Hello everyone this is Breanna rather author of one of my most popular books the natural hair Bible and founder of howtoblackhair.com this video is because of an email there that Raquel sent me Raquel said that she is losing a lot of hair she doesn't understand why it is constantly coming out clumps and also seems as if every day she's waking up with a new bald spot on her head so Raquel I am so sorry to hear that I hope for your hair to turn around and as always I am going to give you three suggestions or tips or pieces of advice that I want you to incorporate in order to get your hair back on the right track so the very first thing is that you have to pinpoint the cause or when did you actually start experiencing your hair loss so are you taking new medications are you getting off certain medications are you experiencing a change in diet are you eating too much of your bad foods are you even taking too much vitamins so many different things even age and things like that or hormonal changes can trigger hair loss so what I want you to do is assess or pinpoint when you actually first started experiencing it so that you can figure out what the cause of the issue the second thing I am going to tell you is that you have to make sure they are using quality hair products what I mean by this is that your ingredients have to be water-soluble and in most cases they have to be all natural most products that are the culprit of people who experience it a lot of hair loss are products that are filled with petroleum and silicones these products will stop your hair from being able to effectively retain its thickness and also it will even interfere with the circulation of nutrients in blood flow that's on your scalp so say for instance you like to part your hair and grease your scalp every night or example what's happening is that the petroleum that is sitting on your scalp is constricting your hair therefore constricting your vessels and making it harder for your are hair to receive nutrients to have as much blood flow thus making it thinner or even making your hair fall out so if you referred to my book the black care manual a pocket guide for choosing your best hair products is to understand what it means to actually use quality products what you need to do to make sure that your applying your products correctly as well as what ingredients will work best for your specific hair so I just want you to know that using quality products has a lot as well to do with how well you you can retain your hair and stop hair loss now the last tip is for Raquel as well as what a lot of other people that feel like weaves cause hair loss now some cases wearing extensions can do this number one if they're done too tight or number two if your extensions are too heavy for your hair if you feel like you got to do a balance act and all day your extensions are probably too heavy and if you feel like you got pop Motrin and Advil just to a little sleep through the night your extensions are probably too tight so I just wanted to debunk this whole myth or thing being for this third said that I have based on the fact that weaves cause hair loss or breakage when in all reality what's causing the damage could possibly be the fact that you're not caring for your hair so unhealthy hair is not caused by weaves in most cases is probably because you're not shampooing your hair frequently enough or supplying your hair with moisture enough while you're wearing your extensions so I want you to keep all these tips in mind Raquel I'm not sure what exactly is causing her hair loss all of these things I suggested will put you on the way to figuring out so that you can actually start to grow your hair back so thank you for this email I also want to thank you all for watching and I hope that you enjoyed this and that you actually learned a lot about your hair and what you can do to help it be is best and also before any of you go make sure to sign up for my email list so that you can be automatically entered into giveaways and only there you will receive exclusive content so until then I'll see you all my very next video
