MY HAIR LOSS STORY & HOW I GREW IT BACK |HOW TO GROW THICK LONG HAIR & RETAIN LENGTH| LIMITLESSBLOOM

[@cutenobi]

My hair fell out because of protein overload so I have gone a couple of years without protein and my hair was so healthy. Now because of listening to hair videos, I tried protein again and my hair started breaking. Everyone needs to figure out what works best for themselves.

[@LimitlessBloom]

Oh no sorry to hear that. Tbh if your hair is doing ok then it’s fine but the only problem with these things is the damage creeps up on you so you spot it too late. If you ever think of trying protein again maybe start by trying leave in conditioners that contain protein then build up from there to protein treatments. But the protein that I use I don’t think I’ve seen a bad review about it yet. It’s from healthyhairstudios and @greenbeauty has a similar one which I haven’t used myself but seems to have really good reviews. A really good mild protein treatment I love is by @equibotanics but I will make a video sharing more Do you mind sharing how you ended with protein overload? How often were you doing the treatments? Also which protein treatments have you tried?

[@HereDiianas]

Hi ! I am just wondering what products you used and what type of proteins since their are many types used in conditioners. Thanks!

[@marybraswell1553]

You are wise for listening to your hair. Not everyone needs protein treatments. Especially if you have low porosity. Curlier hair means you have more protein in it.

[@preciousokudo]

On the other hand, my hair started falling out terribly, reduced in volume and length all because of lack of protein, it all started when I began listening to these influencers and the SM that protein would break your hair and alladat. My hair should've been down my back by now but I'm still at shoulder length all because I stopped using my rice water every wash day. I'm slowly regaining all the wasted years of hair breakage as I have reintroduced my protein treatment back into my regimen. Never going back.

[@LimitlessBloom]

This is so true. Protein and moisture balance is so important and I think that’s where many are going wrong

[@YummyCandiCollection]

Great video!!! The iron levels or internal health is very important. My crown area suffered the worst when I was parting in 4 sections...I now part in 5 sections giving the crown it's own segment. Breakage and crown soreness stopped 🙌🏾

[@LimitlessBloom]

This is true. I also did it for a little while but wasn’t consistent with it 🙈

[@docfabz]

Very true, thanks for sharing

[@HereDiianas]

I do the same but I use more sections. I realized that different part of my hair needs specific parts. The sides ( 2 sides behind my ears), my crown needs 3 parts, it's my thickest part and it used to always break, now it does not. Then the front and the back does not seem to need any special care but I part them as well

[@jk9084]

So true!

[@قناةلنشرالخير-ص3ل]

Put an egg mask on your hair it makes hair shiny, silky and it give the protein the hair needs. Two eggs with olive oil and a ripped avocado 🥑. Mix everything and apply on hair from roots to ends, leave it for at least an hour then wash with water only. Your hair will be fine and it won't smell. Use a natural shampoo after two days.

[@LimitlessBloom]

Thanks for sharing. I used to do this with avocado but I don’t anymore. I now use hydrolysed protein which gives me better results. I have a few videos talking about this

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

I think hair porosity, density and strand thickness are THE MOST important considerations before using “protein treatments Low porosity, thin strands vs high porosity thick strands for example, require completely different approaches. There’s a strange association between protein treatments (as a one time treatment) and strength when in fact there are ways to use neutral henna every wash day or even everyday! I put all my Ayurvedic herbs in my homemade shampoo bar. This woman is on point. I love all of her tips and how she discusses them.

[@A_Wilson]

Yes! I’ve been using henna masks and Henna hair tea on my high porosity, fine but course strands. So far, I think it’s been very beneficial with making my hair strong.

[@A_Wilson]

Another tip for using henna…if you mix your henna with liquid coffee in a cast iron bowl (and whatever other ingredients you like) and leave it overnight before use, your hair will have a brownish black tint instead of a red one. This way, you can skip the indigo part and save yourself some time.

[@LimitlessBloom]

Oh thank you for this tip. Will try it next washday 😊

[@154angel154]

I feel you on the protein requirements for our hair Sis! I have a rice water mix (protein) that i spray directly on my scalp while in my protective style. I alternate this with my moisture spray throughout the week. I have already redone one or two of my faux locs, and my hair is in optimal condition. My oils and grease have their place throughout the week as well. My butter and grease are my EXTREME sealants to my natural hair within the crochet loc. I do NOT tuck my hair inside the loc when installing. I just wrap the hair around the loc and my natural box braid. My hair stays hydrated and 💪🏾!!!

[@NYLIBERTY4LYFE]

Same only if you need protein some people have coarse thick strands and protein makes their hair too strong. I have low porosity coarse strands I do not use protein treatments. If its low on the list and hydrolyzed then I can use the product. Glad you have success

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yeah I definitely understand that. At least you use protein in small quantities which isn’t bad. It’s when people totally cut it out of their routine that I believe can be quite damaging. Thanks for watching & sharing your experience

[@loisevora2717]

Thank you for covering stress. Stress is the main reason I started losing my hair. I started losing my hair in 2015 and have not been able to recover from the hair loss. I was diagnosed with CCCA and female pattern baldness. I have visible thinning 😢

[@LimitlessBloom]

Awww so sorry to hear this. Stress is literally the worst. Have you tried anything for the thinning?

[@loisevora2717]

@LimitlessBloom Thank you for replying back 🙂. I have tried almost everything. I am using Amla, Neem, and Moringa masks. I am using tea rinses. I just started using Follicle Stimulating Growth Drops from Curl House Hair Restoration. I am also taking Bee Pollen as a supplement for hair growth. I tried onion juice twice, but the smell just was too much 😩.

[@LimitlessBloom]

@@loisevora2717 my pleasure! That’s great. Do you find that Ayurveda herbs help at all? Do you do scalp massages with hair growth oils? Recently started following this Indian lady on here. She’s “home treats with Sara” and she shares a lot of remedies you can try if you haven’t already. I’m planning to incorporate indigo oil in my routine. Heard it’s great for hair growth.

[@loisevora2717]

@LimitlessBloom Thank you 🙂. I will check out her videos. I believe that Amla powder has helped. I also do DIY's with Nettle in it. I think if it was not for the Amla powder and Nettle plus prayer, I would not have any hair on the top of my head.

[@Millah323]

​@@loisevora2717Diet is the ultimate when it comes to hair and overall health... Consume more water, fruit and vegetables daily helps the best with caring for hair... You definitely have to look at what you eating and cut out processed foods (most are full of junk ingredients)... Also, pay attention to what utensils, plates, bowls and deodorants you are using. A lot of ppl suffer from high metal overload from those products and that affects overall health including hair...

[@naturallyrachh]

hm, your hair is not guaranteed to fall out simply because you don't use a protein treatment. Not everyone's hair needs added protein. It can actually be negative for some poeple

[@TTee203]

My hair hates products with protein. There is a negative reaction immediately; especially rice water. I just make sure it has moisture and hydration.

[@LimitlessBloom]

@TTee203 I hear you but I don’t think rice water is protein though. I maybe wrong but I think it’s just starch and whatever other minerals it may have.

[@EarthsElixirforHair]

So much effort in this one, it shows

[@LimitlessBloom]

Thank you ☺️

[@NinthJewel]

Hey !! Glad to see this upload. Thank you for the tips. My hair hates strong protein like aphogee but I use Ayurveda herbs and the Shea moisture mask in the light blue container ( I’ve forgotten the name ) .

[@LimitlessBloom]

Oh heyyy , that’s great that you’ve found a protein treatment that works for you! I haven’t tried the aphogee 2 step protein treatment. Maybe one day but I’ve heard horror stories so just stayed away all these years😅

[@NinthJewel]

@@LimitlessBloom stay away from the aphogee two step treatment. It broke my hair . Can’t wait for more content from you!

​​@LimitlessBloom Hi, actually I have used it and my hair loves it, especiallyif you use heat..

[@LimitlessBloom]

@@HereDiianas oh ok that’s good to know. I do use heat every couple of months so definitely on the to try list one day. Currently have a hair goal as my hair fell out again after a recent sickness so using the products I already have and know my hair loves till it fully recovers .

@@NinthJewel hopefully it works for me when I do try it eventually fingers crossed. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience 💕

[@thefleming7950]

Egg protein works best for my hair; But when my hair has become mushy and too soft, from over conditioning, to the point the elasticity is gone, I will use protein. I switch back n forth, and only when needed. Get to know your own hair. You will know when and what to do.

[@LimitlessBloom]

Definitely agree. There’s no one size fits all

[@docfabz]

I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for years. I think it’s growing, but I think I’m getting cut to often

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yesss this was my problem too! I love fresh ends so was cutting more frequently than necessary. Had a major trim in January this year and dusted my ends twice. It’s been soo hard trying to cut so much of it 😅.

[@cathyfreeman8608]

I have been natural 5 years and never used a protein treatment. My hair is the same length as yours. I deep condition every wash day with heat and dust my ends every two months. I did recently pick up a protein treatment by tgin just because i caught a good sale. Havent tried it yet.

[@LimitlessBloom]

Oh ok, what deep conditioner do you use?

[@cathyfreeman8608]

[@thecure3982]

Having a routine with absolutely no protein in frequent exposure to water can cause mushy hair and eventually breakage but most products have protein in them…… This could be stress related and internal I would get all vitamins and minerals checked

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yes I agree and have had all that you’ve mentioned done. I Take vitamin D and multivitamins ( when I remember 🥲). Also gone through pregnancy + postpartum twice since then so it’s ongoing. I lost hair again in the same places recently after filming this video 😅 (but not so much as before ) and this time it was a result of a recent stomach flu that struck my family. I was only unwell for 3 days but couldn’t eat or drink anything without everything coming back out. So will be growing it out again 😅

[@Amarastarr225]

Please what is the difference between deep conditioning and protein treatment

[@LimitlessBloom]

Amla, fenugreek, Bhringraj, Bhrami, horsetail herb, Black seed ,Jatamansi, shakaiki , indigo herb just to mention a few. The first 6 are quite easy to find and use for beginners. You don’t have to try all at once. One or 2 is ok. I like Amla and fenugreek as they are easy to use . Let me know how you get on ☺️

My problem area is my crown. Please link me a video where you prepared your ayurvedic treatment and your moisturizing treatment. A natural hair stylist used blow dryer for my hair without heat protectant and my hair has been cutting since then. Please help me. I'm on a revival journey.

[@LimitlessBloom]

So the protein treatment I use is called Protein Defence and it’s by Healthy Hair Studios. www.healthyhairstudio.co.uk/products/protein-defence-1?gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6KunBhDxARIsAKFUGs9HOWyjU4SgjTsKOqs05pFQkuA0J62t7uaYB7OrDSlo49MJY-eMJPMaAjD-EALw_wcB I mix a little Amla and fenugreek powder into the treatment as it’s a lazy way to incorporate Ayurveda into my routine. Doing this once a month will strengthen your hair even without the Ayurveda herbs

[@uyaiumoren2030]

Do you blend the fenugreek into a powder before you add it to your conditioner or do you boil it and extract the liquid and add it to your conditioner?

[@LimitlessBloom]

I bought the fenugreek powder so I just add the powder to my conditioner. For my hair teas However I use the fenugreek seeds. I boil it in water with other herbs then let it cool and use the tea in my spray bottle. I keep it in the fridge for a week. Let me know if this answered your question 😊

[@prudencelumbiya1083]

I depend on the protein in my diet

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yes that’s important for a balanced diet and the hair that is about to grow out your scalp but it’s not going to replenish the protein that is lost from your hair through wear and tear once it’s already grown out your scalp. This is like saying because our bodies is made up of 60% of water so I will not drink water and just depend on the water in my body. You will suffer because although the body is made of water , you still need to replenish that water to stay healthy and alive. I’m making a more detailed video on the topic which I think might help.

[@maysmith1869]

Do you use heat on your hair

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yes I do blowouts every so often with heat protectant. Straightened only once in 12 years

[@JanelleA026]

Did you cut off all your thinning hair?

[@LimitlessBloom]

Yeah ,over time but not intentionally. I just trimmed/cut as and when I wanted to. I didnt feel the need for a hair cut at the time since the hair fall was not due to damaged hair. However I was very scissor happy between 2020 and 2023 lol I'm always chasing a nice shape and fresh ends (I cut my hair about 5 times during this time) but this year I have only dusted twice since I'm focusing on length retention. Sadly though my hair fell out yet again after filming this video due to a brief sickness so I will take you guys on the journey to growing it back if people are interested. It basically fell out in the same places lol I can laugh now but i was low key really sad cos i was loving all the progress I had made. oh well

Excellent video and gorgeous hair! Will the herbs color grey hair? I love my grey and avoid staining it with products. Thank you!

[@LimitlessBloom]

Thank you! Love that you love your greys 😍. Not a lot of people do. In regards to which herbs colour the hair, I only know of henna and indigo.most of the Other herbs claim to reverse premature greying if it’s not caused by genetics so there’s that too.

Me, too! I just want thick and full hair. I lost all that thickness this past year. Major splits and lost majority of the hair in my nape. 🫠 So we are going to get back to it!

[@LimitlessBloom]

Oh no! Do you know what caused the breakage? I recently caught stomach flu (diarrhoea & vomiting) from my kids and was sick for 3 days and as a result my hair fell out again just as in the thumbnail. Couldn’t keep anything down for 3 days apart from 1 piece of cracker and an orange 😫This happened a few weeks after filming this video 🥲So we’re back to square 1. Was so upset cos I loved the progress I had made. Will make another video sharing how I plan to improve the thickness again so we can do it together 💪🏾

[@neana9597]

@LimitlessBloom I can't really pinpoint the reason for the breakage. It could have been being stressed, having had covid two times, having a ponytail, etc. Previously, in 2022, my family and I were homeless. It could have been from washing my hair in different hotels. The last time the nape of my hair broke off was because I was permed and I had braids. When I took my braids out, the back of my hair was short and everywhere else broke off too. I guess the nape of my hair is just sensitive. But, yes, we will get it back!

[@LimitlessBloom]

@neana9597 wow so sorry to hear that. You’ve been through a lot so it’s likely a combination of everything.
