Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.
This probably explains why I experience shedding. I found out not too long ago that I'm anemic and my hemoglobin levels were low. They also told me my iron was low. 😭😭😭😭 MY HAIR!!
No worries ... it's just a sign that you need to take better care of yourself. It's not final, your diagnoses is an excuse to start a holistic health journey.
You are spot on with the advice. My husband just got me some iron skillets and I have been taking iron pills since I was 13... yeah it is not fun.. with transfusions and so on... but we survive with proper care. Now 27 years later... I am still surviving. I do tea/coffee rinses which help with the shedding and hair loss and also taking my medications. ;)
DiscoveringNatural God will continue to keep you ma'am.
When taking iron supplements or eating iron rich foods, always consume with vitamin C. Vitamin C helps iron absorption. I take my iron with vitamin C pills as I don't want to drink orange juice, because I try and mainly just drink water all day (because iron pills and constipation) I also have an iron rich smoothie (look up iron rich fruit & veg) and add orange juice to it as well as water.
You are right. I struggle with iron deficiency a lot and I just found that that vitamin c helps iron absorption.
You can also get vitamin c from lemons too or any citrus fruit. Strawberries also have vitamin c too. The only down side is you can't have any dairy products, coffee or teas.
S Howard hey why is that ? Just wondering
I hate taking iron supplements. Every time it makes me so nauseated. Like the kind where you just wish you would puke so you'd feel better. I hate being nauseous like that
Are you a scientist or an academic or something ? Just curious. 😊 I really appreciate how thoroughly researched and informative your videos are!
She has a background in statistics.
Thanks for shedding light on sicklecell disease. ❤
That's so messed up that it didn't get media coverage, and we all know why that is smh Thanks for all the info
I felt like I was in science class but I was actually interested. Awesome video and extremely informative ❤
Well, at least I won't die of malaria.
lol
yumikumi2 ikr lol
Lmaooo😂😂😂this made me laugh so hard
Same 😂
On point again! I'm a clinical pharmacist, and the animation and content are on point. One other iron rich source that I've taken in the past is Black Strap Molasses. It's full of minerals including iron. I take a tablespoon in a green smoothie and try not to take it with dairy products since its absorption can be inhibited by Calcium rich foods or food that contains phytates such as grains. Even learned something about the oxygen applied externally to the scalp. Thanks Green Beauty!!
You are watching the best channel ever...
Thank You 😊
Wow my little cousin died in 2009 from sickle cell.. this literally made me tear knowing if he would have made it 9 more year he could lived his life out
Damn..💔🙏🏼
So sorry for your loss! I know a family that lost three of their children to sickle anemia. It is heartbreaking
I've been battling anemia for many years,but this year its been pretty difficult to manage. I've felt horrible cold hands and feet,ect. my hair hasn't fallen out but it is growing slower than usual.I bought the mega food blood builder off Amazon. It's working,but at times I have some effects of the anemia. Like now my hands and feets are cold, also my face and nose. If I eat and take the pills on time I'm fine. God bless whom ever else is going through this as well.
God bless you! You are not alone with this! I understand completely what you are going through! Stay strong!
are your hands tingly/ numb-ish?
My hair was really falling out especially when I washed it! I'm so glad using Argan rain products. I bought 3 bottle of Argan rain hair care products 2 months ago and I decided to buy three more again I can really tell the difference!
In Full Bloom Floradix is a natural supplement that saved me during pregnancy. Please research it.
Kimmy Kuppa I didn't know that. So they should be used in conjunction with one another? I use the floradix liquid to get my iron because I have a hard time swallowing pills.
I take blackstrap molasses on an empty stomach every morning. I wait at least an hour to eat my oatmeal. I FEEL AMAZING !!!! I feel oxygen flowing throughout my body . My hands and feet are warmer
Well researched - I enjoyed this. I have had anemia and now take iron daily. That and no longer using dairy products have me feeling better
one more ...."caffeine" can reduce iron absorption by up to "80 percent" ! ..yes 80% !. Consider substituting non-caffeinated versions of coffee, teas and other drinks when you can and not drink pop laden with sugar and caffeine .
don't drink milk or tumeric it stops iron abortion ..no dairy no turmeric if you're anaemic !....better eat spinach and kale every day and take a Iron supplement like liquid iron bottle from Germany ! called Floradix formula , take two or three large spoon a day ! ;www.florahealth.com/product_categories.cfm?category_id=4&prod_id=87 This iron supplement will not make you constipated and no side affects . its called Floradix formula ..I take it every day plus a diet high in Iron .organic dried apricots , spinach , kale also are high in iron .
Mikael Vitaly Vyacheslav i take my iron at night slow release with Orange juice so i can have that cup of midday coffee , lol.
What is iron abortion? Lol
@@venicemitchell3159 to be honest you want liquid iron for better benefits. Your body doesnt get the full benefit in capsules or pill form. Taking liquid iron is easier for your body to absorb. Also try a tablespoon of molasses . I was anemic and after 2 days of molasses i was cured. Molasses is rich in all the b-vitamins and high in iron.
@@rickyangeles08ify lol I think she meant iron absorption.
Is Geritol liq energy support good for iron deficiemcy❓
Your videos are so well done! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into putting them together, I appreciate that!
I absolutely loved your video. It's the best I've seen on hair loss anemia. I found out years ago I was anemic. I pretty much ignored it and figured I was still functioning so...eh... whatever. BUT.... I have always had thick, voluminous hair. In the last 3 to 4 years, my hair has fallen out so much, I was in a state of panic. I thought it was hereditary, but then when I recently went for a checkup & finally felt comfortable enough to talk to my doctor about the hair loss, she told me that based on my bloodwork, the untreated anemia was the culprit. Now in my 40s, I'm taking this very seriously with Ferrous Sulfate to build up my iron/ferratin levels, blood builders for iron, B12 & Vitamin C to help with absorption, and Vitamin D supplements. As someone who has been healthy her entire life, taking daily vitamins is a new experience, but I was at the point where my energy was so low, I couldn't even get myself out of bed some days. Now I feel much healthier & stronger. Please continue making these informative videos. They are very helpful and well done.
Jazzy Moni did your hair return?
Thatglam Tam I have only been at it a couple of months now. I'm told it takes about 6 months to start seeing results. In the meantime, I (obviously) keep my hair in natural looking, protective styles. :-)
did you have regrowth? how's your hair doing now?
Hey, can you give us an update? Thx
@@jazzymoni7750 heyy !!!! How u doin???
I LOVE your platform! I just realized that I needed to tap the bell, because I have missed all notifications. I am playing catch up, and I must say your content is so rich with useful information. I am learning so much about my body and my health, through my hair. Thank you!
This video is done with such EXCELLENCE!!!
Omg this makes so much since to my hair shedding so much. I’m borderline anemic and have been prescribed to take iron supplements two times a day. I will definitely keep all these tips in mind. I’m praying I can overcome this and still grow long healthy hair. Thanks so much for this video.
What I don't understand is why my nails grows in really nice and strong but my hair doesn't when they're both made out of keratin?
I've same issues
Ediane Voltaire my nails grow super long but break easily,they grow back to normal in about 2 weeks but it is weird
Your nails are made of a different types of protein than your hair. When you consume protein your body breaks it down into different forms of protein for your skin, hair and nails.
I am anemic and my nails are fine but hair...uhhhh
I have Sickle cell and everything you said in this video is true!
Yesss. Very informative. I found outabout the sickle cell when I was pregnant. They told me I have a percentage well half. My daughter also has half. The doctor kept explaining to me that it is okay. I was a little worried because it was all in French. I wish I had your video then. I am glad that you explained so well in such a short video.
It probably means you are a carrier and so is she but thats actually okay because it means you are more resistant to malaria. Nothing at all to worry about. (:
I am anemic and had no idea that was the reason my hair was thinning and not growing as fast. And I also have sickle cell trait. Will resume my iron pills today. I'm supposed to take 3 a day (that's just how bad my gynecologist said my levels were).
You and I both. I don’t have the trait but have been very low for many many years and prescribed 3x a day! Just started actually taking 1-2 a day. It does make the difference. I take it with vit c and liquid D3 and K2. Good luck to you.
Love how you're pumping out the videos!
Loved this video! Could you make an updated video about specifically Iron deficiency and how the body absorbs iron. One thing that I have come across is that the reason why people are deficient isn't because they aren't taking in enough Iron but it is because their body isn't able to absorbed the iron as well as others. Also their are different types of iron that increase absorption and the iron found in vegetables are not as easily absorbed by the body as iron found meat. For vegetarians and vegans this is extremely important to be aware of. My iron got dangerously low when I went vegan even though I was consuming spinach and kale smoothies like no one's business. I know vitamin C helps with absorption and calcium blocks absorption. Spinach is also rich in calcium so this might explain why. There's just so much more info on this topic that could help people like me who have experienced hair loss because of iron deficiency.
Wow had no idea that calcium blocked iron absorption! Thank you for that. My mother has suffered extreme hair loss from anemia she has had since her early twenties. I'm hoping I can help her with all this information.
So informative!
Girrrlllllll you are SO intelligent and INFORMATIVE!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!! I have gotten so many tips from this video and will be implementing them immediately!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Love your videos!! I have iron deficiency anemia and I've been wondering about this. Your videos are so relatable keep up the good work!!
Just finding this video on RUclips. Great video, but would request doing a follow up to discuss Ferratin stores and how far along in IDA you have to be for your iron stores to be depleted from nails and hair to the point of breakage, brittleness and black lines (in your nails). This doesn’t clarify that simply having anemia does not mean that your hair will automatically break and your nails will be brittle. Those are symptoms of severe and long-term untreated anemia. As someone that has gone through this and who also has sickle-cell trait/anemia, I think it’s a worthy follow up.
Great content.
I am on a daily multivitamin that has 10 mg of iron; it says 70% iron, and 100% zinc. I love it.
I learned from my doctor today that not all iron is the same. You need to compare the mg of “elemental iron” in the supplement. For example, ferrous fumerate is 33% elemental iron by weight, ferrous sulfate is 20% and ferrous gluconate is 12%. Please do not just increase your iron intake by what someone is posting that they take. If you take 40 mg of elemental iron but someone else is taking 325 mg of ferrous gluconate, you are taking approx. the same amount of iron.
I just ran into page about ten minutes ago. Awesome videos! Subscribed!
Love love love watching your videos. Informative and unbiased, interesting and engaging. Always make me ponder on things. It's been juat over a year since I've been natural and your watching your videos fill me with confidence that I can sustain my natural hair without reverting to the harsh chemicals of the past.
Keep up the great work. May I also ask if you have carried out any research on wearing wigs and the effects it may have on your hairline?
Thank you so much for this! I have anemia and my hair has been extremely dry and breaking and shedding no matter what I do. I had no idea this was why. This was so very helpful.
brittany sample
check your thyroid levels. my levels were off and also anemic. that's the cause for my thinning hair
E Rodriguez thank you for your reply. I actually had my thyroid checked and although it said normal, at the time it was on the low side of normal. But doing better now! I hope you are as well!
my anemia changed the texture of my hair leaving it dry and frizzy. How can I repair my hair? Should I treat it as damaged hair? It's been shedding and breaking leaving it thin. thanks in advanced
The most important thing is to get your anemia in check by doing the things suggested in the video (iron supplements, iron skillet, daily wheatgrass shots, etc.). For you hair externally, try coating your scalp with onion juice on wash days. A video on all the science behind the benefits of onion juice will be uploaded on February 2nd. I'll also give you a stronger recipe and show you how to use it correctly. So please stay tuned. In the meantime, I strongly suggest you work on yourself internally to reverse your anemia ... b/c if you don't fix the source your hair will keep deteriorating. I hope this helps :-)
@@GreenBeauty i also 🙁 have anemia and my hair fall increase and now become thin before was thicker 65% become thin I'm struggling three years with anemia
Help me .
I lost a lot of hair this year due to my Chronic Anemia. Definitely gotta start some type of routine
I 💗 your videos. They’re so informative. Thank you. 🙏🏾💗
I have the sickle trait and I'm anemic as well so I notice the difference in my hair when I take supplements but I have to buy new ones cuz the one I take makes me constipated....tfs really informative
Thanks for making this video! I have iron deficiency and have had to get 2 blood transfusions already. I'm now on iron supplements.
liver is good to eat too. its like 65% iron
Another excellent video! This has come at the right time for me. Keep up the good work! xxx
I love your channel and how informative it is ❤️❤️
Please do a video on hair density and thickness!!! Is it possible to have fine hair and make it thick (naturally) overtime??? Is there a science? Can hair density change and can hair strand width change?
Thanks in advance.
No problem ... I'm still working on it. It will be uploaded soon. So, please stay tuned :-)
+Green Beauty Channel ™ Can I change my hair type to something looser? or bigger curls?
This is a great idea.! I can't wait for that video.
+Queen Sea The only way to loosen your curl pattern is through chemical processing, like relaxing, and texturizing. There is no natural way to loosen your curl pattern. You are better off embracing your kinks since that's what you were blessed to have. All kinds of things can happen with those chemicals.
Cindy99765 Queen Sea Actually I heard that coconut milk has proven to loosen the curl pattern overtime (slowly and not dramatically, just by a letter or two). However, you can do manipulation styles to get big curls like 2b/3b,c/4a. If you have 4c hair like me it may be a hassle to go outside with my natural hair curl pattern due to knottings and single strand knots etc. So I manipulate my hair texture to either have big curls or tight curls. I love my natural hair texture but I will never perform a wash n go (hair style that shows the beauty of everyone's true texture) due to the maintenance, it also helps me to retain length.
Love Love Love all of your videos. Soooo thorough and informative. Thank you so much. I am or I was a anemic. Take a supplement daily.
Thanks for the video!! Very informative 🙏🏻
I've been recently diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia. I've been drinking liquid chlorophyll mixed with water and taking a supplement and it's helping. The first time I was checked my haemoglobin level was 7.6 and after a month its at 8.4
I did lose my supplements so it would be better lol. Just reordered them. But the liquid chlorophyll works wonders. I couldn't do too much beetroot coz it lowers my blood pressure too much and makes me feel worse. 💟xx
How did you get liquid chlorophyll?
+Onyxa lovesJesus you can buy it on Amazon or EBay 💟 xx
How do you check your haemoglobin levels ? Do you do it yourself ? I have to go to the GP for blood tests but if I could monitor it myself that would be great. Thanks
I found or about a month ago I'm slightly anemic.. :( I am going to try to eat healthier, because I think thats why.
Love your vids! Very informative!
I truly appreciate the effort you put towards producing these vids. can you do a video on the use of castor oil for hair growth if you get the chance? thanks 🌸
This is so informative! Thank you!
U're awesome!!!! So well explained 🙌🏾👏🏾! God bless u girl
love your videos!!❤ I learn so much in every video 😊
Great video, and it is right on time.
Yass love these videos I learn a lot!
Thanks for watching :-)
My hair was really falling out especially when I washed it! I'm so glad using argan life products. I bought 3 bottle of argan life hair care products 2 months ago and I decided to buy three more again I can really tell the difference!
I was very pleased with service and product.
Good technique and good thinking.
Take moringa. It's the tree of life that grows in poor countries. It has all the minerals vitamins and amino acids you need. It's ten times more than the food you get.
Another excellent and informative video.
Love your videos! Thank you. I suffer from anemia.
Great informational video 💕💕
I have love your channel for years! Is there a science behind Scarring Alopecia? I know that it is not well understood but it so frustrating trying to have healthy hair but my body doesn't want me to. My hair is stuck at a awkward length and I want to wear it out more or even do twists but because of the big shiny patches it's impossible for me to feel comfortable wearing my hair in that style.
Thanks for this message Alana. I have to do more research on it. I hit a dead end b/c I need a more high powered microscope. A video will be uploaded in the near future.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this video, it was very helpful for anemia! I would love to try some wheat grass. Also I will look in getting an iron pan.
Thanks ! You are the best 💟
I love this video alot, but People with sickle cell anaemia hardly, if ever get iron deficiency, and should not go about ingesting iron. I know about sickle cell anaemia and iron deficiency is not at all a problem. Please consult your doctor.
another amazing video sis.
Do you know if B12 deficiency which is a form of aniemia can also cause problems with hair growth?
Great video! Thanks😀
Does beets help with producing more blood and iron?
yeah...I have to take iron supplements for my iron deficiency anemia. It wouldn't be so bad if the iron didn't make me constipated like a mf! 😖😖😖
Candace Shade all I drink is water and I never get constipated taking iron. How much iron do you take?
Candace Shade Probably because you are relying on the supplements alone. Your diet has to come first and the iron pills supplement your diet. Drink more water. Also research Floradix, I swear by it!
Sam I got prescribed 45mg from my doctor 6 months ago and supposed to go back for another blood test..probably to see if the boost helped and then the dosage could be reduced. I do believe I'm NOT drinking enough water.
Sharley Paul i def will look it up but, yesss girl..I relied on them too much. I had to slow down in the isles at Shoprite and look for that iron on the nutritional labels Lol I take the 45mg every two days now and working on increasing the water...can people overdose on iron???
Did either of you have hair loss? If so, did the hair fall every slow down or stop? I have been shedding more hair since becoming anemic and it's scary!
Thank you for this vid. I believe I suffered anemia related hair loss. Is it possible to get the hair back once your iron levels go back up again?
Probably overtime.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
Thank you Green Beauty
You made my day
So usually you have sort peices all over the head if it an iron deficiency? Because my 6 yr old doesnt havw bald patches, but has a bunch of short peices. Her hair has gotten sooo short. She went from almoat waist length hair to uneven hair that is an inch above her shoulder blade. HELP!!
Which green smoothie do you drink daily?
hi ,
I had a question concerning anemia and curl pattern. I have notice that the hair at my crown and front of my hair have no curls but more of a wave almost straight. I haven't applied heat or color my hair since October 7 2016, so I'm assuming it's not heat/color damage hair. Can anemia be the cause of that? the back and my side's are very curly.
Please help
Great video.....just a shame you didn't explain the difference between heme iron and non heme iron and that heme iron from animal foods is far superior and if you are drinking tons of green juice like I was and your hair condition is not improving then you might want to try red meat and liver🤔
dang...um I think i had really low blood iron cause when I went to get my blood checked the nurse thought the machine was broken because my iron thing was really low (I'm not really experienced in medical stuff I'mjust telling you from what I experienced) and she checked it again and thought the machine was actually broken she said that she would send it to the lab and sent me home and she called my dad and told him that the machine was actually correct, I think it was really bad cuz she told me to take iron pills that had 60 mg and told me to take it every single day and im 13 right now (i think i was 11 or 12 back then) i didn't take the pills cause the first week it made my head really hurt and now i think i have anemia because my nails are really bendable and my hair is thin thin like almost falling out think. i think im gonna go to the doctor to get checked up again i don't think after 1 or 2 years i recovered cause im still experiencing symptoms i was experiencing back than and my eyelashes have been falling out like 1 a day or 2 and my eyes are really irritated.
Fun fact: 95% of iron in spinach is inaccessible due to the cellulose in the leaf. Last I checked, the most bio-available source of iron is red meat.
Call Me Swivel Hips what makes it inaccessible?
Didn’t know sickle cell anemia was a natural defense against malaria. Nor had I heard of an oxygen scalp treatment. Who knew! And thx for the info on the cure!! Definitely haven’t seen coverage on this. As always informative & timely. Great job!!!!
Thank you so much...🧡🧡🧡
I have anemia and my daughter has sickle cell anemia and both are no joke but sickle cell anemia is more severe.
Hello,
Please post an explainatory video on the carmel hair treatment;both homemade and the one manufactured by etae.
I don't have any of these side effects yet a nurse said that I was anemic.
Everyone is different. Some people with Anemia, experience the worse case of symptoms and some people have no symptoms. If that nurse checked your hemoglobin levels and confirmed that you are anemic, even though the symptoms are silent, its something you should pay attention to and reverse.
GreenBeauty thank you! And every since I've definitely been doing things to reverse it.
after taking restore of iron to it's normal, will hair follicles alive again? ☹️😟😟😟
yes to all the above!!!!! I am!
I’ll be getting a blood test soon to see if my iron is low. However recently I experienced extra shedding which has never been an issue for me before. My hairs been a lot thinner for about 1 year but I just didn’t realise it was until I experienced extra shedding. My diet has also been better in the last 6 months and I’ve been drinking more water and taking multivitamins so is it possible that my hair shedding can still be due to low iron? I am pale but I’ve always been pale, easily out of breath after doing a little bit of “heavy” work, I sometimes randomly get headaches. Can my hair shedding be due to low iron considering it’s never happened to me before and I’ve not had any new symptoms?
I have thalessemia. What do you recommend? My crown in sore right before and right after my cycle. My hair is thinning more and more.
yes so true!
I get daily nose bleeds and I have thalesemia, so even though I'm male, I need much more iron
I noticed that no red meat or liver was mentioned in the iron rich food section.
They are rich in iron but meat causes disease. Heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, etc. Especially red meat.
im sure ill need a diy wheat protein regemen for my particular situation.i get raised small bumps at the top and itchy.i appreciate any advice you have.thanks.
Burdock root for hair video please
Yes, to all of the above
I have sickle cell im glad im watching this I thought was something else for some reason lol
Isaiah 53:5
hey guys. idk at all what spectrum I'm on when it comes to this but I wanna check it so I know for sure my next steps...Anyways...I started taking iron awhile ago and my hair started to grow in more black then brown..did this happen with anyone else???
Yep me! Also used to have brown hair, it's pitch black now.
Are there any iron pills that won't make you constipated?
Marquita Freeman blood builder or Raw iron by Garden of Life. I've used both and their Raw vitamin Code women's multi at the same time and I'm feeling so much better. Hope this helps 😍
@@breesechick thank you!! Will look for these
Great video. Question: I get monthly iron infusions due to malabsorption anemia. But my Ferratin levels are barely budging.. any advice?
Try taking Vitamin C or drinking lemon water before hand to boost absorption.
