One Year Natural Hair Journey- Fast Growth!

[@cupcakes4444]

your hair grows fast for one year. I've been natural for three year and we have the same length

[@TheGowdyGirls]

Right! It was growing pretty fast, but now I started slacking and I started having set backs :(

[@Bugs_bunnie43]

The Gowdy Girls happens to the best of us. my hair reached a plato last year but has reverted to growing this year which is strange since this has been my most stressful year and i barely had time to care for it. less conditioning and moisturizing but it came through for me. now trying to work out a game plan to reach my hair goals.

[@havingfunwithme1869]

Chantel its you genes ... some people genes have faster hair growth than others

[@cainini6129]

Tj Rotich a Plato? Does it mean when hair starts to grow slower?

[@SwaggerLuvSongs]

Juschillinxa_•• I think she meant plateau. That means state of little or no change like stagnant. You can use it to describe anything that has stopped progressing.

[@byrondial7234]

Im 12 years old and im on my dads account. I stopped relaxing my hair at september so ive been transitioning for 11 months and after the 4 of july is over im about to do the big chop. So pray for me because im kind of nervous

[@fujo44]

God bless you love

[@andreiamuhitu159]

I'm so glad you started early tell mom and dad a Random person (me) said to support you. If only I knew at 12.

[@Randomhumanbeing00]

You got this!!

[@zailyahlavender8081]

I'm 12 too and I stopped relaxing December I cut my hair in April and now my hair is her length when it was 2016 I have good genetics in my family so that's probably why

[@hey_its_karce7281]

Okay but can we talk about just how pretty she is? 😣😍💛💛💛😍😍😍

[@christyjohnson1799]

my fave pic is the comparison with the two puffs. mini puff to power puff!

[@TheGowdyGirls]

[@therealbeauty_k]

[@mileycaprice5777]

Thats not 1 year growth but 1 year and 7 months growth .you chopped your hair with 7 months .and start telling by 1 month again

[@maudelarenne9664]

True

[@dwhite8997]

I grew my hair out for six months, then cut the relaxed hair off but... I also took 2 or 3 inches of the natural hair with it. Just to assure any processed or damaged hair was gone. I left 2 inches of natural hair and I called that the beginning of my natural hair journey. So, I feel her

[@rosewithhope]

For some reason the small little puffs were the cutest thing. ❤

[@charissehuddleston-christi3587]

That was awesome Aaliyah! I'm totally inspired. I loved the 8th two puff style. That is so cute. I'm 1yr post and I big chopped 2mos ago. So this video was just what I needed to see, especially since you have my hair texture. Thx you so much for sharing. I can't wait to see Ashley's video!

[@TheGowdyGirls]

+Charisse Christian Haha! Aww thanks!! I'm glad I could help to inspire you. Once you chop that hair off ain't no going back lol but I hope you're enjoying the transformation, if not I'm sure it will grow on you! :)

[@charissehuddleston-christi3587]

The Gowdy Girls​ No, I don't care to look back. Girl, I love my texture and the versatility of it. I feel like a Chia Pet tho, b/c my hair has NEVER grown so fast! LMBO. I love it!! But, keep these videos coming along with tutorials girls. Thxs again Aaliyah. Come on Ashley and the other sisters w/the journey videos! Lol :-)

[@TheGowdyGirls]

+Charisse Christian Haha!! Right! Looking back I couldn't wait to put my hair in a ponytail and now that I can it's so surreal. It's amazing how fast hair grows, but now I miss my short hair. lol We definitely will keep working on them and you are so welcome! And tell them again LOL

[@Mz.M.2757]

nicely done!! thanks for sharing. your hair is bomb!

[@TheGowdyGirls]

+Malerie Wilson Aww thank you so much!! :D

[@knotyouraveragestylist7230]

I absolutely LOVE your channel! I've been natural my whole life but suffered from heat damage and I recently cut all my heat damage off in April of 2016. Right now I'm really trying to relearn how to work with my hair and what styles to do to it to help it grow and be thick and healthy. This video really helped me and I feel stronger now just seeing your hair progress throughout the past year. You gave me a lot more patience just learning about your journey. Thankyou so much!! 😊

[@TierneyNicole]

7 years (since 2012) natural starting over for the 6th time, I had so much trial & error but hopefully I can maintain Moisture & length this time around. Thanks for the inspiration, I really enjoyed this 🥰

[@dequetta_lashae]

I transitioned for a year and will be All natural September 1st.. 2015 to 2017 has been a rough few years lol but i can honestly say I have seen progress in my hair to

[@TheGowdyGirls]

Thank you!! 😊😊

[@jadee4135]

[@laurencia5125]

my mother could not handle my hair so she relaxed it

[@SitaSita-TeamBigMirr]

Inspirational. I've been transitioning for abt a year and I'm nervous about the chop..I haven't dealt with my hair too much only when I wash and condition between weaves..I'm eager to know what my hair is like but still nervous lol

So pretty I loved this video of your natural hair journey

[@dezsmitj3583]

I've been forced to get relaxers for all my life and idek how my natural hair looks or the curl pattern. About 2 weeks ago I decide to go natural but right now I got box braids in and it's already been a month without a perm, almost two. 14 years old btw

[@TheGowdyGirls]

Yaayyy!! Honestly if I could've gone natural earlier I would. It was the best decision I ever made for myself while I was in my teens. My mom stopped doing my hair and it was so damaged! I hope you decide to continue on the natural journey!

[@RomAsare]

Did you texturize your hair to make it easier to manage? Love how your hair grows fast

[@AndreenaBrown]

Ive been natural over 3 years and can't seem to get a regimen. Im clueless about what to even do to care for my hair. Im a natural braider and im always doing everyone else hair making it grow but mine is suffering. My hair is so thick and craves more moisture than I have time to give it...help. does anyone know any products that moisturize longer than 3 days

[@dominiquewatkins637]

What kind of hair products do u use. Cause when I was little my mom would always put perms in my head. And after that last perm I got I decided to go natural. But I’ve been natural going on two years now and my hair is the same length it was when I first got it cut. And it is about the same length as your when u first got it cut.

[@nyahoffline]

This is so inspiring to me ❤️❤️

[@minelsapizarro191]
