UNCLOG YOUR FOLLICLES FOR BETTER HAIR GROWTH!! | SCALP CARE 101 

Thank you so much I really did need that for my dry skin I just got my hair straightened and I have experiencing dry scalp with a little bit of itching.

Is Witch Hazel okay to put on thinning hair. My hair started thinning when I started bleach/coloring.

Ezema natural cure!

Can you share any tips about what products, if any, or techniques we can try to keep the scalp moisturized on a regular basis? Maybe a video exploring oils, grease, creams use/caution for the scalp? I came back to this video because I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to keep my scalp mositurized/what things to avoid for scalp health. Thank you @CurlyChemistry!

Alopecia would be a good topic hun.... thanks for this info

The cocooonioon hair shampoo and oil successfully reduced the hair fall.

What's colour got to do with it? Humans are one and all look different and we don't play their divide game. Please don't think this way.

@@geo_neo9 White people don't have natural hair, do they???

@@geo_neo9 🎻

@@geo_neo9 Your ethnicity determines your hair type. Black people's hair is usually different from other people. This knowledge is generally lost among the blavk community. So, it's good to hear a Black woman with healthy hair talk about it.

@OneManGang What is the problem with him feeling comfortable with his own race? Leave him be. If you are a girl and you have to go to the hospital, you'll feel better with a female doctor than a male doctor. Is all about similarities, he doesn't mean it in a harsh way

Thanks Beverly!! :-)

Beverley marafa what's the science to healthy hair growth I took a couple of strains from my hair my hair stayed at the top of the glassĺ. What does that mean

Same! I'm majoring in Chemistry and found this channel a while ago! It's about time we had someone explaining our type of hair with legit science tbh

Me, too!

I literally came across her today and im like where was she all along. I just washed my hair and did PMP 🤣

@@kathy4317, I just found her two days ago and I'm glad that I did!!!

EXACTLY Shanell, they all repeat each other or copy each other and promoting. An authority speaking from a scientific perspective. YES, I’m unsubscribe to some of them especially the one’s using a thousand ingredients from THEIR channel only!!! 🙏 thank you

Sooo glad I came across your video. Yes, I’m going to subscribe 🤗

Heyy i recommend, maybe you know this, but still: not brushing hair when wet! Makes a lot of difference for me!

Please please 🥺

Yes. I am 59 and my hair grows slowly around the edges

great question, i agree

Omg! Yes! Thank you for suggesting because I definitely could use the info myself.

Great question, good topic. I notice older women's hair is thinner and balding appear in the crown. I'm 59 with about 15% grey hair mostly in the front, rest is very dark black with a strand of grey thruout. My hair is very thick. All if this is due to years of good (not always but got routine now) natural hair, no perms of any kind, no color, infrequent salon visits and wkly or biweekly washes. Some in older generations feel such washes is too much, have had a perm for 10 years maybe more and color grey every other month and frequent salons for this "haircare". As I've aged I have noticed my scalp is more sensitive to some products (ingedients in them?) than before. Black women youtubers that address these topics are rare

But many ppl Put gels and things like that on their actual hair. At one point, we are all going to need to use a clarifying shampoo on both hair and scalp in my opinion.

It took me a long time to realize this.

Thats a good topic

Oooo that's good! I'll add it. :-)

@@CurlyChemistry and after pregnancy, i swear it changes for the worse 😥😥😥

This would be a really good topic... please do

Would love to hear that too. Especially changes in kids hair during puberty...and any care change needs. Hormonally changes...

Thank you for asking as I am also interested in this topic!

@@billybobleeward3765 THANK YOU! I actually stop wearing tight hairstyles in July 2019 and unfortunately the hair in my temples has not grown back yet, so I really wanted to get her perspective

@@ChimereTrielle I suffered through this pretty much my whole life. From age of 4 to 21, I lived in tight buns and brades 24/7. Nobody stopped me as non of my family knew what traction alopecia was. When my hair began thinning as a teen, no one knew why. This was in mid 2000s so I didn't have a phone so internet was limited. It's only when I googled "why does my hair keep falling" in 2018 that I finally learned about the years of damage my tight hairstyles had caused. I'm 25 now and my hair is starting to grow back slowly. It's been 4 years and I still have a long way to go. I just want to say it's never too late, as long as you have breath in your lungs, it's never too late to fix the damage. You just gotta be patient :)

@@stariehearts2366 Thank you so much for the encouragement!

@@ChimereTrielle you're welcome 💕

Take turmeric for inflammation

That’s amazing! I’m glad I can help. ☺️

Any issues you may have..try a sugar detox. First week, the dying-off yeast in your body will release toxins..alcohols...to try and get you to cave and eat sugar..buy cake...eat potato chips, etc. Your mouth will coat with sweet, yeast, tasting saliva and you will even break out since the toxins are releasing through your skin. If you can survive the yeast trying their hardest to Not die off (they eat and multiply overgrowing inside your body by feasting on sugar) week two..you will see improvements. We are addicted to sugar that is stronger to leave than cocaine. If you go sugarless for months, I bet you'll see several health issues start to reverse. Even ones that your doctor told you are permanent. Sounds stupid but Real talk. Dandruff is basically an out of control yeast infection on your scalp..gross I know. That's why when you scratch your scalp and then smell your fingers afterwards, it smells like fresh bread.. sweet and full of yeast 🤢 People of color, need to jump on this sugar detox bandwagon-thyroid issues, fibroids, polyps, dandruff, etc. All of this is the result of eating too much sugar all day everyday in everything we consume. The toxins from this yeast overgrowth over the years, even causes cancers.

@@taredo3 drinking celery juice is good, scalp massages, applying rosemary w/witch hazel Made a difference for me. I just applied 3'xs a week.

I’m sorry about your alopecia. I think Brazil nuts help with selenium, which helps with thyroid issues which can affect hair health. Do some research, and consider eating 1 brazil nut a day 💗

Great suggestion! I'll add that also! :-)

Yes!! Great suggestion!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your hair starts to fall of when you have this deficiency.

Try taking a tablespoon of unsulphered black strap molasses daily. It really helps a lot.

Iron deficiency definitely causes hair loss. See a doctor for iron issues.

Thanks great to hear Brittany! You’re so welcome! ☺️

Mine as well.. I cut my hair off to start over while using the regiments you suggested and now my hair is thriving with minimal shedding between washes. Thank you!

What did you do? Use the shampoo she recommended and apple cider vinegar? What else did you incorporate to see changes?

I have seborrheic dermatitis as well & it is hell to deal with. I’m not sure how I got it but it’s made taking care of my hair more of a challenge. You should look into Ayurvedic hair treatments to help regrow your hair. It’s been helping a lot for me with thickening my hair & retaining length.

That's the first thing I noticed

Please TALK ABOUT hair LOSS around EDGES and THE SCALP. Thank you.

This is exactly what I’m going through at the moment! I am struggling to find a gel/pomade to control my baby hairs as I have found the pomade I was using caused heavy build up in my hair. I am lost trying to find a product and there’s not much information about this problem!!

@@sashapalma2033 There was a GEL that I used YEARS ago. PURPLE RAIN. It was a "Healthy" gel. No flaking, no buildup. You would have to order it ONLINE now. I purchased it by the BOX yrs ago. I'm wearing a wig, now,so I don't worry so much about baby hair. Try it. You'll like it. I need the hair in my TEMPLES to grow. I see something coming, just want to help it come faster. Lol

@@sashapalma2033 Hello, try TGIN edge control. It’s fairly light weight, but it does the job on holding down edges.

Viviscal Pro has helped me significantly. Even growing more baby hair and eyelashes....for real. However, I also had to step up my management of hypothyroidism and anemia. These have to be ruled out as possible contributing factors.

Thank you.

Yes! I second that suggestion.

And I third that, guess I should have read the comments first! :-) so everyone who needs to know about this condition let's comment enough or like this comment enough so that she will notice and make this one of her earlier topics, otherwise we may not have any hair left to do anything with later than sooner!😐😐😊

I put onion juice on my scalp!!

Thank you so much 🤗

Oral saw palmetto and coconut oil will reduce serum dht. Topical rosemary oil + peppermint oil + coconut oil will reduce scalp dht, add sunflower oil to activate ppar receptor to increase scalp fat gain which promotes scalp estrogen production needed for hair growth. The root problem is not dht, dht is also needed to signal hair growth, the problem is what causes dht to increase which is inflammation in the gut and scalp.

@@manny769 Thank you! Thank you so much! I can't tell you how much your advice means to me. God bless you.

@@icecreammaker5007 Green tea and stinging nettle are DHT blockers as well.

@@jdbailey442 Thanks! So, do I use it as a hair rinse or drink it?

CCCA here 🙌🏾. Yes really need it

I had dandruff as a teen for a few years. I always thought it was because I had a full, thick head of curly hair and that my gel and hair products were the cause. I also lived in a tropical climate so I figured it was just natural that I'd have to suffer from dandruff. My brother and dad also had bits of dandruff so, eh, no biggie, right? Well, fast forward a few years and I developed full blown dry scalp. It was ugly, always on my shoulders and a horror show to anyone who came close enough. Embarrassing, but eventually I accepted it as part of me and didn't care anymore. Only problem is that it's so hard to live with it when it gets itchy and flares up! Now, after years of suffering and trying damn near everything, I did a bit of research and a bit of experimentation and I can safely say that now I believe it's caused by a fungus. The first thing that helped me alleviate my dry scalp symptoms was tea tree infused shampoo. I never sought professional help, but a hair stylist once sold me on her product to help me take care of my scalp. I bought tea tree oil too, but the oil by itself did not work to cure or lessen the dry scalp, it only soothed the itching. Anywho, I was hooked on the shampoo for the last 2 or so years but my scalp would only ever be clean for about 24 hours if that much, 48 hrs MAX in a good week. Eventually, another hair stylist recommended an anti-fungal ointment that wasn't available near me, so I decided to try a ketoconazole shampoo. I stumbled upon the ingredient through research and partly by random luck! The shampoo is easily available in Guyana (where I was at the time) and it's cheap, so I tried it and for the first time in YEARS it cured my scalp. I am still using it because I notice if I go too many days without washing my head will become greasy, sweaty and itchy, and I just feel gross and want to wash it. In some instances the dry scalp comes back but I think that's because I'm still in the early stages of curing it and I am not consistent with my treatments. If you use the ointment itself you will probably get better results, but I am using a shampoo and I am always in the gym and live a very active, busy lifestyle, so the shampoo is the best method for me right now. I also implemented new things to help reduce the spread of fungus/bacteria. Now, I comb my hair with a cheap comb I can throw away afterwards so the comb didn't pick up and trap the fungus. If I don't toss it, I'll be reintroducing fungus to my head the next time I use that comb. I also use a fresh towel and toss it in the wash afterwards. Changing my pillow case frequently is important too, and using clean hair ties as well. Basically you need to treat it like if you had lice. You would avoid hats you've worn when you had lice, you wouldn't lay in the pillow with your lice head and use it again once its cured, or use the same towel multiple times. If you can envision fungus as a living thing spreading everywhere that your hair and scalp makes contact with, you'd get an idea of how to treat it and what to do to keep your environment fresh and fungus-free. invest in an anti-fungal shampoo and wash your hair often (like 4 times a week on avg) and use fresh tools each time, until you eventually permanently fix the scalp. An anti-fungal ointment would be better! But I am not a medical doctor so please do your own research before taking my advice. My HOPE is that it will go away on its own eventually, but I only recently discovered this shampoo & method and I know now that it WORKS for. me. SO I am sharing in hopes that you or any other person suffering from dry scalp can find some relief as well. xx

May I suggest to you to stop using the “deceptive” protective hair stylings. It’s not good for your scalp or hair. Style your own hair. Take time and learn how to do it. Put the money you spend in the salon and use the suggestions in thus video. Put that money in the ☺️bank! 👍🏽

Apply an oil of choice ie coconut or olive oil. Wait for cradle cap to be saturated then use a soft new toothbrush to gently lift the cradle cap of the scalp. Then shampoo hope this help. Pardon me chemist just sharing what I did with my daughter.

Stop Hair loss due to HBP meds

😂😂😂😂

Yup! 🤣🤣

🤣🍸🍹

@@deborahledger.harris2486 r u saying hbp meds makes yer hair fall out?🤔 I have hbp, my hair grows like weeds.

Trichotin capsules (vitamins), peppermint oil+black Jamaican castor oil.

Try derma rolling, scalp massage, and rosemary, peppermint oils for circulation stimulation

Viviscal Pro has helped me thicken my hair significantly. Also rule out anemia and thyroid problem with your doctor.

Drink green juice like chlorella or chlorophyll, made from plants and rich in iron and a tons o dither minerals. Most hair loss is down to too much tension or lack of nutrients that the body looses during menopause/postpartum or a poor diet in general

I enjoy your science! But why are licensed cosmetologist saying different things? I BELIEVE YOU! KEEP SENDING GOOD SOUND INFO!!

Hi, mixed black girl with psoriasis here! My best recommendation is to get oral medication if your insurance will cover it. All the steroids and alcohol based topicals are not great for the hair. I don’t use hair oil anymore but I still use it on my patches of psoriasis for soothing it.

Do NOT use any oral medication . Big Pharma medication is not meant to cure or help with this .I compare oral medication to dirty bandaids , seems like they help BUT in the long run very bad for the health . Big Pharma is only in it for the money…Instead….to heal scalp psoriasis do not consume sugar , chocolate , gluten , any nightshade vegetables ( peppers , egg plant , tomatoes , potatoes )dairy , cheese . Eliminate these for a month or more and when the psoriasis is gone add one of these foods one at a time to see which ones trigger your psoriasis , then eliminate that one . ALSO , get out in the sun to get lots of vitamin D which helps greatly . Most people with psoriasis do not get enough vitamin D . I know all of this because I am in the process of doing these exact things to try and heal my head psoriasis. Also take slippery elm bark tea ( take this before bed and at least6 to 8 hours BEFORE or after TAKING the other ones mentioned , yellow saffron tea ( not the expensive one ) L-Glutamine . Read up on when to take these . Good luck , Good healing….

I have alopecia and have had some bald spots. For me the first time I got one was very scary since I didn’t really know if my hair would ever grow back. My doctor back then said that it’s hard to tell if the hairs will grow back and only time would tell. It took about 1 year before some tiny white/grey hairs started to grow in the middle of the bald spot. Then it took about 6-12 months before the hair was long enough to blend in with my hair. Btw it’s only the first strands that grow out that have no pigment in them so don’t be scared if you would see that, they will eventually get their pigment and the rest will also have their usual pigment of your hair. There is topical treatments you can use to stimulate the hair follicles to wake them up from their sleep and also micro needling the bald spot. I don’t know if this helped but it’s what I know from my own experience 😊

@@jessicalinneaa If you don't mind me asking what exactly did you use to wake up and stimulate hair growth in those areas?

You’re so welcome!! 💜

Just spray your hair with water.

Wow! Thank you! ☺️

Also, when I used to have a perm, I noticed my dandruff to be a big problem as well. I no longer have a perm and my hair and scalp feel much healthier. And my dandruff is very minimum now. If I spot any dandruff it's due to not moisturizing my scalp. But, what I did to curb my dandruff was invest in tea tree shampoo, rosemary oil and a scrub brush that you can purchase from any hair supply shop. All the best!

Scalp scrub is v important💫💜 Best to do a scalp scrub, with a decent product at least once or twice a month (it doesn't hv to be an expensive brand, although the best I found was on QVC, Tweak'd by Nature & it wasn't cheap - but an inexpensive brand will do as long as its not too sharp grained - use scalp scrub to remove all build up. Rosemary oil twice a week can help too, & cutting down sugar.🙏💜)
