Top 10 Sexiest Long Hair Ponytails on Instagram 2020

One may think that spending more time indoors and limited exposure to the sun and pollution will improve one’s hair health. Contrary to the expectation, this lockdown has led to many beauty concerns, hair-thinning topping the list at the moment. If you are trying to put the finger on the possible reasons why your crowning glory is tuning into a limp, dull mane, here’s putting together a list of possible factors you should keep in check.

You’re letting STRESS take over your peace.

Everything from being confined within four walls with limited resources to figuring work from home and accepting the grave reality of the world outside can pile up, resulting in stress and anxiety.

Mihir Gadani, a nutrition expert and the co-founder of OZiva—a clean, plant-based nutrition brand in India—shares, “Stress is known to trigger hair loss. It can increase hair-damaging and pro-inflammatory elements in the body. Stress and anxiety can push hair follicles into a ‘resting’ phase so that they don’t produce new strands, further leading to more hair fall.”

Your HAIR HYGIENE has taken a backseat.

It’s difficult to find the motivation to indulge in time-taking hair washes when you have nowhere to go. As a result, delaying hair wash days has become a common norm during quarantine, leading to greasiness and product build-up that can significantly degrade hair health. Sweat and humidity further add to these hair woes, leading to dandruff that causes hair to fall.

“Sebum is naturally produced by sebaceous glands and lubricates the scalp. However, lack of hair hygiene can cause clogging of hair follicles due to the oily substances that block hair growth. Hence, regular hair washes are necessary to control sebum production and promote scalp health,” Gadani explains.

However, don’t let sweaty summers trick you into over-washing your hair, as it will do more harm than good. “Excessive and continuous use of shampoo and conditioner also damages hair health to a great extent. Over-washing will weaken proteins causing hair to become weak and fragile,” Gadani warns.

It’s recommended to wash your hair two to three times a week to maintain hair hygiene, without stripping off the natural oils from your scalp.

Everything from long working hours and stress to lack of care and poor dietary habits contributes towards a dull and lifeless mane. The current lockdown scenario has given many a chance to reconsider their poor lifestyle choices and strengthen their hair care regime.



DIY haircare remedies have come up as a much sought after way to give your hair a strong boost of nourishment as we spend all our time at home. However, topical treatments can only enhance the appearance of your tresses. To truly strengthen your hair and promote holistic care, one needs to pay attention to nutrition intake through the diet.

Mihir Gadani, a nutrition expert and the co-founder of OZiva—a clean, plant-based nutrition brand in India—shares, “Nutritional deficiency has been observed to be one of the major factors influencing hair health. A healthy diet—comprised of balanced macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and adequate amounts of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals)—provides required nutrition to the hair follicles, thereby boosting nourishment, promoting hair growth, and reducing hair fall.”

Resort to hair-healthy foods to nurture a luscious, envy-worthy mane.

Power Up With Protein

Proteins play a significant role in maintaining hair health. “Hair structure is largely made up of proteins—keratin—contributing to 80 to 85% of its composition. When keratin weakens, hair strands become more prone to breakage. Regular intake of protein can improve growth and strengthen the roots. It is also beneficial in curing hair problems like dandruff and scalp psoriasis,” explains Gadani.

Oats, lentils, peas, almonds, spinach, and broccoli are some excellent sources of plant protein. For animal protein, one can load up on dairy products, chicken, salmon, and shrimp.

Say Citrus 

The citrusy goodness of lemon, orange, guava, and lime, comes with the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C.

Gadani says, “Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen—the main structural protein in the body—required by hair follicles for optimal growth. Fruits such as grapes also contain a high concentration of polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties that help to prevent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production. DHT is the hormone known to be the main cause of hair loss.”

And some of the mistakes to stop making now.

Also, I will include some resources and tools that will guide you in the right direction on your 4C hair journey.

Before we get started, I want you to get in the mind set that this will take time and patience.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF YOUR 4C HAIR?

You should give as much attention to your 4C hair because it matters.

Yes, it is not like other natural hair, but it is beautiful and deserves all the love and care. It shouldn’t be hidden under a wig all the time for whatever reason. 

Also, the reward that you will get out of knowing that you took care of your 4C crown is amazing.

HERE ARE FOUR REASONS WHY YOUR 4C HAIR MAY NOT BE GROWING.

Use of Heat

The use of heat may not seem like a lot but, it may be stopping your hair from growing.

When blowdrying your 4C hair, it is recommended to use the dryer on cool setting or air dry it.

Too Severe

Let’s face it, we can can be rough with our hair especially when we are in a hurry.

So anytime you touch your hair remember that it is fragile no matter what state it is in. Be nice to your hair.

You are not just suffering from hair fall out, but rather from hair loss. There are many types of hair loss, also known as Alopecia.

If you have hair anywhere on your body, you should be aware of the types of hair loss you may experience throughout your lifetime.

The most common hair loss we know occurs on the scalp.

There are two main types of hair found on the body, Vellus, and Terminal hair.

Vellus hair, also known as Lanugo hair is the fine, short, hair found in hairless places throughout your body.

It is most likely found on the forehead, eyelids, etc. It is not found in places like the palms, soles of feet.

This type of hair is un-pigmented and women usually retain about 55 percent more Vellus hair than men. The main purpose of Vellus hair is to help with the evaporation of perspiration.

Terminal hair is the hair that you and I care about the most because it grows out of our scalp. It is not only found on the scalp but also on the legs and arms.

TYPES OF HAIR LOSS: HAIR GROWTH CYCLE

The hair growth consists of three phases and is repeated over and over throughout your lifetime.

The Anagen is the phase in which new hair is produced from new cells within the hair follicle.

Followed by the Catagen phase, the brief transition phase between the Anagen and Telogen phases.

In the last phase of the hair growth cycle, Telogen is known as the resting and the final stage.

The hair growth cycle is set in motion to function normally, and with that, we all lose some hair every day.

So when you comb or brush your hair and some hair comes out, that is normal.

It is a direct result of the hair growth cycle working as it should. For every shed hair, you get a replacement.

However, if you notice bald spots, then you are suffering from a form of abnormal hair loss which is is caused by a disruption in the hair growth cycle.

There are many types of hair loss and each one has a cause.

This blog post is not meant to diagnose your medical condition, but rather to educate you on the types of hair loss.

Please seek the help of a medical professional to determine the root cause of your hair loss condition.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF HAIR LOSS

Before we get to the different types of hair loss, let’s discuss the emotional trauma that comes with hair loss.

A survey that investigated the perceptions of balding men shows that bald or balding men are perceived as less attractive, assertive, successful, older looking.

Bald men tend to become more preoccupied with their new baldness and make efforts in other areas to overcompensate.

Men are not the only ones affected by abnormal hair loss, women are too.

My first experience with abnormal hair loss or Alopecia was years ago when an old friend from my high school who suffered from hair loss in her teens came to my house for hair services and she showed me her bald spots.

From what she told me it was devasting, and it destroyed her self esteem and made her feel less attractive. She covered her hair with a hat every day.

Abnormal hair loss is more worrisome for women in general because it is unusual, so we worry that is related it is a more serious medical condition.

TYPES OF HAIR LOSS

Although there are many types of Alopecia, we will focus on the main types of hair loss found in men, women, and children of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds.

ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

Also known as Androgenetic Alopecia. This is the most common type of hair loss and is found more in men than women.

It is also known as male pattern baldness.

A clear indication that a male will lose his hair, is when the hair starts to bald in a pattern. It usually starts at the hairline and progresses into a horseshoe-shaped fringe.

For women the hair usually thins in the crown area, the middle of the head and moves to other parts of the head, it is unlikely for the entire head to become bald.

So how does one completely go bald? When the Terminal hair starts to miniaturize into Vellus hair until it completely falls out.

Androgenic Alopecia is linked to genetics, hormonal changes, and age.

ALOPECIA AREATA

This is a skin disease. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, an estimated 5 million people in the United States suffer from this autoimmune disorder.

It causes affected hair follicles to be mistakenly attacked by the immune system. With this condition, the white blood cells stop the hair growth in the Anagen stage of the hair growth cycle.

This medical condition results in total hair loss on the scalp known as Alopecia Totalis or complete hair loss on the body, known as Alopecia Universalis.

Alopecia Areata usually begins in childhood and affects both males and females.

Deciding to go on a long natural hair growth journey sounds exciting at first because most people think it’s easy, just follow the directions one time and your hair should grow from collar bone to waist length overnight.


Right? Does this sound familiar?

The problem with that thinking is that if you want to grow your hair long, it takes serious commitment.

Often one person will see another with long hair and think the hair growth process was easy for them, when in fact, it was not.

That is why there are people with long hair and people who struggle to grow their hair.

There are a ton of resources to help with growing afro hair, but they don’t always work for everyone.

So today, I want to share four ugly truths that people with long hair will not often share with you.

Before we get started, if you are not on a hair growth commitment journey, now is the best time to start. You can do so by checking out the image below.

1. LONG NATURAL HAIR TRUTH: MOST PEOPLE DON’T LIKE COMMITMENT

I hate to say this but being on a natural hair growth journey takes hard commitment. Most people think it’s a one-time task, do this process and never touch your hair again.

Being on a hair journey is almost like a full-time job. You have to work at it every day.

There needs to be a plan in place on what you are going to do daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

Keeping a journal helps. It is good to set goals in a journal  to make them stick.

Set goals that are achievable.

The people with long natural hair at some point were committed to one thing and it was getting to a certain length.

However, what they will never tell you is how they lived and breathe the hair growth process. They were obsessed with the idea.

They strategized day and night to ensure that their hair was growing.

It was their life goal, and although it may not seem like it now, trust me they had their struggle days.

2. LONG NATURAL HAIR TRUTH: NOT KNOWING YOUR HAIR TYPE

First, to treat something you must know what you are treating.

If the person with long hair which you have made your hair ‘god’ has 3b hair, and they talk about what they did to grow their hair but you have 4c hair, there is a problem. 

There is no way what they are doing will work for you.

In fact, when they grew their hair they didn’t just copy someone with long hair, they identified their hair type and adjusted their regimen over time.

The only way to know what your hair type desires is to have the proper knowledge of different treatments that are proven to work on all hair types, and not just on one particular hair type.

3. LONG NATURAL HAIR TRUTH: NOT TARGETING THE RIGHT HAIR PROBLEM

The third truth is that most people have several common hair problem going one at the same time, it can be split ends, dryness, breakage, or hair fall.

However, most are not able to identify one for another due to lack of knowledge.

Increasing your knowledge and knowing your hair is the best way to grow your hair healthy and long.

The people with long natural hair will never tell you that they once struggled with split ends or hair shedding because they want you to believe that they just arrived at long hair with no problems.

That’s not the truth, and even now with having long hair they still experience some of the most common hair problems, but what they have mastered is how to cater to each one.

As you start your hair growth journey, choose to solve one hair problem at a time and treat the most severe hair problem first.

Once you tackle the toughness hair problem, then the other ones will become easier to tackle, and you will gain the confidence and momentum you need to grow your hair at a faster rate.

There are many different types of shampoos in the market, each serving a different purpose for your hair.

The shampoo choice you make is probably one of the most important decisions you will make regarding the cleansing and care of your hair.

Today we are sharing details on eight different types of shampoos.

Of course, there are more shampoos other than of the ones listed below but, I thought these were the most important ones to highlight for your hair care and growth journey.

MOST SUITABLE SHAMPOO

CONDITIONING SHAMPOO

A conditioning shampoo is a sophisticated hair care product whose formula has a perfect balance of chemicals and natural ingredients like green almonds and henna.

Experts make this shampoo using cleansing agents, preservatives, perfume, and conditioning agents.

It serves as a shampoo and a conditioner at the same time. It also cleans and moisturizes the strands and scalp without stripping away the natural sebum.

This shampoo is usually less expensive compared to most treatment shampoos and easy to apply.

PH BALANCED SHAMPOO

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

It would be best if you chose a shampoo with the correct acid balance to maintain the right pH balance in your skin, which in turn, helps the skin and scalp fight bacteria and free radicals from the environment.

pH balanced shampoos are neither acidic nor alkaline.

MEDICATED SHAMPOO

The purpose of this shampoo is to deal with hair and scalp problems like lice and dandruff.

It contains chemicals that can treat scalp disorders that occur due to dandruff and lice in the hair like psoriasis or itching. 

The main chemical composition of medicated shampoo includes tar, selenium sulfide, and zinc omadine.

For effective results, you should leave this shampoo on hair a bit longer than regular shampoos.

COLOR-ENHANCING SHAMPOO

An enhancing shampoo contains gentle deposit-only dyes, which coats the hair; hence, boosting its color temporarily without damaging the strands.

It, therefore, cleanses the hair while leaving it with a temporary wash. It also removes brassiness and stimulates your hair vibrancy.

You may find them in shades of red, blonde, or brunette.

WORST SHAMPOO FOR YOUR HAIR

CLARIFYING SHAMPOO

Experts recommend using clarifying shampoo for deep hair cleaning, only to get rid of dullness or buildup due to styling products in your hair.

This product stands out due to its composition of heavy surfactants like ammonium-sodium lauryl sulfate, chlorides, and acetyl-fatty alcohols, which are much stronger than other cleansers.

However, overusing clarifying shampoos can leave your hair strands dry and dull-looking.

Besides, they may damage the color of color-treated hairs. The  heavy surfactant composition found in clarifying shampoos may worsen scalp disorders like dandruff.

DRY SHAMPOO

It is a powdery shampoo composed of a corn or rice starch, which absorbs sebum, hence reducing greasiness in your hair. Even though dry shampoo makes your hair looks clean, the absorbed oils often remain in the scalp, thus forcing you to cleanse your scalp formally.

Frequent use of dry shampoo will lead to product buildup on the hair, making it look not very interesting.

This buildup can also cause fungal infections on the scalp.

It also contains a chemical Talc, which can cause respiratory problems.

Hair growth is inevitable.

It is part of our DNA, it must happen no matter what.

Whether it happens for you at the normal rate of ½ inch per month, or you choose to accelerate it with your super powers.

Well not so much with super powers, but with some practical steps which I will share with you in this post.

1. SCALP MASSAGES

Utilize scalp messages as a way to stimulate blood flow.

Do this every 2-3 nights, oil scalp and massage for up to five minutes.

2. PROTECT

After doing hair treatments, best to put hair in a protective style and use a satin scarf at night to protect.

3. MOISTURE

Use a moisturizer of choice to apply from the roots to the ends, and use a sealant oil to seal hair strands.

4. WASH

Hair can only grow when it is free of product build up.

Get into the habit of washing hair two to three times per week, and to get another opportunity to stimulate blood flow to scalp by massaging.

5. NO HEAT

This may not be possible every week depending on your lifestyle but limit heat to one to two times per month.

6. EXERCISE

Recommending cardio and weight lifting if health permits.

7. WATER INTAKE

Based on your exercise level, use this calculator to monitor your daily water intake using your weight calculator.

8. EAT CLEAN

Keep a clean and balanced diet.

9. TAKE SUPPLEMENTS

Multivitamins, biotin, vitamin D, & folic acid. Always follow instructions on packaging and seek counsel of health professional.

10. HAIR GROWTH TREATMENTS

And finally, to really accelerate your hair growth, you must incorporate these fast hair growing treatments.

For a long time now natural hair treatments have been available for hair care and hair growth solutions. They have the ability to bring massive amounts of hair growth to your not so growing hair.

There’s one big problem though…

You are not using the right ones and do not know how to properly apply the hair treatments, and most importantly, you do not have a plan.

So you are going about hair growth TOTALLY wrong. And this can cause a lot of frustration. Yes, you may be “trying” different hair growth methods. You went natural, only to go back to a relaxer, you’ve tried a keratin treatment.

You may have even gone to a hair salon and paid $1000+ in hair care services. Yet, you see little results or no difference in the amount of inches, and your hair breaks off yet again.

Wait a flipping minute…

What on earth are YOU missing here?

I know…


Your hair is the second fastest growing tissue in your body after the bone marrow. So it has the potential to grow and to grow long.

If accelerated, hair has the ability to grow up to 12 inches per year, and even if you retained 6-8 inches of those inches after your trims, that’s still major growth. Secondly, hair operates on a hair growth cycle. If you set the cycle on a growing pattern with a plan in place, it will only keep growing.

If you don’t know how the hair growth cycle works, chances are your hair will never grow.

That’s where my eBook, Hair Growth Ninja, comes in.

You have to be caring for your hair properly.  Meaning you have to understand how the hair growth cycle works and how you can take advantage of its inner workings.

When I started my accelerated hair growth journey in 2018, I did a lot of research about hair growth and how I could use the hair growth cycle to my benefit.

I constantly tweaked my strategy in the first month. And, in the first week of the second month, I experienced more than 2 inches of growth.

Here’s a look at the growth progress during that time and to show you how you can get the same results.

And all of it was from my hair growth regimen which is found inside of Hair Growth Ninja.

This didn’t happen by a stroke of luck, or by what most people would say,  “it’s genetics, long hair runs in your family.” 

Actually, long hair does not run in my family. It was a pre-planned strategy.

This strategy went on to help retain over 8 inches of hair in just 9 months!

Now trust me.

I know there are many hair gurus, blogs, and eBooks out there, many of which cover this same topic. I am not going to try to tell you that the hair growth strategies found in my eBook are better than another for XYZ reason. There’s no need for an intense sales pitch here.

I am providing you with my accelerated hair growth secrets to help you care for and grow your hair fast like I did.

My proven hair growth methods are helping many women who once found themselves in your shoes.

Long hair, don’t care? Or more like… long hair, please share? If you’ve had your mind on growing out a beautiful Rapunzel-meets-Princess-Jasmine-mane, you’ve come to the right place. To grow your hair faster whilst being healthy, long, and thick can be a struggle. Sometimes it takes months, other times it can take YEARS to achieve your goal length. And.. let’s be real, who really wants to wait a few years before getting those locks you desire? Before you give up on the natural-long-hair dream, and opt-in to extensions – give some of these hacks a try. Everything from must-use oils, to hair clip secrets, we’ve compiled 5 of the best hair hacks when it comes to growing healthy, thick, and long hair – fast!

1. STOP USING HEAT

You’ve heard it once and I’ll say it again. Rule number one to grow hair faster: stop using excess heat on your hair. If using heat styling tools on the daily is second nature to you, it’s time to take a break. We’re saying boy bye to blow-dryers, straighteners, and curlers on the daily. Sounds nearly IMPOSSIBLE for anyone that uses heat on the regular, right? Sorry to break it to you sister, but using heat everyday on your hair is a big no-no when it comes to your hair health. Heat damages your hair, dries it out, and causes breakage.

2. LAY OFF ON THE HAIR DYE

As much as you want to lighten up your locks for that cute balayage look this summer, the next step to grow hair faster is to lay off the bleach. Especially for the girls looking to go lighter, bleaching is a surefire way to damage your hair. If you’re looking to lighten – be sure to do it gradually in steps, with the right hair colourist. Any stylist that’s willing to take you from jet black hair to bleach blonde in one session is one that you want to avoid. It takes time to lighten up, and it’s important to take good care of your locks throughout the process.

BUT, if you want to grow hair fast and get that desired length as quick as you can, you have a way better chance of eliminating breakage and thinning hair by avoiding hair dye all together. Give your hair a break from the colour and let it replenish itself naturally. The less you bother your hair, the more likely it is to maintain its shine and glow.

3. START USING HAIR OILS – ASAP!

Oils are a great way to replenish, moisturize, and strengthen your hair. But the key here is to use 100% natural oils – NOT serums and “oil blends” mixed with chemicals that you buy at the drugstore. Coconut oil, castor oil, argan oil, and jojoba oil are all AMAZING for hair growth and health. After you shower, simply mix a blend  of all 4 of the oils and massage onto your hair (starting at the ends) while damp. Be sure not to overuse – a little goes a long way!

4. HAIR TIE-OFF, HAIR CLIP ON

A simple trick that a lot of gals don’t know: replace your hair ties with a hair clip instead. Tying your hair tightly on a consistent basis can pull the hair on your scalp. Tying it tightly in the same area on the regular can actually cause your hair to fray in the same spot. Change up the way you tie your hair by braiding it, twisting it, putting it in a bun, etc. – and secure it with a clip.

5. TAKE LONGER BREAKS BETWEEN WASHING TO GROW HAIR FASTER

K gross, we know! As nice as it is to have clean, fresh hair, every single day – if you’re looking to grow hair  faster – don’t wash it everyday. When you wash your hair with shampoo, you’re removing natural oils (otherwise known as sebum) that help keep your locks moisturized. Over-shampooing can dry out your hair, leading to breakage. How often you should wash your hair depends on a few factors. If your hair is generally more thin, or you’re doing a heavy workout – you may need to wash it everyday. BUT, try to at least up that interval to every other day. If you’ve got thicker, less oily hair, you can likely avoid a full hair wash for a few days.
