I had to share this video by RenieceHairTV because it is so inspiring especially for those of you wondering where the next inch is going to come from. I know that a lot of you ladies tend to prefer the more natural approach to length retention (like twists) but in terms of retention potential, weaves rock too.
Also it goes to show that you can still have long gorgeous healthy hair even if you relax or flat iron* your natural hair occasionally. I have had my share of bad experiences with stylists but Reniece is one of the few that I may one day consider going to if distance wasn’t an issue. Her track record speaks for itself!
Reniece follows the classic features of healthy hair regimens that we have become all to familiar with. Essentially she gets your hair healthy first before starting to work on length. If you take a look at the transformations on her website you will see that some of the relaxed ladies who start out with thin shoulder length relaxed hair may end up shorter at neck length but with such full healthy ends it makes you envious!
Eventually it appears that majority of her clients achieve at least BSL and beyond. You have to imagine that the women with the most success using her methods are the ones who are the most consistent with their at home regimens in between appointments (the stylist can’t do everything).
Reniece does not come cheap (no surprise there then) but I’m sure that you will agree that her proven track record and results show that she’s worth it. Her length retention tool of choice appears to be weaves but it would seem that she also takes on natural hair only clients.
The salon is based in Rockville, MD so if you are lucky enough to live in the vicinity, you should definitely check her out, having said that her appointment book is always full so you may have a wait on your hands before you get to see her!
Here are a couple of articles to help you in your search for a good stylist:
Should you kiss or dismiss your stylist?
Their hair is beautiful! It’s all nice and shiny.
Both are beautiful
Amazing…
Very pretty
Amazing and so beautiful!
Their hair is gorgeous!
Gorgeous
Beautiful. I’ve had to let the kinky curly styles go as well. They were killing my ends. I’ve never had to trim my ends so much. So now I’m a straight hair natural. Gaining length had never been my issue. It became one though after going natural. Go figure.
Beautiful! Our hair is so versatile!!
I have long hsir but it’s very thin what can I do plz help
I’m in Raleigh NC and I need to find a salon that will help get these results…
AlwaysPromoting HealthyHair talk about hair envy!
Do you realize that we have raised 3-4 generations of black females that do not know how to style a real nappy afro?
I have long thick curly hair that I cant do anything with cause if I flat iron it it shrinks as soon as I workout! I’m in Detroit, Michigan and it is hard to find someone that specializes in healthy nature hair and not weave all the time!
No matter what u do, when u wrk out or get natural hair wet, it’s going to revert back. I have the same problem, sista, I know your pain:)
dang Tiara, i want that gloss, lol
I have followed her since 2008. Her tips have helped me and my cousin to grow long and healthy hair over two years. So glad to see your site showcase her.

Beautiful!!!!
This is where I go to take care of my natural hair. I’ve learned so much!! If you can’t get in to see Reniece, than see Breon! She’s fantastic! She does Reniece’s hair!
Please come to some my
I wish that you were closer
Her hair is gorgeous. She has my hair type I now see that being relaxer free is a mindset and healthy hair is really obtainable with stick-to-it-ness.
Wow! Thank you for everything you put up on here, this is teaching my step daughter to look after her beautiful hair x
Working out on a regular basis just means for me that the straightened styles are far and in between for me. I just embrace my kinky curly styles.
Lord Jesus look at these folks hair Dominique Chalmers! We gone be like that one day! Long hair don’t care lol
Ive recently made the decision to go natural so i hope i have similar results.
Kristin Harris yes
I’m client E!!!
I thought that was Mwedzi?
Nothing like forcing European standards of beauty on black women who are already beautiful just the way they are.
I have been trying to grow my hair for the past year an nth work I try everything but no success. Anyone has any suggestions
what is her Facebook page
Not for real I have her hair troubles lol
Avri Jones cant wait to post mine 🙂
Jeniere Bailey look at this…..not bad, reminds me of your stylist….
I know Reniece girlie I also know some of the girls in the pics from longhaircareforum as well.:) Her skills are awesome!
Tamika Bell is an awesome stylist too here’s her YT channel. I think she may have trained under Reniece: http://www.youtube.com/user/dontspeakdefeat/videos
That’s my cousins name….and she has a salon too…too funny…. I will check it out!!
Awesome!
I don’t know my hair type would love to figure it out so I can know how to keep it growing it gets a certain length then starts falling out I would like to go natural and learn how to maintain it’s length also
My hair is 4b-4c and it is always so dry feeling… What can I use??
JOICO moisture therapy works really good. It has a good slip and you hair after using it a few times it feels stronger and healthier. Its expensive, but its sooo worth it
Looks fake
You should watch the video Tissa, the stylist is very talented.
Wth?!
How do you find out your hair type?
Google it.
OH MY. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE POSTED COMMENTS WHEN I DO NOT LIKE SO PLEASE PLEASE NOTE THAT I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEVTHIS. WOW WANT TO LEARN MORE TO GET MY PRINCESS THE LENGTH, SHINE SND MANAGEABILITY.
Looks alil photoshopped
Watch the video.
Smh.
First of all what is a hair type 4b 4c and all that ? There is no such thing ! Next of all I have clients who have hair longer than that who have a relaxer ! So the excessive relaxing by someone who does not know chemistry! Next of all did you show everybody how much hair she lost blow drying? But I guess not.
You can have healthy hair whether you are natural or relaxed ! It depends on the hair type ! Please cut this misinformation out!!!!!
Where is she located?…I am trying to find a salon in the OKC area that specializes in natural hair…
That’s photoshopped.
Guess u didn’t watch the video either.
I’m trying to figure out how is anything chemically altered HEALTHY? That’s like drinking poison and still telling yourself you’re healthy. You may have pretty relaxed hair BUT ITS NOT HEALTHY HAIR! So CUT the misinformation out!
so does that logic goes with chemically altered color? that kills me u can change the color of your hair but have the nerve to frown upon ppl who relax a curl pattern. and i do have healthy relaxed hair. it is possible
the photos’ lighting gives the hair an unreal look but if you watch the video you will see that these ladies have amazing real hair. I wish I could be a client of Reniece!
How is hair type determined? I need to know mine! Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance!
In Puerto Rico most of the stylists can do that. Takes some time if you have very dry hair, but is worth the effort and $.
Does anyone know a Reniece in South Florida who has a start to finish portfolio like this?!?! I would SO consider not locing my hair if I have the right stylist.
@beyonca De La Paz try Liz Muller at Liz hair design studio. She’s on youtube and Facebook and she’s into healthy haircare. https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=332363996917
Sasha at Runway Kinks
Happy to see some relaxed hair…It seems like such a crime now. But don’t get me wrong I love some natural hair too !
Looks good
Look I have never heard of hair having a bra size and being natural is good. I love my hair. Holla
my mom has 4c type hair she would love to have it straightened like that
Wow, knowledge is powerful
Women are so judgemental towards one another, especially black women… grow up, if it’s not for you then it’s not for you…
Thanks smart ass Jamillah Davis

So pretty looking black barbies
My inspiration #TeamNatural
Nice hair I wish have those long hair
How u know its the same girls in the after pics. … it dont show their face
what does it matter? if you watched the video with the stylist combing the hair in parts to show it isn’t weave, why are you doubting? maybe they don’t want their faces on a public forum where people like you are always being judgemental?
@jed please stfu. Black ppl kill me. Just bc she is natural doesn’t mean she has to wear an afro because when my hair is fully natural i sure won’t wear one much.
Seriously…Why are people so ignorant??? She’s not saying that you can’t have healthy relaxed hair. If you watched the videos as well as the rest of her vids on her YouTube channel you would know this. She also has a Fotki page. Please watch and read before you spew negative comments.

I was client G before. I had excess heat and relaxer damage for years and years. Glad I’m natural now.
Lea D. Crucian that was ur hair.
Natural forever and ever..
Queenofweaves Andbraids this what I need
You need to come down to florida, I need some help with my hair please!
Well I guess I’m done with relaxers
Peggy campbell. Your hair grew great without… Having a relaxer requires a weekly maintenance. Conditionings extra.
Yeah we’ll let’s get it going what do i need for weekly maintenance and the relaxer was be cuz I wanted a change an I sweat to much for press so whats the alternative and how come their hair so straight without relaxer I got some hair when you want to do me up
Both look healthy and thick.
#motivation
I hope my hair is looking like that by the end of the year, as December will make my 4 yr mark. I’m almost there now.
Beautiful !!!!
I wish there was a website that will give the best natural stylist for different city/states around the US. It’s hard to find a reputable stylist when you are new to an area.
Sonia, their hair is soooo pretty. I would mind doing that. How can it be done?
Beautiful
Delleon Edgerton
