How to Actually Grow EDGES BACK| Real Dermatologists' Breakdown 

It made me so incredibly happy to be able to make this sort of video for you guys! Huge huge shout out to Dr. Heath & Dr. Mitchell. I really hope this helps you! You can subscribe if you enjoyed this type of video! and let me know if you have any other requests!(:

I love that these professional women have natural hair in display!! It’s so heart warming knowing we are representing

They need a TLC show like Dr. Pimple Popper!

I love the fact they are black women speaking on black women hair

This was the first time in my life hearing someone address the issue of hair pain in the black community. It is common to be hit or told to shut up if you object to any pain suffered by a hairstyle or creation of such as a young child. It was COMPLETELY normalized and I wonder if that dismissal of pain subconsciously taught us as adults to ignore our pain receptors and bodies when it came to our cute but super tight styles!? I thank you for this video! My mind is blown open and I cannot wait to look up a good dermatologist in my area to help with my traction alopecia struggle. THANK YOU!

This video is extremely helpful. Its so great to hear professionals opinions. Whoever’s reading this God loves you and desires you to draw closer to him. There’s a blessing in store for you. Blessings to all of you!!

SO important that they addressed the traumatic childhood hair and scalp stress we were subjected to. Whenever I complained, I was called “tender-headed”, which I learned in adulthood was completely false. My scalp is only tender if I have SCM flareups/issues. I am *so relieved and pleased* for our youth who get to flourish in this era of healthy “Black” hair care, nourishment and attention. GOD Bless all three of you women.🙏🏽💚💎

Talking about this normalization of pain I once relaxed a lady's hair and she said I wasn't doing it right because she didn't feel anything. So she didn't trust that I was doing it right, although the hair came out relaxed at the end. I treat my clients' hair the way I treat mine, I treat it with care. Everyone needs to know that it isn't everytime that pain births beauty. We really need to go easy on our hair for real.

100-150$ is not expensive at all I am so proud of them .

Omg!!!! Dr Heath is my dermatologist. She brought my skin back to life. I love her!!!! She is truly the sweetest most competent Dermatalogist I have ever met.

I was a pony tail queen for so long. I apologize edges. We going get it together! Thank you Lady's!

From a registered nurse's point of view, I felt this was extremely well done. Not trying to force certain products on people, extremely transparent, and in layman's terms. Explained so many perspectives of treatment. Now I'm wanting one of those magnificent women as my dermatologist! Thank you for creating this video. Much needed! Clear, concise and organized.

Let’s also NORMALIZE THIN EDGES! Sometimes it’s just natural to have thin edges. Even when you try to thicken them just wanted to add. 4:30

Eating Salmon, eggs and spinach has helped me, Thank You Doctors

I learned most of this working in a derm office as a MA. I’ve seen how kenalog injections help a lot and they don’t cost much as long as you have insurance. If you’re dermatologist thinks your hair loss can be internal they tend to check your iron levels, TSH and/ or testosterone levels. I tend to get traction alopecia after having a protective that’s not tight but the hair is long. Sometimes traction alopecia can happen when your hairstyle is heavy and basically pulling your hair slowly ie locs, twists or braids. I saw my mother lose her edges due to having locs for 10 years and same happened to her brother. Her decision was to cut them off and start over. Now her edges are thick and healthy.

I’m Hispanic with thick curly hair and have noticed my hairline receding and looking overall uneven. This has really helped me understand what I can do to restore it! Thank you so much

As a young black woman it’s the best to see other black women showing off their intelligence and making videos like this.❤️

LETS STOP THE NORMALIZATION OF PAIN IN THE BLACK HAIR COMMUNITY GURRLLLLLL if this is not the Truth! Hell, this ain't even just about hair! Lol ! Stop the normalization of pain PERIOD lol

I am sure a lot of people were scoffing at the potential costs of going to a dermatologist but will spend more to cover up and even worsen their problem. Get real ladies

These are all straight facts!! We've normalised pain as part of our hair and beauty practices, and this whole idea of neat edges is not good for us!

This was fascinating. The science doesnt rule out natural treatments but supported it with medical advise and proper treatments. Absolutely loved this interview.

When I was growing up, we would braid each other's hair before hair extensions became a thing, and not once was it so tight that we could not blink. lol, I don't know when we started hating our own hair and length no matter how short it was. We've gone so far from "natural" that the journey back is the result we are seeing today. We were not meant to have straight hair, blonde hair, or whatever else we are doing to our hair while damaging our scalp. Now that we've done all the damage we can do, we want someone to fix it. The best way to stop the damage is to not start in the first place. The hope is that we allow our little girls to just wear their hair naturally WITHOUT relaxing or putting weaves and hair extensions or braiding hair into their hair. We are a beautiful people and our hair is part of that beauty. We are not caucasian.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks, Seun for setting up this informative session on our edges!!!

I appreciate this information! I’m glad to see that someone is addressing this issue. I’ve been suffering from this for years.

Great panel🙌🏾! When I first developed eczema I visited two different dermatologist and they did not identify it. It took finding a Black dermatologist 👩🏾‍⚕️ for me to finally get the diagnoses and proper treatment. I thank God I found her🙏🏾. The same condition may look completely different on White people, versus how it looks on Black people.

Please do this more often I would love to see black derms link with hair stylists

I have had this video saved on my watchlist for a while now and finally was able to listen and watch. This video is just absolutely amazing. The information that was given and the science behind it was ELITE. I had stopped getting my hair done at shops a loooong time ago. The last time I lost hair from extreme braiding/twisting was the final straw. 2 twists that had my poor edges snatched, ripped them out. But nooooo I just had to go back to getting my hair braided in order to do crochet and even that was ripping my hair out. I haven’t gone to a shop for ANYTHING in the last 3 years. I make my own products, do my own hair, and I have begun to eat healthier and drink waay more water. I struggled with the vitamin d and iron deficiency and had to rectify that. I go to a hematologist to get checked and take supplements recommended by them. HOWEVER, that does not negate eating healthy. I eat food that are enriched with all the right vitamins we need for our bodies, minds, hormones and hair. Thank you beautiful lady for this incredible video!!

I have not braided my hair with extension in 5 months and I was so surprised how my edges grew soooooo fast. I just twisted my natural hair and left it like that. Not only did the edges grow, the hair itself grew so much. I think twist helps in growing hair.

Hearing this information from dermatologists is so reassuring. I'm a cosmetologist, and a lot of these remedies I share w/ my clients. Thank you for sharing this info! 😊

Dear Seun, I am a black woman with all the usual hairline issues mentioned. This is one of the best informative and educative black hair videos online. It is well thought off, and kudos to you for bringing on board the two black trichologists to tell us more. 😊👏🏽👏🏽.

Kudos to you young lady as well as Drs. Heath & Mitchell!! That virtual form was very informative and necessary for black women. Every black woman needs to see this! Taking care of your skin and scalp is foremost important before any hairstyles. Thanks for sharing!❤

I am truly thankful to all of you ladies. I just went to my dermatologist and was not hopeful. I am her only patient of color and she has already struggled helping me with acne and now I brought her hair loss on my edges and it was just over her head. I took a bunch of notes from this video including the website to find a different dermatologist. I will be implementing what I have learned here as soon as possible. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I truly needed this.

Thank you so much for this video! I've been ignoring my alopecia for years and slapping wigs and sew ins on my head. I've been avoiding seeing a dermatologist and even more afraid of steroid shots. I'm so used to watching videos and spending so much money on "miracle" products hoping for new hair growth. This information was so helpful and I'm going to see a dermatologist to discuss a treatment plan. Also, thank you so much Dr. Heath and Dr. Mitchell for explaining the different options for treatment.

Thanks so much for this video. It’s so refreshing to see a RU-vidr who brings on actual black experts to discuss a particular topic. I am watching from London, UK so I wish you could do a video with black dermatologists in the U.K. that way I could then contact them for a consultation. Thanks again for all your good work. Xx

So glad to see black professional women speaking on our hair. Wonderful video! Thank you!

My son sees Dr. Mitchell and she is amazing! She got his skin cleared up immediately! This video was awesome to watch and very helpful!

This is one of the most helpful hair videos I’ve seen on RU-vid. Thanks for setting up this platform.

This was so informative and helpful 💜💜💜

You ladies are so well spoken and educated,I've learned so much,I wish the both of you were in my state. Keep up the good work ladies.

THIS WAS SO GOOD. I REALLY HOPE THIS BLOWS UP HUGE BECAUSE YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW. THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION

This is the best most informative video I’ve seen about edges.

This was so amazing and informative. I have spent so much money on oils until I learned about going to a dermatologist. Thank you!

Thank you for bringing this to the masses!! I’ve seen a white dermatologist and I will definitely use the directory for a black dermatologist. Thanks again💕

Hi all! Try organic sage oil as well as the Rosemary oil the ladies suggested, keep at it over a period of multiple months though and take before and after pics to track progress but DON'T scrutinise your hairline everyday, it will just bring your mood down and stress levels up! Good luck!

Thank you for your commitment to educating your community! This was fantastic!

I Appreciate the effort you put into making your videos :)

Thanks, Seun. This is probably the most useful video I've ever seen on RU-vid relating to hair loss. Great content. Way to go!

This was so generous and kind of those two doctors. Brilliant 👏👏👏 I am actually touched. Black people struggle SOOOO much with hair overall. It affects your self esteem and outlook on life. I even remember seeing one of my cousins sometimes cry when we were kids because of these struggles with hair. I think treatment actually starts from the point your doctor acknowledges and truly understand your struggles. That makes a difference because the patient will be more receptive and trusting of your choices. The psychological factor is relevant Thank you for this episode. Well done! God Bless those two ladies and their practices.

Amazing and Very informative interviews! I learned so much in this segment 😃The doctors explained many reasons and conditions on how or why hair loss may be happening. Being a Registered Nurse, I appreciates the education given and some possible interventions for better outcomes. Thank you for sharing this video! Take care and everyone stay safe😷

Thank you so much for making this video. This is exactly the type of information that black women who are suffering from hair loss need to see and be educated on along with it being informed by black professional women who understand the challenges we face and that there are preventative ways that can help. Keep up the great work. Extremely helpful🙏🏽💕

I used biotin for 3 months str8 and it didn't help me, so what the doctor said in this video about biotin not being able to help, is so true.

This was sooooo helpful THANK YOU!!!!! I suffer from chronic inflammation and had no clue that’s why my edges were coming out. I truly appreciate this.

Hair line goals Dr Heath, goodness that's like a thick Forrest right there.

No cap I never thought about going to go to the dermatologist for hair loss. This was definitely the most helpful video I have seen for hair loss. Thank you!

I liked before I watch. I really need to grow my edges.

i just wanted to say, I love your hair, it looks so healthy

Thank you for allowing us to receive informed,professional knowledge and advice. This was an EXCELLENT show!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌺🌺🌺

Look at Seun coming forth with the professional receipts. Yes sis. ❤️❤️ I found out personally that inflammation played a big role in my healthy hair journey. I went on a lifestyle to get rid of inflammatory foods and my hair growth and hair health really improved.

This was a great interview! You let them talk and they were informative. Awesome job much respect to you.

You provided so much info here. Thank You! 🙏🏽 this wasn’t click bait.

Great job Seun! You are doing a phenomenal job promoting and building your channel! Keep doing what you’re doing.

What they’ve discussed in this video was really helpful and encouraging. Thanks again. 👍🏽

2:00 "glued down" hits differently these days...

I loved this thank you so much I just started about 7 months or so ago well during this pandemic to leave my hair alone I never knew it could grow. I am 67 years young. But I've worn wigs and weaves since I was 13. Thank you for this video and information.....

Girl if I’m doing any braid in ,, I myself take out my edges before the stylist do ma braids ,, no way I’m losing my edges

You just took this game to a higher level....Well done Seun....

You are on another level in the hair game.. this video is amazing.

I learned the hard way with the "I'll take Tylenol for the pain" 😥

Seun Okimi reminds me of Gabrielle Union. One of my favorite actresses- so beautiful.

Wow thank you so much for that expert input! I’ve learnt so much back here in Tanzania. Will definitely apply the learning to regrow my scarred edges!! Be Blessed!

So very happy to see this video, so needed. A lot us ladies are going on and wish and prayer. Thank you Seun for this video!

Yes ma’am I would go to African Braid shops they braided my hair sooo tight that my nose would 🩸 bleed. I have thick and robust hair one day my braids from the start falling out with my hair. I was shocked

Now this is what I call an informative video. Thank you!

Well done Seun, Thank you! I'm loving this😍. Be careful with saw palmetto. It interacts with hormones and can have damaging side effects. Always make sure to consult and follow up with your doctor.

Love, Love this conversation!!! Hair care wisdom that needs to be constantly shared

This was the most needed information and excellent. Thank you for sharing this. You shared options instead of automatically prescribing medication upfront. 👏🏽

I’m glad they said that transplant is the end of the road option. I have some hair loss on my edges and really thought that I should just jump into the transplant as a resolve.

Thanks so much, I learned so much from those ladies! It was nice that people of color has options instead of just getting hair transplant! Please do more videos like this please! Thanks so much I learned a lot from this video and I am sure others did as well!!!

I've looked at some of my grandmother's pictures and I noticed her edges were patchy on both sides in the same spots. I actually inherited that so the preventative aspect certainly gives me insight on how to cultivate those areas on my own head. THANK YOU

What a great conversation!!! Thank you for this ❤️👏🏿👏🏿

Absolutely loved and needed this. Thank you for putting this together.

As a master cosmetologist this is so true in order for a style or a person to be beautiful with a style the hair does not have to be tight you can use things such as edge control to make it appear smooth and mold it neatly to make it appear very neatly a lot of stylist and we don't even call them stylists we call them kitchens because they professional will never ever compromise a person's hair follicles of them losing them they have failed the communities because of high tight styles I'm not one and I'm proud of

I just love this video 🥰👏🏾I have had H.S. (hidradenitis) for years and when I tell you the changes in my diet and making my own hair serum from natural elements is such a bonus. I have used over the counter pill supplements but I just stopped and began my loc journey. Taking time to learn and be patient with the body is a must. What may work for some may not work the same for others. I have been on steroids for the pain or flare ups and other meds but gradually I stopped because it just became highly depressing for me. I found that teas and other fruits and veggies like graviola and maca for example helps me. Even mindful that certain vegetables and oils can also trigger flare ups and harm me. I still follow up and seek my Primary Physician and Derm Specialist. This journey of hair growth and healthier skin amazes me. My skin has some pigment scars but no more cystic acne and I have healthier follicles along with growth. I am glad I watched this and wish you ladies continued success and please continue this type of platform. 💜

Hi Seun and this was very informative and I hope you have these dermatologist come back to your show. Blessings to you.

If it’s too tight you’re taking it out and doing it again. Hairstylists get annoyed with me but I value my hair.

Crown and edges are greatest concern

Thank you for making this video. Being an older, greying around the edges woman this gave me a few more options to consider.👍🏻😊

Your editing on this video was AMAZING! Very informational, as well!

Extremely beneficial! Enjoyed this video and learned a lot! Thanks for taking the time to provide us with top-level dermatologists who provided us with great options!

Thank you so much for allowing the doctors to come And give us all the information that we really needed to know about our edges. Very helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your journey. And to helping others..

First time I actually want to go out and buy recommended products. I am on this. This was an awesome video and as we ask for in the pandemic briefings....LET THE PROFESSIONALS SPEAK. Great job.

Thanks for this HIGHLY EDUCATIVE clip! I stopped relaxing my hair more than a decade ago (cutting my hair regularly since then,) and my hair THANKS ME for it because ,I can see the difference ...... and when I feel like a change, I just put on my favourite wig /String attachments WITHOUT GLUEING ( WITH SEWN-IN COMBS)!

I had a terrible breakout and I noticed that certain brands in rice and flour in general caused inflammation. I need to go back to my low carb healthy vegan lifestyle to get back my edges, because so far that is the only things that I saw helped.

Excellent video, short and sharp. A massive well done Seun. Thank you to the amazing professionals for sharing their knowledge and busting some myths! This was great to watch.

At this point I literally accept that mine ain’t growing back 😔😔. As long as I live I’m gonna be insecure about it. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s informative ❤️❤️

YES the directory is a need! I found my dermatologists off there and am so happy. Give it a visit!

Love this video! Jamaican black castor oil is another oil that is really good for edges. You have to apply it twice a day and massage. Increases blood flow and hair thickness.

This was super informative. This has been something I've been struggling with. Thank you!!!

Thank you for bringing 2 professional Queens to educate us the correct way.. You are a true Queen that care about other queens ,to put this video together for us. We all can clearly see you do not have a problem with thin edges, like myself and others, your took time out of your schedule to find some professional to help us . Thank you Thank you from me and all the thin edge queens. God Bless you.

Viewer from Europe here, thanks for the the video ma’am. I throughly enjoyed.
