In Jan 2012 my hair broke off down to the scalp bc I used a out of date color I purchased from Wal-Mart. So I basically had to start from scratch. I was wearing a ponytail and decorative scarves on my head. I don't care how much oil you slather on your head, you still have to open the cuticle of hair shaft with heat. I'm not against oil but use ,natural like jojoba,avocado,almond Shea, etc.But hair growth start from within . It has a lot to do with what you eat, cleansing like your liver when the blood is cleansed it can properly nourish the hair. If your body is toxic nothing grows. You have to give it the best. Also nutrients are a plus like Chinese herbs, bao shin, ho Zhou wu, msm w/ vitamin c, biotin, silica, horsetail, vitamin a, collagen, hylauronic acid, acid balanced shampoo for your hair not a alkaline which is a mistake a lot of ppl make bc of the silky feel. That's a no no . Also what's great is to trim your ends on the new moon for long hair and full moon for thick. My hair is slightly past my collar bone due to the fact that I have a long neck and ultra thick hair.People always give me. compliments on how pretty, thick and long it is. I noticed when my hair started growing back my ponytail was short yes bc of my thick hair. If you're on meds or doing drugs your hair might not grow as fast bc of the chemicals in your system. I'm not talking about dreadlocks and weed. Overall , your hair growth depends on you and if your hair is thick, that's bc it's more dense and will appear shorter than someone with thin hair. We have all hair types, not nappy hair just dry hair, coiled, z pattern s pattern loose wave it's still hair and Yahweh created us unique individuals. It took me time to realize that, it called acceptance what I cannot change I make the best of what I have.. Oh one more thing essential oils help oxygenated the cells and help hair growth such as basil, lavender, cypress, rosemary, sage, hyssop, Lemmon, ylang ylang, grapefruit and ginger to name a few. I hope this was helpful to those on their journal.
OMG! Dear I have combed the web trying to find out how to keep my little girl hair beautiful and healthy. I needed my little girl to be able to see the beauty in her hair and you Dear have given me the tools to do just that. You are a Angel and I am forever grateful. Thank you so much.
Real talk: I don't know WHAT the point is of having waist length hair if you're going to wear it in a bun, braids, weaves or wigs (as another video suggested). Why bother?? So you can SAY you have waist length hair? What is this obsession? Better to have shoulder length hair that you can actually wear out and enjoy. Hell, even short hair, if it's healthy, is so much better than restricted, hidden hair of any length. That's just my opinion, but I think we Black women need to keep our eyes on a different prize. That being, loving what we HAVE instead of coveting or faking something we don't.
+tequilashots875 I agree that braids are beautiful, but I'm troubled by the obsession with "waist length hair." Healthy and happy hair is way better than super long hair. I was trying to say that being happy with whatever length your hair is at its best is better than struggling for something that's so hard to achieve.
+chris Allen I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't get the obsession with waist length hair either. you can't do anything with it. I rather shoulder length hair that I can do various styles in.
+chris Allen I concur. I want to enjoy my hair and glory in its beauty regardless of its current length. I fail to see how I would be able to enjoy waist length hair ( or shoulder length or hip length or whatever the case might be) if I found myself feeling constrained to keep it all hidden away for the most part. Where's the pleasure of that?
I wouldn't say washing your hair once a month is a bad thing. It just depends on your hair type and what your hair can and cannot handle. With that being said, even washing too much or not enough can be both damaging. Great video by the way!
I have never ever ever EVER watched a RUclips video for no more than 5 minutes....but you trapped me. This video was so informative and inspiring. Hugs 4 you!
Thank you so much for your helpful tips and sweet support! You have such a beautiful warm nature that brings hope and calm to all of us who are trying to achieve the health and beauty we want for our natural locks. I hadn't seen my natural hair for over 40 years! Finally rocking my twa and loving the sweetest, coily kinky cap! I'm in love! We just need patience and self love! Thank you, thank you!!
All I did was went natural, and wash my hair every month sometimes every two months, and deep conditioner my hair or sometimes a leave in, clip my ends every six months and my hair is growing like crazy. All this you're telling these people isn't necessarily. But thanks for your time going out your way to try others. May God bless you for it.
I can not wash my hair once a month, my scalp would smell sour. I have Type 2 Wavy Fine Hair. I shampoo my hair every week, 52 times a year. I only use natural products. I do Deep Conditioning every week. I clip my ends every 4 months. I'm growing out my 1/2 inch Pixie Cut from 2016. Then I went to a DevaChan and cut it back down in 2017. So, now my hair is 11 inches long. When I cut my hair for my Pixie, it was 21 inches long. It should shouldn't take me long to grow it back. My hair grows a 1/2 inch a month. It was always so expensive to keep a Pixie Cut. I have to go back every two weeks to maintain the shape😒
I just removed my weave, and relaxed it and saw this crunchy, afro ball of fur that's been there since the age of 5, I decided that if I want long hair, I have to stop wearing weaves to improve it's growth and follow your tips, I just really hope that it reaches at least to my neck so I can have hope in having long hair again.
Please buy the book The Science of Black Hair or you can watch my review of the Science of Black Hair - How to Take Care of Weaves & Braids. The book is worth every dime. Her tips on weaves are 100% on point. I wore a weave for a good 8 years and never had thinning edges and grew my hair to armpit length. There are lots of rules you have to follow. My hair is Brastrap length now. I hope it helps you achieve your hair goals.
Girl! I LOVVVVVEEE the book. I followed all the scientific advise and now my hair is really thriving. I was stuck at a plateau for a while bcuz I was doing a random hair regimen and randomly trying products. Now, that I know how to read the labels and understand what the ingredients will do to my hair I have finally pushed past my plateau. My hair is the longest and thickest it has EVER been in my ENTIRE LIFE! :-)
I had the braid weave in my hair once and it took out the back of my hair. I'm never getting them again. I usually get my hair pressed with a hot comb, flat iron, or Dominician blow out (which is very hot on the scalp, makes you want to jump out the chair, but is very healthy for your hair and makes it look gorgeous). I have never had any chemicals in my hair, 100% natural, but when I get a Dominician blow out, it looks like I have a relaxer. For some people, weave grows your hair, but it breaks out mine. I have shoulder length hair, but I am only 12. My mom has waist legnth hair, but she also has a relaxer. Her tip is (will work for people with chemicals in their hair and natural) is that you have to have a hair dresser with a good attitude, good life, and won't be scissor happy. Have a nice day everyone!
hi ...ima a senior....meds ate my hair out....bald spots....I started watching hair tutorials ...esp..Longnhealthy...I use all Canto Shea products +olive oil +cocanut oil...+vitamin E...I kept my hair braided...noticed growth....washed and conditioned real good...wore it pressed bout a week.....then washed...good conditioner...Canto or olive oil....its growing and thickening....not waist length but that's not my goal...its almost to my bra in back...so I'm satisfied....thank u Long and healthy...u been a blessing to me....LOC really works...!!!!!
As for trims, I typically trim every 4 months or twice a year. If you do healthy hair care practices, you probably won't have to trim your hair much. Since you are trying to retain as much as length as possible, I recommend you keep your ends hidden and tucked away, keep them moisturized, and restrict your heat use to once or twice a month. This will help you keep the trimming to its minimum. If you need more help, feel free to PM me. Thank you for subscribing. :)
Great question. It can be depending on how much manipulating you are doing. Try not to use combs or brushes everyday but maybe every other day if need be. Try to use your fingers instead. Re-doing your bun everyday is fine as long as you are being gentle with your hair.
Thank for the vid. These are constructive tips, but they don't scratch the surface of actual methods for growing hair. Essentially your info is based upon how to care for your hair (and possibly maintain the length). Most folks are seeking ACTUAL ways to GROW their hair. We've seen tons of videos on how to care for our hair. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the hair will grow any longer. It's my understanding that what goes in must come out i.e. the nutrients that you take will give much more aid to growing our hair - provided we're healthy.
I realized washing my hair more is key! At least once a week. It gets so itchy and dry doing that once a month thing. I used to do once a month when I did not know any better.
Hey girly. I suggest to oil that part of your scalp every other day with some castor oil to help promote noticeable hair growth to that area. Do not under any circumstances put weave in your hair while trying to grow the edges back . Refrain from manipulating that area as much as possible. Brushes, gels, and can slow down the progress. I hope that is enough to help you get on the right track.
Thanks so much for all the tips, and i just want to let you know that im only 12 years old, but i am obsessed with long hair. It seems like some of the people that have my dream hair dont even really care about it. Ok, i would say my hair is to about maybe close to or at shoulder length. So, my question to you is, how long did it take you to grow your hair longer, and about how long do you think mine will take if i follow your steps. ( and if it helps, im african american)
The best moisturizer for 4c hair is water,conditioner and DAX AND THE YELLOW SHEA BUTTER I grew my 4c/4D hair to 19 inches with DAX AND SHEA BUTTER. Oil is NOT FOR 4C HAIR IT MAKE YOUR HAIR VERY DRY AND IT DOESN'T HOLD MOISTURE FOR VERY LONG, OILS WORK BETTER IN TYPE 3 HAIR OR 4A HAIR BUT 4B/4C/4D STAYS MOISTURIZED WITH DAX NOT BLUE MAGIG DAX.
I'm 13 and I have no idea how to do my hair. I usually stick with plaits. My mom doesn't do my hair anymore so I do it. I don't use heat that much. I've never had a perm and my hair is "long". It's below bra strap length when it's straightened. It just won't grow.
Your hair is growing Sweety, you just probably have some breakage at the end. Keep you hair moisturized every day. You can just spray water on your plaits and seal it with olive oil. Snip splits ends when you see them.
My hair is to my mid-back right now and I'm trying to grow it to my waist. Do you have any tips? I'm pretty close thanks to your awesome videos! Thank you so much
I know how that losing length and trying to get it back routine goes. As long as you stick to healthy hair practices, I'm sure you will get to WL. Also, I second Hairlista. So much info there for newbies.
WTG! Thank you for the advice. Yes, you are right about shampooing your hair at least once a week with all the pollutions in the air. The hot oil treatment is a must for healthy hair. Thanks again.
It's funny you should mention shampooing your hair once/week, when I just saw a few videos where it was said once/mth is the best way to go (just rinsing in-between with ACV or co-washing). Personally I prefer once/wk, to get rid of product build-up etc.
Really i think its a personal preference thing, neither is wrong nor right. We just have to see what works best for us, some people use more product, some people sweat more and might need to wash more often....some people dont :) No head of curly hair is exactly like another.....do you
Hey. I'm sorry to hear this. I suggest you talk to your mom and tell her exactly how you feel about her using so much heat. No, weave does not grow your hair. Your hair automatically grows but you have to take very good care of it to retain all of your length.
There's a new hairbrush out there that you can use while your hair is wet. It's the "Wet Brush". I think you can get them online; I got mine from the salon I go to. The bristles are very flexible and they don't tear your hair out when used correctly. I recommend it to everyone since it's worked wonders with my hair!
Very good video, with some excellent tips for beginning naturals. In fact, I think that you should really re-post this under a title similar to: 'Best Natural Hair Tips For Beginners'.
Great Vid! I agree with the hot oil treatments. I am doing a Hot Castor Oil Hair Growth Challenge on my channel. I pre-poo with Hot Castor Oil every week. My hair is thriving and I retained 4 inches of growth last year. I am at Brastrap length almost mid back, but my goal is waistlength. So, I am watching youtubers with waistlength hair to get tips on how to maintain the hair as it transitions in length. I notice the curls are stretching now as the hair gets heavier and it takes much longer to do on wash day! Great tips!
Yea me and my best friend both on a hair journey, she talked me into starting one and its been 2yrs. Hopefully in June I'll be Bra strap length. My long term goal is to be Mid-back length not waist length, tooo much hair for me but thank you for sharing these reminders and tips :)
I'm transitioning ( 1/2 months now ) I think I'm gonna stop flat ironing my hair all together. I'm still learning about my hair. My hair is growing quick. Olive Oil makes it grow fast for me.
Thanks sis, liked the video. I have to agree with the person who said long hair is a genetic matter. Keeping healthy habits will create healthy hair but it does not mean your hair will grow waist length. You hair is beautiful keep growing!
Thank you, I will be starting that LOC method tomorrow. It make sense in that order. Your one of the BEST videos I've seen with the steps & explaining. Teacher talent, much appreciate you sharing. Keep being blessed. Thanks again 'Lovelife'
TIP!!!!!!: In the summer but leave I. Conditioner on your hair before you go swimming and or coconut oil. It will protect your hair from chlorine. Also make sure you rinse shampoo and condition after every chemical swin
I ve had hair cut twice it was waist length . Now I am growing it again but I am much older but they grow very well, I use coconut oil ,massaging before shampoo every week, Getting nutritious food and enough sleep . I do not use any products on my hair other virgin coconut oil. Thanks for the video.
You don't sound stupid. Sew-Ins are trickier when it comes to the LOC method. You would probably just have to spritz a moisturizing mixture into your roots. Something that contains a liquid, oil and cream all in a spray bottle. If you have a leave-out that would be the easiest section to do the LOC method on. Otherwise, you may have to wait until you take the sew-in out to use the true LOC method.
Took about 3 years. Thats includes all of the trimming I did trying to even out my hair. If I didn't cut so much, I'm sure it would have taken me 2 years.
I have questions! 1: do i wash my hair before my hot oil treatment? 2: when i wash my hair after my hot oil treatment am i making sure i wash all the oil out? and am I conditioning it after the shampoo? 3: does this method still apply for relaxed hair? I wore my hair natural for a long period of time but it got so thick that my scalp was always hurting. 4:whats your opinion on hair growth pills such as HairInfinty?
Tomie Ito Loc(k) in moisture: L = L Liquid or/and Leave in conditioner O = Oil Avocados 🥑 oil, olive oil, (light oil # penetrating into hair shaft) C = cream such shea butter/ sealant
My hair fell out , you barley could grip it, I didnt wash my hair for 17 mos. My hair is waist length, and i used natural ingredients to give myself moisture EVERYDAY.
I was below my bra strap, but now I'm a little above it, I had some split ends from lack of taking care of my hair the last few months. So I had 4 inches cut off and ready to get back to doing my routines. So I can get back to below bsl, I am aiming for wl by the end of 2014. Thanks for the tips, and hairlista is a great start for help. =)
Hi longNhealthy, I'm new to your channel and I was wondering if you have any tips for growing out your edges? I took at my sew in a few weeks ago and I lost a lot of hair around my hair line and I really want it to grow back fast. Also how often do you trim your hair? I usually get a trim only when I go to the salon to relax my hair ever 2-3 months. My hair is currently neck length but I want to grow my hair out. Do u think I should stop cutting my hair altogether to retain length?
My hair is thin in one area and that's my back middle section. I've started over twice and it is still a problem. Anything you know that could help me any?. My hair is real actively thick everywhere except that section. I've started using doo growth thick oil but I'm seriously getting discouraged :/
Thanks so much for this great video! Your an awesome teacher and your hair is beautiful. I'm going to take your advice on those 10 great tips and I'll let you know from time to time how my journey is going. Thanks again for sharing!
hey i love your vids, and i just started on my new hair journey and i just bought myself some new products and one of them was tropical life organic extra virgin coconut oil and i wanted to ask u, can u use coconut oil every day like to grease your hair???
im sorry if i sound stupid but how can i do the loc moisturize method if i wear a sew in? Can you tell me how to keep my hair healthy while wearing sew in? what to do to my hair before putting sew in in and what to do while sew in is in? Thank you so much :)
hi Im new at all this healthy hair thing and really need help. My hair is extremly dry what can i do ?? and i was also wondering how and when do you deep conditionning your hair ??
Try deep conditioning your hair once week while moisturizing and sealing every night. I deep condition my hair once a week in sections and leaving it on my hair for an hour under a plastic cap.
Wow what product did you use how often did you moisturize what did you do to help your hair grow so long and healthy please help please please😭😵😓😢😪 help me I just wanna give up shave my head bald and give up
Hi did you take any vitamins Wow how did you get your hair to grow so long did you have hair braids do you have a protective style did you wear wigs or sewin did you do the greenhouse method are inversion method what product did you use did you moisturize your hair how often did you do it cuz I'm getting ready to cut all of my hair cuz I'm tired of my hair I am mad tired no matter what I do it won't grow please please help 😭😵😖😥😰😢😪😪😟😧😕😦
Love your videos - and am so glad I found you! I would die for your hair, but genetically, it's just not possible. I am so desperate to connect with someone who will respond to my problem. I have just ordered some of the products you use and am already using others, but I continue to lose hair - suddenly. I have so many "nearly bald" spots, I can't do anything but try and flat iron the top of my hair for some kind of style and leave the back alone. A wig is something I just can't do. I'd give anything just to have the amount of hair I did in this photo just 3 months ago. I made the mistake of trying WEN, but not for long. In Sept I had scalp surgery to remove cysts. I already had a weak spot on the left near my ear. When my scalp was nearly healed, I had a Design Essentials relaxer and it appears to have taken out tons of hair - especially in the weak area and around the injured areas. I've always loved that perm. Can you recommend another one? With my genetically weak hairline and other issues, I look much better with straight hair. I'm combining raw shea, lavender, avocado oil (best discovery ever thanks to a black skin care specialist), jamaican black castor and rosemary. In the dry, high Colorado climate, it barely makes a difference, although my scalp seems healthier. Can you suggest anything? Sorry for the lengthy post. deongillespie@gmail.com

Weaving has helped my hair to grow. It can act as a protective style.

I've been on my hair journey for quite some time. The information you give is excellent. Please know this when reading your comments!
Ive seen a lot of how to grow your hair videos but honestly this one is one of the bests! Thank you c:
Aw...thank you for your support.
Thank you for your kind words. These tips will also help you get to MBL. Just stay consistent and you will see length.
I have short term goals, I am armpit length and I can't wait to get my hair to grow
Please ignore the idiots in the comment section that are negating the information that you have doled out!
Thanks so much for all the tips, and i just want to let you know that im only 12 years old, but i am obsessed with long hair. It seems like some of the people that have my dream hair dont even really care about it. Ok, i would say my hair is to about maybe close to or at shoulder length. So, my question to you is, how long did it take you to grow your hair longer, and about how long do you think mine will take if i follow your steps. ( and if it helps, im african american)
The best moisturizer for 4c hair is water,conditioner and DAX AND THE YELLOW SHEA BUTTER I grew my 4c/4D hair to 19 inches with DAX AND SHEA BUTTER. Oil is NOT FOR 4C HAIR IT MAKE YOUR HAIR VERY DRY AND IT DOESN'T HOLD MOISTURE FOR VERY LONG, OILS WORK BETTER IN TYPE 3 HAIR OR 4A HAIR BUT 4B/4C/4D STAYS MOISTURIZED WITH DAX NOT BLUE MAGIG DAX.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT, MY HAIR LENGTH ON MY SHOULDERS DID BRAKE ON THE ENDS. SO NOW I WEAR MY HAIR UP, AND NOW IT'S GROWING BACK.
I'm 13 and I have no idea how to do my hair. I usually stick with plaits. My mom doesn't do my hair anymore so I do it. I don't use heat that much. I've never had a perm and my hair is "long". It's below bra strap length when it's straightened. It just won't grow.
Sounds like you need to start a healthy hair journey. :)
Your hair is growing Sweety, you just probably have some breakage at the end. Keep you hair moisturized every day. You can just spray water on your plaits and seal it with olive oil. Snip splits ends when you see them.
I find that my hair grows easier if theyre in braids.
My hair is to my mid-back right now and I'm trying to grow it to my waist. Do you have any tips? I'm pretty close thanks to your awesome videos! Thank you so much
Clean scalp and hair, yes! Love the vid, your voice, intelligence, hair tips, and you got right to the point.Thank you.
very good video. Thanks for being so specific. I wear braids daily and corn rolls. I love braids. Very, very helpful.
I know how that losing length and trying to get it back routine goes. As long as you stick to healthy hair practices, I'm sure you will get to WL. Also, I second Hairlista. So much info there for newbies.
WTG! Thank you for the advice. Yes, you are right about shampooing your hair at least once a week with all the pollutions in the air. The hot oil treatment is a must for healthy hair. Thanks again.
This is the first youtube channel that actually gives good tips thanks and cant wait for more videos
Oh, I remember these videos. This one just showed up on my feed... It's 2022... October.
could you make a list of the products you used. and the length of time you put them in your hair. thanks
Great video but I have a question- how long did it take for you to grow your hair to that length? Sorry if it was mentioned (I didn't catch it). :D
thank you for the tips I will definitely be putting them to work my goal is to achieve healthy hair
It's funny you should mention shampooing your hair once/week, when I just saw a few videos where it was said once/mth is the best way to go (just rinsing in-between with ACV or co-washing). Personally I prefer once/wk, to get rid of product build-up etc.
Really i think its a personal preference thing, neither is wrong nor right. We just have to see what works best for us, some people use more product, some people sweat more and might need to wash more often....some people dont :) No head of curly hair is exactly like another.....do you
Hey. I'm sorry to hear this. I suggest you talk to your mom and tell her exactly how you feel about her using so much heat. No, weave does not grow your hair. Your hair automatically grows but you have to take very good care of it to retain all of your length.
There's a new hairbrush out there that you can use while your hair is wet. It's the "Wet Brush". I think you can get them online; I got mine from the salon I go to. The bristles are very flexible and they don't tear your hair out when used correctly. I recommend it to everyone since it's worked wonders with my hair!
Thanks for that video, you are wonderful. Do you perm your hair?
Very good video, with some excellent tips for beginning naturals.
In fact, I think that you should really re-post this under a title similar to:
'Best Natural Hair Tips For Beginners'.
Great Vid! I agree with the hot oil treatments. I am doing a Hot Castor Oil Hair Growth Challenge on my channel. I pre-poo with Hot Castor Oil every week. My hair is thriving and I retained 4 inches of growth last year. I am at Brastrap length almost mid back, but my goal is waistlength. So, I am watching youtubers with waistlength hair to get tips on how to maintain the hair as it transitions in length. I notice the curls are stretching now as the hair gets heavier and it takes much longer to do on wash day! Great tips!
"pre-poo" T_T

crazymusicgrl
Which pre-poo do you use?
castor oil & olive with a little jojoba and vitamin e. If on a budget do majority castor oil with a little olive oil

how long did it take you to grow your hair
Yea me and my best friend both on a hair journey, she talked me into starting one and its been 2yrs. Hopefully in June I'll be Bra strap length. My long term goal is to be Mid-back length not waist length, tooo much hair for me but thank you for sharing these reminders and tips :)
Haha. A lot of ladies believe that WL is too much hair. No problem. Thanks for watching the video.
Thanks girl! I'm in love with this style. Helped my bun look less boring, imo.
Thank you for your support. It means a lot.
I'm transitioning ( 1/2 months now ) I think I'm gonna stop flat ironing my hair all together. I'm still learning about my hair. My hair is growing quick. Olive Oil makes it grow fast for me.
Can I use Jamaican castor oil for my hot oil treatment and inversion method?
+Kiara Pullum I think u can because ive tried and it worked
Thanks sis, liked the video. I have to agree with the person who said long hair is a genetic matter. Keeping healthy habits will create healthy hair but it does not mean your hair will grow waist length. You hair is beautiful keep growing!
thanks for the info..I do have bad habit..I'm learning..lol..what are some natural oils you recommend..thanks
first actual helpful method ive watched
***** yeah and she doesnt just beat around this bush with unhelpful things like most ppl who do these videos do
Thank you, I will be starting that LOC method tomorrow. It make sense in that order. Your one of the BEST videos I've seen with the steps & explaining. Teacher talent, much appreciate you sharing. Keep being blessed. Thanks again 'Lovelife'
TIP!!!!!!: In the summer but leave I. Conditioner on your hair before you go swimming and or coconut oil. It will protect your hair from chlorine. Also make sure you rinse shampoo and condition after every chemical swin
What creams would you suggest? Do you like Shea Moisture brands? Carols Daughter?
I ve had hair cut twice it was waist length .
Now I am growing it again but I am much older but they grow very well, I use coconut oil ,massaging before shampoo every week,
Getting nutritious food and enough sleep .
I do not use any products on my hair other virgin coconut oil.
Thanks for the video.
You don't sound stupid. Sew-Ins are trickier when it comes to the LOC method. You would probably just have to spritz a moisturizing mixture into your roots. Something that contains a liquid, oil and cream all in a spray bottle. If you have a leave-out that would be the easiest section to do the LOC method on. Otherwise, you may have to wait until you take the sew-in out to use the true LOC method.
I'm trying to get my curls to waist length not my straight hair but these tips were still helpful
Took about 3 years. Thats includes all of the trimming I did trying to even out my hair. If I didn't cut so much, I'm sure it would have taken me 2 years.
braids and twists are protective right?!
yes
Hi do you take any hair vitamins if yes which one do you recomand???
Good Info!!! How long did your waist length journey take?
About 3 years on and off. (As you can see...I'm still trying to maintain it.)
Great hair tips! I am on a hair journey too and I have been using those same tips and they are working. Can't wait to get to waist length, lol.
I have questions!
1: do i wash my hair before my hot oil treatment?
2: when i wash my hair after my hot oil treatment am i making sure i wash all the oil out? and am I conditioning it after the shampoo?
3: does this method still apply for relaxed hair? I wore my hair natural for a long period of time but it got so thick that my scalp was always hurting.
4:whats your opinion on hair growth pills such as HairInfinty?
Thank you soo much this saved my hair from breaking
Aw...anytime.
LOC method really works....try it...
So, just so I get it right:
Liquid= water
Oil= (coconut, olive, etc)
Cream= Conditioner
Is that it?
+Lady T thank you!
Tomie Ito
Loc(k) in moisture:
L = L Liquid or/and Leave in conditioner
O = Oil Avocados 🥑 oil, olive oil, (light oil # penetrating into hair shaft)
C = cream such shea butter/ sealant
Ashley B. Yes
Just stumbled across your vid....this is good info to know. Green veggies are a booster for healthy hair too. Thanks for sharing such great info.
My hair fell out , you barley could grip it, I didnt wash my hair for 17 mos. My hair is waist length, and i used natural ingredients to give myself moisture EVERYDAY.
17 monthss?!!! whoa!
I love your voice! You must sing beautifully
LOL! Thank you!
At least once a week. Maybe twice if your hair really needs it. I stuck with once a week myself.
Love the video. ...I use the LOG method, went back to the basics.
What products did you use specifically the oil
- I couldn't see it in the beginning of the video, it was showing.
thank you
Hope this works on mee!!!
I enjoyed this so much!
Aw...thanks for watching!
I was below my bra strap, but now I'm a little above it, I had some split ends from lack of taking care of my hair the last few months. So I had 4 inches cut off and ready to get back to doing my routines. So I can get back to below bsl, I am aiming for wl by the end of 2014. Thanks for the tips, and hairlista is a great start for help. =)
Hi longNhealthy, I'm new to your channel and I was wondering if you have any tips for growing out your edges? I took at my sew in a few weeks ago and I lost a lot of hair around my hair line and I really want it to grow back fast. Also how often do you trim your hair? I usually get a trim only when I go to the salon to relax my hair ever 2-3 months. My hair is currently neck length but I want to grow my hair out. Do u think I should stop cutting my hair altogether to retain length?
Thank You helpful information I appreciate it. 😊
My hair is thin in one area and that's my back middle section. I've started over twice and it is still a problem. Anything you know that could help me any?. My hair is real actively thick everywhere except that section. I've started using doo growth thick oil but I'm seriously getting discouraged :/
Thanks so much for this great video! Your an awesome teacher and your hair is beautiful. I'm going to take your advice on those 10 great tips and I'll let you know from time to time how my journey is going. Thanks again for sharing!

Love this! #10 is my #1 tip. May I ask, how often you use a comb in your hair?
I try to limit a comb to wash days. So maybe once or twice a week.

I enjoyed your tips the are really good ..and so true
hi Im new at all this healthy hair thing and really need help. My hair is extremly dry what can i do ?? and i was also wondering how and when do you deep conditionning your hair ??
Try deep conditioning your hair once week while moisturizing and sealing every night. I deep condition my hair once a week in sections and leaving it on my hair for an hour under a plastic cap.
Can you put the coconut oil in the microwave to warm it up?
Sike I was playing I know u meant warm up in your hands
Your video was very helpful.. Thanks for sharing

How long did it take you to achieve waist length hair?
Love your videos - and am so glad I found you! I would die for your hair, but genetically, it's just not possible. I am so desperate to connect with someone who will respond to my problem. I have just ordered some of the products you use and am already using others, but I continue to lose hair - suddenly. I have so many "nearly bald" spots, I can't do anything but try and flat iron the top of my hair for some kind of style and leave the back alone. A wig is something I just can't do. I'd give anything just to have the amount of hair I did in this photo just 3 months ago. I made the mistake of trying WEN, but not for long. In Sept I had scalp surgery to remove cysts. I already had a weak spot on the left near my ear. When my scalp was nearly healed, I had a Design Essentials relaxer and it appears to have taken out tons of hair - especially in the weak area and around the injured areas. I've always loved that perm. Can you recommend another one? With my genetically weak hairline and other issues, I look much better with straight hair. I'm combining raw shea, lavender, avocado oil (best discovery ever thanks to a black skin care specialist), jamaican black castor and rosemary. In the dry, high Colorado climate, it barely makes a difference, although my scalp seems healthier. Can you suggest anything? Sorry for the lengthy post. deongillespie@gmail.com
