People sometimes attribute restricted blood flow to the scalp as a reason for hair loss at the crown. So, in addition to wearing hats and tight buns/ponytails less frequently, daily scalp massages or treatments like microneedling may improve blood circulation.

Insufficient Moisture and/ or Protein More often than not weak, brittle natural hair is due to lack of moisture or protein. It may also be a combination of both. You may need to increase how often you deep condition, use protein treatments, and/or remoisturize your hair.
