To those of you who are comparing my rate of growth with yours, you are forgetting one thing and that is HEIGHT! We are not all the same height and the distance between my shoulders and waist for instance is going to be different than yours. So don't get hung up on how "slow" you are growing compared to me - it's probably just because you are taller! Humans generally grow about a half inch of hair per month, and the variation from person to person isn't very big. In any case, try to enjoy the journey and appreciate your own lovely tresses at whatever length you have! 😊

Makes me wanna pull my hair cuz it grows SO SLOW!!!!

I’m seeing this 3 years late but it’s so inspiring

A big hint for your hair is to not shower everyday, Don't wear elastic hairbands, don't brush it when it is wet, and do not use heat to it or it will kill your hair... Also start from the bottom of your hair and work your way up. My hair right now is at the back of my knees. I hope these tips are helpful for you, ❤

This makes me so motivated to grow my hair long

I used to have hair about 4 fingers above my belly button. Now it's shoulder length. Never. Never again.

I'm finally near all my hair being the same length. I'm about two inches away. My hair had to be cut to my ears because of my mental health problems I pulled my hair out. Now it's about shoulder length and getting healthy as well as my mind 🙂

What really annoys me is when my 18 year old daughter goes out with us (her bright red hair is waste length) she has complete strangers going up to her saying how wonderful it is but would she not think of donating it! like it's some kind of sin to have long hair and enjoy it. other talk about the dangers and talk about story's of people getting their hair trapped or people stealing it in the street in various places. I'm starting to think they're just jealous!

[safamarwan]

My hair was shorter than hers, and It's been 6 years I didn't have a haircut. And still her hair grew more than mine😂😂😂😂😂

Girl your hair is gorgeous!!! Love your natural color!

I swear guys this will grow your hair use coconut oil or any organic oil you have even if it's cooking oil, the most important thing is massage your scalp!! just masage it every single day, at least for month and see the results my cousin her hair was same length for a 10 years, she massage it for a month every day for 20 mints and it grows out like crazy, her hair now is almost in her knees you hair needs blood to circulation to grow its really more important than the oil you use

This is exactly what I was looking for. Very simple yet very detailed video. No long intro and the pictures were a great add because I needed to see it to believe it and be inspired by it. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I’m just starting my journey to grow out my hair after years and years of having really short hair to dying my hair with box dye every month for 2 years straight and straightening it everyday, getting it permed and putting bleach on it and reaching a point where I realize that if I keep doing that I’ll eventually go bald. Thank you so much for this video, again, I will do as you did with some extra homemade hair masks that I used to do that kept my hair from completely failing on me when I box dyed it. Thank you thank you! You’re giving me hope. I really really miss my long hair and I am absolutely done with short damaged hair. You’re an angel!

wow hold up, 'only' 5 years? The difference is impressive. LHC is amazing, I'm so so happy I have found it! Ty for sharing your story c:

[adjjal]

Your layer story made me feel so much better about my terrible accidental layers 💕 hopefully they grow out soon just like yours, your hair is beautiful!

[emmahiggins]

I started my long hair journey 3 years ago and often come back to this video to help keep me motivated. Also, your voice relaxes me so much! Thank you x

[lajwantishahani]

I began growing out my hair about 5 years ago too, except I began at a pixie and now it's down to waist length. That was also when I decided to stop coloring and go natural with my gray hair. So now it's almost entirely salt & pepper overall with a thick strand of silver at the front which looks almost like a highlight :)

[ANoteToSelf]

I think I'm actually going to cry... I miss my tbl hair so much... I'm at collar bone and my hairstylist notched my cut twice. :( you have lovely locks!

[misakiluv]

I'm 4'10, my hair last yrs was at shoulder length. Now one yrs later it pass bra length. Cant wait for it to be my waist length or hip length

[vang]

Watching this last year has definitely encouraged me to keep growing out my hair!! I started growing my hair 5yrs ago! And its definitely getting close to tail bone length! I can't wait until I get to my goal length!! ❤ I'm so sad you're no longer making videos! 😥

[katewank]

I love it! I'm sitting here with an oil treatment on and loving having long hair again. I'm growing out a pixie cut from 4 years ago and my hair is currently waist length. I loved the pixie cut but it just wasn't "me". I'm a long hair girl <3
