Hello Nadine, I've been a hairdresser for 39 years and have had, what I now realise were hormonal imbalances and iron problems for most of my adult life, which went undiagnosed and has affected my hair. Through my own research and trial and error, I have conquered my own hair loss problems, if you would allow me I'd like to share these with you and your viewers. In a nutshell, I am now 56 menopausal but suffer endometriosis, with that, when young, comes heavy iron loss through menstruation and this affects nutrition and hair growth, I had too much oestrogen, oestrogen in menopause as in HRT would normally aid hair growth but too much can cause health problems, some serious, so I would never use it for that purpose. Young women with hair loss need to have blood tests taken for Iron load, serum ferritin, B12 and other components of blood, as an iron deficiency is indicative of the cause in this case. During menopause this can cause extreme blood loss with irregular and heavy periods, again your hair can fall out when iron levels are too low, even if your doctor isn't concerned about anaemia or your health, your hair is first to suffer. Look up the values for optimum hair growth. Also in menopause lack of oestrogen causes a testosterone over-ride, this excess converts to DHT which settles in the hair follicle and causes hair loss. After blood tests, if this resonates with anyone, this is what I did with amazing success.....take an iron supplement with a glass of orange juice (for absorption) avoiding tea, coffee, wheat or milk within 2 hours either side. Also a vitamin B Complex supplement as stress can deplete this water soluble vitamin, which affects hair greatly. Cut right down on sugar, alcohol, totally give up smoking, cut bad fats, but up the good fats. Eat good protein and green leafy vegetables, add oily fish to your diet for Omega 3. That's the internal bit. Exfoliate scalp (important) with L'Oréal Phytoclear scalp scrub before shampooing with Groganics deep freeze DHT blocker shampoo, use Revuele Baicapil Volume Hair Mask for hair growth. After towel drying with microfibre towel (less friction), use a tangle teaser type brush, spray scalp with Groganics 'itch spray' deep freeze DHT blocker, then comb through TIGI freak of nature volumizer & thickener with Lavender, Citrus & Eucalyptus. All these products are relatively inexpensive when it comes to hair restoration and REALLY WORK. My hair has grown back rapidly. Allow 3-6 months for best effect and be patient as the resting, growing, shedding phase needs to catch up. My hair is the best it's ever been. In my experience most hair loss problems can be solved when you get to the root of the problem. Hope this helps x
Venus77x I've been using ayurvedic hair oil and it's really helped new growth and my bald patches Hairburst supplements were also helping but gave me facial hair! I'm scared to use ayurvedic hair powders because it might affect my colour but the oils have been working wonders I'm 41 and started struggling with hair loss around aged 35
Thank you for doing this video! The best thing I ever did for my super fine thinning hair is ban heat completely! I use an Aquis towel keeping it on till it’s 80% dry then use the cool setting. Not easy at first and no heat hair styles can be time consuming but it’s SO worth it and you are right it all takes time. I recommend using thick large bendy rollers to give hair a bit of body/waves and make it look thicker :) I just dampen the mid lengths and ends then apply a little olaplex as if it’s a serum, put in the rollers then just get on with things around the house then 1 hour+ later my hair looks like it’s been styled with a tong and the best part is it lasts for days :) For me it’s a must as unlike the lovely Nadine I do not suit my hair straight and without high heat it’s just a bushy mess if I leave it as is! I do hope you will continue to post hair progress videos as it’s only going to get better and better with the wonderful care you are taking 💕
Nadine, you should try Mason Pearson boar bristle brush as it stimulates the scalp. I feel i have to add the Shu Uemura silk bloom restorative treatment mask. I massage it into dry ends and it does its magic while i sleep. Also, I sleep on a pure silk pillowcase. Shelley x
I have the dyson hairdryer and it’s honestly a game changer. Highly recommend it to anyone . I have recently switched my old ghd platinums to the ghd platinum plus and these are amazing. Have the technology like the dyson to not overheat , detect your hair type and add shine . You must try them xx
Two points here. Dr. Dray is an American dermatologist on UA-cam who has addressed supplements for hair. She says that it’s not easy to be deficient in biotin as it’s found in lots of foods, eggs being a great source. Her opinion overall is that supplements don’t help. Wondering if you researched LED lights?
Last time I looked at Viviscal in the USA it had shark cartilage in it, which is super cruel and f’s with the eco-system. Is that the marine protein you are referring to? Not sure if there are different formulas for different countries. Sharks are apex predators and it is bad, bad, bad to harvest them. Also, they usually cut fins and throw them back to die cruelly. You like to do research, so please do some here. In this day and age we should all have some environmental responsibility.
Thank you for pointing this out. I was going to check if Viviscal was suitable for vegetarians but now don’t need to. I won't be buying the bristle brush either.
I bought the Dyson and ended up giving it to my daughter. It didn't work on my thick wavy hair, just made it more frizzy. I works for my daughter as she has finer hair. If anyone has thick curly hair they should really think about it before buying.
Taking Biotin and Vitamin E in individual tablets works just as well. I take both in their maximum strengths. I would be very careful about Niacin and Niacinimide. They both dialite the blood vessels. I used to take them. I developed a huge blood clot in 2010 after some minor surgery. I made the decision to stop taking Niacin due to its effect on blood vessels. I have vascular insufficiently and I felt that the Niacin helped me.
Great video😘I have used VisiCalc for several years, my salon does Olaplex with my color, so so! There now is a shampoo & conditioner you can buy. Your hair looks beautiful. 😘😘
Hi Nadine, thank you so much. A very interesting and informative video. As a woman of a certain age I've been thinking for a while about hair supplements, especially as my hair is also fine and damaged, although it does have a natural curl. P.s. I can't wait for the Airwrap review as I'm hoping it would be a good investment as a recovery aid but want to see a review from someone I trust with 'real' hair. So far, there are very few reviews out there from women with fine hair so you go girl. ❤️💋
Dear Annie, thank you so much for your reply. I also use the Ordinary products like Granactive, Lactic Acid, glycolic acid and more before my regime daily. I also have driopy eyelids and to tell the truth that is my main concern although I doubt I can fix it. Did you put tretinoin above your brows maybe? Truth is different people react differently to products but it is good to know that it worked especially with pores which are so hard to make smaller. I will keep on trying things and I know it takes time. I am so happy fir you it is si important to feel good about your skin. Again thank you for your reply xx. :)
One thing about biotin , it can interfere with thyroid medication, I have hypothyroidism and I became very hyperthyroid after a couple of months ! Check with your doctor if you have thyroid disease .
Deborah Craven Really?! I am also hypothyroid, I didn’t know this! I take biotin every day but I do wait several hours (4-5) before taking the biotin supplement. It make you hyperthyroid and not more hypothyroid? My hair hasn’t stopped falling this year but I think it’s stress related. Thanks so much for the info!
The Song of Life it doesn’t make you more hypo or hyper ..it just effects your actual blood test (something to do with the equipment they use..look it up..)but you just stop taking for a few days before bloodwork and then carry on taking afterwards
Olaplex absolutely, works amazingly. My hair surprises my hairdresser. Its a very old place, mostly older people that only deal in cash. My hairdresser a few weeks ago was telling me about a lady that was 103. Great place, they even do house calls if someone is poorly. Or pick them up & take them home. This kind of place dosent exist 😁 Your hair is looking amazing all great tips. xxx 🐯🐾🐾🐾🐾
Also, biotin can affect thyroid medication and tests. Normal thyroid function is critical for healthy hair. See the article posted by Susan Chambers in the comments.
You must have read my mind, when I watched your video in the Trafford centre beauty hall, I kept thinking how fabulous your hair looked. Thanks for the tips, I’m currently on superior hair from Victoria Health that Trinny recommended. I’m 52, no sign of menopause yet, (checks chin for hair) but definitely have thinning hair at the front and along the parting which I hate. Xx
Great video. ...live your posts....can I ask a favor? I have always followed your retinA vids avidly. ...I have been using tretinoin for the past 18 months. I started using it really diluted in moisturiser and slowly built up to the 0.5% one neat...Every other day. There's loads of info out there for how important it is,how good it is and to get started, etc...but nothing much about long term use and how to maintain. Do we need to use it forever? ...Every day or less often?....can you elaborate on this in a video? A video especially for those who have been using tretinoin for a couple of years....or at least what to do once the user has got used to it and can use it once every couple of days without any flaking.etc. does it seen work if you use it once every couple of days?
Hi Annie. I haven't used tretinoin myself but other retinol serums and pure vitamin A ampules and was wondering if these things really work. I mean I watch a lot of UA-camrs swearing by retinol, retin A, tretinoin etc but after a year let's say of them using them I don't see any difference whatsoever. I believe that nothing can change time effects but maybe slow down damage? I don't know. Please tell me what you personally think about tretinoin and I might then give it a try. I am 52 btw and have good skin, probably good genes. They all say I look ten years younger and I might say there is no damage on the skin as I don't sunbathe a lot etc. Would like to know your opinion. Thank you in advance.
@@caterinaiona6397 Hi. I'm 47 and started using over the counter retinols and retinoids to get my skin used to them for about a year or so before actually starting on tretinoin. Over the counter meaning the ordinary company ones. I started on 0.05 straight off. ...I just diluted tiny amounts with a moisturiser 2 or three times a week. I'm south Asian and have wheatish colour skin with loads of darker marks from old spots that I had squeezed in the past. ...also pigment issues around my mouth and ever largining pores. A year and a half down. ......I can honestly say this is the first time I am truly happy with my skin. People tell me they think I'm in my early thirties...The always gasp when I tell them I'm 47. My pores have almost gone. My stubborn marks are visibly lightened and most have vanished. The pigment around my mouth is almost gone. Although I had very few wrinkles to start with....I did start to get droopy eyelids. ..These have perked up and the few wrinkles I had between my eyebrows have significantly lessened. However,I have to add that the tretinoin was just one of the changes I made. I also make my own 8% and 10% lactic acid resurfacing pads. ....or acid toner, if you please. Which I swipe over my face once a day. I also use several different types of serums that I rotate everyday so my skin gets benefits from all. ..and I drink a litre of sugar free squash everyday that has about 25mg of l-ascorbic acid mixed into it. Hope this helps you
I have thick and curly hair... And I refuse to have thinning shears on my hair, that happened once and never again, it was the most horrible haircut ever..... I stopped coloring my hair a year ago, I'm going natural, I still have a ways to go , maybe another year! It's not easy for the weak.. lol but I'm still excited!
Hi Nadine, Great video. I have just started using Olaplaex 3 and having in salon treatments. Can I use other deep treatments such as Philip Kingsley Elasticizer as well? I know I would use it on a different day but wondered am I ok to use it or is it not worth it? Thanks Julie
Can you do (or maybe you've done it already) a video on chin hair growth and hair growing on the front of the neck - what does one do to reduce or get rid of them????
I used Viviscal for a few months..I don't find it very strong...I use a different on recommended by the Doctor at Victoria health and a 1000mg biotin...I went to Phillip Kingley for years..his salon in NYC...big amounts of Vit C are vital...and no hot hair dryers..no dye!!I have twice the amount of hair I used to have..in my 60's!!! Plant based diet..all organic....
This is not their product..but the Doctor (that's always on Trinny) is genius and he swears by "Food Science Superior Hair"..I am a holistic practitioner..I have used hair vit's for 40 years..these are excellant!!!!!
I'd love to share..but it is quite a lot of info to post here..are you in the states??Or on FB?? I mean I have studied hair loss since I was 17 and my hair started to fall out..I have had a journey and a half..and I accomplished a thriving head of hair..in my 60's..so this is too long for Nadine's page!!LOL!!
Hey are you going to try out the new Dyson airwrap? I've had mine a week - shape and volume - it's truly amazing for fine hair and minimum heat! Would love your review on this please?
Hello there, my mother uses viviscal. Where can I find the salon strength you mentioned for really thinning hair. She’s 80 my Mom but still wants thicker hair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge...🤗🎃
Hi Nadine, could you do a video on how you now colour your hair, I want to stop having highlights done every couple on months now i'm going grey but don't really know how to go about keeping blonde without bleach
Thanks Nadine. I use viviscal (for a few years now). Not sure if it’s that or other changes to my styling routine but at 55 my hair looks great. Fine but healthy and med long. Could you PLEASE show us how long the curls hold on fine mature hair? I’ve seen tons of reviews but they are all young ladies with full voluminous hair. Will the curling wand provide enough heat to hold a curl on fine med length, hard to curl hair?
If your hair is naturally hard to curl, it won't really matter what you use as far as styling tool unless you combine it with a mousse or a setting spray of some sort that works for your hair. Not your type of hair, but for your hair specifically. Its a trial an error system. Oh, and as a rule of thumb, the larger the barrel of a curling iron (aka the bigger the curl) the faster curls tend to drop
Thanks Andrea. My hair curls unbelievably well with overnight heatless rollers, stays in a full day or more (but who can sleep on even foam rollers??). Despite this sorcery, the higher the heat of a curling iron (and the smaller the barrel of course), the longer my curls last. Can't say mousse or setting sprays help at all. In fact, they tend to make my fine hair (that tangles if someone looks at it too hard) into candy floss that I can't brush out (breakage), must shampoo. I wish I could use hairspray or style set and I have tried them all I think. So I was wondering if air drying in a curl shape just might work if I do the usual hairpin hold on each curl for an hour after the styling. Just thinking maybe the ability to hold the curl in that shape for a longer period of time because of heat that it lower might do the trick? Everyone's hair is so different. I have never tried curling my hair with a brush and blow dryer because I don't have 4 hands and the blow dryer must be controllable at all times otherwise it tangles.
Hi Nadine, quick q about the hair supplement - all of these vitamins and minerals can be found in a multivitamin supplement, so do you think it will have a similar affect? Asking because I'm on a tight budget and it is more affordable! Thanks! :)
I bought the hair supplements and got a 3 months supply for $105. USD that is less expensive than buying all the vitamins separately each month.= $35 a month. I just started taking them so I don't know if they work yet.
We have them in Greece so I could get them. Do they really work? Because I have used so many different expensive Shampoos, Conditioners, Masks you name it. Please tell me if they are worth it. Thank you in advance.
I'm an Australian doctor who specialises on hormones, hair loss, menopause, etc. I realise that I'm late to the party with this post but anyone using Biotin should be aware that it can cause blood tests to be incorrect. There have been cases where people have died because they have been tested for a possible heart attack and the test has been negative when in fact they have had a heart attack. The reason is that biotin is used in laboratories as a reagent . If you're taking biotin you most stop it 48 hours before any blood tests and if you need emergency tests you should tell medical staff that you are using it. The laboratory can then do different tests.
Nadine , I've been watching you since the start ... I am soooo interested in the hair vitamin product . I can't see. To get info if if this company ships to the US ? Any info ? I'm in California . Or if anyone who also lives in the US, where did you purchase ? Thank you . Great info video ! Tahoe Gal Sandie
have u heard of Bondi Boost growth shampoo/conditioner? they have supplements too, its an aussie brand and made my hair grow like magic, im trying to grow my hair out into a man bun!
It has just been pointed out to me that viviscal contains shark cartilage why as an influential beauty guru would you even consider recommending this to anyone never mind taking it yourself. It just proves to me that some people are more concerned about there appearance than the world we live in
Can biotin cause adult acne? I tried it for my really fine (and getting thinner as I get older ☹️) hair & I found I was getting big cystic acne spots. It was the only thing I could link it to, stoped taking it & acne went away. Would love to find something to help my hair grow longer & thicker.
Work with the dosage, if I keep it to 10,000 mg a day I don't break out but Biotin really helps with hair growth, almost all of my hair fell out due to stress and Biotin from Walmart or Walgreens really made a huge difference, try with 2500mg first.
Also, do you consider yourself high maintenance? Just curious. You're a gorgeous looking woman, but boy it must cost to look as good as you do... I'm a big fan though ❤️ so no malice intended 💕
Nadine, you aren't doing your hair any favors by constantly touching it. Perhaps it's a nervous tic, but you run your fingers through your fringe A LOT. It's contributing to the breakage. Try to break yourself of that habit. Your hair will thank you.
Hi Nadine, you far over touch your bands over and over and over again. Not a pretty view. Please don't get upset just imagine to look at someone who has this tick over repeated. Very informative videos thank you. Sonia

I’ve tried viviscal and I only really noticed my upper lip hair looking thicker. Maybe it made a difference to my scalp but nothing crazy
Buy the Dyson on qvc. 3 or 4 easy payments. If you aren't impressed you can send it back within 30days

Yes it contains Shark cartilage 😭😡😭
Thank you for pointing this out. I was going to check if Viviscal was suitable for vegetarians but now don’t need to. I won't be buying the bristle brush either.
Thanks for this information I definitely won’t be buying this
Def won't be buying either. The best thing I ever did to improve the length & condition of my hair was to stop using heat. X
Shut up stupid put a shark inside your aquarium

I love my Mason Pearson Brush - have had it for about 20 years, it's well worth it's cost. Never damages/tangles hair.

Can't wait for you to review the Dyson Airwrap!! Thank you for another great videe👍🏻

Thank you for this video! Just ordered my Viviscal today! Have you tried the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner? It’s fabulous!!!
I LOVE Alterna Anti-Aging deep conditioner. Amazing for my thin hair. My hair dresser even said it has almost doubled my thickness.
Hey... Can't believe I'm first 😱. I know I'll enjoy the video so, great video! 😁 Have a lovely weekend Nadine xx
I have thick and curly hair... And I refuse to have thinning shears on my hair, that happened once and never again, it was the most horrible haircut ever.....
I stopped coloring my hair a year ago, I'm going natural, I still have a ways to go , maybe another year! It's not easy for the weak.. lol but I'm still excited!
Hi Nadine, Great video. I have just started using Olaplaex 3 and having in salon treatments. Can I use other deep treatments such as Philip Kingsley Elasticizer as well? I know I would use it on a different day but wondered am I ok to use it or is it not worth it? Thanks Julie
Can you do (or maybe you've done it already) a video on chin hair growth and hair growing on the front of the neck - what does one do to reduce or get rid of them????
Ursula Curtin pluck with tweezers 🤷🏻♀️
Nadine did a video with Emma Guns on this channel about facial hair - super informative and helpful!
@@msheartface5288 I do but they grow faster than I can keep up.
I used Viviscal for a few months..I don't find it very strong...I use a different on recommended by the Doctor at Victoria health and a 1000mg biotin...I went to Phillip Kingley for years..his salon in NYC...big amounts of Vit C are vital...and no hot hair dryers..no dye!!I have twice the amount of hair I used to have..in my 60's!!! Plant based diet..all organic....
May I ask which one from Victoria Health? Thanks.
This is not their product..but the Doctor (that's always on Trinny) is genius and he swears by "Food Science Superior Hair"..I am a holistic practitioner..I have used hair vit's for 40 years..these are excellant!!!!!
Hi Carol. Can you share some of the things you do/take that helped your hair?
I'd love to share..but it is quite a lot of info to post here..are you in the states??Or on FB?? I mean I have studied hair loss since I was 17 and my hair started to fall out..I have had a journey and a half..and I accomplished a thriving head of hair..in my 60's..so this is too long for Nadine's page!!LOL!!
@@carolnewlands8630 My sister is on FB, she will private message my contact info. Thanks so much!!!
Can you do a video on how you do your roots and with what colour please? Great vid as usual, thank you for your time
Thanks for a very informative video Nadine. I was wondering what you use to tint your roots? Thank you.
I was wondering the same thing!! 🤗
She did a video a while back where she colors her sister’s hair so you can see.
Thank you for the video. I have try Viviscal but a get upset stomach don’t know why. But will check out the rest.
I see the hair brush you mention comes in different sizes. Which size are you using? Thank you in advance
Nadine uses a 50mm size brush
Your hair and nails look gorgeous in this video, stunning Xx
You’re so beautiful 🥰 and you’re videos make me happy
Do you think the supplement will help if you have had hair loss because of chemo
Nadine , do you think mason and Pearson brushes are good ? My grand mother gave me one as a child and I’m thinking of getting a new one !!
Hey are you going to try out the new Dyson airwrap? I've had mine a week - shape and volume - it's truly amazing for fine hair and minimum heat! Would love your review on this please?
Hello there, my mother uses viviscal. Where can I find the salon strength you mentioned for really thinning hair. She’s 80 my Mom but still wants thicker hair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge...🤗🎃
Hi Nadine, could you do a video on how you now colour your hair, I want to stop having highlights done every couple on months now i'm going grey but don't really know how to go about keeping blonde without bleach
Hi Nadine Im now going grey and I have similar hair to you, can you tell me what toners you y2se instead of bleach ect thanks so much xx
Nadine , have you tried the new dyson dryer / styler ? If so can you do a video of yourself using it please ? !! .
Thanks Nadine. I use viviscal (for a few years now). Not sure if it’s that or other changes to my styling routine but at 55 my hair looks great. Fine but healthy and med long. Could you PLEASE show us how long the curls hold on fine mature hair? I’ve seen tons of reviews but they are all young ladies with full voluminous hair. Will the curling wand provide enough heat to hold a curl on fine med length, hard to curl hair?
If your hair is naturally hard to curl, it won't really matter what you use as far as styling tool unless you combine it with a mousse or a setting spray of some sort that works for your hair. Not your type of hair, but for your hair specifically. Its a trial an error system.
Oh, and as a rule of thumb, the larger the barrel of a curling iron (aka the bigger the curl) the faster curls tend to drop
Thanks Andrea. My hair curls unbelievably well with overnight heatless rollers, stays in a full day or more (but who can sleep on even foam rollers??). Despite this sorcery, the higher the heat of a curling iron (and the smaller the barrel of course), the longer my curls last. Can't say mousse or setting sprays help at all. In fact, they tend to make my fine hair (that tangles if someone looks at it too hard) into candy floss that I can't brush out (breakage), must shampoo. I wish I could use hairspray or style set and I have tried them all I think. So I was wondering if air drying in a curl shape just might work if I do the usual hairpin hold on each curl for an hour after the styling. Just thinking maybe the ability to hold the curl in that shape for a longer period of time because of heat that it lower might do the trick? Everyone's hair is so different. I have never tried curling my hair with a brush and blow dryer because I don't have 4 hands and the blow dryer must be controllable at all times otherwise it tangles.
What about the keratin blow dry? Why is that not mentioned Nadine? I thought you rated that highly
Hi Nadine, quick q about the hair supplement - all of these vitamins and minerals can be found in a multivitamin supplement, so do you think it will have a similar affect? Asking because I'm on a tight budget and it is more affordable! Thanks! :)
I am in the US and we can buy all the B’s in house brand for very little money
I bought the hair supplements and got a 3 months supply for $105. USD that is less expensive than buying all the vitamins separately each month.= $35 a month. I just started taking them so I don't know if they work yet.
What size is your round brush? The link you've provided shows many options. Thanks!
50mm
Do you not have the Olaplex shampoo & conditioner (4&5) in the UK? They are amazing! NOTHING has repaired my fine, frizzy, bleached hair like them.
We have them in Greece so I could get them. Do they really work? Because I have used so many different expensive Shampoos, Conditioners, Masks you name it. Please tell me if they are worth it. Thank you in advance.
Does Viviscal contain vitamin b12? I get horrible spots with b12.
Love this video so much for obvious reasons! xxx
I'm an Australian doctor who specialises on hormones, hair loss, menopause, etc. I realise that I'm late to the party with this post but anyone using Biotin should be aware that it can cause blood tests to be incorrect. There have been cases where people have died because they have been tested for a possible heart attack and the test has been negative when in fact they have had a heart attack. The reason is that biotin is used in laboratories as a reagent . If you're taking biotin you most stop it 48 hours before any blood tests and if you need emergency tests you should tell medical staff that you are using it. The laboratory can then do different tests.
Your hair is gorgeous!💁🏼♀️
Nadine , I've been watching you since the start ... I am soooo interested in the hair vitamin product . I can't see. To get info if if this company ships to the US ? Any info ? I'm in California . Or if anyone who also lives in the US, where did you purchase ?
Thank you .
Great info video !
Tahoe Gal
Sandie
Sandie Howard they carry Viviscal at stores like Target and cvs in the US.
Where can you buy step 1 and 2 olaplex? (I can find step 3 and the shampoo and conditioner)
Anna Trist I believe you must be a professional to buy steps 1&2....
The same happened me with the thinning scissors - if I even see a hairdresser take them out now I’m like no!!
How do you get rid of your cow lick? I have one that I gave up on fighting decade ago.
I’d love to know too! 😊
Check for her past video on how she blow dries/styles her hair. She did a specific video a while back.
Viviscal is on 3 for 2 in boots at the moment and in Holland and Barratt it is £29.99 but buy one get one for a penny 👍🏻
Thank you Nadine. I’ll try Viviscal. I have hair loss due to hormones. I hope it works for me.
have u heard of Bondi Boost growth shampoo/conditioner? they have supplements too, its an aussie brand and made my hair grow like magic, im trying to grow my hair out into a man bun!
Viviscal broke me out like crazy. My skind does not tolerate biotin and B vitamins. :-(
Viviscal gave me a stomach ache sometimes and did absolutely nothing for me. Total waste of money!☹
Have you tried Cake Scalp Tonic by GM Reverie?
What size is the YS park brush?
I just realized I missed it when you said the size was 50. Going to order mine now.
What's the name of the shadow in your eyes??
I thought Dyson would not be good for thin hair since it seems so powerful and I don’t want that...but I could be wrong.
Balmain extension brush equals no breakage
It has just been pointed out to me that viviscal contains shark cartilage why as an influential beauty guru would you even consider recommending this to anyone never mind taking it yourself. It just proves to me that some people are more concerned about there appearance than the world we live in
Oh I didn't know this.thank you for letting Me know. Definitely won't be purchasing. X
Thank you so much for posting this. I recently went through a bad haircut, and this is quite helpful. 💕👍
Excellent, thank you!
Thanks for sharing 💕💕
Can biotin cause adult acne? I tried it for my really fine (and getting thinner as I get older ☹️) hair & I found I was getting big cystic acne spots. It was the only thing I could link it to, stoped taking it & acne went away. Would love to find something to help my hair grow longer & thicker.
Work with the dosage, if I keep it to 10,000 mg a day I don't break out but Biotin really helps with hair growth, almost all of my hair fell out due to stress and Biotin from Walmart or Walgreens really made a huge difference, try with 2500mg first.
Marie Hamilton my sixteen year old daughter had a similar reaction , not for everyone so !
Yes, too much biotin makes me break out. I had to figure out how much I could tolerate.
Did they make you gain a few pounds though?
Also, do you consider yourself high maintenance? Just curious. You're a gorgeous looking woman, but boy it must cost to look as good as you do... I'm a big fan though ❤️ so no malice intended 💕
Nadine, you aren't doing your hair any favors by constantly touching it. Perhaps it's a nervous tic, but you run your fingers through your fringe A LOT. It's contributing to the breakage. Try to break yourself of that habit. Your hair will thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing xXx
Olaplex made my hair very brittle,even my hairdresser stopped using it in his salon. It was awful.
It made mine look awful. Really dry and bristle like. Threw it out.
I think you can overdo it easily. Messed my hair up and I got loads of breakage.
Thinning scissors are a no no ... absolutely never allow a hair dresser to use them on you!
Hi Nadine, you far over touch your bands over and over and over again. Not a pretty view. Please don't get upset just imagine to look at someone who has this tick over repeated. Very informative videos thank you. Sonia
I’m first! Yea!
