Yes, I was pleased to see that too..they can very easily speak from experience and understanding the black hair culture - the braids and all. Nice video 👌💕

@@niceidea7454 Hmmm...that is actually the incorrect view.

Talking about this normalization of pain I once relaxed a lady's hair and she said I wasn't doing it right because she didn't feel anything. So she didn't trust that I was doing it right, although the hair came out relaxed at the end. I treat my clients' hair the way I treat mine, I treat it with care. Everyone needs to know that it isn't everytime that pain births beauty. We really need to go easy on our hair for real.
In the previous year, I tested three various popular hair growth serums. The one that worked the most effectively for me and gave me actual results is littlleexttrra reactivate hair growth serum. In just 4 months, it made a significant difference. I began noticing baby hairs after 12 weeks, and by the 16th week, they were clearly visible and started to cover the empty area on my scalp.
Several friends of mine are applying reactivate hair serum these days, and most of them have said that it is benefiting them in stimulating hair growth and reducing hair fall.
i always use a wide tooth neem comb from littlelextra to detangle my hair when it’s wet. i also apply their coconnion oil and reactivatee serum daily. this combination has really increased new hair growth for me. i have used 4 bottles so far.
This was the first time in my life hearing someone address the issue of hair pain in the black community. It is common to be hit or told to shut up if you object to any pain suffered by a hairstyle or creation of such as a young child. It was COMPLETELY normalized and I wonder if that dismissal of pain subconsciously taught us as adults to ignore our pain receptors and bodies when it came to our cute but super tight styles!? I thank you for this video! My mind is blown open and I cannot wait to look up a good dermatologist in my area to help with my traction alopecia struggle. THANK YOU!
SO important that they addressed the traumatic childhood hair and scalp stress we were subjected to. Whenever I complained, I was called “tender-headed”, which I learned in adulthood was completely false. My scalp is only tender if I have SCM flareups/issues. I am *so relieved and pleased* for our youth who get to flourish in this era of healthy “Black” hair care, nourishment and attention. GOD Bless all three of you women.🙏🏽💚💎
This video is extremely helpful. Its so great to hear professionals opinions. Whoever’s reading this God loves you and desires you to draw closer to him. There’s a blessing in store for you. Blessings to all of you!!
I’m Hispanic with thick curly hair and have noticed my hairline receding and looking overall uneven. This has really helped me understand what I can do to restore it! Thank you so much
Omg!!!! Dr Heath is my dermatologist. She brought my skin back to life. I love her!!!! She is truly the sweetest most competent Dermatalogist I have ever met.
From a registered nurse's point of view, I felt this was extremely well done. Not trying to force certain products on people, extremely transparent, and in layman's terms. Explained so many perspectives of treatment. Now I'm wanting one of those magnificent women as my dermatologist! Thank you for creating this video. Much needed! Clear, concise and organized.
From a registered nurse’s point of view 😅😅😅. You’re not qualified to validate or refute their recommendations so what does that even mean? A nursing degree is not a medical degree.
I learned most of this working in a derm office as a MA. I’ve seen how kenalog injections help a lot and they don’t cost much as long as you have insurance. If you’re dermatologist thinks your hair loss can be internal they tend to check your iron levels, TSH and/ or testosterone levels. I tend to get traction alopecia after having a protective that’s not tight but the hair is long. Sometimes traction alopecia can happen when your hairstyle is heavy and basically pulling your hair slowly ie locs, twists or braids. I saw my mother lose her edges due to having locs for 10 years and same happened to her brother. Her decision was to cut them off and start over. Now her edges are thick and healthy.
This was fascinating. The science doesnt rule out natural treatments but supported it with medical advise and proper treatments. Absolutely loved this interview.
I am truly thankful to all of you ladies. I just went to my dermatologist and was not hopeful. I am her only patient of color and she has already struggled helping me with acne and now I brought her hair loss on my edges and it was just over her head. I took a bunch of notes from this video including the website to find a different dermatologist. I will be implementing what I have learned here as soon as possible. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I truly needed this.
@@Ziony23 My face is looking like a BOSS😆. Now just working on the edges. Made it my goal to stop pulling up my hair and just allowing it to be in it’s beautiful natural state. Also, bought a mixer of oil from a black owned company off Etsy, that has been helping stimulate my hair follicles.
@@Ziony23 For washing my face I use PanOxyl 10% for morning and night. My dermatologist has me using Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Perox gel for mornings and then a scar care acne gel-silicone at night. Also I take my vitamins: turmeric, vitamin D three, a probiotic, and a vitamin C pill. Followed by a WHOLE LOT of water😫but it’s worth it
Yes! Say it louder for those in the back. I was born with thin edges and the rest is midback. For many this is normal has nothing to do with failed styles.
Not everyone likes thin edges so why normalize something that can be fixed for some... this video is for people who would normally have full edges but are damaging their hairline or have unaddressed medical issues...if you can reverse thin edges by all means I would do so...genetics is a different story
Hi all! Try organic sage oil as well as the Rosemary oil the ladies suggested, keep at it over a period of multiple months though and take before and after pics to track progress but DON'T scrutinise your hairline everyday, it will just bring your mood down and stress levels up! Good luck!
Love this video! Jamaican black castor oil is another oil that is really good for edges. You have to apply it twice a day and massage. Increases blood flow and hair thickness.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been ignoring my alopecia for years and slapping wigs and sew ins on my head. I've been avoiding seeing a dermatologist and even more afraid of steroid shots. I'm so used to watching videos and spending so much money on "miracle" products hoping for new hair growth. This information was so helpful and I'm going to see a dermatologist to discuss a treatment plan. Also, thank you so much Dr. Heath and Dr. Mitchell for explaining the different options for treatment.
I was just like you. I avoided and just thought it was my life. I finally went to a dermatologist and it's working. I'm walking around looking like Omarion cause my hair long and my edges short but my edges growing in so I just have to Oooh touch til I get to the promise land.
We’ve been taught to normalize pain in black people period. People are taught that black people can take more pain so our pain isnt taken seriously..across the board.
No cap I never thought about going to go to the dermatologist for hair loss. This was definitely the most helpful video I have seen for hair loss. Thank you!
I have not braided my hair with extension in 5 months and I was so surprised how my edges grew soooooo fast. I just twisted my natural hair and left it like that. Not only did the edges grow, the hair itself grew so much. I think twist helps in growing hair.
Twists are a great protective style for hair growth. They work. Yaaay for your growth. I braid down my hair (I do it myself so it's never tight) but I leave my edges and I take care of my scalp regularly. I'm too active. But twists are the JAM!! they were my choice of style during quarantine and they do everything you say. ❤️
Yes, I agree. I stopped getting box braids for a year now, itching stopped headaches are gone and edges came back. I have been doing twist with or without extensions
Look into Dr. Diep based in Los Galos California if you have to get a hair transplant. He specializes in Black hair and has specific tools based on our curl patterns. He is amazing!!
Perms got me. Revelon super perm on my fine hair created bald spots. I'm 67 and tracks in n the front screwed me up. I'm 67 and I'm working on my hair ..going natural. Your words were helpful.
Everyone is different but I can personally testify to the use of biotin. I get quick results from it. Less shedding, even facial hair growth is increased which puts me off slightly
Excellent video. I do not normalise pain, I hated it as a child so I make sure my daughter doesn't experience the same. I always ensure the hairdressers are very gentle with her hair, especially the hairline. With that said, I have had countless issues with my hairline due to the constant wearing of the wig caps until an African hairdresser told me about the raw Shea butter...it has been a miracle. I use it twice per day on the affected area and my hair is finally growing back and the good thing is you see results with 3 to 4 weeks.
Dear Seun, I am a black woman with all the usual hairline issues mentioned. This is one of the best informative and educative black hair videos online. It is well thought off, and kudos to you for bringing on board the two black trichologists to tell us more. 😊👏🏽👏🏽.
I am not black but also have similar issues and enjoyed listening to the professionals. I also love to see black women embracing their natural hair. It looks beutiful.
Great panel🙌🏾! When I first developed eczema I visited two different dermatologist and they did not identify it. It took finding a Black dermatologist 👩🏾⚕️ for me to finally get the diagnoses and proper treatment. I thank God I found her🙏🏾. The same condition may look completely different on White people, versus how it looks on Black people.
As a master cosmetologist this is so true in order for a style or a person to be beautiful with a style the hair does not have to be tight you can use things such as edge control to make it appear smooth and mold it neatly to make it appear very neatly a lot of stylist and we don't even call them stylists we call them kitchens because they professional will never ever compromise a person's hair follicles of them losing them they have failed the communities because of high tight styles I'm not one and I'm proud of
This was so generous and kind of those two doctors. Brilliant 👏👏👏 I am actually touched. Black people struggle SOOOO much with hair overall. It affects your self esteem and outlook on life. I even remember seeing one of my cousins sometimes cry when we were kids because of these struggles with hair. I think treatment actually starts from the point your doctor acknowledges and truly understand your struggles. That makes a difference because the patient will be more receptive and trusting of your choices. The psychological factor is relevant Thank you for this episode. Well done! God Bless those two ladies and their practices.
Hearing this information from dermatologists is so reassuring. I'm a cosmetologist, and a lot of these remedies I share w/ my clients. Thank you for sharing this info! 😊
LETS STOP THE NORMALIZATION OF PAIN IN THE BLACK HAIR COMMUNITY GURRLLLLLL if this is not the Truth! Hell, this ain't even just about hair! Lol ! Stop the normalization of pain PERIOD lol
I found Kreyol Essence Rosemary Peppermint Black Castor Oil worked for bringing back my edges. I have to add that I also massage my whole scalp every other day.
Thank you for this video. After years of trying almost every regime to fix my hairline. The rosemary oil has done wonders for my hairline💃🏾. I look at my hair everyday with disbelief…Appreciation to the Doctors all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦👏🏾. Tips ladies- moisture with water first,then apply a drop or two of Rosemary oil on affected areas while massaging for a few minutes once or twice a day(consistency is KEY). The green phamarcy has a good organic Rosemary oil for less than R100.
I had a terrible breakout and I noticed that certain brands in rice and flour in general caused inflammation. I need to go back to my low carb healthy vegan lifestyle to get back my edges, because so far that is the only things that I saw helped.
Look at Seun coming forth with the professional receipts. Yes sis. ❤️❤️ I found out personally that inflammation played a big role in my healthy hair journey. I went on a lifestyle to get rid of inflammatory foods and my hair growth and hair health really improved.
I’m glad they said that transplant is the end of the road option. I have some hair loss on my edges and really thought that I should just jump into the transplant as a resolve.
Thank you for bringing this to the masses!! I’ve seen a white dermatologist and I will definitely use the directory for a black dermatologist. Thanks again💕
When I was growing up, we would braid each other's hair before hair extensions became a thing, and not once was it so tight that we could not blink. lol, I don't know when we started hating our own hair and length no matter how short it was. We've gone so far from "natural" that the journey back is the result we are seeing today. We were not meant to have straight hair, blonde hair, or whatever else we are doing to our hair while damaging our scalp. Now that we've done all the damage we can do, we want someone to fix it. The best way to stop the damage is to not start in the first place. The hope is that we allow our little girls to just wear their hair naturally WITHOUT relaxing or putting weaves and hair extensions or braiding hair into their hair. We are a beautiful people and our hair is part of that beauty. We are not caucasian.
I agree to ALL, except...there are indeed black people with naturally blonde hair. Natives to Australia. We also have red heads with freckles. Versatile, fruitful, and various we ARE. Some of us have green Grey and blue eyes without Caucasian parents. Google it. There is a Cyndee Black on TH-cam that women have been commenting bitterly & jealously to who has naturally blue eyes. Her black mom has one blue eye and one brown. So it does happen.
I have lost my edges dramatically by not protecting them as I should have wearing different hairstyle s that pulled my hair. Thank you for this wealth of information
I am sure a lot of people were scoffing at the potential costs of going to a dermatologist but will spend more to cover up and even worsen their problem. Get real ladies
$300 just for a lacefront. Not including installation....doing further damage and not treating the cause of hair loss. But some people would rather cover up their hair rather than actually get treatment to permanently stop hair loss
This was sooooo helpful THANK YOU!!!!! I suffer from chronic inflammation and had no clue that’s why my edges were coming out. I truly appreciate this.
I’ve had thin edges since I was a child and I’ve not seen many thin edges represented on TH-cam and I’ve decided to dedicate my channel to represent women with hair like mine instead of hair we wish we had...thanks for this video it was very informative
I don't normally add comments to any channel. But, I MUST say thank you! I watched this video several times with note-taking. Because of the information presented in this video, I was able to go to the AA Dermatologist website and locate several in my area. I chose one and visited her. I am grateful. She has been a blessing. Her care for me, my hair and my scalp was very touching to me and refreshing. There was a thorough hair and scalp evaluation and consultation. She created a treatment plan and we tried it for three months (in conjunction with my hair stylist). My treatment plan created slow but steady results. I'm now in my second three-month session. Again, THANK YOU!
Diagnosed with RA at 33. Didn’t want to take medicine because it could cause hair loss, blindness, cancer and some really horrific side effects. After 2 years, my symptoms got significantly worse and body arrested. I had no choice but to take medicine after not being able to turn a doorknob and taking 2 hour showers or using two hands to change gears in my car. Now, 5 months after taking and stopping prednisone, my hair is falling out. I started Rinvoq and it’s not supposed to make your hair fall out but it just won’t stop. I hope this helps. I feel depleted and defeated. I’ve always had thick long hair but had to cut it into a bob because I couldn’t even reach the back of it to do due to arm contractions and flare ups.
I’m going to be documenting my hair growth journey in this comment and updating every week. sorry i forgot all about thisss week 1: my hair looks longer i used this indian hemp cream on it and my hair really liked it im going to measure next week
Thanks so much for this video. It’s so refreshing to see a TH-camr who brings on actual black experts to discuss a particular topic. I am watching from London, UK so I wish you could do a video with black dermatologists in the U.K. that way I could then contact them for a consultation. Thanks again for all your good work. Xx
Well done Seun, Thank you! I'm loving this😍. Be careful with saw palmetto. It interacts with hormones and can have damaging side effects. Always make sure to consult and follow up with your doctor.
Very helpful. Thank you ladies for doing this and sharing this knowledge. My beautician and I are both to blame for my hair loss in the front of my head from overprocessing coloring. What I learned is that my hair will not show that it is taking to the lighting process. I was doing red highlights and my hair is dark brown. So she left it on longer than usual and I failed to tell her that it was burning more than I could stand. I still have hair, but what was already thin in the front is gone. So my hairline is way back toward the crown with some "bald" patches. I am heartbroken. It has been six months and the growth is slow in the front, but the rest of my hair is growing. We opted for a partial shave with short layers in the back and the front had the highlights and it was layered to cover my eyes. Megan Good wore this short bob-like style. Y'all pray for me.
I have a tail bone length hair and its in great shape , the thing that is really bothering me is my edge now....it makes every thing worse (straighting , brading and even leaving it out ) ...I wish I can regrow it back thicker 😔😭
Im not sure if I’ll help, but the thing that helped my edges the most was leaving them alone and being patient. I did styles that didn’t involve styling my edges, so clippings for examples. I’ve also ensured I don’t have any deficiencies, such as vit d and low iron
At this point I literally accept that mine ain’t growing back 😔😔. As long as I live I’m gonna be insecure about it. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s informative ❤️❤️
Extra virgin olive oil helped my edges to grow back. I’ve used it consistently every week as a Pete-poo/ conditioner on wash day. Before I shampoo and (regular) condition.
@@espanolhablante2752 I’ve tried different oils. I’m back to Jamaican black castor oil and glueless wigs. I found out it’s postpartum shedding. So trying to avoid stressing it for now.
I had fractional laser from my dermatologist to help regrow. You have about 3 sessions one month apart and then just get it once or twice a year to maintain. Works a treat but costs about $300 (Australian dollars) per session.
I loved this thank you so much I just started about 7 months or so ago well during this pandemic to leave my hair alone I never knew it could grow. I am 67 years young. But I've worn wigs and weaves since I was 13. Thank you for this video and information.....
I am Mexican and have beautiful long hair, BUT I wore the exact tight pulled back hairstyle for 20-21 years and my crown is thinning and my part is widening because of it. My best advise is to stop all tight and pulled back hairstyles immediately and learn to love your natural hair. I tried the men’s minoxidil for 20 days and had to stop because it was too strong and I had a migraine each day for those 20 days because it brings your blood to the top it made me nauseous and the migraines were BAD! Had to give up.
My hairdresser is not a fan of manipulating edges so I have never had that issue. I however went to an African stylist in NY and oh my goodness my edges my center, everywhere was stressed.
@@ForbsieLaLa African braiders are beasts, they don't give a shit about hair care....it's all about the numbers, getting people in and out, they also use inferior quality products!
@@avonnehuggins2122 So true....I want to do protective styling every so often, but every time, every new salon I try, they will pull my hair like they are getting paid to do so. I wish I knew how to protective style my own hair, but unfortunately, I don't
This was sooo helpful. I am relaxed, and stopped braiding my hair 3 years ago because it would cause my hair to break off badly! Thank God I listened to my hair. I will NEVER braid my hair again.
Yes ma’am I would go to African Braid shops they braided my hair sooo tight that my nose would 🩸 bleed. I have thick and robust hair one day my braids from the start falling out with my hair. I was shocked
I haven't had edges since I was child but it gets better sometimes especially when I don't plait it. At my age I have just accepted that they will always be thin but I hope my other hair grows back to be able to cover it. I talked about this in my last video :)
Grace, I have been committed to taking Hairfinity for the past 4 months. Now into month 5. Am seeing my edges become revived. Not as thick as I want yet. Right side is ahead of left side. Am keeping the faith. Plus, will be protective styling 4 weeks at a time. I have naturally fine hair and I can say my hair feels thicker. Additionally, I exercise 6 X per week. With improved eating habits.
Please dont accept this. If you can get a complete diagnostic blood test , you maybe low in vitamin D or some essential vitamin or mineral or possibly an underlying autoimmune disease that is causing the hair loss. My hairline is back after years of patiently caring for them. Cover my hair at night, I use diluted rosemary with a carrier oil and vitamin E. I also believed that my bald patches would grow. Reduced my stress and you would never know I had suffered from thinning hair. Blessings Queen❣
@@nnedwards3260 thank you. I have been taking hair finite too for 2 months now. I have noticed an improvement. I used it last year and in 2019 too. I notice that my hair thins out when I stop using it. its expensive so I didn't want to keep buying it but I guess I will use it till my hair grows to an acceptable length. Yes I need to exercise a bit more. Thanks for the tips and I am glad you hair has improved:)
I've looked at some of my grandmother's pictures and I noticed her edges were patchy on both sides in the same spots. I actually inherited that so the preventative aspect certainly gives me insight on how to cultivate those areas on my own head. THANK YOU
Kudos to you young lady as well as Drs. Heath & Mitchell!! That virtual form was very informative and necessary for black women. Every black woman needs to see this! Taking care of your skin and scalp is foremost important before any hairstyles. Thanks for sharing!❤
I know that when consistently using biotin my hair grew and was shiny. I was doing the LOC method and taking biotin consistently and my hair was so beautiful. I stop taking biotin but continued the LOC method and the shine and health went away.
Thank you so much for making this video. This is exactly the type of information that black women who are suffering from hair loss need to see and be educated on along with it being informed by black professional women who understand the challenges we face and that there are preventative ways that can help. Keep up the great work. Extremely helpful🙏🏽💕
I had a tight and high ponytail everyday until I was 18 and I haven’t noticed the signs of Traction Alopecia (even if it was pretty obvious, my scalp was hurting while wearing the ponytail). I think what made it worse was that my hair is really heavy (thick Asian hair). I just paid attention to it after a relative told me that tight hairstyles can lead to hair loss and since then I would just wear my hair in loose ponytails. But even now 3 years later my scalp (the section above the forehead) is hurting everyday and I noticed that my hair is really thin there and my hairline went back 😭 I’m afraid that my hair follicles are already permanently scarred. I will nevertheless try out the rosemary oil and see if I have some results. Here in Germany the health insurance won’t cover bills for 'aesthetic reasons', so I’m still unsure about visiting a dermatologist.
Wow thank you so much for that expert input! I’ve learnt so much back here in Tanzania. Will definitely apply the learning to regrow my scarred edges!! Be Blessed!
Mam I’m South African, in my opinion, West African women have some of the BEST natural remedies for hair growth and problems associated with it...perhaps give them a watch here on TH-cam. Mind you, I am by no means shooting down on this lady(Seun and her guests),they are all doing a great job in their respective professions and I admire their willingness to help my sistaz out there. ✌🏿🇿🇦
Seun, you just stepped to a whole other level for me for bringing out this video!!! Ive recently gotten into microneedling (I use a 1mm needle with a dermapen and needle my own edges once every couple of months due to having a very sensitive scalp) and have noticed my edges growing back little by little, even my baby hairs look longer then usual

Talking about this normalization of pain
I once relaxed a lady's hair and she said I wasn't doing it right because she didn't feel anything. So she didn't trust that I was doing it right, although the hair came out relaxed at the end.
I treat my clients' hair the way I treat mine, I treat it with care. Everyone needs to know that it isn't everytime that pain births beauty. We really need to go easy on our hair for real.

In just 4 months, it made a significant difference. I began noticing baby hairs after 12 weeks, and by the 16th week, they were clearly visible and started to cover the empty area on my scalp.
Several friends of mine are applying reactivate hair serum these days, and most of them have said that it is benefiting them in stimulating hair growth and reducing hair fall.
This is a bot, stay safe my friends🙌

From a registered nurse's point of view, I felt this was extremely well done. Not trying to force certain products on people, extremely transparent, and in layman's terms. Explained so many perspectives of treatment. Now I'm wanting one of those magnificent women as my dermatologist! Thank you for creating this video. Much needed! Clear, concise and organized.

😮me too😔
I learned most of this working in a derm office as a MA. I’ve seen how kenalog injections help a lot and they don’t cost much as long as you have insurance. If you’re dermatologist thinks your hair loss can be internal they tend to check your iron levels, TSH and/ or testosterone levels. I tend to get traction alopecia after having a protective that’s not tight but the hair is long. Sometimes traction alopecia can happen when your hairstyle is heavy and basically pulling your hair slowly ie locs, twists or braids. I saw my mother lose her edges due to having locs for 10 years and same happened to her brother. Her decision was to cut them off and start over. Now her edges are thick and healthy.
I think I have traction alopecia.
This was fascinating. The science doesnt rule out natural treatments but supported it with medical advise and proper treatments. Absolutely loved this interview.
Yes, I found it so so fascinating as well!!
As a young black woman it’s the best to see other black women showing off their intelligence and making videos like this.❤️
I am truly thankful to all of you ladies. I just went to my dermatologist and was not hopeful. I am her only patient of color and she has already struggled helping me with acne and now I brought her hair loss on my edges and it was just over her head. I took a bunch of notes from this video including the website to find a different dermatologist. I will be implementing what I have learned here as soon as possible. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I truly needed this.
Your acne got cured?
@@Ziony23 My face is looking like a BOSS😆. Now just working on the edges. Made it my goal to stop pulling up my hair and just allowing it to be in it’s beautiful natural state. Also, bought a mixer of oil from a black owned company off Etsy, that has been helping stimulate my hair follicles.
I'm happy to hear that.. I'm suffering from dark spots n ance what helped you to get rid off that and look like a beautiful BOSS 🤗?
@@Ziony23 For washing my face I use PanOxyl 10% for morning and night. My dermatologist has me using Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Perox gel for mornings and then a scar care acne gel-silicone at night. Also I take my vitamins: turmeric, vitamin D three, a probiotic, and a vitamin C pill. Followed by a WHOLE LOT of water😫but it’s worth it
@@pcpayne2369 thank you thank you, how long it took to clear up?
My son sees Dr. Mitchell and she is amazing! She got his skin cleared up immediately! This video was awesome to watch and very helpful!
Would you mind sharing what she recommended? My son's teenage acne is not controlled well.
Glad she was good for your son. She was a witch to me!

Let’s also NORMALIZE THIN EDGES! Sometimes it’s just natural to have thin edges. Even when you try to thicken them just wanted to add. 4:30
This is true!
Thank you...it’s male pattern baldness, a trait that women get from their fathers
Yes! Say it louder for those in the back. I was born with thin edges and the rest is midback. For many this is normal has nothing to do with failed styles.
My hairline is shape really weird so I always look like my edges are suffering but they just be like that
Not everyone likes thin edges so why normalize something that can be fixed for some... this video is for people who would normally have full edges but are damaging their hairline or have unaddressed medical issues...if you can reverse thin edges by all means I would do so...genetics is a different story
Please do this more often I would love to see black derms link with hair stylists
This is the best most informative video I’ve seen about edges.
So glad!
Hi all! Try organic sage oil as well as the Rosemary oil the ladies suggested, keep at it over a period of multiple months though and take before and after pics to track progress but DON'T scrutinise your hairline everyday, it will just bring your mood down and stress levels up! Good luck!
Hi have you tried sage oil and did it work well for you?
Am trying the castor oil, it really does work
Khululiwe Khuzwayo how do you use it?
@@brandiwatson9860 yes, massaging it in for 10 minutes daily, it really helps
You are going to smell like thanksgiving turkey.🤭
Love this video! Jamaican black castor oil is another oil that is really good for edges. You have to apply it twice a day and massage. Increases blood flow and hair thickness.
Any flavor? Which do you recommend
@@joyjones7942 I like to use the rosemary one. You should give it a try 😉
Thank you so much for this video! I've been ignoring my alopecia for years and slapping wigs and sew ins on my head. I've been avoiding seeing a dermatologist and even more afraid of steroid shots. I'm so used to watching videos and spending so much money on "miracle" products hoping for new hair growth. This information was so helpful and I'm going to see a dermatologist to discuss a treatment plan. Also, thank you so much Dr. Heath and Dr. Mitchell for explaining the different options for treatment.
Those steroid shots are hell. Gave me migraines I never experienced before. No thank you
I was just like you. I avoided and just thought it was my life. I finally went to a dermatologist and it's working. I'm walking around looking like Omarion cause my hair long and my edges short but my edges growing in so I just have to Oooh touch til I get to the promise land.
Hey... Did you manage to grow your hair?
Same here
Have you seen a dermatologist yet
These are all straight facts!! We've normalised pain as part of our hair and beauty practices, and this whole idea of neat edges is not good for us!
Had no idea you existed, just subbed!😆
@@irresponsibleparent3 Awww... thank you 😊
Btw "Nunya" is my middle name 🤣
Yeah saying things like "pretty hurts". Lol pretty doesn't have to hurt. I totally agree with you.
We’ve been taught to normalize pain in black people period. People are taught that black people can take more pain so our pain isnt taken seriously..across the board.
No cap I never thought about going to go to the dermatologist for hair loss. This was definitely the most helpful video I have seen for hair loss. Thank you!
So glad to see black professional women speaking on our hair. Wonderful video! Thank you!
I have not braided my hair with extension in 5 months and I was so surprised how my edges grew soooooo fast. I just twisted my natural hair and left it like that. Not only did the edges grow, the hair itself grew so much. I think twist helps in growing hair.
Twists are a great protective style for hair growth. They work. Yaaay for your growth. I braid down my hair (I do it myself so it's never tight) but I leave my edges and I take care of my scalp regularly. I'm too active. But twists are the JAM!! they were my choice of style during quarantine and they do everything you say. ❤️
Yes, I agree. I stopped getting box braids for a year now, itching stopped headaches are gone and edges came back. I have been doing twist with or without extensions
that is how I am keeping my hair right now, twisted. I've started making crochet wigs instead of doing tension styles.
I love twists! Gives the hair and scalp room to breathe roo
Look into Dr. Diep based in Los Galos California if you have to get a hair transplant. He specializes in Black hair and has specific tools based on our curl patterns. He is amazing!!
Perms got me. Revelon super perm on my fine hair created bald spots. I'm 67 and tracks in n the front screwed me up. I'm 67 and I'm working on my hair ..going natural. Your words were helpful.
I liked before I watch. I really need to grow my edges.
I used biotin for 3 months str8 and it didn't help me, so what the doctor said in this video about biotin not being able to help, is so true.
It made my skin breakout, and my eyes feel as though they were constantly straining to see. It was awful.
Same with me. It gave me cystic acne
Everyone is different but I can personally testify to the use of biotin. I get quick results from it. Less shedding, even facial hair growth is increased which puts me off slightly
@Divine Connection facts! Please recommend any good natural brands of biotin if you know of any.
Biotin don't work for hair... take collagen supplements and change your diet
Excellent video. I do not normalise pain, I hated it as a child so I make sure my daughter doesn't experience the same. I always ensure the hairdressers are very gentle with her hair, especially the hairline.
With that said, I have had countless issues with my hairline due to the constant wearing of the wig caps until an African hairdresser told me about the raw Shea butter...it has been a miracle. I use it twice per day on the affected area and my hair is finally growing back and the good thing is you see results with 3 to 4 weeks.
Dear Seun, I am a black woman with all the usual hairline issues mentioned. This is one of the best informative and educative black hair videos online. It is well thought off, and kudos to you for bringing on board the two black trichologists to tell us more. 😊👏🏽👏🏽.
Please give some to local good new how.take care of losing hair God bless
I am not black but also have similar issues and enjoyed listening to the professionals. I also love to see black women embracing their natural hair. It looks beutiful.
Great panel🙌🏾! When I first developed eczema I visited two different dermatologist and they did not identify it. It took finding a Black dermatologist 👩🏾⚕️ for me to finally get the diagnoses and proper treatment. I thank God I found her🙏🏾.
The same condition may look completely different on White people, versus how it looks on Black people.
Also psoriasis. When you Google that only white people show. Psoriasis affects black people just like eczema.
@@s.c.h6512 yes that’s their eczema
What did was the diagnosis and treatment if you don’t mind. They told me my baby has atopic eczema and gave me two creams that does much of nothing
As a master cosmetologist this is so true in order for a style or a person to be beautiful with a style the hair does not have to be tight you can use things such as edge control to make it appear smooth and mold it neatly to make it appear very neatly a lot of stylist and we don't even call them stylists we call them kitchens because they professional will never ever compromise a person's hair follicles of them losing them they have failed the communities because of high tight styles I'm not one and I'm proud of
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks, Seun for setting up this informative session on our edges!!!
You just took this game to a higher level....Well done Seun....
Thank you!!!
This was so informative and helpful 💜💜💜
I'm so glad!
I Appreciate the effort you put into making your videos :)
Aw, I really try. Thank you!!
This was so generous and kind of those two doctors. Brilliant 👏👏👏
I am actually touched. Black people struggle SOOOO much with hair overall.
It affects your self esteem and outlook on life. I even remember seeing one of my cousins sometimes cry when we were kids because of these struggles with hair.
I think treatment actually starts from the point your doctor acknowledges and truly understand your struggles. That makes a difference because the patient will be more receptive and trusting of your choices. The psychological factor is relevant
Thank you for this episode. Well done!
God Bless those two ladies and their practices.
Hearing this information from dermatologists is so reassuring. I'm a cosmetologist, and a lot of these remedies I share w/ my clients. Thank you for sharing this info! 😊

I found Kreyol Essence Rosemary Peppermint Black Castor Oil worked for bringing back my edges. I have to add that I also massage my whole scalp every other day.
Did u massage your scalp with that oil
🇭🇹❤️
Thank you for this video. After years of trying almost every regime to fix my hairline. The rosemary oil has done wonders for my hairline💃🏾. I look at my hair everyday with disbelief…Appreciation to the Doctors all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦👏🏾. Tips ladies- moisture with water first,then apply a drop or two of Rosemary oil on affected areas while massaging for a few minutes once or twice a day(consistency is KEY). The green phamarcy has a good organic Rosemary oil for less than R100.
I had a terrible breakout and I noticed that certain brands in rice and flour in general caused inflammation. I need to go back to my low carb healthy vegan lifestyle to get back my edges, because so far that is the only things that I saw helped.
Look at Seun coming forth with the professional receipts. Yes sis. ❤️❤️
I found out personally that inflammation played a big role in my healthy hair journey. I went on a lifestyle to get rid of inflammatory foods and my hair growth and hair health really improved.
Thanks for your comment, how did you know that you are suffering from inflammation?. Just asking because I am suspecting that I may too.
Ikr!! Bravo!!
I’m glad they said that transplant is the end of the road option. I have some hair loss on my edges and really thought that I should just jump into the transplant as a resolve.
I know right! I used to think that was the only option too, haha
Please don't. It's such a waste of money and really dangerous for your health
@@mantuli8500 don’t trust any hair transplant no matter which doctor? What’s the side effects that they not tellin us?
I appreciate this information! I’m glad to see that someone is addressing this issue. I’ve been suffering from this for years.

You're very welcome!(:
Thank you for bringing this to the masses!! I’ve seen a white dermatologist and I will definitely use the directory for a black dermatologist. Thanks again💕
You are very very welcome!
When I was growing up, we would braid each other's hair before hair extensions became a thing, and not once was it so tight that we could not blink. lol, I don't know when we started hating our own hair and length no matter how short it was. We've gone so far from "natural" that the journey back is the result we are seeing today. We were not meant to have straight hair, blonde hair, or whatever else we are doing to our hair while damaging our scalp. Now that we've done all the damage we can do, we want someone to fix it. The best way to stop the damage is to not start in the first place. The hope is that we allow our little girls to just wear their hair naturally WITHOUT relaxing or putting weaves and hair extensions or braiding hair into their hair. We are a beautiful people and our hair is part of that beauty. We are not caucasian.
when u have to pay for the service and its expensive AF the line of thought is: "if its tight it will take longer for me to have to come back!" lol
True
I agree to ALL, except...there are indeed black people with naturally blonde hair. Natives to Australia. We also have red heads with freckles. Versatile, fruitful, and various we ARE. Some of us have green Grey and blue eyes without Caucasian parents. Google it. There is a Cyndee Black on TH-cam that women have been commenting bitterly & jealously to who has naturally blue eyes. Her black mom has one blue eye and one brown. So it does happen.
Well said 👏👏👏👏👏
That last sentence was unnecessary. Always comparing or contrasting blackness to whiteness. That’s how we got here... smh.
Great job Seun! You are doing a phenomenal job promoting and building your channel! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you so much!
This was so amazing and informative. I have spent so much money on oils until I learned about going to a dermatologist. Thank you!
So glad!
I have lost my edges dramatically by not protecting them as I should have wearing different hairstyle s that pulled my hair. Thank you for this wealth of information
I am sure a lot of people were scoffing at the potential costs of going to a dermatologist but will spend more to cover up and even worsen their problem. Get real ladies
This the one!
Good point 🤔
Facts!
$300 just for a lacefront. Not including installation....doing further damage and not treating the cause of hair loss. But some people would rather cover up their hair rather than actually get treatment to permanently stop hair loss
I absolutely agree. I was once one of those people until recently.
This was sooooo helpful THANK YOU!!!!! I suffer from chronic inflammation and had no clue that’s why my edges were coming out. I truly appreciate this.
I am Indian and almost everything the dermatologists said sounds like it would be helpful for me too!!!
Good quality medical advice is helpful for all! ❤
Hair line goals Dr Heath, goodness that's like a thick Forrest right there.
I’ve had thin edges since I was a child and I’ve not seen many thin edges represented on TH-cam and I’ve decided to dedicate my channel to represent women with hair like mine instead of hair we wish we had...thanks for this video it was very informative
My hair is thin too! I'll check out your channel
me too
I don't normally add comments to any channel. But, I MUST say thank you! I watched this video several times with note-taking. Because of the information presented in this video, I was able to go to the AA Dermatologist website and locate several in my area.
I chose one and visited her. I am grateful. She has been a blessing. Her care for me, my hair and my scalp was very touching to me and refreshing. There was a thorough hair and scalp evaluation and consultation. She created a treatment plan and we tried it for three months (in conjunction with my hair stylist). My treatment plan created slow but steady results. I'm now in my second three-month session. Again, THANK YOU!
You ladies are so well spoken and educated,I've learned so much,I wish the both of you were in my state. Keep up the good work ladies.
Crown and edges are greatest concern
This is one of the most helpful hair videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Thanks for setting up this platform.
Im so glad it was helpful!!
You provided so much info here. Thank You! 🙏🏽 this wasn’t click bait.
Really glad it was helpful to you!
Diagnosed with RA at 33. Didn’t want to take medicine because it could cause hair loss, blindness, cancer and some really horrific side effects. After 2 years, my symptoms got significantly worse and body arrested. I had no choice but to take medicine after not being able to turn a doorknob and taking 2 hour showers or using two hands to change gears in my car. Now, 5 months after taking and stopping prednisone, my hair is falling out. I started Rinvoq and it’s not supposed to make your hair fall out but it just won’t stop. I hope this helps. I feel depleted and defeated. I’ve always had thick long hair but had to cut it into a bob because I couldn’t even reach the back of it to do due to arm contractions and flare ups.
Try an elimination diet. No grains, dairy, no processed food. It will keep you moving.
I’m going to be documenting my hair growth journey in this comment and updating every week.
sorry i forgot all about thisss
week 1: my hair looks longer i used this indian hemp cream on it and my hair really liked it im going to measure next week
Any updates on your journey?
🙄 my friend we are waiting oooh
Update
Thanks so much for this video. It’s so refreshing to see a TH-camr who brings on actual black experts to discuss a particular topic. I am watching from London, UK so I wish you could do a video with black dermatologists in the U.K. that way I could then contact them for a consultation. Thanks again for all your good work. Xx
Well done Seun, Thank you! I'm loving this😍.
Be careful with saw palmetto. It interacts with hormones and can have damaging side effects. Always make sure to consult and follow up with your doctor.
i just wanted to say, I love your hair, it looks so healthy
As a licensed barber who specializes in natural hair care, this helped me a lot to develop my consultations for hair loss in women. Thanks!
THIS WAS SO GOOD. I REALLY HOPE THIS BLOWS UP HUGE BECAUSE YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW. THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
Very helpful. Thank you ladies for doing this and sharing this knowledge. My beautician and I are both to blame for my hair loss in the front of my head from overprocessing coloring. What I learned is that my hair will not show that it is taking to the lighting process. I was doing red highlights and my hair is dark brown. So she left it on longer than usual and I failed to tell her that it was burning more than I could stand. I still have hair, but what was already thin in the front is gone. So my hairline is way back toward the crown with some "bald" patches. I am heartbroken. It has been six months and the growth is slow in the front, but the rest of my hair is growing. We opted for a partial shave with short layers in the back and the front had the highlights and it was layered to cover my eyes. Megan Good wore this short bob-like style. Y'all pray for me.
Derma rolling gave me good results

How's it going now?
I have a tail bone length hair and its in great shape , the thing that is really bothering me is my edge now....it makes every thing worse (straighting , brading and even leaving it out ) ...I wish I can regrow it back thicker 😔😭
Ah, yes, I hope this video can help you!
Im not sure if I’ll help, but the thing that helped my edges the most was leaving them alone and being patient. I did styles that didn’t involve styling my edges, so clippings for examples. I’ve also ensured I don’t have any deficiencies, such as vit d and low iron
Armyyyyyy💜💜
Funny you never hear men having this issue
Deej what are clippings?
This was a great interview! You let them talk and they were informative. Awesome job much respect to you.
At this point I literally accept that mine ain’t growing back 😔😔. As long as I live I’m gonna be insecure about it. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s informative ❤️❤️
I had Dr Heath in Delaware before she went to Philadelphia , let me tell you she is the BEST ! IF you can get an appointment with her do it.
Cant wait! Stress is causing my hair to shed A LOT and I’ve lost most of my edges. Hoping for some good info.
Extra virgin olive oil helped my edges to grow back. I’ve used it consistently every week as a Pete-poo/ conditioner on wash day. Before I shampoo and (regular) condition.
“pre”
@@espanolhablante2752 I’ve tried different oils. I’m back to Jamaican black castor oil and glueless wigs. I found out it’s postpartum shedding. So trying to avoid stressing it for now.
I had fractional laser from my dermatologist to help regrow. You have about 3 sessions one month apart and then just get it once or twice a year to maintain. Works a treat but costs about $300 (Australian dollars) per session.
This is probably the most helpful hair video on TH-cam! Health first!!!!
I loved this thank you so much I just started about 7 months or so ago well during this pandemic to leave my hair alone I never knew it could grow. I am 67 years young. But I've worn wigs and weaves since I was 13. Thank you for this video and information.....
13! Wow
Seun Okimi reminds me of Gabrielle Union. One of my favorite actresses- so beautiful.
I get that a lot! Thank you!
I kept thinking the same thing anytime she spoke.
I just got a referral to the dermatologist I'm so happy
yay!!! I hope all goes well(:
I am Mexican and have beautiful long hair, BUT I wore the exact tight pulled back hairstyle for 20-21 years and my crown is thinning and my part is widening because of it. My best advise is to stop all tight and pulled back hairstyles immediately and learn to love your natural hair.
I tried the men’s minoxidil for 20 days and had to stop because it was too strong and I had a migraine each day for those 20 days because it brings your blood to the top it made me nauseous and the migraines were BAD! Had to give up.
May I ask what did you do?
Girl if I’m doing any braid in ,, I myself take out my edges before the stylist do ma braids ,, no way I’m losing my edges
Great tip!
My hairdresser is not a fan of manipulating edges so I have never had that issue. I however went to an African stylist in NY and oh my goodness my edges my center, everywhere was stressed.
I started doing that then I started losing hair BEHIND my edges .. tight is tight . Get up and walk out .
@@ForbsieLaLa African braiders are beasts, they don't give a shit about hair care....it's all about the numbers, getting people in and out, they also use inferior quality products!
@@avonnehuggins2122 So true....I want to do protective styling every so often, but every time, every new salon I try, they will pull my hair like they are getting paid to do so. I wish I knew how to protective style my own hair, but unfortunately, I don't
This was sooo helpful. I am relaxed, and stopped braiding my hair 3 years ago because it would cause my hair to break off badly! Thank God I listened to my hair. I will NEVER braid my hair again.
Do you do any protective styling? I recently relaxed my hair and I have thinned edges. I'm trying to grow my hair without braids
Thank you for your commitment to educating your community! This was fantastic!
I agree 💯
This is so useful...I wish I could find this type of help in Jamaica. I lost all my edges from front to back and sides
U can get black jamaican castor oil which s very good n improve your diet , drink lots of water n exercise 👍🏻
Yes ma’am I would go to African Braid shops they braided my hair sooo tight that my nose would 🩸 bleed. I have thick and robust hair one day my braids from the start falling out with my hair. I was shocked
Ur nose would bleed is crazy😰
I haven't had edges since I was child but it gets better sometimes especially when I don't plait it. At my age I have just accepted that they will always be thin but I hope my other hair grows back to be able to cover it. I talked about this in my last video :)
Grace, I have been committed to taking Hairfinity for the past 4 months. Now into month 5.
Am seeing my edges become revived. Not as thick as I want yet. Right side is ahead of left side.
Am keeping the faith. Plus, will be protective styling 4 weeks at a time. I have naturally fine hair and I can say my hair feels thicker.
Additionally, I exercise 6 X per week. With improved eating habits.
Please dont accept this. If you can get a complete diagnostic blood test , you maybe low in vitamin D or some essential vitamin or mineral or possibly an underlying autoimmune disease that is causing the hair loss.
My hairline is back after years of patiently caring for them. Cover my hair at night, I use diluted rosemary with a carrier oil and vitamin E. I also believed that my bald patches would grow. Reduced my stress and you would never know I had suffered from thinning hair.
Blessings Queen❣
@@nnedwards3260 thank you. I have been taking hair finite too for 2 months now. I have noticed an improvement. I used it last year and in 2019 too. I notice that my hair thins out when I stop using it. its expensive so I didn't want to keep buying it but I guess I will use it till my hair grows to an acceptable length. Yes I need to exercise a bit more. Thanks for the tips and I am glad you hair has improved:)
@@GracefulKnots ❣you're welcome Sis.
Hey what’s your email I have a solution for you
I've looked at some of my grandmother's pictures and I noticed her edges were patchy on both sides in the same spots. I actually inherited that so the preventative aspect certainly gives me insight on how to cultivate those areas on my own head. THANK YOU
Kudos to you young lady as well as Drs. Heath & Mitchell!! That virtual form was very informative and necessary for black women. Every black woman needs to see this! Taking care of your skin and scalp is foremost important before any hairstyles. Thanks for sharing!❤
I know that when consistently using biotin my hair grew and was shiny. I was doing the LOC method and taking biotin consistently and my hair was so beautiful. I stop taking biotin but continued the LOC method and the shine and health went away.

Thank you so much for making this video. This is exactly the type of information that black women who are suffering from hair loss need to see and be educated on along with it being informed by black professional women who understand the challenges we face and that there are preventative ways that can help. Keep up the great work. Extremely helpful🙏🏽💕
I second this 👌🏾
I had a tight and high ponytail everyday until I was 18 and I haven’t noticed the signs of Traction Alopecia (even if it was pretty obvious, my scalp was hurting while wearing the ponytail). I think what made it worse was that my hair is really heavy (thick Asian hair). I just paid attention to it after a relative told me that tight hairstyles can lead to hair loss and since then I would just wear my hair in loose ponytails. But even now 3 years later my scalp (the section above the forehead) is hurting everyday and I noticed that my hair is really thin there and my hairline went back 😭 I’m afraid that my hair follicles are already permanently scarred.
I will nevertheless try out the rosemary oil and see if I have some results. Here in Germany the health insurance won’t cover bills for 'aesthetic reasons', so I’m still unsure about visiting a dermatologist.
My experience is just like this. Wearing ponytails made my hairline zigzag
Have you tried rosemary oil.
Has it helped..I am using rosemary water
Hello dear :) has the rosemary oil helped?
Wow thank you so much for that expert input! I’ve learnt so much back here in Tanzania. Will definitely apply the learning to regrow my scarred edges!! Be Blessed!
Mam I’m South African, in my opinion, West African women have some of the BEST natural remedies for hair growth and problems associated with it...perhaps give them a watch here on TH-cam.
Mind you, I am by no means shooting down on this lady(Seun and her guests),they are all doing a great job in their respective professions and I admire their willingness to help my sistaz out there.
