@Sheree Brown! Thank you so much for writing. Yes, I washed my hair once a month, but if you have to wash your hair every week, then do that. You may not want to wash with shampoo every week, if you do not have to, but you should be fine. Please feel free to write if you have any further questions or concerns. Many Blessings. :)
Back in the day we washed our hair, put some oils in them and it would grow. Why has it gotten so complicated? Why do I have to put treatments in my hair, freaking sleep on satin pillows. What the hell is going on. Why cant it take 5 minutes to do my hair in the morning??
Very true! Everything has changed. The food, environment, stress levels, etc. Kids are "all" allergic to peanut butter, which was never the case not to long ago. It's crazy! I agree. Why are so many people suffering from hair loss and hair growth issues? The world is changing and we have to change with it. It is complicated, but trust me, it is worth it and it gets easier to manage over time. I hope this helps you. Have a great day! xo
I think it’s also because we were in constant protective styles as kids. I know for me, my mom would do my hair on Sunday and not touch it again until Saturday night. That helped with retention and less manipulation
Kiki Dejean If you listen to all these natural hair youtubers you'll be spending 5 hours every wash day, in and out the shower 3 times with the 3 different conditioning treatments, layering 5 products after washing and not to mention spending half of your work wages on expensive natural hair products that give you 8oz of product for $25. BANANAS!!! Do what's been working for you
@Animated Moi- Thank you so much for writing. I did not use the onion juice for very long. I used it for less than 1week. I found my hair started to feel more dry and brittle. I also think my hair started falling back out. I left up the video because people have written that it has worked for them. I figure, others may find the video and try it and it may work for them. I really hope this helped you. The only things that worked for me were my black soap shampoo and my Shea butter mixture. Please feel free write to me anytime and have a great day :)
CHOCOVIXEN85 Thank you so much for being so encouraging and supportive. That really means a lot to me. I shared my story with you, because I wish I had someone who could relate to me when I lost my hair. I really hope these videos continue to give you tips and ideas on how to get the best out of your hair journey. Thank you for your kindness. I will always appreciate it! Have a great day :)
757chaneal Thank you so much! Panama was one of the best things I have ever done in my life! I feel great and my skin cleared up a lot as well. I am happy you noticed. have a great day and feel free to bless me with your kindness anytime. xoxo
To be honest with you, those ARE the perfect words. May God bless you and I pray 2017 is a year of success and growth in every area of your life. Please stay connected and have an amazing day! xo
I just want to say that I've started my twa journey because of your video's. I have followed you since the summer of last year. I must admit I wasn't consistent or I would've seen a lot more hair growth results. New Beginning has started this year, just taking care of it as I should. I have growth on the top of my head now. I really think my problem is age...I'm 52 years old and my parents hair started falling out around the same time, but....I'm not my parents. As always, thanks for sharing your journey. Check out my video as well...just getting started so excited at my "new beginnings". Have a great day!!
Veronica Harris-Schmitz Hello Veronica! Thank you for writing and sharing a bit about yourself with me. You are right! You are not your parents and if you feel like you have not been caring for your hair the way you think you should have been, then start from there. You may be surprised at your results! For sure I will check you out. Have a blessed day and please stay in touch :)
how can we escape? hard water manipulation tight styles weather combing too much moisture not enough moisture wrong products due to ignorance...what can we do??
Great question! Please check out my website for more info on how you can protect you hair. I have done it, so it is possible. If you have any further questions, please feel free to message me again. Have a great day! xo www.alopeciafree.com/
Sigh......where have you been all my life -_- I have alopecia on my edges also (if u look at my YT/Google icon, you can see my bald spot loud and proud on that one side of my head) but I've had it since I was 11 years old. I'm 23 now and I guess because I had it as it a child and my parents were always tending to it, I learned to just live with it. I always have my huge curls out (which i love) but I'm dien to get a pretty up do at the hair salon or maybe some bomb french braids on both sides. Watching your video makes me feel like maybe I can actually heal it and now I'm motivated to start. Luckily, I literally never wear my hair pulled back tightly. I always just pull my hair back in a loose ponytail when I'm tired of it in my face. I write all of this hoping that I can make another woman feel like she's not alone as well as give you some huge praise because your hair really is beautiful and grew back lovely. I'm going to try your shea butter remedy.......Thanks for giving me the motivation
+Amanda Salas Hey Amanda! Aww! You are so sweet. Thank you. I am here for you now. ;) Thank you so much for writing this to me. It truly touches my heart to know that you would take time out of your busy life and write to me just to encourage me and to let me know that I am not alone either. Thank you so much. I wish I had more people in my life like you. Thankfully, you are now a part of my life, so I am super grateful and honored to have you here journeying with me. Please feel free to stay connected and write anytime. BIG HUGS xoxoxo ~Jass
101ronita Hey Lady! You should know....lol You have been here since the beginning. Yes, It is getting there. Thank you so much for staying connected. Have a blessed day and write anytime :)
I feel really bad because my very thick natural hair went to thin in a short while. I ignored it, but I'm so glad I saw this video. Thank you! Question; how can I wear my hair while I'm trying to regrow it? I don't want to wear my own hair out, it's too embarrassing. Should I just twist it and then wear a wig over it? I am so frustrated with what I've allowed to happen to my hair.
M. Joseph Hello Hun! I am so sorry to hear about your hair thinning. Please feel free to write and connect with me anytime. We can get through this! Yes, I think twisting your hair and then covering it with a wig/beanie hat/scarf is a great idea. Just please make sure that you protect your edges in the process. Feel free to write if you have any further questions or concerns. I am happy to help! Have a great day! :)
+AlopeciaFreeWithJass Someone sent me this video after my story on getting traction alopecia from Afrikan braids. Even though I am over 50 I have not given up. I am washing hair tomorrow and twisting my hair after it dries. With shea butter of course.
+Derriann Cornwall (DMCProductions) Hey Hun! Thank you so much for asking. I speak a little bit more on that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h3nrjU2IXnQ.html Hopefully it helps you out. If you have any further questions, please feel free to message me anytime. I will be happy to help you out. Have a great day and please stay connected. xo
TotallyTyra TYRA!!! Thank you so much hun. You are always welcome. Have a blessed day and I have a vlog coming sis. I know you are waiting...lol. xoxox
Thanks you for your video, I do not suffer from Alopecia, however, I do have Thalassemia, which results in fragile hair and more breakage then a person who does not have extreme lack of iron always. I wont go into the details of my illness and how I treat it, however. Because of this, my hair breaks a lot at the ends and randomly somewhere on the hair strands. Before I knew this was the cause of my hair breakage I would comb and brush my hair I would style it every day, etc. Since a few months I drastically changed everything about my hair care and things have been going better. I cannot even use hair products so I went back to basic and that is washing with water only and using aloe vera and cactus as a conditioner and olive oil as sealer. this has done a lot for my hair and I thank God for this. My question for you since I have a lot of damage in the nape area and it is growing back praise God for this, but could you give some idea's or maybe you have a video on hairstyles you did to keep the back free from stress. the damage is very bad and this is also due to some things I tried, but my hair did not like it, results were more breakage. thanks in advance and God bless you!
+Miriam A. Hello Hun! I am so sorry to hear about what you went through, but I am thankful to the good Lord that your hair is doing better! I do not have a video in regards to styling your hair to keep stress off the edges, but the concept is pretty much the same as why I use twists. I can manage how tightly I make my twists and how many I make, etc. so I am always in control of making sure my edges and nape are safe and tension free. Depending on your length, you have to judge what hairstyles will work for you and then style your hair in a away where you are not pulling your edges or nape to tightly. Trust me, twists works and that is why I have continued to use them. Hopefully this helped you. Please feel free to write if you have any further questions or concerns. I am always happy to help you. Have a great day! xo
Hello Hun, I actually wrote a blog post about Black Jamaican Castor Oil on my blog here is the link www.alopeciafree.com/jamaican-black-castor-oil-for-hair-growth/ Have a great day! Jass xo
Hi my name is Alicia and my 8 year old daughter had a stem cell transplant 4 years ago she’s healthy and doing great but I’m struggling trying to grow her hair she has very dry scalp and dry hair please advise me how to help her hair grow more healthy I placed an order for all the oils I saw on your video is there anything else you would advise me to use. Thank you…..
Really good video. Thanks for the tips. You know I don't have natural hair but I use coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil, castor oil in my hair all the time. Its helped. Thanks for giving hope to bad hair days and our journey.
D Charles Hey D!!! Thank you so much and you are very welcome. Your hair is beautiful!! It is working for you hun. Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could meet up with you again! I loved meeting you!! Thank you so much for writing and staying in touch. I will have our vlog up on Monday. You look so good in the video footage we got! I will send you a sneak peek Sunday before it goes up on RU-vid. Things have been so hectic with the move, but I am getting on it! Have a great day and I can still taste our Coffee....lol. xoxox
i love ur site/videos i just got my shots (yes steriods) and i wanna start on ur regime but u said u wash once per month where ur hair started to grow! one month!! i have tow wash every week is this prob or a cause of hair loss?
It csn be i was washing once a month when i first went natural and my hair was thriving now that i started once a week and started experiencing hair fall
Great video. I watched your video on how to make Black Soap shampoo. I ordered a pound of raw black soap and made it. I used it yesterday and my hair felt so soft and clean. It makes a lot of suds but rinses clear so quickly. I have Sisterlocks and worry about residue. No worries with this shampoo :-) I want to try the Shea mixture but it may be too heavy for my locks. Thanks for the info!
Tanjia Hall Hey Hun! That is awesome to hear! I am so glad you tried it out and you and your hair are liking the results. That was the first thing I noticed when I used the black soap...I rinsed it out and my hair still felt like there was moisture in it, but it felt so clean all at the same time.The shea butter could work, but you would only have to apply a very small amount. Your hair will feel so moisturized. Thank you so much for letting me know how the black soap is working for you. It is always nice to get feedback from you. Have a blessed day and I would love pics on those locs. alopeciafreewithjass@gmail.com. Email me anytime sis. xox
They are okay, but I would prefer something that is not "straight back", but more down to the sides, to keep your edges safe. I hope this helps you. Have a great day! xo
Hello Hun! I wore extensions and tight styles all of my life.I stopped wearing braids for about 1 year and that is when my edges started to fill back and grow back in. I hope this helps you. Have a great day! xo
Okay so I noticed my edges started to thin out in 2013 and 2014 got worse . I just stopped wearing sew ins and starting to see grow but it does feel smooth in some areas so does that mean it's irreversible ? And what's the link to your hair treatment ? Thanks
Hello Hun! My spot was smooth, skin bald and it grew back. So it is possible. You can find what I used here: shop.alopeciafree.com/ If you have any questions, please make sure to message me again. Have a great day!
+Janeal Anderson Hello Hun! I would use the hot coconut oil treatment every other week. I have not tried the blow dryer over the plastic bag, so I am not sure how that would work. Please check online to see if anyone else has tried it. It is better safe than sorry. Have a great day and thank you for connecting with me today. Be blessed sis! xo
I most definitely appreciate your comments, support, and advice! I will take this advice because it makes sense to me in trying to regrow what has been messed up. Your hair is obviously healthy ( and outs texture s are the same). The only problem is, I know you shaved yours to start anew. However, I am terrified of shaving my hair, and I honestly know, I will never do it. So with that being said, I really wonder if there is any hope for my hair. Again, thank you very very very much!
JustMe Hello Hun! Thank you for your supportive words. I really appreciate them! Yes, I did shave my hair, but that was for stress relief, not because I thought my regimen or products would work better if I were bald. I believe that you can start your journey at any length. If you have a simple, healthy regimen and you are consistent, I believe your hair will grow. Please do not be discouraged or lose hope. If you feel like you need to connect with someone, I am here. Have a great day and please stay in touch. Many Blessings. xo
AlopeciaFreeWithJass I DO think biting the bullet and shaving your head really helped. Here's what happened to me: I big chopped and HATED it, but the truth is I should have gone lower and shaved off all of the damaged hair like you did so I could truly start over from scratch. Instead I had about 2 inches of what I believe was scab hair. And oh how I hung on to that hair for the length and did not trim for 18 months. My hair was dry, crunchy, and grew super slow in the front. Now I'm on a regular trim schedule and my hair is flourishing (even in the front) but it took all of these two years for it to turn around. I think those 2 inches of damage I hung onto held me back. So either shaving the hair off completely or aggressive trims, really help. But Oh it's so, so, so hard to let go!
I'm having a problem, my hair is breaking off really bad and i don't know what products to use on to stop the breakage. I was watching a video of yours with the coconut hot oil treatment,well i tried it today,I'm going to continue using it and see if i get any results. But please give me more tips on how to treat my dry and damaged hair.
Ashely Hudson Hello Ashley! I am so sorry to hear that your hair is breaking off really badly. I know how hard that can be. Please don't be discouraged. There are many of us facing the same issue. Please know that I am here to support you :) Yes, continue to use the coconut oil. Coconut oil is great for hair restoration. I would like to give you as much information as I can about my tips and what I did to grow my hair back ...so....I put it all on the website for you! :D www.alopeciafree.com/ Have you checked it out yet? If not, please visit the site and feel free to connect with me on there. I am there more so than here. Have a great day and thank you for connecting :)
Hello I just subscribed your channel and have been inspired to try your natural remedies to cure my hair loss. I've seen your black soap shampoo tutorial but I'm having trouble trying to find your shea butter mixture video
Zhane Crosby Hey Hun! Thank you for writing to me and letting me know that you are with me on this journey. It is nice to meet you :) Unfortunately, that video had to be taken down because of copyright issues. However, if you are interested in my shea butter mixture, feel free to check out my website: www.alopeciafree.com/product/shea-butter-mixture/ I really hope this helps you out. Have a great day and please write to me anytime. I am here to help you. Have a great day :)
Shamekia Davis You are always welcome! If you need any help, you can reach me faster on my website. Thank you again for your support and please stay in touch. Much love sis! xox
Hi, my daughter hair is breaking off very bad. It is relaxed. I was thinking of washing it, then using coconut oil as I seen in your other video and then washing and deep conditioning. From there I was thinking of roller setting it. Is this a good idea? If so, what kind of rollers should I use and should I let her sit under dryer or let it air dry?
I think you so much for all your videos I was wondering about your black soap shampoo I had to stop using the black soap because it caused irritation to my face I will like to know how it will work for my hair! Thank you
Shamekia Davis Hey Hun! I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. Yes, depending on where you buy the black soap from it may have a bunch of different things mixed up in it and it is not always good. I stuck to the purest form of black soap I could find and I know it is not easy to find. I am going to be making it available on my website, so please feel free to check it out when you can. www.alopeciafree.com/ I really hope it helps you out and that you see great results for your hair in the future. Have a blessed day and thank you for writing. :)
tootrendy19 MINE TOO!!! LOL I have noticed tremendous growth from wearing them. I am sure you will too, if you haven't already! :) Have a great day and please stay in touch!! xox
+Nifike How2 Hello Hun! Yes, I do. I trim it whenever it needs to be trimmed. More specifically, when I wash my hair, I check and see if I have any single strand knots (or split ends, which I do not usually have) and I tend to clip or trim those off. Hopefully this helps you out. Thank you for asking and have a great day! xo
Curlzstayfly Hey Hun! I was like you. I use to love my braids, but my hair/hairline didn't. Yes, try out the twists for a bit and see if your hair starts to thicken back up. That is a great idea! Please keep me posted on how your hair is doing. I am always happy to hear from you and connect with you. Have a blessed day and thank you for connecting :D
My nape is bald on left side ,is their any thing i can do saving go to an doctor rest of my hair is going im relaxed but havent use one in four mths need help Thanks,..
+Sondra Leuellyn Hey Hun! I am so sorry to read this. I know this must be very difficult for you to go through. It is always important to hear what your doctor has to say. That way you can rule out any medical conditions that may be causing your hair to fall out. However, if you believe your hair loss was due to chemicals relaxers, even though you haven't used one in months, it may takes months or even longer to see any signs of growth. The best thing you can do is to get your regimen down and to be consistent using it. Then you will know what is working and what is not working. Hopefully this helps. Feel free to write if you have any further questions or concerns. Have a great day! xo
Help... I'm natural almost two years, I did big chop. I had a few set backs mainly with my edges. I protective mainly with weaves & wigs. I usually leave my edges out to avoid breakage. I have traction alopecia on my edges only. My hair is flourishing and growing everywhere else's except my edges. I notice that it starts to grow & then breaks off. I suspect part of the issue is my pillowcases & when the weave rubs against my hairline at night...what should I do. Please help😥
Hello Jc! I am so happy to read that your hair is flourishing, even if your edges are not right now. Any sign of hair growth is great! As far as your edges go, if you think it may be your pillowcase, that is a good place to start. Silk or satin in best. However, for more really good hair growth tips that I cannot share in this short comment, please check out my new eBook on Amazing Hair Growth Tips here: shop.alopeciafree.com/product/alopecia-free-e-book/ If you have any further questions, I am always happy to help you. Have a great day and a blessed 2017! xo
+Danielle Robinson Mine use to grow fast in braids and then fall out also. My hair does not like the braids. It made my hair weak and brittle. I have not used braids in almost 3 years and my hair is doing great! Hopefully that may work for you as well. Blessings. xo
Hi, i have a question: my edges are thinning and so is my hairline and nape area, i have used relaxner and keratin treatments before as a result my hair has become damaged, i have a lot of breakage. i got a keratin treatment december ladt year and i am just fed up of my hair so i want to shave it all of and start again but i am not sure, do you think i should just shave it all of and start again or shall i try and regrow my edges then shave it all off?
+The Chocoholic Hey Hun! I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. Please know that I have been there and it is very devastating. Cutting off all of your hair is a big decision, I speak more about my thoughts on this matter here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K3jyaGWHFeE.html I hope this helps you. If you have anymore questions, I am always happy to help you out. Have a great day! xo
I did the water washing. I have a video on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3HxORbaiCi0.html I hope this helps you. Have a great day! xo
Box braids maybe a bit harsh if you have thin/fragile hair. However, if your hair is full/thick/strong, go for it. However, if your hair is like mine, try using yarn braids. They are light weight and wont put so much tension on your strands. I hope this helps you and ENJOY YOUR VACATION!!! xox
Hey hun, I haven't used emu oil personally however I've heard good things. I use my stimulating oil blend and that works for me. You can always give emu oil a try but try it out on a small portion of your hair first before using it on your whole head in case it doesn't agree with you. Sorry I couldn't give you more information. Have a great day!😀
Kimberly Gray Hey Kimberly! No, the regimen has not changed the "texture" of my hair, but it has changed the "feel and look" of my hair. What I mean is, I still have 4C, 4B "textured hair" (if you want to label it that), but it use to feel so hard and dry. My regimen keeps my hair moisturized and shiny. My hair now looks jet black, because of the shine, but in all reality my hair is actually a shade of brown. The regimen is keeping my hair healthy and growing long. I can't wait to do my 2 year hair update with you all soon! Thank you for writing. Please feel free to write anytime. Blessings. xox
You are always welcome. I am so happy that I can be here to support and encourage you. Believe it or not, you are doing the same thing for me right now. It is totally worth all of the work, just to connect with awesome people, such as yourself. Please know that you can email me anytime! Have a great day!! xox
Jewel Ellis Hello Hun! Yes, that video has been set to private because of copyright issues. I have made the shea butter mixture available on my website for anyone who is interested in buying it here: www.alopeciafree.com/product/shea-butter-mixture/ Thank you for writing to me and I hope you have a great day!
+Sara Benjamin Thank you! I love that you love them. You just made me smile ear to ear and I thank you for that! Have a great day and stay awesome!! xox
