- My Hair Loss Story | STOP doing this OR it will happen to YOU | Traction Alopecia
Traction alopecia is a form of hair loss in women caused by constant pressure being put on the hair follicle. *My Hair Loss Story | There's more than I told you: • I lied about my Hair L...
This can be unbelievably traumatic to experience and also to accept. What you didn't know is that it could be happening gradually, right in front of your eyes, because of something you are doing without you even noticing it.
You could get traction alopecia from clip in extensions, traction alopecia from wigs, traction alopecia from braids and/or traction alopecia from ponytails. There are SO many reasons why alopecia in women happen but almost no one gets down and dirty to talk about it.
This is my story.

Glam Girl Gabi Kk! I’ll check it out.
I have the same problem but I start using vitamin E capsules by rubbing it on the bald spots and so far by God grace it started to get better. but later this year I noticed it taking longer to regrow dont know why tho
I am wearing ponytail because my hair are so thin that cannot wear loose anymore .
I instantly got up to loosen my daughter's hair bun.
I have strong,long and thick hair. My hairfall journey started when i was in 12th grade. I tried many home remedies, eat medicine, It helped but not full. Then i pray to God and put my faith on him then , I saw my hair was growing it became thick, healthier and long. It was awesome. Thank you jesus 😊
Me too long strong gair in 7 grade i do pinytales but im not going to do it. Anymore
Amen 🙏
🙏🏾
I'm doing the same thank you!!!
Can you tell me what you tried please?🥺
Being in the military and having to wear a bun every day has caused this for me. Thank you for letting other people know about this!
My friend had this and there's a shampoo where if you use on your hair the shampoo on your dry hair on those spots ot will grow back. She also shampooed her hair with this shampoo. Hey wouldn't help to try it. The shampoo os a mexican shampoo you can only get this on real mexican market or pharmacy. Bergamota
Just don't do it tightly.
@@customera7945 Not quite how that works. Four years of putting your hair up causes that regardless, even with me using looser buns
4? Lol girl try 20 years… at least the regulations have updated and you don’t have any reason now to complain and have the ability to take care of yourself at least in this area
@@hanginfinryan4156 I mean your hair still needs to be up. Ponytail and bun same difference. Still pulling hair back
I suddenly removed my ponytail😂
Yeaa I too😆😆😆😅😅😁😁
Omg same
I did the same 😆
Sameee😭😭😭😭
Same
You are so strong for posting this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dora I agree she is so strong to tell this to the world and warning ⚠️ not wear to much tight ponies everyday
This gonna happen to Ariana Grande soon if she continues to wear her tight ponytail.
ariana wears a wig lol
Yes she does Oum
Gomat Barau arianna has got no hair at all she is bald
That's actually why she wears them, there is an article where she talks about it.
@Jack K Nah, she says it's from excessive dying but really it's from the brow bone / forehead reduction plastic surgery she got. They shave down the bone and have to lift the scalp up. Major hair loss occurs after the surgery. They staple the scalp in your hairline, so that it's hidden. But it can destroy some hair follicles in the process.
someone needs to tell Jojo Siwa about this
Ikr
Yeah her tight pony tail freaks me out 😂😂
I don’t care
I hate her😐😐
True even Ariana Grande
She actually started to let her hair down recently
Top tip everyone - You CAN grow it back!!!! I have been growing mine back. Stay positive!! It comes back slowly IF you treat it with care!!!
This may sound abit “out there” BUT I practice reiki and energy healing and I focus in that area. I also meditate on that area “experiencing it growing” in my mind until it feels real. I meditate daily and have great health. You CAN communicate with your body and achieve wonders... but it will take some effort!!! Don’t loose hope x
hey! i am a manifester too hehe, can u pls share what you visualised, and did u take vitamins etc?
i just shaved my head today because i’m starting over thanks for this message ❤️🥲
@@deborahoduro8660 omg girl I am about to shave my hair too right now. This whole mess is just so draining, I have been back and forth with doctors trying to figure out if its my hormones or if its PCOS and it turns out I was just an idiot who wore the tightest ponytail known to mankind for like 6 years straight and now I am paying for it. If you do see this comment, pls let me know how you felt after shaving it and if the hair grew back better etc.
Omg Im so happy to listen this 😢 my traction alopecia is so huge I hope practice reiki will help me
I was searching for your comment this is a sign do u have instagram I would love to talk with you
This happened to my daughter.. doctor prescribed Tacrolimus ointment 0.03% & this is working gradually… her hair is returning… don’t be confused 🫤 about the ointment being described for Eczema… this did grow back my daughter’s hair … speak to your doctor..👍🏻👍🏻
Prayers 🙏🏻 out to you going through this difficult time…
Does anyone else feel like letting your hair loose after watching this video?
When my mom always did my hair, she made a tight ponytail till it began to hurt. Since I make my own hair, I do rarely ponytails...

I can relate, my mom did that too ;-;
Glam Girl Gabi i actually cut a fringe then wore french plats for a month straight n 2 months of the same extensions n o have hair loss at my temples, will a doctor be able to tell me what’s best as it’s not extremely bad n it does look like it’s started to grow as i started having my hair down again. i actually only realised recently what traction alopecia is when i started to notice the hair loss
I seldom put my hair up because it gives me headaches. I guess that's a good thing now 🤷
ME TOO!
Yes
It gives a lot of stress on the nerves
Yeah same! Especially when I Dutsch braid my hair
That’s on the perks of being 💁🏻♀️✨tender headed✨
Girl. This video popped into my feed today. I took it as a sign. I’ve noticed my hairline getting thinner around the crown and sides for the past couple of years. I don’t wear very tight ponytails, however, I do put my hair up every night at bedtime into a loose bun and have been doing that almost every day during the pandemic. I need to stop this. So I asked my daughter to cut my long hair into a bob. We watched one of your blunt bob videos today and followed your steps. My daughter did a great job! No more putting my hair up anymore. I need to save what I’ve got! I’m now a new subscriber. Thanks, girl!! 😘
While I don't have this issue with my hair I wanted to say kudos to you for sharing your story.
Thank you! I appreciate the support :-)

Great video
Don't give up! They told me the same thing, but I massaged my scalp every day, drank diatomaceous earth, put castor oil on my scalp, and started taking collagen peptides every day, and it rejuvenated my follicles and my hair is growing back. It takes work, and no shampoo or conditioner is going to help it. Sometimes, dermatologists just don't know alternative treatments that work. I'll be happy to tell you just how to do it free of charge. I'll email you, and you can tell me if you want me to help you.
This is an eye opener. Thank you for doing this video!

@@GlamGirlGabi Bless you Gabriella! I watched the video and thank you so much for being so vulnerable. I believe you are helping so many women!
No girl, you don’t have to live with it. I had a bald spot on top of my head from a childhood injury. I recently started putting a homemade amla oil and I started massaging with castor oil and cinnamon on that spot and my hair follicles started to grow. Try it and see for yourself.
Really???

Hey guys! After this video gained so much traction, I started feeling pretty overwhelmed reading all of these incredible comments from women experiencing these things all over the world and also women feeling worried about their hairlines too. I knew deep down that there was more to the story than what I initially told you. I made a follow up video to expose my truth. Thanks for watching. I appreciate all of your support.
Ugh, my poor mum has the same issue from pulling her hair back for decades.
Sadly this happened to me. Ever since I was young, I would wear my ponytails really tightly. I never noticed a problem, until I started wearing side ponytails tightly. Since I had been wearing tight ponytails for (all my life, really.) I quickly started to notice that I was having a lot of hair loss at the side of my head. At this point it was too late. Because I was so scared of losing my hair, I let my hair down everyday from that day on.
...Thats my story.
Aww
•B e r r i ツ• same for me, sadly when going into a hair salon place to get my hair done, the girl also notice about my hair thinning out and told me to stop the braids and the ponytails, because she said I need to let my hair breathe and need to cut off on the rubber bands in the ponytail because I am already getting bald on my edges of my hair and it had gotten worser to the point I am really getting hair losses at the edge and everyone notices it, it’s getting bad everyday and don’t know what to do about it and I am just super anxious about it,, and because all I can do is put an ponytail on to look decent going out cus of my strict parents , but that’s also my story
@@lexushuff1625 I would recommend buying vitamins for your hair, and stop putting your hair up. After I saw the damage I started applying vitamins to the water I would spray into my hair. I also started letting my hair down everyday.
@@lexushuff1625 Have you tried eating eggs or boiled eggs at least 3x per day. Lack of vitamins and minerals, stress and not sleeping at least 8 hrs can cause this. I've noticed this happens to me when I don't eat nor sleep right.
@@NTYohan so u NEVER tie your hair up??
This happened to me years of pulling my hair back too tight and I think I’m fucked now I’ve tried everything. I’m trying to wear my hair curly and down and natural
You should try the aloe vera and arugula or rocket hair mask, also carrot hair mask they're soo good at growing your hair 💕
“Tropical isle “Jamaican black castor oil. Helps with hair growth
@@sirenaaasirenaaa1010 i just purchased that but how do i apply it, how often? thank you!
I had alopecia and the only thing that helped me was onion juice. I swear by it
or just shave all your hair off
Wow so crazy!!! Now you definitely made my mind up for not ever getting extensions
Thanks for watching babe. You can get extensions but you need to make sure that you are going to someone reputable, that you are getting them shifted into different locations in the scalp during the move up appointments and that not too much weight is placed on the same area for too long. Extensions won't do this to you if you use them properly. I just misused them for too many years. The tight high ponytails did a lot of damage too.

My hair was mysteriously thinning a little over a year ago, even my eyebrows. I started changing my hair products to more natural ingredients, but I did a lot of research and finally tried Castor seed oil. This really helped creat new hair growth. I'm really sorry that you experienced so much hair thinning through your preferred hair style. It might be worth a try using the oil just to see if it works for you. It might even make a great RUclips video if you tried it for maybe a month and posted pictures. I'm actually very curious how other people's scalp or hair respond to this oil. Thank you for your video beauty tip.
@@vicc19 ok yu cannot use castor oil alone add it to other oils best coconut oil hoped I helped yu ask whatever yu want
I thin it way out with jojoba oil and even add some few drops of tamanu oil ;) hope this helps ~
Lord I’ll try it over 4months my hair has drastically lost half of my hair! And I wear the a high ponytail every single day now I only wear it in a ponytail only once a week and wear it in a really low ponytail now I am super worried because I am young and now everyone notices it anyone that has tips pls comment on the comment
I switched from box hair dyes to natural hair dyes like henna. Cassia (the herb) does not color the hair. I found out part of my hair loss was due to allergies in oxidative hair dyes. It was making my scalp inflamed which cause my hair to thin out.
Edit: Amla oil is also good for hair growth.
Thinning hair and eyebrows can be a sign of underactive thyroid. My hair went back to normal after I started on medication
I'm going to share this with a friend!
keepupwithliv please do! Happy if this video can help someone or at least normalize it for them ❤️

When I was in the 4th-6th grade, I used to wear very tight high ponytails EVERYDAY. Keep in mind that I have stick straight hair, making my hair naturally a little thin, not very, but a little. Halfway through 6th grade, I realised what was happening to my hair. It started to get thinner, and that was when I realised I needed to do something about it. First things first, I stopped combing my hair when it was wet. Then, I got it cut short to the point where it was halfway down my neck. I took great care of it, I tried to incorporate proteins and vitamins into my diet and started to massage my hair every night for 10 minutes. I put oils in my hair overnight and washed it the next day ONCE A WEEK. After half a year or so, when my hair grew a bit, I realised that my hair had gotten thicker and my ‘bald spots’ got covered up. Nowadays, 2 years later, I seldom tie my hair up, even if I do, I tie it loosely. I tie my hair in a loose braid and loose low ponytails.
The ends don't get roughed up from brushing on your top?
I do nothing damaging to my hair and it falls like there's no tomorrow. I have a receeding hairline, I need to visit the docs. The way you're holding your hair up in the thumbnail makes you look edgy, I'm digging that look 🤩
Apply aleo vera gel..from the plant itself..go natural don't use products.apply it on scalp n hair .leave it for an hour n wash off.thrice a week ..u wil see the results..
Hi, Get a blood test for iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin d. you may have a vitamin deficiency.
This is a very important video. I had the same problem all of sudden. My hair dresser didn’t even tell me after a haircut. I freaked out when I discovered one day.. I never had extensions, but I do wear it in pony tails all the time. The dermatologist told me that I have the genetic predisposition. I think stress could trigger it.
Lisa is your alopecia on the sides caused from tension or is it dispersed around your head? Genetic alopecia is a huge issue in women too. I’m going to be doing a review on some laser therapy so hang out and maybe you can try that to help you too.
This was happening to me as well when I was using too much of hair extensions.. until
I started to itch on a particular spot on my scalp and it was a itch burning and when I saw it was a bold spot !! I stopped using the extensions ASAP .. applied aloe vera gel and it started to grow back !!! now my hair is thickening thanks to natural aloe Vera !!
Joselyne Cortez, How do use Aloe vera? And in how long have seen results? Thanks!
@@galinashkarin5797 I too wanna know that
You are the first person that has the exact same problem as me that I’ve seen in RUclips I wish I knew this like 10 yrs ago😭
Oh man. I thought I was the only one. Didn't know this was a condition. I loved the sleek, pulled-back ponytail since way before it was even trendy, back when I was in elementary school and it was the only style that suited me. Gave me an instant eye and brow lift. As I got older, I started pulling back all my hair in an extremely tight top knot since I started getting insecure about my hair, doing even worse than what you did. It sometimes even gave me headaches and now I look back and wonder why I made myself go through that. This was not only affecting my scalp, but it was also making my ends straw-like. I kept ignoring what it did to my hairline and now it resembles a bald man's.. I stopped this altogether when a hairstylist I recently went to pointed out how destructive this habit really was, and that we should just let our hair BREATHE. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
I literally could have written this exact comment myself. I also felt like it was the only style that suited me and also the way I felt the prettiest. To this day, I still feel the prettiest when my hair is in a super sleek ponytail. I’m sorry you’re going through that too. I have more to the story that I felt too insecure to share so there is an update video coming out this Monday morning. Stay tuned for that. Traction alopecia was definitely the cause but it was also connected to a lot of other things. Thank you so much for watching and for supporting the channel. It really means a lot to me. I had a consultation for a hair transplant and I’ll make a video about that experience as well so if you’re curious you can stick around and watch how that goes. ❤️

I bought that item before watching this and it is excellent -- easy to apply and it stays where it's applied. CVS carries it.
I cut my hair short for the soul fact that when it was long I couldn't stand having it loose and always had it in a tight ponytail. My hair is much healthier and more manageable now.
You seem like a very lovely beautiful lady ! Im sorry that this happened to you , thank you so much for sharing your story it really was helpful.
All the love to you .
Thank you so much! What a sweet and uplifting message to read today. Thanks for supporting my channel and watching :)
Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable about this! It's going to provide comfort to so many ❤️
You said that the follicle was coming out with the hair bud - could you see that? Sometimes I have hair that falls out with a little white bulb on the end and I wonder if that's a bad sign!
I could definitely see the tiny white bulbs at the end of the hair as it was starting to happen and throughout the entire experience of it happening (several years). I don't know for sure if the follicle comes out normally at times but I would consider talking to a dermatologist about it if it is happening often because I waited too long and it became way too late to do anything about it.
The white bulb is normal on shed hair.
My experience when I started taking diatamascious earth daily my receding hairline grew back & it strengthened my nails,where nothing else ever helped.
I work in the OR with repetitive up-dos and lots of hairline pressure. Thanks for sharing your story, it is a great reminder to watch the gradual changes ❤
This is so true. You don’t fully notice it. I used to wear a super tight pony in high school and I’d wear it on the left side so the top right part of my head has sort of a bald stuff :/
I don't believe it is from the ponytail. It make more sense to me that it is the result from extensions use. God bless you.
Omg I love ponytail it's been years and nowadays I'm losing hair.
Thanks for the video. 🥰
All you mention but more ... Hair dye, hihlights, sprays, brushing, ... + What you eat and drink etc etc ...i
I agree with most except for brushing. Gently brushing is great for stimulating your sculp, but only use natural bristle brushes. Most shop bought brushed are made of plastic which caused static and weakens your hair
@@margyb7469
Yes brush your hair is fine i mean blow dry ( brushing in French sorry ), Heat is one of the most prominent reasons why your hair might be falling out. So for someone with this already bad hair condition, She need to wash her hair just 1/ week, stop blow dry, stop hair dye, stop taking birth pill control also, take zinc supplement , vitD3 and K2 because vitD diffecency not help to recover! (Check Dr Berg vídeos), massage the scalp with jojoba bio oil! Sleep and relax! After few months of this routine, colour hair with henna ( organic henna ) check Khadi brand really good brand!!

thanks for sharing! I've never had extensions, but I hear you regarding the pulled back hair (cue Jlo sleek pony/bun/top knot vibe). I did this a lot in early 2000's and beyond too. I still do this to my hair often because it's easy and fast, although I shouldn't! My hair is so fine and it breaks easily.
It's okay to do it as long as you don't position the ponytail or bun in the exact same area of your head over and over again and make it SUPER SUPER tight. Just adjust the placement of the up do so its low, mid and high and loosen the edges up a bit. Fine hair girls UNITE!

Thank you for this share! I’m late to the game, but grateful to see someone of your age and beauty honestly speaking on this unfortunate condition. Your thumbnail grabbed my attention b/c that’s exactly my trouble spot that I inexplicably didn’t see until too late. I wore mine up for even more years. As a Natural Health Advocate/Educator, I’m not willing to accept a dermatologist’s call on “nothing can be done”, because pure essential oils ( plant power being designed and intended medicine IMO) have the ability to bypass the blood brain barrier, unlike any Rx, and very often produce seemingly miraculous results when Western trained Drs say No. Keep you posted!
Firstly, thank you so much for sharing this video! I only started putting my hair up like that for a year and started seeing the same pattern of hair loss. I know you mentioned your follicles are too far damaged, but I felt compelled to share this with you too because you've helped so many. I highly recommend Dr Joe Dispenza's book Breaking the habit of being yourself and his meditations, I understand some things are scientifically proven and as you said it is damaged. However our bodies are amazing and work with what our subconscious believes. 'Positive affirmations' aren't enough, it's with elevated emotions and pretending (eg) your hair grew back as if the experience already happened. Your mind doesn't know the difference between reality or thought. I hope this helps and you'll give this a try, I know it sounds a bit airy fairy but there are a lot of studies on this and many people reversed hard health conditions because of this. Thank you so much again for this video. xx
Oh thats true??
will try!
thank you!
As a 23yo-male who has been growing his hair for 2 years, i noticed that my scalp hurts when i bind my hair too tightly. For this reason i can lose my hair. I asked many women. No one told anything. No one knows anything about tractionel alopecia. Whereupon I started to observe people's hair lines. I saw that men have a "M" shaped hair line because of androgenic alopecia naturally. And i saw that women have ragged hair lines. Most of women don't realize that their foreheads are being opened. Even so they think this is a variant. So I decided to give up the ponytails however even so i was uncomfortable with my unbinded hair because the hair that are in temporal area and close my forehead kept sagging to front of my face while I was working. It was annoying. I am still using hair clips(or instead, i wear bonnet) but I bind my hair loosely and I don't bind the hair that are close to my neck and close to my forehead together anymore.
Thank you for posting this and being real about the realities of hair loss
For years, I was using wigs and weaves as a crutch cause I didn’t want to deal with my naturally curly hair and got use to the ease of weaves. I’ve decided to embrace my natural hair as a mixed Black Woman. Thank you so much for sharing the reality of the dark side of extensions ♥️🥰
Natasha Aveda I hate that this happened to you too! It happens to SO MANY people and it sucks so much. We need to shed the stigma and be real about it so people don’t feel as bad who are going through it but also to warn people who may be getting there but aren’t there yet. I love that you’re embracing your hair and beautiful curls girl!! Yaaaaasss!
Fortunately, I didn’t suffer from permanent hair loss, but I have seen some women lose their hair from stress on their hair
Since I stopped wearing weaves and wigs as well as extensions, my hair has thrived with no balding or thinning, I stopped wearing the weaves for this reason
And I’m glad that I did, thankful to God that I started wearing my own hair and it’s thick and healthy
I’ll never wear a weave or extensions ever again

For those using hair/scalp powders, please keep an eye if the hair loss gets worse. My Mom used hair powder for years, and she gradually lost more and more. She quit 6 months ago and thankfully has regrowth.
Wow. I never knew About this... thanks for this authentic video!!!! Crazy how much over time this can kill your hair follicles!!!😬😳
Hey girl! Yes it's shocking how much damage you can do to your own hair when you do things repeatedly over several years. It's important to keep checking that things are okay with your scalp - ESPECIALLY with fine hair like mine. Thank you for watching and supporting the channel ;-)

I’m addicted to ponytails too. I inevitably put one in midday even if my intentions were to wear my hair down all day. Now that I’m almost 50, I’m losing hair all over the front and sides right too. It’s so thin, I can’t stand it. I need this product!
May your hair grow in peace beauty 💖 I stopped coloring, bleaching, straightening and blow drying I do a onion shampoo wash every other day, i leave a conditioning and started taking vitamins there is hope 💖
Yeah I important to leave it alone! I’ve actually very low maintenance when it comes to color but heat styling is my life as a hairstylist. My hair is too puffy and crazy to not heat style. I don’t think any clients would trust me if I walked in with my fuzzy fro. Lol.

Thank you so much for telling this, while watching this video I just realised that because of my high pony my hair has been thinning and I didnt notice. I'm really glad you posted this.
I’m so happy that you found it helpful. I have a video coming out on Monday with more to the story so stay tuned for that. There were some things I didn’t go through in this video that I think is important for me to be honest about.

this is the first time someone warns us in an youtube video saying it might happen to u too so stop doing it...thanks a lot
I try to change my hairstyle everyday and wear it natural for this very reason! I also had baldness but I started to take iodine and use black seed oil, which have helped my hair to grow back A LOT. Maybe these tips could also help someone else in need. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing your story with us.
Kaha milega black seed oil and baldness dir ho jayegi kya
what type of iodine?
I looked up fine/thin hair this morning and found your channel. What a beautiful, amazing and sharing person you are. I am getting so much good information and new ideas. You have totally proven that you don't have to have Farrah Fawcett hair to be gorgeous. One positive thing about having thin/fine hair is that it dries so quickly.
Thank you so much for this video... I won't tie my hair tight anymore... May Allah bless you
You're welcome 😊
There’s more to the story than I initially felt comfortable sharing. After reading all of these amazing comments, I decided to put it all out there. If you want to see the updated video, you can find it here:

Cut a green bell peper to pieces (u can add onion with the skin but cleaned as well as garlic !!) and put them in a hot but NOT burned olive oil leave it to cool down and put in a jar for 3 days and then take the pepper(everything u put in the oil ) and use the oil to massage the scalp amd leave it on for 2hours. Do it every three days and be patient it's a really famous recipe for thining hair.
And for the bald spots take garden cress seeds soak in water 1:2 ratio put them in a jar throw it in the fridge for 3days and start using the water on your scalp literally everyday (take the amount you need for your whole scalp and close the lid very well).
You could see results from the first month but don't loose patience.
I wore clip in extensions everyday for almost 10 years. I have bald spots behind my ears 😭 thanks for making this video. I wish I would’ve realized earlier.
It's something that people really need to know about and no one talks about it! It's a totally preventable form of alopecia and yet I made it happen to myself and it got super bad as you can see in this video. Thanks for watching and supporting babe!

I was aware of this condition but I have never thought this could be so common among women. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your story! My sister has traditional alopecia. It's been hard and it's important to get the story out on ways to prevent.
Yes there are many forms of alopecia. Alopecia areata, alopecia universalis, traction alopecia, etc. They all come with their share of issues and challenges but we just have to embrace what we're given, try our best to prevent it and move on from there. Thanks for watching Lisa.
@@GlamGirlGabi can you please recommend me a good shampoo please

I am 16 and I have this! It’s so sad because I love my curly hair🥺
When i was 6 years old my mom used to make i tight ponytail when i'm going to school and i'm on the car i take it off cause it truly so tight
I’m a nurse. I have to have my hair pulled back. This exact same thing happened to me at the top of my head! Now I know what it’s called.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing Gabi! I've gone through three rounds of hormonal hair loss over the last few years and though it's not the same thing as permanent loss, it was been a journey in of itself! Glad you found a product that works for you. I suppose the only medical solution at this point would technically be a hair transplant??
I didn't know that you went through that Ema. That seems tough too! What was your experience like with that? Yes the dermatologist said that would be the only solution and I don't have the money for that. I don't care enough to save that long to afford such an invasive procedure. I would rather get boobs. HAHAHAHA. Truth.

I’m trying to correct the sides of my head hair loss/thinning due to how I had to wear my hair in the Military the past 20 years. I’m thankful for you videos ❤️🔥
Omg I’m scared I always put in a top knot cause I have so much hair. Ok I’m done thanks for the tip. 💕
As long as it's not SUPER tight you should be fine. If your head is throbbing at the end of the day and it hurts to put your hair down, it's too tight.

Thanks so much for sharing your story. This happened to me years ago by wearing tight ponytails over the years. Wished I had realised it sooner. No more ponytails for me.
This is exactly wat happened to me on both sides of the head. Literally a big gap on my head with no hair. A hairdresser told me about it.
hey did u manage to regrow the hair after changing habits?
@@melissa_L definitely
@@anamikatoppo9667 im so sad, i noticed the last month the hair thinning on the sides and when im sweaty you see so much scalp when my hairs tied up, i thought it was cuz my highlites were growing out so created this illusion, but now its thinnnnnn , im trying to figure out why. only on the sides of my head and equally thinning on left and right side.... i dont kow what to do :( for 7 months im not working and my hairs mostly up more than ever before.... plus diet isnt great ..i stopped tying my hair back , started taking vitamins and vegan collagen....
@@melissa_L don't worry the hair will grow back again. Just stop using any chemical based products and use more natural ones. Keep oiling your hair time to time with virgin coconut oil. It's best for the hair growth n thickness.
Omg this happen to me I have hair thinning for the same reason, wearing my hair in tight ponytails. It’s so embarrassing. I would love to try this product because it shows even when I wear my hair down. Thank you for the tips.
I had alopecia and onion juice is the way to go, used it and my hair grew really well
Did you have traction alopecia?
No it was not because of a certain hairstyle or chemical damage. I just started noticing bald patches the patches were completely bald but I do know of someone that used onion juice for traction alopecia and their hair thickened on the sides a lot, it's really good
Too bad is smells so bad 😔 No matter how well you rinse, as soon as you sweat in the gym, YUCK!!🤭
I’m mad that I’ve done absolutely nothing to my hair and this is happening to me
mee too
@@palestar828 i didn't have covid. And my hairline has been super weak since i was a teenager, now 32
Thank you for posting this video, I am sure that it will benefit someone, luv you attuitude! ❤️❤️💖
Thank you for your sharing, it means a lot to us who don’t know that such things will happen to us if we tie our hair super tight all the time
My daughter is in the marines and they have to be in slick buns she loosing her hair also
Massage jamaican black castor oil every week on the edges, start now than later😵
I get that it's the military they want you to look prim and proper but dang can they not find some less damaging clean styles
Honestly. It just needs to be neat, clean and professional looking. There's no where in the regulations where it says it needs to be tight to the head and etc. She just needs to wear it neatly. Having fly aways doesn't make it look unprofessional.
Hope that helps.
She could use some product to keep her hair looking like it's really tight without the need to pull it so much.
@Miss DaniOkay and I still presently serve in the Marine Corps. It's advice, if you want to have a hairline back to your ears then go ahead and rake your hair back in a super tight bun. I have hair down to my ass and I have been serving in the Marine corps since 2012. I think I just might know what I'm talking about when it comes to the hair regulations in the Marine Corps. Fly aways don't make you look unprofessional. Use nice hair gel and sulfate free hairspray and don't rip your hair out. If you are one of those people who can wear short hair, awesome. Some people just don't want that or it just doesn't compliment their face shape. I was personally not one of those people.
I get where you're coming from but stop leading this women astray. Having fly aways doesn't take away from your work performance or the uniform. As long as you look professional and your bun isnt falling out, it's really not that big of a deal. Just make sure it looks nice when you have check ins or formal events.
so sorry, this happened to you using extensions. When i was younger i tried almost ALL hair extensions, the worst were the sewn-ins. I also bleached my hair, burnt it to the point of damage. After my experiences I promised my Mom i would never, ever do such things again to myself. Because it does affect the natural growing cycle of the hair. Thank God, nowadays, i don't put any dyes anymore.
The answer to your problem lies in doing deep daily meditation. Seriously the human mind is unbelievably powerful. Build a practice of doing meditation and focus/think about your hair re-growing, over time there's a good chance it will happen 🙌🏽
is that same as manifestation? thanks for sharing.
Is it law of attraction or something like that..??
Yes! Law of assumption. It’s real!
@@tresapaul4530 law of assumption. Affirm for what you want.
I just add your site to my favorites. It takes a strong woman to express the outline issues young woman deal with. I appreciate all your tips. GABBY YOU ROCK,,❤
Wow. Thanks for sharing your story. This must have been hard for you. I can't imagine!
Thanks so much for your support. It means the world to me. Yeah this wasn't an easy one to set to live that morning... But it's so important for me to be open and honest when it comes to beauty because there is such a misconception with social media now of unrealistic perfection. I'm not about that for a second. We all have our things. We all struggle in our own way and this is my story :-)

Kudos to you for sharing your story and helping people who might have the same issue. Gray hair is beautiful too...no reason to fear it or shame it.
Thank you so much for watching and for your message. You know what - you're absolutely right. There is NO reason to fear or shame grey hair. I think as women in society, we have way too much fear of aging. I actually regretted saying that after I edited the video because I'm all about inclusive beauty and acceptance of all people. Thanks for the friendly reminder.
I've been feeling insecure lately about my hairline bc I finally accepted that it is receeding. I kept on telling to myself that it isn't since my hairline has always looked that way but when I see old pics of myself with my hair up compare to now, my scalp around my hairline is so much more visible nowadays. I never liked ponytails but I had to wear it up for 13 years due to school rules. Also, my hair's frizzy so I had to put hair gel, comb it until it's smooth and use hair pins to make it neat. I wish I didn't do all of that before. I wish someone warned me then. I know there are worse out there but I just hope that it isn't too late for me to fix this.
I'm too I'm 17
Wow! this is my exact story thank you so much for sharing. I've done the big chop now to try and fix it but your video is so encouraging as I too have learnt to accept it
Thank you and you may try microneedling with hair growth serum just a suggestion 💋
I don't think I ever came through any video creater who was so honest like you. You are amazing. Keep up the honesty with positivity. Lots of love ❤️
Thank you so much! Your message made my day :-) I appreciate your support.
Oh my goodness, I’ve totally considered extensions lately because my hair is thinning a little since I stopped having kids. Now I’m convinced I need to try the natural shampoo my friend keeps pitching me that helps with hair health!
Working on the scalp of your health is first and foremost when it comes to beautiful full hair. Extensions will work well if you have a great stylist, maintain and care for them properly and take breaks but it is important to know that you can go down a slippery slope without even realizing it's happening until it is too late. Thanks for watching and supporting friend.

my mom used to do my hair for many years and she'd always put my hair in a very tight ponytail. I never liked them. It always hurt and I don't like how I look like in a ponytail. She believed that tight ponytails are good for my hair and that it will keep my hair healthy. Nowadays I always keep my hair down and my mother says that that's the reason why my hair is so thin and "unhealthy"
Oh goodness she is very very very very wrong. Tight ponytails, if done regularly, with absolutely lead to traction alopecia ESPECIALLY if your hair is fine.
I have the same issue. I can’t fix it. So I’ve found ways to deal with it and accept what I’ve done to myself😞 thank you for being vulnerable it made me feel not alone
You got this. You are certainly not alone. It's a tough pill to swallow but just a reality we have to deal with. I"m making some follow up videos about how I cover up my alopecia so stay tuned for that. I also just posted a video about wigs and alopecia.

I did extensions and weaves too. I spent the last three years suffering until I stopped and started taking hair supplements. OMG, I've got my 20s hair back! I'm so sorry you had to experience that. It's horrible. Is that powder drying? I'm your bleach blonde friend here.
Which supplements do you take?
I used castor oil to grow my edges back.
Does it work?
Yea did it work
I started to loose a lot of hair after pregnancy and used castor oil too. It does work!
You put it on the roots of you hair??
Nothing works for me😭
You’re very brave for showing us. Thank you, not doing the tight ponytail anymore!! X
I wear my hair down, but every couple of years, I also alternate the side that I part it on. It's so much fuller now.
Edit: I also developed an allergy to oxidative hair dyes (the ones you mix with a developer, even at professional salons). My hair started growing back once I quit using those. They were causing inflammation in my scalp.
This is helpful .. I found that applying Hair Moisturizing Factors + HA (The Ordinary) at the temples really helped the hair grow back, but I have been wondering why the hair follicles are so weak. What is bothering them? Then I found that washing infrequently (5 days) also made my hair thicker. Maybe some of us are just sensitive.
Wow I'm sorry you have to go through that and this has helped me realize that maybe that's why my hair in spots is falling out and I just started shaving the bottom half of my head to hide it
Thank you for sharing such a personal experience and your journey. We all know hair is a big deal to us and how it has a huge influence on how we feel about ourselves. I’m happy you found something that works to give you the freedom to wear your hair in a variety of ways💞
Thanks Tracie! Do you have Alopecia too? It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster but I just make the best of it. There isn't much I can do about it so I just go with it. Thanks for watching :-)
Glam Girl Gabi I don’t have alopecia but I’ve know ladies who do as well as those who have lost hair from cancer treatments. Hair is such a huge part of how we feel about ourselves and the loss of it regardless of how is devastating emotionally. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability❤️

cure...
Shit! it's happening with me too, as a Nursing student I always wear tight topknot, now my hairline is receding and thinning also ☹️
Loosen it up right away because it’s a slippery slope and just gets worst and worst and worst! I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon next week for hair restoration so I’ll keep you all posted on that soon.

@@GlamGirlGabi can you tell when it's too tight?
Try to wear braids and not tight braids
Another cause of traction alopecia is when those of us with sunglasses and eyeglasses keep getting our hair caught in the hinges! Too often, the hairs get caught and pulled out before we even have a chance to free them. For me, it’s starting to look like I have a receding hairline! I guess it’s happened whenever I’ve had long bangs, but I used to have so much hair it wasn’t noticeable. Then I hit my 60s!
Hi Gabi! I absolutely love your channel. I suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia since I was 14 years old. I actually have started a space sharing my experience and offering support for women who are suffering from the same problem... I feel there is not enough support out there for us.
I would love it if you can have a look at it and let me know what you think?
Thank you so much for all your awesome videos and for speaking out!
Cici 💜💜💜
Hey Cici!
Thank you for stopping by and for supporting the channel! Alopecia is so difficult for women and it is NOT talked about enough at all. There is so much stigma for women who lose their hair and I am happy to shine a light on how incredibly common it actually is. I'm sorry that you are suffering from androgentic alopecia. We can absolutely support each other on this platform. Sending you a hug!
Thank you gab I’ve learned so much from you because I wear my hair up everyday. I won’t be doing it anymore. I’m a new comer to your channel and I always learn something when I watch you. I won’t miss a video of yours ever. 🥰🇨🇦
You are so welcome! Thanks for subscribing, it really means a lot to me.
Tight individual box braids are not for people with hair types like yours, being 1c-2c. It typically damages your hair follicles because it's so tight.
Yeah you’re totally right. It’s so gorgeous and I love how it looks but my hair can’t handle the weight.
Not only is this not true, but it shows were your unfounded biases lay. Any one can wear any hair style. Period. However , no one should wear tight hairstyles. All tight hairstyles worn often cause hairloss, regardless of type. Point, blank, period. Next you'll be spewig idiotic nonsense about how hard it is for "some" people to grow their hair. Its also sad that others agree with your behind.
GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you for showing us this, my hair has started to drop off, I also pull my hair very tight in the front. Will STOP this immediately. This probably is the cause. ✨🙏❣️
This happened to me too, now I wear my hair down constantly
Yeah it’s brutal. Happens to a ton of people!
