"Hair Growth Challenge" Pt. 3

[@shahdbatal]

Every time I wanna straighten my hair I watch Alba lol

[@JackieReyes]

Me too! Lol it makes me not want to straighten my hair anymore

[@TrishWillis28]

omg same! I'm like "no, Alba said not to! if she can do it so can you"

[@InTheGlow135]

It's funny that need for straightening actually went away for me. I hate unnatural hair and fussy stuff. Straightening thinned out my hair and damaged it. Now my hair is shiny, curly and beautiful!!

[@genesis3790]

😂😂😂

[@chelsdesign]

just wear a wig girl!

[@ninaj1521]

Thank you for helping me fall in love with my hair again. The funny thing is that most of the people around me LOVE my curly hair over my straight hair. You are amazing! God bless.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

I notice that hair grows much faster when its shorter. Then when you get closer to your hair's genetically determined length, it starts slowing down. that s not to say that hair can't grow longer, it just slows up. my hair sometimes seems like its not growing and then one day I've got 2 or 3 more inches. Maybe much of your hair was in its resting phase during your challenge?

[@TrulyYoursCiera]

Love your hair! I will definitely be joining this challenge! I've been trying to recover from heat damage and I promised myself that I would stay away from heat for at least a year.

[@dianachamomile]

Have always really admired the shine and volume of those curls!! I HAVE to pick up that shea moisturizer because my hair is really long but sooooo dry! Thanks for always sharing your tips on health & beauty. They're my fave by you! n_n x

[@ParisIn85channel]

Three years no heat for me. After transitioning from heat damage my hair is the longest it's ever been.

[@manaarh2505]

I have not straightened my hair since july 2015 and without cutting it since then and only use natural products it did work for me but my hair is still sometimes dry and not easy to work with, but I love my curls getting their shape back 💗

[@YamilkaEstrella]

I have been taking care of my curly hair for over a year now and what a difference!! At the beginning my hair was so damaged and I could barely hold moisture, it was a nightmare to detangle and I just literally hated wash days but let me tell you that time and patience def pay off cause my hair is in a complete different level now, not only my hair is a lot easier to detangle but I can actually finger detangle it, that, a year ago was mission impossible...moisture is another big improvement, I can go for 3 full days with great looking hair that is shiny and looks sometimes even better than the 1st day. And my wash days are so much fun now as I can see my hair is growing long again while curly, how awesome is that?? I can't wait to have long curly hair...so for those who are on the early stages where everything seems so distant and you can't see results, stay there, don't give up and IT WILL HAPPEN.

[@Freedomstyles]

Thanks for sharing and I love your hair :)

[@misssoleil2056]

who else spied Adele in the background? lol

[@gracie8718]

I honestly wish that I am happy with my hair as you are

[@kayrasantos]

You inspire me! Thanks for your tips and encouraging us to accept our natural beauty😍👸💋you rock!!!!

[@creativecomplexity4]

Great tips on growing healthy hair! I haven't cut my hair in a while but you inspired me to give it a nice trim to get rid of the rest of my heat damage! Thank you! ❤️

[@fernandaferrari9924]

Alba has being one of my inspirations to be curly again, the long hair challenge, the combo oil , I use on my hair and has helped me to grow healthily & strong hair. Thank you Alba for all your tips .:) Xxo

[@illegallygorguz]

idk why but my hair actually seems to grow longer whenever I straighten it; which isn't often of course. I love my curls but I did notice that it'd grow a lot longer and faster when straight in the past.

[@OhSheila25]

Have you tried As I Am Coconut Cowash Alba?? My new staple.

[@DestinysLifex]

I need to start making more curly hair videos!

[@MelaneeNecole]

Hair goals! I'm always so tempted to put heat on my hair but this is def motivation. Love you Alba!

[@elephantsremember9605]

have you tried the inversion method?

[@ivanas442]

I would love advice on what to ask for when going to a salon b/c i need to get a trim/cut. (If you can't go to a devachan salon) what if they cut your hair when straightened? Does it make a major difference to how curls look?

[@francescamaria87]

Do Not cut your hair when straightened! It will ruin the shape and look of your hair when you wear it curly

[@MyBloomingLife]

yes, it will make a difference. I went to the hair salon, and got my hair cut in choppy layers (against my will). My hair was disgusting; it's growing out now, but my have was a slanted like with a slope.

[@babygirlshari4223]

is the alba long hair challenge still going on at all? because there are no updates anymore.

[@AshleyChristina101]

I just became fully natural in November!

[@asmrwithkay]

Yayyyy!!! Congrats Hun! XO

[@gomezsa208]

+Ashley Christina Congrats!!!

[@KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

welcome to #TEAMNATURAL Baby!;)

[@AshleyChristina101]

Thank you guys (:

[@ariadnamorenofuentes]

how do you actually style your hair?? can you do a video plis

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

I've done hundreds of those Hun. There's a large selection to chose from on my channel

[@tesscielarouse]

+SunKissAlba Do you wet your hair in the shower every day?

[@ariadnamorenofuentes]

+Tessciela Rouse no she just only wash it once a week

[@ariadnamorenofuentes]

washes*

[@tesscielarouse]

Ariadna Moreno Do you know the video where she said that? Thanks so much

[@missybailey817]

I went 8 months (transitioning, after yrs of relaxers, without trimming my semi thick, waist length hair & began to experiencing thinning of my ends. It became see through basically, because I thought reverting back to my natural state, with suggested products, my hair would become healthy, as well as long, to my frustration. I further researched & learned frequent trims or big chops are a must, or hair loss will occur. Needless to say, I will be getting regular trims for now on.

[@vsharpe10]

+Missy Bailey you're correct I'm glad you did your own research and was in tune with your hair. You have to at least tip your ends every 6-12wks depending on your hair and if you use heat or if they are lil split on the ends . My hair has always been long and ice learned do what works for your hair type.

[@simonedeluxe200588]

I love your "short" volumnious hair much more, it makes you look young, fresh and stylish and your tips look healthier. So I don't think you have to wait for long hair, you already look awesome

[@MzRainy]

Hi Alba, welcome back to NY. Just wanted to know who you go to at Divachan? Also can you do a video on scalp health dealing with dry winter scalp. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. It has helped me a lot in my own personal journey!

[@KelzLife5]

hey +SunKissAlba. what would you recommend if you have dry scalp? what would you do if you had to deal with dry scalp?

[@WannaAhug]

+Kelly Hunter I massage coconut oil and/or olive oil into my scalp and leave it in for 2h or overnight. That usually helps a lot! :)

[@KYESHAKNOWSSKIN]

Use Tropic Isle Lavender Jamaican Black Castor Oil it will change your life!

[@KelzLife5]

thank you ladies

[@mariaplatanos7787]

Omg !! I'm really excited to try out these products you just talked about 😆..Totally going shopping on Friday !!🛍🛍

[@reeceicycle]

You are so beautiful! I am white, but I think your hair tips work for my hair type as well!!

[@naimabk]

Hey Alba! I love your videos and I've been following your healthy hair regimes for a while, but recently I've developed a massive loss of hair. I believe it has to do with my deficiencies in certain vitamins and proteins (iron, vitamin d, etc...). Therefore, my hair looks super damaged, dry, and not as thick as before. Do you have any tips to get it back to it's natural thickness? I am now eating more protein etc...

[@angie739]

Alba, How much hair do you shed every time you wash your hair?

[@lostandfound625]

Hair grows fast when you use a wooden brush. Wooden brushes enhance hair growth and circulation in the scalp

[@MusicalSoul420]

Hey Alba. Do you use any products to"revive" your 2nd or 3rd day hair?

[@yalonmishael]

I love the Shea moisture curl and style milk

[@mulata523]

You are extremely beautiful!!! I just started my journey ! Thanks for encouraging us

[@laurianacenteno1554]

Can you do a video going more into the just naturalhaircare line please

[@Anjeliqka16]

Is there any way you can make a video on how you trim your hair for layers? I have been growing my hair for the past 3 years and it's long, but it is all one length, and has lost its shape. I have been trimming my own hair for 10 yrs now, and I was pleasantly surprised when you said you cut your own hair. I love your layers!

[@hannah9065]

I definitely love my curly hair but I also like to switch things up from time to time. I only straighten my hair every few months, and my hair is still perfectly healthy. Of course using heat often isn't good for your hair, but using heat every now and then is not going to ruin your hair. You can have healthy hair and still heat style it every now and then, using heat protection products and other protective measures.

[@Yaniza]

Pleeeease become a hair doctor so I can come see you and find out what to do about the fact that I have less hair than some of my 3 yr old preschoolers that I teach and I'm only 23... D:

[@MsReadBetweenTheLines]

great tips

[@betty3tes]

Shea Moisture smoothie or the milk curl cream?? Your preference:)

[@mialyjenny9883]

Can you do a lookbook video? I really like your style

[@ohhhhbrianna]

How are you shampooing now with cardio? I just started working out 5 times a week- with 3-4 cycling classes a week, which means I sweat...a lot. I just cant wash my hair every other day when I usually wash it once a week. Thank you for your help

[@griizzy]

its been over two years of no heat for me and I honestly don't see me going back now, after your hair is straighten for the majority of your life its a different feeling to just embrace whatever curl pattern you have.

[@IAmMaruG7]

I have very fine curly hair. I would love to use oils on my hair to style but the slightest hint of oil on it makes it look wet and limp. I don't naturally have much volume, I have to create it myself whether with layers or diffuser and a tiny bit of sprits to keep the volume. what products do you recommend for fine curly hair?

[@mysonruns]

I'm definitely going to pick those shea moisture products to use as a leave in conditioner.

[@kiruthigakuppuswamy3711]

Thanks for this video Alba. I have recently found this shampoo "Dark & Lovely Amla Legend Shampoo" and have fallen in love with it. I have been using the mask and the 3 in 1 shampoo for few month now. Its specially for people with dark hair.

[@nelivettemaldonado110]

Does your hair ever feel oily the day after you apply the oils ? Because I my hair feels extremely oily after and I don't even use that much oil . Also it makes my face really oily so it makes my makeup looks gross .

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

I use the oil before showering and washing my hair so no it doesn't feel oily. If I ever leave in oil I only do so on my ends and back of my hair which is always very dry.

[@nelivettemaldonado110]

+SunKissAlba ok this helps a lot thank you ! 😌

[@AshleyMarieVazquez91]

now that your hair is getting longer, I was wondering if you could do an updated video on how to keep longer, heavier curly hair volumized? You mentioned only getting a trim on certain areas but keeping the length overall? It would be great to know how it was cut! I want to grow my hair out longer but keep up the volume but I never know how to get it cut! :(

[@thenemesisgaming8137]

What products should I use to get healthier hair ? I have her type of hair

[@noraycharly]

Thank you for all of your hair tips. My hair is healthier now thanks to you.

[@rosaduquette6029]

Hi, I know that you did a makeup organizer video awhile ago, what was the name of the company? I need to purchase one. There are so many out there but I remember that I really liked the one you had. Thanks

[@vivianamrita]

hey alba, I've been growing out my damaged hair but I tend to get strands of gray hair. I don't want to use hair dye anymore and I've heard of henna as an alternative. any thoughts?

[@simona__219]

Hey, the days you don't wash your hair and you have a shower do you wet your hair or wear a shower cap.????? Thx

[@ShineLikeSheen]

"Stop texting me" lol.....too funny !!!

[@monaeamber6557]

😂

[@MarriageMotherhood]

I love that curl and style milk for my kids! That detangler is a must have for my hair. Thanks for sharing!

[@goodconsumer5560]

*Argan Life is very good and natural product. Cleans very well, use it with the conditioner so you can moisturize your hair. Give a nice heathy shine.*

[@martincocks1866]

The company of Argan Life is too fast and reliable.

[@MyBloomingLife]

omg I'm laughing

[@MyBloomingLife]

laughing

[@velvet123]

Love that you use just natural product. I love using there products.

[@xochitlpv8849]

I just had to cut my hair 2 weeks ago! It was almost to my waist, pretty much all one length, but it was just too heavy and ugh, I couldn't take it anymore. I figure, I gave it a shot but it's just too much of a hassle for me. It's layered now and I got it thinned out to make it lighter. My hair feels so silky now and my ends don't look like straw anymore. Also, the amount of shampoo and conditioner that it takes to manage long hair is just so much! I'm looking forward to trying out Shea Moisture products next month when I go to CA.

[@tiannashanell4696]

What camera do you use for your videos?! I'm beginning a channel and am in desperate need of a good camera! :)

[@JasminesCuriosityCorner]

Hi sunkissalba, I'm actually transitioning from heat damage to fully natural. So could I still do the challenge I'm only in my 2nd month of transitioning though but I want to do this challenge bc the front of my hair is kind of thin but I want to grow it out and any tips you could give would be very helpful. 😊

[@charitylavey2205]

Hi Alba & everyone! Have you ever used Deva Curl products? whats your take on them?

[@hhoneymilk]

Everyone should embrace what you have :D I haven't cut or dyed my hair in years.. I used to use a hair straightener everyday for years... Now I honestly NEVER use it. I only curl my hair once in a while as my hair is naturally straight. Go hair oils!! I also dye my hair with henna (burgundy from henna hut mixed with coffee and hibiscus tea with rosemary eo.. amazing!!) My hair length is about at my lower back and I can't wait for it to be longer!! Go Alba!! My issue is volume also, but oh my goodness!! Everyone must try Andalou Naturals Thickening Spray & the Volume Spray.. Seriously!!!! Must have, refreshers, adds volume and cleans my hair so I don't need a dry shampoo!! Also washing your hair more than 4 days in between is great for your hair!

[@anisa6638]

Thanks for uploading so often. I love your videos 😍

[@jaz1elise]

My hair loves SheaMoisture Extra-Moisture Detangler and SheaMoisture Curl & Style Milk! I've seen the JustNatural line on Pinterest. The back of my hair and my nape are problematic for me as far as moisture is concerned. I might need to use my As I Am CoWash Cleansing Conditioner one week and one of my SheaMoisture shampoos the next week. I know about Qhemetic, and their products, but never tried them.

[@carolinacastelan3094]

You really inspired me with rocking what I have and mainly who I am. Thank you alba! You are lovely

[@marypilypena-lopez4226]

You're an inspiration 😍😍😍 l'm glad l discovered you😍💓

[@Miloscozycorner]

Can you do an education video on water. I love your channel. I learn so much from you and would love to know how to tell which water is less toxic and better for overall health. Thank you for all the videos you have uploaded they have really helped my fiancé and I pay more attention to what we eat and put on and in our body. The greatest gift is knowledge. So Thank you

[@moym.2254]

[@jazmere777]

You seem happier. This move worked for you.

[@IreneandLove]

My hair is curly, waist length for years now and it's true that you sacrifice volume! But I am afraid to cut them since it takes years to grow them back! Love your videos 💖

[@imgrownforreal]

That detangler is EVERYTHING!!!!

[@DaniCBrice]

Do you wash your hair every single day? Love you 😘

[@jaliniparamsothi2786]

Hi Alba, is this a twist out method hairstyle your wearing in the video, if not could please tell me how to get type of curl or video on it? thanks

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

[@DuhNay20]

Have you ever tried any of the Bounce Curl products?

[@joannapena8702]

Hello, just started my curly hair journey & I'm having trouble when to cowash & shampoo wash & how many times a week.... could you please guide me in that?

[@sharryflashey4565]

can u show us when u cut ur hair please !!!!! like a video when u do it

[@taylorray4890]

Hairfinity is awesome if you want to grow your hair. I have curly hair as well, but yours is much curlier. It look so gorgeous in this video shiny and healthy.

[@cheyennehorvat1]

Hey Alba, I noticed you didn't stretch your hair out to do the length check like you did at the beginning of the challenge. Is there a reason for that?

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

I did do so Hun. You might have skipped over that part where I showed the clip of me stretching my hair length

[@cheyennehorvat1]

+SunKissAlba I rewatched it I definitely missed that part thank you for pointing it out!!

[@anauli]

I've been natural since April. If I hadn't gone to Dominican Rep though I would be natural for a little over a year. But I think I need to do a big chop soon since my hair still feels really damaged. Speaking of damaging my hair lol does anyone know a gentle way of lightening my hair? Thank you!

[@RunFromHumanContacts]

if you want a really natural way and ur not in a rush to lighten it, then honey will do the trick. Raw or Manuka is best. do masks with honey added to them or even just honey applied straight into hair...wet it a little to give it slip so it doesnt pull the hair. its not as sticky as youd think. i used to do it all the time til i went dark...also u can add it to ur daily conditioner and thatll speed up the process

[@RunFromHumanContacts]

but always add water to to it once water is added ro honey its hydrogen peroxide and thats what lightens it! so water is essential with the honey!

[@anauli]

Thank you!

[@RunFromHumanContacts]

You're welcome! Hope it works for u if ya try it!

[@firebvrd]

would you recommend a deva cut for 3a/3b long, fine hair? i really wanna know your take before spending so much money on a haircut that might not be worth it

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

3b is what I have. Deva cuts are not limited to any specific hair type. Each stylist specializes in different curls and styling. My stylist is Analis and Susan. Analis is my hair goals! She has 3a-3b hair booty length and Susan has 2b-3a hair mid back length. Point is, DevaCurl are for everyone

[@jo.bytheway]

Hey Alba & everyone ! Do you have any recommendations on organic hair products for straight hair that won't weigh it down? I love all the products you use but they are just too heavy for my fine straight hair. I'm all about volume too and would love to transition to healthier products!

[@Hersheychocolate12]

Maybe check out cloudy apples for her hair products or beautyklove for hair products.

[@jo.bytheway]

awkwardnchey thank you!

[@pamee1550]

Cuando haras videos en español?, la verdad los extraño mucho y el ingles no lo entiendo!!!!! :(

Hi Alba! Thanks for been Sincere on your Hair Growth. Hey! I Would Love to See the Trimming Process. Beautiful Your Hair!!!!!

[@victoriaallende17]

hi @sunkissalba where can i find your oil formula for the hair?

[@naturalbeautyhealing814]

Hey Alba who is your stylist at the deva salon? I'm planning to go to NY and I'm dying to go to the Devachan salon! :D

[@HALA626]

Love your top and necklace! xx

[@NatalieRobinsonDream]

Ugggh!!!! You just don't know how much I LOOOOOVE your channel!!!!! You inspire me to go ALL OUT with the organic "life" lol! You TOTALLY DO!!!! And I have really gotten to know you through your videos! We have so much in common! lol I have natural hair but my curl pattern is MUCH tighter than yours which I am definitely not ashamed about lol. Other than that, I think we look very similar also. I rock what I got that's just an old picture that I love so much... For the look of the picture itself. Anyways, your channel is literally my favorite.. Your my favorite KZbinr for seriously!!!! I crack these jokes but I'm actually VERY serious! You're Gorgeous and hope to meet you one day weather it is on earth or in heaven lol! 😃... Definitely on earth. Lol :-)

[@valeriachavez1751]

are you going to get short layers or long layers??

[@dtufts2]

What stylist do you use at Devachan for your hair cuts?

[@slimmniyaaa2501]

How often should I wash my hair while I'm doing the challenge I usually wash it once a week

[@missyara12]

I commend you for embracing your curls and natural hair I can't girl my hair is a HOT mess

[@ivanas442]

I have difficulty with tangles (long curly hair-elbow length) & nothing really seems to work creams/conditioners ect. What would be a good comb to detangle with has anyone tried wood combs or tangle teezer/aqua? (Finger detangling gives me trouble as well)
