Indigenous Standz I’m not even kidding. I have about 60 twists in my head right now. Waiting for your next video so I can see what my next move should be, please hurry. 🙂
Sis, yesss... 3 *affordable* (& natural) products. I personally keep my regimen down to water, shea butter & oils, but I'm open to new things, lol. (4abc, grazing tailbone).
@@Sarah-vl4mq I just had to be sure. Lol. I'm embarrassed I didn't trust myself...being a fellow igbo. But I've run into some other non Naija people whose names sound Nigerian. Hehe
Aloe juice is the GOAT! It changed my entire hair game for detangling and moisturize. I love the simplicity of your regimen. It proves that most of us are doing a lot more than we need to. Thanks so much for sharing!
I've never been big on aloe, but maybe I'm missing out. So, what do you guys actually do for the spray bottle? Is it aloe & water? Or are you purchasing it (aloe juice) from somewhere? Edit: Nvmd. I read in comments you purchase it (Fruit of the Earth @ Walmart for anyone wondering)
@@TheLordsPrecious may I ask what oils do you use? In regards to butters is it just shea butter or a mix of others? Thank you in advance. Btw T&T in the house😊
@Trinican you GO girl! mine is a a little bit near the top of my bra but I want to at least reach the bottom of the bra strap. It used to be that length when i was a kid and then I started using perms in high school smh.
Really nice to see black women with long hair. It shows that God is not bias. He blesses all...we just need to use the simple things He has provided in nature.
Your hair is absolutely beautiful. You remind me of another UA-camr, 22nd century natural woman who also has 34/35 plus inches of natural, similarly textured hair❣️
Michelle It’s so amazing to see Afro-textured hair in all its glory like this! Videos like this make so so excited lol. There might be a few others with even longer hair! (Efficientlynatural) another youtuber did a length check video over a year ago and at the time she was pushing 30 inches so I’m sure it’s a lot longer now. Her videos are sooooo informative. Then there’s (herlucidsky) who shares her pictures from transitioning days to now on the Fotki blog. Last December she did a length check and measured around 36 inches so she’s probably one of the longest I’ve ever seen. She’s very modest when measuring so I’m sure she’s at least 40 inches by now if she hasn’t cut/trimmed her hair. The Quann twins. TK Wonder & Cipriana Quann(Urban bush babes on UA-cam)I think they’re 4b/c. Longest and thickest 4b/c hair I’ve ever seen. I love seeing women with kinky curly Afro-textured hair grow their hair like this. Many of us can too but we we either lack the knowledge, lack the patience or both. Lol.
our hair was designed to thrive with 'natural' products (water, flaxseed, aloe, shea butter, oils, ACV, rice, etc.) and little manipulation...that's why man-made chemicals, daily "cute" hairstyles, and constant excessive heat ruin our hair....keep it simple and hair will break less and grow longer.
I am sooo happy to see this video! I only use fermented rice water and rhassoul clay to cleanse my hair, aloe vera gel from the leaf as my leave in and seal with mango butter. I do hot oil treatments twice a month and my hair is thriving! Thank you so much for being a light for our beautiful little girls and black women. They need to know that it is not necessary to try to conform to the pervasive European standard of beauty. Our beauty is magnificent and TRULY unique. I'm so proud of you for being that beacon of light. Please don't stop making videos because of the comments of a few ignorant people. There's a little girl out there who needs to see you and learn from you how beautiful she really is... don't let her down. I plan to join you soon.
WOW!!!! your comment really touched me because that is exactly what i did the first time that lead me to just give up on here, after all these years i been growing my hair "alone" just wanting to tell you all that look it is possible, i just have this deep passion to want to help women especially women of color know and believe that we are beautiful and out hair was hand crafted!!! thank you for watching!! i look forward to more of your comments
Europeans aren't the only ones with straight long hair. People seem to forget Asians, people from India, native americans, natives from other lands who have straight hair. Stop giving "europeans" that power. That's something we should teach our young black and colored girls.
And since she doesn't use other products it will be hard for companies to bribe her to get people to get products they don't need, or isn't helpful. Really everything she uses can be made at home. Even Apple cider vinegar, though it takes some practice.
Hello there, Hope you don’t mind my questions🙂 How long have you been using each of the products mentioned? How long have you been growing your hair out? Did you ever have a relaxer? If so when was your last relaxer? How long does it normally take to detangle your hair? Do you plan on letting it grow longer? How tall are you? How much twist are there in total? Have you ever had any set backs during your natural hair journey? How often do you shampoo? How often do you trim? Do you still occasionally deal with split ends?
Girl u just gave me my complete next video!! ill answer some now then ill post a Q&A video this week. 1. I have been using each product for around 7 years. 2 i have been growing out my hair HEALTHY for 8 years in January 3 no relaxer no color ever 4 it takes too damn long lol i detangle my hair in these twist, never out. so i go one by one, detangle that twist then twist it back. it takes me about 8 hours if i did it straight through. 5. YESSS i want to show black women that we CAN grow our hair long. 6. im 5'4 7. not sure sometimes i combined small ones to make them bigger, but i would say maybe 80 8.yes i have had setbacks, whenever i thought my hair was not growing i would cute at least 4 inches off... then regret it 9. i do not use shampoo or conditioner AT ALL( ill do a video) no my hair does not stink and yes its clean 10. i never trim and my ends are fine( ill add this in my video to explain why 11. of course i do ill see one here and there but its never caused me to have a lot of breakage or interfered with my growth.
Indigenous Standz Lol. Thank you sooooo much for taking the time out to answer some of my questions. Yes these are great questions to put in your Q&A video since others may have the same questions and not everyone reads through the comments. I forgot to ask also, how often do you moisturize your ends and or refresh/reapply gel to your ends? How long was your hair when you started this healthy hair growth journey? You can add these questions to your next video too! Thanks again!! 🙂
OMG...now I remember you! I kept looking at you like 'do I know her?' You were one of the first naturals I remember with thick kinky long hair. You look different but the same, like you ready for your freshman year of college. But, I remember your graduation video and you wore your hair out. It's really good to see you back. I know life happens, but I hope you continue to make more videos. I was so close to cutting my hair but remembering how kinky and thick your hair was and seeing how it's thriving is giving me inspiration. Whatever happens, I'm glad to see you're doing good.
Welcome back! I went to check out your old videos to try and remember you, however, your old videos are not available. Can you share a little history to help remind me of your journey? Look forward to learning more about your hair care routine.
@@IndigenousStrandz11 , i just subbed you. Thigh length is impressive. I thought i was doing sometg when i got to tailbone. Im now back at mid back bcus i have severe heat damage. Flat ironed my hair 1st time in 5yrs and didnt do any protien rebuilding b4. I didn't realize that meds and stress had weakend my stands. Long story but i will be looking forward to hearing about your journey and regimen.
Beautiful hair and beautiful spirit! You are like a black unicorn defying all stereotypes and myths about black hair (22nd century natural woman here on YT included) and I love it! I can tell from the comments that just about all of us brown girls desire long natural hair but have for so long been denied bc we lack to understanding of HOW and WHAT to use/do (or not do lol) in order to help it to thrive to its fullest potential. Many of our women wear weaves/braids that look exactly like your hair. Shoot ur hair looks like Senegalese twist 😊 Long natural hair in our community should be the RULE not the exception and we shouldn't think one has to "mixed" to obtain long beautiful hair. Didn't know of your YT channel before but I'm glad you're back!! I'm loc'd and use the same products on me & my children's locs & loose natural hair! One time for the flaxseed gel, Aloe Vera juice & castor oil and that one loc hanging out in the back ✊💕😎
So happy to have you in my feed again. I recently decided to revisit two strand twist as a way to retain length. So this was right on time for me. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to future videos.
I love this! This is a great alternative to dreadlocks. Our hair thrives with less manipulation. The key to long hair is rentention. I would love a more in-depth video on the products you use. ❤️
Im going on 3 yrs natural and i noticed i had a few set backs..but i changed my whole routine thanks to you. Im so glad i found your channel!! I hope to see my hair get healthy on my journey!
Girl first off your hair is beautiful. Second you know all those products distributors are hating on you because you are using only 3 very affordable products. Love your simple routine. What do you use to shampoo and condition? New Subbie by the way
Good question, I know she said if she needs to clean the scalp she adds acv to her spray bottle and a hot wash cloth. So I wonder if she even uses it anymore
Honestly I've been seeing that I lose less hair when I don't use the conditioner. I am just trying to figure out other ways to get moisture in there. I haven't tried castor oil though, so I will give it a try. I am a big shea butter lover but sometimes you need something lighter weight.
Thank you for breaking down the reasons why you use each product! I have been natural since 2012, and had another big chop 3 years ago. I use sooo many products to moisturize my tightly coily low porosity hair for moisture, yet I have never retained length past my shoulders. I am going to try your method, but I am nervous because my hair gets so dry. But you, Sis, have taught us the lies of the product makers! Heck, our ancient sisters didn't use all of this junk on their hair, and they had long hair! I'm going in, Sis, and I'm praying that I can at least train my hair to only need these 3 natural tools! Love you!
I’m 5’11, so thigh length for me is a bit much, however, waist length is my goal. I’ve been natural going on 5 years now, and I’m doing my 2nd big chop tomorrow. Going to shave it all off and completely start fresh. My hair grows like crazy, but it’s been breaking off excessively. This time, I’ll stick to twists like you, so I can retain all of my length☺️ New subbie!
soyuwai M yes, sis! I’ve been natural for 4 years, grew my hair to waist on the 3rd year and chopped it off 1 year ago! Now it’s back to my armpits. 😭 it’s much better this time around. I was bald headed too, but I’m grateful. It was a great experience. Hope your hair journey is going well !
Okay BeautyGuru... Were gonna need you to drop the routine sis 😅😭🙏🙌😩😂 My hair only grows like a 1/4 an inch or less a month from what I can tell from my recently dyed hair from seeing my dark roots 😕. I try to eat as healthy as possible & recently started making smoothies with veggies & fruits & a dash of MSM & Bamboo powder (bamboo for its silica content) or if I ran out of smoothie supplies will makeba matcha latte with almond milk with msm & bamboo powder. My eyebrows, eyelashes & skin has benefited from this but my hair seems to grow about the same pace & the only change I'm really is a couple of new baby hairs randomly sprouting on my front hair line (and this change of the baby hairs has only started has I started using sublimed sulfer & minazoale nitrate 😢) which I ain't mad about but want length on the hairs I have on my head already... Lol.
Ohhhh I forgot to mention I also take a daily multivitamin (to cover my bases & hair growth), biotin & iron (I believe I'm anemic & my multi does not contain iron).
New subscriber. Glad I ran across your video. I am at my wits end with trying to do my hair. Been natural 8 years and have had 8 years of setbacks. Contemplating locking my hair. My scalp attracts too much dirt to not wash but after seeing your video 2 strands twist will be my go to hair style. Looking forward to your videos.
Yes! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Someone who does not trim and still grow long hair. My hair is pretty long, not as long as yours, but I don't cut or trim my hair for personal beliefs. I also can't wait to hear about your wash routine and minimum products. I need a super simple routine. I'm ready for the Q&A video. Your hair is GORGEOUS!!!
@@TheGummybears101 Hi, no I don't trim at all. Since 2002, my hair have been trimmed once back in 2010. Then in August of 2010, I decided to return natural. I've never trimmed my hair since then. My hair has grown the longest and thickest it's ever been. I had a major set back a few years ago but I found out it was due to health issues. I'm pretty sure, when straightened, my hair should be back to the length in my thumbnail pic, if not longer! For your split ends i would suggest doing protein treatments, Henna or Cassia treatments, low manipulation, most importantly keep your hair especially your ends moisturized! Sorry for the long response. Hope i helped some.
naturallysweetkandi thanks for the response!. I recently had a set back too where I had a ton of shedding I believe it’s a health issue too, maybe because my iron levels are a bit below average however I am not anemic. Thank you for the tips!!
@@TheGummybears101 My iron and my Vitamin D was really low. Plus magnesium and Calcium etc. But since I've been taking my liquid iron I've seen a huge difference.
Wow. Welcome back. It's been... almost a decade! It's crazy how much shrinkage natural hair gets. Someone's hair can be nearly twice as long and people would never know due to the shrinkage. You hair is beautiful as always!
My hair is currently hip length. I'm natural as well. Yes we can grow very long hair! Thank you for making this video! I just subscribed to your channel!
Wow your hair sounds beautiful!!! I love that there's more of us growing our crowns out!! Although Every length of natural hair is beautiful! Thanks for joining the Tribe!!!
@@doThatGWalk I honestly create my own conditioners. It may sound a little gross but I really like the mayonnaise and avocado conditioner. It is really old school but it works. In the past I have used mane and tail conditioner. I also believe in heavy oiling for my hair using coconut oil , avocado oil, olive oil, and almond oil. The simpler the better
Hey! I remember when you braided and twist your hair in buns all the time. And you wanted to have dreds like your dad. Glad to see you're back. You've grown, but i could nvr forget the voice. This sistren drops good knowledge!
My ends knot up on themselves when I do braids and twists too. I find laying them flat with pure shea butter prevents that. Flax seed gel does that too. I never thought about using it with twists/braids.
I just subscribed because you are worth following !!!! Thigh length??? My God! I’m here with bra strap length.... thank you for setting an example my God🙌🙌🙌
I just want to say that your video is so encouraging!! I will be 2 years natural in January with about 3 years of natural hair growth and people have told me how much my hair has been growing and I legit have the same regime (relatively, 2-3 products when styling). You just gave me some reassurance that I may be on the right track :)
New subscriber!! I feel like you are the answer to my prayers! I'm so tired of all these steps and using 10 hours at a time to do my hair🤷♀️. Im certainly going to give this a try! Thank you and God bless you for sharing. 🤔 no shampooing or deep conditioning... I'm willing to try it. 👏 Can't wait to see more videos from you!
Yayy! Thanks for joining the Tribe! The key is weaning your hair off slowly from what u currently use if you do it cold turkey your hair is going to revolt lol Ill make a video on all of this soon, nope i dont spray my hair nightly but I do moisturize it every week with castor oil.
@@IndigenousStrandz11 oohhh... okay, do a quick video of how you maintain it weekly (you put oil on weekly without retwisting, right?). I know that may sound simple to you too record, but every little bit helps and seeing is believing. You are giving me hope, hope not to return back to the creamy crack. 🙅♀️
@@IndigenousStrandz11 Your twists are beautiful. I am curious about not using conditioner. I am loc'd and saw a loc'd youtuber speak about not putting anything in her locs. I currently moisturize my scalp with aloe vera gel from the plant and peppermint oil. I also apply castor oil to my locs for moisture. So I guess I need help with no conditioner and no shampoo. I have eczema in my scalp so that's a hard one for me. Any suggestions? Subscribing.
Indigenous Standz your hair also reminds me of Cipriana Quinn who has grown super long hair with loose twists and only uses oil to moisturize her hair.
I have to say, I’ve seen a LOT of natural hair bloggers but you are seriously the most AWESOME! I really mean that. I used to think wow bloggers don’t have hair breakage, maybe it’s just me. When I had excessive hair breakage I went to my dermatologist and found a new hair stylist. Both said the breakage was from overly dry hair and especially not getting my ends trimmed. After seeing both my breakage is at a minimum but I still have a little because the weather in my area is super cold and running heaters doesn’t help. I absolutely LOVE your simplicity. The crazy part is I have 2 of the 3 products you use. I’ll have to try making my own gel, but until then I’ll use some that I already bought. It’s not flaxseed but it is a gel and NOT Eco Styler, which I hate. I’ll be looking at all your hair videos, it will take me a while but it will sure be worth it. Your are super awesome and thank you.💜
I love your hair it's beautiful. You have real dedication. I personally couldn't wear twist 99% of the time. It's like having Gray eyes but having 2 keep them closed lol. Nooo id wanna show it. I love black hair i hate we have 2 cover it at all.
Thats the part that sucks! Once we start using multiple products, blow drying, straightening, stretching(pretty much anything that shows the true length) we have to deal with breakage and dryness :(
Its not covered up, and when it is, It's for protection. If we want to maintain our length, proper protective styling is the best way to do it. Smart beautiful woman. Plus I LOVE some cute twists. I wear them most of the time too❤twist=length retention.
This is primarily how I take care of my daughters hair. Her hair is mid back length. and shoulder length when twisted. She has some serious shrinkage.😀 she's 3 . I would like to grow my hair long .. but I don't have the patience for myself....but this is quite a motivator. Great simple, natural hair routine... I love it!
wow, i love your hair and your 3 product routine. people like you not commercialized and trying to convence people to buy products is what the natural hair movement needs
I recently started doing a similar routine. I’m weening myself off of store bought products.I may have to simplify it even a little bit more. It’s like retraining my brain to a less is more routine and not more is more. So far it has been helping, using oils, aloe, vera, Shea butter, diluted apple cider vinegar and water. Along with exercise, scalp massages and diet. Seems like the hair growth sped up a little bit after getting rid of all the products and chemicals. 🙌🏾
Wow, lovely. My hair shrinks up almost instantly like a measuring tape. I said my hair must be thigh length for it to stay at my shoulders because my hair wants to stay up. Twists are a great idea.
I'm really glad this video was suggested to me because I'm tired of doing twistouts that don't even last long and barely being able to see the real length of my hair. I would like to ask if you have any tips for someone who would like to start doing what you're doing? When you first started, did you do your twists on freshly washed hair or was it stretched first? I can't wait to see more videos from you about how you take care of your hair! I have type 4 hair that just wants to be left alone so I think this will be the best style for me.
Honestly one day i just got tired of buying shit lol i use to use joyco conditioner and its not cheap! so i twisted my hair and learned from there, I will do a more in depth video! Thanks for watching and i appreciate the kind words.
OMG!!! You’re back, and can you believe just yesterday I thought how is she doing is she still on UA-cam...then today I saw your video on my newsfeed, my notifications were clearly late as this was posted 2 weeks ago, but all the same, you’re back. I thought you left UA-cam for good. you were my hair inspiration from way back, I used to put my hair in braids like you for protective styling. I’m so happy to see, and be reminded that less is more when it comes to products. I truly forgot that rule and have been an avid product junkie which I’m not proud of. I’m finally gonna be able to grow my hair back with your tutorials. I’ve been subscribed all these years, so glad to see your hair growth. Welcome back.
Nataleigh oh that's such as my heart I really honestly thought that I was forgotten , I want to hear you guys tell me that you thought of me that really makes me feel like I'm doing something right cuz I was going to give up but something whispered in my ear one day to come back on here and that's what I did and I'm just getting an overwhelming welcome and love and support from all of you and that honestly makes my days😍😍🌻🌻
I'm about to take off this wig and twist my hair right now I'm sooooo serious length without having to lock your hair I'm loving that ...binge watching ...New subscriber so glad I found you
Amazing you have the longest natural hair ive never seen in my entire life im reaaaallllyyyyy amazed about that. But i world like to know a little bit more about your hair journey please....i supose you delete your oldest videos.. thanks !!
There was soooo much negative energy on here and i left for a while! I will do a video soon! Thank you I hear that alot but my goal is to help black women achieve this type of hair growth!
I love how you just keep it simple I used to tell people all the time you don't need all this and all that in your hair keep it simple and your hair will respond. And I'm a two strand twist girl myself.
I remember your videos. Good to see update. Thigh length?! Giiirl, #goals. I'm still hanging around tailbone. I'm also rocking medium twists which I've been washing & redoing for the last 4wks. I am so ready to take these out, but this video is changing my mind, lol. I'm glad you keep your hair care & products simple.
Yoooo you were one of the OG natural hair vloggers when I first started looking up hair tips on UA-cam. Glad you're back! Teach these girls that simple is always better!
Oh my at first glance I thought those were braids with extensions. First natural thigh length I have seen.. Such beautiful hair!!! Definitely motivated to keep on. Thanks for sharing
Ok, 1) I need the exact castor oil, aloe vera juice and Flaxseed used. 2) Has your hair always been this long? 3) I saw this video instantly subscribed, liked and signed up for notifications. Which, by the way, I never do. I mean Never. Your hair is life goals 😍😍😍
I just started twisting, less than a month ago. I just found your site. Great helpful info. I’m in the transition stage from heat and chemicals. Please keep teaching.
Angel Sweet yeah!there are tons of high porosity hair with lots of hair not just normal or low it’s actually normal using the right products for high porosity hair also some people think high porosity hair is from damage it’s just genetics and born with high porosity hair also
nobuhle kunene use light products do u don’t get build up like jojoba oil and very very light non thick products and rinse with warm water to open the cuticles for no build up hope this helps :)
@@IndigenousStrandz11 I knew it!!!!! I searched the comments I knew you had high porosity hair it's just like mine, I recently learned to use Camille Rose or Uncle Funky Daughter gel to kept me hair from recoiling on itself. My hair is naturally highly porous and easily dangle. I'm surprised you don't need a heavy butter to seal. Oh my hair love aloe vera juice too.
Absolutely beautiful! I am growimg my hair to my first goal through two strand twists to BSL length...I am at 13 inches...so excited after my third shave. You are hair goals. Thank you for the tips!
This video is right on time!!! Welcome back, congrats on becoming a mother, and your hair is lovely! I look forward to more videos. I was talking with a friend about going back to about 15 years ago when my hair was happiest and longest. I kept my hair in twist, rarely washed it (my scalp and hair were never dirty), and I didn't use much product other than Shea butter and castor oil. Your video brought so much back that I couldn't remember.
we have to remember that our hair looves being loc'd I basically treated my hair as if it was loc'd. You were on the right path! Ill do a more in depth video on this method i used. thanks for watching!!
Thigh length is my hair goal! Def saved this video. I was once waist length, but really wanted a shaved head lol , so I did that for 1 year and accidentally started growing my hair back out and I've been (commercial) product free since I was bald and my hair is sooooooo healthy! I'm really loving this journey.
I'm out here trying, dying, and crying in attempt to grow my hair. Please post more videos and how to grow and retain length. I've never seen hair this long, I know I can do it.
discoveryourpower • Hey hun are you positive you're allergic? The yellow substance secreting from the aloe plant when cut is irritating to some people. If you wash the aloe of this, you may actually find that you can use it without irritation.
Add vegetable glycerin to water and spray with that. Aloe and glycerin are both natural humectants. Make sure you don't have a coconut allergy as many vegetable glycerin are derived from coconut. Just water works too. If you have thick strands that take a while to get wet, use warm water.
Wow! I just shaved off my hair after a year of growing it out and I’m regretting it after seeing this. I discovered aloe and castor oil combo and it made my hair so soft. I just didn’t want to deal with hair anymore. I plan to regrow it. I will definitely be keeping it simple this time around and trying out keeping it twisted and flax seed gel. Looking forward to more videos!
I’m going to use that flaxseed gel tip. I definitely haven’t heard of it, and my ends have problems with unraveling and tangling. I don’t know if I can do thigh length hair 😫😫😫 I’ll just be stopping at my behind 😂👌🏾
Wow !! Your hair is completely amazing! This is literally the longest natural hair I have ever seen in my entire life. I need you to please do more videos, please do a wash day and how you style please, please, please. Please also show your products. WE need you, the Natural Community needs you
By far the simplest routine EVER and I'm here for it! Can you share where you purchased your products? And do you an occasion trimming of your ends? Thanks for sharing your routine your hair is beautiful!
So we have the same length hair on our heads right now!!! Yay!! Only.....mine is from the store😅😂😂 Maybe on day mine can be real too bcz these hair shops are getting real expensive!
aww im so happy to see youre back and doing well! congratulations on motherhood and I hope you do a life update video. I see so many changes within you that you don't even have to point out. I expected that whenever you came back that you would be chilling with perfectly formed locs down to your knee caps. I think thats where I left off with your videos when you were considering just locking your hair. I think we started our channels at the same times and fell off the face of youtube at the same time and now we are back at the same time lol. You probably don't remember me but again i am so happy you are doing well and happy and thriving!
Hello BEAUTY! Yes I actually do! I went on ur channel and I had to sub!! You have the best personality and you are the cutest! My daughter is half Asian soo u already know im down with your vids! Yes girl i thought i would b chillin with my locs ! I got cold feet so my twist are gonna have to do for now lol Thanks for watching! Ill be watching you too!
You are the truth girl. Im about to delete all my other bullshit natural hair youtubers.. your hair is my goals. Thank you Queen for showing us the way.
No competition. She, like 22nd Century woman is sharing a wealth of knowledge and not bragging or trying to compete. 22nd Century woman said herself she want to see many more women with long hair.
WOW!I learnt last year to do low manipulation styles and threat my hair like dreads..i.e leave it alone..So i have been doing twists for 9 months straight..i wash every week in twists and moisturise and retwist...but i have learnt alot from your specially about the ends and flaxseeds.thank you!
You've been gone so long! Glad to see you here again. Can't wait for other videos! Please, please dont make us wait to long!😄 Beautiful and wonderful hair.
Remember back in the early days of youtube when armpit or bra strap length natural hair was blowing our minds. We came such a long way (literally).
KD lol hehe 😂😂😂
KD tell it sis!!!
Right!!!
Ikr!
👏👏👏
Girl, when you stood up and stretched that twist, I ran and got by aloe Vera juice spray bottle, castor oil and flaxseed gel! Twisting now...🙂
Me too 🏃🏃🏃
Lol.
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are to much!!! shrinkage is very real lol

Aloe juice is the GOAT! It changed my entire hair game for detangling and moisturize. I love the simplicity of your regimen. It proves that most of us are doing a lot more than we need to. Thanks so much for sharing!
Les is more!!! WE dont need all that lol thank you for wtching!!!
I've never been big on aloe, but maybe I'm missing out. So, what do you guys actually do for the spray bottle? Is it aloe & water? Or are you purchasing it (aloe juice) from somewhere?
Edit: Nvmd. I read in comments you purchase it (Fruit of the Earth @ Walmart for anyone wondering)
And I agree, less is more. I keep my products down to water, oils & butters (hair past waist).
@@TheLordsPrecious may I ask what oils do you use? In regards to butters is it just shea butter or a mix of others? Thank you in advance. Btw T&T in the house😊
@Trinican you GO girl! mine is a a little bit near the top of my bra but I want to at least reach the bottom of the bra strap. It used to be that length when i was a kid and then I started using perms in high school smh.
Really nice to see black women with long hair. It shows that God is not bias. He blesses all...we just need to use the simple things He has provided in nature.
Best and truest
Your hair is absolutely beautiful. You remind me of another UA-camr, 22nd century natural woman who also has 34/35 plus inches of natural, similarly textured hair❣️
yes!!! i loooove her sooooo much! thank you!!
The other You Tuber that you mentioned has longer hair.
Michelle It’s so amazing to see Afro-textured hair in all its glory like this! Videos like this make so so excited lol. There might be a few others with even longer hair!
(Efficientlynatural) another youtuber did a length check video over a year ago and at the time she was pushing 30 inches so I’m sure it’s a lot longer now. Her videos are sooooo informative.
Then there’s (herlucidsky) who shares her pictures from transitioning days to now on the Fotki blog. Last December she did a length check and measured around 36 inches so she’s probably one of the longest I’ve ever seen. She’s very modest when measuring so I’m sure she’s at least 40 inches by now if she hasn’t cut/trimmed her hair.
The Quann twins. TK Wonder & Cipriana Quann(Urban bush babes on UA-cam)I think they’re 4b/c. Longest and thickest 4b/c hair I’ve ever seen.
I love seeing women with kinky curly Afro-textured hair grow their hair like this. Many of us can too but we we either lack the knowledge, lack the patience or both. Lol.
@@Michelle-pn9xt who cares?
gabriella van neel Rite who really cares bout all that extra
Um excuse me you need to make more videos ASAP lol we're dying out here perishing for lack of knowledge
HAAHAHA ur too much lol i justr made one today ill be posting this week after i edit

Mich LaBelle 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You win the comments section. No contest
Mich LaBelle Everytime I read this, I crack up inside🤣
our hair was designed to thrive with 'natural' products (water, flaxseed, aloe, shea butter, oils, ACV, rice, etc.) and little manipulation...that's why man-made chemicals, daily "cute" hairstyles, and constant excessive heat ruin our hair....keep it simple and hair will break less and grow longer.
I am sooo happy to see this video! I only use fermented rice water and rhassoul clay to cleanse my hair, aloe vera gel from the leaf as my leave in and seal with mango butter. I do hot oil treatments twice a month and my hair is thriving! Thank you so much for being a light for our beautiful little girls and black women. They need to know that it is not necessary to try to conform to the pervasive European standard of beauty. Our beauty is magnificent and TRULY unique. I'm so proud of you for being that beacon of light. Please don't stop making videos because of the comments of a few ignorant people. There's a little girl out there who needs to see you and learn from you how beautiful she really is... don't let her down. I plan to join you soon.
WOW!!!! your comment really touched me because that is exactly what i did the first time that lead me to just give up on here, after all these years i been growing my hair "alone" just wanting to tell you all that look it is possible, i just have this deep passion to want to help women especially women of color know and believe that we are beautiful and out hair was hand crafted!!! thank you for watching!! i look forward to more of your comments
Europeans aren't the only ones with straight long hair. People seem to forget Asians, people from India, native americans, natives from other lands who have straight hair. Stop giving "europeans" that power. That's something we should teach our young black and colored girls.
@@IndigenousStrandz11 how long did it take to grow that long?
Most of the people with straight hair use a flat iron lol and they use the same chemicals in their hair to get it straight. I agree.
Kerrie Child of God I think she’s been natural her whole life
You're the definition of "God gave us what we need for our hair from the earth!" Girl what am I mixing and buying all these products for? 😳😳😳
The enrichment of the Products Industry and Hair Nazis. 😏
Girlll! Hellll noo. U got patience. Thats why im a bald headed heaux
Hollering!!!😂😂😂
She said what?! 😂
I have 0 desire for hair this long. More power to her tho'.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
Every time I think I need store bought products I see videos like these. 💕
I'm about to unfollow everybody else 😂 and click your notifications. blessit
Girl yes that's the same thing I said. Bout to erase the others cause she is the truth.
Right? 😂😂
MeMe Simone Girl, ME TOO! Her process is so simple! Why couldn’t I found her 30+ products and $500 ago!!! 🤦🏾♀️
This comment tho... 😂😂😂❤️
And since she doesn't use other products it will be hard for companies to bribe her to get people to get products they don't need, or isn't helpful. Really everything she uses can be made at home. Even Apple cider vinegar, though it takes some practice.
New goals! You've totally inspired me to make this a new 2019 Challenge for myself! Who's with me???

@@stitchesntherapywithtee I'm starting today too!
Im with you girl
Hello there,
Hope you don’t mind my questions🙂
How long have you been using each of the products mentioned?
How long have you been growing your hair out?
Did you ever have a relaxer? If so when was your last relaxer?
How long does it normally take to detangle your hair?
Do you plan on letting it grow longer?
How tall are you?
How much twist are there in total?
Have you ever had any set backs during your natural hair journey?
How often do you shampoo?
How often do you trim?
Do you still occasionally deal with split ends?
Girl u just gave me my complete next video!! ill answer some now then ill post a Q&A video this week.
1. I have been using each product for around 7 years.
2 i have been growing out my hair HEALTHY for 8 years in January
3 no relaxer no color ever
4 it takes too damn long lol i detangle my hair in these twist, never out. so i go one by one, detangle that twist then twist it back. it takes me about 8 hours if i did it straight through.
5. YESSS i want to show black women that we CAN grow our hair long.
6. im 5'4
7. not sure sometimes i combined small ones to make them bigger, but i would say maybe 80
8.yes i have had setbacks, whenever i thought my hair was not growing i would cute at least 4 inches off... then regret it
9. i do not use shampoo or conditioner AT ALL( ill do a video) no my hair does not stink and yes its clean
10. i never trim and my ends are fine( ill add this in my video to explain why
11. of course i do ill see one here and there but its never caused me to have a lot of breakage or interfered with my growth.
Indigenous Standz Lol. Thank you sooooo much for taking the time out to answer some of my questions. Yes these are great questions to put in your Q&A video since others may have the same questions and not everyone reads through the comments.
I forgot to ask also, how often do you moisturize your ends and or refresh/reapply gel to your ends?
How long was your hair when you started this healthy hair growth journey? You can add these questions to your next video too! Thanks again!! 🙂
Yes i agree and no problem
Thank you both for asking & answering such wonderful questions!
Too much turkey turkey get to the point I usually turn off UA-cam speakers because it's too much talky talky get to the point and get
OMG...now I remember you! I kept looking at you like 'do I know her?' You were one of the first naturals I remember with thick kinky long hair. You look different but the same, like you ready for your freshman year of college. But, I remember your graduation video and you wore your hair out. It's really good to see you back. I know life happens, but I hope you continue to make more videos. I was so close to cutting my hair but remembering how kinky and thick your hair was and seeing how it's thriving is giving me inspiration. Whatever happens, I'm glad to see you're doing good.
Tori don’t ever leave again!!!
AWWWW haha I will NOT
BRUHHHHHHH
What is her name with previous videos?
Lol
White Kandle oh that sucks... maybe she will put them up again
Welcome back! I went to check out your old videos to try and remember you, however, your old videos are not available. Can you share a little history to help remind me of your journey? Look forward to learning more about your hair care routine.
1pundyboomer Yes I was wondering the same thing too!
Thank you! yes i will! ill put that on my video list!
@@IndigenousStrandz11 , i just subbed you. Thigh length is impressive. I thought i was doing sometg when i got to tailbone. Im now back at mid back bcus i have severe heat damage. Flat ironed my hair 1st time in 5yrs and didnt do any protien rebuilding b4. I didn't realize that meds and stress had weakend my stands. Long story but i will be looking forward to hearing about your journey and regimen.
Beautiful hair and beautiful spirit! You are like a black unicorn defying all stereotypes and myths about black hair (22nd century natural woman here on YT included) and I love it! I can tell from the comments that just about all of us brown girls desire long natural hair but have for so long been denied bc we lack to understanding of HOW and WHAT to use/do (or not do lol) in order to help it to thrive to its fullest potential. Many of our women wear weaves/braids that look exactly like your hair. Shoot ur hair looks like Senegalese twist 😊
Long natural hair in our community should be the RULE not the exception and we shouldn't think one has to "mixed" to obtain long beautiful hair. Didn't know of your YT channel before but I'm glad you're back!! I'm loc'd and use the same products on me & my children's locs & loose natural hair! One time for the flaxseed gel, Aloe Vera juice & castor oil and that one loc hanging out in the back ✊💕😎
What is your wash and trim routine?
So happy to have you in my feed again. I recently decided to revisit two strand twist as a way to retain length. So this was right on time for me. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to future videos.
Thank you your soo sweet! Yes girl you can never go wrong with two strand twist, I find that people just don't do them as much anymore
I love this! This is a great alternative to dreadlocks. Our hair thrives with less manipulation. The key to long hair is rentention. I would love a more in-depth video on the products you use. ❤️
Im going on 3 yrs natural and i noticed i had a few set backs..but i changed my whole routine thanks to you. Im so glad i found your channel!! I hope to see my hair get healthy on my journey!
Girl first off your hair is beautiful. Second you know all those products distributors are hating on you because you are using only 3 very affordable products. Love your simple routine. What do you use to shampoo and condition? New Subbie by the way
Rubeana Harris good question. I want to give up on conditioner all together.
@@ThisCCLife hell, after this video I am....lol
Good question, I know she said if she needs to clean the scalp she adds acv to her spray bottle and a hot wash cloth. So I wonder if she even uses it anymore
Honestly I've been seeing that I lose less hair when I don't use the conditioner. I am just trying to figure out other ways to get moisture in there. I haven't tried castor oil though, so I will give it a try. I am a big shea butter lover but sometimes you need something lighter weight.
ThisCCLife i think castor oil is a sealant so you should use it after moisturising :)
Thank you for breaking down the reasons why you use each product! I have been natural since 2012, and had another big chop 3 years ago. I use sooo many products to moisturize my tightly coily low porosity hair for moisture, yet I have never retained length past my shoulders. I am going to try your method, but I am nervous because my hair gets so dry. But you, Sis, have taught us the lies of the product makers! Heck, our ancient sisters didn't use all of this junk on their hair, and they had long hair! I'm going in, Sis, and I'm praying that I can at least train my hair to only need these 3 natural tools! Love you!
This flaxseed at the end technique looks like a winner
I’m 5’11, so thigh length for me is a bit much, however, waist length is my goal. I’ve been natural going on 5 years now, and I’m doing my 2nd big chop tomorrow. Going to shave it all off and completely start fresh. My hair grows like crazy, but it’s been breaking off excessively. This time, I’ll stick to twists like you, so I can retain all of my length☺️ New subbie!
soyuwai M yes, sis! I’ve been natural for 4 years, grew my hair to waist on the 3rd year and chopped it off 1 year ago! Now it’s back to my armpits. 😭 it’s much better this time around. I was bald headed too, but I’m grateful. It was a great experience. Hope your hair journey is going well !
I'm tall too girl 😭 I completely understand and congratulations on the 2nd big chop ❤
Okay BeautyGuru... Were gonna need you to drop the routine sis 😅😭🙏🙌😩😂 My hair only grows like a 1/4 an inch or less a month from what I can tell from my recently dyed hair from seeing my dark roots 😕. I try to eat as healthy as possible & recently started making smoothies with veggies & fruits & a dash of MSM & Bamboo powder (bamboo for its silica content) or if I ran out of smoothie supplies will makeba matcha latte with almond milk with msm & bamboo powder. My eyebrows, eyelashes & skin has benefited from this but my hair seems to grow about the same pace & the only change I'm really is a couple of new baby hairs randomly sprouting on my front hair line (and this change of the baby hairs has only started has I started using sublimed sulfer & minazoale nitrate 😢) which I ain't mad about but want length on the hairs I have on my head already... Lol.
Ohhhh I forgot to mention I also take a daily multivitamin (to cover my bases & hair growth), biotin & iron (I believe I'm anemic & my multi does not contain iron).
Love the fact that you are promoting natural products! You and your hair is 🔥🔥🔥💜💙💛
New subscriber. Glad I ran across your video. I am at my wits end with trying to do my hair. Been natural 8 years and have had 8 years of setbacks. Contemplating locking my hair. My scalp attracts too much dirt to not wash but after seeing your video 2 strands twist will be my go to hair style. Looking forward to your videos.
Yes! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Someone who does not trim and still grow long hair. My hair is pretty long, not as long as yours, but I don't cut or trim my hair for personal beliefs. I also can't wait to hear about your wash routine and minimum products. I need a super simple routine. I'm ready for the Q&A video. Your hair is GORGEOUS!!!
naturallysweetkandi hi do you trim when you see split ends ? I’d love to stop trimming my hair too
@@TheGummybears101 Hi, no I don't trim at all. Since 2002, my hair have been trimmed once back in 2010. Then in August of 2010, I decided to return natural. I've never trimmed my hair since then. My hair has grown the longest and thickest it's ever been. I had a major set back a few years ago but I found out it was due to health issues. I'm pretty sure, when straightened, my hair should be back to the length in my thumbnail pic, if not longer! For your split ends i would suggest doing protein treatments, Henna or Cassia treatments, low manipulation, most importantly keep your hair especially your ends moisturized! Sorry for the long response. Hope i helped some.
naturallysweetkandi thanks for the response!. I recently had a set back too where I had a ton of shedding I believe it’s a health issue too, maybe because my iron levels are a bit below average however I am not anemic. Thank you for the tips!!
@@TheGummybears101 My iron and my Vitamin D was really low. Plus magnesium and Calcium etc. But since I've been taking my liquid iron I've seen a huge difference.
@@naturallysweetkandi Do you take Floradix iron? I love that brand! Doesn't cause constipation.
Wow. Welcome back. It's been... almost a decade!
It's crazy how much shrinkage natural hair gets. Someone's hair can be nearly twice as long and people would never know due to the shrinkage. You hair is beautiful as always!
thank you my love!!!
My hair is currently hip length. I'm natural as well. Yes we can grow very long hair! Thank you for making this video! I just subscribed to your channel!
Wow your hair sounds beautiful!!! I love that there's more of us growing our crowns out!! Although Every length of natural hair is beautiful! Thanks for joining the Tribe!!!
Which conditioner & sealing products do you use?
doThatGWalk she uses none
@@doThatGWalk I honestly create my own conditioners. It may sound a little gross but I really like the mayonnaise and avocado conditioner. It is really old school but it works. In the past I have used mane and tail conditioner. I also believe in heavy oiling for my hair using coconut oil , avocado oil, olive oil, and almond oil. The simpler the better
@@SmileOrangeWillow I was asking Sara but thank you.
Hey! I remember when you braided and twist your hair in buns all the time. And you wanted to have dreds like your dad. Glad to see you're back. You've grown, but i could nvr forget the voice. This sistren drops good knowledge!
My ends knot up on themselves when I do braids and twists too. I find laying them flat with pure shea butter prevents that. Flax seed gel does that too. I never thought about using it with twists/braids.
You're such a good teacher. Your channel is a Godsent!! Much love 💜
I just subscribed because you are worth following !!!! Thigh length??? My God! I’m here with bra strap length.... thank you for setting an example my God🙌🙌🙌
I just want to say that your video is so encouraging!! I will be 2 years natural in January with about 3 years of natural hair growth and people have told me how much my hair has been growing and I legit have the same regime (relatively, 2-3 products when styling). You just gave me some reassurance that I may be on the right track :)
it will and good for you!!! your hair looks beautiful from your pic, stay on that path and your hair will tank you for it!!
you go gurrl - you have inches and without doing a lot to your hair and saving coins too on hair products. Great video! btw: new sub
Thank you my love! thanks for joining the tribe!!!!! girl im too cheap for the extra stuff lol
@@IndigenousStrandz11 😂😂😂
Girl I so missed you!! I was so lost on my hair journey without you. Glad to have you back on YT.
New subscriber!! I feel like you are the answer to my prayers! I'm so tired of all these steps and using 10 hours at a time to do my hair🤷♀️. Im certainly going to give this a try! Thank you and God bless you for sharing.
🤔 no shampooing or deep conditioning... I'm willing to try it. 👏
Can't wait to see more videos from you!
Also, do you wet/spray your hair nightly? If so, with aloe vera juice?
If not, how often do you moisturize?
Yayy! Thanks for joining the Tribe! The key is weaning your hair off slowly from what u currently use if you do it cold turkey your hair is going to revolt lol Ill make a video on all of this soon, nope i dont spray my hair nightly but I do moisturize it every week with castor oil.
@@IndigenousStrandz11 oohhh... okay, do a quick video of how you maintain it weekly (you put oil on weekly without retwisting, right?). I know that may sound simple to you too record, but every little bit helps and seeing is believing. You are giving me hope, hope not to return back to the creamy crack. 🙅♀️
@@IndigenousStrandz11 Your twists are beautiful. I am curious about not using conditioner. I am loc'd and saw a loc'd youtuber speak about not putting anything in her locs. I currently moisturize my scalp with aloe vera gel from the plant and peppermint oil. I also apply castor oil to my locs for moisture. So I guess I need help with no conditioner and no shampoo. I have eczema in my scalp so that's a hard one for me. Any suggestions? Subscribing.
Indigenous Standz your hair also reminds me of Cipriana Quinn who has grown super long hair with loose twists and only uses oil to moisturize her hair.
I have to say, I’ve seen a LOT of natural hair bloggers but you are seriously the most AWESOME! I really mean that. I used to think wow bloggers don’t have hair breakage, maybe it’s just me. When I had excessive hair breakage I went to my dermatologist and found a new hair stylist. Both said the breakage was from overly dry hair and especially not getting my ends trimmed. After seeing both my breakage is at a minimum but I still have a little because the weather in my area is super cold and running heaters doesn’t help. I absolutely LOVE your simplicity. The crazy part is I have 2 of the 3 products you use. I’ll have to try making my own gel, but until then I’ll use some that I already bought. It’s not flaxseed but it is a gel and NOT Eco Styler, which I hate. I’ll be looking at all your hair videos, it will take me a while but it will sure be worth it. Your are super awesome and thank you.💜
Wild Flower awwwwww no ur awesome😘😘😘😘 girl we ALLLL have some kind of breakage even me its normal nothing last forever the key is to control it
I will be getting like 4 gallons of Aloe Vera juice from Walmart, plus Castor oil!! Thanks sis!! 💕💕💖
Loool if you find any lol since I’m going out to get them
This retention method makes so much sense!!! Your hair screams HEALTH & LOVE🌸
I am speechless! That’s amazing growth. How long will you go?
Until my hair says ENOUGH HEFFA! lol my goal is to inspire!
Woooow that’s goals !!!!!
Love the simplicity of this! Just shows, hair care does not have to be complicated or convoluted in order to have the desired results
I love your hair it's beautiful. You have real dedication. I personally couldn't wear twist 99% of the time. It's like having Gray eyes but having 2 keep them closed lol. Nooo id wanna show it. I love black hair i hate we have 2 cover it at all.
That's the thing. All that beautiful hair that is mostly covered up. It needs to b recognized! Such a beauty.
Thats the part that sucks! Once we start using multiple products, blow drying, straightening, stretching(pretty much anything that shows the true length) we have to deal with breakage and dryness :(
I’ve watched this video and I’m in awe . Her hair is beautiful, but I personally could not wear the same style. I love change
Its not covered up, and when it is, It's for protection. If we want to maintain our length, proper protective styling is the best way to do it. Smart beautiful woman. Plus I LOVE some cute twists. I wear them most of the time too❤twist=length retention.
@@dollhouseq1530 there are methods of stretching the hair that won't cause those issues and don't need heat or products.
This is primarily how I take care of my daughters hair. Her hair is mid back length. and shoulder length when twisted. She has some serious shrinkage.😀 she's 3 . I would like to grow my hair long .. but I don't have the patience for myself....but this is quite a motivator. Great simple, natural hair routine... I love it!
gel your ends to prevent tangles and matting 3:09-4:45.
ending your twist 13:03-14:22.
Thank you!
Thanks
wow, i love your hair and your 3 product routine. people like you not commercialized and trying to convence people to buy products is what the natural hair movement needs
I recently started doing a similar routine. I’m weening myself off of store bought products.I may have to simplify it even a little bit more. It’s like retraining my brain to a less is more routine and not more is more. So far it has been helping, using oils, aloe, vera, Shea butter, diluted apple cider vinegar and water. Along with exercise, scalp massages and diet. Seems like the hair growth sped up a little bit after getting rid of all the products and chemicals. 🙌🏾
OMG I was so bummed when ur old channel dissappeared!! I’m happy to see your back!!
Wow, lovely. My hair shrinks up almost instantly like a measuring tape. I said my hair must be thigh length for it to stay at my shoulders because my hair wants to stay up. Twists are a great idea.
They are great for natural hair of any length, i cant live without them
Respect ya'll's elders!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing your personal research and info... It really is a blessing!
lol no problem thank you and thanks for watching
I'm really glad this video was suggested to me because I'm tired of doing twistouts that don't even last long and barely being able to see the real length of my hair.
I would like to ask if you have any tips for someone who would like to start doing what you're doing? When you first started, did you do your twists on freshly washed hair or was it stretched first?
I can't wait to see more videos from you about how you take care of your hair! I have type 4 hair that just wants to be left alone so I think this will be the best style for me.
Honestly one day i just got tired of buying shit lol i use to use joyco conditioner and its not cheap! so i twisted my hair and learned from there, I will do a more in depth video! Thanks for watching and i appreciate the kind words.
You can buy flaxseeds (also calls linseeds) and make the gel by boiling flaxseeds in water I believe
OMG!!! You’re back, and can you believe just yesterday I thought how is she doing is she still on UA-cam...then today I saw your video on my newsfeed, my notifications were clearly late as this was posted 2 weeks ago, but all the same, you’re back. I thought you left UA-cam for good. you were my hair inspiration from way back, I used to put my hair in braids like you for protective styling. I’m so happy to see, and be reminded that less is more when it comes to products. I truly forgot that rule and have been an avid product junkie which I’m not proud of. I’m finally gonna be able to grow my hair back with your tutorials. I’ve been subscribed all these years, so glad to see your hair growth. Welcome back.
Nataleigh oh that's such as my heart I really honestly thought that I was forgotten , I want to hear you guys tell me that you thought of me that really makes me feel like I'm doing something right cuz I was going to give up but something whispered in my ear one day to come back on here and that's what I did and I'm just getting an overwhelming welcome and love and support from all of you and that honestly makes my days😍😍🌻🌻

Amazing you have the longest natural hair ive never seen in my entire life im reaaaallllyyyyy amazed about that.
But i world like to know a little bit more about your hair journey please....i supose you delete your oldest videos..
thanks !!
There was soooo much negative energy on here and i left for a while! I will do a video soon! Thank you I hear that alot but my goal is to help black women achieve this type of hair growth!
Just as long as 22nd Century woman here on UA-cam. Both gorgeous.
Jealousy is like cancer in the bones. IGNORE ALL STUPID QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS!!! YOU ARE TRULY A BLESSING AND INSPIRATION!!
I love how you just keep it simple I used to tell people all the time you don't need all this and all that in your hair keep it simple and your hair will respond. And I'm a two strand twist girl myself.
lovely hair!
I personally don't believe in terminal length, dispite what scientists say lol
How tall are you?
I am 5'4! Thank you! Im not a big believer in it either
I remember your videos. Good to see update. Thigh length?! Giiirl, #goals. I'm still hanging around tailbone. I'm also rocking medium twists which I've been washing & redoing for the last 4wks. I am so ready to take these out, but this video is changing my mind, lol. I'm glad you keep your hair care & products simple.
"Don't forget about your ends, they're your elders and you have to respect your elders" lol love it!
Yoooo you were one of the OG natural hair vloggers when I first started looking up hair tips on UA-cam. Glad you're back! Teach these girls that simple is always better!
I also heard that aloe vera OIL will make your hair flyyyyyyyyyy honey chyle. Im headed to the store, anybody want some?
You still at the store?! 😂
Please get me some girl 😭

Ok, 1) I need the exact castor oil, aloe vera juice and Flaxseed used. 2) Has your hair always been this long? 3) I saw this video instantly subscribed, liked and signed up for notifications. Which, by the way, I never do. I mean Never. Your hair is life goals 😍😍😍

I just started twisting, less than a month ago. I just found your site. Great helpful info. I’m in the transition stage from heat and chemicals. Please keep teaching.
This was so informative and relaxing to view. Please continue to upload when time allows🤗 love the simplicity of your haircare routine.
Beautiful hair indeed! Motivational video for those of us who think we don't and can't have long hair. Thanks for the vid...keep us posted.
What is your hair porosity?
VERY HIGH! It soaks up any moisture quick thats why i opt for castor oil because its a slow absorbing oil. Ill make sure i add this in my next video
I cant believe ur like the first High porosity natural with such long hair
Angel Sweet yeah!there are tons of high porosity hair with lots of hair not just normal or low it’s actually normal using the right products for high porosity hair also some people think high porosity hair is from damage it’s just genetics and born with high porosity hair also
nobuhle kunene use light products do u don’t get build up like jojoba oil and very very light non thick products and rinse with warm water to open the cuticles for no build up hope this helps :)
@@IndigenousStrandz11 I knew it!!!!! I searched the comments I knew you had high porosity hair it's just like mine, I recently learned to use Camille Rose or Uncle Funky Daughter gel to kept me hair from recoiling on itself. My hair is naturally highly porous and easily dangle. I'm surprised you don't need a heavy butter to seal. Oh my hair love aloe vera juice too.
Absolutely beautiful! I am growimg my hair to my first goal through two strand twists to BSL length...I am at 13 inches...so excited after my third shave. You are hair goals. Thank you for the tips!
I wish we could have seen the journey. You started this channel with super long hair already.
This video is right on time!!! Welcome back, congrats on becoming a mother, and your hair is lovely! I look forward to more videos. I was talking with a friend about going back to about 15 years ago when my hair was happiest and longest. I kept my hair in twist, rarely washed it (my scalp and hair were never dirty), and I didn't use much product other than Shea butter and castor oil. Your video brought so much back that I couldn't remember.
we have to remember that our hair looves being loc'd I basically treated my hair as if it was loc'd. You were on the right path! Ill do a more in depth video on this method i used. thanks for watching!!
Well I guess my waist length just ain't good enough no mo..
Lol
M B lol, no need to compare
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
😆😆😂😂🤣🤣
Thigh length is my hair goal! Def saved this video. I was once waist length, but really wanted a shaved head lol , so I did that for 1 year and accidentally started growing my hair back out and I've been (commercial) product free since I was bald and my hair is sooooooo healthy! I'm really loving this journey.
Your hair is beautiful. Can do a video demonstration on how you cleanse your scalp and hair?
yessss! i sure will and thank you!!!
I'm out here trying, dying, and crying in attempt to grow my hair. Please post more videos and how to grow and retain length. I've never seen hair this long, I know I can do it.
T Chambers I’m with you! you go girl 💫
So Beautiful!! Any aloe Vera alternatives for those who are allergic?? That would be greatly appreciated :)
discoveryourpower • Hey hun are you positive you're allergic? The yellow substance secreting from the aloe plant when cut is irritating to some people. If you wash the aloe of this, you may actually find that you can use it without irritation.
Add vegetable glycerin to water and spray with that. Aloe and glycerin are both natural humectants. Make sure you don't have a coconut allergy as many vegetable glycerin are derived from coconut. Just water works too. If you have thick strands that take a while to get wet, use warm water.
Shan W I'm sure... I even have irritation with bottled aloe juice and products that contain aloe
K D thanks for tip!
discoveryourpower • Oh ok I hear you.
Wow! I just shaved off my hair after a year of growing it out and I’m regretting it after seeing this. I discovered aloe and castor oil combo and it made my hair so soft. I just didn’t want to deal with hair anymore. I plan to regrow it. I will definitely be keeping it simple this time around and trying out keeping it twisted and flax seed gel. Looking forward to more videos!
I’m going to use that flaxseed gel tip. I definitely haven’t heard of it, and my ends have problems with unraveling and tangling.
I don’t know if I can do thigh length hair 😫😫😫 I’ll just be stopping at my behind 😂👌🏾
try it! its a life changer!!!
Thank you sis for the clarity. You and 22nd Century Natural Woman are my inspiration and hair heroin 😊😘
You/your hair remind me of UA-camr, Efficiently Natural. She has extremely long healthy twists too.
Yes her hair is sooo bomb.
They use different regimens/products, but similar hair.
Wow !! Your hair is completely amazing! This is literally the longest natural hair I have ever seen in my entire life. I need you to please do more videos, please do a wash day and how you style please, please, please. Please also show your products. WE need you, the Natural Community needs you
Wow hair goals!
lol Thank You
By far the simplest routine EVER and I'm here for it! Can you share where you purchased your products? And do you an occasion trimming of your ends? Thanks for sharing your routine your hair is beautiful!
So we have the same length hair on our heads right now!!! Yay!!
Only.....mine is from the store😅😂😂
Maybe on day mine can be real too bcz these hair shops are getting real expensive!
aww im so happy to see youre back and doing well! congratulations on motherhood and I hope you do a life update video. I see so many changes within you that you don't even have to point out. I expected that whenever you came back that you would be chilling with perfectly formed locs down to your knee caps. I think thats where I left off with your videos when you were considering just locking your hair. I think we started our channels at the same times and fell off the face of youtube at the same time and now we are back at the same time lol. You probably don't remember me but again i am so happy you are doing well and happy and thriving!
Hello BEAUTY! Yes I actually do! I went on ur channel and I had to sub!! You have the best personality and you are the cutest! My daughter is half Asian soo u already know im down with your vids!

No competition. She, like 22nd Century woman is sharing a wealth of knowledge and not bragging or trying to compete. 22nd Century woman said herself she want to see many more women with long hair.
