The lack of water and proper nutrition will cause thinning as well. Now that I have a fit lifestyle, workout habitually, and have a healthy nutrition regimen… my hair is flourishing.
I suggest a puff cuff. It’s for our hair type and gives us that beautiful puff without the headache of a ponytail holder. Save this and thank me later.
Wow as a Licensed Cosmetologist whose done a lot of research in my life.I had no idea that inflammation affects your scalp.. I knew that it's the primary cause for every disease in the body, but never equated it to the scalp...What an Ah ha moment. This makes so much sense.. I've been guilty of leaving my scarf on too long as well. Thank you for the extensive research you do and the animated way you present it sets you apart out here in this social media hair game.. Great job!!!!
The way to combat this is to strengthen your kidneys and liver. The inflammation is caused by stagnant lymph fluid. (lymph is the body's sewer system, it carries cellular waste and other waste away to be eliminated by the kidneys) When your waste system is backed up, (through years of wear and tear and stress caused by a diet of processed food, drugs and alcohol) The lymph fluid that transports the cell trash (otherwise known as pus) begins to find other ways of elimination. Pus is essentially white blood cells that have eaten either bacteria, viruses, hormones (like DHT) or simply cell waste that then die, and must be eliminated by the body. acne, eczema, rashes, ect. occur because the body will begin to store the acidic waste in areas of the body that are the least detrimental to store it. when it isnt being eliminated properly by your kidneys. (Its not gonna let that waste sit near your vital organs) It will begin to store this waste within tissues, this is why people get cysts, (I know you've seen those pimple popping videos) arthritis and many other inflammatory conditions (any disease that ends in "itis" means inflammation) Your Scalp is another place the body will store these acidic wastes, which will over time cause inflammation and weaken the hair follicles. To combat this you must go to the root of the problem which is a overloaded lymphatic system, which is caused by weakened kidneys and liver. A way to check is by collecting a sample of your pee in a clear glass, ( yeah ik its nasty) let it sit for about 12 hours, and check to see if there is any cloudy sediment settled at the bottom, if there is it means your kidneys are doing their job and eliminating the waste from your lymphatic system, but if the urine is clear, with no sediment, it means your kidneys are backed up, weak and not processing the waste through your urine as they should.
Everything I've ever read about kidney function and urine quality indicated that urine should be clear or pale yellow - to indicate no gunk remains in the body/bloodstream. I think that seeing sediment 24hrs later, had I been checking that many hours later, would've had me running to the doctor in a panic! So, your statement about the sediment in urine after 24hrs, is very interesting (and I believe you); the idea of it leaves me both freaked out, and amazed. 🤯
@@70Sapphires Tell me, how does clear urine indicate no “gunk” is in the body? If the urine is clear, where is the waste then? If anything that just tells me that that waste isn’t filtering out like it should. It is the job of the kidneys to eliminate the waste brought to it by the lymphatic system. So if you aren’t seeing that waste in your urine; (you see it clearly when it manifest as acne and cysts and exits through your skin) I think it’s safe to reason there is an issue there. Here are some examples of others who have gotten their kidneys to function properly though fasts and healthy dieting ua-cam.com/video/LXicFYXOY6E/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/nph3HPg6a6g/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/kaqmJQU9L9M/v-deo.html
Wow thank you for such amazing information I don’t know who you are but your information is insightful and very educational I will try this 💕Yahwo again thank you
UPDATE, I want to say thank you for responding to my previous message. I was at a very emotional state. But I'm here to say my hair is growing back and thicker and healthier. I can stop crying now. A combination of DIY rice water a few times, clove water with rosemary oil. Also, lack of Vitamin D is what was happening. From the bottom of my heart thank you! I wish you nothing but success!!!
Another one is not to let someone braid ur hair and apply edge control all over the hair as they part and braid. That will clog ur hair follicles and creates a waxy build up. Thank u for ur wonderful informative videos. 💯
yesssssssss!!!!! im so over it. what happened to braiding and cause you can braid the hair actually lays. sigh. besides half those picture are filtered too.
@@Jenw. to clarify. back in the day we didn't use all that to hold braids just braided and the hair laid well. i also came to the realization that many of the pictures posted has a filter on them. like the make up pages i followed. So people slap sooo much product on the scalp and hair but there is no real need for all of that. in the end it does clog the follicles in the short term yes it looks amazing in the long term it can cause problems.
@@sheamoniquedaniel1824 oh okay gotcha. Yea I do remember in the early 2000s ppl didn't really use jam on the scalp for braids. And edge control wasn't even a thing back then. & that's so interesting about the filter over pics. I believe it too bc in person, so many ppl don't be having their parts sleek like the pics be lol.
I'm here because I am suffering from hair loss and thinning. It's effecting my self image. I'm biracial USED to have thick curly hair. 1st I noticed my curls were not as curly. 2nd my thickness started to fade. 3rd hair started to fall out. No medical issues. Crying as I type because I feel there's no hope. I have no idea what to do. Thank you for creating your page for people like me. The calmness of your voice makes it easier with this topic. It's not really discussed in our community. One Love
Hello, I understand how stressful hair loss can be especially if you don’t know the cause and what to do about it. The process you described definitely sounds like a health issue. Health can be confusing b/c there are so many test and so many diagnoses out there. Sometimes you need to just ignore all the noise and look within. Have you ever tried fasting? Fasting is a great way to give your body a break from digesting food so it can literally heal its self. Over time, it also cleans out your intestines so they can absorb nutrients and minerals better. I also suggest you try meditating and picking up a hobby whose purpose is JUST for enjoyment. Stress is a real issue in this “developed world” and stress is often the root cause to all types of health issues. The path to health does not have to be complicated, you just have to prioritize putting yourself first. Pick yourself up and sit on your throne b/c I see from your tone and profile picture that you are beautiful.
@@GreenBeauty you nailed it. stress and stress. I just ordered Dr Sebi book of fasting. So I will follow your suggestion. your energy is insane! TY for the universe for bring your channel to me! Like I said before this topic is not discussed enough. I'll give you updates trying the rice water tonight to start it off.
This video couldn’t have come at a better time 😭 my hair’s been thinning and i was so confused why. Lo and behold, ive been doing everything on this list as my hair has been getting longer and ive been experimenting 😭 guess i still have to be patient
I have had low density hair AND fine strands since birth. Btw, my hair is healthy. People keep telling me of ways to thicken my hair and it gets tiring. ❤️Love your video and usefull info. .
@@GreenBeauty looking forward to this. I love twists, but I've noticed thinning around my edges where I usually do my parts sọ I've taken a break, but I miss my twists
@@GreenBeauty This would be so awesome! I have sisterlocks and have kept them shoulder length to prevent tension and thinning; yet, the thinning at top has started. I did a few apple cider vinegar scalp detoxs and do not tighten my hair all at once; with the top where the thinning is, done last and not to the scalp. None of my hair is tightened to the scalp. There is improvement and growth, thank goodness. This weekend I had intended to take out my sisterlocks and switch to mini 2-strand twists. Have to admit, I really do no want to take out my sisterlocks but I want to stop the thinning completely. I cancelled my appt for this weekend and then came across this video. Thank you for your much much needed content. Blessings~
Another one is maintaining the pH of your scalp. I've used products that my scalp simply just doesn't care for. Most store-bought shampoos and conditioners drive my scalp crazy and will have me itching until my next wash. So I just make all my hair products now. It is still trial and error because what works for my scalp today may not work forever.
You have been educating on hair care for some years now, and you never disappoint. Thank you for being an advocate for black natural hair care, especially the videos on hair loss and thinning.
Foreign objects in hair can cause inflammation like hair accessories:hair pens, hair clips, headbands, etc. I try to use a scrunchie to protect my ends, but it's tied on loosely. Always informative. Thanks ❤️
I want to add that the sun is a heat source, and just because a little is good for you, even if you don't actually burn, your scalp skin will get rough and leathery just like you see less melaninated people's facial skin getting as they age. I discovered this only recently when I discovered a thinning hair area at the back top of my head and realized it's where my wide brimmed sun visor I wear each day to walk the dog was leaving my hair exposed to the sun. I liked the hat because not having a top, it fit around my big head of hair, but now I've had to make the effort to find some men's fishing hats that don't look too masculine to wear instead. I hope I caught it in time and that that area of my scalp can recover.
A lightbulb went off when you mentioned hooded dryers. My scalp has been extremely sore & sensitive & I had to see a doctor recently bcuz a bump came up & turned into an abcess. I never would have linked the hooded dryer to the issue & think this may be the cause bcuz I wash my hair every week. I'm so glad I found this video, definitely will stop using the dryer to see if it may be the cause. Thank you.
Oh boy, you did it again 👏🏽! I’m just gonna say this, I sometimes avoid viewing your videos because I’m not ready for the truth 😒 (ya’ll know it hurts…don’t judge me, lol). However, I absolutely LOVE ❤ your KNOWLEDGE and the VISUALS you give! Please KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT work and helping us out! I am already WL but applying your well tested knowledge with help me flourish!
Exactly. I had to buy an iron/zinc/folic acid vit recommended by my Doc and I've doubled my protein consumption after a recent miscarriage and month-long illness.
Having a problem with low thyroid levels can also cause hair loss. I'm experiencing some hair loss around my temple area, this video has given me hope that I can do something about it, now that it's in the early stage. Thank you!
My hair started thinning and I just thought it was stress. It kept thinning to the point where I was able to see the scar from my brain surgery, and that’s when I talked to my doctor. Test showed that I had hypothyroidism. It is so hard for me to keep my hair moisturized, but aloe vera and a water oil mixture have been helping.
@@pri_shay_dior may I ask what did you do to get fuller hair? I am supposed to be hypothyroid since I had a partial thyroidectomy, but some how I am still hyper.🤷🏾♀️
It was iron for me too. What help me was dandelion tea, nettle and burdock root. I also eat quinoa, fonio and kale. My hair is finally growing back thicker and stronger.
I have dreadlocks. Putting my hair up before I go in the shower, even if I do it loosely, does put tension on my scalp. I didn't realize it until I had kept it up all day and realized parts of my scalp was sore once I finally let my hair down. I freeform, so with as much as my hair crisscrosses between locs, it's actually bad to force them to lay where they don't naturally lay or the tension is a lot more intense.
Why is she so amazing ♥️ this channel is perfect, informative, professional, educational, and just downright classy! This video is about loving your hair, not restricting it, and letting it be in its beautiful free natural state
You are right I always put on my bonnet without allowing my hair to breath ,I noticed that my scalp was inflamed and the pain was unbearable I thought maybe it was from the product I used,I decided to allow my scalp and hair to breath now the pain is gone
Very informative. Thank you for sharing. My thinning came from declining hormones and stress. Still trying to recover but I’m not sure my hair will ever be the same. 😫
Can you do a video on low tension hairstyles. I do braids and twist with my natural hair all the time because it easier to deal with and makes it “presentable” for my work environment. The front of my hair is thinning and I think tension is the main culprit in my case.
Awesome video. Another one is hormonal imbalance. This isn't my video so I won't go indept. You can study how hormones affect hair. Mine hit me again during premenopause. I use maca,video internally. I use myo d chiro inositol at first, that worked great. I use herbs now for the hair like nettle,horsetail and even seamoss. I hugely switched my diet to 75%plants so I've been good.
Wow wow wow, l have been watching your videos one after the other! I love how you explain, l have learnt a lot today. I was actually thinking of staying away from mini braids cause every time when l do them , l do them tight🙄 Green beauty May God richly bless you for this. Suffocating the scalp is the big one. I wash my scalp 3 times a week and my hair is flourishing. Well l use a hooded dryer , uhmm l don’t know whether l should stop🧐
If you must use a blow dryer to dry your hair , use the cool setting. It does take a little bit longer to dry but it’s totally worth it. Good Luck on your hair journey!
Thank you for this ❤ I think having a dirty or dry scalp is harmful. Since I've kept mine regularly cleaned and moisturized with light, anti-inflammatory, noncomedogenic (non pore-clogging) oils, I've had significant reduction in inflammation and improvement in hair growth and strand thickness.
This is good information. I find that the light-weight conditioners are not enough for my hair and I tend to prefer heavy creams. I don't apply product directly to my scalp but I usually try to get it as close to the scalp as possible to cover the hair near the roots. From now on, I'll make sure to start applying from one inch away. I will also give up super hot water to wash my hair
Yeah, I'm same. I like super hot water in general, but will tone it down. The thing with creams is that they melt so don't stay where we put them, so I too think adding more distance between the scalp is wise. The thing that makes it ok I think is that the first inch of hair is new hair anyway, so the healthiest hair of all. It also is the first lubricated by our natural sebum. So if we can accept puffier hairdos, due to the roots not lying flat, the hair will be fine there with no product. Here's hoping anyway!
Thank you, sis!! Wonderfully made video, clearly explained!! TMH took His time when He created us!! Everything about us, He made special: our hair, eyes, skin, teeth - all that makes us who we are!!💯
Your videos are really helpul thank you i'm 14 years old and i'm trying to take care of my 4c hair (i'm shoulder lenght btw). I just use shea butter, oil and water for my hair. I'm thinking about using aloe vera because our home is filled with it :D what do you think ?
I agree! Since I’ve been getting knotless braids and they slather an excessive amount of braiding gel on my hair, it has destroyed my scalp! The tension on top of suffocating my hair follicles has been detrimental. I’ve experienced extreme thinning especially with the removal/detangle process. I know hair sheds after being in a protective style but it seems closer to falling out
I take pumpkin seed oil supplements for my inflammation. It works!!! I also make sure I take my iron supplements separately as iron need to be taken alone bcuz I have anemia. I also make sure to take vitamin D3 bcuz this was the reason why my hair was breaking at the ends as I was vitamin d3 deficient. Thanks sis for this awesome video. You know your sh*t. 🥰
Definitely looking forward to your hibernation method since my hair has lost some of it's bulk due to me over wrapping my hair for a heatless stretch over time
Another thing to add: Either stop wearing weave or start washing it, because it’s nasty and has plenty of harmful chemicals(mostly found in pesticides) in it, I’ve seen a shop cause balding in about 6 women just bc the weave brought to them was nasty.
I love your videos but I have to say doing some of these things have helped me grow my hair and maintain it's health. Especially using my steamer when deep conditioning. I'm low porosity and it's helped me with moisture retention so much! My hair was chronically dry until I started using it. Now I can use lighter moisturizers and actually still have moisturized hair longer than 2 days. I will take most of this into account and use the methods you recommended, but I can't give up my steaming sessions.
I started to lose my hair in my mid twenties, and by 27 it was very obvious. I have a lot of thick and dense hair, so it was upsetting. I eventually figured out that by reversing the cowlick that my childhood barber had trained into my hairline, I could bring my hair back. So now I've regained most of the hair I had lost, and my hairline is recovering. I was really surprised. That's when I realized just how much movement your hair follicles have. I was developing a bald spot on my crown. And as I grew my hair out while reversing the cowlick, the hair rushed back into the crown area, making it thick again. I had little to no re-growth in the region. The hair simply become thicker, more deeply rooted, and moved back into place. I have photographic proof of it too. Pretty shocking, right??? Great videos, thank you for this channel! Keep up the good work, it really shows.
@@GreenBeauty I suppose not all cowlicks are natural. And the non-natural types can be removed from your hair, given the right technique. It's seems that it's a part of hair and scalp care that don't receive all that much attention.
@@evetamasawe3150 It's when a specific section of your hair has roots that are extremely stiff for some reason. These roots refuse to move in any real way and therefore receive less blood flow and sebum. This section of hair usually refuses styling and other types of manipulation, and stays stuck in one position all the time.
I'm seriously trying to grow out my edges 😫 It's been same way for years. Funny thing is that my hair keeps growing and getting fuller but my scalp just doesn't despite how much I've been avoiding tension. Growing edges is just too tricky 😭
@@amb7412 ua-cam.com/video/BeGHTSSgCC4/v-deo.html This is just the first video I found. I recommend making D.I.Y.s if you're natural, if you don't already. But clove can be found in your grocery store "spices" section. They are an expensive spice, maybe $10+. I also recommend looking into fenugreek and tea rinses/sprays that you can make yourself too. I make a batched spray with vegetable glycerin and aloe powder and my hair is just so juicy. They help prevent shedding. Lastly I might add use bottled water to make your diys, it makes a big difference way better than tap water. Sorry for the unsolicited advice but I hope this reaches you well. Take care.
@@amb7412 you can make it easily. Just use distilled water, and organic whole cloves. I boil the water, about 12 oz, and add 2 tbsp of organic whole cloves. Let it simmer about 15-20 mins, then I let mine sit about 12 hours minimum to ensure I'm getting all the nutrients out of them as possible. Strain into a bottle and you're ready to use! I do the same thing with fresh rosemary. Same amount of water, but a whole container of fresh organic rosemary that you get from the produce section.
My hair is fine and easily mattes up especially at the roots and leaving my roots loose, though better for tension purposes, encourages the matting smh. Can anyone relate? Can I just cut it all off and still be beautiful? I envy men who easily have that as an option when hair isn't working in their favor 😭
I have your type of hair too. I keep mine moisturized, and braided. I stopped washing it too frequently and I leave it alone and covered. I wear satan colorful sleep caps from Amazon on it., even after the pandemic restrictions have lessen.I still rest my hair. It has really flourish. Good Luck.
@@amb7412 same here. I wash, deep condition with a steamer, LCO, and put cornrows in my hair every 2-3 weeks. I use so many auyervedic DIYs and mix auyervedic ingredients in commercial products as well. It's caused my hair to just about double it growth monthly. I keep my hair tied up or in a bonnet 95% of the time because I'm disabled and stay home 95% of the time. My hair's doing so much better, and I'm loving it!
My hair grows quickly but will matte up fuse together if I leave my braids or crochet in to long. I use warm water mixed w apple cider vinegar & finger detangle the matted knotted hair. I recently started making fresh Rosemary water & Rosemary oils that helps a lot. Fresh Aloe plant gel & Seamoss gel softens my hair as well. (I use UA-cam Tutorials regularly for all the above)
Can't believe I've been missing out on your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on a platform that is accessible to anyone with a computer. I truly adore you.
My hair is thinning and I stopped dying and increased my iron intake. I also bought hemp shampoo and conditioner. I don't wear bonnets or wigs, I may wear knotless braids once every two years. Normally my hair is in a wash n go. The only other thing it could be is that I put cream on from the roots to the tip of my hair every wash day. It may be clogging or irritating my scalp.
Are there any other low tension styles that you could recommend other than twists? I want to take care of my hair but also I want my natural hair to look nice. Often I opt for a wig when my hair looks old, but I don’t want to keep doing that.
for some reason I always thought tension would grow my hair by causing more blood flow to the hair follicles making my hair grow faster in an attempt to loosen said tension. funny how such logical reasoning can be so flawed 😅😂 thanks for the re-education ❣️
Thank youuu!♥️✨✨I can’t get enough of your videos. I’ll definitely pay more attention to inflammation because my scalp tends to get inflamed easily but usually aloe vera helps. Hopefully I’ll have less inflammation after this
My scalp is sore all the time especially if I put any type oil on it. I had no idea it’s inflamed and the oils were making it worse. I use leave in conditioners and anytime it touched my scalp it would hurt. Im to the point where I’m getting injections on my scalp. It feels so good. It’s almost like I have a whole new scalp but it wears off. If I wash my hair I get a relief for a day or so. The hair on my crown is completely gone and the thinning is spreading to the front. I’ve tired everything but nothing has worked. I did have gut issues all my life to where I wasn’t digesting food I ate. That’s getting better now. Found out I had low stomach acid.
I just thought about you and boom I get to see a new video🧡 Recently my hair has been breaking a lot and I don't get to retain length I've decided to increase my moisturizing game I hope it works 😩
My hair was doing fine until I started using a lot of these DIY remedies. They've really upset my scalp. I'm now shedding about 20% more hair than normal and have an itchy scalp that's very quickly gets build up after washing. This is even though I haven't used any remedy for nearly 2 weeks. One remedy (amla) seemed fine. When I started to add others (so much for them working better in combination) my scalp got very unhappy. I'm thinking of trying clay to calm it down and if that doesn't work I'm a bit stuck. You mentioned to avoid heat. My scalp seems to like sweating in saunas and hot baths at the moment. It seems to help.
I haven't even watched this yet but I already gave this video a thimbs up, why? Because the informacould not have come at a better time. My hair started thinning just a bit and instead of becoming depressed I'm determined to get to the root of the problem. My wedding is in Jily so I have 8 weeks to try and figure out what's going on. Thank you so much for the research you put into your videos.
Being 42 and one day I decided to let my hair do its own thing. My method was and is simple. I was never a fan of weaves, wigs, or any kind of extra hair on mine but maybe once a year I would get braids. My hair was a shoulder length bob even all around May 2020, in June I said well in the summertime is when I can keep my hair the most wet/moist so I took on the plant method because I was gardening at the time and maybe it was God telling me hey keep it simple, ❤️ plants grow with moisture and if you don't water your plants they die. So keep your hair moist all the time and it will grow. I washed my hair Sunday with the same brand of shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, and scalp/growth oil for my hair and that's it. I brushed my hair up in a bun and left it til Thursday take it down do a quick wash/rinse and back up again and I did that until November 2020 because the weather was starting to cool here in Florida. My hair was at mid back (top of bra strap line ☺️) when I straightened it out. So if my hair was covered with a wig or braids or a weave I'm wondering if it would have grown as much?! I haven't been to a salon in over 10 years and haven't cut split ends since idk. ☺️ Blessings to you all on your journey with your hair. My hair is about 21 inches now and I havent changed anything.
I'd like to know too... air drying or blow dry? I get very bad headaches whenever my scalp is dump and my hair takes ages to airdry (unless it's in small twists and I'm moving around outdoors)
@@smck4499 I never let my hair fully dry at all, I didn't use any heat. It was literally wet/moist 24/7. When I wash my hair on Sunday I use conditioner and oil and brush it up and tie it down, I leave it til Thursday brush it out do a quick wash and back up til Sunday ☺️
To those that bleach like myself, it's ok to not have a touch up for a really long time. Also... Stop mindlessly picking your hair. I use to do that excessively to the point where my scalp was sore and of course thinning. Also, not forcing my edges to be slicked down helped.
I think that makes so much sense. You don't have to color your hair on schedule like you wash your hair on a routine. Only every so often. Because you don't want to weaken your hair by doing it too often.
I've tried the showercap conditioning and my hair resisted the conditioner every damn time. But the hooded dryer has allowed me to absorb more moisture and my dry scalp is dry no more. I'm low porosity and I deep condition once every 2 weeks. Heat has been good to me.
Mixed hair The past 4 yrs, or so, right on top of my scalp it has become tender...plus my hair, on the sides, only grows 5 to 7 inches & stops (that began around the same time as my scalp tenderness) Backside of my hair flourishes...not so much on top. Puzzling. . .why that one spot on top tends to stay "sore/tender?" 🤔 Your videos are informative & much appreciated...thank you!
Thank you so much for a job well done in this journey... been following you for a while now and I must say you always amaze me whenever you come up something realistic and true.
I stopped using my steamer weekly because it was killing my scalp. I’m going to try just using a shower cap and now that it’s warm outside I’ll sit out in my deck
Hi I watched all your UA-cam videos. They are really interesting and I have a question. Why can we use water and oil everyday only, to moisturize our hair? Instead of using sealing oils why not using slowly penetrating oils to keep the moisture in the hair for something like 12 hours and then using water and oil again? Sealing oils don't allow our hair to receive water after, we need to wash the hair first to get rid off the oil. However penetrating oils will sit on your hair for a while before getting absorbed by the hair therefore the hair can receive water after to be moisturize, right?
*SOS HELP PLS🙏🏾 These might be stupid questions but since you don't use heat to condition your hair, is your hair normal porosity? Can us low porosity girls get away with that? What about wash and go's? Are those great for absorbing the ions like you said? Are they ideal for non tension styles? I'm sorry if I sound remedial, I just wanted a little clarification. The pic you shared with you holding baby beauty is sooooooo PRECIOUS!!!!♥️.
The lack of water and proper nutrition will cause thinning as well. Now that I have a fit lifestyle, workout habitually, and have a healthy nutrition regimen… my hair is flourishing.
Mine too 😉
Yes, and over 90% of the population experience malnutrition

The way to combat this is to strengthen your kidneys and liver. The inflammation is caused by stagnant lymph fluid. (lymph is the body's sewer system, it carries cellular waste and other waste away to be eliminated by the kidneys)
When your waste system is backed up, (through years of wear and tear and stress caused by a diet of processed food, drugs and alcohol) The lymph fluid that transports the cell trash (otherwise known as pus) begins to find other ways of elimination.
Pus is essentially white blood cells that have eaten either bacteria, viruses, hormones (like DHT) or simply cell waste that then die, and must be eliminated by the body.
acne, eczema, rashes, ect. occur because the body will begin to store the acidic waste in areas of the body that are the least detrimental to store it. when it isnt being eliminated properly by your kidneys. (Its not gonna let that waste sit near your vital organs)
It will begin to store this waste within tissues, this is why people get cysts, (I know you've seen those pimple popping videos) arthritis and many other inflammatory conditions (any disease that ends in "itis" means inflammation)
Your Scalp is another place the body will store these acidic wastes, which will over time cause inflammation and weaken the hair follicles.
To combat this you must go to the root of the problem which is a overloaded lymphatic system, which is caused by weakened kidneys and liver.
A way to check is by collecting a sample of your pee in a clear glass, ( yeah ik its nasty) let it sit for about 12 hours, and check to see if there is any cloudy sediment settled at the bottom, if there is it means your kidneys are doing their job and eliminating the waste from your lymphatic system, but if the urine is clear, with no sediment, it means your kidneys are backed up, weak and not processing the waste through your urine as they should.
Thank you for sharing this information. I have taken my lymhatic system for granted. I will revisit the cleansing and herbal detox again.
Everything I've ever read about kidney function and urine quality indicated that urine should be clear or pale yellow - to indicate no gunk remains in the body/bloodstream. I think that seeing sediment 24hrs later, had I been checking that many hours later, would've had me running to the doctor in a panic! So, your statement about the sediment in urine after 24hrs, is very interesting (and I believe you); the idea of it leaves me both freaked out, and amazed. 🤯
@@70Sapphires Tell me, how does clear urine indicate no “gunk” is in the body? If the urine is clear, where is the waste then? If anything that just tells me that that waste isn’t filtering out like it should. It is the job of the kidneys to eliminate the waste brought to it by the lymphatic system. So if you aren’t seeing that waste in your urine; (you see it clearly when it manifest as acne and cysts and exits through your skin) I think it’s safe to reason there is an issue there.
Here are some examples of others who have gotten their kidneys to function properly though fasts and healthy dieting

Wow thank you for such amazing information I don’t know who you are but your information is insightful and very educational I will try this 💕Yahwo again thank you
🙌🏾👏🏾 I have to pin this.
UPDATE, I want to say thank you for responding to my previous message. I was at a very emotional state. But I'm here to say my hair is growing back and thicker and healthier. I can stop crying now. A combination of DIY rice water a few times, clove water with rosemary oil. Also, lack of Vitamin D is what was happening. From the bottom of my heart thank you! I wish you nothing but success!!!
I'm so happy to hear that. You identifying the issue is a big deal. You're on the path to a full recovery 💚
@@GreenBeauty please I need help with my edges
Please share the rice water recipe
Another one is not to let someone braid ur hair and apply edge control all over the hair as they part and braid. That will clog ur hair follicles and creates a waxy build up. Thank u for ur wonderful informative videos. 💯
yesssssssss!!!!! im so over it. what happened to braiding and cause you can braid the hair actually lays. sigh.
besides half those picture are filtered too.
@@sheamoniquedaniel1824 huh?
@@Jenw. to clarify. back in the day we didn't use all that to hold braids just braided and the hair laid well.
i also came to the realization that many of the pictures posted has a filter on them. like the make up pages i followed. So people slap sooo much product on the scalp and hair but there is no real need for all of that. in the end it does clog the follicles in the short term yes it looks amazing in the long term it can cause problems.
@@sheamoniquedaniel1824 oh okay gotcha. Yea I do remember in the early 2000s ppl didn't really use jam on the scalp for braids. And edge control wasn't even a thing back then. & that's so interesting about the filter over pics. I believe it too bc in person, so many ppl don't be having their parts sleek like the pics be lol.
@@Jenw. exactly. thanks for allowing me to clarify and understanding where i was coming from
Heat from the sun can also damage your scalp. Take a hat or scarf outside if you feel irritation on your scalp during sun exposure.
I'm here because I am suffering from hair loss and thinning. It's effecting my self image. I'm biracial USED to have thick curly hair. 1st I noticed my curls were not as curly. 2nd my thickness started to fade. 3rd hair started to fall out. No medical issues. Crying as I type because I feel there's no hope. I have no idea what to do. Thank you for creating your page for people like me. The calmness of your voice makes it easier with this topic. It's not really discussed in our community. One Love
Hello, I understand how stressful hair loss can be especially if you don’t know the cause and what to do about it. The process you described definitely sounds like a health issue. Health can be confusing b/c there are so many test and so many diagnoses out there. Sometimes you need to just ignore all the noise and look within. Have you ever tried fasting? Fasting is a great way to give your body a break from digesting food so it can literally heal its self. Over time, it also cleans out your intestines so they can absorb nutrients and minerals better. I also suggest you try meditating and picking up a hobby whose purpose is JUST for enjoyment. Stress is a real issue in this “developed world” and stress is often the root cause to all types of health issues. The path to health does not have to be complicated, you just have to prioritize putting yourself first. Pick yourself up and sit on your throne b/c I see from your tone and profile picture that you are beautiful.
@@GreenBeauty you nailed it. stress and stress. I just ordered Dr Sebi book of fasting. So I will follow your suggestion. your energy is insane! TY for the universe for bring your channel to me! Like I said before this topic is not discussed enough. I'll give you updates trying the rice water tonight to start it off.
@@deellaboe437How's things going a year on? Did you manage to reverse the thinning?
This video couldn’t have come at a better time 😭 my hair’s been thinning and i was so confused why. Lo and behold, ive been doing everything on this list as my hair has been getting longer and ive been experimenting 😭 guess i still have to be patient
I have had low density hair AND fine strands since birth. Btw, my hair is healthy.
People keep telling me of ways to thicken my hair and it gets tiring.
❤️Love your video and usefull info.
.
Yes,tension is a killer, even just doing the same style over and over, or keeping the same sections for prolonged periods.
That’s a great point. I’ve meaning to post a video on how to maintain a grid.
@@GreenBeauty looking forward to this. I love twists, but I've noticed thinning around my edges where I usually do my parts sọ I've taken a break, but I miss my twists
@@GreenBeauty please do,I would appreciate it!
@@GreenBeauty
This would be so awesome!
I have sisterlocks and have kept them shoulder length to prevent tension and thinning; yet, the thinning at top has started. I did a few apple cider vinegar scalp detoxs and do not tighten my hair all at once; with the top where the thinning is, done last and not to the scalp. None of my hair is tightened to the scalp. There is improvement and growth, thank goodness.
This weekend I had intended to take out my sisterlocks and switch to mini 2-strand twists. Have to admit, I really do no want to take out my sisterlocks but I want to stop the thinning completely. I cancelled my appt for this weekend and then came across this video. Thank you for your much much needed content. Blessings~
@GreenBeauty do you have any suggestions for protective hairstyle for people with really thin hair shoulder length? A hairstyle that would look good?
Here I was about to cry about my hair thinning out and you made me feel better
💚
Rinse scalp with vinegar especially if it's itchy. It restores pH balance.
I've started doing this and I've seen more growth...thank goodness!
Another one is maintaining the pH of your scalp. I've used products that my scalp simply just doesn't care for. Most store-bought shampoos and conditioners drive my scalp crazy and will have me itching until my next wash. So I just make all my hair products now. It is still trial and error because what works for my scalp today may not work forever.
Agreed - I do this too now.
Your videos need to be broadcasted to all natural people, anyone with hair really! Amazing graphics and information
You have been educating on hair care for some years now, and you never disappoint. Thank you for being an advocate for black natural hair care, especially the videos on hair loss and thinning.
Foreign objects in hair can cause inflammation like hair accessories:hair pens, hair clips, headbands, etc. I try to use a scrunchie to protect my ends, but it's tied on loosely. Always informative. Thanks ❤️
I want to add that the sun is a heat source, and just because a little is good for you, even if you don't actually burn, your scalp skin will get rough and leathery just like you see less melaninated people's facial skin getting as they age. I discovered this only recently when I discovered a thinning hair area at the back top of my head and realized it's where my wide brimmed sun visor I wear each day to walk the dog was leaving my hair exposed to the sun. I liked the hat because not having a top, it fit around my big head of hair, but now I've had to make the effort to find some men's fishing hats that don't look too masculine to wear instead. I hope I caught it in time and that that area of my scalp can recover.
Have you seen a change in your hair after wearing the hat? And did the hair loss come with tenderness too?
A lightbulb went off when you mentioned hooded dryers. My scalp has been extremely sore & sensitive & I had to see a doctor recently bcuz a bump came up & turned into an abcess. I never would have linked the hooded dryer to the issue & think this may be the cause bcuz I wash my hair every week. I'm so glad I found this video, definitely will stop using the dryer to see if it may be the cause.
Thank you.
It’s so good to know exactly what’s causing the problem. I’m happy my video helped 💚💚💚
Oh boy, you did it again 👏🏽! I’m just gonna say this, I sometimes avoid viewing your videos because I’m not ready for the truth 😒 (ya’ll know it hurts…don’t judge me, lol). However, I absolutely LOVE ❤ your KNOWLEDGE and the VISUALS you give! Please KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT work and helping us out! I am already WL but applying your well tested knowledge with help me flourish!
A 5th reason could be a result of internal health issues (i.e. lack of proper nutrition/ nutrients).
Exactly. I had to buy an iron/zinc/folic acid vit recommended by my Doc and I've doubled my protein consumption after a recent miscarriage and month-long illness.
Having a problem with low thyroid levels can also cause hair loss. I'm experiencing some hair loss around my temple area, this video has given me hope that I can do something about it, now that it's in the early stage. Thank you!
My hair started thinning and I just thought it was stress. It kept thinning to the point where I was able to see the scar from my brain surgery, and that’s when I talked to my doctor. Test showed that I had hypothyroidism. It is so hard for me to keep my hair moisturized, but aloe vera and a water oil mixture have been helping.
@@texasflower1212 I'm sorry to hear, but that's why I started to make my own Aloe Vera hair oil as well.
Same here for me with the thyroid.
Hyperthyroidism as well. I'm just now seeing a bald patch become more full after 4 years.
@@pri_shay_dior may I ask what did you do to get fuller hair? I am supposed to be hypothyroid since I had a partial thyroidectomy, but some how I am still hyper.🤷🏾♀️

I have dreadlocks. Putting my hair up before I go in the shower, even if I do it loosely, does put tension on my scalp. I didn't realize it until I had kept it up all day and realized parts of my scalp was sore once I finally let my hair down. I freeform, so with as much as my hair crisscrosses between locs, it's actually bad to force them to lay where they don't naturally lay or the tension is a lot more intense.
Why is she so amazing ♥️ this channel is perfect, informative, professional, educational, and just downright classy! This video is about loving your hair, not restricting it, and letting it be in its beautiful free natural state
You are right I always put on my bonnet without allowing my hair to breath ,I noticed that my scalp was inflamed and the pain was unbearable I thought maybe it was from the product I used,I decided to allow my scalp and hair to breath now the pain is gone
Very informative. Thank you for sharing. My thinning came from declining hormones and stress. Still trying to recover but I’m not sure my hair will ever be the same. 😫
Can you do a video on low tension hairstyles. I do braids and twist with my natural hair all the time because it easier to deal with and makes it “presentable” for my work environment. The front of my hair is thinning and I think tension is the main culprit in my case.
Awesome video. Another one is hormonal imbalance. This isn't my video so I won't go indept. You can study how hormones affect hair. Mine hit me again during premenopause. I use maca,video internally. I use myo d chiro inositol at first, that worked great. I use herbs now for the hair like nettle,horsetail and even seamoss. I hugely switched my diet to 75%plants so I've been good.
You are teaching me how to love my hair. Thank you!
Green Beauty 🌱 Your graphics are so good! I treasure the information you share & the encouragement you provide! Thank You ☺️
Thank you
Wow wow wow, l have been watching your videos one after the other! I love how you explain, l have learnt a lot today. I was actually thinking of staying away from mini braids cause every time when l do them , l do them tight🙄 Green beauty May God richly bless you for this. Suffocating the scalp is the big one. I wash my scalp 3 times a week and my hair is flourishing. Well l use a hooded dryer , uhmm l don’t know whether l should stop🧐
If you must use a blow dryer to dry your hair , use the cool setting. It does take a little bit longer to dry but it’s totally worth it. Good Luck on your hair journey!
Can you also please make a video on why men hair thin and other causes of thin hair?
Great video, I enjoyed it.
Thank you for this ❤ I think having a dirty or dry scalp is harmful. Since I've kept mine regularly cleaned and moisturized with light, anti-inflammatory, noncomedogenic (non pore-clogging) oils, I've had significant reduction in inflammation and improvement in hair growth and strand thickness.
This is good information. I find that the light-weight conditioners are not enough for my hair and I tend to prefer heavy creams. I don't apply product directly to my scalp but I usually try to get it as close to the scalp as possible to cover the hair near the roots. From now on, I'll make sure to start applying from one inch away. I will also give up super hot water to wash my hair
Yeah, I'm same. I like super hot water in general, but will tone it down. The thing with creams is that they melt so don't stay where we put them, so I too think adding more distance between the scalp is wise. The thing that makes it ok I think is that the first inch of hair is new hair anyway, so the healthiest hair of all. It also is the first lubricated by our natural sebum. So if we can accept puffier hairdos, due to the roots not lying flat, the hair will be fine there with no product. Here's hoping anyway!
Lady AAT, as long as you use a clarifying shampoo your good! As pastor TJ would say, "Eat the meat and throw a way the bone." Blessings always!
But I don't understand how my scalp will survive without moisturiser 🤔
Thank you, sis!!
Wonderfully made video, clearly explained!!
TMH took His time when He created us!!

If you have hadcovid hair loss is a huge symptom no one talks about but many complain about. Speaking from experience.
Your videos are really helpul thank you i'm 14 years old and i'm trying to take care of my 4c hair (i'm shoulder lenght btw). I just use shea butter, oil and water for my hair. I'm thinking about using aloe vera because our home is filled with it :D what do you think ?
Aloe vera is great! Just make sure to dilute it with water if the pH is too low. The pH should not be lower than 4.
@@GreenBeauty Ok !Thank you for the advice ! :D
@@GreenBeauty But how do I know if the pH is lower than 4 ? Because I use natural Aloe vera from my house
@@milky8471 you can get pH testing strips in stores or on Amazon.
@@justKKB Oh ok thank you very much !
I agree! Since I’ve been getting knotless braids and they slather an excessive amount of braiding gel on my hair, it has destroyed my scalp! The tension on top of suffocating my hair follicles has been detrimental. I’ve experienced extreme thinning especially with the removal/detangle process. I know hair sheds after being in a protective style but it seems closer to falling out
I take pumpkin seed oil supplements for my inflammation. It works!!! I also make sure I take my iron supplements separately as iron need to be taken alone bcuz I have anemia. I also make sure to take vitamin D3 bcuz this was the reason why my hair was breaking at the ends as I was vitamin d3 deficient. Thanks sis for this awesome video. You know your sh*t. 🥰
You have one of the best UA-cam channels I’ve ever come across job well done
Definitely looking forward to your hibernation method since my hair has lost some of it's bulk due to me over wrapping my hair for a heatless stretch over time
This makes sense for when I would wrap my hair when I was relaxed. When I would comb it down in the morning my scalp was so sensitive.
Another thing to add:
Either stop wearing weave or start washing it, because it’s nasty and has plenty of harmful chemicals(mostly found in pesticides) in it, I’ve seen a shop cause balding in about 6 women just bc the weave brought to them was nasty.
True. I always shampoo and dry my wigs before I wear them.
I love your videos but I have to say doing some of these things have helped me grow my hair and maintain it's health. Especially using my steamer when deep conditioning. I'm low porosity and it's helped me with moisture retention so much! My hair was chronically dry until I started using it. Now I can use lighter moisturizers and actually still have moisturized hair longer than 2 days. I will take most of this into account and use the methods you recommended, but I can't give up my steaming sessions.
It’s all about doing what’s best for you. It’s not meant to be a one size fit all. That’s the beauty of our different hair type. 💓🙏🏽
I'm currently suffering hair loss at the temples and front of my head. I pray these steps help. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I started to lose my hair in my mid twenties, and by 27 it was very obvious. I have a lot of thick and dense hair, so it was upsetting. I eventually figured out that by reversing the cowlick that my childhood barber had trained into my hairline, I could bring my hair back. So now I've regained most of the hair I had lost, and my hairline is recovering. I was really surprised. That's when I realized just how much movement your hair follicles have. I was developing a bald spot on my crown. And as I grew my hair out while reversing the cowlick, the hair rushed back into the crown area, making it thick again. I had little to no re-growth in the region. The hair simply become thicker, more deeply rooted, and moved back into place. I have photographic proof of it too.
Pretty shocking, right???
Great videos, thank you for this channel! Keep up the good work, it really shows.
Yes that is shocking. Good thing your hair grew back b/c thats not the case for a lot of people.
@@GreenBeauty I suppose not all cowlicks are natural. And the non-natural types can be removed from your hair, given the right technique. It's seems that it's a part of hair and scalp care that don't receive all that much attention.
What's cowlick
@@evetamasawe3150 It's when a specific section of your hair has roots that are extremely stiff for some reason. These roots refuse to move in any real way and therefore receive less blood flow and sebum. This section of hair usually refuses styling and other types of manipulation, and stays stuck in one position all the time.
How would you reverse a cowlick?
I'm seriously trying to grow out my edges 😫
It's been same way for years. Funny thing is that my hair keeps growing and getting fuller but my scalp just doesn't despite how much I've been avoiding tension.
Growing edges is just too tricky 😭
Thinning edges what I found that has helped my edges grow back is rice water, batana oil, rosemary seed.
Covid thinned my hair out so bad. I will probably have to do a big chop soon
Clove spray works wonders to prevent hair breakage.
Where I do purchase something like this? Thanks.
@@amb7412 ua-cam.com/video/BeGHTSSgCC4/v-deo.html
This is just the first video I found. I recommend making D.I.Y.s if you're natural, if you don't already. But clove can be found in your grocery store "spices" section. They are an expensive spice, maybe $10+.
I also recommend looking into fenugreek and tea rinses/sprays that you can make yourself too. I make a batched spray with vegetable glycerin and aloe powder and my hair is just so juicy. They help prevent shedding. Lastly I might add use bottled water to make your diys, it makes a big difference way better than tap water.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice but I hope this reaches you well. Take care.
And rosemary water helps regrow hair, too. I make and use both multiple times weekly.
@@amb7412 you can make it easily. Just use distilled water, and organic whole cloves. I boil the water, about 12 oz, and add 2 tbsp of organic whole cloves. Let it simmer about 15-20 mins, then I let mine sit about 12 hours minimum to ensure I'm getting all the nutrients out of them as possible. Strain into a bottle and you're ready to use! I do the same thing with fresh rosemary. Same amount of water, but a whole container of fresh organic rosemary that you get from the produce section.
@@Nille0212 Thanks I will give it a try.
Great suggestions for long hair but what about that awkward medium length? I don’t have enough hair for 1-2inches of space…
Maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch of space instead
Thank you so much for sharing this info! I’ve been able to reverse the early stages of my hair loss!
My hair is fine and easily mattes up especially at the roots and leaving my roots loose, though better for tension purposes, encourages the matting smh. Can anyone relate? Can I just cut it all off and still be beautiful? I envy men who easily have that as an option when hair isn't working in their favor 😭
I have your type of hair too. I keep mine moisturized, and braided. I stopped washing it too frequently and I leave it alone and covered. I wear satan colorful sleep caps from Amazon on it., even after the pandemic restrictions have lessen.I still rest my hair. It has really flourish. Good Luck.
I have the exact same issue. My hair tangles way too easily in general but the roots are the worst
@@amb7412 same here. I wash, deep condition with a steamer, LCO, and put cornrows in my hair every 2-3 weeks. I use so many auyervedic DIYs and mix auyervedic ingredients in commercial products as well. It's caused my hair to just about double it growth monthly. I keep my hair tied up or in a bonnet 95% of the time because I'm disabled and stay home 95% of the time. My hair's doing so much better, and I'm loving it!
Thanks for the tips so far ladies. The more the merrier!
My hair grows quickly but will matte up fuse together if I leave my braids or crochet in to long. I use warm water mixed w apple cider vinegar & finger detangle the matted knotted hair. I recently started making fresh Rosemary water & Rosemary oils that helps a lot. Fresh Aloe plant gel & Seamoss gel softens my hair as well. (I use UA-cam Tutorials regularly for all the above)
Can't believe I've been missing out on your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on a platform that is accessible to anyone with a computer. I truly adore you.
My hair is thinning and I stopped dying and increased my iron intake. I also bought hemp shampoo and conditioner. I don't wear bonnets or wigs, I may wear knotless braids once every two years. Normally my hair is in a wash n go. The only other thing it could be is that I put cream on from the roots to the tip of my hair every wash day. It may be clogging or irritating my scalp.
Girl you know you teaching, keep it up! ❤
Are there any other low tension styles that you could recommend other than twists? I want to take care of my hair but also I want my natural hair to look nice. Often I opt for a wig when my hair looks old, but I don’t want to keep doing that.
Finger/comb coils.
Pin ups
Crochet braids with loose cornrows are another way to have a nice hairstyle while having your scalp breathe a bit
Holler!
I love it so much! Like, let our hair live!!
for some reason I always thought tension would grow my hair by causing more blood flow to the hair follicles making my hair grow faster in an attempt to loosen said tension. funny how such logical reasoning can be so flawed 😅😂 thanks for the re-education ❣️
Yeah … a lot of people think this and it’s definitely not true. Tension is a follicle killer
Thank youuu!♥️✨✨I can’t get enough of your videos. I’ll definitely pay more attention to inflammation because my scalp tends to get inflamed easily but usually aloe vera helps. Hopefully I’ll have less inflammation after this
My scalp is sore all the time especially if I put any type oil on it. I had no idea it’s inflamed and the oils were making it worse. I use leave in conditioners and anytime it touched my scalp it would hurt. Im to the point where I’m getting injections on my scalp. It feels so good. It’s almost like I have a whole new scalp but it wears off. If I wash my hair I get a relief for a day or so. The hair on my crown is completely gone and the thinning is spreading to the front. I’ve tired everything but nothing has worked.
I did have gut issues all my life to where I wasn’t digesting food I ate. That’s getting better now. Found out I had low stomach acid.
I just thought about you and boom I get to see a new video🧡
Recently my hair has been breaking a lot and I don't get to retain length
I've decided to increase my moisturizing game I hope it works 😩
My hair was doing fine until I started using a lot of these DIY remedies. They've really upset my scalp. I'm now shedding about 20% more hair than normal and have an itchy scalp that's very quickly gets build up after washing. This is even though I haven't used any remedy for nearly 2 weeks. One remedy (amla) seemed fine. When I started to add others (so much for them working better in combination) my scalp got very unhappy. I'm thinking of trying clay to calm it down and if that doesn't work I'm a bit stuck.
You mentioned to avoid heat. My scalp seems to like sweating in saunas and hot baths at the moment. It seems to help.
I haven't even watched this yet but I already gave this video a thimbs up, why? Because the informacould not have come at a better time. My hair started thinning just a bit and instead of becoming depressed I'm determined to get to the root of the problem. My wedding is in Jily so I have 8 weeks to try and figure out what's going on. Thank you so much for the research you put into your videos.
It could be stress. I wish you the best.
God richly bless you and your fiance! 😍
try clove water
Being 42 and one day I decided to let my hair do its own thing. My method was and is simple. I was never a fan of weaves, wigs, or any kind of extra hair on mine but maybe once a year I would get braids. My hair was a shoulder length bob even all around May 2020, in June I said well in the summertime is when I can keep my hair the most wet/moist so I took on the plant method because I was gardening at the time and maybe it was God telling me hey keep it simple, ❤️ plants grow with moisture and if you don't water your plants they die. So keep your hair moist all the time and it will grow. I washed my hair Sunday with the same brand of shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, and scalp/growth oil for my hair and that's it. I brushed my hair up in a bun and left it til Thursday take it down do a quick wash/rinse and back up again and I did that until November 2020 because the weather was starting to cool here in Florida. My hair was at mid back (top of bra strap line ☺️) when I straightened it out. So if my hair was covered with a wig or braids or a weave I'm wondering if it would have grown as much?! I haven't been to a salon in over 10 years and haven't cut split ends since idk. ☺️ Blessings to you all on your journey with your hair. My hair is about 21 inches now and I havent changed anything.
Did you blow dry it before putting it in a bun? Or did you let it ait dry? I've heard that air drying can cause mold in the hair!
I'd like to know too... air drying or blow dry? I get very bad headaches whenever my scalp is dump and my hair takes ages to airdry (unless it's in small twists and I'm moving around outdoors)
@@smck4499 I never let my hair fully dry at all, I didn't use any heat. It was literally wet/moist 24/7. When I wash my hair on Sunday I use conditioner and oil and brush it up and tie it down, I leave it til Thursday brush it out do a quick wash and back up til Sunday ☺️
@@NN-wu8fw Oh ok. I don't blow dry either, but I always dry to dry my hair as much as possible with an old t-shirt. Thanks for the reply.
Mine did this I'm trying to get my thinning edges back
To those that bleach like myself, it's ok to not have a touch up for a really long time. Also... Stop mindlessly picking your hair. I use to do that excessively to the point where my scalp was sore and of course thinning. Also, not forcing my edges to be slicked down helped.
I think that makes so much sense. You don't have to color your hair on schedule like you wash your hair on a routine. Only every so often. Because you don't want to weaken your hair by doing it too often.
Thank you for a VERY well done and highly informative presentation.
I've tried the showercap conditioning and my hair resisted the conditioner every damn time. But the hooded dryer has allowed me to absorb more moisture and my dry scalp is dry no more. I'm low porosity and I deep condition once every 2 weeks. Heat has been good to me.
Same! I’m never going back to that green house nonsense! Hood dryers have saved my hair from chronic hair dryness.
Mixed hair
The past 4 yrs, or so, right on top of my scalp it has become tender...plus my hair, on the sides, only grows 5 to 7 inches & stops (that began around the same time as my scalp tenderness)
Backside of my hair flourishes...not so much on top.
Puzzling. . .why that one spot on top tends to stay "sore/tender?" 🤔

Hi I watched all your UA-cam videos. They are really interesting and I have a question. Why can we use water and oil everyday only, to moisturize our hair?
Instead of using sealing oils why not using slowly penetrating oils to keep the moisture in the hair for something like 12 hours and then using water and oil again?
Sealing oils don't allow our hair to receive water after, we need to wash the hair first to get rid off the oil. However penetrating oils will sit on your hair for a while before getting absorbed by the hair therefore the hair can receive water after to be moisturize, right?
Love all this! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! What would you suggest for postpartum shedding?
*SOS HELP PLS🙏🏾 These might be stupid questions but since you don't use heat to condition your hair, is your hair normal porosity? Can us low porosity girls get away with that? What about wash and go's? Are those great for absorbing the ions like you said? Are they ideal for non tension styles? I'm sorry if I sound remedial, I just wanted a little clarification. The pic you shared with you holding baby beauty is sooooooo PRECIOUS!!!!♥️.
