I'm no expert, but if you ladies and gentlemen are trying to retain length and grow hair long, BE CONSISTENT. If your hair is used to receive good loving' it will act right. A consistent and simple regime, listening to your hair ( so you can give it the right things), keep your ends trimmed and moisturized and being gentle will really help you. When I first started transitioning. I was always washing and conditioning and working with my hair. Couple that with taking care of myself ( good diet, exercise) it flourished! It was when I stopped, I have been really experiencing problems. But be consistent, take care of yourself and your hair and bee patient. Courage, y'all!!!
i did not know what the baggy method was but, I mixed deep conditioner, oil, and conditioner and used it to detangle my hair. since it was night i put on a plastic cap to save my sheets and a microfiber towle. i went to bed woke up to rinse my hair and my hair felt like silk. omg so part of my routine from now on
Such a beautiful African sister! Love the colors you are wearing. Love what you said about how important it is to love and take good care of ourselves. Also, no one likes to talk about this but sugar is a huge enemy of hair growth. Thanks so much for the video.
Let's just be or continue to be honest with the fact of not everyone is going to be Rapunzal I feel that a lot of people went natural just for that "perk". We need to be 100% blunt and honest that genetics plays a huge role and usually wins!!!
A majority of people can grow their hair long regardless of genetics. Density, thickness, etc may vary but there is no gene that is passed down that says "you hair will break off after growing 4 inches". Lol, just a note that hair growth is about length retention. Now everyone doesn't WANT to grow long hair and that's completely fine. Shoot, I'm contemplating cutting mine off. O-O!
I agree with you. Not everyone will have waist length hair no matter what they do or how long they let their hair grow. The speed at which your hair grows plays a major factor also. Some peoples hair grow fast and others grow slow. All these products out here.....nothing is going to make your hair grow faster. People take vitamins not realizing if they ate proper foods in their diet they would get the same results.
you're absolutely right. it's like how some people store fat in their breasts easily while no matter how much food I eat, i'm still an A-cup. However, I have fast growing hair. Go figure.
I would say since 2006 the baggie method has been in play. I was a member of BHM (black hair media) from 2006-2013 when I stopped. I can't login for some reason. I started doing it in February 2006 and it helped me to avoid trimming for months on end. I grew my relaxed hair to 18 inches, then did a big chop in May 2011. My hair is now bra clasp length, even with a 2 and 5 inch trim last year. I put my hair in 2 afro puffs at night,moisturize with h20 and a tiny bit of care free curl gold at night. Then I put a sandwich bag on each puff and secure it with an elastic. This has helped me tremendously over the years with length retention. I remove it in the morning and style my hair in a bun and or in a hair claw! You have beautiful hair!
I don't understand the obsession and fanaticism with long hair. It's just hair...If you love it and don't do any quick growth schemes, it will grow. Just relax and enjoy your hair.
Probably because long hair is seen as 'more beautiful' and cus so many other people have it makes others want it too - i agree with you but its not just hair sometimes. for a while before i started properly caring my hair grew about 1/10th of a centimeter a month to none.
Mel N Don't buy into the standard of beauty you see on TV and in entertainment. If we all had long hair and looked alike, no one would be able to differentiate us. The beauty in people is our uniqueness. To be honest, I received more attention for my looks when I shaved my hair to go natural than when I had mid-back length relaxed straight hair. If everyone around you only likes one thing, maybe you need to go somewhere where people are more open-minded.
salorchi84 I know that TV isn't always real and don't relate it to my look and self esteem at ALL but not neccesarily everyone around us is the same and that's what i was talking about - i was talking about people in general (not all but many) if only everyone knew it how you do but not everyone does. No not all the people around me all think it just long hair thats nice and you probably got more attention because A) it's not common to see shaved women out and about and even if you do see that then it's not a popular look amongst us which is totally fine B) ignorance is bliss and people just think you look like their assumptions (which isn't right)
I dnt understand why ppl always have a prob when a black person is doin what's necessary to have long, beautiful, healthy hair(caring for/loving their hair basically!). Black women can complement someone on a weave hanging all the way down their back,but let that hair be real(grown from your scalp) and that same person will instead hate on you! 😧😧😧😧 If u dnt care abt the health, lenghth/length retention of ur own hair lik alot of blk women(and as a result alot of ppl think were jus bald nappy headed weave wearer's! Even though a lot of us do have long hair, jus more of us have bad habits when it comes to our hair) thats ur choice,but dnt speak negatively abt those that do.
if dark, wet, & heat creates fungus on ur feet n other areas of the body, around the house etc etc. why did people assume those laws wouldn't apply for ones scalp🤔🤔🤔🤔. great video very informative will try this method for sure. I usually just put my twist&braids in a loose bun at night to protect the ends, throw a scarf of n 😴😪😪
Thank you :-) I remember my baggy method attempt around 2012!! LOL I was looking to do it again and YOUR WAY makes better sense! ;-) I too will be discussing my hair goals and plans over this winter so this vid is great timing, thanks so much :-)
Great, informative video! I disagree about deep conditioning overnight or more than 30 minutes, because the deep conditioner isn't effective after 30 minutes.
+Jazmin Jordan :) Thanks for watching! Even though the deep conditioner may "stop" working after 30 minutes the hair is still being moisturized (heavily) for an extended period of time, which can't be too bad for those with super dry hair. Xoxo
+The KG Lifestyle You're welcome. True. I tried the overnight deep conditioning, and my hair was moisturized but wet, and I didn't like that. So I'm back to doing it on wash day.
we all have our opinions what ever works for you. i know conditioner has to stay in my hair or i turn into simba. leaving my concoction i explained above it work for a whole 8 hours. like i said whatever works for
You have actually said it all , lots of people think they can grow their Natural hair overnight just because they are Natural , when they haven’t grown their permed hair more than a certain length for 20 year
ama barton Yes, markeya lee is right. Maybe there are other factors effecting your hair. Heat, old damage. Our hair will grow if we just leave it alone. #TrueStory
The tips in this video is a great start. If you're hair isn't feeling moisturized after trying this method, you may have build up and a need to clarify. Using quality moisturizers everyday should definitely help!
I love the way you explained things in this video! I always understood protecting my ends was important, but I feel like I never really thought in depth about WHY. Great video. I'm going to subscribe! ^_^
Baggy ends version is my best and fav method/technique. I started doing this couple of years ago and I don't baggy my whole head. This prevented split and dead ends. My ends are better than ever! Thank you for sharing, great tips!
great video. It's all about patience and a combination of your lifestyle. Also, protecting with braids helps because our hair needs to be "pulled" in order to grow. After all, isn't that why we kept our toddlers hair in plats "so it can grow."? Lol great points..keep up the good work!
Great tips and warnings about the baggy method. I plan to use the one with the ends. I am now on a Water only Wash journey so I tend to do the entire head often. I am looking into other ways though to maintain my moisture at night. thanks and happy hair to you!
Thank you so much I have never heard of the Baggy Method. Do you have a pattern on how you do you twist ( the twist that you are wearing in the video ) I love the way they hang. My twist do not look that good.
I Smith Twists will hang on longer hair, my twists don't look that good either since my hair's only shoulder length and the twists shrink my hair even further. It looks like just regular ol' twists to me.. :)
Hi! My problem is getting knots on the hair at the very nap of my head the hair hasn’t grown out enough to twist or pen down Help!!! I have Low porosity hair. Thank you 🙏
:) I never said bad ends stop hair growth.....of course hair grows regardless. If your ends are raggedy and your hair is retaining length, great! This video is about maximizing potential hair length, and this can be done by taking special care of your ends.
Oh no completely understand that but there are a lot that automatically think now I'm natural you'll have hair to your waist && that just ain't it (side eye) I'm sorry but being a science major it may not ALL be genetics but genetics plays a huge role even in the hair vitamin swindle #js
So... I'm just seeing this video and I'm seeing its one of your older videos and I'll look to see if you've answered this question in your newer videos but... About the part where you put only your ends in the bag for moisture, how do people with shorter hair go about getting moisture on our ends without placing the bag on our whole head?
moscato love There's really no way to do that. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with putting a plastic cap on (the cheap shower caps) just only do that a couple times a week and you'll be fine.
Love your videos!!! I do have a question about single strand knots. How do you prevent them? And when i see them is it unwise to cut them out? And what do single stand knots say about the health of your hair? Have a great day ;)
Thanks for watching love. SSKs are pesky and annoying! There is no way to completely prevent them when you have curly/kinky/coily hair. Some strands will always find a way to curl on themselves. The best way to deal with them is to get trims (I suggest about 2-3 times a year). I finger detangle and keep the utensils I use to a minimum so that I can recognize them with my fingers and try to save the hair that is caught in the knot. You can use coconut oil on your ends to help prevent them and help save the hair around them. When I find one I use some oil to slide up and unravel the hair that is caught on the knot and then cut out the knot. Hope this helps! :)
When I was a kid we had Jheri curls and we wore shower caps every night to sleep and my hair never grew, it actually broke off. All that Jheri curl juice and my hair never grew.

I use to want long hair, but now I'm way more focused on it being healthy.
Kai H If your hair is healthy, it will grow.
Same!
Kai you can do both.
I want both
Me too

EXACTLY THANK YOU!!!!!
you're absolutely right. it's like how some people store fat in their breasts easily while no matter how much food I eat, i'm still an A-cup. However, I have fast growing hair. Go figure.
I believe in doing the baggie method twice a week. Especially if prepooing overnight for wash day the next day.
I use this method on my ends every night and my whole head once a week and it keeps my hair really soft and moisturized
Loooooove those glass jars holding ur nail polish behind u!!! Great video!!

Cool! It works for sure! i just think people need to stay consistent with it. Had no idea it has been around for that long!

I agree--it really is a game changer!!

I've tried the baggy method
Do you use heat or color treat? Maybe you need to change up products, and are you deep conditioning often
ama barton Yes, markeya lee is right. Maybe there are other factors effecting your hair. Heat, old damage. Our hair will grow if we just leave it alone. #TrueStory

Hello KG, can you do a tutorial on how you did your twist in this video? Your twists look luscious, and very moisturized.
I used to put it on every night I can second that you will get a fungal infection. My hair is growing back now.
Ruth A. Damn, it made your hair fall out?
Very helpful tips! Thank you;)
Thanks for the good info I will be doing this!
Hair grows 1/4 to 1/2 inch a month

HoneyBeNatural Magazine LOL! You're so silly!
random. where did u get the holders you're using for your nailpolish? i think i could use that for makeup brushes
Thank you so much for clarifying. I always found that method confusing but still appealing to try for my hair.
I like your hair. What products do you use on your hair and could you do a video on how you twist your hair?
Your hair looks very moisture and healthy.🌻
How do u often cover ur ends ? evry single night?

When I was a kid we had Jheri curls and we wore shower caps every night to sleep and my hair never grew, it actually broke off. All that Jheri curl juice and my hair never grew.
You are right. This is not a new method.We did this in the 80s with our jheri curls, but it did make my hair grow lol.
It made my hair grow alot back in the day and I wore a plastic cap every night
Nice Video
Where did you buy those containers for your nail polish?

+Nicolette Hilbert try Jamaican Black Castor Oil it's been helping me. (I take Biotin too)
+Ruth A. thanks girl ive been trying that I've noticed my hair has gotten thicker and it has grown quite a bit
Massage with a good castor oil or Jamaican black oil every night and do the 7 days a month inversion massage method. It is helping my thin hair a lot!
YaYa thanks will do 😊😊
my husband finds the plastic bag sooooo sexy. NOT! He'd rather I be baldheaded.
