1. Your hair shed a lot. Will lead to clogged drains. 2. Your hair grows up and not down. In other words the shrinkage is real. 3. You don't need to get your hair trimmed. 4. Use protective styles but listen to your hair. Find out what your hair likes and don't like. 5. Your curl pattern will change the longer it gets.

[@jaeshasway]

What no one tells you is your weekends are no longer your own. They belong to your hair. Hair maintenance dictates your social life. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@ElexusLovesHerLife]

Trims are such an unnecessary evil; most of the time, our ends are just frizzy and not split. As a Cosmetologist, I realized that trims are not helpful if you want long hair. It's better to keep a protein and moisture balance and seal your ends when you style your hair. Of course, I understand that some people love the look of freshly trimmed or cut hair; however, it is not needed for healthy long hair. This is just what I've personally found to be accurate; I also realized that during the awkward stage of hair growth, the ends look thin, but that's only because our hair does not grow the same all over. You have to give the strands time to catch up to one another; then, your hair will look thick at the ends. I think this is why protective styles help so much; it helps keep us patient, our hands out of our hair, and out of the salon 😅😁.

[@NaturallyMarked]

Thank you!! This comment is everything!

[@ElexusLovesHerLife]

@@NaturallyMarked Thank you ☺️✨

[@Icyjessy1]

I'm one of those that just loves the feel of freshly trimmed ends and those pesky knots. Luckily my hair grows fast

[@sable7114]

You're right, hair grows at different speeds so will not be even. I personally don't like the blunt cut and , I like The Feathered look so I'm okay with the way my hair looks and of course when it's curled you don't even notice the ends. Once a stylist wanted to trim and I ask why and she said for split ends and I ask where? Then she looked at my ends and she couldn't find any so she said well they just look funny. I'm like I like funny so leave them alone.

[@ladyofwisdom2]

I just happened to read this comment. Girl, I hope that this comment gets several likes. I watched countless videos with folks doing trims every other month and wondering why their hair has been the same length for 2 or 3 yrs. Lol. If you stop chopping off your hair every darn month maybe it will grow. Lol.

[@ElegantPaws01]

Say it so the ones in the back can hear....The longer it is the curl pattern does appear looser because of weight.

[@JGT318]

My hair, which I used to call 4x, got past shoulder length with zero weight/stretching of curl effects. I guess it depends on how thick a person's strands are. Mine was light, delicate and broke if you looked at it wrong. 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@ProudMommyOf3PawneePrincesses]

The longer (& heavier) my hair got, it went from kinky, tight organized curls I had as a young girl to a few years of unruly, wavy mess stage til got to my bra line & weight sorta "pulled" hair down w/ gravity. Yet EVERY wash day...i STILL section it out bc all my newest growth will curl up bc hasn't been "weight trained" at my scalp.

[@destinyshae07]

You know what? My hair is just now getting bra strap length and the SHEDDING! I keep it braided, but taking it down and shampooing? Omg. Hair on the shower walls...I wasn't ready.

[@JadetheGoober]

Thats facts. Thank you for testifying sis 😂

[@ProudMommyOf3PawneePrincesses]

I have my hubby "snake our drain 2x month" bc we have myself + 3 girls (Japanese & native American coarse curly thick long hair- my 1/2 sister daughter- for real the MOST gorgeous in our family is Japanese & 1/2 black [African, Jamaican & Islander] yet her hair is long, less course & loose curly tresses TO DIE FOR, that Native hair is like hemp if braided, i swear. My eldest is ONLY 1 with straight very light brown hair & girl has nerve to want curls, bleach & color, etc & she sees myself & time spent 2x week (MANY hours) caring for our hair... I'm just blessed my girls value their heritage & quick to correct ppl (esp 'a woke Karen's daughter' whom WORST hair day was day her straighter broke- girl NVR had a crook neck a day in her life, let alone EVERY "wash day")when come at em "its wrong to braid your hair..." My girls know indigenous peoples around the world wore braids, rows, locs FOR CENTURIES & for practical purposes & it takes WORK to maintain natural hair!! All parents w/ kids who cant just wash, brush & go DESERVE 🏆 for maintaining & teaching generational tricks of the trade. My mama had to learn bc her Native hair is perfectly thick, long& straight yet a bit coarse...My daddy's Asian dna of thick curly hair made my head "beautiful CHAOS" & my hubby is Kiowa Pawnee so it just added to their ethnic beauty!!! I'm STILL proud of hazel eyes from my 1/8 french Canadian grandfather ancestor who was SO PROUD a native woman stole his ❤, took him OVER a year to learn HER language & he NVR returned to Europe, his love, life & legacy remain here-STILL!!

[@MagickalMermaid]

Wait til you hit Waist Length 😉 😂 It looks like a lot, but it's only bc the strands are so long and they curl and wind around each other so it looks like a ton of shedding.

[@ajeasmon0715]

For real! I was about to faint, I showed my hairdresser and she was like, it's likely to be relaxed ends, don't worry about it.

[@pwilson5625]

Your hair isn't shedding a ton because it's long. Your hair is shedding a ton because you keep it braided and the shed hairs are just piled up because they can't shed in the braids. My hair is 3 inches away from tailbone (4a/3c, medium density). I get a quarter size worth of shedding each wash day, but I wash and deep condition without fail once a week, and wear my hair out.

[@hustlherpreneur2731]

I agree, no one told me either. I also feel like I have become lazier, the longer my hair gets when it comes to taking care of it. My buns are legendary #natural :)

[@blackgothgoddess3164]

Buns and braided pigtails for me! So simple yet cute and protective

[@sensimania]

Me too. This pandemic and the numerous lockdowns have given me the opportunity to wear my head scarf with a baseball cap whenever I leave the house. I haven't got time or patience to style butt length hair, lol

[@vayoha02]

The tip about letting others trim your hair, is so true! I let a hair dresser trim my ends and she end up giving me a hair cut!! I never let a hair dresser cut my hair again. I cut my own when I feel like it which is about twice a year unless I have fairy knots.

[@gayletilley1375]

Yeah they get scissor happy

[@sable7114]

Wonder why that happens to so many people. I had a relaxer, not curly hair, when my trim ended up being five in so I know she knew what she was doing. She could see clearly. Everyone else noticed too. No point when everyone is complimenting your haircut and you keep saying I had a trim and then you see the Expressions on their faces! In my case , I think it was done on purpose and I have never ever since then allowed anyone to trim my hair. I do it myself using the Search and Destroy method. No split ends or damage, no shears or trimming.

You have to comb the shed hair out before you wash it. Then you will have no shedded hair in the shower. Also I use a strainer and cover the drain. That way you can monitor the amount of hair you lose.

[@monie948]

Our natural 4C hair will not necessarily hang. please look at efik Zara's KZbin page. you will see that her hair is very long but it still grows up and out and horizontal. Our natural4c hair when it's stretched will hang, but natural 4C hair does not do that without it being stretched.

My hair grew wearing buns. I alternate between a bun and a wash and go and the occasional ponytail or blow outs in the fall. I do not recommend the blowouts and hair straightening.

[@camillewaugh3458]

Long hair is annoying. So much effort. I got my "hang time", didn't realise why my hair was behaving this way. 3 year ago, it was a perfect, fluffy, round fro. Now its more like sideshow bob

[@camillewaugh3458]

Not sure about curl pattern change, my 4c still looks like 4c

[@kimberlywilliamsplummer8572]

To me, shedding depends on 3 things: 1. How moisturized your hair is, 2. How long it’s been since it was combed or brushed through (removing naturally shed hair, that is supposed to shed and 3. If your ends are healthy or split. I have 3C/4A fine, but dense hair (a lot of strands per inch so it’s thick) and is bra strap length straight, ear length curly and just barely shoulder grazing length curly and stretched. There have been times when I had really been on point with my routine for months, that I lose a shockingly small amount of hair on wash day. There haven’t been times when it seemed like ALL of my hair came out on wash day (ends way overdue for a trim AND went much longer then normal between washes, so shed hair was just sitting in my hair and all came out during detangling). I don’t believe, that you shed more hair just because your hair is long (length being the only factor).

[@lhorne4808]

I'm so thankful that there are products that either cover the drain or are inserted into the drain to keep your hair from clogging the drain! They catch most of the hair and I check mine every wash to clean it. My daughter's hair is very curly and seems to grow in a spiral which means you won't see the growth as easily as you do on mine. My hair is just wavy, so growth is visible immediately.

[@asyburon442]

Thank you so much for this, I noticed that the longer my hair gets the thinner my ends looks. I’ve been cutting my ends every other week because of thinking my ends were damaged but in 3 years I only blow dried my hair once so I was so confused about this. Thanks again

I really like this, and I realized that my curl pattern is not that tight curl that it was when my hair was short. Also, I realized the enormous amount of shedding and I was wondering if something was wrong, but thank you for that clarity. All the best sister.

[@EpiCoconut]

Yes! Twist and Trim has worked best for me too. You CAN clearly see your rough thin old tips. You feel em too!

[@alexiawhitecloud1238]

What works for one won't work for everyone. Best advice i needed.

[@dnw75]

Thank you for that advice on trimming the ends of your hair while in twists. I've been trying to figure out how to trim my ends, because my hair hasn't been straightened in the nearly 2.5 years I've been natural. And I twist my hair all the time too.

[@NaturallyMarked]

I have a trimming video with twist if want to see how its done before doing it yourself

All I know is the dirtier my hair the more it grows. BEST BELIEVE IT 😂❤️

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

It's not the dirt, it's the leaving your hair alone for a long time

[@jaz_ofalltrades]

I trim my hair using the twist method. Just started doing it out the blue and haven't looked back

[@AuntyM66]

Yes, I do shed a lot and bath plug clogs. So I use plug strainer to catch the hair. It took a least three years for my hair became longer. I cut my hair short 4 years ago and my hair grew back in 1 year. When I straighten my hair first then trim.

[@Amenranka]

Thank you very much. I have been shedding so much I was thinking “what the hell”. This laid my mind to rest. Omg...you really answered all of my concerns. My hair was not looking the same with my twist outs so I guess my curl pattern changed. I was seriously considering chopping it off and starting over. I’m not a fan of protective styles but I guess they are necessary. Styling my hair in the mornings to go work can make one late. I have subscribed to your channel.

[@NaturallyMarked]

Lol yea if you having certain problems protective styles is a great way to be able to reach your goals but if you don't like protective styling I really don't know what to tell you just try to do what you're doing and figure out a way to reach your goals and welcome lol sorry I have no ideas for you

[@mimim6857]

I started my natural hair journey when I moved to NC. Due to the humidity I kept my hair in a protective style from March - October. Once October came I would wear my hair. I had it trimmed, deep conditioned, hot oil treatment.

Is your beanie satin lined?! It’s so cute lol

[@bespokebonnie3187]

Omg yes the drain clogging #truestory 🤣🤣 baking soda and warm vinegar unclog it super quickly ☺️

[@patriciaclark4387]

Just subscribed to your channel. Very informative. I cut all my hair off, two years ago, because it was extremely heat damaged. Now I'm natural and my is growing rapidly. So thank you for sharing your journey. Looking forward to seeing more of videos. 😘

[@NaturallyMarked]

Welcome! And thanks so much for your story

[@starbright3320]

This is very good information. I'm going through this problem now. I don't trim my hair, only is the strains the are thin and clip the bottom part that remains .

[@marciacole8647]

I really need this video, thanks so much for the tips!!! I'm currently transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. My last relaxer was May 2020, my big chop is set for February. I was pretty scared about the fact that my hair will be looking short for a long time but your video gave me courage. Wish me luck on this journey!!

As soon as she said shedding hair, I stayed😂my hair reaches bra strap length and i can make a toupee out of the shedded hair. Sheesh. And the drains are clogged every other wash day, we have a special bobby pin for such an occasion....blech🤢🤢

[@teresaabonambugre7219]

Saaaame!

[@maryapatterson]

With covid-19 and lockdown, we have the opportunity to get to know our hair. To give your hair a rest. To try out plaits and twists. To try out those bargains you got on Black Friday. To learn canerow!You will never get this time again!

[@MsJ.TeacherToTech]

Yep. In many ways (not C19) but the time spent at home really allowed me to figure some things out. Hair... WFPB Eating habits etc... 👍🏿

[@maryapatterson]

@@MsJ.TeacherToTechPre pandemic we were all living on a hamster wheel. Non stop running! From work to the gym, pick up the kids etc etc. One of the main reasons people say they wear wigs and extensions is because of time or they don't know how to take care of their own natural hair. Lockdown was the perfect time to learn. It was the perfect time, because it wasn't just you off, but everyone else was also off too! Now of course,for some people, they were still working from home and having to educate their children as well.But not everybody. Plus we were not going anywhere! No raving, no parties, no work dinners

[@teesulli833]

I've been growing out my TWA for about 16 months now and would love to get to armpit length as my goal. Thank you for the great tips!!

Enjoyed the video once we got past the drains!!! 😂😂😂 a clogged sink tub 🛀 whatever get clogged is a situation we have all probably dealt with a one time or another😳toilet all those are subject to a clogging 😂😂😂 so yes indeed gotta watch and manage what’s going down the drains!!!and the garbage disposal as well! Ok lady thanks for sharing first time on the site! So I suppose the wrap is your protective style? 🧐 have a great day! So I will subscribe and see what you are sharing on hair or what ever 😃 thanks have a good day! Well make it great!

[@JayKylplays]

omg i noticed my curl pattern was a bit straighter and i thought i had heat damage which is weird cause i never used heat.that makes alot of sense that the longer the hair becomes the curl pattern will change

[@RenataEGreen]

Thank you very good information....I have been really concerned about my hair shedding. I brush and comb my hair everyday.

[@hoosieraussis1]

The Tub Shroom has been a lifesaver during wash|detangle seasons catching all the shed hair in the drain. To remove your existing tub stopper, just put it in the closed position then twist the stopper off.

[@LunaLuna-ud2jk]

I have a birthmark too!!!!! But mine covers half of the left side of my face.

[@NaturallyMarked]

I knew a girl in school with your birth mark😃😃

[@iwrist313]

Great tips. I started to go get my hair trimmed but I have been trimming after I twist for years. Thank for stopping me and realizing I was doing the right thing already.

[@sonyapeach]

My hair grows when I don’t do anything to it. Like literally nothing. It’s about half an inch from waist length and I don’t know what to do with it.

[@e.mtucker6366]

That tip about trimming is on point

[@Shawney517]

Everyone is different. My hair grows down. 5 years in & my hair is past my shoulders wet. I wash once per week. I get it trimmed, dyed, and blow dried once per year. The rest of the year is ponytails & twist outs.

[@JimiBegbaaji]

As I came here for tips on threading my hair. I'll trim the ends as I go. Thank you.

[@deepdarkmelanin]

Love this video. Thanks for the tips for those that would like to see their length. It’s really not a big deal for me, but my mom has been wanting me to get a silk press for a while now. I just tell her “one day” knowing it’ll never happen. So, I’ll either do a roller set or flexible rods.

Yes I big chopped in August and now ilooks different with great curls ince it has grown around 3 inches.

Different hair products can also change your curl pattern which I was very surprised at. When I Used the Shea Moisture products that had jamaican castor oil, apple cider vinegar and peppermint it tightened my curls.

[@laurenpharaoh7931]

So true. Nice video🌱. I saw a post that said "You have amazing slip and definition with silicone conditioners but you're too afraid to break the rules." I've followed the rules for long before transitioning and chopping. I'm at that point where I just listen to and feel my hair and use what it drinks up regardless of certain rules.

[@LadyRM1]

Thanks for the great info, especially about the shredding. I am currently growing my hair naturally.
