Finally, someone is honest. I have never had more length retention than when I started doing nothing to my hair. I do nothing but water daily or, at the very least, every 2 days. I moisture and seal enough on my wash day. So for the week, I just hydrate daily. Sometimes, I make 2 wks. I have been natural since 2016. My hair never touched my shoulders. My bangs didn't grow past my eyebrows because it kept breaking. This past year, since I stopped using a lot of products per other youtubers and left my hair alone, my bangs stretch past my chin. The back stretch past my bra strap. I focus more on hydration instead of moisturizer. I couldn't be happier.

Sister is right!!! Ask any man with shoulder, mid-back or waist length hair what is the secret. Leave it alone: spritz with water every few days, oil the scalp a bit once or twice a week, and massage with finger tips. That is all. Maybe unbraid shampoo/condition, rebraid & cut ends every 2-4weeks. My hair went from shoulder length to top of shoulder blades in 2 months. Be gentle with take downs, and you will be fine!! We, as Black Americans, have been taught to "Fry, dye & slick it to the side!" Well, the results are alopecia, bald spots, and damaged scalps. Why not try something new??

Wow this type of hair is so magical. You can have any length depending on your style so cool

[@ddfelder2]

I MIGHT start branching out and wearing my hair out. I am 6 inches away from having waist length and grew my hair by literally doing nothing. I’m talking no manipulation whatsoever for months on end. I don’t even wear it out. My hair is ALWAYS covered at work and at home. I don’t manipulate it unless I’m finger detangling to prevent matting. This may be controversial but I don’t wash it as often either. I wash it once every 3-4 months (this last stint was longer because I was in hustle mode) and do everything I need to do with it at that time. Then it goes back under cover. Yesterday was the first time I’d straightened my hair 6 months + months. I only did so because I was worried about my hair locking and I’m not ready for that life. I am a bit extreme but it’s working for me. Low to no manipulation works. It simply works.

[@tialynn1111]

That’s amazing!!! Yes it really works- low manipulation, being gentle and a great moisturizing routine 💕

[@Bellz972]

There's something to this😊👍 . Personally my hair grows best in boxbraids. I wash it as needed and moisturize then leave it alone. Low manipulation is key 🗝

[@phedreBiOn]

I think it'd be good to say that I also do very little to my hair, but to its detriment. I hate hair management, so hydration, moisturizing yada, all these things are strangers to me. And much as I want my hair to be down to my booty, and my fro to be out past my shoulders, I've noticed that my hair growth has been stagnant. I've been at about the same spot for almost a year. My hair is always dry dry dry, and I don't cover it when I sleep. Needless to say, my mom showed me how her hair grew about 6 inches or perhaps more in the past couple of moths since she started using these diy treatments, oiling her braided hair every night. Doing a comprehensive wash day routine once a month. And it inspird to attempt consistency at this hair thing again. But I think that's essentially what people mean when they say "I do nothing to my hair". It's not literally nothing, it's just not doing a whole bunch of hairstyles all the time, but still doing maintenance for the hair's health. It might seem obvious, but for us negligent girlies who wonder why our version of doing nothing (literally) to our hair does not yield the same luscious results as those who "do nothing", but actually do something, it's important for us to really note the crucial nuance.

[@YesToLifeAlways]

@@phedreBiOn I noticed hair growth every time I was consistent. Washed and out in a grease or moisturizer. But I was noticing stagnation and breakage. Was frustrated. But my health was suffering. I realised I (again) had low ferritin, iron, Hb, vitamin B12 at 150 (that's low end of normal and needs treatment) and Folate at 10.5 (low end of normal that needs treatment).

Literally when I just left my hair in twist or plaits for several days, my hair grew the most. When you're not constantly manipulating your hair, it will grow. My method is I shampoo my hair, detangle, smooth and twist my hair using water and hair grease. I keep my hair covered with a pretty scarf at home and out in public. I don’t remove the twist until the next wash day, which is usually after a couple of weeks. This routine helps me retain my length and keep my hair healthy. Easy and stress free.

The key to growing long hair It's really about preserving the hair on top of your head by keeping it moisturized! (I use the word preserving because hair is really dead) I'm still trying to find a wash routine that works best for me! I get mixed up though with some ladies washing hair every week and some saying don't wash for up to a month???I do believe low manipulation is the key along with keeping the hair moisturized to prevent that excessive shedding that our hair is prone to since its naturally dry! I have 4 C hair and I'm seeing results in as little as 3 months doing all these things, not to mention I took a break from wearing braids, which for me kinda had me ignoring or not prioritize the hair underneath specially when life gets in the way! Also, taking Vitamin like zinc and iron to help with the shedding! My hair is neck length and looking and feeling healthier than ever, the shedding is much less and therefore I'm on the right path to growing my hair nice and long!!! I'm so happy to see so many black women growing their hair long and really taking pride in it! I'm teaching my 6-year-old daughter to love herself, her black skin and hair and how to better care for it all!

[@HaloHighlightz]

A girl I knew asked how I grew my hair so long. It was relaxed and a bit past shoulder length. I told her I leave it alone and she looked at me like I had two heads because she loved to experiment with her hair. It was always cute but it wasn't the healthiest I knew it could be and I could see a lot of split ends from excessive straightening I guess. I've since stopped relaxing and became a straight natural and leave it in pin curls or wrapped around itself in a bun unless I'm leaving the house. I was almost at waist length and then I got sick and started slacking on my hair care and it's mid back again now after cutting the fried ends. Plan on going longer between straightening and the inversion method in the next few months since summer is when I get the most growth to see how much new growth I can retain by September when it cools down here Edit: I also want to state that if you have thick and/or shoulder length or longer hair, probably shorter, it’s important to detangle your hair frequently to prevent matting. If I don’t leave the house for three weeks, I’ll take my hair down, comb or finger detangle then put it back up once a week. I do it to prevents “dents” when I wrapped and now creases from the alligator clips (my hairs too thick for pin curls clips and it would take too many for small sections 😂) or stress from the scrunching if I I’m doing space buns for curls. I’ve seen it happen multiple times. It grew, but wasn’t being combed so it matted and I helped with the detangle process so I know that they were straight up mats, almost to the point of locing not minor tangles

I currently have boho box braids in for a wedding I attended. Its only been a week but I already miss having my own natural twists, no other protective style does it for me tbh. My hair never grew past midback doing the most and now I have waist length with thick full ends just washing weekly, doing masks and trims only as needed, using aloe based gel and leaving it alone. I wanna see if I can get to butt length before straightening it 😂

[@shannon4811]

I wish I could keep my hair in a bun while I sleep 😔No tension while I sleep, whatso ever !

[@tialynn1111]

Ahh yes, it helps that the style is a braided up bun. (I like to have it a bit loose on the edges to avoid strain)🙏🏽

[@Divi333.]

I don’t understand why sleep with it in a bun when that keeps the hair wound tight, when you could just sleep with it free in a bonnet?

[@tialynn1111]

@@Divi333. you can sleep with it free for sure. I know sometimes I like to keep it in a semi loose bun some days and that allows me to not touch my hair at all. This has helped me retain length too. Either or is ok if the bun is loosely put up

I am the same. I do chunky twist instead.

[@Msleelee9487]

@@tialynn1111 and you dipped the two ends in oil?

[@tialynn1111]

Yes I did - I do this daily or at least every other day I wipe the excess so it’s not dripping. This will keep your hair supple and prevent breakage. When you mark your calendar, you’ll see you will retain at least 5-6inches this year if you do this ✨

[@A_Wilson]

Yes! Braids for the win! 👏 Lovelt hair! I just recently washed my hair in braids for the first time and I’m hooked. But I redo them after they are somewhat dry. My ends were a bit of a chore to unravel, so I’ll have to give them a bit more attention before and after as soon I finish washing them. Thanks for sharing! Btw, are you shooting for a specific length goal? Just curious! 😊🌺

[@tialynn1111]

Yes really oil your ends before washday and make sure they are twisted at the end and you’ll be fine Sometimes I’ll redo my braids, like you after they’ve dried some, but I’m seeing either /or method works!💕

[@tialynn1111]

Goal length will be achieved in 2 years - it is classic length (just below butt area, bottom of butt cheek

I absolutely love this, but my hair is too short to braid. It’s a little curly fro. What are good protective styles to get it to grow so I can start braiding it.

[@OopsieDaisy02]

My hair is also at waist length but I want longer and denser hair throughout. I do regular and mini braid too and they always end up at mid upper back. It’s crazy how much hair can shrink even in braids

I have to blow dry my hair. I have PTSD concerning the musty smell of 2nd day wet hair. As a young girl, I would wash my hair and throw it in a ponytail and it would be stank. Back then I couldn't figure out why. But now, I do wash my hair braided up, but it's a must for me to blow dry to at least 75% dry. I am at lumbar length since shaving in 2019.

I would love to know how you take care of your nails. No matter what I do, my nails always break off.

[@tialynn1111]

Ok I had to cut them all off since this video because I was moving and 2 broke 😫but I do have few videos that show my routine. Key is to: -Not use them as tools -After wash hands, apply lotion or oils to your hands/nails -Don’t frequently polish and remove polish from nails (it weakens the nail) -Keep a weekly routine of filing the edges and ends

2:32 I told my daughters father this when he had our kids for the school year. I said please don’t let anybody braids their hair all the way down to the tips cuz it causes more breaking and knots when you take them down after they wear their hair like that for a long time. He still allowed his cousin to do this. I would have thought that was a good then because it’s less work and the Shirley temples are cuter. Anyway, my kids came back with these very tiny tips in braids and I tried to take them down with safety pin but I just gave up and clipped them. They were gonna need a trim anyway. It pissed me off cuz as the kids mother who has always had long hair and the fact that I grew their hair long why not listen??? These people don’t have no hair so why listen to them🤦🏾‍♀️ just didn’t make sense.
