I began using lityleextra reactivate hair growth serum which has rosemary because my hair was quickly falling out due to stress and other factors. I had been simply looking for anything at all to try, so this was suggested, so I went for it. In a few days, I myself noticed noticeably less hair loss when I comb my hair. I also noticed where I initiated getting patches of loss, there was new growth. It actually irritate my skin a bit right near the forehead hairline, so I apply a band to prevent it from running down whilst also keeping the head tilted back during application. The irritation vanished and did not returned, so if your skin is sensitive or simply to be careful, I recommend a hairband to avoid it from running down to your skin. On the whole, I'm so satisfied with this serum and will carry on to use.
I have been using using this hair serum of reactivate...happy to say that it worked and increased my hair growth
My hair growth is increasing following each couple of weeks. I just use reactivaate serum currently and do cocooniooon oil hair massage once a week.
Top tips for healthy nails please!! Such a fan of ur informative and what I eat in a day videos😍
I have had hair loss issues for years. Serum ferritin was low, so I supplement iron now. Topical care had successful results, especially pyrthrione zinc shampoo by vanicream, used as a 15 min mask with 5 drops of organic peppermint oil. Still, I was shocked when I added enough whey protein and at least 2 eggs a day to bring my grams of protein up from average of 50gm a day to over 100 gm a day (after learning aging women need to increase to 1 gm per pound of body weight my diet to fight sarcopenia). My hair is growing in thick and stronger than ever! I wish the doctors I consulted had recommended trying a moderately high protein diet. Thanks for mentioning it! It’s more important than I ever realized :)
PRP, at home microneedling & a minoxidil solution are my go-to’s. Thanks for the tips Dr E!
Rosemary oil absolutely transformed my hair. I had significant hair thinning to the point where my scalp was showing and now I have the thickest hair I have ever had in my life. Even though rosemary oil is not studied very significantly yet, I HIGHLY recommend people use it twice a week for several months. I PROMISE it will work wonders. To convince people of my hair journey I took photos before and after and whenever I get the chance I show them to people to prove that it works. I have spent hundreds and hundreds on Minoxidil without seeing any results. Started using rosemary oil twice a week and now have the thickest hair I have ever had in my entire life.
Hi! What brand?
@@evaollie9208 Mielle organics
How do you use the oil?
@@monab9080 tnx🥰
@@Sophiasebok I slather it on and really rub it on my scalp usually the day before hair wash day. So two to three times a week depending on how my schedule is for the week. If you can do it only once a week then I would suggest just put the oil on after you wake in the morning and at the end of the day wash your hair
I'm seriously in love with this video
Love the information and the practicality of it♥️♥️♥️
I purchased the irestore and didn't like the indented forehead that lasted for up to 6 hours. So I attempted to return it. They REALLY don't want you to return it! First if you return it BEFORE 12 months you must pay shipping. The box is large and it was over 50.00.
2nd 18% restocking fee.
3rd if anything is wrong with it you pay an additional 18% so 36% plus return shipping!! I didn't have to pay that but seriously! Buyer beware
I agree with you. They make it really difficult to return. I ultimately returned mine too because I didn’t think I was seeing benefits beyond all the other products I use.
One note I will make about the head indention for those who may experience it but want to keep their unit, iRestore has smaller bumpers that you can replace. This helped me a ton with the indentation left after using the unit with the original bumpers (it became uncomfortable until I changed to the smaller bumpers). I reached out to them and told them about the issue and they sent me the smaller bumpers for free (but I ultimately paid dearly for them when I returned the product).
@@chadwasdin3695 I also didn't think it addressed the sides of my head much. More on top.
What do you mean by indented forehead? I’m asking because I have recently received mine and I am not sure I use it properly, lol. I have used it twice and I did not find any disconfort. It came with 2 silicone pads already attached to the device, in the back area, like at the back of your scalp and one silicone pad detached that you were supposed to put in the front area of the device, so I think.
I did not attached that third pad, I used it as it came, and it matched my head fine lol.
I wonder now if I should have put that extra pad also, so the laser holes don’t come so close to the head or the pads are just for confort purposes?
Thank you.
I had a similar problem. Then I looked at it and realized that front piece will easily come out. Just push it gently from side to side while pulling on it. Voila no more indentation. I am having no problem with it now.
That means I am using mine correctly, I am already using it without the front pad because it was already off and it fits perfectly without it.
I'm a person who hardly ever uses any heating tools on my hair not even a blow dryer. I do have a tendency to put my wet hair in a bun using a silicone hair tie. I am looking into purchasing satin hair ties. My hair sheds but very minimally for my age (I'm 46). I contribute my hair growth to genetics as well as using collagen peptide powder, black seed oil, probiotics, and clean eating habits. I do have a persistent itchy scalp in certain areas and have started incorporating jojoba oil (on scalp & ends of hair). Jojoba oil has a multitude of benefits for hair, skin, nails.. While Olaplex is a great product, I've used several times it can get expensive. There are less expensive ways to address problems that aren't severe with time and consistency.
You look like a princess dr Ellis! Love your channel.
Super helpful video! Would love if you could do a video specific about curly hair care.
Loved this video! Can you do a video on the effects that hair dye has on your hair? And how to safely get hair dyed without excessive damage?
Being a hairdresser of almost a decade, I can tell you, that you're not intended to use strong shampoo on your hair.
I've noticed hairlines of many individuals, and I spotted that people who were using strong shampoo cleansers generally had thin hairline.
So I recommend only to use mild shampoo only. I personally use and advise to use littleextrra cocconioon shampoo only.
Also, do hot oil massage two times a week as it enhances circulation and encourages healthy hair growth.
How to do hot oil massage? And what kind of oil do you use?
Hi Dr. Ellis! I have a question for you in re: to this video! Does minoxidil have to be applied on clean hair? In the directions it says to do so, but at the same time, you mentioned in this video that you don't want to over wash you hair. Thank you!! I love your content! :) A great suggestion for a video would be minoxidil dos/donts and the correct way to apply it!
Post menopausal, both parents genetics, thyroid disease, I’ve lost hair. I saw on a beauty Facebook group a woman grew hair had to take her hair extensions out from taking herb capsules of Red Clover- I’ve been taking and am growing fine hair. Slow going but I’ll take it!
Love your channel! Can you do a video on cleaning makeup brushes/ sponges . How often and how to?!
So informative! Thank you❤️
I had had enough of hair loss after having delayed any treatment for a full decade. Started finasteride oral (alternate days) on prescription + minoxidil topical every night and in just 3 months, the top scalp bald area is almost covered already and small hairs are seen now near temple area. Hair loss sucks.
Nutrifol contains Saw Palmetto which my GP told me could interact with birth control pills, so I would ask your doctor about it before taking it! I just wanted to point that out as I was advised to talk it from a derm PA without any warning about this
You deserve far more followers
Thank you for this video! I just ordered a bunch of your product recommendations.
Would love to know how they worked for you ❤
I use Aveda color conserve shampoo and damage remedy every-other day. I also use the Pureology detangler afterwards - it works great when brushing out my waist-length hair. I go to an Aveda salon every three weeks for a tint touch-up to remain blond, and mostly let my hair air dry except for my scalp - it's gets too flat against my head otherwise. I get a dusting of a trim every three months - take loads of vitamins everyday, including biotin, eat a VERY balanced, healthy diet, and exercise. A few drops of Moroccan oil spread in my palms and then along my hair keeps it glossy. I only use heated curlers - they're hot enough.
Good information, but a quick note that K18 is a temporary wheat based protein treatment using a peptide to help it reform the hair similar to keratin. There is a study from the 90s about cell adhesion with wheat proteins that they based the Khairpep brand on, aka k18.
I was freaking out as my hair was thinning daily. My doctor told me about this red light therapy panel from Future Form Official. I’ve been using it for a few months now and, wow, what a difference! The panel is surprisingly affordable, which is a bonus. It slowed down my hair loss, and I’m spotting new baby hairs. I stick to the recommended routine, and I’m optimistic that in a month or two, I’ll see even more progress. There’s a ton of scientific research backing red light therapy for hair growth, so thanks to everyone here for sharing your tips and experiences.
Nizoral is fabulous. First thing that worked.
I have tried all of the treatments you recommended but saw the best results with PRP and weekly dermarolling. I take oral minoxidil and didn't see significant change over 8 months and then did 3 sessions of PRP n it's been a game changer.
Do you have to do regular maintenance sessions for prp?
@@safa1012 not done those yet. Just been derma rolling and that's enough too
What is PRP?
Prp didn’t help me at all
I've been using the iRestore since May and am seeing a lot of new hair growth. It did increase my shedding, but the shedding has slowed. I'm also using Viviscal, The Ordinary hair peptide serum, and a shampoo and conditioner with rice water. Trying to hit this from as many angles as possible!
Kitsch has a great hair wrap that is a microfiber towel wrapped in satin. It has really cut down on frizz.
Hi Tanya what do You think helped more, the ordinary serum or the irestore?
@@safa1012 I've used Irestore for almost 1 year and it didn't make ANY change in my scalp fullness. And their support team was a bit pushy trying to make me keep it for another year for free instead of me returning it lol. I bought it after watching another board certified dermatologist's video reviewing it. Used it every other day like suggested but saw no difference. I suggest you do a more deep research before buying it. There's so many people like me who used it for a while and had no results at all.
Would love an update on how this is going!!
$400 discount?! That’s actually pretty amazing
Great tip about not keeping hair wet for too long. I have sebhorreic dermatitis and it definitely feels less itchy when my scalp is dried relatively quickly.
Same!
Do you mean like drying it soon? Because I always leave it to dry naturally
@@hyunjin7447 for me, in the summer it dries fast and doesn’t cause a problem, but in the winter it stays wet longer and then I get itchy.
I go too sleep with wet hair but realize from your video that I should dry it. Thankyou.
I do take a vitamin supplement
I sleep on a silk pillow case I also sleep in a silk bonnet I’d highly recommend adding the bonnet has helped a lot! And I love the SEEN heat protectant
I’ve been wanting to try a bonnet!
@@DrSamEllis I got my silk bonnet from lily silk really good quality I’ve had it for 2 years and has held up well when I wash my silk items I just put them in a delicates bag :)
Hi Sam, great informative video, thanks! Regarding minoxidil, I’ve had horrible headaches using it, which caused me to stop. I tried to alternate and use only every other day or even every 3 days, but I felt it did something weird to my head / eyes. What’s the reaseach behind the irestore helmet and hair growth? Thank you!
I just ordered I Restore Professional! My hair started thinning a year ago, and I take Viviscal Pro and use minoxidil 5%. I hesitated ordering I Restore because I couldn’t understand how it could penetrate hair and reach the scalp! Love all your videos! Enjoy your son!
Did you see improvement?
Did you see improvement?
I just ordered it a few weeks ago and delayed using it until after vacation.
Thank you for sharing with us!! GOD BLESS! 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕 that shampoo you recommended for dandruff FINALLY cleared my head of itchy dandruff!! Took about a month tho but thank youuu!!
And we have to use silicones in our products!! My Derm educated me that it’s great for coating and protecting the hair and preventing breakage. (And it’s not even bad for the skin in moderation!!!)
I have male pattern baldness and successfully treat it and have a full head of hair using daily 1.25mg of finasteride, 5% minoxidil foam, 2x week Nizoral shampoo leave on (15 mins) and wash. I also monthly leave 2% salicylic acid shampoo on for a few hours to exfoliate my scalp. It leaves some flakes for a few days. My question is, does exfoliating one's scalp help with minoxidil and Nizoral penetration or otherwise help prevent male pattern baldness?
So helpful thank you ✨✨
I would like to see further studies on these laser treatments such as do they trigger/cause any atypical moles or other lesions, or possibly accelerate any predispositions to such.
You can google the research. They have been used for years, just now becoming popular with anti-aging and hair regrowth.
Nutrafol worked for me. I recently added their collagen product and that was a great addition. My hair and nails are super strong.
I'm 55 and went thru major hair loss from I believe medication...I had long this hair...it was devastating. I stopped all meds. I've been taking nutrofol balance for 6 weeks with the collegen and hairbiotic....plus I got hairmax band because that help me prior to the recent hair loss....my hair seems to have stopped overall shedding...I hope the nutrofol helps....
I also use virtue flourish density booster (non minoxidil version). Never used the band. I hope it all works. It may take 3-4 months to see a difference. My nails were the first to show improvement.
Amazing and great video, Thank you : )
Thank you so much for this video
Thanks Dr. Ellis 🤍
Loved this
looking forward to more haircare videos!! there are so few haircare videos from board certified dermatologists online:(
Dr Dray
Similar to a question below Can I use minoxidol in the morning? as well as Virtue in combination with the Ordinary hair peptides in the evening? (I also use a red laser light comb from HairMax.) Is this too much? Thank you. I really appreciate and enjoy your channel.
I started to use rosemary oil deluted in some other oils and it has worked wonders on my head. My hair thinned a lot after a chronic illness and is now almost back to normal :D
The iRestore is an amazing product and totally works. My only concern is the fact that I have Lichen Planopilaris and when I talk to my doctor about this device, they don't know anything about it and whether it is safe to use? I like it but wondering if you have any thoughts? Thank you for creating wonderful content and super helpful information.
You can buy rosemary oil at GNC, just put a drop in your shampoo. Careful, too much may cause irritation or rash.
Hard water is an issue, especially living in a major city. What I have been doing to combat the noticeable damage are 2 things: 1) wash out shampoo with only distilled water; and 2) once a week use an apple cider vinegar/distilled water rinse. On a daily basis I massage my scalp for about 5 minutes with a hand-held scalp massager. Since I suffer from a bad case of psoriasis, inclusive of the scalp, my shampoo selections are limited to conventional treatments (i.e., zinc, coal tar, ketoconazole, etc.). Any suggestions, feel free to comment, Dr. Ellis
thanks sm for uploading this🤍
I have mine freshly arrived, I have used it twice already, I hope it works. I am also taking oral minoxidil, 5 mg finasteride and 50 mg bicalutamide per day.
Oh, and I’m using The Ordinary serum for hair density as well. :D
I have all my weapons engaged in the battle.
Thank you for the video on hair.
Love it! Tackling hair loss from all angles is the way to go strong 💪🏼
Surface awaking system is amazing!!!!
Please clarify the difference between fine hair (skinnier individual hairs) and thinning hair (fewer hairs) and respective treatments.
I've started taking amino acids in tablet form and biotin and that has helped my hair growth and scalp hair density a little. I also use a silk pillow and try to use silk scrunchies. I also watch the ingredients in shampoos and avoid sulphates and other harsh detergents and ingredients.
What amino acids do you take?
Do you have before and after photos? Will other laser hair devices work? The virtue product is out of stock unfortunately. Thanks.
Hi, Dr. Ellis, could you recommend what is the best for dry, peeling nails. Lately, my nails have been breaking down very low, (could be menopause 🙄) not sure..... 😭
The K-18 has indeed been great for my hair!~
Can you discuss you stance on 5% over 2% … as a master cosmetologist I’ve always been taught to not allow women to apply 5% minoxidil
Hi is nizoral shampoo safe? Does it interact with any medication's? Thanks so much!
Love your videos
Two questions: could you comment on whether using dry shampoo between washes is helpful or harmful?
And do you have any thoughts about Vegemour serums?
I think its neither harmful or healthy, I use dryshampoo in the morning on my washday, then I will wash my hair in the evening. I don‘t sleep with dryshampoo on
It doesn't really wash hairsso..
Hello, thank you for your videos. I am very worried about my scalp. Thanks for your tips. Can you tell what I have. My dermatologist said it was hormonal. I am going through menopause. Is there a special way to treat this type of hair, loss, and scalp health?
Olaplex shampoo and conditioner has really helped my hair. It has thickened and become healthier.
Thanks for the shoutout! 🫶♥️🥰
Following childbirth, I noticed my hairfall but I remained calm. I acted to remedy it. I opted for a health-centered approach.
I prioritized my nutrition, having nutrient-rich foods, especially rich in Folic Acid and Protein.
I exercised daily and practiced meditation for stress control.
I avoided tight hairstyles and stopped using heated styling tools to minimise hair stress.
I even started applying LittleExtrra Coconion hair oil and shampoo along with a neem wood comb.
The result was hairfall control and the return of my hair.
What are your usual go-to for foods rich in folic acid and protein?
Same thing happened now with me
I used cocoonion kit by litleextra and it worked really very well in reducing my hair fall.
have you done a video on how to treat puffy skin? my face and eyes can get super swollen and i was wondering if you had any tips for treatment and prevention:)
Hello Dr. Ellis, thank you for this video. I have thyroid problems and of course this affects my hair. I've always had thick curly hair but for me personally a course of Liquid Biotin really makes a difference. Lisa, Galway, Ireland
Question regarding minoxidil and sebhorric dermatitis: I have been taking prescribed topical medication for the dermatitis, and my scalp cooled down from red to a faint pink in some areas. Is minoxidil safe for such post-treated scalps? I don't know if such scalps can be as normal as a regular scalp. :/
I would love to know if there is anything that can be done for nail onycholosis? I have had this for 10 years and a derm told me there was nothing I could do except cut my nails short.
How often do you recommend washing your hair??
I used virtue but heard they have silicones in their products, is that true, I love the density booster though. I also use the Michael Van Clarke steps. UV shampoo/conditioner because I colour my hair and great in the summer months, the life saver on towel dried hair to nourish/detangle, then his thicker quicker on the roots and mousse on mids to ends, my hair has been fabulous. I also use a silk pillow and aquis hair towel. My hair is still fine but I know it’s condition is good. I do love your videos and instagram though Sam 👏🏻👏🏻
Dr. Ellis, is it safe for your baby to look up at the laser lights?
I have another brand, and it came with warning to never look directly at the laser lights. Maybe they were just being overcautious or the lasers are different.
Does the Virture product have a fragrance? Thanks for all your input!!
Thank you for recommending Virtue with no minoxidil. I tried minoxidil previously, and it caused me to gain weight rapidly. As soon as I stopped it, the weight came off.
What 😱didn’t know it can cause weight gain
@@sherihiralal3852 yes, it caused weight gain for me. I gained 5 pounds in a short period of time and noticed severe bloating. This all came about without change to my diet or exercise routine. I read up on minoxidil, as it was the only new product I was using, and I read it can cause weight gain. I stopped using the product, and I returned to my normal self. My husband also was using a product with minoxidil, and the exact thing happened to him. Maybe we are the severe cases that experience that as a side effect.
Also would greatly appreciate a daily makeup video if anything since the last video has been updated🥲
If one washes their hair every other day like I currently do, is it safe to blow dry on my hair wash days or should I do an every other schedule with blow drying as well?
What about the side effects from using products like Rogaine specifically cardiac??
What do you think about the irestore thickening shampoo and conditioner or do you prefer the Virtue products?
Hello Dr. Ellis Which device from irestore do you use? Essential or professional?
I've made my own rosemary oil and my own rice conditioner people love how soft and luxurious my hair is, my issue is I don't see a lot of hair coming back. Been to a salon and they've said they do see growth.
I'll comment more later.
How do you make the rice conditioner?
Can you use hair regrow the products together? Is so, are their complimentary products?
Love Virtue but had to give it away because the lavender made my scalp go crazy.
All these products are great BUT what if you have fragrance allergy which , which most of these contain. I use clobetasol solution occasionally for severe itching.(mainly after coloring)
Do you believe that in or out of shower scalp/shampoo massagers work for possible hair regrowth? Would love to hear your input on this!
Can you use the k18 and olaplex no3 together?
Am currently using K18 and it’s not enough to help my hair as it’s been very damaged.
I was thinking of adding the olaplex shampoo and no 3 along with the k18.
Is that a good idea if anyone knows about hair? (Am currently using kerastase shampoo)
do you recommend High Frequency wands like the NuDerma? I’m debating on purchasing one but I wanted an opinion from a professional lol
Hello !!!! Can you recommend any night serum or product line for my hair? It is very fragile and breaks soon after it grows🙏🙏🙏🙏
I play with my hair all throughout the day. I do it without thinking about it. I was hoping it smoothed the cuticle and NOT that it causes friction! I am trying to have super healthy hair. I’m not sure I want to stop this habit but it does give me pause.
I've been using a mix of rosemary oil, jojoba oil, and castor oil before I get in the shower, I leave it in for a good amount of time and massaging it into my scalp, mind you I bleached my hair a year ago and lost most of it. It was so bad. Now I have healthy longer hair and was able to get it cut for the first time in forever. I gained 6 inches from April - Sept. My hair does not normally grow that fast bc it was severely damaged (even before then it didn't grow that fast) be consistent I've done it at least twice a week bc I only wash my hair three times a week at most, it doesn't get too greasy until like day 3-4. Please do yourself a favor and use rosemary, castor and jojoba oil. A good post shower hair routine is good too. I use a leave in conditioner, air dry creme and the olaplex bonding oil mixed with a tiny bit of jojoba and my hair has never been softer and healthy. I've been doing this since April and the growth even after the haircut is insane
Do you need to have a break from olaplex or can you use it all the time?
Can you do a deep dive video on low-dose oral minoxidil in combination with spironolactone for alopecia? It’s been all over the news, including the NYT.
The discount code is not working. That's a bummer, I have been wanting this product
That virtue product is a godsend. I would encourage anyone who uses it but notices no change in hair shedding in the beginning (like me) to wait it out. I’ve noticed that virtue has two major effects - making my hair grow longer and reducing hair loss. For me at least my hair grew noticeably longer at the start of treatment while the “normal” hair shedding continued for a couple weeks. After that... 🤩🥳🥰
So great to hear your experience with the product. I’ve been super happy with it too.
hi, what do you think about using minoxidil while having a cat at home? i heard its dedly for them but i really want a proffesionals opinion
I was wondering if the sauna may cause heat damage to the hair? Or cause any thinning?
I'm curious how one can talk about being happy or content with a specific product if they've been using more than one way to address their problem. E.g. if you've been using some topical cream as well as laser therapy, how do you separate their effects or attribute the results to the product or procedure separately?
Just tried ordering and that code is not valid ☹️unless it’s just for the professional, which you didn’t specify.
I wonder what your opinion is your opinion of the theradome compared to the I restore?
would you recommend heat protectant on super hot/high uv days ?
Thank you for all of this valuable information! Why can’t women reportedly use topical minoxidil while breastfeeding? Not surprisingly there is conflicted information out there. I would appreciate your help clarifying this!
