    I’m a retired cosmetologist/barber instructor. I’ve tried putting these very tips in the mind of my five daughters. I used to put permanent waves/Jheri Kurls in my customers hair. I put them in my mom’s hair and I remember how their hair grew because of how they moisturizer it. I took care of my moms hair and it was below shoulder length. I treat my hair the same way and moisturizer several times a week.
    Thank you so much for all you do!
    I’m past shoulder length and pushing for below bra length. Maybe one day before I take my final journey to my heavenly home it will be waist length. 😁

    Ive been really zoning in on my hair care habits and I sabotage my hair retention soo much. I found that I buy products based on the idea that moisture really helps my hair grow. Moisture does not help my hair. So heavy butters that my strands cant handle and piling on products. Second, washing my hair more than 1 time a week. My scalp cant handle these products and ends up hurting. Third clarifying regularly, I find my hair thrives better when its a clean slate. Its me im the problem.

I have had it in plaits (and covered with fun head wraps) for about a year now and NOTHING. My hair is very healthy, so I had just decided to increase my moisturizing game (cuz the last time I had long hair was in the jheri curl days). After watching this video, I'm even more committed to that. I will probably try supplements and protein treatments soon because of this video, but I want to focus on the moisturizing part first (since my hair is so healthy).

My cocoa butter leave in conditioner also works as a detangler it instantly softens my hair. Some of the ingredients include: xanthan gum, glycerin, aloe juice, sweet almond oil, apricot oil, palm oil, Rosemary essential oil, lemongrass essential oil, clove bud essential oil, lavender essential oil, strawberry essential oil, and peppermint essential oil. Oh yea cetyl alcohol is also one of the many ingredients. I used soft and silky emulsifying wax.

My hair has grown 6” in this 1 yr (post big chop) and hangs apx 4” past my shoulders when wet. Now that it’s Summer, I am full out wash-n-go’s but will change to twists that I will wear mostly covered with head wraps during the Winter bec my hair will rub against the turtle neck sweaters, etc that I wear in Winter which will definitely result in serious breakage. I am consistent with weekly wash days in Summer and every 2 wks in Winter.

    I did have a question about your oil rinsing video. You said we didn’t necessarily have to rinse the oil out. So could I shampoo, deep condition, oil my hair and let it sit for 5 minutes then apply my hair butter? I’m high porosity and my hair can handle tons of oil and butter. Thank you for your help!

    Hi Tonya! Is wearing a hair bun everyday without breakage possible to retain length ? Sometimes I read websites online that wearing hair in a bun causes hair breakage around the hairline. I would rather wear my hair in a bun for length retention if I can instead of twisting or braiding my hair. I don't do well wearing braids and twist because my hair gets tangled and my hair gets dry daily so I have to moisturize my hair every day. I have a wig but wearing a wig during the summer is too hot and uncomfortable to me. If i can wear my natural hair in a bun without hair breakage that would be good because it's easy and a simple style.

    My hair stop growing some years ago… I’m to the point of doing the big chop. I don’t think it’s unhealthy. I have little to no breakage. Don’t know if it’s the products I’m using🤷🏾‍♀️
    My hair length goal is to be close to mid back.

    Hi, you mentioned the ends. I sleep on a silk pillow, but my hair rubs on my nightgown. I tried pining my hair up, but the clips hurt. Any suggestions?

      Try flexirods or larger bobby pins.

      You can also use a silk or satin bonnet as well.
