This beautiful client agreed to be filmed during the styling process in order to let other women with delicate crowns (alopecia) see that there are healthy options for their hair! I am so thankful for her transparency and what it allows me to share with the world.

I'm sharing my favorite braiding technique and pattern that gives clients the most coverage for thinner areas of the scalp. I mainly use this foundation for crochet braids, but it also works for other styles with braided foundations like sew-ins, or wig installs.

I plan on sharing MUCH more in 2023, so if you're interested in seeing more of my content, make sure you subscribe to my channel. Like and share this video if it helped YOU! Also, drop by the comment section if you would like to leave a request for some other future types of content.

For all booking/scheduling; I am only accepting returning clients at this time. I don't have a definitive date for if/when I'll open back up to newbies, but if anything changes, I'll keep you all updated!

    You know you can take pumpkin seed oil and turmeric it helps fight alopecia internally and cleaning the scalp with Wich Hazel stimulates growth also every other day rubbing the scalp with wheat germ oil...helps and you will see your hair budding.....as far as diet cut back on sweets and carbs-- Tips given by my dermatologist ...I love helping and giving natural alternatives

    I have the same condition as your client and I love how you styled her hair. This condition is painful and so difficult to deal with. I have never heard of so many black women having Scaring Alopecia until 10 years ago when I was diagnosed. I wonder if years of using synthetic braiding hair is the cause or is it the food we eat. It’s truly heartbreaking to have this condition

    This video gives me hope. I'm really tired of wearing wigs and it seems that has caused my front edges to get thinner. I would love to become a client so that I could feel good again.

    My girl! Can we please have a video on the bridges? I've had alopecia for almost 10 years and I'm so really grateful for videos like yours because it means I can do my own hair. Thanks gurl x
  • I love the fact that you care about the sensitive areas of the hair. I don't like seeing the huge parts in the hair and thanks for caring. I wish you were near me ❤ DFW, TX
  • @nikiaj2390
    My first time seeing a longer length video and I love your tone and teaching technique. thanks for sharing
  • I love the way you explain step by step what you were doing to her hair and would to see another one.
  • @lrussell6668
    I love how to anchor the braids with existing braids. I have watching tons of videos because I am getting my hair done and I have the same issue ❤❤❤

    Hello. I’m new to serving Alopecia and thinning hair clients. This video has been very helpful. I love the fact how you clarify the pattern. Also. I would like to see how you did the bridge from braided hair or yarn.

    This is so well explained even a teenager could follow it. I've watched hundreds of videos but at no time have I watched a video like this one. Everything you said made perfect sense as my brain was locking in all the information you were sharing. A-plus for content, technique, execution, thoughtfulness, explanation of loc method and why you use certain products, etc. You are a great teacher and SIMPLY AMAZING!
  • I love the way you explained everything that you were doing with her hair and to her hair. And that you can actually make it appear that she had hair all over her head when due to the alopecia her hair is coming out. I have almost the same problem but due to medication’s that I’m using my hair is coming out around the edges and on top and also it’s totally turning gray and I don’t know what to do with my hair and every style is I’ve been to they don’t know what to do either. I would love to be one of your clients.

  • @tcummings114
    Delicate is the right word. I too have alopecia and I appreciate the time and care you too with this install. Gave me some great ideas for my hair! Many thanks 😊

    Wow. Sis, your cornrowing and bridging techniques for alopecia coverage are amazing! Can you do a video on your bridging technique? I can tell you are an extremely caring person and want to give your alopecia client's the best haircare and hair style possible. Trust me, you'll always have clients that deeply appreciate how you treat their scalp and hair with so much TLC. I love the facts that: 1) You thoroughly cleanse and moisturize your client's hair using the LOC moisturiziation method. This method definitely decreases the risk of hair breakage.👍 2) You braid gently and don't braid extremely tight.👍 3) You don't put truck loads of gel and other products on your clients' hair, which can clog the scalp's pores and cause hair buildup...not good!👍 I love your client's hairstyle, too!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Yaaaaaas, girl, you nailed it! Where did you purchase the wrist band you used to place the gel on? That's a very handy tool to use.
