Indian women have thicker hair strands too!
They don’t usually dye their hair and they condition and oil it every day!

I am south asian but i use what is commonly used in north india wh8ch is mustard oil. It has natural compounds which grow hair and keep it strong. Its really smelly but you keep it on for a few hours and wash it out....we do this quite often. We also never took direct showers from shower heads but filled a bucket and manually poured it all over us. Not only did it save water but also removed direct pressure of shower head on the scalp. My hair was so long and thick people thought it was a wig. But ever since we left those pracrices my hair is half.

Well, it's genetics that plays a major role. The other reason is due to grooming practices with hair oils and other remedies.

Hair length, hair texture, hair thickness, hair color all are genetics. Afterward is caring protection from harsh sun, pollution, timely washed after oiling.

4:32 yep, that's true as an Indian girl, myself. All I do is use almond oil from length-end properly, leave it for an hour. Then, wash it with shampoo and then hair mask follow by conditioner. And repeat it, but I try new products (hair mask, condition or hair oil) to see the difference between washes with my normal routine and with a new one. I does have 30 inches hair length and I am planning to grow around 40-45 inches by the next year.

I’m sorry, but genetics pay a major role.

Yeah it’s definitely genetics because their hair is so smooth and easy to brush from what I can see. You can’t do that with curly hair.

Louisiana Creole with heavy Native American ancestry. I have thick, wavy hair. Always have used oils and only oils on my hair. Three generations (me included) can attest to the difference oiling the hair makes.

Yes it is genetics but not all indian have good indian hair genes including me😢. But lifestyle plays a huge role.

Agree! 100% extra virgin olive oil castile or aleppo soap, acv with ferment rice water rinse, style with oils. Hot oil treatments as well. ❤🇵🇷

Hair is a matter of genetics. My hair is naturally long and full—even though I have a straightening treatment—and the only routine I follow is deep conditioning it once a week. I’ve never used anything to make it grow or to add volume. So, let’s face reality: your hair depends heavily on your genetics.

I myself have long hair and we genuinly follow hair oiling and massage that works wonders❤ and yes genetics also plays a role 😊

The bonnet just fell of in the night. I wore it only one night until now. Maybe I need to make it tighter.

Real audience:South Asians

Actually, as an indian, I can assure you that you dont shampoo your hair afterwards.. You shampoo the hair once a week, hair wash-every day with oil.. And no oil with shampoo thingy!
