Bingo

Agreed

& to keep them very moisturised

Matted?? Yh you're clearly not black if these styles matt you're hair. Clearly not for you these style.

Clove can be made into a tea so your hair can almost not shed

If you wash it with clove water or star anise water. Rice water and coffee are good for stimulating hair growth. After I use coffee grounds I save them and add them to rice and the water from that is restorative

check your iron and ferritin levels. I used to shed so much but since I increased my iron levels my shedding has decreased immensely

Do a black tea rinse that alway sets me right. I had this issue too and I was terrified but the tea rinse worked

@@EssenceEtienne THANK YOU *SOOO* MUCH!!!! Seriously, love love to you!!

Do you have any advice on which brand is the best for thin 4C hair with high porosity ?☺️

i’m wanting to get them! how should i take care of them?

I don't think so. Her hair is LONG and dense. Her hair is twice as long as mine. I have about that much shedding after 4 weeks.

​@@LadybeetleMaddoxher hair is healthy. Get over it

​@LadybeetleMaddox 🤦 when they think it's normal to lose 100 strands a day, you just gotta let them be.....

@@JeneanWilliamsit is lmaooo. But you can also shed hair for many different reasons with protective styles such as dry ends, SHEDDING, stress, the hair products you use, and etc. Its normal lmaoo, I’ve seen more hair being shed than that. Y’all act like everyone’s hair will shed the same amount and it won’t. Her hair is healthy, y’all want to be the hair judge to bad

@@LadybeetleMaddoxshe literally just said she had the braids in for a month. so if you have *shorter* hair & shed the same amount then it means she actually shed less than you?…

Gorgeous Afro Latina.

Black girls are pretty

​@@Orlanzepol123Gorgeous African American girl, black girls are pretty.

@@sduolcepoh7502she’s not African American though she’s Afro Latina and you don’t need to pretend she represents you to feel better about yourself, all women including you are beautiful in their own right

​@@Mary-rp2reand you are from where to be be inserting yourself

Facts I was one of those people

😊

My thoughts 😊

This is what I do! I actually use an oil And take down with oil! Minimal shedding for me!😊

Um 5 years to shoulder length? You might want to reevaluate the protective styles you’re doing

This is exactly why I want to do the big chop. I want to start all over. I have so many split ends. I tried to explain this to the woman who did my hair before she installed any braids 😢 Idk anymore lol

😂so true

But a lot of women wear cornrows under their wigs, too. Helps maintain length and can switch up styles often.

@@StarC2233 My guess is that their hair gets hot under those wigs so gets excessively sweaty. Are most of them moisturising their hair under the wigs? Either way, less is more...

@@myafrosheenI’m wearing a protective style rn (crochet braids) and my hair has cornrows underneath but I keep them moisturized 3 times a week and it never fails me.

Everyone isn't as privileged as you & not having fake hair isn't a flex. You could have a health problem at any point. People don't only wear these things for vanity. The presumption of that, is very self exalting. Protective means different things to different people @#Don't judge!

@@AB-ib3nf: You’re jumping to conclusions. I’m not flexing *or* judging. I’m talking about terminology. People only think of added hair when they talk about “protective styles”. And a lot of people are now saying “protective styles aren’t always protective”, because lace fronts, feed-in braids, faux locs, sew-ins, etc., can sometimes cause thinning, hair loss, or traction alopecia. At the same time, many people (Cardi B, Angela Simmons, etc.) experience increased length retention because of wearing wigs and added hair. But given that there are other protective styles and other ways to protect the hair over extended periods that *don’t* require added hair and that are less likely to cause damage to the hair follicles, there should be alternate terminology to illustrate the distinction between the two so people can know exactly what a person means when they say “protective style”. I refer to styles using added hair as “protective styles”, and I refer to hairdos that don’t require added hair, yet also help minimize damage, as “preventative styles”. The same problem exists with the term “co-wash”. To most people, it means “washing” your hair with conditioner. Well, conditioner does not and cannot “wash” hair because it contains no surfactants. On the other hand, you have co-wash products that *are* cleansers and *can* wash the hair, but most people don’t think of those when they use or hear the term “co-wash”. To distinguish between them, I, personally, use the term “co-wash” when referring to using an actual co-wash product, and “co-rinse” when it comes to “washing” hair with conditioner.

@@hereforit2347can you please name some examples of preventative hairstyles (without added hair)?

@@gloriamensah8900: Crown braids and twists or any plaited, corn rowed, twisted, or flat-twisted styles, especially those that allow you to pin up the the length of your hair. Of course, these styles normally don’t last as long as long as styles incorporating added hair. The trick is making them last at least 3-5 days. Some, of course, can last a couple of weeks. Some you can do yourself and others may require a skilled professional. It’s also important to make sure as little tension as possible is put on your follicles, i.e., they should never pull or cause pain. For me, wearing my hair In several plaits under a well-styled head wrap is also an option. In 2022, I purchased my first wig. It has bangs and doesn’t require glue. I just have to pull it on. That falls under the “protective style” umbrella, but it’s damage-free. Some people like to stretch their hair by blow drying before before styling. I don’t because I try to use heat as sparingly as possible.

I love your input… very informative

That's definitely not 4c hair

And?

L M F A O !!!! 🐑

Ok?
