i’ve notice that with my hair, anything that includes cornrows( such as sew ins and crochet) my hair grows a lot.

How long do you keep crochet braids for?

[@bryannamarcella]

Long term protective styles 1. Wigs/Weaves/crochets: no leave out. Wigs are best when hair is braided down underneath. 2. Cornrows: without adding anything on top (wig or crochet). 3. Box braids: better if they are bigger instead of smaller

[@changreen4918]

Good points. These protective styles does help the hair grow because it helps you to retain length and though some of us don't think so, our hair is always growing. We just need to learn how to retain length.

The friction analysis between wigs, weaves and crochet was spot on! You're a genius. Thanks for sharing 😍

[@brookebenjamin1226]

I think this is good but I noticed crotchet gives me more growth than wigs. The reason why is because my scalp can breathe! When you wear a wig and a cap it’s like wearing a band aid. Yes you can take it off at night, but then you put a scarf on at night so your scalp is rarely breathing. Hence your hair grows under wigs but for me it is noticeably thinner.

[@okaysoanyways2645]

Me too, just learning now how to retain the length

[@xaitiie8485]

Same here!

[@deva190]

So based on the comments below, braids, cornrows, wigs, grow hair. That means that those individuals who, say have relaxed loose hair never need a touch up because their hair isn't growing. Or those with loose dyed hair never have to dye their roots because their hair isn't growing. Or those who have loose natural hair never gain any length because their hair isn't growing. No people. It is that protective styles help MAINTAIN LENGTH as does simply leaving the hair alone.

[@jasminevaliente96]

Yea people confused hair growth with hair retention. Most peoples hair grow. If it's never passing a certain length it's because the ends are breaking.

[@MsJoyce31202]

[@ladyofwisdom2]

I personally wear wigs but I don't use glue or any adhesives,just an elastic band to secure my wig. My hair is always in braids. I wear a cap under my wigs but I take my wigs off every night to moisturize& I always sleep in a satin bonnet or a satin scarf. Even with wigs, you still have to properly moisturize your hair, co wash, shampoo and take the braids down because your hair will tangle up, get dry& fall out. My real hair is long but never as thick as I would prefer it to be. Wearing a sew in with leave out broke the top of my hair off yrs ago so I never had one again. I don't know too much abt box braids or crochet braids.

[@youtubeaddict5663]

ladyofwisdom2 everything you have just said is me all over, wow! My main problem is that I don’t moisturise and shampoo it until I change wigs and I could be wearing a wig for up to 8 weeks lol.

[@kathrynwilliams3722]

It's not one size fits all, its through trial and error, u will find what works for u. These videos are from people who have tried what works for them. What works for them doesn't work for everyone. Wash, condition and protective style, experiment with different products and with time ur hair will get health. Sometimes u need to see a doctor who may find u need more water or vitamins or no perms for a while, do u first and see. We tend to come here and see people with long flowing hair and want to know what they used which may not work for us yet they feel like it should. Stop hanging on every word these people say or do and find what works for your particular hair. Their are no magic potions out here, but persistence in daily hair care. Yes, they all can give tips as far as breakage or how many times to wash and condition which all should know their hair.

I went through a whole natural hair journey and still going, but one thing I can say for sure is that weaves and wigs and crochets and stuff like that isn't for me. I have nothing against them, I just wouldn't want them in my hair. I have before and it just isn't me. I used to twist my hair all the time and also, over summer, I put my hair in individual braids. But recently, when I tried them, I didn't look right, so I stick with two braids, wash on Saturdays, rice water and conditioner works for me, but I want to try other things like aloe vera, onion juice, clay masks, ACV rinses and herbs and stuff like that. I also need to change my diet and work out more. I just need to buy more walking shoes because the ones I have now are getting worn out. And I also have a sweet tooth, so changing my diet will be a bit of a challenge. Another thing to add is that drinking water helps. I drink nothing but water. I did sneak a little soda in system the other day and realized that it's not worth it. I'm perfectly fine with just water. Trial and error on your own hair helps. What works for one person may not work for you. For example, I have high porosity hair, but I have been following these low porosity youtubers because they have low porosity, so I thought I did. It's the same with hair styles. I can't really say which hair style works the best for me because they all kind of end with the same result. I never see much of a difference, or if I do, I wouldn't know because my memory is terrible. I do want to try individual braids again. I might try putting them in tomorrow. I just washed my hair today (no rice water, my hair needs a break from the protein) and put some olive oil product in my hair and it is really soft. I want to stretch it first and see if that helps and go on with it. If it still doesn't look right, I'll go back to two braids, or the style my hair is in right now (three big braids on each side, going back into two buns) and leave it like that and do individual braids when I go home (I'm in college right now and can't afford to look like a who done it). So, yeah.

I'm a lazy natural and idk how to do my hair😄 But it's never too late to learn, right?

Do you ever have your hair down?

How did you made the half braided style at 3:20, did you use a sew in for the back? I would love to see a tutorial for that hairstyle its so beautiful!
