Hi, My scalp has been burning for a few years. I don't know what's causing it but my Derm has prescribed a Shampoo and ointment. It doesn't help for more than a few days then I have to repeat. No hair loss/thinning it just seems to grow slower. Please how do I stop my scalp from burning? Idk if I'm missing any nutrients or what is causing this. But I know that I'm premenopausal. Thank you.
@@sweetpfitkerr7875 did the Derm check for inflammation? Any diagnosis. It could be many things the culprit such as beauty products like shampoos, plant-based products or fragrances, preservatives or chronic stress.To get to the root of the problem a consultation is needed to ask all the questions and seek a solution. Just too much to write. Sounds to inflammatory. Holistic treatment help if the prescription isn’t working. If interested in a consultation visit my website. Thanks for commenting.
The unspoken cause of alopecia in black women coukd be auto immune disorders. I had severe burnand itching in the center of my head.had been diagnosed with traction alopecia. Even though i didn't put tension on the crown of my hair at all. Then I started having a problem with my small finger and was actually dx with Sjogen syndrome. Which is an autoimmune disease in the same category of rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. It can can cause hair lost. First step is to get bloodwork to check for any underlying issues. If you have a abnormal ANA then its best to see a rheumatoid arthritis provider because the issue may be more serious than hair loss. The burning sore scalp is inflammation and should be addressed by a doctor.

Thank you so much my daughter and I was just talking about my hair. I'm having traction alopecia for some years now. I hate wearing my natural hair because it's gray and thining. But my scalp feels horrible. I'm definitely going to give my hair a break and find some natural styles with little to no tension. I'm 45yrs old and I know I messed my hair up.

Thanks for your comment. I am very familiar with Isaiah 3:17 But I am also careful to not assume some suffering is because they are disobedient/curse. In Job 4 his friends assumed such. I keep in mind Isaiah 55:8-9 God's ways and thoughts are higher than mine. I appreciate your post because I love the word of God. And Each person must examine themselves seeking God if there be any offense Ps 139:23-24. God bless you continuously.
@@SkegeeAce yes, the signs reveal to us there’s issues happening under the scalp but unfortunately many ignore it and deal with the uncomfortable feelings and warning. There is no convenience nor cute style worth losing hair for. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please subscribe, like and hit the notification bell if you haven’t for more information.

Great information, thank you. I’ve been natural since 2011 and I used to get my hair straightened all the time, but I stopped. Now I mainly wear twists & my hair is growing. Do you have a recommendation to keep my hair moisturized when it’s twisted?

Hi Kimberly, thanks for watching. I do have a video Conquer Menopause Hair Loss. I was experiencing thinning hair from menopause too. If you haven't I suggest get a physical and blood work to make sure there are no deficiencies or underline medical conditions. full balanced meals is everything and supplements (vitamins & minerals) with a DHT blockers. Hair care is very important shampooing weekly with a thinning shampoo and I also use Olaplex #4 (strengthening) and I deep condition every wash, keep hair moisturize as needed and opt for low maintainance styles. In my description I have a link to my website the supplements and topicals I use that has help me and my patients. I have more information on IG. instagram.com/xplicithairstudio/ addressing menopausal hair loss (thinning). If you need more assistance I offer hair consultations that include a treatment plan. All my information is in the description box. Stay calm stress isn't good. Please let me know if this helps. Take care
the best benefits is not to over use, I tried to use it on my hair a couple times a week I personally didn't need it that much. But to detangle and leave on 30 minutes before my wash my hair seems to like that. Best wishes and thanks for watching
Hi De’Borah!! Do you have curly stylist/trichologists in your network in other cities/states specifically for me in (Saluda) SC in the 29138 area??? Or Greenwood SC 29646???
Thank you for doing this topic . There has been so much going back and forth on the oils on your hair as you stated at the beginning of your presentation, now that I know there can be a benefit using the correct oils , it`s time to try it out. 😊
Please don't use essential oils undiluted (neat)... you could cause burns to your skin. If using e.o.'s add them to a carrier oil like coconut, olive, jojoba, or castor and not more than 2%
Thanks for great advice. I had issues with hair then shortly after psoriasis. It was devastating. Consultation w a dermatologist and a trichologist. I found out i did have medical issues and my hormones were thur the roof. With care and treatment. My hair is doing well. My psoriasis is gone ( hoping to stay in remission.) My hair is now relaxed low manipulation. The only thing for me is a lot products natural or otherwise i am allergic to Aloe vera, vit.E, and quite a few others. People tend to forget about allergies. So important to know if a reaction is topical or systematic.
Thank you for sharing as well I’m glad that you were able to able to resolve your hair and scalp concerns. Many people are allergic to plant based products and essential oils. Hormones unbalanced cause several issues that’s why it’s important to get annual checkups and blood work to rule out any underlying issues. Stay tune for more videos and freebies coming soon.
Two-strand twists are so much better for my natural hair, personally. I love braids but after wearing them back-to-back last summer, my hair became so thin and weak. A trip to the dermatologist revealed that I had alopecia. I'm not saying the braids caused it, but they certainly did not help. The doctor advised me to not wear braids and to never use synthetic braiding hair because not only are the chemicals in that hair toxic, but she said some of that hair contains fiberglass! She put me on a regiment of prescribed hair oil drops and Nutrafol which did stop the hair loss, however, some spots are permanent. If you see any bald spots, go see a dermatologist before it's too late!
Love the two strand twist. I’m glad you were able to restore your hair. As a Trichologist I help women like yourself restore their hair. Therefore I am very cautious in choosing non-toxic products in my salon and clinic. And your right the synthetic hair are not created equal. Best wishes to your continued healthy hair journey
I can't wear any braids at all no matter how loose. My daughter braided my hair to try a simply crochet to cover my thinning, and my scalp hurt so bad then I started feeling bumps and scabs. Took out. I just can't do them anymore. loose flat twists.
I see your white coat. Are trichologists on the same level as a doctor? Do you work under the supervision of a dermatologist? Can you bill health insurance for your services?
We’re Not on the level of medical Physician. But we are in the science of hair. Using Trichoscope to look at the health follicles and scalp disorders. We are considered Para-medical because we can identify various of alopecia’s and scalp disorders but can not diagnose people I sent them to a physical and they confirm after I’ve done the leg work. I holistically address issues also using my 30 years of experience of caring for hair and scalp. But if serious underlying conditions are present the physician is involved for prescriptions. I work closely with dermatologist, read blood work and to help slow down the progression of hairloss, help retain existing hair. As well as help with scalp disorders. It’s a great field the next level bridging cosmetologist to trichologist to dermatologist. I love reading medical journals and studying the science of why. Hope this helps
💫✨"A word 🗣️ to the wise is/should be sufficient," as the saying goes . . . I'd like to say to you : Thank you for the wise words! 😌 Very nice video & spot 🎯 on!💫✨
I love braids and it’s so sad because I had to say goodbye to them many years ago 😢 they look SO flattering but they are too heavy on my hair . Even when she used thin pieces for feed in box braids 😢 it rips my hair out from the roots . The pomade made by a lot of these oriental vendors have toxic ingredients . They are not healthy for the scalp at all
Oh wow you do? Hummm I am a 30 yr Master Cosmetologist and a hairloss specialist. It wasn’t an excessive amount however it was more shed hair than I am an accustom too. Me nor my clients lose that amount in a week for sure. I don’t lose that amount in a month. My biggest concern was inflamed scalp and the area of loss where the braids affected my hair. Thanks for your reply
I loved my small knotless braids but had some pretty intense itching and burning from the braiding hair. I had to dunk my head in vinegar water for at least three ten minute sessions. Then later it was only when I wet my hair in the shower and sprayed undiluted vinegar on my hair and scalp did I get complete relief. A doctor on YTB said the synthetic hair it toxic.
The braid styles are lovely but not at the risk of developing a scalp disorder or hair loss.Wow that amount of itching you experienced definitely an allergic reaction I hope your scalp is better now. I did the organic apple cider rinse too once I returned from my vacation. But My scalp continued itching so that night I took them out detox my scalp, shampoo and did blue light therapy. My scalp is starting to feel better.The hair processing is a whole another story that needs uncovering. Best wishes, Take care
I think the point she may be making is that it is for her in comparison to the 4 weeks of maintenance without the braids. she may not have lost much hair without the tension that braiding styles produce. In my experience these braiders do and use what they relentlessly want to do and use by way of cheap, underperforming products. They're about the money which is why they will provoke overbraiding and too many braids in a style. They really do not need to be excessive for the money.
@@TriciaHopeAlive yes your are right. It was a lot of hair to lose around the hair line just in the short 4 weeks. I was concerned if I didn’t take them out I might have loss more.
Hey Ms.D. So, are you using this method as a detangler, or to rehydrate? Is this the same as the loc method? My hair and Jordyns hair have both been very dry and i've tried the loc method, but it isn't working well for either of us. Heeeeeeeeelllp.
New subscriber here!!! I can feel you on the hot weather & the humidity!!!! I live in FL & its April. It's hot and humid already. During the cooler months, I prefer twists and twist outs. Spring & summer months, its back to wash and gos. I hope you make new videos soon ☺
