    _____________________________________________
    ✨🎬Hello👋🏾! New TH-camr here 😁…So I have suffered from alopecia since I was about 9yrs old. As hard as it is to be public about this condition, I wanted to be able to help others who may be going through the same thing as well. I wanted to share how I created this look. Shout out to TH-camr "Ms Willaworld" for introducing me to this method! Her video was the first time I had ever seen this done! Although this is like my third attempt at this method, TH-camr "Vanessa Monaé" inspired me to give it another try. 💕#alopecia #hairloss #hairstyle
    Products Used in video:
    •1 pack of Premium Human Hair
    •30 sec Super Hair Bond Glue
    •Rat tail comb
    •Got2BGel (black tube)
    •Got2B freeze spray
    •Hand brush
    •Argan Oil perfect edges (black)
    🚨‼️ Please Dont Leave fake edges/ illusion edges on over 3 consecutive days when using these products, it could cause skin irritation. I also highly recommend using proper skin protectors, and doing a skin test, prior to using this method. Then clean area thoroughly after taking down.

    Correction: *illusion hairline… not invisible hairline
    🚨For fast & easy removal, use:
    *Lotta Body coconut and shea oils setting lotion (to remove your illusion edges)
    *Oil free wig shine (to remove tracks)

      Do you have hereditary or traction alopecia? Because if you have traction alopecia you stop using glue & your hair may start to grow back

      @@trolln7551 I believe a mixture of both. My father has alopecia as well…but mostly traction. As I mentioned in the description, my hair has been gone since I was a little girl (so before I even start doing my hair own hair) that’s what prompted me to start doing my hair myself. I was tired of being looked at crazy, and talked about because of my hair loss. It’s been gone for years, even without any chemicals, glue, in the way to stunt it’s growth (or lack thereof) I came to the conclusion a long time ago, it’s not growing back, and that’s ok. Most importantly Ive accepted it. In the mist of it all my passion grew for doing hair. So it’s been my way of expression, and learning to improvise, in all aspects of my life for that matter.
      I appreciate your sugggestion, and thanks for tuning in!

      Please use red onion, clove's, rice, funekel seeds boil place in spray bottle you most definitely will begin to see fuzz of hair growth also add oils of your choice massage daily put on at least three times a day within two weeks you will see it can happen but don't allow clue using hair to cover it. Use stocking cap wig if you must. Because within 6 months time you'll be happy with results

      I was thinking the same thing! My edges fell out after having my daughter just over 7 years ago and they never really came back. It had gotten worse after I had my son almost 4 years ago. I've been cutting my hair all off because of that since then and seeing this made me feel like I'm not alone ❤️ Beautiful results!

      I went though this five years ago lost my edges they weaved my hair with no extra hair it pulled NY edges you want to go your edges you must used Amla, oil leaving treatment it bot going to work over night,but if u stop messing with your hair GWT a wig and add this oil every night slot massage your scalp. And yes it will grow for sure I have more hair now long and edges are back. I had bald spot its was awful. Please buy this it will work. I still use it. I stop relaxing my hair. Do not wash your hair just continue using it he oil. I wash my hair every two month for my natural oil to blend with the amla, oil. To weave no raids just a wig with no glue every night if u are off from work out it in the morning with a plastic bag. Ok good luck. This will work for sure everyday on your edges.

    Wow, this is an art form. I'm a 44yo Mexican woman with waist-length straight hair. When I was sixteen a cousin from the States came to Mexico for a visit. Before the visit, I asked my cousin to bring pictures of his friends and girlfriend and a pic of his surroundings because at that time I had never been to the states. You have to remember this was mid 90's and there was no social media available, no internet or cells available for poor people like us. Anyway, to this day I clearly remember gasping when he showed me the pic of his girlfriend. Up to that point in my life I had never seen such a beautiful girl ever! Her beautiful dark flawless skin, her exquisite nail art, the bright colors of her clothes, her extremely white sneakers (I know it's a weird thing to say but at least for me it was a sight because we had no pavement and it was borderline impossible to keep your shoes clean let alone white sneakers with white laces!) Her gold earrings, I was mesmerized. What had me in awe was her hair. I had never seen anything like it. It was asymmetrical down to her ear on one side and the other side above her ear. She had unique curls, well, to me they look like curls but they weren't. I know the statement makes no sense but that's the only way for me to describe it. Right there in then, I made up my mind that I wanted curly hair. So I did what any sensible broke teenager with zero hair care knowledge, I permed my hair at home by myself. It was a disaster. I burnt my hair and had to shave my head at sixteen. My confidence was out the window and I only left the house to go to school. Do you know who gave me the confidence to embrace my hairless head? Black women. I purposely sought out magazines that feature BW, it was so freaking difficult but was able to manage. BW has so much confidence, not afraid to take fashion risks. BW are trendsetters. Thank you, BW for providing a sixteen-year-old in a town in Mexico the boost in confidence that I needed to embrace my hair and head. To this day I love curly hair. After my hair failure and the trauma, I won't ever perm it ever again. The most I do is curl my straight hair but the curls don't last because my hair is very straight. Thank you for reading this long post. I had to give BW their well-deserved flowers 💐

    There are different forms of alopecia and seeing a dermatologist can help. I think alopecia isn’t talked about enough in the black community. It’s not always wearing weave that’s the problem. Cutting your hair or going natural isn’t always a cure for bald edges/hairlines. I did the big chop thinking it would help, but my hair grew back and no hair in the same areas where I was bald. Alopecia can be due to hormonal changes etc. it’s best to see a dermatologist to see if it’s reliable.

Yes, many people know of traction alopecia which is caused by hairstyles, weaves and braiding being too tight and damaging. BUT many people also suffer from a form of alopecia that is due to their heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions etc, it may not be their fault, just the luck of the draw. I imagine this type of a video is an option for those people who ALREADY have bald spots and want options for dealing with their hair.

    Sweetheart!
    Thank you for the video. You did a beautiful job. I am a 60 year old sister and I also have Alopecia in the same areas of my head. It was worse about a year and a half ago. I stopped with the chemicals and any type of fraction that will cause hair loss. I decided going natural. I wish you could see my edges today from a year and a half ago.
    I spray clean water on my scalp and I also made my own oils which has helped with the restoration of some of my edges. I didn't think I would ever see them again.
    But God is Good! And with him all things are possible!
    Peppermint, Tee Tree, and Rosemary oils are my main go-to-oils. I haven't stopped using without let up. Last by least, massaging the scalp will also help the hair to grow.

      Now I’m no expert, but It’s not weave itself that’s bad (unless it’s in too tight) it’s moreso the way in which we take our hair down, and maintain it while in these styles. Those are the most the crucial things to know. That can literally make or break someone’s hair if done wrong… I’m an advocate for preventative measures to take to reduce the chance of hair loss.

    I am so sorry you are suffering from alopecia. You are beautiful regardless. A few times I lost half my hair (about a thousand strands falling out daily). I was able to reverse the problem with a Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar scalp/hair rinse (ACV and water), Garden of Life Mykind Organics Prenatal Gummy Vitamins (not pregnant), and drinking fenugreek water daily. I ate the seeds afterwards. All you have to do is soak fenugreek seeds into water for 24 hours.. even 48 if want. I made jars of it. I saw little hairs sprouting everywhere. It's worth a try. God Bless.

She went to cosmetology school and opened her own business. over 30 years and i haven't seen her with a bad weave. she perfected her style and people flocked to her. She said she had to lock the shop doors or people would be coming in nonstop requesting her services. Some days she stayed up all night doing hair but she stopped doing that.

    Traction and stress alopecia is very common. Especially when black women are indoctrinated to think natural hair isn't beautiful. Getting relaxed, tightly braided since childhood. It takes a toll. I ain't even black. I'm Mexican but I was told my frizzy curls weren't cute as a teen. I love dress up as much as the next person. But I had to stop when I started experiencing traction alopecia from my extensions. I was already at risk because my mom had alopecia from stress and rheumatoid arthritis. I wanted to add more extensions to cover it up. But the hairdresser was supper supportive and told me that wasn't a good idea. Thankfully I took heed and stopped and let my scalp heal. Went to a Dr. Used steroids and topicals they prescribed to me. Took years but my head is back to normal. Not sure if this beautiful young lady has a diagnosis but I thought I'd share in case my story can help. Took me a long time to love myself. But we are more than breasts, ass and hair. I looked a mess in public during the healing process because you can suffocate your scalp with wigs or scarfs. So I had to face the damage I did. And I am better for it. If you don't like my frizzy ass curls then POOF be gone. That's they problem. EDIT: IF she does have a diagnosis and it's just regular alopecia, and all treatment options have failed. I still feel that this is damaging the healthy follicles near the stunted ones with this glue. In the end do it for yourself and no one else. And if this is what you need, then be as happy as you can fellow woman. You seem very sweet and strong. I really do wish you the best.
