Hey KINfolk, I had to get vulnerable for a sec because this is what I'm going through. Let's have an open dialog in the comment section. Everything I talked about is in the description box! Love you all KINfolk! 💕
Dermaroller your edges. mine were MIA after crazy crack epidemic lasting 16 years . l dermarolled and massaged oils into my edges for 5 minutes each DAY !! , caster, almond, Olive, OIL are all are good! Your edges will come back no problem! x
the thing about stress is that, you don't really realize how stress you've been, until your edges send the eviction notice. And, that's when the stress 2.0 really starts. UGH be still our little hairs.
Philo: “IM GOING THROUGH STRESS” Hairstylist: “alright so don’t stress out”😭😭😭😭 It’s like me Telling 911 “Help I cant breathe” and they respond with “just breathe”😭😭😭
I lost my edges some years ago and I had random amounts of breakage throughout my hair. I realized it was because I was always slicking my hair up into a tight bun and laying my edges. Once I gave up the bun hairstyle and stopped using any gel on my hairline, my edges have come back. I haven’t laid my edges in 4-5 years and I’ve seen the difference. Plus once the hair grew in there I’ve sprouted cute little curls in the area so I’m not even tempted to slick them back. I know the laid edges are a trend, but hair health is more important. Good luck sis- they’ll come back.
Why is hair health more important? Things you do do your hair usually doesn't effect anything else on your body. It's not impossible, but they're the same amount of unimportant.
Hey Philo. It is well my sista. No worries no stress. It will return more than before. Just remain consistent with the tips your hairstylist gave. Also, be sure you're making healthy food choices. I love what you said at 10:33 So very true!!! So we have to keep it hydrated and moisturized.
I live for when influencers break the fourth wall, and let people know hair is a constant process! What we must remember sis, is the body is an living breathing organism. It’s always going through things even when it’s in harmony! My suggestions are invest in a shower filter if you don’t already have one. Because of everything that’s going on, purifying and getting not only your drinking water but the water that we bathe with to alkaline levels helps majorly! Also, make sure you’re really getting all of your front and back edges under the cap when deep conditioning. I’ve definitely noticed a difference of applying and oil to my scalp when deep conditioning helps! Juicing is another way to get that zinc in as well! Lastly, hair texture changes every 7 years apparently. And I’ve noticed it goes through crazy things when it’s in the middle of the cycle, especially due to hormonal shifts and stress levels. I’ve definitely had fall out and thinning that is starting to subside! You got this sis don’t worry just be consistent and smile!!!!!!!
This seems silly to some, but I like your common sense calm support. I especially like that it is coming from a brother, men often say nothing or don't know what to say to support us ladies, thank you brother this pep talk helps.
When you cut it off, did the edges start growing or just the rest of your hair? Mines have been gone for years too. I started putting vitamin E oil and aloe vera gel on it and it started coming back. I'll be glad when it feels in completely though
@@dajzaiminion8629 Why do y'all fu** ya'll hair up, and then ALL of you come on a TH-cam video and act surprised like y'all don't see the common denominator 😂😂😂
I just noticed my hairline having a bald spot on each side of my head about 15 minutes ago.. then your video popped up.. is the universe playing a joke?
Yooo, after my wash last week, I lost a palm full of hair and my temples were bald... 😭 I was so confused as to what was going on and now I see. It ain't just me. I'm definitely stressed and depressed. Pray for me y'all, and I'll do the same.

Don’t massage it!!! My trichologist said massaging constantly causes friction!! Press into the scalp instead and use a good stimulant ie products with peppermint etc. please please at least don’t massage your edges while so fragile!!
You know what's crazy, i feel like this pandemic is stressing me out, but the time spent home is actually making my edges grow out since ive been doing little manipulation, eating better, taking my time with my hair, etc.
Damn baby! Sending you positive vibes, love 😍 Those edges will come back in no time, I give it 1 month and you won't even know they were gone, promise!
I’ve had whole ass bald spots on my edges and I couldn’t determine if it was because of stress or from manipulation from updos and slicking my edges. So I stopped manipulating my edges altogether and applying & massaging castor oil & vitamin e oil (sometimes peppermint oil. But I also started meditating. I used the insight timer app when I first began. But my edges are back full! I hope you see results soon!
i was wondering but...idk i didn't...maybe they were thinner to her or something cause seeing many other people's real bald spotted edges and then seeing her's i was like....girl you are fine. Lol
My edges have thinned out drastically in the last 4 to 5 years. But in the last few months I feel like I'm loosing alot of volume. Family say I'm overreacting, but when you're used to having a thick head of hair this is frightening. I'm 40 and a cancer survivor. Didn't do radiation or chemo, and didn't go bald over it. But it's still difficult to come to terms with because many women in my family experience partial or total hair loss. I hope things turn around for you.
My edges fell out due to taking care of my mother last summer as she died of lung cancer. My hair said "buh bye". It is sparse density and my edges are thin. She died in July of 2019. I started taking care of my hair again in February. I dab rice water on my edges and put Jamaican black castor oil mixed with peppermint, rosemary and lavender on top of them and leave them alone. My edges are finally growing back in. I have new growth all over my head now. I have also been using fenugreek oil for scalp massages. It is working. Slowly but surely it is working!
I pray and hope your hair grows back. I experienced hair loss because of stress some years ago. It’s very real. My hair will still shed more when I’m stressed although it does not “fall out” anymore. Naturall Products are a top 10 favorite, especially their shampoo and regular conditioner. Once it grows back, just try your best to take extra precautionary measures when you’re feeling stressed or feel it coming on. That is what helped me.
My edges on the right is doing the exact same thing!! I remember Tamika tallking about vitamins in your previous video so Ive been taking Zinc daily along with prenatals, spraying aloe vera juice and water as a leave in every other day, and prayer! Now I'll be adding a massage. Lol
Girl! I had the same problem in both spots. I started using raw aloe Vera gel( made it my self every week) and use it every night on my edges every night and Just like that I had full edges again. Don’t worry. Be consistent and it will come back. But out of every I’ve EVER used, aloe works for me and I still use it up to this day it’s CHEAP and works. You got this girl! I use softee grease as well(People might come for me for this one) BUTTTTT that thang worksssss girl omg. I use aloe, grease and oil mixture for my hair growth and it has been the best results ever
After Seeing that thumbnail and watching the video, it had me shocked. You have made such progress with your hair over the years. I must say that my hairline has been like yours for years. I have been struggling with it for years. Nice to see i am not alone. Thank you for your transperancy about your hair.
This happened to me before. I just kept my normal routine, and focused on oiling and massaging that area. It’ll grow back, just be patient, and follow your stylist’s instructions.
Girl don't panic! My sister's edges were bad too but we got them back! For me, don't stress also I found eco Styler does some weirdness that makes my hairline itchy! But above all JBC oil can really help along with essential oils! Check you diets and make sure everything is good internally! 🙏🏿🙏🏿 We gon get through this sis! I promiseeee!
Since quarantine my ends have been getting bad to the point where i am thinking about big chopping. I ran to the pharmacy and picking up iron and multi vitamin. I have been stressing due to grad school, kids and being a essential employee.
Kedeshia Peynado -Praying for you! I understand taking a full load in undergrad and graduate school, whilst working full-time. I couldn’t imagine doing with children. You’re a true Shero!
I had major breakage in the back of my head, and it kept getting worse. Nothing would stop the knots or the tangles, my hair was moderately healthy in every area except that one. I got fed up and shaved my head bald. Now while this might not be for everyone, I adore it. This is my first time with short/no hair and It's so fun! Every one will find a soloist that works for them. You'll find one that works for you❤ You're beautiful, keep going!
Me except the breakage was at random places so I only noticed it when I was braiding my hair myself ,it was the final straw (the split ends prior to that were giving me hell)
Noticed mine receding quite a while ago 😔 had the same reaction as you...felt like the end of the world. I started to massage Jamaican black castor oil and very careful with styles around my hairline
Tamkea is telling the truth! Love her. I called her stressed over my ends that needed a trim. She trimmed my hair last may before she gave birth. She told me just keep d/c and keep the hair in twist and braids and leave it and repeat. I am doing the belle bar organic hair challenge which helps keeping my focused and encouraged.
Hi , a few years ago I went to a braider in Colorado. When I took my braids out my two corners were smooth bald. I use castor oil on my edges first. I use fresh aloe Vera gel with oil. I also use rice water. They are filled in and improving. Massage is very Important.
Headbands without any slip (satin/silk underneath) will for sure break your hair off. I went to Hawaii and sported a headband every day, and when I got home, my hair line was back in Hawaii. Seriously!!!! Edges need moisture and no tension, and they will grow back. My edges grew back, but are only about 1/4 of the length of the hair in my front. Baby care, baby care, baby care. Keep it moisturized, eat well, drink plenty of water, and washing my hair more often did help. (co-washing)
Girl when u dropped that deep conditioner, I was like, “you betta pick that up!” 😂 I’ve been noticing some frustrating differences in my hair lately too. My hair is SO dry lately. I have Lupus so I’m hyper focused on my hair health and stress management, my rheumatologist (also natural) is actually the person who persuaded me to go natural since I’m prone to hair loss. I switched to the Lavender CurlMix line recently and it’s like it hates my hair, but I keep trying it with different amounts of product thinking I’m doing something wrong. That NaturAll Club deep conditioner made your hair look amazing before you did anything to it! You’re making me want to return that expensive CurlMix situation and try those NaturAll products. Ima call Tamika too b/c the frustration is real. 😖
Love , that stress will take it out !! lack of moisture & lack of going outside combined . I’m going through the same thing. Thank you for Tameeka I don’t feel crazy no more ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh! Washing my hair is therapeutic to me too! A lot of people dread the process and I do it multiple times a week. Lol! Hoping your edges start flourishing soon.
I’m sorry to hear about this. I know people in comments are probably giving you (some unwanted advice) but the “Hollywood Hair Bar: Regrowth Serum” and “Camille Rose: Rejuve serum”. I have used both and they have worked for me PERSONALLY, but I don’t have the coin to constantly buy them. If you do then try them if you want! Stay safe, love! ❤️
Not gonna lie, my edges were thinning and threatening to disappear because I was wearing wigs for work in a corporate environment. No mas! I have ditched the wigs, wig caps etc (they dont work!) and am learning to style my hair in twists. I am currently using an Aloe Vera juice, rosemary and fenugreek spray on my hair and castor oil massages. Definitely need a lot of patience and TLC, no tight styles at all. anybody that does not like my look can a) pick a bridge and jump or b) go hug a transformer!
We love you and your honesty! Don't worry love, your hair will be back before you know it. I went through the same thing last summer and now my hairline is back 🙏🏽❤ i was strict with my daily vitamins and scalp massages with my homemade ayurvedic oil. You'll be ok 🤗❤
I thought I was tripping but my hairline looks like it broke off too , I have been using the Mielle rosemary collection and wild growth oil to try and get my hair back
Yup it’s funny that I came across your vid cause I JUST noticed my edges disappearing yesterday. I think it’s because of the stress this quarantine is putting me thru. 🤦🏾♀️
My hairline has actually always like this ever since I was a kid. I’ve learned to accept that’s just how it is 😭 I’ve tried all the oils and scalp massages and the corners always recede.
Fenugreek, whether oil or infused water for spray, really help w/ stimulating growth! It really helped repair the damage my hair had--my stress spot is the middle of my head. I saw extreme growth. I hope your hair recovers girl. Edges are everything to a Black woman!
You are not alone. Lost my edges and I think they are finally coming back. Was never one to slick edges. But found i was anemic so taking iron did help me. I usually do try to keep up with my zinc
Yeah, that’s what scares me about a lot of African braiders. The braids always look good, but they’re so tight! I’ve heard many people edges and kitchen breaking off due to the tight braids.
Girllll!!!!! Lemme tell you, i work as a pharmacy technician in cvs & with this pandemic happening I was so stressed that my hair THINNNED OUT which has never happened in my life before except for when I chemically messed with it with a relaxer years ago. I’m trying to get it back on track & ohmygosh the day I realized my hair wasn’t as full I almost had a mini breakdown needed my mom & boyfriend to calm my ass down. This pandemic messing with everybody!!!!
Man, my heart goes out to those feeling stressed. Try thinking of the positives though. Write down the blessings. I love not fighting traffic to and from work. Being home is so calming. I have time to sleep, think, enjoy time with myself. Thinking about these things helps me stay happy. ☺️
Phillo why are you putting anything on your edges other than oil? And a toothbrush to boot? These are just going to exasperate the issue. I would suggest applying coconut oil to your edges every night until they grow back. Meanwhile I wouldn’t put anything other than oil on them. Especially not gel, or that rough toothbrush. FYI, what broke my edges off were not sleeping on satin, micro braids, tight weaves, and gel.
Bless it! 😫😭 dont let the edges fall out kinfolk! Hey tameka!!! Please dont stress....stress can make your hair fall out. Peppermint oil is good and calming too!
My edges were thinning at one point and I was acting just like this!!! 😩😂 I hope that everything gets better tho cause that can be stressful. The last thing a woman wants is to lose them edges 🥴
Awesome video! I truly hope and pray healing and increase over and for you. Not stressing is easier said than done but I’m sure you’ll find the peace needed. It ain’t a journey for no reason!
I had to leave heat , high manipulation even using brushes and products that were too heavy -oils or gels on my edges . And no scarf too tight tied and the type of scarves . I literally just wet my edges with a little water and then use the pads of my fingers to “train” / smooth my edges and lightly wrap them up Fenugreek you can add to your dishes you cook and to your oil and it works . MSM I’ve found helps too. Your stylist is right that you have to feed your body right from the inside out 💕💕
My hair has been thriving but I haven’t been stressing at all . I pray your mind gets rest and peace. The more you stress the more it will come out. Also stop touching it dry just moisturize it and do soft twist and wrap it with silk headband. Forget vitamins drink a glass of 🍷 and turn on some Sade Sis.
Is this a natural hair thing !!! Because I’ve noticed that people’s edges ( real world and TH-cam world) be thinning and falling out... is it bound to happen and we are all now noticing it more bc we’re giving our hair so much more attention. How can this be so common among black women ??? And I don’t wear tight styles 🤷🏾♀️
Because you idiots been perming that bs for ten million years, putting all kinds of chemicals on yah edges, wearing wigs/weave, tight styles, heat damage, neglect, etc...... it's ONLY Y'ALL. The brothers hair in the community look way better, and more healthy than y'all....
I feel you Kinfolk...natural hair requires SO MUCH time and effort. I am transitioning and dealing with two different hair textures is driving me crazy and I can't really do anything with it. I'm going to have it braided to keep my hands out of it. .And, I'll massage my edges 😁
It’s great that you’re acting on it now versus letting to go a little longer like I did thinking it was over manipulation. Stress and birth control (hormones) can cause hair loss. I am currently having problems with a few areas, including my edges. If your hair dresser’s suggestions don’t work consider seeing a dermatologist. That’s what I did.
Renee K. Take Maine choice biotin pills it helps promotes hair growth, workout it helps stimulate blood circulation nothing crazy 10 - 15 minutes, don’t do harsh hairstyles that pull on your hair that creates breakage such as slick backs, tight buns, braids, etc, make sure your edges are moisturized 24/7 and also do not put your bonnet directly on your your edges move it up a little to your fore head because it can irritate your edges also do not put your scarf on too tight because that can irritate your edges too. This has help to thicken my edges and fill in the little clear spots 😂. I hope this helps #letthemedgesgrow
Me Not You check out a company called shopindigene_ on Instagram. I try to tell everybody because the products work! I didn’t have any for years too and they gave me my hair back. Do not sleep in this! Edit: sorry I had to go find the website🤪. It’s www.shopindigene.com but check out the Instagram to see pics.
Thanks for this video, you are so transparent. I had to subscribe, I always thought you girls on TH-cam hair just always did well. While the rest of us in the real world 😩 not so much.
Yow I swear my whole head is thinning I don't know if I'm tripping but I swear I'm balding.....bout to go search for some zincccc massaging my scalp with some castor oil right now! Thanks again for another great video 💗💗
My hair is shedding odee toooo what is going on?! Maybe lack of vit D? Black people we need our vitamin D and we ain't getting it cause we stuck inside!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Shaqwell Mitchell Yes!! Ive had thinning/bald edges for years and tried every topical thing possible with no success 🙈. I finally just had bloodwork done at the doctor and found out my hair loss was due to an extreme Vitamin D deficiency! Whoa...go figure!!
@@kaijohnson9048 yesss that makes so much sense! Vitamin D deficiency causes sooo many problems physically and mentally, I dont think people realize how important it is. Especially now when we're barely getting any sunlight being cooped up in the house! Did your hair grow back??
My hair started thinning for like a year I was trying everything topically so I was confused because I’m young. I got my blood work done and I was severely deficient in vitamin D for the first time in my life. I realised it was because I was using factor 50 sunscreen everyday.
My edges broke off during my 2 week study abroad in Rwanda (I was had to wear a hat everyday because we were working construction in the heat) and hear me when I say: I feel your pain. Massaging and adding moisture is what helped me the most.
STRESS IS THE CULPRIT! Use rosemary oil as a massager. Boil ginger and use the water with citronella oil as a moisturizer. This worked for me, along with taking time to meditate to clear my mind. Let's get it!
Hey Philo, I have the same issue but hair is growing back 🙌🏾, thanks to fenugreek tea and oil. I've also used garlic and onion. I take supplements everyday, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamins and biotin. It's working very well for me, my hair is growing back. Your hair is going to grow back too, don't worry. Check viola and curly proverb channel for the fenugreek tea and oil recipe. Much love, fighting 💪🏾💕
Sending you positive vibes 🙏🏿🧡 I love how you were able to show your truth and be vulnerable with your audience. Hair is definitely a journey and it will grow back. I just cut all of mines off and my hair and I are starting over. It's a great feeling during this time. The key is not stress it 💯 I can't wait to try Naturall Club myself 🤗
Girl SAME! My edges are touch and go but THE BACK? And all this happened during quarantine 😩 Massaging as I type and I got my zinc coming in the mail 😂
Girl, you are not the only one experiencing this because I’m having the same bald spot at the exact same hairline as you and I can confess that is the quarantine and also finals 😭 😩
Thanks for sharing instead of hiding it like many do. I went through massive stress last year and I think my edges runned away from my hairline because of that.
I’m sorry you are going through this😢. This happened to me. I went to my dermatologist and she recommended a hair vitamin called “Neutrafol”. It takes some time to see results. But it works. You will start to see results after 6 months. My dermatologist told me that I had Vitamin deficiency. It’s a little pricey 😬 but I tried everything and nothing worked for me, but this. There is hope. Don’t feel defeated. It will grow back.
Hey KINfolk, I had to get vulnerable for a sec because this is what I'm going through. Let's have an open dialog in the comment section. Everything I talked about is in the description box! Love you all KINfolk! 💕
We will get through this TOGETHER!!!!

Try Amazon for the zinc. Vitamins are considered essential and they ship regularly
Going through this as well. Will try zinc. We'll get through this together 💪🏽✊🏽❤

Right!!!! I hate when people say don't stress....especially when they aren't in our shoes

I was doing to many puffs and buns with gels and noticed I was losing edges. Once I left my edges alone they came back.
Why is hair health more important? Things you do do your hair usually doesn't effect anything else on your body. It's not impossible, but they're the same amount of unimportant.
I shouldn’t be laughing but I died when your stylist started talking about the zinc as if you were already taking it 😂😂
"Wash day is theraputic to me..." Said no natural girl ever.
Hello Hart said me lol
Hello Hart I actually like wash day when I’m washing my own hair, when my mom used to wash my hair shiii
I LOVE washing my hair, I. Wash it 2 times a week as I train 5-6 days a week. But I enjoy it. I keep it simple so that might be why
Relaxes me
It is to me
This is so timely because my edges are starting to look like they are doing a disappearing act. Going on delete instead of being on fleek

Haven’t touched my hair in few days. Maybe I can get some length in this quarantine 😭😭
r e ! Sameeee😂😂😂
Massage your scalp 😂
I'm hoping for the same
Some Cosmetologist on here under a video on TH-cam *Aliyah Simone* actually said that massaging your scalp doesn’t help with hair growth 🤔

My edges have thinned out drastically in the last 4 to 5 years. But in the last few months I feel like I'm loosing alot of volume. Family say I'm overreacting, but when you're used to having a thick head of hair this is frightening.

Sorry for your lost may God give you the strength you need💕❤️
I pray and hope your hair grows back. I experienced hair loss because of stress some years ago. It’s very real. My hair will still shed more when I’m stressed although it does not “fall out” anymore. Naturall Products are a top 10 favorite, especially their shampoo and regular conditioner. Once it grows back, just try your best to take extra precautionary measures when you’re feeling stressed or feel it coming on. That is what helped me.
My edges on the right is doing the exact same thing!! I remember Tamika tallking about vitamins in your previous video so Ive been taking Zinc daily along with prenatals, spraying aloe vera juice and water as a leave in every other day, and prayer! Now I'll be adding a massage. Lol
You are not alone dear!! Having the same issue right now!! Let’s pray and take the advice of your hair stylist!!
Order that zinc chica. I love the transparency. Prayers up for the edges.
Shar Cuffy Ordered it today! 💕🙏🏿
Girl! I had the same problem in both spots. I started using raw aloe Vera gel( made it my self every week) and use it every night on my edges every night and Just like that I had full edges again. Don’t worry. Be consistent and it will come back. But out of every I’ve EVER used, aloe works for me and I still use it up to this day it’s CHEAP and works. You got this girl! I use softee grease as well(People might come for me for this one) BUTTTTT that thang worksssss girl omg. I use aloe, grease and oil mixture for my hair growth and it has been the best results ever
Damn I need a Tameeka in my life.
After Seeing that thumbnail and watching the video, it had me shocked. You have made such progress with your hair over the years. I must say that my hairline has been like yours for years. I have been struggling with it for years. Nice to see i am not alone. Thank you for your transperancy about your hair.
This happened to me before. I just kept my normal routine, and focused on oiling and massaging that area. It’ll grow back, just be patient, and follow your stylist’s instructions.
Girl don't panic! My sister's edges were bad too but we got them back! For me, don't stress also I found eco Styler does some weirdness that makes my hairline itchy! But above all JBC oil can really help along with essential oils! Check you diets and make sure everything is good internally! 🙏🏿🙏🏿 We gon get through this sis! I promiseeee!
Since quarantine my ends have been getting bad to the point where i am thinking about big chopping. I ran to the pharmacy and picking up iron and multi vitamin. I have been stressing due to grad school, kids and being a essential employee.
Kedeshia Peynado girl I just cut off 4in!!! It’s real out here!!
Kedeshia Peynado -Praying for you! I understand taking a full load in undergrad and graduate school, whilst working full-time. I couldn’t imagine doing with children. You’re a true Shero!
I had major breakage in the back of my head, and it kept getting worse. Nothing would stop the knots or the tangles, my hair was moderately healthy in every area except that one. I got fed up and shaved my head bald. Now while this might not be for everyone, I adore it. This is my first time with short/no hair and It's so fun! Every one will find a soloist that works for them. You'll find one that works for you❤ You're beautiful, keep going!
Me except the breakage was at random places so I only noticed it when I was braiding my hair myself ,it was the final straw (the split ends prior to that were giving me hell)
Noticed mine receding quite a while ago 😔 had the same reaction as you...felt like the end of the world. I started to massage Jamaican black castor oil and very careful with styles around my hairline
Tamkea is telling the truth! Love her. I called her stressed over my ends that needed a trim. She trimmed my hair last may before she gave birth. She told me just keep d/c and keep the hair in twist and braids and leave it and repeat. I am doing the belle bar organic hair challenge which helps keeping my focused and encouraged.
Hi , a few years ago I went to a braider in Colorado. When I took my braids out my two corners were smooth bald. I use castor oil on my edges first. I use fresh aloe Vera gel with oil. I also use rice water. They are filled in and improving. Massage is very Important.
Headbands without any slip (satin/silk underneath) will for sure break your hair off. I went to Hawaii and sported a headband every day, and when I got home, my hair line was back in Hawaii. Seriously!!!! Edges need moisture and no tension, and they will grow back. My edges grew back, but are only about 1/4 of the length of the hair in my front. Baby care, baby care, baby care. Keep it moisturized, eat well, drink plenty of water, and washing my hair more often did help. (co-washing)
Girl when u dropped that deep conditioner, I was like, “you betta pick that up!” 😂 I’ve been noticing some frustrating differences in my hair lately too. My hair is SO dry lately. I have Lupus so I’m hyper focused on my hair health and stress management, my rheumatologist (also natural) is actually the person who persuaded me to go natural since I’m prone to hair loss. I switched to the Lavender CurlMix line recently and it’s like it hates my hair, but I keep trying it with different amounts of product thinking I’m doing something wrong. That NaturAll Club deep conditioner made your hair look amazing before you did anything to it! You’re making me want to return that expensive CurlMix situation and try those NaturAll products. Ima call Tamika too b/c the frustration is real. 😖
Love , that stress will take it out !! lack of moisture & lack of going outside combined .
I’m going through the same thing. Thank you for Tameeka I don’t feel crazy no more ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh! Washing my hair is therapeutic to me too! A lot of people dread the process and I do it multiple times a week. Lol! Hoping your edges start flourishing soon.
Oh my goodness, this was my first watch but "KinFolk", definitely not my last!! I laughed,, smiled and related. I'm in and you are my fav!!!!
Baby girl I feel your pain, everything will get better soon...you should stop stressing ❤
I’m sorry to hear about this. I know people in comments are probably giving you (some unwanted advice) but the “Hollywood Hair Bar: Regrowth Serum” and “Camille Rose: Rejuve serum”. I have used both and they have worked for me PERSONALLY, but I don’t have the coin to constantly buy them. If you do then try them if you want!
Stay safe, love! ❤️
I hope everything’s okay with you sis, your eyes looked red 😢
My eyes look red bc I filmed this at 1am 😂
My hair has been shedding since quarantine started. My edges fucked up too. I’m trying not to worry about it because such is life. Hair grows back in.
Not gonna lie, my edges were thinning and threatening to disappear because I was wearing wigs for work in a corporate environment. No mas! I have ditched the wigs, wig caps etc (they dont work!) and am learning to style my hair in twists. I am currently using an Aloe Vera juice, rosemary and fenugreek spray on my hair and castor oil massages. Definitely need a lot of patience and TLC, no tight styles at all. anybody that does not like my look can a) pick a bridge and jump or b) go hug a transformer!
We love you and your honesty! Don't worry love, your hair will be back before you know it. I went through the same thing last summer and now my hairline is back 🙏🏽❤ i was strict with my daily vitamins and scalp massages with my homemade ayurvedic oil. You'll be ok 🤗❤
I thought I was tripping but my hairline looks like it broke off too , I have been using the Mielle rosemary collection and wild growth oil to try and get my hair back
Yes the mielle organics rosemary oil is life. I also got their almond mint oil too and mix with castor oil
Hi your hair looks great 😍thank you for talking about OUR EDGES BECAUSE IT IS SO REAL. 🙏🏾
Yup it’s funny that I came across your vid cause I JUST noticed my edges disappearing yesterday. I think it’s because of the stress this quarantine is putting me thru. 🤦🏾♀️
I got my hair line back too i am so happy.
My hairline has actually always like this ever since I was a kid. I’ve learned to accept that’s just how it is 😭 I’ve tried all the oils and scalp massages and the corners always recede.
Male pattern baldness
Do you experience a burning sensation on those corners with no tension or stress on your hairline?
Fenugreek, whether oil or infused water for spray, really help w/ stimulating growth! It really helped repair the damage my hair had--my stress spot is the middle of my head. I saw extreme growth. I hope your hair recovers girl. Edges are everything to a Black woman!
You are not alone. Lost my edges and I think they are finally coming back. Was never one to slick edges. But found i was anemic so taking iron did help me. I usually do try to keep up with my zinc
I went to get my hair braided at an African salon and they just never returned💀💀
glory degue yikes. Was the braids too tight?
Gamer DreamER extremely
🤣🤣🤣😩😩
Yeah, that’s what scares me about a lot of African braiders. The braids always look good, but they’re so tight! I’ve heard many people edges and kitchen breaking off due to the tight braids.
Same happened to me.
I love how honest you were with this one! Love and light to all us healing whether its edges or something more!
"I'm bout to call Tameka", girl u funny lol. Jamaican Black castor oil should get ur edges back. ☺
Girllll!!!!! Lemme tell you, i work as a pharmacy technician in cvs & with this pandemic happening I was so stressed that my hair THINNNED OUT which has never happened in my life before except for when I chemically messed with it with a relaxer years ago. I’m trying to get it back on track & ohmygosh the day I realized my hair wasn’t as full I almost had a mini breakdown needed my mom & boyfriend to calm my ass down. This pandemic messing with everybody!!!!
My hair was falling out too. Girl I thought I had onset alopecia 🥺
Man, my heart goes out to those feeling stressed. Try thinking of the positives though. Write down the blessings. I love not fighting traffic to and from work. Being home is so calming. I have time to sleep, think, enjoy time with myself. Thinking about these things helps me stay happy. ☺️
Phillo why are you putting anything on your edges other than oil? And a toothbrush to boot? These are just going to exasperate the issue. I would suggest applying coconut oil to your edges every night until they grow back. Meanwhile I wouldn’t put anything other than oil on them. Especially not gel, or that rough toothbrush.
FYI, what broke my edges off were not sleeping on satin, micro braids, tight weaves, and gel.
TH-camis GODsblessing The toothbrush was actually a kids toothbrush and it’s super soft 🌚 I laid my edges to complete the style 🥵 But I hear you 🙏🏿💕
Castor oil is the best to grow back edges!
@@naturallyphilo that's why you're in the situation you in..... laying something that don't suppose to lay down..... when will y'all learn.....smh
Bless it! 😫😭 dont let the edges fall out kinfolk! Hey tameka!!! Please dont stress....stress can make your hair fall out. Peppermint oil is good and calming too!
My edges were thinning at one point and I was acting just like this!!! 😩😂 I hope that everything gets better tho cause that can be stressful. The last thing a woman wants is to lose them edges 🥴
Awesome video! I truly hope and pray healing and increase over and for you. Not stressing is easier said than done but I’m sure you’ll find the peace needed. It ain’t a journey for no reason!
Yesterday I said oh sis is BIGGGGGG MADDDDDD she up on IG cussing!! They did try it though! Like run that money!!!
Ms Stone I WAS SO INFURIATED! 🥵
I had to leave heat , high manipulation even using brushes and products that were too heavy -oils or gels on my edges . And no scarf too tight tied and the type of scarves . I literally just wet my edges with a little water and then use the pads of my fingers to “train” / smooth my edges and lightly wrap them up
Fenugreek you can add to your dishes you cook and to your oil and it works . MSM I’ve found helps too. Your stylist is right that you have to feed your body right from the inside out 💕💕
I don't think your hairline is receding, I just think there's breakage around it. I was ready to see no hair but it's not that bad lmao
real or she probably twisting her hair to tight
It is bad when it’s your hair lol
Same, looks more like breakage to me as well
Right I don't see receding I see her parting her hair and showing her scalp.
“&& We’re Black”
I love the play on words! 🤎
Girl our hair textures are literally exactly the same, even the way our hair grows is the same, the back of my hair is so much longer than the front.
Breathe don’t stress
It’s not good to be stressed out
My hair has been thriving but I haven’t been stressing at all . I pray your mind gets rest and peace. The more you stress the more it will come out. Also stop touching it dry just moisturize it and do soft twist and wrap it with silk headband. Forget vitamins drink a glass of 🍷 and turn on some Sade Sis.
Is this a natural hair thing !!! Because I’ve noticed that people’s edges ( real world and TH-cam world) be thinning and falling out... is it bound to happen and we are all now noticing it more bc we’re giving our hair so much more attention. How can this be so common among black women ??? And I don’t wear tight styles 🤷🏾♀️
Hit me when you get answers. I wanna know too. Seriously.
maybe the high and low puffs pull on our edges if our hair isn’t long enough??? i have no idea tbh
Girl I have a twa and all of a sudden my edges thinning
Because you idiots been perming that bs for ten million years, putting all kinds of chemicals on yah edges, wearing wigs/weave, tight styles, heat damage, neglect, etc...... it's ONLY Y'ALL. The brothers hair in the community look way better, and more healthy than y'all....
I feel you Kinfolk...natural hair requires SO MUCH time and effort. I am transitioning and dealing with two different hair textures is driving me crazy and I can't really do anything with it. I'm going to have it braided to keep my hands out of it. .And, I'll massage my edges 😁
Naturals be like "it's wash day.." 😂😂
It’s great that you’re acting on it now versus letting to go a little longer like I did thinking it was over manipulation. Stress and birth control (hormones) can cause hair loss. I am currently having problems with a few areas, including my edges. If your hair dresser’s suggestions don’t work consider seeing a dermatologist. That’s what I did.
Girl my edges left me a long time ago. I don’t expect to see them any time soon but we’ll see... 🤣🤷🏾♀️😒
Renee K. Take Maine choice biotin pills it helps promotes hair growth, workout it helps stimulate blood circulation nothing crazy 10 - 15 minutes, don’t do harsh hairstyles that pull on your hair that creates breakage such as slick backs, tight buns, braids, etc, make sure your edges are moisturized 24/7 and also do not put your bonnet directly on your your edges move it up a little to your fore head because it can irritate your edges also do not put your scarf on too tight because that can irritate your edges too. This has help to thicken my edges and fill in the little clear spots 😂. I hope this helps #letthemedgesgrow
Lol yes sis! Mines left to be with the Lord while I was a teen. Hahah let us stand in solidarity! 😂😂
@@menotyou8830 💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Me Not You check out a company called shopindigene_ on Instagram. I try to tell everybody because the products work! I didn’t have any for years too and they gave me my hair back. Do not sleep in this! Edit: sorry I had to go find the website🤪. It’s www.shopindigene.com but check out the Instagram to see pics.
Renee K. 👆🏾
The smell of the moisturizer is beyond bomb...Love the final results 😍
Sis use Fenugreek seed as a hair mask and make it as a tea. Wet it on the hair every single day. U will see the change I promise u
Will def try that
Thanks for this video, you are so transparent. I had to subscribe, I always thought you girls on TH-cam hair just always did well. While the rest of us in the real world 😩 not so much.
Yow I swear my whole head is thinning I don't know if I'm tripping but I swear I'm balding.....bout to go search for some zincccc massaging my scalp with some castor oil right now! Thanks again for another great video 💗💗
Thank you for this positive video. I have been having some hair issues with my edges and my hair thinning. You really gave me hope. Thank you.
Did you ask your hairstylist for advice?
Edit: I actually watched. Take her advice, I hope your edges improve. Keep us posted!
AfrikanHairGod Oh look who it is! My Fav! Thank you, I’ll definitely keep everyone posted! 💕
@@naturallyphilo Aww you are too sweet! 😊❤️😙
Mine too sis, the stress of the world too much
My hair is shedding odee toooo what is going on?! Maybe lack of vit D? Black people we need our vitamin D and we ain't getting it cause we stuck inside!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Shaqwell Mitchell Yes!! Ive had thinning/bald edges for years and tried every topical thing possible with no success 🙈. I finally just had bloodwork done at the doctor and found out my hair loss was due to an extreme Vitamin D deficiency! Whoa...go figure!!
@@kaijohnson9048 yesss that makes so much sense! Vitamin D deficiency causes sooo many problems physically and mentally, I dont think people realize how important it is. Especially now when we're barely getting any sunlight being cooped up in the house! Did your hair grow back??
Buy women’s multivitamin gummies to take everyday
I'm in the UK and we NEVER have sun. I have my edges lol
My hair started thinning for like a year I was trying everything topically so I was confused because I’m young. I got my blood work done and I was severely deficient in vitamin D for the first time in my life. I realised it was because I was using factor 50 sunscreen everyday.
My edges broke off during my 2 week study abroad in Rwanda (I was had to wear a hat everyday because we were working construction in the heat) and hear me when I say: I feel your pain. Massaging and adding moisture is what helped me the most.
Thank you for sharing, you are not alone!
I'm the same way. My hair falls out/thins when I am stressed out.
I just want Tameka to be my stylist. But I live in Georgia. 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 She seems so amazingly talented & knowledgable.
My edges been falling out on and off since I started college.... I’ve been able to grow them almost all the way back
STRESS IS THE CULPRIT! Use rosemary oil as a massager. Boil ginger and use the water with citronella oil as a moisturizer. This worked for me, along with taking time to meditate to clear my mind. Let's get it!
Pray for your edges to grow back.
I know it sounds silly but prayer works
Your hair is super healthy and beautiful! Just relax, and don't stress. Your edges will be back in no time.
Hey Philo, I have the same issue but hair is growing back 🙌🏾, thanks to fenugreek tea and oil. I've also used garlic and onion. I take supplements everyday, iron, magnesium, zinc, vitamins and biotin. It's working very well for me, my hair is growing back. Your hair is going to grow back too, don't worry. Check viola and curly proverb channel for the fenugreek tea and oil recipe. Much love, fighting 💪🏾💕
Sweet Mélanie Thank you! I’ll check it out 🙏🏿
Yes me to..garlic ginger aloe vera onion..fenugreek powder and pills. black seed .. Vitamins.
Kdrama in the hooooouuuuussseee!
Fighting!💪
Sending you positive vibes 🙏🏿🧡 I love how you were able to show your truth and be vulnerable with your audience. Hair is definitely a journey and it will grow back. I just cut all of mines off and my hair and I are starting over. It's a great feeling during this time. The key is not stress it 💯 I can't wait to try Naturall Club myself 🤗
Girl SAME! My edges are touch and go but THE BACK? And all this happened during quarantine 😩 Massaging as I type and I got my zinc coming in the mail 😂
Girl, you are not the only one experiencing this because I’m having the same bald spot at the exact same hairline as you and I can confess that is the quarantine and also finals 😭 😩
My sister just called me about this two days ago she’s stressed
Thanks for sharing instead of hiding it like many do. I went through massive stress last year and I think my edges runned away from my hairline because of that.
Im going through the same thing with my edges
I’m sorry you are going through this😢. This happened to me. I went to my dermatologist and she recommended a hair vitamin called “Neutrafol”. It takes some time to see results. But it works. You will start to see results after 6 months. My dermatologist told me that I had Vitamin deficiency. It’s a little pricey 😬 but I tried everything and nothing worked for me, but this. There is hope. Don’t feel defeated. It will grow back.
