Yaas!!! Tip #1 is golden and stopped my breakage completely, literally moisturing the crown every day or even twice a day!! Annoying, but it works. You have the best haircare advice on RUclips hands down 👊
I wore pony tails from 2000 to 2010 and I think it sensitised the follicles in my crown. As soon as I have any stress or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, that area is the first to go. I think my sister and my mother are the opposite, it's their edges.
Hi Ms. Karen, I’m one of your newly subscribers from Mississippi. I have been transitioning from relaxed to natural hair for approximately 1-1/2 years. Your videos have helped me so much. I was telling one of my co-workers about this video. My hair is shorter in the top and been having issues with itchy scalp. When I go to salon this weekend, I will getting 2 strand twist but will not be sitting under the dryer. This video was for me. Thank you and keep informing the community. God bless you!!!!
Hi Karen I used to suffer with bad crown breakage. I started to section the crown separately from the rest of my hair hair on wash days. I do the LCOS method to each section and I also started doing the baggy method to my crown section and my hair started to flourish. So yeah sectioning my hair from 4 to 5 parts worked wonders
WOW!!! Karen, this came at just the right time for me!! Yesterday I was depressed because I noticed a little breakage in the front. I think I've been combing too roughly. I was so depressed until I almost gave up my natural hair journey ☹️ And next month will be the anniversary of my big chop. I've come so far. I can't give up! Also, the front has been looking a little mushy. I do protein treatments once a month, so I don't know what really happened. My brother has been so supportive, and told me please don't go back to the chemicals
Which brand and product protein treatments are you using and what is the protein (s) in the ingredient list? What is your porosity? I have high porosity and genetically weak hair. I use a heavy strong protein once every 4-6 weeks. It may be too strong for medium or low-porosity hair. I use Aphogee Two-Step Protein Treatment which has Hydrolysed Collagen as the second ingredient. You shake the product up into a foam otherwise it's too watery to distribute. It dries hard, then rinse it out with warm water and then use a protein-free deep conditioner afterwards.
@@marleyhill34 I have high porosity hair as well, and it's also between 4B/4C. The protein treatment is by Miche. It's a balance of protein while providing moisture. The proteins are wheat amino acids, soy amino acids, hydrolyzed baobab protein ( that's the first protein mentioned on the jar), and hydrolyzed silk protein
@@luwanabennett1054 If you have high porosity hair, this deep contioning treatment by Miche, might not be strang enough because the protein is the 10th ingredient.
What kind of products can I use to moisturise my crown daily ? Should it be creams ? Or virgin oils ? And what can of hairstyles do you suggest ? Thank you very much
Hey Lauryn! I suggest moisturizing products that contain water and other emollients, and many times these products also contain oils in them. Or you can apply water based products and apply oil to lock in moisture. This video may help explain it better: ruclips.net/video/htfug2dCAls/видео.html I also like the Design Essentials Daily Moisturizing Lotion: amzn.to/4c9oCik
This has been the most difficult part of my natural hair journey. Crown is very different, experiencing hygral fatigue in this area only. So I am thinking this area has the highest high porosity 😂 I really am just learning as a go. I did have to trim it to
Dear karen , please please take time and answer me this question. i bought all the product lavender gricline , my question is when do i need them . the lavender water right after workout in the scalp or hair? and the gricline with water night time? please dear help me please.
It’s amazing that i was tired of my hair i was about to cut it , and i found your video game changer. Thankyou so much . I learn about protein and moisturiser treatment. Thanks a lot
Yay! Mission accomplished 🙏🏽 So happy you are getting what you need to maintain and embrace your natural hair again! I’m around if you have questions! 💜
Hi Karen, i don’t really understand about low preciosity and high preciioity hair . ( language barrier)my hair is like no matter how much i put a lot of hair cream oil never get enough product what do u call that kind of hair?
@@yemberhanu4380 Have you watched my videos on porosity? They may help: ruclips.net/video/eVle9xr76U8/видео.htmlsi=lGqYPQ-GvIwah2g_ ruclips.net/video/VOVfhWQ6E8g/видео.html
Great video, very informative! I have thinning on the crown and front of my head due to CCCA and female pattern baldness and have been struggling with styles to wear. I've been wearing a wig for the last several months and wanted to try something different but was wondering if doing crochet would be a bad idea. Last time I had it done it was so tight and I'm worried about further damage.
Hey there! You can do crochet if your hair loss is under control. Also, it is so important that you go to someone who understands how to work with women with alopecia. Crochet is an option but its it too tight and installed incorrectly it can further exacerbate your hair loss. Check out these videos: ruclips.net/video/P4bc7cCxG0A/видео.html ruclips.net/video/oP-p0Fls0ik/видео.html ruclips.net/video/2HaxFSXjN2I/видео.html
Hi I have a question can new hair growth feel soft and have a softer texture since it’s freshly growing out and does it have to thicken up over time as it gets longer
Hey there! I like shampoo and conditioner by TGIN and Camille Rose. Design Essentials Almond and Avocado has a very good shampoo and conditioner as well. I used to use it in my hair salon. Great ingredients and super hydrating for the hair. I will be relaunching my shampoo and conditioner this year, please join my waitlist to be notified: mailchi.mp/e3ad21062c21/product-relaunch
Thank you for these tips. Ive been dealing with crown breakage for years now. I love your half wig where did you get it? I want faux locs but im scared of that area being pulled.
Hey Ciera! Thank you so much! This handband wig is from Her Given Hair. Its the coily headband wig: www.hergivenhair.com/curly-headband-wig-p-467/ Also, I shaped it and do a two strand twist out to give it this look. Enjoy! And I agree, I am not a big extension person for that reason -- too much weight on the follicles, but a wig -- just what I need because I can take it off!!!! 😂
Hi Linda! Some products are unnatural “fragrances” and then others have natural fragrances from essential oils. Which are you allergic to? You can also check out Melanin (I think that’s the name of the product line) as she has many products that are fragrance free.
Thank you for your reply. I'm allergic to those perfume and flowery scents. I have used Palmers Olive oil shampoo and Earth Supplied (fragrance free). I will look for Melanin
Hey there! Great suggestion! I created a video on thin edges about 6 months ago, but I add a video more specific to breakage soon! Thanks for the suggestion: ruclips.net/video/-ai1LFGUnhQ/видео.html
Hey AceButterfly! Yes -- they are light enough to use daily, but less is more for daily application. I recommend you shampoo at least once a week, but you have extreme scalp buildup/flakes, then twice is week is recommended until you can get the flakes under control. If you get the follicle drops, you can use code YT15 for 15% off.
Hey Carol! I applied our Curl House Follicle Stimulating Growth Drops, which contain botanicals that reduce inflammation and calm tenderness, and secondly I just didn't put any more stress on the scalp with my style (just let me hair be free for a few days). It healed pretty quickly.
My breakage was those black ponytail elastic bands, I was wearing a top knot. I am going to work on your suggestions so it will start growing again. I am experiencing a gold ish tone to my gray hair what is making this happen?
Minerals and chemicals in your water. Buy a water shower filter or use a chelating and clarifying Shampoo like Paul Mitchell Shampoo three once a month.
Use a "purple" shampoo and conditioner to tackle the yellow. I'm salt/ pepper, and those products I use every week as part of my shampoo process, but the purple conditioner every other week, in between the deep conditioning. The yellow will stay away!!
Yes! So glad you identified the reason for your crown area breakage. Here's a few videos to help your grey: ruclips.net/video/WLaJ0lKScu8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Uk20aHk6Ook/видео.html

If the follicle drops are used daily how frequently should someone shampoo? Once per week or more than once per week?

Do you know what causes the hair to knot up on the ends during flat ironing?
You need a trim. Split and damaged ends.
Hi Maria! Yes -- typically damaged or split ends tend to tangle or knot with heat, so it may be time for a trim.🙂
