These are techniques I used to grow my hair to waistlength - they all focus on a central theme: length retention. I tend not to stress supplements for growth and longer hair simply because the crux of slow growth in our communities is length retention, as opposed to growth. In Black communities, we tend to have more of a problem with length retention than we do with growth. Unfortunately, our hair textures are exceedingly prone to breakage. Mitigating the amount of breakage we face will certainly help, with regard to length retention. The more length we retain, the longer our hair will become. Put simply, growing long natural hair can be reduced to retaining length I.e. not allowing our hair to break off.

Right ❤
Women been sharing natural hair tips before YT. You're late to the party.
Aw thank you! Comments like these keep me going :)

Yassssss
I have 4C hair...and it's a bit too short to get into a "tucking" style so I just leave it to do as it pleases. Generally this has been beneficial especially when I massage my scalp and hair with olive oil. Just a friendly addition to this video.
I'm a big fan of this channel, thanks for allowing me to take better care of my hair and to love what nature has given me. 😊
You're so pretty
+Natna Aw! Thanks! :)
+Naturally High - You really are!
Natna yes, she reminds me of beyonce! especially in the thumbnail
i love that you wear your hair out and have fun with it more since you've reached your goal length. I feel like most naturals are too used to sticking strictly with their regimen, tucking in their ends 24/7 never getting to appreciate their lengths :/ . it's good to take care of your hair and be cautious but if growing longer/ healthier hair means not seeing your hair then i don't want long hair
Thank yoooou! Well in my case, I have very breakage-prone hair so my current routine of wearing my hair out is not without its drawbacks: my hair's not really getting much longer. I think it's grown about 1-2 inches in the past 7 months or so... As soon as I start protective styling it grows like wildflowers, though! But what's the point of having long hair if you NEVER wear it out!?
:)
X
@Winter Bleu lol yaaasss girl!😆😆👍🏼👍🏼❤❤💯💯
@@NaturallyHigh hi and what protectives styles do you use? Only Twists? And what about braids? It can be a protective style?
YOU ARE SO ELOQUENT!
Aw thank you!
cr
She’s very sophisticated
Also, if you have fine hair, use henna. that also fills in the gaps (permanently) so you hair retain length a bit more easier. Fine haired naturals have the hardest time retaining length since that strand are so fine (not thin). That is what helped me.
how do you apply the henna.. I have naturally fine hair.. seems like everything causes breakage. so I wear wigs or sew ins..but this you speak of.. I must know please!
There are several ways you can mix it. I apply it after cleaning my hair and before deep conditioning. I steep green tea & slippery elm bark tea and let that cool a bit (green tea helps the dye release a bit quicker), pour the powder in a glass or plastic bowl (do not use metal tools of any kind) while whisking it with plastic fork to get the lumps out, i then add silk amino acids i got from lotioncrafter (dot) com (this is optional, i add SAA to everything, it makes my hair so soft).
You can add any oils of your choosing to help the henna rinse out easier while still getting the benefits, the slippery elm tea helps as well. I make the mixture before prepooing and washing my hair so it can sit for a bit and the dye can release.
edited to dd: I forgot to mention, i leave it on for 3-12 hours depending on the time of day/night i do it, lol. cover your head with a plastic cap (or bag) after applying it.
Thanks so much
christina hunter You're Welcome! ^_^
akilah davis Yes?
Protective styling & Finger detangling= longer hair.
is finger detangling the hait wet ok? i cant stand the task on dry hair. i feel i do worse damage dry then wet
You are SUPPOSED to detangle hair while wet, preferably with a moisturizing conditioner still in hair
love your hair so beautiful and healthy
Leverne Jones no not while wet while damp get out water pat hair dry with towel not to wet not to dry and comb but I brush
Interesting...I protective style my hair a lot...however just a couple weeks ago I started my own challenge of strictly no combs or brushes (except when parting hair) and just finger detangling...let me tell you I promise you It Looks like my hair grew OVERNIGHT. It seemed to APPEAR thicker. I was used to losing TONS of unnecessary strands in the combs (not shed, breakage), and that was minimized since stopping combs. We will see if it continues to grow thicker tho.
I'm a 57yr old American woman.
I have a few things on my bucket list that I wanted to see before my time is up one day.
1.An African-American POTUS...a female VP..and African-American women embracing their natural hair.
I am so proud.
Thanks for your tips... my hair fell out and I started hating myself. Then I prayed and i'm on a journey to repair the damage. AMEN
I nearly cried when I found your videos... I wish I had seen them when I was younger. I seriously dragged my hair through hell and lost 7 inches because of it. I'm 18 and I'm trying to grow my hair again. I used your detangling method and it worked with a really small amount of shedding (it could fit in a baby's hand)!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I hope to grow my hair as fast and healthy as yours.
Corinne Desiree
Do her tips but also take some vitamins biotin and msm
And get caster oil and sulfur products for the hair
Soo....the last few weeks I've been scrambling around CZcams trying to find your channel because CZcams deleted all my subscriptions a while back and now my hair is long enough that i want to keep it stretched as much as possible. I remembered your videos and wanted to become familiar with your processes again. I couldn't remember your channel name so I just watched natural hair videos as usual as *prayed* that you would show up in my recommendations. PRAYERS ANSWERED!!!!!
I swear everybody’s head is different. I’ve seen a huge difference when I started oiling my scalp with movit sulfur 8. It’s the best! 😋 Coconut oil makes my hair dry and brittle.
I've been natural now for 2 years, and it had grown a great deal, but watching your video had giving me more help to add to my growth thank you, your hair is beautiful...
I love your videos. You're so easy to listen to and understand. Unfortunately I can't say the same for a lot of of natural hair gurus on YT lol. It's just refreshing. Even with a lot of talking in your video (which I usually get tired of), I still enjoyed watching your video and could follow through with it easily. Good job! :)
Aw thank you! Such a sweet comment!
Naturally High You're welcome! Yea usually I don't like a lot of talking in hair tutorial videos, but for some reason I don't mind yours...even if there's a lot of talking lol. I think you have a good energy :)
DestinyC1020 lol
Thank you very much. I actually watched the entire video without skipping. I was very informed and enlightened to start back my hair growth journey.😊
Yay! Happy to hear that. Thanks for sharing. X
Absolutely fantastic tips. You forgot 1 thing.......DRINK LOTS OF WATER. lol lol, I actually am a vitamin enthusiast as well. Bamboo, Biotin, multi, vit D, Calcium, Black seed oil, Fish oil, MSM, collagen are all part of my daily intake, but like you, once I reach my goal, lots of those will stop. Because they making me broke. Anyway great tips, finger detangling is by far the best tip I need to apply, because my shedding is insane, I truly think there's breakage included with my shedding, so your right I'm setting aside my combs........BTW My protective style is minitwist, it's not really a protective style it's more so "My Forever Style"
Thanks boo. I keep my hair braided in individuals for 3 months. I did this last year and did it 3x's. By the time I took out my hair man, WOW, I had crop and everyone noticed. Before going into braids again, I'd wash and DC (i'll now add oil rinsing to my regimen) and then i'll let it air dry 50% then use the tension method for the rest. My hair is thick and full.
...and past my shoulders when before it was at my neck lol!
I def agree. I've been in braids since April and wash them twice a month and repair each braid by section whenever I have the time to detangle etc. Def helps with length retention!
That sounds like a brilliant system! I do something very similar but in twists! :)
Thanks for sharing!
When I leave my hair alone it grows wonderfully. (:
Storm Wyatt I do this to my daughters hair and get lots of growth. I leave for 3 weeks though
Finger detangling worked wonders for maintaining my hair length.
Great tips! I always need a reminder on the best care for my hair! Never thought of exercise increasing blood flow to my scalp, but makes sense!
+Ife360 TV - in China Happy to help!!! :D X
You remind me a lot of the UK tv presenter Angellica Bell.
I've been co-washing and I love it. I only use shampoo when my hair is super dirty or I have a lot of product build up. I've been trying to co-wash once a week and deep condition twice a week. Great video!!
Sounds like quite a bit of manipulation, but if the positives (conditioning) outweigh the negatives (wear and tear) then that's great! It's all about striking that balance! X
your soooooo beautiful that smile and accent is everything 👏👍❤
I love your hair! Mine is not growing anymore from the last 4years and it's very frustrating 😩 I thought it was genetics! I will try your methods.
Abigail B.
Msm and biotin pills
You ’ re soo adorable. Thank you for these tips !
Aw thanks! My pleasure!
I used to be all about that finger detangling life when I was a TWA but now that it's a bit longer and A LOT thicker, I find myself using combs whenever I wash!
Hey! That's fine as long as your hair's okay with it! :)
Wow, all of these tips were so very great! I get excited when i see someone with hair that looks like mine, And it really does grow with the right care. It gives my ear-length hair hope. Thank you so much!
my hair hates coconut oil 😔
Mine does too, somewhat. Thing is, I ONLY ever use it prior to washing! It makes a big difference as regards breaking during washing - there are studies on this!
Of course you're free to use olive oil - it's probably just as effective. :)
Naturally High didn't know that, thank u
It smells horrible
Coconut oil is everything for me.. my hair doesn't break.. because of it.. I love it.. I actually don't think it smell bad.. I've used worse smelling products..😂
I must say. I really love your vibe. It's like you have that free black girl magic. You are not afraid to be yourself no matter what. We need that 👌💯💯.
Hey! This is more of comment on your channel in general but I'm really glad I found this! It's really hard to find a simple 4c hair routine, and if it wasn't for finding your channel I would have gave up and pursued locs (which is the only 4c hairstyle I've had luck with; I just miss the feeling of unloc'd hair)
Lots are definitely more 'manageable' than loose hair as you don't have to worry about detangling! I've also strongly considered locking my mane.
like oh my gosh here me out it's actually really satisfying that everything you have mentioned on your vid .Is what I have been doing during my A break to everyone also reading my comment I shaved all my hair off dec 2016 never touched it would only corm it on a Sunday to attend mass or if going out . washed it everyday without fail with regular bodysoap.Kept it in a bennie/headwrap all day every day.I NEVER PLACED HAIRFOOD EVEN OIL FOR MY SCALP. Believe Me when I say it only took 5 months to grow to the length of your before picture on your vid thumbnail. I was shooketh .Now I'm on the road of growing hair as long as yours. I think by the end of the year I would be able to reach my goal. Keep up with the great vids but these methods need to be preached to all black girls across the globe😁👍❤❤❤❤.
your video on helpful hints was more helpful then a lot of other videos I've watched
definitely intrigued by oil rinsing...i need to try it and see what happens!
I'm Chinese and I have straight ramrod straight hair and I hate it! I've always wished I had 4c hair. Sigh..
lol
you wish you had 4c hair... stop lying girl
Actually , have y'all heard of that kinky hair perm Asians use? Google it. It's actually a thing and it makes their hair similar to 4b/4c texture
Just because you hate your hair and wish you had straight hair doesn't mean that others feel the same way about our hair.
Why is everyone here so negative, I think you have beautiful hair, try to maybe focus on other things. Then you'll see your hair in an other light.
I've been natural all my life. It has always been long, but never got past the nape of my neck. With that said, I'd like to thank you for being honest, very open about your hair journey. After watching this video, I tried some of the tips you suggested and they worked!! I used finger detangling more, I stopped using hair tools, I began reading the ingredients of hair products more closely, changed my diet and my hair has grown 3 inches already without any breakage. Also your wash day routine, has been my salvation!!!!! Sheba (my hair lol) is pretty happy with me these day and for that I thank you. Keep on keeping on sister!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your results with me! I'm thrilled to hear that!
Aaliya Thorpe tell sheba I said hi.:))))
your hair is my goals
You are so amazing! And you are such an encouragement to get to know natural hair... thank you so much ☺️👍🏿 I'm following your Chanel
Yes, finger detangling have helped me get to the length that I'm at now
Glad to hear that! I'm not surprised at all!
X
These tips are everything!! Thank you so much for posting! =D
Hair guru!! I don't have afro hair BUT I do have very curly and dry hair. I'm going to try your tips!! Thanks you!!
When ever I feel unmotivated I go back to ur old videos and look how your hair used to be. #motivation
Your hair is so beautiful. Thank for the info
I protective style and keep my hair up for days at a time. I moisturize enough to keep it moisturized for the rest of the week. i deep condition, do protein treatments. im always finger detangling and im always gentle. I get trims every six months. I've done every hair treatment in the book. Litterally I've been on my hair journey for 5 years. I've only kept and retained 5 inches. i notice mt hair gets longer but everytime i go to get it trimmed i always end up cutting off everything i grew because its all split ends. I know I could never get my hair any longer. I can only dream to have hair like yours lol. love your hair btw.
Oh dear! I'm so sorry to hear that! Have you considered seeing a nutritionist or checking for any deficiencies? It sounds as though you're doing everything right!
Ethnic is Beauty. Most ethnic products I've run across are in the Beauty Isle along with non-ethnic hair products. There are stores that separate the products to an Ethnic Isle, but not all.
I have watched approximately 10 or more hair videos today regarding growing hair and or maintaining hair length; like the other young lady, you are very articulate and an outstanding speaker! However, you are more Superior in your video, because you "Get Straight to the Point!!" Thank you for all the great detailed, specific information. Truly, this is a wonderfully Helpful Video! God Bless & Thanks a million!
thanks for the video. I've learned a lot. putting the comb to rest and adding oil rinsing to my regimen as well as protein treatment.
Yay! Happy to hear that! X
+Naturally High what do you use to moisturize while protective styling?
+Naa Kai water, oil and leave in or just water. I keep touching and manipulating to a minimum.
Great informative video, thx for all the tips....I would love to have long hair like yours, I will try all these tips especially the finger detangling tip!
+ruby14444 My pleasure! If there's anything I can elaborate on, do let me know! You'll get there! X
Your hair is gorgeous!!! I love it
JUST FOUND YOUR PAGE. YOUR SO INSPIRING. SUBSCIBED
Thanks for the tips. Although it took me a long time to get on with it, finger detangling is the way to go for me. I do apply a little hot oil and melted Shea butter on my scalp when massaging and apply on my hair when I have twists only once a week so my scalp doesn't get itchy. Hot oil treatments work wonders on my hair and I always start with massaging my scalp down to my ends. Most people do the other way round but I find I get better results with my hair that way.
It's all about finding what works for you and sticking to it! Happy to hear you're already there! X
Hola he visto tu vídeo en Español, me gusto mucho.Sería bueno que hagas muchos más ..porque sinceramente no sé nada de Inglés. Tu cabello es precioso, me encantaría tenerlo así. Otra cosa hablas muy bien Español, te felicito. A propósito soy Colombiana pero vivo en Italia .Un sincero saludo. Dios te bendiga..
ur haïr length is my haïr goal. i hope to one day reach tht length. ur gorgeous btw
My hair never grows above 6" 😐😐
Glenda Masiala Your boyfriend is really handsome/cute! Gon head girl!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Jen Broccoli! Lol thanks x
Glenda Masiala girl literally my hair as well
Taf Bunhu That must mean that your ends are breaking off. You should check to see that your ends a moisturised enough especially your ends. Also check that you're not to rough with your hair.
Thank you for all the great tips. Do you have a video or webpage of all the products you use in your regimen? And a step by step guide as to how you execute your regimen. These tips are great but I think I might be using the wrong products.
😖 I honestly believe finger strangling would allow me to retain sooooo much length but I just worry about how I could do that, style my hair and look cute when leaving the house. also I'll be worried about missing spots and locking of my hair. I really want the length though.
I totally get you but with practice you'll get good at it. In terms of looking your best all the time, I certainly don't so I'm not a good example of someone who can do both :P Super stylish naturals with neat hair tend to use combs and gel - it's fine if that's your thing!
Hi! Thanks for the great tips, you are beautiful. You mentioned that you don't use oils on your scalp. Does that mean that you don't moisturize your scalp at all, just your hair? Thanks!
:-/
Long, kinky, brown hair. The best! 💕
Hello Asha! Oh I've missed you and I've missed a lot in general, I'm playing catch up to my subscriptions, lol!! My hair grows ultra slow Asha and so that I can retain as much length as I can I'm going to take your advice and try a low manipulation regimen...if only my hair was just longer already I would do buns so often I wouldn't even worry about stretching it for length and what not, I would just bun it and go lol! For the past 2 weeks I've been massages my hair more....I love your slide clips you have a pretty interesting and active life. Girl, I tried to explain "hydral fatigue" to my mom last year from one of your past videos and she was so not understanding me lol, she kind of shushed me she didn't want to hear anymore, lol! I have to get back into the coconut oil to protect my strands from over expansion. Yes oh yes, I haven't used a comb in 3 years and I love it but I finally used my Denman 3 weeks ago after over 5 years of not brushing my hair and the bristles felt so good Asha, like therapeutic lol! I keep saying it and not doing it but I'm getting some weave lol, I think that will help me tremendously with low manipulation styles and I'm kind of tired of wearing Ms. Megan my Sunday wig, lol! Great video, 2 thumbs up, thanks for sharing and I'm sharing this on my GG+ page so I can have this as a nice reminder : )
Hey Kerducky! I was wondering where you'd got to!! :)
As regards short hair and protective styling, it's still possible. If you haven't already, you should try wearing your hair in twists and styling those twists protectively. For example, in my early days, I would wear my small twists in 2 canerows (cornrows) with the ends tucked. Twisting/plaiting your hair makes it easier to style it protectively if it's short. It's interesting you say your hair is short, because in your thumbnail your twists look really plump and long! :D
Hey thanks! Those clips were taken from a student TV show I used to be on called Breaking Maas (if you check it out look at season 4).
Hygral fatigue is definitely real - I'm glad you're working on it!
Your hair must be different from mine if it loves Denman brushes! They break mine to pieces! I'm happy for you though. Maybe that means that combing/brushing your hair isn't too bad.
Weave is a good solution! Please keep me updated!
Stay sweet!
Naturally High Hello again my friend! I don't want to be misleading, my hair is shorter than I'd like it to be lol, I say I prefer it to be longer much longer lol! People would probably say I have medium to long length hair, heck even when I had SL hair people said it long, so I guess I should just say I have long hair, lol!
I'm a little past APL but it's not all around APL, that would make a HUGE difference for me, like my bangs aren't even past my chin and my sides reach down a lil past collarbone and I have S U P E R shrinkage, so I get this weird mushroom shape look that I don't really like.
Oh Asha I wear nothing but twists lol and they're always tucked under but I do high manipulation flat twist styles, (I keep them in for 1-2 wks) and occasionally I do 2 strand twist styles. When I say high manipulation I'm not really twisting super tight but the flat twist styles that I like to do mostly take about 3-4 hours depending on how stretched my hair is. I want to adopt a less time consuming regimen for styling...like I'm going to try the 2 flat twists but I'm so picky, the front of my hair and the top of head the shape, certain styles just don't look right lol, I have to play around with it. I would like to do chunky twists like you but when I've tried chunky twists I lose length and then I can't style like I want, lol! I would love to just throw my hair up into a bun but the amount of stretching I have to do to get to my liking, it's like 3 steps, I stretch my hair for 2 days and on the 3rd day it's ready lol!
Season 4 gotcha lol!!
Well my hair loved the Denman when I had piles of conditioner on it and I took out 2 of the rows so it was super modified lol but I only used it because I felt like I could get a really thorough trim (I do light dustings all the time) but I don't plan on using it again, I'll probably go buy a wide tooth comb the next time I'm in need of a good trim.
And I'm really going to get some weave already, I agree it will help so much.
Thanks so much for you can words and in depth responses and your so nice as well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend
I will definitely keep you updated : )
Es impresionante como te ha crecido el cabello, tu cabello es genial linda, yo aquí con deseos de la transición pero dudo a veces!!!
I love your hair! And thank you for the tips! I just started transitioning and my hair is short Thus i had to cut off the chemical damaged ends. You mentioned a protein treatment? What is it , please? Thank you again
Thanks for sharing. New subbie.😝
Very pretty girl!
Your hair is beautiful! Watching this vid, all I kept saying is that your length is my ultimate goal. Really gonna strive for that past-shoulder length ! #4CGirls4Life
Love your hair and accent.
how do you hydrate your scalp while it's in a protective style? i usually mist with water, but can't do that unless i'm wearing braids or twist. i'm getting tired of braids and twists.
Such great insights and so well said! Definitely an inspiration to get onto a healthy hair journey
Te felicito por tener ese cabello tan lindo podrias recomendarme un producto para desenredar el cabello afro que no se enjuague. algo como una crema para peinar y que producto de aphogee me recomiendas recomiendas l
Thanks it's nice to see fellow 4c with long hair
Your hair length is perfect in my opinion
You sound like hermoine granger/ Emma Watson to me. Maybe you guys are from the same area?
kiara cummigs England
OnyxEyes1719 England has cities
+kiara cummigs Oxford ish I'm guessing. west
I'm from Surrey - not sure if Emma Watson is too.
Naturally High
You have a British accent plus perfect diction just like Emma Watson as opposed to a "hard to understand" heavy Derby or Liverpool accent
thanks for your retention secrets...awesome!!!
Thanks so much for sharing, I need to get back on track with some of these tips! 😃
What are you waiting for!? :P
X
+Naturally High Me to get over being scissor happy! Lol, I enjoy my hair too much to put it away also...decisions, decisions! 😃
I'm a male.. I think if people really listen to you and do it.. they will get great results.. I don't use combs anymore.. I finger detangle only, starting from the ends first and i don't have any more breakage.. the ends is VERY important so take care of that!!
Great video-you kept it real!
Your hair is beautifully long!!!!!😍. I'm a newbie to natural hair and I definitely want to have long hair like you. I'm a 4c hair type. I don't know the pros and cons of natural hair yet. would you mind helping me?...would really appreciate. Thank you.
+prevailer mea Hi! Thanks! What information are you after?
Pros - it's beautiful and YOU
Cons - it takes a while to get used to
+Naturally High the necessary things I must do to stop my hair from breaking off. Every time I comb or even touch my hair, my hair must fall off and I don't know what to do😩. And also my hair is usually so strong what can I do to soften it?...Thank you!!!
+prevailer mea You need to keep it moisturised by wetting it, adding a leave-in and sealing with an oil. You should also look for a good moisturising deep conditioner.
How often do u trim? I think trimming our hair is a key factor too. I do a light trim a few times a yr.
Thanks for the tips!
Hi! I don't have a regular trimming schedule - I simply trim whenever my ends appear worn. If you're very strict in your regime, you may find you won't even need to do so.
ok...
i want to reach waist length hair
:D
You can do it!
How ....my hair is constantly breaking off
trim ends and do protective styles an you will be alright.
find out your hair porosity. once you know it change your regimen according to that if you don't already. trust me, it makes a world of difference. keep it moisturized, and leave it alone. it will grow.
@@zie4259 But I wonder, do afro hairs really need trimming? Split-ends.. I've never seen them directly from afro (4c, coarse, pure wild hair that you see West African women have) hairs. No fairy knots.. nothing. Not on mine, nor on somene else's, and I've lived long years in West Africa only. Maybe it's just that I missed the opportunities, but I trully am curious; do these hair types need trimming?
Great job! I would love to see you hair unstretched with no manipulation.
+RosaL180 Hey! Thanks for the request. I'm very unlikely to do that as it would lead to knots galore! I never let my hair shrink up unless I've got no choice. If you want to see what my hair looks like shrunken, check this picture. I got caught in the rain! facebook.com/naturallyhighhair/photos/pb.415138935198665.-2207520000.1463958049./917760721603148/?type=3&theater
I agree , my hair is fine , 4a , 4b ; my hair is not a fan of protective styles at all , but my son's hair is 4c with length as yours and I keep it braided , it grows like a weed ! Lol
+Selena Brown Different strokes for different folks! :)
I have 4c hair and I'm not a fan of protective styles either. But my hair past my shoulders I know how to keep it healthy whilst having fun
Very detailed video. Thanks for sharing :)
My absolute pleasure! Thanks for your comment! X
Beautiful hair!
If you wear a protective style for 2+ weeks, do you wash your hair while it is in the style?
I do. but you can also do dry washes. there should be some products at your local hair shop

I love the way you speak!!!! I subbed :)
Great tips!!!
I fell in love with Aphogee the first time I used it. Do you recommend it being a continuous part of the 4c hair care regimen, or just once in a while? For example, buying the big bottles of their shampoo and conditioner for continued use.
I've only every used the 2-step protein treatment. I'd definitely recommend using it every 6 weeks. However, I no longer do it due to time constraints.
What protective styles did you use when your hair was shorter, because the styles you showed can only be achieved when your hair is already quite long.
Thanks :)
+ItsME! Good question! I used to wear my hair in twists a lot but I rarely wore the twists out. I would style them in 2 French plaits and tuck the ends in. I hope this helps! x
When keeping your protective style in for 1-2 weeks, how do you insure your hair is moisturized without taking it down?
Good question.

I've never looked into oil rinsing.. but then again I hardly use shampoo, these were some good tips love...
Hey! Happy to hear that. Does your fair feel dry after you cleanse? Then consider adding this step. If not, there's no need. I now oil rinse after co-washing as well!
After cowashin too? Interesting.. I plan to try it after my clay washing to see how my hair feels, do you clay wash at all?
+Nelly B. Nah! I'd love to try it though! I have no idea where to get the clay. And I imagine it's expensive... Any advice?
not too expensive.. u can get a 1lb tub on the UK amazon site for less than 10 pounds, check this link www.amazon.co.uk/Aztec-Secret-Indian-Healing-Facial/dp/B0014P8L9W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462226742&sr=8-3&keywords=bentonite+clay
+Nelly B. Thanks for the link! Delivery from the UK tends to be expensive so I stick to the German Amazon store. I've found Rhassoul clay on there and it's cheap as chips! Can't wait t try!

Great tips!! 👌Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
+JulieNaturally Thanks for your comment! My pleasure!
You're welcome and keep up the great work!! 👌
While these techniques may work for your length retention , not all may apply for others . Protective styles can have cons depending on texture of hair 😊
Then show us your expertise, please!😒 We know it's her channel, and thereby, her experience. Why do y'all criticize ppl offering their own advice for FREE? 😊
+Kwameika Postell This!
+Selena Brown But the whole point of her video to respond to the question of "How do you (keyword 'you') retain length", she's not making this the standard. Comments like this under vids advocating protective styling are strange... People should be independent enough to absorb information and filter it to their needs rather than censor vloggers because "not everything works for everyone"
Protective styles are a problem only if you get lazy with it, leave it on for months, have fragile edges and stop looking after your hair. You need to understand your own hair and adapt youtubers tips to your hair. People just need to have a bit more common when it comes to hair journey and that finding the right techniques for themselves may take time.
Hi! Yeah, I agree. My videos are tailored towards naturals with very coily/ kinky hair and fine strands. Even then, there will certainly be some variation. That said, I had perpetually short hair as a child and believed it couldn't grow. These are the techniques that have helped debunked that myth (in my case).
I make a conscious effort to stress the fact that this is what has worked for me #knowyourhair. That said, I'm happy to say that other naturals have followed suit and had positive results.
I hope this clarifies a few things!

Great informative video!
Great video! I have a question for you : I saw you working out in your video. What do you do to keep your scalp healthy? Do you wash / cowash after every work out?
I'd like to know more about that part of your regimen. :)
PS: You're beautiful!
Thank you! Please see my latest videos as I deal with this topic specifically!

Oh my I just stumbled upon your channel, loved this video. We even have the same name. ^_^ keep up the good work!
I like your use of vocabulary
Very useful video. Thank you :)
too some degree, people can organize their hair rarely without combs and brushes...but you do need it.
My hair breaks so much on wash day. I prepoo and finger detangle but once it's dry I seem to lose so much. What am I doing wrong?
These are very good tips, the cold in the Netherlands is just too dangerous for our hair
Exactly - it's not ideal.
I just love your videos and hour hair, you've helped me so much. God bless
Great video :) Do you trim your hair very often as well?
the basic shampoo is just fine for any ones hair type the purpose of shampoo is it clean the hair fully this is why your hair is dry after however there is something you can do to help
1use a shower filter a shower filter is designed to strip harsh chemicals like Colerain. chlorine is one of the worst chemicals in water when it comes to the human hair and skin because it naturally have a drying effect
2 not using the property moisturizer for your hair text to and not properly knowing your hair texture. hair does not come in just one text you it comes in a minimum of two different texture
3 not doing your own research by going to the licensed cosmetologist. people nowadays want to get everything from CZcams the only issue with that is unless the person is a licensed cosmetologist you really don't know where they're getting their information from or if it's even logical or legit the internet can say anything facts will always remain.
4 being thirsty for long hair if you really understand your hair and how to you properly take care of your hair you do not need to do in length checks.
5.not questioning people about there advice just because somebody on CZcams tell you about a regiment or product doesn't mean that what they are saying is right. you have to remember people give their opinion on products and regiments based on what works for them and people they know or have seen through the internet.
6 not trying out products for yourself just because it's suggests that don't mean it's right for you
