For the past year and a half my protective style has been two strand twists and headwraps and my hair has grown so much and is so full and dense! I've saved my edges, hair and pocket doing this. I go to my local markets and buy loads of different coloured/ patterned scarves for super cheap. Wayyy cheaper than buying hair extensions and paying someone to install the style every couple of months. Similar to wigs I can just whip it off at the end of the day and tend to my hair. Plus my whole look/ aesthetic has changed and I'm way more confident with my appearance. I don't feel the need to have the coiliest twist out or fluffiest braid out to feel confident. I take comfort in knowing that my hair is moisturized and protected without compromising my self image. Nubian queening it 2k19💁✌
MizzFaithy1 I wish I had your confidence I went to school with a headwrap and I kept hearing people talking or laughing about it. I gave in and went back to my usual hairstyle
I’ve been covering my chunky twist using head wraps for 3 months straight now. I’ve also been consistent with washing & retwisting every week for the past 6 months. My hair is growing like a weed. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful hair care regime.
This reminds me of an elderly lady who had long hair. I never knew it until one of her braids was showing out of her scarf. All she did was braid her own hair and wear a regular scarf over it. She didn't even use what we call headwrap.. just a plain ole scarf. I never saw her without a scarf on.
Yes that was what I was called when I wore what I call a partial head wrap. I had a scarf with fringes and I wrapped it around and around my head to form a wide headband leaving a little bit of a puffball or here out in the center Crown area. Got the Erykah Badu comment at work but got really nice comments out and about at the grocery store and as I ran my errands after work. Even from a guy.
Love the shimmies 😂 when I first went natural (1 year and a half ago) a few months in I decided that my #1 style would be to tuck my hair under a head wrap/scarf , I wore this style in a low bun (covered w/ scarf) for a year. It was convenient af, my bosses didn’t care and it kept nosy people out of my hair 😂 My hair grew so much in that year ! A little Over 6” (currently waist length). My hair underneath were in Felicia braids 😂 I kept it clean and conditioned , even tried chebe. Anyways now that I’ve been wearing my hair out more often my growth has been slower (probably breakage)so I returned back to my low bun turban . You and another CZcamsr talked about using rollers for your ends, only she does it just over night (but still has seen growth). I recently incorporated this method using satin rollers and my scarf style. I think you both are on to something . Especially with what you said about your hair being entrapped in heat and having tucked ends. During my weave phase I got a lot of hair growth despite not taking care of my natural hair and I attest it to those same reasons.
As you know, black women traditionally what wear hats to church and not necessarily because of their religious belief but it's just how we dress. So I somehow think that people, particularly the black people who mess with me, think that any kind of head covering is inappropriate for work and should be reserved for church or used only if your religion calls for it on a daily basis. To me it's the same as a Caucasian person wearing a hair ornament or something of that nature. Ornaments or a way of dressing up your hair or your head and that's how I see the head covers. Then you put on some bad earrings that sets it off just perfectly!
Omg I hadn't seen any natural hair youtubers doing this so I thought my friend and I were the only ones really doing this, glad to find someone like you on yt
I love ❤️ head wrapping. It is an alternative way to look stylish while giving your natural hair protection from the elements. Also, proper use of hair products and tools aids in the protection of the hair. Thanks for sharing! ⭐️✨
Love. I have been wearing headwraps and twists since November. I recently did a wash n go. Since November I have only had my hair out maybe 4 times. Been sticking with consistent wash routine. Edges are so long. Less breakage. I've had many women at my job have been interested in the headwraps and wearing their hair in its natural state since I started and showcasing the beauty of natural hair.
Why not try it with just the end papers (or gift tissue, or fabric strips) like old school paper bag curls? It would be so much lighter, less bulky, and you'd still get the protection and curls at the end.
I had to grab a glass of lemonade and sit down for a minute. I was exhausted watching you do this. Lol When it comes to the health of our hair and retaining length, time and effort is required. I've taken an extended break from buns and kept moisturized twists in. My hair has definitely benefited. Thank you for the tips and tricks. You wouldn't happen to remember where you purchased that elastic satin bonnet would you? It's quite large and would prove to be quite useful.
This reminds me when I was young my mom used to braid my hair for 2 weeks at a time and wrap the last 2 inches or so in barrettes or beads, I never had a problem with my ends back then. I'ma try this
Indigenous Strandz thank you soooo much. Could you use examples of African print (or multicoloured) scarves aswell as solid colour scarves in the video please.
Your videos are most helpful with real-world tips for sustainable hair growth without all the hyped up products...more technique - love and care, less hype. Please do a video on moisturization, hydration, sealing and your "barely locked" method. Thanks.
I’m wrapping my hair now for growth. May do it during the summer o protect from heat. I get silk scarves form thrift or fabric store. Very beautiful, colorful, and complements any outfit I wear. Yes I’m a professional women with tats that are exposed. No issues here😊
I cut my hair so it is really short and all I ever do is keep it in twists and wear wigs and scarfs. And braids. My wigs resemble my 4c textured hair so nobody knows nothing at school mwahahahaha. But yeah hopefully my hair is just doing is thang and growing
That routine sounds like you’re on your way to waist length. I have long hair and I tell people all the time there is not magical product. Low manipulation is the key. As long as you’re keeping your hair moisturized and your scalp clean, you don’t have to do anything to it.
From South Africa and I have been wearing headscarfs religiously. I'm also a lazy natural and I'm pretty good at headwrapping so it works well for me-stretched my hair is almost passed my shoulder blades. So I cleanse, moisterise, twists/braid and only when I go out I do a a formal headwear, during the normal day at home (i worked from home) I wear a satin or thin scarf around my hair. Tip: never make the scarf too tight - depending on the style you wrap-it may pull your hair
I wish I could wear anything on my head. Loose or tight, as soon as I put anything around my head I get a migraine. I can’t wear hats, headbands nothing 😫😫.
I used to have headaches too especially when i wrapped my head with a satin scarf at night, but when I persisted my head got used to it and I don't have migraines anymore.
Soon as I saw the title of this video I just had this strong need/call to start wrapping my head again. Found your channel last month or so &while I had started to wrap my hair for spiritual reasons. Just recently I had a thought that said you need go back to wrapping your hair hair. Here you go dropping this video. It’s oddly that I had this strong calling/need to restart wrapping my hair in public no matter what.whenever. I’ll go to fabric store buy lightweight fabric & sew some more headwrap . Since most of headwrap have that I made myself are from heavy fabric.
Honestly everything happens for reason... Follow that calling sis because those 6 months i wore my hair wrapped i went through a big spiritual journey... Was doing alot of yoga, mesitating putting crystals n my bra, the whole 9 lol we dont realize how getting in touch with OUR culture and grazing the top of what our ancestors did really opens your eye( the 3rd one)
Yes I agree, everything does happen for one reason or another. No, no I do not plan on ignoring that calling. Obviously I’m very loudly being called to wrap my hair for;A}spiritual improvements OR B}it’s method that’ll help to ultimately aim of thigh length.Natural@20/21
I wear head warps in stead of wigs and weaves. I tend to just wear a bonnet before I wear a wrap. I thank you for sharing this, I must ask is this heavy?
Great tip about the perm rodded ends! I've been wearing my hair wrapped for YEARRRSSS...(over 11... I think it's been 13 now 🤔) it's wrapped right now & I'm at work. It's part of my personality now! I feel most comfortable with my head wrapped & I never neglect it. I don't twist... Just section, finger detangle, then stretch with soft scrunchies going down the length. Really considering the rods on the ends now though, thank you!
In one of your other videos you said that when you first started wearing your hair like this, you had to “fake it ‘till you made it.” Please could you show us shorter lengthed followers what you did and how you maintained your hair? Maybe you could use the post-partum twist to demonstrate how you added hair?
Indigenous Strandz I look forward to it! I got a nubby twist from my large post partum shedding area that is too big to blend (It’s gonna be “faked” for a long time, lol).
Hi Indigenous I am soooooo very impressed with your hair, it's truly amazing. Before I knew about this twists challenge, I decided to do it myself. I commenced it in May and haven't used a comb since then. Keep up the good work x
Thank you for the tutorial. I loooooove head wrapping ❤️❤️❤️Do you keep your head wrapped at home also? Or you wrap it when going out? You mentioned going to the gym. How do you care for your hair after a sweaty session? Do you exercise with your head wrapped as on the video?
This is probably the tenth time I’ve heard someone mention these end papers.... I’m going to go get some now finally lmao I gotta get more creative with my headwraps too, but summertime is coming I’m just trying to throw in my Havana twists and go! 😫😂👏🏾
I like to wear my hair in twist just to leave it alone.. I'll try the perm rod suggestion for my ends bc they get dry quick but I can wear my hair wrapped to work😩
Try hanging bantu knot with castor oil, shea butter, or flaxseed gel( it works for me but makes hair dry. So I don't use but I like it) Hope this helps.
Indigenous Strandz 4-5 inches away from 40 inches or 4-5 inches away from knee length???? Either way 😮 Amazing!!!!!! I can’t wait to see you get there!!
I love head wraps for winter when it is bitterly cold outside. But it gets very hot here in the summer so I wear them very rarely in the summertime and use very light material and no more than two layers of scarves.
I’m always so in awe of how thick your hair is, my hair is thick, but It sheds like crazy at times and I know it could be thicker. Could you do a video on decreasing shedding/ hair fall.
I’m sorry if you spoke on this already but do you ever do protein treatments? If not, what do you think has contributed to retaining the strength of your strands? I’ve always assumed that over time the ends get withered and thin the older it is. Resulting in split ends and sometimes excessive amounts of fairy knots.
I watched all of her videos( so should you) and I have never heard her mention protein treatments. She may have the simplest hair regimen of anyone I’ve seen on YT, as well as the most economical.
I wore my hair in twists for months last year, and I've been wearing my hair covered for spiritual reasons pretty much every day for 2 years now. Maybe its the fabric of the covers (linen or cotton mostly), but i didn't see any progress in growth, i wore my twists in a small bun (my hair is fine and short anyway), and I mostly did a bun style wrap. or maybe its just my lack of a moisturizing routine...either way, i stopped doing twists because i caught myself retwisting all the time and tearing out more hair that way. I tried plaits and bigger twists, even just plain old buns.
Covered my hair for a similar reason and I saw growth maybe my method might be something for you to consider... Before wrapping my hair was just past my shoulders but not quite armpit length. My hair is now bra strap length. - I do not wear my hair in buns all the time to reduce the stress that, thay style can cause. I also make sure I keep my hair moisturized and I do not wrap my hair too tight. - I twist my hair into 8 sections - I wrap my hair with a satin scarf without putting it into a clip... so I tilt my head forward and take the twists on the right side and gently place and pat them on the left side and vice versa. Then I quickly wrap my hair while my head is tilted so it doesn't fall out of place lol. - With my head still tilted I place a "Volumizing Scrunchie" on top Normally placed at the back to mimic low bun -Cover it with a satin wig cap to keep it all in place - And thennnnn I use a head wrap usually black cotton material but I'll use a colorful one from time to time. May sound like work but it takes no more than 5 min. All the best with whatever you decide is best for you 😊 *For anyone else reading this I am tatted and I work for the govt. It's definitely possible in some states and countries to be covered and not discriminated against.
@@amandathomas-chughtai6017 Sounds doable, I think the trick is probably the satin scarves you use under the actual wrap. And the moisture! I'm REALLY SUPER BAD at sticking to a moisturizing routine. I've been natural for 8 years, and my hair has stayed the same short length or even gotten shorter in that amount of time. The only time I saw growth was during pregnancy, but it quickly went away after. I love @IndigenousStrandz because her products are really affordable and her routine seems simple enough, but it still takes a lot of dedication and its too much for me, i love seeing someone else succeed at long healthy hair.
You are so pretty!❤️ currently I’m at bra strap length and I’m looking to grow out my hair. Thanks for this, I will totally incooperate more satin scarfs and the two strand twists.
Thanks for sharing but it has to be another way to retain length without wearing all the perm rods at the ends an then a head wrap, now I do were my head wrap everyday with a silk scarf under it but for some reason I’m just not retaining the length 💁🏽♀️my hair grows but my end sometimes acts an sounds like your eating an apple, I’d just cut 4inch off an I don’t want to have to do that again I got past Brah strap but I didn’t like how my ends were looking or sounding I haven’t used any heating tools for more the a few yrs now so I just don’t understand what’s going on with my ends but to we’re all the rods to retain is way to much for me any other suggestions please 🙋🏽♀️
Yea it's sad that in 2019 black women still are looked down upon and is forced to conform for a paycheck... Gurl I'll b the wrong one in corporate world... Im busting in those doors like "Hey bitches yall didn't know yall hired a queen? Well surprise!" 😂😂 I pray one day my daughter can become whoever she wants and still carry both cultures proudly.
On the one hand, I do agree. I can't either...thus, this is why this won't be my job forever. I love self expression and I hate jobs/careers that hinder my greatness, PERIOD!
I don't understand why corporate women wouldn't be ae to wear headwraps. Wouldn't women from other cultures (ex. Muslims) be able to cover their hair and work in the corporate world?
I think it would be the same way (if that's what you want to do), only shorter; just tweak what she does to your lifestyle, and what your hair likes; that's what I do.
It is. I have locs and while I don't wear them eeeeeeeeveryday..I do wear often in pineapple method and have witnessed hair growth/length retention! Love it!
Yes. I put castor oil under it... The flax for me freeze my ends to prevent thwm from breaking.. I dont put it in the rest of my hair or loose hair on the ends of my twist
Love your videos, I really learn a lot from you young ladies. Question - clarification on wearing headwraps. I have twists, my hair is BBL, I want to grow out longer, plus I have Carpal Tunnel, and Fibromyalgia.So I'm looking for other protective styles other than wigs. I can wear my wraps during the day, at night just unwrap the headwrap, and do my satin scarf as usual ? I want to practice headwraps for 3-6months. And yes I use perm rods or kiddie barrettes on my ends. Can I wear the headwraps DAILY ? I already have a hair regimen established. Thanks
Beautiful 🤗🤗🤗 what books did/do you read that enlightened you to become passionate and to help you understand true definition of taking care of our hair soul mind and body... I’d like to purchase 🥰🥰🥰
So you say you leave it in for a week straight, but do you take it off in the middle of the week to moisturize?? Or do you already moisturize enough so you don’t have to do that?? Because I want to do what you did, but I would leave mine on all day everyday and of course take it down on wash days let’s it breath and wrap it back up for the next week. Is the sufficient enough??
Oh yea gurl i only wear it when i go out when im at home its off and i wear my house scarf... Yes that's a perfect plan u have! If u at home just take it off... That's what i do, i leave in my perm rods though
Indigenous Strandz perfect, thank you so much I appreciate your help. Sense my is still short and the job I have doesn’t allow me to wear head wraps should I just find something that will cover my little bun?? Such as those wraps that Indian people wear on their buns? Like the ones the children wear? I don’t know if this makes sense or anything I just need some recommendations just for now!
Your hair grew a lot. I remember in your other channel, you use to add a little extension to make your bun larger, you did a really good job growing it out
Indigenous Strandz if you still have them on file, people would love to see some of your older videos to see your progress from then to now, I was subscribed to your other channel, I noticed I haven’t seen you on CZcams for a while, I typed your other username in, and there you were, Am so glad I found you, congratulations on your marriage, your daughter is beautiful
HEEEEYYY INNz! Tribal Shake😜PLEASE QUEENS DO NOT PUT UNDILUTED ESSENTIAL OILS ON YOUR SCALP. ALWAYS! ALWAYS! DILUTE IT WITH CARRIER OILS( olive oil, avocado oil, grapeseeed oil, etc.) I love the now brand. Come on lNNz! We need a link to black bonnet. I am a lazzzy natural. Help a sista out! Lol. Your head wrap was like them badass kids in store, your head wrap WON'T act R8 fa hell. 😂 Damn it!!!!! Always gotta act up in public. You know I am on camera. Hahaha!!!!!!! Later Innz✌
Definitely watch her earlier videos. I luv em. I believe sometimes she does a section at a time for her retwists every so often (it's a lot of hair so don't blame her). Plus if I remember correctly she washes her hair every 3 weeks to a month, or really whenever she feels the need to. Everybody's different, so above all else listen to what your hair wants and needs.
How often did you retwist them? I sent an email because I was confused a bit on some parts of the video What did you moisturize your twist with? (not the ends)
My hair is in an afro right now. I don't like wearing an afro too much because I have to comb it out each day I wear it. My hair is healthy and I don't want a setback. ♥️
Try large twist or large bantu knots at night. When you where your fro. Helps me after I where my hair out because knots, tangles, and ssk are fa Real! Lol
I wear my Afro everyday I don't use any hair tools I only use my fingers to fluff it in the day and bobby pins to shape my part.. and then I don't sleep on it tangled and dry.. I add moisture at night and I use my hands to organize, retwist and smooth gently. I wear twist out everyday basically. I make sure I'm very thorough to remove shedding but when my hair was shorter I used to comb every day but with this routine I've noticed no noticeable breakage just noticeable fullness sprouting all over starting from the roots not being detangled with tools has saved so many strands. It adds up
For the past year and a half my protective style has been two strand twists and headwraps and my hair has grown so much and is so full and dense!
I've saved my edges, hair and pocket doing this. I go to my local markets and buy loads of different coloured/ patterned scarves for super cheap. Wayyy cheaper than buying hair extensions and paying someone to install the style every couple of months. Similar to wigs I can just whip it off at the end of the day and tend to my hair. Plus my whole look/ aesthetic has changed and I'm way more confident with my appearance. I don't feel the need to have the coiliest twist out or fluffiest braid out to feel confident.
I take comfort in knowing that my hair is moisturized and protected without compromising my self image.

Yasssss sis! That makes me sooo happy hearing that! We must take back our queendom!!!!
MizzFaithy1 I wish I had your confidence I went to school with a headwrap and I kept hearing people talking or laughing about it. I gave in and went back to my usual hairstyle
How often do you get the twist redone
@@DD-po2hh that's awful that people would laugh. Just ignore them, you'll be having the last laugh with your long healthy hair :)
Beautiful!
Your methods are unconventional, and that's why your length retention is unconventionally EXCEPTIONAL. Thanks for sharing!!
Yes! Unconventional act yields unconventional results in whatever one does.
200% Right!!
I Love it!
Unconventional is the perfect way to describe an Aquarius
Your natural hair is as long as my synthetic Marley twist 😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾

You mentioned going to the gym. How do you care for your hair after a sweaty session? Do you exercise with your head wrapped as on the video?
This is probably the tenth time I’ve heard someone mention these end papers.... I’m going to go get some now finally lmao
I gotta get more creative with my headwraps too, but summertime is coming I’m just trying to throw in my Havana twists and go! 😫😂👏🏾
I love headwraps but I always get a headache from the heat no matter how loose I tie it. Really wish I could wrap my hair.
You are so beautiful to me, I mean a natural!
Thank you😍😍😘
Instead of perm rods I think I’ll do a bead or two, it’ll be less bulky. Ima try this 💕
Best detailed head wrap tutorial ever
Your hair is beautiful. My hair has become white and so thin and weak. This may help me retain moisture. I may try this.
Beautiful hair❤ love that high clown 👑thank u for showing always wanted to know how to achieve that look🤗
Same :3
I like to wear my hair in twist just to leave it alone.. I'll try the perm rod suggestion for my ends bc they get dry quick but I can wear my hair wrapped to work😩
Try hanging bantu knot with castor oil, shea butter, or flaxseed gel( it works for me but makes hair dry. So I don't use but I like it) Hope this helps.
What do you do for your skin? It's so soft and glowy looking.
You’re at 40 inches already??!!! 😮 Omg knee length Afro hair, here she comes!!!!
Im like 4 inches maybe 5 away
Indigenous Strandz 4-5 inches away from 40 inches or 4-5 inches away from knee length???? Either way 😮 Amazing!!!!!! I can’t wait to see you get there!!
@@IndigenousStrandz11 were you natural ever since you were a child?
ThisOwl 4-5 inches from 40 inches I think
I love head wraps for winter when it is bitterly cold outside. But it gets very hot here in the summer so I wear them very rarely in the summertime and use very light material and no more than two layers of scarves.
Jesus is the ONLY God.
We must know him to enter heaven.
My eyes and ears are grateful we ran across your channel!
Is your hair heavy with the head wrap?
No not unless i try to look up at the sky😂😂😂
@@IndigenousStrandz11 LMAO...thats a good one & true🤣 I'm sure! Can picture it now 🤣🤣
LOG method right?
Liquid, oil and gel
Lmao!!!!!! Gurl u done came up with the perfect acronym!!!!
@@IndigenousStrandz11, hey geechie fam. Where did you get your bonnet?
@@aquafina6544 HEY fam!! I bought it from my local beauty supply
@@IndigenousStrandz11 , i cant wait to be able to link with you gyal...lol soon come.
I’m always so in awe of how thick your hair is, my hair is thick, but It sheds like crazy at times and I know it could be thicker. Could you do a video on decreasing shedding/ hair fall.
aloe gel works nicely for edges
I’m sorry if you spoke on this already but do you ever do protein treatments? If not, what do you think has contributed to retaining the strength of your strands? I’ve always assumed that over time the ends get withered and thin the older it is. Resulting in split ends and sometimes excessive amounts of fairy knots.
I really think her no commercial or low commercial product usage contributes along with genetics and proper hair care.
I watched all of her videos( so should you) and I have never heard her mention protein treatments. She may have the simplest hair regimen of anyone I’ve seen on YT, as well as the most economical.
lionessawaking42412 its the aloe Vera juice it contain some protein which helps strengthen your hair
I wore my hair in twists for months last year, and I've been wearing my hair covered for spiritual reasons pretty much every day for 2 years now. Maybe its the fabric of the covers (linen or cotton mostly), but i didn't see any progress in growth, i wore my twists in a small bun (my hair is fine and short anyway), and I mostly did a bun style wrap. or maybe its just my lack of a moisturizing routine...either way, i stopped doing twists because i caught myself retwisting all the time and tearing out more hair that way. I tried plaits and bigger twists, even just plain old buns.
Covered my hair for a similar reason and I saw growth maybe my method might be something for you to consider...
Before wrapping my hair was just past my shoulders but not quite armpit length. My hair is now bra strap length.
- I do not wear my hair in buns all the time to reduce the stress that, thay style can cause.
I also make sure I keep my hair moisturized and I do not wrap my hair too tight.
- I twist my hair into 8 sections
- I wrap my hair with a satin scarf without putting it into a clip... so I tilt my head forward and take the twists on the right side and gently place and pat them on the left side and vice versa. Then I quickly wrap my hair while my head is tilted so it doesn't fall out of place lol.
- With my head still tilted I place a "Volumizing Scrunchie" on top Normally placed at the back to mimic low bun
-Cover it with a satin wig cap to keep it all in place
- And thennnnn I use a head wrap
usually black cotton material but I'll use a colorful one from time to time.
May sound like work but it takes no more than 5 min. All the best with whatever you decide is best for you 😊
*For anyone else reading this I am tatted and I work for the govt. It's definitely possible in some states and countries to be covered and not discriminated against.
@@amandathomas-chughtai6017 Sounds doable, I think the trick is probably the satin scarves you use under the actual wrap. And the moisture! I'm REALLY SUPER BAD at sticking to a moisturizing routine. I've been natural for 8 years, and my hair has stayed the same short length or even gotten shorter in that amount of time. The only time I saw growth was during pregnancy, but it quickly went away after. I love @IndigenousStrandz because her products are really affordable and her routine seems simple enough, but it still takes a lot of dedication and its too much for me, i love seeing someone else succeed at long healthy hair.
Use silk!! Not even satin, 100% pure quality silk. You will never regret it!
Try switching up tour routine! Sometimes the hair needs something new ^^ like a different oil or dc.
Most women hair isn’t this long. I wouldn’t know how to wrap my hair with this rods. Your hair is perfect length for this styles
how to protect your ends if your hair is shorter?
Right! I'm waiting for that
You are so pretty!❤️ currently I’m at bra strap length and I’m looking to grow out my hair. Thanks for this, I will totally incooperate more satin scarfs and the two strand twists.
Thanks for sharing but it has to be another way to retain length without wearing all the perm rods at the ends an then a head wrap, now I do were my head wrap everyday with a silk scarf under it but for some reason I’m just not retaining the length 💁🏽♀️my hair grows but my end sometimes acts an sounds like your eating an apple, I’d just cut 4inch off an I don’t want to have to do that again I got past Brah strap but I didn’t like how my ends were looking or sounding I haven’t used any heating tools for more the a few yrs now so I just don’t understand what’s going on with my ends but to we’re all the rods to retain is way to much for me any other suggestions please 🙋🏽♀️
Aear2Hear I’d recommend checking out Green Beauty’s channel; she talks about moisture and protein and other issues.
I would love this but what do I do for the gym? Can’t wear a head wrap or perm rods🙁
I just have to watch this video everyday 😍
You’re lucky you can wear head wraps for so long, I work in the City, in Corporate legal, so definitely couldn’t wear them
Yea it's sad that in 2019 black women still are looked down upon and is forced to conform for a paycheck... Gurl I'll b the wrong one in corporate world... Im busting in those doors like "Hey bitches yall didn't know yall hired a queen? Well surprise!" 😂😂 I pray one day my daughter can become whoever she wants and still carry both cultures proudly.
On the one hand, I do agree. I can't either...thus, this is why this won't be my job forever. I love self expression and I hate jobs/careers that hinder my greatness, PERIOD!
I don't understand why corporate women wouldn't be ae to wear headwraps. Wouldn't women from other cultures (ex. Muslims) be able to cover their hair and work in the corporate world?
They probably could Jem TS, I’m not religious, I wear a suit to work and have never gone to work with my head covered
If you're in cali they just passed a law against discrimination because of our natural hair; I hope wraps/coverings are included.
This head wrap regimen would be perfect for the winter
Your hair is SO...
I've never seen...😯
Love the headwrap. That is a good idea with the permrods. Do you eat healthy also for hair health. Fruits, veggies, protein, and lots of water.
I have noticed a difference by eating all those things and drinking water. Staying ahead of the dryness.
@@everythingmckate9905 👍🏃♀️
What advice do you give to someone with medium (shoulder length) hair for retaining length ?
I think it would be the same way (if that's what you want to do), only shorter; just tweak what she does to your lifestyle, and what your hair likes; that's what I do.
OMG there I was thinking I was crazy for doing twist all the time I love it cause it gives me access to my hair and scalp thanks sweetheart
As usual you have great ideas,definitely trying this
I am new to your channel. Your hair is beautiful. I love the length.
I think this may be good for locs too - minus the perm rods of course. Thanks for the idea!
It is. I have locs and while I don't wear them eeeeeeeeveryday..I do wear often in pineapple method and have witnessed hair growth/length retention! Love it!
Does the flaxseed gel make your hair hard ? It made mine dry and hard/crunchy.
Yes. I put castor oil under it... The flax for me freeze my ends to prevent thwm from breaking.. I dont put it in the rest of my hair or loose hair on the ends of my twist
Indigenous Strandz thank you
Amazing menthe 😍😍. Thank you for sharing🙏
Do you just use the oil. Do you do the Loc or Lco method? I forgot...😏
No i dont follow that... I dont use creams on my hair i just do oil and the flaxseed gel and aloe juice when i retwist
When will you be doing your henna brow and skin video? After say a two week period would you take out the perm rods moisturise and put them back in?
Love your videos, I really learn a lot from you young ladies.
Question - clarification on wearing headwraps. I have twists, my hair is BBL, I want to grow out longer, plus I have Carpal Tunnel, and Fibromyalgia.So I'm looking for other protective styles other than wigs.
I can wear my wraps during the day, at night just unwrap the headwrap, and do my satin scarf as usual ?
I want to practice headwraps for 3-6months.
And yes I use perm rods or kiddie barrettes on my ends.
Can I wear the headwraps DAILY ?
I already have a hair regimen established.
Thanks
Love your wrap!!! Do you have trouble getting in and out of your car? What about sitting in the car. Is it uncomfortable?
This was very informative! Do you think I could get some retention wearing twists with perm rods underneath a satin slap cap?💜
Yup!! Thank you!
Just subcribed
Beautiful 🤗🤗🤗 what books did/do you read that enlightened you to become passionate and to help you understand true definition of taking care of our hair soul mind and body... I’d like to purchase 🥰🥰🥰
So you say you leave it in for a week straight, but do you take it off in the middle of the week to moisturize?? Or do you already moisturize enough so you don’t have to do that?? Because I want to do what you did, but I would leave mine on all day everyday and of course take it down on wash days let’s it breath and wrap it back up for the next week. Is the sufficient enough??
Oh yea gurl i only wear it when i go out when im at home its off and i wear my house scarf... Yes that's a perfect plan u have! If u at home just take it off... That's what i do, i leave in my perm rods though
Indigenous Strandz perfect, thank you so much I appreciate your help. Sense my is still short and the job I have doesn’t allow me to wear head wraps should I just find something that will cover my little bun?? Such as those wraps that Indian people wear on their buns? Like the ones the children wear? I don’t know if this makes sense or anything I just need some recommendations just for now!
I put my ends in Bantu knots.
Your hair grew a lot. I remember in your other channel, you use to add a little extension to make your bun larger, you did a really good job growing it out
What other channel? It'll be cool see in her growth the past etc.
Lol i deleted it lol
Indigenous Strandz if you still have them on file, people would love to see some of your older videos to see your progress from then to now, I was subscribed to your other channel, I noticed I haven’t seen you on CZcams for a while, I typed your other username in, and there you were, Am so glad I found you, congratulations on your marriage, your daughter is beautiful
@@jackier301 how old was the channel? You knew her pre thigh length? Crazy. Was it all the same?
Thank you! I didnt save any😒 sometimes u just want to delete a small section of ur life.... But it alllllways comes back lmao
What if you don't have perm rods. How else can you tuck away your ends before doing the headwrap???
HEEEEYYY INNz! Tribal Shake😜PLEASE QUEENS DO NOT PUT UNDILUTED ESSENTIAL OILS ON YOUR SCALP. ALWAYS! ALWAYS! DILUTE IT WITH CARRIER OILS( olive oil, avocado oil, grapeseeed oil, etc.) I love the now brand. Come on lNNz! We need a link to black bonnet. I am a lazzzy natural. Help a sista out! Lol. Your head wrap was like them badass kids in store, your head wrap WON'T act R8 fa hell. 😂 Damn it!!!!! Always gotta act up in public. You know I am on camera. Hahaha!!!!!!! Later Innz✌
Where do you purchase your head wraps from ?
She has a video of her shopping at thrift stores for her headwraps. The most inexpensive especially since you could even find real silk sometimes.
Thanks for sharing and thank God I Don't want or need 40 in of hair. Lol
How long do you usually keep each set of twists in? Like how far apart are your wash days? Do you ever retwist your whole head without washing first?
Definitely watch her earlier videos. I luv em. I believe sometimes she does a section at a time for her retwists every so often (it's a lot of hair so don't blame her). Plus if I remember correctly she washes her hair every 3 weeks to a month, or really whenever she feels the need to. Everybody's different, so above all else listen to what your hair wants and needs.
@@wapaa26 Okay thanks.
New subbie. I love your vibes💕
Isn't it heavy & hot?
U are beautiful!!!!!! I mean Natural!!!!!!!!!!
Hello... Did you get any damage or thinning to your edges when using Two-strand twists or wearing headwraps long-term?
How often did you retwist them? I sent an email because I was confused a bit on some parts of the video
What did you moisturize your twist with? (not the ends)
do you have a searchable term for that hair sock thing? I just tried "elastic hair sock" and got those sock bun things.
It's a elastic hair bonnet
My hair is in an afro right now. I don't like wearing an afro too much because I have to comb it out each day I wear it. My hair is healthy and I don't want a setback. ♥️
Wear twist
Yea gurl i agree u need to protect those ends before that set back happens
Try large twist or large bantu knots at night. When you where your fro. Helps me after I where my hair out because knots, tangles, and ssk are fa Real! Lol
Lol I'm anxious now just put my baby back up in a bun
I wear my Afro everyday I don't use any hair tools I only use my fingers to fluff it in the day and bobby pins to shape my part.. and then I don't sleep on it tangled and dry.. I add moisture at night and I use my hands to organize, retwist and smooth gently. I wear twist out everyday basically. I make sure I'm very thorough to remove shedding but when my hair was shorter I used to comb every day but with this routine I've noticed no noticeable breakage just noticeable fullness sprouting all over starting from the roots not being detangled with tools has saved so many strands.
It adds up
Love your hair! Who’s veve is that tattooed on your arm? Is that Legba’s?
You got crooooooooop!!! Beautiful
where did you get the bonnet?
I need your head wraps! I've ruined so many pillows and cases. Where do you find them?
I am going to try this with flexirods instead of perm rods.
