[@lucianabrady-henderson6653]

I have been receiving treatments from a certified tricologist for the past 7 months. This means I get a collagen about twice a month. The micro needling feels okay, no pain just acute awareness of your scalp. My hair has been growing back nicely. I have hip length locs so it means a lot to me to be able to see my scalp sprouting little hairs. The whole process has cost me about $1,000 so far. It's worth it to me. Also, I massage rosemary oil onto my scalp at least once a week in between appointments.

[@stephiejane]

You are welcome!

[@dr.m6152]

Hi Cassandra, you can try scalp micro needling but you can't be too aggressive with it. And don't go back qnd forth. You're supposed roll it, lift it, then toll again, in one direction. Also a derma pen or derma stamp is better.

[@dexex288]

Just a note tho, an HSA is not free money. An HSA is a type of tax sheltered account that you own, that you put your own money in. So you need to fund your HSA. Now if you are lucky, your employer might actually put a certain amount in (so that would be “free money”). But in all seriousness, an HSA is to ease the financial burden if you have a high deductible.

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

I have used the Irestore Pro (white) helmet for about 2 1/2 years, and I would say the results are decent. For context: I have androgenetic alopecia (i.e. female pattern baldness). I had thick voluminous hair until my 30's, and then it gradually started to thin out over the next 20 years or so. A few years ago I started noticing some actual scalp showing through, so I could no longer ignore the thinning. I bought the helmet and I also started using Nizoral dandruff shampoo twice a week. Nizoral has an ingredient that neutralizes DHT hormones that are on the scalp and cause hair loss. Results: I have more hair. It's still quite thin, but my scalp is covered, hair grows in healthy, and I don't worry about bald spots. Bottom line, the helmet is not a miracle worker; but it produces good enough results and I would say that it is worth the money (and the time spent with a silly helmet on my head). 👩‍🚀

[@sable7114]

Glad it has worked for you. I've heard such things like it changes the texture of your hair or the color such as in gray hair turning whatever your natural color was Prior. Did you notice any of that? I just started using the pro the latter part of December but I've not had good dermatologists who sing to care but have been told that I have scarring Alopecia. I talked with the company about that and I don't know why I can't have more than one type of alopecia and I see follicles over a good area of the bald area and think there is potential for growth there Karma enough growth to cover whatever it is I need to cover like the bald spot. Luckily my hair is long enough for a comb over and when that one doctor said I waited too late and I did not I was questioning doctors years, I repeat years and no one was helping me. Nevertheless, I'll see what happens and I have faith. I think this is a helmet that you have to use forever if it works right?

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

@@sable7114 Yes, you have to keep using light therapy forever if you want it to keep working. My hair has been graying for a long time, and it continues to do so. I know what you mean about doctors. When my hair started thinning in my 30's, I told my doctor, and he literally laughed at me. Even now, if I mention it to a doctor, they just say it's genetic and dismiss it.

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

Oh, and I forgot to mention, no texture changes except that it looks healthier. I've lost some of my natural curl but I think that has more to do with the natural process of graying than with the device.

[@bluespiral4678]

@Jasmine-in-my-mind haven't used the I Restore in particular. However, I've noticed that wearing a red light therapy helmet after derma rolling heals my scalp faster which I find quite fascinating.

[@Jasmine-in-my-mind]

@@sable7114 Yes, it's a forever thing unfortunately. I'm sorry you had trouble getting help from doctors earlier on. I can relate to that. After I had lost about 30% of my hair, I asked a doctor for advice, and his response was to laugh at me. Other doctors were nicer, but they offered no help either.

[@hopeoftomorrow8410]

I have struggled with hair loss since teenage. I am 44 now. Hypothyrodism, allergy, asthma, endometriosis, depression and pre-menopausal. I think I tried everything......I HAVE THE BEST HAIR NOW, which may sound like a paradox. However, I fixed my blood pressure, which was extremely low my entire life - with ginkgo. The lack of blood circulation in scalp can be an issue. What also helped with hair quality was Daeng gi meo ri herbal shampoo and conditioner. After a couple of uses, my hair falls less, grows like crazy and looks healthy and shiny. There is always hope !

Yeah blood circulation promotes hair growth. I watched a vid of a young woman who said she lies across her bed on her tummy, & hangs her head upside down (so blood flows to scalp) & massages her scalp for 4 or 5 mins a day. She said it has worked to make her hair grow in. Microneedling also works, but the point is to cause bleeding. Causing the minor injury brings blood to the scalp in order to heal the injury. So you microneedle only once a week, & allow ur scalp to heal for the rest of the week.

[@DMoz13]

Yes, please do a video on Nutrafol. I've never heard of it before. Thank you!

[@skiergirl4753]

During the spring/early summer of 2023 I lost more than half of my hair. I did my bloodwork and it showed up fine so there was no obvious reason. I started to use home made onion shampoo (onion has proven benefits for hair growth), rosemary oil, started to masage my scalp and tried placenta ampules for hair. Now 8 month later my hair has almost fully returned to it's previous thickness and I have so many baby hair that are still growing 🤗

[@MikaelaRuby]

Hi Cassandra. I have to say you always bring smile to my face! I love you for that :-) just keep doing what you are doing, you are doing it right! I spotted some hair loss 2 years ago, I will be 48 this year, so pretty much age and hormonal changes. My biological father was almost bold in very early age, on other side my mum is 70 and she is like a lion. I never had hair like her so I know I have to take care of them. I went to see trichologist 2 years ago, was diagnosed with Telogen Effluvium and I started with microneedeling/serum sessions every other week, vitamins, good shampoo. Nothing much happened after 6 months. I stopped being so worried and accepted that with age our body changes anyway. I bought laser cap from the clinic (no specific brand though - 282 diodes, pulsing red light). I went to see another trichologist few months ago. We were talking about laser caps and she told me that they work the best directly on scalp, the light will not go through the folicles through the mass of hair. This made me think. Does the laser cap only works directly on the scalp where I part my hair? ..... Based on your videos and videos of other trichologists I discovered iRestore Elite which I am tempting to buy and replace my current one. But my question still remains if it is working on the scalp under the hair. I wrote the company several times, they answered all of my questions but never this one about hair covering the scalp while using the laser cap. I did a reserach and no one actually talks about the mechanism of how the red light comes through the layers of hair under the cap to the folicles. All explaining videos show only short hair. On other hand all promotional videos of all companies producing laser caps show people with lots of hair putting laser cap on. My question is: do you know how it actually works through the hair? Otherwise we would have to shave ourselves to have the best results? Thank you for reading my long comment 🙂And thank you for all recomendations. I am going to buy Nutrafol, it looks ace! Thank you millions, you are absolutely brilliant! xxx

[@erikatongori4327]

Hello! I am also very interested in this!!

[@VeraCasaca]

I thought the same. I think you'd need to part your hair in different ways in different sessions. I would say the light will find spots that are not covered by hair and penetrate the scalp but it won't go through hair itself.

[@Sophieyoutube]

[@Anikanoteven]

Seriously! Unless you’re a senior…then it seems they can’t do enough unnecessary expensive tests. I could relate story after story as to how our system has underserved and even permanently harmed friends and family. In my late 30’s I started getting massive shedding. After four years of not getting any answer from my GP and dermatologist I got a referral to Toronto’s Women’s Hospital. The waiting list was two years( I kid you not). Travelled to TO, waited four hours only to see the student doctor, waited another hour to see the actual doctor, who looked at my scalp for 30 seconds, declared it was caused by stress (it wasn’t) discussed it for another minute, because I kept asking her questions and then left. I have many family members who live in the US and I’ll take their health care any day of the week.

[@shana625]

This is old news. It's just getting worse. I went to a dermatologist 2 years ago about my hair shading/thinning and she told me to take Biotin...without even prescribing blood tests😅​@@sharroon7574

I had an american friend who broke his collar bone, $12 grand! I was floored by the States costs. Here it would be $0 @@SharonRaeRyan

I can only speak for myself. Oiling my scalp, doing hot oil treatments, taking biotin work on my hair. I went from shoulder length hair to waist length hair in about 1 year. I go on what works for me.

[@meganpowers8374]

I know Cassandra has thought of this but for anyone else that never made the connection like me, long term use of depression meds can actually cause hair loss too. My idiot butt had to have the doctor explain that to me!

Also some blood pressure medications like beta blockers.

[@terfalicious]

I used to get microneedling for my face - love it (the results, not the procedure). I do worry that doing it to the scalp might result in breakage or scarring? IDK - I just want you to be careful and avoid side effects! Love ya!

[@bluespiral4678]

I'm a guy with short hair and have been derma rolling for about 2 months. Results are definite. I don't have an issue with pulling out my hair while rolling since I keep it short. Can't really ease your concerns regarding breakage or pulling out hair on account of derma rolling. In terms of scarring, if you do decide to derma roll, make sure you get a roller with 192 needles instead of 540. The latter is indeed more painful and has a significantly higher risk of scarring.

[@terfalicious]

@@bluespiral4678 Thanks for the tip - and the encouragement! I just got a pixie haircut, maybe that'll help too.

@terfalicious my pleasure 🙏🏾 Of all the natural hair regiments I've tried throughout the years on my journey of reversing my hair loss. Derma rolling, topically applying a blend with water, coffee, rosemary, and peppermint oil each day and exfoliating my scalp with an apple cider vinegar based product have yielded the most results in about a 2 month period. Never been this excited about how my hair will look in the upcoming months. Best of luck to you in your hair regrowth journey!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

If your skin is oily, do you really need to moisturize? The idea that "everybody needs to moisturize' is pushed like crazy by the beauty industry to sell products.. You may not need to except maybe around your eyes or in cold weather. I'm just saying, from personal experience, consider what your individual skin actually needs.

[@Marskilius]

I only use moisturizer during the dry cold winters (Some By Mi's 30 Day Miracle Cream is my current favorite) or if my skin barrier is fkd up (Dear Klair's Midnight Blue calming cream is great!). Most of the time serums alone are hydrating enough for me. These ingredients work for my oily/combo skin: bha, pha, mandelic acid, azealic acid, niacinamide, vit C, vit A (retinoids), q10, kaolin clay, charcoal, tea tree, peppermint, rosemary, cica, huttunya cordata (heartleaf). The list is long, but I've tried a shit ton of products during my 10+ years of skincare enthusiasm and found these with trial and error. There's no shortcuts to healthy skin, unless you won the genetic lottery, lol 😂

Yesterday and today I woke up with my eyes swollen nearly shut, and my skin looks awful I've ordered some from Germany that are highly rated and use different sunscreen ingredients.

(If you’re still in warranty, I wonder if they would upgrade you to the latest device?) I’m not sure if it’s worth paying to upgrade from 3 to 5 yr warranty because the device will probably be obsolete with something much stronger out in five years. It’s already a big purchase at $2100 after savings + tax so lmk if you think I can avoid the shampoo, conditioner and vitamins kit? Thanks!

Not to knock Cassandra's or anyone's personal views, but I do think her vegan diet is what's causing the hair loss. I was vegetarian for 10yrs. From 17y - 27y and my hair was always very fine, flat and thinning. For many reasons I quit vegetarianism and started eating meat again. Many things improved, my hair and skin improved and literally overnight I had no more anxiety o_0 I thought I had an anxiety disorder I was always so anxious for no reason, as soon as I started eating grass-fed meat literally overnight I had no more anxiety. For women I think it may be worse when they're on a vegan/vegetarian diet than men, a lot of them have hair loss, anxiety, panic attacks, fertility issues, even seizures. Look at vegan females on youtube and they all seem to have the same ailments. Not trying to be mean, just saying we have to put facts over our feelings, as an ex-vegetarian myself and consider adding meat to our diet. Even Derms always say there is no such thing as Vegan-Collagen; Look up the video/interview 'The Vegetarian Myth' by Lierre Keith on youtube for more info, it is amazing.

[@cinnamongirl4315]

Nutrafol is way too high in biotin for me which is an acne trigger. I've been taking Biosil among my other supplements which is really helping. I have had Covid related hair loss since I had covid last July. Started falling out in large clumps in September. I already had thinner fine hair and have lost nearly 50% of my original thickness. I'm also using The Innate Life brand Rosemary scalp oil. I use Evolvh haircare line. Also using collagen powder daily. My hairloss finally started slowing after 2 months of incorporating these changes with consistency. I do take other supplements such as iron, zinc, d3 + k2, b complex, vit a, omega 3 etc.

[@janicevick9088]

Would love to see the vid with Will . And curious why you didn’t go see him when u had your hair loss.

[@Insight.Served]

Whenever I have skin...hair... issues and see products to try, I always check your videos first to see if you recommend them or not. Hair loss journey step 1. Getting a massager. I cant afford the helmet just yet.

[@kristinl.b9741]

Good and informative video 👍😍 I am post menopause, and I can really see how much my hair has been thinning the last years. (Post menopause at 45, and I am now 53 years old) Any good advices?

[@brittneyespinoza3719]

Hi Cassandra! Maybe I’m just missing it, but I don’t see the video linked about Healthcare Insurance. Can we please get that link? Thank you! This was a great video!!!

[@ac2055]

I just want that $20 scalp massager bc I like scalp massages, esp at the end of the day. 😍

[@nmernst]

HSA accounts are great 👍. You have to be in a high deductible insurance program to be in one. Honestly though, I am banking that money to use when my work insurance ends and I am retired. Thanks for sharing ☺️.

[@JemsaiToam]

Hey Cassandra, here's a hack for you to screen out mean comments there's something I heard another KZbin creator mention about blocking key words that are usually in those kind of comments so that you don't even see those comments because of that screening you can research it further and start using it. Love you and your content

[@Iluvchknz]

You have to have a high deductible health plan to qualify for an HSA. Most of the money that goes in to this account is from your paycheck so your health insurance isn’t paying for it you still are. It is taken out pretax so it decreasing your AGI. It also rolls over and can invest your hsa but your company may make you maintain a. Minimal balance before you can do that. Also to legally use your FSA or HSA the supplements have to be prescribed by a medical provider and in general hair supplements do not make the cut. From the IRS… Currently, the only way to use a consumer-directed healthcare account to pay for most vitamins and supplements is if a specific vitamin or supplement is recommended by a medical professional to treat or mitigate a medical condition with a letter of medical necessity. Massage therapy falls along these same lines. Medically necessary for a specific health condition and ordered by a physician with a letter of medical necessity.

[@cristalaraujo9304]

I have a red light therapy mask (Qure) can I just that mask on my scalp as well? I’ve been putting it on my head for the last few days regardless but would like to know if Im going to see results from it or no lol

[@kirstenlandon3043]

I was diagnosed by a dermatologist as having androgenetic alopecia (hope I got the spelling right). At the recommendation of many people, I started Nutrafol and used it for over a year; but it did nothing. It's been frustrating thinking about all the money spent with no improvement. It makes me nervous to spend over $1000 on a helmet.

[@Apeliotes]

I want a video of recs for rosemary oil!

[@flaviopons142]

If you are curly and have no hair loss issues, oiling is good with any oil, especially coconut, it is a protection against the shampoo (maybe you want to clarify but your hair is dry and brittle for some reason) and prevents snugging and therefore breakage. But does Manes by Mell know that you say regular trimming is a myth? 😅😱 Of course it has nothing to do with growth, but you also want length retention...

[@ScoobyDoosMom]

This is only the second video I’ve seen of yours (love your enthusiasm, btw!) after watching the one on red light laser therapy that promotes the iRestore hair cap. I happened on this video randomly but after watching it, wish that for the sake of full transparency, you had mentioned doing these other treatments/taking supplements in addition to using the cap, in the other video on red light laser devices where you show before and after photos of your scalp as photos seem to suggest that your hair growth was solely from the iRestore. (I wouldn’t have known any different if I hadn’t seen this video.) Perhaps for others more familiar with your channel and journey, they already knew you used other treatments but I now am left wondering if the iRestore was solely responsible for the hair growth results shown in your other video. I’ve seen other people’s videos on the product but their results were far less dramatic. Yours sold me on the product…until I saw this video. Now I’m unsure. I would really appreciate knowing whether these other treatments were done concurrently while using the iRestore before buying the $2k cap which is a big purchase for me but one that is worth it if it can produce results without needing additional hair supplements, anti inflammation serums, etc. I realize everyone’s results will be different but want to set realistic expectations. I hope I expressed my concern respectfully as that was my intention. I would love to hear back from you if you have time as significant hair thinning and loss has been a deeply distressing result of menopause and excess stress. Thank you very much for the detailed videos and sharing your journey!😊

[@ScoobyDoosMom]

Omg girl, 1 kidney, 2 uteruses, Hashhimoto’s, heavy stress 🙋🏻‍♀️while going through menopause 🙋🏻‍♀️ (me too) and dealing with hair loss? 🙋🏻‍♀️ (me too) I feel your pain…like, literally (Fibromyalgia & Complex Regional Pain Syndrome🙋🏻‍♀️) but love how you can find humor in what can otherwise drive us crazy! I hear ya about being F-ed by the US health care system. I know far too many people suffering with severe symptoms who go to the doctor and toms of specialists to ideally (hopefully?) feel a bit better but those doctors often make them feel even worse….especially if we already suffer from anxiety! Before I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome, I went to a neurologist who referred me to a psychologist (because, it must all be in my head, right?) 🤬 Of course, it was a male doctor and I’m a female so no surprise there; also, neurologists are definitely not known for their “bedside manner.” Then there’s my Rheumatologist, who doesn’t even look at me during appointments and is cold as ice. Did I mention the back surgeon who yelled at my 80 yr old mom (kindest women ever) and told her to “tone it down” during my appointment? (I brought her with me to support me because he can be kind of a jerk.) It seems like you have been through it, and then some. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to deal with American healthcare. I realize that we are in some ways lucky to be here but NOT with health “care,” that’s for sure! I feel like I found a soul sister in you in that we both know that there’s a billing code for the warm blankets at the ER! (i’ve had to go down my bills, line item by line item and found that they were throwing things in there that they didn’t even do and hoped I wouldn’t catch!) Wishing you a relaxing long weekend. Thank you for making me laugh tonight and for all the wonderful content.

[@vida3123]

Hi Cassandra, I don't think any Nioxin products are vegan. Can you please confirm if they are or aren't? I tried looking up the Nioxin Niacinamide Leave In Spray but there is no indication to state that it is vegan. I LOVE all of your videos and your honesty! You are truly beautiful and an amazing human being. Unfortunately your iRestore discount won't work for Australia.

[@suestarmom]

I would love to see you do a deep dive on Halo Beauty Kiwi and other hair vitamins

[@susanheckman7466]

help! i have androgenetic alopecia. for 2 years i’m using minoxidil and restore as well as nutrofol vitamins. i’m losing even more density 😭

[@chloeadele4914]

Yay! Curly hair Cassandra!

[@lalaland7773]

Please do a nutrafol video! Thanks for all the great info. Hair loss blows!!

[@aliciagrisel1298]

Watched the whole vid, love you ! Greetings from Sydney!🍗🍗🍗I couldn't find a nugget only chicken thighs

[@Thegardenwhatcanbedone]

I bought the scalp massager and I don't know about it regrowing hair??? But it feels amazing!

[@elopix234]

It doesn’t work for everyone. If you‘re healthy and reached your max for hair growth it won’t do anything at all. For people who suffer from AGA it can help with blood circulation on the scalp and so nutrients can reach the hair follicle.

[@silvertealight]

I needed this video so bad omg. ty!!

[@nona-zx5ev]

your hair frames you so beautifully

[@universallove7741]

Please do a video on nutrafol and the Kiwi ! ❤

[@Smart280x]

Hey, I wanted to ask if you could do a specific video about Minoxidil. I struggle with hair loss for one year now and my dermatologist has told me to go on 2% Minoxidil, but I'm not sure since I am only 16 and I've read that it might stop working after about 5 years and then the hair loss returns. I would love if you could do a video about that.

[@travishutchinson8092]

Re explain that cutting your hair doesn't make your hair grow faster out of your scalp (obviously) but prevents the ends of the hair from splitting further up the stand causing the hair to break off. . Also speak about how your genetics play a role in the type of hair you have. You just have the hair you have and only so much vitamins, lights, and scalp massages are going to "change" your genetics.

[@Zulleikha234]

Hi Cassandra, plz do a video of the best supplements for hair growth and pcos related hair loss.

[@rojasguzman5249]

Can you make please make a video of Hair Transplant trusted clinics that you recommend? USA or Overseas?

[@shannon890]

Can you talk about scalp microneedling?

[@martabridgen1545]

I can't use shampoos for washing my hair .but I have great success with clay washing and oiling

[@Pattii248]

Hey i heard you talking about Curcumin being in your Supplements and I wonder how the Data is? Whats actually proven? Love your curly hair btw 😍

[@PhylLondon]

great Video!!!!

[@VijaySubha1]

Hi Cassandra.Luv ur work and thanks for educating us about skincare,haircare and giving us trustworthy info❤ one question at 9:47 in the video, you have a patch in your cheeks next to under eyepatches. What are those patches and what is the purpose? Are those to prevent sun damage(like spf patches) or for hydration? Thanks in advance

[@matthewmacorkle2615]

Have you considered that your hair loss might be related to vitamin D deficiency? And therefore related to the amount of suncream you wear?

[@M.O.W.]

Ppl trim their dead ends bc the dead ends will break off faster than your hair can grow. So as ur hair grows, if ur ends are splitting & breaking off, then ur hair never gets longer.

[@coraljeannesmith5659]

Ok so as a 45 year old Mom (im healthy and active-SKINCARE IS AN OBSESSION HENCE YOUR CHANNEL) and I've just noticed that my hair is shedding so much more than it did a year ago. I am BIPOC so I wear a silk bonnet to bed, stay away from tight ponytails and when I get my hair done I always use a leave in and I love my shampoo. I am wondering about the red beam brushes and if you have tried those? As a single Mom I can't do the whole helmet thing but the brushes are more affordable. Also is there anything I should be looking out for as a big fat NO or YES when trying to find my "laser"?

[@AprilMay-s8e]

Majority of hair vitamins have the star ingredient which is biotin so biotin is the one and only the rest is a formulation to make their product “unique”

[@Rolzroyse]

Hi Cassandra, I was wondering if you have ever tried Viviscal for hair loss. I would love it if you could do a review of this. Thank you

[@xy1549]

HSA account only works with high deductible health insurance plan. And you are misleading , it’s not your insurance paying for you. You are the one who putting money into this account . Yes, you might lower your tax bracket and save on taxes , but it’s not insurance who pay.

[@floweri4579]

Yes. My husband's employer does contribute some, but it's on us to build it up.

[@nathanvernacchio4056]

You need to do more research @xy1549 cause YES there are some CERTAIN insurances that will cover and PAY for ANY HEALTH PRODUCTS and that does include massage guns and scalp stimulating helmets and all kinds of self care products so please do more research before you try to call someone out for something you barley seemed to look into yourself😊

[@nathanvernacchio4056]

Also it all depends on what job you have like where you work and what state you live in

[@Mazemaster18]

youre so beautiful

[@terrysanchez5205]

My friend took nutrafol and it worked. When her hair got better, she stopped the vitamins and her hair stared falling out again. Please comment on this.

[@Connie-iy9xl]

Nutrifol is so expensive! Cass I can't believe you didn't mention that

[@metrorealty7631]

You should have tours to Korea. Do you have a video on where you went in Korea?

[@Humbleyourself2]

Would you ever please consider making a video on soft water versus hard water because it seems like both of them are bad in their own way and both cause acne and I just cannot win with this water battle. Hard water has magnesium and calcium and a bunch of other minerals and chemicals but soft water has sodium or potassium and those can also exacerbate skin issues. it seems like my folliculitis is so much worse now using soft water and I just don’t understand it.

[@catiehorner9336]

Could you please talk about Vegamour's Gro Ageless Gray Delay supplements? They claim you could control when you turn gray. Love your videos!!

[@andrapopescu9182]

I have a question, maybe stupid, don't judge. Can the face mask be used on the scalp also? To be fair, the hair mask is significantly more expensive sooo...i thought that maybe it beeing the same wavelenght might work.

[@prettynsleepy1073]

I would love a review of the halo beauty supplements.

[@laikristine2153]

cassandra does lavender oil help with hair growth? I know rosemary does, but it darkens hair. I've heard that lavender oil works as well, but i would just like some confirmation!

[@YeeunAn-uv1vl]

May I know the name of that scalp clinic in SK ???
