Alafia (peace) everyone. As always I'll love to thank you all for your love and support and the positive energy you send my way. Please remember my videos and content are NOT for everyone. If what I'm say do not apply to you or your loc journey that's fine but please keep the negative comments to yourselves and allow others to appreciate what I'm trying to do for the loc community, which is educate. Like I always say, "if you don't like my videos or what I'm saying, then don't watch", it's that simple. BIGGGG SHOUT OUT to all my positive Queens and Kings that subscribe to my channel. YOU GUYS ROCK.

[@lyndak3269]

Yannie, I can see and understand why you are in such high demand, you are honest and work to help all you deal with. You are a most beautiful and good spiritual person. Peace and Blessings to you and your family

[@BahamianBeauty369]

In my 11 years (in August) of locing I have NEVER received this type of information about my hair and I appreciate this. Because everyone is concerned about the "salon finish" they're doing us a biggggg injustice. I just wish there were more people like you around the world that genuinely cared😔 your clients are so lucky! I recently had a major curve ball thrown at me by life and I don't know where to start with my hair😔

[@KissOfLyfe]

I had fibroids about 5 or 6 years ago, too. My doctor called me on a Saturday morning and told me I MUST go to the emergency room before the weekend was over. My iron levels were so low, I ended having to get a pint and a half of blood. First, I noticed my nails were brittle, I was tired all the time, & I had dark circles under my eyes. And then...the anemia started affecting my locs, too. So, I can totally relate to Tina's story. Yannie, you are so genuine and awesome!! Her locs are beautiful!!❤

[@trhg0002]

Hello. My name is Tina. I lost 90% of my hair in 2011 (used relaxers prior to the time), and later learned that it was due to stress. My mother cried. Tina's hair in the video appear to be the same texture and thickness as mine. Through prayer, patience, and educating myself on what was best for my hair--it ultimately grew back and then some. I have been "Sisterlocked" since December, 2013. Praise to the Most High! My hair is approaching mid-back length. Stay encouraged Tina. Thank you too, Yannie--for educating people. Keep up the good work!

[@empressd28]

This video made me go drink a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses lol. But great advice, it’s so true that it can be much more than just a bald spot. Glad that Tina is doing much better. She’s gorgeous!

[@kimberlynicholson942]

Thank you Yannie for being concerned and loving enough to educate us about wearing locs.

[@thediscustedkitty6348]

I'm so glad you're saying this. About 2 years ago my hair started thinning really badly in my crown. The lady who cut my hair at the time was extremely rude and blaming me for it even though I said I wasn't doing anything differently. Turns out I had a VERY severe Vitamin D and Iron deficiency. I love that you focus how overall health and how it can effect your hair and scalp.

[@jaqxmensah7224]

I like this professional support. You know a good loc specialist when they can turn you away for the right reasons. This signifies that you are a customer not a sale.

[@starr6465]

Listen to Yannie, she really cares, do what she tells you to do, She is a Beautiful Person. Thank you Yannie

[@bpolite3566]

I'm glad you spoke on iron deficiency your blog is so informative.Thanks Yannie

[@ermageorge657]

I had the same problem. Hair loss on my crown. I stopped using shampoos, and washed my hair with all natural ingredients (okra leaves,and aloe) now my hair grew back.

[@rashidapatten4470]

I’m so glad I watched this video. My hair is thinning at the crown. I stopped taking my iron pills for a while. I thought it was stress with all that’s going on in the world right now, but it’s probably just low iron. Thank you!

[@tamaracharese]

Thank god you caught it!!! Thank god! I developed CCC Alopecia because my stylist said NOTHING! A lot of Black women have this issue. We need to listen to our bodies. Thank the goddess she has a stylist who cares.

[@renyoung1955]

I’m so glad she went to the doctor when she did! Thank you Yannie for seeing an issue and telling her to get help!

[@donnar000]

Honest to God I have listened very carefully but the lady's lipstick colour is fire! The sight of it erased all the previous information I heard! Her lips are moving, sound is coming out but that lip colour has me shook! She's stunning! ❤

[@bianciajones8665]

Yannie I have been following you for 3yrs. I took the plunge 2 years ago and I love it. Now with me taking seizure meds I'm afraid that this is causing my hair loss. I am going to talk to my doctor. Thank you.

[@marlenemicou9507]

Awesome job!!!! Looks fantastic!! I had a problem with my hair breaking at the base of my locs. I started taking Vitamin D and slowed my stress level down. My hair is doing much better. Wow, Tina went through a lot. Thank goodness she listened!! Congratulations to Tina and big ups to "Queen Yannie!! Love these videos!!

[@YummyChoco1]

What an amazing story! Yannie your antennas were up!⚡Tina is so pretty!😊

[@janeawayne9322]

She's very beautiful, I'm happy she was able to keep her locs.

[@BGK71920]

On the STRENGTH of this video I wanted to call IMMEDIATELY to set up an appointment, called and then hung up bc I forgot... Today is THANKSGIVING! lol. Definitely will call to see Ms. Yannie where you are in Georgia so we can come together. Continued Blessings for you and your clients.

[@LADYG-gl1jx]

Yannie you are a God send!! I have low iron and in supplements. Thanks for this video. I have to be on my supplements now. 😊

[@chitowntoy2033]

Thank you for sharing your story. I was losing clumps of hair for years. I also went to a dermatologist and was told that it was my age and I was also given Rogain, which I didn’t take. Ultimately, it was low iron, primarily due to having a very heavy cycle. I hate that I wasted years and unnecessary hair loss thinking that it was age and stress, but now the issue has been resolved. Definitely persist in getting checked out if you have unexplained hair loss.

[@sha5848]

She’s so beautiful 🙌🏽 Yannie you gave her her beautiful smile back 😁👏🏾🙏🏽 God Bless you for the wisdom you share with us! I don’t know what I would do without you!! See you in a couple of months. 😉

[@uniquegem2715]

She's beautiful 💖 Yannie you know your stuff I've been checking you out for 5 years. You give great information

[@janduncan6488]

You are every loc persons dream hairstylist....because you care about your clients no their money

[@AmiraMuhammad]

Awww… I’m happy that she got the advice from you and she followed up 😀

[@TheClarkteague]

I struggle with alopecia. I’ve been following your advice about leaving my hair alone with exception of keeping it oiled with black castor oil. I’ve also added a spritz of rose water/vitamin E mix when necessary. Let me tell you, my brittle dryness is GONE! My real soft texture is back. I’ve washed my hair twice since August. But my hair is not dirty. I was on Rogaine before I started watching Yannie. I’m a firm believer in going natural!!!! Thank you, Yannie!

[@alphonzawill]

Your videos are the best!!!! Love your energy, your knowledge and your straight talk.

[@MoniMeka]

Omg, she is gorgeous! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@mellmoments3591]

You’re REALLY awesome. This video was meant for to see. I’ve been locking for about 14 years and have had healthy locs for a long time. Until I decided to color some of them an Auburn color last year. A few months after coloring, my locs starting breaking almost right at the point where the color started. Then the crown thinned so much until the whole loc broke off. So I have an area in the top of my head about the same size as the young lady in this video that has hair but so short the scalp is visible. I said that to say, what I thought was breakage due to dyeing my hair, could possibly be due to an internal health issue. Thanks a milly for your truth, advice and pure honesty. I will be making a doctors appointment after COVID-19 is over. I’m located in Atlanta and will be making an appointment with you when you began accepting more clients. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@barberstylistjbri2745]

Thank you for this knowledge and thanks to your gorgeous client for allowing us to tune in on her loc journey ! I have a client now experiencing some of the same situations. His dermatologist reported to us that he should refrain from chemicals and styles. It didn't sit well with me because I assumed I have been using the wrong products. 😞 felt like a bad stylist but After watching this I must say....we may have to call his doctor back and cancel his next appt with me! I'd rather save his hair than lose him as a friend and client! Thank you!

[@anjee.3261]

So glad I watched this today! My Locs have become so so thin on top but before I do anything else I'm going to get a blood test to check for any deficiencies....Thank you Queen, invaluable advice as ever... Blessings!

[@SoulfulVeg]

Wow, this explains a lot! I have low iron, and I just started supplementing and updating my diet. I hope this helps with my thinning hair. Thank you!

[@KARGM]

I love this and I’m so happy for her that her hair grew back 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

[@captureallen8632]

I refer everyone that ask about advice to you. You are the bomb diggity!!!

[@YannietheLocologist]

Lol. Ty love

[@beantianja]

Amazing sis, so pleased you are on the journey to healing you!

[@CathFerook]

I had the exact same thing happen to me before my locs. I had decided to go for a hair transplant and it was when I went for the consultation the doctor was like you need a blood test asap and when the results came back I had to go to the hospital for the iron infusion as she stated

[@MalkiaMelanani]

I really needed to see this video. I was ready to cut mine off, but I will be patient. Thank you for sharing.

[@LadyB247]

I so need a good loc retwist! My stress level is down but finding a good salon in my neck of the woods is making things complicated. 😔

[@patriciajames8830]

Oh Tina is beautiful and I love the way her hair is growing back.

[@daretteyoung432]

Yes it’s true some people just think about the money thank u

[@kelilahqetsiyah6925]

I truly appreciate Tina for giving her testimony. Thank you Yannie and being so knowledgeable and sincere for wanting to help those of us who are having problems with our hair. I am just seeing your videos and they are a blessing to me. 😊⚘

[@back2athletics]

So much information - so appreciative of this conversation. I’m making self-care a priority and an appointment as soon as COVID-19 lifts.

[@arlitashelby7155]

I'm currently dealing with my locs thinning. I've made an appointment with my doctor to address this issue. Thank you for this video Yannie.

[@sheenaboone2054]

I can't thank you enough for posting these videos. I was doing the most and initially I love the softness of my hair after I washed but then I realized it not only changed the texture of my hair, preventing it from locking, but my hair started falling out. Fast forward, I've been following your advice-I've being patient with the process and progress and I happy to say my course texture is back. I still have a couple of small bald spots. I don't know if it's permanent alopecia- I dyed my hair causing me to lose part hair. Nevertheless, I left my hair alone. Thank you again. Keep educating the loc community not just about locs but about health and sense of self. Take care.

[@towananelson2113]

Thank you Yannie...I am working a job and do not have benefits. So, I take what you say to heart... eating vegetables... drinking plenty of water too..

[@angelaangela2980]

Omg good job yannie, her hair is beautiful and she is beautiful good job 👏 💖

[@cydninealy3913]

She is gorgeous. Reminds me of Jill

[@ashleelois]

Awesome content. I'm on my path to be a natural hair stylist wanting to do more locs than loose natural. I love finding hair stylist that actually care about the clients and their hair because this is one of my main reasons to get into this profession. New Subbie looking forward to learning more.

[@diannaharrieth1625]

Tina is truly gorgeous

SUCH A WONDERFUL VIDEO! Thank you Yannie for educating us.

[@ameliagraham3892]

Your videos are helpful, I'm looking forward to my first visit. I'm getting my health together inside out this video is a eye opener for me.

[@germaineoneal7679]

OMG I just found u and flowing u...thanks for the info...I had locs and took it out and now thinking of putting it back, but it's thin in the scalp but not bald spots to much...thank u again

[@Suzieq5446]

Yanni I love your flow. Thanks for caring and sharing.

[@diannaharrieth1625]

Trust Yannie, if she says something do it

[@diannaharrieth1625]

1 word for Yannie, AWESOME!

[@SESmithy]

I use to loose hair in two spots behind both of my ears for 10 years. Everytime Id go to the doctors they'd tell me nothing is wrong and that it was just traction alopecia. Which I knew wasn't true. Then I lost one spot in the middle back of my hair that went completely bald and they told me the same thing it also grew back completely straight. It wasn't until I went to the doctors for regular check up they checked my blood and I had such low iron they thought I had a blood condition. They also noticed my thyroids weren't working efficiently. Hair is a by product of underlying issues and a lot of the time the doctors willllll dissmiss you!!! With diet change and working out I haven't had the problem since!

[@denisemoote125]

Very informative video. Thank you. 👍🏽

[@anitasantiago1291]

Love your videos. They are so informative. I hope you can do with suggestions on how to wear your locs when they are damaged and you are waiting for the hair to grow back. Thanks so much

[@ArtByTaneisha]

I wish I seen this video before I took my locs out :'( :(

[@Zizi3]

She’s so beautiful! Yannie you’re a blessing.

[@peacheswilliams9779]

My hair is currently in mess. I go through winter damage every year. How do I maintain my loca without retwisting? Is it ok to wash & oil and not retwist?

[@wildflower3517]

Thank you Yannie for using your gift for doing hair to help and share.

[@ameliagraham3892]

I really like you care for the person and their health and the healthy care of their hair. I'm impressed I live in Pennsylvania I'm looking forward to starting my journey with growing my hair back with you. This video inspire me. I'm getting my health together inside first.

[@Porter5habazz]

Ooh wow so that’s what’s going on with me. I just had to get a blood n iron transfusion. My hair has been acting weird for about a year now. This makes sense.

[@just1rite]

She's gorgeous!

[@helenalewis1666]

I love how u work with ur clients Thank u for such great information. Thanks

[@be-artkorah7903]

I have iron deficiency but the iron tablets make me constipated. So I stopped taking it. I will continue after 2 weeks again. And I have heavy menstruation, so Dr put me on birth control (injection depo). Hope things will change for me. Thanx for the info Yannie.

[@wildflower3517]

She's gorgeous

[@giglmorekids8725]

Omg Yannie please teach me. I keep saying that there is a huge disconnect from the old ways and whatever it is that we are doing now. I'm even searching my family history try and find some answers. My hair is part of the reason I started searching and I am looking for people who know the what's what.

[@MsJaye7]

Wow!, I have the same issue. I didn't know it had an effect on my hair. I do have some hair loss. Mine however is like the parts are super clean so I didnt notice untill after I addressed my low iron. Great video. I will take my supplements. I see now that it is important. Again great video thanks. 😁

[@heatherjoseph297]

She is beautiful in deed

[@julieduranie]

God bless you Yannie and Tina

[@raquelfrazier3241]

Truly needed this video. Thank you Yannie 🙏🏾

[@150lady]

You are talking to me. Thank you. This sounds like my story. What do I,do when my hair stylist is not knowledge about health issues. But just wants to fix hair.

[@chayah_luv]

hanks for sharing your knowledge. 10+ yrs ago I was dealing with hair loss. It took me going to 3 different doctors and complaining someone listened to me. They found out I had discoid lupus. But with more extensive blood work it ended up being SLE Lupus.

[@mprime1154]

Hi Yannie love you video and advice. I just wanted to ask is there something you can recommend instead of rose water. The smell is just too strong for me. Thanks

[@kaywil8228]

Wow!! Both of you ladies are amazing. Thanks so much for sharing, this was so informative. God bless you both. Yannie what is your medical background?

[@paris6378]

Thanks, Queen. Great information.

[@rossalindhorne6332]

Amazing! I just saw you days ago... i'm in (loc) recovery! Loving every minute... peace&love

[@YannietheLocologist]

I'm looking forward for you to get to this point. I'm proud of how far you've come and that was only your second visit with me.

[@150lady]

Thank,you Tina for sharing your testimony.

[@patriciajames8830]

Hi Yannie, my name is Patricia I saw your video with Tina and I suffered with hair loss in the same area. I am a pre-diabetic I’m not sure if it’s the medication that’s causing my hair loss but one thing I like to add is my scalp itch so bad especially in that area what product can I use for the itching

[@talia4007]

try eating cleaner; more plant based, less red meats, drink less soda; and use some jamaican black castor oil. try not to stress a lot and don't retwist as often as you would. hope that helps.

[@4evalocd660]

Thank you Queen 💜💜✌🏾✌🏾

[@Neconza]

Thank you for this video!

[@thekat677]

Im just finding this video but the same thing happen to me. I had not seen a dr in years but when i found one and told her i was tried all the time and if i got over heated i felt like i was about to pass out. she took blood and a few days later she called me and said to find some one to bring me right now to the ER. when i got there i ended up getting two pints of blood. a week later i think it was i had to start the iron transfusions. but for me i have had to get them on and off for about 3 years. and they still check it twice a yr along with b12 shots. i have had my locs for 11 years now and i have fine hair i dont know the # or grade. i lost alot of locs and it has thinned alot. i really dont want to cut my hair but it looks for thin now. im thinking of just cutting it and starting over.

[@dafinamosley912]

This video was informative. I am going to be more vigilant about taking vitamins.

[@kimberlyblack5865]

Yes I took this advice and now I'm taking iron pills and I deal with hypothyroidism as well.

[@paulajackson2948]

This happened to me soon after I ruptured my Achilles tendon. The hair in the middle of my head just went missing! Better now but a lot of my locs have a very thin bit in the middle now which are likely to break at some point.

[@flossyraven]

Thank you for sharing 💙

[@anjee.3261]

Tina you are beautiful!

[@GyrlBlaque]

What color are your your nails

[@charlesjohnsonjr330]

How long did it take to grow back? I had locs, and I cut my locs off in 2021. I noticed 4 months, I had lost a lot of hair in the crown area. In February, I started using wild growth hair oil and It has grown back a little, but I still see my scalp in the crown area. How long will it take for it to fully grow back?

[@redhot2976]

It's different for everyone. I'm sure you don't want to hear that, because for us, our mane is our pride and we want to see it come back immediately. But everyone's hair grows at different rates, the same way that we lose and gain weight differently.
