I was experiencing hair loss from January 23 to April to the point where my tub was clogged. Went to see a dermatologist & was given injection & minoxidil. No change. Never told me to get blood work done. Thanks to videos like this I went to my doctor & had blood work done. My ferritin level was at 30. My doctor told me it was normal. I did some research & was told ferritin levels should be between 50 -70 for optimal growth. Ordered iron supplements. And today my sides & middle are growing. It's so important to do research & obtain the right information.
Yes! It may be “normal” but normal isn’t optimal for hair growth. So glad you continued to do your research. And even happier that you are well on your way to full hair restoration 🙌🏾
Oh Karen! I really LOVED this video! I just got my big chop not too long ago, and some people at work tell me my hair has grown a little. Even at the bank the tellers said the same thing! Lol. I just see a small difference, but I do brush it every night, masssge my scalp in the morning, and I keep it moisturized. I've started going to the salon weekly now, because with a twa, it gets dirty faster due to product build up. Last year before my big chop, a friend took me to the doctor because I was always dizzy and my hair had stopped growing. I found out I was very low in vitamin D! So far my levels are good now, but they drop so easily. And I'm beginning to LIKE my 4B/4C hair! Some hairdressers even tell me that I have good curl definition 😊 I'm looking forward to part two of the video. I wish I could meet you in person! Lol Love ya! ♥️♥️♥️
Yes! I did a video series out of hard water. The picture that I showed in this video where my hair grew in 3 months, I had just cut several inches because of HARD WATER DAMAGE so you are so right! I am going to do a part 2 video and discuss the damaging effects of hard water. Thanks for the tip!
Hi Karen. I’m sure po’ folks like myself will figure out an innovative solution for hard water. Hair like my 4c(def) tends to need extra, extra care..I use old school sulfur 8. Half of the product I put in an empty sulfur 8 container and mix with water. It is amazing. The other half I divide in two parts. One part I leave as the original product. The other part I mix with JBC. The half mixed with water I use on my hair as a moisturizer and sealant. The original, on my scalp when needed. And the S8 w/ jcb I use to stimulate the crown and other thin areas. I have hard water as well. But this method with daily moisturizing (and supplements and fresh rosemary) is working so far for me. Struggle w scarves. They come off. No bonnet yet; but thanks for your videos. Your hair is gorgeous, easier to manage, and obviously not 4C. ❤
@@margarettaylor6857 yes! I’m going to do another video next week that gives specific instructions on the use of green tea. But yes! You rinse it out. You can put it on a spray bottle and spray it directly to the scalp - massage it in … and rinse
Your video caught my eyes. I like the way you break down and explain the information about hair growth. Since I heard this video, I will keep a regular routine for my hair care, something I have not been doing. I love how you enhance your grey strands without dying it. Your natural hair is beautiful. Thank you for these hair tips. Especially exercise. I’m going to fit it in my schedule a few days a week. I’m looking forward to the next five hair tips.
I love this video! Your information is always so useful! I also love your hair, it’s so beautiful! ❤. I very RECENTLY installed micro locs and still use your information to help me grow a head of healthy hair. Love your channel, thank you!
Yay! Micro locks are gorgeous! I had sisterlocks for a year and loved them. I plan to add some videos specific to locks in the upcoming months. They are coming! Thanks for your support! I appreciate!
Just stumbled across your channel. Even though I’ve researched much of todays info, I still love to hear from a specialist and it’s a bonus when you present the info clear and concise and a triple bonus, with a soothing yet upbeat voice. I have medical issues that affect my diet. I take supplements and all but I don’t have a proper regimen and I see that that’s worse than anything towards hair growth. I start well but fatigue and laziness creep in and routines are skipped or not completed and that is my downfall for retention and optimal hair growth. But I will keep trying to focus. But just wanted to say thanks for wonderful videos. ❤
Hello there! Your medical issues may set you back a bit but keep moving forward. One day at a time! I know its easier for me to share tips as a cosmetologist because I can do all of these things with my eyes closed, but creating my new lifestyle of holistic health is something that I have to remind myself to take it one day at a time. Sometimes we need a little motivation. I am launching my first online class in about a month or so that will be geared toward health and hair growth / hair care. If you want more information, join my waitlist mailchi.mp/341fe6320a7b/health-hairness-program And stay encouraged! Every new day is an opportunity to start again. 🥰

Welcome to the Curl House Community! I have several videos on hair loss. Here is one ruclips.net/video/yXD0NcWdEEQ/видео.html But are you getting help for your hair loss?
Dear Karen thank-you so very much for making these important essential videos of haircare. I started losing my hair last March 2022. And in March 2023 I had to cut it short because it kept coming out more and more everyday. Now since I saw your video about ferritin m. I will talk to my doctor about what you discussed in your video. You donot know how you have helped me. God Bless You Karen. Thank-You Again. ♥️🙏LOVE Mrs. Sandra E. Pittman-Chicago, IL.♥️🙏
Thank you so much Ms Sandra! I appreciate it and the encouragement! Yes. Talk to your doctor! Remember, you want your blood work to be optimal -- not 'in range'.
There is an exogen phase as well. Also certain products and medications and hormonal imbalance/depletion can cause excessive shedding and can impede in the hair growth cycle. Hair grows faster in warmer months than colder months because of increase of blood circulation.
Hey! Oh yes I’m aware. I just tend to the lump telogen and exogen together lol 😝 It’s funny how our training didn’t discuss exogen phase (20 years ago that is)… but now telogen and exogen are separated
@@KarenofCurlHouse Yes, you are welcome. I too had struggled w iron deficiency and I came across that information w a nutritional channel. If you are not into carrots try the shredded carrots on your salad n roasted veggies if you want that helps in a small way to baby step it.😉🤗🙌😇☺️🤩😎
Hi Karen. I love your channel and the way you explain things!! Thank you so much!! I had a full hysterectomy about 21 years ago, and my edges and hairline have been eroding since. The hair in the top of my head is also very thin, as well. It's nice and thick in the back. I have tried lots of things to turn this around, including infrared light. Any help would be most appreciated!!
WOWOWOWOW! What an eye-opener this was! I have inputted this information into my phone. I have heard a lot of suggestions that worked for other people, but NEVER the things that you suggested. This was INVALUABLE!!! Thank you so much!!!
@@KarenofCurlHouse lol I barely see natural hair. That's why I'm single so much. When I see a natural hair slim woman that's the only time I feel like being in a relationship.
Hello there! I typically get my oils from bramble berry. www.brambleberry.com And the scalp massager is from Amazon. Here's a link -- mailchi.mp/341fe6320a7b/health-hairness-program
Hello! I don't really consider twist and braid out protective styles as most of the hair is out or exposed to the ends, the ends are necessarily tucked away and they require some type of manipulation for maintenance. But they are GREAT on the edges. Unlike many protective styles, you do run the risk of tension or traction on the edges. I did a few videos on it. ruclips.net/video/0Yq5-jJNk4Q/видео.html ruclips.net/user/shortsr16ip_HWQy4
Thank you I have telogen effluvium dermatologist recommended minoxidil and the itching was to much for me ,so I will get the rosemary oil with a carrier oil ,
I love your videos! It is so hard to find really good content dealing with naturally graying curly hair. Can you please tell me the brand of Rosemary oil that you are using in this video? I have been going cross-eyed trying to decipher what the label says between the light colored lettering and glare from the screen. 🧐Thanks in advance!
Hi there. I just visited your website and I must say I love love your logo,it's clever and perfect. Greetings and love from a fellow natural in Zimbabwe!
Thank you very much for this valuable information on faster hair growth. This is so helpful. You are inspiring me to take better care of my hair. I will check out your hair products.
Does genetic have anything to do with hair growth? I also have crown thining & traction alopecia on one side if my edges 😘✌️thanks for this helpful info
Hi Karen I love your channel it is informative and enjoyable. I am now on the right path to having healthier hair. I wondered if rosemary oil and green tea will discolour grey hair ? Love and blessings from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤🎉
Hey there Sparkleangel! And welcome to the Curl House Community! You can certainly use rosemary as it is relatively clear. Green tea, when steeped, is a pale yellow is should be ok as many of the pale yellow oils I use are ok on the hair BUT I am planning to do a video next week where I will actually dip grey hair in oils to confirm they don't discolor -- I will go ahead and add green tea to my little experiment. Stay tuned!
@@KarenofCurlHouse Hi Karen thank you so much for the information it is very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to your next video. Blessings and love from the 🇬🇧 ❤
Hello Karen. I'm new to your channel. I'm in my 40s and I have noticed that my hair texture has changed. My hair was a mix of 3c and 4a with a loose z pattern. I have been natural for 3 years since my most recent big chop and my hair has regrown with a tighter curl 4a and 4b. I'm at a loss as to why the change occurred. As soon as I detangle my hair it shrinks back up, this did not occur before. I would appreciate some insight from you. Thanks.
Hi Liza! Welcome to the Curl House Community! Hair texture changes in the 40s is not uncommon -- my texture changed due to graying (in my 40s), but typically when there are changes in the hormones (menopause or perimenopause) that may accompany changes in texture as well. I've witnessed these hair textures challenges from my clients and ew of my close family members. Also, iron deficiency or cause the hair to feel brittle or dry but not necessary change to the texture but makes it more prone to breakage.
AWESOME INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Several of these hours familiar with however you added some extra. And thank you for the bonuses. 🎉🙌🏽😍 I saved this video and definitely going to share it, "'Pretty Lady".
Ms. Karen, so my strands fall out daily. I think its my product. I studied my fallen strands, a few are super thick like black thread. Then there's some that start thick, thins out, thick then thins out again - this is on one hair strand. At the tip there's no bulb so that indicates its breaking off close to the root. I'm thinking its big chop time... What's your take? I do take iron supplements, green tea drinker, walk 30 min but the strands are damaged 😟
Hey Gorgeous! Doesn't seem like its an internal issue (yay). It sounds like you 'may' have trichorrhexis nodosa'. Fancy medical term for hair breakage due to weakened points on the hair shaft. Typically is can be from too much heat, chemicals, or over-manipulation of the hair. Do you do any type of protein treatments or reconstructor/strengthening treatments?
@@KarenofCurlHouseThank you! 😊 It's been years since I've done any type of treatments, protein, deep, etc. It's also been years since I've applied heat. I've kept it cornrolled while wearing wigs for the past two years or more. My hair strands are always wrapped around my fingers every time I wash and condition and style 😟😟. Also it's thicker close to the root and thins out towards my ends...😒😟
@@KarenofCurlHouse Okie dokie! I will, although you are an epic teacher. Questions get answers before the video ends! The folks in your Comment Section are right. You explain your art and craft spectacularly! Hmm. I’d like a video on how to best trim my own natural hair…right down to the best laywoman’s scissors to trimming on dry or wet curls…in your professional opinion!
@@claudiamoss7670 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Here's a video on trimming on yourself on dry hair. Haven't done one on curly hair just yet...will put it on my list ruclips.net/video/THvWsaTU2Uo/видео.html
Hey there! I typically say 'regularly' which can be every other day. Its always best to apply to a CLEAN SCALP! Some will even apply a little daily, but too much can cause buildup for some when you also apply our styling products to the scalp.
I'm a new subscriber. I like your science based information and your delivery. Question: Do I need to shampoo right after massaging my scalp with Rosemary and Jojoba oil? I typically shampoo every 5 days.
Hey there! Thank you so much! No you don’t. You want to give the oil time to really penetrate into the hair follicle so don’t wash it out immediately. For example, you can oil at night for bed and wash in the morning if that’s the 5th day and your wash day.
hi karen, per your suggestion I got a hold of a dermatologist and even though im not very happy with how I was treated (he didnt really analyze my hair, he just took note of my symptoms and came up with a conclusion) ,I have been diagnosed with telogen effluvium. He did say it should take 18 months for my hair shedding to calm down, pretty sure I will be bald by then sporting that comb over look, gave me some nutrafol too (the plant based one), not much has changed. What now? Also omg, you're vegetarian?? do you have a cookbook? also where do you get your rosemary oil and the tea ?
Hello there! I'm sorry you had that experience. Have you identified what triggered the excessive shedding? This is so important because the trigger must addressed and corrected for the body to self correct itself. For example, if you are under tremendous amounts of stress, then you must manage the stress for the hair loss to stop. Are you under abnormal stress? The vitamins are a good supplement but with TE, the causation has to be addressed as well.
@@KarenofCurlHouse im working out now, im hoping that would help, but honestly, its just regular stressors of life... work is challenging but not as stressful, I could say my love life isnt up to par, maybe that's my trigger, but im not really trying to force myself to be in one at the moment. im practicing the Chinese millennial lifestyle of laying flat and working out.

YAY! Hi Dorothy! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I"ve got a few videos I'm working on that will address gray. hair -- and if you have any specific concerns you would like for me to address, please share! The answer is just a video away!
Hey There! Welcome to the Curl House Community 💜. I have several clients who have had PRP injections with very good results (however there were a few who didn't have positive results) ! Its your own blood that will help stimulate the hair follicles. An viable hair follicle is the key. Make you do a thorough consultations with the doctor or nurse, or whoever will do the injections though.
Is there any help for scarring Alopecia? I was prescribed a cream called Derma smoothe FS then used it for several months and discontinue that because I really didn't know if the dermatologist wanted me to stay on it that long. I also have a rosemary oil concoction but have not been consistent with that. Any suggestions or do you have a video on this already? Just came upon your Channel.
Hello there! Welcome to the Curl House Community and thank you for your viewership. Yes. There is help with CCCA. If there are viable hair follicles, then there is help. Although CCCA is degenerative, it's most important that you that save those follicles that have not been scarred. Its very important that you take a holistic approach to any type of hair loss. I have several videos on hair restoration/ hair loss so you can search . I did a testimonial video from a client that has CCCA. You can certainly check this out ruclips.net/video/ZVfxeFA1QP0/видео.html Also, I am in the process of launch an online program to help a group of women dealing with slow growth, hair growth challenges, etc. We will be taking lifestyle practices (what I strongly believe in).

Thanks for all you do to help us but when trying to get more iron there’s only 3 leafy greens that the iron in the vegetables are not bio available that’s spinach(yes spinach) beat greens and chard. These have to many oxalates making the what would be nutrients unavailable to your body get Sally K Norton book Toxic superfoods she explains everything in this book I am trying to spread the word because I thought I was eating healthy but still had different ailments anyway you’re eyes will be open and you will be shocked once you read this book and again thank you for helping us
Thank you so much Doris for sharing this! I will go find it on Amazon! I really appreciate it! Now I'm starting to look at my green salads differently! LOL!
What would be your advice? 3/4 of my hair are growing very nicely but 1/4 of my hair at the back are growing very slowly and having alot of breakages. I tried rice water for almost 1 year now but it doesn't change anything. I don't know why my hair is like that for almost 3 years now. I'm tired of it. Could you tell me what is wrong with my hair, please help me?
@@KarenofCurlHouse no, it rarely itch. I always cut my hair short but from 2020 I started grow my hair. I have never put my hair together in a bun because the back hair is always short from that year till now but I can only bun the 3/4 of my hair in the front. My hair type is same as yours (type 4b). I eat healthy meal everyday.
I have a lot of breakage in the front of my head. I'm often scared after washing my hair because it tangles so quickly even if I separate it before shampoo and conditioning. Thanks, Karen
Hey there! Did you see the other video on length retention, or even my latest one? If not here they are: ruclips.net/video/gWBFJR96rmk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/OK3sxyMsUxQ/видео.html And if you haven't already, definitely try a pre-poo (as describe in one of the videos above). It's helps the detangle day by a long shot!
I was experiencing hair loss from January 23 to April to the point where my tub was clogged. Went to see a dermatologist & was given injection & minoxidil. No change. Never told me to get blood work done. Thanks to videos like this I went to my doctor & had blood work done. My ferritin level was at 30. My doctor told me it was normal. I did some research & was told ferritin levels should be between 50 -70 for optimal growth. Ordered iron supplements. And today my sides & middle are growing. It's so important to do research & obtain the right information.
Yes! It may be “normal” but normal isn’t optimal for hair growth. So glad you continued to do your research. And even happier that you are well on your way to full hair restoration 🙌🏾
I can attest to my hair clogging my tub as well. A good iron supplement is the "raw iron" by garden of life. Liquid iron is even better.
@@KarenofCurlHouse I really enjoyed your video, however, my question to you is: I have locks and don't wash my hair 2 to 3 times a week. So ...

There is an exogen phase as well.
Also certain products and medications and hormonal imbalance/depletion can cause excessive shedding and can impede in the hair growth cycle.
Hair grows faster in warmer months than colder months because of increase of blood circulation.

But they are GREAT on the edges. Unlike many protective styles, you do run the risk of tension or traction on the edges. I did a few videos on it.

Thank you I have telogen effluvium dermatologist recommended minoxidil and the itching was to much for me ,so I will get the rosemary oil with a carrier oil ,
So glad you caught it early … and make sure you identify the underlying cause of your shedding (ie stress) and address that too 😊
Wanna get my hair to be like yours. Definetely gonna subscribe
I use J.B.C.O. Rosemarymint hair oil
Now that a great combination! 🙌🏾
Hello Karen, I hope that I am not asking a crazy question, do we go to our Primary care doctor or Dermatologist doctor.
Not such thing as a crazy question. A primary doctor can run all of the blood work. Many times you have to ask for it..or fight for it at times lol 😂
I love your videos! It is so hard to find really good content dealing with naturally graying curly hair. Can you please tell me the brand of Rosemary oil that you are using in this video? I have been going cross-eyed trying to decipher what the label says between the light colored lettering and glare from the screen. 🧐Thanks in advance!
I'm going to try these tips! Thanks
Have fun!
Love this video, lots of needed information
FABULOUS!! 💜
Thanks so much for sharing your information ❤
You are very welcome!

Hello queen 👑 how do I use hibiscus water for hair growth?
Thank you very much for this valuable information on faster hair growth. This is so helpful. You are inspiring me to take better care of my hair. I will check out your hair products.
Yay! Fabulous!!! So glad you found value in this video!
Does genetic have anything to do with hair growth? I also have crown thining & traction alopecia on one side if my edges 😘✌️thanks for this helpful info
Hey nice video, you look great 💋💋
Thanks Shante!!!
Thank you for sharing this.
You are very welcome 🤗
Hi Karen I love your channel it is informative and enjoyable. I am now on the right path to having healthier hair. I wondered if rosemary oil and green tea will discolour grey hair ? Love and blessings from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤🎉
Hey there Sparkleangel! And welcome to the Curl House Community! You can certainly use rosemary as it is relatively clear. Green tea, when steeped, is a pale yellow is should be ok as many of the pale yellow oils I use are ok on the hair BUT I am planning to do a video next week where I will actually dip grey hair in oils to confirm they don't discolor -- I will go ahead and add green tea to my little experiment. Stay tuned!
@@KarenofCurlHouse Hi Karen thank you so much for the information it is very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to your next video. Blessings and love from the 🇬🇧 ❤
@@sparkleangel You are very welcome!!!
Thanks for helping us out 🎉❤
You know I got you 😛
Great video. I will definitely try the tips you noted in the video.
Yay! Fabulous!
I'm concerned about hibiscus water as apposed to lavender water & how to use each 🤔 can you elaborate on this subject? 🤔 thank you in advance 🫶
Hello Karen. I'm new to your channel. I'm in my 40s and I have noticed that my hair texture has changed. My hair was a mix of 3c and 4a with a loose z pattern. I have been natural for 3 years since my most recent big chop and my hair has regrown with a tighter curl 4a and 4b. I'm at a loss as to why the change occurred. As soon as I detangle my hair it shrinks back up, this did not occur before. I would appreciate some insight from you. Thanks.
Hi Liza! Welcome to the Curl House Community! Hair texture changes in the 40s is not uncommon -- my texture changed due to graying (in my 40s), but typically when there are changes in the hormones (menopause or perimenopause) that may accompany changes in texture as well. I've witnessed these hair textures challenges from my clients and ew of my close family members.
Also, iron deficiency or cause the hair to feel brittle or dry but not necessary change to the texture but makes it more prone to breakage.
@@KarenofCurlHouse Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this video
I will incorporate all of these suggestions
Wonderful! Have fun!!!
One question, can or will a hair steamer cause hair damage?
Thank you ❤
Hey there! Good to hear from you!
Thank Karen for this video.. great information 🥰💙
You are very welcome! 🥰
Very good. I love this video as well.
Thank you very much! 🙌🏾
Hi Karen, I love your videos, many thanks for your help.🎉
Can you recommend a clarifying shampoo for colored hair? I'm also low porosity. Thank you.🎉🎉
AWESOME INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Several of these hours familiar with however you added some extra. And thank you for the bonuses. 🎉🙌🏽😍 I saved this video and definitely going to share it, "'Pretty Lady".
Thank you so much for sharing the video! I appreciate it!
@@KarenofCurlHouse ABSOLUTELY!💕
Great video! Thank you❤
Thank you CoCo!
Thank you for sharing this information I really appreciate it 👏🏾
You are so welcome!
Ms. Karen, so my strands fall out daily. I think its my product. I studied my fallen strands, a few are super thick like black thread. Then there's some that start thick, thins out, thick then thins out again - this is on one hair strand. At the tip there's no bulb so that indicates its breaking off close to the root. I'm thinking its big chop time... What's your take?
I do take iron supplements, green tea drinker, walk 30 min but the strands are damaged 😟
Hey Gorgeous! Doesn't seem like its an internal issue (yay). It sounds like you 'may' have trichorrhexis nodosa'. Fancy medical term for hair breakage due to weakened points on the hair shaft. Typically is can be from too much heat, chemicals, or over-manipulation of the hair. Do you do any type of protein treatments or reconstructor/strengthening treatments?
@@KarenofCurlHouseThank you! 😊
It's been years since I've done any type of treatments, protein, deep, etc. It's also been years since I've applied heat. I've kept it cornrolled while wearing wigs for the past two years or more. My hair strands are always wrapped around my fingers every time I wash and condition and style 😟😟. Also it's thicker close to the root and thins out towards my ends...😒😟
I enjoyed the hair-growth tips! I just joined your channel, and I like looking at you and listening to your voice! You’re beautiful! 💆🏾♀️
Thank you so much! WELCOME TO THE CURL HOUSE FAMILY! 💜 Let me know if you have any questions or need to video! LOL!
@@KarenofCurlHouse Hi! 🙋🏾♀️ You are welcome! Muchas gracias por el bienvenido!
@@KarenofCurlHouse Okie dokie! I will, although you are an epic teacher. Questions get answers before the video ends! The folks in your Comment Section are right. You explain your art and craft spectacularly! Hmm. I’d like a video on how to best trim my own natural hair…right down to the best laywoman’s scissors to trimming on dry or wet curls…in your professional opinion!
@@claudiamoss7670 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Here's a video on trimming on yourself on dry hair. Haven't done one on curly hair just yet...will put it on my list ruclips.net/video/THvWsaTU2Uo/видео.html
Thank you so much for this link! I so appreciate you!!! @@KarenofCurlHouse
Apply rosemary oil and castor oil for how long? Thanks for sharing.
Hello there! I recommend you do this 3 - 4x per week. Here's a video I just posted about the oils ruclips.net/video/yXD0NcWdEEQ/видео.html
Thanks, for the info. Must try the green tea rinse😜
You should! I will be putting out a video soon that gives more specific information on how to do a green tea rinse as well.
Do you mind showing people what you eat as plant based
Yes yes yes!! Many people have asked me that! I am going to add it to my video list.
How often would you use the rosemary/carrier oil mixture on the skip? Daily? A few times per week?
Thank you! God bless!
Hey there! I typically say 'regularly' which can be every other day. Its always best to apply to a CLEAN SCALP! Some will even apply a little daily, but too much can cause buildup for some when you also apply our styling products to the scalp.
I'm a new subscriber. I like your science based information and your delivery. Question: Do I need to shampoo right after massaging my scalp with Rosemary and Jojoba oil? I typically shampoo every 5 days.
Hey there! Thank you so much! No you don’t. You want to give the oil time to really penetrate into the hair follicle so don’t wash it out immediately. For example, you can oil at night for bed and wash in the morning if that’s the 5th day and your wash day.
@@KarenofCurlHouse Thank you!
hi karen, per your suggestion I got a hold of a dermatologist and even though im not very happy with how I was treated (he didnt really analyze my hair, he just took note of my symptoms and came up with a conclusion) ,I have been diagnosed with telogen effluvium.
He did say it should take 18 months for my hair shedding to calm down, pretty sure I will be bald by then sporting that comb over look, gave me some nutrafol too (the plant based one), not much has changed. What now?
Also omg, you're vegetarian?? do you have a cookbook? also where do you get your rosemary oil and the tea ?
Hello there! I'm sorry you had that experience. Have you identified what triggered the excessive shedding? This is so important because the trigger must addressed and corrected for the body to self correct itself. For example, if you are under tremendous amounts of stress, then you must manage the stress for the hair loss to stop. Are you under abnormal stress? The vitamins are a good supplement but with TE, the causation has to be addressed as well.
@@KarenofCurlHouse im working out now, im hoping that would help, but honestly, its just regular stressors of life... work is challenging but not as stressful, I could say my love life isnt up to par, maybe that's my trigger, but im not really trying to force myself to be in one at the moment. im practicing the Chinese millennial lifestyle of laying flat and working out.
How can I get original rosemary oil
This is a brand I like on Amazon --> amzn.to/45cQyhF

Fabulous! Thank you! Please let me know if there is anything you would like to know -- always looking for video content.
Hi Karen. I am from the Caribbean and while browsing your channel popped up. What information and to add to this I am gray . I am hook on your channel, keep up sharing information especially on our gray hair. Kudos . I am one of your number one fan❤

New to your page. Thanks for the content! What is your opinion on PRP injections?
Hey There! Welcome to the Curl House Community 💜. I have several clients who have had PRP injections with very good results (however there were a few who didn't have positive results) ! Its your own blood that will help stimulate the hair follicles. An viable hair follicle is the key. Make you do a thorough consultations with the doctor or nurse, or whoever will do the injections though.
Question 🙋🏽♀️ can you become a Trichologist without being an licensed Cosmetologists?
Absolutely! Trichology is more so about health and the body systems and it’s affect on the scalp so you certainly don’t have to style hair.
Is there any help for scarring Alopecia? I was prescribed a cream called Derma smoothe FS then used it for several months and discontinue that because I really didn't know if the dermatologist wanted me to stay on it that long. I also have a rosemary oil concoction but have not been consistent with that. Any suggestions or do you have a video on this already? Just came upon your Channel.
Hello there! Welcome to the Curl House Community and thank you for your viewership. Yes. There is help with CCCA. If there are viable hair follicles, then there is help. Although CCCA is degenerative, it's most important that you that save those follicles that have not been scarred. Its very important that you take a holistic approach to any type of hair loss. I have several videos on hair restoration/ hair loss so you can search . I did a testimonial video from a client that has CCCA. You can certainly check this out ruclips.net/video/ZVfxeFA1QP0/видео.html
Also, I am in the process of launch an online program to help a group of women dealing with slow growth, hair growth challenges, etc. We will be taking lifestyle practices (what I strongly believe in).

These have to many oxalates making the what would be nutrients unavailable to your body get Sally K Norton book Toxic superfoods she explains everything in this book I am trying to spread the word because I thought I was eating healthy but still had different ailments anyway you’re eyes will be open and you will be shocked once you read this book and again thank you for helping us
Thank you so much Doris for sharing this! I will go find it on Amazon! I really appreciate it! Now I'm starting to look at my green salads differently! LOL!
Please do a video on styling your hair. Love the hairstyle
Thanks a bunch! Here you go -- ruclips.net/video/GZ_FoAXUGJo/видео.html
Wow
What would be your advice?
3/4 of my hair are growing very nicely but 1/4 of my hair at the back are growing very slowly and having alot of breakages. I tried rice water for almost 1 year now but it doesn't change anything.
I don't know why my hair is like that for almost 3 years now. I'm tired of it. Could you tell me what is wrong with my hair, please help me?
Hello there! A few questions -- Does the back of your hair/scalp itch? What's your signature hairstyle? How's your overall diet/nutrition?
@@KarenofCurlHouse no, it rarely itch. I always cut my hair short but from 2020 I started grow my hair. I have never put my hair together in a bun because the back hair is always short from that year till now but I can only bun the 3/4 of my hair in the front. My hair type is same as yours (type 4b). I eat healthy meal everyday.
Superb overview..😂❤😂❤😅
Fabulous! Thank you! 🙌🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
I just didn't take Vitamin D from over the counter, Vitamin D3 works best for me.
Yes! Vitamin D3 is go as well!!!
Lol. I thought a Try Cologist was a person who was so frustrated with their hair that they would try anything to get their hair to act right
Haha! Now that was funny!! Lol 😂

I have a lot of breakage in the front of my head. I'm often scared after washing my hair because it tangles so quickly even if I separate it before shampoo and conditioning. Thanks, Karen
Hey there! Did you see the other video on length retention, or even my latest one? If not here they are:

And if you haven't already, definitely try a pre-poo (as describe in one of the videos above). It's helps the detangle day by a long shot!
