How long have you been natural? If you've never been relaxed, my question is when did you start your healthy natural hair journey?

[@NoMoreLyes2012]

@@pw1592 I've been natural for almost 11 years. I had a relaxer up until 2010 and I went natural in 2011. You start your healthy hair journey whenever you're ready to make a change and see results in your hair. If you're not ready for those changes, then don't start your healthy hair journey.

Haven’t measured my hair with a tape measurer yet. But, the back of my hair (nape to ears) is waist length, sides of my hair are below bra length & the front of my hair (which is shorter than the rest of my hair) is armpit length!!! My growth was Exponential. This challenge was awesome! Can’t wait for the next one! God bless everyone that made it through the challenge. I was keeping all of you in my prayers & WE DID IT! Whoop whoop 🥳 🎉 🎊

Just measured my hair and I was able to retain. 2 1/2 -3” in length during the 6 months protective style challenge. I will be making these practices a staple towards reaching my hair goals. Thanks Chassidy for creating this challenge to help naturals like myself learn how to properly care for our hair💕

Joining your challenge. I watched your video and I recently trimmed my ends . I have short pieces at my nape otherwise average 13-15inches after 3.5 years. My aim is to retain 4 inches for this year. My ultimate aim is MBL 20 inches ...I'm tall

[@maym7809]

I started the challenge a month after it began. I didn't protective style as much as I should have, but I got about 3 inches of growth and retention. I'm past waist length now, but not quite at hip length. I need about half an inch of hair to be comfortably at hip length.

[@gootsycollins3046]

How do we determine if we have hard water or not?

[@arewahaircaretv8718]

@@gootsycollins3046 usually I notice it by how much detergent I need to use to get the water to foam.

[@cutenobi]

@@gootsycollins3046 For me, I just knew I had hard water because of the area that I live in. Also, if you see white film left on and around faucets and dirty rings inside of the toilet. Hard water deposits are difficult to get rid of unless the water is softened. My hair was always dry and I had frequent breakage. Now that I live in a house, I now have a water softener system. And now my hair is flourishing.

[@Ifeoma_Gift]

Hi. Thanks for this vid. I recently discovered your channel and I admire the truths you spill about caring for our natural hair. My problem has always been retaining length. My hair's been shoulder length since 2 years ago and I'm almost 5 years natural (post bc). I plan to commence this 6 months mini twist challenge to leave my hair alone with your videos as a guide. I've also heard of trimming and moisturizing in-between as hair grows factors. Last month, I got my first trim ever since my big chop. I guess that's a good place to start. I'll start the 6 month challenge for the first time in August by God's grace.
