WAIST LENGTH REGIMEN - how to reach waist length (REAL INFO)

[@purplegal05]

One thing I noticed is that the people I see with waist length hair have medium to thick density hair. I have yet to see a fine haired natural have waist length hair. Everything breaks my fine hair off. even when I am super gentle. I don’t any room for error like those with thicker hair do

[@Kyrabri]

I think mine is very fine too. It’s soo beautiful when moistured but it breaks easily

[@BluDrop5]

Have you tried using fenugreek/aloe water as a spray three times a week? It helps develop more volume.

I got waist length hair, by putting it in box braids without adding any weave hair. I did this for 3 years, and Ba BAM! 😂 I'm serious yall! I know this routine is over simplified but it worked for me... 🤷🏾‍♀ Use this style with GreenBeauty tips, and your welcome! 👏🏾

[@tantig5923]

The truth is for most of us 4c-z ladies this will be a 3 to 4 year journey and maybe more. Our hair grows, but a big chop, to healthy, to waist length, doesn’t happen in a year. Heathy hair will grow. It takes time for us. Don’t give up hope. Stay consistent if this is your desire to have “ lady Godiva” length hair. Your determination will be your own reward. Peace ❤

[@cathyfreeman8608]

Very well said. I must share for anyone who can use it. When I transitioned to natural, I never did a big chop. My hair has always been past the shoulders. On wash day, I continued to do roller sets, just like with perm. I clipped my ends gradually, maybe every 2 months. Hair is completely natural now and growing very nicely. I stay away from direct heat. Occasionally I will use a hooded dryer. I am 4 years natural and enjoying learning how to handle my natural hair from my you tube sisters. I won't say it has been an easy journey but it is very rewarding. I will never go back to the creamy crack! Have a great day.

[@tantig5923]

@@cathyfreeman8608 Thank you! I appreciate your compliment. I am so happy to hear of your journey and how your transition has worked so well for you. I am natural, now, but I won’t lie when I say I loved creamy crack. The only difference is I would always wear a short Jada/Halle Berry length cut. I loved my short permed hair. I love my natural hair, but It’s so much work for me. So I do braids. I just love it when my sisters are wearing their hair natural and long❤️ Peace

[@harrison3573]

Nobody grows waist length hair from scratch in a year. Hair grows about 6 inches per year, give or take, no matter the texture. So yeah 3-4 years is a normal time frame. Factor in setbacks, and it might take a little longer though.

[@cindychristian1700]

I'm hoping it won't take that long! Lol😁 But I'm doing my second attempt at a detangling comb out because of neglect! I started, did very well, but stopped. I'm encouraged because of the videos of people successfully combing out their dreadlocks! Then I'm going to do the clove water, with a good grease, a good oil and a good leave in conditioner!

[@Curlyxbella]

@@ladidodi8912 I washed my hair once a week. On day 5 of the mini twists, I would unravel my hair to wear as a twist out -theres no buildup since washing weekly, minimal heavy products, and oiling scalp 1-2 days in twists. I pre shampoo and shampoo twice in only 6 parts/large twists due to my hair attempting to LOC up😭 hope this helps♥️

[@Curlyxbella]

@@Laura-sg6ss Yes- I was so surprised! I’ve been trying to retain length with wash-and-gos for months. Mini twists honestly weren’t my thing.. so I never tried it until I watched her length retention video. I instantly noticed my edges are fuller/darker and my hair grew approx 1inch after wash day. I herbal treatment oiled my scalp 1-2 days while in the mini twists and used hair virgin fertilizer sporadically. I also used her diy flaxseed gel recipe to lay edges and frizz throughout the week🤍

Forgetting about length and enjoying your hair at it’s current stage is the best thing you can do for your hair. Especially if you want length retention. Plus some of us have more shrinkage than others (Before anyone starts telling how ‘real’ it is, I LOVE my shrinkage as much as every other healthy part of my body. We good over here👌🏾). My tailbone length hair shrinks to just below my shoulders. Seeing my length isn’t really a priority for me because I know how much manipulation will have to take place for me to see it. I’d rather enjoy my volume over my length. So styles that showcase my volume always works best for me. And of course headwraps. Those will always be a staple 😉

[@kiwij7705]

Im close to waist length and I find that using heat to stretch my hair and washing once a month (I have low sebum production) has helped me retain length in a way that is more visible to me now. and it’s easier to see where I need to trim. Before I would try to do wash and gos and braid outs and I didn’t feel my hair thriving like it is now. I think stretching my hair with heat made a huge difference but now I know how to recover my hair with treatments and take breaks in between so i don’t overwhelm my strands. I can’t believe i was afraid of heat for so long

[@Melissa-ly6jx]

Hi! Do you deep condition your hair once a month?

[@kiwij7705]

Yes ! I do all the treatments my hair may need when I wash. Also I keep my hair moisturized while blown out with cream and light oil

[@YourfavBecca]

Please what did you use to stretch your hair? A blow dryer?

[@kiwij7705]

@yourfavbecca yes. I use the revlon paddle brush dryer. But I recently bought the new Revair and I love it! Way less damaging to the ends and very little heat. You can even stretch the hair without heat. It’s a great investment if you can purchase it. If not then the revlon brush is good too but I wouldn’t use it as often and take breaks in between to avoid damage.

I’ve been stretching more than I have in all the years previous. My hair is sooo much happier for it. Now I’m mid back length, and with this change I expect I’ll be waist length in two years. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I just wished over favorite KZbinrs would tell us the time all of this work took and keep saying it. I have been natural for ten years and I’m at mid back. It’s possible for all of us even with the simplest routines. But there are girls struggling to grow their hair and they think something is wrong but it’s really just TIME. Yea length retention and all that stuff but time is a huge factor. No one did this overnight and we have ALL had setbacks. I think if these types of videos were followed by the setbacks and how stressful it all was there would be less issues in our natural hair community. Anyways. I love green beauty. I have followed her for many years but she makes it look to easy, “just scoop and spread”, which made me feel like something was wrong with me in the beginning of my journey as I have never seen a drop of sebum, lol Green beauty is a scientist in my opinion so the respect is there.

Congrats on reaching your hair goal! I would love it if you could address scalp issues such as smelly scalp. I have to wash my hair every 7-10 days or so because by Day 4-5 after my wash my scalp develops an embarasing sour smell (that I know other near me can get a whiff of), without necessarily having any major build up. Washing once a month right now is a dream for me. I am mid-length stage. I have tried everything from Witch Hazel, to masking with essential oils, salicylic acid shampoo occasionally. My scalp just wants that water and shampoo.

[@savannahsimon5440]

Washing your hair weekly is a good thing! You’re cleansing your scalp and conditioning your strands on a regular basis, just like we have to cleanse and lotion our bodies. Scalp is still skin and maybe you sweat more than some. You could also see a doctor/dermatologist, it could be an underlying health issue that no one o the internet can diagnose or treat for you. There is a black dermatologist directory that could help you find someone

[@misselle1430]

Have you tried diet changes?? Might be what you eat is coming through your pores there. Also hydration ?? And try eliminating using the shampoos and conditioner too much by perhaps only water washing in between or just condish in-between and eventually your hair might adjust accordingly.

So right now, I’ve taken out my twists and now wearing my hair in a high bun. Since I have breakage in my crown, that I’m trying to grow out, I’m wondering if I’m on the right track by wearing my hair in a high bun, or should I try wearing low bun styles instead. I’m also, moisturizing my crown section twice a day, and trimming this section more frequently and making sure the style is loose. My thoughts were, since I’m in a desert climate and the sun hits the crown area 1st, wearing my hair in a high bun will reduce any direct sunlight and dryness my hair would receive, as opposed to wearing it in a low bun. If I wear a low bun then my crown is exposed, unless I wear a hat, but I’m not really a fan of hats. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! 🙏🏾🤗

Can the natural weathering of the hair be prevented ? Even if you retain length, the ends go into a pointy tip, how come it doesn’t stay thick from ends to root? (I know the ends are the oldest part of the hair, but is there any routine that can keep them as thick as the roots??)

You really know your hair and are able to crack the code of it. Me not so much. My hair is breaking extremely right now on my right side because I did a lye texture with mizani butter blend 6 months ago. Because I have hard water it has ruined my hair. Since I moved to a poor neighborhood where the water is complete trash, my hair has been ravaged. I didn't catch on to why my hair was being trashed until it was too late. Now I know what was causing my hair to be trashed and I can pick up the pieces from here. I have new natural roots to start off with. I refuse to cut off the breaking hair trim yes but cut no. I'm holding on to every strand with white knuckles, I've worked so hard and waited SOOOOOOOOOOOO long to have hair past the tops of my shoulders. I have discovered the right conditioner and how to strip the gross disgusting mineral buildup on my hair from my tap. So I start from here 2023 AGAIN starting over. Not doing a big chop, just starting fresh.

Many think that because their hair take longer to dry after washing it, then it is low porosity. But that comes from all the products we put on our hair to keep in from drying out.

I believe she did a serie on that but it was a while ago. You can research it on her channel.

[@breenicole4205]

@@zouky4life okay thank you for that info.

She has an entire channel with hundreds of videos. She isn’t new to creating videos. Use the search bar ‘Green beauty Channel + porosity’

I feel like for me, getting past collar bone length is some great mystery that I don't know how to achieve. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, so shampooing often is the only way I know to keep my scalp clean 😮‍💨. Any advice?

[@1GoldenBreeze]

If you use a medicated shampoo, don't pull the suds through the length of your hair. Shampoo the length with a moisturizing shampoo. I have an oily scalp so I shampoo every 4 - 5 days and my hair is about an inch from tailbone length. So it isn't necessarily the frequent shampooing that keeps you from retaining length. Check out Latoya Ebony's channel. She is a 4c girl with seborrheic dermatitis and her hair is long. Maybe you can pick up some tips to help you out.

Can you do a tutorial on mini twist on your heat stretched hair? I have a hard time with my twist unraveling. I’m not sure if I should add a little product. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into these videos!

[@NajimaMuslimah]

Love the tips ! Going to try these .. dealing with tangles and hair getting super dry lately. May you tell us where you got your black hair comb clip??

[@TheCityDweller1]

It might be a Puff Cuff. Black-owned company. I have one, love it

[@IndigoCosmic]

I love how you explain everything in this video, which makes so much sense.

[@samsimpson4448]

I always love your videos. Thank you for the amount of details and the time you take to make such informative and visually appealing

[@helenlucka]

I don’t think your hair is waist length… it looks more towards Tail Bone length though, to me (hip length?)

[@eybaps9177]

Yeah it is definitely headed to tailbone if not already 🧡

[@deatricewinston1270]

Thank you, Green Beauty, this video series has been very helpful to me. Congratulations on reaching Waist length! 🎉

I ordered the Real Protein Treatment yesterday and I can't wait to try it out!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Would you recommend scooping and spreading for people who work out and sweat a lot in their scalps? I feel like after two sweats it’s time for a wash.

[@ladyd8028]

You can always just rinse your scalp & hair, then sebum spread and twist. Experiment! Find what works best for you & your lifestyle. 😇

[@GreenBeauty]

Scooping and spread is especially beneficial for those who work out. Sweat mixes with sebum to creat something called an acid mantle. And Acid mantle is even more protective to our skin and hair than just sebum. Right after working out, scoop and spread your hair. Do it every day you work out. You hair will look 🔥 after just one week.

I am interested in a wash day video with your hair at waist length. It looks like your hair was in twist and the twist were in two buns. Do you take the buns out when you rinse? Do you always keep your hair in those same sectioned twists?

Hey Nikki, i usually avoid heat but because of you and your heat regimen i'm seriously considering it again. Please what are your thoughts on the popular reverse- air dryer ? Have you used it before ?

[@aminaibrahim5304]

Great video.pls I have a question, should I wash my hair with a conditioner or a shampoo after hot oil treatment?pls your response is needed.as always thanks for sharing see you in the next video.

[@stephp8709]

Would you suggest using revhair in replacement of your dryer?

[@ladyneal8145]

My hair has been locd for 7 years and I started with my hair short. I have snipped a few weak spots but over all it is a little past bra strap when wet or stretched. The less I do to it the better. Messing with steam treatments gave me some limp spots

Hello ! What would help is you actually showing your own hair - what you actually do to your own hair from start to finish would help more. We don’t really see much of your hair. Thanks.

[@Krayne427]

Do you have advice for women who work out and can't wash their hair once a month due to the sweat and smell. I can't seem to find not one video on this. For women who work out and a hair care regimen. I wash my hair bi weekly but my hair as well does its best blown out and stretched but I can't keep it that way.

[@denyshadials5702]

I workout and swim during the summer. I wash my hair as often as I need-sometimes daily. I style with leave ins, custards and sometimes mousse because they apply easily and dry quickly. For protective styles, bubble braids wash easily look great they frizzier they get, just keep the rubber bands nice and loose. Some like wearing twists and braids as well, but mine can’t last more than 2 washes.

[@GreenBeauty]

Hey 👋🏾, the sweat that comes out your scalp should not have an odor unless there’s a pH imbalance in your body. Try adding more raw greens to your diet and keep sugar and oily food down to a super small minimum. Also, you may be noticing a scent on your scalp b/c bacteria from the air is sticking to the buildup on your scalp. So, instead of washing your hair after every workout … scoop and spread after every workout. Your sebum will spread a lot faster b/c you work out and you hair will look bomb. The goal is to never let sebum and sweat build up on your scalp.

[@Krayne427]

@@GreenBeauty I'll try the scoop method after workouts and see how that goes. Thank you ❤️ ✨️

[@BluDrop5]

On a non-wash day week, try spraying it with an apple cider vinegar/water mixture (1 to 3) while in a protective style (e.g. twists, plaits), let it sit for 30 minutes, and rinse it out with water. You may have a fungus on your scalp.

[@leenazahir7519]
