    I’m starting to really enjoy my dry hair and it’s texture. I thought it had to be shiny and “curly” to be acceptable. But my hair didn’t go past mid back. I stopped manipulating and just let my hair be non shiny and fluffy. When I stretch my fro it’s lower back now. I wish my hair had more representation in the media 🤷🏾‍♀️...

    I feel like my growth has been stagnant for over a year and it's not because it's not growing, my hair grows really quickly. It's the fact that my ends have a huge habit of curling into knots, some that were way too hard to comb out so I always found myself cutting it off. It's literally only LAST WEEK where i dipped my ends in hot water and found that loosens the knot. Hopefully I see some progress in the future months😖

    Protective styles are really underrated. I started doing protective styles around February and for the first time in forever, I retained enough length,in 2 month I retained 3 inches,before protective styling, I'd retain just 1 inch in like 2-3 months. I also started doing finger detangling,only use wide tooth comb,once a month or whenever I feel like.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t like their hair “fresh”? I like it when it’s “dirty “ And stretched. I can do cute elongated twists or braid out. I also wash my hair once a month. And keep it in twist or braids and only let it out like three times a month. I also ALWAYS DEEP CONDITION! Oh and I drink water literally all day. ( low key obsessed with water) Since watching natural academia and seeing that she doesn’t wash often, has literally changed my regiment and hair routine.... love this channel!

The more we touch it the more it is prone to break. Trust me! Low manipulation work. I endorse every single word that leaves your lips....thank you so very much for sharing. Much love sis!

    I don't think I will ever learn how to cornrow or flat twist, and I'm too traumatized by the thought of even trying again. That being said I still have been able to take care of my hair and grow it to hip length without those particular styles. I agree it is very important to learn about your hair and know how to take care of it. If I could only do my hair once a month I most likely would do that, but my hair and scalp are not having any of that so I'm stuck doing it every 5-7 days. I always thought I wanted tailbone length hair, but because of the upkeep, I trim it quarterly to keep it at hip length. Sometimes I still think about tailbone length, but then I think about having to redo it weekly and decide against it.

    For me getting control of those single strand knot is the key to length retention. Moisture is very is extremely import for my hair type which is mostly 4a and coily. Which is a major challenge because I live in a very dry climate that rarely ever rains. It took a lot of trial and error but I am finally figuring it out.

    I have the tendency to be touching my hair too much and it's not growing like it's supposed to and I found out that, doing that causes single strand knots, so I'm planning on putting it in a corn roll next time I braid so I don't have to touch it so much Fingers crossed ☺️

    I would say no. In my experience, chlorine tends to dry out natural hair, which causes unnecessary breakage. I’d suggest either rinsing the chlorine out of your hair and remoisturizing it in the braids orrrrrr, unbraiding your hair completely and washing it.

    Most all natural hair videos state leave your hair alone. Since hair sheds over a hundreds strands a day, why can't I comb them out everyday without feeling me touching my hair is causing it to break or not retain length or too much manipulation? Can anyone answer this question for me. Too me at Provence tangle if I comb out the strands everyday or every two to three days. Thx.

  • @Ingrid-jx7iz

    Generally most people don’t touch their hair everyday because it’s too much manipulation. Our strands (esp type 4) are very fragile and love to tangle against themselves. The shed hair will get caught in the roots or in other strands naturally. Combing it out daily will just cause too much friction as Combs can detangle the hair but they can also snag and rip out the hair if your not gentle enough and your ends get weaker and thinner the more you touch it. If you keep your hair tucked away/stretched throughout the week, that is the best way to keep hair tangle free and ready to detangle come wash day.

    A MASSAGE FROM GOD O man, Who have formed you, who designed and created you? Is it not God. Who's image and likeness do you stand? Is it not God's. Whom do you owe your breath, your strength, your wisdom, and your life. It is God. Your life and soul belongs to him. He has power to take and to give life. But he has given you life that you may have the chance to repent and know him. Why then should we run after the things of this world, after Sin and vain pleasures of this world, instead of our creator. When you should have been cast into damnation by the evil of man's heart, who came to stand for you, who became the hope of man, when we couldn't even show a gleam of light. Who came to saved your soul, when sin has stolen it. It was Jesus. He came to offer himself on earth that you might be saved. We where hopeless and vile, disposable with sin and corruption, but God didn't give up on us. Why then should we trade him for anything. Surrender all to Jesus, nothing in this life is worth it. You're not ur own, you belong to Jesus, do not reject him on earth. Do not allow any sin to pull you away from him. Give your life to him today, repent and surrender all, believe and follow him. In him is the key to Eternal life. To reject your creator and savior is to reject life and accept hell. Without Jesus in ur life, your life of earth is meaningless. He is the only way, the truth and the life.
