What are your thoughts on washing braids or your protective styles?
I loooove natural hair and length retention. I think its not really a addiction but like a fetish?🫢
I always wash my hair if I have braids such as box braids or knotless just finished putting my plaits in again!! Time for goals!!‼️✊🏾
I wash my braids 😊
I washed my hair in twists a few times, but it gets so tangled! I'm loving the ease of braids x

It seems like this routine is helping every to reach waist length in a couple of years. I started my braids yesterday.
Yay to the braids! Did you do them yourself?
@@SharatiaBanks yes, I did! Going to wash and redo once per month.. and I’m going to try to remember to moisturize and oil my hair daily 😅
You think your hair needs to be moisturized everyday?
@@SharatiaBanks heck nah 🤣And I haven’t been doing it either but I’ve been oiling about 4 times per week
Oh I read that wrong 🤣🤣🤣 my apologies, you said you want to oil often, understand now
Now we need that “she growing” dance in every length check video 😂😂🤷🏽♀️ Cause she’s growing !!!!!!!

I LOVE the way you wrapped your braids. I’ll be trying that on my twists. 👌🏽
Works wonders on twists as well! They don’t shrink up as much, keeps them elongated
I love to use glove , you are not the only one! I feel like it’s better for my hair and I hare also the feeling of products on my hands..
🗣️ YESSSSSSSS EXACTLY!!!
I love your energy ❤❤❤❤
🫶🏾🫶🏾 thanks 🙏🏾
Do you have a video of you parting and braiding your hair I'm trying to find a new protective style❤
Kinda.. it’s a short but I’ll have a full length video cause a number have been requesting czcams.com/users/shortsBJ4gm01Ugns?si=o7e3WKCU4iPJClUg
I love you so much lol!! This was so fun, I learn so much all the time 😍. My protective styling journey has been going really well and I’ve been itching to do a DIY oil myself. I need to get that going asap. May wait on your recipe if you share though 👀😉!
You're the best!!!! I'm so happy to hear your journey is going wellllllllllllllllll and I'm def gonna share my massive growth oil!!! I might even include it in a giveaway @thebrilauren
@@SharatiaBanks thank you ☺️, pp shedding is giving me a run for my money but I’m dealing with her accordingly 😛. And that would be so gracious of you ❤️!
Orange and turquoise are such a vibe. Idek if you meant your scarf and robe to match so well
I love orange and turquoise.. seen some CZcamsrs use those colors in their background and it’s so pretty. And no I bought them at different times but I wear them together often. The robe is actually a bridesmaids robe that’s says bridesmaids on the back
Wonderful thanks for teaching us great
Thanks for tuning in this week ❤️
Thanks again for the tips!! I finally got my plaits in and they look like yours❤❤❤ (shorter but still). I wanna try taking a multi vitamin of some kind as well. And the night time routine is so genius!!
You know how twists have shrinkage? it works so perfectly with twists too cause it keeps them elongated! Love my night routine ❤️❤️ and yay plaits!!!!! How long will you keep them in? @hourglass1177
@SharatiaBanks I think ima keep until July maybe. Have like a 2 or 3 month break and put them back in plaits for the rest of the year. Idk yet still learning
@@hourglass1177 okay cool!!!! I’ve been redoing each plait every 4-5 weeks so it doesn’t loc/matte. and I’m not looking forward to taking them allllll out in 3 weeks. I might let it breathe too like you said but maybe just for a week.
😭😭😭😭😭 girl you’re so funny. Thank you for the great tips.
🤗🤗my pleasureeeeeeee!!! And thanks for watching!
Flat like my butt took me out 😂😂😂
Yall so silly, I like it lol
“My hair is flat like my butt” LMFAO
🤣🤣🤣😮💨
I’m must wash my hair while in a protective style I’m going to try a few new herbs I love Amla Moringa and fenugreek they work well my hair loves them
Oooouuu that sounds like a good concoction! I may try that one day 🤗
Love your hair, love your energy ✨
Thank you so much!! preciatecha!!!
Beautiful and hilarious 💜💜🫶🏾new subbie💜
💁🏾♀️❤️ thanks so much!!!!
I wanna get my hair down to my crack too lol. You’re doing such a wonderful job with taking care of your hair. You’re definitely gonna get there this year. Have you tried using Amla powder in your smoothies? I use that, fenugreek, & cloves in my smoothies. They have so many health benefits.
Girl I haven’t even tried it yet! I have no idea how the powder taste 🤣🤣🤣 I currently use fenugreek water in my smoothies but I’m scared of cloves being my smoothies 🤣 how’s the taste? Like I can drink clove tea, but to put it in smoothies!?!? I gotta try it now 🤣
And thank you for the affirmation! 🙏🏾🥹
Surprisingly, the taste isn't bad. The taste of cloves in a smoothie isn't bad either. It also helps with circulation in the body. I love the benefits of both.@@SharatiaBanks
I’ll drink clove tea all day I just can’t fathom taking it cold lol ima try it in a smoothie
You're on to something drinking the herbal tea as well as applying it topically,I'm bout to start drinking tea too😂
yup! hair growths starts from within
use a hair wig cap, the super fine one as a strainer for your products
I used to but I heard wig caps have chemicals even after it's washed. but im so conflicted cause I still wear it on my head looooool what are your thoughts?
This is crazy! I started this routine in October of 2023 and am currently shocked at how good it is. I have been stuck at armpit legth for almost two years but it has broken so now I'm midback!!!! I am literally so excited. Now I leave the braids is for approx eigth weeks before redoing, but moisturize and clean my scalp everyweek. I have noticed the roots are a bit difficut to undo due to matting, but I care enough not to be rough and rushing. I am currently considering doing like you and redoing each plait every 4-5 weeks. Any advice?
That’s so awesome! Plaits seem to be helping a lot of people overcome a plateau. The only advice I have is what you said- redo every 4 weeks or sooner depending on hair type. 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Will try it
@@SharatiaBanks Thank you! Will definitely do that❤
Lemme know how it works for you
💪🏾💪🏾
I tried washing my hair in braids before and it didnt work for me. I found that the dirt sat at the roots. Your plaits look really good and really suits you. When I plait my own hair it looks way too flat for my liking.
thanksss but yikes! that doesnt sound like that was a pleasant experience. how long did you have the braids before you washed your braids?
You are so adorable and funny 🤣
🤗 thanks 😊
🙌🏽🙌🏽💅🏽💅🏽 like my butt is crazy 😂😂😂😭😭 lmbo
😜
Hey girl! All of your tips are amazing:) I've been struggling with my ends throughout my natural hair journey. They prevent me from detangling properly, sectioning my hair, and etc. Even if I trim my ends, they revert right back to being knotty but that's probably bc I'm not consistent with trimming lol. But I was wondering if you have any tips to prevent breakage and taking care of hair ends in general:)
it depends on the type of breakage. if the hair dries out then that cause breakage. deep conditioning is going to be your best friend when trying to prevent breakage in this case. gotta keep it moisturized and hydrated. and seal that in with an oil of your choice. do you know your hair's porosity?
@@SharatiaBanks I believe I have low porosity hair based on the research I've done. When I pray water on my hair there are "beads" of water so I think that's a factor of low porosity and thank you for the advice!
Spray* not pray lol
Ok well you’re def gonna need to deep condition with heat. I know the container says a timeframe, but at least 20 minutes under heat in opinion. Also, lightweight products would be best. Have you tried applying your leave in with a steamer?
@@SharatiaBanksI haven’t but I heard a lot abt the benefits. Would leaving a shower cap on my hair after leave in work the same?
Hey there new subbie I love watching this journey! I see that you take a vegan supplement, are you vegan and if so have you experienced hair loss or thinning due to it? I recently noticed my edges the follicles were just really weak like they would fall out easily so I am wondering if
Hey thanks for subbing!!!! I’m not vegan, I’m like 95% plant based. I have a vitamin d and iron deficiency not because of diet per se. I WAS vegan yearssss ago and I had a head full of hair. Density was high high lol but the deficiencies is because of Genetics and lack of sun 😩😩 but my levels are coming up yayyyyyyy.
I finally figured out who you remind me of
KJ Smith🤗
🤣🤣 I get that a lot along with Taraji
How does the fenugreek water taste and how to make it
It’s a lil bitter but it gets easier to drink after a while .. I don’t have any measurements, I sort of eye it. But the teapot holds 4 cups of water. I prob use half cup seeds
It was around a month. I dont do that anymore. I just wash in between styles now.
oh ok, thanks for sharing
How do you reduce your frizz?
Gloves and the my night routine with the headscarf that I showed 💁🏾♀️❤️
After you washed your hair did you take out the plaits and redo them or do you just wash it and let them dry?
After I wash them, I let them air dry. I’ll redo each plait every 4-5 weeks. I’ll be redoing the whole style every 3-4 months
@@SharatiaBanks Thank you for responding. I do two strand twists and it takes me days from taking them down, untangling them and sectioning my hair, washing it and twisting them again to the point where sometimes I consider just cutting my hair off.
Anyhow I like your method but I’m concerned about wetting the hair and then just leaving it to dry in its plaited state.
But my hair is so thick and hard to wash, I have to do it in many sections and I’m tired of it. If there’s a way to do it more efficiently like what you do I’d want to try it. I’m just reluctant because I’d heard that wetting the hair while it was in a protective style would cause breakage but that hasn’t been your experience?
I understand all too well! And no, I haven’t experienced any breakage. Everyone’s hair is different, but I think the reason that’s said is because we typically have extensions/added hair in our hair braids. My hair won’t break in plaits is because there’s nothing weighing it down or creating tension. It’s just my hair. It’s small enough to cleanse and deep condition but not too small that it’ll loc @quantrell4362
How tall are you? Your hair growth is amazing!😮
Before I answer, I’m genuinely curious about how tall I LOOK. Do I look tall?
@yvette194 Also THANKS YOUUUUUUUU 🥹 consistency and routine (as you can see from the video lol)
@@SharatiaBanks Yes you look 5’7” to 5’8”, when you pulled your hair down for the length check all I could think was “I have a ways to go!!!”. 🤣
@@yvette194 okayyyy so I look a little tall lol I'm 5'6 so you know how tall/long my scarf is at 12:16 in the video. I wanna find one that's longer idk where to look .... how long is your hair now?
@@SharatiaBanks wait I completely missed that! The Mary part killed me. 🤣🤣 Honestly that’s so impressive. I’m mid back an inch or two shy from waist length. Let’s grow these inches..🫶🤭
How many braids do you have in?
Ha! I actually know this answerrrrr 45!!! @napturo90
Would you please be kind enough to share your amla mask recipe?
Sure! It was
* 1/3 cup Amla powder
* 1/3 cup of my tea concoction (fenugreek,rosemary,butterfly pea flower, cloves)
* 1 tbsp olive oil
The paste was a little thick as you saw. I’d also suggest to add a lil more water and maybe aloe Vera so it’s not so thick and to make it easier to spread.
@@SharatiaBanks Much appreciated, thank you.
MY PLEASURE!
Is this the tea your drinking@@SharatiaBanks
My scalp hates oil except for jojoba oil
Makes sense.. they say jojoba oil it closest to our natural sebum
Hello 👋 How long have you been taking msm and are you still taking it?
Hey!!!! And YESSSSSSSSS I just started taking msm again. It’s been probably about 1 month since. But I take it in pill form now. There’s also msm in the liquid vitamins I take too.
@@SharatiaBanks thanks I’ll look into the liquid msm. I’m 5 weeks into taking the powder and it’s really helping with my joints. Not sure if it’s time to give it a break but I’m worried I won’t be able to move around without it plus my job is very demanding. Girl I’m following you every step of the way 😭I’m also taking Mary Ruth’s vitamins lol
@@erejo3274 if the msm is working why stop? and Ive never heard of it coming in liquid form!!! I gotta look that up lol.... (also use my code MROSHARATIA15 for 15% off so you can save some coins )
@@SharatiaBanks I won’t stop then. Oh Thank you ❤️
my pleasure
Shey ur hair is relaxed??
nope! natural kinks and coils from roots to ends
How did you learn how to take care of your hair
a little bit of Research and Trial and error. I started off slow with my routine. Had to find something that worked for me knowing who I am. I’m sort of a lazy natural meaning I’m not tryna do the most with anything from maintenance to styling. So I keep it simple. I found products that worked for my hair type (porosity and thickness) but I bought them separately as to not overwhelm and so I can see if I truly like it. Basically lol
When you did the research what did you search
Porosity and thickness and what products work best for the hair type
this didnt work for me :(
what didnt work?
Amla fruit is bitter🥴
Nooo Is it really!? But it looks so good and juicy 🤣🤣🤣
@@SharatiaBanks you are right about the juicy part but extremely bitter, probably the most bitter fruit I've ever tasted zero sweetness
@latilemasisani8722 well thanks for the heads up!
