    it's the worst! My hairline receded so badly I thought my forehead was just getting bigger 😭I hope your derm helps you out, castor oil and flat twisting the front + edges worked really well for me, I've been forgetting to do it recently so they're falling out again🤦🏾‍♀ @@cierral1170

    The orginator also flat ironed the hair so that way you get rid of the texture, so it doesn't tangle as much.🤗

    I think you should give yourself a full year and just wear braids or maybe some sort of crochet style. Stay away from anything where you have to manipulate your hair just leave it completely alone I’m telling you it will do wonders because my hair grew so much when I left it alone for a year or so, as soon as I went back to doing ponytails and everything else that’s when my hair started to break off again because I was doing it on a consistent basis. I have faith that your hair will grow healthy. Also look into hair oils that’s for rejuvenating the hair follicles.
