3 Hair loss Mistakes You're Making Right Now

[@dees3179]

In order to absorb vitamin D you need to also have vitamin K. And that needs to be in the correct form. So make sure you have D3 and K2MK7. I couldn’t get my D levels up despite supplements until I found this out. Additionally, if you have any gut issues, vitamin D is available as a spray and you may find it absorbs better for you that way, especially if you have a lot of other medications to take. I also found my iron levels have to be above 90 for my hair to grow, even though below that they are technically normal. But you can’t take iron supplements at the same time as calcium supplements or eating calcium rich foods (which you might need) so do one in the morning and one at night. Read the small print, otherwise everything you take cancels each other out.

[@dr.m6152]

By Iron do you mean ferritin?

[@Dap740]

I just eat canned cod liver

[@TheEnigmaticmuse]

Mk7 gives me heart palpitations. I much prefer Mk4. But otherwise I agree 💯

[@devssc]

Agree, for me it was a combination of low vitamin D, low iron and low folic acid (from BC). I only noticed hair growing back after these had been restored, so you might want to have your hormone levels checked too! It also really improved my overall mood and energy levels, which in turn made me not get stressed so easily

[@buckyyyb]

would a multi-vitamin be good in this case? seeing as they all play off of each other to properly absorb?

[@louisedimmick7726]

My hair was coming out because I had LOW IRON. Hair can start falling out when ferritin is as low as 50 in women and mine was 27. Worth checking this with a doctor!

[@nataliesue2485]

As an experiment I shaved my head a couple times. The first time was a buzz cut and I wanted to do completely remove my head hair. To see what would happen to the dandruff and if I would like the look. I learned something unexpected. That the recording hair line I thought was genetic, was actually caused by wearing my hair up too tight. Because as my hair grew back so did my original hair line. That was a huge relief.

[@staceyonthesocials]

I can relate to the recorded vs actual hairline anecdote! I started using minoxidil in October to grow back what I thought was my "genetic" hairline and I was (pleasantly) surprised that when it started growing in, my actual hairline was much more generous. Like you said it was probably changed by years of tight hairstyling. I feel like it's changed the entire shape of my face in a good way😊

[@frankied.roosevelt6232]

Just a reminder to all of you: you can acquire new allergies or mild intolerances over time and your hair products might contain them. I developed an allergy to coconut oil and some of the gluten based ingredients in hair products would cause a delayed issue where my hair would start breaking/falling out a day or two after initially using the product. Fragance sometimes does it too but havent been able to figure out which fragrances are doing it yet. They would initially make my hair feel better and then make it worse later on. Cutting those out, adding a sublingual drops of d3 (vegan form i use is bonnet brand on amaz on!), and making sure my folate are in the right range have helped significantly. BUTTTT! Also, my city water got heckin hard after regulations/testing loosened in the recent years. Highly recommend getting yourself a filter for your shower head, too! My partner has found that has helped his hair loss and made his hair so much more soft and shiney every time he uses my shower, too! Most hair loss is multi factor and throwing all those considerations in at once: like go fragrance free for a bit, add the filter, up your vitamin D (its extremely hard to take too much and following the daily recommended dosage even if youre in the normal range wont hurt you), keep up your oral hydration, cut out heat for a while, etc... then slowly cutting back on those measures until you find whats helping and whats not!

[@stefaniemorgan8231]

I have Celiacs and have huge issues with any product containing gluten or wheat. I tried a bond hair treatment at one point thinking it wouldn't be a big deal and had so much fall out it was scary!

Natural PINE TAR shampoo! Once or twice a week STOPPED my hair fall & regrew it. It is the free testosterone in our blood from the zeno-estrogen’s in our environment that causes hair loss. Pine tar washes it off & allows regrowth. Also what helps is NAC tablets 500+ mg’s., the sulfur of these tablets are a natural antibiotic that helps to control any fungus buildup on the hair follicles.

[@mishkaenglish3868]

Satin scrunchies are also brilliant for if if you want to wear your hair up without breakage. I had trichotillomania and it took a very long time and lots of therapy and self love to grow my hair back, as well as changing habits. Never wear hair down in bed, never wear hair up tight, never brush when wet, scalp massage, scalp exfoliants, satin pillowcases, lots and lots of moisture in the lengths to keep the length i have got for longer, no over washing, no towels on my hair (i use a cotton tshirt). Not necessarily things that stimulate growth but things that helped me keep the length and thickened while my new growth came in.

I've got hashimotos and had extremely low vitamin D levels when it was first diagnosed. Actually, the vitamin D levels were diagnosed even before my thyroid came into play. When I started taking 1000 IE that my doctor initially recommended, I felt soo much better. Later on I had to start thyroid medication as well. The vitamin D definitely had a faster and bigger effect on my overall wellbeing than the thyroid medication (at first, because it takes a while before all your levels are okay again). I'm now taking vitamin D every single day of the year. Would not miss it! I've initially had so much hair loss as well, which is definitely also caused by the thyroid issue. Thankfully that has gotten better. I also recommend shampoo without fragrance, the cleanest version you can get (less ingredients is better).

[@mb2770]

Omg yess!! My hairdresser asked me am I doing anything different and that my hair is so much thicker and I said I’ve only been taking vit D supplements and she said it could be related, then I googled it and found plenty of research confirming it. Now I force my whole family to take it 😂

Same. I’ve got hypothyroidism and my hair is thin. I’ve been diagnosed with low vitamin D levels too, but I stopped the vitamins, I think I need to get a higher dose.

I lost almost half of my hair after not only stress (going through a 3 yr long process of finally being granted disability), but also emergency abdominal surgery to remove half of my colon. It was so discouraging and I resigned myself to a pixie cut or something. I have naturally curly hair that was halfway down my back. I changed to silk scrunchies, pulled it in a loose bun (which hid the hair loss to others), started Vit D3 and collagen, added more protein as my GI system could tolerate, and changed my hair care products to salon quality after speaking to many stylists to choose the right combos. Also....I didn't get "trims". One stylist i came to trust recommended "dustings" to just get rid of the split ends and not lose any length and fullness. And patience! Tons of patience! My hair is making a comeback!

As a woman with naturally thick but fine hair (as in, i have lots of hairs on my head but each strand is super silky and fine), traction alopoecia seems to be the culprit for the loss of hair along my hairline! My hair is also quite long - nearly waist length - and i constantly wear it in a high ponytail or tight bun on top of my head, simply because it's the easiest way to keep it off my neck and face lol. I have recently started wearing my hair down so let's see if that will help. On a separate note, rosemary oil has been game-changing in regrowing my overplucked 2000s brows. I mix a few drops each of rosemary and lavender essential oils with castor oil, and apply on my brows each night. Wondering if the same will work on my hair...

[@sarateixeira2561]

Minoxidil grew my hairline back. Yes you have to use it every day for the rest of your life, but it's inexpensive and I just see it as routine care like brushing my teeth. But yes, Rosemary oil and castor oil should work

[@jayniestanley4730]

I went through a similar situation. When I lost both my parents 15 months apart, I also had thyroid issues. My hair was falling out in clumps, just like urs. I went to my Dr. And we got my thyroid meds on board, and I went through counseling to help me with my profound loss. It was a terrible time. So, I understand what you're going through. I also needed Vit D3. So I started taking that too. Now my hair is long and doing ok. It's past my butt, that only took 3 yrs to accomplish. I wasn't trying to grow my hair out. I just let it grow, bcz I can't afford a stylist. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sable7114]

I am so sorry❤😔 to hear of the loss of your parents and 15 months apart must have been devastating. Put on a lighter note, I trim my own hair and I want it long in case I need to use it as a comb over. I'm trying to keep the faith, I will keep the faith!😊

As I was scanning the web (and Amazon) for "another" shampoo that "might" help abate the shedding of my hair every time I washed it (as well as not weigh it down with a superficial residue or be so expensive that its purchase knotted my stomach), by chance I came upon "Kirsch's Rice Bar Shampoo and Conditioner Bar for Hair Strengthening and Growth." Would you consider a review of this most exceptional product? I am taken aback with the excellent results; and I mean excellent--my baby-fine, shoulder-length, 76 year-old hair has not felt, looked or behaved this good in nearly 10 years (and I use a Calista Perfecter Heated Curling Brush set at 355 degrees daily)! It's too early to assess how much less my hair sheds, but I am hopeful!

They have never recorded any adverse effects of people having 800-900 times recommended vitamin D levels.

Men often seek out more budget-friendly options, contributing to intense competition and price reduction in men's products. On the other hand, women may often opt for more luxurious or fancy items. However, there are instances where women can find significant savings. For instance, some bars offer women cheaper or free entrance along with discounted drinks. Similarly, certain dating apps may have lower costs for women. It's worth noting that this isn't about gender taxes but reflects the dynamics of capitalism, with companies aiming to maximize profits based on consumer behaviors and preferences.

[@ernturnstheburn]

while i agree the pink tax is absolutely ridiculous, when it comes to minoxidil i believe they're marketed by gender also bc of doseage differences (mainly that men tend to have the best results w a higher dose and women with a slightly lower dose- since men have higher levels of DHT and testosterone naturally)

Minoxidil in men's doses can make you grow hairs in areas you probably don't want more hair according to my doctor. He suggested to take 1/2 dose and make it last double the time to prevent that

A couple of things. As Cassandra said hair loss can be caused by a lot of things - stress, medications, autoimmune disorders, hormones, lack of hormones, diet, time of the year and so on. I have had severe hair loss a few times in my life. For me it was stress, medications, and post menopause. I just went through pretty good shedding period for two months this fall. And any hair shedding can be depressing. You can go a long way toward correcting hair loss if you can narrow down what is causing it. Sometimes if you are in the midst of stress - divorce, death of a loved one - you just have to get through it. If you are going to take a fat soluble vitamin - E, A, D - take it with food that has some fat in it. Fat soluble vitamins need a little fat with it to be absorbed. And as mentioned, don't take big doses unless prescribed by your doctor. Fat soluble vitamins stay in your body and are not washed out in urine like water soluble vitamins are. I haven't had luck with hair clips. But if you can find the hair ties that are just cloth and don't have the little band of elastic they won't damage your hair. They do stretch out but go back in shape after being washed. Like these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082R4ZBHT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A28HJ20J8Y9A8H&psc=1 I'm 70 and my hair is almost as good as when I was in my 20s. I use hair ties to put it in a ponytail almost every day, and I color it. I use 5% minoxidil at night and Vegamour in the morning. I'm not a spokesman for either. I'm just saying that is what is working for me. The Vegamour makes my hair grow so fast I have to touch up my roots every two weeks.

Taking both D and K has many benefits. They act synergistically and each improve the effects of the other

@lpgilber your Phosphorus and calcium are also directly related to vitamin D and can take some time to adjust to the added vitamin D intake for the first month or so. Try upping your magnesium uptake while you let your body get used to the added D and the pain is actually likely to greatly improve once your D levels are regulated again

Maybe you should look in to taking msm. At the end of the day sulfur is important in hair health. I’ve just started taking it myself, so can’t see much of a difference yet, but I’ve seen a lot of women using it and their results.

[@sable7114]

I considered that and still have the container sitting here unused when I heard that some women were experiencing increased breast growth while taking orally. Some people have made concoctions mixing it with oils and just applying it directly to the scalp. You have to be cautious with that I think if you're pregnant or if you're thinking about getting pregnant as well. Onions have sulfur and if you like onions, just eat them a lot but keep the Listerine handy😂😂

I would love for you to explore the possibility that the cause of your hair loss runs deeper than stress and other factors you listed. I also began losing my hair around mid 2021. I've also noticed a large number of people I know have also been experiencing hair loss prematurely as well, and mostly women. At first, the doctors told me it was due to COVID. COVID was causing Telogen Effluvium in many people, causing them to lose their hair and regrow it within a year. I sighed with relief and continued with my life. But I noticed not only that my hair never grew back, it still is continuing to thin and fall out. So I began to research further. I came across a few studies tying the COVID vaccine to hair loss. I will preface this by saying I am a huge supporter of vaccinations, antivaxxers make me sick, and believe in science backed information, not conspiracies. But I do believe that there is some connection with the vaccines and hair loss. It correlates with the timeframe of when I began to lose my hair, and when others I know also began losing theirs. I hope you consider researching this further. It may not resolve the issue, but at least it may provide answers to lingering questions.

Minoxidil is very toxic to cats. As in, toxic on contact. Nobody mentioned this until I purchased a bottle. Now it’s sitting in my cabinet and I am afraid to use it. I have 2 indoor cats.

[@aspcia]

Googled: "Pets are pros at swooping in and snatching something off a counter and ideally, pets should be kept out of the area while you are taking or preparing medication. If a pet does ingest medication that is not intended for them, make note of what medication was ingested, how much was consumed, including the strength and quantity, and when the exposure occurred. Then call us or your veterinarian," Schmid says.

[@sarkahalastova9667]

@@aspcia As I said, not just by ingesting, I hear that minoxidil is toxic for cats (not dogs) on contact, inhaling etc. I am not sure if this is true as only a few sources mention that. But since minoxidil is a long-time treatment, I am afraid to expose my cats.

Thank you for the video! So if I understand correctly, once you stop using the irestore you lose all the hair that grew? So we need to use it indefinitely? Also can you apply the rosemary oil directly to your scalp? 🙏

People are having all these issues due to lack of following the “healthy mind platter”. Vitamin D is really easy to fix by just drinking milk according to RDI like 500 ml for grownups. This goes for iron as well and other vitamins/minerals. A dosage of pills for everything can’t be healthy.

[@ScoobyDoosMom]

Can anyone on here recommend a good quality dry shampoo, perhaps even one for those with thinning & hair loss, for those of us who are trying to wash our hair a bit less each week to avoid washing it all down the drain? I’m addressing hair loss in other ways such as Vitamin D supplements & diet but mine is a result of a combo of severe stress, menopause & autoimmune disease. Thanks.

[@shannonsieber869]

Be careful with the lllt red led hat. Too much use speeds up the hair growth cycle and can cause major hair loss. This happened to me.

[@kayscanningacademy]

Girl this VitD thing -- I have auto immune issues and recently had my levels checked. In the USA, "low" on the scale begins at "30" (of however it is they measure it)..... Mine was 12😂. They hooked me up with the super high dose pills to take once a week.

[@sofiadanila2005]

Might a vegan diet be one of the causes for your hairloss?

[@valentinalander]

Yes I suspect so. I used to be vegan and lost SO much hair, this improved slightly when I went back to being veggie, and improved dramatically when I went back to eating meat. Your body will prioritise more important functions carried out by enzymes (proteins) and I guess growing hair ain't that high on the list.

crazy thing is my hair grows when i drink milk.

Do you have any suggestions for hairstyles to wear to bed? I don’t like a low braid or low pony because I like my hair off my neck. right now i’m doing a very loose high pony or bun with a clip and it’s been ok but I still don’t know what’s best lol

Hi, what about something like a turbant?

[@kel292]

i’ve got hair down to my tailbone and i loose twist+pile my hair atop my head, “secure” by adding a scrunchie (as is, i don’t actually twist the scrunchie at all) then top with a silk cap. this plus a silk pillowcase is an absolute game changer on tangling. it tends to get loose or partially fall off at night but keeps my hair protected and off my neck. maybe that might be an idea to try for you? good luck

Are you maybe starting to go through the menopause? I have heard a few ladies in their late 30’s early 40’s talk of hair loss because of menopause, that could be a possibility as could it be as a result of weight loss from all the stress you have been going through. Sorry you have been going through a tough time ❤ I hope you can figure things out and get to feel better!

PLEASE, HELP I A SIS OUT!!! I'm looking into buying rosemary oil...I found a cheap one on Amazon, but it's a "rosemary mint" oil from Mielle. The reviews are amazing, but is rosemary oil the same as rosemary mint oil? The bottle states it's a blend of the 2 to strengthen scalp/hair and includes biotin. Should I go for it? Or is there a difference between what I'm looking to buy and pure rosemary oil ?

Rosemary can make you break out if you are allergic

[@melissagalech3649]

Cassandra, I thought you would want to know that Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty Science broke down why Rosemary oil is NOT super great for regrowing hair. The single peer reviewed article that everyone has been taking from thinking that Rosemary oil is as good at regrowing hair as Minoxidil. It isn't! First of all, they compared it to the 2% Minoxidil that nobody recommends using. Second, the numbers on the article don't add up correctly. People have just been reading the abstract of the article that does not give the whole picture and the whole picture ends up not making sense. In short, you do not need to bother with adding Rosemary oil to your hair regrowth journey. It most likely will not help you, 5% Minoxidil will help a lot more.

[@Alyshanen]

I thought everyone was taking vitamin D supplements? Or is it just a Northern European thing?

[@MelanieLabuschagne-n5q]

Cassandra, i want to ask a unrelated question...the ordinary only became more readily available in South Africa - yeah i know😂. Got myself some products and would just like to know what your take would be on my regimen. Night 1 lactic acid followed by retinol 5% with squalane, night 2 granactive retiniod followed by tretonin, night 3 aha peeling followed by cold pressed rose oil. Repeat...my skin isn't complaining but just want to know if perhaps it is too much? I also use barrier repair every morning. Looking forward on your view/suggestions❤

[@scienceislove2014]

Do not use acids with retinol

[@scienceislove2014]

Tretinoine and granactive retinoid together??? No!! First of all, both are retinoid.. Tretinoine is just too aggressive to be used with anything but a thick moisturizer... Rose oil.. can be a bit sensitizing to some.. wouldn't recommend using em with peels.. Also, Cass has a playlist dedicated to this very brand ordinary.. Skin of colour are more sensitive than caucasian skin...so remember that.. This can give you phyperpigmentatiom

Are you vegan or vegetarian? I'm not trying to be combative, but that can make hair loss much worse. I went from vegan to meat based (modified carnivore) and it fixed my hair and my health problems. I just got my blood test results after two months on carnivore and my white blood cell count and other numbers that have been low for 8+ years were normal 😳
