I'd been losing hair daily. My barber asked me to use this reactivate hair growth serum by littlexetra and received it around 2 weeks ago and have been using it after getting it. I had doubt that whether it will work or not but it worked. It controlled my hair loss and I grew new tiny hairs from it. I am using it as per given description every day and I am sure within next month or two, I will see many more hairs.

Would love to see more hair care videos! Maybe deep dives into common ingredients in haircare to know what to look for in hair products

Politely generous of you! Congrats to your man for regaining his topical outline!!!

I've watched several podcasts on hair loss...this one is the BEST! Thanks!

What a great video! So informative and helpful and the fact that you showed your hair at the end was awesome, makes me feel better for sure. Hair loss is so upsetting and stressful.

First time viewer, you young lady are very eloquent and concise. Cherry on top very radiant .

A great review of a matter is when I have no questions to ask. Very well done our Universal Shereene

This is the best video I’ve seen on hair loss. I really really appreciate that you promote finding a root cause if possible. Thank you!

Omg just yesterday I was searching for your channel for hair Care videos and could only find one from 2 years ago 😭 thank you for posting!!

Great informative video. Appreciate the common sense down to earth approach. As a retired RN including working at NYU and Bellevue Derm in the past, I appreciate the work you all do.

Wow! Great timing- I have in the past experienced a number of types of hair loss from different causes, but it has always eventually grown back. I am now going through another phase, and it's so good to hear in a clear, informative fashion, what all the treatment options are. I'm already using some of them, but will continue to discuss further possibilities with my dermatologist. Thank you!

Thank you so much Dr Shereen , I'll be 22 in nov and I've had AGA since the age of 13 and it's been mentally challenging and extremely distressing but your video really helped me a lot

for those looking into Nutrafol, Codeage has a "Hair Vitamins" supplement that is very very similar, it includes essentially all of the "extras" that nutrafold includes. and, anecdotally, it worked the same for me! oh, and it's half the price (about 33-39, depending on where you buy it)

TBH, I'd rather have my chronic pain issues back (extensive ortho problems) than to be bald.

I was on monoxidil for 4 years. The max regrowth you get is up until 1 year and then it's maintenance. At 2.5 years my hair started falling out even worse than before I started. Used still constantly for about another 2 years and it did nothing but speed up the hairless process. I have stopped using it and my hair falls out at a slower pace than before I was on it. It's an absolute garbage product with extremely minimal results as far as growing your hair back. I would say it's not worth it and will never go back to monoxidil again. Diet change, natural oils and getting your vitamins tested to see where you may have deficiency is the best.

Amazing video. Thank you so much. My derm said all the same things as you so it feels good to be confident about my treatment options!

I’ve been using rosemary oil on my scalp for a little over 6 months. I only use it once or twice a week before I wash my hair (I let it sit on my scalp for at least 30 minutes prior to washing it off) I started noticing less fall out in the shower within the first month. Since I have been very consistent with it, the longer I’ve been using it (again I only use it once or twice a week) the less fall out I’ve been seeing. I could literally get clumps in the drain causing the water to not be able to drain, and would have to clean it out of the way at least 2-3 times whenever I washed my hair. Now I rarely have to clean hair out of the drain at all.

Thank you so much for this amazing teaching video!!!

Can you do a video on skincare products for bald scalps? e.g., can you still use retinoids and exfoliating acids on your scalp? Should we expect this area to be more irritating that other areas? Are there skin concerns that we talk about frequently for the face which are unlikely to be a significant concern for the scalp? Since shaving one's head causes mircocuts on a regular basis, should we be using skin protectants and does it matter which one?

Hi Dr Shireene, loved the video, i tried 2 % Minoxidil recently for fphl which really worked but it causes massive under eye bags and facial swelling for me so ive had to go off it, any tips on how to combat that?

My son suffered from dandruff pretty much from birth! I took him to several doctors including a dermatologist with no relief. I finally did some research on my own and found that some causes can be fungal in nature and bought the antifungal shampoo. His dandruff cleared up in about 3 weeks of use (using 3 days per week) and has not returned in over 6 months of use!!! I would recommend trying an antifungal shampoo to ANYONE struggling with dandruff or scalp issues!

Great video. I have two questions regarding hair loss treatment discussed in your video: 1) Does Monoxidil do anything to color-treat hair (fade/strip the color) or interact with hair dye? and 2) Can you use Monoxidil on eyebrows? A different dermatologist stated you can get a cotton pad and wipe Monoxidil over eyebrows, but was silent as risks due to proximity to eyes.

So grateful for this video Dr. Idriss. I have been losing my hair and now I understand what is causing it. I have a thyroid condition and going through menopause. As per my doctor, I was taking biotin and had to stop as it was interfering with my medication. Good luck to your hubby!

My endocrinologist said biotin doesn’t affect actual thyroid hormones or function, but may affect the test. So she has me stop biotin 1-2 weeks before getting TSH tested, then I just resume taking it. In other words, biotin doesn’t interfere with medicine, but may interfere with lab tests.

After delivery, I noticed my hairfall but I remained calm. I acted to to control it. I chose a health-centered approach. I prioritized my nutrition, having nutrient-rich foods, specially rich in Folic Acid and Protein. I exercised daily and engaged in meditation for stress control. I just stayed away from tight hairstyles and stopped using heated styling tools to prevent hair stress. I also started using LittleExttra's Coconion shampoo, hair oil combined with a neem wood comb. The outcome was hair fall control and the return of my hair.

Thank you for this super informative video!

Thanks for the useful info! I, too, has been suffered with hair loss all along as someone who has PCOS with female pattern hair loss running in my family. I was in the the beginning of Ludwig scale in stage 2 earlier this year and it hit me really hard. So I finally went to consult with dermatologist and she suggested PRP treatments and also prescribed oral and topical minoxidil and oral spironolactone. Also, I invested in iRestore LED cap thingy as well. So far, I’m about 5 months in the journey already and I see quite a dramatic result - my bald spot is barely there, the hair diameter is much thicker and the hair itself feels healthier than ever. So I do agree, you have to do everything in your power and I know it takes a LOT of effort and money but I swear it’s incomparable to the confidence I got back.

You're so right about the psychological side effects, especially when you don't want to even be in public anymore. I had breast cancer a few years ago and all my hair fell out from chemotherapy. It grew back in so slowly and thin that I almost prefer being bald again. I have to be on estrogen suppressants for the rest of my life basically, but my doctor shrugs off my hair loss issues since it's not a real oncology medical concern. Would any of these options work for me or do I need to just accept this hair loss forever?

They think it’s just hair. I understand that they have to tell patients that they are going to die every day, and compared to that, it is just hair. But to us, this isn’t a rational response, it’s the feelings around cancer tied up in hair loss that never go away and we are stuck seeing it every time we look in a mirror forever.

Have you ever try sublingual biotin tab? I had a different surgery to where I cut my hair above my neck because I needed more than a year to recover and during those times, I had to be on iron supplement. After the course of the supplement, there were other issues, such as graying of the hair, and my scalp would have bumps in it after trying to dye my hair. Most of the time the hair loss is caused by not brushing my hair before I take a shower I’m shampooing my hair. It would fall off in tangles after I shower and also after I dye my hair, but then again, eventually it will grow back slowly and gradually, but I have a receding fore head at a young age when I was a minor. I think that part is genetic. My dad also was bald when he got older. When I took Isleton, I notice is gradually working or maybe it was just working on its own, even without the biotin. Taking boot did not hurt it. I did not take it daily nor weekly. I just took it whenever I remember to take it and I do not take it on the daily. I try not to dye my hair as often but it’s tough. I’ve been but works to wear because my hair is going gray. The hardest part is this hair wigs sometimes they don’t even look real even though they are expensive.

You seem so sweet and empathetic, I wish you were my doctor! As someone who has been struggling just to find doctors for the past three years who listen and don't wave me off as fine because I'm young, I'm at my breaking point with health anxiety. Blood test came back normal last year though. I've noticed for the past 4-5 years the hair on the right side of my head (temples, down toward the ear and a little behind) has gradually gotten thinner. I have fine hair. No bald spots, but the thickness between the two sides of my head is very noticeable to me. Like, I feel the air more on that side lol. I always wear my hair down, I'm very gentle when I detangle, and I let my hair air dry. Some bad habits I have - I've been using a flat iron with no heat protectant on, I don't braid my long hair before I sleep so I wake up with lots of tangles, I do detangle damp hair... But you'd think I'd notice the thinning on both sides since I treat them equal. I've heard it's not really a cause, but does anyone know for sure if favoring one side when you sleep can cause a traction hair loss? Edit: I am on anti depressants and have been since I was at least 16, so a good 13 years almost. Also I am a woman. Forgot to mention that.
