The thought has crossed my mind before…
…And then it promptly left. 😆

More about my story👇
My hair journey has taken years. If you’re new here, I started having issues with hair loss in 2016. And here’s what I realized.
I needed to do better at caring for myself. 🤍
I had dandruff, buildup, heat damage, & those awful hairs along my hairline you see sticking up? I used to straighten the crap out of my hair and that’s where the most damage was.😳
My dermatologist told me that my hair loss was caused by my migraine medicine. It was weird bc I had taken it for literally a decade and not had any issues. It just goes to show that hair loss can be triggered by many things and at any time!
Other than that, my dermatologist simply advised me to take care of my scalp & figure out the migraines. I pretty much had to learn along the way.
Here’s what I changed.
💛 Address stress. Find an outlet and a way to unwind. I know it’s hard, but you can do it! 🫶
💛 Regular exercise. I honestly think this is what helped my migraines & stress I was able to stop taking my migraine medicine years ago, thankfully. BUT, In the December of 2023 I took a month off going to the gym. And just last week I felt a migraine coming on… so this week I’m back in the gym regularly!
💛 Scalp care. ⭐️ This one has really changed my hair. I now do regular hair oiling and massages & my hair is so much happier.
For a long time I used anti-dandruff shampoos and now I’ve found I no longer need them since doing my scalp care treatments. 🥰
I have more haircare tips, and recommendations, & share what I do for my hair on my page @thickhair_vibes ✨
This page started as just a place to share my hair journey. But I’ve realized many of you have experienced similar things as I have. This is now our space. 💖
Everything I share, I’ve learned from my experience. It’s taken YEARS. More detail on my hair journey & hair routine is pinned to my page!
🩷Use this as your haircare & self-care motivation. 🥹🫶✨

There a different types of hair loss.‼️Here is the best way to determine which type you have. 👇
See your doctor. A dermatologist specializes in hair and skin conditions. They can do proper testing and help you determine the cause.
Something to know! A GOOD doctor will dig deeper to help you determine the cause and best treatment moving forward.
When I had hair loss I had to see 3 different doctors just to get answers.
There’s always a trigger.
Love to anyone dealing with hair loss. ❤️🩹

8 YEARS between each of these photos 🕰️
At 13 I loved hair spray, gel on the ends and straightening my bangs. 😆 iykyk.
At 21 I was into using the cheapest products I could find. Poor college student here ok! But hair loss hit me in the face and I was forced to change a lot of things.
At 29 I’ve found my way. A routine, consistency, & giving it TIME. Tbh people try everything to rush the process. But you truly need to be patient & be gentle on yourself.

HEALTHY HAIR at night matters 🌙
Here are my essentials 👇
✨ SATIN SLEEP BONNET. Prevents frizz & retains moisture.

✨ BONUS. I also use a SATIN PILLOWCASE. It’s great for the skin!
You can also apply some oil to the length before bed. Reveal soft hair in the morning! These tips are essential to RETAINING LENGTH & PREVENTING DAMAGE.

How much HAIR SHEDDING is normal?
⭐️ 50-100 hairs PER DAY ⭐️ BUT!
This can vary depending on the person. 📣
If you do not wash or brush your hair as often, you’ll notice more shedding on your wash days. It’s several days of shedding that’s coming out!
Your hair can actually go through more shedding depending on the SEASON. 🌷🌼🪻
Here’s how I think about SHEDDING 👉 It’s your scalp making way for NEW GROWTH. 🌱 And that’s a good thing!
Keep in mind, hair shedding is not the same as HAIR LOSS. ‼️Consult your doctor for hair loss issues. 🩺

My PRE-WASH routine for HAIR GROWTH 🌱
I wash my hair 2X PER WEEK & always do a scalp treatment before.
My 2 favorite scalp oils are Growing Season by @burburcare & The Innate Life Rosemary treatment.
Here I’m using Growing season on the SCALP & LENGTH of my hair. I’m massaging it in with my GUA SHA comb from @tanmucare 💚
Helps boost circulation, hair growth, and is anti-inflammatory.
Just be sure to double cleanse with shampoo afterwards.
Happy growing! ✨💛 🫧

How you can STOP procrastinating 🧠⤵️
(Follow for more ♥️)
We as human beings make thousands of decisions each day, and it’s in those moments of contemplation that we waste cognitive energy. 💭
If we hesitate for long enough, our bodies will persuade our minds to make decisions that keep us comfortable. That is why we tend to skip workouts and procrastinate on tasks. ❌
The 321 method is extremely simple yet VERY effective. It has you focused on counting down from 3, freeing yourself momentarily from the battle between your mind and body. Then on 1 you immediately move on to a subsequent task.
Since you don’t give yourself time to second guess, you are able to overcome the initial friction point more easily. ✅
I usually do this in the mornings when my alarm clock goes off. Instead of snoozing, I’ll simply roll over, count down from three, and get up. This can be a powerful subconscious tool if you master the habit! 🌟
My favorite hairstyle 🥢

Protective hairstyles are essential for preventing damage & tangles. My hair is in a braid almost every day.
Tip: apply some oil and then secure the hair!

I have decided…
to become an elven princess living in the woods. 🌳✨
Away from the rush of the world, I hear the hush of the leaves through the trees and am enveloped in the calm of the forest.
Close your eyes and just breathe for a moment in time. 🤍
Love,

WASH DAY & GETTING LAYERS ✂️
I got layers in February but I didn’t post it officially for a while bc I kind of had a hair identity crisis afterwards 😂
I hadn’t changed my hair AT ALL IN YEARS so even the slightest change seemed DRASTIC.
But it definitely relieved a bunch of the weight!
When hair becomes a burden, it’s not fun anymore so I think it was a good choice. 🤍 Now that I’ve had time to get used to it, I might even trim it up a bit more down the road!
Fresh haircuts are a perfect reset & just make your hair feel even healthier!

Simple healthy hair routine: DAY AFTER WASH DAY 🧴🫧
Healthy hair is fairly simple. For my routine I always OIL THE LENGTH & ENDS.
💛 One of my go-to oils is @burburcare growing season. This can be used as a scalp treatment & on the ends daily for hydration.
It makes such a difference in PREVENTING DRYNESS & SPLIT ENDS.
Growth serum I only use 3x per week! Once after each wash day on damp hair and then once in between.
I’m going to try filming a week in my haircare routine for you! 🫶
Brow product I’m using here is the @olaplex Brow Bond Building serum. ✨
#haircareroutine #morningroutine #healthyhair #healthyhairfirst #hairhealth #naturalhair #hairoilsforgrowth #hairgrowth
Here are 6 things I do for HEALTHY HAIR
🖤 OIL THE LENGTH & ENDS. I use a couple drops of oil daily to prevent dryness & split ends. It also smoothes the hair & adds SHINE. ✨
🖤 TRIM OFF SPLIT ENDS. Please know split ends are just a part of having hair. BUT you can do things to minimize them and cut them off to prevent further damage.
🖤 SCALP CARE FOR HAIR GROWTH. I like to use scalp serums to help stimulate hair growth. I also notice less shedding with them as well. My favorite serum is the @kerotinhaircare Growth drops.
🖤 SCALP MASSAGE. This increases circulation which has been proven to improve hair growth. It’s also so relaxing & great for relieving stress & tension.🧘🏻♀️
🖤 USE LESS HEAT. Excessive heat styling damages the hair. Try to cut back and use a heat protectant or heatless hairstyles to avoid damage.
🖤 AVOID TIGHT HAIRSTYLES. Pulling on the scalp or hairline can lead to traction alopecia hair loss.
Remember, there aren’t any rules. Do what works best for you! This is what I’ve found has helped during my hair journey. 😊

I’ll keep you posted!
⭐️I oil my scalp 2x per week and do several minutes of scalp via sha. I usually leave it in for about an hour then shampoo thoroughly.
