[@MegaTech81]

The myth of hats causing baldness actually has an interesting story to it: in world war 2, men with full heads of hair would go off to join the war effort and by the time they got back to their wives and families, many of the men had developed severe balding as if it was an epidemic. Their families assumed that the helmets they had to wear was the cause of this, when in fact it was the severe battle stress they experienced from the war.

[@kenlo2410]

And also the helmets are in no way a tight headwear at all, especially back in the days there was no padding inside the helmet so the inner side was just wobbling around the head unless strapped to the chin, very far stretched theory back in the day :D

[@DaBeezKneez]

I believe is possible the helmets, i haven't use helmets too much but when i do my whole scalp gets numb because of the weight of it. I have to take it off every so often and massage my head for some time until the numbness goes away. If i have to wear a helmet for extended periods of time, I feel as if i have no scalp. It just completely cuts off circulation to my scalp. So there might be some correlation. Thankfully is not so often thay we have to do exercises, otherwise I don't think I could bear the numbness and headaches.

[@Sannahmusic]

In my teens, there was a rumour that greasy hair should be washed with anti-grease shampoo daily. It was a year-long struggle, and it got worse and worse. Then I followed the advice of a friend to wash them with baby shampoo. From that day on, my hair looked much better, it did not split that much any more, and I could wash it twice a week. As I do not have to go among people any more now, I wash them once a week, and it is fine. They are healthier than ever.

[@_Kittensworth]

I'm going to try this! My fine hair is so greasy, I have to wash it every day

[@MariaJoseGuzman-qg2un]

From personal experience, I've found that as you stop washing your hair as often, it often returns to its original state. which for me was shinier, thicker, and surprisingly much darker-looking hair. And even though I wouldn't go a year without shampooing (mostly because I enjoy the feeling and smell of fresh-washed hair, and it's a pleasing activity in my self-care routine). Also, my hair has grown so much that it eventually becomes unmanageable if I don't use hair washing and conditioning to detangle and style it. Right now, I wash my hair every two weeks or so, and I wash it when I feel it needs it, not just because a company tells me to when it's in their best interest to sell me more product.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

As a guy with 5 years of hair growth, the idea of not using shampoo is hilarious to me. My hair and scalp thank me everytime I shampoo it once a week. I could see not shampooing it if you live in a cold climate year-round, but if your scalp gets sweaty during a hot day, then I can't imagine sticking with the no poo method especially with curly hair.

my dermatologist actually recommended me to wash my hair twice a day because i followed the "tricks/hacks" on the internet of not washing the hair and that made my scalp clogged and i experienced hair loss... if you live in the tropical country please don't skip on washing and follow trends on western countries because we live in hot humid climate and we are more prone to oily hair. our scalp is not over compensating from being "dried out" by the shampoo. its our climate!

Thank you. I'm moving to a humid tropical country from a more arid country. I know I will have to change the way I do things. This is helpful for me to start. I usually wash every 5-7 days because I have long hair that is dry and high porosity from mids to ends with a normal scalp.

I've had Cushing's Disease twice and had so much hair fall out because of my cortisol levels. It was just mass shedding. It wasn't a specific pattern. My hair is super thick and curly so someone who didn't know me might not have noticed. It was one of the hardest symptoms for me to cope with, though. If your shampoo is curly girl friendly, I'll try it to help with the remission regrowth! Also, could you make a video about your background in art and how that influences your practice?

[@ghostratsarah]

I highly recommend getting a mineral shower filter. It has worked miracles on my hair and skin. I'd been unable to get rid of scalp build up, which was causing my hair to fall out and giving me acne and sores. Now the build up comes right out, regardless of which shampoo I use. I also rediscovered my hair is naturally curly, not pencil straight

[@kathystclair9485]

I really liked this information. My husband had the most beautiful thick head of auburn hair for many years. Slowly beginning in his early 40's he started thinning. Now has pretty much lost it all on the top. I keep it close cut for him. My mother-in-law, whom my husband looks like said her father was bald. So, I do wonder if in his case it is not caused by recessive genes? Thankfully, unlike most men my husband never felt insecure about it. Also, I was quite shocked when I saw a video yesterday of a woman talking about not washing her hair for years. Many of the comments were the same. Just hot water, maybe baking soda. Even at 66 I still have an oily scalp. My derm said if you have an oily scalp you have to wash your hair every day. She saw where I had seborrheic dermatitis which can lead to follicles to clog, therefore causing hair loss in those areas. I wash every other day. By then I'm ready! Great videos!

It is a terrible condition. I agree with you! I am a female with this condition. I can tell you from my experience that stress and critical remarks make it worse. Please avoid making any negative reference in front of your child regarding her condition, such as "...she has ruined the way she looks." or "Stop plulling out your hair! It looks terrible." Please schedule a consultation from a qualified medical professional to get her the help she needs. For me, counseling and learning alternative ways of dealing with stress and anxiety were imperative, and with time, my symptoms became minimal.

[@happymouse442]

Just my personal experience (learned from a KZbinr). I am a woman, 54 year old and always have had thin and not much hair. I was going bald, even thought about hair transplant. Then I came across this KZbinr, doing historical hair care and it made sense to me, so started the journey. Thought nothing to lose since no shampoo was helping me anything. And Rogaine was horrible. So I ditched shampoo and started to wash my hair with clay (mud ) and indian plant water (cannot recall the name on top of my head), only once a week. At the beginning it was really hard due to oily hair etc... However, after a couple of weeks... WOW hair volume became so much better, hair thickening and healthier, and after a couple of months, even my balding spots were much better. I couldn't believe. According to this KZbinr, historically, women had full head of hair up to their waist, even to the ankle until very old age. Modern hair care is not maintaining natural oil etc. I am not an expert but I love my hair now. If you are interested, I can give her name here.

[@FlyingMalamute]

After I caught covid in 2021, my hair loss was greater starting about three months later. The hair loss lasted about a month then it grew back thicker than ever. True story, I caught covid at the hair salon where I get my hair cut, and every hairdresser in there got it at the same time. Our hair started falling out at the same time. You want to see a panicked bunch of women? Try a salon full of hairdressers afraid they're going bald. The hair fall stopped at the same time for all of us so it had a happy ending.

Yogasana with inverted positions that help blood circulation and boost the hair follicles.

[@tokkia1384]

I have a minor criticism concerning the “it’s just Temporary” comment regarding TE and other similar types of hair loss. I understand you have to distinguish them from conditions that cause life-long hair loss, but I feel like a lot of doctors diminish the impact of so called “temporary” hair loss. Im in my 30s. My hair took a good 7 years to grow. If I get TE, and it thins out considerably, that hair is gone. Even if it does come back, that’s a big portion of my youth spent with less hair. All hair loss is traumatic and impactful. When people say “it’ll grow back”, I want to scream. Sure it’ll grow back, and when it does it’ll be graying. It’s very invalidating.

[@elliezzz7812]

Same here!When I’m stressed I lose clumps of hair but since I’ve got anxiety I get stressed pretty often so very rarely does my hair thicken up

I’m so afraid that my thick, long hair will gradually whither away. You said 90% of the hair is in the androgen cycle. But now that I’m approaching my change, my hair growth seems to have stymied!

I’d never get anything done I’d I thought too much about what I look like. Fortunately for me no one else on the planet cares so as long as I can convince myself it doesn’t matter then I ll remain invisible and can get on with things in life that can be rewarding and enjoyable. My appearance is unfortunately not going to be one of them regardless of what I do. Good luck to you, hope you find some balance.

[@luciuelane]

Hi Trina! I'm 41 years old and I have already gone through menopause. Crazy I know. Not sure if it's genetic as my younger sister is having perimenopause symptoms and she is only one year younger than me. About ten years ago I decided to try to go vegan. I did that for about one year and I stopped because I noticed how much hair I was losing. Even after going back on a regular diet my hair was never quite the same. My hair has never been super thick but it was still medium thick. I currently take three different supplements to help. The first one might be controversial but I have found that it works for me. It's the Halo Beauty Hair, Skin, & Nails supplement by Tati Westbrook. The other 2 that I take are a DHT blocker and FoliGROWTH, both by Evolution Hair Loss Institute. Everyone is different so you have to figure out what works for you. I have taken the last two supplements for less than one month so I don't know how much growth I am getting from those yet. I have seen really good hair growth and new hair growth from the Halo Beauty supplement. You can also get your hormone levels checked because that does affect hair growth as well. I wish you luck!

Hair loss genetics stumps me. My son started going bald at 18. His hair got so thin it resembled angel hair. Before that he had a thick, wavy beautiful head of hair. All his hair disappeared except for the ring around the back of his head very early and that hair was extremely wispy. His father and one grandfather had full thick heads of hair. One grandfather was bald, but normally so. On my side, no one had that kind of baldness. My father was not bald in old age, but he had 2 brothers with normal male pattern baldness. No one had hair like my son with his angel hair. Everyone else, even the ones with male pattern baldness had normal hair thickness where they had hair. All other men in the family started balding at a much older age than my son. None of the women in the family had very fine hair either, although most thinned a bit with age. My other son, in his 50s still has most of his hair, just receding a bit. In other words, as far back with relatives that are known to me, no one had hair like my son. What hair is left, he just shaves off with an electric razor. It doesn't even leave a "5 o'clock shadow". I remember when this started, I used to cut his hair for him and it was so wispy that it was very hard to cut.

I wash my hair with shampoo around 4 times a week and have since I was little. I have tried the natural hair care thing out of curiosity and the hair gets weighed down so fast- especially since I’ve always been on the oiler side. I definitely had to do it everyday when I went overseas to visit relatives in a 40 degree (c) humid country. My hair is in pretty good condition and quite thick. It didn’t fall out excessively in my bleaching era either. I suppose I am somewhat lucky genetically.

I have stopped using shampoo almost 2 years ago already and my hair is in the best shape it has ever been. Also I have started to grow it long and I definitely not going back to shampooing them anymore. It may be hard at first to deal with your psychological urges to “clean” your hair properly, and a sense of them being greasy (mainly during the washing process) but all you need is to wash them in fresh water. In the beginning of this journey, When your washing them they might feel greasy (unusual) during the process, but just ignore it, finish, then dry and they are cool, not greasy feelings anymore. 😎

Honey I think your balding is specific to your genetics. It's not necessarily, over 30 year old balding. My mother is in her 70s and isn't balding.

[@yodasmomisondrugs7959]

We are all slightly different in what routines work best for us, but the cutting shampoo down to once every two weeks with regular rinsing in place with no shampoo has 100% saved my scalp and slowed my inherited balding I got from my dad. He was bald at 43 and wore a hat all the time to hide. I'm now 43 next week and have hair down to my shoulders with balding slowed to a crawl from what I can tell. So like exercise I think this is a tailor made type scenario.

[@SpiritOfAbsinthe]

6:28 I can report, from my own experience, that after suffering for 10+ years with flaky, itchy, inflamed scalp and lots of hair loss, I realized that the thing causing all those problems for me was the SLS (which is inside 98% of shampoos, even expensive medicated ones). I realized it because I bought yet another shampoo and after only one wash, there was no itching or anything. And it didn't have SLS. Now my hair is growing back like crazy and I barely shed. It's a good business: you put a very aggressive detergent in your body wash and shampoo and then people need to buy lotions, masks, conditioners and serums to help with extremely dried out hair, stripped of all oils.

[@AngelaVEdwards]

Curly girls do not comb or brush their hair. At all. So the 100 hairs lost usually get lost in the shower when we wash (most of us detangle in the shower while we have a great deal of conditioner in our hair). Because we only wash every few days to a week or more that "lost hair" can look like a bunch. That's because it's all showing up at once. I wash every two weeks and last time I went three weeks before I washed. My hair looked just fine and it didn't cause me any issues either.

I had a keratin smoothening treatment 2 weeks ago and my hair has never looked so much healthier since I’ve damaged it with bleach, dyes and heat. But 8:39 formaldehyde is to be avoided but i believe it’s a component of keratin treatment. So is this actually bad to do every 3-4 months?

[@fullup91]

The formaldehyde remains in the hair and releases over time as the bond breaks down. These fumes can be harmful if inhaled or if they come into contact with your skin. So it's not only harmful on the day of the treatment. You become toxic for months after

Formaldehyde is a dangerous toxin. We bought a couch and had to return it because it had formaldehyde in it. I couldn't sit on the couch without my eyes burning and cold like symptoms. I googled it and they are supposed to be doing away with it...who knows? But it is because it has been known to cause cancer.

There is something to shampoo drying out your scalp, even if you use it as recommended. I've had scalp irritation problems for most of my life and recently started looking more carefully at the ingredients in the products that i buy. For me the ingredient that seems to cause irritation is 'sodium laureth sulfate' which is responsible for producing the thick lather shampoos are known for. Of course this is a personal account, and I'm not saying that this is universal in any way, but I would just like to give a different perspective to those struggling.

I stopped using shampoo 2 decades ago. After the first 2 weeks the scalp stopped producing excess dust-catching sebum. Now I wash my long hair with hot water, brush it regularly/comb with a bone comb. I'm now 70yrs old; my hair grows well and is in great condition, to the point people comment on it. If it gets oily from eg a massage, I use a little bit of washing up liquid to get the oil out. Rinses out easily and isn't full of strange stuff.

One thing I've been wanting to ask is: does anti hairfall shampoo really work??, It often confuses me, since i see some people saying they're experiencing hair shedding, but isn't it normal to shed hair everyday??, Like when the amount of hair you lose everyday is more than normal, than that is when we can say that we have problem wether it's tellogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia, or alopecia areata which cannot be treated by anti hairfall shampoo..so when people say that they have hairfall problem, what do they actually mean???

[@RavingKats]

It's normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day. Anti hair fall shampoos work via a variety of methods, some better than others. Biotin is a supplement that impacts hair regrowth, which is more likely to work when taken as a dietary supplement instead of a topical product. The other anti hair fall shampoos basically use volumizers to give the hair the appearance of being thicker temporarily and/or claim to "strengthen" hair via - again - vitamins and/or minerals that are better/more useful as part of a diet vs applied topically. The only thing that actually strengthens hair is hair bonding treatments that try to restore the internal structure of hair so there's less breakage which many times is confused for hair loss but really is just damaged hair breaking off. Hormones also impact the speed of hair regrowth and its density, so it's always a good idea to make sure bloodwork comes back normal before making any changes.

[@danapellegrino5589]

When I started shaving my hair did come back thicker and darker though. This goes for multiple areas I shave. If it wasn't the act of shaving that caused that, what was it? Genetics? What you said does make sense, but that doesn't line up with my own personal experience, unless it only specifically applies to shaving your head and not the rest of the body

[@auricia201]

I've seen many dermatologists debunk the whole "hair grows back thicker as you shave", regarding specifically non-head hairs. But I'm with you, I've seen it happen to me. I understand that there might not be any explanation to why it would happen, or maybe it was a huge coincidence that my body (due to hormonal changes for example) happen to make hairs thicker. But that's not enough for me to risk shaving in certain area where I Really wouldn't want it to come back thicker.

[@danapellegrino5589]

@@auricia201 I started shaving different areas at different points in my life, and each time the hair came back thicker and darker, so I'm not really convinced it's a coincidence, for me anyway. I know hormones and birth control affected some areas for me again later on. Also, I thought maybe the act of shaving the head might be different since the follicles are deeper there than other parts of the body, so that's why I was wondering if he was only specifically talking about the head here. I do think that there has to be something affecting the hairs in other areas from the act of shaving, but maybe no one has managed to figure it out yet.

[@auricia201]

@@danapellegrino5589 Indeed. Not having proof that it happens is Not the same thing as proving it's a myth. I understand that it seems weird and unlikely that shaving on the surface would influence hair's growth, which happen on the root. But I also still see that happening, and I won't disregard my own experience. Actually, I started shaving as prep for laser hair removal. The laser didn't work well, and I ended up with more spreaded body hair 😑

[@danapellegrino5589]

@@auricia201 ahh oh no, that sounds terrible. Have you considered electrolysis? It's supposed to permanently damage the hair follicles so hair never grows back. It's more expensive though I think and you do need to go back like every decade for new hair in other follicles. I have an IPL device I use at home and that works fairly decent. For dark skin or light hair though there are specific types you'd need to get. A regular IPL won't work.
