HOW TO GROW HAIR | TRUTH No One Tells You !! Growth oil DON’T “grow” hair (honest journey)

[@qhadirakissangouchumo7785]

“It took years”📝 some people just watch those miracle routine videos hoping their hair will grow in 3 days when the most important thing for your hair is to be healthy

African Pride works perfectly for me. Especially the leave-in cream. It softens my hair and makes my high porosity 4C Coily hair rich black and moisturised. I use Aloe vera juice too. My hair loves it! And I have my own blend of oil which has helped my hair become thicker and I grew an inch while in braids and massaging every day. To grow Your hair takes a lot of work and dedication but it works!

Cantu was horrible for my hair. The ingredients are awful and the moisture is lack luster.

[@Afrolatinalexi]

I had the same problem q Cantu...it felt strawlike...answer it was the 1st product bought after going natural

[@mwapek]

Personally, the Cantu leave-in conditioner (the shea butter formula) is the only leave-in conditioner that my 4c hair LOVES!!! And I've tried soooo many leave-in conditioners in my 4-5 year hair growth journey. It's crazy how products work differently on everyone's hair. But I would say, if you have the time and money, see what products work for you. Cantu wasn't for your hair but for some people like me, it works perfectly.

[@shilohwaite891]

Same here

same i think it's because it has a lot of shea butter which is super great for natural hair

This isn’t true. Find what works for your hair. Hair oiling has thickened my hair and has literally grown it out in the past five months I’ve been using it, I don’t have to wait 3 years. My hair is down to my back now.

[@wanjawaf]

What oils do you use and how often?

[@vennettegloud3128]

Thank you, lovely young lady!! Everyone is different. My hair would not grow for over 50 years of my life. With a combination of nutrition AND certain oils Now it’s growing down my back from using essential oils on my scalp, mixed with castor and other carrier oils. AND certain organic oils and creams on the strands. My hair is now growing down my back in my late 60’s. I was a hard case because my hair never grew as a child, so I didn’t think I had the genetic “signature”, if you will, for growth of hair. I’m not saying anything to dispute. I want to encourage black women to not give up on your crowning glory! 👑👑👑…and yes, water 💦 water 💧 water💦 ❤️🙏🏽🥰

Oils do work for hair growth, the only problem is that a lot of you are using sealing oils instead of moisturizing oils not knowing or understanding the difference between sealing oils and moisturizing oils or how to use them correctly which is where the misconception of oils don't grow hair come from.

My sisters, try Keratase hair line. I stopped shedding, my hair is soft after each deep conditioner and the products do what the company says. It is a high end L’Oréal brand. If you are trying to be cheap, try Mizani. Mizani is also owed by L’Oréal and has same ingredients or similar to Keratase. If you don’t like Mizani, try L’Oréal professional brand. Same formula as Kerastase at a fraction of the price. Please stop using Walmart or beauty supply products if you want good results and hair growth.

[@J_mela]

Girl, I started with easy styles .. I learned to braid when I was 8 years old, however it was just for fun, and I got better by watching KZbin videos

[@ayeoritset5049]

I think sometimes we get frustrated with styling our hair because we’re trying to manipulated into something it’s not and that will naturally be more difficult. Braid out, twist out, rod sets. They are all manipulative hair styles. Once I learned to love my hair the way it grows out my scalp it was a game changer. Yes it was one of the more difficult things I’ve done with my hair but it was worth it. I moisturize my hair and that’s it. No “styling” needed.

[@setapartaay925]

I was the same way but sis, practice makes PERFECT!! I was soooo frustrated because I couldn’t style my hair. Then we went into quarantine. I was studying KZbin tutorials like I was studying for an exam. You’ll get there, just have patience with yourself. I believe in you because if I can do it, you can too😉

I also learnt mental attitude is everything. Change your "I can't" to "I can" and you'll be surprised! I've started learning so many things since corona, things I would have never imagined I was capable of and yet I'm almost 40! It's never too late to start.

[@vennettegloud3128]

There’s still hope. My hair did not start growing until I was in my mid 50’s. Before that, my hair barely grew more than 6 inches. And that was the longest part. Now, thanks to a few KZbin creators, it’s growing down my back. I have had some setback, but mostly because of stress and the c19 thing. But now it’s thriving again. Peppermint essential oil has been proven in studies to be twice as power as minoxidil. Just mix it with your favorite carrier oil.
