The idea that "Beauty is pain" is the root cause. 3 years being a Natural now, I care for my own hair and I realized how much damage salons inflicted on my scalp and hair in the name of styling for 10+ years salon visits. I always thought I had weak edges. Sometimes I did get bumps from braids. Now my scalp, edges, hair are healthier. Health 1st always.

Yes beauty is pain is a something that we should really do away with now. It’s time to leave tight braids and tight styles alone so that we can have full strength with our hair. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people get braids sooo tight they have to take pain medicine. It’s ridiculous! Thank you for watching and commenting!

A woman who put in braids for me once said, "the reason you're so scared of the pain is because you've never had a baby, so once you have a baby you'll know real pain." I took the braids out 2 days later. I'm surprised my scalp didn't suffer to bad. Now nobody touches my hair besides myself and my mother.

Omg!!!! How dare she??? Pain is never normal when getting a hair style. It is a sign the hair is way too tight. Glad you took the braids out and didn’t have severe damage. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

Thank you for watching!!! My dermatologist said black women are the number 1’s in his office due to traction alopecia. He tells people to stop wearing tight braids and weaves but they don’t listen until it’s literally too late. Tight ain’t right. I’ve seen kids hair so slicked back it looked like they had face lifts. There needs to be a cultural shift in the black community when it comes to the notion that slicked back, tight and laid is what hair is supposed to look like.

Awesome commentary! Very informative video. Most of the people I have spoken to say they endure the pain for several weeks of convenience. They like not having to really spend time styling on a day to day bases. Short term convenience vs long term hair loss.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I understand the desire to not have to do your hair daily or several days a week, however, it’s madness to continue to allow any stylist or braided to install styles that are just too tight. I was shocked when my dermatologist told me that 1/3rd of all black women suffer from some form of traction alopecia. It immediately made me think about all the styles I’ve ever had, and thankfully I’ve never had any that were tight. Yes, I want my braids to last but I want my hairline to last longer.

You can really sing! And this was informational

I agree that the level of information surrounding traction alopecia is much more visible now than before. I don’t think anyone realizes what’s going on until it’s too late. I did this video on the hopes to raise awareness around the subject since black women are the most susceptible to this condition.

I've never experienced this but I have spoken up about a braider not braiding my edges so tight and she told me that she didn't want it to look bad like as is my request didn't matter and she was just worried about the look of my hair incase someone asked me where I got it done at. After that I decided I didn't want to get my hair braided professionally unless I knew I could trust that person.

Hey love! Thanks for watching. I’ve been seeing so much about hair loss in young black women, it was shocking.

If you could avoid having to get a hair transplant, please do ladies. A hair transplant is expensive and a looooong process.

I agree! The styles that snatch peoples edges are NOT worth it.

Hey I personally lost hair on both sides worse on the left as result of a stylist having pulled my hair tight into cornrows. Over time I lost hair in left frontal plus left and right edges to behind ears due to it. I have two people who don't do it tightly and I let them do it. My confidence was zero due to loss of hair tho it wasn't permanent loss of hair. With help from those people, the My left and right side completely grown back somewhat but it is growing in gradually. My left side needs more growth tho for it to be full once again. I tend to tuck it under my full hairs due to it. Any tips?? Over years I find essential oil products work for me but I was natural for a few years now. Oh and my confidence is coming back over time as I see growth.
