I’m confused so at 2014 my hair was longer than his at the time. Now it 2017 and his hair is 2x longer than my hair now. Why? 😂 lol my hair is growing just not resting length. I have 4c Hair, who else knows the struggle? Lol

[@luckylittlelady7820]

I know your struggle. My hair is the nappy 4c type & my hair is a tight bush if I try to wear it out. My length is about 12 inches now but you can’t tell. When it is out and all I put in it is leave in conditioner, it shrinks up almost to my ears. I do a quick wash and quick blow dry with a comb attachment and it looks just fine for a week and I wear it in two cornrows that I did the second week. I use Blue Majic hair conditioner, the blue one, Kemi Oyl, Sulfur 8 original in the yellow jar, and sometimes I branch out to other products but the ones listed are tried and true to me. I also use to religiously use Wen co wash but it builds up in my hair and so now I just wash with a moisturizing shampoo and use the Web as a conditioner and leave in. I use Hair milk when I fiddle with my hair. And I use a large pick to comb my hair. Fancy is not required and my hair is beautiful.

[@luckylittlelady7820]

*I use the Wen (Fig (my fav) or the tea tree one) as a leave in.

Something that helped me when I was trying to find hair products is my sister. We went natural at the same time so she would buy one line of products and I would buy another. We would just swap back and forth. I also suggest starting with the cheap stuff. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it won't work. Cantu's products are like $6 at walmart and 4$ at some beauty supply stores...and they actually work really well on my hair almost the same as shea moisture products (15-18$ a bottle) Some Naturals even obtain moisture, definition, and length by just using oils and watered-down down conditioner ( ausie moist, dove) so start with the cheap stuff. Also if you go to the beauty supply store they have a section where you can get little packs of deep conditioning treatments for like a dollar... so you don't need to buy that $20 8 oz jar that these hair companies be trying to scam y'all with.

I personally dont recommend taking biotin if your trying to grow your hair faster especially if your a teenager like me and just started puberty because it not only grows the hair on the scalp, it also causes you to grow more body and facial hair and as a girl i think thats a big problem so my advice would be sticking to scalp massages and moisturizing.

I've watched a bunch of videos when I first started going natural about 5 years ago and BOY DO I WISH I FOUND YOU!!! I had to learn all of this on my own, after spending MONEY on various brands that just did not work! After I learned to not expect my hair to just pop out of scalp and be as long as these other KZbinrs. I'm glad I subscribed to your page because you have really good information and you let us know that even though your hair is long, it took time and all hair types are different. So basically THANK YOU FOR KEEPING IT REAL 😊😊

[@traciekneal1730]

I can actually listen to you from beginning tp end..

[@Rozegolden]

This is all so true. I love shea moisture but a lot of the products hardly do anything for me besides the Jamaican black castor oil leave in conditioner. Carol's daughter works okay but I'm not crazy about it. Surprisingly, The Viva Curl whipped coconut creme leave i conditioner by renpure has given my curls life. It really brought out the waviness and moisturized it so unbelievably and my hair didn't shrink like crazy. I was honestly shocked beyond belief.. My hair is ridiculously thick and it really moisturized it so nicely. That and a nice trim really changed the game for me. I see people who seem to have the same or similar hair texture like i have and it doesn't work for their hair. You truly do have to use whats good for you. What you put into your body really affects it too. I started brewing and drinking 3 cups of unsweetened natural green tea daily and that shit worked wonders for my skin and hair. I'm going to start incorporating more vitamins into my diet like you suggested as well. Thanks for this video!

I would spend at least $100 on products monthly and my hair was still dry and not growing but i learned my lesson. $20 and i feel like beyonce 😂

[@dii-N-sd]

[@sagieatz433]

This video is 2 years old when I'm commenting, but also leaving your hair alone helps it grow. It seems if you protective style it and don't constantly pull it, it grows. I learned this from watching men. They get it braided, and leave it alone. There are a few female KZbinrs who I see do this too and their waist length and longer. I truly believe that slicking hair back, laying edges, doing too many styles within 2 weeks to a month are damaging. And not drinking enough water since hair grows from the inside-outward.

yes water followed by moisture! my hair is low porosity, a mixture of 4a,b and c and fine. The LCO and baggie method ( for the first 2 or 3 days), plus plaits or twists for me is MAGICAL! No more crunch and my hair retains moisture, elasticity and length. It also combats the dreaded "fairy knot" situation.
