    Vitamin D deficiency can also cause hair breakage, hair loss, and non-scarring alopecia. Vitamin D deficiency is also endemic in African people and diaspora because of avoiding sun exposure while actually needing more sun than people of European heritage or ethnicities with light complexions. In addition vitamin D fights inflammation. Inflammation also reduces hair quality. May this information bless someone who needs it. Feel free to research this yourself.

    I learned to braid using my daughter's Barbie head, my 9 year old granddaughter started doing the same thing last year. Practice, experimenting, and UA-cam university has saved me so much money and helped me to feel more comfortable doing my own protective styles and wearing my natural 4c hair. Your tutorials are awesome.

    I’ve noticed this year when I do my hair and my granddaughters hair the whole box braids or what have you whatever they’re calling them now I’m free braid their natural hair only and then I go and with the extension hair I don’t add too much. It won’t be too heavy on every other day after school I hit it with spray, water and olive oil at the end of where their hair their own hair is in squish it in then I put a cream leave in and squish it, this has helped us retain every inch of hair. I just wanted to throw that out there for anyone. This has been my experience game changer.

    inversion method
    be careful on wash day
    be mindful to be gentle with your hair always and be intentional
    low manipulation / protective styling : twists
    leave your hair alone
    no brushes/ combs. Only finger detangling

  • @anayotothe
    @anayotothe 10 місяців тому +204

    Also! What took me yearsssss to realize with protective styles is the type of hair you use. If the added hair you use is rough, the kanelalon hair can cut through your own hair. So Marley twists or boho braids are cute but depending on the hair, the strands can be rough and tangle up, cut through or dry out your own hair strands

    • @vastya.3255
      @vastya.3255 10 місяців тому +59

      What helps me is hair grease, it creates a barrier between your natural hair and synthetic hair, it gives my hair slip so even after take down , 3 months later my hair feels moisturized and the synthetic hair just feels smoothened. I moisturize and seal every few weeks and maybe wash once or twice during the wear.

    • @fuyukazemi
      @fuyukazemi 10 місяців тому +10

      Yeah this is exactly why when I do a true pro style, I use yarn, like crochet knitting yarn. 100% acrylic is when I use and I find that my breakage is quartered than when I use Marley or any hair from the beauty shop.

      @cindychristian1700 10 місяців тому +6

      ​@bobokissa2502 Wool has been known to dry and break our hair! That's why people put satun bones in those wool French baret hats and silk scarves around the color of wool coats! The constant friction of wool against Afro hair causes breakage! When I do my African threading, I haven't done it yet, I'll use the weave thread to wrap around my hair to look like two strand twists! Quite a few ladies have videos on the Africa threading that that looks like two strand twists! They used wool and acrylic yarn, but I suggested using weave thread to the lady using wool yarn and she said she might give it a try!😊

My problem is staying consistent I could be taking care of my hair gently for 3-5 months then the next month I mess up by neglecting my hair for a while or being rough with them or having a bad experience with a hairstylist because I was too tired to braid my own hair, then it’s like all the previous effort was for nothing 😢 sometimes I literally pray to God to protect my hair when I don’t have the energy to take care of them properly because it’s not always easy

I stopped using a knock off Felicia Leatherwood brush and I've seen a huge difference in my density. Now I just flat twist and leave my hair alone for a week.

    YES, black women need to know that their hair is ALWAYS GROWING! Many do not know how to care correctly for their hair to retain length. I have been on my new hair journey since April 2023, and my hair is the healthiest it has ever been. I have had long hair in the past, but my hair has never been this healthy. My hair has grown from shoulder length to past my waist in 17 months. I think your natural hair is so beautiful. Not sure why you are wearing a weave in this video. But to each his/her own.👍😊

    Thank you, Beautiful Seun! 😊 I have always been able to keep my hair a decent length. A year and a half ago, I got diagnosed with a serious illness and started some rough meds. On top of that, I was getting married. 😖My hair went from waist length to collar bone. I got a keratin treatment in order to keep me from having to manipulate it as much. That, combined with biweekly alternating protein and DC treatments has gotten me back past bra strap! I also started WORKING OUT, lost 50 lbs, and discovered Viviscal, which has made my hair thicker than ever! I grew my hair this time and only wore a protective style twice! I only use the silicone shampoo scalp scrubber as a “brush” if not my fingers. I wear my hair in a clip or satin scrunchie when chilling at home. This is getting long lol, so I’ll just say that I can personally attest to every single one of your tips. Thank you for the love you show to our community! ❤

      @ hey 😊 #1 I treated my mental health, including finding a doctor who took binge eating seriously #2 I took my time discovering several healthy foods that I actually LOVE, not just tolerate. I mean, individual ingredients. For example, I LOVE oatmeal and broccoli and salmon and rotisserie chicken and all fruits. I then started eating a diet of those same foods at least 5days a week; paying attention to when I was satisfied NOT full (I notice I take a small sigh and start getting distracted from my meal when I’m satisfied). I wasn’t strict on weekends except watching my portion sizes. #3 I exercise at least 30 minutes, 5days a week. I stuck to the same exercises that I didn’t hate doing (after taking 3 weeks to get used to doing it). I really like the stair climber and jogging to my favorite songs. 20 minutes of that and 10 minutes lifting weights in ‘problem areas’. I was losing a pound or 2 per week in no time! You have to do it for like a month before your body realizes that the changes are permanent and starts changing to reflect that. Consistency is key. Really watch those portions on the weekends when eating ‘fun food’ 🥰 weight is still gone today!

    Basically top tip from this video for me is learn how to do my own hair!
    This is such a good idea because the person who does my braids usually blows out my hair & it can hurt & when she braids sometimes towards the front. (I should tell her tbh so my bad). And I could find another person who doesnt blow dry before but my mum wouldnt agree.

    Protective style still need moisture. Use leave in conditioner after washing.

    @theratchetchristian 10 місяців тому +3

    Protective styles have been helpful in growing my hair. A few months ago I sewed down a u part wig and wore it as a protective style and it looked great but I experienced breakage in my nape area from the friction of the back of the wig. I was so discouraged but every time I experience a setback I count it as something new I learned about my hair and I keep moving forward on my hair growth journey lol now I know not to do that and if I do making sure my nape is always moisturized

    Thanks a lot for ur videos, my hair has been growing a lot since i've discovered your channel 3 years ago!! I learnt and started to do my own hair since I found u.❤❤❤ , im in college and my daily routine is super busy. I've been shifting from box braids to recently a wig. I'm kinda tired of braids and I wanted to add another hairstyle to my hair care routine, but I dont know what to do.... I was thinking of doing crochet hair, but I dont know how much time should I stay with them.
    I dont mind a hairstyle that takes time to do it, but the amount of time I'll stay with them it matters to me,... could you please give me a suggestion, what should I do??

    One thing i pray for God to give me is patience when finger detangling while putting in my protective styles and taking them out. When i was putting in the current protective style i have, half way through i got tired of finger detangling bcoz it was taking quite long (my arms were aching, i was also doing tiny mini twists), so i used a comb on the other side of my head. I can tell u know that my hair on my right is considerably shorter than that on my left. I have seen it for myself, ive felt bad, and i will try better next time😊

    • @faithmbasani462
      @faithmbasani462 10 місяців тому +8

      How about watching movies or UA-cam while detangling? I’ve found that makes the time spent unnoticeable for me.

    • @vimbai8519
      @vimbai8519 10 місяців тому +5

      The thing with me is that my mom cannot allow me to spend an entire day on my hair, she says i need to study. So i would always do my hair in the evening. It took me 3 days to put in the mini twists i have

    • @tsuyuasui7297
      @tsuyuasui7297 10 місяців тому +1

      ​@@vimbai8519 ahh now I get your problem, you don't have a specific set day you can spend on doing your hair which pushes you to just rip through your hair as you are working on a time limit? ive had the same issue until i just solved it by just choosing a dedicated day and time specifically for my selfcare which includes my hair, it's also important for self love to have a day were you can just pamper yourself. Also like someone else said try to listen to podcasts or UA-cam and Netflix to pass time faster. I think you need to have a one on one conversation with your mom that not everyday is meant for studying and that taking care of your hair is also very important.

    Heyy great video, was wondering what's your take on trimming? Do you trim your hair, if so how often? Would you recommend visiting a professional for it or do you think trimming at home is okay? should one trim in the natural state, dusting or after blowdrying?
    These are a lot of questions, I know sorry😅

    On average hair grows 1/2 inch per month. However, there is MUCH you can do to promote faster hair growth. My hair is growing an inch a month easy and it is because of how I am caring for my hair which has it double the normal rate of growth.
