Women also have to understand that genetics, taking medication such as birth control iron pills depression medication plays a major role in hair growth not to mention if you suffer from iron deficiency you will have a hard trying to grow hair💎🔥🙏🏾
If you are done with it why watch? There are people out there who don’t know hence the content is relevant to them. On another note: For products follow creators like curly chemistry. There are a lot of creators who talk about products for low porosity hair. Could also be that your hair is not fully clarified 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Regardless of porosity, use hair muds or a paste like Chebe powder. (Dries invisible.) They are like the thick waxy coat on plants that help them retain 90% of their water to thrive. Our ancestors used and still many african tribes with long ass hair use mud or paste because it maximizes water retention in their very, very dry environments. Hair is moisturized by water molecules. (Stop, minimize heat which destroys the molecules. Too much processing makes water molecules easier to escape broken hair cuticle and harder for products to help as well. Bleach ONCE a year, and use semi-permanents and color removers instead. Neither mess with your cuticle.) Hair butters help deposit water your hair loses throughout the day, the paste / mud & oil mix holds the water in. I went from dozens of products (wasted money,) to just 4. Yep 4 items. Water Chebe Powder + Rice Water Leave In by ORS (Olive Oil Brand) to form the paste Castor Oil - mixed in with paste Coconut Cowash (As I Am.) I co-wash each Sunday and re-apply the Chebe paste which moisturizes for 7 days. As muddy paste do, they trap water for a long time, then re-trap water when you shower from the steam or light misting. They DONT evaporate. Its very fine, solid matter in your hair which can't evaporate so it just keeps holding water all week. Some co-wash 2 weeks, but I prefer 1. I bought 120oz and an 8oz jar of the mix lasts 1.5 months. Chebe really brings out your curl pattern - I am speechless at these bouncy, springy 3C - 4A curls people pay natural salons for! My hair broke off at my collarbone all my life, and I am hitting armpit length for the first time. 18.5 inches of hair. The usual length of the expensive weaves I used to buy. Look, if it aint broke, don't fix it. The Motherland already has the instructions 💯
I'm on a hair journey and have tried many things and spent alot of money my problem areas are the hairline and crown thinning , I like what you explained with wat you use im gonna try your mask . Thank you
@@scottjones7689 Ah I think men have a little bit different going on with your hair follicles. Estrogen is what makes women's hair grow longer and thicker than men, and not to thin. Rosemary oil is extremely helpful on men's hair because it rebalances hormones in your scalp! That is a dermatologists report as well. Im trying it on my bf this month as he's starting to thin, to see how it works. Id def throw a thin layer of rosemary oil in on your hairline, message into your scalp every other day and follow up with ricewater cream + chebe oil mixture. You should only have to chebe once a week. I bout my chebe and ORS ricewater mix of amazon for 10.00. Men have a little different hair but hopefully yours starts to grow like crazy!
@@lottidabodi Wohoo good luck!! Be sure to steam your hair daily as you shower (dont cover it up!) Its a very au-natural routine, hope it works for you just as well ❤️
When I say out of the hundreds of videos, I’ve watched over the years of porosity. You literally just broke it down in less than a minute. This makes so much sense.
What does she mean when she says if it's smooth its low n if it's rough it's high, like does she mean what it feels like when she's rubbing it down, then that's how I determine the porosity, or does she mean what it looks like when she's rubbing the hair down?? I'm soo confused
the track adding to her hair doesn’t matter because the strand of hair she was stretching was hers, and it was long. Long, same length as the track. it doesn’t seem to be adding length just thickness. Just because your hair is long doesn’t mean it’s thick
All I do is box braids my hair , then wash it when I take it off after 2 months, my hair is very long. I use very cheap oil coconut. There’s no big formula.
I don't give af about porosity and know nothing about it cuz it's not important, finding the correct products that work for you is what's important, and asking somebody else what products to use isn't going to help you since everybody's hair is unique and nothing anybody else uses that works on them works on me
This is great for those not in the know but don't forget that most 4c haired people have more than 1 porosity because not every strand is the same. So really it should be a combination of products.
Im low porosity so I use warm water to open cuticles; then I moisturize the har seal and lock in moisturize with castor oil. My hair has grown past my shoulders. The young lady knows her stuff
The eetain length: either Keep your hair as stretched as possible (twists outs, braid outs, banding method) or just wear protective styles for long periods during the year
Honestly your hair type (coarse, medium or fine) is a better indicator of what you should know to choose better products for your hair. Sorry sis I’m just tired of hearing this because the full picture isn’t been given. Most products if not all never mention porosity so🤷🏾♀️
Rule of thumb: low porosity more water-based mists. high porosity more thicker lotions and creams. I need to moisturise my hair twice a day because it's naturally high porosity due to genetics and altered due to bleach and dye. So even though I have fine hair, i can use more products than most people with low porosity. There are exceptions to the rule but it's a starting point and then doing trial and error. I kept a hair diary to figure it out the first 5 years I was natural. My hair likes shea butter, aloe vera and behentrimonium methosulfate. Glycerin, coconut oil and essential oils are hit or miss depending on the formulation and what ever the weather is doing out side. My hair eats protein for breakfast and can handle way more protein than low-porosity people. My hair can be happy without styling products like gels, mousse and edge control....they are surplus and only need once a week. You have to know the 4 or 5 characteristics for most of your hair. So I have ultra-fine, high porosity, high density, 4c pen spring coils. I also have a sensitive scalp so I can't use raw oils and butter and grease so I no longer seal with these products.
@@marleyhill34Thank you for taking the time to type this! I notice that you said, high porosity hair needs heavier creams, but what if you have fine, low density hair that is high porosity? Sorry if this question comes off as confusing.
@@melaninmagic8742 no it's not confusing. You would use more of the mist leave in twice a day but at night add a small bit of the watery lotion-like leave-in on the middle to ends staying sway from the roots so you still have volume.
Hi, which specific brands do you use for the products? Does the Chebe have a strong smell? How do you style your hair afterwards? I'm trying 2 strand twists and flat twists. Thank you for your help.
Maintain protective hairstyles❤ Stay away from tight hairstyles❤ Waer a bonnet❤ Trying styling your hair with water ❤Oil❤ Heavy creams❤ Avoid heat Trims,Trim, trim, TRIM your hair❤ I love your vids sis. Everyone is giving some criticism so i added some tips Ig. I think we're all confused about what to do if we have a specific porosity so here are my tips.
This girl is looking gorgeous, the hair😍 and this color 10/10 (both hair and clothes 💚) So annoyed that people are pointing out the tracks... clearly she's not trying to hide it... Her natural hair underneath is long and healthy as she shows by the strand she pulls out...tracks help for volume, density add a touch of colour...I mean com'on people be for real...
I went back to grease + gel, coconut oil + gel, or raw shea butter on soaked hair and finally Im getting some length retention. I use olive oil with all my conditioners and rinse my hair well before I add the products. Leave in conditioner is used sometimes but rarely. I feel my ends need to be extra greasy to retain length. I try to add olive oil or mayo prepoo before I shampoo every other week. Sometimes I even mix shea butter and grease and sometimes I even use vaseline. If anything feels too greasy, I put consitioner on top and let it dry.
I have high porosity hair and always found it difficult to retain moisture. Hair breakage along with frizz was an issue and it made my hair impossible to manage. I knew my hair porosity, but i needed to know what would work best for it and learned humectants are the way to go. Seen that honey humectant would work and remembered i had some Camille Rose honey leave in conditioner that i bought 3yrs earlier in my hair junk box lol i didn't like the texture so i avoided it then... Huge mistake. Once i put some gloves on, sprayed my hair with fresh water and mixed the Camille Rose honey with cantu leave in conditioner IT WAS LIKE MAGIC. My hair retains so much moisture and length now. I don't use nothing else in my hair and can go an entire month without having to reapply products. That Camille Rose honey saved my hair like that, the Cantu and water are like the holy trinity for me. My curls/ coils stay popping and are juicy
A good natural hairstylist will tell you porosity doesn't matter. Keep it simple, get your grease, oil and water. Alternate, clarifying, and your normal shampoo.
Thank you so very very very much because most people think they are low porosity because their hair doesn't absorb water quickly.... PLEASE WASH THE OILS OFF FIRST, as this young lady also advised 😊,then determine your porosity 😊😊😊 Now, I can breathe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When I was low porosity- product with cetearyl alcohol as the second ingredient, water as the first, then seal with real (ivory colored) Shea butter. My hair HATES olive oil, so I avoided anything with olive oil in it. Learn what works for you and take note of the ingredients on the back. Good luck.
Ladies. If you have type 4 hair, its 'high porosity'. You need products that are thicker and oil.... better if you use grease 😮 YES, grease. Twist it up for a few weeks. Wash with a sulfate shampoo, use a thick cream and top off with oil... or grease. Leave twists in for 3-4 weeks. Pro tip... add a little cream and add oil/grease to end when they feel dry. My hair is mid back and growing. Youre welcome ❤ Edit: Protein treatments every month or every other months are necessary along with deep conditioning after twists come out. Again, KEEP YOUR HAIR IN MINI TWISTS OR BRAIDS NO EXTENSIONS. Your hair will grow!
I honestly think you need to just make sure you’re using moisturizing products , having a consistent wash routine (whether it’s weekly , biweekly , whatever you think works best) , trimming as needed , & not manipulating your hair in between washes . the game changer for me was really washing every week . Ik that doesn’t work for everyone but don’t knock it til you try it cuz you never know that might be what you need . I also just started using botanical products which I think helps w/the overall health of your hair & essentially the growth .
what’s your hair type im a 3b 4a with high porosity really thick almost armpit length hair. it’s been like that my whole life basically and i really want it to grow out longer. i have definitely washed after one week before but not often due to the “don’t over manipulate your hair or don’t wash every week” comment.
You can also test your porosity, take a clean strand and place into a glass of water, if it floats, it's low, in the middle, it's average, if it sinks, you've high porosity.
Y’all if u have a big family that eats rice just ask to keep the rice water and use that in your hair let the rice sit for like a day then add it to you hair every wash day this will encourage your hair to grow 😊 coming from a family of 7 ( including me ) we use a lot of rice and A lot of rice water gets waisted Edit: Honestly You don’t even need to have a big family but if you eat rice then try this
Ok yeah I know my porosity but what do I do with it, that’s like me saying “I know the trick to getting abs in one day… you just need to know that you a stomach and that’s all” like dude just tell me how💀
Hey y'all, I use 3 things on my hair no... wait 4 #1 pray #2 rice water #3 mega growth product line & #4 Viviscal vitamins 2x a day. This is my go to. This is what I believe God for and my hair is absolutely beautiful. God bless ❤️
@@pengu606 ,nope,I know her and have been following her,the front is her natural hair but the back is extensions!,you can ask her.She does however have long natural hair.
Thank you Sis, my hair isn't clean now so I can't do this...but I've done the sink or float test and I thought that my hair was low porosity 🙃 Yet, I feel like if I did what you just described my hair would test High porosity 🙂 Can't wait til Washday 😍 Ty
If you are of black descent, your hair porosity is more than likely to be high porosity. High porosity is very common in black people because our hair is very fragile when stretched or blown dry. high porosity hair usually goes hand-in-hand with curly wavy in Afro hair. When under a microscope a black person cuticles vs high porosity they look the same thus how scientist lab are able to identify the race based on the hair cuticles left at the crime scene.
But I am low porosity and have never had heat 🔥 on my hair since birth. I feel like it's also common to see low porosity but I appreciate the different view points😊
Yes know ur porosity and choose the right products for your hair and have a good hair routine. Minimise too much product use . U just need holy grail shampoo +(clarify shampoo)conditioner + leave in + thermal protection if using heat, oil or serum
Unfortunately me doing exactly what you said doesn’t help. Me determining if it’s smooth or rough is completely relative and not objective. I can reason and say my hair is smooth but it’s actually rough and vise verse because there is nothing to compare it to
I did a big chop in September 2023, and I got my husband to measure my hair and I've only grown three inches as of today. But I got three more months to round up to a year, so hopefully those extra 3 inches will come in lol
The Juneberry Hair Produkt is SOOOO Good . I tried it and my Hair has been moisturised ever since ive tried that Produkt. You can try that one for your hair
It has nothing to do with the length of her hair, it has to do with the facts of what she is explaining as porosity. All you need to do is focus on your hair.. It's a fact that black women who moisturize and condition their hair appropriately have long hair.. But I suppose you don't have anything better to do than to be rude towards someone sharing some information.
It's called protective styling with a leave out. It's not that deep when there is content on her channel showing her hair, and this video is about porosity.
For the immature and ignorant people that have no sense...... There are so many women growing their hair down to their butts and longer. She's telling you about porosity and you're talking about, she got tracks in the back...HATERS what a disgrace to the race
A lot of women have grown their hair out to their butts?? Really?? I'm 54, and I can think of ONE woman in my entire life who has ever been able to do that! It has nothing to do with hating on this girl, it has to do with her misrepresenting what her hair really is!
Woman also understand especially with natural hair i have natural hair too and it grows fast i have fast growing hair too have to remember that as well
@@L0ve.intl3 My hair grew an inch this past month (well, slightly over an inch in less than a month). My best advice is do cardio (you can do cardio dance workouts if you don't like running). Also try doing the inversion method for a week right after you are done doing the cardio workout (do cardio daily for the same week you try the inversion method). Do this only if you are physically able to (you don't have to add oil...this method can still work w/o applying oil to the hair or scalp).
Know ur porosity and study what products h need and styles u should be doing. Also pay attention when it actually grows so u can figure out why u retained the length. Ur ends have to be babied.
Genetics and Epi-genetics. How your hair responds to its environment and how much stress are you exposed too. stress can come from diet and over use of hair products
Those who do not want to know about porosity should maybe find the hair video you're looking for😉. It's obvious this lady has long hair and wear tracks. Im sure she was very aware her track was showing... she is a content creator
Back in the day, there was no damn such thing as porosity, and my momma used water, blue magic, a bristle brush, and a hot comb, and my hair grew waist length and thick. This "natural hair community" is a joke.
Women also have to understand that genetics, taking medication such as birth control iron pills depression medication plays a major role in hair growth not to mention if you suffer from iron deficiency you will have a hard trying to grow hair💎🔥🙏🏾
True

Genetics and tracks
I am so sick of the porosity talk. Okay my hair doesn’t absorb moisture well. How many times do people need to hear this. What products are best
If you are done with it why watch? There are people out there who don’t know hence the content is relevant to them.
On another note:
For products follow creators like curly chemistry. There are a lot of creators who talk about products for low porosity hair.
Could also be that your hair is not fully clarified 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Maybe look up “products for low porosity hair” instead of whatever you’re looking up cause it’s obviously not working
Lol seeing her track line at the beginning made me chuckle tho
Products with water or aqua as the first few ingredients
Google is literally free bozo
Regardless of porosity, use hair muds or a paste like Chebe powder. (Dries invisible.) They are like the thick waxy coat on plants that help them retain 90% of their water to thrive.
Our ancestors used and still many african tribes with long ass hair use mud or paste because it maximizes water retention in their very, very dry environments.
Hair is moisturized by water molecules. (Stop, minimize heat which destroys the molecules. Too much processing makes water molecules easier to escape broken hair cuticle and harder for products to help as well. Bleach ONCE a year, and use semi-permanents and color removers instead. Neither mess with your cuticle.) Hair butters help deposit water your hair loses throughout the day, the paste / mud & oil mix holds the water in.
I went from dozens of products (wasted money,) to just 4. Yep 4 items.
Water
Chebe Powder + Rice Water Leave In by ORS (Olive Oil Brand) to form the paste
Castor Oil - mixed in with paste
Coconut Cowash (As I Am.)
I co-wash each Sunday and re-apply the Chebe paste which moisturizes for 7 days.
As muddy paste do, they trap water for a long time, then re-trap water when you shower from the steam or light misting.
They DONT evaporate. Its very fine, solid matter in your hair which can't evaporate so it just keeps holding water all week.
Some co-wash 2 weeks, but I prefer 1.
I bought 120oz and an 8oz jar of the mix lasts 1.5 months.
Chebe really brings out your curl pattern - I am speechless at these bouncy, springy 3C - 4A curls people pay natural salons for!
My hair broke off at my collarbone all my life, and I am hitting armpit length for the first time. 18.5 inches of hair.
The usual length of the expensive weaves I used to buy.
Look, if it aint broke, don't fix it. The Motherland already has the instructions 💯

Ladies. If you have type 4 hair, its 'high porosity'. You need products that are thicker and oil.... better if you use grease 😮 YES, grease. Twist it up for a few weeks. Wash with a sulfate shampoo, use a thick cream and top off with oil... or grease. Leave twists in for 3-4 weeks. Pro tip... add a little cream and add oil/grease to end when they feel dry.
My hair is mid back and growing. Youre welcome ❤
Edit: Protein treatments every month or every other months are necessary along with deep conditioning after twists come out. Again, KEEP YOUR HAIR IN MINI TWISTS OR BRAIDS NO EXTENSIONS. Your hair will grow!
Incorrect. Porosity isn’t based on hair type at all.
I honestly think you need to just make sure you’re using moisturizing products , having a consistent wash routine (whether it’s weekly , biweekly , whatever you think works best) , trimming as needed , & not manipulating your hair in between washes .
the game changer for me was really washing every week . Ik that doesn’t work for everyone but don’t knock it til you try it cuz you never know that might be what you need . I also just started using botanical products which I think helps w/the overall health of your hair & essentially the growth .
what’s your hair type im a 3b 4a with high porosity really thick almost armpit length hair. it’s been like that my whole life basically and i really want it to grow out longer. i have definitely washed after one week before but not often due to the “don’t over manipulate your hair or don’t wash every week” comment.
Washing my hair got my hair to almost middle of back. Mind you last year it was to my ears.
You can also test your porosity, take a clean strand and place into a glass of water, if it floats, it's low, in the middle, it's average, if it sinks, you've high porosity.
Really sweet. Thank you. By the way…. Your GORGEOUS!!!!! ❤❤❤

Yep I noticed that lol
And?? Her real hair was healthy and long..
You can do it with wetting the hair to if it takes forever it’s low if it drenches fast it’s high 😊
Not true, one you can have multiple porosities and two all porosities need moisture (from water) & low manipulation.
The science is so useful for the black curly hair style...
Yes! 😳The information I need 😮💨 finally.... THANKS YOU 🎉
Thank you so much for this information
I love love love that blouse 😍
Right! It’s so cute. I need it 😍
So beautiful and lovely the texture looks gorgeous ❤ is this all your natural hair or wig ?
Ok yeah I know my porosity but what do I do with it, that’s like me saying “I know the trick to getting abs in one day… you just need to know that you a stomach and that’s all” like dude just tell me how💀
Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤
You could see the tracks when she bends down
Hey y'all, I use 3 things on my hair no... wait 4 #1 pray #2 rice water #3 mega growth product line & #4 Viviscal vitamins 2x a day. This is my go to. This is what I believe God for and my hair is absolutely beautiful. God bless ❤️
Rice water is what I use
Was wondering about this very thing then got sidetracked and forgot to look it up. One of the few times I really appreciate fyp.👍🏼🤷🏼
Which extensions are you wearing?,looks amazing!
That’s natural hair lmao
@@pengu606 ,nope,I know her and have been following her,the front is her natural hair but the back is extensions!,you can ask her.She does however have long natural hair.
@@pengu606 also look at the top of her head you see the tracks!
@@pengu606You don't see those tracks in the back of her head? She probably wears tracks to get more volume because her hair is already long.
What is her name
Thank you Sis, my hair isn't clean now so I can't do this...but I've done the sink or float test and I thought that my hair was low porosity 🙃 Yet, I feel like if I did what you just described my hair would test High porosity 🙂 Can't wait til Washday 😍 Ty
If you are of black descent, your hair porosity is more than likely to be high porosity. High porosity is very common in black people because our hair is very fragile when stretched or blown dry. high porosity hair usually goes hand-in-hand with curly wavy in Afro hair. When under a microscope a black person cuticles vs high porosity they look the same thus how scientist lab are able to identify the race based on the hair cuticles left at the crime scene.
Thank youu❤
But I am low porosity and have never had heat 🔥 on my hair since birth.
I feel like it's also common to see low porosity but I appreciate the different view points😊
Your hair is beautiful 😍
What I want to figure out is where is that wig frooooom because it’s gorgeous omg
Yes know ur porosity and choose the right products for your hair and have a good hair routine. Minimise too much product use . U just need holy grail shampoo +(clarify shampoo)conditioner + leave in + thermal protection if using heat, oil or serum
Her track is showing!!
Unfortunately me doing exactly what you said doesn’t help. Me determining if it’s smooth or rough is completely relative and not objective. I can reason and say my hair is smooth but it’s actually rough and vise verse because there is nothing to compare it to
I did a big chop in September 2023, and I got my husband to measure my hair and I've only grown three inches as of today. But I got three more months to round up to a year, so hopefully those extra 3 inches will come in lol
OMG what book is this and where can I find it? This is so interesting to me esp cuz I’m considering going into cosmetology 😮❤
See the front of your hair? The part in the front. Its thinning. That’s common and I wish there was a solution you could share.
Where can I get this book?
The Juneberry Hair Produkt is SOOOO Good . I tried it and my Hair has been moisturised ever since ive tried that Produkt. You can try that one for your hair
Where can I find this book!!!
lol this video made me laugh and smile at the same time ❤
I mean that’s cool and all but you have like 70% tracks in yo head how we supposed to know if that’s ur actual lenght 💀
Because she pulled up the part that is real 🤦🏾♀️
Cause she pulled it from the leave out..lol
It has nothing to do with the length of her hair, it has to do with the facts of what she is explaining as porosity. All you need to do is focus on your hair.. It's a fact that black women who moisturize and condition their hair appropriately have long hair.. But I suppose you don't have anything better to do than to be rude towards someone sharing some information.
@@Lashamalayaor did she? 😂
@PlusVK22 well yea. It's quite obvious. Like you can see it right there in the part 😌
6 inches!? Thats like 2 months for me lol. Im definitely gonna look into porosity
I have that same book.
You can literally see the hair color difference……yall really be scamming ppl
You can also see the tracks at the very beginning, but maybe she just wanted fullness. idk
Her hair is long❤️😍 but if u look closely you also see that she has extensions in?!💀
Beautiful
❤
i need that hair book
See her weave tracks behind the strand of hair. Everyone hair is different. What works for you may not necessarily work for everyone
See your ignorance and envy
Are you really that ignorant
Oh Mistakenly replied to your ignorant comment twice not realizing I had already countered it once That's how stupid it was.
Listening to this makes me feel like a biology major
Lol just here for the comments
I'm going to try this porosity thing out
Guys u literally have to experiment to know what exactly works for you
She has tracks in her hair.
False advertisement
She has it in the back of her hair, the front is her leave out. Y’all mfs be dumb as hell like y’all don’t know what hair looks like.
Yes, her roots don’t match the rest of her hair.
It's called protective styling with a leave out. It's not that deep when there is content on her channel showing her hair, and this video is about porosity.
For the immature and ignorant people that have no sense...... There are so many women growing their hair down to their butts and longer. She's telling you about porosity and you're talking about, she got tracks in the back...HATERS what a disgrace to the race
A lot of women have grown their hair out to their butts?? Really?? I'm 54, and I can think of ONE woman in my entire life who has ever been able to do that! It has nothing to do with hating on this girl, it has to do with her misrepresenting what her hair really is!
Girl i love your hair! Details please.
Woman also understand especially with natural hair i have natural hair too and it grows fast i have fast growing hair too have to remember that as well
Me who grew 4 inches of hair in 6 months:
Tip please😭🙏
@@L0ve.intl3 My hair grew an inch this past month (well, slightly over an inch in less than a month). My best advice is do cardio (you can do cardio dance workouts if you don't like running). Also try doing the inversion method for a week right after you are done doing the cardio workout (do cardio daily for the same week you try the inversion method). Do this only if you are physically able to (you don't have to add oil...this method can still work w/o applying oil to the hair or scalp).
@@L0ve.intl3 genetics and protective styling. My hair breaks easily due to genetics. It grows but retaining the length is difficult.
@@ev6564 Sounds like bullshit tips
I literally saw a part of the extension at the beginning of the video 😂
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the content... new sub here❤
I love your hair natural beauty
My hair won’t grow because I won’t stop touching it. I’m on a ✨protective style journey✨ ✋🌈🤚
What are some shampoos for low
porosity hair
Are those highlights in your hair or your natural color??? Whichever, it is very pretty!🤎
It grow 6 to 12. Some people hair grows 1/2 inch some grows 1 inch. You need to keep retention of hair.
Know ur porosity and study what products h need and styles u should be doing. Also pay attention when it actually grows so u can figure out why u retained the length. Ur ends have to be babied.
They used your clip to make a fake viola davis ad for hair growth oil. Not sure if you saw yet.
Use tha grease ladies❤❤❤
What hair color did you use on your hair? It looks like a brown . I’d like to try it please
I never thought to read a book about hair and it’s complicities
Genetics that's the answer I'm sorry
Genetics is only part of the story. If the hair is not looked after correctly, you will still experience dryness, breakage and heat damage
genetics is a small part of it . if you’re not taking care of your hair , you’re not going to retain length period .
Genetics and Epi-genetics. How your hair responds to its environment and how much stress are you exposed too. stress can come from diet and over use of hair products
Genetics only play a part in how fast your hair grows not how long
it's really not ..
She has tracks (hair extensions) but as you can see, her real hair is just as long as the weave lol
Those who do not want to know about porosity should maybe find the hair video you're looking for😉. It's obvious this lady has long hair and wear tracks. Im sure she was very aware her track was showing... she is a content creator
Back in the day, there was no damn such thing as porosity, and my momma used water, blue magic, a bristle brush, and a hot comb, and my hair grew waist length and thick. This "natural hair community" is a joke.

Exactly 💯💯💯. Everyone and y'all's family always stay blessed and healthy ✝️🙏🛐🕊️
