8:56 Girl!! Say it louder for the people on the back!! Water damage is real and so many people overlook this issue. If you have short hair that dries quickly or you live in a warm climate, don't have things to do that day etc, then sure, air-drying is fine. However you must keep in mind that if you let your hair be wet for hours while putting under stress (going outside when it is windy or humid, sleeping on it, touching it, putting up in ponytails, hanging with your kids who love to tug on your locks and stuff like that) is going to be way more damaging to your hair that blasting it with a hair drier for a couple of minutes Source: I am a naturally curly girl who made the mistake of forgoing all heat tools for years and ended up with a weird frizzy "halo" on top of my head and weird broken short pieces near my part, all cause it took too long to dry in the winter. I have been using a diffuser all winter long, drying my hair for only 5-10 minutes until the roots get kinda almost dry (I air dry now cause it is insanely warm where I live in the summer) and my curls are thriving. Also, migraines. Wet roots for hours are terrible for your migraines. Take care of your health yall...
Tbh I've been finding a lot of strands of hair on my bed and I was like wtf???!! I've been putting my hair in clips and drying it overnight while it's wet, so I'm def gonna stop doing that now omg
when i used to have super thick long hair and i mean down to like mid butt i would ALWAYS air dry and i always wondered why i would get terrible headaches and migraines so i cut it all off lmfao and this comment kind of made me realize why
I don't know why but my hair tries fairly quickly. I don't know if it's maybe because of my hair thickness, or how much hair I have, or the porosity of my hair. I have medium long straight hair and it dries in around 20-30 minutes. I've almost always air dried it but recently I have been blow drying it because I heard it does help with dandruff, but after a few months I still haven't seen a difference, so I don't know whether to continue blow drying or not.
First of all, that dress 😍😍 secondly, mei those were more than 8 tips 😂 thirdly, I'll definitely implement these in my life as I really want to grow out my hair!!
Thank you for this! My hair is almost waist length at the moment - my goal is hip length ! : ) Since I cut my fringe back in Feb I have been a lot more interested in hair health + growth. I find it really therapeutic to go through my hair cutting off split end by split end while listening to youtube videos! (prob 3 hours a week?) I think it's probably going to be worth the effort, especially over getting a trim twice a year. I manage to grow like 0.70 a month. Lush, Shea moisture, and Calia are all shampoo and conditioner brands I recommend!
Most people actually have a maximum length that their hair can sustainably reach. Ofc your hair is always growing but once the longest ones reach that “max length” they will naturally fall out. So while all her tips are great for hair health, it may not be possible for everyone to grow out luscious locks that long.
My hair is bleached like at a level 9 and it's about the same length as yours, it's been a struggle to try and keep my hair from breaking and fall out...it's pretty sad but with all of the fall out I only need about 30 minutes to air dry my hair 😕 *I will be trying these things out for sure!*
Nanas' Life girl the damage is done lol nothing left to be careful about. i just cut it to my shoulders and it’s fine now. dry as hell but not fried in the ends
@@SteffyRodriguezAgredo ah, did the same. Learnt my lesson: bleaching to blonde after years dying your hair red is a horrible experience. I think I bleached 5-7 times. I have no idea how I managed to only lose like one inch of hair after that crazy bleaching week (I trimmed my ends) . Now it's been a little bit longer than 2 months and my hair is at the same length as before. My ends have seen better days, but I am stubborn, so I won't cut it again lol
Roxana C. i cut like 4 inches off 😂 shit was FRIED!!! the middle section of my strands wouldn’t lighten not sure why. i’m gonna just bleach bath it until it goes to a level 9 like the rest of my hair lol i got hair extensions so it’s all good until my hair grows
honeslty the air-drying tip made so much sense. i’ve always had really weak hair and everyone kept telling me to air-dry but it just never worked for me because i’d still be doing work while my hair was wet which would make it pull more
Ok so, it seems I can't air dry my hair. I can't blowdry my hair. I can't even towel dry my hair. And I also can't wrap it in a towel because I don't know how to towel wrap my hair. So basically I'm doomed. And my hair is a mess. It's medium length and sheds like a cat. It's also super oily. :( I don't dye my hair and it's quite thick in consistency
I have afro hair but I love watching hair videos of any hair texture lol My hair prefers air drying because it's really fine. The conditioners I use make sure it's strong when wet also it shrinks 😂
Mei! I don't know how to express this but You give this vibes like a big sister for me! 😭💕 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIPS! I've been following you since 4 years ago on youtube and i can tell that you are one of those youtubers who cares A LOT of your content!!!

EVEN YOUR EXSISTENCE ONLY IS A TRULLY BLESSING FOR ME 💕💕
Story time. I had short hair. I wanted long hair. In my school, I met that girl with extra long hair. One day I asked her How do you have such long and beautiful hair? Her answer surprised me She told me, simply LET THEM GROW I just tought... Weelll that's not really the answer to my problem I did what she said. I straighted my hair a lot, had lice shampoo everytwo weeks ( hated it), been wearing plate all the time. Then out of no were one day I realized I had long hair. I also tried to take the best care I could despite all the damage I did to it. I hope you'll have your ideal hair length soon, my friend. 💖💖💖💖 Stay safe loves.
I think the real method for growing long hair is just not cutting it 😂. I ended up with hair down to my butt and I didn’t put any effort in to doing it, I hardly even brushed it (I was pretty young and stubborn!). I really want to grow mine to that length again but the struggle of not cutting it really short ahhh 😂.
Sspxced I'm not the person that you asked but I'm just gonna tell you my story lol I cut my hair in a pixie cut back in August 2017 Summer 2018 shoulder length, summer 2019 it was about an inch or two below my collar bone And now my hair is around the middle of my ribcage, and I think it'll take about a year for it to become waist length! That's my hair journey so far! As long as you don't start with a pixie cut then I think it'll only take a couple years to get super long:)
Erika Keka woah that is very impressive! Thanks for sharing your story ^^ it’s just so depressing, I feel like it doesn’t grow at all, but I straightened it around 2 months ago, and I was shook about how much it grew c:
It's so weird that you uploaded this because I decided literally this week that I was going to grow my hair for two years because I've never grown it for that long before
wow it’s like u read my mind, i’ve been trying to find ways and tips to take care of my hair and grow it! i recently too did a drastic cut and immediately miss my long hair haha. i’ve also bleached and dyed my hair a couple times so i rlly needed this thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m growing mine out and I’ve done EVERYTHING WRONG for a year and a half ! My hair is super broken and I didn’t even consider it was the shampoo or the way I dry it ! Thank you so much
Agree on the wet damage part. I was told by my stylist that leaving my scalp wet for long periods of time by air drying is also causing scalp issues. It'll also help us out since you like to shift side to side while sleeping, to share with us how you sleep with long hair. Eg. any updos or 'hacks' that you use. I'm battling with this issue as all updos and sleeping caps fall off while sleeping; causing more breakage.
I needed this thank you! I went platinum 1,5 years ago and my hair was fine but af few months after I started accutane and it ruined my hair. I have been growing out my hair eversince and I want to grow it long again. I hope these tips will work
@@jennifergonzalez4069 In some cases, because your scalp stops producing oil when on accutane > your hair becomes really dry > breakage. Keep in mind my hair was bleached & I used A LOT of heat on it. So if you take care of your hair it probably won’t happen to you
Such good tips! I have waist-length bleached hair, and I have always been lucky with it. My hair must be pretty indestructible. My hair cannot stand a pernm, though. It never breaks or gets split ends. I have gone on search-and-destroy missions throughout my life and found only a dozen split ends at most. Two things will break my hair: permanent wave solution and hairspray! No split ends, just breakage. My hair is oily and requires washing every other night. Perhaps it is because of being oily that it stays in good condition. I don't know if it makes any difference, and I would love to hear from other people on this, but I am a natural redhead. I wonder if our hair is a little tougher. Thank you so much for this video because your tips are better than most of the so-called experts!👋🎀👍
When I went to college I basically never straightened my hair or used heat at all, but within the past year it’s gotten so much shorter. Definitely from braiding it so much lol, I’m glad my hair wasn’t just falling out
I had no idea about the damages of airdrying and how much more prone to damage wet hair is! Kinda realize now why my hair quality has been terrible the past years. Soooo glad you made this video!
girl i literally spend 3 hours yesterday searching for a "pick me up" treat for my hair and looked up silk pillow cases, I def wish that I waited just one more day before I purchased mine! D:
i have never appreciated my naturally healthy straight hair more than today, people talk about how they need to take these extra precautions but somehow ive never had a problem with my hair being too oily or having a lot of breakage ☺️☺️
If you live in a really warm climate and you have fine hair like me and it dres really fast, i don't think its essencial to blowdry it However for people who live in cold and humid weather i think its an amazing tip and im surprised more people aren't talking about it
wow the orange looks super fresh and unique on you!! can you try a two tone bangs and long hair look (like jennie) next so I can live vicariously through you please
My hair is as long as yours right now, but I, too, want to grow it longer. It used to be down to my waist but I ended up getting it cut shorter due to dead, split ends and also, quite frankly, getting tired of it getting caught between my ass crack LMAO BUT ALAS... I want it that long again!! I've been struggling though at 26 to have it grow back to that length so tbh your video really does help a lot for a few tips I never really thought to take into account like with the towel drying motions and such. My hair stylist also mentioned another way to help prevent dead ends on your hair is to treat it with a keratin hair mask or conditioner, as well as to be as gentle as you can with brushing. Here's hoping we both can grow our hair even longer. ♥
I’ve had a bob for two years now. I’m blessed that my hair grows fast, but I also suffer from trichotillomania. I’m hoping some of these tips can help me combat it and achieve my hair length goals!
I have to be honest I didn't want to believe that I needed to actually dry my hair and not just let it air dry like I had been like the past year or so but in the last 6 months I caved in and got a hair dryer ! I've been blow drying after every wash (once every 5 days to be exact) and my hair is getting long and staying nice ! I also stopped dyeing my hair for 3 months so that I can fade the current color and its worked wonders :) ! so yea I'm grateful that one of the biggest points you shared was about how fragile hair is while it's wet and how air drying hair might be more counter productive !
My hair dresser cut my almost mid chest length hair into a bob even though I told her that my length shouldn't be affected. And she cut off 5 inches and it's not a straight cut bob. Its an a line Bob and I hate it. I honestly don't know what to do about it. I'm so mad.
Try using hair accessories! Like hair pins and try very different hairstyles ! Like 90s Japanese hair styles are really good ! I’m sure that you look really cute ♡︎
Black Swan Edits NOOOOO😭😭 i’ve one did this so i decided to buy a bunch of hair accessories to cover that shitty bang of mine up . I suggest you to buy hair pins and use it till your hair grows taller 😔👌🏻💕💓
i completely shaved my head completely bald in march, but my hair is growin back pretty fast!! im at like 2 1/2" rn but i think thats solely jus cause of genes.. only other factors i can think of that would be helpin is my silk pillow case n only washing my hair like every other 2 days or so... ive got a hair growth oil otw in the mail n we'll see if that actually helps w growth any lol
Im so jealous, my hair grow very slow, I started in 2016 to grow my hair from the same length you started, and now in 2021 I have reached the length you have now. 5 years >.< I want my hair to be even longer, I wish my hair grew as fast as yours. Its crazy how fast your hair grows
Black girls, (im also black lol) we wrap our hair in satin scarfs, or use satin hair hats or even just satin pillow cases help because regular pillowcases and sheets are made from cotton and absorb a lot of the oil and due to the dryness+ friction that can lead to breakage. Im sure this can be beneficial to anyone
I’d actually recommend keeping it down, or maybe a loose ponytail/braids. A tight bun or ponytail can pull on your hairline a lot, especially if your a rough sleeper who rolls over often. Also, mars is definitely right about it being better for all hair types to use silk/satin pillowcases or caps.
I think people assume the fly aways at their partings is breakage, but it's actually brand new strands of hair (: we go through 3 stages of growth, we get the fly aways when our hair is rapidly replacing itself and growing faster. You can also tell the difference between this and breakage by the end of the strand, blunt is breakage and tapered is new. Yes I'm a professional going on 7 yrs, hope this is atleast interesting 😅
I just use baby shampoo, i put some shampoo on my hand and massage my roots and massage my ends too! My hair is quite healthy, and for drying all I do is take my two hands and squeeze
i stim really bad and most of it is with my hair .... i rip it out, rub it all over my face and just brush my fingers through it constantly all day lol. i used to have really short hair so i couldnt do that but now i want to try to grow my hair really long... wish me luck!!!
i've always had very long hair (butt-length, if not even more) then one day i came home and i was so tired of it i decided to cut it short (shoulder length), and while i actually prefer short hair look on me, i'm torn between cutting it again soon or letting it grow (it has grown a lot by now), because i feel like ever since i have short hair i have seen so many hairstyles i can no longer do... this is the first time of my life i cut my hair that short but also the first time of my life i noticed how fast my hair grows... cat it in february and it has already grown by 10cm... these tips can really help for healthy hair! but the growth of your hair also really depends on genetics, i know a friend of mine just couldn't have long hair because no matter how much she took care of it, it ended up breaking all the time once it reached a certain length.. but as long as you take good care of it, it will look beautiful anyway!! know what your hair needs to be healthy, this is the most important!
I’m happy you made this video, I been doing a few things rightish but other things you mention I need to star. My hair is like a day event though 😂 so I need mental strength to do it.
If you have really oily hair, what shampoo should you use? My hair always feels icky with the kind of shampoo I use. I think I need to use the dandruff version because it helps with hair like mine. Conditioner helps with the softness though.
An elderly woman lay across from me in a hospital bed. She had beautiful, long, hair. She was 90. She said she had never cut it and she only washed it once a month, using cornflour to soak up excess oil. I've tried it, it works. Check it out. Thanks for the video.
I'm currently trying to grow my hair longer so your video is super helpful and appreciated! I struggle with breakage a lot, hopefully I can do something about that with your tips~~
By hairdresser I would explain to you that you go to hair salon and cut all your breakage in one straight line, I know it is much. Than trim it every 3 months.
Love your videos! Instantly subbed & you're so pretty. ❤️ P.s. I'm on my hair journey to achieve my hair goal length. 🌼 I cut my hair in Bob cut style and now it nearly reach my chest area. I'm personally feel so excited ❤️
i also have terribly slow hair growth. Make sure you are getting the right nutrition. Take a daily vitamin. Also HIGHLY recommend getting bloodwork done even if you "feel healthy." My boyfriend is the healthiest guy I know and he got bloodwork recently and found out that he was actually super deficient in magnesium and vitaD, which we never would have thought. other than that, there's really nothing more we can do, unfortunately. Your hair will grow at its own pace; Minimize breakage as much as you can so that you can maintain the hair growth you get.
Asian hair honestly just grows really fast and is so much stronger! My best friend has like a couple millimetre of roots after a few days of bleaching her hair (and shes bleached it pretty much fully multiple times, bleached all over 3 times in a row etc and its still on her head?), and it did grow an inch in a month once !! She cut it chin length and after a few months it was already to her collarbone while im doing everything to grow mine from that length/keep it healthy and her hairs almost the length as mine already even tho mine was longer to start!
It should also be mentioned that everyone's hair will grow to different lengths because of genetics. There's a limit to how long your hair will go. Some people's genetics will allow hair to grow to their knees and other people can't grow past their chest. Also, the older you get the slower your hair will grow and regenerate. Peak growth is ages 15-30 I believe! My hair grows as fast as Mei's and I'm at this length now, when my goal was waist length, but now I'm so tempted to get a bob again ahhhhhh
Personally I want my hair to be SUPER long, like, down to my knees and I know that hair dye/bleaching doesn't allow the hair to grow as long sometimes so I'd dye my hair if it was that long... and then I'd cut some off to donate it after it's dyed my favorite colors
Do you sleep with your hair down or do you have any reccomendations for hairstyles when you like to keep your hair up but healthy when sleeping? ☺ thanks for the tips!
I see a lot of people recommending sleeping with a braid, I have been doing it for years and it does work, but sleeping in a scarf or a silk bonnet helps a lot, there is no freeze or friction happening in the sleep and then you wake up with nice waves as well! Black women has been doing this for ages.
about airdry... it s said that it is the other way around.. blowdry damages your hair but airdry just lets you to dry ur hair naturally... but i use blowdry generally cuz of my chemical traited hair in anyways lol...
Please somebody give me an advice as well! I’m super disappointed I had long hair, with beautiful volume but I’ve decided to go blonde because I though I will look better with it. Sadly not just because of its maintenance the ash blonde hair didn’t look good on me and to keep it ash I used a lot of purple shampoo since my hair originally dark brown with many red pigments it always got yellow pretty quickly. My hair was completely silver at one point but I hated it. So I thought I will go back to brown but first I have to refill the pigments with red. So I went to a hairstylist again ( I did the blonde at the most expensive salon at my city but my hair was still pretty damaged even though I used everything from OLAPLEX and natural treatments as well, one hair wash was almost 30 minutes long) so I went back to another hairstylist who turned my hair this deep red/kinda orange but more like wine red colour and I after few wash it started fading and the blonde was there again. So I went to another salon, there a really professional and kind hairstylist tried to fix it for me with some bleach bath to get rid of the red and put brown at the top and just let the ends be blonde. But after few month my roots were my naturally dark brown, at the middle it was ginger and the bottom was yellow I was absolutely devastated and it was such in a poor condition that I cut it until neck length. At the end at home I could colour the bottom back to a natural brown which fits the top. It’s been 7 month and my hair still didn’t grow at all and it looks terrible from the breakage I try everything to keep it in a good condition but it’s like dry grass and my hair is originally straight so it has no volume but I’m too afraid to style it with my curling iron. Please somebody give me help I feel really bad with short hair, at least to make it look healthy. I tried rosemary oil recently also putting oil on my scalp and massaging it and I’ve got read of my chemical filled hair masks… what else can I do? Or is it possible that it will never ever grow back?
My hair naturally grows around 2-2,5cm per month and that's the reason why I stopped dying my hair 😩😩 I would have to touch up my roots every second week 😩😩 At the beginning of this year my hair was exactly 90cm long so I cut half of the length and within 5 months my hair is already 10cm longer 😅😅
I love your hair!! And thank you for your great tips! BUUUT: My best friend is asian as well and she has thick and healthy LONG hair like you... and I have a lot but super thin european hair... so... never will reach it :)
question about the air drying. i've noticed that my hair is way less oily when i blowdry my scalp hair and let the rest airdry (also it has nice waves afterwards), this is actually a quite important to me since my hair gets oily super fast. i always stay inside then and the most damaging thing i'd probably do while airdrying is laying in bed. so would it be enough to protect them with a towel or something similar?
do you use anything specific for scalp? I am bleaching and dying my hair but I am fearful that with time it will damage my scalp so I am looking for a treatment to strenghten my scalp and hair to avoid hair loss and promote hair growth.
I could never manage to blow dry my hair when I tried, the air somehow makes my hair really frizzy so I stick to air drying because that’s what works best for me, also a tip that really helped me with my super damaged and frizzy hair was to find paraben and sulfate free shampoos that are moisturizing, also using things like deep conditioners and leave-in conditioners as well helped. When I started taking more cate of my hair it was after I made a huge mistake and bleached it 7 times in 7 weeks to try and get pink dye out and my hair was so damaged it stretched and broke. I went to the salon and they told me that if I had bleached it one more time my hair probably would have broken off close to the roots, so I started using specifically curly hair shampoos and conditioners and my hair started forming ringlets! It’s been 2 years now since that so let me tell you it is not a fast process in the slightest haha
I bleach my hair 😭😭😭 to get the base color to do fashion colors, there is no way they will ever grow this long or healthy, it’s also genetics , I feel good genes hair , no matter what you do , the hair lasts .
I've had extremely fine, baby thin hair all my life and it makes me so sad 😞 I feel like the only thing I can do is protect it from damage at all times, never getting the chance to experiment with hairstyles or colors/dyes. I'm trying to grow it out as much as possible so the length can combat how thin it is, but growing it is taking such a long time 😵 (At least 5 years now!)
Lets be honest tho growing out ur hair is easier if it's straight
I also noticed all my Asian friends seems to struggle WAY WAY less with growing their hair out....
So jealous :(
I don't think so
@@theklam6276 My Japanese friend got a pixiecut a couple months ago and its already almost down to her shoulders and I'm so jealous xD and yes, shrinkage is so annoying

Girl!! Say it louder for the people on the back!!
Water damage is real and so many people overlook this issue. If you have short hair that dries quickly or you live in a warm climate, don't have things to do that day etc, then sure, air-drying is fine. However you must keep in mind that if you let your hair be wet for hours while putting under stress (going outside when it is windy or humid, sleeping on it, touching it, putting up in ponytails, hanging with your kids who love to tug on your locks and stuff like that) is going to be way more damaging to your hair that blasting it with a hair drier for a couple of minutes
Source: I am a naturally curly girl who made the mistake of forgoing all heat tools for years and ended up with a weird frizzy "halo" on top of my head and weird broken short pieces near my part, all cause it took too long to dry in the winter.

you can also use papertowels for less frizz :)

Most people actually have a maximum length that their hair can sustainably reach. Ofc your hair is always growing but once the longest ones reach that “max length” they will naturally fall out. So while all her tips are great for hair health, it may not be possible for everyone to grow out luscious locks that long.

In my school, I met that girl with extra long hair. One day I asked her
How do you have such long and beautiful hair?
Her answer surprised me
She told me, simply
LET THEM GROW
I just tought...
Weelll that's not really the answer to my problem
I did what she said. I straighted my hair a lot, had lice shampoo everytwo weeks ( hated it), been wearing plate all the time.
Then out of no were one day I realized I had long hair.
I also tried to take the best care I could despite all the damage I did to it.
I hope you'll have your ideal hair length soon, my friend. 💖💖💖💖 Stay safe loves.
I think the real method for growing long hair is just not cutting it 😂. I ended up with hair down to my butt and I didn’t put any effort in to doing it, I hardly even brushed it (I was pretty young and stubborn!). I really want to grow mine to that length again but the struggle of not cutting it really short ahhh 😂.
How long did it took you to grow long hair??
Sspxced I'm not the person that you asked but I'm just gonna tell you my story lol
I cut my hair in a pixie cut back in August 2017
Summer 2018 shoulder length,
summer 2019 it was about an inch or two below my collar bone
And now my hair is around the middle of my ribcage, and I think it'll take about a year for it to become waist length!
That's my hair journey so far! As long as you don't start with a pixie cut then I think it'll only take a couple years to get super long:)
Erika Keka woah that is very impressive! Thanks for sharing your story ^^ it’s just so depressing, I feel like it doesn’t grow at all, but I straightened it around 2 months ago, and I was shook about how much it grew c:
Hi, hello, I just have a question, how do you get that self-restrain for not cutting it? XD
Giving me Asuka Langley Soryu vibes here! Love it!!!
EVANGELION!!♡
It's so weird that you uploaded this because I decided literally this week that I was going to grow my hair for two years because I've never grown it for that long before
Dude same :D
I did a buzzcut and, oh Boy, do i regret it.... Those are valuable tips, ty, gonna try some of those
wow it’s like u read my mind, i’ve been trying to find ways and tips to take care of my hair and grow it! i recently too did a drastic cut and immediately miss my long hair haha. i’ve also bleached and dyed my hair a couple times so i rlly needed this thank you!
I cut my hair about two months ago as well and guess what, I want long hair now. Love your profile picture btw
Thank you so much! I’m growing mine out and I’ve done EVERYTHING WRONG for a year and a half ! My hair is super broken and I didn’t even consider it was the shampoo or the way I dry it ! Thank you so much
The hair journey is so fun and she's very beautiful ❤
Agree on the wet damage part. I was told by my stylist that leaving my scalp wet for long periods of time by air drying is also causing scalp issues. It'll also help us out since you like to shift side to side while sleeping, to share with us how you sleep with long hair. Eg. any updos or 'hacks' that you use. I'm battling with this issue as all updos and sleeping caps fall off while sleeping; causing more breakage.
Me and my scalp issues: *I blame my childhood under the dryer for this*
I needed this thank you! I went platinum 1,5 years ago and my hair was fine but af few months after I started accutane and it ruined my hair. I have been growing out my hair eversince and I want to grow it long again. I hope these tips will work
Wait accutane ruins your hair ?
@@jennifergonzalez4069 In some cases, because your scalp stops producing oil when on accutane > your hair becomes really dry > breakage. Keep in mind my hair was bleached & I used A LOT of heat on it. So if you take care of your hair it probably won’t happen to you
Such good tips! I have waist-length bleached hair, and I have always been lucky with it. My hair must be pretty indestructible. My hair cannot stand a pernm, though. It never breaks or gets split ends. I have gone on search-and-destroy missions throughout my life and found only a dozen split ends at most.
Two things will break my hair: permanent wave solution and hairspray! No split ends, just breakage. My hair is oily and requires washing every other night. Perhaps it is because of being oily that it stays in good condition. I don't know if it makes any difference, and I would love to hear from other people on this, but I am a natural redhead. I wonder if our hair is a little tougher. Thank you so much for this video because your tips are better than most of the so-called experts!👋🎀👍
When I went to college I basically never straightened my hair or used heat at all, but within the past year it’s gotten so much shorter. Definitely from braiding it so much lol, I’m glad my hair wasn’t just falling out
I had no idea about the damages of airdrying and how much more prone to damage wet hair is! Kinda realize now why my hair quality has been terrible the past years. Soooo glad you made this video!
This was so helpful Mei! I’m trying to grow my hair out and implementing all these tips now 💕ty so so much
Her hair is so beautiful
girl i literally spend 3 hours yesterday searching for a "pick me up" treat for my hair and looked up silk pillow cases, I def wish that I waited just one more day before I purchased mine! D:
Weeee another hair vid ! Always appreciate these since Ive had bleached hair for 3 years now ☆ thanks Mei❤
i have never appreciated my naturally healthy straight hair more than today, people talk about how they need to take these extra precautions but somehow ive never had a problem with my hair being too oily or having a lot of breakage ☺️☺️
If you live in a really warm climate and you have fine hair like me and it dres really fast, i don't think its essencial to blowdry it
However for people who live in cold and humid weather i think its an amazing tip and im surprised more people aren't talking about it
This colour looks beautiful on you Mei
wow the orange looks super fresh and unique on you!! can you try a two tone bangs and long hair look (like jennie) next so I can live vicariously through you please
My hair is as long as yours right now, but I, too, want to grow it longer. It used to be down to my waist but I ended up getting it cut shorter due to dead, split ends and also, quite frankly, getting tired of it getting caught between my ass crack LMAO BUT ALAS... I want it that long again!! I've been struggling though at 26 to have it grow back to that length so tbh your video really does help a lot for a few tips I never really thought to take into account like with the towel drying motions and such. My hair stylist also mentioned another way to help prevent dead ends on your hair is to treat it with a keratin hair mask or conditioner, as well as to be as gentle as you can with brushing. Here's hoping we both can grow our hair even longer. ♥
I’ve had a bob for two years now. I’m blessed that my hair grows fast, but I also suffer from trichotillomania. I’m hoping some of these tips can help me combat it and achieve my hair length goals!
thanks mei yan I need my hair to grow long and I love ur hairstyles so cute
I love your Style ❤️❤️❤️
oh wow! yet another hair video! i am not surprised at all
I have to be honest I didn't want to believe that I needed to actually dry my hair and not just let it air dry like I had been like the past year or so but in the last 6 months I caved in and got a hair dryer ! I've been blow drying after every wash (once every 5 days to be exact) and my hair is getting long and staying nice ! I also stopped dyeing my hair for 3 months so that I can fade the current color and its worked wonders :) ! so yea I'm grateful that one of the biggest points you shared was about how fragile hair is while it's wet and how air drying hair might be more counter productive !
Thank you for the tips! I went pastel pink last month and my hair has been so dry😭
Some people do condition, wash, condition. Maybe that would help you too. Good luck!. I bet that pastel pink hair is lovely in spite of it all.🌸
I have pastel pink and with good treatments it gets healthy again! :) Pastel pink is amazing, good luck with your hair 😊
Jill Teresa I’ll have to try it out :) thank you!
Isabella Isla Your hair looks gorgeous!! (assuming that’s you in your picture) Pastel pink is such a cute color
@@Ana-sy5jf I hope it helps!😊🌺
My hair dresser cut my almost mid chest length hair into a bob even though I told her that my length shouldn't be affected. And she cut off 5 inches and it's not a straight cut bob. Its an a line Bob and I hate it. I honestly don't know what to do about it. I'm so mad.
Try using hair accessories! Like hair pins and try very different hairstyles ! Like 90s Japanese hair styles are really good ! I’m sure that you look really cute ♡︎
you should be able to go back and get it fixed for free, i'd be pissed
Omg same...she cut off my bangs so short. Now I look like a coconut head 😫
Black Swan Edits NOOOOO😭😭 i’ve one did this so i decided to buy a bunch of hair accessories to cover that shitty bang of mine up .
I suggest you to buy hair pins and use it till your hair grows taller 😔👌🏻💕💓
@@IhateMyself-p6y Omg Thank you💜💜😭😭......I'll do it.😓👌
DANG your hair grows fast!!! Good genetics
I have curly hair and also bleached it so it takes forever to grow . thanks for these tips ^^
Omg, I love your dress!! 💕💕
its shocking how we have similar hair journeys, i cut my hair chin length two years ago, and now after 2 years!! my hair is about your length!!
same! But now I am SO tempted to shop it off again hahaha. short hair is such a vibe
@@Isabella-zu1lh fr!! do what u love!! im planning on letting it grow out, long hair suits my face way more :')
your hair grew crazy fast tf
Yayy~ your uploads make me so haps♡
Your hair is like a wig, it's so soft when you brushed it
i completely shaved my head completely bald in march, but my hair is growin back pretty fast!! im at like 2 1/2" rn but i think thats solely jus cause of genes.. only other factors i can think of that would be helpin is my silk pillow case n only washing my hair like every other 2 days or so... ive got a hair growth oil otw in the mail n we'll see if that actually helps w growth any lol
Im so jealous, my hair grow very slow, I started in 2016 to grow my hair from the same length you started, and now in 2021 I have reached the length you have now. 5 years >.< I want my hair to be even longer, I wish my hair grew as fast as yours. Its crazy how fast your hair grows
What's the best thing to do with your hair while sleeping? When it's not wet I mean.
Black girls, (im also black lol) we wrap our hair in satin scarfs, or use satin hair hats or even just satin pillow cases help because regular pillowcases and sheets are made from cotton and absorb a lot of the oil and due to the dryness+ friction that can lead to breakage. Im sure this can be beneficial to anyone
I recommend Bun
I’d actually recommend keeping it down, or maybe a loose ponytail/braids. A tight bun or ponytail can pull on your hairline a lot, especially if your a rough sleeper who rolls over often. Also, mars is definitely right about it being better for all hair types to use silk/satin pillowcases or caps.
one or two loose braids and a silk pillowcase will be your best friend!
I'm with @daydreamer. A loose bun that doesn't pull your hairline, and changing where you put it every night.
u made me wanna dye my hair green 😩😩 gonna try doing it next year once i research it more!!
Love u so much and keep going💗✨
I think people assume the fly aways at their partings is breakage, but it's actually brand new strands of hair (: we go through 3 stages of growth, we get the fly aways when our hair is rapidly replacing itself and growing faster. You can also tell the difference between this and breakage by the end of the strand, blunt is breakage and tapered is new.
Yes I'm a professional going on 7 yrs, hope this is atleast interesting 😅
I just use baby shampoo, i put some shampoo on my hand and massage my roots and massage my ends too! My hair is quite healthy, and for drying all I do is take my two hands and squeeze
i stim really bad and most of it is with my hair .... i rip it out, rub it all over my face and just brush my fingers through it constantly all day lol. i used to have really short hair so i couldnt do that but now i want to try to grow my hair really long... wish me luck!!!
your hair color w this dress is sooo cute 🥺
i've always had very long hair (butt-length, if not even more) then one day i came home and i was so tired of it i decided to cut it short (shoulder length), and while i actually prefer short hair look on me, i'm torn between cutting it again soon or letting it grow (it has grown a lot by now), because i feel like ever since i have short hair i have seen so many hairstyles i can no longer do...
this is the first time of my life i cut my hair that short but also the first time of my life i noticed how fast my hair grows... cat it in february and it has already grown by 10cm... these tips can really help for healthy hair! but the growth of your hair also really depends on genetics, i know a friend of mine just couldn't have long hair because no matter how much she took care of it, it ended up breaking all the time once it reached a certain length.. but as long as you take good care of it, it will look beautiful anyway!! know what your hair needs to be healthy, this is the most important!
I’m happy you made this video, I been doing a few things rightish but other things you mention I need to star. My hair is like a day event though 😂 so I need mental strength to do it.
omg where is your dress from? its so pretty :)
I think she got it from Dear Sisterhood! Its @dear_sisterhood on instagram
can you do a skincare routine pleaseee i love your skin so much its so nice
If you have really oily hair, what shampoo should you use?
My hair always feels icky with the kind of shampoo I use. I think I need to use the dandruff version because it helps with hair like mine.
Conditioner helps with the softness though.
An elderly woman lay across from me in a hospital bed. She had beautiful, long, hair. She was 90. She said she had never cut it and she only washed it once a month, using cornflour to soak up excess oil. I've tried it, it works. Check it out. Thanks for the video.
I'm currently trying to grow my hair longer so your video is super helpful and appreciated! I struggle with breakage a lot, hopefully I can do something about that with your tips~~
By hairdresser I would explain to you that you go to hair salon and cut all your breakage in one straight line, I know it is much. Than trim it every 3 months.
I love your hair vids!! Your short hair was my favorite 💞💞
Love your videos! Instantly subbed & you're so pretty. ❤️
P.s. I'm on my hair journey to achieve my hair goal length. 🌼 I cut my hair in Bob cut style and now it nearly reach my chest area. I'm personally feel so excited ❤️
gurl i love your voice so much 😭
my hair grows slower than a century-old tortoise. anything to help speed up the process 😂😂
i also have terribly slow hair growth. Make sure you are getting the right nutrition. Take a daily vitamin. Also HIGHLY recommend getting bloodwork done even if you "feel healthy." My boyfriend is the healthiest guy I know and he got bloodwork recently and found out that he was actually super deficient in magnesium and vitaD, which we never would have thought.
other than that, there's really nothing more we can do, unfortunately. Your hair will grow at its own pace; Minimize breakage as much as you can so that you can maintain the hair growth you get.
omggggg i didn't know that you and fernanda were friends!! 💖💖 love u both
Would it be ok to air dry your hair if you are not touching it, manipulating it, laying down...etc?
Question- my blow dryer has a cold setting what effects would it make on my hair?
Asian hair honestly just grows really fast and is so much stronger! My best friend has like a couple millimetre of roots after a few days of bleaching her hair (and shes bleached it pretty much fully multiple times, bleached all over 3 times in a row etc and its still on her head?), and it did grow an inch in a month once !! She cut it chin length and after a few months it was already to her collarbone while im doing everything to grow mine from that length/keep it healthy and her hairs almost the length as mine already even tho mine was longer to start!
It should also be mentioned that everyone's hair will grow to different lengths because of genetics. There's a limit to how long your hair will go. Some people's genetics will allow hair to grow to their knees and other people can't grow past their chest. Also, the older you get the slower your hair will grow and regenerate. Peak growth is ages 15-30 I believe!
My hair grows as fast as Mei's and I'm at this length now, when my goal was waist length, but now I'm so tempted to get a bob again ahhhhhh
You’re so pretty!
I have one more question. Do you use any type of oils for your hair? Like coconut or argan oil? 💕
Personally I want my hair to be SUPER long, like, down to my knees and I know that hair dye/bleaching doesn't allow the hair to grow as long sometimes so I'd dye my hair if it was that long... and then I'd cut some off to donate it after it's dyed my favorite colors
So beautiful with short hair
Do you sleep with your hair down or do you have any reccomendations for hairstyles when you like to keep your hair up but healthy when sleeping? ☺ thanks for the tips!
I see a lot of people recommending sleeping with a braid, I have been doing it for years and it does work, but sleeping in a scarf or a silk bonnet helps a lot, there is no freeze or friction happening in the sleep and then you wake up with nice waves as well! Black women has been doing this for ages.
about airdry... it s said that it is the other way around.. blowdry damages your hair but airdry just lets you to dry ur hair naturally... but i use blowdry generally cuz of my chemical traited hair in anyways lol...
Heyyy I have a huge question. What can I do if I workout everyday and sweat a lot? I don't want to shower daily heeelp
Please somebody give me an advice as well! I’m super disappointed I had long hair, with beautiful volume but I’ve decided to go blonde because I though I will look better with it. Sadly not just because of its maintenance the ash blonde hair didn’t look good on me and to keep it ash I used a lot of purple shampoo since my hair originally dark brown with many red pigments it always got yellow pretty quickly. My hair was completely silver at one point but I hated it. So I thought I will go back to brown but first I have to refill the pigments with red. So I went to a hairstylist again ( I did the blonde at the most expensive salon at my city but my hair was still pretty damaged even though I used everything from OLAPLEX and natural treatments as well, one hair wash was almost 30 minutes long) so I went back to another hairstylist who turned my hair this deep red/kinda orange but more like wine red colour and I after few wash it started fading and the blonde was there again. So I went to another salon, there a really professional and kind hairstylist tried to fix it for me with some bleach bath to get rid of the red and put brown at the top and just let the ends be blonde. But after few month my roots were my naturally dark brown, at the middle it was ginger and the bottom was yellow I was absolutely devastated and it was such in a poor condition that I cut it until neck length. At the end at home I could colour the bottom back to a natural brown which fits the top. It’s been 7 month and my hair still didn’t grow at all and it looks terrible from the breakage I try everything to keep it in a good condition but it’s like dry grass and my hair is originally straight so it has no volume but I’m too afraid to style it with my curling iron. Please somebody give me help I feel really bad with short hair, at least to make it look healthy. I tried rosemary oil recently also putting oil on my scalp and massaging it and I’ve got read of my chemical filled hair masks… what else can I do? Or is it possible that it will never ever grow back?
Thicker hair is much better but everyone can not control that
Glad I have thick hair
My hair naturally grows around 2-2,5cm per month and that's the reason why I stopped dying my hair 😩😩 I would have to touch up my roots every second week 😩😩 At the beginning of this year my hair was exactly 90cm long so I cut half of the length and within 5 months my hair is already 10cm longer 😅😅
Thank you so much for the tips
woah this was super helpful
I love your hair!! And thank you for your great tips! BUUUT: My best friend is asian as well and she has thick and healthy LONG hair like you... and I have a lot but super thin european hair... so... never will reach it :)
@@rachelbenchluch7586 If I put my hair into a ponytail... the tail is just two fingers thick. :)
question about the air drying. i've noticed that my hair is way less oily when i blowdry my scalp hair and let the rest airdry (also it has nice waves afterwards), this is actually a quite important to me since my hair gets oily super fast. i always stay inside then and the most damaging thing i'd probably do while airdrying is laying in bed. so would it be enough to protect them with a towel or something similar?
i do need to blow-dry too
I recommend using L'Oréal Ellnet heat protect spray
do you use anything specific for scalp? I am bleaching and dying my hair but I am fearful that with time it will damage my scalp so I am looking for a treatment to strenghten my scalp and hair to avoid hair loss and promote hair growth.
Her stylist does an offroot technique to bleach her hair, so it's a few cm away (her scalp doesn't get touched by bleach)
where is that dress from? so cute!
I could never manage to blow dry my hair when I tried, the air somehow makes my hair really frizzy so I stick to air drying because that’s what works best for me, also a tip that really helped me with my super damaged and frizzy hair was to find paraben and sulfate free shampoos that are moisturizing, also using things like deep conditioners and leave-in conditioners as well helped. When I started taking more cate of my hair it was after I made a huge mistake and bleached it 7 times in 7 weeks to try and get pink dye out and my hair was so damaged it stretched and broke. I went to the salon and they told me that if I had bleached it one more time my hair probably would have broken off close to the roots, so I started using specifically curly hair shampoos and conditioners and my hair started forming ringlets! It’s been 2 years now since that so let me tell you it is not a fast process in the slightest haha
you probably have naturally wavy/curly hair! x
Louise yeah haha it’s definitely not going to get any more curly for me
I love your top. May i know where it is from? I loved the video, thank you!
What shampoo do you use??
Anyone know where Mei's dress is from? It's so cute 🥺❤
I bleach my hair 😭😭😭 to get the base color to do fashion colors, there is no way they will ever grow this long or healthy, it’s also genetics , I feel good genes hair , no matter what you do , the hair lasts .
Not using so much movement when shampooing is so hard for me i dont feel like my hair is clean and go over it with more shampoo
Get yourself a shampoo brush. It's a little utensil that helps shampoo your scalp and hair, and it cleans everything really nicely
An inch a month actually is my hair growth tho 🙃 it makes it hard to keep shorter hair cuts. I just genetically have hair that grows too quick
I've had extremely fine, baby thin hair all my life and it makes me so sad 😞 I feel like the only thing I can do is protect it from damage at all times, never getting the chance to experiment with hairstyles or colors/dyes. I'm trying to grow it out as much as possible so the length can combat how thin it is, but growing it is taking such a long time 😵 (At least 5 years now!)
Wow. Don’t worry, it will grow! I feel so lucky to have hair that doesn’t grow too slow and isn’t too thick or to thin.
However, the good part about having thin hair is that it must be easy to comb! Sometimes, I can spend 45 minutes to an hour just brushing my hair.
This is such a good video 🤍 I will defo be using these tips. Does anyone know where her dress is from it’s so gorgeous
