Yes ma’am. I’ve been trying to tell “them” that hair growth is internal. I started taking vitamin D3 + K2…10,000iu a day of D3. Plus I started taking collagen peptide powder/hydrolyzed collagen powder (unflavored bone broth powder daily). Then I started with a tablespoon of liquid silica just for that extra boost in my water;my hair grew like a weed in 2 months. That collagen is the truth. My right knee, ankle and bottom of my left foot were in constant pain. I couldn’t hardly rebound anymore (I have the bellicon and that’s the softest thing going). The collagen and bone broth powders took care of all the pain. For the cherry on top, I finally got my diet in order; whole food!!! No sugars and carbs only from green veggies. What a difference all of that has made for my rebounding, hair growth, skin & I’ve lost so much weight and I’m still loosing. Thank you for these workouts. They’re the perfect length.
Me too sis! Everything you said here minus the collagen and silica soooo I will try seeing the wizard about that collagen after a bit more research then check out that silica 😁 hooray for you though 🎉 this hair growth and thickness I have is beautiful...I just leave it alone and mist it with aloe...no oils to very minimal oils..#winning
@@dandeelion I’ll have to rewatch the video. 😂 been a year. But hair loss tends to be something internal. An issue with the gut based on the foods we eat. Yes hairstyles can damage the hair but when we start loosing hair and it’s not a hairstyle that caused it , it’s internal. Besides the super nice hair, and when I think it can’t get better, all forehead lines are gone. Not one wrinkle and natural glowy skin and I’ve noticed, recently, that I’m not ashy when I get out of the shower. I’ll see what the cold weather gives. When I drink water I put a half serving in my water these days. Collagen is the glue that holds us together. Besides hair and skin, you’ll see all kinds of improvements especially the joints.
@@TheePrettyGirlSwag I so much agree. It all starts from the inside so true. Even speaking/ giving yourself positive affirmations does wonders. Telling your body thank you and showing yourself love goes the distance. I'll look into collagen. Again, thanks 👍🏾
Wow! It’s so refreshing to have been lead to this video. Black UK Female. ✅✅✅ Everything resonates. And you humour is 👌🏾 Thank you for the tips and the prompts. Greatly appreciated, Sis. 💫🫶🏾
Whew! Thank you for this! I’ve been Loc’d for 8 months now and I have 4c hair. All your points are true for me. I was wondering why I noticed thinning a few months ago… the cold, dry air. AND lack of moisture… AND not retwisting on schedule. I think I got it now. 🥴😬
Im sooo glad i came across your video the way that you have described your hair and its breakage sounds exactly like my situation I'm also anemic and vitiman D deficit. Thanks for the advice gotta start taking those vitamins again
Thank you queen, been a hard month mentally dealing with this and your video has helped me so much with feeling better, cant wait to give an update! One of my saddest periods in my loc journey for real.
I don't have locs but I had them before years ago and wore them for five years. I have very curly frizzy hair so my locs were frizzy and I didn't care for that. I do love them on other people. Yours look really nice.
Going through this right now. I'm sure its because I scratch soooo much! This wasn't an issue before tbh, but I know I scratch too hard. My hair was super dry, but my new loctician has been helping me find a new regimen for moisture etc. I use aloe water and jojoba oil along with sweet almond oil. I have vitamin D3 at home, so I will start taking that again. I want to have my loctician crochet my roots once they get long enough to attach.
Yeah i was having that issue too and scratching in my sleep. I was over oiling my scalp so my skin was irritated and was adding to the breakage. Once I stopped applying oil directly to my scalp and using acv rinses the issue was gone instantly!
OMG! Thank you so much for this video! I initially thought it was solely the color that damaged my hair and stopped my growth, but I definitely need to start taking my vitamins again and get this ice eating (anemia) in check! 🙏🏽
I recently went to get a retwist and there was root breakage scattered everywhere. I have hair similar to yours, really dense 4b-4c so I was totally confused as to why this was happening but your video has helped me a lot. I am also anemic and I’ve only just started to take my pills again so hopefully that will help. I also have decided to stop getting styles every retwist in hopes the low manipulation will help. Thanks so much for your info!
Aww you are so welcome. Similar to you, because of the density of my hair, when I was a loose natural it would break all the time but because it was dense I wouldn’t notice the breakage until I was braiding it or putting into very small sections. So now having locs, it’s alot easier to catch any breakage. That’s great you are taking your pills again you should start to see a difference real soon, especially with the low manipulation which will help alot!
Thank you for this! I’m 7 almost 8 months into my loc journey and started experiencing this and I was feeling sad about it and comparing my loc journey to other people’s. I may need to take Vitamin D more and will see if that makes a difference. Also I was getting a retwist every 2 months and may change it to once a month because my hair also grows away from my locs.
This was very helpful advice since you have the same hair type and experience as me. Evem down to having a Vitamin D deficiency. Im going to try to follow this advice and sew the results
thanks. Informative. I have same issues.. Fortunately, i started taking calcium with vitamin d and iron tablets 2 days before discovering this video lol Keep up the good work. Stay blessed
This video helped me out on allll aspects we have the exact same hair type and I was having the same problem in my crown area I think I’m lacking vitamins for myself. Thank you so much for sharing sis 😌💙
So greatful I came across your channel because I’m having this issue. I suffer from anemia too, also o scratch in the same spot all the time because it’s the driest spot also I feel this tingly pulling sensation in that spot. I never knew why my hair always breaks easily in the middle of my head but now I have a few guesses on what it can be thanks for the advice ❤
Aww so glad I could help! I also just did an update video with some more tips that have helped me recently so if you have time maybe see if any of them are of any use to you aswell :)
Thankyou for this I have hemo and have been wondering why my hair brakes at the roots I also stoped using hair oils because of my dreads so thanks again I'll go back to what works for my hair type not what your serpost to do with dreads aka wax and leave it
Yeah it’s all about trial and error and seeing what works for you. I recently stopped using hair oil and I’ve seen an improvement in my scalp health. Still waiting to see if that helps with the breakage but it’s helped with itching so far!
Can your locs become thin by wearing a scarf too often ? I wear my scarf probably more than I have it out , mind you I’m on year 4 of my journey , I eat well and have been retwisting every other month , but my focal points and are becoming thinner than usual
Have you ever used flaxseed gel to hydrate your locs? I am at the starter braidlocs stage and am extremely concerned about dryness. I am 4c and my hair grows outside my braids. If my fuzz gets dry as a loose natural it breaks quick. How do you deal with fuzzy locs & dryness (not only at the roots)?
Hey hun, so my locs are the same where they grow outside of the locs. What helps me with dryness and breakage is washing regularly and avoiding build up because if you are low porosity it’s already hard for your strands to absorb moisture so you need to keep the hair as clean as possible so you can absorb enough moisture. I use a water spritz with a tiny amount of leave in conditioner and it keeps me moisturised. If you’re hair can handle it, maybe add a tiny amount of castor oil to the hair strands after you have spritzed it to seal in moisture but make sure to wash regularly to avoid build up
Hey i actually have been dealing with breakage off and on for years as well. I will be going to get blood work because i came across another video where a woman was dealing with and it was due to low iron! I was wondering if the breakage is still something you deal with or has it gone away since the iron and vitamin d pills ? Thank you for your insight
Yes mine was due to low iron and I was diagnosed as anaemic. Since I’ve been taking the iron supplements I haven’t had any breakage yet! Usually winter time is when I experience it due to lack of sun I think so I’m going to be mindful to start taking my vitamin d again (as I stop in the summer due to excessive sunlight) and then I’ll have a better indication. But for right now my roots are full and flourishing. No breakage or thinning which is wonderful!
I need led to hear this lol I was a loose natural for eight years so when I started my journey I didnt think I had to do anything but sleep with a satin scarf and pillow. 😅 moisturize🫶🏾 got it

@Vons Vision My hair fully grew back in a month to a month and a half. Now 9 months strong into my journey
I’m having this problem right now. I think i scratch in the same spot too often.
SAME- I scratch too much in the same spot, and NEEEEED to stop!
Yes the scratching was bad for me too. I was oiling my scalp way too much and it was getting irritated and causing breakage

Have u tried aloe Vera instead of conditioner? I think there's nothing better than Aloe.
I have and I found it to be quite drying sadly
I was retesting every month for seven months this why mines thining

Yes don’t keep wearing it!! Let ur hair be free. U wouldn’t wrap up a plant would u?
I wear scarves (wraps) a lot too. Head does need sun (Vitamin D). I’m deficient 😅 i think bc of the scarves and my job.
Yeah, you need to allow room for the hair to expand and not keep it compressed. It’s also not great for your edges either
Vitamin D

We have the same type of hair! 😩 I’m going through this right now 😭
Washing regularly and ACV rinses helped me a lot! I’m going to do another video about the things that have helped me keep the breakage away
Im going through this now
People don’t know hair nails eyes will let us know if we are missing something
I really appreciate this.
My pleasure :)
I was using clarifying shampoo and it was bad
Yeah, that can be super harsh on textured hair. I use a moisturising shampoo and then ACV rinse after
Same! I noticed my hair breaking off after using clarifying shampoo!
thank you
Wonderful Video ❣️🙏🏿
Thank you!
I love you and your video 📹 okk
Tell the truth.shame the naysayers🎉🎉
I need led to hear this lol I was a loose natural for eight years so when I started my journey I didnt think I had to do anything but sleep with a satin scarf and pillow. 😅 moisturize🫶🏾 got it
Haha yeah I thought the same but the locs need love too ☺️
