I typically leave my sewing up for 6 months just because I don’t have the time to actually do anything with my hair. And it has helped my hair grow longer and stronger. You did such a wonderful job on your hair ..cousin got them growing hair hands..Keep up the amazing work. I know life gets busy and sometimes we can be a mess but when we want to snap back into our baddie mode we snaps back into it 😍

Yes at first I was a little alarmed but I was like wait, our hair sheds every single day! And it’s been trapped there for 7 months 😂

just a note, the neutralizing shampoo stops the relaxer from processing. even if you rinse out the relaxer it still can process in your hair. next time i suggest neutralizing first then using olaplex. you did an amazing job trimming your hair. it looks so full and has a lot of body!

Turned out super cute❤ I would jus recommend coating ur relaxed ends with Vaseline and not smoothing the relaxer so far down to the previously relaxed hair. Over time this causes thinning and breakage.

It’s giving leave my hair alone in order for it to grow

I was always taught , you don’t add heat immediately after a perm . It’s because the hair is weaker after a chemical treatment I believe . I was always taught , you don’t take your hair down and perm immediately .

Getting a trim is honestly my favorite part it makes such a difference 💁🏾‍♀️

Hello from South Africa ❤ I loooooove, love, love long term protective styling. It grew my hair so much this past year. And it is soooo satisfying to watch these take downs, they literally make my day and reassure me that I'm on the right path to growing my hair.

Ive been natural for 14 years over the years realized my hair needs water & oil . My hair has flourished so much, hydration is key. My spray bottle & argan oil 🤍☀️ Leave in conditioners help as well

Finally I’ve found some with the same 4c hair texture like mine her hair is fine just like mine

I'm loving your hair sis great hair growth...you really slayed this style...period!!!!!❤❤❤❤

I just wanted to say that you have beautiful hair! I also wanted to share a quick tip with you. When you apply a relaxer to your hair, try to only apply it to your new growth. Applying it to your old hair can lead to overprocessing, which weakens the hair and can cause unnecessary breakage in the long run. I am a licensed stylist and I was happy to see you opt out of the protein treatment on the same day as the relaxer. Great choice!

Girl I leave my braids in for a long time too. I shampoo my braids during the time they in there though so my dandruff buildup isn't as massive at the end. I also like to oil my scalp the day before I take my braids down because I'm all natural and my hair be thirstyyy for some moisture lol. Loved to see the video sis!!!

You did a excellent job ‼️‼️ btw my hair also grows very long leaving my braids in under wigs for months I keep them moisturized and that's does it for me‼️

Remember, it's normal for all that hair to come out. Hair shed thousands of strands daily. So if you're not combing and leaving it alone, all that dead hair is going to build up and a lot is foing to come out. But its okay.

💁🏾‍♀️ and I hv locs idk why I'm here but I'm living for it

You’re so beautiful💕

Neutralize 1st. Then Olaplex. Neutralizer washes all the perm product out. Your hair is still processing until you neutralize.

You should wash your hair!! I do braids for 2 months, take down, pre poo, walk conditioner through my hair, shampoo with a moisturizing, clarifying shampoo. Deep conditioner(30 minutes), rinse out conditioner to detangle my hair, put on 4 parts, put in leave in conditioner, heat protector. Then braid my hair.

@@exoticbeautyy a lot of people do this. They texlax the hair to make it more manageable but they don't want to be fully relaxed. She left some texture because it's usually in cornrows under a protective style/wig/sew in, etc for a few months. She straightened it with the heat to be able to trim it. It also helps to blend it in with the clip in extensions and to be able to wear it for a week or two to give her hair a break from her usual.

This how I'm growing my hair ❤❤

Super cute! Now can we get a makeup tutorial for the makeshift in the video please

Not healthy for hair to keep protective style so long. Combing hair when wet tears it out especially if perm. If I did that I wouldn’t have any so I think your hair is strong, but could have so much more if you didn’t. You did an awesome job doing that hair.

I’m all for low manipulation but this is counter productive. Taking your hair down every two weeks or at least every month to detangle, remove shed hair, wash and deep condition would have saved you so much length. Your ends would not have looked like that. I really want African girls to learn how to take care of your hair. Treating it like a curse to be avoided ain’t it
