Thank youuuuu
That's what I love about your hair... It's thick all the way down. Very rare to see. You go girl!
You’re the type of person I want to be my stylist. I took care of my own hair for years before I decided to try to find a “natural hair stylist”. What I found was that now a days “natural hair stylist” are just people who do hair in general but don’t actually know anything about how to treat and care for natural hair. These “stylist” still use combs, blow dryers, and other tools. They also yank and pull on my hair so much that they are pulling hair out. Plus allllll they want to do is CUT the hair. I had to go back to doing my hair myself because it’s clear that I’m the only person who truly CARES about my hair the same way you do yours.
Lauren Gray yessss I know this is a little different but I decided to start my hair journey at 14, the time I finally convinced my mom to let me do my own hair, and when I told my hairstylists (who has relaxed hair) she told me that she didn’t know why I would want to do that because black hair is always nappy, always matted, and that you can’t do anything with your hair. She had the audacity to tell me that I couldn’t do anything with my NATURAL 4A/B HAIR! I didn’t even know my natural curl pattern, which is so beautiful, until I washed it by myself for the 3rd or 4th time. She would blow dry my hair every time she did it every two weeks, but only after roughly rubbing my hair dry with an old towel that caused breakage galore. I’m 15 now, and I’ve gone from my hair being a little above my neck to my collarbone! I think that’s about three inches. I’m so happy I decided to take that step even though my mom’s still skeptical😕
Monica Wilson good for you honey ! I start around 14 as well...protect and moisturize your hair and you’ll be good, most of all trust your instincts !! ❤️❤️❤️
Monica Wilson i also transitioned to natural around 15. A lot of my critics are now natural themselves and have asked me for tips. No one could understand why I wanted to go natural. My mom acted like my hair would fall out 🤔🤨?? My hair never went past my shoulders when I was relaxed. Now it often grows to armpit length before I cut it lol. I’m trying not to do that anymore because I do want it to grow out. It’s so much easier to care for imo and super easy to retain length. I don’t need to combat harsh chemicals
@@dayton900 I had to reply. Please continue to stay encouraged to remain natural. Practicing low manipulation styles and moisturizing. Learn about your hair porosity so you'll know what products your hair needs. Im so sorry the styles tried to fill your mind with lies
Black hair can grown and it's not always matted. There are many Black women who are glowing long hair. I pray the Lord bless your hands to grow your hair. Speak life over your hair. I started at ear length n now im at arm pit length my goal is waist length. Stay encouraged and keep researching youtubers with healthy hair so you can learn how to grow your hair blessing.
Haven’t gone to the salon since 2019 and I’ve retained 7 inches of length, something I could never achieve in only a year
Edit: 31st December 2019 to be exact, so basically since 2020. Ever since I put my hair care into my own hands, only twist my hair, wash my twists and retwist, oil oil oil, leave in conditioner every day (just a little bit mixed with water), my hair has flourished so much. It’s amazing what a whole year without combing and heat has done for my hair
About detangling, my hair stylist once told me: “Let your hair products do the work for you.” Changed my life.
U keep your hair like dreads basically I see how it grows
What do you mean? By leaving the twist up for a month then retwisting?
@@OctaviaGunn no taking it out and redoing them
Yay marshmallow root I also use slippery elm too. Don't sleep on that either. Girl I must say you really have put me onto somethings...it's all good and my hair is growing and thriving. I've ditched the conventional stuff and I'm doing my research on what works for her and what doesn't. Thanks sooo much. 😍😍😍❤😉
where do you buy them please
@@infinitelyblessed4812 Amazon.
I love how you teach us to love and embrace our hair, even though I finally started doing that years ago, it’s still great to reiterate that. I haven’t made my flaxseed gel yet, but that’s next on my list. You were so funny when you said the tangle thingies😂. I have noticed I have very little breakage when I finger detangle compared to using tools, but I don’t have awesome nails like you so trying to detangle my roots can be taunting...I’ll keep trying to get better at that. Thank you for the informative and awesome video.💜
yaaaas queen! come through with the uploads! you changed my hair life! I've been wearing my twists for about 3 weeks now and my fine strands are loving it.
I'm Native American and hair is a deep connection to you and spirit. I love touching and braiding my hair. Plus it keeps the ends tucked in. I also protect my natural hair from the elements by wearing a scarf. ❤😊
Just a thought, when you get to the midpoint when retwisting, use a hair clip and adjust it to the bulk of your hair that is pinned up and continue twisting, that way you won't have to worry about trying to stretch your arm (Lol)
Gurl!!! Thank you!!! I never thought of that!! Gotta try it next time thanks love!
Glad to know I'm not the only one who untwists hair a few inches from the end. Best for my 4C.
Hello.New subscriber here! 😊. I am half way into this. So grateful to have come across your channel. I can already tell you have grown very knowledgeable in your hair care journey and just the lil tidbit of info I've received thus far is confirmation to myself I am on the right path w my own journey. I haven't completely ditched my combs n brushes, but in the past year I am seeing positive results from fingering thru my strands verses combing..I was forced into a big chop after my hair falling out from meds I was prescribed back in Nov 2022. Big chop was done Jan 2023, I had a lil over 2 inches of hair all around. My hair reaches a lil past my neck now in July 2024. Your tips are Awesome! Thank you💜
Why was this video so satisfying?🤣😂
mommynti3 Stewart that waterfall sound is doing it for me lol
My mom was a 5th grade reading teacher and had "the word of the day" and used it as many times as possible , after a why you knew the word . Lol it happens unconsciously to everyone from time to time . It wasn't too bad . I love your hair .
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been using little to no products or oils since end of winter - no products at all except for water for past month- and I’m having similar results as you. Reduced split ends. Thickness to the ends, and lots of length retention. My hair health overall has improved as well. I’m shocked. Sebum is an amazing hair product and free too.
Thanks for making our natural hair journey a safer way to arrive with long healthy tresses. Your demos are so caring. I love being part of the tribe.
Thanks, great tips. I have 4c hair and I have tried detangling with my fingers, this doesn't work for my hair type but since I have using the Aleo Vera juice on my hair before detangling, has helped a lot, it doesn't mat up as much and I have learned to retwist my hair weekly to keep from matting up as well. The one tip I like is misting my hair with the Aleo Vera juice first before taking out my twist, I use to mist my hair with the juice once I take the twist apart, so I will try misting my hair with the juice first. I do use JBCO daily as well as misting my hair daily with the mixture of Aleo Vera juice and water and my hair loves it, I have a very little shedding, also, my hair hates olive oil and I don't know why but it is ok because it loves the JBCO. I have never heard of the marshmallow roots before but will try, again, thanks for the tips.
I'm at that stage on my journey where even a tangle teezer breaks off my ends. Living in twists or locs is the way to go for long term. Thx for this video.
I dont even know how your video popped up on my feed.. But i am very thankful i learned so much
I’ve learned so many valuable tips from you sis! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your expertise!!🧡🧡 #melenatedtribe✊🏾
Love the idea of using aloe vera mixed with marshmallow root! Olive oil is amazing and so are you!💜
Did you use the powder or you boiled the actual root and added it to the fresh aloe? (I have the marshmallow root powder).
curli-lettey Hi. I use the powder. I also use aloe vera juice brand Lily of the Desert. It is at health food stores.
The water is soooooo relaxing
Lol my turtle tank 😁
Good lord, love! I cannot express how much I love how you LOVE your hair. So beautiful, so empowering. You are such a blessing. Thank you so much. Blessings to you!
I've just started using aleo vera on my hair because of you and brought back caster oil into my regime again. Must say the also vera is amazing! Thanks
Hi!! Can you do an informative video of how you learned what your hair likes? A lot of people talk about this but for us who have natural hair but still don't know our hair, we need to know how to learn about our hair. What there is to know about it? What hydration feels like andwhat something being good for your hair feels like and so on?? Thank you.
Your the best!😘 got my hair at 14 inches.. Can’t wait to be at your length!!
Please don't forget to do the video on your spiritual beliefs about hair.
I won't 🤗
@@IndigenousStrandz11 Why not? Would it be too controversial? I am curious, maybe you know something about spirituality that most don't know
@@West_Indian_Aiyah shes saying she wont forget to make the video.
@@West_Indian_Aiyah lol I meant I won't forget to do that video... I filmed it once but wasn't pleased... But don't worry it will be up soon😊
@@brittneyr.5114 aaah ok, read it different
You make it look so easy! 😍😍🤩
It would give me another life if you and Curly Proverbs do a video together. She just became a fulltime content creator.
"We want to keep them from eloping..." Lol. I like that. 😊👍
The fountain in the background is so soothing!
Your a real one for apologizing. Do you! I love your videos. Tell people to grow up
You just seem like you have it all together.
Thanks so much for keeping us updated 🤗❣ It really helps me stay on track! 😁👍🏾I'm using my afro comb again to detangle. 😬 My hair is low density so it helps make my twist more plump. I infused my aloe juice with fenugreek for thickness at the roots so I can ditch the comb.😐🤞🏽I'm allergic to flaxseeds, so my gel is aloe leaf, okra & marshmallow root!🥰 I feel like I'm doing pretty good so far. 🤷🏾♀️ 1 question - did you twist more often when your hair was shorter? 🤔 I feel like I'm refreshing my twists almost everyday! 😑
monnie j me toooo! 😩
Try using seamoss as a gell
This HAS to be the #1 game changing technique for tiny high shrinkage curls/coils that has the most length retention results. #2 Keeping hair stretched particularly with low to know heat.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️✨Great information on detangling hair. I guess I need to increase the amount of time I detangle my hair and moisturize. Thanks!
Hey new member to your tribe here you have beautiful hair and great tips too. So glad I found you.
Thank you for the video sis. I really love your content. Sis do you deep. Condition ur hair/or did you do it before your hair journey? Can you give us some advice on how to transition from store bought products to natural/diy products.
Different people treat their hair differently. When I transitioned from store bought products to natural products, I first washed my hair out with a sulfate shampoo to get all the product build up out. Then I water washed my hair for about a month. After that, I slowly started adding in natural products which my hair and scalp loves it. Using the least amount of products works best for me. I also switched from the LOC method to the LCO method. This kept my hair moisturized longer than before.
@@jjjmmm6112 was your hair dry in the beginning

Yay! So happy to get a new video today. I did your fresh aloe vera scalp treatment yesterday... wow!!! My scalp instantly stopped acting up, no more itching or feeling of heat
Is the marshmallow root you used in powder form?
Thanks love! I'm due for a scalp treatment! No I used whole herb🌱🌿
@@IndigenousStrandz11 where you bought it
@@IndigenousStrandz11 do you infuse the herb or do you just add it to the spray bottle?
@@klassy86 I infuse the whole herb
@@infinitelyblessed4812 at my local health food market
How long did it take you to grow your hair that length? Have you ever worn it blown out?
8 years but i cut it twice. yes! I have but not in a couple years and i did a very light blow out using the tension method
Do you have photos of the cut and the blow out?
@@empressscorpion3078 but if I can find some I'll ask my mom I will post it
Indigenous Strandz Hello. I hope you are well.
I recently shaved my hair and it’s growing back. I have been using castor oil and aloe spray. I also added some grease as well as the other oils don’t hold in my hair
What do you suggest to grow my shaved hair. Thanks so much.
Meg
Girl don’t explain yourself!! They grown! They will get over it do you!! We will be here for it!
Your hair is beautiful! Question: Do you swim? If so, how do you prep/care for your strands before, during and/or after contact with chlorine? Thankx.
This finger detangle game must be strong cause you have hair for days
Woe this will take the whole day for your full and long hair!
How long does your flaxseed gel last? do you add preservatives?
around 2 weeks no preservs
@@IndigenousStrandz11 do you sell it
@@josephupholstery1416 no I don't, sorry.. maybe one day lol
Yes im so happy when u have a new video up
Your hair is beautiful😍😍. Do or have you ever used a hair streamer on your hair?
Please what do u use for protein treatment and deep condition.
nothing at all lol
I just started wearing two-strand twist. How often do you retwist your hair?
Gil we not even noticing if you looking the same.we just want the class to start and you beautiful
I am literally a brand new subscriber. Hey, Girl! I may be asking a question that you've already touched on, but if you or anyone reading this can reply, I would really appreciate it: when you cleanse/shampoo/co-wash/condition/wash your hair, you leave your hair twisted? (I think it's pretty cool that I stumbled upon your channel because years ago I thought to twist my hair (in lieu of locs) as my 24/7- or everyday-style, but never did. Now that I have a daughter and after watching your upload posted after this video, I am considering this type of hair lifestyle for her hair.)
Yes she keeps it in twist.
I just found you do you have a video on how you did your twists I have a hard time parting so you don't ever use a wide tooth comb i'm willing to learn finger detangling Thank you sis!
Ok new tribe member. Going to start incorporating natural ingredients. Pray it works for me☺
Luv ur twists🙌💕🥰
Hair goals 💜💜💜🗣️ what hair products do you use ?
When I have braids I be missing my hair too and be praying that the braids didn't take my hair out and people be having heavy handed and I wanna take them down immediately
Same here sis
Your hair is glorious
Wauw beautiful

So, do you actually play the guitar??
Hell yeah in my head I tear it up! 😎 Naw my husband bought it and said he can play......
3 years later ain't heard him play one damn string lol
@@IndigenousStrandz11 LMFAO.... Well I'll teach you! Maybe I'll make a video just for you guys to teach you a few chords! SMH. Tell him you want your money back!!!!! A refund for all the things he said he could do but couldn't....lol! Tell him your African ancestors want it back!
@@hrhjiddah2016 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying! I'm like damn can I at least get Mary had a Little as lamb! Can't b that hard 😆🤣
@@IndigenousStrandz11 I'm with you! We will send him a refund request for you... On behalf of your ancestors. Okay so I'll send you an email with your personal practice video. That poor guitar is probably not tuned either...SMH. So look, first thing is to download an app called guitar tuner. I'll show you how to tune it in the video... Very simple. Anyone can do it. Make husband tune it as part of his refund plan. See you there... Im sure I'll find an email for you in the thumbnail?
Where do you get the marshmallow root, flaxseed gel, and aloe vera juice?
How do you keep you ends so thick? I’ve been twisting my hair in medium to thick braids weekly and wearing twist outs at the weekends for the last couple of months, I had a good amount of growth, but noticed my ends were thinning😕
Also what kind of tools do you use to detangle?
Watch her first video on this channel you will get your answer
It may be the size of your twist along w/ needing a cut. I had to work my way up to her method, it took me a year, and I still have to adjust size of my twists. I knew I realistically, I needed to cut 8 inches because I bleached my hair 3yrs ago. I couldn't let go of my length all at once, because I love my length. That's why I went natural couldn't get past bra strap relaxed. Anyway, I slowly cut a 1 and 1/2 inches every 3 months. Still got a good 2inches to cut but I'm finally back to mid-back(when streatched), which is where I was before bleaching ste up my hair. Also my hair is dense, but not as dense as her's so I do smaller twist than she does. I think she said she has approximately 80-100 twist but I have 126 exactly. That number fits my length and density. Also I don't do twist-outs, just retwist individually, except when I trim my damage off every 3mo, and hopefully this next trim will be the last. Hope this helps.
JADE P thank you, I did trim my ends and I usually finger detangle. I have started braiding at night and wearing buns, so will see how that works but I do miss my twists.
Nadia Real Ala T Thank you. I do get bored with my styles so am braiding and bunning at the moment and have trimmed my ends. I do miss my twists though so may try again and keep my ends moisturised.
I have low porosity hair what do you have ? Can I still follow your regime? X
Do you have any tips on detangling the crown of the head. My hair is the thickest at the crown and sides and it gets extremely tangled and matted. Any suggestions for a technique for this? Thanks!
Use ur oil and keep your roots stretched. 😌
Could you do a video showing how much hair you shed in a month?
That's not a bad idea!!!! Thanks gurl for the idea!
I love your hair 😍
I just did a mini chop after a really bad shedding phase. My hair seems so much healthier now & im just trying to make sure I keep it that way while I get my length back. Thinking about completely getting rid of my tools for a while (I don’t shed as much anymore but I’m sure without tools I can see a lot less), & maybe trying twist for a while. Do you wash your hair while they’re in the twist?
how did you get your hair so thick!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finger de tangle also, whenever I use a comb or brush on my hair I think I have more hair loss than if I just use my fingers.
Yes, ma'am I finger detangle my hair the same way 😊 ❤️
She's so patiemt... if she has 40 inches I probably have 30 and this hair be trying me!! Mine isn't quite this thick but thick but a little tighter hair pattern. I get impatient so my hair growth has halted. Working on it😎
Twisting to the gods!!! 😍 🍃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️
You're so awesome. Beautiful soul. Keep it up.
Damn. How did I get here?? #Thankful ❤️
im so lazy i put my hair in 4 large twists abd put a wrap or hat on lol
Where did you buy your spray bottle I’ve been looking all over for a spray bottle like yours but I can’t find it can you please tell me where you buy your spray bottle thank you from Sabrina A Jones
Sally's beauty supply 😁
do you trim your hair?
I love your hair!!!
Love your hair, do you wash your hair while in twist?
Thanks for this tutorial im just starting to learn about finger detangle
What kind of marshmallow root? Liquid extract? Powder?
Your hair is beautiful. Please how long have you been growing it sis? Stay bless.
Great video thsnks
I just ask myself how she finds bobby pins in all that hair, I cave less voluminous hair than her and I struggle with that ahah
Now that your hair is past your reach, you might get better leverage while twisting if you put your hair behind your shoulder/back. Or maybe loop it around your arm (loosely of course).
Gurrrl! That's a good idea!!!!!!! Thanks I'mma have to try that
Does the aloe juice ever get stuck in the tube? Lol mine does.
What’s your diet like? Are you vegan ?
I've been looking for your video with the vinegar shampoo spray 👀
She has a wash day video that's where the spray is mentioned but it's not really elaborated on but I read in the comments it's 2 parts water 1 part acv and 1 part aloe vera juice. I used that recipe and worked really really well it's been abt a week and a half and by now my scalp would have a lil bit of buildup by now but so far there's none
areolasbebig Thank you! 👍🏾 I will definitely check it out.
How long do you keep your twists in? Btw you and your hair is gorgeous no homo😘
what do you use on your skin?
Are your ancestors from Ghana? U look like my older sister.
Yes mam!😙😃
Thank you for sharing!👑❤🙏🏽💯🇺🇸
Not sure if you’ve mentioned this before. How many twist do you usually have in your hair?
Why do you put flaxseed on the ends of your hair? 🥰
Yayyyyyy! 😁😁😁😘😘😘
How often do you detangle your hair before wash day
Could you share your recipe w/ measurements for your aloe spray!
😳😳😳😳😍😍😍🥰🧡🧡🧡📌
Kimberley Shanks-Duff I think she said 1:1 in her wash day.
