper back length hair that I had to wk 6 yrs for. So here i am to learn 🤗
probably your grandma doesnt touch her hair and style it every now and then you think that is nothing but the truth is that is everything her hair isnt breaking as much its like people with dreadlocks. that is called protective style and if you can do that you will swe ahuge sifference plus no stress i guarantee you success
@@virendavictoria5174 You're so right. She wears her hair in a bun under a turban all the time. My mother never touches her hair either she just does henna treatments. I'm used to bleach my hair ALOT then shaved it off a couple times. Praying for the best now 🤗
GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY 👪 MY DARLING, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS IN HELPING US TO GROW OUR HAIR LONG AND HEALTHY ,SO YOU ARE REALLY AN AFRICAN THANK YOU SHALOM
I'm Cook Island and love Tahiti monoi oil, tiare tipani frangipani is my favourite. I use this as body lotion and hair especially after showers or bath for my daughter she has very curly hair.
My family is from Puerto Rico, and we have the coarse curls, but I have started using this shampoo and conditioner called Maui. Omg, it has the kakui oil in it, but first ingredient is aloe. Amazing. I have started doing straight aloe masks (sometimes mixed with coconut oil) 2x a month along with the aloe/kakui oil hair products and my curls are fabs. I remembered you saying keep trying new things until you find what your hair loves, and for sure, aloe and coconut oil did it. I finally saw hair growth! Thank you so much for sharing your insight. I always learn so much.
This was quite informative. Thank you for sharing your information. Coconut milk, avocado 🥑, banana and cooked rice well blended until smooth this conditioner has been a game changer for my dry hair. Or if I'm lazy, I'll just add some Coconut milk to a conventional conditioner for extra moisture and it also helps 😉. Tips I learned from UA-camr "Back2naturalgirls" .
i had an okay length of long hair but nothing to series but i am not nice to my hair i use to straighten (and still do from time to time) and tie it up but seeing some if these videos makes me think i should have more respect for my hair
No we don’t use professional scalp scratching or products to grow hair or protect hair from sun. No one can afford that in the islands - at least common people. I’m Pacific Islander. It just grows like that - long and thick whatever the diet and products.
So, I’m Hawaiian and I’m just gonna be honest with you… we don’t do ANY of the things you mentioned in your video. All of those things are just lies created by people who were marketing hair products and exploiting Hawaiians because we have long hair. We used coconut water hundreds of years ago as a natural shampoo, but we’ve been using regular old commercial shampoo for over a hundred years now and our hairs still long. We never did scalp brushing, or used kukui for hair growth, we OCCASIONALLY used kukui to get tangles out of our hair sometimes but it has nothing to do with hair growth, it was to get tangles out… we don’t have professional scalp massagers, again that’s just companies exploiting our culture to make themselves money, like Paul Mitchell, who is IMO the biggest offender of doing this when it comes to Hawaiian “hair products” or at least he’s the original offender. Anyone who is Hawaiian (as opposed to the many Asians and Caucasians who live here) can attest to the fact that we (as you mentioned for yourself) could not do scalp brushes because it would tangle our hair… girl I’ve broken brushes trying to brush my hair out, ain’t no way I could do a scalp brushing lol. We didn’t think of protecting our scalp and skin. We didn’t eat healthy so we would have long hair, we just ate healthy because colonizers hadn’t brought over unhealthy diets yet, our diet was natural back then, but now (for over 100 years) that we’ve been heavily exposed to an unhealthy “western diet” we don’t eat healthy anymore and our hairs still long. If you want the truth of why our hairs long, it’s because our hair is natural. We don’t use products on our hair, we don’t really die or bleach our hair, we just let it be, it’s casual here, people don’t fuss with their hair like they do elsewhere… we just throw it up in a bun and start our day. I can’t think of anything we do that makes our hair long… maybe because Hawai’i (& elsewhere in Polynesia) is humid that helps to keep our hair moisturized? Maybe the salt in the air from the ocean does something? Maybe swimming in the ocean frequently helps? I don’t know, but we’re not actively doing anything to make our hair long. I’ve NEVER done anything you’ve mentioned and I don’t know anyone who does any of that… yet my hair is waist length (it was past my butt but I cut it 2 or 3 weeks ago). Honestly, I don’t really understand what people mean when they talk about our hair being so long, we just leave our hair alone and it grows… is that not the case with everyone else??? I’m not saying that to be rude, I’m genuinely curious, does other peoples hair stop growing at a certain length? Does it break?
As a Mexican/White woman married into a Hawaiian family with happa babies Hawaiian hair is thick and strong. The strands are like rope compared to Mexican and white textures. Our hair snaps and frays under half the pressure and environmental conditions. The cuticle is very thick and tightly sealed to withstand saltwater and the Hawaiian diet plays a huge role. Even when colonized food ruined the healthy diet allot of the foods on the islands are very nutritional for hair growth. The woman and men in my family do fuss over their hair. They have taught me recipes the eat and use topically to strengthen and grow my hair. One uncle has better hair than everybody and says it's cause he only uses homemade shampoo. Although no one in the family uses coconut and says it's even drying to the hair. Life style is a huge part too. Going hunting, getting sweaty, gardening and even hanging out together are all things that improve the skin and hair.
@@amandaswanson2417 Neither papaya, guava nor banana are native to Hawai’i, all of those were brought over by colonizers/plantation owners, so I’m sorry to contradict you (even though you did so to me) but those are definitely not part of our culture as a hair growth treatment (or in any regards) because they haven’t been here that long & therefore our ancestors were not using them. I’m going to assume your husband is not pure blooded Hawaiian (100%), he likely doesn’t even have much Hawaiian ancestry at all, if any & the hair treatments his family is using were introduced from the other ethnicities he is mixed with, possibly the Philippines, as I’ve seen filipinos use hair treatments containing fruits quite frequently before, but again, I’ve never seen Hawaiians or any Polynesians do so & considering I’m Hawaiian, Samoan and Tahitian and you’re not Polynesian at all, I’m going to have to say I’m a more credible source on MY peoples history and traditions than someone who isn’t Polynesian. As for diet, unless someone lives on Moloka’i or Ni’ihau (the smaller & less populated islands) the overwhelming vast majority of people are eating a western diet, they aren’t hunting and gardening, anyone who lives here, Hawaiian or otherwise, or anyone who has moved here or even visited here, can attest to that… no one has time for that on the more populated islands (where 95% of the population lives), everyones too busy working multiple jobs just to barely scrape by because of outsiders moving here & raising the cost of living. The only hunting and gardening being done is as a hobby in whatever spare time we have, not to supplement our diet, those days are LONG gone for most people & that is why Hawai’i is infamous for being reliant on imports, because we don’t hunt and garden. So even if we factor in nutrition on small sparsely populated islands, the fact that most people are eating a western diet yet still have long hair, proves it’s not something in our diets. Also I have family on both Moloka’i and Ni’ihau where my family hunts and gardens and no one in my family does any hair treatments… and I’ve always been known for having the longest, thickest, hair in my entire family (including extended family obviously), despite growing up on O’ahu & Maui. I’ve only ever had my hair, so thank you for sharing that other peoples hair isn’t as thick and strong as our hair, but again, I’m sticking to what I commented before, I don’t use any treatments, I don’t know any Hawaiians (or other Polynesians) who use them and I don’t see what in our diet could be different considering we live off of western diets for the most part. PS: hapa only has one P in it.

You're only supposed to use the balls of your fingers to massage your scalp, not the nails. With our hair type use a wide tooth comb to prevent breakage,. not a regular brush.
Coconut milk and avocado is excellent, no hyaluronic acid (sorry I cant spell it) but I wouldn't put it anywhere near my hair there's other natural ingredients to use to cleanse and clarify
Thanks for sharing, hyaluronic acid is actually a natural ingredient our body's naturally produce as well and it is a hydrating ingredient. It does not cleanse or clarify hair. 💖

Aw, mahalo for that, I appreciate it. I try my best not to allow people to exploit us, including this channel that is exploiting us with their lies, for views or people like the haole/mexican who thinks she is entitled to a say because she thinks she’s “Hawaiian by injection” 🍆💦 as they say..
Polynesian cultures can only be represented by Polynesians, no one else.
This is amaxing
You're only supposed to use the balls of your fingers to massage your scalp, not the nails. With our hair type use a wide tooth comb to prevent breakage,. not a regular brush.
Thank you very much ❤
Good to know
💖
I will try it or try it and tell us
Loves to here u advice blessings
Coconut milk and avocado is excellent, no hyaluronic acid (sorry I cant spell it) but I wouldn't put it anywhere near my hair there's other natural ingredients to use to cleanse and clarify
Thanks for sharing, hyaluronic acid is actually a natural ingredient our body's naturally produce as well and it is a hydrating ingredient. It does not cleanse or clarify hair. 💖
Please do try the warm coconut milk :)
I'm looking into it 💖
Can I use it on low porosity 4c hair ?
It's always best to try on your specific hair and judge for yourself because it may work for you and not others and vise versa 💖
I'm Micronesian we also have silky black hair
Thank you for sharing 💖
That’s because Micronesians originated in Indonesia.

I'm half Polynesian and half black. I have long, coarse, thick hair. My hair doesn't like coconut oil either 😂
I travel to Hawaii several times a month and YES! Hawaiian women DO have very long hair! I have yet to see one with short or mid length hair.
