A hair secret I’ve kept hidden for 7 years…
This was a wonderful video and I am sure it will help many others. Will
they need to cut your locs before the surgery or can they it in a way that
won’t effect them?
Wow, I never knew, I’m sorry that you have traction alopecia, but I wish
you well on your implant journey… sometimes we as black people really do
too much to our hair….I have locks as well, and I just have them styled
once a month, thanks for this video….. I think I’ll stick to crochet
styles when doing other people’s hair and my daughters hair,it’s much
easier and less tension on the hair. Thanks for sharing your story , God
bless you.
I’m happy you had the courage to share, but know that you have lots of
company. I was loced for 7 years (16″ of locs), before cutting it all off
bald due to thin edges (traction alopecia). Like you I found ways to style
my hair without showing my edges, but I couldn’t take it anymore I was so
depressed. Went to countless Dermatologists, one who even told me my
options were limited here in Kingston, Jamaica, and that I should “just
live with it”. Fortunately, I kept searching, only to discover a hair
restoration clinic a half hour’s drive from home! I did 3 months of laser
treatment and my hair grew back in time for my best friend’s wedding. I was
thrilled beyond words. Unfortunately, laser treatments are expensive, added
to which I had a bad experience with a hair color, and my hair fell out
again (yes, you have to keep up the treatments, altho not as often as
before) 🙁 ….it was then I decided to cut it all off (last year January
2014). I tried everything, including castor oil, coconut oil, you name it,
I tried it. A cousin who is a Dermatologist even gave me free Cortisone
shots for over 3 months, but no growth…ouch!!! Finally, I heard about the
Profectiv Growth Renew line of hair restoration products, specifically
Temple Restoration topical spray. Finally, something affordable that
actually works. My edges have not completely grown out, but I have seen at
least 80% growth over the past 6 months. So much so, that I restarted my
locs, with human hair extensions on January 3, 2015. I’m just sharing so
that those of you who may have similar issues, yet are hesitant to make the
investment to do surgery, can give this product a try. The Hair Clinic here
in Jamaica also does the surgery, but the cost is a mitigating factor. I
may consider some time in the future, but not right now. I pray the surgery
was a success Jasmine. ..much blessings.
It takes courage to be transparent. All the best to you during this time.
You have my support in your decision.
You are not alone. Thank you for your courage and honesty.
I had locs for 13 years and I was guilty of palm-rolling the front and top
of my hair dry – not wet – and every week, sometimes every few days if a
special occasion came up. I also wore my hip-length locs down a lot or
pulled tightly away from my head in a ponytail. No loc bangs, no side
bangs, no loose updo’s – nothing. Compound that with the fact that I have
fragile, soft 4a hair.
Funny, you started your locs in 2007, I cut my locs off the following year
because of a silver dollar-sized bald spot at the top of my head from me
over-palm-rolling. My edges were okay but hair above my forehead had
receded slightly. I really didn’t want to cut my locs. If I had known about
hair restoration surgery back then, I would have done that. I have been a
loose natural for seven years and I don’t like being a loose natural,
anymore. It’s too much work for me, personally (I’m not talking badly about
any other loose natural; my daughter is a loose natural). My loose natural
hair did enable me to grow back in the top of my hair but it grew back in
finer, softer, and slightly thinner than the rest of my hair . . . and kind
of gray.
I’ve seen many locked naturals suffering from the same thing.
You are brave, mature and kind to say you have no one to blame but
yourself. I like that you didn’t cut off your locs. Although, if you did
that of course it’s your right and choice. I’d like to add that information
on how not to thin out your locs is not as popular as advocating
super-manicured, tightly palm-rolled, tight slick styles because it’s more
lucrative for salon locticians for you to pay them often. Because of
YouTube, which was in its infancy during my final year of locing, I’ve
learned that it’s not necessary to palm-roll so often and I’ve learned
about loose styles, etc. If you don’t know, you don’t know!
wow. who knew? respect, sister; complete and total respect. i looked back
at some of your vids and –all i can say is that i (we?) couldn’t tell. you
are brave for sharing your story. you have my support as i am a long time
fan. congratulations and i send you warm hugs and wish you all the best.
ps: i’m on my 4th set of locs. more than 10 years ago i had similar hair
dramas. i smirked at your ‘white jewish doctor’ experiences. one actually
told me i was braiding my hair too tightly. when he touched my hair, i
cringed, as he came at me as if he was touching something nasty. i left his
office in tears. i finally found a black doctor in brooklyn too! he treated
me holistically and his remedy was what healed me and brought my hair back.
i’ll be there during your journey. all the best, sister girl. xxx/ooo

Hi jazz
I got alopecia areata when i was 7 years old and i struggled for years to
get it to go away
Finally when i was 12. It was gone completely. All my hair had grown in.
Now i am 14 and its back. I have being trying to go to a natural path and
I’m hoping its going to work again. As a kid i felt like i was the only
person in thr world who had it. Now that we have social media and stuff,
its really inspiration to see these kinds of videos.Thank you
Your so beautiful btw
Sending prayers and blessings your way for a safe procedure and speedy
recovery. :)

Traction Alopecia, or not, Sis you are a beautiful person with such a

recovery! Remember God is in control!! Be Blessed Sis! Can’t wait to see

You are so amazing and strong and I am beyond proud of you for being so
open. I have had similar experiences with the dermatologist. One even told
me he wouldn’t even treat me unless I cut my locs. On top of that, I’ve
been battling adult acne so the medical expense has been challenging to say
the least. Needless to say you have my full support. Sending positive vibes
your way.
Candid videos are always appreciated.
I have that issue as well. The word of God says that a woman’s hair is her
crowning glory. You do what is necessary to save your hair. I’m working
on mine. The only thing with my thinning temples is there is hair there,
but it does not grow any longer then finger nail length. The crown is
filling in, but is very thin and my locs hardly covers it unless I pull
hair from the back up. I’ve only had my locs for 3 years, but because I
know that there is help for me, I’m going to do everything in my power to
save them and not cut them. I’m praying for you and all the other ladies
who are plagued with this issue… My thing is, I’m not going to let it
take anything from me, I’m going to beat it and so will you. Nothing beats
a failure, but a trier… May God’s blessings be upon you in this new hair
growth journey…
Thanks so much I’ve been experiencing loss in the hairline and edges for
awhile seeing video lets me know I’m not the only one hope the restoration
works for u
Jasmine you are a lovely young lady. I was about to cry hearing your
story. I hope your procedure will be a success so you can get on with your
life. Stay optimistic.
Thanks for sharing with us! You are beautiful and I think it’s awesome that
you are going to do something to fix something that you are unhappy with.
It’s funny because I too watched Destiny Godley’s journey and was amazed by
her process. Although I don’t have traction Alopecia I never liked my hair
line. I feel it’s very masculine and I always strayed away from wearing
styles where my hair is off my face. It’s one of the main reasons I wear my
hair down all the time. I’m forward to your progress! You definitely have
my support!
I have alopecia also. I know how difficult this must have been for you. My
bald spot is in the crown and thankfully my hair is thick enough so I can
hide it. But it still bothers me. Glad that you did something about it. I
am planning to have hair restoration surgery also I am proud of you for
sharing this journey you would be surprised by how many black women suffer
in silence. I wish you great results and a speedy recovery. Hugs
Thank u for sharing this honey. Please give an update when u can. U are
truly beautiful!!!
Your traction alopecia doesn’t take away from your beauty, like you’re
still one of the best looking girls on youtube. I can’t see the problem,
but I don’t know much about it, does yours spread? Or is it just that the
hair there won’t grow back?
I am surprised. Argan Life is so much prevailing .
Oh Jazz good luck and all the best!
Thank you so much for sharing I have the same issue from years of braids
from braid shops as a child. I am newly locd and tempted to retwist often
and to retwist tightly. You sharing this has really helped me understand
why I shouldn’t do that and I am moving forward with my locs but will be
doing so with more care.
Sharing this is so empowering and I am so glad that you did and I hope
freeing yourself of the secret that so many of us suffer from is as
empowering for you as it has been for me. Wishing you the best through your
recovery from surgery.
