Two-strand twists are so much better for my natural hair, personally. I love braids but after wearing them back-to-back last summer, my hair became so thin and weak. A trip to the dermatologist revealed that I had alopecia. I'm not saying the braids caused it, but they certainly did not help. The doctor advised me to not wear braids and to never use synthetic braiding hair because not only are the chemicals in that hair toxic, but she said some of that hair contains fiberglass! She put me on a regiment of prescribed hair oil drops and Nutrafol which did stop the hair loss, however, some spots are permanent. If you see any bald spots, go see a dermatologist before it's too late!
Love the two strand twist. I’m glad you were able to restore your hair. As a Trichologist I help women like yourself restore their hair. Therefore I am very cautious in choosing non-toxic products in my salon and clinic. And your right the synthetic hair are not created equal. Best wishes to your continued healthy hair journey
@@TriciaHopeAlive yes your are right. It was a lot of hair to lose around the hair line just in the short 4 weeks. I was concerned if I didn’t take them out I might have loss more.
I love braids and it’s so sad because I had to say goodbye to them many years ago 😢 they look SO flattering but they are too heavy on my hair . Even when she used thin pieces for feed in box braids 😢 it rips my hair out from the roots . The pomade made by a lot of these oriental vendors have toxic ingredients . They are not healthy for the scalp at all
I loved my small knotless braids but had some pretty intense itching and burning from the braiding hair. I had to dunk my head in vinegar water for at least three ten minute sessions. Then later it was only when I wet my hair in the shower and sprayed undiluted vinegar on my hair and scalp did I get complete relief. A doctor on YTB said the synthetic hair it toxic.
The braid styles are lovely but not at the risk of developing a scalp disorder or hair loss.Wow that amount of itching you experienced definitely an allergic reaction I hope your scalp is better now. I did the organic apple cider rinse too once I returned from my vacation. But My scalp continued itching so that night I took them out detox my scalp, shampoo and did blue light therapy. My scalp is starting to feel better.The hair processing is a whole another story that needs uncovering. Best wishes, Take care
Oh wow you do? Hummm I am a 30 yr Master Cosmetologist and a hairloss specialist. It wasn’t an excessive amount however it was more shed hair than I am an accustom too. Me nor my clients lose that amount in a week for sure. I don’t lose that amount in a month. My biggest concern was inflamed scalp and the area of loss where the braids affected my hair. Thanks for your reply

I can't wear any braids at all no matter how loose. My daughter braided my hair to try a simply crochet to cover my thinning, and my scalp hurt so bad then I started feeling bumps and scabs. Took out. I just can't do them anymore. loose flat twists.

That's really not a lot of shed hair.
Typically it's not, but it's where it came from :)

Yes, that was my concern I loss a lot of hair around my hairline. So that’s why I had to say goodbye to braids.
Yes especially with extensions. It's not worth it@@XplicitHairStudioSanDiego
Thank you. I am waiting for your Hair Academy to open. It would be a blessing to have cosmetologists attend your college.
Thank you for always being supportive to the things I do I appreciate you more than you know.
I’m so tender headed, I’ve never been able to wear braids.😔
I can't wear cornrows. I am tender headed too
I lose that amount of hair in a week that’s nothing
Oh wow you do? Hummm

Microlocs has been the best hair decision for me thus far!

Oh wow, did you get your thinning restored?
That's just dead hair and it's not a lot of hair
