How to REALLY Retain Length on Fine Natural Hair

[@devilmecare]

I love you say retain length. So tired of how to grow your hair longer. If it's breaking off that doesn't mean it's not growing.

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

These tips are solid and sooo LEGIT! I've definitely been guilty of washing my hair way too often and trying out too many hairstyles. You're so right that manipulation is the biggest cause of hair breakage! Excellent video, Michelle!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Thx! I still struggle with styling sometimes….more so I’m the summer

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith Yes! Styling is my biggest struggle right now because I like to look good all the time, lol! I know twists work the best for natural hair but they just don't look that great on me and my fine hair type... the struggle continues but I know there's a way...

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

@@FineNaturalHairROCKS you have to pin them up. Not the cutest but definitely helps with length retention

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith You're so right! I know you don't wear additional hair/fake hair but what do you think about twists with extensions for hair growth? I have a feeling its probably not as good as twists without extensions...

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

@@FineNaturalHairROCKS I honestly don’t like any added hair. The texture against my own hair..dry central

HIH (hand in hair) is an obsession of mine!🤦🏾‍♀️ Great tips! Beautiful retention🌿

[@Michelle-Smith]

Lol I can relate. Thank you

[@ElegantPaws01]

Agreed. I realized that when I got in the shower and washed every week that my shampoo INSTANTLY sudsing. Meaning not in need of shampoo. So I decided to wash every two weeks. Game changer. Along with leave in teas (Ayurvedic) and leave ins....retention became obvious and hair became more resilient. Happy Christmas to you and yours. Chloe is adorable.

Great to see you sis. I thought about you and another influencer the other day when y’all had the subway shooting. I prayed for both of you and your families, just so glad to see that all is well. Thanks for the info on length retention. Happy Easter, God bless!!!👍🏽💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️

Thank you so much. The devil knows his time is near. In other news,I go no where near Brooklyn and thank God I no longer have to take public traNsportation

🤣 After you talked about the bugs (which I HATE 👀) WHY did I jump and literally holler when your dog moved? I didn't even notice the dog until she moved!

[@Peaceandcrosses89]

Thanks for the tips, I'll try these and see how it goes. I'm also stuck at armpit length despite doing everything "right" but I'm doing the same over manipulation practices you mentioned

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

It’s so hard when you like to play in your hair! That’s one thing I do like about putting in braids. It’s no fun to play in

[@shaybella20]

Sigh I’m so glad I came across this video!! I just recently got my fine hair trim and hair pressed out and noticed I’m stuck at an inch close to armpit length I’m so ready to get more inches lol! I was going to lose hope but this was so informative.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Hey glad you found it helpful! I’m going to flat iron and trim mine next month. It’s been 5 years since I’ve straightened!

[@rinawallace1962]

👍👍👍 On point with your last video!!! These points resonate with me and I am taking them to heart! Two questions about your hair maintenance; are you trimming your own hair and will you consider an updated video on trimming your hair? Happy Easter to you, TJ and your hubby!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Yep I trim it myself. Not professional at all lol but I will share when I do it again

[@ylstaggs]

Very good tips! My hair is still long, but I have to get my hair back on track, because my hair came out in clumps, not too bad through!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

oh no. why did that happen? do you know?

[@roseoliver7179]

Thank you for sharing this information on the hair very helpful thank you so much I really appreciate it I have been natural for 3year now

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

you're welcome. thanks for watching! 3 years is an accomplishment. some people quit when they can't quite get the styling right

[@sable7114]

Happy Hair Styling tomorrow and happy Easter!🐣🐥🐇🐰

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

thank you!

[@garifunamelenroots]

For my when I moisturizer my hair more often grown lot but when I leave out touched start broken

[@moni9192]

I would like to wash less but my scalp screams at me often by day 4. I go to boot camp 6 days a week and live in the deep South so my head sweats a lot! That sweat that sits there makes it burn. But I do think I detangle too much! My problem is the roots to tangle again. Trying to find a better way!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Well yeah if your sweating a lot by all means wash but you can wash your scalp in braids so you don’t have to over manipulate your hair too much

[@rinawallace1962]

Thank you, Michelle. I will be on the lookout!

[@astr0_ki194]

Really enjoying your tips! It's hard to find natural haired youtubers. I have fine high porosity hair and am struggling to retain length. I bought a revair and am thinking of stretching it with it once a week. Do you think that will cause me hair damage? I would really appreciate your advice! Thanks again!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Hey, as gentle as it is I wouldn’t use RevAir once a week. I use mine once a month. You don’t want to overmanipulate .

[@astr0_ki194]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith Okay, thanks so much for the advice!

[@mariamsadiq1524]

Thank you for the information

[@deborahbonner476]

Um going to have to get use to this not washing often..we will see if this works...need more length

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Just wash when needed. I just think we are so conditioned to th8nk we have to wash weekly and lots of times we don’t even need it

[@marianb2530]

TFS...Beautiful hairstyles!

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Hi thank you 🙏🏾

[@kimmie_kimm_kimm]

There are too many rules for our hair, it’s sad that you can’t touch or style it often. Hair that looks wool has to be treated like silk. I am over all the rules.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

It is what it is. Some things work for some and others for it here. That’s why a lot of info is provided so people can choose and figure out what works for them: it isnt necessarily about rules

[@kimmie_kimm_kimm]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith I hear the same thing over and over. Like I said I’m over the ‘don’t touch’ ‘protect’ ‘put your hair away’ I like touching my hair and I know guys like touching hair too. And I also like having the wind blow thru it. And it is ‘rules’ when you are told not do something it’s rules or an command.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

@@kimmie_kimm_kimm then do you. why do you feel the need to explain yourself???? People find the tips useful. if you don't, then keep it pushing' no need to defend your stance

[@KimKim_in_Cali]

@@FineNaturalHairandFaith what I said was everyone says the same thing and it’s disappointing. Being told to twist up, bun up, tuck away its like “are we pirates?”

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

@@KimKim_in_Cali I understand your frustration but remember some of these “elementary” tactics work for those who are very new to natural hair. I have many videos on length retention that go beyond just pinning your hair up. For example I talk about double sealing your ends - something I’ve not seen anybody else talk about and I found it works for me. My hair is much longer than in this video now
