Stop blaming genetics and grow out your Natural hair

[@CoilyCode]

This journey is absolutely transformative. Why? Because for most black women, we’ve hid behind perms, wigs, weave, and so many other things that we’ve lost touch with who we actually are. The beauty we inherently have. I’m looking forward to the day it will be absolutely normal for little black girls to have long hair along with a self-esteem that embraces the natural texture, density of their hair. God gave women…long hair as her glory. And black women were NOT left out of that equation. All of us women, who desire long hair, can enter their long hair era. We CAN. If I had known how to maintain my hair from the moment I could, it would be to my ankles…TODAY. You Lindsay are proof and the many other women here on KZbin with long natural hair. I’m here for it ❤❤❤ I will add, it’s okay if you’re a woman with fine, low density natural hair. There is nothing wrong with not having THICK hair. Imagine how boring the world would be if everybody looked the same.

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

I couldn't agree more! And oh yes absolutely... everyone can't have the same density even though density can be enhanced. The beauty is in the fact that we get to be beautiful wearing our Unique Natural Hair 😊. Thank you so much for sharing...I appreciate you!

I'm so glad I made the choice to not get a perm when I was com I ng of age. I feel I was able to keep myself.

I am dreaming of the day that Black women stop mistreating their hair with glued weaves, tight braids and relaxers. I see so many tortured scalps. Your words are empowering!

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

I dream of that day too! It'll be total "LIBERATION"! Thank you for your support always...I appreciate you 😊

[@yardleyj9391]

I agree. Many women are not willing to put in the work. It takes patience and perseverance. I lost half of my hair in November 2021 due to menopause. I started diy hair masks taught by a couple of KZbin hair gurus. It took me 18 months to see the new growth. 2 years in, my hair is thriving. But I religiously treated my hair on a weekly basis. March 2024 l changed my regimen to a low manipulation one. Thanks for all your great advice. You are so right! ❤

@moreni2nd405 You have genetic factors that will not change no matter how healthy and clean your lifestyle is. Healthy hair comes in all lengths. My focus is not length. If you think epigenetics can totally change your hair, go for it, but it doesn't mean it is going to happen.

[@TC-gx3qn]

I love this! Genetics determines the rate at which the hair grows (some average, some very fast, some slow) but it all grows unless there is a health issue. Even those with a slow growth rate can eventually grow long hair if they are retaining the length.

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

@@TC-gx3qn Exactly!

[@ev6564]

I agree! We need to stop balming genetics. And a genetic trait does not even mean that it is a rare trait. I'm sure most of us can grow long hair unless there is an underlying health issue

[@1jazzyphae]

Facts. The growth isn't the issue. The retention is.

[@Felicias_Box]

Thank you so much. I’ve never considered genetics when it comes to hair growth but I will say I can’t find any products that my hair seems to love. I will use a product for a long time and then out of nowhere it stops working.

[@Cooltink101]

It’s the same for me

[@NgoziKOka]

Just make sure that your hair is always moist and low manipulation

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

I don't think it's the products. Check your routine...maybe you need to make certain changes. Maybe your hair needs you to remoisturise more often or less often..or maybe it's time to get a protein treatment...maybe it's time to wear the protective styles for lesser number of weeks...Your Hair is telling you something...you just need to listen and figure it out. You've got this!

I used to wear WnG style always…but now that my hair has grown quite a bit….I find it easier to leave it in chunky twists and put it up on my head….still in the twists. I will explore wearing my hair out more (not in a head wrap) yet still in a protective style. WnG styling makes for many knots and tangles….twists keep my hair untangled and moisturized, as well as protects my ends. Thank you for this encouraging video! ❤️

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

Hi...Thank you! Everyday... it's now a lifestyle for me. You can start with just a few minutes daily like 90 seconds to 2 minutes daily....and gradually increase your timing as days go by. Or do the same few minutes every 2 days...just as your system can take it. It's something you train yourself to do gradually.

What can be the best regimen for 2c _3b hair? Can 4c regimens apply? What do I do with brown hair?

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

Type 4 Hair regimen may not apply to you because of the "complete" difference in curl pattern. For your hair type, moisture travels down from the scalp to hair strands faster than it does for us ...so you may not need the heavy butter(sealants) that type 4 uses. A sulphate free shampoo, Co wash(interchangeably), leave in Conditioner, and light weight oil. You guys use more of styling products than we do...like mousse, water and leave in spray to refresh your curls within the week(as you guys wear more of curly styles...you don't do much of protective Styling), or use a curl refreshing spray. Wash day is mostly once a week..unless your hair tells you otherwise. Deep condition once a week...then use Leave in, oil and any other styling product you have. These are the basics for all types 2 and 3a hair. You have to listen to your hair see if there is any part you need to do differently. As for the color of your hair...I don't advice using chemicals to alter the color...it might cause more damage.

Before you cut it. Try mixing very ripe avocados, eggs, 2 tbs spoon of any oil, 2 tbs of honey. Use this mask on a weekly basis. You will see the results in 3-4 months. Don't neglect moisturizing as needed.

[@Kemet1976]

Excellent video as always but i have to ask you about Male pattern boldness which can be genetic? I have friends who have a family history of baldness from generation to generation. There is also the female version. I just wanted to know your thoughts on it as it would be an interesting subject to maybe add to a later video.

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

For baldness cases, that are not as a result of a "health condition", there was a point when those follicles that later turn out "dead" could have been saved...if the person started at the early stages to seek help. Cos if one doesn't take the situation seriously and then the follicles die(that's where the hairs grow from)...there is nothing that can be done...except for a hair transplant. It takes a lot of commitment to follow it up in the very early stages... dermatologist/tricologist appointments, staying consistent with using products that help etc..

That depends on the length of your hair, how you wear your hair on a daily basis, and if you protect your hair to sleep at night.

[@rwconz_live2267]

I'm a male and I was just curious. Have you heard of a saying that goes: "Weaves actually protect and grow your hair"? I just find it nonsensical, but I wanted to know your opinion on this. I like Women with natural hair.

[@imdinma]

The idea behind that statement is that they dont touch their hair while under the wigs so it grows. In actuality its just a crutch and excuse to hide their hair for months

[@rue8847]

Yes genetics isn't everything BUT let's not pretend it doesn't play a role ! I like and follow your advices but let's be real it is your genetic which gave you this thick and full hair that you have ! Before discovering you, I did nothing, no regimen in fact I got even burnt by relaxer ! When I chopped it off my natural hair grew thick !! cuz my dad and his family side has very thick hair while my other sister got fine hair from my mom ! If a woman with very fine and thin hair were to follow your saying it would do a little something to her hair but sorry to disappoint she wouldn't have a full head like you... so YES to having a good routine and nutrition HOWEVER genetic also plays a part 🙌🏾

[@lindsaychrisharmony]

@@rue8847 Whether you agree or not honestly doesn't change the truth.

@lindsaychrisharmony yes you didn't state in the video that every women MUST be like yours but the thing is MAJORITY of your followers WANT AND DESIRE hair like yours! Dont act as if you are oblivious to that .I'm just saying that your advices are great, sure cuz even myself follow them however it's not going to work for everyone no matter how much for example a thin hair person does everything you recommend primarily because of genetic ! Deeply inside when we binge watching hair video, it's because we want the same. No point to argue... you do what you can to help people and I salute that but your advices, with how much good intentions you have won't give to all the same results. Thank you

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Generics only determines your curl pattern. My sis and I I have VERY African gene markers, and her hair is THINNER. Thick or thin, we are both capable of growing long hair it’s only a matter of how we take care of it because the tighter the curl the harder the retention (if you don’t treat it properly)

[@rosam674]

Everyone has the genetics to grow hair, but few people are willing to learn how to work with what God gave them to make it thrive. Many prefer shortcuts and envying others instead of tending to their own garden. We all have free choice. So when someone decides to care for what God gave them and get great results, the envying lot should not negate all their efforts with genetics.
