    As someone with a thyroid condition that causes their hair to fall out (my hair has thinned out a lot over the past couple years), I want everyone to know that you are beautiful and worthy of love and affection regardless of what state your hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are in. I know that sounds really obvious but losing a lot of hair can feel really demoralizing and scary and be a bit of a confidence killer. You are loved and wanted and beautiful.

      @Miss Catastrophe Your hair grows at the rate it grows which is largely genetic. If you eat well, exercise regularly, take your medications responsibly, and generally try to take care of yourself that will optimize your hair, skin, and nails. Hair growth potions, solutions, pills, etc and supplements in general are not well regulated in the US, they make unsubstantiated claims and can even be harmful when combined with other medications or taken at improper doses. I don't mess with that stuff at all and wouldn't encourage anyone else to especially not without first discussing it with their doctor.
      Honestly, my best piece of advice is to find a hairdresser you like and get regular haircuts to maintain flattering layering that helps to improve volume so you can't tell that your hair has thinned out as much.

    Oh yes, those hormonal changes... I'm pregnant, and the end of the first trimestr was a horror for my hair. Due to the hormonal changes in my body and the baby growing (plus I was iron defficient) it felt like I lost a third of my hair! It was brutal. On the contrary, hitting the second trimestr, I stopped shedding. Like... totally stopped shedding. I lose no more than 50 strands of hair in 7 days. And yes, I know that I can expect another round of hair loss after giving birth. And all of this seems to be normal. What a rollercoaster! I send all the love and luck to my fellow pregnant curlies. 😘

    • @mrahzzz
      @mrahzzz 2 года назад

      Ah! I was just going to add to what scientist Mell said! For anyone curious on insight on this, to paraphrase Mama Dr. Jones (OBGYN youtuber):
      Pregnant people who feel like they're going through either abnormal amounts of hair growth/health and then abnormal amounts of hair loss are experiencing a phenomenon where hair cycles will sync during pregnancy! So abnormal amounts of growth/loss are a result of a larger percentage of your follicles being in the same growth/death cycle at a time! Things un-sync following the end of pregnancy, which is why hair seems to go back to normal!
      edit: ah, well, should have checked myself - Mell gets into it with telogen effluvium! I wonder if this is what MDJ was talking about, and she just explained it as syncing of follicular phases...

      Sophie I did a couple things recommended by my doctor, I got a set of 10 iron injections because my hemoglobin levels were extremely low. I took a iron, B12, B6, D, zinc, copper and folic acid vitamin (it was an all in one vitamin pill thank God except for the Vit D). Ate tons of spinach, beets and legumes, specifically lentil soup. The iron vitamins can mess up your stomach, so I always ate before taking them and followed it up with a cup of orange juice to help with absorption. I wasn’t allowed to drink coffee or tea. And what I found helped a TON (and no nausea) was a mix of beet juice and carrot juice on an empty stomach in the morning for two weeks straight... that shot my hemoglobin levels up real fast. Following all of these recommendations, I was anemia free in three months or so. I hate beet and carrot juice, but every time I get my period I make sure to drink the mix just to make sure my levels don’t go below what’s normal because of blood loss. I just cover my nose and drink up 😋😖. Hope you’re able to recover soon!

    Hi ladies. Hormonal shedding during perimenopause is real. I lost about 50% of my hair - fortunately I had a really thick/dense head of hair to begin with. I now have a normal amount of hair compared to other people. I have had some regrowth due to being post menopausal and no longer having all the hormonal fluctuations, but also I started HRT and collagen supplements. I tried biotin - it didn't work for me at all, but collagen seems to have helped a fair bit (having started the collagen and seeing a difference prior to the HRT). Stopping all the heat styling and looking after my hair better has made it shinier/healthier as well. Overall I do have some real regrowth without resorting to minoxidil which would have been my next step. I didn't have visible bald patches, but my hair lost about 50% of the volume of hair from before. I think I have regained another 20% back, so that's exciting. For those who are coping with menopause there has been light at the end of the tunnel re hair loss - at least for me, so don't despair as there are things out there to help. Best wishes.

    Honestly am extremely grateful that you made this video. I’m only 23 years old, in the past 1-2 years, I’ve noticed an extreme change in my hair. I’ve always had long, healthy curly hair. I felt like I always had pretty strong and healthy hair. But in the past 1-2 years, I’ve noted a lot of hair loss. My curl pattern seemed looser, and frankly didn’t want to curl anymore. Due to Covid, I really got in my feelings about this because I also noticed parts of hair were short, as if they were growing because I had experienced loss in that section. I’m currently am seeing a doctor and doing test to really see what’s going on within. Due to Covid, I also came across your videos. I felt like I could really trust your judgement and has helped me change my curly hair routine. Although my hair is still excessively falling out, my curls look much healthier. Thanks to you, I found products that worked for me. ❤️

      Wow. I don’t know you would all but this comment just spoke to my soul. Over the last year, I’ve also noticed change in my hair. I’m someone who had long, healthy thick curly hair as well. When suddenly, six months ago. Things started changing. My curls became looser, my hair started excessively shedding, and I finally just gave in and got a pixie cut. I took a blood test and it turns out I have low iron.

    Hi Mell, you probably won't see this, but the video means a lot to me. I've experienced several bouts of telogen effluvium for the past 2 years because several traumatic events happened in my family that just seemed to never stop. It seems like the worst has finally passed, but at the expense of what feels like 3/4 of my hair. Just when my hair was starting to recover, another horrible event would happened. I had hair that was even more dense and thicker than Amanda's and now its so much less than what it was. My neck used to hurt from how heavy my hair was and I now I can't feel it. I'm trying to accept that this is temporary and things will get better, but its really hard, and seeing your video has helped a lot. Hearing it from someone whose videos I enjoy and have taught me a lot really helps to assuage some of that fear and just trust the growth process. Thank you.

    I went vegan over night and 4 months later I had a tonne of hair fall. It didn't stop and turns out I was vit D deficient and my ferratin levels were low. This lady speaks the truth. Also, it doesn't grow back until you fix the deficits and protein helps vitamin absorption so don't listen to the vegan you tubers telling you that you don't need to watch your protein. I listened to them and I now have super thin sad looking hair!

    The biggest factor I discovered that was making me actually lose a lot of hair is NOT PROPERLY CLEANSING! I had disgusting dandruff due to not cleansing my hair properly and it took me like 3 washes to get rid of it. And I KID YOU NOT, as soon as I got rid of all the dandruff and I felt like my scalp was very clean, I immediately started to notice that I'm shedding "normally" again!

Knowing that, I still thought there was something wrong with me and that nobody else had the same issue. Your video helped put the problem into perspective and now I know it's not unfixable. Also, thank you for not trying to push any specific product on us and for approaching this as a human issue rather than a business one. There are so many overpriced hair loss products out there that don't even work yet influencers swear by, that's why I'm so skeptical, but I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel because you're so real and honest!

    Thanks so much. My hair has thinned so much as I get older. On the issue of hair color, I'll say this--if you have dark hair and are going gray, either go gray all the way or cover it. But dark hair with gray around your temples creates an optical illusion where your "grays" don't register to the naked eye (the gray kind of disappears when you're looking at the hair as a whole), so it makes it look like you're missing all that hair.
