20 Things That BROKE MY NATURAL HAIR OFF + DESTROYED MY EDGES!! 

(For those who want an overview) 1. So many tight hairstyles 2. Hands in your hair (playing with your hair) 3. Hair rubbing against clothing causing *friction* 4. Leaving hair out (especially during winter months) 5. Back-to-back protein treatments (you need to space out your treatments) 6. Using too much heat (blow drying, flat ironing) 7. Not sleeping in a bonnet or a silk pillow case 8. Continuously slicking down edges 9. Going to the wrong people to do your hair (some aren't delicate when doing hair) 10. Denman brushes / using wrong tools 11. Chemical overlapping. Not giving hair a break after coloring. 12. Choosing length over health. Not trimming the bad ends off 13. Being rough with hair when it's wet (be gentle since hair is weak when wet). 14. Towel drying hair (hair snaps. Use cotton t shirts) 15. Take down protective styles correctly (or build up) 16. Not protecting your ends (moisturize ends, especially protective styles) 17. Neglecting hair when it's dry ( make sure to moisturize) 18. Trying to detangle dry hair 19. Ignoring the fact that your edges are thinning out 20. Over manipulation (always changing hairstyle or trying to detangle )

"another cause of my breakage....I always have my hands in my hair."......*takes hand out of hair, looks around in shame* 😂😭😭😭😭

Damn what doesn't break off ur hair

* watches video while touching my hair * 😪

I don't think people truly realize how sensitive the hairline and edges are. Constantly "slaying" your edges can be so detrimental. I stopped applying gel, combing, and brushing them and I massage my edges every 1-2 days. I'm going to take pictures once per month to track my growth.

I started losing my edges, because I always did buns with lots of gel and my hair was exposed to a lot of sun. Gotta remember to protect your hair from the blazin sun!! Especially if you from the Caribbean. 😳😳🌞🌞

i love leaving my hair out in winter time due to the lack of humidity in the hair. My trick was coating my hair and ends with that BlueMagic or pure shea butter. any grease or butter basically. and my hair stayed in tact.

i love the fact that you support other black youtubers

When I tell you the amount of times I've gone to a hairdresser and they'd detangle my hair while blow drying it, LORD. That definitely contributed to breakage in my hair, like you. Now I do my own hair.

lol basically trying to be cute breaks off your hair

"Oh hell no if anybody's gonna thin out my edges it's gonna be me"😂😂

i am SO guilty of not moisturizing my hair daily it's baaaaaaad. thanks for the tips and i will humbly accept all wisdom you have to offer

Your skin looks really amazing. Can you do an updated skin routine?

You nailed it girl. This is very informative and a great reminder.

This helped me a lot ,because it’s my first time being natural and I love touching and moisturizing my hair every day so now I know to do more protective styles

I needed a video like this. Informative. Thanks girl 😊😍

I love these videos!! Keep them coming please!!

i always play with my hair..i can't stop :(

Girl I can not give up my buns. It's so easy for work. I never tie them super tight and I always take the ponytail out at night , wear a bonnet, and rub my edges with castor oil. I also do a crown flat twist in between ponytails too for some rest.

I recently got me hair done in a sew in for my senior prom. the stylist SNATCHED my edges. 😂😂😂Gurlllll I couldn't even smile!! I've been oiling my edges to grow them back and I'm noticing results. never again an I letting that person touching my hair. it's either me doing my hair or my mother from now on. Loved your video as always ❤

I equate my love for a youtuber to my need to hear every word. If I replay the intro I heard tons of times (and I do!), then you know it's a fav.

Oh yes! U nailed it, all those tips. Thank you so much.😌❤👌

Love the video ! I love all your videos.. I really want you to do a video on how you manage being a student athlete in college it would be very helpful for me as I am a student athlete and hopefully soon to be college student athlete

Great vid sis

Thank you for these amazing tips

i can NOT keep my hands out of my hair. is it a nervous/anxiety thing? anyone able to stop doing this?

Can you please do your night time hair routine and also can you please do a video about what products you use and how to maintain and grow natural hair? Love you by the way

This was very informative! Thank you!

Mannnnn... loved this! It really helped with knowing what to do with my daughter. I have 3c and my baby girl is like yours. I’m really working on her edges. My oldest daughter and I don’t have any issues with it. But I’m really working on my baby girl to help her and I’m seeing progress. Her hair is fine, high density and very porous... and beautiful. She’s 4 and I want her to embrace her natural beauty.

I heard DAT! I got sick of hair stylist showing NO CONCERN OF BEING SINCERELY CARING! very informative!!!!!!!! love it J

Notification squad!!! ❤

Awe thanks for the shoutout babe!! & you said my name correctly! Lol the "E" is silent

Notification squad ❤️❤️

I'm so glad you mentioned you were an athlete! Would you mind doing a video on how to take care of your hair and the certain styles and protective styles that you do as an athlete!? Because I'm a college athlete and I like to weaves as protective styles because braids are too heavy! But I don't know how to take care of my hair while it's in a protective style and I'm sweating everyday. I don't think there's any videos on RU-vid help really active natural or relaxed girls out with what to do with our hair because it is different than not being athlete or as active. Thank you so much!!! I would and I'm sure many others would appreciate it. ❤️

Great video..our hair is so sensitive but worth all tbe pain

Great video! Thank you!

Notifications SQUADDDD

Lol I was just thinking about if I wanted to wear a bonnet & then you come with the facts

Obsessed with your hair😍

Great natural hair tips! ☺

Thanks for the tips! Can you please do a tutorial on this hairstyle?

thank you for the information love the video bless

I’ve never been on to play in my hair or touch my hair outside of wash day. I literally cringe when I see the hands and hair syndrome. Continue to work on that doll ❤️💕💜

Sister! You're my hair sister. My hair hates Denman brushes too. I thought it was only me since I keep hearing people brag about them on the daily. I do still use them even though my hair hates them to remove those real stubborn knots. If I'm not careful any hair that's out even while my hair is in a protective style will start to dred up. I've learned to love it during bad times like that. My wide tooth comb will miss the real bad knots sometimes.

#BeautyGang, I love your look in this video very beautiful && great tips 👍🏾💕

could you pls do a vid on natural hair care for athletes and how to protect it from the elements? that would be greatly appreciated😀

#9 stood out to me! I've experienced that

I stopped applying gel to my edges. Now I just use JBCO or Shea Butter and my edges have grown so much in the last few months.

Lol girl you were reading me throughout this video 😭 I have noticed a sudden stop in my growth

lol i was playing with my hair when you said number 2

I do be rockin my curl cap

Just to add on to number 13 comb or brush from the ends and work your way to the top

great video

I need more natural I've been for 11 or 12 years now i love it it's the products i don't use them new products i use old school products i have alot of products how do i wash my hair i liked the 20 reasons for the edges i always use a shirt to dry my hair then i don't comb it when its wet or do i use a hair dryer

I can't use denman brushes either!

I have to use a slick brush for my hair 😩 I’m in the military and have to have my hair and buns in reg... i wish my edges were stronger ..

It took me a while to get use to loose protective styles (braids and twists

Hey girl! So the Denman brushes are kind of funky. When I first purchased mine back in 08/09' when I first went natural I could not stand it.... but now they are really good for my hair. You kind of have to break it in..

Hair video for this hairstyle !!

i am also an athlete so how did you style it because im tired of getting braids for the season

You're one of some youtubers I can actually sit down and watch

Seems like everything can break your hair wow, natural hair is a lot of work

thanks I just recently went and got me some long braids down my back done by the Africans my head was hurting so bad and I knew they were taking out my natural hair I kept that style for five days after the Six-Day I took it out and you're right no more going to the beautician they don't care about our hair they want the money next customer,

can you talk about how you got your edges back and revered damage?

There's over manipulation and then nightly/detangling/moisture routine. 🤔 I feel like I need to detangle my hair and twist it back each night. I have dry scalp/eczema and my hair is manageable the next day. My hair is also very thick and maybe 4a/3c...idk. At most for wash and go's (which I rarely do) I'll wait a day or two then moisturize/seal and detangle. I just can't handle matted hair. 😅 So...I never really know when it comes to over manipulation. The Denman brush tip though...I might invest in a new detangle brush. I love my denman brush and I feel like its doing the job. Maybe I just to stop lol. I'm still new to being natural (I'm a year and 2 months). I'm glad I found your channel! ❤

I remember I was trying to take out build up one day and I was so frustrated with my hair I ranked from were there was build up to to my ends and that whole pice came out it was bad 😬

so what would you suggest to use when detangling besides finger detangling

I can unfortunately relate to most of what your talking about😂😐 Lawd know I use to jack up my hair back in the day😂😂

Denmin brushes definately break off 4c hair.

You said Denman brushes broke your hair.. what do you suggest instead of that?

*Im kinda nervous cuz I just did the big chop I'm already taking L's😬*

My Hair Came Out In The Middle A Little What Should I Do ?

You said that a denman brush was the devil for your type 4 hair, I also have type 4 hair, what should I use to detangle my hair from now on ?

During my senior year (I'm about to be a college freshman yay) I put my hair through a lot of strain and now my hair is really damaged. Now I'm going to big chop earlier than expected

I be twerking to the beats in your vid while listening to your hair advice 😅😂😂 #multitaskingwins

what products do you use on your hair ?

Great tips...how long have you been natural?

I used to use do my edges a lot, but now I only lay down my edges once in a while and my edges are getting really thick lol.

How am I suppose to take care of my hair in the winter glycerin or no glycerin?

How often do you trim your hair??

Omg I have type 4 hair and I got my hair done too tight and I have a bald patch in the middle of my hair💖💖

How often do you clip your ends ?

I love chazzz is awesome so this was recommended lol

I don't know if I missed it. Did she say how she fixed it?

BeautyGang💙 stand upppppp

Notification squad wya? 💕

What's the song that plays at the beginning?

great ⚘

"if anybody's gonna thin out my edges it's gonna be me" lmao factsss

You were just like new natural no rules. Lol. You were like I am going to do me.

Song in the background?

'Can you say breakage' 😂

@Number 15 NappyFu has a way of removing braids that ensures they slide off your strands without breakage. Consistent shampooing and conditioning when braids are on with a diluted shampoo and conditioner in a spritz bottle. I undid and detangled my straw thin twist braids within two hours...length and thickness were retained. Try it ladies:-)

Ugh I can’t sleep on my hair either. I hate it.

When should I deep conduction ?

I wanna dye my hair I little bit lighter so I can see the growth and see the breakage. Nothing too light because I don't want to have to keep dying it just until I have worked out a good hair regimen. Is that a bad idea??

Thanks for reminding to use a T-shirt and not a towel.

CRAP I'm rough when my hairs wet

My hair is so thick! I just don't know what to do.

Do headbands breakoff your edges?
