I dont either... I've never fallen for it.. i wear my hair bee hived or out , nice and cute for work! White folks dont cornrow down, twist , braid for weeks on end etc for their hair in order for it to grow!
I used to believe that protective styles was necessary until after months my hair would be thinning, disappearing edges, receding hair line and very little retention in lenght. I learned I have very oily overactive sebum Scalp that has to be washed and exfoliated 2X a week. I learned that not washing and exfloiating my hair for over 5 days which required for protective styling cause overgrowth of FUNGI triggers my ALOPECIA. My autoimmune system goes into overdrive attacking my hair follicles. Causing my hair to fallout. Black people think Im crazy for washing my hair 2X a week to fight my very oily scalp. I have to keep oil down through washing cause the SCALP FUNGI FEEDS OFF THE OIL AND WILL OVERGROW AND TRIGGER MY ALOPECIA. A lot of women with ALPOECIA dont realise their hair falling out because of too much fungi overgrowth.
I feel you, when I washed my hair every two weeks I would be scratching flakes out my hair 🤮. Once a week helped remove like 70 percent of the dandruff, but I notice if I do it every 4/5 days I won’t give my scalp a chance to dry out.
Just stumbled across your video because I'm in a "Leave Your Hair Alone Challenge" (with my hair) and decided to watch. I do protective style my hair in low manipulative styles. My strands are fine, high porosity and medium density (Multiple curl patterns 3b-4a I think?). Anyway, your hair is so thick and healthy. Just beautiful. I'm jealous. lol
I remember I use to do those challenges. I live my hair out and never lasted😂. But more power to you sis. What styles do you wear for this challenge? and thank you for the compliment! ❤️
@@LinzeyLiNO You're welcome. I styled it in mini twists, chunky twists or plaits. lol. I'm not good in braiding my own hair due to my hands aches due to fibromyalgia. I wash my hair once a week due to psoriasis ( this includes co washing in-between wash day if needed). I don't think my hair likes wash & go styles as well as I don't leave my hair in afro often. It tends to shed and break when I do those two too often so I knew those styles weren't for me. Anyway, I had a setback due to medications along health issues 3 years ago and I had to cut my hair from bra strap because my front area of my hair was thinning and breaking. I'm back at bra strap (I think?) and my bane area has almost caught up with my back although my side front areas are awkward in length (14.5 inches at my top back, nape is 11' inches, bane is 14' inches and left side front 12' inches and right side front 13' inches) . In addition, I'm almost 6 years natural yet trying for length retention (I were using all the wrong ingredients for my strands and health wasn't the greatest). I changed my ingredients in products to fully natural (ayurvedic) and continuing styles of low manipulative styles.
