The fact that you outgrew my hair twice.. my hair just doesn't respect me 😭
I feel u
It's not funny sis😂😢
Literally
😂😂😂😂 I feel the same
Mine too 😭😭😭
I've used your method and my hair growth is so much! Mines stayed at shoulder blade length now its almost touching my waist after two years.
Oh thats so amazing to hear!!!❤️❤️❤️
@@SeunOkimi💯💯💯 your methods WORK! I'm looking forward to the tutorial for this hairstyle as well 😍 I love kinky straight weave but weave literally kills my leave-out 😖
. What’s your method
My hair also grows when I exercise. Whenever I start a health journey with loads of exercising my hair takes off
Yes!!!
You can't forget your German sister when you launch your hair care line. Please consider delivering overseas as well🥺🥺.
Yes!!!!!!!
Thanks you!🥰
@@SeunOkimi to the UK too please
Japan too please! We have nothing here!😅
Worldwide because I want to support as well from the British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬
I learned to braid using my daughter's Barbie head, my 9 year old granddaughter started doing the same thing last year. Practice, experimenting, and CZcams university has saved me so much money and helped me to feel more comfortable doing my own protective styles and wearing my natural 4c hair. Your tutorials are awesome.
Oh thats amazing!!!! I'm really glad!❤😊 Aw yes! I'm definitely buying one for my little girl when I get to have one too🥰🥰🥰
Yup ❤
I’ve noticed this year when I do my hair and my granddaughters hair the whole box braids or what have you whatever they’re calling them now I’m free braid their natural hair only and then I go and with the extension hair I don’t add too much. It won’t be too heavy on every other day after school I hit it with spray, water and olive oil at the end of where their hair their own hair is in squish it in then I put a cream leave in and squish it, this has helped us retain every inch of hair. I just wanted to throw that out there for anyone. This has been my experience game changer.
I don’t think it’s healthy how excited I am omg ❤😂
ahh❤️❤️❤️❤️😆😊
Also! What took me yearsssss to realize with protective styles is the type of hair you use. If the added hair you use is rough, the kanelalon hair can cut through your own hair. So Marley twists or boho braids are cute but depending on the hair, the strands can be rough and tangle up, cut through or dry out your own hair strands
What helps me is hair grease, it creates a barrier between your natural hair and synthetic hair, it gives my hair slip so even after take down , 3 months later my hair feels moisturized and the synthetic hair just feels smoothened. I moisturize and seal every few weeks and maybe wash once or twice during the wear.
Yeah this is exactly why when I do a true pro style, I use yarn, like crochet knitting yarn. 100% acrylic is when I use and I find that my breakage is quartered than when I use Marley or any hair from the beauty shop.
Yes I use Brazilian hair wool too. Saved my strands
@bobokissa2502 Wool has been known to dry and break our hair! That's why people put satun bones in those wool French baret hats and silk scarves around the color of wool coats! The constant friction of wool against Afro hair causes breakage! When I do my African threading, I haven't done it yet, I'll use the weave thread to wrap around my hair to look like two strand twists! Quite a few ladies have videos on the Africa threading that that looks like two strand twists! They used wool and acrylic yarn, but I suggested using weave thread to the lady using wool yarn and she said she might give it a try!😊
@@vastya.3255I do the same but moisturize weekly ❤
God bless you 😊 your video makes me love our African hair so much more. My problem is staying consistent I could be taking care of my hair gently for 3-5 months then the next month I mess up by neglecting my hair for a while or being rough with them or having a bad experience with a hairstylist because I was too tired to braid my own hair, then it’s like all the previous effort was for nothing 😢 sometimes I literally pray to God to protect my hair when I don’t have the energy to take care of them properly because it’s not always easy
Same girl same! These utube videos is just like the motivational workout videos I’ll take a three hour nap watch six hours of motivational workout videos to get up and work out for 35 minutes lol so I’ll watch my favorite natural hair CZcamsrs then around midnight. I’ll finally get up and start doing something to my head, especially on the, I’m depressed for lazy days of the month you’re not alone
Get locs

This is the real hair gist, not all that 'hair growth product sermons' out there. Thanks Seun, you're one of the naturalistas I followed when I started my natural hair journey and I've learned alot from you over the years - especially crochet 😊
That's a sew in?!!! Oooh!! I can't wait for that video to drop. 🎉
Girl omg I was looking for you a couple months ago and couldn’t find any recent videos! I’m so happy you’re posting a new video and that you’re ok!
Yes!! Thank you!!!🥰🥰❤️
Girl your hair is flourishing ❤❤❤
Thank you!!!❤❤
You are someone to watch!! I’ve been follow since before you went natural. Wow what amazing growth!!
Wow Seun, its amazing to see your hair! I remember watching your video when you cut your hair and saying to myself that I'm going on this journey with you... then you hid from us and boom! Your hair is 5x longer than mine 😂😂.
Following your last video, I washed my hair and kept telling myself "Don't do anything CRAZY!" Because that's what I had learned.
You're a great teacher and I can't wait to support your products, even though I live in the UK ❤🇬🇭🇬🇧
This video is soooo GOOD! I love how you break it down about being gentle, learning how to style your own hair, and just overall being careful with your hair so that we can enjoy more length retention. This is GOLDEN! Thank you!
Thank you!!!!❤
5 years Natural and u the 1st to make since THANK YOU. I KNOW I will retain length from now on
You're totally Godsent. I got really sad today thinking of how to care better for my hair as it breaks so bad & is barely retaining any length. Then your video popped up. Thank youuuu❤
Use aloe vera gel and ayurvedic herbs in your oils, teas and masks and see your hair transform!
Yayyy so glad you’re back!🎉🎉 couldn’t agree more with the finger detangling, it has been a game changer for me and my 4c hair. Looking forward to your line!❤
Thank you!!!!❤
I definitely want to try being more gentle to my hair😊 You seem like such a nice person to be around❤
Aw thank you!!❤❤❤ Yes! it helps a lot! Doing my hair is very relaxing for me when I'm stressed too!
@SeunOkimi. Thanks for updating on these important nuggets Seun. I find I take longer styling my hair sometimes because I enjoy the process now, - so I take my sweet time being gentle, nurturing and loving the health of my hair, it feels therapeutic.
Yey, she's back and with a product line brewing! Oh, it's a great day!!!!🤸🏾♀️
❤❤❤❤
All of this is facts! I wish I knew all of this when I first when natural. I did so much unnecessary manipulation from dyeing, silk presses, and TOOLS. Tools are such a big culprit for breakage. I stopped using a knock off Felicia Leatherwood brush and I've seen a huge difference in my density. Now I just flat twist and leave my hair alone for a week.
Thank Seun. What I hear and understand from you the most is be intentional about the love and care of your hair. ❤❤I look forward to you hair line launch! I was love seeing your journey. I love finger detangling as well! ❤🎉
Yes!!! Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Omgod CANT WAIT for the sewing tutorial. I really want a break and do something different so this is a godsend. Thanks for the videos your hair looks healthy and gorgeous!
Thank you!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Soooo thorough, these were great tips! You are someone I will definitely be taking notes from!!
FINALLY ANOTHER BANGA!!
😊🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
@@SeunOkimi your so pretty
Do your OWN HAiR. Salons r NOT gentle. athey r in a hurry to make that dollar off next client 😂
You really hit the nail on the head...yes I too realised the less of customer focus ( individual's hair) and more on ensuring their purses fill up faster. Blessings!!!
Welcome back!!! Wow your hair has grown !
Flat twists for the win! They have definitely helped me.I wear mine as a style though.
I am so glad that you are back. I started with the CZcamsr that laughed because CZcams broke her hair off. I love that lady and then I found you. I just re-watched your big chop going natural video again, and the joy that you had in that video the way you explain thingsand express yourself. I’m so glad you’re not a foodie because I’d be fat. I cannot wait for your hair Caroline to give it a try on my hair and my two granddaughters hair. Keep up the great work.
Lord voiced texted that! Not”laughed”…… left because utube broke her hair off. Beg pardons voicing and from Alabama sometimes is just a NO!
Lol at the Alabama accent😄 Who was the CZcamsr? I'm just curious
So excited for you! I can say I followed you way back when before you launched your multimillion dollar hair care empire. Much success to you. I'll be buying anything you create for sure!
Aw, Thank you so much!!!!❤
In Jesus name, Amen!!! I definitely see that in her near future ❤.
My hair grows and retains length with making sure I clean and moisturize my hair well before French braiding it for crochet braids that I usually wear for two months at a time. I don't cut my ends often either. I have found that dying my hair dries my hair, so I just use rinses now.
I was so excited to see this video!
❤❤❤❤
TYSM. I didn’t realize I was having health concerns until I started focusing on growing my hair, I was deficient in so many vitamins and nutrients. I now take supplements but needed a consistent regimen. Oh and you remind me of the singer Ari Lennox. Two BEAUTIFUL 😍
Very very very informative!!! Eye opening on hair growth and retaining length!!!❤
Thank you!!!!❤
Vitamin D deficiency can also cause hair breakage, hair loss, and non-scarring alopecia. Vitamin D deficiency is also endemic in African people and diaspora because of avoiding sun exposure while actually needing more sun than people of European heritage or ethnicities with light complexions. In addition vitamin D fights inflammation. Inflammation also reduces hair quality. May this information bless someone who needs it. Feel free to research this yourself.
Spot on! As an esthetician this deficiency is the main cause of my clients' hair and skin issues.
Thank you for sharing!
Flat twisting is soo goooood. It not only looks smart, but also naturally straightens the hair. ❤ thanks Seun
So glad to see you! Your hair has grown SOOO MUCH!
❤❤❤
Can’t wait to see the tutorial for the sew in 😍😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can't wait for your haircare line. ❤❤
All Praises and Honor To The Most High! Yay❤ come on Sista!!!! 💞 I smiled through the entire video
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Seun, always look forward to your videos
Thank you!!!❤❤
Happy to be the 1st viewer ❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Beautiful Seun! 😊 I have always been able to keep my hair a decent length. A year and a half ago, I got diagnosed with a serious illness and started some rough meds. On top of that, I was getting married. 😖My hair went from waist length to collar bone. I got a keratin treatment in order to keep me from having to manipulate it as much. That, combined with biweekly alternating protein and DC treatments has gotten me back past bra strap! I also started WORKING OUT, lost 50 lbs, and discovered Viviscal, which has made my hair thicker than ever! I grew my hair this time and only wore a protective style twice! I only use the silicone shampoo scalp scrubber as a “brush” if not my fingers. I wear my hair in a clip or satin scrunchie when chilling at home. This is getting long lol, so I’ll just say that I can personally attest to every single one of your tips. Thank you for the love you show to our community! ❤
I love that!!!
Thank you!!!!❤❤
I realise the volume of my hair expanded, but no length. For two months, my hair wasn't manipulated, and I grew close to 1 1/2 inch of hair. I'm so excited. I'm aiming for bra strap hair. Ðefinely going to be more kind to my hair.
Great to see you ❤️ with a video I have my natural hair as a male love your approach.
Oh thats great!!! Thank you!!❤😊
Amazing advice! ❤🙌🏿 Thank you for sharing.
You're so welcome!
Lovely hair 😍. My goal is to have my hair in mini twists for the next 6 months...see how that helps because lately it's not only breaking but also shading a lot! Of course I'll wash and deep condition it inbetween weeks but i intend to keep it in twists right after 💯
One thing i pray for God to give me is patience when finger detangling while putting in my protective styles and taking them out. When i was putting in the current protective style i have, half way through i got tired of finger detangling bcoz it was taking quite long (my arms were aching, i was also doing tiny mini twists), so i used a comb on the other side of my head. I can tell u know that my hair on my right is considerably shorter than that on my left. I have seen it for myself, ive felt bad, and i will try better next time😊
How about watching movies or CZcams while detangling? I’ve found that makes the time spent unnoticeable for me.
The thing with me is that my mom cannot allow me to spend an entire day on my hair, she says i need to study. So i would always do my hair in the evening. It took me 3 days to put in the mini twists i have
@@vimbai8519 ahh now I get your problem, you don't have a specific set day you can spend on doing your hair which pushes you to just rip through your hair as you are working on a time limit? ive had the same issue until i just solved it by just choosing a dedicated day and time specifically for my selfcare which includes my hair, it's also important for self love to have a day were you can just pamper yourself. Also like someone else said try to listen to podcasts or CZcams and Netflix to pass time faster. I think you need to have a one on one conversation with your mom that not everyday is meant for studying and that taking care of your hair is also very important.
Use rawits aloe vera gel yo detangle or the aloe prepoo treatment of African Pride
Wow this hairstyle is amazing!!!! I need that tutorial
Thank you!!!
Wow no leave out 😮. It looks so good. Must watch that tutorial video once it comes
Going to natural hair salons helped me in the beginning of my natural hair journey
That's what I'm trying to find
Your natural hair length is my hair goal
You big chopped your hair like a year after I did and mine is slightly past my shoulders 😭 This ain’t fair!! Best believe I got my pen and notepad as I watch this video.
Wow you can defiantly tell she takes care of her hair!
This was very helpful
I really like your videos Seun
I’m going to make up a commit to being more gentler with my hair
I will report back next year with my results
God bless you sis

Aw, Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh yeah! Will show a tutorial of doing a flat twist WHILE adding extra hair in???
Yes, please...next tutorial!!!
Protective styles have been helpful in growing my hair. A few months ago I sewed down a u part wig and wore it as a protective style and it looked great but I experienced breakage in my nape area from the friction of the back of the wig. I was so discouraged but every time I experience a setback I count it as something new I learned about my hair and I keep moving forward on my hair growth journey lol now I know not to do that and if I do making sure my nape is always moisturized
I love that! It is true, There is always something we can take out of a situation to learn more
Looking forward to the sew in tutorial
❤️❤️❤️
Basically top tip from this video for me is learn how to do my own hair!
This is such a good idea because the person who does my braids usually blows out my hair & it can hurt & when she braids sometimes towards the front. (I should tell her tbh so my bad). And I could find another person who doesnt blow dry before but my mum wouldnt agree.
Yessssssssss we are getting a hair care line 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The finger detangling is huge in part to retention
Yes!!
I was just watching your videos and then you posted
😊😊😊🥰❤️!!🎉
Thank you for sharing.
Yes sweet sister ❤❤❤❤❤❤over the years I’ve watched you’ are simply beautiful inside and out ❤❤❤❤full of wisdom ❤
Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow I need to try this because my goodness it was just yesterday cut your hair….I cut mine in 2015 and I see no progress whatsoever compare to your at all. Thanks for all the tips
I just missed you tbh😂❤
🥰❤️❤️
Girl you hair just grows fast as hell😭
Nice video I listen to it to the end. ❤
Thank you!❤
@@SeunOkimi Welcome😎💞
Please post the full sew in tutorial as soon as possible. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m sick of dealing with leave out that won’t blend 😫
I feel you!!! It is out now!!😊❤️❤️
Thanks a lot for ur videos, my hair has been growing a lot since i've discovered your channel 3 years ago!! I learnt and started to do my own hair since I found u.❤❤❤ , im in college and my daily routine is super busy. I've been shifting from box braids to recently a wig. I'm kinda tired of braids and I wanted to add another hairstyle to my hair care routine, but I dont know what to do.... I was thinking of doing crochet hair, but I dont know how much time should I stay with them.
I dont mind a hairstyle that takes time to do it, but the amount of time I'll stay with them it matters to me,... could you please give me a suggestion, what should I do??
❤ this video 🎉 I would love to hear your thoughts about natural hair going grey my hair the growth feel like it has stopped...at shoulder length
I missed your videos 🥰
❤❤❤❤
Your hair is looking lovely
Thank you😊
Couldn’t agree more 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I'm into medium/large braids and wide tooth combs to stop breakage.
I have been relaxed for a long time about to transition to natural for the first time ever and i don't know if I'll regret it
I wish you all the best with your transition!!!❤️❤️❤️
Hey, Seun. I learnt a lot from this video. Thank you 😊. How can I maintain a clean and moisturized scalp and hair while on protective styling for a long period of time, like 2 to 3 months, as you have suggested?
Thank you so much for the vide it’s really great also do you leave a sew in for the same amount of time 2-3 months?
Thank you!!!! You can, depending on your hair type and how the hair is installed!
Very helpful
My biggest problem is the fairy knots.
Sameee
Same
Same, the only time I don't have them is when my hair is blow dried
@@a.dria_nakeep your hair blow dryed/ stretched
I've found that I am able to avoid experiencing this if I don't attempt to detangle may hair when it is dry!! Doing this made a significant difference for me!
Thanks for sharing dear you have beautiful hair🤗🤗🤗👍
Thank you so much 🤗
Tutorial on how you inserted the sew-in on a flat twist, please 🤲🏾
Yes, It is out now!!!
It’s not easy to twist your hair when it’s perm. Or when it’s nicely trimmed. Do you trim your ends?
Do you have a video of the stunning style?
It really looks amazing 🥰🥰🥰.
Thank you!!!!! Yes! It is now up!!😊😊❤️
Great information! Thanks dear. Can you put the link for the doll as you said.
Thank you for reminding me!!!
