I just wanted to say I’m praying for you and hope the doctors will listen so you can get to the bottom of this. You and your family have been missed and are loved by all of us!!!
I had a lot of hair loss in my crown for YEARS, literally. At first it bothered me, I just wore a lot of wigs and I was extremely self conscious. I prayed about it and over time Iet it go. I accepted the fact that I may have CCA alopecia at a young age (I was 27, I'm 41 now) I started wearing my hair in the styles that look best on me, slick-natural hair styles, or braids done by me, I let go of the wig and weaves and just maintained it but never obsessed over it like I used to. Over time, I realized my hair grew back. Its still never will be extremely thick in that area but I just try not to let it get to me. Average folks can not tell I ever had hair issues and it looks thick and full to them. I have never had a problem with stressing over my hair now. I let go and give it to the Lord. If my hair is ever thin I may run to a weave or wig, but for now no. Your hair is beautiful, I know you may think otherwise and you say we can't see on camera, but even in the pictures. I think we should all appreciate this, because my situation was so bad it was all bald on the top. I was so embarassed. So please please consider praying and just learn different styles and not stress much about it and it will indeed grow.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I was 28 when I was diagnosed with CCC alopecia, and now 29. I wear wigs most of the time and don't have the confidence to wear my own hair. Giving it to the Lord as well, and I no longer stress over it but would like to find a way to go without wigs at least sometimes and still look professional.
I had a scalp biopsy done last month in December due to hair loss in my crown and thinning in certain areas for years. I had my hormones ferritin, etc. checked and everything came back normal. When I received the results from my scalp biopsy it only showed inflammation on the scalp. You will feel discomfort after the biopsy once the medication wears off for the first 1 to 3 days. For myself, my scalp felt sore and itchy for 3 weeks in the area of the biopsy. The area didn't hurt those 3 weeks just sore. I had stitches on my scalp for 2 weeks and then removed after those 2 weeks. You will have to keep the area clean and keep vaseline on the area of the biopsy. You can still wash your hair just make sure you are gentle in the area of the biopsy. My doctor told me that hair would grow around the scar where the biopsy was done because I had concerns about the area leaving a bald spot. Even with the stitches on your scalp from the biopsy, I don't think no one will be able to see them. So, you will be fine with wearing your hair out in public.
@@ree6835 Yes, the doctor said it's inflammation and prescribed some antibiotics for the inflammation. I have to return to the doctor at the end of next month in March.
Hard water and not clarifying my hair at least once a month was my issue. Calcium buildup is a nightmare, preventing moisture from penetrating so my hair felt extremely dry even though I was moisturizing. Turns out, that was my issue. My hair has so much buildup, my strands were suffocating and dying. Now I use a clarifying shampoo followed by a moisturizing shampoo, once a month and purified water. I only use grease to seal, but not on my scalp, back to old-school. Who knew?? My hair and scalp loves me for it. I'm rooting for you Queen. Take care of self first❤🙏🏾
I'll be trying this bc im going through the same thing as her. However, getting bc to the basic is what I've been slowly trying for. Guess I will jump all in now.
Post Menopausal here. Frankly my hair looks more like YOURS then any of the young Sisters doing TH-cam Natural Hair tutorials now. I'm wondering if WE, in fact, ARE THE NORM in the 4C community rather then them. Don't get it twisted, God bless them and I enjoy their videos & will continue to watch them but I think those of us having these problems (for whatever the reasons) need to make a presence on TH-cam too.
Oh girl, I feel for you…I understand. I’ve been allergic to things all my life. Things I had to stay away from as a child, now I don’t have a problem with. Things that never bothered me before now do. I had early menopause at 40, actually it was more like 39. Because for a year they said the test showed that I wasn’t, even though the symptoms pointed to it. When I went back back a year later cause the symptoms were driving me crazy…the doctor says oh, you’re well into your menopause. After that is when I started noticing the hair at both temples was getting thinner, I as you said thank God for shrinkage and frizz. Then I find out in my 50s I have Lupus and loosing more hair and now the inflammation is in my scalp so I lost about a quarter size amount of hair. The dermatologist biopsy it the just to confirm that it was the lupus, then says there is nothing you can do. I stop going to her…she made me feel so uncomfortable, she acted like she didn’t want to touch my scalp, and was so condescending with her response. I have a new one and her bedside manner is sooo much better and giving me suggestions of things to try for my skin and hair. She suggested trying Rogaine and took pics of my scalp to determine if it works when I go back. I know you’ve been dealing with this for years, I remember your earlier videos. I pray that you get a clear diagnosis and or solution to help you. Love seeing you again.
It’s good to see you! I did the same I have Telogen effluvium. But I also have cycling Lichen Planus. I’m going through a hormonal phase and dealing with it. I wish I had as much hair as you. Until it grows back, I’m rocking some fabulous units and learning a lot. You are not alone. You are loved. Grace and ✌🏾 peace.
I cannot put into words how this video made me feel. 10 years ago, my scalp started to die off. I had sheets of skin peeling off my head, taking all attached hair with it. My scalped itched in a way I never experienced before. With every wash, i lost more hair, until it all came out. I lived in Iowa at the time and my only option was a white male dermatologist. He told me if the cream he prescribed didn't resolve the issue by the 3rd appointment, he would do a scalp biopsy. Not knowing what that was, I did not return for the 3rd visit. I went to church the following Sunday and opened up to my adult Sunday school class. One of the ladies has a daughter that is a cosmetologist and dermatologist. I called her the next day, and cried halfway thru the call, if only because someone understood what it meant to have lost my hair. She sent me some supplements that I took religiously. Ten years later, my hair has been restored, better than before. Keep the faith, sis. You will find the answer
I don’t know if you are in NY but Dr. Osei-Tutu is my dermatologist and was able to diagnose me when no one else could. I commute from NJ to Brooklyn just to see her. She’s a black woman.
I feel your pain I just went and had a biopsy done by my dermatologist and she diagnosed me with CCCA alopecia my hair was thinning in the crown area. I got two steroid shots, steroid ointment, and nothing helped my hair I decided to go to a stylist to see if she could possibly grow my hair back, she asked who told me I had alopecia and I mentioned my dermatologist she said just by looking at the pattern of your hair loss and thinning. You have a hormonal imbalance not alopecia need to say my diet was poor and I had been eating a lot of sugar I have since been working on a healthier diet also taking evening PEMINROSE oil, turmeric for the inflammation and zinc. She washed my hair with organic products and also did a steam treatment on my hair. Needless to say that was three weeks agoand my hair has come back to life less shedding, and I could see my scalp finally starting to filling in with small pieces of hair. I will never go back to the dermatologist, nor will I continue taking steroid injections.
U might want to consider taking the pumpkin seed oil orally/by mouth also: I take 2 capsules every night before bed (“Swanson” brand - available on Amazon - is quite good). Honestly, the pattern of hair loss you exhibit looks exactly like what my doctors explained as the shedding associated with menopause and perimenopause. And I totally understand your hesitancy to see a dermatologist after having seen multiple other physicians and specialists over the years: I was the same way because rumor has it that they tend to focus on “black women’s hair practices” (and I have never had braids, cornrows, wigs, etc in my whole life; plus have never even had my hair pulled back in any way - pony tail or whatever - since middle school, lol; moreover, it’s been well over 10 years since I’ve had a relaxer). Anyway, I hope u get answers and feel better over time. My own experience is that I’ve never regained the thickness I used to have in my younger adult years; however, my hair continues to grow - it’s longer than bra-strap length - and I’ve learned to camouflage the thin areas (much like you’re already doing) such that I don’t stress too much about how it looks. My best to you!
Thanks for this post! I actually purchased the pumpkin seed oil pills over a year ago but created poorly to them likely because they were made in a facility that processes wheat and dairy smh... I'm looking to try a liquid form or gummies and also continue eating them all while using the oil topically too. Lately I haven't even found pumpkin seeds that aren't potentially cross contaminated smh. I only have a little left from trader joes.. I even called them lol and they were like there waiting on a new crop to grow 😮💨
Thank you for this video. I myself also have similar breakage around my edges and breakage in the crown. I believe I am malnurished from nutrients and minerals we all need but don't get enough of. Like Iron, Zinc, magnesium, etc. I don't eat enough meat and vegetables. I am sending blessings to you and me that we will all come through this healthier and wiser.
My dermatologist put me on men's Rogaine. It did nothing. I had shingles in 2016 and it advanced onto my scalp. My has not grown back in. It is so thin. It has length, thin to the point of seeing my scalp no matter what I do. 😢 I pray they can get you some resolution.
Sorry you're going through this still. I've been going through it for years and will continue to pray and take what measures I believe I can take. I pray you get some answers and a good resolution this year. It's sad and hurtful to me to be dealing with this when my hair is something I enjoy so much... wear it natural, never cover it up, have learned to love my 4B coily texture and NOW I can't fully enjoy it? Sigh. It will turn around for us and so many going through this. We keep trying and trusting the Lord for answers! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you All these chemicals in conditioners shampoo and leave in may be attaching our hair and scalp and hard to wash out I've noticed hair shedding and also take that pressure med which haven't read up on blessings to you keep in prayer and give ALL YOUR CONCERNS TO GOD... your beautiful lady 😊❤
I completely understand. When I went to a dermatologist, the lunatic suggested a cream to thin out my scalp! Needless to say I did not fill the prescription and I never went back! IHairloss is a very stressful issue to have to deal with, I pray you find the cause and the right healing solution. 🙏🏽
Praying for all of us, I am 39 as well and we have NOT been adequately prepared. I started having heart palpitations which scared me to death and one mini facial hot flash. Yes, we need to talk about all this. Thank you for sharing ❤
Hang in there sis. I had terrible shoulder pain for 9 months and thought I was dying. Only to find 3 other friends having the same, scoured the internet and its frozen shoulder common in perimenopause. My mother had a hysterectomy so she didn’t experience peri and menopause. There’s so much we don’t know. I’m following OB docs and women on insta talking about peri symptoms so I know it’s that. Some women have hair loss with peri menopause. Perhaps talk to your OB. Also worst case autoimmune perhaps. Praying for you.
My hair came out in clumps over the hormone fluctuations due to menopause. I had a large fibroid fibroids also. After two years, I’m just now beginning to recover. My edges have not come back as full as they were before. Thank you for sharing I completely can relate.
Sending love your way sis❤..i hope they find out what's wrong so u can get a solution. Side note, you were one of the first naturals i started watching 9 years ago when i went natural. You have always been so relatable and inspiring and i just wanted to tell u that.❤
Regarding the “allergic reaction” to conditioner - omg, I feels like we’re twins! Yes - I too was sneezing like crazy in the shower and wondering when on earth did this start when I was using random conditioners for so many years with no “allergic” effect. Come to find out, I’ve developed a sensitivity to sodium hydroxide: specifically, the formulations of sodium hydroxide that are put in many hair conditioners. I’ve had great luck sticking to low-ph (acidic) shampoos and conditioners. Consider trying “Acure” brand shampoo “ultra hydrating” formula in the yellow container - available at Whole Foods; couple with “Pattern” brand (Tracee Ellis Ross) *Medium Conditioner*. I get no sneezing fits with these, and your hair will feel fabulous. I use the Pattern leave-in too. I’m cheering you on, girl: Things are gonna get better!
I have personally had great success with pumpkin seed oil - applied topically and taking a supplement. I have hair loss of the pattern baldness type (i.e., center front and crown are of scalp - not around the edges), though not officially diagnosed. I hope you have success as well🙏🏾
You're not alone. Everyone needs someone to talk to. Get it out. Don't hold it in. I'm going through a similar situation with my hair. Like you I don't know what to do. I give you my support and pray for you to find a solution. It'll be ok...A hug 🫂 and from me to you. Take care and God bless you.
That pattern is similar to hair loss that you do see with perimenopause doctors liken it to male pattern baldness... Thank God for shrinkage is the most glorious thing I've heard!
I have the exact same problem. One thing that has helped me is getting rid of oils, and leave in conditioners. Castor oil is so bad for me and causes my scalp to itch badly. Aloe vera is really good and helps ease inflammation in the scalp and stops the hair fall, please try it .
I began to lose hair at the crown of my head and went to a dermatologist who did a biopsy, The results, were chemical burns, from years of relaxing my hair. I was told to stop using it or not as often, I stopped relaxing my hair but not until a few years later. I now have locs but the baled spot is still there, good luck.
Massage that area. I had a 50 cent sized area on my hairline that wasn't bald, it just grew very slowly. In 2023 I started massaging my entire scalp and the hair is growing at a normal pace. I'm so excited!
@@RAJOHN-ke7mc Thanks, I will try that. I have been using an onion, ginger, and oil mixture also. I boil the onion and ginger in olive oil, let it cool then add my other favorite oils to it.
Sis, the algorithm shared your video with me and I’m so sorry to hear about your hair loss. I know you must be going through quite a bit right now. I heard you say that you’re putting the pumpkin seed oil on your scalp and I recently started following I am CynDoll and she teaches about natural hair science. No oil on the scalp, setting the bonds which means blow drying or sitting under the dryer, not wearing our hair wet or letting it air dry and just simple things that have been life-changing for me and other women in her group. You might want to check her out on TH-cam.
Thanks! I'm not a bit scalp oiler unless I'm trying to stimulate regrowth as in now, haha. My scalp never got along with a lot of things so I like to keep it simple. I also haven't air dried in years because my scalp gets irritated or smelly at times if I do 😮💨. I've just been trying to do whatever doesn't cause further irritation, hairloss, and frustration.
@@NaturalMe4C check her out. I am Cyn Doll. I’ve been natural since 2009 and recently discovered her and her delivery is very passionate but, it’s life-changing. Wishing you the best.
You're not alone at all. Alot of changes happens to us when we hit peri menopause and menopause. Even hair loss. It's a lot they don't tell us. We start to discover on our own. Every stage in life our bodies just change up on us. I use to could eat shellfish, now I'm allergic.😩😒 I hope you get some answers to your hair loss. Get a second opinion if you have too.🙏🏽❤️
Ohhh. Thank you for sharing your journey. It helps us to try some things. Thyroid and perimenopause has changed my hair soooooo much. Hairline, crown and edges are trash. Just did another big chop to make it look thicker.
Hi girl, I'm praying for you, I was on that same medication and I also, use to take another medicine that was in the same group as that med. I was taking it to keep my heart under control, I also been dealing a spot in my crown for some years, I wasn't seeing any results, until I started using jamaican black castor oil daily, and massaging it and spaying water on it, but there is one spot up there, that I've been still having trouble with, and I stopped doing that every day, to give my scalp a break, because it started looking red, so now for now I just leave that area alone, until I also see a dermatologist, I just hope that I don't have to get any shots in my crown area.
Your hair is still beautiful 😍 be encouraged! My hair went through this when I found out I'm diabetic so I take vitamins take care my hair and wear glueless wigs 😔
Great to see you again! You look amazing! I have been keeping my hair stretched due to my hair shedding as well! I don't have a lot to do lose already. I did complete blood count last year and nothing out of the ordinary. I'm in my 50s now and postmenopausal... That could be the issue for me. I pray that God will use the doctors to figure out what's going on with your scalp and myself included !🙏🏿🙏🏿😊😊
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I was losing my hair also mostly at the top. Sometimes I think I'm making progress, but when I take pictures I feel otherwise. I've been trying home remedies for a while, to see if I get improvement. Prayers for you I hope things work in your favor 🙏🏾
Anyone suffering with this .. please eat red meat, family. Grass-fed if you're able, every day eat a pound of red meat, I just do ground beef as it's affordable. Don't let them tell you it's unhealthy, those epidemiology studies are BS. Please try eating red meat.❤
Hello ❤ For me, I will say that it's an allergic reaction that you have been dealed for long time and was not treated. I definitely support that hormones can play a role. It looks like more allergy on something that your hair react not well at all. Did you try to do an allergy test ? I hope that your doctor will do so during your appointment. Hair industry during the last decades screwed the majority of black kinky hair by selling fake "natural ingredients" hair products. Since I gave up those junk products, my hair flourish and don't suffer of alopecia, thinning and bald front hair. Back to basics ! Hair oil mixture as rosemary or neem oil will help. Praying for you. PEACE 🙏
Praying for you. I hope you get some answers; not knowing is the problem. I have stopped using hair conditioner for several years, for some reason it makes my natural hair really dry. Stay strong, you have wonderful supporters at home and out here.🌼🌷🙏🏾🌹God Bless You.
When my hair started literally falling out at the roots leaving me with sporadic bald patches completely out of nowhere I had a nagging suspicion that it had something to do with my Thyroid and after doing some research online on the symptoms I was experiencing I went to my dr. and had my levels checked with a blood test and I was right! I was diagnosed with Thyroid Graves Disease and now, two years later my hair has completely grown back and my thyroid hormone levels are back to normal.
I wish I saw your video before. I had a scalp biopsy done yesterday. There is this one patch in my head on my left side that just itches. I’ve dealt with this for years now so I’m hoping for some type of results. It took me switching providers for me to even consider this procedure as an option.
I felt the same way. going to doctors always turns out a disappointment. I realized a long time ago most doctors don't want to treat the problem they only want to mask the problem. they want to just .....medicate you which in turn brings more problems in your life. I realized I was paying doctors to make me feel worse! but now G-d taught me the importance of bloodwork. you don't have to take the medications they give you(personally I think it's better if you don't) but you have to do testing to know where you are. I got tested and found out my cortisol was high which caused weight gain and inflammations and all these issues I was having. before you do any type of testing do the bare minimum. make sure you're eating right, make sure you are sleeping, drinking enough water, exercising/walking, meditating, etc. because, y'all, you don't need to pay doctors to tell you to get enough sleep to fix the problem. so make sure you do the bare minimum. FIY: your body functions as a WHOLE. if you are anemic you cannot just increase your iron levels. It's not that simple. there is something that's causing anemia. you have to look at Bioavailability, hormonal imbalance, vitamins and mineral deficiency. Your Body Functions As A Whole.
First, let me say you look amazing! I hope you stay strong as you continue to navigate this admittedly long season of health issues. YES to pumpkin seed oil! I literally just started using this oil and thought to myself, I have found a superior oil! Organic pumpkin seed oil and organic castor oil are, in my opinion, phenomenal for us kinky textured hair girlies. I hope others take your experience and try it for themselves. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Hey lady hey! I was so surprised to see your video pop up on my timeline. It has been forever. I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing hair loss. We’re praying that they find out what is going and get the treatment that works for you. Whatever happens do know God will get you right on through it. You’re beautiful and such a wonderful inspiration as always. We here for you girl!! ❤️🙏🏽🥰Now I have to go back and catch up on your videos that I’ve missed 😁
I'm in the same situation. Started to go to the dermatologist, and never went. I started taking collagen, and that is helping somewhat. I believe as you have indicated as well that my hair loss is due to menopause. Praying for you!
Before you said it i was just thinking about how itchy, and painful my scalp gets at times. So i tried something different and did not place ANY product in my hair after washing/deep conditioning. Only water for 3 days and my scalp was fine. As soon as i put the leave in conditioner my scalp started itching and hurting.
I have dealt with something similar. I also did a scalp biopsy about 4 years ago and found out that I have androgenetic alopecia. It comes and goes with stress. Most of my hair loss is in the back when I lose it. Last year, I developed issues with inflammation in my body, stomach issues, fatigue and constant sinus issues. I've seen dermatologist, ENT, rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, neurologists, and hematologist over the last year. I'm talking constant emergency room visits, loss of hair and weight. I had doctors appointments every week from July to December. I found a number of small issues but nothing for the big issues until I started having constant panic attacks. So what I found out is that I have anxiety. My anxiety triggers my stomach issues and the stomach issues triggers the anxiety. I'm in a constant loop.
I'm sorry you still hoping through these issues. It's been years. I will keep hoping and praying that you find the real problem and a final working solution. I look forward to that video. 🙏🏾🤞🏽
I empathize and hope you can get answers. The pumpkin seed oil might be addressing magnesium deficiency issues that you may have. I am low in mag and eat pumpkin seeds from Whole Foods. Also, I just started adding ReMag and Remyte to my water, and that's helping. I am dealing with the beginning of perimenopause with a slew of other issues. I had 4 HG pregnancies and ended up being diagnosed with Lone AFib, a side effect of the Ondansetron they prescribed. I've been battling that for eight years (perimenopause is making palpitations worse), and they just want to put me on meds. I have had to advocate for myself, and I'm worn out. I think we are all going through it and need to support each other. Praying for answers for you.
Yes prayers up!! The palpitations are so insane with this perimenopause that it's scary smh. I was at whole foods today looking for pumpkin seeds, and they're both made in a facility that processes wheat and milk.... usually, that means allergic reaction or pain flare up for me smh. I need trader joes to get their next shipment in... Oh yeah, I started taking Liquid magnesium in the fall to see if it would help out... it's the trace minerals brand, but I want to try magnesium glycinate as well...
@@NaturalMe4C I used to buy the ones at TJ's, but they are roasted. If you can find raw pumpkin seeds, that would be best. When I compared raw and processed, the raw provides 40% of mag vs. 10% of the processed/salted. You could also buy an organic squash and dry the seeds (air or dehydrator). I ordered the remag and remyte directly from the company's website. I add a half teaspoon of each to 33 ozs of smart water. It is the only mag that works. All the other ones seem to have something or another in them that triggers palpitations. I was getting ready to schedule an ablation when I read about ReMag in a heart forum; it's pricey but lasts a long time. Palpitations are about 75% improved, especially days before my cycle and ovulation (or ovulation's second cousin lol--no idea if ovulation is still happening). I must say that I admire your strength. Not knowing is hard, and I appreciate your sharing with us. I spend a lot of time throwing big pity parties, and videos like yours give me courage.
I had a really bad allergic reaction to some hair products and started using SEEN's Shampoo and Deeper Conditioner, with great results. Hale and Hush is a professional skin care line that focuses on gentle but effective products for sensitive or compromised skin. I like their Quiet Wash and their Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (doesnt leave a white cast).
I can hear the pain in your voice. I pray that you find answers soon. If you're experiencing new allergies or having new reactions to things that you didn't react to before, you should definitely try an allergy clinic or specialist in allergies in addition to the dermatologist. I really hope you get answers soon and thank you for being brave and strong enough to share your experiences, it will definitely help someone else.
It's been rough... I was only allergy shots for like 10 years smh but only for 3 things even though I flagged for a ton of others smh! I have thought about going back down that rabbit hole again and again...
There is hope. Stay prayerful - as will many of us. Many disorders, particularly autoimmune disorders, can sometimes be difficult to diagnose because they can be "chameleons." But, stay encouraged. The answer IS forthcoming.
💥Hello, I had a biopsy done and was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. My dermatologist said this type of alopecia is not common. It comes from inflammation in the body. If the inflammation is not treated it will spread and you will lose all your hair. I started losing my hair in 2015. It started with two small spots, and now I have two large spots one in the top and the other in the crown area. I pray you do not have Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. I am praying for both of us 🙏
I’m so glad you made this video!! I’m going through a similar situation where both sides of my head are SO THIN. But then the rest of my hair is super thick! I’m so bummed because I cut all my hair off to start anew and it’s SO obvious how much hair I’ve lost. I’m not sure if it’s a mineral deficiency or stress (because I work at the P.O.!!) but I’m about ready to give up😩 I’ve tried oils/ scalp massages/ supplements and nothings working so it may very well be stress 🙁 Hang in there beautiful! You are NOT alone!!! ❤
I’m experiencing the same thing since Dec 2020. Got blood work done came back normal! I lost the front of my hair too, I had to start wearing a twist going ear to ear! Thinning, shedding, see through, etc it looks thick but when I twist it up my twist are thin! I just chopped it up to perimenopause 😞😞😞😞 he working my nerves! Adulting is GHETTO 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Feel better! Hope you get answers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This has got to be a terrible situation. Idk if you follow Fatima on TH-cam but she had hair loss and has a video out there where she details how she’s getting through it. There is an amazing improvement. If you don’t follow her, this may be another source of information 🙏🏾🙏🏾 for healing.
I have dealt.with the same thing as you for years..I will suggest Rogaine, iron and limit sugar for your fibroids . Ultimately I think it's alopecia. Ccca...don't over think this. It only makes it worse for me. Get your food allergies under control can help with the inflammation.
I am having the same problems with my temples and edges. My hair is already thin so it makes me frustrated. I bought Minoxidil and hopefully after four months it will fill back in. I’m taking it as peri menopausal hairloss. Because after turning 40, it went downhill.
My was coming out in my crown, and I started using MSM in spring water. I use 2 scoop of MSM. THE SCOOP is in the package of MSM . It’s works, my hair is back. I took picture of my balding in my crown, with in one month I can see the difference. In 3 months my hair is back. And I have pictures. MSM works. I spray it on my scalp every day the firsts two weeks. After that, every 3 days in the week. It’s works. I got it after TH-cam, I can’t remember the TH-camr name, but she black with a with a small natural. And her hair came back. I order my msm from Amazon. My hair is back, now I just spray my scalp 2 times a week. Please try this , it. Really works. ❤
What a cool idea! I used to love using MSM supplements for my joint pain. I've shared on here that I used it for a long time, but i had to stop eventually because it was causing heart palpitations 😔. Maybe using it topically is an option for me though.
Sitting here watching your video thinking 'this lady looks like someone..... who is it???' Then realise you look like me 😂 Especially your eyes!!! I hope you manage to sort out your shedding. It is very distressing and I can relate. I ended up installing locs 2 years ago and it's going well but I have been lucky so far that my shedding isn't affecting my hairline.
Definitely praying for you❤ had a similar situation after taking out my locs post covid- have tried ayuverdic herbs?? I made hair glass/ oils with amla, nettle, neem, henna, fenugreek, gloves, and rosemary
I just wanted to say I’m praying for you and hope the doctors will listen so you can get to the bottom of this. You and your family have been missed and are loved by all of us!!!

I think we should all appreciate this, because my situation was so bad it was all bald on the top. I was so embarassed. So please please consider praying and just learn different styles and not stress much about it and it will indeed grow.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I was 28 when I was diagnosed with CCC alopecia, and now 29. I wear wigs most of the time and don't have the confidence to wear my own hair. Giving it to the Lord as well, and I no longer stress over it but would like to find a way to go without wigs at least sometimes and still look professional.
Praying for you sis!! You are gonna be fine. Don't be discouraged 💜
I had a scalp biopsy done last month in December due to hair loss in my crown and thinning in certain areas for years. I had my hormones ferritin, etc. checked and everything came back normal. When I received the results from my scalp biopsy it only showed inflammation on the scalp. You will feel discomfort after the biopsy once the medication wears off for the first 1 to 3 days. For myself, my scalp felt sore and itchy for 3 weeks in the area of the biopsy. The area didn't hurt those 3 weeks just sore. I had stitches on my scalp for 2 weeks and then removed after those 2 weeks. You will have to keep the area clean and keep vaseline on the area of the biopsy. You can still wash your hair just make sure you are gentle in the area of the biopsy. My doctor told me that hair would grow around the scar where the biopsy was done because I had concerns about the area leaving a bald spot. Even with the stitches on your scalp from the biopsy, I don't think no one will be able to see them. So, you will be fine with wearing your hair out in public.
Great description of the process.
@@TalyaT922 Thank You💛
did you get a diagnosis?
@@ree6835 Yes, the doctor said it's inflammation and prescribed some antibiotics for the inflammation. I have to return to the doctor at the end of next month in March.
Hard water and not clarifying my hair at least once a month was my issue. Calcium buildup is a nightmare, preventing moisture from penetrating so my hair felt extremely dry even though I was moisturizing. Turns out, that was my issue. My hair has so much buildup, my strands were suffocating and dying. Now I use a clarifying shampoo followed by a moisturizing shampoo, once a month and purified water. I only use grease to seal, but not on my scalp, back to old-school. Who knew?? My hair and scalp loves me for it. I'm rooting for you Queen. Take care of self first❤🙏🏾
I had this same issue with hard water and also went back to using grease. My hair is slowly coming back to life.
I'll be trying this bc im going through the same thing as her. However, getting bc to the basic is what I've been slowly trying for. Guess I will jump all in now.
Praying for a resolution and healing. Stay strong and courageous, sis. 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you!
In agreement 🙏🏽🙏🏽.
Post Menopausal here. Frankly my hair looks more like YOURS then any of the young Sisters doing TH-cam Natural Hair tutorials now. I'm wondering if WE, in fact, ARE THE NORM in the 4C community rather then them. Don't get it twisted, God bless them and I enjoy their videos & will continue to watch them but I think those of us having these problems (for whatever the reasons) need to make a presence on TH-cam too.
Praying for you! Thank you for your honesty and the information you shared. I'm sure your story will encourage others. ❤
You're not alone. Literally dealing with this too! So frustrating.
I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
Oh girl, I feel for you…I understand. I’ve been allergic to things all my life. Things I had to stay away from as a child, now I don’t have a problem with. Things that never bothered me before now do. I had early menopause at 40, actually it was more like 39. Because for a year they said the test showed that I wasn’t, even though the symptoms pointed to it. When I went back back a year later cause the symptoms were driving me crazy…the doctor says oh, you’re well into your menopause. After that is when I started noticing the hair at both temples was getting thinner, I as you said thank God for shrinkage and frizz. Then I find out in my 50s I have Lupus and loosing more hair and now the inflammation is in my scalp so I lost about a quarter size amount of hair. The dermatologist biopsy it the just to confirm that it was the lupus, then says there is nothing you can do. I stop going to her…she made me feel so uncomfortable, she acted like she didn’t want to touch my scalp, and was so condescending with her response. I have a new one and her bedside manner is sooo much better and giving me suggestions of things to try for my skin and hair. She suggested trying Rogaine and took pics of my scalp to determine if it works when I go back. I know you’ve been dealing with this for years, I remember your earlier videos. I pray that you get a clear diagnosis and or solution to help you. Love seeing you again.
Perimenopause is no joke! Lots of symptoms including hair changes. I hope your problem is figured out by doctors. BTW you look absolutely beautiful!
It’s good to see you! I did the same I have Telogen effluvium. But I also have cycling Lichen Planus. I’m going through a hormonal phase and dealing with it. I wish I had as much hair as you. Until it grows back, I’m rocking some fabulous units and learning a lot. You are not alone. You are loved. Grace and ✌🏾 peace.
I cannot put into words how this video made me feel. 10 years ago, my scalp started to die off. I had sheets of skin peeling off my head, taking all attached hair with it. My scalped itched in a way I never experienced before. With every wash, i lost more hair, until it all came out. I lived in Iowa at the time and my only option was a white male dermatologist. He told me if the cream he prescribed didn't resolve the issue by the 3rd appointment, he would do a scalp biopsy. Not knowing what that was, I did not return for the 3rd visit. I went to church the following Sunday and opened up to my adult Sunday school class. One of the ladies has a daughter that is a cosmetologist and dermatologist. I called her the next day, and cried halfway thru the call, if only because someone understood what it meant to have lost my hair. She sent me some supplements that I took religiously. Ten years later, my hair has been restored, better than before. Keep the faith, sis. You will find the answer
I don’t know if you are in NY but Dr. Osei-Tutu is my dermatologist and was able to diagnose me when no one else could. I commute from NJ to Brooklyn just to see her. She’s a black woman.
I feel your pain I just went and had a biopsy done by my dermatologist and she diagnosed me with CCCA alopecia my hair was thinning in the crown area. I got two steroid shots, steroid ointment, and nothing helped my hair I decided to go to a stylist to see if she could possibly grow my hair back, she asked who told me I had alopecia and I mentioned my dermatologist she said just by looking at the pattern of your hair loss and thinning. You have a hormonal imbalance not alopecia need to say my diet was poor and I had been eating a lot of sugar I have since been working on a healthier diet also taking evening PEMINROSE oil, turmeric for the inflammation and zinc. She washed my hair with organic products and also did a steam treatment on my hair. Needless to say that was three weeks agoand my hair has come back to life less shedding, and I could see my scalp finally starting to filling in with small pieces of hair. I will never go back to the dermatologist, nor will I continue taking steroid injections.
Praying for you . God got you . Menopause , your hormone are off wack so you are going to go through things from hair to toenails but it will go away.
U might want to consider taking the pumpkin seed oil orally/by mouth also: I take 2 capsules every night before bed (“Swanson” brand - available on Amazon - is quite good). Honestly, the pattern of hair loss you exhibit looks exactly like what my doctors explained as the shedding associated with menopause and perimenopause. And I totally understand your hesitancy to see a dermatologist after having seen multiple other physicians and specialists over the years: I was the same way because rumor has it that they tend to focus on “black women’s hair practices” (and I have never had braids, cornrows, wigs, etc in my whole life; plus have never even had my hair pulled back in any way - pony tail or whatever - since middle school, lol; moreover, it’s been well over 10 years since I’ve had a relaxer). Anyway, I hope u get answers and feel better over time. My own experience is that I’ve never regained the thickness I used to have in my younger adult years; however, my hair continues to grow - it’s longer than bra-strap length - and I’ve learned to camouflage the thin areas (much like you’re already doing) such that I don’t stress too much about how it looks. My best to you!
Thanks for this post! I actually purchased the pumpkin seed oil pills over a year ago but created poorly to them likely because they were made in a facility that processes wheat and dairy smh... I'm looking to try a liquid form or gummies and also continue eating them all while using the oil topically too. Lately I haven't even found pumpkin seeds that aren't potentially cross contaminated smh. I only have a little left from trader joes.. I even called them lol and they were like there waiting on a new crop to grow 😮💨

Thank you for this video. I myself also have similar breakage around my edges and breakage in the crown. I believe I am malnurished from nutrients and minerals we all need but don't get enough of. Like Iron, Zinc, magnesium, etc. I don't eat enough meat and vegetables. I am sending blessings to you and me that we will all come through this healthier and wiser.
My dermatologist put me on men's Rogaine. It did nothing. I had shingles in 2016 and it advanced onto my scalp. My has not grown back in. It is so thin. It has length, thin to the point of seeing my scalp no matter what I do. 😢 I pray they can get you some resolution.
Sorry you're going through this still. I've been going through it for years and will continue to pray and take what measures I believe I can take. I pray you get some answers and a good resolution this year. It's sad and hurtful to me to be dealing with this when my hair is something I enjoy so much... wear it natural, never cover it up, have learned to love my 4B coily texture and NOW I can't fully enjoy it? Sigh. It will turn around for us and so many going through this. We keep trying and trusting the Lord for answers! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
All these chemicals in conditioners shampoo and leave in may be attaching our hair and scalp and hard to wash out I've noticed hair shedding and also take that pressure med which haven't read up on blessings to you keep in prayer and give ALL YOUR CONCERNS TO GOD... your beautiful lady 😊❤
I completely understand. When I went to a dermatologist, the lunatic suggested a cream to thin out my scalp! Needless to say I did not fill the prescription and I never went back! IHairloss is a very stressful issue to have to deal with, I pray you find the cause and the right healing solution. 🙏🏽
Praying for all of us, I am 39 as well and we have NOT been adequately prepared. I started having heart palpitations which scared me to death and one mini facial hot flash. Yes, we need to talk about all this. Thank you for sharing ❤
Hang in there sis. I had terrible shoulder pain for 9 months and thought I was dying. Only to find 3 other friends having the same, scoured the internet and its frozen shoulder common in perimenopause. My mother had a hysterectomy so she didn’t experience peri and menopause. There’s so much we don’t know. I’m following OB docs and women on insta talking about peri symptoms so I know it’s that. Some women have hair loss with peri menopause. Perhaps talk to your OB. Also worst case autoimmune perhaps. Praying for you.
Omg I've heard about the frozen shoulder awfulness! I hope you feel better!!
I miss hearing you on TH-cam. I am praying for you.
My hair came out in clumps over the hormone fluctuations due to menopause. I had a large fibroid fibroids also. After two years, I’m just now beginning to recover. My edges have not come back as full as they were before. Thank you for sharing I completely can relate.
I am so sorry you are going through this all these years. Sending you loads of hugs ❤❤❤ also going through Perimenopause now
Sending love your way sis❤..i hope they find out what's wrong so u can get a solution.
Side note, you were one of the first naturals i started watching 9 years ago when i went natural. You have always been so relatable and inspiring and i just wanted to tell u that.❤
Keep us updated. My hair is doing the same thing.
Just glad to see you. Prayers for health and your family🙏🙏🌷
Regarding the “allergic reaction” to conditioner - omg, I feels like we’re twins! Yes - I too was sneezing like crazy in the shower and wondering when on earth did this start when I was using random conditioners for so many years with no “allergic” effect. Come to find out, I’ve developed a sensitivity to sodium hydroxide: specifically, the formulations of sodium hydroxide that are put in many hair conditioners. I’ve had great luck sticking to low-ph (acidic) shampoos and conditioners. Consider trying “Acure” brand shampoo “ultra hydrating” formula in the yellow container - available at Whole Foods; couple with “Pattern” brand (Tracee Ellis Ross) *Medium Conditioner*. I get no sneezing fits with these, and your hair will feel fabulous. I use the Pattern leave-in too. I’m cheering you on, girl: Things are gonna get better!
It's a whole mess smh!!
Love and prayers to you. 🙏🏽
I have personally had great success with pumpkin seed oil - applied topically and taking a supplement. I have hair loss of the pattern baldness type (i.e., center front and crown are of scalp - not around the edges), though not officially diagnosed. I hope you have success as well🙏🏾
You're not alone. Everyone needs someone to talk to. Get it out. Don't hold it in. I'm going through a similar situation with my hair. Like you I don't know what to do. I give you my support and pray for you to find a solution. It'll be ok...A hug 🫂 and from me to you. Take care and God bless you.
Thank you so much! Seriously! 😭
I've been following you for years and I'm praying for you, Sis 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I pray this works.
That pattern is similar to hair loss that you do see with perimenopause doctors liken it to male pattern baldness... Thank God for shrinkage is the most glorious thing I've heard!
I have the exact same problem. One thing that has helped me is getting rid of oils, and leave in conditioners. Castor oil is so bad for me and causes my scalp to itch badly. Aloe vera is really good and helps ease inflammation in the scalp and stops the hair fall, please try it .
I have been balding, thinning and shedding since October and it has been devastating! It came on so suddenly. Ugh!
I began to lose hair at the crown of my head and went to a dermatologist who did a biopsy, The results, were chemical burns, from years of relaxing my hair. I was told to stop using it or not as often, I stopped relaxing my hair but not until a few years later. I now have locs but the baled spot is still there, good luck.
Massage that area. I had a 50 cent sized area on my hairline that wasn't bald, it just grew very slowly.
In 2023 I started massaging my entire scalp and the hair is growing at a normal pace.
I'm so excited!
@@RAJOHN-ke7mc Thanks, I will try that. I have been using an onion, ginger, and oil mixture also. I boil the onion and ginger in olive oil, let it cool then add my other favorite oils to it.
Sis, the algorithm shared your video with me and I’m so sorry to hear about your hair loss. I know you must be going through quite a bit right now. I heard you say that you’re putting the pumpkin seed oil on your scalp and I recently started following I am CynDoll and she teaches about natural hair science. No oil on the scalp, setting the bonds which means blow drying or sitting under the dryer, not wearing our hair wet or letting it air dry and just simple things that have been life-changing for me and other women in her group. You might want to check her out on TH-cam.
Thanks! I'm not a bit scalp oiler unless I'm trying to stimulate regrowth as in now, haha. My scalp never got along with a lot of things so I like to keep it simple. I also haven't air dried in years because my scalp gets irritated or smelly at times if I do 😮💨. I've just been trying to do whatever doesn't cause further irritation, hairloss, and frustration.
@@NaturalMe4C check her out. I am Cyn Doll. I’ve been natural since 2009 and recently discovered her and her delivery is very passionate but, it’s life-changing. Wishing you the best.
I'm praying for you❤❤❤ please keep us updated
You're not alone at all. Alot of changes happens to us when we hit peri menopause and menopause. Even hair loss. It's a lot they don't tell us. We start to discover on our own. Every stage in life our bodies just change up on us. I use to could eat shellfish, now I'm allergic.😩😒 I hope you get some answers to your hair loss. Get a second opinion if you have too.🙏🏽❤️
Ohhh. Thank you for sharing your journey. It helps us to try some things. Thyroid and perimenopause has changed my hair soooooo much. Hairline, crown and edges are trash. Just did another big chop to make it look thicker.
Hi girl, I'm praying for you, I was on that same medication and I also, use to take another medicine that was in the same group as that med. I was taking it to keep my heart under control, I also been dealing a spot in my crown for some years, I wasn't seeing any results, until I started using jamaican black castor oil daily, and massaging it and spaying water on it, but there is one spot up there, that I've been still having trouble with, and I stopped doing that every day, to give my scalp a break, because it started looking red, so now for now I just leave that area alone, until I also see a dermatologist, I just hope that I don't have to get any shots in my crown area.
It’s good to see your face. I pray they figure this out, but as an aside, your hair looks gorgeous to me In this video!
Your hair is still beautiful 😍 be encouraged! My hair went through this when I found out I'm diabetic so I take vitamins take care my hair and wear glueless wigs 😔
Great to see you again! You look amazing! I have been keeping my hair stretched due to my hair shedding as well! I don't have a lot to do lose already. I did complete blood count last year and nothing out of the ordinary. I'm in my 50s now and postmenopausal... That could be the issue for me. I pray that God will use the doctors to figure out what's going on with your scalp and myself included !🙏🏿🙏🏿😊😊
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I was losing my hair also mostly at the top. Sometimes I think I'm making progress, but when I take pictures I feel otherwise. I've been trying home remedies for a while, to see if I get improvement. Prayers for you I hope things work in your favor 🙏🏾
Always good to see you🥰 So sorry that you continue to have this traumatic experience!
My prayers are for answers and a cure🙏🏼
Anyone suffering with this .. please eat red meat, family. Grass-fed if you're able, every day eat a pound of red meat, I just do ground beef as it's affordable. Don't let them tell you it's unhealthy, those epidemiology studies are BS. Please try eating red meat.❤
Hello ❤ For me, I will say that it's an allergic reaction that you have been dealed for long time and was not treated. I definitely support that hormones can play a role. It looks like more allergy on something that your hair react not well at all. Did you try to do an allergy test ? I hope that your doctor will do so during your appointment.
Hair industry during the last decades screwed the majority of black kinky hair by selling fake "natural ingredients" hair products. Since I gave up those junk products, my hair flourish and don't suffer of alopecia, thinning and bald front hair. Back to basics ! Hair oil mixture as rosemary or neem oil will help. Praying for you. PEACE 🙏
I’m sorry to hear you are still suffering with this issue. I pray you find out what’s causing this and I pray for your healing.
Praying for you. I hope you get some answers; not knowing is the problem. I have stopped using hair conditioner for several years, for some reason it makes my natural hair really dry. Stay strong, you have wonderful supporters at home and out here.🌼🌷🙏🏾🌹God Bless You.
I hope you get some answers and a clear solution. Sending up prayers for you!
When my hair started literally falling out at the roots leaving me with sporadic bald patches completely out of nowhere I had a nagging suspicion that it had something to do with my Thyroid and after doing some research online on the symptoms I was experiencing I went to my dr. and had my levels checked with a blood test and I was right! I was diagnosed with Thyroid Graves Disease and now, two years later my hair has completely grown back and my thyroid hormone levels are back to normal.
I'm happy to hear that you recovered!! I had my levels checked and they were ok..
I'm happy to hear that you recovered!! I had my levels checked and they were ok..
Hey Kriss...I pray all goes well with the biopsy. Prayers, hugs, and kisses! ❤🙏🏽
Wishing you well!
Thank you!
Praying you get the answers and treatment to help you. 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Continued prayers for a solution. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I wish I saw your video before. I had a scalp biopsy done yesterday. There is this one patch in my head on my left side that just itches. I’ve dealt with this for years now so I’m hoping for some type of results. It took me switching providers for me to even consider this procedure as an option.
I felt the same way. going to doctors always turns out a disappointment. I realized a long time ago most doctors don't want to treat the problem they only want to mask the problem. they want to just .....medicate you which in turn brings more problems in your life. I realized I was paying doctors to make me feel worse!
but now G-d taught me the importance of bloodwork. you don't have to take the medications they give you(personally I think it's better if you don't) but you have to do testing to know where you are. I got tested and found out my cortisol was high which caused weight gain and inflammations and all these issues I was having.
before you do any type of testing do the bare minimum. make sure you're eating right, make sure you are sleeping, drinking enough water, exercising/walking, meditating, etc. because, y'all, you don't need to pay doctors to tell you to get enough sleep to fix the problem. so make sure you do the bare minimum.
FIY: your body functions as a WHOLE. if you are anemic you cannot just increase your iron levels. It's not that simple. there is something that's causing anemia. you have to look at Bioavailability, hormonal imbalance, vitamins and mineral deficiency. Your Body Functions As A Whole.
Hey Beautiful❤ Praying over your scalp. Your hair is beautiful.
First, let me say you look amazing! I hope you stay strong as you continue to navigate this admittedly long season of health issues. YES to pumpkin seed oil! I literally just started using this oil and thought to myself, I have found a superior oil! Organic pumpkin seed oil and organic castor oil are, in my opinion, phenomenal for us kinky textured hair girlies. I hope others take your experience and try it for themselves. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Hey lady hey! I was so surprised to see your video pop up on my timeline. It has been forever. I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing hair loss. We’re praying that they find out what is going and get the treatment that works for you. Whatever happens do know God will get you right on through it. You’re beautiful and such a wonderful inspiration as always. We here for you girl!! ❤️🙏🏽🥰Now I have to go back and catch up on your videos that I’ve missed 😁
I'm in the same situation. Started to go to the dermatologist, and never went. I started taking collagen, and that is helping somewhat. I believe as you have indicated as well that my hair loss is due to menopause. Praying for you!
OMG! It’s so good to see you! Now I have to go back and catch up 😊. Praying for you, Lovely ❤🙏🏽.
Before you said it i was just thinking about how itchy, and painful my scalp gets at times. So i tried something different and did not place ANY product in my hair after washing/deep conditioning. Only water for 3 days and my scalp was fine. As soon as i put the leave in conditioner my scalp started itching and hurting.
I don't know what's up with these products! Smh!
I have dealt with something similar. I also did a scalp biopsy about 4 years ago and found out that I have androgenetic alopecia. It comes and goes with stress. Most of my hair loss is in the back when I lose it. Last year, I developed issues with inflammation in my body, stomach issues, fatigue and constant sinus issues. I've seen dermatologist, ENT, rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, neurologists, and hematologist over the last year. I'm talking constant emergency room visits, loss of hair and weight. I had doctors appointments every week from July to December. I found a number of small issues but nothing for the big issues until I started having constant panic attacks. So what I found out is that I have anxiety. My anxiety triggers my stomach issues and the stomach issues triggers the anxiety. I'm in a constant loop.
I'm sorry you still hoping through these issues. It's been years. I will keep hoping and praying that you find the real problem and a final working solution. I look forward to that video. 🙏🏾🤞🏽
I empathize and hope you can get answers. The pumpkin seed oil might be addressing magnesium deficiency issues that you may have. I am low in mag and eat pumpkin seeds from Whole Foods. Also, I just started adding ReMag and Remyte to my water, and that's helping. I am dealing with the beginning of perimenopause with a slew of other issues. I had 4 HG pregnancies and ended up being diagnosed with Lone AFib, a side effect of the Ondansetron they prescribed. I've been battling that for eight years (perimenopause is making palpitations worse), and they just want to put me on meds. I have had to advocate for myself, and I'm worn out. I think we are all going through it and need to support each other. Praying for answers for you.
Yes prayers up!! The palpitations are so insane with this perimenopause that it's scary smh. I was at whole foods today looking for pumpkin seeds, and they're both made in a facility that processes wheat and milk.... usually, that means allergic reaction or pain flare up for me smh. I need trader joes to get their next shipment in... Oh yeah, I started taking Liquid magnesium in the fall to see if it would help out... it's the trace minerals brand, but I want to try magnesium glycinate as well...
@@NaturalMe4C I used to buy the ones at TJ's, but they are roasted. If you can find raw pumpkin seeds, that would be best. When I compared raw and processed, the raw provides 40% of mag vs. 10% of the processed/salted. You could also buy an organic squash and dry the seeds (air or dehydrator). I ordered the remag and remyte directly from the company's website. I add a half teaspoon of each to 33 ozs of smart water. It is the only mag that works. All the other ones seem to have something or another in them that triggers palpitations. I was getting ready to schedule an ablation when I read about ReMag in a heart forum; it's pricey but lasts a long time. Palpitations are about 75% improved, especially days before my cycle and ovulation (or ovulation's second cousin lol--no idea if ovulation is still happening). I must say that I admire your strength. Not knowing is hard, and I appreciate your sharing with us. I spend a lot of time throwing big pity parties, and videos like yours give me courage.
I will definitely be praying for you 🙏🏾
I had a really bad allergic reaction to some hair products and started using SEEN's Shampoo and Deeper Conditioner, with great results. Hale and Hush is a professional skin care line that focuses on gentle but effective products for sensitive or compromised skin. I like their Quiet Wash and their Broad Spectrum SPF 30 (doesnt leave a white cast).
OMG I USE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS IN THE PAST. THANK GOD TH-cam BROUGHT ME TO YOU AGAIN.😃😃😃
Hey!!
I can hear the pain in your voice. I pray that you find answers soon. If you're experiencing new allergies or having new reactions to things that you didn't react to before, you should definitely try an allergy clinic or specialist in allergies in addition to the dermatologist. I really hope you get answers soon and thank you for being brave and strong enough to share your experiences, it will definitely help someone else.
It's been rough... I was only allergy shots for like 10 years smh but only for 3 things even though I flagged for a ton of others smh! I have thought about going back down that rabbit hole again and again...
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Thank you for sharing
There is hope. Stay prayerful - as will many of us. Many disorders, particularly autoimmune disorders, can sometimes be difficult to diagnose because they can be "chameleons." But, stay encouraged. The answer IS forthcoming.
Hang in there sis.
💥Hello, I had a biopsy done and was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. My dermatologist said this type of alopecia is not common. It comes from inflammation in the body. If the inflammation is not treated it will spread and you will lose all your hair.
I started losing my hair in 2015. It started with two small spots, and now I have two large spots one in the top and the other in the crown area.
I pray you do not have Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. I am praying for both of us 🙏
Praying for you.
I dealt with hair loss due too alopecia for 11 years. Cut it all off in 2020 love being a bald girl. Praying all works out for you.
Praying for you!
I’m so glad you made this video!! I’m going through a similar situation where both sides of my head are SO THIN. But then the rest of my hair is super thick! I’m so bummed because I cut all my hair off to start anew and it’s SO obvious how much hair I’ve lost. I’m not sure if it’s a mineral deficiency or stress (because I work at the P.O.!!) but I’m about ready to give up😩 I’ve tried oils/ scalp massages/ supplements and nothings working so it may very well be stress 🙁 Hang in there beautiful! You are NOT alone!!! ❤
Ohhhhhhh girl ((big hugs!))
Just keep praying.....had to deal with something and it was lymphoma and We (God and I) walked it together and never looked back
I’m experiencing the same thing since Dec 2020. Got blood work done came back normal! I lost the front of my hair too, I had to start wearing a twist going ear to ear! Thinning, shedding, see through, etc it looks thick but when I twist it up my twist are thin! I just chopped it up to perimenopause 😞😞😞😞 he working my nerves! Adulting is GHETTO 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ Feel better! Hope you get answers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This has got to be a terrible situation.
Idk if you follow Fatima on TH-cam but she had hair loss and has a video out there where she details how she’s getting through it. There is an amazing improvement. If you don’t follow her, this may be another source of information
🙏🏾🙏🏾 for healing.
You should try Melanin Haircare. All of the products work well.
Stay strong beautiful. God got you. Blessings
Praying for you 🙏🏼
Wishing you all the best. ❤
Im glad you are seeing some positive results. Which pumpkin seed oil are you using, you mentioned a topical?
I have dealt.with the same thing as you for years..I will suggest Rogaine, iron and limit sugar for your fibroids . Ultimately I think it's alopecia. Ccca...don't over think this. It only makes it worse for me. Get your food allergies under control can help with the inflammation.
I am having the same problems with my temples and edges. My hair is already thin so it makes me frustrated. I bought Minoxidil and hopefully after four months it will fill back in. I’m taking it as peri menopausal hairloss. Because after turning 40, it went downhill.
My was coming out in my crown, and I started using MSM in spring water. I use 2 scoop of MSM. THE SCOOP is in the package of MSM . It’s works, my hair is back. I took picture of my balding in my crown, with in one month I can see the difference. In 3 months my hair is back. And I have pictures. MSM works. I spray it on my scalp every day the firsts two weeks. After that, every 3 days in the week. It’s works. I got it after TH-cam, I can’t remember the TH-camr name, but she black with a with a small natural. And her hair came back. I order my msm from Amazon. My hair is back, now I just spray my scalp 2 times a week. Please try this , it. Really works. ❤
What a cool idea! I used to love using MSM supplements for my joint pain. I've shared on here that I used it for a long time, but i had to stop eventually because it was causing heart palpitations 😔. Maybe using it topically is an option for me though.
Please use it, and hair in the bald spot grew back. I spray it on my scalp. I never took it orally.
Sitting here watching your video thinking 'this lady looks like someone..... who is it???' Then realise you look like me 😂 Especially your eyes!!!
I hope you manage to sort out your shedding. It is very distressing and I can relate. I ended up installing locs 2 years ago and it's going well but I have been lucky so far that my shedding isn't affecting my hairline.
Haha! Maybe we're related!
I had a scalp biopsy. It wasn’t bad at all.
Thanks for sharing. I have recently been reading about cooking oils and hair loss among black women. What about inflamatory foods?
I said a prayer for you 🙏🏽.
I’m sorry you are going through this. Have you had any Autonomic testing?
Definitely praying for you❤ had a similar situation after taking out my locs post covid- have tried ayuverdic herbs?? I made hair glass/ oils with amla, nettle, neem, henna, fenugreek, gloves, and rosemary
