Is My Hair Still GROWING? My Natural HAIR GROWTH Update (Length Check) (3 Yrs 6 mths) (Oct 2020)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 ноя 2020
- It’s my 3 1/2 Year Natural Hair Growth / Length Check Update Video. I did the big chop back in April 2017, having transitioned to natural hair for 18 months and so I’ve been documenting my natural hair journey over the years, through pictures and hair journey updates.
Looking through my comparison pics, there was more noticeable progress made within the year (Oct 19-Oct 20), but not so much in the last 6 months (Apr-Oct 20), which is ok. Obviously we all want to keep making progress, but sometimes we don’t get that due to the different reasons mentioned in my video, but also it can happen if you’re experiencing ongoing breakage or damage which sets us back.
But as I always say, I’m still happy that my hair is healthy and thriving, which is what this hair journey is all about!
Make sure you check out my previous updates below!
Hope you enjoy the video 🤗

I agree with everyone: your hair is definitely thicker.
🤗🤗
Don't listen to the people telling you to straighten you're hair. Do what you want to do!
Personally I enjoy seeing the natural length comparisons.
No, I wouldn’t let anyone pressure me. But thanks for your concern and I’m glad you enjoy my comparisons ☺️
Congratulations, you can see the thickness and length. Great progress. When you have finished breast feeding, take MSM with Vitamin C and collagen.
Ahh...thank you! ☺️ Yes, I have some MSM at home, so will do! Thanks again.
So this is actually 5 years of growth, it’s incredible.
Yep, that’s right! Thanks
Definitely fuller
🤗👍🏾
Hey guys, I’m back with my LENGTH CHECK UPDATE video! So I’ll be sharing with you how things have been going since my last update back in April, so make sure you check it out! Also, remember to let me know what you think of this update and also how things have been going with your hair journey. Hope you enjoy the video 💕
Still figuring out what products work for my hair😞😞
Yes, am also still on the product discovery journey for my hair. Especially with wash day products and oils. I only have my leave-in zerod down😅
Yes hun I can see a difference, I've been following you since you were relaxed, I'm 6 months into my loc journey (small youtuber) your hair has always looked good!!
Ahh...thanks girl! I appreciate the support over the years too ❤️ Hope your loc journey is going well!
Very comprehensive vid Sis. Love the health, thickness and growth you achieved. Looks like you have more stretch in the left pic than the right pic so.. Can definitely see the difference in growth.
Thank you! Ahh...ok, thanks for the feedback 💕
Well done for staying away from heat straightening, your hair looks fuller and healthier for it, such lush strands👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 🤗🤗
I could listen to you all day🤗
Awww! 🥰
Your hair looks amazing and healthy. My hair was never relaxed but was heat damaged from going to a Dominican hair salon and they used way too much heat in my hair. So I big chopped in 2015 and after 5yrs of no heat in my hair, my hair is close to your height in this video in April.
Thank you! Yeah unfortunately these things happen but it sounds like your making great progress! 🙌🏾
It appears you are retaining length and it appears thicker. Also it looks very healthy and that is what counts.
Thank you and yes, healthy hair is definitely key 🙌🏾👌🏾
Ngl I was selfishly hoping you would straighten your hair for this 😅 Only because I really want to straighten mine for the first time but I'm terrified of heat damage & you're one of the few people I trust for technique advice 😞
I’m not quite ready for that one yet 😅 I still get nervous when blow drying my hair 😩 But whenever you decide to, just make sure you use a heat protectant, don’t set the setting to high and avoid going over the same sections too many times!
Luv ur accent and the gorgeousness 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰 yasss QUEEN 👑👸🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much ☺️🤗❤️
Girl i was just thinking of that last night. I said i dont see much growth anymore on my 4/1|2 yrs natural hair journey. I felt like is stuck on d same length for a while now. I think we should research it 🤔 😅😏 maybe my genetics is BSL 😆 but with ur hair u could see some growth even though not much as u said. Hey is healthy and full of life even with you breastfeeding so ur hair is doing great.
Hey girl, thank you! Yes, I used to struggle a little around this stage when my hair was relaxed, but managed to reach MBL. So it feels like déjà vu 😩 But don’t worry, we’re gonna make it 😂🙌🏾
I agree your hair gained significant thickness.
🤗👌🏾👍🏾
Your hair is much thicker. You can definitely tell in the 1st photo. The 2nd/3rd pics to me you have less hair in your hands in comparing current to past. Looking at the last pic the hair around your your ear is much thicker. You have beautiful healthy hair.🙋🏾♀️
Aww...thank you! I appreciate the feedback 🤗
how great ! am struggling with my hair, still the same length ..;(
I think Sis at that lenght you should do more protective styles and very less manipulation 💖
overall - you've made stunning progress and have a wonderful haircare routione. QQ - do you incorporate ayurvedic herbs into your routine? This is one new thing I would like to try for my year 2 growth goals.
Thank you 😊 Oh...yes, I started using Ayurvedic herbs a few months back and it seems to be working well. I’ll probably do a video on how I make it soon and will give more feedback in my next update next year.
The longer my hair grows ,the lazier I get 🥴🥴
I’m even procrastinating when it comes to wash days
I hear you! It’s the thought of the detangling process for me 😩
Me too🤣🤣🤣 I throw it into mini twists and deep condition every three to four weeks. I just don't have energy for it anymore
Hello. I am new to your channel. I am afraid of doing protective hairstyles, am afraid of the pain. I just want to ask , do you do protective hairstyles like braids or you just stretch your hair and keep it moisturized??
Love from South Africa ❤️
Hey! I don’t really wear protective styles that often, but when I do, it’s usually box braids. But most of the time I keep my natural hair stretched overnight in twists and keep it moisturised. I was actually concerned about my braids being tight the last time I got them done, but just tell your stylist not to do them tight and if it is, just let them know straightaway. ❤️
Your hair is a lot fuller
😊👌🏾👍🏾
You're hair looks really healthy to me. I have very fine, kinky- coily hair that typically grows about 4 inches a year. With growth aides, I can get just over 5 inches a year. Do you know your average growth rate?
Thank you ☺️ From the growth I’ve achieved over the years, it fluctuates between 1/2 inch to an inch.
@@HealthyAfroHair 😳 do you mean a 1/2 inch each month?
can you explain when you say you moisturize your hair twice a day, so say if your hair was in protective twist would you do your lco on it? lovely hair btw.
Thank you! So I moisturise morning & night. But if your wearing a PS, so you can just use a moisturiser in a spray bottle and apply it all over and add oil to it every so often, to avoid too much build up.
Hi I am have relaxed hair and I’m 13 years old I just wanna know do you have any tips on growing relaxed hair my hair has been at shoulder length for years I wanted to get a cut for ages and she finally said yes but she said a small bit do you have a products in mind I should use
Hi ! What is your opinion on scalp oiling ? Is it beneficial ? If yes how many times per week should one do it ?
Hey! Yes it’s beneficial for scalp massages which can help to stimulate and encourage hair growth and if you suffer with a dry, itchy scalp as well. But you can apply it 2-3 times per week, but just wash your hair regularly to remove any build up.
Healthy Afro Hair thank you so much for responding 😊.
You’re welcome! 🤗
Hi, is there a reason you don’t wear protective styles? Or do you consider the styles you wear as protective styles? 😀
Hey, I love the look of protective styles and all that, but have always preferred to rock my own hair most of the time. But I wear low maintenance styles, so yeah you can kinda call it a protective style too 😄
@@HealthyAfroHair Thanks for letting me know. One last thing😊So you avoid tangles by stretching hair at night and that helps with tangles in the day.
I've been stuck at APL since 2009 🥴🥴
Cool..it's Fuller but vitamin c 1000mg..doo growth shampoo and conditioner and B12 will grow it fast if that what your looking for..oh also try Infusium 23 .
Ok! Thanks for the feedback 👌🏾
Does hair supplements speed up hair growth?
Do they have any side effects?
I took biotin for hair & nail once, & when I stopped I experienced severe hair loss for months. But this maybe different fo everyone.
I’m not sure about speeding it up, but they do help the hair to grow at the correct rate, because it’s giving our bodies what it’s needs for healthy hair to grow and thrive. But of course, our diet has to be good too. As for side effects, there’s none stated on the packaging for the ones I’m taking, but you’d have to check other ones.
@@HealthyAfroHair which hair supplements are you using?
@@HealthyAfroHair or the ones you would recommend?
@@lyaadonara1386 thank you for sharing
💜💜💜😘💯✔👍🏾
☺️🤗💖💖
How do you wear up often and still retain a full and healthy hairline?
I try not to make the styles too tight and keep my edges moisturised. But I also give my hair a break from the same styles as well.
@@HealthyAfroHair my hairline is in rehab 🤣 after 5 postpartum shedding events🙄 but I can see a little progress.
Yep, I’ve been there 3 TIMES 😩 But hang in there, it’ll be back! 💪🏾
we're in a pandemic, its okay
Why not just straighten your hair? Your length check won’t be accurate with all that shrinkage......
Yeah true, it’s never 💯 that way! I might have to start doing length checks when my hair is blown out or something!
@@HealthyAfroHair i think the length check is accurate considering that is how you have been doing your length checks since you became natural. You are comparing the same shrunken hair in all the pictures
