      I can't use oils on my scalp cuz I have dandruff, even though I would love to. But since I can't, I use rosemary water after every shower. And I apply an enough amount of coconut oil on my lengths everyday.

    As a hairstylist of almost a few years, I can share with you you, that you're not intended to apply harsh shampoo on your hair.
    I have observed hairlines of numerous people, and I spotted that individuals who were using strong shampoos generally had weak hairline.
    So I suggest only to use natural shampoo only. I myself use and advise to apply litttleextra coconioon shampoo only.
    Also, do warm oil massage twice a week as it boosts circulation and encourages hair growth.

    Wonderful video. I’m a 31 year old guy and beginning to become extremely self conscious about my hair. It was reassuring to learn how many hairs we shed daily. The shedding is definitely more apparent when I shower at night and it’s definitely sucked some joy out of my nightly skincare routine to see hair on my sink etc. Wishing you the best and that I was not on the opposite coast in NYC to be your patient. 😊

    • @inssaf767
      @inssaf767 Год назад +1

      Im not an expert, i learned this when i started my hair journey. If you have oily scalp or you have dandruff, there is nothing bad about using a sulfate shampoo. In fact, you should opt for it to get a clean and non itchy scalp. Im not saying sulfate gets rid of dandruff tho. But if you have dry scalp, and the sulfate shampoo dries it out even more (cuz it depends on the person plus the sulfate percentage in shampoos is very little and regulated), u can opt for a sulfate free one. In all cases, just make sure to not compromise a clean scalp. A dirty scalp can lead to hairfall. For an oily scalp, the sulfate will do more good than bad. When it comes to the silicone conditioner, it's not bad to use it on the hair especially amodimethicone, but make sure the conditioner isn't loaded with many silicones cuz it can weigh down the hair on the long-term, even if it makes it super soft and shiny for the time being.

      You might want to go to your doctor and get a blood test to check your vitamin d levels. I'm definitely not a dermatologist, but I have heard a lot of people say they have the same issues with their hair as you and that the culprit was being vitamin d deficient.

      I'm on fanestaride and the prescription shampoo that starts with a "K" and it's not helping its been months and the shedding stopped but 4 some reason it's shedding again while still being treated so I'm assuming it's stress. It can b a lot of things hair sheds too much about 3 to 6 months after what ur body may think of as a traumatic event like any kind of stress to the body or mind like child birth , stressful things if one's life , exercise believe it or not.... what ever stresses that may b in ur life may b causing it.. I'm in the same boat as u.. but also ur age and generics play a key factor aswell.. I also lost about 60% of my hair too started like 3 yrs ago.. so I was put on Propecia but it didn't grow any hair back and now it's shedding again so it's time to see a dermatologist.. if u have dandruff of any kind like me n ur scratching alot ur hair may fall out in the places that's affected.. my hair still is growing fast it's always been long but thinner then ever..

    It’s so great to have an actual dermatologist speaking on issues normally addressed by “beauty gurus” who gather their information mostly from the internet where others like them write their opinions that are often not grounded in science. And then poor consumers, in search of cure for their skin and hair issues, end up wasting so much money grabbing all the lates products recommended by their go-to beauty guru (who probably got their video sponsored by the brand they recommended). Anyway, all of that is to say: thank you for doing this work. I love it that you always underscore that everyone’s skin and hair is different and requires “trial and error” approach to find the right products/routines.

Just ordered nanoxidil to see if it provides same benefit while giving my scalp a rest from minoxidil.
