This treatment kickstarts the wash-day process and helps the health of your hair in the long run &#8211; including minimizing shedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Scalp Scrubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I also love scalp scrubs which I implement into my healthy hair routine once a month. Scalp scrubs allow for the scalp to feel renewed by sloughing off the dead skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another benefit of using a scalp scrub is that it creates a clean environment for the hair to grow. This step has been a huge game-changer and makes my scalp feel so fresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Low Manipulation Styling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another technique I love is to style my hair in low manipulation styles that last a week or two -such as twists and braids. Low-manipulation styles help so much in preventing you from constantly touching, combing, and doing more than necessary to your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"869\" src=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-800x869.jpg\" alt=\"How To Grow Thick\/Long Natural Hair\" class=\"wp-image-4976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-800x869.jpg 800w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-1160x1260.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-1414x1536.jpg 1414w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-1885x2048.jpg 1885w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-120x130.jpg 120w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-90x98.jpg 90w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-320x348.jpg 320w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-560x608.jpg 560w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-1920x2086.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/chatbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image_50433537-scaled.jpg 2356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Moisturize Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I did the big chop from waist-length hair in 2014, I knew this was the right decision for me. Now that I have tried so many different lengths for my hair, I want to get back to waist length! For waist-length hair, I prioritize staying on a consistent routine, as mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, I wash my hair every one to two weeks to stay on the &#8220;healthy hair track.&#8221; I have noticed washing my hair (including a nice <a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/squeaky.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cleanse<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/richee-rich.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conditioning treatment<\/a>) helps prevent my hair from drying out. Whenever my hair feels a little dry, I will quickly <a href=\"https:\/\/unclefunkysdaughter.com\/hair-care\/supercurl.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moisturize<\/a> it to prevent breakage! This step is crucial to avoid unnecessary hair damage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prioritize healthy hair, you will automatically retain length. Try implementing these habits for the health of your hair, and you will be at waist length in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #5: Be Consistent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I know there is a lot more to growing thick\/long natural hair, but these are the fundamentals. Once you develop a great routine that works for you and your lifestyle &#8211; continue to do that! I&#8217;ve seen tremendous growth when I listen to my hair and its needs! It&#8217;s also important to act quickly and not wait until the next few days to care for your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, consistency is key!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>xoxo<br>Jeanette (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ravishing_tresses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ravishing_tresses<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to healthy hair growth &#8211; there are a few techniques that I consider essential!
