I love the fact that you showed us your hair in it's true state in all stages! From beginning to end! Honestly showing us your hair loss and gains. I wish you the best! You are beautiful!
I know right and look at how thick it is still despite the shedding❤️
My dry scalp would never allow me 5 months it barely allows 1 month. That growth was crazy I would be so impatient and want to take the braids out everyday
You gotta wet it, deep condition it, oil it all while it’s in the braids.
I have problems with itchy scalp.
It's possible the key is to take care of it like you would if it wasn't in braids wash, deep condition, condition, moisture, oil it all that just keep up with the normal routine it gets easy to access the scalp after 3weeks the growth would have lifted the braids of your scalp so you do whatever, massage even literally everything
@@brucerobinson9869 I do this and my hair is still dry most of the time 😭 I’m trying hair grease next time I put on oil so the moisture really stays locked in
@@pumpkinjelly13 you know you need that blue grease everybody granny had 🤣
People used to say I was crazy when I told them I wear my braids for months at a time too. Plus it does make your hair grow alot
I used to wear braid for 3 months
@@blessed9837 I still do and my hair is super long and healthy
It true, the longer I keep my hair the longer it grows
@@vandiyaginzanza6362 Right
Only one month for me. My mom grows my hair
Keeping hair in definitely makes your hair grow and I tried it. The way I detangle, I unplait each braid, take my spray bottle with water and add some conditioner, shake it up, part my hair, spray it in my scalp (massage it in until the build up melts), and saturate the strands of my hair with. Ignore those who have a side comment about the way you decide to take care of YOUR hair.
@Trinity M Exactly, you could get that same growth without braids if you just retain length.
Neglecting isn't the best way to 'take care' of your hair.
@@sarahabeid2432 neglecting is completely ignoring your meaning not hydrating your hair, blah blah blah. They're obviously doing things to maintain it like oiling it ect. And from their comment it looks like they're seeing good results. And like they said dont follow what other people say because you know what's best for it
@@moonliqx2211 seeing results doesn't mean what your doing is right. Long time damage takes time to notice.
Oiling the hair without washing it can cause build up which leads to dandruff and other infections, unhealthy for the scalp.
@@sarahabeid24321. when did I say or anyone say they didnt wash their hair when the oil.
2. What I mean by results is helathy results (which is pretty obvious because if after a period of time tour seeing damage or whatever youd reflect on what you are doing nd tey to find the cause) meaning seeing growth and seeing making sure their is no damage and what you are doing is good for your hair
Ughhhh the feeling of seeing your hair after its been put away for so long😭😭😭 is the best!
Frr
IKR IT'S SO EXCITING TO SEE!!
People get the most breakage during the take down,you should moisturize each braid,put lots of oil then take down,gentle comb out that braid,Don’t make one big comb out on dry hair,you will lose so much hair
Facts I’m licensed and that’s the best way to do a take down well it is for me 🤷🏽♀️
Yes I noticed that when I took my hair down from my sew in I had less breakage bc I was oiling my scalp
@@laurynniquebeauty ua-cam.com/video/4ieELUVCILo/v-deo.html
Tysm
I love putting my hair in braids for 3 months at a time, it’s a great protective style that allows me access to my scalp. So, I am able to do scalp
treatments with much ease.
Thank u pointing out how hard it is manage natural hair every day thats why I always keep my hair in braids as well
yess
Yesss and plus if we were to be messing with it frequently, it wouldn’t even retain the length
Thanks for being real about how much hair you lost. The thicker your hair is the more it will shed. Great video
Wow I didn't know that
the dirtier it is, the more it sheds as well @@Aquarian231990
@@Aquarian231990 yep. New strands are coming in daily on a healthy scalp.😀
The hair, the voice, the accent, the clear smooth skin.....🔥🔥🔥🔥😍🤭
Please. That girl is just nasty. She must smell so horrible.
Your hair is so long, healthy, thick, and beautiful!❤
Girl....... Your hair is beautiful and I totally get it. I’m just relieved at how much hair you lost. I know there should be some shedding but honey sometimes I’m scared to look in the mirror 😂
Yeah! Silk press with trim. I live for it can't wait to see. Your hair is everything 😍
You inspired me to try 5 months 😭 I did 3 months last year with knotless braids and right now I’m on month 2 with some mini braids. I took down some braids to see the growth and 😍 just wow. Crazy how washing, spraying with water and grease can do the best for your hair. Ima keep these in 3 more months 🤞🏾 the trick isn’t only to keep it maintained but to try new/different styles! Cuttung the braids shorter, curling the ends, wearing a head wrap etc. just switch it up so you don’t get bored 😌 also, for anyone suffering from dry scalp try the greenhouse method! It works!
mini braids can really damage your hair when letting them in too long just wash and re do them
Please explain the green house method
@@malaika3231 agreed, but I know this mainly happens when you don’t wash and moisturize them. I now have locs and I started them with twists. it’s been super beneficial in my length retention and my hair is also getting thicker. I believe the only reason I’ve had such good results it because I keep them moisturized and don’t manipulate my hair too much and this prevents breakage
@@naturalhairssentials2407 GHE (Greenhouse Effect) is a method used to help retain moisture in dry hair by using a plastic cap (or plastic bag) to create a warm and moist atmosphere, like in a greenhouse. The heat and moisture on the scalp help stimulate sebum production (our hair’s natural oil) and helps penetrate each strand. Folks who have tried this method have reported softer, silkier and easier hair to detangle. It also helps detox and cleanse the scalp of any buildup. It’s just like deep conditioning except you don’t wash your hair out!
I also highly recommend soft locs. Super beneficial and they’re easy to do on yourself!
Love it! I left my braids in for 3 months last year and haven’t done it again but want to. I’m very tempted to get another wig to just slap over my mini plaits that I have in now and do another 3 months or more.
😅😅you made me laugh this morning!! As soon as you took the bonnet off!! Thank you for this! Ima make a note to keep my braids in for 3-5 months ...😢it's gonna be hard... but I'm growing my hair back from a big chop....
Great video. I just removed my crochet and flat ironed it fir the first time since going natural 2 years ago. Amazing results
You can wash and condition your hair with braids in them during that 5 months.
I felt the “hallelujah “ 😭😭😭 whenever I take braids out I feel that , I have a dry scalp and is hell there
Here from tiktok🙋🏿♀️ love your hair girl
“Don’t tell me, I’m telling you” 😂😂😂😂
Me: I am going to keep this braids for a month.
My braids: smiles at me
Two weeks later
Me: Why is my scalp itching me so much?
My braids: Take me out now!
Me: okay.
Are you spraying water on your scalp and oil or grease it? Helps a lot!
🤣👍🏽
Are you washing your hair in the protective style.i prefer every 2 weeks.
I’m glad I’ve seen this as I’m about to take down my 5 months braids I’m nervous but there’s SOOO MUCH new growth but I’m still scared to DETANGLER lol
keeping braids in does not "make your hair grow" lol. your hair is always growing unless medically otherwise. All it is is Length Retention!! Think about it...its how dread heads can grow their hair very long because they are RETAINING everything thats growing from their scalp. if you are focusing on "fast hair growth" with no proper maintenance you are wrong, you wont retain the length because your hair can still grow "fast" but break off, if that makes sense. even with braids you still cant neglect your hair if you want to retain whats growing at whatever rate.
@@Crazyee8 how are they wrong?
@@Crazyee8 yes they do. I’m licensed and your hair is always growing unless you have something like alopecia where the follicles aren’t dormant anymore. All of this just to look and smell trifling. Hair is apart of hygiene as well. You think someone wants to lay next to someone with their scalp gunked up? Not to mention all growth ain’t healthy growth. There is a niche for black women abandoning their hair and it’s enabling black women not to care for their hair. Black women state all the time hair is important to them but take care of the bundles more than their hair 💯 She has just over 1k subscribers and got a bunch of views from being trifling. She most likely has scalp problems or will 💯 She is getting the views but people are talking crap. Healthy hair needs a clean scalp to thrive. It doesn’t mean anything when you grow 2 inches and have to cut the 2 inches off when it’s time to trim.
@@curlynella1011 Facts. 🙏
@@curlynella1011 Her hair looks long and healthy so it works for her 🤷🏾♀️. Now all that glue in the front she should be careful with as it can take off the hairline after awhile.
@@jk9084 abandoning your hair all the time isn’t going to yield great results. It’s like the body. Keep eating unhealthy and eventually the doctor will tell you, something is wrong and you have to do something about it. Hair can only take so much abuse before it decides to break off. Abusing your hair definitely isn’t the solution 💯 Her hair is long but it looks dry. Her hair survived this time but if she keeps doing this, I promise it will be major breakage. Not to mention when she straightens it, that will really give us an overs of her hair. You have to get to your hair to actually take care of it. Not braid it up and abandon it 💯
I think it's still a good idea to wash your hair while it's in these braids and moisturize it just as you normally would. Because that build up, woah, how did your scalp survive??😂😂😂 Since they're in the braids, you have better access to your scalp and wash days don't take as long because you don't have to detangle. And since you're wearing them under a wig, the frizziness that comes with washing the hair isn't such a huge deal because it's not 'ruining the style' or anything.
But I know it's a bit satisfying to have extremely dirty hair and wash it nice and clean. Like the transformation is so gratifying😂
i almost droped dead when she said she did not wash it for 5 months and all that gunk in the front actually is dirt and grime and not only wig glue
Wow your hair is gorgeous I love the fullness
I can barely go two weeks with my braids in. That build up would have been giving me a headache for that entire 5 months. 😮💨
I keep mine for 3 months, it those make your hair grow,your hair is beautiful, new sub
“Don’t be alarmed”😭
You should try twists or mini braids. It’s a cute protective style and I leave mine in for 6 weeks
your hair looks good and healthy..I think you could wash it once a month while still in braids to get rid of build up and help the itch.. would take like 10mins if you do it while in the shower.. ❤
Does washing it make it prone to breakage?
@@mery_lv_c no
Just started watching you & i love your vibe! 😘
thank you🥰
@@laurynniquebeautyI love your hair I still have box braids on and it's been 3 months
You should try the Girl+Hair products. They were made by a black dermatologist to help black girls cleanse their scalp and take care of their hair while in protective styles.
You are good I can’t even go 3 weeks without washing
Same! I could never do this. Too nasty for me.
New subbie here...Hey, Girl hey🥰 I love your hair and you are gorgeous 💌
hii welcome! thank you sm pretty❤️
I love it ! This is awesome, best one yet.
“don’t tell me…i’m telling you” LMFAO
I’ve had my braids in since June 22nd and and taking them out tomorrow. I used to try to make them last when I paid people, but now that I do my own I get bored after a month 💀
Your hair is so beautiful and looks very healthy 🥰🥰🥰
I hope you have change your take down method for long extended braids... you should oil, shower cap to create a heated barrier... and individually takedown each conrow and use your fingers to separate the matting from where your braids has been sitting and using a cood conditioner to return the moisture before moving to the next braid the amount of hair loss will reduce by large numbers... just a tip 😉 I use.
Your hairs so beautiful 😩😭❤👏🏾👏🏾
Realest 5 months of braids I've seen yet
Damn..your hair's beautiful..talk about hair goals, my hair's still at 10 inches and I'm hoping to grow it to 20 inches in 2 years time, is that possible 🙁
anything is possible bae . just keep oil on your scalp and do some protective styles!
Woow your si so amazing 🤩💝 Sister is only the braid that you did or what 🥺❤️❤️❤️
hi Lauryn your hair looks great and healthy, I think I should try keeping it in braids for a while as well. I need help how i know that my hair needs to be trimmed or not, and on how to trim it
Check the video of Deeper than hair on God to trim it
Girrrrrl I wasn’t ready ima just say that. Lol. But I’m here for it. Cuz I’ve been thinking to do the same thing
@5:31 gorgeous
How do you moisturize while it's in braids? Do you add water or just oils?
Did you wash it?😩
I could never
I plan on doing this for 6 months just braided my hair down a week ago. I use this grease called chapter 2000 every night its like if batana oil and sulphur 8 had a baby, and once a week i plan to use witch hazel on my scalp and moisturize my ends. ❤❤❤❤ i hope to get as much growth as you did lovely
Can you show how you prepare your hair to put back in braids
I just got me a bomb wig and I lie to y’all not I will be doing this! I want long hair again and I’m gonna get it lol lol shout-out to her for keeping it real and all that beautiful hair! I’m a new subscriber 🤗❤️💁🏽♀️🙌🏾God bless!
What hair cream do u use in your hair to grow what your main hair cream
The ones that get it get it the ones who don't simply just don't 🤣 keep doing you babes I personally think it's cool and fun to watch the growth awesome video 💐
I started the video and I was dang she’s pretty 😍 ❤😂
My hair always grows out in a months. Longest I went was a month and a half, I can only keep it in long for my own hair and it just grew to the point where I won't feel the need for weave. (It's at my armpit)
I just did 3 months and I very wel could have gone longer but that detangle session be hell for me 😂
I leave my hair in for a long time too if u have the time get a spray bottle put leave in conditioner in it n spray it every other day in you hair n oil ever other day u will have less build up , Lovley hair btw
I currently have 5 month old braids in my head. I’m so so scared to take them down because at the beginning of some braids it’s not connected to the scalp anymore 🥺
omg. please take them out asap
Yes like she said please take them down asap
I would do a hot oil treatment before clarifying, shampooing, and deep conditioning
Then trim afterwards, I hope your hair isn't so bad all around
That meed pretty normal to me. My hair is still thick and full, it just grew out and pulled out of some braids. It unravels with the takedown, but your hair should be fine.
Omg... Take them out yesterday 😂
Ppl gone say something but it works for you so do you!
Great video n u have the patience of a Saint lol
Sis, did you never wash your braids either? I keep my braids long time too but at least once a month, I wash the braids to keep my scalp healthy and clean to prevent any bad things happening under there.
it has to be smelling
@@malaika3231 depends on her lifestyle. If she be sweating all the time, it might be smelly, or of it gets really dirty with actual dirt it might smell, but depending on the products she used it might not smell much.
@@ricaivory6571 stop playing you know them braids stink 💀
@@zooweellama not if she washed them. Black women do that all the time to keep braids and prevent stinking. I even do that for my kids to keep braids long.
@@ricaivory6571 bruh, literally look at her head. she was not washing them braids 😭😭 "Black women do that all the time to keep braids and prevent stinking" this is definitely an assumption. Alot of black women do not wash their braids and if they did it damn sure wouldnt look like hers in the video. Atleast for me the one time i washed my hair while in braids it matted up and i lost a lot of hair when taking it down. This is why i dont wash my hair when its braided but this also means i cant leave them in for too long.
I was not prepared😱
Your hair is gorgeous
Ooouuu all that hair 😍
It’s the college student part for me I do not have the time baby, being in nursing school. I would wear my braids for minimum 3 months.
So did you wash your hair at all at any point during the 5 months?
You can wash your hair with it braided
Her: “Y’all my shirt is officially out”
POV me: 😱🥴😍❤️
I would Have loved to see how you managed to wash that 😩😩
maybe next time!
Did you moisturized or wet your hair while it was braided?? And if so how often?
2 times a week, wash it with soap, scrub the scarp to remove buildup
You have beautiful hair ❤
Girl that hair! 💙
Thank you for sharing! Your gorgeous sis
Sweet girl 🤗 reminds me of my daughter🤗🤗
idk if your intro is new but it’s soooo cute!!
thank you! it’s always been this way!!
So in the 5 months is it still possible to wash your hair ? Does it start to stink ?
Beautiful hair😍😍😍
I can’t have my hair in cornrow for more than two weeks without a wash. My face would breakout so badly and my itchy scalp would kill me. No jokes.
Did your scalp get itchy during that 5 month time period. I usually keep my braids in 6 weeks because my scalp gets itchy
I usually keep my twists in for 2 months and my hair is almost waist length
What's your routine for washing?
@@confusedstar-cosmic5517 I start off by using warm olive oil to finger detangle my hair. Due to the longevity of product and build-up, I use a clarifying shampoo concentrating on my scalp mostly. I use a moisture-rich deep conditioner( I have low-porosity hair and my hair hates protein).Then I apply an aloe vera and water based spray leave-in conditioner,while in the shower. After that, I use a heavier cream and lighter gel, and twisting my hair.
Mine grew from bottom neck to armpit in about a year or so. It's really not much to it now, except trying to scalp braid or flat twist is hard. And I can't do weave 🙈 I just shampoo/condition while my hair is dry, rinse it out, and detangle as I put it in the go to twists
@@shakielneethling419 what do you do while your hair is in the twists? Do you have a routine for that?
Seriously I'm sure i can't carry my hair this long without washing
She probably washed it while it was braided
I was wondering if I might get crazy with all this length. I want my hair to grow to a certain length 😩 this is a great video .
I can't only leave braids 8 or 10 weeks max ....
she washed it consistently girl 😭. she just left them in braids. so if she washed every 2 weeks she didn’t take out the braids
oh nah…. i didn’t wash them at all bae LOOOL
@@laurynniquebeauty OH. omg girl!! 😭😭😭 i don’t know if i would have survived without doing that. but ur hair looks beautiful and healthy
did u put oils in it while in protective style or moisturizer ?
BEAUTIFUL thick healthy hair.
Being a college student myself I undestand fully what u been going through is there any other go to hairstyles u do when u feel lazy to do your hair?
Am I the only person who wears my cornrows regular, like I don’t wear wigs or lace fronts or anything, but I will rock my cornrows and I leave them in for a good 3-4 weeks too
Love that
I do it. I thought I was the only one 😂
Wow beautiful hair 🥰! How do you keep it moisturized during the 5 months?
I dont know u but girl im so in love with u ❤ from jamaica
wait so how you watch your hair? cause my hairbe itching like crazy
ur a survivor I could never😢
Do u watch ur hair while in this protective style?
Girl your hair looks amazing! What products do you use?
Yes, I agree--you are gorgeous! And you have a lot of hair! I have to take my sister's hair down, and it's only over a month that it's left up. I'd like to know do you take your hair down while dry? Because when I take my sister's hair down from twisting, it's usually tangled.
thank you! i take my hair down with water+shampoo but it’s mostly dry. i spray the ends so it’ll be a bit easier. but i separate my hair in 4 sections to detangle because it does get tangled quite a bit
Yes Ma'am thank you kindly. That's usually what I do is use deep conditioner and coconut oil to try and detangle her hair.
Use conditioner + water or flaxseed gel/ aloe vera gel and oil to take it down. Works wonders!
Thank you so much for the suggestion...will see what I can do with aloe vera oil and flaxseed gel...do you use both, or one or the other?
Is it WORTH IT after ALL that hair loss ?😢
absolutely
You shed 50-100 hairs a day. So what you see in this video is pretty much natural daily hair loss but over the span of 5 months. Since her hair was braided the hair shed but stayed inside the braids.
Do you shampoo it in the braided state?
Can you wash your head if you are doing long term braids
Yes
Do you wash the hair while it's in braids during the 5 months or do you just wash your hair at the end? This is a genuine question as some people wash thei hair in braids/twists.
I can’t keep my hair braided and unwashed for even a week🤭.
Please what do you use for your hair growth
I just took down my 5 month old box braids. The outcome wasn’t as bad as you’re thankfully. 😬😬
How often do you shampoo?
