I keep my hair twisted all week and wear a twistout during the weekend 😊. I’ve been doing it for about 10 months , and I’ve retained about 5 inches! ❤️
My lazy natural tip is to keep a shoe-box sized container with: spray bottle of filtered water, oil (whatever works best--in my case it's olive, almond and peppermint essential), wide tooth comb, Denman brush, hair clips, ouch less hair ties, and Bobby pins. This eliminates the need to constantly "scramble" for commonly used objects. If you are short on time or shortage space, you only need to grab one container and quickly style your hair. It also works well if you have children's hair to do. You can carry the container from one room to another and do their hair in whatever room if the house you choose.
Cece B yeeesss, 1,000,000X...Now it'lol take me another 5no to actually put it into action...lol...but no I rebuke my own self...lol...turning a new leaf...😊😜
I'm the laziest. I live in 2 strand twists. I only take them out when I need to look a little more polished. I do them smaller, though. I've learned that my hair likes to be left alone and I happily oblige. #aintnobodygottimeforthat
we have more time to do other things. I just transitioned, my last chop was 7/21. I have to remember to not touch my hair bc I was doing that a lot. but with my natural hair I don't have to bc it's growing out, and I will use protective styles+wigs.
Me too! 😀 I just use my spray bottle with water, leave in conditioner, olive oil and coconut oil and I don't use Combs just finger detangling and afro pick here and there..
i wash my hair every week and a half to two weeks. for 4-7 days a week my hair is in twists or braids then i take it out for a braid & twist out . very simple , i don’t have time to do intricate styles.
i agree with you on the low manipulation. I had damaged my hair when i dyed it. had to cut it to ear length. talking about depressed. so I did the cornrow thing. covered it up for 4 weeks. took it down. washed condition you name it. cornrowed it again. i did this for the pass 6 months and my hair has grown back down passed my shoulders to the middle of my back. i happy again. yaayyyy
Lazy Girl + Low Manipulation: I wear a head wrap all week while my hair is stretched. I usually wear my satin bonnet under it so the wrap isn't rubbing against my hair (and my hand in hair syndrome). I usually Moisturize 3-4 a week and deep condition 1x a week 😁
When u deep condition one times a week do you wash your hair first ... I ask this because I deep condition when I was my hair every 2 weeks but I hear ppl saying to deep condition weekly so I’m confused to if they are doing that alone by itself or what🥺
@@kerianal9456 I deep condition once a week, usually a monday because I have high porosity, and I shampoo every 2 weeks on a Saturday. Hope that answers your question 😅
I love it. Leaving my hair alone is the only thing I've known to give me length and retention, that's why I love protective styles. But my problem is I can't keep my hands out of my hair when it's down, I just love it so much
@Khai The Conqueror oh ok. Often do you grease or mostuire your scalp?? I noticed my scalp be so damn try but when I do a see in my scalp doesn't get that dry.
I keep my hair braided and tucked away. It helps my hair stay detangled and moisturized (which in the past was a struggle and a time-spender for me) and it keeps me out of my hair ( washing , styling, etc.). When I want to change the style, I just take out the braids!
I have super thick 4c hair that's bra strap length but likes to shrink into a TWA. I keep it in 8 flat twists that I gather into a bun during the day. I even wash and condition it with diluted products while it's in the flat twists, that way I almost never have to worry about re-parting it.
Maneisha Culmer that is how I do mine and mine is growing out so much better it's less time consuming than wearing all of those crazy little twist and having a pick them out and deal with all of those ridiculous and knots. I just flat iron mine and put it in for braids and tuck it under the wig
I can relate! I'm 54.. with hot flashes etc... Definitely can't wear wigs.. Wish I could! I mostly just do twists. It has worked for me my hair has grown about 5 in. In 2017.
I wash and condition my hair in cornrows. It keeps my hair from tangling during wash day. Also, after I've rinsed my conditioner out then I take the cornrows out, put my hair into four plaits (moisturize it) and let it air dry. Once dry its dry I put it right back into cornrows. If I want different styles during the week-scarves, clip ins, wigs, or a clip in on ponytails let me change it up. FYI-I wear a wig cap and clip my clip ins onto it, not my hair. I also used Bobby pins to secure my ponytail-prevents breakage.
Wore protective style in twists for four months, and the growth and thickening process has been amazing! All I did was moisturize with little to no manipulation. Nutrition is also very important...iron, zinc & protein will do wonders; in addition to being a committed water drinker.
Keep your hair stretched use deep treatments that can be done in under 5 min (Aussie 3 min miracle or aphogee 2 min treatment) use shampoos that can help detangle, use silicone conditioners for added slip and easier detangling (just clarify at least once a month) use a wide tooth comb its faster than your fingers and if used properly won’t do any damage take care of your body lol
My tip is the protective style of keeping my hair constantly in twists. I wash my hair with the twists still installed and when they need re-doing I just finger detangle each one individually and then twist it back up again. I commenced this in May 2019, and myself and others have noticed that the health and length of my hair has improved.
I'm very team simple/lazy natural my hair is either in twist or braided down after shampoo day until next shampoo day I sometime wear low two buns I may wear my hair out 3 times a month and my hair is growing just fine after my 2nd BC in March of this year
a fan of tip #1 (i think that was #1 lol) ive been twisting my hair a poppin a wig on my whole 3 years of being natural and my hair is almost to the middle of my back. and i let the stream get into these kinks and curls lol. oh and i also take multivitamins or hair vitamins and try to drink smoothies and also try to take in some nutritious foods but girl this video was so helpful cause im a lazy girl lol
Sincerely Timia this is what I plan on doing but the lady that does my braids said that it stifles growth because your scalp can't breathe...What do u think about that?
scarcity21 well idk what to say about that because my hair grew perfectly fine. And I’ve seen RUclips’s who have achieved growth that way. But make sure you take it off at night
Wigs have come a long way after all these years, you can put your fingers through them now, all they are are wefts sewn together! I have scalp psoriasis so I had to stop wearing weaves because my scalp could not breathe. Everywhere there was a cornrow the psoriasis thrived underneath the braid! Wigs allow me to take them off and care for my hair & scalp daily! I've bought very expensive to very cheap ones & believe it or not, the cheap ones are the ones that allow the most air flow! Some of them look more like your natural hair than the real ones. Sure they don't last very long, but for what you pay for the others you can be in them for years, LOL! The secret is to treat them like real hair as well (SKIP the oils tho!) I let mine soak in a conditioner bathe, detangle while it's in there, then blot dry (no rinsing!) & hang to dry - lasts so much longer that it would otherwise, & of course, don't sleep in them.
I usually put my hair in a high puff(since it is shorter and can't do much with it) making sure my edges are 'puffy" to prevent breakage from the giant hair ties. I sprits my hair every morning with water to refresh my puff and stretch it out. I, of course, do not sleep with the hair tie in. I let it breath. and I only wash my hair if my scalp starts to itch or my hair feels dryer.
And I thought I was lazy. 😁😁😁😁😀😀😀 I wash my hair every week or every 2 weeks and my go to styles are twists, or cornrows. Let my hair out before wash day. To be honest, I'm not good at styling so those styles work great for me. High or low buns as well
I keep braids in for 2 weeks. I do the GHE every day or every other day. Sometimes I just throw My conditioning cap on without oiling my hair. I just wanna make sure my hair is moisturized. #SaveOurStrands 😘
Thank you Zara for this video, I recently BC'd from a bad loc journey. I'm patiently waiting for when my hair is back to where I can do my favorite protective styles again. Twist and halo twist were always my go to styles I knew I could keep them moisturized and protect my ends.
Ive recently decided to start trying to get my long hair back. Its past shoulder length curly, but I lost about 6 inches over two years just by dyeing and generally ignoring its health. What Ive been doing:1) No more sulfates, alcohol, harsh chemicals (hair sprays, dyes, gels NOTHING. Cutting myself off). Natural products. If i need to hold my hair down i use water/light conditioner with a boar bristle brush and it works fine for my 3a hair.2) Rice water treatment weekly. Idk if its really all that, but my hair does feel very different everytime i do it. Less breakage and my strands feel smoother and stronger. 3) Vitagoods scalp vibrating massager. Helps migraines too, turns out. Very relaxing. 4) Only using Mercier brush and wide tooth combs to lessen damage.5) Homemade leave in conditioner with oils for root stimulation. (JBCO, coconut, Rosemary, Cedarwood, peppermint etc etc)6) Trim every 6 months. Gotta be done, always feels better after.7) I leave my hair alone alot. I only wash it once a week to avoid buildup and every day i simply wet it and the oils hang onto the moisture from the shower all day, feels very soft and healthy and bouncy.8) Hair skin and nails vitamins.9) Satin pillow! Hate the hair wraps they just come off. 10) Patience. If i dont get results from a year of this, I guess Ill just be bald.
Im currently washing and installing small/medium finger coils every week. I like them cause they're lookalike dreads and can be styled so many different ways. Also I've been using the wild growth oil on my scalp and hair based off of your recommendation every time I wash and my hair is growing like a weed 🙂
I love throwing my hair in some straight back twists, moisturized, and topping it off with a scarf. Sometimes I’ll deep condition with a plastic bag and put the scarf on top. Nice video! Thanks for the tips (:
Great tips for a lazy natural girl like myself. Love protective styling, love buns even more. Wear one everyday. Old habit from my days in the military. Almost shed a tear when you mentioned Wild Growth oil. My local Sallys discontinued it.
oh I love this video, I'm a lazy natural, but that doesn't mean I neglect the health of my hair. it just means I don't do the most to maintain the integrity of my fro. I just do seven big twist & Bantu knot the end to keep my hair from matting and getting tangled, that way it always stay ready for me to style into my fro or it helps my hair stay detaingled until wash day, and I keep my hair moisturized with grease and water, and my hair is very healthy. I'm fifty years old and things with petroleum, or using hair grease is what we used to keep ethnic hair healthy, if you were relaxed or natural. in third world countries Vaseline or petroleum is the most wanted healing aid for skin and scalp with some type of esentric erb to help fight bacterial infections. please correct me if I'm wrong but is not the scalp skin on the head, so I don't understand why an emoluments are so bad for the hair and scalp to this new geration. I love your videos and a subscriber. please let me know what your option is about my comment.💙💙💙
To be honest when I went natural six years ago I can honestly say my hair was long like yours (stretched) my hair grew so fast. What helped me were mini twist!!! I would leave mini twist in for two weeks (I was in college) .. and the third week I would wear my hair out then the week after I would have mini twist or another protective style with my own hair for another two then repeat . I also finger detangled
I just started doing in-between mini twist and medium sized twist and I leave them up for 2 weeks. Then I deep condition my hair, leave in condition, and oil my hair and scalp. Then retwist, recycling the same parts (I don't take my twist down in the process). I cleanse my hair once a month.
This is a little off topic. I have 4c hair and its growing fine...but am I the only one who gets envious of other women's long flowy hair. I love my texture but dang, I just wish my length would show.
Maybe you should try doing a braidout. And there's one awesome thing that you can do with your hair that they can't because it hangs too much: get a round, voluminous afro. 😋 And the longer your hair gets, the bigger your fro gets. 😊
You can try pinning your twist around your head for more stretch, you can do a tension blowout, you can let your hair get really long in a natural state so that it will show its own length naturally. Their hair didn't grow overnight that took them at least 6 years minimum
I'm so lazy i wear the same loose bun for days if it looks the same when i wake up. I havent properly combed it out in years. and i go more than a month without remembering to wash. But my fro is thriving.
I used to do the twist thank God I no longer do them it takes too long to put them in and then when you take them out it's a battle now I just keep my hair straight and put it in four braids under my wig with the ends tucked away. my hair is doing way better now because I'm able to comb it out once a week which helps it to avoid all of those knots and stuff. I will never go back to twist again in my life.
Miss WOG Daily yeah I usually end up getting my natural hair blown out every 6-8 weeks (with a trim every 12 weeks) and just keep it up off my back and shoulders to prevent ends from splitting cause yeah I've dabbled in styling my hair in its natural state and it is *time consuming*. Lol I know they make massage brushes and whatnot but I just love the feel of a nylon/boar bristle paddle brush. It makes my hair shinier I feel whenever it's stretched so I feel ya. I end up keeping length because I don't get tangles! So I hear ya! 😊
I am a BIG lazy natural but I’ve been struggling with how to get my hair the length I want it to be. But my regimen is just wash it every two weeks with a Maui shampoo, put in a deep conditioner, then spray it with a leave in, and twist it with a gel or curling cream. One the days when it’s dry I’ll untwist my hair and put a little oil on it because my hair doesn’t take oil two well but that’s my routine. I usually keep it twisted all week and only rock a twist out on special occasions or on the weekends
this video is so me. I literally just tweeted about how my hair could be so much longer if I liked taking care of it. My hair is very thick and literally it just aggravates me. I'm all set. thanks for the tips
My go to protective style is two feedin cornrows. With Marley hair. Cute hair style and protective especially with gold cuffs or edges. I leave it in for about 2 - 3 weeks depending on how well I do them. Before I sleep I spray (Rosewater, glycerin and JBCO) wrap and sleep. In the morning I put on blue magic castor oil contioner and go about the day. When I take them out do a bun or puff or whatever for a week so I can do the inversion method and massage my scalp in general then rebraid.
I love your channel u are very pretty and smart I see think u are a roll model to any women who has confidence in themselves with all the self hatred that is running rapid in our community aswell of other cultures its refreshing to see representation like u god bless u.
Girl twists are my business cause it's kinda short I wear mini twists and the growth is evident. I went from shoulder length and I'm almost at armpit length now
I put in faux locs to give myself a break while I get used to a new job/working two jobs. I think I'm gonna stick to faux locks, crochet braids, and havana twists until I get a flight attendant interview. I hope this will get me close to my length goals.
I am not sure if this is lazy or not, but I guess it is. I will twist my whole head and then every week for a month I might retwist only around the edges and remoisturize. Same hairstyle for a month. At the end of the month a girl can still be getting compliments. Keeping hair moisturized makes the style look new even if it is not.
hello I do a lot of two strand twist on my natural hair very easy and mostly fast I would like to know how to grow my hair out, to get it long and healthy. so far i use the LOC Method and As I Am products and the wild growth oils its been working fine but i don't see a change in my hair. I love your videos you give great advice.
The problem I have with twist is they aren’t cute in my opinion I don’t see a point in having beautiful curls is imma walk around looking ugly. I’ve been wearing wigs lately or I try to prolong my braids out for at max 5-7 days
nia scaife please tell me how you survive from wig eating up your edges. I'm new to wigs before wigs o used to have a healthy hairline. Now the hair is gone. Please help.
Miss Elle it helps to lay the wig in place so it isn't moving when you wear it. also applying essential oils to your hairline before and after wears helps alot especially if you use a glue like gorilla snot or got2b glue around your forehead/hairline area
Miss Elle I don’t lay my wigs down with any glues or adhesives. Personally I don’t find it necessary unless you have a wig that the laces rolls or noticeable lifts. If I were to glue my wig down I have the got 2 b glued gel in black and I put it in the tiny space where the parting is and no where near my baby hairs bc despite what these RUclipsrs say it will rip your edges out of you don’t use it properly. I have a Wowafrican wig that is great is sheds a bit but the lace is lays flat on my head. Also if you have your hair in small cornrows underneath your wig it should lay flat with a wig that has good quality cap construction.
DRINK WATER DRINK WATER DRINK WATER! Shampoo your hair in twists to prevent tangles and dryness. I like to keep my hair stretched with satin ribbons while in twists by wrapping my hair with the ribbons. This keeps my hair elongated while also retaining length.
🌷I just found you a few weeks ago...I’ve been watching all of your videos! I can’t get enough. 🥰 You are super informative and entertaining! Thank you! This super dry/super tangled... 4a/4b/4c hair sista appreciates your context immensely!! Can you possibly do a video on your thoughts on Crochet Braids? I’ve only been about the CB life since last September. I did my own install last month. As I was crocheting my hair it occurred to me that the actual process might be damaging to the hair. First the metal hook being passed through braids and then the actual cb hair hanging from the braids. Am I wrong to think that this process might be detrimental? Any thoughts you have would be awesome sauce. 🌸
I found that I was doing so much with my hair that it wouldn't grow. I do my sons' hair with minimal products and their hair grows like weeds. So, "Less is more" is working right now. Thanks for the advice!
My lazy natural regimen: I let my hair get dirty, hair lotion after showers (i don't wear shower caps unless I have a protective style in), afros daily, scalp massages daily, water (i only really drink this), on wash day: prepoo, wash, condition, deep condition, then hot oil treatment (because i go so long without washing), most importantly TLC
I am super busy and terrible at styling so I twist my hair once a month in small twists or cornrows and about week 3 I just do twist outs until I go to the salon. I'm on the go from 6-8 weekly and my hair is thick and a good 12inches at least. I wash every weekend and moisturize daily. I find since I have become more dedicated to moisturising my hair has grown faster especially since heat damaged it and I had to cut it bit my bit for about 2 years to get rid of the damage
Great video. I’m a fan of letting my hair get steam in the shower then applying a small amount of regular conditioner before I Style. Helps keep me moisturized .. also, cool points for “SSK”. We needed a name for those things lol
whenever I don't feel like dealing with my hair after moisturizing I just do cornrows till the next wash day two weeks later. and sometimes I don't even wear a wig when going out, i just throw on a face cap 😂. my hair does stay moisturized tho cause i spray my leave in and use an oil in the morning
You should be a face of products and we need to see me re natural women like u I'm in my 40s I sometimes think of going natural but I'm not ready yet I do hair weaves rite now my hair is very think n wavy in want more length I have thin edges and the nape of my hairs needs to grow out more before I can rock my real hair like u,I'll keep tuning in gob bless n stay well.
She is not replying to eyeglass frames y'all so I suggest snapshotting a picture of her in them and taking picture to your optical store and see if they can find them for you or something close to them, good luck ladies, these are gorgeous frames
I love twists and they work well with my wigs and provide growth and healthy hair along with eating right, exercising and drinking alot of water and using the hair products that work for your hair.

They have them but they are usually sold by the men's du-rags in the beauty supply store.

@@vastya.3255 thanks will try that

Moisture and DO NOTHING (month long protective styles)
How often should one wash it? I was thinking once every two weeks and keep it braided underneath my wigs.
@Khai The Conqueror oh ok. Often do you grease or mostuire your scalp?? I noticed my scalp be so damn try but when I do a see in my scalp doesn't get that dry.

I keep my hair braided and tucked away. It helps my hair stay detangled and moisturized (which in the past was a struggle and a time-spender for me) and it keeps me out of my hair ( washing , styling, etc.). When I want to change the style, I just take out the braids!
It's so hard for me to leave my hair alone but this video was really helpful.
tania star same
Catania Universe I'm the same way that's why I always try to opt for braids that way I won't touch them so must

Sincerely Timia this is what I plan on doing but the lady that does my braids said that it stifles growth because your scalp can't breathe...What do u think about that?
scarcity21 well idk what to say about that because my hair grew perfectly fine. And I’ve seen RUclips’s who have achieved growth that way. But make sure you take it off at night
Wigs have come a long way after all these years, you can put your fingers through them now, all they are are wefts sewn together! I have scalp psoriasis so I had to stop wearing weaves because my scalp could not breathe. Everywhere there was a cornrow the psoriasis thrived underneath the braid! Wigs allow me to take them off and care for my hair & scalp daily! I've bought very expensive to very cheap ones & believe it or not, the cheap ones are the ones that allow the most air flow! Some of them look more like your natural hair than the real ones. Sure they don't last very long, but for what you pay for the others you can be in them for years, LOL! The secret is to treat them like real hair as well (SKIP the oils tho!) I let mine soak in a conditioner bathe, detangle while it's in there, then blot dry (no rinsing!) & hang to dry - lasts so much longer that it would otherwise, & of course, don't sleep in them.
I usually put my hair in a high puff(since it is shorter and can't do much with it) making sure my edges are
'puffy" to prevent breakage from the giant hair ties. I sprits my hair every morning with water to refresh my puff and stretch it out. I, of course, do not sleep with the hair tie in. I let it breath. and I only wash my hair if my scalp starts to itch or my hair feels dryer.
And I thought I was lazy. 😁😁😁😁😀😀😀 I wash my hair every week or every 2 weeks and my go to styles are twists, or cornrows. Let my hair out before wash day. To be honest, I'm not good at styling so those styles work great for me. High or low buns as well
Yessss I’ve been so lazy with my natural hair 😭 but wearing twits under my wigs or scarf have been such a help. I moisturize it everyday 3 days 😍
Yaaaassss to low manipulation!
You look so cute! Awesome hair, glasses and shirt😍 thank you for sharing your helpful tips!
Awwwww, thank you so much! 😘
I keep braids in for 2 weeks. I do the GHE every day or every other day. Sometimes I just throw My conditioning cap on without oiling my hair. I just wanna make sure my hair is moisturized.
#SaveOurStrands 😘
Thank you Zara for this video, I recently BC'd from a bad loc journey. I'm patiently waiting for when my hair is back to where I can do my favorite protective styles again. Twist and halo twist were always my go to styles I knew I could keep them moisturized and protect my ends.
You are super adorable and I absolutely love your glasses! Great tips!
I FEEL YOU!!! Natural hair journey can be so stressful. I was very happy to watch your video this morning
Evelyn McAllister Awwww thanks so much!! I’m glad I could contribute to your joy 🤓❤️
I love this! I'm more of a busy natural than a lazy natural :'( but this has been so informative!
Ive recently decided to start trying to get my long hair back. Its past shoulder length curly, but I lost about 6 inches over two years just by dyeing and generally ignoring its health. What Ive been doing:1) No more sulfates, alcohol, harsh chemicals (hair sprays, dyes, gels NOTHING. Cutting myself off). Natural products. If i need to hold my hair down i use water/light conditioner with a boar bristle brush and it works fine for my 3a hair.2) Rice water treatment weekly. Idk if its really all that, but my hair does feel very different everytime i do it. Less breakage and my strands feel smoother and stronger. 3) Vitagoods scalp vibrating massager. Helps migraines too, turns out. Very relaxing. 4) Only using Mercier brush and wide tooth combs to lessen damage.5) Homemade leave in conditioner with oils for root stimulation. (JBCO, coconut, Rosemary, Cedarwood, peppermint etc etc)6) Trim every 6 months. Gotta be done, always feels better after.7) I leave my hair alone alot. I only wash it once a week to avoid buildup and every day i simply wet it and the oils hang onto the moisture from the shower all day, feels very soft and healthy and bouncy.8) Hair skin and nails vitamins.9) Satin pillow! Hate the hair wraps they just come off. 10) Patience. If i dont get results from a year of this, I guess Ill just be bald.
I loveeee how you wear your hair completely natural no press or anything allll natural and you're pretty
Im currently washing and installing small/medium finger coils every week. I like them cause they're lookalike dreads and can be styled so many different ways. Also I've been using the wild growth oil on my scalp and hair based off of your recommendation every time I wash and my hair is growing like a weed 🙂
I love throwing my hair in some straight back twists, moisturized, and topping it off with a scarf. Sometimes I’ll deep condition with a plastic bag and put the scarf on top. Nice video! Thanks for the tips (:
Your editing is on point! I can't wait until my hair gets as big as yours, I'm like half way there and I feel stuck! Anywho, great video!
beYOUtiful ! Thanks so much! I love editing and don’t worry, you’ll get there ❤️❤️❤️
Tip: use rice water it will really help with growing your strands, good luck
@@saturenagail6605 hey any other tips ?
Great tips for a lazy natural girl like myself. Love protective styling, love buns even more. Wear one everyday. Old habit from my days in the military. Almost shed a tear when you mentioned Wild Growth oil. My local Sallys discontinued it.
kens mb Wowowowwww I’m so sorry that happened. Definitely try amazon! I should have a link in my description box.
oh I love this video, I'm a lazy natural, but that doesn't mean I neglect the health of my hair. it just means I don't do the most to maintain the integrity of my fro. I just do seven big twist & Bantu knot the end to keep my hair from matting and getting tangled, that way it always stay ready for me to style into my fro or it helps my hair stay detaingled until wash day, and I keep my hair moisturized with grease and water, and my hair is very healthy. I'm fifty years old and things with petroleum, or using hair grease is what we used to keep ethnic hair healthy, if you were relaxed or natural. in third world countries Vaseline or petroleum is the most wanted healing aid for skin and scalp with some type of esentric erb to help fight bacterial infections. please correct me if I'm wrong but is not the scalp skin on the head, so I don't understand why an emoluments are so bad for the hair and scalp to this new geration. I love your videos and a subscriber. please let me know what your option is about my comment.💙💙💙
So glad I found your video! I wouldn’t consider myself a lazy natural, but a “I don’t have a lot of time” natural 😊.
To be honest when I went natural six years ago I can honestly say my hair was long like yours (stretched) my hair grew so fast. What helped me were mini twist!!! I would leave mini twist in for two weeks (I was in college) .. and the third week I would wear my hair out then the week after I would have mini twist or another protective style with my own hair for another two then repeat . I also finger detangled
I saw the title of this video and immediately knew it was for me!
I just started doing in-between mini twist and medium sized twist and I leave them up for 2 weeks. Then I deep condition my hair, leave in condition, and oil my hair and scalp. Then retwist, recycling the same parts (I don't take my twist down in the process). I cleanse my hair once a month.
This is a little off topic. I have 4c hair and its growing fine...but am I the only one who gets envious of other women's long flowy hair. I love my texture but dang, I just wish my length would show.
miniimufin Agreed! Only way for me to actually see my full length is if I flat iron my hair. I hate it but do it up to 3 times a year.
Try streching it with thread twice it gives it a blow dried look and it stretches ur hair until it touches water or its humid
Maybe you should try doing a braidout. And there's one awesome thing that you can do with your hair that they can't because it hangs too much: get a round, voluminous afro. 😋 And the longer your hair gets, the bigger your fro gets. 😊
You can try pinning your twist around your head for more stretch, you can do a tension blowout, you can let your hair get really long in a natural state so that it will show its own length naturally. Their hair didn't grow overnight that took them at least 6 years minimum
I'm so lazy i wear the same loose bun for days if it looks the same when i wake up. I havent properly combed it out in years. and i go more than a month without remembering to wash. But my fro is thriving.
loved the glasses and hair style,lopvely,inspired
I used to do the twist thank God I no longer do them it takes too long to put them in and then when you take them out it's a battle now I just keep my hair straight and put it in four braids under my wig with the ends tucked away. my hair is doing way better now because I'm able to comb it out once a week which helps it to avoid all of those knots and stuff. I will never go back to twist again in my life.
Miss WOG Daily yeah I usually end up getting my natural hair blown out every 6-8 weeks (with a trim every 12 weeks) and just keep it up off my back and shoulders to prevent ends from splitting cause yeah I've dabbled in styling my hair in its natural state and it is *time consuming*. Lol I know they make massage brushes and whatnot but I just love the feel of a nylon/boar bristle paddle brush. It makes my hair shinier I feel whenever it's stretched so I feel ya. I end up keeping length because I don't get tangles! So I hear ya! 😊
💦 water, msm powder, vitamin C powder, liquid biotin
Lucianne Hinton. How do you use this mixture?
Where do you get liquid biotin?
TheMsbells I put it in water juice or my fruit smoothie
jorge pelaez Amazon
Lucianne Hinton have you tried using it I've been looking into msm powder lately and wanted to know if anyone saw results
I am a BIG lazy natural but I’ve been struggling with how to get my hair the length I want it to be.
But my regimen is just wash it every two weeks with a Maui shampoo, put in a deep conditioner, then spray it with a leave in, and twist it with a gel or curling cream. One the days when it’s dry I’ll untwist my hair and put a little oil on it because my hair doesn’t take oil two well but that’s my routine. I usually keep it twisted all week and only rock a twist out on special occasions or on the weekends
I have waste length hair and I thank God for it.
hermi balcha any tips how you got to that length?
Girl you are cute! The lipstick, the hair, the glasses - yes I’m so here for it!!!
ur legit glowing sis............its scarrry beeautifulllll!! ...yasssssssss!
this video is so me. I literally just tweeted about how my hair could be so much longer if I liked taking care of it. My hair is very thick and literally it just aggravates me. I'm all set. thanks for the tips
My go to protective style is two feedin cornrows. With Marley hair. Cute hair style and protective especially with gold cuffs or edges. I leave it in for about 2 - 3 weeks depending on how well I do them. Before I sleep I spray (Rosewater, glycerin and JBCO) wrap and sleep. In the morning I put on blue magic castor oil contioner and go about the day. When I take them out do a bun or puff or whatever for a week so I can do the inversion method and massage my scalp in general then rebraid.
I like to use the pulsating setting on my shower head when I wash my hair. It's a lovely way to massage the scalp while cleansing the hair.
Am definitely the lazy one but love seeing my hair flourish too
Omg...you are Nigeria, yayyyy I have found the channel for me. Is it bad that I love you already 😭
I love your channel u are very pretty and smart I see think u are a roll model to any women who has confidence in themselves with all the self hatred that is running rapid in our community aswell of other cultures its refreshing to see representation like u god bless u.
Girl twists are my business cause it's kinda short I wear mini twists and the growth is evident. I went from shoulder length and I'm almost at armpit length now
I put in faux locs to give myself a break while I get used to a new job/working two jobs. I think I'm gonna stick to faux locks, crochet braids, and havana twists until I get a flight attendant interview. I hope this will get me close to my length goals.
I don’t say lazy and natural. It’s beautiful and I love and practice hair protection. I’m all Man and my hair gotta be beautiful. Stay fly sweetheart
I like you and I was only watching you for 3.5 minutes when I came to that conclusion. Issa yes! I'm subscribing👍
I am not sure if this is lazy or not, but I guess it is. I will twist my whole head and then every week for a month I might retwist only around the edges and remoisturize. Same hairstyle for a month. At the end of the month a girl can still be getting compliments. Keeping hair moisturized makes the style look new even if it is not.
hello I do a lot of two strand twist on my natural hair very easy and mostly fast I would like to know how to grow my hair out, to get it long and healthy. so far i use the LOC Method and As I Am products and the wild growth oils its been working fine but i don't see a change in my hair.
I love your videos you give great advice.
Making copper water from distilled in my spray bottle makes my hair feel super soft and scalp soothed. Worth a try☺
Low manipulation is really key. I feel like my hair does it's best when I don't do alot to it. I'm just not great at styling though.
Oh my goodness. She is gorgeous !!!!
Your skin is also glowing and beautiful! Thanks for the lazy tips.....hehehe, aint nobody got time!
Very helpful video, can you please do a night time routine, sometimes I have to braid or twist my hair every night and it gets tiring, thanks
For sure!
Yes twists and protective styles are the only things that help me retain length
The problem I have with twist is they aren’t cute in my opinion I don’t see a point in having beautiful curls is imma walk around looking ugly. I’ve been wearing wigs lately or I try to prolong my braids out for at max 5-7 days
nia scaife right lol
Yess!
nia scaife please tell me how you survive from wig eating up your edges. I'm new to wigs before wigs o used to have a healthy hairline. Now the hair is gone. Please help.
Miss Elle it helps to lay the wig in place so it isn't moving when you wear it. also applying essential oils to your hairline before and after wears helps alot especially if you use a glue like gorilla snot or got2b glue around your forehead/hairline area
Miss Elle I don’t lay my wigs down with any glues or adhesives. Personally I don’t find it necessary unless you have a wig that the laces rolls or noticeable lifts. If I were to glue my wig down I have the got 2 b glued gel in black and I put it in the tiny space where the parting is and no where near my baby hairs bc despite what these RUclipsrs say it will rip your edges out of you don’t use it properly. I have a Wowafrican wig that is great is sheds a bit but the lace is lays flat on my head. Also if you have your hair in small cornrows underneath your wig it should lay flat with a wig that has good quality cap construction.
I don't use combs often to avoid breakage I just use my fingers to comb. It has worked for me.
DRINK WATER DRINK WATER DRINK WATER! Shampoo your hair in twists to prevent tangles and dryness. I like to keep my hair stretched with satin ribbons while in twists by wrapping my hair with the ribbons. This keeps my hair elongated while also retaining length.
Thank u just wat lazy naturals like me need. Glad I'm not alone in laziness! U rock !
Awwww, thanks!
🌷I just found you a few weeks ago...I’ve been watching all of your videos! I can’t get enough. 🥰 You are super informative and entertaining! Thank you! This super dry/super tangled... 4a/4b/4c hair sista appreciates your context immensely!!
Can you possibly do a video on your thoughts on Crochet Braids? I’ve only been about the CB life since last September. I did my own install last month. As I was crocheting my hair it occurred to me that the actual process might be damaging to the hair. First the metal hook being passed through braids and then the actual cb hair hanging from the braids. Am I wrong to think that this process might be detrimental? Any thoughts you have would be awesome sauce. 🌸
I found that I was doing so much with my hair that it wouldn't grow. I do my sons' hair with minimal products and their hair grows like weeds. So, "Less is more" is working right now. Thanks for the advice!
your skin, personality & this editing 😍😍
My lazy natural regimen: I let my hair get dirty, hair lotion after showers (i don't wear shower caps unless I have a protective style in), afros daily, scalp massages daily, water (i only really drink this), on wash day: prepoo, wash, condition, deep condition, then hot oil treatment (because i go so long without washing), most importantly TLC
Yasssss! I have found the right youtube hair channel!
I really appreciate you. I was just hoping for a lazier routine LoL. Hard work it is 🤷🏽♀️
Great advice!!! Love the specs, please share where you got them from....
Snapshot a pic of frames , take to your optical store and see if they can match you up, they really are gorgeous frames
I am super busy and terrible at styling so I twist my hair once a month in small twists or cornrows and about week 3 I just do twist outs until I go to the salon. I'm on the go from 6-8 weekly and my hair is thick and a good 12inches at least. I wash every weekend and moisturize daily. I find since I have become more dedicated to moisturising my hair has grown faster especially since heat damaged it and I had to cut it bit my bit for about 2 years to get rid of the damage
ForbsieLaLa I’m stiiiiiill working on being consistent with moisture but I had the same struggle with heat damage!
Girl, you are gorge! Your skin is blinding me! You should do skincare videos too.
Love the tips, I have incorporated most ideas. I have my hair in plaits (braids) spray with water and add oil.
Great video. I’m a fan of letting my hair get steam in the shower then applying a small amount of regular conditioner before I Style. Helps keep me moisturized .. also, cool points for “SSK”. We needed a name for those things lol
Washing your hair in Cornrow braids help me when I was wearing wigs. Thank you for this vid #NewSubbie!
Zara, I'm new to your channel. I just have to tell you how beautiful and radiant your skin is.
whenever I don't feel like dealing with my hair after moisturizing I just do cornrows till the next wash day two weeks later. and sometimes I don't even wear a wig when going out, i just throw on a face cap 😂. my hair does stay moisturized tho cause i spray my leave in and use an oil in the morning
Yup i am a very lazy natural, oil and water definitely my friend. My hair always looks healthy 👍🏾
You should be a face of products and we need to see me re natural women like u I'm in my 40s I sometimes think of going natural but I'm not ready yet I do hair weaves rite now my hair is very think n wavy in want more length I have thin edges and the nape of my hairs needs to grow out more before I can rock my real hair like u,I'll keep tuning in gob bless n stay well.
I love your hair so much! so thick and pretty
I love the glasses, are they prescribed lenses, did you get them online?
Did u get a reply
She is not replying to eyeglass frames y'all so I suggest snapshotting a picture of her in them and taking picture to your optical store and see if they can find them for you or something close to them, good luck ladies, these are gorgeous frames
Your lovely fist time watching your video, your vibe is 💯....
I love twists and they work well with my wigs and provide growth and healthy hair along with eating right, exercising and drinking alot of water and using the hair products that work for your hair.
You listing the Nigerian vegetable soups made my day 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Omg I love you! Great style, vibe and tresses!!!
Can you please make a video of how to wear wigs over your twists?
