The Aaliyah reference 😅😂
Yessssss 😂❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😅😂😂😂😂😂
So well done😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got braids in now and fully expect my new growth to be down my back 😂😂😂
😂😂My natural hair is @ my breast. (Length). Braids are convenient. Let's be honest, some people have such thin hair....the braider is braiding on their "thoughts!" They're not for everyone. Take care of your own hair no matter the protective style. ❤
Okkkkk
Ok girl. Imma keep hope alive with you 😂!
As it should my Sister!😂
Not Keep Hope Alive!! 😂😂
Just remember to wash and condition your hair, while wearing them.
Yes, and moisturizing (not just oiling the scalp). People skip these steps and it’s why they’re not seeing maximum length retention.
Yes I moisturize and wash and condition and I have seen growth vs the first time. My hair is also softer when I take my braids out
I remember telling someone this, and she was shocked and looking at me like I was crazy. I said, "Girl, what are you doing after you swim?" I took that example because that would be the one that would hit the hardest. Everyone knows you GOT to get that chlorine out your hair......so you are just letting it stay there, GIRL BYE 😂😂. From then on, she started to wash and condition her hair in braids. I hope she is also spreading the healthy braids word. ❤
That is probably why my hair had dreaded up and was a bit past my shoulders after I removed the them( I was around 8yo at the time).
@@indiaharden6117 remember if you know of anyone who has matted hair or want to remove locs. Use a good conditioner. Leave it in a little while. It will begin to soften up the hair. You can totally save and detangle.
😂😂 as I sit here with 2 months old braids. I better see some inches!!
Helllloooooo!!!!❤
Same!!!
😂😂😂
Exactly 😂
Ikr, like we tired. We just want long hair without doin all that.
Like tf we look like needing to twist hair, moisturize,comb, detangle, part, retwist, wash, condition, seal. All that mess all the time to try and get growth. Because "it's gone break".
Tf, betta braid that ish up and just walk away. It betta grow. Ain't nothing stopping it. I'm leaving it be. It has one job.... GROW .
Or be like me. Do some ciely twists. And slap a wig on. Outta here I'm tired. Hair should not take this much energy to grow.
At least the bald sistas don't have to deal with this. It's wash day?
No it's not I ain't got no hair😂, life too short. And my patience is shorter. That's why I got no hair ☠️.
I'm not going to lie. I really want to grow my hair out into a huge fro. But I don't like the maintenance that our hair needs. sometimes my inner voice says
" You know most of this could all be fixed if you just cut your hair down to like 6 inches. And call it a day. Wash day going to be nothing more than like 40 minutes. With virtually no detangling"... 🤣. It's tempting.... It really is.
😂😂😂yesss. Can't tell us that our hair didn't grow in those braids
😂
I have braids in now 😂. I'm in my second week. It IS growing, tf? 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
It is sis... it is 😂😂
Yes ma’am 😂😂😂
AND IS sis!!
😂😂😂Doooooooooo nottttttttt-“🎤🎵UP A LITTLE BIT MORE”!!! Ughhh, the way I am your TARGET AUDIENCE, smh. It just blows my mind, every👏🏾 time👏🏾!
😂😂😂😂 💀💀💀💀🤯🤯😂
Listen…I need you to stay outa my business Ej!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Yesss, I cut low…knowing good and well……😂
"I dont care about the growth, I care about my brain." That's me right there, LOl!!!!
Not the 4-page letter reference and you telling me to my face to cut higher!!!😆😆😆But facts!💯
How I screamed when she referenced four page letter. 😅❤😂🔥🙌🏾
My hair grew with my braids, but, I probably had it for decades. Then I had locs, my hair grew so quickly. Now, I'm back to how I wore my hair in the 1960s, AFRO.
Yeeeees...😂😂😂...You better Preach, Sis....That"s why my hair is loc'd for 17 years now.....all the way down past my thighs. I was tired of beat the top of my head when them jokas got ta itching...lol 😂❤
Yes! Locs have been good to me.
Same! 🙋🏿♀️
Yes! Locs were the best thing I ever did for my hair and life.
Same. My hair is in the middle of my back loc'd for 7 years going on 8. My hair has neeeeeeeever been this long nor healthy.
Same! Loc'd and never looking back ❤
Listen! My 'wrap' grew so long after my two strand twist extensions( in college)....I left them in for a bit. I went natural after that because it grew thick and long.....I have been chasing waterfalls ever since. 😂 The thickness and length retention said no ma'am.....that was a season. Let's move on.......let go and let God.😂
Listen!! There is NOTHING too hard for God! He did it once He can do it again!! HallelujER 🙌🏼🙌🏼 😂🤣
The sad part is that the new growth is so dehydrated, after being in braids for months, that it breaks off.
My hair.
That part. People neglect their hair when it's in braids. And by "people," I mean me. I'm so guilty of that.
Gotta moisturizeeee
@@mosunshine9265Right! EVERY DAY
😂!! Yes and what also gets me is we be thinking the new growth is sliding down in the braid. HOW??
The new growth is the loose hair at the scalp above the braid. Y'all welcome 😊❤
THIS PART!!😂
The Aaliyah song reference! LOLOLOLOLOL
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️: FAMILY: As a licensed cosmetologist, PLEASE stop leaving these ‘protective styles’ in for an extended period of time! It is counterproductive!!!!!!!!!‼️💯…. That is all 💜 #MoreHair
Facts! The expectation of growth in my mind don't be matching the actual results😂😂😂😂
Right OMG
Girl I took the braids out the next day
I woke up looking 👀 like a chocolate cabbage patch kid. Head was swole OMG 😂😂😂
For real, dang
Sis, there was no lie in this message.
The way I hollered 😂😂😂! You're a mess whew!
I be so scared to cut my natural hair because it’s long but yeah we all cut way too low knowing our hair stops at a certain length.
Your hair grows about 1/2 inch per month.
A 30in bust down AFTER the braids come out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Steam your braids ladies and clean scalp with apple cider vinegar just soak cotton pad and wipe scalp with it then lightly oil with castor oil and youll see the inches and healthy hair on takedown.
Ooohh, I'll try that!!! I usually do the cleaning pad with a cleanser but never steamed them.
@@elenam9435 i just use my face steamer. So simple. You’re welcome.😌
I like when she breaks out into a laugh mid-way through her talk 😂
1:02 Ok, Español! 😂😂😂
I am a teen of the 90s, a strong supporter of that braided life, 3.5 years natural, and I approve this message!!!! Lololol
The way I just HOLLERED @ Aaliyah "4 Page Letter" reference Just told everyone I'm not working!!!
The longest I've kept mine in was 3 months, and I ended up with some involuntary locs 😭
gerl, moisturizing is what started working for me. I spray my little concoction at the roots twice a week (sometimes more if I'm nasty😜), and greeeez that scalp!!! Problem is, my new growth starts getting puffy (standin' on bizness😂) and rebraiding becomes necessesary...I aint mad at it tho! As always, great vid EJ. Be safe, be kind and all the best to you friend!
You're toooo young if you dont get the AALIYAH reference IMMEDIATELY!! LMAO The trick ladies is length RETENTION not just the growth. Your hair is always growing out the scalp, but if it is not retained it will seem the same length. People always ask me what I do do get my hair to grow past bra length. Its not the growth that matters, its the retention. But then when I tell them what i do, they say that's too much work. Duh, of course it takes work!
Girl!! Now all I can think about is: Mmmmmomma always told me to be careful who I love🎶
Right 😂😂😂
And daddy always told me make sure he's right 👩🏾🎤
6 months!?!? Max for me is 3.
However, I am not one to be that delulu😂😂😂. While I have them on, I take Biotine and Zinc vitamins. It helps a lot with them extra inches we dream about!!!😂😂😂😂
Fenugreek seeds in a spray bottles and add some rosemary. Spray it and oil your scalp.
El rapido........🏃🏾♀️
Translate to English 😂😭
@@BrightestLight5Were you paying attention? EJ said it in the video. 😂😂
Why are we like thiiiiissss??? 😂😂😂
Up a little bit more is so accurate and hard to accept!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
You don’t even know how long I kept my cornrows in during the pandemic… 😱
At least you had cornrows sis. My crazy self didn’t even bother. My head looked like the back or side of most infants head when it started. Then I just two strand twisted. I saw a lot of growth! 😅
I remember freaking out about the amount of shedding like I really thought I was going bald. But yes, we do think that braids are going to make our hair grow 30 inches 😂❤
😂 first off… yes mine is growing under these crochet braids 😂 and the proof is my chunk of unfortunate hair I cut off by accident trying to get them out 😢😂
Hope springs eternal!😂
😂 I don't care about growth. .. I care about ... my brain 🤣😂😅
Braids be having my hair grow so good I be a whole new person when I take them down and wear my natural lol. Now if I could stop being so scissor happy
Now every time I take down my braids ima be singing 4 page letter. You did that part so well!!!❤❤❤
0:50 Not you tarrying for rapid hair growth 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 at the Aaliyah reference.
In my almost 30 years of being back to natural, what I have learned about wearing braids is that MY hair loves being in cornrows. It grows best that way. So I do a lot of styles that way. My favorite these days are crochet styles, which have cornrows as the base. My hair grows A LOT in these styles. And I read in the comments where someone said keep the scalp clean and moisturized. Yep. I use apple cider vinegar/water mixture on cotton balls when my hair and go through my scalp to clean it.
If you are not moisturizing your hair in those braids, your hair may not be growing. I kept mine washed and moisturized. I made sure to lock in the moisture when I had my hair braided too. When I took them out, I had an additional 6 inches of hair growth. My stylist (my aunt) was in complete shock and so was I. It could have been the products I was using. I don't know. But my hair tends to grow a lot when it's braided.
My daughter’s hair is like that too. My hair grows too, so if she has 6, I’ll see 4 and a half inches.
So does mine. 😊
Sis said "up a little bit more" AHAAA💀💀💀
Not JUST the AALIYAH reference BUT the Code Switch🕶️💄🖤... She was Giving Aaliyah for just that moment!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The sound effects WEAKENED me! I love me some EJ! 😂🤣😂🤣
30 inches when we done! Had me hollerin'!
😂😂😂😂....the expectation is UNREAL!!! 😂😂😂😂
Somebody put EJ on punishment, the way i just SCREAMED with that...turn my music up😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes!! A long perioliloqwee time is correct 😂😂
😂😂
You looking real good sis.
I just had to pause this vid to let you know EJ: YOU MADE ME SPIT MY WINE OUT!! Talkin about "up some more, up a lil more" I can't stand you 🤣💀☠😭😭😭🤣🤣
That periodically time always sends me😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
YES!😂😂😂😂😂
BayBayy!!! When I tell you..... I be thinking I look like Pocahontas but in that mirror it's giving Fantasia 😂😂😂 This is Hilarious!!!
You ain't never lied im cracking up laughing. Thinking you started out with 10 inches and 6 months it going to turn into 30 inches. Nooooot😂😂😂
1:34 ❤ I LOVE THAT intro!!!!! Yassssssss - great song from high school times!!!
Ma’am I fell OUT at “periloloquei time”…😂😭😭
The snail growth is down right disrespectful 😂
I stopped getting braids and my hair is the longest it ever has been. Protective styles like two strand twists is key.
😂😂😂it's explaining the hair growth process for me😂😂
1:42 HOLLERING 😂 and that song had my girl delulu too 😭😂!
When I was about 8 my mom had put braids in my hair. They stayed in for about 2-3 months. When we took them out my hair had dreaded up. So I kept my dreads for 7.5 years after that. I cut them the summer before 10th grade
I've seen faux locs grow hair and French braids/cornrolls, but not box braids for extended periods lol
I'M HAAAAAAALORIIIIIIIIIN at Aliyah turn my music up.
⚰️🤣⚰️😂⚰️🤣⚰️🤣⚰️🤣⚰️
Taking mine down, lots of time consuming work, had micro braids; nice LONG break, that's always been my primary purpose for braiding my hair and I like how braids look, HOWEVER, when the period of up keep arrives, you're constantly braiding, cause there's always a loose one!
In the thumbnail it looks like you have a box haircut with the blonde streak in the front. 😂 My 90's brain 😂
I truly get braids so I dont have to mess with my hair for extended periods of time. But that growth is a lovely bonus. It seems to grow faster after a big chop though
😂 This is so true. I've actually dreamt multiple times over the years when i had braids in that my hair would be down to my lower back when the braids were taken down. Life is cruel
There's a lot of maintenance that comes with having braids to keep hair moisturizer & scalp oil. Tight braids put stress on hair root 😮
I thought Ej had a box fade in the opening ( the pic behind her)😂😂😂😂😊
My lawd🤦🏿♀️the braid stories we have....just scheduled an appointment for some more. 😂
As someone who JUST took down her braids yesterday, I support this message 😂😂😂 “a little bit more…”
Not you shading me this early in the morning 😭I’m not gonna go up anymore cause I’m afraid I’ll cut my hair😆
You have to have hope so when you do remove the braids we will not be so disappointed 😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Swear I be cutting low trying to avoid cutting my hair… just to accidentally cut my whole braid off in the top of my head.😂😂
I want people to know a food diet also contributes to hair growth not just styling. Also 6 months is wild lol
I just cut out my boho crochet locs after one day. I will keep the braid down and wear a wig.
Doing my own braids is a whole therapeutic ritual for me 😅
Is it me or was that thumbnail (EJ's pic) at quick glance giving hi-top fade--kid n play--big daddy kane?
Dang, I haven't worn braids in ages, but 1:19 hit home for sure 😂 I definitely used to think that way lol 😅
I LOVE your new merchandise! HAHAHAHAHA!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live in Hawaii and am wondering if there will be t-shirts as well?
Blessings & Aloha 🌺
There was a girl in college that used to do my cornrows. Every time I took them out, you could see my hair had grown a lot. People would comment on it because it would grow a lot. I'd only have them in for a couple of weeks at a time.
For some; 3/4 th of an inch! I would get braids for the purpose of not having to do my hair daily. I could care less about the growth. I cut my hair a few months ago and it's growing back without braids. If it grows, it grows (no biggy)! God bless you EJ🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yoooooou need'ta quuuuuuuit! !🚫🚫 Like RIGHT now....!😂😂😂😂 You got me ova here dyyyyyin' 💀💀💀💀...because you was doin" nothin' short of you swore to tell the whole tuth and nothing spoke and so help you god........your majesty👑⚖️👨⚖️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've learned so much transitioning through phases with my hair. I've gone from relaxed to natural to locs to bald. Through it all, my hair was and is: thin, fine 4c natural hair. Now that I have the experience and vernacular to say that, there are things I've gone through with my hair that is very much specific to my hair type. I cannot take braids for long, if at all. My edges will leave me (as they have in the past). The weight of the extra hair is too much for my thin strands to hold. Say that to say this, braids don't grow everyone's hair out. For some, you're doing more damage than anything by tangling your hair up in heavy weaves.
You have to take care of your hair when in a protective style. Moisturizer with oil/leave-in moisturizers EVERY DAY. I don't leave my braids in for more than 8 weeks.
Why did I think you had a high top fade in the opening pic 😂.. then realized it was the wall art in the background
Thanks for this, because I just knew my braids was broke since I didn’t have hair down to my butt when I took them down
Why I'm watching this with braids in my hair..and you done gave me a spoiler alert😅
Ibnever had the braids for any weave. I keep them for mayb 3 weeks. My head be to itchy for all tgat😂😂
Man this how i feel when it's time to do my loc retwist be so mad that it ain't to my shoulders yet😂😂😂😂

Braids now. Can't even think straight my head is so tight. When I took my braids out my hair looked like it did when I put the braids in. It's like my hair growth went on sabbatical.
I laughed till I cried!! Thank you 🙏🏽 😂😅❤
The craziest part is…..common sense should tell you the hair isn’t growing further down into the braid….like…it’s growing from the scalp…not the ends…so the end of your hair is still exactly where you left it…….🥴
This would explain why overtime. The braids start to slide down the hair shaft. And goes further away from the scalp as it becomes looser and threatens to fall off.
