[@RavenNavera]

Hey guys! I'm in holiday in Saint Lucia at the minute so wifi is a little sketchy but I wanted to bring you guys this quick hair routine with some tips on how I grew it out in about 10 months. I'm here reading the comments so let me know your thoughts :)

[@sharoyac9134]

Yes !!!!!!

[@itstheundisputedsagboo]

I was just about to comment the same thing Lml 😂

[@valerieneal2747]

DEFINITELY. I never tolerated too many folks wanting to put their hands in my hair. The only one besides yself was my then hairdresser. Since I've gone natural (which has been for years)..I take care of my own hair. I'm not even cool with my relatives doing that. I've always been that way.

[@themangodiaries284]

Basically keep it simple and keep it consistent. GOT IT!👍🏿

[@Kaliiiibby]

Ur beautiful without make-up 😊💓

Thankyou so much! I’m a 15 year old girl with 4c hair and it’s cool to see awesome you tube videos with great advice.

You are like for real my favorite person on YT right now. I’ve been sleeping on your channel, man.

[@gabriellemarie8084]

Thank you so much for showing an actual video of step by step procedures on how you wash your hair.

[@Mandinko23]

you got the best hair growth video ever, because its simple and straightforward, and you use shea moisture which i love. im going to get the leave in conditioner i tend to leave that one out. im currently using the original shea moisture conditioner and the black soap shampoo.

[@peachesandcream1517]

Thanks for sharing about the products you are using, my hair needs some precious care right now 🌺

[@nytl4694]

Thank you (from Los Angeles) I really enjoyed your tips. I'm in the transitional phase with my hair. Struggling for natural hair styles in this phase, cause I had my sister actually cut damaged/old relaxed hair off. Been in weaves and broads since Aug 2016. So yeah hair is still coming to terms with not being braided. Your video helped me to better understand what I should do and will continue to do. Thank you!

[@valleygirl1429]

Great tips! I'll​ try this on my daughter and myself.

[@KD-vg1kh]

I hope you know we expect a skin care video now after seeing yours flawless glowing skin Just a heads up lol

[@boundlessshorestravelservice]

Thanks for sharing. I just shaved my head yesterday as I'm starting my natural hair journey. I'm motivated by ur vid!

[@sandrastella]

That Brown Eyed Jamaican Girl how did it go 😁

[@ruthmyers6272]

I love the way you are so proud of yourself and who you are. You are an inspiration to all women.

[@unattainablekk101]

I'm in love with the growth in just 10 months......I've been growing out from transitioning and I've experienced major breakage. I would love to see a video of your braiding style.

[@millicentprettymillzjordan7443]

Thank you I will be doing this for my daughter and myself!!! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL NO MAKEUP NEEDED.

[@csimm48891]

[@amore6206]

Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@globalseeking]

Your hair is beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@okaymea]

I do the same thing. Whenever I go through change or sad times and seek a new start, I always cute my hair. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does that

[@ladylissss]

I was just negotiating relaxing my natural hair of 2years... this video just made me rethink. Subscribed

[@marcy4227]

This is great! I use the exact same products and have been for 6 months since taking my braids out which broke my edges. I would have rebraided etc. By now but no! 6 months and Im working protective styles. So proud 😊

[@torodeedee]

Your hair is sooooo soft...I can tell even by merely looking at it. I really hope I can get the Shea moisture products here in Nigeria. I would really love to try it out, I'm natural right now and I am having real issues growing it out, I have had stunted growth. And yes you're pretty.

[@tashahenry7566]

Watching this as I shaved my hair 2 years ago and it is still in twa mode. I struggle retaining length due to lack of moisture and I wear my hair out daily. Thanks for your tips i will most definitely be trying shea moisture products.

[@djlivvy46]

Do you know the porosity of your hair? It is essential to know this for effective hair care.

[@Smellyrules101]

You should do more protective styles.

[@Shon9tilR]

Smellyrules101 What kind of protective styles? That don't put to much tension on it.

[@Smellyrules101]

Shon9tilR You can find so many on KZbin and natural hair blogs. The most common protective styles are crochet hair, weaves, sew-ins, wigs and many different types of braids. There is a wide variety to protective styling so you can just find what works for you. Hope this helped 💞

[@julesmace1]

Natasha Henry my hair started to keep length when I stopped wearing it out so much. I only wear my hair out on the weekends.

[@maturingintolove711]

I love the twists underneath your wig. I usually do 4-5, but I'll be doing this going forward.

[@ericabedia8370]

Thank you for sharing your regiment with us!! :D

[@hahaha70263]

Such beautiful hair. So thick and healthy looking. I'm just a black guy (Jamaican) that loves seeing black/SSA women embrace their natural hair. Keep it up and rock that fro.

[@BoseFayodeka]

Loved this video! I can relate sooo much, I love my natural hair but the maintenance is on another level! Have fun in St Lucia. I just got back and it was amazing ✨☺️

[@KimMeWyatt]

You are TOO REAL...TOO PERFECT! Even though I make my own products, this is my basic hair care regimen too...*THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT LADIES* (BUT to each it's own) and THANKS for letting people know they don't have to be OVER-THE-TOP to maintain they're hair...which a lot of people doing these vids do!

[@kwanzialpha1350]

hi gal you look so much better and younger with you own hair...thats a win win for you

[@Diamondaily]

Other than my boyfriend I've never met someone that made me fall so fast ! ❤️ love your vids girl

[@RavenNavera]

Oh my god!!! You just made my day 😘😘

[@thykingdomcomethywillbedon9359]

Raven Navera I agree you are so inviting you are beautiful I can feel your vibe through the video,

[@thykingdomcomethywillbedon9359]

Raven Navera It's something that you use shear butter because I used a little desperate to get my hair some moister I didn't know if it was a good or bad thing I was just tired of my hair being like that, but it does have my hair beautiful now and you confirmed it

[@mariaharriss]

i have a habit of cutting my hair when I'm really depressed, but it liberating. Thanks for the info :)

[@angelfromhavenangie8354]

This is my first time watching this channel but this helped me so much I'm subscribing

[@loreneversane4788]

Thanks so much! I have enjoyed it so much .

[@BlackButterfly19]

Shea butter (mixed with a bit of coconut oil) works wonders for my hair. The moisture lasts for days; I only need to apply it 2-3 times a week. It's easier to apply when blended well, almost to a cream.

[@KM-nq7hz]

Thank you so much. Exactly what I needed!

[@acmcgowan751]

Raven you keep it real . Great tutorial.

[@TazzLinz]

"Were not puppies" 😂 #sorelatable

Simily you asshole arnt you been taught at School

[@sibim836]

Savage Sylvo758 it’s a simile 🤦‍♀️

[@JamesDavis-nu5lx]

Hi Raven! I was inspired by your video to encourage me to grow my natural type 4 hair. As it stands now I believe it's 2 inches at the back and 3 (and a half) inches at the front (maybe 1 inch at the temple areas) since I had a trimming 'mistake' 2 weeks ago at the barbers a day after taking my cornrows out which were rather tight since I had them done on the 5th of June (left them in for 3 weeks before taking them out) and I did indeed see growth but because the cornrows at the ends were very tight I ended up pulling off chunks of my hair which damaged the scalp and my scalp throughout the next few days was VERY irritated with some burning feeling. What I mean by "trimming mistake" is that the barber trimming my hair asked if I want more trimming done and I said yes. Afterwards I felt ashamed because the barber cut off more length without even telling him to stop (because I wanted my split ends which were frizzy and looked thin to be cut off too). What I'm doing right now on a weekly/nightly basis is apply the protein hair fertilizer in my hair and scalp 3 times a day and the Wild Growth hair oil 2 times a day (Monday, Wednesday and Friday = hair fertilizer (tube not the ORS brand) Tuesday and Thursday = Wild Growth hair oil) and at weekends mainly Saturday I wash my hair with shampoo/conditioner or use my Shea Moisture Strengthen and Restore Treatmemt Masque. I also moisturise my hair and scalp with a moisture oil or cream (for me thats HaiREpair Intence Moisture Cream). I know its gonna take 3 or 5 months to grow the afro I wanted but this is what I do. If you have any hair tips or suggestions please let me know! (sorry I dont have a photo of myself or any videos uploaded as my channel is ONLY for watching videos and posting comments)

[@angelawhyte4777]

Love love love Shea moisture the only product that keeps my hair moisturize

[@sylfan4life]

Great video! I recently cut my hair to the scalp because I get frustrated when it grows because it's hard to manage -- but I'm going to try those products you recommended.

[@asumptuous1810]

Hi Raven, I really enjoyed your video and just liked & subbed. I cut/shave my head for emotional and cleansing purposes also! I just did it the end of June. No wigs for a bit. Sometimes I just need a break. But I miss my twists now after seeing yours! Your hair is gorgeous! I'm using hair growth recipes now and watching my diet better. I'll make a note to purchase the Shea Moisture products soon too. I'm glad I found you today. Thank you for sharing and stay blessed 👍🏾🙏🏾😊✌🏾🌹

[@hatinallday74]

Your spirit is riviting!!! You are way too cute! Thanks for the video!

Love it it girl!! I'm a new natural and I needed this info thanks!1

[@bossladyghana6303]

Your twists look so beautiful girl 💯💯

[@chumley7117]

Love your informative video! I love the way you look in your natural hair as opposed to the wig. Anyway, I use the same products you are using but am battling slow hair growth due to thyroid issues. My hair is growing, but at a very slow pace. I hope to get this corrected soon.

[@neceminlinda]

I did my big chop 2 months go... and through test and trial trying to fine the best moisturizer for my hair ... I started using raw Shea butter and WHAT A GAME CHANGER💕💕💕

[@candicesmith8208]

Wow Raven this video was so helpful for me THANKS 👍🏿

[@mademoisellesy3069]

sis, you're gorgeous! thanks for the tips. :)

[@YlmMills]

Just watched your video - so glad I saw it. Simple and not too time consuming - not everyone wants to spend several hours on their hair every week. Recently my hair has become thin and dry so have started to moisturise, moisturise and moisturise to see if this will help. Have been wigging it since Christmas but don’t feel that the ends were being moisturised properly as cane row was under the wig. Thanks for your tips and defo subscribed. Ps wish I was brave enough to chop but scared it won’t grow back!😩

[@PaulaSantos-qx9yc]

Girl, your skin is just perfect!

[@oohsquirk]

LOVE THIS! I have my regime down pack but I'm trying to figure it out for my daughter. ..... I tried this method and let's just say NO TEARS nor TEARS! 👍 her hair is super long and we got through it. Thanks!

[@oohsquirk]

and I'm a cutter as well. I had bra length and snipped it last November. Growing it back now.

[@BB-xv2xk]

I love your natural hair!!!!

[@onediafields164]

Great viedo! enjoy your natural self.

[@teddypgray]

Love that you are natural no wig no makeup no nothing. Just wish that you didn't need to use any products on your hair. Anyhow, awesome video!

[@ginabeana3469]

AHHHHH I LOVE YOU AND THIS VIDEO !

[@kendallhannah1979]

the double twists.. no makeup... was a great look on you... try it out! very pretty!

[@cjohnson3289]

Girl you use my products yasss😍I love Shea moisture products ❤️

[@diaryofasuperfatty]

Thanks! You are naturally beautiful! Blessings

[@achumafihla3392]

You have BEAUTIFUL skin. Please share your skincare routine. Would love to see what you do to your skin on a daily basis

[@jewelthompson4210]

Can you do a tutorial on how you braided your plaits into the hair for box braids? I would really appreciate it because that is such a good idea.

[@sagelenyatsa6094]

You are absolutely gorgeous!

[@shantaywilliams177]

Yes. Natural hair is the best. I will have to invest in Shea Moisture products. I've used Cantu products for years, but I find my hair needs more moisture.

[@Trinatime]

Beauty of black hair! The love

[@zingrosa]

Love this video. I went natural for the second time 2 years ago and this time I tried to do more protective styling. I found that the whole "product junkie" thing wasn't working out for me so I did a cleanup. Now I use shea butter, argan oil shampoo & conditioner (and sometimes Herbal Essences) and an intensive mask from Boots ( it's really hard to get natural hair products here). I think using too many different products does not promote hair growth, find those that work and stick to them. Great editing and tips!

[@amayah9671]

Do you have to wash Shea butter out of your hair?

[@zingrosa]

Mya I don't think so lol. I use it to style my hair, it's amazing for twist out's

[@amayah9671]

zingrosa thank you

[@livelaugh_love0]

zingrosa so true..i had the same experience. Simple things work best on natural hair

[@feliciaallen6228]

I did the same thing and glad you mentioned the product junkie. I have a cosmetology background and I have always told people to use what works for them and less is better. thanks for the post. I do the same with my face and I wear makeup. No special products, just the basics.

[@kuroe-chan5190]

That's what I've been doing for months, twist or braid and wear my wig, which was ok but I was so ready to let hair breathe. Only problem now, she's stressed when it's not braided or covered. Constant combing and heat is too much but I know it needs to be out a bit. I am being vigilant and moisturizing and sealing 1-2x a day. Seems to be ok at moment

[@TheShuga305]

I love it 😍 thanks for sharing

[@FindYourTruth888]

you rock!! thanks! let me now if you ever get to LA. i would love for you to feel its underground vibe! Sage

[@evewilliams6588]

You look lovely au naturel. Love your video, very informative. Shame you can't just leave your hair loose as it is - some people can get away with it, others can't! Please let me know if you have high or low porosity hair. This helps me to know if the products you like to use would suit me. I love Shea Moisture products too. They have a great range for all types of hair. My hair is high porosity and gets very dry, very quickly. Learning how to lock in moisture has made a HUGE difference.

[@Nickkie-nic]

loved your video. I am like you in that i cut my hair when I break up, get a new job, or just need a change. I am addicted to the creamy crack so I don't stay natural for long. I am usually natural for about a year before the creamy crack starts calling me. I think I keep going back because i do not know what to do with my hair at the in between stage. Then there is years of " you need to have straight hair for work" mantra on automatic in my head. Anyways thank you for your video, i enjoyed it.
