Yes, this is what I try to really stress with my videos! Length retention is really the thing that makes the difference! slowly but steadily.

This is how we wore our braids back in the 90's. For MONTHS. It takes 12 years to put the style in so you best believe we are leaving it in for months. This 2 week mess is crap, esp with all the time and money. UH uh.

@@marlak4203 Right! When your butt "falls asleep" and you can't sit still anymore...the memories of growing up black! People have gotten creative. I've seen videos where girls "refresh" their braids and they look brand new.

The last set of braids, I had them in for 2 months back in June and July and when I took them down I was detailing for almost 3 hours 😭 the growth thooo, it was epic

I blinked and your hair grew like crazy. It looks so good!

Wow this video is so well structured and detailed, il be sure to follow when I regrow my hair ❤

what you said about oils causing itchy scalps!!! Since I realized this happens to me, I stopped applying oils to anywhere but the perimeter of my hair. Not one itch, not one.

Same here, my hair was itchy and flaking like crazy. All these years, I’ve been basically smothering my scalp. Now I only lightly oil my scalp after wash day. I haven’t had any more problems or flaking.

I would LOVE a daily natural hair care regimen vlog? moisturizer, wash days (how often), methods, products, etc. I’m so grateful I stumbled upon this, the last video I saw of yours is the one about over moisturizing then it breaking. your crown is incredible just like you NO MATTER WHAT!!

@SeunOkimi

2 жыл бұрын

that's awsome!

Protective styles are the best. My hair definitely grew fast and healthy just from keeping cornrows and moisturizing my hair every 2 days

God bless you Seun darling! Like you don't understand. As a woman that previously used to relax my hair and then also transitioned to natural, I personally choose to not do the big chop which granted now that I have been natural for a good couple years, I can see that, that probably was a mistake. However, I am not mad because personally I still would have made the same mistakes and probably more, given my urge to want to grow my hair long as fast as possible, had I went through with the big chop route. Through my natural hair journey I have learnt a lot and I cannot help but thank you so much Seun for taking us on your journey and teaching us about your findings from scientific studies (e.g. such as hygral fatigue). PS: Congratulations to you Seun for graduating! I hope to join you too in a couple years! Anyways, I think I have rambled on quite long enough now. Basically girl, before you I was watching natural hair videos from other people within the KZread community and there was just such an emphasis on the fact that your hair is moisturised if the curls are juicy bouncy and wet, you know with the LOC or LCO method. Thanks to you releasing your video on hygral fatigue and also me experiencing my hair literally melting in my hands due to hygral fatigue, I realised that there is a *very BIG BAD misconception within the natural hair community* of what moisturised hair is and if you watch this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJiF0M6Kgs-zYto.html as well as Seun's pervious video on what hygral fatigue that is here kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4x6x5OPgKq8hKg.html, you will see that your hair is actually moisturised when it is dry and it is dry when it has excessive amounts of water in it. Long story short after watching you take down this 3 month protective hairstyle, I then took out my 5 month old protective hairstyle (cornrows) 2 days ago (I absolutely do not recommend keeping your protective style in for that long, your girl was going through some things so ya know, I kind of forgot I have hair, 4c hair to be exact. It took me a whole 5hrs to finger detangle my hair! That's the pre-poo before the wash!) using predominantly coconut oil (for the added slip) and then leave in conditioner that I have which is African Pride Shea Miracle Leave-in conditioner. For my hair, I have learnt the hard way that it doesn't like to be damp or soaked in water too long, hence why I'd lather the hair up with coconut oil first and apply leave in only if my hair was just borderline crusty dry, to help soften it up so it's easier to detangle and also prolong/ prevent the chance of me ever having to experience hygral fatigue again. Prior to the method I stated above, I would have detangled/ pre-pooed my hair by wetting it first (or making it slightly damp), applying oil and conditioner to help detangle it. However, I vividly remember how weak my hair was after doing this. My hair literally felt like spaghetti and was breaking like crazy, because as I said prior my hair DOES NOT like water. This experience taught me that my hair absolutely doesn't like water, and detangling/ pre-pooing my hair this way gave me hygral fatigue. This comment is long, but if you have gotten to the end of this, I hope that my experience and what I have learnt helps you along your natural hair journey! Best wishes, Lucy 😊🤗❤️

I have missed you and your gorgeous mane, Your hair is growing well after your big chop....Well done😍

yooooo sis hair grew hella, so proud !!

it's the expression on your face for me.😍. Can't wait to have full hair.

Okay seun is drop dead gorgeous without trying

Your hair grows so fast!

When she said she took out the braids at the front because they were weighing down her edges just hit me hard. 😭😭 I strictly told my hair dresser to not braid my edges at the front and she still do it. 😡😒 Now i have to start all over growing my edges back from scratch after so much length loss.

I love watching your videos. I typically spray my hair very lightly with water and use an oil or conditioner for my take downs then follow up with a hot oil treatment before shampooing

Your hair and skin is beautiful! 😍

Your 💇 is growing out so Beautifully!

OMGGGGGG your hair grows sooo fast

I love that you mentioned that box braids are not always the best way to obtain length retention on fine natural hair. I love the look as well, but many times my hair ends up getting more damaged than anything due to all of the manipulation.

See you in the next one🌹

I’ve got a big forehead 😭 I’ve been bullied for it so I always try to cover it, (which resulted in damaged hair) however now I’m in my second year of college, even though I’m still self conscious I’ve started to do braids and twists ever since I finished high school!

I do the exact same thing with my edges when doing braids. No added hair, no added tension.

detangling my hair is the worst. I'll try this your method, I normally only finger detangle then comb after I'm done with all the braids. but that method makes me tired and lazy. waiting to see a video of your first trim

SIMBA!!!! Beautiful thick hair.

I take my edges out early too when i get small knotless after like a month. Finding the knotless size that works for you is def a process. My hairline likes medium knotless, this style looked great on u.

The tensile fatigue thing may also be a negative cycle if you touch your hair too much you will see hairs that are falling out due to you touching it and you freak out and touch it even more!

I need to take a whole week write everything you’re saying down and start doing it! I am sooooo done with not retaining length! Also i think oils make my scalp itchy because i use the Miss Antilles lotion it works well but ughhhh my scalp will itch so bad afterwards !

Nice growth there. Whe are at the same length so I will follow your method..why? Because I have similar hair, Low porosity and thin strands. But it grows out big like your hair. So hopefully we can retain length. That's always been a problem for me. I also much much older than you 56 years old and have been natural for over ten years.
