Someone get this girl a tv show. NOW!
I agree
yaasss! she's so smart too
+Moto Myki Totally agree.
yes👍👍
it would be great!! A show about natural hair
Imagine this as a tv show for young girls growing up. One thing is for sure. They wouldn't be in their 20's and 30's like us learning about our hair, or it could prevent a young girl and her mother from relaxing her hair. I love your channel and i see the knowledge and effort you put into your videos. I appreciate this channel so much. Thank you.
Thank you 💚
That's EXACTLY whats been happening to my hair. Wearing my hair in wash n go's and puff styles have been EATING at my ends with single strand knots. I wish i would have understood this earlier in the game. I just purchased some curlformers and have decided to do airdried rollersets and such to keep my hair stretched and matt free. Not sure how you did the animations in this vid, but it was awesome lol THANK YOU!
How is that going boo? Noticed a change?
+Leydee Kashmariie yes ive noticed a difference already! My hair stays moisturized longer because its not in its thirsty kinky state and i dont get those annoying single strand knots anymore:) I stretched my hair with curlformers and have been creating styles out of that. I think ill keep my hair stretched more often since my goal is to retain length. Ill be making a video soon about how long my hair has grown since its been stretched. What issues do you have with your hair? Do you keep yours stretched now too?
+Portable Konfidence I keep it stretched especially after a wash. However, knots are still my enemy. So I must find the culprit. 😒😒 want to try these curl formers though.
+Portable Konfidence when my hair it wet I have an issue with elasticity. The strands that pull, stretch and then break. I'm unsure how to describe but it's like a weak stretch. It just seems like my hair is vulnerable.
+Leydee Kashmariie the youtube link didint show after i typed it sorry. The youtubers name is: 1mits1 and the video is called: understanding hair elasticity to lessen breakage
I'm a New York State Licensed Cosmetologist and you did an amazing job doll! wink
(I give you 5 Stars)
Thank You 🙂
Mam...i need your help for my career in USA...CAN YOU PLEASE give me your whatsapp no or facebook id so that i can contact you...please mam...i need your help
Sharron C a idiot stylist in Atlanta cut off my hair in error, I'm so mad right now
Not stretching is where I have always messed up and ended up having to cut it. I'm one of those people that embrace shrinkage, but I finally realize that it keeps setting back my length retention.
+Ashley “ashabooTV” Sullivan. We are in the same position. My hair grows fast and is a little between my shoulder blades but your words describes my hair. For the longest I didn't stretch. I loved wearing my hair in puffs or curly right out of the shower. Since I've been natural I have cut over 10 inches off due to single strand knots. After my last cut which was 2 months ago I started stretching my hair by keeping it in braids with my natural hair and let me tell you my hair has grown back faster than it did before and I have so much new growth in my roots. I also see less shedding when I comb. Keep yours stretched and you will see growth and health in your hair. Good luck to you :)
shamonica stanfield you only wear braids at night or everyday?
Janiya Gowdy. Really? I had no idea. I started doing that because I noticed I maintained length and my hair sheds less now. Before I wasn’t stretching and breakage was constant.
Marie Molina. I realize I’m late at responding. Never seen these messages lol. I would have my hair stretched and do light braiding, meaning not right to the scalp. Light and loose braids I’d 4-5 on my head and wear it for a few days.
shamonica stanfield just an update at the time I made this post I just had my last major hair cut (from armpit to neck length) for the last time after realizing what I had described above. I’m now healthily (same thickness from root to ends) past bra strap (5’7”) from no heat stretching. I pretty much just wear twist and braids occasionally with extensions. I still wash, condition, moisturize and trim regularly as if my hair was loose. My hair pattern is the same as it always was. No damage. This is the formula that works for me. Waist length here I come! Good luck on your journey as well
Natural85 keeps her hair stretched ALL THE TIME :)
Her hair is goals!!
Yes she does. I ♡ Whitney (Naptural85), she is also so informative and very professional.
Thanks for another great video GBC!
She wears wash and gos a lot more now.
+Nandi Lovely and she lost a lot of length from doing wash n go's all the time (and coloring and heat). #stretchedhairlife
MsFlamingFlamer she lost her length from cutting off color damage. She has ideas on the subject. :)
Try 22nd century woman her routine and hair is beautiful.
you sound so professional. i feel better hearing your explanations. im transitioning and its so hard and overwhelming but I need to hold on to the dream of natural hair. im just so tender headed.
I'm a bit tender headed too. But it's all in the technique and hair products as well
Joy Willard The struggle is so real but worth it. I've transitioned for almost two years and it's been a roller coaster. I've learned a lot about my hair and what it likes. I use bentonite clay treatments and deep condition every week. I sometimes cowash in the middle of the week. I'm a 4c so it was tough in the beginning. I use perm rods and twist outs and where my hair out. I love stretched styles. Watch all the videos you can on your hair type. Most important learn to love your hair and what it does. A lot of us have expectations of this long loose curly hair, and from experience, it doesn't always happen. Last note: there are so many products that help with transitioning and will make tender heads smile 😉 Good luck on your journey it's a beautiful one
i notice every girl with long 4c hair always keeps it stretched
Why you readin my name? Me too.
Why you readin my name?
Shrinkage is awful with 4c, my hair is an inch past armpit length and when I wash me hair it's ear length. Not to forget the tangles
@@irrelevance3859 Shrinkage is beautiful 💛. It protects your head from the sun. ❤
Then I must be a different type
I hate to stretch my hair because I am one who loves the shrinkage but I do and I've noticed that when I do, I don't have the single strand knots anymore and I have noticed less breakage within a 2 week period.
I'm 10 and my kinky hair goes halfway down my back, because my mom never let's me straighten my hair or get extensions. I wear it is braids and twists. I'm planning on growing my hair much longer, but I must take care of it better than I do now!😝
Do u by chance have any tips if I do wear my hair down one day? Pls respond! I would truly appreciate it!
+Morgan Fulford If your plan is to grow out your hair, and you're taking good care of it (not letting it get dry, protecting it, keeping you ends healthy) then wearing it out once in a while is completely okay.
+Green Beauty Channel ™ thanks
That so cute. 😊💖
You don't write like a 10 year old....😉
It makes sense. Because my sister keeps her hair stretched in protective styles, we now have the same hair length even though I’ve been growing out my hair for 3 years whereas she’s been doing so for 1 year ☹️
I am that girl with her head full of fairyknots
i think each strand of hair i have has fairy knots and/or split ends, its very annoying
Flairelle you sure
No sis!! I am!! 😂 I swear I take the fairy knot crown!!!
@@DomingaShataun saaaaaame . ugh !
Fairy knot gang 🧚🏾♀️➰
I always felt so bad because I felt like I was not embracing my natural hair when it would shrink up, but seeing this made me feel so much better about my twistouts❤️
OMG you're so thorough..I wana cry I'm so happy..I'm blessed to have found your channel
i often notice that when my hair is stretched i have less breakage than when my hair is in its natural state. thank you for this video it will help me in the future.
So true one time I left my hair shrunk for a few days and it was tangeled n everything I just washed my hair n did the heatless rollerset method my hair looks like it’s been blown out
This was an awesome video. The illustrations were fabulous.
R Jones Thanks :-)
Stretching your hair is definitely a useful tool. I have wavy/curly hair, ad stretching it overnight makes combing and brushing SO much easier even for me. I don't use heat when I straighten my hair. I put them into pigtails with elastics going down each tail. As it dries, it becomes straight.
Me too
You look so much like the dude in game of thrones 😅
This channel seriously saved my hair.
When you were describing kinky hair and how it forms knots, you were preaching to the choir that I've been member of for 6years! I've been so depressed about my hair, it's lack of growth and the constant tangles/knots that have lead to me pulling out globs of hair trying to make it knot free... Whew! I can't braid or twist worth a darn so box braids(or any braid style) +castor oil here I come!
Thank you for this super informative, professional, and interesting video!
Shrinkage is real on curly hair too. 😩 Always stretching mine out.
Yeah mine too but at least we don't get the "fairy knots"
4c is curly hair
AWESOME video!! Thanks for always bringing great interactive information to our community!♥
DiscoveringNatural I love your videos!
PixieHollowLounge Thanks ♥
PixieHollowLounge
I love your videos :-)
Thank you so much! I found this to be 100% true. I failed to retain length and density with the constant wash and gos as my strands are extremely fine , curly and fragile. Ever since ive start ed stretching my hair (plus monthly protein treatments and protective styling) my hair is the longest its ever been and so thick
Rachel curlylocks Same here! From my view of ancient hairstyles of ladies with long and thick hair it seemed to usually be stretched via braids, intricate styles, and mud/concoctions. A big tangled, knotted ball on top of one's head is no bueno. Once my hair got past shoulder length I could no longer do wash n go's, afro's, or long term styles due to the tangling. I am trying protein as well along with henna and threading for stretch. I also started washing my hair in braids and it has made my wash day soooo much easier! I've been able to grow it long but need to improve the thickness towards the ends.
MiAmoreNoir err
MagieNoir 💖💖 do you only do this every night or do you wear it every day?
@@Cattitude369 Yeah I started washing my hair in twists and WOOOWWW! I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I don't dread wash days anymore. So much faster and easier to get to my scalp.
@@marie-nm9jo For a while I was wearing mostly buns and I twisted or braid the ends before tucking them into a bun. As of now I am experimenting with Chebe and keep my hair threaded with silk yarn. I plan to do this for the rest of the summer under wigs. I still wash in braids or twists and I also blowdry my hair if I plan to wear it out. Contrary to popular belief about heat damage blowdryers don't reach temps past like 180°f (they have temp regulators to prevent scalp/skin burn) and most heat damage comes from temps 320°f and up. I use the comb attachment from the ends up so it detangles better. During the cooler less humid months I plan to go back to buns and also do flat twists w/ satin roller curls on the ends. I will most likely refresh my hair every other day as that seems to be when my hair starts to shrink/tangle and I also invested in 100% silk pieces (wig cap, hair bonnet, pillow cases). I have been experimenting with making my own protein spritz and still use henna. Also, trimming ends as needed because raggedy ends make detangling an arduous task. So far so good!
How has your journey been going?
WHERE WERE YOU YEARS AGO??!! I would of had long, super flourishing hair by now had I seen your videos :( #bingewatchingnow
I’ve only watched 2 videos on this channel, and those 2 videos have done more for me than everyone else’s videos that I have been watching for years.
I'm a new subscriber. I've been watching your videos since 5:00 this morning. You are entertaining, informative, and you have a voice that's perfect for radio! Your channel is one of my new favorites!
I have just recently started to embrace my natural 4c hair texture, so I couldn't have found your channel at a better time.
Thank you!
+tiwan carr Thank You :-) more video coming soon !
I LOVE your videos and the animation is so on point!!
+BAP Jones Thank You
+Green Beauty Channel ™ hello can u plz share ur view on how to leave hair while sleeping..whether to let it dwn or mk a braid... i have type I.. straight and v silky n also oily.
Try African threading! It's amazing for stretching the hair!
I will
This is so true. I’m now on my 3rd big chop all because I didn’t stretch my hair as it grew longer. Lesson learned. Thanks for the great info
This makes a lot of sense considering the several points of 'weakness' at the bends along the curly hair strand. Knots will only make length retention even more difficult.
Wow, this is why I keep getting those knots, very well explained, thank you!
I have 4bc hair and I am a few inches from waist length. I recently gave myself a silk press and I’m loving how easy it has been to manage my hair. I realize that although I don’t want to use heat regularly, I am going to have to keep my hair stretched because it has become a lot to handle.
I silk press once a month and my hair has retained 5 inches in the past year (I’m also color treated with bleach) because I trim every as needed and barely have to detangle so less knots. Even when the press gets old, there are so many styling options. Anything in excess is bad but if you’re protecting the bonds of your hair with salon quality products and you don’t leave your hair completely naked, it’ll stay on your head.
As a beauty professional, I must say this was very a very clear and well explained informational video.Excellent job!
I style my hair is twists on wash day...I then bobby pin the individual twists (10-12 twists) stretching them around my head to create slight tension to the twists. I let them dry over night and in the morning I am left with stretched natural tresses that is full of body...
LuvlyUnknown That's the way to go !!!
Sole use of finger combing and keeping my hair in a stretched state (with braids) were critical steps in growing my hair to MBL - as usual your video is on point!
Right now I keeping my hair braided till 2017, I'm trying to grow my hair to shoulder length in it natural state.
barstarks me tooooo
barstarks. I kept my hair braided as well be careful and not leave them in to long
It was about the same time you wrote that comment, that I went natural and I did the same thing..I didnt realizw how much braiding helps. My hair went from short neck length to my back! It was such a surprise especially since my hair grows supppppper sloow
So did ot work? Its 2017😄
Update ? 😁
I really love your videos, helps me soooooo much. I've avoided heat for the first 2 years of my natural hair journey. And all I got was breakages, and can't deal with my hair. A month ago after watching your video, I blow dried my hair the exact way you said to. And Omg, what an amazing differences. Thanks so much for educating me. I'm no longer afraid to deal with my hair
This video was very good and very well put together I like it!
Gret video and tips. I don't wear my hair stretched and I retain length but keeping it up off my shoulders most of the time is the best I've found for my hair. I noticed my hair was getting caught on one of my dresses....I almost threw that dress out LOL
+Fine Natural Hair and Faith Lol.
you are speaking to my soul!! you are the best!!
Thank You :-)
lalsha Moise omg girl I have that same pic on my houzz.com favorites. I want that headboard so bad!! Lmbo!!
I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for putting in the extra footwork to inform not only naturals but all hair enthusiasts.
Did I tell you how much I loooove your videos!? Well I'm telling you again...I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! So educational!😙
+micarae Thank You :-)
Awesome vid! The animations are gorgeous! I love the twist/pin around head technique to stretch my hair. Thanks for the side note, it's all about each individual's goal when it comes to length retention.
In india
We have straight wavy hair mostly
So
We always wear braids
One maybe two
It's the best stretching
Method for straight wavy hair
Plus less tangles and hair breakage and loss
Love this, illustrations are awesome, thanks
Great video and fantastic animation to help us "visual learners" understand the concepts even more. For the past year, I tried stretching (twist outs) and ended up with more knots. I realize that the problem may not have been stretching, but that I needed to stop trying to hold on to a style for more than 3 days. My hair likes water, so I do a water & oil refreshing session mid-week and re-twist. Also, getting a REALLY GOOD TRIM has made those knots disappear and my curls come alive! Thanks again for all your videos!!
After 10 years of natural hair I can't believe I didn't understand the importance of stretching hair to reduce knots🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
girl same!! have i been living under a rock
I've been doing twist outs and I noticed whenever I would Wash my hair it felt longer. I had no idea twist outs and braid outs were this beneficial in retaining length. I just want shoulder length hair when
Same here! I used to stretch my hair with heat and I noticed my hair would be super dry and it would still tangle at the ends and my ends felt brittle. Twists/twists and banding are the only way I stretch my hair now and detangling is a breeze
So glad to see these videos come back this year. I've learned something new as always.
Your channel is the reference !! Everything about your videos define quality. I love the efforts you put into them thank you for being uniquely orignal, efficient and informative xx
I love your videos, you have the best information. The animations are awesome.
The best video ever....Talented, precise, and professional. kudos
I’m definitely going too add stretching to my regimen. Thank you Greenbeauty you are heaven sent.
Your animations are amazing! This was such an awesome video, packed with a lot of information! Thank yoooou!
Omg this was so well put together. All facts and inclusive of those who want to embrace shrinkage .
Now it all makes sense, thank you. I have started to go natural completely since May 2015 (I've had an on and off relationship with having my hair natural since my sophomore year in high school) and when i stretch my hair it keeps my hair from shrinking and being stubborn to deal with as well as retaining length and I love it. Thank you for this informative video. I guess I'll continue stretching my hair - my hair could use the length.
Your videos are absolutely awesome. So informative & very easy to understand. Thank you.
That's what was happening with my hair omg YOU SAVED MY LIFEEE THANKK YOUUUU
This is my first time watching your videos and they are great! I love the animations and the great detailed information. Very different and unique from alot of youtube videos. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely brilliant detail and great to know heat pressing is not the devil lol but is dependant on HOW to do it and how often. Thank you!
🙌🏾
I never wanted to watch a video on here as if it were a documentary until I got here today! I was terribly upset that it ended so soon. Where is part 2? What an amazing video. Very informative! Thank you so much.
Completely AWESOME! Thanks for the information.
You give so good advices, and I improve my English through your channel (my native language are Dioula and French). Thank you very much. I love you ! 💟
Great video! I'm glad that you discussed how heat can aid in length retention for dense tightly coiled hair. My hair would not be as long as it is if it wasn't for heat and stretching. I find that heat also helps my low porosity hair to better absorb oils and moisterizers.
your illustration is very helpful when explaining points! subbed
This is the only natural hair channel I have subscribed to! Thank you for this!
Great video. I've noticed as my hair has gotten longer, keeping it in stretched styles has created stronger hair that is softer,and restains moisture ×100!!!
The first part is what happens to me :( so glad I found this video. Thank you God! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Thanks for making this video GreenBeauty!
Excellent explanation. I love this.
This just spoke of what I am going through!! I'd take your word for it!!😊
My hair is long, coarse, and thick right now, it has always been since a child.. My mother used to do my hair in stretch hair styles all the time, and braids(no extensions) where she didn't have to do it herself daily..
"Green Beauty": You have a soothing, soft voice and excellent pronunciation!
I enjoyed this smart-made video. Thanks!

Thank You
belfam89 z
Thanks for another great and always informative video! I have always dry my hair in twist or plaits. Last year I began to pin or band those plaits and twist! The stretch helps makes my styling easier. I have seen a reduction in single strand knots and tangles. I am trying to retain length, I do moisturize, seal, and protein as well. I am sure you have a video on moisturizing and protein so I will go over and check those out. Thank and blessings! stay authentically beautiful!
LuLuABlessedSurvivor Aww thanks girl :-)
Green Beauty Channel ™ You are most welcome, but I thank you for all the helpful information! ♥
You did a wonderful job on this video
This videos are educational. Thank you so much.
BEST CHANNEL EVER!!!!
I remember that I braided my hair backwards, im not sure if that is stretching but that was what my hairdresser told me. She said it was not exactly the same but it helps to prevent damage and helps you grow out your hair healthy, I have pin straight asian hair. The braids actually helped me alot with growing out my hair, I didn't have to braid it every morning and loose alot of hair and I also realized how much I actually damage my hair sometimes, I haven't washed my hair in almost a month now ( I still have the braids in ) and I will take them out next friday and wear a moisture mask afterwards. Hope that it has grown
Hey, braids are a great protective style just make sure to wash your hair more often. Not washing your hair can cause bacteria to build up on your scalp and lead to inflammation, which can cause hair loss or make your hair grow out slower.
+Green Beauty Channel ™ oh, I didn't know that. Though it was healthy to go a long time without washing but yeah I can wash it 2-3 times a week😅😊
This makes sense. I will be stretching my hair from now on. Thank you.
that's EXACTLY the types of channels we need !!! Thanks !!
Darn..i really, really,REALLY hate my hair has to be stretched for it to grow long... I love my shrinkage.
I don't think this is true at all. I have only ever stretched my hair once, and my growth has been fantastic. I don't think stretching makes your hair grow faster, it just appears longer because you've stretched your natural curls.
+Aneesa H.
Stretching your hair does not make it grow faster. It makes it get longer because it keeps your hair from breaking.
+Malika Silla Yes, I know. By that I meant: I don't believe that stretching your hair will always benefit your hair growth. The more your hair is properly taken care of the "faster" you will obtain length (which is obvious because it's not breaking off or having to be trimmed a lot).
Obviously if your hair doesn't break easily, you don't have to worry about stretching; we are all different. My hair is very fine, very curly without product (mostly 3C with some 3B and a little 4A), and high porosity so it breaks easily and stretches easily (all I have to do to keep my hair stretched is pull it back in a slick ponytail or some bantu knots overnight after washing my hair). Keeping my hair stretched most of the time (not all of the time) has definitely stopped my hair from breaking so much; therefore I retain more length. You are lucky if your hair doesn't break much but most kinky heads (no matter how kinky, a little or a lot) have issues with breakage. This is what she's talking about in the video.
I love my shrinkage also!! Long hair has never been "it" for me. I just really want healthy hair💯
Great presentation
Thank You :-) ... New videos coming July 21st !!
Thank you, Green Beauty 💚
I love your videos, they are so informative & helpful. Great job 👏🏾❤️😁.
