      Luhhsetty Nice video. I'm trying to grow out my hair it's been about a year and two months since I have used heat. But I still have some damage ends. I know you might probably tell me to wait some time and then gradually cut the ends but the problem is that I haven't seen any growth. I've experimented with Hair,Skin, and Nail supplements but it hasn't shown significant changes. What would you advise.

  • @deckaabdi6642

    1. No heat
    2. Don't wash hair everyday
    3. Use aloe vera
    4. Do protective styling
    5. Eat lots of nuts or fish. Eggs, fish, almonds, and some more.
    That's all I have, I hope I helped you out. You can also look up some ways to make your hair grow. That's what I do.

    The best growth hair tip I can give is to KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR HAIR during the day. Always playing in your hair can promote split ends. ☝🏾

    My Hair Tip:
    Coconut Oil! Oil is so good for hair and skin and can be used for so many things! Massage the oil into your scalp when styling at night!

    • @TGRAM7
      @TGRAM7 7 років тому +33

      TiaMae E I wish I could use coconut oil but my hair hates it. I have low porosity curls and coconut oil is protein so it makes my hair feel like straw and then....it breaks off. Ugh.

    • @shayt4398
      @shayt4398 7 років тому +7

      TiaMae E Coconut oil is a no no for my hair. I have protein sensitive hair. As soon I use coconut oil on my hair it ends up hard. 😨

    My tip is to go out and buy a good pair of hair shears. Don't just grab any ole pair of scissors you have laying around the house and go to town on your hair. You can find some and your local bipolar supply store, Sally's Target, and Walmart.

    • @shayt4398
      @shayt4398 7 років тому +5

      Kalia Socute Have you tried bentonite clay ? It's works wonder to define curls especially if you have 4 types curls. There is few 4c girls who use it.

    • @Neea121
      @Neea121 7 років тому +3

      heyshaay After using the bentonite clay do the defined curls stay?

    • @shayt4398
      @shayt4398 7 років тому

      Taneea It does stay but it fades away during the week. You can do it every two weeks.

  • @keilasantos5653
    @keilasantos5653 7 років тому +1

    One HUGE thing that I stopped doing that's helped my hair grow much more faster is combing out/detangling my hair when it's dry or has no product in it, it made my hair vulnerable to breakage and I had many split ends. Make sure to comb your hair in the shower or put some conditioner in it before you do any combing to it.

  • @iwillneverdiex
    @iwillneverdiex 7 років тому +1

    I've grown my hair a lot in the past couple months, and a technique I love to use is massaging Jamaican black castor oil into my scalp the night before I wash/cleanse my hair. I usually do this on the weekend so I'm not going to work and school all oily.

  • @shelbyutley7547

    @kikicoolit3250 7 років тому

    Your growth tips are actually great! From your last video I took your advice and cut out adding hear. So far I only straightened my hair twice in the whole of 2016, which was huge since I used to do it every weekend. If noticed my hair is so much healthier and is finally getting longer because it is not breaking off from the damage. Thank you so much for your videos and good luck!

    No heat has helped me sooo much !!! Also using some hydrating creme like the Kristin ess hydrating curl defining creme and the bumble and bumble mending complexing with two dime sized oil like the biosilk therapy lite helped soooo much if you aren't comfortable with your natural hair I started with just throwing my natural hair in a semi loose bun (since I needed my edges to grow back too)

    I'm only 2c, 3a on a good styling day, but I have SD, seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, which means that I can't use oils, or conditioner (or gels or stylers for that matter) on my scalp. Since then I have noticed that my scalp stays cleaner for longer, that I can stretch to a week, and that my scalp condition is pretty much under control (the sulfates help too, to keep it squeaky clean, which is a must - it helps me avoid the medicated shampoo (Nizoral 2%)). Loved the video. So refreshing to see how you avoid the scalp as much as possible!

      +semaranicole I recently just went natural, and it's honestly the best thing you can do, everyone loved it, just make sure you have the right styling products for your specific hair and you know what you're doing and you'll be good to go, don't worry there is nothing to worry about, i promise :)

    I love the host! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 a good tip to mention is reducing the tension put on your scalp by protective styles, head bands, and even pony tails. Reducing the tension on your scalp and hairline can reduce breakage and hopefully increase length retention.
