I developed alopecia areata after taking a new birth control. My hair came out over my entire head! This video focuses on the cluster in my crown. I was able to beat it by focusing on the main thing: My Gut. Supplements I took:
PROBIOTICS
Anti-Fungal (I chose odorless garlic capsules)
Turmeric
Ginger Root
Iron
Hair and Nail Vitamin (I chose The Mane Choice).
Water!!
Exercise
Green Veggies

[@thebrownqueeno1]

Everything you are saying is so true. I have alopecia and I had to change my diet to vegan, no bread, sugar or dairy and take all this supplements you are taking. I have notice a difference lately in my hair.

[@FayeInTheCity]

thebrownqueeno1 I'm going to make an update video this week. I stopped taking them and my hair came out again. But once it started falling out, I started my supplements again. It's all growing back now.

[@thebrownqueeno1]

Faye In The City oh no. I'm so glad I found your youtube channel. You confirmed I was doing the right thing to get my hair back. I pray our hair all come back. I decree we will beat alopecia.

[@Sxybigbaby]

I have to say thank you sooooo much for sharing your story!! I been going through the same thing over 10 years and it all started with birth control. I had already purchased essential oils. So I started your regimen less than two weeks ago and I'm already seeing fine hair growing in my bald spot!! 🙌🏾

[@FayeInTheCity]

That makes me sooooo happy to hear!!!! God is GOOD!!! 🙌 Birth control is a monster but we live and learn! I'm so glad you're seeing results!

[@jasmineshenae6656]

Thank you so much for posting this video! I’ve been suffering with alopecia areata since the age of around 5. My parents and doctors couldn’t figure out how to make it grow and all they did was stick me with needles or give me medicine. I always wore my hair in braids to cover the bald areas. After watching your video you’ve given me new hope in growing my hair out. It’s been about 4 months since I first saw this video and your update video all of your suggestions have worked for me about healing the inside. I still have bald spots on my edges but they have grow in so much. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try to fix my problem and the courage to share my story and journey with others

[@FayeInTheCity]

Girl. I could literally cry. This makes me so happy!!!! Happy growing season to you! 😘

[@Firenaturals]

God bless you! So happy to see you sharing your story. When I began talking about this a few years ago I came on youtube asking for help and I felt like there was silence. Today more of us are speaking about Alopecia and I commend you for sharing all that you've learned. Glad we are talking about his issue because it really eats away at our hearts and scalp. Thanks again for sharing.

[@FayeInTheCity]

Soofyah thank you so much for commenting! It means the world to me!

[@dezerismith7529]

I wish I could give this video 10 thumbs up, thank you and your positivity is golden, you taught me a lesson today, thank you.....

[@FayeInTheCity]

Dezeri Smith much love to you as well! (I'm just now seeing this)

[@justsaying6092]

You've already won. Thank you for helping people to get back on track. Bless you.

[@hadmeeathello3046]

I am so thankful that I came across your video. Thank you for boldly showing and telling your story!!! I have been on a spiral trying to figure out what I can do with the spots that have mushroomed on my head. You have given me hope and inspiration. I know that I am ridiculously stressed and eating and sleeping po o rly. I will be changing what I consume and try to get off of this hamster wheel of blowing dollars on topicals that haven't done anything. You are absolutely what I needed today. Thank you! I am paralyzed with fear and shame. I need to calm down. Thank you!🙇

[@coral.cc0]

Faye I do not have alopecia but I love that you have shared your journey with us. I came here to see your story not expecting this. Also to learn how I can take preventative measures and maybe share with someone else going through it. Now I want to know what BC you was on because I literally have an appointment on Tuesday to get BC. I will have to do some research on the andro something you mentioned and find out what it is and if the BC I’m opting for has it. You are a lovely person and I also want to tell you that seeing your growth and glow up is aspirational. Do not let anyone tell you anything different. ❤️😍💪🏾💃🏽

[@nadapinckney4841]

This is what I needed to hear.... I am so consumed with this issue... it's driving me crazy

[@_jfo_3812]

Faye, thank you for very encouraging words! You have no idea how helpful and enlightening you are. I have had a few episodes in the past and like what you did, I obsessed and tried everything, after a few months it eventually grew back. Then I've had a very stressful year, I found 2 spots in February, one out two completely grew back and the other one is slowly growing. Then, went through a break up in June and now, noticed my hair falling out, I haven't found any new spots yet but I am scared that I will have new ones very soon! It's a constant struggle, it's so good to know that I am not alone. I'm so happy to have found your video. Thank you so much!

[@FayeInTheCity]

_jfo_ thank you for commenting. Stress DEFINITELY will have that hair coming out. I pray for peace for you. 😘

[@cherishdeb]

sis thank you sooo much for sharing and letting God use you. this video brought me so much peace from God. I have had Arm pit length natural hair. been natural 9 years....and after putting my hair in braids last December, when I took them out in February (last month) THE ENTIRE BACK OF MY HAIR had smooth, clean bald spots. I wanted to cry. I WENT THRU THE SAME THING AS YOU. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SHEDDING OR BREAKAGE. the braids were loose and not tight at all when I put them in. I was just confused. the thing is, my mom's hair can grow in but she loses hair quickly and has bald spots. it's horrible. I knew it was partly genetic. I take hairfinity. the hair growth is coming in pretty good. but last night I noticed NEW bald spots. I woke up this morning crying. I looked for some info and videos. yours brought me tremendous peace. I'm not trying to get shots in my head. I know doctors treat the symptoms. they make no money by simply saying, "you need an alkaline or stronger diet." and I feel peace and know God is talking through you. I need to eat healthier. I get it. I will follow your advice. God wants me not to fear. I do feel embarrassed. I wish I would have appreciated my hair and flaunted it when it was longer and fuller. half the time I didn't want to be bothered with it and took it for granted. I was natural for 9 years, so I believed my hair should have been WAIST length, not arm pit length. thank you sooo much. sis If i need your help on my journey may I pls have your email, IG or FB?

[@FayeInTheCity]

cherishdeb I truly understand. Absolutely, stay in touch. My IG is @iammissfaye. Drop a DM Anytime.

[@shamikamatos2656]

It is absolutely amazing to see your growth in your confidence in front of the camera. I am so blessed to have stumbled upon your channel and you have not posted a single video that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. You have worked hard for your following and deserve all the blessings!!!!

[@taylorcox9935]

[@Memphisgirl-jk5tq]

taylor cox You are so brave. Alopecia is so heart wrenching. I’ve had constant hair fall since I was a teenager. I’m praying for sunshine to come your way. Be encouraged.

[@hdr.5128]

Pumpkin oil part made me laugh with tears lol, and thanks for sharing your experience, I got the problem for like 8 months, I will definitely try your method!

This is such a good video sis! I'm going to start- stop worrying about and obsessing about my hair. Thank you!

[@celestialtay]

God Bless you Faye. So happy I came across your Channel. Been binge watching for a straight week now 💕.

[@goddessnoir290]

I'm so proud of you. I had to make peace with mine. It pained me to cut my beautiful 'fro. The shots and Rogaine didn't work. After that I just made it comfortable to have short hair. It seems to be in remission now.

[@turningyourpainintopower]

Thanks for sharing your experience and providing the tools for transformation!!!

[@Tweet-oj5ji]

Hello, I started watching you last year and had no clue about this video u til u mentioned it in ur new video. I put a relaxer 2 years ago and my hair fell in the middle from the scalp. Went to the dermatologist and she said it was tension alopecia from braids. I tried to tell her I never braid my hair but she insisted that’s what it was. I was devastated because I never experienced hair loss before. Now I’ve been natural for over a year and my hair in the middle surrounding the bald spot is breaking off and my hair line is thinning really bad. I still don’t put braids and I don’t wear ponytails. My hair is always in a wash n go. I will try everything you said in this video, but how should I keep my hair as a protective style. I truly believe God blesses you with the knowledge you shared and I know I will be healed in Jesus Name. Thank you for sharing! I love everything about you. You have so much wisdom. Thankful I found you!

[@FayeInTheCity]

I would say if you aren’t comfortable with wearing wigs, definitely stick to the wash and go if it’s working for you. I know the stress that comes with hair loss so I sincerely pray for good results for you!

[@Tweet-oj5ji]

Awe thank you for responding and thank you for praying for me. I’m grateful. God bless you for all you do! Have a great week!

[@whitnessn]

Omg thank you so much! I just found a spot that looks just like yours in my head. I'm also newly pescatarian. I was so down all day today but your video just have me so much life! Thank you!

[@FayeInTheCity]

Whitface 😘😘

[@Kalia777]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU...Your words of wisdom have resonated so deeply with me today. I for the longest would stress about my alopecia. Recently I like you decided to embrace it and take my power back from it. I'm daily exercising, eating better as well as being more attentive to my scalp and hair. Which probiotics did you take? Did you take garlic supplements? Please keep us updated on your progress. Thanks Again😊💜

[@FayeInTheCity]

Kalia1 thank you for your kindness. My favorite probiotics are sold locally and aren't sold online due to required refrigeration. I do recommend the Dr. Mercola brand. I take those as well. And yes, I took a odorless garlic capsule. I saw great results. I'll post another update soon to let you know how my journey is going. 😘

[@niruskitchen9125]

I'll come back here and will comment again after I complete my fight against this shit . Pray for me that the day comes when I free from this disease. :)

[@FayeInTheCity]

I surely will! 🙏🏾

[@Playbwoii1]

I'm 21 years old, and already had to quit my job because of my alopecia. I've tried every vitamin, every steroid cream, been to the doctors 100 times and all they say is "you have to change your mindset" it's very easy to say that, I've suffered with depression and anxiety my whole life having alopecia has just ruined my life and all my progress. Will this ever go? Or will I live my nightmare forever😭

[@briaunalafrance9731]

can you explain about the probiotics and tumeric. When you talk about garlic, are you talking about a garlic pill?

[@neeantoinette1048]

Thank you so much for this video. I am in the same predicament... And your right. It's My health.... internally.. thank you so much. I just did the big chop last week. I am not balding YET..but my hair is incredibly THIN in the middle of my hair and I am losing my hair rapidly. Thank you for every word.

[@contessasmith9602]

Thanks for sharing I noticed small patches early this month. going to the doctor in a couple of weeks.

[@DaveThundercloud]

Ms lady You not alone i probably spent $2,000.00 on hair to cure my bald spot...and still fighting it!🤑👎🏿😔 Sista girl I be hitting them smoothys everyday....hope they work.

[@itpro4830]

Preach the truth baby girl!

[@helpmetosleep]

Yes, thank you! I am getting stressed and that's like last thing I need. My doc said "aging" - aging! I need help. Going to try and see dermatologist. At least doc ordered thyroid and iron/ferritin. I'm with you, gut health is everything. Have really come a long way (gut-wise) but something must be missing & I don't want to let loss drive me crazy either. I ordered Restore and my go to has also been: www.shopmyplexus.com/christinalowther Edit to say first time here, I really hope you have more content! Subbed. I think I love you, haha. Seriously, just the encouragement I needed, especially about prayer and not letting this consume me!

[@muzakcritiq]

Thank you for this Sis💞💞💞 #2020 #foreverrelevant

[@lisasmita5379]

You had me cracking up. So true!!!

[@Candy_lady1972]

I am so glad i came across this video did you say fresh garlic and ginger tea

[@FayeInTheCity]

April Williams I take both in pill form. My taste buds hate fresh/tea so pill is easier lol

[@motivated2010]

Amazing information; thank you

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

The braids will cause a lot of tension on your hair follicle and scalp. The braids will cause traction alopecia .

[@FayeInTheCity]

I only get braids from those who handle my hair gently. I’ve never experienced traction alopecia

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

@@FayeInTheCity Ok, have a wonderful rest of your day.

[@babygirl5064]

You and me both....I'm glad I saw this

[@Maeshia]

I'm so happy for you. Quick questions if you don't mind. How do you use and prepare the tumeric and ginger root? Does it make you loose weight and if so, I'm already a size seven and scared to lose the little I have, lol. I'm trying to gain a few. I'm not the healthiest eater, but willing to try anything at this point to help with my alopecia. Can you please share any info as to what I need to do and purchase?

[@FayeInTheCity]

shymaeshia Jordan hey! I took them all in pill form. I didn’t have to prepare anything. And the pills didn’t make me lose weight (though I wish they did lol). I lost weight when I changed my eating, though. I had a flare up a year after this because I stopped taking everything. I narrowed down my regimen. Pumpkin seed oil, turmeric and probiotics are a MUST. And I got tired of paying for those HIGH priced hair and nail pills so I switched to a one-a-day vitamin that had biotin in it. That’s all to take care of your inside. On the outside, deep condition EVERY week, use protective, low manipulation styles and apply pumpkin seed oil to your scalp. If you are taking them in capsule form, take a pin and poke a hole in a capsule and massage the oil into your scalp. Whenever I run out of probiotics, I don’t let more than a month go by without some. I take probiotics, turmeric and my daily vitamin daily (once I recovered, I didn’t need to keep taking the pumpkin seed oil)

[@tiffanybest1956]

Thanks for sharing! Did you mix the turmeric with anything?

[@FayeInTheCity]

Tiffany Best hey! I took it in pill form

[@tiffanybest1956]

Faye In The City thanks! Is there one in particular you recommend?

[@FayeInTheCity]

Tiffany Best nope! I've used different brands and I saw results with each bottle. Just make sure you get it from a good source so it's the real thing

[@tohidbfd7666]

What about the rest of your diet? Were u strict with it like the aip diet ?

[@cortheniabolin7363]

How much of the pumpkin seed oil did you take?

[@K8rine_P]

were you on the AIP diet, or you were just eating more veggies and fruit among everything else?

[@FayeInTheCity]

Just more fruits and veggies. I tried AIP but I honestly couldn't stick to it. So more fruits and veggies and I the only meat I ate was seafood

[@K8rine_P]

Thank you, you are so inspiring. And I'm here, staring at youtube for hours with more than 50% of my hair gone. I hope that this will finally help me.

[@FayeInTheCity]

+K8rine I understand! It's scary! Stay in touch. Let me know how the probiotics and things work for you

[@carmeleonpouncey]

K8rine how it's going for you

[@mswtaz94]

😢😢😊. I am so glad I found this video thank you.

[@phillipedwards2500]

What vitamins did u take? What did u put in your green smoothies

[@carmeleonpouncey]

Hello can you please give me the brands of everything you imma start my journey

[@FayeInTheCity]

Carmeleon Pouncey I sure will. The iron and odorless garlic were drug store brand (Walgreens). The turmeric and ginger were finest nutrition. The probiotics-I go back and forth between "Probiotic Select" (I promise, they are BOMB) by alpine sports products or Dr. Mercola Probiotics. Alpine is a little stronger and must stay refrigerated. The others don't have to. I also recommend pumpkin seed oil. I take the Now brand.

[@carmeleonpouncey]

Faye In The City do I take everything everyday

[@FayeInTheCity]

Carmeleon Pouncey in the beginning, yes. I took it everyday for about 2 or 3 months. Now I'm down to taking only a probiotic everyday. I take turmeric and iron but not daily. Once you see results, you can taper down on everything.

[@carmeleonpouncey]

Faye In The City I have spend thousands have every oil you can think of few months ago I learned exactly what you are saying it's inner so ordering stuff off amazon tonight and will try to find healthy was to eat

[@FayeInTheCity]

Carmeleon Pouncey I soooo understand and I wish you well! I bought every oil anyone on KZbin mentioned would grow my hair so I so understand! Keep in touch!
