1. Fenugreek seeds- soak in water for 24-36hs and use in spray bottle to hydrate hair daily 2. Don't comb kinks, put in protective styling (that lasts 4-6 weeks). I.e. cornrows, crochet, braids. At most, use wide tooth comb 3. Use natural products 4. Scalp massage with olive, avocado and coconut oil for penetration. Jojoba and grapseed oil for slip and shine 5. Conditioner with slip like sauve coconut 6. Have a wash routine. Don't brush when really wet or really dry. Use blow-dry tension method or threading 7. Detangle hair before seeing any stylist, or do ur own hair 8. Moringa powder in smoothies and teas 9. Leave your hair alone 10. Go natural

I found you 3 days ago& I am now binge watching everything you've done. As a dark skinned 4c hair having girl it gives me comfort in your experience because I can relate & I believe what you say will work because you look like me (representation is everything) I have hit a road block in my hair growth journey & I figured my hair would not grow anymore. I did the "big chop" in hopes to retrain, strengthen & regrow my hair. I have been up almost 2 days researching Fenugreek & adding it to my hair regimen. I am have purchased your moisturizer & I'm making your suggestions my hair bible. A woman's hair especially a black woman's hair is verrry important to who she is & how she moves. I have prayed on this & I know this will make a big difference. I am an avid follower now. I am so grateful I found your channel.

My honest opinion is that. Individually we have to take pieces of information from here and there. Pieces of routine from here and there. Pieces of this and that. Get to know your hair. Love your hair. Own your hair. Pay attention to your hair. Be patient with your hair. Leave your hair. Figure out what works for your hair and stop minding other people's hair business. That's what worked for me.

So true becauae my hair and skin hates coconut oil but I have friends that only use that!

This is the first natrual hair 4c grower I finally stayed and listen to. Many 4c youtubers that make videos on how to grow hair long were pretty much born with it or had long perm hair before, so I never listened. Your pictures, steps, and video was very informative.

[@truthserum1271]

If you don't like crochet; wigs and weaves do the job.

I absolutely love the fact that you didn't talk down on yourself and you embraced your hair texture and you proved my brother wrong that "4c hair doesn't grow" the reason why our black women's hair doesn't grow is because the relax it and leave there hair out and comb it.

[@ellegoddessessentials2547]

W.Cinderea I gave my hair a thorough brushing with conditioner in the shower to get all the tangles out before I started finger detangling, also it makes it easier to finger detangle if you do it before it has a chance to get super tangled.

I love that you're speaking about the health of your hair, follicles, shaft, and cuticles. Your passion is infectious. You should not have to go through all that...before... you see your stylist!!!! Girl, that breaks my heart that your stylist isn't interested in the health of your hair. Fire them!!!!!!!!!! A great hairdresser teaches you how to properly care for your hair by doing just that. I loooove my hairdresser, I'm almost at operation waist length because of her. Even when I had to stop going to her because I couldn't afford to, she taught me how to properly care for my 4c hair. Stylist/hairdressers that don't have this type of passion...need to find a new line of work.

FACTSSS

[@MsMarshall1000]

For the first time ever in my life, and I am 62, I got crochet braids. I took them out myself and did not know that there were some braids, of my own hair that I did not take down. I washed my hair and it matted. In a panic I pulled out my hair trying to comb through it and now its thin. I retained some of the length but the thickness has gone. I was so angry with myself and now I am afraid of protective styles, such as, braids. I always wanted them and when I finally had them I screwed my hair up. I am going to start this journey again and try to learn about my own hair. I have been natural for at least 13 years. Recently I have been doing a lot of blow outs. I do not know what to do with my hair. I was going to cut it all off, then I remembered and you clarified that, a woman's hair is her glory. My hair is still healthy, I think, but every since that incident last year it is thinning. I am excited to use your products and begin a hair routine. My stylist does not treat my hair with love and tenderness. She pulls and tugs. I am going to take control of my own hair journey and get it back.

[@lus4277]

I thought i was the only one who questions hairstylists’ method of combing hair!!!! Unbelievable, heartless, careless! How can they advice me after that?!?!

[@LazyAmericanWoman]

I disagree about the protective styling. My hair is almost tailbone length and I have been washing my hair every week for the past 3 years and i put in my weekly twist and my hair is moisturized and my ends are tucked aka protected and for the entire week! you don’t have to have your hair tucked away for 4-6 weeks for it to be considered a protective style that’s false information ma’am! other than that nice tips Edit: also just want to add, do what works for YOU! your hair does not have to be in a protective style in order for it to grow! take care of your ends and RETAIN that length with TLC 🥰

4-6 weeks? I’ve tried that and my hair breaks off more when I don’t get that shedded hair out sooner. I have to wash my hair once a week and now it tangles less, less knots. Much healthier. 4-6 weeks won’t work for everyone.

You're so right about not detangling on wet hair, esp if you have fine hair like me. Even though our hair is stronger than straight hair and can be combed wet without being ripped to shreds doesn't mean it's still not in a very weak state. It's best to detangling on DAMP/slightly wet hair period. Your hair isnt constantly shrinking up on it's self either like it does when wet=more progress. I learned that the hard way when I used a tangle teezer in shower😭

Let's talk about how sometimes aside from pulling the hell out of your hair, stylists chop your ish when it's just supposed to be "a trim". This has happened to me twice now. Never again... Happy to have found your page girl. Thank's for all of the tips. Do you have any success stories/pics sent to you before and after your followers tried your advice?

[@llllllllllilillii]

hell no! I wouldn't let anyone cut my hair ever. it's a trick. i cut it or it doesn't get cut hahaha

[@nnbb2763]

Love

[@faithbankole4851]

The tip for me was the stylist one. My hair stylist used to use that tiny comb to tear out all my new growth. I've been walking around a 3 years natural with 1 year's worth of growth. Currently looking into styling my own hair.

[@batgirlp5561]

Same. I had a stylist detangle and blow out my 4z hair with a denman. I told her 'noooooooooo!' But she said I got this. That was a year ago and I'm just now recovering. 😥😥

[@mandymiller136]

Wow! My hair has grown SO much over the last year & my tip....? Leave it the hell alone! I TOTALLY agree with you! I box braid (not 2 small) & spray my roots with S-Curl (any curly perm spray) & I redo it every 4-6 weeks, my hair has never grown so much....so yeah, fingers, combs, brushes to a minimum. Oh, plus the BAGGY method is a game changer!

[@yaelboussamba3942]

What is the baggy method please ?

@@yaelboussamba3942 leaving conditioner on your hair then putting a shower/plastic cap over it so heat can form under the cap and open the hair pores to let the nutrients in. some people keep the cap on overnight

[@lynp5988]

Don't obsesse over your hair. I swear you will go insane 😂. I did that and my hair stayed the same length for awhile once I stop obsessing over it. It started to grow again. Now my hair is 20 to 22 inches long. Never thought I could grow my hair this long. Now I'm reaching for a hip bone length.

[@tavernalounge3385]

I really love your sense of humor, I like the fact that you are real, I laughed so hard when you said "my hair grows and yours don't" lol and then said you are probably not going to come back but pls do"🤣. You are funny girl, love from Nigeria

[@lakashalaxey7017]

I thank god for you!! You are helping me. I just done the big chop a few days ago and now I’m watching your videos like everyday! Please continue what your doing and god will bless you for your selfless sacrifices.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@d1mples91]

I cut my hair two weeks ago and it's already growing back super fast. My hair grows back fast anyways. I already had that kinky hair, even with I had process and relaxed my hair, I still had that nice curl pattern. I wanted to try something different and here it is, chopped off. I use aloe vera, honey, Jamaican Castor Oil, and olive oil. I had to experiment with different hair products. What works for you doesn't mean it going to work for everyone else. And I make sure to massage my hair every night also, it helps stimulate hair growth also.

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

You are doing a great job taking care of your hair! I would also suggest taking collegen everyday. I put collegen power in my coffee and it has made my hair stronger and that also means less change of breakage.

[@QueenIZA]

I am about to comb out my locs of 8 years! I have 4c hair and I started locs because I had no clue how to manage it in its natural state. So now that my hair is almost waist length I am reaaaaddddyyyy😭😭😭

[@nazikiwe8259]

Someone may have already asked this but how often do you wear your hair out and enjoy your natural hair?

[@tmcurly]

I agree with all your points except the one about natural products. Products do NOT matter whatsoever. You can use any type of products (even heavy chemical ones) and still grow long beautiful hair. Natural products do not work for everyone and vice versa. People should stick to what works natural or not. Also MOST conditioners with Slip have silicone - not natural at all.

[@aliennvomet]

I fully agree with you on that one. A youtube by the name of Indigenous Strandz grew her hair all the wait to her knees and only uses AVC and another product (cannot remember at the moment) to cleanse her hair once a week, only styling her hair in twists and leaving it that way

[@MrsNicolas]

@@aliennvomet but she grew it with predominantly natural products that are silicone free. I've noticed a pattern, especially with type 4 hair chicks, the more natural the ingredients, the longer their hair becomes. The looser the curl, the more they can get away with using synthetic ingredients.

[@productjunkie1018]

Sorry but the ingredients do matter big time

[@tmcurly]

How about what lies beneath the weave(Jennifer)? She has 4c fine strands? Long and thick. She does not pay attention to ingredients. She uses Redken Anti-snap leave in which has mineral oil. There is Ms Mississippi who grew her hair after big chop to waist length in 3 years. She uses hair grease and head and shoulders shampoo.Others are Daphe Madyara (even though she doesn't do hair videos anymore), Craving curly kinks, Obaa Ya Jones, Naturally Nica her hair is around 30" (not all natural ingredients but her cleanser/conditioner is natural), West African Baby, and another youtuber with very long 4c she is Nigerian/American but is also a doctor. Her hair is tailbone. I forgot her name. She went to Stanford I think.

[@tmcurly]

@@productjunkie1018 To some degree yes but the key is moisture and proper handling of hair.

[@amarie1852]

Wash day 2x a week will bless ones hair health immensely !! Trust

So true what you said abt these hair stylists rushing and breaking your hair. It’s ridiculous how much hair I’ve lost going to a professional. The last time i went i detangled and moisturized my hair prior and it made a HUGE difference now i only go for trims and i blow dry my hair b4 i go
