How I Fixed My Bald Spot. | Diy Rogaine On 4C Natural Hair

nisipisa: i remember back when i shaved my head and hated it, i was desperate enough to look for rogaine at the drugstore. upon seeing the price i thought 'you know what? lemme just learn to accept myself; this is absurd'

NappyFu TV: Ohhhh the power of oils!!! I can never leave it’s side. I’m sticking beside it …..for life!!!! Dannnnnniiiii so happy you are seeing progress!!! Yes rosemary is the business!! I hope you update us again in a few months!

Nthatuwa Tshabalala: Seriously can’t stress how good Fluffnugget is looking. This has been the biggest and best hair transformation I have had the pleasure of keeping up with on this platform. I’m honestly stunned every time I see your hair because it’s continuing to flourish and reach new lengths, and we ALL know it was a wild journey getting here. SO HAPPY FOR YOU DANIELLE ✨✨ you look amazing!

Dovie Food: I was literally just sitting here depressed about my same bald spot in the crown of my hair and then I opened up YT and low and behold you made a video about how you fixed yours! You are an inspiration. I have 4c hair too with about the same qualities as Fluff Nugget

Nickynatro *: I see healthy written all over your hair. Oh and to all the person's experiencing a similar issue, you got this! You will get through it.

MT: PLEASE get your scalp checked by a dermatologist to properly diagnose your condition and I strongly encourage anyone else going through this to do the same. This could be the cause of a serious scalp condition and can come back again 3 times worse than before. This could also be the cause of an underlying medical condition (autoimmune disorders, hormone imbalance, etc.). I'm all for natural remedies; however, you should also KNOW what you are treating. Blessings☀️!

Ashanti Bell: Honestly it’s comforting to see such a relatable situation. I’ve had a bald spot in my crown on and off and just thought something was wrong with me. But I’m not alone (:

ononaokisama: This brings me so much comfort I’ve been experiencing an issue with a semi bald spot. Its not bald but it’s way short than everything. Thank you for giving people with hair like us an outlet for expression and teaching

Natalie: Bald spot or not you’re still gorgeous girl, just gorgeous

Happy Intrinsic: It’s comforting seeing a representation of black hair and still using oils . You know, that ingredient that some claims doesn’t help our hair grow I almost fell for the hype . Anyways, I appreciate your videos and your hair growth has been a glorious watch . ❤️

TwoBlocks: Something to note: if your bald spot is caused by something bacterial or fungal you should avoid touching the dropper to that area so no bacteria gets on the dropper itself. Also I looooove rosemary! She’s that gurl

Reticulating Splines: I've been natural since 2009 and had a bald/thin spot in that exact location for 13 years. You have no idea how groundbreaking this is to me. Thank you, Danielle and Fluffnugget!

MeInternally: Omg, is it just me or has everyone been going through this?? I'm currently trying to regrow mine as well. Thank you for posting this video and to anyone experiencing this- you got this

Kier Coleman: I suffer from this and was diagnosed with CCCA, a form of alopecia that is most common among black women. It is usually accompanied by an itching or sensitive scalp but can be reversed if treated early. It can also be reoccurring, funny thing is rogaine was definitely given to me in form of a scalp grease along with Rosemary and biotin. It’s a scarring alopecia so if anyone else has this I’d suggest seeing a dermatologist ASAP.

Feed Your Inner .Chef: Shout out to you Danielle (consistency) I just realized what my issue is, I don't have enough patience I don't think I've ever tried any routine for any longer than maybe two weeks and I've never done it consistently (been natural for 14+years) you got me thinking I definitely want to watch that video and see how you grew fluff nugget. As a fellow 4C natural with short low density porosity hair (you know what I mean) thank you for your patience!

Marcotc17: I'm going to try this! I used Rogaine for my male pattern baldness many years back and it did work, but then I got a dog. Sounds like an odd reason to stop using it, but the active ingredient (minoxidil) is toxic to dogs and cats. :( As a result of stopping, I have lost a LOT of hair and have gotten SUPER thin. This sounds like a safer route. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you find many a rosemary shortbread cookie, Danielle! (imagining old-school Zelda game graphics but instead, Danielle jumps around to collect the cookies, and Fluffnugget allows her to fly to higher places and exit the level . . . okay I'm done now)

Nickynatro *: This has to be a scary thing for any naturalist. I am so happy that your scalp and hair is doing better. You are glowing by the way...like always❤️.

Gothic Elegance: Thank you for doing the research I wasn’t willing to do!!! As a stylist (newer) I don’t have all the answers but I’m sometimes scared to explore and find the answers- your videos have been and continue to be some of the most used and entertaining to me.

Risha 843: Your eyebrows are EVERYTHING. I literally just subscribed because of that, before I even watched the video. Love your personality ❤

Sasa18Girl: Y’all I’m convinced that getting a bald spot is part of the journey cause I’ve seen so many women dealing with this. I have dense hair, it’s the longest and healthiest it’s ever been and I’m dealing with this( but it is growing back ). Patience , being active / consistent and being kind to yourself is key. ❤️

Ashlynn T.: I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I made a rosemary oil mixture myself with almost the same oils and stopped using it because of itching. I'm definitely going back and making another batch to try it again. Rogaine was suggested by my dermatologist and I refused to use it for personal reasons as well lol so I'm definitely going to try the oil again.

Adrianna: You hair has grown so much and yes girl I would like to see a time lapse! I’m struggling with my nape. I used to pick at it because of my anxiety but I cut the habit and it’s finally growing back!

Brotha on an Adventure: I started watching this channel as I was starting my own hair restoration journey. Seeing the love StarPuppy gives her hair really motivated me to stick with it. I am fortunate to be a strong responder and my treatments have my hair returning rapidly. So much of our identity is tied to our hair, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't twice fold for a woman. I hope some women suffering with hairloss draw inspiration from StarPuppy.

Misime33: Star puppy, I am very happy to see your hair journey and the results. When it comes to oils my rule of thumb is menthols. That’s peppermint, mints, tea tree oil, etc. When I put oils in my hair, it’s nice to have some sensation to low key tell me “it’s working”. I already hate putting oils on scalp because I hate having oily hair (makes me hair more untamed and way more curly then I want it to be). But like you, I have a section of my head where hair is thin to not there. So if I must oil my hair, I want the cooling effect so that I know something is happening.

I Am Sharon: OMG, Dannielle! I just took my braids out and I had a bald spot at my edges! I have NEVER had edge issues. I guess between dying my gray hairs along my temple and my braids being put in so tight by my braider HENCE ball spot. I saw this video back when you did it, but I couldn't remember or place who or what to use, but I knew I had seen some content about bald spots and it was likely II had everything I needed right up under my nose to treat the issue. Sure 'nough! I had all the oils. Arghan, Almond, Jojoba and the magic ingredient, Rosemary oil right in my stash. Thank you!!! I just started today. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Kimmoni Bailey-Griffiths: CCCA alopecia, the most common alopecia that affect black women. I experienced the exact same thing and there are definitely natural remedies that can combat it. Thanks for sharing. Your fluff nugget is beautiful!

JK golden: Thanks for this video. I have had a similar issue. I do want ppl to also know that having a bald spot/ sparse hair in an area could be due to a medical condition. I saw a trichologist and a dermatologist. There could be systemic things like lupus, iron deficiency, hormon dysregulation etc...or more local conditions like Alopecia areata, CCA, fungal scalp infection etc. Also think of the type of hairstyles...are they high tension, do you always part the same way? All that being said...our scalp is telling us something. Let's pay attention.

Brenda Immie: A time-lapse of how you defeated sparse density hair would be nice. Also fluff nugget looks so healthy . Love to see it!

Laniiyah Scott: Your hair is so thick and voluminous!! Fluff nugget is flourishing!! Im experiencing a little breakage in the crown area myself. So I'm going to put it in a protective style and nurse it back to health. You got this!!

Larry Jake: Hi, I'm a guy with your exact hair type, and also sparse density and I have locs. I have the same spot you have in pretty much the same location. Just wanted to say I appreciate your content. Have you ever considered using a derma roller as well on that spot and then adding the oil? Would it be helpful, I wonder? Side note: I got a keeps ad in the middle of your video, for a moment my self esteem dropped

The Jersey Comic: As someone w/ the same exact hair, I would love that time lapse vid of your techniques

Tumani Calata: I’m in month 2 of transitioning and my mom advised I wash my hair with rosemary water. Luckily this grows in my yard so I’m gonna try that for a while, especially for my receding hairline (edges). Love you and your videos.....Fluff nugget looks totally fantastic

Kimberly Michelle Thomas: Hey, Danielle. I am not ANY kind of expert (trichologist, dermatologist, cosmetologist, etc...) but the placement and shape of your bald spot (crown section, in a circular expanding pattern) looks a lot like Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, or CCCA. I had a tiny spot in the same area that began as the size of a dime and became much larger that turned out to be CCCA. The only way I've been able to to take control of it and reverse the damage for good has been to speak with a trichologist & dermatologist who have helped me to combat the actual cause of the issue: scalp inflammation. Oh, and I'm HELLA allergic to most (scented) hair products lol but you don't seem to have that issue. Fluffnugget is absolutely beautiful, and I'm so happy that you've seen success. Just wanted to share the little info I have in case it may help you to maintain your hair health. Best of luck with your journey and thank you for your delightfully quirky, hilarious, honest, and heartfelt vids! If I don't see you in a Wes Anderson film like SOON ya girl is gonna go off. xoxo

Annyetta: Yes, please give us a video on your increased density journey I'm so glad that you were able to fix your bald spot.

solarLola: My mom had a big bald spot in the same area. I changed her hairstyle to high very loose puffs. Her hair has completely grown in..it was her hairstyle that caused the problem

7101jy: What in da damn hell! Gurl I did not knoweth you were in the same boat as me. I was out here feeling defeated as hell over my baldini head after doing a big chop and still having a major bald spot. Thank you for always sharing your journey with us. I will be trying out these methods!

STEPHANIE: Rosemary,Peppermint and Lavender oil are all great for bald spots...add a lil pumpkin seed oil and thank me later☺

Shay007: Yasss sis!!! I'm rocking out with you. Consistency is key..I'm treating my spot and I know I see changes considering I have a consistent treatment plan. Let's go!!!!

Ayanda Miti: Her saying “I defeated my sparsed density” so excitedly with her hands in the air I felt really bad about my sparsed density, thin stranded head of hair I was really proud of . Dang it.

Ambria Ashley: When I was a teen (like 2010), my mom booked me a special appointment with a Black dermatologist to talk about my thinning hair. She recommended MEN'S Rogaine to me. It helped, but it made my skin break out I'm so happy I found this video. I've avoided that stuff ever since then & rosemary oil seems like a much healthier alternative!!

Kiryl B: Thank you Starpuppy for doing the research, and following thru with it for a whole month!!! I soo happy in how Fluffnugget is doing!! I have some spots like that do to medical reasons but, who knows maybe if I give this a try it might help!!❤❤❤

Phyllis Ingram: I wanted to share my experience with you. I watched your video a few weeks ago. Once I finished, I mixed up some rosemary oil to test out the effects on my hair. I found that as I grew older, my hair was not as thick and full as it had been when I was younger, 20s. It was see through. Well 30 days later, my hair is much thicker and very full. My bun is now drool worthy again! Thank you for all you’re doing for our hair.

shakeaboot: I'd love to see a video on how you increased you hair density! I have medium to low density, but I don't know if that is my full natural density or not. I would love to see if you did anything I'm not already doing.

G2G Hair & Makeup Artistry LLC: I love your weirdness!!! It's great to see other black woman that aren't necessarily fitting in the " black girl mold"! Definitely my type of humor!

Mariah Wisdom-Peters: You are so beautiful, with or without hair. But also you should be so proud of yourself! My Mum had to go through a similar thing after a hairdresser used the wrong thing on her hair a left her with a bald bit in the middle of her head. Its better now, but it was a real confidence shaker!!!!

Ashley: Yes we want the video on the steps you took to get your hair flourishing! So glad your hair is doing well!

Lori Johnson: I have the same issue with my crown. I've been using a special oil blend created by my cosmetologist. I use every night and I'm seeing a marked improvement in my crown. I also focus on nutrition adding whey protein powder and collagen supplement powder with my multivitamin. Also eating a lot of healthy greens (kale, spinach, swiss chard, and beet leaves).

is that a chicken?: The most impressive part is you keep trying, Danielle. For every "I'm recovering" "I'm regrowing" "preserving Fluffnugget" I'd simply pass away if I had to go through that because last time I had splitends jus— _at all times?_ I shaved my head ma'am. Nothing to salvage for me it has since grown back to the length it was [previously] in less than two years(God restores, everyone) and I am so grateful that I can refer people who are scared of chopping to you. You have modeled patience [required for hair but also general body health and wellbeing] through and _through_ ,thank you✨ Edit: typo

nu: Literally just got through crying after seeing my hair thin out to a bald spot, so this is in good timing!

Kuroe-Chan: The struggles are so so real!! Your hair is long hunny! When my hair gets to this point I will be so so excited!! Do be very weary of regaine. I used it in December. It did bring a tiny amount back however I. Turn I lost my middle crown quick, and it changed my entire texture :( it’s constantly dry now and hasn’t bounced back. Don’t think it will. I have external issues that make it impossible to keep head in. Hair :( the natural way your showing us is the best way!!

Tonia Ikade: I’d love to see a part two of another month of the rosemary oil

Ray Lubin: I've just been jumping around binge watching your content for the past 2 hours while doing chores and I gotta say you and fluff nugget always look so beautiful! I'd love more videos going over what specific products and natural ingredients you use regularly

Tiarrea B Just Doing Me: I really enjoyed this Sis. Congratulations on your results. So happy for you. I look forward to a 3 month update. Keep shinning fluff nugget.

Kamariah: been a min since i watched your videos and for that, i apologize?! cuz girl. this one in particular came on time, on time. i had discovered my first alopecia bald spot when i was 19 - 9 years ago. and have intermittently experienced more over time but nothing too crazy. nothing ever really much bigger than a quarter. luckily my hair is thick enough to hide them. i am so thankful about that and pray it never gets worse. but over the last couple months, my alopecia has been flaring up (i now have three "active" spots) and my edges have drastically thinned/broken off due to me not doing anything for my brittley dry hair. i would be lying if i said i wasnt concerned. every time a spot showed up, i'd make an appointment to get some injections asap (they did work, for the most part). but this time around, we are feeling different and doing things different. thank you for the push to take my own stand and being even more patient/accepting. its been a week of me daily moisturizing my twists with simply water and oil and holy shit i think my hair might be deciding to stay afterall. just ordered some rosemary oil. i do hope it helps. im ready to do better.

Lucid Theory: I had a similar issue recently. Surprised the hell out of me because I'm in my 40s and never had an issue. I think it was because I bleached my hair and left it on my scalp too long, inflaming it. The doctor gave me triamcinolone acetonide, a fungal medication which helped a lot. I wanted to keep using but it by prescription only and my doc stopped prescribing it. I don't like oils, I like 'grease' so I'll try rosemary in a thick grease base like shea butter.

Mesmerise5107: Your skin is everything! The glow is phenomenal. Going to have to rewatch the video to hear your commentary

Dazzle Nzekwu: God, I just saw this and got so emotional. I commented on one of your videos how you inspire me to love my hair in spite of my numerous bald spots . I started having alopecia areata as a side effect of sezuire medication.

Marsha Carter: I'm emotional about my hair loss too. I recently lost my edges. I had self diagnosed SD and I got it under control and lost my edges trying to stay flake free where they always seemed to show.

Latriise: After following some of your previous tips, my hair is thicker than it's been in years. So I think I'm going to follow you on this too. Thanks for sharing!

CozySalem: Honestly the itching was probably baby hairs tickling the skin lol when I had my son I lost a lot of hair and it was itchy when it was growing back. You look amazing! Thanks for the hair hack

Claire Francescon: GIRL! I had a similar issue! Please go to your primary care physician get your labs done and see if your B12 is low. This was the issue and we have very similar hair. ALSO my bald spot was in the same spot

OliGirls Tales: The look on your face when you saw there's more hair is everything. You looked so happy ✨

Queen G: Thank you for doing this video. I have 4c hair and began to have a lot of breakag. I'm not completely bald but it's a huge spot that's extremely shorter than the rest of my hair. This is new considering I've been natural for about 10years. I can't wait to try your hair growth routine

Natt Kaoma: You gave me hope about the sparse density with fine strands. Would really love to see how you did that. And yess, I have a bald spot in the middle right now

Midori: Gurl your hair is life! Beautiful and lushThe thing about Rogaine is once you use it and stop, the hair falls back out. You have to use it continuously to maintain the growth in the area applied I’ve made every type if oil concoction and the most I get (especially in the crown is painful pimples) I cannot rub, massage or put any products in the crown section of my head. It becomes itchy, irritated, and painful… so I just leave that mess alone!

Nozipho Hadebe: I would DEFINITELY LOVE to see a video on how you overcame the sparse density of your hair, PLEASE♥️

OutTheBlue: would like a detail time-lapse of how you defeated your sparse density

AVVONDA PARKER: Oh this is good good! I have an appointment next month with a lady that specializes in natural chemical, injection free hair growth services. I think I might jump start by adding this concoction to my routine. I have CCCA so it's progressed into a much larger area of thinning.

becjedi: This is amazing! Can I ask for the exact recipe amounts you use? Been trying to use rosemary oil with jojoba and it’s not working. I’m wondering if I don’t have the right amount of rosemary oil. Thank you!

Alternatively Southern: I have been searching for something NONSTOP. I have traction alopecia on both sides of head (Thanks bantu knots) and I can actually make this at home. Thank you for sharing!!

trhg000: Two months after my doctor prescribed Calcium with Vitamin D3, I noticed hair growth in my minor bald spot area. I was quite surprised.

TweetiBird88: I had some hair thinning issues with my edges a while back and I found aloe vera juice really helped to regrow my hair. I've heard of the benefits of rosemary oil. Going to add it to my hair oil

confusedclarinetgirl: I'm only a 3a/3b but love watching your videos. I suffered a huge hair fall due to stress/redundancy/single parenting. I'm wondering how I could modify this to work with my hair. Fluffnugget is looking amazingly befluffed now. ♥️

Claire Murray-Gellineau: Love this. Thank you. Consistency is the key!

Mimi Lexi: Thanks for your bravery in sharing. I have the same problem. It's important to see a doctor about it to rule out scarring alopecia. I was diagnosed and am now starting treatments that are helping. Medical-grade treatment is essential for best, long-term results. Without it, there is a chance it can get worse. Make sure you see a doctor! :-)

Nicola M: Also recommend seeing a dermatologist just to rule out Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA)

kapparhotau181: Henna, rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil(DHT Blocker), and olive oil might be good. Belle Bar's Henna Gloss is what I use but I had to use for 4 months, only used it once a month as it's a strengthen product. It didn't turn my hair red either (my natural hair is 1B)

Run With English: Love love love your personality!!! So refreshing! DO NOT CHANGE! And thank you for your video! I am literall going thru this same thing and made an oil with rosemary and peppermint. I started to get discouraged even though I thought I saw a little difference - started to think I was fooling myself. You made me believe in what I was seeing. Continuing to use it!!

Jackie Collins: That crown area is STUBBORN especially for 4c hair! I also have to watch the thinning in that spot

maisha price: I’m soo gonna do this. I have the same problem and feel like I tried everything ! Thankyou for this

Tazmanian Diva: Well I used to have a fluff nugget. Now ive lost just about the entire front right quadrant with the execption of some strands trying to hold on. The right rear is thinning also. I heard about rosemary a few days ago and have begun the daily massage routine. Why did I wait so long? I hope to gain the same results as you. Tfs

Dani: Hey Danielle, I’m Danielle, nice to meet you and may our bald spots prevail. I woke up one day after realizing I snagged a patch out from wearing my hair wrap with some hair that was tangled. Happy to find your channel and a support group. Never experienced this before

Britt R. Fillmore: You’ve made me feel so much better about my bald spot that I just discovered today

kevin motley: I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel, your zest, your attitude & your laughter always make my days better !!! Just curious about a couple of things with this. What amounts of the 4 ingredients are you putting in this DIY & if you are putting this in your every day , how often were you washing it out ??? Thanks

LillanaKitten: I'm going through post COVID hair loss I am going to try this ❤️

Dionne Burchenson: I love you fluff nugget. You inspire me to continue with my natural true 4C hair just like yours!!

Bambii_thinks: DANIELLE?!?!?!?!?! girl im so happy for the growth and health of your hair it looks unreallllll P.S my good sis we need a vid of how u currently stretch ur hair without heat damaging it cause i too want a similar lewkkk.

Toya: Please keep us posted on your progress

TG TF: I had the same thing happen to me except it usually happens when my hair is just really dry and I grew mine back by using Nugro grease and I mixed Jokoba oil and vitamin E oil together and it honestly works wonders you’ll for sure see more growth if you use grease and oils

Lilac Moonbeam: Dermarolling has also been proven to increase hair growth so if you combine the 2 (don't use oil on dermarolling days) you may see even better results. People usually combine dermarolling with Rogaine but the rosemary oil worked out so well for you I would keep with what works.

missamericanpie1: My God. You are exquisite! Edit: I've used "Lady" Rogaine before. It's basically alcohol with an active ingredient. So... yea. And I KEEP a supply of rosemary and peppermint oil. They are great for the scalp and my humidifier. Have my bedroom smelling like a yoga spa retreat. Yassss!

Apara: I feel not alone now. The struggle with hair loss in the crown area is REAL for most of us naturals. I wonder why???? The reason I believe for me is the crown is different texture more kinky (but surprisingly same curl pattern ‍♀️). So it tangles A LOT faster than the other parts of my hair (where I heard get any tangles). I find sectioning off the middle made a huge difference, but the hair is still no where as thick in that area as the rest of my head. Maybe I shouldn't use a comb in that area, just finger detangle. <>...the STRUGGLES

BAW94001: Hello Danielle, I’m happy you have great results. Please consider seeing a Dermatologist preferably one that understands about our hair for an assessment.

Asia Rogers: Thanks for sharing this! The Decatur Butter & Cream has a really good rosemary shortbread cookie, but you can only purchase them individually. They're also not in stock consistently. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Danielle: love this! i've been using rogain since i have hair loss caused by hormones. personally i was hesitant to use it as well but maybe i'll switch or add in rosemary too

shamelesslykristen: I’d love to see your video on what you’ve tried! Balding in women is never talked about and it can be such a self-esteem killer.

cjmils89: I am so freaking proud of you and FluffNugget... LOOK at what you did!!! Phenomenal job my friend!!

Denilson Gaoaseb: It truly is refreshing to watch you do your thing. Entertaining and informative.

AndreaLovely: Your hair is gorgeous and healthy! ❤️

Nkechi Douglas: Way to go Danielle you're a honest to goodness delight as always! You've given me a marvellous idea that I'm going to try out! Bless you! Fluff Nugget is a gargantuan inspiration! I love her! I loved her when she was thin, and I love her now that she's a Thick Madam!
