Love your hair in all stages! Thanks for sharing Queen.

[@ChimeEdwards]

Thanx Nat!

[@ChimeEdwards]

I'm so happy with these gains! I've really been enjoying my hair in every stage and really miss my hair when it was shorter. If you're on a hair growth journey, try to enjoy your hair at every length (even when you may kinda hate it lol). It will make the process way more enjoyable. If you're growing your hair out, how's it goin?

[@joy5016]

Chime (HairCrush) Are you taking hair vitamins? I'm not seeing gains and I fear I've reached a climax 😔 Your hair is looking beautiful, still my original and fave haircrush 😃

[@ChimeEdwards]

Aww thanks friend! I use Nature's Bounty Healthy Mom prenatal vitamins amzn.to/2A0iiMH just for my overall health. They're plant-based. And I still use SBR liquid biotin amzn.to/2NBRFjg for hair growth.

[@kristinlaurelluna]

I've been stuck at armpit length for over 4 years now. My hair is thick but the crown of my head is stubborn and won't grow as fast or I'm having trouble maintaining the ends because they have never reached past the tops of my shoulders. I think at this point I should call it genetics and just be happy with the length I have (I love it don't get me wrong) but I'll never get it as long as yours. I was in a private race with you. lol Back when you first started your hair was at my length and I said I was going to race you to see if we could grow our hair at the same time but no. You beat me. :D

[@wannabe41]

My healthy hair journey is going well! I started out later in life, post-menopausal, and even with the challenges that come with that stage of life, my hair is healthier than it was when I was in my 30’s. I can’t wait to see how far I can go!

[@joy5016]

Chime (HairCrush) I'm gonna try this thanks 😘

[@RaetheSaint]

I’ve definitely been at the point where I was sacrificing health for length, I gave my heat damaged ends a snip a couple months ago and now I’m loving the volume

[@ChimeEdwards]

Yes! Love that! Letting it go is always the best thing to do fro your hair's health.

[@RaetheSaint]

Definitely, I just had the best twisted bantu knot out today

[@Smileyshanice]

Your hair is wonderful! And it grows so fast 💜

[@sonyacurry9155]

Based on her pictures her hair grew from neck length to bra strap length in a year whew

[@ChimeEdwards]

It took a year a 8 months:)

[@sonyacurry9155]

Chime (HairCrush) 😍

[@chloeyorke2560]

So inspired by your journey sis! I've been following you since I first went natural in 2011 and your oldest videos kept me away from the creamy crack.

[@jakerajakera5757]

Sis ur growth snatched my edges

[@Angie_Onaleta]

"All you gotta lose is something that's no longer serving you." Barz!

[@ChimeEdwards]

lol

[@gmcmim1]

The hair length come back is real. Looking good.

[@calderone5559]

BLACK WOMAN, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL WITH YOUR OWN HAIR, YOU DON T NEED WEAVE !!!

[@BrittanyDanielle]

[@ChimeEdwards]

Thank you girl!

[@amaude]

[@ChimeEdwards]

Thanks friend!

[@amaude]

your welcome plus i love how i always learn something from your videos

[@brielafaye]

I can honestly say I am so happy I found your KZbin videos I have been struggling to grow my hair my whole life I’ve always dreamed of long pretty hair . Your videos really motivated me to try a lil harder lol thanks love ❤️

[@honeybun7890]

I miss videos like these on youtube

[@shamaal123]

You and your hair are absolutely stunning! 😍

[@Nonnabii]

That intro doe 😭😍 I live !!!

[@reneejohnson7742]

Your intro is so dope I must say. Those chunky twistouts are giving me life! Your hair is absolutely beautiful.

[@CaramelSkinnedBeauty]

Beautiful! I remember watching your first natural hair journey video, you and longhairdontcare (rip) had some of the longest hair 💕

[@JT-ri2ue]

This is definitely an inspiration and very motivational for me as I've been trying to grow out my natural hair from armpit length to FINALLY reaching bra strap length for the first time in my life. I have definitely been slacking in taking care of my hair as my growth has been stuck at the same length all year (I started trying to grow it out in January). Seeing you and other beautiful naturals have inspired me once again to continue trying and update my regimine!

[@josettecollins5376]

Love your growth..would love to see some updated hair tutorials as well.

[@ChimeEdwards]

For sure! Thank you!

[@natalieeight8711]

Girl bye.. Don't pop up outta no where like we ain't been missin you

[@shaybrown7087]

“All you got to do is let go of that which is not serving you”... ewww that’s sooo good #tweet

[@mandisagoldendovenatural2058]

It's been 5 yrs since I have last saw a video and I finally found you again!!!

[@lesiab8840]

I do too, because the twistout stretch my hair more. Thanks!

[@gracelarose6529]

Your hair is so beautiful ❤️❤️

[@Melanie-wi9is]

I needed that word. Hey glo... 😇 Currently 2 wks into proactively protective styling for growth for the first time instead of just "hoping" my hair grows.

[@jessicasebastiao9069]

I haven't watched your videos in a while, I love your intro! Your growth looks great, your hair is flattering at all lengths 😍

[@WithAngella]

Great progress !!! I got heat damages a few years ago and had to do a cut also. Healthy hair is the best. I always tell people that when they comment on my video about length. My hair is mid back length now and I know I wouldn't of go there without that cut.

[@fadouam4194]

Always gorgeous

[@rawcrave]

Thanks for sharing. Love your hair.

[@Ummkelechi]

Yessss luv it! You look beautiful

[@CreateYourBestVersion]

[@serena_bee]

[@pashtlove7917]

That was neat and inspiring...im working on my hair salon horror story and my big chop vids and can barely bring myself to watch them let alone edit...but after seeing your progress i dont feel so sad. Thx chimey!

[@carmenpemberton9891]

Please do your hair growth routine soon, I’m trying to grow out my hair

[@LSPtheFrecklefaceArtist11]

Beautiful can’t to straighten my hair in October to see how long it is.

[@maneishaculmer8829]

Yass length

[@Katlinaza]

Thank you!! I just chopped half my hair off in May & Im feeling really great about it but also Im scared it won’t grow longer like I want it too. I don’t know my curl pattern because its different curly all over! Then the front part is a straighter curly that I cannot stand. Im scared to go to a naturalist for them to get scissor happy. But Im just gonna keep trimming myself until I find someone. Again this is still all new to me!!

[@mjgarner123]

Love your hair Chime in all it's stages! Congratulations on your length! Healthy hair grows and yours grows very fast. The big chop after acquiring damage was so worth it! I applaud you on your styles. How do you keep your tangles at bay when doing "out" styles and wash and go's?

[@therarestdiamond4792]

Wow. Such beautiful natural curls. What is your favorite go to hair product? I use ouu so curly.

[@a.a1497]

such beautiful hair 😍❤️

[@cassandra113364]

It is beautiful sis keep it up.

[@ladynefertitibk]

Hairs looking good

[@selenat.4982]

Very informative for a short video and encouraging. 👍🏾

[@vanessaallen8907]

I've been waiting for this video. I happy for you with on your progress. Your hair really grown fast. My hair has been the same length since last year. I am happy with the overall health of my hair. I cant wait to see your hair reach waist length. Do you feel like you gained back your hair texture, like your texture before you use the system to straight your hair? or do you feel like it's not all the way there? I know you grew it out so it should be back the old hair texture.

[@sameerasalah2006]

Woow growth 😍😍😊😍❤️

[@amazingjay6044]

THANK YOU! 😄

[@vlogaboutnothing7099]

And me with my fine , low density, low porosity hair as$ jus big mad 😡 right now ... knowing my hair will never be this full and beautiful 😂😂

[@hellobye3592]

You look beautiful in all stages

[@JazmineMcPhee]

Nice. I’m trying to retain length for the next few months.

[@onielee20]

Love love love your hair! Are you also taking vitamins?

[@WILSONMEDIALYNN]

You hair is beautiful!!!

[@dyanasbdoriginalchannel1492]

Do you think hair porosity and skin type is link to each other? I noticed ppl with low porosity has dry skin issues and ppl with high porosity has oily scalp, and oily skin? I have at scalp dermatitis with low porosity hair and I suffer from eczema on located areas of the body and sensitive skin. I looked at both skin and hair care lines they recommend protein free and fragrance free for dry scalps and low porosity hair. Do you think hair porosity, skin moisture levels and scalp Moisture levels are link to each other? Some reason I cannot find research for this. I know our skin Undertones is the same rule of thumb and undertones is basically the same for the rest of our body such as our eye color and hair color.

[@veronicalindsey2606]

I am liking the tight neat wavy look

[@gigig7855]

So' yelly, my hair used to be down my waist untill I went through divorced and I was very stress. My hair was falling to much so I cut it all up and now is taking it sweet time to growing back up.

[@ChimeEdwards]

Stress can definitely cause your hair to break off but it will recover once your become balanced again. Prayer and meditation helps! You'll get there! Blessings friend!

[@Febreezy]

I have naturally thin kinky curly hair. I do not straighten my hair. I protective style with wigs. Long hair is not attainable for me D;

[@kaylynboyd2035]

Beautifully Bree not true

[@CandymofoRockets]

Same those fine hair problems

[@princessCaribou1]

Beautifully Bree mine grows super slow. At 5 years still grazing shoulder length. Lol

[@hoosieraussis1]

I have kinky hair too. It's not super thin, but on the thin side. I've found that with my kinky hair, most length is lost with mechanical damage during styling. Do you only manipulate your hair when it's damp or wet? Do you detangle under running shower water? I used to exclusively finger-detangle, but I recently bought a tool similar to the tangle teaser, and it is just as gentle as finger detangling; and a whole lot faster. Do you utilize low manipulation styles like twist outs and rod sets that will allow you to go without combing on your hair for 1-2 weeks? What about protective styles (braids, wigs, crochet) where you can leave your hair without combing for 1-2 months? At the end of the day, healthy hair is more important and looks better than long unhealthy hair. I'm sure your hair is beautiful. I highly recommend Nappyfu's channel. She has really healthy 4c hair and shares lots of valuable info. The only thing I disagree with her about is shampooing the entire length of my hair. I believe doing this periodically with a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo is critical to removing buildup to let that deep conditioner properly penetrate. Good luck on your hair journey!

[@aniyamekhi6592]

My hair is fine and it grows very very quickly 🤷🏾‍♀️ everyone's hair is different

[@GabbyNurse]

Have you always had long hair?

[@ChimeEdwards]

I had long hair until I got a relaxer. This is my natural hair journey that leads up to my first big chop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpKbppKKrdWbgLc

[@ariannabeard9301]

Chime, How did you determine which hair products were going to work on your hair?

[@ecstaticblues]

I have two kids that are both under two and I’m having the hardest time figuring on to do with my hair. If I leave natural I have to leave it in a ponytail because I really do have the time to do a twist out or maintain it and thing washing it becomes a chore. Also it’s been very hard to keep it moisturized because I’m so busy with everything that by the time I get to I’m so worn out. This often just leaves my hair very dry. I’ve been straightening(which I hate) because it’s easier to just to put it into two French braids or a bun. What do you think about box braids? Will it help my hair or just cause damage?

[@lesiab8840]

Loved it! Which do you do more of twistout or wash and gos?

[@ChimeEdwards]

Twist-outs. It keeps my hair from tangling as much.

[@patricemurray6412]

Beautiful!😍

[@janaemarie86]

When you’re getting a trim, do you just blow dry it or do you straighten it?

[@plawrence0885]

Excellent growth! Did you deal with high porosity due to the chemical/heat damage? If so how did you improve it? I had heat damage and cut my hair about 7-8 inches (1.5 years ago) but my porosity and texture is not how it was before the heat damage.

[@ChimeEdwards]

No, I started over when I did my second big chop. I honestly neglected my hair for a period of time. I was going to bed without moisturizing and sealing everyday and my hair suffered. Deep conditioning, using products that were mostly natural and consistently moisturizing may hair every day restored the health.

[@taotaostrong]

Gorgeous!!!!!!

[@vh7637]

Your hair is gorgous

[@biancalord488]

You are so beautiful! Are you a model?

[@ChimeEdwards]

Thank you. I do from time to time:)

[@JustJayci_]

[@ChimeEdwards]

[@Carol0110]

Love that look good dia

[@DaTa-wm5yc]

My hair has never been past my shoulder although it‘s healthy :(

[@feliciadunn644]

Hey Chime! I love your hair it’s amazing! I’m kind of struggling with my hair journey! I wash my hair every week( shampoo and conditioner) I sometimes don’t get to the store for deep conditioner. And I’m still having a hard time cowashing. I feel out of place when I do it. Please respond back to and let me know your thoughts.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👋❤️

[@dyanasbdoriginalchannel1492]

What is your hair strand and porosity?

[@ChimeEdwards]

High porosity

[@double_e3825]

Can you please do a video on tips to grow high porosity hair? I feel like my hair just wont grow anymore

[@dyanasbdoriginalchannel1492]

Chime (HairCrush) Do you have Medium or coarse strand hair? BTW, thanks for the info.

[@ChimeEdwards]

Okay, sure!

[@ChimeEdwards]

I consider it to be coarse but some people don't. My strands are thick.

[@caterine4604]

You are gorgeous!

[@eastgapeach]

You are so dang beautiful. It makes absolutely no sense!

[@Dweebula]

[@jennyoyster5054]

HONEYYYYY YASSSSSS 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨.....

[@sylviaashby3513]

is that really your hair

[@artareon]

I wonder if your hair will get to the way it was a few years ago

[@ChimeEdwards]

I think it will eventually. I'm not too pressed about it tho. If I keep caring for it properly, it'll get there.

[@takiam6677]

😍😍😍

[@blessingashanti7039]

Why are you so perfect

[@ChimeEdwards]

Why are you so sa-weeeet!

[@midnightcandlelight3230]

What is your hair type?

[@scorpio95dolls35]

golden blushes it looks like 3c /3b

[@ChimeEdwards]

It's hard to categorize. It's a mixture of 3c and 4a/4b. It's a coarse, loose wave. Stylists always say I have a unique texture. It's coarse but I don't get a lot of shrinkage.

[@midnightcandlelight3230]

Chauncey Butler Scorpio 95 It looks 3b to me.

[@melanoxable]

A lil haircut is not a big chop

[@ArghRawrWhoa]

Nice
