[@isi.4800]

I definitely felt this message. Someone i know was asking for hair tips so i asked what she did. She only shampooed and combs her hair dry. I told her what i did (deep condition, shampoo and style) she said it was too much and that my hair grew because of genetics and she has bad genes. I was like "why ask for tips if you'll just say that". It's very annoying because it makes it seem like you didn't have to work for what you have when in actuality you did.

[@SheReaDelSol]

Oh, I was like where is she going with this, but you right, girl you right. Genetics does play a factor, but we are the ones responsible for length retention!

[@2damecuteUK]

I’ve been natural over 10 years and my hair is just about shoulder length. stretched it is longer but compared to other naturals it’s short. I’ve given up on this idea that long natural hair is a given for everyone it’s not. I know how to take care of my hair because I’ve been researching for 8 years, I have all my health checks And I’m eating health. I genetically have natural low density hair and no magic miracle cure is gonna change that. I’ve checked all my pictures as a child to teen to adulthood. I embrace what I have and that way more important.

[@brittanywilliams8653]

For the most part, black women just started knowing how to care for our natural hair. If you look at the natural hair journeys on KZbin, you see that most originally had short damaged hair. Where were their genetics then? It's only when they started caring for their hair did it really start to grow long. I just find it funny that people will scream genetics when someone has long hair but completely gloss over how that person's hair was short and damaged at the beginning of their hair journey and only got better with patience, time, and care.

Agreed with you 100% I've been saying this for years. People immediately think I'm not black or I'm ignorant. I took cosmetology and know from personal experience that genetics play a role in hair growth but maintenance plays a major role in length retention.

[@isi.4800]

And not all length is good. The people i see that don't think they need to trim, usually have thinner ends.

[@Razorempress]

FACTS!

[@amihayashi8651]

I completely agree with you about trims. I trimmed my hair recently. I kept convincing myself I didn't need it because I wasn't using heat or anything, but I did, and I can see the difference. Everyone's hair is different. Another thing you hear all the time is about people ditching combs and exclusively finger detangling. I gave it a try for a few months. I got fairy knots, and I never had a single one in my life before that. Something's aren't for me, and that's okay.

[@DreaInspired]

I have a lot of respect for people who are so careful with their hair and I enjoy watching their routines. I am so lazy with my hair. People always ask me how my hair grows so fast. It doesn't grow faster than normal, but since I've been natural, my hair has been flourishing even though I don't fuss over it.

[@gilliech2445]

[@michellefrazier3288]

Yesss👏🏾 Genetics help determine your growth rate not the length of your hair.

[@sassys1240]

I so agree with you regarding not forgetting the work that goes into retaining length. My genetic rate of hair growth is 1/8-1/4 inch a month, but due to me massaging my scalp daily, I've broken the code and now I'm growing and retaining 1/2-1 inch a month. Yay effort !!

[@isi.4800]

It's been 2 years and my hair is at mid back length. Genetics did help not gonna lie but my routine is extremely fine tuned. I eat extremely healthy and i exercise every day. I notice that anytime i don't exercise as often, my hair growth isn't as fast. A lot of people don't trim, don't eat the essential nutrients for hair groth and just don't even know how to do their hair properly. Chalking it down to genetics downplays the actual work you had to do and honestly, gives reason to not hold oneself accountable because you could just easily say "my hair is like this because of genetics. Oh well" without having to address what you might not been doing.

[@mommymj9529]

Everytime I go without working out my hair does not grow. Of course when we workout those are the days we eat right too. I cant wait till I have this baby so I can go back to working out everyday. I loved when I would rinse out the sweat and my hair was longer and longer

[@amixeblu]

The only things that give you length are: patience, no trimming all of your growth off as hair "only" grows about 6 inches a year, and good hair care practices. Hair type does not matter in the least! I see so many people trim every month and take half an inch off, that's all the growth you grew that month!

[@evangelinemmayie6116]

My sister tell them

[@Penelope416]

How often do you reccommend trimming?

[@amixeblu]

@@Penelope416 I can't say; it really depends on the state of your hair, whether or not you use heat on it a lot or not, or are relaxed or not. I would trim a tad more then. But when I was still growing out my hair to classic (over the bum) length, I trimmed once a year, if that, and just took splits out one by one when I came across them, if I came across them. Now that I am maintaining my length I do 2 bigger trims a year and a couple smaller ones in between, but this is no longer to gain length as I'm not growing it out more. So it depends on what your goals are. Short natural hair is pretty too!

[@amixeblu]

@@stillhere8652 Oh definitely been there done that. Walked in with bra strap, and walked out with hair up to my ears (this was graduation from High School for me). Yeah!

[@amixeblu]

@@stillhere8652 that's the reason I stopped going to hairdressers years ago! Try looking up "Feye's self-trimming method" on Google. It's a great method for blunt cuts (U, V, or straight). If you want layers, you can either make a ponytail on the top of your head or on your forehead but I would not recommend this for hair shorter than waist length (wavy). If you are tightly coily I wouldn't just do this!

[@iggreen85]

I love the Tangle Teezer. I do use a knock-off though, that I get at my local Aldi or Lidl (I'm from Belgium), either store has great dupes! I have classic length (over the bum length) hair right now. I need some serious tools to detangle!!! LOL! I also use a Wet brush knock-off that I got from a store called "Action" here, for about 1.49 euro. It is awesome!

I heard nothing but great things about them for all hair textures and curl patterns. I'm trying to get my hands on them hehe You made a great point, Razor. I believe that people who chalk it all up to genetics regarding natural hair - specifically kinky/coily/curly hair - just don't care to practice better hair care and/or healthy(ier) diets.

[@kamikoils9336]

I totally agree with this love!!! I always get the opposite...people be thinking I have some magical products or techniques I use that I don’t wanna share with others, to make my hair grow as fast and as long as it does. And I always tell them for me personally it IS majority genetics. I’ve always been good at taking care of my hair, even when it was relaxed. HOWEVER, I’ve had and admittedly still have my moments where I don’t. And my hair hair still thrives, still grows. And THAT is definitely attributed to my genetics. And because I prefer HEALTHY hair over length I’ve never had a problem cutting it. I can’t stand split/see through ends and will cut 4 inches off in a minute without a second thought!

[@Fern23]

I agree. The genetic factor is like a preexisting condition. It helps you to know where your starting point is, and you have to then adopt a routine that compliments your hair. Genetic predisposition does not determine length. You have to take care of your hair to retain length.

I know exactly how you feel. I have heard this my whole life.

@Janiya Gowdy I feel sorry you if you really believe in science. An observation or study is not factual. If your hair is not growing use common sense and make life changes such as diet, exercise and proper care of your strands. Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss

[@diamondmiles2760]

. Genetics refers to approximately how much your hair will grow a month 1/4 inch 1/2 inch etc. Length retention is what will actually get the length. My best friend her, her little sister, and her moms hair grow faster than white peoples hair and they are black but literally they can not take care of their hair and It will go from shoulder length to butt length in about 6 months. Me on the other hand my hair needs to be protective styled to even see growth and will only get half the growth. But eventually I can get there I just need more work since my growth is not extremely fast. Everyone can grow hair it just may take more work and more time. This is why I love doing hair I think it’s soooo amazing .

[@passyk9968]

I love your skin!

[@chancynya]

Great video. Love your hair. My take on it is that genetics does play a part like you stated yes. Let's also get into the fact that its scientifically proven that, eg, asians have more sealed hair shafts in terms of how fixed the protein bonds are on their cuticle, due to the arrangement of the proteins on the cuticle and how tight they are packed. Also their straight her will be less manipulated because it tangles less, and black hair spirals up and detangling causes more manipulation so that's my take on genetics. Different races have genetically proven to have different protein arrangement. But like you said, taking care of your hair still wins in terms of length retention. My hair right now is the longest its ever been since I've started caring for it better, so I absolutely agree with you. I have high porosity hair so my cuticles naturally open quickly, or raise quickly which makes my hair prone to breakage. However knowing ny porosity was a game changer because it allowed me to know what would help to seal my cuticle, like butters, creams and heavy oils. After I learned this, i started retaining more hair than I ever have. Inspite of genetics being a factor, learning how to care properly for your hair is the way to go.

[@TopStarTrackStar]

Preach girl!! You have to learn what your hair likes and take care of it.

Genetics does have some significance in hair growth. My sister and I have the same parents, her hair is the most beautiful of all of us and thick, mine is fine, both our hair grew long but hers always retained length, my edges were always weak, her were always strong, when we would get braids, her hairstyles lasted, and mine frizzed up. However, as I got older, I saw what grew my hair. I HAVE to deep condition, I take vitamins, and I use rice water and I’m seeing my hair grow very fast!

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

Genetics only plays a role if all human beings were forced to take care of their hair the same way. It's like making fish, elephants, a dog and a snail compete in a swimming race and then grading then by how they swim. Instead of grading then in the environment they were all suited for. And as you realised, hair care practices are not set in stone, genetics is not the determining factor it is us adjusting our hair care practices. Now your hair is long too, the end result is the same and your genetics did not retain the long hair, you did.

Do you have any types on how to keep your thickness while growing out your hair? I noticed that my hair and ends are super thick after I get a fresh cut but ones my hair grows out, it thins right back out! BTW I looooove your hair and channel. You're one of the reasons I started youtube myself!!

[@PUNKGIRLrock24]

It might just be your hair type. If you have fine and looser strands the hair gets weigh down when gets longer and appears thinner (alot people get layers to fix it). Also making sure hair has equal amount of protein/moisture and not breaking off.

[@2damecuteUK]

Depend on you hair, do you have low medium or high density? This will be a very big factor in retention! What the thickness of your strands Fine medium or coarse? This is important for determining what tools work or don’t for your hair. Porosity does your hair retain moisture and absorb products straight away or need time to absorb? The endz of your hair is alway the thinnest weakest part of your hair strands so that why you seal the endz with oil. You could cover the ends of your hair which will keep it away from the elements. My advice is introduce more leafy greens (protein rich) into your diet Kale, spinach, broccoli (smoothie) and Almonds. You should see a difference in thickness after a month through your diet. I hope that helped

[@nicolehumble8526]

This is why some of us have shorter hair! Keep trying to fix this thinning ends problem. When actually its naturally does this smh I've done the same thing over & over again trimming & trimming. Well I'm done idc what anyone says I'll just have "horrible ends" fudge it lol

Have you been to doctor to make it's not a internal problem. You can try green/black tea rinses. Maybe do a pre-detangle with conditioner before shampoo and put hair in braids or twist so doesn't re-tangle so you don't have to do a lot of detangling/manipulation

[@daisyflower1545]

Try using more proteins it helped when I went through a similar problem. It doesn't have to be a protein treatment. A moisturizing DC or leave in with protein will do

[@2damecuteUK]

who knows 1 you should check your over all health because hair shedding is a indicator of underlying health problems. Hormones, allergy, flu, vitamin deficiency 2 make sure you have moisture protein balance in your conditioning routine and try adding an avocado to your DC to boost it. 3 your hair tools may be contributing to extra shedding (try finger detangling with a leave in), pre poo before shampoo 4 stress can cause hair shedding 5 over styling or tension

Curls& Culture so what about density and hair thickness?

[@luvfeelinpretty]

2damecuteUK what about it? In relation to genetics? Yes, that definitely is hereditary but not growing your hair out. That has nothing to do with genetics.

[@2damecuteUK]

Curls& Culture because although the hair may grow longer it won’t grow thicker, thus you would still have to cut and layer the hair more often to make it look thicker (illusion of thickness). If your hair is thin fine or low density that simply what it is genetically. I’m speaking from my own experience 10 years plus of learning about my own natural hair. Your hair is what it is the methods, tools and routine are for good consistency for up keep but won’t tell you about the things that truly affect you length retention or thinning as the hair gets longer. Density, strand thickness, porosity, protein moisture balance, ph balance,tenton , over styling, stress, hormone imbalance, vitamin deficiency, allergies These are only a few bits of information you would have to research.

[@luvfeelinpretty]

Yes, I agree with this, I too have fine hair and have been natural for 15+ years. I used to desire thicker hair and a different curl pattern. After learning my hair and understanding how to appreciate its great qualities and how to make it work with and for me. I have grown to love my hair for what it is. The key is to learn your hair, understand it and not just grow it long but keep it healthy. Learning your hair porosity and how to maintain its health, like keeping it moisturized and elastic, free from heat damage, etc. will help to grow it in the long run. Yes you may have to layer it or create ways to manipulate so that it appears thicker but that comes with the territory of learning to love your hair. There are some great things to love about fine hair.

[@2damecuteUK]

Curls& Culture yes definitely

[@MsAakifa]

I don’t think it applies to skin either because both my parents eat trash and use and skin product and never have a blemish. Meanwhile I have acne and eczema and I scar easily.

[@ilovesesshomarusama716]

Part genetics but almost everyone can grow long hair. My hair grows fast but people couldn’t tell because it kept breaking off due to being unable to afford to care for my hair properly

Wait razor. The tangle teezer actually has a bigger size which i feel you'd enjoy better. I've tried it before and it gliddddes through my hair.

[@Razorempress]

Wait wait. Bigger than the one I tried? whereee?

[@isi.4800]

I'm the only person in my family. That have the longest and healthy hair. My hair grow like weeds. It's only shorter now. Because I always cut it. When it get to a certain length. My hair longest has been bra strap length. My family don't take care of their hair and do not care haha. Just wear wigs and don't care to study hair health. They say hair take too much time.

Beautiful hair...how often do you shampoo?

[@celineosondu]

That’s like saying your body is genetics when we clearly see you working on you body in your videos you hair in the most moisturized I’ve ever seen in you tube videos so that says moisture + protein + trims = length 👍🏽
