I have this condition. It is very depressing. Im an older lady. I pray for everyone who has this.

Truth. I caught it in time thank God. You r speaking the truth. My doctor was beyond kind and empathetic. Put me on minoxidil and antibiotics. Worked 💯. Plush diet change to correct inflammation my diet was pretty good to begin with I also do D3 and essential vitamins. Hair has grown bck thick and lush no fall out. Beyond grateful. 🙏🏾 I am 64 and very happy with the progress.

I’m so glad to see someone who looks like me talking about this in detail. Thank you. ❤

I’m so thankful for you! I tried a Dermatologist and she was so basic. She was white and I feel like she didn’t understand our texture. I’m going to find another doctor, thank you! 💜

Thank you for this helpful and comprehensive video! In case the following info helps anyone: vitamin D3 is called a "vitamin" because the body can't make it on its own, but vitamin D3 is actually a steroid hormone, which is crucial for the immune system to function properly. The darker your skin is, the more sun exposure you need for your body to make vitamin D3. So if you have dark skin and live in a northern climate, you'll likely require more vitamin D3 supplementation than someone with light skin. This is for the same reason as "black don't crack." Melanin blocks UV rays, and in doing so, makes less vitamin D3. The skin depends on UV rays to synthesize vitamin D3. In my opinion, this is why blacks were disproportionately impacted by the 2020 virus. Too much vitamin D3 is bad, too. So it's important to get the dose right and check blood levels regularly. I wish this were common knowledge in the black community, because unless you spend hours year round under the Saharan sun, you might be deficient in a vital steroid hormone. Also, vitamin K2 tells the D3 where to go in your body, and it's usually important to supplement with magnesium as well, because the higher your vitamin D3 levels go, the higher your calcium levels go, and magnesium and calcium should be in balance. Thank you again for the super helpful video! I'm looking into pumpkin oil right now.

Very helpful video! This condition is so frustrating but as you stated, consistency is key! ❤️

Your curls are gorgeous, thanks for information

I think that searching for doctors willing and knowledgeable to help you causes stress that will cause more hair fall, so I would rather not go that route and just rely on destressing, vitamins, good nutrition, yoga, and other potent types of exercise, such as rebounding on a mini trampoline for one. Jumping on a trampoline gives me a lot of energy, makes me feel good, and improves my weight and sleep. So, I don't want to worry about my hair and just take my mind off it. I try to avoid bad news, fear, complaining, anger, hurtred, and all negative things as much as I can. 🧡 After taking pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto caps, Geritol, Blood Builder vitamin, and turmeric caps for 1 month so far, and also shampooing twice a week with a folliculitis shampoo, moisturizing my scalp with Jamaican Black Castor Oil hair grease, and eating sardines every day, I'm seeing much less hair fall. Almost none and my thinning area appears to be getting thicker. Fortunately, I have some hair in the front to cover the wide alopecia line on top and hope that it will grow eventually.

Agreed! My dermatologist did a biopsy and sent it to Mayo Clinic, so I got the right diagnosis right away!

I just came from the dermatologist and received the diagnosis. My locs of 7 yrs started to thin and break off on the top. In my case, 90% of the women in my family suffer with some form of hair loss. I am hopeful that I can break the cycle. Thanks for sharing and your hair looks great!😊

Very good 👍🏻 The science behind conditions is so helpful.

very good advises. specially washing every week.

Soooo helpful ❤

Thank you sooooooooo much for sharing. I am currently going through this after thinking it was postpartum hair loss for the last 3 years. I am sooooooo happy your hair grew back which gives me hope. I’m currently doing steroids injection every 6 weeks, hoping that my hair grows back too. 🙏🏼❤️

Thank u for being brave and sharing. BTW, love the hair and cat eyes 😍.

Thank you So Much for Sharing your experiences🤗

It's ironic that I did the Viviscal and OTC Rogaine and that worked! No oils, no other vitamins. However, I don't "think" that if you stopped some of the vitamins that your hair would stop growing. One, you specifically mentioned that stopping the Rogaine would make it stop and guess what...you're right. The other vitamins are good in themself but I don't think it attributes as much as the Rogaine. When I stopped the Rogaine, my hair went south. And, my hair looked EXACTLY like yours, the tight curls all over. If I could send you a picture I would. I stopped the Rogaine because of the expense and it left my scalp dry and itchy. I wanted to get off medication and take a more natural approach. Now, I use oil combinations as you mentioned, and viviscal. I did a big chop and am seeing some results although it's only been 2 months. I may (reluctantly) try the rogaine again and add drops to the oils to see if that helps but don't want to use it alone. If I choose to use this medication I want it diluted but we'll see,,,I'm going to give it 6 months and see if I can avoid using it. Thanks good video and can you show an update?

I am so glad that you shared this story and emphasizing the importance of finding another doctor when others tell you there's nothing that can be done. I have had this issue for over 10 years and it has progressed over the years. Every dermatologist told me there's nothing that can be done- I've even had primary care physicians deny me a recommendation to specialist because I was told there's not use. That being said, I appreciate all of the information you are providing and the importance of diet and nutrient supplements.

Im glad i came across your video again. I have to start taking care of myself and hair again. You convinced me again to start and continue with proper haircare and be consistent on taking my vitamins. Thank you ❤

Thank you ❤

I am so glad that I found your videos. So many days I feel like I am alone in this journey. Just recently chopped my hair because my hair started back acting up and it really hurt because my hair had been really thriving for more than 5 years. Definitely going to add the other vitamins that you take to my line up as well. Recently started with a different dermatologist that encourages more vitamin d3 and K2, less sugars and less carbs so I can control my inflammation. Thank you!

Great info

Thank you so much I believe I have the same condition I’m gonna try the stuff you said and be consistent

I've been crying for days over my diagnosis...to the point of hyperventilating and having a migraine headaches. I have CCCA, female pattern alopecia, and traction alopecia. I did my big chop and went natural over 12 years ago. Now the front, sides, and top are thin or gone. The regimen the dermatologist ordered is rather expensive on my fixed income. Looking for affordable natural 4c toupees is also difficult. I'd decided to cut down my beautiful shoulder length kinky coils to make the damage less obvious. Now I feel encouraged by your story. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. You are providing a lot of ladies with helpful information. I too had to have a biopsy on my scalp. I am thankful for my Dermatologist, she has told me not to give up.

Off subject your skin is beautiful ❤

Thank you 😊

Thank You Sis For These Tips. I Was On The Fence About The Minoxidil But l Think Now l’m Gonna Give lt A Chance. Along With The Visical l Currently Do Use All The Other Vitamins You Recommended👌🏾Also You Look Fantastic

Thank you!

Well done👍👍💝💝

This video is very helpful. I have been diagnosed with alopia but not occasionally. I went to two dermatologists, and they were no help, so now I'm waiting to get approved to see another one. I know for sure regaine didn't help when I was using. I also was using castor oil with rosemary and clove, it did slow down my hair from thinning and falling oil. It has its waves where I will be good for a few months then I have a real bad scalp flair ups, itchiness sores, and sometimes lumps. My spot is directly in the middle. When I braid my own hair I don't braid that spot because, any pulling will cause more problems. I take d3 because it was low, I'm slao trying to reduce sugar intake because I'm pre-diabetic. I will look into some of the items you suggested.

Thank You ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience and providing help to us my sister. Like you, I had some terrible doctors in the past. Can you, or anyone in the comments recommend a good derm in the LA area?

This has been a bit difficult for me to deal with over the years, but I’m glad to come across this info, as the dermatologist I saw told me that it’ll never fully fill in. It’s disheartening when doctors are discouraging like that, but seeing this gives me hope to keep at it until I see success. 🤍🙏🏻 Thank you 🙏🏻 (Watching from Argentina 🇦🇷)

Thanks for the information. I'm taking some of the vitamins you mentioned and will include the pumpkin seed oil and tumeric.

My second doctor diagnoses me with CCCA. My doctor put me on metformin and told me to use red light therapy everday. Also, she put me on oral minoxidil. She wants me to take Nutrafol daily, but it is costly, so I don't. My hair is growing back. Thank you for the tips.

Hello, I was diagnosed with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. It is causing inflammation and scarring. I take Doxycycline Hyclate capsules twice a day. I also use Clobetasol Propionate Ointment 0.05 twice a day. I am hopeful for great results. My dermatologist said the scarring spots may not grow back. She said she just wanted to stop it from spreading and keep the hair I do have.

i was diagnosed this week. My dermatologist gave me the cortisone shot in my scalp, topical steroids and oral antibiotics, She didn't mention biopsy at all.

Your skin is ❤ you're gorgeous ❤

Thanks for all the good information. I just order some of the supplements you mentioned via your links. About how long did it take for you to notice the effects of the vitamins?

Thanks for video! Your skin is gorgeous! Im dealings with this. Its heartbreaking. What is your regimen for rogaine and oils

I have this condition, but I waited to long so it spread from the middle to the top or front of my head. I tried a few steroid injections but it was painful and not guaranteed to last. I’m not giving up hope. Thanks for this detailed video. God bless you and you look fabulous!🌺

Thanks for the good info. I just got diagnosed with CCCA after having a scalp biopsy. I was put on doxycycline and an topical steroid oil. I will definitely consider taking vitamin supplements

Thank you so much for this video. I was recently diagnosed and am doing everything I can to block DHT and take care of existing follicles. I haven’t yet taken the oral rogaine my doctor prescribed because I heard it causes more hair loss at first. Did you find this was true in your case?

Great video! I also take iron, biotin, b12, vitamin D, C and protein power in my morning smoothies n tea. I also get steroid injections that definitely stop the itchiness.

Thx for info. I’ve tried some of the things you hav mentioned. I hav an appt with a derm. I fig I prob need med to heal and hopefully jumpstart hair growth. I do hair mask and all will grown, except the crown area. I appreciate ur info thx ❤

I am going to go to a doctor and see if I can do anything because I went years ago and that doctor was so rude that I was just discouraged !

Has anyone tried topical metformin? Im old so my hair loss is pretty far along but wanted to pass that along for all my beautiful young ladies suffering with this. I still pray for us too!!

Nice

Thank you for all this helpful information Kimberly. May I please ask what was your timeline to seeing your hair regrow? did a take just few months, a year, 2? thanks so much:-)

What type of dr should I see a medical dr or dermatologist, rheumatologist? This is very helpful information

Thank you for your info. What can i use for thin fine hair? I don't have alopecia

Thank you for offering free advice. I was using Rogaine and it irritates my scalp by itching. I've seen a couple of doctor, some have offered advice that you mentioned. May I ask who is your doctor? I live on the east coast. should I email you?

I feel like there’s a reason. More than known that many bw are having this.

How can I get in touch with you

this surfaced at 23 and I lost hair all over my body ,

My hair is bald but I would not take injection in my head I don't want so much thing s in my head i am trying castor oil rose merry and alovera in my head

I just found out, I dont have scarring I know this hair better grow back

Where do you live? And what’s the name of the dr you went to?

What was the last product? Sounded like rowgain?? 👍🏽

Have you ever considered or tried laser therapy?

Does anyone have issues with scarring alopecia and when using oils your skin gets irritated?

I think the injection are working even after 7 years of ccca

So did u have two forms of Alopecia because when the body produce DHT that’s androgenic Alopecia and that’s when saw palmetto is a DHT blocker

What's the name of the vitamins that u use

What I was told that my dermatologist told me the scarring would not come back kept talking about it since it was the size of a quarter it’s on the web is hair transplants don’t work I believe it was done to black women on purpose do you know anything yet women that have this, I also believe some of the damage is caused from wearing these wigs from where I don’t know and the regain and monoxidel work until you stop using it.

Do you take all of these at once before meal or after meal?

What are your thoughts on PRP?

How do you get diagnosed with this ? I think I have this 😢😢😢😢but I’m not sure

How much pumpkin seed oil you took daily

I thought I read that Saw Palmetto should just be taken by men. Not sure.

My whole crown is completely gone and my sides. I take pumpkin seed oil, zinc, saw palmetto, and minoxidil. I think it's too late.

🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

I changed my diet, and I've tried all kinds of vitamins nothing worked. My sides and crown is bald my whole head is bald. I'm using myofascial oil. I doubt if it works.
