y’all i got a bald spot… #NaturalHairUpdate

I have a bald spot from the Aussie shampoo and conditioner I’m soooo mad

not laughing

Hey❤

Wow literally just got my hair professionally trimmed. I had some of the same issues you expressed in the video. I actually discovered a mini bald spot on right side of edges at the top so I too will be piling and monitoring that area. *sign*. Your hair still looks pretty good though!

I have two small bald spots actually, at the crown area. So I'm re incorporating scalp massages and being more gentle with that area. I also try to do smaller sections when doing my hair there. We gone get it together, sis!! To regrowing out our bald spots ❤

Between the trim and the way you were describing your bald spot got me laughing so hard!

Thanks for the cautionary tale on your bald spot, girl! I think I might have dealt with a couple bald spots at the age of 16 from a hairstylist. I never went back to her again. Having those bald spots made me transition to going natural, and it will be 16 years this year. I love your length retention! I would continue to take a break from using direct heat and using oils.

The search for a cosmetologist is so hard. Struggle bus all the way. Would love to watch your journey cus mine was long and I'm still not sure. Waiting for my appointment 😭

From a stylist, invest in a good pair of shears, using dull scissors can also cause damage ❤ Clip Ins gave me horrible bald spots 😢

That blow dryer got your hair together so well

I haven’t trimmed my hair in a while, I was too lazy to do it after my recent wash day

There is a store off broad river rd that’s sales this hair grease called Tar. It stinks but it will get that hair back in no time. A hairstylist recommended it to me when my edges were bald and that grease got me together.

Dang! You've been really going through with your hair lately. I'm not sure if it's the case for you, but my cousin got a bald spot and found out it was because of her diet. Basically, she was trying to lose weight quickly, but she ended up cutting essential vitamins and protein which lead to hair loss. You might want to go to a doctor to see if you don't have an underlying health issue.

Girl come to my girl!! She will get you right!!

I’m trying to recover from too many slick back edge control low ponytails, my edges are soooo much shorter than the rest of my hair....it’s always something 😂😂

I hope that your hair grows back in no time. Tfs.

Was probably the pony tail not the braids 😂😂😂” and I ooop “ girl I tried not to laugh. But I hope it grows fast!

Sorry that this happened to you that’s crazy like I said using oil will definitely grow it back. I can see where it could’ve possibly came from now that I’m watching the video.

Tbh, trimming your hair isn't as important as people push it. Also, scalp massage with rosemary or bhringraj oil every 2 to 3 days

Sorry. It happens to the best of us, you take care of it so well. But don't worry, It'll grow back❤️ it's just a bad phase

I am sorry to hear about the bald spot, I hope it grows back soon. Your so strong, I love you !

Ooh no!! Sorry you’re going through that! I’m staying away from tension hair styles this year and no braids unless I do them myself. I just cut off all my split ends. I realized I wasn’t trimming enough and now my ends feel amazing. I’m rocking mini twists for the time being hoping to retain some length.

Reshae- The struggle is real, esp. for we fine stranded sistas! Recommend you mix black jamaican castor with organic rosemary oil and peppermint oil an gently massage area in the am and pm, wear a cornrow down the middle and down each side and rock a low bun, which you can switch from middle to each side weekly for a few months AND, go ahead a be aggressive with your trim (once I did this, I was able to retain the length). The dusting does not stop the splits you cannot see without magnification. Hope you get your hair back soon!

I realized I had a small bald spot like 3 months ago in the bang area, was devastated 😢

You definitely need more trimmed off. Those ends are gonna keep splitting up the shaft and then you'll have to get a haircut...🙈 Soultanicals have a BLOOM line that would be perfect for that spot. The ingredients in it are top notch for growth. It's sold out right now but they'll probably bring it back because it was in demand the first time they put it out for sale.

That happened to me it will grow back . I got it from tight high ponytails and keeping it in that style for more than a week.

Girl you're dusting them ends lol. I know the feeling of wanting to keep length but the see through ends needs to go❤️

I feel like you could definitely do it yourself and not a professional trim. The damage is clear and the shape isn't difficult so just cut where you see the thinning

I have a very similar situation. I noticed about 4 years ago that suddenly I was tender headed in the same spot and my edges started to thin. I immediately stopped putting in crochets and just wore twist with my natural hair. It didn’t get better after 2 years and then I finally talked to my doctor about it. I ended up going to a dermatologist that said I have alopecia. I did steroid shots, prescription shampoo and ointment for about a year. She wanted me to use Rogain but I chose not to. Unfortunately, I still have the bald spot and I can see my parts are spreading like yours. I just started using rosemary oil, hoping it helps. I recommend you talk to your doctor just in case there is an underlying issue.

@SlimReshae Hi, Im about to get a drawstring pony tail with the comb attatchments? what is the difference between a drawstring ponytail and a wraparound pony with bundles (as you described, and led to bald spot)????

It’s not funny but you’re hilarious 😂

Delaying the inevitable will only make you have to take off more in the end.

Sorry to hear about the spot! Sounds like you know where the breakage came from so good luck. It’ll come back

Tfs

I dont think you trimmed anything 😂😂😂😂😂. Omg lmaooooooo

Baby, your hair still giving hunny!!! ❤❤❤

My hair is just like hers it's very curly but it's fine so I don't wear box braids because it will break my hair off bad. 😢

Hey Sis, ive been trimming my hair for many years now.
Some tips I have are to buy hair sheers for your trims and to just go head and trim the thin part. You'll be able to detangle with ease and my next month it will likely be right back there.
I've always been tenderheaded, but taking your time and finger detangle before you use a detangling brush. Never move your curly hair into a new a style without spraying your hair with a bit of water. Another big tip that has helped me is deep conditioning weekly or biweekly, light protein treatment monthly and switch up your parts all the time. That's SOOOO important. Good luck, praying for your hair growth journey!

If you start doing Ayurveda head massages it’s going to help you grow your hair back fast I promise you it helped me

That was not a trim, that was a graze 😂😂😂
