Just subbed. I'm new to your channel, but I'm impressed with your content and manner of delivery! 😊👌 Around 2015, I remember unexplainable scalp itching at the crown. Prior to that, I've always enjoyed thick hair,,,,,, fast-forward »»» despite massive 'shedding' I didn't realize I lost enormous amounts of hair until my mother brought it to my attention and I saw a recent picture of myself (at that time); "Aye, Yi, Yiiii!" 😱 Now I've got to 'comb-over' to conceal! ✊😝 It's all good; slowly but slowly... it's coming back! 👏💯 Sry long,,,, just wanted to thank you for all you're doing to educate us in KZbin Valley. 🤗 Be Gr8 & Stay Safe! 😄 📖 • Matthew 7 : 12 • 📖 💖

Mini twisting as we speak. Tip for low po girls or just dry in general, I wear a shower cap, on dry hair, under my bonnet every other night. Lord the moisture that I have in the am is amazing.

[@ohcarolina8671]

I do this too, if I don't my hair gets super dry. Spray my hair with rose water, plop the shower cap on, whip it off in the mornings then seal it with jbco. Then I'm set for two days.

[@Strength_In_Wisdom]

@@ohcarolina8671 I didn't know hair was supposed to stay moist along with oils.

[@kay-ty5rx]

Yes honey doing this is much better than wetting it everyday because it can start to get matted. I seal w/whipped Shea butter!

[@kay-ty5rx]

Growth / Potential it’s best to add the oil on damp hair to lock in the moisture.

Thanks 4 sharing. I'm going to try this

[@commandery3574]

honestly the things it takes to take care of our hair, JUST to retain length is ridiculous. it’s so disheartening. like why is our hair like this??? i’m sorry i know i’m supposed to love my hair but it is SO hard.

[@Genuinelybeautiful1985]

I feel you. I’m thinking diet and genes plays a lot in this.

[@KayBellaDolce]

I feel you it’s so hard to love it when it’s so difficult to maintain and so expensive so time consuming and one little thing you do wrong or neglect and boom all that work to the ethers because your back at square 1 🥺

[@vlurzz]

I understand this especially with dealing with breakage, what i would advise is have a consistent regimen and if you are stuck, get help from a professional you can trust, also manage your expectations about length retention. A simple regiment would be shampoo, condition or deep condition and style and possible do a mid week moisture routine, something that overwhelms me is the amount of steps some people do in their wash day, you don't have to follow suit, just do the basics of washing, conditioning, styling and mid week moisturising, wish you the best

[@feliciaaddo5932]

Omg, right? I've been stuck at shoulder length for years because apparently the friction with clothes causes damage, braiding it causes damage, imbalanced moisture to protein causes damage. There's water overload, product build up, and all that to worry about. I'm so stressed. I cant retain any length

Girl this vid found me just in time! My hair has been shedding so bad. I was crying for the past month. I did not have a baby, surgery or lost drastic weight. I don’t color, straighten it manipulate my hair at all. I went to the doctor Becuz i thought i had cancer or an illness and those fools couldn’t help! I took matters into my own hands. In ONE month. My shedding has decreased drastically and stressing about it was making it worse. Starting March 1, i took MegaFood builder and Vitamin D! In one month my hair has literally went from a baseball amount of shedding to literally a quarter amount it shedding. A lot of times our bodies are out of wack. Stress, life, hairstyles, food. Etc. hope this helps. Get ur blood levels checked girlie. Doctor thought i was exaggerating til i showed her the balls of hair i saved. A month and half later I’m more at ease!

[@discogal5162]

I love how honest and realistic this video was. I’m having the same problem, had wash day yesterday after having braids for two weeks and mad hair came out from me just detangling it. I feel like it might be because I didn’t oil it often while in the protective style

[@Mochi_chan737]

That could just be the shed hair that must have accumulated during the two weeks, as we normally shed around 50-100 hair strands per day

[@bleurose1502]

Shed hair is long full strand hair, shedding is normal in moderation especially if it's been some time since last detangled (e.g month long protective styles). Excessive shredding-> likely internal issues I.e vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress etc Breakage is short broken off hair -> likely to do with your methods of manipulation (styling, tension, not trimming etc), levels of protien or moisture, or possibly deficiencies also weakening your hair making breakage more likely. I hope that helps

[@zakiahart3919]

[@Nikkinoonie]

Aside from proper tool usage hair loss could occur due to our health .Me personally tried doing everything correct on the outside but my iron was really low which caused a lot of my excessive hair shedding.Im finally shedding less due to my vitamins ,exercise and diet.I had 2 inches cut off for a fresh start.I have started regular hot oil treatments paired with deep conditioning weekly which I love .Anyway hopefully you will get to the bottom of your issue.GOOD LUCK ‼️

[@amberkhashmal]

This may be late, & you may not still have this problem, but I would encourage you to try a green tea rinse with rosemary (aids in hair growth). Natural85 has a video tutorial on this. I added rosemary to my hot water as the tea bag was seeping. I carefully added an application bottle full (I purchased one from Sally’s beauty. It’s the leakproof Salon Care bottle) amount to my hair after I applied my deep conditioner. I let it sit for about 30 minutes, & afterwards rinsed it out. I believe it works & that I shedded less hair. I’m going to keep trying it. I plan to use it every two weeks. I think what we consider more shedding may come with having dense hair, however I believe there are ways to reduce it. Also we should consider our hair is coily & curly, and one shed hair looks like a lot, & 20 shed hairs can form a ball.

[@dnvrmom]

I wish I had seen this video much earlier, but I had a handle on breakage for a while. I don’t know if it’s stress, grief or exactly what, but I am losing handfuls just finger detangling. I just opened a Mielle mint oil, but I’ve only used it one time. When you use the peppermint tea, which I have tons of, do you rinse it out or leave it in? I need low-manipulation, nighttime routine and I don’t know where to begin.

[@songcry23617]

[@carrietoo]

I've had success with green tea before, but I used caffeinated green tea because caffeine blocks/inhibits the hormone DHT which causes hair shedding. It also activates hair follicles. There actually was a study done that observed the affects of caffeine on hair follicles, which were positive. The plan is to use coffee rinses going forward because coffee has more caffeine. But coffee will stain the cuticles, which I don't mind.

You are wrong about that. My mom died of cancer. She never had any chim therapy and i saw her hair thinning more and more.

About feeling lumps: it for sure on your skin since your skull will make it pretty much impossible to feel the one on your brain. The pressure could be for different reason as small as stress or as important as brain sickness. If you have NO other related symptoms, it probably nothing to severe.

Thank you for this video. I immediately clicked when I saw the title. My hair significantly broke off on either side in the lower back. I think I'm going to cut back on my weekly shampoos, and try the Organic Green tea rinse in addition to continuing my deep conditioners. My hair sheds everyday, especially after wash day. I trim my hair but usually while in twists. I did cut about 2 inches off about 1 months ago. Eventhough I wanted to wait until my hair started growing back in the back, but I think I may get some twists or box braids. My hair does well when braided too. Again thank you for this video👍!

My hair is always shedding abnormally a lot to me (weather running my hands through it, after washing it, or taking out braids). I stopped relaxing it when I was in high school because I realized how damaging it was and chopped a lot of it off in 2016 after i graduated (while doing it gradually in high school). In 2018 I was diagnosed with leukemia but now my hair has been growing back since last year and although I know it’s growing, it’s still sheds a lot like before I shaved it when I got sick so it’s like I don’t even see the growth. 😞 Btw could be me but I feel like all the relaxing I was getting since I was little & the sew-ins I did my first 2 years in high school really thinned my hair out as well. In 2018, I shaved my hair bald due to it already falling off and it just began growing back last year but i feel like the growth is really not going anywhere, even before I got sick. I’m stuck and don’t know what to do 😭 any help?

[@atema5320]

I would advice washing your hair with rice water + onions What I'm doing is taking fertilised rice water and onion mixing them up During wash day when my hair is wet I add the onion and rice leave it in for about 10 min and then shampoo it off. ( No lie the onions burns when spraying it on your hair cuz sometimes it drips to the eyes and even afterwards shampoo the onion Smell is lingering around you but pain is beauty yeah?👀 ) And after the washing do not put coconut oil on your head just use another essential oil ( too much protein in coconut ) That's really helped get stronger and softer hair. Which in return has helped my hair stop shedding I hope it works for you too!

Recently I’ve been having so much breakage bc I stopped taking care of my hair. I literally just washed my hair added leave in and left it in a puff for a week until I washed my hair again. My ends got so tangled and I just added conditioner and detangled it. I used to braid my hair for a whole week which kept my ends tucked and safe from getting tangled. I didn’t loose as much hair as I’m doing rn, so I’m starting to go back to the braids. Hopefully it’ll help, but school is almost starting and I always do tight hairstyles which will not help lol.

[@pamelamccants2877]

@@gheneechoo9083 it’s either your iron or vitamin D level is low. Have your doctor check your levels because they will definitely cause hair loss. Facts. I loss all my hair. Shedding and coming out in clumps by the handfuls. I went to the doctor but I gotta better results from KZbin and Google. I started shampooing my hair once a week using a shampoo brush which stimulates blood flow and encourages hair growth. I deep condition and use a plastic cap and since I’m low porosity I have to sit under the dryer for 20 minutes then rinse with cool water. Then I apply a leave in conditioner. I always detangle with a wide tooth comb. I always sleep with a satin bonnet or scarf sometimes both but never sleep without because cotton dries out hair which will cause breakage. I take a multivitamin daily and vitamin D and vitamin C. Growing oils are Peppermint, lavender and tea tree oil. If you’re high porosity then you need to use a protein treatment every 2 - 3 months. I did and still doing these things and my hair now is almost to my collar bone compared when it was all the way to my scalp. And you must cut away those split ends. No saving them period. Your hair will thrive.

My hair literally breaks from the slightest touches when wet. I have a steamer and the hood is often covered in tiny pieces of hair because of how bad my hair is. Any tips would be much appreciated 🙏🏾 I can’t even apply products without my hair covering the bottle, my hands, and everything else (ps, I’ve done 2 big chops already and lately I’ve been deep conditioning more often to help this. I’ve tried aphogees protein treatments and I saw no changes with that either)

[@amarismith3878]

Try to go for light protein treatments. The ors replenishing conditioner just helped my breakage after leaving it in for an hour. When I had this problem, I thought I needed an extreme protein treatment or an extreme moisturizing conditioner but I realized that a light protein treatment w protein in the first 7 ingredients was what I needed. Hope that helps.

How is your hair now?

[@LiahEditz1]

Do u think the color is making it thinner? That’s what’s going on with my hair

[@xolyndajay]

I would say that the color is playing a part if I experienced this same issue every time that I've colored my hair. However this is the first time I am experiencing something like this even though I have colored my hair multiple times in the past. I will say though that having colored hair is more high maintenance so the neglect that my hair experienced while being colored does take a harder hit. But I would not say that coloring it is what got me to where I am now.

[@jemylink9311]

I think added colour is one of the problem . It breaks hair .lets stop colouring our hair . Maybe this time around the hair wasnt just having it . What a beautiful hair , to be breaking I feel your pain

[@ommiik]

bro idk what what’s wrong with my hair back in sep 2015 when i was like 11 i got a Brazilian blowout this lady lied and said it would my hair more manageable. I had 4a hair and it made my hair 3b-c. then i felt little spikes on my scalp- turns out it was new growth... hair was growing and a lot of hair was falling out. in April 2016, i had some strands if long hair and very short afro. weird. so my mom cut it down to the afro and i started new with 2 inches. my mom is east African so she has 2c-3a hair could not manage my 4a hair at all so i never did. I’m in 6 th grade watching these “grow hair over night” videos. than i start seeing girls with my hair. fast forward i’m 15 now and my hair is barley at my shoulders. my scalp tends to be very itchy. I have so much breakage on the middle of my hair crown. basically all on my scalp. when i went to the salon they ask what’s wrong with my hair everytime, this one lady told me i look like i have relaxer damage. my hair is mad uneven. i barley get my hair done, got box braids like once. i wear in a low pony tail very tight. no bonnet. i don’t want to have to cut all off again. i don’t know what to do? rice water, aloe ??? idk what to do and i literally cry about it all the time.

[@zina2785]

I apply castor oil and biotin treatments in scalp massages for 5 mins morning and night and sleep with a bonnet. If you don't want to wear a bonnet, sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to not dry out your hair as much. Pineapple your hair to not flatten your curls. Make sure you get your blood checked and find out if you have any vitamin difficiencies. I heard rice water helps, but as a general rule of thrumb- no heat, keeping your hair in protective styles that do not tangle your hair (a low ponytail is not one of those, braids are a better alternative), and deep conditioning once a week as well as only shampooing once a week. Doing proper wash n gos for my hair type using products that don't contain harmful sulfates and silicones make my curls look better, and make me feel more confident abt my natural hair. The app Think dirty shop clean is so great for checking the products you use on your skin and hair for harmful ingredients, just in case they may be the cause. Good luck girl! Also don't stress too much about your hair because stress could also cause hormone imbalances. Just let the process do its thing, and believe that as long as you are taking proper care of your hair, it will do the same for you.

[@zina2785]

sorry for ranting but I have to add that you should not feel pressured to get a big chop. I totally understand not wanting to have your hair so short, and on my damaged hair I only trimmed dead/split ends every couple months. Search KZbin for ppl who have transitioned their natural hair w/o a big chop for more info. Can't wait for you to embrace your natural hair!!!

I did a sew-in around December which was super tight. When I took it out, my hair just fell off😩. I have bald spots and my scalp is so tender. They’re at the center, so I can hide it. But I feel like my hair is still shedding so much when I wash it. I’m wearing wigs right now, and it’s started to grow back. But I don’t know what to do to make it grow faster. Should I just chop it off and start fresh?

Came to this video bc my hair just won’t grow, like at all. It seems like it grows more when I wear protective styles like wigs or braids but it never grows past my shoulders & I am getting so frustrated. I have started moisturizing my hair a lot more, started detangling it while wet, I have tried leave in conditioners, coconut oil, etc and every time I go to comb or brush my hair a hand full of hair comes out & idk why. Right when I think my hair is doing good it’s goes right back to its normal length & im honestly about ready to give up. It’s so frustrating & annoying.
