Great video ❤I have a question. I saw your answer on another video. Hair loss in the crown area could be unmanaged stress or fungus (with itching), etc. What is best to get rid of fungus? Thank you so much.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey There! You can use anti-fungal shampoos, and oils with anti fungal properties such as tea tree is the one most widely use. Also lavender, lemongrass and oregano help as well. Also try apple cider vinegar rinses on the scalp particularly in the crown area. If you are looking for a product to help, the Curl House shampoo and growth drops will do the job as well. Also, stress reduction is key! Hair cortisol levels have a direct correlation with your hair follicles that may trigger scalp issues.

Hi Karen, I twist my hair every night before going to bed. I moisturize 3 times per week then twist, cover, then go to bed. I should not twist my hair every night?? Thanks

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey there! Chunky twists are fine because it helps to stretch your hair and set it for bed. But you can TRY just wrapping and covering it up before bed and see if you get the same results in terms of the style. So twist it on the days you apply the moisturizer, and just cover it on the days you don’t. Well TRY IT! But generally speaking - big chunky twists is far less manipulation than the small twists I did 😂

[@lynellb]

Hey Ms. Karen! So a question popped up b4 the end of the video: a raised cuticle is different from high porosity hair? The raised cuticle is what makes it high, right? Two questions, sorry, lol

[@CurlTrek]

Hair is high porosity when it has a raised cuticle. Typically in most healthy hair, the cuticles lay more flat, but if you have damage, bleach, etc, the cuticles will be raised and your hair is now high porosity. Sometimes they are raised naturally without damage. My hair is high porosity because I used bleach to give it highlights, so I alternate my treatments. For every two deep conditioning treatments I do, I will do one protein treatment to make sure the hair gets what it needs.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Right on! 🙌🏾

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Yes! This is correct Lynell! Raised is also high porosity. This video may help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIC5l5uNhpt4bsk

[@tarawilliams6956]

I have enjoyed your KZbin channel and loved all the information I have received. I have recently found out I have alopecia. My hair loss began when I was caring for my 92 year old mother who had Alzheimer. She passed two years ago but while caring for her I was giving myself a perm and she wake up and got out the bed trying to go downstairs. After I managed to get her back to sleep I too the perm out and my hair came out with it. Now I have done everything I know to get it to grow back but I still have a big spot in the back of my head that hair begans to grow then falls out. Please help!!!!! I need advice.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Tara! So sorry to hear about your traumatic experience. You mentioned that the hair grows but it falls out? If this is correct then that's an indication that some (or all) of your hair follicles are still active. Does that area itch? Feel tender? You mentioned you've done 'everything' - can you send me a few things you've done please?

[@tarawilliams6956]

@@KarenofCurlHouse I feel like I have tried everything. Yes it starts to grow but never more than 1/2 a inch before it falls out again, I went to a Dermatologist who prescribed me Fluocinonide 0.05% and Tacrolimus Ointment 0.1% it stop the itching but that was it. I changed shampoo and conditioners, took hair growth vitamins, now I am just wearing wigs which I have never done and I hate. I have really enjoyed your videos so I decided to reach out. Thanks for replying!

[@lynellb]

Another question: are you suggesting we do all this in one wash day? 🤔 Clarify shampoo, moisture shampoo, acv rinse then protein lastly moisture treatment?

[@CurlTrek]

I dont know what she would recommend for all of those things, but I wouldn't do a protein treatment and moisture deep conditioning treatment on the same day. I'd do protein maybe once a month, deep condition the other times, assuming you wash once a week. Adjust it as needed for how your hair responds.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Yes CurlTrek! That summarized that perfectly!

[@lynellb]

Ok, thank you both. I had in mind to do an aphogee treatment, with the balancing moisturizer once a month. Thank you.

[@CurlTrek]

@@lynellb just be careful with using that aphogee as frequently as once a month. That protein treatment is STRONG. Like the strongest protein treatment I've found out there. I used to use that and I got protein overload after like 3 months and my hair was like straw. Use at your own caution, and maybe find a protein treatment that isn't quite so intense just to be safe.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello there. Let me gain clarity. Your 3 year daughter has alopecia. Did you say in its in temple area - or hairline? Please clarify. Also, has she been diagnosed any particular type of alopecia so you can rule out internal imbalances that may be causing it?

[@luwanabennett1054]

Sorry Karen, one more question! Lol. When your hair supplies are limited, is it all right to mix product brands? For example, should you just use Design Essentials Shampoo along with the same brand of deep conditioner leave-in conditioner as well, or can you use another brand of conditioner afterwards?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Luwana! I think I answered this question already -- but yes, you can absolutely mix hair products! Most products are designed to work together but you can mix and match and much at you like. Your hair will tell you if it likes a certain combination!

[@yvonnelane4735]

We have extremely hard water here in Long Beach, Ca. I usually wash my hair once per week and use a hardwater shampoo once or twice a month. What are the benefits of the ACV rinse in general?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

ACV is a natural clarifier (or cleanser), so it will help to strip unwanted buildup off the hair. It is naturally acidic so it will also balance the ph of your scalp/hair and has a host of benefits for the scalp health as well (reduces inflammation, itchiness, etc)

@@KarenofCurlHouse Thank you. I am so glad I found your youtube chanel. My hair is fairly healthy, but I suffered the after-effects of a type of infusion therapy for glaucoma, including hair shedding usually associated with chemo therapy. It's taken several months for the shedding to subside, now I'm hoping that my hair will respond to my efforts to help it along. Your advice has been invaluable. It validated some of the things that I have done for years (sleeping on satin or silk pillow cases) and keeping my hair moisturized. I have been natural more than 20 years. The last time my hair was blown out was about 8 years ago for a trim, since then I get trims from a natural hair stylist who trims my hair in it's natural state.

I might have to learn to wash and condition my own hair like my friends tell me! Lol

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Luwana! I know you told me you recently did a big chop so you should not need a trim anytime soon. When you first do your big chop, particularly if your hair is pretty short (less than 4 inches or so) you can go even longer before getting a trim maybe up to 6 months. If your stylist cut it even more, you may have been 'evening' it up if it wasn't cut even in the first place 🤷🏾‍♀️. Did you look even look to you?
