[@faithwilliams7978]

Great video. Your hair is both insanely long AND thick. I FROZE when you said that you don't trim your hair. It runs counter to what everyone else seems to say. I will listen to YOU, however, because you have the results to back up what you say. Keep your ends protected and healthy at all costs and you don't need to trim as much. I wonder how many of us are cutting off inches upon inches of healthy hair. No wonder it feels like our hair isn't making progress! Thank you.

[@joynosa5810]

She trims her hair once a year. Cyn doll says it too. Most important thing is moisture hydration and protection for the ends. I stop trimming my hair quarterly and seeing great results. I just hydrate and moisturizer my ends even in braids twice a week and the retention is massive. I took down my braids few days ago after 5 weeks and was shocked at how hydrated and healthy my ends were. Am in tiny cornrows with very little added extension and my scalp is breathing easier. Taking it down next year January ending but uss wigs occasionally. No more trimming for me till December 2022.

[@nanaesio.nyarkoh2858]

I’m just here to share my testimony! I did your twisting hair routine for one year and my hair went from armpit length to below my bra strap in ONE YEAR like sis. People still discredit my dedication and routine to genetics, which is annoying because like, have they seen my mother and aunties’ hair like💀 no, it’s understanding your hair and doing what it wants, and thank you so much for showing me how! It was your knee length video that gave me the push I needed, and I haven’t looked back since! I’m also really grateful for this video because when I took the twists down and did a blowout, I was so lost and didn’t know how to maintain it in humid African weather without losing all my ends to splits and knots, so last week I ended up going back to the twist routine, which I’ll do for another year after my four month hiatus. I did notice that once I stopped the twists, my hair was stuck at the same length the whole time, meanwhile with the twists, during that period I would’ve gained at least three inches, so I’m going back to twists until I can figure out how to keep my hair growing and not breaking when I blow it out Thank you once again, my comment is becoming so long 😅

Yeah my hair is also 4b/c but mostly c and thick. It also seems to thrive stretched/blown out other than being in braids. Natural and curly, my shrinkage disrespects the detangling and it's harder to keep moisturized.

I literally had the most painful detangling session last night. And it was ALL MY FAULT. I'd rather it be my fault than it happen at a salon 😂😂. I love my hair in its natural 4b non stretched state but it reaked so much havoc on the tangles. I had to hand detangle each and every stran to the best of my possibility. Because combs and brushes do not seem to be my friend. Finger detangling takes Hella longer but I do think if I used a brush or comb in my unhappy annoyed mood I would've ripped out alot of hair 😅😭. I now use african threading underneath my scarfs to keep it stretched and avoid heat. I also melt my shea butter now so it doesn't act as a locking gel kinda.

[@virginiamontaldo440]

Hi, first of all let me say Wow!!! to your incredible mane!! I'm not black nor do I have type 4 hair (I'm only in the 2 range...) but I really really love your techniques and results. And what I love the most about that is that you use DIY stuff and have an easy routine. I too would like to grow very long hair and possibly do it with a DIY and easy, fuss-free routine. I am trying stuff and trying to take the hair care matter 100% in my own hands (or as close as reasonable) without relying on industrial stuff. If I use industrial stuff without paying much attention (...what I've done until recently...), my growth stops at waist level with damaged ends and I want to get past that. I don't want to spend a lot of money on exclusive, hard-to-find hair products either. So my question is, do you think going DIY is reasonable for a newbie like me? And secondly (I too am high porosity), should I worry about hygral fatigue or re-moisturize with abandon? I want my ends to be strong, not fray as always. Your hair and hair game rock!!

[@IndigenousStrandz11]

Awwww thank you I absolutely appreciate that❤️ you got this girl I’m cheering for you 🥳

[@virginiamontaldo440]

@@IndigenousStrandz11 Thanks! Do you have some tips for sealing the ends? Should I use water (or water based conditioner) if hair is dry, then an oil? Do you use flax gel to seal ends as well, and if yes in which order? I'm type 2 high porosity with lots of flyways and volume the moment my hair is stripped of moisture. Sealing ends is important to mantain moisture but with all the info around I feel like a preschooler stumbling into advanced calculus...
