Thank you so much I really did need that for my dry skin I just got my hair straightened and I have experiencing dry scalp with a little bit of itching.
Is Witch Hazel okay to put on thinning hair. My hair started thinning when I started bleach/coloring.
Ezema natural cure!
Can you share any tips about what products, if any, or techniques we can try to keep the scalp moisturized on a regular basis? Maybe a video exploring oils, grease, creams use/caution for the scalp?
I came back to this video because I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to keep my scalp mositurized/what things to avoid for scalp health.
Thank you @CurlyChemistry!
Alopecia would be a good topic hun.... thanks for this info
My own hair growth journey of success, I myself adhered to this daily regimen:
Take early morning sunshine every day for essential vitamin D. Consume veggies of various colours. Using paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and gently massaging two times per week with hair oil from litttleextra cooconion. Important to keep in mind that hair growth is affected by general health as well as circulation and nutrition.
Can't tell you how refreshing and amazing it is to see a Black woman teaching natural hair care from a scientific and empirically informed perspective! Amazing videos, thank you! I've never felt more comfortable as both a Black man AND a nerd 😅
What's colour got to do with it? Humans are one and all look different and we don't play their divide game. Please don't think this way.
@@geo_neo9 White people don't have natural hair, do they???
@@geo_neo9 🎻
@@geo_neo9 Your ethnicity determines your hair type. Black people's hair is usually different from other people. This knowledge is generally lost among the blavk community. So, it's good to hear a Black woman with healthy hair talk about it.
@OneManGang What is the problem with him feeling comfortable with his own race? Leave him be. If you are a girl and you have to go to the hospital, you'll feel better with a female doctor than a male doctor. Is all about similarities, he doesn't mean it in a harsh way
I’m a Chemist and this is my first time seeing you so as soon as i saw Chemist’s point of view I clicked SUBSCRIBE asap😂. I’m here for the Science behind it all
Thanks Beverly!! :-)
Beverley marafa what's the science to healthy hair growth I took a couple of strains from my hair my hair stayed at the top of the glassĺ. What does that mean
Same! I'm majoring in Chemistry and found this channel a while ago! It's about time we had someone explaining our type of hair with legit science tbh
Me, too!
@@SherylCurry 👍🏼👍🏼💖🤗💋💝 great job chemist so your a Dr Dr curry💋🤗
Finally someone giving realistic advice and not repeating unrealistic information they heard from somebody else to say on UA-cam
Facts
I literally came across her today and im like where was she all along. I just washed my hair and did PMP 🤣
@@kathy4317, I just found her two days ago and I'm glad that I did!!!
EXACTLY Shanell, they all repeat each other or copy each other and promoting.
An authority speaking from a scientific perspective. YES, I’m unsubscribe to some of them especially the one’s using a thousand ingredients from THEIR channel only!!! 🙏 thank you
Sooo glad I came across your video. Yes, I’m going to subscribe 🤗
Please discuss Menopausal hair, breakage, slow-growing, etc.
Please please 🥺
Yes. I am 59 and my hair grows slowly around the edges
great question, i agree
Omg! Yes! Thank you for suggesting because I definitely could use the info myself.
Great question, good topic. I notice older women's hair is thinner and balding appear in the crown. I'm 59 with about 15% grey hair mostly in the front, rest is very dark black with a strand of grey thruout. My hair is very thick. All if this is due to years of good (not always but got routine now) natural hair, no perms of any kind, no color, infrequent salon visits and wkly or biweekly washes. Some in older generations feel such washes is too much, have had a perm for 10 years maybe more and color grey every other month and frequent salons for this "haircare". As I've aged I have noticed my scalp is more sensitive to some products (ingedients in them?) than before. Black women youtubers that address these topics are rare
I love to see black women (and men) and others with curly hair embracing their natural hair and making it healthy. So beautiful🕊️ I’m a 60 year old white woman with mainly straight hair and just recently started to really focus on hair care, trying to grow out my mostly gray-white hair. It’s breaking and thinning a lot, so would love to learn to fix these problems.
Heyy i recommend, maybe you know this, but still: not brushing hair when wet! Makes a lot of difference for me!
The first day of 2023! I found this sister teaching what seems to be my never-ending search on natural hair care. Scalp, too, needs attention. After watching a few of her videos, there's no need to look further. Thank you!
Thank you wonderful young lady! Your information is always straight to the point with no gimmicks, not selling point and concise. As an older post menopausal woman I’m especially keen on scalp and hair treatment and am working against alopecia never relaxed my hair but stress and tight plaiting definitely culprits. I still have beautiful hair where it’s full but working on where growth is fine and slow. You’re special✨🙏🏿✨😘
When you said “ shampoo is for the scalp and crème or conditioner is for the hair” I really resonated with that cuz I’ve struggled with my curly hair for years and finally figured out that, that works. You just confirmed what seemed to be working out. 😀
But many ppl
Put gels and things like that on their actual hair. At one point, we are all going to need to use a clarifying shampoo on both hair and scalp in my opinion.
It took me a long time to realize this.
Your videos are always so informative. I love that you educate us on not only what to do but, more importantly, WHY we should do what we need to do for healthy hair. Thanks a million!
You’re welcome!! ☺️
@@CurlyChemistry The downside for me is that it is hard to get a lot of the products you mention here in Italy where I live.
This was simplified but packed/backed up with information. I appreciated the education.
Im a guy who's been rocking hair twist for years and needed to hear all of this. Hearing you break down the scalp says it all. Never knew about the witch hazel, nor hemp oil nor dandruff with the acv rinse. Very informative. Subbed!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us freely. Your time & research are greatly appreciated 🙏🏿❤
First, congratulations 👏🏽🎉🎉🎊🎊 on reaching 💯 k! I would like to see a video/s about hair growth and care during pre-menopausal and menopausal phases. Thank you🤗
I literally just finished watching another of your videos and thought I really need to hear from her about scalp care… and then up this popped!! Absolutely perfect for my dry scalp. I’ve just bought some of the Carol’s daughter shampoo. I’ll get some hemp oil and do more steaming and update you with how it’s working. OMG, thank you so much. You are wonderful
This video has helped my scalp and hair health soooo much.... Because of these tips my hair hasn’t been shedding much... Thank you beautiful ❤️✨
Thanks great to hear Brittany! You’re so welcome! ☺️
Mine as well.. I cut my hair off to start over while using the regiments you suggested and now my hair is thriving with minimal shedding between washes. Thank you!
What did you do? Use the shampoo she recommended and apple cider vinegar? What else did you incorporate to see changes?
I 😍😍your channel !!!
I'd like to have you discuss scalp/hair care for people who take him blood pressure and diabetes medications.
Thank you so much, sis !!🌱🌻🌱
Congratulations on 100K, can you talk about scalp detox and/or clays
Thanks a million for all your hard work and all you share to help and promote healthier hair. Xx
Thank you so much! 💜
Girl, you are glowing. The hair, the skin, the makeup, the nails! 😀😍💯
Just discovered you and subbed immediately. So informative. Thank you for helping my curls live their best life. 😊
Another great upload. Can you please talk about scalp detox. Thanks
Great suggestion! I'll add that. :-)
Thank you for asking as I am also interested in this topic!
I appreciate the breakdown and info. Your videos has helped me so much ! For a while, I didn't realize how important it was to look at ingredients in shampoos. I realize with your help from the videos that certain shampoos wasn't for me (contain harsh/toxic ingredients). Thanks. Now, I make my own shampoos with African Black soap or castile soap (mix with other natural ingredients) for my hair/scalp. This is enough to clarify my hair/scalp. Other naturals think that we supposedly use a chelating, sulfate or clarifying store bought shampoos. Anyway, I know better now... If I ever go back to store bought or commercial products, it will be cruelty free, vegan and or organic. Ingredients are important!
So glad I've been able to help!! :-)
Congratulations on 100k ! So well deserved! I love this channel!
Thank you so much!! :-)
I'm a disabled senior citizen and I've always taken good care of my hair. I even went to Beauty School when my beautician retired to learn hair chemistry. I'm pretty careful with my hair. I've NEVER HAD DANDRUFF & although I'm older now, I only have trouble with greying!!! I say trouble because it's the eventuality of every Senior. Life goes on!!! 😳❣️👍
Glad you're talking about the comdengenic scale!. For my high porosity wouldn't sit under the dryer with high porosity hair tho as my cuticle is already open!!
Thank you for keeping it real, honest, short, and to the point while offering knowledge all in one. I'm glad I stumbled across this video. God bless and be well. 🙏
I Love your videos. Would to know more about ACV rinses like when do you do it, the effectiveness etc. Thank You for everything that you teach us about our hair I really appreciate it so much🥰
Oh wow, you made it to 100k,congratulations dear. I wish you all the best. God bless you. Thank you for all the information. 🥰
Thank you so much 🤗
I would like to hear about children hair care and the growth cycle from both to young adults. Texture shift , porosity etc...
Thats a good topic
Oooo that's good! I'll add it. :-)
@@CurlyChemistry and after pregnancy, i swear it changes for the worse 😥😥😥
This would be a really good topic... please do
Would love to hear that too. Especially changes in kids hair during puberty...and any care change needs. Hormonally changes...
Your videos are exactly what I’ve needed to help me figure out the start my products and brand! I can’t stop watching 😍
Thank you video.
Yess! Speak that knowledge into our people we need it!! Thank you 😊
Can you talk about iron deficiency and how it effect our hair?
Low Thyroid
Your hair starts to fall of when you have this deficiency.
Try taking a tablespoon of unsulphered black strap molasses daily. It really helps a lot.
Iron deficiency definitely causes hair loss. See a doctor for iron issues.
This is first UA-cam channel that I've subscribed to.
I’ve had scalp inflammation since I can remember. It’s no flakes. No dandruff. Just a very itchy, often tender in the crown. Once in a while I feel bumps but I’m thinking I’ve scratched/irritated the scalp as I rub it to get relief from the tenderness .
Take turmeric for inflammation
Thank You so much for all of your advice I will definitely start doing what you suggested for dry scalp. I will definitely tell my daughter about what you said about dandruff. Thank You so so much for your advice.🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️💐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I must say that your on to the point teaching is amazing. I feel like what i learned from 8 minutes of this video, i learned from few hours from other youtube videos.
I would love to see a video ranking different oils on the comodogenic scale.
I love all of your great tips and I definitely use acv rinses mixed with tea tree oil for itchy scalp, as well as for a scalp/product buildup cleanser!! But I must try witch hazel!!💖🙏🏼🙏🏼
🎉 Congratulations on 100k. You are a heaven sent. 💖Thanks soooooo much for giving us explanations on the hair and scalp. 🎶🌹🌈
You are so welcome! Thank you!! :-)
I have been searching for this information far an wide. Thank you so much so helpful!
I always use witch hazel for my face but never thought to use it for my scalp. Thanks for the tip!
Great information & I’m washing my hair Sunday ( consistant wash day) my scalp will be itching Sunday morning 😂. Thank you as always
It's so refreshing to see a woman, especially of color, who understands our issues, describing and teaching us how to effectively treat our scalp. This is exactly what I needed. Hairdressers never tell you anything about caring for your hair, even when they see that it's damaged. May God bless you for what you do and please continue the good work. Even my dermotoligist is of little use. I get more from your videos than I get from him, after paying so much and receiving such little advice. I'm going to tell everyone about you.😊
Ok, this video has been one of THE MOST informative and well-researched I have seen in a long time. Your content is always wonderful. I’m just going to say anything and everything hair and skin care related and I will soak it up. Thank you, Lovely Lady! ❤️
I've been waiting for this. I struggle so much with having a clean healthy scalp. most of the time I wash my hair only to realize it's still dirty the day after or it's overly dry, but (i also struggle with dandruff). This helped a lot. thanks ( : Can you do a video on how having previously relaxed or permed hair can affect your scalp? I think that's why I struggle so much with scalp care.
Any issues you may have..try a sugar detox. First week, the dying-off yeast in your body will release toxins..alcohols...to try and get you to cave and eat sugar..buy cake...eat potato chips, etc. Your mouth will coat with sweet, yeast, tasting saliva and you will even break out since the toxins are releasing through your skin. If you can survive the yeast trying their hardest to Not die off (they eat and multiply overgrowing inside your body by feasting on sugar) week two..you will see improvements. We are addicted to sugar that is stronger to leave than cocaine. If you go sugarless for months, I bet you'll see several health issues start to reverse. Even ones that your doctor told you are permanent. Sounds stupid but Real talk. Dandruff is basically an out of control yeast infection on your scalp..gross I know. That's why when you scratch your scalp and then smell your fingers afterwards, it smells like fresh bread.. sweet and full of yeast 🤢 People of color, need to jump on this sugar detox bandwagon-thyroid issues, fibroids, polyps, dandruff, etc. All of this is the result of eating too much sugar all day everyday in everything we consume. The toxins from this yeast overgrowth over the years, even causes cancers. I thought this might help. Just like we can be allergic to dairy and nuts, we are hugely allergic to sugar too.
Also, when I used to have a perm, I noticed my dandruff to be a big problem as well. I no longer have a perm and my hair and scalp feel much healthier. And my dandruff is very minimum now. If I spot any dandruff it's due to not moisturizing my scalp. But, what I did to curb my dandruff was invest in tea tree shampoo, rosemary oil and a scrub brush that you can purchase from any hair supply shop. All the best!
Scalp scrub is v important💫💜 Best to do a scalp scrub, with a decent product at least once or twice a month (it doesn't hv to be an expensive brand, although the best I found was on QVC, Tweak'd by Nature & it wasn't cheap - but an inexpensive brand will do as long as its not too sharp grained - use scalp scrub to remove all build up. Rosemary oil twice a week can help too, & cutting down sugar.🙏💜)
@@user-vp8oz1pj9c you are a real nigga on my soul now i know why tf i been having that shit
You literally solved ALL of my problems with my daughters scalp. She has an extremely dry dandruff producing scalp, only in her interior area.
That’s amazing! I’m glad I can help. ☺️
She did the same for my son hair when I say dandruff that just won’t stop producing once I started using apple cider vinegar and tea trea oil it’s literally gone !!!!!!!
@@Kollextionm in what order do you use these? Please and thank you.
@@Calinotch06 you’d dilute acv and rinse your scalp with it, then apply tea tree as your hair is drying
@@jess-tp8xk thanks
What an informative video, as such I've not seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much for explaining these scalp issues.. something I've trying to treat for a long time. This is my first time here and you better believe I've subscribed.
THANK YOU!!!
Shalom.
Thank you for this great video! I always learn so much when I watch your videos. I have my own little UA-cam channel and I constantly reference your channel to make sure I am giving the best advice. I always look forward to your videos. 😄
Thank you for stewarding your gift so well! Can you please assist with recommendations and experimenting with grease vs oils for healthy hydrated low porosity scalp care? Which brands? and how often to apply directly to the scalp? With much gratitude, blessings ❤️
Thank you so much!!! After menopause my hair has thinned. So I hope this will help me too!
I love the fact that you did a video about scalp health know I'm late to the party on this one but I'm glad I found it everybody talks about hair if your scalp isn't healthy or clogged the hair will not grow out of it thank you so much for inviting all of us .and specially me LOL about scalp heath I knew a lot of the stuff you were talking about but it's nice to know that somewhat of what I'm thinking is true
Awesome video. Very helpful. I'll be subscribing. Thank you for sharing.
I'm interested in hearing more about topics like hairloss post pregnancy and the differences and treatment options between dandruff and psoriasis.
I love hemp seed oil! Definitely an under rated scalp oil. Thank you for making informative videos🧡
I was going to buy hemp seed oil but a lady on UA-cam said it gave her dizzy spells! So it's a no for me!
@@cindychristian1700 Her experience is her experience, it does not have to be your experience. Everyone has his/her own journey. Elementary 101.
@@Ir-of4zn I said it was a no for "ME!" But since the lady who had the dizzy spells was older like me I'm erring on the side of caution. That's not elementary 101 but just good old common sense!
@@cindychristian1700 Yeah, she is old and has metabolic disorder...she probably suffer from high blood pressure. Anyway, using good ole common sense is best for you.

That's the first thing I noticed
Love this video. I think it's very important to take care of your scalp ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I suffer from dandruff and always on the look out got something that would actually help. Will try these out. Would love to hear about hair growth oils or things to help hair growth.
Congrats on 100,000 subbies!
Hi love! As always, this was an amazing video! You're the best! I would definitely love to see a scalp health video on issues such as scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc! 🙂
Hey! I would look at the solutions in this video for those conditions especially seborrheic dermatitis.
Your content is soooo helpful!
Thank you so much! Could you share anything you have on postpartum shedding/care please!
This video is great! You are absolutely spot on I use all these products except the hemp seed. Thank you.
Can you please make a video talking about the use of hair gels, what certain ingredients we should avoid when using hair gels etc❤️
Please TALK ABOUT hair LOSS around EDGES and THE SCALP.
Thank you.
This is exactly what I’m going through at the moment! I am struggling to find a gel/pomade to control my baby hairs as I have found the pomade I was using caused heavy build up in my hair. I am lost trying to find a product and there’s not much information about this problem!!
@@sashapalma2033 There was a GEL that I used YEARS ago. PURPLE RAIN. It was a "Healthy" gel. No flaking, no buildup. You would have to order it ONLINE now. I purchased it by the BOX yrs ago. I'm wearing a wig, now,so I don't worry so much about baby hair. Try it. You'll like it. I need the hair in my TEMPLES to grow. I see something coming, just want to help it come faster. Lol
@@sashapalma2033 Hello, try TGIN edge control. It’s fairly light weight, but it does the job on holding down edges.
I would love to know more about scalp care while your hair is in box braids or other protective styles. The oils sometimes break me out so wondering how often I should be doing it and the other solutions are liquidy so will mess with the integrity of the style. Thanks for being so informative. I learn so much here.
You can shampoo your hair with braids in.
It’s the education for me! Excellent video thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, new sub!
Thank you so much for this information because I have really dry scalp and dandruff really bad. I’m definitely going to try the oil mix
Amazing video! Could you do one about ingrown hairs on the scalp. I’ve tried so much and it would be great to have your advice! Thank you 🤗
First time doing an ACV rinse on my hair. I must say I had a lot of curl definition🥰, which I have not seen in a long time. And I finally discovered my moisture cycle. It’s every 3 days, at the most. Thank you so much sister Curly Chemistry🤩
Thank you for the knowledge you are sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
Always so informative thank you for the knowledge
How do you suggest creating and maintaining a healthy scalp routine?
i.e. Is daily brushing the hair necessary for healthy scalp and hair and is it necessary to oil the scalp to keep it and your hair healthy? Does massaging the scalp stimulate hair growth? Thank you for your content and expertise 💜
VISITED: 11: 15 AM.
5 /19 /2021.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
KEEP ON BLESSING YOURSELF BY BLESSING US @ AMEN.
As a bald man on a journey to regrow, and recondition my hair to grow all over my head - especially in the front - this information is priceless! I'd like to know how do the ACV rinse, and I'm also interested to know if the needle type derma rollers are damaging for the scalp. I've been using one for about two months on my scalp, and I've honestly have stimulated alot more growth than I have previously. Anyway, THANK U!
I just put witch hazel on my hair today. Yes it does feel so moisturizing. I put a little bit of baking soda, mixed it with witch hazel..and sprayed it..I massaged it in and it was so soothing. Then I applied peppermint oil on my scalp. I detangled and applied almond oil on the length of my hair and braided it. I love the feeling of the peppermint oil on my scalp.
I would like to hear about what to do if you have a scalp that is sore. I don’t have any of the issues in the video but sometimes if I press on my scalp it feels sore after sometimes. Great content. Had to pause to pull out my notebook.
Maybe use a massager? I also had a sore scalp but after using a massager I don't have it anymore. If it doesnt help and its very bad see a doctor?
Massage with your finger tips gently it helps ALOT
Hell yeah I learned something new! Love this videos. I would love to hear your views on alopecia
I could just cry right now from happiness!!! I have been looking for answers to why my hair is the way it is and what could be causing it and I just stumbled along one of your other videos which I liked and decided to Subscribe, # BESTCHOICEEVER . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and every item you described except for the Carol's Daughter Shampoo I already have here at home because I'm trying to help both mine and my 13 yr old daughters hair to grow. Stay blessed and thank you again. I'm gonna start doing these things immediately to help our hair.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! 💜💜
I would very match that you would do a video about oiling the scalp , you are amazing !😘
I would live to see a video on how to thicken thin hair. How to increase the density.
Viviscal Pro has helped me significantly. Even growing more baby hair and eyelashes....for real. However, I also had to step up my management of hypothyroidism and anemia. These have to be ruled out as possible contributing factors.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I’m curious to know your thoughts on shampoo bars.
Thank you, I Appreciate you videos. your videos/information fills a niche for many.
Thank you thank you thank you🙏🙏, you are continuing to grace us with your knowledge and wisdom to help us on this hair care journey...may God continue to bless you
Love the video! I was wondering if you can do a video on chebe and which version works the best and the different benefits for the powder, oil, butter, cream or using it as a shampoo and conditioner.
I deal with dry scalp and started using the indian clay mask mixed with organic ACV, aloe vera juice, tea tree oil, and onion/ginger juice. So far, so good. I've noticed less itching, less dandruff, and less breakage.
I had dandruff as a teen for a few years. I always thought it was because I had a full, thick head of curly hair and that my gel and hair products were the cause. I also lived in a tropical climate so I figured it was just natural that I'd have to suffer from dandruff. My brother and dad also had bits of dandruff so, eh, no biggie, right? Well, fast forward a few years and I developed full blown dry scalp. It was ugly, always on my shoulders and a horror show to anyone who came close enough. Embarrassing, but eventually I accepted it as part of me and didn't care anymore. Only problem is that it's so hard to live with it when it gets itchy and flares up!
Now, after years of suffering and trying damn near everything, I did a bit of research and a bit of experimentation and I can safely say that now I believe it's caused by a fungus.
The first thing that helped me alleviate my dry scalp symptoms was tea tree infused shampoo. I never sought professional help, but a hair stylist once sold me on her product to help me take care of my scalp. I bought tea tree oil too, but the oil by itself did not work to cure or lessen the dry scalp, it only soothed the itching. Anywho, I was hooked on the shampoo for the last 2 or so years but my scalp would only ever be clean for about 24 hours if that much, 48 hrs MAX in a good week.
Eventually, another hair stylist recommended an anti-fungal ointment that wasn't available near me, so I decided to try a ketoconazole shampoo. I stumbled upon the ingredient through research and partly by random luck! The shampoo is easily available in Guyana (where I was at the time) and it's cheap, so I tried it and for the first time in YEARS it cured my scalp. I am still using it because I notice if I go too many days without washing my head will become greasy, sweaty and itchy, and I just feel gross and want to wash it. In some instances the dry scalp comes back but I think that's because I'm still in the early stages of curing it and I am not consistent with my treatments. If you use the ointment itself you will probably get better results, but I am using a shampoo and I am always in the gym and live a very active, busy lifestyle, so the shampoo is the best method for me right now.
I also implemented new things to help reduce the spread of fungus/bacteria. Now, I comb my hair with a cheap comb I can throw away afterwards so the comb didn't pick up and trap the fungus. If I don't toss it, I'll be reintroducing fungus to my head the next time I use that comb. I also use a fresh towel and toss it in the wash afterwards. Changing my pillow case frequently is important too, and using clean hair ties as well. Basically you need to treat it like if you had lice. You would avoid hats you've worn when you had lice, you wouldn't lay in the pillow with your lice head and use it again once its cured, or use the same towel multiple times. If you can envision fungus as a living thing spreading everywhere that your hair and scalp makes contact with, you'd get an idea of how to treat it and what to do to keep your environment fresh and fungus-free.
invest in an anti-fungal shampoo and wash your hair often (like 4 times a week on avg) and use fresh tools each time, until you eventually permanently fix the scalp. An anti-fungal ointment would be better! But I am not a medical doctor so please do your own research before taking my advice.
My HOPE is that it will go away on its own eventually, but I only recently discovered this shampoo & method and I know now that it WORKS for. me.
SO I am sharing in hopes that you or any other person suffering from dry scalp can find some relief as well. xx

Hi Miss Curly Chemistry, I came across your channel while searching for something else and I'm glad I did. While there are a lot of videos with information on how to take care of our natural hair. I find that not many have the education to back their claims. I have a problem with dandruff and will try the witch hazel for my scalp. I can't use the tea tree oil because I have tried it in the past and it caused my scalp to itch really bad and burn. Thank you for this information.
Thank you. Your info was displayed very well… straight to the point but also gave some of the details of why these various methods can help our hair
You’re welcome!
Thanks for another informative video❤️❤️Can you please do a video on traction alopecia and other types of hair loss issues.
Yes please it would be a good topic to discuss!!
I have thinning around my edges and I am sure scalp health is key to stimulating my hair to regrow. I would be interested in methods to regrow the hairline.

I would love to see a video on traction alopecia and how to reverse if it’s not too late and when to know it’s too late
Great topic! I'll add it. :-)
@@billybobleeward3765 THANK YOU! I actually stop wearing tight hairstyles in July 2019 and unfortunately the hair in my temples has not grown back yet, so I really wanted to get her perspective
@@ChimereTrielle I suffered through this pretty much my whole life. From age of 4 to 21, I lived in tight buns and brades 24/7. Nobody stopped me as non of my family knew what traction alopecia was. When my hair began thinning as a teen, no one knew why. This was in mid 2000s so I didn't have a phone so internet was limited. It's only when I googled "why does my hair keep falling" in 2018 that I finally learned about the years of damage my tight hairstyles had caused.
I'm 25 now and my hair is starting to grow back slowly. It's been 4 years and I still have a long way to go. I just want to say it's never too late, as long as you have breath in your lungs, it's never too late to fix the damage. You just gotta be patient :)
