Thank you so much for making this video. I am going to have my mom watch it, I think it will help her a lot. Thank you. Also, just know that you are so beautiful.
This was my MOST emotional video to film. I Never thought I would. If I can help 1 person not feel so alone then I did my job. Please thumbs up 👍 this video and comment. Please share this video. Especially if you know someone who is dealing with hair loss ❤
Just wanted to tell you about @AlexandriaRyan I've learn so much from her about helping grow thicker hair. My thinning hair is due to a Total Hysterectomy at 44.
Anne, thank you for being so brave, I can't imagine what you've been through all these years. I'm sure you must be helping someone else in the beauty land. You look so pretty on all of your videos. God Bless you. 🥰
Hi..my name is Patty…You are so sweet…Anne you could shave your head and still look gorgeous..I truly mean that..I was told that putting your hair in a ponytail especially to tight can cause a lot of hair loss..so I started braiding it loosely..my hair gets tangled really easy (being curly) especially at night..the difference was night and day. 😊👍🏻❤️
Thank you for making a video like this. As someone who's staying to lose large amounts of hair due to hormones, age, thyroid, MS, etc, I super appreciate seeing this. You're so frigging real and down to earth. And know- you have helped this person today 🤗💜
I respect you for your courage to talk about this, Anne. Forty years ago I started losing my hair, I have hardly any left now in my 60’s. Never wore it down, dreaded leaving the house, started wearing baseball caps. Then I discovered toppers, and they changed my life, Anne. Try a low density, human hair one from Uniwigs. Just clip on and go, best thing ever! God Bless.
You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. To be vulnerable like that on video so you can help someone else takes real courage. I have problems with my teeth and it's the one thing I'm very self conscious and embarrassed about. People automatically assume I was a drug addict or just have bad personal hygiene but it has nothing to do with either. Bad teeth runs on my dad's side. I don't smile in pictures and am terrified of being on video. It's the reason I could never imagine doing youtube. I don't know if I could ever have the courage to let the world see. I have an emense amount of respect for you and the courage this video took.
I'm so proud of you! That took a lot! You just helped so many people. There is so many people who suffer hair loss even temporary. Now you can do those hair promotions for the real hair. I'm always interested in see hair videos. My hair is fine but I've suffered hair thinning at different times in my life due to surgery, medications , a salon that fried my hair and my autoimmune so hair videos are always nice. I just want you to know that you are beautiful!
In May of 2021 I went into liver failure, was hospitalized for over a month. Almost died. The stress of all of that, plus the liver disease caused my hair to shed horribly. My hair was never really thick but I had a lot of it. I lost probably 80% of my hair. It was devastating. It was harder on me than being told I need a liver transplant, that I only had a 30% chance of living a year. I don't think people who haven't lost their hair understand how much heartbreak comes with it. I bought some cheap wigs from Amazon for when I went out but I didn't even want my husband or parents to see my hair. I had less hair than you at the worst of it. I'd lose handfuls at a time. It's finally starting to grow back but I'm still horribly self conscious. Thank you for sharing this. I know how hard it was. I'm proud of you for having this much courage. You're a beautiful person, inside & out. ❤
I feel this!! When I went through chemo and list all of my hair, it was absolutely more devastating to me than the "you might die" part of the process. People who haven't experienced these sorts of things don't understand how it can make you feel. And women especially (not saying men don't!) since we are "judged" based on looks by society. I'm glad you made it through and are still here! 💜
I know that was a very difficult topic for you. As a hairdresser for almost 40 years I can definitely tell you your not alone. I'm proud of you. This is your turn to thrive and be your authentic self!!🤗💓
I have very thin hair as well, and I always try to get a lot of volume out of it so it looks like I have more than I actually do have. and though I don't suffer from Alopecia, I have decided to stop colouring it and much like you, haven't been to a hairdresser in over 4 years, cut my own hair and almost always have it in a ponytail. The ponytails you have look great, and I'm going to look for something similar online. Thank you for posting and sharing this Anne, it truly means a lot and I know it's going to help so many women with similar issues. Bless you for putting yourself out there for all to see ❤ and there is Nothing stupid about this, nothing, that took a lot of courage. Love you Anne!!
Honey you are beautiful as hell. And it’s not because your hair in any way. Your beautiful because of YOU inside shining out so bright! Keep slaying queen 👸🏽 we love you
I’m balling Anne. I am going through what you have been going through. No one understands the depression it has caused me. I feel so horrible. Im losing hair like crazy and have been trying to do everything right. 😭😭😭
It's not as uncommon as you would think. More women wear wigs than people realize. When I was in beauty school, a lot of women came in looking for styles that would help their thinning hair and they'd still leave with their wigs on sometimes! Nioxin can help, but confidence is key. I have super super thin hair too. I shaved my head a few years ago and it has grown back a little nicer, but not much lol, I think it just came in maybe slightly healthier. You ladies are not alone!!!
Anne I’m so proud of you! This video had to be hard for you, but I also have thinning hair due to hormones so I get it. It definitely hurts a woman’s self confidence. I love you and appreciate you sharing your story!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this. It's so important in this community to show that you don't have to be "perfect". Sharing your vulnerability is hard but knowing that you'll help someone is such a rewarding feeling. Proud of you!
❤thankyou for your video. I pulled my hair out for years. Kindof weird, so i wore wigs. In 2018 i found out i had stage 2 breast cancer. Surgery ❤chemo and radiation. I only lost all of it when i started radiation treatment. I was completely bald. My scalp hurt. I didnt want to wear a wig anymore. So now after 4 plus years im cancer free. Praise the Lord. 😊😊 Im praying for you as your being transparent. You have beautiful hair. You are a beautiful woman. When my hair grew back it was darker and curlier. The desire to pull my hair out has mostly gone now. So you are an inspiration to all if us.❤😊
I don't know if you have ever read about red light therapy but it has been shown to help with hair loss when nothing else would. Please just take a minute to google it and see. I know this was emotional for you but it had to be a big relief as well. Thank you for sharing something so personal.
You look Beautiful no matter what you do with your hair. It seems that had to be tough. You did extremely well!! It isn't an easy thing to share, I can only imagine. Hugs from California 🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing this. My hair thinning has been a source of depression for me for over a year. It's gotten bad enough that I finally saw the doctor and got a referral to the dermatologist but I already know the problem is my epilepsy meds. I've tried everything else except calling the neurologist and attempting to switch my meds, which is scary for obvious reasons. I am not opposed to wearing hair pieces at all, I just fear making the drastic change at work. I might not have a choice eventually. I don't think people realize how emotionally hard this is. It just feels so cruel.
I'm 67yrs old, and I feel you. My hair is very thin. I tried wigs, too hot. When I brush my hair out, my brush is full! It is, embarrassing! I want a pixie cut, but scared to go to Super Cuts. (I can't afford the "Beauty Salons") I cry, too....
I’ve had alopecia areata for nine years now, we as women need to open up about our hair loss, it’s not just men… I think many more women than we realize are suffering from it and it’s so great when someone opens up about it to help others.
I know it had to be incredibly hard to show your hair but know that your courage has impacted many of us to know we are not alone and female hair loss is more common than we think
Girl, I'm so embarrassed about my thinning hair. I know this wasn't easy for you to share, but you really helped me!!! Thank you! I'm going to look for ponytail and other hair pieces to use. In the summer, I can handle a ponytail and then winter, maybe go with a full wig. Thanks again Anne! Love ya! ❤
You said that you’d be happy to help just one person…well, that one person is me. I’m also sure that you’ve helped many others. I’m so proud of you for being so vulnerable. I know this was difficult for you. I would love to see a trip to the hair store and/or a video of you trying multiple wigs and/or ponytails. My hair has been thinning/receding over the past several years and I’ve been really self-conscious about it…I’ve looked at ponytails online but never knew how to use one. Thank you so much for showing us. Truly it means the world. Love you, Anne. 💜
I didn't consider myself a vain person until I started to lose hair due to a skin condition. It's easy to say it's just hair until you can see scalp straight out of the shower. You never know what other people are struggling with until you experience health or other problems. It's easy to take things for granted.
Girlfriend you got this ! It takes courage and strength to be vulnerable. You are having a glow up in so many ways. A rebirth of sort. Keep going strong queen, you got this. Best is yet to come.❤
So many of us suffer in silence, hair loss is really not talked about AT ALL. These crazy unrealistic beauty standards don’t help make a person feel any better or less alone either. I’ve been using eyeshadow to fill in my hairline for years and years, the hair fibers look great. Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable, you’re an amazing woman ❤❤
Wow! I'm so incredibly proud of you, Anne! You are so brave and beautiful from the inside/ out! Thank you for letting God use you to touch others with your hair loss story. Your purpose is so much greater and bigger than you can ever imagine! Btw, you are friggin STUNNING!!!! I pray that doing this video feels like a huge weight off your shoulders and is now something you feel FREE to discuss w/o the embarrassment. I hope you feel more confident than ever! Sending you tons of love and a big hug!!! 💕🙏🏼☺️ xoxo
Hey Anne! I know this is an emotional thing particularly for women. I had a gastric bypass about 7 years ago and my hair just stared falling out in clumps. I’d always had really thick hair before so yes, I was very distressed. I proudly wore wigs…the more colorful the better! I would say I lost probably half of my hair. When it finally stopped falling out it didn’t grow back much. It’s very thin now and I also wear it up almost all of the time. I don’t feel embarrassed like I used to as I just had to accept my reality. I love that you’re keeping it real. Just think of all the filters people use to look “better”. You’re gorgeous and don’t let anyone ever make you feel bad about something you can’t control. You do you girl!❤
Oh Anne, I'm so very thankful you were brave enough to share your story!! I have very thin hair, can't do hardly a thing with it...thanks to you and your video I know feel hope, which is something I haven't felt in a very long th time. I lost about half of my hair at 30 with the birth of my first child, then another big bunch with my second at 35. I'm now 53 and nothing I do helps it grow thick again, so 90% of the time I'm in a ponytail, a very sad looking ponytail. You just opened my eyes to a new world! Thank you sincerely, from the bottom to the top of my heart! I ❤ you and I watch both of your channels faithfully!!!
I watched this video when I first woke up and it made me tear up a bit. I'm 40 and my hair is getting thinner, I'm scared it's going to be like my Nanny. I keep my hair short because of it... thank you for sharing it's hard to be that vulnerable. As a woman our hair is important ❤
Honestly would never have guessed you had thinning hair. So so proud of you for being so vulnerable with your audience. Your beautiful hun so rock that hair and keep smiling 😀
I know this was hard for you to share. You are beautiful! Always do what gives you confidence & makes you feel good about youself, but we will still love you if you have no hair. You are an inspiration.
💜. I never knew how much of my self esteem was wrapped up in my hair…until it started falling out in clumps. I have been a different person for 10 years bc I don’t even recognize myself
Anne although I’m 72 years old I have always had the deep receding areas but in the past several years I have a loss area in the back of my head. I have empathy for you sweetie and I can relate.
Thank you for this video. My sister committed suicide after keep losing her and many other things 2 years ago. Since then, my hair has been thinning, too.❤❤
I know a good deal of how women view themselves is their hair. I've always had very straight, very thin, baby fine hair. I tell my hairdresser my hair never grew up. As a younger girl I never knew how to style it to make it look thicker so I always looked like a drown rat lol. Today they have have hair extensions and clips and so many things to help with that and for much cheaper. As you age your hair thins, I'm so loving that, yay 🤨. I know how hard this had to be for you and you damn sure should be proud of yourself. You faced it head on! I'm sure this has helped other women realize they are not alone and there are ways to help you conceal it and feel better about yourself. Thank you. 🤗
Have you seen Alexandria Ryan's video? She spoke about her journey. May not be the same kind of problem. She even gets shots in her scalp. So brave of you. I don't have this problem, that I know, but my hair is 3/4 gray, and it looks like it is thinning because of the lack of color. Every time I go to the hairdresser, I ask her a million times if it is thinning. Blessings from SC. Brave of you to admit this!!❤🎉
I had thyroid cancer when I was 20 (I'm 41 now). I had over 90% of my thyroid removed and have to take pills every day to replace the thyroid hormone. My endocrinologist lowered my dose, and I started to lose more hair than normal in the shower. I had a little bald patch on the side and felt very embarrassed. She changed my pills back to the dose they were (but told me on the 7th day to take only half) and my hair is growing back. I had no idea it could be a thyroid issue until I saw a clip from a TV show where a boy lost his hair due to thyroid issues, and what do you know....that was the issue. Thank you for mustering the courage to speak about this topic. 💚😺💚
Anne I am so proud of you! I follow both your channels and I believe you are truly in a season of transformation! You do not have to struggle alone! We’ll struggle in different ways! ❤️ Have a beautiful evening!
U are so beautiful. Both of my sisters are more then 50% bald. From weight loss and meds. U are not alone. U are loved. U are a very big inspiration to me. Thank u
I had the same thing hereditary patterned alopecia and it might grow back it might not it destroys our confidence to even defend ourself in disputes it is so hard and for us woman it affects who we are at the core ❤❤❤❤ also we get hair fall in our late teens then early 30s and thats it as for transplant it doesnt work for woman in studies with men and woman the folicules just start doing same as before im 43 now ❤
Thank you Anne.....you are so brave to share insecurities with us. I had a gastric sleeve in 2015 and lost some hair. For a couple of years I had a hard time dealing with it but it did grow back. I would have loved to see the tips on how to make it look thicker. I think this video is going to help many people ❤❤
I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now but haven’t watched a few videos for a while. And I look up to your courage in this video! I know your hair has always been an insecurity of yours and so many people especially females suffer with hair loss. Saying I am now with postpartum. I love how you are speaking about this on your channel! It takes a lot of courage to talk about insecurities especially to the public! I love your channel so much! Have a blessed day Anne!❤️
I’m sorry your going through this, I’m Loosing my hair from stress from the surgery I just had due to cancer and going through chemotherapy right now. I had long dark brown hair down to my waist now it’s short like a boy …So hang in there !!!
Dam, I just wanted to give you a hug when you were choking up! I am so proud of you for feeling secure enough in yourself to show your authentic self. That is always so hard to do. With all of the filters and fake nonsense it was refreshing to see an influencer keep it real. We all need to give ourselves some grace and not be so hard on ourselves. Your TH-cam family is so proud of you and loves to see how happy you seem! 💜💜💜
My sister started losing her hair when she was about 25 (she’s 37 now) due to ovarian cancer and it’s been incredibly difficult on her. She washes her hair with rosemary water and takes supplements for hair growth and it’s been helping her. You’re beautiful Anne and extremely brave. Sending you love ❤️ ❤❤
I had cancer 11 years ago and the hardest part was losing my hair with the chemo. It would come out in clumps in the shower. I would literally lose half of whatever I had everytime I washed it until I had none. It would all be stuck to my chest and it was beyond upsetting so I know exactly how emotional it is. I am amazed at how you can make it look so full and thick in a couple minutes. Thanks for being brave and sharing. I know you will help a lot of people.
Very impressive. Sharing your insecurities is a strength. Watching my mother suffer from alopecia has been hard. The last two years it’s been obvious that I am having severe hair shedding. Your video gave me some needed courage realizing what I’m in for as well. Stay awesome!❤
This was amazing! Your vulnerable side, you're an amazing woman! I have donated my hair for many years to help children & burn patients out. We all have our shortfalls. It took a lot to do this! So proud of you!
My hair is thinning due to cancer treatment. This helps me with options to make me feel less scared of being seen. Thanks Anne for being such a great friend.
You’re awesome! I am so proud of you for sharing this. It has to give you some type of relief to finally let this out. We all have something we are insecure about. And you rock for sharing yours… you’re amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Lots of hugs being sent your way.
OMG, I am so very proud of you, I realize this was so extremely difficult for you. Keep up all the beautiful things that you do. Much love to you.🥰🥰😍💕💕
I'm still here😁 Anne, you helped one person already, that would be me. I'm so proud of you. Your Courage & energy have always inspired me. Secrets are like cancer,,they eat you up inside. Many Blessings, Happiness and love to you my friend ❤️
I know exactly how you feel, I have been loosing my hair for years, there is nothing I have not tried, I am wearing a wig at the moment, as I shaved all my hair off, got sick of being surrounded by all the hair that had fallen out, you are beautiful and your hair looks OK when it is up, I really understand how you feel ❤️ xx
Honey I have even thinner hair than yours! I know the struggle and mine is FINE! I can’t find any hair extensions. Your hair is not as thin as many woman but I applaud you! I know the struggle and the embarrassment. Man I wish I had a friend like you who we could figure it out together
I'm so proud of you for sharing!! I have thinning hair due to thyroid issues. It's so embarrassing, but for you to share it will help ALOT of people!! Your not alone.
I'm so happy you made this video, and I'm proud of you, too! 🤗 I'm a nurse, and a lot of people struggle with thinning hair or baldness. It's definitely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, and what you did here will help people! Don't ever forget that you're beautiful just the way you are! 🤗
❤when I was growing up my mom's hair was full, thick, long & luxurious. She had insecurities about everything. Everything but her hair. Then due to female pattern baldness & various health issues--- her hair became very thin & rapidly receding. It was heartbreaking to watch her go through that. Nerves, stress, food allergies. There are so many things that can cause hair loss & people just don't realize how it affects you. It's VERY BRAVE of you to do this video. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤ you do a beautiful job with your hair. I've wondered why you never had your hair down but felt it would be rude to ask. ❤ love ya doll😘
I was one of those people that was asking about how you did your hair. There was a video where you had bangs. Thank you so much for opening up to us. I have really fine thin hair myself. I load up on vitamins. I even take a prenatal vitamin. I cam tell a difference when I'm on my vitamins. I take prenatal, biotin, vit D, potassium, magnesium, a multi vitamin for over 65. I know im mussibg some. Just cant think of them atm. I'm 46 years old. I wish I could show you pictures. I use good shampoos and conditioners too. Brush the scalp lightly helps with blood flow. No heat, bleach, and a silk bonnet and a silk pillow case. All these have made a difference for me. This had to be hard to film. I'm so proud of you Anne!
I can truly understand how emotional this is and I just want to say thank you for sharing with us. I also suffer from losing my hair. But I get what they call bald spots ,because I'll lose my hair in different areas and it can be a small round bald spot or a big round bald spot. This has been happening to me since I was in my teens. I never told my friends just my parent's and sisters knew. The Dr said losing my hair like this could have been brought on by stress, and for me I believe that's true because everytime I'm under a lot of stress it happens. Back then I used to cover up my bald patches with black eyeshadow and fix my hair in a different way, so nobody ever saw them. Then mom would take me to get injections in my head. I don't want you to feel embarrassed, I just want to thank you for sharing with us because there's a lot of us women going through this and feeling alone. My mom is going through this now and the Dr says the medication she takes for diabetes can cause hair loss as well. You are beautiful regardless my friend. We love you because of you always keeping it 💯. Thank you again, I know this video is going to help a lot of women going through this. Love you, stay safe and stay blessed always 🙏❤️💖
Oh mama I had such a head full of hair but since I became sick from hep c I’ve lost half of my hair and honestly I feel embarrassed I had such beautiful hair but anyway I just pray it grows back but you do an amazing job on your hair Anne God bless mama . ♥️
I have to tell you that you are such a wonderful person! I am 68 yrs old and is steadily losing my hair..you gave me hope where I thought there was none...my hair has always been my thing but since I've been sick everything is changing...again THANK YOU!! Much love to you and success in all that you do!!! ❤
You are so incredibly brave to share your hair tips. I have thin hair too. I have long hair now and I also keep it up in a bun because I do not like how it looks wearing it down. I went through cancer treatment 31 years ago and my hair has been thin since then. I like short hair styles because I think my hair looks fuller. I plan to get it cut short in June and I’ll donate my ponytail to Children with Hair Loss. I’ve donated my thin ponytail to this organization three times before. You are a beautiful soul! Thanks for always keeping it real on your channel.
Anne I love both your sites have been watching since Feb of this year. Have never subscribed to anyone anywhere but felt I needed to yell you how much I enjoy you and how much I feel we have in common. Please keep them coming and know there are people out here who you have helped more than you'll ever know!!
I lost my hair 4 times first 3 times stress hormones years ago in my 20’s high testosterone was put on birth control pills . Now menopause lost hair from covid 19 since march . I’m 56 now who knows will even grow back 100 % try to stay calm very hard . I usually wear head wrap can’t color my hair . It’s still shedding little . Just waiting it out ! Thank you for video so many woman going through this especially since Covid stress of life .
And thank you so much for making a video like this. I am 50 years old. I’ve been going through menopause since I’ve been 45 I truly believe menopause has a lot to do with loosing hair too 💕💚💕 I appreciate you
VERY INTERESTING!!! I am thin in front. The rest of my hair is thick and hangs to my waist. I live alone and it just never crossed my mind to check the back. I rarely go out in public and definitely need to check the back. Because of you, I NOW know what to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SHALOM
My sweet friend I know how hard that was for you. I’m proud of you❤ my mom had the same thing and it was so very hard on her to loose her hair. She wears wigs now and can Rick it like the best of them. Love to you❤️🫶🏻
Oh honey don't cry. I had a head dull of hair. But when i went through menopause. I started losing my hair. I told my husband to shave my head. Yes i cover my head in public. Do to religious reasons. But at home i didn't. I honestly feel better without hair. I only have to buy shampoo. As curly as my hair is. Im saving money now. I'm rocking it without hair.
You’re beautiful and this was very brave of you. My hair came out in chunks a couple years ago and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. People who have full hair don’t understand what hair loss does to a girl’s self esteem. No one can ever take away your beauty on the inside ❤
I am dealing with hair loss right now. I'm 33. My doctor is saying it's likely severe vitamin deficiency we are currently treating, but it's been sudden and it's been very noticeable. We don't know if the loss can be reversed and I will be referred to a dermatologist in a few months. It's not hormonal or endocrine related that we can tell from the amount of blood tests I had done. I've had cancer and had total hair loss, but it's still devastating. I appreciate this more than you can know.
Society defines beauty from outside..hair, skinny etc...thank you for being vulnerable enough to share. I have suffered from Trichotillomania since I was about 12. Also being diagnosed with 2 autoimmune disorders makes my hair thinner too. Beauty comes from within! Keep shining ❤
You touch everyone who listens to you in one way or another and this is such a sensitive subject to know that we all are not alone and your definitely not Ann ! We love you!
I never would have guessed your hair was that thin, it always looks so beautiful. Im starting to get the receding hairline and i hate it. I wear it up in a bun every single day
You are so brave. Im a 64 old and it is embarrassing and you do not always feel good about yourself no matter what hair product you try. and im going to a dermatologist for a year now. It is getting a little better. I've really not felt beautiful in a while and in December. I wanted to wear makeup again and I'm feeling so more confident when I walk out the door now. Thank you for all that you do keep up the good work. I'm praying for you you're not alone.

TOPPIK IS 50% OFF AT ULTA TODAY go.magik.ly/ml/1tw6c/ I didn’t know they were gonna have it on sale when I made this video 😊
Thank you so much for making this video. I am going to have my mom watch it, I think it will help her a lot. Thank you. Also, just know that you are so beautiful.
This was my MOST emotional video to film. I Never thought I would. If I can help 1 person not feel so alone then I did my job. Please thumbs up 👍 this video and comment. Please share this video. Especially if you know someone who is dealing with hair loss ❤
Just wanted to tell you about @AlexandriaRyan I've learn so much from her about helping grow thicker hair. My thinning hair is due to a Total Hysterectomy at 44.
@@basicallybabs thank you ❤
Anne you blow me away with your courage. I appreciate you so much ❤️
Anne, thank you for being so brave, I can't imagine what you've been through all these years. I'm sure you must be helping someone else in the beauty land. You look so pretty on all of your videos. God Bless you. 🥰
Hi..my name is Patty…You are so sweet…Anne you could shave your head and still look gorgeous..I truly mean that..I was told that putting your hair in a ponytail especially to tight can cause a lot of hair loss..so I started braiding it loosely..my hair gets tangled really easy (being curly) especially at night..the difference was night and day. 😊👍🏻❤️
Thank you for making a video like this. As someone who's staying to lose large amounts of hair due to hormones, age, thyroid, MS, etc, I super appreciate seeing this. You're so frigging real and down to earth. And know- you have helped this person today 🤗💜
I respect you for your courage to talk about this, Anne.
Forty years ago I started losing my hair, I have hardly any left now in my 60’s.
Never wore it down, dreaded leaving the house, started wearing baseball caps.
Then I discovered toppers, and they changed my life, Anne. Try a low density, human hair one from Uniwigs. Just clip on and go, best thing ever! God Bless.
You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. To be vulnerable like that on video so you can help someone else takes real courage. I have problems with my teeth and it's the one thing I'm very self conscious and embarrassed about. People automatically assume I was a drug addict or just have bad personal hygiene but it has nothing to do with either. Bad teeth runs on my dad's side. I don't smile in pictures and am terrified of being on video. It's the reason I could never imagine doing youtube. I don't know if I could ever have the courage to let the world see. I have an emense amount of respect for you and the courage this video took.
I'm positive that you have helped more than one person with your honesty and candor. Good job!!! ❤
Thanks Anne. I lost a lot of my hair to Covid and my MIL lost 80% of her hair due to health issues. It's very hard on us as women. ❤
I'm so proud of you! That took a lot! You just helped so many people. There is so many people who suffer hair loss even temporary. Now you can do those hair promotions for the real hair. I'm always interested in see hair videos. My hair is fine but I've suffered hair thinning at different times in my life due to surgery, medications , a salon that fried my hair and my autoimmune so hair videos are always nice. I just want you to know that you are beautiful!
In May of 2021 I went into liver failure, was hospitalized for over a month. Almost died. The stress of all of that, plus the liver disease caused my hair to shed horribly. My hair was never really thick but I had a lot of it. I lost probably 80% of my hair. It was devastating. It was harder on me than being told I need a liver transplant, that I only had a 30% chance of living a year. I don't think people who haven't lost their hair understand how much heartbreak comes with it. I bought some cheap wigs from Amazon for when I went out but I didn't even want my husband or parents to see my hair. I had less hair than you at the worst of it. I'd lose handfuls at a time. It's finally starting to grow back but I'm still horribly self conscious. Thank you for sharing this. I know how hard it was. I'm proud of you for having this much courage. You're a beautiful person, inside & out. ❤
I feel this!! When I went through chemo and list all of my hair, it was absolutely more devastating to me than the "you might die" part of the process. People who haven't experienced these sorts of things don't understand how it can make you feel. And women especially (not saying men don't!) since we are "judged" based on looks by society.
I'm glad you made it through and are still here! 💜
@Angie Metzener I hope you are doing well and are healthy. 😊
I know that was a very difficult topic for you. As a hairdresser for almost 40 years I can definitely tell you your not alone. I'm proud of you. This is your turn to thrive and be your authentic self!!🤗💓
I have very thin hair as well, and I always try to get a lot of volume out of it so it looks like I have more than I actually do have. and though I don't suffer from Alopecia, I have decided to stop colouring it and much like you, haven't been to a hairdresser in over 4 years, cut my own hair and almost always have it in a ponytail. The ponytails you have look great, and I'm going to look for something similar online. Thank you for posting and sharing this Anne, it truly means a lot and I know it's going to help so many women with similar issues. Bless you for putting yourself out there for all to see ❤ and there is Nothing stupid about this, nothing, that took a lot of courage. Love you Anne!!
Honey you are beautiful as hell. And it’s not because your hair in any way. Your beautiful because of YOU inside shining out so bright!
Keep slaying queen 👸🏽 we love you
I’m balling Anne. I am going through what you have been going through. No one understands the depression it has caused me. I feel so horrible. Im losing hair like crazy and have been trying to do everything right. 😭😭😭
It's not as uncommon as you would think. More women wear wigs than people realize. When I was in beauty school, a lot of women came in looking for styles that would help their thinning hair and they'd still leave with their wigs on sometimes! Nioxin can help, but confidence is key. I have super super thin hair too. I shaved my head a few years ago and it has grown back a little nicer, but not much lol, I think it just came in maybe slightly healthier. You ladies are not alone!!!
Anne I’m so proud of you! This video had to be hard for you, but I also have thinning hair due to hormones so I get it. It definitely hurts a woman’s self confidence. I love you and appreciate you sharing your story!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this. It's so important in this community to show that you don't have to be "perfect". Sharing your vulnerability is hard but knowing that you'll help someone is such a rewarding feeling. Proud of you!
❤thankyou for your video. I pulled my hair out for years. Kindof weird, so i wore wigs. In 2018 i found out i had stage 2 breast cancer. Surgery ❤chemo and radiation. I only lost all of it when i started radiation treatment. I was completely bald. My scalp hurt. I didnt want to wear a wig anymore. So now after 4 plus years im cancer free. Praise the Lord. 😊😊 Im praying for you as your being transparent. You have beautiful hair. You are a beautiful woman. When my hair grew back it was darker and curlier. The desire to pull my hair out has mostly gone now. So you are an inspiration to all if us.❤😊
I don't know if you have ever read about red light therapy but it has been shown to help with hair loss when nothing else would. Please just take a minute to google it and see. I know this was emotional for you but it had to be a big relief as well. Thank you for sharing something so personal.
You look Beautiful no matter what you do with your hair. It seems that had to be tough. You did extremely well!! It isn't an easy thing to share, I can only imagine. Hugs from California 🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing this. My hair thinning has been a source of depression for me for over a year. It's gotten bad enough that I finally saw the doctor and got a referral to the dermatologist but I already know the problem is my epilepsy meds. I've tried everything else except calling the neurologist and attempting to switch my meds, which is scary for obvious reasons. I am not opposed to wearing hair pieces at all, I just fear making the drastic change at work. I might not have a choice eventually. I don't think people realize how emotionally hard this is. It just feels so cruel.
After my cancer my hair has been thin. Thank you 😊 I see there is help and product to help. Again Anne Thank you. Ya'll take care 🙂
I'm 67yrs old, and I feel you. My hair is very thin. I tried wigs, too hot. When I brush my hair out, my brush is full! It is, embarrassing! I want a pixie cut, but scared to go to Super Cuts. (I can't afford the "Beauty Salons") I cry, too....
I’ve had alopecia areata for nine years now, we as women need to open up about our hair loss, it’s not just men… I think many more women than we realize are suffering from it and it’s so great when someone opens up about it to help others.
I didn't even know about fake ponytails, I just wear my hair in a bunch. Thank you! This was alot of help
I know it had to be incredibly hard to show your hair but know that your courage has impacted many of us to know we are not alone and female hair loss is more common than we think
Girl, I'm so embarrassed about my thinning hair. I know this wasn't easy for you to share, but you really helped me!!! Thank you! I'm going to look for ponytail and other hair pieces to use. In the summer, I can handle a ponytail and then winter, maybe go with a full wig. Thanks again Anne! Love ya! ❤
You said that you’d be happy to help just one person…well, that one person is me. I’m also sure that you’ve helped many others. I’m so proud of you for being so vulnerable. I know this was difficult for you. I would love to see a trip to the hair store and/or a video of you trying multiple wigs and/or ponytails. My hair has been thinning/receding over the past several years and I’ve been really self-conscious about it…I’ve looked at ponytails online but never knew how to use one. Thank you so much for showing us. Truly it means the world. Love you, Anne. 💜
I didn't consider myself a vain person until I started to lose hair due to a skin condition. It's easy to say it's just hair until you can see scalp straight out of the shower. You never know what other people are struggling with until you experience health or other problems. It's easy to take things for granted.
Girlfriend you got this ! It takes courage and strength to be vulnerable. You are having a glow up in so many ways. A rebirth of sort. Keep going strong queen, you got this. Best is yet to come.❤
Another TH-camr I watch, Alexandria Ryan, is dealing w hair loss, she is in her 20s. The bravery this takes is incredible. Thanks again.
So many of us suffer in silence, hair loss is really not talked about AT ALL. These crazy unrealistic beauty standards don’t help make a person feel any better or less alone either. I’ve been using eyeshadow to fill in my hairline for years and years, the hair fibers look great.
Thank you for being so raw and vulnerable, you’re an amazing woman ❤❤
A lot of us have hair loss after having children. This is exactly the kind of content people can relate to. Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow! I'm so incredibly proud of you, Anne! You are so brave and beautiful from the inside/ out! Thank you for letting God use you to touch others with your hair loss story. Your purpose is so much greater and bigger than you can ever imagine! Btw, you are friggin STUNNING!!!! I pray that doing this video feels like a huge weight off your shoulders and is now something you feel FREE to discuss w/o the embarrassment. I hope you feel more confident than ever! Sending you tons of love and a big hug!!! 💕🙏🏼☺️ xoxo
Hey Anne! I know this is an emotional thing particularly for women. I had a gastric bypass about 7 years ago and my hair just stared falling out in clumps. I’d always had really thick hair before so yes, I was very distressed. I proudly wore wigs…the more colorful the better! I would say I lost probably half of my hair. When it finally stopped falling out it didn’t grow back much. It’s very thin now and I also wear it up almost all of the time. I don’t feel embarrassed like I used to as I just had to accept my reality. I love that you’re keeping it real. Just think of all the filters people use to look “better”. You’re gorgeous and don’t let anyone ever make you feel bad about something you can’t control. You do you girl!❤
Oh Anne, I'm so very thankful you were brave enough to share your story!! I have very thin hair, can't do hardly a thing with it...thanks to you and your video I know feel hope, which is something I haven't felt in a very long th time. I lost about half of my hair at 30 with the birth of my first child, then another big bunch with my second at 35. I'm now 53 and nothing I do helps it grow thick again, so 90% of the time I'm in a ponytail, a very sad looking ponytail. You just opened my eyes to a new world! Thank you sincerely, from the bottom to the top of my heart! I ❤ you and I watch both of your channels faithfully!!!
I watched this video when I first woke up and it made me tear up a bit. I'm 40 and my hair is getting thinner, I'm scared it's going to be like my Nanny. I keep my hair short because of it... thank you for sharing it's hard to be that vulnerable. As a woman our hair is important ❤
Honestly would never have guessed you had thinning hair. So so proud of you for being so vulnerable with your audience. Your beautiful hun so rock that hair and keep smiling 😀
I think you're brave and courageous. I appreciate this video
I know this was hard for you to share. You are beautiful! Always do what gives you confidence & makes you feel good about youself, but we will still love you if you have no hair. You are an inspiration.
I’ve been going thru the same thing since I was 20. I know how you feel. 😢 It’s a struggle everyday.
Your the second female TH-camr I watch that has hair lose issues. It's got to be hard to talk about this. Thanks for sharing
💜. I never knew how much of my self esteem was wrapped up in my hair…until it started falling out in clumps. I have been a different person for 10 years bc I don’t even recognize myself
Anne although I’m 72 years old I have always had the deep receding areas but in the past several years I have a loss area in the back of my head. I have empathy for you sweetie and I can relate.
Thank you for this video. My sister committed suicide after keep losing her and many other things 2 years ago. Since then, my hair has been thinning, too.❤❤
My hair is thin. You know. You taught me about the fibers and it was life changing. I admire your strength today. Luv ya❌️⭕️
I know a good deal of how women view themselves is their hair. I've always had very straight, very thin, baby fine hair. I tell my hairdresser my hair never grew up. As a younger girl I never knew how to style it to make it look thicker so I always looked like a drown rat lol. Today they have have hair extensions and clips and so many things to help with that and for much cheaper. As you age your hair thins, I'm so loving that, yay 🤨. I know how hard this had to be for you and you damn sure should be proud of yourself. You faced it head on! I'm sure this has helped other women realize they are not alone and there are ways to help you conceal it and feel better about yourself. Thank you. 🤗
Have you seen Alexandria Ryan's video? She spoke about her journey. May not be the same kind of problem. She even gets shots in her scalp. So brave of you. I don't have this problem, that I know, but my hair is 3/4 gray, and it looks like it is thinning because of the lack of color. Every time I go to the hairdresser, I ask her a million times if it is thinning. Blessings from SC. Brave of you to admit this!!❤🎉
I was just about 2 say this!
I was afraid of hurting anyone's feelings! Thanks!
I had thyroid cancer when I was 20 (I'm 41 now). I had over 90% of my thyroid removed and have to take pills every day to replace the thyroid hormone. My endocrinologist lowered my dose, and I started to lose more hair than normal in the shower. I had a little bald patch on the side and felt very embarrassed. She changed my pills back to the dose they were (but told me on the 7th day to take only half) and my hair is growing back. I had no idea it could be a thyroid issue until I saw a clip from a TV show where a boy lost his hair due to thyroid issues, and what do you know....that was the issue. Thank you for mustering the courage to speak about this topic. 💚😺💚
Anne I am so proud of you! I follow both your channels and I believe you are truly in a season of transformation! You do not have to struggle alone! We’ll struggle in different ways! ❤️ Have a beautiful evening!
U are so beautiful. Both of my sisters are more then 50% bald. From weight loss and meds. U are not alone. U are loved. U are a very big inspiration to me. Thank u
My hair has been thinning for years. Mostly in the back, I'll never forget when my niece was playing with my hair and noticed 😪 I love you!
I had the same thing hereditary patterned alopecia and it might grow back it might not it destroys our confidence to even defend ourself in disputes it is so hard and for us woman it affects who we are at the core ❤❤❤❤ also we get hair fall in our late teens then early 30s and thats it as for transplant it doesnt work for woman in studies with men and woman the folicules just start doing same as before im 43 now ❤
Thank you Anne.....you are so brave to share insecurities with us. I had a gastric sleeve in 2015 and lost some hair. For a couple of years I had a hard time dealing with it but it did grow back. I would have loved to see the tips on how to make it look thicker. I think this video is going to help many people ❤❤
Anne! Thank you so much for sharing with us your insecurities ...I'm here for you, Always! 💜💖 I love ya girl.
I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now but haven’t watched a few videos for a while. And I look up to your courage in this video! I know your hair has always been an insecurity of yours and so many people especially females suffer with hair loss. Saying I am now with postpartum. I love how you are speaking about this on your channel! It takes a lot of courage to talk about insecurities especially to the public! I love your channel so much! Have a blessed day Anne!❤️
We all have our insecurities. Thank you for sharing. I’m very proud of you as well!
I’m sorry your going through this, I’m
Loosing my hair from stress from the surgery I just had due to cancer and going through chemotherapy right now. I had long dark brown hair down to my waist now it’s short like a boy …So hang in there !!!
Dam, I just wanted to give you a hug when you were choking up! I am so proud of you for feeling secure enough in yourself to show your authentic self. That is always so hard to do. With all of the filters and fake nonsense it was refreshing to see an influencer keep it real. We all need to give ourselves some grace and not be so hard on ourselves. Your TH-cam family is so proud of you and loves to see how happy you seem! 💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing, Anne.
My sister started losing her hair when she was about 25 (she’s 37 now) due to ovarian cancer and it’s been incredibly difficult on her. She washes her hair with rosemary water and takes supplements for hair growth and it’s been helping her. You’re beautiful Anne and extremely brave. Sending you love ❤️ ❤❤
I had cancer 11 years ago and the hardest part was losing my hair with the chemo. It would come out in clumps in the shower. I would literally lose half of whatever I had everytime I washed it until I had none. It would all be stuck to my chest and it was beyond upsetting so I know exactly how emotional it is. I am amazed at how you can make it look so full and thick in a couple minutes. Thanks for being brave and sharing. I know you will help a lot of people.
You are so beautiful. There are so many of us with vulnerabilities. You have awesome eyes, a beautiful face, and a wonderful ❤️
Very impressive. Sharing your insecurities is a strength. Watching my mother suffer from alopecia has been hard. The last two years it’s been obvious that I am having severe hair shedding. Your video gave me some needed courage realizing what I’m in for as well. Stay awesome!❤
You are wonderful and beautiful, Anne. We love you just how you are.❤
This was amazing! Your vulnerable side, you're an amazing woman!
I have donated my hair for many years to help children & burn patients out. We all have our shortfalls. It took a lot to do this! So proud of you!
Love these types of videos. Geez people are so forward. You are gorgeous and really courageous.
My hair is thinning due to cancer treatment. This helps me with options to make me feel less scared of being seen. Thanks Anne for being such a great friend.
You are so brave , as a fellow sufferer I know how difficult this would be , since having hair loss myself I have seen so many other people who suffer
GIRL YOU ARE INSPIRING.
You’re awesome! I am so proud of you for sharing this. It has to give you some type of relief to finally let this out. We all have something we are insecure about. And you rock for sharing yours… you’re amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Lots of hugs being sent your way.
Hey Anne, thin hair and hair loss are common. I don't want you to ever feel bad about yourself. You look beautiful❤ Looking better is feeling better!
OMG, I am so very proud of you, I realize this was so extremely difficult for you. Keep up all the beautiful things that you do. Much love to you.🥰🥰😍💕💕
I'm still here😁 Anne, you helped one person already, that would be me. I'm so proud of you. Your Courage & energy have always inspired me. Secrets are like cancer,,they eat you up inside. Many Blessings, Happiness and love to you my friend ❤️
I know exactly how you feel, I have been loosing my hair for years, there is nothing I have not tried, I am wearing a wig at the moment, as I shaved all my hair off, got sick of being surrounded by all the hair that had fallen out, you are beautiful and your hair looks OK when it is up, I really understand how you feel ❤️ xx
Honey I have even thinner hair than yours! I know the struggle and mine is FINE! I can’t find any hair extensions. Your hair is not as thin as many woman but I applaud you! I know the struggle and the embarrassment. Man I wish I had a friend like you who we could figure it out together
I'm so proud of you for sharing!! I have thinning hair due to thyroid issues. It's so embarrassing, but for you to share it will help ALOT of people!! Your not alone.
I'm so happy you made this video, and I'm proud of you, too! 🤗 I'm a nurse, and a lot of people struggle with thinning hair or baldness. It's definitely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, and what you did here will help people! Don't ever forget that you're beautiful just the way you are! 🤗
❤when I was growing up my mom's hair was full, thick, long & luxurious. She had insecurities about everything. Everything but her hair. Then due to female pattern baldness & various health issues--- her hair became very thin & rapidly receding. It was heartbreaking to watch her go through that. Nerves, stress, food allergies. There are so many things that can cause hair loss & people just don't realize how it affects you. It's VERY BRAVE of you to do this video. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤ you do a beautiful job with your hair. I've wondered why you never had your hair down but felt it would be rude to ask. ❤ love ya doll😘
It doesn’t seem stupid at all Anne ❤❤❤❤
I was one of those people that was asking about how you did your hair. There was a video where you had bangs. Thank you so much for opening up to us. I have really fine thin hair myself. I load up on vitamins. I even take a prenatal vitamin. I cam tell a difference when I'm on my vitamins. I take prenatal, biotin, vit D, potassium, magnesium, a multi vitamin for over 65. I know im mussibg some. Just cant think of them atm. I'm 46 years old. I wish I could show you pictures. I use good shampoos and conditioners too. Brush the scalp lightly helps with blood flow. No heat, bleach, and a silk bonnet and a silk pillow case. All these have made a difference for me. This had to be hard to film. I'm so proud of you Anne!
I can truly understand how emotional this is and I just want to say thank you for sharing with us. I also suffer from losing my hair. But I get what they call bald spots ,because I'll lose my hair in different areas and it can be a small round bald spot or a big round bald spot. This has been happening to me since I was in my teens. I never told my friends just my parent's and sisters knew. The Dr said losing my hair like this could have been brought on by stress, and for me I believe that's true because everytime I'm under a lot of stress it happens. Back then I used to cover up my bald patches with black eyeshadow and fix my hair in a different way, so nobody ever saw them. Then mom would take me to get injections in my head. I don't want you to feel embarrassed, I just want to thank you for sharing with us because there's a lot of us women going through this and feeling alone. My mom is going through this now and the Dr says the medication she takes for diabetes can cause hair loss as well. You are beautiful regardless my friend. We love you because of you always keeping it 💯. Thank you again, I know this video is going to help a lot of women going through this. Love you, stay safe and stay blessed always 🙏❤️💖
Oh mama I had such a head full of hair but since I became sick from hep c I’ve lost half of my hair and honestly I feel embarrassed I had such beautiful hair but anyway I just pray it grows back but you do an amazing job on your hair Anne God bless mama . ♥️
I have to tell you that you are such a wonderful person! I am 68 yrs old and is steadily losing my hair..you gave me hope where I thought there was none...my hair has always been my thing but since I've been sick everything is changing...again THANK YOU!!
Much love to you and success in all that you do!!! ❤
You are so incredibly brave to share your hair tips. I have thin hair too. I have long hair now and I also keep it up in a bun because I do not like how it looks wearing it down. I went through cancer treatment 31 years ago and my hair has been thin since then. I like short hair styles because I think my hair looks fuller. I plan to get it cut short in June and I’ll donate my ponytail to Children with Hair Loss. I’ve donated my thin ponytail to this organization three times before. You are a beautiful soul! Thanks for always keeping it real on your channel.
Anne I love both your sites have been watching since Feb of this year. Have never subscribed to anyone anywhere but felt I needed to yell you how much I enjoy you and how much I feel we have in common. Please keep them coming and know there are people out here who you have helped more than you'll ever know!!
I lost my hair 4 times first 3 times stress hormones years ago in my 20’s high testosterone was put on birth control pills . Now menopause lost hair from covid 19 since march . I’m 56 now who knows will even grow back 100 % try to stay calm very hard . I usually wear head wrap can’t color my hair . It’s still shedding little . Just waiting it out ! Thank you for video so many woman going through this especially since Covid stress of life .
And thank you so much for making a video like this. I am 50 years old. I’ve been going through menopause since I’ve been 45 I truly believe menopause has a lot to do with loosing hair too 💕💚💕 I appreciate you
VERY INTERESTING!!! I am thin in front. The rest of my hair is thick and hangs to my waist. I live alone and it just never crossed my mind to check the back. I rarely go out in public and definitely need to check the back. Because of you, I NOW know what to do. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SHALOM
My sweet friend I know how hard that was for you. I’m proud of you❤ my mom had the same thing and it was so very hard on her to loose her hair. She wears wigs now and can Rick it like the best of them. Love to you❤️🫶🏻
Oh honey don't cry. I had a head dull of hair. But when i went through menopause. I started losing my hair. I told my husband to shave my head. Yes i cover my head in public. Do to religious reasons. But at home i didn't. I honestly feel better without hair. I only have to buy shampoo. As curly as my hair is. Im saving money now. I'm rocking it without hair.
You’re beautiful and this was very brave of you. My hair came out in chunks a couple years ago and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. People who have full hair don’t understand what hair loss does to a girl’s self esteem. No one can ever take away your beauty on the inside ❤
I just wanted to hug you when you choked up. I know a hug doesn’t resolve the issue, but so wanted you to know I was there for you.
I am dealing with hair loss right now. I'm 33. My doctor is saying it's likely severe vitamin deficiency we are currently treating, but it's been sudden and it's been very noticeable. We don't know if the loss can be reversed and I will be referred to a dermatologist in a few months. It's not hormonal or endocrine related that we can tell from the amount of blood tests I had done. I've had cancer and had total hair loss, but it's still devastating. I appreciate this more than you can know.
Good for you! Thanks for sharing! There are a lot of women, myself included, who suffer from hair loss!
Society defines beauty from outside..hair, skinny etc...thank you for being vulnerable enough to share. I have suffered from Trichotillomania since I was about 12. Also being diagnosed with 2 autoimmune disorders makes my hair thinner too. Beauty comes from within! Keep shining ❤
Awe thank you for feeling comfortable with sharing with us 💕 your beautiful either way 🩷
You touch everyone who listens to you in one way or another and this is such a sensitive subject to know that we all are not alone and your definitely not Ann ! We love you!
Either way Anne, you look beautiful ❤️❤️
We all are probably crying with you😢
I never would have guessed your hair was that thin, it always looks so beautiful. Im starting to get the receding hairline and i hate it. I wear it up in a bun every single day
You are so brave. Im a 64 old and it is embarrassing and you do not always feel good about yourself no matter what hair product you try. and im going to a dermatologist for a year now. It is getting a little better. I've really not felt beautiful in a while and in December. I wanted to wear makeup again and I'm feeling so more confident when I walk out the door now. Thank you for all that you do keep up the good work. I'm praying for you you're not alone.
