      Knowledge isn't socially selective when we look towards its availability to all. It's a matter of allowing its manifestation to happen, not what you were born into. White people can be ignorant to hair types that are common among them, south western people may possibly be ignorant to dietary patterns that are abundant within people of their area. Foreigners can surpass them in knowledge on these matters. Peace and blessings!!

      True. What you are saying is not totally wrong but it ignores 8 of a 10 pronged subject matter...this is my point. Imo your responses do not take into account what has, what is and what needs to happen "for blacks" regarding blacks.
      Still, there is alot of correcting that continues from purposely launched attacks against the persons, character, hair, appearance, and more of blacks. Ejecting the lies and re-educating with truth, combined with healing plus is a must. The positive strives have always been present within the black community and will continue. The black Derm directory and more is apart of it. It's very okay.
      In focus, my response is to your original response to the originator of this thread.

    Talking about this normalization of pain
    I once relaxed a lady's hair and she said I wasn't doing it right because she didn't feel anything. So she didn't trust that I was doing it right, although the hair came out relaxed at the end.
    I treat my clients' hair the way I treat mine, I treat it with care. Everyone needs to know that it isn't everytime that pain births beauty. We really need to go easy on our hair for real.

    This was the first time in my life hearing someone address the issue of hair pain in the black community. It is common to be hit or told to shut up if you object to any pain suffered by a hairstyle or creation of such as a young child. It was COMPLETELY normalized and I wonder if that dismissal of pain subconsciously taught us as adults to ignore our pain receptors and bodies when it came to our cute but super tight styles!?

    I learned most of this working in a derm office as a MA. I’ve seen how kenalog injections help a lot and they don’t cost much as long as you have insurance. If you’re dermatologist thinks your hair loss can be internal they tend to check your iron levels, TSH and/ or testosterone levels. I tend to get traction alopecia after having a protective that’s not tight but the hair is long. Sometimes traction alopecia can happen when your hairstyle is heavy and basically pulling your hair slowly ie locs, twists or braids. I saw my mother lose her edges due to having locs for 10 years and same happened to her brother. Her decision was to cut them off and start over. Now her edges are thick and healthy.

    It affects your self esteem and outlook on life. I even remember seeing one of my cousins sometimes cry when we were kids because of these struggles with hair.
    I think treatment actually starts from the point your doctor acknowledges and truly understand your struggles. That makes a difference because the patient will be more receptive and trusting of your choices. The psychological factor is relevant

    I chose one and visited her. I am grateful. She has been a blessing. Her care for me, my hair and my scalp was very touching to me and refreshing. There was a thorough hair and scalp evaluation and consultation. She created a treatment plan and we tried it for three months (in conjunction with my hair stylist). My treatment plan created slow but steady results. I'm now in my second three-month session. Again, THANK YOU!

    When I was growing up, we would braid each other's hair before hair extensions became a thing, and not once was it so tight that we could not blink. lol, I don't know when we started hating our own hair and length no matter how short it was. We've gone so far from "natural" that the journey back is the result we are seeing today. We were not meant to have straight hair, blonde hair, or whatever else we are doing to our hair while damaging our scalp. Now that we've done all the damage we can do, we want someone to fix it. The best way to stop the damage is to not start in the first place. The hope is that we allow our little girls to just wear their hair naturally WITHOUT relaxing or putting weaves and hair extensions or braiding hair into their hair. We are a beautiful people and our hair is part of that beauty. We are not caucasian.

Her black mom has one blue eye and one brown. So it does happen.

    With that said, I have had countless issues with my hairline due to the constant wearing of the wig caps until an African hairdresser told me about the raw Shea butter...it has been a miracle. I use it twice per day on the affected area and my hair is finally growing back and the good thing is you see results with 3 to 4 weeks.

So when I saw these ladies, I was really happy to see it. The people who would clown me obviously were not educated professionals, so by saying what I originally commented in no way, shape, or form is it an implication that educated and eloquent black women are rarities.

    Very helpful. Thank you ladies for doing this and sharing this knowledge. My beautician and I are both to blame for my hair loss in the front of my head from overprocessing coloring. What I learned is that my hair will not show that it is taking to the lighting process. I was doing red highlights and my hair is dark brown. So she left it on longer than usual and I failed to tell her that it was burning more than I could stand. I still have hair, but what was already thin in the front is gone. So my hairline is way back toward the crown with some "bald" patches. I am heartbroken. It has been six months and the growth is slow in the front, but the rest of my hair is growing. We opted for a partial shave with short layers in the back and the front had the highlights and it was layered to cover my eyes. Megan Good wore this short bob-like style. Y'all pray for me.

      Im not sure if I’ll help, but the thing that helped my edges the most was leaving them alone and being patient. I did styles that didn’t involve styling my edges, so clippings for examples. I’ve also ensured I don’t have any deficiencies, such as vit d and low iron

      Mam I’m South African, in my opinion, West African women have some of the BEST natural remedies for hair growth and problems associated with it...perhaps give them a watch here on RUclips.
      Mind you, I am by no means shooting down on this lady(Seun and her guests),they are all doing a great job in their respective professions and I admire their willingness to help my sistaz out there.

    This was sooo helpful. I am relaxed, and stopped braiding my hair 3 years ago because it would cause my hair to break off badly! Thank God I listened to my hair. I will NEVER braid my hair again.

      Do you do any protective styling? I recently relaxed my hair and I have thinned edges. I'm trying to grow my hair without braids

    Cant wait! Stress is causing my hair to shed A LOT and I’ve lost most of my edges. Hoping for some good info.

      Extra virgin olive oil helped my edges to grow back. I’ve used it consistently every week as a Pete-poo/ conditioner on wash day. Before I shampoo and (regular) condition.

      @@espanolhablante2752 I’ve tried different oils. I’m back to Jamaican black castor oil and glueless wigs. I found out it’s postpartum shedding. So trying to avoid stressing it for now.
