My hair won't grow past my shoulders because I'm addicted to my braids. My hair hates them and I don't take care of my hair while in braids

[@cierarankin6332]

My hair care goal is for my hair in curly state to hit shoulders and be consistently moisturized.

Thicker hair and length retention are my hair goals

[@Majesta_DaughterofZion]

My biggest setback for length retention was not cutting off my dead ends.

[@CurlyChemistry]

Facts! I had to learn that too!

[@ceystal]

My goal is to limit my haircare spending. I spend so much on trying new hair products because it's a hobby but man it's expensive. So definitely limit my spending to only when I run out of a product do I get to try something new and maybe actually use up what's in my stash.

[@charlenepainter6178]

Stronger hair, especially the ends. Wearing it up more I think is key.

Yup. Baby oil her wear her up or back. Only comb once a day, bonnet at night. During winter tuck ends under a hat if you wanna be extra cover your hair with a soft scarf under your hat. Your hair will fall in love with you & grow for you - Watch❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Alxie_e]

What did u do to grow it past ur shoulders? What’s ur routine

[@christinaward174]

I made it to waist length in 2022 and cut about 4.5 in off last year. Now I'm just wanting full, healthy hair. The length doesn't matter for me as much anymore. So I'm trimming about every 8 weeks.

[@Spokentruths725]

Congrats on that! This is my overall goals and yes i want to keep up with trims to avoid a drastic cut. Hope you reach your goal by the end of this year!

[@TheMarvelousBeautyChannel1]

Loved wearing my hair down but learned a long time ago that having it rub against everything wasn't good. Plus, I constantly touch my hair. I am low key no high key obsessed with they feeling of my hair. I always have been since I was a child. Touching my hair is a calming mechanism for me also.

since i was on chemo last winter, thus lost all my hair, my goal is to grow it back as fast as i possibly can. i've been at it since my last chemo treatment in march last year, and i'd say it's working really well. aside from growing my hair back, i also want it to be healthy, looking and feeling good. i've no idea how long it'll be at the end of 2024, but it certainly will be longer than it is now. 💞💕💖

I come from a lineage of short hair women 🤷 with male pattern balding in the males, but, My hair is thin in my crown, so, how do I break the cycle? 🤔 This is why I follow your KZbin channel & my hair has flourished since following you, 💝 thanks Tonya!

[@CurlyChemistry]

You’re welcome! Your anagen cycle may be shorter, or it could be a length retention issue (dryness/breakage). A thinning crown could be from pulling/tight styles or hormonal.

[@patriciaharrison4258]

My goal is healthy hair - overcoming dryness. Thank you for the tips! You break it down so anyone can understand. Much appreciated!

[@dddg6327]

I hit waist length, had health issues and it shed so much and I had to keep trimming till I got to mid back. I’m much better now so in December, took it to shoulder length and it’s so much fuller and I think Iv done 1” already with proper moisture and protein spacing. I’m focused on general health of hair and body. Best wishes. 🙏🏽

[@bagsandlifestyle]

Shoulder friction is a no no lol. Thank you for sharing. I would like my hair in its curly state to reach my shoulders.

[@vanessaclark3443]

One lesson I've learned is that it's better to have short, healthy hair than long, damaged hair. I held onto dead ends for so long, thinking that it was giving me length, that I had to chop off so much of it to get my hair back in shape again. Now two weeks later and I see the difference: no tangles during detangling, wayy less shedding, no breakage, and just overall happier hair. So now I'll be trimming every 8 weeks, mid-week, don't be afraid to "dust" if your hair needs it. If putting a comb through my hair isn't smooth like butter, then get the scissors and snip no matter what. It's hair, it will grow back. Don't hold onto dead ends for length's sake when all it does in the long run is leave your hair at the same length and set you back by you having to cut off so much anyway.

[@MyNaturalMyChoice]

Hello. I love watching all your videos! so helpful and i have definitely learned a lot from you. My goal for 2024 is to retain more length. I have accomplished my hair goal of regrowing my hair in the crown area and maintaining a healthy head of hair for several years now. 2023 I feared reoccurrence hair loss. Daily checking my scalp, manipulating my hair, caused me not to retain much length at all! I appreciate your advice and tips on how to get passed shoulder length hair.

[@brwnhilarybanks9953]

My hair goal is to get consistent with trims now that i know trimming every 5-6 months i why i need to hack off 2 inches every visit! My hair is growing i just always end having to take it off. Yesterday i got a trim and that is what we discussed she said i should be trimming every 2 months so i will start doing that now so my next trim will be in april! I kinda want to see if i can get slightly thicker hair like i used to before relaxer so i will try again to do ayurvedic glosses. My hair is about at shoulder length but my goal for end of the year is hopefully armpit length dry and in curly state! And my last most important goal is... continuing to tackle this seb derm. I have made progress a lot the patches by the side of my ears are gone BUT i still itch and flake on my scalp next to my ears so i need to figure that out since medicated shampoos do not work for me. Maybe losing weight will help which i plan to do.

[@celeste37083]

Always the truth. Love you!

Hey! It could be your hormones or a nutritional deficiency.

Took me awhile to actually find what my goal was I know I want healthy hair but I’ve also been growing it out and wanted to think of some stopping point Which I’ve decided will after three years and I’ll get some curly cut in a shape I like and stick with that until I want something else “8 months in right now so still a long way to go lol”

[@kriseme4734]

I need to know more about caring for high porosity hair I put under a wig. I care for it using your tips, but it won't retain length!!?? I wash, deep condition weekly and use leave-in conditioner and grease on ends or oil on the ends after I two strand twist. I spritz it with water, aloe vera, and/ or green tea or black tea every 3-4 days. I can't get it to get past my chin on the front part of my hair!!??? 😢😮 When I wear my wig, I rub a leave in on my hair or oil and use wig cap to protect it and Never sleep in my wigs - they come off when I come home and often I spritz my hair and scalp with water from my drinking filter and leave it alone and then wrap it every night with a satin scarf. I dust my ends as needed with proper shears. What am I missing?

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey! If you're doing all the things, it could be hormonal or a nutritional deficiency. Also check to see if your hair is breaking, if so change the liquid moisturizer to a cream based moisturizer.

[@kriseme4734]

Thank you, I'll try it. Do you recommend any cream leave-in conditioners for high porosity hair?

[@emeth1455]

My goal is to get fuller, more density hair. My hair had become so thinned out in the crown area. It is finally growing back in thicker, and I plan to keep the fuller density.

[@catalinahunter1134]

I agree with the video but u can do everything to your hair but don’t take care of the inside of body as well like drinking water more fish. Vegetables it really starts from within I worked at a beauty store you be surprised of how many people say that they don’t drink enough water

I'm currently struggling between diving deep into repairing and taking care of my fragile, breaking relaxed hair or transition to natural. I transitioned in 2022 but gave in and relaxed again after a year in 2023.

[@NamasteInYourLane]

My hair has grown past my shoulder length and I've maintained it. I'm trying to get to bra strap length. The main thing is taking your time detangling. Rubbing oil on your fingers to take down an old style and using a water based moisturizer to detangle. I love using "As I Am" cowash to detangle before a wash.

Typically once you get past shoulder length, it's a lot easier because your ends are no longer rubbing against your shoulders; so you experience less breakage.

Can you moisturize already styled hair?

[@01cherrelle]

My question is what if the hair in the back is longer than your hair in the front, how can someone grow the hair even.

[@sable7114]

Remember that textured hair grows outward and almost upward to the sky. If you pull your hair straight out, as though you are forming an afro you will find that it is even. If your hair is 6 in in length over your entire scalp, when it lays down flat then it's not going to be even so in other words the 6 in of hair at your forehead is not going to be longer than the 6 inches of hair at your nape. So if you want it all even you would have to let it grow quite a bit and then cut it straight across your back all one length but in actuality if you measure the hair at your forehead and then at your nape is still not going to be all the same length. I know I'm not making any sense😑

You've followed all the advice?? So in this case, if it's not external, it's internal. It could be that you have a short anagen phase, it could also be hormonal, or you could have a nutritional deficiency.
