I am a guy with Afro and never used conditioners LOL. I always thought some shampoo is enough. So this winter my hair looked terrible. Lots of split ends especially at the top and left of my scalp. I kept trimming the split ends with scissors but it only got worst. So a few days ago I after some online research I decided to get a good conditioner. I shampooed the hair and applied the conditioner. Left it on for like five minutes. Rinsed it. Used paper towel to dry it and let air do the rest. I then applied some oil that contains rosemary. My hair has never looked and felt this good.

SO WITH THIS LOGIC MINOXIDIL CURES HYPERTENSION AND BALDNESS AT THE SAME TIME ?

Thank you for this video and for all of your work in supporting people of Afro decent in their hair journeys, Dr. Aguh. We need more like you around the country! I hope you'll be connecting with professionals at Hair Health Summit 2025 because we need a nationwide directory! I can't wait to talk to my dermatologist about PRP as an option. Not certain if scalp treatments are yet in her purview but I'm hopeful. This also makes me wonder about the over-the-counter placenta serums (VEGF and EGF). Have you worked with these serums and if so, have they proven to be effective?

Very thorough. Thank you.

Can we talk about topical metformin?

I love your work .

I'm curious about using oral minoxidil and how a person's age affects the outcome. Is it less effective after age 50 or 60 or 70?

Dr. Aguh, would you please make a video about CCA/ Scarring Alopecia and treatments?

What black men’s products have now been found to cause cancers including blood cancers & prostate cancer? 🙏🏼

Who benefits from using Metformin solution?

You say that evolutionary the tighter coil pattern is not supposed to grow past the shoulders. I would love to know why you’ve come to this conclusion. By my observation, it seems that Hair can grow as long as it wants, but will always shrink up to its tightest nature to keep the head cool. So it’s actually growing long, but the idea is that it should not pass the shoulder as opposed to your statement that it is not supposed to grow past the shoulders.

Very interesting

What is the best protein conditioner

Hello Doctor, we need a video about people who live in countries that do not provide oral minoxidil, and if they can use a topical minoxidil solution for that, such as drinking 2-4 drops of the solution, each 1 ml contains 50 mg minoxidil , and 1 ml equals 40 drops, so 2 drops = 2.5 mg, 4 drops equal 5 mg, and if we look at the topical ingredients of Minoxidil, we can see propylene glycol, ethanol and water, all these ingredients cannot harm us because they are already made up in our food and drinks, can we do that?

Can we do oral min , with topical fin min , please let me know as oral fin doesn suit me , thank you dr

Great information!!!

Wigs and moisturizing is what saved me lol I’m so sad I can’t wear braids anymore and if I do it has to be for 3 weeks tops

Thanks, I just updated my routine as well.

So let me get this right - for men, thinning is serious enough to use oral minox regardless of their age but for women, they need to be almost bald because they should accept just getting old. The patriarchal health care system in full swing, coming from a female doctor at that.

Hi Dr crystal where have you been,, how come I am just finding you😂, well thank God I find you,thank you sooo much for sorting much information

My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed last week. It started two years ago when I started to let people braid her hair. I would leave the styles in for weeks, basically neglecting her hair. I feel horrible, and now I don’t know what styles to do. Her hair type is 4c barely shoulders length blown out.

As a type 4b/c woman, I do not understand someone having to moisturizer their hair 6-7 days of the week. Proper moisturizing during was day should last at minimum 3-4 days with a low manipulation style. I wear mini-twists most of the time and only remoisturize on wash day, which is weekly.

Yo! Finasteride effects sperms? Huh?

My hair is growing waaaaay faster now that I’m consistently taking vitamins!!! I was drinking water, exercising, great diet, juicing and trimming. Now, I’m focusing on filling in my follicles. Ironically, I applied this two days ago, but I just found my notes of your recommendation this morning from two years ago 🤦🏽‍♀️: Castor Oil Rosemary Oil Peppermint Oil Lavender Oil Tea Tree Oil

Thank you so much for this video. Could you please do a video on texturizers or relaxer companies you like or can recommend?

Loving these videos! Please keep them coming!

Also, could u please share who your stylist is? I live in Maryland.

I just found you and am delighted. Found u giving an interview on the Style and Beauty podcast. Anyway. Definitely not going to inject anything in my scalp. Then again, I am 71, African American but so far avoiding alopecia though hair not as thick as it was in my younger days, of course. I use the red light therapy and have instinctively been moisturizing probably 3/4 times a week. I was even more delighted to learn u are at Johns Hopkins. Going to get your book and then do a deep dive into your content. Do you do consultations?

As a type 4b girl, you don’t need to moisturize daily. Find styles that retain your moisture

Hi i have low porosity hair and my edges are kind of short i am looking for a style that promotes hair growth and something healthy and less stressful what would you recommend

Hi, I use 2.5 mg oral minox, and want to also use topical minox 5, instead of increasing to 5 mg oral, in order to avoid side effects. Is this combination recommended?

Hi doctor my ethnicity is arab iraqi arab like asian and arab my hair is curly to wavy to straight at the same time and its always frizzy i try to manage that with leave in conditioner and castor oil!! Like literally only castot oil would put my frizz down but i wanna know if you seen yhis type of hair and will i achieve tailbone length ever? 😥 Thank you ❤

Wigs aren't good for traction alopecia .... the lace irritates the area

I love your book :) I purchased it from Amazon but someone tore out page 11, ingredients to look for in your shampoo. Would you kindly do a quick video with that information at some point? Thank you and have a blessed day :)

Very well explained, I have androgenetic alopacia. I am in my perimenoposal stage. I hhave been prescribed with oral minoxidil. I haven't been taking yet because I am scared of the initial shedding phase. But this video convices me I need to start my treatment.

So this is not effective for chronic telogen effluvium?!

Hello Crystal, love all the information you have been giving but could you make a video where you discuss the cornrows, how to take care of it, its pros and cons. Kind regards.

Really nice video! i was wondering if i could help you edit your videos and make them more engaging as well as create short content out of them.

Hi doc, what kind of shampoo, deep conditioner do you use on your daughter? It seems that everything that's out there have fragrance and if it doesn't it's not made for our hair type.

Thank you for this. I feel seen. I'm black African from Kenya. Literally the cradle of civilization. Other than some weirdness from Arabs long ago in my lineage, I'm not mixed with anything. I'm black on black on black with a very thick and tight curl pattern with very thick hair. I love my hair so much but some tips just don't work for me. Thank you for this

You should stay in your jurisdiction, you yourself do not even have natural hair.

Yes my hair is so tight it's completely collapsed and only shows ends no shaft no matter how long it grows. People judge it as unkept and tangled because they are looking at ends. Its so perfect it never tangles and i never comb it, combing make it dry split and tangly. At 12 plus inches it does not fall and succumb to gravity when wet. My afro and braids dont shake or swing. Its will forever be a teeny weeny afro at any length. My hair is not a mixture of length and shrinkage it grows completely pilewise not length wise. Length is an oxymoron yes it thrives short. Stretching it also takes away from its moisture and beauty. My hair is rare on any continent however im american, im an anomaly and my own race doesn't understand my hair they think something is wrong. Being the highest grade of hair its too powerful to be manipulated by products , "Hair care" in any capacity is bad for my hair. Its more about keeping it unified and leaving it alone. Its the royalty of hair grades you will respect it and leave it alone and its not trying to be cultivated to appease people s biracial dreams for it. The math is different it doesn't grow up to the sun or away frow my face it packs in growing down toward the roots. The coils arent stretchy they are spring loaded with so much pressure that you can feel scalp pain as it tries to un leash it self from even a loose braid. Therevis no gel that can lay it down.

High heat blow-drying, harsh chemical hair products, hair coloring and bleaching products, elastics/barrettes that bind hair too tightly, combing and brushing hair when wet or with rough force, poor diet, scalp dermatitis, and illness can weaken all types of hair and result in breakage. Know what the ingredients in your hair products and treatments do before putting them on your hair.

I have a question. My son whose Black accidentally sprayed household bleach on his hair. He immediately rinsed as much as he could out. Now, the spot does not grow, is there a way I can get it to grow back? It’s a small area but it’s there.

Sadly, it was clear mine wasn't reversible, so I opted for a hair transplant.

Does it stop hair loss?

Thank you for addressing those who have "soft" hair. I think they're really underrepresented online and yet I know so many people (young and old) who have had their hair at the same chin/nape length all their lives!

Hello - Can you shed some light on the following natural remedies for thinning hair: Gotu Kola, Ginkgo Biloba, Hibiscus, Onion Juice, Green Tea, and Niacinamide. Thanks

Question: How would using a texturizer on type 7 hair be helpful in learning how to manage one’s hair when chemicals tend to cause damage (at least in all of my experiences with all chemicals)?

Thank you for true facts!😊
