Everyone in my house hair is long or grows fast. My mom's hair is about 3-4 inches past her shoulders and my sis when her hair is straighten is about 6 inches past her shoulders. But my hair is a lil past my neck and my braid is like 2 inches. my broke off a lot. My parents act and say my hair is fine but they dont know how its like having short hair.
okay so, i just went on your twitter and i saw some of your pictures (im not a paedo) and omg i saw your hair and i was like, 'please tell me those are extensions!'.... are they?

I'm re-watching this video again after being on my journey for 6 months. When I first watched this you had what I would consider "long" hair which I thought was unreachable for me. After being on this healthy hair journey for 6 months I have reached your hair length already :D and my hair is growing very quickly now. Hair care really does work! Our hair can grow just as fast or even faster than any other race's hair. All it takes is a little work.
anything with petroleum (<-- cant spell) clogs your pores which makes the grease just sit on top of your head and slows down the grow. use something that has natural oils in it:)
Actually clipping your ends dose make yuour hair grow longer and faster! My mom has to get her ends trimmed every 2 weeks (0r less sometimes) and it grows like crazy it's amazing how much it grows in two weeks ! Now I beg her to get my ends trimmed so it would grow as fast as hers.
Ok quick questian,I watched this video in July and I started my pledge in July and it's oct. Now and it's still as short as before... I don't understand why it takes 6 years to grow one inch of my hair! Please give me some tips! Btw I love your name and u have inspired me to keep going! :)
Clipping ur ends helps stop breakage. And when ur hair breaks at the end it ultimately makes ur hair shorter. So yes clip ur ends to prevent excessive split ends which leads to breakage and ultimately shorter hair. Duh!
I left braids in my hair for 6 months.. Id wash it whenever I needed to and i occasionally redid them whenever I felt like it. My hair grew so much longer and I permed it after I took out my braids... It flows, bounces, and looks healthy..btw cutting your ends doesn't help at all... Your hair grows from your scalp... Not your ends..

~hello joshlyn! i love your name btw . but umm your video really has inspired me to take the pledge. SO today is a new beginning for my hair thanksoto you :) ~!!!
You inspire so many african american teens everywhere. I'm still strugging with my hair growth myself but Im so happy that you took the time to do this! thank you :]
So! just recently i ran to walmart and went looking for the garnier spray, and I panicked because i couldnt find it, i think it was discontinued....and idk what i'm going to do once i used up the whole bottle, but ill let you know if i find something that works similar :}!
hair pledge myself and i was wondering if you used any of the ADj products from her website? Im glad to see that your hair journey has ben successful thank you for your videos Check out mine on my Channel B3autifulK
i was wondering if you only use white girl products but my hair isnt or doesnt look like im mixed i have really curly hair.
my hair looks like yours but i have no chemicals in my hair what so ever, i was wondering how your progress went with your hair lol i am going through your videos but i cant do them all im at work lol
please help e people aare making fun of me in school and i cant stop it they are saying my hair is ugly and sgort...what kind of braids shold i get to make it grow and how should i take care of it imma bout to b on my summer brake 4 about 4 months so is there any way i can grow it by then??? please pleASE reply :D
i love you so much , kay. well i decided to do this pledge because my hair is shoulder length short but the back of my head is not even with the rest of my hair. i was wondering if you can tell me what kind of comes and brushes to use when i wrap my hair because i usually use a rat tail comb & one of those wide tooth brushes to wrap it.and i think that's breaking my hair off.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD BLACK HAIR SALON IN CALIFORNIA FOR A RELAXER ..I AM LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEAR LONG BEACH OR ANAHIEM 'NEAR DISNEYLAND"..HELP !!!! THANX SO MUCH
Finally something for teens thank you so much for posting. Ok so my hair is almost shoulder length but I got extensions and my hair is locked so the extensions grow with my natural hair. Can I still do this? And obviously I'm not going to be able to clip my ends and stuff but I know that I can keep it healthy so I pledge to grow my hair past my chest (if i can)
you are so pretty idk y you want to make your hair longer but i understand y beacause thats what i want to do. i have a few ?s so 1 how do i kno if my hair is growing...2 were did you get that stuff for your ends at? and that will be all ps did i say ur pretty lolz hahaha
Hi!!!! I live in South Africa and i was watching another video on hair care and it was telling me all these products to get..............and i cant get any of them.........do you have any sugestions
hey girl! THANKS :d i just tried braid again, like this weekend haha, I would really reccomend learning how to properly care for them! i would make a video but, my computer has crashed since early march haha
I'm fourteen and I'm starting this ASAP. I told my mom about this and she said that putting your feet up and putting your head down is to get the blood flowing to your scalp
Maybe the stressing out about your hair, is whats causing it not to grow as fast, stress largely impacts this. Relax, sleep, eat healthy, drink water, and use those protective styles. overtime, you will see the growth :}
My hair was like that too. It was extremely short you can just do braids really small braids they have lots of tutorials on it. My mom would always do french braids on mine. Is your hair straightened or just natural at the moment?
i wrap my hair alost every single night before i go to bed and on the days that i don't i DEFINATLY see a diffrence in my hair(a bad difference) wrapping definatly helps
I'm almost fourteen and I've never permed my hair, only hot combed a few times. My hair was quite long until it was hot combed once and it fell out, and now I'm trying to grow it back but it's taking sooo long. I also never really put heat in it and I use almost all natural hair products, but I don't know what else to do any suggestions?

but let me ask u something. don't you think that because you live i america and aka the northern hemisphere, your hair is more likely to grow and break less. because i live in the souther hemisphere, in south africa and women here have very short hair. it's rare to see shoulder length hair. so do you think that climate might also have something to do with it?
@MissCarrieCake lool yea right, has nothing to do with that, its about genetics! black people can not grow their hair, if it grows it wont be soft...it will grow in afro form, and then they will have to perm it and relax it(which causes damage) then it falls out.
That whole African American peoples hair doesnt grow as fast as everyone elses is bull. The reason why it may seem that way is because alot of African American females are confused as to how to take care of their hair and even though it grows the ends usually break off which make seem as if its the same length im proof I chopped my hair off about 4 months and it was above my ears now its already at my shoulders. African American females dont let ANYBODY tell you that you cant grow beautiful hair
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sub-Saharan African (where slaves came from) hair will NEVER grow as fast as Caucasian hair. And the growth potential is much shorter. Just letting you know.
It's not bull. It's fact. It's due to adaptations. Sub-Saharan Africans have course hair that grows upwards with a shorter growth potential because of the climate. Straight hair hanging to your waist is not practical in a 100 degree climate.
@Specialribbon Not actually true as Africa is where the human race came from and the genes are shared across races. Just because it looks shorter when it is shrunken and natural, does not mean it does not grow as fast or as long. I know Sub-Saharan Africans with Waist length and beyond hair.
Exactly what you said, the genes are shared across races. I'm not doubting the validity of your claims, but what you are seeing in those people are emerging recessive traits. Most of these are not as dominant. Long hair in sub-Saharan Africa would be more of a curse. In freezing northern Europe, it was necessary for them to have fast growing hair and more body hair. Most sub-Saharan Africans physically can't grow long hair.
@Specialribbon actually you're wrong..im from Africa and u probably can tell from my pic because my hair is short there...but our hair grows a lot because we don't use all these bootleg black chemicals in out hair..if you don't believe me...look at videos of African hair ie Ethiopian hair
Ethiopians do have beautiful hair. But that's not where slaves came from. Ethiopians are east African, not west sub-Saharans. Ethiopians have been mixing with Arabs for centuries.
@Specialribbon well my familys from nigerian..and it may be bc we're of the igbo tribe but we have really really long hair naturally....and depends on your ancestry and genes..different africans have different ancestry
Many central African tribes are descendants of migrating tribes from east Africa. (Mixed Arab)
But I'm not saying that it's impossible to have long hair for Sub-Saharan Africans. It's just less likely than other groups that are from a colder climate that the hair actually served a purpose. And you're right, it's all genetics. That's exactly what I've been trying to say -___-
I'm not sure what you were trying to impy about Igbo people. I am one and Igbo people are not mixed with Arab at all.
There is NO RACIAL DIFFERENCE in the rate of hair growth.
Everyones hair basically grows at the same rate. The difference is that African hair breaks at a faster rate b/c 1) its damaged from a relaxer or 2) when its natural(fro) the ends knot and break off. the hair is too dry/brittle, or it breaks when combing. It just requires more care to not break it.
@Specialribbon thank u!! someone who knows some history!!! the slaves that came from america WERE NOT east african, they were west african(benin,nigeria,ghana) but northern africans can pass for Arabs,latino,mixed,italian etc( go to algeria,tunisiamegypt,north sudan,morrocco,libya,etc) they have light skin with h air down their waist! so ppl shouldnt say "african" as if africa is a country, damn!
@Specialribbon It's been a proven fact that all hair grows at the same rate. However, most black hair is more prone to breakage because of it's texture so it only looks as though it doesn't grow as fast because the ends constantly break as much as our hair grows. If you're able to maintain your length and preserve the ends of your hair then it will get longer. Our hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month, the same as everyone else.
@Specialribbon Actually, that's not true. Who told you that and where did you get that information? The reason Sub-Saharan African hair APPEARS not the grow as fast as Caucasion hair is because our hair is coily. Also, African (Black) folk need to remember that if we properly take care of our uniquely textured hair the way it is meant to (i.e., not adhering to ways and products that folks who have straight hair utilize), then the sky is the limit in terms of growth.
actually it kinda does but since Sub-Suharan Aricans as u call them have a different hair texture the growth looks really minimal. Also the texture causes natural oils to not slide down the shaft which is why we have lots of drying. Most times the hair breaks faster than it grows which make the hair look like its not growing at all
Hi Guys there is a hair growth contest that will be fun and will encourage postive relationship with wome of color. The prize is $150 and it begins 1/1/2011.
here is the link for those who are interested in having fun while growing hair and supporting women of color.
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Trim your hair. condition it and stop using crap on your hair. Also heredity plays a big part oh how long your hair grows.
Almonds are expensive for this college student. I stick to a vegetarian diet that should be good enough. i just stick to tofu, veggies, grapes, brown rice, water, tofurkey,whole wheat/multigrain, veganese w/flax(which taste just like mayo without dairy). Taking hair, skin and nails supplements, protective styling(braids), aloe vera juice, aubrey protein conditioner, coconut oil, carol's daughter leave conditioner and smoothie, giovanni shampoo. I want to add iron supplement and henna.
@Onegurrrlrev: That is good, but remember too much is not good for the body, it is so unhealthy that pregnant women should never consume soy products.
@Onegurrrlrev: Vegan is best, but a detox should last 160 days in order to replace all old and damaged cells. An inch in two months is really slow. There is a list on my site, maybe you should take a look at it - while it is posted.
i have my hair twisted up right now and i want it to grow...im in college and im kind of afraid to go natural because i haven't for so long with having it up in twisties...but im going to try and do this stuff while its up
@esaxxcutiee uhhh , NO. that's not true , i'm black.. aand it's REALLY hard, so quit stereotypin'. our hair is rougher and not as soft and silky as ya'lls. so know the facts, before you say stuff you don't even know .
@esaxxcutiee Just like how white people dont know how to wash their hair ¬_¬
I think its extremely ignorant that you took the time to search how to grow afro american hair, when claerly your white...? doesn't make sense does it.
@esaxxcutiee its what u put into ur body not onto ur hair, do not use chemicals,alot of heat..in order for hair to grow it must be strong. WEAK HAIR WILL NOT GROW!! if ur hair is damaged, it wont grow at all! but if u eat right,drink water,use natural oils, it strengthens hair. Plus genetics is VITAL, indian,caucasian,asian,arab,latino,mixed ppl can grow their hair long easy. Its the truth and its scinetifically proven too, u can put miracle gro until kingdom come, it still wont grow an inch
i read that using all natural products and washing and conditioning your hair every week is what your supposed to do im so confused because everytime i go to a website ther's always something different what do you do?
@princeofcrunk20o8: You may need to approach it from an internal aspect, I place the Naturopathic list on my site, but it will only be posted for a few days.
i as well have african american hair, im going to be a freshmen this year and i cut my hair shoulder length and my hair was like past my boobs lol and i want my hair to grow back as long as it used to be by my senior year!
Im trying to grow my hair too. i got it braided in weave right now. I chopped it off so i only had about 2 inches (almost a yr ago) now its down to my chin but i want..no NEED it longer.lol. At least ur length (i love ur hair)
Everyone in my house hair is long or grows fast. My mom's hair is about 3-4 inches past her shoulders and my sis when her hair is straighten is about 6 inches past her shoulders. But my hair is a lil past my neck and my braid is like 2 inches. my broke off a lot. My parents act and say my hair is fine but they dont know how its like having short hair.

I'm almost fourteen and I've never permed my hair, only hot combed a few times. My hair was quite long until it was hot combed once and it fell out, and now I'm trying to grow it back but it's taking sooo long. I also never really put heat in it and I use almost all natural hair products, but I don't know what else to do any suggestions?
MsSophialicious 1 year ago
but let me ask u something. don't you think that because you live i america and aka the northern hemisphere, your hair is more likely to grow and break less. because i live in the souther hemisphere, in south africa and women here have very short hair. it's rare to see shoulder length hair. so do you think that climate might also have something to do with it?

@MissCarrieCake lool yea right, has nothing to do with that, its about genetics! black people can not grow their hair, if it grows it wont be soft...it will grow in afro form, and then they will have to perm it and relax it(which causes damage) then it falls out.

That whole African American peoples hair doesnt grow as fast as everyone elses is bull. The reason why it may seem that way is because alot of African American females are confused as to how to take care of their hair and even though it grows the ends usually break off which make seem as if its the same length im proof I chopped my hair off about 4 months and it was above my ears now its already at my shoulders. African American females dont let ANYBODY tell you that you cant grow beautiful hair

Sub-Saharan African (where slaves came from) hair will NEVER grow as fast as Caucasian hair. And the growth potential is much shorter. Just letting you know.

It's not bull. It's fact. It's due to adaptations. Sub-Saharan Africans have course hair that grows upwards with a shorter growth potential because of the climate. Straight hair hanging to your waist is not practical in a 100 degree climate.
Specialribbon 1 year ago
@Specialribbon Not actually true as Africa is where the human race came from and the genes are shared across races. Just because it looks shorter when it is shrunken and natural, does not mean it does not grow as fast or as long. I know Sub-Saharan Africans with Waist length and beyond hair.
I'm mid-back length and growing!
lolascrib 1 year ago
Exactly what you said, the genes are shared across races. I'm not doubting the validity of your claims, but what you are seeing in those people are emerging recessive traits. Most of these are not as dominant. Long hair in sub-Saharan Africa would be more of a curse. In freezing northern Europe, it was necessary for them to have fast growing hair and more body hair. Most sub-Saharan Africans physically can't grow long hair.

@Specialribbon actually you're wrong..im from Africa and u probably can tell from my pic because my hair is short there...but our hair grows a lot because we don't use all these bootleg black chemicals in out hair..if you don't believe me...look at videos of African hair ie Ethiopian hair
lelaluxurious 1 year ago
Ethiopians do have beautiful hair. But that's not where slaves came from. Ethiopians are east African, not west sub-Saharans. Ethiopians have been mixing with Arabs for centuries.

@Specialribbon well my familys from nigerian..and it may be bc we're of the igbo tribe but we have really really long hair naturally....and depends on your ancestry and genes..different africans have different ancestry
lelaluxurious 1 year ago
Many central African tribes are descendants of migrating tribes from east Africa. (Mixed Arab)
But I'm not saying that it's impossible to have long hair for Sub-Saharan Africans. It's just less likely than other groups that are from a colder climate that the hair actually served a purpose. And you're right, it's all genetics. That's exactly what I've been trying to say -___-

I'm not sure what you were trying to impy about Igbo people. I am one and Igbo people are not mixed with Arab at all.
There is NO RACIAL DIFFERENCE in the rate of hair growth.
Everyones hair basically grows at the same rate. The difference is that African hair breaks at a faster rate b/c 1) its damaged from a relaxer or 2) when its natural(fro) the ends knot and break off. the hair is too dry/brittle, or it breaks when combing. It just requires more care to not break it.

@Specialribbon thank u!! someone who knows some history!!! the slaves that came from america WERE NOT east african, they were west african(benin,nigeria,ghana) but northern africans can pass for Arabs,latino,mixed,italian etc( go to algeria,tunisiamegypt,north sudan,morrocco,libya,etc) they have light skin with h air down their waist! so ppl shouldnt say "african" as if africa is a country, damn!

funny0duddy 11 months ago
@Specialribbon It's been a proven fact that all hair grows at the same rate. However, most black hair is more prone to breakage because of it's texture so it only looks as though it doesn't grow as fast because the ends constantly break as much as our hair grows. If you're able to maintain your length and preserve the ends of your hair then it will get longer. Our hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month, the same as everyone else.
monkeystripes 1 year ago 3
@Specialribbon Actually, that's not true. Who told you that and where did you get that information? The reason Sub-Saharan African hair APPEARS not the grow as fast as Caucasion hair is because our hair is coily. Also, African (Black) folk need to remember that if we properly take care of our uniquely textured hair the way it is meant to (i.e., not adhering to ways and products that folks who have straight hair utilize), then the sky is the limit in terms of growth.
luvlilocs34 1 year ago
@Specialribbon
actually it kinda does but since Sub-Suharan Aricans as u call them have a different hair texture the growth looks really minimal. Also the texture causes natural oils to not slide down the shaft which is why we have lots of drying. Most times the hair breaks faster than it grows which make the hair look like its not growing at all

Almonds are expensive for this college student. I stick to a vegetarian diet that should be good enough. i just stick to tofu, veggies, grapes, brown rice, water, tofurkey,whole wheat/multigrain, veganese w/flax(which taste just like mayo without dairy). Taking hair, skin and nails supplements, protective styling(braids), aloe vera juice, aubrey protein conditioner, coconut oil, carol's daughter leave conditioner and smoothie, giovanni shampoo. I want to add iron supplement and henna.

Only half true,
White girl's hair grows at the rate of 3.02 milli-minutes a day and African Americans grow 2.98.
you're right, we don't know how to maintain our length though, once we do, we can have length like white people in no time :}.

@esaxxcutiee its what u put into ur body not onto ur hair, do not use chemicals,alot of heat..in order for hair to grow it must be strong. WEAK HAIR WILL NOT GROW!! if ur hair is damaged, it wont grow at all! but if u eat right,drink water,use natural oils, it strengthens hair. Plus genetics is VITAL, indian,caucasian,asian,arab,latino,mixed ppl can grow their hair long easy. Its the truth and its scinetifically proven too, u can put miracle gro until kingdom come, it still wont grow an inch
