Exactly! Like two years ago, I had my hair as long as bellow my waist and never cut it. And it looked really good! You just have to be gentle with it and do as she says here on the video and you'll have a long silky hair.
Cutting your hair doesn't do anything for perfectly healthy hair. It really only helps if someone has damaged hair like being too dry, split ends, etc. I don't cut my hair at all because it's perfectly healthy and it grows extremely fast
Occasionally, yes. I always use heat protection though and my hair is thin but I have a lot of hair and it gets frizzy thus why I use the oils (helps nourish and smooth it). Try using garnier oils with Argan Oil ( I dunno the name of it right now) or Syoss heat protection those are the best for my hair.
I'm a 3c-ish. I'm in my 40's and growing my hair out from a short bob. When I was young, my hair was to my chest, but I didn't care. I'm bored with short hair so I'm growing it out. Less heat and deep conditioning as she mentions has helped a lot. When I was young, my hair wasn't chemically straightened, but now it is. My relaxer is mild. I've noticed, 1st 3 weeks, just blow drying and wrapping my hair is enough. People tell me my hair looks better than it did before. It's actually soft. It's grown about 4 inches since August. The tips work for "us" as well. :)
You seriously look like the perfect girl for a late 90's early 20's teen movie. Like.. either the mean one or the good one. Idk why, you just have the look that would fit perfectly in Mean Girls hahaha
Hey guys! Just a heads up that if you have severe split ends during the process of growing your hair, you can totally go ahead and trim them to prevent them from worsening - but the goal is to keep your ends as protected and healthy as possible to reduce the need for trims. Do what's best for you! xxx ★ ★ ★ edit: This video was made BEFORE I began transitioning to using cruelty-free products ★ ★ ★
Yeah some of mine are so chemically damaged and dry , I don't have much choice than trimming on regular basis until my hair is all natural again . and if I just let my hair grow without cutting for over 3-4 months, my ends are growing thin (I had layers) it's just ugly.
i guess it depends on how you treat your hair then, like you said :) cause I don't find split ends a problem I feel like any trims I get would be a waste of length!
+tashateacup she commented something about this topic. she wrote that it is best to trim your hair if you have any severe split ends because the goal is to have your have as healthy as possible
I agree because my hair grew faster when I stopped getting trims. But the reason people say that comes from an actual good reason. Once you get split ends they can not go away without trimming and many people with damaged hair struggling to grow it out need trims often or the split ends will continue splitting upward until they eventually break off thus the length will be lost and the hair will thin at the ends..
It's because of the split ends... if you don't get rid of the split ends they will ride up the hair shaft, making your hair break, and it won't matter if your hair grows BECAUSE IT WILL KEEP BREAKING OFF and will not be able to retain that long length you desire. so yes trims or at least dustings are necessary at least once or twice a year
I don't dye or bleach my hair, I only wash it twice a week, I use a wide-tooth comb to not break my ends, I do masks monthly, and I never heat style it and it still grows so slowly :( genetics man!
Unfortunately every person has a length their hair will stop growing. My moms hair won't grow past her boobs and she doesn't do anything to her hair that damages it. My hair however can go past my butt easily, try biotin and eat good foods to see if those help but your hair might just have its stopping point where it's already at.
GIRL SAME. What sucks is that the older you get the slower your hair grows back. Which is why little kids can grow their hair out quickly but once they're a teenager/adult, their hair will never grow as fast almost ever. I regret cutting my super long butt-length hair at about 12 years old because it's taken 5/6 years to grow back and it's still not even down to my butt again, and I never even cut my hair above my shoulders. It was a hard lesson for me to learn :( lol NEVER AGAIN :'(
Dot It can also be your hormones are acting up I'm in my 20's and still have ''youth acne'' and it is really bad at times. Have you tried a face and body scrub? Works wonders for me :)
You have such beautiful hair! You're lucky that it's consistently thick, right down to waist-length. I tend to keep mine shoulder-length, because any longer than that and it tends to go "whispy" past that point!
You're one of the few people here that actually gives good advice🙌🏽 I also love that the products that you recommend are not super expensive and if they are a little bit more expensive you give another cheaper option. Love this video, good job👍🏼
I'm black with tight curly hair, and I have no idea why I'm watching this video either, except I'm hoping to learn something from all the long hair lovelies. it seems to me the main thing is extra care and consistency!
I had long hair, experimented with short hair, and am now in the process of growing it out again. In the beginning of growing it out, I would get a trim when I would start noticing a few split ends and after way too long, my hair had barely made any progress. I have stopped heat except for when going out somewhere important and found other ways to style and my hair has grown so much more in just a few months than in nearly a year of trying to get it to grow with the occasional trim (and those trims by the way, the hairdresser would always take off more than what I told him to, if you have to, I would recommend trimming it yourself).
You are 100% right! Trims doesn't do anything for faster growing. My hair is over 90cm long and I started from a bob. I guess it took me only 3 years to grow it to my butt. Keeping them healthy is the key and also a good healthy diet. Most people forget about that. Hair also need the right nutrition to stay strong and healthy.
+SandraLakshmi I definitely agree! Keep the ends healthy and eat right. I also totally understand some people prefer to have regular trims too. It all depends on how healthy you keep your hair/ends and how quickly you want to grow it!
Hi there! make sure you check the description box of some of my videos, I mention the date I began transitioning to veganism. I only announced I was going cruelty free with my products in one of my March 2016 makeup tutorials. this video is from January 2016! totally aware that your comment has helpful intentions but just figured I should clear that up x
oooo thank you! i just wanted to let you know because a lot of people make mistakes sometimes (but i know now that this was not the case) anyways, love the vegan message and you're beautiful as always
My hair is nearly this long. I agree with basically everything she says! I do have bleached and dyed blue hair - since I do have processed and long hair I use professional grade products (olaplex and joico) and wash my hair only 1-2x a week and style it only 1x per week. My biggest suggestion is starting at the bottom and working my way up so as not to pull out hair - which is super easy when your hair is this long. Biggest long hair pet-peeve is when my son or husband try and cuddle up next to me and lay on my hair, or when my hair gets caught in random hangers in tiny aisles at stores!
I've been growing my hair out since a spur-of-the-moment pixie cut in the summer of '14, and sometimes my resolve wavers, but watching your videos is what really made me finally COMMIT to growing out my hair. It's a pleasure to see how much care you take and how deliberate you are with your routines! One question, though -- do you do anything particular when sleeping? I've heard some people with super-long hair like to braid it to go to sleep or use satin pillowcases to avoid the hair getting tangled/breaking when they sleep, but I'm not sure if there's any truth to that actually helping. Thanks! :)
+Brough Superiors so glad this video was helpful for you! as for sleeping, over all the years of growing my hair I have not done anything special. I just tie it in a low, semi-loose ponytail so it's out of the way and comfortable. You also mentioned silk pillowcases and I recently got a high quality silk pillowcase for Christmas (which I requested!) mainly for it's skin benefits, but it does happen to have benefits for hair as well. So I would recommend high quality silk pillowcases in general as they are great for both skin and hair (plus they look so pretty and luxurious) EDIT: but they are not at all necessary for growing long healthy hair, a regular 100% soft cotton pillowcase is just fine
I got a pixie cut around a year ago and I regretted it so much! Now I'm trying super hard to grow my hair out again, and I've promised myself to take super good care of it.
It's cool to know that you have Swedish blood in you! I'm half Swedish and I just thought it was cool to know this about you. Love your videos! Keep up the good work haha^^
im getting a hair cut soon ive been growing it out for 6 months but i havent been using masks or heat protection so my hair is breaking off at the ends once i get it cut ill be sure to use the products you mentioned thank you so much for this video!
+Victoria Smith you can disguise any damage on the ends of your hair with either of the oil products I mentioned, so you can always try that first before getting too much cut off to maintain the length! even just a little bit of oil on dry ends can help smooth them over and make them look glossy and healthy :-)
22 are jealious with have dry hair. Mizani is a great brand. I'd never use natural remedies as coconut oil gave me a major break out all over my body. Eating well is great for your hair and drinking lots of water.
I had my hair long enough to sit on when I was a kid. I cut my hair chin-length in 2004, and again in 2008. It's been down to my butt ever since. Heat styling is only something I do for special occasions, otherwise I just braid it & let it be wavy like a goddess'. I use oil of morocco argan oil instead of conditioner. I've had dyes and perms, but I haven't used any since 2013, so my hair is totally natural now. Every three or four months I use Fiole 3+1 for a long-term treatment.
Brushing your hair too often will increase stress and cause breakage. Using too much product can discolor and dry out your hair. Avoid silicones, they are total garbage for your hair!! Use oils instead and apply from the ears down, being sure not to get it in your roots. Some oils can clog the roots, causing hair loss. Always rinse very well and avoid heat whenever possible. All you really need is shampoo, argan oil, and a leave-in conditioner like ID Care. The rest is up to your genetics and how roughly you handle your hair.
Massaging the scalp gently will help stimulate the follicles. Also, your hair grows faster in warm months than cold. My hair is presently around 30" long, and it grows pretty fast.
if you don't get trims, your split ends (EVERYONE has them, even healthy virgin hair) will continue to split up the hair shaft, and then break off even shorter. so by trimming the ends and cutting the split ends off, you are protecting the hair cuticle and preventing farther breakage, resulting in healthier hair.
+Haley Rose That's a good point! I do think most people have even a little split ends (although can't speak for everybody, who really knows). However for me personally, I have gone over a year without trimming mild split ends, continuously taking excellent care of my hair, and they have not broken off. Also the goal isn't necessarily to never trim your hair, but to at least reduce the amount of trims needed by protecting the ends. In the end we are all different so I assume people will use their common sense to take care of their hair in a way that works for their unique hair type. thanks for your comment! x
Grrah i just knew you had Scandinavian/Nordic blood. Your hair, especially at its natural waviness is just like mine was before i cut it. Except mine was slightly darker and nowhere near as healthy oops I love this channel. You're gorgeous and you have such a calm, clear way of speaking ♡
Your hair colour is magical! Soooo beautiful. My hair is down to my bellybutton, less than 4 years ago I had a pixie cut and I've had inches cut off between now and then lol my hair grows sooooo fast!
I have hair exactly like yours, and I don't do anything special at all. It was about the length as yours as well until I cut 14 inches off recently and I regret it!!
wow that color is amazing!!! i uses to have that blonde as a child :X now i color my hair blonde(no bleach color) to get that color!! thank you for this video !!
Okay but we have almost the exact same type of hair except my hair is a bit thicker. it's nice to see someone with my type of hair lol. Great video btw💕
My hair is to my knees....I do very little to it. I scalp only wash twice a week and wash and condition the length once every two weeks or so, trim occasionally, I oil once in a while with olive or coconut oil and I do use an oil with cones...my hair is so fine I cannot do without them. I use proper brushing techniques (always have) and wear it UP, either with a stick or hair fork.
Hi! You are so angelic in this video, lovely hair. I grew my hair out a lot last year (I have before/after pic in my latest video)...I'm hoping to grow it more, great tips! but I do try to stay away from silicones...I thought they build up in your hair and require harsh shampoo to remove. What are your thoughts on that?
+Barefoot Globetrot thank you! and there are definitely some misconceptions about silicone, but there's no need to worry as you do not need harsh shampoos or ingredients to remove them :-) plus I've been using them for years and it has not been a problem. if you're still not sure, check out this article (scroll down to the question from Lara and the answer): www.paulaschoice.com/community/dear-paula/_/dear-paula-hair and also this article on silicone as a cosmetic ingredient: www.paulaschoice.com/cosmetic-ingredient-dictionary/definition/silicone
Switch shampoo! Dont wash your hair eceryday.. Stop wearing it in a tight ponytail/pun, and instead wear a lose braid. It could be stress! Just take care of you and your hair :) Don't forget: It's autumn and humans are animals. It's normal to lose more hair between end of august and end of november 😊
Take primrose oil capsules! (two capsules each day) Sometimes hairloss can be because of lack of vitamins. Primrose oil benefits the hair growth. Good luck!
I just cut off all my hair to donate it. It rests at my collar bone now. I really hope it grows quickly. Also, I was watching some of your older videos and noticed you wear coloured contacts. Are they circle lenses? I really want to experiment with lenses but I'm super nervous because of the horror stories I've heard. I'm not even sure where I'd get them. Any info or tips you could give would be greatly appreciated ^^
+Abbey Alizabeth that's wonderful of you to donate my hair. if I ever cut it I would definitely do the same. as for my lenses, yes they are circle lenses! although I've experimented with regular optometrist-bought coloured lenses before. I suggest only buying from major reputable sites and brands. I've purchased from a few here and there so I can't rec any specific ones but stick to any major sites with good reviews, only purchasing well-known reputable brands. If you are less experienced with coloured lenses of any kind, I highly rec visiting your optometrist first and buying their brands of coloured lenses. Generally most coloured lenses of any type do not feel the same as everyday plain prescription lenses and it's ideal not to wear them for as long. For me when I buy online I always soak my new contact lenses in my own contact lens solution for at least 24 hours before wearing. I also rub them with solution to clean them well. For circle lenses, I only wear maximum of 5-6 hours a day or less, plus I always set a reminder for a couple of weeks before their expiry date and throw them out. I hope that helps! x
some people believe that their hair has a maximum length it can grow. by not cutting it you may have discovered this :/ otherwise get a blood test/check in with your doc.
I grew my hair 4 years... and it barely got past my shoulders... :( my hair is thin. at about 4 inches past my shoulders it starts breaking and thinning and my hair is ALREADY SUPER THIN. I don't have thick hair to start. And my hair doesn't look good long unless I put extensions in it to fill it out. I don't know why. :( at two inches below my shoulders- no splits no nothing. my hair is super healthy at that length.
I am thinking about cutting it down, not dying it, starting over with great shampoo and product, and trying some tips...? No idea if that will help. But my natural color is not nice. It looks like pure grease if I DON'T dye it. But that might be because I am using the wrong thing. I noticed using my dog's shampoo my hair finally feels good...? But I have tried plenty of stuff people rec on these channels and like... ug dog shampoo and like mane and tail- I keep going back to those. The only things that seem to work for my hair. I don't know what is going on with my hair.
thank you so much for this, my whole life i have had long hair like yours although i had never kept it healthy and because it looked so damaged i decided to cut it off to my shoulders a couple of weeks ago, although i really like my hair short, in the future i would really like my hair long again and this video/your hair is such an inspiration for me so thank you!
Your link for the hairbrush isn't working ☹️ I've been looking for a good brush for so long and I'd like to know what kind of brush you use, if it's a paddle or some kind of boar bristle brush or what. But other than the link in the description not working this is sooo helpful thank you! 😊💕
I have decided to stop bleaching my hair, I want my real hair back! and I want it to be long, it's naturally thick but I kinda ruined it :D now I just wait... and wait
I can sum that up in this comment - I pinned it to the left side of my face and used the hair on my left side to cover the pin (it gave the illusion of tucking my hair behind my ear). this is how I developed my current hairstyle that I always wear LOL except now it's long enough that I just tuck it and no longer need a pin.
Omg you used to have a fringe? I find it super hard to imagine since your hair is always parted off to the side off your face! Did you mention it in this video or did I miss it? I feel like you would definitely benefit from a center parting, have you considered or tried that before?
all my hair was just hacked off at the salon. it was so ruined by a hair dye that it matted up into a giant fucking knot with all my hair stuck. this was after they put olaplex in it. I went in hoping they'd fix the damage and left losing 5 years of fucking growth. I'm so choked. this video makes me so sad. i'd give anything for your hair. i really can't stop crying
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT SAYS CUTTING YOUR HAIR WONT DO SHIT FOR YOU.
well idk it works for me my hair never seemed to grow this fast or be so thick as now
Exactly! Like two years ago, I had my hair as long as bellow my waist and never cut it. And it looked really good! You just have to be gentle with it and do as she says here on the video and you'll have a long silky hair.
Cutting your hair doesn't do anything for perfectly healthy hair. It really only helps if someone has damaged hair like being too dry, split ends, etc.
I don't cut my hair at all because it's perfectly healthy and it grows extremely fast
+Catarina do you use heat ?
Occasionally, yes. I always use heat protection though and my hair is thin but I have a lot of hair and it gets frizzy thus why I use the oils (helps nourish and smooth it). Try using garnier oils with Argan Oil ( I dunno the name of it right now) or Syoss heat protection those are the best for my hair.
Im black with type 3 hair so i have no idea why im watching this but cool vid
+venice remiss true & same for me, but she pretty much does the same stuff i do, just different products
I'm a 3c-ish. I'm in my 40's and growing my hair out from a short bob. When I was young, my hair was to my chest, but I didn't care. I'm bored with short hair so I'm growing it out.

The tips work for "us" as well. :)
+venice remmus I have very different texture too...super curly. But I still find her tips to be useful to most hair types! :-)
Lol same!
SAME
Your hair reminds me of Regina George from mean girls
Jara Greene *IKR*
In less mean
Oh my god y’a😂
I can't believe that a woman is so ridiculously pretty herself and has so ridiculously awesome hair.
You seriously look like the perfect girl for a late 90's early 20's teen movie. Like.. either the mean one or the good one. Idk why, you just have the look that would fit perfectly in Mean Girls hahaha

"my hair is so long u can't see it in the camera frame, but if u did you would see my pajama pants." ur too cute sophie!
her aura is so eerie ..idk how it makes me feel..
she's gorgeous though !
I feel that too! Of course shes absolutely gorgeous and lovely, but i do sense a slightly eerie energy!
I don't dye or bleach my hair, I only wash it twice a week, I use a wide-tooth comb to not break my ends, I do masks monthly, and I never heat style it and it still grows so slowly :( genetics man!
do you eat vitamin with biotine? it really works wonders! xxx
Unfortunately every person has a length their hair will stop growing. My moms hair won't grow past her boobs and she doesn't do anything to her hair that damages it.

everyone recommending biotin and I'm over here like...
*takes one biotin tablet*
*breaks out with terrible acne*
Dot
It can also be your hormones are acting up I'm in my 20's and still have ''youth acne'' and it is really bad at times. Have you tried a face and body scrub? Works wonders for me :)
Watching this after a regretted haircut 😭😭😭😭 your hair is so beautiful
Your hair color is beautiful. I hope you never change it.
I want your hair colour sooo bad
yes its so pretty
that's my natural hair colour but i don't like it so i always dye it haha
Emilly Soares SAME. It is my ideal colour.
Tara Neyt mee too
but dont you have that hair (your profile picture)
i'm just here too see the long hair go swish
I'm dead
This video is just saying " my hair is perfect, sorry yours isn't" lol
Her channel has that write all over
probably your just jealous👌👌👌
dude she's literally giving tips this whole video WTF were you watching
she's gorgeous! and beautiful and a sweet heart. this wasn't supposed to be hurtful. she has great quality videos too.
soooo true! I noticed it also watching her nails video
So basically to get beautiful hair you must be born with it?
Healthy lifestyle helps a lot too but it's true that she has good genetics
wtf ur hair is so beautiful naturally too 😱
You have such beautiful hair! You're lucky that it's consistently thick, right down to waist-length. I tend to keep mine shoulder-length, because any longer than that and it tends to go "whispy" past that point!
*Wishes that I have good genetics like you* :(
Your natural wavy hair look is most stunning.
finally someone who knows cutting you hair does not make it grow
Your hair is so gorgeous
Wow, your natural hair color is gorgeous 😘
honestly... just such a princess
You're one of the few people here that actually gives good advice🙌🏽 I also love that the products that you recommend are not super expensive and if they are a little bit more expensive you give another cheaper option. Love this video, good job👍🏼

OMG YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY NATURAL WHAT THE
just letting you know, aussie isnt cruelty free or vegan,
Hi there! make sure you check the description box of some of my videos, I mention the date I began transitioning to veganism.

oooo thank you! i just wanted to let you know because a lot of people make mistakes sometimes (but i know now that this was not the case) anyways, love the vegan message and you're beautiful as always
+THE MILK CLUB hi. do you know of any cruelty free alternatives that would be just as good for the hair? can you help me with this?
darn, i just bought some aussie a couple weeks ago for a heat protectant. is there a cruelty-free product you'd recommend?
My hair is 33inches and i Use a product called 'faith in nature' they have an amazing vegan range
My hair is nearly this long. I agree with basically everything she says!

Eating well is great for your hair and drinking lots of water.
I had my hair long enough to sit on when I was a kid. I cut my hair chin-length in 2004, and again in 2008. It's been down to my butt ever since. Heat styling is only something I do for special occasions, otherwise I just braid it & let it be wavy like a goddess'. I use oil of morocco argan oil instead of conditioner. I've had dyes and perms, but I haven't used any since 2013, so my hair is totally natural now. Every three or four months I use Fiole 3+1 for a long-term treatment.
Brushing your hair too often will increase stress and cause breakage. Using too much product can discolor and dry out your hair. Avoid silicones, they are total garbage for your hair!! Use oils instead and apply from the ears down, being sure not to get it in your roots. Some oils can clog the roots, causing hair loss. Always rinse very well and avoid heat whenever possible. All you really need is shampoo, argan oil, and a leave-in conditioner like ID Care. The rest is up to your genetics and how roughly you handle your hair.
Massaging the scalp gently will help stimulate the follicles. Also, your hair grows faster in warm months than cold.
My hair is presently around 30" long, and it grows pretty fast.
if you don't get trims, your split ends (EVERYONE has them, even healthy virgin hair) will continue to split up the hair shaft, and then break off even shorter. so by trimming the ends and cutting the split ends off, you are protecting the hair cuticle and preventing farther breakage, resulting in healthier hair.
+Haley Rose That's a good point! I do think most people have even a little split ends (although can't speak for everybody, who really knows). However for me personally, I have gone over a year without trimming mild split ends, continuously taking excellent care of my hair, and they have not broken off. Also the goal isn't necessarily to never trim your hair, but to at least reduce the amount of trims needed by protecting the ends. In the end we are all different so I assume people will use their common sense to take care of their hair in a way that works for their unique hair type. thanks for your comment! x
I also have very long hair, I loved hearing your products recommendations! Love your natural color :)
Veronique Auguste no you do not have very long hair...
@@hiilikedogs3616 this was 2 years ago..?
Your videos are so relaxing! really you are one of the best youtubers ever! Hellooo from ecuador :)
Grrah i just knew you had Scandinavian/Nordic blood. Your hair, especially at its natural waviness is just like mine was before i cut it. Except mine was slightly darker and nowhere near as healthy oops
I love this channel. You're gorgeous and you have such a calm, clear way of speaking ♡
how your hair is naturrally wavy like that , and a bit longer than mine , is exactly how i want mine 😩
Your hair colour is magical! Soooo beautiful. My hair is down to my bellybutton, less than 4 years ago I had a pixie cut and I've had inches cut off between now and then lol my hair grows sooooo fast!
You look like an angel and I'm totally in love with your style omg 😇
Your youtube & hair are on fleek!!
I also have waist length natural blonde hair. My favorite oil spray is the alterna kendi oil. It's pricey but a pure oil and has a great smell.
the aussie products are seriously the bomb!!! love love love
mamma mia, silk hair... absolutely gorgeous, you're so lucky.
I just go through my hair when I'm bored and cut the splits. So far it has passed the middle of my back. Hips are my goal!!
I have hair exactly like yours, and I don't do anything special at all. It was about the length as yours as well until I cut 14 inches off recently and I regret it!!
wow that color is amazing!!! i uses to have that blonde as a child :X now i color my hair blonde(no bleach color) to get that color!! thank you for this video !!
my hair has been the same length for literally over a year
do you have a lot of split ends? do you bleach it?
Okay but we have almost the exact same type of hair except my hair is a bit thicker. it's nice to see someone with my type of hair lol. Great video btw💕
My hair is to my knees....I do very little to it. I scalp only wash twice a week and wash and condition the length once every two weeks or so, trim occasionally, I oil once in a while with olive or coconut oil and I do use an oil with cones...my hair is so fine I cannot do without them. I use proper brushing techniques (always have) and wear it UP, either with a stick or hair fork.
I love your hair, it's your crown.
your hair color is so so pretty!
Hi! You are so angelic in this video, lovely hair. I grew my hair out a lot last year (I have before/after pic in my latest video)...I'm hoping to grow it more, great tips! but I do try to stay away from silicones...I thought they build up in your hair and require harsh shampoo to remove. What are your thoughts on that?
+Barefoot Globetrot thank you! and there are definitely some misconceptions about silicone, but there's no need to worry as you do not need harsh shampoos or ingredients to remove them :-) plus I've been using them for years and it has not been a problem. if you're still not sure, check out this article (scroll down to the question from Lara and the answer): www.paulaschoice.com/community/dear-paula/_/dear-paula-hair and also this article on silicone as a cosmetic ingredient: www.paulaschoice.com/cosmetic-ingredient-dictionary/definition/silicone
+THE MILK CLUB Thanks for your response and for the links! This is super helpful information :-)
Thank you so much for making this video! I cut my hair, but now I want to grow it out, so this video really helped me out. (:
+Amelia Differs good luck on your hair growing journey :)
my hair just keeps falling out, idk what to do anymore..
it might be a good time to see your doctor for a blood test
Switch shampoo! Dont wash your hair eceryday.. Stop wearing it in a tight ponytail/pun, and instead wear a lose braid. It could be stress! Just take care of you and your hair :) Don't forget: It's autumn and humans are animals. It's normal to lose more hair between end of august and end of november 😊
Amy Lavigne
I knew those things already but thanks, I'll keep them in mind :)!
Take primrose oil capsules! (two capsules each day) Sometimes hairloss can be because of lack of vitamins. Primrose oil benefits the hair growth. Good luck!

Thank you! :)
Your so lucky to have such a beautiful natural hair colour.
Stunning young lady and fabulous hair, so good to see natural blond hair instead of bottle blond which is not nice
Your hair is so so nice! I want it so badly!!😍😍😍💇🏼
That's your natural hair colour? Wow it's beautiful, your so lucky 😍
Omg her hair looks so pretty and soft
And eating certain nutrientions is also a good way to have healthy hair
her har color is lovely!!
I just cut off all my hair to donate it. It rests at my collar bone now. I really hope it grows quickly. Also, I was watching some of your older videos and noticed you wear coloured contacts. Are they circle lenses? I really want to experiment with lenses but I'm super nervous because of the horror stories I've heard. I'm not even sure where I'd get them. Any info or tips you could give would be greatly appreciated ^^
+Abbey Alizabeth that's wonderful of you to donate my hair. if I ever cut it I would definitely do the same. as for my lenses, yes they are circle lenses! although I've experimented with regular optometrist-bought coloured lenses before. I suggest only buying from major reputable sites and brands. I've purchased from a few here and there so I can't rec any specific ones but stick to any major sites with good reviews, only purchasing well-known reputable brands. If you are less experienced with coloured lenses of any kind, I highly rec visiting your optometrist first and buying their brands of coloured lenses. Generally most coloured lenses of any type do not feel the same as everyday plain prescription lenses and it's ideal not to wear them for as long. For me when I buy online I always soak my new contact lenses in my own contact lens solution for at least 24 hours before wearing. I also rub them with solution to clean them well. For circle lenses, I only wear maximum of 5-6 hours a day or less, plus I always set a reminder for a couple of weeks before their expiry date and throw them out. I hope that helps! x
+THE MILK CLUB Thank you so much for the advice and tips!
Lana del Rey ?
The no haircut thing is not true... I haven't gotten a haircut in 6 years and my hair has stayed the same
some people believe that their hair has a maximum length it can grow. by not cutting it you may have discovered this :/ otherwise get a blood test/check in with your doc.
Can you do an updated video now that you went cruelty-free ? I'd love to see what you're using now (:
So, your parents are german and swedish, do you speak any of these languges? c:
Really love your hair
I loved this video
I recently cut my hair and I just want it long again
THANK YOU LADY!!!!!
I can't give you enough thumbs up to do justice to your locks!
my bangs are to my elbow and my hair is to the palm of my hand!!!!
Must be pretty
I'm not growing me hair, I just find it so satisfying watching girls with really long hair.
Your hair really looks lovely.
I grew my hair 4 years... and it barely got past my shoulders... :( my hair is thin. at about 4 inches past my shoulders it starts breaking and thinning and my hair is ALREADY SUPER THIN. I don't have thick hair to start. And my hair doesn't look good long unless I put extensions in it to fill it out. I don't know why. :( at two inches below my shoulders- no splits no nothing. my hair is super healthy at that length.
Energetic Dog Nova I feel you sister :/
I am thinking about cutting it down, not dying it, starting over with great shampoo and product, and trying some tips...? No idea if that will help. But my natural color is not nice. It looks like pure grease if I DON'T dye it. But that might be because I am using the wrong thing. I noticed using my dog's shampoo my hair finally feels good...? But I have tried plenty of stuff people rec on these channels and like... ug dog shampoo and like mane and tail- I keep going back to those. The only things that seem to work for my hair. I don't know what is going on with my hair.
You look like a angel
Your hair is soooo beautiful! Literally my goal hahah but its definitely the swedish genes! xx
thank you so much for this, my whole life i have had long hair like yours although i had never kept it healthy and because it looked so damaged i decided to cut it off to my shoulders a couple of weeks ago, although i really like my hair short, in the future i would really like my hair long again and this video/your hair is such an inspiration for me so thank you!
god how I wish I had your haircolor without bleaching it 😢😢😢 looove your hair
Your link for the hairbrush isn't working ☹️ I've been looking for a good brush for so long and I'd like to know what kind of brush you use, if it's a paddle or some kind of boar bristle brush or what. But other than the link in the description not working this is sooo helpful thank you! 😊💕
I have decided to stop bleaching my hair, I want my real hair back! and I want it to be long, it's naturally thick but I kinda ruined it :D now I just wait... and wait
Your hair is so pretty wavy!
the first blonde hair i really like.finally it does not look thirsty
You could do a video about how you grown out your fringe/bangs?!
I can sum that up in this comment - I pinned it to the left side of my face and used the hair on my left side to cover the pin (it gave the illusion of tucking my hair behind my ear). this is how I developed my current hairstyle that I always wear LOL except now it's long enough that I just tuck it and no longer need a pin.
+THE MILK CLUB awww you are so lovely! thank you a lot
Omg you used to have a fringe? I find it super hard to imagine since your hair is always parted off to the side off your face! Did you mention it in this video or did I miss it? I feel like you would definitely benefit from a center parting, have you considered or tried that before?
I used to have my hair down by my waist and it was super long and thick. Ever since I cut it, it won't grow past my shoulders 😞
I'm so jealous of your genetics ! My hair was that blonde until I was about 7 yrsold....WHY does the blonde go away? 😢😢😢😢
Thanks so much for your honesty and practical advice :) Great video x
I really like your natural texture
all my hair was just hacked off at the salon. it was so ruined by a hair dye that it matted up into a giant fucking knot with all my hair stuck. this was after they put olaplex in it. I went in hoping they'd fix the damage and left losing 5 years of fucking growth. I'm so choked. this video makes me so sad. i'd give anything for your hair. i really can't stop crying
WOAH, HEARING SOMEONE SAY THEY STILL HAVE VIRGIN HAIR IS SO WIERD BUT COOL BCS LIKE SRSLY OMG I LOVE YOUR HAIR ITS SO PRETTY
