    These are techniques I used to grow my hair to waistlength - they all focus on a central theme: length retention. I tend not to stress supplements for growth and longer hair simply because the crux of slow growth in our communities is length retention, as opposed to growth. In Black communities, we tend to have more of a problem with length retention than we do with growth. Unfortunately, our hair textures are exceedingly prone to breakage. Mitigating the amount of breakage we face will certainly help, with regard to length retention. The more length we retain, the longer our hair will become. Put simply, growing long natural hair can be reduced to retaining length I.e. not allowing our hair to break off.

    Also, if you have fine hair, use henna. that also fills in the gaps (permanently) so you hair retain length a bit more easier. Fine haired naturals have the hardest time retaining length since that strand are so fine (not thin). That is what helped me.

    • @LiciousTina88
      @LiciousTina88 8 років тому +18

      how do you apply the henna.. I have naturally fine hair.. seems like everything causes breakage. so I wear wigs or sew ins..but this you speak of.. I must know please!

    • @West_Indian_Aiyah
      @West_Indian_Aiyah 8 років тому +17

      There are several ways you can mix it. I apply it after cleaning my hair and before deep conditioning. I steep green tea & slippery elm bark tea and let that cool a bit (green tea helps the dye release a bit quicker), pour the powder in a glass or plastic bowl (do not use metal tools of any kind) while whisking it with plastic fork to get the lumps out, i then add silk amino acids i got from lotioncrafter (dot) com (this is optional, i add SAA to everything, it makes my hair so soft).
      You can add any oils of your choosing to help the henna rinse out easier while still getting the benefits, the slippery elm tea helps as well. I make the mixture before prepooing and washing my hair so it can sit for a bit and the dye can release.
      edited to dd: I forgot to mention, i leave it on for 3-12 hours depending on the time of day/night i do it, lol. cover your head with a plastic cap (or bag) after applying it.

    I nearly cried when I found your videos... I wish I had seen them when I was younger. I seriously dragged my hair through hell and lost 7 inches because of it. I'm 18 and I'm trying to grow my hair again. I used your detangling method and it worked with a really small amount of shedding (it could fit in a baby's hand)!
    Thank you so much for making these videos. I hope to grow my hair as fast and healthy as yours.

      Sounds like quite a bit of manipulation, but if the positives (conditioning) outweigh the negatives (wear and tear) then that's great! It's all about striking that balance! X

    like oh my gosh here me out it's actually really satisfying that everything you have mentioned on your vid .Is what I have been doing during my A break to everyone also reading my comment I shaved all my hair off dec 2016 never touched it would only corm it on a Sunday to attend mass or if going out . washed it everyday without fail with regular bodysoap.Kept it in a bennie/headwrap all day every day.I NEVER PLACED HAIRFOOD EVEN OIL FOR MY SCALP. Believe Me when I say it only took 5 months to grow to the length of your before picture on your vid thumbnail. I was shooketh .Now I'm on the road of growing hair as long as yours. I think by the end of the year I would be able to reach my goal. Keep up with the great vids but these methods need to be preached to all black girls across the globe😁👍❤❤❤❤.

    Hello Asha! Oh I've missed you and I've missed a lot in general, I'm playing catch up to my subscriptions, lol!! My hair grows ultra slow Asha and so that I can retain as much length as I can I'm going to take your advice and try a low manipulation regimen...if only my hair was just longer already I would do buns so often I wouldn't even worry about stretching it for length and what not, I would just bun it and go lol! For the past 2 weeks I've been massages my hair more....I love your slide clips you have a pretty interesting and active life. Girl, I tried to explain "hydral fatigue" to my mom last year from one of your past videos and she was so not understanding me lol, she kind of shushed me she didn't want to hear anymore, lol! I have to get back into the coconut oil to protect my strands from over expansion. Yes oh yes, I haven't used a comb in 3 years and I love it but I finally used my Denman 3 weeks ago after over 5 years of not brushing my hair and the bristles felt so good Asha, like therapeutic lol! I keep saying it and not doing it but I'm getting some weave lol, I think that will help me tremendously with low manipulation styles and I'm kind of tired of wearing Ms. Megan my Sunday wig, lol! Great video, 2 thumbs up, thanks for sharing and I'm sharing this on my GG+ page so I can have this as a nice reminder : )

    • @NaturallyHigh
      @NaturallyHigh  8 років тому +1

      Hey Kerducky! I was wondering where you'd got to!! :)
      As regards short hair and protective styling, it's still possible. If you haven't already, you should try wearing your hair in twists and styling those twists protectively. For example, in my early days, I would wear my small twists in 2 canerows (cornrows) with the ends tucked. Twisting/plaiting your hair makes it easier to style it protectively if it's short. It's interesting you say your hair is short, because in your thumbnail your twists look really plump and long! :D
      Hey thanks! Those clips were taken from a student TV show I used to be on called Breaking Maas (if you check it out look at season 4).
      Hygral fatigue is definitely real - I'm glad you're working on it!
      Your hair must be different from mine if it loves Denman brushes! They break mine to pieces! I'm happy for you though. Maybe that means that combing/brushing your hair isn't too bad.
      Weave is a good solution! Please keep me updated!
      Stay sweet!

    • @kerducky
      @kerducky 8 років тому

      Naturally High Hello again my friend! I don't want to be misleading, my hair is shorter than I'd like it to be lol, I say I prefer it to be longer much longer lol! People would probably say I have medium to long length hair, heck even when I had SL hair people said it long, so I guess I should just say I have long hair, lol!
      I'm a little past APL but it's not all around APL, that would make a HUGE difference for me, like my bangs aren't even past my chin and my sides reach down a lil past collarbone and I have S U P E R shrinkage, so I get this weird mushroom shape look that I don't really like.
      Oh Asha I wear nothing but twists lol and they're always tucked under but I do high manipulation flat twist styles, (I keep them in for 1-2 wks) and occasionally I do 2 strand twist styles. When I say high manipulation I'm not really twisting super tight but the flat twist styles that I like to do mostly take about 3-4 hours depending on how stretched my hair is. I want to adopt a less time consuming regimen for styling...like I'm going to try the 2 flat twists but I'm so picky, the front of my hair and the top of head the shape, certain styles just don't look right lol, I have to play around with it. I would like to do chunky twists like you but when I've tried chunky twists I lose length and then I can't style like I want, lol! I would love to just throw my hair up into a bun but the amount of stretching I have to do to get to my liking, it's like 3 steps, I stretch my hair for 2 days and on the 3rd day it's ready lol!
      Season 4 gotcha lol!!
      Well my hair loved the Denman when I had piles of conditioner on it and I took out 2 of the rows so it was super modified lol but I only used it because I felt like I could get a really thorough trim (I do light dustings all the time) but I don't plan on using it again, I'll probably go buy a wide tooth comb the next time I'm in need of a good trim.
      And I'm really going to get some weave already, I agree it will help so much.
      Thanks so much for you can words and in depth responses and your so nice as well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend
      I will definitely keep you updated : )

      Stretching - I usually do this in plaits or twists, which I keep my hair in for as long as possible before treating myself to an 'out' day! Big twists/plaits are great for moisturising because they prevent the hair from getting knotty upon exposure to water.

    Hi! I did the big chop, to address issues I have with my scalp. I understand jojoba oil is an emollient, which stimulates growth, so I do use it on my scalp. It's quits difficult to not get any products on my scalp at its current length. My hair's really short, so I co-wash my hair often, but at the very least I don't wear a shower cap and have the shower water moisten my hair, for easier manipulation i.e. so it doesn't feel as dry. I do wash with black soap, I dissolved in water. How often should I wash at my very short length? Do you recommend I do protein and moisturizing conditioning treatments, as low as it is or should I wait? Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers!

      +Angellia Gladstone Hey! I do trim my ends when needed and I do so using 2 main techniques: dusting and search and destroy. I show how I dust in my recent video showing my entire wash day routine: ua-cam.com/video/PYVqWJDJWzw/v-deo.html
      The search and destroy method is more about finding lone single strand knots and split ends and dealing with those individually. You can see that here: ua-cam.com/video/HR39P18Uy-Q/v-deo.html
      My ends are in decent condition.

    • @NaturallyHigh
      @NaturallyHigh  8 років тому

      A co-wash is a conditioner wash. It involves rinsing and cleansing the hair with conditioners, which contain some surfactants, and are thus able to remove some dirt/oil from the hair without leaving it stripped.

      luname They are excellent I wore them for many years when I had relaxed hair and when I was first natural. You just wash, moisturise and oil them like you would do your own hair. My hair is tailbone length now so there is no point wearing them anymore. For length retention it is perfect.

      @Cattitude369 8 років тому +6

      Just chiming in...your hair is going to grow unless you have an issue/condition. Oiling your scalp is not what makes hair grow nor is it necessary. Massaging may increase blood flow (with or without oil) as will exercise but if your hair isn't growing you will know because you will be bald/balding :)

    i love that you wear your hair out and have fun with it more since you've reached your goal length. I feel like most naturals are too used to sticking strictly with their regimen, tucking in their ends 24/7 never getting to appreciate their lengths :/ . it's good to take care of your hair and be cautious but if growing longer/ healthier hair means not seeing your hair then i don't want long hair

    • @NaturallyHigh
      @NaturallyHigh  8 років тому +45

      Thank yoooou! Well in my case, I have very breakage-prone hair so my current routine of wearing my hair out is not without its drawbacks: my hair's not really getting much longer. I think it's grown about 1-2 inches in the past 7 months or so... As soon as I start protective styling it grows like wildflowers, though! But what's the point of having long hair if you NEVER wear it out!?

It seemed to APPEAR thicker. I was used to losing TONS of unnecessary strands in the combs (not shed, breakage), and that was minimized since stopping combs. We will see if it continues to grow thicker tho.

    the basic shampoo is just fine for any ones hair type the purpose of shampoo is it clean the hair fully this is why your hair is dry after however there is something you can do to help
    1use a shower filter a shower filter is designed to strip harsh chemicals like Colerain. chlorine is one of the worst chemicals in water when it comes to the human hair and skin because it naturally have a drying effect
    2 not using the property moisturizer for your hair text to and not properly knowing your hair texture. hair does not come in just one text you it comes in a minimum of two different texture
    3 not doing your own research by going to the licensed cosmetologist. people nowadays want to get everything from UA-cam the only issue with that is unless the person is a licensed cosmetologist you really don't know where they're getting their information from or if it's even logical or legit the internet can say anything facts will always remain.
    4 being thirsty for long hair if you really understand your hair and how to you properly take care of your hair you do not need to do in length checks.
    5.not questioning people about there advice just because somebody on UA-cam tell you about a regiment or product doesn't mean that what they are saying is right. you have to remember people give their opinion on products and regiments based on what works for them and people they know or have seen through the internet.
    6 not trying out products for yourself just because it's suggests that don't mean it's right for you
