Right it's the best method ever. And you know it's good too to put in your hair cucumber water from Garnier. It's a leave-in conditioner treatment. That's what I use and just continue doing the same routine. My hair grew it's at 10 in right now I want to get to 12 and I'm good👍🏽
YES!!!!! I wore block braids for 6 months straight in 2023. Took down 1 random braid once a month to monitor hair/scalp health. I washed every week. Deep conditioned. I will say take down process took a month. I went slow and took my time...6 months of matted hair. I gained 5.5 inches!! Doing it again in June.
@@nondumisogasser7155 yep. I put my hair in medium-small twists. I coat the ends with my favorite edge control. That keeps my ends in tact. I wash them, concentrating on my scalp, and condition them, concentrating on my hair. I make a braid spray of aloe vera juice, Infusium 23, and vegetable glycerin to keep them moisturized. I redo a section of them every couple of weeks. And I take them down one twist at a time, clean up the parts, and retwist them. I think maintaining the original parts is important because it dramatically reduces breakage. Hope this helps.
Did this with individual two strand twists after having done the plaits and it achieved the same results, less time during the take down. Both methods work great though. 🎉❤❤❤
Yes!!! I’m with you girl! 👏👏 Plaits are doing wonders for my hair and I don’t care what anybody thinks about them. I’m like holla back when my hair is down my back! 😅 You’re doing great Sis! 🌸💕
I started mine a year ago & I definitely seen growth too. But I need to create the shirt too 😭 & the ones saying "why do you wash your braids" the REAL question is WHY DON'T YOU?! Looking good queen 😩🥰
THANKS GUH!!!!!!! .... also, when I was first asked why I wash my braids, I was confusedddddddddddd but I realize that many of use were taught not to do it. Or never thought to do it cause "dirty hair grows" lol the things we've been feed growing up is crazy, but I'm glad we're learning
Using the Revair on cool after deep conditioning with the Shea moisture Amla masque?? GAME CHANGER for my hair, so glad I found your page, everything you’ve suggested has been so helpful!!
I’ve had large plats in my hair for 8 years now and it’s at waist length! They truly work and I’ve always washed my braids! It just takes longer bcse you have to ensure you get the shampoo through the braids to remove dirt and oil..
@@SharatiaBanks thank you! And i meant to compliment you on your dedication also! My plats are big though (bcse I’m lazy 😂😂😂) it went from 12 to now 8. You got this, just keep up with your dedication and regimen! ❤️❤️
Just finished redoing mine last night and they’re bout the same size as yours! I’m excited. I wanted better parts so I took the whole thing down and blew it out to have neater parts since you can see my scalp easier and omg… I got so much new grown in just those three weeks of having my previous set in! I’m like a half inch away from waist length in the back and past my armpit in the front!!! I’ve have been at a plateau for a year now. IM SOO HAPPYYYY❤❤❤❤
Thank you love!!! It’s exciting! Thank you for sharing your routine to help me. Honestly would’ve never tried mini braids before wayching your videos 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾💕
Yes!! I keep telling people plats and mini twist are great for length retention, and easy to moisturize. I buzzed my hair 1 year ago after having a platinum fade for awhile. My hair has grown soooooo much once it got to a length where I could twist it.
I have fine 2c hair and I agree that braids really are the best protective style, i now put my hair in two braids after wash days and it has significantly reduced the split ends and damage I had, it's also so much easier to detangle
Corn row and plats, I just feel like the plats are easier to care for them the corn rows, I feel like the scalp gets cleaner and the moisture gets into the shafts better !
Sooo here i am again! Fist pumping for you washing your braids!!! I maintained my length because of this and it makes it great to get to your scalp! I did the same years ago when i had extensions! I’m from the other video you posted previously and i see the growth!!! ❤❤❤❤
I love love your routine🥰. I too see super growth when my hair is in single braids. Going to start deep conditioning my hair every week too to help thicken my hair, due to neglect during postpartum with twins, sucked the thickness out of my strands 😩but getting there. Thanks for your video’s , they are so helpful 🤗
I remember 20 something years ago keeping my double strand twisted locks small and pulled back under my military fatigue hat best growth ever this is why I just started box braids again
Yes happy dance!!! How affirming!! Currently doing this with twists! I even twist the ends up the twist to keep them off my shoulders because my hair is so long 😅 Its been great for moisture and length retention ✨
Beautiful! I love it for you 😍. I have triiiied but my hair is like 🚫 when I try and wash my hair in braids. "Matte City Chick" 😂 it'll get soo matted even upon thorough detangling and a recent rebraid. However I gotta figure something out bc your results, and many others following this protocol are too good, lovely 😍
@@SharatiaBanks heyy yes loose twists are less prone to matting for me when I wash in them. I can be on the safe side when I cleanse w/ something like a cleansing cowash.
Omg same. My hair doesn’t not like being washed in braids like this. I’ve come to that realization when it took me hours to remove the plaits and how tangled my hair got (which always has happened). 😅 Gotta find another style
I do this too!!!! But with twists. I’m currently 9 months into twists all 2024. I don’t get breakage either and retwist them every 6 weeks. I oil them 1-2 times a Week ( the oil is thick and I live in a humid /tropical climate ) . I deep condition and use a shampoo bar to ensure I really get my scalp. Thanks for sharing. It is very motivational to know that I am not alone in this same style all 2024 in the name of length retention 🥰🥰
I do my daughter hair like this and her hair is almost to tail length.. I do crochet braids to switch up her style plus she’s tender headed to those styles give her the best growth and length retention ♥️ you have beautiful hair ❤
Yeah it's really effective!♥️ I do this but with two strand twists because I'm too lazy to braid that much and I really hate the process of unbraiding lol But I have to re do more frequently because twists won't last like braids
Your hair won’t loc even if you left them in for the year. It takes braids a VERY long time to loc, the longest time actually so if anyone reading this was thinking about starting the journey but was on the fence, starting with braids might be best for you cos if you change your mind you can take them out more easily.
Oh wow! I was telling my hubby yesterday that when I’m ready to loc I was gonna start them off as plaits 🤣 that’s amazing.. although I wonder about the roots then . Surely that’ll loc
@@jinx526 Yes my hair ! 2 weeks with a protective style and I have matted hair, big knots everywhere. And if I wet my hair with braids in, boom, instantly.
Yuppp!!! Well done sis! The way our mama’s did our hair was top tier!! Just the difference is that I know how to moisturize it well now, combine that witht the plaits and BANGGG
I've been wanting to do this! Just have to wait until my hair is actually long enough to braid (it's a twa) but it seems like the ideal hairstyle for health, growth and efficient care! I'mma take this as a sign from the universe
Beautiful, healthy hair & answered all of my questions. I have my hair in boho braids now. I grew my hair good without braids, but with braids, it helps massively w retention and growth✨
I've literally been looking for a hairstyle to do to my hair right now and I think this is it. I used to do twist but I think this is a good idea to wash the braids and redo them every few weeks, keeping all the moisture locked in.
That's cute. I've thought of doing that a little bit. I'm 8 days shy of my 2 year hair growth journey. Currently rocking these 2 braids for what will be 8 weeks when I take them out on my anniversary. When I get to 3 years and have some decent male hangtime ima try your style for a year and see what it gives.
The problem I have with washing braids is that they loc up on me, so I have to just do 2 strand twists and wash 1x a month. It’s been working for me, but I wish I could wash my hair more (lack of time, and a need to reduce manipulation)
I have been doing braids and redoing them every two weeks before now. I just started shampooing, conditioning and moisturizing weekly💃( your tips helped). I want to retain all my new growth just like you😅. My back hair is currently at my mid back length. My front hair is the shortest😂.Hopefully I get to waist length by December😌.
I mean you should wash your braids. Others may not be able to. I have to remove mine bc if I wash my hair in braids or twist even just focusing on the scalp and being careful not to scrub too much I get horrible tangles. Remember yall what works for one may not work for all. But def try it out and see if it works for your hair
I go back and forth with two steand twists and crochet braids. While i dont wash them as often. I donuse a refresher spray. I'm going to incorporate a cleansing oil next but my hair has grown as well.
Thank you for this video, right now I have an Afro that is slightly bigger than a TWA, should I start this process now or let it grow out by itself more first?
It would def be easier now since they would be shorter which means It’s faster to install and takedown. You can always try it and see if you need to wait a little bit longer
Off topic but now that your hair is getting longer do you feel like you’re getting length dysmorphia? My current length I know neck length me would have dreamed to have but it never feels long enough! 😫
That’s an interesting thought. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s dysmorphia. While I’m enjoying my current length (even though she’s in plaits all the time lol) I do have a goal. Once I reach that goal I’ll either cut it or stay there. Any longer in my opinion is nasty 🤣🤣 respectfully lol it’s just too much hair (for me)
Same, mine frizzez by day 4 and moisturizing which I love makes it worse. It will shrink and frizz. If I wash in the braids I will have to end up taking it out it will just look horrendous
I do bigger braids and only keep them in 1 week at a time. Take out to wash and rebraid. If I wash my hair in the braids it looks terrible. If I wash my hair in twists it gets matted.
I have locs but i’m about to start doing this with my 2 year old daughter’s hair. I’ve been considering it for a while but haven’t yet because I wana try all the cute styles on her lol. Her hair is so long and thick but she hates getting it washed and styled. This would make wash day and my entire life so much easier🤣
BEAUTIFUL ❤️ 😍 BEAUTIFUL ❤️ 😍 BEAUTIFUL ❤️ 😍 🤩 I love it I agree you were it well and take care of it PERIOD . #LONG HAIR #HEALTHLY HAIR ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ALL DAY EVER DAY

What I I braid them myself n they r kinda loose will my hair still grow..?? Like if I deep condish it...n oil it??
Everyone hair is different so it’s hard to say frfr but if your hair is kinky it shouldn’t unravel

How long do you leave them in before redoing them? Tried this with twists but by week 2 my hair was locking up
I redo every 4-5 weeks. I can’t do this with twists cause my hair would loc too but plaits it’s different ball game.
I get single strand knots with these and twists. Unfortunately, my hair retains more length when it’s in a “straight” state.
@@sharicamonet9675 that’s my next challenge 🤫
I remember going to school back home. I use to do my hair like this to save time for school. My hair was reached to my elbow. It does work.
Your elbow , wow that’s long 😲
love this ! how long did that take you ?
@@aneesa1670 took me 4 hours to do them originally. Takes me days to redo each plait
I'm fixing to do this style to my hair too.
Aye twinssss
Whoo I need to to try this
@@bettycouncil6637 always recommend ppl to try it because it could be life changing
How does your hair still look so good though? I’m trying the same thing as you but my frizz is next level.
Naw it’s frizzy by week 2.. if you look at my hair when I was wearing the pink blazer, she’s frizzy frizzy. But tbh, I don’t mind it 🤷🏾♀️
Water + scarf overnight or water + mouse + scarf overnight, depending on what you're looking for, should help some.
Ladies I was wondering the same thing about maintenance and the frizz, so thanks for the suggestions, thanks for sharing !🙏😘
Same, mine frizzez by day 4 and moisturizing which I love makes it worse. It will shrink and frizz. If I wash in the braids I will have to end up taking it out it will just look horrendous
I do bigger braids and only keep them in 1 week at a time. Take out to wash and rebraid. If I wash my hair in the braids it looks terrible. If I wash my hair in twists it gets matted.
I have locs but i’m about to start doing this with my 2 year old daughter’s hair. I’ve been considering it for a while but haven’t yet because I wana try all the cute styles on her lol. Her hair is so long and thick but she hates getting it washed and styled. This would make wash day and my entire life so much easier🤣
@@AutumnTheArtist1996 it makes life easier indeed! 🙌🏾😩

Do you rebraid your plaits or touch them up before taking them out completely after weeks of wearing them.
Yes and yes
God took His time with me🙏💙💙💙💙✨
Imma try it
