ONE YEAR OF NATURAL HAIR GROWTH | How much length do you retain over a year?

HEY GIRL HEY!
Hi beautiful souls! In today's video, we are going down memory lane to see how much hair my hair grew last year and how much of that length I retained. Many of your guys tells me that my hair grow fast, but I have average hair growth. I am also scissor happy but once you stop focusing on length and focus on healthy hair instead, the length will come inevitably.
Also, it is quite hard to TELL how much your hair has grown. Shrinkage is part evil and will play with your emotions, so stay woke!
IF you feel like your hair isn't growing, be patient because it is :)

“Has it grown? Who knows?” is really a forever mood. Some days i’m like “yaaassss come on growth” and other days i’m like “what have I done? Is my hair shorter now?” STRESS 😂😂😂

[@GracefulKnots]

That is me lol

[@brindageorge701]

Thx for being honest. That's something we black women are not permitted to be about this natural hair thing. I get particularly tired of not being able to comb my hair through without using a gazillion products and wetting it everyday. And the growth seems hidden in shrinkage. I was amused when I finally cut it short (myself) and flat ironed it, my relieved 😌 Millenial age son flatly commented, " When I was here last, you were doing an Einstein thing." Ha!

I’m at a point where I care more about thickness and health over length especially because I have fine hair and some parts of my hair are extremely volatile and breakage prone.

[@leshcamp7281]

Me too. My strands are really fine

[@francoisekaoma5292]

Me too

[@estherolalere1138]

Me too sis! Like fr I honestly couldn’t gaf about length atm, just fullness/health

When you go from a fade to being able to do a twist out, you can tell it's grown, but after that, it is hard to know. We can see your growth probably better than you can 🤩

[@fattysl26]

Yeah pretty much. I always feel like my hair is short until I stretch it. 4c shrinkage is no joke, so unless I stretch or straighten mine it will always look short 😃

[@kiaundriabellerose5027]

I keep track by how long my braids are when I’m preparing for a braid out

[@Tina_O]

Maybe it’s just me, but I embrace 4c shrinkage. I’m more concerned about health than length. Your hair in its shrunken state looks AMAZING. And those protective styles you did look bomb! I know it sounds crazy, but your natural hair truly suits you.

[@Anonyme67]

Shrinkage the sign of healthy hair. She doesn’t too much manipulation reason why the length retention is smaller.

[@sessih1302]

@@Anonyme67 did you mean thats why shes retaining more legnth?

[@Neosoul_prima]

I knew my hair grew, when I went from a whole bald undercut, to being able to do full flat time twist outs in just a year. To me it’s all about the health of the hair. When I cut about 3 inches of hair off in late 2019, then another series of heavy cuts throughout 2020, to seeing such fullness in my twist outs, let’s me know I’m doing absolutely wonderful. Health over length, will always get the job done!

[@JennJackson]

Absolutely!! These ends hold us back by cause breakage and ruins our styles anyways. Thanks for sharing 🔥

[@hairounaempress]

Mine ain’t grown out from my big chop in 2016 and my 9 year old son hair is down the middle of his back and both of our hair is taken care of the same way and doesn’t like the same products ... I don’t know what to do at this point

[@Neosoul_prima]

@@hairounaempress try to find a routine, that works for you specifically. Really work on feeling what’s going on during your wash days, and your nutrition. Most of all, when something feels beneficial, be consistent with it.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Okay, before I comment something relevant I’m just gonna leave a 👏🏾 for those biceps! Lol! Sis, if it wasn’t for length checks on KZbin I’d have no idea how long my hair was/is. Healthy hair is definitely the name of the game! I love your hair!!😍

[@JennJackson]

it's all that detangling I've be doing LMAO

[@cmenowOn]

Jenn, girl, you don’t KNOW how much hope you and your vids give me! 💕

[@tyronaalston3708]

My hair is just like yours so I can relate. The shrinkage is REAL.

[@kraxykam7242]

It's videos like these that make me appreciate Jenn and my natural hair in general a lil bit more ♥️

[@MakeupandMentalHealth]

Love that you promote healthy hair over everything else. My hair grows out/gets bigger verses hanging down. So to see length I have to be looking for it or stretching my hair. Others are always so surprised when I stretch it because shrinkage is real lol.

[@JennJackson]

Same here!!!

[@jaidalovesyou8799]

Thank you! I love this it makes me feel a little better about a protective styling all 2021 journey for myself and me always being anxious about seeing my hair constantly to see if it grew

[@Jojodancer1978]

It definitely has grown Jenn. You're good at creating those styles. Beautiful 4c hair; great video.

[@michelleelizabeth797]

I can never get over how gorgeous your short fro was 😍

[@charlotteroberts3763]

I'm looking forward to growth this year because I will be doing protective styles all year. If shrinkage comes, I will embrace it. I want healthy longer hair.I know that since I will be doing it myself that I don't have to worry about the tension of a stylist.

Looking for healthy hair like yours and then length will follow thanks for giving us an insight to the Natural hair chronicles

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy mini twists! My favorite style on you and the reason I have my locs! 😍

Yessss I have to do them again! ❤️

[@tarynmichelleart]

i love this! i want to do videos like this every year, especially comparing specific hairstyles one year apart.

[@JennJackson]

You should - such a good way to actually keep track of your journey x

[@arielhaynes5438]

What I would say is a length check every six months or so for me, does gauge how well your routine is working. To kind of assess your hair health too. I'm a lazy natural so I don't do the most but I dust and trim when necessary.

[@quelsplace5956]

I also embrace my shrinkage. I love the 'springyness' of my hair, especially in twists

[@barbarahodges8835]

You hair looks really healthy, thick and it it looks like it has grown. It is gorgeous.

Yes I'm smiling at your statement towards the end ie "staring at your hair everyday " That will be me. I feel like I am watching the hair grow out of my shaft everyday lol especially as it is just growing back from alopecia and I can't wait to leave it out. Hopefully I will be able to soon, will do a length check in one of my hair videos soon too:)

You’re so funny and beautiful! God bless you and your beautiful hair♥️ you make me laugh when you smile and I’m your intro when you said, “I’m Jenny J” 😂👏🏽👏🏽♥️I love how you embrace the out come of your natural hairstyles. What you said after the last hairstyle you did of the twist out, too funny! Yes to the growth, thank God 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

For me creating an album on my phone with pictures/selfies showing my hair spaced 4 months apart helps me to see that my hair is growing and I am retaining length! I cut my hair to a low fade nearly 4 years ago and my longest layer is just about bra strap length stretched out.

Normally it is harder for the person self to see whether their hair has grown. Usually people around you are the one who notice the growth first. As a subbie I could really see your hair getting longer. Is it just me or do your sides grow the quickest cause gurll they same to be in a race compaired to the rest of your hair😁. With me it is the middle and the back. The front just chills at chin length🙄🤣
