I had a small patch in the back of my head when I went into menopause at 48 years old. I started taking biotin 20,000 mg everyday along with collagen powder. My hair came back thick. Yes all The stuff works great video!!!
I wish I could do that. Every time I start taking biotin it messes with my hormones and I start getting hot flashes etc. 😢 I do use collagen, eat super good foods for my hair and use rogaine but over time I’m getting thinner. I’m trying a wig out now.
Do you mind sharing which exact brand of Biotin you’re taking? I have some but it doesn’t agree with my Crohn’s. I’d like to take as few pills as possible, or do you get it in powdered form? I’m not well versed on Biotin, obviously. Thank you in advance!!! ☺️
I'm post-menopause (was forced into menopause after my breast cancer surgeries). Starting a couple of years ago, I started washing my hair twice/week instead of every other day. I grew my hair out and quit coloring altogether. My hair is more of a pepper with salt in color, thicker and healthier. I've been told that I look younger and can't tell you how many people compliment me on how pretty my hair is, including men, but especially hair dressers. I have also recently got a Keratin treatment, and it helped all those little whispies on top of my head to lay down.
I quit coloring my hair over two years ago. My hair is a neutral brown and it looks like I’ve put silver highlights in through it. It’s actually very pretty and I’m getting tons of compliments I don’t was everyday and I eat really well.
I’m back on TH-cam after a 5 year break (new husband, life, etc) and I’m SO glad you’re still here! Thank you for doing this video…I needed it BAD. I had 4 surgeries in 15 months after a bad car accident and also had COVID 4 times right after that, so my beautiful long hair fell out in clumps. 😢😢😢 I ended up having to get hair extensions. My hair looks amazing now but it is costing me an arm and a leg (wish we could post pics with comments). I want to eventually take them out and grow my own hair back, so I’ll start this routine NOW to get ahead of the game. You look AMAZING Melissa! I can’t wait to binge all the videos I’ve missed! 💕💕💕
I’ve been using the iRestore and it’s definitely made a difference. I’ve noticed far less hair fall in the shower. I have a hair catcher in my shower which I empty after every wash and there’s less than half the hair left behind that there used to be. I don’t heat style my hair, but I do blow it to about 80-90% dry on medium with my Shark blow dryer. I’ve also quit wearing it in a messy bun every day. Quit dry shampoo. Quit going to bed with wet hair (in a bun, no less!) I’m 55 this month and went through menopause at 40. Never had an issue with hair loss until 50. The iRestore is an investment, but it’s been working great so far.
*Sulfate free, Shower Filter, Rosemary, Leave In Conditioner, Supplements* . Turning 50 didn't bother me but when the hair fall out happened I got very depressed. Dietary changes and adding supplements came first. I had been using volumizing shampoo formulas for years under very hard water conditions. My hair was dry, dull and brittle. Getting a shower filter and switching to sulfate free products was helpful. I like to wear my hair wavy and silicone heavy products weighed my hair down. I switched to JVN with hemi-squalene, huge improvement for me. I just purchased the scalp tonic you recommended, I was using rosemary tea prior to that with good success until I fell off wagon. New year, new routine.
Totally agree. Balance those hormones with nutrition. Tons of great info out there. Functional medicine doctors are quite able to run your hormones levels and get you on the right foods/supplements/products.
Thank you for all the recommendations! I have had so much hair loss in the last few years because of menopause, surgeries and also covid . I use rosemary oil mixed with castor oil. I massage in a leave at least an hour or even overnight. I love your haircolor right now! It is very flattering on your skin. I also love the bangs! You look fabulous!❤
Hi Melissa ❤I also suffer from hair loss also gets extremely dry in the winter. Lately I tried using Castor Oil, I put it on my scalp leave on for a few hours covered. I then wash my hair 3 times use a conditioner and a leave in conditioner. I am amazed how my hair not only is not falling out like it was it feels so much thicker. You might want to check out the benefits also not a costly product . Should be organic. Tons of videos out there.
Your hair is beautiful. I had an appendectomy last yr & my hair started falling out but it was quickly being replaced because I've been using the ordinary's hair serum & black castor oil on the nights before I wash for a couple of yrs. Thank you so much for being here !
Your hair does look healthy, and I love the color. I have the same leave in conditioner but I haven't tried it yet. I think the next thing I'll be buying is the glaze. Thanks Melissa! 💖
I am 70 and I have had lightning brown with blond highlights. ‘This past fall I went back to a light brown and I love it. I have Been told it make# my complexion look so much better 😊 and I look younger❤😊
I ended up going to a dermatologist. I'm on Minoxidol 5% and Dutasteride. I believe it's helping. I feel like I waited too long to go to the Dr. The dermatologist said don't wait on hair loss. Best to treat it right away and not wait. Get blood work done, because there are a lot of reasons for hair loss. Thanks for the video!.
I have female pattern hair loss. I use minoxidil and other products. What made a big difference for me is Majestic Pure Avacodo Hair mask. It contains biotin. I have short curly-ish hair so I use it as a leave in each night. I put it in early in the evening so it has time to dry. I also love the Glaze color conditioner! It has helped me stretch my need to color my hair! Thank you!
I’ve been having hair issues. I’m 54. I also had multiple back surgeries a couple years ago after suffering from severe back pain. And I’ve lost A LOT of weight. All those things combined with menopause made my normally thick hair suffer. I chopped mine as well and feel like that helped. It’s so fun getting old. 😅
Mrs Melisaaaa❤❤❤❤❤ I just got my long hair growing strong after the death of my beautiful son my hair was consistently falling. I do mega dose Cod fish oil, Bamboo Silica, Grass feed Liver pills, Melatonin with Ashwagandha....Three times a week I use pumpkin seed oil, Rosemary Castor oil, almond oils. Lots of self care and massages too among other supplements. Did DHT for 2 months. Thank you for sharing 🙏😊❤
Thank you so so much for this content. I have been desperate for a good hair regimen for my thinning hair. All of these products are reasonable price. Which is another thing that I love you. Your hair looks amazing. ❤❤
Thank you! I noticed a ton of hair loss when I had a major weight loss. It was so discouraging because I was finally feeling confident about my body then I started losing hair. I am doing what I have been told but you have given me a couple great suggestions! Thank you. Glad I found you which is just recent!
Best video ever! I am going to try your recommendations! Fighting thinning hair since Hashimoto’s diagnosis and menopause. Keep fighting the battle Melissa, you have really been under attack. Praying your health issues and pain will resolve this year.
My girlfriend is recovering from 2 back to back emergency stays in the hospital. She is slowly regaining her physical strength, but it took it's toll on her hair. She is very down about it. The "L'Oreal" product looks great for her, and I can't thank you enough for your suggestions, Marvelous Melissa 🌺🥰💞 For what it's worth, you look beautiful!! Better yet, you "sound" good, girl!! 🙏🏻🙋 Thanks again 😚
Mrs M You are looking Fabulous!! I have mentioned before this video that your hair colour makes you look so young…But your skin & makeup looks Beautiful…yes a softer look on your eyes… Hope you are well!!! Make sure to keep looking after Yourself!! Blessings Marc from Australia 😘🐶🇦🇺🙏🙏
I went into menopause when I was 40 ! But fortunately I have had just real dry hair ! but it has been havoc on my skin ! But in 2022 I had a 6 hr back surgery an after that my hair was falling out for awhile ! I use it’s a 10 ! Good luck with your hair ! You still have beautiful skin I guess we have a trade off when it comes to menopause ! I’ll give you some of my hair for some of your beautiful skin ! Have a blessed day !
Thank you so much for making this post…oh my gosh! I learned all about why my hair looks so awful-basically it gets no attention like my face does which NEVER occurred to me before…so silly. TY, Melissa♥️And you are just so pretty!
Hi Melissa, you look great today and I hope you feel just as well as you look. Thank you for so many tips and products to help me with my hair. I can not take anything with biotin because it counteracts the thyroid medication I have to take. I don't have one because of thyroid cancer but looking very closely I didn't see biotin in the products you showed. Of course I can still check it out on Amazon. Your hair looks so beautiful and long. I just love the color. Thank you for a wonderful video and take care and be well. We love you too Melissa.🥰❤💜💜💜❣🌹💐
Been enjoying this last 6 months or so with your hair journey. I love the darker color on you & it’s sooo shiny & healthy looking~ Much ❤ from SE Missouri 😚💋💄👏🏻 PS I started MEAN-O-pause 😅🙄 at 49 I’m 52 now. About a year ago I went back to my dark brown, soooo much cheaper b/c I can do my own all over color. But for the 6 yrs prior to that I wasn’t completely blonde as u were, but I had heavy highlights in it. Sometimes I miss it, it was easier to disguise the silver/grays, but it 💯 messes with the hair shaft/cuticle over time and then products and heat styling on top of that-is a recipe for disaster. I’m lucky tho I’ve lost a lot of volume over the years, but I babied my hair for a solid year and a half, between early summer of ‘21, until late Dec of ‘22. Now I’m proud to say it’s just about at it’s best rn, plus I’m saving my coin. And in this economy that’s important for a lot of us. Thx for the video Melissa! 👏🏻💄💋❤️
Hi Melissa! Wow I’ve been away for a bit and have transformed! You have always been so beautiful to me and now you’re a sleek brunette bombshell!! Thank you for all this information! I have so many things to try but first. The SHARK. Do you use that every time you wash and dry your hair? Is that now the way you dry your hair! I’d love to see a GRWM and my SHARK !!! Love you!!! Happy health girl ❤❤❤
Periods stopped sge 53 Never had menopause My hair is so thick that i have a brazillian every year to make it look thinner. Gets thicker the older i get. Just turned 70 Guess i am blessed. No hysterectomy either.🙏🙏
Melissa, are you still using the Purador Shampoo & Conditioner? I’m using it right now but the conditioner doesn’t detangle my baby fine hair. Also, have you tried any red light therapy? Your hair looks great. ❤
Hi Robin. I do still use Purador & love that its aloe vera based. I also use a bit stronger conditioner. And I do use red light therapy. Love it! Thanks so much.
I had a brain bleed almost two years ago. Drs. were afraid to run CTs with Contrast due to a suspected allergy. Didn't find out til the 2nd day of excruciatingly painful, sudden "thunderclap" headaches that I could have been pre-treated with Benadryl, Prednisone and Atarax to get through the Contrast exposure. So, went through THREE head CTs - the strongest doses of non-treatment radiation - at 2 different hospitals - AND a full panoramic x-ray series of my jaw, sinuses and teeth - all of this within a 48-hour period. Menopause had already taken a toll on my babyfine, thin hair. Radiation is a b***h. I wear hats now. Docs say no new supplements or dietary changes until they figure out what's going on with my gut health (or lack thereof). Was scheduled for colonoscopy and upper GI studies for the week after the brain bleed; of course, all that got pushed off. I'm now rescheduled for these procedures in a month; more unavoidable stress to my system. Melissa, you are so brave doing these videos. I hide from meeting new people, and old (former) friends don't understand why I avoid being seen. Hats. And careful makeup - largely due to your influence. Thank you most sincerely for everything you do. You dont know how many of your videos I've saved and rewatched.
Oh sweetie, my heart just aches for you. I'm so very sorry for all you're going through. I can't begin to imagine how much pain that was. You'll be in my thoughts & prayers.
First you are getting younger and younger! You look great hoping it means you are feeling better🙏. I actually am using a few of these products you mentioned. Thanks for looking out for us. ❤
You looked so pretty inyour pink top and blush. Your hair is beautiful. I am thinking of buying the shark dryer. Do you dry your hair from dry with it? I have a Lange and I have to use a blow dryer then use the lange brush my hair is chin length and gets so frizzy.
It’s important to get to a dermatologist when you have hair loss. It could be frontal fibrosing alopecia, and needs to be treated right away. It is what is called scarring and will not grow back so must be stopped with treatment.
I love your curtain bangs, Melissa! Thanks for sharing your products. I see that one product states on the lable it contains wild fish.....I have a severe fish allergy, this is why I steer clear of hair vitamins and and topicals, they usually contain fish derivatives. You are correct, healthy hair starts as in inside job and our diets and nutrition is key. Avocados are great dietary DHT blockers and I include them often. With my seafood allergy & vegetarian diet (I have been vegetarian, NOT vegan, for 35 years) getting omega 3s has been difficult. I recently started drinking Good Karma Flax Milk + Protein which is rich in omega 3s from flax seed. Also heart healthy. I am sharing this for others who may have seafood allergy or be vegetarian 🙂
Hi Melissa, l love this video you are doing, l bought a new hair dryer about 6 months ago, it's 1 of the new ones, mine is High Efficiency dryer, it's also Smart - X technology dries hair with more power and less heat, l love it but l got it as a birthday gift from family, but was really expensive that l didn't know about, l got it from dry bar, but l also use all of their products, my hair is alot softer, some products l don't use, because I don't need them, because I have thick hair to begin with, you have a great evening and weekend, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Going to try the saw palmetto ! Thanks for the link. It’s so cheap I was so excited lol 😂 I’m ordering tomorrow. Between Hashimoto’s and stress and menopause I feel like I’m going bald at this point😩 I am taking biotin, but I need to try this supplement because I trust your words. Thanks ! Hope ur feeling better.
My thyroid caused me to loose half my eyebrows and thinning in front crown. Thankful it stopped when meds kicked in but hair never came back. Menopause did a number on my already dry skin! It’s even dryer, thinning and a constant struggle to hydrate. My goal in 2024 is more water intake!!! I have to use heavy moisturizers like Eucerin on body. I use Loreal cream moisturizers and gentle cetaphil cleanser on face (able to coupon at CVS and get them at a better price.)
You look so beautiful, Melissa 💕 And love your hair!! Thanks for great vid! I too suffer from hair loss & thinning 😢 because of my health issues. Which of your faves were most important to save your beautiful hair? Sadly I can’t spend that much just to myself, so would love to know.
Hi Sweet Melissa, love all your videos. Ive tried the glaze & its great, my daughter uses it also. I would love your actual routine on when & how often you use all these hair products, I have to be careful with supplements because I have ckd, but I also share all your products with my daughter. TFS your look fabulous today, pink wakens up the complexion & it compliments your brown hair color. Hugs & kisses to your beautiful fur babies. 🐾🐾🐾🥰🥰🥰🎉2024 will be a year of health healing both physically & mentally in my home this year. My daughter will be facing back surgery.. Be ❤️🩹
I've been reading and watching many videos about castor oil being a miracle health and beauty product. Have you ever dabbled with castor oil for your face/hair or health?
I tried castor oil for my hair. Besides bring really sticky & hard to get onto the scalp, it didn't do much for growth. As far as skin, I think it's great
I like your color now think the other was alittle tooo dark for you= that kendra you showed is that a mousse too???need volume as dont think you mentioned any ?thank you
@@marlenekerrmarlene1259 I'm going to be testing a few mousse products out this month & I'll let you know. I don't like sprays because they weigh my hair down.
I had 2 back surgeries 1 day apart totaling 17 hours and usually after a surgery my hair comes out 3 months after but this time it literally came out in piles. I got to where I was afraid to brush my hair.
Love your videos! It really makes me feel like you really want to help each of us. However, when a product is listed through a howel website or link, it hasn't worked for at least a month or more. 😢
Does the dht shampoo fade your hair color? Is it effective if you only use it once a week? I am in my perimenopausal phase and my hair is definitely taking the hit. I already do some of the things you mentioned, but want to incorporate more.
Hi Carey, I haven't noticed it fading my color at all & as you know, I've gone darker with my hair. So no problems for me on that front. As far as only using it once a week, I'm sure you would see some benefits, but what I do is mix it with my regular volumizing shampoo. That way I still get the benefits of both. I hope that helps.
Hi Mary, I really like my Shark more. Just because it has such low heat settings & that Smoothing technology. Go onto the website & check it out. It's pretty awesome
I don't agree with the comment below that hair is hair. Absolutely not true. Not everyone can follow the same external processes. As for the products she recommends taking internally, that's different. The vitamins, collagen, silica are recommended across the board to work inside out. Best of luck!!
The basic makeup of hair is the same. The internal supplements work great for everyone. As for the topical hair growth, it's great for all hair types. The device/massager will work for everyone because it stimulates the follicles & and scalp.

Be careful when taking such a high dose of Biotin. It can affect your thyroid. This happened to me!
I wish I could do that. Every time I start taking biotin it messes with my hormones and I start getting hot flashes etc. 😢 I do use collagen, eat super good foods for my hair and use rogaine but over time I’m getting thinner. I’m trying a wig out now.

I would love a tutorial with blow dry brush. You are looking fantastic!
Melissa, I haven't seen you with you new hair color until now and oh my it's absolutely gorgeous on you!!!
Oh thank you Laura!
DHT is testosterone mostly. Saw Palmetto is mostly marketed to men BUT I have been using it and I noticed a huge difference.
Great info Lisa

Thank you for addressing the “Wash your hair every 7 days” fade! I have never understood why this is a good thing. Excellent information!
Glad it was helpful!
Girl! We’re the same! 51, three surgeries last year, menopause, Hashimoto’s diagnosis = major hair shedding! Going to try a few of these.
I hope they help Jennifer

Yes, it's my go to for drying & straightening almost everytime. When I want to curl I reach for my Dyson or a knock off of it that I have.
Would love to see a video on how you use your Dyson when curling your hair!
I've definitely noticed that my hair looks thinner now that I stopped coloring it. Great tips!
Glad you liked them.
Periods stopped sge 53
Never had menopause
My hair is so thick that i have a brazillian every year to make it look thinner. Gets thicker the older i get. Just turned 70
Guess i am blessed. No hysterectomy either.🙏🙏
Oh wow Helen! I'm so jealous!
You're very lucky
Fantastic advice on so many products. I will certainly check some of these out. I’m 59 and post menopause. Your hair looks in fabulous shape. 😘😘
I'm so glad you enjoyed it
Collagen works! I was told that by my friend who is a plastic surgeon in New York City!
Can I ask what kind do you use?.
I'm so glad you commented this Joanne!
Thanks for all of these helpful tips. I will try some..❤ your haircut
Very informative as usual❤
Love your content so much! Thanks for all of the good info, Melissa!!!
You are so welcome!
Melissa, are you still using the Purador Shampoo & Conditioner? I’m using it right now but the conditioner doesn’t detangle my baby fine hair. Also, have you tried any red light therapy? Your hair looks great. ❤
Hi Robin. I do still use Purador & love that its aloe vera based. I also use a bit stronger conditioner. And I do use red light therapy. Love it! Thanks so much.
Your hair looks great! Lots of helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
I had a brain bleed almost two years ago. Drs. were afraid to run CTs with Contrast due to a suspected allergy. Didn't find out til the 2nd day of excruciatingly painful, sudden "thunderclap" headaches that I could have been pre-treated with Benadryl, Prednisone and Atarax to get through the Contrast exposure. So, went through THREE head CTs - the strongest doses of non-treatment radiation - at 2 different hospitals - AND a full panoramic x-ray series of my jaw, sinuses and teeth - all of this within a 48-hour period. Menopause had already taken a toll on my babyfine, thin hair. Radiation is a b***h. I wear hats now. Docs say no new supplements or dietary changes until they figure out what's going on with my gut health (or lack thereof). Was scheduled for colonoscopy and upper GI studies for the week after the brain bleed; of course, all that got pushed off. I'm now rescheduled for these procedures in a month; more unavoidable stress to my system. Melissa, you are so brave doing these videos. I hide from meeting new people, and old (former) friends don't understand why I avoid being seen. Hats. And careful makeup - largely due to your influence. Thank you most sincerely for everything you do. You dont know how many of your videos I've saved and rewatched.
Oh sweetie, my heart just aches for you. I'm so very sorry for all you're going through. I can't begin to imagine how much pain that was. You'll be in my thoughts & prayers.
First you are getting younger and younger! You look great hoping it means you are feeling better🙏. I actually am using a few of these products you mentioned. Thanks for looking out for us. ❤
Yay! Glad you already love them!
Just stopping the bleach alone did wonders for my hair
Thanks Malissa very helpful ❤
You're so welcome!
Greetings Melissa! Thank you so much for this video! I am in need of something for my hair. Love and blessings ♥️🙏 Hope you are feeling better!
You are so welcome!
You look amazing; love the color / style!
Thank you so much!!
You look gorgeous. I hope you are feeling better.
Thank you!! One day at a time Bev.
Thank you have been doing some of this since my diabetes meds was changed and hair came out in hand fulls. Going to start collagen now.
It's so scary! I hope it helps Dawn.
Thank you!! So many great suggestions!! ❤️❤️
Glad you like them!
Thank you . Great advice. I do love your hair😊
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Melissa you’re so helpful❤
You are so welcome!
Wow I was 38 now 44, my body thinks it's 65. Thank you so much for this ,
I really need THIS ❤
You're so welcome!
Forgot to say- loving that shirt! Also most say biotin will help (I can’t take causes reflux to act up). Castor oil helps some peeps too.
Thanks for sharing!! The shirt is linked in the description box if you're interested my dear.
I use glaze love it
Yay! I'm so glad!
Thank you for all the information. You look beautiful!
You're so kind! Thank you 😊
You looked so pretty inyour pink top and blush. Your hair is beautiful. I am thinking of buying the shark dryer. Do you dry your hair from dry with it? I have a Lange and I have to use a blow dryer then use the lange brush my hair is chin length and gets so frizzy.
Glad your hair is improving!
My forehead is too big, six fingers!
Think the menopause moved it back, last thing I need.
Want a smaller forehead. :(
I hear that! I've thought that my whole life!
It’s important to get to a dermatologist when you have hair loss. It could be frontal fibrosing alopecia, and needs to be treated right away. It is what is called scarring and will not grow back so must be stopped with treatment.
You look so stunning!!
Thank you so much Sarah! 💓
I love your hair color
Thanks so much
I love your curtain bangs, Melissa! Thanks for sharing your products. I see that one product states on the lable it contains wild fish.....I have a severe fish allergy, this is why I steer clear of hair vitamins and and topicals, they usually contain fish derivatives. You are correct, healthy hair starts as in inside job and our diets and nutrition is key. Avocados are great dietary DHT blockers and I include them often. With my seafood allergy & vegetarian diet (I have been vegetarian, NOT vegan, for 35 years) getting omega 3s has been difficult. I recently started drinking Good Karma Flax Milk + Protein which is rich in omega 3s from flax seed. Also heart healthy. I am sharing this for others who may have seafood allergy or be vegetarian 🙂
Wonderful info Trish! Thank you so much for sharing your experience 😊
Your hair looks fantastic
Thank you Trisha
Thanks for this video Melissa! Question: does the L’Oreal hair dye actually dye your gray hairs too?
Love your pink blouse😊
Thank you! 😊
Hi Melissa, l love this video you are doing, l bought a new hair dryer about 6 months ago, it's 1 of the new ones, mine is High Efficiency dryer, it's also Smart - X technology dries hair with more power and less heat, l love it but l got it as a birthday gift from family, but was really expensive that l didn't know about, l got it from dry bar, but l also use all of their products, my hair is alot softer, some products l don't use, because I don't need them, because I have thick hair to begin with, you have a great evening and weekend, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Going to try the saw palmetto ! Thanks for the link. It’s so cheap I was so excited lol 😂 I’m ordering tomorrow. Between Hashimoto’s and stress and menopause I feel like I’m going bald at this point😩 I am taking biotin, but I need to try this supplement because I trust your words. Thanks ! Hope ur feeling better.
Fingers crossed it helps. Definitely look into Scalp massager as well Mishy. It's done wonders for me!
My thyroid caused me to loose half my eyebrows and thinning in front crown. Thankful it stopped when meds kicked in but hair never came back. Menopause did a number on my already dry skin! It’s even dryer, thinning and a constant struggle to hydrate. My goal in 2024 is more water intake!!! I have to use heavy moisturizers like Eucerin on body. I use Loreal cream moisturizers and gentle cetaphil cleanser on face (able to coupon at CVS and get them at a better price.)
Oh my goodness! That must be so hard to deal with. I can't imagine
You look so beautiful, Melissa 💕 And love your hair!!
Thanks for great vid!
I too suffer from hair loss & thinning 😢 because of my health issues.
Which of your faves were most important to save your beautiful hair?
Sadly I can’t spend that much just to myself, so would love to know.
Probably the massager & the collagen is where I'd start
Great information here. As far as the Glaze product goes, it probably wouldn't work so well on blonde high lightened hair, right?
Hi Sweet Melissa, love all your videos. Ive tried the glaze & its great, my daughter uses it also. I would love your actual routine on when & how often you use all these hair products, I have to be careful with supplements because I have ckd, but I also share all your products with my daughter. TFS your look fabulous today, pink wakens up the complexion & it compliments your brown hair color. Hugs & kisses to your beautiful fur babies. 🐾🐾🐾🥰🥰🥰🎉2024 will be a year of health healing both physically & mentally in my home this year. My daughter will be facing back surgery.. Be ❤️🩹
I ordered Saw Palmetto
I hope you love it as much as I do
Watching this video with my LED face mask on top of my head 😂😂😂
I've been reading and watching many videos about castor oil being a miracle health and beauty product. Have you ever dabbled with castor oil for your face/hair or health?
I tried castor oil for my hair. Besides bring really sticky & hard to get onto the scalp, it didn't do much for growth. As far as skin, I think it's great
Biotin 100% saved my hair that’s it
Nice! Thank you!
Hi Mrs. Melissa 👋😊
What vitamin D + K2 would you recommend?
Here's the one I've used for years
amzn.to/48OsMdO
Melissa do you still recommend the Pura D’Or shampoo and conditioner,
I sure do. I use it in my hand along with the DHT blocker, I love that it's aloe Vera based! Just so dang good!
I like your color now think the other was alittle tooo dark for you= that kendra you showed is that a mousse too???need volume as dont think you mentioned any ?thank you
It's not a mousse. It's a spray on. It's more a thermal protectant than a Volumizer
thank you but you dont use anything for volume ???????????? thats what I really want ,any good suggestions@@MrsMelissaM
@@marlenekerrmarlene1259 I'm going to be testing a few mousse products out this month & I'll let you know. I don't like sprays because they weigh my hair down.
thanks so much =tried the WOW just okay = used to use tresseme 4by 4 glaze but they discontinued it = will see what you think@@MrsMelissaM
I never knew shark made a dryer. I didn’t see it in your products. Where did you get it??
I had 2 back surgeries 1 day apart totaling 17 hours and usually after a surgery my hair comes out 3 months after but this time it literally came out in piles. I got to where I was afraid to brush my hair.
Oh I understand totally Robyn. It's so scary!
Love your videos! It really makes me feel like you really want to help each of us. However, when a product is listed through a howel website or link, it hasn't worked for at least a month or more. 😢
Sorry spelled howl wrong
That's so weird because I just checked about 12 of them & they were working ok. I haven't had anyone say anything.
I've tried my smartphone and my tablet, and they don't go through. I wonder what is causing it?
Does the dht shampoo fade your hair color? Is it effective if you only use it once a week? I am in my perimenopausal phase and my hair is definitely taking the hit. I already do some of the things you mentioned, but want to incorporate more.
Hi Carey, I haven't noticed it fading my color at all & as you know, I've gone darker with my hair. So no problems for me on that front. As far as only using it once a week, I'm sure you would see some benefits, but what I do is mix it with my regular volumizing shampoo. That way I still get the benefits of both. I hope that helps.
@@MrsMelissaM Very helpful. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Whenever I get really stressed my hair loss is bad. I’m losing it now because of stress in relation to my pain levels. It sucks.
Oh I'm so sorry Deb. Praying your pain calms soon.
Menopause made my curly hair go straight.
Where do they get the human stem cells from
It's from adipose tissue, which is fat cells
@@MrsMelissaM yes! From where? Do you know the source? Thanks❤️
@@shar7508 not precisely. They didn't state that.
@@MrsMelissaMthanks😊
Hello beautiful Melissa 😍
Hello 😊
I think your hair suits you way better now it's darker.
Thank you doll!
Who has time to massage their scalp all the time?
Do you still like your con air? Is the shark that much better?
Hi Mary, I really like my Shark more. Just because it has such low heat settings & that Smoothing technology. Go onto the website & check it out. It's pretty awesome
Thank you. Have the con air based on your recommendation and like it. I will go check the shark website. Love your videos. You are an inspiration🙂
You need to add lots of protein, red meat.
Protein is a must!
I have not had my period for 3 or 4 months and my hair is falling out so much!!!
It's so hard. I went to my doctor when my periods stopped for 6 months!
I'm African American are your tips helpful to all nationalities?
I do hair… curly or straight… hair is hair… yes.
I don't agree with the comment below that hair is hair. Absolutely not true. Not everyone can follow the same external processes. As for the products she recommends taking internally, that's different. The vitamins, collagen, silica are recommended across the board to work inside out. Best of luck!!
The basic makeup of hair is the same. The internal supplements work great for everyone. As for the topical hair growth, it's great for all hair types. The device/massager will work for everyone because it stimulates the follicles & and scalp.
@@MrsMelissaM thank you I love your channel
I do believe that African American hair is very different, but I do love your channel.
