My personal hair growth success, I myself adhered to this daily regimen: Take morning sunshine every day for vitamin D. Eat vegetables of different colors. Using paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and massaging two times per week with hair oil by litttleextra cooconion. Important to keep in mind that hair growth is influenced by general health as well as circulation and nutrition.
Adding a drop or two of rosemary oil to my shampoo and letting it sit for a couple minutes on my scalp twice a week has been a game changer. Although I'm not quite sure what caused me to lose 1/3 of my hair two years ago (likely hormonal) using rosemary - in addition to tea tree oil to help with oil production - improved my hair count and volume. Go plants!
hello, can you please tell me what kind of rosemary oil you use? and do you add a bit to the whole bottle or to the amount you would use to wash your hair? and what about tea tree oil? thank you

@@MictheVegan Hey Mike you should check out this channel called Anti Vegan. The owner of the channel is this chick that calls herself 'tuesday'.

Time stamps are not bad, but a bit overrated, and often not used by consumers of content that much, if I may speak from my own experience.

Hi, I was in my late fifties and had a Norwood 7 level type of hair loss, meaning slick bald on most of my scalp and diffuse thinning on all the rest of my head. Then about 9 months ago I started daily massaging of my scalp with topical caffeine, peppermint oil and Rosemary oil, as I saw some hair regrowth. But then I started using a Derma roller (at 1.5 mm length) on my scalp as this gave me even greater gains. With in the third month I started using topical finasteride with daily oral minoxidil at 2.5 Mg sublingually and I also started using a laser cap. I now believe that daily Derma rolling or micro needling is a must for the first 5 months when you start out, as I suspect that this must promote growth factors like small amounts of exosomes when you damage your hair follicles through micro needling or Derma rolling. After doing all of these things couple with a whole food plant based diet I have transitioned from a Norwood 7 to a Norwood 5 level. Which means I've got a nice amount of hair regrowth on my scalp and these new hairs are darker. Most people who are a Norwood 7 will not see any if little hair regrowth even if they are on the most aggressive forms of treatments. As I believe it's a whole food plant based diet that helped me be a better responder to all of this. Believe in yourself and you can do this, Garrick Quinones
@@guille8756 I do use RU58841 intermittently and for those that don't know it's an experimental nonsteroidal anti-androgen drug that's applied topically. That stops DHT right at the hair follicle. I also started using topical Dutasteride twice a month now.
@@cdtpal3061 You definitely can, but the speed and amount of hair regrowth will be limited to small thin vellus hairs.

One of my concerns with oral drugs is how it will affect your gut biome in the long run as it pertains to our health.
From what I've read about the rice water ferment, it's the inositol fraction that stimulates hair follicles? Inositol is water soluble, part of the B vitamin complex, and has also been used to combat some of the side effects of PCOS, of which male pattern alopecia is one. I would stay clear of rice bran oil, bc that's where the arsenic that rice preferentially absorbs is found, and being an oil, would not contain inositol. Just my two cents... 🌱
Out here in Indonesia it’s candlenut oil+coconut oil to make our hair nice & lush. Aloe vera on the other has been used for years on our heads for growing hair. It works like a charm. I put some fresh aloe gel on my scalp during my chemotherapy and i didn’t lose as much hair as when i didn’t put any.

Mic, I don’t know about hair loss but wanted to mention that using “The Daily Dozen” vegan food guide along with some daily exercise has helped me lose quit a bit of weight in a rather short period of time. I don’t have an exact figure but it is maybe 20 pounds or more in about 2 months. Still have at least 10 more to lose and am being quite regimented in meeting the Daily Dozen goals which makes it PRACTICAL to be a Vegan. Thanks for your videos!
I took a one year holiday. Did some casual work to make some coin to support my holiday, lived in another country, away from everything I know, didn't have a phone, no internet connection, and focused on doing the stuff I enjoy doing... when I came back, my best friend was immediately surprised, my thinning hair had all grown back. Then I went back to the daily grind etc. of this life, and slowly it thinned out again. I never felt like I had any stress, but when on holiday a number of months is, I just felt SO relaxed and like so much stress that I didn't know was there just lifted off of me... I think it was the lack of stress that did it for me after considering all other possibilities.
Thanks for the countinous effort you put into your RUclips videos. I love that you cover such a wide spectrum of topics. I never thought that a random video about hair loss remedies could help me with my latest struggles beeing a vegan. Since I have to deal with some diffuse but persistant health problems (probably stress related), including phases of hair loss, I really questioned my vegan diet lately. As you have perfectly described in your "ex vegan exhale" video the possibility that you are causing your problems yourself by beeing vegan can cause a lot of extra stress. I even tried to incorporate some vegetarian products into my diet. Hated it. Gave up after one week. Just needed a reminder to better rely on facts and science instead of the subjective experience that non-vegans are generally doing better than me health wise (and otherwise). Myself beeing the only vegan I know personally. Oh. My doctor never suggested to change my diet btw... Hope you continue what your doing. ❤
omnivores aren't more healthy, people just don't go around advertising there health problems to everyone. Every aspect of there life worsens over time, not the least of which is poor joint health. Now I'm even seeing people in there late thirties and early forties dying from heart disease. Its sad(Standard American Diet)
Yes let us know how the castor oil works out! I almost bought some recently, I wish I had. Thinning hair from PCOS I’m gonna try plant-based diet too :)
@@3005511 I don't understand how any oil added to shampoo can work. Shampoo is designed to strip oil from your hair and scalp. It makes more sense to add rosemary and castor oil to conditioner.
We have two Rosemary bushes in our garden at home and we have to prune it regularly so my mum read that it helps hair loss so she used it throughout a year and managed to reduce her hair loss significantly that her hairstylist commented her much healthier hair. I’m experiencing some issues with my scalp so I’m gonna try it myself. 🤞🏻
@@jewlstah2010 First we wash Rosemary cuttings and cut them into smaller pieces. After that we submerge them into boiling water and leave them soaking for 24 hours, although I usally do it for just a couple of hours. After soaking we strain the infusion from Rosemary pieces and before using it we heat it up a bit so it’s warm. We use the infusion after washing hair by pouring it gradually onto scalp.
My hair splits less at the ends, since I started using rye flour+water as a shampoo. It removes a lot of the oils, but not all, letting the sebum cover your hair over time. This made my hair thicker and able to cope with the elements. It doesn't look greasy, just shiny and strong. There are many videos on this!
Hey Mic! I just wanted to let you and your audience know, it’s a common misconception that baldness only comes from your mother’s side 0:58 - other factors are also in play. The hereditary factor is slightly more dominant on the mother’s side, but research suggests that men who have a bald father are far more likely to develop male pattern baldness than those who don't. It almost an even split in possibilities- No need to blame just our moms. 😊
Can attest this ia true, everyone on my mothers side has amazing hair, as did I, several years ago. I started losing hair at 23-24 and still ongoing (still no exact reason for this, despite tests).
My grandfather and my ex-husband both grew red beards and/or sideburns. Even though they didn’t have red hair. Neither of them was ever vegetarian or vegan. They both had Celtic ancestry, (Irish/Scottish). I’m sure the trait for the color of their beards came from their Celtic genes.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about dermapen/dermaroller, seems to be a very effective treatment for hair loss and there have been very promising results showed in research.
There is an herb used in India called Neem🌿 It can be gotten online or at brick & mortar stores that specialize in near and far east cuisine. That herb is wonderful as well for hair growth.
There's alot of research on peppermint and menthol, as well. Interestingly enough, menthol used to be a common ingredient in old-fashioned hair tonics. Another good plant ingredient is quinine, which used to be used in Victorian hair tonics, such as Eau de Quinine. It definitely has a stimulating effect on the scalp. Personally, I use Nizoral shampoo and Yanagiya hair tonic, a Japanese hair tonic that has menthol, ginseng, licorice, and several traditional medicine herbs. It seems to have slowed the rate of hair loss quite a bit.
I lost a lot of hair because of stress some years back. I used to treat my hair with henna a lot at the time. It made my hair thicker and fuller. It did eventually grow back, even though the stress never really went away as the situation that had originally caused it never got resolved. Maybe my body just got used to the stress. But the henna did help my hair quite a bit.
By Rosemary what he means is both rosemary extract and rosemary essential oil. I suggest using both if you can on your head as a moisturizer. I dont think eating it or pouring the spice on your head will do as much
I learned about Stinging Nettle Root on one guy's RUclips video and found there were a lot of studies on its effect to DHT. I bought a year's supply and am hoping to see some change.
I need to know how to use these practically like the rosemary extract, I can’t just put any lotion onto my scalp and hair… I want to know how to help myself
I have PCOS, and after taking three cycles 😦 of Acutane for the hormonal acne, I lost a lot of hair. Then after two kids, lost more. I used Minoxidil in a women’s formula and after 3 months, it started to effect my vision. I’ve tried Rosemary and massage, with limited results. Finally started using a product called Vegamour, which stopped any excessive hair loss, and is regrowing hair around my hair line and crown. I’m very happy!
I would also add to get your vitamin levels checks, especially for B12, vitamin D, and iron. thyroid checks are also important if are you having hair loss. keep in mind, losing up to 100-150 hairs a day is considered a normal amount of shedding.
Regarding curcumin -- I find that really interesting. Of all the benefits I've read about it, I'd not heard of it being good for hair growth. I've been taking pure curcumin (not tumeric) for several years; and, I can testify that, for me, it has done zero for my hair. As for rosemary, years ago I read about it, and it was said that treating your hair with it is what works (and at high concentrations), so just washing with it isn't going to do much. It said that for some benefit, though, to use it in a hair rinse after the shampooing, and then to not rinse it off will help. Nice research!
Good God. And with the way his face looks as well? He’s clearly got something going on. He needs to use all the filters like all the other RUclipsrs use!!
Bought the rosemary oil and rice bran oil today! (Anything to keep the hair on my head) I trust Mic and his research. Question/statement: i was going to mix the rosemary oil and rice bran oil and leave it on over night, but not sure about levels/mixing these ingredients.
Heres what i do....in a spray bottle 15 drops rosemary oil 8 drops peppermint oil 8 drops lavender oil ...mix to a sprayable concitencey with pumpkinseed oil...castor oil...olive oil ...and water...be sure to shake every use as oil and water dont mix...apply twice a week for 45 mins or over night..rince shampoo style as usual...a drop of rosemary in your conditioner is great as well.....if u can tolerate it rince hair in cold water it promotes blood flow and closes cuticle for shiner hair...also 3 or 4 times a week gently massage scalp for 10 mins ...
I am currently experimenting with fermented rice water and also turmeric tea, to compare their respective benefits on hair growth. I did have some success with green tea back in the days, but I can’t have it anymore, it prevents me from sleeping… I ‘ll hit you back when I have my results 😉
Me: *stressed about possibly losing hair* *so stressed I actually start losing hair* *gets more stressed!!!* Luckily I was able to get outta that cycle and everything has grown back in thanks god.
My entire family, especially my dad and all grandparents are strongly balding. I don't think with that genetic baggage, any of this would help, but still interesting
Hi Logan, I read that greying & white hair is as a result of copper deficiency. I just read it in, "Dead doctors don't die". Now I am looking for a copper bracelet or copper supplement. Peace, love & health to you.🙏
@@johnthompson16 my current anti-grey hair recipe is one tablespoon of ground black sesame seeds, one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, one teaspoon of Amla powder, one quarter teaspoon of Camu Camu powder, all mixed together and eaten alone at some point in the day between meals.
Thanks. I remember reading some years ago about some promising research in Japan using immature green apple peel. Apparently it contains procyanidin B-2 which may work similarly to ECGC from green tea as they are both plant polyphenols. Apparently zinc is involved too and the largest amount is stored in the prostate gland. Zinc is known to attenuate the effects of 5 alpha reductase. Thanks again, that was very interesting!
I've been using rosemary oil for a few months and my scalp is much less irritated, I assume I'll see the hair benefits once I've been using it long term.
I saved my curly hair with natural ingredients and it took me 3 years. I thought I achieved the perfect curls but at soon as I got back to conventional synthetic products, my curls get worst. So for my personal experience, natural ingredients all the life! Especially if organic. Thanks for the video
I do saw a China woman who has married to a Taiwan guy mentioned about her food recipes for strong hair growth and her staple food ingredients are soybean, groundnuts, black beans, black sesame seeds, red beans...
The algorithm is scary. I never searched for hair loss, yet RUclips has been giving me repeat commercials that at first I thought was perfume but was actually anti hair breaking stuff. Then they recommend me this video out of all the videos you make. Been subscribed for a while but it's been a long time since RUclips really pushed to recommended you to me. I probably said something recently but I honestly can't remember what or when. It's not something I ever talk about. 🤷♀️
There is no vegan collagen. Not as a supplement anyway. There are vegan supps which may promote collagen production in our bodies. But in my opinion, they're not as good.
Super cool information. I make my own solid shampoos and conditioners; swapping out my current oils (jojoba, tea tree, etc.) for other perfectly safe oils like rice bran and rosemary oil, seems at worst harmless, and at best may produce positive side effects to washing your hair.
I make a tea for for other health reasons but one of the ingredients is tumeric powder and I drink it for about a week then take a break and start up again. My wife noticed that the bald spot on my head has more hair. So I may drink my tea more often. It is mainly a detox tea that also boosts metabolism I lost about 10 lbs in a month. Now I am also eating better, less magnesium which I understand can cause hair loss if you have too much of it so always filtered water for drinking and coffee. Very hard water where we live.I also started exercising to keep that weight off.
Only side effect of minoxidil is exactly what comes from his mechanism of action as a vasodilator. It makes you feel like your head flush and swell, but it is manageable if you use the right amount of it and wait a couple weeks.
... the thing is, hair loss is a sign of ageing. And stopping hair loss could also help in a bigger picture with ageing, just a thought, especially because hormones are concerned. There are not many safe hornone controling natural compounds
I've heard that the hair genetics from your mom's father is a myth. I guess you get it from both sides pretty much equally. Would like to know your thoughts!
The problem is that it’s not entirely true, but the maternal genetics can play an amplifying or reducing role, given that it’s a polygenic trait and parts of it can be inherited from both sides with particularly strong/known genes from the mother’s father.
@@machinegunhippy lol so does 'satan' go away when the hair comes back🤭? Also how does that work for Susan Smith or Jodie Arias who OBVIOUSLY accepted 👹when it got rid of its offspring yet STILL full head of hair?
@@machinegunhippy yeah, very scientific. When I accepted Satan I started losing my hair. No joke. So, it's either Satan or the plant-based diet. Christians and carnists know for sure. All based on science.
I lost hair when breast feeding. It grow back when I stopped but my hair is fine. High carb Hannah use to use Jamaican black castor oil. I buy some but never used it. Lol thanks for sharing Mic. Your videos are always interesting.
I'm 56 and from around the age of 33-34 my hair started thinning on the crown of my head. It's about 6cms in diameter. I found the best remedy for this is a cap and apathy. 😂😂😂 The cap is just to prevent sunburn, keep the rain off my glasses and the sun out of my eyes. Apathy about the thin spot is the best solution, though. I shave my head monthly as I can't be bothered with hair these days and don't really care if I go bald!
Have you talked about hair loss as a result of the vegan diet? I've seen a lot of videos of people claiming this is due to a vegan diet. I'd like to learn more about that and get your opinion on this.
I know a couple of people to whom this happened when they went plant based. Their periods stopped as well. I asked what they were eating and lo and behold, they were barely eating any leafy green vegetables, almost no lentils or any other legumes. I was : "well what do you expect??!!" Don't blame that on veganism, but rather on your poor diet!" I used to have more hair loss when I was an omnivore. Ever since I switched to plants, it got better. But I eat tons of leafy green and legumes, as well as seeds and nuts. Last time I did blood work, my iron levels were fine. So....I am not a doctor, but I am just relating things that I saw personally. That's all.
It's easy to assume you won't have all the (potential) side effects of pharmaceuticals by using plants, but that's not true at all. Applying rosemary oil to your scalp can be very irritating (I speak from experience). Pharmaceuticals have had extensive testing, hence them knowing so many possible side effects. The only reason a bunch of stuff like that isn't listed for rosemary etc. is because it hasn't had a bunch of studies on it, and the FDA doesn't require side effects being listed on rosemary plants you see in people's yards or sprigs at the grocery store. I had no benefit with rosemary, clove and lavender using it over a year and eventually switched to minoxidil which worked much better.
It definitely has its place, but within a reference range and it’s unlikely to be necessary in very high concentrations in terms of its downstream impact on localised areas such as the scalp. There are ways to mediate this without going into the realm of outright eliminating DHT conversion from the body.
So funny, someone just commented on a video I recently uploaded "vegan men seem to have better hair than meat eating men." and I replied "probably more genetics" but then I saw this right after that, so I had to link to this video under her comment lol. He does have nice hair though: ruclips.net/video/AwoMDVJTEe0/видео.html

I've tried it too. You're right! It gets silky, clean, shiny, thick, beautiful.
Hey Mic!
I just wanted to let you and your audience know, it’s a common misconception that baldness only comes from your mother’s side 0:58 - other factors are also in play.
The hereditary factor is slightly more dominant on the mother’s side, but research suggests that men who have a bald father are far more likely to develop male pattern baldness than those who don't.
It almost an even split in possibilities-
No need to blame just our moms. 😊
wow #Doctorojie herbs cured my herpes
So glad someone brought this up
Can attest this ia true, everyone on my mothers side has amazing hair, as did I, several years ago. I started losing hair at 23-24 and still ongoing (still no exact reason for this, despite tests).
The inclusivity of the stock footage at 0:27. So much representation.
Makes it look even more fake than your average stock footage.
My grandfather and my ex-husband both grew red beards and/or sideburns. Even though they didn’t have red hair. Neither of them was ever vegetarian or vegan. They both had Celtic ancestry, (Irish/Scottish). I’m sure the trait for the color of their beards came from their Celtic genes.
I'm 20% Scottish and that could be it but also I have heard it can be an Ashkenazi Jew thing and I am 30% that.
My Dad and brother both have red facial hair, and are not red heads, 100% Dutch ancestry.
I'm surprised you didn't talk about dermapen/dermaroller, seems to be a very effective treatment for hair loss and there have been very promising results showed in research.
There is an herb used in India called Neem🌿 It can be gotten online or at brick & mortar stores that specialize in near and far east cuisine. That herb is wonderful as well for hair growth.
There's alot of research on peppermint and menthol, as well. Interestingly enough, menthol used to be a common ingredient in old-fashioned hair tonics.
Another good plant ingredient is quinine, which used to be used in Victorian hair tonics, such as Eau de Quinine. It definitely has a stimulating effect on the scalp.
Personally, I use Nizoral shampoo and Yanagiya hair tonic, a Japanese hair tonic that has menthol, ginseng, licorice, and several traditional medicine herbs. It seems to have slowed the rate of hair loss quite a bit.
I’d love to see your research on the red light therapy hair devices if you were ever to do a follow up on this subject
I think I'll go ferment me some rosemary, curcumin, and saw palmetto, rice water tea... for free, they all grow here!
How do you ferment rice? And the rest?
Hey Mike the saw palmetto extract you're linking has bovine gelatin in it!!
I lost a lot of hair because of stress some years back. I used to treat my hair with henna a lot at the time. It made my hair thicker and fuller.
It did eventually grow back, even though the stress never really went away as the situation that had originally caused it never got resolved. Maybe my body just got used to the stress. But the henna did help my hair quite a bit.
Henna as in dying ur hair ?
Ive found that my hair grew longer, faster and more glossy since I became vegan.
when I became WFPB my hairline grew back in. I have a full head of hair and I am ancient.
I’d be interested to know what you eat in a week.
My partner noticed his hair thinning majorly this week. Just in time. Did the 1st rosemary treatment today!
Did it work? Hope so
Oh god I needed this!!
It’s like you know what I’ve been googling
By Rosemary what he means is both rosemary extract and rosemary essential oil. I suggest using both if you can on your head as a moisturizer. I dont think eating it or pouring the spice on your head will do as much
I learned about Stinging Nettle Root on one guy's RUclips video and found there were a lot of studies on its effect to DHT. I bought a year's supply and am hoping to see some change.
I need to know how to use these practically like the rosemary extract, I can’t just put any lotion onto my scalp and hair… I want to know how to help myself
I have PCOS, and after taking three cycles 😦 of Acutane for the hormonal acne, I lost a lot of hair. Then after two kids, lost more. I used Minoxidil in a women’s formula and after 3 months, it started to effect my vision. I’ve tried Rosemary and massage, with limited results. Finally started using a product called Vegamour, which stopped any excessive hair loss, and is regrowing hair around my hair line and crown. I’m very happy!
I would also add to get your vitamin levels checks, especially for B12, vitamin D, and iron. thyroid checks are also important if are you having hair loss. keep in mind, losing up to 100-150 hairs a day is considered a normal amount of shedding.
Regarding curcumin -- I find that really interesting. Of all the benefits I've read about it, I'd not heard of it being good for hair growth. I've been taking pure curcumin (not tumeric) for several years; and, I can testify that, for me, it has done zero for my hair.
As for rosemary, years ago I read about it, and it was said that treating your hair with it is what works (and at high concentrations), so just washing with it isn't going to do much. It said that for some benefit, though, to use it in a hair rinse after the shampooing, and then to not rinse it off will help.
Nice research!
I wish science would figure out why the hair left my head in my 20s, but started growing on my ears in my late 30s!
I'd still watch you if you were bald, Mic the Vegan.
Good God. And with the way his face looks as well? He’s clearly got something going on. He needs to use all the filters like all the other RUclipsrs use!!
Bought the rosemary oil and rice bran oil today! (Anything to keep the hair on my head) I trust Mic and his research. Question/statement: i was going to mix the rosemary oil and rice bran oil and leave it on over night, but not sure about levels/mixing these ingredients.
Heres what i do....in a spray bottle 15 drops rosemary oil 8 drops peppermint oil 8 drops lavender oil ...mix to a sprayable concitencey with pumpkinseed oil...castor oil...olive oil ...and water...be sure to shake every use as oil and water dont mix...apply twice a week for 45 mins or over night..rince shampoo style as usual...a drop of rosemary in your conditioner is great as well.....if u can tolerate it rince hair in cold water it promotes blood flow and closes cuticle for shiner hair...also 3 or 4 times a week gently massage scalp for 10 mins ...
I am currently experimenting with fermented rice water and also turmeric tea, to compare their respective benefits on hair growth. I did have some success with green tea back in the days, but I can’t have it anymore, it prevents me from sleeping… I ‘ll hit you back when I have my results 😉
how about quercetin ? It has no coffein/tein
Me: *stressed about possibly losing hair*
*so stressed I actually start losing hair*
*gets more stressed!!!*
Luckily I was able to get outta that cycle and everything has grown back in thanks god.
Can you please do a video looking at the evidence of a vegan diet on children? Thank you
My entire family, especially my dad and all grandparents are strongly balding. I don't think with that genetic baggage, any of this would help, but still interesting
Could be that the modern diet just isn’t good for your family’s genetics. Have you tried eating a vastly different diet to your parents?
Now can you do one on how to prevent premature greying of hair? I’ve been consuming black sesame seeds.
Hi Logan, I read that greying & white hair is as a result of copper deficiency. I just read it in, "Dead doctors don't die". Now I
am looking for a copper bracelet or copper supplement. Peace, love & health to you.🙏
@@johnthompson16 my current anti-grey hair recipe is one tablespoon of ground black sesame seeds, one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, one teaspoon of Amla powder, one quarter teaspoon of Camu Camu powder, all mixed together and eaten alone at some point in the day between meals.
nettle root is a great saw palmetto alternative. same benefits without the side effects.
Amazing video as always!
Thanks. I remember reading some years ago about some promising research in Japan using immature green apple peel. Apparently it contains procyanidin B-2 which may work similarly to ECGC from green tea as they are both plant polyphenols. Apparently zinc is involved too and the largest amount is stored in the prostate gland. Zinc is known to attenuate the effects of 5 alpha reductase. Thanks again, that was very interesting!
I've been using rosemary oil for a few months and my scalp is much less irritated, I assume I'll see the hair benefits once I've been using it long term.
Have you discussed this with Dr. Greger?
Thanks for doing your research
I saved my curly hair with natural ingredients and it took me 3 years. I thought I achieved the perfect curls but at soon as I got back to conventional synthetic products, my curls get worst. So for my personal experience, natural ingredients all the life! Especially if organic.
Thanks for the video
Is there any research on reversing hair graying?
My boy at 15:18 went from 26 to 30 strands. Now that is gains.
All I learned from this video is that photos from different angles with different lighting look different and also… Rosemary
I do saw a China woman who has married to a Taiwan guy mentioned about her food recipes for strong hair growth and her staple food ingredients are soybean, groundnuts, black beans, black sesame seeds, red beans...
Hi Mic! Anything on Nettle? I thought it sure be on the list
Rosemary oil, rice bran oil, saw palmetto oil, pink and blue ginger, possibly green tea... use them on your scalp. :)
Coincidentally, I read an article just last night that a topical application of lavender also promotes hair growth.
When I stop consuming all animal foods and started eating more leafy greens and fruits my hair started to grow. 3:34 3:37
The algorithm is scary. I never searched for hair loss, yet RUclips has been giving me repeat commercials that at first I thought was perfume but was actually anti hair breaking stuff. Then they recommend me this video out of all the videos you make. Been subscribed for a while but it's been a long time since RUclips really pushed to recommended you to me.
I probably said something recently but I honestly can't remember what or when. It's not something I ever talk about. 🤷♀️
wow #Doctorojie herbs cured my herpes
Your mobile phone hears all. When my friend and I discussed a topic, then facebook now keep showing me ads about that same topic! ugh
Im on the 1mg finasteride and minoxidil foam and has been working great
Hey would you research vegan collagen vs marine or bovine??? Please?
There is no vegan collagen. Not as a supplement anyway. There are vegan supps which may promote collagen production in our bodies. But in my opinion, they're not as good.
Awesome information, awesome presentation, engaging with a sometimes playful sense of humor-thank you very much for posting-11/10.
Rosemary is a Vasodilator eh? Wonder what else it can vasodilate??? 🤔🤔
Super cool information. I make my own solid shampoos and conditioners; swapping out my current oils (jojoba, tea tree, etc.) for other perfectly safe oils like rice bran and rosemary oil, seems at worst harmless, and at best may produce positive side effects to washing your hair.
anybody else here who had painful/swollen breasts on saw palmetto? i stopped taking it because i got scared. my breasts hurt very bad from it.
I make a tea for for other health reasons but one of the ingredients is tumeric powder and I drink it for about a week then take a break and start up again. My wife noticed that the bald spot on my head has more hair. So I may drink my tea more often. It is mainly a detox tea that also boosts metabolism I lost about 10 lbs in a month. Now I am also eating better, less magnesium which I understand can cause hair loss if you have too much of it so always filtered water for drinking and coffee. Very hard water where we live.I also started exercising to keep that weight off.
Only side effect of minoxidil is exactly what comes from his mechanism of action as a vasodilator. It makes you feel like your head flush and swell, but it is manageable if you use the right amount of it and wait a couple weeks.
What about pumpkin seed oil?
Thanks a lot for the info, that's some really interesting stuff 😊
... the thing is, hair loss is a sign of ageing. And stopping hair loss could also help in a bigger picture with ageing, just a thought, especially because hormones are concerned. There are not many safe hornone controling natural compounds
Huberman mentioned anecdotally that curcumin nuked his dht
I've heard that the hair genetics from your mom's father is a myth. I guess you get it from both sides pretty much equally. Would like to know your thoughts!
It’s a myth. Can from either parent or even both
The problem is that it’s not entirely true, but the maternal genetics can play an amplifying or reducing role, given that it’s a polygenic trait and parts of it can be inherited from both sides with particularly strong/known genes from the mother’s father.
You go bald when you accept Satan... im not kidding
@@machinegunhippy lol so does 'satan' go away when the hair comes back🤭? Also how does that work for Susan Smith or Jodie Arias who OBVIOUSLY accepted 👹when it got rid of its offspring yet STILL full head of hair?
@@machinegunhippy yeah, very scientific. When I accepted Satan I started losing my hair. No joke. So, it's either Satan or the plant-based diet. Christians and carnists know for sure. All based on science.
Hi, Mic. Did you run into how to fix telogen effluvium? It doesn't seem to be "temporary" for me 😔
it's vids like this that show how confidently you speak about topics you have no expertise in
I lost hair when breast feeding. It grow back when I stopped but my hair is fine. High carb Hannah use to use Jamaican black castor oil. I buy some but never used it. Lol thanks for sharing Mic. Your videos are always interesting.
I'm 56 and from around the age of 33-34 my hair started thinning on the crown of my head. It's about 6cms in diameter. I found the best remedy for this is a cap and apathy. 😂😂😂 The cap is just to prevent sunburn, keep the rain off my glasses and the sun out of my eyes. Apathy about the thin spot is the best solution, though. I shave my head monthly as I can't be bothered with hair these days and don't really care if I go bald!
Have you talked about hair loss as a result of the vegan diet? I've seen a lot of videos of people claiming this is due to a vegan diet. I'd like to learn more about that and get your opinion on this.
I know a couple of people to whom this happened when they went plant based. Their periods stopped as well. I asked what they were eating and lo and behold, they were barely eating any leafy green vegetables, almost no lentils or any other legumes. I was : "well what do you expect??!!" Don't blame that on veganism, but rather on your poor diet!" I used to have more hair loss when I was an omnivore. Ever since I switched to plants, it got better. But I eat tons of leafy green and legumes, as well as seeds and nuts. Last time I did blood work, my iron levels were fine. So....I am not a doctor, but I am just relating things that I saw personally. That's all.
@@manon562 exactly!
NAC is a good suppliment for hair loss as well as fighting the symptoms and disease of covid.
Hey Mic! Can you please make a video about mycoprotein and it’s studies?
Hey Mic. Any updates on the tiny house. Been thinking about a similar project. 🤗
I'm 18 and my temples are receding visibly
Thank you!!! Thank you!!! And thank you!! Vegan for 8 years. This is very helpful!!! (I hope!!). Thanks so much!!!
Flouride can be a bitch - so I heard.
Thus, using a water filter machine for Flouride might help.
But, you have to clean the filter machine ALOT!!!!
It's easy to assume you won't have all the (potential) side effects of pharmaceuticals by using plants, but that's not true at all. Applying rosemary oil to your scalp can be very irritating (I speak from experience). Pharmaceuticals have had extensive testing, hence them knowing so many possible side effects. The only reason a bunch of stuff like that isn't listed for rosemary etc. is because it hasn't had a bunch of studies on it, and the FDA doesn't require side effects being listed on rosemary plants you see in people's yards or sprigs at the grocery store. I had no benefit with rosemary, clove and lavender using it over a year and eventually switched to minoxidil which worked much better.
Super interesting thanks for sharing!
DHT is essential for wellbeing and immunity.
It definitely has its place, but within a reference range and it’s unlikely to be necessary in very high concentrations in terms of its downstream impact on localised areas such as the scalp. There are ways to mediate this without going into the realm of outright eliminating DHT conversion from the body.
'that explains the hats' HAHAHA
Kevin Mann has entered the chat.
The OGs will be here if and when you lose your luscious locks!
Is there an annual variation in hair growth anyway? Could that explain a hair growth after 6 months?
Arent baby hairs a sign of new hair growth?
So funny, someone just commented on a video I recently uploaded "vegan men seem to have better hair than meat eating men." and I replied "probably more genetics" but then I saw this right after that, so I had to link to this video under her comment lol. He does have nice hair though: ruclips.net/video/AwoMDVJTEe0/видео.html
I had always the suspicion that animal products are bad for hair and accelerate hair loss.
"Rogaine?" (Got automatically the citizens of Age of Empires I in mind)
I like all your videos, Mike! Did you make any about coffee and matcha? Thank you!
My understanding is anything applied have to be left in for longer that normal “shampooing time”
Rosemary oil seems to have severely cut down on hairs lost on a daily basis.
I have been using a saw palmetto shampoo, and it worked for a little bit. After a few days you need to use it again or your hair goes back to looking super thin.
