This is so true. We Type 4's must embrace our texture as it is. For myself, as soon as I let go of trying to achieve "popping curls" my hair took off. Not only should you keep your hair goals to yourself, but you should keep your life goals to yourself. Feed your spirit and your body correctly and create a regimen that works for your hair and stick with it. All these things equal success.

No baby, if your hair secretes can help someone else go ahead and share it. Don't let other people's comments stop you from blessing someone else who may really need this. You can't tell a person how to think and feel rather you agree or not. You just help when you can, if I crumbled everything that the devil tried to stop and destroy me I would be in the hospital.

I had heat damage from a natural hair stylist and it took two years for my hair to grow back. Some of these natural hair stylist are horrible. Tip: only clip your ends when you feel you need to. People will have you looking bald headed because they're too lazy to do thick hair. Ok, rant over. I hope everyone has a beautiful hair journey.

Same thing happens to me. I dye it and it spots growing for two years. Am now back on the track

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

I went to 2 different “natural” hair salons and both times I got heat damage. It’s been 3 years since I’ve had heat in my hair and I don’t think I’m ever doing it again. I’ve been transitioning since and My hair finally looks healthy again.

[@babysoundsaway]

A hair stylist friend would blow so much heat to my to speed up the drying because she had higher-paying clients . Lastly she let an assistant do my relaxer and burned my nape so much that charred my skin so I couldn’t sleep for two nights. I’m texturizing now. I’m gonna try your Henna treatment

[@isaisa967]

The keeping your hair goals to yourself is the truest thing. I have 3c/4a hair, and it kinda skipped down to my generation so I am the only one who has the most curly hair in my family. My mom always has told me my hair was ugly and that I needed to put heat on it or regular hair dyes so the curls could be looser. I love this technique and I try not to mention hair around her so that she won’t insult my hair pattern. Thank you so much I love your energy you seem so sweet💜

You are a living doll!!! Yes I went natural almost 8 yrs ago and will NEVER go back... But my hair was starting to fall out (I had literally a bag of hair to show my doctor one time) everybody thought I was crazy because I had A LOT of hair, but I mean u know how your hair is supposed to look and feel to you. Well I have multiple problems with my hair, even thought it is beautiful it could be so much better. I have sebborrheic dermatitis in my scalp and it cannot STAND oils, I have had hormonal issues, and am on meds for blood pressure and diabetes but I still believe there is some way I can get healthier hair...I just haven't been able to yet...I trim , I protect, condition etc. Still no growth. Don't get me wrong I can MAKE it LOOK nice but it doesn't FEEL healthy. I have damage in the back and don't even use heat ever...I guess it's from meds (I AM over 45) so it just kind of depressing and yeah it's only hair but it's MY hair. Thank you for reading.

I am trying to grow my hair. The back of my hair is so short. It's so hard to catch it up. I started mixing Castro oil, argan oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and aloe vera gel with my leave in conditioner. I braided my hair on Sunday. I want to leave these braids in for 2 weeks or more. Do you have any suggestions on how to grow the back of my hair? My diet is pretty good, but I truly hate to exercise.

[@tinamakoni1105]

Hie l have a similar problem mine was totally stuck 😂not growing at all until l met someone on KZbin who advised me to shave the back hair completely and leave the front which is long then when it’s starting to grow you moisturize it every morning and give it a proper massage with essential oils,, and don’t plate it with other hairs you should separate is and leave it like that, you can plate the rest but for that back part you should separate it and use protective hair style even lines are okay and you put these lines across not downwards, l just started the journey in March this year and trust me lm seeing it growing like crazy

[@malkiawaalego2552]

I had the same issue. Get a satin scarf and a satin pillow case. Friction when sleeping on your back breaks your hair.

[@chinweaniche-hall3895]

Glad to stumble across your channel. I had a bad experience at a salon where I got burned badly by a relaxer and prior to that they used high heat to constantly blow my hair straight which is awful for 4c hair. I haven't touched a relaxer since 2016. I keep my hair in protective styles. I use shea butter and a moisturizing conditioner to prepoo prior to washing and my hair has been flourishing lately. Will be going on 5yrs natural summer 2021

[@YinkaNaturalista]

I'm glad you came across my channel as well. It's been over a year now. How has your hair progressed? I hope you're doing well.

[@chinweaniche-hall3895]

@@YinkaNaturalista My hair has been it's healthiest since i went natural. I learned to care for it myself and make sure if I go to a stylist that she's patient and works well with 4c hair. 6yrs natural and shoulder length the last time I had it blown out straight.

[@terrinastrauthers7007]

So I’m experiencing excessive shedding when I put my hair in braids, and my last braided style put a huge bald spot in my head 😭 I’m definitely going to try this treatment. Do you recommend anything else to help the bald spot grow faster ?

[@YinkaNaturalista]

When I was dealing with a small section of hair that was a little bare, I used some clay there, to make sure that there wasn't anything clogging my pores, and then I proceeded with my oiling treatments. Hope that helps love.

[@estherday8206]

I would also recommend looking up Alopecia Free with Jass. She's a KZbinr with a line of products for hair regrowth. You may benefit from her scalp balm

[@lifeinmyfro6324]

You’re hair probably can be sensitive to the braiding hair since its all chemicals

[@quantaviahilbert9489]

Switch the brand/ fiber of the braiding hair. Sometimes the dye can cause inflammation and shedding. I went to a shop that supplied braiding hair. That same night, my scalp was on fire.

[@quantaviahilbert9489]

Also, for regrowth, amla berry powder is helpful in masks or shampoos. Increase scalp massage after showers(the steam increases blood flow to follicles). Good luck 👸

[@michelleramirez1843]

This is so true about people I know so one who always weaving her hair never seen her hair & its 5 years im working with her & because my hair long & natural she always have something bad to say about my hair but i don’t take her on I love my hair & you give me motivation thanks so much 🌸

i feel u sis.. i had a "healthy" relaxed hair like since the day i was born (probably) but then it started cutting irregularly , i began to watch youtube vids about how to grow back my hair and damn i think it just made the whole story worst ..lol.. i used ricewater, onion and so on and so forth. so last year i got pretty upset about my hair 'cus it was just not like normal.. i mean , my relaxed hair used to be so long it almost touched my shoulders but not it was sooooo short that i could not even pack it up..errgh... SO!! last year May, immediately i got home after a full session in school i decided to chop it off. i mean all of it.. i was pretty angry about the state my hair was in but my mom found her way to tell my barber not to cut it all off but he should just do a basic transition for me ..and boom!! used the Coke recipe (yeah,it works/worked) and now, its been a year and 3 months , and im rocking my natural hair and i love it ..slow growth but it feels a lot healthier than it was before.. so.. to anyone feeling discouraged about your hair feel free to chop it off and restart ^_^
