Braiding or plaiting with one’s own hair is so underestimated here in the U.S. It’s literally the easiest and fastest way to care for our strands and retain length. I LOVE Shea butter!! And my herb of choice is Henna. It gives so much strength to my strands. This was a helpful video!! I going to get out my raw cocoa butter today. 😅💕🌺
@makeuplayshaa. Exactly!! We can definitely be creative in the way we wear them and look nice. I wear plaits with flat twist that turn into plaits in the front, done at an angle and listennnn…you can’t tell me nothing! 😅😂 My hair is thriving! I just wish I saw more women like me, wearing their own hair in a protective style. It’s lonely out here in these natural hair streets. But I keep it moving. Hopefully, one day as a whole, black women will stop covering their beautiful tresses with fake hair.
I live in southwest Florida and I use Shea Butter on my hair and skin. Shea Butter and coconut oil works better at protecting my skin from the sun than most chemical laden commercial sunscreens. So I mix a little zinc oxide in Shea butter and coconut oil and apply it to my skin for protection.
Love natural hair platforms please keep up the good work talking about it it's almost like AA Women and Black women all over the world Forgot where they came From Most Not ALL.
This is a unique, informative and beautifully presented vid well done my sister, u have really enlightened me of all these old fashioned remedys that we can use on our hair. Our hair is sooo beautiful when we give it the time and the LOVE ❤️ ❤❤❤❤ that it truly deserves. Thk u so much 4 sharing this important information. 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤.
@@shalawndudley2094 to keep the hair from moving to much. There is tension and manipulation. braiding tight reduce manipulation. Braiding loose reduce tension. You have to find the right balance between the two.
Amazing, informative, and enlightening vlog!!! Thanks for the time, energy, and life experience you put into getting and sharing this information with us.❤
Some of the women in this video are from Chad and their particular tribe has Arabic Ancestry and so they don’t actually have type 4 hair. They have more of a straight texture of hair.
@@SharonWycliffe they do have Arabic ancestry. I don’t think they do I know they do. You can look it up for yourself. And I’m of African descent and my hair is 4 inches away from my waist so I absolutely believe that Africans can grow long hair. The only reason I mention the Arabic ancestry in the women from Chad is because they clearly don’t have type 4 hair and that does play a role in the way their hair looks.
Their tribe has African ancestry. So some have type 4 hair, some have straighter hair. Just like in west Africa and across the diaspora. Some west Africans and central Africans have straighter textures as well. Don't be silly lol
Can you please tell me what they use to keep the hair once it is dry, not to shrink! I am looking for a product that relaxes the hair, but not change it's texture chemically! My hair when elongated springs back to a shorter length. I want it to be easy to comb through and not break! Please tell me what they use and where I can buy it! Thank you!
@@universalangei9320 They use Chebe oil. . It is from Tchad. Am living in West Africa in Sénégal and I buy Chebe oil in the market to protect my hair. Try to find it online in internet.
First of all, let me tell you that I am using the translator, in case any phrase is not understood very well. If the majority of photos you have posted are African women who have long hair but almost all of them do not really know how to take care of their hair, it is not just about having it long, it is about preserving it and 90% have frontal alopecia. I live in Barcelona and I avoid African women's hair salons as much as I can, every time I have tried they have split my hair, they comb it as if they were pulling weeds, there are 3 types of African hair salons: African girls who know how to comb and straighten , but who have never studied and the girls who have studied but do not know how to treat afro hair because they have not studied techniques or anything and they do hair as they learned when they were little and still do not treat afro hair with delicacy, there are few whose businesses last longer 5 years, in some cases when I returned, the hair salon was already closed and I start again from the beginning and the new generation that have only recently specialized in afro hair, which not all of us can or want to access due to their high price. Of all the hairdressers there are only 7 in Barcelona considered the best, for some people but I no longer dare to try or spend so much, I was wrong for so many years with who I left my hair, now I have paid conrows, little because the hairstyles do not They last, because of the treatments and massages, I take care of my diet, I drink the water I need, I take my vitamins and I do my hair routine, the videos are a very good guide but they are based on what works for them, but some don't They mention that all bodies and hair are different, they eat differently, their menstruations are different, their hormones too, their age too, it's not just whether it's a 4a, 4b, 4c, there are many factors, but something that we take into account common is that the hair is a dead fiber, I see a lot of African American hairdressers on UA-cam how they treat hair and if I had the opportunity and the money to travel there, with my eyes closed. Here in Spain it is difficult to find an African girl with hair below her shoulders, they do not change their mentality when it comes to styling their hair, they have not evolved and no matter how much I explain to them that their hair has to be taken care of like a baby, it doesn't matter.
What I do when I was growing up my mother and my aunts and my friends moms they would use Vaseline mixed with gloversmaine r sufer8 they used that in the Southern States of America but I’m from California so my mom use what there parents and Grandparents use on them so I started back using the same as I was a little girl growing up it works for me sufer8 hair grease it might have a little smell but I don’t care wash and condition it and take my prenatal vitamins and drink water and take zinc and braid my own hair not with the hair u buy pray over my hair and that’s it and my hair is really thick
@@Doris-pv8rj I’m confused, I’m Originally from Nigeria, born in Spain, Barcelona to be exact and for you to say 90% of Africans it’s a bit wild. The fact that you only got to see a percentage of African women with short hair doesn’t mean that 90% of African woman have short hair. The main key point here is not about hair growth because hair is always growing unless you have a medical problem. The key is retaining that length that grows out of your scalp, so my recommendation for you will be to learn how to do so by maybe watching videos of natural hair retention , they are lots of them and you can see a lot of African women there… my hair is mid back length and to be honest all I did was moisture with water, leave in condition and oil to seal in the moisture and leave my hair in cornrows for months.
Please let's grow what grow us not thinking about societal norms. Sometimes the norms ain't normal abi u get. #hairtoday If wanna hear the real truth, society isn't about the manicipation of the black woman.
I love the smell of raw shea butter! The developed world is creating more harm than good to people, humans are not meant to live that way. And we are paying the consequences.

It's because in western countries those styles are seen as "childish".
@LoXena yeah, along with unkempt, dirty or ghetto. But im feeling inspired by these kinds of videos, we gotta stop caring

Our hair is better suited to tropical climates

@@Leah_Tewari good information thanks
Coconut oil makes my hair very hard . What is the solution for that ?
@@AnnalineRoenelOor you may just have to find another oil to substitute it !
YES! Raw ingredients are AMAZING! I have found that natural works better with natural. My hair is natural and it loves natural ingredients.
Thank you!!
@@Leah_Tewari what exactly are you using dear ?
Thank you for representing and embracing natural hair. Continue with the positivity, it is much needed
@@peacefulblessed2114 thank you for your kind words🫶🏽

I purchased the Chebu powder cream from Amazon. It smelled really strong. But it does work.
@@AuntyM66 when you say it smells strong, does it smell bad?
@@kekeesan To be honest I would use it if I were in isolation because the smell is too strong. But my hair was strong and didn’t break.
Why would the African ladies think braiding tight is a good thing? It causes breakage, and it hurts.
@@shalawndudley2094 to keep the hair from moving to much. There is tension and manipulation. braiding tight reduce manipulation. Braiding loose reduce tension. You have to find the right balance between the two.
Not all Africans do tight braid it depends on the braider
