I have alopecia. I am vegan and i dont eat gluten or sugar. I went on an auto immune diet for 4 months. I have a healthy gut. My hair didn't grow back at. I have tried EVERYTHING, when I say EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING!!. So now, all I can do is stand on the word of God for my hair to grow completely back. The word of God says, things that are impossible with man, is possible with God. It is impossible for man to cure in-curable diseases (alopecia, cancer, glaucoma, etc)....but it's NOT impossible for God. If you are like me and you have tried everything to restore your hair, pray and ask God to regrow hair where man says hair will never grow in that area of your scalp again. AMEN!!

@@iamnilsa Yes. I saw a dermatologist. I have had blood work done. I've checked for vitamin deficiencies. I have had steroid injections years ago when I first detected a bald spot. I've tried every shampoo, vitamin, hair oil, etc. What has happened is the hair that I DO HAVE is growing and it's very healthy, but it's not even enough to catch into a ponytail. The crown is bald. My focus is not on the hair that I have, but the bald areas. I just purchased a laser cap with the red lights inside. Of course I have been told that it is not for scarring alopecia, but I'm willing to try it anyway. The cap was $800. So yes, I have tried everything, literally EVERYTHING. A woman's 👩🏽hair is her 👑 crown and glory 🕊✝️....and I don't believe that God intended for women to be bald. Of course, we have to do our part and take care of our hair. When I was much younger, before internet & KZread, I didn't take good care of my hair. There was no information like we have today to help guide us in proper hair care. Black women were told that we couldn't have long hair. That was/is a lie, but we didn't know it. Our hair just needs moisture and natural protective styles and it will grow to our butts. Thank you for your KZread channel. I appreciate you. May God continue to use you to get the message out on how we should pamper and take good care of ourselves and our hair. 💯🤝🏽❤️

Changing your diet to more whole foods and less processed and drinking water does make a difference. I started taking Hair La Vie vitamins for hair growth, plus doing protective styling that doesn't stress my scalp and edges (crochet twists). I do scalp massages and use hair oils on my scalp. Stress is a huge factor. I noticed that once I started dealing with my stress in a more productuve way ( prayers, journeling, standing up for myself, cutting toxic people out of my life) I felt better and less stressed. I actually started loosing my hair as a result of extreme stress at home and work, but didn't make the connection for years. This is my time for healing.

My edges and the crown of my head have been bald for over 13 years due to several traumatic events and severe stress. I’ve done all of the creams, steroid shots, and other toxins with no results. I started changing my eating habits in summer 2017 and stopped all forms of medication, but my stress and anxiety hasn’t changed; and at times cause me to revert back to old eating habits. Shortly before my hair fell out, I was experiencing a lot of gut issues that have persisted over the years, but dramatically improves when I am able to stick to a fruits, nuts and veggies only lifestyle. You have given me so much hope and the confirmation I needed to know that my hair will grow back once I find a sustainable way to handle stress and anxiety 🙏🏾

The two biggest things that has helps me was a vision board and every time I think the worse thing is going to happen, I think the best possible thing will happen. It tricks your brain lol.

To those of you that don't know yet, glyphosate is the root cause of most health problems today. Changing diet in my case involved stopping eating foods grown or harvested with glyphosate and other pesticides. It's a very difficult and expensive decision but there is no way I can allow anything to rob me of my health, self esteem and happiness. The scientific world is full of shit and the one lie that I'll never buy from them is that the body attacks itself. Guys, change your diet. Eliminate foods with glyphosate from your diet. Wheat, corn, sugar, canola oil etc. If you must eat those things eat organic ones but stay away from canola oil and olive oils that are not organic. Your gluten and gut issues will disappear. Glyphosate wipes out minerals from the body and interferes with the normal function of many hormones.

Had gluten problems for years.. interesting hearing people with similar autoimmune experiences. in the last year I lost my beard in the last few months started losing my hair. Lost my job bc covid and haven’t been able to get the stress under controls. Done everything else but the hair keeps falling out faster. Gonna try the essential oils thanks for that tip.

Gosh! I needed to see this. I was diagnosed 4 months ago with Alopecia Areata. My traumatic event was my mom's passing. Eventually I went to the Derm, I'm currently using Minoxidil 5% which is helping but extremely slowly. Just today I found a new bald spot. I've been living in hats, beanies, bandanas etc and I am just over it. I've been a natural curly girl for 4 years already but stopped since I started my treatment because I have to apply it 2 daily and to get between them curls is no joke. BUT, this video just lifted me up! I will most definitely start trying to implement a proper eating plan into my life. Loved this video ❤️

If everyone did the basics of what was mentioned in this video (regardless if one is dealing with hair loss or not) one will be better off. We can do this people! Start slow by just eliminating fast food. Then take away soda, then only drink water with lemon.Only eat meat 4 to 3 to eventually once a week to once per month. We can do this. Give yourself grace too. If you fall get back up, pray and keep moving. Blessings

I was in a physically, sexually, and financially abusive relationship. My hair started falling out. I lost 50% of all my hair on the right side and 30% on the left side. I became insulin resistant and would regurgitate every time I bent over to pick up something. I escaped 3 months ago and I’m still losing hair. And my scalp hurts from the alopecia.

i’m 20 and started experiencing hair loss when my mom died in 2008. No one knew what it was and was uniformed so nobody did anything. I was still relaxing my hair and just tried to hide it cause it only fell out in the middle. I decided to go natural in 2019 and it’s coming along little by little but i think i need to change my diet for better results.

I already had a long standing problem with my stomach and gut and have been taking medication for it. Then divorce totally killed my hair and it hasn't grown back at the front so I've shaved it all off. My diet is very good as I cook from fresh. Lots of fresh fish, vegetables and fruit. l don't eat fried food, it upsets my stomach's equilibrium. My advice would be as soon as anyone notices their hair is thinning or even falling out, jump on it with treatments. I just left mine hoping it would grow back on its own but it hasn't. Thanks for sharing your story. All the best.

@@DesperadoJux Hello there, there is absolutely a connection between the two. As a service provider, it has become apparent to me that the greater majority would prefer the ability to see amazing results where their natural hair is concerned without having to make any personal adjustments to their lifestyle. Diet is certainly one of those connections that clients may already know as a variable in their lack of hair/scalp health and actively choose to ignore simply because it requires a bit more effort. Even more than effort the assumption that they'd have to give up some of their favorite foods and beverages in exchange for more hydrating and nutritional options can be unattractive to some. Truthfully, we've been given all we need to achieve optimum health.

You can also add lavender, tea tree oil, all of these helps in hair growth They sure worked for me when my hair was thinning and coming out due to me taking medformin for diabetes. I was wondering why this was happening, until a co-worker told me the other side effects of taking that medication. I stopped taking it, and told my doctor, and was put on something else.
