    My hair is almost to my knees and I'm all black. My mom never had long hair. My mom's hair is thick and My sister has thick hair but My hair is thin. Any black woman can grow long hair. You need to have a hair routine and moisturize and deep condition!

    The problem with Black women is that we just don’t know how to look after our own hair. It takes a routine, consistency and patience! Simple as that. Once I realised my hair loves moisture three times weekly, shea butter and to be left alone, well my hair was off and growing.

    I was briefly part of the tailbone length. Then it was cut off without my permission 😤. It took me 7 years from a pixie cut. My hair went from lower back to shoulder. I didn't even realize that the trim had turned into a full big chop. I thought it was just shrinkage. It wasn't until I got home and was braiding my hair for the night, she cut off over 12 inches.

      People with 4b/4c hair need to adress the toxic relationship that they have with their hairstylist(s). Not only will they yank our edges off in one appointment, but they will also chemically treat (esp. relax) our natural hair without our consent. They will charge us extra for having natural hair, verbally harrass us for accepting our hair as it is, refuse to style it unless we fry it, violently and abusively comb it, etc. I believe that having natural hair salons owned and ran by natural hair experts with natural hair themselves, who have overcome their inferiority complexes and learned to genuinely love their hair, is the first solution. The moment I went natural, I told myself to never let anyone with an inferiority complex lay hands on my head. Such people will damage hair, whether consciously or subconsciously.

      @Peggy Gilespie High key it's why I only go to a hair dresser with nice hair. It feels so damn petty, but I have never gotten better trims than I have from my current hair dresser who usually has some of the nicest most lush hair at any given time in the salon. I used to have to fight people to stop trying to chop me every time, it was insanity.

    Moving on to thigh length is a big decision. Best of luck in reaching that goal. You can do it!💜 💜 Indigenous Strandz and 22nd Century Natural Worman here on YT have thigh-length hair if you need a bit of inspiration for your thigh-length journey. I'm sitting at hip length trying to decide when I want to move on to tailbone. Right now I cut it when it gets a couple of inches past hip length. I guess I'm just not ready yet. IDK why but it just seems like a much larger step. LoL

    Your hair is beautiful! We may have different hair types, but I can relate to the struggle of not knowing how to look after your hair, or even unconscious neglect. I've come to love protective styles, they keep my hair safe, secure and out of the way, whilst looking pretty and ultimately, serving a function - they've become part of my routine and hair goals. I currently have thin waist length hair, which I'm growing out partially because there is a particular style i wanna try with it.

      If that's the case you just need to cut the damaged ends. There's no way to restore split/damaged ends. Better cut it now so you can grow your hair more easily. And do a trim every 4-6 months

      @Trinity M you're right, I know what follicles are idk why I started talking about ends. But generally speaking I think if your hair is naturally fine and thin you cant really change that. You can thicken your hair a bit but it's not gonna like change the density of your hair drastically. I could be wrong tho

    Next time you want to play with short hair weave it in. I have a blast with different lengths, colors, and styles of weave here and there. I have hella thick thigh length hair. So I know sometimes you just need a break. Which you can find with weave or braids. This can also be a great way to grow your hair as well.

    Beautiful hair 😍. I am growing out my hair with heat and was contemplating on what length to keep it at when it grows out and thought that waist length would be where I would stop but then through watching your video it dawned on me that I could let it grow as long as it wants because in its natural state it would always be shorter and I could then wear natural styles that had length. I love when videos give me epiphanies. Thanks!

    Here's what I did to grow back my edges after a hairstyle destroyed them: I applied (white) onion juice thrice a week on the bald area, rinsing it off after 6-8 hours. Then I applied vicks every single night religiously. (Vicks contains camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil solely. These ingredients stimulate hair growth.) I had a bald spot about 5 cm in circumference above my left ear and this routine helped it grow 10 centimetres in 28 days. My hair does not naturally grow that fast; this routine quadrupled it.

To spare yourself the onion odor, I'd suggest you add rosemary or peppermint oil, or ginger juice from about 2 inches of ginger. After washing it off, apply a scented leave in conditioner ie Aunt Jackie's and your hair won't have a trace of onion smell in it.

I forgot to mention that the side where I used the onion juice is now the fastest growing on my head, and it's also the darkest, thickest, and least likely to tangle. The smell of onion deserves an Oscar in and of itself. 😅 But essential oils and scented hair creams eradicate of it. I hope you experience the same results that I did.

    Thank you! This is very inspirational. When I was young my mom would relax my hair and leave it alone and my hair would grow down my back. I've been natural since I was around 14 and no heat since I was 17. Now I'm 20 and I just want to make it to mid-back length. I remember telling myself at 18, once I turn 22 I will have that mid-back length. I feel like I am letting myself down :/. I am trying to find out what works for me, but I always feel like I'm stuck at shoulder length. My goal this year is armpit length. I'm going to try this year using fewer braids as I think my braider is just too harsh on my hair (she never braids too tight). I was able to find someone to trim my natural hair but it's $100 every 6 months (trying to see if I can find another person that won't apply heat. I haven't used heat since the 2020 fight before the pandemic and I refuse to). My hair will like something and then hate it. It won't take in heavy products. It'll just sit on my hair. I find a good conditioner, but I'm still looking for a shampoo (I'm going to try an unscented one now I think my scalp hates fragrance especially since my actual face hates it). The trim when I got it in November, my hair loved it and felt so soft after. I have a lot of breakage (especially in the front and top of my hair) because my hair is so thin but I have a lot of it. The back of my hair takes moisture and everything is so much better than the top. I have tried (almost) every brand expensive and inexperienced. I am so sad. This year I plan on just cornrowing and doing crochet and wigs all year. Hopefully, I see progress. Sorry, I know this is a long read, but your video inspired me to not give up. If I am honest your hair is gorgeous (and so are you!) and I want that for myself. Thank you for the video :).
