After years of stagnant hair growth, I stopped protective styling a year ago after seeing Keke Palmer with her TWA out and my 4C hair has been flourishing. I remember thinking damn, my hair is the same length as hers... I had to admit to myself that protective styling was just an excuse to the fact that I was too scared to wear my afro out in public daily. Thankfully I've since gotten over that and I'm NOT going back to braids and wigs back-to-back-to-back. Having my hair out made me learn how to actually take care of my hair consistently. I don't even wear bonnets to sleep anymore, just a satin pillowcase. People have seriously made things 10x harder than they need to be for KZfaq content, product sponsorships and views. Now it's detangle, shampoo, deep condition, 2-strand twists that I take out the next day when dry and fluff out so I can rock a fro for about 2 weeks and repeat. Simple.

We've already shattered the myth that our hair does not grow. Here's another video that shatters the protective styling myth. You-Tube is full of all kinds of nonsense as far as hair growth tips. Onions, Garlic, mud, now cloves are taking over. How come it's just us?

THANK YOU for this video! When I started my natural hair journey I was determined not to protective style. 1) My 😂scalp is sensitive and I can’t tolerate the feel of braids and wigs. 2) I had my hair heat straightened or relaxed my entire life and had no idea what my natural hair looked like. Once I chose my natural hair I was not going to hide it. I’m approaching 7 yrs and have no regrets. My hair is healthy, full, and beautiful. My hair is out everyday and all day except at night to avoid tangles.

The best hair video that Ihave ever heard. I have refused to protective style. I have been natural since 2016. My setbacks came from color and hair grease, not wearing my hair out.

Even though I am relaxed, I never liked the idea of constantly putting hair in a protective style. Like at ehat point do we get to enjoy our hair? Personally I wear my hair most of the time & I think thats why it's so healthy. Keeping it under a wig 24/7 would cause me to be lazy

I’m on a new journey (twa) and wanted to get braid. Then remembered the pain and decided not to. I dont get why every other group of people can wake up and go but i have to constantly wear protective styles to do same?

I’m going in this direction with my daughter she hates protective styling and I’m also tired of doing them because she has sooooo much hair and it’s super thick. I honestly don’t think it’s even needed because our hair grows regardless of what we do to it we just have to maintain really.

I don’t protective style and my hair is longer than most girls who protective style 24/7

I’ve been wearing my natural hair freely since I’ve cut it all off during a mental breakdown. It’s now been month 4 and my hair has grown so much already. I haven’t used protective styling all year. Before I cut my hair I decided to stop wearing weave so why would I start now? I bought a headband wig and it STUNK so bad and made me feel silly. Then, I tried faux locs on myself and it was so tight, uncomfortable, and just not me. I took those out the same hour I finished them. It’s just no better hair than my natural hair. No matter the length. ❤❤❤❤

Awesome video! Thanks💛😊

I like washing my hair and I have a lot of hair care products, PS is not for my thin hair
