[@tkgreen418]

I developed traction alopecia from braids. Went to the dermatologist and they recommended rosemary oil before rogaine. I've seen great results!

[@blackqueen5201]

It does work and the clove water or oil

[@SE-gs6gd]

I second this. Rosemary in general is great for hair and skin. I use a tea made from steeping fresh rosemary and distilled water for my locs and scalp and rosemary oil added in. It works great and smells fresh. So I disagree with her on this one.

[@kaleblonde]

In the early stages, the best treatment for traction alopecia is to limit or eliminate hairstyles that pull on the hair. You may not have needed Rogaine in the first place

[@nancya5260]

I am a testimony of hair care; oils, prepoo, & generally taking good care. Before COVID, I went to a hairdresser regularly. My hair wasn't doing badly. However, once COVID hit, I started taking care of my hair at home, using natural products. Two years later, I went to get a trim, and my hair dresser was shocked to see how much fuller, thicker & healthier my hair was. No more salon visits, only to get trims. Oils alone don't work, good care & regular routine does.

[@kdrichar]

My hair is same. Waist length on my own. Going to salon did not work. Only for trims.

[@cheryls.booker3336]

The same thing happened to me. My hair started to thrive when I stopped going to my hair stylist. I now have a whole new head of healthy hair.

[@kendraglowy75]

Facts. A clean detoxed scalp, massaging the scalp, glycerin and rice water saved my hair. Which fell out completely after losing my mom. Stress and mourning took a toll on me and my hair but that's what saved it in the end.

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

Yup!!! I've had this experience as well and I love it!! 😍

[@watcheiress]

Now...I'm all about oil. I think it aids in hair maintenance and growth because of what's in it. However, it's not the end all be all. The key is consistency which is my main goal and you're right. Your hair changes throughout your life so it is what it is. I know folks don't like to hear "You do you". Truth is I can't do you lol. You gotta find what works for your hair and go with it. That involves work. There is NO quick fix. That's why it's a journey.

[@ivyteacherwilson]

Right!💯

[@melanie_carmella]

Oil massages helped me reach bra strap length

[@ramahh979]

Yes! The penetrating oils help with breakage

[@tiffnayharris1925]

I can tell the difference when I don't use my oil like I should. Water and oil to lock it in is a plus for me but you MUST do water for moisture period.

[@sable7114]

Gosh I don't put oils on my scalp and I can't find sebum either. Don't know if that's bad or not but that's when my hair seems to grow the most.

[@quartzzhuit]

Time grows our hair. Everything everything else is for managing our hair.

[@calibanxpable]

The plant rosemary has been scientifically proven to have good properties for your hair. I myself use this oil (for a year) and my hair is healthier than it has ever been.

[@fayesherman4081]

AND THAT IS A VERY GOOD OIL FOR HAIR GROWTH, DO WHAT WORK FOR YOU PERIOD

[@Blkbeautee]

I'm glad I grew and understand my hair. Once you get gray hair you will know that your hair grows a half inch to one inch per month. My hair has been loc'd for almost four years and I love it.

[@jazzyjoanna]

@@Rue100 I have seen women who had edges( what grown women have not baby hair) and they were nicely and tastefully done, I think when women use their hair in an attempt to look like edges it looks hard and odd, just my opinion.🤷🏽‍♀️

@@Rue100 ok we can agree to disagree, it's not that deep to me what another woman does with her hair, usually women with no edges hate to see them on others, have a blessed day, no need to get your blood pressure up over another woman hair.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madamjcw4844]

After getting locs, I learned that, in general, kinky hair thrives off of being protected and left alone. Find a good shampoo, conditioner, and sealant. My favorite oils to apply to scalp for growth and scalp care is tea tree and peppermint. The rest depends on genetics and your diet.

[@Lyme70]

Yes! Yes! Care for and arrange it, then let it do what it does! I remember the first time I went loose natural (after 4 years of that I loc'd. After over 14 years of locs i am back loose natural). I had a love hate relationship with my hair for 18 months, because I was fighting my hair trying to make it do what I thought it should do. And it fought me back - like taking the comb from and whacking me hard then stubbornly rebelling. One day I was like, just forget it, applied the product and let it air dry. A few hours later, as it was drying, I realized it was doing exactly what I had wanted it to do all along, display its natural coil pattern - coils and springs going every which way. It was gorgeous! From that day forward, I only had two instruments of torture for my hair - a detangling comb and a rattail for if I wanted to do twists. Otherwise, it was simply my fingers. And my hair thrived.

[@lindsayb1329]

Yes! I love tea tree oil. I recently learned about it because it got rid of my daughter's lice. I started to use it and it got completely rid of my dandruff and itchy scalp. It also helped new hair growth. The only down side is the smell. I deal with it though cause I love the results.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

For the ordinary folks, I shop at places like target that have great return policies. There’s no excuse to hang on to a product you don’t love!!! Just return it and try something else, and once you find the product(s) you love, stick beside em!!!

[@promise5882]

So you can return a product even after you have used it once or twice?

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Absolutely!

[@apara2005]

[@camurielcunningham]

There is documented research on rosemary essential oil and it’s impact on stimulating the follicle that results in hair growth.

[@NSoutherland_WellnessMD]

Yes. The NCBI site can help you research anything

[@mj33mj12]

And you’re absolutely correct 👍🏾

[@vendettawykpisz8518]

My baby hair is gray and they will not lay. I'm just grateful to have edges and hair period. I don't need to lay baby hair. 😂🤣😂

[@ruthharris6274]

I’m so glad somebody finally said hair is based on genetics not products! Many of these companies are just appealing to those of us who just not gone have product hair

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I believe there are many things based on genetics like hair density and how long it “can” grow. However a solid hair routine is how all of us get there. It’s both.

[@maggief1851]

Exactly

[@kayjay7865]

I still haven’t decided on the genetics and hair cycles theories when it comes to length. Some of the elders in my family had really long hair and some had average length hair. I big chopped in 2014 and it took a good 4 years for me to learn what my hair needed. My hair grew during those years but my ends stayed dry so I was cutting what I was growing. I am now at bra strap length because I know when my hair or scalp need nourishment or moisture AND I stopped using commercial products. Most of what I put on my hair can be found in the produce section of the supermarket

[@lindsayb1329]

I have seen many videos of women reversing androgenetic alopecia with natural products and consistency (their mothers and sister also had it ) So, that gives me so much hope!

[@sheba653161]

I feel like every year someone says we need to leave baby hair in that year but people just won't let them go! Lol

[@sdseals2076]

You so remind me of Essence Atkins from the UPN show Half and Half.

[@thatwildethunderchild392]

I fell into the ‘no shampoo’ trend when I first went natural. All that did was make my hair look dusty and irritated my scalp 🙄. Now I am mostly grey and I love it. I agree with you about Storm from the X-MEN 🤩 Her hair and body are inspiration to me.

[@pennyholman]

I was shampooing one wee then co-washing the next which wasn't bad, but yes! it's best to just wash and condition, that's it. Yes! I'm embracing my grey too, not mostly grey yet, but i'm definitely not coloring.

[@Thentherewasbim]

Aside from laying my baby hairs, I did all of these during my natural hair journey 😂. Most of these I stop purely out of unbotheredness. The special oils were expensive, the overnight conditioning was disturbing my sleep, and a good shampoo did wonders for my scalp. Still need to book that doctors appt 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@zacharydrake156]

I remember trying all these when I first started growing my hair out. Expect for not shampooing. I slowly stopped doing all these hair trends over time. And my hair is still thriving

[@xrystal89]

Oof, yah it's a lot. Straight-haired women take like 8-10 years to grow their hair all the way down their backs (Ex: Natural Hair Healing, Katherine Sewing, Hollistichabits, Breanna Quan, Pretty Shepherd, and other women you can find on YT). Looser texture curl girls take 8-12 years to grow their hair down their back. But for some reason, us tighter coil girls want that same length in around 3 months. HOW SWAY?! And these other girlies can't tell us nothing or warn us about the time and consistency it takes bc we ain't trying to hear any hair tips, tricks, and/or advice from people who "don't look like me". When the truth is, the hair care business played the same tricks on them that it's now trying to play on us and we could have avoided a lot of wasted money and headache if we just looked at evidence and hair science of people who have been there and done that for years. *Edit*: included examples of straight hair community admitting about how long it takes for their hair to grow).

[@Feelsbylex]

Down the back is 24 -26 inches long, hair grows half an inch a month, that’s 6 inches a year, tighter curl patterns don’t show true length unless stretched or straightened but no matter how much the curls shrinks it’s still naturally down the back damn near waist length depending on the persons height, within 4 years their at 24 inches of hair growth, 30 inches in 5 years. If a woman’s hair is not getting to those inches she’s not retaining her growth, and needs to keep it moisturized and trimmed. White women hair grows the same rate, it’s just straight and shows length way more then ethnic hair in its natural state.

[@xrystal89]

@@Feelsbylex Yea typically or on average but it's no guarantee due to factors like environment, diet, pollution, weather, stress levels, learning to care for hair and accounting for mistakes and setbacks and so on. I meant all the way down, so about 30+ inches. 24-26 is about from bra-strap to waist. Though I imagine 26" curly would be around 28 or 30 on straight hair (indian, asian, native individuals also have straight hair).

[@Aphrodite01]

@@xrystal89 that takes 4-5 years not 8+. Asian hair grows the fastest so it may take even less time for them. Black hair grows but it’s at a slower rate. Also, hair is easier to manage, easier to distribute natural oil, and less prone to knots/breakage in a blow dried/straight state rather than black natural hair. Black girls can grow hair but have issues with following a proper hair care routine and retention.

[@seweetgirlnay]

It doesn't matter the texture of the hair. The rate of hair growth depends on genetics. Idk where you got 8 years from for back length...? Never heard or seen that. 5 years on avg.

caster oil really helps with hair growth. How did i find that out? As a baby I had 1 fixed eyebrow that ran to my cheek. When I was a toddler it was all gone. And I had 2 normal eyebrows. Until I started using caster oil for my face. After a while the eyebrow started to grow again along my temple to my cheek. Then I decided to use the oil only on my scalp.

[@denyshadials5702]

I still no longer deep condition overnight, but I never got mold or fungus. And actually those don’t just appear simply because your hair and scalp are wet-it has to already be present….because you’re not clarifying 👀…and only using moisture shampoos…yes I said it. Also I think the ‘hygral fatigue’ only applies to certain textures. I know my hair and it would have to be soaking wet for a few days to get to that point. Not damp overnight…but now I only deep condition every 1-2 months so 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m considering going back to cowashing-never had issues with that either (because I clarify when I shampoo). It might help me save on rinse out conditioner. Oils are useless in my routine, that’s the reason I don’t use them. I also have an oily scalp. Streamlining the process needs to be in the spotlight for a awhile. These 1-2 spa/self care days are cute, but they don’t to overwhelm the bulk of natural hair care. I don’t understand junkism-use it or throw it away. I’m not keeping products I’m not using. When in doubt, use it with extreme gel.

[@bodacioustness5054]

I've pared down considerably on products and now know that my hair type loves shampoo and conditioner made for curly hair, a good leave-in and some oil to keep it healthy and not frizzy. Pick what works and stick with it but a life on hold for a wash routine? Things that make you go, "Hmmmm...."

[@ray83baby]

We've all fallen into these traps at some point or the other, except the baby hair, cos my hairline is already touching my eyebrow, "laying" it just made me look ridiculous. As for the hair growth oil, it didn't work, all by it self, what worked was a consistent hair care routine/ practices which would have still worked without the oil.

@@Rue100 ikr? And it looks nothing like baby hair! I'll be glad to see the end of it and it doesn't look good on those who do it😭

Looks great on babies 😆

[@Mochi_chan737]

But what about all the scientific research on essential oils that are proven to stimulate hair growth?

[@apara2005]

The particular size has to be small...and only put on the scalp. It won't do anything if put on the hair.

[@Mochi_chan737]

@@apara2005 that's exactly what I'm trying to say, it will stimulate growth from the scalp according to science

I think the point here is avoid excess and flittering from one thing to the other without giving anything a chance. Also, make sure that you are addressing issues at their root cause (often a licensed professional can help, sometimes its common sense). Lastly, recognize while you can certainly improve on what you have genetically by meeting your health and hair's particular needs, if you were not born to grow butt-length hair, no amount of product, herbs, routine, or diet is going to get you that - be good with that and how God made you. With that being said, hair growth oils and teas DO work. I am a living witness. Rosemarry and nettle teas were always my go-to if I started experiencing excess shedding or thinning (thanks chemicals!!). It would stop both in their tracks and put my hair back to retaining its ability to grow profusely and long. Over the past year, I noticed a lot of thinning and gaps (I had locs). I started going back to the old remedies (rosemary, nettle, etc, infused in hair growth oil, black seed oil applied to the scalp to stop itching and burning, changing shampoos, etc.). When I went to a trichologist and told her what I started doing, she told me I was on the right track for managing the inflammatory alopecia she diagnosed me with. She added to observe how my diet impacted my scalp (i.e., was it itchier or "on fire" after certain foods versus others?), and to stay hydrated (hair and internally), and to limit refined sugar. 8 months in, the bald patches and widening parts have drastically improved or disappeared. Those who have handled my hair can't believe my story because it is so dense. But I got the receipts in pictures. 🤣

I believe the key is understanding your hair because when you know what your hair loves then you give it what it needs. Personally I believe the oils and butters just enhance.

[@MrsDazl]

Been loc'd for 15 months and I, just yesterday, finally threw out all the products I haven't used since loose natural days 🙃

[@toshibeeeeeee]

🤣😂🙃 Baby hair = broken edges!!! Girl I died 3 times!

[@ladyandrews9371]

I loved every single second of this video❤️❤️❤I have almost tailbone length hair and I am an exclusively straight natural. I wash and style my hair once a month and wrap every single night. I own four product: shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioning hair mask, and oil. I get sooooo many questions about my hair. I always refuse to tell my products because I’m like what works for ME works for ME. You do not have my head of hair my mamma and daddy gave me my hair ma’am. I get my sisters making content and selling products and I will never knock a hustle but I literally do the bare basic minimum and my hair has flourished. Best of luck to all my sisters on your growth journey 😘

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

I stand by the inversion method. I really think the bloodflow heeeelllllps 😭

[@denyshadials5702]

An aloe mask does the same thing, just more efficiently.

[@stormyskyz7881]

I 110% agree that people put far too much faith in products and I even understand that some people use growth products as a crutch to actually having a set routine paying attention to their hair and doing bloodwork to see if they have a greater underlying issue but to say that growths oils or growth serums need to be cut out… herbs the ancestors were using and passed down to us… it’s not a responsible statement. Does mean I didn’t support or listen or your cancelled just there is science in the onion juice and the herbs. Love you though❤

[@danafisher8613]

As far as “hair growth” oils if it’s mass produced doubtful because more often than not whatever is beneficial is hardly even in the oil.. LOL for me it’s growth not meaning length but thinning areas, breakage, it can work… like most things you need to know what you are trying to accomplish and is it realistic. Infusing herbs in specific oils helped me regrown patches of hair that broke off due to hormones and my own carelessness. But not to grow it down my back LOL

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

I'm done with my product junkie phase. It was great, but I've found my staples for my most common styles

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I’m not even mad. I feel you!

Number 1 hit me to the core! I’ve got junkism lol 😭😂😅🤣

Broken edges are not baby hair………………….GOLD

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

🫣

[@renettegordley3493]

I think you gave very informative commentary. It made so much sense too me. I don't know why some people separate their edges from the rest of their hair. I know some people's edges are thin or broke off for whatever reason but it won't be because I part them off by themselves & put hardening gels & other stuff that's not helping them. I want my hair to grow like the rest of my crown & glory. I believe that's one of the reasons for edge issues & of course the tight tension but that so called baby hair thing I just don't get.

[@shondelljames3019]

I was cracking up, when you said beauty store in your cabinet

[@atmodlee]

I have naturally fine edges (baby hairs).

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Dope! I have fine edges too, they just don’t lay naturally.

[@rhondadenis3469]

I do my hair in an hour. It took a little while to get there but it is possible for more people than most would think

[@amerettasour82]

Lol to the deep conditioner - me- keeping it on for 2 hrs or more- and alll the products??!! 😮

[@FromTheDeskofAntoinetteSmith]

I'm glad somebody said it! lol Girl you are talking about it all!!!!

[@Mrs_Canary]

Never used vaporub or monistat on my scalp 😂. Dc overnight i hated but thought it was doing something. Im so glad i stopped with the raw oils n butters my hair dries so fast

[@maryclarke4208]

Funny and informative. I was in the beginning a mini product junkie. I also did the overnight condition ( bad decision along with that Maximum Hydration Method- early 2000's). And last Growth Oil and Rice Water..no more

[@LavernStwrt]

There are scientific studies that demonstrated the efficacy of certain infused hair oils. Dermatologists and Trichologists do not agree with you. Your comments are not based in science.

[@FineNaturalHairROCKS]

This video was THE TRUTH!!! I don't do super long wash days anymore. This is a hard no now! lol!

You know what LaToya, I really think you should come out with a hair growth oil!!!!😂😂😂

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

🤣 OMG that would be so embarrassing!! LMAO!

[@kam1776]

I also used to DC overnight🤣🤣🤣 not bc I thought it would benefit me but pure laziness really. And i would regret doing it every single time. Scalp would be itching so bad!

[@suntanialivingston9149]

Moisture helps grow African hair. Show me short brittle black hair. I will show you extremely dry scalp and tresses. But you are right about it not being any miracle oil.

[@tamidyer3519]

One of the benefits of Oils are used to seal moisture (water).

[@lionessawaking42412]

The one and most important thing for hair growth is WHAT GOES IN YOUR MOUTH!!!! You can’t go around eating crap and expect healthy hair. Oils do have their place. Again eating healthy food, drinking water & healthy smoothies and supplements help create a healthy body and thus healthy hair! 🤷🏾‍♀️
