I'm 73, been doing the side part since a co-worker who had training as a hairstylist suggested it. Because I was menopausal & my center part was thinning. Dr. Mary Claire Havers I just wish to GOD there had been a doctor of your sort available in my day. I am sharing your videos with my perimenopausal 43 year old daughter & a 51 year old new friend. You are amazing. My daughter still has hesitating in believing. But my 51 year old is gobbling up every video I send her.

Do you have a website? It’s very distressing to start losing hair but there must be natural things that help. Thank you:)

I'm 33 and going through extreme hair loss, you can see my scalp all over. It's traumatizing, especially because my hair was very long, thick, healthy, full & a part of my identity, I LOVED my hair so so so much! My hair was always complemented & admired by people, its like I'm being punished. My hair loss started a year ago, but the last few months it has been just falling out, all day.. Showers are traumatizing, brushing is hell. I'm starting minoxidil tomorrow. I pray it works. I'm tripping so hard. Of all the aesthetic things that could happen to me, this is like taking my favorite part of me away from me.

Yes, see a dermatologist if have not done so. Don't take you are just losing hair due to genetics either. You may be low on something and stressing adds to it. I started losing hair on and off in my early 30's after starting a high stress job. The things that helped was birth control pills(low androgen), becoming pregnant, and minoxidil helped some. I just would notice hair growth with these things. These things, of course, at different times. So androgen has something to do with hair loss also. Every time I have had a stress to by body I would experience hair shed. To add there has been a study on rosemary oil, oregano oil works as well as minoxidil. To add, currently I am using keratin intensive hair drops.

Look into finasteride, my hair was thinning due to menopause, then I was diagnosed with Uterine cancer and went through a radical hysterectomy 9 months ago, I had a huge amount of hair fall out following surgery, I could see my scalp in areas, I started on finasteride 5mgs a day and my hair is very noticeably growing back, I had tried minoxidil and never saw much of a change, it only kept what I had or slowed down the loss, it also irritated my scalp, please talk to your doctor, I have not had any side effects and I am also on a .5 estradiol patch, again talk to your doctor but I have had great results.

I really am grateful for your videos! I am a heart attack survivor and I am going to be looking into taking HRT. I am 50 and in shape my doc told me it was a rare thing that I had a heart attack. Anyway thanks again for your videos.

My sister was seen by derms etc. Had the T. E. ( Massive hair loss) nobody really pin points the cause. She also lost massive amounts of muscle tine and weight and her skin was sooooo dry. We knew there were some thyroid issues erc.. Minoxidil was recommended but my sister wanted to get to the root of the cause. Pun intended. Finally she asked her doc for HRT. Finally she got the HRT- 6mos skin, health hair and body weight normalized 1 year later almost back to pre menopause (which by the way has been going on for a couple years) she had to demand treatment and of course pay out of pocket. But quality of life is much better. Vitality is back. My poor Sister ❤️we go through so much before we can get the help we need. Then we get hit over the head with having to pay out od pocket. Wtf is the point of insurance! It's so sad.. we are on our own. Thanks for shedding light on the subject ❤️

This video is so very helpful and informative! I’ve just in the last couple of months figured out that I am perimenopausal, but over the last year or so I’ve noticed the very same areas you indicated on your own scalp thinning on mine. I’ve tried castor oil to no avail and I have to keep my hair pulled back because I have a baby, and also I’m in Atlanta where it’s WAY to hot to wear my hair down. I am ordering minoxidil posthaste. God bless ya. I love that you teach us the science behind things and assume we’re smart enough to learn the information, which by the way is the same thing I love about the Galveston Diet so far- I feel that learning the science behind what has happened to my poor body will help me make great choices when I’m confronted with cravings or lack of motivation. I searched forever for information about menopause and felt so unprepared, but with your knowledge as a resource I am feeling much better about how to manage this time of my life. Especially because I have very young children and I don’t want to be suffering and temperamental while managing their emotions and development. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I was so afraid and now I’m not. Golly that was verbose, sorry doc! Hahaha 😄

I don't know if this is in the comments but she just said fibroids don't affect hair loss but maybe she didn't consider that fibroids can cause your iron to tank and the low iron can cause hair loss. And anybody correct if I'm wrong somehow about that. I had a UFE to get rid of my fibroids 5 yrs ago and it was the best decision ever. But it's possible i could remember wrong. LOVE THIS LADY and thankful for all the knowledge she puts out! Game changer!

Just a correction, minoxidil does not block DHT. The exact mechanism of minoxidil on inducing hair growth is still being researched and there are different possible mechanisms, but none include blockage of androgen receptors. That is why minoxidil won’t stop the progression of androgenetic alopecia. 🙂

At the beginning of summer nothing bad happened to me personally, but I watched so many family members go through horrible trials (infidelity, divorce, cancer) and I had 3 of my close friends or their parents pass away. I feel like worrying about the people I love and feeling their pain and being there for them, has put me in a stress hair loss state. Its a few months from when those events happened and now the shed it on.

This is amazing information. I am 58 and now a Zumba Fitness instructor and on my way to becoming a Personal Trainer. I just went for a haircut the other day and my stylist told me that my hair is thinning out. I am a vegetarian and still eat poultry on the weekends. So I eat lots of veggies, tempeh, tofu and hummus as well as plenty of fruit. I must drink lots of water through out the day too! My own personal trainer told me to drink 1 gallon each day, and that's not so easy because I cannot sleep well. So I drink about 60 oz and maybe 1-2 days per week I drink 100 oz. However, I do take Maca Root Capsules for my hot flashes and feel really good because it balances my hormones too! There is so much to learn! Thanks for all the information!

Hi there, i have thin hair thinning too, and now on perimenopause it's even worst. So, these things are helping me a lot, (it's still falling but no so much, and it's also growing a lot too): -Pumpkin seed oil capsules _Nuts (a handful) daily any,( except peanuts,) and brazil coconuts only take 1 a day, it's packed with selenium but you only need one otherwise your weight will increase. _Increase protein intake _Good collagen supplement _2 litres of water daily _No ponytails at all _Redken champoo (i'm on the freeze free, red one at the moment, but i find them all good), as long as it's not cheap shampoo, the hair needs it now. _A hair mask with a mixture of avocado oil, almond oil, castor oil, rosemary oil (just 2 drops), olive oil, pure argan oil. I buy these oils separately, 100% pure, only the oil. Make a mixture in a bottle, mostly the almond oil, a quarter of the castor and avocado, it doesn't have to be specific, the important thing is to soak the hair in the oil, i put it in my hands carefully as it's messy and i just apply it as a mask, massage, specially on hair line, I put it up on a bun in the morning and wash it all of in the night shower, just ones a month or so... _Vitamins : I take vit D2& K2, vit C, magnesium, zinc, ubiquinol, omega3. good quality supplements,( not cheap ones from the market.) _And topically after every wash i take this serum that it's really magic, I can see baby hairs on top of my hair and my hair line!, it's by Scandinavian Biolabs ( I saw it in an add on youtube), it's not cheap, but it really works, i'm already using a 4th bottle. They do the whole range, but I didn't like the shampoo, only the serum, and it's like water, it won't bother the hair styling. _I also try to avoid hairdressers as much as i can, as they can be to rough with the hair. My hair it's very shinny at the moment and i really think all this makes a difference. I used to eat a lot of salmon, tuna, avocadoes and just whole foods, but 3 months ago i went vegan, and i could notice in my hair ( probably not the best time to turn vegan! ). _Also no sugar ! Hope this helps. Regards

Topical progesterone can also be very helpful for hair loss. Important for women to test ferritin not just FBC and haemoglobin.

You can also add MSM to you facial and body moisturizers. It's amazing for your skin.😊

thank you again for all of your help because menopause is kicking my ass and you are a north star...i started HRT a year ago and a couple of months in my integrative med PA doubled my HRT and told me to check back in three months...welp- my boobs felt like i was pregnant, my body was covered in red itchy hives, insomnia, irritability off the charts, and literally half my hair fell out before i realized what was happening...Q: will my hair loss that happened due to to much progesterone and estrogen grow back? i'm traumatized and still trying to find the right dose for me while scrambling to understand if i can grow my hair back. thank you!

Big increases of hrt can cause these symptoms. Only increase oestrogen, in small increments to reduce these side effects.

@@alisonjackson5814 thank you for the reply- yes, i found that out the hard way...my PA should never have doubled my dose. do you have any idea if i can grow my hair back now? i'm taking collagen and biotin.

Thank you! God bless you for your time and effort. Please tell me which brand of Minoxidil you are using? Amazon has so many want to use the one which you have been using. Thank you so much!!!

I wish there was a “coles notes” version of this video. I just don’t have the time. Quicker point form would be GREAT!

Funny I went to a dyeing bald dermatologist for a check up. I mentioned my hair loss and he laughed. I think I need a new one.

You should!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! What if I have hypothyroidism, can I still use the recommended treatment?

Thx for the great video on hair loss. I react terribly to minoxidil and cannot use it. Am not sure what else to do. Used Nutrafol and no it doesn't work. Am trying rosemary now. Have seen three dermatologists and the last has me on Finesteride which doesn't seem to work! May try minoxidil again. Had a hysterectomy at 28 and still take estriodol, but probably not enough. I am 82!

Shields up as I listen to this and respond to the person who posted the vaccine query. Undoubtedly, the listener values the opinions of Dr. Marie Claire. While off topic to our hair loss dilemma, it was still very pertinent to the time. And while it has been politicized, I was a bit surprised (I say "a bit", because our dear doctor seems to shoot quick and straight from the hip) that her response went there rather than addressing this as a medical issue, which it decidedly is first and foremost. Honestly, she needn't have even responded as it is not the subject being discussed, but she almost seemed to take offense at the question. At the least, she responded in irritation. Her reply was rather party line defense. I'm a regular listener and supporter of the good doctor, and I have directed numerous friends to her. Just a word of advice. Slow down and remember that we are here out of respect and appreciation for you; I'm sure your intention is to consistently treat us the same. God's peace, and thank you.

My hair is already very fine, losing any hair even a little is devastating. My mom at 60 has had been losing hair and it's been thinning for so many years. Btw, your side part is awesome bc not everyone looks good with it parted in the middle ;)

Thanks for sharing and thank you! Side part forever!

Thank you so much for all your dedication. I was going to ask you about hair color- it’s okay to get your hair colored? It won’t create more hair loss? Any thoughts on hydro scalp facials and how about the laser headbands? Thanks for your time.

I used Minoxidil but sadly it caused scabs on my scalp and so I had to stop. Is this a common side effect?

Awesome 🇺🇸 I'm a breast cancer 🎀 survivor 9years remission all most still bald

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. That is a lot in such a short period of time. How are you holding up? ❤

I love her! But I wish she had 'not said if she lost all her hair she would "die". I am completely bald. Not only do I ROCK it, but I've also learned to wear a variety of wigs and I look fabulous! There are many other valid hard life reasons to consider cashing it in, but not complete hair loss.

You are amazing. I'm 37 and have early menopause because of genetics have severe hair loss and experiencing all that you explained and mentioned. I have done my lab tests and all of them are fine. Will minoxidil really work and is there an alternate solution like minoxidil and any natural remedies? Also having bad sleep because menopause. Please advise

I'm from the UK and read Finasteride helps with hair growth (post menopausal). I've contacted two companies which sell it but they both say its not suitable for women and not licenced to sell it - . I'm so confused as you say we can take it. I would like to start taking along side minoxidil. I am so desperate to save what hair I have left. Thank you

I haven't even hit menopause yet, I'm 43 and I'm already losing hair in the parting line and sides. :-( I don't think I can afford any medicines or ANY ANYTHING, really nothing, I can afford to breathe and work work work, (personal project), but at least I want to know what's happening with me and if can at least be stopped, not regrowing hair for the time being but at least stop losing it. I had a consultation with a dermatologist a month ago and she just prescripted a shampoo for dandruff. She never bothered explaining anything. I'm not going to waste my money and time.

Sorry about that!

This is what I’m afraid of. I already started having issues with hair loss since my 20s. Worse at times, better at times. Definitely can’t afford to lose more hair. I’d have to shave it off. Combination birth control is not an option for me because of my migraines.

I suffer from post-menopause AGA. I started with topical minoxidil but it was too cumbersome as my hair texture is extremely layered, curly, and doesn't hold a part. After 9 months I said no more. I switched to a dermatologist who only treats hair patients. I'm taking 5mg/day oral minoxidil + 5mg/day oral finasteride now. It's been a winning combination for me. My hair regrowth has returned to pre-menopause level (when I had no hair loss issues). I am in excellent health and have had no side effects from these medications. YMMV

I lost a great deal of hair on a toxic cancer drug. Then I tried rosemary oil. Worked great as hair is now twice as thick as before. The hairs are finer but I have double the amount and scalp is lovely and healthy. I put the rosemary oil into a scalp tonic.

@@jtedandlindasimpson7044 Get any hair tonic e.g. Philip Kingsley and put 20 drops of rosemary oil into it. Also pour boiling water over 3/4 large sprigs of rosemary, wait 10 mins, strain and use it as a final hair rinse to leave in.

I find cod liver oil and brewers yeast helpful. Hair is bouncy and healthy. Can’t say it replaces hair loss but what I have looks a lot better.

What about for women, like myself, who have had a total hysterectomy? Not to mention Gallbladder removal. Can this contribute to hair thinning? And would that type of hair medicine help?

I'm 40 and just started noticing hair loss I think it's telogen effluvium only the fact I lost my grandma last November in 2021 I was i under stress still under stress over covid and other things that are triggering it I use coconut oil shampoo and peppermint shampoo with tea tree peppermint oil promotes hair growth I've read alot of articles on peppermint oil that it does promote hair growth vitamins also this video helped me not be so stressed over it

It can be helpful (rosemary too!)

What about scalp psoriasis... does it help that? Also, mine suggested oral minoxidil What are your thoughts?

does hairdye affect or weaken follicles and hairloss? It seems like my hairloss started around same time i began using cheap store bought dye instead of going to salon for professional dye job, (approx 4 yrs ago). In fact, it seems like i notice more loss in days/weeks following home hairdying. i follow all instructions for proper amount of time, and color is not overly lightening, etc... i am 55 yrs old. In the beginning, i was seeing lots of hairloss in shower, but not anymore... yet i am still seeing less and less hair on my head. Right in the front/center is where i notice the thinning and hairline receded a little and is continuing to. also seems like i have less or thinner hair all over, but front/center is where i can actually see thinning, and see thru to my scalp. thyroid tested no problems...ferritin a little low...

I am taking oral minoxidil 2 mg and spironolactone 100 mg over a year prescribed by a dermatologist. I am 38 and he said I would be taking it as long as I want the hair to stay on my head. Just trying to find out what are the longterm side effects of taking it orally. I would rather wear a wig than loose a kidney.

I had a lot of hair loss when I was in my late 30s early 40s. Probably my vegan low protein diet at the time. I started looking at hair growth serums. They were all so expensive and every single one of them all had the same ingredient… Saw Palmetto. I started taking that (muuuuuch cheaper) and never had that loss again.
