    I have alopecia. I am vegan and i dont eat gluten or sugar. I went on an auto immune diet for 4 months. I have a healthy gut. My hair didn't grow back at. I have tried EVERYTHING, when I say EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING!!. So now, all I can do is stand on the word of God for my hair to grow completely back. The word of God says, things that are impossible with man, is possible with God. It is impossible for man to cure in-curable diseases (alopecia, cancer, glaucoma, etc)....but it's NOT impossible for God. If you are like me and you have tried everything to restore your hair, pray and ask God to regrow hair where man says hair will never grow in that area of your scalp again. AMEN!!

      @@iamnilsa Yes. I saw a dermatologist. I have had blood work done. I've checked for vitamin deficiencies. I have had steroid injections years ago when I first detected a bald spot. I've tried every shampoo, vitamin, hair oil, etc. What has happened is the hair that I DO HAVE is growing and it's very healthy, but it's not even enough to catch into a ponytail. The crown is bald. My focus is not on the hair that I have, but the bald areas. I just purchased a laser cap with the red lights inside. Of course I have been told that it is not for scarring alopecia, but I'm willing to try it anyway. The cap was $800. So yes, I have tried everything, literally EVERYTHING. A woman's 👩🏽hair is her 👑 crown and glory 🕊✝️....and I don't believe that God intended for women to be bald. Of course, we have to do our part and take care of our hair. When I was much younger, before internet & RUclips, I didn't take good care of my hair. There was no information like we have today to help guide us in proper hair care. Black women were told that we couldn't have long hair. That was/is a lie, but we didn't know it. Our hair just needs moisture and natural protective styles and it will grow to our butts. Thank you for your RUclips channel. I appreciate you. May God continue to use you to get the message out on how we should pamper and take good care of ourselves and our hair. 💯🤝🏽❤️

      Do you have relatives who also have Alopecia bc it can be inherited? Hair loss can also be caused by hormonal changes due to menopause. If neither applies to you, you may want to consult with a healthcare professional.

    Changing your diet to more whole foods and less processed and drinking water does make a difference. I started taking Hair La Vie vitamins for hair growth, plus doing protective styling that doesn't stress my scalp and edges (crochet twists). I do scalp massages and use hair oils on my scalp. Stress is a huge factor. I noticed that once I started dealing with my stress in a more productuve way ( prayers, journeling, standing up for myself, cutting toxic people out of my life) I felt better and less stressed. I actually started loosing my hair as a result of extreme stress at home and work, but didn't make the connection for years. This is my time for healing.

    I was in a physically, sexually, and financially abusive relationship. My hair started falling out. I lost 50% of all my hair on the right side and 30% on the left side. I became insulin resistant and would regurgitate every time I bent over to pick up something. I escaped 3 months ago and I’m still losing hair. And my scalp hurts from the alopecia. I was diagnosed with Ptsd so it might be hard to get rid of the stress but I will try to take your advice of eating and hair care. See if anything changes.

    I already had a long standing problem with my stomach and gut and have been taking medication for it. Then divorce totally killed my hair and it hasn't grown back at the front so I've shaved it all off. My diet is very good as I cook from fresh. Lots of fresh fish, vegetables and fruit. l don't eat fried food, it upsets my stomach's equilibrium. My advice would be as soon as anyone notices their hair is thinning or even falling out, jump on it with treatments. I just left mine hoping it would grow back on its own but it hasn't.
    Thanks for sharing your story. All the best.

Eventually I went to the Derm, I'm currently using Minoxidil 5% which is helping but extremely slowly. Just today I found a new bald spot. I've been living in hats, beanies, bandanas etc and I am just over it. I've been a natural curly girl for 4 years already but stopped since I started my treatment because I have to apply it 2 daily and to get between them curls is no joke.

    I am here because my 15 year old daughter has hair loss, like almost the entire top of her head is hairless. It began with spots of baldness when she was 14. I think it might be related to puberty. She has always had allergies to dust and certain kinds of fruit make her tongue "tingle" (it is uncomfortable to eat certain things) and also raw carrots. My research says to cut out all dairy products and grains. But it would take at least 3 months to see results. I think covid restrictions, not going to school, has also added to her stress. She does tend also toward "junk" food. Desperate dad here:)

      To those of you that don't know yet, glyphosate is the root cause of most health problems today. Changing diet in my case involved stopping eating foods grown or harvested with glyphosate and other pesticides. It's a very difficult and expensive decision but there is no way I can allow anything to rob me of my health, self esteem and happiness. The scientific world is full of shit and the one lie that I'll never buy from them is that the body attacks itself. Guys, change your diet. Eliminate foods with glyphosate from your diet. Wheat, corn, sugar, canola oil etc. If you must eat those things eat organic ones but stay away from canola oil and olive oils that are not organic. Your gluten and gut issues will disappear. Glyphosate wipes out minerals from the body and interferes with the normal function of many hormones.

This is an excuse and detrimental to your growth. Changing my diet was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I decided that me living a healthy life, without taking meds every day or in pain and being able to raise my kids and see my grandkids one day was more important. I came up with a plan and stuck to it. If I slipped it, I picked up from where I fell off.

    Rosemary is a dht blocker which prevents dht building up on your scalp. It also prevents testosterone from converting into dht . Drinking green tea can prevent testosterone from converting into dht. Once you experience too much and it converts to dht you have hair loss. Signs are thinning around the edges middle of the scalp. Rosemary, is a dht blocker and why it’s commonly used to regrow your hair. Yes guy health as well as colon health with help a lot. Bee propolis stop your body from attacking itself. I hope this helps someone. You can even get fresh rosemary leaves and steep them add drops of essential oil as she suggested ans and use as a rinse.

      Kamaiyahh, I was reading the post and these woman are AWESOME! Your hair isn't worth dying for. We're our own worst enemy. They're spot on concerning your diet. I've dealt with it all to include breast cancer and other surgies. Jesus loves you so much, He died for everyone of us. He's the Ruler of the universe. He's able to more than you can ask or think according to the power that's working in you. Pray and invite into your life that He may come and support with you. Develop a relationship with Him. Allow Him to lead and guide you. He'll stick closer than any friend, brother, sister, or mother. I'm praying that you change your thoughts. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Allow your thoughts to be positive thoughts. I'm praying a great outcome for you. Know that you're special and God has a plan for your life. I'm sorry but it angers me when the devil tries to take a precious life. Your life is more than your hair. I've had 7 surgies. I had a head full of hair. I've dealt with breast cancer and other things they've discussed and more. I'm grateful God spared my life! I don't know you but I love you because you're a precious soul. Blessings to you ma'am. To all of God's beautiful creation. Glad to see the love being shared.

    My edges and the crown of my head have been bald for over 13 years due to several traumatic events and severe stress. I’ve done all of the creams, steroid shots, and other toxins with no results. I started changing my eating habits in summer 2017 and stopped all forms of medication, but my stress and anxiety hasn’t changed; and at times cause me to revert back to old eating habits. Shortly before my hair fell out, I was experiencing a lot of gut issues that have persisted over the years, but dramatically improves when I am able to stick to a fruits, nuts and veggies only lifestyle. You have given me so much hope and the confirmation I needed to know that my hair will grow back once I find a sustainable way to handle stress and anxiety 🙏🏾

I watched a bunch of videos and read books to tried a few different things. The two biggest things that has helps me was a vision board and every time I think the worse thing is going to happen, I think the best possible thing will happen. It tricks your brain lol. I do believe once you have more control over your mind, your diet will be so much easier. ❤️

I was wondering why this was happening, until a co-worker told me the other side effects of taking that medication. I stopped taking it, and told my doctor, and was put on something else.

    I experienced bald spots and thinning hair with clumps coming out as well...Going to just say I never found out of it was alopecia or the overprocessing of my hair with a perm...What I do know is that I was in tears and didn't want any steroid shots to my scalp because the thought itself is terrifying...I cried every time I had to flush the biggest of balls of hair down the toilet so one day I just did the big chop...Last year around March I must say...This hurt but what choice did I have...Haven't permed my hair since and have been doing so since my childhood and my hair was thick and long so yeah...I was hurt...My hair was so brittle and dry that it wouldn't even hold any product...It was like my hair swallowed the gel and spray to try and wear any updo styles or ponytails so that let me know I had to start over...So what I did was being that my hair was dry my focus was to maintain moisture...So I did my research and found our about different oils and their uses...Found out that you have your moisturizing oils and your sealants...So after the big chop I maintained my hair with Jamaican black castor oil on my scalp and ends and also used a little tea tree oil or and peppermint oil for moisture so I'd have my moisturizing oils and sealants all in there together and I'd finish it all off with a leave in conditioner or an leave in deep conditioner...Even while wearing braids atleast once a week I'd maintain my scalp with the JBC infused with my Sulfur 8 hair grease then I'd go along the shaft of my box braids with peppermint oil to ensure that my real hair was being moisturized while being braided because...yeah...I missed my hair...So long story short my hair has made a tremendous comeback...Bald spots and all and very thick...
    I use shampoos that moisturizes and fight damage/hair repair but most importantly remember while using these different oils on your hair that a clarifying shampoo is very important to use once a month to clean away all of the oils from your hair and scalp because in order for your hair to grow it's important that the follicles are clean...Using a clarifying shampoo frequently will strip your hair so once a month is all that's needed...Hope this helps someone too...There's a routine for us all so find one that will work for you...When there's a will there's a way...
    After my big chop the front 9f my "bang" barely came over a third of an inch of my forehead but now it reaches a little past the top of my nose...Never will I ever take my hair for granted again and also thinking about staying natural...It's been almost a year without any chemicals...

      If you are stressing, try some stress relief techniques to help. You may need to tweak your diet and/or hair care routine too. You should definitely double check with a dermatologist to make sure it's alopecia areata.

    MANY women have lost their edges due too hair weaves, frontals, perms, glue an tight braids. All these things permanently damage the hair follicles.

    • @iamnilsa
      @iamnilsa  3 года назад +4

      Yes, many women have lost their edges. However, when it comes to weaves, frontals, perms, tight braids, etc, that pull, burn, and/or consistently rub against the perimeter of the hair, this loss is called traction alopecia. I did make a video that gives a few differences between the two. I do agree, traction alopecia can lead to permanent damage.

    Thank you so much for this, I am currently dealing with this, mines is pretty bad and I've decided not to do anymore injections and refused to take the harsh medications. I've recently removed meat from my diet with the exception of seafood, I am trying to eat more grains, fruits and fresh veggies. The difficulty is removing the dairy but I'm just trying to figure this thing out naturally. I've also noticed when I'm stressed my spots get bigger. Right now my crown is basically gone, there are some follicles but there is also scarred tissue. I will try these oils and get better with my hair massages. It is currently hard to style my hair so banana clips are my best friend. I appreciate videos like this.

    This give me hope because I have been dealing with alopecia areata as well.

It's demoralizing not going to lie, and I'm trying to have hope and motivation about this situation and I think your video gave me hope. I use essential oils and sulfur 8 and doo gro and just hoping for the best. I also think another underrated part of alopecia areata is worrying about your hair and how it look. So I just have to not worry about that and just let the oils and products do their part. But for anyone dealing with this issue, it's hard and it can reck your confidence but have to have hope and it will get better.

      5. No gluten (I have a gluten intolerance)
      6. Eat mostly fruits, veggies, nuts, and grains
      Please keep in mind that it depends on your body and what’s causing your acid reflux. The best way is to eliminate the items I stated. However, if you want to consume those things, try incorporating one thing a week back into your diet to see what may trigger the reflux. I’m not a doctor, so it’s always best to consult with one too.

      Sometimes we think our health issues aren't related, but they could be effecting each other somehow. I had sinus infections that caused problems with TMJ lol. I would suggest eating more than one meal to make sure you are getting important nutrients needed for a healthy immune system. This is important in fighting alopecia areata. Maybe three meals a day, but they can be small portions if you don't feel very hungry. I do have another video with detailed information on foods that help fight with alopecia areata, so check that out. Also, read the ingredients in your supplements and look them up individually. This way you can know exactly if it is beneficial for your hair growth. Hope this helps!

    About 2 years ago, my hair started to fall out every time I combed my hair. It got worse every day, I wouldn't comb my hair anymore and I was in a panic. My Dermatologist prescribed Dutasteride 0.5 mg. She told me that the hair I lost would not grow back. Been on those pills for a little over one year. My hair loss has slowed down some. I want the hair I loosed to grow back. If I have to leave my house, I wear a head cover. I'm a white women and hate my hair now. I asked my Dermatologist if there is something else I could use to make my hair grow back, like some kind of shampoo or oil. She told me no. I will never grow my loosed hair back. Sugar is not at fault here. I seldom eat sweet things. I read the comments first, and someone mentioned Turmeric. That is very expensive.I never seen Turmeric in our local stores. Yes, you can buy it online, but the price is outrages. I'm actually afraid to try anything else on my hair. I need some advise from someone who had professional advise and it worked.

      Say some more about that, please. Why do you think your clients would cringe when you brought up that topic? Do you see any visible connection between the condition of clients' hair or scalp and their attitudes about a diet-centered kind of hair care?

      @@DesperadoJux Hello there, there is absolutely a connection between the two. As a service provider, it has become apparent to me that the greater majority would prefer the ability to see amazing results where their natural hair is concerned without having to make any personal adjustments to their lifestyle. Diet is certainly one of those connections that clients may already know as a variable in their lack of hair/scalp health and actively choose to ignore simply because it requires a bit more effort. Even more than effort the assumption that they'd have to give up some of their favorite foods and beverages in exchange for more hydrating and nutritional options can be unattractive to some. Truthfully, we've been given all we need to achieve optimum health.

      What are you referring to specifically?

    I agree with the stress level and health being a major factor in how our bodies react as a whole. My hair fell out in patches and I blamed myself for wearing braids and relaxers. I have been under stress and didn't realize it was stress. I felt this is the way life should be. Now I am learning differently that I don't have to be at every event or trying to please others. I am learning to relax more and take care of me. Thank you for this information. It has helped me to realize I am headed in the right direction. I didn't want to use medicines either for my alopecia. Thank you again.
