I love how honest you guys are about losing your own hair and how it’s actually a worry for you. I have hair loss and it bothers me so badly. No other skin issue bothers me as badly as the hair loss. I don’t know why.
After recovering from COVID, I noticed that my hair was falling out more than usual. To address this concern, I made some positive changes to my lifestyle. I adjusted my diet, ensuring that I consumed more protein and vitamins. Additionally, I started taking daily walks for at least 20 minutes to stay active. I also practiced 10 minutes of meditation daily to reduce stress. For my hair care, I used littleextra cocoonion hair oil twice a week, leaving it on for 5 hours before washing it off with littleextra's natural mild shampoo and conditioner. I also started drinking amla juice in the mornings. Moreover, I decided to cut back on smoking and drinking, indulging only once a month for social gatherings. All these changes played a significant role in reducing my hair fall. Thank you for being there for me!
My mom is dealing with hair loss and it truly breaks my heart seeing her losing her confidence and hating herself more everyday, I’ve been looking for solutions for her I hope I can help her
@@musicloverdumdidum collagen gets broken down into parts that the body then reassembles into collagen. But you'd want to consume collagen hydrolysate so the body doesn't need to go thru the extra process of breaking it down. There are lots of studies that show this
@@pinkette oh 🧐 interesting 🤔 . I have listend to a doctor who said that (for anti anging) it does not work to drink collagen.

Ive been losing hair for over 4 years now and my blood tests were always “normal”. Fast forward to now, a dermatologist finally told me that my iron levels need to be much much higher than what I have. Even though they appear to be normal, ive been deficient all these years causing my hair loss.
I'm also having hairfall...my Hb is,also normal..with the blood reports for iron showing normal how did your doc found that you have iron deficiency??please reply..
@@t_a7923my doctor would always say my results were normal and that I was losing hair because of stress. This time I really pushed to get a dermatologist perspective and I told her that I wasn’t stressed at all so she gave me the referral. The derm said my ferritin levels needed to be at least at 50 and I’m at 30 right now. I used to be lower before too. But all those years of being low can affect the hair
@@yp9895 yeah..I'm also suspecting vitD bcz I have had very minimal direct sun exposure since last year due to lockdown n my schedule . I did thyroid Hb diabetes etc, and they were normal..n doc is not asking for vitD profile😕(I'm no one to judge a docs treatment, they know what they ate doing..but still I wish he asked me do to it)..anyway tysm for sharing..take care 💖
I’ve been dealing with alopecia universalis (complete loss on head, face and body) for 8 years. I quit my job and rarely leave the house. I’m only 29. Hoping for a miracle cure one day because I’ve tried everything!
Bro u can see hijama therapy it helps consultant a physisian(see hijama videos on alopaecia Universalis)dr.mahmood Khan done with patient All the best bro don't loose hope ❤️
I understand you very well I cried for months and years and even wanted to leave this life, but now I regret it because I have wasted my life being depressed over that instead of enjoy it and just wait for that miracle cure as well but while being happy. There’s wigs which I refused to wear, there’s eyelashes and many ways to do you eyebrows, now I have fun with the wigs one day shower and blonde and the other long and brown etc
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🥺 Consider doing a video (or having a part of a video) that deals with PCOS. I am struggling to find good trustworthy resources that deals with the cosmetic issues with PCOS. If they have already done this video, someone please give me a link 🙏 Thank you in advance.
I've been dealing with hair loss for 2 years now, under a dermatologist care for over a year. I have been on a prescription for that time and was starting to see tiny regrowth but it's all gone now and idk why. I see my dermatologist in a few weeks and am really going to push for more treatment especially with you both stressing time is of the essence. I will say hair loss as a female, especially in today's society, is absolutely devastating 😔
@@aidan5879 the dermatologist prescribed a topically minoxidil and increased my spironlactone. Unfortunately the insurance doesn't want to cover the topical so fighting with them. Thank you for checking in
Hairless as a young male is exactly the same. When he get older is more acceptable but at 20 having a huge bald spot like me destroys your confidence and people treat you like a weirdo.
@@manuelsilva6244 I'm sorry but I wouldn't say it's "exactly the same". Since biblical times a woman's hair has been called/seen as her "crowning glory". It is very much tied into the fabric of our society so much so that even women having short hair has been seen as "less attractive" and "less feminine". A woman who decides to shave her head is seen as sick, having cancer, or having some other debilitating illness otherwise why would she choose to shave her head. While males who shave their heads are often considered "powerful" or "sexy". It's very much an option for men, not so much for women (though that is slowly changing). There also has been a lot more scientific study on male pattern baldness and a lot more study on the medications used by males and their effects on males. Most medications have not been geared towards women and comprehensive studies of their effects on females have not been done or are fairly recent. I'm sorry you've dealt with negative feelings or have been treated badly because of your hair loss. People suck. We can only try to be the best version of ourselves that we can be and control what we put out into the universe.
I can personally attest to the fact that Monoxidil does work. About 18 years ago I was in a very deep depression and had extreme anxiety attacks. When I realized I was losing hair in small clumps around my face I decided to try Rogaine (for women, of course 😉). It didn't take long for my hair to start growing back. It was a huge relief!!! The only thing was most of the new hair was turning GREY! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh well I'd rather have grey hair that I can color than no hair at all. PS; Now I'm in the process of getting all the dye out so I can be a natural gray hair old lady 😆😆
Definitely appreciate this content and the organized and evidence-based way it is presented 👍🏼 TH-cam is lacking this and is a cesspool when it comes to hair content, so thank you!
This amy grow herbal hair oil will be a staple in my hair care regimen. I love the mild smell, the silky texture, and the softness after application. There's no greasy build and I notice less hair shedding
There is a lot of importance to having two professionals share tips and information on such a delicate matter. Thank you so much for bringing this content to the hair loss community.
I’ve been using this hair growth serum of reactivate littleexttrra for quite a while now and happy with the results I’ve got with it... it is my third serum bottle now. This serum has to be applied to the scalp so it performs like magic to a dry scalp. I put on it normally before going to bed and just rub it well into my hair....and wash it the next morning. I have noticed hair growth and improvement in my hairline.
After experiencing hair loss due to stress, the Reactivate Hair Growth Serum has been a real blessing. My hairline is now getting filled in with new hair!
@@peksanga8779yes they are bots. You can also tell by all the likes but few comments under the comment. They’re annoying but unfortunately can’t be controlled.
Absolutely, Reactivate serum is effective; it truly works very well and gives you the desired result. However, one must remember is that patience is required to wait and give time for the results. It's a lengthy process and typically takes around 3 to 4 months to see the visible results. However, the results are truly effective.
It has been shown that post patrum stage causes hair loss i guess due to changes in hormones, also stress and other factors having to adjust to new routine can also be a contributing factor
I am merely 31 , woman, and My hair was thick and often long, no bleach, color etc. I heattreated when blowdrying more often letting it dry itself. Then came covid and after I suddenly began shedding and learnt it was common after covid, a sort of PTSD. If you’re supposed to act quickly I guess I did. Schampoo&conditioner specialized for hair loss, Priorin, switched to a softer brush and stopped all heat. Now use function of beauty sh&cond with hairgoals to keep my hair strong and heatprotected. No more Planning in good time to shower as with the other product it was like 3 min leavein for the sh & 5 min for the cond, such a Chore and added stress. Starting to bounce back now, shedding in chunks gone and the length have become more Me. Still waiting for thickness to return. This vid is inspiring.
zarbon uses ancient Russian recipes that have been hidden for centuries, few years ago an American TV company visited a Russian village where everyone has perfect hair. However, no one wanted to reveal anything related to it, they even chased them away in the end and they barely got out alive. What I don't understand is how mrzarbon find out about those recipes
Loved how you talked about the different types and stages of hair loss, and the possible treatments. This is something not many people know about. Thank you!
Certain types of scarring alopecia are considered an emerging epidemic. More awareness needs to happen. An episode dedicated to the many types of scarring alopecias would be awesome.
My hair has been falling out like crazy since I had COVID 6 weeks ago - really hope time gets things back on track as it’s really getting me down seeing all of it coming out out constantly…
I loose hair from medication for autoimmune disease so I really understand and feel for you. What makes a difference for me are 2 vitamins, viviscal and one that has silica, zinc and biotin in it. I recently started derma rolling and was really surprised to see that making a difference. I have an led panel and just started that too. I’d rather do these than minoxidil. All the best.
You might have covid induced telogen effluvium. Usually 10 per cent of our hairs are in the shedding stage. But the long term impacts if covid can cause up too 30 per cent of your hairs to go into the shedding stage. It does recover eventually but can take several months.
@@rohitrudrathiyagaraj5600 Hi, I added a biotin vitamin recently. One is a combination vitamin that’s primarily silica but it has zinc in it. The other is viviscal. They say to take one vitamin a day but I take 2 to 3 of the silica and 6 of the viviscal both split up half in the morning and half at night. Oh I also take about 6 or 7,000 mg of vitamin d in the morning. I came to this high quantity of vitamins by experimenting, when I go lower my hair falls out. But I also have an autoimmune disease so that makes a difference. And yes I do think derma rolling has helped. Good luck!!
As a person who is dealing with hair loss #1 finasteride (very very very few suffer from side effects). #2 minoxidil (you will need to use this with finasteride, they go hand in hand and minoxidil will not stop your hair loss by itself. Also awesome video 👌
My dad has tried applying castor oil with drops of rosemary essential oil, and we noticed new hair growth on his bald spot we jokingly call "tonsure" after 3 months of consistent use. Hope someone will explore this more in a controlled research.
Hi hope you are well Would you mind sharing more about this e.g how many rosemary essential oil drops How many times in a week does he use this Thankyouu
I started putting a dime size amount of castor oil on my hand and 5 drops of rosemary oil and rubbing it together then going through my hair. I’m on day 2
I'm dealing with hair loss and plaque parapsoriasis at the same time which makes me depressed from time to time, but I recognise the fact that if I let it get to me, it might get worse so I try to stay positive majority of the time.
So detailed and thank you so much for putting headings along the time line. It really helps people like me who wants to go to a certain topic over again. Both of you are awesome!
Year on finasteride and 6 months on minoxidil and hairloss still worsening:') couldn't imagine how much worse it would be if i hadn't started. these treatments are sooo accessible with online providers, start!!
I'm afraid to get on any pills. I lost most of my hair over 2 months when I was 24. Luckily I haven't lost any more hair for the next 12 years. Not even a bit. But worried that if I start these meds, then stop there will be a rebound effect and it will get worse.
Realizing that their clinic is not too far from where I live 🙌🏽 I had terrible post-partum hair loss two years ago especially in the temple area, my scalp felt tender for a whole month from the hairloss, but luckily it grew back. I recently started to lose hair again, almost in the same pattern as before and would clog the shower drain after every shower. My ponytail has always been thick, but it has halved in size...again, I see a ton of baby hair growing back but the temple areas are still very thin. I hope it was just related to stress, post covid, and hope it does not lead to permanent hair loss 🤞🏽
I'm a woman and I've been taking both Finasteride and Spironol for over 8 years now. No side effects, but the results are very slow. The balding is not progressing, but the regrowth is quite slow. I have also tried Minoxidil orally, but this one had pretty harsh side effects I didn't like.
I would love your perspective on supplements for skin benefits, such as collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid and phytoceramides. And also sunscreen pills such as Heliocare. Love your content! Thank you for keeping us so informed!🍀🌟
I have Alopecia Areata, I hope you will cover that too some time in the future. However, I do hope you mention the number one effective "treatment": acceptance and helper hair ❤️
Thanks for this excellent, comprehensive video! I'm especially glad to hear you're planning on making this a series. When you do, would you talk specifically about women and hair loss? And also how hair loss (and hair loss treatment options) can differ for premenopausal women, perimenopausal women, and postmenopausal women?
I'm a retired hairstylist who is now a ionizing radiation exposure researcher. I've had clients use ancient remedies along with medical advice. Using a soft brush stroking through the hair down to the scalp each morning and night really stimulates blood flow. Bringing needed nutrients to the follicles. Stress reduction. Argonne oil is a Middle Eastern remedy . Furthermore female Rogaine has caused some of my female clients to complain their hair became TOO THICK. I referred women to have their thyroid and Parathyroid checked as well as menopause for women. For my cancer clients I found a product called Nioxin started at the end of chemo and radiation almost always ( in my experience with 300 clients) the hair grew in smooth and not that chemo dry and fuzzy. Used for regular hair loss seems to strengthen and enhance the overall follicles. But at least try the 100 brushes a day 2x a day. ❤
So I've been using 5% minoxidil topical solution for about 2.5 months now. And while I've started to grow hair at my hairline, less so on my crown where I've also been applying religiously, I've also started growing some facial hair. This is definitely a side effect women would want to know and this is why i'm writing this here. It's not excessive and I'm very careful with the amount I use. I apply just about 5 sprays even though 6-7 is recommended. But there are research saying that this is one of the observed side effects in women (and men sometimes do not grow facial hair despite using minoxidil in an attempt to grow facial hair =_=) I'm still looking into how I can reverse the facial hair growth whilst continuing usage of minoxidil. It might be that a further reduce of dosage might work or even using a lower percentage minoxidil might be best for women.
I know this comment is old but I read in one of the reviews for Minoxidil that the facial growth was from when you're sleeping at night and it smears on your pillow and gets to your face. It was advised to apply Minoxidil no less than 4 hours before bedtime so it'll have time to be absorbed fully, which makes it tricky to use twice a day. Have you found a remedy to yours?
Another thought you could have your facial hair follicles lasered. Same therapy when you get your bikini line and armpits lasered to get rid of hair they can do it for your face. It generally works better if you have dark hair follicles not as well for blonde hair etc
I take spironolactone. It completely cured my hormonal acne. It also helps with my body hair; however, I am so confused on how it reduces body hair but aids in head hair loss.
I feel like more younger people (20's) are experiencing hair loss today compared to when I was in my 20's. I always wondered if the different types of birth control pills played a role like maybe if it throws hormones out of wack. Would be nice if there was more research or stats done on the diff types and its possible effects on our hair.
I have a experience hairloss since I started to take a birth control pills. and even though my hormones are normal fine. When I stop taking pills my hair grows back little bit. And I'm just 33 years old. I started to loss my hair at 23 when I had my first child.
Men are also having way more hairless and younger than women. People always say it's stress but I call it bullshit. People in the past had a lot of stress too and they started losing hair way later. There's definitely something going on. I don't know if it's good, lack of vitamin D or something. It's not just hormonal from birth control because men are losing more hair younger too. For example my father and my grandfather's where bald but they lost their hair when they where 40. My older brother started losing is hair when he was 27 and I started when I was 18. Younger people are losing hair faster and the medicine doesn't care to research on a cure or what's causing it because it makes a lot of money to companies to seel products that you have to take forever and that have mild results instead or solving the problem. Even transplants most of the times have to be done multiple times.
I gave birth to my first in the beginning of Covid in May 2020. Six weeks later my dad passed away in July 2020. Two months after that I was pregnant again in October 2020. You should have seen my hair in the front- it all fell out! I think my body was so stressed it rejected all hairs from growing. My hair was absolutely horrendous and STILL is recovering 2.5 years later.
Hi Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah Thank you for this video. I did sign up for a zoom consult with Bosley and hope to see some difference. I have consulted with at least 3 dermatologists in the past but did not receive much help/insight/outcome for my hair loss. I appreciate your videos on skincare. You two are amazing on screen! Cheers!!! I
I have started losing my hair over the last five years, I am 65. I have a friend, who is a guy and he is 36. He was losing his hair very quickly and had lost a lot before he went to a DR. This Dr. specializes in hair loss and has 2 facilities in Austin, TX. The Dr. started him on a prescription of Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Biotin. He has been taking it about 11 months and has a head full of hair now. I noticed you said Finasteride was for men. I called this same Dr. and he put me on the same presciption. I have only been on it for 2 weeks, so not near enough time to see a difference. I am sure hoping that this helps me , even though its mostly for men:)
I shed a lot of hair after loosing weight (despite me following a very healthy diet) - thankfully it stopped just as quickly as it stared...but it's really scary when you wash your hair and it comes out in strands. I still shed hair sometimes during the year, but it never resulted in visible thinning or bald spots so I stopped stressing about it. BTW- a lot of men look good bald- some even better than with hair. ;)
Rlly appreciate this video, I can't lie it is a lot easier to listen knowing that you guys understand the same struggle/worry that we have. I find it very difficult to listen to those doctors with fantastic hair telling us that finasteride is harmless
Dr. Dray has some information on this too. For women sometimes the way we treat our hair like harsh hairstyles, chemical treatments and the way we wash and dry or style hair can cause hair breakage. I’m glad they are covering the scientific ways to get help.
Check your ferritin. Lots of videos on TH-cam about ferritin & hair loss. It’s crazy how overlooked/dismissed it is by doctors and yet causes so much hair loss
In the UK the Belgravia hair loss clinc is useful. Castor oil makes the hair look thicker, but it would be nice to have a study for 4C type hair. Thank you both for good content.
I'm 27 and I'm going through hair loss on my temples. My dad was bald so I already knew that I needed to focus on it. Right now I'm only using specific shampoos, conditioners and serums (such as loreal's botanicals line) and even though I feel like I'm not seeing any changes at least my hair is getting stronger. I don't wanna go through those medical procedures but I'd get any advice as much as I can about the "hair care" stuff. WE NEED A HAIR CARE ROUTINE VIDEO!! Thanks and love you!
There's this brand called alpecin I think it's called has coffee ingrediant In it, meant to improve hair loss etc. I might give it a go cause like you temples are starting to change
I appreciate your input. Make sure to apply the reactivatte hair growth serum from liitllextra each day for 3-4 months. Using it consistently helped me to achieve improvement in hair growth. I had applied 2 bottles already
Thank you so much, very helpful information. My husband lost his hair at a very early age. When he was about 24 (genetic) and I'm worried about my three boys, this has surly put me on right track to be prepared as soon as I see the first signs of hair loss.
I do know that castor oil does grow hair you take castor oil and onion seed oil half of each and a few drops of Rosemary after using the 1 mm Derma roller (Gin Amber Beauty for roller). Keep oil on hair for 2 to 3 hours. Shampoo out the oil and style as usual. Do this at night. I have plain castor oil in a mascara tube and use on my eyelashes and that works to get them longer. I put same oil on my eyebrows too! 😀
Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful! Next video can you please talk about scalp treatments, scalp massagers, silk pillowcases and microfiber hair towels?
I have PCOS so I’ve been struggling with hair loss for some time. I used to apply Toppik hair fibers on the crown area of my head every morning after I washed my hair. It was a problem because couldn’t use it on wet hair and i needed to apply the fibers before going to work... and because my hair is curly, I have always let it my hair air dry since that’s what works for me. So I then started drying the roots of my hair with a dry washcloth and then with my fingers by massaging/rubbing my scalp for about 5 minutes. After about 6 months or so of consistently doing this, I noticed my hair didn’t look so thin anymore. I’m now at a point where I no longer use Toppik. I’ve continued massaging/rubbing my scalp after I shower for about 5 minutes and also throughout the day. My hair is still thin but I no longer feel bald or feel like crying if I don’t apply Toppik on my scalp. I’m hoping that by continuing to do this I will see an overall improvement on the top of my head.
What are your thoughts about these so called DIY for hair loss? How effective are they and how often would you need to do them to get results? You guys have a great set of hair by the way 😍
Hi, doc. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been waiting for this topic. I want to ask you about a few things. Is biotin really would help me to fight my hair loss? In shampoo, in conditioner, or take it orally, which one is the best way to use biotin. Also, could you please tell us about Stemoxydine. Does it really able to fight hair loss? Thank you so much
Microneedling upregulates SULT1A1 in the hair follicle, so stimulates the transition of Minoxidil to Minoxidil Sulphate; the active metabolite. So it will make more people respond to topical Minoxidil. Alkalizing the environment also shifts this chemical equilibrium to create more of the sulphate. Applying tretinoin after microneedling also stimulates SULT1A1, I use this mostly at the hairline. I have a series of videos on Minoxidil that dives into these areas.
I have androgenetic alopecia and started noticing that I'm losing hair in my very early 20s (thanks to my dad's side of the family... Lol). Fortunately I've always been a very confident person and it has never really bothered me and I rock a bald head very well. I'm now in my early 30s and am really getting tired of the constant shaving and the side effects (shaving bumps) and have decided to try Minoxidil and micro needling. It's still very early to pronounce on any progress or lack thereof but I'm hoping for the best. 😊
I’m 22 years old. Has anybody heard of hair loss from overuse of dry shampoo? I noticed drastic hair loss recently, especially long, new strands that aren’t ready to come out. I did some research and I feel like a lot of women don’t know about this. I looked it up out of curiosity and everything I’m going through with my hair loss is exactly what I’m reading online. The timing, everything. The dry shampoo can clog hair follicles, causing them to be weakened, therefore making hair fall out. It also makes the follicles stick together which is why is takes the new strands out too. I have easily lost over 50% of my hair since October.
minoxidil and retinols are best friends i swear both of them make a good team like they make u panic by showing u how horrible could things start and the ending it casually with a mind blowing results 😂 like why all the drama lol i love them both the best traumatic bond ever 😂❤
I actually watched one of your videos a few months ago there was something about rosemary so I decided to give it ago. So I boiled it with water and then added more water to dilute it after and used it as a spray after shower for 4 months. I actually got more baby hairs in my temples and people said where I split my hair was also less visible. But I also kinda get a flaky and weird texture scalp from it.
Also I feel bad for people in Canada suffering from hair loss because in Alberta are least, it takes a few months to get in with dermatologists…and some a year!
Hair loss is a tricky fix, but I think committing to minoxidil and some light microneedling combined with finestaride is best. Finestaride is often overdosed because of the long halflife. 1 mg every 3 day should be enough to block the DHT conversion and minimize the downsides. Guess I need to start this to stop the loss :S Also stress management and happiness in life should not be neglected. Stress is a hair killer to.
I have used olive oil for 4 years. My goal is just to nourish my hair. My hair is 3c. But in some months, my hair is stronger and becoming bigger. In particular, my new hair is growing faster and in more volume than I expected. I searched Google and know olive oil has a lot of protein, so it makes your hair become stronger and grow faster, and your hair is thicker than normal. So if you lose hair, please use olive oil before or after washing your hair.
Today is the first time I have discovered your videos. So glad I did. Thank you for all of the information you give on all concerns from hair, skin and nails. Wish I could find a dermatologist like both of you.
I started losing hair- crown area on both sides. Did tons of research and did blood work and found out I was vit D deficient. Hair is grown back!!!!!! Soo happyyyy!! Just get blood work done, usually it’s low vit D or low iron. Orrr low testosterone.
thank you for this video - since this will be a series i have 2 suggestions you could maybe talk about 1. does working out increases hairloss? - on the internet i have found conflicting information about this one - lifting weights => increases testosteron => increases DHT - some articles i red say the duration of the increase in testosteron is too short which does not result in faster hairloss 2. Is there something like a topical Finasteride which could replace the minoxidil? Thank you !
Years ago when in my 30’s, my beloved Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Around the same time, my beloved sister in law, died from an aggressive form of breast cancer at 36 yrs old. I developed alopecia areata in my scalp and my dermatologist prescribed Minoxidil. It did help the alopecia but I also grew thick black hair at the top of my very fair skinned nose!! 😂😂😂
My younger brother was a great responder to finasteride and topical minoxidil, he even uses the worthless laser light device. I told him ditch the laser light and try dermarolling. But all in all his crown and temples have tightened up significantly.
So cool and interesting. Just like skincare, there should be more videos on scalp treatments and hair loss. How do y’all feel about hair growth products like Vegamour? Do they really work?
Hi Doctorly! Thank you so much for all your great content! I would LOVE to see a video on how to take care of your scalp and skin on your head for people who are already bald (and who love it!). How do you prevent ingrown hairs when shaving, what's with all these bizarrely branded bald creams that seem too overpriced? Basically: how do you treat your head once it's bald and how to care for it so it looks good and healthy. Thanks!
Hi Drs! I'm experiencing a bit of hair thinning (nothing severe) and I want to promote hair growth. I'm using topical minoxidil around 3/4 times per week on average given that I styled my hair and don't wash it everyday. Is monixil still effective even if used a few times a week?
I think they talked about it. It won't work unless done daily. If you go their website they say, Yeah you can skip a night once a month but even once a week will reduce it's effectiveness
I love how honest you guys are about losing your own hair and how it’s actually a worry for you. I have hair loss and it bothers me so badly. No other skin issue bothers me as badly as the hair loss. I don’t know why.
Because it's genetic maybe your grandpa, your diet, stress
They have black hair it’s not gonna recede.
*imo balding is inevitable but we can do our best to slow it down*

She has to get to the root of her hairless
Is it genetics
Or vitamin deficiency or hormonal etc
Woman can use minoxidil
Castor oil once a week over night
Keto shampoo once a week
She should find value in other things besides her looks. That's my advice. Encourage her to not caring

So grateful
Ive been losing hair for over 4 years now and my blood tests were always “normal”. Fast forward to now, a dermatologist finally told me that my iron levels need to be much much higher than what I have. Even though they appear to be normal, ive been deficient all these years causing my hair loss.
I'm also having hairfall...my Hb is,also normal..with the blood reports for iron showing normal how did your doc found that you have iron deficiency??please reply..
@@t_a7923my doctor would always say my results were normal and that I was losing hair because of stress. This time I really pushed to get a dermatologist perspective and I told her that I wasn’t stressed at all so she gave me the referral. The derm said my ferritin levels needed to be at least at 50 and I’m at 30 right now. I used to be lower before too. But all those years of being low can affect the hair
@@t_a7923 they also recommended checking vitamin D, being low in Vit D Can also affect your hair.
@@yp9895 yeah..I'm also suspecting vitD bcz I have had very minimal direct sun exposure since last year due to lockdown n my schedule . I did thyroid Hb diabetes etc, and they were normal..n doc is not asking for vitD profile😕(I'm no one to judge a docs treatment, they know what they ate doing..but still I wish he asked me do to it)..anyway tysm for sharing..take care 💖
@@t_a7923 I hope your hair gets better, I know how it feels it knowing what’s wrong with it 🥺good luck 💕

I’ve been dealing with alopecia universalis (complete loss on head, face and body) for 8 years. I quit my job and rarely leave the house. I’m only 29. Hoping for a miracle cure one day because I’ve tried everything!
Am sorry. Don’t loose hope and don’t kick yourself in your home. Your friends will be those that care for you will hair or without !
Bro u can see hijama therapy it helps consultant a physisian(see hijama videos on alopaecia Universalis)dr.mahmood Khan done with patient All the best bro don't loose hope ❤️
I'm curious why did you quit your job.
I understand you very well I cried for months and years and even wanted to leave this life, but now I regret it because I have wasted my life being depressed over that instead of enjoy it and just wait for that miracle cure as well but while being happy. There’s wigs which I refused to wear, there’s eyelashes and many ways to do you eyebrows, now I have fun with the wigs one day shower and blonde and the other long and brown etc
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🥺 Consider doing a video (or having a part of a video) that deals with PCOS. I am struggling to find good trustworthy resources that deals with the cosmetic issues with PCOS.
If they have already done this video, someone please give me a link 🙏
Thank you in advance.
Dr Davin Lim (derm) has done one and Mama Doctor Jones (ob/gyn) has a couple.

😫🙏🏼 i am so insecure behind PCOS.
I've been dealing with hair loss for 2 years now, under a dermatologist care for over a year. I have been on a prescription for that time and was starting to see tiny regrowth but it's all gone now and idk why. I see my dermatologist in a few weeks and am really going to push for more treatment especially with you both stressing time is of the essence. I will say hair loss as a female, especially in today's society, is absolutely devastating 😔
Heyy! Any update?
@@aidan5879 the dermatologist prescribed a topically minoxidil and increased my spironlactone. Unfortunately the insurance doesn't want to cover the topical so fighting with them. Thank you for checking in
Hairless as a young male is exactly the same. When he get older is more acceptable but at 20 having a huge bald spot like me destroys your confidence and people treat you like a weirdo.
@@manuelsilva6244 I'm sorry but I wouldn't say it's "exactly the same". Since biblical times a woman's hair has been called/seen as her "crowning glory". It is very much tied into the fabric of our society so much so that even women having short hair has been seen as "less attractive" and "less feminine". A woman who decides to shave her head is seen as sick, having cancer, or having some other debilitating illness otherwise why would she choose to shave her head. While males who shave their heads are often considered "powerful" or "sexy". It's very much an option for men, not so much for women (though that is slowly changing). There also has been a lot more scientific study on male pattern baldness and a lot more study on the medications used by males and their effects on males. Most medications have not been geared towards women and comprehensive studies of their effects on females have not been done or are fairly recent. I'm sorry you've dealt with negative feelings or have been treated badly because of your hair loss. People suck. We can only try to be the best version of ourselves that we can be and control what we put out into the universe.
devastating. I feel sick sometimes just beyond depressed
I can personally attest to the fact that Monoxidil does work. About 18 years ago I was in a very deep depression and had extreme anxiety attacks. When I realized I was losing hair in small clumps around my face I decided to try Rogaine (for women, of course 😉). It didn't take long for my hair to start growing back. It was a huge relief!!! The only thing was most of the new hair was turning GREY! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh well I'd rather have grey hair that I can color than no hair at all.
PS; Now I'm in the process of getting all the dye out so I can be a natural gray hair old lady 😆😆
Have you been using it daily for 18 years?
Are you still using the minoxidil? Or did you only use it short term?
and yet for me, six months and it's just getting worse. I also have the laser cap and take Nutrafol for hte last three months
Definitely appreciate this content and the organized and evidence-based way it is presented 👍🏼 TH-cam is lacking this and is a cesspool when it comes to hair content, so thank you!
This amy grow herbal hair oil will be a staple in my hair care regimen. I love the mild smell, the silky texture, and the softness after application. There's no greasy build and I notice less hair shedding
I got my hair back in some months.
Best oil for hair regrowth.
There is a lot of importance to having two professionals share tips and information on such a delicate matter. Thank you so much for bringing this content to the hair loss community.
I got a hair transplant back in October, the best decision ever!
I’ve been using this hair growth serum of reactivate littleexttrra for quite a while now and happy with the results I’ve got with it... it is my third serum bottle now.
This serum has to be applied to the scalp so it performs like magic to a dry scalp.
I put on it normally before going to bed and just rub it well into my hair....and wash it the next morning. I have noticed hair growth and improvement in my hairline.
After experiencing hair loss due to stress, the Reactivate Hair Growth Serum has been a real blessing. My hairline is now getting filled in with new hair!
are y'all bots? cos I see this comment in Dr Dray Hair Loss video too.
Reactivate Hair Growth Serum has regrown my hair.
@@peksanga8779yes they are bots. You can also tell by all the likes but few comments under the comment. They’re annoying but unfortunately can’t be controlled.
Absolutely, Reactivate serum is effective; it truly works very well and gives you the desired result. However, one must remember is that patience is required to wait and give time for the results. It's a lengthy process and typically takes around 3 to 4 months to see the visible results. However, the results are truly effective.
I'm 3 months post partum and I've started losing my hair in chunks so this has come at the perfect time
It has been shown that post patrum stage causes hair loss i guess due to changes in hormones, also stress and other factors having to adjust to new routine can also be a contributing factor
I'm happily bald, but I know this info will really help my pre-balding friends. More content like this please :)
I am merely 31 , woman, and My hair was thick and often long, no bleach, color etc. I heattreated when blowdrying more often letting it dry itself.
Then came covid and after I suddenly began shedding and learnt it was common after covid, a sort of PTSD.
If you’re supposed to act quickly I guess I did. Schampoo&conditioner specialized for hair loss, Priorin, switched to a softer brush and stopped all heat. Now use function of beauty sh&cond with hairgoals to keep my hair strong and heatprotected. No more Planning in good time to shower as with the other product it was like 3 min leavein for the sh & 5 min for the cond, such a Chore and added stress.
Starting to bounce back now, shedding in chunks gone and the length have become more Me. Still waiting for thickness to return.
This vid is inspiring.
zarbon uses ancient Russian recipes that have been hidden for centuries,
few years ago an American TV company visited a Russian village where everyone has perfect hair.
However, no one wanted to reveal anything related to it, they even chased them away in the end and they barely got out alive.
What I don't understand is how mrzarbon find out about those recipes
Loved how you talked about the different types and stages of hair loss, and the possible treatments. This is something not many people know about. Thank you!
What laser light option do you recommend? Can I use my Omnilux face max on my scalp?
Certain types of scarring alopecia are considered an emerging epidemic. More awareness needs to happen. An episode dedicated to the many types of scarring alopecias would be awesome.
My hair has been falling out like crazy since I had COVID 6 weeks ago - really hope time gets things back on track as it’s really getting me down seeing all of it coming out out constantly…
I loose hair from medication for autoimmune disease so I really understand and feel for you. What makes a difference for me are 2 vitamins, viviscal and one that has silica, zinc and biotin in it. I recently started derma rolling and was really surprised to see that making a difference. I have an led panel and just started that too. I’d rather do these than minoxidil. All the best.
You might have covid induced telogen effluvium. Usually 10 per cent of our hairs are in the shedding stage. But the long term impacts if covid can cause up too 30 per cent of your hairs to go into the shedding stage. It does recover eventually but can take several months.
Omg! Me too! I’m wondering if dry shampoo is a no no while the hairs are fighting for their lives!
@@rhonda6791 what are those two vitamins and how's your derma roll progress
@@rohitrudrathiyagaraj5600
Hi, I added a biotin vitamin recently. One is a combination vitamin that’s primarily silica but it has zinc in it. The other is viviscal. They say to take one vitamin a day but I take 2 to 3 of the silica and 6 of the viviscal both split up half in the morning and half at night. Oh I also take about 6 or 7,000 mg of vitamin d in the morning. I came to this high quantity of vitamins by experimenting, when I go lower my hair falls out. But I also have an autoimmune disease so that makes a difference. And yes I do think derma rolling has helped. Good luck!!
As a person who is dealing with hair loss #1 finasteride (very very very few suffer from side effects). #2 minoxidil (you will need to use this with finasteride, they go hand in hand and minoxidil will not stop your hair loss by itself. Also awesome video 👌
These are exactly the two things that my dermatologist prescribed for me. I just started using them this week only.
@@lynntran1252 Did you see results?

My dad has tried applying castor oil with drops of rosemary essential oil, and we noticed new hair growth on his bald spot we jokingly call "tonsure" after 3 months of consistent use. Hope someone will explore this more in a controlled research.
Hi hope you are well Would you mind sharing more about this e.g how many rosemary essential oil drops How many times in a week does he use this Thankyouu

@@lancer717 hows it goin buddy?
I'm dealing with hair loss and plaque parapsoriasis at the same time which makes me depressed from time to time, but I recognise the fact that if I let it get to me, it might get worse so I try to stay positive majority of the time.
So detailed and thank you so much for putting headings along the time line. It really helps people like me who wants to go to a certain topic over again. Both of you are awesome!
Year on finasteride and 6 months on minoxidil and hairloss still worsening:') couldn't imagine how much worse it would be if i hadn't started. these treatments are sooo accessible with online providers, start!!
I'm afraid to get on any pills. I lost most of my hair over 2 months when I was 24. Luckily I haven't lost any more hair for the next 12 years. Not even a bit. But worried that if I start these meds, then stop there will be a rebound effect and it will get worse.
Nothing works they are just feeding us chocolate milk with their finger
Update on your hair?
same with me re: minoxidil
Realizing that their clinic is not too far from where I live 🙌🏽
I had terrible post-partum hair loss two years ago especially in the temple area, my scalp felt tender for a whole month from the hairloss, but luckily it grew back. I recently started to lose hair again, almost in the same pattern as before and would clog the shower drain after every shower. My ponytail has always been thick, but it has halved in size...again, I see a ton of baby hair growing back but the temple areas are still very thin. I hope it was just related to stress, post covid, and hope it does not lead to permanent hair loss 🤞🏽
Not dealing with this yet but definitely one of my biggest fears! Glad these guys know their stuff, now i’m prepared.
I'm a woman and I've been taking both Finasteride and Spironol for over 8 years now. No side effects, but the results are very slow. The balding is not progressing, but the regrowth is quite slow. I have also tried Minoxidil orally, but this one had pretty harsh side effects I didn't like.
But the "bolding non progressing" is already a success :-) Without your medication you would have most likely lost more hair.
@@vinvenus4581 absolutely

Dermarolling, minoxidil and meditation. That’s what helped me.
@@julianrivera1973 What kind of results did you get?
Thanks for this excellent, comprehensive video! I'm especially glad to hear you're planning on making this a series. When you do, would you talk specifically about women and hair loss? And also how hair loss (and hair loss treatment options) can differ for premenopausal women, perimenopausal women, and postmenopausal women?
notice how little research has been done on women. It's pathetic and infuriating. We deserve better
HOWD Y'ALL KNOW I NEEDED THIS ILY!!!
Me too man they are heaven sent! So much info for 🆓
I'm a retired hairstylist who is now a ionizing radiation exposure researcher.
I've had clients use ancient remedies along with medical advice. Using a soft brush stroking through the hair down to the scalp each morning and night really stimulates blood flow. Bringing needed nutrients to the follicles. Stress reduction. Argonne oil is a Middle Eastern remedy . Furthermore female Rogaine has caused some of my female clients to complain their hair became TOO THICK. I referred women to have their thyroid and Parathyroid checked as well as menopause for women. For my cancer clients I found a product called Nioxin started at the end of chemo and radiation almost always ( in my experience with 300 clients) the hair grew in smooth and not that chemo dry and fuzzy. Used for regular hair loss seems to strengthen and enhance the overall follicles. But at least try the 100 brushes a day 2x a day. ❤
Thank you for this information. I tried nioxin a couple years ago, the one for color treated hair and it stripped my color. Any other suggestions?
So I've been using 5% minoxidil topical solution for about 2.5 months now. And while I've started to grow hair at my hairline, less so on my crown where I've also been applying religiously, I've also started growing some facial hair. This is definitely a side effect women would want to know and this is why i'm writing this here.
It's not excessive and I'm very careful with the amount I use. I apply just about 5 sprays even though 6-7 is recommended. But there are research saying that this is one of the observed side effects in women (and men sometimes do not grow facial hair despite using minoxidil in an attempt to grow facial hair =_=)
I'm still looking into how I can reverse the facial hair growth whilst continuing usage of minoxidil. It might be that a further reduce of dosage might work or even using a lower percentage minoxidil might be best for women.
I know this comment is old but I read in one of the reviews for Minoxidil that the facial growth was from when you're sleeping at night and it smears on your pillow and gets to your face. It was advised to apply Minoxidil no less than 4 hours before bedtime so it'll have time to be absorbed fully, which makes it tricky to use twice a day. Have you found a remedy to yours?
Another thought you could have your facial hair follicles lasered. Same therapy when you get your bikini line and armpits lasered to get rid of hair they can do it for your face. It generally works better if you have dark hair follicles not as well for blonde hair etc
I take spironolactone. It completely cured my hormonal acne. It also helps with my body hair; however, I am so confused on how it reduces body hair but aids in head hair loss.

I’m losing so much hair from COVID - please make more videos like these!
The bestest video ever on hairloss prevention and treatment.
I feel like more younger people (20's) are experiencing hair loss today compared to when I was in my 20's. I always wondered if the different types of birth control pills played a role like maybe if it throws hormones out of wack. Would be nice if there was more research or stats done on the diff types and its possible effects on our hair.
It's stress. Life nowadays is very stressful. I had major hair fall issues without even touching the birth control pills.
I have a experience hairloss since I started to take a birth control pills. and even though my hormones are normal fine. When I stop taking pills my hair grows back little bit. And I'm just 33 years old. I started to loss my hair at 23 when I had my first child.
Maybe it the food/nutrition ?
Men are also having way more hairless and younger than women. People always say it's stress but I call it bullshit. People in the past had a lot of stress too and they started losing hair way later. There's definitely something going on. I don't know if it's good, lack of vitamin D or something. It's not just hormonal from birth control because men are losing more hair younger too. For example my father and my grandfather's where bald but they lost their hair when they where 40. My older brother started losing is hair when he was 27 and I started when I was 18. Younger people are losing hair faster and the medicine doesn't care to research on a cure or what's causing it because it makes a lot of money to companies to seel products that you have to take forever and that have mild results instead or solving the problem. Even transplants most of the times have to be done multiple times.
@@eeaotly More stressed than generations who went through World Wars? You barely find photos of them suffering from hair loss.
I gave birth to my first in the beginning of Covid in May 2020. Six weeks later my dad passed away in July 2020. Two months after that I was pregnant again in October 2020. You should have seen my hair in the front- it all fell out! I think my body was so stressed it rejected all hairs from growing. My hair was absolutely horrendous and STILL is recovering 2.5 years later.
Hi Dr. Maxfield and Dr. Shah Thank you for this video. I did sign up for a zoom consult with Bosley and hope to see some difference.
I have consulted with at least 3 dermatologists in the past but did not receive much help/insight/outcome for my hair loss.
I appreciate your videos on skincare. You two are amazing on screen! Cheers!!!
I
We look forward to speaking with you soon!
I have started losing my hair over the last five years, I am 65. I have a friend, who is a guy and he is 36. He was losing his hair very quickly and had lost a lot before he went to a DR. This Dr. specializes in hair loss and has 2 facilities in Austin, TX. The Dr. started him on a prescription of Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Biotin. He has been taking it about 11 months and has a head full of hair now. I noticed you said Finasteride was for men. I called this same Dr. and he put me on the same presciption. I have only been on it for 2 weeks, so not near enough time to see a difference. I am sure hoping that this helps me , even though its mostly for men:)
Can you give us an update on how you are doing? Would love to hear your experiences!
Tbh Derek aka More Plates More Dates is your best resource for hair loss prevention.
I shed a lot of hair after loosing weight (despite me following a very healthy diet) - thankfully it stopped just as quickly as it stared...but it's really scary when you wash your hair and it comes out in strands. I still shed hair sometimes during the year, but it never resulted in visible thinning or bald spots so I stopped stressing about it. BTW- a lot of men look good bald- some even better than with hair. ;)
Rlly appreciate this video, I can't lie it is a lot easier to listen knowing that you guys understand the same struggle/worry that we have. I find it very difficult to listen to those doctors with fantastic hair telling us that finasteride is harmless
My issue isn't so much that I'm losing hair, but it seems like my existing hair is thinner than it was when I was in my teens and 20's
Same issue here. I started to use biotin shampoo and conditioner and they helped me restore thick hair.
Dr. Dray has some information on this too. For women sometimes the way we treat our hair like harsh hairstyles, chemical treatments and the way we wash and dry or style hair can cause hair breakage. I’m glad they are covering the scientific ways to get help.
Sark, which brand of shampoo do you use? How much thinner in persentage approximately you hair thinned before you started on biotin shampoo?
Hair thins as we age. It is genetic. Try a shorter haircut.
Check your ferritin. Lots of videos on TH-cam about ferritin & hair loss. It’s crazy how overlooked/dismissed it is by doctors and yet causes so much hair loss
Thank you doctors for taking the time to do this video. You help alot of people. You both go above and beyond.
In the UK the Belgravia hair loss clinc is useful. Castor oil makes the hair look thicker, but it would be nice to have a study for 4C type hair. Thank you both for good content.
I'm 27 and I'm going through hair loss on my temples. My dad was bald so I already knew that I needed to focus on it. Right now I'm only using specific shampoos, conditioners and serums (such as loreal's botanicals line) and even though I feel like I'm not seeing any changes at least my hair is getting stronger. I don't wanna go through those medical procedures but I'd get any advice as much as I can about the "hair care" stuff.
WE NEED A HAIR CARE ROUTINE VIDEO!!
Thanks and love you!
There's this brand called alpecin I think it's called has coffee ingrediant In it, meant to improve hair loss etc. I might give it a go cause like you temples are starting to change
You're wasting your time and money on these bogus botanicals and natural treatments 😂😂😂
I appreciate your input. Make sure to apply the reactivatte hair growth serum from liitllextra each day for 3-4 months. Using it consistently helped me to achieve improvement in hair growth. I had applied 2 bottles already
Same here, I tried reactivate serum and it grew new hairs on my head where I had thinning hair.
Hair loss is so stressful! But you two make learning about it so fun 😅
Wow you guys have a new intro design and transitions! I love the “D” animation on the intro!
Thank you so much, very helpful information. My husband lost his hair at a very early age. When he was about 24 (genetic) and I'm worried about my three boys, this has surly put me on right track to be prepared as soon as I see the first signs of hair loss.
if my mom was focused on my hair loss at that age I would just feel worse about it
Awesome video, as always. I love how detailed, yet approachable you two are!
I do know that castor oil does grow hair you take castor oil and onion seed oil half of each and a few drops of Rosemary after using the 1 mm Derma roller (Gin Amber Beauty for roller). Keep oil on hair for 2 to 3 hours. Shampoo out the oil and style as usual. Do this at night. I have plain castor oil in a mascara tube and use on my eyelashes and that works to get them longer. I put same oil on my eyebrows too! 😀
Thank you guys. I’m a Cosmetologist so I’ll pass this on to others.
Doctors, What you are doing for us is just awesome.. I can't thank you enough for this.. love you both.. ❤️❤️
What a gift thank you! And for being so open and honest 💝
Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful! Next video can you please talk about scalp treatments, scalp massagers, silk pillowcases and microfiber hair towels?
My heart goes to you Dr Shah but you are managing it perfect just perfect
I have PCOS so I’ve been struggling with hair loss for some time. I used to apply Toppik hair fibers on the crown area of my head every morning after I washed my hair. It was a problem because couldn’t use it on wet hair and i needed to apply the fibers before going to work... and because my hair is curly, I have always let it my hair air dry since that’s what works for me. So I then started drying the roots of my hair with a dry washcloth and then with my fingers by massaging/rubbing my scalp for about 5 minutes. After about 6 months or so of consistently doing this, I noticed my hair didn’t look so thin anymore. I’m now at a point where I no longer use Toppik. I’ve continued massaging/rubbing my scalp after I shower for about 5 minutes and also throughout the day. My hair is still thin but I no longer feel bald or feel like crying if I don’t apply Toppik on my scalp. I’m hoping that by continuing to do this I will see an overall improvement on the top of my head.
What scalp massages 💆♂️? 💆♀️ does it actually work? 🤔
I got a hair transplant (2000 grafts FUE). Best decision I ever made.
What are your thoughts about these so called DIY for hair loss? How effective are they and how often would you need to do them to get results? You guys have a great set of hair by the way 😍
Nice you featured BOSLEY here. Yes!!
Hi, doc. Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been waiting for this topic. I want to ask you about a few things. Is biotin really would help me to fight my hair loss? In shampoo, in conditioner, or take it orally, which one is the best way to use biotin. Also, could you please tell us about Stemoxydine. Does it really able to fight hair loss? Thank you so much
Yes, I too have these exact same questions.
Microneedling upregulates SULT1A1 in the hair follicle, so stimulates the transition of Minoxidil to Minoxidil Sulphate; the active metabolite. So it will make more people respond to topical Minoxidil. Alkalizing the environment also shifts this chemical equilibrium to create more of the sulphate. Applying tretinoin after microneedling also stimulates SULT1A1, I use this mostly at the hairline. I have a series of videos on Minoxidil that dives into these areas.
Please do a video on how to combat skin dryness due to medications.
Dr dray talks alot about dry skin too
I have androgenetic alopecia and started noticing that I'm losing hair in my very early 20s (thanks to my dad's side of the family... Lol). Fortunately I've always been a very confident person and it has never really bothered me and I rock a bald head very well. I'm now in my early 30s and am really getting tired of the constant shaving and the side effects (shaving bumps) and have decided to try Minoxidil and micro needling. It's still very early to pronounce on any progress or lack thereof but I'm hoping for the best. 😊
so if you're experiencing hair loss, would it be too late to take biotin supplements?
I’m 22 years old. Has anybody heard of hair loss from overuse of dry shampoo? I noticed drastic hair loss recently, especially long, new strands that aren’t ready to come out. I did some research and I feel like a lot of women don’t know about this. I looked it up out of curiosity and everything I’m going through with my hair loss is exactly what I’m reading online. The timing, everything. The dry shampoo can clog hair follicles, causing them to be weakened, therefore making hair fall out. It also makes the follicles stick together which is why is takes the new strands out too. I have easily lost over 50% of my hair since October.
I’ve noticed a lot more people have been having hair loss
minoxidil and retinols are best friends i swear both of them make a good team like they make u panic by showing u how horrible could things start and the ending it casually with a mind blowing results 😂 like why all the drama lol i love them both the best traumatic bond ever 😂❤
I actually watched one of your videos a few months ago there was something about rosemary so I decided to give it ago. So I boiled it with water and then added more water to dilute it after and used it as a spray after shower for 4 months. I actually got more baby hairs in my temples and people said where I split my hair was also less visible. But I also kinda get a flaky and weird texture scalp from it.
Thankyou for your review! I am also doing the same for past one month. Excited to see the results in coming months.
Narciss, I add jojoba oil and mix it with the rosemary and then rub it into my scalp. Stops the flakes.
Also I feel bad for people in Canada suffering from hair loss because in Alberta are least, it takes a few months to get in with dermatologists…and some a year!
Hair loss is a tricky fix, but I think committing to minoxidil and some light microneedling combined with finestaride is best. Finestaride is often overdosed because of the long halflife. 1 mg every 3 day should be enough to block the DHT conversion and minimize the downsides. Guess I need to start this to stop the loss :S Also stress management and happiness in life should not be neglected. Stress is a hair killer to.
I have used olive oil for 4 years. My goal is just to nourish my hair. My hair is 3c. But in some months, my hair is stronger and becoming bigger. In particular, my new hair is growing faster and in more volume than I expected. I searched Google and know olive oil has a lot of protein, so it makes your hair become stronger and grow faster, and your hair is thicker than normal. So if you lose hair, please use olive oil before or after washing your hair.
Today is the first time I have discovered your videos. So glad I did. Thank you for all of the information you give on all concerns from hair, skin and nails. Wish I could find a dermatologist like both of you.
I started losing hair- crown area on both sides.
Did tons of research and did blood work and found out I was vit D deficient.
Hair is grown back!!!!!! Soo happyyyy!!
Just get blood work done, usually it’s low vit D or low iron. Orrr low testosterone.
Hai ☺️, can you suggest some tests for causing hair loss.
thank you for this video - since this will be a series i have 2 suggestions you could maybe talk about
1. does working out increases hairloss?
- on the internet i have found conflicting information about this one
- lifting weights => increases testosteron => increases DHT
- some articles i red say the duration of the increase in testosteron is too short which does not result in faster hairloss
2. Is there something like a topical Finasteride which could replace the minoxidil?
Thank you !
I started oral Minoxidil 7 months ago, and my hair is regrowing! 1/4 pill a day
I would love to hear your perspective on the DevaCurl scandal! Dr. Dray dismissed it for instance saying it is a problem on the consumer side.
All of your guys recent videos have been so needed and appreciated ! Thank you
I am so thankful for your videos and advice. I wouldn’t have seen such progress in my skin without your advice. Thank you 🙏
Years ago when in my 30’s, my beloved Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Around the same time, my beloved sister in law, died from an aggressive form of breast cancer at 36 yrs old. I developed alopecia areata in my scalp and my dermatologist prescribed Minoxidil. It did help the alopecia but I also grew thick black hair at the top of my very fair skinned nose!! 😂😂😂
That would be considered an adverse event! I love u guys! Keep the videos coming!
My younger brother was a great responder to finasteride and topical minoxidil, he even uses the worthless laser light device. I told him ditch the laser light and try dermarolling. But all in all his crown and temples have tightened up significantly.
How long did he use finasteride and minoxidil?
@@sarvajitgangaatharan7462 he’s been on it well over 9 months

Don’t call HR but Dr Maxfield and Dr Shah give what I need.
Doctor what do you think about hair serum? (The ordinary, inkey list) Does it help for hair shedding?
Had the same question! Many people review that Ordinary hair serum and Vegamour serum work for hair loss. I wonder if that’s scientifically true.
Dr Dray reviewed the inkey list hair products.
Thank you so much for this video Dr Shah and Dr Maxfield forever grateful!!!!!
So cool and interesting. Just like skincare, there should be more videos on scalp treatments and hair loss. How do y’all feel about hair growth products like Vegamour? Do they really work?
I agree that Strongjack Shampoo is the best hair growth shampoo by far
I respect and appreciate you both so much. You have been extremely helpful
Hi Doctorly! Thank you so much for all your great content! I would LOVE to see a video on how to take care of your scalp and skin on your head for people who are already bald (and who love it!). How do you prevent ingrown hairs when shaving, what's with all these bizarrely branded bald creams that seem too overpriced? Basically: how do you treat your head once it's bald and how to care for it so it looks good and healthy. Thanks!
Such an insightful and helpful video! Thank you for the great advice, as always! Looking forward to the series!
Thank you so much ! I personally use The Ordinary's Hair Serum and it works great !
I’ve been eyeing that product!
I didn't know they had hair products
@Julow Ooooo thanks for sharing 🥰
The Inkey List has hair products as well. Dr Dray did a video on them.
Castro oil works for me, but these days you don't find good Castro oil.
I have been using it for months now and I see some new hair growth.
Hi Drs! I'm experiencing a bit of hair thinning (nothing severe) and I want to promote hair growth. I'm using topical minoxidil around 3/4 times per week on average given that I styled my hair and don't wash it everyday. Is monixil still effective even if used a few times a week?
I think they talked about it. It won't work unless done daily. If you go their website they say, Yeah you can skip a night once a month but even once a week will reduce it's effectiveness
