    I got waist length hair, by putting it in box braids without adding any weave hair. I did this for 3 years, and Ba BAM! 😂
    I'm serious yall! I know this routine is over simplified but it worked for me... 🤷🏾‍♀

    Forgetting about length and enjoying your hair at it’s current stage is the best thing you can do for your hair. Especially if you want length retention.
    Plus some of us have more shrinkage than others (Before anyone starts telling how ‘real’ it is, I LOVE my shrinkage as much as every other healthy part of my body. We good over here👌🏾). My tailbone length hair shrinks to just below my shoulders.
    Seeing my length isn’t really a priority for me because I know how much manipulation will have to take place for me to see it. I’d rather enjoy my volume over my length. So styles that showcase my volume always works best for me. And of course headwraps. Those will always be a staple 😉

      Ms. Dials, I’m the same way! I’m looking for density rather than length. Length will come in due time.
      I’ve always been a short cut lady, up until 2018. I’ve started growing out my hair and it comes to a little above my shoulders now. I can wait and enjoy my hair in ALL levels. But I must say that the longer my hair gets, the easier it is to do!
      Also, I’m able to say I’m FINALLY absolutely loving my hair now, after many years of hating it because of how other black people view it. I’m in LOVE and there is nothing nobody can say about my kinky coils that will make me change my mind

    The truth is for most of us 4c-z ladies this will be a 3 to 4 year journey and maybe more.
    Our hair grows, but a big chop, to healthy, to waist length, doesn’t happen in a year.
    Heathy hair will grow.
    It takes time for us.
    Don’t give up hope.
    Stay consistent if this is your desire to have “ lady Godiva” length hair.
    Your determination will be your own reward.

      Very well said. I must share for anyone who can use it. When I transitioned to natural, I never did a big chop. My hair has always been past the shoulders. On wash day, I continued to do roller sets, just like with perm. I clipped my ends gradually, maybe every 2 months. Hair is completely natural now and growing very nicely. I stay away from direct heat. Occasionally I will use a hooded dryer. I am 4 years natural and enjoying learning how to handle my natural hair from my you tube sisters. I won't say it has been an easy journey but it is very rewarding. I will never go back to the creamy crack! Have a great day.

      Nobody grows waist length hair from scratch in a year. Hair grows about 6 inches per year, give or take, no matter the texture. So yeah 3-4 years is a normal time frame. Factor in setbacks, and it might take a little longer though.

    Im close to waist length and I find that using heat to stretch my hair and washing once a month (I have low sebum production) has helped me retain length in a way that is more visible to me now. and it’s easier to see where I need to trim. Before I would try to do wash and gos and braid outs and I didn’t feel my hair thriving like it is now. I think stretching my hair with heat made a huge difference but now I know how to recover my hair with treatments and take breaks in between so i don’t overwhelm my strands. I can’t believe i was afraid of heat for so long

You can even stretch the hair without heat. It’s a great investment if you can purchase it. If not then the revlon brush is good too but I wouldn’t use it as often and take breaks in between to avoid damage.

    I just wished over favorite RUclipsrs would tell us the time all of this work took and keep saying it. I have been natural for ten years and I’m at mid back. It’s possible for all of us even with the simplest routines.
    But there are girls struggling to grow their hair and they think something is wrong but it’s really just TIME. Yea length retention and all that stuff but time is a huge factor. No one did this overnight and we have ALL had setbacks. I think if these types of videos were followed by the setbacks and how stressful it all was there would be less issues in our natural hair community.
    Anyways. I love green beauty. I have followed her for many years but she makes it look to easy, “just scoop and spread”, which made me feel like something was wrong with me in the beginning of my journey as I have never seen a drop of sebum, lol
    Green beauty is a scientist in my opinion so the respect is there. I am just yearning for more transparency

In my minitwist days i would redo every 6 weeks so I will do the same with the flat braids. In the warmer months I will minitwist. I'm tall so getting to waist length requires 22" hair. So 6" to go. I also oiled my scalp with noncomedogenic oils infused with auyervedic herbs. Enjoy the process. Thanks for this series it's renewed my resolve to get to this goal. .

Washing once a month right now is a dream for me. I am mid-length stage. I have tried everything from Witch Hazel, to masking with essential oils, salicylic acid shampoo occasionally. My scalp just wants that water and shampoo.

      Washing your hair weekly is a good thing! You’re cleansing your scalp and conditioning your strands on a regular basis, just like we have to cleanse and lotion our bodies. Scalp is still skin and maybe you sweat more than some. You could also see a doctor/dermatologist, it could be an underlying health issue that no one o the internet can diagnose or treat for you. There is a black dermatologist directory that could help you find someone

      Have you tried diet changes?? Might be what you eat is coming through your pores there. Also hydration ?? And try eliminating using the shampoos and conditioner too much by perhaps only water washing in between or just condish in-between and eventually your hair might adjust accordingly.

    So right now, I’ve taken out my twists and now wearing my hair in a high bun. Since I have breakage in my crown, that I’m trying to grow out, I’m wondering if I’m on the right track by wearing my hair in a high bun, or should I try wearing low bun styles instead. I’m also, moisturizing my crown section twice a day, and trimming this section more frequently and making sure the style is loose. My thoughts were, since I’m in a desert climate and the sun hits the crown area 1st, wearing my hair in a high bun will reduce any direct sunlight and dryness my hair would receive, as opposed to wearing it in a low bun. If I wear a low bun then my crown is exposed, unless I wear a hat, but I’m not really a fan of hats. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! 🙏🏾🤗

    • @1GoldenBreeze
      @1GoldenBreeze 2 года назад +5

      If you use a medicated shampoo, don't pull the suds through the length of your hair. Shampoo the length with a moisturizing shampoo. I have an oily scalp so I shampoo every 4 - 5 days and my hair is about an inch from tailbone length. So it isn't necessarily the frequent shampooing that keeps you from retaining length. Check out Latoya Ebony's channel. She is a 4c girl with seborrheic dermatitis and her hair is long. Maybe you can pick up some tips to help you out.

      Scooping and spread is especially beneficial for those who work out. Sweat mixes with sebum to creat something called an acid mantle. And Acid mantle is even more protective to our skin and hair than just sebum. Right after working out, scoop and spread your hair. Do it every day you work out. You hair will look 🔥 after just one week.

You really know your hair and are able to crack the code of it. Me not so much. My hair is breaking extremely right now on my right side because I did a lye texture with mizani butter blend 6 months ago. Because I have hard water it has ruined my hair. Since I moved to a poor neighborhood where the water is complete trash, my hair has been ravaged. I didn't catch on to why my hair was being trashed until it was too late. Now I know what was causing my hair to be trashed and I can pick up the pieces from here. I have new natural roots to start off with. I refuse to cut off the breaking hair trim yes but cut no. I'm holding on to every strand with white knuckles, I've worked so hard and waited SOOOOOOOOOOOO long to have hair past the tops of my shoulders. I have discovered the right conditioner and how to strip the gross disgusting mineral buildup on my hair from my tap. So I start from here 2023 AGAIN starting over. Not doing a big chop, just starting fresh.

    Hello! Can you please do a video on high and low porosity. For some reason, many natural hair RUclipsrs seem to think their hair is low porosity. That is not true and a misconception in the natural hair community. Afro kinky curly hair tends to be high porosity hair. Many think that because their hair take longer to dry after washing it, then it is low porosity. But that comes from all the products we put on our hair to keep in from drying out.

      I style with leave ins, custards and sometimes mousse because they apply easily and dry quickly. For protective styles, bubble braids wash easily look great they frizzier they get, just keep the rubber bands nice and loose. Some like wearing twists and braids as well, but mine can’t last more than 2 washes.

      Hey 👋🏾, the sweat that comes out your scalp should not have an odor unless there’s a pH imbalance in your body. Try adding more raw greens to your diet and keep sugar and oily food down to a super small minimum. Also, you may be noticing a scent on your scalp b/c bacteria from the air is sticking to the buildup on your scalp. So, instead of washing your hair after every workout … scoop and spread after every workout. Your sebum will spread a lot faster b/c you work out and you hair will look bomb. The goal is to never let sebum and sweat build up on your scalp.
