MY HAIR LOSS STORY! BEFORE YOU GET SISTERLOCKS!
Karen discusses some of the things you should consider before getting sisterlocks or micro locks if you dealing with hair loss. Karen discusses her own struggles with hair loss. She has female pattern hair loss, where the hair follicle miniaturize and the the hair starts to grow slower. She recommends that you stabilize your hair loss first, so get treatment. Go to a trichologist to help you stabilize your hair loss disorder. At times, changing the diet, managing and reducing stress, increase exercise, and using products to strengthen the follicles will help to manage hair loss.

    I’ve had sisterlocks for about three years. After noticing a bald spot and thinning throughout the top of my head, as well as some combined locs (probably because of thinning), I asked my loctician, who said that there was some thinning but she didn’t think it was bad. I compared photos from when I had my establishment and it is pretty bad. I went to see a dermatologist who said that she thinks it’s female pattern baldness. She took bloodwork to rule out other causes and I’m waiting for that to come back. But she also said that for me, sisterlocks is the worst possible style because the pulling and styling right next to the scalp will only make the problem worse. So now I’m contemplating cutting off my locs, which are well past my shoulders. I’m okay getting rid of them if the trade off is not being bald in the top of my head, but am curious about your thoughts, especially since you’re suffering from the same thing. Thanks!!

    Thank you for this. I'm from the UK. I had a consultation in August and was due to have microlocks last week, but my loctician said she couldn't do it because my hair had started thinning and she didn't know the cause. She gave me a refund and recommended a trichologis. I'm gutted because my hair is receding and I'm tired of scarves and wigs, but I know that she's right, so I'll book an appointment.

    HI Renee! I am currently editing that video AS WE SPEAK! LOL!! You should see it post on Saturday actually. Well actually the video doesn't focus on the sisterlocks but it outlines my hair loss to healthy hair journey and includes sisterlocks. In a nutshell, I made proper diet and exercise changes. I used the hairmax laser (I can send you a link if you want more detail), and I used and still use my Follicle Stimulating Growth Drops then and even now to manage my hair loss as they help to stimulating growth among other things.

  • @KarenofCurlHouse

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hello! You can certainly still treat hair loss even with locs, but its best to first determine what type of hair loss you have -- or whats the cause. There are countless causes of hair loss -- hormonal, genetic, diet changes, nutritional deficiencies, medication side effects, etc. Its best to consult with a dermatologist or a trichologist to help you to determine the root cause. Typically treatment consist of both internal and external (or topical via products) to get the best results.
