Wowwwwwwww! The first tip...PRAY!!!! I loved it! I totally agree! Take better care but keep God first. "Don't make your hair a god." You are so right. That was the best thing I've heard on a hair care video on youtube and I've watched DOZEN AND DOZENS!!! Great video! :)
I made a ton of prayers daily for my hair but somehow they were never answered the way I wanted. However, my prayers have been answered for other more meaningful things such as marriage and career.
forreal that's what I say. I am a woman of od but before seeing this video I was 2 seconds from making my hair my God......so crazy. So now I'm going to put od 1st in everything including my hair.
I lost my hair and I had always been known for my long, thick hair. It's devastating when you lose your hair. See, some people think it's just hair, but hair is a reflection of your overall health. Later that summer, I found out that I was toxic due to the foods I ate. That is why I say healthy hair helped my overall health. When I got that in line, I cleared up some health problems.
Good day ma'am! Just wanted to say that you should have keep up with your beautiful hair vlog to be encouraging us☺️☺️ love all few videos but was really hoping to get more of your hair vlog.
Amen!!! Our hair is our glory and the Lord thought highly of us to number each strand. God bless you for putting God first in your hair care breakthrough.
You are just so sweet...thanks for your encouraging story. I am south Asian, a mom of 2 small kids, I'm experiencing the thinning at crown too - it was really demotivating. I'm going to try your suggestions. Lord bless you for having courage to share your pics and your experience.
+7mike2300 Hi Mike, Hair treatment takes time and you have to be patient. I used many treatment for my hair and many of them did not work and since I am the kind of person that works, I cant be having oils in my hair and having greasy situation. Please be aware when you used hair treatment it does not take one day to grow hair, nor 7 days, it will takes more time than one month, you must be patient. I had my hair falling for nothing and I began to have a bald spot on my head and as woman that affected me a lot but men are no different from woman, it affects them as much as we do, you are young. I used Hair Essential, it took one whole month to stop the hair falling, then 4 months later I noticed baby hair coming out of my head, I have been using it for 3 and half years, my hair is completely full now after almost 3 years. I still use it, so hope this can help but everybody is different.

I noticed that, too, and I didn't want to obsess over my hair, especially, when I was waiting for my hair to grow back. This journey taught me patience and time management skills because I stuck to a strict regimen, meaning Saturdays were my shampoo days, et. Everyone respected that and didn't bother me on shampoo day! :)
Thank you Shalena! You were an answer to a prayer I prayed just last night. I am amazed out how timely and swiftly the Lord has been answering my prayer. God bless you.
Thank you for this. I have become obsessed with my hair and hair videos. I sincerely appreciate the wake up call to not make my hair my god. I needed to hear that.
Thank you so much for your videos, I have been natural for 5 years and was about to give up till i started watching your videos. Ms. Shalena I thank God for you and your stay encouraged and be bless...keep the videos coming!!!!
AWESOME!!! Keep experimenting. Find what works for your hair. Listen to your hair. It will talk to you and let you know what works FOR YOU. Use my videos and all others as guides only. Discover what works BEST FOR YOUR HAIR!!! Much success!!!
Praise God! I'm so glad that God showed you to put Him first and I definitely needed to hear that! I don't want to make it all about my hair when He's the One who provides! I'm glad that you've found what works for you! Continue to stay encouraged (:
Thank you. IM 61 years young,Thank you for loving God, I thank God for loving us, I know he is concered about any thing that concerns us, Including our hair! ! !.Thoes that Make spiteful remarks.,are hurting,they seek to hurt others because they are broken and wounded,I pray they find peace thru Jesus Christ....To be accepted by the beloved...keep on teaching ,for thoes that have ears to hear,you have knowledge that will benefit many.God bless you,and your family.,sincerely.
Bless your heart! Great information! My hair has thickened, but struggling with my edges and crown. I had a little bottle if emu oil I forgot about, just start using and the jbco again. I'm 56 years old and I have salt and pepper hair. I do obsess about my hair a lot because most of my life I had a lot of hair. When I went into menopause and wore wigs for 3 years my hair really suffered.
thank you sooo much!! I'm 19 yrs old from london and you have truly inspired me. I've just cut my hair down to two inches and just want to start again. I see it as rebirth but, not only for my hair but for my whole well being. Your video has inhanced my jouney. thank you! :D
THANK YOU for bringing your faith into the conversation. I've been doing a ton of research on how to take care of my hair naturally and you are the first to mention God. I know that God doesn't want us to be vain but He also wants us to be women of excellence and put our best selves forward. God bless you and thanks for the tips!
Hands down the best informative video on RUclips. Excellent advice and thank you for doing all the research. I don't drink enough water but I do eat well and noticed some hair loss. I also noticed when I use Henna to dye my hair it's healthier than using chemical dyes. Excellent video and thank you for posting it. Surprised you don't have 10million views and likes.
I love how you said incorporate God!!!! lately I have been obsessing about my hair wow and never thought that I could be making it an idol!!!..God always gives confirmation... God bless you Woman of God....Great Video
Great video :) I LOVE the fact that you praised God first.. very thoughtful :) thank you for that :) You also seem like a very nice person.. genuine. . Polite.. helpful.. supportive.. The amountless numbers of positive vibes I recieved from this video .. from you.. is AWESOME! So thank you for that! I love the Can-Do attitude :) I will definitely start doing what u recommended.. thank you so much :)
Thank you for reminding us to keep God first. It is so refreshing to hear that on a You Tube Video as another viewer already said. Blessings to you and thanks so much!!!
Thanks for giving glory to God! I had something happen that thinned out my crown but the hair is trying to grow back. I am going to incorporate your suggestions so that it comes in even faster.
I loved this video. I love that you put God first and I love that through the process of changing different things in your life, you wound up not just with thicker hair but nourishing the body He gave you, which must feel great. God bless you!
I really enjoyed this video. You kept it super simple and full of information and you kept the Lord involved. No vulgarity, no music, and thanks for the before and after pics. Thanks and please share any other helpful information.
Stress was killing my hair. My scalp was oily, my hair was thin and it felt a lot in the shower. I wet to the dermatologist and she gave me this directions: exercise half an hour every day to help controlling my stress levels. Wash the hair every day instead of doing it every other day or every other two days (the natural oils were doing more harm than good) and stop pulling the hair up. Thanks for your advice, I'm sure they will be very helpful. God bless you
stephjarr well you add extra stress to the strand and the scalp. Have you notice it hurts a bit or feels funny when you let your hair down? That is not very good for the roots because you are actually pulling them out. The younger strands (the new hair) are delicate and can be pulled our easily, specially if you have an oily scalp like me. The excess oil lubricates the follicle (I'm not sure if it's spelled correctly, sorry) and makes it extra vulnerable and easy to pull out. So my doctor said be careful with the updos.
I haven't had a perm in over 3 to 4 years I have edges that are a little thin but mostly I have further up close to the center on each side of the middle of my head little hairs but they never seem to grow thick and right in the center front the hair never grows past my nose and its thin to the crown so I'm glad to know your here because I was truly going back to a perm even though perms and color seem to swell me up now so I haven't wanted to put anything that's going to make it worst on my hair. I am older and diabetic but am will to try these things. Have a happy, safe day.
God bless you.... you have totally changed my way of thinking....I think i have been being too conceited with my hair....and now that it's slowly falling out I feel like I'm loosing hope for it to return to how it was. Thank you do so much, so proud of you. May God bless you and your family...gosh...I have tear in my eyes xxxx
This was a great video. Thank you for being brave enough to show us where you started and how far you have come. It really gives us out there just starting our hair journeys encouragement that if we stay the course our hair will GROW!!! Thank you!
Wow! I'm going thru this now and am natural wearing a short tapered cut. I'm glad you stated there are a lot of factors come into play with your hair in combination with your body. I will use these tips. Thank you
I JUST LOVE UR PERSONALITY, AND UR ENCOURAGING WORDS AND THE WAY U WERE VERY BLUNT AND NOT ASHAMED TO MENTION MY GOD! THAT'S RIGHT HUN, DON'T EVER CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS ABOUT BEING RELIGIOUS ONLINE, IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT THEY MAY QUICKLY CHANGE THE CHANNEL, AHAHA. BE BLESSED AND CONGRATS ON UR SUCCESS WITH UR HAIR REGIMEN:-)
Thanks for posting this. I'm definitely going to try some of the things you've mentioned. I'm suffering from hair loss (male pattern baldness) due to PCOS and it's extremely demoralising as I once had long THICK strands of unmanageable hair. I read in many places that women who lose their hair due to PCOS will never be able to grow their hair back because their effected hair follicles are dead, I'm not willing to give up just yet. So once again thank you for sharing your experience with us. :)
You go girl!!! God is concerned with all that concerns us and He knows what will work and what won't. I am so proud of you for putting Him first. God wants us to ask Him about EVERYTHING, however, most people don't think to as Him about day to day care as you did. Again, AWESOME!!! Keep up the GREAT work...
Scalp massages are sooo good, both for encouraging blood flow to the scalp, like you mentioned, but also good for relaxation and stress. What a wonderful way to give yourself a little pampering. :)
Grounded flaxseed is better for your body due to the Omega 3s. Great in smoothies. I appreciate your video! I think the foods we eat can lead to the hormonal imbalances which can cause the hair loss.
Awesome, thank you so much for the advice. My boyfriend started balding and It has really messed with his self-esteem. I remind him everyday that with or without hair he still looks good but these tips will really help. :)
I was doing some of this but not all of it. I am going to try it for thirty days and will share the results later. I ordered everything and will start on July 10th to give my products a chance to come in the mail. After 30 days, I will let you know. Keep me in prayer. Thank you for sharing. I am a believer that God gives us instructions to do things and I believe he had me to listen to your video to learn how to grow my hair as well. Thank you!
I'm so glad that resonated with you: IT'S THE TRUTH! God really taught me alot with my natural hair routine. I will post a video about it one day. Believe it or not, my healthy hair journey improved my health, time management skills, and helped me during my grieving process after the death of my nephew.
Thank you for sharing your video and you healthy hair journey!! You by far have the best natural hair regimen that I've seen that I am going to follow. I was very hesitant about the Monistat procedure that I know many black women are using and I didn't want to use that. Again, thank you. After my results I will share.
I love your attitude and positivity about this, I think that is as much help to me, if not more, than any of the tips - which I'm going to start trying. Thank you so much.
I truly have to say thank you for this video. I have been searching and searching through you tube in hopes to find great advice and you have given that. I really needed this and as soon as I get off I am going to pick up those items that you suggested. Stay blessed and continue to do what you are doing!
Nikki Clark WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! I can't wait to do a hair journey video about how this journey affected MY LIFE! Here's the short version: Once I started on this journey, I began to love myself more. As a result I started demanding and asking more of life and myself. I realized that I was in a toxic relationship of 6 years and left EVERYTHING. Embracing my natural beauty helped me to find the inner strength to create the life of my dreams. I will do a video about this soon. xoxoxoxox
shalenadiva it's wonderful to hear you're efforts to take care of yourself made you love yourself that much more. That's the greatest gift you gave yourself!
Peace sis! You did an excellent job of presenting the information in your video. May I add detoxing the body with a cleanse. Ridding the body of toxins will improve absorption of those wonderful nutrients you’ve mentioned! Dietary changes involving nutrient dense foods render better results in a clean body. Blessings to you and thanks for the awesome reminders!
I loved this video! My edges are thinning from months of tight buns and ponytails (the stay at home mom style). I'm definitely going to try your tips! Thanks!
Gud video what a blessing u mentioned not making our hair our God we dnt wanna become engrossed to that point thanks for the healthy tips I'm gonna get the jbco and the multivitamin and drink more water
Oh I love what you said about God and about health and I just loved the whole video. I was watching a lot of hair videos about chicks who used the gro out hair oil and the lip smacking and saying ummmmm got on my last nerve. This video was a relief and informative. I thought you did a really good job. :D
So glad that you put God first. I have been doing the same thing and I am on somewhat the same diet that you are talking about and I can see the hair on the crown of my head beginning to grow back. I too am a Christian and I remember in the word of God says that our hair is our Glory. Does not mean you put your hair before God, but He wants us to take good care of it. You are doing a good job in educating your public.God Bless you and keep up the good work
@@shalenadiva Thank you for your reply. I am in my 70's and I just love your beautiful personality when you speak. You have the glow of the Lord all over you. I thought at first that my age was the reason I was losing my hair, but I have seen so many women of my age and older with a beautiful head of hair. I asked the Lord what's wrong with me, why am I losing my hair on top and the sides? I also was on a lot of medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. The Lord impressed on my mind to trust Him not these medication (in which I was so tire of taking anyway). So I told my doctor that I was no longer going to take these medication anymore and if I die, I die! At least I know where I am going from here and looking forward to being with my Lord. You know it's been just about a year now since I stop taking my medication and my blood pressure has been normal and no problem with my cholesterol. I change my eating habits to more healthier foods, no fried foods, more veges and fruit and lots of water. I have been told that my complexion is even looking better for my age. My doctor is surprise. I just want to share this with you. Sorry I type so much, but this is my testimony. Praise the Lord!
Thank you I have been looking for a way to help my hair. I am a God fearing Saint and I value God's guidance. You have inspired me not only to seek God about my hair but to also do those things that are healthy for my body, like drink more water!
I'm just wondering why people come on a video about improving self and have hateful, mean, ugly things to say? OAN: Everything you stated is correct. It is inside out first ! Keep up the great work and I'm glad your hair grew back!
PRAYING this works for me. I had very thick hair and then 5 years ago lost a lot. Now the hair loss has started again last month and I'm freaking out but I think it's time to make permanent changes to my diet. I went to get a blood test and I'm waiting for results to see where I'm deficient. I'll give this a few months and hoping for the best.
I too, want to applaud you for putting God first because prayer changes EVERYTHING!! Also, thank you for sharing your story as well as your video of your journey. I've been praying for God to help me with my hair thinning and eventually going bald in some areas. This has truly taken a toll on my self-esteem. I've asked beauticians as well as went to see a dermatologist. The beautician just was taking my money but not really helping me and the dermatologist ran a bunch of tests checking my thyroid, testosterone levels, etc. and they were all fine. I've had people tell me a bunch of products to use but not how to use them and I'm sick of just throwing money away. I'm going to try everything that you have said on here including changing my diet and exercise and I hope it goes well for me like it did for you☺️. Be Blessed and keep doing what you are doing to help women like me. Thank you again. 😌
i subscribed as soon as i noticed she actually does reasearch . sounds just like me right now I've been looking everywhere to find how to make my balding crown grow . i have a condition where i pull my hair out and it has gotten really really bad but im really going to pray about this , eat more healthier and also take my vitamins I've already been trying to drink more water and exercise so i guess when i find the time ill upload videos of how its coming along for me . thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I too have a bald crown, but mine is more permanently damaged than a balding crown. I had a bald spot from chemically treating my hair and putting flat twist in right after, since I was 7 or 8. I am now 20, and I still have the bald spot. It is much smaller, but it wasn't until 7 years later that I begin to get my hair to grow back there. Hopefully these things will work for me.
I love all the tips you gave....much more comforting and realistic compared to the 'tips' of putting monistat in your hair lol. And I really like that you mentioned asking for help and guidance from God :)....thanks again for this awesome advice, God bless you!
ur video is really inspiring..and definitely d most informative hair grow tutorial i hav ever come across..i hav a balding crown and hav used like everything from nature to science but NOTHING WORKS!! m eager to follow ur tips coz i hav a strong feeling dat they would work...thank you dear..GOD BLESS!!
Thank you for the great info. Praise God that he is in your life, I am so happy to see your results, I've been doing the same as u mentioned and it really works eating healthy and just making your body healthy inside and out. Putting the Lord 1st above it all key. God Bless keep doing a great work!
You are such a blessing. 1st what you said about making your hair your God. I was beginning to do that. Thank you for bringing me back girl. 2nd that there's hope for my bald spot. I just noticed how I have a pretty large on in the front of my head. This gives me hope that I can grow the hair back. Thank you, and be blessed.
So happy I found your channel! I noticed last week that i too have a balding crown :( similar to your experience from a picture a friend took... Im going to be giving castor oil a go and stop wearing my hair in buns since Iv done this for years and abused my hair, started taking care of my hair with no heat for about 2 years and its only now Im seeing the damage of all those years... Thank you for this video, and your super pretty too!!! :)
I love, love the thoroughness of your videos! This is very educational. Evaluation of our diets and our exercise habits is great. Good blood flow is critical. You are a catalyst in this learning process about my hair. Thanks so much! Glad I found your videos and subscribed. Bless you; be encouraged!
Great video! This helped a ton for me (: I knew a little about what I needed to do, but this entire video was so thorough and informative and I learned so much. Another factor that usually affects people is sleep, because when you're sleep deprived your body is under stress and stops sending nutrients to your scalp to grow hair. Because like you said, hair is not essential to the body. (Source: Belgravia Centre)
stephene125 Sooooo true!!!! My body had become toxic due to my diet and I know that played a major role in my hair loss. Once I started eating better and drinking more water, my hair started coming back FASTER using the things I talked about in the video.
shalenadiva I am one of those who don't drink NEARLY enough water, but I am now so desperate regarding my hair loss and shedding that I will definitely buckle down and start drinking away!! Thanks so much for all the other tips too!
Brooke Adrianne HAHAHA! I have been sick recently, and now my daughter is giving me the "water" talk.....telling me how I need to drink more water and I'm probably a little dehydrated as well and how I should be ashamed of myself, being a nurse and all....but NEVER drinking water like I should! She's 25...and I couldn't get mad at her, because she was absolutely correct! Soooo last night I drank the cup of water she poured for me! She wouldn't go to bed until I finished most of it in front of her! :)
Thankyou for this video i am doing the exact same treatments & water,vitamins& minerals & also taking a vegan protein powder,Ive been looking for some confirmation that i am on the right track,I have prayed and listened & God has shown me the way God Bless
thanks I already do half of these things. I only drink water and cranberry juice .I do take fish oils ,the emu oil really didn't help me .I will try the castor oil ,my crown is balding and like you I've prayed that Jesus would give me wisdom ...thanks a lot

Minoval oil (any black hair supply store) twice daily. Biotin (3 to 4 pills) a day will have your hair growing like weeds! : )

First tip is THE Best! Thank you for reminding us all on our hair journeys to not idolize our hair but put God first.

Why did your doctor say pulling your hair up is bad? I wear a bun everyday for work and I never thought it would be bad for my thinning hair.
stephjarr well you add extra stress to the strand and the scalp. Have you notice it hurts a bit or feels funny when you let your hair down? That is not very good for the roots because you are actually pulling them out. The younger strands (the new hair) are delicate and can be pulled our easily, specially if you have an oily scalp like me. The excess oil lubricates the follicle (I'm not sure if it's spelled correctly, sorry) and makes it extra vulnerable and easy to pull out. So my doctor said be careful with the updos.
I haven't had a perm in over 3 to 4 years I have edges that are a little thin but mostly I have further up close to the center on each side of the middle of my head little hairs but they never seem to grow thick and right in the center front the hair never grows past my nose and its thin to the crown so I'm glad to know your here because I was truly going back to a perm even though perms and color seem to swell me up now so I haven't wanted to put anything that's going to make it worst on my hair. I am older and diabetic but am will to try these things. Have a happy, safe day.
God bless you.... you have totally changed my way of thinking....I think i have been being too conceited with my hair....and now that it's slowly falling out I feel like I'm loosing hope for it to return to how it was. Thank you do so much, so proud of you. May God bless you and your family...gosh...I have tear in my eyes xxxx
I just have to say: you are so sweet!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
This was a great video. Thank you for being brave enough to show us where you started and how far you have come. It really gives us out there just starting our hair journeys encouragement that if we stay the course our hair will GROW!!! Thank you!
Wow! I'm going thru this now and am natural wearing a short tapered cut. I'm glad you stated there are a lot of factors come into play with your hair in combination with your body. I will use these tips. Thank you
REAL TALK... I didn't hit like until u said I actually prayed and asked God" GLORY!!!!! I was about to ffwd....THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL & NATURAL!
I JUST LOVE UR PERSONALITY, AND UR ENCOURAGING WORDS AND THE WAY U WERE VERY BLUNT AND NOT ASHAMED TO MENTION MY GOD! THAT'S RIGHT HUN, DON'T EVER CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS ABOUT BEING RELIGIOUS ONLINE, IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT THEY MAY QUICKLY CHANGE THE CHANNEL, AHAHA. BE BLESSED AND CONGRATS ON UR SUCCESS WITH UR HAIR REGIMEN:-)
Thanks for posting this. I'm definitely going to try some of the things you've mentioned. I'm suffering from hair loss (male pattern baldness) due to PCOS and it's extremely demoralising as I once had long THICK strands of unmanageable hair. I read in many places that women who lose their hair due to PCOS will never be able to grow their hair back because their effected hair follicles are dead, I'm not willing to give up just yet. So once again thank you for sharing your experience with us.
:)
hi. have you recovered?
You go girl!!! God is concerned with all that concerns us and He knows what will work and what won't. I am so proud of you for putting Him first. God wants us to ask Him about EVERYTHING, however, most people don't think to as Him about day to day care as you did. Again, AWESOME!!! Keep up the GREAT work...
Scalp massages are sooo good, both for encouraging blood flow to the scalp, like you mentioned, but also good for relaxation and stress. What a wonderful way to give yourself a little pampering. :)
Grounded flaxseed is better for your body due to the Omega 3s. Great in smoothies. I appreciate your video! I think the foods we eat can lead to the hormonal imbalances which can cause the hair loss.
How do you roller set your hair?
Awesome, thank you so much for the advice. My boyfriend started balding and It has really messed with his self-esteem. I remind him everyday that with or without hair he still looks good but these tips will really help. :)
I was doing some of this but not all of it. I am going to try it for thirty days and will share the results later. I ordered everything and will start on July 10th to give my products a chance to come in the mail. After 30 days, I will let you know. Keep me in prayer. Thank you for sharing. I am a believer that God gives us instructions to do things and I believe he had me to listen to your video to learn how to grow my hair as well. Thank you!
beverly hughes update?
I'm so glad that resonated with you: IT'S THE TRUTH! God really taught me alot with my natural hair routine. I will post a video about it one day. Believe it or not, my healthy hair journey improved my health, time management skills, and helped me during my grieving process after the death of my nephew.
❤Sorry for your loss.✌❤🙏
Thank you for sharing your video and you healthy hair journey!! You by far have the best natural hair regimen that I've seen that I am going to follow. I was very hesitant about the Monistat procedure that I know many black women are using and I didn't want to use that. Again, thank you. After my results I will share.
Thanks Shalena for sharing. Very informative. Best shared information for growing healthy hair from within. God bless.
You hit all the important points about the starting on the inside then work on the out side. Great video...
I love your attitude and positivity about this, I think that is as much help to me, if not more, than any of the tips - which I'm going to start trying. Thank you so much.
I truly have to say thank you for this video. I have been searching and searching through you tube in hopes to find great advice and you have given that. I really needed this and as soon as I get off I am going to pick up those items that you suggested. Stay blessed and continue to do what you are doing!
Thanks so much for sharing Shalena! I love your overall approach, you have a lovely energy and you look amazing! Much love, Monique
TY!!! 💗💞💗
Yessss! I love this! My all time favorite RUclips video 😍👏 I love that u gave credit to God
Nikki Clark WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! I can't wait to do a hair journey video about how this journey affected MY LIFE! Here's the short version: Once I started on this journey, I began to love myself more. As a result I started demanding and asking more of life and myself. I realized that I was in a toxic relationship of 6 years and left EVERYTHING. Embracing my natural beauty helped me to find the inner strength to create the life of my dreams. I will do a video about this soon. xoxoxoxox
shalenadiva it's wonderful to hear you're efforts to take care of yourself made you love yourself that much more. That's the greatest gift you gave yourself!
Love that you're keeping God first! :) and that you shared that with us
+BriarRose Yes, "God" first, because "God" made her hair fall out. Y'all are nuts
You come across as a very sincere person. I'm glad I came across your page. Stay blessed!
Peace sis! You did an excellent job of presenting the information in your video. May I add detoxing the body with a cleanse. Ridding the body of toxins will improve absorption of those wonderful nutrients you’ve mentioned! Dietary changes involving nutrient dense foods render better results in a clean body. Blessings to you and thanks for the awesome reminders!
I loved this video! My edges are thinning from months of tight buns and ponytails (the stay at home mom style). I'm definitely going to try your tips! Thanks!
You are so sweet and so right to put the Lord first even in our hair care! Blessings and continued success for you.
Gud video what a blessing u mentioned not making our hair our God we dnt wanna become engrossed to that point thanks for the healthy tips I'm gonna get the jbco and the multivitamin and drink more water
Keshia o
Oh I love what you said about God and about health and I just loved the whole video. I was watching a lot of hair videos about chicks who used the gro out hair oil and the lip smacking and saying ummmmm got on my last nerve. This video was a relief and informative. I thought you did a really good job. :D
Your hair is gorgeous.
Loved your videos, very informative and easy to follow; thanks for posting stay blessed!!
So glad that you put God first. I have been doing the same thing and I am on somewhat the same diet that you are talking about and I can see the hair on the crown of my head beginning to grow back. I too am a Christian and I remember in the word of God says that our hair is our Glory. Does not mean you put your hair before God, but He wants us to take good care of it. You are doing a good job in educating your public.God Bless you and keep up the good work
Thank you for commenting!! God is good. I'm so glad that you understood the message I was trying to convey. Much success on your hair journey.
@@shalenadiva Thank you for your reply. I am in my 70's and I just love your beautiful personality when you speak. You have the glow of the Lord all over you. I thought at first that my age was the reason I was losing my hair, but I have seen so many women of my age and older with a beautiful head of hair. I asked the Lord what's wrong with me, why am I losing my hair on top and the sides? I also was on a lot of medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. The Lord impressed on my mind to trust Him not these medication (in which I was so tire of taking anyway). So I told my doctor that I was no longer going to take these medication anymore and if I die, I die! At least I know where I am going from here and looking forward to being with my Lord. You know it's been just about a year now since I stop taking my medication and my blood pressure has been normal and no problem with my cholesterol. I change my eating habits to more healthier foods, no fried foods, more veges and fruit and lots of water. I have been told that my complexion is even looking better for my age. My doctor is surprise. I just want to share this with you. Sorry I type so much, but this is my testimony. Praise the Lord!
thank you so much for this video!
Your hair is beautiful and so are you!
Thank you darling!!!
Thank you for. Putting God first Is encouraging
Thank you I have been looking for a way to help my hair. I am a God fearing Saint and I value God's guidance. You have inspired me not only to seek God about my hair but to also do those things that are healthy for my body, like drink more water!
I'm just wondering why people come on a video about improving self and have hateful, mean, ugly things to say? OAN: Everything you stated is correct. It is inside out first ! Keep up the great work and I'm glad your hair grew back!
PRAYING this works for me. I had very thick hair and then 5 years ago lost a lot. Now the hair loss has started again last month and I'm freaking out but I think it's time to make permanent changes to my diet. I went to get a blood test and I'm waiting for results to see where I'm deficient. I'll give this a few months and hoping for the best.
I too, want to applaud you for putting God first because prayer changes EVERYTHING!! Also, thank you for sharing your story as well as your video of your journey. I've been praying for God to help me with my hair thinning and eventually going bald in some areas. This has truly taken a toll on my self-esteem. I've asked beauticians as well as went to see a dermatologist. The beautician just was taking my money but not really helping me and the dermatologist ran a bunch of tests checking my thyroid, testosterone levels, etc. and they were all fine. I've had people tell me a bunch of products to use but not how to use them and I'm sick of just throwing money away. I'm going to try everything that you have said on here including changing my diet and exercise and I hope it goes well for me like it did for you☺️. Be Blessed and keep doing what you are doing to help women like me. Thank you again. 😌
i subscribed as soon as i noticed she actually does reasearch . sounds just like me right now I've been looking everywhere to find how to make my balding crown grow . i have a condition where i pull my hair out and it has gotten really really bad but im really going to pray about this , eat more healthier and also take my vitamins I've already been trying to drink more water and exercise so i guess when i find the time ill upload videos of how its coming along for me . thank you so much :)
You're beautiful and your skin just has healthy glow to it too 💜
I will do a tutorial for this hairstyle. I call it the Shalena DIVA curly. It's simply a roller set.
this is beautiful and so are you. Thank you for this informative video and God bless you and yours.
Awww thank you!!!! You encouraged me to create more videos!!!
I'm SO glad you said that: "don't make your hair a god" that's a problem I've been on the verge on, I've been so obsessive.
Thank you for the video!
I love when young people, like yourself, discover the gifts of mother nature....
Very inspirational video! My crown is thin and breaking so I will incorporate some of the tips you gave. Thanks!
amen I'm glad God has blessed you with diligence and knowledge
Thank you so much for sharing! I too have a bald crown, but mine is more permanently damaged than a balding crown. I had a bald spot from chemically treating my hair and putting flat twist in right after, since I was 7 or 8. I am now 20, and I still have the bald spot. It is much smaller, but it wasn't until 7 years later that I begin to get my hair to grow back there. Hopefully these things will work for me.
I love all the tips you gave....much more comforting and realistic compared to the 'tips' of putting monistat in your hair lol. And I really like that you mentioned asking for help and guidance from God :)....thanks again for this awesome advice, God bless you!
ur video is really inspiring..and definitely d most informative hair grow tutorial i hav ever come across..i hav a balding crown and hav used like everything from nature to science but NOTHING WORKS!! m eager to follow ur tips coz i hav a strong feeling dat they would work...thank you dear..GOD BLESS!!
Awesome. Thanx for the info. Also, what you said about hair worship is on point as well. I've got to find Emu oil😉
I really love these tips and I am definitely going to continue to grow my hair long. Very motivating, thanks.
Thank you for the great info. Praise God that he is in your life, I am so happy to see your results, I've been doing the same as u mentioned and it really works eating healthy and just making your body healthy inside and out. Putting the Lord 1st above it all key. God Bless keep doing a great work!
You are such a blessing. 1st what you said about making your hair your God. I was beginning to do that. Thank you for bringing me back girl. 2nd that there's hope for my bald spot. I just noticed how I have a pretty large on in the front of my head. This gives me hope that I can grow the hair back. Thank you, and be blessed.
So happy I found your channel! I noticed last week that i too have a balding crown :( similar to your experience from a picture a friend took... Im going to be giving castor oil a go and stop wearing my hair in buns since Iv done this for years and abused my hair, started taking care of my hair with no heat for about 2 years and its only now Im seeing the damage of all those years... Thank you for this video, and your super pretty too!!! :)
I thank God and you!.. You blessed me and reminded me that the total body health brings honor to God.
thank you for sharing your journey with us as well as the great tips. your results are amazing! God bless!
Wow, incredible results, and you are cute as can be!! Thank you for sharing your experience and regimen with everyone.
Wow, I enjoyed your video. I am thankful for your post and information you shared!
Your results are amazing! Thanks for the tips!
Great knowledge my sister keep people informed
Excellent video! You've given a lot of women hope!
Sometimes I see me self getting obsessed with healthy hair, you just reminded me ...I need that !!!!
It depends on what you need the oil for.. but some light oils are black currant seed oil, evening primrose, and flaxseed oil.
Thank you so much for the video and all the research, I've got thinning on my temples, I'm going to try your regimen!
I love, love the thoroughness of your videos! This is very educational. Evaluation of our diets and our exercise habits is great. Good blood flow is critical. You are a catalyst in this learning process about my hair. Thanks so much! Glad I found your videos and subscribed. Bless you; be encouraged!
Great video! This helped a ton for me (: I knew a little about what I needed to do, but this entire video was so thorough and informative and I learned so much. Another factor that usually affects people is sleep, because when you're sleep deprived your body is under stress and stops sending nutrients to your scalp to grow hair. Because like you said, hair is not essential to the body. (Source: Belgravia Centre)
stephene125 Sooooo true!!!! My body had become toxic due to my diet and I know that played a major role in my hair loss. Once I started eating better and drinking more water, my hair started coming back FASTER using the things I talked about in the video.
shalenadiva I am one of those who don't drink NEARLY enough water, but I am now so desperate regarding my hair loss and shedding that I will definitely buckle down and start drinking away!! Thanks so much for all the other tips too!
Please check out my RUclips
Lisa Smith I feel you Lisa......water and fresh fruits and veggies are so important. I need to drink more water too.
Brooke Adrianne HAHAHA! I have been sick recently, and now my daughter is giving me the "water" talk.....telling me how I need to drink more water and I'm probably a little dehydrated as well and how I should be ashamed of myself, being a nurse and all....but NEVER drinking water like I should! She's 25...and I couldn't get mad at her, because she was absolutely correct! Soooo last night I drank the cup of water she poured for me! She wouldn't go to bed until I finished most of it in front of her! :)
Thankyou for this video i am doing the exact same treatments & water,vitamins& minerals & also taking a vegan protein powder,Ive been looking for some confirmation that i am on the right track,I have prayed and listened & God has shown me the way God Bless
AMEN!!! Good for you. I am so happy that you are finding YOUR way. I'm glad thsi video has helped you. BOOM
thanks I already do half of these things. I only drink water and cranberry juice .I do take fish oils ,the emu oil really didn't help me .I will try the castor oil ,my crown is balding and like you I've prayed that Jesus would give me wisdom ...thanks a lot
Look into Amla too. Indian Gooseberry.
