You asked for advice: I would urge you to go to a stylist to trim your hair. The stylist would give you an outside, independent assessment of your hair's condition, trim it thoroughly, and that's what you need. Secondly, I would reduce the protective styling. Thirdly I would carefully watch my diet and cook my own meals (you probably do this already) and move away from the vegetable and canola oils.
I’m going through the same thing. Had a protective style in my hair for months and just took it out. It’s so thin and damaged now. Now I have to go on a 6 month repair. I cut my ends, but I might go get a professional trim done and go from there.
We do too much to our hair, try too many products . Too much protein is not good for our hair. The main thing to do is just keep it clean, use a wide tooth comb, and be gentle with our hair. Show it some love ❤️ and it will show us love in return.❤❤
This is what I am dealing with. I have been doing protective styling and my hair is so dry. I am going to continue on with the protective styling until it's warmer.
@@WaldiaBynes we all do. I am so tired of seeing my hard work and progress end up in the trash I am starting a new 2 step process for my protective style takedowns. Day1 - focus on takedown, cowash with conditioner only for detangling in small sections. No shampoo whatsoever. Then 2-3 days later - focus on entire wash day routine starting with shampooing, etc, etc.
I just screenshot this comment because I will definitely share in my next video. This suggestion is very helpful and I think this will work for me. Wow thank you so much for this. I always try to cram everything in one day smh.
I feel you big time. Used to have thick full 4c hair... then I got tired so I did a taperred cut (shave!!)... Many dyes, childbirth, braids, no QT and TLC for my hair years further...its a hot mess...I look at old pictures and just feel sad. Thinking about a 3th big chop, finding a good routine and actually trying to stick to it brought me here.
This happened to my hair, I now strongly believe it’s due to me protective styling. My hair used to flourish when I just wore it out. I hate to see my protective styles go but they really caused my hair to thin and break cuz my hair would be dry and my scalp would hurt so now I’m trying to find a way to style my now neck length 4c hair (I cut it several times cuz I didn’t understand why it was growing in thin, I fixed my supplement intake and proper breathing!) , now I will massage every other day to relieve tension and in the weekends my head will be free, I have to think of a style for throughout the week that suits me
Trimming is indeed step one but I’m done trimming now, I used to overtrim, so now it’s low tension, low manipulation + occasional trims and wash every 2 weeks , I used to underwash and it just contributes to the soreness of my scalp
Thank you for sharing the damage in your hair, its showing me where I messed up with mine and it taught me a lot. Btw, your hair still looked gorgeous 🥰
Thanks girl for sharing, I did the same thing with crochet braids I cut a whole braid out🤦🏾♀️ so disappointed in myself but I’m going to grow it back. I do not plan on cutting any of it at all. I’m going to just grow it out. Many blessings to you on your journey
I too just cut 1 of my braids. I literally almost had a whole melt down. I had JUST gotten to armpit length. My heart was aching for a good weak before I decided to suck it up and get to work💪🏾 Babyyyy when I tell you I'm about to LOVE on my hair like never before. Good luck to everyone on their journey no matter where you're starting from ❤✊🏾
Camila rose ultimate hair growth oil is amazing one week of moisturizing my scalp every other day and it was blossoming visibly which is hard to see. Especially if you’re in the 1st stage of the hair cycle
I am so happy to see your back sis I have missed your tutorials!! I think you should go to a professional just for peace of mind that it's cut evenly. Your hair is definitely thick and has grown once the ends are clipped it will be fine.
Tbh, the broken spots do not look like you accidentally cut it. It would be more blunt. That is from ongoing damage. I'd let a professional cut the troubled spots because trying to style damaged hair is a pain in the butt. I just took off 2-3 inches from my hair because I was being stubborn and delayed my trim too long.
How is your hair? Try the water only method. It’s amazing. The products you are using, check the labels and google the damage they do. God bless you and your beautiful hair.
Professional cut recommended for a good based to build back your hair 🙂. Also agree with the use of ayurvedic ingredients, I would recommend Fenugreek and Alma.
My hair was damaged 2 years ago I cut it bald headed. Now my hair is growing. I use olive oil and rosemary oil I wash my hair with water only. Then go in with my oils, shampoo, conditioners I barely use them.
I have worn locs for the past 4-5 months as well and had this same problem I only cut my hair once but the thinning through our my hair is weird it makes it looks like I have heat damage and I don’t... My twistouts were looking terrible. So of course I cut it but I feel like I need to cut more off cause I still have some straggly looking ends but won’t worry about it now since I’m getting color I’ll have fun for a bit and go back to being healthy later. I wouldn’t be in this boat if it wasn’t for the locs I’m still puzzled on why my hair reacted like this to them.
Happy New Year. I'm so glad that you're back. Design Essential line did nothing for my 4C hair. Maybe you can do bigger twists and Bantu knots. I learned the hard way. Protective styles are cute, but they do tend to make you lazy about the health of your own hair. You'll figure it out. I hope that you and your family are doing well.
I’m a boy and I have had my hair without a hairstyle for a month without it getting it combed out and I just got it combed out and don’t get it twisted she took her time it’s just I had so much breakage and split ends I lost around 4 inches on a piece of my hair😊
Have you thought of trying Olaplex? It's on the pricey side, but it'll definitely get your hair in better shape! Maybe only get No 3 and the leave-in (use that before sealing with grease). Best of luck 🥰
I just used Olaplex No. 0 and No. 3 together and my hair is definitely stronger and breaks off less with gentle hair practices but I think a shape up would also be good when you’re ready. Also personally after using Olaplex, and being, 2 weeks out since the treatment, I feel like I wouldn’t then use rice water or another strengthening treatment I think it would be too much and dry the hair out. Olaplex will definitely strengthen but I think a good trim and cut(shape up) would help the hair to have more evenness and volume.
My hair stylist always blowdries my hair before braiding. I've noticed that my hair has lost the afro texture and it looks unhealthy even though it's perfectly trimmed. Any advice?
Girl we are in the same boat. I have not been kind to my hair . I needed a trim months ago. I needed that blow dryer so thank you for showing it again.
@@favorednatha226 It's a rubber comb attachment by Willie Morrow, the great inventor of the afro pick! My blow dryer is 1800 watt by Conair but it fits on any blow dryer with a long nozzle because it has a clamp that adjusts to the size of the nozzle! It's been out since the eighties! I got mine's from Amazon years ago! It's still about $20! It's better because it's so strong that the teeth don't brake! I also used duck or gorrilla tape because it's over 15 years old, it's time for a new one, lol, and I didn't have the right detangling products for my 4c , with very crazy shrinkage hair, and it would pop off sometimes but now I'm using Curl Peace line that contains marshmallow root and I don't have tangles like that anymore! It's great line of products! PS When I get my new blow dryer comb I won't need the tape because it worked fine for over ten years by itself!
Girl this happens to the best of us . I trashed my hip length hair. Left braids up for 2mths . It got matted a nightmare on Elm street for real. Once the water hit it. I want to go back to sleep just to kick his a$$ .Girl cut your own hair.
I did not take care for my hair for almost 2 years(did not cut my ends,did not even know what a conditioner is...).So my hair is pretty much damaged right now.Even though I have long hair now,the lenght of almost 2/5 or even more of my hair is shorter then the half of the normal hair, because I have a lot of breakage.Is there a possibility to save my hair,if I really take care of it, without cutting it?What I was thinking was that I maybe could take care of it and after a certain time the damaged hair will reach the length it was supposed to have.and by always cutting a little bit of ,after a certsin time all my hair will have the same lenght again.Is this realistic?
Great video!!! I’ve come across this hair cars line but never tried it. I have 4C hair as well and always looking for products that work best on my texture. Thanks for sharing
I permed my hair 8 month ago and its really damaged and i dont know what to do...its breaking...it feels light its always tangling😭😭everything is a mess
You seem so unhappy about you hair in this video and it’s understandable but you hair didn’t break you cut it, i think u need a professional to assess the problem and come up with a better solution than you cutting you hair off. Im goin to buy the design essential products just because it has the peppermint in it. I have itchy scalp and peppermint is great for that. Thank you.
Nooooo not mean at all. I need this input! Lol I am going to do a good trim and assess the situation again. I definitely wasn’t happy with the results but I will take the steps to figure it out. Thanksssssss boo 😘
Thx for posting this video I’ve been waiting for a good treatment shampoo/hair products 😂I’m going to o check that brand out and your hair looks good sis you are so beautiful all natural I wish I had that hair lol much love to you and your family 😂😂😍😂😍
Literally me right now.. my hair was mad thick before the pandemic.. now the front is soo thin, and im still experiencing shedding😩.. lowkey wanna cut it and start up iron and biotin supplements 😢
How is it protective when it’s literally damaging your hair? I only do mini braids with my own hair and my hair is like 1 inch away from mid back length stop doing these “protective” styles
Currently my hair 😭 Lowkey thought about shaving my head and starting all over
Me too
Me three
me four
Me five
Me six 🥲

Give your hair breaks between protective styles: sometimes the can put tension on our crown.
First time here. Give it 3-6 months sis and it will bounce back with some TLC and patience during protective style takedown.
I definitely need to be more patient during protective style takedowns. Thank youuuuu! I plan on stepping up my regimen.

Hey Waldia!!!! Welcome back!!! Try mixing some castor oil in your grease . You can also deep condition at least twice a month.
Hey heyyyy thank you! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Peppermint does provide a cooling, tingly effect on the skin.
Girl my hair is a mess as well . I’m either going to restore and loc it or shave it again
I’ve been thinking of locs as well!! Omg keep me posted please
Ur hair is beautiful. Just need some TLC😍

Aww thank you!!

Just catching up on your videos and seeing you did a protein treatment with Henna!!!
I cut a whole braid off after having faux locs, 7 moths worth of growth down the drain. So sad

I don't know what happened to my hair it's so thin now. My hair was so thick I am about to cut everything off and start over 😢
Literally me right now.. my hair was mad thick before the pandemic.. now the front is soo thin, and im still experiencing shedding😩.. lowkey wanna cut it and start up iron and biotin supplements 😢
Ik I’m late but try the betonite clay mask as well
Professional cut
im going with the rice water...maybe some eggs... i put super relaxer in my hair so... um yea
Menthol-y?
Final look is really cute, but I suggest a professional. Just to get you back on the right track.
I just wanna go bald caz I feel like I can’t save mine
Big chop it an start over
How is it protective when it’s literally damaging your hair? I only do mini braids with my own hair and my hair is like 1 inch away from mid back length stop doing these “protective” styles
I shed hair alot
U did bantu knots too small. Do them a little bigger to give as fuller look

You said your hair looks 'ok'. No, it's beautiful. I'm just telling the truth.
Tangling 😆

I didn’t see any damage. Maybe some neglect. Probably should let a stylist trim it for you.
Yeap Yeap I sure will. Thank you 😊
Go see a professional for a nice trim/cut!
Yessss ok I sure will. Thank you 🙏🏾
Did you get a trim ?
I would recommend you look into fast hair growth fortified shampoo to double hair growth.
You so funny lol
Cute tho 🦋
