Let’s talk about how to get rid of facial hair if you’re a female.
The top cause of facial hair in females is PCOS. But, there are other potential causes, including a tumor on the adrenal glands or pituitary gland or Cushing’s syndrome.
Symptoms of PCOS:
1. Heavy cycles
2. No cycles
3. Acne
4. Infertility
5. Insulin resistance
The top cause of PCOS is high androgens. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet and various suggestions on how to help improve this condition-but these recommendations can be confusing.
I believe that excess insulin increases androgens, so high insulin is the root cause of PCOS, which then leads to facial hair. In my opinion, a good solution would be to lower insulin.
How to lower insulin:
1. Lower your carb intake
2. Cut out snacks and decrease the frequency of your meals

I have small problems with facial hair but when I fast it completely goes away. What I’ve learned from Dr. Berg and others over the years is basically reversing insulin resistance is the answer to all problems 😄
im underweight, how can i fast? 😭😭😭
@@CherishedChristianLife There are other ways to lower insulin resistance, but I would definitely talk to a doctor if you can.
Yes true, bc sugar is poison for our bodies
thank you all ❤️
@@raileyrichardson6805 That's wonderful! Are you talking about intermittent fasting or longer fasting? 🙂
Anyone have facial hair and not have pcos?
Yes
Yup
Yup
Yes.
Yes
I have slightly higher androstenedione and always had some excess hair I had lasered away. But no PCOS. Had 2 kids easly, normal painless menstruation cycle very regylary, im slender and stay the same weight and no acne. Altho in the past did have back acne but after pregnancy its gone (for now XD). Had my ovaries checked and no cysts.
I had PCOS since i was 17! Now im 29
What REALLY helped me is decrasing my carb intake , i stopped eating diary completely! thats had a huge impact!
And most important thing ever was RELAX.. if you are stressed or have anxiety nothing's really gonna help.
Few herbal tea helps alot.
Zinc as supplement or eat raw oysters when available , ashwagandha and magnesium.
What type of herbal teas? I'm having a hard time dealing with stress.
@@simplyroyalty7458 1- lemon balm! Dr berg talked about it before its great against anxiety and stress.
2- rosemary
3-lavender tea before bed.
Also .. Take magnesium glycinate its amazing against stress.
And for PCOS itself sparemint tea is excellent.
Thank you.
I did notice a change since I reduces consuming diaries. I completely stopped drinking milk. The change i'm talking about is my acne problem but I still do suffer from extra hair 😢
How bad is dairy if ttc ??
I can't thank you enough for this video. I have excessive facial hair for like more than 12 years now and because of this I never had the confidence on myself. Thank you so so so much for this video!
I’ve had facial hair since my 20s. I have a pair of tweezers at home, in my purse, and in my car and have to tweeze my chin hairs daily. I was tested last year for PCOS and also a possible adrenal gland tumor, and nothing.
I’ve been fasting for the last 2 weeks. Ironically today I thought “weird, I haven’t had to pluck my chin as much as I usually do”. Now I know why!
This channel has taught me so much in the last month since I’ve stumbled upon it and I’m so grateful for the content! Thank you, Dr. Berg!
I, too have tweezers everywhere & tweeze everyday.
I’ve had an adrenal gland tumor (gland was surgically removed) and I also have PCOS. I thought this was almost unique…but nope. Great video!
When I cut carbs, sugar, and dairy, I noticed that it either stopped or greatly reduced.
What was the reason😢?
Intermittent fasting?
It has been so long since i have been trying to find something on this. Thank you so much for this!!!!
Absolutely love your honesty and directness Dr Berg, no nonsense information which is greatly appreciated thank you. 🙏🏼🇬🇧
Something interesting struck me while watching this. Cushing Syndrome is caused by excessive cortisol. People with PTSD are plagued with excessive cortisol and adrenaline production. I wonder how many women with this issue have PTSD.
You are SPOT ON.
Thanks. I never thought about that.
100%...I have always thought there MUST be a connection between PTSD and PCOS.
Omg, I love your comment!!!! It's 100% true!
I think I have what you're explaining. I have ptsd from my parents. my cortisol is so high. I have panic attacks regularly ....I just got a huge hair on my cheek :(
I agree 100 percent. I have been having facial hair since a long time. About seven months ago and after watching your videos , I stopped sugar completely and started intermittent fasting. Guess what, most of my facial hair disappeared. I wonder why doctors like you are not in an influential position to make people lives better. I guess you know the answer
Could you tell me how long it took you till your hair dissapered? I mean, since you change your diet
@@celestepesce8553 about 6 months
I’ve started fasting but no sugar too 😩 so bloody depressing.
@@katcampbell9213 Take Organic Gymnema & you won't crave or miss sweets. 😊
@@traceya9039 Thank you will try this !!
Thanks much for this information Dr. Berg! In the past days, there have been a lot of people shaving facial hairs. I am pondering if I should also do it. But now, I'm finally enlightened, thanks to you Doc!
I wanted this topic as a video. A big thank you to Dr. Berg and especially his team, who take requests seriously and are always ready to help. Thanks! Much love and may God bless you all abundantly!
Same. I just shave. 😂🌻
Same ,I request this video a while ago, he delivered, thank you again Dr berg! Much love !

Thank you fidel.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 honestly I think only getting Lazer or whatever to rid of facial hair. Some people..like myself just get more facial hair and I can't live my entire life not eating a single carb
@@cherylmcnutt9905 😳🔥 i dont know
Thank you 😊
Its not that simple trust me
Dr. Berg, all your videos are amazing, out of the box and speak true science, thank you!
OMG I needed this. Thank you Dr Eric
Thanks so much for the brilliant explanation.
Great video many thanks for addressing this topic
I had my thyroid removed years ago I’m 56 now and I’ve noticed when I do cut out carbs my facial hair problem diminishes...
Thank you Dr. Berg, glad you chose to tackle this challenge.
I don’t have this but always wanted to know why some women get this. Thank you Dr.Berg for providing so much great information . You are the best ! 🙏❤️
Thank you sir, Unexpected content but most wanted one.
Love you, Dr Berg. You give the people truths.
Thank you very much for all your hard work! I’m slowly moving toward fasting. I’ll really appreciate if you do a video on Onycholysis.
Thank you so much Dr. Eric for sharing this.
Thank you SO much Dr. Berg!!! Because of this video I had my daughter checked out for pcos. So grateful, thank you! 🙏
My pleasure! Happy to help!
Doctor. Amazing that you seem to have grown younger over the years!! Lol. Anyway, so glad I found your channel. I have lost 28 pounds with intermittent fasting, 12 more to go. You have helped me restore my health!!!
Hello DR BERG thank you so much for making this video on pcos you are the best encyclopaedia in this world I’m amazed at your knowledge it’s wonderful👍
Wow! what a telepathic relationship I have with you Doctor, whatever a problem I think of you made a video on it. 😍
NOTE that SOME thin usually blonde facial hair on women is totally normal! Its called vellus hair, more commonly known as peach fuzz and pretty much eveyone has it :)
Yea, but some of us have man hair on our face and bodies. It’s like the girls he showed in those pics. It’s a real problem. 😞
i am aware of that! :(
but i just said this so that girls that dont have hair like that, get confused with what dr Berg is saying, so that they dont think there is anything wrong with their bodies (hormonal inbalance etc) when there isnt
But can be shaved off and is a GLORIOUS THING when it’s gone. Dermaplaning😍
@@sweetpeace5 im too lazy 😁
All kinds of hair on us is normal. It can just be genetics. If you have thick body hair genes, then that's what you get, even if you're healthy. Same for men. Body hair is normal.
Hello from Brazil Dr Berg. Could you talk about melasma? I know it is related to estrogen and progesterone. In my case, it started to appear in my thirties. I have done some fasting for other reasons but I have not noticed difference. I wonder if there is something I can do other than avoiding sun and using sunscreen.
I needed this video, thank you sooo much!!!
Thanks doc just started watching your channel you are excellent !
Thank you so much for making this video!! It plagues Asian women and it is the cause of low self esteem and social isolation, which is very hard for extroverted people. I'm really grateful to you.
You are only sincere doctor on this planet, thankyou for this video , i needed this video
One of the best holistic medical doctor in the world now..! He ought to be the health minister of the whole wide world
Thank you so much for confirming this. I have been observing hair growth and thicker hair.
Great 👍 what did you change that made this improvement?
Bless you Dr Berg 👍🏾
Dr Berg, please dont forget a commonly forgotten cause of elevated androgens in females- CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA. Both PCOS and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) present with high androgens but differ in that the former usually presents with high cortisol/insulin resistance, and the latter with low cortisol and aldosterone.
I’m a female with high testosterone. It was misdiagnosed as lean PCOS with zero elaboration. As my strange symptoms progessively got worse over the years, I had no option but to become my own health advocate as the standard treatment approach of PCOS (birth control) did not help me but actually caused my symptoms to get worse. MUCH WORSE.
After 6 years of investigation, monitoring symptoms, and learning as much as I can about my own health through blood work and tracking menstrual cycles, I came to the undeniable conclusion that my “PCOS” was somehow intertwined with my adrenal glands.
A naturapath/hormone specialist I was seeing finally agreed to run some labs which showed I had a significantly elevated testosterone as well as basal 17 OHP (progesterone) paired with very low cortisol.
I took those pathology results to an endrocrinologist who then diagnosed me with NCCAH (non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia). A commercial genetic test revealed that the cause of my NCCAH was a defeciency of of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase. This enzyme defeciency causes low cortisol which is what caused the majority of my symptoms.. At the time I thought my symptoms were possibly neurological (blurry vision, shaking hands and legs, severe weakness, fainting, nervousness but exhausted etc) but now understand that they were all textbook symptoms of hypoglycemia which was ultimately due to the low cortisol.
I learned that the impaired cortisol biosynthesis leads to a dramatic overproduction of testosterone. This overproduction of testosterone was the cause of my hyper androgenic symptoms such as severe hair loss, excess facial and body hair, early and rapid puberty, mood swings, infertility, and polycystic ovaries.
Being that congenital adrenal hyperplasia is relatively common, I'm unsure as to why it isnt discussed more. If you are a women with PCOS, yet not overweight, I highly suggest you look into your adrenal health. Getting copies off any and all bloodwork you have done is KEY.
If I can prevent just one person from dealing with the years of suffering that comes along with CAH, the novel I just wrote will be so worth it. If western medicine doctors are continuing to medically gaslight you into believing that your symptoms aren't real, DONT GIVE UP. Being your own health advocate through deep research and monitoring WILL GIVE YOU ANSWERS! Don't give up!!!!!
Good tips. Hope you're feeling much better.
Is this why low carb low sugar doesnt help get rid of losing hair and getting facial hair. I'm considered just barely overweight. But it's incredibly hard to lose weight even on keto and fasting. And I still have all the things
Thanks for sharing
But what’s the treatment for this that you’ve found works?
Bless you ! I am so glad you realized your health is actually in your own hands
Thank you for this video!
Very informative! We all in my family appreciate you, Dr Berg! Can you please make a video about milia also? Thank you in advance!
Happy to see Dr. Berg bash Wikipedia. I am tired of shaving my chinny chin chin. I Started keto a few years ago, but I do get off it in times of stress.
His videos on stress should help you out. Also his videos on how to stop sugar/ carbs cravings.
I wish Dr. Berg can live a million years. He is a good professor! He Educated us more than college degrees. We can understand what going on in our bodies and how we can protect and prevent our health problems
He may not live very long but his his videos and good work will stay for ever
Me too!! I could cry at how grateful I am for Dr. Berg. He is this generations Dr. Sebi. He is the catalyst to my healing journey.
Yes and he don’t over complicate things, he’s very easy to listen to with my ADD I love his videos
@khaleda Fhara...... and you and Your family are gonna live how long.....!? Jeez!
Well, let’s pray. Father God please help Dr. Berg remain humble and seeking the truth and speaking that and nothing more or less, it is a promise and Jeremiah 29:11-13 that if we humbly seek the truth with our whole heart we will find it. May he find the truth and prosper, may his children, grandchildren, and him unite in Christ mindedness and enjoy the exodus 20 blessing that comes with honoring your father and mother and living long because of it. May this family always turn to your truth God and may the truth set them free and keep them safe and protected. May no root of bitterness grow in their lives and may know schemes of the devil distract them from the best that you have for them.
Thank you for this.
Much live dr berg. Always quality and quantity!
Thanks for your comment.
Dr Burke you’re a star truly a doctor thank you for helping us
At this point I know you are reading my mind! I literally was looking at my mustache yesterday! 😂😂
His earlier videos on hormones/pcos should help as well.
ok, hold on a minute here!!! so, thx to you and two other respected and trusted youtube dr’s, i took an a1c blood test, found out i was pre diabetic, cut the carbs big time, and noticed (before your video) that my facial hair (which is blond and not noticeable like the video, unless the sun was shining to the side of my face) so my facial fuzz was not coming back. i finally shaved, for the first time, at age 58, just a few months ago. but now that i have lowered my a1c and blood sugar and cut most carbs out, im soft skinned again. so, this is crazy good info. ok, now im going to go back to watching your video.
Thank you for all the hard work 💜
You're very welcome!

Glad to hear that! You're very welcome.
This is much awaited video ...thank you so much dear doc
You're very welcome.
I've struggled with this my whole life more so infertility caused by PCOS. It's heart breaking. I would have to basically not eat & only drink certain juices & water. I've learned alot over the years about acidicity & non stressful environment.
I wish he would make a video about myths and realities around women shaving their facial hair! Soooo many opinions on the internet, Dr Berg needs to set the record straight...
Yes ...👍
Good topic! I've just started shaving parts of my face - after listening to Dr David Lim (dermatologist) on YT, he says waxing or pulling the hair out weakens the cell walls and causes lines and wrinkles..
I only have peach fuzz due to menopause. I she my face about once a week and then have a beautiful smooth look
Yes, would like to know about this too.
Last year my sisters recommend me to shave face with women razors (hyped all over social media).as I was developing facial hair on cheeks...I totally refused..and start working on my insulin... Alhumdolillah. By doing IF ,using berberine ,dim, chromium....low carb to no carbs...my facial hair vanished like I was in shocked as they were not existed...... it's all about high insulin,high androgens,harmonal imbalance....the GAME is all about it
Thank you Dr berg and team for taking my query and giving this video thanks a ton to your team who took it seriously 😊
Great suggestion.
Great information 👍😎.
Dr Berg i were in tears over this just yesterday trying to get rid of my chin hairs thats black and thick. Thank thank you doc once again ❤❤❤
Hair electrolysis can fix your problem fast.
Some of his earlier videos on hormones will help as well.
@@experimenthealthyketo83what are the videos
I exfoliate at least once a day. It’s been working me. And I moisturize everyday.
I’m 1/2 Armenian and I’m glad you did this video doc 😁
finally he touches this topic
I've had PCOS since I was about 13 or so. Back then I would have one or two black hairs on my chin and I'm a blonde. Over the years I researched how to keep it in check, lowered my sugar/carbs, took iodine spray every day, intermittent fasting etc. Now In my late 20s, I weighed 45 k recently as a very sudden and unexpected weight loss, (49 is normal for me) and I have more hair than ever... Yet the cysts have reduced and my cycles are getting somewhat more normal. I'm at a bit of a loss...
This explains so much of my adolescent years. At 11yo I started menstruating and would have incredibly heavy and painful cycles for up to 9 months at a time! Then go without one for a few months. After seeing a doctor they told my mom I would never have children and needed to be on birth control at 12 yo. That was their solution?!?! I'm so glad that you share this knowledge with everyone Dr. Berg. I can now advise my daughters (YES, 4 kids in my 30's) should they ever have issues with their cycles or other issues. I know where to search for answers first.....Dr. Berg's videos and also look at diet/fasting/exercise. Thanks, Dr. Berg this was an eye-opening video.
It seems BCP is their solution for every girl's health issue lmao. Do you know why? Count how many girls in the world×$!!!!!
Wow 😯 thanks for sharing!

I have been STRUGGLING with my facial hair for years, thanks dr berg. Sugar really has been the cause of all my health issues…I’ve got to get rid of this demon
Had mine lasered off.

@@trevor2830 3 sessions. Some came back years later but much less. I can handle it with occasional shave.
you can do it!!!!!!!! trust n believe I had something sweet every single day, plus the hidden sugars and carbs. You can do it. It will be frustrating at first, it gets better. Then you'll develop your routine and will forget about the sugar
Some of Dr Berg’s videos on how to stop sugar cravings really help a lot.
I think this is my last class I need to graduate from Dr Berg Medical institute 😂. When do we get our diplomas? Seriously I’ve been in internship for a while now and have fixed numerous people around me by sharing videos to them😉. Thanks Dr Berg!
Thank you Dr Berg. Great video.
Most welcome! Glad you liked it.

If they have minor paragraphs on pieces of classical art, meanwhile _featuring_ diverse, disparate pages and built in links referring to obscure video game franchises, Wikipedia _isn’t_ about _quality._
Thank you Dr Berg so much for all your videos. Incredible amounts of knowledge you share. I recognise that PCOS is overlooked a lot and this is a serious issue that can be avoided by change of diet, herbs and supplements. Highly appreciated.
Appreciate this Dr. Berg 😊
Thank you kindly!
I’ve had excessive facial hair since I was 16,… over the years… it’s only gotten worse. Some doctors diagnosed me with PCOS,… others say I don’t have it. I can’t get an OBGYN or Primary Care Physician to do a full panel without charging me $1,000’s of extra… can’t get a referral to an endocrinologist… 🤷🏾♀️ so for me,… it’s electrolysis
I’ll change my diet eventually. I have once before and it thinned the hair considerably,… but it’s so hard to maintain under stress… this is great content
Great video! You tackled the facial hair problem at hand as well as the shrinking internet. Back to the books because the internet doesn't exist anymore.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 those are part of the limited internet. Lol!!! Those are all government agencies and you just proved my point. Hahahahah
@@cherylmcnutt9905 ‘Top’ medical centres still follow the outdated food pyramid.
@@leorising8074 Yes , Mayo clinic, went there many years ago with my mom, they couldnt help her with neuropathy. They only reinforced that there's no help for her, bunch of quacks. If only Dr. Berg was there!
Other adrenal gland medical issues besides Cushings is 17 or 21 hydroxylase deficiency can cause facial hair due to high level of androgens. It’s my understanding when the pituitary coverts cholesterol to cortisol it skips either the 17 or 21 step. An endocrinologist is the best to evaluate and treat accordingly.
Thank you so much doctor for teaching on this
Thank you, my pleasure!

Hi Dr Berg, I hope you can also discuss in a video on the causes and treatment of keloids. Thank you
steroids or corticosteroid solution injections helped me. Check with your dermatologist..
@@tessarichards9975 the type of steroids that need a PCT afterwards?
Any information about keeping them away especially after having them removed and the returning ones are unusually thick and cover bigger areas would be greatly improved. If a person is prone to developing keloids, what can be done to prevent them when the usual skin injuries don't seem to be the cause.
@@cathyb6358 extended fasting, intense resistance exercises to produce cortisol, obviously no sugar or carbs or refined foods, super large amounts of green veggies ginger root, whole garlic, whole lemon, pretty much as many natrual anti inflammatory nutrients as possible and copper from the huge amount of greens should help re regulate collagen
Dr. Berg do you have a TH-cam discussion on Dark brown patches or aging spots on face. Any tips how to get rid of them?
Thank you so much for this
I'm truly glad you were able to learn so much.
Whatchoo say! 😳 So happy that you are telling us the truth Doc
You're right Dr Berg, it's so confusing 🙆I have this condition(hirsutism). My mom and mom's side of the family has it.
Same here..
I tore my esophagus earlier this year after ingested a chicken bone, stayed in a surgical unit for a whole week. I was not allowed to eat or drink during the first 48hours, and was fed via a Ryles’ Tube for the next 4 days. I discharged from hospital on the 7th day. I was amazed that I could actually survive without eating for 48 hours, and also shed a few pounds as a bonus. Not only that, I reset my tastebuds, quit coffee and refined sugar. I then came across Dr Berg’s youtube, started practising intermittent fasting, and now on a One Meal A Day. As time goes by, I notice that my face glows because I no longer have too much facial hair! Thank you Dr Berg!
Awesome 👏
Love from Australia
Thank you and so good that this video is out there so people with hirsutism know to get their insulin levels checked out. All take good care of your emotional as well as physical health. Ebs Evers, author.
I sometimes go on a raw food diet 80% raw vegetables and 20% cooked vegetable protein or fish. It seems to help a lot with my unwanted facial hair. And the best way to get rid of unwanted hair is by waxing it and using some type of growth inhibitor.
Great... A funny fact about hirsutism is that "Minoxidil" - the drug currently used to treat alopecia in males - was commonly used as a treatment option for high blood pressure many years ago.
But thanks to it's side effect "HIRSUTISM" it is currently used for man's baldness instead of treating hypertension!!
I have used Minoxidil for alopecea. It works, it only needs one application. It's not recommended for women, but when I get a bald spot, I don't care. Luckily, I haven't gotten them very often.
@@christinerobinson9372 That's great
Its* side effect
The same goes for aldactone ( for females)
Sure thing!
Dr. Berg references heavy menstrual cycles. I am now 62 years old but I can remember when I was in my early 30s, my menstrual cycles were so heavy that I literally had to buy a pack of newborn baby diaper. The overnight pads were never absorbent enough I could never even use tampons that was a waste. As a result of my heavy periods over time, I developed anemia. I started doing some research and realized I needed to stop eating sugar. I stopped eating sugar and white breads. I continued to eat berries… Like blueberries strawberries blackberries and would treat myself with some pineapple once in a while.By the next months cycle I could not believe the difference in my menstrual flow. I just could not believe that sugar alone was the cause. But it’s a fact in my life. Another benefit from not eating sugar is that my toenail fungus (both of my big toenails were yellow and thick) grew out. It took about three months to have my nail healthy again.
Metformin helped my PCOS symptoms a whole lot
I was misdiagnosed with PCOS cause I have dark facial hair on my chin and I used to be overweight. I lost 40lbs on Keto and went to a new doctor and she told me I don't have PCOS. I have regular periods, not heavy, and no acne... All I have is annoying thick chin hair.
so facial hair is not the only symptom fpr pcos, right?
How long to see period back as regular 😊
Dr. Berg can you please do a video on the causes of vitiligo and it's remedy? Thank you.
Vitamin D deficiency
@@stephaniedurgan994 I have a terrible vitamin D deficiency, no vitiligo. Wonder if there’s more to it. I heard that it was a immune deficiency
I resolved the problem with Laser Hair Removal (Gentalmax Laser @ a local medspa)! Works amazing so far- wish I did it ten years ago.
I went from heavy cycles to no cycles at the age of 42, my voice has always been on the deeper side, and as many times as I have missed taking my birth control pills when I was younger because of the nausea, I should’ve been pregnant so many times. But never once got pregnant so I believe I was infertile. But don’t have to worry about that now at my age. I only have the peach fuzz and they’re white So can’t really see them unless you look really close. It is annoying that they can get a little on the longer side so I do have to trim them up
Me too
Please try electrolysis hair removal
@@nuratanya3813 Why? You literally can’t see them unless your eyes are 5 inches from my face
Thank you Dr Berg! I’m 40 and just started getting facial hair around 5 years ago. Seems crazy but When my gallbladder was removed is when mine started. Dr put me on progesterone and it seemed to get worse. So frustrating as a woman. Appreciate your help!
Same was my case, full facial hair...Masha Allah now no more facial hair after lowering insulin......simple cut carbs or go for low carb and cut sugar +dairy...your facial hair will disappear in a month
Omg i'm 42 and I removed gallbladder too...I didn't know it could be related...I have a lot white facial hair on the cheeks near ear...it's so annoying

Dear Dr. Berg, I am suffering from Tinnitus and nerve pain on my head. Can you please update the video and your recommendation regarding tinnitus and, if any, auto immune inner ear decease, please. Thank you from Canada.
There is a lot of solar flares causing the symptoms that you're speaking of. They've been hitting for a few days and we'll continue to feel the effects easily through the 22nd. World News Report Today is a good channel for space weather, Paul White has an interesting take too. Exciting times.
? Could you clarify your question? Dr Berg made at least 4 videos on tinnitus. Which question do you have that were not answered in some of these? Same with his videos on auto immune.
Can you do a video on foods to consume, a detailed food list?
I have been on metformin for 6yrs and never helped with facial hair.watched videos similar to this one and started cutting out as much processed foods as possible. It is hard. Stretch do yoga and added turmeric caps and fish oil to daily routine. I still have facial hair , but have had a significant reduction in growth.cutting out foofs with all the chemicals helped drasticaly
What do you say about a topical minoxdil?? It grew back my edges but I’m scared to continue using it I heard Minoxdil ages you fast it attacks your collagen, I been using it for about 4 months I still haven’t see any wrinkled skin or dark circles under my eyes yet tho please share your thoughts Dr
I think his videos on hair growth are much more helpful since using his data solves the causes of hair loss.
Hi Doc, please make a video on greying hair
Interesting how in the USA, men with Grey hair are called distinguished and women with Grey hair are called hags. This is changing, thankfully.
I'm very curious about my lack of grey at my age, my brother's 5 years younger & has plenty of grey. I have maybe 10 grey hairs. People have assumed I dye my hair for the last 20 years. It's annoying being called a liar over such a petty issue. I've cut out multiple friendships because of it.
@@brrjohnson8131 Is it possible one of your parents has grey hair and your brother got those genes but you did not? Other wise if you can list all the foods you eat that your brother does not may be it can help others to test.
@@rockyabhay we live in different states. No idea what he eats. My diet is limited due to intercystial cystitis (no citrus, onion, tomato, etc., only since '05) Brother has very little gray for 55 yo but his is visible, mine isn't. Mom & dad never went completely snow-white in their 80's. I also don't have age spots, but attribute that to my vitamin w selenium. I realize it's somewhat genetic. Still very strange.
