I know people who don’t like water.. I always think they are from another planet 👽...I can never understand why anyone would hate water., it’s like the most refreshing drink.
I'm 57. My hair is an inch from my waist and thick as all get-out. If your hair is thinning, try ayurvedic oils, powders and techniques. It made my hair better than it has ever been.
@@smorris4039 there are a couple of vids on my channel about using green tea and making oils using amla, henna, brahmi, etc. I learned from Curly Proverbz. I HIGHLY recommend her channel.
I think that the obsession with straight hair is not because it's straight, but because it shows length (a common goal). I've always wanted very long hair, but I didn't want to have to straighten it to see the length. I wanted it somewhat curly or wavy but still very long 💯
Kimberly Tibbs I wear my hair out on certain days. Like if wash day is approaching, then Ik that I can get away with wearing it out for a day or two. But wearing it out on a regular could wither ur ends fast
I have to do dance competitions EVERY WEEKEND and my mom has to blow dry it into a mow hawk ( dunno how to spell it) and everybody touches it with they greasy fingers and Bobby pins get lost in my hair and when I’m sleeping it’s literally poking my head
Maureen Darko girl get your mm to stop, you’re going to have MAJOR heat damage and overall damage on your hair, when when you sleep take out bobby pins because they can cause breakage and split ends= killing your ends and causing more damage. Take out boby pins while sleeping and use satin scarf or pillow
I love how this video touches on hair growth based on genetics or internal factors. I feel like alot of videos dont talk about this enough and it can cause some ppl to overthink theyre hair journey or maybe feel like theyre the problem if theyre hair doesnt grow fast. I appreciate this video alot. Thanks sm🤗
A Turner you can have two bald headed parents but that doesn’t mean the kids will be bald headed, sometimes it’s the way you care for it will make a difference. That’s why I don’t think it’s genetics.
*sigh* The drinking water one...I really needed to hear it. I think it might be the main culprit for my hair problem. It wont retain moisture, is always frizzy, curls don't spring, and the ends stay brittle. I'm doing everything else right so it has to be this. and touching it too much.
great tips, but I hate the fact that we cant have fun with our hair for length. like having it braided up and left alone and only styled for special occasions is so sad to me :( like its hair cant we have fun with it and have it grow??? lol sorry for the rant im just so sad :( im about to try the leave alone tip though thanks
Non you Can have fun with your faire while growing there a 2 youtubers : The Gloved natural and Mon afro libre .... They show us great techniques for this and they dont '' protect their hair that much ( example : mini twists only once a year and twists out the rest of time
Yeah I understand, but thats what weave is for to be honest. Like my hair grew so much this year compared to all my life because i would constantly wear braids or leave it out and i notice i dont get much length or i lose it and then when i went to weave where i braid my hair underneath and then style my weave and it look so natural. My real Hair underneath grew so much to the point it like the length of my weave
Why do you believe hair is only fun when it's loose and out? Braids twists and Cornrows can be fun too. I see a lot of these comments and I'm just worried there a lot of people who feel that the styles that our hair doesn't thrive in is more fun, that's the path of frustration right there. It's less frustrating to fall in love with braids, twists and cornrows (I don't do wigs, weaves or synthetic hair though). If my hair tells me it's thriving in some style, that style becomes beautiful to me lol. So I've chosen mini braids for majority of the time and loose for short term, but not simply special occasions because that's saying loose hair is only for special moments. I can wear loose to an appointment at the doctor's for example lol Ooh and if you do mini braids on stretched hair you can enjoy your length too
I have low to medium porosity and I blow dryer to stretch my hair, I wash my hair about every 2 weeks to a month based on the style. But I use grapeseed or avocado oil as a heat protectant and do the LCO method right after
I came across your channel this morning and I can’t get off it lol. You remind me so much of someone I know! I love your content and your tips on growing natural hair.........hopefully I’ll be able to grow out my hair as long as yours
I get vitamins from drinking tea lol everynight before bed I have one cup of herbal tea no milk or sugar just the tea but I am a tea gal and dislike coffee very much sooo😅😂lol I'm off topic. Lots of love💕💕
omg u inspired me to go natural like ive always wanted to do it and i feel like its the right time and im old enough to take care of my hair since my mum relaxed my hair when i was young cos she said my hair was way too thick and i would cry every time she touched my hair 😭 but yeah my hair grows really quickly since i always have it in box braids, best protective hairstyle for growth !!
Found u today! Love the way u just talk with not much expression, it’s so sweet lol and very intelligent! First time actually seeing someone so down to earth and real on CZcams! This is what we need! Fuck the fakes!
I’m new to your channel and I absolutely love it you inspire me to wear and embrace my natural hair more and more I recently just decided that I wanted to let go of wigs and you definitely gave me the ok I love the authenticity and how much knowledge you give about natural hair ❤️
But you see...my question is... what if i want to wear my hair out? what's the point of having it if it's always in a protective style?? I feel like our hair should be able to grow without it being tucked away 24/6 :(
I am not saying that you can not wear your hair out, If you notice that your hair is not growing to its fullest ability and you know that you wear your hair out on a consistent basis, I would just suggest wearing it out less. Hair grows faster when its left alone.
PleaseTickle Me yep, especially the older generations. Both my grandmother’s always had their head wraps. It’s was a cultural thing but their hair did benefit from it.
I agree, my hair had the most growth when I left it alone, drank more water and didn't worry about it or length check. The biginning if COVID and during was the most growth i have ever seen: no stress, no manipulation, twists and let it be.
Hi! I've been natural all my life too, type 4 hair, I only really started taking care of like my sophomore-junior year of highschool. I always wear some braids no extensions like you and I am glad I found your channel!! Do you ever co wash your hair ? And when do you usually re-moisturize since you keep your styles in for 5weeks?
duhhdarline I actually don’t co wash my hair. The most I every do to my hair is aloe vera, or clay masks. Also, I usually moisturize my hair every 6-7 days, so just about once a week when I leave my braids in. I hope I was able to help ❤️
@@NaturalAcademia Hi you said once a week you moisturize, is this when you have you twists in you moisturize weekly? And when you don't twists every 6-7 days? Can you clarify
Loretta Ogbonna I moisturize once a week if I have big braids, I moisturize very 2-3 days when I have twists. Sooo, twice a week for mini twists and once a week for big braids (I usually do eight big braids).
I follow everything you are saying and my hair is flourishing. I think most CZcamsrs forget one important thing “Satin/silk” scarf/ bonnet and pillow case. How to use them and when to use them. The hair doctor is a Trichologist.
merline ortner yesss to the satin bonnet!!! I tried not to list things that I believed naturals should already know, but now that I think of it, I probably should’ve added that fact.Thank youuuuuu 😊 ❤️
Length retention is my nightmare. I Deep treat .aryvedic oils and treatment the works I have high prosity my hair i getting thick but not long!!! I pray
Hey sis, great video! I recently just did a similar video on my channel called 7 reasons why you’re natural hair may not be growing. I loved your tips, keep going up 💕
Girl I shaved my head last year for at least the 4-5 time , this time I only did protective styles for 3-4month minimum , I didn’t even moisturize or none of that , didn’t even wear a silk bonnet or scarf and my hair is the thickest and the healthiest it has ever been , usually I was washing every week doing a bunch of masks etc … but it was breaking . Basically I left it alone and it grew 💀
I just found your channel and I love your videos already. Lol I was just telling my sister this is me... But with longer hair 😂 I've been natural all my life but really started on my hair journey in 2014. My hair stays in 2-strand twists unless I put weave in. Questions: do you have any issues with dandruff and if so what products do you use? Also, have you found washing every 5 weeks to have any bad impacts on your hair. Normally I wash my hair every 3 weeks. But it's gotten harder to do that because of kids lol so I'm thinking about washing it every 5 weeks too. However, I'm not sure about this due to my dandruff issues. Also, what products do you use? I'm a Shea Moisture product junkie but I'm always on the lookout for good products and moisturizers. Thanks!
JaNaye Major I actually used to have realllllyyyy BAD dandruff towards the beginning of my hair growth journey. My scalp would always feel dry and flakey. To get rid of the dandruff I started healing my scalp with one of my FAVORITE hair products which is Palmers Olive Oil formula (it comes in an average sized container and has the consistency of greese) if your looking to heal your scalp from dandruff, I would recommend using this product to moisturize your scalp. I use it on my hair a lot but I feel like it benefits my scalp much more. I use to wash my hair every 8-9 weeks in the beginning of my growth journey; however, I soon found out that I saw more growth when I washed my hair more frequently. Now, my hair is waaaaayyyyyyy to long and thick to be washing every two weeks, so I just opted to washing my hair every 4-5 weeks. I have been doing this for the past 4 or so years and it has benefited me tremendously. Washing my hair every 4-5 weeks has defiantly contributed to my hair growth because it allows me to just leave my hair aloe and just let it grow. In retrospect, I would not advise following this same method if you don’t believe that it will benefit your hair, this is just my personal experience. In terms of your last question, I am a very simplistic person when it comes to my hair. I actually only use 6 staple products on my hair. I have a video on the five products that I use on my hair. If you have time, please check it out. I explain the use and benefits of each product and I also include my favorite moisturizer. However, I failed to include my most recent new hair product which is the Camille rose Curl Maker. It is amazing at moisturizing and creating curls on all hair types, I typically use this product for when I am styling my hair or if i just want to moisturize my hair I really hope that I was able to answer all your questions, I appreciate you for commenting and deeply value your support! 😊 ❤️
Did she just say her sister flat ironed her hair ONCE and she got heat damage?? Did she use heat protectant? Because you should be able to straighten your hair 1-4 times a year without it ruining your natural hair...
I've been natural for two years now and I've never trimmed it. I should really see what's going on up there. So do you (I'm asking you personally) blow dry it then trim or blow dry it, flatiron it then trim because I'm scared to put heat on my head. P.S. Are you talking about fairy knots? 14:45
Isoken Osasuyi Hey! Yes, I always wash my hair with twist on. I try to deep condition my hair every time I wash my hair, which is every 4-5 weeks. I hope I was able to help ❤️
I’m low porosity and I really hate using heat. I saw what it could do to my hair. But I use heat protectant and only use heat no more than 4 times a year. I like to use the baggy method overnight. I trim whenever I need it like every 3-6 months. I recently started protective styling with two strand twists with my hair and I’m loving the results. I recommend the aloe plant for hair growth I’m loving it and my hair be moisturized for over a week alone ITS AMAZING.
What's your moisture regime? I am 18 months post BC....I'm retaining length. I still have to spray my hair daily with water/aloe/feenugreek spritz to keep moist. I'm gonna try Shea butter and castor oil as my sealant.
Dr Francene Gayle I typically moisturize my hair at least once or twice a week depending on what protective style that I have on. I will be glad to upload a video to explain and show you the products that I use to moisturize my hair. Will that be helpful?
Terena Rosa That’s a great video Idea. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll be sure to upload a video on how I moisturize my hair daily. I really appreciate your support 😊❤️❤️
I don't know if my question will make sense but, is it okay not to moisturize it for 2/3 days if it still feels oily, only when it feels dry that you can moisturize? And is it okay to moisturize my scalp if I don't want to undo my protective style?
If you feel the need to moisturize your hair, then by all means do so. Hair composition varies by person so there is no definite answer for when you should moisturize your hair. If you are not comfortable with protective styling, I would advised keeping your hair and scalp as moisturized as possible whenever your hair is out.
I didnt know I was supposed to get trims. I've been natural all my life but I never did my own hair so these days I noticed that I had split ends up going up my hair. I just pulled the whole strands out. And now, because I do my hair myself, I cut at the areas where my ends don't coil. Cuz I do twists on my hair a lot. Or on the occasion if I blow-dry it, I'll trim it then.
First time watching your video. Btw u have lovely hair. I have natural hair and its 10inches long but I do not care my hair. Presently its twisted like yours and I plan to keep in the twist for 3 weeks, so how do I go about moisturizing it within the 3 weeks period?
Hey!! Thank you, I really appreciate you for your support 😊 ❤️ In regards to your question, I would say your moisturizing regimen depends on your hair’s ability to take in and retain moisture. I like to moisturize my hair at LEAST once or twice a week depending on the style.
You look so pretty natural and your hair is extremely healthy looking! I realize in anothwr comment, state you don’t wear makeup. Is it for religious reasons or you just don’t feel like it lol
Jamel Feliz Yes, the shampoo does contain sulfates. I do not typically always wash my hair with this often due to that specific reason; although it allows grime and dead skin cells to be removed from my scalp, It can also cause the hair to be TOO clean when used excessively. I really appreciate you for asking and I hope this was helpful 😊❤️

Facts I never have my hair out unless it’s out to re-twist

In terms of your last question, I am a very simplistic person when it comes to my hair. I actually only use 6 staple products on my hair. I have a video on the five products that I use on my hair. If you have time, please check it out. I explain the use and benefits of each product and I also include my favorite moisturizer. However, I failed to include my most recent new hair product which is the Camille rose Curl Maker. It is amazing at moisturizing and creating curls on all hair types, I typically use this product for when I am styling my hair or if i just want to moisturize my hair

Wow very good advice . I’m so subscribing
Sue Y Thank you !! I really appreciate your support ❤️
Did she just say her sister flat ironed her hair ONCE and she got heat damage?? Did she use heat protectant? Because you should be able to straighten your hair 1-4 times a year without it ruining your natural hair...
Your hair is beautiful🌸. I need to drink water 🙆
Karabo Kay thank you !! And lmaoo YESSS, drink more water 💧
I've been natural for two years now and I've never trimmed it. I should really see what's going on up there. So do you (I'm asking you personally) blow dry it then trim or blow dry it, flatiron it then trim because I'm scared to put heat on my head.
P.S. Are you talking about fairy knots? 14:45
Hi. Do you wash your hair with your twists on? Also, please how often do you deep condition you hair? Great video 👍🏽
Isoken Osasuyi Hey! Yes, I always wash my hair with twist on. I try to deep condition my hair every time I wash my hair, which is every 4-5 weeks. I hope I was able to help ❤️
Yes. Thank you
I’m low porosity and I really hate using heat. I saw what it could do to my hair. But I use heat protectant and only use heat no more than 4 times a year. I like to use the baggy method overnight. I trim whenever I need it like every 3-6 months. I recently started protective styling with two strand twists with my hair and I’m loving the results. I recommend the aloe plant for hair growth I’m loving it and my hair be moisturized for over a week alone ITS AMAZING.
Grow With Glo YESSSSS sis !!! We love to see it! I really appreciate you for sharing and I’m glad to hear that you’re seeing growth ❤️
Nice video :)
One thing: the music was too loud.
Yay you're highporosity!!!!!! Instant sub
GSW Power lmaoo, I appreciate your support 😊 ❤️
What's your moisture regime? I am 18 months post BC....I'm retaining length. I still have to spray my hair daily with water/aloe/feenugreek spritz to keep moist. I'm gonna try Shea butter and castor oil as my sealant.
Dr Francene Gayle I typically moisturize my hair at least once or twice a week depending on what protective style that I have on. I will be glad to upload a video to explain and show you the products that I use to moisturize my hair. Will that be helpful?
Educational 👌🏽
those twists though. can you do a video on it and the style?
Here is the link to the video of me doing the twists: czcams.com/video/zj4ntZI9Qmk/video.html

How long do you wear your twists for before taking them down?
How often and how do you moisturize your hair while it’s in twists?
Norah Nakibuuka I usually wear my twits for two weeks and I moisturize them every 2-3 days in the twists. I hope I was able to help 😊 ❤️
A warm towel is honestly enough heat for me but I do need that because low porosity or whatever
Could I wear a head wrap or a hat when I'm in the sun to protect my hair?
I never knew you were kin. Hugs my fellow high porosity. Not enough youtubers are. Most of natural youtube are about low porosity. Not my people.
How long are you going to leave you mini twists in before washing?
Great video!
Ronisha Christie I usually leave my twists in for two weeks
Natural Academia thanks!
I don't know if my question will make sense but, is it okay not to moisturize it for 2/3 days if it still feels oily, only when it feels dry that you can moisturize? And is it okay to moisturize my scalp if I don't want to undo my protective style?
If you feel the need to moisturize your hair, then by all means do so. Hair composition varies by person so there is no definite answer for when you should moisturize your hair. If you are not comfortable with protective styling, I would advised keeping your hair and scalp as moisturized as possible whenever your hair is out.
Music is too load and distracting.
how long did it take to get your hair to the length that it is?
I did this by practicing with low manipulation styles and wearing scarves on a consistent basis. I still do this to this day.
Natural Academia thank you for replying! I asked how long did it take like as in months or years. Keep it up sis 💕✨
I apologize, I took me 6 years
I trim about one to two inches of my hair every year.
I didnt know I was supposed to get trims. I've been natural all my life but I never did my own hair so these days I noticed that I had split ends up going up my hair. I just pulled the whole strands out. And now, because I do my hair myself, I cut at the areas where my ends don't coil. Cuz I do twists on my hair a lot. Or on the occasion if I blow-dry it, I'll trim it then.
Love your video's, and your hair.
Rodell Gamble thank you!! I really appreciate your support !! ❤️
First time watching your video. Btw u have lovely hair. I have natural hair and its 10inches long but I do not care my hair. Presently its twisted like yours and I plan to keep in the twist for 3 weeks, so how do I go about moisturizing it within the 3 weeks period?
Hey!! Thank you, I really appreciate you for your support 😊 ❤️ In regards to your question, I would say your moisturizing regimen depends on your hair’s ability to take in and retain moisture. I like to moisturize my hair at LEAST once or twice a week depending on the style.
@@NaturalAcademia ok thanks a lot. Im a bit mixed, but i've subscribed to your channel so i'll go ahead watch your video and follow your hair regime.😊
My hair length looks like the one in 2016 will it take 4 years to i-
All my plants dead 💀
Ouch! Lol
Facts👏🏾
You're so beautiful!! :)
Octavia H Thank you! I really appreciate it ❤️
You look so pretty natural and your hair is extremely healthy looking! I realize in anothwr comment, state you don’t wear makeup. Is it for religious reasons or you just don’t feel like it lol
Hi! 😊 I have a cuestión, does the Herbal Essence shampoo that you use sulfate in it's composition?
Jamel Feliz Yes, the shampoo does contain sulfates. I do not typically always wash my hair with this often due to that specific reason; although it allows grime and dead skin cells to be removed from my scalp, It can also cause the hair to be TOO clean when used excessively. I really appreciate you for asking and I hope this was helpful 😊❤️
Thanks for answering, yes it was really helpful for me. I hope your channel continues growing, blessings. ❤
Jamel Feliz use sulfates in moderation❤️
Love the video but can you give us more tips 😁
Yes indeed lol
Thanks for sharing
