    Hey guys! A lot of you have been asking over the past several months what steps I have taken to get my hair looking fuller and healthier. I also received a lot of comments after my last video asking about all the treatments I had done for my hair. The reason I haven’t told you guys about it until now is its honestly a really intensive process that I have been going through to het back and keep the hair I have been able to and I hated recommending things that were expensive, time consuming, and painful. But I want to show you guys what I have done to help get my hair back a little so that maybe it can help someone else out there going through the same thing! Let me know if you have tried any of these things and how they worked for you! Love ya💖

    Although I don't suffer from Alopecia I do have fine hair, I use conditioner every other day. I do it for the same reason to keep from weighing my hair down. I only use one styling product (It's a 10) unless I need to use heat then of course I use a heat protectant. Other than my daughter I have never been able to convince a stylist not to put all those different products in my hair because it's glued to my head before I even get home!😂 I have to say once again I admire your courage for discussing this medical problem that so many suffer from, also once again you are stunning! 💕💕 What a wonderful informative video!

    I’m wondering why have you decided to leave minoxidil and other hair medication as the last resort? I know nothing about these drugs and I also went the natural route first, but my hair loss was due to severe malnutrition because of a tumor in my small intestine. Even though it was a “temporary” issue, it affected me a lot, too, so I completely understand your commitment. I now try to have a well balanced and nutritious diet, take my vitamins and use aloe vera and castor oil combined with coconut oil and sapuyul oil, too.

I’ve been doing this for 22 years now, and it was bad when I started, but it has gotten SO much worse. They’re getting very creative these days with coming up with reasons to deny claims. Either that or they can’t find a good reason and just take forever to pay. And that’s HOSPITALIZATION claims. When you consider other things that most insurance either won’t cover or cover only very small portions of (hair loss, infertility, dental implant surgery), it’s really infuriating.

    Insurance wasn’t designed to help you, but to exploit you. Everyone has to start somewhere. The ‘healthcare industry’ is a pharma Nazi industrial complex. It took me years of research and dealing with the sick care minions (mostly good but mislead people) … and btw the entire pharma driven allopathic form of healing was based on a combo of a literal snake oil salesman known as ‘Rockefeller’ and expanded by literal Nazis who spread throughout the Americas after ww2, most of whom received no consequences or hand slaps for their criminal use of ‘science’. The pharmas today, literally do not care how many lives they destroy or end. And it has a LOT to do with the nefarious people responsible for establishing it. I was told 20 years ago by a former allopathic md who switched to naturopathy, that the ins companies are ‘in bed’ with the practice of what most of humanity thinks is the ‘authority’ or God like truth of how to best help people with health problems. It’s actually a good thing that there are important ant areas for which the insurance doesn’t cover, because it leads people away from them. However, you gotta watch out for the allopathic minions who will deny common easy cures, gaslight you and such… they are on KZread making videos but most of them will be that nice doctor you go to. Many are knowingly lying, many just repeat the lies they were taught. It is frustrating because they do have some good options. You gotta learn as much as you can to navigate the system. Hopefully you won’t have to make too many mistakes in taking their snake oils… to learn. One tip… avoid any antibiotic that ends in ‘floxin’, you might be ok if you take them, but if you do and six month later you snap your Achilles tendon or something like that, or other serious, difficult to cure injury, it’s due to this antibiotic … your allopathic doc is likely to deny it, because that’s what they are trained to do. Look up ‘floxies’ or ‘floxxed’… there are a lot of people who have to go to real doctors to get help and pay out of pocket… thousands to tens of thousands of dollars … ypur insurance and your doctor will destroy your health and are powerless to help you… but once you are on hospice, you can have all the morphine you want. I’m 53 and I’ve dealt with many doctors for myself, my children and my parents and I used to write articles and interview people… the allopathic doctors and their pharma products are dangerous. I no longer carry health insurance… just accident insurance.

    I spoke with my doctor and basically got a shrug and “it can happen”. He never looked at my scalp or ran any tests. Unfortunately, I have seen other non-caring docs and didn’t go to someone else, as I should have. You have motivated me. I at least need to be checked for underlying conditions as I start this journey. I think I’ll look for a female doctor, who might understand. I’ll talk to a nutritionist instead of my doc about nutrition. Most docs don’t know a whole lot about nutrition.

    You should look for an endocrinologist female dr. The endocrine diseases are going rampant 🥲🥲🥲 You should test your iron level too and have a complete hemogram because anemia indeed can cause hairloss too 🥲 as can severe nutritional deficiencies. Edit : i would also test for lupus and autoimmune disease in which case you would need to see someone with competence in immunology. In my country all the analysis i need for my pcos cost me almost 600 ron which is like 135 bucks. I actually need to test my thyroid because owo nuclear threat from Russia and to see if i am eligible to take the KI pills in case of nuclear accident. I am not yet 40 yo but i have endocrine disease and now occasionally high blood pressure high pulse ive been given plant meds and metoprolol but i guess thyroid checking is a must either way.

    If any of you are post-menopause, please don't accept this as a default diagnosis for why you are losing your hair. My primary and my dermatologist would not help me look for reasons why I was losing my hair. The recommended treatment, minoxidil, gave me a headache. I went out on my own to research my hair issues. Rosemary essential oil, the Ordinary hair serum, castor oil hair masking and changing my eating habits has helped. My hair is not what it was, but I'm no longer losing chunks of hair and have had a significant amount of regrowth over the past 2 years.

    This sounds like me. While I haven’t asked my doctor about it I’ve taken it into my own hands too. I felt like I had bigger medical (hormonal) issues to discuss and wanted to be taken seriously. I may still bring it up in the future. While all of us in this thread realize the impact of hair loss, not all do. The amount of information I’ve read is vast. I have wondered about spironolactone but I’m not sure how that plays into a menopausal person. It’s different when your body is producing enough hormones that to block some would help, but things are different now. I’ve gone the holistic route also. I spray my hair daily with rosemary water and oil it twice a week (prior to shampooing). I take vitamins and am strict with my diet. Sleep is a priority now too. I was severely affected by poor sleep over the last decade and I think that took a toll. Menopause affects everyone differently but I was definitely affected by it so it think my hair loss is attributed to it. The timing is obvious too. Now, how much is normal aging vs hormones, I don’t know. I’m putting up a fight with my hair. I’ve read studies on the impact of menopause on people and I’m a very positive, encouraging person and I would like to stay that way. Hair loss can affect ones self esteem and I don’t want to go down that rabbit hole any further. I’m happy you have found a way through this, sounds like ours are very similar 💗😊🌸

    FYI for everyone taking Biotin. A lot of doctors don't know this, but Biotin can give false readings on blood tests. To have an accurate blood test, you should stop taking all Biotin at least a week before any blood tests. I had been taking Biotin for years and none of my doctors informed me about this. I was referred to an Endocrinologist a couple years ago and he told me that they are learning that Biting can not only affect the blood test results of your thyroid, but also heart tests and other tests as well. He said they are learning more all the time how it is affecting bloodwork for various blood tests. He said just to be safe, he would recommend to stop taking it at least a week for any bloodwork being done. He is a great Endocrinologist. He was the only doctor that was able to diagnose me with a serious life threatening problem I had for years, but no one was able to figure out what it was. I went to at least 13 different specialists, of all kinds. Also, if you have fast dramatic weight loss, it can also cause hair loss. That usually is only temporary and will eventually grow back. Just make sure you are eating healthy, getting enough protein and taking good vitamins. Spironolactone is also helpful. My doctor put me on a low dosage for hair loss. Make sure your shampoo and conditioner does not contain sulfate, paraben, they are really bad for your hair. Also Thyroid imbalance and low iron can also cause hair loss. This is why you really need to see a doctor and get tests done. Make an appointment with a good endocrinologist. Checkout their reviews. I saw 4 different ones before I saw this one. He had just moved to my area and his office had only been open for 2 weeks. So I was able to get in to see him right away. Most can take months to get an appointment. Good luck everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

    The time I faced hair fall, I followed all these to effectively control it: Include massage for your scalp into your routine. Avoid hot water when washing your hair. Protect your hair from excessive sweat. Use a wide tooth neem comb to brush out wet hair. Reduce your sugar and junk food intake. Use gentle hairfall control shampoo and oil like littleeextra coccconion. Nurture a positive mindset for general well being.

    After pregnancy, I observed my hair fall but I remained calm. I took action to remedy it. I chose a health-centered approach. I took care of my nutrition, eating nutrient-rich foods, specially those high in Folic Acid and Protein. I exercised daily and practiced yoga for stress management. I just stayed away from styles that pull on my hair and quit using heated styling tools to minimise hair damage. I also started using LittleExtrra Coconion hair oil and shampoo combined with a wooden neem comb. The result was hair fall control and the recovery of my confidence.

    Hair loss after pregnancy is caused by telogen effluvium, which is quite different from androgenetic alopecia. Not to suggest it's any less disturbing, but TE usually is a stress response after one's hair increases in thickness in the androgen phase. It's usually temporary versus progressive.

    Thank you for sharing this. I know how devastating hair loss is, especially for women. I sadly also have androgenic alopecia. I noticed a very thin area in the front of my hair almost 2 years ago and my overall hair was A LOT thinner. I went to a dermatologist and am still being treated but things aren’t getting better. I wanna cry whenever I see my reflection. So many people dismissed my feelings in the beginning saying things like “O you can’t even notice it” which you definitely can or “it’s just hair” and basically making me feel vain for being upset about it. I totally understand the throw everything and the kitchen sink at it approach and being willing to pay any amount to try to stop the hair loss. I asked my dermatologist about PRP injections but she said she didn’t think it would help with my hair loss which after the prices you quoted I’m kinda glad cause I would have paid them and just never ate or something to pay for them. I have several mental and physical health issues besides the hair loss but the hair loss has been the total gut punch. I’ve always had very long, beautiful hair, I was always complimented on it, it was what I was known for and literally the only thing I liked about myself. There’s so much stigma around women’s hair loss so again thank you for sharing your story.

    This is me as well. Androgenic alopecia and on top of that I had a bad iron deficiency that I wasnt aware of for likely years and I'm post menopausal from having to have a hysterectomy at the age of 30. Literally everything that can contribute to worsening hair loss has been my issue. I also tried both topical and oral minoxidil as well as a custom compounded topical version from my dermatologist. I'm also on Dutasteride and Spironolactone. My hair loss has slowed but not really improved. Many dermatologist said at this point the goal is to try and prevent additional loss, not expect more hair growth. And that has come from 2 dermatologists I've seen. My hair loss is mostly on the top of my head so theres really no concealing it. I have done root sprays and fiber powder over the years but for me at this point I have resorted to wearing wigs. I may try more scalp stimulation just in desperation to hold onto what little hair I have left. It has greatly impacted my self esteem and confidence too. Know you're not alone. ❤

Knowing that she wouldn’t talk to other friends and family about it made it really hard not to dread getting it myself. Seeing other women openly discussing their genetic hair loss is really empowering. It’s not just hair when no one else seems to be going through what you are going through. In this video you discussed some things my mom has tried, but you have also brought up some new things that I have never seen before! Thanks again, it really means a lot!

    i have really fine, thin hair and my husband is starting to lose his hair and we both use the ordinary's multi-peptide serum for hair density and boy oh boy does that make a difference. the last time i cut his hair he had a TON of little hairs sticking up everywhere, and i have a brand-new patch that came out of nowhere in the front of my head, too. it makes a HUGE difference. i'm pretty amazed. no idea if you'll see this since this is months after you made the video, but i thought i'd share my experience. good for you for being so open and honest about this. it's not just hair! it's a big deal!

Though our hair journeys are different, I feel the pain of hair troubles. My hair is super fine, but stick straight. Styling my hair is my biggest conundrum. It wont hold a curl for anything.

When my mother passed away recently, I asked the funeral home for a lock of her hair. When he game it to me he told me he couldn't get much because my mother's hair was so thin. I've been so worried that there is something genetic, like genetic Alopecia or a thyroid issue (those also run in the family. Hurrah for my genetics. Sarcasm) anyway, you've encouraged me to open up and see my doctor as well. Thank you so very much and I will say, your hair looks amazing. You're doing what's best for you and don't feel bad or apologize for anything you're choosing to do. Thank you so much for opening up about this. That alone is huge and helpful to SO many people.

    My hair loss is hormonal after having a hysterectomy. I found that increasing my vitamin D really helped my body to absorb the other vitamins I take. Also, try adding a teaspoon of salt to your pre-shower oiling. The salt gives the oil an extra bit of grit to massage your scalp bringing extra blood flow to the skin and slough off dry layers.

    Hi Alexandria, I wanted to say thank you for being open and sharing your journey here. I clicked on your video because I've been experiencing hair loss for a handful of years now, and coping with it has been a difficult journey. I have tried many things to try and stop it falling, but for me the greatest pain over the hair falling has been the belief that if I don't have the full head I once had, that I will no longer be lovable. I have truly believed my whole life that how I look must have some correlation to my identity and worth. I knew deep down that can't be true, but I couldn't understand if my worth doesn't come from my hair, why was it making me so sad to lose it? Why was it making me so sad to be without all the hair I once had? I didn't know that I had more to offer the world than how I look. I didn't know that the people who really love me, don't love me for what I can give or do or how I look, but for who I am and Who I belong to. You probably know all this already, but if you're like me could use a reminder now and then. That you are beautiful and beloved and worthy of love not because of how you look, what you own, how rich or poor you are or any kind of other way of measurement, but because you are a beloved daughter of God and He loves you no matter what. Your worth can -never- be taken away from you, you are a princess of God the King, forever and always. You, who you are is priceless, with or without more hair. There can be peace and joy and life in fullness filled with love and overflowing still, with or without hair, but not without God. He is King of Peace and He loves you and I do too :) God bless you Alexandria!

    I have to say, this is the BEST video on hairloss/hair regrowth process I have found on KZread! I'm on day three of using rosemary water, made rosemary oil last night and I'm super excited to try it together how you do. Over the last 6 months i have noticed hairloss at my part line and definitely along the hairline in the front - as well as my double cowlicks at my crown. It's so upsetting. I don't shed nearly as much as I did a year ago from stress but I have noticed the thickness at the root is getting thinner- like ALOT. I can do the first three things easily but I don't believe I'll be able to financially afford the prp injections - which is okay. Gotta start somewhere 😊 I'm also back in the gym so my diet will be getting back in check and eating more protein and healthy carbs (I naturally gravitate towards vegetarian meals which drives me crazy because I'm gonna have to force myself to eat differently - but I'll keep reminding myself it's for my mental health, my body and my hair loss!! 😅) I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I have saved your video so I plan on coming back to this comment in a month to let you know how it's been going. One last thing, which way do you normally wear your hair. I live in the socal desert and it's HOT AF at least half the year so my hair is 90% in a bun on the top of my head. I need to stop pulling it back like that but I need to make sure I don't blackout from heat stroke 😅 Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!! ❤

    Hi. I think this is what might be happening to me. I have a chronic illness too, and have to take alot of painkillers. I wonder if this could be contributing to my hair loss.

    Hi..I have chronic illness too and take meds. Reading both your comments, I just wanted to tell you my story and to say don't lose hope. Long story.....Two years ago, had long hair.that was starting to thin from thick with a neuro lyme flare plus sinus infections, fibromyalgia autoimmune etc. On alot of meds including painkillers, doxy etc. Then had to get a trim (was losing hairs, thinning) I got a cut by a new stylist. I said trim just ends, bangs...she made a mistake not sectioning me and took my long hair to short before i could stop her! Ugh. Traumatic for me....was physically ncomfortable in a pixie and looked stupid bad. The trauma of her technique also with a thinning shear and part misaligned caused myhair to fall out down my side hairline! Not only did I have to grow out my hair from a longer pixie with layers, I had to grow in hair lost at the root too. Long story short.... meds and illness absolutely do affect hair texture (my antibiotic made it like straw and thinner at crown, lost extra hair brushing it) . Devastated I tried to turn it around desperately. My dr said do 2 things a week for your health no matter what and start from there to heal. It took me at least 6-8 months of really consistently working at it. I was ready to give up. Was going slow. It's a cumulative effect....you dont see it for awhile but things you do can count.... I blended green smoothies with fresh ginger, parsley, cucumber, greens, lemon and coconut water, I used Evolis promote shampoo line, found a great stylist who has autoimmune issues too and she has me mix lavender and rosemary oil into my hair or shampoo, I got the ok to use Hairtamin gummies ( I did 3 months on, 1 month off) vitamin d3 daily, kept hydrated with water infused pitcher (cucumbers, lemon, mint leaves etc) ate wild salmon for the fatty acids and basically just tried to keep calm, gently stretch to get moving (hard to with illness) and not look in the mirror and watch for hair to slowly grow 😅 At the 6 month mark all of a sudden it started to kick in. Growth. My normal hair texture came back by the 8th month. Not all is filled in. A small bald patch under top of my ear is just now sprouting! I got a steroid cream to help that area...Doctor thought it was dead. No just dormant from illnesses. You never know it can take awhile sometimes. Hair loss is not easy to go through. I had to learn I was more than just my hair, my identity...Wishing you all best ❤❤

Luckily, with a change of diet and a lot of vitamins, I too have had much of it grow back. I am going to try the shampoo set and rosemary items you suggested to see if it will help to bring back the rest of the hair I lost.

    I literally saw significant growth in my crown spot. I started last November 01, 2022 and I just took a photo today December 17, 2022 and compared them side by side. I'm honestly kinda surpised and now I don't need to go further into minoxidil and all that unglamorous chemicals lmao I did the following routine religiously: 1. Fenugreek seed once a week every Wednesday or Thursday. I soak it overnight. For instance if I'm gonna use it on Wednesday, I'd soak the seed in water on Tuesday night. 2. I oil once a week on the weekend. My combination is coconut oil + rosemary oil. Leave the oil for at least 30 minutes before shower. 3. I don't have the money for Nutrafol, so I got cheaper otc multivitamins and I separately bought biotin supplement too. 4. I've been drinking collagen powder since November 16 for clear skin and I don't know if this also influenced my hair growth, but I intended it for my skin lol 5. I do scalp massage EVERY SINGLE DAY! Minimum 10 minutes and I usually watch a 10 to 15 minute video while doing the massage to keep me from boredom. 6. I use moringga shampoo. You can get it in your local store or just use milder shampoos, just stay away from overly advertised "natural" shampoo. Also since November 1st, I also started alternating my shampoo use. I use shampoo every other day but I wash my hair everyday since I workout too. 7. NO HEAT, NO OTHER HAIR PRODUCTS. How I dry my hair after shower? I face the fan and let it dry there. I also minimize combing unless necessary 'cause I heard about traction alopecia and we don't want to be pulling our own hair. I'm not a healthy eater at all, only 4-5 hours average sleep, so "de-stressing" has definitely no influence on the growth (but maybe if I start fixing these things, I'd get more result). I'm still on this journey and 1.5 month is too short of a time but the result is already visible. I wouldn't stop until the crown spot completely closes! Y'all can do it too! There is no harm in trying unless you're trying minoxidil lol Also you might ask why fenugreek seed? Why rosemary oil? Why scalp massage? I was convinced to try these things 'cause there are actually medical journals that talk about it and its effect on hair growth. I don't listen anymore. I read and do.

    I’m sure your doctor has informed you about the root cause of your PCOS, Once you are able to control your insulin (diet) your hormones will stabilise. However, the second components to having excessively high insulin..you more than likely also have a Candida overgrowth..which can destroy your gut. So, getting good nutritional absorption can be a struggle. Once you tackle the Candida..the joint and tendon inflammation will ease, and your body will begin to release excess water and fat.

I ended up getting my mental health under control, getting any vitamin deficiencies taken care of, using rosemary essential oil, and of course time. Docs blew me off, wouldn’t even listen since I wasn’t bald.

    I just have to say, you are such a beautiful person on the inside, so whatever you look like on the outside shines through. Your voice is very soothing and you have a gorgeous face. I think your hair looks great and I would never have noticed anything wrong had you not mentioned it. I have suffered with post-partum hair loss and it was scary! Losing handfuls of hair in the shower is very traumatic. Unfortunately, I was told it wasn't "that bad" but to me it was. You, yourself, know that it's not the norm so it can be very frightening. I can imagine it was extremely scary for you to lose so much so quickly. It looks a lot better from the first pic to the 2nd pic! Anyways, I just wanted to say you're beautiful no matter what and we'll watch no matter what you look like because you are amazing!😘

    I commend your bravery and your straightforward honesty. I need that and appreciate that. I have been searching for answers. I have 6 specialists telling me 6 different things my hair loss could be from and meanwhile my fine, thin, layered shoulder length hair comes out in literal handfuls each time I take a shower to the point that it is more each time, and with each one I fill up a quart size bag stuffed of hair with each shower. If this keeps up I will have nothing left. Nobody has an actual answer and they tell me that there is nothing I can do about it that I'm not already doing and that's not acceptable to me. Something is going on and I want answers and in the meantime I want to save what I have and fill in the gaps. Thank you for showing us your journey and giving us ideas on things to try and what may be the causes and how we may get help. Next step may be a dermatologist. I keep begging someone to do a full hormone panel so I won't stop unless someone does that too. I have other things going on and a bunch of testing that is ongoing and I've had some interesting results so far and further referrals with more testing but nothing specifically pointing to this issue yet. Best of luck on your journey! You are looking fantastic and I can see a difference. I'm glad I found you today!!💗

    Thank you for sharing where you’re at now in your hair journey. I believe in you! Many times we have to twist our doctor’s arm in order to get what we need from them and it is worth it! They do not always know best. Follow your gut. 💚 I’m struggling with thinning hair and I noticed what has helped me is taking extra Lysine (an amino acid found in protein-rich meats and vegetables) and taking a prenatal vitamin. The prenatal vitamin I take is the Mama Bird once daily prenatal Multi-vitamin. I don’t know if you’ve tried prenatals but they’re a great way to get some extra nourishment that we don’t get enough of from our food alone. Hope this helps. 👍

Hair loss is often a side effect of medications, and it's not something that's really spoken about. Sure, now we have to feel like crap and lose part of who we are on the outside too. I have recently picked up on the whole castor oil thing - I found a decent inexpensive brand that has castor oil shampoo - but I didn't know about rosemary oil. I think I'm going to give it a shot, along with the dry brushing!! I have one of those silicone scrubber things that look painful but are actually super amazing, for in the shower!

I have a Theradome that I started using on 4/13/22 and I swear my hair has stopped shedding as much. However, I too was dangerously low on iron as I am anemic, and I started taking Iron in February. I also changed my diet and have started an arsenal of other vitamins, Vitamin D, Collagen, Magnesuim, Hair, skin & nails, Quercitin, and Zinc. I have also started massaging oil into my scalp before washing. So I was very interested in your story and it gives me hope!! I am going to follow you and watch your progress.
