- 👩🏾⚕️Hair loss is a distressing experience. If you are experiencing hair loss please don’t suffer in silence. There are many different causes of hair loss and early diagnosis and treatment is extremely important.
👩🏾⚕️If you are seeing or feeling changes with your hair/scalp please don’t delay in seeing a dermatologist for consultation.
📝Here are some tips to prepare for a dermatologist appointment for hair loss.
👉🏾 Prepare to review and discuss your medical history and your family medical history (chronic conditions, surgeries, child birth etc) we need this information to get a full picture of what may be contributing to your hair loss.
👉🏾 Bring a copy of your latest bloodwork and a list of medications and/or supplements you are currently taking or used in the past. We will likely still order additional bloodwork but this gives us a good starting point.
👉🏾 Keep a hair journal with both notes of your symptoms (itching/burning/tenderness/fatigue/stress/fever) but also photos to document your journey. Please be ready to share photos of your scalp over the last few years with your derm. This helps us identify potential triggers.
👉🏾Be prepared to show your entire scalp for evaluation. We can’t not see under braids/sewn-ins/ etc. odds are you waited awhile for your appointment please make the most of it by coming fully prepared for complete evaluation possible biopsy, and treatment.
👉🏾 Bring a list or photos of the products you are using on your hair. Including any chemicals (we need to know the last time your relaxed and if natural we need to know any hair treatments used in the past).
👉🏾Bring your Q’s written down or in the notes section of your phone. This is an emotional journey and you may forget something you wanted to ask.
👉🏾Most important don’t feel embarrassed we are here to help you and will work closely together as a team to get you on the best treatment plan for your particular diagnosis.

Thank you for this Dr. Alexis. Our community needed this video.
You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful!
@@DrAlexisStephens what about DHT blockers for hair growth do they work?
@@DrAlexisStephens for people who have problems swallow pills. Are they gummies with the same ingredient as Nutrafol?
Had surgery September 2021 and edges on right side fell out.
Hey after having a chemical treatment from a salon. I'm facing obsene amount of hairloss. My hair were severly damaged. I have seen dermatologists. They are prescribing minoxidil. However, I'm looking for natural remedy. I can see hair growth after 4 months. But continues shedding is also there. It has triggered chronic talogen effluvium. Have you come accross anyone who faced this. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
Stop listening to all the lies people live because they're jealous !!!;
Not all dermatologists are created equal when it comes to hair loss. I saw one who basically said you're on your own and not much he could do. But then I found a trichologist, a scalp expert, who has been working with me and I'm having great results. My bald spots are growing back and my hair in general is growing.
Hello was reading ur comment and was interested in the name of the doctor and the location...
I'd personally skip men, go to a woman who has the experience and understands
Sharticia Gomez, I'm glad that you're connected with someone who's able to give you the help you need!
@@laylor4360 for me it’s not just women but women of color ..It might sound bias but at times I’ve found it easier to communicate with someone who looks like me and may have similar experiences
Amen. I’m on my 3rd dermatologist now. I feel helpless.
After childbirth, I noticed my hairfall but I stayed calm. I acted to to control it. I opted for a health-centered strategy.
I prioritized my diet, eating nutrient-rich foods, specially those high in Folic Acid and Protein.
I worked out regularly and engaged in meditation for stress management.
I avoided styles that pull on my hair and quit using heated styling tools to prevent hair damage.
I even started using LittleExtra's Coconion shampoo and hair oil combined with a neem wood comb.
The outcome was hairfall control and the recovery of my confidence.
Two months of using the littleextrra cooconioon kit has led to reduced hair fall. Weekly application gives my hair shine and strength. I recommend it to anyone with hair fall concerns.
I can say that Littleeextra kit has made a noticeable impact on my hair. With consistent use, I've seen a significant improvement in density, especially in previously thin areas.
Your voice is so calm and reassuring and I'm absolutely obsessed with your channel! Thank you for the info. It's very much appreciated 🙏🏾 ☺️
Beautiful voice, face and energy ✨️
I know right🙂 her voice make you just wants to do whatever she recommends 🤩
Thank you so much!
@@DrAlexisStephens Yes you have a beautiful soul, soothing voice & demeanour God bless you Dr Alexis. May He guide you towards His Righteous path 🙏 Ameen
So glad I caught mine early! No braids or cornrows ever again! It took me 2 years to figure it out on my OWN without a doctor (although I am a nurse). Everytime I got box braids the back of my hair would completely fall out! SO No tension styles and the only thing I do now is half wigs AWAY from the edges! Black Sisters it’s not worth being bald to look cute
Ok I lied I did fat lose cornrows under my crochet for vacation and so far so good
What about scars? Do you have them? How do I get rid of the itch?
Same here. I've significantly reduced my braids. I do loose cornrows now. Caught mine early too. Genetically predisposed but it's mostly this traction from always braiding.
I agree I'm back to half wigs too
Omgoodness. She was my dermatologist when I lived in Florida. Dr. Stephen's is such a great doctor. She actively listens and she's proactive with creating a treatment plan. In an era where bedside manner has taken a backseat, she's a breath of fresh air.
Where in Florida is she located? What is her full name? How is your hairgrowth going today?
@@dionneshaw9127 She's in Coral Springs. Her name is Dr. Alexis Stephens. I'm not in Florida anymore, but my hair is growing. I have alopecia areata so I have to be mindful of stress. She's a great physician who really cares about her patients and takes the time to answer all your questions and provides you with options.
Thank you Dr. Alexis. Your video has given me hope because my primary doctor and dermatologist have dismissed my hair loss concern for years but now I know the name of my hair loss. I will begin again on this journey.
I was misdiagnosed with CCCA, he completed NO blood tests. Turned out I was extremely vitamin deficient. Thank god I took my health into my own hands and researched. Hair is recovering 😊.
Lies
@@Duhbaby2348h umm what?
What are the vitamins?
@@StacyBrown2 I was both iron and Vitamin D deficient. Also you should check if you have an H.pylori infection, hairloss can be secondary to peptic ulcer damage. I hope this helps
Excellent presentation. Thank you Dr. Alexis. Love your videos. Very educational.
Thank you Dr. Alexis it is always helpful to come to your channel for information. I appreciate you 😊🙏🏾
Very thorough review of hair loss and Dr. Alexis seems quite knowledgeable. Thanks for giving us all the facts.
You have the calmest voice I've heard so far on TH-cam! I need to find a great dermatologist here in Dallas
Best Advice thus far!! Thank you for providing sound advice and professional guidance for people of color. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video Queen. This was super helpful☺️. I’m so happy I came across your video. I am about to be hooked.
Excellent video, thank you so much! This problem is making me anxious but your soft voice is so reassuring! 💖
Brilliant tutorial, it really helps to get that perfection you're aiming for. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Dr. Stephens, you are blessing your people with these life transforming tips🙏🏾
Dr Alexis, could you please do a video related to how iron deficiency related to fibroids etc affects hair loss and possible treatments we can talk to our dermatologist about? ❤
Happy Sunday Dr V. I hope you had a good weekend. Such good information and thank you! 💕
Thank you for this Dr, I really appreciate you 👏🏽
At the age of 29, I suffered from hair loss. It was shocking and heartbreaking after taking good care of my long curly hair. I had to cut it off. It’s been about a year and some of my hair is growing back but not entirely. It’s still falling more I would like. Thank you for this video !
This is me now. My beautiful thick curly hair that grabbed everyone’s attention is gone 😭😭
This was very informative. Thank you, Dr. Stephens!
Yes this was indeed very helpful. Thank you so much.
Very informative. I have never had a dematologist look at my entire scalp or take blood test. But, they did look at it with some type of special light.
Thank for not “beating around the bush” with the answers to so many questions. Your knowledge and honesty, I found to be extremely helpful. I shall make it my goal to get to a board certified Dermatologist. Thank you again 🙏🏾
Thanks so much for sharing this. My mom saw a dermatologist for hair loss and even after a scalp biopsy, all they told her that it was probably irreversible, but she could try rogaine. Needless to say, she was very discouraged and does not want to go back to that particular office. This video gives me a tool to encourage her to go to someone else. Thanks so much.
DONT GIVE UP !!!!
Wishing your mom the best. Some doctors can be so cruel. I've ran into many. Even rude hairdressers. It can be hard
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a consumable format
Thank you! I just came across your videos there so
Helpful your voice is so soothing I could listen to you all day’! ❤
you are so gorgeous. and your voice is so calming. wow. you just radiate such a light ☺️🥰✨
Thank you. I've recently been diagnosed with CCCA after getting a scalp biopsy. Never thought about stress being a cause. Love your content.
Hi this what I have to
Are you taking this for this ? Do it help to re grow your hair back?
What is CCCA ?
@@dionneshaw9127 it is scarring Alopecia. It's one of the last types of hair loss she mentioned in the video.
I’m going to save this video. Thorough but not overwhelming. And the way you rattled off those words was amazing. Excellent job!🤩🤩🤩
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!! I love your videos and they’re also so helpful! I just wanna ask if you know any tips or have information for hair loss caused by PCOS
Thank you for these valuable tips I will pass this information on to my friend who is experiencing hair loss.
New Sub. I love how you get straight to the point and calming. Very calming!!
Thank you Dove

Thank you. Very informative. Much needed.
This was super helpful! Thank you!
your voice and oration is so soothing!
Thank you for much for the thorough information!
Thank you so much for the information 👍🏾🧡
Thank you! This was really helpful.
she has a comforting voice. Makes me sleepy.
This video is so helpful! I have had thick hair my whole life, lately it sheds like crazy even though I have a lot off hair. My edges have been thin since I was a kid because of tight braiding.
Dr Alexis have you ever considered doing a clinical study regarding fibroids attributing to hair loss? It hasn’t
been done and please consider. Fibroids pull so much from the body and most women don’t even know they have them and those who do never think to correlate the two.
Yes I agree! Pcos as well they go hand in hand and I’m surprised these were not brought up.
I have been battling with my fibroids and is at the same time I noticed overall hair loss 😢 and still to this day.
Wow, I’ve never heard of fibroids being connected to hair loss. I’ve dealt with fibroids most of my life, and hair loss for the past 10 years. I would love to see the results of that research.
Yes I’ve lost about 50% of hair due to fibroids and anemia it’s caused and this Provera medication the worst I’ve experienced with hair loss.
I ❤ you and your content! Where have you been all my menopausal life? 😂 I am so glad I found your channel. So much of this info confirms what I am already doing.
Thanks Dr.Stephens my hair is thick but without conditions or deep protein conditions shedding of hair remains a problem next follow up in July I will consult my dermatologists.
Thank you for this informative video - I can’t wait until my appointment
Thank You for the education Dr. Alexis...
Your voice is so calming.
Thanks for discussing different forms of hair loss and what to do to get ready for an appointment with a dermatologist.

Thank you for what you do. I am going to try your suggestions.
Thank you for this information. You explain things so well. 😊
Thank you for this video!!🥺
I'm 30 and have been losing hair since I was about 22. My scalp is now visible. I went to a dermatologist and he said its genetic nothing I can do. He asked me no questions. He just looked for about 30 seconds. I have not gone back. My hairloss has been detrimental to my mental health. Doctors do not care. Ive been so discouraged.
Have you went to another doctor? Are you stressed? How did the doctor know it was genetic? I think you need a second opinion
I'm sad for you but don't give up hope. I pray that you should not loose anymore hair and not loose one more.thank God
Try rosemary oil (if not pregnant) diluted with olive oil twice a week .. leave in for two hours and then wash .
Same thing happened to me. Now, 30 years later, I started using minoxidil 5% plus finasteride topically, and I'm seeing hair growth. I can only imagine how much better my hair would be if I had started back then. Do your research, then go see the derm armed with the information. You need to be an aggressive advocate for yourself. It's not easy, but you're worth it.
Thanks for the info Dr. Stephens❤
Love the video. I am now a subscriber. Very informative. Keep it up.
Tis has been extremely helpful. Thank you
Alexis, thanks for breaking down alopecia so clearly! Your insights on different types and the importance of early diagnosis are invaluable. I appreciate the actionable tips.
Thank you for the information.
Dr. Alexis is the best, such smoothing video. My hair lining is thinning I will try the products she recommends.
Thank for this videos
I have been experiencing this for 5years now. Currently I shave my hair completely. My own start every November December.
It works for me. When I ran out I purchased Kirkland’s brand but that one didn’t work.
I have alopecia where I get bald patches on my head. I also have general overall hair loss.'Amy Grow' herbal hair oil helped to stop the hair from falling out. I can see new baby hair growth on the patches at my head.
I got my hair back in some months.
What works for you?
Well done Dr. Great info…🌺
I found the courage to watch this and grateful i did! So helpful and informative. Now I'm soooo going to make that appointment for myself cause stressing about my hair isn't helping. Thank u soooo much🤗

Thanks for the information, i have been stressed for the past 3 years being a matured student but is all over now and i can see less hair shedding now, i need to take my hair very serious now
Hi Dr Alexis! Can you please share with us which skin peels you recommended for women of color who are higher on the Fitzpatrick scale. There’s a lot of confusing information out there. Thanks for considering this!
Thanks as my mum and l suffer from hair loss!!❤️❤️
Thank you, because of this video, I went to a dermatologist today.
I wish I had this info years ago. Where I live there is ONE dermatologist that works with black women's hair. The appointment was 10 months out, but I was blessed to get in on a cancellation. A scalp biopsy was taken and I am waiting for the results and treatment plan. I lost hand fulls of hair post covid 2020, and menopause is another factor. Thank you for the video.
How was the biopsy? What did they say?
Great information, thank you.
Love love love...thank you Doctor Stephens for this helpful and insightful video 💞

Yes. That is so true. Thank you so much.
I am dealing with very dry itchy scalp and sting. I think it's both my scalp and hair. Hair is falling out in chunks, dry and brittle. All over my shirt and/or pillow. I'm not seeing dandruff. Just my hair everywhere. Tried cutting it all off and using other products that didn't work. Seeing your video will take me in the next direction. I am so glad I came across your video. I didn't know what else to do.
You sound so soothing, it’s so lovely!
Thank you!
It’s like you knew exactly what I needed! This postpartum is killer on my hairline 😭
Mines as well after two kids within 7 yrs. Hair loss, dead ends, I cut about two inches within this year after having my second
Try head massages with coconut or olive oil, and almonds try eating almonds. My grandmother told me. It helped. Hope it helps. 🥺💚
My youngest is 9 and my hairline still hasn’t filled in. I’ve been told it’s probably permanent. I’m heartbroken. I can’t even put my hair in a ponytail, bun, or any other updo.
VERY INFORMATIVE. KEEP UP THE GOOD VIDEOS 🤗
Can you make a video on Safe products for Acne and Hyperpigmentation while pregnant (safe ingredients and non-safe ones for face and body)... Thanks! love ur videos!
Thank you for the video, Dr. Alexis
Glad it was helpful!
May I humbly suggest having your thyroid examined. I moved out the US to a country with healthier more affordable food and less stress. Within a year my bald spot grew 6.5in due to splits ins trimmed to 5. But just knowing my hair is so much healthier is a huge relief.
This was definitely a great video.
What a sweet young lady! Thanks for the advice! Can you do a video on analyzing the shampoo Fortaro and it's claims ?
Thank you so much, Dr.!!!!
Great video excellent information
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Doc ❤️
thank you 😊 so informative and reassuring .
Glad it was helpful!
Very calming voice ⭐️💛
Dr. Stephens
Thank you for all the valuable information. I have a skin question. Is it possible to use revision revox line relaxer and tretinoin together?
Hello Dr. Stephens! Thank you so much for the informative video. I’m interested in purchasing an at home device for the LED light therapy due to the fact that according to my light research it takes 3-6 months to see results and I’d like to do it in the convenience of my home. I wanted a device I could use to stimulate hair growth but also to get some of the benefits of blue and red light therapy. There are so many of these devices on the market so I was wondering if there are any led light therapy devices you’d recommend that are capable of delivering the hair growth stimulation, anti aging and acne control properties?
Rosemary oil has helped me tremendously. My hair has grown back in places where it was really thin.
How often do you use rosemary oil? Do you mix the rosemary oil with another oil?
in what period of time? consistency is the key?🙂
@@lorettayoung3088 I mix it with grapeseed oil and use it every night. I have been using it for six months.
@@leasah1197 in what ratio do u mix? and do you shampoo daily in the morning
I started using rosemary oil recently along with lavender oil and I noticed a big improvement. When I was transitioning into menopause my hair stop growing. I did a low hair cut 2 years ago and decide to let it grow back but with the help of the rosemary, I notice a lot of hair growth.
Being a aesthetician I watch all your videos. Thank you because I have learn so much from you. Can’t thank you enough 🙏🏿
So happy to hear this! Thank you!
best video ever on alopecia.
I have an appointment next month. It's not hair loss other scalp issues. I'll make sure to take notes and pictures of my products. Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.
I just found this channel, very informative and easy to follow. Can you please talk about milia
She’s sooo pretty. Wow, doc!

I'm just proud to see you .
