This video saved my hair! I didn't know that the itching, burning was connected to breaking. I certainly didn't know it was indicative to a disease that could lead to permanent hair loss. I'm coming at it with everything I can, from inside out and outside. Nutrition, massage, essential oils, lots of attention. It's been a month and my hair is only 1/4" long at the crown but, at least it's not bald so I know I have a chance. It's very thick but short.
@Cindy99765 Sorry for that. I feel happy that I caught it in time. I did a lot of stuff. It's still shorter than the rest of my hair, but no bald and shiny.
I use apple cider vinegar rinse to stop the soreness ever since then I haven't really been experiencing that anymore. I also use aloe vera juice to keep it moisturized both these things together works wonders
It's so funny that you mention changing up the sectioning. I figured this out due to the sore area. It's really made a difference. The hair in this area has grown out and no longer sore. 🥰
Omg this just happened with crochet braids 😔. It was itching TERRIBLY and sore and now it's thin and breaking! And this has happened in cycles over my life time (both being natural and permed) So grateful for this video!
Thank you for this video...I have finally found out what the problem is with the crown of my hair for over 20 years. I got this condition from a relaxer. Thank you so much!
I have been diagnosed with this condition. Taking vitamins and going to start treatment soon. I also cut my hair into a tapered style, because no more braids, or plaits, nor wigs. Additionally its occurs when the body is inflamed. So I've got to change my diet too.
Great video! I got my diagnoses after a biopsy. I was relaxed at the time and he told me to go natural and stay away from tight braids/twists. That was about 10yrs ago and today, although I still have symptoms of CCCA, being natural has helped. My crown's condition is delicate...but texture strong. 😊
You said you got diagnosed which most black women don't know to do. Although she gave some good advice black women need to be diagnosed and may need medical treatment for the inflammation and itching and burning and stop the progression of the disease and prevent further hair loss. I've ccca and being treated; did you have any satisfying regrowth of hair I'm so hoping to get some of my hair back. I can't wear wigs so I cut all my hair to a brush cut but it's clearly very thin and embarrassing. And during your 10 yrs do you have flair ups. Thank you in advance for any advice.
This video has brought to light all of the negative issues I've been having with my hair for YEARS! Tender scalp at the crown, tight ponytails and high buns with bobby pins. My hair has always grown in an upside down "u". Sides grow for days but the center is a different story. I now realize it's because I've never truly cared for my crown. Thanks a million, I have so many notes 😊
Thanks so much 4 this video, I thought I was the only person on the planet w/this issue. I call that area 'my heritage' hair because all of a sudden it just changed. Became super coarse & resistant to moisture, combing, straightening or cooperating with any hairdo I tried. It was like nope I got my own thang...lol. My scalp became too tender to touch at all & the hair just started breaking so it was just a tiny wild fro in the top of my head. I looked a hot mess & I got depressed because I have very long, fine wavy hair everywhere else so it was very hard to hide. So I resorted to intense moisturizing, black castor oil & PRAYER!!! Wigs & ponytails were my life for 1 year to grow it back. It's still resistant & very sensitive to strain or stress, it will get super sore but at least it's not bald! Thanks for this post!!!
Thanks for this video. A few years ago, I share a video showing how I grew my crown area. I agree with sectioning the crown area apart and paying close attention to that area
Good information and easily implemented, as well. This is how I care for my daughter’s scalp. Because she’s 10 and has too much hair for me to leave loose, I keep her hair in twists and loose buns. She’s had no scalp or breakage issues thus far and her hair is to her waist line.
USDA Black Seed Oil applied to my scalp 3x weekly, added to my shampoo and leave in conditioner along with taking 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp before bed grew back the balding area at my crown and nape area that i suffered with for several years, and it stopped the soreness and irritation in those areas almost immediately after application!
This really helped ne understand how I coukd "change my parting" to avoid breakage in my crown. I was told this advice on Reddit snd I didn't understand! But this helps it make so much sense! Thank you💖

I had/have an juvenile autoimmune disease I didn’t know that the soreness/hairloss was related until way into adulthood. It can be traumatizing. So thanks for this.
Imgaine this video is 3yrs old n just as I start to get scalp issues it pops up. Isnt God good. Thank you for the content.😊 Been subscribe for years but everything happens in God timing🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes, the hooded dryer can be used as a torture device. As long as my hair grew with the stylist who used to put me under the hood my hair thinned and the crown was the first to go! Excellent video
This has been the story of my life since i had a curly kit for 4 years of high school 12 years ago. The chemicals burnt my crown area and i had a wound for 3 years. But i kept redoing it because i din't know any better SMH. My scalp has never been the same and my crown area suffered hair loss and is so sensitive till today. Knowledge is power. Now i know better.
FYI: When I use a dryer, I cover just the crown with a paper towel before putting my hair up. I find doing so, it has definitely help keep the heat away yet continue to dry it.
I haven't been diagnosed by a professional, but I have been experiencing symptoms of CCCA in my crown since my preteen years. (I'm 21 now.) I have just begun to take pumpkin seed oil and am noticing less inflammation in the thinning/burning area of my scalp. I plan to add turmeric to my daily intake soon.
Contact DR RORPOPOR HERBAL ON TH-cam for natural herbs that works perfectly on, hair lost, weight lost HSV 1 & 2 and cold sores herpes etc...... He helped me got rid of my HSV after using his wonderful herbal medicine for just 17 days. you can also place order for any kind of herbal medicine to cure any kinds of illness totally from the body
@@herasdaughter5716 yes girl I’m about to turn 22! Try the turmeric and pumpkin seed oil, it’s working for me and my hair has grown back tremendously!!
@@perfectionreleased2113 Wow that's great!🙏🏿 I just got some turmeric at the store today and can't wait to try it. I couldn't find any pumpkin seed oil though.
The sun also dries the crown out. My crown looks exactly like those pictures with the broke off hair. And all around the area where I part four quarters for styling. Good Channel. I purchased some hydrolized wheat protein from the green beauty website yesterday :)
I took my hair out of braids last year Dec 2021, I had it in for 2 months. No braids for 3 weeks. I would twist it at night take it out during the day. Decided to cut it. 4c hair extreme shrinkage and saw breakage on both sides of my head, crown area. I've been using herbal rosemary water and sage with lavender oil carrot oil in bottle to spritz in the morning before I tackle my hair. Its slowly growing back. The cholesterol medicine caused the breakage. I think also the last style of braids I had. Thank for posting this video. video.
I'm glad I found this channel cause I have had problems with my crown since I returned natural. Thank goodness my hair has started to grow back slowly and the soreness and itchness had ceased alot. Thank you for all that you do you are much appreciated.
Wow this is the first video I've found that addresses exactly what I've experienced. Left under that hair dryer, I remember lifting it up off my head it was so hot. Years later I remember going for a power walk in the sun and my scalp felt like it was on fire. And then last year I could see my scalp. I changed my diet and it's better. BUT this is the first video to intelligently address this issue. Thank you.
I love the animated video. great helpful info, I needed to see this. Lately I have been experiencing soreness and hair loss at my crown, and assumed it was from a bad blowout ( that's one part ) , but the blowout was like a year ago, and the soreness has continue on and off and the thinning at the crown. I thought it was old age pattern baldness, but I don't see any men or women in my family that suffers from crown balding. This video will help me be more mindful of the tension I put on my crown area.
Your channel has changed the life of my hair for the better. Every time a natural posts something that interests me, I cross reference it with your data and information. We know we can always trust you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I love this! You've answered to all my natural hair crisis. It's like those final pieces of the puzzle that came together in unity and served me the very beautiful canvas right before my eyes revealing the complexity of my black girl magic! Yas!
Brilliantly presented! Thank you so much for this information. I experienced a scalp infection in my crown section 4 years ago. However, other than Rx meds, I was not given information on how to take care of that area after the infection, so Thank you, thank you, thank you!🌹
Great information! The only thing I wish you would or all individuals who deal with African hair would do is discuss non styling based reasons for hair loss. I have CCCA and it is due to stress.
I spend a lot of time driving and never closed the sunroof screen until I notice the hair in my crown area was more dry and frizzy than the rest of my hair. I assumed the sun beating directly down on top of my head must be making a difference. A few weeks ago I completely closed my sunroof & screen. Hope to see an improvement soon...
Your videos are extremely informative. That's great, especially for our type of hair. I didn't know what was causing that itching and soarness. My hair is very fine and straighten out quickly without heat. But I have developed crown issues, but thanks to your research my hair is beginning to grow back. I'm glad I found your channel bc there are too many no nothing channels out there just for the money. I recommend your channel to all my friends. Thank You 😊
Thank you so much for this video!!!! Helped me a lot. Since a couple of days I've been dealing with irritated scalp (swollen spots) and I've sisterlocks for 9,5 year. And this is the 1st time I'm dealing with this so now I know what actions I need to take!
I have found that spritzing my scalp with an asprin solution has more or less eliminated my sore itchy, thinning crown area. It is amazing stuff. My scalp is back to normal and my thinning crown area has grown back looking healthy and thick. It is amazing 😊
I use a one part water and one part acv rinse once a month. And my hair loves fresh aloe Vera on my scalp. The soreness went away. I’ve put onion juice on my scale before a wash once a week. I’ve put the Virgin Hair Fertilizer Ointment on and that has helped with the growth. Thank you for the info. Wishing the best results for everyone’s hair💆🏾♀️❤️
Your video came up in my feed and I’m so happy I clicked to watch. Thank you for sharing the information. I have already implemented the changes in how I section my hair.
I had, that issue. I figured out it was because of my hair dryer, so I don't use it as often anymore. I just ordered a hair steamer, I hope my hair will be fine.
subbing!!!!!!! I am working on my natural hair. I have been natural for years but now I only let me do it!!!! I want no one touching my hair anymore. 🤷♀️
People with this condition need to go to a dermatologist. This is areal disease that requires anti-inflammatory medication to reverse the condition. You really need to add that to your video. My experience with this was that changing my diet to avoid sugar (in all forms) the inflammation was reduced...relaxers, heat or anything that cause inflammation should also be avoided.
I currently am going through this i got a thin spot cant even wear my hair down so i made a doctor's appointment because i was saying myself something isnt right so i get blood work done my iron and vitamin d levels are extremely low so im currently taking both iron and vitamin d hopefully it will have a good effect on my hair
Thank you soo much for this video! This is something I experience quite often throughout the year. It will good for a few months and then look up and my crown is extremely sore and itchy. This was such great information. Especially, because no one could really help me and give me an answer to why I was experiencing that.
I'm ashamed to say, but last month I found myself cursing my hair out of frustration and wishing I had anything but 4C hair, even shamefully so, wishing it was that texture of a biracial because at least their hair can seemingly grow without much breakage. I was so frustrated because of the anxiety of not knowing what to do with it before work. It was not cooperating, kept shrinking to more than half it's length and just not coming out like the fluffy and long twist outs of TH-camrs. I got over it and just moisturized it and put it in box braids. I moisturize daily and I hope I can figure something out when I take them out because my edges are looking sparse. But shame on me for even having those thoughts over just hair. Smh.
All i know is....you are God sent...your products are amazing...and these videos saved me from stupity with my hair and has allowed me to reach midback length on my journey to tailbone length 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you, thank you, thank you
I had a similar experience and here's how I got the pain to stop: The crown of my head started burning/itching and the hair started thinning. My head would hurt so bad I thought I was dying. So I started getting acupuncture treatments and after the 1st treatment the pain was gone (I went back for 6 other treatments for different things). Its been 1 month since that first initial treatment and I still have no pain. My hair is starting to grow, so I would definitely recommend going to an acupuncturist.
I went through this 2-3 years ago I ended up shaving my head to a fade, switched hair products and kept up with a good regimen and my scalp is normal back to normal
I just big chopped a few months now and only recently noticed this soreness but I've put extra moisture and oils there and been giving extra massages and its helping alot
Thank you so much for this video. I've been recently having crown soreness but I thought it might have been due to a childhood head injury but thanks to your video I think I have found the true culprit. Love your videos btw.
I've been spending WAY too much time on my hair since I big chopped a year and a half ago. I've enjoyed learning how to take care of it and to appreciate the crown God gave me. But now I feel I need to find more balance and a simpler, less time consuming routine. My hair is growing so much, but I'm also getting thinning in temples and crown. Love my hair, glad I went natural, but I'm TIRED. Whew!! Lol.
I'm white, so I don't have tight curls, but my head hurts to bad when I try to detangle, my bang area is so full and moisturized, detangle it in a few seconds, but my crown 😓😖 I thought I was the only one, can someone tell me if coconut and castor oils are gonna help me with the soreness and dryness of that part? And it seems like I have to torture that part to even curl a bit, and I have absolutely NO volume on that area, what's happening with my hair? 😞
Bernardica Vučić Zgb I go back and forth between olive oil or sunflower oil as soon as i start to itch or feel soreness at the crown. It helps so much! As long as oil is there, I experience no itchiness or soreness.
Toxic water in Thailand is making my hair fall out. Rain water in Australia made it grow like crazy. Now being back in Thailand has caused a massive balding problem.
As always, phenomenal video. I suffer from this unfortunately. I mostly just try to keep it in big 2 strand twist and try to hide the thinning area. Thinking about shaving my hair altogether. Sigh
Sarah Brooke Thank you so much! As you can see in my profile thumbnail pic, my hair is super long, but that top middle......sigh Thank you for the encouragement though
I'm going through it too. I'm afraid to cut my hair because I have a bona fide bald spot in the middle of my head that has gotten BIGGER over the years, so I know if I shave it, that bald spot will be super noticeable!
This video is just what I’m experiencing right now I have that middle bald spot and it’s itching and burning so badly idk if I’m allergic to some hair products or what my head is itching all over
i have something like a soft spot in the upper part of my crown, I haven't lost any hair from that area naturally, but it does get irritated and tender to touch almost like hot needles going through my brain, it doesn't happen often but it is a timely recovery for it to subside. I have had episodes in the past where i would pull hair out the scalp from that area as a means of relief, i know it sounds weird but to better explain its like going to the doctor to get a steroid shot, it hurts a lil but after a lil time you feel better. I have since coached myself to not do this as the last time i did, i had pull so much hair i was left with a bald spot a little larger than a quarter. I have yet to get a sound diagnose of what this is or what causes it but i have noticed the texture of he hair in this area is much coarser than the rest of my hair. Im in the process of going natural and it concerns me of what may happen in the future but i manages it by massaging gently and anti inflammatory from time to time and using essential oils in this area such as tea tree oils or anything stimulating.
I had this problem. Hair breakage and bald spot at the crown. I found out it was due to parasites on the scalp and skull. My hair healed with castor oil and pine to the sensitive area. What also worked for me is, clay mask and vinegar treatments. Tea tree, and coconut oil helped as well...
where were you when i was experiencing this several years ago? lol Till this very day I do not know what caused it. All i do remember is that it itched ALOT...then it was spreading. it was smooth for 6 months to a year, then when it grew, it would only grow an inch... then break off back to smooth patch... and spread. My theory is that around year 2 or 3 i was experimenting with washing my hair once a month. Then I would keep my hair in mini twists. Another theory is that i was working with hard water, also when Nap85 introduced me to Vitamin E oil, i played with it, but i think i used a bad batch or waited too long to use it, and that's when the itching went through the roof. The way i fixed this...after dealing with this for about...3 years was washing my hair frequently, doing scalp massage but on wash days... or heck, once a month, and no more mini twists. I did play with jumbo braids though, because it would catch the short hairs that I did grow easily. Also, i think this is the important one, no matter how serious the balding patches are, DONT STRESS. I diverted my attention to other things, and before I knew it my hairs in my old bald patches grew . Now it's about the length that I had when the rest of my hair was even before I started patching. Yes my fro is lop sided because the length of these patches haven't fully caught up yet, but it's so nice to know it's finally growing PS: in all of my 7 years I've been natural, I've used heat twice.
It's so frustrating that there are so MANY things can cause afro textured hair to break off or fall out.
Yes, I’m going through crown damage again in my lifetime. It’s really from stress for me and I find myself scratching almost digging at that spot 😩

Imgaine this video is 3yrs old n just as I start to get scalp issues it pops up. Isnt God good. Thank you for the content.😊 Been subscribe for years but everything happens in God timing🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes, the hooded dryer can be used as a torture device. As long as my hair grew with the stylist who used to put me under the hood my hair thinned and the crown was the first to go! Excellent video
OMG that’s what happened to me. My Crown is bald and of course they blame you. My stylist told me I’m Stressed and don’t eat Healthy 🤔
This has been the story of my life since i had a curly kit for 4 years of high school 12 years ago. The chemicals burnt my crown area and i had a wound for 3 years. But i kept redoing it because i din't know any better SMH. My scalp has never been the same and my crown area suffered hair loss and is so sensitive till today. Knowledge is power. Now i know better.
FYI: When I use a dryer, I cover just the crown with a paper towel before putting my hair up. I find doing so, it has definitely help keep the heat away yet continue to dry it.

You can say that again Tiff.
I haven't been diagnosed by a professional, but I have been experiencing symptoms of CCCA in my crown since my preteen years. (I'm 21 now.) I have just begun to take pumpkin seed oil and am noticing less inflammation in the thinning/burning area of my scalp. I plan to add turmeric to my daily intake soon.

Wow we're in the same boat, but I just turned 22 lol. I'm definitely going to try to buy some turmeric to help with my soreness.
@@herasdaughter5716 yes girl I’m about to turn 22! Try the turmeric and pumpkin seed oil, it’s working for me and my hair has grown back tremendously!!
@@perfectionreleased2113 Wow that's great!🙏🏿 I just got some turmeric at the store today and can't wait to try it. I couldn't find any pumpkin seed oil though.
Thank you for this video. I’m suffering with breakage yet again.
The sun also dries the crown out. My crown looks exactly like those pictures with the broke off hair. And all around the area where I part four quarters for styling. Good Channel. I purchased some hydrolized wheat protein from the green beauty website yesterday :)
I took my hair out of braids last year Dec 2021, I had it in for 2 months. No braids for 3 weeks. I would twist it at night take it out during the day. Decided to cut it. 4c hair extreme shrinkage and saw breakage on both sides of my head, crown area. I've been using herbal rosemary water and sage with lavender oil carrot oil in bottle to spritz in the morning before I tackle my hair. Its slowly growing back. The cholesterol medicine caused the breakage. I think also the last style of braids I had. Thank for posting this video. video.
Locs thinned my crown before I realized it, so I cut them off and am growing out my loose natural hair, thankfully its all growing back now
I just cut my locs off because the heavyness was thinning my hair out.
I'm glad I found this channel cause I have had problems with my crown since I returned natural. Thank goodness my hair has started to grow back slowly and the soreness and itchness had ceased alot. Thank you for all that you do you are much appreciated.
I've suffered from this for 10 years. I'm 26. 🙄😘thanks for the info.
I'm 26 too you have a instagram
Girl me too but I’m 29 now
Girl 9 year for me
Any progress?
This is more comprehensive than I get from Dermatologist CCCA specialist at Columbia presb
Can't put into words how excited I was to see a new video! You've been sorely missed. Thanks so much for uploading. Hope you've been well.
Wow this is the first video I've found that addresses exactly what I've experienced. Left under that hair dryer, I remember lifting it up off my head it was so hot. Years later I remember going for a power walk in the sun and my scalp felt like it was on fire. And then last year I could see my scalp. I changed my diet and it's better. BUT this is the first video to intelligently address this issue. Thank you.
I love the animated video. great helpful info, I needed to see this. Lately I have been experiencing soreness and hair loss at my crown, and assumed it was from a bad blowout ( that's one part ) , but the blowout was like a year ago, and the soreness has continue on and off and the thinning at the crown. I thought it was old age pattern baldness, but I don't see any men or women in my family that suffers from crown balding. This video will help me be more mindful of the tension I put on my crown area.
Your channel has changed the life of my hair for the better. Every time a natural posts something that interests me, I cross reference it with your data and information. We know we can always trust you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
you were the one to introduce me to the puff cuff years ago. i think it's really helped to strengthen my crown!! 👊🏾
curlykiki just ordered some for me and my daughters. I hope it helps us like it's helped you 😊
Your videos are the bomb because they are informative and the graphics are dynamite. Awesome work!!
I love this! You've answered to all my natural hair crisis. It's like those final pieces of the puzzle that came together in unity and served me the very beautiful canvas right before my eyes revealing the complexity of my black girl magic! Yas!
YEEEESSSSS !!! 😆😘😘
Congrats on 400k subs. Long overdue 💚💚💚💚💚💋
Sisssss, where you been 😱
I know, I know. I missed ya'll 😟 I have great videos coming up to make up for it !
GreenBeauty yass, u have our continuous support
GreenBeauty ohhhh looking forward to watching them 😊
GriimeyStarh for real!!!
This is the best informative video I have seen so far, Thank you.
Brilliantly presented! Thank you so much for this information. I experienced a scalp infection in my crown section 4 years ago. However, other than Rx meds, I was not given information on how to take care of that area after the infection, so Thank you, thank you, thank you!🌹
Great information! The only thing I wish you would or all individuals who deal with African hair would do is discuss non styling based reasons for hair loss. I have CCCA and it is due to stress.
I spend a lot of time driving and never closed the sunroof screen until I notice the hair in my crown area was more dry and frizzy than the rest of my hair. I assumed the sun beating directly down on top of my head must be making a difference. A few weeks ago I completely closed my sunroof & screen. Hope to see an improvement soon...
Cap 😂
CK-Knight J.R Mid-August in “Hot-Lanta”? Absolutely not 😅
Your videos are extremely informative. That's great, especially for our type of hair. I didn't know what was causing that itching and soarness. My hair is very fine and straighten out quickly without heat. But I have developed crown issues, but thanks to your research my hair is beginning to grow back.
I'm glad I found your channel bc there are too many no nothing channels out there just for the money. I recommend your channel to all my friends.
Thank You 😊
You are so knowledgeable. Thank you for these videos.
Thank You 😀
So helpful. Going forward Being more mindful of my crown 💚💚
Thank you so much for this video!!!! Helped me a lot. Since a couple of days I've been dealing with irritated scalp (swollen spots) and I've sisterlocks for 9,5 year. And this is the 1st time I'm dealing with this so now I know what actions I need to take!
Fantastic video. I am suffering from this condition and making changes!
I have found that spritzing my scalp with an asprin solution has more or less eliminated my sore itchy, thinning crown area. It is amazing stuff. My scalp is back to normal and my thinning crown area has grown back looking healthy and thick. It is amazing 😊
I got to try this I’m bald on the painful spot. All my hair came out . But that part hurts give me headache feel like bump.
Baby asprin?
Please how do you make this?
I will try this too.
I use a one part water and one part acv rinse once a month. And my hair loves fresh aloe Vera on my scalp. The soreness went away. I’ve put onion juice on my scale before a wash once a week. I’ve put the Virgin Hair Fertilizer Ointment on and that has helped with the growth. Thank you for the info.
Wishing the best results for everyone’s hair💆🏾♀️❤️
I wish there had been more info on this when I first went through through this more than 15 years ago.
Your video came up in my feed and I’m so happy I clicked to watch. Thank you for sharing the information. I have already implemented the changes in how I section my hair.
I had, that issue. I figured out it was because of my hair dryer, so I don't use it as often anymore. I just ordered a hair steamer, I hope my hair will be fine.
subbing!!!!!!! I am working on my natural hair. I have been natural for years but now I only let me do it!!!! I want no one touching my hair anymore. 🤷♀️
People with this condition need to go to a dermatologist. This is areal disease that requires anti-inflammatory medication to reverse the condition. You really need to add that to your video. My experience with this was that changing my diet to avoid sugar (in all forms) the inflammation was reduced...relaxers, heat or anything that cause inflammation should also be avoided.
Of course, that information is in part 2
Black seed oil..no need for doctor
Donna why black seed oil?
@@IcyBandicoot it is said to cure everything but death...
@@MsLignumvitae 🤣🤣🤣
I'll take you word.
I stop using perm in my hair and be all natural
I was losing my hair rapid! Thank God its changing
Exactly what's currently happening to me. Thanks for the tips
For me, it's the lower crown section, buy hopefully these tips will help. Really don't want to lose my hair
I have this!!!!!!! So does my mom and all her sister's!!!! I never knew the name or how to grow the hair.
I currently am going through this i got a thin spot cant even wear my hair down so i made a doctor's appointment because i was saying myself something isnt right so i get blood work done my iron and vitamin d levels are extremely low so im currently taking both iron and vitamin d hopefully it will have a good effect on my hair
Glad you are back. Missed you. Thank you so much.
Thank you soo much for this video! This is something I experience quite often throughout the year. It will good for a few months and then look up and my crown is extremely sore and itchy. This was such great information. Especially, because no one could really help me and give me an answer to why I was experiencing that.
I'm ashamed to say, but last month I found myself cursing my hair out of frustration and wishing I had anything but 4C hair, even shamefully so, wishing it was that texture of a biracial because at least their hair can seemingly grow without much breakage.
I was so frustrated because of the anxiety of not knowing what to do with it before work.
It was not cooperating, kept shrinking to more than half it's length and just not coming out like the fluffy and long twist outs of TH-camrs.
I got over it and just moisturized it and put it in box braids. I moisturize daily and I hope I can figure something out when I take them out because my edges are looking sparse. But shame on me for even having those thoughts over just hair. Smh.
All i know is....you are God sent...your products are amazing...and these videos saved me from stupity with my hair and has allowed me to reach midback length on my journey to tailbone length 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you, thank you, thank you
I had a similar experience and here's how I got the pain to stop: The crown of my head started burning/itching and the hair started thinning. My head would hurt so bad I thought I was dying. So I started getting acupuncture treatments and after the 1st treatment the pain was gone (I went back for 6 other treatments for different things). Its been 1 month since that first initial treatment and I still have no pain. My hair is starting to grow, so I would definitely recommend going to an acupuncturist.
I went through this 2-3 years ago I ended up shaving my head to a fade, switched hair products and kept up with a good regimen and my scalp is normal back to normal
Ive noticed my hair at the crown is a different texture. It’s kind of coarse…wirey…brittle.
I just big chopped a few months now and only recently noticed this soreness but I've put extra moisture and oils there and been giving extra massages and its helping alot
Good 💚 as long as you stay on top of it, it should not progress
Thank you so much for this video. I've been recently having crown soreness but I thought it might have been due to a childhood head injury but thanks to your video I think I have found the true culprit.
Love your videos btw.
Thank you ... Im so happy to hear that !!
I've been spending WAY too much time on my hair since I big chopped a year and a half ago. I've enjoyed learning how to take care of it and to appreciate the crown God gave me. But now I feel I need to find more balance and a simpler, less time consuming routine. My hair is growing so much, but I'm also getting thinning in temples and crown. Love my hair, glad I went natural, but I'm TIRED. Whew!! Lol.
my crown is by far the longest part of my hair but the pain i get when i comb it is unreal 😭😭
Naomi Rachel Me too!
Naomi Rachel same here. When I first went natural ooh Lord it seemed like the hardest part to manage.
Me too. It's the kinkiest part of my hair and also gets dry the fastest.
I'm white, so I don't have tight curls, but my head hurts to bad when I try to detangle, my bang area is so full and moisturized, detangle it in a few seconds, but my crown 😓😖 I thought I was the only one, can someone tell me if coconut and castor oils are gonna help me with the soreness and dryness of that part? And it seems like I have to torture that part to even curl a bit, and I have absolutely NO volume on that area, what's happening with my hair? 😞
Bernardica Vučić Zgb I go back and forth between olive oil or sunflower oil as soon as i start to itch or feel soreness at the crown. It helps so much! As long as oil is there, I experience no itchiness or soreness.
Toxic water in Thailand is making my hair fall out. Rain water in Australia made it grow like crazy. Now being back in Thailand has caused a massive balding problem.
As always, phenomenal video. I suffer from this unfortunately. I mostly just try to keep it in big 2 strand twist and try to hide the thinning area. Thinking about shaving my hair altogether. Sigh
Crystal Wilburn don't shave it because it won't help the balding area grow back
Sarah Brooke Thank you so much! As you can see in my profile thumbnail pic, my hair is super long, but that top middle......sigh Thank you for the encouragement though
I just cut my hair for this very reason, & the crown is *not* growing back 😢
I'm going through it too. I'm afraid to cut my hair because I have a bona fide bald spot in the middle of my head that has gotten BIGGER over the years, so I know if I shave it, that bald spot will be super noticeable!
Cool Crafty Creations "6f
This video is just what I’m experiencing right now I have that middle bald spot and it’s itching and burning so badly idk if I’m allergic to some hair products or what my head is itching all over
Your hair and scalp looks so healthy, I wish I'd learned all this stuff 20 years ago before my hair started thinning out
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’ve had this problem for years with no answer. The hair dryer being a culprit makes sense
i have something like a soft spot in the upper part of my crown, I haven't lost any hair from that area naturally, but it does get irritated and tender to touch almost like hot needles going through my brain, it doesn't happen often but it is a timely recovery for it to subside. I have had episodes in the past where i would pull hair out the scalp from that area as a means of relief, i know it sounds weird but to better explain its like going to the doctor to get a steroid shot, it hurts a lil but after a lil time you feel better. I have since coached myself to not do this as the last time i did, i had pull so much hair i was left with a bald spot a little larger than a quarter. I have yet to get a sound diagnose of what this is or what causes it but i have noticed the texture of he hair in this area is much coarser than the rest of my hair. Im in the process of going natural and it concerns me of what may happen in the future but i manages it by massaging gently and anti inflammatory from time to time and using essential oils in this area such as tea tree oils or anything stimulating.
Omg this is me!
This happened to me for years! I'm free now. Thank you for this video. It was so upsetting.
What did u do to become free
I had this problem. Hair breakage and bald spot at the crown. I found out it was due to parasites on the scalp and skull. My hair healed with castor oil and pine to the sensitive area. What also worked for me is, clay mask and vinegar treatments. Tea tree, and coconut oil helped as well...
This was a VERY informative video and very professionally done aka minus the loud irritating music. Thank you for a class A presentation.
Thanks for the feedback ... noted 💡
A much needed video! 😊 I am definitely going to try different parting because I do normally section my hair in 4, down the middle. Thank you.
Im loving this channel,very informative,professional and straight to the point
found this video the same day i wondered why is my scalp at my crown so tender
As of late I have begun to isolate my crown section and it works Sis!!!
where were you when i was experiencing this several years ago? lol
Till this very day I do not know what caused it. All i do remember is that it itched ALOT...then it was spreading. it was smooth for 6 months to a year, then when it grew, it would only grow an inch... then break off back to smooth patch... and spread. My theory is that around year 2 or 3 i was experimenting with washing my hair once a month. Then I would keep my hair in mini twists. Another theory is that i was working with hard water, also when Nap85 introduced me to Vitamin E oil, i played with it, but i think i used a bad batch or waited too long to use it, and that's when the itching went through the roof. The way i fixed this...after dealing with this for about...3 years was washing my hair frequently, doing scalp massage but on wash days... or heck, once a month, and no more mini twists. I did play with jumbo braids though, because it would catch the short hairs that I did grow easily. Also, i think this is the important one, no matter how serious the balding patches are, DONT STRESS. I diverted my attention to other things, and before I knew it my hairs in my old bald patches grew . Now it's about the length that I had when the rest of my hair was even before I started patching. Yes my fro is lop sided because the length of these patches haven't fully caught up yet, but it's so nice to know it's finally growing PS: in all of my 7 years I've been natural, I've used heat twice.
Good for you. How do you use the vitamin E oil please? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Mine is patching right now
Can't wait to watch this video when I get home.I have been struggling with this issue!
