I enjoyed your video. My condolences to you. I'm going to watch more. I'm 4 year locked Oct of 24 and I have alopecia too. I've not been seeing anyone. You've encouraged me to do so.

Hey! Nice outfit Crista.

My condolences🩷. Thanks so much for sharing your journey during this season of your life!🙏🏾 The neat thing about sisterlocs is that it enables one to actually see the growth that was always occurring. Unless we are extremely ill, our hair is in a constant state of growth; the real issue prior to sisterlocking is breakage at the ends that occurs more rapidly than growth from the scalp. Sisterlocking enables the hair to retain its 1/4 to 1/2 inch length that it naturally achieves monthly. With sisterlocs, there is limited chance of hair loss at the ends due to breakage or over-manipulation. Another point to be aware of is the weight of the hair. The weight is caused by the retention of shed hair. With sisterlocs, it is impossible to remove the 80 to 100 strands of hair that sheds daily. With that being said, the shed hair adds volume which looks awesome but the weight can lead to traction alopecia. This is where one must be mindful and pay attention to the weight as the locs grow. As the hair gets heavier it may be best to wear updos more often than allowing the hair to hang down. By wearing updos, there is a less likely chance of the margins or edges to break and a less likely chance of losing individual locs. The crown of the scalp can be volatile because, unlike hair growth around the sides and at the back, hair on the crown of the scalp has hormone receptors at the root. Therefore, as our hormones fluctuate and female hormones decrease, male hormones become more dominant, resulting in thinning at the crown of the scalp.

Knotted locs with Melissa Blake seems to help w the loss of hair bc of sister locs

I loved your energy on this one! I laughed so much when you mentioned the flower and having the bag on public transportation 😂😂

I love the glasses ❤. Its been awhile, Im happy to see you. You're hair is lovely 😍

Your locs are gorgeous!

W😮W absolutely beautiful!!!

Great to see you back ❤️

Great haul! We shop similarly because I don't shop every week either! I'm already thinking about autumn fashion. Looking forward to more videos!

You resemble Dawn Staley. Great content! Keep it up

Is a 4point rotation install 3 point or 2 point rotation install?

What was the name of your taylor

Elegant as always 👸🏽

My four year sisterlock anniversary is coming up Oct30-Oct31 2024. I must say me getting sisterlocks was the best decision that i have made. Im 54 and i get hot flashes. I have tried EVERY hairstyle, I even had the traditional locks. I wanted sisterlocks because i can wear my hair in styles without restrictions. Grreat video and your hair grows fast.. ❤

@ *Niceshopx* Every time I see this bag I can't help but stop here.

Hooded dryer makes sense to me. If I had one, I'd use it. Seeing as I don't own a hooded dryer, I just use a handheld dryer with a diffuser. Thank you for this video. I just learned that I've been washing my hair wrong for a year🙄

Pray your in a better mental space now. ❤Your hair is beautiful I'm on my sisterlocks journey since 3/28/24. It's a process I tell you😂😂😂. I would like to thank you for your transparency and motivation speech. My mother in law embarrassed me in front of everyone at a family reunion and said I don't like your hair you should have consulted with me before you got that done to your hair. I said as opposed to what you have weave in yours, this us my GOD given hair. But I really thought my hair was beautiful at least that's what my husband said. Lol then she proceeded to try and touch my hair I backed away so quick and said no you can not touch my hair with your negative hands. Then 3 drinks later when she is inebriated 😂she said oh I'm going to get my hair done just like that for $75. I said sweetheart this is definitely not a $75 hair style but I'm glad you want to emulate this look.😂 You're right the way we wear our hair shouldn't divide us.

A trichologist may have more information for you being that they specialize in hair loss sis. I just sent my mother to one and she was able to give her a lot of great information about the same thing.

Hi Christa!! I really LOVE your trench coat so much!! You ALWAYS look VERY SEXY when you wear it!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💋💋💋💋💋

That's funny you wished you colored your hair prior to install. I did a fresh color (blonde) prior to install against my SL consultants wishes but, I wish I didn't. It would've given that hair to grow color free and be stronger. I have fine thin hair but, with SL it's no longer that way. I'm almost 4 years and had my first trim because my hair was uneven due to the locking process and color from over the years. I still love my color but, all my original color is gone.

My condolences 🙏🏾

absolutely stunning🌹

So beautiful!

My girl., friend said that to me, I pour my heart you laugh ❤it's a nervous tick

The “girl, shut up and sit down” had me dying! 😂❤

HI, new subscriber here. I love your locks. I recently had my Sisterlocks established on 6/28/24 and so far I am enjoying the journey. How many locks do you have? Thanks for sharing. Peace!

Oh my goodness!!! This story is too funny!! 😂

Thanks for your transparency. Your SLs are beautiful. I had micro braid locks installed (because I didn’t know the difference between SL and ML) in 2017 but cut them off in 2022 because my crown was thinning and I panicked. I miss them so much. I’ve been taking Nutroful supplements that cost $80 something per month. If I see a significant difference after 6 months I’ll consider sisterlocks. I’ve seen a number of SL women posting about their challenges with alopecia but I can’t see any thinning because the locks are so full and beautiful. Thx again. Take care of yourself!

Thank you

Love your hair Crista! Very interesting point you make about not traveling with your hair down! I feel like I’ll be the same way as my locs get longer. I hear the coils falling out are normal! Just normal wear and tear on the ends of your hair.

Beautiful!!! Love your eye makeup 🔥

I’m six months loc’d July 3rd! I want your length NOW!!

If it is androgenic, could you try spironolactone, finasteride, spearmint or saw palmetto?

My condolences to you Crista

I also have 4 C hair its fine

I am 2 years locked and canit wait to be 4 years. My hair is now filling out and growing

Cridta your hair looks amazing

Just looked up price ... Pass.

I wanna congratulate you on how great you look with that coach bag, It's screaming elegance, functionality, and good tastes! For the price of a card holder in most of those ridiculous luxury brands, coach gives u the whole lot. In 2024, coach keeps getting better and better, but still manage at a reasonable price point, whats not to love about it?!

Congratulations Queen

Beautiful hair❤

October 31 is my birthday 🎉🎉. And I had locks. I don't have them 😭 any more. Now I'm really thinking 🤔 about sister locks. And your video is convincing me MORE 😁😍

I love how your hair always seems voluminous but not pin straight.

You are my hair goals!!!!!!❤❤❤

Hey QUEEN Crista, question. You mentioned you went to a dermatologist, did you got to an African American? My loctician recommended I go for my thinning crown. I'm wondering if it matters. Anyone else go to a dermatologist, if so please give me your thoughts.

BEAUTIFUL!!!❤ 🔥

WOW THAT BEAUTY 😮😍🤩🥰
