My Natural Hair Growth Journey with pics (Childhood to Now)

[@sugarfreementee9897]

Thank you!! I'm so sick of ppl acting like black girls can't have long hair uuuh like wtf wHyyyyyy 🙄

[@curlyrenaray562]

Sugar Free Mentee Right!!! SMH

[@solarlola5953]

It takes more effort to grow type 4 hair though

[@AnNeachDorcha]

@@solarlola5953 Not really. I'm a lazy natural with majority "type 4" and my hair is almost to my waist (about 5 cm). I just keep it properly moisturised and leave it alone.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

I agree, I actually did a similar video on my channel, growing our hair takes time, patience understanding protein moisture balance and protective styling❤️

i dont comment often but this is the most relatable hair journey ive seen

[@curlyrenaray562]

Wow thank you!!!

[@emmahbeckford1301]

That's exactly what I felt too was so relatable xxx

[@user-vp8oz1pj9c]

I love how you look back on your younger self and "her" impulsive decision-making😭🤣🤣 I can so relate 🙈

[@thelittleunicorn6196]

The sigh of disappointment and regret after you said you got bangs lmaooo

[@curlyrenaray562]

Lmaooo!

[@Misuneverse]

Legitimately the most relatable hair journey/story. Only difference was my mom took good care of my hair before I permed it, so when it was permed it was thick as hell. Then....I had I had to start taking care of my hair

[@nekarenay120]

Dang the Dominican shop I always go to never gave me heat damage. The lady that does my hair has kinky curly hair so that probably has something to do with it too🤔

[@syd.sydneyamber]

Girl as soon as we get let free to do our own hair it just all goes downhill from there 🥴🤣

[@DeesCurve]

The fact that I remember when you got your hair permed lol I’ve known you for so long !!!

[@curlyrenaray562]

Sabrina Artis aw thank you!

[@emmahbeckford1301]

I can so relate with not checking the length so much as you may want to cut it all off and start again real talk, leave the head top alone lol , patience is key, and also the point you made that not knowing one's hair can grown longer than expected, relatable xxxxxxxx

[@timothyespinoza5051]

I forgot what my hair pattern was to up until 6months ago! After I detangle my dreads,cause before my dreads it was permed a lot! Also since middle school! Moral of the story my curls b big Poppin even with out all the juices n leaves ins! And it's sorta new to me right now! Super duper thin tho from 5years of dreads but I'm taking good care of it so it'll b flourishing again soon enough! Going for knee length hair, it was daym near waist length but I ruined it one day and it was up to my collar bone after not detangling it properly from some singles n build up before I showered! Still ruffles my feathers today😭 to think about!

[@adorableadoralett651]

In your hair regimen did you blow dry on low every two weeks? I'm having issues now with my hair I feel like its healthy but not seeing growth I'm arm pit length. And I have I believe high porosity where the conditioner sits on my hair strand. It sucks did you air dry then comb through? Your hair beautiful I hope to have that length one day it's taking forever.

[@curlyrenaray562]

And I wouldn't say compared to all...a few maybe, Also factor in makeup and lighting. Just want to clarify before anyone else is "very confused" should have put it in the video... NEVER bleached or used any bleaching products because I know thats what you're wondering and I have gotten that rude question before.
