Zekerah xox - Jak na to + styl
That growth was real
hahahah yesss
I'll ask the same question
zekerah I washed my hair and little bits of hair came out. I then put this conditioner and washed it leaving bits of conditioner still in it to brush it. To finish it I put some moisturiser foam and normal moisturiser to make it soft and shiny. Am I doing it right?
@@zekerahx how long did it take to grow your hair to the length
@@iluv2pac031 here in 2021 did it work for u,
Really can't wait for my hair to grow long asf so I can prove people wrong about black people hair
yaaasss girl!! youll get there!!
Trusss
Like “Shut..ya mouths. That’s not the case” 🤣. Thanks for the vid Zekerah. Normally I can’t get through a talking vid of this length but you got it perfect 👌🏾. Blessings sis x
Heyits Chanelle / Right me too! I want my own bundles, not someone else’s!
This thread!! I even taught myself via CZcams that wow it's possible for black women to grow the hair waist! Damn. But now im glad majority of the black sisters be narural. It's beautiful to see
ITS SOOOOO LONG 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾

1. Moisturize
2. Comb frequently..starting from the tip upwards.
3. Detangle hair
4. Reduce heat application
5. Protective hairstyles
6. Low manipulation hairstyles.
7. Learn what your hair is responsive to.
8. Deep conditioning
It's "not" comb frequently
What is low manipulation hairstyles?
Sonia Okojie I’m always having braids so it’s hard for me to comb it
@@nisakraner3092 Hairstyles that don't stress your hair.......like tight hairstyles do.
Very thanks baby❤️❤️❤️
It's so strange now thinking at the fact I used to believe black people hair couldn't grow long unless they had a non-white, biological parent. It's insane that way of thinking. Nice hair btw.
Same
Panda Land same
Same
Raven Cloud I still believe it can’t Becuz I’ve tried every single thing and my shit won’t grown
@@cramirez4863 thats you.
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous I can't wait til my hair is this long🌻🎵💎
Abia-kyarna did your hair grow yet? It’s been 10 months I’m so excited to start my hair growth journey. I need thicker hair, not just longer hair
MzK4Lyfe I’m not her but I started my natural hair journey about one year ago and I’m in my second year now and it’s going pretty well
Glitter girl 14000 how much had it grown and what hair type do u have? x
Beautifulllllllll both hair and face
Aw Thank you!! Xxx
Zekerah Johnson I am on a journey of growing my hair back

Rachel curlylocks thats true both 💇 and face in fact

Get a spray bottle put some water leave in conditioner and coconut oil mix and spray on your hair for amazing moisture my hair is just like hers but shorter its down to my shoulders but i have a lot of it so its hard to tame
LaPrecious Harris same. My hair is a bit like yours but mine is starting to break but I’m going to follow her routine and hopefully it will end up like hers
LaPrecious Harris do you put all of them in a bottle
Yes please tell all my spray bottles get jammed when I put oil in the mixture
How many times a day do you do it?
@@nicolehumble8526 coconut oil get hard when it gets cold so try another oil that doesn't harden like jojoba oil, or almond oil, or black castor oil
First off YOU’RE BREATHTAKING..
Secondly, beautiful hair..
Third, the accent 👌🏿
Dope all around..
Thank you!! youre too kind xD
😁
But with the water thing with 4c hair it shrinks as soon as water touches
Bob the builder oh the struggle of shrinkage 😭
Spritz water then Braid or Twist to keep it stretched
DDG’s Lambo face yeahhh😭🙄
Ikr
416.shayy you just twist or plait it after and it stays stretched
Your hair line is everything!👏👏👏
Joi German right!! imagine her hair in a ponytail, the way her hairline would swoop up into it ahhh 😍😍😍
Edges sis edges AAAGH 🥰😍👌
Joi German i thought I was the only one being a weirdo and obsessing over her hairline 😂😂 i love it too, it’s great !!!!!
So refreshing to see a british natural youtuber! Btw idk if this is just me but you slightly resemble KaiserCoby. You both have beautiful face structures
Olive Appiah I was thinking the same thing
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙋🏾 hahahah thank you so much 💓
Olive Appiah, You should also try Fusionofcultures. She is also a British natural CZcamsr.
UK stand up!
Are you Ghanaian
I like what you said about the myths of black women hair ... Its so sad, but I think we have bought into it at some point because it was so rare to see black women with long hair back in the 80' and 90'...I grew up in the generation praised perms and it was the thing to do...I was the perm queen, but getting rid of the " perm" was the best thing I did for myself... my hair began to grow and grow and grow and I never knew it could grow so long.. So thank you for speaking truth...
Kaykay my hair grows whether it’s straight texturised or natural it’s healthier and easier to manage at mid length, even at a bob length people ask me have I put pieces in my hair and check for tracks because I dye it jet black and that colour enhances the shine and condition of my hair, for me doesn’t matter about the length if you look after your hair and it looks good people will always question if your hair is real i find it funny how hair is worshipped
What do u see can u pls show me
Sara Newton I don’t see anything as well!
You remind me of Keke Palmer
Shanitta Thompson Yes. But much prettier imo! Like her gorgeous African cousin! 😍
She doesn't look like keke at all to me. This girl is gorgeous. I don't think keke is cute
I said this out loud after pausing at 7:22 and scrolled through the comments to find a comment saying it, lol.
That was my thought too
Damn everyone looking like Keke these days
BLACK BARBIE ✨
YESSS 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
BLACK WOMEN, I M SO PROUD OF YOU, KEEP IT NATURAL AND BURN THE WEAVE !!!!!
I LOOOVE MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTERS. And they say black girls dont have long hair.. humph.. yes we do!! Girl youre beautiful and im subscribing!

Eboni Bates

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE ON THIS VIDEO. I just wanted to let you know that I filmed a video for this hairstyle as requested - czcams.com/video/D4S0ccxW7HA/video.html

Zekerah Johnson where are u originally from
Diane l my Gambia on my mums side & St. Kitts on my dads side xx
Zekerah Johnson my hair gets smaller useing water it shrinks
Zekerah Johnson ok thanks I just wondered
Zekerah Johnson hi I have a question, I've also been natural all my life but only started my 'long hair don't care' journey two years ago and I haven't trimmed my hair the whole two years and I know I should any tips on how to do it properly??...please and thank you
I feel like she’s a “ blow dried natural “ where you use a blow dryer to retain length and it’s better for your hair bc it doesn’t shrink so no breakage
"Shame I didn't pass it" LMAO I LOVE U
hahahahah
😂😂😂😂😂😂
*sips tea*
Beautiful! & your skin is flawless 😍😍
so kind, thank you so much!
Your hair is so beautiful 😍 I've been natural my whole life too but I feel like I only learnt how to do my hair this past year

out of all the videos i found, yours is the most helpful and explicit!thank you sooooo much!!!
I only use Aunt Jackie's products, i find that better for my hair as I'm also growing out a relaxer (im 12 coming 13 in a few weeks, also ayyyy nice to see a natural British youtuber on here💖) (shout out to the natural brits💖🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧)
i’m turning 11 in november and i really wanna grow out my relaxer and leave it natural. if you’ve already grown it out, any tips?
shinyXmoon, yeah same I’m 12 and I want to go natural from my relaxed hair
BluGum Jade I’m 13 and want to grow my hair
Love your hair babe! 💋💁🏾 Please do a tutorial on this style and a full hair journey please!!!!!
KekePfan16 she said she have already done it❤️❤️she have a link on her comments ❤️
Thank you so much! I have one up now Xx
Bruh this is the most helpful hair growth video I’ve everrrr watched. Not caring for my ends and not doing styles that tuck them away is possible my problem. THANK YOU!
Nkiruka Ukaegbu I’m so glad it helped! 💕💕
I literally went through the same exact things you have. When i find people giving hair tips i cant really relate but your the first person that has gone through most of the things i have as well. Thanks for the tips im gonna really start to follow them.
Soooo just seeing that comparison inspired me so much, i paused the video after 2 minutes and IMMEJIATELY (Joanne the Scammer voice) went to moisturize these braids that I have under a protective style lol. I was like LET me get my moisture bc Lord knows I had been IGNORING it and been so lazy with it.
I have been there!! those late nights when you know your hair is begging for moisture hahah im glad this vid inspired you! your comment really made me laugh xD
I need to grow my hair
you can do it!! x
Use rice water
@@ranny3053 rice water cause alot of breakage
I've been wanting to grow my hair for the longest time and now I know what my new years resolution is thank you 😘

My name is Takarra pronounced like yours with a T lol! Your hair is beautiful. :)
“One day that will be me”
I felt that ❤️🦋.
im so happy, ive always been insecure about my 4c hair but now I found you:)
Can't believe people think blacks can't grow long hair🤔💭
So
Marie Hicks fuck you mean so?
I recently done the big chop and it was such a struggle coping with the length, but I needed to do it in a sense...
I had too much damage from texturisers (even though my hair is naturally curly🤷🏾♀️😭worst mistake ever) as well as straightening, when I was washing my hair, all I could focus on was the new growth and the damaged hair.
It bugged me sooo much looking at the 2 different textures at the time, but I'm so much happier now that I've cut all the damaged hair off because now I feel like a new girl lool, and honestly my hair is in such better condition ofc and is growing rapidlyyy than before when I would give myself lil trims.
Anyways, I loved this video you're such an inspiration, and your hairrr😍 I'm only 16 and I'm so happy that yt has helped me to manage with my natural hair!
Thank you Zekerah😭💕
Serena love
Me too I was regretting the big chop for a while but tru say it’s definitely worth it
Serena love same I recently did and I’m on a self bettering journey to make my self a better me so I cut my hair after transitioning for about 7 months
Serena love it will grow beautifully. Believe it.
I’m so happy I’ve came across. This video. Thanks for the advice I have hope now that my hair can get longer🤞🏽
i have got to say that out of all the videos ive watched so far on growing my hair, this one is the best, my hair is a lot like urs so it has helped alot, thank u
im glad you liked it, thank you x
Try protein treatments to strength your hair
Can you do a products video next please 😩😩

@@zekerahx don't take long with that produce video👌👌
you’re so pretty, like omg and i love your hair
Thank you!xx
I love that you're from the UK cause Lord knows our water is tough which causes our hair to become dry and brittle if we don't look after it. Great to have someone to relate to and great advice !
Also you are stunning!
Cut your split ends before the split ends keep breaking up through the hair shaft, it's not alot of split ends just a friendly tip and no shade attended ☺
Destiny Milan Always one...😒
GMOgottago yup and I'm glad I can be that one... 😘😊 problem ?

Super Heart thanks ☺

Thank you!
Omg my jaw literally dropped when I saw the intro, you got the LENGTH girl!!
I love your accent! She said vit- ah- men! We pronounce it vite-a- min in the U.S or at least in Houston, TX we do. We talk different in different regions of the U.S!

Thank you for the tips ❤️

Awesome! Growing long hair can be very confusing at first. I wrote a free guide for beginners called Grow Your Hair. Its free download on google play. Hope it answers the many questions that beginners have.
Gachkent thank you am gonna check it❤️❤️😘
Welcome hun..

Aw thank you so much !
I'm definitely going to use these tips. I've been trying to grow my hair for 3 years naturally and it's growing but slowly. Thanks. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Make a video on your fave products you use!
Great video girl 🙌🏾
Michellebee_xo thank you x
You should be proud of your hair journey! I love natural hair!
thank you so much!
I do agree with you about eating healthy makes your hair look better bc when I was on the green smoothie cleanse my hair was so soft and manageable. But just drinking water can do that too.
Your facial Binet structure is just gorgeous. Great video !
thank you!
You're welcome and it definitely was supposed to say bone not binet lol
haha i guessed
I can see you seeing a high end super model. You look beautiful. Thanks for all the tips. New Subby 💔❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW you're hair is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Thank you!💞
This video has given me so much motivation to grow my hair! Your hair is beautiful😍

This channel and 22nd Century Natural Woman are my two favorite channels for natural hair.
Thank you !
Can you film a wash day please or the products you use.❤️
yes!
OMG, love the way you say the word "vitamin", lovely!
Haha thank you x
Patience, moisturizer and low manipulation hairstyles are the top three that works! My hair is 13 inches! Sometimes I wear sew ins but only with lace closures because leave out is a no no for me! I like for all my hair to stay in its natural texture. Your hair is gorgeous 😊.
Oh plus I straightened my hair very little. Recently it took me almost a year to get a silk press. Lol your hair grow after when you take away the heat.
Being from Belize, I usually only see black people with short hair but seeing you made me think different .🤔☺
New subscriber! 😄 From the U.S.! 🇺🇸
yay!!
The best thing is to be patient with ur hair to learn and get use to ur hair as you take good care of it to grow.
Your advice was so helpful, my hair has grown a lot over the last 7 years but I know it could've been way better! 2018 is time for my serious hair journey, I want to grow longer healthier hair. Your hair is beautiful but also, you are so elegant and classy. Great video and of course I subscribed!
My hair used to be so long when my mum used to do it but now my hair is sooooo short
Literally 3mins in and I learned so much😭
Your the first person I've listened to that's against eco Styler! It really calms the hair down!
Thank you so much, I needed this, I have really short hair and I'm on a journey to to long, beautiful,healthy hair and I already did my big chop and I never really had confidence in my hair but I do have hope and I'm so tired of wearing weave , I just want people to come up to me and say "is that ur real hair, I love it, it's so long"❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching! You can do it girl!!💞
You are soo beautiful and thanks for the great advice xx
Joy Samantha thank you! 💓
I use to only comb/detangle my hair once a month when I’d shampoo. And the rest of the time I’d leave it in a poof and just brush my edges up lol. It go soooooo thick during that time.
I had to replay the beginning of the video. Real growth sis.😁
That flip at the beginning made my heart skip a beat!
Great tips. Did you say you blow dry your hair every time you wash it? If so, I think you said you no longer use a heat protectant. Is that true?
Also, after I blow dry my hair, it's really dry and frizzy. How do you get yours soft and moisturized without it reverting back? What products do you use right after blow drying? Thanks!
I'm on the journey to grow my hair . Thanks for the video . New subscriber to
Thank you and good luck ! X
Use rice water it helps
I️ was just talking about finding a channel to help my natural hair grow faster! I️ want to film more videos like this! You are AMAZING 😍😍 And so is your HAIR omg.
It's Lynsay Lou thank you!xx
You’re just freakin’ gorgeous 😍 great video - straight to the point xx
Thanks so much!x
I was always insecure about my short hair and my friend kept whipping her long hair in my face and it made me feel sad
Salimatah Drammeh ikr..u can do it 😃✌
Same. I hate when people are like your hair is so short. Like I already know. It’s not even that short I just have bad skrinage. But if I stretch my hair it’s like collarbone length.
Salimath Drammeh - a REAL friend would never try to make her best friend feel insecure about anything. Besides, what else is she willing to do at your expense to feel superior?
At some point in everyone's life we must evaluate and prune away some "friendships" or anyone else who isn't sincere, loving and kind to us.
I went through the sametime in primary school.
Libby Dobre, lol what?
ECO gel caused most of hair to break off, I had long hair at the front so most of is chopped off :(
Omg you’re hair is so long and you’re so gorgeous
Girl you’re so pretty omg 😩
+Andrea'sAvenue aw thank you!💓
I can´t believe it, I loved it. Zekerah, what did you do? I also want long hair like this, please help me.
