First time here. Give it 3-6 months sis and it will bounce back with some TLC and patience during protective style takedown.

[@WaldiaBynes]

I definitely need to be more patient during protective style takedowns. Thank youuuuu! I plan on stepping up my regimen.

[@teesulli833]

@@WaldiaBynes we all do. I am so tired of seeing my hard work and progress end up in the trash I am starting a new 2 step process for my protective style takedowns. Day1 - focus on takedown, cowash with conditioner only for detangling in small sections. No shampoo whatsoever. Then 2-3 days later - focus on entire wash day routine starting with shampooing, etc, etc.

[@WaldiaBynes]

I just screenshot this comment because I will definitely share in my next video. This suggestion is very helpful and I think this will work for me. Wow thank you so much for this. I always try to cram everything in one day smh.

This is what I am dealing with. I have been doing protective styling and my hair is so dry. I am going to continue on with the protective styling until it's warmer.

[@ninashaven]

Give your hair breaks between protective styles: sometimes the can put tension on our crown.

[@alvetaanderson9440]

You asked for advice: I would urge you to go to a stylist to trim your hair. The stylist would give you an outside, independent assessment of your hair's condition, trim it thoroughly, and that's what you need. Secondly, I would reduce the protective styling. Thirdly I would carefully watch my diet and cook my own meals (you probably do this already) and move away from the vegetable and canola oils.

[@jmalbertus6752]

I feel you big time. Used to have thick full 4c hair... then I got tired so I did a taperred cut (shave!!)... Many dyes, childbirth, braids, no QT and TLC for my hair years further...its a hot mess...I look at old pictures and just feel sad. Thinking about a 3th big chop, finding a good routine and actually trying to stick to it brought me here.

[@vastya.3255]

This happened to my hair, I now strongly believe it’s due to me protective styling. My hair used to flourish when I just wore it out. I hate to see my protective styles go but they really caused my hair to thin and break cuz my hair would be dry and my scalp would hurt so now I’m trying to find a way to style my now neck length 4c hair (I cut it several times cuz I didn’t understand why it was growing in thin, I fixed my supplement intake and proper breathing!) , now I will massage every other day to relieve tension and in the weekends my head will be free, I have to think of a style for throughout the week that suits me

[@vastya.3255]

Trimming is indeed step one but I’m done trimming now, I used to overtrim, so now it’s low tension, low manipulation + occasional trims and wash every 2 weeks , I used to underwash and it just contributes to the soreness of my scalp

[@reallyme02]

I'm dealing with breakage as well. Thank you for sharing!!

[@PhaMa1002]

I’m going through the same thing. Had a protective style in my hair for months and just took it out. It’s so thin and damaged now. Now I have to go on a 6 month repair. I cut my ends, but I might go get a professional trim done and go from there.

[@mizkarib]

same sis. I just came from a salon, cut my damaged hair and did a wash and go. its time to take the health of our hair seriously..

[@CarolPettaway-f1b]

We do too much to our hair, try too many products . Too much protein is not good for our hair. The main thing to do is just keep it clean, use a wide tooth comb, and be gentle with our hair. Show it some love ❤️ and it will show us love in return.❤❤

[@deidredawson6685]

Thanks girl for sharing, I did the same thing with crochet braids I cut a whole braid out🤦🏾‍♀️ so disappointed in myself but I’m going to grow it back. I do not plan on cutting any of it at all. I’m going to just grow it out. Many blessings to you on your journey

[@denisecarter2150]

I am so happy to see your back sis I have missed your tutorials!! I think you should go to a professional just for peace of mind that it's cut evenly. Your hair is definitely thick and has grown once the ends are clipped it will be fine.

[@WaldiaBynes]

Hey heyyy thank you so much! I did see a professional this past weekend and will upload a video on my experience soon. 🙏🏾

[@ocky88]

Tbh, the broken spots do not look like you accidentally cut it. It would be more blunt. That is from ongoing damage. I'd let a professional cut the troubled spots because trying to style damaged hair is a pain in the butt. I just took off 2-3 inches from my hair because I was being stubborn and delayed my trim too long.

[@shaylanewlife]

My hair was damaged 2 years ago I cut it bald headed. Now my hair is growing. I use olive oil and rosemary oil I wash my hair with water only. Then go in with my oils, shampoo, conditioners I barely use them.

[@Ilovemesomemj1]

Lol, when you can't sleep and you look through KZbin videos and hear a familiar voice. Welcome back

[@WaldiaBynes]

Hey hey hey thank youuuuu sis 😘🙏🏾

[@erikamontgomery9004]

I have worn locs for the past 4-5 months as well and had this same problem I only cut my hair once but the thinning through our my hair is weird it makes it looks like I have heat damage and I don’t... My twistouts were looking terrible. So of course I cut it but I feel like I need to cut more off cause I still have some straggly looking ends but won’t worry about it now since I’m getting color I’ll have fun for a bit and go back to being healthy later. I wouldn’t be in this boat if it wasn’t for the locs I’m still puzzled on why my hair reacted like this to them.

[@WaldiaBynes]

Very interesting omg! The locs are one of my favorite styles to install smh. I really hope it doesn’t happen again when I install them later on.

[@arielalexis3139]

I’m personally convinced my hair hates me. I’ve gotten another bald patch it’s so irritating

Happy New Year. I'm so glad that you're back. Design Essential line did nothing for my 4C hair. Maybe you can do bigger twists and Bantu knots. I learned the hard way. Protective styles are cute, but they do tend to make you lazy about the health of your own hair. You'll figure it out. I hope that you and your family are doing well.

[@WaldiaBynes]

Heyyyyyyyy how are you? Thank you! I will do a better job while protective styling lol 🙏🏾

[@cierrahp9702]

Peppermint does provide a cooling, tingly effect on the skin.

[@EloquentlyEse]

Have you thought of trying Olaplex? It's on the pricey side, but it'll definitely get your hair in better shape! Maybe only get No 3 and the leave-in (use that before sealing with grease). Best of luck 🥰

[@WaldiaBynes]

Omg someone else also suggested Olaplex! Thanks sis I will def look into this 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@PreppyFay12]

I just used Olaplex No. 0 and No. 3 together and my hair is definitely stronger and breaks off less with gentle hair practices but I think a shape up would also be good when you’re ready. Also personally after using Olaplex, and being, 2 weeks out since the treatment, I feel like I wouldn’t then use rice water or another strengthening treatment I think it would be too much and dry the hair out. Olaplex will definitely strengthen but I think a good trim and cut(shape up) would help the hair to have more evenness and volume.

[@cindychristian1700]

@@favorednatha226 It's a rubber comb attachment by Willie Morrow, the great inventor of the afro pick! My blow dryer is 1800 watt by Conair but it fits on any blow dryer with a long nozzle because it has a clamp that adjusts to the size of the nozzle! It's been out since the eighties! I got mine's from Amazon years ago! It's still about $20! It's better because it's so strong that the teeth don't brake! I also used duck or gorrilla tape because it's over 15 years old, it's time for a new one, lol, and I didn't have the right detangling products for my 4c , with very crazy shrinkage hair, and it would pop off sometimes but now I'm using Curl Peace line that contains marshmallow root and I don't have tangles like that anymore! It's great line of products! PS When I get my new blow dryer comb I won't need the tape because it worked fine for over ten years by itself!

I did not take care for my hair for almost 2 years(did not cut my ends,did not even know what a conditioner is...).So my hair is pretty much damaged right now.Even though I have long hair now,the lenght of almost 2/5 or even more of my hair is shorter then the half of the normal hair, because I have a lot of breakage.Is there a possibility to save my hair,if I really take care of it, without cutting it?What I was thinking was that I maybe could take care of it and after a certain time the damaged hair will reach the length it was supposed to have.and by always cutting a little bit of ,after a certsin time all my hair will have the same lenght again.Is this realistic?
