Make sure you follow me on SnapChat👻: JeweJeweBee! I hope you guys enjoy my video for how I repaired my damaged hair. Also, when I mentioned blow drying not being good, I meant blow outs with high heat. I occasionally use blow dryers to dry my curly hair and they aren't bad when used sparingly (if the heat is not high)/or to straighten the hair. Using a blow dryer on high heat can cause heat damage just like a flat iron. Of course, using a blow dryer on the cool setting is 100% fine (and may even benefit the hair)! Please leave your questions and comments below! And you can follow me on instagram at: JeweJeweBee! Have a great day 😘❤️
love you girl! our hair is so similar in curl pattern (mine is just naturally thinner). since I'm almost done transitioning I've limited the use of heat on my hair drastically. I still do flat iron but I'm more cautious. how did you get comfortable with wearing your curly hair. I'm still trying to get used to it and get my curls to flourish.
Highlighting is better than dyeing your entire head because it's only doing select/ limited areas of hair. But it is still damaging those areas of your hair that are highlighted. I used to highlight the front of my hair because I would cut bangs and layers their, so it wouldn't really be a big deal if it was damaged or not. But I wouldn't recommend harsh chemicals to anyone who wants their longest and healthiest hair.
JeweJewe Bee I'm scared of straightening my hair because of heat damage how can I completely prevent that? Because my worst fear is doing it and then ending up with it.
1. No heat 2. no chemicals (dyes n relaxers) 3. Trim damaged hair 4. Weekly protein treatment/deep condition 5. Use more moisturising products 6. Be gentle with detangling Thanks 👏🏾
most of the time the reason black women cant "grow" hair is because society tells them from a young age to tame it, and put it away. relaxers, flat irons, and tight pony tails break hair. so as it grows it breaks off. i personally believe in natural. im white but i use some of the oils and treatments you do because it really does help a lot. your hair is beautiful
Ariel TheMermaid nobody necessarily has to say dumbass. There are young black girls I see at my school who straighten their hair way too much and you can tell it's braking off. There are a lot of whit kids in my school who've said and have he come up to me say, " I like your hair better straight than curly". In other words telling them their natural hair is ugly. There is a lot of proof around you. You just need to learn to pay attention and listen
It's crazy to think we were conditioned and trained to think that damaged hair was for us and when we actually grow out our hair our own culture thinks that it is fake. We are changing minds in the hair community slowly but surely. Thanks for your story
Mitylene Bailey I agree...That's the mentality that the multi-billion dollar industry has left us with...so happy that many are "waking up to the facts" of the matter.
Angela Freeman Definitely! And what makes me so happy is black women decided to start wearing their natural hair themselves. No outsiders influenced us. We influenced each other, mainly because of naturals on UA-cam and natural hair care websites.We changed things so much in fact that many of those multi-billion dollar companies had to rearrange their marketing and product lines to cater the vast amount of women going natural. We still know their products are crap regardless tho.
Information is so powerful... it's so good to see something constructive being shared vs all the negative stuff, especially when we spend so much time and money on trying to portray images that we were not born into.
I hate when people say that it's a wig or weave like African American women can't grow long hair! That is a lie that black women can't grow long hair because they can
Thank you for the inspiration, it's my prayer as a 57 year old woman all the way from Africa, we're beautiful the way God created us, God did not make a mistake, being black, wearing your natural hair, no relaxing, no dyeing, just natural and using essential oils for moisturizing, taking good care of the dry scalp, style however you want, black women are naturally gorgeous. Let's be proud of our heritage and stop making these businesses on relaxers, wigs, weaves, dyes more rich at our expense. It's time black women take their power back from this stigma in believing that when you're more like a white woman, then that's what's considered beautiful, we're keeping ourselves under the oppression of white people, with this mentality, because they see how we have been trying to look more like them. The world is waiting to see a black woman, being black, but amazingly gorgeous. Black is beautiful. I have been natural going for 10 years now, with my grey natural hair, that other races are giving me compliments on how beautiful I look. Black, proud and beautiful. To all black women reading this, young and old, "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL"!!! AMEN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
why everyone say that its a wig when see a healthi long curly hair, like wtf, just take care of your own hair that you will see how beautiful it can get (kisses from brazil i love your videos ♡♡♡ )
blah she said it on the video "haters on her Instagram (or whatever site) said wig/weave"...that's who originally said it. She didn't say haters but lol that's how it translates...her hair is pretty...I miss my hair being that thick. Happy New Year ♡
Luh Nonato because most black women manipulate with heat. my hair use to be so long until i over straightened it. now its almost a decade later. black ladies dont know no heat and moisture is beautiful hair.
Mellymel Mellymel Yes. I’ve always hated my straight thin hair. But I realized I’ve been doin bad stuff with my hair. So instead of showering everyday I take a few showers a week. I also stopped using so much chemicals on my hair. Also stop scratching your scalp.
Keyword in your statement is "force" . I use to force my hair to lay down for it to be straight without know my hair at all. I have just started my hair journey and I really believe you can get to the point where you know so much about your you could do curly and straight styles without damage. I never learned to love my hair or to take care of it and to do both you need to learn about your hair everyone is different and one doesn't work for all
ok but shes talking about fixing it, my hair was naturally thick but over time i damaged it and lost alot of hair due to stress cause of people that i know, i love my hair, but not thin cause thats not my natural hair i want it back to natural which is thick and frizzy
I'll never forget October 5th,2005 I did my "BIG CHOP" and my co-workers thought I'd had a nervous breakdown or something!! I had medium length hair permed, damaged and in braids that I had in for two months, so I had quite a bit of new growth. I took each braid and cut it off!!!! I knew everything in the braids was permed hair and everything left was fresh, undamaged, non relaxed hair, but even more that hair was healthy hair. I went to work the next day and my co-workers were like "Is everything okay, do you want to talk about it, I'm here if you need me"! I'm like what in the world!! Back in 2005 there weren't the UA-cam platforms you see today as a matter of fact the main site I followed at the time was Nappturality. We've come a long way and I'm loving what I see, God bless you all.
Jewellianna Palencia Will my hair grow back because I use to have really long hair until it broke off and now I have short hair will my hair grow back without wearing weave to my hair Because I do not like adding weave to my natural hair I just want to know will my hair grow back like it was before it broke off
Yolanda Sadler If you keep your hair healthy it will and if your trying to put weave make sure it's not tight and don't wear ponytails often if you do wear it lose is it won't put pressure on your hair .
I thought I would do that once every 7-8 months to cut my ends because it's so hard for me to do when curly. I first did it a few weeks back. I used very low heat and moisturized the heck out of it before hand. Didn't damage it at all. Actuallu was really soft. But I guess it all depends on the person too.
I do believe in some cases heat can help retain length. If you have thick 4C hair that gets hopelessly tangled, doing regular light blow outs after washing could ensure that the hair stays stretched and doesn't break when manipulated due to tangles and shrinkage. It could be the lesser of two evils if the manipulation you have to do to keep your hair stretched leads to breakage anyway. No flat ironing is a good rule, but blowouts aren't always bad.
Gigi Vlogs go girl!!✨,I can’t do one because my family would never let me because long hair is more important for them,I have shoulder length hair that’s bleached2x,colored with heat damage and breakage but I’ll just never add chemicals or heat and moisturize and do braids,I really hope my hair can grow long like this 😩
I remember when my sister uploaded a photo of my hair and someone was like “that’s a wig”. I don’t understand why people think every black girl with long natural hair are weave/wigs
Because of the thickness. When you have natural hair it can be extremely thick - and i think we take that for granted. Mind you years ago, when i used to destroy my hair a lot, it was still extremely thick - and my sister would look at me sometimes and always say that if people didn't know me they would believe that i wore a wig, in fact i got a lot of flack for it because people always thought that it was not mine or i had extensions or something. In fact another friend that i thought had added pieces to her hair, did not - that's how extremely thick her hair was- it was only after she stayed with me for about 2-3 weeks that i realized it was all hers, another one shaved off 1/3 of her hair and then the next Sunday that i saw her it was like she never had shaved off that bit. So yes a lot of black people have very thick hair, and people just looking at it believes that its' a wig.
Evans Zee plant guru and plant therapy Eden's garden make great essential oils. FYI you should always research any new product you use for your hair. As everyone's chemical structure is varies. You may not experience the same results. However you will experience results.
i'm 16 and i've been natural my whole life and i'm only bra strap length i literally thought i was doing all the right things as soon as i got old enough to take care of my own hair (around 12) but you just made me realize that detangling days were so bad when i was younger. i used to wait a long time before i detangled my hair and when my mom did, she was so rough and just powering through the tangles with the comb. i think im pretty careful now, but i'm going to be so much more careful and patient with my hair. thanks so much for making this video your hair is extremely beautiful.
Micaiah Williams I have the exact same situation as you. I'm 18 and I've been natural my whole life realising I've been doing it wrong. One tip that has made my hair better is using a moisturising conditioner before detangling and LOC method
Because He Lives absolutely! I was never able to put a finger through my hair but ever since I've been researching how to take care of natural hair it has improved so much.
Because He Lives I can't advise you on exact products because we may have different hair types (I'm in the 4's) but I will say find a good leave in conditioner and detangle your hair by spraying water mixed with aloe Vera. Find a good sealant like grape seed oil or a mixture of some good oils for hair growth and find a moisturising cream (coconut curling cream, works a charm for all hair types) if you want extra advice, put the cream before the oil to make your curls pop. Sorry this is awfully long
+Isabella Giani Exactly! I know my hair is growing but I just haven't been doing the best at being gentle with it so that it retains length instead of breaking. Ive use aloe Vera juice mixed with water before but as soon as I ran out, I didn't buy anymore so I'm definitely going to start using that again.
I started my healthy hair journey like 3 weeks ago and i must say - I genuinely see a difference ( i wish i took before and after measurements ). I wash every week, i deep condition it, i do protective hairstyles like bantu knots and conrows. My hair is so much more happier now - its a lot curlier than before and softer than it was before because its always moisturized.
Your hair is so thick & healthy... it's so beautiful. & I know it's gonna sound like I'm defending heat, but I straighten my hair once a month or every two months & wear it straight for a week & my hair has grown so much & it's so healthy now. Exactly a year ago I bleached my hair twice within 2 weeks & it broke off sooooo bad. It was so dry & brittle. It just now grew back to the length it was before. But I will say that back in July when I stopped straightening it everyday & only once every couple of months it grew way faster!
You have beautiful hair all bcuz YOU took the time to care for it. You can be proud of that. No need to prove to anyone anything about your hair growth. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful tips and advice. I'm inspired. 😊
I remember a few months ago me and my natural hair friends were in class and were talking ab our hair and this white girl was like “you should straighten your hair “ and I said no bc it takes me hours to do and it damages my hair and so she got an whole attitude with me🤦🏽♀️SMH
I would've been like "You should keep quiet." Seriously, that's SO disrespectful, and she should've known better than to give her unsolicited two cents!
Elita Ali it's not about jealousy. It's about this stigma people have thinking that black girls can't have long hair. We at a young age are bullied because people consider our hair to be nappy. I wear weave from time to time and I will look at her hair and definitely believe it's hers. You can't put people all in one box.
Do you know what I agree with you but at the same time don't you think we also have to take with some of this stigma about weaves and wigs with black hair. I go on twitter and there are always girls talking about weaves and wigs -which they should freely , but we can''t blame others for thinking some our hairstyles are wigs, if that makes sense. It's also confusing when people say they are natural for like 3, 5 years but we only see weaves because its protective styling
As soon as I style my curls and they dry voluminous people comment 'nice wig' and it gets so fucking annoying sometimes atleast some people understand it
and do you leave in your conditioner when you wash it because in your 100 pumps video you did it, and i was just wondering if you did that all the time
I am inspired! I started my hair journey this month. I hair was short and past my ears but, I cut it shorter to wear it's not touching my ears. I am 20 and I've never cared or took the time to actually give my natural hair what it truly needed. My goal it to make it healthier and get it past my ears then to my shoulders. She makes me feel like one day my hair can look like that. I can't wait to learn to love my natural hair each step of the way💕😭
Hope of what? That you don't have to wear fake hair on your head? Idiot learn to love your natural hair its even a shameful thing that you think it's normal to have wigs
I had heat & (curly) perm damage at one point, and had to cut it from hip length back to bra strap length. Pretty big set back. But, after years, my hair is now all virgin (no services on it, no dye, no heat, no nothing) and it is butt length (classic length). I do use a diffuser on warm/cool. As long as you can hold your hand in the airstream without it burning your skin, it's fine for the hair as well, and I have to get the roots dry (as I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis) and it's not good to leave the hair wet for too long. Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience! :D
Yes! Go hair length goals! And yes, I meant to say that about blow dryers being okay (sometimes) in my video but I forgot; I put it in my comments section though! But I agree that using a blow dryer on warm/ cool is completely okay. I was more-so referring to blow-outs to straighten/ stretch the hair rather than to gradually dry the hair. And thanks for sharing your experience as well!!!
JeweJewe Bee You're welcome. I'm sure it came across about the blow drying. I'm sure it's fairly common sense that a tool can be used or abused, that goes for a blow dryer most certainly! :D
I remember a few years back I went through this little hair midlife crisis so I relaxed my hair with a SUPER strength relaxer and also my hair was already light golden blonde when I did this. After that I really went crazy and dyed it AGAIN this time an even lighter shade of blonde!! I guess I was really testing my hair's limits! Lol! 😂 It gets better then after all of that I had the nerve to relax my hair AGAIIIIIIIN and I did all this madness in a 2 week span. Guess what when I washing the relaxer out for the last time literally my hair broke up with me and came out in clumps while I was washing it out! Needless to say I haven't processed my hair since and my hair is long and healthy now, we all have a hair story in some way!
I've been natural since about 2012 and I've only recently learned about heat damage! I'm glad that there's such a wonderful natural community on UA-cam so I can continue to learn and grow with my hair.
very beautiful and healthy hair. I came into this journey Jan 2010 w such high hopes of length retention and healthy beautiful hair. Ive spent money in cheap and expensive products and vitamins done all the methods of hair care - inversion, greenhouse, silk caps, WOC, WCO, humectants, eating plant based, eating fatty fish, over a gallon of water daily, hair hope growth oil, lol you name it. my hair has not passed my chin in 6years. its very thin does not retain length. I was in the past disillusioned and disappointed by the whole "natural hair movement" but I had to realize my 4z hair will do what it do so I just do limited manipulation to my hair mostly protective styling and just believe it is beautiful in this state.
It’s been 9 weeks since I lost half my hair from bleaching and dying it. (It was 1 month apart but took 3 days so I shaved my head to a buzz cut) I still haven’t grown all the hair back so I will try to follow this thing.
SAME! Heat for me once a year. I also get it trimmed and styled after my hair is professionally flatironed. After that...Natural all year long...no heat whatsoever. Good stuff!
3:52 you're so right. I flat ironed my hair for the first time in a year and used tons of heat protectant but I still got heat damage in the back of my head since it's looser).
JeweJewe Bee Hi jew!! I have been natural for 3years and I can't get my hair to grow past collar bone length no matter what i do. I was wondering if there were any other tips that you could share. Thanks!
I had waist length hair, i straightened it a few months ago for a cruise and i ended up with extreme heat damage, a good 4 inches of my hair was bone straight at the ends. During the cruise i was so surprised that my hair didn't revert, then I found out why, my hair was so damaged, my heavy ends were bone straight the curl was all gone. I wanted to cry, I went on a rant because I straightened it because "others" wanted me to. I went on a "God gave me this curly wavy hair so love me how I am or move on" rant.
Hello Jewe Jewe bee first I want to say thank you so much for having a channel like this, that has bless my youngest daughter and I. We will be followed to your new videos for sure. We have looked at so many videos on hair, but was that inspired to keep listening until my daughter found your page, we knew right way that The LORD(Yahweh) lead us to your page, and for that we are so grateful, I have had major surgeries on my back and neck and have to take so much medication, which as cause my hair to go through some changes. So with prayer and your information we are set. We have been back to our natural state for about a year now and it's wonderful, perms are so bad for your and my daughter and I was starting to have headaches really bad and had lumps in our head. But as soon as we stopped, no more headaches, damaged hair, and all the lumps disappeared. Praise Yah, we were so happy. Well we will send you pictures of our hair after we take the additional steps you have done to make your hair awesome and beautiful, also by the way you have a beautiful spirit. Thanks for being unique, we love your page. Keep up the good work and no matter what,ALWAYS STAY FOCUS. Bless you.
It's weird. My hair grew more when I straightened it every day versus now that I'm natural. Tomorrow I'm just gonna try to do the inversion method to see if that will help.
About 2 years ago I spent almost every day for a whole year straightening my hair, it was absolutely DESTROYED after the amount of heat and on top of that I had dyed my hair as I was uncomfortable with the natural red colour. Now I know watching videos like this, natural curly hair is so much better for my hair and even though it's a slow process I am bringing it back to health :) I used to think there's no way it will ever grow past a certain length but if i just keep taking care of it some day it will :D
your hair is so beautiful! my hair is basic, thin and stringy. But i want my hair to be its best self, as beautiful as it can be, just like you have worked to done.
That face you made when you said people were commenting "that's a weave." 😂😂 I've been watching your videos since 2013!!! I still replay your old ones.
I'm sorry I have nothing against anyone dont take it personal just my 2 cents, because Ive been both natural -have been bald twice with tweeny afro and relaxed. I've tried doing the natural thing and couldnt even detangle my hair with a comb at a certain point. My hair didnt lay flat at all..so Im walking around with poofy hair once it dries unless you get twists or braids. And found that natural hair tends to be way drier. I rather just relax every 3 months lol I like being able to cowash and comb my hair from root to tip. I do see a difference with the health of your hair but I dont have 2c-3c type hair-those are the wavy types that dont get brillo pad thick when their wash n go dries. I originally have 4c hair a big difference with these two natural hair types. I believe you can still have healthy relaxed hair just dont relax every month simple
Your hair is beautiful. My hair was at its healthiest when I used a mild relaxer every 6 months years ago and did roller wraps at the salon. Bra strap length is all I can deal with.
Maria M this is what i did. i started out with not using heat for 3 months then went from there. now i challenged myself to not use it for a year and im currently at 10 months and i've seen so much growth so far!
LaDiamond Shaw I'm excited I'm so tired of the heat I don't think I will have a problem doing a year. my curls will thank me lol can't wait to see my growth
Breakfast foods welcome you should apply grapeseed oil throughout your hair, making sure to focus on the scalp especially and the ends (not as much as the scalp though). I SWEAR when my mom cut my bangs too low I had to pin them back everyday until they grew out because girl that was humiliating. I applied grapeseed oil very frequently on my bangs and they grew out SUPER fast. think I'm lyin! 😘
Braid it up or even weave it for 2/3 months I guarantee your hair will grow. I grew mine to my butt that way. No leave out and take your precious time taking braids and weaves out.
Wohaaaa, your hair is so absolutely gorrrrrrrgeous !!!! I totally agree with all what you say about heat and chemical damages (not to mention your very pleasant soft voice) !... I'm a 54 y.o. lady who is growing her 100% caucasian wavy hair to terminal length (now past classic length), and a lot of people ask me "how I do". Lol : I just refrain ruining my keratin with heat, perms, bleach and dyes ! Whatever the hair texture, keratin is keratin. And keratin HATES heat, which makes it brittle and dull. Thanks for this sincere informative video and long life to your shiny luscious locks ! :-)
Very good information...it took me 50+ years, to realize the very same (exact) facts about my hair. Even at my age, with my body's hormonal change the same hair maintenance is working for me...I hope some of your audience consider this maintenance...especially younger women, because they will have many years to really enjoy their hair...this was an amazing discovery for me.
nice hair...there type of expensive relaxer i do in saloon never damaged it...doing relaxer every year only twice, every six months is ok my hair grow faster...i massage every day...eatting healthy...drinking alot of water...using many natural mask for hair make it better
Thankyou soooososo much!!!! This video really helped me because I used to have a big nice curly carribean fro but I kept on straightening it everyyy day! I had thin split disgusting hair. Now I replenished my natural hair and I all owe it to u. Thanks :)!
GORGEOUS HAIR!!! I do not do any of those things and yet my hair is thinning. I am going to start doing the protein treatments because I saw where someone on YT said that your hair can be stripped of protein if it's kept in a wet state and I was doing the GHE constantly. Thanks so much for your encouragement and proof that you Can restore thickness to your hair.
Getting rid of heat is THE BEST THING!! i haven't used direct heat in 3 years and my hair grew faster and is now longer than it has ever been ~ but now i'm suffering from hair loss.. and i don't know what that's about xD haha like my hair breaks quite easily even from just braiding it. so i'm working on that right now~ working on starting my healthy hair journey again this week ~ >>i've never gone and gotten a pro hair cut and I'm shit scared too
Perhaps you hair needs more moisture and is protein sensitve. I'm no expert but perhaps start by drinking more water and moisturising more regularly with water based products to see if it helps.
Girl! I love your hair. It's absolutely beautiful. I use to have thicker hair but I always straighten it, bleach it and wore hair extensions. So my hair is nothing like it was when I was 14. 😫 I love your information and I'm totally going with it! No more heat!
I'm that person who only needs one use of heat to damage it. I went to a salon to get a wash and set for the first day of school. She washed it alright, and I didn't realize at the time but she didn't even set it in the curlers and put it under the dryer, she blow dried it while it was still wet! And after that still flat ironed it! I was so blessed I only had damage on my ends, but my hair smelt like flat iron whenever I wet it. I let my sister cut it, and it's growing back long and healthy now😊Bless up🙌🏾 Also I'm a new subbie💚
These are kinda obvious tips (for anyone with an ounce of black hair knowledge). It's the same thing, no heat, no styling, colours yada yada. All good in themselves, but I know plenty of people who doing all of that and their hair still up on their shoulders. Sometimes I think these hair "gurus" aren't telling us everything...or maybe their hair just grows like that. Best tip for moi, cinnamon oil, invertion method (you can take that to the hair bank) ;)
Girl im thinking d same thing ... i didnt get no product tips from she... like i mean her coils kinky n huge now like hair for 2 ppls head but before it was less than one persons head. Im just confused af how does that even happen??? Im waiting on my hair to grow over a year and a bit after caribean hair salon secretly relaxed my hair n nigerian hair dresser ripped out 55% of my hair n my hair took 15 yrs to grow to the length it was originaly im doing everything n my hair dont grow at all....
It depends on genetics but some probably take hair vitamins...I do know oils are good for the hair and helps it to grow...wild growth oil is good...I used it myself, the smell isn't too great though
Thank you!! My hair is super long, damaged and thin. I also flat iron the hell out of it. It falls out so bad when I wash it. Lately, I've been so frustrated and just throw it up in a bun while still wet. I'm going to follow your tips. I used to have really nice curly hair and would love to have it back. Your vid is a huge inspiration. Your hair is gorgeous!!
I've always had thick curly hair and a month ago i got a filler treatment at a salon (to defrizz my hair) and ever since my hair got much thinner (literally half of my hair is gone) my hair is currently shedding like crazy.
We are beautiful in so many ways. One them being the texture of our hair. People for so long had us denying our beauty. To cover up the insecurities they have. This is why it's important to keep this up. So young girls like us can feel beautiful as they grow up. Just the way they are. Teach them to embrace the beauty that they hold with in them. That no matter what texture they have it's beautiful. They just need to nourish your hair.
Make sure you follow me on SnapChat👻: JeweJeweBee! I hope you guys enjoy my video for how I repaired my damaged hair. Also, when I mentioned blow drying not being good, I meant blow outs with high heat. I occasionally use blow dryers to dry my curly hair and they aren't bad when used sparingly (if the heat is not high)/or to straighten the hair. Using a blow dryer on high heat can cause heat damage just like a flat iron. Of course, using a blow dryer on the cool setting is 100% fine (and may even benefit the hair)! Please leave your questions and comments below! And you can follow me on instagram at: JeweJeweBee! Have a great day 😘❤️
love you girl! our hair is so similar in curl pattern (mine is just naturally thinner). since I'm almost done transitioning I've limited the use of heat on my hair drastically. I still do flat iron but I'm more cautious. how did you get comfortable with wearing your curly hair. I'm still trying to get used to it and get my curls to flourish.
Hey, just wanted to know what your thoughts on highlighting are?
Highlighting is better than dyeing your entire head because it's only doing select/ limited areas of hair. But it is still damaging those areas of your hair that are highlighted. I used to highlight the front of my hair because I would cut bangs and layers their, so it wouldn't really be a big deal if it was damaged or not. But I wouldn't recommend harsh chemicals to anyone who wants their longest and healthiest hair.
Thank you for your tips!
JeweJewe Bee I'm scared of straightening my hair because of heat damage how can I completely prevent that? Because my worst fear is doing it and then ending up with it.
1. No heat
2. no chemicals (dyes n relaxers)
3. Trim damaged hair
4. Weekly protein treatment/deep condition
5. Use more moisturising products
6. Be gentle with detangling
Thanks 👏🏾

I do all this and my hair i Sooo Much stronger and thicker!!!
most of the time the reason black women cant "grow" hair is because society tells them from a young age to tame it, and put it away. relaxers, flat irons, and tight pony tails break hair. so as it grows it breaks off. i personally believe in natural. im white but i use some of the oils and treatments you do because it really does help a lot. your hair is beautiful
Kalee Lynn so true
Ariel TheMermaid wdym "who says that" a lot of people in today's society
Ariel TheMermaid nobody necessarily has to say dumbass. There are young black girls I see at my school who straighten their hair way too much and you can tell it's braking off. There are a lot of whit kids in my school who've said and have he come up to me say, " I like your hair better straight than curly". In other words telling them their natural hair is ugly. There is a lot of proof around you. You just need to learn to pay attention and listen
Girl you are so right
@Ariel TheMermaid I've heard plenty of ppl trash black women's hair. It's not necessary to be rude or condescending.😊
It's crazy to think we were conditioned and trained to think that damaged hair was for us and when we actually grow out our hair our own culture thinks that it is fake. We are changing minds in the hair community slowly but surely. Thanks for your story
Mitylene Bailey I agree...That's the mentality that the multi-billion dollar industry has left us with...so happy that many are "waking up to the facts" of the matter.
Angela Freeman Definitely! And what makes me so happy is black women decided to start wearing their natural hair themselves. No outsiders influenced us. We influenced each other, mainly because of naturals on UA-cam and natural hair care websites.We changed things so much in fact that many of those multi-billion dollar companies had to rearrange their marketing and product lines to cater the vast amount of women going natural. We still know their products are crap regardless tho.
Information is so powerful... it's so good to see something constructive being shared vs all the negative stuff, especially when we spend so much time and money on trying to portray images that we were not born into.
Mitylene Bailey yes mam
too many black people in their sunken place, smh
some black women can't comprehend the fact that we can grow our hair thick, long, & healthy. Hence the rude wig comments 🙄
Kira Bolden i’m all natural but have thin hair. Would love thick hair
I hate when people say that it's a wig or weave like African American women can't grow long hair! That is a lie that black women can't grow long hair because they can
+BigMeech Ghandi Being "biracial" has nothing to do with hair growth. Stupid statement.
+Elita Ali biracial COULD mean a looser texture therefore less shrinkage so it will seem like it's growing faster and tighter hair = more breakage
What? It can have EVERYTHING to do with it.

Thank you! I totally agree with you.
Thank you for the inspiration, it's my prayer as a 57 year old woman all the way from Africa, we're beautiful the way God created us, God did not make a mistake, being black, wearing your natural hair, no relaxing, no dyeing, just natural and using essential oils for moisturizing, taking good care of the dry scalp, style however you want, black women are naturally gorgeous. Let's be proud of our heritage and stop making these businesses on relaxers, wigs, weaves, dyes more rich at our expense. It's time black women take their power back from this stigma in believing that when you're more like a white woman, then that's what's considered beautiful, we're keeping ourselves under the oppression of white people, with this mentality, because they see how we have been trying to look more like them. The world is waiting to see a black woman, being black, but amazingly gorgeous. Black is beautiful. I have been natural going for 10 years now, with my grey natural hair, that other races are giving me compliments on how beautiful I look. Black, proud and beautiful. To all black women reading this, young and old, "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL"!!! AMEN! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Thank you God Bless you too 🤩
why everyone say that its a wig when see a healthi long curly hair, like wtf, just take care of your own hair that you will see how beautiful it can get (kisses from brazil i love your videos ♡♡♡ )
who is sayin that?....dayum...sistahs can grow gorgeous hair....duh.
blah she said it on the video "haters on her Instagram (or whatever site) said wig/weave"...that's who originally said it. She didn't say haters but lol that's how it translates...her hair is pretty...I miss my hair being that thick.
Happy New Year ♡
blah...I've gotten told is that a wig or it looks like a wig or that's a wig from caucasian and black people.

Luh Nonato because most black women manipulate with heat. my hair use to be so long until i over straightened it. now its almost a decade later. black ladies dont know no heat and moisture is beautiful hair.
So basically just embrace your natural hair. Stop trying to force it to be something that it's not. Be grateful that you even have hair.
Mellymel Mellymel Yes. I’ve always hated my straight thin hair. But I realized I’ve been doin bad stuff with my hair. So instead of showering everyday I take a few showers a week. I also stopped using so much chemicals on my hair. Also stop scratching your scalp.
Malachi Douglas did it grow thicker? How much longer
Keyword in your statement is "force" . I use to force my hair to lay down for it to be straight without know my hair at all. I have just started my hair journey and I really believe you can get to the point where you know so much about your you could do curly and straight styles without damage. I never learned to love my hair or to take care of it and to do both you need to learn about your hair everyone is different and one doesn't work for all
ok but shes talking about fixing it, my hair was naturally thick but over time i damaged it and lost alot of hair due to stress cause of people that i know, i love my hair, but not thin cause thats not my natural hair i want it back to natural which is thick and frizzy
Be grateful you have hair?? You should fell blessed you have hair like ours.. It's just beautiful..
"you can see the scalp" 😂 girl the haters be out of control!!! 😣😩
Jermoni Lacy for realll😂
Jermoni Lacy i know thats right!
It’s sad that you have to prove to people that your hair is real. If they take some of your advice, they could have long hair too.
Jaydee Love that was in one spot where she showed the scalp. Show the whole head
Kay Sheff that's not all her hair. Stop lying
I'll never forget October 5th,2005 I did my "BIG CHOP" and my co-workers thought I'd had a nervous breakdown or something!! I had medium length hair permed, damaged and in braids that I had in for two months, so I had quite a bit of new growth. I took each braid and cut it off!!!! I knew everything in the braids was permed hair and everything left was fresh, undamaged, non relaxed hair, but even more that hair was healthy hair. I went to work the next day and my co-workers were like "Is everything okay, do you want to talk about it, I'm here if you need me"! I'm like what in the world!! Back in 2005 there weren't the UA-cam platforms you see today as a matter of fact the main site I followed at the time was Nappturality. We've come a long way and I'm loving what I see, God bless you all.
You and your is gorgeous ❤️💁🏽.. some people are still in denial by the fact that Black hair GROWS... 😚
I thought her choker was her hair for a good second lol
same
that called choker!! lmfao
Goji Berry ohhh shiiittt never realized that it was a choker 😂
Lol same 🤣🙄
I was gonna straighten my hair for the Wendy Show. Saw this and changed my mind.
Yasssss!! Because your curls are poppin!!
Jewellianna Palencia Will my hair grow back because I use to have really long hair until it broke off and now I have short hair will my hair grow back without wearing weave to my hair Because I do not like adding weave to my natural hair I just want to know will my hair grow back like it was before it broke off
Yolanda Sadler If you keep your hair healthy it will and if your trying to put weave make sure it's not tight and don't wear ponytails often if you do wear it lose is it won't put pressure on your hair .
@Moiyshee Good. DON'T straighten your hair. You're gonna love your natural hair journy when you see good results😊
I thought I would do that once every 7-8 months to cut my ends because it's so hard for me to do when curly. I first did it a few weeks back. I used very low heat and moisturized the heck out of it before hand. Didn't damage it at all. Actuallu was really soft. But I guess it all depends on the person too.
my curly hair is so thin 😭😭😭 I hope I can get it thicker one day!

I'm a guy and I'm jealous of your hair
😂
dang girl, great hair transformation!
Thank you!!
I lost a ton of hair i used to have amazing hair but now it’s thin and i miss my thick beautiful hair
I do believe in some cases heat can help retain length. If you have thick 4C hair that gets hopelessly tangled, doing regular light blow outs after washing could ensure that the hair stays stretched and doesn't break when manipulated due to tangles and shrinkage. It could be the lesser of two evils if the manipulation you have to do to keep your hair stretched leads to breakage anyway. No flat ironing is a good rule, but blowouts aren't always bad.
teenage spaceland agreed!!!!
I just did my big chop 3 days ago, cannot wait for the healthy hair journey ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍
Gigi Vlogs go girl!!✨,I can’t do one because my family would never let me because long hair is more important for them,I have shoulder length hair that’s bleached2x,colored with heat damage and breakage but I’ll just never add chemicals or heat and moisturize and do braids,I really hope my hair can grow long like this 😩
Your hair is literally my inspiration to continue on with my transition journey. 💪🏾💪🏾 I'm 9 months in!
Sha-Niyah Ortiz same. I've been natural my whole life but I was getting hot oil treatments and silk press every 2-4 weeks for about 5 years straight
c l y n e x t d o o r that's crazy. Yeah I just recently make a year
congrats on the journey, I started transitioning last June, how is your hair now?
Sha-Niyah Ortiz im only 3 weeks in lol
Sha-Niyah Ortiz Amen...
I remember when my sister uploaded a photo of my hair and someone was like “that’s a wig”. I don’t understand why people think every black girl with long natural hair are weave/wigs
Because of the thickness. When you have natural hair it can be extremely thick - and i think we take that for granted. Mind you years ago, when i used to destroy my hair a lot, it was still extremely thick - and my sister would look at me sometimes and always say that if people didn't know me they would believe that i wore a wig, in fact i got a lot of flack for it because people always thought that it was not mine or i had extensions or something. In fact another friend that i thought had added pieces to her hair, did not - that's how extremely thick her hair was- it was only after she stayed with me for about 2-3 weeks that i realized it was all hers, another one shaved off 1/3 of her hair and then the next Sunday that i saw her it was like she never had shaved off that bit. So yes a lot of black people have very thick hair, and people just looking at it believes that its' a wig.
Hey ladies....essential oils are wonderful for your hair...research which ones are the best...I recommend peppermint, rosemary, lavender clary sage sandalwood... carriers, castor oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil, avacado oil, argan oil etc....
Evans Zee plant guru and plant therapy Eden's garden make great essential oils. FYI you should always research any new product you use for your hair. As everyone's chemical structure is varies. You may not experience the same results. However you will experience results.
I use blessed oil in my hair FORREAL. I catch the holyghost when I do a length check. Thankyou Jesus.
Tornesha Bethel I mixed peppermint and coconut oil together and they are so good on my hair
I use the wild growth oil it really works
simply abbey x
My mom agreed with me to go natural!! I'm starting tomorrow after I take out my braids!!!
How you doin ? Is your hair better now ... hope you're keep going
How's your hair doing now?
Omg you’ve been natural for 3 years ! We need an update!!
@@mayfia I'm also transitioning.. I am 5 months transitioning now.. and I can tell it's not that easy.
@@mvakelly7973 update?
i'm 16 and i've been natural my whole life and i'm only bra strap length i literally thought i was doing all the right things as soon as i got old enough to take care of my own hair (around 12) but you just made me realize that detangling days were so bad when i was younger. i used to wait a long time before i detangled my hair and when my mom did, she was so rough and just powering through the tangles with the comb. i think im pretty careful now, but i'm going to be so much more careful and patient with my hair. thanks so much for making this video your hair is extremely beautiful.
Micaiah Williams I have the exact same situation as you. I'm 18 and I've been natural my whole life realising I've been doing it wrong. One tip that has made my hair better is using a moisturising conditioner before detangling and LOC method
Isabella Giani have you been seeing results? And what products do you use for the l.o.c. method?
Because He Lives absolutely! I was never able to put a finger through my hair but ever since I've been researching how to take care of natural hair it has improved so much.
Because He Lives I can't advise you on exact products because we may have different hair types (I'm in the 4's) but I will say find a good leave in conditioner and detangle your hair by spraying water mixed with aloe Vera. Find a good sealant like grape seed oil or a mixture of some good oils for hair growth and find a moisturising cream (coconut curling cream, works a charm for all hair types) if you want extra advice, put the cream before the oil to make your curls pop. Sorry this is awfully long
+Isabella Giani Exactly! I know my hair is growing but I just haven't been doing the best at being gentle with it so that it retains length instead of breaking. Ive use aloe Vera juice mixed with water before but as soon as I ran out, I didn't buy anymore so I'm definitely going to start using that again.
Your hair is legit goals. So healthy and beautiful. Great video 🌻
Aww thanks so much girly! SO are your curls😻😻😻
I started my healthy hair journey like 3 weeks ago and i must say - I genuinely see a difference ( i wish i took before and after measurements ). I wash every week, i deep condition it, i do protective hairstyles like bantu knots and conrows. My hair is so much more happier now - its a lot curlier than before and softer than it was before because its always moisturized.
Your hair is so thick & healthy... it's so beautiful. & I know it's gonna sound like I'm defending heat, but I straighten my hair once a month or every two months & wear it straight for a week & my hair has grown so much & it's so healthy now. Exactly a year ago I bleached my hair twice within 2 weeks & it broke off sooooo bad. It was so dry & brittle. It just now grew back to the length it was before. But I will say that back in July when I stopped straightening it everyday & only once every couple of months it grew way faster!
I love actually listening to her because she tells us the real deal, and what will ACTUALLY work.
Hair goalsssss
Thank youuuu!!!
Jewellianna Palencia Your hair is da bomb gurly!!!
I love how she says in my opinion and isn't rude and just telling people what to do.
I LOVE YOUR HAIR. DEFINITELY not a wig.
You have beautiful hair all bcuz YOU took the time to care for it. You can be proud of that. No need to prove to anyone anything about your hair growth. Thank you for sharing all the wonderful tips and advice. I'm inspired. 😊
I remember a few months ago me and my natural hair friends were in class and were talking ab our hair and this white girl was like “you should straighten your hair “ and I said no bc it takes me hours to do and it damages my hair and so she got an whole attitude with me🤦🏽♀️SMH
I would've been like "You should keep quiet." Seriously, that's SO disrespectful, and she should've known better than to give her unsolicited two cents!
I would've said "but did I ask for your opinion on my appearance tho? "
Only a weave/wig wearer would think your hair isn't real 😡...jealous people!
Elita Ali it's not about jealousy. It's about this stigma people have thinking that black girls can't have long hair. We at a young age are bullied because people consider our hair to be nappy. I wear weave from time to time and I will look at her hair and definitely believe it's hers. You can't put people all in one box.
Do you know what I agree with you but at the same time don't you think we also have to take with some of this stigma about weaves and wigs with black hair. I go on twitter and there are always girls talking about weaves and wigs -which they should freely , but we can''t blame others for thinking some our hairstyles are wigs, if that makes sense. It's also confusing when people say they are natural for like 3, 5 years but we only see weaves because its protective styling
how mature
.
Jennifer Virginie What?
Girl, the thing damaging my hair is stress.
people be so ready to hate on somebody 💀 like obviously it's not a wig smh
@Kiara Shephard plenty of people
As soon as I style my curls and they dry voluminous people comment 'nice wig' and it gets so fucking annoying sometimes atleast some people understand it
hair transformation goals
and do you leave in your conditioner when you wash it because in your 100 pumps video you did it, and i was just wondering if you did that all the time
I do leave my conditioner in the majority of the time (sometimes I'll rinse 50-80% of it out) and I'll usually put a leave-in on top of it.
I don't know why but I want to see her hair in a bun lol
i was thinking the same thing while watching the video
Panda Shakur95 I think it will look extremely cute 🙈✨💕 I hope she read this and do it

I am inspired! I started my hair journey this month. I hair was short and past my ears but, I cut it shorter to wear it's not touching my ears. I am 20 and I've never cared or took the time to actually give my natural hair what it truly needed. My goal it to make it healthier and get it past my ears then to my shoulders. She makes me feel like one day my hair can look like that. I can't wait to learn to love my natural hair each step of the way💕😭
Your hair journey gives me so much Hope!!!!
Hope of what? That you don't have to wear fake hair on your head? Idiot learn to love your natural hair its even a shameful thing that you think it's normal to have wigs
I've done the big chop! The growing takes soooo long!!
Look at your big chop video and compare...
Mixed Features how your hair look now
DaReal Princess it should be long now, it’s been 3 years lol
Ayden Sumerall i have 3 yeard no chemical and still no thickening and no growing fast idt frustrating..
I had heat & (curly) perm damage at one point, and had to cut it from hip length back to bra strap length. Pretty big set back. But, after years, my hair is now all virgin (no services on it, no dye, no heat, no nothing) and it is butt length (classic length). I do use a diffuser on warm/cool. As long as you can hold your hand in the airstream without it burning your skin, it's fine for the hair as well, and I have to get the roots dry (as I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis) and it's not good to leave the hair wet for too long. Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience! :D
Yes! Go hair length goals! And yes, I meant to say that about blow dryers being okay (sometimes) in my video but I forgot; I put it in my comments section though! But I agree that using a blow dryer on warm/ cool is completely okay. I was more-so referring to blow-outs to straighten/ stretch the hair rather than to gradually dry the hair. And thanks for sharing your experience as well!!!
JeweJewe Bee
You're welcome. I'm sure it came across about the blow drying. I'm sure it's fairly common sense that a tool can be used or abused, that goes for a blow dryer most certainly! :D
Your hair is so freaking gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful.
I remember a few years back I went through this little hair midlife crisis so I relaxed my hair with a SUPER strength relaxer and also my hair was already light golden blonde when I did this. After that I really went crazy and dyed it AGAIN this time an even lighter shade of blonde!! I guess I was really testing my hair's limits! Lol! 😂 It gets better then after all of that I had the nerve to relax my hair AGAIIIIIIIN and I did all this madness in a 2 week span. Guess what when I washing the relaxer out for the last time literally my hair broke up with me and came out in clumps while I was washing it out! Needless to say I haven't processed my hair since and my hair is long and healthy now, we all have a hair story in some way!
this happened to me i wanted to cry
Britt Brit you’re hilarious! You should write short stories!❤️
I've been natural since about 2012 and I've only recently learned about heat damage! I'm glad that there's such a wonderful natural community on UA-cam so I can continue to learn and grow with my hair.
I cringe at you flat ironing when wet I hear the sizzling
Me too when I think about it now! lol
the beginning was such a flex
very beautiful and healthy hair. I came into this journey Jan 2010 w such high hopes of length retention and healthy beautiful hair. Ive spent money in cheap and expensive products and vitamins done all the methods of hair care - inversion, greenhouse, silk caps, WOC, WCO, humectants, eating plant based, eating fatty fish, over a gallon of water daily, hair hope growth oil, lol you name it. my hair has not passed my chin in 6years. its very thin does not retain length. I was in the past disillusioned and disappointed by the whole "natural hair movement" but I had to realize my 4z hair will do what it do so I just do limited manipulation to my hair mostly protective styling and just believe it is beautiful in this state.
It’s been 9 weeks since I lost half my hair from bleaching and dying it. (It was 1 month apart but took 3 days so I shaved my head to a buzz cut) I still haven’t grown all the hair back so I will try to follow this thing.
Girl!!! you are my hair crush!! Love your hair. So beautiful!!
Aww thank you!!
SAME! Heat for me once a year. I also get it trimmed and styled after my hair is professionally flatironed. After that...Natural all year long...no heat whatsoever. Good stuff!
3:52 you're so right. I flat ironed my hair for the first time in a year and used tons of heat protectant but I still got heat damage in the back of my head since it's looser).
Your hair transformation is one of the most inspiring transformations I have every seen. You're truly blessed.
Yaye!! I'm so glad that you found it inspiring!
girl they are jealous of that luscious mane of yours ❤ my hair goal is to have it like that❤❤❤ I am transitioning now :D
Aww thanks love! And you got this!
JeweJewe Bee Hi jew!! I have been natural for 3years and I can't get my hair to grow past collar bone length no matter what i do. I was wondering if there were any other tips that you could share. Thanks!

Lani Kawaii protective style, ensure your ends are not rubbing on your clothing x
Hairdressers who don’t know curly and are impatient. Ripping your hair!! 🤦🏻♀️💆🏻♀️
I'm going through this now.. the hairdresses ripped my hair out not detanging properly now I'm left with thin hair and heart broken😞😞
I am soooo jealous of your gorgeous hair omg. I have curly hair too but it's just so thin 😭
In 4th grade I wanted my hair to be straight and “pretty” now that its pretty much damage want my natural hair back 😭 I’m in 7th now btw
I had waist length hair, i straightened it a few months ago for a cruise and i ended up with extreme heat damage, a good 4 inches of my hair was bone straight at the ends. During the cruise i was so surprised that my hair didn't revert, then I found out why, my hair was so damaged, my heavy ends were bone straight the curl was all gone. I wanted to cry, I went on a rant because I straightened it because "others" wanted me to. I went on a "God gave me this curly wavy hair so love me how I am or move on" rant.
Hello Jewe Jewe bee first I want to say thank you so much for having a channel like this, that has bless my youngest daughter and I. We will be followed to your new videos for sure. We have looked at so many videos on hair, but was that inspired to keep listening until my daughter found your page, we knew right way that The LORD(Yahweh) lead us to your page, and for that we are so grateful, I have had major surgeries on my back and neck and have to take so much medication, which as cause my hair to go through some changes. So with prayer and your information we are set. We have been back to our natural state for about a year now and it's wonderful, perms are so bad for your and my daughter and I was starting to have headaches really bad and had lumps in our head. But as soon as we stopped, no more headaches, damaged hair, and all the lumps disappeared. Praise Yah, we were so happy. Well we will send you pictures of our hair after we take the additional steps you have done to make your hair awesome and beautiful, also by the way you have a beautiful spirit. Thanks for being unique, we love your page. Keep up the good work and no matter what,ALWAYS STAY FOCUS. Bless you.
It's weird. My hair grew more when I straightened it every day versus now that I'm natural. Tomorrow I'm just gonna try to do the inversion method to see if that will help.
About 2 years ago I spent almost every day for a whole year straightening my hair, it was absolutely DESTROYED after the amount of heat and on top of that I had dyed my hair as I was uncomfortable with the natural red colour. Now I know watching videos like this, natural curly hair is so much better for my hair and even though it's a slow process I am bringing it back to health :) I used to think there's no way it will ever grow past a certain length but if i just keep taking care of it some day it will :D
you have my dream hair!!! I did a perm and I just look like I got electrocuted.. 😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this comments win😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Jesus, your hair is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
I’m so glad I found your channel 😭 we have a similar texture & im starting my natural journey your hair is my goals!!
your hair is so beautiful! my hair is basic, thin and stringy. But i want my hair to be its best self, as beautiful as it can be, just like you have worked to done.
Girllll your hair is giving me life ❤️
Chile that intro 😩🙌🏾 I subbed ASAP
That face you made when you said people were commenting "that's a weave." 😂😂 I've been watching your videos since 2013!!! I still replay your old ones.
HAHAha!! And thanks for watching lovely!!
"We MUST learn to love our OWN"....
Your hair is gorgeous and anybody who say it's a weave or wig is jealous.
I'm sorry I have nothing against anyone dont take it personal just my 2 cents, because Ive been both natural -have been bald twice with tweeny afro and relaxed. I've tried doing the natural thing and couldnt even detangle my hair with a comb at a certain point. My hair didnt lay flat at all..so Im walking around with poofy hair once it dries unless you get twists or braids. And found that natural hair tends to be way drier. I rather just relax every 3 months lol I like being able to cowash and comb my hair from root to tip. I do see a difference with the health of your hair but I dont have 2c-3c type hair-those are the wavy types that dont get brillo pad thick when their wash n go dries. I originally have 4c hair a big difference with these two natural hair types. I believe you can still have healthy relaxed hair just dont relax every month simple
Dont forget how youth plays a role!
Your hair is beautiful. My hair was at its healthiest when I used a mild relaxer every 6 months years ago and did roller wraps at the salon. Bra strap length is all I can deal with.
kita hilyard I used to do roller wraps they make your hair so pretty and bouncy
been at it for years, I am just reaching bras trap. I'm going to challenge myself to not use heat and see if I can finally grow it out
Maria M this is what i did. i started out with not using heat for 3 months then went from there. now i challenged myself to not use it for a year and im currently at 10 months and i've seen so much growth so far!
Yessssss!! You got this +Maria M
+LaDiamond Shaw That's so good girl!! So proud of you for sticking with it!! I'm so glad that you're seeing changes!
LaDiamond Shaw I'm excited I'm so tired of the heat I don't think I will have a problem doing a year. my curls will thank me lol can't wait to see my growth
Maria M lol good luck!!!
This is so true!!! I have done this my whole life (15 years) and I have long, blonde, thick straight hair!!! It works so well y'alll!
I've been natural all 19 years of my life and I try my best to take care of it and I've never gotten past BSL. 🙄🙄🙄
Breakfast foods welcome you should apply grapeseed oil throughout your hair, making sure to focus on the scalp especially and the ends (not as much as the scalp though). I SWEAR when my mom cut my bangs too low I had to pin them back everyday until they grew out because girl that was humiliating. I applied grapeseed oil very frequently on my bangs and they grew out SUPER fast. think I'm lyin! 😘
Too low?? too short* there we go. 😊
Breakfast foods welcome drink green smoothies, if you're taking your hair and not growing maybe fix your diet, spinach and kale help to grow the hair
Braid it up or even weave it for 2/3 months I guarantee your hair will grow. I grew mine to my butt that way. No leave out and take your precious time taking braids and weaves out.
Girl, i haven't got past neck length and i use zero heat😩
Wohaaaa, your hair is so absolutely gorrrrrrrgeous !!!! I totally agree with all what you say about heat and chemical damages (not to mention your very pleasant soft voice) !... I'm a 54 y.o. lady who is growing her 100% caucasian wavy hair to terminal length (now past classic length), and a lot of people ask me "how I do". Lol : I just refrain ruining my keratin with heat, perms, bleach and dyes ! Whatever the hair texture, keratin is keratin. And keratin HATES heat, which makes it brittle and dull. Thanks for this sincere informative video and long life to your shiny luscious locks ! :-)
Tbf your hair already had potential to be this long seeing as it was long when you were younger
Very good information...it took me 50+ years, to realize the very same (exact) facts about my hair. Even at my age, with my body's hormonal change the same hair maintenance is working for me...I hope some of your audience consider this maintenance...especially younger women, because they will have many years to really enjoy their hair...this was an amazing discovery for me.
Thank you!!! And I"m so glad that you realized what works for you!!
My hair more damaged than that.. Like it doesnt even curl anymore when its wet just at the roots...
Amanda Brydson big chop
Amanda Brydson you need a chop boo it will grow and curl again
Amanda Brydson you need a big chop
Jahnia Boone her damage way too high, she need to cut iiit
I had bleached the curls out my hair pattern and what helped me was cantu leave in conditioner
nice hair...there type of expensive relaxer i do in saloon never damaged it...doing relaxer every year only twice, every six months is ok my hair grow faster...i massage every day...eatting healthy...drinking alot of water...using many natural mask for hair make it better
the pictures in the beginning are giving me hope😭
Thankyou soooososo much!!!! This video really helped me because I used to have a big nice curly carribean fro but I kept on straightening it everyyy day! I had thin split disgusting hair. Now I replenished my natural hair and I all owe it to u. Thanks :)!
yo hair is sick 🤒😷🤕....is a crazy dope kinda way....hair goals😊
Aww thank you!
GORGEOUS HAIR!!! I do not do any of those things and yet my hair is thinning. I am going to start doing the protein treatments because I saw where someone on YT said that your hair can be stripped of protein if it's kept in a wet state and I was doing the GHE constantly. Thanks so much for your encouragement and proof that you Can restore thickness to your hair.
Getting rid of heat is THE BEST THING!!
i haven't used direct heat in 3 years and my hair grew faster and is now longer than it has ever been ~
but now i'm suffering from hair loss.. and i don't know what that's about xD haha like my hair breaks quite easily even from just braiding it. so i'm working on that right now~
working on starting my healthy hair journey again this week ~
>>i've never gone and gotten a pro hair cut and I'm shit scared too
Nova Nocturne Try apple cider vinegar rinse and/or green tea rinses.
Rafaella Yorke definitely not apple cider vinegar. It burns out your hair. If your hair is sensitive don't use anything that acidic
Perhaps you hair needs more moisture and is protein sensitve. I'm no expert but perhaps start by drinking more water and moisturising more regularly with water based products to see if it helps.
Isabella Giani you have to dilute it with water. Sometimes I'll be extra and add green tea & I'm sensitive haven't had a problem
Rafaella Yorke yeah true but it all depends on the porosity of your hair. It sounds like she has high porosity so acv won't help even when diluted.
Girl your hair is full and beautiful don't listen to the haters they just want your hair
Your hair is beautiful!!!
Thank you soo much!!
JeweJewe Bee your welcome
Girl! I love your hair. It's absolutely beautiful. I use to have thicker hair but I always straighten it, bleach it and wore hair extensions. So my hair is nothing like it was when I was 14. 😫 I love your information and I'm totally going with it! No more heat!
You are such a positive person. Thank you for your great advice.
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! ❤️☺️
I'm that person who only needs one use of heat to damage it. I went to a salon to get a wash and set for the first day of school. She washed it alright, and I didn't realize at the time but she didn't even set it in the curlers and put it under the dryer, she blow dried it while it was still wet! And after that still flat ironed it! I was so blessed I only had damage on my ends, but my hair smelt like flat iron whenever I wet it. I let my sister cut it, and it's growing back long and healthy now😊Bless up🙌🏾 Also I'm a new subbie💚
These are kinda obvious tips (for anyone with an ounce of black hair knowledge). It's the same thing, no heat, no styling, colours yada yada. All good in themselves, but I know plenty of people who doing all of that and their hair still up on their shoulders. Sometimes I think these hair "gurus" aren't telling us everything...or maybe their hair just grows like that. Best tip for moi, cinnamon oil, invertion method (you can take that to the hair bank) ;)
Abi Dee I agree with you, the video doesn’t speak on what products she used. Maybe there was a reason but this one was pointless!
Girl im thinking d same thing ... i didnt get no product tips from she... like i mean her coils kinky n huge now like hair for 2 ppls head but before it was less than one persons head. Im just confused af how does that even happen??? Im waiting on my hair to grow over a year and a bit after caribean hair salon secretly relaxed my hair n nigerian hair dresser ripped out 55% of my hair n my hair took 15 yrs to grow to the length it was originaly im doing everything n my hair dont grow at all....
It depends on genetics but some probably take hair vitamins...I do know oils are good for the hair and helps it to grow...wild growth oil is good...I used it myself, the smell isn't too great though
that transformation really gives me hope
Oh my gosh your hair is Amazing, so beautiful, love it
Thank you!! My hair is super long, damaged and thin. I also flat iron the hell out of it. It falls out so bad when I wash it. Lately, I've been so frustrated and just throw it up in a bun while still wet. I'm going to follow your tips. I used to have really nice curly hair and would love to have it back. Your vid is a huge inspiration. Your hair is gorgeous!!
I've always had thick curly hair and a month ago i got a filler treatment at a salon (to defrizz my hair) and ever since my hair got much thinner (literally half of my hair is gone) my hair is currently shedding like crazy.
We are beautiful in so many ways. One them being the texture of our hair. People for so long had us denying our beauty. To cover up the insecurities they have. This is why it's important to keep this up. So young girls like us can feel beautiful as they grow up. Just the way they are. Teach them to embrace the beauty that they hold with in them. That no matter what texture they have it's beautiful. They just need to nourish your hair.
What do you moisturizer your scalp with and how often do you do it?
The "NOW" had me shook!!! Beautiful hair!!
