Great tips Jenell!! I've encountered setbacks with the styles you mentioned (repeatedly wearing them), but I stopped and started doing semi-mini twist and using Jbco to grow my hair back. Also, along with these styles, I realized that using gels and certain edge control products can contribute to thinning edges and hair loss. Thanks so much for posting this vid:)
Thanks for sharing. I will most definitely use these tips. I have been wearing wigs lately and I have noticed a large amount of breakage around my edges. I'm getting back on my strict hair regimen for sure! thanks again
Trying to get my edges in check. Uuugh. I have super thin hair and I keep on trying my edges! Haha. I'm starting to read my thoughts. Jamaican black helps a lot. Also drink lots of water, tea, and less meat.
you were just in time with this video!!! I experienced postpartum shedding with my son and he just turned 1 a few days ago. they've grown back in some but they're definitely not the same as they were before i had him. :(
+nick wrgordon LMAO! Honestly, if you can't handle tension then youre left with leaving your hair out loose. You can do a roll tuck and pin if your hair is long enough. You can also, wear mini twists and leave them hanging or pin them up. Updos with pins are great. You don't have to be limited because you can't wear extensions. If your hair can handle a little bit of tension like mine can then you can wear puffs every now and then, as you see me doing here in this video. Im not sure how long you've been one of my loves, but if its been the 6 years I've been on UA-cam then you know I hardly wear my hair in tight puffs, ponytails, and extensions. My hair breaks easily.
If I need to protect my natural hair, I personally put my hair into protective styles like extensions and weaves I rarely leave my natural hair out as the weather in London and the water breaks my hair severely although I moisturise my natural hair, I just can't leave it out. What would you advise a natural chick to do if she doesn't want to wear her natural hair out?
Have you tried "mini twists?" you can even do them yourself. Use your own hair. And seal in the ends with a heavy butter a few takes a week to keep your ends from getting dry. You can keep the mini twists in for 4 weeks.
'We can see your thoughts' you had me busting hard looool I love your sayings!! The back of my hair line has suffered badly from Ezcema and has cut my hair its started growing back now strangely by me eating Spinach and moisturizing my hair everyday. I have to put my hand up and say that I am one of the lose ladies that has her hair in braids ...I did do two months without it but I was a struggling to style my hair as its so thick. I know my hair is saying take the braids out I will and try and wear my hair natural during the winter months. Thank you for the tips I have just order Shea Moisture JCO leave in conditioner and shampoo to try and get my hair back on point.
Thanks for the tips Jenell. My edges are just a little sparse on one side but I'm going to try to keep my hands out of my hair so much...and rub some JBCO on them bad boys.
OMG! I'm tryna get my edges together too but I do keep wearing wigs. After watching your video, I realize I need to take a break from them but how should I wear my hair? I use JBCO and I NEED to see more growth.
Great tips with winter coming in no wigs or protection style braids going to be hard. I will try I am using Jamaican coconut oil now. Thank you for sharing peace and Love!
Do you have any ideas in mind of how you'll do your hair ? the only one i can think of, besides just wearing my natural hair freely, is probably crochet braids.
+Sunny Dai I am going to take a strive of Satan make a band so my wigs combs will not dig into my edges and Bobbi pin the wig secure to my head from top. Take care Peace!
No no no now of that! No puffs no twist no Marley no! Lol. Love it. I've been natural for 15-16 years and NEVER used Jamaican black actor oil or even regular castor oil for that matter. Where have I been? Walking around with beat edges!
These tips also work for bald spots. Idk if this happens to anyone else but when I'm super stressed out I'll get a bald spot near/on the hairline, (not always in the same place) about the size of a quarter. It goes completely smooth, no evidence of any follicles at all. But I massage JBCO on the spot every few days and treat the surrounding hair very gently and it always grows back within a couple months.
+j king This is me!!! Didn't used to be though, just since being natural. Mine are about the size of a dime usually. I've had 3 or 4 in the last year and a half. The left edge left entirely. Wish I could do the JBCO but it itches me like hell fire and gives me hives. My edges always seem to itch after I use regular castor oil now too.
What is that song you have in the background named? I like it. And i too lost my edges on the right side of my head. I use ginger juice, lavender oil Coconut oil aloe Vera juice and vitamin E on them and they are almost fully grown out in 4 months
what's a nice style if I'm going to an interview? I want to protect my edges as they are short, but they don't stay neat in twists(and gel doesn't work!).
hi you said you used the hair vitamins for 6 months post....by chance were you breast feeding and is it possible or safe to take them while breast feeding ?
LOOOL!! We can see your thoughts!! DEAD! You're raw LOOL Up until this day I still crack up at your old comment on another video saying "you don't have baby hairs you have adult hairs" LOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!! OMGOSH!! Funnnnyyy girl! haaa!!Yeah I been looking after my edges proper now moisturizing daily no high buns for a year and BOOM bush city up in here ma! Yup i did a 6 month wig challenge last year and peeps got mad when I spit the truth about it snatching off my edges smdh but haaaa now peeps be silently watching all my older edges vids as the GROWTH IS CLEAR as my videos go on without wearing wigs, umm hmm. I love a cute wig but my edges don't! I'm pleased! Fast recovery ;-D
I lost the edges on the left side of my head due to stress. My dermatologist gave me a liquid to try first and it didn't work. He then gave me injections for a couple of months and they are growing back. The JBCO breaks me out and itches horribly bad so I had to stop that mess.
+mswtaz94 have you tried regular castor oil? i think using any oil and giving yourself a scalp massage to stimulate will help grow your edges back as well
These are some good tips here ! We get what you should NOT do, but what is missing is how to wear your hair when you have massive breakage on the front. It can be a HUGE Challenge. If you have tips, techniques or ideas on how to put the hair in order to camouflage/work with the breakage. xoxoxo
I think the root of this is expectations. People say they HAVE to protective style when really, you just have this expectation of always being camera ready, so you opt for extensions. This is not everyone, but this is surely the majority. I have yet to see many women on UA-cam or in person who wear wigs and extensions 24/7 and have healthy and full hair to their waist; and if it is long, it needs a hefty trim from split ends. Your hair needs a break; and not just the 48 hours before your next installation appointment. Many claim to experience excessive dryness and breakage from neglect. Everyone's hair is different. If your hair cannot handle constant tension on the hairline or anywhere at the roots, then wigs and weaves are not options. There is nothing wrong with the frizz that comes with first, second, and third day twist outs, wash and go's, and updos.
A lot of ppl are "natural" but don't want to see, touch, deal with their natural texture. So they go to protective styles 24/7. I wear my lil wig a couple times a month, but I also have a tapered cut that I go to the barber abd get trimmed regularly. If your natural and going to rely on so called protective styles you might as well still be relaxing. Imo it's just as damaging if you're not taking care of your own hair regularly.
+Andrea Johnson I wouldn't equate the potential effects of relaxing with neglect but I get what you're saying. If you (as in people, not you personally) never wear your hair out, then the last thing you need is relax it every time you remove the extensions and re-install new one within minutes or hours.
msaalxs I know that I'm just saying maintaining prevents damage and neglect has the potential of causing just as much damage to the hair as relaxing. Minus the sores and burns to the scalp of course.
I was trying to listen to you threw out the video, but your puff has really taking all my attention lol. Love the make up look as well, but girl this puff you have is to cute. I move that JBCO. Every time I see a bottle at Walmart I grab it because it sell out so fast and it's a little cheaper than other places.
Ok, your advise is not to wear wigs. What advice do you have for women that have severe traction alopecia but wear wigs because she is too embarrassed to wear her hair out because of bald edges? What other alternative hairstyles are available?
What is that song you have in the background named? I like it. And i too lost my edges on the right side of my head. I use ginger juice, lavender oil Coconut oil aloe Vera juice and vitamin E on them and they are almost fully grown out in 4 months

Also, along with these styles, I realized that using gels and certain edge control products can contribute to thinning edges and hair loss. Thanks so much for posting this vid:)
I had to watch the video all over again because i was to busy just loving your hair and makeup the first time 😩😍
Thanks for sharing. I will most definitely use these tips. I have been wearing wigs lately and I have noticed a large amount of breakage around my edges. I'm getting back on my strict hair regimen for sure! thanks again
love the video,but question since all of thoses style going to cause tension on the hair line whats the best protective style I can put in my hair?
You're keeping it real Jenell. Love it. I figured out that how I tied my hair up at night was contributing to edge breakage.
+gkan07 Its often the things we do most because we love them, that cause us the damage.
Trying to get my edges in check. Uuugh. I have super thin hair and I keep on trying my edges! Haha. I'm starting to read my thoughts. Jamaican black helps a lot. Also drink lots of water, tea, and less meat.
Your hair needs protein, so eating more protein like meat helps with hair growth
you were just in time with this video!!! I experienced postpartum shedding with my son and he just turned 1 a few days ago. they've grown back in some but they're definitely not the same as they were before i had him. :(
Thank you mamas! 😊 I've been using it and I noticed some results. It's quite magical lol
love your glasses where did u get them from
You crossed off like 97.9% hairstyles, so what hairstyles do you suggest people with no edges wear?
+nick wrgordon LMAO! Honestly, if you can't handle tension then youre left with leaving your hair out loose. You can do a roll tuck and pin if your hair is long enough.

S. Gordon finger coils or comb twists are great options
great tips! and your puff is giving me life!
+Tamara Harris Thanks for watching.
thank you for this video. just had a baby and my hair is shredding like crazy. I am running to my beauty supply store ASAP
Great tips!

+RealistMitchie Baafour you could try wearing cute turbans or scarves
Have you tried "mini twists?" you can even do them yourself. Use your own hair. And seal in the ends with a heavy butter a few takes a week to keep your ends from getting dry. You can keep the mini twists in for 4 weeks.
+vegmeout69 *few times a week
Great tips, luv the video

Sister I so needed this..girrllll them braids took my edges smh
love love your videos. you crack me up, what that 'matter of fact' approach! love it :)
can you use JBCO + cocnut oil and t44z or ?
New Subscriber. Also I do puffs everyday almost so I will stop and do a protective style instead.
What is that song you have in the background named? I like it. And i too lost my edges on the right side of my head. I use ginger juice, lavender oil Coconut oil aloe Vera juice and vitamin E on them and they are almost fully grown out in 4 months
Literally feels like my mom was talking to me "NO NO NO NO " lol okay okay I hope I don't give up and keep going with this no weave journey
love the puff
what's a nice style if I'm going to an interview? I want to protect my edges as they are short, but they don't stay neat in twists(and gel doesn't work!).
I am going thru postpartum shedding what styles do you recommend? ?
+Bri Harvey is your hair long enough to do a roll tuck and pin?
Yes my hair is med length
when are going to do the black castor oil challenge again
How long do you think the oil will take before you start seeing some differences? :)x
3 months.
hahhahaha I love you woman!! "we can see your thoughts!"❤❤❤
Are this steps also good for toddlers?
+dmj yes of course but because of the styling options we love for our kids (braids, puffs etc) we just have to work on keeping the tension low.
hi you said you used the hair vitamins for 6 months post....by chance were you breast feeding and is it possible or safe to take them while breast feeding ?
+Sommer Stanislaus I was not breast feeding I would wait until after you breast feed.
Ohhh OK thanks much
Love your skin.
cthu. yes Jamaican black castor oil has gave me my edges back yes lord in have edges it works amazingly.
funny in detail but very informative , love my JBCO

LOOOL!! We can see your thoughts!! DEAD! You're raw LOOL Up until this day I still crack up at your old comment on another video saying "you don't have baby hairs you have adult hairs" LOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!! OMGOSH!! Funnnnyyy girl! haaa!!Yeah I been looking after my edges proper now moisturizing daily no high buns for a year and BOOM bush city up in here ma! Yup i did a 6 month wig challenge last year and peeps got mad when I spit the truth about it snatching off my edges smdh but haaaa now peeps be silently watching all my older edges vids as the GROWTH IS CLEAR as my videos go on without wearing wigs, umm hmm. I love a cute wig but my edges don't! I'm pleased! Fast recovery ;-D
+RCIYAH Sorry about the death of your edges due to wigs but I'm happy that all is "growing" well :-)
If you wear a plastic cap under wig would tht be okay??
+Tamara Thompson if theres any friction on your edges what so ever the hair can be rubbed and damaged.
Do you take hair infinity by itself?
+Keila Bazile Yes hairfinity alone.
what about crochet braids as a protective style
Untouchable Goins no, those pull edges out too
Just an FYI, your instagram links are missing the ".com" so it is saying that there is an error when going to the page.
What about regular castor oil?
regular castor oil works well too.
thank you soo much.
I lost the edges on the left side of my head due to stress. My dermatologist gave me a liquid to try first and it didn't work. He then gave me injections for a couple of months and they are growing back. The JBCO breaks me out and itches horribly bad so I had to stop that mess.
+mswtaz94 have you tried regular castor oil? i think using any oil and giving yourself a scalp massage to stimulate will help grow your edges back as well
+Tasha Gregory Yes I use it but it hasn't made them grow and its making me itch too. They are growing back thought since the injections.
+mswtaz94 do injections hurt ?
What's your lip color in this video?
These are some good tips here ! We get what you should NOT do, but what is missing is how to wear your hair when you have massive breakage on the front. It can be a HUGE Challenge. If you have tips, techniques or ideas on how to put the hair in order to camouflage/work with the breakage.
xoxoxo
Hmmm perhaps a twist out with the hair parted down the middle.
Thank you....
what about finger coils
Well said
