Seun, a woman moving her hands and touching her hair is a sign of femininity in just about every country on earth. Some folks, yes black folks, are uncomfortable seeing a Black woman express her femininity by playing with her hair. Thus you see the myriad of baseless complaints here. These folks want you to portray a "strong" black woman instead of the gorgeous, young lady you are who is having fun and enjoying her hair. They've said everything from it's against the Bible to worship your hair to it being you manipulating your hair and a bunch of other nonsense. You know that most of that is jealousy right? Flip your hair, swing it, shake it, touch it. You grew it and it belongs to you,dear. They dont get mad at Becky for touching her hair every 5 seconds, but it is weird to them to see a Black woman proud of her hair. Don't change who you are for others. You're wonderful just the way you are!
melosidad1 For me, I feel that it's distracting the way that she keeps moving her hands.I love her hair, and she should feel good about it.Not everyone is jealous, it's just distracting.
People in the comments are hella annoying 🙄. Like who cares if she moves her hands a lot. That's just how she talks. She's adorable. LET HER BE ADORABLE! 😂👏🏾🙌🏾
I usually don't watch videos about hair longer than 5 minutes but Seun's personality had me smiling. Such a cute girl and thanks so much for the advice.
Because they are insecure within, and lack confidence. Therefore, when they see other girls happy and healthy, they start hating and being jealous because they don't carry this energy and confidence.
Sorry for moving my hands so much in this video!! I didn't realize it until you guys pointed it out, but now I know, and will be better in the future. Thanks!
This was a great video! Thank you for your tips. Not gonna lie though... I was slick hoping that was a wig that you were going to show us, then I read the title. lol! :D you're gorgeous
Life With Nina The proof is her hair tutorials which clearly shows that her hair is much shorter and thinner than this. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be petty. But if you're going to have a channel based on healthy relaxed hair, then you should be totally honest with your viewers. All the best to you.
Relaxed, long, short, 'natural', or whatever you want to say about her.....doesn't take away from the fact that she is beautiful, and has a glowing personality. My initial comment made no mention of her hair :)
JollySugarSocks yeahhh DONT DO IT SIS PLEASE,1st LETS PRAY ABOUT THIS ONE,THOUGH YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH IT AND NOT US AND ITS NOT UP TO US,THO BABYGIRL I KRAVE KRAVE NOT CRAVE KRAVE LOONG HAIR SOO I DNT WNT U TO CUT IT SWEETHEART, BUT IF YOU DECIDE TO ILL UNDERSTAND LOL BUT ILL BE HURT I KNO IT SOUNDS CRAZY RIGHTBC ITS NOT MY BODY/HAIR I WISHED IF U DID DECIDE THERE WAS SOMEWAY I COULD ATTACH IT TO MINE PERMANENTLY W/O A TRACK/METHOD IT BE SOMEHOW BONDED TO MY SCALP AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE 😂
@@mariaceraceanu2857 that is NOT 4c hair ruclips.net/video/-ivy2j_ybtA/видео.html . you cant compare different hair types and think it will look the same
She is just expressive and excited about presenting her knowledge. The people complaining probably can’t grow their hair for the fact,that they always focused on things have nothing to do with retaining hair, let alone length. Lol,ironically these same critics go and waste time standing in line, consuming gas to spend tons of money on hair extensions coming from people sacrificing their hair to gods and they complain about the price. If they complained more than they educated themselves about growing hair, this young lady wouldn’t have so many Korean clients as critics.
Shawn I think that the reason why she is touching her hair is because she isn't accustomed to wearing it loose all the time. She did say that she keeps it in protective styles. Aside from that I believe that the hand motions is part of her personality. She's adorable though.
Jon C She doesn't have genetically long hair. Black People seriously need to stop using this cop-out. If she did, she'd have to be getting a relaxer done every 2- 3 weeks. Have you ever met anyone whose hair grows so fast they have to get touchups every 3 weeks?? Human hair (white, asian AND african) grows at the same rate for the most part, with very little individual genetic variation. She does a better job at _retaining_ the length she grows - which is the same length *you* grow; which is the same length *I* grow- and that comes from knowledge and care NOT genetics.
I always thought my hair grew slowly and wouldn’t get past a certain length, until I realized that it was more a matter of me having to cut my new growth almost as quickly as it grew. I’ve spent the past year and a half trying to figure out how to stop my hair from thinning on the ends or at least slow it down. The changes I’ve made include: moisturizing daily or every other day, stretching my relaxer (went from every 6 weeks to every 10-12), wearing my hair in a bun daily as a protective style, and most importantly, cutting way back on daily manipulation. I feel like that last one is what has truly made the difference for me. I stopped using combs and brushes, and now I just gently finger comb when I moisturize or style it. Oh and I sleep on a satin or silk pillow case, so I don’t have to wrap it anymore (too much manipulation required). I think by the end of this year, I should finally be close to my goal length (bra strap).
@@user-np2bc5mc2q So what can you do if its in your genetics and you got the texture? Can you still get it to grow like they're hair ? I have the same kind of hair as my sisters but mine just don't grow. Well it grows fast but it falls just as fast.
There are many factors that stunts hair growth. Not eating properly, prescribed medications, illnesses and diseases, stress and your genetics. So it doesn't matter what you put on your hair if your inner health is down it does affects your hair growth and texture too. Eating your fruits and vegetables, oily fish, grass fed meats, drinking water, daily exercise, getting lots of rest, cutting down stress last but not least covering your hair before going to bed and using natural oils that agrees with your hair greatly helps.
it does matter what you put on your hair. I have epilepsy and have to take a lot of medication, I have for years. it helps to eat healthy but you also need to KNOW your hair and treat it from the outside as well. balancing protein and moisture is also very important. I have managed to grow my hair to my tailbone by paying attention to both, but if I'm being honest when I changed what I did on the outside I saw results quicker. this is also just speaking from my experience. I am also relaxed.
goldmouth100 yeah right , I seen about four women that grew there hair to waist length and tailbone length and they go and cut it off and I am like Noooooooooo!!! But it is there hair!! I do not understand my people and then they go buy weave!!
I can only speak for myself, I had to cut because it was in a weakened state. As soon as I would stretch the relaxer, it would break too easily and lead to shorter hair. Very frustrating if you put in all this work to grow it. I also like color and maintaining both relaxed and colored hair is very challenging. Had to transition and braid it up. Leave it alone and less heat..leads to more length and stronger hair in my opinion.
goldmouth100 I cut mine off cause damaged and my hair was straight I missed my curls and it was down my back . Lol length is easy to retain so I'm more worried about the state cause Ik I can grow it back quick and it healthier
it is such a pleasure to watch you !!! People can be intolerant , hand gesture while talking is a sign of passion. The person believes in what she is saying and that the beauty of this channel. She is informative and truthfull. So please let her be with her hands moving all around. by the way, she is african, and when we talk, we like to hand gesture!
Kenzo Lorenzo It's not all her hair. Take a look at the videos where she's braiding her own hair. It's nowhere near this long or thick. Please be honest, Seun. I just found your videos and you are very talented, but because of this video, I'm thinking about unsubscribing.
@@fayannenatural5204 I put my hair in a few big loose cornrows and wore a u-part wig for like a month. Oiled the braids a lot underneath and the hair was so healthy and soft.
Seun, I had followed one of your crocheting tutorials when I had shoulder length hair and was very happy with my diy results. Since then I have done some pretty extreem things to my hair over the years. Once the damage was done I broke down and got the "big chop". My hair is now long enough for protective styles so I went with box braids by African braiding hands. Needless to say, the first 2 nights I had to sleep on my face because my hair was so tight and everything(even turning my head) hurt so bad. And YAAAS! So far my edges are the first to go and I have not had these braids in for a whole week yet. Had I known then what I know now. I have found you video's to be SUPER informative and educational. This time around I have subscribed and liked/loved. This is only the begining for my hair. I surely don't want it to be end because of these braids. From now on I plan to use the information you have provided to guide me on how to treat my hair as I continue on my journey to growth. Thank you so so much for keeping it real, and for putting in the work to make these videos for us women who take growing and caring for our hair very serious. ❤Much Love and Respect🙏
Gorgeous hair! Before I decided to go natural I tried to stretch it but the two textures were in a fist fight everyday and my relaxed hair lost and hit the floor. keep doing your thing.
Girl show off that beautiful mane! I love when u flip it & move it around keep doing it keep them haters hating! I don't understand how some1 would hate on u cause you're telling us how to take care of our hair so we can have a healthy crowning glory & to grow our hair long if we want it long. It's something wrong if someone can't appreciate your knowledge that you're giving to your views.
You Guys Stop Complaing Y'all Just Hatin Fr. I Hate when y'all say " Your hands are distracting" "You touch your hair to much in the video" Like She tryna Give u information your hair and you guys are worried about her hands and BTW if u can't see she said she's sorry for moving her hands so much
You have a beautiful smile also don't listen to the negative comments the way you touched your hair is adorable most of the people complaining are just jealous
What is the sense of growing your hair if you can't wear it out? I want to grow my hair but putting it up all the time isn't worth it to me. I prefer to wear my hair more often than wearing a protective style. She has this beautiful head of hair but only wears it out one week of every 4 months?
Denesha Record I wear my hair out all the time. You just can't be scared to oil it up and moisturize it. Protection can come from sealing in moisture like a crazy woman. Your ends just need to retain moisture. Protective styles are a option if you don't want to oil your hair down daily. It's pros and cons to both ways.
I agree. I am sure she is happy with her method, but to me, it is not worth it. All that work only to wear it out a fraction of the time. But people like knowing they have long hair, without seeing it. For me, seeing is believing.. lol! I'd rather have mid length hair that I can enjoy. That is just me.
I think it's just up to the individual. I have long hair (just below armpit length) but it's also really thick. I like the length for how it looks when it's curly. Wearing it straight every once and a while keeps it an exciting and interesting style. That's probably why she's touching it so much. I only straighten my hair like 2-3x a year. And by the time I do it I've forgotten what my hair looks or feels like straight so it's a brand new experience hahaha
In my opinion, natural hair is so hard to maintain. I've done both in my life. When my hair was relaxed, it was always, short, dry, damaged, thin and brittle. When My hair was natural, it grew so fast and was so long. I had little to no breakage. It was thick and healthy and I loved it, but for me, personalty it was just too difficult for me to maintain. I'm thinking about cutting mine too, I accidentally used a stronger relaxer on my hair and a lot of it came out leaving my crown very short and the rest of hair different lengths; (some long, some shorter. ) I'm still debating exactly what I want to do. I wish there was some sort of happy medium. Years ago all I wore was weave, because I didn't have to do much to it. Just mainly get up and go, but I've been exploring other options. My hair is naturally dry so that is one of the biggest problems for me. I know I am supposed to oil moisturize and condition daily, but even that sometimes begins to be a bit too much.
Agreed. Growing long natural hair is not easy and can be so confusing for newly natural. GROW YOUR HAIR is an app on GOOGLE PLAY STORE to help newly naturals. Its very helpful
I saw that you said natural products haven't worked for you. I use 5 large carrots shredded into a pan, 1 over ripe or soft large avocado smashed into the carrots and add 2 1/2 C of extra virgin olive oil. Cook on simmer for 20mins without a lid.. Strain ONLY the liquid. My hair is SUPER dry but not anymore.. It also made my hair grow and finally keeping its length. I do my own box braids. I also use rice water to wash my hair. I put Vicks on my edges to grow, learned from my dermatologist, it WORKS!!
I just got my first Sew in "professionally"for the first time in March... I couldnt WAIT to take it out! I used RAW hair had a closure as well. I also used a net. My braids were FAR from tight. I got a deep conditioning and trim before the braids were done & washed my sew-in every 2 weeks. I HATED my first weave experience. Why? I took my sew-in out after 1 month and a week. I tried to wait the full 2 months but just couldnt. It itched and I had so much shedding and breakage and swollen sores in my scalp after the takedown. I have coarse kinky thick healthy hair and to see the thin limp breakage was horrid. So now, im nursing it back to health with Castor oil and Amla oil & crochet braids(luv these). I believe the breakage & sores came from scratching the net onto my scalp. I almost forbid sew-ins after that experience but... Im ginna try again cause I did have some growth. Next time... im doing it myself and NO NET!
My hair was longer than yours and i shaved it off. I had shoulder surgery and was awaiting neck surgery. So I physically couldn’t care for it and it was getting tangled. At the time I was natural. Now I’m relaxed. But my point is.....our hair will grow back!!! So if you feel like cutting just go for it. You know what to do to keep it healthy and strong and when you want it long again you know how to care for your hair. Best of luck. I enjoyed your video.
Very I formative video! This is coming from a good place. Touching your hair a lot also cause breakage. I have a real nice length to my hair as well. And am relaxed girl and I’ve notice the less I do and the less I manipulate my hair is the best results I see!
I love your hair...I love natural hair...relaxed hair..short hair...long hair....weaves hair...braided hair..even the short no hair styles....what dont people get about being individual..... Its your hair....its 2017....do what the hell you want with it.....common sense...if your hair is a different texture then take care of it with that texture......some people may not actually can grow their hair long....it actually maybe genetics.......who knows...just research....put in your own work and just Be you.....
denise mitchell - Exactly. I think black people (I'm black) are being brainwashed into thinking that they have to do what every other black person does. We're all individuals so the natural hair movement should shut up and go and watch natural hair movement videos instead of relaxed hair videos. Black people should empower and encourage each other to be individuals, just like every other race does!!!
I’m a black woman with natural hair but I watch her videos because she has some very good tips on hair protection.....and you’re right there is nothing wrong with black women straightening their hair. However I would advice to be mindful of the brand being used because some of their formulas can lead to health issues such as fibroids. But being cautious of the products also goes for the natural girls because many of these companies use harmful chemicals in their formulas.
Relaxer is best done every 8 weeks,sometimes waiting too long causes breakage,all relaxer isn't sodium hydroxide and it does matter because lithium hydroxide cannot be used on a head that was previously relaxes by calcium hydroxid,please be careful with the info you are spreading,no wonder so many women walk into the salon with damaged hair because they gone crazy with RUclips tutorials and a lot of them send wrong info
Sherry Ann Todd. All you need is a good stay in conditioner like fermadol to keep the new growth for breaking from the perm. It's the ph balance that's in the stay in product My hair is about her length. I don't get perms any longer but I use to do them 6months at a time and uses the ph stay in conditioner. F.Y.I
Sherry Ann Todd you're right that waiting too long between relaxers isn't good for the health of your hair, but there are too many variables to state 8 weeks as a hard and fast rule. How often you relax depends on how quickly your hair grows (some people have more new growth than others at 8 weeks), how thick it is (thicker hair can be more forgiving of longer stretch times, because it tends to be stronger), how well you condition/moisturize (the healthier your hair, the more likely you can stretch it past the 8 weeks), how long you leave relaxer in when you do relax, what #type of hair you have (I have 4c but it's wavy, not super tight-- it doesn't draw up as much as some 4c hair. If my hair were tighter I'd have even more difference between my relaxed and unrelaxed hair making the meeting point even weaker)... I sometimes relax at 8 weeks. I have stretched to 12/13 weeks without noticeable damage. 10 weeks is probably my "sweet spot".
You are beautiful! Flip your hair, move your hands. Do whatever you want if that makes you comfortable! If they don’t like it, no one is twisting there freaking arm to watch your video! In my words, yes my words, to hell with them with they jealous asses! I really had a few other choice words but decided to save them. Now back to wonderful tips that have helped so many. Oh an thank you for taking time out of your day to share with us.
Hy guys your video rocks people have a problem what's wrong with her using her hands so much there is noting wrong just because you don't have long thick hair to touch stop being jealous
yall be in the comments Wildin. talking bout how she moves her hands a lot. that just means that she a good at speech. In order to be good at speech, you need to be very consistent with your body movement and the way you speak.
Girl its so cute to see u touch ur gorgeous hair. I can tell u love it. And its a sign of you finding yourself desirable, pretty and feminine that you do that. And indeed you are those things... I love it. All women should feel that way about themselves, not just white women. And if you have ever watched the ever sexy, ever beautiful, Ms Diana Ross, she flipped her hair back, and played with it ALOT and she always had men mesmerized by her beauty and feminine charms. Including the one and Only Michael Jackson who was so in love with her he could not see straight. And called her the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen!!! So all I can say is do your thing girl!! And PLEASE don't cut it! Its gorgeous!!
I disagree protective styles do not grow your hair, it helps you retain length. Additionally not everyone can wear protective styles and have success with length retention. After a while some people's hair will start to thin out and break.
Meka SLM It might not work for you but it grows my daughters hair. Her hair is mid back length now. After taking out her crochet it grew 3 inches in a month. Her hair is healthy and thick. If you have Instagram you can check it out. Gor_geous07
Yes, at the beginning of this video I tried to make it clear that the problem that we're trying to solve isn't that our hair isn't growing, but that our hair isn't retaining length. Protective styles work wonders for me, but I understand that everyone is different(: Show less
you have a point. your hair grows either way it is morw about retaining length. also folks dont get as much out of a protective style because they dont wash, condition or moisturizing their hair while it is in protective styles.
They jealous you because your video is brilliant and i am a qualified hairdresser and everything youve said is accurate. Well done and very informative. Thise who put thumb down are rancorous
Thank you for mentioning the danger in going to African Braiding salons. They are not your friend and they rip your hair out...leading to more set backs. I wish we had a list of people who do great sew ins and more personal testimonials. Hard to find a hairdresser you can trust.
Love this video Seun. I watched your sew in weave video and was able to put one in my hair afterwards for the first time, so thank you for that. Now that I have a working knowledge of how to do a sew in, I'm going to try to do it regularly and see if my hair retains more length or not. I usually have braids and have had success that route so it'll be interesting to see which is better. I'm thinking the weave (but then i have issues at the gym with the leave out when it gets all sweaty). Thanks again 💜
Lovely hair. I’m natural but this is similar to how I grew my hair a little bit longer than where I had previously plateaued. As little manipulation as possible! And I quit hair dressers entirely, not just the African braiders. I realized they were all ripping out my hair. I remember cringing as one braider combed my dry hair with a small fine tooth comb. I remember thinking, “this can’t be the right way to handle my hair” but at the same time I trusted the women doing my hair as trained and knowledgeable professionals. Took my while to learn they really don’t care about your hair at all. Especially if you’re natural with 4C. It takes a lot of work and patience to handle natural hair delicately. I learned how to do my own protective styling (mostly braids and wigs) But honestly my hair is sooo much work JUST to wear protective styles 95% of the time. Too much work for me. I totally understand you thinking about shaving your head. Im really considering ending all this insanity and freeing up my life by getting Sisterlocks. My consultation is early next year. Good luck with your hair goals!
Omg omg thank you soooo much like I honestly struggle and often get sad about my hair length and how I’m so different from some others hair and I rly get stressed about how short my hair is because my hair length is the only thing I wish I could change faster but ik it takes time and this video rly gave me inspiration and changed my mood from a sad to humble mood.☺️
Great Tips , New Subbiee 💕 and lord knows that it's hard to find good advice and tips for us " relaxed hair " girls I really hope you stay relaxed and have a successful hair journey
The first year of my hair journey I was over manipulating my hair so when I did my length check it barely even grew I was so my annoyed I hid my hair in braids for a year and treated my hair when removing the style I'm still on my second year of my hair journey and my hair grew sooo much best decision ever stop touching my hair often
It's not easy talking into a camera ... Funny gestures are bound to happen.. which is a cool way to calm nervousness... Nice talk you gave. I hope I can achieve more length past my scapula through this enlightenment..
Your hair is flawless. Plus you look very natural and very pretty at the same time. I have long black hair too but not as good and healthy looking as yours!
The picture I showed was from. 2013, but it stayed that length for a while. I would say that the majority of my growth occurred over the course of three years
Girl love your video and you moving your hands doesn't bother me! I do it too, lol! Keep doing you girl! Your hair is gorgeous and your beautiful! Anyone who gets distracted by her hands, move too the next video and don't comment! It's that simple! 🙄
Also something I realized a lot of people forget is you have to moisturize your scalp when you have those protective styles in . Still go in and put grease or whatever you use
Girllll it's also genes, I did everything but nadas mine will get to my shoulders and just stop. It will grow but break once it gets to shoulder length every time. My stylist of many years got very confused. So am natural now. ITS YOUR GENES!!!!!!
Seun am 6 months in, I'll let you know if it stops growing at my shoulders again. My point is you also have to include that genetics matter when it comes to hair growth, doesn't mean what has worked for you will work for someone else
your hair might be breaking off because when hair gets to shoulder length it usually stunts bc of the friction that can be caused by your clothes and stuff. so maybe your hair might grow if you minimize the contact it has with your shoulders? it depends though
Lirrulewon I use to struggling at shoulder length. Here is my tip to get longer hair. I was SL at the beginning of 2016 and I wore a lot of wigs, crochet (no too tigh) and twists without extensions it help me a lot to retain length and now i'm BSL. You have to use your comb as less as possible, so I didn't wear cornrows under my wigs but medium box braids in a low ponytail. I took me a while but it worked! :)
If I had this much hair I would touch it this much too ! Don't apologize
thank you
Me too lmao 😂
That's what I said
But that is also manipulating your hair which can cause damage. That was the number one no no in this video.
Exactly

Aw, thank you!
Seun please do not stop being yourself, move your HANDS, even more, you are beautiful!
Why are some females so jealous? why? How do you get jealous of what someone else worked for. i dont get it.
💯Like right.Shit
For real, this is the best comment so far
Thank you for saying some.
I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT EXACTLY FACT'S THE THE I AGREE 1,000%!
Because they are insecure within, and lack confidence. Therefore, when they see other girls happy and healthy, they start hating and being jealous because they don't carry this energy and confidence.
People are so ignorant . Who cares if she moves her hands too much or touch her hair. Get off her channel.
Faith 4
Faith 4 that's how many people express themselves while speaking, why is this a problem for people? 😭😭
Wops'N Hooligans Im not sure nut some people are just small minded.
Faith 4 Actually as you naturals like to preach, you shouldn't manipulating with your hair too much
I agree. This isn't new. It's called talking with your hands. Seun... keep talking as you please. Use your hands, it's perfectly normal.
Sorry for moving my hands so much in this video!! I didn't realize it until you guys pointed it out, but now I know, and will be better in the future. Thanks!
Seun, how about i read this comment right after i made a comment about it lol, but it wasn't bad.
Seun Be you! 👀
Seun Dont be sorry for moving your hands. Do you.😳👍
This was a great video! Thank you for your tips. Not gonna lie though... I was slick hoping that was a wig that you were going to show us, then I read the title. lol! :D you're gorgeous
p.s. when you shave your head, send me your hair on tracks
You're a gem! Dark sinned black women represent☺️☺️☺️

A. B. It's not all her hair, unfortunately.
Life With Nina The proof is her hair tutorials which clearly shows that her hair is much shorter and thinner than this.
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to be petty. But if you're going to have a channel based on healthy relaxed hair, then you should be totally honest with your viewers.
All the best to you.
Life With Nina P.S. That might be where many of the dislikes are coming from...
Relaxed, long, short, 'natural', or whatever you want to say about her.....doesn't take away from the fact that she is beautiful, and has a glowing personality. My initial comment made no mention of her hair :)
Pls don't shave it off. U have come too far. Ur hair looks so healthy & thick!

You are right, negativity does not get you anywhere
Lol y r ryt
Finally a real black person. I kept getting biracials. I'm not biracial,so feel their tips won't help me.
I was thinking the same thing...lol
honestly, i don't think her tips will help either. she has gentically thick and long hair, while some people just don't
Jon C She doesn't have genetically long hair. Black People seriously need to stop using this cop-out. If she did, she'd have to be getting a relaxer done every 2- 3 weeks. Have you ever met anyone whose hair grows so fast they have to get touchups every 3 weeks?? Human hair (white, asian AND african) grows at the same rate for the most part, with very little individual genetic variation. She does a better job at _retaining_ the length she grows - which is the same length *you* grow; which is the same length *I* grow- and that comes from knowledge and care NOT genetics.
I always thought my hair grew slowly and wouldn’t get past a certain length, until I realized that it was more a matter of me having to cut my new growth almost as quickly as it grew. I’ve spent the past year and a half trying to figure out how to stop my hair from thinning on the ends or at least slow it down. The changes I’ve made include: moisturizing daily or every other day, stretching my relaxer (went from every 6 weeks to every 10-12), wearing my hair in a bun daily as a protective style, and most importantly, cutting way back on daily manipulation. I feel like that last one is what has truly made the difference for me. I stopped using combs and brushes, and now I just gently finger comb when I moisturize or style it. Oh and I sleep on a satin or silk pillow case, so I don’t have to wrap it anymore (too much manipulation required). I think by the end of this year, I should finally be close to my goal length (bra strap).
@@user-np2bc5mc2q So what can you do if its in your genetics and you got the texture? Can you still get it to grow like they're hair ? I have the same kind of hair as my sisters but mine just don't grow. Well it grows fast but it falls just as fast.
She can move her hands as much as she wants. The 'do nothing' people are criticizing someone that is a 'Doer/ Doing Something!'
Applehead Gal Right
There are many factors that stunts hair growth. Not eating properly, prescribed medications, illnesses and diseases, stress and your genetics. So it doesn't matter what you put on your hair if your inner health is down it does affects your hair growth and texture too. Eating your fruits and vegetables, oily fish, grass fed meats, drinking water, daily exercise, getting lots of rest, cutting down stress last but not least covering your hair before going to bed and using natural oils that agrees with your hair greatly helps.
it does matter what you put on your hair. I have epilepsy and have to take a lot of medication, I have for years. it helps to eat healthy but you also need to KNOW your hair and treat it from the outside as well. balancing protein and moisture is also very important. I have managed to grow my hair to my tailbone by paying attention to both, but if I'm being honest when I changed what I did on the outside I saw results quicker. this is also just speaking from my experience. I am also relaxed.
i eat like shit my body is breaking down but my hair is mid back length for the first time hmmm
cathy damn lol I'm interested in being like u with the hair
Actually genetics only plays a roll in the texture of your hair and sometimes not even then it's honestly just a toss of the dice
True, .....but like she said understanding why your hair isn't growing is very important. Some people have scalp issues and don't realize it.
As soon as I find someone with the perfect relaxed hair they go chopping it all off...I hope that you don't but its your hair...But why tho :-( lol
goldmouth100 I know, I've unsubscribed sooo many bloggers because as soon as their relaxed becomes long and healthy they wanna get a haircut #why
goldmouth100 yeah right , I seen about four women that grew there hair to waist length and tailbone length and they go and cut it off and I am like Noooooooooo!!! But it is there hair!! I do not understand my people and then they go buy weave!!
emmjae penniman I have also stop watching there videos when they cut there hair!
I can only speak for myself, I had to cut because it was in a weakened state. As soon as I would stretch the relaxer, it would break too easily and lead to shorter hair. Very frustrating if you put in all this work to grow it. I also like color and maintaining both relaxed and colored hair is very challenging. Had to transition and braid it up. Leave it alone and less heat..leads to more length and stronger hair in my opinion.
goldmouth100 I cut mine off cause damaged and my hair was straight I missed my curls and it was down my back . Lol length is easy to retain so I'm more worried about the state cause Ik I can grow it back quick and it healthier
Me:Looks at her hair 😍
Also Me:Thinks About My Hair😖
Oh no!!! I know its your hair but please don't cut your beautiful hair!!
She said “shaving” and I’m about to dial 911 to report a crime.

Girl don't care about what people say about ur hands , it really doesn't matter, be you !!!
Thank you girl! I'll try(:
it is such a pleasure to watch you !!! People can be intolerant , hand gesture while talking is a sign of passion. The person believes in what she is saying and that the beauty of this channel. She is informative and truthfull. So please let her be with her hands moving all around.
by the way, she is african, and when we talk, we like to hand gesture!
Don't change a thing about how talk. People can be silly bullies. Let them. You are perfectly you.
Thank you!!😌
I can careless about the negative comments, I’m trying to get educated on hair growth! Thanks for the knowledge Sister!
You are so welcome. Thank you!!!
beautiful hair!
Thank you!
Seun, you don't owe anyone an apology. Your hands, your hair and your channel, don't like it then don't watch boom!
Wow! You don't need braids or weaves anymore! Your hair is God given attachment!! 😍
Please don't cut it!! Pleasssseeeee! 😨😨😨😲😲😵😵😵😭😭
Kenzo Lorenzo It's not all her hair. Take a look at the videos where she's braiding her own hair. It's nowhere near this long or thick.
Please be honest, Seun. I just found your videos and you are very talented, but because of this video, I'm thinking about unsubscribing.
@@Zizzyyzz are you serious?
@@ThePrettyArcher Are you?
@@Zizzyyzz wait. Why are you getting smart? I was legit asking were you serious about what you said she did.
"You're giving up strength for straight hair." Black women really need to hear that. Truer words were never spoken.
tcampbell2186 her hair her choice . Having straight hair doesn't make you less black
Life With Nina Yup.
My hair is not stronger natural.
tcampbell2186 my hair seems to break more sense I went natural
How you sound 😑
I was at shoulder length 2 months ago. Followed your tips and it’s grown 2-3 inches. Just relaxed it and I was shook 🤭
Amazing!
Which tips please?
@@fayannenatural5204 I put my hair in a few big loose cornrows and wore a u-part wig for like a month. Oiled the braids a lot underneath and the hair was so healthy and soft.
@@sharonmwangi20 wow, thank you so much. Have you used a chemical straightener to alter your hair or it's still in it's natural form.
@@fayannenatural5204 I relax my hair every few months.
I honestly didn't know that relaxed hair can grow so long and still look amazing. I almost cut mine off 👀 thank you for this!!!!! ❤
You're so welcome!
Who else is searching the whole internet trying to get long hair because you cut it really short and now you regret it? I know I am!😂
Had very long hair then I was like imma go natural do the big chop. I WANT MY HAIR BACK
Currently
No
Finally someone being honest, I had waist length hair and didn't have a "regimen".
Chardai Francis why u talking out your ass cause that girl hair is long and you’re jealous? Show proof 😒😒
her voice is soothing ......or is it because im watching this in bed
lol(:
Something sounds wrong with you 😠
Seun, I had followed one of your crocheting tutorials when I had shoulder length hair and was very happy with my diy results. Since then I have done some pretty extreem things to my hair over the years. Once the damage was done I broke down and got the "big chop". My hair is now long enough for protective styles so I went with box braids by African braiding hands. Needless to say, the first 2 nights I had to sleep on my face because my hair was so tight and everything(even turning my head) hurt so bad. And YAAAS! So far my edges are the first to go and I have not had these braids in for a whole week yet. Had I known then what I know now. I have found you video's to be SUPER informative and educational. This time around I have subscribed and liked/loved. This is only the begining for my hair. I surely don't want it to be end because of these braids. From now on I plan to use the information you have provided to guide me on how to treat my hair as I continue on my journey to growth. Thank you so so much for keeping it real, and for putting in the work to make these videos for us women who take growing and caring for our hair very serious.
❤Much Love and Respect🙏
Gorgeous hair! Before I decided to go natural I tried to stretch it but the two textures were in a fist fight everyday and my relaxed hair lost and hit the floor. keep doing your thing.
Thank you. So does this mean you consider going back to relaxed?
Girl show off that beautiful mane! I love when u flip it & move it around keep doing it keep them haters hating! I don't understand how some1 would hate on u cause you're telling us how to take care of our hair so we can have a healthy crowning glory & to grow our hair long if we want it long. It's something wrong if someone can't appreciate your knowledge that you're giving to your views.
Thank you!
You Guys Stop Complaing Y'all Just Hatin Fr. I Hate when y'all say " Your hands are distracting" "You touch your hair to much in the video" Like She tryna Give u information your hair and you guys are worried about her hands and BTW if u can't see she said she's sorry for moving her hands so much
Narriel Jackson THANK YOU! I was just about to post the same thing. People complaining while getting free information!
I think you're expressive and that's pleasant to watch 😊
Thank you😊
I just wanted to say that I love your smile! You are so beautiful. Thanks for making this video.
Aw, thank you!!
Finally, a channel I can relate to. Great!
i just love how authentic you seem. Super real. Seeing u play with ur hair every 2 seconds....make a nikka want u tho'
Yaaaaaaaas I love u girl I don't even have a perm but I have so much life after watching u 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love how you express yourself. Your complexion is glowing, love your hair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge💕❤💕👍👍
You have a beautiful smile also don't listen to the negative comments the way you touched your hair is adorable most of the people complaining are just jealous
Thank you so so much❤️
This is exactly what I want my hair to look like
This video was so genuine and candid. By far the best hair video I've seen so far.
Aw, thank you!(:
What is the sense of growing your hair if you can't wear it out? I want to grow my hair but putting it up all the time isn't worth it to me. I prefer to wear my hair more often than wearing a protective style. She has this beautiful head of hair but only wears it out one week of every 4 months?
Denesha Record I wear my hair out all the time. You just can't be scared to oil it up and moisturize it. Protection can come from sealing in moisture like a crazy woman. Your ends just need to retain moisture. Protective styles are a option if you don't want to oil your hair down daily. It's pros and cons to both ways.
Denesha Record You can wear it out.Preferably when the sun is down.thats the best time to let loose relaxed hair.
I agree. I am sure she is happy with her method, but to me, it is not worth it. All that work only to wear it out a fraction of the time. But people like knowing they have long hair, without seeing it. For me, seeing is believing.. lol! I'd rather have mid length hair that I can enjoy. That is just me.
audine2007 thats me too
I think it's just up to the individual. I have long hair (just below armpit length) but it's also really thick. I like the length for how it looks when it's curly. Wearing it straight every once and a while keeps it an exciting and interesting style. That's probably why she's touching it so much. I only straighten my hair like 2-3x a year. And by the time I do it I've forgotten what my hair looks or feels like straight so it's a brand new experience hahaha
Don’t hate. Take notes. Cuz she’s absolutely right.
I love your character. And moving hands is cute.your hair is a blessing from above. I love it.thanks for the video
Used to have natural hair but had to go relaxed and have been growing myhair out healthy. This video is great.
A lot of people are doing that too these days. Thank you!
In my opinion, natural hair is so hard to maintain. I've done both in my life. When my hair was relaxed, it was always, short, dry, damaged, thin and brittle. When My hair was natural, it grew so fast and was so long. I had little to no breakage. It was thick and healthy and I loved it, but for me, personalty it was just too difficult for me to maintain. I'm thinking about cutting mine too, I accidentally used a stronger relaxer on my hair and a lot of it came out leaving my crown very short and the rest of hair different lengths; (some long, some shorter. ) I'm still debating exactly what I want to do. I wish there was some sort of happy medium. Years ago all I wore was weave, because I didn't have to do much to it. Just mainly get up and go, but I've been exploring other options. My hair is naturally dry so that is one of the biggest problems for me. I know I am supposed to oil moisturize and condition daily, but even that sometimes begins to be a bit too much.
my natural hair sheds a lot.
My relaxed hair harrrrrdly shed.
Cammie
My lifeeeee in a comment.
Agreed. Growing long natural hair is not easy and can be so confusing for newly natural. GROW YOUR HAIR is an app on GOOGLE PLAY STORE to help newly naturals. Its very helpful
My hair too !
This is what works for me .....try Water , Shea Butter, then oil follow by more water .
My hair stay moisturized
olivia seed Yep. Mines also.
I saw that you said natural products haven't worked for you. I use 5 large carrots shredded into a pan, 1 over ripe or soft large avocado smashed into the carrots and add 2 1/2 C of extra virgin olive oil. Cook on simmer for 20mins without a lid.. Strain ONLY the liquid. My hair is SUPER dry but not anymore.. It also made my hair grow and finally keeping its length. I do my own box braids. I also use rice water to wash my hair. I put Vicks on my edges to grow, learned from my dermatologist, it WORKS!!
I just got my first Sew in "professionally"for the first time in March... I couldnt WAIT to take it out! I used RAW hair had a closure as well. I also used a net. My braids were FAR from tight. I got a deep conditioning and trim before the braids were done & washed my sew-in every 2 weeks. I HATED my first weave experience. Why? I took my sew-in out after 1 month and a week. I tried to wait the full 2 months but just couldnt. It itched and I had so much shedding and breakage and swollen sores in my scalp after the takedown. I have coarse kinky thick healthy hair and to see the thin limp breakage was horrid. So now, im nursing it back to health with Castor oil and Amla oil & crochet braids(luv these). I believe the breakage & sores came from scratching the net onto my scalp. I almost forbid sew-ins after that experience but... Im ginna try again cause I did have some growth. Next time... im doing it myself and NO NET!
Wow. Yes, try it yourself without the net, and good luck! Keep me updated
Cloves Painted Canvas I hate weave, I love braids
I love how your hair is layered.
No one cares if she shakes her hands about ! This vid just saved my damn inches.
Lol. Yours and mine!
Why are people sooooooo critical!!!!! I mean really!!! She took time to make this video to help all of us! Be thankful or don't watch the video!
My hair was longer than yours and i shaved it off. I had shoulder surgery and was awaiting neck surgery. So I physically couldn’t care for it and it was getting tangled. At the time I was natural. Now I’m relaxed. But my point is.....our hair will grow back!!! So if you feel like cutting just go for it. You know what to do to keep it healthy and strong and when you want it long again you know how to care for your hair. Best of luck. I enjoyed your video.
Aww, exactly!! Good luck to you too!
Very I formative video! This is coming from a good place. Touching your hair a lot also cause breakage. I have a real nice length to my hair as well. And am relaxed girl and I’ve notice the less I do and the less I manipulate my hair is the best results I see!
I love your hair...I love natural hair...relaxed hair..short hair...long hair....weaves hair...braided hair..even the short no hair styles....what dont people get about being individual..... Its your hair....its 2017....do what the hell you want with it.....common sense...if your hair is a different texture then take care of it with that texture......some people may not actually can grow their hair long....it actually maybe genetics.......who knows...just research....put in your own work and just Be you.....
thank you!
denise mitchell - Exactly. I think black people (I'm black) are being brainwashed into thinking that they have to do what every other black person does. We're all individuals so the natural hair movement should shut up and go and watch natural hair movement videos instead of relaxed hair videos. Black people should empower and encourage each other to be individuals, just like every other race does!!!
I’m a black woman with natural hair but I watch her videos because she has some very good tips on hair protection.....and you’re right there is nothing wrong with black women straightening their hair. However I would advice to be mindful of the brand being used because some of their formulas can lead to health issues such as fibroids. But being cautious of the products also goes for the natural girls because many of these companies use harmful chemicals in their formulas.
Thats too much hair 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
Yesss
I’m soooo happy I found your video again !!! Iv been natural for a few years now and I realized that I missed my relaxed hair .
❤️❤️
Hello! I just watched a bunch of your videos and decided to subscribe. You have a nice personality! 😊
Aw! Thank you
It is called gestures and facial expressions. She is a good public speaker!!!!
Relaxer is best done every 8 weeks,sometimes waiting too long causes breakage,all relaxer isn't sodium hydroxide and it does matter because lithium hydroxide cannot be used on a head that was previously relaxes by calcium hydroxid,please be careful with the info you are spreading,no wonder so many women walk into the salon with damaged hair because they gone crazy with RUclips tutorials and a lot of them send wrong info
Sherry Ann Todd. All you need is a good stay in conditioner like fermadol to keep the new growth for breaking from the perm. It's the ph balance that's in the stay in product
My hair is about her length. I don't get perms any longer but I use to do them 6months at a time and uses the ph stay in conditioner. F.Y.I
EXACTLY!
Sherry Ann Todd you're right that waiting too long between relaxers isn't good for the health of your hair, but there are too many variables to state 8 weeks as a hard and fast rule. How often you relax depends on how quickly your hair grows (some people have more new growth than others at 8 weeks), how thick it is (thicker hair can be more forgiving of longer stretch times, because it tends to be stronger), how well you condition/moisturize (the healthier your hair, the more likely you can stretch it past the 8 weeks), how long you leave relaxer in when you do relax, what #type of hair you have (I have 4c but it's wavy, not super tight-- it doesn't draw up as much as some 4c hair. If my hair were tighter I'd have even more difference between my relaxed and unrelaxed hair making the meeting point even weaker)... I sometimes relax at 8 weeks. I have stretched to 12/13 weeks without noticeable damage. 10 weeks is probably my "sweet spot".
I used Straight Request mild relaxer & found out that I could go til 10 wks between retouch. So I would get retouch every other time. Great results.
I can't stretch, it ruins it...
i like that u move your hands baby,black is beautiful we express ourselves in many different ways good job queen!!!
Thank you!
You are beautiful! Flip your hair, move your hands. Do whatever you want if that makes you comfortable! If they don’t like it, no one is twisting there freaking arm to watch your video! In my words, yes my words, to hell with them with they jealous asses! I really had a few other choice words but decided to save them. Now back to wonderful tips that have helped so many. Oh an thank you for taking time out of your day to share with us.
Hy guys your video rocks people have a problem what's wrong with her using her hands so much there is noting wrong just because you don't have long thick hair to touch stop being jealous
The best informative video on this topic! You broke it down so well, THANK YOU GIRL!! Currently growing out a pixie cut and the struggle is real!
You look like Gabriel Union!
CocoaMoe1 Um, NO.
That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw her lol
sunny moon Um, yeah. I think she does. If you don’t you can comment elsewhere. ☺️
She looks more like the actress Keesha Sharp who played William's girl on "Girlfriends" to me.
I grew my.hair with my.on.braid style for two years now i.got a relaxer and it's long and still grows. I use no heat though!❤
yall be in the comments Wildin. talking bout how she moves her hands a lot. that just means that she a good at speech. In order to be good at speech, you need to be very consistent with your body movement and the way you speak.
The title is “grow relaxed hair” so focus on what’s she’s saying not if her hands are moving.
Exactly
Had to pause the video to comment how cute your hand movements are.. aaaw, so cute.
Awww, lol, thank you!
Girl its so cute to see u touch ur gorgeous hair. I can tell u love it. And its a sign of you finding yourself desirable, pretty and feminine that you do that. And indeed you are those things...
I love it. All women should feel that way about themselves, not just white women. And if you have ever watched the ever sexy, ever beautiful, Ms Diana Ross, she flipped her hair back, and played with it ALOT and she always had men mesmerized by her beauty and feminine charms. Including the one and Only Michael Jackson who was so in love with her he could not see straight. And called her the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen!!!
So all I can say is do your thing girl!!
And PLEASE don't cut it! Its gorgeous!!
Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️😭😘
You are absolutely stunning baby girl.
Thanks for all the hair advice and telling
the *truth about what a relaxer really does to the hair!*
Thank you so much!!
Cute smile!
thank you(:
Thank you so much for your honesty. I totally agree all relaxers are the same some people like to justify the new ones because of the 'brand'.
Thank you for your kindness. Yes, Exactly!
I disagree protective styles do not grow your hair, it helps you retain length. Additionally not everyone can wear protective styles and have success with length retention. After a while some people's hair will start to thin out and break.
Meka SLM It might not work for you but it grows my daughters hair. Her hair is mid back length now. After taking out her crochet it grew 3 inches in a month. Her hair is healthy and thick. If you have Instagram you can check it out. Gor_geous07
Alicia Butler I can never be convinced that protective styles grow hair. It's impossible.
Yes, at the beginning of this video I tried to make it clear that the problem that we're trying to solve isn't that our hair isn't growing, but that our hair isn't retaining length. Protective styles work wonders for me, but I understand that everyone is different(:
Show less
you have a point. your hair grows either way it is morw about retaining length. also folks dont get as much out of a protective style because they dont wash, condition or moisturizing their hair while it is in protective styles.
Lakia Keely that may have been what she meant but that's not what I heard.
You are amazing,inspirational and beautiful,people like you just make me not to quit RUclips nor delete my channel!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!
Seun You are welcome
They jealous you because your video is brilliant and i am a qualified hairdresser and everything youve said is accurate. Well done and very informative.
Thise who put thumb down are rancorous
So
Thank you for mentioning the danger in going to African Braiding salons. They are not your friend and they rip your hair out...leading to more set backs. I wish we had a list of people who do great sew ins and more personal testimonials. Hard to find a hairdresser you can trust.
Love this video Seun. I watched your sew in weave video and was able to put one in my hair afterwards for the first time, so thank you for that. Now that I have a working knowledge of how to do a sew in, I'm going to try to do it regularly and see if my hair retains more length or not. I usually have braids and have had success that route so it'll be interesting to see which is better. I'm thinking the weave (but then i have issues at the gym with the leave out when it gets all sweaty). Thanks again 💜
You are very welcome! Let me know how it goes! Braids and weaves both work really well for me!(:
Also going to try that. Thnak you Seun.
I saw that video too. It was explained very clearly. Very good tutorial
Lovely hair. I’m natural but this is similar to how I grew my hair a little bit longer than where I had previously plateaued. As little manipulation as possible! And I quit hair dressers entirely, not just the African braiders. I realized they were all ripping out my hair. I remember cringing as one braider combed my dry hair with a small fine tooth comb. I remember thinking, “this can’t be the right way to handle my hair” but at the same time I trusted the women doing my hair as trained and knowledgeable professionals. Took my while to learn they really don’t care about your hair at all. Especially if you’re natural with 4C. It takes a lot of work and patience to handle natural hair delicately. I learned how to do my own protective styling (mostly braids and wigs) But honestly my hair is sooo much work JUST to wear protective styles 95% of the time. Too much work for me. I totally understand you thinking about shaving your head. Im really considering ending all this insanity and freeing up my life by getting Sisterlocks. My consultation is early next year. Good luck with your hair goals!
Honestly weaves grow my hair!!!!
Omg omg thank you soooo much like I honestly struggle and often get sad about my hair length and how I’m so different from some others hair and I rly get stressed about how short my hair is because my hair length is the only thing I wish I could change faster but ik it takes time and this video rly gave me inspiration and changed my mood from a sad to humble mood.☺️
So happy to help!❤️
Crazy how I'm watching this exactly 3 years later
Me too😂😂
Great Tips , New Subbiee 💕 and lord knows that it's hard to find good advice and tips for us " relaxed hair " girls I really hope you stay relaxed and have a successful hair journey
+Jahlauryn Nicole Thank you!(: I really do appreciate your support
The first year of my hair journey I was over manipulating my hair so when I did my length check it barely even grew I was so my annoyed I hid my hair in braids for a year and treated my hair when removing the style I'm still on my second year of my hair journey and my hair grew sooo much best decision ever stop touching my hair often
It's not easy talking into a camera ... Funny gestures are bound to happen.. which is a cool way to calm nervousness...
Nice talk you gave. I hope I can achieve more length past my scapula through this enlightenment..
Thank you!!!
OMG you are extremely extra extra beautiful and your smile is priceless 😌
awwwww, thank you so much!
This is the best video I've watched and I have been looking at a lot of videos lol Thanks!
Thank you!
such a nice person girl u cant plz all these people i think you are amazing an i realy like your video and your hair 👍👍👍
Thank you!❤️
Yes our hair is like a flower garden. Patience is key. Great Video.
I wanted you to stop manipulating your hair in this video. It is so gorgeous!
I felt that same way! It is so beautiful!!!
Super helpful video!!!!
Went straight to the comment section for this comment lol
Annette Flowers I wish she manipulated her hair more.. lol
You're hair looks very nice! Congratulations on your length.
thank you!
isn't wigs more better as you can wash and moisturiser the hair under
+lovejesus12012 Yes, that is true. Wigs are also good protective styles
lovejesus12012 I'm so glad that you mentioned this, because I forgot all about wigs. Thanks!
Your hair is flawless. Plus you look very natural and very pretty at the same time. I have long black hair too but not as good and healthy looking as yours!
Aw, thank you❤️ you're too kind. I'm sure your hair is nicer than you think
so how many years did it take you to grow your hair?
The picture I showed was from. 2013, but it stayed that length for a while. I would say that the majority of my growth occurred over the course of three years
i know the struggle girl my hair was shoulder lenght two years ago and now it s just 5 or 6 inches longer
Girl love your video and you moving your hands doesn't bother me! I do it too, lol! Keep doing you girl! Your hair is gorgeous and your beautiful! Anyone who gets distracted by her hands, move too the next video and don't comment! It's that simple! 🙄
thank you(:
I relaxed my hair every 3 months
Also something I realized a lot of people forget is you have to moisturize your scalp when you have those protective styles in . Still go in and put grease or whatever you use
Seun you are so beautiful! Beautiful personality and smile!
Aw, thank you!(:
I think that your video is great! I really appreciate your honesty and the details! Your video is the reason that I love RUclips! Tysm!
Girllll it's also genes, I did everything but nadas mine will get to my shoulders and just stop. It will grow but break once it gets to shoulder length every time. My stylist of many years got very confused. So am natural now.
ITS YOUR GENES!!!!!!
Interesting point. Are you able to grow long hair now that you're natural?
Seun am 6 months in, I'll let you know if it stops growing at my shoulders again.
My point is you also have to include that genetics matter when it comes to hair growth, doesn't mean what has worked for you will work for someone else
your hair might be breaking off because when hair gets to shoulder length it usually stunts bc of the friction that can be caused by your clothes and stuff. so maybe your hair might grow if you minimize the contact it has with your shoulders? it depends though
Lirrulewon I use to struggling at shoulder length. Here is my tip to get longer hair. I was SL at the beginning of 2016 and I wore a lot of wigs, crochet (no too tigh) and twists without extensions it help me a lot to retain length and now i'm BSL. You have to use your comb as less as possible, so I didn't wear cornrows under my wigs but medium box braids in a low ponytail. I took me a while but it worked! :)
You are beautiful Seun!!! I love you so much! :) You have the right to be proud of your hair
Aww, thank you so much❤️❤️ Much much love
