@@harmonandrews2849I would think so, if it's toxic to dogs and cats I think it's toxic to other fragile pets, it's just that cats and dogs are most common, so people only specify those two. Ik I'm not letting that near my parrots 😅
YES! Almost no where does it state IN BOLD about pets. Anywhere your head touches could harm your pets.. blankets, pillows, clothing. I am losing most of my hair @ 37 and would do almost anything; but harm my pets.
Hi Dr. Shereen, With the ongoing events at your home country of Lebanon, it is no surprise that you’re not your usual energetic self. And it’s ok to not to be okay. But I just wanted to take this opportunity to genuinely thank you for taking the time to still educate us Nerds, you’re truly a gem. Sending you lots of love. Praying that Lebanon and Gaza stays safe ♥️🤍💚

I'm so glad you recorded this episode! As a person who always struggled with thinning, brittle hair, I went down the rabbit hole of hair care. My journey has begun exactly 2 years ago when in Poland (when I'm from) "włosing" ("hairing") trend grew big. It's all about the right techniques of taking care of one's hair and learning how to read product ingredients. With a very few changes to my normal routine my hair started to grow and stay on my scalp. If I had to pick only one thing that was a game changer, it's massaging my scalp for a minute when I wash my head. Not hair, just the scalp. The foam will drip down your hair washing it, no need to "laundry" your hair. I have not been consistent with enzymatic peelings on my scalp which usually helps with hair growth. I have not been consistent with with applying the proper scalp product either because the good stuff is easily available in Poland and I can bring back only that much to the US in my luggage. And I do have this lovely red LED helmet but my husband uses it more regularly than me. Regardless of this, the very fact I massage my scalp has transformed my hair! Also, I don't use a towel to dry my hair. Use a cotton t-shirt to minimize the damage. Use a hairbrush (wet paddle brush) to distribute your conditioner. Use a silk pillow and silk hairbands. For curls, I recommend silk curlers. That's all you need to really improve the look of your hair once you choose the right products that suit you. To sum it up, HOW you apply is as important as WHAT you apply.
@thatmagicalbeing 37. I wash my hair (and massage my scalp) usually every day in the morning. 2-3 times a week I also massage in some scalp cosmetics but I'm not very consistent with this. I had high TSH, hypoglycemia, tetany, and high-stress levels for a long time but around COVID lockdowns I started to sleep longer (as in starting working remotely) which improved my overall health so it's also a factor. But I (and my hairdresser!) noticed a difference after I implemented the changes I wrote about. I hope thet helps!
@@sophiadc Thank you for sharing! Brushing hair (the scalp) helps to stimulate the scalp so massaging it definitely works the same. I don’t brush, wash and putting serum on my hair everyday, I try to but very so often miss a day or so in between. Seeing your experience encourages me there is still hope to grow back some of the losing hair. My friends and I are starting to notice our hair loss in our 30s, and constantly working on the issue. It’s definitely something what age do to us, so we could only do what we could to slow down the process.
"When it comes to medicine there's an art, when it comes to science there's an art. And that's why sometime with scientific things you have to see it through the lens, of not just the scientific information, but also through the lens of the patient and how you're going to make that patient best adhere to a protocol. And that's where the art comes in." Bravo Dr. Well said.
hey shereene idriss, im so sorry that youve had a tough time, i send you the best energy and warmth, its really helpful to watch your videos and you contribute to peoples well being.
Kerastase leave in heat protectant is hands down the best. I’m a hairdresser for 13+ years and switched over to be a nurse and now a nurse practitioner for the last year. So you’re speaking my lingo in regards to art and science. Give it a try you won’t regret it. There’s an orange one and a green one. Orange is more hydrating and the green is more for protein and breakage. The product is specifically called thermique
When it started for me I didn’t even want to go to a salon. I was so embarrassed to have thinning hair now I see how silly that was. I used red light therapy and the caffeine shampoos, rosemary oil and dandruff shampoo. All of the at has helped but I never went back to my original hair but it’s better. I will try minoxidil yet I can’t afford to shed any hair at first.
Ladies I think we are all in this together but please don't let it bring you down instead use this as a motivational push and start with your regain hair back journey, it is long but will pay off. I have been adding daily tonic to hair, rosemary shampoo and nizoral alternating massaging hair everyday via tonic using wooden wide comb and avoiding blowdrying as much as possible and 2 times a week oiling hair (my own home made mix of all good oils- rosemary,castor,mint, black seed oil, sesame oil, fenugreek oil and adding actual sage leaves, bay leaves and some cloves if you have hemp seeds throw some in too. I swear by this oil started during covid but was not consistent but was for my mom who was 70 then and by time she passed I promise she had the thickest braid ever. Also taking vitamin E, pumpkin seed oil pills and vitamin D.
Stress can be gone. But once you have hsir loss bc of health probs or hormonal problems it's too hard to fight. I almost cry missing my dense hair and doctors don't understand me. When i see girls with dense and long hair i just don't want to go outside and stay at home all day... but i have university to go.
@@miraalhomoudavoiding blowdry is not a good thing i think. Cause it's not straightening your hair with heat. It just helps your hair to get less frizzy and hinders headaches and even more.
Would you please do a video discussing the male-pattern hair thinning/loss for those of us women who suffer from PCOS & how to address that to regrow hair? Thank you for everything that you do!!😊❤
I'm almost 47 and perimenopausal and prone to hair shedding thanks to hypothyroidism. I don't have thick hair to begin with so I'm always nervous about losing too much hair. I noticed that my hair seemed a little thinner and my hairline seemed to have gotten a little further back. Despite this, my hair still grows quickly and doesn't have breakage, so at least I don't have to deal with those issues. I started taking Verisol collagen (5 gms of the powder) for my skin and joints three months ago, not really expecting anything for my hair, and, after about 8 weeks, I started to notice that my hair part looked narrower and my hair looked thicker at the roots. The side of my hairline where it had thinned more looks like it's filled in a little, which is exciting. My overall hair quality looks really good lately- just extra shiny and healthy looking. So, that might be worth trying if you have midlife hair thinning.
Thank you for being so honest. You'd think what you went through, you wouldn't have any hair left, but I'm glad you do. I admire your resilience. It makes me realize we all have our crosses to bear.
Everyone’s journey and experiences are different- I’ll just share what I’m doing and works well for me and helps me to at least maintain. I can’t help the hair thats broken off, but I am using the bond repair products and I think they help. I’m focusing on growing new thicker hair also. I increased my protein intake. Work on scalp health with taking omega 3, zinc and vitamin D from supplement and sun bathe for 15 a day (which also helps my mental). I’m using ammonia based hair dye to minimize hair damage- for my root touch ups. Have considered minoxidil, but I am liking and feeling good about this route and want to avoid drugs if I can. 50 y/o peri menopausal, with psoriasis , and fellow doc here. Thank you for sharing and Good luck to all on your hair journey ❤
Great video. I was extremely low in vitamin D for 3 years or more. I was shedding so much I created hair balls on my carpet in the bedroom. I've been taking 3000 IUs for 2 years and my vitamin D hit 400. I'm seeing new growth slowly. I'm post menopause. Can't wait for next week's facial hair seems like they're I lost on my head the more o grew on my face
Your skin is looking the glowiest and smoothest I've ever seen it. Could you make a video of what you have been doing to get such beautiful glass skin?
With everything going on, I want to thank you for tending to your needs, let alone sharing a little piece of Dr Idress with us. Just a reminder that you do not have to do that, but we appreciate when you do. If there's a way for the community to be supportive of you, please let us know. Be well. Or as much as you're able to. 💛
@@adrianacanavati8212at least Gazans didn't get kidnapped and kept as hostages (including kids and BABIES) for over a year now, like happened to Israel.
If you’re still testing out products to help with hair thinning/hair loss, the Pura d’Or shampoos & their serum specifically targeting hair thinning concerns helped me reduce a great deal the amount of hair I was shedding every day. The original gold label that has 17 DHT blockers is the one I would recommend for those with advanced hair loss and/or coarse hair. Otherwise, for those like me who are in the beginning stages of hair thinning/hair loss and/or have medium to fine hair, I would go with the blue label that still has like 15 DHT blockers but is not so heavy on the hair. As for the rest, well, nutrition wise, testing your vitamin D, iron, zinc, folate & B12 levels to see if you need to specifically supplement with something is not a bad idea. If you’re colouring your hair, a good hair mask for the first 2 washes following your hair appointment will help strengthen your hair & limit the loss of density due to cumulative breakage because colouring is a drying process for your hair. And finally, a good leave in conditioner & a good bonding oil for your ends after a hair wash helps to strengthen your hair health on a regular basis.
This! Also- Routine Wellness shampoo and conditioner are some other good ones. Agree about the vitamins- makes a huge difference. Also, maybe using products best for your hair type. I asked ChatGTP (haha) for best products for type 1A, fine, high-porosity hair & it gave me some good weekly mask recommendations!
@ I’m still using all of it. My hair is growing back and density is coming back. It’s a long process because I have years of damage to repair due to coloring & contracting Covid twice in the past few years.
Deepest condolences for what’s happening in Lebanon right now, Doc. I hope any family and friends you have there are safe and as well as can be expected right now.
This happened to me too, I had so much thick hair and two years of illness made me loose more than half of it. Minoxidil is not working much but I’ll keep trying 😢
Same Sis! Same! I was Maid of Honour in my best friends wedding August 27th 2022. The most gorgeous long blonde thick beautiful hair. Fast Forward 2 years later. Been diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia and lost so much hair I have to wear cheap wigs. I hate going out in public!!!! Hugs to you and all those suffering with hairloss! It is the devil!!! 🫂🙏🏻💕
I have this problem which seems to just get worse over time. Someone said a real silk pillowcase or silk sleeping caps. I haven't tried yet but has anyone had an improvement in frizz and brittle hair using these?
Mixed reasons for hair loss here as well. Oral minoxidil helped me as well. Took 6 months to notice a change. I’ve added oral finasteride now as well because I still have sparse frontal loss. Still waiting for that to improve. I take b12 , D , and iron. Covid infections more times than I can count have also taken their toll. Plus menopause…yay. Best wishes to you and everyone with hair loss. It’s a bummer.
Great to know that Nizoral has side benefits. I use it for scalp issues from time to time…gonna use it more often now. It’s the only “dandruff” style shampoo that doesn’t cause nasty buildup with my hard water.
I have been experiencing hair loss over the past few years (I’m 64 years old) I have been on Rogaine, the men’s version, for the past year. It is definitely helping. I have also incorporated The Ordinary serum for hair density in the am. I tried Nizerol but had the worst allergic reaction of my life. Surprisingly not as bad to my scalp but the itch and burn on my neck lasted a week! I now use Viviscal shampoo and conditioner and they are making my hair look fuller. I now have long silver curls that I am always getting compliments on.
Thanks Dr Shereen, as a 61 year old woman who 1st experienced hair loss 1 1/2 years ago (and just started seeing a dermatologist) I'm extremely grateful that you share your own hair -,loss journey with us ♥️. Am personally waiting for my next appointment to see what's going on. God bless 🙏👌
Thank you for another great video!!!! ❤I saw a video 8 months ago and left a long comment. I was "new" to this whole hairloss topic and I have to say, not much has changed and I'll probably now start oral Minoxidil, even though I really didn't want to initially. The last hair clinic I went to said they'd put me on Minoxidil and something else and 25 sessions of laser therapy. That was were the selling part started again (if you buy now, you safe 900€ and only pay 2000€ but you have to sign until tomorrow!) and I lost all my trust. I read they gave patients free upgrades or extras in return for 5* reviews written in front of them and I think, if they really helped people, they wouldn't need to do that. It's probably the Minoxidil that does the trick and not the expensive laser sessions. I'm now thinking of rather buying the iRestore laser helmet device instead and would love to know what you think about it, as it is really expensive. If you or anyone else here has experience, please share 🙏
I feel so seen when you greet us as little nerds 😂 I’m 54 been on hrt for the last year and half but I can see my hair starting to thin… so the timing of this is great thank you!
@@annem5890 no not at all - on the contrary I think without it I might be seeing more thinning - although I’m not a doctor, that’s just an educated guess! I have a family history of hair thinning, and as someone with quite fine curly hair anyway, always had those little baby hairs at my temples.. I just see those areas broadening a little. I’ve been taking collagen supplements and nutrifol for the last month so I’m going to add the anti dandruff shampoo and see if that makes a difference. I think we have to be prepared to wait at least 3 months before seeing a difference. If I don’t see an improvement I will maybe add minoxidil I’m happy for you to be starting hrt - it was a game changer for me! ☺️
I wa son HRT for six months and my hair was shedding wildly. I stopped HRT and took different vitamins like Vit D, Vitamin b complex and minerals and my hair gre back.
@karziflora I'm hoping that works for me too. Vit d deficient, so on a weekly prescribed high does and working on being consistent with taking my multi vitamins.
I've been using pumpkinseed oil mixed with doterra rosemary and peppermint essential oils and ive seen a lot of growth 🙌 And sometimes i will rub coffee on my scalp. Caffiene stimulates hair follicles
Rosemary with peppermint made me shed definitely less. I don't know if it's genuinely those oils or something else that stopped it without me knowing, but my hair did stop falling out so much after I started using those.
I have stick straight hair which is a mixed blessing, but I cannot use conditioner, it weights my hair down and makes me look as though my hair is thin which is not the case, I have lots of hair. In desperation I tried what my grandmother used to rinse my hair when I was a very small child. Five parts water to one part cider vinegar pour through your hair after washing and messaged into your scalp and then thoroughly rinse. It detangles your hair and does not weigh it down, it doesn't damage your color, and leaves hair soft and shiny. Works for me!
This came right on time! I'm about to start experimenting with rosemary oil for hair growth and it was nice to hear you thoughts on this topic. You rock bro
Thank you and WOW, just WOW! I’ve spent this entire week looking into products to reduce hair thinning in my bangs. I even splurged on a Dyson hair dryer which dries hair without heat (still in the box). I’ve been only using Nizoral since your recommendation months ago. My rogaine remains in its pkg bc I read about the hair shedding which I don’t want. I will try the living proof - sounds good. I’m also going to order Spoiled Child which has rosemary in it. My next splurge is the I restore helmet. About the supplements, will talk to my oncologist. I cannot tell you how surprised I was to wake up to your video. I think that’s called serendipity. I remember you talking about your hair loss months ago and I’ve been watching your hair get thicker and thicker. I’ve wanted to tell you so but it was always off topic. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for helping us Nerds and lightening our days in stressful times. You are a true gem.❤❤❤🥰
so I've been on a mix of finasteride and minoxidil in pill form, I take that daily with biotin and I derma-stamp twice per week with a hair serum - I've started reversing loss on my crown and my hairline is starting to grow back - as someone that's been losing hair since 17 I feel so much better and I can't wait to see where I am in the next year
Sorry about IVF failing, but you had kids, had no idea... Would love to know more about your journey if you ever feel like sharing more! Love your videos!!!
Hi Shereene, i hope your family is well. My husband is lebanese, but we live in other country. Its a tragedy what is happening there... God bless Lebanon and its brave people ❤
I lost a lot of hair due to covid and going thru menopause. Scalp massage or brush with a special oil blend with castor and rosemary oil, along with scalp prp was amazing
My current life at 49 3 years postmemopausal. Angrogenetic alopecia and hirsutism. I hate my life!!!! These videos are life saving.! Thankyou so much @drIdriss. You are also in my thoughts and prayers!🙏🏻🫂💕
I have PCOS & endo among other health problems. My hair is getting thin but I’ve always had a lot of body hair. Minoxidil scares me cuz I don’t want anymore body hair. I wonder how many other gals have the same issues. This video is so timely for me.
@@hope9457 I’ve had pelvic pain for 15 years. About 4 years ago a blood test showed I had high testosterone levels and I was given the diagnosis of PCOS. I also have endo, pelvic congestion syndrome & pudendal neuralgia. It sucks.
Thank you so so much for this video!! I'm 40 and have been struggling with frontal hair loss for years. I tried Viviscal and had success but went through job transitions and stopped buying it- wow did the hair loss come back HARD and FAST so you are absolutely a queen for mentioning first off that this is something we will have to do for the rest of our lives. I went straight to Nutrafol per your recommendation and it's working great but I will go back to Viviscal because I can get 3 months worth for the price of 1 month of Nutrafol so if you haven't tried that one yet- I highly recommend it :) thank you again!! 💕
@@thatmagicalbeingI only used the pills :) had great success! But we can't ever stop them or the hair loss comes back quickly. Hope it works for you too! I saw results in the first month 💕
Thank you for a very informative video! Would love to hear your product recommendations for haircare routine: shampoo, conditioner, styling products, hair masks, oils, etc.
I left oral monoxidil and spironolactone due to severe side effects, palpitations, night sweats headaches etc. Started PRP. Have done 9 so far and going well. I derma roll inbetween treatments at home and seems to be working well.
As someone with a few chronic conditions one if which is autoimmune. Skin care is my escape when my pain levels are extremely high Thank you for the content you put out there ❤️❤️ i would love a video on how chronic/autoimmune illness impacts the skin. I have ehler danlos and ankylosing spondilitis and do have some skin symptoms particularly after i started immune suppressants ❤❤
@@teejay1650 always nice to get recommendations but ive actually tried keto as well as a barage of other diets(all of which i did for atleast 6 to 8 months, these helped me identify foods that aggrevate things that was the only benefit), as well as trying all alternative therapies i have access to in New Zealand. In addition i have three other chronic conditions which play a part aswell.
My hair is fine, but I am a family doctor and get so many patients with this issue, plus my mum so your video is super useful. I sent it to my mum. I also recently saw Dr Sam Ellis just do a video about this topic too, it's great to have such great doctors that also go out of their way to share their knowledge on youtube
Thank you so much for this video. I have been now for approximately 2 years on minoxidil pills. I will never stop! The first 3 to 6 were really frightening. I thought I’d go bald. I had been warned and then comforted by my dermatologist that it is a passing phase. I’m so glad I stuck to it. I have now a lot of hair again absolutely love it! I also experience more hair growth around my mouth and chin. It is annoying but easy to shave it off. Thank you for the tip to use the pill only 4 times a week. I will try it! Thank you so much for informing us!
God Bless you and thank you for the hard work you put into these videos ❤ your an Inspiration that women can do it all!!! I’m coming to see you soon for my dermatologist needs. Besos 😘
Thank you so much for all the information you provide. I have experienced hair loss since my 20’s and now that I’m 51 I’m on a constant lookout for solutions. In the last year I have become very aggressive with my treatments for one I’m not ready to quit the fight. For two, I have two beautiful daughters with beautiful hair that I want to help educate about hair loss and biggest of all prevention. If I had had access to all that we know now in my 20’s I think I would have prevented all that I have lost. So thank you! 🙏🏻
I have used generic minoxidil through Walmart for a year now. I use the liquid twice a day but I also wash my hair every day. Yes it took about four months before I saw results but I could not be more pleased with how much thicker my hair is now. I will never stop using this product!
You’re one of the VERY FEW derms we can trust. Absolutely love the straight forward no bs advice and tips. Whatever you say, we do 😂❤ please can you make a video on why biotin is bad? It’s been pushed by the hair industry for decades!
Thanks. I have lost hair from weight-loss surgery in 2020. I now know what you avoid and look forward to other informative talks. BTW, I did not realize the alternative use for minoxidil. Thanks. 😊
Dr Idriss have you tried natural solutions like making your own rosemary rinse with water or rosemary oil with your carrier oil of choice? I know people who swear by this but I haven't tried it myself. Apparently rosemary helps to stimulate circulation in the area and can lead to more hair growth. I'm not a very DIY person myself so I have been looking for products on the market that contain rosemary but I haven't seen many. Something to explore! Also hope your family and loved ones are safe and well. Your hair is beautiful BTW! If you prefer it being straight rather than naturally wavy you could also try a keratin treatment, or another one I can't remember the name of that is newer and healthier for the hair. You would only need to do it once every 6 months or so and it keeps your hair straight and shiny (so you can eliminate heat treatments). My sister and a good friend get keratin treatments for their curly hair and they swear by it!
Early this year I was losing a ton of hair. After a blood test the doctor decided to give me B12 and Vitamin D supplements. A month after starting my hair loss almost disappeared and it was like that for another 4 months. Around a month after the treatment was over I starting losing a lot of hair and it's still pretty bad. I've used minoxidil years ago and it's really good. I might to back on it, despite hating how sticky my hair gets.
Hi Dr Shereen, thank you for your information. I would advise you look into the endocannabinoid system - by balancing this naturally everyone’s hair growth and quality should definitely improve 🙏🏻
I have super fine, dry, hair and found that there was waaaaaaay too much protein in the products I was using and it was causing a lot of breakage. I have now replaced all of the protein “repair” products for moisture products and have hopefully turned a corner.
Sending you lots of love and support ❤🙏 Thank you for all the great info, as always! Do you have an opinion on how frequently we should wash our hair? I’ve heard conflicting information, with some saying the more frequent washing is best for the health and retention of the hair while others say it’s best to wash only twice a week. Thank you Looking forward to your next video!
Dr Idriss, thank you for this video. I have been watching your videos for years and cannot express my deepest gratitude in sharing your wonderful self and expertise on the internet. I really look up to you and as Lebanese girl from Australia, I feel like I have someone I can relate to. I have been on the fence and so hesitant about taking oral minoxidil for years and think I may give it a go as my dermatologist’s has persistently recommended this. Can I please ask what dose you’re on? And do you take it 4 consecutive nights or do take it every second day? Your response would be so very much appreciated. Kind regards, M (I also had a severe reaction to topical minoxidil and had to stop using it)
I appreciate you sharing your own experience with thinning hair. I’ve only recently noticed huge gaps of hair loss . I’m going through a stressful time right now….i think that may be contributing to my hair loss. I’ve been using Minoxidil for about 4 weeks, consistently every night. I have an appointment with a dermatologist in November. I’m hoping to get the minoxidil pills. Thank you for your help.
I saw the cyperus oil shorts, and I thought huh, that`s very interesting, I would love to hear more science data, I look forward to an update on this, and then (and then!) you say possible LABMUFFIN COLLAB?!? 👀I`m always already up and awake and catch these on Saturday morning when they drop but believe I am setting a whole alarm for next week!🤞🤞🙏🙏 (I`ll be watching regardless, and if your schdules don`t gel in time for next week that collab would be worth the wait)
I’ve had chronic Telogen effluvium for years. I started oral minoxidil January 2023 I lost a lot of hair for 8 weeks then it slowed down. My hair has continued to shed. But I’ve grown new hair so I know I won’t go bald. I have been short of breath for a few years and just been told I have enlarged heart. I’m dreading them telling me to stop the tablet. My hair has grown in, it will never be as thick as it was 20 years ago. It’s not hair loss from PCOS I saw a Dermatologist a month ago it’s chronic TE the hair sample showed. Yes I have hair arms, hair and face, which I shave my face since I use Tretinoin so can’t wax etc.
I hope all is getting better for you!! With regard to hair loss Consideration should be given the laser therapy - it can be expensive but does have benefits.
Thank you so much for this! I'm going to try the Nutrafol. My hair is thick & I've always had a rather strange hairline, but this past year, to me, it looks like it's thinning. My husband, my sister & my daughter think I'm crazy but I see it! I'll be 48 on Halloween & I never thought my hairline would thin. I have zero members of my family with baldness. In fact, my 75 year old Dad has a head of hair that you wouldn't believe! Perhaps it is just me, but I know my hair & I can see it. It really is devastating & somewhat depressing to see my hairline move back & my forehead get bigger. Thanks for the recommendations!
Also minoxidil can have alcohol which leads to drying and irritation. There’s some brands that don’t have it!! Don’t give up on finding one that works for you
Right on time lol as always, just got on tret thanks to you 3 weeks ago once a week and my skins transforming already i love it. thank you and I just got worried for my hair and i needed this!
I didn’t know you can apply the k18 mask directly onto the scalp?? It says it is for repairing damaged hair but nothing about applying on the scalp to increase blood circulation…. It just says to apply from ends to roots! I’m usually very careful of what I put on my scalp Also COLORWOW is a heat protectant!
THANK YOU for mentioning that minoxidil is toxic to dogs and cats❤ it is so important to know!
Yes! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Is it toxic to rabbits?
@@harmonandrews2849I would think so, if it's toxic to dogs and cats I think it's toxic to other fragile pets, it's just that cats and dogs are most common, so people only specify those two. Ik I'm not letting that near my parrots 😅
YES! Almost no where does it state IN BOLD about pets. Anywhere your head touches could harm your pets.. blankets, pillows, clothing. I am losing most of my hair @ 37 and would do almost anything; but harm my pets.
Is Even toxic for humans and give you headaches
I can tell that you are not as bubbly as you usually are and understandably so. I hope that any family or friends you have in Lebanon stay safe.

How toxic is minoxidil to cats and dogs? Is it toxic to them once it’s dry on your head or on an object like a pillow or hat?

To sum it up, HOW you apply is as important as WHAT you apply.
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your tips!
Curious to know about your age and how often you massage your scalp?
@thatmagicalbeing 37. I wash my hair (and massage my scalp) usually every day in the morning. 2-3 times a week I also massage in some scalp cosmetics but I'm not very consistent with this. I had high TSH, hypoglycemia, tetany, and high-stress levels for a long time but around COVID lockdowns I started to sleep longer (as in starting working remotely) which improved my overall health so it's also a factor. But I (and my hairdresser!) noticed a difference after I implemented the changes I wrote about. I hope thet helps!
@@sophiadc Thank you for sharing! Brushing hair (the scalp) helps to stimulate the scalp so massaging it definitely works the same. I don’t brush, wash and putting serum on my hair everyday, I try to but very so often miss a day or so in between. Seeing your experience encourages me there is still hope to grow back some of the losing hair. My friends and I are starting to notice our hair loss in our 30s, and constantly working on the issue. It’s definitely something what age do to us, so we could only do what we could to slow down the process.

"When it comes to medicine there's an art, when it comes to science there's an art. And that's why sometime with scientific things you have to see it through the lens, of not just the scientific information, but also through the lens of the patient and how you're going to make that patient best adhere to a protocol. And that's where the art comes in." Bravo Dr. Well said.
hey shereene idriss, im so sorry that youve had a tough time, i send you the best energy and warmth, its really helpful to watch your videos and you contribute to peoples well being.
U r the most honest and true dermatologist I have ever seen such a informative video this is... Thank you so much
Thank you so much ❤
Kerastase leave in heat protectant is hands down the best. I’m a hairdresser for 13+ years and switched over to be a nurse and now a nurse practitioner for the last year. So you’re speaking my lingo in regards to art and science. Give it a try you won’t regret it. There’s an orange one and a green one. Orange is more hydrating and the green is more for protein and breakage. The product is specifically called thermique
I tired Kerastase shampoo and lost loads of hair with it. Many people have had similar problems with Kerastase.
Would the Thermique benefit me if I never heat style or blow dry? Thanks 💙
I'm watching this video right in time,in the middle of my stress hair loss and all the drama that it brings.
Same
When it started for me I didn’t even want to go to a salon. I was so embarrassed to have thinning hair now I see how silly that was. I used red light therapy and the caffeine shampoos, rosemary oil and dandruff shampoo. All of the at has helped but I never went back to my original hair but it’s better. I will try minoxidil yet I can’t afford to shed any hair at first.
Ladies I think we are all in this together but please don't let it bring you down instead use this as a motivational push and start with your regain hair back journey, it is long but will pay off. I have been adding daily tonic to hair, rosemary shampoo and nizoral alternating massaging hair everyday via tonic using wooden wide comb and avoiding blowdrying as much as possible and 2 times a week oiling hair (my own home made mix of all good oils- rosemary,castor,mint, black seed oil, sesame oil, fenugreek oil and adding actual sage leaves, bay leaves and some cloves if you have hemp seeds throw some in too. I swear by this oil started during covid but was not consistent but was for my mom who was 70 then and by time she passed I promise she had the thickest braid ever. Also taking vitamin E, pumpkin seed oil pills and vitamin D.
Stress can be gone. But once you have hsir loss bc of health probs or hormonal problems it's too hard to fight. I almost cry missing my dense hair and doctors don't understand me. When i see girls with dense and long hair i just don't want to go outside and stay at home all day... but i have university to go.
@@miraalhomoudavoiding blowdry is not a good thing i think. Cause it's not straightening your hair with heat. It just helps your hair to get less frizzy and hinders headaches and even more.
Would you please do a video discussing the male-pattern hair thinning/loss for those of us women who suffer from PCOS & how to address that to regrow hair? Thank you for everything that you do!!😊❤
I'm almost 47 and perimenopausal and prone to hair shedding thanks to hypothyroidism. I don't have thick hair to begin with so I'm always nervous about losing too much hair. I noticed that my hair seemed a little thinner and my hairline seemed to have gotten a little further back. Despite this, my hair still grows quickly and doesn't have breakage, so at least I don't have to deal with those issues.
I started taking Verisol collagen (5 gms of the powder) for my skin and joints three months ago, not really expecting anything for my hair, and, after about 8 weeks, I started to notice that my hair part looked narrower and my hair looked thicker at the roots. The side of my hairline where it had thinned more looks like it's filled in a little, which is exciting. My overall hair quality looks really good lately- just extra shiny and healthy looking. So, that might be worth trying if you have midlife hair thinning.
Which brand?
Can you please tell us the brand?
Verisol collagen powder? Where do you buy it?
Is Verisoll Collagen superior to other Collagen ?
If so, what's in it that males it a better product ?
Thanks

Thank you dr Idriss for not only great tips! (always!), but also being honest about your own journey! You're the real deal!🌸
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for being so honest. You'd think what you went through, you wouldn't have any hair left, but I'm glad you do. I admire your resilience. It makes me realize we all have our crosses to bear.
Everyone’s journey and experiences are different- I’ll just share what I’m doing and works well for me and helps me to at least maintain. I can’t help the hair thats broken off, but I am using the bond repair products and I think they help. I’m focusing on growing new thicker hair also. I increased my protein intake. Work on scalp health with taking omega 3, zinc and vitamin D from supplement and sun bathe for 15 a day (which also helps my mental). I’m using ammonia based hair dye to minimize hair damage- for my root touch ups. Have considered minoxidil, but I am liking and feeling good about this route and want to avoid drugs if I can.
50 y/o peri menopausal, with psoriasis , and fellow doc here. Thank you for sharing and Good luck to all on your hair journey ❤
Great video. I was extremely low in vitamin D for 3 years or more. I was shedding so much I created hair balls on my carpet in the bedroom. I've been taking 3000 IUs for 2 years and my vitamin D hit 400. I'm seeing new growth slowly. I'm post menopause. Can't wait for next week's facial hair seems like they're I lost on my head the more o grew on my face
Careful, that is a very high level. Too much pro hormone D (it is not a vitamin) is harmful.
Your skin is looking the glowiest and smoothest I've ever seen it. Could you make a video of what you have been doing to get such beautiful glass skin?
With everything going on, I want to thank you for tending to your needs, let alone sharing a little piece of Dr Idress with us. Just a reminder that you do not have to do that, but we appreciate when you do. If there's a way for the community to be supportive of you, please let us know. Be well. Or as much as you're able to. 💛
Thank you Shereene. Praying for your beautiful Lebanon and all of your loved ones 🙏🏼❤️🇱🇧
Please take care that’s an awful lot of stress for one person ❤
This was amazing!! More hair loss videos please!
I'm sorry about what's happening to Lebanon. Sincere condolences.
Lmao tf is this comment
As well as Gaza
@@adrianacanavati8212at least Gazans didn't get kidnapped and kept as hostages (including kids and BABIES) for over a year now, like happened to Israel.
If you’re still testing out products to help with hair thinning/hair loss, the Pura d’Or shampoos & their serum specifically targeting hair thinning concerns helped me reduce a great deal the amount of hair I was shedding every day. The original gold label that has 17 DHT blockers is the one I would recommend for those with advanced hair loss and/or coarse hair. Otherwise, for those like me who are in the beginning stages of hair thinning/hair loss and/or have medium to fine hair, I would go with the blue label that still has like 15 DHT blockers but is not so heavy on the hair. As for the rest, well, nutrition wise, testing your vitamin D, iron, zinc, folate & B12 levels to see if you need to specifically supplement with something is not a bad idea. If you’re colouring your hair, a good hair mask for the first 2 washes following your hair appointment will help strengthen your hair & limit the loss of density due to cumulative breakage because colouring is a drying process for your hair. And finally, a good leave in conditioner & a good bonding oil for your ends after a hair wash helps to strengthen your hair health on a regular basis.
This! Also- Routine Wellness shampoo and conditioner are some other good ones. Agree about the vitamins- makes a huge difference. Also, maybe using products best for your hair type. I asked ChatGTP (haha) for best products for type 1A, fine, high-porosity hair & it gave me some good weekly mask recommendations!
are you still using the shampoo and serum you mentioned and how is it going please update us
@ I’m still using all of it. My hair is growing back and density is coming back. It’s a long process because I have years of damage to repair due to coloring & contracting Covid twice in the past few years.
Deepest condolences for what’s happening in Lebanon right now, Doc. I hope any family and friends you have there are safe and as well as can be expected right now.
Having waves that only pop by a beach and look stringy in the city is the validating statement i never knew I needed to hear! Thank you :)
Finalyyyyyy! Thank you. I have been suffering so much despite being "famous" for my hair when I was in my 20s and 30s😢
This happened to me too, I had so much thick hair and two years of illness made me loose more than half of it. Minoxidil is not working much but I’ll keep trying 😢
@@ppyli oh no, I am so sorry. That sounds serious. All the best, I am sure you will get better!
@@HannahShayan-fd2rt thank you 🌷🌷🌷
Same Sis! Same! I was Maid of Honour in my best friends wedding August 27th 2022. The most gorgeous long blonde thick beautiful hair. Fast Forward 2 years later. Been diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia and lost so much hair I have to wear cheap wigs. I hate going out in public!!!! Hugs to you and all those suffering with hairloss! It is the devil!!! 🫂🙏🏻💕
I too was "famous" for my hair!😭
Always so on point Dr Shereene 😍😍. Could you pls also talk on hair frizziness and dry n brittle hair that could be so great too .
I have this problem which seems to just get worse over time. Someone said a real silk pillowcase or silk sleeping caps. I haven't tried yet but has anyone had an improvement in frizz and brittle hair using these?
@@emsyloulou2164It works! You get shiny soft hair if either put a silk hat at night (I prefer that)or a silk pillowcase.
Thanks so much for the info Doc!! For a woman hair is so important it’s your glory
Please make a video about grey hair for both men and women.
Also discuss Prey mature greying of hairs in today's generation
Yees !! They should do some statistics on it cause it's so commun these days , maybe it's because of our diet!!
Just dye it, rather grey than none 🤷♀️
Yes please! I’m getting more and more grays every month. Is there anything we can do to prevent or stop this?
Mixed reasons for hair loss here as well. Oral minoxidil helped me as well. Took 6 months to notice a change. I’ve added oral finasteride now as well because I still have sparse frontal loss. Still waiting for that to improve. I take b12 , D , and iron. Covid infections more times than I can count have also taken their toll. Plus menopause…yay.
Best wishes to you and everyone with hair loss. It’s a bummer.
Women can take finasteride?
Hi how many mg's of oral minoxidil?
Damn, a collab between my 2 favorite skin experts. I honestly can't wait !
Great to know that Nizoral has side benefits. I use it for scalp issues from time to time…gonna use it more often now. It’s the only “dandruff” style shampoo that doesn’t cause nasty buildup with my hard water.
I have been experiencing hair loss over the past few years (I’m 64 years old) I have been on Rogaine, the men’s version, for the past year. It is definitely helping. I have also incorporated The Ordinary serum for hair density in the am. I tried Nizerol but had the worst allergic reaction of my life. Surprisingly not as bad to my scalp but the itch and burn on my neck lasted a week! I now use Viviscal shampoo and conditioner and they are making my hair look fuller. I now have long silver curls that I am always getting compliments on.
This was the best video on this topic I’ve seen. Very informative.
Thanks Dr Shereen, as a 61 year old woman who 1st experienced hair loss 1 1/2 years ago (and just started seeing a dermatologist) I'm extremely grateful that you share your own hair -,loss journey with us ♥️. Am personally waiting for my next appointment to see what's going on. God bless 🙏👌
Thank you for this video! I have PCOS and am starting to see hair loss. It’s so distressing. Going to try all these tips!
Thank you for another great video!!!! ❤I saw a video 8 months ago and left a long comment. I was "new" to this whole hairloss topic and I have to say, not much has changed and I'll probably now start oral Minoxidil, even though I really didn't want to initially.
The last hair clinic I went to said they'd put me on Minoxidil and something else and 25 sessions of laser therapy. That was were the selling part started again (if you buy now, you safe 900€ and only pay 2000€ but you have to sign until tomorrow!) and I lost all my trust. I read they gave patients free upgrades or extras in return for 5* reviews written in front of them and I think, if they really helped people, they wouldn't need to do that. It's probably the Minoxidil that does the trick and not the expensive laser sessions. I'm now thinking of rather buying the iRestore laser helmet device instead and would love to know what you think about it, as it is really expensive. If you or anyone else here has experience, please share 🙏
I feel so seen when you greet us as little nerds 😂
I’m 54 been on hrt for the last year and half but I can see my hair starting to thin… so the timing of this is great thank you!
I am 57 and about to start HRT/ do you think your hair is thinning from the HRT?
@@annem5890 no not at all - on the contrary I think without it I might be seeing more thinning - although I’m not a doctor, that’s just an educated guess! I have a family history of hair thinning, and as someone with quite fine curly hair anyway, always had those little baby hairs at my temples.. I just see those areas broadening a little. I’ve been taking collagen supplements and nutrifol for the last month so I’m going to add the anti dandruff shampoo and see if that makes a difference. I think we have to be prepared to wait at least 3 months before seeing a difference. If I don’t see an improvement I will maybe add minoxidil
I’m happy for you to be starting hrt - it was a game changer for me! ☺️
I wa son HRT for six months and my hair was shedding wildly. I stopped HRT and took different vitamins like Vit D, Vitamin b complex and minerals and my hair gre back.
@karziflora I'm hoping that works for me too. Vit d deficient, so on a weekly prescribed high does and working on being consistent with taking my multi vitamins.
❤❤❤
I hope your family stay safe and peace will come with no terror 🙏🙏🙏
I've been using pumpkinseed oil mixed with doterra rosemary and peppermint essential oils and ive seen a lot of growth 🙌
And sometimes i will rub coffee on my scalp. Caffiene stimulates hair follicles
Does this make your scalp oily? How often do you use this?
Rosemary with peppermint made me shed definitely less. I don't know if it's genuinely those oils or something else that stopped it without me knowing, but my hair did stop falling out so much after I started using those.
@@Ilive_420with what do you mix rosemary oil because it is very strong or have a strong smell
What's the ratio
@@chosenandblessed9040😂No one is going to reply. Ask Gemini!
I have stick straight hair which is a mixed blessing, but I cannot use conditioner, it weights my hair down and makes me look as though my hair is thin which is not the case, I have lots of hair. In desperation I tried what my grandmother used to rinse my hair when I was a very small child. Five parts water to one part cider vinegar pour through your hair after washing and messaged into your scalp and then thoroughly rinse. It detangles your hair and does not weigh it down, it doesn't damage your color, and leaves hair soft and shiny. Works for me!
can’t wait for dr idriss and lab muffin collab
This came right on time! I'm about to start experimenting with rosemary oil for hair growth and it was nice to hear you thoughts on this topic. You rock bro
So sorry for all your struggles. I so enjoy your videos and wish you all the best. Thank you for always giving us such good information.
Thank you and WOW, just WOW! I’ve spent this entire week looking into products to reduce hair thinning in my bangs. I even splurged on a Dyson hair dryer which dries hair without heat (still in the box). I’ve been only using Nizoral since your recommendation months ago. My rogaine remains in its pkg bc I read about the hair shedding which I don’t want. I will try the living proof - sounds good. I’m also going to order Spoiled Child which has rosemary in it. My next splurge is the
I restore helmet. About the supplements, will talk to my oncologist. I cannot tell you how surprised I was to wake up to your video. I think that’s called serendipity. I remember you talking about your hair loss months ago and I’ve been watching your hair get thicker and thicker. I’ve wanted to tell you so but it was always off topic.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for helping us Nerds and lightening our days in stressful times. You are a true gem.❤❤❤🥰
so I've been on a mix of finasteride and minoxidil in pill form, I take that daily with biotin and I derma-stamp twice per week with a hair serum - I've started reversing loss on my crown and my hairline is starting to grow back - as someone that's been losing hair since 17 I feel so much better and I can't wait to see where I am in the next year
If it's in pill form won't you grow hair on the rest of your body?
Sorry about IVF failing, but you had kids, had no idea... Would love to know more about your journey if you ever feel like sharing more! Love your videos!!!
Hi Shereene, i hope your family is well.
My husband is lebanese, but we live in other country.
Its a tragedy what is happening there...
God bless Lebanon and its brave people ❤
I lost a lot of hair due to covid and going thru menopause. Scalp massage or brush with a special oil blend with castor and rosemary oil, along with scalp prp was amazing

I have PCOS & endo among other health problems. My hair is getting thin but I’ve always had a lot of body hair. Minoxidil scares me cuz I don’t want anymore body hair. I wonder how many other gals have the same issues. This video is so timely for me.
The body hair gets worse with minoxidil, it did for me.

In addition i have three other chronic conditions which play a part aswell.

I have been doing peptide therapy with my dermatologist, I think it has improved hair density and reduced hairloss.
My hair is fine, but I am a family doctor and get so many patients with this issue, plus my mum so your video is super useful. I sent it to my mum. I also recently saw Dr Sam Ellis just do a video about this topic too, it's great to have such great doctors that also go out of their way to share their knowledge on youtube
Dr Idriss, what about red light treatment - please address that next time?
Thank you so much for this video. I have been now for approximately 2 years on minoxidil pills. I will never stop! The first 3 to 6 were really frightening. I thought I’d go bald. I had been warned and then comforted by my dermatologist that it is a passing phase. I’m so glad I stuck to it. I have now a lot of hair again absolutely love it! I also experience more hair growth around my mouth and chin. It is annoying but easy to shave it off. Thank you for the tip to use the pill only 4 times a week. I will try it!

Dr Idriss, bless you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much for all the information you provide. I have experienced hair loss since my 20’s and now that I’m 51 I’m on a constant lookout for solutions. In the last year I have become very aggressive with my treatments for one I’m not ready to quit the fight. For two, I have two beautiful daughters with beautiful hair that I want to help educate about hair loss and biggest of all prevention. If I had had access to all that we know now in my 20’s I think I would have prevented all that I have lost. So thank you! 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for this! Would love to see a collaboration between you and Lab Muffin!
YES!!!!
I have used generic minoxidil through Walmart for a year now. I use the liquid twice a day but I also wash my hair every day. Yes it took about four months before I saw results but I could not be more pleased with how much thicker my hair is now. I will never stop using this product!
@beckywagner3973 Hi there. When you say you took the liquid twice a day are you referring to topical or oral minoxidil? TY❤❤
Love and best wishes from Europe ❤
Thanks for always leading with education. 💜

You’re one of the VERY FEW derms we can trust. Absolutely love the straight forward no bs advice and tips. Whatever you say, we do 😂❤ please can you make a video on why biotin is bad? It’s been pushed by the hair industry for decades!
Most dermatologists are well trained and trustworthy.
Thanks. I have lost hair from weight-loss surgery in 2020. I now know what you avoid and look forward to other informative talks. BTW, I did not realize the alternative use for minoxidil. Thanks. 😊
Dr Idriss have you tried natural solutions like making your own rosemary rinse with water or rosemary oil with your carrier oil of choice? I know people who swear by this but I haven't tried it myself. Apparently rosemary helps to stimulate circulation in the area and can lead to more hair growth. I'm not a very DIY person myself so I have been looking for products on the market that contain rosemary but I haven't seen many. Something to explore!
Also hope your family and loved ones are safe and well.
Your hair is beautiful BTW! If you prefer it being straight rather than naturally wavy you could also try a keratin treatment, or another one I can't remember the name of that is newer and healthier for the hair. You would only need to do it once every 6 months or so and it keeps your hair straight and shiny (so you can eliminate heat treatments). My sister and a good friend get keratin treatments for their curly hair and they swear by it!
Early this year I was losing a ton of hair. After a blood test the doctor decided to give me B12 and Vitamin D supplements. A month after starting my hair loss almost disappeared and it was like that for another 4 months. Around a month after the treatment was over I starting losing a lot of hair and it's still pretty bad. I've used minoxidil years ago and it's really good. I might to back on it, despite hating how sticky my hair gets.
Hi Dr Shereen, thank you for your information. I would advise you look into the endocannabinoid system - by balancing this naturally everyone’s hair growth and quality should definitely improve 🙏🏻
I have super fine, dry, hair and found that there was waaaaaaay too much protein in the products I was using and it was causing a lot of breakage. I have now replaced all of the protein “repair” products for moisture products and have hopefully turned a corner.
I went thru that and then had the same issue with the ‘moisture’ products and am having some luck with just using ‘volumizing’ products. Best wishes!
Sending you lots of love and support ❤🙏 Thank you for all the great info, as always! Do you have an opinion on how frequently we should wash our hair? I’ve heard conflicting information, with some saying the more frequent washing is best for the health and retention of the hair while others say it’s best to wash only twice a week. Thank you
Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for sharing your extensive research! You're the best!!
Aw thank you for watching! 🫶
Dr Idriss, thank you for this video. I have been watching your videos for years and cannot express my deepest gratitude in sharing your wonderful self and expertise on the internet. I really look up to you and as Lebanese girl from Australia, I feel like I have someone I can relate to. I have been on the fence and so hesitant about taking oral minoxidil for years and think I may give it a go as my dermatologist’s has persistently recommended this. Can I please ask what dose you’re on? And do you take it 4 consecutive nights or do take it every second day? Your response would be so very much appreciated.
Kind regards, M (I also had a severe reaction to topical minoxidil and had to stop using it)
I appreciate you sharing your own experience with thinning hair. I’ve only recently noticed huge gaps of hair loss . I’m going through a stressful time right now….i think that may be contributing to my hair loss. I’ve been using Minoxidil for about 4 weeks, consistently every night. I have an appointment with a dermatologist in November. I’m hoping to get the minoxidil pills. Thank you for your help.
My heart and prayers go to you. Lebanon will be free InshaAllah ❤️

I’ve had chronic Telogen effluvium for years. I started oral minoxidil January 2023 I lost a lot of hair for 8 weeks then it slowed down. My hair has continued to shed. But I’ve grown new hair so I know I won’t go bald. I have been short of breath for a few years and just been told I have enlarged heart. I’m dreading them telling me to stop the tablet. My hair has grown in, it will never be as thick as it was 20 years ago. It’s not hair loss from PCOS I saw a Dermatologist a month ago it’s chronic TE the hair sample showed. Yes I have hair arms, hair and face, which I shave my face since I use Tretinoin so can’t wax etc.
Hello Dr. Shereene Idriss, good morning, I was looking forward to this day 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I hope all is getting better for you!! With regard to hair loss Consideration should be given the laser therapy - it can be expensive but does have benefits.
you’re my fav dermatologist ❤
Have you tried light therapy for the scalp to promote hair growth?
I'd be interested in your thoughts abt. Light therapy for skin and scalp.
Thank you so much for this! I'm going to try the Nutrafol. My hair is thick & I've always had a rather strange hairline, but this past year, to me, it looks like it's thinning. My husband, my sister & my daughter think I'm crazy but I see it! I'll be 48 on Halloween & I never thought my hairline would thin. I have zero members of my family with baldness. In fact, my 75 year old Dad has a head of hair that you wouldn't believe!
Perhaps it is just me, but I know my hair & I can see it. It really is devastating & somewhat depressing to see my hairline move back & my forehead get bigger.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Also minoxidil can have alcohol which leads to drying and irritation. There’s some brands that don’t have it!! Don’t give up on finding one that works for you
This is the best video ever for hair loss.
Right on time lol as always, just got on tret thanks to you 3 weeks ago once a week and my skins transforming already i love it. thank you and I just got worried for my hair and i needed this!
I tried 6 PRP treatments and it didn’t do anything, it was painful and thousands of dollars.
I didn’t know you can apply the k18 mask directly onto the scalp?? It says it is for repairing damaged hair but nothing about applying on the scalp to increase blood circulation…. It just says to apply from ends to roots! I’m usually very careful of what I put on my scalp
Also COLORWOW is a heat protectant!
Red light therapy helped me with hair loss alot!!!
