10 Signs Your Hair Is UNHEALTHY & How You Can Fix It NOW

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by my channel to check out today's healthy hair care chit-chat about 10 Signs That Your Is Unhealthy. The things mentioned are things that I've experienced and learned how to correct over time and with patience. I originally started my very first relaxed hair journey in 2008. I went natural in 2016 and returned to relaxing my hair in 2019, and with the experience I've had in the past, I was able to recover and transform my hair back to better health with the previous knowledge and hair journey experience.

It be so hard to cut our hair especially when we finally start to see some growth. Still we all know when it’s time to let somethings go. I just did a cut and my styles are looking so much better. Thanks! Seeing all your hair transformations makes it easy when it be time to let it go. Because the goal should always be the health of our hair and not just the length of our hair. Ladies don’t be afraid of them scissors when it’s time! As long as you have a regimen you should be good.

[@ulovemegz]

Thank youuuu! Yesss it can be hard at times but once your hair starts to transform for the better it’s soooo much better in the long run to cut the hair off and start fresh.

[@ShannB]

Wow you really spoke to me . My hair has been shedding like crazy and I couldn’t figure out why . My scalp was extremely dry and flaky, feeling irritated. Also I am colored treated . So I’m on a new journey and purchased Olaplex . Wish me luck .

Oh my gosh you just explain my exact situation. I been back to relaxing for about 5 months now. I HAVE To moisturize daily with a water base leave in or at least every 2 days. And deep condition EVERY week. Thank you for this! It’s time for a trim for me now but moisture is key.

It was easy to go natural, I big chop’d but not as easy to go bck to chemicals. I’m texlaxed, I prep my hair as yu wud a relaxer but I use a texturizer to throw in & immediately rinse out bc of the texture of my hair. I texturize to take out som of the bulk to my natural hair bc the natural hair game was a struggle. But my hair was way different b4 I went natural vs now when I texlaxed. I had to chop a lot of hair off too. Great tips Ms. Lady, yu look beautiful as usual & I will mos def use these tips to keep up my texlaxed hair, thx! ❤️

I’m experiencing most of these! I’m natural but I only get it straightened twice a year and I thought it would keep my hair healthier but it is a mess on top of a sore scalp due to protective styles this year. I’ll start getting a trim maybe every 2-3 months.

I have cut like 2 inches off, textlaxed wear half wigs, headband wigs, and sometimes twists, and ive seen my hair retain more length. It is a full time job pre pooing, deep conditioning, protein, moisturize and seal etc but worth it.

[@ulovemegz]

I agree. Caring for your hair def takes time and patience but its really worth it.

[@sojournerliving]

And don't forget to take B12; Omega 3 & Magnesium...My hair started growing really fast with the vitamins. I did everything that Meg talked about plus adding my supplements back. My hair is shedding right now. The only thing that changed was giving the vitamins a break and I did a protein treatment. My hair didn't like that. I know that my hair is protein sensitive but I did it anyway. I am back on my vitamins and the hair is going back in braids to see if I can stop the shedding after the protein treatment. Thank you sis for reminding us to check our routine.😝

[@chiquitafederico296]

I can relate to so much of this.. In Jan 2021 I decided I was going to stop "protective styling" after a good 7years of back to back style and wear my curls.. But noticed that my texture was very different from in my 20's, when I'd 1st went natural.. My hair was very long, midback/almost natural waist legnth.. But my curls were rough, thin strands, low density, stringy looking.. Cut to couple months ago, I went to a natural curly cut stylist and my hair is now in a curly bob.. Starting my hair journey all over.. It's now weekly washing, easy styling, and will be staying in contact with a stylist going forward to ensure I keep up on trims.. I'm already seeing growth, but can't wait to get back to the legnth I'd had but healthy this time.. Love getting to watch others journeys as they discover what works best for them and their hair..

[@roseoliver7179]

My hair is short but I am happy with it it's healthily and it's fine hair and thin. I am going to start over natural for now.

Hello, I just cut my hair 💇🏾‍♀️ into a pixie cut due to damage. I was doing my own relaxer ☹️ to save money 💰. I’m going to start back going to the salon 💇🏾‍♀️. I’m thinking 🤔 about going natural. If not I’ll just keep it short. I do wash 🧼 my hair every week. I don’t like dirty hair. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you and thank you for watching! I use Aussie Moist as is without adding anything. I would consider my porosity to be normal.

Great video! This is so helpful and very much needed at this time. I recently cut my hair into a Bob and the lights yours so I can try to throw out my texlaxed hair better. When it comes to blow drying, do you apply leave in conditioner to your hair prior to that? I’m not sure if that is what is making my hair more brittle because I am applying to a product before blow drying and air drying
