@@amytarie. Now I feel better since the last trim I had was this February. 😅 I’ll get mine trimmed sometime this month, thanks for answering, and you’re beautiful!
@@sagittariusbeauty I think it depends how you wear your hair tbh. I used to do 2x a year but then increased it to like 3ish times last year because I felt like 2x wasn't enough. And I think that's because during the warmer months I may wear it out more/the sun & heat exposure just cause more wear to my ends. doing so, they cut less and my hair did well.
Knowing I don't need to fully detangle my hair to the point of giving up is honestly amazing. Also re-twisting the visible sections every month for 3 months is soooo smart.
I promise you a lot of things in this life ( Hair & in general ) are more obvi / simple than they seem but when you are too close to a picture you can't see the full image smh. Took me a min. to realize if my hair is not naturally straight, I shouldn't expect it to do what straight hair does. But curly hair isn't the standard ... Thank you, that tip came from a place of "less is more" haha 😌
I wear wigs FAITHFULLY! I swear they’re the most slept on & slandered protective style. 😭I cut my natural hair a little past my shoulders in 2020 & now in 2023 it’s to my waist 😭 i only trim my hair once per year & between that i just slightly dust the ends. I honestly though i’d have hella split ends cause i don’t get trims as often as people say you should, but my hair is actually healthy asf 😭 wigs are perfect cause there’s no tension, thread or anything interfering with your real hair. the wig just sits on top of your braids
Love your routine super similar to mine just with Twists. & I wanna be a wig girlie so bad 😭 I just can't do it with relaying my lace every 3days and trying to make it look realistic and being self-conscious in public 😩 I think I'll give wigs a try again just one with bangs so I don't have to bother with lace. Now that I can see me doing long term 😎
@@amytarie. omg yes wigs are def on the more high maintenance side but maybe you should try a glueless closure wig! you can take it off at night & it’s less lace to deal with!

No fr because when you realize that you don't need it to be all the way tangle-free ... GAME CHANGER 🤣 best discovery I've made smh my hair is growing rapidly lol
Good tips on stretching your hair and not protective styling until it’s dry, the next day, after it’s stretched! Definitely gonna try this to maintain more length. Thank you for sharing! 🤗
That detangling tip is kinda changing my life too 🤯 i always felt like i needed to be detangled from root to tip to feel like i did a good job detangling - mind blown!
My skull hair is an issue because I can't sleep because of my new apartment venture have yo Ove and it's a lot on mind 6 I can't sleep hope it's OK soon because others are suffering it's causing my family to suffer mostly my hair but I willbe fine Jackie alive and I my right mind I blessed
My mom is helping me do a protection style now and I'm so shocked! I'm doing spring twist I feel like my hair has grown so much. I didn't even realize how long it had gotten to I blew it out.
Ahhh. I remember when my hair used to be this long and I took it for granted. Now I am barely to my ears after years of braids wigs and dyeing. Can’t wait to get my length back.
Girl I got to the point where I was like .. listen sis ( me talking to my hair ) you the boss atp. I can't force you to be someone you're not anymore. & she said back .. finally, we may begin 😌 lol
I haven’t watched natural haircare videos in a LOOOOOOOONG while, so I don’t know why this video popped up on my feed! But I saw it, watched it, and thoroughly enjoyed it 😊 So now I’m a new subscriber, I am about to watch more of your videos! I was literally planning to begin wearing my hair in twists for a while, but I never thought to keep them in so long, so I’m excited to try this out 😄 Great video!
Omg I love that ! Welcome to the club , we like to have fun over here 🥳🥂 Glad you could stay a while ! Yes, please try this method and see how you like it. It has done my hair ✨W O N D E R S ✨
One thing that helped me with faux locs is using yarn to create a barrier. You can either braid/twist it in with with your hair, crochet at the base and loosely wrap, or crochet at the base and hold the yarn and your hair together when installing the fake hair. Works if you have loose or loc’d hair.
Hooow LONG ur hair is!!! Its amazing seriously!! I love once they get so long it starts to elongate the strands a bit more!!! My healthy curls have mass shrinkage tooo ❤
Aw thank you ! 🥹🫶🏾 & yes me too. I like it because it's almost like a reward to see the growth from elongated curls, especially for the girls with tighter type 4 hair like me. Cause the shrinkage too real 😭
Protective styling helped my hair too. I cut all my hair off in 2019. I didn't do much except wear a scarf (on top of a bonnet) every day. Had a minimal hair routine.
Faux locs are my jam and help grow my hair the most. I haven't tried wigs, but the last time I did box braids, I had so much breakage. I've been natural since I was a sophomore in high school and I'm 24 now. My hair has grown down to my lower back cause I've stopped using straightening tools and do minimal manipulation. I truly love being a natural hair girlie cause our hair is so versatile!
Omg that's awesome! Welp, diff strokes for diff folks. I'm glad faux locs works well for you, cause girl I wish! 😂 & yes to being natural for 9yrs you go! 🙌🏾 Absolutely love the versatility of our hair 💕
Learning that I don’t have to fully comb my hair or even comb it at all has changed my life and saved me so much time. I’m so thankful for this information 😅
2:23 Biotin gave me cystic acne too! Remember that biotin helps grow hair, nails AND skin so over a certain dose (which is very small), the skin cells over produce! I stopped taking it & just started focusing on my retention routine because that acne scarred me for YEARS 😩
SO TRUE! Omg I didn't know about overproducing skin cells tho?! No wonder! 😩 Yeah just focusing on retaining length rather than speeding up growth in that 1 month span is way better. & I just found a product that's been fading my acne scars from all those years ago 🥹❤🩹 bless!!!
Back when I was natural my twists would loc after two weeks lol, but they looked so good the first week! I definetly feel that if twists had worked for me; I would 100% still be natural because they are a goated style.
@@amytarie. 🥺❤ you replieddd (you're so pretty and I love your hair) as for the style I usually do buns or just let my hair loose when I'm going out I did an up-do for an event once and tomorrow I'm about to get a weave for the first time in my life (hope it goes well).
@@lawsome2068 Aw thank you ! 🥹🫶🏾 ofc I replied, how can I forget you? Oh okay cause you said "when I was natural" as if you were no longer natural... (?) Omg you gonna look so good girl ! I'm knowin'💕 Yes, it will go well trust and believe!
Maaaannnnnnnnnn I was trying to explain that detangling secret to someone, because I had the same revelation and it was honestly so beautiful! We have coils - they group together as a family of strands, they’re not meant to be separated individually. But back to the story, she would comb with…(pause for dramatic effect) a fine tooth comb!! A FINE TOOTH COMB. On her DRY HAIR. I wanted to cry. I tried to explain, but she was insistent it was necessary for her hair type. It was truly sad. Some people have said in the past that RUclipsrs for natural hair is oversaturated, but clearly it’s not enough! Thank you for sharing your journey and helping individuals like those out 🥰
Not a fine tooth comb ?! 😧 *gasp* *tiktok audio - you need to leave* Now a wide tooth comb I can understand a bit more but a fine tooth ? Chile ... I hear the caw of a bald eagle rn 😔🦅 for our fallen soldier. Oh well to each their own lol Glad you had this revelation as well & keep telling those who will listen and want to grow! It's truly an unspoken mystery haha. & aw you're so v welcome ! *gives hiug* 🫂
Yes ! So rn idk what that looks like so I need to research & test trail how I can grow my hair without protec all the time. It would be beneficial at least to know how. Agreed, it is over manipulation if you are Re-braiding every night. ( which I do in between protec styles ) If I find a routine to grow hair without using protec I’ll keep you updated & post a vid on it :) thanks
@TheCoilyCode you are so correct! I used to break out and looked like a strawberry and then I started drinking a whole gallon of water a day and after a couple of days my skin cleared up completely and I still drink a LOT of water each day and no more breaking out 🤗🤗
Now that I think about it, I think biotin worsened acne for me, too. I live in twists majority of the time. My hair is about 1.5 inches past my collarbone and this is the longest it ever has been. I don't comb my hair. 100% finger detangling. The comb is only used for parting my hair 😂 Never saw the point with how coiled my hair is. I also deep condition every time I wash my hair. I haven't trimmed my hair in over a year. I don't apply any heat to it so it makes no sense to me at this time. All of this has helped me immensely. :)
You my good sis, are indeed my curly twin ! This is like my exact routine & guarantees THE MOST GROWTH results! Wow good for you 🥳👏🏾 Can't wait to see you continue to prosper !
So true about the faux locs I almost cut off FIVE INCHES OF MY HAIR The last time my auntie installed some never again.. I was literally inches away from cutting my hair and didn't even realize it
My favorite protective style at the moment is actually twist!! So I will leave this timestamp on myself! I didn’t know I could wear it up to three months! Thanks for letting me know! 3:12!❤ and also 9:44
@@amytarie. I currently have twisted my head right now! I want to get back to growing out my hair.. at one point my hair was just a little bit above bra strap length, and that was the longest my hair has ever been.. I didn’t even know I could grow my hair that long.. but unfortunately, since I have got it colored a couple of months before I had to get three whole inches cut off as I saw, there was a lot of split Ends.. and for a while, I gave up and decided to not even grow my hair anymore and I’m still disappointed about that now.. but now it has been confirmed that I can literally grow my hair in just twist! I had got my twist done somewhere near the end of October, and I’m actually going to start my journey from November to the end of December for my two month hair growth journey! I really thank you for helping me out with this.. as I’ve been very upset ever since I got my inches cut off, but thank you so much for making me feel better!
@@_cmrartmoonpixxy_3924 oh girl you got this! Don’t be discouraged. You can do ANYTHING! Yes your hair can grow long all it takes is self discipline 😭 that’s the only hard thing I promise. If you can keep them twists in long term & refresh when needed.. you will thrive ! Aw you’re so welcome love 🫱🏾🫲🏼 glad I could help & be of service. Thank YOU for watching !
@@amytarie. of course thank you so much!! I will definitely be more consistent! Watch this video how many times I need to! To in courage myself, and push myself to the most healthiest hair! Thanks again For your inspiring words!!
Thank you! I took Biotin as well In the past and developed acne on my back and shoulders.. 6 years later those areas are prone to acne. So never again. I hate that I can’t find a multivitamin without biotin. Drinking a lot of water didn’t work to keep it at bay either. But thank you for the tips
Ugh sorry to hear that sis 😥 & same smh they don't want us to be great lol but honestly it's okay because it won't stop you from achieving your hair goals. You can still grow long hair if you choose to. & ofc! 🤗
Biotin is a vitamin that our hair skin and nails are made of so you won’t find a vitamin without it. You may just need to get your vitamin levels checked because iron, zinc, vitamin d, b12, and vitamin e can also promote growth
I wash, blow dry and straighten my hair once a month. I wear my hair in a clip most of the time and only comb it when I can't get away with smoothing my hair with my hands any more. So I comb my hair like once a week-ish. If I had somewhere to go I would probably wear it out from time to time but I don't go out much LOL. I trim my hair and do protein treatments around every 4 to 5 months or whenever it's necessary. I don't deep condition because it takes long enough to do my hair as it is and that's it. My hair is waist length and still growing like crazy.
Oh I forgot to mention that being a straight hair natural has been working out way more for me. It's less work, I get less tangles and less single strand knots. So I agree with what you said you got to do what works for you. Your hair looks amazing by the way.
@@Ashley-rh2ol Yes! You go ! I am def not against heat at all. Personally, I want to see my curls long even in it's most shrunken state, but everyone should do what works for them. You can def still grow long natural hair while using heat and having it in a straightened state most of the time. It is possible. Good for you, that's amazing & thanks for sharing 🥰
the thing wth biotin is you have to drink A LOT A LOT A LOT of water or you will see yourself breaking out. Or take it as a low dose inside of multi vitamin
Also another con with a wig is the expense. I think wigs are (if you’re getting the decent ones at-least) can be very expensive, so it will be harder to change up the wig if you want something different.
I just took my twist down, they were in 2.5 months and my hair almost locked. I washed my hair twice a month in those twist. I usually add hair, but I I’m tryna do the natural thing,I’ve noticed my hair grows faster and thicker without extra hair added. So I’m wearing my fro rn and I’m going to put the twist in my natural hair for a little while. I want to grow my hair thicker and longer.
I have definitely never understood when curly coilies talk about hours of detangling. I have been lazy naturaling most of my life and have never spent even an hour detangling... my natural hair growth goal was to wear twists without weave. I reached that a few years ago but a lover of length is never satisfied so I'm still trying to get it waist length
Yeah I used to be that girl detangling for hours smh glad I got lazy in that area. It's actually helped me retain more length lol & omg same! It's not super long though so I gotta keep growing them till they look like added hair ✨ Congrats on reaching that goal! A lover of length is never satisfied for sure. I think I want mines to my butt now 🫠 idk haha but I know you'll get there soon! Happy growing & thanks for watching! 🥳🩷

I'm like you. Lazy, lazy, lazy. I also don't see much retention when I don't do protective styles. I shaved my head in 2017 and every year for 4-6 months I'd do locs. Because I need my curls for spring and summer. Now my hair is too long to continue using locs because my last take down process was too long for my liking. This year I'm entering into autumn with braids but I do prefer the look of twists, so might switch it up by December.
Yes yes haha but being "Lazy" is what works. It gives us actual results. Yes I've just recently realized my hair is too long for add in hair too. I can still use it but the take down do be a fortnight lol

@@amytarie. Girlo no...I mean I loc my hair. Lol. No extensions. Because I find it so hard to keep my hands outta my hair, that I figured if it's loc'd, it's stuck there for the next few months. Even though I may intend to keep braids or twists in for a longer period, I cave. Hahaha...so yah.
New subbie. And some genetic have people with thicker hair for example so their hair doesn’t break as much n their hair grows long.. but yeah don’t just blame it on genetics. Everyone can grow some kind of hair. I stated taking hair skin n nail gummies. I do one in Am other in pm with food n drink water. N the gummies isn’t crazy high in biotin so that’s how I combat the breakouts… or just take one a day Edit: I’m back. Again re watching lol. Make sure I’m still doing the right Stuff. did you talk about scalp massages that’s good. Or inversion method once a week/ yoga/ workout. Just because those things are supposed To circulate blood n get blood to the scalp N I have to blow dry my hair to keep it from tangling back. I tried the braid out to stretch n my hair was so tangle after just washing (but dry) I was raking away clumps of hair.
Yes this is true. I'm glad biotin in low doses in gummy form work for you. It still didn't work for me even in low doses. The only product I can remember that didn't cause acne is "Sugar Bear Hair" gummies. That mess was crack 🤣🐻🩵
Aw no worries, thanks for watching! ☺ Yes I do, however, I also sometimes just use my own hair. Just depends on how I'm feeling for that style of the month
@lisacallender. Try braiding 3 or 4 links at the root then go into your twist. I do that and wear mine for a week. They stay very nicely. Could go longer but I like to wear it out for church then resist. I love the simplicity of wearing twists.
Do you put gel or edge control at the roots ? That's how I do mine & they last. Then when they begin to get frizzy around 3week mark I just do updo styles for another week to make 1 month then wash my hair and retwist.
My hair has grown a lot over the years, but I am constantly touching my hair. I'm talking protective styles every 3 days lol. Most people are, saying, 3 months, and I'm freaking out. Can I do it? I'm gonna try!. I'm going to do twist tonight, and I pray I can only wash it once a month. 😂❤ Wish me luck 😢
Protective styles every 3 days? ... Oh girl .. no 😭that's a low manipulation style. Yes, ofc you can do it! Start small with just 1 month and move up when you're ready. & you got this! I believe in you 🩷
You’re not allergic to biotin love. We naturally produce it in our bodies. It works so well that it detoxifies our bodies and when you detox, it has to come out somewhere. If you’re not drinking enough water to detox through urine or eating enough fruit to detox through feces then it will come out through your skin. It’s just your body’s way of getting rid of what isn’t supposed to be there, which is a good thing. I’m a nurse so I understand these types of things on a scientific level.
This is a God send from The Lord Jesus Christ okay!! Like you, I was under the belief I had to ensure a comb went through my strand with perfection and seeing all the breakage I just knew I was doing something wrong! As long as my hair isn't matted or knotted it's detangled! End of story
Your hair is gorgeous! I also think your skin is amazing. Do you have anything “special” that you use or tips for healthy looking skin? I try to eat healthy & drink lots of water…🤷🏽♀️
Aww thank you ! 🥰 & I do have a skincare routine. I did a lot of trial and error with product testing and just found some that worked well for me. & yes, keep eating healthy & drinking water ! 🩵
Curly hair does come with a lot of shrinkage and it depends on your texture/type. Usually the tighter the curl the higher the shrinkage. Also "Long" hair is just perspective. It may not have looked long to you if you don't view hair to your butt as long. Maybe long hair to you and on you looks like hair down to your knees, haha only you can decide that. The "bigness" of your hair is volume. You can watch vids on how to make your loser 3a/b curls have more volume. If you wear your curly hair in a wash n go often try not to use gel, as it weighs the hair down. Hope that helps :)
I LOVE THAT FOR YOU! I'M TRYNA GET LIKE YOU SIS! 😭 That's dope you were able to leave em in that long. ( As long as you washed your scalp in between obvi ) I just know yo hair got INCHES!!! 😍📏
I couldn't go for a whole month last time I did twist, I washed too often because I get scalp build up and I need to clarify it, the washing kinda loosened the twists a bit from the top and it tangled with it each other it felt like I got a whole mat on my head which feels hot in summer and also itchy so I ended up taking it out tho my issue wasn't really being bored of it
Maybe you need to figure out the root of the scalp build up first ? Do you live a very active lifestyle and have a gym / workout routine or live somewhere humid where you're outside often? If you don't wash it as often with little to no build up so it can last longer, then when you do wash it, you should be able to just retwist a few that are loose ( as they will get after time passes ) and be able to sustain them longer. Or ... you can simply try another protec. style that you feel suits you better all together :) Twists are just what I've found for the reasons stated in the vid. work best for me.
@@amytarie. I liked twists more in terms of looks ngl and the first time I did then i saw noticable growths, as for my lifestyle, I do workout and I do live in a coastal city and I go out often, ngl I can't stop doing any of that but I think it's just that I did them too loose to begin with and I'll try again some other time
@@amalakram8755 Okay yeah an active lifestyle will have yo scalp ITCHIN' 😭 I used to be a bit more active than I am now & I remember those days lol Yeah don't stop your lifestyle. Re try the twists tighter, and look up vids on black girls and dry shampoo 🤔 idk if it works for us but see if it can help with build-up in between washing. If not tho , just wash however often you need knowing that you'll need to retwist some sections more often here and there.
I'm getting faux locs soon, and I'm planning on getting it done with the cornrow method of installation, is that the method you used or did you use the single braid install? Sorry for the longwinded question 😭
No worries! I used the single braid installation method smh I haven't tried it with cornrows tho so lemme know how that goes for the take down, yeah? 🫶🏾 Thanks!
Love the video, thanks! How do you keep your twists in for so long. I've tried several times and after a few hours they come loose and I have to re-twist. I even put leave-in conditioner and a grease seal in, but they keep coming loose. 🤒🥵😤
Thanks sm for watching ! :) It might be the direction in which you are twisting them ? If you twist them correctly they should not come loose. I am making a mini Twists vid. soon so i'll go into details on that.
Is the type faux locs … remember when it first became a thing people barely had issues but from the time we start using the softer curly extensions and not actual Marley hair those problems started…
I actually don’t remember when it happened exactly but when it did it changed everything 🤦🏾♀️ I’ve only had them 2x ever & idk if I could do it ever again because I accidentally cut off like 5inch of my hair
I remember when i visited family members all i walked with was grease for 6 months. My hair was bleh before i went . All i did was plait and unplait my hair nothing extra but put grease. I harldy even washed my hair. When i got home and took my id pic i saw how thick and long it got. I did not even know it looked like that . Then i put heat on it and that was it 😂 i destryed it
Tbh I use whatever cause I'm always down to try something new. However, my staples as far as moisturizing my hair is Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie, Melanin Hair Care Twist & Elongate Style Cream, & Lotta Body Coconut & Shea Oil Moisturize Me Curl & Style Milk.

One thing that helped me with faux locs is using yarn to create a barrier. You can either braid/twist it in with with your hair, crochet at the base and loosely wrap, or crochet at the base and hold the yarn and your hair together when installing the fake hair. Works if you have loose or loc’d hair.
Oh wow, okay yes ! Thank you for that tip cause I was like *sniffs* guess I’m gonna have to say goodbye to faux locs Foever 😢

Hooow LONG ur hair is!!! Its amazing seriously!! I love once they get so long it starts to elongate the strands a bit more!!! My healthy curls have mass shrinkage tooo ❤
Aw thank you ! 🥹🫶🏾 & yes me too. I like it because it's almost like a reward to see the growth from elongated curls, especially for the girls with tighter type 4 hair like me. Cause the shrinkage too real 😭

Protective styling helped my hair too. I cut all my hair off in 2019. I didn't do much except wear a scarf (on top of a bonnet) every day. Had a minimal hair routine.
Yes! 👏🏾 minimal routine + protective styling = Long hair ! 🙌🏾 you got the right equation !
Oh my word I absolutely love this girl!

Faux locs are my jam and help grow my hair the most. I haven't tried wigs, but the last time I did box braids, I had so much breakage. I've been natural since I was a sophomore in high school and I'm 24 now. My hair has grown down to my lower back cause I've stopped using straightening tools and do minimal manipulation. I truly love being a natural hair girlie cause our hair is so versatile!
Omg that's awesome! Welp, diff strokes for diff folks. I'm glad faux locs works well for you, cause girl I wish! 😂 & yes to being natural for 9yrs you go! 🙌🏾 Absolutely love the versatility of our hair 💕

2:23 Biotin gave me cystic acne too! Remember that biotin helps grow hair, nails AND skin so over a certain dose (which is very small), the skin cells over produce! I stopped taking it & just started focusing on my retention routine because that acne scarred me for YEARS 😩
SO TRUE! Omg I didn't know about overproducing skin cells tho?! No wonder! 😩 Yeah just focusing on retaining length rather than speeding up growth in that 1 month span is way better. & I just found a product that's been fading my acne scars from all those years ago 🥹❤🩹 bless!!!

Back when I was natural my twists would loc after two weeks lol, but they looked so good the first week! I definetly feel that if twists had worked for me; I would 100% still be natural because they are a goated style.

Maaaannnnnnnnnn I was trying to explain that detangling secret to someone, because I had the same revelation and it was honestly so beautiful! We have coils - they group together as a family of strands, they’re not meant to be separated individually. But back to the story, she would comb with…(pause for dramatic effect) a fine tooth comb!! A FINE TOOTH COMB. On her DRY HAIR. I wanted to cry. I tried to explain, but she was insistent it was necessary for her hair type. It was truly sad. Some people have said in the past that RUclipsrs for natural hair is oversaturated, but clearly it’s not enough! Thank you for sharing your journey and helping individuals like those out 🥰
Not a fine tooth comb ?! 😧 *gasp* *tiktok audio - you need to leave* Now a wide tooth comb I can understand a bit more but a fine tooth ? Chile ... I hear the caw of a bald eagle rn 😔🦅 for our fallen soldier. Oh well to each their own lol Glad you had this revelation as well & keep telling those who will listen and want to grow! It's truly an unspoken mystery haha.
& aw you're so v welcome ! *gives hiug* 🫂
@@amytarie. Yeah it’s WILD 😂 Of course 🤎
Really trying to grow my hair without using protective styling. I love twist outs and braid outs but I think the over manipulation may be too much..
Yes ! So rn idk what that looks like so I need to research & test trail how I can grow my hair without protec all the time. It would be beneficial at least to know how.
Agreed, it is over manipulation if you are Re-braiding every night. ( which I do in between protec styles )
If I find a routine to grow hair without using protec I’ll keep you updated & post a vid on it :) thanks
The inversion method is a good one and also greasing my hair with blue magic

Tip for the biotin, you have to drink a lot of water with it. It causes cystic acne in anyone who doesn’t drink enough water while taking it
I drank so much water when taking Biotin and still broke out 🫠 so I'm good lol
Same… it would break me out as well and I drink a ton of water as well. I lowered my dosage and haven’t broken out since
@@chelseaevans5624 right! Glad you can take a lower dosage though and that works for you 🫶🏾
The key with biotin is to drink A LOT OF WATER lol per day! That will keep the side effects at minimum.
I drank so much water I could float a whale in my belly 😩💦 & still broke out real bad smh
@@amytarie. Oh nooooooo!!!! okay scratch that altogether lol
@@CoilyCode But thank you for the advice !
@TheCoilyCode you are so correct! I used to break out and looked like a strawberry and then I started drinking a whole gallon of water a day and after a couple of days my skin cleared up completely and I still drink a LOT of water each day and no more breaking out 🤗🤗
@@amytarie.Same
I only use a wide tooth comb on wash day to help detangling when needed before twisting my hair.
Yep , that’s the smart way to go ! 👏🏾
I just know yo curls poppin’ 🌀✨
Underrated youtuber
Aw, thank you 🥹 we on the come 🆙
Now that I think about it, I think biotin worsened acne for me, too. I live in twists majority of the time. My hair is about 1.5 inches past my collarbone and this is the longest it ever has been. I don't comb my hair. 100% finger detangling. The comb is only used for parting my hair 😂 Never saw the point with how coiled my hair is. I also deep condition every time I wash my hair. I haven't trimmed my hair in over a year. I don't apply any heat to it so it makes no sense to me at this time. All of this has helped me immensely. :)
You my good sis, are indeed my curly twin ! This is like my exact routine & guarantees THE MOST GROWTH results! Wow good for you 🥳👏🏾 Can't wait to see you continue to prosper !
@@amytarie. Thank you! 😊🙏🏿
So true about the faux locs I almost cut off FIVE INCHES OF MY HAIR The last time my auntie installed some never again.. I was literally inches away from cutting my hair and didn't even realize it

@@amytarie. I currently have twisted my head right now! I want to get back to growing out my hair.. at one point my hair was just a little bit above bra strap length, and that was the longest my hair has ever been.. I didn’t even know I could grow my hair that long.. but unfortunately, since I have got it colored a couple of months before I had to get three whole inches cut off as I saw, there was a lot of split Ends.. and for a while, I gave up and decided to not even grow my hair anymore and I’m still disappointed about that now.. but now it has been confirmed that I can literally grow my hair in just twist! I had got my twist done somewhere near the end of October, and I’m actually going to start my journey from November to the end of December for my two month hair growth journey! I really thank you for helping me out with this.. as I’ve been very upset ever since I got my inches cut off, but thank you so much for making me feel better!
@@_cmrartmoonpixxy_3924 oh girl you got this! Don’t be discouraged. You can do ANYTHING! Yes your hair can grow long all it takes is self discipline 😭 that’s the only hard thing I promise.

Thank you! I took Biotin as well In the past and developed acne on my back and shoulders.. 6 years later those areas are prone to acne. So never again. I hate that I can’t find a multivitamin without biotin. Drinking a lot of water didn’t work to keep it at bay either. But thank you for the tips
Ugh sorry to hear that sis 😥 & same smh they don't want us to be great lol but honestly it's okay because it won't stop you from achieving your hair goals. You can still grow long hair if you choose to. & ofc! 🤗
Try collagen and vitamun C it helps hair growth.
Biotin is a vitamin that our hair skin and nails are made of so you won’t find a vitamin without it. You may just need to get your vitamin levels checked because iron, zinc, vitamin d, b12, and vitamin e can also promote growth

Haha thank you ! 🤭
I was pulling my hair when you was talking about pulling your hair. 😂 I like to see the bulb of my hair. Im trying to stop
Girl we got an addiction real bad 😭 we MUST be stopped lol
I wash, blow dry and straighten my hair once a month. I wear my hair in a clip most of the time and only comb it when I can't get away with smoothing my hair with my hands any more. So I comb my hair like once a week-ish. If I had somewhere to go I would probably wear it out from time to time but I don't go out much LOL. I trim my hair and do protein treatments around every 4 to 5 months or whenever it's necessary. I don't deep condition because it takes long enough to do my hair as it is and that's it. My hair is waist length and still growing like crazy.
Oh I forgot to mention that being a straight hair natural has been working out way more for me. It's less work, I get less tangles and less single strand knots. So I agree with what you said you got to do what works for you. Your hair looks amazing by the way.
Wow, that's a healthy routine you got yourself ! Glad to hear you are thriving with your curls :) Keep on keeping on 💕
@@Ashley-rh2ol Yes! You go ! I am def not against heat at all. Personally, I want to see my curls long even in it's most shrunken state, but everyone should do what works for them. You can def still grow long natural hair while using heat and having it in a straightened state most of the time. It is possible. Good for you, that's amazing & thanks for sharing 🥰
the thing wth biotin is you have to drink A LOT A LOT A LOT of water or you will see yourself breaking out. Or take it as a low dose inside of multi vitamin
Great video!

Also another con with a wig is the expense. I think wigs are (if you’re getting the decent ones at-least) can be very expensive, so it will be harder to change up the wig if you want something different.
They have so many inexpensive options though that you can rotate a bunch
True depending on your financial situation and priorities ( but I understand what you mean )
Also true
I just took my twist down, they were in 2.5 months and my hair almost locked. I washed my hair twice a month in those twist. I usually add hair, but I I’m tryna do the natural thing,I’ve noticed my hair grows faster and thicker without extra hair added. So I’m wearing my fro rn and I’m going to put the twist in my natural hair for a little while. I want to grow my hair thicker and longer.
Yes cousin ! 👏🏾 You go girl ! That's how you do it! You'll be at your goal in no time! By the way ... what are your hair goals? Cheers !🥂
You are prettyyyyy
Aw, thank you ! 🥰
I have definitely never understood when curly coilies talk about hours of detangling. I have been lazy naturaling most of my life and have never spent even an hour detangling... my natural hair growth goal was to wear twists without weave. I reached that a few years ago but a lover of length is never satisfied so I'm still trying to get it waist length
Yeah I used to be that girl detangling for hours smh glad I got lazy in that area. It's actually helped me retain more length lol & omg same! It's not super long though so I gotta keep growing them till they look like added hair ✨ Congrats on reaching that goal! A lover of length is never satisfied for sure. I think I want mines to my butt now 🫠 idk haha but I know you'll get there soon! Happy growing & thanks for watching! 🥳🩷
I'm like you. Lazy, lazy, lazy. I also don't see much retention when I don't do protective styles. I shaved my head in 2017 and every year for 4-6 months I'd do locs. Because I need my curls for spring and summer. Now my hair is too long to continue using locs because my last take down process was too long for my liking. This year I'm entering into autumn with braids but I do prefer the look of twists, so might switch it up by December.
Yes yes haha but being "Lazy" is what works. It gives us actual results. Yes I've just recently realized my hair is too long for add in hair too. I can still use it but the take down do be a fortnight lol
@@amytarie. Girlo no...I mean I loc my hair. Lol. No extensions. Because I find it so hard to keep my hands outta my hair, that I figured if it's loc'd, it's stuck there for the next few months. Even though I may intend to keep braids or twists in for a longer period, I cave. Hahaha...so yah.
@ Oh haha got it !
New subbie. And some genetic have people with thicker hair for example so their hair doesn’t break as much n their hair grows long.. but yeah don’t just blame it on genetics. Everyone can grow some kind of hair.
I stated taking hair skin n nail gummies. I do one in Am other in pm with food n drink water. N the gummies isn’t crazy high in biotin so that’s how I combat the breakouts… or just take one a day
Edit: I’m back. Again re watching lol. Make sure I’m still doing the right
Stuff. did you talk about scalp massages that’s good. Or inversion method once a week/ yoga/ workout. Just because those things are supposed To circulate blood n get blood to the scalp
N I have to blow dry my hair to keep it from tangling back. I tried the braid out to stretch n my hair was so tangle after just washing (but dry) I was raking away clumps of hair.
Yes this is true. I'm glad biotin in low doses in gummy form work for you. It still didn't work for me even in low doses. The only product I can remember that didn't cause acne is "Sugar Bear Hair" gummies. That mess was crack 🤣🐻🩵
Thanks so much for a great video! Do you use weave extensions when you do your twists?
Aw no worries, thanks for watching! ☺ Yes I do, however, I also sometimes just use my own hair. Just depends on how I'm feeling for that style of the month
Twist dont last even two days in my hair. It gets very frizzy and looks like I did them weeks ago.
@lisacallender. Try braiding 3 or 4 links at the root then go into your twist. I do that and wear mine for a week. They stay very nicely. Could go longer but I like to wear it out for church then resist. I love the simplicity of wearing twists.
Do you put gel or edge control at the roots ? That's how I do mine & they last. Then when they begin to get frizzy around 3week mark I just do updo styles for another week to make 1 month then wash my hair and retwist.
Omg Amy from MCU! 🫶🏽💖
OMG Jas!!! 😆😍 Hi! How are you ? Hope life has been treating you well 🩷
Do you have IG? We should connect
Just so you know Biotin is HIGHLY inflammatory! I was breaking out as well. A lot of ladies don't know this !
P.S love your hair ! It's beautiful! ❤
Oh wow , I didn't know 😧 that makes sense & thank you !🤭🩷
take it with other vitamin b and you will not break out
My hair has grown a lot over the years, but I am constantly touching my hair. I'm talking protective styles every 3 days lol. Most people are, saying, 3 months, and I'm freaking out. Can I do it? I'm gonna try!. I'm going to do twist tonight, and I pray I can only wash it once a month. 😂❤ Wish me luck 😢
Protective styles every 3 days? ... Oh girl .. no 😭that's a low manipulation style. Yes, ofc you can do it! Start small with just 1 month and move up when you're ready. & you got this! I believe in you 🩷
I’m a wig girly wen I’m bored with my twist . Wig me girl 😂😂
Girl the way I wanna be a wig girly so bad !!😩😮💨 The one’s who do it well be having me think 2x & wanna retract my statement 😂
You’re not allergic to biotin love. We naturally produce it in our bodies. It works so well that it detoxifies our bodies and when you detox, it has to come out somewhere. If you’re not drinking enough water to detox through urine or eating enough fruit to detox through feces then it will come out through your skin. It’s just your body’s way of getting rid of what isn’t supposed to be there, which is a good thing. I’m a nurse so I understand these types of things on a scientific level.
Oh okay thanks for sharing!
this was so informative i love it
I feel like my hair is to short to rock twists 😂😂. The twist be looking like worms on my hair
Not worms 🪱 😩 haha but feel it. Rock another style then just do your best to make it last a long time between wash day. Retaining length is KEY !!!
This is a God send from The Lord Jesus Christ okay!! Like you, I was under the belief I had to ensure a comb went through my strand with perfection and seeing all the breakage I just knew I was doing something wrong! As long as my hair isn't matted or knotted it's detangled! End of story
Yes & praise his name! Amen 🙌🏾 We don't need no comb 🪮 the comb needs ✨ US ✨

Dermalmd Hair Growth Serum is the real deal! My hair has grown so much faster and stronger since I started using it.
Really ? Interesting .. I’ll have to give it a try
7:01 best advice you do not to frequently use combs as it takes more hair.
I had to learn the hard way over the years 🤦🏾♀️ but at least we here now 🤪🙌🏾
😢it's so odd. I had hair to my butt twice, but never looked long or big at all when curly. and I have the "3a and b"...never.
Curly hair does come with a lot of shrinkage and it depends on your texture/type. Usually the tighter the curl the higher the shrinkage.
Also "Long" hair is just perspective. It may not have looked long to you if you don't view hair to your butt as long. Maybe long hair to you and on you looks like hair down to your knees, haha only you can decide that.
The "bigness" of your hair is volume. You can watch vids on how to make your loser 3a/b curls have more volume. If you wear your curly hair in a wash n go often try not to use gel, as it weighs the hair down.
Hope that helps :)
girl I'm taking out these mini twists that I put in.... THE END OF MARCH.... GIRL ! it's SEPTEMBER!!!!😵💫
I LOVE THAT FOR YOU! I'M TRYNA GET LIKE YOU SIS! 😭 That's dope you were able to leave em in that long. ( As long as you washed your scalp in between obvi ) I just know yo hair got INCHES!!! 😍📏

Hey beautiful! what type of hair do you use for your twists?
Sometimes I use Kanekalon , and sometimes I use Xpression
I couldn't go for a whole month last time I did twist, I washed too often because I get scalp build up and I need to clarify it, the washing kinda loosened the twists a bit from the top and it tangled with it each other it felt like I got a whole mat on my head which feels hot in summer and also itchy so I ended up taking it out tho my issue wasn't really being bored of it
Maybe you need to figure out the root of the scalp build up first ? Do you live a very active lifestyle and have a gym / workout routine or live somewhere humid where you're outside often?
If you don't wash it as often with little to no build up so it can last longer, then when you do wash it, you should be able to just retwist a few that are loose ( as they will get after time passes ) and be able to sustain them longer.
Or ... you can simply try another protec. style that you feel suits you better all together :) Twists are just what I've found for the reasons stated in the vid. work best for me.
@@amytarie. I liked twists more in terms of looks ngl and the first time I did then i saw noticable growths, as for my lifestyle, I do workout and I do live in a coastal city and I go out often, ngl I can't stop doing any of that but I think it's just that I did them too loose to begin with and I'll try again some other time
@@amalakram8755 Okay yeah an active lifestyle will have yo scalp ITCHIN' 😭 I used to be a bit more active than I am now & I remember those days lol Yeah don't stop your lifestyle. Re try the twists tighter, and look up vids on black girls and dry shampoo 🤔 idk if it works for us but see if it can help with build-up in between washing. If not tho , just wash however often you need knowing that you'll need to retwist some sections more often here and there.
@@amytarie. thanks, it'll take a while but I will figure smthn out eventually and God willingly
I'm getting faux locs soon, and I'm planning on getting it done with the cornrow method of installation, is that the method you used or did you use the single braid install? Sorry for the longwinded question 😭
No worries! I used the single braid installation method smh I haven't tried it with cornrows tho so lemme know how that goes for the take down, yeah? 🫶🏾 Thanks!
Hi Amy! is conrows a great protective style to retain length?
Yes ! Just keep them in as long as you can. Wash & cond. your hair then re-braid them again !
Love the video, thanks! How do you keep your twists in for so long. I've tried several times and after a few hours they come loose and I have to re-twist. I even put leave-in conditioner and a grease seal in, but they keep coming loose. 🤒🥵😤
Thanks sm for watching ! :) It might be the direction in which you are twisting them ? If you twist them correctly they should not come loose. I am making a mini Twists vid. soon so i'll go into details on that.
@@amytarie. That would be great! Can't wait to see it. Thanks!
@fengshu. Try braiding the root 3 to 4 links then go into your twist. Be sure you twist tightly.
@@cathyfreeman8608 Yes thanks for adding that! This also is a great option if they keep coming undone :)
Is the type faux locs … remember when it first became a thing people barely had issues but from the time we start using the softer curly extensions and not actual Marley hair those problems started…
I actually don’t remember when it happened exactly but when it did it changed everything 🤦🏾♀️ I’ve only had them 2x ever & idk if I could do it ever again because I accidentally cut off like 5inch of my hair
Did you have a video with how you braid your hair? Couldn’t find it.
Yes here’s one m.ruclips.net/video/W6xcWLAQSXI/видео.html there’s others on twisting as well 🫶🏾
