How often do you wash your hair? Also, do you take biotin or any b vitamins like in your multivitamin?

[@Tatianaclicks]

@@Becca14219 I wash it with shampoo 1-2 a month. I don’t take any vitamins at this point in time but I’m not against it, and I have in the past!

[@Becca14219]

When you cowash, do you condition afterwards?

[@Becca14219]

How often do you get a trim, and do you blow it out for trims?

[@Becca14219]

Do you recommend stretching curls with the blowdryer if you don’t like how tight/short your natural curls are

[@Keepitmovin72]

Ladies No, donate those products to women and children shelters in your area... They desperately need hair products for women, kids and teenagers there... Please don't THROW AWAY!!🙏🥰🙏

[@hi.goodbye2167]

Yes definitely!

[@thewaldengroupllc.2569]

Thank you! I was wondering what I could do with my products.

[@MimiNwabuokuMD]

Unfortunately, many shelters will not accept products that aren’t in unused, manufacturer-sealed containers. Ask me how I know this…😢

[@Sunshine_Hime]

Or to friends and family members because some shelters don't accept opened hair products, like the person above me commented.

[@user-sc2ei5dy6b]

I wore box braids 6months straight in 2023. Same braids. Didn't take them out. This was me leaving it alone. I still washed and conditioned and did maintenance. June-December my hair grew 5.5inches. Thinking about making content on it

[@carinaiboaya4868]

Pretty PLEASE make the content I would watch it

[@Mira_Bri]

This is the same for me. My hair thrives and goes crazy in braids/twists. I’ve learned products that work and how to style it when it’s down in its natural state.

[@VBoo459]

I did the same and it grew up my hair but it thinned it also and that was only 3 months. Turns out cornrows work better for me - so crochet braids and weaves. I’m going to try 3 months before potentially 6 months

[@shedocs]

Ditto I did a year… got me to waist length

[@notaytguru8214]

Tag me please, I had to cut my tailbone length hair to shoulder length due to covid 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@anaturalee8370]

I think it’s also because people are so caught up on the misconception that products “grow” our hair. They fail to realize that it’s the routine and consistency that promotes length retention !

[@VBoo459]

Weaves, wigs and braids can absolutely help your hair grow because it helps you NOT touch it. Just because it’s in those hairstyles doesn’t mean you ignore it. You wash, deep condition and oil it UPP before putting it away. You can still clean your scalp, you can still add light oils to your scalp and cowash your hair to add moisture to your strands. As long as you know how to properly and gently detangle without ripping your hair out then you win.

[@9Mountains9]

Yes only the basic styles but majority of these hairstyles do damage your hair long term over time. We all have that one or two aunt or mother in our community that wore extensions their entire life & grow old to start NEEDING them because they lost their hair.

[@artisticagi]

There’s a few KZbinrs on hair with hair longer than or as long as hers that just wear braids or twists 90% of the time…threading below It’s not to neglect it. Weaves are the worst because the scalp can’t breathe. But all else the natural hair and scalp can be taken care of beneath. Just watch out for the edges!

[@Becca14219]

Hey, just want to say that you are right, BUT if you did all of that(nourishing the hair and leaving it alone) but minus covering it with any other hair, it will thicken even more than usual because covering it with anything, while not as bad as manipulating it or other things you could be doing that hinder growth, covering it with anything DOES hinder it’s max potential. My hair thickens with wigs and being left alone (and nourished)but thickens even MORE being left alone (and nourished)minus any extra hair covering it or intertwining in it. Even if a man wore a hat everyday and took care of his hair underneath it, even tho his hair may look ok, his hair would still not be as thick as it could be because he wears that hat on top of it everyday. Our hair and scalp actually does love fresh oxygen and water as well, which is why added heavy oils on top of the hair that block water aren’t helping but that’s another topic. It’s possible that your hair is thriving but could be thriving EVEN MORE.

[@amaniiexxchnge]

@@9Mountains9well to be fair weaves and wigs weren’t as evolved as before and there was still mis information about what healthy hair is.

[@unlimitedpiecesofme]

Our mothers were doing just fine with blue magic and pink hair lotion …the minimum and now like you’re saying we seemed to think our hair is a lot of work. Why are we spending 300 on weaves and not our own hair that grows out of our scalp???

[@HumbleChilduk]

is braiding box braids that bad or it's fine as long as it doesn't hurt?

[@Levvy_783]

That's what I was missing all this time , I'm gonna try leaving it alone for now on . 😭🙏🏾

[@user-wn2es2ie8g]

@@rachelbindende9745 Well… it can be ok for a short amount of time if your hair is already healthy. But if it’s dry, brittle, and breaking off I wouldn’t do it. And ask your braider not to braid it extremely tight and also make sure you nourish your scalp while it’s in braids.

[@48mavemiss2]

I’ve learned all I need is Aunt Jackie’s products, scalp oil, my vitamins, water and a styler. And keep my ends trimmed.

[@Hairbytyra.s]

The only thing i can truly advocate for that is called “extra”, is Deep conditioner and oil rinsing after every wash. Cause where i live is extremely dry 🤣. I gotta put a heavy grease or an oil ON TOP of my leave in, to keep the moisture from running away 😭

[@Tatianaclicks]

But the thing is that isn't extra you are nourishing your hair with literally a quick and easy step!! Ill add this to my list of tips!! thanks girly

[@venaetheartist8067]

I love oil rinsing! Don't need a lot, and great nourishment for the hair 😄👌🏽

[@chocolatte522]

I oil... without the rinsing😂. I need as much nourishment as my hair is willing to absorb. Oleic fatty acids (monounsaturated) actually penetrates the shaft and soak into the cortex. This is what it means to "moisturize". Linoleic fatty acid coat and adhere to the strand forming a protective sheath, providing flexibility, slip, all which work to stave off splits and breakage. I've studied cultures and their age- old hair techniques and this is really what it boils down to. The magic isn't in all the stuff they use. It's in the logic: protect and nourish. They use simple hair styles that allow them to leave their hair alone. Mud/clay (otjize of the Himba people), chebe, henna, rice water, all build up and form protective coatings on the strands. It can make your hair stiff and dry though, and may not be practical for most naturals lol. Oils, leave in, and butters do the exact same thing for our texture. So trims/cutting isn't necessarily necessary. It now becomes an option: trim if you want to. Do so if you know you don't have the patience to be meticulous with aging ends, which is fine. Not everyone has the time lol. Since I started coating my hair my very low porosity hair, I hardly see any splits or breakage, if at all. I do deal with occasional fairy knots, but not enough to be a nuisance. And stretching generally deals with that. Then I style in such a way that keeps my hands out of my hair for about 7-10 days.

[@la54578]

My hair loves- olive oil after a wash!!! I never thought about that- it feels so moisturized with oil first! 😊

[@notaytguru8214]

What’s oil rinsing? 🧐

[@nicolewilliams9040]

I totally agree. Great video! I wash/deep condition weekly and usually 2-strand twist my natural hair & leave it alone until the next wash day & my hair has grown butt length. A braider asked me what I did to grow it out…just the basics really.

[@msJimiBadu]

One thing I learnt from having love for 5 years is that Less is More. In 5 years my hair grew from 3 inches to almost touching my waist, and all I did was wash my hair and leave it. Now that I’m curly again, I plan on doing what I did with my locs, which is letting my hair be with little manipulation as possible

[@Austinflwrz]

Ok so after shampooing, you put nothing In or on your hair or…?

[@msJimiBadu]

@@Austinflwrz when I had locs I put nothing in my hair, sometimes a little oil but that was it. And it grew super long super quick. I also “watered” my hair a lot. Treated it like a plant. Right now that I’m curly, I do put oil and a leave in conditioner after I wash. It hasn’t been long enough to see the progress but we shall see

[@beee_litt]

My hair is extremely easy to do. once I figured out a routine for my hair and proper products. I do knotless braids too I found it to be more protective of the roots that box braids and has grown my hair out a lot

[@Tatianaclicks]

Love to hear it 🫶🏾

[@kayla4667]

Oh this is confirmation for me.. 😮...I've prayed about what could be the reason for my hair plateau. And I honestly accidentally pressed on this video, and this was definitely a sign😭. I hear you God.

[@Prettypaws778]

Everyone hair is different. Some people need to wash their hair every week and deep condition and moisturize. People want to have long hair put don’t want to put the work in. Your method may work for some BUT some do need to keep to their routine

[@lauren6509]

Yep. I was scammed into being a product junkie. Corporations are the biggest evil I swear. I stick to LCO/LOC aside from gel if it's not a liquid cream or oil I don't need it. The hair masks, serums, scrubs, clays, powders, steamers $300 blow dryers (yes I bought the dinosaur rev air and 3 years later it's broken and under my bed) are not needed. I've simplified my wash routine and I no longer have hair anxiety. NGL I still have my textured synthetic wigs and enjoy braid szn but nothing beats your natural hair.

[@9Mountains9]

It’s not the corporations fault, at the end of the day we have to take more control of an industry that we endorse and sponsor for free the most & be mentally tougher when it comes to not falling for marketing strategies that are geared towards making black women feel like something is wrong with their hair or that it needs the most complicated national world attention and complicated lab created products for our hair. You never see African hair salons or black/Native American salons set up in predominantly Chinese/Asian, Indian , Latin or Caucasian neighborhoods selling them “solutions” & “products” specifically geared towards whatever their personal hair struggles may be but somehow this happens to us and only us & I’m glad it’s raising more concern amongst black women.

[@janschild]

Wow! I felt like that rev-air was a scam. An expensive scam. Smh

[@AfroTae]

alot of those stuff are a an as-needed basis. a pre poo would work if you got boxbraids and need help detangling it but you don't need it EVERY wash day, deep condition or protein treatment WHEN needed. same thing for grease and oil, its for a as needed basis is your scalp dry add a grease or oil. The biggest thing for natural hair is mosture retention you need the water and products to help you hair keep that hydration in. you don't need 10 products to get and keep your hair hydrated because after that point it does the opposite effect.

[@tarabryant2233]

The simplicity of this explanantion is brilliant and sooooo simple and it just makes sense. Internal and external needs, minimal care, and leave it alone. This is so on point and on time. Thank you for this.

[@sarebear7777]

This is so real. I used to use a bunch of products to style my hair. Now all I used is water, a moisturizer cream and oil. Wash day take around 4 hours max with styling included. My hair has been thriving when I learned to twist it and leave it alone.

[@shedocs]

I grew my hair to my waist with wigs , you can still maintain your hair under a wig or weave … for me my lifestyle as a mother of four it WORKED… but no products don’t matter , except a good detangling conditioner or u can use oils

[@9Mountains9]

Yes because honestly when I researched how human hair weaves are made and all of the women from other countries that shave their heads to earn money and how literally almost every part of the country takes advantage of every insecurity that black women in America have whether it’s their hair, skin color, skin texture, hair color, etc. & all of a sudden BOOM somehow there’s a Chinese beauty supply store near you & all of these different “exotic” textures marketed at you & certain products on the shelves in the store sometimes has me thinking like, The day we start doing our own nails and managing our own hair and growing it out & simply stop doing the MOST especially with all of these different textures from other countries, the more we will be at ease and save money and the less confused our children will feel especially our daughters. I hate how people in a country I’ve never even been to somehow know they can use their hair to make money off of us & we fall for it every time. I’ve stopped even wearing textures that aren’t similar to my actual texture because we are creating the beauty standard in America while simultaneously being shocked when we get faced with all of these anti-black experiences in life especially in the beauty industry and it’s because WE CREATED A BEAUTY STANDARD IN SOCIETY THAT DOESN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE US. 😂 Our insecurities has made so many people all over the world rich AF smh 😂& im done supporting it. I dont want anyone in another country shaving their head in basically a hair growth factory to sell to me or women waking up with their hair cut off in India & other parts of the world, its weird to me & I just dont support it anymore.

When you started with water and what we eat. Thats it right there!! Did a whole yr of mini braids (just my hair) and only got 2 inch of length vs my 5in a yr. Im focusing on water and food now with mini twist

[@mareek2007]

Do you notice a difference between mini braids and mini twists fir hair growth?I'm doing mini braids right now and want to be leaving them in for 3 to 4 weeks to retain length.If I want something fancy i wear a wig over them.

[@nurselornbsn]

I’ve gotten to the point where 1.5 hours is too much for me…. And I only do it once every 2-3 weeks. I spend about 45 min to an hour on my hair, because I rarely style my hair now. I bun it and forget it until the next wash. Maybe I’ll get back to all the extra stuff once my kids get older 😢

[@crelove9959]

This is soo well put together . There is this stereo type that “natural hair is hard to take care” an “it takes an long time to style “ but in naturality we just need to treat it an leave it alone to thrive ❤

[@Tatianaclicks]

Yes girl!! Thank you!

[@9Mountains9]

Exactly it’s only “hard to take care of” because we feel the need to do so much to our hair to subconsciously make others feel more comfortable in the workplace with us & we need to let go of that self limiting belief. There never should’ve been a time where any place of employment could get away with legally forcing any ethnic individual to either cut their love off or change their hair to be be a certain way to be able to receive a job like what used to happen in the past. It’s truly disgusting & There unfortunately still seems to be an underlying subconscious pressure to yet still continue trying to fashion ourselves and our hair in the best way to help convince others that it’s “acceptable “ enough & we need to stop. No other race of people have to deal with this issue except us and we allow it to happen and we allow other people to help support the ideation of what’s “acceptable “ for work when it comes yo black women appearance & it will end soon.

this video was hilarious, straightforward, and refreshing. Honest without being "mean". I love it! I actually just threw out 3 year old hair products back in January. They were just sitting there, doing nothing but taking up space and reminding me that I had wasted my money. I'm finally starting to wake up.

[@DarthYoungling]

It definitely is a use as you need. I have a picky scalp that if I only did what you described, my scalp would itch to the point where my hair falls out. So scalp treatments are a must. But I agree with the simplicity, my mother "gave up" and basically just wears her hair out in a fro and washes it once every other week and her unexpected results was that the short easy hairstyle she loved became complicated bc it grew so much so fast. She actually geta haircuts to keep it at a shorter length pretty often.

[@ElegantPaws01]

Low manipulation. DC and protein treatments. Twist and moisturize. Keep scalp clean. Eat properly and that does not mean fast food.

[@yourfavoriteoompaloompa139]

For me I DEFINITELY needed a pre-poo! Not everything is the same for everyone. Washing my hair with pre-poo was a day saver and GAME CHANGER. I appreciate your enthusiasm about natural hair and wanting Black Woman to embrace their hair but Black Hair treatment isn’t a one size fits all kind of thing

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

I'm glad this worked for you. My natural experience is different. My hair is low porosity 3b/3c/4a hair that I grew down to my thighs. I wore weaves for the first 10 years of my journey. The only reason I stopped is because I have too much hair to braid up that now it can't lay flat under a wig cap or sew-in. Do what works best for you. For mea, weaves were the easiest low manipulation style there was. These days I wash once a month, and wear it in a bun and sleep on a satin pillow case.

[@MeelaMeela000]

This is the realist take on growing natural black girl hair. We are the only group of people told that we gotta do hella shit to our hair to make it grow & it’s lies. Only thing I would add is that you can straighten your hair while it’s growing but I’d go to a professional instead of doing it at home because professionals know how to get your hair straight without using too much heat.

[@Wanderlustjunky]

your hair is sooooo beautiful! best explanation ive heard by far.

[@barbarawright343]

[@SDC1949]

You’re right. Keep it simple. Easy-peasy. That’s what we did in the 70’s. And our hair grew and thrived. Great video ❤

[@catsrus-es9eu]

Easy! Yes. Im so annoyed by bw claiming it's so hard. Like really 😅

[@BratzRockAngels]

Exactly, it really isn't. Years of relaxing and being told it's "unmanageable" or "hard to deal with" has lead a lot of black women in the west to do extra or unhealthy things to their hair when there's simple ways to take care of it that actually works.

[@mrod87]

I rollerset my hair so i def still have long wash days…..i rollerset but i need about a pea sized amount of leave in per section of hair (6 sections) and water and nothing else on my hair until my next wash. once my hair is done, two weeks of nothing but claw clips sometimes and bonnets at night…zero product until wash day. When i wear mini twists same thing, put in the style and it’s zero maintenance for a month. Agree with you that having hair tied up tight and covered doesn’t help it grow having to mess with it a bunch every day or cover it in product doesn’t help it grow either. The less we do to our hair between wash days the better, the healthier.

[@Z-ef1rr]

This is my exact routine!! I rarely see anyone else with this simple routine!

[@Z-ef1rr]

[@laela6289]

Some of this is true for everyone but some of it is not exactly true for everyone. I think we both have a similar hair texture ( mine can be defined as high porosity… 4b/4C) I literally don’t do anything to it but wash it with the Castile soap I use every time I take a shower and add some cream for styling …not even wrapping it before bed and I have grown about 6-7 inches of length with no breakage since my last low cut haircut last January. (Since I actually have a bit of length now, I’m actually about to start a routine, make products, buy a satin scarf etc to give it a boast). However following many other curly girls, for some women who have lower porosity and 4C hair they likely will need a little extra love. I do not think they will need to be in bathrooms for hours every day no… but most 4C’s seem to benefit from a hair stretching routine, to retain length and to keep it from tangling. Also, not everyone does well with store bought synthetic ingredient products. Some women broke their hair plateau and reduced shedding from using organic herbal DIY’s and the vast majority of of women (esp 4C) with significant length and thickness make their own hair products, and recipes. What I will agree with is that you don’t need 100 different products, in fact even if you are DIY, I’ve seen a few women recommend you follow the LCO method which is to have a liquid, cream and oil. Most black women are just gonna have to understand that in order to find a routine that works for you you need to actually be one with your hair and do a bit of trial and error . A lot of women don’t want to do that tho. 😅

Protective styles are too heavy. They mess up my edges, thin my hair, and give me TERRIBLE split ends. I grew my hair long by leaving it alone.

I'm enjoying braids here and there, but my length now is NOTHING like it was last time when i never wore protextive styles. Know your own hair ladies!

Are you saying that you wear your hair out most of the time? If so how (twist out, braid out, wash and go, afro...) ?

[@ladylove34]

@@sonoxi1756 I wear it in twists and twist outs. Sometimes I wear high puffs, braid outs, and.... I'm trying to learn wash-n-gos.

[@theREALblackfeatherfox]

Type 4's (particularly C, etc) who's hair does NOT do this when wet/weighed down - check in and let me know if it could ever really be this simple. 🥴 😩

[@IAMCHIDERA]

I’m 4c and I do mini twists instead because it’s not long enough to weigh itself down now but even 4c hair when long weighs down with water. I recommend ‘Klassically kept’ here on YT she’s not 4c but her principles work for 4c girlies

[@themelanatedempress]

Yes I’m type 4 and I’ve learned less steps/products is better. I do a leave in and mousse. I stopped gel. After I wash and deep condition it takes me 1 hr max to detangle, apply products and twist. My hair is to the middle of my back when straight. If you have low porosity hair you may not need to re-moisturize for a week but I’m high porosity so after 4 days it feels dry. I moisturize and seal with natural oil. Mid week moisturize takes me 20 min.

[@chadonbeni8637]

It can! Shampoo, conditioner/deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, cream or mousse. Twist or plait and leave it alone. Sleep with a bonnet or scarf. Repeat next week.

What styles were you doing when it was short ? Can you do a hair journey and include pics

[@Tatianaclicks]

I’ll do what I can find! I didn’t take a lot of pics tbh, I wore a braided hairstyle a handful of times but for about 90% of my hair journey I was completely natural (even when it was short) What held back my hair growth was restyling throughout the week. Once I left it alone I saw the most hair growth

[@nikaj111]

So if you don't spend any more time that week styling it, and you don't use a protective style... how do you style it during the week? My hair is always frizzy and bushy after a day or 2 (layered medium hair problems)

[@Tatianaclicks]

I perseve it at night. I usually used 4-6 braids or the scrunchie method when I go to sleep. However most of the time I add scrunchies. I fluff it a little so it’s not flat from going to sleep.

[@claressarichardson1374]

I can hear ai now getting put in my feed- “men don’t want lazy”😅😅let it be then cause spending that much money and energy fighting my curls just to sweat out a couple hours later isn’t it. I don’t want a man that bad, ai, thanks.

[@Tatianaclicks]

lol don’t listen to that!! Men don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to hair haha !

[@Holy.Housewife]

Less is 100% more with natural hair. LEAVE. IT. ALONE. Lol.

[@jahzara.d]

See the only thing I disagree with is the protective styling. Why would PROTECTION be bad? If I don’t put my hair in twists or box braids, I have to wear an afro or puff. To maintain either, I have to detangle each morning and twist it in each night. Otherwise I get a matted, terribly shrunken mess. That’s constant manipulation that puts me at risk for unnecessary breakage, not to mention hassle since I have thick 4c hair. Tight protective styles with zero maintenance are a problem. But for my girls out there who know their natural hair don’t like a constant fro, don’t let a KZbin video (with good intentions albeit) scare you out of it by them saying what works for them. We’re all different ❤

[@jahzara.d]

I have in mini twists right now (with extensions though cuz I love a lil extra length) and I just put my own little spray of water, conditioner and rosemary oil followed by some jojoba oil on just my scalp every 2 to 3 days and that’s it for moisture. I wash my hair in the twists once a week and am seeing growth. Now I promise if I had to detangle and pick out and detangle and pick out and detangle and pick out over and over again, breakage would’ve already told me about myself lol

[@laela6289]

Investigate hair stretching styles. I think she’s talking about styles that use hair extensions or sew ins

What products did you use?

[@carlamendes704]

So I tried an curling cream and gel and it flakes!!! I was wondering if you have any recommendations. Thks

how do you go about your wash days? are you a shower or a sink girlie?

[@Tatianaclicks]

I mix it up sis! I do both. I think the sink is better if you don’t know what you’re doing. But clean up is easier in the shower

How often do you use shampoo?

[@Tatianaclicks]

I use it maybe between 2-4 times a month!

[@dreamcastar]

Wait I didn’t catch if you’re shampooing first before or not

[@Tatianaclicks]

I shampoo once or twice a month, this video I did not shampoo.. I usually use texture id (yellow one)/ Tgin /Avon Kera care shampoos

[@pinkena8829]

Heavy on “it needs to be left alone”. The girls say they spend about 3-4 hours a day on their hair and I find that outrageous. It should be 3-4 hours a week. I have pretty thin 4c hair so I wear clip ins to blend. I spend about 2 hours a week on my hair. I shampoo, condition, blow dry then flat twist down. I might start adding a hair foam and styling gel after my showers soon which will only add an extra 5-10 mins.

[@Austinflwrz]

Ok I’m happy to hear about your routine. I was shamp, condition, mousse while wet. But I like blow drying. It does feel weird not putting anything else on it because it’s not long enough to do French braids or pony tail yet. When I was a kid we use pink moisture lotion. Still trying to figure if I’m missing steps. The creams and gels always leave residue and feel heavy.

[@Austinflwrz]

If you add foam or styling gel after showers, do you mean you will stop blow drying altogether? Just wondering what’s been working for ya. x

[@pinkena8829]

@@Austinflwrz instead of styling gel, I found the foam was enough. Sometimes I foam, twist 4 sections and go to bed. Once every 2-3 weeks I’ll blow dry after the shower just to check length. Maybe I’ll wear my hair stretched for a day or two then go back to styling with foam.
