How I grew my hair to mid back length| Natural Hair growth tips for type 4 hair

[@goodmorninggurl]

1. Finger detangle 95% of the time 2. Cut away tangled strands with scissors 3. Use heat less. Use heat protector and low heat when styling 4. Always moisturizing your hair : deep conditioning, use moisturizing cream every week or leave in conditioner. 5. Allow your hair to rest from frequent hair style changes 6. Keep your scalp clean. 7. Patience. Don't know who needs this❤️

[@nakokonya250]

You’re right💯

[@serenabetala9372]

It's 5 am, watched maybe 20 of these type of videos and this is the first one that hasn't made me feel like I'm a sinner for the way I've been treating my hair. It's more of a gentle nudge in the right direction. Thank you!

[@nakokonya250]

Awww, thank youu❤️❤️ most of us have been at that point where we weren’t taking the best care of our hair. Tbh, even now I still have times when I slack a bit. It’s all part of the journey. The important thing is to not give up.

[@ngoza-oo5ui]

I hear you too, am actually shocked. When l started listening, l was expecting to hear a lot of tedious ingredients.

[@rue2599]

I'd like to mention that hair growth can be increased, given that a person's hair isn't growing to its fullest potential. I've seen this myself with length checks. When I do daily scalp massages, eat a balanced diet, exercise 45 minutes a day, take all my Vitamin B's, and use Onion juice and rosemary oil, my hair growth rate doubles from 1 cm to 2.5 cm, and 3 cm on my right side per month. If I do none of that, I get only a cm per month. If you want your hair to grow, develop a routine, diet, and lifestyle that supports your fullest hair growth potential. Your hair will only grow faster if its nutritional needs weren't being fully met, and then they were. Overall, length retention is key. Retaining growth is vital to having long hair. Why grow all those inches to lose half of them over time?

[@sjsmith4076]

Very refreshingly honest. No one product makes your hair grow. Most videos are telling you to buy these different to make your hair grow. Thank you for being honest

[@Alexxluv]

This was great advice, I fell off my hair routine but this reinforced that I was on the right path. Thanks and you're absolutely beautiful 😍

Another tip is to take multivitamins. Everyday for the majority of 2022, I drank a vitamin drink containing biotin and multiple other vitamins. My hair burst into bloom. Before it was frazzled from trichotillomania.

Yes! I'm happy to find a video that emphasizes finger detangling - I use a comb every 3 months when I have to re-straighten (I straighten it to support more oil coating the strands it still grows very well,) but no longer ripping / breaking my hair daily is all I needed as I was moisturizing but not getting much results before.

finger detangling is a game charger! I have 3 girls each with Mid-back to waist length hair... I occasionally run a comb through their hair but for the most part combs are for parting in my house... finger detangling has allowed me to gently care for their hair and has aided in me being able to grow their long thick 4c hair to the lengths that they are now

Is it nice to wash a natural hair with warm water?

[@evewamuyu8724]

Do you braid and if yes how do I moisturize hair that is braided? I mean braiding with external hair..please assist

[@oghenewoma4027]

@@evewamuyu8724 Personally, I do mini braids buh with no extension. I have extremely fine hair and it breaks my hair like crazy. Plus my body chemistry is such that when water touches the braiding hair while my hair is in it, it begins to smell and I can't contain that. However I have a few tips for those that use external hair. A spray bottle, leave in/ moisturizer and oil/butter(that's if u are ok with it ) is enough. If you are having a probelm with the products sipping into the braids just mix the leave in and a lil bit of oil in the spray bottle with water then u can spray it on the braids( just try squeezing gently so the mixture can enter well into the braids) u can however still do this by spraying the water and applying the leave in/ moisturizer differently ( Ur choice) buh how many times u do this in a week depends on how long Ur hair is able to retain moisture(ie not get dry). Buh one thing is for sure, braiding hair can actually be drying to Ur actual hair. Hope this would help( my own point of view tho u don't av to do everything I said☺️) love and light❤️ Edited: 1) try sectioning Ur hair while moisturizing so u don't leave out any braid 2) just moisturize the part where Ur hair length reaches in the braiding hair. No need to moisturize the braiding hair itself cos that would just b a waste of product.

My hair was almost waist length in September of 2022. I got braids for the first time and they were too heavy and weren’t braided correctly. The gel that was used matted and knotted my hair with the braid hair. My hair is now at my bra strap and very thin. Never again. It’s going to take me at least 2 years to get my hair healthy again. I’ve trimmed it 3 times in the last 6 months. I was so upset at the condition of my hair. I felt angry and sad. But then I remembered that people are dealing with serious health issues and at least I can grow my hair back. But that beautician was bragging about how she could grow my hair to my tailbone. I don’t want hair that long but I do want my hair to be healthy. I’m now using Olaplex which is awesome. I honestly feel that beautician did me dirty on purpose. She needs to get a new profession.

[@reneejohnson7742]

I had the exact same issue with two different beauticians! 2-3 years apart. I grew my hair waist length twice and I told myself never again the first time. This time I mean it 😣

Finally a realistic video! 🙌 They key to retention is nutrients (food makes hair essentially!!) and not stressing your hair!! I would always have short broken crown hair, it wasn't until I stopped wearing my hair in a bun and started to wear them in two braided ponytails that it started to grow healthy! Everytime I put it in a bun, the hair that was feeling the most pressure from gravity by holding up the bun was the crown section!! No oils or hair mask can ever fix that! Not only that, but I've also had less fairy knots and the hair is so easy to detangle because it remains in a detangled state as its in a fixed position due to the braids. Its such a simple solution but I was brainwashed with buying all these nonsense overpriced natural products that, yes may have made it feel softer, but did nothing else.

I use oils to soften my hair and can you tell me what products you use then?

I’m glad I came across your channel. Your hair looks amazing! 🤩 What types of hair styles have you done over the years to prevent breakage? Cause braids cause a lot of breakage in my experience. Thanks for the video!

[@nakokonya250]

Thank you❤️ my go to styles are braids and twists with my own hair. They’re so easy to do and convenient. I’m also not adding any extra weight to my hair strands whenever I do hairstyles with my own hair. I too used to experience a lot of breakage with braids. There was a time in my hair journey when I had sworn that I will never do braids again due to all the breakage, I think I did a whole video about it😂 Eventually I started doing knotless braids which don’t add as much weight to the hair strands and I always avoid braiding tightly no matter the hairstyle. For me it comes down to 4 things when it comes to protective hairstyles: 1. Is it too tight? 2. Are my ends protected? 3. Does it need constant manipulation? 4. Can I still easily moisturize my hair? I hope my super long response kinda helps😅❤️

[@monifagilbert3613]

How do you moisturize your hair while it is styled?

[@commonsensecorner7275]

My hair is longer than it’s ever been in my 48 years of life! My diet has been better than the average American for around 20 years. However, I didn’t stay on top of my vitamins, nor juicing as consistently as I do now. Joe Cross’ Mean Green is what I’ve been juicing since last May! I lost weight and my hair grew, all done in a healthy way!!!

[@jenniegauthier4344]

How do you personally stretch your hair? I usually use the Revlon brush.

[@DivineDestiny23]

The main reason for MY hair growth is keeping it moisturized and less manipulation I learned that from personal experience. What you said is true there is no such thing as a hair growth miracle product.
