My hair is the same way. The more I do to it the more split ends I get . If I leave her alone and keep it in twists with water, conditioner or just oil it grows!!!! I just untwist in the AM and go. I blow dry maybe twice a year or flat iron. My hair is 18inches in twist outs and 24inches when flat iron. Water is a must when adding moisture I hope this long message helps like the video because her method is working greatly!
You had me falling out at the intro " I want to grow my hair from my back to my crack"🤣🤣🤣🤣 me too. I love your videos, I am working on super thickness now. thank you for sharing.
I think your hair would thrive after Narada's appointment. I cut off 4 to 5 inches 15th February my hair was severely damaged because of anemia. It has grown and recently I cut off half of an inch. I need to go back to my hairstylist and see what my hair looks like straight. Wishing you the best on your hair growth journey ❣️
I've been taking your hair tips since september now, and i just want to say, you're amazing🥹🥹 i just finished installing mini twists on my hair, and even my family is noticing how much my hair has grown! It's more manageable, and I've learnt how to properly care for my hair ever since i was little. My hair stuggled to grow, but now it's growing like crazy! Thank you so much😊😊
okay but BOTH of these men are phenomenal hair gurus. I feel like both are going to tell it like it is either way and you’re going to get a bang for your buck. Girl idk! Travelle is dream for me, but Narada is truly an analyst. Flip a coin, idk! 😂
I’m so excited for you! I can’t wait to get my trim and start this process too girl! I’m just touching waist length hair and the goal is tail bone and longer. I agree oiling the hair/ends really changes things
I've never gotten a silk press, so I'm excited to see how it goes! Your hair is look so LUSH and I'm sure you'll be to tailbone length in no time. You've actually inspired me to do small/medium (shmedium?) plaits once I finish taking my locs out - there's not a lot of fine -hair naturals, and my hair tends to get tangled in twists after a week, so plaits would be ideal. And your husband is sweet to check on you! I hope that you feel better soon if you haven't already
@@kwest1401 yea, bae is very caring ☺️😌 I’m feeling much better now, thanks! How long have you had the locs!? I bet they’re gorgeous! Idk what size these are cause the thickness is giving small but the parts are giving slightly large medium lol
I’ve been meaning to go to Narada for hair assessment for a minute. Went for a style and it was a great experience! I’ve never heard of Travelle before but his work looks amazing too!💜
You’ve inspired me to wear plaits as my main protective style! Do you have any advice on how to grow a particular area of your hair? For example, my hair is layered. The back is bra strap length but the front is about collar bone length. I want them to match up more aside form just chopping the back to be the same length as the front
@@miss.3175 honored to be an inspiration 🥹🫶🏾 well, since your hair is gonna grow at different lengths, you can cut the back little by little (the Tiniest amount) so the front can catch up with the back orrrrr you can let it grow out naturally and THEN even it out… I had mad layers cause I did a wolf cut. Eventually it grow out naturally
I say go to Narada btw not sure he does silk presses. But go anyway so you can really see if your methods are working. I plan to visit him in the spring. Would love to see the video of him doing your hair and assessing.
@@ebonybyrd3369 I thought for sure he did 😫😫 but you’re right! it would be a good thing to get a different set of eyes to see if I need to tweak anything
@@tgtgtgtgtgtgtg ohhhhhhh that makes sense!!!! So I suppose the first visit would just be treatment and cut. Then if I continue to him, my silk press won’t for another couple months.. hmmmm would I want to drive 3 hours multiple times 😅 🤔
Sis, stick with what you know!! Sometimes we make decisions difficult for ourselves, if he checks all your boxes as a stylist then there’s no need to go elsewhere.
@@melisajbeauty we really do make things more difficult than they are, huh 😅😅 Travelle is just so farrrrrrrrrr but apparently Narada doesn’t even do silk presses so there’s that lol
I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I enjoy the way you take care of your hair. I grew my hair to midback with cornrows but I want to try using braids as you do. Hoping to get to waistlenngth soon 😊
I’ve been a subscriber for about three months now. I know you are caring for your hair for tailbone length and revert heat damage. I also heard you say you might want to be a heat-trained natural in previous videos. To pick a stylist in February 2025 who will help you get your heat-damaged hair back to normal? Who will be able to give you a proper trim without being scissor-happy? Who will give you great guidance to reach your goal this upcoming year? Who gave you the heat damage in the past? Idk that’s just a few things I would think about when picking a stylist.
@@Lacavadoe these are all great questions to consider!!! I’ll def factor this in when I decide. Idk about being a straight hair natural anymore. The drying process sucks moisture from my scalp and leaves my hair so dryyy 😫😫 and since I like to shampoo weekly, not sure the health of my hair if I add heat every week.. idk about that anymore
@@SharatiaBanks I’m located in dc. But I’m willing to take the trip simply because the education is worth it. He will get you to your goals and ensure your hair is healthy from root to tip. I just got a haircut because I’ve been trying the olaplex like I today you after my whole heat damage thing .. I experienced soooo much breakage and had to cut off 7 inches of hair. But I wish I would have went to him to get a full assessment. I know he be booked and busyyyy.
I’ve been in mini twist all 2024 and have gotten to bra strap but I think you have convinced me to do plaits all 2025 to get to waist length. Idk yet, plaits just take so much longer to install and are not good friends with my carpal tunnel syndrome. also I think Travelle I think silk press is his specialty and you said so yourself your hair was thriving listen to the hair. But have you seen Hairbynay247 work? I think she is a nice blend of the two. She super knowledgeable AND gentle.
@@sassys1240 thanks!! And yea, I wash them weekly or bi weekly and redo each plait every 4-5 weeks… but tbh I don’t like how these parts came out so ima redo the whole thing. Is that crazy?
@@SharatiaBanks Ummm, redo all those braids? Maybe not crazy, but really dedicated. Good parts help with not having webbing too. My hair doesn't really like braids for that long, they start to get matted. Does that happen to you? I want to keep trying the braids, but I don't want to have a setback.
Both professionals are amazing. If you wanted a trim that will keep your hair healthy for that duration of the silk press and in it's natural state; and for the majority of the year; I think I would decide to go to Narada though
Can someone in these comments please talk about hair matting while on these long term protective styles.... Yes it helps to retail length but after about 2 or 3 weeks the roots of my hair starts to mat together... Any advice?
@@maramara7494 of courseeeee however, I’m taking MRO hair growth vitamins. Ive had this bottle of msm since March. Smh I’ve been playing with it. But def taking the vitamins consistently 😌
Please go to Travelle and ask him to analysis your hair. Or better still go to cosmetologist for a real deep dive into your scalp and hair health. Cosmetologists will give you scientific facts while hairdressers will give you a more "on the surface" analysis.
@@LivingInTheShade ooooooh! So a cosmetologist can be a hairdresser but a hairdresser is not a cosmetologist? I thought they can do the same thing. But that makes sense cause a hair dresser would tell us to see à trichologist for certain things lol good idea guh! Thanks🙏🏾🫶🏾
@@SharatiaBanks Yes that's right. I only recently realised what the difference is. Many hairdressers knowledge is limited. Cosmetologist can look at your scalp under a microscope, analysis your hair again under a microscope, test your blood for deficiencies. I've seen one lady on yt with no edges and they helped her grow her hair back with prp. I think of it as hairdressers are cosmetic and cosmetologists as scientific.
