“Has it grown? Who knows?” is really a forever mood. Some days i’m like “yaaassss come on growth” and other days i’m like “what have I done? Is my hair shorter now?” STRESS 😂😂😂
Thx for being honest. That's something we black women are not permitted to be about this natural hair thing. I get particularly tired of not being able to comb my hair through without using a gazillion products and wetting it everyday. And the growth seems hidden in shrinkage. I was amused when I finally cut it short (myself) and flat ironed it, my relieved 😌 Millenial age son flatly commented, " When I was here last, you were doing an Einstein thing." Ha!
I’m at a point where I care more about thickness and health over length especially because I have fine hair and some parts of my hair are extremely volatile and breakage prone.
When you go from a fade to being able to do a twist out, you can tell it's grown, but after that, it is hard to know. We can see your growth probably better than you can 🤩
Yeah pretty much. I always feel like my hair is short until I stretch it. 4c shrinkage is no joke, so unless I stretch or straighten mine it will always look short 😃
I knew my hair grew, when I went from a whole bald undercut, to being able to do full flat time twist outs in just a year. To me it’s all about the health of the hair. When I cut about 3 inches of hair off in late 2019, then another series of heavy cuts throughout 2020, to seeing such fullness in my twist outs, let’s me know I’m doing absolutely wonderful. Health over length, will always get the job done!
Mine ain’t grown out from my big chop in 2016 and my 9 year old son hair is down the middle of his back and both of our hair is taken care of the same way and doesn’t like the same products ... I don’t know what to do at this point
@@hairounaempress try to find a routine, that works for you specifically. Really work on feeling what’s going on during your wash days, and your nutrition. Most of all, when something feels beneficial, be consistent with it.
Maybe it’s just me, but I embrace 4c shrinkage. I’m more concerned about health than length. Your hair in its shrunken state looks AMAZING. And those protective styles you did look bomb! I know it sounds crazy, but your natural hair truly suits you.
Love that you promote healthy hair over everything else. My hair grows out/gets bigger verses hanging down. So to see length I have to be looking for it or stretching my hair. Others are always so surprised when I stretch it because shrinkage is real lol.
Okay, before I comment something relevant I’m just gonna leave a 👏🏾 for those biceps! Lol! Sis, if it wasn’t for length checks on UA-cam I’d have no idea how long my hair was/is. Healthy hair is definitely the name of the game! I love your hair!!😍
I'm looking forward to growth this year because I will be doing protective styles all year. If shrinkage comes, I will embrace it. I want healthy longer hair.I know that since I will be doing it myself that I don't have to worry about the tension of a stylist.
What I would say is a length check every six months or so for me, does gauge how well your routine is working. To kind of assess your hair health too. I'm a lazy natural so I don't do the most but I dust and trim when necessary.
Thank you! I love this it makes me feel a little better about a protective styling all 2021 journey for myself and me always being anxious about seeing my hair constantly to see if it grew
Thank you ma ❤. This going to be my hair Bible every time I feel I need the journey boost 🙏. Cut my long locks now we soooooo bald . Now in the beginning here we go. Thank you so much showing love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
i loved this video! its the hair styles for me. you really actually STYLE your hair Jenn and Im living for it. you and westafricanbaby are my GOAT's for actually styling and showing off all that beautiful 4C hair. love it
I have been natural for a year next month My twist out have gotten bigger and my hair is thicker from when I started. And all of the relaxed hair is GONE 🙌🏽
Gurl, thanks for the video because I was looking at my hair growth and saw nothing but it is getting thicker. You are so right about the hair don’t focus on growth but health. Thanks girl.
Normally it is harder for the person self to see whether their hair has grown. Usually people around you are the one who notice the growth first. As a subbie I could really see your hair getting longer. Is it just me or do your sides grow the quickest cause gurll they same to be in a race compaired to the rest of your hair😁. With me it is the middle and the back. The front just chills at chin length🙄🤣
Great job on length retention. I get a little scissor happy too, but only for this ragged ends when trying to achieve the proper twist out or mini twists.
Yes I'm smiling at your statement towards the end ie "staring at your hair everyday " That will be me. I feel like I am watching the hair grow out of my shaft everyday lol especially as it is just growing back from alopecia and I can't wait to leave it out. Hopefully I will be able to soon, will do a length check in one of my hair videos soon too:)
Hello Jenn, I have enjoyed your natural hair videos but I would like to know if you will do lip stick videos because the different types of lipstick you are wearing are sooo beautiful.
You’re so funny and beautiful! God bless you and your beautiful hair♥️ you make me laugh when you smile and I’m your intro when you said, “I’m Jenny J” 😂👏🏽👏🏽♥️I love how you embrace the out come of your natural hairstyles. What you said after the last hairstyle you did of the twist out, too funny! Yes to the growth, thank God 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
For me creating an album on my phone with pictures/selfies showing my hair spaced 4 months apart helps me to see that my hair is growing and I am retaining length! I cut my hair to a low fade nearly 4 years ago and my longest layer is just about bra strap length stretched out.
Wow I really enjoyed watching this so realistic I just trimmed half of my hair I wanted a fresh start its always hard cutting off long hair but i want that same thickness and I will enjoy every bit of it im really not in a rush I just want healthy hair
Loved this video.. yea it’s crazy to tell if my natural hair is growing .. tempted to blow it out just to see most times but why bother jus enjoy the shrunken goodness😃
Omg Smh Thumbnail photo is so misleading girl I was about to say that was not one year ago, why UA-camrs be misleading like: one year growth, thumb nail photo of 2-3 year growth/retention journey smh I peeped that
At time your hair will do a jump in growth at times.... I wouldn't focus so much on if it's growing or not.... If you try not to notice, it will happen
You are so pretty .l really love 💕 your videos, you spend a lot of time doing different protective styles for us ... always appreciate that. I wish I had your energy💪!!!! Love you personality 💖💜💗
Shrinkage is the sign of healthy hair. Moral of the story leave your hair alone. She does too much manipulation reason why the length retention is smaller. I don’t agree with your conclusion at all. But very beautiful hairstyles

I keep track by how long my braids are when I’m preparing for a braid out

That was a fun walk down memory lane! 🥰
I can never get over how gorgeous your short fro was 😍
It's videos like these that make me appreciate Jenn and my natural hair in general a lil bit more ♥️
It definitely has grown Jenn. You're good at creating those styles. Beautiful 4c hair; great video.
Saving this video so I can have all the hair styles in one place!
What I would say is a length check every six months or so for me, does gauge how well your routine is working. To kind of assess your hair health too. I'm a lazy natural so I don't do the most but I dust and trim when necessary.
I love how so much more thicker your hair became, just beautiful. I loooove healthy hair
Thank you!
4C hair is so beautiful, I actually love seeing it in its shrunken state😍
Those styles are so beautiful! I want gifted with styling, after 20+ years of being natural I can still barely twist my hair well 😅
You are queen of beautiful hair styles!!!!
☝🏽Facts

Girl, at least you retained what you had plus added a few and it's flourishing!!!
Sis!!! It’s the gorgeous hair styles for me 😍 Come on 4c goodness!!!!!!

Gal you're right about not seeing progress in growth i started my natural hair journey in Dec 2019 and i feel lyk my hair hasn't grown alot.
I shaved all my hair off on December 31st 2020 and I’m on a half growth journey now! Love seeing videos like this!
I was loving all the natural hairstyles you shown! I love your videos even tho I don’t have 4C hair, I love the versatility it has!
Oh my God each protective style is beautifulll, cannot choose my favorite

What helped me is doing one braid on every side to assess growth
Love this video, needed this message. Need to focus on the health of my hair not the length. Love your hair styles need to check them out
Well made video... Loving the intermediate month popping. Love video.
How fabulous! Love all the great styles.

Great video! I’m trying to maintain healthy hair this year
Loved every minute of this 😄
I'm definitely feeling the hair and makeup you should do a makeup tutorial on this look in this video If you haven't already.
Thanks for the reassurance on the shrinkage! It definitely defies the laws of physics.😀
Hello Jenn I love the progress, do you put all your products in your scalp? What’s the correct way of applying products in hair ?
Your hair is so beautiful 😍
You remind me of the actress Teresa Randel.
Im sorry sis 🗣🗣🗣 I’m chasing length now😭😭😭
Your hair is growing very well. Oh my this is my hair 😂😂.
Just beautiful! Love this video.
