Omg. I've had the same "complaint". I'm not a hair stylist but I do braid/conrows for a fair amount of my friends & family. Yes I'm light handed, I'm trying to save your hair/scalp. Beauty doesn't need to be pain.
Let the church say AMEN! I totally agree!
Wtf? I am the opposite...I am quick to say "ummm this is too tight", "there's too much hair on this", etc...I have an unusually straight hairline...I've been looking like I am wearing a lakefront since I was 2...I can't afford ANY push back and I have a sensitive scalp. I can't even fathom someone saying "pull my hair" at least not to beautician...☕
@@ahub87 oh they exist honey
I wish this type of info was available to me 10-15 years ago 😥. I wore my hair in a ponytail for years and now my edges are paying for it. Good video👏👏👏👏
Gloria Jackson same here....the struggle😣
"That hair has Bill's, that's adult hair boo" 💀😂😂😂😂♥️
P.s your hair/fro is looking beautiful here!
Lol for real tho!
Lol I hate the baby hair thing! Pulling them full grown toddler hairs on your forehead smh
Ok! The baby hair got grandkids!
I LOVE that you pointed out that some people think that they need to “ feel” someone in their hair. Umm not me. I would always point out when getting braids that they were too tight and either my mom or stylist would say “ oh you are just “tender headed”. If I braid to loose it will come out.” What came out was my hair and edges 😳.
Very informative video.
Thank you for being a master hairstylist and educator. I really enjoy your family's videos.
**heavy sigh** 😑. If only I had been aware of this in oh say 1995. 🤦🏾♀️
SweetTeaDarling Me too. 😔
You can get a hair transplant
Wow, you really just broke down some serious knowledge. Believe me, im listening. This is what we all needed to hear. Thank you.
This is valuable info. A hairdresser used to weave my hair. I kept telling her that she was platting it too tight and then pulling the thread even tighter. I noticed my hair thinning and it was horrible. I then asked her how come I was losing hair. Her response was old age. I was so horrified because I know i'm not much older than her. It's a long story why it took me so long to leave .But i left and got info from youtube. My natural hair got back longer and thicker but some of my edges are still damaged. I do wear natural twists and people call me "empress" because it looks nice. The point is that I will never weave my hair ever again. I wear wigs a lot but also use my natural hair. In this way I can moisturize and massage my scalp and sleep with my satin cap. I do not like the idea of sleeping with a wig on. The "got to be glue" people are using is not for me. Long ago people did not use glue.
I am a stylist and I had the same problems u do. I am 4 healthy hair. I 2 have a gentle hand. I feel u. I really like your channel & your beautiful family. Great hair advice. I learn from u 2. Thank You 🙏
Hi Linwood, This information also applies to locs; where the re-twist or interlock method is done way too tight, then on top of that it gets styled in a tight up-do, which eventually will pull out the hair follicle. I did ask the hairstylist to interlock not so tightly, but this did not work, so I ended up not going to the salon anymore, and I have maintained my interlocking myself.
Your Afro is everything!! I love it!!
Watching this series with some hope. My hair has severely thinned from menopause and hypothyroidism. Holding out that there is some hope
Awesome information Linwood! Your definately have the heart of a teacher. ❤
I have traction alopecia my hair is growing back slowly...but, I'm grateful that its growing back 🤗 I just wish I had a faster way to grow it out.
That's great to hear, most sources say that it's permanent hair loss. How are the results now almost 2 years later?
@@sunchamp It has grown back. But, me being bored I chopped all my hair off this year lol.
How did u manage to grow it back tho??
@@slickempslkhrs9975 I changed my eating habits, I ate clean, taken all my vitamins, and I shaved my head because my hair was shedding and it was really damaged, so I started using oils. I used products from a company called Canvas beauty. I also, deep conditioned 3 times out of the week.
aww i’m so happy so heard this because on the web they say that it’s permanent so i was soo scared
Hi love first let me say YOUR hair is amazingly beautiful I almost didn't hear you speaking.....ok but any who thank you for this and the follicle info this video helped a lot. BLESSINGS TO U SIR😘
Thank you so very much dear! I appreciate you watching!
@@GetGlamFam This helped me so much thank you my hair is like curly and how i style it i have to sleep with my hair standing up and that has caused like traction alopecia and i’ve just started seeing my scalp red and thinning i was so worried of going bald thank you so much
@@GetGlamFam is there anyway i could stop the thinning from my crown?
"That hair has bills!" I was rolling around. BTW your afro is giving goals! Love you too boo xx
Wow!!!
Thanks for this great info, am glad to be part of the glam family, not regretting at all.
Am few months to clock 50, since I lost my edges to braids , av been trying to grow it back to no avail so I think bcos of age bt with this teaching you started, my hope revived.
Thanks so much sir, keep on shining in the glory of Almighty God, my love to the glamfam queen &d princesses.
Good morning Glam Fam😘! Blessed to 👀 another day. Thank you for this quick and informative video. I recently experienced some light thinning around my edges and went in with Jamaican Black Castor Oil messages. The edges came back, thicker and healthier. Your mane gives me life! So thick, curly, shiny and soft. Whew, I'm thuu! Love you too Boo! 🙏💖💪
So happy you spoke about this issue. Because people keep saying "your edges are gone" but they continue to do hairstyles to their hair that causes their edges continue breaking off more.
Things to avoid while recovering from traction alopecia

You really make education enjoyable :)
Thank you dear!
Lin, I learn something every time I tune in !!! great content !!
Good Morning!! Thank you so much for the information!!
Such a pleasure dear! Thanks for watching!
Early squad! This is the category I fall in. Always had to have the tight styles from a teen straight into adulthood. Eventually the thinning started to wreak havoc & so I quit the relaxer & went natural. 2yrs later though the rest of my hair is flourishing, the areas behind my ears down to my nape are hardest hit & not filling in😭
Try limiting tight styles and low ponytails, and massaging the affected area daily with a small amount of natural oil, keep in mind, the massage is what stimulates the blood flow, the oil just limits friction on the scalp.
GlamFam did I miss where you elaborated on a gymnast or dancer being more prone to have traction alopecia?😳
It’s because of the low tight ponytails they frequently wear for performances. It would be better to use a gel with a great hold, than doing extremely tight ponytails.
GlamFam thx Lin. I definitely quit the ponytails when I big chopped & I mainly wear my hair now in twist outs & wraps. I don't do braids, crotchet etc as i'm too afraid to lose what i've worked so hard to gain back. A few times a mth I wear puffs & never too tight. I'm conscious that that's the reason why I started thinning in the first place so i'm extra careful
Oh & I incorporate the JBCO mixed with peppermint and/or rosemary oil in my regime. I admit I dont do the massages as often as I should🤦♀️
Thank you for this video. I only just discovered the reason for my mild balding. This is why. people kept telling me it's deficiencies, or genetics, or male pattern balding. But I knew those were not the case (I know my nutrition better than anyone else, track it daily for years on cronometer). I have grown my hair till my hips as a man (donor), and only during this time my hair has been under a lot of stress, inevitable pulling when asleep, or brushing knots, and as a motorcyclist my helmet tugs on my hairline too. All these combined has caused significant balding around my hairline in just 2 years. Don't take this lightly y'all. No men in my family are bald, even my dad at 70 has a crisp hairline. This is self inflicted.
P.s a pharmacist told me he regrew his using a derma roller. Doesn't work on follicles that have died, but in areas where there thinning, the micro-needles will cause surface level punctures that encourage blood flow to the cite and healing in the area, offering the follicles more blood supply. Much love.
Thank you!! This helps so much! Always wondered why my edges just left me. And seems to never want to come back. Granted they are better. You can definitely see the baldness. Slow and long process but I will get my edges back. Eventually.
Thanks Linwood so much for sharing!!😊 I wished I would have known this information sooner. I always loved a sleek ponytail for my daughters and that didn't mix well with thick hair!! Lesson learned the hard way!!!😥 Also I had to get my hair cut (thigh length) because the weight of it was hurting my neck and causing tension with my hairline, not to mention, I also kept it in a bun most of the time. Now I wear my hair out and my neck feels better. It's growing back but it's not as long as it was before. I am looking forward to hearing more in this series. Once again thank you!!❤
The “blood supply” are actually little bulbs of keratin (protein) that supply’s the hair with nutrients!
The follicle has not been pulled out
Hairs that shed will also have the bulb, smaller ones being the hairs closer to the end of their life cycle (before it grows another or doesn’t grow due to aging or other factors)
But in terms of the follicle u cannot see it getting pulled out. If it gets damaged or doesn’t have enough blood supply it could close temporarily or permanently and slowly become vellus hairs (the tiny thin translucent hairs u see over your body and hairline) and maybe even become scarred over to where there is no hair at all in that area.
So do not worry! Shedding or thinning can be fixed with proper diet and sleep and health. Obviously traction alopecia is a bit of a different case with that being mechanical damage, but damaged follicles (from the pulling) could take 2-4 years to recover so if you do not see new hair growth for a while, do not panic. Healthy follicles will start regrowing hair after shedding a few months after. But damaged or pulled out hairs are different. Nonetheless they should produce new hair if not scarred or badly injured.
The human body is strong guys, take care of it, don’t be too stressed because that affects hair health a lot, and try to stay positive.
Ponytails itself are not extremely damaging, it is only if it is too tight, or you wear that style too often for a long period of time
THERE IS HOPE YALL BEST OF LUCK.
@Centurion Sun I think it should grow back with some care
Maybe with minoxidil, prp, or other hair recovery methods.
It could also come back naturally but it just depends.
GlamFam is the best! So much useful info. And your hair ❤️
Break off, not out. What I needed to hear! 😩 harm reduction but for hair (Ik I’m years late) but this was such a boost
Awesome information!!!!!! Thank you GlamFam! #IgotEdges #IloveMyEdges
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Wig caps with a embossed elastic rim can pull out hair also ☹
I believe I have traction alopecia. My hairline has receded a little. Although the difference is very little but there's thinning of hair in front of my head just below my hairline along with sensitivity in that area. Also I had experienced some inflammation and stinging pain around my hairline. Right now all I care about is growing back my hair where it has been thinned. I'm not sure if my follicles are still intact. What can help me grow out my hair back? It stresses me out a lot.
Same situation as yours. did hours got treated? I am having extreme hairloss, Itching, scalp pain Since 2-3 months. I have had tightly pulled hairstyles for years. my left side seems to be having less hairs, and parting is also wide. I have already stopped having tight hairstyle since few days, as I got that intuition that something is wrong. Will my hair grow now? Or Is treatment necessary to grow those hairs back that have fallen recently and keep the remaining hairs?
@@js-fw2rb hey man what happened ? I have a manbun for 3 years but it’s fucked my hairline and i also
Got pain in my temples like a throbbing pain and it just hurts :( going to cut my hair this week I think 😢
Great info! Your Fro is EVERYTHING!!!!
I had a nice set of hair before I started doing my hair in tight braiding hair styles regularly. Now I have traction alopecia :(
I began to notice it right away but I became so insecure with how I looked that I kept getting the braids. It was like a cycle that I couldn't break.
Did it grow back 3 years later ?
👀
This channel is soooo informative. Thank you!
The baby hair😂😂😂! Thanks for sharing, love this video!
wish I had known this years ago. I have severe hair loss in my hair line. 😔
GM, Thank you so much for the information. The struggle is real but I’m not giving up. I’m using the info you’ve shared and it is greatly appreciated. Be Blessed
I love your hair, I'm forwarding this to a few ppl I know. I try to tell them, they don't hear me though! Another great video, thanks GlamFam!
Wow You really did some research for this one. Very educational about yanking out the blood supply with hair strands
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! And you look Amazing with your hair this way.
I love the fluffy combed out look you have here.
love the shirt, love the fro, and of course the information 🤗
Hey Linwood! Your video was very informative and your hair is growing so nicely.
I see so many of my coworkers that wear weaves, wigs and braids that have traction alopecia. The thing I find really sad is that some of these women are in fact natural, but you would never know that since you never see them without the weave. I can understand wanting to change it up, but I believe you should wear your natural hair and give it a break from all the extensions while you still have hair on your head.
I completely agree, the scalp needs time to rest and breathe
Dang! Late to class AGAIN! BTW, that ‘fro gives this Black woman life goals!😂😂😂❤️ Anyhoo, I will be quiet now and take notes - I am sure this stuff will be on the final.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT video! Will you PLEASE keep educating our your young black women/men that this thing is REAL Linwood!!
I'm a bit worried because I try not to wear my hair back so much because I discover a small hairless area right above my ear. Idk what to do. It hasn't spread or seemingly gotten better. Wtd?
Lightly massage the area regularly, and make sure you aren’t pulling it tight. Beyond that, eat plenty of vitamin rich foods. Typically a bit of TLC goes a long way, but it takes some time,
GlamFam thank you so much. I'll keep you posted on any progress
I have no idea how tf to even wear my hair anymore. I have 2 textures in my hair rn (growing out old perm) so wearing it down while it’s natural looks awkward. It’s already pretty short, just barely past my shoulders. I REALLY don’t want to big chop/shave it off😭slick ponytails/buns are the only styles that look cute on me rn, braids expose the traction alopecia on my hairline. Smh idk what to do for styling anymore that won’t pull my hair🤦🏽♀️ thank you for explaining why & how this is happening in so much detail 🙏🏽
Very informative, enjoy y’all channel
Hi, I have been watching your videos for a while. I love your girls and your wife, you have a lovely family.
Thanks for the info Linwood. This is something that should be addressed in order to save our hair, especially the hair line. :)
Your hair looks so nice big and fluffy. Different look
Thanks for information. Fro looking awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember the days when I had to take Tylenol after having braids done. I mean the pain would last a few days. How crazy was that!
OMG.......that's horrible.....I've only had braids twice in my entire life and it was the Goddess braids....the jumbo braids and they braided those too tight.....never again....I'm in my 40s so it's been over 20 years since I've had braids.....
Good morning Linwood. I have this issue with my edges and was wondering isn't reversible?
It can be reversed, so long as the dermal papilla has not been removed. In the meantime, try not to wear styles that pull on the edges, and massage the scalp daily with a SMALL amount of all natural oil. Keep in mind, the oil isn’t doing the trick, the massage is.
It helps increase the circulation and increase the blood flow to the follicles.
Ok thank you so much for replying. Keep bringing us great videos with helpful tips, information and styles. Glamfam fan for life❤️❤️.
@@GetGlamFam
I read on essence.com that aloe vera can regrow edges. Any truth to this claim?
I wish I had known!
Hello, I have questions: what water temperature should you wash hair that is thick/dense 4c? And do you take any credence to employing a water softening system/filtration to help eliminate toxic/ harsh chemicals ( hard water)in efforts of bolstering healthier hair?
Thanks for the informative hair education. I need this information more than air, at this point.😀
I suffer from traction alopecia and it hit my self confidence, self esteem, and feeling hopeless. I’ve cut my hair completely off in 2015 it grow back so healthy and it starting falling back out 2017. I’ve been sick taking a lot of steroids for a course of years. Then January 2022 I caught Covid and was put on a lot of steroids due to me having other underlining health issue. That’s when I notice an increase of my hair falling out or my hair would dread up if I didn’t put in a ponytail. Plus getting steroids injections for both my hips. Last month I gotten really sick I thought I was going to die. I was transported to the hospital on C-Pap and they started loading more steroids into me. I remember I couldn’t breath I have a bunch of doctors and nurses around me screaming all these medical terminology and they had to put me on their C-Pap machine. I had my hair in a hair wrap and the nurse begin to take my wrap off and in between me trying to breath. I said please don’t take my hair wrap of due to me being embarrassed about the lack of hair I have on my head. I felt so vulnerable and embarrassed. The nurse was like. Ms.____ we’re trying to save your life. She notice the look on my face and she closed the curtain so nobody could see me. I’ve made a decision to cut what’s left of my hair. I don’t know should I go to the barbershop or the beauty shop. So keep me lifted in prayer as I take this new journey on embracing my bald head💪🏾👑✊🏾💇🏾♀️
Thanks Linwood!
As per usual, you have given your subscribers great insight and information, Linwood. Could you demonstrate the actual massage techniques that you use for hair growth?
Your fro is popping!
Great vlog, I have thinning hair in the middle of my head. What are good styles for this situation?
So what your saying is once it's pulled out there's no hope of it growing back? Cause I'm suffering with that same problem and was really hoping you could recommend something I could try or do to fix it
Thanks, Linwood.
Hey, GlamFam! Can’t wait for the postpartum video Linwood. You are becoming a hair guru! I have a question about no heat methods. My hair seems to hate them all and thrives with low heat, quality oils and a good leave in conditioner. Is this HEALTHY for my hair in the long run? Beautiful fam! Thank you.
I love this video... so there is nothing that would bring the hair back once its considered alopecia?
Derma rolling gives good results combined with natural plant extracts and oils.
Here is a list of things to avoid while recovering from traction alopecia ua-cam.com/video/-DZ-38t3ZZY/v-deo.html
All right Mr. Linwood giving me 70s teas.....
Hey Lin you gave great info. Unfortunately I'm that person that braids super tight and will try to catch every piece of hair! I do it unconsciously but I'm working on it!
Thx for the video. Any thoughts on potential therapies? Rogaine? Castor oil?
Rogaine will give you an idea of which hair roots are still active. However it's not a permanent solution. Here are things to avoid while recovering from traction aolpecia ua-cam.com/video/-DZ-38t3ZZY/v-deo.html
Very informative. Will share with my friends who might benefit from this.. by the way, where can one get your @glamfam bracelets??
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for the info
Yep! It happened to me! I got cornrows in 2012 with a middle part into a pony tail and the lady pulled my hair so tight I now have a permanent middle part. Like you could have parked a yacht in there. It is better now but still a mess. My poor middle part and edges ..... RIP..... Literally!
After watching your video, i can finally say that i no longer care about the poor amounts of hair i lost because of tight ponytail. My hairline will probably never be that full, that's it. I'm actually lucky, since you can't tell. I stopped at the "right" moment.
I've had clients tell me that I shampoo too soft and I needed to use my nails to get their scalp clean. I was like honey I don't want your DNA under my fingernails. That can cause hair loss to right? Especially if the hair is wet.
Did I missed the treatment as listed in the heading? What are some practical treatments?
Yes ma’am, low tension styles and massaging the affected area with a small amount of all natural oil. The massage helps increase circulation and blood flow to the area, which helps stimulate growth
What are your recommendations for treatment? New subscriber!!!!
Thank you for sharing
Hi Linwood, Thank You for sharing with us this information. Love your fro. You're so awesome !! Have a blessed weekend!!
Linwood, I want a shirt. How do I order one?
GlamFam what are the ideal hairstyles for someone who's hair is starting to thin?
Yes I have no hair line due to 2016 up until the lock down I have had my hair in braids. My hair line is thin to nothing and the middle is very thin. I am now considering getting micro locks.
I have locs and I think I have this on the side of my head, next year in cutting them off and I’m super scared about the just having to deal with a big bald patch there 😩😩
Please tell me you are going to do a tutorial on how you styled your hair in this perfect fro?!
Yessss @ adult hair!!!
Thx Linwood ☺👌
Linwood is getting his Colin Kapernick on with that fro.
Hello, question: Is it reversible? Do you agree with the use of black castor oil to regrow the hair?
I have seen a small little hairless spot(very small) at the front of my hair the exact part you pointed out but idk if it due to pull cause I used to do a lot of buns however since I see the spot I don't even want to comb my hair cause I'm tender headed (especially at the edges) would you recommended me doing box braids even tho its tender?
I had no idea that 20 years of braiding my hair would result in losing my hair. This happened to me on the top of my head really badly. Been wearing wigs lately. I just wish I had known. And young girls, especially young black girls know this happens, so why do they still braid their hair? I know, because it looks so damn cool. That’s why I did it. Damn I wish I had stopped braiding years ago.
Also I have a video request: parting hair for braiding I tried to do my daughters hair into a pony tail but it’s not quite right. I would love to see how u accomplish that
Thanks Linwood for the hair tips cause I am needing to learn more on traction alopecia. Anyways is there any advice on how I should grow my natural hair out? Btw I am colour treated and natural so it's a little harder
Your hair 😍😍
Happens to me quite often when i try push my hair back with my fingers, and now im noticing thinning in my front hairline, is there any way i could to regrow my hari back other than using minoxidil, hair transplant or finestride??, I heard it's possible if the hair follicles still alive, can i use rosemary oil?
Is there no solution? I've been using temple balm and consistently wrapping my edges up and I've been seeing really good growth/retention but only for the hair That's already there (if that makes sense) it still not as dense as i would like. I can send you pictures of it. I was relaxed as a child on top off constant crochet braids and pulled styles. When i got on my own i went natural
idk if this is traction alopecia but my barber messed up and gave me a bald spot and that was 5 months ago and it has not grown back. I am only 15 to so i really dont know what to do.
Hey I know this video is old but I am suffering from edges thinning and I want to know if wearing a lace wig obviously glueless, will that cause my hairline to get worse?
Yes it will cause further damage.
