My hair fell out 😔

restarting my loc journey but with braids.. OH AND MY HAIR DIDN’T FALL OUT MB .. okay so boom let’s start off by saying I’ve been wanting Locs for years ..Locs actually play a big part in my family and I wanted to keep them around as I got older . Buttttt I’m also a hairstylist and love trying new styles and with starter Locs or Locs in general they don’t have as much versatility as loose hair does . 2 years ago I cut my hair off because of heat damn and the constant breakage . Last year I actually started my Locs and j I loved them buttt i was so excited about the growth I wanted to see my hair like all together and the versatility and my curly pattern and doing all the different styles again I wanted to dye my hair a lot…bad idea ..but hey it is what it is nowww I’m restarting with braids and hopefully I keep this process going I want it to be a success ngl .

... Read moreHair loss can be distressing, but understanding the causes is essential for hair care. Factors like heat damage, breakage, and the use of chemical treatments can lead to thinning hair. To promote healthy hair growth, it's vital to maintain a routine that includes proper nutrition, regular trims, and moisture. Low manipulation styles, like braids and locs, can offer a protective approach while allowing hair to thrive. Moreover, embracing protective hairstyles not only aids in growth but also decreases the need for frequent styling, reducing further damage. Don't forget to consult with professionals and invest time in caring for your scalp, as a healthy foundation is key to luxurious locks. As you traverse your hair journey, remember that patience is critical; hair growth takes time, and every phase has its beauty. Educating yourself about your hair type and experimenting with different products that suit your texture can greatly affect your hair's health. Celebrate each achievement, whether it's a new growth milestone or simply feeling more confident. Let's embrace our unique hair journeys together!

I’m pissed. I’ve been using this oil for about 2 weeks and didnt notice this until today which is wash day. To start with I notice my hair began feeling dry which didn’t alarm me at first but I was curious as to why my hair all of a sudden started getting so dry. And my husband uses the oil

You’ve tried before. Started strong. Fell off.
Not because you weren’t capable — but because you never had a real system. This one’s different. It’s been the turning point for over 200 women. Sculpted glutes. Toned waist. Better posture. More confidence. It works because it’s built for real life — short sessions, no fluff, full structure
