I always keep enough hair for a ponytail lazy do. 😆 for me but imagine not running a comb through my hair man that would run me crazy just thinking how can you not comb your hair its another way. For me to help wash my hair i have a round thing i put my hand thu the strap and just rub my scalp its so relaxing omg and it feels so good its a habit i can't wait to get to that point when washing my hair it helps my scalp to grow my hair omg 3 months i would have never told no one that omg i feel sorry for this beautiful young lady scalp i bet if she let me wash her hair one time she would be looking for me every week for het hair wash. Dhe would have hair down to her feet 😆

Yes, this pandemic really taught me that low manipulation is key to growth! I already have products I use so don't want to clutter my drawer with these, but your wash gave me ASMR vibes and it was so relaxing to watch even without sound.
    I've been thinking about the perm with the way my ends tangle and I need tips, help cos it's driving me up the wall. I usually go about a month before wash and do twists and then wear wigs. I hope my hair gets longer and fuller soon so I can just wear it in an updo like yours.

    I been doing this with my hair for about year now. I don't overly manipulate hair nor add heat (unless I see a beautician)! I allow my hair to stay in protective styling for at least month or month and half before doing another wash day or going to the beauty shop now. The most I will do while waiting is moisturizing and seal and oil my scalp. My beautician sees the difference in my hair and my scalp and she's been loving it the progression.

    Also, can you also do a video with your sisters? I would love to see their hair, as well.
    Lastly, I swore you looked familiar, because I live in Broward County and my husband is Haitian 🇭🇹 I have now adopted your simple haircare regimen (hubby says this is what they do in Haiti, as well) so I'm hoping that I can see progress in 2021, as well! Thanks for sharing all that you do!

      Don't jump straight into 3 months. Start with one month first. Depending on the products you already use, you may need to change some things.

      When I wash my scalp and or hair I make a homemade shampoo using soap berries, a little ACV, and vegetable glycerin. I use my blender to froth it up, place into an applicator bottle and concentrate on just my scalp. And I rise out the solution using a different applicator bottle filled with water. I keep my hair in a lose bun the whole time. ^^That's when I'm just washing my scalp.
      Keep in mind I do not use any products that leave a hard cast. No grease, no store bought gels (I use a d.i.y. flaxseed gel), I don't even use oil on my hair or scalp. All I use is a D.I.Y gel (sometimes), but mostly water and glycerin mixture, and store bought butters/creams. So I almost never get build up.
