My Natural Hair Texture Is BACK! | Hair Journey Update

[@onnaliesefurbay1851]

Because of your first video, I went to the doctor and found out that I have anemia. Thank you so much for posting it! Seeing your results now really gives me hope that I’m not going to go bald and my curls will come back!!

[@ActuallyAshly]

Wow! So happy to hear that. Heres to being healthy!! xoxo

[@heart2heart2003]

any updates on your hair? 😢

[@tiana3846]

Hi! Any updates on your hair.. dealing with the same thing!

[@DayeLaSoul]

I’m so excited for you! Currently going thru a reset and transitioning out my color. Can’t wait to get it over with

[@ActuallyAshly]

Girl, its definitely a process but doesn't it feel good when you see the healthy growth coming in?!

[@mayelinespino2487]

Thank you so much for this video. I had some blood test done last year. The doctor never called me to tell me the results since I can see them myself in an app. When I got my results I checked the hemoglobin levels, they were fine. But after watching this video an hour ago I took a second look at the CBC and I found that my MCHC are extremelly low, outside of a normal range, which indicates that I have anemia. For over a year I have been dealing with extreme fatigue, weakness, dizziness, sensitivity to cold temperature, and of course, the change in hair texture. On top of that depression since I am studying Computer Science and most of the times I found myself with no energy to study, no matter how much I sleep. I would have never taken a second look at my results without watching your video. Thank you again.

[@diemarisanita1208]

I suffer from anemia caused by low iron, beets is my favorite vegetable....i can eat it every day....all day. Glad you are doing well and that your hair and your health has bounced back. 👏😊👏😊👏😊

[@ActuallyAshly]

Lucky you!! haha The beet root supplements have been helpful since I just can't gut the taste of beets lol

[@MileydisH]

WOW, girl I just saw your video about your texture changing and I kid you not, it was ME 2 years ago!!! My products that I had been using for 9 years completely stopped working. Fast forward to now/ today and my hair is FINALLY BACK to its natural thickness and tighter curls. Yesterday I cut the last bit of the damaged hair and my hair is at the shortest it’s ever been (barely touching my shoulders). I feel soooooo HAPPY that my Fuller, Thicker and Tighter curls are BACK 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I just now need to “train it” to accept those old products again.

[@heart2heart2003]

hello, im kind of desperate and want my old texture back 😢 any advice ? what products did you use to get it back?

[@Paticakesallday]

I've been going through it for a while too.... First I thought it was just my iron because I am anemic, but my body just wasn't super responsive to the iron. I continued to suffer with fatigue and shortness of breath daily. Turns out it's my adrenals which can lead to a thyroid issue. I'm not the biggest fan of medication (and there isn't one for adrenal fatigue) so I'm trying my hardest to heal myself with foods..... It's a constant battle. So happy for you!!!!!

[@ActuallyAshly]

Thank you SO much for sharing this!!! Im glad you figured it out and hope you’re able to get it under control!

[@annahaney7675]

This gives me so much hope! I really hope I can get my old texture back and get rid of my iron deficiency:)

[@acurly3513]

Well said, especially in light of the Deva Curl disaster! I'm appreciative of your encouragement to see a doctor vs. self-diagnosing. Looking forward to more videos:)

[@ActuallyAshly]

I know! I hate to see what's going on with all that. Unfortunate.

[@MarielNunez]

Omg just found your original post about this today because I was trying to figure out why the top of my hair is straight while the rest is curly. I couldn’t figure out if i was styling it wrong, or if my hair just isn’t as curly as i think it is. But after watching it i remembered that i also am anemic and have been ignoring this fact for years. I had no idea that it could ruin your curls 😔. I’m going to go to the doctor and get this dealt with!! Thank you for sharing your story! It has been very helpful. Your hair looks beautiful now!

[@inquisitivebibliophile7572]

Thanks for sharing Ashly! I'm so glad you're healthier and that your curls are coming in tighter! ❤️❤️

[@ActuallyAshly]

Thank you so much for watching! xoxo

[@sharont5731]

Oh thank you so much for your video! Around this time last year I also found out I was low in my iron levels to the point it was almost 0. The iron tablets didn’t work so I had the iron transfusion. Although my recent blood checks are at a good level now, I’ve noticed that in my past few months I’ve lost at lot of my curl definitions. It was very gradual and I have been telling myself it’s hair product or just need a good cut. It’s really only your last video on this topic as well this one that your hair have gone back to its normal beautiful state. This made me realised that it’s most likely what has happened to my hair! This video gave me hope as when I saw your last video I didn’t realise that it took you 2 years! Also this made me recall that after having my daughter over 5 years ago, my hair changed dramatically from thick and 2b-3a to thin and 1a 😂 it too almost 2 years to go back to normal! So thank you 🙏 amazing how our hair triggers on things that goes on with our insides.

[@heart2heart2003]

any updates on your hair ? did you get the old texture back?

[@youngjazz24]

Thank you for posting this. I am going through something very very similar and have been reluctant about seeing a physician. After watching the first and follow up video, I requested to schedule a long over-due appointment for some blood work as well. Much Love!

[@healingwithgolden]

I'm so happy for you! Thank God

[@ActuallyAshly]

Aw thank you!

Thank you! 😊

[@shebopsentertainment4643]

Thank you so much for your transparency. I have had low iron for a long time and have been stubborn in taking my iron pills. Now I know why my hair is shedding so much and it looks stringy. It's because of my low iron. My low iron levels are critical my doctor is always telling me to make sure I take my iron pills. Just last year in 2021 I had to have an iron fusion and even a blood transfusion because my iron was so low, It was like a 3😳. Thank you so much for this encouragement I will now start everyday taking my iron pills daily PS, I'm going to try the ones you have been using because like you I don't like orange juice.

[@heart2heart2003]

any updates?

[@chelseygarrett4221]

I'm really bad at taking my iron but when my doctor told me that it can cause organ failure I started taking it more regularly. 😅 I'm a little embarrassed to say it had more to do with my hair falling out.

[@Nawfamimgood]

I'm so happy to see you looking healthy and happy (that hair tho 😍).

[@OFFICIALCHACHIPAULINO]

Thank you for giving me hope. Im going through the same exact thing and i cant wait to see my hair in a year or 2! Im on prenatal plus slow fe iron! Thank you and congrats! #girlswithcurls

[@letyzuniga]

This is happening to me, I was horrified when I realized that my hair was growing wavy, I have 3b-3c type hair and I've been searching everywhere what could be the matter with my hair, thank u so much, I'm serious, i was so depressed cause I think that it was my fault because I dye my hair recently but the problem was that the roots we're wavy too, im going to visit a doctor cause I haven't noticed that I've been weak and I'm sure is this iron thing. Sorry if you can't understand my comment very well, I'm from Mexico, thank u so much!!!!

[@ActuallyAshly]

Wow! So exciting!!

[@andreastaylor1826]

Kamryn Sharpe same girl same

[@biabia9181]

Wow .... I assumed my hair changed because of heat damage. I do have issues with iron to. My hair was falling out in clumps. It already sheds extra because of my scalp psoriasis but the amount of hair falling out was definitely alarming. My hair was falling out excessively from my roots and breaking on the shaft at the same time. I’m taking a daily vitamin and a prenatal vitamin (I’m not pregnant.) hopefully these will help me in my transitioning. Thank you for this video.

[@rhyndawatson4173]

Glad you are feeling better and your right beets do taste like dirt lol but I learned to like them by sauteeing them in butter and garlic, also the golden beets are milder in taste

[@amarie2328]

Ok I'm definitely gonna go to the doctor. I'm glad you were able to figure things out and heal 😍

[@MirjamDH]

You know what I had very long hair (up to my butt)... Back to summer 2017 I had a lot of stress and didn't ate that much like I used too so I lost more and more hair so my friend who's a hairstylist cut my hair to a long Bob but I still lost my hair. Before Christmas it was no way back and we had to cut my hair almost as short as a pixie haircut then I made a strong hair cure after two weeks the hair falling stopped so after one and a half year (my hair grows fast) I had beautiful hair over my shoulder (that was 2019 summer) they were curly and healthy and also I ate normaly with everything my body needed... Now few months later (2020 spring) my hair was getting thicker and heavier and the curl were more and more kinda wavy so I took more the heaviness out but there came no curls...(i started to make curls with a iron because of my job) so I thought maybe they were too damaged so I cut them off again more short... So right now I got short hair... And the curls never came back.... And I am eating healthier then ever and my life is fine... So now I don't know what can I do I did a lot but nothing :/

[@heart2heart2003]

any updates on your hair?

[@alice4171]

Started noticing that I was a losing a lot of hair whenever I took a shower and I mean a lot. My curl pattern changed drastically and I’ve been very fatigue lately. Although I haven’t been to the doctors in years due to them always brushing me off I’m positive it’s low iron

[@thusharakavya4971]

Right now having supplements from a month after i found out i have severe iron deficiency,( ferritin -9) still having a lots of hair fall but definitely seeing regrowth but i think there is long way to go. I actually lost 60-70 percent of hair already 😭

[@thatcurlydiva827]

You got your curls back after howmany years of delivery?

[@andyschrant3312]

hey guys idk if people still comment here but i have seen changes in my hair texture from tight and sleek curls to more thin and wavy. I eat really good and eat foods so often that are high in iron but just dont know whats going on

[@journeytoart]

I have the same problem, got my blood work done, but i have healthy iron levels, haemoglobin, platelet, thyroid too, so don't know what is causing it :( . Now i do know is i don't exercise and drink enough water, so im doing that now, hope it works, i never did any heating either, ever. Probably it's some shampoo or stress, im 22 having this problem since 19.

[@nyteriaparrish1000]

Did you get your vitamin d levels checked as well?

[@journeytoart]

@@nyteriaparrish1000 no but i live in tropical city, i go out a lot, its very sunny here and i get tan , so thats why, my doc also din ask me to check either,they told me to eat healthy, so i have started some veggies

[@nyteriaparrish1000]

Ok. Great :)

Im glad you got everything checked out tho at your doctor to rule everything out. I hope the changes you're making now will help you see a difference!
