The length is nice but that density, whoooo chile!!
And u can only achieve that density by genetics smh
Yes yes yes even when my hair was it’s healthiest I didn’t have this density
I had so much hair they were constantly thinning it with thinning shears, and now you can see my scalp from every angle. The years aren’t always kind, lol.
I need that density. I have length (when stretched), but no density whatsoever 😩😩😩
@@Shalayah2010 Yes. But i will get that length one day, we all can. My hair id real fine, I will never have that density of hair bless her. I'm not gone beg for something I know I'm not gone want to keep up. I use to hate my thin fine hair, but now i am embracing it.
NOTES:
1. Clarify your scalp regularly (Naptural85 cleanses once a week) Don't wait longer than 2 weeks
2. Truly moisturize your hair regularly. Oils, Aloe Vera, Water and a sealing butter. Don't just use oil
3. Get trims. Some people like to schedule regular trips. Naptural85 only trims when she sees split ends
4a. Try to do gentle styling. Limit hairstyles that stress the root such as a slick ponytail and slicked back looks. Be careful of what accessories you're using in your hair.
4b. Take your time and detangle
4c. Make sure you are in a good mood when you are detangling
5. Use protective style. Don't just leave it, make sure your hair is styled gently
6. Keep hair stretched. Such as twist and braid outs. Shrunken hair from wash and gos can cause more wear and tear.
7. Choose healthy hair products. Reach for products that are better for your hair
8a. Drink more water and less sugary drinks. Even if the sugar is healthy, you should limit the sugar. Drinking a lot of caffeine is BAD for hair growth
8b. Be careful with the alcohol that you're drinking
9. EXERCISE! It get's the blood flowing and pumping through your body. It works similar to the inversion method and massaging your scalp.

Thanks sis
You are a time saver😘😘😘
Thanks
h a i r f a r e thanks
She has Aloe Vera plants growing under her hair care products !? How clever ! Such a vibe 🤟🏾✨🌱
Agreed
💯💯💯💯❤👌🏽
That's a painting I thought it was too but I squinted lol
@@QueenIZA it's not a painting. I think she said it was an agave plant, but honestly I can't remember
@@alex1462 it looks like an aloe plant.
I wish she could just take care of my hair for me 😂
Exactly but her daughter hair is going to be popping
Me too
Right I get so lazy and give up to easily 😂
If she has a daughter she’s gonna be so lucky
Me to
I have no problem with hair growth it’s maintaining my length 😫😫
same! 🙃
Me too girl
Me too!
KITTEN MAYZ yeah that sounds about right
Same! My hair grows like a weed but idk how to keep it 😭😭😭
Literally the only natural hair vlogger that I trust. 5 years ago, I started at shoulder length and am now at waist length natural hair with the help of your videos, product recommendations, DIY’s and tips. Thanks for everything. 🌞
Wow!
What were the main things you did.
Same for me big chopped 4 years ago and her tips helped me get to waist length!
This is a testimony sis!!! Yaaassss!!! Amazing! Faithful God!!
Wow girl awesome! My hair is still the same length 😩. Just realized my beautician was trimming off more than she said she would.
I loved when you said you do your wash and go as a treat. Some other natural hair youtubers say they straighten their hair as a treat as if straight hair is reserved for special occasions. Our natural hair should be what is showcased with pride on special occasions
When I get married it will be in natural hair
ua-cam.com/video/fnSDU6vnwLE/v-deo.html
Washing my hair once a week just sounds like the biggest task eeeeevvveerrrr😩
Right! I'm gonna start with every two weeks then work my way up to every week.
Girl yes!! My hair is a struggle 😭😭😭
I wash my hair every day
Co wash every week and wash it with shampoo every other week.
That’s what I do
I just hate to feel water run down my face and neck from my head yucky my daughter hated this from age 2 or 3😥
If I’m taking hair advice from anyone...it’s you lol
Yes!
K same thing I said lol she knows what she’s talking about
K EXACTLY!!! Lol
💯 lol‼️
Yes and yes
Hey Guys! Let’s first address the elephant in the room... I look like an Oompa Loompa I KNOW!!! 😩😭😭😭 I tried a NEW foundation and well... Issa HELL Nah! 💯 But I didn’t want to re-film so I hope you enjoy! Annnnd... I’ll see you in the comments 🤣🤣😘❤️
Lol I didn't even notice. I was watching your hair 🤣🤣
It doesn’t look that bad it’s not really noticeable on camera and this is coming from a meticulous person.
Thanks for
Sharing your tips! We love not only your hair but what you represent! Whitney Please consider connecting with me in the near future. 💓
Makeup? What makeup, all I saw was hair talking
Girl that makeup looks gr8! What you talkn bout Willis??? Lol😂!
I really th8nk it looks gr8.
Girl, I’ve been watching your videos since you had a TWA. You were the only one on UA-cam at that time that had 4 type hair so I’m so happy to see your growth on your journey. You’re an OG hairspiration
I braid my hair and wash every 2 to 3 weeks. Once a week I take out each braid spray it with water and put my moisturizer then rebraid. I use my comb/brush to take out the build up, and my hair grows really well with this method. Maybe it may work for someone else. 🙂
I'm definitely going to try this! I keep my hair braided underneath my wig and it gets so dry that by the time that I do go to take it down, it's breaking off at the ends.
I stopped watching the video and just took your comment
Thanks. Kind of what I'm doing with my mini braids. I'm going try to keep it up all year.
Do you wash with the braid in
@@munamako9206
Yes i wash my hair with the braids in, paying close attention to the scalp, then i put my leave in conditioner, the next day i take out one braid at a time, spritz with water put some moisturizer amd rebraid. I have a child so i dont have time to take out all my braids at once. This way i can do the braids throughout the day. Hope this helps 🙂
De-stress. Set good intentions and good vibes. THEN detangle. Noted.
V MD 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯 YAS girl! And in THAT order too! 😂😂😆😘😘😘🥰❤️
& that’s how I convinced myself it’s okay to spend money on Uber eats cause I’m getting in a vibe to detangle my hair lmaoo 🥺😂
can't relate, father just passed, going through stress, and have alopecia ....
Pray for me guys
I pray that God brings you and your family needs at this time.
Try drinking smoothies with seeds in it (e.g. chia, flax, hemp). It helps.
BluDrop5 Thankyou really appreciate it😖
💖💖💖🙏
Aweee peace be upon you from Jesus...not as the world gives...i speak peace upon you. God bless!!
i will ❤️❤️❤️
1. Wash your hair/scalp. AGREED. After cowashing for 1.5 yrs, I've decided to go back to frequently cleaning my scalp due to the itch and hairbreakage ive experience.
2. Moisturizing. 😒Yes, oil is not enough. I've learned the hard way it just sits on top and get all over my pillows and wraps instead of my hair where it needs to be. Going back to leave-ins.
3. Trim. Nope. I do not apply any heat whatsoever so skipping.
4. Gentle styling. YEP! My scalp gets sore from all the tugging/pulling from the ponies causing breakage from the root.
5. That wide tooth Comb. I had 3 and i wasn't using them. Shamw on me. Finger detangling is always a must now that i know how to do it properly with conditioners before washing.
6.Healthy Products. Agreed 1000% A lot of these "natural" products still have the same toxic chemicals we're all trying to avoid. Same pig different lipstic. Switching to products from bak in the day.
Okay, thank you.
Epiphanie Always you dont need heat to trim. I trim my hair after stretching it (with no heat).
You can trim with twists. It's actually easier than trimming with your hair straight. Trims are needed, those dead ends will unravel and effect the healthy hair
@@krystale16vanessa exactly why i haven't applied heat to my hair in 3yrs.
I noticed that since I switched over to more natural products my hair grows healthier and faster.
who else needed to see this video and is struggling with breakage🙋🏽♀️😩
@@goddess-pf9tf Are you doing anything to help with the breakage? I want to try more protective styles because I'm def losing too much hair with my wash-n-goes
ThatPerson I’ll def try that.. I’m tired of the breakage so I gotta try something new 💪🏽thanks
Yeah my upper left quadrant is falling has breakage and I'm not cutting it again so I needed these tips!
It's a struggle for 😫😫😫
kapparhotau181 yes!! That’s why imma really put in extra effort to strengthen my hair..💪🏽 I’ll be posting a few of the hair grow treatments that I’ll be trying.. if you’re interested check them out ❤️
Whitney, you and mahogony curls were the only ones on youtube when I started my journey in 2011, you are still awesome!! I now have hip length healthy natural hair and I will continue to do whatever you say LOL
s thomas congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾 on the length and the healthy hair journey girl!!!!!
I big chocked in Aug2014 and I am currently 7” away from hip/below butt cheek length (🤭😄). It has been a strange journey for me, because my hair doesn’t like most retail hair care products (my hair feels crunchy afterwards and they all make me itch really bad) so my scalp is always inflamed, but I think some of Whitney’s advice will help a lot. Especially the less sugar part lol.
Where's the picture to show us
@@cindyking7229 "social media in general spooks me out slightly so I dont have personal pics on anything, but for real, everything whitney is saying is gold, its all great advice. If she did not have her setbacks with the color/cut, her hair might be down to her knees!!
Right?! I loved Whit's and mahogany's video updated
s thomas yes I remember looking at all their videos before I did the big chop. They are definitely the real MVPs
Your insight to natural hair care is timeless...I mean, I could come back 2-5 years from now (& beyond that!) & still find this video helpful to maintaining my hair health. Putting it simply: this is good stuff lol. Thank you Whitney!!! ❤️
I've been doing more twist and braid outs and noticed my hair retaining more length and moisture. Thanks for this video!👍🏾💖
Congrats on 1 million subscribers! All these tips are great.
Thank you so much Kate Azu !! I’m so happy you found the tips helpful! 🥰❤️❤️

Same, I only trust Whitney. If she pitches something imma try it 🤣. But she actually has demonstrated products and has the hair growth to show it! 💕
@@Naptural85 What kinda plant is that it's beautiful?
@@aceboogie1439 aloe vera plant
Love this video. Especially the “lower your sugar” and “drink more water” talk! I switched to monk fruit, stevia and erythritol about a year ago and wow .... not only have I lost a ton of weight, but my hair and skin are flourishing!
@UCQFe9O9SZNdXd0x_VnVirIA I am! And I'm never going back! Taking your health into your own hands is life changing when you have the knowledge!
I have to try monk fruit. I have been scared of the name 😂
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Same! I went on a keto diet after I had my daughter to help lose weight and not only did I lose weight (over 60lbs!) but my skin and hair flourished like I put some magical spell on myself.
Thank you for doing an updated video on this because your hair is growing like Rapunzel and for years and years I have trusted you 100%. You always give great advice and my hair is so much healthier because of you! God bless you sistah❤️🤗🙏🏿🙌🏿
Finally started seriously trying to grow my hair out and it's been 10 months now and my hair has grown so much I was even surprised. Keep sending tips. Bless.
Everything is a chemical. The difference is between naturally occurring and synthetic. Just like Whitney said, not everything natural is good and chemical doesn't equal bad
True but most chemicals have very bad side effects down the line
@@keshahunt1476 No, it's only the overly processed chemicals that are bad. Even things like water and baking soda are made up of chemicals.
@@keshahunt1476 everything is chemicals. Everything you are made of is chemicals. Your blood is a solution of different chemicals inside of other chemicals.
Thank you, I’ve always hated this new trend of hating “chemicals”. Everything is chemicals!
your first 10 tips was the video that made me go natural 🖤🖤🖤 I've watched it dozens of times
😩🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m so happy that it helped Sanaa Jade !! 🥰🥰😘❤️
I love wash n gos but I finally realized that I got single strand knots and my hair would dry out which made me add more and more products on my fine high porosity medium density hair so sadly I had to stop wearing them. So I now realize the two strand twist is my best option for my hair to grow longer. I'm at bra strap length when stretched and ironed out. Being natural is definitely about trial and error when it comes to styles and product's
Thank you for making this video! I just had my hair straightened and trimmed cause my hair wasn’t feeling great so these tips will help me get back on track with growing healthy, long 4C hair and truly take care of my hair that I’m blessed to have internally and externally.
Wash and go is what I usually do but wearing a bonnet everyday has made a difference in it not drying out as much.
I used to do wash and gos ALL THE TIME and so much of my hair broke off. Wearing stretched styles really makes a difference.
How often did you redo your wash and go?
GrowingDryTightlyCoiledNaturalHairWithGwyn
I did it nearly every day. My hair was shoulder blade length stretched. I’d do a wash and go and it would shrink to right above my shoulders or shorter. I just flat out stopped doing twist outs and wore wash and go’s for like 9-10 months and my hair gradually broke off. The coils would tangle, I noticed a lot more single strand knots. And my hair was brushing up on everything. That was back in 2016 and my hair still hasn’t fully recovered just yet. Wash and go’s have to be a “sometimes” style for me.
GrowingDryTightlyCoiledNaturalHairWithGwyn i know you didnt ask me but i redo my wash n goes every 5 days or so and i never allow my hair to get dry... i also stretch my hair and i get less ssks
@@beaubeauknows3620 You never let your hair dry? Are you not scared of hygral fatigue or over moisturized hair?
HiThereLindsey washing and redoing hair after 5 days or so wont lead to hydral fatigue... deep conditioning too much and washing daily can... what i mean is by day 7 my hair is super dried out so instead of replenishing moisture when its gone i find its best to try to just maintain the moisture. By the time you hair is dried out its even more prone to breakage... i also incorporate protein deep conditioners monthly.
No advertising just plain and clear hair tips at no cost! Yes!
Watched this again just to confirm that I’ve been on the right track. I have been doing all of these things for over a year, and my hair has been growing out very, very well! These tips truly do work! I’ve learned so much from you over the years and my hair has become better because of it!
Why. Are. You. Sooooooo. Effinn. Helpful!!😩😩😩😩you legit have changed my hair game in ways that I never knew. People think Im a hair guru, I be talking all edumacated😂😂😂I tell em hit that subscribe button and get with the Whitgram✊🏾😂thanks for all the time you put in2 the game!!!

@@farmerjones5479 qqqqiiuo
Great tips!! You look amazing, can't tell that you used a different foundation
Theses are the most loyal comments lol I had to subscribe to & following all these tips now ! Thanks ! ❤️
Thank you SO much for what you've mentioned. I've never done a wash and go because I've learned my hair grows best when stretched 🤷🏽♀️. Twistouts have always helped in retaining my length. Also, the protective styling point is so KEY to growth. There are some people who really don't believe in doing it but it is seriously a major component in natural hair growth. There's no magic product/method in growing healthy hair --it's all about good practices!
i love the way twist outs look but i work out a lot and they were not workout friendly for me :(
This video made me realize all the ways i've been slacking with my hair lol. Like ripping through it, waiting until it's on it's LAST breathe before moisturizing, skimping on washing 😩 Thank you for the tips girl. No more slacking
You where one of the first UA-camrs I watched for natural hair when I went natural year's ago. I may one day decided to pay attention and work on retaining length. Your hair has flourished tremendously❤ and it's always been gorgeous , Thank you for sharing your journey.
That keeping your hair stretched tip 👐🏽 definitely can relate and will use this tip in my regime. I have really tight coils so I feel I needed to hear this. Thank you Whitney 💕
You said It! A lot of ppl think just bc they have braids and get a wig or sew in for however long that it’s an automatic “protective style”
Love Jojoba www.lovejojoba.com has amazing Jojoba Oil and its USDA certified organic!
Much needed!!! I’m still struggling with growing out my hair
Hey Tyenah Gilmore 😘😘😘 I’m so happy to share! I hope the tips help! ❤️❤️❤️
Same
whew! I'm not alone.
Windlilly Lawson Girl I’ve been struggling for the longest, it won’t grow past a current length. Idk what I’m doing wrong
Perhaps you can check out scalp massages and ayurvedic oils.
Edit: Nevermind she already mentioned it 😂
I am so in love with your hair! OMG it’s so beautiful. Kudos to you for having the patience and tenderness to get it to where it’s at.
First off Whitney I love you and your call to action for the natural hair, brown skin babes❤️! I finally officially went natural 2 years ago by doing the big chop. I made several attempts prior to and would get so frustrated that I’d call it quits and go back to the creamy crack😫🤦🏾♀️. After many failed attempts I decided I’d do my homework and learn about natural hair products. I watched hundreds of videos and stumbled across your channel🙌🏾! Huntie I had to grab a notebook.....to hell with a piece of paper. I learned so much from you and I thank you so much. I tried everything you recommended and used it until I figured out how it worked with my hair. You are a godsend. Since my journey many of my family and friends have now gone natural and they are loving the journey. What I love most about you is that you educate us on how to fall in love with the strands we have not the ones you have❤️. I now love my texture which I once hated especially as a child😢. I love how healthy my hair is now. I love this video because I get the same question as you....how did you grow your hair so fast? They don’t understand lol. Now I can send them to this video! Thanks again. Love & blessings😘
Whitney...I cant believe I have had my Melanin for almost six months now....used in two heads...and I still have product left!!🤯 thank you so much for such a wonderful line that does work in multiple curl typed!!!!🥰🙋♀️
T. Thomas that’s wonderful ppl had the nerve to complain about the price but she gave us so much quality product in that jar
Yess I still have her cream. Moistureeee for days 🥰🥰
@@mwahtiag5341 So true!!!! That much product for that price is unheard of. Most of these natural hair companies giving us that small 4 and 8 ozs for that price. Melanin price is a steal annnnnnd the products are bomb🙌
@@SunQueen365 i think it's the shipping price that's hard..$10 shipping so $26 altogether. I have 5 kids i can't afford that
@@peachy_reina Sis I totally understand. I have mouths to feed also. But honestly, the cream lasts a long time.
I apply ALL your tips and my hair actually grows ^^
I always wear twists for 1 week and a half, and twist out for 2 days then I wash it
I have been growing my hair out for about 3 months and I have just been keeping my hair in cornrows and washing it about twice a month and this has REALLY been helping my hair grow and RETAIN LENGTH. what's important is that I keep my ends moisturized and just about twice a day I moisturize the ends with shea butter and water. I oil my scalp just about every other day and when I just feel my hair needs it, I spray my hair with water.
Do u take it out and redo when washing?
@@klam9932 Kinda, yeah. My wash days are only about two to three times a month and right after washing and air drying I braid my hair up again. I don't wash my hair when it braids but will put my head under the water from time to time just for a quick second. That's just what my hair likes.
Your hair looks so amazing, Whitney wow. You truly are the twist out queen. 👑😍😍😍
When you release your shampoo, conditioner and/or styler, you should sell your phrase No Strand Left Behind on a shirt. Kind of like u did with the melanin visor and scarf that I keep forgetting to order.
You are so right about the wash and go!! I find my hair is drier and gets more knotted in a wash and go state. I now limit my wash and go's as I like the style, but keep my hair stretched most of the time.
I really needed this advice. I’ve been doing nothing but wash-n-gos for a full year thinking I was doing my type 4 hair some good but I’ve noticed that I have sooo many single strand knots. I contemplated stretching my hair but was concerned about causing more stress to my strands. So I’m glad you took the time to provide us with this information bc I really needed it. Thank you for this video.
It's crazy how you can't use coconut oil any longer when you could years ago! Love all your tips though. Natural hair is a lifestyle change that we have to embrace fully and your tips are great.
No strands left behind 😂 Whit let me know when u make the shirts. I'll be ready to pre order
Hey Whitney 👋. I freaking love you ❤️ and I have been following your channels since the beginning of my Natural Hair journey for almost 7 years. I'm a cosmetologist who specializes in Natural Haircare. Just want to say that on average no matter what hair type or race, everyone's hair begins to split every 3months. So it's best to trim ⅛ of an inch or less (assuming that's the only damage they have) just as it's starting to split. At the end of the year clients retain more length than when they wait longer than 3months. So that's 4 trims a year or 1 trim a season. This eliminated a ton of problems including excessive shedding/ tangling/ dryness/knots and keeps a cute shape. However that is the average recommendation. I believe your hair is stronger than most and can go longer without a trim. Some people need them a little sooner. I just wanted to explain the reason for scheduling trims as you mentioned in your video. I'm so thankful for all that you do for the natural hair community and will definitely be purchasing some of your products. Love ya, stay true. 🤗😉
I'm glad you pointed out not being negative while doing your hair also I feel secure when someone else is doing my hair that they're not angry or distracted in a negative way because I feel like my hair won't grow or be in a better State once that style is taken out!💜👑💥
I completely agree with all that you said... especially “ keep your hair stretched”. I love to wear my hair curly , but I don’t wear it often anymore. It was a hard lesson learned for me. I used to assume wearing my hair curly/natural was automatically healthier for my hair but would notice that I seemed to shed more hair and my ends seemed thinner when I would straighten after a curly period. It seemed like my hair was healthier when I was blow drying and flat ironing it ( which seemed like a crazy idea to me). While, I doubt the flat iron was doing any good for my hair, I’ve found my happy medium by still blow drying my hair once a week. Thanks for the video! I just posted my first 2 UA-cam videos. Yay! It’s been a long time coming... happy I finally made the plunge 😊
She's right about alepecia. I suffer from it because of a high stress level. Losing your hair in clumps is very sobering and scary. I had to check and change what was making me stressed out and now my hair is growing back! Its a slow process but, Im glad that my hair is coming back. Hopefully, I will be able to loc my hair again.
Ms. Zaneta You just gave me hope, my hair started falling out due to stress a while ago and it’s still affecting me but I’m working on my stress and anxiety and it’s slowly growing back, SLOWLY but surely 😃
Alopecia*
I had severe alopecia and come to find out that I have Hashimoto thyroiditis that was causing my hair loss (hypothyroidism). So girls, get your hormones checked.
A friend of mine introduced me to Relora. All natural , effective.
@@itzurgurlElenore what is that? I never heard of it.
I love how thorough you are. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING QUALITY HAIR CARE CONTENT OUT THERE! Love you!
Avaleen Morris Reid XOXOXO!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you so much for your support Avaleen! I’m happy that it helps! ❤️❤️❤️
YASS finally! Ion trust none of these new lil UA-camrs saying all the same stuff and recycling content that you been posted years ago. I needed this cuz my hair ain’t that long after 4 years sis 😩
I grew my hair fast mainly by moisturizing it (my hair is over 22 inches long :). I just made my first UA-cam video stating how important moisture is. Great advice.
What products do you use? Do you also use aloe vera?
Seriously, you must be psychic because again I really needed this video. Thank you Whitney!!! ❤❤
The Lady Shy XOXO!! ☺️☺️ So happy to help!! 😘😘😘❤️
This twist out is just beautiful and I love that you let your silver strands be. ❤️ I’m a new natural (8 months) so I appreciate this type of credible knowledge.
Ty so much for this! I’m watching this at 2am and I literally got up to drink water and eat some broccoli lol 😂
😂😂
😂
🤣🤣
"Make sure you're not pissed off while doing your hair"...yeah.... I had mid-back length hair....a few months ago, I was mad, decided to wash and detangle my hair, got frustrated while detangling and big chopped... probably should've waited an extra day to do my hair 😒
Yes! Thank you Whit!! I’ve been riding since the beginning, I loved watching you ups and downs with your hair, it’s so realistic!
I see what you did there 😃 👀 👀 with the new background and the plant. Lighting looks good even with you not sitting on the floor in front of the window.
Hey whitney! The wash n go tip was just what I needed to hear! I, too, fell in love with my texture years ago. I wear my wash and go on a regular basis (usually slicked into a low ponytail or high bun, if not out). I noticed my growth has pretty much plateaued. I guess I got lazy. Thanks for the tips! Keep doing what you're doing!
I take my tips from you and share with others. The pre-poo with the aloe Vera and the DIY Oil is a staple to my wash day. I’ve been doing that since January, and my hair has been loving it ever since. So thankful the Lord lead me to your channel!!!! Keep the videos coming!!! They are helping so many of us!!! And, Congratulations on 1M subscribers!!! You deserve it.
Your makeup is so pretty.
Your tips have always been so helpful so I know I need to save this under my Favorites.
Because I know I will always refer back to this video.
I love that you admited thst you liked the twist outs because it looked more like a relaxer. We have to admit that it takes time to get accustomed to the look of our hair
I glad to see you again. I know this video is older but I am praying and hoping you and your family are well.
I’m so excited, I’m cutting salons out of my routine unless I want professional elegant styling most likely for special occasions because I feel like they damage my hair when they detangle before and during my washes. I’ve bought my revair so now my hair will be constantly stretched out and I will be trimming my ends and paying attention for split ends and knots to trim them every wash for 2 weeks to one week. I love your videos
Yess Whit I’m living for your hair in this video 😍😍
Love love love your videos !! U were the FIRST PERSON I STARTED WATCHING ON UA-cam. I went Natural in 2006, then relaxed then went back in 2009 as well!! Best choice I ever made. I wish I would have been making videos, 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️didn’t even realize what like you, I was doing would be the popular thing to do and could get paid🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️!! So proud of u sis!! Your line of products are PHENOMENAL!!! God bless you !
Excited about an update! I've been a FAN since that first video :-)
Thank u. Love the updated tips. I started my hair Journey with you 4 1/2 years ago and I trust you!
Wow I’ve been following u at least 5 plus years!!! Time has flown by. Learned so much from u!!! Hair looks fabulous
My hair has never felt so moisturized until I started using Melanin Haircare Products. I can’t wait until your product lines grows even more!! I’m dealing a lot with breakage in my crown so I’ve been super religious with your hair advice and my hair is definitely healthier from root to ends!
One thing you said that I had just started to do is wear my hair stretched. It is so true, no heat and more moisture is working very well. Thanks for all your tips.
OMG I’ve noticed a huge difference when I exercise for my hair growth it makes a huge difference
I am fighting the urge to perm my hair. I need all the advice I can get .
Silk press make sure you use heat protection
Fight the urge 🙏
Lol I did that and my hair broke off a lot after a while. I am officially done with that and big chopping
@A O K I permed in 2009. It Broke. I grew it out . Then big chopped grew it out again. It felt thinner and The protective styles ruined my edges. Then I big chopped again in 2016. And I am still growing it out. But it breaks and it is uneven and thin.
Noire Knight I would change products. What’s your current routine?
Yes loved all the advice!!! Washing your hair regularly is so important, I was trying the co-washing thing and only shampooing my hair once a month but my hair was in the worst shape of my life, falling out, but my hair stylist said “do you only wash your face once a month, “no” “exactly”!!!
I like that you included the stretched hair tip. Although I love my natural pattern, it gets dry and tangled very quickly. I would have to wet my hair and add product everyday to keep it nice, but stretched out hair like twists outs definitely last longer and stay moisturized. Less tangling. Thanks!
Thank you for your consistent, healthy haircare advice. You have helped me for the past 5+years and it has all helped me grow healthy 4c hair that no matter the length gains compliments. I am about to go back to a strict routine and almost all the techniques came from your page. Thank you again- plus your makeup looks fine, not as bad as you think lol :). You still do not need it, make up that is
!!!
That older video of your tips was actually the very first video i watched of you, best info on hair i ever recieved and i been watching u ever since 😌
I’m so happy to see you post....hope you and your family are good
Great advice🙌🏽, I’ve been getting split ends and double strand knots, but could never understand why until now, thank youuuu
Great tutorial. I have been growing out my TWA for the last 6 months (Natural for 15+ years). I will start self trimming my ends instead of trips to my favorite barber. Your products look great and I look forward to purchasing very soon. 🥰
Great video! I would add one more thing... genetics. Some people just have the luxury of growing and retaining length no matter what.
Yes! Cant leave that out!
That's true because I have family members hair that's very long and don't even use natural products . They don't even follow the natural rules and hair just long
Not according to the basara Arabs of Chad
@@kenesa Yes Chebe has helped me retain a lot of length.
Very true. My mom has hair down her back and she doesn't follow any of these rules.
Whitney is completely right about Type 4 hair wearing stretched styles for length retention. But, if you love wearing your hair in a wash n go and want to avoid breakage at the same time, simply redo your hair more often. The looser your curls/coils are the longer you can stretch your wash n go. Likewise, the tighter your curls/coils are the shorter amount of time you can wear your wash n go before it needs to be redone. I found this tip from Natural Hair Stylist & UA-camr Anthony Dickie. As a result, I've been able to retain length by doing wash n gos on my 3c/4a hair like every 2-3 days. I never rock the same wash n go over three days to avoid dryness. So far so good cause I'm at waist length!
This is the only blogger I listen to forreal 😂 her videos inspired to be to go natural in 2012 so if there is anyyyyyyyyone I’m gonna listen to its you
Whitney, I’ve been subscribed to you for the longest time. Your hair looks flawless and amazing! ❤
I was LITERALLY about to search this on UA-cam 😭😭😭😭 won't he do it!!!! #amen thank you thank thank you!!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
All I know is that I've been using Melanin Haircare products for two weeks and I already see an improvement in my hair's health
Where did you get Melanin from?

I needed to be reminded of this guidelines to retain length. I’ve been slacking. Your videos are so helpful & great reminders to help me achieve my hair goal.
1st . . .I JUST HOLLERED at the annoyance of the noise. 2nd I truly believe keeping the hair stretched helps with growth and healthy. Green Beauty has a great video on this. her science findings/facts is very informative!

Vous apprendre les "termes" anglais pour les cheveux naturels. Je regard un autre canal sur UA-cam (Français) sur cheveux naturels et mon Français est mal. Mais je peux lire des cheveux naturels "mot clés". 😀
you videos didnt pop up for a few months and you pop up again with a lush mane. We love to see it.
Thank you so much Whit, these tips were amazing and I will definitely share with all. Most folks in my home country, Namibia, do not really know healthy hair practices and are forever yanking out loads of hair due to excessive combing. I hope these tips will allow them to change their unhealthy hair practices.
