I had been stuck at shoulder length for years. I was doing all the recommended things on your list and still nothing. What I found is that for me, I needed to be manipulating my hair MUCH less. I started leaving my hair alone. Using less products in my hair, not loading it up with all the creams, fats, butters and syrups, LOL and doing the minimum of cowashing, deep conditioning, using a leave in and applying a sealant. It left my hair moisturized, but not weighed down. I would then style my hair in a style I didn't have to manipulate daily. So a more protective style or something I didn't have to touch and I didn't touch it until I needed to detangle or pre poo it for wash day. Now my hair is waist length. Almost touching my butt in the back. It's amazing!!! Very healthy and this works the best for me. I still do the things you suggest because THAT'S IMPORTANT!!!! BUT I needed to take it one step further. Less manipulation. 😍♥

Got pass my midback plateau with inverted scalp massages, incorporating wide tooth comb after finger detangling as opposed to only finger detangling and low manipulation protective styles. Protective styles i wear are 2 strand twist, single braid, buns...the key was a moisturizing shampoo, DC, thoroughly detangled hair and a "tried and true" oil. Now I'm full WL and grazing tailbone. Oh im 6ft tall btw and it took approx 6 months to get here

When you're stuck at shoulder length (or bra strap length) it can be completely frustrating! You're desperately trying to figure out what's going wrong. Why To Do: 1.) Create and stick to a set routine. How long do you go between washes? Are you moisturizing when you need to consistently? Are you deep conditioning on a regular basis? 2.) Limit or eliminate chemical treatments like relaxers and texturizers. 3.) Be gentle with your hair. Don't overuse heat and be careful of the hair accessories that can break your hair. 4.) Protect your hair when you go out in the freezing cold temps and give your hair treatments after significant sun exposure and when you've come in contact with chlorine or salt water. Consistency is really key! If you already follow most of these rules, then your issue may be moisture and protein balancing which is the topic of my next video. Turn on your notifications so you don't miss it! I hope these tips help!

I was shedding a lot as well and just couldn't figure it out. I read up on Aphogee and they said you could do a protein treatment every week for a month and then do it once a month. It helped me tremendously, but I found out that I need to do a protein treatment every other week for it to be effective. Great advice.

It was struggle for my hair to reach collarbone stretched for a long time. I was natural for first time for 10 years, I would daily rinse and my hair grew very fast and it stuck at armpit length. Then I texturalised my hair, didn't like it and I cut it out after 10 months. I will be soon be five years natural on 29th December and my hair has grown faster in the last 5 months, because I wash my hair twice a week, henna once a month and deep condition and using henna gloss once a week, doing my final rinse with water and oil has made a huge difference, putting castor oil on the tips of my ends, massaging my hair and using ayurvedic herbs has also greatly helped. I have lightened or bleached and coloured my hair, but I only do sections and I colour or bleach myself. Washing my hair in plaits or braids, using rice water have really improved my hair, tangles and single strands knots have greatly reduced.

I found out that the products including the brush I used to use weren't right for my hair. So after switching up my products (the less I use the better), washing my hair less, and being more gentle, I've seen more growth and am able to retain length. Listen to your hair and do what it says even of you don't want to. You'll definitely see results.

At that plateau. My ends are trash and single strands knots are my worst enemy. I recently started devacurl product line after having my hair in a protective style for too long. So far my hair is unbelievably soft and moisturized even in this cold weather up north. my styles would "probably" last a full week for low manipulation but i am cowashing weekly on this new regimen, solely finger detangling because I KNOW that greatly reduces my breakage and unnecessary shedding/stress on my hair, dc every two weeks And keeping a clean scalp with no oils beside sebum with scalp massages daily . Hopefully these new practices shows some results. I'll update in a few months with results

Btw, I just got to shoulder length, from my 3rd big chop (2nd big chop as a natural), and this is the longest my hair has been as a natural and maybe period. So hopefully I can push past. I'm pretty sure I can because I see a significant difference in my hair since January. I see growth every 3 months really. And now that I finally know how to take care of my hair and I'm about to start making my own ayurvedic products, I know my hair growth & retention are about to continue, if not sky rocket.

I used to do mini twists/braids (no weave), that style always tend to almost lock my hair, so it was more breakage than retention. I stopped doing that, not I'm doing medium sized cornrows that goes to the side and back (I didn't want to pull the from of my hair too far back and cause more breakage). That picture you used for tight styles with those marks on the nape, I had the same exact problem months ago, I thought that picture was me (my skin color etc).

Hi R.T., may I make a few suggestions if you don't mind. Firstly, don't forget the internal aspect of things ie nutrition, so in conjunction with keeping the ends moisturised and tucked out of the way, maybe you could consume an omega 3 rich source such as krill oil or astaxanthin, even evening primrose capsules would be helpful and B vitamins. Deep conditioning, moisturising and hydrating fairly regularly could also improve your hair length game. Blessings.
