Are we drinking enough water? Are we eating a healthy diet? Because these things play a part. Now, I know they got all kinds of hair and nail vitamins on the market and biotin and all these different supplements, but what we put inside our bodies makes a difference as well. And so, yes, black women can grow long hair. It is not an anomaly. It is not limited to people who are of mixed race

We understand that if you have alopecia, we understand can that if you have an autoimmune condition like lupus or something that's happening in your body illness wise, we know. Or if you're going under chemotherapy or have gone under chemotherapy, we know there are different things that can affect the way hair grows. But I'm talking about people who have general health, generally in good health, and are just not willing to put in the time and the effort and the patience to grow long hair

So now that my hair is in a healthier place because I am deep conditioning it and taking better care of it, I love it. But I just feel bad for others that are losing their hair like that. And maybe if we do take the time to deep condition and just pamper ourselves and our hair instead of just our nails and makeup and such and such, it would make all the difference

And so I take full responsibility for the sins I've committed against my hair, because there are a lot of things that I did that I didn't have to do, but that contributed to some of the damage to my hair. So thank you so much, SIS

So I think the fact that we do neglect our hair is a big thing. But I'm excited because of what you said. I can't wait to see what it's going to be with me trying to take care of it now

But this is a reminder for me to take care of my hair a little better. Green foods are really good for growing hair and cause your hair to grow longer and be stronger but it is a factor of the genetics. It is genetics most of the time because the kid's dad's mom, her hair was long. His dad's hair is long. All the family has this long hair. Sister my side of the family, my mom's hair, it didn't really grow

And so I talked to my doctor about it back in May, and she switched my meds. And after she put me on a different medication, all of the shedding and the breakage and everything completely stopped. And so I'm in the process of just rehabbing my hair from all of that breakage that took place over the last month of 2022. And I thought it was like the bleach in my hair. I thought it was the products I was using
