Make sure you’re sleeping on silk pillowcase instead of cotton or have on a silk bonnet. It’s not because your bougie (not that it’s a bad thing) but because you kinda care about your hair. Cotton pillowcases can strip your hair of moisture, causing breakage and/or making hair dry and brittle.“Stop playin in your hair.” - your mom You probably can’t remember how many times she warned you to stop playing in your hair. “You ain’t gon be happy til it all fall out” In this instance, and every other (as we’ve matured to realize), she was right! Avoid over styling, brushing, touching, staring too hard at this area. If you leave it alone, it will grow.
Like the old people say, a watched pot never boils.
Schedule an appointment to visit a doctor.
If you try all of these things and you still see no results, it’s time to consult with your physician. There may be more to your story than what meets the eye. The sooner you can diagnose the problem, the sooner you can get a solution.
With all things, be consistent. These things won’t work unless you do.
