[@erinodonnell386]

As someone with a thyroid condition that causes their hair to fall out (my hair has thinned out a lot over the past couple years), I want everyone to know that you are beautiful and worthy of love and affection regardless of what state your hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are in. I know that sounds really obvious but losing a lot of hair can feel really demoralizing and scary and be a bit of a confidence killer. You are loved and wanted and beautiful.

[@paulasendin5247]

I also have a thyroid condition so I relate to the first part so much, thanks for your words

[@erinodonnell386]

@Miss Catastrophe Your hair grows at the rate it grows which is largely genetic. If you eat well, exercise regularly, take your medications responsibly, and generally try to take care of yourself that will optimize your hair, skin, and nails. Hair growth potions, solutions, pills, etc and supplements in general are not well regulated in the US, they make unsubstantiated claims and can even be harmful when combined with other medications or taken at improper doses. I don't mess with that stuff at all and wouldn't encourage anyone else to especially not without first discussing it with their doctor. Honestly, my best piece of advice is to find a hairdresser you like and get regular haircuts to maintain flattering layering that helps to improve volume so you can't tell that your hair has thinned out as much.

[@Mercy2Mee]

Hello love, have you tried rosemary oil? It helps tremendously

[@alphafish4756]

TIP: I have found when I wear my hair in a bun or pony tail I experience the most hair fall and tangling, so I wear my hair down or braid it and that has reduced my hair fall quite a bit!

[@Emkay6]

Same!! A low, loose braid or the front pieces clipped back with a claw clip is the only way I pull my hair back and it’s helped so much!

[@NavyChic1091]

I only ever brush my hair when I've just washed it. I lose SOOOOOO much hair or at least it seems like it. Mell has really helped for me to get comfortable with hair fallout. I still have a head full of hair 😂 Thank you!

[@Momopimko]

I was losing lots of hair. Went to the doctor and turned out I was almost severely anemic. My hair had almost no curl. Now that I’m not anemic, my hair is growing back curlier and fuller, which is great 😁, but now I have really curly pieces near my scalp and then... not so curly ones from mid to ends. I’m doing my best to get used to my new hair... and you’ve been a really big help. I’ve binged watched all your videos. Thanks Mell! ❤️

[@Momopimko]

Sophie I did a couple things recommended by my doctor, I got a set of 10 iron injections because my hemoglobin levels were extremely low. I took a iron, B12, B6, D, zinc, copper and folic acid vitamin (it was an all in one vitamin pill thank God except for the Vit D). Ate tons of spinach, beets and legumes, specifically lentil soup. The iron vitamins can mess up your stomach, so I always ate before taking them and followed it up with a cup of orange juice to help with absorption. I wasn’t allowed to drink coffee or tea. And what I found helped a TON (and no nausea) was a mix of beet juice and carrot juice on an empty stomach in the morning for two weeks straight... that shot my hemoglobin levels up real fast. Following all of these recommendations, I was anemia free in three months or so. I hate beet and carrot juice, but every time I get my period I make sure to drink the mix just to make sure my levels don’t go below what’s normal because of blood loss. I just cover my nose and drink up 😋😖. Hope you’re able to recover soon!

[@Layla-dd9pg]

Hi Mell, you probably won't see this, but the video means a lot to me. I've experienced several bouts of telogen effluvium for the past 2 years because several traumatic events happened in my family that just seemed to never stop. It seems like the worst has finally passed, but at the expense of what feels like 3/4 of my hair. Just when my hair was starting to recover, another horrible event would happened. I had hair that was even more dense and thicker than Amanda's and now its so much less than what it was. My neck used to hurt from how heavy my hair was and I now I can't feel it. I'm trying to accept that this is temporary and things will get better, but its really hard, and seeing your video has helped a lot. Hearing it from someone whose videos I enjoy and have taught me a lot really helps to assuage some of that fear and just trust the growth process. Thank you.

[@Lysaidaromero]

You’ve given me a sense of relief, because I was loosing a lot of hair. Thank you for that thorough explanation for hair fall out. I’ll try not to stress too much, but with four boys and an annoying husband I don’t see how that’s possible. Lol

[@arkikali5632]

Thanks so much. My hair has thinned so much as I get older. On the issue of hair color, I'll say this--if you have dark hair and are going gray, either go gray all the way or cover it. But dark hair with gray around your temples creates an optical illusion where your "grays" don't register to the naked eye (the gray kind of disappears when you're looking at the hair as a whole), so it makes it look like you're missing all that hair.

[@Vedderhead33]

Menopause has me looking like I’m making a toupe when I wash! Stress makes it worse. I cut 5 inches off of my hair because I thought, if I’m going to lose it, it’ll be less traumatic if it’s short. Then I forgot how much I dig chin length curls on me!

[@uls-ks9vl]

This video’s made me feel so much better, I was literally crying 5 minutes ago. What concerned me initially is that I never used to shed more than ten strands a day when I was young. Now I’m 15, and I don’t know what to do. I have wavy/curly hair and my mum refuses to spend money on curly hair products so I get so tired of my strandy half-curly straight hair, and I detangle every day. And when I do, I see major hair fall.

[@mirandabe5765]

Hi Mell just wanted to tell you that you are such an inspiration for me and watching your videos has brought so much joy in my life, a lot of problems I had with my curly hair you solved them for me , you inspired me to start taking care of my hair and never give up on them even when they are soooo messy most of the time, but its just the beginning. soo you're kind of a mentor to me 😘 please never stop making videos and know that you are loved from all around the world I'm from a little country called Kosova (you probably never heard of this place 😂) but I follow you all the time on instagram as well as on KZbin. Even though most of the products you use I can't get in here because they don't ship to my country, but I try with what we have and its going great so far.

I NEEDED this!! I recently have started losing more hair than I had been about a year ago. I was getting so worried. I also have not had a cut because of quarantine, so my hair has grown a lot BUT at the same time I have been losing so much more when I shower.

[@yensid4294]

Thinning hair/hair loss can also be a symptom of thyroid disease. Being hypothyroid & menopausal just wreaked havoc with my hair's texture & density until I got on the right medication ( & cut my hair to start over )

[@klaratichakova]

Oh yes, those hormonal changes... I'm pregnant, and the end of the first trimestr was a horror for my hair. Due to the hormonal changes in my body and the baby growing (plus I was iron defficient) it felt like I lost a third of my hair! It was brutal. On the contrary, hitting the second trimestr, I stopped shedding. Like... totally stopped shedding. I lose no more than 50 strands of hair in 7 days. And yes, I know that I can expect another round of hair loss after giving birth. And all of this seems to be normal. What a rollercoaster! I send all the love and luck to my fellow pregnant curlies. 😘

[@mrahzzz]

Ah! I was just going to add to what scientist Mell said! For anyone curious on insight on this, to paraphrase Mama Dr. Jones (OBGYN youtuber): Pregnant people who feel like they're going through either abnormal amounts of hair growth/health and then abnormal amounts of hair loss are experiencing a phenomenon where hair cycles will sync during pregnancy! So abnormal amounts of growth/loss are a result of a larger percentage of your follicles being in the same growth/death cycle at a time! Things un-sync following the end of pregnancy, which is why hair seems to go back to normal! edit: ah, well, should have checked myself - Mell gets into it with telogen effluvium! I wonder if this is what MDJ was talking about, and she just explained it as syncing of follicular phases...

Every time I run my hands lightly through my hair, 3 or 4 hairs come out. Every time. I could do it every 30 minutes and it still happens. Is this normal?

I have a little serum i put together of a few different carrier oils and some essential oil, especially rosemary, that has either helped a small bit or i was moving into the phase where they grow baby hairs....either way I don't care :) in general my hair is still significantly thinner then normal, for me....others think I'm crazy to say it's thin, but I know what my hair felt like and what it feels like now...you know what I mean? And some parts of the bald spots have baby fuzz...so...I'm hopeful. Gotta be hopeful :) but....this was an awesome video to help me maybe understand some of it. I have RA and other autoimmune issues so I know there's a lot going on so not sure if that or several surgeries (including both knees replaced, hysterectomy and elbows, hands to name a few) in a short period of time and things started it or stress (I know it's partly stress) or just getting older...babbling, sorry....but, this gives me hope and more to think about, in a good way....oh man..I'm gonna go cuz i just keep babbling😳 Anyway...thank you...that's all i meant to say...thank you!🥺🥰

Hi ladies. Hormonal shedding during perimenopause is real. I lost about 50% of my hair - fortunately I had a really thick/dense head of hair to begin with. I now have a normal amount of hair compared to other people. I have had some regrowth due to being post menopausal and no longer having all the hormonal fluctuations, but also I started HRT and collagen supplements. I tried biotin - it didn't work for me at all, but collagen seems to have helped a fair bit (having started the collagen and seeing a difference prior to the HRT). Stopping all the heat styling and looking after my hair better has made it shinier/healthier as well. Overall I do have some real regrowth without resorting to minoxidil which would have been my next step. I didn't have visible bald patches, but my hair lost about 50% of the volume of hair from before. I think I have regained another 20% back, so that's exciting. For those who are coping with menopause there has been light at the end of the tunnel re hair loss - at least for me, so don't despair as there are things out there to help. Best wishes.

If you’re concerned, go to your doctor. I went bc my hair was falling out and I found out I was vitamin d deficient and anemic😬

[@Abanchess]

What did you do for your vitamin D deficiency?

[@wakeupandsmellthecoffee1626]

@@Abanchess just took vitamins but always good to follow up with a doc to make sure that's what it is/ that you're taking enough

[@naomyr1553]

LOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU! Thanks for sharing ur knowledge with us😭😭😭 thanks so so so so so much. I finally understood that my hair doesn't need to look perfect to be healthy. ❤❤❤❤

[@tatianazuniga1281]

Thank you for this!.. and YES I would LOVe to see u show the routines to hide the scalp.. I know you said to avoid tight styles.. but the only way I can conceal my scalp is to throw it up in a pineapple.. I'd love to wear my hair down more often but you can see too much scalp and I'm self conscious.. I've had a few people tell me my hair looks so thin on top and its devastating to hear 😭

[@Xxchristy26xX]

Tatiana Zuniga try colored hair sprays that match your hair color on the spots that you feel need it

[@yesyc2700]

Thank you for this video! I feel much better now 😌 also you are so fun to watch!

Oh God oh God oh God I was waiting for someone to upload a video like this. I have been shedding like crazy.

[@veronikawolf4896]

You just saved me. I was so concerned about my shedding lately and I really wanted You to make a vídeo about that topic. Thanks so much!!

[@KC-jr2ty]

So happy for this! I have had such a problem 😕 with shedding and thinning lately! Thank you 😊

[@suzyjennings2738]

I've been (silently) watching your videos for a while now and look forward to Texture Tuesdays. You give so much good advice and are so positive. What I really loved about this video is the care you took for each of us to take care of ourselves, from our food intake to our mental state. This year has been a hard year for many of us and you acknowledge that and I truly appreciate you putting a focus on mental health and for people to have someone to talk to. And through all that, you remind us that we are beautiful. That's something we can all use a little, a lot, more of. So thank you. And all the information that you take to research and give us is great. And I can't forget to give kudos to your seester, Amanda for an amazing job editing this and all your videos. You guys make a fantastic team.

[@danieladlouha2608]

So I freaked out in the shower today, because I lost what seemed like strands of hair compared to the last wash day. Then I remembered I didn't watch this video yet and thank god I did now!!! Turns out I totally forgot the fact I rapidly reduced my hair brushing in the last week or so. Thank you Mel!

[@Missglitzy100]

Lool sometimes I feel like I’m going bald in the shower.. so many clumps 😭

[@AskCoachK]

You look like a beautiful unicorn. Your make up and hairstyle are so cute! Thanks for this informational video, you're the best! ...oh I always watch til the end bc I love your bloopers! 🤣

[@kaleynicholson8149]

As someone who suffers from scalp psoriasis, I just wanna say thank you Mel for this comforting video I truly love you and Amanda and all the content, but THIS felt like it was made for me ❤ thank you seesters.

[@bella_grace4671]

If you dont mind me asking, what do you use for your psoriasis? Mines flaring and driving me nuts!

[@kaleynicholson8149]

@@bella_grace4671 ive been trying different things, but right now I have the T-Sal shampoo and I honestly cant tell if its working or not lol I scheduled an appt to go back to the derm to see what else I can do...its pretty severe and ive lost SO much hair because of it. I'm sorry yours has been flaring up, its awful!

[@bella_grace4671]

Tsal never worked for me but the dr did give me one called tarsum one time that you can apply for up to an hour before you shower and it seemed to help. There was also a liquid to use after that helped A LOT with itching and eventually diminished it but i cant remember the name!! I know it was also the name of a nasal spray 🤷

[@kaleynicholson8149]

Oh wow okay! Interesting I'll have to bring that up at my next appt. U know what's crazy? I used an oil from "the mane choice" and it loosened up a lot of the plaques which was good, but then when I washed my hair chunks of hair were coming out. That was actually my last wash day and im so traumatized to wash my hair now lol

[@bella_grace4671]

Yikes! Thats scary. They told me always be gentle and dont pick at whats stuck bc it causes hair loss. But i remember the names!! Fluticasone was gor my elbows and clobatasol ( no idea how to spell it but you say it klow bate a zol) that and thw tarsum reduced mine by over half in only 3 months

[@AngieTravlos]

I’ve been managing seborrheic dermatitis for 10+ years. During the years the it has been at its worst, my hair has thinned. I’ve only recently made the connection that my scalp health was likely the cause! I’d really appreciate tips on how exactly to nourish and hydrate my scalp. There are so many skin care products and not enough scalp care products.

how is this not trending? someone please tell me

worrying about hair loss, only to lose more from all the worrying. this saved me.

I'm SO excited about this video!

[@LaChickadee11]

I was literally JUST searching about hair regrowth after some hair loss at the very moment this video appeared in my notifications lol. Guess I'm watching this!

[@arayalemonis1577]

I got a bad haircut recently and I have very thick curly hair. The woman cutting my hair said “there is so much hair falling, what’s going on with that?” I told her that I only wash my hair a couple times a week so that’s when I shed the most and I don’t usually take a brush to it the way she did which contributed as well. Then, she commented on it again even though I explained! “Good thing you don’t take heat to your hair since so much of it is falling.” I was wondering why she was trying to make me feel like I had a problem and have felt slightly more paranoid since…
