His 4C Hair Growth Journey & Update | Length Retention & Anti Breakage Tips

At the time of recording this video, it has been a little over three years since my son, Timothy decided to grow his hair out. So it's time to give you all an update on this journey and talk about our best practices, and I'm also going to update you all on the new Journey. He will be embarking on soon like really soon. If you are new to this channel. It'S important to note the flow of our wash day has been the same since almost day. One and the only thing that really changes for us is our frequency. Don'T worry if you follow this channel. I am not here to repeat that being patient when detangling Timothy's hair has helped me retain his limp. I'M not here to repeat that deep conditioning his hair every wash day is what's helping me retain his moisture nope. Yet the real game, changer with Timothy's hair, has truly been me being really strict, with his bi-weekly wash Day schedule when I pushed Timothy wash day for just too long. Detangling takes forever, and I feel, like Timothy has experienced a lot of like unnecessary breakage because of my procrastination. Two weeks is definitely the max for him because he doesn't always sleep with his Bonnet and I know he's not always wearing that hat after school. Look at you caught you, you dropped your bag yeah. I dropped my bag boy, yet I must admit Timothy hair has been the easiest to maintain and grow within my family and that's because I've learned from the mistakes that I've made on myself in my daughter's hair. I highly encourage those who are struggling with their hair to check out the videos I have in the I cards above because I truly feel certain things that we did at the beginning of Timothy Journey has definitely led us to this point recently. We have been experimenting. A lot with blowing out his hair - and I must say styling - is much faster because his ends are not re-tanging around themselves. Yet I prefer to re-wet Timothy's hair after twisting down his length, but regardless, if I blow out his hair or style his hair in its curly state, it still takes me three days to complete his wash day and seriously that's becoming an issue. So let's talk about Timothy's New Journey, I have been grown and maintaining natural hair for over eight years now and I'm at a point where, because I have a standard of like not rushing through our hair regardless, if I'm tired or not um, I'm kind of at A point where I'm over three day wash day sessions, so I'm locking Timothy's hair. I truly thought I was gon na have more energy to maintain his loose natural hair. Now that my daughter and I are locked but honestly, the opposite happened when it came to me like looking forward to his wash day like. I would literally drag my feet because it took me 30 minutes max to do my daughter, hair and literally days to do Timothy's hair and I love his hair. But I'm truly at a point where I'm like. I can't mentally do this anymore and when I say do this, I am just referring to detangling like anything else in regards to natural hair, like I'm game, for it is just detangling that I'm over and in full transparency detangling. Our hair has always took me a long time like this is something that's not brand new um for me, and I honestly wish that I can describe what I'm feeling Beyond just saying I'm over it, but that's truly how I feel - and I don't want to sugarcoat It and honestly, big chopping again for myself or my daughter and now Timothy was not an option like we put years years of hard work into like retaining the length that we do have so cutting off our hair is completely off the table. The only other option is locking out here. So if you do decide to continue to follow this Channel and support me in any way, please know you're going to still get.
