My dermatologist suggested I forget all the potions that may or may not work and just use minoxidil and red-light. Best decision I ever made and it's only $26 for a 6-month supply. Used the minoxidil for a year and the results were phenomenal. Added red-light and got even more. It's changed my life.
Did you buy a red light cap or get treatments with your derm?
Where did you get the minoxidil? Only ones I can find are around 50€ per 3 month treatment
@@marileen._. I bought the iRestore 👍
@@Alex-bc3bz My derm suggested the Kirkland brand from Costco. You don't have to be a Costco member or have a card. It's in liquid form (dropper style) at 5% strength. They don't sell the liquid version in stores (only the foam) and I use it once a day every night. It's $17.99 for 6 bottles 👍I began seeing baby hairs after about 3 months. I'm 56 and knew I'd lose my hair one day since my dad lost his in his 20's and my mother lost most of hers after menopause. If you stop using it permanently then your hair will go back to where it would've been had you never used it. I do occasionally skip a day here and there with no problem. But I see it as an extention of my skincare which I do every night, too. Best decision I ever made and I don't care if I have to use it forever to keep these results. 🤷🏻♀️ WORTH IT!
That’s great to hear! My hair Derm told me the exact same thing. Forget the serums and stuff and use %5 minoxidil. I just upgraded my irestore to the professional one that’s in the video. Excited to see how the irestore and minoxidil work together
I'd been losing hair day by day. My barber recommended me to use this reactivate hair growth serum by littlexetra and received it around 2 weeks ago and using it after receiving it. I had doubts that whether it will work or not but it worked. It reduced my hair fall and I grew new tiny hairs from it. I am using it as per the description every day and I feel within the next month or 2, I will see many more hairs.

Cassandra I love your fun, sweet, caring personality! You made me smile and I needed to hear positive things today as I experience my aging hair and skin problems. Thank you for sharing your hair journey 💕
Taking Saw Palmetto has helped my hair loss, it blocks the dht and also stops unwanted facial hair. Stress causes imbalances in hormones, cut out the toxic people in your lives btw
I would say so too. I loss a lot of hair due to toxic people.
I will try saw palmetto, thanks! I agree, I can see new growth after getting rid of a toxic person in my life, it was the same 6 years ago. No coincidence. I’m an empath, so attract them. Lesson learnt. I have met so many other females in narcissistic victim support groups who had also experienced hair loss.
Just as a heads up, there are a lot of things that affect iron absorption! Including tea. As long as there’s a 2 hour window between consumption of your coffee and iron supplement/iron rich foods, it won’t interfere with absorption. Hoping this will help because I also love my coffee (and am prone to having low iron levels)
Magnesium interferes with iron absorption as well.
Gluten interfered with mine. That’s how I found out I couldn’t tolerate gluten anymore at 50yo. I was sooo deficient in iron and Zinc they thought I had Arsenic poisoning ( because of my job at the wastewater treatment plant). Gluten inflamed by body so much that I wasn’t absorbing anything. My hair was falling out in clumps. So food allergies will try to kill you. I also passed out behind the wheel and an caused accident. Thank god alls well that ends well. Check for allergies is the summery.
dairy does as well!!
Does this include decaffeinated teas or all teas? @rachelzip3144
Also if u guys take heme iron pills, it's not affected by coffee at all, so u can really take them together. I switched to heme cause I'm also a coffee drinker lol, and best decision of my life. Only thing that affects it is calcium greater than 300mg:)
Thank you for making this video because I have been dealing with hair loss for the first time and have been very stressed about it!
I experienced massive hair loss during menopause. I use Pacifica's Rosemary Purify line along with essential oil of peppermint and rosemary applied at night prior to a hair wash day. I typically wash my hair 3x's per week. I added a deep conditioning mask 1x per week to strengthen my mids and ends. My hair has improved and I have experienced re-growth.
I'm so happy for you Cassandra. My mom is experiencing hair loss in her 70's. It's hard to see her struggling with hair loss. She doesn't try alot of crazy treatments, she isn't interested. I believe black women experience hair loss from doing crazy stuff to their hair. We do alot. I hear heat destroys your hair, but that's for another conversation.
Wrong! Hair and hair follicles are two different things!!!!! You can bleach and damaged your hair all your life, and it won't affect your hair follicle! Hair follicle is only impacted by internal stuff like hormones, stress etc!
@@leanture3685 ummm... rude. FYI, pulling the hair into tight hair styles like buns and braids does, in fact, damage the hair and hair follicles, making hair fall out and growth slow down and stop all together over time.
So true! My daughter wanted extensions when she was a teen. They pulled her hair so tight, the skin at her nape was being pulled up. Awful. It did help convince her to go for sisterlocks, like I kept suggesting. She's going on 40 now and has long, gorgeous, natural locks. Eff the white media for telling black women they can't go natural and be beautiful.
There are always testimony when you take DR RORPOPOR ON UA-cam natural remedies 😊 give it a chance and testify.......🎉
I don't believe blow drying your hair is bad. When I went "natural" my hair at first it was amazing my curls where healthy beautiful...then my hair started looking dry it would frizz then the shedding started and now I've lost my curl pattern 😢. I'm going to go back to just straightening my hair.
I love watching your channel and it has helped me big time to have a UA-camr I follow who I trust
When I experienced hair fall, I did all these to successfully reduce it:
Incorporate scalp massage into your routine.
Avoid hot water when rinsing your hair.
Shield your hair from excessive sweat.
Use a dual tooth neem wood comb to brush out wet hair.
Reduce your sugar and processed food consumption.
Use gentle hairfall control shampoo and oil like littleeextra cocconion.
Maintain a positive mindset for general well-being.
Following pregnancy, I noticed my hair fall but I stayed calm. I took action to to control it. I opted for a health-centered approach.
I took care of my diet, having vitamin-packed foods, especially those high in Vitamin E and Protein.
I worked out regularly and practiced yoga for stress management.
I just stayed away from styles that pull on my hair and stopped using heated styling tools to minimise hair stress.
I also started using LittleExtra's Coconion shampoo and hair oil along with a wooden neem comb.
The outcome was hairfall control and the return of my hair.
Well done, Sister! 👏🏼
Good for you 😊.
Just a quick question if you don't mind.....
How often do you wash your hair? And do you use masks, oils etc? Thank you 😊
Hair loss after pregnancy is completely normal bcz due to the hormonal differences of the mother during pregnancy, hair loss becomes far less. After giving birth as the hormones of the mother go back to normal, the hair loss will be noticeable. Plus, since there was several long months with no hair fall, once it begins again, it looks quite extreme. However most of the time, once hormones return to normal, so does the normal hair fall.
So glad to hear your hair is returning! I was just doing some reading about alternative pain relief, specifically Succinic acid. I got off topic a bit when they started discussing benefits for acne treatment and hair regrowth and thickness. This statement "Succinic acid has antioxidant and regenerating properties, thickens the hair shaft from the inside, improving its appearance. It activates hair growth, has a beneficial effect on the scalp, improving metabolic processes in cells." had me remembering your video that I viewed a few hours ago. There were also comments that it has long been used in facial products because it is gentle on the skin, more so than salicylic acid and can help balance oil production. I have seen your videos about your journey with both hair and skin issues and wondered what you think of this? I did see that the Inkey list had acne products labeled as Succinic acid. What do you think of this acid for hair and/or skin? Have you already tried it in one or more of your red zone products? Have you decided not to try it for reasons I might not be aware of? Thanks for the videos! Good luck with your product trials!
LOVE THAT THIS IS WORKING FOR YOU! I’ve been subscribed for a couple of weeks and have watched a lot of your videos, and I love that you use reliable resources and isolate variables to permit a real, evidence based conversation.
Could you do a video on dandruff? I have struggled with an itchy scalp for YEARS. In the last 2 years I finally stopped washing my hair daily and go about every 4 days now, and I will say I want to be able to go longer but by day 3 my whole scalp is burning. I have tried multiple pyrithione zinc products and I have felt they may ease my symptoms (though not for even a full day), but they weren’t helping my actual condition. I have noticed that dove dry scalp therapy mist has been helpful, but still not an end all. Would love to hear what to know!
Girl can't catch a break but glad your trying something that seems to be working. Definitely give them feed back of extending the product further back to reach the back of the scalp.
One thing that I've noticed that makes the biggest difference is on wash days I was my hair upside down, I've been doing it for years and I never noticed how well it worked with hair growth until recently. Back in June 2022, I cut my hair a good inch or so above my shoulders and as of today my hair is about 4 inches below my shoulders!! I take a good 3/5 minutes and just gently massage my head while washing, and then I gently rise both shampoo and my conditioner upside down too!! It's made the biggest difference for growth and I never really noticed until today
I've been suffering hair fall due to hiv (either the medicines, the disease itself or the stress it gave me) and Ill definitely consider these options ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that :(
Try Rosemary oil or Rosemary water. It works wonders and gives fast results. I'm on cancer medication that was thinning my hair. No more thinning🙌 I saw results in the first week!
Hi Cassandra. I believe Biotin works in growing existing hair only. Whenever I stop using Biotin, I notice that my nails and hair don't grow as quickly. But when I resume using Biotin, my hair and nails grow superfast. They grow so fast that I need to have my hair trimmed more often and need to file my nails back every other day rather than just once a week. But I never see new growth of hair that I didn't already have.
I like your channel a lot. You don't sugarcoat things and you keep it real with facts/ experience. Keep it cool :)
Love love Love that you add the prices and pictures of the products
I'm proud of you Cassandra! I'm trying to grow up my hair too. The otdinary peptide actually woked for me
For me as well. I'm already at my second bottle.
Same same. I am using my 4th bottle. I apply the serum to my scalp after hair wash. I don’t find it greasy at all. I wash my hair every 4-5 days and have been happy with the results.
omg same! i love the ordinary peptide serum! im on my 2nd bottle, and once i started using it I noticed significantly less hair shedding when I wash and detangle my hair. In between bottles I actually stopped for 2 weeks till I got a chance to buy another bottle, and noticed increased hair shedding during those wash days that I didn't use it! it definitely works for decreasing shedding!
Would anyone who tried The ordinary peptide know if it helps with premature greying also?
@@luckshmee I imagine it would. The mechanisms that cause loss of pigment in the hair growth cycle are the same as those that (eventually) cause the hair to fall out. I hear copper is also important in creating the natural pigment that forms hair color, so I am thinking their Buffet + Copper peptites formulation might also help with this, as well as increasing copper in the diet. Some copper rich foods are sweet potato, shellfish (like shrimp and clams) and dark chocolate.
Peppermint oil absolutely works with a few caveats….
1) make sure it’s a 3% dilution I like to use grapeseed oil or jojoba
2) It should stay on your head for approximately 8 to 12 hours so put it in the morning wear your hair up or in a bun and wash that night or sleep overnight with a scarf in your head
3) Massage the scalp preferably with that silicon scalp massager before and after application
I have more growth around my hair line and less breakage.
The only other thing that has really thickened my hair and shown a big difference is Nioxin Density Rescue. My hair looks like a wig it’s so thick!
I use the peppermint oil and the jojoba also but also mix it with coconut and I can feel it as I'm sure you can too
Can I use this with castor oil??
@@SOLOTUYA too thick but if you want to put some it wouldn’t hurt. Just mostly a thinner oil that you could “cut” with a tsp of castor
Did you use the serum or night rescue
Your hair looks so beautiful with your natural curls x
You're so honest with your reviews and experience with products. I love youuuuu and thank you so much
Thanks for making the video where you collaborated with Mell and did the hair styling routine together! That really helped me today to style my fine curly long hair! I have a diffuser but it's never worked to dry my hair until I added a spaghetti colander!✨✋ I think I'll use it every time 💛
It's actually INSANE how much taking care of my scalp over the last year and half has changed my hair. I oiled and massaged my scalp pre-wash, used scalp exfoliant for a few months, and then simplified my whole hair routine a la Blowout Professor
I switched to Redken acidic bond series, the TINY BOTTLES lasted me 6 months and I wash 2* every 4 days.
My hair is long, healthy and I got a ton of new growth- my hairline filled in after years of mild balding
Lowering stress levels also makes a huge difference, and takes like 3+ months to see effects.
Blow out professor doesn't rate the shampoo and conditioner though only the treatment. He likes the Redken volume but so many people say Redken is drying and highly scented. Good it worked for you. I don't know where to start. Do you use the pureology as well cos I found that stuff awful and drying.
I received a couple of LaseMd treatments with synthetic prp and with take home kerafactor. The instructions on the kerafactor also suggests red-light therapy in conjunction. Might try this in combo with your red-light cap!🥰
Where did you get Synthetic prp from?
@@mizfizwiz the treatment is called keralase. It was the synthetic prp made to go with the system. I believe it is a kerafactor product as well.
As someone who’s losing their hair, I’m really thankful for these updates. But I think it would be more useful if you mentioned the cause of your Hairloss as different methods work for particular Hairloss.
Totally agree with you, not enough talk on cause. From my experience, the cause for hair thinning is inflammation, even if the greater cause is hormones, DHT, vitamin lacking or others. So to reduce inflammation on the scalp, I personally do the following: Scalp massage (or anything that will increase circulation in the scalp) for at least 10 minutes to 30 minutes everyday, then to cover localized inflammation I use the Taoist Soap for Hair, It's designed to stop inflammation whatever it touches (don't have to use it everyday tho), and then to cover amino acid requirement I take collagen 2 times a day, 2 tablespoons. I already commented about this above on the main comment section, but thought id repeat it as may help you. Its alwasy the combination this regime that has helped me and my family most in helping keep hair thicker, and recover lost hair (for me). Women in the family get results with this faster weirdly.
After chemo treatment for 6 months, my hair grew back but my hairline had receded on both sides of my temple. My hairdresser told me about this amazing product which I have been using for about 3 weeks and already my hair is growing back really well. The shampoo and conditioner definitely has peppermint in it (tingles a bit), and after rinsing out, I used the serum which s is a “stay in” serum. My hair started growing back after 1 week of using it. I only washed my hair twice a week and had used the serum every day on dry hairline for the first week. I’m so happy with it. Also I checked with my oncologist before using it and she told me it won’t affect my tablets I’m on for my after chemo treatment pills 😀
What are the products you used?
@@itsacarolbthing5221 taoist soap, just google them they ship everywhere. but you should still do a regime, like mentioned.
@@evaadams8298 what’s the serum?
For me I have used the scalp messager for 3ish years now and have noticed how clean my scalp gets which always helps with hair growth! I have also always used my Haitian black castor oil in my hair masks and it was amazing for my hair!
Overall I think always having a healthy and clean scalp makes ALL the difference:)
The plastic one?
The biotin shampoo from Tree to Tub helped me with hair regrowth after having covid. I also had those baby hairs but mine is longer now. Also, that scalp massager looks so relaxing I'm off to find one for myself, thanks 🤗
Hi Cassandra. I watch you all the time. I have learned so much and find you completely entertaining and highly informative!! Keep up the good work!
Hey gf! I just want to tell you that I’m obsessed with your channel and you. Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge and also I watched your video talking about your health and stuff and I just wanna say that I relate in some of the ways. I give you so many props for having such a great attitude and being so funny and witty and caring even when things might be piling onto your mind, stay beautiful!!!! ❤
I got the massagey doohickey on Prime day too! Yay! It does feel sooo good!!! And thank you for your openness and honesty about your personal struggle. So many of us, women and men alike, go through the same thing. Sure, I know that men don’t go through the same things as women. And, I often feel that women get hit extra hard because of biology and certain societal expectations, but I in no way not respect that men have their own biology and societal expectation issues that they struggle with as well. Again, thanks for sharing what has and has not worked for you.
Your makeup, hair, outfit and everything looks so good in this video!
You're So sweet! Thank you for the love!
The timing is impeccable!!
I find that The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum worked well for me. My hair line definitely looks fuller. It takes time and consistency, but I think it is effective. I do agree that it can make your hair oily, so I use it the night before I wash my hair.
Same, exactly! I don’t use it before being seen by the public because it does make you look kinda greasy, but using it a few times a week has dramatically reversed my hair loss (and my mom’s, and a few friends’ too). I’d still suggest people try it out given how reasonably priced it is and how effective it has been for many.
It works for me too. It's not a miracle, but with consistent use it significantly lessens my hair fall. I use it on my scalp, eyebrows and (carefully with a q-tip) on my lashes as well. I think it can be difficult to realize it's working because the results take time, but if you stop using it.... you'll realize it was definitely working! I did also try the lash and brow serum from The Ordinary, but after about 3 months I realized that most of my new brow and lash growth had fallen out, so I went back to the regular hair growth serum, and they grew back again.
Same BUT I had minimal loss so it could def be that because my sis has major loss and didn’t see any difference
How long did you take it before seeing results approximately?
@@delldell8993 I honestly couldn’t tell you because I was not consistent. I just slowly started realizing that my hairline looked fuller.
I’m happy for you new hair growth! I actually have noticed your hairline the last few videos you’ve posted. I have personally struggled myself with hair loss.
I have the irestore helmet and I would do two sessions. One on top of my head and then pull all my hair up on top of my head and place the helmet on the back of my head.
AHH U NOTICED ME I could cry lols 🥹🥹 But really thank you so much for sharing your own experience and for being here!
Learning how to manage my naturally wavy hair has really helped disguise my hair loss. It just looks fuller that way.
I am loving the dove hair therapy line! It has made my hair so soft and I am seeing less breakage
I do not recommend silicone scalp massagers if you have a compromised scalp! Particularly in the shower. I was diagnosed with seb derm 2 years ago and thought the scrubber would help me get a better clean in the shower, but I'm sure now that it was contributing to shedding when washing. Just my experience!
So proud of you, girl! I definitely noticed the growing lusciousness on the hairline! Keep up the great research and content!!
Yeah, I have a red-light mask which really helps my acne, and I'm happy to hear it might be helping my hair grow because I lost some hair during my last pregnacy :(
I use The Ordinary salisylic acid treatment since I am prone to eczema outbreaks and dry scalp. It also helps with oily scalp! I also use a shampoo brush in the shower but I also use a shower comb to detangle my hair while the conditioner is still on before I rinse it out. This keeps me from pulling at my hair with a brush when I get out of the shower, preventing hair from coming out. I was using Inkey List serum you showed and I feel like it got the process going but it was making my highlights very brassy and drying me hair out. But now with my current routine my hair is growing back so successfully! I was vegan for three years and had a ton of hair loss from it so I’m happy it’s finally coming back.
as someone with pcos, ive been patiently waiting for this for this video to compare it with my treatments and see what your recommendations would be. :)
Don't listen to a word in this video dude. She didn't even mention minoxidil! 🙄 minoxidil and spironolactone are the mvps for hormonal hair loss. Get your thyroid levels checked if you can and haven't already. All this shit she's promoting here is straight up snake oil.
I am another curly haired girl. My hair started thining when I was around 40. I tried all sorts of serums (including The Ordinary and Watermans), I started using Function of Beauty shampoo and conditioner with Lavender around a year ago (when I turned 50) and my hair is thicker, not extreme effects, but definetly thicker. Don't know if this product is the cause, but it is better. Having thin and/or fine curly hair is really difficult to cope with, but there are things that can help.
Damn mine started this year at the age of 23
For anyone that purchases the Irestore helmet, please be aware that the 12 month money back guarantee has some pretty specific rules to it, and there is a restocking fee so you do not get all your money back if the product does not work for you
I’ve been following you for years. And your channel is always so helpful and NECESSARY 😂 THANK YOU!!!
I love love your natural curly hair, really suits you. ❤
I have been microneedling my hairline including the lower areas at the back as I have patches when I tie my hair up too. It has made a difference. I use my LED panel front, sides and back of head. I take hydrolysed collagen. In all I have seen results in the last 8 - 12 months doing all of this ❤
Hi Cassandra, I was watching your video yesterday and I notice how good your hair looked! I was hoping for an update on your hair. I never Clicked so fast! Thank you for your honesty and explaining the science behind it. I just recently bought the irestore this past Black Friday and I’ve been using it every other day. Dr. Dray sold me on that too.
I’ve been experiencing hair loss/thinning but recent notice in October of this yr it was more than usual. Did some research tried vegamour (that didn’t work for me it irritated my scalp). Made an appointment with my dermatologist but had to wait a month for an appointment. I became depressed because my hair is like my identity. I made an appointment to see my physician because I was just so upset about my hair and other medical issues that I wanted to go on depression medication and get lab work done.
The day before my appointment with my physician I came across Covid hair loss. I have heard that people had that but didn’t pay it much attention. But the day before my appointment I looked into. And basically everything I was experiencing was identical to the hair loss from Covid AKA telogen effluvium. I felt so relieved that I had figured out what was going on. That my hair would comeback and that it wasn’t hair loss it was just my hair shedding. I went into that appointment in hopes she would send me for blood work to make sure my labs were good. I explained to her about the Covid hair loss she instantly shut me down and said that “we don’t have enough information” she didn’t hear me out at all. It was extremely disappointing. I asked for blood work to check my iron and vitamin D… she told me vitamin D has nothing to do with hair loss. I went for blood work and she didn’t even check my iron or vitamin D like I asked. She checked testosterone, WBC, RBC… I am currently looking for a new physician. She rushed me out of the office.
I went to the dermatologist and she herself was experiencing TE from Covid. She understood. She checked my iron and vitamin D. My iron was low and my vitamin was extremely low. I’ve learned to advocate for myself and speak up.
I am not sure if irestore will help me with TE but I do have new hair growing. Dr. Dray doesn’t have hair loss but she does say that it makes her ponytail thicker. I figured it will strengthen my hair and won’t hurt it. I’m also taking supplements for iron and Vitamin D.
Vitamin D supplements helped my nails grow longer than ever before and I suspect we’re helping my hair as well…I haven’t been taking them lately maybe that’s why I’m losing my hair again…
How much was the iRestore for the Black Friday sale?
@Ang heyyyy, definitely would get a second opinion. Update: I’ve been using irestore consistently every other day since Dec 2022. In addition, I’ve been consistently taking vitamin D and Iron. My hair is growing back very quickly. So much so my dermatologist is very impressed and was asking me about the irestore (not sure if she will get one for herself or recommend for future pts.) she said my hair is way ahead of where most people who experienced TE. Which was so relieving to hear. Definitely, advocate for yourself. This is your health. You know your body. Good luck with your hair journey.
@@christinerainey7003 consistency is key. It’s really helping me with my hair along with iron supplements and irestore.

Thank you for doing this video! Covid and health conditions have ruined my hair and I've been on a major journey of hair loss and being a veggie as well it's difficult. The ordinary peptides didn't do anything for me either. Keep us updated on your finds.
Covid did a number on me as well. My hair stands became so crazy thin plus I lost a lot of hair as well. I never had this issue before f'ing Covid. I also have diminished subcutaneous fat in my face and skull. Crazy!
Wait just a second! The Nuderma high-frequency wand with neon REALLY helped me with my hair loss! I used it with a biotin caffeine peppermint rosemary oil and let me tell you! I lost honestly 3 hair when I washed my hair as compared to the huge gobs I was losing without it. I believe it has to do with the blood circulation in your scalp and follicles holding on to those hairs and not letting go when I would wash my hair. I did this right before jumping into the shower and the hair loss amount was astounding!! I use it every time I wash my hair. When I use it, I only use it on my scalp, not the lengths and I am about to go wash, so it doesn't matter if it gets frizzy! I won't be without it!
You are correct. I make a similar mix myself
@Holly G Hey! Cool! And you are a curly too! I am watching your saved video about broccoli sprouts. I follow Dr. BERG on UA-cam, I take a few of his supplements and I drink his WHEATGRASS SUPERFOOD daily, and let me tell you, I see a difference in myself! I have several health issues, including RA, Lupus, and severe bone loss. Check him out, you won't be sorry. Take care! 💜
@@adonissgirl8545 Do you do the AIP? Life changing along with scalp oils/etc for me....if you see this then I will keep adding info
I loveeee the humour in your videos and you look so pretty with your curly hair
Rosemary oil is also nice for hair growth! Mielle has a Rosemary peppermint hair oil that’s already pre-diluted with carrier oils. And it’s fairly affordable 😊
Does it work?
@@niellalien It works well for me! I find that it’s thickened the hair near my temples and the front of my hairline.
I’m seeing great results with rosemary oil, I have a lot of new baby hairs. My natural hair is very thin and brown and these new guys are black and thick.
Keep in mind that if you have high blood pressure , AVOID rosemary. It can raise your BP higher. Be safe!
Please be cautious if you have pets, Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats! To the point to which a drop on their skin or repeated exposure to a pillowcase can kill them 😢
Thank you for all your thorough testing and reviewing! Scalp massaging, biotin and tea tree based hair serum has gotten me decent results. I also got my blood work done and discovered a liver issue way earlier than it would have normally been detected! Sadly, I can't get the iRestore helmet financially nor internationally. So massaging it is 🤷🏻♀️
Temo has the exact same helmet for $34.99.
I'm so surprised the ordinary hair peptides didn't work for you! I've seen so much evident growth in my baby hairs from that one. I'm glad you found other stuff that works though!
Do you know if the ordinary will help with covid hair loss? I've been on this hair loss battle for 1 yr now.
Plz tell me does it cause itchy scalp and hairfall initially and fandruff
Wow! Great, awesome, fantastically helpful information! Thank you!
Love your videos! Please do more videos like this with your favorite things, love finding new feminine girly items/ brands 💕
I also use Blood Builder! It's the only iron supplement that doesn't cause me to get severely constipated. I get super anemic thanks to my super heavy periods.
A few things!
1) what hairbrush did you start using? I may be blind and have missed it in the description.
2) I struggled with hair loss this last year, I think triggered by stress from a personal tragedy. One thing my dermatologist recommended was Nutrofol. Just to add to the list of things to look into that might help someone :) I didn't track results enough to know how effective or not it was for me. I'm fortunate and in the last few months, it seems the loss has finally stopped and growth is coming in again.
You are a very funny and bubbly girl. You are right there is a difference. Your hair is growing back, so just keep doing what your doing. Thanks for sharing.👍
Cassandra have you tried the Vegamour serum? It is INCREDIBLE for hair regrowth!
I have androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium and I can also vouch for the irestore! ive been using it for almost a year now.
I have been dealing with hair loss a while. It’s been super difficult but I pulled the trigger on the irestore helmet almost 3 months ago and am so happy to hear it worked for you! I am still too early to tell, and have actually noticed more shedding (apparently normal with the helmet) so I’m trying to stay positive for that 6month mark!!
Hey gabby. Any update since you posted this comment on how the irestore has been working for you?
@@Syrup1994 i am 8 months in to using the helmet and I’ve recently started noticing a huge difference. Because it’s a long process and progress is slow I hadn’t noticed much change but I compared progress photos side by side and wow my hair is much thicker and healthier! Also noticing really fast hair growth and thicker strands so overall really happy with my progress! I’ve also been using topical serums and some supplements. But I really do believe the helmet has made the most impact.
you seem so happy in this video! this is my favorite video of yours
Thanks for making this video. Do you know what type of hairloss you have? Have you tried Rogaine/ minoxidil and did it help?
There's an Indian brand called Plum. Their scalp treatment serum and the olive macadamia hair mask is sooooo good. Especially if you put heat on your hair on a regular basis, the hair mask is just what your hair needs and the best part is they're vegan and alcohol-free.
Hi even I use it. It is wonderful for my curls.
@@samruddhikshirsagar9609can guys use it too?
I was so excited to see this update. I have been struggling with Androgenetic Alopecia for years, but it really peaked last June. I had the blood tests run, but I didn’t do any more, and now it has a good head start on me. I began Minoxidil in November, and added Spironalactone this month. I also use Viviscal Pro, all the hair supplements, and I’ve ordered the iRestore (Dr. Dray’s code) which should be delivered by the first of the year. You add things one at a time to isolate your variables, but I work in reverse. I jump in with both feet, and if/when I see results, I fade out interventions until I reach the minimum effective program. Please keep us informed on how you are doing.
Minoxidil and spironolactone are the real MVPs here. I'm super disappointed she didn't even mention them. Minoxidil is literally THE gold standard in treating hair loss. 🙄 all this other crap is straight up snake oil. It really makes me question Cassandra. She's a trained esthetician with access to field professionals. There's no way that at the very least minoxidil (and spiro) weren't mentioned to her yet she's wasting time, money and follicles on all these crap money grabs and promoting people and products to her fans. Especially the irestore. I've done a ton of research on it. The reviews speak for themselves. Most derms don't actually recommend any at home LED/laser devices. Idk man. It really makes me raise an eyebrow here.
@@noddygirl hello what brand of minoxidil do you recommend? i am trying to grow my hair long and thick. i’ve bleached it for years but recently did a root melt to blend my natural regrowth in with the bleach blonde so i don’t have to dye it anymore and can finally let it be natural ❤ i don’t have much hair loss but i have noticed around my face the hairline is getting a little bit thinned out. i think it may be from the bleaching though. and when i sleep my hair will get matted if i don’t wear my silk head scar sometimes. TIA🫶🏼
also how do i get prescribed spironolactone?
@@noddygirl I can’t speak for Cassandra, but I know she feels very strongly about cruelty free products. I would think, as the FDA almost always tests on animals prior to human trials, that medications would be her last choice of treatment.
@@_sunchildd I use the Kirkland 5% liquid from Amazon (Costco has it, too.).
@@_sunchildd I second Kirkland. But be aware apparently there's fakes out there. Weird that people would rip off such a cheap medication but I guess they do.
Love my iRestore. It's only been about a month, so no growth yet, but I love the slight warm and tingling sensation of it. It's relaxing, and reducing stress is always a win!
Careful with daily iRestore sessions though!!! They only recommend using the helmet every other day . The instructions say that excessive usage can actually accelerate hair loss. The same observation has been in the scientific literature studying lasers/LED for hair growth. There's a sweet spot for duration and intensity, but too much will make your hair fall out 😵
Thank you for sharing this Cass💗
I've been spraying a clove/rosemary water blend after shampooing, before drying, a jamaiican black seed castor oil shampoo (which strengthens hair/less hair fall), microneedling my scalp every other week, and washing my hair in cool/lukewarm water for 6 months. I also use a blowout hair tool instead of a traditional hairdryer now. Doing all of these things has made a huge difference in hair fall, and my hair is growing back where it was thinning so badly before. Such a difference already! It is still a process but I cannot wait to see what my hair looks like at the one yr mark. I also take a supplement called hair hero but that alone didn't seem to be enough for me to see a difference, although it is the number two recommended supplement after Nutrafol. I want to do it naturally and without chemicals.
Any updates? Would love to hear about your hair grow story.
@@marionym5969 in the year since I started these things my hair has grown back in A LOT but it still has a way to go to be as thick as it was before significant hair loss. It had gotten so thin on top my scalp was showing. I've noticed in the last month or so since I changed up my vit D pill to include K2 my hair seems to be growing in faster than before. K2 is supposed to help the body absorb vit D better and vit D helps hair growth. The Jamaiican Black Seed Castor Oil shampoo has DEFINITELY made my hair root stronger and my hair loss is minimal now. I also don't shampoo as often and went with an all natural shampoo to use with the castor oil shampoo. One to cleanse, one to strengthen. I believe the spray and dermaroller are still making a difference too. I'm very happy with the progress.
Low dose oral monoxidil along with a good saw palmetto extract has helped my adrenergic alopecia TREMENDOUSLY!! The growth, density, and new lowered hairline has been incredible
I'm glad to hear that. I didn't pick up my low dose minoxidil med from the pharmacy scared of any side effects. I might get it and start using it today
Will the hair fall when you stop the medication? Will you take it long term, nonstop? Thanks
Hi Cassandra, could you do a products review of Paula’s Choice such as the cleansers and the exfoliants. Thanks and love the channel!
i just ordered the scalp massager thing! it came in today!! and also got castor oil 😌 gonna use it tonight!!
I lost a ton due to postpartum hair loss around 8ish months ago... it's coming back, but not as full as I'd like. Definitely going to try these... thank you.
Merry Christmas!!💗
Saw palmetto!! 🧘♀️
Just wanted to share something I learned recently: pregnancy actually pushes more hairs into growth and maintenance phases so during pregnancy many of us experience great hair and growth, but after pregnancy the hair goes back into shedding. That’s why many of us experience “postpartum hair loss”. What you’re experiencing is apparently very normal. Some food for thought. ❤️
@@PurplePandaPete I've known quite a few women to give birth recently and the hair loss is more excessive than before they got pregnant making balding more noticeable and evident. I'm pregnant now and my mother keeps telling me to expect intense balding for a while after I give birth (as she experienced intense postpartum hair loss). It is a thing, and it can be overwhelming.
@@chypearce8457 get blood work ran after pregnancy. OBs do not know much about the nutrients and minerals we need. We lose so much blood our iron levels plummet. Then when breastfeeding that can take even more nutrients our body needs. Sometimes a prenatal is not enough.
@@chypearce8457 Get blood work done after you have the baby. OBs do not test our blood after child birth. We become severely deficient in the trace minerals, vitamins our bodies need. If your ferritin levels dropped below 80, you can experience hair loss. Low vitamin D can cause it too.
When I have a headache, my mom gives me a head massage with peppermint oil only without any carrier oils. At first it felt a little burny because I'm sensitive to peppermint in general, but we've noticed after a couple years of only occasional use, my hair seems thicker and healthier.
Yes ! I’ve been the electronic thing to massage your scalp and started using it at the same time as the iRestore, every single night !
This convinced me to finally give the red light cap a try. Just ordered it. Fingers crossed!
Putting rosemary essential oil straight to my scalp actually worked for my hair growth. The way I did it though, is I would put it straight to the scalp, massage it well, after a couple of hours I would then rinse it off with shampoo and water. Did this for about four months every other night or so. I had no scalp irritation whatsoever.
So you didn’t have to dilute it with a carrier oil?
No, i did not. I don’t have a sensitive scalp though, so just because it did not irritate me does not mean it won’t irritate you.
@@alve2977 Hi, when did you start seeing growth? I am 2 weeks in
Did you dilute the rosemary oil with a carrier oil? Cheers!
Im so happy to finally see someone with the exact balding I have. Been losing my hair since i was a teenager I am now 25 and still trying different things. Definately getting one of these red light hats and using rosemary/peppermint by mielle. Thank you for your videos you have made me feel so much better. You are also very pretty and intelligent so grateful that you are on youtube helping other people like us with this very common issue. 🙏🏽❤️
You help me out so much with my skin ! Now if you say so i might be sold on I restore i love you cassandra and happy holiday 😘
Omg! I love the blue sweater! 💙
The main thing missing from your routine is DHT blockers (spiro, Finasteride) you are experiencing follicle miniaturisation (hence it shows mainly on the top) and no amount of serums or lamps will reverse that unfortunately
I have really suffered with hair loss over the years and have been taking a one a day supplement called Nutrihair and it is so so good. I've been taking it tor about 9 months consistently but started noticing significant changes to the thickness of my hair by the 3 month mark. I have tried so many treatments, supplements but this is like no other.
I just bought the COMFIER Cordless Electric Hair Scalp massager! I luv it! We’ll see if it helps with my thinning hair. But I love it too. Anyway, it makes my scalp and head feel fantastic. I asked several hairdressers about my hair thinning they said you need to massage your scalp. It’s so hard to do until now! I love this thing. Thank you for introducing it to us.
I LOVEEEE ur natural curls!!!! 😍😍
I appreciate this video and this comment section as I have lost half of my hair in the last two years. I went and got scalp treatments at the Blow Me Away salon in Los Angeles and as enjoyable as they were I didn’t see an improvement in hair growth. What was helpful about them was the scalp camera/microscope that showed me the condition of my scalp going in and after months of fasting and changing my diet I started seeing new growth. Unfortunately as soon as I started eating unhealthy again and fasting less often I started to lose my hair again. I have had two people tell me that the red light helmets helped them so that may be my next move.
How long were your fasting windows? Did you do OMAD/IF, or extended fasting for days at a time? I practice OMAD but have been considering an extended fast for optimal cell purging. I'm curious about your personal experience... hope you see this 😀
My hair growth success story regime below:
1. Scalp Massage Daily for 20 Minutes Everyday
2. Taoist Soap for Hair Growth 2x a week on scalp (Can find online or UK Pharmacies)
3. Nettle Leaf Tea 2x a day to clean out hormone residue in the liver which causes hormone imbalances
4. Collagen Supplement daily, 2x a day in powder form (nothing fancy, just buy from online or pharmacy)
I did these and my hair is much thicker, and grows superfast, now i don't have to do this as consistently like I did before, but at the start you need to be consistent.
love this, thank you!
Ok I just bought that scalp massager thanks to you🖤
Hoping it helps with my thinning hair
I have a similar hair loss experience - also losing hair randomly in the back- I got blood work done and fixed my iron and vitamin D levels my hair has now grown back
i have social axienty and have alot of stress sometimes and half of ny hair has fallen out in 2 years i used too have long thick hair and now i keep it short and thin but i hope this recommendations and tips can help me💕
Mielle Rosemary hair oil massaged two times a week for a few hours and washed out will help you! do some research and see what you think
I’m in the same situation. Have you had any changes since last year?
Rice shampoo for growth and rosemary oil is amazing my hair always feels smooth and glossy and it grows like crazy - onion juice works amazing too, or the water from soaking rice for 2 hours and leaving it in! These are cheaper easier ways to do this! Save money! Peppermint oil and rosemary oil Togo’s great all those tingly ones tea tree oil are all stimulants! And also putting your head upside down while massaging these products into your hair helps the blood flow to the top of your head! These work just can’t be lazy and must try ut
Recently I started experiencing a dramatic hair loss and I was prescribed Minoxidil. And I have seen result around the 3 months mark. I was wondering have you considered it ?
Hiii Cassandra will you review the mielle rosemary mint oi as well as the briogeo shampoos and conditioners?
So glad you've found what works for you. Hairmax has a laser hairband that you can put at the nape of your neck. It's only lasers, no LED diodes.
Alot of info out there... I've ordered hairmax as what I've read points to lasers over led being most effective.
As someone who had hormonal hair loss from a low estrogen birth control it can be so overwhelming to see it disappear 😓😓. I got the birth control out (took over a year to get insurances okay) and started several supplements (encouraged by doctor) For me it was collagen (6000mg), biotin (10,000mg), black sesame seed (500mg). Definitely look into to the sesame I saw the most difference after adding it!!
That a amazing Deanne! Did you take it orally or use in your hair?
Thx for sharing. Did you take the sesame seed internally or apply its oil to the scalp?
@@NarsilRenewed Since she listed it as 500mg. I'm guessing it's a gel capsule.
Can I ask what brand of BC it was?
@@msevfreak23 nexplanon
So far, lavender oil mixed with marula or coconut oil as a carrier has worked wonders for me but it's still early in my journey. I also use tea tree and plan on purchasing more peppermint because I ran out of that. But I've been seeing a lot of improvement with lavender so far. Definitely want to get the helmet. I've been wanting to buy that for a while.
You and Dr. Dray are my fav!!!!
