I just wanted to jump on here to clarify something. I deal with patients with hair loss on a daily basis and I am always looking for tricks to help with the illusion. Just wanted to explain medications. Rogaine is an over the counter topical application that changes the cycle of your hair. So it does not regrow hair that is gone. It takes hair that is sleeping and wakes it up. It is not a cure so if you stop using it then you again change the growth cycle and that hair will quickly shed. If you have not seen a specialist in female pattern balding, there are medications that can help you inhibit more loss. There are treatments such as PRP or Stem Cell therapy that can help thicken hair that is still there but miniaturizing but again not a permanent cure. A hair transplant will move hair permanently but it does nothing to stop loss of the native hair so it is combining things that can give true long lasting results.
I’ve wanted to shave my head almost bald but I have a lot of scars and little random dents from picking at these bumps I get the from my doctor curing open a cyst and packing it and draining over and over so I don’t think my head almost bald will look good 😢
Ive been thinking about shaving my head. May i know how old are yall? Im 33 and my hair is thin asf. And I've got a lot of hair fall everyday in the shower and when im brushing my hair
Hi Gina. You're SO REAL @ how refreshing THAT is!...in such a FAKE world w Fake-ass people. You've lifted many spirits w your warm @ funny character, during ur very personal videos.
I feel EXACTLY the same way. In fact, I don't comb my hair unless I've just washed it and need to. It's very very scary. It takes me quite a long time to gently pick thru my hair. In fact, this is the reason I have not had my hair cut for more than a year. It's getting to the point now, however, that I fear the length of my hair is causing more hair loss. I'm biting the bullet today and getting it cut.
I wish I was brave like you. I’m emotionally devastated and wonder if I’ll even find anyone that will love me bald :( . I know it’s vain but it makes me so insecure
I used to have enough hair for 3 people and from 48 on I started to loss it by the hand and brushfulls. I am 65 and have lost at least 65% of my hair! Doctors are no help. You are so right and it is emotionally devastating!! I am thinking you are in your 30's also. Look into a really good wig! That is what I am doing even though I am not at the age with this that everyone figures I should not care. But it sure messed with my singing career and performing in my 40's and up to 60. You have every right to be concerned! It is not vanity! It is reality!
I've been dealing with this for a long time. I just found silk hair toppers and I have to say that is the best thing. I am going to I push my real hair out and then put on the topper or even a wig. Looks so very nice!
I have extreme hairfall like way too extreme and this was because of stress and iron defeciency my haemoglobin was low and through these I went through alot of hairfall and now my hair is. Very thin very thin I have bald spots quite but I try to hide it and I can't tie ponny tails neither a bun because if I tie pony it looks very thin and my bun also looks very small I used have my hair very thick and pretty and my bun would be Soo big but now I can't tie anything except a braid (single braid) even though my hair fall has stopped quite alot like j loose only less than 100 hairs nowadays but waiting for hair growth So what I did was I started eating banana which have biotin and orange with have vitamin c that helps in absorption of iron and also 4 dates per day ( 4 dates per day are good to go) I wash my hair 2 a week Once I oil and shampoo conditioner it and do a black tea hair rinse Second time I mask my hair shampoo conditioner and then followed by a rice water hair rinse I hope this helps u out and also pls forgive me for spelling mistakes
I'm in tears rn I really respect you for being so straightforward and brave showing your hairs like that. I want to be brave and courageous enough like u to speak what I want srsly
Awww u made me cry im 32 having hair loss 2 and i use that exact product every day ... i never thought I would find someone who understands the struggle Thank u Thank u xoxo God bless u
Biotin helped me a bit but my hair is still thin due to my thyroid. I'm sorry you are so young going thru this. It's definitely depressing. God bless u.
@@kikibalden7462 both of you ladies it is good to cry just so long as it does not overtake you. I know it’s hard, but I pray and listen to healing verses, Christian music, and try to stay positive all day long. It definitely helps. 🙏💫🦋. August 12, 2020
I have been receiving Rituximab infusions for over a year and half and am swapping to Imuran & methotrexate- all to make my lupus pretend to dissipate. I’ve been looking at videos and such about hair systems and what to do when I lose all of my hair- I’m middle eastern and used to have very, very thick and long dark hair. I just watched your video and I want to tell you that you are quite possibly the most beautiful human I have ever seen. You’re lovely on the outside and the inside!! Don’t you let it bother you one bit that you must cover the thinning spots- you’d be gorgeous bald, thick hair, long or short. It’s YOU. Just a darling woman. God bless you for making this video and giving other women like me realize the only person’s opinion that matters is your own!!
Sounds like me. I've started noticing bald spots as a teen and now I just keep my hair In a bun. It's so hard especially having curly hair. I'm 31 and have never had the courage or money to see a doctor here in America.
You're a breath of fresh air. :-) Thank goodness there are more people like me in the world who know it can feel sad to have very thin, very fine hair, but not care about those who are too high maintenance who might think we're ugly/slobby or whatever. Screw the bullies!
I tried this and liked it but it made my hair sooo dry that it was breaking even more. I feel stupid for letting my hair rule my life so much but I really struggle at 28. I remember when I was 16 a classmate asking me if I was going bald and another nodding in agreement, I'd never noticed (even though soon it would have been very obvious) but immediately after that I stared at myself and analysed my hair and from then on I was very aware and sensitive about it. My scalp is also very greasy so worst of both worlds, I try not to wash it too much but if I don't wash it every day then I have to wear a hat even though I've heard that's also bad for hair. Sometimes you just can't win. I considered things like a wig but I'm at an age where my friend group are the same people and it would be incredibly obvious, I think they'd support me but it's me who can't bear the thought of everyone I know knowing I'm wearing a wig... Also the idea of meeting someone interested in you and feeling like a fraud and knowing you have to show them. Sometimes I want to shave it but I know that I'm so bald that as it grows back it would look even more awful. Also I can't talk about it ever because noone around me has anything like it (of course there are worse things..) and if I mention my self esteem problems to my mum she cries because she has a full head of thick hair at 60 and feels guilty and I hate making her feel that way. Recently my mum showed me a picture of when I was 16 because she found it, I remember thinking I had no hair and feeling really bad but I actually had two thick plaits and it made me burst in to tears for my past self feeling that way and also in loss. Which sounds stupid because it's only hair, but hopefully you know what I mean by that.
I empathize completely given I’m in a very similar situation. I began thinning at 15, now I’m 23 and this week was actually the first time I spoke to someone outside of my immediate family about it. For years I hid it, felt unworthy, ashamed. But after opening up to my boyfriend about it (and he didn’t even mind which was such a relief) I realized how badly our minds trick us. I assure you the weight you feel is because of a negative narrative your mind is feeding you. The moment you accept that your flaws are a part of you and you face that and share your struggles with others is the moment those flaws lose all their power, almost in an instant. It’s easier said than done for sure but just know you’re not alone and acceptance is on the other side of fear. I believe in you!
Pippa, My heart ❤️ goes out to you. Sometimes I feel down and out but I have to pull myself up with God helping me. I cannot do anything without Jesus. Pippa, you and zeee and Riba and me must be together. Support each other. I’ll pray for us all. That God’s Mighty Peace engulf us and that He open up the Window of Heaven and shower us with His Blessings. Love 💕 you. 🙏 🦋. August 15, 2020
I'm a hairdresser. I do this technique for some of my ladies. I use the root touch up spray. Sometimes a couple of colors need to be used to achieve the most natural look for their color. Regardless of what product is used, you are beautiful...inside and out. Thank you for sharing so that others experiencing the same issue have other options.
This is so emotional for me, I have had the most hair loss at the front center, I barely have any hair for a hairline. I used to this product but it's just not enough anymore. I appreciate your confidence and am still working on mine but it's a struggle everyday. People who don't deal with this may not understand how devastating it can be. I've gone to dermatologists, taken oral medicine, used topical medicine, tried topper wigs. I know this sounds selfish but I am grateful that I can work a few days a week from home right now. For the money I spend on covering my bald (that's what I refer to mine as too) I am actually thinking of hair transplant. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hey Teresa!! Thanks so much for sharing. Since this video mines gotten a lot lot worse. I absolutely understand what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I made a contract deal with the topper company to do a few more videos on it, and after that I'm making a video of shaving it all off. Stay tuned!!
Bless your heart💜 Your hair will grow back, I have seen alot of women that has had gastric sleeve their hair has came out but they said it eventually will grow back.. wish you the best sweetie ❤️
Hi Gina from a fellow Hair Loss UA-camr! Just wanted to reach out and say thank you, for helping to end the stigma. Together we can do it! Hugs from Toronto!
I am so proud of you for your wt. loss journey and dealing with hair loss with such a great attitude of self love and acceptance. You are adorable and an inspiration! Thank you for sharing some of your life with us!
I'm in this same situation and it felt really good to hear you talking about all the things I go through and think about. For a long time I was scared to touch my hair or mess with it at all. It got so thin and finally I decided there's no point in keeping it long. I cut it off to right below my ears and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Not only does the shorter length give it body by removing the extra weight but now that I'm not constantly putting it up it doesn't come out as much. I didn't realize how much tension was being put on it just by always keeping it up. I still have to use a spray like what you use but I'm hopeful that it'll start recovering a bit now that I can just leave it down.
Hi Brooke, your words here give me hope. I've been scared to death to get my hair cut but today I'm biting the bullet and getting a blunt bob. I am so hopeful that the shorter more healthy length will stop some of the shed. God bless sweet friend
Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency! I, too, suffer from hair loss on front and top of my head. I’m much older than you, however, so I guess I should consider it normal. I hate it and bought a topper w/bangs but found it wouldn’t clip on because there wasn’t enough hair. I love how upbeat you are though and am so glad I found your video!
Your definitely not alone! I’ve decided I will need to be a full time wig wearer. Too bad wig shops are not considered essential business at this time.
Cea Thank You! I suppose a. Bob wig would do. I think all face shapes can pull this off. Now do I want to be a brunette or a blonde? Best part about a wig is I can be both!
Your attitude is so amazing, which makes you so beautiful. Its so empowering when you say"WHO CARE🤷♀️", the Lord healed my mind, to not to focus on my issue and I did. Which was so freeing.
I have been battling gradual hair thinning and hair loss for the past 4 years, a little less of my scalp was visible compared to yours. I noticed using Batiste/dry shampoo was one of the biggest contributors after I cut it out and had better consistent growth after a couple of months that I couldn't get from hair growth shampoos or vitamins or anything else I tried. I looked it up and saw that other women have had the same issues with hair loss from this product and that dry shampoo actually smothers the hair follicle and scalp which leads to weak hair that breaks off and clogged pores that prevent new growth. It's only supposed to be used once or twice a week max and then rinsed out by the end of the day and I know I was using it daily to cover my spots for the past couple of years. Best of luck on your hair journey!
i am 16 and literally have the same problem my hair is coming out in clumps , it is so depressing that i cant do anything about it i am terrified if brushing and even washing my hair. kudos for your courage of posting this video and now atleast i feel less alone
i just want to say it takes courage to come on camera with flaws and all. I never could. That's why i admire people that do this for others so they can help them with it
This hit home for me, hard! I feel you girl!!! I could cry when I look at old pictures of myself with my thick pretty curly hair. Now I do the same thing sort of. I am 2 years out from gastric sleeve and have lost almost the same amount of weight. I am also a decade older than you are. I wear my hair the same way most of the time because of the horrible balding. I do have curly hair so I tease mine a bit while the dry shampoo is still "wet" then I use a freeze hair spray on it and comb it up to give it volume. I have no clue how to make a video on here or to show pictures but this technique is what I have been doing for over a year. I take vitamins and followed all the rules with getting my protein in but my hair is still thinning. I do have wigs in several styles and colors but most days I do just what you are doing. There is another type of dry shampoo that you can use called "not your mothers dry shampoo" or something and that works really good too. I got it at CVS on sale. You can contact me on facebook and see my pictures or whatever if you want to. Keep rocking ladies!! This is not easy to even share but for some reason your video hit me in the feels tonight!!
I have never bought a product so fast, watched this video this morning and went n bought this dry shampoo, which i didn't even know they sold. Used it n immediately started crying. Thank you thank you thank you, you have no idea how much this has helped me, i could not stop smiling and crying at the same time
Oh my gosh you just saved me from mental breakdown for my hair loss. I just started shedding about a month ago and with also my grays coming in at the roots it makes things worse. But this my dear is a life saver!!! Thank you so much!!! I will go look for some as soon as i get a chance! God bless you and having such a positive attitude. You made me feel so much better.
GINA THANK YOU HUN!!! I have terrible bald spots and you told me how to hide them with batiste dry shampoo ! tomorrow I am getting 2 cans of it!! thank you again!! like yourself I tried everything and nothing worked THANK YOU !! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!
Thank you , thank you, thank you! My sister and I are going through the same thing as you for years. Gonna call her now and tell her about this stuff. Love your attitude and you make me feel better about myself. God bless you and you rock!
i just wanted to say that you are such an incredible person, it takes much courage to come on camera with flaws and all. i admire people like you, such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing. I know it took a lot of guts to make the video, but please know you have helped a lot of women who are experiencing the same problem. God bless.
I only this week came across 'toppers'. Brilliant long hair pieces just for the top of the head, perfect for female pattern hair loss. Wishing you all the very best.
I'm so glad that I came across your video, my hair looks so much like yours. I've found that same brand of dry shampoo that you use and it sure has made a huge difference. For my edges I use Castor oil mixed with either coconut oil or rosemary oil, that has been great to help with new hair growth. My little bald spots are filling in with baby hair. Thank you for sharing your challenge with us who can relate. It's good to know that I'm not the only person who is going though hair loss. I've found a great support system here in the comments. Thank you for being so up beat and positive.
Fortunately its really socially acceptable to be a man with hair loss. I know that doesn't say much for your personal mental attribute to it. Nice to meet a fellow follicley challenged 💕
I just want to hang out with you. This is such a lonely, devastating thing to go through as a woman. Thank you for your positive attitude. I wish I could be like you.
I’m 22 and my hair is so thin and the more I lose weight the thinner it gets, and it’s all on the top of my head too... I’ve always struggled with my appearance and I’ve had people take advantage of me because of it, this video gave me a bit of hope
Amazing empowerment for other woman. It might sound crazy but try to change your eating habits to grow your hair. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, there was a point in time where it happened to me just a little corner on the side of my left head. I changed my eating habits and eventually gotten my hair back and it has never been more healthy. Trust it changed my life.
You're right about eating. I went through a period when I lost my older brother to cirrohsis and I stopped eating, I was so depressed I had no idea I was balding up front nor did it matter to me. After my brothers funeral my best friend/sister force fed me, we ate 4 meals plus healthy snacks in between. My hair literally started growing back almost instantly! Years later my hair just started falling out again.. Went to the dermatologist and he said it was genetics. I'm so sad and embarrassed by my scalp now I need to use wigs. Using with isn't embarrassing - it's fun! Anyways sorry for blabbing, I just wanted to share. Have a great day 🙂
Leilani Leilani oh wow, I’m sorry for your loss❤️, I understand. Doctors always say it’s Genetics however, we have a lot of daily stresses in our lives also. Don’t always trust in their words cuz sometimes with a little research and understanding about health it can change us. It doesn’t help with all our fast paced life either and our bodies have to adapt to it and take some minor toll. My "Doctor" prescribed some vitamin pills that had unnecessary ingredients and was un-beneficial & made me start vomiting and not wanting to eat which created stress hormones in my body, my hair would fall out. Be careful with those. Eventually I started eating healthier on a Vegan diet for a while, mind you I eat meat but I cut it out and started producing more growth, trust me, I’ve never been more astonished to a simple thing by eating healthier. You are definitely a strong willed beautiful woman! Keep being positive and ignore the haters. We all go through different things and I appreciate you sharing a piece of your life.
Please use fish oil and ABC (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot) juice in your daily routine. It works magically.. Use it Daily. Also change your routine life Do Exercise Get eight hours of sleep a night Take a walk every day 45 to 50 minutes. Don't let worries overwhelm you. Make your life happy Your baldness will soon be gone😊😊 Always Hope for best❤️
I usually cannot sit through even 2 minutes of a beauty vid, but you are so charming and real that these 12 minutes flew by. Your glasses are awesome! Your eyes are gorgeous, and you yourself are beautiful inside and out. Before I turned so gray, I used to use Bumble & Bumble ($$$) hair powder around my face just like you. Tip: I cut a paper plate into a crescent shape and I would move that around on my face to keep the color off.
I have the same issues and I use the same product!!!!! I have to use before makeup, bcuz it can leave splatter marks on your face, ears, etc. Also, if I were you, I would HIGHLY consider cutting your hair at least above the shoulders or even a little longer. I am telling you, it makes a HUGE difference!!! It awakens your hair, hair seems healthier, it LOOKS healthier and fuller and so much more. You look beautiful!!!!
I'm twenty one bro, this is happening to me rn, I can run my hands through my hair and come away with a significant chunk of it every time. The growth serum thing was getting too expensive to keep using on a regular basis, and I just didn't know what to do. Watching your video has made me feel better though, as has reading the comments. I've felt very helpless for a long time and it makes me so relieved to see that I can learn to work around it.
I so admire you for sharing this video. I am getting female pattern baldness and right now I have enough bangs in the front to tease up and then wear a fall in the back. Wig companies truly make wonderful hair toppers (all different varieties), wigs, falls, etc. that are lightweight and realistic. I get so many compliments on my hair and it sure does save me a lot of time. I get that a lot of women are reluctant to wear a wig but I went into a few wig shops and tried a few on and I have never looked back. But, I love your attitude and spunkiness and I think you look beautiful.
Funny how this video finds me today, I'm 36 and got my head, full of thick dense hair, shaved today morning. There are two reasons for it, one I'd treated my hair multiple times in the past and they just didn't feel like quality hair and the other reason is the magic potion that I'd be applying to check how fast is the growth going to be!! Magic potion can be a quick DIY: Boil curry leaves in water, once it cools down, optional to add a vitamin E oil (1 capsule) and 1 tbsp aloevera gel. Apply this potion on the hair or patches, it's a leave in. You may rinse it off too. Either way works. You'll notice baby hair sprouting back, irrespective the age! Give it a go 💓
This was SO helpful! I am so grateful for your vulnerability in sharing where your hair is at. Mine looks really similar. I have tried that product before but I think I didn’t like when it was chalky right away and didn’t give it a chance so seeing it combed in looks like it works way better! Also baby hair loss struggle is REAL!
Your hair loss pattern is ideal for a hair topper, not extensions or wigs. Get a topper with a wide enough cap. And you brush the length into your own length. They can't be worn straight out of box, you need to wear at home and give it time to shape itself. Then wear it to a salon so they can cut it in a way to blend better with your hair and style how you like.
Thanks for the brave videos! You have such grace. My hair loss started the same way..the crown. It has been severe and relentless for me too. After ruling out all the big stuff, I found keeping my ferritin levels up (desiccated liver or yellow dock) and my vitamin D levels up helped a great deal. I also tested positive for heavy metal poisoning. Hope these are some new ideas. Bob haircuts hide a multitude of thinning and evils. I have the bottom cut to be blunt bottomed. Then I part in the most favorable way. I will also do highlights to keep the hair coast to my scalp looking lighter in color which is less contrast to white scalp! It also gives the illusion of depth that isn't there. Hugs to you and all readers similarly afflicted.
I finally found a way to put my hair up (for work) that doesn't make me look bald. So if you take the front 3ish inches, pull the rest back, out of the way, and part down the middle. Then you'll take the front right section, put it in a little pony tail, do the same for the left. Take both of those and make one pony tail. Flip to the front door now. Take the back and put it in a pony. Pull the scrunchie down just a little. You'll take the front pony that you combined earlier and hold it above your head. Tuck the end of that pony into itself front to back. It will give you some volume. Then take that same front pony and tuck it in between a parted back pony tail and tada! You can find this on Pinterest too.
My heart is breaking for you. Please give yourself a hug, and a break. You said you’d had a gastric sleeve procedure a year ago. A HUGE metabolism shift. Then you did probably the only thing that could be more of a metabolic change, you had a baby! Hon, you created life! Are you nursing your little one? All of that will take a while to settle down and let you get to your new normal. Maybe your hair issue will improve, maybe not, but you are a strong resilient woman. You will continue to cope with it and live a rich and fulfilling life either way. Give yourself some time. By the way, my hair is thinning too, that’s why I wanted to watch your video, and my current method to disguise it is with eye shadow. You can get pretty cheap ones, in most any color add a coat of hair spray to make it stay put, and you’re good to go! Love and hugs. (PS just so we’re clear, I’m not saying you are responsible for what is going on. You made good decisions to improve your life! Celebrate 🎉)
Your so beautiful. Im 27 an also have pcos. Its horrible to get to that point where you realize dang i need to hide it. We are not alone. Thanks for the tips.
I am 57 and had this problem since age 24 for some reason my hair has gotten fuller (I praise the Lord. I pray daily for my hair) I use the powder but will give this product a try. Dealing with bald spots is not easy specially for a woman no matter what age you are.
Thank you! That is wonderful! I can't wait to try that. I am going to do that forever. I always wear my hair up bc it is so hot here in Austin and I also have to wear it up for work. I am so afraid of losing more hair from pulling that I always wear it right on top of my head, not back where your pony is. Plus, tension headaches suck. Like where Ariana Grande puts hers up top but not pulled back so sleek and maybe an inch closer to my forehead. I also try to loosen it slightly in the very front to drape it slightly forward on my forehead to hide my receding hairline some like Melania does hers. You look great! I love your attitude! I am so glad you have found a working solution and are getting out there and enjoying your life. I know we can spend so much time worrying in front of our mirror that we can start to hideout. Thanks again! Good luck on your journey! I have faith in you!
I just want to say I'm a fellow cyster and really feel like your positivity is so welcoming. I really think that your PCOS is the cause of your hair loss. Maybe look into getting your levels checked to see what vitamins you need. There is tons of info out there and I've noticed the change after stopping my PCOS care routine. It made me so much more aware of how drastic it's affects are. I wish you the best and thanks for your videos!
You are an amazing lady!!! Your confidence and acceptance, beauty and kindness shines through. I only wish I was as self accepting and loving as you. I pray for your continued health, happiness and yours hearts desires. God bless. You are an inspiration!!
I am 22 years old and married.my husband loves me lot but he feel upset because of my baldness he also feel shy to take me in front of his friend and family.it hurts me a lot .if he doesn't love me I would not feel guilty but as he loves me I feel guilty to think that my husband can't fulfill his wish because of my hair he can't introduce me as his wife.plz everyone pray for me that God will give me my hair
It will be much easier for you once he starts losing his hair, as all men do. Then you can give him a taste of his own medicine so to speak. Good luck.
Great advice! I am losing hair on top. Getting very noticeable. Got to tell you though, you have gorgeous big brown eyes, peaches and cream complexion, and perfect teeth! I bet your precious little one looks like a doll! Thank you for your honesty and bubbly personality. May Angels keep you and Baby safe during these difficult times. Gracias and God bless!
Thank you so much for this video. Your tips are wonderful and I think it's fantastic how many ladies you're helping. I almost cried watching this. You're so kind creating content for other ladies. You're a darling.
I don't recommend using dry shampoo(spray ones are usually full of chemicals) it causes hair loss. Especially cheap ones. Speaking from experience here. After I've stoped, my hair at the top started to grow back slowly.
Just a tip from one hairless sister to another 💜 - try Grey hair coverup spray on scalp instead. It is not chalky at all. Thank you for your videos!!! ✨
You are beautiful with our without hair! I've been going through the same for a few years and I was introduced to the wig community. Best thing for me! I've purchased some amazing, realistic and comfortable wigs and toppers. Very realistic and natural looking pieces. God bless and sending good vibes your way. 🌻💖🌷😊
I'm having the same problem for a year now because of a condition called telogen effluvium. It really has impacted my confidence but seeing you just accepting it and being fine with it somehow also makes me feel better and not alone. So thank you 😀🙂😊
I just turned 40, have been loosing hair since my 20s. Ive done everything to regrow stop the hair loss, Nothing works. So i just invested in my first wig. I think I've accepted the fact that this is my new norm, maybe....
Have you try aloe vera and onion juice? Or a vitamin test to see if you have a deficiency? Maybe its something simple, don't give up and enjoy the wigs until you are able to have your hair again❤
I would shave my head and wear a dramatic eye look and wigs when I wanted to change it up .You are a pretty girl and will look stylish without hair. God bless you , you have a great attitude .
thank u for sharing...my hair has been thinning rapidly..im sure frm stress, getting older, losing hormones, n all that jazz...but i took a picture of the top of my head n was mortified! its super thin on top...and i thought its genetics coz my mom n her sister hav extremely thin hair..almost bald..oh god...neways stay amazing....ur beautiful n im proud of u. im going thru the gastric sleeve program just waiting on a surgery date...wish me luck but for u .stay amazing. this honesty almost made me cry coz u r so brave. thankful for u
Thank you for this video ( I know its old, but still) I have PCOS as well. As a teen and young adult I HATED how thick and unruly my hair was...now, two kids later, I have less than half the amount I used to. I scold myself daily for ever wishing for less hair :(
I'm 30 soon and suffer with PCOS. I'm having a really terrible flare up of symptoms at the moment. My hair has also been falling out and is extremely thin. I'm very self conscious and rubbish at styling hair. This is the first video I've found with someone who is in the same boat as me. I too have been looking at different wigs and just any idea to try and save the little confidence I have left.
I want to tell u even though this was 3y ago and just now seeing this..I want to give u a big big hug cause u have showed me no matter what u can cover things and make things work..I wear my hair up in a pony tail almost 24/7..I don't want my husband my kids my hole family and friends and really it's only me and God that sees my hair..but u gave me a different look on things and I want to thank u for doing this video
I'm not kidding I watched this on a break at work and I thought right I will pick some up. Just tried now, I've rang my mum and my best mate I've been balding for 20 years. Its took years off me. Best tip ever. ❤ 😘
I know I'm late to the convo, but about five years ago I discovered this product was great for extending time between shampoos (have fine, fragile hair)-- and it worked *so* well, that it took me an extra year or two to realize my hair was thinning *significantly*. Since then I've upped my usage, and not only is it my go-to for hiding my growing thin spots, it is so validating to see someone else as thrilled over this product as I am😊. I do wish there were a brunette product that was less ashy/had more shine, but what with the nature of the product being to cut oiliness and all I know I'm asking for too much. Anyways, your video is lovely; looking forward to finding more since you're relatable and funny! And I feel less down about my long dark patchy hair😅
You are very brave. I have learned to love what I have on my little head. Last year I took the dive and shaved it all off. I loved it. The freedom of rolling the windows all the way down and feeling the wind on my bald scalp.
Thank you for being honest and open, all the best to you. a Zinc supplement helps with hair falling out also i keep my hair shorter. rice water also helps! rogaine on my scalp gave me hairs under my chin. regret that darned hormone rubbish.
Wow! Glad that i found this video.i've been suffering my bald spots for years now and i loose confindent in myself.thank you very much for this very uplifting and heart touching video.im so proud of you girl.Godbless you😘❤🙏
I have bald patches at the front of my hair also it makes me very embarrassed just a few weeks ago I started putting eyebrow power on the patches after s full decade it stop me from going to hair salons my doctor told me it was from wearing my hair back to tight 💁🏻♀️cause my hair is really long and thick but the eyebrow powder will do until the lock down is over x thanks for your vid I used wear a bandana or hair band to hide mine xx
Hi love. I use the same product as you. I live in England and got caught in a downpour with no umbrella and was wearing white. My whole face and top turned brown. I still do the same with my scalp but am now obsessed with watching the weather report lol. Just don't get wet ladies. ♥️
This is exactly what I use. I am looking for something to help my hair grow back, but this is the video that popped up. It works great. But if it rains it runs, or if you sweat. Otherwise it hides it well.
I just wanted to jump on here to clarify something. I deal with patients with hair loss on a daily basis and I am always looking for tricks to help with the illusion. Just wanted to explain medications. Rogaine is an over the counter topical application that changes the cycle of your hair. So it does not regrow hair that is gone. It takes hair that is sleeping and wakes it up. It is not a cure so if you stop using it then you again change the growth cycle and that hair will quickly shed. If you have not seen a specialist in female pattern balding, there are medications that can help you inhibit more loss. There are treatments such as PRP or Stem Cell therapy that can help thicken hair that is still there but miniaturizing but again not a permanent cure. A hair transplant will move hair permanently but it does nothing to stop loss of the native hair so it is combining things that can give true long lasting results.
I’ve wanted to shave my head almost bald but I have a lot of scars and little random dents from picking at these bumps I get the from my doctor curing open a cyst and packing it and draining over and over so I don’t think my head almost bald will look good 😢
Thank you for this post.
Diet is a good thing to look into.
Same here. Has anyone besides me had recurring thoughts of shaving your head and just being done with it? It's so hard
Lisa Engler All the time Lisa , all the bloody time 🤦🏻♀️❗️
I just cut all my hair off and starting wearing wigs I love em
yes, me!
Ive been thinking about shaving my head. May i know how old are yall? Im 33 and my hair is thin asf. And I've got a lot of hair fall everyday in the shower and when im brushing my hair
Bald women are beautiful :)
Thanks for being so brave to show us what some people are ashamed of, me mainly.
Hi Gina. You're SO REAL @ how refreshing THAT is!...in such a FAKE world w Fake-ass people. You've lifted many spirits w your warm @ funny character, during ur very personal videos.
Finally a video with someone who is actually as bald as I am 😞. It frustrates me so much to try to find solutions
I really relate to not wanting to brush my hair! I didn't know others felt this way! Thank you for sharing it with us. I don't feel as alone in this!
I understand what you’re saying 100%. I’ve got a few good products that help out if you wanted that information. Thinning hair just sucks, totally.
I feel EXACTLY the same way. In fact, I don't comb my hair unless I've just washed it and need to. It's very very scary. It takes me quite a long time to gently pick thru my hair. In fact, this is the reason I have not had my hair cut for more than a year. It's getting to the point now, however, that I fear the length of my hair is causing more hair loss. I'm biting the bullet today and getting it cut.
I wish I was brave like you. I’m emotionally devastated and wonder if I’ll even find anyone that will love me bald :( . I know it’s vain but it makes me so insecure
You will. Hair isn't your personality and if you're with someone only because they're into your hair- ditch them!!
Look for a bald guy
I used to have enough hair for 3 people and from 48 on I started to loss it by the hand and brushfulls. I am 65 and have lost at least 65% of my hair! Doctors are no help. You are so right and it is emotionally devastating!! I am thinking you are in your 30's also. Look into a really good wig! That is what I am doing even though I am not at the age with this that everyone figures I should not care. But it sure messed with my singing career and performing in my 40's and up to 60. You have every right to be concerned! It is not vanity! It is reality!
This is what I found worked very well for my thinning hair. stophairloss.spotdiscounts.com
I've been dealing with this for a long time. I just found silk hair toppers and I have to say that is the best thing. I am going to I push my real hair out and then put on the topper or even a wig. Looks so very nice!
I’m 15 and going through this rn ... and I just wanted to say thank you for helping me try and hide it better
I hope you are okay right now?
I'm 11 and im going through this.. Except, WAY worse :( sorry if I sounded rude, anyways, I hope things get better for u
I have extreme hairfall like way too extreme and this was because of stress and iron defeciency my haemoglobin was low and through these I went through alot of hairfall and now my hair is. Very thin very thin I have bald spots quite but I try to hide it and I can't tie ponny tails neither a bun because if I tie pony it looks very thin and my bun also looks very small I used have my hair very thick and pretty and my bun would be Soo big but now I can't tie anything except a braid (single braid) even though my hair fall has stopped quite alot like j loose only less than 100 hairs nowadays but waiting for hair growth
So what I did was
I started eating banana which have biotin and orange with have vitamin c that helps in absorption of iron and also 4 dates per day ( 4 dates per day are good to go)
I wash my hair 2 a week
Once I oil and shampoo conditioner it and do a black tea hair rinse
Second time I mask my hair shampoo conditioner and then followed by a rice water hair rinse
I hope this helps u out and also pls forgive me for spelling mistakes

Any hair loss you've incurred hasn't diminished your personality and character :) You have pretty eyes too !
I have been receiving Rituximab infusions for over a year and half and am swapping to Imuran & methotrexate- all to make my lupus pretend to dissipate. I’ve been looking at videos and such about hair systems and what to do when I lose all of my hair- I’m middle eastern and used to have very, very thick and long dark hair. I just watched your video and I want to tell you that you are quite possibly the most beautiful human I have ever seen. You’re lovely on the outside and the inside!! Don’t you let it bother you one bit that you must cover the thinning spots- you’d be gorgeous bald, thick hair, long or short. It’s YOU. Just a darling woman. God bless you for making this video and giving other women like me realize the only person’s opinion that matters is your own!!
I'm 34, major bald spots and thin hair and it began falling out at 16 due to stress. Your videos are giving me strength, thank you.
Sounds like me. I've started noticing bald spots as a teen and now I just keep my hair In a bun. It's so hard especially having curly hair. I'm 31 and have never had the courage or money to see a doctor here in America.
You're a breath of fresh air. :-) Thank goodness there are more people like me in the world who know it can feel sad to have very thin, very fine hair, but not care about those who are too high maintenance who might think we're ugly/slobby or whatever. Screw the bullies!
I tried this and liked it but it made my hair sooo dry that it was breaking even more. I feel stupid for letting my hair rule my life so much but I really struggle at 28. I remember when I was 16 a classmate asking me if I was going bald and another nodding in agreement, I'd never noticed (even though soon it would have been very obvious) but immediately after that I stared at myself and analysed my hair and from then on I was very aware and sensitive about it. My scalp is also very greasy so worst of both worlds, I try not to wash it too much but if I don't wash it every day then I have to wear a hat even though I've heard that's also bad for hair. Sometimes you just can't win. I considered things like a wig but I'm at an age where my friend group are the same people and it would be incredibly obvious, I think they'd support me but it's me who can't bear the thought of everyone I know knowing I'm wearing a wig... Also the idea of meeting someone interested in you and feeling like a fraud and knowing you have to show them. Sometimes I want to shave it but I know that I'm so bald that as it grows back it would look even more awful. Also I can't talk about it ever because noone around me has anything like it (of course there are worse things..) and if I mention my self esteem problems to my mum she cries because she has a full head of thick hair at 60 and feels guilty and I hate making her feel that way. Recently my mum showed me a picture of when I was 16 because she found it, I remember thinking I had no hair and feeling really bad but I actually had two thick plaits and it made me burst in to tears for my past self feeling that way and also in loss. Which sounds stupid because it's only hair, but hopefully you know what I mean by that.
I empathize completely given I’m in a very similar situation. I began thinning at 15, now I’m 23 and this week was actually the first time I spoke to someone outside of my immediate family about it. For years I hid it, felt unworthy, ashamed. But after opening up to my boyfriend about it (and he didn’t even mind which was such a relief) I realized how badly our minds trick us. I assure you the weight you feel is because of a negative narrative your mind is feeding you. The moment you accept that your flaws are a part of you and you face that and share your struggles with others is the moment those flaws lose all their power, almost in an instant. It’s easier said than done for sure but just know you’re not alone and acceptance is on the other side of fear. I believe in you!

I'm a hairdresser. I do this technique for some of my ladies. I use the root touch up spray. Sometimes a couple of colors need to be used to achieve the most natural look for their color.
Regardless of what product is used, you are beautiful...inside and out. Thank you for sharing so that others experiencing the same issue have other options.
I like your attitude about this. You love yourself either way!! Much respect to you, as I'm trying to get to your level. Thank you for sharing .
This is so emotional for me, I have had the most hair loss at the front center, I barely have any hair for a hairline. I used to this product but it's just not enough anymore. I appreciate your confidence and am still working on mine but it's a struggle everyday. People who don't deal with this may not understand how devastating it can be. I've gone to dermatologists, taken oral medicine, used topical medicine, tried topper wigs. I know this sounds selfish but I am grateful that I can work a few days a week from home right now. For the money I spend on covering my bald (that's what I refer to mine as too) I am actually thinking of hair transplant. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hey Teresa!! Thanks so much for sharing. Since this video mines gotten a lot lot worse. I absolutely understand what you mean about feeling overwhelmed. I made a contract deal with the topper company to do a few more videos on it, and after that I'm making a video of shaving it all off. Stay tuned!!
Thank you for this video. Your brave for being open, going thru the same issue. Many women suffer thru this we are not alone. You are beautiful!
Bless your heart💜 Your hair will grow back, I have seen alot of women that has had gastric sleeve their hair has came out but they said it eventually will grow back.. wish you the best sweetie ❤️

Hi Gina from a fellow Hair Loss UA-camr! Just wanted to reach out and say thank you, for helping to end the stigma. Together we can do it! Hugs from Toronto!
Thank you for this! I was feeling so alone and devestated by my thinning hair. Videos like this make me realize Im not alone.
I am so proud of you for your wt. loss journey and dealing with hair loss with such a great attitude of self love and acceptance. You are adorable and an inspiration! Thank you for sharing some of your life with us!
I'm in this same situation and it felt really good to hear you talking about all the things I go through and think about. For a long time I was scared to touch my hair or mess with it at all. It got so thin and finally I decided there's no point in keeping it long. I cut it off to right below my ears and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Not only does the shorter length give it body by removing the extra weight but now that I'm not constantly putting it up it doesn't come out as much. I didn't realize how much tension was being put on it just by always keeping it up. I still have to use a spray like what you use but I'm hopeful that it'll start recovering a bit now that I can just leave it down.
Hi Brooke, your words here give me hope. I've been scared to death to get my hair cut but today I'm biting the bullet and getting a blunt bob. I am so hopeful that the shorter more healthy length will stop some of the shed. God bless sweet friend
Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency! I, too, suffer from hair loss on front and top of my head. I’m much older than you, however, so I guess I should consider it normal. I hate it and bought a topper w/bangs but found it wouldn’t clip on because there wasn’t enough hair. I love how upbeat you are though and am so glad I found your video!
Your definitely not alone! I’ve decided I will need to be a full time wig wearer. Too bad wig shops are not considered essential business at this time.
Yes, go on line. I ordered one and it was delayed one week...no worries
Cea Thank You! I suppose a. Bob wig would do. I think all face shapes can pull this off. Now do I want to be a brunette or a blonde? Best part about a wig is I can be both!
Your attitude is so amazing, which makes you so beautiful. Its so empowering when you say"WHO CARE🤷♀️", the Lord healed my mind, to not to focus on my issue and I did. Which was so freeing.
I have been battling gradual hair thinning and hair loss for the past 4 years, a little less of my scalp was visible compared to yours. I noticed using Batiste/dry shampoo was one of the biggest contributors after I cut it out and had better consistent growth after a couple of months that I couldn't get from hair growth shampoos or vitamins or anything else I tried. I looked it up and saw that other women have had the same issues with hair loss from this product and that dry shampoo actually smothers the hair follicle and scalp which leads to weak hair that breaks off and clogged pores that prevent new growth. It's only supposed to be used once or twice a week max and then rinsed out by the end of the day and I know I was using it daily to cover my spots for the past couple of years. Best of luck on your hair journey!
i am 16 and literally have the same problem my hair is coming out in clumps , it is so depressing that i cant do anything about it i am terrified if brushing and even washing my hair. kudos for your courage of posting this video and now atleast i feel less alone
i just want to say it takes courage to come on camera with flaws and all. I never could. That's why i admire people that do this for others so they can help them with it
Thank you for sharing what a lot of us are embarrassed to do. God bless you and give you more hair.
Thank you Gina. I love your videos. Thank you for being a voice for us women with hair loss.
This hit home for me, hard! I feel you girl!!! I could cry when I look at old pictures of myself with my thick pretty curly hair. Now I do the same thing sort of. I am 2 years out from gastric sleeve and have lost almost the same amount of weight. I am also a decade older than you are. I wear my hair the same way most of the time because of the horrible balding. I do have curly hair so I tease mine a bit while the dry shampoo is still "wet" then I use a freeze hair spray on it and comb it up to give it volume. I have no clue how to make a video on here or to show pictures but this technique is what I have been doing for over a year. I take vitamins and followed all the rules with getting my protein in but my hair is still thinning. I do have wigs in several styles and colors but most days I do just what you are doing. There is another type of dry shampoo that you can use called "not your mothers dry shampoo" or something and that works really good too. I got it at CVS on sale. You can contact me on facebook and see my pictures or whatever if you want to. Keep rocking ladies!! This is not easy to even share but for some reason your video hit me in the feels tonight!!
I have never bought a product so fast, watched this video this morning and went n bought this dry shampoo, which i didn't even know they sold. Used it n immediately started crying. Thank you thank you thank you, you have no idea how much this has helped me, i could not stop smiling and crying at the same time
Hey!!!! Omg fantastic news. Thanks for sharing!!! If I can help one person get their confidence back it was all worth it. 💯
You're beautiful!!!
Oh my gosh you just saved me from mental breakdown for my hair loss. I just started shedding about a month ago and with also my grays coming in at the roots it makes things worse. But this my dear is a life saver!!! Thank you so much!!! I will go look for some as soon as i get a chance! God bless you and having such a positive attitude. You made me feel so much better.
I've gotten much worse than this and this trick still works!!
GINA THANK YOU HUN!!! I have terrible bald spots and you told me how to hide them with batiste dry shampoo ! tomorrow I am getting 2 cans of it!! thank you again!! like yourself I tried everything and nothing worked THANK YOU !! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!
You'll never go back! I promise
Thank you , thank you, thank you! My sister and I are going through the same thing as you for years. Gonna call her now and tell her about this stuff. Love your attitude and you make me feel better about myself. God bless you and you rock!
i just wanted to say that you are such an incredible person, it takes much courage to come on camera with flaws and all. i admire people like you, such an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing. I know it took a lot of guts to make the video, but please know you have helped a lot of women who are experiencing the same problem. God bless.
I only this week came across 'toppers'. Brilliant long hair pieces just for the top of the head, perfect for female pattern hair loss. Wishing you all the very best.
I'm so glad that I came across your video, my hair looks so much like yours. I've found that same brand of dry shampoo that you use and it sure has made a huge difference. For my edges I use Castor oil mixed with either coconut oil or rosemary oil, that has been great to help with new hair growth. My little bald spots are filling in with baby hair. Thank you for sharing your challenge with us who can relate. It's good to know that I'm not the only person who is going though hair loss. I've found a great support system here in the comments. Thank you for being so up beat and positive.
Bless your heart, I am 60 and until 2 years ago I had a thick head of long hair, now it’s getting so thin. Trust me being older isn’t any comfort
Fortunately its really socially acceptable to be a man with hair loss. I know that doesn't say much for your personal mental attribute to it. Nice to meet a fellow follicley challenged 💕
I just want to hang out with you. This is such a lonely, devastating thing to go through as a woman. Thank you for your positive attitude. I wish I could be like you.
Haha!! It's so hard for me to make friends at 35 lol 😆 thanks! This means a lot
I’m 22 and my hair is so thin and the more I lose weight the thinner it gets, and it’s all on the top of my head too... I’ve always struggled with my appearance and I’ve had people take advantage of me because of it, this video gave me a bit of hope
Dieting makes it worse x
Are you losing weight in a healthy way (eating right & exercising) or is it a specific diet you're on? Like a vegan or keto diet or something.
Me too
I got on a bad diet
And now hair loss is awfull
It will grow back my friend
😊😊
It will take long but it will grow back
Amazing empowerment for other woman. It might sound crazy but try to change your eating habits to grow your hair. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, there was a point in time where it happened to me just a little corner on the side of my left head. I changed my eating habits and eventually gotten my hair back and it has never been more healthy. Trust it changed my life.
You're right about eating. I went through a period when I lost my older brother to cirrohsis and I stopped eating, I was so depressed I had no idea I was balding up front nor did it matter to me. After my brothers funeral my best friend/sister force fed me, we ate 4 meals plus healthy snacks in between. My hair literally started growing back almost instantly! Years later my hair just started falling out again.. Went to the dermatologist and he said it was genetics. I'm so sad and embarrassed by my scalp now I need to use wigs. Using with isn't embarrassing - it's fun! Anyways sorry for blabbing, I just wanted to share. Have a great day 🙂
Leilani Leilani oh wow, I’m sorry for your loss❤️, I understand. Doctors always say it’s Genetics however, we have a lot of daily stresses in our lives also. Don’t always trust in their words cuz sometimes with a little research and understanding about health it can change us. It doesn’t help with all our fast paced life either and our bodies have to adapt to it and take some minor toll. My "Doctor" prescribed some vitamin pills that had unnecessary ingredients and was un-beneficial & made me start vomiting and not wanting to eat which created stress hormones in my body, my hair would fall out. Be careful with those.
Eventually I started eating healthier on a Vegan diet for a while, mind you I eat meat but I cut it out and started producing more growth, trust me, I’ve never been more astonished to a simple thing by eating healthier.
You are definitely a strong willed beautiful woman! Keep being positive and ignore the haters. We all go through different things and I appreciate you sharing a piece of your life.
Please use fish oil and ABC (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot) juice in your daily routine. It works magically.. Use it Daily. Also change your routine life Do Exercise Get eight hours of sleep a night Take a walk every day 45 to 50 minutes. Don't let worries overwhelm you. Make your life happy Your baldness will soon be gone😊😊 Always Hope for best❤️
I usually cannot sit through even 2 minutes of a beauty vid, but you are so charming and real that these 12 minutes flew by.
Your glasses are awesome! Your eyes are gorgeous, and you yourself are beautiful inside and out.
Before I turned so gray, I used to use Bumble & Bumble ($$$) hair powder around my face just like you.
Tip: I cut a paper plate into a crescent shape and I would move that around on my face to keep the color off.
I have the same issues and I use the same product!!!!! I have to use before makeup, bcuz it can leave splatter marks on your face, ears, etc. Also, if I were you, I would HIGHLY consider cutting your hair at least above the shoulders or even a little longer. I am telling you, it makes a HUGE difference!!! It awakens your hair, hair seems healthier, it LOOKS healthier and fuller and so much more. You look beautiful!!!!
I'm twenty one bro, this is happening to me rn, I can run my hands through my hair and come away with a significant chunk of it every time. The growth serum thing was getting too expensive to keep using on a regular basis, and I just didn't know what to do. Watching your video has made me feel better though, as has reading the comments. I've felt very helpless for a long time and it makes me so relieved to see that I can learn to work around it.
If you stop using the regained and growth stuff it'll come out again. Invest in some wigs!!
@@Digital_Dreaming_ gotcha, thank youuu 😁😁
I so admire you for sharing this video. I am getting female pattern baldness and right now I have enough bangs in the front to tease up and then wear a fall in the back. Wig companies truly make wonderful hair toppers (all different varieties), wigs, falls, etc. that are lightweight and realistic. I get so many compliments on my hair and it sure does save me a lot of time. I get that a lot of women are reluctant to wear a wig but I went into a few wig shops and tried a few on and I have never looked back. But, I love your attitude and spunkiness and I think you look beautiful.
Funny how this video finds me today, I'm 36 and got my head, full of thick dense hair, shaved today morning. There are two reasons for it, one I'd treated my hair multiple times in the past and they just didn't feel like quality hair and the other reason is the magic potion that I'd be applying to check how fast is the growth going to be!!
Magic potion can be a quick DIY: Boil curry leaves in water, once it cools down, optional to add a vitamin E oil (1 capsule) and 1 tbsp aloevera gel. Apply this potion on the hair or patches, it's a leave in. You may rinse it off too. Either way works. You'll notice baby hair sprouting back, irrespective the age!
Give it a go 💓
This was SO helpful! I am so grateful for your vulnerability in sharing where your hair is at. Mine looks really similar. I have tried that product before but I think I didn’t like when it was chalky right away and didn’t give it a chance so seeing it combed in looks like it works way better! Also baby hair loss struggle is REAL!
Your hair loss pattern is ideal for a hair topper, not extensions or wigs. Get a topper with a wide enough cap. And you brush the length into your own length. They can't be worn straight out of box, you need to wear at home and give it time to shape itself. Then wear it to a salon so they can cut it in a way to blend better with your hair and style how you like.
Where can you get a good topper?
You're so wonderfully honest. So nice of you to share your experience. You make other people brave.
Ur such a strong beautiful woman with a lot of confidence, wish there was a cure for baldness 😔
Thanks for the brave videos! You have such grace. My hair loss started the same way..the crown. It has been severe and relentless for me too. After ruling out all the big stuff, I found keeping my ferritin levels up (desiccated liver or yellow dock) and my vitamin D levels up helped a great deal. I also tested positive for heavy metal poisoning. Hope these are some new ideas. Bob haircuts hide a multitude of thinning and evils. I have the bottom cut to be blunt bottomed. Then I part in the most favorable way. I will also do highlights to keep the hair coast to my scalp looking lighter in color which is less contrast to white scalp! It also gives the illusion of depth that isn't there. Hugs to you and all readers similarly afflicted.
*closest, not coast
Love your honesty and how you are approaching this. I'm the same and have had since being a teenager. You made me feel less alone. Ty 😊
I finally found a way to put my hair up (for work) that doesn't make me look bald. So if you take the front 3ish inches, pull the rest back, out of the way, and part down the middle. Then you'll take the front right section, put it in a little pony tail, do the same for the left. Take both of those and make one pony tail. Flip to the front door now. Take the back and put it in a pony. Pull the scrunchie down just a little. You'll take the front pony that you combined earlier and hold it above your head. Tuck the end of that pony into itself front to back. It will give you some volume. Then take that same front pony and tuck it in between a parted back pony tail and tada! You can find this on Pinterest too.
My heart is breaking for you. Please give yourself a hug, and a break. You said you’d had a gastric sleeve procedure a year ago. A HUGE metabolism shift. Then you did probably the only thing that could be more of a metabolic change, you had a baby! Hon, you created life! Are you nursing your little one? All of that will take a while to settle down and let you get to your new normal. Maybe your hair issue will improve, maybe not, but you are a strong resilient woman. You will continue to cope with it and live a rich and fulfilling life either way. Give yourself some time. By the way, my hair is thinning too, that’s why I wanted to watch your video, and my current method to disguise it is with eye shadow. You can get pretty cheap ones, in most any color add a coat of hair spray to make it stay put, and you’re good to go! Love and hugs. (PS just so we’re clear, I’m not saying you are responsible for what is going on. You made good decisions to improve your life! Celebrate 🎉)
Your so beautiful. Im 27 an also have pcos. Its horrible to get to that point where you realize dang i need to hide it. We are not alone. Thanks for the tips.
I am 57 and had this problem since age 24 for some reason my hair has gotten fuller (I praise the Lord. I pray daily for my hair) I use the powder but will give this product a try. Dealing with bald spots is not easy specially for a woman no matter what age you are.
Nothing beats a good wig or hair topper. I'll never look back. I look fabulous and I'm practically bald. Good luck everyone!
I just decided to consider wigs fun and so they are. I’m having a blast with wigs!
Thank you! That is wonderful! I can't wait to try that. I am going to do that forever. I always wear my hair up bc it is so hot here in Austin and I also have to wear it up for work. I am so afraid of losing more hair from pulling that I always wear it right on top of my head, not back where your pony is. Plus, tension headaches suck. Like where Ariana Grande puts hers up top but not pulled back so sleek and maybe an inch closer to my forehead. I also try to loosen it slightly in the very front to drape it slightly forward on my forehead to hide my receding hairline some like Melania does hers. You look great! I love your attitude! I am so glad you have found a working solution and are getting out there and enjoying your life. I know we can spend so much time worrying in front of our mirror that we can start to hideout. Thanks again! Good luck on your journey! I have faith in you!
I just want to say I'm a fellow cyster and really feel like your positivity is so welcoming. I really think that your PCOS is the cause of your hair loss. Maybe look into getting your levels checked to see what vitamins you need. There is tons of info out there and I've noticed the change after stopping my PCOS care routine. It made me so much more aware of how drastic it's affects are. I wish you the best and thanks for your videos!
You are an amazing lady!!! Your confidence and acceptance, beauty and kindness shines through. I only wish I was as self accepting and loving as you. I pray for your continued health, happiness and yours hearts desires. God bless. You are an inspiration!!
Oh gosh you are so brave. I’m going bald in my forties and it’s so depressing. Thank you for your video xx
I am 22 years old and married.my husband loves me lot but he feel upset because of my baldness he also feel shy to take me in front of his friend and family.it hurts me a lot .if he doesn't love me I would not feel guilty but as he loves me I feel guilty to think that my husband can't fulfill his wish because of my hair he can't introduce me as his wife.plz everyone pray for me that God will give me my hair
girl if he can't introduce you to his family and friends because he is ashamed of your baldness he doesn't love you that much. Sorry.
It will be much easier for you once he starts losing his hair, as all men do. Then you can give him a taste of his own medicine so to speak. Good luck.
@@dianabuzzati163 All the BS men get about going bald...... cry me a river
Great advice! I am losing hair on top. Getting very noticeable. Got to tell you though, you have gorgeous big brown eyes, peaches and cream complexion, and perfect teeth! I bet your precious little one looks like a doll! Thank you for your honesty and bubbly personality. May Angels keep you and Baby safe during these difficult times. Gracias and God bless!
Awww thanks!! Braces for 4 years saved me lolol don't forget to watch mg updated videos on hair loss!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Your tips are wonderful and I think it's fantastic how many ladies you're helping. I almost cried watching this. You're so kind creating content for other ladies. You're a darling.
I don't recommend using dry shampoo(spray ones are usually full of chemicals) it causes hair loss. Especially cheap ones. Speaking from experience here. After I've stoped, my hair at the top started to grow back slowly.
Awe, you're a sweetheart!!! And funny as F×€©! I'm getting to be a hat all the time girl, and it's not slowing down.. I'm 36, and it's been thinning fast for about 8 years. And now....
Stress from covid-19, single and moving ... There's crime drugs and already in my town, it's been pretty tough going.
This video sure lifted me up. I HOPE YOU HAVE SPONSERS!!! 👌🏼👌🏼❤️
When I have birth I had hair fall out at my temples. It itches really bad, then it stopped and grew back. You are beautiful!!!
THANK YOU, Gina...THANK YOU!!! Very helpful and VERY much appreciate your candor!! You are a life=savor!!!
Thank you very much for sharing! You are beautiful & I love your attitude.
I use this, too, to cover the same area above my forehead. I hope they never stop making it.
Does it come in grey?
Just a tip from one hairless sister to another 💜 - try Grey hair coverup spray on scalp instead. It is not chalky at all. Thank you for your videos!!! ✨
You are beautiful with our without hair! I've been going through the same for a few years and I was introduced to the wig community. Best thing for me! I've purchased some amazing, realistic and comfortable wigs and toppers. Very realistic and natural looking pieces. God bless and sending good vibes your way. 🌻💖🌷😊
I'm having the same problem for a year now because of a condition called telogen effluvium. It really has impacted my confidence but seeing you just accepting it and being fine with it somehow also makes me feel better and not alone. So thank you 😀🙂😊
I just turned 40, have been loosing hair since my 20s. Ive done everything to regrow stop the hair loss, Nothing works. So i just invested in my first wig. I think I've accepted the fact that this is my new norm, maybe....
Me too i have been losing since 20s now im 40 and just purchased a wig last week but mine got worse last year or so 2 babies that i had
Have you try aloe vera and onion juice? Or a vitamin test to see if you have a deficiency? Maybe its something simple, don't give up and enjoy the wigs until you are able to have your hair again❤
@@milkaveornica yes. I just got my B12 and D back in the normal range so hoping it’ll come back. 🤞
I would shave my head and wear a dramatic eye look and wigs when I wanted to change it up .You are a pretty girl and will look stylish without hair. God bless you , you have a great attitude .
thank u for sharing...my hair has been thinning rapidly..im sure frm stress, getting older, losing hormones, n all that jazz...but i took a picture of the top of my head n was mortified! its super thin on top...and i thought its genetics coz my mom n her sister hav extremely thin hair..almost bald..oh god...neways stay amazing....ur beautiful n im proud of u. im going thru the gastric sleeve program just waiting on a surgery date...wish me luck but for u
.stay amazing. this honesty almost made me cry coz u r so brave. thankful for u
Thank you for this video ( I know its old, but still) I have PCOS as well. As a teen and young adult I HATED how thick and unruly my hair was...now, two kids later, I have less than half the amount I used to. I scold myself daily for ever wishing for less hair :(
I'm 30 soon and suffer with PCOS. I'm having a really terrible flare up of symptoms at the moment. My hair has also been falling out and is extremely thin. I'm very self conscious and rubbish at styling hair. This is the first video I've found with someone who is in the same boat as me. I too have been looking at different wigs and just any idea to try and save the little confidence I have left.
I want to tell u even though this was 3y ago and just now seeing this..I want to give u a big big hug cause u have showed me no matter what u can cover things and make things work..I wear my hair up in a pony tail almost 24/7..I don't want my husband my kids my hole family and friends and really it's only me and God that sees my hair..but u gave me a different look on things and I want to thank u for doing this video
I'm not kidding I watched this on a break at work and I thought right I will pick some up. Just tried now, I've rang my mum and my best mate I've been balding for 20 years. Its took years off me. Best tip ever. ❤ 😘
Enjoy life, life is short, I have same problem, when I go out I use wig, it’s fine I want to repeat your word, who care.
I have alopecia too, I try to keep my hair shoulder length, also wearing real human hair wigs, and toppers, affordable price in amazon.
I know I'm late to the convo, but about five years ago I discovered this product was great for extending time between shampoos (have fine, fragile hair)-- and it worked *so* well, that it took me an extra year or two to realize my hair was thinning *significantly*. Since then I've upped my usage, and not only is it my go-to for hiding my growing thin spots, it is so validating to see someone else as thrilled over this product as I am😊. I do wish there were a brunette product that was less ashy/had more shine, but what with the nature of the product being to cut oiliness and all I know I'm asking for too much. Anyways, your video is lovely; looking forward to finding more since you're relatable and funny! And I feel less down about my long dark patchy hair😅
You are very brave. I have learned to love what I have on my little head. Last year I took the dive and shaved it all off. I loved it. The freedom of rolling the windows all the way down and feeling the wind on my bald scalp.
I got my tonsils removed at age 23 and ever since my hair started falling out but hey we are beautiful without full head of hair ❤️
I watch these types of videos to console myself and not feel alone!
We’re together. 🙏 💪 🌺 🙂 🦋. August 21,2020
Thank you for being honest and open, all the best to you. a Zinc supplement helps with hair falling out also i keep my hair shorter. rice water also helps! rogaine on my scalp gave me hairs under my chin. regret that darned hormone rubbish.
Wow! Glad that i found this video.i've been suffering my bald spots for years now and i loose confindent in myself.thank you very much for this very uplifting and heart touching video.im so proud of you girl.Godbless you😘❤🙏
Beth, God Bless You too. :). ❣️🦋. August 12, 2020
You are beautiful! God bless you
I have bald patches at the front of my hair also it makes me very embarrassed just a few weeks ago I started putting eyebrow power on the patches after s full decade it stop me from going to hair salons my doctor told me it was from wearing my hair back to tight 💁🏻♀️cause my hair is really long and thick but the eyebrow powder will do until the lock down is over x thanks for your vid I used wear a bandana or hair band to hide mine xx
Hi love. I use the same product as you. I live in England and got caught in a downpour with no umbrella and was wearing white. My whole face and top turned brown. I still do the same with my scalp but am now obsessed with watching the weather report lol. Just don't get wet ladies. ♥️
This is exactly what I use. I am looking for something to help my hair grow back, but this is the video that popped up. It works great. But if it rains it runs, or if you sweat. Otherwise it hides it well.
Im 37 and my hair is thinning drastically. Luckily I have a guy who loves and supports me regardless.
