For those asking here’s a video of how I dealt with my damage hair
ruclips.net/video/vk9sngvVT50/видео.html
Hi there, what product do you use to define your curls like at 6:00 in the video?
Thanks. And I would also like to know what were the best oils and did you have to clip your ends a lot?
instablaster
It’s funny how EVERY video of a BLACK woman ive seen with long hair most of the comments from other Black women saying that person only grew their hair that length due to their genetics when in fact genetics play NO part in the length of your hair! Now rate of hair growth may play a factor but bottom line they took proper care of their hair now give these women their kudos for their hard work and determination. YOU can do it too.
that is true AF
The Ballad Of The Queen who cares? It’s bald headed mixed chick around here too. Look up Razorempress, beautiful dark skinned islander girl with waist length hair.
The Ballad Of The Queen first of all black woman can have long hair you don’t have to be mixed to have long hair
The Ballad Of The Queen fact you are right !!
Some black women cant accept the fact we can grown long hair, then when some other race say the same thing its ww3
Your awkward length is my goal length right now lol
Lexy same lol
Give me a petty preach please!
Right!
same but i should be there by summer 😊
My hair is at awkward but more shorter, her awkward is my goal too
Girl, your “awkward length” was only awkward in its curly state. But was BSL/MBL when stretched. That’s definitely longer than average.
yhh
What does BSL/MBL mean?
@@goodnight3185 BSL (bra strap length) MBL (mid back length)
Laurie Ylagan Ohh okay. Thank you!
I think the opposite .. hair always looks better short when it’s curly but my hair is short and wavy and it looks way more awkward
Awkward lenght for me, is that length in which your hair is not short but is not long enough for a ponytail... Lol but yeah to the health and growth
Exactly. Awkward length is shorter than how her hair was. When it's too short to really style it or the styling is difficult.
Like me, I pull it back in a bun almost everyday so its uneven. That's awkward.
SAME OMG 😲
@@kokolatte825 everyone has their own definition of awkard. Goddamn
Fr😂
Even your so called "awkward" stage is goals😍😍
So a lot of you are saying to go more in depth..are you all wanting me to do a full natural hair journey or just more in-depth on my “hair growth journey” because there was a time in my hair journey (beginning) when my hair was VERY damage and I can do a video talking all about that. Please give me ideas 👇🏽❤️
Shawntas Way
Yes talk about how you dealt with damaged hair in depth. I am in that stage now from straightening too much and coloring. Love your videos, just starting to try to start over on my hair journey.😔
I liked this video and yes, please go more in depth with more details of your routine when your hair was in the damaged phase. How often did you wash, deep condition, what styles you used etc.? Thanks Shawnta!
Shawntas Way a full hair growth journey pls from you wanting to cut it to the present including the oils you use for growth
OliveOil85 I hear you, but if you look at several past videos she’s posted, you’ll see that she explains exactly what she did to grow her hair.
Miriam Hobbs thank you for the response
Everyone is saying do more in depth but y'all fail to understand what works for her doesn't necessarily means it will work for you.
The Elle we could still try
The Elle that’s besides the point. Because one won’t know until they try to see what does and does not work for their hair.
Ok but what if it does...
That's wat I have to explain as well. We all have different hair types with different grade. We can't all use the same things. Only a selected few will. That's just how it goes. That's the fun of being different.😉
The Elle well we won’t know that if we can’t try it lmao
Hey guys!!! Hope you enjoy this hair GROWTH journey! My hair growth journey truly started when I started to be more conscious of health in general! When did yours start?
Shawntas Way 2016 i started wearing weaves because i had a relaxer and in 2017 i did the big chop and have been growing it completely natural ever since
My journey began when I started to deep condition my hair more. Now, I have included your growth oil as a part of my regimen. I don't want really long hair, but healthy hair. Now, I have it.
My hair growth journey is tumultuous. I'm trying to learn what my hair likes, what regime I will practice, how often should I use oil on my edges for traction alopecia, how often to moisturize it or if it is moisturized, and what products to use which is pretty expensive. I refuse to buy another product! Anyway, my hair journey started when I was tired of paying Stylists all my money and my hair was yet still in poor condition and I never received the styles I requested or the hair care I deserved. I decided I needed to do something so I went natural and am learning my hair for the first time in my life. My hair is now healthy, my edges are "slowly" filling in, and I am retaining length after years of paying Stylists to damage and not care for my hair! Thank you Jesus!
I’ve been following you since u started on YT. I started my natural journey in 2011 and cut my 2 or 3 inches of relaxed ends off in 2014. I’ve been natural since, but I had some setbacks with other ppl who are jealous doing my hair. It was growing like weeds when my hands only touched it and I watched YT for help. Over the years I became busy and lazy with work and school, so I slacked on taking care of my hair. In 2015, I started washing my hair every week and doing puffs and wash & go’s and my hair was so healthy and growing so nicely. I went back to lazy again bc life happened, so I just wore wigs and that’s it. Now for 2019, I want to get back to caring for my hair again so that it can grow to waist length. I know with hard work and dedication it’s possible. Happy New Year everyone! 🙏🏾
When I stopped being a lazy natural.
Length retention is the key not hair growth.
You look like a doll😍😍. It makes me so happy seeing more and more black women loving and growing out their gorgeous natural hair. You go girls.
I’m a little offended at her talking about her awkward length. SIS THATS LONG
Right..lol like there was a pic where her hair was longer than shoulder length..im sure bra strap length..and she was like it's not that long here...im like girl please see my hair and try again!😂
Her “awkward stage” is my dream length😩
The ocean eyes at the beginning caught be off guard. I’m obsessed with Billie. 😂
Billie!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
1:51 photo bomb 😂😂 that lil girl in the back
I enjoyed the video and understood the points that you were making. You have always had length to your hair, but it wasn’t until you began taking better case of it that it first got a lot thicker, then finally developed enough weight and length when curly to finally drop down and show it’s true brilliance.
I really liked the point about the work that you started doing in 2016 finally paying off in 2018. A lot of us naturals - definitely myself included - miss the point that really have to consistently take care of out hair in order for it to thrive. We can’t wait for it to look like the RUclips bloggers we watch then take care of our hair. We have to take care of our hair if we want it to eventually look like theirs.
You have lovely hair, but the billie eilish song got me at the beginning
Your hair did grow a whole bunch‼️ I use to watch some of your videos then I came across your videos recently and I was like WOW‼️
My friend said I’m not light skin so my hair won’t grow longer than it is...And i just feel like i would never get long hair...just because I’m brown skin but honestly i can try
•fluffy•kookie• that's bullshit. Skin color doesn't contribute anything to hair growth. Genetics only determines how fast your hair grows but you can still get long hair no matter your growth rate. You just have to understand your hair and growth rate and do what it takes to get that long hair. It takes determination. Ask yourself two questions: how badly do you want long hair and are you willing to do what it takes to get it?
1:55 i like now noriyah is on the right posing😂😂
It's good to know that hair grows wide then eventually drops. I have always been worried that my curls will never show their length.
Alexis Washington It depends. My hair is long (1”-2” from waist length) but it’s shoulder length when curly. It grows out not down.
Your hair appears to have natural moisture which means it's easier to grow and you don't have to fight breakage as much of some of us folks.
I really would like for you to go more in depth. For instance what products did you use, how often did you wash your hair, what was your exact hair care routine, did you increase your vitamin intake, did you change your diet, and what other exact treatments did you do?
Gorgeous hair. I’m curious, do the immediate relatives in your family also have lengthy hair? I’m asking because we all want super long hair, but some studies say that everyone has a genetic cap to how long their hair can reach (without putting locs in). I just wonder whether I am psyching myself out to want a length that genetically I may not be predisposed to reach. What are your thoughts?
Gods blessing for growing in 2 years.
I was able to grow my natural 4c hair over 22 inches mainly by keeping it moisturized and leaving it alone. I just made a RUclips video on this. Ladies water water water, water=moisture. Nice video :)!
Water is definitely not moisturizer if you have high porosity 4c hair, its hydration. When i put any liquid in my hair is shrinks up faster than ever and gets brittle like i just blow dryed it without heat protectant🤷🏾♀️.
Who wants to hear a 13 year olds hair journey? 3c/4a hair thickkkk ...... fr my hair is so thick that not even a hair salonist it’s can give me a thin press🤦🏾♀️❤️❤️❤️
My parents :
My dads curls : thickkkkk loose 3c/3c Btw
my dad is Yemen and Somali ) most Yemen’s have thic hAir
My moms curls: 4a curls thin that’s not really curls more crinkles (btw my mom is Ethiopian/Aromo and Somali)
Me: thickkkkk 3c/4a curls
My lil sister: thin 3c/4a curls
Journey time :
When I was younger my mom would wash, oil , and braid and my hair every week and my hair was waist length🙂But I hated when she braided it 😕so when I was 5 my mom cut it ✂️ So then I started to not care about my hair 🙄 I continued to wash it once a week On MY OWN and would tie it in a bun every day so it reached about under boob level❤️ 💁🏾♀️when I was 9 I felt insecure started obsessing about my hair my hair is really thickkkkkkkkkkkkkk and it was really hard to handle so I would straighten it alotttttt I think I straightened it because I went to a school with mostly Latinos even my cousin had softer curls then me she had 2c/3a curls that were really thin I just wanted to fit in 😞 but my hair was damaged and I was loosing all my length😥then I turned 11 I started caring about my hair a lot in a good way and it was getting better ...... when I turned 12 ........I decided to make it blonde on the ends losing even more length I washed it every day because the blonde was so dry and had no moisture and that ruined my hair I hated the blonde so after a couple months my aunt offered to die it black again and I trimmed it then 3 mo later I trimmed again I’m now 13 I wear a hijab now and I trimmed it again yesterday i have decided to go back to my moms routine because I want to get that waist length hair back so I’m gonna wash,oil and braid my hair every Saturday leaving the braids in until the next Saturday , wearing the braids under my hijab at school 🧕🏾🧕🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
Omg I am Somali and I have thick 3b curls and it laterally seems like we went through the same thing but I only got freedom with my hair until eleven and I didnt care for it then it started to show and my mum made me cut it and now I have been doing your exact same routine and I got my growth back but healthier and be cuz I wear hijab I could get away with putting jbco regularly
@@Salma-ke7es OMG SAME, i always had long hair to my hips it even past it but now i cut it into a bob biggest regret
For everybody saying genetics, it's not all about genetics. It's about what you put in your hair & what you put in your body. Diet helps with hair growth. Some things like carrots & avocadoes might not be so pleasant to taste, use your creative mind & make a juice or smoothie out of them. Add strawberries, different berries & fruits to make it taste better. Leave a moisturizing conditioner in your hair (such as Hollywood Cholesterol with olive oil), use an overhead dryer to help open up your pores to absorb the oils & moisture. Drink water. Some of you may need a detox 1st from your hair being stressed from heat damage, chemicals & what you have eaten. If you have too much candida in your body, you might need to detox that too. Use a candida cleanse & wash your hair with antifungal shampoo. I know people who's hair never grew below their neck for 20 years. They used antifungal shampoo & their hair grew to their waist.
Im happy that my hair finally is so tall ♡♡♡♡
My hair grows rlly fast. I have very straight hair because I am asian, but I cut my hair shoulder length and in 2 months it was down to my waist and by the end of 6 months it is lower than my butt.
Hahaha..
Yes, please go more in depth. I always want my hair to drop and then expand. I'm embracing the journey. AWESOME video!
The only thing that sucks is that my hair isn't as curly as yours but it's sorta straight and frizzy without any relaxers or heat (because I have European blood in me) and I have NO idea how to go natural with my type of hair.
What products were helpful to grow your hair.?? What DIY products did you make. ??
What was your maintenance and wash routine ?? What moisture routine did you do ?? Do a video using the products, showing us how you use them. please..😄 Thank you /💓 Beautiful Hair 💜
So how did your hair actually get longer?? What did u do exactly?? Just by getting it curly?? Explain further
Girl said “awkward stage” shutttt upppp😂
I find that oils have helped my hair alot as well. You mentioned using oil throughout the video and I agree a good oil is a lifesaver for hair health and growth!
Yes, please do a video on your damaged hair 2014-2016.
Would love to see a work day rountine for you on how you balance a thriving business and RUclips sort of like a behind the scenes ... 😁
Me brushing my hair and taking care of it everyday and every other day made a real difference, my hair used to be so damaged, I kept it away from heat and started brushing my hair out and keeping it moiturised and massaged my scalp. It started growing fast. I cut it a month and a half back and I kept it going with the brushing and moisturing and it grew. I'm trying to get it to my hips by July. Wish me luck
A lot of RUclipsrs with long natural hair had long hair when they were younger. Of course, going natural and taking better care of their hair made it even longer but they have always had long hair. #genteics
I feel that way too...its like a predispose length you automatic get and if you take care you can get past that length.
True
Genetics definitely play a part, let's be real. Yes black women can grow long hair but our hair tends to be dry which causes breakage, other nationalities tend to have the opposite problem, they have oily hair which is why they need to wash hair daily. They dont usually have the breakage African American women do which is why we have to deep condition, hot oil treatments and moisturize, etc. I find alot of these videos on RUclips of mixed women giving their versions of how to grow your hair long 🤨. Her hair is beautiful nonetheless
Jesus, don't start with that ish. So because of genetics, her challenge to better understand what she was born with and has to work with is somehow invalid? If the video doesn't resonate with you, then it isn't for you. RUclips can't be everything for everybody 100% of the time.
New Subscriber here. All I can say is WOW😳. Totally AMAZING. You have such Gorgeous hair. I'm not there yet but I'm on my way.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes please give us the story from childhood I’m more then sure genetics played a major part in your rapid hair growth as well but nonetheless you have beautiful hair!😍
Yes..... genetics!
@@lisag6416 genetics 99% then 1 percent caring for it properly. ☺facts facts facts.
I personally feel it's more 90% genetics and 10% maintenance. Genetics still plays a big role but you don't know how much it can grow if you take care of it properly. Just my opinion.
@@camillefaith2005 I agree with you. I think the majority of people have the genetics to be able to grow hair much longer than they have. I believe most people who have short hair when they want long is because they dont have proper hair maintence, including myself lol
@Infinity Blades I don't know whether or not genetics determines a terminal hair length (I'm more on the side that thinks most people can grow really long hair). However, I thought the thread was less about terminal hair length and more the rate your hair grows like half inch a month or inch a month
I love your hair. Your awkward length was still long& full. Great video. ❤
Also I want to know how much hair shedding do you have Shawntas Way? How to stop shedding and breakage even when I deep condition at least once a week!
I hugged Shawnta at the black womens expo and her hair was sooo soft I hope my hair can be as long as hers one day
What do you have to say about Andreas comment? Seeing as how you hugged her. Is her hair real? I can’t stand negative people. She’s down there 👇🏽
@@all_mine1233 who is andrea? Im confused how is me saying her hair is soft and beautiful negative? Yes her hair is real..
@@la-laland480 A girl named Andrea down there said Shawnta's hair isn't real. So I called her negative!
Beautiful. I'm in year three and a awkward stage. Please give us tips on things you did to push through this stage for more length.
For me I dont like my shrinkage, I use Cantu leave in conditoner. Apply it generously at the ends first right out of the shower. Then let it air dry. Till it 99% dry. Then I twist it and put it In a bun. And my curls become elongated still curly and bouncy. I'm mixed by the way with 3b-3c hair type. This will not work for you of you have 4a-4c.
Beautiful pic of you and your daughter!
My daughter has her like yours. Soft, loose pattern. But dry. I wish she would start taking care of it. I believe she can get to Great lengths and healthy hair if she did. But she's 13 and doesn't want to take any time on grooming her hair properly.
PLEASE do a more in depth video
Wow amazing good job on taking care of your hair ! My hair is also at that not long but not short stage (bra strap length )and has been for a good while due to the set backs I had with many stylist ... but I’ve been doing my own hair and it starting to look much better. I just subscribed to your channel looking forward to see my hair reach my goal length in 2019 😊
If you have the time to read this then anything is possible
I was born with a heart condition called “hypo plastic left heard syndrome” yeh I mouth full. This condition is very rare as it is where you only have half of a heart not full. With this condition it includes some stuff that u may not like, one being not getting long hair!
When I was 5 years old I hardly had hair. When I turned 7 my hair was just above my ears and it stayed like that till i was 9. Then I slowly realised some change. My hair grew!!! I was so happy cause it taken a year to grow an inch for me. And my hair was shoulder length. I decided to take care of my hair even more and hoped it would boost it.
In a year I grew about 4-5 inches so when I was 11 my hair was about 4 inches passed my shoulders. Then I heard of the “inversion method” it’s basically when you turn your head down and massage it for like 5 minutes. I have done this for 2 years now and I really haven’t done anything to my hair including heat.
Right now my hair is half way through my butt😂👏🏽( I said that. ) and 3 inches passed my belly button. ❤️ doctors are surprised. People who have the same condition as me don’t have hair at all and some only have hair that make them look like a male 😭 ima pray for them
But honestly if I can get long hair in my condition I know you can too!
Black girls rule the word with there hair🤘🏽🤘🏽
lol wassup with all of the dislikes? smh, ppl just hate just to hate I swear
I use to watch you a looong time ago then I stop watching RUclips, came back and i was like whattttttttt her hair grew soooo much
I would like to know what you did for the back of your hair. That's where I need to focus on as it's much shorter as I'm sure collars and the way I sleep are damaging it. Thank you!
Your hair was mad pretty in 2016. My hair is in between thin and thick but my curls aren’t like how they were before I cut my hair two years in a row.
wait i didnt understand how did u grow up ur hair fast ???? someone plz explain to me????
Healthy diet/nutrition/ hair growth oil/moisturizing treatments/got serious about hair care
I noticed that a lot of RUclipsrs like to use the word fast when describing their hair growing journey. But if you pay attention you'll notice that their hair is growing at the average rate of 1/2 an inch a month. This lady for instance began with about shoulder length hair in 2014. So from 2014 to 2018 she should have grown about 24 inches of extra hair, at the average rate. From the video,I would say that she grew her hair at the normal rate. The only difference between her and many other people is that she took good care of it by moisturizing and avoiding heat, therefore she was able to maintain most of the length. Avoid heat, damaging styles, moisture constantly, and you'll be able to achieve your desired length. Not fast, it takes time, but You'll get there.
@@samiraa3671 well said
@@samiraa3671Well said. 🙂
When you say natural hair expends first than drops later, do you mean that regarding the growth, it first begins to appear thicker than appears longer as it grows?
I really love ur intro cause I love the song ocean eyes
I LOVE it curly ! That beach picture , your hair is awesome
I’d like to see more of your beginning hair journey- you and your daughter are gorgeous!
I need to know your hair regimen journey list of oils along with your daily regimen. How often do you apply your oils?
Yeah what kinds of oils
melodie washington exactly! How is it a hair journey to growth. It basically just shows us the different lengths in years. Lol.. we need details so our hair can potentially grow like this.
**hears intro**
Me: OMG THATS BILLIEEEEEEEEEEE
Wow, this babe has a great routine. You go girl!!
love that this video wasn’t long and didnt drag on🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
1:54 photo bomb lol
Thank you for this video!!! I absolutely love your hair!!! Keep posting your updates and maybe you could do a video of each of your DIY regimens!??? If you haven't already.
God bless you 🙏 please let it grow and leave it alone. Naturally beautiful.
Before the natural hair care movement exploded I was raised to believe that basic hot oil treatments are the best things that we could do for our hair. I don't hear too much about that anymore. Sounds like you found that oils are something that your hair benefits from.
Hi Shawnta! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous. How often do you recommend getting trims if you want to retain length and grow your hair healthy? How often were you trimming your hair at this time?
Yeeeessssss ssssiiiiiisssssas natural gain
Welcome back.... or am I late? I'd like to know more about your journey.
love this video! im glad to see im on track with your method. my problem is the waiting definitely 😂
😂 also i start to forget how much i want long hair when it starts itching the back of my neck
I wish you showed the 2015 hair growth journey instead of going straight to 2016
Congratulations giiiiiiiirl😍😍😍😍😍😍
did you cut your hair in order to remove the damage?
Moisture is all it is as well as oil
I love the intro background
I give up bro, my hair is shoulder-back length it won't grow longer than that I fucking give the fuck up. So unfair
Your hair is so beautiful 🤩 😍! I’m on a hair journey as well going for knee length! It has been long like mid back before bt I damaged it one day n lost almost all of it! 💔😒…N decided it was the perfect time to lock my hair for a few years! I Just detangled it six months ago.. so it’s really thin right now. 🤧🙆🏽I can’t wait for it to thicken back up.. so I can have that big volume of hair again!🤩✨😭 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤌🏾🤌🏾👑👑👑
Merry Christmas 🎄 Shawnta. I was extremely inspired. Thank you kindly for sharing. I would love to see a more detailed video of how you used your oil and where in your hair routine. How did you use as far as what parts of the hair? Did it get on your pillow, etc.? Thanks in advance lovebug 🥰
Her awkward stage as she calls it was very very long. Even curled up. She is blessed with a gorgeous head of hair. But when you have it you don't know.
I get so sick of this Lunawigs Ad. Damn!
Your hair is so beautiful 😍. I wish my hair grew that fast. So I’ve been natural all my life and I want to be at waist length. I’m currently at mid back. I never really took care of it like moisturizing or washing it consistently but maybe during the summer I could start getting into treatments like this and it could hopefully get to you length 😁.
EVERY TIME and I do mean every time I see a video of a Black woman with long hair I see more Black women saying oh it’s mostly genetics which is so annoying because I literally don’t see this kind of talk on any other race/ethnic women’s videos smh y’all need to get it together. I feel like by saying this you are discrediting all the hard work someone put in to achieve their healthy hair. I also have not ever seen this proven by Science so it’s just folklore to me. With hard work I’m sure we can ALL have the kind of hair we want.
What's the best oil for ur hair
Glad I found this channel I'm subbing now!
I wish you had discussed more about the products you used.
Her hair growth is 90% from her parents combined DNA. Meaning those hair chemicals that are shipped from China to the USA had nothing to do with her hair growth.
@@DeelifullI think you are right. This video shows, She has not really had a hair issue. But, she keeps talking about oils, but never really provided information on the products she used. If you look at other sights, the individuals tell you what they did to help their hair look healthy & what made it grow.
Did anyone see the girl posing in the back🤣
Yes! Please go more in depth! Thank you!
When her awkward length is your goal
I remember when you started buying more products. Man time flies!
Can you please share your DIY hair growth oil?
nija harvey it's linked in her description box.
She deleted the video i think or privated it,now she sells it

Is it if the more curly your hair is it’s thicker or is it even when you have 4b hair
Beautiful head of hair. Great video
Your hair has grown a lot since 2015. Can you start back doing DIY conditioner and shampoo?
