    The youngins down in the comment section who swear that it's always done from pulling and tugging...live a little longer! Sometimes its illness, genetics and or a combination of things! Please chill you dont know how this condition developed! Men experience male baldness having never wore a weave or pulling or tugging; I would like one of you to castor oil my mans hair back!

      @@lettiegrant9447 That's a major factor with tension alopecia, but there are different types (and causes) of alopecia. For example, hair loss, thinning, and alopecia are symptoms of conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism (just to name a few), and they are also side effects of medications to treat those conditions. Hair loss is even a side effect of high blood pressure and cholesterol medications (again, just to name a few). So women with those conditions are more susceptible to hair loss, and yes, anything that adds additional stress to the hair follicles will exacerbate that susceptibility (increasing the likelihood of hair loss, as well as contributing to an acceleration in that process).

    This was pretty amazing. Unfortunately, some have included discouraging comments. I'm certain that those of us suffering with alopecia are aware that we lose hair from wearing it pulled too tightly. I suffer with alopecia that also causes painful scalp, so this wouldn't work for me. But, I would be elated to do this very occasionally if I did not. Thank you for providing this knowledge to others in order to feel good. You may have given someone a hairstyle that they may have not thought possible for a job interview, graduation or even their wedding day😊

    • @LivingIrving

      I know it’s all fashion but instead of the edge control you can try Nu Nile. Put your hair all the way up in to the ponytail, using the Nu Nile then go back in with the black stick. and then we’ll go over that with a little bit more Nu Nile. It comes out amazing there is no bleeding or running it looks really good. Until you go to sleep LOL it’ll be everywhere so make sure you tie a nice thick black scarf around it to keep it from transferring onto your pillowcase. I thought it was the only one who use a black stick LOL I love edge control but I don’t really using except on baby hair. With the Nu Nile and the blackstick you can even go in the pool there will be no running or transferring it’ll look amazing I wish I had the courage to do a tutorial. I’m so proud of you that you’re so brave you go girl.

      EDGE TIPS I do: 1) Jamaican Castor Oil 2) Coddle, nurture, sooth, massage those edges AT ALL COSTS, ALL THE TIME, no harsh tension styles 3) only use SATIN scarfs or pillow cases 4) ease any life stress, with UNAPOLOGETIC 'you time' & 5) healthy diet and H20... also (6 optional: Biotin, was too strong 4 me and it did the opposite, but people like it)!! I am typically a 'lion mane' hair person, but my Loctician said, "your edges are looking a little thinner..." 👀 who me, I NEVER had edge problems in my life... I applied all the above & they are back healthy & stronger!!💜

    This was recommended 2 me❤ you are a beautiful lady; i love your make up. 🥰With my hair beening so soft over the years I learned; that pulling it up in ponytail, braids, sew-ins is not for ppl with soft hair or hormones changing. Over a period of time it will mess it up. I don't suffer from alopecia; however, you did a fantastic job.🙌👏

    This is a great video. You're just a regular person and watching you transform your hair was like sitting with one of my girlfriends. I'm going through menopause and my hair is thinning, especially at the crown of my head. I've always had thick hair and now I'm becoming self-conscious. Your video inspired me to try something different with my hair. Thank you!

    Good job. The edges looked nature, instead of painted on. I am consistently impresses by the innovated and inexpensive method us ladies employ to hide these painful imperfections. I remember back in the day we use to brush in the black mascara to thicken the edges. Same approach, different products....nice job

    I luv us coming together sharing and showing our stories as black women we have suffered with our hair for years. Product after product remember all those perms, dripping curls, tight braids. We pulled and pulled on our hair not knowing that one day we would be looking for hair remedys to assist us. All the medications, can't eat certain foods, can't find the right shampoos & conditioners. Thank God for UTUBE a plat form for us to share all about our hair. Some things will work and some will not so I salute the sisters brave enough to share and help us all on this hair journey every one can use everyone's comments there for someone...thx to you with your wonderful hairdo.

  • @yeahaboutthatthough3656

    Hairloss resulting from tugging and pulling hairstyles is referred to as "Tension alopecia." Its usually temporary, but the longer you wear a style that tugs and pulls, the more difficult it is for that hair to grow back. It can be done, but it takes time. Switching up the hairstyle for a bit helps a lot.

    • @LivingIrving
      @LivingIrving  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes I realized I made a verbal mistake. Mine isn’t temporary my follicles are dead. There is nothing but surgery to help me that I was told by a dermatologist years ago. I just learned to live with it.

    • @jillstone7764
      @jillstone7764 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You should go to another dermatologist preferably a black one my hair follicles was dying but I got steroid injections as well as ointment with proper hair care my black Dr. Grew all my bald and thinning hair back. She's even training white Dr. On our hair loss issues. Your natural hair is beautiful keep looking for a Dr that care enough to treat you properly not take away all hope. Good luck beautiful there's hope for some of us I was smooth bald and got All my hair follicles and hair back ❤
