For everyone who has hair shedding problem more than 8 months please do these all blood tests: Vitamin D, Zink, Iron, Feritin deficiency, Androgen, Testostron, Progesterone, Prolactin and Thyroid hormones. And do sonography to make sure you're not suffering from Pcos or Pcod; If all of these blood tests were OK, you still may need to do scalp biopsy to find out if it is Femail Pattern Hair loss or Chronic TE. And remember that if you have stress, your shedding would not stop even if you have no problem.
Your comment is on point and it’s most helpful 👍🏼 I lost a ton of hair for many years due to iron, vit D deficiency I didn’t know until I did a blood test. It took me almost two years to recover. I’m in my mid 40s and my hair is thinning again however I don’t have any deficiencies but I’m constantly stressed out so I’m sure it has to do with stress.
Thank you so much for making these videos, I’m currently going through this so when I’m feeling extra stressed it’s so nice to be able to put on these videos and feel there is a community I can be with
Maybe I am biased because I watched you and handled my TE the same way, but THANK YOU so much for sticking to your original game plan of happy & healthy. It’s so accurate and so hard to attain. But so freaking worth it. Eating the best you can, mindful activities, staying active, self-care, and reducing stress are the only ways to treat the core issue. Honestly, I just feel like life in general is the trigger! We ignore our health and well-being way too much while masking it with drugs. Minoxidil isn’t healthy and will likely only perpetuate the core issue. Organic and natural is always best. Simplicity is the goal it seems. I’m just glad that you are putting the best message out there 😊 Thanks for the update video, beautiful mama!
I’ve had three episodes, all with different degrees of severity. Also the regrowth thickness has been different on all occasions, the only thing that has been the same is the time it takes to fully grow back, the ends of my hair will feel fine for ages... I would say it takes at least a year. When TE is happening I seem to suffer with much more frizziness, and damage. And certainly have an achy, burning scalp. I personally found collagen helps. I’m sure biotin can help however i don’t take it regularly enough to see a difference. Also I’ve found brushing my scalp helps stimulate blood flow to my scalp and hair follicles which in turn helps with hair growth. I could talk about this topic for hours. I really love your videos. I hope you and your baba are doing well xx
I started losing my hair and my major shed is now over but i still lose a decent amt of strands every time I wasn't my hair ,how do ik how much is normal 😢
After quitting birth control and going through a stressful even my hair started falling out and my doctor thinks it's TE, but unfortunately it's been two years and I still have it and I've lost 60% if my hair. It sucks so much and I just want my hair back! I used to always have my hair down but now I always have to hide it in a bun 😭
I have TE following a fracture of my pelvis and this channel has been so very helpful to me.I wear ladies’ turbans held on by jewel clips which do look pretty and make me feel better.
I’m so thankful I found your videos almost immediately when my hair started falling out. Mine happened after having covid + pneumonia. I was really, really sick and about two-ish months after having it my hair was falling out like crazy: maybe 1,000 strands a day sometimes, like actual chunks. I was lucky enough to have found your videos and a great dermatologist over telemed who totally agreed that it was 99% likely to be TE and it should start growing back. I never got to get bloodwork because I was stuck in the south where the virus was horrible, now I’m waiting for insurance, but in the mean time I listened to you saying to just Get Over It. I let it fall out, made sure to eat well (couldn’t eat for two weeks with covid), and washed my hair normally. I lost about 50 to 60% of my hair, started taking biotin for one month, and am still on prenatal vitamins. It’s been about two or three months but it’s already starting to grow back. I’m so lucky I found your channel!! I really, truly believe I didn’t lose my mind (and maybe even more hair) from watching your videos. So thank you and I’m happy to see you back!💜 Also, you look amazing!! Congrats on the little one coming🥰 Also, my scalp WAS itchy, tender, and burned a little sometimes. And def dandruff. I used Nizoral + Head and Shoulders sometimes and a moisturizing conditioner. ANDDD (lol sorry, but just in case it helps others), I stayed away from using midoxinil (?) like you said, even though it was offered by multiple doctors, but I’m happy I didn’t.
MedusA A I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through a lot and on your second round of TE. I am the exact same as you. My hair is a huge part of my identity. It’s like that for a lot of women, and people, and why it sucks so much for it to fall out. I knew I just had to get over it because there was nothing I could do and I was already stressed. It was falling out from the major stress I had been through, and stress I was under dealing with all I’d been through. I don’t know about you, but sometimes, especially as I’ve gotten older, I get into these anxiety/stress periods that are NOT healthy. Like I can tell I am in fight or flight constantly and not handling situations well. I knew that was part of it, how I dealt with my stress, and I knew it was something I needed to start getting control over to get better. Believe me. It’s been hard. My hair is still super thin. It’s only just started growing back a bit, and not all over. It’s like random strands here and there. I still feel self conscious going out. In fact, I pretty much don’t! I just know I need to remain calm, treat my body well, and that’s all I can do. I take prenatal vitamins everyday. I just do what I can. Hope you feel better soon💜
You are an inspiration. I feel more motivated on taking proper solutions for hair growth. My crown is current shining out and I’ve been freaking out. Seeing your hair improve each video gives me hope. 👏🏽
It’s so relieving to learn about your journey, Lauren. I’m most bothered by the fact that no single Dermatologist so far confirmed the relation between scalp itchiness and hair shedding during TE. In fact, they all have even disapproved it! However, it is good to know that so many people who have actually gone through this share their experience that others can also relate 😌
Congratulations, Lauren! You look absolutely beautiful, so exciting! I was SO happy to find your videos when I went through TE. My hair went from being the worst it ever was to the best it ever was when I got pregnant. I couldn't get over how I would brush it and basically nothing would come out! I did have crazy fall out again with PP hair loss, but it's not so stressful knowing that it's very normal. I still lose a lot more hair than I used to before I ever had before TE but honestly, I don't really give it a second thought anymore. TE taught me that I'm stronger than I give myself credit for, and the constant changes with my hair now are because my body did something incredible and literally grew and birthed a human. I wouldn't change it!
I am 16 and have had so much shedding for the last few months! I wish I had found this channel sooner... For ages I thought it was due to some sort of defficiency (probably iron) but now it seems so obvious that it's because of stress! (Any other GCSEs 2020 ppl can relate :')). Starting a new school as a teenager with hair falling without stressing seems pretty impossible at the moment but this gives me hope that it will grow back if I stop thinking about it! thank you.
I turn 20 in a few months and am going through the same thing! I thought my shedding was from an iron deficiency too before I pin pointed it to stress. With everything going on with covid it’s hard to stay positive. I hope your hair is doing better now, good luck!
Same here.. I'm currently 19 and here in my country this is the season of exams to join colleges and this stress and anxiety issues are the reasons for my T.E ...
I wish I had found this channel sooner! After having worked three jobs during the pandemic, it all finally caught up to me and my hair’s been falling so much I thought for sure I was going bald. After watching most of your videos and comparing your journey to my own, I think it may be TE and I’m glad it’s temporary. You’ve inspired me to make better choices not just for my hair but for my health in general.
While pregnant your hair fall, even normal hair fall, stops. I think the come away from all this is to try and not stress, take good care of your body the way God intended for us to. I have experienced TE many times throughout my life without knowing this was even going on. Now that I know about TE, unfortunately after getting Covid, I will work hard to just take care of myself and let things I can not change not affect me as I did before. TE will linger as long as you stress.
actually I believed my hair started to fall out a few months ago but I could only noticed my hair became thin just in August. I straightly went to consult a dermatologist who said I had androgenic alopecia and prescribed me with 5% minoxidil. I only used the minoxidil for 2 weeks because it made my scalp really oily & uncomfortable with more dandruff. Since then hair shredding has been getting serious, I now lose more than 300 strands of hair each day. I panic and am in extreme anxiety... cannot sleep at all and browsed the internet for hair loss information non-stop during day time... However, my gut feeling tells me that there is something else that caused my hair shredding, so I consulted another GP last week and on contrary to the first doctor, this GP was pretty sure that I am having TE and asked me to take a blood test just in case there was other underlying issue. He said he would not recommend the use of minoxidil. He said my hair would grow back. I was skeptical at first on my hair will eventually grow back but I am so glad that I come across your channel. Your videos give me a better insight of what i've been through so far this year. I had a colonoscopy in March under general anaesthesia, later I was on diet, continuous feel very stressful during the pandemic and political instability in my hometown, on top of that, I was diagnosed with depression before and I know I get worried and anxious very easily. I am pretty sure this series of stressful events definitely trigger TE. Although I am still trying the "get-over-it" phase and still panic 24 hours a day about my hair loss, deep down I believe I will become positive and patience day by day. Thanks so much for sharing with us your valuable advice and experience, Lauren, Also, Congrats on your pregnancy! You look fabulous !
@@2005mythless luckily my hair shredding has been reducing gradually to less than 100 strands a day. My uninformed opinion is that the two-week-usage of minoxidil in Aug worsened the shredding and also the peak has passed. Now, I will fully focus on hair growth.
@@puredapoison isn't it crazy how derms automatically jump the gun to anrogenic alopecia? I hope you see recovery soon! did the derm just look at your scalp for a five seconds and come up with that? lol it happens alot
@@2005mythless I am taking hair growth supplements but It's only been one month so it's hard to tell the efficacy. I have also tried different kinds of shampoo to ease my itchy scalp, still no luck though. Anyway, I quit using conditioner which previously caused so much hair loss. Have you done any blood work? It's better to know what causes your hair loss first. Good luck!
Thank you for making this! I am experiencing TE for the second time after having Covid. (The first time I had TE was at the beginning of 2020 after an extremely bad case of the flu. ) although this time something that happened to me as well is beau’s lines on my nails. At least I think that’s what they’re called. Basically it’s where the cycle of your mail growth gets interrupted. When I noticed that, I had a sinking feeling I may experience TE again and I was right :( however this time around since I know what I am dealing with and I truly believe my hair will stop shedding and go back to normal, I don’t feel nearly as upset even though it’s still quite distressing. Your videos helped me so much the first time and they are helping me again! ❤️
Thanks Lauren (and congratulations!). I'm so grateful for your videos. One positive I've found from TE is that the hair I have left is getting sooooo long and healthy from how many vitamins and supplements I'm taking, and how gentle I'm being with it. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this positive side effect?! Silver linings...
Thank you. I was poisoned by Lithium (that I was taking for my Bipolar1) and was in a coma for a week in February, and exactly 3months later, which is now, I am having heavy shedding. You give me hope! Thanks again. I will see a doctor for some blood tests, and just to have some anxiety relief. P.S. your baby is darling, I peeked over on IG 😊
watching this as my hair is shedding. my hair sheds really bad! my reason is an eating disorder.. i had an eating disorder from june 2020 to mid october 2020... i only started noticing bad hair loss about 2 weeks ago.. i’m one month into recovery and my hair loss is realllyyyy bad!! i’m eating good and taking many vitamins (collagen, hair skin & nails, vitamin c, and a multi-vitamin) your videos are giving me hope but i am still really worried about my hair!
here i am 7 months later … my hair stopped falling out 2 months after it started .. now about a week ago it started shedding badly again :(( i have no clue why either!! its not nearly as bad as it used to be but its still shedding more then its supposed to.. i lose most of it right after i wash my hair :(( when does it ever stop
You look beautiful and your hair looks so healthy and shiny! This video means the world to me! You answered all of my questions about it instead of going to google. In the next video can you please do a before and after hair picture 🥺❤️🙏🏽 Love you!
Thank you so much for the video. We truly missed you. And congratulations in advance for the new born. The video was really helpful. i'm still in light shed/regrowth phase but trying my best to keep positive. Do keep us updated when you can really nice to hear from you.
Thank you so much for all your videos ! I had no idea what to do when my TE started. Found you on RUclips .My reaction to my TE was like your blog post to a T. The looking at people with thick hair on TV, the lack of confidence, the anxiety about going out , feeling like everyone sees my hair loss ,the nightly crying to family and friends for way longer than necessary... etc. When I read it it made me feel less horrible. Still working through it but this gives me hope it’ll grow back .
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's always useful to have more information and referents of people that are going through hair loss. The sense of community is very valuable when facing this.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I had a bad bout of Covid and I'm shedding so much hair at the moment. You are giving me hope.
Do telogen effluvium return back? I had TE 2.5 years back and then shedding stopped and now I am experiencing again too much hair loss, 😭 please help I can't even imagine going through that phase again
Yup mine happened because of COVID. Make sense the timing and the way it’s falling out it’s exactly the same way you’re describing it. I did get blood work done and everything came out normal
Can you please tell me what is like for telogen effluvium ending was it decrease in shedding fllowed by increase in some days untill tapper off or was it only decrease until it stops
Hope to hear from you! Love your channel. My derm said that TE was due to stress and it will stop falling out once my body stops feeling the stress. Did you do anything to help your stress which led your hairloss to stop?
you mentioned some regrowth loss is normal, how much regrowth did you lose? I've noticed a good number of my small/short strands and baby hairs are falling out
iam confused that wether i can oil or not if im using hairloss lotion he prescribed to use daily iam really confused and the other thing im medical student i have no time to give my self what to do plz
Thank for the videos Lauren!! Couple of questions: How long did you feel your scalp/hair was going thru this, from start to finish? And did you experience flaking or dandruff thru it all or at some point during TE? Thank you bunches again! :)
Hey loren ..im teenager 19 years old im from pakistan i have no any disease no any stress i have just lost my weight in great amount within 4 or 5 months i though .... And from that day i started having hairfall but i though it is normal i changed my shampo conditioner but it keep on enhancing ... and from january to this day of march im having severe hairloss i feel like i have lost almost part of my hairs....i went to my dermatoglosit twice in once he gave me capilum shampo than in next time he gave me novaphane capsules and novapahne lotion for hairs ...but im insecure and unaware what to do i have never faced such torririble situation before
Hey Lauren, I was wondering if you remember how long you stressed for whilst you were shedding?😅 Because I did something similar where I stressed over the hair shedding after realising it was shedding but I finally stopped a few weeks ago😭😭😭
I’m nearing 6 months mark and lately have been noticing increased dandruff. I’ve been itching brutally since shedding started. I can’t believe there is no promising cure at least for the scalp sensation.
It happens in TE or any form of hair shedding to have oily or itchy scalp and dandruff. Just use an anti dandruff shampoo and apple cider vinagar every once a while.
Lauren, I understand it’s been quite a few years since you overcame your TE journey. I will be ,however, grateful of you if you could elaborate on your itching experience. My frustration comes from Derms being clueless while it appears to be a very common symptom during excess hair shedding. How sever was your itching? Did it at all interfere with your sleep or daily activities or was it rather intermittent? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
I wouldn't say that my itching was so severe that it hindered sleep or daily activities. It was only slightly worse than regular dandruff or dry scalp itching. Hope this helps - best of luck!!
CK M Oh I see! It must have been folliculitis then. I think my condition is different. The Derms I saw diagnosed me with mild Seborrheic Dermatitis. However, since the itch feels dreadful, I’m inclined to believe that it’s just beyond mild! Lol Also I never had considerable itchiness on the scalp until the shedding onset. So there might be a correlation there too.
Hi Lauren, I hope you will reply to me. I have a lot of regrowth but still shedding very slowly now and I can't find anywhere online if your head itches with the new regrowth coming in, mine has been shedding for 10 months now. Thanks for posting your video x
Lauren I am suffering with Te from 1 and half month .trigger is my weight loss. Hairs that are falling has white bulb at the end plz tell whether the hair will grow back or not plzzzz
I'm currently going through T.E myself. My dermatologist said that a white bulb at the end of the hair was part of T.E. I do have some regrowth but shedding is still present. It just takes time.
@@harithareddykankara1657 I have been shedding hair for 8 months. I hoped that it would have stopped at 6 months but it didn't. I did notice less shedding this month. I do see a lot of regrowth.
Hi!..it has been almost more than a year since i was diagnosed with TE but up until now im still shedding a lot😢(i can see my scalp on the topmost part of my head)..do u think this is still TE or am i facing another hair problem?...Thanks in advance for your help!
They can be so thin and some of them can be thicker.but most of them are thin and as they grow, some of them shed and the others become thicker. I wish I could help you with my own experience.
For everyone who has hair shedding problem more than 8 months please do these all blood tests: Vitamin D, Zink, Iron, Feritin deficiency, Androgen, Testostron, Progesterone, Prolactin and Thyroid hormones.

When I noticed that, I had a sinking feeling I may experience TE again and I was right :( however this time around since I know what I am dealing with and I truly believe my hair will stop shedding and go back to normal, I don’t feel nearly as upset even though it’s still quite distressing. Your videos helped me so much the first time and they are helping me again! ❤️
Hey Lauren! Wish u allllll the best with the pregnancy ❤️ God bless you and keep you and favor u!
Thanks Lauren (and congratulations!). I'm so grateful for your videos. One positive I've found from TE is that the hair I have left is getting sooooo long and healthy from how many vitamins and supplements I'm taking, and how gentle I'm being with it. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this positive side effect?! Silver linings...
Thank you. I was poisoned by Lithium (that I was taking for my Bipolar1) and was in a coma for a week in February, and exactly 3months later, which is now, I am having heavy shedding. You give me hope! Thanks again. I will see a doctor for some blood tests, and just to have some anxiety relief.
P.S. your baby is darling, I peeked over on IG 😊
Hows your shedding now?
@@meganwalsh7135how's your shedding now??
watching this as my hair is shedding. my hair sheds really bad! my reason is an eating disorder.. i had an eating disorder from june 2020 to mid october 2020... i only started noticing bad hair loss about 2 weeks ago.. i’m one month into recovery and my hair loss is realllyyyy bad!! i’m eating good and taking many vitamins (collagen, hair skin & nails, vitamin c, and a multi-vitamin) your videos are giving me hope but i am still really worried about my hair!
I hope things get better for you soon! Just hang in there, it just takes time but sounds like you are on a really good track!
Same trigger, same timing. So stressful and mentally tiring..but let's stay positive and let's trust the process.
here i am 7 months later … my hair stopped falling out 2 months after it started .. now about a week ago it started shedding badly again :(( i have no clue why either!! its not nearly as bad as it used to be but its still shedding more then its supposed to.. i lose most of it right after i wash my hair :(( when does it ever stop
You look beautiful and your hair looks so healthy and shiny! This video means the world to me! You answered all of my questions about it instead of going to google. In the next video can you please do a before and after hair picture 🥺❤️🙏🏽 Love you!
Thank you so much for the video. We truly missed you. And congratulations in advance for the new born. The video was really helpful. i'm still in light shed/regrowth phase but trying my best to keep positive. Do keep us updated when you can really nice to hear from you.
How is the light shedding? How many hairs is considered light shedding
Thank you so much for all your videos ! I had no idea what to do when my TE started. Found you on RUclips .My reaction to my TE was like your blog post to a T. The looking at people with thick hair on TV, the lack of confidence, the anxiety about going out , feeling like everyone sees my hair loss ,the nightly crying to family and friends for way longer than necessary... etc. When I read it it made me feel less horrible. Still working through it but this gives me hope it’ll grow back .
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's always useful to have more information and referents of people that are going through hair loss. The sense of community is very valuable when facing this.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I had a bad bout of Covid and I'm shedding so much hair at the moment. You are giving me hope.
Do telogen effluvium return back? I had TE 2.5 years back and then shedding stopped and now I am experiencing again too much hair loss, 😭 please help I can't even imagine going through that phase again
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Wish you the best!

Yup mine happened because of COVID. Make sense the timing and the way it’s falling out it’s exactly the same way you’re describing it. I did get blood work done and everything came out normal
Hey how are you now?
Can you please tell me what is like for telogen effluvium ending was it decrease in shedding fllowed by increase in some days untill tapper off or was it only decrease until it stops
yes to the supplement video!
Plz can you tell me what is the supplement in video 🙏🏻
Hope to hear from you! Love your channel. My derm said that TE was due to stress and it will stop falling out once my body stops feeling the stress. Did you do anything to help your stress which led your hairloss to stop?
you mentioned some regrowth loss is normal, how much regrowth did you lose? I've noticed a good number of my small/short strands and baby hairs are falling out
Me too!
That's normal
did ur hair got any better?
iam confused that wether i can oil or not if im using hairloss lotion he prescribed to use daily iam really confused and the other thing im medical student i have no time to give my self what to do plz
THANK YOU. I LOSE SO MUCH IF I BRUSH IT WHEN ITS WET AND I NEED TO STOP.
Thank for the videos Lauren!!
Couple of questions: How long did you feel your scalp/hair was going thru this, from start to finish?
And did you experience flaking or dandruff thru it all or at some point during TE?
Thank you bunches again! :)
Hey loren ..im teenager 19 years old im from pakistan i have no any disease no any stress i have just lost my weight in great amount within 4 or 5 months i though .... And from that day i started having hairfall but i though it is normal i changed my shampo conditioner but it keep on enhancing ... and from january to this day of march im having severe hairloss i feel like i have lost almost part of my hairs....i went to my dermatoglosit twice in once he gave me capilum shampo than in next time he gave me novaphane capsules and novapahne lotion for hairs ...but im insecure and unaware what to do i have never faced such torririble situation before
Very interesting! It's good to have resources and stories so that each person can choose what they feel is best for them. Thanks for sharing yours.
Hey Lauren, I was wondering if you remember how long you stressed for whilst you were shedding?😅 Because I did something similar where I stressed over the hair shedding after realising it was shedding but I finally stopped a few weeks ago😭😭😭
Hi can i ask what is the difference between TE and AGA ? Bcs my derm hardly explained. Thanx
does shedding get better then get worse for a bit?
Did you ever consider using Rogaine? My Dermatologist just put me in on it for my TE and I’m a little hesitant.
How much time till ur hair came back to its normal density after normalizing your situation
8 months after the shedding stops
@@FunnyVideos-nj2np how much time from the start of shading till the time they stop
Why does the regrowth fall out! Took me months to grow one inch and now its falling out! Super annoying.
Did you also faced the problem of extreme dandruff during your t.e ?? And how many hair fall is normal after recovering from t.e ?? Please reply.
I’m nearing 6 months mark and lately have been noticing increased dandruff. I’ve been itching brutally since shedding started. I can’t believe there is no promising cure at least for the scalp sensation.
It happens in TE or any form of hair shedding to have oily or itchy scalp and dandruff. Just use an anti dandruff shampoo and apple cider vinagar every once a while.
Congratulations on your sweet baby, thank you for sharing about hair loss 💕
can you plz tell me how the hair regrowth look like? cz im noticing a little bit
plz answer me it will be a big honor for me plz plz plz.
Hey, is it just me or do we lose more hair during that time of the month?
Yes I am facing 150 strands of hairloss per day
Lauren, I understand it’s been quite a few years since you overcame your TE journey. I will be ,however, grateful of you if you could elaborate on your itching experience. My frustration comes from Derms being clueless while it appears to be a very common symptom during excess hair shedding. How sever was your itching? Did it at all interfere with your sleep or daily activities or was it rather intermittent? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
I wouldn't say that my itching was so severe that it hindered sleep or daily activities. It was only slightly worse than regular dandruff or dry scalp itching. Hope this helps - best of luck!!
CK M Can you please reference the cream name or the link here?
CK M Got ya! Thanks much. Will ask my PC to order one :)
CK M Oh I see! It must have been folliculitis then. I think my condition is different. The Derms I saw diagnosed me with mild Seborrheic Dermatitis. However, since the itch feels dreadful, I’m inclined to believe that it’s just beyond mild! Lol
Also I never had considerable itchiness on the scalp until the shedding onset. So there might be a correlation there too.
CK M does your Dermatite give your hair lors/TE ?
Thank you Lauren. So informative.
Hey I’ve TE my trigger is a stressful event any help ?
this was incredibly helpful thank you so much!!
Hi Lauren! Can you make an update video any time soon? Thanks :)
Hi Lauren, I hope you will reply to me. I have a lot of regrowth but still shedding very slowly now and I can't find anywhere online if your head itches with the new regrowth coming in, mine has been shedding for 10 months now. Thanks for posting your video x
That's normal.
Lauren I am suffering with Te from 1 and half month .trigger is my weight loss. Hairs that are falling has white bulb at the end plz tell whether the hair will grow back or not plzzzz
I'm currently going through T.E myself. My dermatologist said that a white bulb at the end of the hair was part of T.E. I do have some regrowth but shedding is still present. It just takes time.
@@angietru1911 hair with white bulb will grow back know
@@angietru1911 from how many months you are suffering with te
@@harithareddykankara1657 I have been shedding hair for 8 months. I hoped that it would have stopped at 6 months but it didn't. I did notice less shedding this month. I do see a lot of regrowth.
@@angietru1911 are you using minioxidal or some other medications while te
Thanks so much for your videos. they helped me lot. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Shirley Cruz hey there (: you may want to ask for a hair biopsy, to ensure you get the exact diagnosis. That way you know how to treat the issue ♥️

They can be so thin and some of them can be thicker.but most of them are thin and as they grow, some of them shed and the others become thicker. I wish I could help you with my own experience.
