Hair loss

[kaysunshine 47]

Happy Sunday

I know that Hair loss differs from person to person. I'm hoping not to have to much hair loss. With that being said, I'm thinking keeping pressure of my hair like ponytails,weaves, and long extended breads will help.

What are some methods others use also how long did the transition last?

I wear my hair up A LOT because of work and because my hair is super thick and long and it gets hot during the summer. My moms is the same way but she is now going bald on the sides of her head from her pulling it back all these years. I think putting pressure on your hair would help it come out more than stay in...its like pulling your hair vs not touching it....if u pull your hair some is gonna come out, if u dont..it won't. Brushing stimulates your hair follicles and actually helps your hair. You can use Vitamins, oils, etc to help also. Just don't be ripping a brush through knotted tangled hair. Make sure its DRY and knot free. Its never good to brush wet hair. Your hair shaft fills with Water and makes it stretchy and when you brush it, it causes it to snap and break.

A lot of people have said Biotin helps, some have taken it and it hasn't made a difference. I'd take what u can and if u need too you can always use a hair wrap/scarf if your having a "screw it" kind of day ????

Do you know anything about keratin treatments?

I use them on my hair after I bleached it a lot (my hair used to be bright red) and it made a world of difference. Also a cheap alternative is organic unrefined coconut oil. I've used that a lot and works well also. You can find that in the baking isle at Walmart.

I take Biotin, use Jamaican Black castor oil and emu oil. My edges in the front are thinning and have been since around mnth 7. I can mostly hide it with scarves or pin up styles. I keep my Protein at 100gms or more. I'm probably going to try collagen and maybe magnesium to see if that helps. The rest of my hair is great. Still thick and healthy. I have bra strap length dredlocs so I don't plan on cutting my hair.< /p>

I'm praying I won't have any. I'm just going to eat that Protein, take lots of Biotin, and remind myself that it's temporary if/when it happens. I'll do updos or something.
