I pre poo with Amla oil, treat my scalp with apple cider vinegar, shampoo and deep condition, moisturize and style (protective/low manipulation). Washday is every two weeks at most. I re moisturize almost every day, sometimes every other day. Since I started using to this regimen consistently for over 8 months, I’ve seen length!!!

Along with a consistent ayurvedic regimen, plaiting (braiding) my hair after moisturising and then wrapping the ends in cling film (saran wrap) before placing in a bun and/or headscarf has really helped me to retain more length - the cling film is a game changer as it stops my ends from moving and intertwining with each other, resulting in a huge reduction in single-strand knots!

( I ask for this particular measurement because I have a decent amount of hair, bra stap length and because of the humidity hello frizz and volume + I do know several ways to tie the wrap up and ceecee's headwraps are pretty much this size ) It's cheaper for me as I live in the Lesser Antilles and gives me a wider range of fabric to choose from since the stores are not specialized in WAX fabric itself.

Started with shoulder length hair and now it's bra strap length. Plus washing and deep conditioning once a week, my own diy oil treatment, minimal heat and low manipulation. 🙂

For me personally, coconut oil and having well moisturized hair were the game changers. I’m not 100% sure why coconut oil reduced my breakage so much, but it did. It’s also important to leave your hair alone. My hair is in long-term protective styles most of the year. When it’s not, I try not to change my hairstyle more than twice a week and opt for buns, crown braids and the occasional wet/dry set curls. Unless I’m experimenting with my hair during which I’ll go crazy lol. There’s a reason I only do that for 1 week at a time out of like 6+ weeks. And I never use heat. Haven’t touched a blow dryer or flat iron since 2019. It’s hard but possible. Just be patient and learn as you go along.

Detangling my 4C hair very carefully is very instrumental in retaining length to my hair. My hair reaches waist length, and I blow dry it with heat and comb on the dryer. If my hair is not smoothed out, it will knot up, and I will have to cut the knot off. I only comb my hair once a day, if that.

Keeping a journal, of when I shampooed when I conditioned when I deep condition if I use him if I didn't use it the products as well changing products they didn't work well in my hair!

Thanks Andrea! 💜

Love your videos 🥰🥰! I did the big chop 13 Mths ago. You are 100% correct on having a regimen/routine is definitely an essential part for healthy hair growth! I prepoo/shampoo/condition (to help detangle) deep condition wkly & refresh/moisturized my hair at least 1x a wk.

[@demi5378]

I'm 13 months natural as well. I started with hair at the top of my eyebrow & now at my bottom lip. I'm pleased with that so far. I do the same routine as yourself...added a couple things ...but following the LCG method..low porosity.

[@ashkeniasims1840]

@@demi5378 ohhh that’s great! What type of products do you use? I’m running out of hairstyles ideas as well... any tips on that? I’m also low porosity, I think I’m medium strand/density. Favorites products I like to use so far (they change very often lol) are the melanin hair care line- leave in conditioner, the styling cream & the pure oil blend. I didn’t think I was going to love the styling cream since I thought it would be for “twisting” hairstyle BUT surprisingly it works great for my wash n go.

[@AllyBear719]

I wash my hair every two weeks, then I deep condition with clay mask which has added Ayurvedic herbs (hibiscus, Amla, shikaikai, & brahmi). Which I follow up with the Ordinary hair serum, aloe, Miele honey hydrate, and a gel and then plait it up. Throughout the week I spray my hair with a fenugreek, rosemary, hibiscus, amla, aloe water mixture to rehydrate. And I have satin pillow cases and only use satin/silk scrunches.

if the anogen phase is typically 3-5 years, how do we know when it starts to begin the timing? When does it reset, because everyone's hair doesnt just fall out when the shit stops growing?

[@juuuu0]

Great video as always girl🥰🥰 I have question .. when you say you moisturize your hair every 2 days, do you do the whole loc method or just applying a daily moisturizer? If you just apply a moisturizer which one do you use and what's your technique? Lots of love from Mozambique❤

[@SimplyNaturalCai]

I looove your videos! Keeping my styling simple and not manipulating my hair a lot has helped me with retention. I also focus on moisturizing and essential oils.

[@lo90o]

Could you do a video on the effect of relaxers on the scalp and if it strong enough to have an impact on one's health ?

Leaving my hair alone my hair gets shampoo once a month. I do ACV and water mixed in a spray bottle between washes. Olive oil. My hair now bra strap. I had a TWA 4 years ago almost 5 now. I don’t use products because so far they all provoke my dermatitis. So I stay away from trends. My scalp is my main concern.

[@rhondaweaver4486]

You asked, so I rarely comb or brush my hair. I'm lucky I can get out of bed, shake it around and go! It was waist length so I donated most of it. It's at my shoulders now. I recently decided to stop highlighting and go natural. We'll see. But I never blow dry. My hairdresser always makes me pull away because it's too hot! I'm giving her up, too. I love loose bedraggled hair so I let my hair do it's own thing. Humid days are a pain so a loose scrunchy bun is my jam! Thanks for asking and this video!!

[@dollyrevenge98]

I'm glad you mentioned length retention. A lot of ladies desperately search for ways to stimulate growth from the scalp when most of the time the problem is breakage. Protective styling/low manipulation has helped with length retention although I was never concerned with having long hair, I'm relaxed and I like pixies, bobs, color and different hairstyles which do not allow for the best length retention. My new goal is long hair though just to see how long I can get it but I just don't know if I can go 3 years without a haircut loool

[@petrinaevadney5655]

Heyy I'm a new follower. Thank you for breaking down the 3 cycles of hair growth and why a consistent hair maintenance regimen is paramount to healthy hair and how healthy hair will eventually lead to longer hair length. Very helpful!! I will be revising my wash day regimen by adding a pre-poo stage. I agree with you about removing products from my hair regimen that no longer enhance the quality and texture of my hair, especially those that dehydrate my hair and leave it looking lack lustre and brittle. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.

My hair grew nicely after I started taking Viviscal supplements. Also only washing once a week and keeping it oiled/moisturized (I like the Holiroots Ayurvedic hair oil). Keep it in a bonnet at night. I thought protein was a bad thing but recently started doing protein treatments as a test and my hair is loving them, it’s breaking noticeably less.

[@iaaeottg21]

I take Viviscal also (on my 5th month). Wash my hair only once per month, oil scalp two times/week, wrap in a plastic cap and bonnet over it every night. I tried the protein treatments, but they don't do a thing for me, so I take protein in shakes or simply with water instead. Also, I moisturize my hair every 4-5 days (water, daily moisture cream, grease to seal it).

I bleached my hair in October 2019...my hair was FRIED...My hair during the pandemic was a nightmare..it fell out..I think it was telogen effluvium..I had bags of hair....I cut it...started using Redken extreme and now I feel like myself again...I oil my ends at night and wrap it up

[@dinaarmymom9145]

🖐I've never had shoulder length hair for various reasons. I am in my late 50's. I have hypothyroidism which makes it more difficult to retain length. I would like you to address those issues if possible and also what are some things I can do at night if you have short hair and I don't want to braid it. I sleep on silk pillowcases and have a silk bonnet. Thanks.

Thank you for doing these videos. They are so helpful. I have 2 questions. How do you know if you're in anaphase? And at what age does anaphase stop?

[@deborahhelm3488]

To retain length on my gray hair, I watched quite a few natural hair care videos showcasing various means on hair care methods. I love Natural Americana because she insisted on showing how to be more gentle on the hiar,. I always pulled on my hair and my scalp hurt but when I stopped doing that I felt so must better. I am now taking more time with my hair also and the health has improved. I started using the product TGIN that the influencer used but didn't like it because I got a lot of flakes. I have decided to use water and oil only, I had coconut oil and used that but decided to use castor oil which I purchased from Sallys Beauty. I will see how it works for the long term but it appears to be making my hair better conditioned.

[@robinsharron]

Can you do a video on pec complex and copolymers and how they work together to retain length, I use Tresemme' split remedy and girl that stuff has totally saved my hair life, and retained my length.

[@KD-pj8ji]

How do you moisturize your hair every two days... do you untwist, moisturize, & retwist every 2 days? Or do you wet it and apply moisturizer over already twisted hair? And 🤔 how often do you think/ recommend someone with 4b/4c (high porosity) should wash their hair... every week, every other week, monthly?

[@crystaljackson240]

Same question here 🤔

[@bslorbust]

When I twist my daughter's hair in twist. I must with water or leave her hair open while she showers. The steam will lightly mist with water. I will then mousturize and seal or just seal with an oil. Her hair grows so much when I do this

[@pamelamccants2877]

When I wear twists, I mist my hair daily or every other day. Sometimes in the shower or I use a spray bottle. Then I use an oil to seal in the moisture but I’m going to use some Blue Magic hair grease(green one) on the ends.

[@KD-pj8ji]

@@pamelamccants2877 when misting with spray bottle... inside the bottle is it just water or water and leave-in conditioner or regular conditioner or aloe vera juice 🤔

[@pamelamccants2877]

@@KD-pj8ji either one is fine but if using only water, apply some oil in the palms of your hands and rub all over your hair. The oil will seal in the moisture.
