Indigenous Strandz Haircare Routine Review

Hey y’all! In this video, I will be sharing my experience of trying the Indigenous Strandz Haircare Routine, which consists of twisting your hair and using natural moisturizing and cleansing products, such as castor oil, aloe vera juice, and flaxseed gel. I have done this routine for 1.5 years, and I have achieved the best results; My hair grew from shoulder-length to the current length shown in this video (past bra-strap length, approaching waist length). Please try this routine you won’t regret it! Thank you Indigenous Strandz for showing black women how to care for their hair with such a simple and low cost routine with amazing results!

@torionastewart great video. I want to regrow my hair using this regimen. How would you advise I go about it? I can’t twist my hair as yet, it’s just a buzz cut now.

[@IndigenousStrandz11]

Hii! I just saw this! Your name!!!!!! My name is Torriana! I never heard anyones name close to mines!…. Love your hair your doing such an AMAZING JOB!!!!!!

​@torionastewart Adorable! I love Indigenous Strandz too.

[@OrealeXO]

Your hair in the front is mid back length and the piece in the back is waist length! You went from shoulder length to mid back/waist length in 1 1/2 years! That’s crazy awesome.

[@torionastewart]

Yes, this routine is amazing! Thank you for watching!❤️

[@ericaneighbors6764]

Based off anatomy it’s waist length all the way around. I’m blew she thought it was bra-strap length as it’s a good 4-6 inches longer than that! ❤

[@daniellejordan9847]

Sis, that is WAIST LENGTH. Don't be afraid to shout it out! You did it!

[@torionastewart]

Thank you!!❤️

Shoulder length to waist length in a year, wow!! You retained every centimeter of growth. I’m definitely getting that aloe vera juice!

[@Iheartdolls4ever]

I have been doing the mini twist for a year and grew my hair past my shoulders, I stopped for a while and my hair started breaking off from manipulation. Indigenous strandz definitely found the key to growing out natural hair especially 4c and 4b hair!

[@torionastewart]

Thank you for watching!❤️ Yes, low manipulation and keeping moisture is key!✨

Hair is beautiful, Sis! Made me remember when I only used virgin shea butter to twist my hair and how much healthier it was. I bought into the products and have way too many now. I'm much older and you have inspired me! I love my Hebrew Israelite family!

[@torionastewart]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad that I have inspired you to continue on your natural hair journey with minimal products!❤️

Wonderful progress. That’s definitely waist length!! I love Indigenous Strands, I’ve been following her for a couple of years now.

[@torionastewart]

[@patiencechigumadzi]

I was thinking the same Definitely waist length

[@heyo3846]

I love her too. So inspirational !!! Love the vibes. My hair has been at butt length twice in 10 yrs. Cut twice to shoulder length but growing it again!! Lolol

[@torionastewart]

Hey! Oh wow, that is so awesome!! Thank you for watching!❤️

[@gloriaaguh5885]

Question: What's the point of growing your hair to butt length and then cutting it repeatedly onto grow it back to butt length repeatedly. Why not focus on maintaining butt length hair for a long time. That to me is more impressive. Plus the info you can give on how to maintain and retain butt length hair while keeping it in loose styles/ out will be mind-blowing. Just saying.

[@heyo3846]

@@gloriaaguh5885 my hair grows fast! And I enjoy the change! I could keep it at butt length for forever, but I do get bored with it and want a change. I focus on the health of it. I actually enjoy caring for my hair and oiling it. No heat. And I keep it simple. Wash n go. It'll be butt length again by next year, I don't worry about it. Lol Peace n love to you!! Xo

[@SimplyMee..228]

@@gloriaaguh5885 this is so funny to me because women of all lengths of hair love to switch things up. I’ve never been but length but I’ve been mid back length several times. And every time I cut my hair people act like it’s a problem. Just like women that dye their hair different colors , wear multiple styles of wigs /extensions. Long hair can become a lot of work. It’s hot in the summer depending on how big your hair is … then after a few years of short hair, u want long hair. If a woman went from short to long wigs no one questions it. It’s just hair people as long as your alive it will grow… 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi dear I too have been following Indigenous Strands for the pass two years n yes I have made some modification to my routine. I no longer use aloe vera (I do get the alcohol vera leaf frm my garden ) because it present a reddish hue in my hair. I'm using a sea moss hair product right now tht is doing wonders for my hair. my hair part is curly n part is slightly straight.

I’m glad you found your way girl 💕💕💕💕 I don’t want to follow it because I can’t stand shrinkage so I do mini braids with beads 😂- but I need to see because the length retention is thereeee!!

You can prevent shrinkage by banding your twists or wrapping them around your head with bobby pins at night! But I completely understand that shrinkage is not desirable by everyone! Thanks for watching!❤️

Do you have a link for the black soap?

[@Long_May_They_Raine]

I was giggling a little bit bc I noticed you missed a twist in your twist out, and that happens to me so often 😭 Your hair is absolutely stunning! Our routines are similar but different, I used to use aloe vera juice but I switched to Ayurvedic hair care, so I use a tea and an Ayurvedic oil on my scalp, and I make both myself. I’m DEFINITELY going to add the flaxseed gel on my ends moving forward though!! 👀

[@torionastewart]

Haha, yes I always miss 1 or 2 twists - It never fails! You definitely should try the flaxseed gel, it is a game-changer for me!

[@coolguyopalb]

Yesss this video was all the inspiration I needed to start this indigenous strandz journey myself! Do you put oil or aloe Vera juice on your scalp with these twists??

[@torionastewart]

Hey! I have a video explaining how I moisturize my hair with those products ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2G7YpiMaLSEpKc ). Thank you so much for watching! Wishing you the best on your twisting journey!❤️

[@torionastewart]

[@toonietime8239]

I don't allow my twists to lock either. Locs are too permanent for me; I get bored! I have to redo my twists within about 11 days or sooner, or else I'll have a loc-a-thon on my head and will have to sit for hours untangling strands (type 3 and type 4 combo). But if you want your hair to grow faster, use coffee. My hair has grown over two inches in two and a half weeks just from spraying my dark roast caffeinated coffee on my scalp and massaging it in and leaving it to dry. I do it about three times a week. Coffee shampoo also works, as well as coffee oil. I use extra virgin olive oil (imported) to make my coffee oil. My olive oil is a rich grassy green and has a beautiful olive bouquet. I've tried other oils, even unfiltered handmade castor oil imported from Jamaica, and none of them did nothing for my hair. My olive oil though? It is amazing. My goal is to see if I can get up to 4 inches of growth a month but not less than three. Once I reach hip length, I'm not allowing it grow past that because I won't be able to do anything with it past that length.

[@torionastewart]

Hey! Oh wow, I will definitely have to try coffee oil on my hair. I’ve heard great things about it on KZbin, but I try to stick with what I know works best for my hair, but it seems like it’s worth trying. Thanks for sharing!❤️

[@joannahinds5973]

So when you started this journey, you rewisted and remoisturize your hair every 2 weeks after you realized the 1 month or 3 weeks was not working ?, But now that your hair has grown longer and gotten use to the moisture you rewist and remoisturize once a month? Just curious. Love the journey❤ ❤❤❤

[@shadevrutaal]

I’m happy for you, i have a problem with twists or maybe it’s opposite 🤣, but the ends of my twists unravel here and there, i can’t just twirl my ends since noticing some texture changes. So now i have to use perm rods and i stopped because it was too much to do on a regular basis because i have 2 daughters with a bunch of hair. But i will try it on their hair then. It their a specific video from indigenous strands that shows her routine?

You are beautiful my young Queen ❤❤ would you be able to share with me where do i start on my own journey? Meaning, do i start with a trim then go into a natural twists and use the products as recommended?

[@torionastewart]

Hey Beautiful! Thank you! I started with a trim, but I still had heat damaged ends. I was able to reverse the heat damage due to this twisting journey. I talk about this more in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqqWoHh4iMx7arM). Ultimately, you can start with a trim, or no trim, it doesn’t matter. My hair was able to turn from heat damaged hair into all healthy strands with consistent use of the products mentioned and twisting my hair. Hope this helps!❤️

[@Supreme-jg3xs]

I’m so late to your video, I just started using Jamaican black castor oil, it that good?

[@torionastewart]

Jamaican black castor oil can definitely be used instead of the regular castor oil. I started off using the regular one, so I continue to use it.

[@naturalbeauty4082]

Hey did you ever cut your ends when doing this challenge for the year and half?

[@torionastewart]

No, I trimmed my hair due to heat damage right before my very first set of twists (the start of my twisting journey), but I have never trimmed or cut my hair after that, and I never will.
