7 Reasons why your hair is NOT growing

[@Bigheadjustice]

BTW: Your hair is always growing but it may seem like its not growing because your not retaining length. BUT because not many people have heard of the phrase “length retention” I just used the idea of your hair “not growing” to make it searchable

[@Dinde3n]

Me immediately took out my slick back as soon as she said that 😭

can you share which shower filter you’d recommend

[@sherb.6340]

I'm very new to the channel and I just realized that I have type 4 hair it's very dry I have an itchy scalp any shampoo and conditioner suggestions

[@glitchmallow]

Me immediately looking through the ingredients of my shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, and curl cream for isopropyl alcohol

Same here!😂 I just looked through all of them.

[@LI8A__noir]

Chicago born and raised. My hair flourished in the cold environment way more than the south. I was also drinking a crap ton of water back then too, so my hair really grew to the middle of my back in one year. It was a definite learning curve when I got to the south 😂 maybe cuz I’m high porosity 3c/4a. My curls love water, a thick moisturizing cream, and oil

[@whatdacurl94]

isopropyl alcohol is typically used as a solvent for other ingredients but that doesn't mean it can't dry out the hair. Alcohol denat is denatured alcohol which can also dry out the hair as it is typically in products that dry quickly.

[@Bigheadjustice]

Thank u for explaining! Pinning this for you all to see!

@@Bigheadjusticehi! i have a question. i’m trying to grow my hair but i have heat damage in some parts of my hair. when you started taking care of and growing out your hair did you get a big chop or not?

"Your diet is horrible" Me: Oh. . . *Puts down my ice cream bucket*

[@JaneNoordpool]

I only use pure castor oil and aloe vera for my natural 4B/4C hair and scalp and it becomes thicker and longer. I also comb my hair 3 times a week, wash it once a month and never use heat. It grows very fast.

[@TrippyHippy8694]

I agree with braids. I have 4c hair and my hair thrives so much with protective styles

[@onepeice01]

you're basically my boss atp, whatever u say i'm doing it lmao

[@Bigheadjustice]

This is too funny😭😂

[@honeybee7197]

You have to trim those tiny hairs separately now . They are probably being missed during routine trims so they keep breaking off.

[@aishanjgirl07]

The ponytails definitely damaged my hair, specifically the front. I’m a straight natural now and that works much better for me. My hair is down to my bra strap.

[@BlackNella]

So… protective styling in fine hair is terribly hard. I try twists and look like I have 10 twists on my head.

[@lilybanda4605]

This is the type of video I was supposed to watch a long time ago when I was wasting my time watching videos that didn't help 😭 God bless you dear❤️

[@angelface333]

this 100% convinced me to invest in hard water filter 💗

[@trinjuwan4422]

I've heard this over & over...I guess I need to do this🤷🏽‍♀️

[@cupidsdesire.]

Thank you for this! I'm someone who eats sweets and junk food a lot (I'm a teen, and i usually go buy sweets or something after school), and i don't drink water often. I also like in the UK, which is usually cold and only hot in the summer. I was already aware that this wasn't good for my hair/myself, and I wasn't getting enough vitamin D because of it, but i didn't think much of it bc i can't change where i live rn. Plus, i do my edges every weekday for skl 😭. But this video has inspired me to try and make a change. Tbh, i not only need to better my diet for my hair but also my health. It'll be kinda hard for me to stop doing my edges bc i have a big forehead, and i prefer to do my edges because of that, and i just prefer to do it - but I'll try to take care of my edges more. I'll also try to watch what i eat more and stop spending so much on junk food - i need to save money anyway 😂😅. I'll also try and drink more water💧because the environment i live in already isn't humid, and i realise that it isn't good for me, especially at my age. I probably have some vitamin deficiencies, but I'll just try to take some multivitamins. Thanks 💗 😊 🫶🏿🫶🏿

Lil correction here: the alcohol is used to clean and give a stable consistency to the product. Not to "moist". Is to give the clean effect and feeling.

I lived in South Florida for a year, and I only needed a little leave in, and my hair was always super curly. My hair loves a tropical climate.

[@Nwakaego_]

Definitely just subscribed because this year 2024, I’m loving my natural 4a-c hair more and will care for it better. Thanks for these tips.❤

[@thesheknowsofficial]

I was someone that blew out my hair before every protective style, I didn’t realize how much damage I was doing my hair… I haven’t done so since March because of your videos and I’m really proud of myself. I really thought I had to do it just to put a style and I was so wrong!

[@luciea7201]

I use aloe vera in lieu of a gel 🥰

[@Bigheadjustice]

Thats a rlly good idea, do u deal with any flaking problems?

[@NalediLeteba]

can l use rosemary and olive oil and coconut oil and cloves is that good for the hair

[@NalediLeteba]

Is that true

[@NalediLeteba]

Because l just mixed the ingredients all of them but l didn't put them in my hair right now

[@NalediLeteba]

They said if you mixed all the ingredients put them for one week and after one week you can use them an make your hair grow is that true

[@Bigheadjustice]

I wouldn’t recommend olive oil because it can cause dandruff problems and i wouldnt use coconut oil on your scalp if you plan on using it there. I personally like jojoba oil + rosemary oil + peppermint oil + grapeseed oil for a scalp oil. And using jojoba oil + grapeseed oil for your hair strands

[@NalediLeteba]

@@Bigheadjustice l use a shampoo it call dermasul it for hair and scalp and the ingredients are aqua ,tea,lauryl sulphate,glycerine,sls,lauramide dear,sodium cocamphoacetate,mphb,msm,menthol,sodium chloride,fragrance,fda approved colours. Can l ask is that good from my hair. Is the shampoo that l use?

[@hind2384]

Hi, I have been on my natural hair journey for years now and i'm still struggling with one thing, my scalp. You didn't mention it, but my family normalized the "snow-like" flaking that we might have with a dry scalp. For me, it came to a point where my scalp literally hurts, I can't describe it but it's not a burning sensation it just hurts. I've seen 2 dermatologists years ago because I had a white flaking spot that reached my forehead (I don't have it anymore). But they said I didn't have any fungus infection, so I don't know. If you or somebody else could help me, I'm starting to loose hope.

[@SayYes2theLord]

Research on KZbin videos of how people use apple cider vinegar with the mother in it diluted with water to clear up all kinds of scalp issues. I use it and it really works!

[@hind2384]

@@SayYes2theLord thank you so much 😭😭💕 I actually did but acv but i bought a very very cheap one (around 60 cents) so it doesnt do anything and I knew why but I didn't want to invest any money in something I wasn't sure would work. Acv with the mother is soooio expensive 🥲 Anyway, thx !

[@torij6080]

You could possibly have seb derm. For that, people recommend taking caprylic acid (I’ve also seen people recommend sulfur and neem oil products). It could also be inflammation, too. Diet and lifestyle changes can help with that.

[@SayYes2theLord]

@@torij6080 That’s a great point.

[@Bigheadjustice]

My brother had a similar problem and it came from not shampooing well enough and using products that irritated his scalp! Im not a doctor so i cant say for sure but make sure none of ur scalp products are what’s irritating your head!

Since gels aren't good what about edge controls??? Do they also break hair

[@Bigheadjustice]

I personally don’t use edge controls too much, maybe once a month. Plus theyre usually alot thicker but if ur ONLY using edge control on ur edges then you should be fine! Just dont use it every single day, it can cause tugging on the hairline

Great tips thank you 🥰💙

I have 3b hair (some 3c pieces in the back and a couple of 3a pieces in the front too) it used to be so long down to my spine during my childhood but ever since I got a big chop in 2017 without my consent behind my back , my mother told my stylists to chop off almost all my hair, even though I was being told only my ends would be cut! I ended up looking like lord Farquad, it’s remained shoulder length due to this situation. Never grown the same ever again ); why do you think this is? Can anyone help me understand? I miss my length so much, sometimes I grieve for it

[@snowangel92100]

My hair was thriving in college. I ate a healthy-ish diet (unfortunately healthier than my diet at home), drank tons of water, and unintentionally exercised. I walked to most of my classes up to a certain point at campus. For example, if my class was within a 20-minute walk from my dorm/ library/ next class, I'd walk because that was about the cycle of the campus buses. I could get there before the bus.

Omg I realized my hair grows a lot in the summer 👀 but I feel like besides obviously humidity it's cause I sweat a lot 😭 and I think it keeps my hair moisturized in a way?

I live in Las Vegas where the climate is extreme; dry scorching in the summer, dry cold in the winter. Along with the hard water. I’m my hair needs hydration every other day! I also shampoo at least once a week with a shampoo formulated for hard water.

[@angelthompson6259]

I liked all these tips except for the one about wearing protective styles, I noticed for me atleast ( I had type 4 hair). My hair get dryer when I wear twists, braids, etc and I think for me because I’m lazy 😂😂😂 I don’t keep those style in for months on end. 3weeks to a month max. I now prefer wigs especially on special occasions. But 95% when I wear my natural hair it grows a lot more I noticed over the years.

[@shelley7596]

Question: does keeping your hair twisted or in braids protect it more than if you keep it natural? Edit: you probably answered this in this video, I just watch your shorts and haven’t watched any videos I apologize.

[@askbre]

I noticed you said in one of your shorts that you hair isn’t as long as it should be bc you don’t wear protective styles *then* you said you don’t wear protective styles bc they would break your hair off. . . So its a lose lose for you?

[@Bigheadjustice]

Im not sure what ur referencing when u say ive said protective hairstyles break my hair off. Unless im saying “back to back protective styles can break your hair off”, im pretty sure i havent stated that

[@magiv4205]

The mother of one of my friends has thick, coily 3a hair. For a long time, my friend was convinced she just didn't inherit the good hair genetics, because her hair would only curl at the ends and droop sadly in the lengths and towards the scalp. It looked like she had no volume at all, and she was actually getting bald spots and pretty bad hair loss. She attributed this to stress and health problems. Her hair was much thicker and coilier when she was younger, and she didn't know what to do. Until she moved back home - and realized that one of the main problems had been the hard water in the city. Now, coupled with a trim, she finally has her beautiful thick black curls back. Her scalp is also much healthier and less prone to greasiness. Her health also improved, but not to the point that I'd argue it's the main reason for the transformation, cause she suffers from chronic issues that aren't going away. So I really think the water change made a huge difference!

[@whitefangOG]

Ah no wonder my hair has always grow fast i take hot shows, never slick back my hair and dispite washing my hair every shower it make my hair so happy and i never use that many products other than little mouse or curl cream, it many not be as curly as it could be but its healthy! I copped my hair last summer because it was a silly sleepover and i decided to do a big chopp and this summer its alr half way down my back! (thankfully i hate having short hair)
