7 Reasons Why Your TYPE 4 Hair IS NOT Growing

[@millicentlopez3592]

1. combing through your hair, especially when its dry. 2. not using a hair regimen suited for YOU 3. be patient, consistent and have realistic expectations 4. appropriate protective styling 5. over-manipulating your hair 6. styling hair whilst dry; not hydrating hair 7. not trimming hair regularly

[@girlwiththemagicpen]

Our hair is constantly growing. It never really stops growing, in fact. However, it can remain at a certain length for a long time without proper attention and care. This can be due to breakage, cutting off more inches than one grows on average each month, not getting enough nutrients through food etc.

[@nutmegcurlsandcoils2736]

@Welcome's House that's true. But it's a cycle it is continuous, that's why you should try to retain much length when it's growing stage.

[@artemis2016]

Especially the food. Not too many talk about taking care of the hair from the inside ( body) out ( topical). It's usually some topical remedy to growing hair rather than looking at their daily eating habits. People will curse someone out for suggesting that maybe their poor diet choices is why they hair isn't growing. Many times, a person can be deficient in a certain nutrient ( usually Iron, Omega-3 and vitamin E), and many other nutrients. The light bulb come on for some, while others just end up blaming it on genetics.b

Yes we should focus on BIG hit bc length is associated with European/ non Afro hair

[@serious7179]

@@912deborah I have to disagree... Length is a sign of health in black hair as well as European hair. Length used to be considered a European thing, but it's really not. Black women that I know want long, beautiful kinky hair, not long straight hair. Of course, genetics come into play, but I'd venture to say that most women of all ethnicities have the genetic ability to grow what we consider long hair (i.e. past shoulder length in its natural state), but African hair, in particular, is a bit weaker and the person would have to be extra careful in combating breakage at the ends to achieve this.

EVERYONE HAIR GROWS!! The question should be how to retain your length. And I believe it’s necessary to comb through your hair. Your hair needs to be properly detangle.

[@noughthanx1548]

Are you saying you have to comb hair for it to grow? If so, that is incorrect. Many naturals DO NOT comb their hair at all, and it grows just fine. Combing tightly curled hair is only necessary if you wish to wear stretched styles. kzbin.info?search_query=styling+4c+hair+no+comb

[@naturalspice8479]

Nough Thanx Not at all I’m I saying that. It’s just my personal opinion that I believe it’s best to fully detangle you hair. It will style better and be easier to manage. It’s noting to do with growing your hair. She even stated in a previous post that she had lots of damage and split ends, what you think caused that? My guess is because she wasn’t properly detangling her hair and trimming the ends.

[@Kay-tc3go]

You are right Fancy, because if and when she combs her hair a quarter of it will fall out. Hair grows and breaks out; Blacks hair breaks more because of it's tight, thin coils.

[@simpleeye7950]

There are a few things I have noticed my hair likes: (1)PH Balance (4.5- 5.5, 6 max) really matters for my hair Health and length retention. It reduces a lot of shedding and split ends. My hair loves aloe Vera based shampoos and products for this reason. (2) 12-24 hour coconut oil Pre-poo really seems to keep my hair strong and shiny and eases detangling. (3) It also loves protein infused products (with mostly moisture) on a regular basis for protein/moisture balance . (4) Detangle while damp. My hair hates soaking wet detangling, but damp is best. (5) Trim schedule. Mine is every 8 weeks, 12 max. If I wait many months like Temi, for example. My hair ends develop tiny holes that lead to split ends, knots, and breakage. I feel like me doing these things allows my hair to holds moisture well and usually doesn't need more products past wash day (weekly)

It's different strokes for different folks but I'm not always manipulating my hair I keep it wrapped all the time until I step out. Vitamins help too.

[@simpleeye7950]

I had to come to terms with the fact that there are many natural hair favorites that my hair sideyes: shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie, eco styler gel, and heavy butters- it absolutely hates that shea moisture restorative mask and most all shea moisture shampoos. Also Trader Joe's nourish and spa gave me no slip. But mineral oil gives me tons of slip, and my hair likes a little mineral oil mixed with conditioner for detangling. Mineral oil may be considered a no no, but my hair loves it, along with ph balance for detangling purposes. I've learned that if a conditioner's ph is greater than 5.5, detangling is a nightmare.

[@Lexine0504]

Mineral oil is fine. And so is grease. Most of the new fangled “natural” products are watered down. Which is why they don’t work well. They’re also way too expensive to be such a hit & miss.

In my opinion one very important factor was left out and that is your diet. Your hair is what you eat and eating adequate protein is important for hair growth because hair follicles are made of mostly protein. A lack of protein in the diet has been shown to promote hair loss (1). Biotin is essential for the production of a hair protein called keratin, which is why biotin supplements are often marketed for hair growth.

TRIMMING IS THE NUMBER ONE CULPRIT. my broke off hair stayed stagnant for years and i didnt know why. Now its growing because im trimming. Also i take 45mg iron which help with growth and breakage. Stimulates redblood cells. Plus it gives me energy. It's crazy bw are finally learning about their hair because we were always told it was to ugly to be bothered with

[@Nanbebe7]

I’m doing no heat challenge for a year! Results are amazing! Absolutely no breakage.

[@daisyflower1545]

girl don't buy the products back, just insert the images in your video when you talk about them

[@temiadesina]

lol but I think I want do a style using the products I don't like

[@daisyflower1545]

@@temiadesina That'll be a good reason to buy them back. Maybe buy from a place that'll let you return the products.

I hate to say it, but my sista's have become hair hungry!! BE PATIENT, take care of your hair and let it do what it do.

I've been natural for 10 years, i have moisturized 4a hair...I don't overmanipulate etc.... my hair has not grown past my shoulder blades. My hair grew a little longer when I was perm between girl. I see girls all the time, "I've been natural for 4 years", and their mid back....i really don't know🤷🏿‍♀️maybe it's just the point of my terminal length.

[@theresatoomer5578]

Thanks for your knowledge of hair and helping others

[@essielayn]

YES!!!! Make a video of the products/regimen that you DON'T like! It teaches us and is SOOOOO helpful!

[@Raylee-bt2cv]

While detangling always comb from the bottom of the hair strand and work your way up😊it'll save you from combing your hair out💯then when it's not tangled anymore you can comb through it

[@amalyah46]

Thank you so much!!!! No combs!!!! My hair breaks off a LOT. I have 4C hair and I do sew-ins a lot.

[@kimessex3678]

Well all I do is wash it and condition it real good and I put it in a protective Style and I do not mess with my hair until every 3 weeks I don't over manipulate and I use water to come through my hair when I do my hair over again

Naturally Temi some ppl can get away with not combing. I've tried it for months unsuccessfully. I went back to combing my hair only on wash days & hydrating days. I wanna add, im very gentle with my hair while combing. My hair is growing beautifully. But I still love your videos Temi💗
