Oh my gosh!! I used to watch other ladies hair when they flip it and it just crisscrosses over each other and subtly falls down....sooooo beautiful and I could NEVER have that!
I'm so glad i found your channel! I have PCOS and when i hit puberty my hair fell out. It grew back, but over the years it's been thinning out and actually is in the same loss pattern as you. It's so comforting to hear other's journey especially when it's so similar to mine. lately i've been looking online for support because it's seeming to thin faster the past few years than it has my life prior. Thank you for your honestly and vulnerability!
I can totally relate to your story! I'm 36 and have dealt with fine thin hair my whole life. And I remember seeing girls flip their hair like you were explaining and just wishing I could have hair like that! Mine was really noticeable after the birth of my first child, I had the postpartum shed, but my hair never grew back to its prepregancy thickness (thin, but not as thin haha) My loss seems to be stable, but I'm tired of being self conscious in public that people are staring at my thin hair. It can be very isolating because as common as it is, it's still quiet uncommon. I can be in a room and look around and think, I'm the only women here with thin hair. It also doesn't help that I have three biological sisters and a brother who were all blessed with a full thick head of hair. I guess I just needed to rant, but I'm considering a topper or extensions to help with my confidence.

I’ve had “sensitive hair” since high school w massive sheds due to eating disorder as a teen, and a shed in my 20s from Norplant birth control. Hair grew back w help from Rogaine. Two years ago, stress caused shed and doc put me on spiro, propecia and 5% minoxidil, and hair regrew. I stopped my regime last fall (terrible decision!!) and had massive shed. New derm put me on 10% minoxidil w Retin A, dutarstide, spiro, and increased propecia dose. She diagnosed me w androgenic alopecia for the first time. My hair loss is mostly in temples w diffuse overall thinning. My advice for women is to find a derma pathologist if possible. My hair is growing back, but now I know i must stay on regimen forever. I call my hair a “chemical wig”. It’s a daily project w a hefty monthly price tag and meds have side effects. 😑 but it’s worth it to me to keep my hair. 💞
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s tough as a woman to lose your hair. I had thick hair until I hit high school and it progressively gotten thinner and thinner. After menopause the hair on the top of my head said bye bye. Now I’m in my early 60s and just bought my first topper. It’s all uphill from here! I should have done this much sooner!!
Thanks so much for sharing your story!! My experience has totally lined up with yours. In middle school I started to wonder why I couldn't have the hairstyle that some other girls had because my hair was too soft (I had a lot back then but they are fine hair). In college I started noticing scalp showing up underneath my hair if I don't wash it daily, I've been using some fibers since. And now I am three month postpartum! Losing a full hand of hair everyday, so I am starting to research on toppers before I go back to work. All my blood work results show normal as well! Again thank you so much for sharing your experience, it makes me feel not that lonely anymore!
100% birth control plays a factor with hair loss. I was on it 5 years but i experienced A LOT of thinning after i stopped. Over 60% of my hair fell out. After i started treatment with supplements such as vitamin d3, ( i got deficient after stopping birth control) and treatments like dermarolling and the pro I- restore laser light therapy my hair came back. I also take collagen peptides 2 scoops a day and i take probiotics. My diet has changed to healthier eating with no sugar, lower gluten, & drinking lots of water. Ive been doing all this for 2 years now & my hair grown back 5 times thicker. Has anyone else tried these types of treatments for hairloss??
And believe me when i say i was so desperate to stop my hair loss & grow it back. I did so much research in the types of treatments I do without help from doctors. The treatments i mentioned worked tremendously well for me but i dont know if it will work for everyone else. Just thought I'd share my experience
Hi, Tina.M., I love reading your comment. I was actually scrolling down the comments to see if I would find a comment like yours. I also have started a treatment with a naturophatic this year, in January. I am taking hydrolized collagen, iron, vitamin D3, multivitamins, copper and zinc, probiotic, and also following a restricted diet, low carb, gluten free, dairy free, etc. I have noticed that my hair has been falling out WAY LESS than before. I am also oiling my hair twice a week with a blend of oil (coconut oil, castor oil, rosemary essential oil, thyme, lavender, cedarwood, etc). I have already purchased the laser light therapy cap, but hasn't arrived yet.

Hey girl. I got diagnosed with alopecia and I'm having thinning at my temples...it really scares me to think I'll ever have a baby and sometimes I feel maybe I just shouldn't because I might just lose the rest of my hair. It's really sad how most people don't understand what a woman suffering from alopecia goes through. I wish I had a family as loving as yours btw. :)
I'm also from India.. I also have alopecia .. It hurts me that I cant style my hair or do anything else other than but a ponytail or a small bun to cover up my head.. My hair started falling Wen i was in 7th grade.. I'm 17 now.. N hope some day I will start to look pretty again n have a normal life
selva rani I'm also from india.. I too have this problem.. from past 10 years I'll give you some tips which will help you to have a kind of normal life.. tc 😚
@@rashmisridhar3030 hey plz help me with ur suggestions..i m very depressed i lost lots of hair...in india its very difficult to find a good quality topper
Ive always had thin hair and kept away from hair dressers because I was embarrassed. The last couple years has been bad emotionaly, especially this 3-4 months. Hair thinning getting so bad . Tried vitamin supplements for months and DHT blocker for a month, no change . Very interested in the coloring stuff. I remember losing so much hair after pregnancy , just balls of it. That was over 8 years ago.
love this! got off birth control after 15 years and now i have Telogen effluvium and have lost 1/2 of my hair now. I went back on it and its basically the same! EVERY doctor says its not related but hearing this helps me know it is true! now on rogaine and its helping but everyday it falls out for 2 years now :( so so sad
Hormone based hair loss is treatable unless you have scarring hairloss like scarring alopecia..give your body rest and detox..try taming your anagen and cortisol level with spearmint tea maca powder...having high testosterone and anagen..can cause a form of male pattern baldness in women...avoid fried food and meats with hormones and look into the 5:2 diet or less dramatic intermittent fasting to give your body a chance to balance itself out without outside influence..try hclf vegan but incorporating plant fat like avocados or hemp the are good for hormones. Stress snd excess supplementation can worsen the condition..i took multi vitamins with a high dose of vitamin a and it was terrible for liver and hair health
If you catch it early enough, perhaps. But, once your hair miniaturizes enough to the point where the follicle is dead, there's no coming back from it.
It is most certainly is related. In my searches online, I found Dr. Jolene Brighten, a functional medicine naturopathic doctor based in Portland, OR. She has a lot of information on her website about post birth control syndrome and how to recover from it naturally. She also has great info about PCOS if you are in that category. Hope this helps. Her info has helped me greatly! ✌🏼
My hair loss is quite similar to yours. I am undergoing PRP. Its painful but i hope it works. The depression and anguish of losing my hair weighs me down everyday.
Hi I'm Andrea, and my hair is super thin and I'm only 15 and I don't know what's going on I really hate myself because I don't feel beautiful and I don't know what I've told my mom don't you take me to the doctor and they did lab work to see if there's anything wrong with my thyroid but everything came back negative nothing was wrong so now I'm scared that I might have what you have so yeah and you're beautiful just no matter okay I'm just really scared I don't like it when people make fun of me for this about my hair
I'm sorry you are dealing with this, Andrea. My labs always came back normal, too...I know it's frustrating. You might try a specialist that deals specifically with hormones...one that really digs into women's issues.
Thank you for sharing! I have lost at least half of my hair since I was 13 (now 21) and doctors didn't give a shit until I had almost bald spot in the middle of my scalp and not much left everywhere else, now they prescribed me minoxidil and vitamins but idk if they help.
It's amazing alot of people are going thru this.. I am one of those I had gone thru alot and know what your going thru. I am so fed up using hair fibers it's a pain trying to not fall on your face and if your head itches cant even scratch because it will leave a marc and remove some fibers and see your bald spots. It's really depressing I am still debating of toppers because since I do sweat alot I think it will itch and will be tapping my head all the time.. I envy those people that have beautiful and full hair .
has anyone ever tried DHT blockers like saw palmetto in supplements. I started about 3 weeks ago, noticed a drastic decrease in shedding and hope it continues to help. I just wondered if anyone saw regrowth with DHT blockers in supplements?
Jennifer Ann Fox Hi I'm from India. I've been using castor oil n vit e capsules topically for about 5 months and rosemary essential oil since this month...i hav both thyroid n pcos...ive seen a few new baby hairs...no reduction in hairfall though ....ive noticed u hav good hair in ur profile pic... Is there anything uve done that helped with ur hair??😢😢😢😞😞😞
@@Truth77772 I did it for a month and didn’t see any change. I also tried hair vitamin capsules for 5 months with no change. it’s worse after stopping them so maybe they helped getting worse at least, but I’m also under a ton of stress.
My favorite is my daily driver, Top Secret by Jon Renau. Worst...hmmm..."worst" is hard to say. If I tried a FABULOUS piece for newbies, Jon Renau easiPart, that would totally be the worst for me because it's so small and wouldn't provide me with enough coverage...but it's awesome for so many. I would probably say that Kanekelon fibers feel great at first but wear very quickly.
CornerOfHopeAndMane. Thanks! I was thinking of trying the Jon Renau easily part xl. Patti's pearls did a review on it and she suggested wearing it with the wider part in the front. I am thinking that may work for me as my hair is very short.😀
please talk about Spiro soon, im dying because of this balding im 21. I used Spiro about a month but I quit because they say it can cause irregular periods
I advice you to take it in a half amount for a month then take it normally for the next months ( this can reduce side effects very well ) . It helps me a lot in regulating my periods
Hi, thanks for sharing so much! I really want to ask you: Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet? I’ve seen people talking about having great success with hair regrowth. Thanks✌️
I been wearing custom human hair toppers for 5 years very expensive. 2000$ each!! I tried on swig the other day it bunches up in the back, don’t feel secure:/ I was disappointed. Just trying to go more affordable. I saw where you can make a topper out of a wig. Anyways, my base on my topper has to be about 7 in x 7 in. For my coverage. I have autoimmune illness been losing hair since age 21 when I was diagnosed. My question is ,” What toppers do you recommend?” I have to have bangs , so I cut bangs in them. And have the cut to my liking. Thank you for sharing !❤️I totally understand this battle...
CornerOfHopeAndMane Well I’m looking for toppers that are more affordable and prefer heat friendly but less than 2000$ each I have watched so many videos and I’m hesitant to order one on the market. The synthetic could work but I’ prefer blonde colors... and light rooting... My bio hair is light brown . And at my shoulders but I blend it easily. As long as there is good coverage or density.... I don’t work. But stay busy with my 14 year old and I have a 21 year old. I just need some back up pieces. I was think about trying the Milan by noriko, or a racheal Welch topper? Just any information or if you have experience with any major brand on the market. Would be great:) I have thinning on my entire head. With most on top. But hair is fragile, brittle, very unhealthy:( Luckily I still have enough for toppers tho! Sincerely and Thank you 😊
Milan isn't heat-friendly, so that's out. Have you checked into Jon Renau's easiParts? Those come in smaller sizes as well as larger and in human hair OR heat-friendly. Raquel Welch does have a heat-friendly topper, but I think only one option called Top Billing. Did you see my latest review on BelleTress? That's HF as well: ua-cam.com/video/XO6i7WMXiS0/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I have a question, as I’m currently (still) debating if I go topper or wig: for you personally, when would you (if ever) start wearing a wig?
Did you notice when you were on the spironolactone that it helped with the hair loss? Did you ever find after the postpartum shed that your hair loss slowed? I’m in the middle of it now and I’m afraid it’s never going to stop coming out.
I wasn't on it long enough to know - I was only on it for about 5 months. And yes, after the PP shed my shedding definitely returned to normal. The post-partum shed is the worst...
Thanks for sharing your story.. I also have a hair loss problem since 3rd yr high school, i'm 16 yrs old that time now i'm 34 still have a hair loss.. I tried a lot of product, i even consulted a doctor but still nothing to do about my problem.. But i'm still hoping that one day my hair loss problem will resolve..
90% of women with AGA have insulin resistance = the root cause of your HL. PCOS is not a disease, it is a symptom. I wasnt diagnosed with PCOS either, but I have all the symptoms, plus I am insulin resistant, which is the actual cause of AGA (sugar-insulin-hormones imbalance-pattern hailoss).
You do need some hair for traditional application, but there are other ways to do it if not...tape, glue. In fact, I glue (with a super-strong gel) the front of my topper: cornerofhopeandmane.com/helper-hair/glue-toppers-wigs/
Not trying to promote, but you can see my hair loss problems here, do you think it will work on me? If you can do a demo video that'd be great! ua-cam.com/video/_7qTkFyPKns/v-deo.html
A hair topper actually covers your entire scalp, which is what I use versus the little clip-in extensions. Have a look at this video as it shows how I do this from start to finish: ua-cam.com/video/vZxMuBkkgmQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing ... had no idea there was colored dry shampoo! I need to try that ... are you still losing hair? I’ve been losing huge handfuls for years now ... I’m looking at toppers now. All my tests come back normal too ... this started after I got an iud and has continued even years after removal
Yeah.. my entire family has passed down androgenic alopecia. It seems to go towards the women mainly but men in our family also have it. My grandmother had it and all her children except ONE male didn’t have it. And all his kids also didn’t get it. But my aunt and my dad got it and they lost their hair completely. My aunt had 4 daughters and 3 our the 4 got it as well except for the youngest. They lost theirs around 30. My dad lost his hair and my brother lost his right out of highschool. My hair has been progressively thinning and I just hit 30. I’ve been actively looking at wigs and finally bought my first to start trying and wearing to get comfortable. My hair is EXTREMELY thin. I understand looking at other girls and how they style their hair and how they play with looks.. and I could never do that :(. My sister never got the gene either. I also have cousins who are girls that have also lost their hair. So... in our family it’s overwhelming. I’ve had blood work done and I’m healthy... it’s just this thing that has been passed down :(.
And also, I’ve had 2 children. And my hair was its thickest while I was pregnant. Which is why I thought maybe my estrogen is low... well all my levels are normal :/. I’m learning to try to come to terms with my hair loss and own it by finding wigs I like. And I was prescribed that medicine as well.... cannot! Spell it lol! And I read ALL up on that medicine and felt that I didn’t need to take something that could affect my body negatively long term, just for the hope that I could KEEP the hair that was on my head. He said I wouldn’t see new growth. Just keep what I had. Which I’m not happy with anyway so I was like, what’s the point. Lol
I started to loose my hair since I was 24, today I am 65 and the problem is worse of course :( . I feel sorry for myself and all women, who are haveing that problem.Oh well....
HI there! I swore I responded to this. Not formally, nope. All my levels were always in range. While I have presented with cystic ovaries in my past, my last few scans have not showed any. (and if for some reason this is a double reply, apologies!)
I was born with a "cradle cap" and diagnosed with Seborrheic Dermatitis (a type of Eczema). It disappeared and I had wonderful hair during childhood, but it came back during puberty and my hair got progressively thinner and scarcer... I tried EVERY kind of doctor and treatment and nothing fixed my hair loss and super thin hair. I finally started wearing toppers in my late 20s. I also always had issues with my periods and I've been on the pill for many years. I want to try to get pregnant later this year and I was looking forward to the healthier hair that most women experience, but now I know it might get even worse... T_T Oh well.. guess I might need a bigger topper...
I heard that dry shampoos are really bad for thinning hair and can make hair fall worse... There is so much conflicting information about what will help thinning hair and hair fall. Its very disheartening when searching for solutions and the advice is wrong and it makes the condition worse... Im at my wits end with all this.
It's all frustrating, huh? I can only speak about my personal story, and will tell you that I haven't experienced any additional shedding and I still use dry shampoo to this day. My alopecia is caused by DHT, which all bodies product, that attacks the hair follicle. So, the issue comes internally rather than externally.
I wasn't trying to be rude, just saying there's nothing I can do about it now. :) Luckily, devices have adjustable volume. If you look at current videos, you'll notice I use a microphone now. :)
Ladies stop all drama about hair !!!! Thank your god you are healthy you live in a beautiful country your familly arr not starving !!! You cancer free . people dont realize that they have many beautiful things in life they just focus of what they dont have ! Hair !!😒😒😒 com onn
@@basmabiba4372 You will go bald anyway because of chemo. Seriously, why are people saying such stupid things? Every cancer patient would be more than happy to have AGA instead of cancer, you disgraceful brat.
Shut up. My hair loss is from two autoimmune diseases. I won’t see old age. Most people with hair loss under the age of 40 are usually unwell. So shut up, shut the f up.

Gargi Chakraborty I have the same- started loosing hair when I was 12
I just wish that my hair comes back.
We all do!
Hey girl. I got diagnosed with alopecia and I'm having thinning at my temples...it really scares me to think I'll ever have a baby and sometimes I feel maybe I just shouldn't because I might just lose the rest of my hair. It's really sad how most people don't understand what a woman suffering from alopecia goes through. I wish I had a family as loving as yours btw. :)
I'd lose every hair on my head if it meant I got to be the Mama of my boys. :)
I'm also from India.. I also have alopecia .. It hurts me that I cant style my hair or do anything else other than but a ponytail or a small bun to cover up my head.. My hair started falling Wen i was in 7th grade.. I'm 17 now.. N hope some day I will start to look pretty again n have a normal life
Pritha Datta I know exactly what it feels like
selva rani I'm also from india.. I too have this problem.. from past 10 years I'll give you some tips which will help you to have a kind of normal life.. tc 😚
@@rashmisridhar3030 hey plz help me with ur suggestions..i m very depressed i lost lots of hair...in india its very difficult to find a good quality topper
Thx for sharing your story. I’m not alone
Ive always had thin hair and kept away from hair dressers because I was embarrassed. The last couple years has been bad emotionaly, especially this 3-4 months. Hair thinning getting so bad . Tried vitamin supplements for months and DHT blocker for a month, no change . Very interested in the coloring stuff. I remember losing so much hair after pregnancy , just balls of it. That was over 8 years ago.
love this! got off birth control after 15 years and now i have Telogen effluvium and have lost 1/2 of my hair now. I went back on it and its basically the same! EVERY doctor says its not related but hearing this helps me know it is true! now on rogaine and its helping but everyday it falls out for 2 years now :( so so sad
IMO there HAS to be a connection.
Hormone based hair loss is treatable unless you have scarring hairloss like scarring alopecia..give your body rest and detox..try taming your anagen and cortisol level with spearmint tea maca powder...having high testosterone and anagen..can cause a form of male pattern baldness in women...avoid fried food and meats with hormones and look into the 5:2 diet or less dramatic intermittent fasting to give your body a chance to balance itself out without outside influence..try hclf vegan but incorporating plant fat like avocados or hemp the are good for hormones. Stress snd excess supplementation can worsen the condition..i took multi vitamins with a high dose of vitamin a and it was terrible for liver and hair health
If you catch it early enough, perhaps. But, once your hair miniaturizes enough to the point where the follicle is dead, there's no coming back from it.
It is most certainly is related. In my searches online, I found Dr. Jolene Brighten, a functional medicine naturopathic doctor based in Portland, OR. She has a lot of information on her website about post birth control syndrome and how to recover from it naturally. She also has great info about PCOS if you are in that category. Hope this helps. Her info has helped me greatly! ✌🏼
thanks for sharing!
My hair loss is quite similar to yours. I am undergoing PRP. Its painful but i hope it works. The depression and anguish of losing my hair weighs me down everyday.
Let me know how it goes!
Quratulain Mansur please let us know how is your experience with prp?
has it been working for you? x
Same. I’m truly losing the mental battle. I can’t do this anymore
Hi I'm Andrea, and my hair is super thin and I'm only 15 and I don't know what's going on I really hate myself because I don't feel beautiful and I don't know what I've told my mom don't you take me to the doctor and they did lab work to see if there's anything wrong with my thyroid but everything came back negative nothing was wrong so now I'm scared that I might have what you have so yeah and you're beautiful just no matter okay I'm just really scared I don't like it when people make fun of me for this about my hair
I'm sorry you are dealing with this, Andrea. My labs always came back normal, too...I know it's frustrating. You might try a specialist that deals specifically with hormones...one that really digs into women's issues.
Go to a dermatologist
Thank you for sharing! I have lost at least half of my hair since I was 13 (now 21) and doctors didn't give a shit until I had almost bald spot in the middle of my scalp and not much left everywhere else, now they prescribed me minoxidil and vitamins but idk if they help.
Docs see me and still don't care. :) Sigh!
That sucks! I had to fight for every blood test and visit to an expert, because my dermatologist continued to tell me that it was normal to lose hair.
I know it - we definitely have to be our own advocates.
Did the spironolactone work well for you when you were on it?
It's amazing alot of people are going thru this.. I am one of those I had gone thru alot and know what your going thru. I am so fed up using hair fibers it's a pain trying to not fall on your face and if your head itches cant even scratch because it will leave a marc and remove some fibers and see your bald spots. It's really depressing I am still debating of toppers because since I do sweat alot I think it will itch and will be tapping my head all the time.. I envy those people that have beautiful and full hair .
Me too
has anyone ever tried DHT blockers like saw palmetto in supplements. I started about 3 weeks ago, noticed a drastic decrease in shedding and hope it continues to help. I just wondered if anyone saw regrowth with DHT blockers in supplements?
Jennifer Ann Fox Hi I'm from India. I've been using castor oil n vit e capsules topically for about 5 months and rosemary essential oil since this month...i hav both thyroid n pcos...ive seen a few new baby hairs...no reduction in hairfall though ....ive noticed u hav good hair in ur profile pic... Is there anything uve done that helped with ur hair??😢😢😢😞😞😞
Thanks for your advice, could you please talk about what are you doing? I can notice you've beautiful hair
How did the dht blockers go??? I started 1 month ago but no results as yet.
@@Truth77772 I did it for a month and didn’t see any change. I also tried hair vitamin capsules for 5 months with no change. it’s worse after stopping them so maybe they helped getting worse at least, but I’m also under a ton of stress.
Update?
Thank you for sharing! What is you favorite topper? What is the worst topper you have had? Thanks?👸😀
My favorite is my daily driver, Top Secret by Jon Renau. Worst...hmmm..."worst" is hard to say. If I tried a FABULOUS piece for newbies, Jon Renau easiPart, that would totally be the worst for me because it's so small and wouldn't provide me with enough coverage...but it's awesome for so many. I would probably say that Kanekelon fibers feel great at first but wear very quickly.
CornerOfHopeAndMane. Thanks! I was thinking of trying the Jon Renau easily part xl. Patti's pearls did a review on it and she suggested wearing it with the wider part in the front. I am thinking that may work for me as my hair is very short.😀
That could work!
Have you ever tried oral monoxidil?

please talk about Spiro soon, im dying because of this balding im 21. I used Spiro about a month but I quit because they say it can cause irregular periods
I will!
I advice you to take it in a half amount for a month then take it normally for the next months ( this can reduce side effects very well ) . It helps me a lot in regulating my periods
Hi, thanks for sharing so much! I really want to ask you: Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet? I’ve seen people talking about having great success with hair regrowth. Thanks✌️
.
Hey, did you try Minoxidil ?

Hi have you ordered from highline yet? Looking into a topper.
Thanks
Sorry for the delay, can't believe I missed this. I do have a piece from her...gorgeous. :)
I been wearing custom human hair toppers for 5 years very expensive.
2000$ each!!
I tried on swig the other day it bunches up in the back, don’t feel secure:/ I was disappointed.
Just trying to go more affordable.
I saw where you can make a topper out of a wig.
Anyways, my base on my topper has to be about 7 in x 7 in. For my coverage.
I have autoimmune illness been losing hair since age 21 when I was diagnosed.
My question is ,” What toppers do you recommend?”
I have to have bangs , so I cut bangs in them.
And have the cut to my liking.
Thank you for sharing !❤️I totally understand this battle...
Also And for me , my hair is short, so It has to be thicker also in the back for coverage so it doesn’t part or you see thru it...
Thanks again 😊
It's such a personal answer and completely depends on your budget, area of loss, lifestyle and preferences. :)
CornerOfHopeAndMane
Well I’m looking for toppers that are more affordable and prefer heat friendly but less than 2000$ each
I have watched so many videos and I’m hesitant to order one on the market.
The synthetic could work but I’ prefer blonde colors... and light rooting...
My bio hair is light brown . And at my shoulders but I blend it easily. As long as there is good coverage or density....
I don’t work. But stay busy with my 14 year old and I have a 21 year old.
I just need some back up pieces.
I was think about trying the Milan by noriko, or a racheal Welch topper?
Just any information or if you have experience with any major brand on the market. Would be great:) I have thinning on my entire head. With most on top. But hair is fragile, brittle, very unhealthy:(
Luckily I still have enough for toppers tho!
Sincerely and Thank you
😊
Milan isn't heat-friendly, so that's out. Have you checked into Jon Renau's easiParts? Those come in smaller sizes as well as larger and in human hair OR heat-friendly. Raquel Welch does have a heat-friendly topper, but I think only one option called Top Billing. Did you see my latest review on BelleTress? That's HF as well: ua-cam.com/video/XO6i7WMXiS0/v-deo.html
CornerOfHopeAndMane
Thank you!
I will look into this information:)
Silly question.
If birth control helped prior to HL do you think if you continue it will help with HL?
Thanks for sharing your story!!!❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I have a question, as I’m currently (still) debating if I go topper or wig: for you personally, when would you (if ever) start wearing a wig?
Someday yes (I'll have no choice). But for now, prefer toppers as I live in hot, hot Texas.
Did you notice when you were on the spironolactone that it helped with the hair loss? Did you ever find after the postpartum shed that your hair loss slowed? I’m in the middle of it now and I’m afraid it’s never going to stop coming out.
I wasn't on it long enough to know - I was only on it for about 5 months. And yes, after the PP shed my shedding definitely returned to normal. The post-partum shed is the worst...
CornerOfHopeAndMane it really is. Thanks for your videos, you help so many of us cope!
Thanks for sharing your story.. I also have a hair loss problem since 3rd yr high school, i'm 16 yrs old that time now i'm 34 still have a hair loss.. I tried a lot of product, i even consulted a doctor but still nothing to do about my problem.. But i'm still hoping that one day my hair loss problem will resolve..
Me too!
Did you get blood tests done? And then see a hair loss specialist? I solved my hairloss with iron. You lose iron during pregnancy..
90% of women with AGA have insulin resistance = the root cause of your HL. PCOS is not a disease, it is a symptom. I wasnt diagnosed with PCOS either, but I have all the symptoms, plus I am insulin resistant, which is the actual cause of AGA (sugar-insulin-hormones imbalance-pattern hailoss).
Yes, my body behaves better when I cut out processed food and white carbs.
Please tell me what is Aga and what is HL
.
Insulin resistance is type 2 diabetes. Or adult onset diabetes. Sincerely a type 1 diabetic
I'm going bold and don't know what I can do to deal with it, trying the fake her clip-on but you need some hair to do that! Very sad!!
You do need some hair for traditional application, but there are other ways to do it if not...tape, glue. In fact, I glue (with a super-strong gel) the front of my topper: cornerofhopeandmane.com/helper-hair/glue-toppers-wigs/
Not trying to promote, but you can see my hair loss problems here, do you think it will work on me? If you can do a demo video that'd be great!
ua-cam.com/video/_7qTkFyPKns/v-deo.html
A hair topper actually covers your entire scalp, which is what I use versus the little clip-in extensions. Have a look at this video as it shows how I do this from start to finish: ua-cam.com/video/vZxMuBkkgmQ/v-deo.html
Massive help and thank you sooooo much! I'll link this video for others
Good luck, Kiera! :)
Thanks for sharing ... had no idea there was colored dry shampoo! I need to try that ... are you still losing hair? I’ve been losing huge handfuls for years now ... I’m looking at toppers now. All my tests come back normal too ... this started after I got an iud and has continued even years after removal
Slowly but surely, yes. I've never been a big "loser" but what I shed doesn't come back, it seems.
Yeah.. my entire family has passed down androgenic alopecia. It seems to go towards the women mainly but men in our family also have it. My grandmother had it and all her children except ONE male didn’t have it. And all his kids also didn’t get it. But my aunt and my dad got it and they lost their hair completely. My aunt had 4 daughters and 3 our the 4 got it as well except for the youngest. They lost theirs around 30. My dad lost his hair and my brother lost his right out of highschool. My hair has been progressively thinning and I just hit 30. I’ve been actively looking at wigs and finally bought my first to start trying and wearing to get comfortable. My hair is EXTREMELY thin. I understand looking at other girls and how they style their hair and how they play with looks.. and I could never do that :(. My sister never got the gene either. I also have cousins who are girls that have also lost their hair. So... in our family it’s overwhelming. I’ve had blood work done and I’m healthy... it’s just this thing that has been passed down :(.
And also, I’ve had 2 children. And my hair was its thickest while I was pregnant. Which is why I thought maybe my estrogen is low... well all my levels are normal :/. I’m learning to try to come to terms with my hair loss and own it by finding wigs I like. And I was prescribed that medicine as well.... cannot! Spell it lol! And I read ALL up on that medicine and felt that I didn’t need to take something that could affect my body negatively long term, just for the hope that I could KEEP the hair that was on my head. He said I wouldn’t see new growth. Just keep what I had. Which I’m not happy with anyway so I was like, what’s the point. Lol
That's so sad, Leti! And so random that it might hit one family member and not the other.
I started to loose my hair since I was 24, today I am 65 and the problem is worse of course :( . I feel sorry for myself and all women, who are haveing that problem.Oh well....
I try everything oil egg mask multivitamin nothing happened....
Have you ever been diagnosed with PCOS?
HI there! I swore I responded to this. Not formally, nope. All my levels were always in range. While I have presented with cystic ovaries in my past, my last few scans have not showed any. (and if for some reason this is a double reply, apologies!)
I was born with a "cradle cap" and diagnosed with Seborrheic Dermatitis (a type of Eczema). It disappeared and I had wonderful hair during childhood, but it came back during puberty and my hair got progressively thinner and scarcer... I tried EVERY kind of doctor and treatment and nothing fixed my hair loss and super thin hair. I finally started wearing toppers in my late 20s.
I also always had issues with my periods and I've been on the pill for many years. I want to try to get pregnant later this year and I was looking forward to the healthier hair that most women experience, but now I know it might get even worse... T_T Oh well.. guess I might need a bigger topper...
Hang in there, Cheila! I think my pregnancy hair was a bit of an anomaly.
Do you consider to try hair transplant?
No, they works for SO few women.
CornerOfHopeAndMane try it who knows it will work for you too 😊
I'll send you the bill. ;)

39 and diagnosed with androgenic alopecia.
You solved my hair loss! My husband noticed a small bald spot after I had my traumatic event!!!
Twin Boys!!!
I heard that dry shampoos are really bad for thinning hair and can make hair fall worse...
There is so much conflicting information about what will help thinning hair and hair fall.
Its very disheartening when searching for solutions and the advice is wrong and it makes the condition worse...
Im at my wits end with all this.
It's all frustrating, huh? I can only speak about my personal story, and will tell you that I haven't experienced any additional shedding and I still use dry shampoo to this day. My alopecia is caused by DHT, which all bodies product, that attacks the hair follicle. So, the issue comes internally rather than externally.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for listening to me ramble. :)
veryy nice womenn..
Shave it off
sort the volume before you do a vid hun
Nothing I can do about it now!
@@CornerOfHopeAndMane what about thanks for letting me know!
I wasn't trying to be rude, just saying there's nothing I can do about it now. :) Luckily, devices have adjustable volume. If you look at current videos, you'll notice I use a microphone now. :)
S. You are the one who sounds /reads rude. Hun? Really?
Ladies stop all drama about hair !!!! Thank your god you are healthy you live in a beautiful country your familly arr not starving !!! You cancer free . people dont realize that they have many beautiful things in life they just focus of what they dont have ! Hair !!😒😒😒 com onn
If hair is not an issue for you then why are you here? Perhaps you could take all that wonderful perspective and do something better with your time.
So cancer is the only think in the world that can cause upset? 🤔
I wish i have cancer but didn't have fucking AGA
@@basmabiba4372 You will go bald anyway because of chemo. Seriously, why are people saying such stupid things? Every cancer patient would be more than happy to have AGA instead of cancer, you disgraceful brat.
Shut up. My hair loss is from two autoimmune diseases. I won’t see old age. Most people with hair loss under the age of 40 are usually unwell. So shut up, shut the f up.
