Taking Down My 5 Month Old Braids!! l Extreme New Growth + Styling/ Length Check!

[@Mskyraelise]

The dirt is not what made your hair grow. Not touching it for an extended period of time promotes growth. Dirty scalp cliffs your pores and prevents new strands from coming through which can prevent thickening of the hair. Long hair is great but not at the expense of healthy hygiene.

Dirt doesn’t make hair grow…. Your hair is beautiful ❤

[@toyarj37]

Ok so I do this and keep my hair braided every 3-4 months and my hair grows at least two inches a month. Tips are: clip your ends before you start this and everytime they come out the braids. Her hair should not have looked like that. I put treatments like scalp treatments in my hair everyday. Nothing specific just anything from Amazon that says growth and I switch it every month. Never the same treatment back to back. I keep my hair moisturized with oil water and she’s butter. I wash and deep condition my braids 1-2 times a month. I do scalp massages everyday. I wear glueless wigs/crochet braids/crochet hair. Wear what’s easy. You do this consistently and there is no reason why your hair shouldn’t be down your back

[@walakirk5270]

Can you name drop some of the scalp treatments please

[@walakirk5270]

& are you doing the inversion method or just regular massages @toyarj37

[@Shanonamin]

Dirt doesn’t help your hair grow, that’s you leaving your hair alone. Dirt will clog your pores and prevent new strands from pushing through. Keep your scalp clean.

She's not saying your hair won't grow, if dirty. But that it's the low manipulation that aided in length retention.

You can thicken your hair by washing it more. A dirty scalp produce thin strands.

[@ariniblackross0827]

I had protective styles for 6month but never ever have this problem, It's all because I shampoo my hair once a week.

[@Claudiinha33]

Me too. Now Im shampooing 2 times a week because Im using a hair growth serum. I’m on my 4th month.

[@justsonya8196]

If you don't use amino acids, you should absolutely! I'm a bio student (pre med) and I am obsessed with botanical and the internal tract system. BCAA would be perfect as most contain 18-22 amino acids, but If you're interested I recommend Cysteine, Arginine and Methionine. The reason MSM crystals were so popular was because of the sulfur which is found in cysteine which is crucial for hair growth, Rice water again cysteine and methionine, Chebe powder too.

[@lifeaslee222]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@EBaines924]

Looks like you could use a lot more off those ends I understand you want to retain length but it would look much fuller if you did

[@olyviajazzmyne7633]

Jesus that shedding is crazy girl! Start using the aphogee keratin and Green tea reconstructor ASAP !!! Just spray it on ur braids and go! It works magic !

[@lifeaslee222]

[@britneyhoward5793]

To get thicker hair, you gotta get rid of all the split ends altogether or be on a trim schedule depending on how damaged your hair is. Great video ❤️

[@lifeaslee222]

I think I am going to do a big chop soon! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@TheDivaIsIntheDetails]

I leave my cornrows in from a range of 6-12 weeks, but I wash with shampoo diluted with shampoo Ina squeeze bottle every 2 weeks and the use braid spray ir a spray leave in like Oyin Handmade Greg Juice and seal with my olive oil, avocado, jojoba oil mix. If this works for you, good deal though.

[@fabuloose15]

Protein treatment and serums builds strong hair strands and prevents lots of shedding. Keep strands/ends moisturized while in the braids, water and a light leave in conditioner does well. For scalp care do msm & aloe mix and seal scalp with light or heavy oil(depends on how long you keep braids end). Never apply just oil to the scalp or strands of hair because you’re just sealing in dryness. And of course what you eat and trims

I love a good protective style 😭 my best tip to tell anyone when it comes to thinning that results from them is to focus frfr on taking care of your hair!! Make your hair a priority!!! Learn how to take care of it even if you gotta routinely go to a salon. Personally believe I should be able to have a flawless install and healthy healthy hair underneath!

Hello I use aloe vera & fenugreek spray every other day, your ends are the oldest part of your hair so I recommend keeping your braids oiled, especially wearing a protective style & drink water,water, water.

Must be a combination of both as the hair grows about 1cm per month. So if after 2 weeks the braid is tired and looks 5cm away from the root is probably not all new growth 😅
