GROW NATURAL HAIR WITHOUT PROTECTIVE STYLING!

[@becky.d]

1. Make a routine for washing hair 2. Leave your hair alone, but take care of it (listen to what it needs) 3. Deep condition your hair (hydrating/protein) 4. Massage your scalp 5. Stay away from heat 6. Find the correct detangling tool 7. Wear a bonnet / Have a silk pillowcase 8. Always have your hair moisturizing 9. Don't detangle your hair when its dry

[@jessicadutse4337]

I agree with you totally. I think protective styles with extensions are a scam. Firstly, genetics is an important factor for fast growing hair, getting healthy with minimal effort. Quick story: when I was college, I knew a girl who never wore weaves or wigs or extensions, everyone commented on how she was maltreating her hair. I wondered if her hair would ever retain length. Surprise, surprise it did. Here’s what she did: pineapple updos and buns. She combed with a wide tooth comb anyways, everyday before classes. We, her friends, with our weaves and all the stress, we had less length. My point: sure, hair grows with protective styling, but once you take it off, and it comes in contact with “the elements”, there is still going to be breakage. Hair breakage is a symptom, it’s better to find the cause and treat it. Scientifically, you are supposed to loose 50 to a 100 hairs per day. People see a few strands after coming and go crazy. Though, there is a big difference between breakage and excessive hair shedding. If hair is not allowed to acclimate, how will it endure when it is out of protective styling? I understand changing hairstyles to get a new look. Due to the richness of our hair heritage and history, we are blessed with the option of changing hairstyles. Being with a just one hairstyle gets boring anyways. However, I’m getting fed up with natural-hair-journey KZbinrs telling black women to hide their hair with bone straight extensions and whatnot. I understand adding Afro extensions to your hair, extensions with the same texture as your hair. I don’t understand covering up your hair with wigs and calling it protective styling. Black hair can grow without extensions. Let’s call a spade a spade. I have seen some African-American celebrities in Hollywood with long bra-length and waist-length hair, they would never let out. I’m not going to say I don’t understand the pressure. As a black woman, I do. Your hair is short to let out, big deal! Miss Universe 2020 had a tapered cut, and she won. For 4 months now, I haven’t done any protective styling on my awkward length hair (which is just short, not awkward), it’s still growing. (I tell the difference by making a single twist-out and comparing the length to what it was the previous month. I just spray my hair with water, add a DIY leave in conditioner and a little gel for hold (for when the hair is straightened), make 3 cornrow or Bantu knots and go to bed. The next day, I just do an updo with a band and a scarf and go to work. It may seem stressful, but it’s worth it. Wearing my crown as is. I get shrinkage too, I solve that by using coconut serum and aloe Vera gel, blowing it out, especially when I’m too tired to make bedtime cornrows. It was very difficult for me to leave my hair out before, I was always self conscious. Lastly, If you can make a bun, an updo, twist-outs with you hair, it’s already a protective style, without depriving your hair of care. All these styles help you avoid over-manipulation. We keep bending towards Caucasian hair beauty standards, forcing our hair to be straight so we can have flowy hair. Black hair or African hair is what it is. It has its own standard and I dare to say, science. We have to accept that.

[@lonalis4224]

Also when you use products that enhances your tight curl texture the hair flourishes afro hair needs moisture that's why when we use to have jeri curls and cover the hair with a plastic cap it would flourish.

I love your video. I'm done with these so-called protective styles! It's time-consuming and money-wasting. Afro hair is easy to look after, and I've learnt that now. Our hair loves moisture which consists of spritzing with water every day, leave-in conditioner and every two to three days oil the scalp and hair. Pre-poo with good oils for an hour and wash it out. Style: High puff, and you're good to go, ladies ❤❤❤ I know it takes time for many women to get to this level but trust me, we have to accept our hair for what it is and love and embrace our texture. Once we do this, our hair will definitely grow. All of you are beautiful and wonderful in every single way ❤️❤️❤️

[@JessicaMariah]

I only protective style due to working out all of the time and the demands of my job 😭. I would love to wear my natural hair out more often but it's not that easy unfortunately. I've seen growth both with and without protective styling, so I would agree and say that it just depends on the person! It's just really important to moisturize regardless of what you prefer!

I too can't wear 'protective' styles. Don't get me wrong I have in the past and that's only because I couldn't be bothered to spend the time and my hair wasn't playing ball! I have never worn a protective style to grow or protect it. I also deep condition on a weekly basis. I never used to but one day I thought I'd see if it made any difference and when I saw it did, that was the start of it for me. I don't go a week without doing it now and my hair appreciates it! I moisturise then do 4-5 braids on each side. Always sleep with a satin bonnet. I've noticed just by braiding my hair every night has grown my hair. My mum used to apply olive oil and then braid it and this allowed my hair to grow really long. By the age of 10, my hair was down to just above my bottom! So that's the reason I now braid it every night and I'm seeing the difference its having. I think if you look after it and give it what it needs then it will thank you 😊. You've given so many good tips here! Thanks for sharing 😘. Sending you hugs and kisses from London UK 🇬🇧😘

I’m paying money for hairstylists to do my hair and feel bad afterwards. Something that bothers me so much is when they braid my hair and a strand of my hair gets in the braid and sometimes they pull it out and it breaks or leave it then that strand that cut in the braids breaks. No I have that strand of hair sticking and it doesn’t blend when you do a slick ponytail.

I normally do braids and leave it in for a period of 2 months and whether I try to moisturise my hair in the braids or not I lose alot of hair... my ends thin out ... my hair volume is alot less.. because of the thinning ends I normally have to cut it off hence losing alot of length .... I realise that when I did my big chop and my hair was to short to take protective styles with extensions, it grew better ... so I am going on a 6 month journey to test that theory ... wish me luck guys ...

When I was watching your video about the Deep Conditioning types I wrote down "Hydrating conditioner and protein deep conditioner" I think I need to use both? because its falling out every time I brush. Also, I don't know much about hair and I don't really know how to style so I will use your method. Thanks for giving me hope sis! I can tell by my roots I got some good ol' 4C growing from my roots. What should I do about deep conditioning? Btw, also thanks for telling me about the Cream of Nature Shampoo i'm going to pick a few things up ASAP. One more question though.. Sorry!

So adorable! Thanks for the tips mama! Sometimes our hair produces too much sebum and can cause folliculitis- so going in with a clarifying detox and even a protein treatment definitely can help. Alsooo seal your ends- breezeway is a really good humectant and emollient that can help seal in moisture for the ends-- I’m just learning to relearn and now I’m cutting out extension protective styles because of scalp conditions….sometimes we just need to ask our crown to forgive our lack of knowledge 🌻🥰

OMG i had the same thing happen to me with a sew in i think it lasted 2 days and i just took it out. Your hair is my goal so think and healthy. what do you use to stop it from breakage?

[@JasmineHillCarter]

Girl I wasn’t about to watch this video at girl because I was like is she gonna be talking the whole time but nah you definitely educated me! I’ve been natural but all I wear are wigs and im starting to wear my natural hair. Just cut it but now im growing the nape back. Im starting to see some issues with my curls from the gel I use I believe.

Sew in was what ruined my hair 😫. So I had to do the big chop again...my hair is now growing well with me doing nothing

[@younyqworld]

I love your natural hair, I don’t think it make mines grow either.

[@JanieJones-lz5yv]

A girl in Target complimented my hair and asked me how I grew it so long and what she should do. She had colored braids. I told her she had to stop doing things to her hair. Just leave it alone. 🤷‍♀️

[@cynthiascott8639]

First time seeing your video. It was like you were talking about my hair. I am also low porosity, and protected styles don't work for me either. Thank you.

I love braids but they break my edges off 😒 ..now I wear my hair out and braids only in summer because I live by the beach and natural hair and going to the beach don't work for me lol

[@BonBonHassan]

Great Video & I committed all of the “Don’t Do’s” …. That’s why my hair is in the worse shape ever! 😞…. But by next year it will look like yours 🤩🫶🏽🎉 Thanks

Why it seemblike a chore to massage that scalp

[@JessicaAvanell]

New subbie here 💕 very informative hun. I’ll def be taking tips 📝

[@wendimartin5168]

I must agree. We gotta listen to our hair and give it what it needs.

[@belisariabrown5220]

I need this. I can't stand protective styles. My scalp is very sensitive. I am so happy that I'm not alone in this. I need to learn how to keep my hands out my hair. That's my biggest problem.

[@pattyrose3926]

New Subb💖!

[@rentalcity21]

good i dont want to wear protective styles. they braid it too tight and my edges break off and i get bumps on my scalp. im also tender headed, it makes my hair itch!!!.

[@LonLon_17]

Could i put castor oil in my hair?

[@Sunnybunnnnnnn]

My problem is mine gets tangled or flat when I lean on things or sleep so I have to comb it and it rips it out sadly. I'm trying to learn to take care of it because I don't have anyone else to do it and I'm 17. I don't know how to braid and my hair is short already, I don't know what to do with it

[@wholenewszn]

I'm a guy, I have a question please, if I put my hair in 4 section puffs, and wash and condition my hair every 2 weeks, is it going to grow?

[@californiadoll6273]

Protective styles aren't Protective! It's literally causing tension to the hair and therefore causing harm to the hair, even if the braids aren't tight.
