Once a week is good but it won’t hurt if you increase it as well!

this is great! I feel embarrassed to ask this but you're one of the most active and most qualified to answer this. Could you show us how to properly was our hair especially if we have medium density kinky 4c hair? I know its basic, but I honestly feel this will really help

Sure thing) no such thing! What a great video suggestion! Do you typically wash your hair in the shower or in the kitchen sink?

This is helpful. Thank you for giving us this information I have learned from Green Beauty to leave the roots puffy and then twist. I have tried that method and I have to say my scalp has not been inflamed.

I have been doing treatments since my diagnosis in May my hair has grown and strengthened now I’m looking to get micro locs what is your opinion on this with having ccca and undergoing treatments

[@katrinachandler9700]

Thank you for the video. What are your thoughts on crochet braids.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Crochet braids are my favorite of all braid services because your natural hair is cornrowed so it doesn’t place as much tension on the scalp; you can still access your for cleansing and treating.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

I’m gonna do a part 3 to this video (because I did part 2 already) and discuss styles with weave for CCCA

[@diamondreine99]

Could I ask where you got this wig at the end of the video. It

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Thank you! It’s from Her Given Hair. It’s the Coily Headband wig. HOWEVER - I trimmed it some and I two strand twisted it (about 10 big twist) for this look. Been having this wig for years … about to post my video tomorrow with it on! 😝

Should you cut your hair in to a TWA? Would that help it grow back if caught in an early stage? I have sisterlocks and am being treated to bring down inflammation, as well as changing my diet to anti-inflammation. But I’m terrified to get them retightened because the last time I did my scalp hurt for days, even though she was light handed and didn’t even retightening them to the root. I’m thinning to the point that of have to wear scarfs or a wig at first but the doctor said she can still see follicles. Would cutting it really short, like men have theirs, help in helping the scalp without hair manipulation?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Kami! So sorry you are going through this, as I know its tough. Seems like your inflammation is active, so mild tension can be major on your scalp. I am going to post the 2nd part to this video in a few days, and will discuss some styles, but a low cut would certainly allow you to properly cleanse, treat and apply product to your scalp so its a great hair style choice. I would also minimize the retwisting or go as long as you can without retwisting if possible, primarily until you get it under control. And if the doctor said you stil have active folliicles, then let's save them!!!!

[@7982TJ]

Thank you so much for replying to my comment!!!!! I was thinking the same thing as far as applying product and medication to my hair. Again I really appreciate it 🤗

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

@@7982TJ You are very welcome!!

[@tinalove8197]

We need more info on this. Twists don't make hair fallout. My hair thrives with it and Ive seen It may be the products she using irritating bher scalp, she may be NOT WASHING ENOUGH. Also she may be braiding it too tight. You can wash your hair with twists. I wonder if she waiting until the end of the 6 weeks to wash it

[@DesireeBrown-sc1ow]

I believe I have CCCA. I will be going to a dermatologist this week ! But I have a question am I able to wear wigs if I don’t want to get mini twist or tension hair styles anymore ?

[@yeminyabland]

Go to a trichologist also I did the same thing the dermatologist left me to believe I was pretty much screwed but after researching and finding a local trichologist I started treatment and my hair has grown back because I caught it in good timing I still have small areas that are thinner but no where near as bad

[@DesireeBrown-sc1ow]

@@yeminyabland okay thank you !!

[@msjones5523]

​@yeminyabland what did you get to help?

[@greene_te]

I love doing twist on my hair, but I realized smaller twist, not even mini twists, on me takes 6 hours or more for some reason lol. I now opt to do large chunky twists. I like the way they look better on me and at most, they’ll take 2 hours. But they can last for up to a month and I can still wash them with the twists in. A few adds to doing larger twists, you can start with a “loose” braid, or if you start with twists, you can start them off very loose as well. For washing them, you can wash the twists in large braids or loose, however after washing, put in whatever moisturizer, and tie them down with a satin scarf to reduce frizz. Love the videos ❤. Thanks so much for sharing 🤩. Subscribing now !!!

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

This is such a good recommendation! Thank you for taking the time to write it! Will pin it it t the top of my page so others will see it. 💜

[@ritab5620]

What is the approximate size of the bigger twist? Some of the challenges are the crown and hairline areas where the hair may be shorter, uneven and thinner.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Rita! The size of the twists certainly going to be smaller and shorter in the areas that are thinner. The size is at least an inch at the base (not even sure if that makes sense! Lol) I guess the goal is stay away from twists are super small or “mini” like in the video. But again I know the areas of thinning will be smaller.

[@BeeChance]

@KarenofCurlHouse I was going to ask a similar question about getting locs that are twisted or coiled. I hate to admit that I am lazy when it comes to washing my hair and thought twisted locs would help with styling and I can wash and go more often since I have CCCA.

[@presiousunderwood9034]

Where are you located

[@arnettagreer6024]

Mrs. Karen I have watched your video about certain styles that we are suffering from this condition should not wear, so what can I wear that will be less or no tension at all because wigs rub my edges out, so I had to stop wearing them I want some information on can I wear added hair such as crochets are braids something like that are should I refrain from this too? Please help me because I am desperate about what to wear because my scalp itch and bother me with certain hair styles, because my edges and hairline is gone and I have bald thin areas, so it’s embarrassing and I cannot wear my natural hair either because of those reasons again, please help me…

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Arnetta! First of all, I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle with hair loss. I will post a part 2 video about more styles but those styles do not include weave. After reviewing your comment, I will create a part 3 that includes styles with weaves - and crochet braids will be a good option particularly if the inflammation is under control. Crochet braids possibly with a net added over the thinning areas (a hairstylist would know this) will help to minimize the tension directly to your scalp. You can also apply any topicals treatment to your scalp with crochet braids. Are you seeking treatment for your condition?

[@arnettagreer6024]

@@KarenofCurlHouse Yes, Ma’am I now have a laser hat to use for hair loss, I wash, conditioner, deep conditioner my hair once a week, and I also do Derma Rolling as well to try to help with the progress…

[@indiacairo697]

Can I dye my hair if I’m being treated for CCCA? Can I do a silk press? And how about being under a dryer for deep conditioning? Thank you!

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi India! I would stay away from dye if you have CCCA. You don;t want to put any chemical near your scalp. You can do a silk press -- but make sure that flat iron doesn't touch the scalp ! You can also do deep conditioning, but make sure the heat on the hood dryer is low (or medium) -- not super hot. Heres a video on a blow out kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWnbg4SVbrRnkK8

They say as we get older and older hair gets a little thinner and a little thinner. But I beg to differ with you I know you're giving your scalp plenty of circulation with massages good healing herbs high quality conditioners and lots of TLC because your hair is getting thicker and thicker Queen

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Kanika! Thank you so much! I 'think' this in response to the video I posted on my hair growth in 90 days???? But yes, you are correct, but the difference is I have always taken care of my hair properly, but over the last 90 days it started growing like wildfire and the only thing that changed was my exercise routine. 🤷🏾‍♀️. I couldn't put my finger on anything else LOL

[@goldilocksfh7744]

After decades of recently thinning locs I cut them off, had my hair shaved to grow in even, nope! My dermatologist diagnosed me w/CCCA-scarring alopecia-no itching at all, just very thin on top. Losing hope other than to stop using natural curling lotion. Just want it to look good😢.

[@ThatsMeDoctorD]

I’m sorry to hear this and can relate to the horror of alopecia.🙏🏾 Have you seen a trichologist?

[@goldilocksfh7744]

No, I’ve never heard of that type of specialist. Now I’m told after a 2nd biopsy that it’s androgenic alopecia 😮

[@heatherkilat8763]

I'm not even halfway through the first video, and you are talking about me! My scalp, specifically. I cannot afford a dermatologist; I'm an educator but I have no benefits, and I've put substitute teaching on the back burner to be a caregiver for my mother, a very talented pianist. What can I do? I can't even afford your products. Do you have any advice for me? My inflammation is always in the same place, just above the tips of my ears. I had freeform dreads for 13 years, but had to cut them last month when I saw two balding places.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Heather! Please send me an email to [e-mail]

[@angelledford2746]

Hi, is knotless box braids okay with CCCA?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Angel! If the CCCA is stabilized (no longer spreading) knotless braids are ok. I wouldn't do them too long either as they may be heavy and you don't want tension on the follicles. Knotless braids are good because they do keep synthetic hair away from the scalp and sometimes the chemicals in synthetic hair can irritate the scalp . Ok. Hope this helps!

[@angelledford2746]

@KarenofCurlHouse okay! Thks soo much. Very helpful

What are your thoughts on Sisterlocks?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello Ann! Generally speaking, SLs are fine. I actually had them about 4 years ago. It is so incredibly important that you find a certified locitian who doesn’t re-tighten then too frequently or too tight! I’ve seen so many women loose their hair due to this. Are you considering it

[@Lucky-uz6jk]

What if we don’t have enough hair for the bigger twist

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Lucy! Then you can go smaller for your hair density, but say away 'mini' twists! LOL! You may have to gather hair on larger sections of you head to make the twists bigger in thinning area.

Hello there! Richmond Va

[@yadiraalbornoz3046]

Does it happen because of chemicals?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Yadira! That's the general conclusion -- that its due to chemicals, relaxers specifically, also tight hair styles that create inflammation around the follicles, but recent research suggests that it may be a genetic component as well.
