Any other older ladies out there? There are interesting differences... "women after a certain age should wear their hair short" - people say that nonsense all the time. But I am loving my longer hair at 62 years young!
61 years here! Started these methods (as per Katherine’s instructions) about a year and a half ago. My naturally grey hair has gone from mid shoulder blade length to my hips in that time. It is thicker and stronger. I wash only once a month now with only positive results. I’ve made the oils as per her recipe and love it! Strongly recommend her methods. She’s done the work for us with her recipes and research, all we need is patience to see the growth! 🩷
I will be 50 in May and was told all my life that my "terminal" hair length was at my bra strap. I have cried every time my hair has been cut to my shoulders. I don't know what to do with short hair! My husband finally convinced me to just let it grow and see what happens. We met 7 years ago and I started this journey about 4 years ago I suppose. I have used some of these techniques intermittently, and my hair is now between mid back and waist length at the shortest layer and waist and hip length at the longest point. I'm curious to see how using them consistently will work... who knows? Maybe by the time I'm 60 it will be floor length and I can blow all of those myths out of the water!
I’m only 19 but I’ve struggled with depression for the past 8 years. Until some months ago I didn’t had energy or inspiration to take care of myself and specially of my hair, but thanks to your videos I’m starting to heal my relationship with my own self-care ❤
I am similar. Herbalism also helped me. Susun Weed and others. You can use the herbs you learn about (that grow near you and cost nothing) in your hair care routine. For example I use burdock in my scalp oil and tea. Its fun to learn the properties and how to gather it. Its amazing when you create something all by yourself but it WORKS!🤗🤗🤗
I'm in. Light colored hair, mostly grey/white.😅 I'm past 70 years old, have had thinning hair, but when I stopped using shampoo last summer, it started getting thicker. I'm not on Instagram, so I'll follow along here on this platform. Hurray! Here we go!
I'll give the sage a try. I have rosemary oil I've used several times on my scalp and argan oil for the length. Just growing out a longer bob. Now I want to use the clay. I've certainly noticed a healthier feel, not so dry. Not so much hair in the boar brush. A plastic scalp massager came with the rosemary oil. This has been great because my scalp can get dry and itch. In winter it's worse and I would use a comb or stiff bristle brush. @@christineribone9351
I'm 71 and I'm in!!! I've incorporated several of your wonderful techniques to include Scalp Hero massager (it's awesome!), rhassoul clay hair washing, vinegar rinse, and a silica mineral tea (and I also use it as a face toner and hair rinse), silk pillowcase, and MSM supplementation which I also use in the mineral tea when rinsing with it. WHEW! I didn't realize how of your techniques I've incorporated. I need to order ingredients for the hair oil treatment. Also, I noticed you didn't include in this video the Immune/Mineral Tea. Btw, I have more hair coming in. So excited. TY so much! ❤
65 and stopped using shampoo. I wash with whole eggs once a week (apx). I either put my hair up in a bun or braid it 24/7. I also finger comb to remove tangles, and brush it with boar bristle brushes. It shows signs of getting thicker (and thereby longer).
I use a hair routine from an Victorian beauty book from 1898. I use Castile soap, oils, herbal and apple cider rinses. My hair is 48” long, almost knee length. I tried your clay wash and I had trouble getting it out so I’ll stick to my Castile soap wash as my hair is healthy, shiny, and soft. Edited to add, I’m in on the challenge except for the clay wash. Hopefully I’ll get to knee length.
@@riecaswell252 it has to be diluted, I have really long hair and 1/2 tsp mixed into 2 cup water. After rinsing out completely, I follow with a herbal tea rinse with 1 tbsp acv added. I use Dr Bronner Castile soap.
I am 65 and naturally silwer. I preferred to cut 10cm off of my hair last month because my ends were very thinned out from hair loss after a very sudden change in temperature(36-40°C) mid-spring(October in southern hemisphere) that got even worse at mid-summer(up to 44). It is now mid-chest length with healthy ends.
Hi, my name is Cathy and I live in Charleston South Carolina. I have gathered all of the ingredients to start this challenge. I am 72 years old and very sadly have lost about half of my hair volume. My hair has become very fine and thin, when it used to be very coarse and thick. So I am very excited to try these methods. And we are off!!🎉
What I love most about this whole hair adventure is how much more my hair is my OWN now. I've come to the belief now that what I grew up with was essentially a man's haircare, meant only for short hair! And all those 57 years I was LONGING for those flowing, expressive manes... I didn't think that I was destroying my hair, roughly brushing it while it was wet etc. I'm one year in!!! Using Shikakai instead of clay myself. Once a week. Boar bristle brush a bit more often in the second half. Hair oil often but not every week, coconut oil just a smidge if it's a bit dry. I've got twice the volume of hair than in January 2023 and I love it🌸💖!!
I saw your first video on hair care roughly a year ago and immediately ordered some rhassoul clay. I wish I took more photos of myself to document the amazing transformation. My hair texture is the same as yours. It was down to my butt as a child, but I cut it to my shoulders around age 12 and it never grew long again! The longest it ever grew was maybe mid-back but the length was always thin and uneven. I was resolved to thinking my hair was just naturally dry, brittle, and unmanageable. My hair is curly like yours also, so I too sported the crunchy wet look and tried every mousse and gel available. I discovered the flatiron in high school, and subsequently fried it for the next decade. I discovered clip-in extensions in my 20's and wore those for the next decade. Altogether, I had hair woes for 30 years, subtracting the first 5 years of life when I didnt care. In the past year since I saw your video, my hair has grown from shoulder length to slightly below my natural WAIST! I was amazed at how manageable my hair was even the first time using clay. I could immediately feel and see the difference in texture. I've continued to use rhassoul clay, ACV, conditioner, and jojoba oil for some extra shine, and wash it every 10 to 14 days. My hair is not only long, but thick, shiny, and heavy. It requires ZERO styling products. I've shared your video with so many people. I could never adequately express my gratitude! 🙏 ❤
I am so excited for this challenge, I just bought all of the items on your hair care !! I am so in!! I am 56 yrs old and have always wanted longer hair. My hair is short, curly and starting to gray. I aam so excited to give this very committed effort.
Yes I’m up for the challenge. About a month ago I chopped my hip length hair off to chin length now because my hair was falling out/thinning after covid and I learned that shorter hair masks the thinning because it’s lighter/less weighed down I guess… but I miss my hair being long and thick . I need it back ! I’m down!
Fun Fact, Rhassoul comes from the Arabic word Ghusl which is "To Purify yourself" in the context of Islam Ghusl is the full head to toe cleansing Muslims do with water at different times. So with that in mind "Ghusl clay" translates to "Washing/Cleansing/Purifying clay"
Last night, I put oils into my naturally curly, very dry hair, washed with clay today, rinsed with ACV, and used one of my gentle products for styling. HOLY COW. Just one night of doing that and my hair was SO DIFFERENT. It was an amazing hair day!! Thank you so much for your content. ❤
@@asukamai87 Have you tried rye flour? Maybe you use too much ACV? Try half a tablespoon on one liter of water. There should be no smell after the hair has dried. Instead of ACV, you could try using the same amount of lemon juice.
I feel like most of it is inspired by ayurvedic hair care practices that has been in India for thousands of years. I'm glad that people are learning about it now but it is also important to acknowledge the fact that where it all came from
I started this challenge last week before I knew about it! Lol.... Just getting into this type of hair care and have been binging these videos, so I'm looking forward to trying something new. I have been washing my hair once a week for about 18 years. I also have medium-thin, graying, somewhat wavy hair that is shoulder length and has not been growing very fast. I also struggle with itchy scalp. I've tried different things as my "shampoo" through the years with varying results, including ayurvedic herbs, shampoo bars, vinegar, and Castile soap. I also dye my gray hair regularly with henna. My hair doesn't get that oily because it's not used to being washed all the time, but it does look more dull than I'd like. I'm hoping that sleeping on my new silk pillowcase, using a boar bristle brush, talking msm, using hair oil, and clay washing will help. I'll definitely keep up with these steps throughout the next month. Thank you for this timely video, Katherine!
Recently, just bought the clay, the apple cider vinegar, the aloe, vera juice, stinging nettle, rosemary, oil, sweet almond oil, and clove oil, and I am so looking forward to growing my hair throughout this newly decade of me turning 30. The bristle brush and everything 🥰☺️ I can’t wait to see how my natural frizzy curly “Jew fro” reacts 🥰❤️ loveee this channel, so happy I found it
You will love making the flaxseed gel it really defines the curls, only boil 9 minutes or it goes to thick and changes how you use it, I learnt the hard way lol❤
I coincidentally started trying out the clay wash, acv rinse and brushing with a BBB to prolong the time between washes! The rhassoul clay I bought says on the package that the rhassoul powder can be used as a dry shampoo to absorb excess oils too! So I've been using that on my roots if they're looking too oily after brushing. I have extremely fine hair and so far noticed that my waves/curls shape themselves and stay in shape longer. And my hair feels thicker/courser and just stronger in general. I also started sleeping in a bonnet and not using elastics or pins in my hair. Hair sticks and ribbons is where it's at for me!
I've kinda started similar steps previously and will be joining the challenge. My current hair state is not great, not only is my hair currently blue but I have been experiencing massive hair loss after my surgery almost a year ago now. For me I think the biggest challenge is going to be protective styles that I can get in my hair.
I love the hair oil ❤😊 especially using a scalp massager its lovely. I also use aloe vera or flax seed gel on the ends of my hair when its wet from the shower. Dry finger detangling is the ultimate patience builder. Lol❤ Keep posting these hair videos I really enjoy them and they're natural and easy to do!
I will try it. Hair is grey/white, fine, somewhat thick and chin length. Want it healthier and longer. I do use a boar bristle brush a couple of times a week and I love what it does to my hair.
like few others in the comments, i'm already doing most of these things - so i'm on. 🙂 i'm growing my hair back after chemo treatments last winter (i was done march 9 last year), so i got plenty to do. 😅 i can attest that it works, though. i think my hair would be considerably shorter, if i hadn't done any of these things. (it's not THAT long, but i think it's growing much faster than without everything i do) 💯💕💥
I will definitely be taking a few of your tips and incorporating it into my current routine! Thanks for mentioning the massaging and satin head wrap for at night!! I know that will help my hair so much! I am most likely going to purchase a boar bristle brush. Though I do currently use a vintage hair brush I found in an antique store. I use an egg to wash my hair every 7-10 days. I already apply sweet almond oil after a shower because the egg drys my hair out a little. I love rinsing my hair in rosewater! (Rose tea, technically).
I’m going to give it a go! I’ve had a similar hair journey to you growing up with my curly hair, and doing a few of these things already, so excited to see the results ❤😊
At almost 42 my hair has turned dry and brittle, at least a third has broken or come out. I saw one of your older videos about a week ago and started right in with : jojoba, castor, olive, rosemary…….😅 * I switched everything!!!! I bought rhassoul for my hair and cider vinegar and a boar bristle brush. Loooong story short. My hair quality has significantly improved already. A woman actually came up to me in the grocery and told me that my hair was amazing ❤🎉 Thank you. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ❤
I love henna. I add tea, oils, honey, yogurt, egg,. My straight thin hair to seal i can actually manage a heavy castor oil, but love tea tree, argon, grape seed and sunflower oils.
I am excited to participate in the challenge. Curly hair / shoulder length, stopped washing with shampoo and conditioner about a month ago and purchased supplies for the clay wash and homemade hair old. Started using a boar bristle brush and already my hair feels healthier and softer. Loving the protective hairstyles as well. Thank you for putting together the challenge and all the helpful videos🌿
I got my Clay two weeks ago and i am just amazed how well it gets my hair perfectly clean. I also started at this point with linseedgel and with hair oiling a few weeks before. I have had to cut my hair because of massive postpartum hairloss two years ago and massive new hair growth due to the start of taking msm about 2 years ago. The hair was so thin at the ends, it had to come of... i am now at shoulder length hair, maybe little shorter... the biggest gamechanger was my sleeping cap, i use it now about two years and i have no breakage at all... i hope this time i can get long hair and i am possitive your routine will help❤
I’m on a challenge! I do everything, oils are still very heavy for my wavy porous hair, I use only organ oil as a base, and a little of your mixture😁my hair gets oily, I use cocoa during the week as a dry shampoo, a bristle brush milks me like a magic wand. My husband says my hair looks unkempt, but it has become much healthier and more vibrant. There is, of course, a difference in modern hair washed and blow-dried. But I like my hair better now, it seems younger and breathing! In the video I would like to see only you and your hair , thank you very much 🌷
@katherinesewing thank you for setting up this challenge! I have shared it with my group from church and various friends, we are into it. #thanks #katherinesewing #hairgrowthchallenge2024
I am in! I started on some of your techniques for the last year on and off, but due to horrible scalp issues have know I need start. I think this is going to help so much.
I just recently changed my hair routine based off yours and some other ladies’ recommendations. I’m just about to bottle my hair oil, which I can’t wait to use. So I was already on board but I’m glad to have company!
Count me in! ❤️ I've been using some of Katherine's methods for over a year now and have had glorious results. I've got baby hairs forming that are already several inches long. The overall health, shine and length of my hair is unreal. I NEVER received compliments on my hair until the last year. Best of all, this has been so much fun and a welcome routine. For those who are afraid of no poo, consider a few tiny drops of castile liquid soap with the aloe juice and water. I personally use a tiny bit of baking soda with water for my poo. It's what's best for me. Trust yourself and go for it. Katherine's advice is sound, proven, low cost, etc. Most of all, make it an adventure!
I have been using Katherine's oil blend for almost a year and started noticing the baby hairs after 3 months or so. I just found out today that some women cut fake baby hairs and even pluck their hairline to get that "new growth" appearance.
@@lumay333 anywhere from 1 t to 1 T depending on how much oil I have on my hair. I always wash it twice before vinegar rinse. Better to go too little soda. Too much will dry out your ends!
I am new and late to the challenge but I would like to know where you bought your shower head? Thank u. I can hardly wait to try all these recommendations ❤
As of December 3rd (2023), I have been doing most, but not all of your hair tips/routines. I threw out all my hair ties and bought hair pins, side combs, and hair sticks. I have also been wadhing my hair with clay ever since and alternating betwren fenugreek and flaxseed. I have been using a satin hair sleep bonnet since July 2023 and I love it. I have been washing my hair once a week fof 14 years now. I can honestly say, that since ive incorporated several of your tips/routines, my hair has gotten so much thicker. And doesnt feel thin anymore. It reminds me of what my hair used to feel like in my 20's and 30's. My hair is dow. To my tailbone, but my lifelong goal is to have it reach my knees...or longer. I now know that it is do-able. Thank you.
These practices stem from vedic science and have been practiced for centuries in india and still honored in homes un india, its good to see how this is heing perpetuated to alleviate current lifedtyle problems and promote healthy hair growth in the west too
I’m in! I tried clay washing last week before knowing how to apply it. It definitely made the hair feel heavy and I always rinse with cider vinegar. I will watch your video on applying the clay wash. Good luck !
Im in I was doing it when you first brought out your hair videos and I loved every part of it,I actually got to spend time on me,but recently past few months life got busy and I even used shampoo (was horrible)😢 so this video has made me exciting again ❤, from doing your hair care routine previous over a year my hair grew so much.What I absolutely love the most is the flaxseed gel having curly hair it defines the curls so beautifully.Thanks Katherine you have excited me again, I'm off to the health shop to get my clay ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m in! I bought the clay and made your oil last year. Tried a few times but got discouraged. Right now I am using shampoo and conditioner that are not ideal (silicones) but hate to waste things so want to finish it up. Most likely be finished right in time for the challenge. I was reading in natural hair care about using a sulfate shampoo to wash off the silicones before going more natural route. So if anyone is in that boat, might want to look into that.
I stumbled onto your channel searching for natural ways to help my hair. I'm in for the challenge. My hair became damaged when I got the virus. I lost massive amounts of my once thick hair. It's still in bad shape. I continue to have massive breakage. Very dry. I miss the hair I once had.
Hi I'm been using the Herbal hair oil for the last 6 months. The health of my hair has improved so much. I stopped using traditional shampoo and conditioner. It dried out my hair to much and made it very brittle. I use Dr. Brommers to cleanse my hair, but I'm willing to take your challenge and start with the Clay wash. I haven't cut my hair since before Covid. So my hair now is at Bust Level. My friends want to know what I'm doing , so I'm sending them to your channel. Thanks for your great videos. 😊
I'm new to your channel but I've already started with the clay and jojoba oil and practicing hair health styling. I'm so excited to see how it goes. I'm in for the challenge. My poor hair has lost volume, lost my curls and I've always had thin hair. I'm hoping for reversal and thicker hair.
Waist length hair here. I do no water sebum only method and mine is growing like weeds. Less is more as washing is stressful for hair. Your plaits method for washing is good though.
Another one in on the challenge- pregnant, so wont be doing the msm, will be having liver powder instead. Ordered boar brushes, will have my little 4yr old in on the challenge too haha. Will prob try for a year. Hoping for thigh length hair (eventually) currently belly button length!
Ur ideas are great ! Along with that we can also apply herbal hair packs which helps to nourish and also promotes to long and thick hair in short period of time.
Has anyone with gray hair tried her hair oil with the henna in it? If so, did it change the color at all? I know from her video we can substitute with the cassia, but I personally would like to do the henna because of its benifits. I just don't want to color or yellow out my grays even if it's a slight change.
I started this in October 2022, and my hair is so much better now. Had covid in February 2022 and my hair was falling out following that. So thin that I actually bought a wig, not a fan of it. Found Katherine and thought why not try it. My hair is growing and has come back in and is much better than it was 10 years ago. Wish I had found this method years ago.
I implemented a few techniques right away after finding your videos a month and a half ago. I completely changed my entire hair care routine and the results have been amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I haven't tried the clay wash so I will try that as my challenge in February! I might make my own oil but initially I went with the Curly Proverbs oil because it was already mixed for me. Baby steps!
@@asukamai87Which kind of clay are you using, how much are you using, and do you wash the clay out after using it? And are you using an acidifying rinse like ACV afterwards to resoften your hair?
@@Kiterpuss i use indian healing bentonite clay because in my country, it is hard to find rassoul clay. I mix 2 spoon of bentonite clay and 2 spoon acv and add a cup of water, and i put on my hair like 10 minutes. After that i rinse with warm water and in the end with cold water. My hair type is thin and fine hair with low porosity hair.. Pls give me some advice🙏
@@asukamai87 The way clay cleans hair is by electrochemically binding to the molecules of oil and dirt on the hair/skin. Adding something acidic like ACV might be affecting that reaction. Modern shampoos combine the cleansing and softening steps of cleaning your hair, but clay will only do the cleansing step. Rinsing it out and then doing a separate ACV rinse (one option for the softening step) might work better for you. It also might help to do some kind of moisturizing treatment on your hair if it's stiff because it's dry.
Guys this woman is giving us GOLD advice ❤ thank you so much for your content! And yes, I’m in the challenge as well!✨ Even though all of these products and techniques are a part of my routine already (except clay washing and drinking msms). The key here is consistency! This challenge will help you build habits that will drastically change your hair! 😻No, perhaps you won’t see extreme changes in your length but you will definitely see a healthier shinier hair. I’ve been focusing on the health of my hair for the past year and now the length is just a side bonus! I simply love seeing how my hair has become stronger, thicker and shinier ❤
I am so happy, that I find you here! I startet to oily my natural curls like yours, two days before. I need to buy clay. I start to wash my hair with rye flouer. Did you tried rye flour? The hair after is really soft and smooth. Thanks for this callenge and good luck to all! ♥
I have never been able to grow my hair padt my collar bone and am almost 30. I tried no poo, diet, supplements, but i realized my hair is dry and likely loss due to breakage so now I focus a lot on that. I am the perfect guinea pig to see how well this challenge helps.
I started following you a year ago and saw many great results. We moved in August 2023 and I fell off the wagon of being good to my hair. I’m IN for the challenge and appreciate all of your hair and sewing video’s, Katherine! You are a terrific inspiration to so many!! Best of luck everyone!!!🙏🩵
This sounds like fun! I am doing several of these things: protective hair style, boar bristle brush, washing less frequently(every 2 weeks). I have tried the Rhassoul clay but I have a question: What does a healthy scalp look and feel like? Mine seems to be about the same if I use the clay or a "regular" shampoo. Also, I have heard you mentioned recently that your hair is now thigh length. That's so exciting to hear that it is Still growing! It's beautiful! I also have tried the hair oil but my hair is fine consistency and I did not like how oily it made my hair ( I had to wash 2X and it still didn't really come out). However, from listening to this video I can see that I should only use a Miniscule amount ( if you are only using a drop or two). It will be 2 years in February since I shaved my head (for fun). Since then I have gained more appreciation for having long hair. It's now about 12 inches (from my scalp). I look forward to when I can measure it from my ears down. I so enjoy your videos! Thank you! I want to take up this challenge.
I’m in!! I have been watching your videos and slowly rolling into historical hair care full time with an occasional switch back. I have fine, light colored, wavy, leans to the oily side type of hair, but this hair care is doing the trick! So excited for this journey! Maybe this will do the trick and I’ll never look back 😊
Well, I discovered your channel 1 week and a half ago and tried your routine for the 1st time 5 days ago. I am going to copy paste my comment so it will be easier for me to find it and update it. "01/14 : I tried this routine for the 1st time and OMG, my hair looks amazing!!! I have curly hair (3b, 3c) and my curls are really defined and shiny for cheap (my normal routine costs 176€ vs 37€ here without counting the cost of tools). Let's see how it goes in the long term, I hope to see growth. I did pre-poo with coconut oil, dry detangled with my hands, did 4 braids (even though my hair is way shorter), washed with rhassoul (I let it sit for 3 minutes), rinced with ACV that I let in my hair (I used to rince with ACV a few years ago so my hair is used to it), then I styled it with my denman brush and flaxseed gel (I put some hibiscus in it for the color), let my hair dry first with my diffuseur in cold air then naturally and I finished with broccoli oil (known for being light on the hair and is anti frizz). I don't know how long it will lasts, I hope it will stay that way for at least 3 days then I will do protective hairstyle. I hope I will remember this comment to do an update for 1st month 3rd month, 6th month and 1st year." 01/19 :I can already say 5 days later that my hair lasted 3 days like I wanted, then I did protective hairstyles using my flaxseed gel, broccoli oil and my boar bristle brush (already had one). I will do my 2nd wash in 2 days.
Hey, Everyone, I found another good channel for curly girls. Her channel is Greenbeauty, and she explains the science behind a lot of the products/practices that Katherine is teaching.
Im 65 i have been struggling with thinning hair ever since having chronic lyme. But it was coming along as i started taking better care of it. In 2022 my hair was long enough to sit on. Then cvid hit I lost 2\3 of my hair. It was coming back and I got infected with lymelast summer. So thinning hair again, but then my husband passed in Aug 2023. With all the stress the hair that was coming back I lost yet again. So starting with my thin fine hair, I might like to try the challenge. It certainly won't hurt!
Yes chronic lyme is so hard on our bodies. Lyme causes stress so we stress out more, its a vicious cycle. We need to find ways to be calm. For me I need to assess my situation. That is is my anxiety do to a circumstance or dehydration. Usually it is caused by dehydration. With Lyme it is hard to stay hydrated. So find a good source of electrolytes to see if that helps. Above all my faith in my Saviour Yahusha gets me through. I hope that you find a way to find peace so you can heal.🙏🙏
My friend you are the one that started me on my journey to grow my hair long. I had my hair cut chin length one year ago, and it has grown 18cm over this time. I thank you for the inspiration and knowledge. God bless you
I tried the clay thing last year, but I couldn’t get it right. I probably didn’t give it enough time as you said in your video it takes time for your scalp to adjust, but I just couldn’t take my hair being so greasy so I went back to commercial shampoo. I use Surface though, which is a natural based haiecair line and it’s very expensive. Luckily I get a discount as a licensed hairdresser. I think that and purology are the next best thing if your hair can’t adjust to her tips or you don’t have the time to concoct your own.
Katherine! 👋🤩I believe that the 100%pure website is almost entirely sold out of all their beauty products because YOU recommended them! Your religious following snatched all the goods up! Way to go lady! 🎉 I’m in on the challenge too! Just gotta gather supplies! 😅
I have been using many of your techniques for a year or more. I started with scalp message, and jojoba oil on ends, I made the herbal scalp oil a few months ago and have done several treatments. I tried the clay wash once, but it was very messy and difficult to apply. I am definitely in on this challenge.
Good morning, I have a request. I saw in your apple cider rincé short that your hair was pinned up in what looked like milkmaid braids. Can you demonstrate how you do that? My hair is thick and straight and the weight of it causes sagging within a couple of hours. Thanks, I love your channel!
I have a long video on this channel showing all of the different protective hairstyles I know, including that one. ua-cam.com/video/Xeep1tqHENg/v-deo.html There are timestamps to jump to the milkmaid braids style.
Hello. I'm very interested in joining this challenge. My hair is very short, and oily. I've been trying to go no poo, just using conditioner. It seems as though my hair is ok, but I really want to have long healthy hair. I also do a cold rinse on my hair before I get out of the shower to help close my hair follicles. Do you have any other ideas for someone, (me) with oily hair? Thank you so much for your videos. God bless you and your family!!
I am definitely taking part in your challenge! I just recently started bristle boar brushing, taking MSM, and using oil (on my scalp and ends). However, I'm going to make your hair oil recipe and also add in regular scalp massages. I've never had hair past my bra. It grows slow &/or breaks off before it can get long. I'm hoping with these methods to get my hair to at least waist length. 🙏💗🙏 I'm afraid to do the clay wash, because i have a septic system.
I've started the challenge, but when it comes to the clay wash, I can't get rhassoul clay in my area or bentonite clay, so I've tried red clay and the ACV rinse (there was caolin clay as well but I didn't try it). As a result, my hair was really shiny but also super rough and stringy. Maybe I didn't wash it off well enough? Or what can I change next time I try? I really wanna make it work.
I have thin curly hair. I wash it every 7-10 days. When I do wash it, I lose a lot of hair. I don't brush my hair much. I use a wide tooth comb and my fingers. My question is, which option would you suggest I try from this challenge? The clay, the oil, the aloe, ACV, the boar brush? Thanks!
I been growing my hair the last 3 years . Longest it’s ever been. It’s super healthy ! But I’m excited to get it better ! I have zero dye . Been using oils now and boar hair brush
I washed my hair with the clay last Saturday and rinsed it with acv. I thought I rinsed my hair in the well, there was no color in the water. But it changed my gray hair to a strawberry blond! Why? What did I do wrong? But I am up to the hair challenge. My hair cannot handle a lot of extra oil either. It is really fine and it can be ouly on its own.
Gday, I’m a natural light golden blonde and my hair can stain ridiculously easy, so I have to be very careful and only use oils etc that are white, clear or a very pale yellow. I tried at one time a cassia hair mask..... well did my hair become a strange golden yellow, (think cartoon character yellow colour) it was horrible, but thankfully it eventually washed out. I haven’t tried clay washes yet as the little research I’ve done, fullers clay or white kaolin clay would be the only two I could use as they are light and shouldn’t stain?! (I’d probably only try the white kaolin clay as even the fullers earth could possibly stain or bleach the hair) Also ACV definitely stains light hair, so again I’d have to use only white vinegar or lemon juice as the rinse. Hopefully someone else with more experience with gray, white or blonde hair can give you more advice. Hope this was helpful sorry I couldn’t give better advice as I’m still researching myself.
I tried using rhassoul soap made for hair washing but it was too drying S my hair is thick and very curly s o now i use castille soap mixed with coconut milk and distilled water. I do use the oils you suggested including caccao butter which is really hydrating and leave them in overnight
A little late but I tried rhassoul for the second time ever yesterday and I absolutely love the result. My hair is shiny and happy and clean!! I use herbal infused vinegar all the time but the clay was a total game changer. My hair grows really fast, so we will see how it looks in another year. right now it is only touching my shoulders and I'm having a hard time figuring out protective hair styles for my multi-length hair.
Amazing! I was meditating last night and visualized a head of hair much like yours. I was bold enough in my meditation to own that hair as mine. Then, lo and behold, today I see this video. I’m in!
Im in for the challenge, cant wait! - BUT im ordering all the things ill need today and if they arrive before january 31st im not waiting! I had glorious curly thick hair my whole life and wore it waist long most of my life... until i had a baby at 25 yrs old and that was the end of my hair. Ive had terrible alopecia since having my one and only child 16 years ago and im now half bald and nothing i do improves it. When i first met my husband 6 years ago, he later told me the first thought he had was "this lady's going bald!" So thats the first impression i make when meeting peoole! Haha! I'd given up on having hair at all TBH but im doing this hair care routine religeously from now on. Thankyou so so much for all this info ❤

Any other older ladies out there? There are interesting differences... "women after a certain age should wear their hair short" - people say that nonsense all the time. But I am loving my longer hair at 62 years young!
Im 60 and have longish hair to
61 years here! Started these methods (as per Katherine’s instructions) about a year and a half ago. My naturally grey hair has gone from mid shoulder blade length to my hips in that time. It is thicker and stronger. I wash only once a month now with only positive results. I’ve made the oils as per her recipe and love it!
Strongly recommend her methods. She’s done the work for us with her recipes and research, all we need is patience to see the growth! 🩷
I am also over 60 and have longer hair.
@@twoforonecreativelife By day 3 my hair is so oily....how do you go a month? Also how often did you cut it and how much in that time?
I will be 50 in May and was told all my life that my "terminal" hair length was at my bra strap. I have cried every time my hair has been cut to my shoulders. I don't know what to do with short hair! My husband finally convinced me to just let it grow and see what happens. We met 7 years ago and I started this journey about 4 years ago I suppose. I have used some of these techniques intermittently, and my hair is now between mid back and waist length at the shortest layer and waist and hip length at the longest point. I'm curious to see how using them consistently will work... who knows? Maybe by the time I'm 60 it will be floor length and I can blow all of those myths out of the water!
I’m only 19 but I’ve struggled with depression for the past 8 years. Until some months ago I didn’t had energy or inspiration to take care of myself and specially of my hair, but thanks to your videos I’m starting to heal my relationship with my own self-care ❤
That's amazing, well done 😊
hey I'm 20 if you are ok can we be friends?
Good luck on your journey 🩵
Try the carnivore diet for depression...watch Dr Ken Berry
I am similar. Herbalism also helped me. Susun Weed and others. You can use the herbs you learn about (that grow near you and cost nothing) in your hair care routine. For example I use burdock in my scalp oil and tea. Its fun to learn the properties and how to gather it. Its amazing when you create something all by yourself but it WORKS!🤗🤗🤗
I'm in. Light colored hair, mostly grey/white.😅 I'm past 70 years old, have had thinning hair, but when I stopped using shampoo last summer, it started getting thicker.
I'm not on Instagram, so I'll follow along here on this platform.
Hurray! Here we go!
Im 71 too and I'm taking the challenge. Sage tea rinse is supposed to help hair return its color.
I'll give the sage a try. I have rosemary oil I've used several times on my scalp and argan oil for the length. Just growing out a longer bob. Now I want to use the clay. I've certainly noticed a healthier feel, not so dry. Not so much hair in the boar brush. A plastic scalp massager came with the rosemary oil. This has been great because my scalp can get dry and itch. In winter it's worse and I would use a comb or stiff bristle brush. @@christineribone9351
I'm 71 and I'm in!!! I've incorporated several of your wonderful techniques to include Scalp Hero massager (it's awesome!), rhassoul clay hair washing, vinegar rinse, and a silica mineral tea (and I also use it as a face toner and hair rinse), silk pillowcase, and MSM supplementation which I also use in the mineral tea when rinsing with it. WHEW! I didn't realize how of your techniques I've incorporated. I need to order ingredients for the hair oil treatment. Also, I noticed you didn't include in this video the Immune/Mineral Tea. Btw, I have more hair coming in. So excited. TY so much! ❤
Rock that long hair 🙌🏻♥️
65 and stopped using shampoo. I wash with whole eggs once a week (apx). I either put my hair up in a bun or braid it 24/7. I also finger comb to remove tangles, and brush it with boar bristle brushes. It shows signs of getting thicker (and thereby longer).
I use a hair routine from an Victorian beauty book from 1898. I use Castile soap, oils, herbal and apple cider rinses. My hair is 48” long, almost knee length. I tried your clay wash and I had trouble getting it out so I’ll stick to my Castile soap wash as my hair is healthy, shiny, and soft.
Edited to add, I’m in on the challenge except for the clay wash. Hopefully I’ll get to knee length.
How do you use castile soap, diluted, straight, just like shampoo?
@@riecaswell252 it has to be diluted, I have really long hair and 1/2 tsp mixed into 2 cup water. After rinsing out completely, I follow with a herbal tea rinse with 1 tbsp acv added. I use Dr Bronner Castile soap.
My hair is 44 1/2 long. My goal is knee! Thanks for the inspiration 😊 I am 64.
@@kathyvettraino2267do you have gray hair or you color your hair?
I am 65 and naturally silwer. I preferred to cut 10cm off of my hair last month because my ends were very thinned out from hair loss after a very sudden change in temperature(36-40°C) mid-spring(October in southern hemisphere) that got even worse at mid-summer(up to 44). It is now mid-chest length with healthy ends.
Hi, my name is Cathy and I live in Charleston South Carolina.
I have gathered all of the ingredients to start this challenge.
I am 72 years old and very sadly have lost about half of my hair volume. My hair has become very fine and thin, when it used to be very coarse and thick.
So I am very excited to try these methods.
And we are off!!🎉
How are you getting on with the challenge? ❤
What I love most about this whole hair adventure is how much more my hair is my OWN now. I've come to the belief now that what I grew up with was essentially a man's haircare, meant only for short hair! And all those 57 years I was LONGING for those flowing, expressive manes... I didn't think that I was destroying my hair, roughly brushing it while it was wet etc. I'm one year in!!! Using Shikakai instead of clay myself. Once a week. Boar bristle brush a bit more often in the second half. Hair oil often but not every week, coconut oil just a smidge if it's a bit dry. I've got twice the volume of hair than in January 2023 and I love it🌸💖!!
We're proof that ladies past their 50s can have luscious manes, too. It's not your age, it's your willingness to try something new.
@@roscothestowaway can't wait to see what 5 more years will bring!
I think my hair loves the herbs like Shikikai more than clays. I only use clay once or twice a month. Oils though changed my hair drastically.
@@TracyD2 and you can plant new bushes, which is cool climate wise imo...
@@TracyD2 you're so wise to trust yourself and learn what works best for you.
I saw your first video on hair care roughly a year ago and immediately ordered some rhassoul clay. I wish I took more photos of myself to document the amazing transformation. My hair texture is the same as yours. It was down to my butt as a child, but I cut it to my shoulders around age 12 and it never grew long again! The longest it ever grew was maybe mid-back but the length was always thin and uneven. I was resolved to thinking my hair was just naturally dry, brittle, and unmanageable. My hair is curly like yours also, so I too sported the crunchy wet look and tried every mousse and gel available. I discovered the flatiron in high school, and subsequently fried it for the next decade. I discovered clip-in extensions in my 20's and wore those for the next decade. Altogether, I had hair woes for 30 years, subtracting the first 5 years of life when I didnt care. In the past year since I saw your video, my hair has grown from shoulder length to slightly below my natural WAIST! I was amazed at how manageable my hair was even the first time using clay. I could immediately feel and see the difference in texture. I've continued to use rhassoul clay, ACV, conditioner, and jojoba oil for some extra shine, and wash it every 10 to 14 days. My hair is not only long, but thick, shiny, and heavy. It requires ZERO styling products. I've shared your video with so many people. I could never adequately express my gratitude! 🙏 ❤
I am in on the challenge. All of these methods and products are part of my routine already. So I am excited to be sharing with others. 💖
I am so excited for this challenge, I just bought all of the items on your hair care !! I am so in!! I am 56 yrs old and have always wanted longer hair. My hair is short, curly and starting to gray. I aam so excited to give this very committed effort.
Yes I’m up for the challenge. About a month ago I chopped my hip length hair off to chin length now because my hair was falling out/thinning after covid and I learned that shorter hair masks the thinning because it’s lighter/less weighed down I guess… but I miss my hair being long and thick . I need it back !
I’m down!
Fun Fact, Rhassoul comes from the Arabic word Ghusl which is "To Purify yourself" in the context of Islam Ghusl is the full head to toe cleansing Muslims do with water at different times. So with that in mind "Ghusl clay" translates to "Washing/Cleansing/Purifying clay"
Last night, I put oils into my naturally curly, very dry hair, washed with clay today, rinsed with ACV, and used one of my gentle products for styling. HOLY COW. Just one night of doing that and my hair was SO DIFFERENT. It was an amazing hair day!! Thank you so much for your content. ❤
Why my hair is stiff after using clay.. And how about acv smell? How to make our hair doesn't smell?
@@asukamai87definitely rinse the acv out with water
@@asukamai87 Have you tried rye flour? Maybe you use too much ACV? Try half a tablespoon on one liter of water. There should be no smell after the hair has dried. Instead of ACV, you could try using the same amount of lemon juice.
My reading hit right on the nose to the point I was emotional. Thank you for sharing your gift. ❤️
I feel like most of it is inspired by ayurvedic hair care practices that has been in India for thousands of years. I'm glad that people are learning about it now but it is also important to acknowledge the fact that where it all came from
💯
❤
She does - in most of her videos she says it´s ayurveda
I started this challenge last week before I knew about it! Lol.... Just getting into this type of hair care and have been binging these videos, so I'm looking forward to trying something new.
I have been washing my hair once a week for about 18 years. I also have medium-thin, graying, somewhat wavy hair that is shoulder length and has not been growing very fast. I also struggle with itchy scalp. I've tried different things as my "shampoo" through the years with varying results, including ayurvedic herbs, shampoo bars, vinegar, and Castile soap. I also dye my gray hair regularly with henna. My hair doesn't get that oily because it's not used to being washed all the time, but it does look more dull than I'd like. I'm hoping that sleeping on my new silk pillowcase, using a boar bristle brush, talking msm, using hair oil, and clay washing will help. I'll definitely keep up with these steps throughout the next month. Thank you for this timely video, Katherine!
Recently, just bought the clay, the apple cider vinegar, the aloe, vera juice, stinging nettle, rosemary, oil, sweet almond oil, and clove oil, and I am so looking forward to growing my hair throughout this newly decade of me turning 30. The bristle brush and everything 🥰☺️ I can’t wait to see how my natural frizzy curly “Jew fro” reacts 🥰❤️ loveee this channel, so happy I found it
You will love making the flaxseed gel it really defines the curls, only boil 9 minutes or it goes to thick and changes how you use it, I learnt the hard way lol❤
I coincidentally started trying out the clay wash, acv rinse and brushing with a BBB to prolong the time between washes! The rhassoul clay I bought says on the package that the rhassoul powder can be used as a dry shampoo to absorb excess oils too! So I've been using that on my roots if they're looking too oily after brushing. I have extremely fine hair and so far noticed that my waves/curls shape themselves and stay in shape longer. And my hair feels thicker/courser and just stronger in general. I also started sleeping in a bonnet and not using elastics or pins in my hair. Hair sticks and ribbons is where it's at for me!
Also, our diet is VERY IMPORTANT.
If you’re eating processed foods or any junk foods that will definitely not help your hair health.
Absolutely! 👍🏼
Totally agree. You can't forget that part of hair care.
I've kinda started similar steps previously and will be joining the challenge. My current hair state is not great, not only is my hair currently blue but I have been experiencing massive hair loss after my surgery almost a year ago now. For me I think the biggest challenge is going to be protective styles that I can get in my hair.
I love the hair oil ❤😊 especially using a scalp massager its lovely. I also use aloe vera or flax seed gel on the ends of my hair when its wet from the shower. Dry finger detangling is the ultimate patience builder. Lol❤ Keep posting these hair videos I really enjoy them and they're natural and easy to do!
I will try it. Hair is grey/white, fine, somewhat thick and chin length. Want it healthier and longer. I do use a boar bristle brush a couple of times a week and I love what it does to my hair.
like few others in the comments, i'm already doing most of these things - so i'm on. 🙂 i'm growing my hair back after chemo treatments last winter (i was done march 9 last year), so i got plenty to do. 😅 i can attest that it works, though. i think my hair would be considerably shorter, if i hadn't done any of these things. (it's not THAT long, but i think it's growing much faster than without everything i do) 💯💕💥
I will definitely be taking a few of your tips and incorporating it into my current routine! Thanks for mentioning the massaging and satin head wrap for at night!! I know that will help my hair so much! I am most likely going to purchase a boar bristle brush. Though I do currently use a vintage hair brush I found in an antique store. I use an egg to wash my hair every 7-10 days. I already apply sweet almond oil after a shower because the egg drys my hair out a little. I love rinsing my hair in rosewater! (Rose tea, technically).
I’m going to give it a go! I’ve had a similar hair journey to you growing up with my curly hair, and doing a few of these things already, so excited to see the results ❤😊
At almost 42 my hair has turned dry and brittle, at least a third has broken or come out. I saw one of your older videos about a week ago and started right in with : jojoba, castor, olive, rosemary…….😅 *
I switched everything!!!!
I bought rhassoul for my hair and cider vinegar and a boar bristle brush.
Loooong story short. My hair quality has significantly improved already. A woman actually came up to me in the grocery and told me that my hair was amazing ❤🎉
Thank you.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ❤
I love henna. I add tea, oils, honey, yogurt, egg,. My straight thin hair to seal i can actually manage a heavy castor oil, but love tea tree, argon, grape seed and sunflower oils.
I am excited to participate in the challenge. Curly hair / shoulder length, stopped washing with shampoo and conditioner about a month ago and purchased supplies for the clay wash and homemade hair old. Started using a boar bristle brush and already my hair feels healthier and softer. Loving the protective hairstyles as well. Thank you for putting together the challenge and all the helpful videos🌿
I got my Clay two weeks ago and i am just amazed how well it gets my hair perfectly clean. I also started at this point with linseedgel and with hair oiling a few weeks before. I have had to cut my hair because of massive postpartum hairloss two years ago and massive new hair growth due to the start of taking msm about 2 years ago. The hair was so thin at the ends, it had to come of... i am now at shoulder length hair, maybe little shorter... the biggest gamechanger was my sleeping cap, i use it now about two years and i have no breakage at all... i hope this time i can get long hair and i am possitive your routine will help❤
I’m on a challenge! I do everything, oils are still very heavy for my wavy porous hair, I use only organ oil as a base, and a little of your mixture😁my hair gets oily, I use cocoa during the week as a dry shampoo, a bristle brush milks me like a magic wand. My husband says my hair looks unkempt, but it has become much healthier and more vibrant. There is, of course, a difference in modern hair washed and blow-dried. But I like my hair better now, it seems younger and breathing! In the video I would like to see only you and your hair , thank you very much 🌷
gentle hair combing, clay washing, vingear rinse, oiling. is what im going to try
A few months ago, i started making my own
Henna shampoo bars! And I'm never going back to commercial shampoos!
Do you have a recipe that you can share? TY!
@katherinesewing thank you for setting up this challenge! I have shared it with my group from church and various friends, we are into it. #thanks #katherinesewing #hairgrowthchallenge2024
I am in! I started on some of your techniques for the last year on and off, but due to horrible scalp issues have know I need start. I think this is going to help so much.
I just recently changed my hair routine based off yours and some other ladies’ recommendations. I’m just about to bottle my hair oil, which I can’t wait to use. So I was already on board but I’m glad to have company!
Count me in! ❤️ I've been using some of Katherine's methods for over a year now and have had glorious results. I've got baby hairs forming that are already several inches long. The overall health, shine and length of my hair is unreal. I NEVER received compliments on my hair until the last year. Best of all, this has been so much fun and a welcome routine. For those who are afraid of no poo, consider a few tiny drops of castile liquid soap with the aloe juice and water. I personally use a tiny bit of baking soda with water for my poo. It's what's best for me. Trust yourself and go for it. Katherine's advice is sound, proven, low cost, etc. Most of all, make it an adventure!
Hi, how much of BSoda do you use?
I have been using Katherine's oil blend for almost a year and started noticing the baby hairs after 3 months or so. I just found out today that some women cut fake baby hairs and even pluck their hairline to get that "new growth" appearance.
@@lumay333 anywhere from 1 t to 1 T depending on how much oil I have on my hair. I always wash it twice before vinegar rinse. Better to go too little soda. Too much will dry out your ends!
Very excited about the challenge. Can't wait to start.
I am new and late to the challenge but I would like to know where you bought your shower head? Thank u. I can hardly wait to try all these recommendations ❤
As of December 3rd (2023), I have been doing most, but not all of your hair tips/routines.
I threw out all my hair ties and bought hair pins, side combs, and hair sticks.
I have also been wadhing my hair with clay ever since and alternating betwren fenugreek and flaxseed.
I have been using a satin hair sleep bonnet since July 2023 and I love it. I have been washing my hair once a week fof 14 years now.
I can honestly say, that since ive incorporated several of your tips/routines, my hair has gotten so much thicker. And doesnt feel thin anymore. It reminds me of what my hair used to feel like in my 20's and 30's.
My hair is dow. To my tailbone, but my lifelong goal is to have it reach my knees...or longer. I now know that it is do-able.
Thank you.
Satin and silk are actually quite different when you get down to the fiber structure, silk being much better for your hair.
These practices stem from vedic science and have been practiced for centuries in india and still honored in homes un india, its good to see how this is heing perpetuated to alleviate current lifedtyle problems and promote healthy hair growth in the west too
Definitly jumping in. Thank you for all the knowledge Katherine ☺
I’m in! I tried clay washing last week before knowing how to apply it. It definitely made the hair feel heavy and I always rinse with cider vinegar. I will watch your video on applying the clay wash. Good luck !
Im in I was doing it when you first brought out your hair videos and I loved every part of it,I actually got to spend time on me,but recently past few months life got busy and I even used shampoo (was horrible)😢 so this video has made me exciting again ❤, from doing your hair care routine previous over a year my hair grew so much.What I absolutely love the most is the flaxseed gel having curly hair it defines the curls so beautifully.Thanks Katherine you have excited me again, I'm off to the health shop to get my clay ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m in! I bought the clay and made your oil last year. Tried a few times but got discouraged. Right now I am using shampoo and conditioner that are not ideal (silicones) but hate to waste things so want to finish it up. Most likely be finished right in time for the challenge. I was reading in natural hair care about using a sulfate shampoo to wash off the silicones before going more natural route. So if anyone is in that boat, might want to look into that.
I stumbled onto your channel searching for natural ways to help my hair. I'm in for the challenge. My hair became damaged when I got the virus. I lost massive amounts of my once thick hair. It's still in bad shape. I continue to have massive breakage. Very dry. I miss the hair I once had.
Hi
I'm been using the Herbal hair oil for the last 6 months. The health of my hair has improved so much. I stopped using traditional shampoo and conditioner. It dried out my hair to much and made it very brittle. I use Dr. Brommers to cleanse my hair, but I'm willing to take your challenge and start with the Clay wash.
I haven't cut my hair since before Covid. So my hair now is at Bust Level. My friends want to know what I'm doing , so I'm sending them to your channel.
Thanks for your great videos.
😊
What was the ingredients madam
@hamdiahmedsacid7191 If you watch the video, of Catherine's hair oil, she gives an ingredients list. I apply it after washing my hair.
😄
How do you use the Dr Bonners to clean your hair?
I am going to do the challenge I'm ready and excited. After loosing my hair to bleaching so I need this
I started a few of these last week, so I'll join you for this challenge!
I'm new to your channel but I've already started with the clay and jojoba oil and practicing hair health styling. I'm so excited to see how it goes. I'm in for the challenge. My poor hair has lost volume, lost my curls and I've always had thin hair. I'm hoping for reversal and thicker hair.
Waist length hair here. I do no water sebum only method and mine is growing like weeds. Less is more as washing is stressful for hair. Your plaits method for washing is good though.
I’ll join! I’ve already been shopping some of these but I’ll add some more to my routine
Another one in on the challenge- pregnant, so wont be doing the msm, will be having liver powder instead. Ordered boar brushes, will have my little 4yr old in on the challenge too haha. Will prob try for a year. Hoping for thigh length hair (eventually) currently belly button length!
So amazing your hair!!!
Thank you!
I'm in, awhile back I bought rhassoul clay and I needed a little push to give it a try!
I’m gonna participate! I have long hair but would like to focus on scalp health!!!!
I am up for the challenge! I am going to make my hair oil today
Ur ideas are great !
Along with that we can also apply herbal hair packs which helps to nourish and also promotes to long and thick hair in short period of time.
Man i wanna grow my hair to my feet not just my back 😢 will try your challenge tho❤
Has anyone with gray hair tried her hair oil with the henna in it? If so, did it change the color at all? I know from her video we can substitute with the cassia, but I personally would like to do the henna because of its benifits. I just don't want to color or yellow out my grays even if it's a slight change.
Wonderful info..Thank you, I will be going this challenge
I started this in October 2022, and my hair is so much better now. Had covid in February 2022 and my hair was falling out following that. So thin that I actually bought a wig, not a fan of it. Found Katherine and thought why not try it. My hair is growing and has come back in and is much better than it was 10 years ago. Wish I had found this method years ago.
i think i might have had COVID too. two thirds of my hair fell out in 2022.
Hey!! Would you consider making a video on how you cut your own hair??!!💕 I would appreciate that so much!✨
Yes, that is on my video to-do list 🙂
I implemented a few techniques right away after finding your videos a month and a half ago. I completely changed my entire hair care routine and the results have been amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I haven't tried the clay wash so I will try that as my challenge in February! I might make my own oil but initially I went with the Curly Proverbs oil because it was already mixed for me. Baby steps!
This is the push I needed! I bought the clay, bristle brush, massage brush, oil, etc. over a year ago when I first found you ☺️😊
Sameeee! Haha 😂 the clay has been sitting under my bathroom sink for months!
But the clay makes my hair stiff, how to handle that. 😢
@@asukamai87Which kind of clay are you using, how much are you using, and do you wash the clay out after using it? And are you using an acidifying rinse like ACV afterwards to resoften your hair?
@@Kiterpuss i use indian healing bentonite clay because in my country, it is hard to find rassoul clay. I mix 2 spoon of bentonite clay and 2 spoon acv and add a cup of water, and i put on my hair like 10 minutes. After that i rinse with warm water and in the end with cold water. My hair type is thin and fine hair with low porosity hair.. Pls give me some advice🙏
@@asukamai87 The way clay cleans hair is by electrochemically binding to the molecules of oil and dirt on the hair/skin. Adding something acidic like ACV might be affecting that reaction.
Modern shampoos combine the cleansing and softening steps of cleaning your hair, but clay will only do the cleansing step. Rinsing it out and then doing a separate ACV rinse (one option for the softening step) might work better for you.
It also might help to do some kind of moisturizing treatment on your hair if it's stiff because it's dry.
Guys this woman is giving us GOLD advice ❤ thank you so much for your content!
And yes, I’m in the challenge as well!✨ Even though all of these products and techniques are a part of my routine already (except clay washing and drinking msms). The key here is consistency! This challenge will help you build habits that will drastically change your hair! 😻No, perhaps you won’t see extreme changes in your length but you will definitely see a healthier shinier hair.
I’ve been focusing on the health of my hair for the past year and now the length is just a side bonus!
I simply love seeing how my hair has become stronger, thicker and shinier ❤
i'm. Such a great invitation, thank you 💞
Me and my daughter in law are doing at least 4 of them.
I am so happy, that I find you here! I startet to oily my natural curls like yours, two days before. I need to buy clay. I start to wash my hair with rye flouer. Did you tried rye flour? The hair after is really soft and smooth. Thanks for this callenge and good luck to all! ♥
Thanks for the suggestion!
I am in!
I have never been able to grow my hair padt my collar bone and am almost 30. I tried no poo, diet, supplements, but i realized my hair is dry and likely loss due to breakage so now I focus a lot on that. I am the perfect guinea pig to see how well this challenge helps.
I have the same problem. I hope this works for you. Maybe we'll both have longer hair soon.
I started following you a year ago and saw many great results. We moved in August 2023 and I fell off the wagon of being good to my hair. I’m IN for the challenge and appreciate all of your hair and sewing video’s, Katherine! You are a terrific inspiration to so many!! Best of luck everyone!!!🙏🩵
This sounds like fun! I am doing several of these things: protective hair style, boar bristle brush, washing less frequently(every 2 weeks). I have tried the Rhassoul clay but I have a question: What does a healthy scalp look and feel like? Mine seems to be about the same if I use the clay or a "regular" shampoo. Also, I have heard you mentioned recently that your hair is now thigh length. That's so exciting to hear that it is Still growing! It's beautiful! I also have tried the hair oil but my hair is fine consistency and I did not like how oily it made my hair ( I had to wash 2X and it still didn't really come out). However, from listening to this video I can see that I should only use a Miniscule amount ( if you are only using a drop or two). It will be 2 years in February since I shaved my head (for fun). Since then I have gained more appreciation for having long hair. It's now about 12 inches (from my scalp). I look forward to when I can measure it from my ears down. I so enjoy your videos! Thank you! I want to take up this challenge.
A healthy scalp is one that is moisturized but free of buildup, with good circulation. Thanks for sharing your hair growth journey so far!
Tension loss or sleeping friction has been my biggest concern. The cap's are out and changing my styling to attempt to stop patches.
Have you tried silk / satin pillowcases?
I’m in!! I have been watching your videos and slowly rolling into historical hair care full time with an occasional switch back. I have fine, light colored, wavy, leans to the oily side type of hair, but this hair care is doing the trick! So excited for this journey! Maybe this will do the trick and I’ll never look back 😊
All in!
I am on! ❤
Well, I discovered your channel 1 week and a half ago and tried your routine for the 1st time 5 days ago. I am going to copy paste my comment so it will be easier for me to find it and update it.
"01/14 : I tried this routine for the 1st time and OMG, my hair looks amazing!!! I have curly hair (3b, 3c) and my curls are really defined and shiny for cheap (my normal routine costs 176€ vs 37€ here without counting the cost of tools). Let's see how it goes in the long term, I hope to see growth.
I did pre-poo with coconut oil, dry detangled with my hands, did 4 braids (even though my hair is way shorter), washed with rhassoul (I let it sit for 3 minutes), rinced with ACV that I let in my hair (I used to rince with ACV a few years ago so my hair is used to it), then I styled it with my denman brush and flaxseed gel (I put some hibiscus in it for the color), let my hair dry first with my diffuseur in cold air then naturally and I finished with broccoli oil (known for being light on the hair and is anti frizz).
I don't know how long it will lasts, I hope it will stay that way for at least 3 days then I will do protective hairstyle. I hope I will remember this comment to do an update for 1st month 3rd month, 6th month and 1st year."
01/19 :I can already say 5 days later that my hair lasted 3 days like I wanted, then I did protective hairstyles using my flaxseed gel, broccoli oil and my boar bristle brush (already had one). I will do my 2nd wash in 2 days.
Hey, Everyone, I found another good channel for curly girls. Her channel is Greenbeauty, and she explains the science behind a lot of the products/practices that Katherine is teaching.
I am in with Y’all ❣️
I lost a LOT of my hair 6 months ago (it was waist length) and I am excited to try this!!! Love Y’all ❣️
Today I washed my hair with clay for the first time in my life and I just found out that my hair is actually curly,not wavy or straight as I tought.
Im 65 i have been struggling with thinning hair ever since having chronic lyme. But it was coming along as i started taking better care of it. In 2022 my hair was long enough to sit on. Then cvid hit I lost 2\3 of my hair. It was coming back and I got infected with lymelast summer. So thinning hair again, but then my husband passed in Aug 2023. With all the stress the hair that was coming back I lost yet again. So starting with my thin fine hair, I might like to try the challenge. It certainly won't hurt!
Really trying to strength myself after chronic Lyme! Not to mention emotional stress takes so much from a body!
Yes chronic lyme is so hard on our bodies. Lyme causes stress so we stress out more, its a vicious cycle. We need to find ways to be calm. For me I need to assess my situation. That is is my anxiety do to a circumstance or dehydration. Usually it is caused by dehydration. With Lyme it is hard to stay hydrated. So find a good source of electrolytes to see if that helps. Above all my faith in my Saviour Yahusha gets me through. I hope that you find a way to find peace so you can heal.🙏🙏
My friend you are the one that started me on my journey to grow my hair long. I had my hair cut chin length one year ago, and it has grown 18cm over this time. I thank you for the inspiration and knowledge. God bless you
I tried the clay thing last year, but I couldn’t get it right. I probably didn’t give it enough time as you said in your video it takes time for your scalp to adjust, but I just couldn’t take my hair being so greasy so I went back to commercial shampoo. I use Surface though, which is a natural based haiecair line and it’s very expensive. Luckily I get a discount as a licensed hairdresser. I think that and purology are the next best thing if your hair can’t adjust to her tips or you don’t have the time to concoct your own.
I could hear you for ours ❤
Katherine! 👋🤩I believe that the 100%pure website is almost entirely sold out of all their beauty products because YOU recommended them! Your religious following snatched all the goods up! Way to go lady! 🎉
I’m in on the challenge too! Just gotta gather supplies! 😅
I have been using many of your techniques for a year or more. I started with scalp message, and jojoba oil on ends, I made the herbal scalp oil a few months ago and have done several treatments. I tried the clay wash once, but it was very messy and difficult to apply. I am definitely in on this challenge.
Good morning, I have a request.
I saw in your apple cider rincé short that your hair was pinned up in what looked like milkmaid braids. Can you demonstrate how you do that? My hair is thick and straight and the weight of it causes sagging within a couple of hours.
Thanks, I love your channel!
I have a long video on this channel showing all of the different protective hairstyles I know, including that one. ua-cam.com/video/Xeep1tqHENg/v-deo.html There are timestamps to jump to the milkmaid braids style.
Hello. I'm very interested in joining this challenge. My hair is very short, and oily. I've been trying to go no poo, just using conditioner. It seems as though my hair is ok, but I really want to have long healthy hair. I also do a cold rinse on my hair before I get out of the shower to help close my hair follicles. Do you have any other ideas for someone, (me) with oily hair? Thank you so much for your videos. God bless you and your family!!
I am definitely taking part in your challenge! I just recently started bristle boar brushing, taking MSM, and using oil (on my scalp and ends). However, I'm going to make your hair oil recipe and also add in regular scalp massages. I've never had hair past my bra. It grows slow &/or breaks off before it can get long. I'm hoping with these methods to get my hair to at least waist length. 🙏💗🙏
I'm afraid to do the clay wash, because i have a septic system.
I have septic too I have been using cleansing conditioner without any issues
I've started the challenge, but when it comes to the clay wash, I can't get rhassoul clay in my area or bentonite clay, so I've tried red clay and the ACV rinse (there was caolin clay as well but I didn't try it). As a result, my hair was really shiny but also super rough and stringy. Maybe I didn't wash it off well enough? Or what can I change next time I try? I really wanna make it work.
I have thin curly hair. I wash it every 7-10 days. When I do wash it, I lose a lot of hair. I don't brush my hair much. I use a wide tooth comb and my fingers. My question is, which option would you suggest I try from this challenge? The clay, the oil, the aloe, ACV, the boar brush? Thanks!
I been growing my hair the last 3 years . Longest it’s ever been. It’s super healthy ! But I’m excited to get it better ! I have zero dye . Been using oils now and boar hair brush
I washed my hair with the clay last Saturday and rinsed it with acv. I thought I rinsed my hair in the well, there was no color in the water. But it changed my gray hair to a strawberry blond! Why? What did I do wrong? But I am up to the hair challenge. My hair cannot handle a lot of extra oil either. It is really fine and it can be ouly on its own.
Gday, I’m a natural light golden blonde and my hair can stain ridiculously easy, so I have to be very careful and only use oils etc that are white, clear or a very pale yellow. I tried at one time a cassia hair mask..... well did my hair become a strange golden yellow, (think cartoon character yellow colour) it was horrible, but thankfully it eventually washed out. I haven’t tried clay washes yet as the little research I’ve done, fullers clay or white kaolin clay would be the only two I could use as they are light and shouldn’t stain?! (I’d probably only try the white kaolin clay as even the fullers earth could possibly stain or bleach the hair) Also ACV definitely stains light hair, so again I’d have to use only white vinegar or lemon juice as the rinse. Hopefully someone else with more experience with gray, white or blonde hair can give you more advice. Hope this was helpful sorry I couldn’t give better advice as I’m still researching myself.
Are you making another video about how everyone did on one month challenge?
Yes, once I have compiled enough before and after photos from people I will make a video about it.
I have bought several different boar bristle brushes and I felt like they were causing split ends and frizz.
I tried using rhassoul soap made for hair washing but it was too drying S my hair is thick and very curly s o now i use castille soap mixed with coconut milk and distilled water. I do use the oils you suggested including caccao butter which is really hydrating and leave them in overnight
A little late but I tried rhassoul for the second time ever yesterday and I absolutely love the result. My hair is shiny and happy and clean!! I use herbal infused vinegar all the time but the clay was a total game changer. My hair grows really fast, so we will see how it looks in another year. right now it is only touching my shoulders and I'm having a hard time figuring out protective hair styles for my multi-length hair.
Having the hair always braided.... my hair roots start to hurt a few hours later....
Amazing! I was meditating last night and visualized a head of hair much like yours. I was bold enough in my meditation to own that hair as mine. Then, lo and behold, today I see this video. I’m in!
Im in for the challenge, cant wait! - BUT im ordering all the things ill need today and if they arrive before january 31st im not waiting!
I had glorious curly thick hair my whole life and wore it waist long most of my life... until i had a baby at 25 yrs old and that was the end of my hair. Ive had terrible alopecia since having my one and only child 16 years ago and im now half bald and nothing i do improves it.
When i first met my husband 6 years ago, he later told me the first thought he had was "this lady's going bald!" So thats the first impression i make when meeting peoole! Haha!
I'd given up on having hair at all TBH but im doing this hair care routine religeously from now on.
Thankyou so so much for all this info ❤
