We don't have to prove anything tbh, if you want long hair, work to get long hair and it you want short hair then get short hair. It's not society.. Its ourselves wanting to fit into society😪
Lol this society is backwards and pathetic anyway, just like most of the world. Long hair might be aesthetically pleasing but at the end of the day, can a female bring ACTUAL skills and worth to the table?? Think about it. You know your planet's societies and cultures are moderately primitive and unevolved when the extent of what women are prized for is largely "beauty," long hair, physical assets (i.e., butt, breasts, body, at the end of the day), and small trinkets moreso than technological achievement and galaxy spanning accomplishments.
We as blk women, shouldn't need to prove our hair. My hair is pass the middle of my back and I have started over many times. I also don't like that people ask if I am "mixed" or have fake hair just because im blk.
@No Name I'm sorry, I didn't know that u knew me well enough to know my genetics. I don't have to prove my blackness to u, or to anyone else for that matter. I also never claimed to be 💯 West African.

Weaves are great for growing hair but the truth is these beliefs are there because most of the black women we do see do not have waist length hair and that's the truth....its not about we can grow it..its about do you have it
1-Trim hair once a year (not every month) 2-Avoid heat (eg. flat iron once a year) 3-Lay off the hair coloring (eg. can use henna for natural hair, avoid for chemically treated hair) 4-Can use hair relaxer but take care of your hair, keep it moisturized and healthy 5-Use good hair oils (eg. olive oil, etc), you do not need to spend a fortune on it 6-Get a good hair conditioner (can leave only for 10-15 mins, does not have to be the whole day ), can make your own conditioner at home with natural products (eg. yogurt, honey, grapes, avocado's etc) 7-After deep conditioner use leave-in moisturizer, then use hair oil on top of that 8-Manipulate as little as possible (avoid tiny braids, frequent styling , etc), use head wraps and wigs instead if needed (keep your hair locked away) 9-Keep it simple, stick to one routine 10-Be patient 11-Eat a healthy diet
Thank youu also I suggest switching when you put you’re oil in if you’re having a hard time with it. For me I have to put olive oil in first then layer my products :))
The love is learning to not put a million products on it, constantly color it, and put it in styles we think are protective that is putting tension on the hair. That's love.
@@ellec2935 so true my father taught me all you said from the time I was 12. I used to get mad but he said you will thank me. At 43 my hair is long and strong. Emphasis on the "strong" because health is what matters.
Let's normalize us AA women having long hair. Like she said, is it really that serious for someone to lie about how long their hair is. The petulance is real.
@@__ieshiaa Black people is better. Just because there are Black people outside of the US and we’re not referred to as AA. It wasn’t a problem tho, idk why they made a big deal out of it cause I still got what you were saying
I think it’s all about finding the right one. My hair is a couple inches shorter than hers and just as thick and I’ve gone to a salon for over 10 years.
I let my hair do what it wants after I style it. I dont keep a comb in my purse or car. On days i dont leave home my bonnet stays on all day and I don't touch my hair.
With the trims I agree. If your ends aren't damaged, then they don't need to be cut. Cutting your ends help with length retention if your ends are damaged. Damaged ends break off, and if your keeps breaking then you will not see growth. So in that case trimming the hair off will stop if from.breaking. If your hair grows an inch then you cut an inch. You're not going to see growth. And if your ends are constantly damaged, instead of trimming, find out why your hair is damaged in the first place. Healthy hair needs less trims.
So many black girls hair is on the Salon floor. A white girl at work said to me: How come Black girls are always talking about they want long hair and "trim" every six weeks?
@@Mia-sp8jc Because that’s what their black hairstylist is telling them to keep them coming back or friends who have short hair who don’t know how to grow their hair long. It’s sad how some black stylist don’t want to work with natural hair too, always pushing using chemicals on our hair to keep up with other races hairstyles when it damages our hair.
@@ashleycbla Oh Ashley, Yes! Black women are being done really nasty when it comes to hair care and growth! My gosh so many hair "doers" are either clueless to the max or don't give a damn.
Planetvit0ria your so right and it's the blow dryer for me. Because when I'm not using the heat my hair thrives. Less breakage to so I'm going with out heat. I used protective products, dax grease, Ors mayonnaise conditioner yup it works for me. Back to the basics. My hair use to be shoulder length now it won't grow beyond my neck. It's what we eat to as well.
Low Iron also causes hair shedding and breakage. I’ve always been slightly anemic and once I started taking iron supplements my hair stopped shedding a lot and now my hair is longer than it’s ever been
That’s my issue.. my nails and hair are trash because of it. I have bad effects from iron supplements so I have to eat around it...which is fine until I get super busy and don’t ...then my nails start breaking and my hair starts shedding like a dog 🐕
That's my problem too, it would grow long & than damage again...back & forth, uuff. But, leaving it natural helps grow faster, plus alo vera & avocado hair mask helps once or twice a month.
Also WRAP THAT HAIR UP LADIES. Those pillowcases & covers break your hair off so much. It also mats and compacts your hair down. A bonnet and/or scarf will help keep the moisture in. Which will help your hair grow.
YES. I try to tell my friends this. Even if I’m dead tired I wrap my hair up. It can be a lazy wrap which is a satin scarf around my edges and a bonnet. Or I can do it with effort and pin curl or wrap my hair. But I neverrrrrr get in the bed with my hair loose EVER. Huge no no
My hair is almost to my waist which was my goal by age 30! I wore twists all last year I literally do nothing to my hair! I have 4b hair! I’ve been growing my hair since 2015. But honestly having a baby grew my hair crazy! I still take my prenatals which work wonders! I drink water, I trim 2xs a year, and do braids twice a year
Yep girl, pregnancy and taking prenatal vitamins helped grow my hair too. I’m 2 months postpartum and I plan on stopping anytime soon because the results have been unbelievable ❤️😇
I know this video is old but it came up in my feed. I loved your comments so much on the ends not being that raggedy and not having to trim it so often. I so agree with it. I do have a different stance on heat though. I know of people with long hair (the Glam Twinz for ex) who straighten once a month in the winter. Yes they got some heat damage but it wasn't falling out or breaking. The key is to do all the deep conditioning and protein treatment. Anyway i just wanted to respond to this because i just loved your take on the important of deep conditioning and not overly trimming.
Its interesting how we think its unbelievable that our hair can grow so long or hold a beautiful style naturally even its short! I first went natural in 2005. Even with 4-6 inches of hair I someone believing my real hair was fake. A little maintenance and tlc goes a long way. Your hair is proof!
FYI this applies to all hair types. Not just us black beauties. Women take care of you Whole heartedly. Love yourself. And specifically to us- remember your hair is precious and most diverse. WE CAN DO ANYTHING! PeriodT!
I’ve trimmed my hair every 3-4 months and my hair has grown so fast and long. Do what works for your hair. I’ve seen significant growth to my hair just by getting trims alone. I think it’s important to only get trims if you need them though.
Right only if you need them. If you are not putting any chemicals or heat in your hair on a regular basis and retaining moisture then you don’t need to trim at all because your hair and ends should be healthy.
“Do what works for your hair” is the best advice ever! I was listening to girls saying don’t even use blow dryers and my hair would get badly tangled and dry because it is too coily in it’s natural state and no heatless stretching worked so I started using the blow dryer on low and I now see better results and I only have to wash my hair bi weekly now instead of weekly
Finally an HONEST person speaking on their hair growth. I remember when a beautician cut my hair short like that. Early 2000’s I didn’t call it a big chop lol I just wanted my hair cut. I was a huge Motions product fan. My hair grew back fuller and healthier. It wasn’t til I started wearing wigs and sew ins that my hair started becoming damaged. But I’ve only been getting braid either my real hair braided down or a braided style keeping my hair moisturized
@@courtneyjones-laweka1716 bby cast ur ends flaxseed gel and Shea butter so they literally can’t damage themselves it’s like wrapping ur ends in bubble wrap
@@astrose305 I'm so going to do this! Thank you for the info! Heat (no blow dryers, no irons) only touches my hair, SERIOUSLY, when I go to the salon, 4 times a year and I still get split ends 😩 This will definitely be worth a try🤗
Exactly, people are just so stupid and expect us to be bald-headed. Like people are finding any reason to say her hair is fake because apparently blk womans hair doesn't grow past shoulderlength
@@babymochi6733 Honestly, why is our hair such a huge talking point/discussion. If you wear wigs you're bald-headed or don't like you hair, if you wear you natural fro you're called nappy headed or if it's long you're mixed or ''it's tracks. People care too damn much about hair. People in the comments already insisting her hairs fake smh
Yesss 🙌🏾 Healthy hair grows!! It took me so long to realize that AA women could grow their hair to waist length. Mine has grown so much from not trimming my ends! I wish I would’ve known about that tip sooner because my beauticians were trimming my ends way too often 🤦🏾♀️
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you chica. I knew it was simple but having someone put it into words confirms what it's going to take and that's patience!
You just retained all your hair and thats key. Hair grows, we just manipulate it or improperly care for it which causes us to lose it. There is no real way to speed up how fast your hair grows. Its always growing, just make sure youre keeping all the length.
Both natural hair or relaxed can grow long and healthy the most important thing you look after your hair also protective hair styles is a girls best friend and try hair products that’s suits your hair type
This is the most annoying thing ever. I've had people question my hair when its in it's natural state and when straight. Then when I say YES... the next thing is "can I touch it!" No I'm not a pet wtf?🙄
💯YOU DO NEED TO BE CAREFUL LETTING PEOPLE TOUCH YOUR HAIR IT IS SOME PEOPLE THAT IS NOT VERY NICE I HEARD OF PEOPLE LETTING PEOPLE TOUCH THEIR HAIR AND IT FEEL OUT BE CAREFUL YOU NEVER KNOW 🙃💯
You should never have to prove yourself! No matter what people say ok? It's either they believe you or they don't! Thank you for coming on here and speaking your truth. If people don't like it or believe you they should keep it moving! I'm on a hair journey and this is major inspo for me, thank you!
Such a sweet lady! Love the hair and those tips are soooo TRUE!! I grew my daughter hair waist length at 3 years old doing what she’s saying! Too cheap to buy all those products so I make my own!
your hair is soooo gorgeous! It's so amazing how us black women can grow our own hair and it comes out beautiful and is more satisfying because it's our own hair! Watching natural youtubers as a young girl 13/14 years old really inspired me on my hair journey and gave me hope that if these girls can do it, I can do it too. I transitioned with braids and cut my dead relaxed ends off. I couldn't believe a full, thick head of hair was hiding in my scalp 😆. I hope my short message encourages someone. God bless you!
Your hair looks so healthy and beautiful! I think some people don't like to acknowledge that many black women have healthy long natural hair because they and people around them don't know how to do it and it makes them feel some type of way. That's why so many people forgot to breathe when Beyonce showed off her long hair that one time 🙄😂
@@latonyahill8950 she's not mixed her dad is 100% black and her mom is creole from Louisiana. Alicia Keys, Meghan Markle or Barrack Obama, Drake are mixed. You'll notice that one of their parent is 100% black and the other is 100% white, which is not Beyonce's case. However she's a multimillionaire married to a billionaire so she can benefit from the knowledge and care of the best professional in the world, she can literally pay to have someone wash her hair, someone else to dry it and a third party to style it if she wanted to...so I'm sure that helps immensely. I'll give you that
She is mixed. Her mother has strong non black genes. Certain Creole have European in them. Look it up. Look at her mom. Again I say very strong non black features.
@@maroonhorizon1693 did you know that Latin American include an array of languages and accents, namely Portuguese, which is a language spoken in Africa, particularly Angola, hence why I mentioned Latin American?!
I don't trim my hair, period!!! What I do is pay attention to the roots as much as I do the ends. I moisturise and treat and keep them in protective style. My hair is long!!!!
Great advice! Best thing that happened to my hair in recent years has been the COVID lockdown. My weekly hair appointments included color, blow dry, flat ironing and monthly trims. But in lockdown I’ve stopped going to my hairdresser. For the past year, I’ve only trimmed my hair once, roller set my hair using low heat, let my grey roots grow out and my hair has already grown down to my lower arm pits. You are right that white and Asian women get shocked when black women have long and lush hair. When I was younger, I sometimes had non black women follow me to the ladies room and confess that they had to see because they couldn’t believe my hair was real! Glad to get back to taking care of it myself! Just because you have money doesn’t mean that some self maintenance isn’t in order. Your advice is spot on, I’m not certain though about the double condition. Some of us with thinner hair and looser curls might find their hair getting oily too quickly. You have gorgeous hair, it’s obviously working for you!
I had my first baby at 32 and baby girl came out with a almost 3 inch fro, no lie. I literally big cropped my bra length hair to 3 inches long just to figure out how to take care of her natural hair. Now my baby girl is 4 Years Old and her hair is waist length. I'm sub'in cuz I need the help with maintaining her hair. Your hair is loving what your doing. Keep up the great work. 🥰
Beautiful young lady. Females used to ask me what type of weave is that - my response was it’s mine sis but what worked for me was braids.. cornrows and leave it alone for months. Wash and redo all year got it mid way my back. These are my hair goals!
I love this video! A very honest, straightforward approach to haircare. I have been following pretty much the same routine for the past year and my hair has grown so much! New subscriber 👌🏾
Love seeing all the positive comments. Everything she said is so true, it took me 40+ years to finally get my natural hair back to the way it was as a child, now that hairline of mine is still a work in progress...lol...but as she says, no matter what race, our hair needs and thrives on moisture moisture moisture!!! Thank you so much for the video gorgeous🙆🏽♀️ #HairGrowthGoals.
Appreciate it. Listing the products you use in the suggestion box always can help, when viewers can't see the names of the containers you show in your presentation.
Your hair is so pretty it looks like a wig! Is so thick. I love it. I trim only once 3 to 6 months. I use henna for my color for sure. It makes my hair shine.great tips
I just chopped off my hair bc albeit it long and natural I put a lot of heat on it during the heart of the pandemic ... My hair was falling out I’ve had bald spots and on 2/7 I shaved it all I’m going to be patient and let it happen ... thanks for sharing
I'm so tired of ppl thinking we can't grow hair! I started my dreadlocks 2 yrs ago, my hair isn't even that long yet. However ppl ask me all the time if this is my real hair, even the guy I'm dating thought this wasn't "all" my real hair. I have never had a problem with hair growth, I would just always do things, that caused me to lose length.
Me personally. I just wash my hair once a week. Condition it. I use a wide tooth comb. And through out the week I don’t comb it or nothin. I just run my fingers through it. The less I comb the longer my hair gets
Girl I literally just found you so thank you so much for talking about the relaxed hair, 👏🏾 I have relaxed and people almost made me feel like I was crazy 🤣🤷🏽♀️
Last month was my first time trimming my hair in two years because I mostly wear my hair natural. My hair is the same length as hers and it looks healthy after trimming.
Might take away is if you're home alone there's no need to manipulate your hair just let it be... Also I'll start looking at food that I have in the kitchen that I just throw away that I could multi-purpose for my hair (like honey, avocado and olive oil) and use in a healthy way. By the way, those ingredients work wonders for my hair. Thanks for the tips!❤
I've always had long hair growing up, I was around 15 when my mom relaxed my hair but I was still retaining length. When I got older I went to this salon to get a wash and set and the girl there was supposed to just give me a trim, y'all she cut so much of my hair off. I was so upset and haven't been back to a salon, I only go now to a family friend who owns her own salon and she braids my hair for a protective style. Definitely trying to grow my hair back to where it once was. Love your tips!!!
I'm about 4 inches from tailbone length hair and I keep one style. I plait it and fold it back and leave it alone. Every now and then on a special occasion I wear my hair out, but other than that it stays tucked away. I have nothing to prove to anybody. If they think I'm bald who cares.. I know the truth 😌
I remember 10 years ago at my old job I started wearing my own hair instead of sew ins. Everyone was asking is that your real hair or they would randomly touch my scalp not hair 😒. Black girls/women can have long hair even 4c types like myself. Now I wear wigs just because I can keep my hair braided and less manipulation and I have scalp eczema but that’s a whole other topic.
I tell people the same thing twice a year every six months lol❤️✊🌺 when you cut your hair every month you're cutting what's growing especially if you try to cut your hair more than two in your hair only grows a half an inch a month. 🌺And sometimes it can grow more than that depending upon what you do during that month.🌺 There's a time where I literally grew my hair 4 to 5 inches in two and a half monthsbecause of the products that I'm making use. Like she said, cut your hair once or twice a year and that's enough twice as the max and you will see the growth even more
Your hair is soo gorgeous! I know what your saying is true! Because my hair has started growing down my back! I’m stumbled across these tips on my own.... I haven’t used heat at all in my hair for a year in a half! I wash and condition and deep condition once a week in a half! I seal the ends with oil and I massage my scalp with oil and plait hair up. Put a satin cap on to sleep. When I go out, I wear cute turbans.Thanks for your confirmation and inspiration! I know I’m on the right path!
Do mind sharing the list of products you showed. It was hard to see the names of everything? Thank you for sharing your tips the only thing I would add is drinking alot of water. Great video.
These are some of the tips I live by. I have a few things that gave me extra growth but I'm now at Tailbone Length and so are my children (or longer). This is a great video!
As a cosmetologist, i do not recommend you NOT trimming your ends every 6-8 weeks, UNLESS you only use heat once or twice a year. Split ends are not cute and you'll eventually NEED a cut....a trim would no longer be efficient. Other than that, these are some good tips. Learn your hair & what it likes. Happy healthy hair journey Luv Bugs🥰
Great video! I love your hair. I'm in faux locs now, extensions but in March when they come out I'm def doing a length check. Trimming my hair less frequently really made the difference. I agree with you on that! You're very beautiful!
Loved this video, it doesn’t mean you hate yourself because you get a perm 😂 You ain’t lied about nothing I’m about to buy a steamer Healthy long strong hair to everyone 💕💫
The fact that us black women have to prove that our natural hair is long is just so sad, I can not stand our society.
It shows health and responsibility.
I’m tired of the obsession with long hair. I cut mine off last weekend to shoulder length and will probably cut more. I love it.
Girl they sick and slow 😂

It's not that our hair won't grow, it's just we do things that break it off!
Bingo!
The key to keep it moisturized.
Preach..
Honestly most times it doesn't even be that, in it's natural state my hair is about 4x shorter cuz it shrinks. Straightened people can see the length.
and it's because of shrinkage!!!!

My hair is almost to my waist which was my goal by age 30! I wore twists all last year I literally do nothing to my hair! I have 4b hair! I’ve been growing my hair since 2015. But honestly having a baby grew my hair crazy! I still take my prenatals which work wonders! I drink water, I trim 2xs a year, and do braids twice a year
Thanks for sharing !
Isn’t it crazy that the less you do the more growth you see ?
Yep girl, pregnancy and taking prenatal vitamins helped grow my hair too. I’m 2 months postpartum and I plan on stopping anytime soon because the results have been unbelievable ❤️😇
What brand of prenatal vitamins you guys take

I know this video is old but it came up in my feed. I loved your comments so much on the ends not being that raggedy and not having to trim it so often. I so agree with it. I do have a different stance on heat though. I know of people with long hair (the Glam Twinz for ex) who straighten once a month in the winter. Yes they got some heat damage but it wasn't falling out or breaking. The key is to do all the deep conditioning and protein treatment.
Anyway i just wanted to respond to this because i just loved your take on the important of deep conditioning and not overly trimming.
Thank you so much 😊
I appreciate the fact that you explained how you have to be patient thanks
Thank you 🙏🏾
Its interesting how we think its unbelievable that our hair can grow so long or hold a beautiful style naturally even its short! I first went natural in 2005. Even with 4-6 inches of hair I someone believing my real hair was fake. A little maintenance and tlc goes a long way. Your hair is proof!
You’re 100% right , maintenance is everything.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾🌸💖
This is literally the realest hair video that I’ve watched 😂 straight to the mf’n point
FYI this applies to all hair types. Not just us black beauties. Women take care of you Whole heartedly. Love yourself. And specifically to us- remember your hair is precious and most diverse. WE CAN DO ANYTHING! PeriodT!
I love you!!!!! You’re a legend!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
💖💖💖💖🙌🏾
I’ve trimmed my hair every 3-4 months and my hair has grown so fast and long. Do what works for your hair. I’ve seen significant growth to my hair just by getting trims alone. I think it’s important to only get trims if you need them though.
Right only if you need them. If you are not putting any chemicals or heat in your hair on a regular basis and retaining moisture then you don’t need to trim at all because your hair and ends should be healthy.
“Do what works for your hair” is the best advice ever! I was listening to girls saying don’t even use blow dryers and my hair would get badly tangled and dry because it is too coily in it’s natural state and no heatless stretching worked so I started using the blow dryer on low and I now see better results and I only have to wash my hair bi weekly now instead of weekly
@@charniecearielle I blow dry my hair but I blow dry my hair only on the cool setting. I don't use heat when I blow dry my hair.
Finally an HONEST person speaking on their hair growth. I remember when a beautician cut my hair short like that. Early 2000’s I didn’t call it a big chop lol I just wanted my hair cut. I was a huge Motions product fan. My hair grew back fuller and healthier. It wasn’t til I started wearing wigs and sew ins that my hair started becoming damaged. But I’ve only been getting braid either my real hair braided down or a braided style keeping my hair moisturized
No flat ironing no split ends very simple soooooo worth it😍
You’re 100% right. 🌸✨
I wish it was that simple. No heat, split ends still come😫
@@courtneyjones-laweka1716 bby cast ur ends flaxseed gel and Shea butter so they literally can’t damage themselves it’s like wrapping ur ends in bubble wrap
@@astrose305 I'm so going to do this! Thank you for the info! Heat (no blow dryers, no irons) only touches my hair, SERIOUSLY, when I go to the salon, 4 times a year and I still get split ends 😩 This will definitely be worth a try🤗
Ppl were posting in the comments that Meg has micro links “Im like why who lies about that Its just hair!” Lmao. Gurl exactly!
Exactly, people are just so stupid and expect us to be bald-headed. Like people are finding any reason to say her hair is fake because apparently blk womans hair doesn't grow past shoulderlength
Yes people just be hating
@@mochabarbie3764 They just want to use that bald headed stereotype against us🙄
@@babymochi6733 Honestly, why is our hair such a huge talking point/discussion. If you wear wigs you're bald-headed or don't like you hair, if you wear you natural fro you're called nappy headed or if it's long you're mixed or ''it's tracks. People care too damn much about hair. People in the comments already insisting her hairs fake smh
I love the honesty and the fact you’re not selling a dream, beautiful hair. Do you drink a lot of water and eat really healthy?
Yeah I try to drink lots of water but I could do better if we’re being honest 😩
I try to eat healthy though,
Veggies and grains a lot
You are the first tuber that I came across that seems honest and genuine. Thank you for the tips!
Yesss 🙌🏾 Healthy hair grows!! It took me so long to realize that AA women could grow their hair to waist length. Mine has grown so much from not trimming my ends! I wish I would’ve known about that tip sooner because my beauticians were trimming my ends way too often 🤦🏾♀️
You don't have to prove nothing to no one! As long as YOU know it's YOURS. That's all that matters.
That is so true
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you chica. I knew it was simple but having someone put it into words confirms what it's going to take and that's patience!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that 🌸💖✨
You just retained all your hair and thats key. Hair grows, we just manipulate it or improperly care for it which causes us to lose it. There is no real way to speed up how fast your hair grows. Its always growing, just make sure youre keeping all the length.
Both natural hair or relaxed can grow long and healthy the most important thing you look after your hair also protective hair styles is a girls best friend and try hair products that’s suits your hair type
This is the most annoying thing ever. I've had people question my hair when its in it's natural state and when straight. Then when I say YES... the next thing is "can I touch it!" No I'm not a pet wtf?🙄
I don't mind people touching my hair. All our hair feels differently too. No two afros feel the same even in the same family!
I get that as well when I were my afro out so does my daughter.
@Lottie's Sweettooth you seem unstable.
💯YOU DO NEED TO BE CAREFUL LETTING PEOPLE TOUCH YOUR HAIR IT IS SOME PEOPLE THAT IS NOT VERY NICE I HEARD OF PEOPLE LETTING PEOPLE TOUCH THEIR HAIR AND IT FEEL OUT BE CAREFUL YOU NEVER KNOW 🙃💯
I agree. We are not a Science project either.
I love these tips! I literally use these tips before watching this. You ain't tell one lie. Simplicity is key 🔑
Thanks girl, you’re so right about that.
This is the most real hair growth video i’ve seen all those tips work i’ve seen more hair growth in two years and seen amazing results
You should never have to prove yourself! No matter what people say ok? It's either they believe you or they don't! Thank you for coming on here and speaking your truth. If people don't like it or believe you they should keep it moving! I'm on a hair journey and this is major inspo for me, thank you!
I appreciate that so much 🙏🏾🌸🌸💖
Thank you!!
Such a sweet lady! Love the hair and those tips are soooo TRUE!! I grew my daughter hair waist length at 3 years old doing what she’s saying! Too cheap to buy all those products so I make my own!
That is the most important information not a special oil but good habits.💕💕💕💕
Right, thank you 🙏🏾🌸💖
No matter how much I hear the same tips from from different youtubers IT NEVER GETS OLD! LOL
If I could get away with it, I’d trim my hair once or twice a year. It’s just these single strand knots are the devil 😩
I feel you sis 😩
No lie they are something else 🥺
Mine are getting out of control. Lots of knots
SAME! I have so so many even though I do everything I’m supposed to do🥺🥺
I struggle from them too. You may have to change your products. They’re not giving you the moisture you need if you’re still getting them.
your hair is soooo gorgeous! It's so amazing how us black women can grow our own hair and it comes out beautiful and is more satisfying because it's our own hair! Watching natural youtubers as a young girl 13/14 years old really inspired me on my hair journey and gave me hope that if these girls can do it, I can do it too. I transitioned with braids and cut my dead relaxed ends off. I couldn't believe a full, thick head of hair was hiding in my scalp 😆.
I hope my short message encourages someone.
God bless you!
Your hair looks so healthy and beautiful! I think some people don't like to acknowledge that many black women have healthy long natural hair because they and people around them don't know how to do it and it makes them feel some type of way. That's why so many people forgot to breathe when Beyonce showed off her long hair that one time 🙄😂
It’s because chemical break it off I believe there’s a part of genetic most important oil bath
👌
People forget Bey is mixed.
Her mom has strong non black genes
@@latonyahill8950 she's not mixed her dad is 100% black and her mom is creole from Louisiana. Alicia Keys, Meghan Markle or Barrack Obama, Drake are mixed. You'll notice that one of their parent is 100% black and the other is 100% white, which is not Beyonce's case. However she's a multimillionaire married to a billionaire so she can benefit from the knowledge and care of the best professional in the world, she can literally pay to have someone wash her hair, someone else to dry it and a third party to style it if she wanted to...so I'm sure that helps immensely. I'll give you that
She is mixed. Her mother has strong non black genes. Certain Creole have European in them. Look it up.
Look at her mom. Again I say very strong non black features.
Wow, even with the color it looks super healthy. Beautiful!
I LOVE your accent, It sounds like your from Angola or Latin America! I can hear you talk all day!!!!
She is liberian nigerian beautiful accent indeed
Where do you hear the Latina America lolololol
@@maroonhorizon1693 did you know that Latin American include an array of languages and accents, namely Portuguese, which is a language spoken in Africa, particularly Angola, hence why I mentioned Latin American?!
Agree
Thank you, Ms Ziya 💐 I’ve learned to ‘dust’ my thin, fragile hair. ‘Dusting’ removes fairy knots, split ends & damaged strands, but NOT length.
I don't trim my hair, period!!!
What I do is pay attention to the roots as much as I do the ends. I moisturise and treat and keep them in protective style.
My hair is long!!!!
Great advice! Best thing that happened to my hair in recent years has been the COVID lockdown. My weekly hair appointments included color, blow dry, flat ironing and monthly trims. But in lockdown I’ve stopped going to my hairdresser. For the past year, I’ve only trimmed my hair once, roller set my hair using low heat, let my grey roots grow out and my hair has already grown down to my lower arm pits. You are right that white and Asian women get shocked when black women have long and lush hair. When I was younger, I sometimes had non black women follow me to the ladies room and confess that they had to see because they couldn’t believe my hair was real! Glad to get back to taking care of it myself! Just because you have money doesn’t mean that some self maintenance isn’t in order. Your advice is spot on, I’m not certain though about the double condition. Some of us with thinner hair and looser curls might find their hair getting oily too quickly. You have gorgeous hair, it’s obviously working for you!
I had my first baby at 32 and baby girl came out with a almost 3 inch fro, no lie. I literally big cropped my bra length hair to 3 inches long just to figure out how to take care of her natural hair. Now my baby girl is 4 Years Old and her hair is waist length. I'm sub'in cuz I need the help with maintaining her hair. Your hair is loving what your doing. Keep up the great work. 🥰
This girl is telling the truth all the way around everybody let's applaud her!👍👏💯
Honestly you can look at your hair an tell it’s real. So pretty!
Beautiful young lady. Females used to ask me what type of weave is that - my response was it’s mine sis but what worked for me was braids.. cornrows and leave it alone for months. Wash and redo all year got it mid way my back. These are my hair goals!
You entruly blessed with thick hair, not all of us have that beautiful hair.
Yes I'm trying to get my hair healthy.
Great video
Thank you so much, I appreciate it 🙏🏾💖
Ms. Ziya - Ask me anything you want - - As Long As It’s Hair Related! 🌟💜🌟 I Felt That 🤩
Lol
Thank you 😇🌼💖🌸
I love this video! A very honest, straightforward approach to haircare. I have been following pretty much the same routine for the past year and my hair has grown so much!
New subscriber 👌🏾
Love seeing all the positive comments. Everything she said is so true, it took me 40+ years to finally get my natural hair back to the way it was as a child, now that hairline of mine is still a work in progress...lol...but as she says, no matter what race, our hair needs and thrives on moisture moisture moisture!!! Thank you so much for the video gorgeous🙆🏽♀️ #HairGrowthGoals.
Hi young Lady I just want to thank you I feel relax and now I understand I’m a older lady and I still want my hair to grow but thank you again
Appreciate it. Listing the products you use in the suggestion box always can help, when viewers can't see the names of the containers you show in your presentation.
Love how you talk ❤️ I’m definitely gonna take your advice
Thank you Beautiful, I appreciate that 🌸💖
Very soothing voice.
Thank you so much for telling the truth about hair growth. I trust your method any day. It doesn't happen over night......
Your hair is 😍 I would love to see a tutorial of you stretching your hair.
Thank you 😊 🌼✨
That’s a cool idea, I’ll probably do that soon.
Your hair is so pretty it looks like a wig! Is so thick. I love it. I trim only once 3 to 6 months. I use henna for my color for sure. It makes my hair shine.great tips
Thank you so much 💖🌼
Henna is great. some people say it moisturizes their hair and others say it dries their hair out,
Personally I like it.
Best thing I’ve heard... “keep it simple” and be patient. 😊
i was so happy to see her hold up the same oil that i use on my hair , i feel like i’m actually doing something right for once 😭
I just chopped off my hair bc albeit it long and natural I put a lot of heat on it during the heart of the pandemic ... My hair was falling out I’ve had bald spots and on 2/7 I shaved it all I’m going to be patient and let it happen ... thanks for sharing
Best advice I've heard about natural hair! Most people telling you to use like 10 products. Thank You!
I'm so tired of ppl thinking we can't grow hair! I started my dreadlocks 2 yrs ago, my hair isn't even that long yet. However ppl ask me all the time if this is my real hair, even the guy I'm dating thought this wasn't "all" my real hair. I have never had a problem with hair growth, I would just always do things, that caused me to lose length.
U need more likes. Too real. Appreciate your honesty💯
Me personally. I just wash my hair once a week. Condition it. I use a wide tooth comb. And through out the week I don’t comb it or nothin. I just run my fingers through it. The less I comb the longer my hair gets
You deserve a lot of follows girl
Girl I literally just found you so thank you so much for talking about the relaxed hair, 👏🏾
I have relaxed and people almost made me feel like I was crazy 🤣🤷🏽♀️
I cringed when you showed your hair is real but I understood why you thought it was necessary😭 Great tips, gorgeous💕
This is great...I will follow the cutting my hair once a year to see where my growth lands. If need be no more than 2 trims yearly. Thanks!
Totally, and after an extended period of growth you can decide to cut it when you’re ready.
Thanks for the video. Especially the part about not having to buy a ton of expensive products.
Thx 4 the tips! Your hair is gorgeous!
Thank you so much 💖
Last month was my first time trimming my hair in two years because I mostly wear my hair natural. My hair is the same length as hers and it looks healthy after trimming.
Beautiful hair. I cut off my locks that were pass my shoulder. I am now growing it back without locks.
Thank you.
A big chop feels like a whole new life.
You should totally take pictures to remember this time. I wish I had more
Might take away is if you're home alone there's no need to manipulate your hair just let it be... Also I'll start looking at food that I have in the kitchen that I just throw away that I could multi-purpose for my hair (like honey, avocado and olive oil) and use in a healthy way. By the way, those ingredients work wonders for my hair. Thanks for the tips!❤
You don’t have to prove anything you are beautiful and your hair is beautiful great video sis ❤️
Oh my am one of those that subscribed to trim every month. I think this is why I don’t see much growth. Thanks for this video big thumbs up 👌❤️
I've always had long hair growing up, I was around 15 when my mom relaxed my hair but I was still retaining length. When I got older I went to this salon to get a wash and set and the girl there was supposed to just give me a trim, y'all she cut so much of my hair off. I was so upset and haven't been back to a salon, I only go now to a family friend who owns her own salon and she braids my hair for a protective style. Definitely trying to grow my hair back to where it once was. Love your tips!!!
I'm about 4 inches from tailbone length hair and I keep one style. I plait it and fold it back and leave it alone. Every now and then on a special occasion I wear my hair out, but other than that it stays tucked away. I have nothing to prove to anybody. If they think I'm bald who cares.. I know the truth 😌
You remind me a bit of that actress Reagan Gomez-Preston.
She’s beautiful, thank you 🌸🌼
Yess!!

Shes latinx too

Gorgeous healthy hair😍
I love the fullness and volume.
Thank you so much 🥺🌸💖
I remember 10 years ago at my old job I started wearing my own hair instead of sew ins. Everyone was asking is that your real hair or they would randomly touch my scalp not hair 😒. Black girls/women can have long hair even 4c types like myself. Now I wear wigs just because I can keep my hair braided and less manipulation and I have scalp eczema but that’s a whole other topic.
I tell people the same thing twice a year every six months lol❤️✊🌺 when you cut your hair every month you're cutting what's growing especially if you try to cut your hair more than two in your hair only grows a half an inch a month. 🌺And sometimes it can grow more than that depending upon what you do during that month.🌺 There's a time where I literally grew my hair 4 to 5 inches in two and a half monthsbecause of the products that I'm making use. Like she said, cut your hair once or twice a year and that's enough twice as the max and you will see the growth even more
Your hair is soo gorgeous! I know what your saying is true! Because my hair has started growing down my back! I’m stumbled across these tips on my own.... I haven’t used heat at all in my hair for a year in a half! I wash and condition and deep condition once a week in a half! I seal the ends with oil and I massage my scalp with oil and plait hair up. Put a satin cap on to sleep. When I go out, I wear cute turbans.Thanks for your confirmation and inspiration! I know I’m on the right path!
Do mind sharing the list of products you showed. It was hard to see the names of everything? Thank you for sharing your tips the only thing I would add is drinking alot of water. Great video.
These are some of the tips I live by. I have a few things that gave me extra growth but I'm now at Tailbone Length and so are my children (or longer). This is a great video!
As a cosmetologist, i do not recommend you NOT trimming your ends every 6-8 weeks, UNLESS you only use heat once or twice a year. Split ends are not cute and you'll eventually NEED a cut....a trim would no longer be efficient. Other than that, these are some good tips. Learn your hair & what it likes. Happy healthy hair journey Luv Bugs🥰
I love your color; it's so warm! Color weakens my high-porosity hair, but I love a good color on others.
Thank you!
I have vowed that my current hair will be the shortest my children will ever see me in in pictures....
Your hair is beautiful.
Well done.
Awesome advice! We have to learn what our hair likes, keep it simple and have a routine that’s what has helped me most 💙
Totally agree 🌸💖🌼
Great video! I love your hair. I'm in faux locs now, extensions but in March when they come out I'm def doing a length check. Trimming my hair less frequently really made the difference. I agree with you on that! You're very beautiful!
Thank you so much 🥺🌸💖
I really wanna try faux locs too omg
@@Msziya you definitely sbould!!
Loved this video, it doesn’t mean you hate yourself because you get a perm 😂
