Amazing hair serum. I have been using littleexta reaactivate hair growth serum for about a month now for my severe hair fall issue. It is very effective for me. Furthermore, new hairs are appearing now. This is my second bottle. Hair fall decreased right away and new hair growth also started now. Absolutely loving THE SERUM!
Previously, I was using a different serum and then started using the reactiivate growth serum. The Reactivate worked, and I m actually seeing new baby hairs following 3.5 months of application.
My dermatologist suggested I forget all the potions that may or may not work and just use minoxidil and red-light. Best decision I ever made and it's only $26 for a 6-month supply. Used the minoxidil for a year and the results were phenomenal. Added red-light and got even more. It's changed my life.
@@Alex-bc3bz My derm suggested the Kirkland brand from Costco. You don't have to be a Costco member or have a card. It's in liquid form (dropper style) at 5% strength. They don't sell the liquid version in stores (only the foam) and I use it once a day every night. It's $17.99 for 6 bottles 👍I began seeing baby hairs after about 3 months. I'm 56 and knew I'd lose my hair one day since my dad lost his in his 20's and my mother lost most of hers after menopause. If you stop using it permanently then your hair will go back to where it would've been had you never used it. I do occasionally skip a day here and there with no problem. But I see it as an extention of my skincare which I do every night, too. Best decision I ever made and I don't care if I have to use it forever to keep these results. 🤷🏻♀️ WORTH IT!
That’s great to hear! My hair Derm told me the exact same thing. Forget the serums and stuff and use %5 minoxidil. I just upgraded my irestore to the professional one that’s in the video. Excited to see how the irestore and minoxidil work together
This is my first time growing my hair, and your videos have been really helpful on this journey. I apply an egg mask to my hair once a week and massage my scalp thrice weekly with liittleextra coocoonion oil. Then, I rinse with cocoonion shampoo, and I stick to this routine consistently. I'm happy to say that my hair fall is gone now.
This liitlleextra cooconiion oil is infused with rosemary, coconut, onion, hibiscus, which are superfoods for hair growth. Loved its texture. The smell is subtle and not overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great product and it helped me reduce hair fall by over 85%.
I experienced massive hair loss during menopause. I use Pacifica's Rosemary Purify line along with essential oil of peppermint and rosemary applied at night prior to a hair wash day. I typically wash my hair 3x's per week. I added a deep conditioning mask 1x per week to strengthen my mids and ends. My hair has improved and I have experienced re-growth.
Thank you for taking the time to create and share this informative content. My good friend used Norlest's natural hair recipes, and his hair started growing back normally without falling out. I was shocked.
My hair growth success story regime below: 1. Scalp Massage Daily for 20 Minutes Everyday 2. Taoist Soap for Hair Growth 2x a week on scalp (Can find online or UK Pharmacies) 3. Nettle Leaf Tea 2x a day to clean out hormone residue in the liver which causes hormone imbalances 4. Collagen Supplement daily, 2x a day in powder form (nothing fancy, just buy from online or pharmacy) I did these and my hair is much thicker, and grows superfast, now i don't have to do this as consistently like I did before, but at the start you need to be consistent.
Just as a heads up, there are a lot of things that affect iron absorption! Including tea. As long as there’s a 2 hour window between consumption of your coffee and iron supplement/iron rich foods, it won’t interfere with absorption. Hoping this will help because I also love my coffee (and am prone to having low iron levels)
Gluten interfered with mine. That’s how I found out I couldn’t tolerate gluten anymore at 50yo. I was sooo deficient in iron and Zinc they thought I had Arsenic poisoning ( because of my job at the wastewater treatment plant). Gluten inflamed by body so much that I wasn’t absorbing anything. My hair was falling out in clumps. So food allergies will try to kill you. I also passed out behind the wheel and an caused accident. Thank god alls well that ends well. Check for allergies is the summery.
Also if u guys take heme iron pills, it's not affected by coffee at all, so u can really take them together. I switched to heme cause I'm also a coffee drinker lol, and best decision of my life. Only thing that affects it is calcium greater than 300mg:)
Peppermint oil absolutely works with a few caveats…. 1) make sure it’s a 3% dilution I like to use grapeseed oil or jojoba 2) It should stay on your head for approximately 8 to 12 hours so put it in the morning wear your hair up or in a bun and wash that night or sleep overnight with a scarf in your head 3) Massage the scalp preferably with that silicon scalp massager before and after application I have more growth around my hair line and less breakage. The only other thing that has really thickened my hair and shown a big difference is Nioxin Density Rescue. My hair looks like a wig it’s so thick!
I'm so happy for you Cassandra. My mom is experiencing hair loss in her 70's. It's hard to see her struggling with hair loss. She doesn't try alot of crazy treatments, she isn't interested. I believe black women experience hair loss from doing crazy stuff to their hair. We do alot. I hear heat destroys your hair, but that's for another conversation.
Wrong! Hair and hair follicles are two different things!!!!! You can bleach and damaged your hair all your life, and it won't affect your hair follicle! Hair follicle is only impacted by internal stuff like hormones, stress etc!
@@leanture3685 ummm... rude. FYI, pulling the hair into tight hair styles like buns and braids does, in fact, damage the hair and hair follicles, making hair fall out and growth slow down and stop all together over time.
So true! My daughter wanted extensions when she was a teen. They pulled her hair so tight, the skin at her nape was being pulled up. Awful. It did help convince her to go for sisterlocks, like I kept suggesting. She's going on 40 now and has long, gorgeous, natural locks. Eff the white media for telling black women they can't go natural and be beautiful.
I don't believe blow drying your hair is bad. When I went "natural" my hair at first it was amazing my curls where healthy beautiful...then my hair started looking dry it would frizz then the shedding started and now I've lost my curl pattern 😢. I'm going to go back to just straightening my hair.
Kudos to you for creating such an informative and engaging video. There are completely natural recipes for preventing hair loss that anyone can make at home, and they are very effective. What's best about them is that after you stop using them, your hair remains the same, it doesn't start falling out again. I believe Norlest has all these recipes and products. Check it out.
Things that I've done that have helped... Using Fermented rice water Using green tea rinse; it helps block the dht Rosemary oil and/or rosemary water Codeage Hair Vitamins; I have noticed so much new growth taking these. Scalp Acupuncture
Hi Cassandra. I believe Biotin works in growing existing hair only. Whenever I stop using Biotin, I notice that my nails and hair don't grow as quickly. But when I resume using Biotin, my hair and nails grow superfast. They grow so fast that I need to have my hair trimmed more often and need to file my nails back every other day rather than just once a week. But I never see new growth of hair that I didn't already have.
Taking Saw Palmetto has helped my hair loss, it blocks the dht and also stops unwanted facial hair. Stress causes imbalances in hormones, cut out the toxic people in your lives btw
I will try saw palmetto, thanks! I agree, I can see new growth after getting rid of a toxic person in my life, it was the same 6 years ago. No coincidence. I’m an empath, so attract them. Lesson learnt. I have met so many other females in narcissistic victim support groups who had also experienced hair loss.
I've been suffering hair fall due to hiv (either the medicines, the disease itself or the stress it gave me) and Ill definitely consider these options ❤
Try Rosemary oil or Rosemary water. It works wonders and gives fast results. I'm on cancer medication that was thinning my hair. No more thinning🙌 I saw results in the first week!
I find that The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum worked well for me. My hair line definitely looks fuller. It takes time and consistency, but I think it is effective. I do agree that it can make your hair oily, so I use it the night before I wash my hair.
Same, exactly! I don’t use it before being seen by the public because it does make you look kinda greasy, but using it a few times a week has dramatically reversed my hair loss (and my mom’s, and a few friends’ too). I’d still suggest people try it out given how reasonably priced it is and how effective it has been for many.
It works for me too. It's not a miracle, but with consistent use it significantly lessens my hair fall. I use it on my scalp, eyebrows and (carefully with a q-tip) on my lashes as well. I think it can be difficult to realize it's working because the results take time, but if you stop using it.... you'll realize it was definitely working! I did also try the lash and brow serum from The Ordinary, but after about 3 months I realized that most of my new brow and lash growth had fallen out, so I went back to the regular hair growth serum, and they grew back again.
It's actually INSANE how much taking care of my scalp over the last year and half has changed my hair. I oiled and massaged my scalp pre-wash, used scalp exfoliant for a few months, and then simplified my whole hair routine a la Blowout Professor I switched to Redken acidic bond series, the TINY BOTTLES lasted me 6 months and I wash 2* every 4 days. My hair is long, healthy and I got a ton of new growth- my hairline filled in after years of mild balding Lowering stress levels also makes a huge difference, and takes like 3+ months to see effects.
Blow out professor doesn't rate the shampoo and conditioner though only the treatment. He likes the Redken volume but so many people say Redken is drying and highly scented. Good it worked for you. I don't know where to start. Do you use the pureology as well cos I found that stuff awful and drying.
@@natmya243 I remember him saying that once you switch to a professional shampoo, after about 3-4 washes the build up on your hair and scalp has been effectively cleaned and that's when a lot of people experience dryness. He then stresses the importance of using a hair mask and leave in conditioner to add moisture, and oil to ends of hair to help keep moisture in.
As someone who’s losing their hair, I’m really thankful for these updates. But I think it would be more useful if you mentioned the cause of your Hairloss as different methods work for particular Hairloss.
Totally agree with you, not enough talk on cause. From my experience, the cause for hair thinning is inflammation, even if the greater cause is hormones, DHT, vitamin lacking or others. So to reduce inflammation on the scalp, I personally do the following: Scalp massage (or anything that will increase circulation in the scalp) for at least 10 minutes to 30 minutes everyday, then to cover localized inflammation I use the Taoist Soap for Hair, It's designed to stop inflammation whatever it touches (don't have to use it everyday tho), and then to cover amino acid requirement I take collagen 2 times a day, 2 tablespoons. I already commented about this above on the main comment section, but thought id repeat it as may help you. Its alwasy the combination this regime that has helped me and my family most in helping keep hair thicker, and recover lost hair (for me). Women in the family get results with this faster weirdly.
After chemo treatment for 6 months, my hair grew back but my hairline had receded on both sides of my temple. My hairdresser told me about this amazing product which I have been using for about 3 weeks and already my hair is growing back really well. The shampoo and conditioner definitely has peppermint in it (tingles a bit), and after rinsing out, I used the serum which s is a “stay in” serum. My hair started growing back after 1 week of using it. I only washed my hair twice a week and had used the serum every day on dry hairline for the first week. I’m so happy with it. Also I checked with my oncologist before using it and she told me it won’t affect my tablets I’m on for my after chemo treatment pills 😀
I do not recommend silicone scalp massagers if you have a compromised scalp! Particularly in the shower. I was diagnosed with seb derm 2 years ago and thought the scrubber would help me get a better clean in the shower, but I'm sure now that it was contributing to shedding when washing. Just my experience!
For anyone that purchases the Irestore helmet, please be aware that the 12 month money back guarantee has some pretty specific rules to it, and there is a restocking fee so you do not get all your money back if the product does not work for you
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I just went to purchase & saw they made changes (or I missed the specific conditions before) so I’ve opted not to shell out $2100 plus tax for something that will keep 18% fee PLUS SALES TAX (how is that even legal?) and charge me for return shipping. The only reason I was willing to try such an expensive device was because they had such a liberal trial policy, which made it worth the risk. It’s never a good sign when the policy changes. It makes me wonder if enough people didn’t see results and returned it; that’s usually when return policies get changed. I can’t imagine people abusing the return policy because if they did see results, why would they return it given it only works if you continue using it? sadly, my last hope is now off the table. Ironically, they do refund for empty bottles of shampoo. Go figure on that “logic”…,
One thing that I've noticed that makes the biggest difference is on wash days I was my hair upside down, I've been doing it for years and I never noticed how well it worked with hair growth until recently. Back in June 2022, I cut my hair a good inch or so above my shoulders and as of today my hair is about 4 inches below my shoulders!! I take a good 3/5 minutes and just gently massage my head while washing, and then I gently rise both shampoo and my conditioner upside down too!! It's made the biggest difference for growth and I never really noticed until today
Cassandra I love your fun, sweet, caring personality! You made me smile and I needed to hear positive things today as I experience my aging hair and skin problems. Thank you for sharing your hair journey 💕
Wait just a second! The Nuderma high-frequency wand with neon REALLY helped me with my hair loss! I used it with a biotin caffeine peppermint rosemary oil and let me tell you! I lost honestly 3 hair when I washed my hair as compared to the huge gobs I was losing without it. I believe it has to do with the blood circulation in your scalp and follicles holding on to those hairs and not letting go when I would wash my hair. I did this right before jumping into the shower and the hair loss amount was astounding!! I use it every time I wash my hair. When I use it, I only use it on my scalp, not the lengths and I am about to go wash, so it doesn't matter if it gets frizzy! I won't be without it!
@Holly G Hey! Cool! And you are a curly too! I am watching your saved video about broccoli sprouts. I follow Dr. BERG on RUclips, I take a few of his supplements and I drink his WHEATGRASS SUPERFOOD daily, and let me tell you, I see a difference in myself! I have several health issues, including RA, Lupus, and severe bone loss. Check him out, you won't be sorry. Take care! 💜
Rosemary oil is also nice for hair growth! Mielle has a Rosemary peppermint hair oil that’s already pre-diluted with carrier oils. And it’s fairly affordable 😊
I’m seeing great results with rosemary oil, I have a lot of new baby hairs. My natural hair is very thin and brown and these new guys are black and thick.
Please be cautious if you have pets, Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats! To the point to which a drop on their skin or repeated exposure to a pillowcase can kill them 😢
I am another curly haired girl. My hair started thining when I was around 40. I tried all sorts of serums (including The Ordinary and Watermans), I started using Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner with Lavender around a year ago (when I turned 50) and my hair is thicker, not extreme effects, but definetly thicker. Don't know if this product is the cause, but it is better. Having thin and/or fine curly hair is really difficult to cope with, but there are things that can help.
As someone who had hormonal hair loss from a low estrogen birth control it can be so overwhelming to see it disappear 😓😓. I got the birth control out (took over a year to get insurances okay) and started several supplements (encouraged by doctor) For me it was collagen (6000mg), biotin (10,000mg), black sesame seed (500mg). Definitely look into to the sesame I saw the most difference after adding it!!
Putting rosemary essential oil straight to my scalp actually worked for my hair growth. The way I did it though, is I would put it straight to the scalp, massage it well, after a couple of hours I would then rinse it off with shampoo and water. Did this for about four months every other night or so. I had no scalp irritation whatsoever.
I tried but u made the mistake of putting it directly on my head .. it’s very strong and needs to be diluted. I think it caused hair to fall from the root, very scary 😱 but I know it will co m r back! ❤
There's an Indian brand called Plum. Their scalp treatment serum and the olive macadamia hair mask is sooooo good. Especially if you put heat on your hair on a regular basis, the hair mask is just what your hair needs and the best part is they're vegan and alcohol-free.
Rice shampoo for growth and rosemary oil is amazing my hair always feels smooth and glossy and it grows like crazy - onion juice works amazing too, or the water from soaking rice for 2 hours and leaving it in! These are cheaper easier ways to do this! Save money! Peppermint oil and rosemary oil Togo’s great all those tingly ones tea tree oil are all stimulants! And also putting your head upside down while massaging these products into your hair helps the blood flow to the top of your head! These work just can’t be lazy and must try ut
Same same. I am using my 4th bottle. I apply the serum to my scalp after hair wash. I don’t find it greasy at all. I wash my hair every 4-5 days and have been happy with the results.
omg same! i love the ordinary peptide serum! im on my 2nd bottle, and once i started using it I noticed significantly less hair shedding when I wash and detangle my hair. In between bottles I actually stopped for 2 weeks till I got a chance to buy another bottle, and noticed increased hair shedding during those wash days that I didn't use it! it definitely works for decreasing shedding!
@@luckshmee I imagine it would. The mechanisms that cause loss of pigment in the hair growth cycle are the same as those that (eventually) cause the hair to fall out. I hear copper is also important in creating the natural pigment that forms hair color, so I am thinking their Buffet + Copper peptites formulation might also help with this, as well as increasing copper in the diet. Some copper rich foods are sweet potato, shellfish (like shrimp and clams) and dark chocolate.
I’m 49 years old. When my body experiences any kind of stress physically or emotionally. My hair falls out. It’s been happening for about 5 years now. I too have the red light helmet. It’s always a big laugh in my house . My two boys call me red leader from Star Wars haha. I am about 2 months into the hair md program so a little early to tell. But no irritation, so that’s good. I will be ordering the cat massager . If I could pay someone to massage my shoulders, neck face and scalp. That would be a dream.!! Looking for someone in my area to do that. I also take Cod liver oil Sea moss Seaweed Along with every other supplement available to mankind. 🤦🏼♀️ I do have lots of baby hairs . Thank you for your fun informative videos !!
For me I have used the scalp messager for 3ish years now and have noticed how clean my scalp gets which always helps with hair growth! I have also always used my Haitian black castor oil in my hair masks and it was amazing for my hair! Overall I think always having a healthy and clean scalp makes ALL the difference:)
I had this after following a vegan diet for 15 years...my hair loss was terrible and my bones were like a 70 year olds and I was in my late twenties. Ended up reintroducing animal products and they fixed everything, the supplements weren't doing anything. I just try as hard as I can to make sure they're high welfare, free range and organic and only eat meat a couple of times a week. Sad, but I was making myself sick from a vegan diet. My doctor told me its actually quite common which is scary!
@@imogen9964 thanks for letting us know, me myself I eat alot of meat because I love it but hopefully someone who doesn't will read your comment and rethink what they are eating or... not eating and should be.. :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was vegan (100% raw organic foods with green smoothies every day) for about 5 years and, despite taking all of the highest quality vital supplements, the vegan diet destroyed my health. It nearly killed me. Like you, I only eat high welfare, free range, organic, local meat. In my experience, the paleo diet is by far the healthiest. All best wishes :)
Nutritional deficiencies are definitely causative in hairloss, male and female. They almost always suppress thyroid function which regulates the metabolism. Hairloss is common among hypothyroid patients (ie, people with suppressed metabolism). When energy metabolism is dysfunctional the body restricts resources for non essential functions (eg hair and nail growth). You may also experience cold hands and feet. While external causes will vary, hairloss can only occur via these particular pathways. It is an end result of underlying metabolic stress. Everything is connected.
Same here. Could not even conceive for years with medication. reintroduced fish, eggs,cheese ,meat and boom got pregnant in a months. Oh and plus messed up my thyroid and now on medication till the day I die
So glad to hear your hair is returning! I was just doing some reading about alternative pain relief, specifically Succinic acid. I got off topic a bit when they started discussing benefits for acne treatment and hair regrowth and thickness. This statement "Succinic acid has antioxidant and regenerating properties, thickens the hair shaft from the inside, improving its appearance. It activates hair growth, has a beneficial effect on the scalp, improving metabolic processes in cells." had me remembering your video that I viewed a few hours ago. There were also comments that it has long been used in facial products because it is gentle on the skin, more so than salicylic acid and can help balance oil production. I have seen your videos about your journey with both hair and skin issues and wondered what you think of this? I did see that the Inkey list had acne products labeled as Succinic acid. What do you think of this acid for hair and/or skin? Have you already tried it in one or more of your red zone products? Have you decided not to try it for reasons I might not be aware of? Thanks for the videos! Good luck with your product trials!
I was so excited to see this update. I have been struggling with Androgenetic Alopecia for years, but it really peaked last June. I had the blood tests run, but I didn’t do any more, and now it has a good head start on me. I began Minoxidil in November, and added Spironalactone this month. I also use Viviscal Pro, all the hair supplements, and I’ve ordered the iRestore (Dr. Dray’s code) which should be delivered by the first of the year. You add things one at a time to isolate your variables, but I work in reverse. I jump in with both feet, and if/when I see results, I fade out interventions until I reach the minimum effective program. Please keep us informed on how you are doing.
Minoxidil and spironolactone are the real MVPs here. I'm super disappointed she didn't even mention them. Minoxidil is literally THE gold standard in treating hair loss. 🙄 all this other crap is straight up snake oil. It really makes me question Cassandra. She's a trained esthetician with access to field professionals. There's no way that at the very least minoxidil (and spiro) weren't mentioned to her yet she's wasting time, money and follicles on all these crap money grabs and promoting people and products to her fans. Especially the irestore. I've done a ton of research on it. The reviews speak for themselves. Most derms don't actually recommend any at home LED/laser devices. Idk man. It really makes me raise an eyebrow here.
@@noddygirl hello what brand of minoxidil do you recommend? i am trying to grow my hair long and thick. i’ve bleached it for years but recently did a root melt to blend my natural regrowth in with the bleach blonde so i don’t have to dye it anymore and can finally let it be natural ❤ i don’t have much hair loss but i have noticed around my face the hairline is getting a little bit thinned out. i think it may be from the bleaching though. and when i sleep my hair will get matted if i don’t wear my silk head scar sometimes. TIA🫶🏼 also how do i get prescribed spironolactone?
@@noddygirl I can’t speak for Cassandra, but I know she feels very strongly about cruelty free products. I would think, as the FDA almost always tests on animals prior to human trials, that medications would be her last choice of treatment.
@@_sunchildd I second Kirkland. But be aware apparently there's fakes out there. Weird that people would rip off such a cheap medication but I guess they do.
Low dose oral monoxidil along with a good saw palmetto extract has helped my adrenergic alopecia TREMENDOUSLY!! The growth, density, and new lowered hairline has been incredible
I'm glad to hear that. I didn't pick up my low dose minoxidil med from the pharmacy scared of any side effects. I might get it and start using it today
Studies show a 3x Hair Growth improvement if microneedling (weekly with a 1.5 needle, I now prefer the stamp vs the roller) & 2x day with 5% Minoxidil except on the day of microneedling. Hair loss benefits, I believe, from a multi-modality approach. I also have used a I-restore essential helmet using red light therapy every other day (14 months) and I also use a high frequency wand comb too, less consistently. Others to consider are pumpkin skin seed capsule taken orally and saw palmetto capsules and the same oils applied topically. That said, I've noticed the biggest improvement with daily scalp massage; the motorized one is easy to use daily.
I've been spraying a clove/rosemary water blend after shampooing, before drying, a jamaiican black seed castor oil shampoo (which strengthens hair/less hair fall), microneedling my scalp every other week, and washing my hair in cool/lukewarm water for 6 months. I also use a blowout hair tool instead of a traditional hairdryer now. Doing all of these things has made a huge difference in hair fall, and my hair is growing back where it was thinning so badly before. Such a difference already! It is still a process but I cannot wait to see what my hair looks like at the one yr mark. I also take a supplement called hair hero but that alone didn't seem to be enough for me to see a difference, although it is the number two recommended supplement after Nutrafol. I want to do it naturally and without chemicals.
@@marionym5969 in the year since I started these things my hair has grown back in A LOT but it still has a way to go to be as thick as it was before significant hair loss. It had gotten so thin on top my scalp was showing. I've noticed in the last month or so since I changed up my vit D pill to include K2 my hair seems to be growing in faster than before. K2 is supposed to help the body absorb vit D better and vit D helps hair growth. The Jamaiican Black Seed Castor Oil shampoo has DEFINITELY made my hair root stronger and my hair loss is minimal now. I also don't shampoo as often and went with an all natural shampoo to use with the castor oil shampoo. One to cleanse, one to strengthen. I believe the spray and dermaroller are still making a difference too. I'm very happy with the progress.
I also use Blood Builder! It's the only iron supplement that doesn't cause me to get severely constipated. I get super anemic thanks to my super heavy periods.
I have been microneedling my hairline including the lower areas at the back as I have patches when I tie my hair up too. It has made a difference. I use my LED panel front, sides and back of head. I take hydrolysed collagen. In all I have seen results in the last 8 - 12 months doing all of this ❤
I used to experience severe hair loss, pulling gobs of hair out of my comb and brush. I started taking DHT blocker supplements and now I hardly have any hair in my comb after a shower. I also treat my scalp with 5% minoxidil (the one for men because it’s cheaper) and use it only once a day at night. That is the only product that makes new little hairs start to grow. But I have to stay consistent. I went on a 3 week trip and didn’t take it with me. 6 weeks later all my new growth fell out. Actually came out. So now I am back on both products and will continue them for the rest of my life.
The ordinary peptide hair serum is what worked for me big time .. I was already taking lots of supplements & collagen but when I added the ordinary hair serum there was significant growth after 3 months
I just bought the COMFIER Cordless Electric Hair Scalp massager! I luv it! We’ll see if it helps with my thinning hair. But I love it too. Anyway, it makes my scalp and head feel fantastic. I asked several hairdressers about my hair thinning they said you need to massage your scalp. It’s so hard to do until now! I love this thing. Thank you for introducing it to us.
The three things that worked for me were 1. Drinking collagen powder in my tea every morning. 2. Investing in a really good shower filter to soften and remove all the calcium and other contaminants from my hard water and 3. Investing in the SRI DryQ hairdryer. It has infrared light which is really good for my scalp. I went from a thin bob to thicker hair below my shoulders. My hair also has more body. You guys may want to check the quality of your water.
Hard water has destroyed my hair. Even filtering it on shower head every 2-3 months changing out the filters. Worst water ever is in the south cuz if lime & calcium. I’ve lost 1/2 my hair in just 2 yrs since I moved here from northeast.😔😔😔😔😔
A few things! 1) what hairbrush did you start using? I may be blind and have missed it in the description. 2) I struggled with hair loss this last year, I think triggered by stress from a personal tragedy. One thing my dermatologist recommended was Nutrofol. Just to add to the list of things to look into that might help someone :) I didn't track results enough to know how effective or not it was for me. I'm fortunate and in the last few months, it seems the loss has finally stopped and growth is coming in again.
Hi Cassandra, I was watching your video yesterday and I notice how good your hair looked! I was hoping for an update on your hair. I never Clicked so fast! Thank you for your honesty and explaining the science behind it. I just recently bought the irestore this past Black Friday and I’ve been using it every other day. Dr. Dray sold me on that too. I’ve been experiencing hair loss/thinning but recent notice in October of this yr it was more than usual. Did some research tried vegamour (that didn’t work for me it irritated my scalp). Made an appointment with my dermatologist but had to wait a month for an appointment. I became depressed because my hair is like my identity. I made an appointment to see my physician because I was just so upset about my hair and other medical issues that I wanted to go on depression medication and get lab work done. The day before my appointment with my physician I came across Covid hair loss. I have heard that people had that but didn’t pay it much attention. But the day before my appointment I looked into. And basically everything I was experiencing was identical to the hair loss from Covid AKA telogen effluvium. I felt so relieved that I had figured out what was going on. That my hair would comeback and that it wasn’t hair loss it was just my hair shedding. I went into that appointment in hopes she would send me for blood work to make sure my labs were good. I explained to her about the Covid hair loss she instantly shut me down and said that “we don’t have enough information” she didn’t hear me out at all. It was extremely disappointing. I asked for blood work to check my iron and vitamin D… she told me vitamin D has nothing to do with hair loss. I went for blood work and she didn’t even check my iron or vitamin D like I asked. She checked testosterone, WBC, RBC… I am currently looking for a new physician. She rushed me out of the office. I went to the dermatologist and she herself was experiencing TE from Covid. She understood. She checked my iron and vitamin D. My iron was low and my vitamin was extremely low. I’ve learned to advocate for myself and speak up. I am not sure if irestore will help me with TE but I do have new hair growing. Dr. Dray doesn’t have hair loss but she does say that it makes her ponytail thicker. I figured it will strengthen my hair and won’t hurt it. I’m also taking supplements for iron and Vitamin D.
Vitamin D supplements helped my nails grow longer than ever before and I suspect we’re helping my hair as well…I haven’t been taking them lately maybe that’s why I’m losing my hair again…
@Ang heyyyy, definitely would get a second opinion. Update: I’ve been using irestore consistently every other day since Dec 2022. In addition, I’ve been consistently taking vitamin D and Iron. My hair is growing back very quickly. So much so my dermatologist is very impressed and was asking me about the irestore (not sure if she will get one for herself or recommend for future pts.) she said my hair is way ahead of where most people who experienced TE. Which was so relieving to hear. Definitely, advocate for yourself. This is your health. You know your body. Good luck with your hair journey.
i have social axienty and have alot of stress sometimes and half of ny hair has fallen out in 2 years i used too have long thick hair and now i keep it short and thin but i hope this recommendations and tips can help me💕
One of the best treatments for hair loss for both male and female is Saw Palmento 160mg twice a day. Make sure it’s a good standardized product. It has many amazing effects on the body. Your hair will grow back thick and luxurious.
You are a very funny and bubbly girl. You are right there is a difference. Your hair is growing back, so just keep doing what your doing. Thanks for sharing.👍
That's so unfortunate about The Ordinary products! They single handedly stopped a lot of hair shed for me and regrew a bunch of hairs over my hairline and scalp. So I guess it might be better for certain types of hair loss than others.
I used The Ordinary hair density products with no problems for more than two years, then suddenly started experiencing itchiness and flakes where I was applying it. Stopped using for a few months, tried it again, same problem. No more The Ordinary hair density product for me. Sigh.
I use The Ordinary salisylic acid treatment since I am prone to eczema outbreaks and dry scalp. It also helps with oily scalp! I also use a shampoo brush in the shower but I also use a shower comb to detangle my hair while the conditioner is still on before I rinse it out. This keeps me from pulling at my hair with a brush when I get out of the shower, preventing hair from coming out. I was using Inkey List serum you showed and I feel like it got the process going but it was making my highlights very brassy and drying me hair out. But now with my current routine my hair is growing back so successfully! I was vegan for three years and had a ton of hair loss from it so I’m happy it’s finally coming back.
Girl can't catch a break but glad your trying something that seems to be working. Definitely give them feed back of extending the product further back to reach the back of the scalp.
to regrow my hair (postpartum hair loss) i used the Mielle Rosemary and Mint Scalp and Hair Treatment, Doo Grow Mega Hair Thick Oil, Inkey List Caffeine Scalp Treatment, i will make a rosemary and mint “tea” and put it in my scalp 2x a day, rosemary essential oil diluted in a carrier oil like jojoba or argon, and finally scalp massage 💆♀️ at least 5 minutes a day.
The thing about postpartum hair loss is that it usually regrows on its own within a year or so. It's therefore difficult to know whether a treatment made the hair regrow, or whether it was going to regrow anyway. Women lose a lot of hair after giving birth because during pregnancy our bodies have very high levels of progesterone and estrogen, which disrupts the normal hair cycle and elongates the time hair stays in the growing phase. When these hormone levels drop after giving birth, that extra hair falls out all at once, which makes our hair look thinner than usual. As our hormones balance out the hair goes back to a normal cycle.
The biotin shampoo from Tree to Tub helped me with hair regrowth after having covid. I also had those baby hairs but mine is longer now. Also, that scalp massager looks so relaxing I'm off to find one for myself, thanks 🤗
Yeah, I have a red-light mask which really helps my acne, and I'm happy to hear it might be helping my hair grow because I lost some hair during my last pregnacy :(
I lost a great deal of hair after getting Covid 2 years ago. The IRestore has been my saving grace. I came up with a solution for the hair underneath in the very back. Bend down, Flip your hair over and place TBE I restore on the back of your head. 2 sessions, one on the top and one on the back. Works like a charm.
I have a thinning hairline at my bangs and a widow's peak area. I always had very thick hair as a younger person. I'm self-conscious of the thinning bangs. I saw good reviews on amygrow herbal hair oil and decide to try it. I've only been using it for just close to a month so I haven’t seen the result I'm hoping for, but in this short time, I'm beginning to see a little more growth in my bangs. I have high hopes for this hair oil and plan to purchase more to continue use. Since I only use it in the bangs, the product is lasting a good while. I use one squirt of the distributed pump amount and massage it in the edge of my bangs and widow peak. It does not make my hair feel greasy. I apply at night before going to bed. I only wash my hair once a week. There is no routine.
I have a similar hair loss experience - also losing hair randomly in the back- I got blood work done and fixed my iron and vitamin D levels my hair has now grown back
One thing will never solve hairloss. You have to use a combination of things. It starts with nutrition, making sure you are balanced because your diet can contribute to your hormones going whack, keep scalp clean as well. Rosemary essential oil helps as well. It's quite tiring and frustrating having to do different things but consistency with topical treatments and hair oils does help.
@Dr. Christopher Johnson - why would a complete stranger try to befriend someone on this forum - unless you have other motives. I doubt that you are a doctor.
I have thin strands of straight hair and I feel that not brushing/combing my hair when it’s wet has helped. I brush my hair before I wash it and after it air dries and it seems to have helped a lot. I must note that I shower at night and just let my hair air dry. I realize that a lot of people shower in the morning and style their hair so that probably makes a difference
My dermatologist recommended that I get the moisture out of my hair before I go to sleep. A wet scalp is prone to fungal growth and breakdown of the skin. And a wet pillow only prolongs the drying. See if that helps things. I do notice that it helped me
Very surprised you didn't use any rosemary oil on your scalp for hair loss and for scalp problems like dandruff. Rosemary oil has been tested and compared to lower percentage minoxidil.
I have really suffered with hair loss over the years and have been taking a one a day supplement called Nutrihair and it is so so good. I've been taking it tor about 9 months consistently but started noticing significant changes to the thickness of my hair by the 3 month mark. I have tried so many treatments, supplements but this is like no other.
Hi Cassandra. I suffered hair loss through menopause. I saw a lady on RUclips a couple of years ago recommend 50% castor oil and 50% organic black seed oil. Place in a dark glass bottle with dropper. Only leave on for 10 mins but I would massage it into my scalp in the evening twice a week before washing my hair in the morning. So I’d have it on all night. It worked well
I'm so surprised the ordinary hair peptides didn't work for you! I've seen so much evident growth in my baby hairs from that one. I'm glad you found other stuff that works though!
I have been dealing with hair loss a while. It’s been super difficult but I pulled the trigger on the irestore helmet almost 3 months ago and am so happy to hear it worked for you! I am still too early to tell, and have actually noticed more shedding (apparently normal with the helmet) so I’m trying to stay positive for that 6month mark!!
@@Syrup1994 i am 8 months in to using the helmet and I’ve recently started noticing a huge difference. Because it’s a long process and progress is slow I hadn’t noticed much change but I compared progress photos side by side and wow my hair is much thicker and healthier! Also noticing really fast hair growth and thicker strands so overall really happy with my progress! I’ve also been using topical serums and some supplements. But I really do believe the helmet has made the most impact.
Rosemary oil has been shown to work as well as minoxidil. Minoxidil, like many other ingredients, is absorbed systemically and isn't great for your health if you are a sensitive or unhealthy person. This is why it can give heart palpitations.
Great review, it's important to try different things and be patient. As an owner of long hair, who experienced great volume and periods of hair loss, and again regrowth...I have to say the approach has to be holistic, starting from mentioned blood tests, with big attention to diet, washing routine, and general habits. For me, discovering matcha (powder green tea) and drinking it every day did wonders for my gut, skin, and hair because of the constant delivery of antioxidants. I'm sure there are other drinks or supplements that could work this way, matcha worked for me because I loved the taste and I needed a coffee replacement, you have to find something that you will enjoy. A lot of times changing one's diet is more about quitting stuff that weakens the progress like cutting out alco, tobacco, processed food, and processed sugar, limiting some, and replacing others with healthier alternatives (xylitol and stevia instead of sugar, dates instead of candies, magic wand instead of alco:). Changing the washing routine also gives immediate effects, like swapping aggressive shampooing with "washing" hair using conditioners (without silicone, butter, wax) and shampoos without SLS, leaving the strong shampoos (with SLS) only for monthly cleansing, and even then use only a little bit and dilute it. Of course, adding the leave-in conditioners, oils, and masks will be great too, but most of all - stop stripping your hair. Last but not least, make sure you are not exposing your hair to damage, get silky scrunchies, silky pillowcase, delicate towel, and massage your scalp with hydrating serums/scalp conditioners. I had a crazy amount of baby hair after two months of rubbing in an organic gel that I'm making at home. Try not to stress, embrace the process, and be good to yourself.
@@Dearenglish8 You basically boil the flax seeds in a small pot, separate it and place in the container. You can apply on dry or wet hair, use as scalp conditioner, add to masks and henna in coloring, each way needs a it different method, I will be posting a video about it in a few days on my channel and socials.
I don’t have hair loss but I started taking Viviscal years ago after a bad bleach job and that stuff works! My hair is crazy thick and long! I have naturally straight and fine hair but have a ton of it now 😀
I received a couple of LaseMd treatments with synthetic prp and with take home kerafactor. The instructions on the kerafactor also suggests red-light therapy in conjunction. Might try this in combo with your red-light cap!🥰
I've had excellent results with minoxidil, which is pretty darn cheap these days. And for the women out there using 5%, it's recommended to use only once a day for women, but twice a day for men...so always buy the one labeled for men! It's sold by monthly supply, so there's twice the product in the one labeled for men. Also, I did use the 5% twice a day initially and no matter how careful I was to only get it on my scalp, I got an increase in body and facial hair. Using it only once a day lessened this side effect, but gives me great results. I just wouldn't mess with any of the things here (and certainly wouldn't spend $1,300 for that helmet thing!) without trying minoxidil first.
You cannot grow much additional hair below the line of occipital bone. The OB is the bone protrusion in the back of your head. If you make an imaginary line following the protrusion line around the whole head, that is the line of demarcation. If you see most very bald men, they have a lot of hair below that line. Generally, for women, unless you have alopecia areata or are on medical treatment for cancer, you will not lose much hair below that line. Some people will from age and for some reason, nothing works in that area to regrow or redeem the density of hair you had when you were young. Androgenic alopecia, and most times, telegenic effluvium, mostly concentrates on the front, crown, hairline and sides of the hair. On many people, the hair loss will concentrate on the crown, front, temples and only one side of your head.
Im so happy to finally see someone with the exact balding I have. Been losing my hair since i was a teenager I am now 25 and still trying different things. Definately getting one of these red light hats and using rosemary/peppermint by mielle. Thank you for your videos you have made me feel so much better. You are also very pretty and intelligent so grateful that you are on youtube helping other people like us with this very common issue. 🙏🏽❤️
I’m happy for you new hair growth! I actually have noticed your hairline the last few videos you’ve posted. I have personally struggled myself with hair loss. I have the irestore helmet and I would do two sessions. One on top of my head and then pull all my hair up on top of my head and place the helmet on the back of my head.
I've had hair loss for a long time in my early 20s. Dermatologists I've seen mainly say it's probably genetics and there's nothing to be done (other health issues are treated and balanced). I want to try the iRestore helmet for all the reasons Cassandra listed but the price is an issue... seeing someone else it works for may push me over the edge for buying. I seriously appreciate you sharing your hairloss journey!!!
I have hairmax and it’s also red light and laser. It’s cheaper but u do need to move it every 30 seconds so it covers all the scalp because it’s like a thick hairband 😅
as someone with pcos, ive been patiently waiting for this for this video to compare it with my treatments and see what your recommendations would be. :)
Don't listen to a word in this video dude. She didn't even mention minoxidil! 🙄 minoxidil and spironolactone are the mvps for hormonal hair loss. Get your thyroid levels checked if you can and haven't already. All this shit she's promoting here is straight up snake oil.
My hair is down to my waist.. inky list salicylic scalp exfoliate, the ordinary peptide hair serum and RICE WATER are great for me... I use biosilk hydrating shampoo and conditioner when I wash .. the basic rice water for 15 minutes before I wash and condition is the most amazing thing for my hair.
I lost a ton due to postpartum hair loss around 8ish months ago... it's coming back, but not as full as I'd like. Definitely going to try these... thank you. Merry Christmas!!💗
Just wanted to share something I learned recently: pregnancy actually pushes more hairs into growth and maintenance phases so during pregnancy many of us experience great hair and growth, but after pregnancy the hair goes back into shedding. That’s why many of us experience “postpartum hair loss”. What you’re experiencing is apparently very normal. Some food for thought. ❤️
@@PurplePandaPete I've known quite a few women to give birth recently and the hair loss is more excessive than before they got pregnant making balding more noticeable and evident. I'm pregnant now and my mother keeps telling me to expect intense balding for a while after I give birth (as she experienced intense postpartum hair loss). It is a thing, and it can be overwhelming.
@@chypearce8457 get blood work ran after pregnancy. OBs do not know much about the nutrients and minerals we need. We lose so much blood our iron levels plummet. Then when breastfeeding that can take even more nutrients our body needs. Sometimes a prenatal is not enough.
@@chypearce8457 Get blood work done after you have the baby. OBs do not test our blood after child birth. We become severely deficient in the trace minerals, vitamins our bodies need. If your ferritin levels dropped below 80, you can experience hair loss. Low vitamin D can cause it too.
I had to cut my hair shorter because my hair was thinning and falling out. It was the ssri's I was on that caused it. Luckily, I was able to get off and not need to be on them. Now I'm about to start oral minoxidil.
I don’t take SSRIs, but I take Depakote and Klonipin (anti seizure meds) and they are known for hair loss. HOWEVER, I have taken them for twenty-five years before this started, so I have also gone to a short haircut, so at least my brush doesn’t make me feel so defeated. we are attributing it to menopause and heredity.
Awh i feel like you just look prettier and prettier as time goes on which i didnt think was even more possible pretty lady. Ur skin looks fantastic! Thank you cruelty free friend for ur help❤️
I appreciate this video and this comment section as I have lost half of my hair in the last two years. I went and got scalp treatments at the Blow Me Away salon in Los Angeles and as enjoyable as they were I didn’t see an improvement in hair growth. What was helpful about them was the scalp camera/microscope that showed me the condition of my scalp going in and after months of fasting and changing my diet I started seeing new growth. Unfortunately as soon as I started eating unhealthy again and fasting less often I started to lose my hair again. I have had two people tell me that the red light helmets helped them so that may be my next move.
How long were your fasting windows? Did you do OMAD/IF, or extended fasting for days at a time? I practice OMAD but have been considering an extended fast for optimal cell purging. I'm curious about your personal experience... hope you see this 😀

Amazing hair serum. I have been using littleexta reaactivate hair growth serum for about a month now for my severe hair fall issue. It is very effective for me. Furthermore, new hairs are appearing now. This is my second bottle. Hair fall decreased right away and new hair growth also started now. Absolutely loving THE SERUM!
Previously, I was using a different serum and then started using the reactiivate growth serum. The Reactivate worked, and I m actually seeing new baby hairs following 3.5 months of application.
This look like fake comments
My dermatologist suggested I forget all the potions that may or may not work and just use minoxidil and red-light. Best decision I ever made and it's only $26 for a 6-month supply. Used the minoxidil for a year and the results were phenomenal. Added red-light and got even more. It's changed my life.
Did you buy a red light cap or get treatments with your derm?
Where did you get the minoxidil? Only ones I can find are around 50€ per 3 month treatment
@@marileen._. I bought the iRestore 👍
@@Alex-bc3bz My derm suggested the Kirkland brand from Costco. You don't have to be a Costco member or have a card. It's in liquid form (dropper style) at 5% strength. They don't sell the liquid version in stores (only the foam) and I use it once a day every night. It's $17.99 for 6 bottles 👍I began seeing baby hairs after about 3 months. I'm 56 and knew I'd lose my hair one day since my dad lost his in his 20's and my mother lost most of hers after menopause. If you stop using it permanently then your hair will go back to where it would've been had you never used it. I do occasionally skip a day here and there with no problem. But I see it as an extention of my skincare which I do every night, too. Best decision I ever made and I don't care if I have to use it forever to keep these results. 🤷🏻♀️ WORTH IT!
That’s great to hear! My hair Derm told me the exact same thing. Forget the serums and stuff and use %5 minoxidil. I just upgraded my irestore to the professional one that’s in the video. Excited to see how the irestore and minoxidil work together
This is my first time growing my hair, and your videos have been really helpful on this journey. I apply an egg mask to my hair once a week and massage my scalp thrice weekly with liittleextra coocoonion oil. Then, I rinse with cocoonion shampoo, and I stick to this routine consistently. I'm happy to say that my hair fall is gone now.
This liitlleextra cooconiion oil is infused with rosemary, coconut, onion, hibiscus, which are superfoods for hair growth. Loved its texture. The smell is subtle and not overwhelming. Overall, it’s a great product and it helped me reduce hair fall by over 85%.
I experienced massive hair loss during menopause. I use Pacifica's Rosemary Purify line along with essential oil of peppermint and rosemary applied at night prior to a hair wash day. I typically wash my hair 3x's per week. I added a deep conditioning mask 1x per week to strengthen my mids and ends. My hair has improved and I have experienced re-growth.
Thank you for taking the time to create and share this informative content. My good friend used Norlest's natural hair recipes, and his hair started growing back normally without falling out. I was shocked.
My hair growth success story regime below:
1. Scalp Massage Daily for 20 Minutes Everyday
2. Taoist Soap for Hair Growth 2x a week on scalp (Can find online or UK Pharmacies)
3. Nettle Leaf Tea 2x a day to clean out hormone residue in the liver which causes hormone imbalances
4. Collagen Supplement daily, 2x a day in powder form (nothing fancy, just buy from online or pharmacy)
I did these and my hair is much thicker, and grows superfast, now i don't have to do this as consistently like I did before, but at the start you need to be consistent.
love this, thank you!
You are a women btw so you dont go bald as much as men does.
Just as a heads up, there are a lot of things that affect iron absorption! Including tea. As long as there’s a 2 hour window between consumption of your coffee and iron supplement/iron rich foods, it won’t interfere with absorption. Hoping this will help because I also love my coffee (and am prone to having low iron levels)
Magnesium interferes with iron absorption as well.
Gluten interfered with mine. That’s how I found out I couldn’t tolerate gluten anymore at 50yo. I was sooo deficient in iron and Zinc they thought I had Arsenic poisoning ( because of my job at the wastewater treatment plant). Gluten inflamed by body so much that I wasn’t absorbing anything. My hair was falling out in clumps. So food allergies will try to kill you. I also passed out behind the wheel and an caused accident. Thank god alls well that ends well. Check for allergies is the summery.
dairy does as well!!
Does this include decaffeinated teas or all teas? @rachelzip3144
Also if u guys take heme iron pills, it's not affected by coffee at all, so u can really take them together. I switched to heme cause I'm also a coffee drinker lol, and best decision of my life. Only thing that affects it is calcium greater than 300mg:)
Peppermint oil absolutely works with a few caveats….
1) make sure it’s a 3% dilution I like to use grapeseed oil or jojoba
2) It should stay on your head for approximately 8 to 12 hours so put it in the morning wear your hair up or in a bun and wash that night or sleep overnight with a scarf in your head
3) Massage the scalp preferably with that silicon scalp massager before and after application
I have more growth around my hair line and less breakage.
The only other thing that has really thickened my hair and shown a big difference is Nioxin Density Rescue. My hair looks like a wig it’s so thick!
I use the peppermint oil and the jojoba also but also mix it with coconut and I can feel it as I'm sure you can too
Can I use this with castor oil??
@@SOLOTUYA too thick but if you want to put some it wouldn’t hurt. Just mostly a thinner oil that you could “cut” with a tsp of castor
Did you use the serum or night rescue
I'm so happy for you Cassandra. My mom is experiencing hair loss in her 70's. It's hard to see her struggling with hair loss. She doesn't try alot of crazy treatments, she isn't interested. I believe black women experience hair loss from doing crazy stuff to their hair. We do alot. I hear heat destroys your hair, but that's for another conversation.
Wrong! Hair and hair follicles are two different things!!!!! You can bleach and damaged your hair all your life, and it won't affect your hair follicle! Hair follicle is only impacted by internal stuff like hormones, stress etc!
@@leanture3685 ummm... rude. FYI, pulling the hair into tight hair styles like buns and braids does, in fact, damage the hair and hair follicles, making hair fall out and growth slow down and stop all together over time.
So true! My daughter wanted extensions when she was a teen. They pulled her hair so tight, the skin at her nape was being pulled up. Awful. It did help convince her to go for sisterlocks, like I kept suggesting. She's going on 40 now and has long, gorgeous, natural locks. Eff the white media for telling black women they can't go natural and be beautiful.
There are always testimony when you take DR RORPOPOR ON RUclips natural remedies 😊 give it a chance and testify.......🎉
I don't believe blow drying your hair is bad. When I went "natural" my hair at first it was amazing my curls where healthy beautiful...then my hair started looking dry it would frizz then the shedding started and now I've lost my curl pattern 😢. I'm going to go back to just straightening my hair.
Kudos to you for creating such an informative and engaging video. There are completely natural recipes for preventing hair loss that anyone can make at home, and they are very effective. What's best about them is that after you stop using them, your hair remains the same, it doesn't start falling out again. I believe Norlest has all these recipes and products. Check it out.
Things that I've done that have helped...
Using Fermented rice water
Using green tea rinse; it helps block the dht
Rosemary oil and/or rosemary water
Codeage Hair Vitamins; I have noticed so much new growth taking these.
Scalp Acupuncture
@ prmtv, hi, do you make the fermented rice water, and would you kindly explain ??
Hi Cassandra. I believe Biotin works in growing existing hair only. Whenever I stop using Biotin, I notice that my nails and hair don't grow as quickly. But when I resume using Biotin, my hair and nails grow superfast. They grow so fast that I need to have my hair trimmed more often and need to file my nails back every other day rather than just once a week. But I never see new growth of hair that I didn't already have.
Taking Saw Palmetto has helped my hair loss, it blocks the dht and also stops unwanted facial hair. Stress causes imbalances in hormones, cut out the toxic people in your lives btw
I would say so too. I loss a lot of hair due to toxic people.
I will try saw palmetto, thanks! I agree, I can see new growth after getting rid of a toxic person in my life, it was the same 6 years ago. No coincidence. I’m an empath, so attract them. Lesson learnt. I have met so many other females in narcissistic victim support groups who had also experienced hair loss.
Same here. Since I Divorced my Toxic Ex, I lost weight and my hair feels stronger!!!❤❤❤
I've been suffering hair fall due to hiv (either the medicines, the disease itself or the stress it gave me) and Ill definitely consider these options ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Try Rosemary oil or Rosemary water. It works wonders and gives fast results. I'm on cancer medication that was thinning my hair. No more thinning🙌 I saw results in the first week!
I find that The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum worked well for me. My hair line definitely looks fuller. It takes time and consistency, but I think it is effective. I do agree that it can make your hair oily, so I use it the night before I wash my hair.
Same, exactly! I don’t use it before being seen by the public because it does make you look kinda greasy, but using it a few times a week has dramatically reversed my hair loss (and my mom’s, and a few friends’ too). I’d still suggest people try it out given how reasonably priced it is and how effective it has been for many.
It works for me too. It's not a miracle, but with consistent use it significantly lessens my hair fall. I use it on my scalp, eyebrows and (carefully with a q-tip) on my lashes as well. I think it can be difficult to realize it's working because the results take time, but if you stop using it.... you'll realize it was definitely working! I did also try the lash and brow serum from The Ordinary, but after about 3 months I realized that most of my new brow and lash growth had fallen out, so I went back to the regular hair growth serum, and they grew back again.
Same BUT I had minimal loss so it could def be that because my sis has major loss and didn’t see any difference
How long did you take it before seeing results approximately?
@@delldell8993 I honestly couldn’t tell you because I was not consistent. I just slowly started realizing that my hairline looked fuller.
It's actually INSANE how much taking care of my scalp over the last year and half has changed my hair. I oiled and massaged my scalp pre-wash, used scalp exfoliant for a few months, and then simplified my whole hair routine a la Blowout Professor
I switched to Redken acidic bond series, the TINY BOTTLES lasted me 6 months and I wash 2* every 4 days.
My hair is long, healthy and I got a ton of new growth- my hairline filled in after years of mild balding
Lowering stress levels also makes a huge difference, and takes like 3+ months to see effects.
Blow out professor doesn't rate the shampoo and conditioner though only the treatment. He likes the Redken volume but so many people say Redken is drying and highly scented. Good it worked for you. I don't know where to start. Do you use the pureology as well cos I found that stuff awful and drying.
@@natmya243 I remember him saying that once you switch to a professional shampoo, after about 3-4 washes the build up on your hair and scalp has been effectively cleaned and that's when a lot of people experience dryness. He then stresses the importance of using a hair mask and leave in conditioner to add moisture, and oil to ends of hair to help keep moisture in.
As someone who’s losing their hair, I’m really thankful for these updates. But I think it would be more useful if you mentioned the cause of your Hairloss as different methods work for particular Hairloss.
Totally agree with you, not enough talk on cause. From my experience, the cause for hair thinning is inflammation, even if the greater cause is hormones, DHT, vitamin lacking or others. So to reduce inflammation on the scalp, I personally do the following: Scalp massage (or anything that will increase circulation in the scalp) for at least 10 minutes to 30 minutes everyday, then to cover localized inflammation I use the Taoist Soap for Hair, It's designed to stop inflammation whatever it touches (don't have to use it everyday tho), and then to cover amino acid requirement I take collagen 2 times a day, 2 tablespoons. I already commented about this above on the main comment section, but thought id repeat it as may help you. Its alwasy the combination this regime that has helped me and my family most in helping keep hair thicker, and recover lost hair (for me). Women in the family get results with this faster weirdly.
After chemo treatment for 6 months, my hair grew back but my hairline had receded on both sides of my temple. My hairdresser told me about this amazing product which I have been using for about 3 weeks and already my hair is growing back really well. The shampoo and conditioner definitely has peppermint in it (tingles a bit), and after rinsing out, I used the serum which s is a “stay in” serum. My hair started growing back after 1 week of using it. I only washed my hair twice a week and had used the serum every day on dry hairline for the first week. I’m so happy with it. Also I checked with my oncologist before using it and she told me it won’t affect my tablets I’m on for my after chemo treatment pills 😀
What are the products you used?
@@itsacarolbthing5221 taoist soap, just google them they ship everywhere. but you should still do a regime, like mentioned.
@@evaadams8298 what’s the serum?
I do not recommend silicone scalp massagers if you have a compromised scalp! Particularly in the shower. I was diagnosed with seb derm 2 years ago and thought the scrubber would help me get a better clean in the shower, but I'm sure now that it was contributing to shedding when washing. Just my experience!
Agree. I quit using. Felt like it was taking out more hair!
For anyone that purchases the Irestore helmet, please be aware that the 12 month money back guarantee has some pretty specific rules to it, and there is a restocking fee so you do not get all your money back if the product does not work for you
Thank you so much for pointing this out! I just went to purchase & saw they made changes (or I missed the specific conditions before) so I’ve opted not to shell out $2100 plus tax for something that will keep 18% fee PLUS SALES TAX (how is that even legal?) and charge me for return shipping. The only reason I was willing to try such an expensive device was because they had such a liberal trial policy, which made it worth the risk. It’s never a good sign when the policy changes. It makes me wonder if enough people didn’t see results and returned it; that’s usually when return policies get changed. I can’t imagine people abusing the return policy because if they did see results, why would they return it given it only works if you continue using it? sadly, my last hope is now off the table. Ironically, they do refund for empty bottles of shampoo. Go figure on that “logic”…,
One thing that I've noticed that makes the biggest difference is on wash days I was my hair upside down, I've been doing it for years and I never noticed how well it worked with hair growth until recently. Back in June 2022, I cut my hair a good inch or so above my shoulders and as of today my hair is about 4 inches below my shoulders!! I take a good 3/5 minutes and just gently massage my head while washing, and then I gently rise both shampoo and my conditioner upside down too!! It's made the biggest difference for growth and I never really noticed until today
Cassandra I love your fun, sweet, caring personality! You made me smile and I needed to hear positive things today as I experience my aging hair and skin problems. Thank you for sharing your hair journey 💕
Wait just a second! The Nuderma high-frequency wand with neon REALLY helped me with my hair loss! I used it with a biotin caffeine peppermint rosemary oil and let me tell you! I lost honestly 3 hair when I washed my hair as compared to the huge gobs I was losing without it. I believe it has to do with the blood circulation in your scalp and follicles holding on to those hairs and not letting go when I would wash my hair. I did this right before jumping into the shower and the hair loss amount was astounding!! I use it every time I wash my hair. When I use it, I only use it on my scalp, not the lengths and I am about to go wash, so it doesn't matter if it gets frizzy! I won't be without it!
You are correct. I make a similar mix myself
@Holly G Hey! Cool! And you are a curly too! I am watching your saved video about broccoli sprouts. I follow Dr. BERG on RUclips, I take a few of his supplements and I drink his WHEATGRASS SUPERFOOD daily, and let me tell you, I see a difference in myself! I have several health issues, including RA, Lupus, and severe bone loss. Check him out, you won't be sorry. Take care! 💜
@@adonissgirl8545 Do you do the AIP? Life changing along with scalp oils/etc for me....if you see this then I will keep adding info
Rosemary oil is also nice for hair growth! Mielle has a Rosemary peppermint hair oil that’s already pre-diluted with carrier oils. And it’s fairly affordable 😊
Does it work?
@@niellalien It works well for me! I find that it’s thickened the hair near my temples and the front of my hairline.
I’m seeing great results with rosemary oil, I have a lot of new baby hairs. My natural hair is very thin and brown and these new guys are black and thick.
Keep in mind that if you have high blood pressure , AVOID rosemary. It can raise your BP higher. Be safe!
Please be cautious if you have pets, Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats! To the point to which a drop on their skin or repeated exposure to a pillowcase can kill them 😢
I am another curly haired girl. My hair started thining when I was around 40. I tried all sorts of serums (including The Ordinary and Watermans), I started using Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner with Lavender around a year ago (when I turned 50) and my hair is thicker, not extreme effects, but definetly thicker. Don't know if this product is the cause, but it is better. Having thin and/or fine curly hair is really difficult to cope with, but there are things that can help.
Damn mine started this year at the age of 23
Thank you for making this video because I have been dealing with hair loss for the first time and have been very stressed about it!
As someone who had hormonal hair loss from a low estrogen birth control it can be so overwhelming to see it disappear 😓😓. I got the birth control out (took over a year to get insurances okay) and started several supplements (encouraged by doctor) For me it was collagen (6000mg), biotin (10,000mg), black sesame seed (500mg). Definitely look into to the sesame I saw the most difference after adding it!!
That a amazing Deanne! Did you take it orally or use in your hair?
Thx for sharing. Did you take the sesame seed internally or apply its oil to the scalp?
@@NarsilRenewed Since she listed it as 500mg. I'm guessing it's a gel capsule.
Can I ask what brand of BC it was?
@@msevfreak23 nexplanon
Putting rosemary essential oil straight to my scalp actually worked for my hair growth. The way I did it though, is I would put it straight to the scalp, massage it well, after a couple of hours I would then rinse it off with shampoo and water. Did this for about four months every other night or so. I had no scalp irritation whatsoever.
So you didn’t have to dilute it with a carrier oil?
No, i did not. I don’t have a sensitive scalp though, so just because it did not irritate me does not mean it won’t irritate you.
@@alve2977 Hi, when did you start seeing growth? I am 2 weeks in
Did you dilute the rosemary oil with a carrier oil? Cheers!
I tried but u made the mistake of putting it directly on my head .. it’s very strong and needs to be diluted. I think it caused hair to fall from the root, very scary 😱 but I know it will co m r back! ❤
Learning how to manage my naturally wavy hair has really helped disguise my hair loss. It just looks fuller that way.
There's an Indian brand called Plum. Their scalp treatment serum and the olive macadamia hair mask is sooooo good. Especially if you put heat on your hair on a regular basis, the hair mask is just what your hair needs and the best part is they're vegan and alcohol-free.
Hi even I use it. It is wonderful for my curls.
@@samruddhik05can guys use it too?
Rice shampoo for growth and rosemary oil is amazing my hair always feels smooth and glossy and it grows like crazy - onion juice works amazing too, or the water from soaking rice for 2 hours and leaving it in! These are cheaper easier ways to do this! Save money! Peppermint oil and rosemary oil Togo’s great all those tingly ones tea tree oil are all stimulants! And also putting your head upside down while massaging these products into your hair helps the blood flow to the top of your head! These work just can’t be lazy and must try ut
I'm proud of you Cassandra! I'm trying to grow up my hair too. The otdinary peptide actually woked for me
For me as well. I'm already at my second bottle.
Same same. I am using my 4th bottle. I apply the serum to my scalp after hair wash. I don’t find it greasy at all. I wash my hair every 4-5 days and have been happy with the results.
omg same! i love the ordinary peptide serum! im on my 2nd bottle, and once i started using it I noticed significantly less hair shedding when I wash and detangle my hair. In between bottles I actually stopped for 2 weeks till I got a chance to buy another bottle, and noticed increased hair shedding during those wash days that I didn't use it! it definitely works for decreasing shedding!
Would anyone who tried The ordinary peptide know if it helps with premature greying also?
@@luckshmee I imagine it would. The mechanisms that cause loss of pigment in the hair growth cycle are the same as those that (eventually) cause the hair to fall out. I hear copper is also important in creating the natural pigment that forms hair color, so I am thinking their Buffet + Copper peptites formulation might also help with this, as well as increasing copper in the diet. Some copper rich foods are sweet potato, shellfish (like shrimp and clams) and dark chocolate.
I’m 49 years old. When my body experiences any kind of stress physically or emotionally. My hair falls out. It’s been happening for about 5 years now. I too have the red light helmet. It’s always a big laugh in my house . My two boys call me red leader from Star Wars haha. I am about 2 months into the hair md program so a little early to tell. But no irritation, so that’s good. I will be ordering the cat massager . If I could pay someone to massage my shoulders, neck face and scalp. That would be a dream.!! Looking for someone in my area to do that.
I also take
Cod liver oil
Sea moss
Seaweed
Along with every other supplement available to mankind. 🤦🏼♀️
I do have lots of baby hairs .
Thank you for your fun informative videos !!
For me I have used the scalp messager for 3ish years now and have noticed how clean my scalp gets which always helps with hair growth! I have also always used my Haitian black castor oil in my hair masks and it was amazing for my hair!
Overall I think always having a healthy and clean scalp makes ALL the difference:)
The plastic one?
I had this after following a vegan diet for 15 years...my hair loss was terrible and my bones were like a 70 year olds and I was in my late twenties. Ended up reintroducing animal products and they fixed everything, the supplements weren't doing anything. I just try as hard as I can to make sure they're high welfare, free range and organic and only eat meat a couple of times a week. Sad, but I was making myself sick from a vegan diet. My doctor told me its actually quite common which is scary!
oh, also had to cut out soy completely if anyone is curious. Unfermented soy (like soy milk) trashes your digestive system completely!
@@imogen9964 thanks for letting us know, me myself I eat alot of meat because I love it but hopefully someone who doesn't will read your comment and rethink what they are eating or... not eating and should be.. :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was vegan (100% raw organic foods with green smoothies every day) for about 5 years and, despite taking all of the highest quality vital supplements, the vegan diet destroyed my health. It nearly killed me. Like you, I only eat high welfare, free range, organic, local meat. In my experience, the paleo diet is by far the healthiest. All best wishes :)
Nutritional deficiencies are definitely causative in hairloss, male and female. They almost always suppress thyroid function which regulates the metabolism. Hairloss is common among hypothyroid patients (ie, people with suppressed metabolism). When energy metabolism is dysfunctional the body restricts resources for non essential functions (eg hair and nail growth). You may also experience cold hands and feet. While external causes will vary, hairloss can only occur via these particular pathways. It is an end result of underlying metabolic stress. Everything is connected.
Same here. Could not even conceive for years with medication. reintroduced fish, eggs,cheese ,meat and boom got pregnant in a months. Oh and plus messed up my thyroid and now on medication till the day I die
So glad to hear your hair is returning! I was just doing some reading about alternative pain relief, specifically Succinic acid. I got off topic a bit when they started discussing benefits for acne treatment and hair regrowth and thickness. This statement "Succinic acid has antioxidant and regenerating properties, thickens the hair shaft from the inside, improving its appearance. It activates hair growth, has a beneficial effect on the scalp, improving metabolic processes in cells." had me remembering your video that I viewed a few hours ago. There were also comments that it has long been used in facial products because it is gentle on the skin, more so than salicylic acid and can help balance oil production. I have seen your videos about your journey with both hair and skin issues and wondered what you think of this? I did see that the Inkey list had acne products labeled as Succinic acid. What do you think of this acid for hair and/or skin? Have you already tried it in one or more of your red zone products? Have you decided not to try it for reasons I might not be aware of? Thanks for the videos! Good luck with your product trials!
I was so excited to see this update. I have been struggling with Androgenetic Alopecia for years, but it really peaked last June. I had the blood tests run, but I didn’t do any more, and now it has a good head start on me. I began Minoxidil in November, and added Spironalactone this month. I also use Viviscal Pro, all the hair supplements, and I’ve ordered the iRestore (Dr. Dray’s code) which should be delivered by the first of the year. You add things one at a time to isolate your variables, but I work in reverse. I jump in with both feet, and if/when I see results, I fade out interventions until I reach the minimum effective program. Please keep us informed on how you are doing.
Minoxidil and spironolactone are the real MVPs here. I'm super disappointed she didn't even mention them. Minoxidil is literally THE gold standard in treating hair loss. 🙄 all this other crap is straight up snake oil. It really makes me question Cassandra. She's a trained esthetician with access to field professionals. There's no way that at the very least minoxidil (and spiro) weren't mentioned to her yet she's wasting time, money and follicles on all these crap money grabs and promoting people and products to her fans. Especially the irestore. I've done a ton of research on it. The reviews speak for themselves. Most derms don't actually recommend any at home LED/laser devices. Idk man. It really makes me raise an eyebrow here.
@@noddygirl hello what brand of minoxidil do you recommend? i am trying to grow my hair long and thick. i’ve bleached it for years but recently did a root melt to blend my natural regrowth in with the bleach blonde so i don’t have to dye it anymore and can finally let it be natural ❤ i don’t have much hair loss but i have noticed around my face the hairline is getting a little bit thinned out. i think it may be from the bleaching though. and when i sleep my hair will get matted if i don’t wear my silk head scar sometimes. TIA🫶🏼
also how do i get prescribed spironolactone?
@@noddygirl I can’t speak for Cassandra, but I know she feels very strongly about cruelty free products. I would think, as the FDA almost always tests on animals prior to human trials, that medications would be her last choice of treatment.
@@_sunchildd I use the Kirkland 5% liquid from Amazon (Costco has it, too.).
@@_sunchildd I second Kirkland. But be aware apparently there's fakes out there. Weird that people would rip off such a cheap medication but I guess they do.
Low dose oral monoxidil along with a good saw palmetto extract has helped my adrenergic alopecia TREMENDOUSLY!! The growth, density, and new lowered hairline has been incredible
I'm glad to hear that. I didn't pick up my low dose minoxidil med from the pharmacy scared of any side effects. I might get it and start using it today
Will the hair fall when you stop the medication? Will you take it long term, nonstop? Thanks
@@stacyfrisco5891 Yes, it's a bit of a deal with the devil. Stopping it might also make your condition worse after.
Studies show a 3x Hair Growth improvement if microneedling (weekly with a 1.5 needle, I now prefer the stamp vs the roller) & 2x day with 5% Minoxidil except on the day of microneedling. Hair loss benefits, I believe, from a multi-modality approach. I also have used a I-restore essential helmet using red light therapy every other day (14 months) and I also use a high frequency wand comb too, less consistently. Others to consider are pumpkin skin seed capsule taken orally and saw palmetto capsules and the same oils applied topically. That said, I've noticed the biggest improvement with daily scalp massage; the motorized one is easy to use daily.
I've been spraying a clove/rosemary water blend after shampooing, before drying, a jamaiican black seed castor oil shampoo (which strengthens hair/less hair fall), microneedling my scalp every other week, and washing my hair in cool/lukewarm water for 6 months. I also use a blowout hair tool instead of a traditional hairdryer now. Doing all of these things has made a huge difference in hair fall, and my hair is growing back where it was thinning so badly before. Such a difference already! It is still a process but I cannot wait to see what my hair looks like at the one yr mark. I also take a supplement called hair hero but that alone didn't seem to be enough for me to see a difference, although it is the number two recommended supplement after Nutrafol. I want to do it naturally and without chemicals.
Any updates? Would love to hear about your hair grow story.
@@marionym5969 in the year since I started these things my hair has grown back in A LOT but it still has a way to go to be as thick as it was before significant hair loss. It had gotten so thin on top my scalp was showing. I've noticed in the last month or so since I changed up my vit D pill to include K2 my hair seems to be growing in faster than before. K2 is supposed to help the body absorb vit D better and vit D helps hair growth. The Jamaiican Black Seed Castor Oil shampoo has DEFINITELY made my hair root stronger and my hair loss is minimal now. I also don't shampoo as often and went with an all natural shampoo to use with the castor oil shampoo. One to cleanse, one to strengthen. I believe the spray and dermaroller are still making a difference too. I'm very happy with the progress.
I also use Blood Builder! It's the only iron supplement that doesn't cause me to get severely constipated. I get super anemic thanks to my super heavy periods.
I have been microneedling my hairline including the lower areas at the back as I have patches when I tie my hair up too. It has made a difference. I use my LED panel front, sides and back of head. I take hydrolysed collagen. In all I have seen results in the last 8 - 12 months doing all of this ❤
I used to experience severe hair loss, pulling gobs of hair out of my comb and brush. I started taking DHT blocker supplements and now I hardly have any hair in my comb after a shower. I also treat my scalp with 5% minoxidil (the one for men because it’s cheaper) and use it only once a day at night. That is the only product that makes new little hairs start to grow. But I have to stay consistent. I went on a 3 week trip and didn’t take it with me. 6 weeks later all my new growth fell out. Actually came out. So now I am back on both products and will continue them for the rest of my life.
The ordinary peptide hair serum is what worked for me big time .. I was already taking lots of supplements & collagen but when I added the ordinary hair serum there was significant growth after 3 months
I just bought the COMFIER Cordless Electric Hair Scalp massager! I luv it! We’ll see if it helps with my thinning hair. But I love it too. Anyway, it makes my scalp and head feel fantastic. I asked several hairdressers about my hair thinning they said you need to massage your scalp. It’s so hard to do until now! I love this thing. Thank you for introducing it to us.
The three things that worked for me were 1. Drinking collagen powder in my tea every morning. 2. Investing in a really good shower filter to soften and remove all the calcium and other contaminants from my hard water and 3. Investing in the SRI DryQ hairdryer. It has infrared light which is really good for my scalp. I went from a thin bob to thicker hair below my shoulders. My hair also has more body. You guys may want to check the quality of your water.
What collagen powder do you use? Thank you.
Hard water has destroyed my hair. Even filtering it on shower head every 2-3 months changing out the filters. Worst water ever is in the south cuz if lime & calcium. I’ve lost 1/2 my hair in just 2 yrs since I moved here from northeast.😔😔😔😔😔
I hate it when people on RUclips are extra excited and hyper, it's exhausting to watch and get educated
So don't watch? Find another channel? You're on *her* channel...
I had Covid hair loss in April. Lasted for 2 months. I did nothing for it, other than not blow drying or coloring it. It is growing back now.
A few things!
1) what hairbrush did you start using? I may be blind and have missed it in the description.
2) I struggled with hair loss this last year, I think triggered by stress from a personal tragedy. One thing my dermatologist recommended was Nutrofol. Just to add to the list of things to look into that might help someone :) I didn't track results enough to know how effective or not it was for me. I'm fortunate and in the last few months, it seems the loss has finally stopped and growth is coming in again.
I have androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium and I can also vouch for the irestore! ive been using it for almost a year now.
Hi Cassandra, I was watching your video yesterday and I notice how good your hair looked! I was hoping for an update on your hair. I never Clicked so fast! Thank you for your honesty and explaining the science behind it. I just recently bought the irestore this past Black Friday and I’ve been using it every other day. Dr. Dray sold me on that too.
I’ve been experiencing hair loss/thinning but recent notice in October of this yr it was more than usual. Did some research tried vegamour (that didn’t work for me it irritated my scalp). Made an appointment with my dermatologist but had to wait a month for an appointment. I became depressed because my hair is like my identity. I made an appointment to see my physician because I was just so upset about my hair and other medical issues that I wanted to go on depression medication and get lab work done.
The day before my appointment with my physician I came across Covid hair loss. I have heard that people had that but didn’t pay it much attention. But the day before my appointment I looked into. And basically everything I was experiencing was identical to the hair loss from Covid AKA telogen effluvium. I felt so relieved that I had figured out what was going on. That my hair would comeback and that it wasn’t hair loss it was just my hair shedding. I went into that appointment in hopes she would send me for blood work to make sure my labs were good. I explained to her about the Covid hair loss she instantly shut me down and said that “we don’t have enough information” she didn’t hear me out at all. It was extremely disappointing. I asked for blood work to check my iron and vitamin D… she told me vitamin D has nothing to do with hair loss. I went for blood work and she didn’t even check my iron or vitamin D like I asked. She checked testosterone, WBC, RBC… I am currently looking for a new physician. She rushed me out of the office.
I went to the dermatologist and she herself was experiencing TE from Covid. She understood. She checked my iron and vitamin D. My iron was low and my vitamin was extremely low. I’ve learned to advocate for myself and speak up.
I am not sure if irestore will help me with TE but I do have new hair growing. Dr. Dray doesn’t have hair loss but she does say that it makes her ponytail thicker. I figured it will strengthen my hair and won’t hurt it. I’m also taking supplements for iron and Vitamin D.
Vitamin D supplements helped my nails grow longer than ever before and I suspect we’re helping my hair as well…I haven’t been taking them lately maybe that’s why I’m losing my hair again…
How much was the iRestore for the Black Friday sale?
@Ang heyyyy, definitely would get a second opinion. Update: I’ve been using irestore consistently every other day since Dec 2022. In addition, I’ve been consistently taking vitamin D and Iron. My hair is growing back very quickly. So much so my dermatologist is very impressed and was asking me about the irestore (not sure if she will get one for herself or recommend for future pts.) she said my hair is way ahead of where most people who experienced TE. Which was so relieving to hear. Definitely, advocate for yourself. This is your health. You know your body. Good luck with your hair journey.
@@christinerainey7003 consistency is key. It’s really helping me with my hair along with iron supplements and irestore.

i have social axienty and have alot of stress sometimes and half of ny hair has fallen out in 2 years i used too have long thick hair and now i keep it short and thin but i hope this recommendations and tips can help me💕
Mielle Rosemary hair oil massaged two times a week for a few hours and washed out will help you! do some research and see what you think
I’m in the same situation. Have you had any changes since last year?
This chick is the most optimistic hopeful persom ive ever met hahah. Never ever give up.
One of the best treatments for hair loss for both male and female is Saw Palmento
160mg twice a day. Make sure it’s a good standardized product. It has many amazing effects on the body. Your hair will grow back thick and luxurious.
Agreed. I take saw palmetto gummies by Havasu with great results
You are a very funny and bubbly girl. You are right there is a difference. Your hair is growing back, so just keep doing what your doing. Thanks for sharing.👍
That's so unfortunate about The Ordinary products! They single handedly stopped a lot of hair shed for me and regrew a bunch of hairs over my hairline and scalp. So I guess it might be better for certain types of hair loss than others.
Which ones did you use and how? I have hair loss from thyroid issues and take medicine
@@saniaz680 I have the one for hair density not the white liquidy one. I noticed that my scalp was also a lot less itchy and inflammed.
Same BUT I had minimal loss so it could def be that because my sis has major loss and didn’t see any difference
I used The Ordinary hair density products with no problems for more than two years, then suddenly started experiencing itchiness and flakes where I was applying it. Stopped using for a few months, tried it again, same problem. No more The Ordinary hair density product for me. Sigh.
@@1bornconfused922 that’s sad. Did it stop hairfall and helped hair thickness?
I use The Ordinary salisylic acid treatment since I am prone to eczema outbreaks and dry scalp. It also helps with oily scalp! I also use a shampoo brush in the shower but I also use a shower comb to detangle my hair while the conditioner is still on before I rinse it out. This keeps me from pulling at my hair with a brush when I get out of the shower, preventing hair from coming out. I was using Inkey List serum you showed and I feel like it got the process going but it was making my highlights very brassy and drying me hair out. But now with my current routine my hair is growing back so successfully! I was vegan for three years and had a ton of hair loss from it so I’m happy it’s finally coming back.
Girl can't catch a break but glad your trying something that seems to be working. Definitely give them feed back of extending the product further back to reach the back of the scalp.
to regrow my hair (postpartum hair loss) i used the Mielle Rosemary and Mint Scalp and Hair Treatment, Doo Grow Mega Hair Thick Oil, Inkey List Caffeine Scalp Treatment, i will make a rosemary and mint “tea” and put it in my scalp 2x a day, rosemary essential oil diluted in a carrier oil like jojoba or argon, and finally scalp massage 💆♀️ at least 5 minutes a day.
The thing about postpartum hair loss is that it usually regrows on its own within a year or so. It's therefore difficult to know whether a treatment made the hair regrow, or whether it was going to regrow anyway. Women lose a lot of hair after giving birth because during pregnancy our bodies have very high levels of progesterone and estrogen, which disrupts the normal hair cycle and elongates the time hair stays in the growing phase. When these hormone levels drop after giving birth, that extra hair falls out all at once, which makes our hair look thinner than usual. As our hormones balance out the hair goes back to a normal cycle.
The biotin shampoo from Tree to Tub helped me with hair regrowth after having covid. I also had those baby hairs but mine is longer now. Also, that scalp massager looks so relaxing I'm off to find one for myself, thanks 🤗
Hairmax Laserband 82 will reach the area behind your ears. You can position the laserband to shine the red light in that area.
Yeah, I have a red-light mask which really helps my acne, and I'm happy to hear it might be helping my hair grow because I lost some hair during my last pregnacy :(
I lost a great deal of hair after getting Covid 2 years ago. The IRestore has been my saving grace. I came up with a solution for the hair underneath in the very back. Bend down, Flip your hair over and place TBE I restore on the back of your head. 2 sessions, one on the top and one on the back. Works like a charm.
I have a thinning hairline at my bangs and a widow's peak area. I always had very thick hair as a younger person. I'm self-conscious of the thinning bangs. I saw good reviews on amygrow herbal hair oil and decide to try it. I've only been using it for just close to a month so I haven’t seen the result I'm hoping for, but in this short time, I'm beginning to see a little more growth in my bangs. I have high hopes for this hair oil and plan to purchase more to continue use. Since I only use it in the bangs, the product is lasting a good while. I use one squirt of the distributed pump amount and massage it in the edge of my bangs and widow peak. It does not make my hair feel greasy. I apply at night before going to bed. I only wash my hair once a week. There is no routine.
This amy grow herbal hair oil has good reviews. I too have experience with this oil.I did see the result within a month
There are always testimony when you take DR RORPOPOR ON RUclips natural remedies 😊 give it a chance and testify.......🎉
I have a similar hair loss experience - also losing hair randomly in the back- I got blood work done and fixed my iron and vitamin D levels my hair has now grown back
One thing will never solve hairloss. You have to use a combination of things. It starts with nutrition, making sure you are balanced because your diet can contribute to your hormones going whack, keep scalp clean as well. Rosemary essential oil helps as well. It's quite tiring and frustrating having to do different things but consistency with topical treatments and hair oils does help.
@Dr. Christopher Johnson - why would a complete stranger try to befriend someone on this forum - unless you have other motives. I doubt that you are a doctor.
I have thin strands of straight hair and I feel that not brushing/combing my hair when it’s wet has helped. I brush my hair before I wash it and after it air dries and it seems to have helped a lot. I must note that I shower at night and just let my hair air dry. I realize that a lot of people shower in the morning and style their hair so that probably makes a difference
My dermatologist recommended that I get the moisture out of my hair before I go to sleep. A wet scalp is prone to fungal growth and breakdown of the skin. And a wet pillow only prolongs the drying. See if that helps things. I do notice that it helped me
So glad you've found what works for you. Hairmax has a laser hairband that you can put at the nape of your neck. It's only lasers, no LED diodes.
Alot of info out there... I've ordered hairmax as what I've read points to lasers over led being most effective.
Love love Love that you add the prices and pictures of the products
Very surprised you didn't use any rosemary oil on your scalp for hair loss and for scalp problems like dandruff. Rosemary oil has been tested and compared to lower percentage minoxidil.
Also you need to test a product for atleast 3 to 6 months to see if it works.
I actually get rosemary boil it in water and use that water to put on my scalp almost every day.
I usually never listen through a whole video that’s longer than 4min, but you are so entertaining to listen to! Thank you! Also, love the info
I have really suffered with hair loss over the years and have been taking a one a day supplement called Nutrihair and it is so so good. I've been taking it tor about 9 months consistently but started noticing significant changes to the thickness of my hair by the 3 month mark. I have tried so many treatments, supplements but this is like no other.
Hi Cassandra. I suffered hair loss through menopause. I saw a lady on RUclips a couple of years ago recommend 50% castor oil and 50% organic black seed oil. Place in a dark glass bottle with dropper. Only leave on for 10 mins but I would massage it into my scalp in the evening twice a week before washing my hair in the morning. So I’d have it on all night. It worked well
I'm so surprised the ordinary hair peptides didn't work for you! I've seen so much evident growth in my baby hairs from that one. I'm glad you found other stuff that works though!
Do you know if the ordinary will help with covid hair loss? I've been on this hair loss battle for 1 yr now.
Plz tell me does it cause itchy scalp and hairfall initially and fandruff
Thank you for the honest advice. I've been losing my hair for about 4 years now and this gives me hope.
I have been dealing with hair loss a while. It’s been super difficult but I pulled the trigger on the irestore helmet almost 3 months ago and am so happy to hear it worked for you! I am still too early to tell, and have actually noticed more shedding (apparently normal with the helmet) so I’m trying to stay positive for that 6month mark!!
Hey gabby. Any update since you posted this comment on how the irestore has been working for you?
@@Syrup1994 i am 8 months in to using the helmet and I’ve recently started noticing a huge difference. Because it’s a long process and progress is slow I hadn’t noticed much change but I compared progress photos side by side and wow my hair is much thicker and healthier! Also noticing really fast hair growth and thicker strands so overall really happy with my progress! I’ve also been using topical serums and some supplements. But I really do believe the helmet has made the most impact.
Rosemary oil has been shown to work as well as minoxidil. Minoxidil, like many other ingredients, is absorbed systemically and isn't great for your health if you are a sensitive or unhealthy person. This is why it can give heart palpitations.
Great review, it's important to try different things and be patient. As an owner of long hair, who experienced great volume and periods of hair loss, and again regrowth...I have to say the approach has to be holistic, starting from mentioned blood tests, with big attention to diet, washing routine, and general habits. For me, discovering matcha (powder green tea) and drinking it every day did wonders for my gut, skin, and hair because of the constant delivery of antioxidants. I'm sure there are other drinks or supplements that could work this way, matcha worked for me because I loved the taste and I needed a coffee replacement, you have to find something that you will enjoy. A lot of times changing one's diet is more about quitting stuff that weakens the progress like cutting out alco, tobacco, processed food, and processed sugar, limiting some, and replacing others with healthier alternatives (xylitol and stevia instead of sugar, dates instead of candies, magic wand instead of alco:). Changing the washing routine also gives immediate effects, like swapping aggressive shampooing with "washing" hair using conditioners (without silicone, butter, wax) and shampoos without SLS, leaving the strong shampoos (with SLS) only for monthly cleansing, and even then use only a little bit and dilute it. Of course, adding the leave-in conditioners, oils, and masks will be great too, but most of all - stop stripping your hair. Last but not least, make sure you are not exposing your hair to damage, get silky scrunchies, silky pillowcase, delicate towel, and massage your scalp with hydrating serums/scalp conditioners. I had a crazy amount of baby hair after two months of rubbing in an organic gel that I'm making at home. Try not to stress, embrace the process, and be good to yourself.
Could you please share the gel recipe you make at home??
@@Dearenglish8 You basically boil the flax seeds in a small pot, separate it and place in the container. You can apply on dry or wet hair, use as scalp conditioner, add to masks and henna in coloring, each way needs a it different method, I will be posting a video about it in a few days on my channel and socials.
I knew it! Ever since I drank coffee everyday my hairloss got worse 😭
I don’t have hair loss but I started taking Viviscal years ago after a bad bleach job and that stuff works! My hair is crazy thick and long! I have naturally straight and fine hair but have a ton of it now 😀
lol Really?
Where? 😂🤣😂
I tried viviscal to definitely makes a difference
Which one do you use? I'm 65 now and really have started to have hair loss 💔😢
I'm not too crazy about the shark cartilage contained in Viviscal...
Does it work for hair loss? My doctor told me to take those but haven’t started
I like your channel a lot. You don't sugarcoat things and you keep it real with facts/ experience. Keep it cool :)
I received a couple of LaseMd treatments with synthetic prp and with take home kerafactor. The instructions on the kerafactor also suggests red-light therapy in conjunction. Might try this in combo with your red-light cap!🥰
Where did you get Synthetic prp from?
@@mizfizwiz the treatment is called keralase. It was the synthetic prp made to go with the system. I believe it is a kerafactor product as well.
I can not WAIT to see a product update about the “new to you” products you mentioned in this video.
There are always testimony when you take DR RORPOPOR ON RUclips natural remedies 😊 give it a chance and testify.......🎉
I love watching your channel and it has helped me big time to have a RUclipsr I follow who I trust
I've had excellent results with minoxidil, which is pretty darn cheap these days. And for the women out there using 5%, it's recommended to use only once a day for women, but twice a day for men...so always buy the one labeled for men! It's sold by monthly supply, so there's twice the product in the one labeled for men. Also, I did use the 5% twice a day initially and no matter how careful I was to only get it on my scalp, I got an increase in body and facial hair. Using it only once a day lessened this side effect, but gives me great results. I just wouldn't mess with any of the things here (and certainly wouldn't spend $1,300 for that helmet thing!) without trying minoxidil first.
You cannot grow much additional hair below the line of occipital bone. The OB is the bone protrusion in the back of your head. If you make an imaginary line following the protrusion line around the whole head, that is the line of demarcation. If you see most very bald men, they have a lot of hair below that line. Generally, for women, unless you have alopecia areata or are on medical treatment for cancer, you will not lose much hair below that line. Some people will from age and for some reason, nothing works in that area to regrow or redeem the density of hair you had when you were young. Androgenic alopecia, and most times, telegenic effluvium, mostly concentrates on the front, crown, hairline and sides of the hair. On many people, the hair loss will concentrate on the crown, front, temples and only one side of your head.
Im so happy to finally see someone with the exact balding I have. Been losing my hair since i was a teenager I am now 25 and still trying different things. Definately getting one of these red light hats and using rosemary/peppermint by mielle. Thank you for your videos you have made me feel so much better. You are also very pretty and intelligent so grateful that you are on youtube helping other people like us with this very common issue. 🙏🏽❤️
You're so honest with your reviews and experience with products. I love youuuuu and thank you so much
I’m happy for you new hair growth! I actually have noticed your hairline the last few videos you’ve posted. I have personally struggled myself with hair loss.
I have the irestore helmet and I would do two sessions. One on top of my head and then pull all my hair up on top of my head and place the helmet on the back of my head.
AHH U NOTICED ME I could cry lols 🥹🥹 But really thank you so much for sharing your own experience and for being here!
I've had hair loss for a long time in my early 20s. Dermatologists I've seen mainly say it's probably genetics and there's nothing to be done (other health issues are treated and balanced). I want to try the iRestore helmet for all the reasons Cassandra listed but the price is an issue... seeing someone else it works for may push me over the edge for buying.
I seriously appreciate you sharing your hairloss journey!!!
I have hairmax and it’s also red light and laser. It’s cheaper but u do need to move it every 30 seconds so it covers all the scalp because it’s like a thick hairband 😅
Your makeup, hair, outfit and everything looks so good in this video!
You're So sweet! Thank you for the love!
I loveeee the humour in your videos and you look so pretty with your curly hair
as someone with pcos, ive been patiently waiting for this for this video to compare it with my treatments and see what your recommendations would be. :)
Don't listen to a word in this video dude. She didn't even mention minoxidil! 🙄 minoxidil and spironolactone are the mvps for hormonal hair loss. Get your thyroid levels checked if you can and haven't already. All this shit she's promoting here is straight up snake oil.
you seem so happy in this video! this is my favorite video of yours
My hair is down to my waist.. inky list salicylic scalp exfoliate, the ordinary peptide hair serum and RICE WATER are great for me... I use biosilk hydrating shampoo and conditioner when I wash .. the basic rice water for 15 minutes before I wash and condition is the most amazing thing for my hair.
Can you please explain the rice water?
@@CarmenxSullivan How do you use the rice water? Thank you. Dose your hair grow faster?
The timing is impeccable!!
I lost a ton due to postpartum hair loss around 8ish months ago... it's coming back, but not as full as I'd like. Definitely going to try these... thank you.
Merry Christmas!!💗
Saw palmetto!! 🧘♀️
Just wanted to share something I learned recently: pregnancy actually pushes more hairs into growth and maintenance phases so during pregnancy many of us experience great hair and growth, but after pregnancy the hair goes back into shedding. That’s why many of us experience “postpartum hair loss”. What you’re experiencing is apparently very normal. Some food for thought. ❤️
@@PurplePandaPete I've known quite a few women to give birth recently and the hair loss is more excessive than before they got pregnant making balding more noticeable and evident. I'm pregnant now and my mother keeps telling me to expect intense balding for a while after I give birth (as she experienced intense postpartum hair loss). It is a thing, and it can be overwhelming.
@@chypearce8457 get blood work ran after pregnancy. OBs do not know much about the nutrients and minerals we need. We lose so much blood our iron levels plummet. Then when breastfeeding that can take even more nutrients our body needs. Sometimes a prenatal is not enough.
@@chypearce8457 Get blood work done after you have the baby. OBs do not test our blood after child birth. We become severely deficient in the trace minerals, vitamins our bodies need. If your ferritin levels dropped below 80, you can experience hair loss. Low vitamin D can cause it too.
Function of beauty reversed my hair loss completely and I can't be without it! I literally notice a difference within a few weeks if I stop using it.
I had to cut my hair shorter because my hair was thinning and falling out. It was the ssri's I was on that caused it. Luckily, I was able to get off and not need to be on them. Now I'm about to start oral minoxidil.
I don’t take SSRIs, but I take Depakote and Klonipin (anti seizure meds) and they are known for hair loss. HOWEVER, I have taken them for twenty-five years before this started, so I have also gone to a short haircut, so at least my brush doesn’t make me feel so defeated. we are attributing it to menopause and heredity.
Awh i feel like you just look prettier and prettier as time goes on which i didnt think was even more possible pretty lady. Ur skin looks fantastic! Thank you cruelty free friend for ur help❤️
I appreciate this video and this comment section as I have lost half of my hair in the last two years. I went and got scalp treatments at the Blow Me Away salon in Los Angeles and as enjoyable as they were I didn’t see an improvement in hair growth. What was helpful about them was the scalp camera/microscope that showed me the condition of my scalp going in and after months of fasting and changing my diet I started seeing new growth. Unfortunately as soon as I started eating unhealthy again and fasting less often I started to lose my hair again. I have had two people tell me that the red light helmets helped them so that may be my next move.
How long were your fasting windows? Did you do OMAD/IF, or extended fasting for days at a time? I practice OMAD but have been considering an extended fast for optimal cell purging. I'm curious about your personal experience... hope you see this 😀
