If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Kouras. I started cutting my own hair when I was 13, back in 2008. This was during the Windows 99 era-dial-up internet, when RUclips was a dating site, and the global economy got slapped. Hard. Because of it, my mom lost her job for nearly three years, and during that time, my dad had to support her, me, and my two brothers all on his own.
I started cutting my hair as a way to help my family save money because I was tired of hearing my parents argue about finances and wanted to do something to make things easier for them. After getting a few bad haircuts at Supercuts, I knew this was the best way I could help.
With that being said, this channel does not do my past any justice. I wish I could have recorded my first handful of self-haircuts so you could see just how garbage they were. I got made fun of a lot because of it in middle school-even by some of the moms from the kids on my soccer team! Rightfully so... They were pretty bad.
Now, over 15 years later, I share content that teaches millions of people every month in more than 165 countries how to save time and money by mastering self-haircuts from the comfort of your own home. It’s not a hard skill to learn, but like anything in life, if you make it a priority and stay committed, you can succeed without letting the tough times make you quit.
I had every reason to quit when I got started. No money. No mentor. No RUclips. No clippers, only a $20 Remington beard trimmer. I was literally just a little kid who cared way more about my family's well-being than any bit of harsh criticism I could get as a result. Times have changed since 2008 and you now have an opportunity of a lifetime with my channel.
Please know, I’m here to help you on your self-haircut journey in any way I can. Self-haircuts are fun, an awesome skill to have, and the best way to avoid ever paying for a barber again!
The Free Self-Haircuts For Life Club is calling your name! What are you waiting for? Get started today!

I have a question tho what about us asians most of our meals are with rice and so the question is that can i eat rice even a little or does it really need to be gone
@@brumby7645 IKR IM ASAIN AND I HAVE RICE EVERYDAY for breakfast and dinner so idk whst to do
High strength oregano oil helps due to anti fungal properties
If you’re an Indian watching this, come suffer with me, because no rice and no roti? Tf am I supposed to eat? Raw carrots? 😭 (btw oil and GENTLE shampooing really helps, and so does the shampoo he’s using)
True
Yes, rice and roti is daily indian foods🙁
Try besan and other millets
Really, being a hostel student eating at a mess, i am really confused on what to eat other than rice roti daily, can anyone please suggest some good alternatives(including non-veg), as i am always hungry and a i eat a lot, Thanks!
Do not worry bro...yeast is removed from wheat ( roti) we eat whiel fermentation...the yeast is in the breads that we eat..roti is safe
Anyone else lose hair because of seboric dermatitis?? Or is it just me
Yah me too
Me too
they should grow back if it's an area, where the root hasn't been damaged too much
Me too, you are not alone
Just wash often and use anit dandruf shampoo and other shampoo every like other day
Bro you are spot on with this, as soon as I would eat any kind of grains or drink any alcohol my dermatitis would go crazy, and as soon as I stopped it, not only have I lost some weight but it has completely gotten rid of the dermatitis and my confidence is back, keep up the amazing work my guy.
I would suggest to do tests for fungal infections/candida/bacterial infections and liver health.
@iamtylerpepin same here, everytime I would eat large amount of carbs later in the day I could feel sebderm symptoms kicking in. Definitely trying this diet change
Yup me to the moment i eat out refined carbs with my friends i know that i will have tough time when i get home ..
@iamtylerpepin then what do you eat, means if I'm cutting off carbs from my diet, from where will i get the energy (glucose)?
@@jaibhoir1488 Animal fat
Literally stopped eating carbs and starchy foods for 2-3 days after watching this video and my dermatitis is completely gone. So mad at myself for putting that off for so long. I used to be able to eat an abundance amount of carbs when I was a competitive athlete and even after finishing up my athletic career I continued to eat the same amount of carbs and I guess my body couldn’t handle it anymore
New update?
@@amanpro9334 have been limiting carbs, not completely cutting them out, getting my daily workout in, and staying away from the obvious foods/beverages that are no good.
For me personally, things I stay away from that I used to consume daily are coffee creamer, soda, beans, a lot of rice in one sitting.
My dermatitis has still yet to return. I’d say it’s 99% gone. I used to get it all across my hairline, eyebrows, mustache when I grew hair there and I no longer have any of it. It’s winter and it’s cold where I live so the occasional dry skin but no more yellow oily flakes.
@@amanpro9334 I’m kinda at the point where I’m stress testing what my body can consume without getting dermatitis
@@Dispelbtw thanks for the update, i will try this now 🤞 hopefully i reduce mine
@@amanpro9334 I definitely do think breaking a sweat has something to do with it as well. Idk about you but when I had dermatitis and sweat, it used to burn like crazy. Now that it’s gone, it doesn’t burn anymore. I also saw a noticeable difference in my dermatitis around a year ago when I spent a lot of time in natural salt water and it gave me that same burning sensation but overall helped the dermatitis
I’m a patient with severe inherited chronic seborrheic dermatitis, and I was keeping sugar and gluten free diet for 6 months before my scalp got better. I also have a daughter and I noticed that she’s prone to same condition, after she eats bread her scalp gets flaky…. So I’m on my way to get back to my sugar and gluten free diet, because seborrheic dermatitis is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast, and lack of ability to fight this yeast in our immune system. So basically that means you can’t eat anything triggering fungal and yeast growth.
And yes, I’m a sugarholic, I was sugar free for more than one year, I lost 25 kilo, I was training every day even during pregnancy, If I can do it, you can too!
so I am doing research on this, everything has its own counterpart, so f ex if you take too much Vitamin A, you deplete Vitamin D, if you have candida you should consume yeast that controls candida, so what if we just find something that can keep malassezia in balance ? like another type of yeast maybe
can you share your diet? Im a big bread eater, so Idk what to replace it with
I used to get stressed when I had red spots and dandruff. Dercos from Vichy has worked well for the itchiness on my scalp and I also take a caprylic acid pill. I also use coconut oil but MCT, noted the redness goes down in a few hours, I usually hydrate the skin with coconut MCT oil
👏🏽 wow keep at it
Was your condition bad? I planned on doing no sugar for a month to see if I saw any improvements if I did I was going to continue.
I tried just about everything over the years to prevent my dandruff. I had intense red scaly patches and tons of flakes all over my head and beard no matter how much I used shampoo. I changed my diet a few days ago and now I'm completely flake-free. This diet cleared up 100% of my scalp issues that I had for years in a matter of days. Thank you for this video and for solving about 5 years of scalp issues for me!
hello bro , im realllly happy for you bcuz i have this problem and it just destroy my life.... i wanna ask you what did u use wnd how much , also what did u eat and what did u cut
@@samzo3556 yes i'd like to know too if you dont mind sharing
Bro please share deiet
Diet was everything that was mentioned in the video. I had a bad gluten intolerance that caused all my flaking! Two days after cutting out gluten all the dandruff is gone!
@sarahbilovesick3349I’m also curious as a latino rice is a staple food
This man really gave himself a fresh fade.. all by himself?? Respect ✊
That's what I was thinking! 😯
Learn how to cut your own hair! It saves you a lot of money and can be a potential income if you get good at it.
Bro, I came back here just to say THANK YOU that you made this video. I've changed my diet by removing yeast on my diet though not entirely because I can't quit drinking coffee. I'm on my 10th day now and I don't have anymore cysts or bumps on my scalp which are very painful whenever I took a shower and rub my hair. I still have dandruff though but less now and my scalp starts to become clearer and not look scaly anymore. I've been suffering from seboric dermatitis for 10 years. I am going to stick with my current diet now (low carb, no yeast, no processed food, high protein diet) and I'm never going back through that hell again. Thank you bro!
no more cysts or bumps on my scalp as of today while i'm composing this message. i eat carbs again like rice and pasta but in moderation. i don't have anymore dandruff and my scalp is clear as day. i guess that when i committed my diet before by not eating foods that contain yeast or high in carbs, it help my gut to regulate or treat the yeast inside (since yeast is always present in your body, it just need to be regulated)
What do u eat?
@@shuhan6805 stir fried vegetables (carrots, calabazin, string beans, lettuce) for protein, i prefer chicken breasts or beef, no sauce and salt, did it for 2 weeks more or less
Bro did you haved hair lose of seboric??
@@moqamfishing3399 I have, I just try not to pick at it
That's like 90% of my diet
Same
😂Bro...
So I gotta figure out how to cut at least 50% or all of my diet. Damn we're cursed with a troublesome skin condition.
You should do a what I eat in a day video- I feel I noticed similar impacts & saw a ton of folks who switched to the carnivore diet almost reversing this condition
TBH, whenever I cut my hair short like semi bald, my dandruff disappear like my scalp can breathe again, but whenever it's long like shoulder long, dandruff always comes back. The weather here is arid and I have a very active sweat glands which makes me uncomfortable most of the time when I am outdoor.
Brother honestly we are just unlucky we can't eat the foods we want . We gotta fight against the foods. They put too many additives:(
Same bro that is annoying asf
@@HeavenlyDemonicEmperori hate it the dandruff that never disappears sucks :/
@youssef1770 no matter what we do mf always comes back
It’s been 6 months since I started adjusting my diet and trying out shampoos that works for my scalp. This video changes everything! I finally got control of my dandruff and no longer have itching problems. During my first months I use Selsun blue and Coconut oil shampoo, and stopped eating fast food, bread, and other foods I can’t remember I stop eating. I feel relieved and no longer have problems with my scalp, so I decided to eat more healthy since I feel so happy for being healthy. Currently I’m dealing my hair loss problems, and hoping this damage won’t be that much. I just want to say thank you for helping me and others who have suffered to seborrheic dermatitis with this video because this is will definitely help us.
Can you tell me what are some of the alternative foods to avoid dandruff?
I used GM TAR shampoo which has tar and salicylic acid. I usually apply olive oil some hours before taking a bath. Then I apply this shampoo by rubbing it on my hand then apply it on my scalp and leave it for about 5 mins then wash it off. If I encounter those bumps I use this spray called Demasol. It works well and keeps my dermatitis in control.
@@himanshurai2854 This depends to other people, I avoid eating Bread, any processed food, and any food with sugar. If you have any food allergies, avoid them as well.
@@hikari.kaishi your hair loss stopped or not? I am worried about you.
I was able to stop hair loss at one point, but wasn’t able to hold it fully since I have use products that wont work for me.
When I notice so much dandruff on my scalp since I used to use virgin coconut oil, my flakes wouldn’t go away so I stop using it. I know I said I did use coconut oil shampoo since that is one of my first shampoos to use for my dandruff, but this is like a trial and error stage. I stopped using selsun blue since my hair is thinning, my dermatologist keeps recommending to use shampoos that can dry so much of my hair and giving me essential oils that can make my scalp oily and gave me pimples on my face.
I wasnt able to fully understand my skin type because I always use shampoo and follow someone else’s routine without thinking. My cousins and my sister have oily type hair and its a possibility I have oily skin, and my sister recommends me to use tea tree oil shampoo. Im currently using Avalon thickening shampoo every other day since I dont want my scalp to be greasy. Its a promising shampoo and no problems with dry or greasy scalp. Its still too early for results since I just started adjusting my routine, praying for better results
If you can't afford to avoid those food Alex was talking about, you can try this. Cut all the heavy sugar intake and drink a lot of water. Works for me.
Yes. Lots of water and practice fasting... ppl are eating all day not allowing for digestion.
Do you still eat carbs? Did it heal completely from cutting sugar?
@@Soniaks i eat normally, no diet. Only sugar diet
He's not lying. Before even watching this video I always do high protein and low carb diets for weight loss and my SD is always much better!
Watching this is 2024, greatly appreciate you explaining and backing up your answers with research instead of suggesting some expensive shampoo
Same here. I got diagnosed with Diabetes in Jan '22 and had to cut carbs from my diet for that. Meaning most of the bad things which you mentioned in your video were included.
A benefit of doing so was that my seb derm was cleared. Definityely works and glad that someone else has narrowed the seb derm part down to the exact ingredient.
I had no idea that yeast is used in so many foods though.
My issue has always been what to replace these foods with after spending the majority of my life eating them.
Meat and salad or veg works well but can't replicate some of the textures and taste that they add. Please do upload your current diet.
And thanks for the video.
Dude I'm type 1 diabetic for over 20 years. If you got diagnosed with type 2 it can be cured 100%.
More exercise, completely remove carbs and sugar go on a keto diet.
DO NOT start taking insulin from these disguisting immoral pharmaceutical companies that are using you for profit and mess up you body. There is nothing wrong with your body you're just feeding it the wrong fuel(food), feeding it too much fuel or not burning off the fuel you are giving it.
You CAN fix this without them bs drugs, best of luck bro 🙏
Can you please get in touch with me? I'm going on this yeast free diet and facing some problems.
Thanks
@@taimour111how the condition now
I guess this works as well...I am diabetic too and vut almost these goods and i cann see difference..btw what do you eat in a day???low carb diet right?
Thanks for the detailed info. It’s hard to be on a carbfree diet but it’s possible
For me is more like a nervous thing, it goes worse on the change of seasons but if I feel more relaxed the skin gets better (never perfect). I tried a lot of products, doctors and more but is my type of skin. The white hair helps a lot to hide it.
You never needs to listen the haters! you are very talented and handsome! I hope your channel gets bigger ❤️
Yeast makes you get nervous. Research about it.
When cortisol levels are high in our body, it actually increases our dandruff, do not know what is the relationship but yeah I have experienced it.
Me
My god, if I stop eating all of these I would be eating nothing!!
yeah, that's the problem. This is not manageable, plus i have tried it and it didn't work for me... But how do you feed yourself only with meat, fish, eggs, dairy, vegetables and fruits? i mean, you can but it is a miserable life.
@@pedrogimenez3792 Exactly, this just can't happen!! I'm not a fan of meat, and I don't even eat fish, so personally it's even harder for me, I would just have to eat fruits and salads, it's just not possible. And if it didn't work for you, I guess it doesn't work for all people. But I want to try the thing with the lemon though..
@@tasosGRvocals then keep suffering the sd i guess
@@pedrogimenez3792 the phrase "only with meat, fish, eggs, dairy, vegetables and fruits" doesn't make sense lmao, you're really comparing all these types of foods to ONE type which is grains? oh boy.. Cutting out pasta and bread won't kill you
@@oneyedeagle and rice, and potatoes...
I'm in awe of you being able to cut your own hair!
This changed my life! Not kidding. It helped me both cure my dermatitis and even psychologically. Never felt better. THANK YOU
Hi, as an Indian I might cut down yeast for 3 or 4 weeks but living without them is sort of impossible, what am I suggested to do? To start eating stuffs again after getting rid of seborrheic dermatitis or not?
Can you do a day of what you eat??
I definitely agree with this video! I’m rice obsessed ever since I was a child! But since I started my fast and cut it out completely my scalp is much more healthy
what did you eat?
Tried cutting carbs for 7 days and it literally worked like a charm. No more dermatitis. I done some research on it and found out that the SD was being caused by sebum production which makes sense. Every time you eat carbs for every meal, you elevate your insulin which in turn produces androgens in your body. That causes your pours on your scalp and face to produce sebum which the yeast feeds on and it causes inflammation and high skin turnover. Hence why the flaming skin. Highly recommend people try no carb for a week to see how it goes and replace simple carbs with veg.
@@MRSPACE-jd1dm Yes exactly, try it. But the biggest thing to do is lose weight and reduce the chances of your body releasing too much sebum. (Body oils) Overweight people generally release more sweat and body oils even without doing anything. And also in India, try to get s shampoo called Nizarol which works amazing as well in eliminating fungus ont eh skin quickly. Basically makes it heal faster in a few days.
This is a huge challange. To change my diet so much will be hard. I think im gonna give myself time and take away one sort of food at a time. I'm so tired of having this scalp problem so im seriously consider this. Im already glutenfree so..
I think its interesting how your patches are irregularly shaped, because mine is circular/ oblong shaped. Going to try and cut down on bread, cheese, and alcohol (going to be tough because its holiday season) but my scalp is the worst its ever been. Thank you for this video!
.....you have ringworm. .....go to a dermatologist. ......you'll get pills. ....otherwise, it won't stop.
hows it going now?
It’s either ringworm or a type of eczema called nummular eczema, which closely resembles ringworm.
Yeah it's totally worth a shot... My dandruff has gone completely after I left eating everything told in the video... With dandruff even my soul has left my body as there were no other food to eat. Its my soul now writing this review.. totally worth a shot guys try it
Many people are on a keto diet and this is basically that.
what are you eating instead of all those ? Just curious, I also wanna try the same
@@jithukrishnanv5348 wo majak kar raha hai.

@@Mohit-zn2rn in Pakistan Aswell 😂
Bro which food u eating
Glad this worked out for you. Sounds like you should start making some videos showing healthy recipes with no grains that you use, I'd definitely give it a watch.
The Asian me was saying, "Leave my rice alone!" 😅
Okay so I'm an Indian basically you're telling me we shouldn't eat wheat etc, but our daily meals are like, Roti(wheat) + vegetable and rice,so what hell should i do 😂😂
Thanks so much man! I plan to try this myself. I avoid the medical field as much as possible because they're paid to get rid of symptoms but not fix the issues. I was recently told I had seborrheic dermatitis . I knew that certain foods have been proven to help with the inflammation factor and I brought it up to my doctor and he refused to admit that it would work. Granite, he is not a nutritionist but I don't like how the immediate response for these issues is always a prescription instead of a resolution. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Did it work for you? I want to try it
I haven’t been able to get rid of it completely but I did notice cutting gluten out help significantly. When I would drink beer or have pizza, I would notice it would get worse. I haven’t stuck to the diet long enough to have it work completely but it’s definately worth trying.
@@louisdicarlo8569 Okay, that's pretty helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻 I'll give it a try
Here is what triggers my Seb dermatitis:
Coconut oil
All nuts
All dairy
Too much sugar (it's ok in moderation)
Yeast & carb products as per the video
4 years ago I started using shampoo with Selenium Sulfide in it. I use it when i shower, not only washing my hair, but spreading it all over my face and into my ears. I allow it to sit for a couple minutes before rinsing it off. I use this shampoo 4-5 times a week and the Seborrheic Dermatitis is completely under control and my face is clear. I suffered with this condition since 8th grade and in high school it destroyed my self image. I'm still glad I found this remedy at 52 though.
This an ad
@@KA-rr6lu No, it's not an ad. I posted this to help others. But I fixed it so you would feel more comfortable.
@@davidgodfrey2956 The Finnish have a blueberry extract shampoo from Orkla that kills fungus quite neatly. It doesn't have Selenium Sulfide, but it just works amazingly. I found it an incredibly quick and the ONLY real way to kill my toenail fungus(I am FREE!) and this stuff doesn't cost shit. It's called "mustikka-shampoo".
It used to be even better before they swapped to a Vegan recipe, but it still works. I wonder if they know what their product is capable of.
I'm coming back here to this video to show my gratitude towards this guy. I have tried all the possible solutions out there in the content world but nothing worked for me until this guy made me realise "Diet is everything". I reduced Rice and wheat intake relative to my previous levels for about a week. The result is awesome and I can't even see a single flake of dandruff anywhere, No itching, No rashes, It's just clear white skin. Oiling and cleansing is key along with a balanced diet.
Carbs are obviously not the issue. The issue is REFINED carbs and sugar.
I went on the carnivore diet and my scalp cleared and my hair grew like mad. I’m going to do what you said. Thank you. You’re right about this!!
hey! update?
Bro legit gave himself a proper trim
I too was able to cure my dandruff and skin issues through diet. I went extreme by going on a carnivore diet. Cured BUT who wants to live on just meat and eggs? Well it all came back after going back on grains. I know it’s diet that changes it and following your video I’m going low carb which is basically what you did to some extent. You’re basically the only layman to produce a helpful video as all the others who were about topicals which haven’t worked. There are a couple of doctors that knew the trick but strangely they weren’t dermatologists who always recommend topicals.
The funny thing, if you look up information about this condition, many medical sites claim there is no link to diet and dandruff related conditions. Of course. Because if millions of people stopped eating breakfast cereals, grains, pastas, oats, tortillas, etc, that would have a catastrophic impact on consumerism.

Same story here, i went trough all kind of medications and topic creams with docs and dermatologists, a bunch of money wasted and several scars, eliminating sugars/grains/yeast cleared out my skin and dandruff and dermatitis
Hello, I just started this diet and I'm facing some problems.
Can you please help?
This method worked for me, since I sometimes can’t control myself on eating the foods I tried to avoid, dandruff came back. I guess I finally found the solution of my stupid
seborrheic dermatitis problem for a year now, but eliminating most foods I eat will be a challenge!
I will try to do the same, but eliminating 100% of starch and yeast becomes very hard! Maybe eliminating them totally in the first period and then slowly trying to add whole grains without yeast...here in Europe price of meat and vegetables has gone mad
God knows I'm tired of my seborrheic dermatitis. I tried everything as well, but shifting my diet. I'll try removing yeast and grains as much as possible. Thank you for your help!
Update?
update?
I bought some gold bond psoriasis dermatitis cream and it really works. It's breaking it out to repair it. Like my face at really dry that I would just scratch and pick at it. And I also wash my face twice day with Cetaphil skin cleanser. I'm telling people so they know how to fix it. I my case my skin always gets worse with products before better. Also limit wheat and pasta from diet and sugar. That's always helped me. I'm getting some exderma cream too to try and some seborrheic dermatitis cream with makuna honey. I'll let yall know. ❤ I know how frustrating my eyes have been broken out for years and now my face it just never really goes away just moves around on my face. 😢
My seborrheic dermatitis was terrible before going to the dermatologist. My scalp was literally on fire due to the itch. My entire computer will be covered in dandruff nearly every time I sat down. It was completely miserable. In my experience, the ketoconazole 2% prescription strength shampoo really helped control the condition. It didn't make it totally go away, but it controlled it so long as I used it every other time I showered. The dermatologist also prescribed me clobetasol foam, and that helps a lot if my scalp starts to flare up really bad.
I'm having that head on fire sensation right now. Arrggg, it sucks.
I know this is a year old, but I need to make this comment for those who will read this.
The point of this video is to show how to be proactive rather then reactive. Companies would love for all of us to keep buying the band-aid that works. But the point of the videos is to say that even if things out there work, we need to look within to become self-sufficient. That's all. Thanks.
please don’t ignore this and please get back to me once you try it!!! I was diagnosed like a year or 2 ago with seboric dermatitis. They tryna tell me it’s “chronic” 😑. I got prescribed ketoconazole that red shampoo they give you. That shampoo is crap. I used it on and off and my dandruff/red itchiness would go away but then come back once I stopped using it. I got tired of it like 2 weeks ago I felt like I was going insane. I told my mother it was driving me crazy and she had mentioned a long time ago to put vinegar mixed with water in my scalp, then massage it and it will go away. I finally decided to listen to her😂 and it went away. I haven’t used the stupid red shampoo in like 2 weeks and I have literally no dandruff and itchiness/dryness. I had a coworker try it they also have itchiness and dandruff and it worked as well! I only wash my hair with water now in the shower and sometimes I’ll put shampoo or conditioner so I can smell good only on the hair not the scalp! Please try it. Vinegar mixed with water, massage your whole scalp with it and leave it on for 30 minutes at least. The longer the better I leave it on for 2 hours ish. Good luck lmk.
So happy you were able to figure out what helps you!! I’m going to try this method on my son, hopefully it’s the one for him too 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I'm going to start today! I've been dealing with embarrassing dandruff all my life. The shampoos dry out my hair. Thank you for making this video.
3 week update: it works!!! My scalp looks great and I don't have the itch and dryness I once had. Eliminating grains and processed sugars worked. Thank you!!!!
Which shampo do you use?
Ketoconazole !! I use it for years it helps but not 100% @@mickzdacosta3815
how are you doing? what do you eat on the daily? thanks
Hey bro give us an update
while i totally understand that this grains are causing or worsening the situation , there is no way in this world that i will basically cut carbs out of my diet. No amount of creative meal alternatives will replace rice , pasta, bread etc... i rather keep my seborrheic dermatitis in check by using nizoral than being a miserable human being without carbs.... but to whoever can cut carbs from their diet more power to you.
Shit I’m right there with you. It’s nothing for me to use a shampoo on my face everyday but to cut out carbs entirely? Nah, only if I must.
And I eat clean, so the only carbs I eat are basmati rice, bananas and berries.
Maybe even just reducing the amount of carbs you eat could help. Cuz your body uses carbs as fuel and turns fat into carbs to burn energy so you will never not be burning carbs. Maybe reducing will result in less food for the yeast to eat and grow off of.
You stop craving carbs after a few weeks once your body has switched to burning fat instead of sugar. It seems a lot more daunting than it really is.
This video was great. I cut out all the foods you mentioned (minus the occasional beer), plus I’ve started rinsing my hair with apple cider vinegar and switched to using diluted castile soap as shampoo. After all of this my SD/dandruff is completely gone.
What diet did you take then? I want to know what to eat after avoiding grains and yeast.
Aim for mainly fruits and vegetables, with lean proteins. Try to avoid grain and simple carbs and anything with yeast. A Ketogenic diet is a good idea, but it’s heavy in cheese and dairy which I also personally try to avoid.
Avoiding starches makes a small difference to me. The biggest factor is how I am feeling. Many moons ago, I always felt like a million dollars and had amazing skin.
Today I feel different, this feeling causes my abdomen to burn inside, the more it burns the more dandruff I will have, the drier my skin will become and the more skin problems I will have. For me I need to focus on what is causing me to not feel good. Fortunately I know it has something to do with my heart or around love. Will press on...
It's not just about diet. It is also related to your mental state. Take an anxiety and depression test online. Chronic stress is also the cause of this disease.
Kinda the same with me... I would say anxiety and an "overflow of thoughts" are kinda of 30% of the cause for me, the other 70% is related to sleeping well or bad...
When i start sleeping too late at night for many days, my dermatites get much worse... If i sleep early (around 22:00) every day, then after few days it gets 70% better...
The other 30% are more related to how my feelings are and also anxiety, when I can control that and sleep well every day the dermatites completely disappears and my skin gets so good.
I was able to do it for three months straight few years ago, three months completely free of it!
Nowadays, it barely bothers me anymore, except when I mess up with my sleep time for many days.
@@MCA0090 interesting !
Hey man I'm very happy for you but something you said doesn't add up, yeast is a living organism and when it's baked/cooked it dies, so basically we eat dead yeast. Yeast is used in baked goods bc it produces CO2 that makes dough fluffy and soft. Also what's up with rice and potatoes, afaik those don't contain any yeast, but they do contain carbs? I think you're onto something but it's not food yeast, it's carbs, bc all baked goods are rich in carbs so that must be the thing that was causing your seb derm. I'm gonna try and reduce carbs from my diet and share the results (if I remember lol).
How is it now my guy 🧍♂️
Pls reply, how is it going.
Hey there, mates. Fellow Scalp seborrheic dermatitis sufferer here.
This is for people like me.
I had this dandruff thing maybe 3 years ago from now. Severe dandruff, got bald and can see patches of fungus there. Doc at first recommended (Clobetasol Propionate 0.025% lotion) and (salicylic acid 2% and ketoconazole 2% shampoo). Worked well, but the solution wasn't a long term solution. There's nothing bad with using the shampoo long term. Dandruff was still recurssing at this point.
Tried (ketoconazole 2%) only shampoo, didn't work. Itchy, redness and danruff on scalp. Moderate hairfall.
Tried (ketoconazole 2% and zinc pyrithione 1% shampoo) only. All dandruff wen't away just like that. Extremely effective for me, but at the cost of heavy hairfall. Was depressed at this point.
Then tried a "piroctone olamine" only shampoo for a few days. Recurring dandruff but very slight ithciness and normal hairfall. Didn't work that well. Doc said no but still was using that lotion I mentioned in the first treatment(like maybe once every 10 days and danruff was under very good control).
Finally, currently using (Ciclopirox olamine 1% & zinc pyrithione 1% shampoo). Works like charm. Had to use it every alternate day initially, but now once twice a week works fine.
Hope this helps to some of you out there!
Thanks, Vicky.
Hey share the link of Ciclopirox Olamine and Zinc Pyrthione shampo or what was the name of the shampoo?
Eliminate:
Grains like: bread - rice - oat - pasta - potato -
(Yeast & carbohydrates)
Bro, thank you for sharing this information. I think you are spot on. I think you hit the nail on the head. Your much smarter than me bc I’ve been dealing with this SB since 2011, with no relief just the typical ketoconazole and Rx from Dr’s. You solved the puzzle. Please make a part 2 of what you eat and what you don’t eat. Thank you.
You just Use Ketoconazole shmpoo(without drugs) since 2011...?
Did you haved hair lose of it?
This video helped me so much, I had been using the same ketoconazole products for years, but this is what fixed my issue. Thank you so much Alex !!!
I’m happy I was able to help. Best of luck Claude!
CAN you share what has solved the problem
I was on keto for like half a year. It didn't do any wonders. Didn't help with my appearance "flaws". But it still was a great experience. I felt more energetic and my mood was better. For me it was no miracle cure for all life problems, but I did notice some benefits. So my point is that we all are different and what works for person A isn't always good for person B
been dealing with dandruff since i was like 11 or 12 im now 23 and pretty much all the things you mentioned to avoid are part of my daily diet im going to change it though and hopefully get similar results as you
Any luck?
please let me know if it works for you
He ded
What happened?
spoiler alert, he didn't try
What a way to answer to hate. Keep up the informative videos, sir!
I been using moisturizing shampoo with cold water and I noticed I been getting no flakes compared to using hot water which gives me a dry scalp and flakes.
I read online that using hot water actually clears off the oil on your scalp and clears off the dandruff shampoos ingredients making you waste your money on shampoos. Not saying this method of using cold water with shampoo will work for everyone, but for me it worked. Hopefully this was helpful.
Started 6 days ago. What I have noticed, is that after cutting out confectioneries, the itching has been less. Still, I have patches all over face as well as scalp, ears and chest. On with the crusade. Perhaps, 7 weeks is a better time frame for me, as changing eating habits ain’t easy! On the plus, I’ve not had chocolate or sweets, they’re a strong favourite, stopping everything at once just leads to insane binging in my experience. But I have faith in healthy eating. In the end, it’ll take as long as it takes.
How's it gong?
Not great to be honest. Lots of stress though, and feeling ravenous all the time.
@@drusif have you been eating lots of other foods like meat, fruits, and vegetables to balance the lack of grains? wish u the best btw. this condition can be very stressful
@@amphibamine Cut out sweets and chocolate and bread. Still have had small amounts of pasta when feeling faint or angry. Haha.
@@amphibamine It’ll take much longer than 7 days for me.
I have suffered (tremendously) with seborrheic dermatitis for about 5 years. Nothing helped. I decided to try a carnivore diet to lose weight and guess what? My dermatitis improved in 3 days! My hair was basically destroyed by the dermatitis. If I didn't shampoo every 24 hours, the itching and shedding and scaly scalp was shocking. I also have it in my eyebrows. I only started the meat-only diet recently but I am a believer! Thank you for your video.
i m a student and this is literally my whole nutrition. This is going to be a big change😂
Video starts at 3:05
thought I was going to get peddled some anti dandruff products but you ended up reinforcing views I've long held ... diet and gut health are so important to maintaining a healthy body
It’s totally all about what is in our gut. I want to get a colonic while on a cleanse. It’s time. Thank you so much for this video!
No it’s not
It’s not. There are people on keto and/or clean diets and they’ve had it since birth.
So, you’re totally wrong.
@@IamhimbutyouarenotNah it does connected to gut and the food we eat. Many people don’t question what these process food has. Ingredients with different chemicals , nobody has any idea what they put in their body . They just love the taste of it 🤦
Some people yes it is linked to diet, others, cause they don't wash their damn head.
Yes, please make a video on what you eat daily! Thanks!
Thanks for the video Alex, that was really amazing. I have suffered with SD in my hair, beard, face and really over most of my body for about 8 years now. After 55 years of the SAD diet and lots of antibiotics after many back surgeries, my gut was destroyed. Low Carb/Keto started to help but I am now 90 days into full carnivore and everything is starting to heal slowly but surely. Some carnivore doctors I follow say it can take 6-12 months to heal your gut fully if really bad so I am planning on doing this for a full year before I add any carbs back in. Grains and sugar are gone for good though. I just want to say that it is also so good to be able to connect with so many other people via the comments below and know that I am not alone, for years I thought I was some sort of freak and got to the stage of not wanting to leave the house. Take care everyone below and thanks for sharing your experiences.
Continue doing and I can confirm it takes some time, I am alergic to gluten, had SD since childhood (34 now) and after lowering carbs and completely removing gluten I can confirm it works. But it takes time to get 100%, you will have 80% of the results in the first month but 100% took almost an year. Good luck on your journey, this brings many benefits besides curing SD.
@@arthurp9511 Thanks so much for the info, so good to know and makes it easier to keep going. The other benefits are coming in thick and fast, I am starting to feel like I am in my 20's again. Not sure I ever want to eat carbs again.
@@arthurp9511are you saying you went carnivore and it cured your SD or eating the diet Alex suggests and it cured yours? I too suffer from SD badly on scalp and face.
I use salicylic acid serum on my scalp a couple times a week and it’s helped so much
dude in all of our food in daily life there is bread and yeast and that stuff if i stop them what will i eat ? steaks ? I am not rich and these foods are the common EVERYWHERE so what is the substitute ?
Exactly..!!
Well if you don't have money you are fucked, kinda like everything else in life
@@lautarofarnos835 good point but there are ways to move from that position to better
Bro thinks we can afford multiple steaks everyday lol
Just eat meat and protein. It’s not hard. Carnivore op/ keto diet.
Eggs, ground beef. Chicken. Lamb. Fish. Etc.
Check for Celiac disease(anti tTG IgA, IgG/anti Gliadin IgA, IgG), it could be silent, and a food intolerance panel...
Will u please post the foods to take during the time period of eradicating dandruff?
Alex, can you list the foods you avoided? I too have suffered the embarrassment of getting my haircut while suffering from seborrheic dermatitis. Would really like to try what you did and see if it helps. Thanks for the video
I know what you mean same here @andrewcook Thanks alex gonna give it a try as well pray it works for me🙏🏽😁
Would also like to know this, thanks.

@@TheSimpleDudeOne So basically I can only eat meat, eggs, milk and fruit?
This is so true. I've struggled with acne for years, seen many dermatologists, used many products, but nothing helped. Once I went 100% vegan, my face was clear and I only had scars from previous acne, but not new ones. No doctor has ever told me to change my diet and I had to realize this myself.
So true. I wasn’t lactose intolerant when I was in middle school so I used to consume a lot of dairy products and had severe on my face and my body as well. I went to so many dermatologist as well but it was just temporary solution. Idk what happened but I just became lactose intolerant when I was in 12th grade and since then I just don’t consume any dairy products and my face and back literally got cleared.
I would check yourself for yeast overgrowth in your intestines. Maybe you need to take some probiotics or friendly yeast to stabilize the flora. OFten it comes from the gut
The strange thing is that when I travel outside of the USA my SD goes away! Specially in hot tropical climates where my scalp produces more oils. Not sure if changing the diet is the way to go but I will give it a try for 1-2 weeks.
Has it worked for you dude? 😩
@@rikgissel9189 I tried it for a week and cannot confirm if it works. Rice is my main source of carbs. Can’t live without it.
@@Andretiitry brown rice
Any progress?
Alternative: wash you scalp with apple vinegar or apple cider vinegar. Leave it in for 15 minutes then wash it off. It worked for me from first use and didn't need to give up on carbs.
Good luck!
Edit:
You should mix the apple vinegar with water before using it. Use 1 spoon of vinegar to 2 spoons of water. (I personally use 2 spoons vinegar, 10 spoons water)
Eliminating all yeasty products from my diet, as an Italian.... Damn 🥺😔
As an asian I died when he mentioned "rice" 🥲

Scalp psoriasis/dandruff can be cured and for free, though it takes years. The trick is deeply massaging the scalp. You gotta really press down and rub in circles. It could be either blood under the skin that heals it or a fluffing up of the thin skin which allows it to thicken and get healthier. Took me years.. I had HORRIBLE scalp psoriasis and I am around 95% to 98% clear after about 8 years or so. I also used this to cure a longtime infected bellybutton and it also provided huge improvement to my IBS, massaging the infected belly button and intestines respectively. Good luck.
I stared a diet and was shocked to find my dandruff was gone
I confirm that this works, I did intermittent fasting & only ate animal based foods which helped cure some issues I had including the dandruff on my head & beard which were totally gone until today. I had pizza & beer with some friends the Friday past & I saw this morning ( Sunday) that I had some dandruff in my beard & it was itchy as well.
I feel like this would work for me but what the hell am I gonna eat 😅
Same
This is a band-aid solution works for a few months than the itchy flaky scalp comes right back. More sustainable solution is to go on a low starch. moderate fat and protein diet.
I'd rather live with dandruff than devoid my life of any pleasure from food
You are a blowfish Jesse!!!
Not if arthritis was eating your mobility or dementia eating your brain away
Good it worked for you. Coincidently, I quit sugar 4 months ago and carbs 3 months ago. My skin overall got better but no luck with my scalp. Probably it is at its worst right now. Good for everyone to understand that while certain things help some, it might not help others, and overselling something shouldn't be the way to go.
The foods to avoid = literally my daily diet 💀💀 . Also, dermatologists were found deceased after this video was uploaded lol. Coz the amount of money I’ve spent on seb dermatitis omg the same steroids again and again different combinations, systemic steroids too etc. and nothing working. I’ll try out this diet tho when I have time
The root cause is so unique to everyone that’s why this condition is hard to cure it is curable it’s just hard to find the root cause your root cause and someone else root cause is different
How is it now
Hi how bad is ur dermatitus? Is it on ur scalp? I got bad derm and they reccomend me topical steriod but idk cause what if they dont even work
They say Caprylic Acid taken orally helps with the yeast internally.
Thanks for sharing this video! Really helped me a lot in trying to find the problem from inward and being proactive. Would love to see a part 2 video of your diet. By the way, what kind of alcohol do you think is okay to drink? =)
Tequila
Use flucanazole tablet once or twice a week. That have helped me alot in fighting this fungal infection and dandruff.
Having this on the mustache is the most self conscious thing ever. I'm not an ugly guy, but I'm not a model. And my beard is always kept lined up/trim and my haircuts are always regular. But having it on the mustache makes you feel so gross. It makes you think the world is staring at you and it's just, a horrible feeling.
I'm going to try this. But cutting out all carbs seems rough, we need carbs for energy.
How the hell are you able to have it on your beard??
Eat healthy fats instead of carbs. Eggs, avocados, lots of olive oil, etc.
@@wateo1782 I got it too.
I feel you bro. It’s demoralizing. I workout and carbs help me with that. If I cut out carbs I get extremely ripped and skinny and I don’t want that. But I guess to have clear skin it’s what I have to do. Sucks to be dealt this hand honestly. I see people with super clear skin and I’m so jealous.
The basics to treat Sebhorric dermatitis is maintaing moisture in scalp.
I did following things to control my Dryness --
1-i have short hair
2-I use Johnson's baby shampoo because it is extremely mild
3- i apply good amount of oil after wash
(Oil can be irritating if you live in hot climate such as I live in India but
It's cheap
As alternative you can use natural moisturizing cream or leave in conditioner but ensure that they have very mild ingredients in it)
4- most important manage your diet
I disagree with him saying don't eat too carbs i eat oats in milk for breakfast and it is very soothing for my body
I don't feel any dryness.
Yes wheat, breads, potatoes are not the best option ,also control sugar intake because it spikes insulin that cause more acne especially if you are in teen or twenties.
Don't worry much it will go with time
Do go to gym ,get the body heat out
Be Happy.
Things will be fine
hey, what are some natural ways to get body heat out? I'm indian but live outside india so i don't know many methods because people don't speak about these things.
@@kb5538 out of all the best things that work for me is Doing exercise daily,
Join the gym drink enough water and bath before going to bed only with water to clean the scalp.
My scalp is bad. Led me to this video. Will update in 7 days. Today is 9/13/2023 thank you
what happened ? you alive?
He is no more😢
Hey you pos let us know if you’re still bald or found a way to reverse it! We need to know! And now!!
Use filtered apple cider vinegar diluted with water in 1:2 parts respectively.
Massage this on your scalp. Make sure to keep eyes closed tightly shut.
Wait 5-7 minutes and then wash normally with a shampoo.
For the final rinse squeeze half lemon in about 400 mls of water and wash the scalp
Towel dry gently.
Do this twice a week until the condition subsides .
Does absolutely nothing. Tried on myself.
Most of these issues comes from a leaky gut. He is 100% right but you can heal your gut as well to make yeast and bread tolerable again.
Hey how do we heal the gut

It appeared on my scalp when I have moved to another country and experienced some stress (2-3months ago) - started treatment
Dreaming to get my healthy, fresh scalp back…
I'm asian... How do I cut rice..
I’m mexican, how do I cut tortillas 😢
You don’t. Just use zinc pyrithione and let it sit for 5 minutes then rinse. Everyday.
Just dont eat them. easy as that lol
I can't eat grains, wheat etc. at all and i don't drink alcohol and my eczena/dermatitis etc. on my scalp is atrocious. So it isn't all about nutrition.
A lot of scientific research suggests that a lot of the harsh chemicals in shampoo is responsible for it. A doctor told me something similar.
3:15 here's your answer
I changed my diet to compliment my workout journey, and 4 months later I noticed I didn’t have dandruff anymore. I was so confused but happy, I was trying so hard to figure out what it was but I slowly realized It was my diet. Make sure you hydrate yourself as well, that will take care of the other “10%”
For anyone who sees this, I’m going to start doing this starting today. As a reference, I’m starting with pretty severe itchiness and flaking in the scalp and eyebrows. I’ll update the thread next week with an update on how it’s going.
Im here
Any update?
