Thank you so much❤️. You are right. There is no magic formula to thicken hair, and I'm starting to also realise that it seems nothing can fix my alopecia😞. I must admit, the back of the hair is so beautiful, but the crown and front have a mind of their own 😀. Regardless, I will hang on to them for as long as I can.

I am in the same boat so tired of trying to figure out styles dir my thin hair

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment🤗🤗🤗. Gratitude and contentment are the only ways to enjoy this journey called life.

Thank you so much 😘😘😘

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching ♥️ 😘❤️🤗

You are most welcome! Thanks for watching ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you, dear sis♥️! I'm more than happy to share my journey. Gratitude is key!

I agree! Stress and trauma is a major contributing factor for me. They can cause so much damage to the body. If only there is a magic wand to take all the stress away, wouldn't that be splendid? I guess prayer and meditation are all I can do at the moment.

Awww, thank you so much♥️♥️♥️

You are most welcome, and thank you for watching 🤗♥️🤗

Thank you so much! I'm so glad I gave you hope❤️. And I will encourage you to keep the hope alive. The first year is usually the toughest. After 1 year, it will get fuller. As long you don't have alopecia like me, you will love it.🙂

Thank you so much🙂♥️🙂

Thank you so much, much love to you too❤❤❤

Thank you so much ❤🤗♥️

You are so welcome ❤

@@tinnuola You have a new subscriber! I’ll be starting soon. Did you braid a little first and then twist the rest?

Thank you for subscribing, Zee❤! I started with 2 strand-twists. Then, I kept maintaining them with a palm-rolling method to this day.

@@tinnuola Thanks you for responding. Your journey has been helpful to me. I understand all hair types and issues are different, but this page will be informative to me.

@zeetomas4039 Thank you so much! I'm always happy to hear that my video is helping someone out there🙂.

You are very welcome, thank you for watching❤😘♥️

At home, I wear my satin cap or nothing at all. But when I'm stepping outside, I ALWAYS cover the bald spots. When my locs were shorter, I wore wigs. Now that they are longer, it is a bit more difficult to wear wigs, so I use a big headband to cover the bald spots, or I tie my head wrap. I will probably create a video illustrating this someday, fingers crossed 🙂. Thank you for watching❤.

It is extremely stressful. I try not to think about it. I maintain the hair and get busy with other things. If I'm stepping out, I grab my scarf or headband to cover the bald regions.

@@tinnuola and like you say , life stresses make it worse. I feel like I’m looking at myself because this is exactly what I go through. Some months the patches look like they are growing but then back again.

Thank you so much 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much❤. Congratulations on starting your journey🤗. You've got this 👍🏾.

Thank you so much. I should probably research how to perform a blood detox. Peace and blessings to you too🤗

For the blood detox she bought herbs. I got mine from Amazon called Tealyra Blood Cleanser tea

You are very welcome Sis. Her video is called HOW I HEALED MY DAUGHTER ALOPECIA AREOTA NATURALLY by Khamleon Kay. Hope that helps. Be blessed.

Thank you so much, sis ❤​@ahavahyasharal5643

My Trichologist suggested it but it is way too pricey to pay out of pocket for PRP. My health insurance does not cover it. Also, she could not assure me if it would work, so God knows how many sessions I would have to undergo before we see results.

You are most welcome ♥️. Thank you for watching 🤗🤗🤗.

Thank you so much♥️. Yes, I have been working on my diet for years now, not only because of my scalp but because I also have PCOS. So I completely quit animal milk, I hardly eat anything that contains gluten, and I hardly fry my food. One time, I tried keto but I didn't enjoy it and it was too expensive so I returned to a low carb diet. Trust me, I have tried all kinds. In regards to my hormones, I believe my diet is helping, but in regards to my scalp, I think there's permanent damage in most areas, and I can't reverse it. I currently see some parts growing back with the help of Rogaine and some medications. I will talk more about this in a future video.🤗

@@tinnuola 💜🤗

Hello sister, your locs are beautiful. May I ask, have you tried allowing your locs to grow without retwisting? Semi- freeforming and only separating without retwist could help. This may decrease the tension on your scalp. I wish you well on your journey. Peace & Blessings ❤

Thank you so much🤗. Freeforming is something I have considered lately. I experimented with doing that recently. I did not retwist for approximately 5 months, but I noticed that my locs started to thin out, I lost some locs. However, I combined some locs and started new baby locs. But I'm still thinking that long term, I may have to completely leave the front to free-form while I keep retwisting the back. It sounds like a really good idea👍🏾

Thank you watching 🤗♥️🤗

Thank you so much♥️. Yes, I have considered it. As a matter of fact, I stopped retwisting a while ago, but due to this decision, I have lost about 3 locs because the growth cycle of my hair is short, so the roots of my hair are detaching from the locs. However, I don't mind because I intend to combine the weak ones to my stronger locs, but if I lose too many, the locs will have to go. In regards to my bald spots, unfortunately, I have had them for more than a decade now, long before I started my loc journey.

@@tinnuola😢😢😢you have the same struggles as me. It’s like I’m watching myself. some months are ok and looks like it’s growing, and then boom patches appear. The back is rich like yours but my crown is exactly like yours😢😢😢I’m even scared to retwist now coz people stare and I’m tired of explaining 😢

@lerato_c Hmm my dear, I totally feel you! I'm sending online hugs your way🤗🤗🤗. Some people ask me why I cover my hair so much. They are starting to think that I'm muslim😄. As Latonya advised, I stopped for awhile. My last retwist was in December 2023. I also created some baby locs (for the ones I lost), and I plan to retwist this weekend or next. If your scalp issue only started recently, quickly nip it in the bud and run to a specialist. Mine is a little too late now, and I have made peace with it 🙂. I just need to decide if I want to keep rocking locs and covering the affected parts or completely cut them and return to wigs. I will decide by the end of this year. Much love to you♥️.

@@tinnuola 🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽Thanks again. I’ve struggled for years with alopecia so ya it’s a bit late. I was rocking bald look for a couple of years and starting grow in my hair in 2021. I’ll see how long I can do scarfs/bands and occasionally I’ll do wigs

Thank you for your advice❤. I'm currently using the Rogaine foam. I'm also taking spironolactone and a compounded oral minoxidil.

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I am currently taking Oral Metformin and Spironolactone. My dosage for Spironolactone recently finished but I am still taking the Metformin.

The video is long but just the first couple of minutes you can observe the pictures and her talking about the use of the oil

Thank you so much. I will take a look soon😘😘😘

Thank you🙂. I had about 97 locs, but over the years, I combined some of them, so at this time, I probably have between 80 and 85 locs. I stopped counting.

Question., I’m 6months in,but I hair cannot keep a retwist what can I do,? I normally Palm roll or use the comb., now I’m thinking to go interlocking method to hold down my root

For starter locs, crochet method is a very good idea if you find a great loctician. Interlocking is also good if the stylist doesn't make it too tight to the scalp. I noticed that most people run into a similar issue as yourself, especially when they begin with a palm rolling method. I started with 2 strand twists, and sometimes, it would come loose, but it was easy for me to just twist it back.

@@tinnuola thank you very much

Do you mean CCCA? Yes, it is a type of hair loss.
