This is how to use your platform properly. Thank you Nadine. As a menopausal woman suffering with the inevitable and not always clearly defined hair loss this video was a breath of fresh air. My thanks to your guest as well.
This is such an important video for me and so many women suffering from hair loss - thank you for doing it and giving us some answers and guidance. The confusion, shame and fear is real. I'm still living it and trying to find my way back to having a half decent head of hair. It's a long process but I know many other women are going through the same thing and having the same problems so it's important that we talk about this stuff and support each other. xx
Can you give us an update on your hair loss since taking out the mirena. I’ve taken mine out as I ruled out everything else, but it’s falling more than ever.
@@bakhtawarsidhwa Hi -I'm experiencing the same thing - exactly the same. So I went to see my GP who I basically cried my eyes out to and she said I was due a free NHS health check which she would also include full blood tests with - so iron, thyroid etc. Please go and see your GP and ask for the same thing. I'm waiting for the results. Drop me a DM on @joljones insta so we can stay in touch
I went to see this trichologist on the strength of this video (even though I'm a guy) and I was not disappointed. He gave me a correct diagnosis and took a huge weight of my shoulders. I had previously seen another trichologist who told me I had alopecia, which I was doubtful about. Thank you so much Nadine!
My sister is preparing to go into chemo treatments in a few days and is facing the loss of her hair. This advice about treating the scalp carefully is sure to be helpful when she is finished with treatment and is hoping for regrowth of hair. I have thick, healthy hair so don’t struggle with the problems identified, but I appreciate hearing about real issues driving hair loss and the health of the hair.
This was super interesting, thank you for using your platform to talk about this. Also appreciate how down to earth and honest your guest was, not pushing expensive products and just saying what actually in his opinion makes an effect.
Nadine, you have just literally saved not only my fine and fragile hair, but also the vast amounts of money that I spend on the so called supplement, shampoos/conditions that are supposed to help, My eyes have been opened by an expert, and for that, I thank you. (And so does my bank account). Now off to see if the supplements are available in downtown Australia. Probably not, as always grrrrrr. Brilliant video thank you so very much.
Loved this interview, so informative and it's so refreshing when someone is happy to say what they charge. Also I asked Ian a question on his website and he answered the following day, brilliant!
I have very fine thin hair, and I personally find having highlights makes it appear thicker particularly on top which is the area I’m most conscious about. It also blends in more with the scalp!
What a pragmatist great insight My key takeout was just like skin care less is more I love my dyson too wouldn’t be without it QVC has it in 6 easy pays right now if anyone is interested Thanks for a brilliant interview Have a great week xxxx
A diet high in processed sugar? Very surprised Ian didn't mention that, as it is inflammatory and affects insulin which is a hormone which in turn can affect the hair. I do believe inflammation plays a role in hair loss
Ohhhh im so glad for this. I have fine and thinning hair. First started losing lots of hair in my teens and its quite noticeable on my crown which i am self conscious about. The hair loss slowed down but recently it has started again...20 years later. When i comb my hair a lot falls out and its noticeable as i dont have much hair
Thank you for sharing this. I am a hairdresser and get askrd these questions alot. I have always been interested in finding out the root cause. So i can now imform my clients a bit better. Will def follow him
Thank you Nadine. Bring him back again with better sound. This is a massive issue for women. Back in the day women just put it down to getting older. GP's do not have the skills yet and to be fair to them, they have enough to deal with. Thanks again
Thank you. Great video. When I quit coloring my hair, it got thicker quickly. Thanks for not recommending shampoo and conditioner brands. Healthy protein in my diet and a well balanced supplement has also helped.
I did not believe anything could repair hair, until I used Olaplex. And not even the no. 1 and 2; only the no.3. My literally fried hair (zig zagged ends, burnt hair) was all fine after just one use. I would never have believed such a thing could be true, unless I saw it with my own eyes. This was in 2016 and I have been repurchasing since then. Note that I had no high hopes at all. Also note that the damage was recent; it was not cumulative damage from years or months before. I used it very generously and on dry hair, saturating thoroughly, I kept it on for 24 hours wrapped in cling film, reapplying as needed. I could not stop inspecting my hair after I washed it off, it was unbelievable. And no, the effect is permanent, it does not wash off, because it's not a cosmetic fix that clings to your hair to make it look better. This was my experience with the product, but I had made my first purchase after thorough research. . I would've expected to hear about Olaplex in this conversation, but it was very informative nevertheless. Thank you Nadine and thank you Ian 😊
Olaplex is incredible. It’s really helped me too. Best applied to wet hair so the product can help to rebond the cuticle and you can continually dampen the hair as you leave in the product to help keep it working. This will yield even better results. Hope this helps 😊
Just come across this amazing vid. Just loved the fact that there was no bullshit. I have fine and fragile hair and have learnt over the years that a good cut and colour and not doing too much to it is the best way forward.
Very informative. I'd suggest for the interviewer to interrupt less as it was a bit distracting. I appreciate that you asked about vegetarians and vegans. As a vegetarian, it's really difficult to get the right nutrition, and it's such an important part of hair health. Also appreciate that you asked about the cost.
Thank you so much to Ian for sharing this information! Thank you Nadine for asking such wonderful questions! This has been immensely helpful! Thank you again and God bless you both!
That was great. I would so love to go see this guy .. arghhhhh. Thanks Nadine. He more or less confirmed what i thought i knew :) (but i did already pay to see 3 different thricologists in the past)
I have loads of problems with my scalp. I get really greasy hair very quickly. Is that something that a trichologist or a dermatologist should look at? Thanks. By the way.... he is amazing! Thank you for the no nonsense! And not trying to sell us loads of rubbish!
Same here. If i wash my hair in the morning it goes lank 12 hours later so if im going out i need to rewash it or else it will be greasy. Theres no way i could leave it days to cleanse itself and dry shampoo isnt good on dark hair.
Hi Nadine, very interesting video & because I have serious concerns of hair loss I have ordered x3 of the hair jelly capsules. There’s a discount code on Iain’s website which gave me £15 off ! I do love his no nonsense approach and that he’s isn’t trying to promote expensive topical hair products. He seems really honest & genuine and feel I have had a “free” consultation listening to him talk to you which is another reason I’ve bought his supplements. I have realistic expectations and will be patiently looking out for improvements hopefully in several months time. I’ll let you know how I get on. Thank you Nadine x
Nadine, 2 questions for you: 1) Are there any recommendations for a Hair Jelly substitute that’s available in the US? It doesn’t look like Hair Jelly ships outside of the UK. 2) Where did you get that jacket with the star fabric liner?!?? It’s absolutely adorable!!!
I am currently going to the Philip Kingsley salon in London. I can highly recommend it. Their prices are not cheap but worth every penny . They diagnosed me with female pattern baldness and shedding. My hair is growing back and getting a lot thicker.
I was recommended to go to them as well by a stylist. My hair has started to thin a little. Have they put you on medication or supplements to help? If so what is your treatment regimen if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks so much and I’m so happy to hear that you’re having success. 😊
My ferritin was so low-5, I was losing so much hair. Took iron but it wouldn’t raise my ferritin for some reason. Finally worked with a naturopath dr who got my ferritin to 102 and my hair is so healthy now.
Lisa R - I am interested to know what your naturopath dr did to increase your ferritin level when Iron did not work. I also have this problem as my ferritin level is 6.
My naturopath doctor had me take Dr. Mercola’s liposomal vitamin c. It is different from regular vit c. It doubled my ferritin in 3 months and I’m convinced the low ferritin is why my hair was falling out. I’ve read that ferritin needs to be at least 70 to grow new hair. There are articles online about it. The problem was when I took iron the iron would get dangerously high but the ferritin was still very low. That was when I was using a typical western doctor. I decided to go to the naturopath doctor and he has healed a lot of other stuff as well. My hair is so much better, healthy, stronger- not breaking and frizzy.
I had hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and finished “active” treatment 2 years ago. I’m now on hormone therapy (tamoxifen 20mg) so in a kind of chemical menopause, and my hair is much thinner than it was before I started chemotherapy on the top of my head (strangely the hair on the back and sides of my head is as thick as it was before) and I’ve just had 2 major reconstructive surgeries which resulted in a loss of blood and anaemia. I have lost a whole lot more hair as a result and now have a bald patch on my crown, which is so upsetting because it had only just grown back from chemo! However, the anaemia and blood loss is on it’s way to being resolved. My question is: does tamoxifen have the effect of hair loss or thinning? And if so, once I have finished my 5 or 10 year treatment (by which time I will be about 47), can I expect my hair to grow back or is the effect likely to be permanent?
Hi Jenny. I have been on tamoxifen as well in the same situation. It is almost impossible to predict what happens afterwards because it depends on your personal hormone situation. I will say that overcoming anemia helped a lot with my hair. And after that I have been very careful to get enough protein and calsium in my diet so that my hair and even more importantly my bones stay strong. I suggest eating as healthy as possible (Mediterranean diet) and trying supplements. Your body has gone through a lot and it will take time to reach a balance. Stay positive.
Tiiti thank you for taking the time to reply! I am eating a Mediterranean diet, and I think (hope) the level of protein and calcium I have in my diet are good. Maybe I can ask the doctor for blood tests to check these the next time I visit. Thanks again! Xxx
Sulfates enter your body so less is more, the shampoo may do the same job but I would rather not have detergent on my skin. Great informative video though.
Ian thankyou...you have given me hope. I had been told all the myths about not colouring hair etc and you are completely right....its a double blow to have hairloss but then be restricted in what styling you can do with your hair. Was also worried about the cost of visiting a trichologist but if it could only mean a couple of appointments that would be ok. Do you know of a good trichologist in northern ireland?
Interesting vlog I went to a well known trichologists in London which cost nearly £400 for the consultation plus hundreds more to buy the branded products they recommended. I was told to wash my hair every day (using their products) which I believe made it worse. My problem turned out to be hormone/diet related - eat less sugar/carbs and more protein especially eggs which are very nutritious for hair growth. Use natural hair products with no silicones/sulphate/parabans and massage scalp for blood flow.
Interesting. May I ask if this was Philip Kingsley? I was recommended to go there by a stylist but they are big believers in washing hair every day and pushing products I have heard, so I’ve been a bit fearful of going. Thanks for sharing and hope that you’re doing better now.
Hi. I got bloods and went to a tricologist. My iron levels were low (17) and so she recommended iron supplements. I am taking Galfer and notice a big difference. My question is she also recommended the following treatments. They cost €600 for 10 sessions. I am half way though and haven’t noticed any additional improvements. Do you think the following treatments have benefits or are faff: Laser treatment to stimulate growth and encourage vasodilation, medication topically applied area used in combination with UVA light and scalp massage to encourage blood flow.
The worst thing is going to doctors for help and advice and having them not take it seriously. Once my thyroid tested normal, it's now passed off as a purely a cosmetic concern related to "unavoidable" factors and ignored. Does Ian make house calls? ;)
@@itsacarolbthing5221 Oh I did that. Many times. Derms are the same. ‘Bloodwork okay? Sorry, can’t help you.’ Luckily I found help from a hairstylist on TikTok!
Girl, I LOVE your videos, but your audio is difficult sometimes. I find myself having to turn the volume up and down a lot (watching from my computer). I watch a lot of UA-camrs, and this is different than most of the others I watch. Just some constructive feedback. I STILL LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
I would point out that your GP will not arrange blood tests just because you want to take the results to a Trichologist. There has to be a medical reason why you need them.
When my hair loss was extreme, I started using natural progesterone cream and my hair stopped falling out in big clumps. I only use a few hairs with each wash now.
Thank you. Did you use this day 14 on til your period if you are premenopausal? I just started from ovulation to my period as my progesterone is low and I have a luteal phase defect. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@PandaA-cv3mm I used progesterone cream for PMS when I was younger.Now, I apply it because I am post menopausal and am not on HRT. I would research progesterone use by Dr. John R Lee, M.D., since he's the expert on the topic. That's what I did before I started using it.
I use nioxin shampoo and conditioner; it improved the health of my scalp and helped me hugely when I got stress alopecia; my hair grew back covering the patches and fine areas of hair loss . Now I have a fabulous head of hair and my hairdresser is amazed.
Always had thick hair but since hitting 50 it was coming out in handfuls to the point it was blocking the plug. Since taking high dose daily Omega 3 I have noticed a huge reduction in hair loss but it did take at least 3/4 months.
OMG that's why I had thinning hair at the front of my head I never realised that getting the coil removed resulted in my hair going back to normal until now
Michelle S omg I’m on merena coil now for almost 5 years, and ever since my hair has been shedding like crazy. I had such thick hair and now it’s less than half. It’s due to be replaced, but I’m now going to remove it. It’s now hubbys turn to be snipped. We’re done having kids.
@@bakhtawarsidhwa yes mine was merena coil they didnt tell me hair thinning and loss was a possible side effect I'm glad I got it removed it all makes sense now 👍
@@billie5057 absolutely yes it did but I was always puzzled as to why it went through that phase now I know it can't be anything I have always had a healthy diet and enough B vitamins so don't worry 😁👍
Hi Nadine I have Alopecia, I am 53yrs old and this only started last year, I have been to the doctors and got steroid creams and also have bought every expensive product out there.I have always had fabulous thick hair but now it's awful and not good.
Question: conditioner and Hairmask on the scalp or not on the scalp? For me it makes sense to apply on the scalp as it's skin and my skin is dehydrated. But I keep hearing people telling you only on the length...
I am so frustrated I lived in The USA my blood tests showed borderline thyroid issues and I was given medication that really helped my hair skin and many other issues. NHS "OH there is nothing wrong you are just borderline." Minoxidil burned my scalp.
Maybe a little off topic, I have natural curly hair but after I bleached it a year ago I tend to have loser curls. Even now a year after, all the bleached hair are gone the curls are gone too. Is there any solution to that?
Thank you for such a useful video. I've finally gotten the answer I was looking for. I've suffered from androgenic alopecia since I was 14 years old. I've undergone various dermalogical treatments which include PRP, minoxidil, biotin supplements and consuming iron-rich food. however, the condition recurred once the treatments ended. looks like I need to take anti-androgenic medication among other things.
Love that he wasn’t advertising expensive stuff ya don’t need.A decent man that obviously knows his job xx

I went to see Iain sallis about 6 or 7 years ago at his clinic in Nottingham and he saved my sanity because of my hair loss. Top man xx
Did you find out what the cause was?
I went to see this trichologist on the strength of this video (even though I'm a guy) and I was not disappointed. He gave me a correct diagnosis and took a huge weight of my shoulders. I had previously seen another trichologist who told me I had alopecia, which I was doubtful about. Thank you so much Nadine!

@@itsacarolbthing5221 Oh I did that. Many times. Derms are the same. ‘Bloodwork okay? Sorry, can’t help you.’ Luckily I found help from a hairstylist on TikTok!
I am a menopausal woman, started thinning since I was 35 yr, had very straight hair, now it's gone curly, coarse and thinning on top, what to do?
Nadine, don’t you want to update your retinoic acid hardcore journey?! I’d love to hear it! Tks! You’re great!!!
what can you use to protect sun damage? do the thermal protectors do anything or is it a waste of time?
Girl, I LOVE your videos, but your audio is difficult sometimes. I find myself having to turn the volume up and down a lot (watching from my computer). I watch a lot of UA-camrs, and this is different than most of the others I watch. Just some constructive feedback. I STILL LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
Thank you so much for this video.❤️❤️
Very informative! Thank you !
I would point out that your GP will not arrange blood tests just because you want to take the results to a Trichologist. There has to be a medical reason why you need them.
Wow! Thank you both 🙏
Thanks Nadine great help ❤️💐😘🍀💄🛍
Excellent interview. Any chance we could get a list of fragrance and color free drugstore shampoos?
Tiiti neutrogena, Simple, Philip Kingsley x
When my hair loss was extreme, I started using natural progesterone cream and my hair stopped falling out in big clumps. I only use a few hairs with each wash now.
Thank you. Did you use this day 14 on til your period if you are premenopausal? I just started from ovulation to my period as my progesterone is low and I have a luteal phase defect. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@PandaA-cv3mm I used progesterone cream for PMS when I was younger.Now, I apply it because I am post menopausal and am not on HRT. I would research progesterone use by Dr. John R Lee, M.D., since he's the expert on the topic. That's what I did before I started using it.
Sassybanjo Thank you so much. Yes I know a bit about him. I’ll research it further for sure. You’re the best! Thanks and have a lovely weekend;)
Panda1122 A You’re welcome!! Have a great weekend!!
Great Interview but sound is sooo bad... 😫
O Wu sorry aircon buzz
Wish i could ask him if nioxin actually works. ?
@@minooverdi5459 Is there a particular Biotin dosage that's recommended for good results, or does it differ person to person...?
Lisa Cridhe No it is just One tablet a day. I get mine from EBay For about £4.70 for 30tablets.
14:45 listen closely, those type of products are mentioned.
I use nioxin shampoo and conditioner; it improved the health of my scalp and helped me hugely when I got stress alopecia; my hair grew back covering the patches and fine areas of hair loss . Now I have a fabulous head of hair and my hairdresser is amazed.
@@LadyBahama waw amazing! I always recommend it but have never hesrd of any success stories. So thank you for sharing yours. Thata great xx
Always had thick hair but since hitting 50 it was coming out in handfuls to the point it was blocking the plug. Since taking high dose daily Omega 3 I have noticed a huge reduction in hair loss but it did take at least 3/4 months.
Emily Lane that’s interesting about omega 3
I suffer with hashimotos hairloss, blood results are fine now medicated but hair still thinning
Wonder what he thinks of hair extensions on older fine hair.
My hair has never been thicker before; 4 yrs ago I went (almost) vegan and it has been the best thing for my hair, nails, skin and general health.
Hi Nadine, so informative did I hear him right head massage does not help to grow your hair longer.?
@Miss Tiddleywinks yeah maybe
OMG that's why I had thinning hair at the front of my head I never realised that getting the coil removed resulted in my hair going back to normal until now
Michelle S omg I’m on merena coil now for almost 5 years, and ever since my hair has been shedding like crazy. I had such thick hair and now it’s less than half. It’s due to be replaced, but I’m now going to remove it. It’s now hubbys turn to be snipped. We’re done having kids.
@@bakhtawarsidhwa yes mine was merena coil they didnt tell me hair thinning and loss was a possible side effect I'm glad I got it removed it all makes sense now 👍
@@billie5057 absolutely yes it did but I was always puzzled as to why it went through that phase now I know it can't be anything I have always had a healthy diet and enough B vitamins so don't worry 😁👍
Let him speak!
Hi Nadine I have Alopecia, I am 53yrs old and this only started last year, I have been to the doctors and got steroid creams and also have bought every expensive product out there.I have always had fabulous thick hair but now it's awful and not good.
More more, thank you for this excellent information. XoX
Fantastic video. 😚
Question: conditioner and Hairmask on the scalp or not on the scalp? For me it makes sense to apply on the scalp as it's skin and my skin is dehydrated. But I keep hearing people telling you only on the length...
Great video so informative xxxx
I am so frustrated I lived in The USA my blood tests showed borderline thyroid issues and I was given medication that really helped my hair skin and many other issues. NHS "OH there is nothing wrong you are just borderline." Minoxidil burned my scalp.
If ferritin is low, what supplements to take
Good video but i wish you would let him talk!
The Phillip Kingsley shampoo has SLS in it?
Very good info x
Love this guy !
Maybe a little off topic, I have natural curly hair but after I bleached it a year ago I tend to have loser curls. Even now a year after, all the bleached hair are gone the curls are gone too. Is there any solution to that?
Thanx for the video♥️
Long term vegan females I know do have thin hair. 2 of them lost a massive amount of hair after giving birth. Im not sure if they saw an MD about it.
Hi does his tablets ship international cheers good talk
Best thank you both
Some evidence that scalp PRP can help
Has anyone purchased his product or received treatment or a consultant from him ?
If so, did you see positive results ?
I’m a veggie have been for over 30 years and I take buckthorn oil tablets and my hair and nails are great I also take a vitamin tablet daily.
What drugs cause hair loss?
Thank you for such a useful video. I've finally gotten the answer I was looking for. I've suffered from androgenic alopecia since I was 14 years old. I've undergone various dermalogical treatments which include PRP, minoxidil, biotin supplements and consuming iron-rich food. however, the condition recurred once the treatments ended. looks like I need to take anti-androgenic medication among other things.
this was brilliant, so helpful!! thx to you both!!
Has anyone tried tweaked by nature brand?
Very helpful video!
The volume is very low.
You didn’t ask him about olaplex
Ali 07 he is not a fan but I really am x
