I’m sorry every time I see this it upset me. The longest we should go is at least 7 days max.

There’s no such thing as protective style. Please stop promoting this nonsense to black women. Your scalp and hair needs to be washed and it needs to breath. Over time doing this can lead to an overgrowth of Bacteria and fungus, which can lead to hair loss.

This is just plain gross and unsanitary.

I worse thing I did to my hair

I always leave my braids in long and get crazy grow from it. People who have bad diets and don’t eat healthy get all that breakage.

I feel you and I'm with you! I used to leave singles (with extensions) in my hair for up to 3 months, and my stylist would get so mad at me!! I did experience a little dreading, (not too hard to take out with a little patience), but, like yours, my hair thrives and flourishes when I just leave it in braids. Now, for the past five years, I do singles without extensions. I got sick, so I left them in my hair for 6 months before I started taking them down. I was very sick, so I took them down a few at a time, rebraiding them as I went, which took me 3 months to complete. So the last ones I got to had been in for 9 months! And I'm not gon' lie, six to nine months was far too long. It was difficult to take the braids out, and I had some breakage,... but amazing growth! That was three months ago, and now I'm taking them out completely for the winter. I have noticed a little dreading, but the growth has been phenomenal! My hair now stretches all the way down to my waist. I'm glad I discovered your Channel. Your hair is beautiful, gorgeous!

2 months only i feel like i can not detangle my hair.. especially when water get inside them.. with 6 months i think I'll just cut them 😢😢

I just had my braids done literally a day ago and I plan to live it on till 4 months

so people don't know the difference between cornrows and braids, kmt.

I almost cried after my 3 months protective style take down , I thought my hair was damaged , but I realized I gain more than I lost and I’m now on a 5 months growth challenge…thank you

i'm taking my hair down now..lol i was scared my hair was gonna fall out bc of them, but thank you!!

Beautiful hair

My hair will hit 6 months next month this exactly how I got to waist length

I agree. I can wear protective styles for 3 months. The only reason I take them down is because my hair starts looking crazy. A lot of people tell me my hair is going to fall out. It has yet to fall out. Different things work for different people. My hair grows like crazy under a protective style. My shedding is not that much. It is definitely normal. My hair is soft, thick and curly.

Would you say it would be better to do 2 braid in the hair leave it for 6 months & you get less tangles/matting more length retention???!

6 months that is too long

Yea I had my hair 8 months never even washed my head bc of depression I didn’t care so basically 8 months yesterday I had one more cornrow n I just finish detangling it took 2 hours to take one corn down and 3 weeks to pull out depression makes a person really neglect n I neglectedddd

Her hairline 😍👐

I feel my hair be disrespectful too

This video makes me happy because i thought i was the only one that believes hair grows when left alone. Im doing a challenge of keeping my box braids in for 6 months and im in my 4th month now.

I see 10% braids and 90% new growth 😭😭

Gorgeous! What's the song in your background btw? Sounds great. Like an Afrobeat remix to Human Nature? :)

You gone need to wash with shampoo about 8 times this is unhealthy in so many ways . I know a troll gone comment I got time today 💀

If your scalp is itchy what can we do or what does it mean

It's easy for you guys to keep hair for this long i cant because I can't wear wigs and weaves bcoz I go to skool

Great vid, I’m inspired. I’ve only really managed to leave my hair in a style for two weeks without extension hair but I’m going to leave my single plaits in for a month and see how it goes.

I have the same hair but i am a boy

I cant go 2 weeks before redoing my braids under my wigs

Well if that's your only con, here is an excellent detangling method and yes I've used this and it really works on my 4C hair. So now you can wear it for 6 months again....and again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXaooI14e892a5Y Thanks for making this video to see the 6 month new growth 😀 I am currently on my 4 month protective style journey and I'm 2 weeks in.

Youre so beautiful

Loool I’m dead I thought your hair was already out in the first clip 😭😭😭 still cute though 😍

I hate when people just do protective styles and just leave themin for just 2 weeks then take them out like i leave mine in for like5-7 months cause i want that GROWTH.

I went natural last year I had a perm and my hair was breaking baaad so then we moved to atl and there is soo many girls at my school with natural pretty hair so I jus stopped getting perms and watches KZbin for tips and stuff and my hair has been growing and isn't breaking!! It is a little hard to manage but im learning im 15 btw

When she said next time I do it I literally choked 😂

Did your hair grow?

Me at 5 weeks except I have faux locs 😭girl I’m trying

Glad to see this post..enjoy how you engage with us and keep it real..love your naturelle gorg sis!! Keep posting especially and can you post a video on how you keep your hair moisturized and conditioned😊😊

Finally I was wondering where you went sis!! You better stay natural! 😡😃

Very nice

Welcome back sis!!!! 🍾🎉👏🏽♥️

You are funny....I was gonna get a perm but I wont

sounds like high porosity hair,definitely keep it in protective styles as much as possible

Beautiful hair

There was beanstock & jack & Jill beneath all🤩🤩🤩

Just watched ur video fully! Im so jealous girl 😭, I hope I reach at least HALF the length u have in this video by the time I finish my 6 month cornrow leave in 💀💀

I didn't watch ur video fully, but I just had my hair braided in cornrows last night and planned to keep them in until november/december late this year, so in about 5-6 months like u did! I cant waiiittt omggg

Such beautiful cheekbones! Yes, your hair is lovely too. 😍

Yeah. There is an irban legend in jamaica for me. Where no pregnant woman shoild do your hair, and since no one told my mom that the woman was pregnant. I end up losing hair. And now i relaxed it. And I'm growing them

Thick and full great length

I leave mine in for 6 months each time. I spend too much time putting them in to take them down so early. I do a baking soda and dawn dish soap cleanse each month. I also retwist or rebraid when necessary to avoid harsh matting. For moisture, I use cantu leave in conditioner and doo gro hair grease. The new growth is insane each month. It works for me.
