Hey guys, I need some help. This year was really hard on me, I had family issues, lost almost all my friends and dropped over 20kgs. As a result, I started balding I got prescribed oral minoxidil 1.5mg in May but my bald spot is only getting bigger. I know minoxidil takes time but what else can I do to fix this? It started off as mild thinning and now it’s like this. I don’t do braids with added hair or anything that will cause heavy tension on my hair. I just stick to low tension two strand twists. I’ve gotten the cécred edge drops and the ordinary hair peptide serum for hair density in hopes that will help me somehow. Moreover I’m only 19 so I don’t understand why the balding is alr happening 😓

Hey all! I’m currently staying at my aunts house for like 7 weeks and the other day I washed my hair which ended up disrupting her draining system. She advised me to stop washing my hair due to the old drainage pipes and wash my hair at a salon. It’s her house so I respect her wishes 100% but is there a way to combat this? She has a rectangular drain so I was thinking of buying this mesh filter from Amazon. The second photo is what the drain looks like in the shower. What can I do? I just started my hair journey and planned to wash weekly. I feel like everything is crashing down rn. Should I just go to a salon every week? (I am searching for some good ones which are cheap) or should I speak to her and show her some alternatives? I don’t wanna ruin her system at all just very discouraged. Any advice to help combat this would be very much appreciated! 🥲❤️

Hey guys! This is my first wash and go, it’s day 1 and I actually just finished doing it and diffusing it. However I don’t think it looks good at all, maybe my expectations were high. I like the side the problem is the front rlly the hairs laid down but now they have dried in an upward position. Not sure if this can be fixed or it’s just my hair type. I tried diffusing and picking at it maybe that’s where I messed up but any advice for my next one? Idek what to change or add or do anymore. Moreover it makes me look more masculine. Hopefully the next few days I’ll see smth better.

Hi all!! I’m trying to go all natural this year. I’ve done some research and gotten all the products I’d realistically need. I am planning to start with wash and go’s. My question however is are the products I got good? Any swaps? Anything to ditch? Moreover I have fine strands, high shrinkage and decent density.

My routine (from all the videos I’ve watched):

1. When I take out my braids I’ll spray water apply the pre shampoo and finger detangle
2. Shampoo
3. Conditioner - detangle here
4. Deep conditioner, leave on while I shower and wash it off at the end

Styling
5. Mousse
6. Curl maker

For other products:
7. Pick - To stretch out my hair after it dries
8. Brush - heard it was good for detangling on 4c hair
9. Satin scrunchies - less friction
10. Spray bottle
11. Oil

Any advice or tips would be helpful 😓
