Hey loves, it is your girl, Melissa, Denise and welcome back to my channel. So today I'm going to be talking to you guys about how to maintain your hair length. Your ultimate goal really should be healthy hair, so make sure that you make sure you focus on that before you focus on length. First, keep your ends up, so everybody has a different stance on how often you should trim your hair. Some people like to go a year. Some people like to go every 3 to 4 months, I'm a three to four month person, but you know your hair. You know when your ends look ragged. In addition to trimming make sure you are keeping your ends: moisturize um, applying oil, if not every day every other day. You know that this is the oldest part of your hair. So you want to make sure that you are paying a little bit more attention, giving it a little bit more TLC, deep conditioning and protein treatments are two things that you want to make sure that are a staple in your hair, regiment conditioning. You want to make sure that you are doing it every week. If you can't, then definitely do it every other week and when it comes to protein treatments, all of them are different mine. I use a more strong one, so I can only probably use it every two to three months, but there are some protein treatments that you can get away with using them every month. So do your research see what works best for your hair? What your hair responds! Well to, but both of them are essential to maintaining your hair length and just keeping your hair, strong and healthy. All of us have product buildup on our scalp by the end of the month, even probably, by the end of the week, so make sure at least once a month that you are doing a clarifying shampoo. You can even use apple, cider, vinegar. I like to use a scrub brush that I know I've talked about a bunch of times um, but it really has helped to eliminate a lot of buildup. I will actually leave a link below if you guys would like to check it out, and it also promotes hair growth, which we all know is a plus having a healthy, clean scalp is going to improve the overall health of your hair being consistent with what you Are putting in your hair if you found a group of products that work for your hair and it's responding in a positive way? Stick with it. There is no need to switch up the products that your using every week, so you can use new products, I'm not telling you not to, but maybe say there is a new Shea Moisture product that you want to try out. Just add it to your regiment. Don'T completely eliminate what you're already have been using your hair is going to love and appreciate consistency, so make sure that you are staying consistent, make sure you're doing low manipulation. Styling. What I mean by that is maybe Sunday night is when you style your hair and that style will last the majority of the week, the less stress, the less you are pulling and tugging and brushing on your hair throughout the week. The better you want to kind of leave your hair alone and let it just kind of do its thing and not put as much stress on your hair, so try and go for those protective styles that are going to last. The majority of all so make sure you are avoiding styles that are going to pull or going to be too tight at night. Make sure you are tying your hair up in a silk or satin scarf. I know not. Everybody is a huge fan of tying their hair up at night, but it really is going to benefit you in the end. It really just locks in the moisture keeps your hair all in place. Eliminates friction and friction is really a negative thing when it comes to maintaining your hair length, maintaining the health of your ends so try and make that your goal to tie your hair up at night. You also can use a silk pillowcase or satin pillowcase, but really make it your goal to use this car pay attention to what you're wearing. I know that kind of sounds weird, but let me explain so if you have on a wool coat or a sweater or even a rough scarf and your hair is down, your ends are going to rub on that rough garment and it is going to dry out Your ends it's going to make your hair brittle it's going to break your ends. It'S going to cause split ends, and we don't want that. So I would say if you have set your wool coat, that you like to wear in the winter. Maybe you get a silk scarf that will go with your jacket and then your hair won't be rubbing on your coat. But really the easiest thing is just to wear your hair up. So wear it in a loose ponytail or a protective style where your ends aren't rubbing on your garment and it's actually something that I didn't think of for a really long time until somebody pointed it out to me so just be aware of what you're wearing and How maybe it'll affect your hair, but you know you can always switch up your hairstyle and problem-solve. Obviously, those aren't the only things to maintain your hair length they're, just some that I found helpful and wanted to share them with you. If you have any additional tips that you would like to add to the list, just make sure you leave them in the comment section below I'd love to hear from you and your tips just might help out somebody else.

Comments
Danyell Dixon: I like her. She Str8 ta the point. She never extra.. She Simple and has nice hair... Yaaaaas
Heels to High Tops: I think you covered everything. I also like to deep condition my hair every time I wash, and wash twice a week to keep my hair moisturized. I like the idea of leaving your hair alone, though. Manipulation can be so hard on our hair.
Kayla’s Koils: I'm glad to know I'm not over manipulating my hair. I wash once a week and I just let it be even if my twists from my twist out have gone and adding a dc helped my hair tremendously. I have been having dry scalp issues so melting coconut oil and adding jojoba oil and evoo is helping with that issue along with moisturizing my whole head
Fatima: Avoid direct heat and... Deep condition weekly using a deep conditioner specifically formulated for that. Don't use a regular conditioner to deep condition with as its molecules are not small enough to penetrate the hair strand :)
Carmela Christopher: Biggest tip that effects us on a daily is the clothes we wear. I don't hear this much so congrats on this tip. Years ago I've changed to wearing silk/satin blouses and velvet tops when I wear my hair down. All other fabrics I wear my hair gets tied up. Love your channel and new sub!

Breaniece Hill: Hey! For starters I am IN LOVE with your hair!!! <3 What do you do to have such amazing curls? I have always struggled with this... I am Puerto Rican and African American being that all my family has pin straight hair I have never learned how to manage my curls. If you have addressed this in a previous video I apologize however would you be able to provide me with a link so that I could learn! Also, I will be traveling to the Dominican Republic I was planning on doing a Keratin Treatment so that it's easier to manage my hair. Also, since I don't know how to work with my curls I always straighten my hair... I figured this treatment would soften my curl pattern so that I could better manage my curls. Any thought and comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much ladies in advance. Also, I apologize for the length of my post as well as my ignorance when it comes to this topic. I am trying to learn! Haha. :)
