[calledforhiswill]

tooo funny she sid DO YOU SEE THAT!? with the biggest smile ! you Go gIRL!

[bubbles28310]

my hair is that length, and i was wondering how do you get it so bouncy & fluffy?

my hair gets like that when i get a good trimming and good flat iron but are there any certain products you should stay away from?

[KinshasaOK]

why do black chics want long hair? whats the point?

[majorette12]

@KinshasaOK its not that we want long hair its that we so used to not takin care of it we so quick to throw weave glue on it and that damages it but its not about having long hair.,its mainly about having healthy hair.!your hair can be short and healthier than a girl with long hair.but thats juss my opinion.!

[OnADiet666]

@KinshasaOK Dumb ass because it might look good on her.

[HotButterOnToast]

@KinshasaOK Internalized racism. I mean sorry to air dirty laundry but, there it is.

[starangel031785]

i dont get it, isn't hair suppose to grow? whats the big deal?

[Amyparie]

that is normal growth rate ... 4 months..2 inches.. / 1 year 6 inches.

[vonnique]

@diazragu2010 i say go for !!!! lol and thanks !

[ev0ny]

Ahaha, you're adorable! I get excited over my hair, too!

Hopefully it's not too late to join your 2010 challenge!

[vonnique]

@ev0ny hey evony!! thnks hun:-). Its never to late!!!

[Asbellgrad]

you give me encouragement that my hair will grow, too. Thank you.

[vonnique]

@Asbellgrad aww yw hun!.. it will believe in yourself and anything is possible!

[kymelle]

@Asbellgrad I used to feel the same way, but I kept going to all the black haircare sites, blogs and the YouTube vids, learning as much as I could about not only products, but proper techniques- finally determining the common threads of success among our long/healthy haired sistas. And once I started apply those techniques, with dicipline and patience, I started seeing results in one year, than I had in 4. Check out my Fotki album: KYMELLE for an idea of my own hair growth/health journey. HTH

[MzVan21]

Nice..keep up the good work

[vonnique]

@MzVan21 thnks!

[gabz4444]

so what did u do from february till july? did u relax it every few weeks? and did u trim it as you were growing it?

[vonnique]

@gabz4444 I relax ever6_8weeks. but 8_10 is isdela to prevent overlapping of relaxer. I trim every 6 months or so or as needed

[The1UloveNAdor3]

omg it looks so goood!

[DayumDeelighted]

that is amazing! I'm def checking out the rest of your channel!

[vonnique]

[lashay51879]

[MrzMcnair]

was you cuttin your hair within those 6 months? or did you just cut it for that 1 period of time and your hair grow within 6 months?

[vonnique]

[vonnique]

send me a private messge mama!

[ladiig0tswaqq]

How often do you stretch your relaxers? And is it helpful?

[vonnique]

I usually relax 6 to 8 weeks. It does.. mo growth but you have to be careful with breakage. so i dont stretch more then 8 weeks

[redvelvet2620]

I understand how you feel about being excited about ur hair!! You have beautiful hair!! I love the v shape action!! I look forward to seeing ur challenge finale!!

peace, love and MO'hair

[vonnique]

Thnks redvelvet!

[RinconNessie]

I would like to know the name of the relaxer you used. I am interested in growing my hair out, and want to know where to get it.

[vonnique]

I use motions with oil moisturizer it comes in a yellow bottle I have a link to the brand on my fotki page. hope this helps:-)

[adanma101]

What oil do you use for night time...is it castor oil or that kimi oil (did I spell it right)?? Oh and when you do get your relaxer...do you wait a coupls days before moisturizing it? Or do you start that same day?

[vonnique]

I use kemi oil daily

I only use castor oil on my scalp as needed because it is very thick and can weigh down the hair

[DoobieQueen88]

Sis, i am having a MAJOR set back...firstly my dork of a friend got me for my camera so i dnt have my update pic (darn), second my last relaxer left my hair super dry...i keep doing deep condish on dry hair weekly and its still dry, no body...HELP!!!

[vonnique]

Im so sorry to here that sis! What are u using to deep condition?

[DoobieQueen88]

well i have not used dirrect heat ( flat iron) since may. I usually do a roller set and wrap for a week, wash, d/c and repeat. i use aussie 3 min miracle, summit mend condish w/ protein, lustrasilk shea butter cholesterol, neutragena tripple moisture hair mask, i have so many more d/c's. It all started after this last relaxer...I used my normal ORS ollive oil regular no-lye and i only keep it in for 10 min cause my hair is fine. maybe my hair no longer likes ORS i have used it since 2004.

[vonnique]

hmm seems good. Maybe you should lay off of the protein and see if that helps .. that could be the cause:-)

[StylishChick03]

lol geeked =]

[uncoveredangel]

how do u get ur hair so silky let that....... i had a relaxer just a week ago n my hair is soooo thick that it barely movess!! n its about the same lenght as ursss helllppp!!!!

[vonnique]

What do u do to your hair after u relxer ( roller set, wrap etc?)

[ansenel]

i love ur hair

[vonnique]

Thnks hun!

[sheaNERD]

your hair is beautiful! omg! i love it. im 7 months post relaxer & i cant wait to get a new one!

[vonnique]

Thnks! I COMMEND U! I couldnt imagine going 7 months!

[sheaNERD]

[Xinoutorah]

I am also growing my hair :) hoping to be waist length by the end of this year.

[vonnique]

Good luck! Keep me posted!

[Xinoutorah]

Sure :) that is...if I stay away from the scissors :)

[shesgotprettyeyes]

Your hair looks beautiful chica. Keep up the great work!

[vonnique]

Thnks!

[honeynsweet00]

what do u use to get ur hair thicker

[vonnique]

I have found that less heat has contributed ot thicker hair for me.

[adanma101]

Hi! I love your videos and I wanna join the challenge. Sometimes my hair gets itchy (like really itchy) I was wondering if maybe you could recommend products so that it would stop. Thanks :)

[vonnique]

girl hope on the healthy hair band wagon anytime!! I do not have experience with itchy scalp but I believe creme and nature has a lien for that.. I would research it..let me know wht u find:-)

[adanma101]

Which creme of nature should I use?? Because I have this orange-y bottle and when I went to do my hair she said my hair had a little breakage. and when I condition it...if I condition it for too long..will it break?

[vonnique]

I have thin hair strands so i use the one i use for more body but try out one the u think fits ur hair type

[daddzgirl1]

your hair looks great. my hair in the back is growing so slow but my hair in the front and sides are growing fast. You have any recommendations

[vonnique]

Girl my sides grow slow as well..hence the "v" shape. but give it time.. try messaging your scalp at night. this tends to promote circulation and hence growth .... I used to but I got lazy but I noticed more growth when I used to. Hope this helps!

[dlowe0626]

V,

Your hair looks GREAT!!!!!!!Great Progress!!!!!!!! I'm still hanging in there. God bless!

[vonnique]

Aww .Thnks!

[nicolehartage]

[K7777cj]

Looking good and healthy!!!!!

[Selesa007]

Great progress....I have a question my hair grows pretty fast but it's really thin. How can make it fuller? Do you know of any products that would work a miracle?

[vonnique]

No miracle. just consistancy and a solid regimen

[lilkc7]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am really impressed!! I decided to do the challenge with you and i havent seen any progress at all. I dont know if its because my hair dresser clip my ends, or if its because i dont use the same exact products as u do but.... my hair just looks the same.. i took pics and they still look the same. did u get your ends clipped at all? and do u have any suggestions for me?

[vonnique]

I acutally have not clip my ends since i cut my hair in feb! You def wont see progress if your hair stylist hacks off your progress every month.. Msg me your regimen

[lilkc7]

i just sent my regimen... i think i sent u it earlier but u never responded so i hope u get this one!

[smadge6]

Wow your have has grown allot since Feb. keep up the process. I love your ahir so much.
