I went to my second appointment today, here are a few answers to some common questions you guys may have. 1. The injections: The name of the injections are Kenalog, its a steroid 2. The Oil: Unfortunately, she was not able to give a proper name to the oil/droplets. The oil is compound meaning the lab mixes a few things together to make it. I'll try to find out the components of the mix and show the label in my next update. 3. The dermatoligist office I go to is Parkland Dermatology in Parkland Florida. (Parkland is in south Florida) Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll answer them in my update.

I was thinking the opposite. Yes, you’ve done an amazing job on your own. Seeking professional help has really shown great improvement. You were on the right track with micro needling at home but I’d see what the professionals can teach you. Either way I’m a new subscriber here to see the results and trying this oil mixture for my own broken and thinning hair.
I adore your videos. You describe each step so well and show actual progress with timeline and results. I appreciate that you don't post too often but when you do it's worth the wait. Your edges are growing back super well, I'd say continue professionally since you've done it at home already and seen the results, sometimes paying is a great alternative and you'll be able to compare the results, I'm sure you'll be happy you did because you seem committed to your goal and God has placed you into the right professional hands already with your edges. Can't wait to see your head full of hair soon ❤thanks for sharing
Omg the most heartwarming comment ever, thank you for your kind words! I see that you’re on a journey yourself and I subbed so I’ll be supporting you 💕💕
Yes, girl!!! You have made such great progress with your edges! I’m shocked at the difference one round of injections made. They’re truly getting full. Your hair looks healthy and strong. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll get that length you want fast. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!! And those injections are the truthhhhhhh omg. I’m TERRIFIED of needles but I am actually looking forward to my appointment next week.
Excellent results Tami. I’ve been following your progress from the beginning and admired you for being vulnerable and honest about your hair challenges. Thank you for sharing. With your determination and being consistent I think doing the micro needling yourself would give you the same results as having it done professionally. All the best. 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
Love the new intro. Also love that you documented this journey...for those who think BW cant grow hair...this is what happens when the hair is loved and cared for. Look forward to future updates💚
Amazing progress... I'm on a transition right now. It's been 1.7 months without relaxing my hair. I'm waiting the 2 years mark to cut all of my relaxed lenght. Videos like yours are so inspiring ! You are the proof tha dedication, consistency and patience work. Thank you! Love your videos ❤
And comments like these keep me going 🥹 I transitioned for 2 months and gave up so I definitely commend you on your journey lol appreciate your comment
@@tamithecreator Thank you so much girl! I feel like every black girl on this journey should have a UA-cam channel. Just to show that once you took the decision it's starting to become possible. At the beginning of this journey I was crazy searching videos on UA-cam to reassure me that my hair would grow 😆 See others one or two years later is reassuring and inspiring. I leave you alone, I don't want to be annoying 😆 Keep going !💪🏾
I've been with you since you shaved your hair off and I'M BEYOND PROUD OF YOU AND YOUR CONSISTENCY!!! ❤❤❤ Continue to do what works for your hair and as for the microneedling, I would get the dermatologist opinion on it and gor from there 😊
Let them do it professionally. They've helped you this much. I think you should. I'm so excited for you!! Youre doing amazing ❤👏🙌 and it shows it your results
Am so so so happy for u. .the other side of your edges has improved. I think because of the shots. Keep growing. Ur teaching us too how to take care of our hair.
Wow, your hair is so healthy and long. You're doing so well with it. The treatments are working so NO DONT MICRO NEEDLE! I see a lot of growth from when you got the injections. Stay on regimen because your hair is flourishing! Thanks for being so transparent!
I’m on my hair journey your hair is inspiring… please allow them to do it you’ve come so far as far as u can go on ur own it’s a great idea to let them step in to help ur growth for ur edges the injections are doing well keep this momentum with the professional micro needling is my opinion. Thanks for these videos your hair is truly a success. ❤
your progress is amazing! I think you should give the shots some time after, you might regain most of it with the shots. but if you don't, I think it's worth it doing it professionally because they would have better needles and you can go much smaller to have the most impact.
🥹 I agree with you. Of all the products I’ve used, including the prescribed oil, the shots made the best difference. Hopefully microneedling won’t be needed 🤞
You have to do what you need too. I started a hair health and growth journey April, 2020. I have made great growth and the health of my hair is great. I pre poo with conditioner and oil because my hair is dry and tangles. I section and detangle. Find what works for you. I use the Doo Grow Mix. Have for 3 years. It has helped with itching. And my hair loves it. What worked when you were young will still work.
Great video. I have never loved my hair. 3 years ago a stylist ripped out my crochet braids. My relaxed hair was weak before that but still pretty and shoulder length. All I could do was cut it all off. Now I am old, Ai, for the FIRST time ever, I love the natural hair God gave me. No more harsh chemicals or heat treatment. Water, sealers ( cream and oil), and gel are my best friends. My type 4 hair is amazing - I now can see how chemicals and heat weakened my hair.
New subscriber here!! It’s like God placed your videos in my view!! I am transitioning after getting a perm almost a year ago and I am going through some of the same things you went through in the last 2 years of your hair journey!! My edges are bad and I just cut my hair and I’m just doing cornrows and wigs but I needed some direction! I LOVE your videos!! Your transparency! Everything!! You made me really excited and hopeful for my own journey! So thank you and please never stop doing videos!! ❤️
yessssssss!! as embarrassing as these videos are, comments like this keep me going. God bless you on this journey and I'm happy you're starting this!! Keep me updated Marcia 🥰
I shaved my hair two days ago. I was thinking about it but I wasn’t going to do it until I saw your videos. I knew I wanted to do this but I’ve been so sad that my hair is gone. You have inspired me and you help me feel better. I’m so proud of your progress and confidence. Thank you for initially being brave and posting your journey because you are helping people like me. And although I don’t have enough confidence to wear my hair out just yet, I know eventually I will because it will be okay in the end. I am doing everything you are doing I made my doo grow mixture and taking your advice because somehow I trust you! ❤️
Awwwww,! You made me smile. First of all congrats on starting the journey! Move at your own pace, even with my length now you’ll catch me with a wig on lol You got this 💪💪💪 keep me updated 💕💕
i hardly ever see anyone who’s edges grow low on their forehead like mine 😭 lol ppl always crack jokes on me but i love it , i hope you love it too lol . wishing you the best of luck on your journey to growing them back fully . your progress is already truly amazing
You’re the first to ever mention low edges omg! It’s a blessing and a curse lol at this point my edges are touching my brows. & thank you for your kind words beautiful 💕💕
Thank you so much for your videos. I've been battling thinning edges and hair for a few years now but I'm finally getting serious (microneedling, using minoxidil, usiing rosemary) and I'm praying for results. You've made great videos that inspire me to keep going and to go to a dermatologist when the time comes. THANK YOU SO MUCH and God bless your journey!
You are my inspiration behind not being afraid to cut my hair off and start over. I have issues with my edges as well (One side of my head is worse than the other too). I have used the doo gro mixture consistently and microneedled at home, and I am seeing such massive results. Thank you 😢❤
You look AMAZINGG❤ I made the doo gro mixture february and I def see improvements in my hair. I’ve been wearing braids. I appreciate your updates and I’m glad your edges are transforming to their true form. My personal opinion is to get the micro needling professionally done. I think it’ll help worth it but of course ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR GUT!! 🙏🏾🤝🏾
Wow 😲 you did a good job here, honestly! As I watched the video, one thing stood out for me: consistency. You stayed consistent throughout the process and that's my takeaway. Well done sis 💙
I wanted to mention too…the bonnets we wear (if you do wear one) the band cause friction to our edges which can cause loss in the edges as well… just a little food for thought…. Great video btw 😊
You are correcttttt, I started wearing my bonnet behind my hairline. I wake up to my bonnet on the floor every morning but I have my silk pillowcase as backup. I tried to do without the bonnet but my hair products would get on my pillowcase & my cheeks started breaking out from sleeping on that same pillowcase.
@@tamithecreatorLol not the bonnet on the floor. Mannn them bonnets be so disrespectful, like why are they everywhere but on your head. Like if they’re gonna be in the next room when I wake up at least be in the kitchen making me breakfast😂
Your progress is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I actually think you should consider getting the micro needling done professionally, seeing as the injections worked so well. Please update us, so excited to follow the rest of your journey 🎉
Wow! What amazing results in only 24 months! I say go to the professionals for the micro needling if you can afford it. You are to be commended on your hair growth. I have watched you from your beginning! ❤
Girl! Your edges came right on in with the treatment! Congrats. I personally would allow the professionals to do it just so you can see how they do it and then maybe consider mimicking it when you get home but I think that you have done so much on your own. It’s time to sit back and allow some professional help! I think you have given it all you can at this point!
Yep😅 also gave myself a trim that turned to a haircut, took my 7 inch hair to barely five inches...but I love how smooth it feels from top to bottom and how I can run my fingers through my hair without getting cought in the knots in my hair...
I’ve followed your whole journey and your hair is looking AMAZING! So glad the progress is coming together super well + maybe don’t get professional microneedling to save on expenses 👍🏽
Great results with consistency. Since you’ve been going to a professional I think you should check in with them after your next round of shots and ask what they recommend based on your progress
Wow I was wondering when you was going to come back and do another video wow your hair grows so much I have a problem with my edges I'm going to do the same hair grease for my edges so hopefully it will grow out😊❤❤❤
You did talk you good yourself. Now you should leave it to the professionals. I been watching your journey and I feel like you reached your plateau. Professional help will help you accomplish your goals. ❤❤
Professional micro needling is not the same as at home. The needles are longer for professional and they can reach a depth that will actually be effective, especially if you are doing PRP with it which also can’t be done by yourself.
First time watching and you are a BLESSING on EARTH! Thank you for sharing your hair journey of what you’ve done to take care of your hair that helps me out with mines too. As for the answer to your question, try to do micro needling professionally. If you like it, then continue to get it done. If not, then stick to doing it at home.
Your hair looks amazing and now I want to start your Doo grow mix. You should definitely pay and have the professional take over to get the ultimate results. Good job 👏🏽 ❤
Hi Tami. Have you tried red light therapy for your hair? I have one I purchased by irestore, reconditioned,on eba for about 200 bucks. Also another thing that helped me tremendously was collagen peptide powder. Vital proteins is the most popular but since I do take it faithfully I found bulk suppliers. I take bovine & marine. Vitamin D +K2, iodine, vitamin C & cod liver oil is what I also take as well. You’ll see vitamin C is a building block for collagen. Most of us are low in vitamin D + K2, which is essential for hair growth. Cod liver is an omega 3 which most of us don’t get enough of, also essential for the most healthy hair. Lastly red meat is iron rich. Administrating women tend to be low in iron so eat your red meat. I suggest trying some of these internal things, plus the red light therapy, to see if it helps your edges. When I did this my hair did a 180! Best to you.
Hey! Red light therapy you say? I'm intrigued. I've seen videos on red light therapy for skin but never for hair.. You've sparked my interest, I'm definitely going to look into this. (also internally, I'm a mess, I eat Mc Donalds for dinner 😩 but I'm. working on it lol) Thank you 💕
Your growth has been remarkable! To have been here from the start of the journey just to see where your progress is now is sooo inspiring🥹. My hair is a total work in progress and I’m at a point rn where I don’t want to cut it all off but I def don’t know what to do with it :(. And after having a baby my edges have diedddd😭😭😭😩! I hope to make to make the necessary changes and visit a derm cuz I am not used to being baldheaded lol
Hi Tami you did the big chop like I did 😂 came home one day and said I tired of my damage hair. and cut every string of my hair off. Your hair looks healthy
Just stumbled on your channel. You’ve done an excellent job 👏👏 I’m sitting on the fence a bit, but whatever you decide, I wish you continued success - I’m sure you’re gonna reach tail bone length 😘
Your progress is insane!! I’m so happy for you sis❤️.. and if you have the money I think you should just get it done. I see major changes after you got your first shot so I think getting the microneedling done will be good but anyway I love your hair❤️
I have been using the oil that my dermatologist prescribed me for almost 3 months now. I see a major change, but im thinking about getting injections at my follow up appt. I think you should get microneedling done by your dermatologist then if you feel comfortable do it yourself. ❤
Hey Monica! I love that we're on the same journey 💕 You should definitely get the injection, I thought the oil was doing well on its own but the injections gave me more results in 2 weeks than the oil gave me in 2 months. My injections were called Kenalog look into the side effects before you choose to do them. Good luck! update me
@@monicachika66 it depends on how bad your damage is. I had 3 areas of concern. The minor spot only needed one injection, the moderate side needed 2, my right side is what’s killing me. At first she said 3 rounds but I just got round two done and I’m skeptical. The appts are spread 4-6 weeks apart
Thanks so much for your efforts, by showing and telling us, in facts, I will say mainly personally thanks one more time because I gain a lot from you. And I am now willing and trying to get the products that you used for your hairs, ❤
Wow!!! I've watched more than a few of your videos and Yasss!!!! Your edges have gotten significantly fuller and look healthy too! If you can, what's the name of the oil your dermatologist prescribed? Also to achieve your results, did you have to use the oil before and after receiving those injections? I have a dermatologist appt Monday and will definitely reference your before and after video!!🎉❤ It looks great Sis!!
Ohhhh noooooooooo! I'm replying late because I had my appt today and just got the name of the shots. The name of the injections are Kenalog. I have more before and after pics, I''m trying to piece that video together. I hope your appt went well, sorry for the late reply!
Hey girly. Congrats on your growth. You were/are consistent & the hard work is paying off. Is the oil with your personal info customized? What oil is that if you don’t mind me asking? Tfs.
The oil is prescribed unfortunately, my dermatologist makes a compound mix. I’m going to ask her for more details next week. Hopefully she’s willing to share the components.
Your edges and hair are doing great! I would go the professional route with the micro needle if you can afford it. I think you would get quicker and better results. What are the drops that you were prescribed in the dark bottle?
Thank you! I’m going to try to get it professionally done & if it hurts then I’m out 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ lol I’ll get the proper name of the prescribed drops when I go to the appt this week & get back to you
Ouuu, loving the results! I have been keeping up since the beginning and just wow! Does the injections hurt? I have considered them but I would have to travel a good distance.
Yes Some Of Those Products Look Very Familiar! But I chose Doo Gro(Mega Thick, Mega Long, Triple Strength), Sulfur 8(Blue Top), that Wild Growth Oil, Coconut & Olive Oil 4 My Entire House: Does Very Well!
@tami your hair journey is impressive and encouraging..one question, the Doo Gro hair vatilizer, this is a conditioner? Just for clarity because I see you don't wash your hair after using the mixture..
I grabbed my box of VHF & read the instructions & it says to apply to hair and scalp & style as desired. (The instructions are in French so I read it to the best of my abilities) but it doesn’t say to wash out. Are you looking at the tube VHF? I know they have other products.
Just stick with your regular routine, get the injections and add a scalp massager to massage your scalp everyday. Massaging your scalp to stimulate blood circulation is very good to help grow back your edges. No need to do microneedling at this time.
I think you should do it at home no point in wasting money if you can do it yourself and the shots made a huge difference glad everything is going good
You are 100% correct. Depending on how much it costs, I’d let her do it just so I can compare how she does it vs how I do it. If I was doing to correctly (which I feel like I was) then I’ll confidently continue to do it home and save my coin
Thanks for sharing! I followed your recommendations and scheduled an appt with Parkland dermatology. Got my first scalp injections. Do you wash the serum out the next day or leave it in?
Omg!! I’m so happy for you! I had an appt on Monday and was told a few subscribers started coming in🥹 I hope they work for you like they worked for me. What serum are you referring to so I can answer correctly? Between my doo gro mix/the prescription drops that she offers I don’t wash any out. I go in with a clean scalp, get my injections and then wash my hair 2 weeks later. Hopefully I answered correctly. Keep me updated on your journey 🥹
I so happy for you and your progress. What shots did you get? Steroids or PRP??? I was gonna suggest PRP. You got great results. Can’t wait to see after your second round. I say pay for the professional micro needling. You’re getting great results so it’s not a lost of money for you.
You see that’s a great question. I’ll ask more questions next week cuz I was staring at the needle the whole time and didn’t ask anything lol for some reason I think they were steroid but I’ll confirm.
@@tamithecreator okay… if she drew your blood and spinned it down it’s PRP. If she drew it up from a vail it’s most likely steroids. I’m so happy to see the results for you. When you report back it will help me too.
@@fuzzyspirals I'm back! I had my appointment earlier and was able to get more concrete information. The injection is a steroid called Kenalog. Its working so far with no negative side effects but I'm curious as to why you said you would suggest PRP? Have you gotten it done?
To be honest, I think you should finish the shots for the six months and see because I definitely see improvement. Do one thing or another don’t do both, but I would definitely stick with going to get the injections because I definitely see big improvement.
What kind oh injections did the dermatologist give you to help with edges? I might need to contact one. Your previous edges look like mine right now. I love the progress you’ve made.
Okkay i gotta keep going I been using this product for 2 months and the progress is slowww but its Working for sure.. I just expected my hair to be floor length by month 1 hahahahaa .. I will keep going #Month3
Keeeeeeep going!!!! I promise you by month two I was doing research on a hair transplant, 😂 i thought it wasn’t working. Consistency is key AND massage it in or don’t even bother applying. You got this 💪
@@tamithecreator I came across your channel and I absolutely love the content. I have the same hair type and I’m inspired to grow my hair and start over my hair journey because I suffered from protein overload . I usually use the leave in as well, but I recently bought the shampoo and deep conditioner and I’m loving it. Thank you! But I still wanna try a more hydrating moisturizer as well.
@@shallenehines3867 appreciate your kind words! what new shampoo/deep conditioner did you buy?? i also suffered from protein overload at the very beginning of my journey and omg it was a learning experience.
@@tamithecreator yesss bc I was tuned in when u chopped up go girl I finally stopped all the perming n dying my hair now I’m back to growing it out since I last big chopped and I got my sister nephew and son using this I have to get me some now.
Great question. I tried to get the name of the oil/drops before posting this but unfortunately my dermatologist mixes a few ‘compounds’ & made a mixture of her own. It’s a prescription, not an over the counter product. I’ll ask more questions as far as the naming goes during my next appointment but the best answer I was given was that it’s a ‘topical steroid that awakens dormant follicles”
I went to my second appointment today, here are a few answers to some common questions you guys may have.
1. The injections: The name of the injections are Kenalog, its a steroid
2. The Oil: Unfortunately, she was not able to give a proper name to the oil/droplets. The oil is compound meaning the lab mixes a few things together to make it. I'll try to find out the components of the mix and show the label in my next update.

I wish we had a good dermatologist here in Gainesville FL
How much were the shots
@@aw3257 the visit was $75 & the shots were included, that’s without any insurance
I do have a question, is there any side effects to the injections?
@@gemmallischannel2831 that’s a good question

Water, sealers ( cream and oil), and gel are my best friends. My type 4 hair is amazing - I now can see how chemicals and heat weakened my hair.
New subscriber here!! It’s like God placed your videos in my view!! I am transitioning after getting a perm almost a year ago and I am going through some of the same things you went through in the last 2 years of your hair journey!! My edges are bad and I just cut my hair and I’m just doing cornrows and wigs but I needed some direction! I LOVE your videos!! Your transparency! Everything!! You made me really excited and hopeful for my own journey! So thank you and please never stop doing videos!! ❤️
yessssssss!! as embarrassing as these videos are, comments like this keep me going. God bless you on this journey and I'm happy you're starting this!! Keep me updated Marcia 🥰
@@tamithecreator will do!!! Thank you so much ❤️!!
Your progress is so great !! You did a great job doing a majority at home. Your hair is growing beautifully, keep it up 👍🏽
This just gave me hope. I recently lost my edges due to a braider giving me knotless with parts that were too small for the weight of the braid 💔
Omg, you definitely have a chance to bring them back. Oil your edges, massage them & let them breathe. I’m sorry this happened to you
I shaved my hair two days ago. I was thinking about it but I wasn’t going to do it until I saw your videos. I knew I wanted to do this but I’ve been so sad that my hair is gone. You have inspired me and you help me feel better. I’m so proud of your progress and confidence. Thank you for initially being brave and posting your journey because you are helping people like me. And although I don’t have enough confidence to wear my hair out just yet, I know eventually I will because it will be okay in the end. I am doing everything you are doing I made my doo grow mixture and taking your advice because somehow I trust you! ❤️
Awwwww,! You made me smile. First of all congrats on starting the journey! Move at your own pace, even with my length now you’ll catch me with a wig on lol You got this 💪💪💪 keep me updated 💕💕
i hardly ever see anyone who’s edges grow low on their forehead like mine 😭 lol ppl always crack jokes on me but i love it , i hope you love it too lol . wishing you the best of luck on your journey to growing them back fully . your progress is already truly amazing
You’re the first to ever mention low edges omg! It’s a blessing and a curse lol at this point my edges are touching my brows. & thank you for your kind words beautiful 💕💕
Heyyyyyyy girl!!! I was just thinking about you and wondering if an update was coming soon. 😃🥰 So good to see you!! 😚
You are so quick omg lol 🥹 good to hear from you & appreciate you as always 💕
I did this in my youth a lot, lol. Sometimes even at lunch break. Came back to work with hair cuts.
Oh my gosh so happy I clicked on this. Great! Job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well done … I think you did a good job at home but now it’s time to get a professional help to speed up the process 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your videos. I've been battling thinning edges and hair for a few years now but I'm finally getting serious (microneedling, using minoxidil, usiing rosemary) and I'm praying for results. You've made great videos that inspire me to keep going and to go to a dermatologist when the time comes. THANK YOU SO MUCH and God bless your journey!
Sounds like you’re doing everything correctly 🥹 you got this! Good luck on your journey!!💕💕
Your hair and edges look absolutely amazing!!!! Imma have to got on your doo grow mix!!!
You are my inspiration behind not being afraid to cut my hair off and start over. I have issues with my edges as well (One side of my head is worse than the other too). I have used the doo gro mixture consistently and microneedled at home, and I am seeing such massive results. Thank you 😢❤
the best success story omg 🥹 I'm so happy for US.
Those edges grew back. Really proud of you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🥹🥹
You look AMAZINGG❤ I made the doo gro mixture february and I def see improvements in my hair. I’ve been wearing braids. I appreciate your updates and I’m glad your edges are transforming to their true form. My personal opinion is to get the micro needling professionally done. I think it’ll help worth it but of course ALWAYS GO WITH YOUR GUT!! 🙏🏾🤝🏾
Wow 😲 you did a good job here, honestly!
As I watched the video, one thing stood out for me: consistency.
You stayed consistent throughout the process and that's my takeaway.
Well done sis 💙
It might sound cliche but consistency is key at the end of the day! I appreciate your kind words 🥹🥰
@@tamithecreator you're welcome 🤗 and I appreciate your response. Your consistency and patience has really inspired me💙
I wanted to mention too…the bonnets we wear (if you do wear one) the band cause friction to our edges which can cause loss in the edges as well… just a little food for thought….
Great video btw 😊
You are correcttttt, I started wearing my bonnet behind my hairline. I wake up to my bonnet on the floor every morning but I have my silk pillowcase as backup. I tried to do without the bonnet but my hair products would get on my pillowcase & my cheeks started breaking out from sleeping on that same pillowcase.
@@tamithecreatorLol not the bonnet on the floor. Mannn them bonnets be so disrespectful, like why are they everywhere but on your head. Like if they’re gonna be in the next room when I wake up at least be in the kitchen making me breakfast😂
Congratulations Tami!
It’s inspiring to see your growth!
Awesome dedication and consistency!
awww thank you Syd 💕
Your progress is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I actually think you should consider getting the micro needling done professionally, seeing as the injections worked so well. Please update us, so excited to follow the rest of your journey 🎉
Wow! What amazing results in only 24 months! I say go to the professionals for the micro needling if you can afford it. You are to be commended on your hair growth. I have watched you from your beginning! ❤
Girl! Your edges came right on in with the treatment! Congrats. I personally would allow the professionals to do it just so you can see how they do it and then maybe consider mimicking it when you get home but I think that you have done so much on your own. It’s time to sit back and allow some professional help! I think you have given it all you can at this point!
You really inspired me to start my hair health and growth journey and I love your content and progress!
aww thank you so much 💕💕💕 I hope your journey goes well
Yep😅 also gave myself a trim that turned to a haircut, took my 7 inch hair to barely five inches...but I love how smooth it feels from top to bottom and how I can run my fingers through my hair without getting cought in the knots in my hair...
I mean it’s a good feeling to run through your hair without snags but we could have done that & cut off just an inch lol
I’ve followed your whole journey and your hair is looking AMAZING! So glad the progress is coming together super well + maybe don’t get professional microneedling to save on expenses 👍🏽
I would definitely go to the dermatologist for microneedling so its done correctly. Great growth update!
Love this! I definitely see the big difference. I think you should try it professionally so, we know if it’s worth the cost.
I AM so proud of you
Keep it up
i needa get a life because the way I've been waiting for these updated
also this new introoooo
Lmao 🤣😂 I cackled out loud & thank you, you’re the first to notice it lol 💕💕
Me tooo lol
Congrats on your progress this is very inspiring!!
Girl, your hair looks good!
Becoz of u darling I got my hair back tho still in progress bt confidence and hopes are so high ...thanks you so much yo my hero ❤
Omg I’m so happy!!! 🥹🥹 I’m glad your journey is going well
Great results with consistency. Since you’ve been going to a professional I think you should check in with them after your next round of shots and ask what they recommend based on your progress
Wow I was wondering when you was going to come back and do another video wow your hair grows so much I have a problem with my edges I'm going to do the same hair grease for my edges so hopefully it will grow out😊❤❤❤
I hope it does! Keep me updated 💕
I will
You did talk you good yourself. Now you should leave it to the professionals. I been watching your journey and I feel like you reached your plateau. Professional help will help you accomplish your goals. ❤❤
You said that so elegantly, lol I appreciate it. I did my part let the professionals handle the rest 😂
Professional micro needling is not the same as at home. The needles are longer for professional and they can reach a depth that will actually be effective, especially if you are doing PRP with it which also can’t be done by yourself.
Excellent results Sis. Thank you for sharing.
First time watching and you are a BLESSING on EARTH! Thank you for sharing your hair journey of what you’ve done to take care of your hair that helps me out with mines too.
As for the answer to your question, try to do micro needling professionally. If you like it, then continue to get it done. If not, then stick to doing it at home.
Thank you so much for this comment! It’s words like this that keep me going 🥹💕 appreciate your advice as well
Yep get those steps the dermatologist does and do it on your own
Your hair looks amazing and now I want to start your Doo grow mix. You should definitely pay and have the professional take over to get the ultimate results. Good job 👏🏽 ❤
Hi Tami. Have you tried red light therapy for your hair? I have one I purchased by irestore, reconditioned,on eba for about 200 bucks. Also another thing that helped me tremendously was collagen peptide powder. Vital proteins is the most popular but since I do take it faithfully I found bulk suppliers. I take bovine & marine. Vitamin D +K2, iodine, vitamin C & cod liver oil is what I also take as well. You’ll see vitamin C is a building block for collagen. Most of us are low in vitamin D + K2, which is essential for hair growth. Cod liver is an omega 3 which most of us don’t get enough of, also essential for the most healthy hair. Lastly red meat is iron rich. Administrating women tend to be low in iron so eat your red meat. I suggest trying some of these internal things, plus the red light therapy, to see if it helps your edges. When I did this my hair did a 180! Best to you.
Hey! Red light therapy you say? I'm intrigued. I've seen videos on red light therapy for skin but never for hair.. You've sparked my interest, I'm definitely going to look into this. (also internally, I'm a mess, I eat Mc Donalds for dinner 😩 but I'm. working on it lol) Thank you 💕
I love your new intro ❤
Thank you 💕
Hey Tami well done, it's all about consistency.. Just to make you aware I microneedle myself at home
Your growth has been remarkable! To have been here from the start of the journey just to see where your progress is now is sooo inspiring🥹. My hair is a total work in progress and I’m at a point rn where I don’t want to cut it all off but I def don’t know what to do with it :(. And after having a baby my edges have diedddd😭😭😭😩! I hope to make to make the necessary changes and visit a derm cuz I am not used to being baldheaded lol
Hi Tami you did the big chop like I did 😂 came home one day and said I tired of my damage hair. and cut every string of my hair off. Your hair looks healthy
Yesssssss!! It feels so freeing doesn’t it!!! Your hair will grow back stronger and healthier! 💕💕
Just stumbled on your channel. You’ve done an excellent job 👏👏 I’m sitting on the fence a bit, but whatever you decide, I wish you continued success - I’m sure you’re gonna reach tail bone length 😘
yess! tail bone length! I'm speaking it into existence! 💕 and thank you for your kind words.
Your progress is insane!! I’m so happy for you sis❤️.. and if you have the money I think you should just get it done. I see major changes after you got your first shot so I think getting the microneedling done will be good but anyway I love your hair❤️
I'm early YAY. I'm 14 and I love your videos so much. Congrats☺☺
I have been using the oil that my dermatologist prescribed me for almost 3 months now. I see a major change, but im thinking about getting injections at my follow up appt. I think you should get microneedling done by your dermatologist then if you feel comfortable do it yourself. ❤
Hey Monica! I love that we're on the same journey 💕 You should definitely get the injection, I thought the oil was doing well on its own but the injections gave me more results in 2 weeks than the oil gave me in 2 months. My injections were called Kenalog look into the side effects before you choose to do them. Good luck! update me
@@tamithecreator I sure will keep you updated. How often do you have to get the injection?
@@monicachika66 it depends on how bad your damage is. I had 3 areas of concern. The minor spot only needed one injection, the moderate side needed 2, my right side is what’s killing me. At first she said 3 rounds but I just got round two done and I’m skeptical. The appts are spread 4-6 weeks apart
Excellent 🥇👸🏾⭐️. We got you Sis. 💕.
I just cut off all my Locs and my hair is so close to my scalp I have to go to a barber shop to have it evened out. This video is inspiring me thanks.
Omg! Congrats on the big chop, good luck on your journey!!
Thanks so much for your efforts, by showing and telling us, in facts, I will say mainly personally thanks one more time because I gain a lot from you. And I am now willing and trying to get the products that you used for your hairs, ❤
the best compliment 🥹 I hope it works out for you 💕
Wow!!! I've watched more than a few of your videos and Yasss!!!! Your edges have gotten significantly fuller and look healthy too! If you can, what's the name of the oil your dermatologist prescribed? Also to achieve your results, did you have to use the oil before and after receiving those injections? I have a dermatologist appt Monday and will definitely reference your before and after video!!🎉❤ It looks great Sis!!
Ohhhh noooooooooo! I'm replying late because I had my appt today and just got the name of the shots. The name of the injections are Kenalog. I have more before and after pics, I''m trying to piece that video together. I hope your appt went well, sorry for the late reply!
Hey girly. Congrats on your growth. You were/are consistent & the hard work is paying off. Is the oil with your personal info customized? What oil is that if you don’t mind me asking? Tfs.
The oil is prescribed unfortunately, my dermatologist makes a compound mix. I’m going to ask her for more details next week. Hopefully she’s willing to share the components.
Your hair is winning! I’m
So happy for you and your progress. We need that edge oil!!! Thank you
Your edges and hair are doing great! I would go the professional route with the micro needle if you can afford it. I think you would get quicker and better results. What are the drops that you were prescribed in the dark bottle?
Thank you! I’m going to try to get it professionally done & if it hurts then I’m out 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ lol I’ll get the proper name of the prescribed drops when I go to the appt this week & get back to you
Ouuu, loving the results! I have been keeping up since the beginning and just wow! Does the injections hurt? I have considered them but I would have to travel a good distance.
Thanks for following the jourmeyyy! The shots don’t hurt & it’s definitely worth the drive
@@tamithecreator can’t wait to see more updates! 🫶🏾
Sometimes it's better to start all over again ❤ your haor look healthy 😍 love it
Great video I loved it to watch it so much good info
Thank you so much! 🥹💕
Yes Some Of Those Products Look Very Familiar! But I chose Doo Gro(Mega Thick, Mega Long, Triple Strength), Sulfur 8(Blue Top), that Wild Growth Oil, Coconut & Olive Oil 4 My Entire House: Does Very Well!
Wow!!! BEAUTIFUL 😍
@tami your hair journey is impressive and encouraging..one question, the Doo Gro hair vatilizer, this is a conditioner? Just for clarity because I see you don't wash your hair after using the mixture..
I grabbed my box of VHF & read the instructions & it says to apply to hair and scalp & style as desired. (The instructions are in French so I read it to the best of my abilities) but it doesn’t say to wash out. Are you looking at the tube VHF? I know they have other products.
Just stick with your regular routine, get the injections and add a scalp massager to massage your scalp everyday. Massaging your scalp to stimulate blood circulation is very good to help grow back your edges. No need to do microneedling at this time.
Let them do it!!
Girl ....try bask and lather oil on your edges...trust me you'll love the results
I’m not opposed to trying them. I tried another product from them and didn’t care for it but I’ll check out the oil
Amazing. Do the micro needling professionally to maximize results.
I think you should do it at home no point in wasting money if you can do it yourself and the shots made a huge difference glad everything is going good
You are 100% correct. Depending on how much it costs, I’d let her do it just so I can compare how she does it vs how I do it. If I was doing to correctly (which I feel like I was) then I’ll confidently continue to do it home and save my coin
Thanks for sharing! I followed your recommendations and scheduled an appt with Parkland dermatology. Got my first scalp injections. Do you wash the serum out the next day or leave it in?
Omg!! I’m so happy for you! I had an appt on Monday and was told a few subscribers started coming in🥹 I hope they work for you like they worked for me. What serum are you referring to so I can answer correctly? Between my doo gro mix/the prescription drops that she offers I don’t wash any out. I go in with a clean scalp, get my injections and then wash my hair 2 weeks later. Hopefully I answered correctly. Keep me updated on your journey 🥹
I so happy for you and your progress. What shots did you get? Steroids or PRP??? I was gonna suggest PRP. You got great results. Can’t wait to see after your second round. I say pay for the professional micro needling. You’re getting great results so it’s not a lost of money for you.
You see that’s a great question. I’ll ask more questions next week cuz I was staring at the needle the whole time and didn’t ask anything lol for some reason I think they were steroid but I’ll confirm.
@@tamithecreator okay… if she drew your blood and spinned it down it’s PRP. If she drew it up from a vail it’s most likely steroids. I’m so happy to see the results for you. When you report back it will help me too.
@@fuzzyspirals I'm back! I had my appointment earlier and was able to get more concrete information. The injection is a steroid called Kenalog. Its working so far with no negative side effects but I'm curious as to why you said you would suggest PRP? Have you gotten it done?
Looks great 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
To be honest, I think you should finish the shots for the six months and see because I definitely see improvement. Do one thing or another don’t do both, but I would definitely stick with going to get the injections because I definitely see big improvement.
We’re on the same page, let’s see where these shots get me, hopefully I won’t even need to take that 3rd step
What kind oh injections did the dermatologist give you to help with edges? I might need to contact one. Your previous edges look like mine right now. I love the progress you’ve made.
Hey! Thank you! I believe they were steroid injections, I’ll get the correct name when I go this week
re: The injections. Are the results permanent once you stop? Or do you need to have rounds of them every few months forever to maintain?
The results are permanent
Okkay i gotta keep going
I been using this product for 2 months and the progress is slowww but its Working for sure.. I just expected my hair to be floor length by month 1 hahahahaa .. I will keep going #Month3
Keeeeeeep going!!!! I promise you by month two I was doing research on a hair transplant, 😂 i thought it wasn’t working. Consistency is key AND massage it in or don’t even bother applying. You got this 💪
Love the journey,
What do you use to moisturize your hair?
Thank you so much! As of right now I use Mielle rosemary leave in as a moisturizer but I’m definitely open to something more hydrating
@@tamithecreator I came across your channel and I absolutely love the content. I have the same hair type and I’m inspired to grow my hair and start over my hair journey because I suffered from protein overload . I usually use the leave in as well, but I recently bought the shampoo and deep conditioner and I’m loving it. Thank you! But I still wanna try a more hydrating moisturizer as well.
@@shallenehines3867 appreciate your kind words! what new shampoo/deep conditioner did you buy?? i also suffered from protein overload at the very beginning of my journey and omg it was a learning experience.
@@tamithecreator the same Mielle Rosemary. I was planning to but watching your video confimed everything so I just got it 🤣
@@shallenehines3867 😂 lol glad youre loving it, we definitely have the exact same hair type then lol
Damn it has been 2 years hasn’t it ong 😮
time flies huh lol
@@tamithecreator yesss bc I was tuned in when u chopped up go girl I finally stopped all the perming n dying my hair now I’m back to growing it out since I last big chopped and I got my sister nephew and son using this I have to get me some now.
Great results thanks for sharing 🫶🏽
You look amazing! Can you tell me the name if the drops
Lovely results what brand is the scalp oil?
Great question. I tried to get the name of the oil/drops before posting this but unfortunately my dermatologist mixes a few ‘compounds’ & made a mixture of her own. It’s a prescription, not an over the counter product. I’ll ask more questions as far as the naming goes during my next appointment but the best answer I was given was that it’s a ‘topical steroid that awakens dormant follicles”
Wow I can see the difference in the edges with the injections Ima ask my derm about it
Definitely worth it!
im sooooooo happy for you ❤❤❤❤ماشاء الله
