Box braids, JBCO the blue label one from Walmart / the beauty supply, and patience.

My hair grew the most after I had given birth because I had no time to mess with it. I would wash it like once a month or even 6 weeks and just put it in cornrows and leave them until I had time to wash it again! So I can testify that leaving your hair tf alone is the best thing you can do to retain length for sure

[@nkroks4492]

When I saw how luscious your hair was in 2 secs I realized how much I miss your videos 💜

[@rockpaperskizzers]

It is so true that just leaving you hair alone really will do wonders for length retention. For years I thought that my hair would never grow past shoulder length even though I kept it fairly heathy and well maintained. Then quarantine came and I got really lazy and just left my hair alone for like 3 months. I would wash it once a week (or every other week) and other than that I just put it in couple braids or a bun and ignored it. Lo and behold, when I finally decided to do something with my hair again I had noticeable growth. So I decided to continue by only styling my hair once or twice a month and leaving it in braids the rest of the time. A year later and my hair is longer than it's ever been. Giving your hair a rest from constant manipulation really will help you add length.

[@hprivate9114]

I agree with this but tbh even when i was younger and my hair was thick thick- it still never grew past my chest and its still like that it’ll grow in volume but never length 😭 and i love long hair so much its sad really

[@amira6300]

how long would u leave it in a bun

[@rockpaperskizzers]

@@amira6300 I would usually leave it in for about 3 days. I wear my bun pretty high on my head and not too tight so I could sleep in it comfortably. When it started to look messy or loose, I'd take it down, tidy it up, and put it back up for another few days. The point for me was to avoid manipulation as much as possible.

[@michellelyston8566]

How long did it take until you saw noticable growth? Thank you for sharing!

[@rockpaperskizzers]

@@michellelyston8566 Well I was being really lazy and not paying attention for a few months. So at the 3 month mark is when I noticed I had gained a couple of inches. It was probably around 7-8 months when other people started commenting that they noticed my hair was longer.

[@cicelyb9718]

Pre-poo and detangling BEFORE the shower! Yes! When I first went natural I watched several videos where you used the African Pride Pre-Poo treatment. I can’t imagine doing it any other way! We have basically the same hair type so this works for me so well! Thank you!

[@miriamx8420]

African Pride Pre-Poo is the TRUTH

[@rays2542]

That prepoo dried my hair out, switched to an Aryuvedic brand and man the slip was way better.

[@sorackee]

What hair type is that? I wonder because my hair is identical to hers, I think she might have a ton of different curl patterns in one since none of them are particularly defined. I neeeeed to know this is the first time I’ve found someone with hair like mine!

[@cicelyb9718]

@@sorackee well I have a mix of hairtypes (like many others) but if I had to guess I’d say I have a mix of 3B in front and on the sides, mostly 3C everywhere else mixed with some 4A in some spots. Very frustrating to style. I use that pre-poo every time I wash my hair.

[@livingbeyondvision4863]

A set routine is exactly right! My hair has grown to almost tail bone by doing a set routine once a week. I do LCO Method, too, but I to the oil next day after it is dry. Can't wait to try your new product!

[@skatulle]

your channel got me started on my natural hair routine a few years ago. Your method is simple and easy to follow. I remember you used to use simple shampoos and leave in conditioners. I have stuck to the routine you just described like the LCO method. Now no one can convince me to do anything otherwise. My hair has always thrived when i stick to the routine. thank you

[@PamelaRubel]

What helped me grow my hair was to stop cutting it. No cuts or trims for 5 years . Sure there were some split ends but they didn't exactly got any worse. I just stopped cutting it. I used simple lightweight products, and washed once a week. Eventually my hair reached my bra line (I have extremely fine hair, so gravity really didnt help much with the growth). The 10 years prior to letting go of the scissors, my hair never grew past my shoulders. I was frustrated. But yeah, I was simply cutting all my growth. Nowadays i cut whatever I find too damaged (search and destroy). I learned to cut my own hair too and recently cut layers but I cant wait to not cut it again for years and grow it once again. Im using olaplex and my hair feels so much stronger so that's all I need for length retention!

[@sarahabeid2432]

" i just let it flourish in it's own" I like that one

[@5pctLowBattery]

My hair grew a lot since lockdown. I washed it weekly (10 mins to shampoo, 10 mins deep conditioner, 30 mins to moisturize and redo 4-6 plaits) that’s it. I left my hair alone after wash day, stayed hydrated and slept well. That’s it. No big secrets. Sleep, drink water and don’t over manipulate your hair, but make sure your scalp is clean at least weekly.

[@hannahekata5076]

thats exactly what i did during lockdown 😊 washed it weekly , deep treatment masques went from chin length to past my shoulders at the bottom of my shoulder blades

I love your hair tips. I've had hair problems my whole life until I stumbled on your aloe vera pre poo video 6 months ago. Now I use either aloe vera or olive oil as pre poo and wash once every week and a half. I brush my hair gently but thoroughly every night and bun it. My hair is so healthy and shiny and growing! I've been doing this 6months now. I don't have curly hair but it is wavy, thin, fine and course. I have always had hair problems especially frizzy, dry dull hair that wouldn't grow. Not anymore! I look forward to trying your products. I tried coconut oil and it just makes my hair look greasy and leaves it dry. But the olive oil and argan seems to hydrate and leaves it shiny.

[@Ms_Brendi_B]

I have tried everything.. the only thing working for me right now is water rinsing my hipo hair every 2-3 days, oiling my scalp with castor oil, moisturise with the Garnier 3in1 aloe and coconut hair mask then sealing with blue magic grease; this is my new routine. I have been on this journey for 3 years and found out the hard way that the majority of leave-ins dried out my hair. Too much raw aloe dried out my hair. Peppermint oil thins out my hair. Fenugreek gave me excessive shedding. I cannot have anything in my hair that I can smell as it effects my hair. My point is NOT everything will work. My current routine is so simple and is working very well so far.....I wash my hair with an African black soap bar once a week and it's the only thing that doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped. ACV leaves my hair feeling like straw also. I love my hair journey though....its become healthier since this routine and my moisture level has improved....it is what it is....🙏🏽

[@Miriam-bq7kg]

Well... I just want to say: Yes, the LCO method is bomb! But it also depends on your hair type, your hair porosity... I always did the LCO method, and it kinda worked, but only for day one. The next day, my hair looked already so dry as if I didn't apply anything. I was thinking if I could have high porosity hair... and for high porosity, the LOC method can work as well or for some even better. Right now I switched to the LOC method and I think, this works actually better for me. Maybe in winter time I have to change something in my routine again, who knows. I'm still learning what works for me and what doesn't. My advice is: Just try both methods in the beginning. Maybe one month the LCO method, then one month a LOC method to compare. And then continue what works better. There are so many factors. Maybe it also depends on the oil you use. Get some information (there are good KZbin videos, too) about different oils and what they do. Maybe you need a heavier oil oder a lighter one. Maybe you need a sealing oil but you use a penetrating one. Just look it up and if your current routine doesn't work that well, than try to change one thing in your routine to see the difference. You will learn and build your own, personal hair regimen... and you will know your own hair and what it needs 🥰

One thing that I notice is when I use apple cider vinegar once a week helps so well to grew my hair. I literally, mix, water apple cider vinegar, and shampoo in a spray bottle. It just helps me get to my scalp easier, helps get rid of product buildup. Plus for me because I have eczema and it is on my scalp I find that the apple cider vinegar helps me. Sometimes I will just do I rinse and not add the shampoo.

For me.. I had to know my hair. My hair does not like extra protein... at all. It will cause split ends, brittle/dry strands, and break off. Finding products that adds lots of moisture is key. Vo5, coconut oil, a TEK brush, and my hair steamer is the only thing I use. I made sure my hair was 100% dry before detangling. One big braid prevents the hair from tangling. Almost at the crack now. You're right, keeping it simple was the way for me too.
