From Shoulder Length To Tail Bone Length: Interview With Kamisha

[ag00]

Don't know if you guys seen this video but I thought it would be interesting to share. This is Kamisha. She's a natural from CA that grew her hair from SL to tail bone using a few unconventional products and methods. I love this video becauses she uses many of the products I've raved about.

Cliff Notes

• Been natural all of her life except 6th grade. Got a relaxer and grew it out within a year
  
• Didn't start or know anything about a "healthy hair journey" (LOCing, deep conditioning) until 2 years prior
  
• Used 3 main things from hs to college. Any generic grease brand, AmPro style gel, & Mane N' Tail Conditioner.
  
• Before her healthy hair journey, washed her hair once a month. Now washes it twice a month.
• Has not found a deep conditioner she likes but mainly uses Giovanni Direct
  
• Before healthy hair journey, would flat iron once every 3 months. Now does it less then that. Has never used heat protectant and STILL doesn't.
  
• Hair in video was flat ironed with grease.
• When she uses a comb, uses the half-fine/half-coarse teethed combs. Doesn't comb from the ends. Starts from the VERY top.

Congrats to the unicorn. Saw a vid with her on youtube. She has gorgeous hair.

 

[LdyKamz]

She has really really pretty hair. I didn't watch the whole video but did hear that she has only been actively taking care of her hair for 2 years. But she was already maintaining waist length before that I think she said. She might have had a good regimen all along without even knowing it.

I don't think this is unicornish. She straightens her hair, coats it in grease and throws it in a protective style for 3 months. It's low manipulation with heat 4 times a year. It makes sense that she's able to retain length.

I'm talking the tiny teeth comb thing combined with no heat protectant. I'd have two inches of hair if I did that. But I have super fine, super dense, super kinky strands so there is no way that a tiny comb would work without destroying delicate strands.

THEN she proceeds to comb from the top down? Yeah, not only would I have two inches left of hair but only two strands that are two inches long

So that's why I personally called her a unicorn. It has nothing to do with the length also because we can certainly grow hair as any one else.

As you mentioned protective styling is always a great tool that helps a lot of us get to our goals for sure. But I think she also has super resilient strands that can handle the other stuff I mentioned.

Wow she has beautiful hair!!!

 

[yaya24]

Beautiful hair!

 

[Guinan]

Her hair is beautiful.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Her hair is GAWJUS! I promote doing whatever works. Live and let live...even down to hair.

I saw her on Courtney's Instagram...I think she is a hair model or spokesperson or whatever you call it for Courtney's hair vitamins.

Kamisha is NOT a "unicorn". She just has a pretty simple reggie and rarely wears her hair "out". She's the closest thing to "The African-American Girl With Long Hair" I've seen in a long time , if y'all remember her?

I agree! I have fine strands and they couldn't stand up to her regimen!

Kudos to her! Very pretty hair!

 

[Nightingale]

Pretty hair. Her routine isn't something I'd try, but more power to her.

 

[ClassyJSP]

um her hair is pretty i'll give her that. BUT I could never comb my hair from the roots down that ish hurts.

 

[PlainJane]

So how does she wear her hair every day? (I didn't watch the video)

 

[jennifer30]

we have the same regimen!
