Omg... Finally someone not lying about their hairgrowth on UA-cam. I just came from another youtuber's video and I can tell straight away that her hair growth she claimed is short of impossible. Your hair looks good girl. I have the same hair type as you, and your 4 year length is right on mark with normal hair growth. My hair is 3 years and 4 months and seems to be on track to getting to your length :)
Hi trizzytrix! Yes, I don't understand why people overstate their growth either. Maybe they just want to draw people in to watch their video because they know that others want to grow hair as fast as possible- and that's unfortunate.I don't even click on videos that claim to grow unnatural amounts of hair in a short period of time.
so happy i found you. there is no real 4C hair vlogger on YT and it's so encouraging for me and for my relatives to have find you... I've got a daughter with real 4C hair and i was stressed cause i was about to give up to keep maintain her natural hair texture, you see i'm 4B 4C hair textre and it was already so complicate to keep it real for me but i thouht no 4C really keep theiir hair just 4A B or 3 hair type, thank you for being there and being so encouraging!
Hi Sandrine Kabamba-Mukanya!! My daughter also has 4C Hair and she likes to roll around on the floor and play in her hair. lol So I have to stay on top of it.
So happy to see 4c hair ! I'm Between SL & Apl but I have fine hair and my shrinkage makes me have a twa. Looking at your hair in shrinkage is inspiring !
Hi Sarah Burrell! My strands are fine as well, which is why I keep them in long term protective styles to avoid breaking my hair off left and right! lol Thank you!
Really enjoyed your video. I love your curls! I hope that more kinky, coily, curly women and girls will find out what their own hair loves and needs and care for it accordingly. I find it very relaxing to care for my transitioning hair...it's almost like bonding with myself, or meditating. Weird. but really...it becomes a treasured time of the day or week. I find it odd-- and disturbing-- when people make comments on natural hair videos "Well you're not 4c" or "She obviously has 'good' hair anyway". Good hair is the hair on your head; learn what it loves and-- barring any medical conditions an other outward circumstances-- your hair will love you back.
i know that's right !! look like a sigh of I"M FINALLY DONE !! lol. but it does look great. i've gone to the salon to get mine press and curled but after a few days, i just wash it because i miss my hair. BEAUTIFUL !!
Hi Tiffany Palmer! lol yep- once I got started I had to just go ahead and push through! I was not keeping track of time, I just put on movie after movie!
Your hair looks great! I've been wanting to get my hair flat ironed for my '1 year natural' big turnout, but I'm deadly afraid of heat damage! So I'm going to my long time trusted stylist! I hope my curls revert back like yours dead! And I'm not left with whispy fried up hair LOL
Thank you for sharing this video. I am happy to see 4c hair type with exceptional growth and health. Could you confirm that you made a total of four flat iron passes on your hair.
my hair is really thick 4c hair, like thick to the point that it hurts to put my hair in one pony tail lol...what tips can you give on what to put in your hair to maintain straightness? I've straightened my whole head about twice in my life and I tried to do a test run for my graduation in a month on a small section...stayed straight for 30mins and went puffy! Much help needed!
+Londons Rock Hi, in regard to the pony tail...lol i gave up ponytails a long time ago. I actually would use a banana clip to hold my hair. If I tried to use a ponytail holder it would be break. I had the same issue with straightened hair and heat. I had my hair straightened professionally and it stayed straight for over a week. But that is the longest I could go. Otherwise it would last for a few hours max and start getting puffy..within a few days it looks like I just had a blow out. I accepted that my hair does not like to be straight.
Its almost impossible to heat damage 4c hair! You gotta use like 500 degree everyday on it in order for it to take 6 months to get heat damaged lol. My hair reverts immediately also.
I really don't know, I know I've used 500 degree heat on my hair with a couple of passes and it poofed right back up within minutes. It never thinned, never burned. It is just very heat resistant and resilient.
Ahdree23 I think it depends on each people's hair and how you proceed maybe. I got a heat damage after going to the hairdresser not so long ago and I had to cut half of my length at the front :( (the only bit that was flat ironed). It was as flat as if it was relaxed it even when I'd washed my hair and it smelled horrible. So yeah I cut that and the remained hair at the front had loser curls; now I cut it gradually as if I was transitionning :) . I have fine hair with high to medium porosity; maybe that's why it's so prone to damage
hi lovely hair...We have same hair texture i mean like exact same ...i need your advice on breakage cos my hair doesnt seem to be growing anymore and i know i have fast growth, i'm also having scalp issues dandruff and itching. Have you had similar experiences?if any pls share and advice
Hi davinna sydney! Breakage: I manipulate my hair as least as possible! I do long term protective styles that I barely have to touch, other than moisturizing (like my bun!). I keep my ends tucked in to avoid my hair splitting and breaking off at the ends. Dandruff & Itching: I do get an itchy scalp every now and again even if I've done a recent wash. SO- what I have found that works for me is Apple Cider Vinegar rinses. There are some videos here on youtube you will be able to find right now!!
You have nice hair, however, I wish you would have been more thorough, and more organized, in putting your video together. The lighting was poor, and it seemed you stayed flat ironing one small section in the front, and you did not part your hair off, so that you didn't have some of the previously flat ironed in a clip.
Jacqueline Howard Thanks! And I know lol, I'm not really a vlogger. And it was not a tutorial. I was just showing my process and what my hair looks like when its flat ironed.
I just saw them on another video of yours and they are beautiful! I want dreads too but I want to keep out a little hair for bangs and I'm not sure if that would look right or not but I feel like it would allow me to be versatile with them...
Alexis BD Well I love your honesty about it all. I've leaning towards locks for about a month now hardcore but I do have thoughts about wanting to switch it up sometimes because I am very unfaithful with hairstyles lol. Dreads do seem to be very versatile though, there are many things you can do with them, you can dye them, curl them make bangs, etc...
jenalovi moh Thank you! I mostly use Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair and Jojoba Oil. I recently purchased As I Am Co-Wash and Leave-In Conditioner and tried it out last night- I like that too.
I did used to finger detangle for regular maintenance. The whole process took an entire day because I would loose strand twists the small sections at the same time to keep it from drawing up again! Lol

Hi Mirramoni! I am cautious of heat as well which is why I used multiple forms of heat protectants! :-)
Beautiful
Beatrice Jules Thank You!!
Now that was inspiring. You're pretty funny too...subbing :)
Hi, Thanks E J Darly!!
Thank you for sharing this video. I am happy to see 4c hair type with exceptional growth and health. Could you confirm that you made a total of four flat iron passes on your hair.
Cami Chi Hi, I did Two or Three. I don't recall four but it's possible. lol

Ahdree23 Really? Do you happen to know why? I don't use heat that often and I'm not sure of the difference in heating with different textures.
I really don't know, I know I've used 500 degree heat on my hair with a couple of passes and it poofed right back up within minutes. It never thinned, never burned. It is just very heat resistant and resilient.

Ahdree23
Funny thing is, when I tried flat ironing my hair alone, it puffed :/
Ahdree23 Oh, Ok.
When you wash and detangle, do you always experience shedding? Or when you style your hair do you shed then also?
Twix12010 It was when I washed and detangled. Not usually when I styled my hair.
I wish you would have been more clear on the video and made it easier to watch with more lighting
what brand of flat iron did you use? love your hair!
Thank you Latoya Adams. It's PRO Red 1/2 Inch Flat Iron.
hi lovely hair...We have same hair texture i mean like exact same ...i need your advice on breakage cos my hair doesnt seem to be growing anymore and i know i have fast growth, i'm also having scalp issues dandruff and itching. Have you had similar experiences?if any pls share and advice

bEAUX CHEVEUX, GORGEOUS HAIR, I love it. J'aime tes cheveux, bisous, kiss
Thank you so much Piya!!
How often do you straighten your hair?
Azziza Joi Robinson I only straightened my hair a few times for special occasions.
You have nice hair, however, I wish you would have been more thorough, and more organized, in putting your video together. The lighting was poor, and it seemed you stayed flat ironing one small section in the front, and you did not part your hair off, so that you didn't have some of the previously flat ironed in a clip.
Jacqueline Howard Thanks! And I know lol, I'm not really a vlogger. And it was not a tutorial. I was just showing my process and what my hair looks like when its flat ironed.
I was thinking the same thing, looks like she was having trouble.
BLAAK WOMEN HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!!
BLAAK AFRKAN HAIR ALKHEMY - WHY DO WE HAVE NAPPY HAIR
Do you normally keep your hair twisted or braided or just out?
Diviniti Oshun I kept my hair either in a large bun at the top or in two strand twists. I loved the twists so much I went on and got locs!
I just saw them on another video of yours and they are beautiful! I want dreads too but I want to keep out a little hair for bangs and I'm not sure if that would look right or not but I feel like it would allow me to be versatile with them...
Diviniti Oshun I love my locs but honestly, i just woke up one day and missed my loose hair! lol I don't what I am going to do.
Alexis BD Well I love your honesty about it all. I've leaning towards locks for about a month now hardcore but I do have thoughts about wanting to switch it up sometimes because I am very unfaithful with hairstyles lol. Dreads do seem to be very versatile though, there are many things you can do with them, you can dye them, curl them make bangs, etc...
I forgot beads and feathers and cute stuff like that and rasta chick style.
The lighting in this video makes it hard to see
Hi Queshauna Whitner! I know my lighting is not great. lol Maybe I'll try a different room if I make another video.
this is not 4c hair
Hi jenalovi moh! Check out the video I have titled "Yes, it's 4C Hair". It shows my 4C texture. :-)
wawou u have beutiful hair
what pruduct do you use and how?
jenalovi moh Thank you! I mostly use Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair and Jojoba Oil. I recently purchased As I Am Co-Wash and Leave-In Conditioner and tried it out last night- I like that too.
What don't you finger detangle?
I did used to finger detangle for regular maintenance. The whole process took an entire day because I would loose strand twists the small sections at the same time to keep it from drawing up again! Lol
