How Did I Grow My Natural Hair So Fast?! (Finally Past Waist Length)

[@alicialennette]

*i can't wait until my hair gets this long 😍*

[@jenbroccoli861]

Alicia Lennette Same, lol.

[@lailamarie739]

Ikr like 😩😍 .

[@shanicem2222]

How long is it now

[@4kaii]

How long did it grow?

[@diosa.loba333]

You make a great observation. It is rather contradictory to be so adamant about "only using natural products" yet feed the body mostly "processed food" instead of mostly "whole natural food" (:

[@sorryitsme4040]

wolfbabe agreed!!

[@diosa.loba333]

Jeekai W Yes, I believe she is vegan which is a "whole foods lifestyle" (among other eating lifestyles which primarily consist of whole foods, such as paleo or ketogenic). I'm not sure what you are questioning?

[@F10werbunny]

wolfbabe I'm not a vegan so it's some of the terms you're using is unknown to me.

[@SterlingSMtr]

Jeekai W -Wolfbabe is pointing out that she made a good observation with some naturals that use NATURAL/ORGANIC products but aren't eating natural/organic foods.

[@diosa.loba333]

Jeekai W I'm not vegan either, but I'm more than happy to explain as best as I can what terms I'm using that are unknown to you (:

[@mycurrentevents]

How do black men get long hair? They wash it, grease it, and braid it. They don't mess in their hair and use a bunch of products. All we need to do is keep our hair from getting dry, and keep our hands out of it. Nice video.

[@courtneyf5497]

My hair was waist length and I recently just cut about 3-5 inches off. People were tripping because they didn't understand that yes my hair WAS long but to me it wasn't healthy. I know it'll grow back so I'm not tripping lol

[@aprilsarchives_]

court xo yes health over length 👍🏾

[@ShawntasWay]

court xo yesss! Love that you chose health over length

[@evanigolden]

court xo same! healthy hair will stimulate growth. focus on health. I just cut my hair today as well. I love it. my fro was longer in the front and shorter in the back. wasn't feeling it. so I made my hair longer in the back shorter in the front to frame my face. I love it.

[@nikitaspiteri]

similar thing with me

[@sheilaorangd1967]

Everybody have different texture hair everybody has different ways of taking care of a head but you have to take care of your hair from the inside and the out that means drinking plenty of water eating very good food exercising and you have to have peace of mind because you your hair to break off just from nerve or having too much to do but always as I try to do is pick a day that you can give yourself the whole Beauty makeover whether you go outside or you do it in your house I have most of my things in my house so I do my beauty regimen in my house and I try to pick one day out of the week that I do it that means facial nails soaking my feet doing whatever I have to do to keep myself up I don't have the money's to go outside and do it so I do it myself and you want to know I like the fruits of my labor so I hope that you take this advice and do what you need to do for yourself even though you may have children or a husband or whatever your situation is you know take care of yourself and then you can take care of everybody else

[@MissTLew]

You are what you eat. Ppl take care of their hair more than they take care of their body.

[@LoveYourselfAlways007]

Eating a plant based diet absolutely is key! My hair grew so much faster when I went Vegan last year!😍❤️Thank you for the tips as well!💕

[@MsFlamingFlamer]

Love Yourself Always amen! I have been vegan now for a few years now and my hair is now the longest it has ever been (about tail bone length). It was stuck at bra strap length before I was vegan

[@LoveYourselfAlways007]

MsFlamingFlamer Wow, that's awesome! 👏🏾🙌🏾

[@ashleytillman8828]

Love Yourself Always how did vegan go, I think I want to try..

[@LoveYourselfAlways007]

Ashley Tillman One of the best decisions I've ever made. Try it out for two weeks. You'll feel so much better.💯 Watch "What The Health," "Cowspiracy," and "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix. Great info. Lots of resources/recipes/support online and here on KZbin.

[@1foreverthelife]

I no longer eat meat but I need help with this vegan ting

[@renesimmons9605]

YES U ARE CORRECT!! I wore sew in weaves back to back for about a year and when i took it out in February I WANTED TO CRY!!..(I thought from it being braided under the weave that it would have grown)..my hair was extremely DRY , SHORTER and NO LIFE AT ALL!!..so THANKS!! i look forward to your videos they have helped me tremendously! !.. I'M ON MY JOURNEY TO HEALTHY HAIR FIRST THEN I WILL CONCENTRATE ON GROWTH!!..NORIYA MAKES ME LAUGH 😂..SHE IS TOOOO CUUUTE!!..THANKS AGAIN!!

[@airilamb8503]

Rene Simmons same but I used braids and when I took them out I noticed some of my edges missing! Now I'm working to get them back. Did you grow your hair back?

[@renesimmons9605]

Forever Glamorous yes it has started to grow and is looking so much healthier!!😀

[@shannh6724]

Rene Simmons Wait, you had a sew in for a year straight?! Why that long?????

[@renesimmons9605]

MsShaye H NOOOOO!!..i got it redone bout every 3 mths but less than a week later i always had it redone not really given my hair time to breathe plus my hair is very fine and the sew in were pretty tight which didn't help

[@ravenclaw045]

YES! These long term protective styles were NOT the move

[@cindygilbert8360]

Definitely be patient with hair growth...that is key to getting healthy hair.

[@tiwiogunye]

When I put my hair in braids for literally just 2 weeks I notice that my hair grows a lot

[@aliengirl6070]

Exactly I grew like two inches in a week after wearing braids it is sooo good

[@goldenb2395]

extension braids?

[@sheilaorangd1967]

Protective styling goes for what environment you a n when I say environment I mean your job your living quarters whatever it maybe you may live in a van and you can't wash your hair as often as you would like but you know you have to take care of it even if you do showering at a gym it so it's according to where you live what you do what type of hair that you have this lady seems like she has either 3 b24b year so it may be easier to maintain I have for a or b here and my hair is a little bit easier to maintain than some other people who have paid a curl so is according to what type of hair that you have all I say to text you also

[@CoCo_Goddess]

over the past two years since I've been natural I've tried every oil you can name....tons of products and my hair just wouldn't stay moisturized. I got really frustrated and went back to a few basics. now I use Garnier Fructis curl nourish shampoo and tresemme conditioner along with blue magic hair grease with jcbo mixed in and Cantu Curl Activating cream. My hair ABSOLUTELY loves these products. my hair is soft moisturized and my curls be poppin!! very little shedding and no breakage😆😆😆😆😆and it's gotten thicker

[@tifftaylor7531]

Petrice Jennings i did this too, buying everything that was on the market but i went back to the things my grandma used to use and my hair is fine now.

[@Lafilledlapluie]

Suhn Khisst Beauty my hair was dying because of blue magic lol

[@Amanda-kb8ok]

When I was in elementary school I had waist length hair. All mama did was wash it, oil my scalp and use that blue magic hair grease, and braid it up. Every 2 weeks. Then I turned 13 and took matters into my own hands...😥 now I'm 29 and am going back to basics. My hair is still short as I big chopped last year,but its healthy and moisturized.

[@sheilaorangd1967]

There's a lady on the internet that has waist-length hey it might be a little longer than waist-length but she has her own products and that's the thing about it we do go through a lot of products before we learn how to manage our here and I went through a lot of products and when I first went natural I had a lot of shedding and that was that old colored hair that I died for a long time and I understand that now my shedding isn't bad at all what I get out of my hair because I don't comb my hair anymore I only called my hair when I wash it and I wash my hair about every 10 days maybe 10 to 14 days but when I first started my head Journey my natural hair Journey my hair grew very slow then I started doing other things but lately within the last pass I say three to four months I was taking a new supplement and I noticed my hair was growing rapidly and I mean it appeared like with in the was in a two month. My hair grow about 2 inches two and a half inches and I couldn't believe it's so I had to flatiron and when I flatiron my hair oh my goodness I was surprised how my hair had grown now I still use my oils and my shampoo and whatever else I use to clean my scalp I still use those things I use rice water and I noticed that maybe all the dead hear Shannon and now the new year is coming through I've been on my journey about three about three years now by the end of this year the 2019 will be approximately three years and as of last week which was 1st of March 2019 I was really surprised and I see the fruits of my labor

[@flawlessbroccoli581]

Any other curly girls trying to get past mid back length?

[@lynn1304]

Yes but I think I found a new goal watching this video

[@wanim.1810]

You have the most beautiful hair on KZbin! Of all the naturals I follow, you have the most consistent hair routine. And I love the fact that you promote a healthy eating lifestyle. It all starts within...what you put inside your body will definitely show on the outside. Congrats on your hair journey milestone and keep inspiring all us naturals! 😊💕

[@mzamaze4840]

Great info! I been officially natural for 6 months. I've transitioned for a year & half. Then cut off the relaxed ends, this past January. I have been following you & trying your routine. My hair was to my ears now it's on my shoulders. I'm working on getting more healthy and I know my hair will prosper as well. Thank you! ❤️

[@rayanashanealeach]

Amaze Jax what routines did you try/follow ? Im gonna cut off all my relaxed in 2 years which will be December .

[@curli-lettey4319]

Noriya needs her own channel, just from that split second cameo she made her entrance, gave us a big beautiful smile😆and left with a note saying don't cut her part out. Too cute. and y'all hair is popping💥

[@FatPeanutsFat]

My opinion is that your hair and nails don't need to breathe. They are dead. What they do need is moisture it's why I don't recommend people go more than 4 days without "washin" and conditioning to put that moisture back into the hair. When you wear tight braids the combination of the tension and then the dryness is too much which causes breakage.

[@aateriovalhalla2787]

FatPeanutsFat I love McDonald’s!

[@princessxx7122]

I AGREE! People be telling me I wash my hair too much, you can’t keep oiling your hair without eventually washing it off.

[@cleocharlery9351]

I agree, I shredded a lot of hair because of the constant crochet braids. The hair loss was real, I've stopped with the constant crochet braids and my hair is thriving

[@ShawntasWay]

Cleo Charlery yes!!

[@CrystalArkia]

My biggest problem right now with being natural is shedding. I think my hair sheds way more than it should.

[@cynbeblessed5408]

LifeAsKia wild growth oil help with my shedding..I don't shed no more. I use it everyday.

[@ashrob28]

LifeAsKia trimmng helps too

[@nataliaglover6136]

LifeAsKia Hi! I used to have this same problem. For me, a quick fix was rinsing with green tea... be careful with this because too much caffine can stun your hair. Another difference that is more long term would be protien. At times I just use a keratin mix in ny deep condition and every other month I do a real protein treatment.If it (your hair) is overconditioned then it is weak and may just be shedding because it isnt strong enough to sustain itself (think too elastic).I remember when having my hair moisturized every day,getting my hair drenched in water as the only way to style, and going out with still very damp hair was when my hair would noticably shed the most. So maybe don't overdo it with extra product that weigh down your hair. If all fails you may want to consider your diet if you are deficient in certain nutrients and it may be showing in your hair. This might not be your issue at all and our hair may be nothing alike but these changes helped me at least. Wish you the best!😊

[@TheFancyCandy]

Check your iron levels.

[@Kuromigirl96]

Mine too

[@MyriciaLaRease]

You Used The PERFECT Example , Acrylic Nails Are Pretty But They Can Be Very Damaging . I Wear Protective Styles Pretty Often But I Make It A Priority To Care For My Natural Hair In Between And Underneath Them And I've Definitely Seen Some Growth . Love Your Videos 😁❤️!

[@JennyBelly1983]

Ladies ladies ladies, hair is GENETICS as well as HOW you take care of it. Point blank period.

[@boomboom177]

JennyBelly1983. Amen!!

[@boomboom177]

[@RandomAK1]

Agreed! The what you eat argument isn't valid. My diet is horrible but still reached butt length.

[@nyanzarojas8776]

so how do you explain the women who have had short hair for ever until they change their routine.

[@GraceLifeExoticals]

Hair texture and density ECT is genetics. Length is routine, diet, and stress levels. Smh

[@ShawntasWay]

New video up!! I'm finally answering some questions about my hair growth 🌸

[@tiffanyadams-khumalo2768]

Shawntas Way do you take any natural supplements for hair growth as well?

[@ShawntasWay]

Tiffany Adams I don't :)

[@tiffanyadams-khumalo2768]

Shawntas Way okay thank you 😊

[@MaSheri33]

Guys your hair can't get used to a routine (edit:product). If your routine is balanced between protein, moisture, clarifying and styling there is no need to change it up because your hair "gets use to it". (edit: hair is not alive, it cannot develop an immunity to product, weather, chemical structure can influence the way a product works, but hair itself does not "get use" to products. It is a hair care myth).

[@ShawntasWay]

Sherifa Star the statement was in reference to products..using the exact same products in your routine over and over and over will cause your hair to stop reacting..for ex like when you take the same medication all the time your body gets used to it and the medication will start to not take as well to your body bc you over use it, you'll end up needing more to get results or your body will becomes accustomed to the results. This is the same for products in ur routine; your hair will start to get used to the products if you don't switch them up from time to time

[@MaSheri33]

Shawntas Way I understood but your hair isn't alive like your body. You can't develop immunity to products. Normally when a becomes "immune" it's usually product build up from not shampooing hair regulary or weather/ environmental changes or a transition in structure of your hair from chemical or heat damage or even change in preference.

[@beaubeauknows3620]

Sherifa Star agreed we just went over something similar to this in my anatomy class

[@ShawntasWay]

Sherifa Star I believe that in the summer/ winter time your routines should be adjusted to fit environmental factors and every so often you should switch things up in your routines but this is just my philosophy but I also get what you're saying

[@shrudeness]

Shawntas Way you are correct! there's book knowledge & then there's proven methods, based on your hair & your daughter's 🙄 I value your advice 💚 tfs

[@kellyramos865]

i love your hair. cant wait for my hair to get to your level.

[@ShawntasWay]

Kelly Ramos thank you!

[@berlindadebrah7985]

u have a lot of hair so lovely I wish my hair like yours

[@sheilaorangd1967]

That's what I tell lots of women that show off your beautiful gorgeous hair whether you are in the beginning of your hair Journey or you have gotten to the middle of your hair Journey I am at the point now where I do keep my hair braided so that I can put it up but I don't put on wigs or anything I'll wear my hat but I'll wear something to protect something silky to protect my hair but around the house I wear my hair open braided but open and I mean just in 3/3 plats and I do oil my hair through the plaits so that you know it won't get dry my hair scalp won't get dry and I oil my hair and oil seems to work for me and I do you use shea butter and that seemed to protect and work for me so far as moisturizing I use a moisturizing shampoo or I use a Moisturizing Conditioner I tried to do everything that I can and drinking water that helps moisturize your body which helps your hair and I do use apple cider vinegar so all these things can help you for hair growth and it takes a while it's not going to happen overnight when you talk about two three maybe four years maybe five years to get to your destiny with your hair growth so you know take your time eat healthy be healthy thing healthy and I'm get a massager did the hair massager that you can get wash your hair in the shower also and that promote hair growth at least they say it does but I am so surprised at my hair growth I am so very surprised and but I work hard I work hard with it

[@sheilaorangd1967]

I believe that too I really believe that you should let your hair breathe and do everything that you can do to have scalp stimulation and to keep your scalp clean because that's where the hair growth comes from is your scalp but like I say I am so happy with my hair growth and listen listening to several KZbinr that I mean a lot of KZbinrs that gave me such good ideas and I took them and I ran with them and I'm doing them and my head is growing I have a lot of boils I don't have a lot of hair products but I have a lot of oils that I collaborate with and do my hair and while I'm sitting down looking at TV not only does it help my hair but it helps my nails and I massage my hair or my scalp and I run the oil through my hair and I think that has a great deal to do with it too the people in my family have long hair no I don't know whether my sisters had long hair I know my mother had a fairly long hair but my mother comes from the old school hot comb pressing so but my sisters I don't know where the day went into chemicals or what they went into but they don't have the hair that they used to have but I am so grateful to the KZbinrs for helping me I thank you all KZbinrs for giving me good ideas about my hair and how to grow it and how to have patience now I'm just having patience

[@nofakees]

[@kristinabeck2174]

You got the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. The curls the color EVERYTHING!!! I love it!

[@arieledmonds6116]

fairy knot are bad .. and u do HAVE to cut them bc they will damage your hair, bc it'll tangle will other hair . causing breakage .. don't leave them , try to detangle. if it doesn't come out u have to cut it

[@alanastv1204]

I have to agree with u Don't pay too much attention to the growth Just care for it and growth will come

[@praysiabond519]

I totally agree with the braid comment. I have had my hair in box braids going on while now. And I'm so excited to take my hair Wednesday. So my hair can breathe. I'm going to go natural for a month to see how I can deal with it and get to know my hair.

What do you do/use for your hair growth? I've been natural for about 3 years now, but haven't seen much growth.

[@wildfyah]

Excessive protective styling can be counter productive.

[@kaymarie5635]

wildfyah that is true

[@carolwiggins5834]

Kristie Marie ji,

[@godpristine]

So to those who struggled transitioning to natural, I am with you!!! I used to wear weaves non stop and my hair was uneven from damage to straightening leave out 🤦🏽‍♀️ What worked for me was going full closures and frontals, but when I realized I wasn’t letting my hair breathe enough (and i’m a broke college student) I switched to wigs! This allows me to braid my hair in smaller chunks which helps me keep it moisturized (and helps cause idk how to cornrow lol). My hair is by no means waist length, i’m tryna get there too. But I’ve seen tremendous growth and health in my hair since the switch. Which has given me confidence and hope that in no time, my hair will be waist length too! I hope this helps someone lol, and if so like it so others can see 🤗🤗💕💕

[@tatianaprettyy]

When i keep my hair braided with out extensions..my hair grows.....when i was a kid ...my .mom braided my hair in many styles and kept my hair oiled.....Once i became an adult and changed my hair frequently ...my hair had breakage.... so constant braiding helps my hair.....

[@kiddmuscle]

I've been natural all of my life and my hair is butt length when stretched. Only when I started using more natural hair products 6 years ago did I start seeing lots of hair growth. For most of the teenage years of my life I used hair products with mineral oil as the main product. Since I started using natural hair products about 6 years ago , my hair has been growing a lot faster (I'm now in my 20's). :)

[@goodnight.7538]

That little girl was so precious lol

[@shericawilliams9623]

I agree apple cider vinegar made my 4c hair soooo soft it made is so shiney. hair need air

[@millyb8311]

The problem with single strand knots is that they can end up getting stuck in combs, ripping the hair out at the root or breaking the knot off on the end, causing a split end. They are not good. Even if you only detangle with only your fingers, they are still a vulnerability that can lead to breakage but I find with certain hair types they are always forming so you just have to do your best to make sure your hair is always detangled well and that the knots are dusted off every once in a while.

[@crochetbabe829]

My goodness, yours has grown a lot and it looks so healthy [your daughter's hair too]. I keep mines clipped because I can only handle so much of it, lol. Great analysis with comparison to hair and nails because they are very similar. I think wear your hair more so than to wear a wig is key for growing out your own hair, along with taking good care of your hair.

[@jaleisajackson2954]

even though your hair is so long it has a cute shape!! volume & thickness... beautiful!!

[@janaymallory2109]

I keep my hair in braids or sew ins around 70% of the time and my hair is thicker and longer each time I take it down. I always make sure that I do a really good deep conditioning before I get my hair done and I also give my hair about a week or two in between where I focus on making sure my hair is moisturized. While my hair is in the styles I make sure to oil my scalp so I think that's my my hair is always improving in the protective styles. But I agree with you, if you just throw in style after are without any kind of maintenance then the hair is going to become weak and brittle, not to mention extremely dry.

[@fai927]

[@shaneslatr]

This whole idea of "letting your hair breathe" is very confusing to me. I wear wigs with cornrows underneath, but as soon as I walk in the house, the wig is on the floor. Am I letting my hair breathe enough?

Hey Shawntas, I enjoyed the video. I was wondering would you do a review on design essentials. Specifically the moouse, custard, and leave in conditioner as a wash and go. I personally tried these and omg.....they were the bomb.

[@winterrose4574]

Thanks forall the great tips girl! lol I have seen how much your hair has grown and can't wait to see mine start doing the same lol. I take care of my hair, I just think I'm always thinking bout why its growing slowly and all that so all that focus on it will make it seem like its taking longer like you said lol.

[@kharris5597]

❤ I agree about the ends..i clip them every 3 years and my hair is passed my waist also after 6 years..once it hit bra strap length i just stopped doing it everyday cuz it became too much. Maybe once a week now or sometimes once a month and my diet is trash trash. Also i have NEVER put shampoo, heat, weave, or color in my hair.

I have 2 questions Will your hair grow in 20 days in a protective style? and how can u fix uneven hair?

[@jazzyp.8361]

i have 4c short hair.neck length.it takes a much longer time to grow 4c hair than curly hair.Plus it shrinks when getting wet which i hate a lot.I hope and pray that my hair type will just "transform" into curly hair.(I think my hair is healthy) It looked like it had received heat damaged,but when i started to brush it out and deranged it,my hair looked healthy. I really like long hair. I would long waist length hair😭😭😭😭

[@MoRuSel]

Do you loose a lot of hair during the course of the week? When washing your hair do you loose a lot of hair? I always find I have a lot of hair tangled in my fingers when Im refreshing my curls/ washing my hair. Even after I'm out the shower and Im adding my product I still have hair getting tangled in my fingers.

[@yaminanatsaret]

I'm just like you when it comes to tracking hair growth. Whenever I'm not checking for it grows like wildfire. I just do my hair and be like oop it that length?! Yaaasss lol but this was really helpful. I'd also love to see more vegan vids from you 😊

[@mrsintriguing]

[@kaylenwhite6840]

Have you decided when we are getting an updated straight hair routine /length check ?

[@justiceeea7040]

The longest my hair has ever been is atleast in between mid back and armpit length. I've gone 4 years without a relaxer but it took me a 2 and a half years to stop straightening and to actually take care of it. Right now I'm at armpit length. Hopefully by next year at this same time I'll be at boob length

What is your advice on any alternatives with spraying water daily or regularly because of reverting or poofing up. Is there any other way to moisturized without experiencing this. I have very thick 4c hair.

[@sczendiaries]

my hair is mid length but all I want is that when its in a pony tail I can feel it swing or feel it touching my back.When its wet that's the only way people see my hair length.I want to let people see that my hair can grow.

[@PatriceDEvans]

Great analogy with the nails. I agree. I prefer wash n go's.

[@yaminanatsaret]

Curious lol but do you feel like the certain brand of oils do better than others or do you feel they're all the same as long as they're organic and cold pressed?

[@samantha132]

With your fine hair(3 B or C?), how does your hair not get weighed down by using the black castor oil frequently?

[@jayjays2959]

Yes the acv rinse has worked wonders for me I use it once or twice a month. I have you to thank.

[@blueviolets2106]

Your hair has grown so much

[@lvncsr6166]

This was such a good video. I've been natural for 9 years and haven't seen the kind of growth I'd like. Maybe it's because I still don't fully understand what it needs.??? I'm also a vegan and I drink plenty of water.

[@rochelef.9576]

Great video! ! What brand of jbco do you use and do you use it in your daughters hair?

[@mammasfallenangel1]

[@d.w.2897]

PLEASE, STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LENGTH. :)

[@MiVidaBellisima]

braids will break or break down your hair overtime if worn on a constant basis. it will put excessive tension on you hair.

[@takeadaytrip5136]

keep up the good work

[@Mikelle157]

I feel like I need to just keep my hair put up so I'm not thinking about it as you mentioned. Just get it put in different braided hair styles and weaves! Then one dsy I'll jus wake up and whala!

[@1dogissky]

You're hair is really nice. I have been stuck at the same length for 3 years :'( I've tried everything so I might just cut it off forever.

[@vinnettepope8255]

Thank you for sharing this awesome tutorial video on hair growth.

[@lumi2431]

My hair is 3b/3c but it grows so slow!!! My curls look like hers, but I think my hair has stopped growing.

[@yanniwoods8216]

Her hair is soooooo beautiful

[@kendra0006]

Hello! I've been watching your videos for hours, lol. I'm wondering what you could suggest I do to get my curls back after my "big chop"? I'm about a 3a/3b type I'd say if that matters....thanks in advance.

[@Mikelle157]

Kendra collins I do a protein treatment once a month. Your hair is made up of protein so doing a protein treatment will help to keep it strong. I also wash my hair once every two weeks along with deep conditioning it( and I pre poo before shampooing. This helps to give your hair more moisture). Deep conditioning overnight gives your hair even more moisture. As far as styling goes I stick to the loc method. I also co-wash my hair once every 3 days to help keep it moisturized. Some people may do it more often, some less often, but my hair particularly needs it once every 3 to 4 days. Hope this helps!

[@Tracks777]

Nice video! Keep it up!

[@untitled1168]

I agree my mom never lets me wear my natural hair Emma show her this video and see what she say I love u so much thank u

[@shunle3317]

It's really hard to grow long hair, and I saw something that said you grow 6 inches of hair in one year.

[@tiarapatricia992]

My hair is pretty long how do you keep down the shrinkage. My hair shrinks up around my face and I get annoyed and throw it up. I have high density low porosity hair. Thanks a bunch

[@Smiileification]

This is going to sound stupid, but is it essential to always tie your hair down at night ? I do wash and goes everyday because I haven't found a protective style I like or that comes out right on me.

[@Mikelle157]

Venita Jones Yes, with a silk scarf. It helps to prevent breakage. Or you can sleep in a silk bonnet or on a silk pillow case. I don't know what hair texture you have but I have 3C hair and if I didn't tie my hair down at night it would be a mess in the morning!

[@Smiileification]

I will try that, thank you !

[@Nyotakikora1]

So awesome... and happy for you. Got to keep talking to mt tresses...lol

[@SincerelyTaliaxo]

Love your hair!!
