Natural Hair Update: I Have Seborrheic Dermatitis + How To Do A Roller Set For Extra Volume

Hi, what's up my loves, welcome back to my channel if you are new here. Thank you so much for clicking on my video today um my name is Janiece and we are all about hair here. So today's video is going to be an update on my hair condition and what's been going on with my natural hair um. What I've discovered products all that good stuff and then I'm also going to be trying out a roller set to add some volume to my hair for the first time and as you can see here, it turned out really well, I'm smiling because I love the results. Like I've never tried this before, and this is just like everything it's giving everything it needs to give. So if you're interested in hearing me chat a little bit and also seeing how I achieve this, look then keep on watching all right. So I have pressed my hair out off camera just because I wanted to get through it quickly and y'all have seen me press my hair out in multiple videos. So I didn't think that I really needed to walk through that again. But the part that I really wanted to show y'all, and this is actually my first time doing this girl. I don't even know how this will turn out. We'D love to see. I am going to attempt to make my curls last using rollers, so your old school good, oh rollers, I got them in the size, one and three fourths, because my hair is short. I didn't want them too, too big, but then I didn't want them to be super tight. So that's why I got this size. I have two packs of 12.. I don't know how many I'm gon na end up needing we're just gon na wing this and see how it turns on the end, but as I'm doing this showing y'all how I do this, I wanted to update y'all on my hair situation. So a few videos, I've talked about um how my hair is thinning a bit, how I'm suffering from dandruff. So I think that I have seborrheic dermatitis. I haven't officially been diagnosed by a dermatologist. I haven't, haven't even seen a dermatologist yet to be completely honest with y'all um, but based on all of the symptoms, based on what my hair is doing, I seriously think I am like 95 sure that's what it is I'll insert a picture of what my flakes Look like it's more of like a scaling than it is like dandruff, and I think that's like the number one clue to uh figuring out if it's like, actually seborrheic dermatitis or not, because dandruff is more of like it's just kind of like small little tiny. Like flakes that, like fall on your shoulder, this is more of like large peeling in a sense, and they don't really like fall of my scalp they're more like stuck to my scalp, that's kind of like the first giveaway, then the second giveaway is my hair is Thinning, I know that y'all can't really tell, but if you look closely, I don't know if y'all can really see it, but like it's happening right around here and I've watched so many videos, I've read so many reviews of like people that actually do have support dermatitis. That experience the same type of thinning around their hairline and then also the third thing. That'S making me really think this is seborrheic dermatitis is, I noticed so I was using Nizoral, like I mentioned in my last update video, but I only use nice and roll like two or three times and then I stopped because I thought the dandruffs were gone or What I thought was dangerous at the time I thought it was gone, so I was like okay. I don't need to use this anymore, so I stopped using it that was maybe like a month ago and last week. Actually, I noticed that my flaking was coming back, and so I was like shoot. Maybe I should have continued the Nizoral, even though I didn't see any more dandruff just to make sure it doesn't return. And so I try not to wear my hair in slick buns anymore, because they're really not the best for your hair. They cause a lot of breakage and they're, just not really as healthy as we think they they are, or as much of a protective style as we think they are but anyways. I did wear my hair in a bun a few times last week and I try not to pile on a ton of product so that my scalp can breathe, because I thought that that was another reason why I was suffering from these issues. And even though I wasn't piling a ton of products, I was using like this smoothing gel or smoothing agent, smoothing balm or something like that by my L, and so after I started noticing the flakes came back. I looked at the products and it has alcohol in it, so those that have seborrheic dermatitis know that or maybe you do, maybe you don't. I don't know but based on the research I've done on it. Alcohol is one of the main ingredients that causes a flare-up, and so I just thought it was super ironic that I was using a product that had alcohol in it and then all of a sudden, I started to see the flaking again. I'Ve only done like surface level, research on seborrheic dermatitis uh. I need to do a whole lot more, but there are a list of products that really irritate the scalp and if you have support dermatitis, you really have to stay away from those products. Otherwise, you will have a flare-up. The most frustrating thing about seborrheic dermatitis is that there's no cure for it, it's kind of the equivalent to having like eczema or psoriasis. I don't really know if psoriasis and support dermatitis are like the same thing, but it's really like the equivalent to having eczema on your scalp. So it's like, you can't really cure it, but you can do things to like manage it and keep the flare-ups at Bay, and so that's the most like frustrating thing about it is y'all know I love hair, I'm always playing in my hair, and I was literally This morning, like just going through all the products I have up under my sink and they all have alcohol in it. Like I said alcohol is not the only ingredient that will cause a flare-up if you have severe dermatitis, but alcohol is one of the main ones. Literally, all of my products had alcohol in it, so I just currently feel stuck um. I don't know what products to use. I'M sure I know that there has to be alcohol-free products out there, products that are alcohol-free, sulfate, free, paraben, free all these other harmful chemicals which it's actually crazy, because when I was going through all of my products earlier this morning, trying to figure out which ones I can use which ones I can't there were a few ingredients. I didn't really know what they were, and so I Googled them just to make sure it wasn't alcohol in it. There'S one that starts with a PE or actually list it below. So y'all can pay attention to this in your hair care products, but there's one that starts with a p and when I researched it, it's like a well-known carcinogen, a carcinogen like a carcinogen that causes cancer. It'S crazy! How many chemicals there are in our products that we do not know about um? It'S just it's crazy! It'S sad it's unfortunate, and so you just want to make sure like whenever you pick up a product, read the ingredients, because not everybody suffers from a Sensitive Scalp like me, but you don't want your body, your blood, to be absorbing those chemicals anyway, regardless of, if You suffer from a Sensitive Scalp or not like they're, just not good, for you, they're not healthy. So I feel like I'm about to embark on a hair care Journey. Um, it's gon na be frustrating, but hopefully I am able to find products that are healthy and that won't irritate my scalp won't cause flare if y'all have any suggestions or if y'all know about some products that are alcohol free, please leave them below like. I am in desperate need of products because, right now I just I do not know what to do with my hair. Like I'm lost, I am frustrated. I'M confused. My hair has always been my form of self-expression right. I know a lot of people say I am not my hair, you shouldn't be defined by your hair, but it's a little bit deeper than that. To me, hair is Art to me in a sense, like hair has always reflected my mood um my personality, how I'm feeling at the time and so for that to kind of be taken away from me in the sense where I can't really do as much as I usually do with my hair, it's like literally being stripped of like just something that's a passion of mine and something that I love. So I can't lie to y'all, I'm really having a hard time with my hair. Luckily, I work from home a majority of the time, so I have the flexibility to just let my hair like be free, and you know I don't really have to worry about styling, my hair too much but like I said, regardless of whether I'm around people or Not hair has always been a form of self-expression for me. Hopefully it starts to get better. The one thing I have read that is very promising about seborrheic dermatitis and hair loss. Is that a hair loss that you experience from support and it's not necessarily hair loss from seborrheic dermatitis? The hair loss really comes from like the inflammation. So when you have sephoric dermatitis, your scalp is inflamed um and there's some type of like bacteria inflammation or, if like fungus, going on on your scalp, and so that's what really causes the hair loss. But I read that once you kind of get the seborrheic dermatitis under control, the inflammation under control, your hair will grow back. I have not come across an article that says your hair won't grow back. So that's really the part that I'm holding on to Hope about. I want to take y'all on this journey. As I learn things about my hair learn things about the ingredients I can use the products I can use can't use as I find new and healthy products. I just want to take y'all on this journey and loop y'all in because I know that I'm not the only person out there going through this. I'Ve literally been talking for 12 minutes, and so this is why I can't do like Chit Chats. While I'm doing my hair - because I will literally not do my hair like we'll - be just chatting for the whole video, so um all right - let's get into this here - so y'all - I've literally never used rollers before I don't know how to do this. We'Re gon na wing it because one thing about me: I don't like to follow instruction like I don't like to watch tutorials, which is super ironic um, but I really don't like to watch tutorials. I think it it's all about patience. I don't have the patience to do that, so I like to just Wing stuff up and try it and like do it um. Even when I put my furniture stuff together, I literally I will look at the picture. I don't read the instructions like I. I don't know it's some weird thing, so I don't even know how to apply rollers we're just gon na figure it out. This is not really meant to be a heatless method, because obviously I press my hair out. I blow dry, my hair, so that is all heat, inclusive and the way that I'm gon na do it do this. Is I'm gon na actually curl my hair with a curler and then go behind with a ruler to secure it? And I'm doing this because my hair, I don't know if it's just my hair texture, because it's so like sleek and like fine a little bit. I think my hair is fine. I know people say otherwise. My hair is fine to me um. I don't know if it's because my hair is so fine, but it doesn't really hold a curl, especially when it's fresh. Now, if it's like four day old hair, it may hold a curl a little bit better, but I am using the rollers to be able to hold a better curl and to give my hair just more volume. So again, this is not a heatless method, so I don't want y'all to be confused with that, because I know a lot of people will use rollers instead of like using heat to like give their hair volume. But that's not what I'm doing I'm using the curlers or the. What do you call these? The uh rollers using the rollers on here that have already been straightened. My hair is dry uh, so we're gon na see if this works, because I know a lot of times you're here asking me dance or some type of product in order for it to come out right, so we're just gon na experiment and see how this works. I am going to stop talking so that I can actually get this done because the Sun is setting - and I don't like the lighting when the sun sets. So, let's um, let's try to do like. I don't even know like how do I part throughout all right. Let'S just get y'all okay, so these rollers were such a struggle for me. I don't know why. I guess you would think that I should just know how to do this, but I don't. It was my first time doing it. Like I said, and so I was like completely clipping it in the wrong place, like literally just struggling low-key, I think this size is a bit too big. I think the next time I do this, I'm gon na go a tad bit smaller, but overall I was just completely lost. Swag lost - and I probably struggled through this for like a good 10 minutes, and then I ended up having to give my mom a call because I'm like I need help. Okay, how do you use Roblox like how do you make them stay smaller? Well, I don't have a smog, but you know you should invest in some hot rollers. You would really like the hot rod, so you're gon na have to clip it at the bottom, not at the top roll it all the way down. So it's secure up against your neck you're right make it as tight as you can now clip it. No not that way. What did it so that it's also clipping your hair on your neck, okay, yeah, right, okay! So after struggling through it, I finally got it uh. The bottom was a bit of a struggle. I guess, because my hair is a little bit shorter, but after I got past that bottom row, it's a little bit easier. So y'all, just gon na see me go through my whole head gon na curl it with my T3 curler first and then it gon na instantly or immediately go behind with the ruler and clip the roller down so enjoy this part, foreign foreign foreign foreign. Thank you, foreign, the best I can do with these rollers, I'm not gon na lie. This was not easy and I'm sure it just probably takes practice like once I do it a few times like I'll, probably get it, but this is like literally my first time doing, rollers so yeah. I am going to secure my rollers with a scarf, but I don't even know how to do that sis. So, let's look that up real, quick, all right, so homegirl just went like this yeah, oh what okay, so I'm gon na leave my hair. Looking like this. For probably about an hour or so and then I'm gon na come back and take the I don't even know if the hour is long enough, but the hour is all I have, because I need to go. Take my dogs outside in a second. So I'm gon na leave my hair like this and then I'm gon na come back and um take the rollers out and we are gon na see how this works. If it works in me and honestly, if it did work, I'm still gon na post this anyway. So y'all can tell me what the heck I did wrong because I'm lost all right. Okay, see y'all in an hour all right, so it is about an hour later um, it's dark now, but that's okay, we're at the end of the video. So it's cool! I ended up having to put my Bonnet on because I could not keep the scarf on so I needed something to help secure. I just really hope this comes out. The way that I want it to come out because I'm gon na be so upset. If it doesn't so all right, let's take this off. Please yeah! What is that? What what is this? Okay, so we're just gon na start from the bottom? You know what I'm just gon na take them out and we're just gon na see ya and y'all like. If, if you feel like there's something I could have done differently, please let me know because I feel like I want to make this ow. Why is it all throw under like that? I don't like that. I want to make this a thing like. I want to be able to use rollers to like give me more volume, so if there was something that I could have done better y'all, please let me know okay so boom. Yes, all right y'all! This is yeah, I'm like so scared, because I can't use like. Oh, it came out so good, okay, I can't use like any hairspray or anything because of the ingredients, so I'm really scared to like comb through it, because I don't want it to like fall. You know yeah. This came out so good, I'm so happy. I want to lay my edges down real quick. Let me go get. Can I even use edge control? We just don't use a little bit y'all. This is everything uh. Where has this been all of my life like? Why am I just now using a roller set? I'M so happy and excited with how this turned out, like literally this is about to be my go-to, because I feel like there's something about like using a curling iron that just does not give it this much body, which is why I really wanted to try this Method like this is always what I'm trying to achieve with a curling iron and I just feel like I never really get it so yeah. I'M super excited with how this turned out y'all leave a comment. Tell me what you think. I know I said um. Let me know if there's something I could have done differently but honestly, like I'm So Satisfied with this, I mean feel free to give questions anyway, but I do really like the way that it came out.
