Seun, a woman moving her hands and touching her hair is a sign of femininity in just about every country on earth. Some folks, yes black folks, are uncomfortable seeing a Black woman express her femininity by playing with her hair. Thus you see the myriad of baseless complaints here. These folks want you to portray a "strong" black woman instead of the gorgeous, young lady you are who is having fun and enjoying her hair. They've said everything from it's against the Bible to worship your hair to it being you manipulating your hair and a bunch of other nonsense. You know that most of that is jealousy right? Flip your hair, swing it, shake it, touch it. You grew it and it belongs to you,dear. They dont get mad at Becky for touching her hair every 5 seconds, but it is weird to them to see a Black woman proud of her hair. Don't change who you are for others. You're wonderful just the way you are!

Jon C She doesn't have genetically long hair. Black People seriously need to stop using this cop-out. If she did, she'd have to be getting a relaxer done every 2- 3 weeks. Have you ever met anyone whose hair grows so fast they have to get touchups every 3 weeks?? Human hair (white, asian AND african) grows at the same rate for the most part, with very little individual genetic variation. She does a better job at _retaining_ the length she grows - which is the same length *you* grow; which is the same length *I* grow- and that comes from knowledge and care NOT genetics.

I always thought my hair grew slowly and wouldn’t get past a certain length, until I realized that it was more a matter of me having to cut my new growth almost as quickly as it grew. I’ve spent the past year and a half trying to figure out how to stop my hair from thinning on the ends or at least slow it down. The changes I’ve made include: moisturizing daily or every other day, stretching my relaxer (went from every 6 weeks to every 10-12), wearing my hair in a bun daily as a protective style, and most importantly, cutting way back on daily manipulation. I feel like that last one is what has truly made the difference for me. I stopped using combs and brushes, and now I just gently finger comb when I moisturize or style it. Oh and I sleep on a satin or silk pillow case, so I don’t have to wrap it anymore (too much manipulation required). I think by the end of this year, I should finally be close to my goal length (bra strap).

She is just expressive and excited about presenting her knowledge. The people complaining probably can’t grow their hair for the fact,that they always focused on things have nothing to do with retaining hair, let alone length. Lol,ironically these same critics go and waste time standing in line, consuming gas to spend tons of money on hair extensions coming from people sacrificing their hair to gods and they complain about the price. If they complained more than they educated themselves about growing hair, this young lady wouldn’t have so many Korean clients as critics.

I can only speak for myself, I had to cut because it was in a weakened state. As soon as I would stretch the relaxer, it would break too easily and lead to shorter hair. Very frustrating if you put in all this work to grow it. I also like color and maintaining both relaxed and colored hair is very challenging. Had to transition and braid it up. Leave it alone and less heat..leads to more length and stronger hair in my opinion.

There are many factors that stunts hair growth. Not eating properly, prescribed medications, illnesses and diseases, stress and your genetics. So it doesn't matter what you put on your hair if your inner health is down it does affects your hair growth and texture too. Eating your fruits and vegetables, oily fish, grass fed meats, drinking water, daily exercise, getting lots of rest, cutting down stress last but not least covering your hair before going to bed and using natural oils that agrees with your hair greatly helps.

it does matter what you put on your hair. I have epilepsy and have to take a lot of medication, I have for years. it helps to eat healthy but you also need to KNOW your hair and treat it from the outside as well. balancing protein and moisture is also very important. I have managed to grow my hair to my tailbone by paying attention to both, but if I'm being honest when I changed what I did on the outside I saw results quicker. this is also just speaking from my experience. I am also relaxed.

Seun, I had followed one of your crocheting tutorials when I had shoulder length hair and was very happy with my diy results. Since then I have done some pretty extreem things to my hair over the years. Once the damage was done I broke down and got the "big chop". My hair is now long enough for protective styles so I went with box braids by African braiding hands. Needless to say, the first 2 nights I had to sleep on my face because my hair was so tight and everything(even turning my head) hurt so bad. And YAAAS! So far my edges are the first to go and I have not had these braids in for a whole week yet. Had I known then what I know now. I have found you video's to be SUPER informative and educational. This time around I have subscribed and liked/loved. This is only the begining for my hair. I surely don't want it to be end because of these braids. From now on I plan to use the information you have provided to guide me on how to treat my hair as I continue on my journey to growth. Thank you so so much for keeping it real, and for putting in the work to make these videos for us women who take growing and caring for our hair very serious. ❤Much Love and Respect🙏

In my opinion, natural hair is so hard to maintain. I've done both in my life. When my hair was relaxed, it was always, short, dry, damaged, thin and brittle. When My hair was natural, it grew so fast and was so long. I had little to no breakage. It was thick and healthy and I loved it, but for me, personalty it was just too difficult for me to maintain. I'm thinking about cutting mine too, I accidentally used a stronger relaxer on my hair and a lot of it came out leaving my crown very short and the rest of hair different lengths; (some long, some shorter. ) I'm still debating exactly what I want to do. I wish there was some sort of happy medium. Years ago all I wore was weave, because I didn't have to do much to it. Just mainly get up and go, but I've been exploring other options. My hair is naturally dry so that is one of the biggest problems for me. I know I am supposed to oil moisturize and condition daily, but even that sometimes begins to be a bit too much.

Sherry Ann Todd you're right that waiting too long between relaxers isn't good for the health of your hair, but there are too many variables to state 8 weeks as a hard and fast rule. How often you relax depends on how quickly your hair grows (some people have more new growth than others at 8 weeks), how thick it is (thicker hair can be more forgiving of longer stretch times, because it tends to be stronger), how well you condition/moisturize (the healthier your hair, the more likely you can stretch it past the 8 weeks), how long you leave relaxer in when you do relax, what #type of hair you have (I have 4c but it's wavy, not super tight-- it doesn't draw up as much as some 4c hair. If my hair were tighter I'd have even more difference between my relaxed and unrelaxed hair making the meeting point even weaker)... I sometimes relax at 8 weeks. I have stretched to 12/13 weeks without noticeable damage. 10 weeks is probably my "sweet spot".

What is the sense of growing your hair if you can't wear it out? I want to grow my hair but putting it up all the time isn't worth it to me. I prefer to wear my hair more often than wearing a protective style. She has this beautiful head of hair but only wears it out one week of every 4 months?

Denesha Record I wear my hair out all the time. You just can't be scared to oil it up and moisturize it. Protection can come from sealing in moisture like a crazy woman. Your ends just need to retain moisture. Protective styles are a option if you don't want to oil your hair down daily. It's pros and cons to both ways.

I agree. I am sure she is happy with her method, but to me, it is not worth it. All that work only to wear it out a fraction of the time. But people like knowing they have long hair, without seeing it. For me, seeing is believing.. lol! I'd rather have mid length hair that I can enjoy. That is just me.

I think it's just up to the individual. I have long hair (just below armpit length) but it's also really thick. I like the length for how it looks when it's curly. Wearing it straight every once and a while keeps it an exciting and interesting style. That's probably why she's touching it so much. I only straighten my hair like 2-3x a year. And by the time I do it I've forgotten what my hair looks or feels like straight so it's a brand new experience hahaha

I just got my first Sew in "professionally"for the first time in March... I couldnt WAIT to take it out! I used RAW hair had a closure as well. I also used a net. My braids were FAR from tight. I got a deep conditioning and trim before the braids were done & washed my sew-in every 2 weeks. I HATED my first weave experience. Why? I took my sew-in out after 1 month and a week. I tried to wait the full 2 months but just couldnt. It itched and I had so much shedding and breakage and swollen sores in my scalp after the takedown. I have coarse kinky thick healthy hair and to see the thin limp breakage was horrid. So now, im nursing it back to health with Castor oil and Amla oil & crochet braids(luv these). I believe the breakage & sores came from scratching the net onto my scalp. I almost forbid sew-ins after that experience but... Im ginna try again cause I did have some growth. Next time... im doing it myself and NO NET!

Yes our hair is like a flower garden. Patience is key. Great Video.

The first year of my hair journey I was over manipulating my hair so when I did my length check it barely even grew I was so my annoyed I hid my hair in braids for a year and treated my hair when removing the style I'm still on my second year of my hair journey and my hair grew sooo much best decision ever stop touching my hair often

Thats why my momma always told me dont let nobody play or touch your hair...🤷

You make a lot of sense, you are brilliant.😊

I swear you make a lot of sense THANK YOU SO MUCH🤔

I disagree protective styles do not grow your hair, it helps you retain length. Additionally not everyone can wear protective styles and have success with length retention. After a while some people's hair will start to thin out and break.

Yes, at the beginning of this video I tried to make it clear that the problem that we're trying to solve isn't that our hair isn't growing, but that our hair isn't retaining length. Protective styles work wonders for me, but I understand that everyone is different(: Show less

you have a point. your hair grows either way it is morw about retaining length. also folks dont get as much out of a protective style because they dont wash, condition or moisturizing their hair while it is in protective styles.

Hy guys your video rocks people have a problem what's wrong with her using her hands so much there is noting wrong just because you don't have long thick hair to touch stop being jealous

My hair was longer than yours and i shaved it off. I had shoulder surgery and was awaiting neck surgery. So I physically couldn’t care for it and it was getting tangled. At the time I was natural. Now I’m relaxed. But my point is.....our hair will grow back!!! So if you feel like cutting just go for it. You know what to do to keep it healthy and strong and when you want it long again you know how to care for your hair. Best of luck. I enjoyed your video.

Its your hair....its 2017....do what the hell you want with it.....common sense...if your hair is a different texture then take care of it with that texture......some people may not actually can grow their hair long....it actually maybe genetics.......who knows...just research....put in your own work and just Be you.....

denise mitchell - Exactly. I think black people (I'm black) are being brainwashed into thinking that they have to do what every other black person does. We're all individuals so the natural hair movement should shut up and go and watch natural hair movement videos instead of relaxed hair videos. Black people should empower and encourage each other to be individuals, just like every other race does!!!

I’m a black woman with natural hair but I watch her videos because she has some very good tips on hair protection.....and you’re right there is nothing wrong with black women straightening their hair. However I would advice to be mindful of the brand being used because some of their formulas can lead to health issues such as fibroids. But being cautious of the products also goes for the natural girls because many of these companies use harmful chemicals in their formulas.

I saw that you said natural products haven't worked for you. I use 5 large carrots shredded into a pan, 1 over ripe or soft large avocado smashed into the carrots and add 2 1/2 C of extra virgin olive oil. Cook on simmer for 20mins without a lid.. Strain ONLY the liquid. My hair is SUPER dry but not anymore.. It also made my hair grow and finally keeping its length. I do my own box braids. I also use rice water to wash my hair. I put Vicks on my edges to grow, learned from my dermatologist, it WORKS!!

Great Tips , New Subbiee 💕 and lord knows that it's hard to find good advice and tips for us " relaxed hair " girls I really hope you stay relaxed and have a successful hair journey

Girl its so cute to see u touch ur gorgeous hair. I can tell u love it. And its a sign of you finding yourself desirable, pretty and feminine that you do that. And indeed you are those things... I love it. All women should feel that way about themselves, not just white women. And if you have ever watched the ever sexy, ever beautiful, Ms Diana Ross, she flipped her hair back, and played with it ALOT and she always had men mesmerized by her beauty and feminine charms. Including the one and Only Michael Jackson who was so in love with her he could not see straight. And called her the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen!!! So all I can say is do your thing girl!! And PLEASE don't cut it! Its gorgeous!!
