How to Grow Long Natural Hair

[@wendynore6165]

Finally, glad to hear another person say how long you want your hair IN ITS CURLY STATE!! I keep telling my hubby I want my hair to my elbows in curly state. Stay lovely and blessings to you.

[@zubaydasutton8185]

Me to, I love it nappy, curly, coily but I want it longer like that not straight!

[@ccooper1808]

You speak with such confidence on this subject! It just goes to show how important it is to be an expert about your own hair and know what it needs. You really set the example on that. Thank you!

[@naturallyquinn]

Aww thank you! That is very kind of you. Thanks for watching 💜

[@Random.338]

Finally!!! someone who agrees with me about limiting trims. I left my stylist because she demanded to trim my ends a half inch EVERY 6 WEEKS!!! My Hair grows a half inch every 8 weeks!!! Do the math people please. lol. My sister still trims her hair every 6 weeks and My hair is now at least 5 or 6 inches longer than hers is. When we used to have the same length. She just doesn't get it. Stop cutting your hair if you want it to grow :)

[@naturallyquinn]

+Jennifer Laster Preach sis! Thanks for watching ☺️

[@SayStarNu]

I never tell my clients or students they need a trim if their hair is healthy!! I hope your sister only trims when it's needed!!

[@mi-micanterbury2275]

You by far make more sense than the so called "hair gurus" on KZbin thank you♡

[@nancydrew5]

Great tips on length retention. Your hair looks gorgeous and I like your bamboo plant too!

[@naturallyquinn]

Thank you +nancydrew5! And thanks for watching =)

[@dawnmichelledance]

I've definitely have over trimmed my hair over the years. Great tips Quinn!

[@naturallyquinn]

Thank you +Dawn Michelle! And thanks for watching =)

[@TheShanaList]

Absolutely gorgeous. I am back growing my hair naturally and I have decided to do only curly hair styles from now on. I can already tell this is the best decision I have ever made. Thank you for the inspiration

[@naturallyquinn]

+TheShanaList Aww thank you! I'm so excited for you. There is nothing like embracing your natural hair! Good luck on your journey! And thanks for watching =)

[@yayohkamara697]

You and your hair are GORGEOUS!! 😍

[@irajoseph8734]

you've got amazing skin and hair!!

[@naturallyquinn]

+Ira Almeida Thank you 💜

[@artisticsoul2969]

So helpful! Thank you for breaking it down. Your hair and skin looks great.

[@aliciamoore8679]

Thank you for saying length retention as far as growing hair. Also I totally agree with the tight braids and missing edges.

[@ManjiD]

we are always trying to look different in a good way....natural hair is versatile and we should be able to enjoy it

[@naturallyquinn]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@sisteryaya24]

You are a lovely example of just how beautiful natural and healthy hair looks on Black women. Thanks so much!

[@naturallyquinn]

+YaYa Spears Awe, you are very kind! Thank you.

[@tessatheartist33]

depends on how you define 'trimming' I basically dust on the fairy knots and split ends that get caught in my comb. It staves off breakage making my hair easier to detangle and I do it every 5 months. before I started trimming my hair would break off, so trimming for me helped in length retention

[@livingtheDRealm444]

Great video! I had to show my teenager daughter this video, because i want her to know she can still look beautiful with her own beautiful natural hair. Thank you!

[@shonti91]

Everyone is different some ppl need to trim more depending on damage as well. I'd rather cut the damage off than retain damaged length. I want to retain healthy length.

[@naturallyquinn]

+Shonti Gatita Linda Agreed! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Pysees868]

With so much information available, you kept it simple. Looking forward to checking out your other videos/tips.

[@naturallyquinn]

+April Thank you! I hope you enjoy!

[@TheonelovedbyGod]

Goooooaaaallls. I love that you have these goals. I'm subscribed already 😁 😊. Oh my goodness. This video is so relatable and helpful. Thank you 😊.

[@Always_Veronica]

Your hair is gorgeous but your skin is like FLAAAWLESS! Great tips!

[@naturallyquinn]

+LuxeBeauty Thank you!

[@margaretelgin1503]

It is so beautiful to see someone about their long and curly hair

[@naturallyquinn]

+Margaret Elgin Thank you! And thanks for watching =)

[@Imthatjackie0808]

So informative. Appears I am doing several things WRONG to my hair. I'm leaving individual braids in way too long, color my hair and not really paying attn to ingredients in shampoos. Thanks! Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!!!

[@godsflame2]

Very enjoyable video! The less trimming tip is so hard for most people to grasp. They are hard wired to trim on a schedule. Chicoro's book "Grow it" really helps with this concept. Sometimes what we think are splits or bad ends are just lead hairs. She recommends letting the lead hairs get so far and then after so many inches cut back up to the bulk of your hair. Where ever the lead hairs reach, the bulk of you hair length Will get there.

[@homegirlscloset96]

best natural hair video Ive seen, love your style, straight to the point.

[@donnielove2510]

Thank you, that was a lot of good information. I have definitely found that doing a wash n go more often I have not needed a trim in almost 6 mths. When I did straighten my hair my ends were still good. Thanks again

[@naturallyquinn]

No problem. Thanks for watching!

[@vanaphill2454]

Great advice! Especially about the microbraids or keeping braids in too long and losing your edges.

[@naturallyquinn]

+Vana Phill Thank you. And thanks for watching =)

[@vanaphill2454]

NaturallyQuinn you are welcome! I wish Naomi Campbell could grow out her edges as well.

[@LadyVTaughtMe]

This video is hands down the best video I've ever watched on retaining length. I had to pause it just to grab my water bottle and vitamins, like you we're saying "go take them vitamins." I was so horrible to my hair a few yrs back. I trimmed it once a week, after every wash ( 😢 umm that's why it won't grow). The ends we're so dry from dying it. I got happy one day and put heat on it without heat protection. Girl!!!! Now, I'm so gentle with it and it's getting better. Thanks for the clarity, knowledge and laughs. 😅👏👏👏

[@naturallyquinn]

+V.R. Taylor Aww man! The things we put our hair through, lol. Well Im glad you figured out how to manage your hair. Thanks for watching!

[@dragon2195]

I don't understand why people say ( how I grow my hair) lol 😄 a person doesn't grow their hair you hair growth is natural! How you take care of it is up to you. So please say how I keep my hair from breaking off!.

[@williamsj4852]

Hello fellow natural I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your tips. You are so right if your taking good care of your hair and being gentle and not using heat. Good healthy practices. It's so true you don't have to be trimming those ends all the time. I was following the trap oh I have to trim my ends every 3 months. My ends really didn't need trimming. I take darn care of my hair like you, I use no heat. I have been natural for 4 years. I have to say you have such beautiful long natural hair. I will probably trim once a year that's fine for me. Great video fellow natural.😊

[@TheWisdomwoman]

Quinn I want to thank you for your video response and you were right girl, I bought the clay and by the first time I wash I noticed wasn't itchy. REALLY appreciate it the time you take to help your followers, God bless😊

[@naturallyquinn]

+TheWisdomwoman Aww!! This makes me so happy to hear!! I am glad that it worked for you. God bless you too. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@marquita83]

very nice your hair is beautiful thank you for these tips! :)

[@naturallyquinn]

Thank you +marquita83. And thanks for watching!

[@prettypraline]

Thank you for this video! I suffered from alopecia areata (I and md feel like it's triggered by stress) and eczema and had to cut all my hair off a year ago and see a dermatologist. I went completely natural and am trying to get it back to a decent length now that the spots have filled in. I find good health, not stressing, protective styling, moisture (inside and out!), and not getting "scissor happy" have really helped. Thank you for exposing this myth about trimming! I have been told that if I don't trim my hair every 6-8 weeks, I won't retain length and was happy to hear you explain that that's not always the case! I'm subscribing. #feelingencouraged

[@StyleDomination]

Just gorgeous! Thanks for all of the great tips/advice! And that colour is beautiful on you!

[@naturallyquinn]

+Style Domination Aww thank you! You are more than welcome. Thanks for watching =)

[@milamitchell4580]

Thank you Quinn for taking the time to make these videos for us. I daresay they are very helpful. I refer to them whenever I am feeling impatient with my own hair growth, or just need a reminder to keep going. Jamila

[@shawnetteamarie]

Awesome advice Quinn, thanks!

[@valenciashelton6229]

Excellent advice, thank you. Your hair is healthy, full and beautiful.

[@onediafields164]

Your hair is beautiful. You gave very good points but in a different way. Thank you so very much. Great video!

[@I.am.sherane]

I have always wanted to see a natural who has grown hair past waist length while its curly not stretched. I wish you good luck on your hair goal! :)

[@BeautyGraphicDesigner]

Thanks so much for sharing! Many of the tips you states were reassuring but the others I definitely need to get better with! Not to mention I just got heat damage after almost 2 yrs of no flat ironing 😕 So now I'm being safer about it but I think this will be my last flat iron style for a while...I'm going to get back to my old routine of no heat and protective styles! ❤️ your channel!

[@naturallyquinn]

Aw man, that's frustrating smh. I know how hard it is to resist lol. Good luck on your journey and thanks for watching!! +TheFlauntFiles

[@MsChrissyLW]

I read that every six years or so, you have a completely new head of hair due to natural shedding. So, we all have a terminal hair length but it differs from person to person depending on your personal growth rate.

[@naturallyquinn]

+MsChrissyLW that makes complete sense. Thank you!

[@MsChrissyLW]

+NaturallyQuinn You're welcome 😊

[@monaeamber6557]

you are so beautiful 💚 your skin is just glowing

[@naturallyquinn]

+Monaé Amber Thank you!

[@samanthaivy6813]

Thanks for your advice. I usually ask my Mother on how to retain length...since she took great care of my hair when I was a child...Great advice.

[@bullyscentral7287]

what to do about single strand knots...

[@petitesboucles3617]

You have to trim your ends. I did it and my hair is so much better ! But now I love to cut my hair but I want to grow it lol

[@petitesboucles3617]

+Petites boucles you can also just trim the single strand knots but good luck...

[@bullyscentral7287]

yes thank you I trim them just making sure its okay to do it that way .lol

[@LinzeyLiNO]

hey to have minimum single strand knots you should keep your hair hydrated and mosturized

[@bullyscentral7287]

+LinzeyLiN O OK thanks for the tip I will definitely keep that up

[@InetSentinel]

Thanks for the video Quinn! Extremely helpful! Yes, I took notes.

[@naturallynatural3290]

Can you share or do a video on what types of protective styles you wear? Do you ever wear wigs as a form of protective styling and if so can you share a video on how you do that with the volume of hair that you have. Thanks for sharing this video

[@naturallyquinn]

Yes I can and I will. And wigs are my #1 protective style. I am working on my wig video as we speak. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching 😊

[@keelolomill3395]

You are GORGEOUS. Great vid and great tips!

[@naturallyquinn]

+Kay Tong thank you!😊

[@Llertuf11]

Thanks! This was very helpful, especially the part about trimming.

[@nn3003]

"thats how you lost your edges boo boo!" Quinn OMG lmao

[@naturallyquinn]

+abby adesina Lol. Thanks for watching =)

[@nn3003]

NaturallyQuinn thank you for being responsive. Wasn't expecting that! Keep up the great work in modeling and hair career markets. You're so fortunate to be thriving in your industries.

[@ThrifterByDesign]

Girl, yes, yes, yes! Everything you said!

[@naturallyquinn]

Lol. Thanks for watching!

[@TessieDobey]

One thing I had to do with my hair to make it grow, is to keep it moisturized. I swear this really worked for my hair texture. Anyway great video.

[@honeybeejones7559]

What do you use to moisturize your hair?

[@MelD321]

+Pelcia Jones water , alovera juice, coconut water etc

[@MariniSol]

Your hair is gorgeous! And you are really beautiful! Thanks for the tips!

[@cntuli]

Great advise. There were definitely a couple of tips that I could add to my hair care routine. Thanks for sharing :)

[@byebye1584]

so glad I sub, great advice I am going natural I've been transitioning for a while now this has really helped me

[@naturallyquinn]

+Towanna Reed Aww! Welcome to my channel. I am glad this vid was helpful. I wish you all the best on your natural hair journey! =)

[@byebye1584]

+NaturallyQuinn thank you

[@taccora]

I enjoyed this video. I'm not really trying to grow out my hair but it was interesting to note that I do abide by most of these things, which in my mind are common sense. Take care of your physical body, most especially internally, and be cognizant of what you are putting on your hair and then "leave it and it will grow" lol

[@saundra1destination623]

I enjoyed watching your video. It was very informative and your hair looks great! I will implement some of these retention tips. Thank you for sharing your hair journey with us naturals. Be bless!

[@gatubela_nay]

your amazing and I love all your videos 😍😍😍😍

[@naturallyquinn]

Thank you for your kind words +Naymilie Feliz! I'm glad you are enjoying my channel! Thanks so much for watching.=)

[@coyecarrie]

Thank you for this video it was very informative. I'm still new at this you just hit on some important key points. I will keep heat away from my hair.

[@naturallyquinn]

You are more than welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@nicholemack6328]

Your hair is very beautiful. My question is if you have low porosity hair should you cold wash or just use cleaning conditioners?

[@naturallyquinn]

Hi Im sorry, but Im not sure if you are asking me about co washing or washing your hair with cold water. Can you please clarify?

[@nicholemack6328]

Do you think you should cold wash your hair when it's low porosity?

[@trumpgirl440]

Wow you are so all naturally beautiful and kind spirited! Thanks for all the tips. I am definitely going to stop with my routine 3 month trim or reshape that I always thought was a routine healthy thing to do.

[@naturallyquinn]

+Jesus Lover Awe thank you! Im glad this was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@Babyface7024]

Oh My! You are a gorgeous lady and your hair is beautiful. My hair will never be that long. It grows but it is very fine.

[@daphenebaines4702]

Very helpful. I'm curious on how the cowashing works for women like me who battle psoriasis and need shampoo to avoid flare ups....

[@jazzyj904]

Staying away from heat helps but I really wish people would stop making it seem like you're going to totally eff up your hair. If you're NEW to the natural thing / transitioning, of course stay away from is as much as possible but don't let people make you feel like straightening your hair one time or even 2 times a year is going to make you go bald lol

[@KinkyKoilyKayla]

+Tanisha Williams Yes!! I straightened my hair for almost 3 and 1/2 straight. Every month or two I was in the salon getting a silk press. I just have a little bit of heat damage (about 5 small pieces) in the front but not all over my head. I still straighten my hair but not as often. I'm trying for 3 times a year now but heat is not the end of the world. It's hair. It'll grow back

[@memesimone2121]

yes but it only takes 1 time to damage your hair. you may do it 20 times a year but it only takes once for everything to change. I had heat damage from a simple protective style bc the blow dryer she used was ridiculously high. I'm still in recovery.

[@jasminepadgett3883]

Good job! I think a lot of people forget about health being an outside AND inside. But anyways, your hair is stunning and encouraging b/c my transitioning hair is NOT the business lol!

[@naturallyquinn]

+Jasmine Cherry =) Thank you! And thanks for watching!!

[@anastaciamiller906]

Very informative. How often would you suggest shampooing?

[@naturallyquinn]

+Anastacia Miller Thank you for watching! I only suggest shampooing when you feel it's necessary. I shampoo when I notice buildup, which is usually every 2-3 months.

[@claudiamoss7670]

Evening Quinn! Love your advice on how to retain length! I'm doing all except drinking enough water, but I'm headed to grab a glass now!

[@naturallyquinn]

+Claudia'sUniverse Thank you! Its never too late 😊

[@erica21092]

hey! have you had box braids before? I just thought you'd look so cute with them while I was watching.. great vid.

[@BettyBr29]

Your beauty is obvious but your common sense is the reason I subscribed. These youtubers have us believing and doing a whole lot of unnecessary ish*.

[@shawnteehawkins6169]

How often do you wash your hair? Do you do twist outs and if so do you re twist in between washes?

[@Queenalso]

Good advice. Thank you!

[@shareetolbert4140]

Awesome instruction on hair care very informative

[@jeverlysaintel3038]

New subscriber! You're so informative and I will most definitely try to retain moisture. I do use Cantu Shampoo which has no sulfates, but I will try co-washing...I need all the moisture I can get haha

[@handmaiden4yah]

Very informative, and you and your hair are lovely.

[@rodaangeleyes]

You are just absolutely Gorgeous and loving the hair has well. Thanks for all your tips, will certainly incorporate them in my journey. Blessings:)...New sub

[@debraschultz4850]

Thanks your hair is lovely. I have to dye my hair forehead from ear to ear is gray& the rest of my hair isn't. I tried wearing it that way, but it ages me. I have to use more conditioner with hair and oils it tends to dry it out. I found that Alive vitamins have helped my hair grow. I do all of the other steps you do, but my hair is shoulder length now and I hear from you that I'm doing it right, bless you!

[@SammiCakesSmilez]

Good informative video. You have beautiful hair😍. Do you think doing Bantu knots and twists is too much manipulation?

[@naturallyquinn]

Thank you! I think bantu knots and twists are great protective styles.

[@Penelope416]

I think another important thing that may have not been mention is protein. I noticed when I co-washed, a lot my hair retained more length when I balanced the over-moisturization with protein to strengthen my strands. Protein is helpful in keeping the ends strong, which retains more length. Great video!

[@naturallyquinn]

Thanks for your suggestion. I actually stay away from protein myself, but agree that some people do benefit from protein treatments. Thanks for watching!!

[@irresponsibleparent3]

She's so pretty and educated and not judgy it's refreshing.

'and educated' lol.... never seen a comment like this on a non-black persons videos tbh

[@ekongprecious7178]

+Hanna Keinan lol Hanna you're right

[@kimberlywashington2873]

Thank you for the very informative video! Can you please describe how you wrap your hair at night? I have been using the same techniques you discuss, save wrapping my hair at night. I only sleep on satin pillow cases, but I am unsure how to protect my hair any further. I wake up with moisture loss, and I don't know why. Please advise.

[@AKA-lr6cv]

Thanks for the tips! What are some of your go-to/favorite protective styles?

[@naturallyquinn]

+AK A your welcome! My go to protective styles are wearing plats that turn into a braidout and also wearing my wig. Other than that I usually have a wash and go. Though, If I didn't have the limitations that I have because of my job. I would do much more fun things with my hair, like havana and mini twists. Thanks for watching =)

[@bylyn9846]

Love video from scissor happy. Your length check video made me realize I cut off 6inchs = a years growth. I too want long hair/ no heat.

[@naturallyquinn]

+by lyn OMG, I know that's frustrating. But luckily it will grow back! Yea the heat I think is the biggest culprit. Good luck on your journey. Thanks for watching =)

[@olivewangui140]

how often do you moisturize our hair?

Wooooo this video is the truth i have messed my hair up from all the things you just said omg great video very helpful

[@naturallyquinn]

+CurvyChicaNY Lol. Im glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the love!

[@kelseytaylor9104]

I am currently at the TWA stage of my natural hair journey. As my hair grows out notice that my hair becomes difficult to detangle, my hair is frizzy (less definition), and the shape of my cut is awkward. I goto a professional on a as needed basis to get my hair trimmed. Since my trim, my hair is easier to detangle and my curls are more defined. Everyone's hair has different needs.

[@naturallyquinn]

+Kelsey Taylor agreed =) I am happy you found what works for your hair. Thanks for watching =)

[@caynanee370]

Thank you for the video, it included lots of good advice. There are things that I need to do differently as I am trying to grow my hair.

[@sherondas83]

Great Video! I started using the As I Am products after watching your videos and love them. What products are you using now?

[@cleothsongbird]

What shampoo or co-wash conditioner would you suggest? Thanks hun!

[@naturallyquinn]

Hi +Cleo Cenci! I really like Shea Moistures' Clear Start Shampoo. Here is my review on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJeXnoCbf816i9k

[@cleothsongbird]

Thanks hun!

[@FemalePointofView]

How often during your hair growth journey did you use protective styling and which protective styling did you use. I want to try protective styling but I don't know which one to choose.

[@tankamkey]

hello enjoyed your video but question when you do shampoo your hair what brand do you use.

[@nicolenedalgleish8149]

thanks for all your useful notes on natural hair. i'm in the UK - I thought you'd like to know that I recently came across Lee Stafford Ubuntu Oils From Africa Moisturising Hair Butter (available in Boots) and my hair seems to love it. It's quite expensive though. It seems most products that work on my hair is!!! Btw have also recently realised that my hair absolutely LOATHES coconut oil ... after nearly 2.5 yrs of fairly regular use! I'm 3c/4a (although can relate to 3d LOL) low porosity too....

[@bluemickey23]

Thank-you for speaking the truth about trimming hair. I think 3 to 4 months is excessive, especially if you're not using direct heat.

[@KymsueBrown]

Thanks for the information. Do add oils to your scalp and hair ends when preserving your w/g?

[@naturallyquinn]

+Kymsue Brown your more than welcome! Thanks for watching. Now I don't add any oils because I don't want the oil to react with the other product in my hair.

Hi Naturally Quinn, I have the same hair texture, except for in the back middle section. My question is what product or products can I use for an itching scalp? It mainly itch in the top middle portion of my head.
