Help the environment and find more uses from one product. The sister company to The Ordinary, Chemistry Brand, has a tub of hyaluronic acid. It has a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate actually) so you can add just a little to other creams and it will still be effective.
@@Sleepless1123 they discontinued all brands except the ordinary and niod after their founder died (10 brands was...ambitious at best, but certainly spread them pretty thin).
I love how you guys don’t just talk gibberish throughout your videos, like talking about your day for the first 5 mins, straight to the point of what I originally intended to watch the video for thank you 😊
When hyaluronic acid started to trend, i bought it along with alpha arbutin and niacinamide. But it did not work for my skin. I woke up every day regretting that i spend so much of my saving on this product and it did not work. So, i just one day used it on the ends of my hair and OMG! My hair is sooooo healthy now, especially the ends ❤️❤️❤️
@@nishabihani8827 i wet my hair a little first (damp hair), apply the entire drop of hyaluronic acid lightly along the length of my hair, especially the bottom portion. Then follow up with a serum which is not thick/too oily. And u r good to go! I hope it helps ❤️
I didn't think this would work, but after only two days my hair is already more shiny and a lot less frizzy! Thank you so much for this video! I thought it was maybe the panthenol in the ordinary serum, but I used Rival de Loop 1,5% hyaluron (€4). That one doesn't have anything but preservative and sodium hyaluronate in the bottle. It worked amazing!!
@@danacalderon5861 I used it after blowdrying. Just leaving my hair slightly damp. I mixed it with a leave-in conditioner to make it easier to spread :)
As someone with very fine flat hair, I think I would still use this, just on the very ends of my hair where it is more damaged and no where near my scalp.
I have frizzy, unmanageable hair & already use coconut & argan oils to keep it healthy. This sounds like an exciting hack & I can’t wait to try it! 😊 I currently use a pricey Korean brand hyaluronic acid on my face so I’ll buy a cheaper brand for the hair. I’m so thankful that this information is free. Thanks doctors! 🙏😊
As a stylist of nearly a few years, I can share with you you, that you're not intended to apply harsh hair shampoo on your hair. I have observed hairlines of many people, and I observed that folks who were using strong shampoos generally had thin hair line. So I suggest only to use gentle shampoo cleanser only. I personally use and suggest to apply litttleextra cocconioon shampoo only. Also, do hot oil massage two times a week as it improves circulation and promotes hair.
I’ve been impressed because it has been just two months, and Cocoonion shampoo, conditioneer, and hair oil have worked and helped me to stop my hair fall.
@@SG-pu3rx L is for leave in conditioner, O is for oil to seal the hair cuticle and C for cream moisturizer at the end. I prefer LCO and doing oil last since it is supposed to lock in moisture.
thanks for this video. another way is to dissolve some unflavored gelatin (at Walmart) in hot water, 1 part to 10. gelatin is protein, like hair. Next let the mixture cool and then put into a spray bottle. spray on hair and allow to dry then style hair. gelatin will hold the hair naturally for many days. you may add fragrance to this hair spray. keep this in refrigerator when not using to preserve it. warm up by placing spray bottle in warm water if needed.
Been using ha mixed with whatever oil I have on hand, on my wet triple bleached hair for years now. Works great! People always ask how my bleached hair can look so healthy and smooth
Omg!!! This was an immediate result for my hair. I decided to use a skin toner originally packaged in a spray mist bottle and lightly mist my hair after flat ironing and naturally wearing it curly. My hair continued to have a nice shine and not become dry, brittle and frizzy, like usual. So, I say, definitely try it💓💖💓
Right! I have wavy/curly hair but it's pretty damaged and i would not be able to brush it at all without it looking like hay but the curls also wouldn't stay because it's damaged so i had to brush. I just used the ordinary serum on my hair for the first time and i brushed it and it actually stayed wavy and it didn't get puffy
I just bought a hyaluronic acid serum to use in conjunction with niacinamide serum that I have recently started using (to prevent skin cancer). I am also taking niacinamide orally. I have seen a big difference in the look and feel of my skin in the last month. Tonight I researched hyaluronic acid to make sure it doesn't have any negative effects on glaucoma, heart, cholesterol, skin cancer and hair loss (things I deal with). I was surprised to see articles regarding hyaluronic acid and pancreatic, breast, bladder, prostate, lung and colon cancer (feeds tumors) and hiding a diagnosis of liver disease. I am now afraid to use it topically, or take it orally!
@@msbeautyboss3784 Medical research based. Abstracts, studies, trials, etc. I feel comfortable using it topically now, and discovered it is in the cream/lotion that I use (CeraVe). Don't think I would take it orally though, especially if you have any of those cancers, or are genetically pre-disposed to getting them.
I cannot use any leave in hair products on my hair without causing backne. So for over 10 years I have been using facial gels on my hair ends. For the past 3 years or so, I have been using the Neutrogena Hydroboost gel cream (has HA in it) on my ends on slightly damp hair. 😊
@@NadjaNatasha thank you for your comment. I'm not sure if you are referring to my bacne? But if you are, I have not had bacne for about a decade. My last step in my shower routine is to wash my face then my back with a facial cleanser for sensitive skin. 😊
Have you heard of Seen hair care? Their line was developed by a dermatologist; I don't believe it has HA in in, but it is designed not to cause breakouts. They have scented and unscented shampoos, conditioners, and styling creams.
@@stacyharvey1383 thank you for your comment. Their products sound pretty amazing!

OMG I had never heard of HA for the hair. I'm going to try it on the ends and then seal it in with Argan Oil that I have at home. TY Sexy Docs (lol) for another great video and a great idea.
I have low porosity and very dense/thick straight hair, whenever I have tried to do scalp care the build up from oils, creams, and treatments with protein will just inflame my scalp. When I need moisture in my scalp that I cannot get from hair products, I use the ordinary hyaluronic acid right after I shower. I’m not worried at all about hair volume, in fact I have a bit too much of it, and hyaluronic acid is just light enough compared to other products to actually help bring moisture to my scalp! I know this video is for the actual hair itself, but if you are similar to me and struggling to find a way to bring moisture to your scalp, I’d say giving it a try is worth it.
Hi I have low porosity hair too. Are you using clarifying shampoo? I use it once every two weeks (and sometimes more often if I used a lot of product). When I use clarifying shampoo I focus on washing and massaging my scalp. I shampoo twice. Also Nizoral is good for inflamed scalp.
Hello. I hope you’re both doing okay, both of you seemed a little different than usual today. We all appreciate you a ton for consistently giving us so much valuable information and such fun content, thank you. Take care of yourselves . Lots of love!
I use the ceraVe renewing SA cleanser on my scalp I swear it’s the best most shampoos and dandruff shampoos irritate and make my scalp dry and breakout my hair is so shiny and haven’t had a breakout ever since !!
Hello! You guys are an absolute delight together and I've been regularly watching your content and love the way you approach topics and how informative and fun you make it. I had a doubt and would appreciate if you could cover it in a short video in the future. I wanted to know how granactive retinoid is different from other retinoids and retinols in terms of effectiveness and irritability. Love from your Indian fans 🇮🇳♥️
I have added a few drops of hyaluronic acid to my mascara for years to help condition my lashes but also make them look thicker. I don’t know why mascara companies don’t routinely add hyaluronic acid to mascara yet? HA is such a buzzy ingredient and it wouldn’t hurt their sales to add it themselves.
Excellent tips thank you. I have silver hair which can be wiry and dry at times. I will have to try adding this to my routine but I have lately been putting The Ordinary Amino Acids + B5 into my hair at night before bed and the next day my hair is soft and manageable. As it is lightweight it doesn't feel oily or greasy and it does add shine.
People with shorter haircuts on the whole do not tend to suffer from dry, damaged ends because the scalp produces oils that keep the cuticle in good condition. As the hair grows and becomes more distant from the scalp the hair does not benefit from those oils and dries out. This is why shampoo is primarily for cleaning the scalp, the rest of the hair is cleaned as it is rinsed out, conditioner is for the distant ends and the parts that get tangled.
Dr. Shah there was a lab research article that stated the Hyaluronic acid our bodies make can hold 1000x it’s weight in water however external sources can only hold up to maximum 50x it’s weight in water making glycerin, and some mushrooms far better humectants
i applied hyaluronic acid to my scalp added conditioner in smalll amounts then sprayed on minoxidil then appied a wig cap overnight and the hair regrows strong. minoxidil never worked good alone and now it does.
Dr. Shah, you NEED to use Got2B Powder’ful Volumizing hair powder in your hair. You just shake a tiny (and I really mean tiny) amount down on your roots (under the parts of your hair you want lifted) and using your fingers tips, muss up that area to the roots and then smooth the hair over it. It’s basically a teasing powder but it does the teasing for you. I have very fine hair and I use this stuff all the time or my hair would just go flat to my scalp. A small bottle lasts forever and is pretty cheap in the first place.
You can also get a container (small container with lid or a new or unused salt shaker), put cornstarch (or arrowroot, although I never tried arrowroot, or rice powder), add a few drops of rosemary essential oil or any skin safe essential oil that you like, mix ingredients, shake it onto your roots, shake it and spread the power through your roots with your fingers, and there you go! Natural diy dry shampoo and root volumizer without all the artificial ingredients and harsh and unnecessary chemicals! 😉 Hope it works for you if you read this or anyone else reading this!
while looking for a glycerin free conditioner, I saw one from pantene that mentioned that it has hyaluronic acid and was wondering why it was explicitly on the front of the package. Now I know and my hair loves it :)
Even Alovera gel works amazing as it's a humectant too like hyaluronic acid!!! I do this take a spray bottle fill it only half way add half spoon of alovera gel and add 10-15 drops of coconut oil works well
Hi guys always great content , please can you do a video on hairloss due to sebum , seborrheic dermatitis and or psoriasis. Shampoo and hair treatments to get rid of it. Suffering with this throughout the whole body.
Super helpful thank you! I have colored hair so I think it sounds good for me. I love that you share specific product recs too. P.S. Dr. Shah your hair looks great 😀
As someone who creates formulations, all good advice although I disagree in using pure argan oil or any plant oil in your hair. It will weigh your hair down and make it greasy. Purchase a well formulated hair oil if you have no experience in making one.
@@mimivee5494 this will actually depend on your hair type. Thick and curly can take a bit more plant oil. Look at the ingredients. Avoid 100% plant oils. I would say look for cyclopentasiloxane/dimethicone. It's a great lightweight ingredient but some people have issues with silicones (doctorly can help clear up the misinformation). There are natural alternatives but they're proprietary and will cost more. Plant esters and/or hemi-squalane from the ordinary may work too to lighten the formula.
Hey Drs Shah and Maxfield, this was fantastic content. Can you clarify how a hyaluronic acid product would fit into a routine including heat based hair styling(blow drying or straightening)?
I would use it after heat. If you draw more water into your hair and then apply heat, I would think it could cause a lot of damage. Use something more silicone-ish to protect the hair while using heat. Then ince cooled, maybe spray hyaluronic acid to ends.
Coconut oil really gets absorbed into the hair, so if it's dry, put that on first. Then use argan oil, this is actually a heat conducting oil (coconut oil is not) so the heat will do less damage.
@@DaniHMcV Wouldn’t the silicone (dimethicone, etc) based products shield the hair? I wonder if anything applied after, like the hyaluronic serum, even work if applied after. 🤷♀️ Anyone?
@@freestylestuntkayak I found jojoba oil (which I use for face since this thinner oil is very similar to sebum - face oils), that’s great for oily and acne prone skin as well, worked amazing on my thin hair and dry ends on a daily basis. I use coconut oil on the middle to ends when my hair is a little dryer and needs extra care and recovery. Or I use it on a diy hair mask (sometimes I mix some of these or all of these to make my mask: coconut oil, olive oil, raw egg or mayo, banana if I have it and honey, maybe avocado if I have it). Just don’t use coconut oil in your face if you have combination to oily skin since coconut oil is comedogenic (can clog pores). Hope this helps some people out there! 😃 👋
Hi, I just learned that there is an oral hyaluronic acid supplement that you can take for skin. Is it at all helpful ? And, actually, while I am asking, what do you think of oral supplements that claim to help skin in general?
I take niacinamide to help reduce skin cancer risk (23%). I also use it as a face serum. I've seen significant improvement in the look and feel of my skin! Hyaluronic acid taken orally can "feed" certain cancers, so I don't feel comfortable taking it
It definitely flattens the hair but my hairs overall look and feel is hair health goals. I’ve bleach treated my hair for years. I stopped about 8months ago. But still my ends are crisper than kernel sanders chicken. But omg after two washes, finishing my wet hair with this, my hair is soft the friz is gone and the shine is blinding. Maybe I’ll just apply to the treated areas instead of the entire scalp but this is definitely something we should all be doing for our hair.
I have some leftover HA for the face that I will probably start using for my hair. I had to stop using it for my face because once I started using Differin, HA started to burn on my skin!! Glad I have a use for it now and don’t have to throw it away.
Wow, same for me with Tazorac. I thought it was just me! I can’t imagine why that would happen. Thought the hyaluronic acid would be the gentle option, but it burned like hell.
I love love how informative and fun your videos are Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield and my skin care routine has improved a whole lot because of you! (I know you have yet to cover a lot of topics and I hope an in depth discussion/tips for dry scalp would come into mind. 😊) Anywho, I came from a university that promoted and continues to promote the use of evidence-based practice and I appreciate how you guys make use of it in your videos! You continue to inspire and educate a lot of people and I hope you continue doing these videos. 🤗🤗🤗
Thanx for ur very informative and amusing videos. Greatly appreciated. I'm wondering, you have never mentioned any of the timeless products. I'd really like to know ur opinion about them. Vitamin C , E, Ferulic Acid. Q 1O. Synthetic Metrixyl. Etc. Greetings from Algeria 😀.
Video ideas: - basics of haircare video. - deep dive on the effect that diet has on acne. - deep dive on clascoterone cream (winlevi.) I remember hearing about this from my dermatologist when it was still going through stages of being approved and I would love to know more about it! I have been on prescription retinoids for almost two years for my acne and I want to know if winlevi would be an even better option for my acne than retinoids. Ultimately these are just ideas, I love any content you put out and I understand you are both super busy as full time dermatologists, so I am forever grateful for any and all content you give us. Thank you as always for the awesome content!
It does make the hair heavier but for me with curly hair it actually helps my hair stick to its natural curlyness, i dont know why but it makes my curls stick together..
I’ve been using Buffet on my face for months and have noticed that my eyebrows are not only thicker but have gone back to their original colour (dark brown) & become thicker, as have the hairs along my hairline. I’m 57 with white hair!
GUYS, I have been using Hydro Gel Boost from Neutrogena with Hyaluronic acid. It started to BURN my skin extensively and even gave me BREAKOUTS. Why is this product acting so bad on my skin!? Can you please do a video on that?😩
Dear Doctors, how would someone know if it were the Hyaluronic acid or the vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) that was responsible for the hair improvement, in this video?
Would love to see a video of our Salicylic Acid skin care products on the scalp to clear out pores for those of us that have an over production of skin cells and oil in our scalp.
At what level of humidity should you use HA? You always hear that in low humidity environments, it can actually suck moisture from your skin versus the air (I don't know if this is true, just what I've heard), so I was curious if there were numbers on this?
What Rachel B said is correct. You need to seal in the moisture just as you would if you put HA on your face then sealed with a water based facial cream. For hair, an alternative is also Aloe Vera juice. You can look up how this is used in hair to retain moisture. You would need to seal the moisture as well with a light or heavy product depending on the thickness of your strands, hair type and porosity.
@@moroniethecreator Thank you so much! If you know, would Dr. Jart's ceramidin cream be a good option for "sealing" the HA for the face? If you don't know, that's okay! I really appreciate your advice.
hey, your smile suits you very well :) I have a question for the both of you, can you also just add the acid in your own shampoo? If you have a sulfate alcohol free shampoo? I am very curious! thanks for all the knowledge and good vibes you guys give. It makes my day
I use that for blepharitis, but I just use unscented leave in conditioner, but I guess my problem is more tangles and friz due to moisture rather than damage. But neat, because I know it works for eyelashes to keep things clean and smooth.

I’m so excited for this! I’m here for the new hair care videos! Love them! 😍❤️
i applied hyaluronic acid to my scalp added conditioner in smalll amounts then sprayed on minoxidil then appied a wig cap overnight and the hair regrows strong.
minoxidil never worked good alone and now it does.
Thank you for including if it works for low/high porosity hair, I have low porosity and I have such a hard time finding products that work!
That’s amazing! Thank you for this video!! How about Niacinamide or Centella Asiatica for hair growth?
Dr. Shah, you NEED to use Got2B Powder’ful Volumizing hair powder in your hair. You just shake a tiny (and I really mean tiny) amount down on your roots (under the parts of your hair you want lifted) and using your fingers tips, muss up that area to the roots and then smooth the hair over it. It’s basically a teasing powder but it does the teasing for you. I have very fine hair and I use this stuff all the time or my hair would just go flat to my scalp. A small bottle lasts forever and is pretty cheap in the first place.
You can also get a container (small container with lid or a new or unused salt shaker), put cornstarch (or arrowroot, although I never tried arrowroot, or rice powder), add a few drops of rosemary essential oil or any skin safe essential oil that you like, mix ingredients, shake it onto your roots, shake it and spread the power through your roots with your fingers, and there you go! Natural diy dry shampoo and root volumizer without all the artificial ingredients and harsh and unnecessary chemicals! 😉 Hope it works for you if you read this or anyone else reading this!
Is it damaging to the hair?
Ive used it for about a month and can say it dose work i have fine curly hair and it has done wonders
The Hada Labo Hyaluronic acid is great for this. Great video thank you. 💙🙏🏻🕊🌞
The Dollar tree has HA. I bought 6 bottles and tried it. I definitely saw results after 3 days. My hair is to my waist so I just use it on the ends.
This right here thooooo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have that set brand. How do you apply it and how often do you use it?
while looking for a glycerin free conditioner, I saw one from pantene that mentioned that it has hyaluronic acid and was wondering why it was explicitly on the front of the package. Now I know and my hair loves it :)
My favourite hair mask from pantene was discontinued some years ago. Its main active ingredient was hyaluronic acid.
Would you guys give us a brief chemistry class and tell us which serums should not be mixed and which are optimal together?
Even Alovera gel works amazing as it's a humectant too like hyaluronic acid!!! I do this take a spray bottle fill it only half way add half spoon of alovera gel and add 10-15 drops of coconut oil works well
This is terrific!!! Shall be trying this out this weekend!! Thank you!
I’ve been waiting for a longer video since the Tik tok video. I figured “might help, can’t hurt.” So far, so good.
I'm a big fan of Argan oil, because you know... Morocco 😁😍😍😍 And I'm a big fan of you from Morocco 🇲🇦 Thank you for the amazing videos !
I honestly wish y’all could upload everyday💓
I just love how Dr Maxfield looks at Dr Shah.
Hi guys always great content , please can you do a video on hairloss due to sebum , seborrheic dermatitis and or psoriasis. Shampoo and hair treatments to get rid of it. Suffering with this throughout the whole body.
Would love this too!
Thanks for this, I've been speculating about trying it out for my very dry hair, now I know for certain that it's worth a try!
Great guys watched it twice to make sure I got all the good info!
Super helpful thank you! I have colored hair so I think it sounds good for me. I love that you share specific product recs too.
P.S. Dr. Shah your hair looks great 😀
As someone who creates formulations, all good advice although I disagree in using pure argan oil or any plant oil in your hair. It will weigh your hair down and make it greasy. Purchase a well formulated hair oil if you have no experience in making one.
How do you know what to purchase
@@mimivee5494 this will actually depend on your hair type. Thick and curly can take a bit more plant oil. Look at the ingredients. Avoid 100% plant oils. I would say look for cyclopentasiloxane/dimethicone. It's a great lightweight ingredient but some people have issues with silicones (doctorly can help clear up the misinformation). There are natural alternatives but they're proprietary and will cost more. Plant esters and/or hemi-squalane from the ordinary may work too to lighten the formula.
Hey Drs Shah and Maxfield, this was fantastic content. Can you clarify how a hyaluronic acid product would fit into a routine including heat based hair styling(blow drying or straightening)?
I hope you don't mind me answering. My suggestion is you use HA as a sort of treatment or hair mask to restore moisture after excessive heat styling.
I would use it after heat. If you draw more water into your hair and then apply heat, I would think it could cause a lot of damage. Use something more silicone-ish to protect the hair while using heat. Then ince cooled, maybe spray hyaluronic acid to ends.
Coconut oil really gets absorbed into the hair, so if it's dry, put that on first. Then use argan oil, this is actually a heat conducting oil (coconut oil is not) so the heat will do less damage.
@@DaniHMcV Wouldn’t the silicone (dimethicone, etc) based products shield the hair? I wonder if anything applied after, like the hyaluronic serum, even work if applied after. 🤷♀️ Anyone?
@@freestylestuntkayak I found jojoba oil (which I use for face since this thinner oil is very similar to sebum - face oils), that’s great for oily and acne prone skin as well, worked amazing on my thin hair and dry ends on a daily basis. I use coconut oil on the middle to ends when my hair is a little dryer and needs extra care and recovery. Or I use it on a diy hair mask (sometimes I mix some of these or all of these to make my mask: coconut oil, olive oil, raw egg or mayo, banana if I have it and honey, maybe avocado if I have it). Just don’t use coconut oil in your face if you have combination to oily skin since coconut oil is comedogenic (can clog pores). Hope this helps some people out there! 😃 👋
Welcome to Morocco dr shah... Thank you so much you've helped me a lot in my skin care routine.
Hi, I just learned that there is an oral hyaluronic acid supplement that you can take for skin. Is it at all helpful ? And, actually, while I am asking, what do you think of oral supplements that claim to help skin in general?
No. It is a scam. Your gastric acid will "kill" the HA
I take niacinamide to help reduce skin cancer risk (23%). I also use it as a face serum. I've seen significant improvement in the look and feel of my skin! Hyaluronic acid taken orally can "feed" certain cancers, so I don't feel comfortable taking it
@@kanashawnee Do you have a study to support your claim, please? Because I have not come across this info before.
The dove hyaluronic acid shampoo and conditioner are my favourite for my curly hair, I wish there were more styling products w hyaluronic acid tho😐
How does it work w/ your hair texture?..
@@lasetlivingstin7752 what do you mean? In terms of using it consistently I find my hair retains moisture better and is just more manageable.
Check out Curlsmith’s Scalp Receipe line! The Hydro Style Flexi Jelly has tons of hyaluronic acid :) Quite pricey but worth it!
@@zadorzsofia thanks!
@@zadorzsofia thank you! Sadly I live in Canada so it’s quit difficult trying to get curl smith products🥲
Loving the colour palette in this vid!
New information. Appreciate It👏👏. God bless you 😇 both
It definitely flattens the hair but my hairs overall look and feel is hair health goals. I’ve bleach treated my hair for years. I stopped about 8months ago. But still my ends are crisper than kernel sanders chicken. But omg after two washes, finishing my wet hair with this, my hair is soft the friz is gone and the shine is blinding. Maybe I’ll just apply to the treated areas instead of the entire scalp but this is definitely something we should all be doing for our hair.
A video on before and after workout skincare(do we need it? What to do?) please
I use cerave moisturizer in my hair when damp works well. I have long curly hair makes my curls look good too.
Docs, thank you so much for this!! Can you please make more videos about the scalp and hair?
Listening from Bonnie Scotland so helpful thanks 😊
I have some leftover HA for the face that I will probably start using for my hair. I had to stop using it for my face because once I started using Differin, HA started to burn on my skin!! Glad I have a use for it now and don’t have to throw it away.
Wow, same for me with Tazorac. I thought it was just me! I can’t imagine why that would happen. Thought the hyaluronic acid would be the gentle option, but it burned like hell.
This might sound dumb but you guys are so pretty 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the info and nice content
Another helpful video! Thanks!
What about Niacinimide for seborric dermatitis? Thank you so much for all your content you guys are the best and so fun to listen too!
I will definitely be trying this. Thanks guys!
I love love how informative and fun your videos are Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield and my skin care routine has improved a whole lot because of you!
(I know you have yet to cover a lot of topics and I hope an in depth discussion/tips for dry scalp would come into mind. 😊)
Anywho, I came from a university that promoted and continues to promote the use of evidence-based practice and I appreciate how you guys make use of it in your videos! You continue to inspire and educate a lot of people and I hope you continue doing these videos. 🤗🤗🤗
Hey love the content!!! Would you consider doing tips on full body skin routine?
I'll try it! Thank you!
Super video 😀. Thank you doctors.
Thanx for ur very informative and amusing videos. Greatly appreciated. I'm wondering, you have never mentioned any of the timeless products.
I'd really like to know ur opinion about them. Vitamin C , E, Ferulic Acid. Q 1O. Synthetic Metrixyl. Etc.
Greetings from Algeria 😀.
Sounds perfect for my frizzy curly hair tbh, imma try
Video ideas:
- basics of haircare video.
- deep dive on the effect that diet has on acne.
- deep dive on clascoterone cream (winlevi.) I remember hearing about this from my dermatologist when it was still going through stages of being approved and I would love to know more about it! I have been on prescription retinoids for almost two years for my acne and I want to know if winlevi would be an even better option for my acne than retinoids.
Ultimately these are just ideas, I love any content you put out and I understand you are both super busy as full time dermatologists, so I am forever grateful for any and all content you give us. Thank you as always for the awesome content!
Hi,there! Shwartzkof has a moisture solution with HA in it that comes with a pump or spray that is excellent! Recomend...
Hello guys! Thank you so much for this video. Will be very helpful for me, I have high porosity hair.
I’ve been using the Neutrogena hydro boost shampoo and conditioner, and my hair is healthier and hydrated since using it.
It does make the hair heavier but for me with curly hair it actually helps my hair stick to its natural curlyness, i dont know why but it makes my curls stick together..
Would love to know what you think about Sarah Ingle's videos about the myth of dry hair!
What products do you recommend for hair loss? Oil, shampoo...etc. Is Mielle and Nioxin good for hair loss? Thx!!!
I’ve been using pumpkin seed oil, rosemary oil and caffeine (i made a mixture) and after some months I’m already seeing some baby hairs growing
I was waiting for this ever since the message was sent on the discord server ♥️
Love it that you're on the discord! -Dr. Maxfield
I would love to know what you think about the ordinary multi-peptide serum for hair density? 😊
Yesss I'd love to get their opinion on that product!!
I’ve been using Buffet on my face for months and have noticed that my eyebrows are not only thicker but have gone back to their original colour (dark brown) & become thicker, as have the hairs along my hairline. I’m 57 with white hair!
Wow!! Thank you! I am going to try this!
Have you guys watched Sarah Ingle's video about "dry hair" and the science behind it? Very informative and could be useful with this video.
I have really weird hair, it’s really frizzy and curly at the bottom but the top lacks volume and is really flat.
The laughter and jokes is always a highlight esp Dr Maxfields crinkly eyes ☺️
So cute!
GUYS, I have been using Hydro Gel Boost from Neutrogena with Hyaluronic acid. It started to BURN my skin extensively and even gave me BREAKOUTS. Why is this product acting so bad on my skin!?
Can you please do a video on that?😩
Dear Doctors, how would someone know if it were the Hyaluronic acid or the vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid) that was responsible for the hair improvement, in this video?
Love this! Thanks 🙏🏾!!
Would love to see a video of our Salicylic Acid skin care products on the scalp to clear out pores for those of us that have an over production of skin cells and oil in our scalp.
Oh that’s interesting. Does that work?
At what level of humidity should you use HA? You always hear that in low humidity environments, it can actually suck moisture from your skin versus the air (I don't know if this is true, just what I've heard), so I was curious if there were numbers on this?
@@raixbd THANK YOU!!! I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know!
I use it at a dew point (absolute humidity) of 14C and higher.
@@nadiakabbani990 That's so helpful!! Thank you!!
What Rachel B said is correct. You need to seal in the moisture just as you would if you put HA on your face then sealed with a water based facial cream. For hair, an alternative is also Aloe Vera juice. You can look up how this is used in hair to retain moisture. You would need to seal the moisture as well with a light or heavy product depending on the thickness of your strands, hair type and porosity.
@@moroniethecreator Thank you so much! If you know, would Dr. Jart's ceramidin cream be a good option for "sealing" the HA for the face? If you don't know, that's okay! I really appreciate your advice.
Hey Doc can you talk about PRP treatment for thin hair or balding , is it permanent ?
Very helpful. Thanks!
hey, your smile suits you very well :) I have a question for the both of you, can you also just add the acid in your own shampoo? If you have a sulfate alcohol free shampoo? I am very curious! thanks for all the knowledge and good vibes you guys give. It makes my day
I use that for blepharitis, but I just use unscented leave in conditioner, but I guess my problem is more tangles and friz due to moisture rather than damage. But neat, because I know it works for eyelashes to keep things clean and smooth.
You use ha for eyelashes ? Which brand do you use ?
@@lisagardner4814 The stuff I got was from my optometrist, I think it's called lid-n-lash. It's a huge help as my eyes sometimes get that crusty stuff and it can hurt.
Maybe mix in glycerin in leave in conditioner and lock it in with a serum
That's a good idea but I'm afraid that would weigh down hair, and make them limp
I think it works to moisturize however it will not stop your hair from splitting and will not reverse damaged hair and split ends!
I've got the Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Hyaluronic Moisture Kick Spray Conditioner and it works miracles 👌😊
