1. Fenugreek seeds- soak in water for 24-36hs and use in spray bottle to hydrate hair daily 2. Don't comb kinks, put in protective styling (that lasts 4-6 weeks). I.e. cornrows, crochet, braids. At most, use wide tooth comb 3. Use natural products 4. Scalp massage with olive, avocado and coconut oil for penetration. Jojoba and grapseed oil for slip and shine 5. Conditioner with slip like sauve coconut 6. Have a wash routine. Don't brush when really wet or really dry. Use blow-dry tension method or threading 7. Detangle hair before seeing any stylist, or do ur own hair 8. Moringa powder in smoothies and teas 9. Leave your hair alone 10. Go natural
Agreeed my 4c had frustrated me coz it gets all kinky after wash and I end up relaxing it but now I have spent the year getting my hair trimmed off my hair stylist said to cut it off in stages lol
The fact you said you’ve never had long hair should automatically make anyone who is looking to grow their hair sub to you! It’s me, I’m anyone. Subbed 💓
@@juliatripp2010 love my natural hair too Sis! Wigs just allow me to go about my professional life while rockin' out to my crazy braids underneath 😉! My hair has increased in density and I am so happy! Currently wearing 2 african threading braids in the front and 4 in the back!
@5:19 "im sorry it sounds like im fighting but im rlly pasionate about this" -literally every black girl. Dont apologize and dont explain yourself! much love
I found you 3 days ago& I am now binge watching everything you've done. As a dark skinned 4c hair having girl it gives me comfort in your experience because I can relate & I believe what you say will work because you look like me (representation is everything) I have hit a road block in my hair growth journey & I figured my hair would not grow anymore. I did the "big chop" in hopes to retrain, strengthen & regrow my hair. I have been up almost 2 days researching Fenugreek & adding it to my hair regimen. I am have purchased your moisturizer & I'm making your suggestions my hair bible. A woman's hair especially a black woman's hair is verrry important to who she is & how she moves. I have prayed on this & I know this will make a big difference. I am an avid follower now. I am so grateful I found your channel.
You are so right about stylist who got some reason are rough with 4C hair like they are mad at it and hate it. I had one braid stylist to RIP through my tightly coiled wer hair with a piping hot blow-dryer. I was fuming😠😡😤👿😤😤😤 I told another stylist about that experience and that I ACTUALLY LOVE my 4C hair, please be gentle and she in turn was incredibly gentle with my hair. ❤
I know what you mean. I'm 5'11 and my hair is bra strap length but on a person who is like 5'2 or so with my hair would be like mid back length 🙄. So it may take us an extra year, but we'll get there!!!
@@naturallybran4240 the struggle be so real! A lot of the waist length girls are average height and under. When we get there it'll be deemed pretty impressive lol
I know the struggle. I’m only slightly above average height, but my sister is 5’2. Her hair looks longer because she’s shorter. Also, her neck and back area are shorter than mine. Not only do I have a little height to me, my damn neck and back be soooo damn long😫😭
Yanique West I totally feel u. I’m not 6 ft but I tell my kids all the time that if my neck was shorter my hair will be damn near waist length with 18 inches. So by the time I do actually get to waist length. I’ll have probably like 30’s Inches cause my neck length.🤦🏽♀️
I appreciate you showing your hair as a child. You truly proved the stereotype that someone has to have long hair as a child will have long hair as an adult. Excellent
My honest opinion is that. Individually we have to take pieces of information from here and there. Pieces of routine from here and there. Pieces of this and that. Get to know your hair. Love your hair. Own your hair. Pay attention to your hair. Be patient with your hair. Leave your hair. Figure out what works for your hair and stop minding other people's hair business. That's what worked for me.
Same I never had long hair as a child. I grew my hair out about 14 inches. I hit a plateau and yesterday I cut all my hair off lol. Starting this journey over again.
This is the first natrual hair 4c grower I finally stayed and listen to. Many 4c youtubers that make videos on how to grow hair long were pretty much born with it or had long perm hair before, so I never listened. Your pictures, steps, and video was very informative.
I always do crochet and it grew my hair. Ever since 2013, my hair started growing with crochet so I know she spitting FACTS. Crochet, faux locs and braids are what I do and I don't let anyone in my hair except my mother and I. Hairstylists always try to get me bald I wouldn't let them touch me with a 10 feet pole. If you don't like crochet; wigs and weaves do the job.
I absolutely love the fact that you didn't talk down on yourself and you embraced your hair texture and you proved my brother wrong that "4c hair doesn't grow" the reason why our black women's hair doesn't grow is because the relax it and leave there hair out and comb it. I love this video because im a 12 year old girl who is struggling to grow her hair. Thanks for this video now im going to try these methods
I love that you're speaking about the health of your hair, follicles, shaft, and cuticles. Your passion is infectious. You should not have to go through all that...before... you see your stylist!!!! Girl, that breaks my heart that your stylist isn't interested in the health of your hair. Fire them!!!!!!!!!! A great hairdresser teaches you how to properly care for your hair by doing just that. I loooove my hairdresser, I'm almost at operation waist length because of her. Even when I had to stop going to her because I couldn't afford to, she taught me how to properly care for my 4c hair. Stylist/hairdressers that don't have this type of passion...need to find a new line of work.
I’ve seen my hair grow and get thick when I deep conditioned it monthly, trim my spilt end every 4-6 months and literally put my hair in my favorite protective style ( two strand twists) medium size. Since I haven’t been moisturizing it and been manipulating it, it’s been falling out. Also my edges are getting thin. Back to glueless wigs and twist I go!
W.Cinderea I gave my hair a thorough brushing with conditioner in the shower to get all the tangles out before I started finger detangling, also it makes it easier to finger detangle if you do it before it has a chance to get super tangled. The more I did it the easier it got (I wear my hair in wash n gos) I limit to using a tool to once a month if that.
I thought i was the only one who questions hairstylists’ method of combing hair!!!! Unbelievable, heartless, careless! How can they advice me after that?!?!
For the first time ever in my life, and I am 62, I got crochet braids. I took them out myself and did not know that there were some braids, of my own hair that I did not take down. I washed my hair and it matted. In a panic I pulled out my hair trying to comb through it and now its thin. I retained some of the length but the thickness has gone. I was so angry with myself and now I am afraid of protective styles, such as, braids. I always wanted them and when I finally had them I screwed my hair up. I am going to start this journey again and try to learn about my own hair. I have been natural for at least 13 years. Recently I have been doing a lot of blow outs. I do not know what to do with my hair. I was going to cut it all off, then I remembered and you clarified that, a woman's hair is her glory. My hair is still healthy, I think, but every since that incident last year it is thinning. I am excited to use your products and begin a hair routine. My stylist does not treat my hair with love and tenderness. She pulls and tugs. I am going to take control of my own hair journey and get it back.
THANK YOU!!!! Finally a YTer who hasn't had butt-length hair since they were six years old. I've been natural my entire life and ive also been stuck at shoulder length my entire life so I WILL be taking notes
Great advice! I totally agree with using natural hair products made by small businesses on Etsy. I have an Etsy store & I also customize natural healing-care products for my customers using only the best organic, hand, picked ingredients. I also make everything to order, so it's fresh & better quality than the products sitting on the shelves at the store & in warehouses for months or sometimes years before it reaches the consumer. I'm on my natural hair journey & I'm starting a new RUclips channel sharing some of the tips that have worked for my super curly hair, starting with healing from the inside out. Your channel has inspired me! Keep up the great work! You're beautiful!!
I do 2 months as well, and I’ve been keeping up with the 2 months wash period for 3 and a half years now; my hair surpasses mid back. It’s a great way to grow kinky/curly hair, but in between time it is absolutely essential to oil/moisturize your hair(every 2-3 days). Great tips btw!!!!!
Wow Kelcy, well done. I like the part that you said leave ur hair alone. Leaving ur hair alone just allows ur hair to breathe and to make it grow the natural and not the forceful way. I like to keep my braids for a long time but alongside,I apply all the oils you mentioned, so am good to go. And that’s how I grow my hair. U and I speak the same hair language 😍. I really enjoyed watching your video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Charlene .W. I did January 2018... and wore a wig until I could get braids. It’ll be 2 years in a couple weeks. It was a slowwww process but I’m starting to be happy now. Lol
I totally agree with your explanation of what an ACTUAL “Protective Style” is! Love the look you’re sporting in this vid. Again, thanks for Sharing this information & tips. I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE!!🙏🏾👍🏾 Btw...You are way adorable!
You're so right about not detangling on wet hair, esp if you have fine hair like me. Even though our hair is stronger than straight hair and can be combed wet without being ripped to shreds doesn't mean it's still not in a very weak state. It's best to detangling on DAMP/slightly wet hair period. Your hair isnt constantly shrinking up on it's self either like it does when wet=more progress. I learned that the hard way when I used a tangle teezer in shower😭
Wow! My hair has grown SO much over the last year & my tip....? Leave it the hell alone! I TOTALLY agree with you! I box braid (not 2 small) & spray my roots with S-Curl (any curly perm spray) & I redo it every 4-6 weeks, my hair has never grown so much....so yeah, fingers, combs, brushes to a minimum. Oh, plus the BAGGY method is a game changer!
@@yaelboussamba3942 leaving conditioner on your hair then putting a shower/plastic cap over it so heat can form under the cap and open the hair pores to let the nutrients in. some people keep the cap on overnight
I really love your sense of humor, I like the fact that you are real, I laughed so hard when you said "my hair grows and yours don't" lol and then said you are probably not going to come back but pls do"🤣. You are funny girl, love from Nigeria
Our kinks are not meant to be combed...true. when I had locs my hair grew faster than it ever had because I did not disrupt my kinks. I try to remember that as a loose natural
I treat each strand like a loc lol I finger detangle exclusively. I only use tools if im straightening which i did 1 time last year. I combed it out that 1 time but i finger detangle and use chunky twist, mini twists. Combs and brushes just destroy my hair
Daniyella Harmon Same. I don’t care if it’s waist length(which is the holy grail length amongst black people), if I have to keep it under a wig for a lifetime for it to grow and stay long, then I don’t want it.
@@generalidakatana2561 You dont have to wear a wig am going to butt length just leave your hair alone. I do braids with own hair and twists i hate wigs
@@butterfly9274 Look up what Relaxers does to black women bodies/ internal system, maybe that's the reason they would rather wear a wig than relax their hair. There are wigs that looks similar to African American hair or maybe they want to play with color.
I'm so happy you mentioned the growth plateau because I'm experiencing that right now and it's been confusing me so I'm happy to hear that it is a thing that other people go through
@@Kaymitlit Me too, I can relate. Excedrin extra strength helps me but I heard they won't be making the ones specifically for migraines anymore not sure if its temporary or not. Its extremely expensive on Amazon and not much sellers has it on there selling either. I hope that helps you.
@@vincypearl5447 thanks you very much for your feedback ! good to know and of course for any prégnant women they should ask for their docteurs first 🐱. Have a good day 🌴
Girl yes to you!!!! Finally someone who’s actually 4C talking facts and with results to show. You are heaven sent! One question: where do you buy your Moringa powder?
"At least I got long hair and you dont." 🤣🤣🤣You are so so right. Leave your hair alone, and yeah, your hair may look hella raggedy under your wig, but youre growing it!!! Your advice is spot on!!
I thank god for you!! You are helping me. I just done the big chop a few days ago and now I’m watching your videos like everyday! Please continue what your doing and god will bless you for your selfless sacrifices.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hello Eugenia, I love watching your videos. They are very informational and extremely helpful. Since watching your videos, I've started using the Aloe Vera Juice, MSM, and Fenugreek mixture and my hair has so totalky grown! I'm like wow. I've never had long hair before but like you said about these all natural products: they work! My length before using was probably to the nape of my head, but now a little past my shoulders! It only been about a month if using it, that's what is amazing to me! Thank you for sharing all if your contents. It's truly been a blessing to me!!!
When she said “Anything that does not last your hair for 4-6 weeks is not protective style” Sis I have really sensitive scalp that gets dirty really quick and like clock work starts itching me every week. So I’ll wash my hair before my scalp bleeds from me starching it’s trying to make it last for 4 weeks.
The tip for me was the stylist one. My hair stylist used to use that tiny comb to tear out all my new growth. I've been walking around a 3 years natural with 1 year's worth of growth. Currently looking into styling my own hair.
Same. I had a stylist detangle and blow out my 4z hair with a denman. I told her 'noooooooooo!' But she said I got this. That was a year ago and I'm just now recovering. 😥😥
I disagree about the protective styling. My hair is almost tailbone length and I have been washing my hair every week for the past 3 years and i put in my weekly twist and my hair is moisturized and my ends are tucked aka protected and for the entire week! you don’t have to have your hair tucked away for 4-6 weeks for it to be considered a protective style that’s false information ma’am! other than that nice tips Edit: also just want to add, do what works for YOU! your hair does not have to be in a protective style in order for it to grow! take care of your ends and RETAIN that length with TLC 🥰
It's Addie the problem is she didn’t just say oo that worked for me so try it. She said if you do this you are not protecting your hair and will not grow/ retain length that is where the problem lies as it’s false information
Great tips! I never thought of getting hair products from etsy! Just subscribe! I'm Hispanic with curly hair and my husband is African with tight curly hair. I love to watch these videos because my son and future children I know will have kinky curly hair and I want to keep it natural and healthy!really great info!
The Ariel we need !! thanks for tips & research you put in ! Smoothie tip- the simpler the better: one recipe i made up: 8oz (frozen) strawberries (rinse them b4 use) 4oz (frozen) mango chunks 3 blueberries 3 pineapple chunks (chilled can) 3 to 4 oz of pineapple juice (same can)^ Mix altogether eat remaining pineapple chunks with smoothie
Careful of those twists. I used to twist as a protective under my wigs but then i got a quarter size "bald" patch in the back. My hair completely broke off. Could be from stress or diet but im back to looser cornrows.
I combat this by learning to braid my own hair. I'm not the most patient person so it took a while to get into but I've been braiding my own hair for a couple of years and my hair has done so well.
You're so cute and helpful! Just want to say that in high school I texturized my hair and grew it long and yes, it's practically the same as with natural hair when it comes to sealing and moisturizing, protective styling, all of those are still important for retaining any length whatsoever!
You are doing a great job taking care of your hair! I would also suggest taking collegen everyday. I put collegen power in my coffee and it has made my hair stronger and that also means less change of breakage.
Let's talk about how sometimes aside from pulling the hell out of your hair, stylists chop your ish when it's just supposed to be "a trim". This has happened to me twice now. Never again... Happy to have found your page girl. Thank's for all of the tips. Do you have any success stories/pics sent to you before and after your followers tried your advice?
Good tips! Getting rid of detangling tools helped my hair out a lot this year. Lol I was dying when you said "Cry, it helps." 😂😂 Also, you're beautiful ♥️
I cut my hair two weeks ago and it's already growing back super fast. My hair grows back fast anyways. I already had that kinky hair, even with I had process and relaxed my hair, I still had that nice curl pattern. I wanted to try something different and here it is, chopped off. I use aloe vera, honey, Jamaican Castor Oil, and olive oil. I had to experiment with different hair products. What works for you doesn't mean it going to work for everyone else. And I make sure to massage my hair every night also, it helps stimulate hair growth also.
RUclips recommendations brings me and Lord have mercy you're an adorable girl, breathtaking actually with a lovely heart. Blessings to you and your family 🕊️
So true what you said abt these hair stylists rushing and breaking your hair. It’s ridiculous how much hair I’ve lost going to a professional. The last time i went i detangled and moisturized my hair prior and it made a HUGE difference now i only go for trims and i blow dry my hair b4 i go
Don't obsesse over your hair. I swear you will go insane 😂. I did that and my hair stayed the same length for awhile once I stop obsessing over it. It started to grow again. Now my hair is 20 to 22 inches long. Never thought I could grow my hair this long. Now I'm reaching for a hip bone length.
so glad i found your channel and im so excited to try some of your tips for my 4c hair!! i've been natural since 2015 and my hair is struggling, it fell out after i miscarried a year and a half ago , it was growing okay before that , but i noticed when i got pregnant my hair really jumped and then after it fell out and hasn't been the same since then. can't wait to try some of this stuff out!!
I am about to comb out my locs of 8 years! I have 4c hair and I started locs because I had no clue how to manage it in its natural state. So now that my hair is almost waist length I am reaaaaddddyyyy😭😭😭
Yeah you're right. I feel like some stylist is jealous about their clients hair being healthier than theirs or it's longer than yours and they might not like you but does your hair for the money.not realizing how hard you've worked to get your hair where it's at. Yes I use youtube to find routines like deep conditioning or oil treatments....I've learned my lesson.... thank you for the tips

Covid19 has me LOVING wigs!!! Been wearing and caring for my hair under wigs since late May 2020! Growth is phenomenal!!!
Me too. Love wigs but love my natural hair and am on the journey
My hair has grown a lot wearing wigs and I can be more versatile with hair color, length and styles.
They hate because they aint got no hair. I got 4c hair and had it under wigs. Especially 4c hair it likes to be left alone. It will grow like crazy

Try making box braids with just your hair. Or would that be bad?
Just wear twist
I’ve seen my hair grow and get thick when I deep conditioned it monthly, trim my spilt end every 4-6 months and literally put my hair in my favorite protective style ( two strand twists) medium size. Since I haven’t been moisturizing it and been manipulating it, it’s been falling out. Also my edges are getting thin. Back to glueless wigs and twist I go!

Tonya Jones I prefer to use a detangling brush but I only need to use it when I fall off my normal routine
You don't ever have itchy scalp?
I thought i was the only one who questions hairstylists’ method of combing hair!!!! Unbelievable, heartless, careless! How can they advice me after that?!?!
Low manipulation styles are just as good as protective styles (if not better) in myyy opinion
Elvonne's Essentials low manipulation styles is a form of protective styling.
Truuuuu (in my 2Chainz voice) 🤣
Well how long is your hair is it as long as hers? No hate just a question
Gerda pierre No, I cut my hair off for the 2nd time in March 2018 but you can see the length in my “watch me stretch my wash n go” video
FACTSSS
For the first time ever in my life, and I am 62, I got crochet braids. I took them out myself and did not know that there were some braids, of my own hair that I did not take down. I washed my hair and it matted. In a panic I pulled out my hair trying to comb through it and now its thin. I retained some of the length but the thickness has gone. I was so angry with myself and now I am afraid of protective styles, such as, braids. I always wanted them and when I finally had them I screwed my hair up. I am going to start this journey again and try to learn about my own hair. I have been natural for at least 13 years. Recently I have been doing a lot of blow outs. I do not know what to do with my hair. I was going to cut it all off, then I remembered and you clarified that, a woman's hair is her glory. My hair is still healthy, I think, but every since that incident last year it is thinning. I am excited to use your products and begin a hair routine. My stylist does not treat my hair with love and tenderness. She pulls and tugs. I am going to take control of my own hair journey and get it back.
deep conditioning as I watch this.. I slacked on my hair so much this year.. no more though! Thanks for sharing!
I literally said that today
THANK YOU!!!! Finally a YTer who hasn't had butt-length hair since they were six years old. I've been natural my entire life and ive also been stuck at shoulder length my entire life so I WILL be taking notes
Finally someone that gives timelines with their routines.
I don't like videos where people chat for long, but this one is worth it. Thanks for the info.
That hair color is so pretty on you!
thank you :)
Great advice! I totally agree with using natural hair products made by small businesses on Etsy. I have an Etsy store & I also customize natural healing-care products for my customers using only the best organic, hand, picked ingredients. I also make everything to order, so it's fresh & better quality than the products sitting on the shelves at the store & in warehouses for months or sometimes years before it reaches the consumer. I'm on my natural hair journey & I'm starting a new RUclips channel sharing some of the tips that have worked for my super curly hair, starting with healing from the inside out. Your channel has inspired me! Keep up the great work! You're beautiful!!
I do not like hairstylists! They don’t care if they break your hair. My hair has went through so much 😭. You’re inspiring me. Thank you
0:11 You look absolutely gorgeous in that oufit. Everything is literally beautiful about you. Your hair and your skin are so flawless
I do 2 months as well, and I’ve been keeping up with the 2 months wash period for 3 and a half years now; my hair surpasses mid back. It’s a great way to grow kinky/curly hair, but in between time it is absolutely essential to oil/moisturize your hair(every 2-3 days). Great tips btw!!!!!
for years I would do SIX months hahaha I called it the leave it the f alone method. hahahaha
Speak passionately. Always. It didn’t seem like you were fighting. AT ALL. much love 💚 thanks for the tips boo
Your so pretty I can’t even deal 😍😍😍 your hair is definitely goals
Wow Kelcy, well done. I like the part that you said leave ur hair alone. Leaving ur hair alone just allows ur hair to breathe and to make it grow the natural and not the forceful way. I like to keep my braids for a long time but alongside,I apply all the oils you mentioned, so am good to go. And that’s how I grow my hair. U and I speak the same hair language 😍. I really enjoyed watching your video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
“When they start yanking your hair cry!!” I love it loll
Lowkey feel like shaving my head and starting fresh 😕
Charlene .W. Yeah you should do it ! I have done it recently - no regrets!
Charlene .W. I did January 2018... and wore a wig until I could get braids. It’ll be 2 years in a couple weeks. It was a slowwww process but I’m starting to be happy now. Lol
use peppermint oil, the circulation to your hair follicles will increase thus increasing hair growth.
Girl I shaved my head in 2017... greatest decision of my life
Oo oh I've had these thoughts before too 😂
The way I’ve been natural all my life and I’m still at shoulder lengthhhhh😭😭
Sambiro Kitawi at least u got that! I’m here still looking bald😂😂😂
Same here😢😢😭😭
Same
I totally agree with your explanation of what an ACTUAL “Protective Style” is!
Love the look you’re sporting in this vid. Again, thanks for Sharing this information & tips.
I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THIS MESSAGE!!🙏🏾👍🏾
Btw...You are way adorable!
You're so right about not detangling on wet hair, esp if you have fine hair like me. Even though our hair is stronger than straight hair and can be combed wet without being ripped to shreds doesn't mean it's still not in a very weak state.
It's best to detangling on DAMP/slightly wet hair period.
Your hair isnt constantly shrinking up on it's self either like it does when wet=more progress.
I learned that the hard way when I used a tangle teezer in shower😭
Wow! My hair has grown SO much over the last year & my tip....? Leave it the hell alone! I TOTALLY agree with you! I box braid (not 2 small) & spray my roots with S-Curl (any curly perm spray) & I redo it every 4-6 weeks, my hair has never grown so much....so yeah, fingers, combs, brushes to a minimum. Oh, plus the BAGGY method is a game changer!
What is the baggy method please ?
@@yaelboussamba3942 leaving conditioner on your hair then putting a shower/plastic cap over it so heat can form under the cap and open the hair pores to let the nutrients in. some people keep the cap on overnight
😍🇬🇭Im so happy I found you at the begining of your youtube journey.
I can't wait to see your channel grow.🌱😩💕
Golden Pineapple aww thank you💛🥺 . Ghana represent 🇬🇭🇬🇭

The best natural hair youtubers with the most gorgeous hair are always Ghanaian!😍🇬🇭
@@blessingashanti7039 factss 👌🏾
yes
I really love your sense of humor, I like the fact that you are real, I laughed so hard when you said "my hair grows and yours don't" lol and then said you are probably not going to come back but pls do"🤣. You are funny girl, love from Nigeria
Love
Our kinks are not meant to be combed...true. when I had locs my hair grew faster than it ever had because I did not disrupt my kinks. I try to remember that as a loose natural
I treat each strand like a loc lol I finger detangle exclusively. I only use tools if im straightening which i did 1 time last year. I combed it out that 1 time but i finger detangle and use chunky twist, mini twists. Combs and brushes just destroy my hair
When do you let your hair out? And for how long? I would hate to do all this work and not even show it off a little lol
Daniyella Harmon Same. I don’t care if it’s waist length(which is the holy grail length amongst black people), if I have to keep it under a wig for a lifetime for it to grow and stay long, then I don’t want it.
@@generalidakatana2561 You dont have to wear a wig am going to butt length just leave your hair alone. I do braids with own hair and twists i hate wigs
Tis witchcraft is holy grail length? I never really cared for it to be that long. I would be trying to cut it off honestly
Daniyella Harmon yeah! Don’t understand why us black women hate relaxed hair but love wigs😏
@@butterfly9274 Look up what Relaxers does to black women bodies/ internal system, maybe that's the reason they would rather wear a wig than relax their hair. There are wigs that looks similar to African American hair or maybe they want to play with color.
I'm so happy you mentioned the growth plateau because I'm experiencing that right now and it's been confusing me so I'm happy to hear that it is a thing that other people go through
Fenugreek tea or pills is also good for migraine suffers if ingested everyday. Helps to reduce migraine attacks.
Very good too now thank you I have migraine before during and after my period peace and love from Paris
@@Kaymitlit Me too, I can relate. Excedrin extra strength helps me but I heard they won't be making the ones specifically for migraines anymore not sure if its temporary or not. Its extremely expensive on Amazon and not much sellers has it on there selling either. I hope that helps you.
@@vincypearl5447 thanks you very much for your feedback ! good to know and of course for any prégnant women they should ask for their docteurs first 🐱. Have a good day 🌴
Oh my goodness, thank youuuuu so much for the info. God bless you
But it gives u smelly armbit stink
Girl yes to you!!!! Finally someone who’s actually 4C talking facts and with results to show. You are heaven sent! One question: where do you buy your Moringa powder?
i get them on etsy
"At least I got long hair and you dont." 🤣🤣🤣You are so so right. Leave your hair alone, and yeah, your hair may look hella raggedy under your wig, but youre growing it!!! Your advice is spot on!!
I thank god for you!! You are helping me. I just done the big chop a few days ago and now I’m watching your videos like everyday! Please continue what your doing and god will bless you for your selfless sacrifices.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You are gorgeous girl & with a beautiful personality. Your skin is flawless. I love my people 💕
Hello Eugenia,
I love watching your videos. They are very informational and extremely helpful.
Since watching your videos, I've started using the Aloe Vera Juice, MSM, and Fenugreek mixture and my hair has so totalky grown! I'm like wow. I've never had long hair before but like you said about these all natural products: they work!
My length before using was probably to the nape of my head, but now a little past my shoulders! It only been about a month if using it, that's what is amazing to me!
Thank you for sharing all if your contents. It's truly been a blessing to me!!!
"If you're relaxed, I just don't know how to help you" 😂🙆♀️
Adellaide Chiposa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My hair is relaxed what she means ???
Jewell I guess it’s hard to grow ur hair out with a relaxer because of the harsh chemicals but Idk
I've been having relaxers ever since
¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
There are plenty of other youtubers with relaxed hare care tips.
When she said “Anything that does not last your hair for 4-6 weeks is not protective style”
Sis I have really sensitive scalp that gets dirty really quick and like clock work starts itching me every week. So I’ll wash my hair before my scalp bleeds from me starching it’s trying to make it last for 4 weeks.
Fit Sue same it sucks 😩
Black jamaican castor oil is needed
The most growth I ever got out of my hair is when i put it in a protective style and left it for 2 months... amazing tips
The tip for me was the stylist one.
My hair stylist used to use that tiny comb to tear out all my new growth.
I've been walking around a 3 years natural with 1 year's worth of growth.
Currently looking into styling my own hair.
Same. I had a stylist detangle and blow out my 4z hair with a denman. I told her 'noooooooooo!' But she said I got this. That was a year ago and I'm just now recovering. 😥😥
"Sir, ma'am, sir, stop" lmao I love you
I disagree about the protective styling. My hair is almost tailbone length and I have been washing my hair every week for the past 3 years and i put in my weekly twist and my hair is moisturized and my ends are tucked aka protected and for the entire week! you don’t have to have your hair tucked away for 4-6 weeks for it to be considered a protective style that’s false information ma’am! other than that nice tips
Edit: also just want to add, do what works for YOU! your hair does not have to be in a protective style in order for it to grow! take care of your ends and RETAIN that length with TLC 🥰
Thank you me too i hate wigs so long as your ends are tucked in i like wearing my
hair twisted or braided in my own hair and its thriving
Infinitely Blessed exactly! and it works 😊
Britt Doll it’s not false information. That is what worked for HER.
Please make video on it and tag me. Thanks
It's Addie the problem is she didn’t just say oo that worked for me so try it. She said if you do this you are not protecting your hair and will not grow/ retain length that is where the problem lies as it’s false information
she said my hair is long and yours isn't and I really felt that lmbo
Just subscribe. You are telling me more info that anybody on here. Keep up the amazing work👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Great tips! I never thought of getting hair products from etsy! Just subscribe! I'm Hispanic with curly hair and my husband is African with tight curly hair. I love to watch these videos because my son and future children I know will have kinky curly hair and I want to keep it natural and healthy!really great info!
The Ariel we need !! thanks for tips & research you put in ! Smoothie tip- the simpler the better: one recipe i made up:

Thanks for sharing!!
*You are so freaking pretty. Your red undertone skin & that Rapunzel hair 🤯 Beautiful* ✨🧜🏿♀️❤️
Thanks for the video. There are people who have relaxed hair and still grow their hair beautiful and strong. Everyone's hair is different.
I don’t really like braids. They look amazing, but they always feel too tight! I am, however, a twist advocate.
I like twists in itself just not flat twists
I vowed for 2020, I'm not doing anymore braid outs or braids. My hair isn't receptive to it, but loves twist.
Diana Gunn
Same!
Careful of those twists. I used to twist as a protective under my wigs but then i got a quarter size "bald" patch in the back. My hair completely broke off. Could be from stress or diet but im back to looser cornrows.
I combat this by learning to braid my own hair. I'm not the most patient person so it took a while to get into but I've been braiding my own hair for a couple of years and my hair has done so well.
You're so cute and helpful! Just want to say that in high school I texturized my hair and grew it long and yes, it's practically the same as with natural hair when it comes to sealing and moisturizing, protective styling, all of those are still important for retaining any length whatsoever!
sorry for the late reply but does texturizing your hair make it curlier
Girl I was just thinking about my hair
@MiszBeauty14 🤣🤣you're killing me!!
You are doing a great job taking care of your hair! I would also suggest taking collegen everyday. I put collegen power in my coffee and it has made my hair stronger and that also means less change of breakage.
Let's talk about how sometimes aside from pulling the hell out of your hair, stylists chop your ish when it's just supposed to be "a trim". This has happened to me twice now. Never again... Happy to have found your page girl. Thank's for all of the tips. Do you have any success stories/pics sent to you before and after your followers tried your advice?
hell no! I wouldn't let anyone cut my hair ever. it's a trick. i cut it or it doesn't get cut hahaha
Gosh I love your personality. I'm really feeling this girl. Keep up the good work hun
When she snapped out of the lecture to say “I’m sorry it sounds like I’m fighting “ the passion is strong with this one😂
Good tips! Getting rid of detangling tools helped my hair out a lot this year. Lol I was dying when you said "Cry, it helps." 😂😂 Also, you're beautiful ♥️
I don't understand how I never ran Into you before! OMG! I love you😍😍😍! You are everything! New subbie😘
I cut my hair two weeks ago and it's already growing back super fast. My hair grows back fast anyways. I already had that kinky hair, even with I had process and relaxed my hair, I still had that nice curl pattern. I wanted to try something different and here it is, chopped off. I use aloe vera, honey, Jamaican Castor Oil, and olive oil. I had to experiment with different hair products. What works for you doesn't mean it going to work for everyone else. And I make sure to massage my hair every night also, it helps stimulate hair growth also.
RUclips recommendations brings me and Lord have mercy you're an adorable girl, breathtaking actually with a lovely heart. Blessings to you and your family 🕊️
So true what you said abt these hair stylists rushing and breaking your hair. It’s ridiculous how much hair I’ve lost going to a professional. The last time i went i detangled and moisturized my hair prior and it made a HUGE difference now i only go for trims and i blow dry my hair b4 i go
i am so desperate for long hair and my hair is so stubborn. just bought a shampoo with peppermint and the seeds to soak. Pray for a sis girl..hahah
@Eeaura Liome They're on Amazon
Don't obsesse over your hair. I swear you will go insane 😂. I did that and my hair stayed the same length for awhile once I stop obsessing over it. It started to grow again. Now my hair is 20 to 22 inches long. Never thought I could grow my hair this long. Now I'm reaching for a hip bone length.
so glad i found your channel and im so excited to try some of your tips for my 4c hair!! i've been natural since 2015 and my hair is struggling, it fell out after i miscarried a year and a half ago , it was growing okay before that , but i noticed when i got pregnant my hair really jumped and then after it fell out and hasn't been the same since then. can't wait to try some of this stuff out!!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a miscarriage last week Thursday and pain of it none can fathom. May God heal you and restore you even the hair
Someone may have already asked this but how often do you wear your hair out and enjoy your natural hair?
When you said, "at least I have long hair and you don't," I laughed so hard. I love your energy and honesty. 🩷
I am about to comb out my locs of 8 years! I have 4c hair and I started locs because I had no clue how to manage it in its natural state. So now that my hair is almost waist length I am reaaaaddddyyyy😭😭😭
“the acerage person grows 6 inches a year”
me, growing 2 inches every year 😳
Hahaha 🤣😂😂😂 we are the same. Don't worry,you aren't alone.
Girl I think you just saved my hair’s life
These tips for 4c hair are so helpful. I have been looking for ways to breakthrough the plateau. I'll try these!!. Thank you so much girl! 💞
sound like i'm fighting but i'm really passionate about this🤣...I can tell!
Thank you for being real and not just doing it for views
Wash day 2x a week will bless ones hair health immensely !! Trust
Alex Burgess Exactly. That influx of moisture can keep you right!
Yeah you're right. I feel like some stylist is jealous about their clients hair being healthier than theirs or it's longer than yours and they might not like you but does your hair for the money.not realizing how hard you've worked to get your hair where it's at. Yes I use youtube to find routines like deep conditioning or oil treatments....I've learned my lesson.... thank you for the tips
