      @@priccy2823 well if you do box braids to often and don't moisten your hair properly, it could lead to breakage. I have to be very careful with braids, because my hair is soft and can break from the weight of the braids

    • @BionAvastar3000
      @BionAvastar3000 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Yep! If you have a patch where ALL the hairs are short, THEN it's breakage, otherwise, it's totally normal. We just notice it more bc our hair is curly, but it happens in ALL hair types! Partly what causes "frizz"

    • @jenaccess4luv

    Thank you for this short informative video. I’ve been natural 7 years. My hair is about 24 inches. I have a lot of strands but they’re fine. I have a lot of short hair just like yours. I’ve been contemplating shaving my hair cause I thought I have too much breakage.
    But then on the other hand, my hair is healthy and growing. But I was super concerned and convinced I need to start over.
    Thanks to your video I am now at peace and no longer stressing about short pieces.

    • @gracedwithmission8644

  • @FromAto4z
    @FromAto4z ปีที่แล้ว +30

    "Don't let them play in your face." 🤣 All joking aside, as much as I know this I always side eye those short strands. There are a lot of them, but some would HAVE to be new growth or if be bald. There was one section that was shorter but I've loved watching it grow out over the years.
    I think that influencers showing super smooth, photo ready hair without showing these real life close ups give people a false impression of how real hair (regardless of type) actually grows. Thank you for always keeping it real. 💜

    Thank you so much. I have 4c hair and just starting growing it out about a year and a half ago. I learned how to do my own twists, and because I’m a perfectionist I was really frustrated that I could never seem to prevent “flyaways” no matter how much I tried to gel and straighten out my hair before twisting. It should have been super obvious to me that this is new hair growth (especially with the shedding lol) but it just wasn’t. Thank you again!

    All the information you provided is very good. Additionally, looking at the condition and context of the short strands is also important. If the ends of the shorter pieces are split, or if the short pieces are concentrated in a specific area (like the crown, nape, etc) this is not necessarily indicative of shedding.
