I rolled out of bed, bonnet on, seeing you posted. Ain't taking my bonnet off till I made my comment!
YASSS for the bonnet!! 💙
What about the wristband you're wearing? I want 1 😔
That was very interesting. I’ve been natural for about 7 years and my hair is still short. I am not losing hair in the crown but my hair is shorter and more coarse there. It seems to grow much slower there and in the past it would feel sore and itch there more than other spot on my head. It is better now. I try not to do too many updo styles (ponytail and kanekalon) or too much heat application but it still doesn’t grow as fast. My hair in general seems to grow very slowly. I’m expecting and hoping for progress but with that comes the need for convenient styling. Sooo...a lot of the time that includes braids and updos. My twist outs have become trash so don’t do those often. My go to is my wash n go with eco styler gel. Any general advice??
Come October, I’ll be 2yrs natural and I haven’t used any form of heat. My top crown area is in pain as I type 😭. Before going natural, I noticed the same pain and bad breakage. The breakage has lessened, but the pain is still painful 😩. I notice this every once in awhile, when I style my hair. Not sure if I have CCCA, but I searched my symptoms and came across this. Also, the sore spot area, the hair is a more coarse texture.
those relaxers back in the day messed up a lot of heads
I've bean a cosmetologist for over 24 years. I also studied Tricology so can fully understand your love for what you do. Really appreciate you. Keep the good work up by educating others.
Do you have ideas for solutions healing trichorrhexis nodosa??
I love your GlamFam channel, even though I suffer with CCCA. Your wisdom and sense of humor make me smile🥰
Thank You so much for the information. Old white lady here with super curly kinky hair that I straighten all the time. I even had some of the lye straighteners done when I was in my 20s. But now I know what I should do because of your videos. Thanks thanks thanks.
My pleasure, thanks so much for watching!
You also forgot to mention it's HEREDITARY. MY grandmother, and mother had it. I've never permed or used a hot combed my hair. I noticed it at 13 years old. When I hit puberty. I'm now in my 40's And the spot that started the size of my finger is now the size of my hand. The only thing that has helped is taking things to decrease DHT. CURRENTLY there is no cause for CCCA according to modern medicine. As my doctor said women of color have it in the middle of their head and white women tend to get alopecia from their hairline to center of their head.
Very informative and straight to the point!
Thank you dear! I truly appreciate you watching!
i'm glad you did this video, Linwood. i have CCCA, and my hair will never grow back. it has been a rough few years since being diagnosed -- you know, the issues of feeling less than a woman, wondering if anyone would ever find me attractive without hair, threatening to cut all the hair off, deciding to invest in hair wraps as opposed to wigs, etc. -- the struggle is real *head nod* so thank you for educating the masses on the importance of hair care before it's too late!
on another note... i keep wanting to hit that play button behind your head... it looks like a UA-cam button *lQQking*
My pleasure dear! I’m hoping that these videos are able to help people before it’s too late.
That’s our UA-cam silver play button 😊 it was awarded to us when our channel reached 100,000 subscribers
congrats on the award!! well-deserved, i believe :o)
Hi alleyezonme 79 - Check out Alopecia Jass on UA-cam. She has an amazing story and just maybe her hair regiment can help. It sounds crazy, but one must always have faith, and knowledge is power in every way!
I subscribed a few weeks ago, Liam :o) I am going to purchase her hair system - about $140 - as soon as I save up the money. I'll let you know how it goes :o) Thank you

Thank you for this video i have scarring alopecia is this the same as the topic you are discussing in this video
Its very frustrating i have more or less come to accept there are so many "cures" online etc that i just would get so upset that i had to step right back...
Stay Blessed 🇬🇧💯💖
I’m a white woman with FFA. Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. It’s rare and scars the roots. Lace front wigs are the best thing. I’ve learned so much from the black women on UA-cam. And I don’t have to pay $2000 for a wig!! Lots of white women are paying that. I came across your videos. Just wondering. Have you ever made a wig with glue?
We are lucky to have access to good wigs
Very informative. I love how you're not only into styling but, you're also very knowledgeable about maintaining a healthy scalp and hair. Kudos to you!!!
You answered a lot of questions for me thank you and your hair is too die for
My pleasure dear, I hope this helps someone and saves them future heartbreak. Thank you so very much!
Just diagnosed today with CCCA , thank you for the information.
Your channel is everything! I love your personality, content and family....Your wife is such a friend in my head. 😘Tfs always
Thank you so very much dear! We greatly appreciate you!
Hi Lin! I had a tendency to pull my hair when I was stressed and I was relaxed. So now I'm a little thin in the top not much but I noticed. So thanks for informing me!
Such a pleasure! Awareness can REALLY help! That way you are much more intentional about how you treat those strands! Thanks so much for watching! 💙
Thanks for sharing. Was hoping you were going to give advice on how to treat CCCA once diagnosed.

This entire series has been so very informative. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Love you Glam Fam!❤️💕❤️💕
My pleasure! There are still a few more topics to cover on this playlist, it’s a lot of information!
Hello I'm 70 years old and have been diagnosed recently with lupus I have what is called discoid alopecia was yes. Starts at the crown of my head and going to the front I noticed that you talked about many different ways but not lupus I am interested and knowing your feelings on it so would you kindly reply so that I will know how to treat the baldness that now I am dealing with from the front to the crown of my head I certainly appreciate your videos and your knowledge of what you're doing thank you so very much
Thanks for bringing light about this subject to your platform. I speak about this subject all the time and I am a CCCA Alopecia Survivor ♥️
How did you save your hair?
This way hun --->>> ua-cam.com/video/rRB39hwItA4/v-deo.html
How did you save your hair ?
I suffer from CCCA, was diagnosed back in 2013/14 after being natural for 3 to 4 years. Now a year before being diagnosed, I went to a different Derm. who suggested I keep my hair well moisturized , which I thght I was. It may have been from years of abuse of relaxers since a child, but I do feel it's hereditary as well. My aunt on my dad side today me years before any thinning that baldness runs in the family in the women. I've learned now 8 yrs later that I need to change my diet, and try to avoid inflammatory foods and take things to help keep it at bay
No wonder my hair is so damaged. This was sooo informative. Thank you.
Idk if he will see this....but you are God like to black women. May GOD bless you with health, wealth and continued knowledge! I love your soul!!!!!
Thank you so much for that information. I'm almost bald 🤪 but it's nice to know the causes.
Hey. I love that your videos are always informative
Hi there!! Thank you dear! Be blessed! 😊💚
Thanks for your video. I was diagnosed with ccca. I don’t wear wigs/weaves/etc. my hair is natural and I was told this condition is due to inflammation in the body which causes an autoimmune response. I still have hair - I control ccca by cutting out red meat and lowering sugar intake. I also take vitamin d and zinc regularly.
You are so knowledgeable. Thank you for the information. Yes the burning from the relaxer. When I was probably 13 my Auntie in Alabama gave me a perm. It must have been extra super strength. 2 minutes on my head it was burning like crazy and when she was washing the relaxer out she was scrubbing my head with her nails. Hunnneyyy..My scalp and above my ear were burned l ended up with scabs in my head.
😩😫 that is so heartbreaking! My first relaxer was terrible with the burning too!
I know your probably going to find issue with this but as a natural I tried the co wash the deep conditioner the braiding up the crown area to protect it always. Until one day I sat with pure aloe for over an hour. My broken dry crown is now almost as long as my past shoulder length hair and it’s still a bit dry but doesn’t burn or it’s like it used to. My perms always started at the crown...if we only knew what we know now. Thanks for all your great vids!❤️
Awesome! You found what works best for you.
All of your vlog are so informative. I have learned so much from watching you about my hair.
Linwood, this is a Great, direct explanation. Educate us. I have never heard how omg, when it starts & where to start/end rinsing. Yasss...too many times my scalp on fire with that too D hot dryer. Love your hair! It has life & body w/fantastic curls & looks so soft.
Relaxers now libked to cancer/ fibroids . CCCA means no more chemicals or glue on scalp. In addition to high glucose/ A1C. Sugar/ high starch diets increase inflammation which we are often prone too.
Your channel is so amazing. I learn so much. I wished I lived closer so I can get proper salon care. Y'all stay bless
Love this!! You should make millions for your content!!
Linwood, I'm so glad to have discovered your UA-cam video. My grandfather was also named Linwood, by the way (small world). I've been to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with CCCA and indicated those patches of hair on the crown of my scalp and behind it will never grow back. I'm transitioning from straightening my hair with a heat brush to an all natural curl style, so I hope this will help. I don't want to face being partially bald for the rest of my life! Your video and some of the comments below are very encouraging. Thank you!
I enjoy your videos. You teach facts and not a bunch of BS. Thank you for keeping it 💯
Ok say that name again!!! Lol. That sure is a mouth full. Most salons that I have ever gone to would refuse to perm a 2yr olds hair. That’s crazy.
True, most salons would, but I also know many parents who will do it at home not realizing how dangerous relaxers are, especially on such delicate skin.
I love how you give so much great information!!! God Bless you & the family!!!
I loved your tutorials. I wish we had a hair stylist like you in Tampa that knows how to care for hair the right way. I’ve been natural for five years and I’m very afraid to step into another salon because most salons get you in and out, treating everyone’s hair the same. In the meantime, keep your tutorials coming 😉.
😍thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Have a blessed day and week family!😉📿
Linwood, this was SUPER informative! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You NEED to educate some of these stylist out here that is slapping perm on people's head/hair w/o proper education of the product and more importantly, the negative effects of the products. I have a stylist who REFUSES to base my scalp! Keep up the good work!
It's time to look for another stylist ones who knows about hair care and listen to the clients. I have CCCA and trying to grow my hair back in the crown. Big chop May 21, 2018. My stylist rarely condition my hair after shampoo. I always base my hair or make sure my scalp was moisturized before a touch up. Didn't know that when my stylist spray my hair with oil sheen it only seal the hair but not moisturize. Didn't know the type of products to use on scalp and hair and understanding hair porosity. I am paying the price now. The rest of my hair is growing faster in it's natural state than the relaxer.
Hi Pamela, so sorry to hear about your CCCA. It's amazing to know what some of these called professionals are doing to damage our hair and our scalps! Linwood and other knowledgeable professionals are here to help us (thank God!). When you really think about it, it all makes perfect sense. I wish I knew what I know now YEARS ago! Not things like if your scalp is burning - WASH IT OUT! that is common sense, but more along the line of protein/moisture balance, lye vs no-lye, moisturizing and sealings, using clarifying shampoo, what oils are best for hair growth and overall health of your hair and just as importantly caring for your SCALP!!! I'm lucky to have any damn hair left! Check out 'Alopecia Jass' on UA-cam...her story and journey if remarkable! You sound like you went natural after your big chop in May...and she is also a natural who had alopecia and helped to cure it with natural oils and remedy. The hair struggle is REAL, but with patience and knowledge and the proper products, we can all heal together.
Thanks soo much Liam for your support and the UA-cam channel 'alopecia Jass' in which I have been watching. You and me both are lucky to have any hair left on our heads!!!! When I went natural with the big chopped in May 2018, I have visit the hair salon to show the progress of my growing hair 3 months later. One beautician asked what products was I was using and they was amazed how my hair was growing. I went on explaining in how I had to learn my hair porosity, deep conditioning, pre-poo and another beautician than mentioned yeah, a lot of people do not know about hair porosity. As I was explaining about how after I deep condition my hair, my curls be popping and the 3rd beautician mentioned deep conditioning does that. I think my hair was over-processed when getting a touch up. I was wondering why the back of my head I had new growth,(broken hair) but the front of my head my hair was still straight and had very little new growth. Each time after service one side of my permed hair was shorter than the other side and It was a bob haircut asymmetrical. It was getting shorter and shorter each time I go there. Now we know how to properly take care of our hair with GlamFam, you and others.
Great information, thanks!
Thank you kindly! I appreciate you!
This video helped me understand what was going in with my life Partner's scalp, Thank you soooo much!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! And thank you for your recent Instagram post that led me here. I love your videos and content.
Do you have any clients that have retained length or were able to overcome CCCA? What type of regimen do you suggest for these individuals? Products?
Thanks, Linwood. Didn't know scratching go do much harm.
It definitely can. I see people lose leg hair and everything behind consistent scratching like that 👍🏽
Lemme go scratch my leg hairs then and save money on laser hair removal 😂😂😂
I think mine came from relaxers.... i started getting them around 13 or 14 and the hair in my middle and crown area broke out and never grew past about 3 inches.... im 34 now, I stopped relaxing around 2004 or 2005 .... black women STOP relaxing altogether, even when done properly, its just not healthy
Man Linwood...I've never met a stylist that is as educated, and carefully attentive as you. I can see you REALLY care about your clients and their welfare, and not just the money they pay. All stylists, young and old, need to take a class given by you, because everyone I've had did these things that you say is a no no! Grrrrr…….
Hiya Linwood! Why am I only now seeing this?! Lol! This is part what of this informative series?! Good gravy...yt making us into a poppy-show or what? My post notifications are on & alarm bell is rung...still not consistently coming into my feed. Oh well...just glad this one did come into my feed. Such great info, tips & education. Cheers for this!🙏💖🙋
Thank you Linwood!!!❤️❤️ Where were you like 5 years ago? I needed you!!!😭
Yaas you better wear that FRO!!! This series has been very informative👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Be Blessed
New research is actually discovering that there is a gene related to the hair loss
This series is very informative. Thank you. 😊😊😊
Thank you Glam Fam for all your detailed and thoughtful videos with the family and about hair care. May you please make a video about lace wig adhesives the different types. I have lace wigs and never needed an adhesive but I just invested in human hair wig cut the lace but it does not look seamless and the lace is lifting which is why I need assistance in what is good without messing up my skin or edges. Thank you and great job on your beautiful channel! 😘
Wow! I didn't know this had a name! Thank you for this information.
Thank you for this very informative topic 👏
Thank you for this video. I'm looking for scalp care videos and came across this one. I have been diagnosed with evolving CCCA, meaning I caught it early and some scarring is present at the site of my biopsy. You're so right, there is honestly NO definitive cause of this type of alopecia. I will say that reducing trauma to the scalp has to be priority number one though. CCCA is a lymphocytic alopecia, white blood cells are found around the follicles. The body's immune system is triggered, inflammatory response occurs, and eventually follicles are lost. Women who wear their hair natural or relaxed can experience it.
I was recently diagnosed too. I dont have relaxed hair, have never worn tight weaves and havent worn braids in forever-----i was still afflicted with it. There was a journal article recently published that suggests that there is a PADI3 gene mutation that causes CCCA.
What shampoo and conditioners do you use??
@@tifipaul5686 😮 Wow! Thanks for the information, will definitely be reading up on that.
@@grierrichards2463 My Dermatologist has me using Ketoconazole shampoo. The Pharmacist told Nizoral is the same thing, no prescription needed. That addresses the itching, but CCCA causes severe inflammation. I'm not sure if you e been diagnosed as well, but if you're experiencing symptoms please get a biopsy performed by a Dermatologist.
@@Nic2Blk has your physician prescribed a steroidal solution for you to apply to the scalp? My doctor prescribed betamethasone. I apply it twice daily to the affected area for 2 weeks, then I give it a 1 week break. I repeat this every month.
A lot of ppl don’t let their hair rest from certain styles. I always have my hair braided but I always give it a rest for a few days and I massage my scalp and grease it. As I got older it’s hard to grow out the crown of my hair vs how my mom has did it but we gotta educate ourselves and stop trying to not have “nappy” hair.
This information was very helped to me.
I stay learning something from you! Thx🤗
What are the best shampoo/conditioners to use for CCCA? What products can you use to keep your hair moist and hydrated.
This is so informative. Thank you so much.
Very informative! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information. I suffer with burn pain itching in the center of my head. No doctor can tell me what is wrong. My hair in not falling out but the crown seems thinner than the remainder of my head. Again thanks for the information .
Does it feel like its on fire? Check your iron levels and vitamin d and b
Thank you very much very informational. Always have sores and very dry scalp when I had perm now that I'm natural and condition my scalp less sores only in back now
I've never had braids or relaxers I have ccc
Very informative...thank you
Hi Glamfam; Luv You Too Boo & Your Beautiful Family!😍😍😍
Thank you for sharing this my Dr told me I would never be able to grow my hair back. I just started using Kelidiscop miracle drops and they have been helping but is there any other suggestions to help my hair growth? It's been over 15 years and I'm tired of wearing wigs!
ua-cam.com/video/rRB39hwItA4/v-deo.html
Great information and content tyvm for sharing 💜🙂
How about when coloring, does the timer start at finish or when you start coloring?
I have CCCA but I don’t have and baldness or bald patches but my hair is kinda thin. It really bothers me because I’m only 25 years old. I feel unattractive because I’m always hiding under wigs. I would rather not have to use any of that. I’m natural. I have been for 2 years now. I use to scratch the heck out of my scalp like I had flees or something. Not realizing that there was an internal issue. Due to the excessive scratching, I had experienced a large amount of breaking in the center of my hair because that’s where it itched the most. So that’s where I scratched the most. The hair in that area grew back. But overall, my hair is still pretty thin. Most people think I have pretty thick or normal hair density with my hair in its natural state. But when it’s straightened, that’s when you notice that o have really thin hair.
Same here. I went to a dermatologist and was diagnosed with it. I wear wigs now.

Thanks so much for sharing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Also sensitivity to dha/ testosterone
Great Information!
Thanks a million!
Thank you for this. You mentioned scar tissue. Does that mean the hair will not grow back in that area?
In most instances, yes. Sometimes you can see it thicken some, but it depends on how advanced it is.
So informative!
Your amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing this, because I was wondering what was going on with my slow growth in my crown area.😔
I had plan on skipping this video felt it wouldn't have any info for me, how wrong I was thank you Linwood.
Thanks so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yes I love your channel
Thank you dear!
Excellent info. So nothing can really be done naturally about it right? I've had a biopsy done and they want to do a series of multiple injections along with medications but I'm not that desperate after looking at reviews of people who have done it. I don't care for pain. And it can return they told me (breakage and bald spots) . I stopped the braiding and perms and have seen a little growth in the crown. But my mom and grandmother had similar symptoms... But sitting under a hot hooded hair dryer info makes sense (I don't use that either anymore). Good info (scratching the scalp, etc.)
So I have just been diagnosed with CCCA and I have been wanting to get sisterlocks, would you suggest I wait, not get them at all or just deal with what I already have? I went to the dermatologist and she saw the CCCA in two places, on the crown and around the edges... I was only concerned with the edges because I can clearly see that but I didn’t see the crown area.. it’s not as noticeable as the edges but it’s there.. I really want locs.. opinion?
How do you know if you have a fungal infection on your scalp?
Hello glam fam I have a few questions ever since I was a little girl and natural the crown spot has bothered me and numerous of times I have rubbed it bald and even relaxed it bothers me and can ccca mess with nerves because unless I'm shampooing that is the only part of my scalp I can "feel"
It doesn’t typically deal with the nerves, but often that area can be prone to issues if you sweat in your head, causing the scalp to be dry in that area. The dryness leads to itching and scratching, which can cause breakage, damage to the scalp and follicles, and increased sensitivity in the area.
Your knowledge and persona are beyond compare. Tell me please is LPP the same as CCCA? Is it also true that the hair loss is irreversible? I'm holding on to my faith but scammers are everywhere. Thank you for your reply. You are a blessing.
Ok..i have a question i definitely think i scratch my scalp to a fault...i wanted to know can the hair grow back??.i have a few bald spots
I’ve recently been diagnosed but my doctors are saying it’s from trauma, Possibly from having fever an extended period of time (Covid-19). I don’t have a history of braids or relaxers.
I think this is what I have because my bald spot started in the middle and looks similar to the pic. Some of it is growing back but I have some shiny spot that have not grown in. I went to the dermatologist and she said the scalp is inflamed but was not that much of a help
Hi I was just diagnosed with this my hair is thinning my derm said I can continue getting relaxers but should I get the no lye relaxer and what is a keritins is this good to do Thank you derm gave me injections and ointment for scalp
I have this but didn’t get relaxers/dyes and rarely straightened my hair. It seems like the more I took better care of my hair the more it’s falling out and I hate it :/ no dry flaky scalp either so idk what it is.
Any ideas on what it means when your scalp has a light burning sensation that comes and goes from the crown to the apex?
See a dermatologist
So GlamFam! I wanted to know if you've heard of anyone EVER reversing CCCA? I know there are numerous ways to reverse hair loss, but everyone(doctors too) say it's permanent. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you and God bless! Hugs to the Family!
Try Alopecia Free with Jass and BlackHairandSkincare (spelled just like that) here on UA-cam.
@@meriani777 Thank you! I'm familiar with Jass, she's AMAZING!!!
I Googled actual scientific studies on ccca. A recent study found that the scalps of ccca sufferers are probiotic-depleted. This is a unique feature of ccca found in no other type of alopecia which needs to be treated specifically. So I mecroneedled my bald spot with a 0.75 needle and applied yogurt mixed with amla, bhringraj, coffee, and some oils to my whole scalp. I massaged the bald spot for 5 mins and let the hair mask sit under a plastic cap for an additional 45 mins before I washed it out. I did this a few times and my hair regrowth was remarkable in a short time period. I tried all manner of other diy remedies and nothing worked without the yogurt. Nothing. However the hair will fall right back out as soon as you stop using the yogurt treatment. I have an idea to facilitate permanent hair regrowth in ccca cases but I won't post it because I could market it someday.
Good info, so now I have high
porosity, dry brittle hair and possible CCCA crown area so what type products do I use.will it be sulfate free? I use an organic topical booster with DHT.I thought this would help. What do you think?
I've read that DHT can actually attack the hair follicle. I had a biopsy done about a month ago and I was diagnosed with CCCA. You have to stop the inflammation so that hair follicle isn't destroyed. CCCA can NOT be diagnosed just by looking at the scalp, please please have them do a biopsy. Good luck!
NikiSyl78 I was just diagnosed yesterday and given prescriptions has your hair started growing back yet?
Are there any natural and home remedies to reverse and heal this?
It's caused by dht miniaturizing the hair follicle. Need dht blockers asap
Does the rice water really work. I've been hearing alot about that
I don't know what type of alopecia I have.
See a dermatologist as soon as you can. If you are black or brown, see one who is familiar with black and brown people. There are 7 or 8 types of alopecia. You want to be diagnosed correctly. I don't know about the others but CCCA can only be diagnosed properly with a biopsy. Some people have more than one type of CCCA. I have CCCA and traction alopecia.
Do you have a video on telegen affluvium? I was diagnosed with that a year ago. Lose all my hair but it grew back. It was depressing. But I feel like the condition is coming back!!!!!
This was great, thank you. I was just diagnosed with CCCA and hereditary thinning. I did tend to rub/ scratch my scalp and finger detangle my coils a lot, and have done a fair amt of braids, Dominican wash and sets and silk presses. The center of my scalp is always sore and sensitive. Caught the CCCA early, so it is pre-scarring and pre hair loss and in the first week of treatments to treat inflammation. Do you have any suggestions for hair maintenance moving forward? I currently have shoulder length 4a hair, getting a tapered cut this weekend. Planning on keeping short for several years at least, but unsure if I can ever grow my hair long again due to this? Does this means no more twist outs/ silk presses/ braids ever? Are some of these styles more ok thanothers? Is there a frequency that is safe? Thank God for UA-cam and stylists like you!
hi can i ask a few questions?
1. how do u know if it’s pre-scarring or if it’s too late and already scarred?
2. how do you treat it pre-scarring? what kind of treatments did u do to help?
3. are the parts that were affected by the alopecia the same length as the rest of your hair?
Thank you so much and I scratch when I'm stressed to the point where I can't even touch my scalp because it's so sore but if I stop scratching do you think that my hair will grow back or should I just shave it all off
ua-cam.com/video/rRB39hwItA4/v-deo.html
I believe I have it. My hair is fine now but has hard time growing the crown area past an inch. I can't wear braids in the area because it irritates me and makes me scratch. Mine I think is stress related as I pat and scratch my head a lot up there area. It grows alot when I massage instead or use denman to lightly brush the area
Glycerin works well to keep natural hair moist. Apply it to your hair after towel drying then twist your hair as protection. Also mix organic aloe with pumpkin seed oil and apply to hair and scalp, put on a plastic cap and let it set for 20 mins before shampooing your hair.
Can you recommend a dermatologist etc in Georgia, please? I really think I have this. I just want my hair back.
