I remembered watching your videos and couldn't wait till my hair to be that length. Well finally, it's almost there! 3 1/2 yrs later and my length is 21 inches long! Im doing the happy dance about now!!!!😄😄😄😄
Four years natural and my hair is 23 inches long! You were and still is my motivation! It's possible for African Americans to have long healthy hair! #teamnatural
+Brig “BYG” G It will. Just eat good and take care of your hair beautiful. I know there is not a picture of you. I am just saying it anyway just to say it. God Bless.
Wow! Your hair is beautiful. You had inspired me to go natural. I made a commitment that I wouldn't flat iron my hair for 2 years and I've almost made my 1 year mark. Thank you!
It's so much fun to watch your journey. I've been all natural since January 2013. I just got a hair cut in June 2014. It was my first trim, and I'm loving my curls, as that trim took off the last little bits of relaxer. I'm so excited to see if I get less breakage over the next year. Thanks for inspiring me to be patient, and to take better care of my hair! Much appreciation!!
What I REALLY like about this video, is that you took the SIMPLE concept of a length check and mad a BOMB video out of it!! Great editing! SOO entertaining!
smh your hair is so pretty. Ever since i had surgery on my head my hair never grew back to it length :( which was shoulder length. I do not wear weaves or wigs but i am so motivated to show my family that your length is capable. And im gonna do it without putting extra hair on my head, so ppl can see the struggles but also the hard work with hard results. I hope my hair can look as healthy as yours. Simply a inspiration to see. Thank you
When I get tired of my natural hair, I watch your videos and get motivated all over again. My goal is to reach your length in a 2 year, but seems like forever. I'm brastrap length now, long way to go.
I love looking back at your old videos because it helps me see that you didn't always have such long tresses! You are definitely an inspiration. Your vids have become so high tech:)
Lol meee too and I've showed this to so many people. Like "see its possible for blacks to grow long hair" but sadly my family and friends don't believe it. I'm currently transitioning from relaxed to natural so they'll be believers in a few years.
Atsuko Smiless I know that's right! I got a couple of family members who don't believe it as well but we'll definitely prove them wrong! Best wishes on your hair journey girl! Oh yeah I love your profile picture, it stood out to me because it looks like Tiffany or one of the members of Girls Generation! Have a great day!
kerducky . Its a pic of Taeyeon! ^.^ but Tiff does look like Tae a bit so I can understand that. And good luck on yours too, I love how your hair looks.
I watched all your length check videos and omg... I'm impressed!! You have gorgeous hair and you are now hair-spiration lol! I've been natural for about three years now and my hair is basically the length of your hair in your first length check video (which for me is an improvement because I cut my relaxed hair before going natural)I really do need to start taking better care of my hair though. I'll watch your videos for tips.
I know you get this a lot, but I truly admire you. I have been watching your page for 2yrs now and just restarted my natural journey January of this year. Thank you for being courageous and wonderful! Basically for being yourself!!!
I see a big difference between your length check #1 and this one (length check #5). Not only in your hair but also in your attitude and confidence. Love it! I just can't help but wonder if you retained length due to your avoidance of heat. I have been natural for one year and am shocked how long my hair has grown and I have not used heat.
naptural85 has motivated me to become natural. I am now transitioning from harsh relaxers and now also using minimal heat in my hair. I'm loving the different styles I can do with my natural hair texture it's never a dull moment :)
Oh my goodness your hair is so pretty!!!! And you're gorgeous! I can't seem to get my hair to grow past 5 inches but I'm working on it ^_^ love the vids!!
Yes her hair is incredible...I can't say enough about it...But let's give praise to the way she edited this video....OMGOSH...I'm so in luv with the creativity...keep the crazily cool videos coming.... Cheers!!!
for some reason its easy to think you just woke up with all this gorgeous hair. but your other length checks are so helpful to show you started at the bottom just like all of us natural girls did. and that is so inspirational!!! i'm currently where you were in your 2nd length check
Thank you for posting this hair length update, I am AMAZED at the difference in your hair length from your first length post back in 2010 to today 2013. I stopped getting Perms in October 2010 and finally got up the nerve to do my "big chop" just this August 2013. My now ALL NATURAL hair length is exactly where your's was in your 2010 video. I hope to follow in your hair footsteps!!
That is what this community is all about. It's not a contest to see who can beat whom. Its about loving ourselves, each other and celebrating the beauty of something we were told was ugly. Long or short, we delight in seeing each other's progress, innovative styles, care tips. We love the TWA styles as much as the long styles.Some of us have opted to cut our hair back to shorter lengths for convienience sake. Love of our beauty is the main concern!
It's the fact that she is a good person and an example of good character that inspires me. The hair is a by product. It's just nice to see sisters on here showing how beautiful something we were told was ugly really is. I love it all! And that is the real key. We are so beautiful. What god gave us is beautiful. LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE! That's what she doesn't get. Its a celebration of embracing all off us and the wonderful diversity we have in our community. That's what makes me smile!
I know I'm not her, but your hair should grow roughly 6 inches a year. It should grow a half an inch a month with proper maintenance and care. She has a video for transitioners and healthy hair care. It's organized on her channel. It helped me out a lot because I am transitioning too and I was lost my first couple of months in. Hope that hopes.
Same here. My hair has been growing 1/2 an inch every month. I make sure to drink the proper amount of water a day, my vitamins, and deep condition and moisturize my hair properly. I had NO CLUE! Her videos help so much.
I love how your hair has blossomed so healthy and beautifully Whitney!!! I will also say in my opinion you have displayed the same down-to-earth personality since you have been sharing your hair journey with your YT buddies & admire that in you. There are other YT Hair Vloggers that I've noticed appear to have changed during their more recent hair videos ("snooty" & impersonal) because their hair has grown, but you keep it REAL ;). Thanks for sharing your journeys. Peace & Blessings!
Her hair is jumpin! 👏👏👏👏 #goals #inspiration I cannot wait to get to this length! I went natural 8 months ago! So I am still learning my hair and in the beginning of my journey! But I look to these videos for inspiration! Thanks for uploading ! And congrats on all your hair milestones!
My hair used to be this length when I was about 8 and the. It started cutting out from going to swimming and now it's a fresh start for me and I'm only 12 😏
14 DISLIKES.. are you serious??!! How can anybody dislike this video? Must be the jealous ones! Your hair is GORGEOUS Whitney! Let the haters hate! Thanks for sharing your updated growth!
Prob your most highly anticipated video ever...and you killed it! Loving the hair!!! It's amazing to see how much growth you've had over the years. Oh, and I love the song too...reminds me of your older videos. Thanks for sharing!
your hair is truly a beautiful work of art! the thickness the length. mainly the thickness.. something this thin haired natural envy's! Your mane is AMAZING.
Thanks for the vids. I grew my hair out with you the past 3yrs and learned so much about my hair. It got pretty long and I got bored so I cut it into a bob for a bit. I've learned so much from you. Thanks so much!!!
I am always so amazed by how beautiful hair is and how well it grows! I cant wait for my hair to be that long! I have been natural now for two and half years and cant wait to hit the four year mark and beyond!
Thanks for the video! You show women that patience and taking great care of your hair is key and that we can grow hair longer than those who paid $400 for a couple of 24" bundles. Oh and don't straighten your hair, especially not for anyone but yourself.
I'm sure this is the most watched length check video this week..LOL. Your hair is so beautiful. I am always amazed too at just how simple your regimen is.
Gorgeous!! Natural hair is the best.. Shes been growing her natural hair since about 2009 for those who wanted to know.. Some of her old videos are still up!
One day, Lord! Whitney your hair is amazing! Every time I watch one of your vids and my husband comes in, he even talks about how beautiful your hair is!
How many years have you been natural again? You're my inspiration. After about 13 months without relaxing, transitioning for 10 months and 3 months or so after my big chop, I have 5 and a half to six inches of natural hair. One day, one day......
Seeing your first length check video and seeing this gives me hope for my own hair. :) thank you so much for all of your videos, Whitney. You're great!
Personally, I'm mixed. Very mixed. My hair is the longest its ever been in my life. I've had many set backs and made MANY mistakes that resulted in me having to cut back my ends to keep it healthy, but I'm getting the hang of it. The most important thing is patience. Don't burn yourself out because your hair isn't a certain length in a certain amount of time. You are all individuals and you are all different. Love youselves. You are second to no one. We are all beautiful! LOVE YOU!
OMG!!! Love your hair Whitney!!! Absolutely beautiful and Inspirational!!! I love how at the end of the video you had a time line journal of length checks and varying hair styles thorughout your journey. :)
The unintentional slay of this video 😍😍😍
Andrea Andrea the way homegirl was swinging that beautiful hair and whipping it back n forth nearly gave me a heart attack lol
I remembered watching your videos and couldn't wait till my hair to be that length. Well finally, it's almost there! 3 1/2 yrs later and my length is 21 inches long! Im doing the happy dance about now!!!!😄😄😄😄

I pray someday i come to make a similar comment
It just looks so freaking healthy. GOALS!
Four years natural and my hair is 23 inches long! You were and still is my motivation! It's possible for African Americans to have long healthy hair! #teamnatural
You should consider creating and marketing your own line of natural hair care products.
Dante Velasquez the irony of this comment now. Lol
@@SharellJ Legit, just thinking this, clicked on view reply, and boom! Lol
Well, that came true😃.
@@SharellJ LOL right
How can anyone dislike this video?!?!? Her hair is beyond perfect! Go Whitney!!
Your hair is simply beautiful!!!!!...I just did my big chop on 2/25/14. I believe my hair will grow super long like yours.
My big chop was March 8th 2015 I wish I could have long hair
Mine was on 2/21/14 lol big chop buddies
+Brig “BYG” G It will. Just eat good and take care of your hair beautiful. I know there is not a picture of you. I am just saying it anyway just to say it. God Bless.
I like rewatching her length check videos from time to time. Such beautiful healthy hair 😍😍😍
Same here. Hoping maybe one day I will catch up. It's August 2023.
This is #hairporn!!! cannot wait until my hair gets this length
You've come so far! I'm 9 months natural and I can't wait to get to this length. My hair is only 10 inches long, but I'm getting there.
She was whippin that hair LOL get it gurl ... gawjesss!!!!!
It's that time again for another length check! I know you said you don't know how many more you'd do but the people are ready and love them lol
Wow! Your hair is beautiful. You had inspired me to go natural. I made a commitment that I wouldn't flat iron my hair for 2 years and I've almost made my 1 year mark. Thank you!
Every time you whipped I went YASSS
+courtni watkins Hi courtni!! LOLOL!!!!! I'm re-watching this for like the UmphBILLION-onth time lol and I am with ya on the "whip it YASSS" : )

Idk if that was a twist out or what but it was so pretty 😣 I can't wait until my hair gets this long.
What I REALLY like about this video, is that you took the SIMPLE concept of a length check and mad a BOMB video out of it!! Great editing! SOO entertaining!
24 inches?!....now that's what I'm talking about.
smh your hair is so pretty. Ever since i had surgery on my head my hair never grew back to it length :( which was shoulder length. I do not wear weaves or wigs but i am so motivated to show my family that your length is capable. And im gonna do it without putting extra hair on my head, so ppl can see the struggles but also the hard work with hard results. I hope my hair can look as healthy as yours. Simply a inspiration to see. Thank you
You always have the best music to go with your hair videos!
Man, your twist outs are bomb. I tired your method and got great results. I received so many compliments that day. Thank you Whitney!
Love her length check vids..its like she's doing a tango with her hair lol
Love the drama of the shots and the timing with the music. Excellent editing!
I love this video! I think it's the music and the hair flips! So fab! lol Love ya Whitney!
When I get tired of my natural hair, I watch your videos and get motivated all over again. My goal is to reach your length in a 2 year, but seems like forever. I'm brastrap length now, long way to go.
i thought this was a tool ad in the beggining till you walked in lmao
I love looking back at your old videos because it helps me see that you didn't always have such long tresses! You are definitely an inspiration. Your vids have become so high tech:)
You're definitley my hairspiration!
So true Atsuko, so true! My words exactly, I think I've watched this video like 10 times! =)
Lol meee too and I've showed this to so many people. Like "see its possible for blacks to grow long hair" but sadly my family and friends don't believe it. I'm currently transitioning from relaxed to natural so they'll be believers in a few years.

Its a pic of Taeyeon! ^.^ but Tiff does look like Tae a bit so I can understand that. And good luck on yours too, I love how your hair looks.
Atsuko Smiless Thank you very much! Boy I've come a long way, up until about 2 years ago my hair was an "oh sheesh!"
I watched all your length check videos and omg... I'm impressed!! You have gorgeous hair and you are now hair-spiration lol!

Can u please do a length check #6 for 2014?? Plz!!!!
That was a great post!!!! I'm always worried about my hair being different lengths and how to check it. You're absolutely my hair crush!!!!!
I LOVE the sass in this vid!!! (:
for some reason its easy to think you just woke up with all this gorgeous hair. but your other length checks are so helpful to show you started at the bottom just like all of us natural girls did. and that is so inspirational!!!
i'm currently where you were in your 2nd length check
I shaved my hair July 8 2017. By July 8 2022 I am determined to be at this level!!!
Thank you for posting this hair length update, I am AMAZED at the difference in your hair length from your first length post back in 2010 to today 2013.

You're too awesome. Everything you share with us; your hair, your daily life, your beautiful family. Just pure awesomeness.
Your hair is soooo gorgeous!
Is it weird that I've watched this video maybe more than 10 times???..... OBSESSED with your hair. It's so BEAUTIFUL! Definitely my inspiration.
I like this video. Can you please do an updated video on how to grow natural hair long....also explain how lonf yor hair should be after 1 and 2 years
I know I'm not her, but your hair should grow roughly 6 inches a year. It should grow a half an inch a month with proper maintenance and care. She has a video for transitioners and healthy hair care.

Hipgurl90 true, videos do help a lot...do you have any videos..
Bliss No I don't :/. I don't have a camera or a good laptop. I would love to document my hair journey.

My hair inspiration
Three more years...three...more...years...
Thank you for being such an amazing natural hair inspiration!!
My hair used to be this length when I was about 8 and the. It started cutting out from going to swimming and now it's a fresh start for me and I'm only 12 😏
Love it! Everytime I feel lazy about my hair, I watch one of your videos and it kicks my butt back on track!
How did she do this in just 4 years???
She basically took care of her hair enough to retain more length than she lost...She minimized breakage and kept her hair healthy.
my hair grows 3/4 inch every month so thats 9 inches a year, do you take hair growth vitamins, inversion method?
crazymusicgrl *being nosey* I don't but I will now lol what do you use??
*****
For the inversion method I use coconut oil or olive oil, for vitamins I take applied nutrition hair and nails and sometimes iron supplements.
crazymusicgrl I love your hair and I'm going to try the products u mentioned.
absolutely beautiful! i'm on 3.5 years. love my hair. You and Alicia James give me so much to look forward to. love, love, love!

I am always so amazed by how beautiful hair is and how well it grows! I cant wait for my hair to be that long! I have been natural now for two and half years and cant wait to hit the four year mark and beyond!
yassssssss! I've followed you my whole journey ! I'm coming up on 4 years . thanks for everything 😊
wow! Such an inspiration!!! I remember following your channel since 2009. Congrats on all of your progress. What a beautiful head of hair!!! :)
I thought I was watching a commercial with the first part lol. I love your length checks, they are my guilty pleasure!
Thanks for the video! You show women that patience and taking great care of your hair is key and that we can grow hair longer than those who paid $400 for a couple of 24" bundles. Oh and don't straighten your hair, especially not for anyone but yourself.
oh and btw just make one every year as you have been doing. i really do enjoy these!
as long as you are making vids i would love yearly updates!
What I appreciate about your length check is your hair is not all one same length and it's ok
I'm sure this is the most watched length check video this week..LOL. Your hair is so beautiful. I am always amazed too at just how simple your regimen is.
Gorgeous!! Natural hair is the best.. Shes been growing her natural hair since about 2009 for those who wanted to know.. Some of her old videos are still up!
You know we LOVE it! the music, the hair, the flipping of the hair, OH MY!
I'm so jealous of how you whip that hair around!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! show that hair off! It's beautiful. You're so inspiring. Your channel gives me life. Thanks!
One day, Lord! Whitney your hair is amazing! Every time I watch one of your vids and my husband comes in, he even talks about how beautiful your hair is!
You were working it Whit! Great growth, your journey is so inspirational!
How many years have you been natural again? You're my inspiration. After about 13 months without relaxing, transitioning for 10 months and 3 months or so after my big chop, I have 5 and a half to six inches of natural hair. One day, one day......
you're my hair inspiration! reached bra strap length this year can't wait to get to your length
Seeing your first length check video and seeing this gives me hope for my own hair. :) thank you so much for all of your videos, Whitney. You're great!
If my natural hair could look like yours I'd start my transition right now! Very beautiful and so healthy looking.
That is absolutely AMAZING! I would love to see you straighten but I can't blame you for not doing it.
Girl you are really feeling yourself in this video! yasssssssss!!! I live for this hair and the smEYEzing!
Wow Whit! Been here since the beginning. Can't believe it's grown this long! Go you!
Personally, I'm mixed. Very mixed. My hair is the longest its ever been in my life. I've had many set backs and made MANY mistakes that resulted in me having to cut back my ends to keep it healthy, but I'm getting the hang of it. The most important thing is patience. Don't burn yourself out because your hair isn't a certain length in a certain amount of time. You are all individuals and you are all different. Love youselves. You are second to no one. We are all beautiful! LOVE YOU!
I saw Beyonce showing her lovely hair on Insta today. I said lemme come and check the OG. I've always loved this vid. 🥰🥰
Great job with your hair Whitney! you are so gorgeous! Thanks for teaching us all to care for, love, style and grow our natural hair!
OMG!!! Love your hair Whitney!!! Absolutely beautiful and Inspirational!!! I love how at the end of the video you had a time line journal of length checks and varying hair styles thorughout your journey. :)
I love how your rock your hair textured all the time. It's so beautiful.
Wow that is crazy growth! I remember watching your vids when your hair was much much shorter. Keep up the good work!!
Hi...I would just like to say your hair has made GREAT progress and it is gorgeous!! you are looking really healthy too...your skin is glowing!!
OMG! Your hair has grown so much since I started following your channel. Love your videos. . .Nap.
