How I Reversed My Hair Loss// Why I lost It // What I Took And Did

[@tanujashanti2]

Some things that have helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it causes tension breakage. (2) I started massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to shield my hair from pollution. (4) Using gentle shampoo again from liittleextra only to wash my hair.

[@kuldeepddlj2064]

I am using LittleeExtra Cocoonioon shampoo for 5 months now and have gone through 3 bottles so far. Pros: 1. The shampoo feels natural. 2. Hair feels good after wash, especially if you don’t apply any hair oil. 3. Yes, hair fall has significantly decreased over time. 4. Scalp feels clean and it’s effective against dandruff. Cons: 1. It doesn’t lather much, so you may need to use a little more product. 2. When I apply a lot of oil, I find my hair still sticky after the wash, and a little oil can still be felt.

[@charBSI]

I started complement about 3.5 months ago. When I was getting a trim on Friday my hairdresser said I have tons of new hair growth that looks to be about 3 months growth. I’ve been plant based 6 years and had a stressful last year and could really feel the thinning. 🤞hope the regrowth continues.

You are spot on! Rosemary oil has been found to be just as effective as minoxidil in stimulating new hair growth. I will be 64 this year and have noticed not only thinning hair, but the hair follicle miniaurizing to only have baby hair. Between the use of complement supplements, rosemary oil, a caffeine solution to block DHT in the follicle, and scalp massage, my hair is noticeably thicker. There is actual growth of real dark hairs not just baby hair. There is hope!

[@nettierose4915]

Can you explain the caffeine solution that you use : how you make it or where you buy it, how you use it, how much, and how often. Thank you!

[@karenartis4472]

@@nettierose4915 Absolutely. First, there are lots of clinical studies that show that caffeine topically applied does block dht. Anytime I hear someone claiming the next miracle remedy, I go straight to the pubmed database to see if there are studies supporting the use of the product/ingredient. For topically applied caffeine, I use Plantur 39 topical solution in the morning. I use the rosemary oil solution in the evening--a little goes a long way. I can go two days before I need to wash my hair. There are other solutions that contain caffeine, such as ones made by The Ordinary and Hair Biology (sold at Target). There are also studies in pubmed that show scalp massage increases hair thickness. Be consistent . . .hair growth takes time.

@@nettierose4915 Yes, you can purchase it on Amazon. You don't need to dilute it, it's ready to go. I use it in the morning and the rosemary oil solution in the evening.

I had a huge problem with hair loss coming out in handfuls. I tried different shampoos which didn’t help .

[@annegreen1512]

@@alisonmleigh7743 Hi Alison I live in the UK and buy it from a shop called Home Bargains they do several flavours- sorry I can’t think of the word I mean🤣- they all seem to do the job - it’s made by XHC ( Xpel Hair care ) I’ve tried the papaya one and the coconut it’s a shampoo and conditioner like a bar of soap in a box . After washing with this soap I use the tiniest bit of conditioner on the ends of my hair but I honestly think that the stickyness of my previous shampoo and conditioner must have been contributing to the hair loss - perhaps the hair follicles don’t like being clogged up but the changes I have made have worked . It says 97% plant based on the box . I have no medical knowledge but a combination of all the things I am doing has made a huge difference and as I say at the moment I’m not loosing any hair .

For anyone else looking for more possibilities- my hair stopped growing, COMPLETELY, for almost a year. It was falling out and getting fried from wear and tear, but I couldn’t trim it. It was already chin length and not growing… I cut out gluten and my hair started growing again over the first few months. Within a few years I went from having lost about half my hair to having it back, in full. Gluten was definitely irritating my gut. I’m 7+ years gluten free and never looking back! Look for whatever may be disrupting your gut if your thyroid stuff is in check. 🙌

[@Jojow8629]

This is interesting. Recently when I eat gluten my stomach gets swollen and I’m going through painful gas for a few days. Today I passed by a loaf of bread on the counter and I started sneezing uncontrollably. I used to laugh at all the gluten free people because I didn’t think it was a big deal. Boy have I learned it’s real and painful. I lost a lot of hair last year and will be taking out gluten and doing the rosemary application

[@martinsimard3474]

Thank you so much for this important info. Maybe gluten is causing my problem! :)))

[@tracym8394]

I agree! Gluten makes my scalp itchy and my hair noticeably falls out more. After I cut gluten the itching went away and the hair loss lessened.

Before I got covid, I wasn’t losing that much hair. I had healthy natural long hair. I recently had a hair cut last year. I had covid in January and my hair was a mess.

I had a bald spot in the front of my hairline for decades because of hormonal birth control. I finally stopped it 3 years ago and my hair has thankfully grown back! It’s a big side effect of birth control that may not be known.

[@by159w]

Wow. Thank you for this comment Teri! 💝 I have been plant-based since 2014 and at first noticed thicker hair (than I already had)! 2017 I began birth control, because every natural remedy I tried did not lessen my debilitating cramps... While it removed period cramps almost entirely -- I noticed my hair thinning, even though I changed nothing in my diet. Last September I had blood work done and levels were all good, except I had too much iron because I was supplementing! I have changed to recommended shampoos and noticed softer hair but no hair growth. Fast forward to now, since December 2021 I stopped taking birth control pills. Thank God my period cramps haven't come back, I have little to no brain fog, and my hair is thickening up and growing faster! ✨ I believe, like you said, that birth control was causing my hair loss!

Hi Kiki, one tip you may want to try is sleeping on a satin pillow case. I use one and I noticed a huge difference in my hair not feeling dry or hair shedding on the pillow case from friction. The cotton pillow case can cause shedding and breakage from the friction when turning in your sleep. Blessings

Sometimes if you have alopecia from an autoimmune disorder, there’s nothing you can do. I’ve had it for years, get over 100 shots in my head every month to keep it from getting worse. I’m lucky to have very thick hair and alopecia ophiasis (meaning it falls out like a crown around my head) so my hair on top hides it. I’ve lost 50% of my hair though. I’ve tried every autoimmune protocol/ plant based diet and nothing helps. My hair actually stopped growing when I was 100% vegan. So while I’m mainly plant based now, I may have some fish/shrimp and collagen powder. Rarely some cheese. My doctor gave me an omega 3 caplet made from fish. My hair that I do have grows nice now and is healthy. I’ve also found Hask products reduced my fallout in the shower. Currently trying that rice water shampoo bar. I will definitely try this stuff out, I will keep on trying stuff out in hopes it will make a difference. I’ll never give up hope. I’d rather try natural stuff than all the meds they want to pump in me.

the meridians from the organs and different parts of the body go to various areas of the scalp. you should see an acupuncturist-herbalist who is aware of the relationship. Also the different emotions affect different organs, so excess emotion must be kept in check. Pretty much everything in the body can affect the hair, so it's important to identify the meridians and trace which organs and areas of the body are affecting you the most. some of the best foods to consume are the fresh raw green juices. Some fruit juices are good too, but not easy to get like fresh raw pomengranate when in season. if your hair stopped growing when you were vegan, you were not eating the correct foods. When I am eating right, I have more growth in one week than two weeks of wrong eating. I recommend checking out Lou Corona's company and protocol. I just had to share a little because I can't imagine how much time it takes to get 100 shots a month.

Same. I have been diagnosed with LPP and trying to use more natural treatments rather than all of the aggressive medicines they wanted me to try.

My hair has always been so thick and healthy (until recently) and, honestly, it’s always been my best feature, so to lose that would be devastating. I even stopped bleaching my hair about a year ago because I knew that could contribute to hair loss, but that didn’t seem to make a difference.

So many people (mostly women) experiencing hair loss after CV-19. I have also heard that fasting and the Keto diet (too much *fat not enough protein*) can lead to hair loss as well.

I have always had super thick hair, over the last 3 to 4 months my hair has begun to fall out at an alarming rate. My once very fat pony tail is now a little wisp of hair. 😢. I am desperate and found this video while poking around your site. I have been plant based for 1 1/2 years, had Covid about 4 months ago, so not sure what is going on. But I ordered the supplements and will also do the oil treatment. 🤞 here’s hoping! 😊

Hi , can you use any of the shampoo from the brand you recommend , cuz they have one for thinning hair.

[@GigiR247]

The innate beauty shampoo and scalp treatments are my fave for regrowing my hair. They have more products but these are the ones I find useful for me.

ok, bought the supplements, I've been slow to get a good vegan one, so expensive but hopefully good. I've been using Costco biotin multi for years but it's not vegan. Then adding B and C and D, etc. I like the simplicity of one supplement Thank you for inspiring! Erin

Kiki do you take anything for thyroid ? Pharmaceutical wise?

[@plant-basedturneround2631]

Hey Kiki! I know in your first video or second video on hair loss you said it took about 6 months and this one you said it took about 3 months. Did you mean it took 6 months to stop shedding and 3 months to see new growth? Sorry, just trying to clarify what you meant.

[@lindagowin7270]

Curious-why Grapeseed oil? Is there any additional benefit as opposed to any other carrier oil? Thank you for all you do.

[@PlantifulKiki]

ya so my friend from India who has gorgeous hair said that the women use grapeseed oil where she is from to make their scalp treatments because its so good for hair growth, so that's what I use:)

Does anyone know what affect these product could have on colored hair? I’d say my hair is probably 75% gray and it’s not the attractive gray so I get my hair colored about 6-7 times a year.

Did they help?

[@veganwildfire7522]

@jennr6928 I never received them. The shipping date kept getting pushed back. I finally canceled the order. I was, however, introduced to a shampoo that actually did and does work! My neighbor sells it, and it's vegan and actually helped grow about 60% of my hair back. It's called Monat. You have to purchase it from someone, kind of like Mary Kay, I've seen it on Amazon, but I wouldn't trust it.

Can you get the nutrition for the vegetables and fruits ?? Not trying to be that guy😂

[@complemented]

Eat veggies and fruits galore! They are packed with nutrients and micronutrients. We spend our waking hours helping people move towards eating a whole food, and helping people adopt a more plant-based lifestyle. We also know that especially these days, it is essential to ensure these few nutrients of importance are at optimal levels to thrive for the long-term. Not only do these nutrients fill any common nutrient gaps (which can be from poor nutrient absorption within most bodies, lower nutrient-density within our produce because of present day soil biodiversity loss, or simply imperfect nutrition days) by complementing the already incredibly healthy whole food plant based diet, but they also are formulated to complement each other for best absorption when taken. Whole plant foods first, Complement second!

Thanks for sharing! Hair loss is horrible to deal with. I have LPP so mine is permanent. I was just about to pull the trigger on the shampoo/conditioner but this product has Tea Tree Oil and I am highly allergic to it. The same company does make a cream I absolutely love called DERMA E Eczema Relief Cream if anyone is experiencing itching. It's so soothing. I make a mixture of castor oil and coconut oil that also is soothing.

​@@bshows14 I've had it over 10 years but used meds up until 5 years ago. So maybe that's what is different about the prognosis now.

There are lots of good shampoos out there now.
