Thx SO MUCH for doing this video!! I'm 53 and started going natural about 5 years ago but i wasn't doing it right either. I didn't do the big chop, i wasn't eating right, i have an autoimmune disease, and then, i was under a lot of stress. Plus, i HATED drinking water. Trying to find the right products was a chore too. My daughter went natural and the products she used didn't work for me. I started getting depressed. I had a heart attack last year, and started dealing with that by changing my diet and drinking water. I found two product lines that work really nice to keep my hair moisturized (Hydratherma Naturals and Shea Moisture). It took 5 years for me to grow my hair 4 inches but I've grown almost 5 inches in less than 9 months! I'm Amazed. My hair had even started to thin in the middle to the pount I barely had baby hair because I kept wearing ponytails. STOP DOUNG THAT LADIES! At least for a few months! I'm afraid to put heat on my hair but when i stretch it when its wet, so it's really long (past my shoulders mow even tjough it shrinks up very quickly). So, for any of you ladies who are like me, DONT GIVE UP. Assess what you are doing (or NOT doing). HONESTLY. And make a new plan. If you can't do everything at once, do 3 things. If you can't do that, do one thing. If you can't do one, STOP doing something that's bad. Even that helps. I always look at the comments on these hair videos and people say that their hair has grown but they NEVER say what they use. Here's my list: 1. Hydratherma Naturals products: a. Clarifying shampoo (full head) b. Any conditioner (i use them all), OR Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Intensive conditioner (full head) c. Follicle Mist (only on the scalp) 2. Shea moisture Leave in conditioner (only the day i wash it and I use it like you would if you wre greasing your scalp ) 3. Grapeseed oil (because coconut oil left on my scalp makes me itch!). I put some on my entire head, lightly. Then, i put it only on the ends, daily. 4. Vitamin B6 (2x/week, 100mg. Made by Solgar) 5. Vitamin D3 (50,000 units, 1x/week). * get your levels checked FIRST! I only use this much because my levels are very low because of my autoimmune disease (Multiple Sclerosis). 6. A Slapcap (satin in the inside). I'll be honest: i MIGHT wear it 1x/month during the spring, summer, and fall but I wear one ilunder my winter hats at all times. Again, Im working on this!! We all got our trials. Lol. 7. No heat. My daughter does heat styles sometimes and her hair is down to her butt (and she started with a TWA). But i just want to wait a bit longer before i try that. 8. I wash my hair at least once/every two weeks. But try to wash it once/week. 9. I dont deep conditioning but that's next on the list!! 10. I use my fingers most of the time to untangle my hair and never comb or brush it if its not wet. I masshae my scalp with my fingers at least once a day for about a minute. It just feels good! 11. I use one of those combs that the Yao women use (the ladies who live in Asia and have really super long hair). You can buy it from their website. I've never used the "rice water treatment" but i might try it. They show you EXACTLY how to make it on their documentary. 12. I use one of those green brushes that look like it's a separated hand. You all know what I'm talking about. 13. I eat chicken, fish, shrimp. No pork but i will eat a hamburger or beef ribs every blue moon. 13. I mix oatmilk with 2% milk (half and half) for my cereal but use extra creamy oatmilk in any revipe that calls for milk or cream. Otherwise, I stay away from dairy. I eat vegan ice cream, vegan cheese, and plant butter. It REALLY DOES taste the same IF you buy the better products. I eat a piece of fruit and at least one vegetable every day. 14. I drink at least #4, 16 ounce glasses of water every day. I had to buy this water filter called WaterDrops to like drinking water. It has a charcoal filter and to me, taste so much better than that nasty Brita water. AND it's cheaper. 15. TMI: I have a bowel movement at least every day and a half. 16. I lowered my stress by writing, getting a cat, and letting my kids figure out their own problems. I let THEM do the thinking first!L, and if they need some extra advice, then i try to help. And before you ask: No, I don't exercise. I hate it. But again, I'm working on doing that. I hate it, but just like finding the right hair products, I'll find the right type for me. I lowered my blood pressure (from high 180s/100s to low 130s/70s). I'm still working on that. My cholesterol has improved, and I take my meds EVERY DAY. They no longer make my scalp dry. And last but certainly not least: I ask God to help me stay on track AND how to improve. Sorry I made such a long comment but I hope this helps someone. Just like she's given me some very helpful tips to use to help MY hair journey. God Bless! And happy hair growth! ❤
Oh my goodness - where do I even begin?? :) I apologize this reply is so late. I was twisting my son's hair when your message came through the other day, and this is my first opportunity to get on my desktop computer. There's no way I could respond from my phone -- too much to say. #1 - Your very last statement is where it all begins. God is awesome. I won't address all your points, but it seems like you have your regimen down to a T. except for those few things you want to work on. I curious about the follicle mist, though. Is there a particular brand you use? I'd like to try that. My scalp doesn't like coconut oil either -- itches like crazy. My hair loves grapeseed oil and argan oil. They're both very lightweight. I'm SO HAPPY about your blood pressure and cholesterol --- whooh hoo! My friend you are doing such a fantastic job and you're diligent with EVERYTHING. Keep it up and know that you are not alone on your journey. I'm still your cheerleader and I'm glad you're mine, too! I sincerely appreciate you leaving an informative comment and sharing what you're found works for you. I'm sure others will find it helpful as I did.
@NaturallyCorporate Aww, ty. It's been tough (the health thing, I mean), but I try as hard as I can. OK, the follicle mist I use is by Hydratherma Naturals. I only use it once a month after I wash my hair to add my deep conditioning process. I use it because I have low porosity hair (products have a tough time breaking through my follicle to do their job, so this does the job for me (especially since i don't use any kind of steamer). Some people use a steamer, and it does the same thing; I just prefer not to use heat in any form. If you use it, make sure you have low or normal porosity hair (not high) as it opens up your follicles even more (which high porosity hair doesn't need help to do). Plus, any products you use afterward if you have high porosity hair may irritate the scalp. People say you can use it on dry hair, but since I'm massaging my scalp after I use this and before doing my deep conditioning treatment, I only put it on wet hair to prevent breakage. And put it on your SCALP, NOT your hair!! Otherwise, your hair will get hard. I rub it in and let it sit for about 5 minutes. THEN, I do all of my other stuff so my products can get down into my roots. After the time I need to deep condition is up, I rinse everything out. And use a slightly cooler than lukewarm rinse to seal everything back up. You've allowed the cuticles to be open long enough for the leave-in conditioner (also only applied to the roots) to do THEIR job. I think if people learned their hair porosity, they could pick the right products for their hair. Learning your hair porosity is as simple as dropping a piece of hair in a glass of water! Free! And I love free!
I am 70 and my hair is fine like yours, and during COVID 2020; my hair was twisted up, no color for most of the year. My daughter got married in March 2021 and I colored it and straighten it out. My hair has never been this long. I do take vitamins and green smoothies daily. I did have some shedding for awhile. Like you I am enjoying my long hair on my way to waist length in my 70’s
Hi Nan!! Oh my gosh, your hair has really been thriving!!!!! I bet it is absolutely gorgeous, too. With it being twisted up it was just quietly getting longer and longer. 😁 How did you wear your hair for your daughter’s wedding? 💗
Thank you for making this video. I am in my 50's and I am growing my hair. I keep my hair in cornrows for three months at a time. Mine is growing. There is no age limit on growing your hair. The truth is in the way you take care of it.
✨✨Hi there!!! I’m so happy you viewed my video and found some value. You said it! It’s the way we take care of our hair. It’s true! For me, I have to set aside the time and do all the things I feel will benefit my hair. And I enjoy that time b/c it’s for ME. ☺️ I appreciate you for backing up what I shared, and hopefully other women will see your comment. While your hair is in corn rows, do you shampoo it?
Hi just came across your page through another RUclipsr, I am 52 and will be 53 in a month and going through menopause. My hair is not thriving and been using different products, would like to know what is MSM, is it a supplement?
I'm almost 60 and have been back on this journey for 12 years. The first two times that I went back natural, I was in my 30s. Anyway, on this current journey I was doing good until about 2-3 years ago when I got lazy on taking care of my hair. I didn't revert back to relaxers but I also wasn't giving my hair the best care like I needed to. Thanks to some much younger friends who keep asking me for tips for their hair or their child's hair (they think my hair looks great), I've decided that I needed to start back giving my hair some TLC. So, I've started back watching videos, again. While I appreciate all the videos from the younger RUclipsrs, I miss all of the folks from 12 years ago that I use to follow who were nearer to my age and who seem to have disappeared from You Tube. Looking forward to watching your videos / following your channel as I get my hair back to a healthy state.
Mavis, I'm so glad you stopped by! It's very nice to meet you. I do simple hair styles on my channel - - meaning other than crochet braids here and there, I primarily do twistouts. Lately I've sprinkled in some wigs but it was just a brief Summer Wig series. I get my hair trimmed professionally every 3-5 months, and that's also when my stylist can let me know how my hair is looking. Honestly, I'm greedy. I want health AND length. :) LOL I know that health is what's most important, but I'm a girly girl at heart and I want long hair. So, for as long as it will grow I will be grateful for it. I also have thyroid disease and I shared a video about how it affects my hair. I'm truly just glad my hair seems to be thriving right now. I baby it and really try to be gentle with it. Again, I'm delighted that you took the time to watch my video and leave a comment. I post a video every Friday @ 6:15pm Eastern and sometimes I throw in an extra video if I have time. See you next time!
You are not alone. When I went natural in 2010 I too thought it would do what it was supposed to do because it was natural. I never deep conditioned, moisturized, etc. Not since 2018, I've learned. It truly is a journey.
Your curls are beautiful and long. That's how I used to wear my hair when I would go to the salon. I am 56 and I have noticed that my hair is not growing as fast as it did when I was in my 40's. Which now I'm on medication for my low platelets which can be a part of my slow growth. As you said I am thankful that I have hair. Thank you for sharing and nice video.
Hey there! Mine isn't growing as fast either and I'm okay with it. I'm thankful to have hair for as long as I'm fortunate enough to have it. I appreciate you, my friend!
Your journey is awesome and inspiring. I too am in my 40's and I'm still trying to learn how to maintain length properly and healthy. I struggle with my crown. Recently I abused using aloe vera plant and it broke my hair off up top. Trail and error🤔🙄 Trying to grow it back. Any who your hair is beautiful and its definitely thriving 🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing and stay blessed 😇
🌺Hi there, I’m so glad you stopped by! I had no idea aloe Vera could be damaging. That’s so interesting. My crown gives me fits, too. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. 💕
At nearly 54 I frequently get asked if I have hair extensions because I have tons of hair that will grow to any length I desire including halfway down my back if I want. My tips: I've never had a hair weave or extensions of any sort., I've never braided my hair much less tightly, I limit blow dryers and hot tools to 3x week. While I relax it every 8 weeks I don't also bleach it and add in a bunch of funky colors. I exercise regularly. Balanced diet. I don't buy expensive shampoos. It's my belief that frying your hair and bleaching and over weaving it... there is no shampoo that's going to counteract that effectively. Love your video 🌷.
I'm so sorry for just now replying. I read your message several days ago but I was working and couldn't reply at the time. It sounds like you have some amazing hair, my friend! That's awesome and very encouraging. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this! I am approaching 40 and I want to continue to grow my hair as I age. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your story! You are a beautiful sister! God bless you! ❤❤
@@NaturallyCorporate I did look at that video right after! ❤️ Your hair is gorgeous! I am so grateful for you!! Keep going sis!! Your journey is blessing all of us!
You and your hair are absolutely beautiful! This is really encouraging because I just turned 40 this year and was worried my window to reach my hair goals was slowly closing. Side note, I think I may have been in the same hair growth study you mentioned. It really opened my eyes that my retention wasn’t where it needed to be. I know this is an old video but I just found your channel so I’m binge watching 😂. Thanks again
I have that same fear… that my growth will slow down and I may not handle it well. That’s why I deep condition regularly and keep my hair regimen simple. 😳 I’ve learned my hair and I know that - thank goodness - it doesn’t require a lot of ‘extra.’ So do everything you can to treat it right and hopefully the growth you want will come. 👍🏾
My hair started to shed at 40 of course i thought nothing of it! Right. Now 46 my hair is thin short and dry! I come here to see what i can do to regain my growth and healthy look. Hey aging don't come. With a roadmap! Thank goodness for RUclips and women willing to share their journey.
Hi my friend. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with shedding, dryness, etc. Unfortunately, it may be hormonal. Have you considered seeing a dermatologist to see if there is anything that can help? Are you seeing a styling regularly to see what he/she says?
@@NaturallyCorporate , Hi! Thanks for taking the time to reply back to my comment!🤗 However I actually seen my doctor today for some blood work to see what's going on with this 40 plus body!.. Keep you updated..
Your hair is sooo stunning! I am in my early 30s but I can say that it is so useful to know this information early on in my journey. Thank you for making this video with these great tips Beauty!!! 💛💛
Thank you friend!! shared my story to inspire others, and hopefully I’ve succeeded. If only I’d known back then what I know now... smh... my hair just might be a beautiful beast. Lol. You’re already doing all the right things- I know b/c of your channel content. You have nothing to worry about. 🌹
Twist outs and length retention are like sisters, best friends and peanut butter & jelly! My go to style and I (like you) am living in gratitude for my growth;) I'm definitely sharing this video!
😂😂😂same here, I never go to bed without my satin scarf and I have satin pillow cases but still won’t do it lol. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing some of your journey with us, it’s not an easy one buts it’s definitely worth it.
Sis! I think we’re about to be good friends. I’m over 40 as well & attempting to grow my hair long. I’ve been on my natural hair journey for many years, but haven’t gotten past a certain length. I’m trying a lot of natural products now, and seeing a big difference. Thanks for sharing! Your hair is gorgeous btw💞
Your hair is beautiful!!! Just found your channel - what a blessing. Please keep sharing your hair journey and experience. Been natural for 11+ years. Trying to get over the hump and acquire longer hair.
Thank you! Will do! I appreciate you SO much, I really do. Wow--11 years. That's a long time. I'd love to know more about your hair. How do you normally wear it and what are some of your favorite products?
Hey babe! You’re hair looks so HEALTHY ✨ I did a big chop maybe 4 years ago and it was the best decision I could’ve made. I love how you kept such good track of your journey. Great video ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, your hair is beautiful and so are you. You are definitely an inspiration and I’m definitely subscribing. I’m 43 and it’s awesome to see someone in my age group that proves that healthy hair is obtainable at any age😊
Hiiii! It’s nice to meet you. ☺️ Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment for me. Social media is saturated with younger creators, which is great. BUT… the 40+ demographic exists, too! And we’re beautiful, foxy, glamorous, etc., and we take care of our hair as well. I slacked big time on my trims last year and had to get a cpl of inches trimmed in December. I expected it. I was really hoping 🤞🏾 to be near waist length at my hair’s longest point, but I’ve got a little bit linger ways to go now. And it’s fine. So, let’s be each other’s cheerleaders 📣!! We got this. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Thank you for haring this. I have had hair challenges and I am just over 50. My hair doesn't seem to be growing well at all and a couple of years ago I even had bald spots in many places. There is hope. Your hair is lovely
Im in my 50s type 4c and my hair slow grow due to DNA, hormones, and environmental stress... Its june 2020. My goal is thick and healthy hair. Im sure growth will come... consistency is key once u find a routine that wrks for u(individual)..tfs ur tips and experience.
Hi! I’m so glad to hear from you. You’re exactly right- routine is key. What are some things you’re planning to do to get the results you want? Thank you so much for watching.
@@NaturallyCorporate to answer ur question....honestly ione have a clue. Perhaps I'll just keep doing wut I've been doing which is washing every 2 wks, deep conditioning and oiling my scalp. U know the ole skool things our mom/grandma did. I wid love to have a rapid hair growth. As u know not all things wrk for everbody. Its like Algebra and solve for the unknown variable and when u find one that wrk stick with it. Im not a product junkie plus profucts now cists way too much. Therefore i stick with the old skool way...
This is the video that got me watching your videos. It gives me realistic expectations. It’s so honest. I’ll be 39 in October. I’ve always had my hair texlaxed; it just wasn’t labeled in the nineties. I went 100% natural in 2005. I think that hormonal changes after 35 AND having children after 35 has changed my hair. Learning from you is really helpful. I swear my hair looks just like yours when it’s straight and curly. I’m sure there are subtle differences but it’s similar enough. Thank you for the time you put in. Please keep posting. If you ever want to try something to make a video about I’ll be happy to try it out with you. I’m going to do henna and indigo in two weeks for the first time. I’ll let you know how it goes for me.
Feedback like yours is what inspires me to keep creating content. I am a very real and down to earth person with the same daily life challenges as other moms & wives may have. I’m the lady next door. ☺️. Underneath it all I’m just a ‘girl’ who wants to look my best. Let me know about the henna & indigo. I have no experience w/ henna at all, but I’ve heard it can change your curl pattern (May or may not be true- just sharing). I’ll definitely let you know when I try something else. I REALLY appreciate you! 💕💕✨✨
NaturallyCorporate, your down to Earth vibe comes off flawlessly. Keep creating. I don’t know what it takes to get a huge following but I like what you do. It suits you but is also adaptive and informative. I bet your corporate background seeps into your videos in some way too. I’ve been leery of henna since I first learned of it. That was three years ago. I got my hair back to being at least moisturized consistently because I use diy herbal oils and butters. I also you tea rinses and spritz. Knowing that Aruvedya works I’m confident I’ll get a good result from my henna and indigo treatment. I want the strengthening benefits the Lawson dye adds from henna. I have a few grays that I adore but I’d rather use indigo to make them darker brown opposed to orange. I’ve been researching for three years a practice that’s been around for centuries. What can go wrong? I’ve done an allergy test so I know I’ll live. I will keep you posted on my henna treatment. Your hair color is beautiful as is. I have simple jet black hair so I don’t think the henna/indigo dye will do too much. If you’re interested you should try some of the other herbs that don’t release dye to protect your natural color.
Hello! I told you I’d let you know how the henna treatment went. It’s absolutely wonderful. There are some cons but the pros far out weigh them. The worst parts is it’s messy and time consuming. It took a few tries and a clogged drain to get a system together that minimized both time and mess. My hair is so nice after just four treatments. (I’ve done 2 glosses then 2 full henna masks in the past three weeks. Only the last mask I consider successful so I’m not experiencing any set backs. I’ll try to post my 30s video with before and after pictures. Please take a look if you have a chance and let me know what you think. I like it a lot and my hair feels great!! I’m still working on my seafood pasta video. Turns out I’m a much better chef than I am a camera person, in front or behind, and video editor. But I have time to learn so I’ll take advantage.
Thank you so much. That was an excellent, encouraging, and informative video. Thank you for sharing both your experience and your regimen that has worked for you. I recently had to cut off about 3 inches of my natural hair back in January because I had not kept up a healthy hair routine and wasn't getting any professional trims. So now I am recommitted to my regimen and to length retention. Thank you for sharing :)
Hi! I really appreciate you for watching and leaving a comment. 💞 3 inches is a lot, wow! Oh boy, isn’t a regimen critical? I guess our hair knows what it likes and gets used to it. I’m glad you’re back on track and on your way to getting those inches back. I can even tell when I don’t deep condition with heat. There’s a difference in my hair. Let’s both keep up our routines! 👍🏾
I LOVE your hair!! So pretty and so are you! I enjoyed listening to your hair journey. Transitioning is not an easy process. I once was texlaxed too. I’m also closer to 50...and I mean VERY close 😂😂 but my goal is to keep growing healthy hair. Thank you for this video!!
Your kindness means so much-- thank you!!! 💜💜 You have no idea how glad I am that I started my channel, because it took me a couple of years to finally do it. I’ve met wonderful ladies like you who are encouraging and supportive and we’re all on that same journey. 50 better watch out.....!!!! 🌹✨🌹
You just seem like such an awesome wonderful person. Kind of like my best friend in my head, lol I know if we were to meet we would hit it off and be the best of friends. You have a really good spirit and a very kind heart so thank you for sharing your hair journey with those over 40!
Friend! You’re the one who’s just awesome. I enjoyed chatting with you SO MUCH last night- omgosh. 🤗 Thank you for making time to support me here. It honestly means a lot to me. Yes, let’s be virtual besties! These days we need all the sincere friendship we can get. 🙌🏾 I appreciate you, girl! 💕
@@NaturallyCorporate Awwww, thanks!!! I must say you did such a great job with the games it was certainly entertaining and I definitely need it those laughs so that was a lot of fun. Of course I support other sisters who are out here doing the darn thing! 😊
I'm so glad I found your channel. I am a new subscriber. Great video and very helpful! Congratulations on your accomplishment! Your hair has thrived and it's long, healthy, and beautiful! You have just encouraged me to not get discouraged on this natural hair journey of mine after 40 when it doesn't seem possible. I do have one question...what porosity is your hair?
Hi!!! Please don’t be discouraged- I know it can be frustrating though. Hang in there!! I think my hair is low porosity. I did the ‘strand test’ once and mine floated near the top. I’m so glad you found my channel, too. Let’s keep each other encouraged. How do you currently wear your hair?
@@NaturallyCorporate I have been wearing it in protective styles, like braids and crotchets...but not really keeping it moisturized because I am new at this natural hair journey thong as far as how to take care of it and retain its length.
Your hair is beautiful wow! I think you took the natural hair journey YOU were meant to take, but TWAs are super cute. Idk what I would have done without crochet braids!
I'm glad I found your pg I'm 51 and I'm trying to grow these edges and make my hair thicker..right now it's cold I have my hair in braids and just wearing wigs
You got this! I'm glad you found my channel. too. :) I'm not an expert, but I recommend making sure your braids aren't too tight - especially around your edges. Even when I do crochet braids I never pull tight in that area. I keep my edges moisturized with oils, grease...any kind of cream or oil that I like. And be sure are rubbing your edges too much either. I'm so happy to see you!
Hi!!! So glad to see you. ☺️ I’ve tried rice water twice but just haven’t made anymore batches of it. How long have you been using it, how often and how to you apply yours?
NaturallyCorporate Hi! I’ve been using it for a month now and my hair has grown some. I try to use it everyday or every other day because it sprays on soo cold 🥶 but I try to have my heater on lol. I use 1 cup rice 🍚 and 2 cups water 💦 stir and set for 24 hrs. I just spray my hair very wet, massage in well and wrap my hair until dry.
Hi there. Your hair is beautiful. I am 48 and have been using protective styles for 3.5 years by accident, honestly. I started going to the gym and box braids were just easier to maintain. My hair is thick and healthy. I get the braids redone every 6 weeks. Do you color your hair? I am currently not. I’m over 50% grey which is crazy to me! I wonder what the impact is to natural hair.
Your hair looks so healthy!! I want to go natural but I’m so scared. I will definitely be using your advice to help me when I decide to take the journey.
Your hair is so beautiful 😍. My natural hair journey wasn’t an easy one either but once I got the hang of it I’ve been in love ever since. I may have to do a video on that journey 🤔lol.
Hi There!!! I really enjoyed your video. My daughter and I are trying to go natural as well. I do crochet braids on Me and my daughter's hair. But I do agree I need to go yo my beautician and let her cut me and my daughter's hair with the remaining strands of perm hair. We have stopped using the perm for about a year and we do the crochet braids which I like alot. We keep our scalp moisturized so it doesn't get dry. I would like to wish you and your family a Blessed and Wonderful Holiday season as well as a Blessed and Prosperous New Year. Tfs💖
Hi Stephanie! I agree, the transition can be a beast. When I finally got my mind right 😊and accepted the things I needed to do for my hair, things got better. I dedicated time time do my hair- mainly Friday nights and Saturdays. And yes, crochet braids! I’m hooked for life!! I just have to be careful when I install the ones in the back b/c my hair is fine and low density back there. I don’t want to pull it out. Happy holidays to you, your daughter and the whole family!! 🎄🎄 Thank you SO MUCH for watching and sharing your comment. 🌹🌹
Thanks for the info you shared my dear. I am 65 today and I am struggling to get my hair to grow. I also have the thyroid gland issue. I have been cutting and cutting my hair because that are dry an breaking too much. The edges are gone and the crown has bee gradually becoming bare like elupeacia. I have been following so many regimens and they seem not to be working for me. Yesterday I decided to relax my hair with a no lye kids relaxer. I am tired of wearing wigs and want to be natural. .
Happy Birthday Florence! Have you considered seeing a professional stylist that could maybe give you a fresh start? What made you decide to relax your hair if you really want to be natural? ✨
Wow, I'm glad that I found your channel. I have been natural for 10 yrs but I doesn't look like my hair is growing, I've measured it after my protective hoping to see a change in length but nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hi-I’m so glad you found my channel, too! Of course I’m not a professional at all, but I found that once I started being diligent with a routine my hair began to really thrive. I took my time and made it a priority to deep condition and do all the things I shared in my video. If you’re protective styling then you’re probably doing lots of other great things for your hair, too. Do you see a professional stylist as well?
Thank you for replying, No I haven't gone to an professional natural hairstylist, however I have done all the hair care treat regiments. Such as deep conditioning every time I washing my hair, being gentle with my hair by only finger detangling, sleeping with a satin cap. Been very consistent,I just don't get what I am doing wrong. I don't do twist out, but my hair is always in a protective style. I'm so confused.
💕Floria, I’m so happy for you- that’s GREAT news!! Our bodies can really play some games with us. Tell me about your hair... how do you wear it? How do you take care of it? I want details. 🥰🥰
@@NaturallyCorporate I'll wash it every 2wks due COVID19 I work in the nursing field I deep condition it once a month co wash I between cause I sweat so bad now I also moisture and seal that's helping it come back. I'm upset cause I always had hair but I'm braiding it up.
Hi Joyana! I apologize for the late response. A twistout is when I flat twist my hair (kind of like corn rows except it's twisted versus braided) let my hair dry then untwist it. The results are really pretty. I have some videos on my channel where I show my twistout styles. Maybe you can check them out. I appreciate you for watching!!
@@NaturallyCorporate I went natural and didn’t think I had to do anything else. Took me longer than you to figure out I was doing something wrong. I was natural for 3 years and my hair wasn’t growing. It used to grow out in 4 months before wearing all the wigs and weaves. Thyroids go through my family but I don’t have that condition. It made my first cousins eyes bulge while they were away at college.
Hey 👋🏾 and thanks for watching. These pics were taken years apart. I’d ever deceive my viewers - that’s not what I’m about. I’ve done a cpl of additional length update videos. Feel free to check them out. Take care.
My hair grows waist length. I'm over 40. Natural hair 4a texture high porosity. I used to be 3c before the gray hair started. I rarely use heat in the last 7 years. I color once every 2 months. My edges get gray very fast. Collagen peptides are good for hair growth. Protein.
Thanks for sharing!! I apologize for replying to late to your comment but I'm just now seeing it. I can imagine your hair is truly gorgeous!!!! And clearly you take excellent care of it for it to be waist length. :) How do you typically wear it?
@@NaturallyCorporate lately I typically wear it like Nettie 😂😂😂 (color purple) my routine is wash it on the 1st and braid out platts (pin about 10 up) until the end of the month. I wear it in a braid out for maybe 3 days per month if I take it down then wash day again. Aloe vera juice daily. Olive oil and shea moisture weekly. My favorite line is camille Rose. I typically re moisture on sundays during the month.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping your plaits in!! Your hair is loving what you do so keep on doing that. I’m really hoping to get to waist length by the end of the year. You’ve really motivated me. Now that warm weather is approaching I’ll be putting the flat iron away soon and going back to flat twist outs. My hair gets that constant moisture and really thrives with twist outs. Thank you for the conversation- this is what it’s all about. 💕😁✨

Thx SO MUCH for doing this video!! I'm 53 and started going natural about 5 years ago but i wasn't doing it right either. I didn't do the big chop, i wasn't eating right, i have an autoimmune disease, and then, i was under a lot of stress. Plus, i HATED drinking water.
Trying to find the right products was a chore too. My daughter went natural and the products she used didn't work for me. I started getting depressed. I had a heart attack last year, and started dealing with that by changing my diet and drinking water. I found two product lines that work really nice to keep my hair moisturized (Hydratherma Naturals and Shea Moisture). It took 5 years for me to grow my hair 4 inches but I've grown almost 5 inches in less than 9 months! I'm Amazed. My hair had even started to thin in the middle to the pount I barely had baby hair because I kept wearing ponytails. STOP DOUNG THAT LADIES! At least for a few months! I'm afraid to put heat on my hair but when i stretch it when its wet, so it's really long (past my shoulders mow even tjough it shrinks up very quickly). So, for any of you ladies who are like me, DONT GIVE UP.
Assess what you are doing (or NOT doing). HONESTLY. And make a new plan. If you can't do everything at once, do 3 things. If you can't do that, do one thing. If you can't do one, STOP doing something that's bad. Even that helps.
I always look at the comments on these hair videos and people say that their hair has grown but they NEVER say what they use.
Here's my list:
1. Hydratherma Naturals products:
a. Clarifying shampoo (full head)
b. Any conditioner (i use them all), OR Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Intensive conditioner (full head)
c. Follicle Mist (only on the scalp)
2. Shea moisture Leave in conditioner (only the day i wash it and I use it like you would if you wre greasing your scalp )
3. Grapeseed oil (because coconut oil left on my scalp makes me itch!). I put some on my entire head, lightly. Then, i put it only on the ends, daily.
4. Vitamin B6 (2x/week, 100mg. Made by Solgar)
5. Vitamin D3 (50,000 units, 1x/week). * get your levels checked FIRST! I only use this much because my levels are very low because of my autoimmune disease (Multiple Sclerosis).
6. A Slapcap (satin in the inside). I'll be honest: i MIGHT wear it 1x/month during the spring, summer, and fall but I wear one ilunder my winter hats at all times. Again, Im working on this!! We all got our trials. Lol.
7. No heat. My daughter does heat styles sometimes and her hair is down to her butt (and she started with a TWA). But i just want to wait a bit longer before i try that.
8. I wash my hair at least once/every two weeks. But try to wash it once/week.
9. I dont deep conditioning but that's next on the list!!
10. I use my fingers most of the time to untangle my hair and never comb or brush it if its not wet. I masshae my scalp with my fingers at least once a day for about a minute. It just feels good!
11. I use one of those combs that the Yao women use (the ladies who live in Asia and have really super long hair). You can buy it from their website. I've never used the "rice water treatment" but i might try it. They show you EXACTLY how to make it on their documentary.
12. I use one of those green brushes that look like it's a separated hand. You all know what I'm talking about.
13. I eat chicken, fish, shrimp. No pork but i will eat a hamburger or beef ribs every blue moon.
13. I mix oatmilk with 2% milk (half and half) for my cereal but use extra creamy oatmilk in any revipe that calls for milk or cream. Otherwise, I stay away from dairy. I eat vegan ice cream, vegan cheese, and plant butter. It REALLY DOES taste the same IF you buy the better products. I eat a piece of fruit and at least one vegetable every day.
14. I drink at least #4, 16 ounce glasses of water every day. I had to buy this water filter called WaterDrops to like drinking water. It has a charcoal filter and to me, taste so much better than that nasty Brita water. AND it's cheaper.
15. TMI: I have a bowel movement at least every day and a half.
16. I lowered my stress by writing, getting a cat, and letting my kids figure out their own problems. I let THEM do the thinking first!L, and if they need some extra advice, then i try to help.
And before you ask: No, I don't exercise. I hate it. But again, I'm working on doing that. I hate it, but just like finding the right hair products, I'll find the right type for me. I lowered my blood pressure (from high 180s/100s to low 130s/70s). I'm still working on that. My cholesterol has improved, and I take my meds EVERY DAY. They no longer make my scalp dry.
And last but certainly not least: I ask God to help me stay on track AND how to improve.
Sorry I made such a long comment but I hope this helps someone. Just like she's given me some very helpful tips to use to help MY hair journey. God Bless! And happy hair growth! ❤
Hiii!! I love long comments! Give me some time to read and reply. 🌺
Oh my goodness - where do I even begin?? :) I apologize this reply is so late. I was twisting my son's hair when your message came through the other day, and this is my first opportunity to get on my desktop computer. There's no way I could respond from my phone -- too much to say.
#1 - Your very last statement is where it all begins. God is awesome.
I won't address all your points, but it seems like you have your regimen down to a T. except for those few things you want to work on. I curious about the follicle mist, though. Is there a particular brand you use? I'd like to try that.
My scalp doesn't like coconut oil either -- itches like crazy. My hair loves grapeseed oil and argan oil. They're both very lightweight.
I'm SO HAPPY about your blood pressure and cholesterol --- whooh hoo! My friend you are doing such a fantastic job and you're diligent with EVERYTHING. Keep it up and know that you are not alone on your journey. I'm still your cheerleader and I'm glad you're mine, too!
I sincerely appreciate you leaving an informative comment and sharing what you're found works for you. I'm sure others will find it helpful as I did.
@NaturallyCorporate Aww, ty. It's been tough (the health thing, I mean), but I try as hard as I can.
OK, the follicle mist I use is by Hydratherma Naturals. I only use it once a month after I wash my hair to add my deep conditioning process. I use it because I have low porosity hair (products have a tough time breaking through my follicle to do their job, so this does the job for me (especially since i don't use any kind of steamer). Some people use a steamer, and it does the same thing; I just prefer not to use heat in any form. If you use it, make sure you have low or normal porosity hair (not high) as it opens up your follicles even more (which high porosity hair doesn't need help to do). Plus, any products you use afterward if you have high porosity hair may irritate the scalp. People say you can use it on dry hair, but since I'm massaging my scalp after I use this and before doing my deep conditioning treatment, I only put it on wet hair to prevent breakage. And put it on your SCALP, NOT your hair!! Otherwise, your hair will get hard. I rub it in and let it sit for about 5 minutes. THEN, I do all of my other stuff so my products can get down into my roots. After the time I need to deep condition is up, I rinse everything out. And use a slightly cooler than lukewarm rinse to seal everything back up. You've allowed the cuticles to be open long enough for the leave-in conditioner (also only applied to the roots) to do THEIR job.
I think if people learned their hair porosity, they could pick the right products for their hair. Learning your hair porosity is as simple as dropping a piece of hair in a glass of water! Free! And I love free!
I am 70 and my hair is fine like yours, and during COVID 2020; my hair was twisted up, no color for most of the year. My daughter got married in March 2021 and I colored it and straighten it out. My hair has never been this long. I do take vitamins and green smoothies daily. I did have some shedding for awhile. Like you I am enjoying my long hair on my way to waist length in my 70’s
Hi Nan!! Oh my gosh, your hair has really been thriving!!!!! I bet it is absolutely gorgeous, too. With it being twisted up it was just quietly getting longer and longer. 😁 How did you wear your hair for your daughter’s wedding? 💗
Amazing
Thank you for making this video. I am in my 50's and I am growing my hair. I keep my hair in cornrows for three months at a time. Mine is growing. There is no age limit on growing your hair. The truth is in the way you take care of it.
✨✨Hi there!!! I’m so happy you viewed my video and found some value. You said it! It’s the way we take care of our hair. It’s true! For me, I have to set aside the time and do all the things I feel will benefit my hair. And I enjoy that time b/c it’s for ME. ☺️ I appreciate you for backing up what I shared, and hopefully other women will see your comment.
While your hair is in corn rows, do you shampoo it?
I just turned 51 and I'm growing out my hair. It's growing well. I also take Collagen and MSM though. I'm relaxed and my hair is healthy.
Hi!!!! Happy belated birthday my friend✨✨. I’m so happy your hair is thriving! MSM is a powder, right?
I take collagen, too.
Hi just came across your page through another RUclipsr, I am 52 and will be 53 in a month and going through menopause. My hair is not thriving and been using different products, would like to know what is MSM, is it a supplement?
Thank you for being a cheerleader for the natural women over 40 that want to grow long healthy natural hair. I appreciate your videos
Hiiii, and THANK YOU for being next to me on our cheer squad! 🥰🙌🏾 I’m so glad you took the time to watch. I appreciate you, too. Happy New Year!!
YOU GO GIRL, NOTHING LIKE A HUMBLE PERSON.
I appreciate you!! ✨✨
I'm almost 60 and have been back on this journey for 12 years. The first two times that I went back natural, I was in my 30s. Anyway, on this current journey I was doing good until about 2-3 years ago when I got lazy on taking care of my hair. I didn't revert back to relaxers but I also wasn't giving my hair the best care like I needed to. Thanks to some much younger friends who keep asking me for tips for their hair or their child's hair (they think my hair looks great), I've decided that I needed to start back giving my hair some TLC. So, I've started back watching videos, again. While I appreciate all the videos from the younger RUclipsrs, I miss all of the folks from 12 years ago that I use to follow who were nearer to my age and who seem to have disappeared from You Tube. Looking forward to watching your videos / following your channel as I get my hair back to a healthy state.
Mavis, I'm so glad you stopped by! It's very nice to meet you. I do simple hair styles on my channel - - meaning other than crochet braids here and there, I primarily do twistouts. Lately I've sprinkled in some wigs but it was just a brief Summer Wig series. I get my hair trimmed professionally every 3-5 months, and that's also when my stylist can let me know how my hair is looking. Honestly, I'm greedy. I want health AND length. :) LOL I know that health is what's most important, but I'm a girly girl at heart and I want long hair. So, for as long as it will grow I will be grateful for it. I also have thyroid disease and I shared a video about how it affects my hair. I'm truly just glad my hair seems to be thriving right now. I baby it and really try to be gentle with it. Again, I'm delighted that you took the time to watch my video and leave a comment. I post a video every Friday @ 6:15pm Eastern and sometimes I throw in an extra video if I have time. See you next time!
Your hair is literally the definition of length goals! It looks so good it's natural curly state and straight!
You are so kind! I’m so happy to see you here. ✨
You are not alone. When I went natural in 2010 I too thought it would do what it was supposed to do because it was natural. I never deep conditioned, moisturized, etc. Not since 2018, I've learned. It truly is a journey.
Hi there! When we know better we do better. 🙂 It’s definitely a learning process. Even now I still learn new things about how my hair behaves.
Your curls are beautiful and long. That's how I used to wear my hair when I would go to the salon. I am 56 and I have noticed that my hair is not growing as fast as it did when I was in my 40's. Which now I'm on medication for my low platelets which can be a part of my slow growth. As you said I am thankful that I have hair. Thank you for sharing and nice video.
Hey there! Mine isn't growing as fast either and I'm okay with it. I'm thankful to have hair for as long as I'm fortunate enough to have it. I appreciate you, my friend!
Your journey is awesome and inspiring. I too am in my 40's and I'm still trying to learn how to maintain length properly and healthy. I struggle with my crown. Recently I abused using aloe vera plant and it broke my hair off up top. Trail and error🤔🙄 Trying to grow it back. Any who your hair is beautiful and its definitely thriving 🤩🤩 Thanks for sharing and stay blessed 😇
🌺Hi there, I’m so glad you stopped by! I had no idea aloe Vera could be damaging. That’s so interesting. My crown gives me fits, too.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. 💕
At nearly 54 I frequently get asked if I have hair extensions because I have tons of hair that will grow to any length I desire including halfway down my back if I want. My tips: I've never had a hair weave or extensions of any sort., I've never braided my hair much less tightly, I limit blow dryers and hot tools to 3x week. While I relax it every 8 weeks I don't also bleach it and add in a bunch of funky colors. I exercise regularly. Balanced diet.
I don't buy expensive shampoos. It's my belief that frying your hair and bleaching and over weaving it... there is no shampoo that's going to counteract that effectively. Love your video 🌷.
I'm so sorry for just now replying. I read your message several days ago but I was working and couldn't reply at the time. It sounds like you have some amazing hair, my friend! That's awesome and very encouraging. Thank you so much for watching!
Wow, your hair is gorgeous. Keep everyone motivated
Thanks Ashley! I t try. 🥰
Yes I don’t thinks there is any age limit to growing your hair thanks for sharing and encouraging others and you look so beautiful ☺️
Thanks Ada! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for this! I am approaching 40 and I want to continue to grow my hair as I age. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your story! You are a beautiful sister! God bless you! ❤❤
👋🏾Hi Mia! You are so kind and I sincerely appreciate your words. 🌻☺️
Actually, I have a follow-up video that I recorded the following year. Take a look at that one, too, if you’d like. Thank you again for commenting.
@@NaturallyCorporate I did look at that video right after! ❤️ Your hair is gorgeous! I am so grateful for you!! Keep going sis!! Your journey is blessing all of us!
🙌🏾🌻🌻🌻🌻
You and your hair are absolutely beautiful! This is really encouraging because I just turned 40 this year and was worried my window to reach my hair goals was slowly closing. Side note, I think I may have been in the same hair growth study you mentioned. It really opened my eyes that my retention wasn’t where it needed to be. I know this is an old video but I just found your channel so I’m binge watching 😂. Thanks again
I have that same fear… that my growth will slow down and I may not handle it well. That’s why I deep condition regularly and keep my hair regimen simple. 😳
I’ve learned my hair and I know that - thank goodness - it doesn’t require a lot of ‘extra.’ So do everything you can to treat it right and hopefully the growth you want will come. 👍🏾
My hair started to shed at 40 of course i thought nothing of it! Right. Now 46 my hair is thin short and dry! I come here to see what i can do to regain my growth and healthy look. Hey aging don't come. With a roadmap! Thank goodness for RUclips and women willing to share their journey.
Hi my friend. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with shedding, dryness, etc. Unfortunately, it may be hormonal. Have you considered seeing a dermatologist to see if there is anything that can help? Are you seeing a styling regularly to see what he/she says?
@@NaturallyCorporate , Hi! Thanks for taking the time to reply back to my comment!🤗
However I actually seen my doctor today for some blood work to see what's going on with this 40 plus body!.. Keep you updated..
Very good! I’ll look to hear an update. 🙏🏾
Your hair is sooo stunning! I am in my early 30s but I can say that it is so useful to know this information early on in my journey. Thank you for making this video with these great tips Beauty!!! 💛💛
Thank you friend!! shared my story to inspire others, and hopefully I’ve succeeded. If only I’d known back then what I know now... smh... my hair just might be a beautiful beast. Lol. You’re already doing all the right things- I know b/c of your channel content. You have nothing to worry about. 🌹
Thanks so much for the video!! Rah rah rah!! Go grow, LOL!!
Aww, thank you cheerleader 📣!! I appreciate you so much. 🤗🤗
Twist outs and length retention are like sisters, best friends and peanut butter & jelly! My go to style and I (like you) am living in gratitude for my growth;)
I'm definitely sharing this video!
I love everything you said- 🥰👍🏾. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate you so much.
😂😂😂same here, I never go to bed without my satin scarf and I have satin pillow cases but still won’t do it lol. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing some of your journey with us, it’s not an easy one buts it’s definitely worth it.
Girl, the hair-on-pillow situation is so serious!!! 😊 Thanks for the kind words. 🧚🏾♀️
Your Hair is very long and so Beautiful as well as you! Show it off. I'm not mad. Lol. Thanks for sharing💙
🤗Girl! Totally not showing off- lol. I have thyroid disease which can turn my hair world upside down in a flash. 🤞🏾 I appreciate you-- ty!!
Sis! I think we’re about to be good friends. I’m over 40 as well & attempting to grow my hair long. I’ve been on my natural hair journey for many years, but haven’t gotten past a certain length. I’m trying a lot of natural products now, and seeing a big difference. Thanks for sharing! Your hair is gorgeous btw💞
C’mon now! Let’s do this. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’re bound to notice a difference. I’m so happy you stopped by!
Your hair is beautiful!!! Just found your channel - what a blessing. Please keep sharing your hair journey and experience. Been natural for 11+ years. Trying to get over the hump and acquire longer hair.
Thank you! Will do! I appreciate you SO much, I really do. Wow--11 years. That's a long time. I'd love to know more about your hair. How do you normally wear it and what are some of your favorite products?
Hey babe! You’re hair looks so HEALTHY ✨ I did a big chop maybe 4 years ago and it was the best decision I could’ve made. I love how you kept such good track of your journey. Great video ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Lauren, thank you! I’m so glad you stopped by. 🌹 Wow, and look how long and amazing your hair is now. I never would’ve know you big chopped. 👍🏾
Wow, your hair is beautiful and so are you. You are definitely an inspiration and I’m definitely subscribing. I’m 43 and it’s awesome to see someone in my age group that proves that healthy hair is obtainable at any age😊
Hiiii! It’s nice to meet you. ☺️ Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment for me. Social media is saturated with younger creators, which is great. BUT… the 40+ demographic exists, too! And we’re beautiful, foxy, glamorous, etc., and we take care of our hair as well. I slacked big time on my trims last year and had to get a cpl of inches trimmed in December. I expected it. I was really hoping 🤞🏾 to be near waist length at my hair’s longest point, but I’ve got a little bit linger ways to go now. And it’s fine.
So, let’s be each other’s cheerleaders 📣!! We got this. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Thank you for haring this. I have had hair challenges and I am just over 50. My hair doesn't seem to be growing well at all and a couple of years ago I even had bald spots in many places. There is hope. Your hair is lovely
Hi there!! I’m so glad you found my channel. I’m sorry to hear about your bald spots. How did you combat them? I know that had to be very frustrating.
Im in my 50s type 4c and my hair slow grow due to DNA, hormones, and environmental stress... Its june 2020. My goal is thick and healthy hair. Im sure growth will come... consistency is key once u find a routine that wrks for u(individual)..tfs ur tips and experience.
Hi! I’m so glad to hear from you. You’re exactly right- routine is key. What are some things you’re planning to do to get the results you want? Thank you so much for watching.
@@NaturallyCorporate to answer ur question....honestly ione have a clue. Perhaps I'll just keep doing wut I've been doing which is washing every 2 wks, deep conditioning and oiling my scalp. U know the ole skool things our mom/grandma did. I wid love to have a rapid hair growth. As u know not all things wrk for everbody. Its like Algebra and solve for the unknown variable and when u find one that wrk stick with it. Im not a product junkie plus profucts now cists way too much. Therefore i stick with the old skool way...
Your hair looks beautiful and in really good condition and I would never of guessed you were over 40
Thanks for sharing
Aww why thank you! I really appreciate you so much for watching. Oh yes... I’m definitely over 40. 😇
I love that you are so open to trying new looks!! I need to branch out more!
I try, especially now. I can be a bit more adventurous. 😃
Your hair looks great and it is long.
Hi 🙋🏾♀️! Thank you so much.
This is the video that got me watching your videos. It gives me realistic expectations. It’s so honest.
I’ll be 39 in October. I’ve always had my hair texlaxed; it just wasn’t labeled in the nineties. I went 100% natural in 2005. I think that hormonal changes after 35 AND having children after 35 has changed my hair. Learning from you is really helpful. I swear my hair looks just like yours when it’s straight and curly. I’m sure there are subtle differences but it’s similar enough. Thank you for the time you put in. Please keep posting. If you ever want to try something to make a video about I’ll be happy to try it out with you.
I’m going to do henna and indigo in two weeks for the first time. I’ll let you know how it goes for me.
Feedback like yours is what inspires me to keep creating content. I am a very real and down to earth person with the same daily life challenges as other moms & wives may have. I’m the lady next door. ☺️. Underneath it all I’m just a ‘girl’ who wants to look my best. Let me know about the henna & indigo. I have no experience w/ henna at all, but I’ve heard it can change your curl pattern (May or may not be true- just sharing). I’ll definitely let you know when I try something else. I REALLY appreciate you! 💕💕✨✨
NaturallyCorporate, your down to Earth vibe comes off flawlessly. Keep creating. I don’t know what it takes to get a huge following but I like what you do. It suits you but is also adaptive and informative. I bet your corporate background seeps into your videos in some way too.
I’ve been leery of henna since I first learned of it. That was three years ago. I got my hair back to being at least moisturized consistently because I use diy herbal oils and butters. I also you tea rinses and spritz.
Knowing that Aruvedya works I’m confident I’ll get a good result from my henna and indigo treatment. I want the strengthening benefits the Lawson dye adds from henna. I have a few grays that I adore but I’d rather use indigo to make them darker brown opposed to orange. I’ve been researching for three years a practice that’s been around for centuries. What can go wrong? I’ve done an allergy test so I know I’ll live. I will keep you posted on my henna treatment.
Your hair color is beautiful as is. I have simple jet black hair so I don’t think the henna/indigo dye will do too much. If you’re interested you should try some of the other herbs that don’t release dye to protect your natural color.
Hello! I told you I’d let you know how the henna treatment went. It’s absolutely wonderful. There are some cons but the pros far out weigh them. The worst parts is it’s messy and time consuming. It took a few tries and a clogged drain to get a system together that minimized both time and mess. My hair is so nice after just four treatments. (I’ve done 2 glosses then 2 full henna masks in the past three weeks. Only the last mask I consider successful so I’m not experiencing any set backs. I’ll try to post my 30s video with before and after pictures. Please take a look if you have a chance and let me know what you think. I like it a lot and my hair feels great!! I’m still working on my seafood pasta video. Turns out I’m a much better chef than I am a camera person, in front or behind, and video editor. But I have time to learn so I’ll take advantage.
I’m glad to hear the henna was successful!! You go girl. 👍🏾 So, is the gloss something completely different? And does it give your brilliance & shine?
Lol. Your editing skills will come in time. If the content is on point then you’re good to go. 🤗
I am 48 and need a natural hair cheerleader that understands a mature women’s challenge growing healthy hair 💆🏽♀️.
I’m your girl, Roz! 📣 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Were right there together girl. ☺️🥰
Your hair is so beautiful and healthy. I appreciate you sharing what you do and the helpful tips. Merry Christmas!!
Hi Evelyn! Thank you so much for the compliments. Your kindness really means a lot to me! 🌹
Thank you so much. That was an excellent, encouraging, and informative video. Thank you for sharing both your experience and your regimen that has worked for you. I recently had to cut off about 3 inches of my natural hair back in January because I had not kept up a healthy hair routine and wasn't getting any professional trims. So now I am recommitted to my regimen and to length retention. Thank you for sharing :)
Hi! I really appreciate you for watching and leaving a comment. 💞 3 inches is a lot, wow! Oh boy, isn’t a regimen critical? I guess our hair knows what it likes and gets used to it. I’m glad you’re back on track and on your way to getting those inches back. I can even tell when I don’t deep condition with heat. There’s a difference in my hair. Let’s both keep up our routines! 👍🏾
I LOVE your hair!! So pretty and so are you! I enjoyed listening to your hair journey. Transitioning is not an easy process. I once was texlaxed too. I’m also closer to 50...and I mean VERY close 😂😂 but my goal is to keep growing healthy hair. Thank you for this video!!
Your kindness means so much-- thank you!!! 💜💜 You have no idea how glad I am that I started my channel, because it took me a couple of years to finally do it. I’ve met wonderful ladies like you who are encouraging and supportive and we’re all on that same journey. 50 better watch out.....!!!! 🌹✨🌹
Thanks for sharing your journey. Your hair is beautiful!!!
Thanks Janel! 🌹🌹
Your hair looks amazing gf. I have been natural for awhile but i am tired of the maintenance
Hey honey girl! Ty!! How long have you been natural, and did u big chop? I always like to hear about other people’s experiences. ✨✨🎄🎄
your hair looks so silky, thank you I am still in my twenties but this was still so helpful
Good I’m glad! If I know what I know now... smh ☺️
You just seem like such an awesome wonderful person. Kind of like my best friend in my head, lol I know if we were to meet we would hit it off and be the best of friends. You have a really good spirit and a very kind heart so thank you for sharing your hair journey with those over 40!
Friend! You’re the one who’s just awesome. I enjoyed chatting with you SO MUCH last night- omgosh. 🤗 Thank you for making time to support me here. It honestly means a lot to me.
Yes, let’s be virtual besties! These days we need all the sincere friendship we can get. 🙌🏾 I appreciate you, girl! 💕
@@NaturallyCorporate Awwww, thanks!!! I must say you did such a great job with the games it was certainly entertaining and I definitely need it those laughs so that was a lot of fun. Of course I support other sisters who are out here doing the darn thing! 😊
I'm so glad I found your channel. I am a new subscriber. Great video and very helpful! Congratulations on your accomplishment! Your hair has thrived and it's long, healthy, and beautiful! You have just encouraged me to not get discouraged on this natural hair journey of mine after 40 when it doesn't seem possible. I do have one question...what porosity is your hair?
Hi!!! Please don’t be discouraged- I know it can be frustrating though. Hang in there!! I think my hair is low porosity. I did the ‘strand test’ once and mine floated near the top.
I’m so glad you found my channel, too. Let’s keep each other encouraged. How do you currently wear your hair?
@@NaturallyCorporate I have been wearing it in protective styles, like braids and crotchets...but not really keeping it moisturized because I am new at this natural hair journey thong as far as how to take care of it and retain its length.
Thank you for this post and for cheerleading!
Hi! Thank you & pleasure!🌟
Your hair is beautiful wow! I think you took the natural hair journey YOU were meant to take, but TWAs are super cute. Idk what I would have done without crochet braids!
🔊Shoutout to crochet 🧶 braids! Once I do 1 crochet install it’s like I can’t stop. I feel it coming, too.
I'm glad I found your pg I'm 51 and I'm trying to grow these edges and make my hair thicker..right now it's cold I have my hair in braids and just wearing wigs
You got this! I'm glad you found my channel. too. :) I'm not an expert, but I recommend making sure your braids aren't too tight - especially around your edges. Even when I do crochet braids I never pull tight in that area. I keep my edges moisturized with oils, grease...any kind of cream or oil that I like.
And be sure are rubbing your edges too much either. I'm so happy to see you!
I'm catching up on all your videos, love hairstyle!
Hi friend, thank you!!!
Your hair is soo pretty and yes it’s long to me. I’m trying to grow my hair and I’ve given up until I started doing the rice water.
Hi!!! So glad to see you. ☺️ I’ve tried rice water twice but just haven’t made anymore batches of it. How long have you been using it, how often and how to you apply yours?
NaturallyCorporate Hi! I’ve been using it for a month now and my hair has grown some. I try to use it everyday or every other day because it sprays on soo cold 🥶 but I try to have my heater on lol. I use 1 cup rice 🍚 and 2 cups water 💦 stir and set for 24 hrs. I just spray my hair very wet, massage in well and wrap my hair until dry.
Hi there. Your hair is beautiful. I am 48 and have been using protective styles for 3.5 years by accident, honestly. I started going to the gym and box braids were just easier to maintain. My hair is thick and healthy. I get the braids redone every 6 weeks. Do you color your hair? I am currently not. I’m over 50% grey which is crazy to me! I wonder what the impact is to natural hair.
your hair is thick and beautiful keep it up.
Thank you so much!! 😃
Thank you for your commitment to Beauty, Gorgeous lady.
This is/was quite the journey.
Thanks lady!!
Your hair looks so healthy!! I want to go natural but I’m so scared. I will definitely be using your advice to help me when I decide to take the journey.
There’s nothing to fear my dear☺️. If/when you’re ready, you’ll know the time is right. 🌹
Your hair is very healthy.
Thank you 🙏🏾 Anita😁
Your hair is beautiful and healthy!! Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter is my favorite styler, too!! I need to try a flat twistout. 😊❤
Your hair is so beautiful 😍. My natural hair journey wasn’t an easy one either but once I got the hang of it I’ve been in love ever since. I may have to do a video on that journey 🤔lol.
Hey friend! Yes, you SHOULD share your journey. There’s someone who will benefit from seeing it. 👍🏾
And thank you!! ☺️
Thank you do much i am going naturel in 2021 January and i will die all your tips ...blessings to you greetings from Suriname in South-America
Great video and tips!
Thank you for sharing.
Hi there! I’m so happy you watched my video. I hope there was some value in it for you. Thank you!!
This is a great video..really enjoy this video
Thanks friend! I’m soooo happy to see you. 🌹🌹🌹
Hi There!!! I really enjoyed your video. My daughter and I are trying to go natural as well. I do crochet braids on Me and my daughter's hair. But I do agree I need to go yo my beautician and let her cut me and my daughter's hair with the remaining strands of perm hair. We have stopped using the perm for about a year and we do the crochet braids which I like alot. We keep our scalp moisturized so it doesn't get dry. I would like to wish you and your family a Blessed and Wonderful Holiday season as well as a Blessed and Prosperous New Year. Tfs💖
Hi Stephanie! I agree, the transition can be a beast. When I finally got my mind right 😊and accepted the things I needed to do for my hair, things got better. I dedicated time time do my hair- mainly Friday nights and Saturdays. And yes, crochet braids! I’m hooked for life!! I just have to be careful when I install the ones in the back b/c my hair is fine and low density back there. I don’t want to pull it out. Happy holidays to you, your daughter and the whole family!! 🎄🎄 Thank you SO MUCH for watching and sharing your comment. 🌹🌹
Thanks for the info you shared my dear. I am 65 today and I am struggling to get my hair to grow. I also have the thyroid gland issue. I have been cutting and cutting my hair because that are dry an breaking too much. The edges are gone and the crown has bee gradually becoming bare like elupeacia. I have been following so many regimens and they seem not to be working for me.
Yesterday I decided to relax my hair with a no lye kids relaxer. I am tired of wearing wigs and want to be natural. .
Happy Birthday Florence!
Have you considered seeing a professional stylist that could maybe give you a fresh start? What made you decide to relax your hair if you really want to be natural? ✨
I did the big chop 6 months in because the relaxed and natural wouldn’t play together. I always wear a bonnet to sleep with my satin pillow 😁.
Nope- those textures don’t play well at all 😂😂
It looks beautiful and Healthy!
Thanks friend! You are so kind. Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁
Wow, I'm glad that I found your channel. I have been natural for 10 yrs but I doesn't look like my hair is growing, I've measured it after my protective hoping to see a change in length but nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hi-I’m so glad you found my channel, too! Of course I’m not a professional at all, but I found that once I started being diligent with a routine my hair began to really thrive. I took my time and made it a priority to deep condition and do all the things I shared in my video. If you’re protective styling then you’re probably doing lots of other great things for your hair, too. Do you see a professional stylist as well?
Thank you for replying, No I haven't gone to an professional natural hairstylist, however I have done all the hair care treat regiments. Such as deep conditioning every time I washing my hair, being gentle with my hair by only finger detangling, sleeping with a satin cap. Been very consistent,I just don't get what I am doing wrong. I don't do twist out, but my hair is always in a protective style. I'm so confused.
GREAT INFORMATION. WELL DONE FOR TRANSITIONING IN 2017.
Love this video!
Thanks my dear!! 💛
Your hair looks amazing!! New subbie 💕

Merci! Vous êtes une inspiration et une très belle femme.
You're beautiful. I wanna look like you when I'm over 40!
You are beautiful thank you for sharing...God bless.
Hi my friend- thank you!
I’m almost at forty but these tips are good for any age.
Hey Laura! I appreciate you for thinking that way. I agree- nothing I do is out of the ordinary and everything is pretty basic. ✨✨
BTW you don’t look near 40 AT ALL. ✨
Are you Here in 2021?Who?
nice video :)
Thanks Leyo!
Your makeup 😍
Awww thank you my friend!
omg!! my hair fell out due to hormone change i had a hysterectomy!! i'm over 50 also it's growing back thicker and different texture
💕Floria, I’m so happy for you- that’s GREAT news!! Our bodies can really play some games with us. Tell me about your hair... how do you wear it? How do you take care of it? I want details. 🥰🥰
@@NaturallyCorporate I'll wash it every 2wks due COVID19 I work in the nursing field I deep condition it once a month co wash I between cause I sweat so bad now I also moisture and seal that's helping it come back. I'm upset cause I always had hair but I'm braiding it up.
Keep doing you’re doing and treat your hair like a baby. That’s practically what I do. ☺️
@@NaturallyCorporate I will keep you updated cause I'm moving from Baltimore to Florida in March 2021. Thanks for being our Cheerleader!!!💞💞💞
Be safe! I look forward to keeping in touch.
What is a twist out
Hi Joyana! I apologize for the late response. A twistout is when I flat twist my hair (kind of like corn rows except it's twisted versus braided) let my hair dry then untwist it. The results are really pretty. I have some videos on my channel where I show my twistout styles. Maybe you can check them out.
I appreciate you for watching!!
I went through the same thing!
Hi! I'm so happy to see you! Did you experience hair thinning or thyroid disease? I'd love to hear more about your hair.
@@NaturallyCorporate I went natural and didn’t think I had to do anything else. Took me longer than you to figure out I was doing something wrong. I was natural for 3 years and my hair wasn’t growing.
It used to grow out in 4 months before wearing all the wigs and weaves.
Thyroids go through my family but I don’t have that condition. It made my first cousins eyes bulge while they were away at college.
Oh yes- me and you both just letting our poor hair get all dried out 😄. Well, now we know better. 🙌🏾
If you really look at the picture of your hair is long you just press it out so I look longer
Hey 👋🏾 and thanks for watching. These pics were taken years apart. I’d ever deceive my viewers - that’s not what I’m about. I’ve done a cpl of additional length update videos. Feel free to check them out. Take care.
You are Beautiful and you look like you are in your 30s
Oh my gosh, I appreciate that! But nooo.... far from 30. Thank you got watching and commenting. 💐
My hair grows waist length. I'm over 40. Natural hair 4a texture high porosity. I used to be 3c before the gray hair started. I rarely use heat in the last 7 years. I color once every 2 months. My edges get gray very fast. Collagen peptides are good for hair growth. Protein.
Thanks for sharing!! I apologize for replying to late to your comment but I'm just now seeing it.
I can imagine your hair is truly gorgeous!!!! And clearly you take excellent care of it for it to be waist length. :) How do you typically wear it?
@@NaturallyCorporate lately I typically wear it like Nettie 😂😂😂 (color purple) my routine is wash it on the 1st and braid out platts (pin about 10 up) until the end of the month. I wear it in a braid out for maybe 3 days per month if I take it down then wash day again. Aloe vera juice daily. Olive oil and shea moisture weekly. My favorite line is camille Rose. I typically re moisture on sundays during the month.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping your plaits in!! Your hair is loving what you do so keep on doing that. I’m really hoping to get to waist length by the end of the year. You’ve really motivated me. Now that warm weather is approaching I’ll be putting the flat iron away soon and going back to flat twist outs. My hair gets that constant moisture and really thrives with twist outs.
Thank you for the conversation- this is what it’s all about. 💕😁✨
You look don't a day over 28!
