i'm 32, and this has caused me so much embarrassment, sadness, and anxiety. i was never a super vain person, and i had no idea just how devastated i would be by my drastic hair thinning and loss. thank you so much for sharing. it really does help to not feel so alone.
I feel exactly like this. I keep telling myself I don’t want to be bald and I tell myself it’s okay, but deep down I feel horrible because it’s bald in the front, this year has been falling the worst. I don’t know what else to do with it, I hate wearing headbands and hats I’m so over it, I wish I can accept it and move on with my life ugh. I seen my hair slowly falling for 10 years I’m 35 now:(
People like us are severely underrepresented. Thank you so much for saying all the things we’re feeling. I have no one in my life who understands this.
I’m so proud of this beautiful woman, I’ve being a witness of her struggle and I know I would never really understand how hard it is to deal with this problem but what I know is that you need to be strong and get over fears. As a friend/sister I feel so lucky that I have had such an amazing model of strength and determination.
The mix of Spanish and Scottish is hypnotising! Im beginning to think that this hairloss is a normal part of life that we have stumbled upon due to age (30+) Why did they not tell us??🤣
Thank you so much for the compliment! I have been suffering Hairloss since I am 14 years old and I know in my case it is due genetics. My grandmother is completely bold... but I know due age and specially stress, hair loss is normal but no spoken because the cannons of beauty for women is to have thick hair... 😞
I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this. It was so interesting to hear your story. Regardless of your hair loss, you are absolutely beautiful AND you can see that the beauty radiates from the inside too and that is the most important thing. Happy to have found your channel.
Thank you so much for making this video, I started losing my hair about 2 yrs ago, in my mid 30's and it hasn't gotten worse really but it certainly hasn't gotten better. My doctors say there isnt any noticeable reason for it and I dont have $$ for treatments.So my hair is in a high ponytail at all times cause any other way the baldness on my crown shows...it's extremely devastating and no one in my life understands how painful this is or how ugly and useless it makes me feel, thanks for bringing some awareness
Hi Aleia! I am so sorry to hear you are going through the same struggle... it is really hard to have to live with it, especially when there is hardly any support. But remember, you are not the alone. There are millions of us with the same problem and it is Ok. DO NOT BRING YOURSELF DOWN! You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. 💜💜💜
I started extreme hair fall just before 4 years..... I avoided it due to my busy schedule... And now I m avoiding all my schedule due to my hair... Time is more important...
I appreciate you sharing your story, genuinely one of the most upsetting things to go thru as a woman, knowing that I’m not alone makes it seem a lot less scarier, muchas gracias a ti
Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. It is very difficult for women, but I am hoping to create a save space so people can share their story feeling non-judged xxx
Cici,te quiero agradecer muchísimo los vídeos que haces y las soluciones que nos das. En este caso no hablo solo por mí,sino por mi madre. Lleva años perdiendo pelo y buscando la manera de esconder el blanco del cuero cabelludo. Cuando vi tu vídeo sobre las fibras de Beaver, se las compré sin que ella estuviera muy convencida. Cuando se la has echo no se lo pudo creer, porque parece que realmente tiene pelo. Incluso va por la calle mirándose en los espejos y con más autoestima. Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia y tus soluciones. 😘
Hola Alejandra! Como me alegro que mis vídeos te gusten y sobretodo he le hayan ayudado a tu madre. A mi estas fibras me han cambiado la vida. Yo al principio también me miraba en los reflejos de la tiendas 🥰 Te mando un abrazo enorme para ti y para tu madre!! 💜💜💜
Im 35 and my grandma along with her daughter are severely plagued by hair loss. Im talking like 10 strands on a whole head. I see my hair thinning all over and I know whats waiting for me. All my grandmas sisters also have thin hair and wore wigs from super young. I hear youre spanish , but I hear so much Irish! anyways, thanks for sharing your journey. This makes me feel so much better.
Hi Stephanie. My gran is completely bold, but she has never looked after her hair. I know her sister also had hair loss problems but she managed to keep her hair by looking after it. I am Spanish but I lived in Ireland for a while. I now live in Scotland and I am married to a Scottish guy. Thank you so much for your kind words! I love supporting people that is suffering with the same as me... 💜💜💜
I am 34, I am healthy, no hormone or underlying issue. I have thin hair forever..from 12 years of age. Now you can see my scalp much more as I have very straight fine hair. You are the only other person I have seen on UA-cam exactly like me. Much love from India. Very brave of you. I can feel you.
drmusicfun hi! Thank you for dropping a message. I am really sorry you are experiencing the same as I have. It is really difficult to live with it! But it is good to know you are not by yourself 🥰🥰🥰 much love from Scotland!
Thank you for sharing your story! I am 23 and I had concerns about my hair thinning three years ago. My PCP at the time told me not to worry about it, he didn't see any signs. A month ago, I went to the dermatologist and had two doctors confirm, immediately, that I had signs of female pattern balding. I was so nervous but it was nice to have them validate my concerns and work on steps I could take to hopefully help this situation. I hope you are doing well!!
Thank you so very much for sharing your video!! I too have searched for those who may have had the same issue as myself for the last 2 years and you are the 1st one whom I have come across that explains exactly what is happening to my hair, the extreme emotional distress it causes as well as the PRP treatments. I have just completed my 3rd round of PRP with one more to go next month. I have not noticed a a significant change as it may still be too early to tell but I too am documenting my progress. I am excited for your journey and you definitely have a new subbie!!
Blizs Denim hi! Thank you so much for getting in touch! The main reason why I stated this channel is because i know there are thousands of women in the same situation and no one speaks about it. That’s amazing about the PRP. Are you documenting it on UA-cam? I am waiting to start my sessions with the clinic, but due to Covid, it is difficult to find time. Please let me know how are you get on as it is amazing knowing about other experiences.💜💜💜💜
Hi Cici! Just stumbled upon your video. Thanks so much for sharing your story, I know it takes a lot of courage, as female hair loss is a topic that is not talked about enough in the mainstream and it really impacts our mental health and self esteem. I noticed my hair thin drastically about 3 years ago at 28, now almost 31 it hasn't gotten much better and I'm trying to get help, but it's crazy to think I didn't even know women could have hair loss at all! (other than maybe at old age). That is how awfully unaware we are to these issues that are actually quite common, as I have come to learn. We need more acceptance and awareness in our society, and learning stories of others like you, who are so brave to share their stories publicly, really inspire me and fill me with hope. I wish you the best on your journey! Buena suerte ✨
Hi Aurora! Thank you so much for watching my video and most importantly, reaching out! It is extremely difficult for a woman to open up about an issue like this one as it is not accepted in society. So is we talk about it, it will get accepted quicker... you are not alone 💜💜💜
Also started losing my hair in my late teens. It’s been almost 10 years now. I felt like there was something wrong with me but it’s nice to hear that others go through this that early in life. I’ve worn wigs for a few years now and shaved all my hair off (which was so freeing) because trying to hide it everyday was just too much work. I do love wearing alt hair but I did want to give my hair another shot as the hair loss is not too advanced yet, so I decided to start minoxidil. It’s not been long enough to show results but I’m excited to hear about your journey :)
Hi Daize. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It sucks being bald, but at least I am very healthy in other ways.you are definitely not alone! Let me know how you get on with the minoxidil xxx
New subscriber. I am a little bit older than you (39), have similar hair type and suffer the same problem. It's lovely to see someone just talking about it and sharing info. I am really struggling atm with my hair loss and its really getting me down. Mine is further along than yours and recent stress has probably made if worse. This video made me feel a bit better though. Off to watch the others:)
Hi Lorraine. Thank you so much for y sharing your story with me! Is good to know we are not alone... since lockdown I am trying not to use the hair fibers so much to give my scalp a break but I can see the problem all the time and it is heartbreaking... I started PRP almost three months ago and I am about to upload an update video. Xxx
I am only doing PRP treatment at the moment so no acell. I also use minoxidil and essential oils. Apparently you start to see results after 6 months of treatment...
Thank you so so much for your support and love! If you have any questions or feel you want to share your experience, please get in touch in the comment section and I will answer all your queries 💜💜💜
Thank you for being brave enough to make this video. I would never know you suffered from hair loss, your hair looks so thick and beautiful. I am now going to watch your other video to see how you make it like that! I am 36 and started losing my hair 2 years ago. Like you, the doctors said my hormones etc are normal so it must be genetic. My gran and mum both suffer with hair loss too, but for them it didn't start until after menopause.
Candle Wick hi! Thank you for getting in touch and for sharing your story. As you can see, you are not the only one. Just like you, my gran started to lose hair after menopause so I think it makes it a bit more difficult. Thank you so much for the compliment and let me know if you like my other video. Xxx
Thank you for your video, I'm going through hairloss, exactly like you. It's very scary, sad, and it breaks my heart. I'm a very healthy women according to all my blood tests. Sooo... I'm doing the best I can to care for the little bit of hair I do have left. And I'm praying for God to restore my hair, in Jesus name. I'm praying for you and the ladies going through this problem. God will heal your hair if you only believe he will. He died on the cross for us and has paid the price for us to have life and good health. God bless you and praying for you.
You look stunning anyway! I 100% feel you cause I suffer from the same disease and PCOS on top of that... Hormones are the hardest things to manage in our bodies! Have you ever tried to buy a DHT blocker supplement? The first one I've tried was from KMAX and now I'm trying Foligain! Try also a combination of rosemary and peppermint essential oils! All the best
I feel like this and understand how you feel, I’ve been losing my hair slowly for 10 years and this year is bald in the front and sides, I usually wear headbands and hats which I hate, I feel ashamed too and I wish I didn’t care, honestly the stress that comes over me thinking it’s going to get worst is unbelievable. I’m subscribed to see your journey just know that there’s people out here in the same boat sweetheart and hope you find a cure!
Hi gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your story with me. It is awful to suffer from this, but at least we know we are not by ourselves and we can support each other. Thank you so much for subscribing 💜💜💜
You are a beautiful courageous woman!! I until I had a total hysterectomy as a result of uterine cancer I had pretty thick hair all my life. Six month after my surgery my hairs started thing because I no longer had ovaries producing estrogen and could not take estrogen because the cancer I had was estrogen feeding. In dealing with this what I have discovered for me what enhances my loss is when my Vitamin D level drops below normal which happens for me living in a cold climate during the winter month so I under my doctor's direction I have to increase the dosing of my Vitamin D supplements. You are so right that although we may share the same hair loss issue the cause can be very different. Never give up hope, and prayer too does help because the Bible tells us that God knows the count of every hair on our heads, and if hair was not important He would not created us with it.
Thank you so much for such beautiful words and for sharing your story with me. It is really difficult to open up about the things that have a big negative impact in our lives. I also take vitamin d, I live in a country that gets dark really quickly. Xxx
@@CiciCastresana Y yo uno mas grande! depaso el shampoo con cafeína puede ayudar un montón, y te recomiendo que vayas a un dr integrativo en algún momento si podes, quizás te puedan ayudar! A veces los drs nos dicen que esta todo tranquilo cuando en realidad no tenemos los resultados óptimos para la mejoracion del crecimiento de nuestro cabello! Mucha suerte linda :)
Hello, I am 54 years old and started to notice my hair go thin at about twenty 1 or twenty two. I also suffer from female patern baldness, it comes from my father and the rest of his familly. I went to a dermatology by then i was prescribed with minoxidil which i used for almost thirty years now. It is not the perfect sollution, there are some places in my head where i have to try hard not to be too revealing , but it has provided me with a little bit of relief and confidence because some hair does really grow. I don´t now if this is for everyone, it is expensive, demanding and tiring some times but it has helped me. good look and be brave.
Hi Alexandra. Thank you for telling your story. I started losing my hair with puberty but thanks if minoxidil I can keep some of my hair. I just hope the doctors will come up with something better soon… xxx
@@CiciCastresana Hy again Cici , In the last 3 months I have been trying coffe, rosemary oil, onion juice, rice juice, apple cider vineger and lemon, wth the shampoo or applied directly in my scalp and I can say that there are some new hairs growing all over my head and the hair itself has become fuller, healthier in a way i believe it has never been probably my hole life. I usually use one of these products once or twice a week not more because i am afraid it might be too much for me, my hair doesn´t like olive oil nor castor oil, they make my hair fall in large scale, but you may try it in a small part of your hair if you think it will be good for you. I am also using ginger water ( put some ginger slices in water for some days and then rub the hair with it. The last few days i have already reduced the amount of times i use minoxidil . Use it one day , the other i don´t and it has been ok, not noticing hair fall. Since I started this procedure, also demanding in hours spent and some eforth, I have not seen hair falling wich is strange for me,the hair is strong. Maybe you could try this . Perhaps it will help you too. Hope you try it and tell me if it has been good for you . By the way, I am Portuguese wich is funny because we are comunicating in english with each other.
Darlene Jeffrey thank you! I will be posting various videos with info and support with women like me! Tell her to subscribe so she won’t miss any thing... xx
Check into adding A- Cell to the PRP and finding a provider that doesn’t do a series of injections which can cause trauma to the scalp and cause hair loss. A Dr in New York speaks of the proper process to these injections.
@@CiciCastresana I am also about to switch to oral minoxidil...and oral spironolactone....to address the DHT which is what causes the condition.. I hope you get good results!
Hi Darlinka, You are not the first person who have mention Dr Sergio Vañó to me. I am planning to visit my family next February so I will arrange an appointment with him and I will update on my channel my experience. Thank you for the tip! 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your story. My mom and grandmother suffer from this. I really noticed my when I was 20 and now it is getting really bad. I am always worried that my coworkers are looking at my scalp. I am trying to look into treatments but it is so expensive.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your story. I am in the same position as you... i use hair fibers to hide my bald and I made a video about it. They have changed my life. Also, I just started a new treatment called PRP and I am documenting it if you are interested? Xx
Gracias,de verdad.yo tenia un cabello y rizos hermosos y no me queda nada..esta super fino y entradas y quedado calva.. me ha costado y trato de convencerme q voy a estar bien. ES LO UNICO QUE ME GUSTABA DE MI 😪
Hola preciosa! Sabes una cosa? Eres perfecta tal y como eres. Tu pelo no te define, si no la persona a la que llevas dentro… te mando un abrazo y mucho ánimo ❤️❤️
I am 21 years old and I suffer with the same issue. I have been suffering since I was in my teens but now you can visibly see my scalp. I really want to do the pro treatment but it is. quite expensive in London plus I am a university student so I can't afford it :(
@@CiciCastresana i have tried it but it makes my scalp quite itchy and uncomfortable 😞 I am starting dermaneedling I shall see if that makes a difference
oh and my hair is just as curly as yours. Do. you think this will be our saving grace? like do you think the curl and its volume will enough to mask the thinning longer than somene w/straight hair?
I was just diagnosed with aga on Thursday. I am devestated. I’m 36 and this doesn’t run in our genes on either side of our family so I don’t understand how I suddenly got it. I’ve been struggling so bad mentally since I found out :(
Hi Sia, I am sorry to hear you are also suffering from the same thing. I can only send you my love and to say you are not the only one. There are thousands like us. I am also 36 years old and apart from my gran, everyone else in my family has the thickest hair. I hope my videos give you some hope and you find them helpful xxxx
@@CiciCastresana I feel less alone since finding you on here. Nobody in our family has hair loss. We’ve gone far back and not a one. It makes no sense. :( I can’t stop thinking about what to do about it or how fast it will progress or if I should just shave it now and get it over with since nothing stops the hair loss anyhow. It just slows it down. (If it works) 😔 What did you do with your bio hair? I’m afraid a wig will just be a constant reminder of this diagnosis. My heart is breaking and my mental health too. Are you on Facebook by any chance? ❤️❤️ Thankyou for your understanding words. I know we’re not alone. I’m just not handling the news well. I’ve lost complete joy and motivation in life. I hate the mirror knowing I’m going to lose what I have and that my hair isn’t going to grow anymore. I just don’t want to watch it get worse more than anything. It’s also getting extremely oily now so I don’t like my hair already. I just wish I could go back to 3 years ago when it was just thinning out from age but that was all. :( I’m going to continue to follow your journey. You’re inspiring and make me feel less alone. It’s hardest when you’re offline and alone battling it.
Hair loss is almost always hormonal ...even if the blood doesn't show anything...we are sensitive to DHT which causes the hair to fall out and miniaturize... you need to go on spironolactone and minoxidil asap...even low doses you will see improvement!!speak to your dermatologist for very low dose .
I have female pattern baldness and i m considering doing a hair transplant. I' m 47 years old and i have had alopecia androgenetica for almost 25 years. And my dermatoloog advised me to go a head and do a hair transplant. I whish you good luck and thank you for your answer.
Hi Zuzana! I’m sorry to hear that... I am undergoing PRP treatment. I just had my third session today and I will be uploading a video at the end of January as it will half way through the treatment. X
Hi Jasmine, I’m so sorry you have lost all that hair after covid… unfortunately, I don’t have the answer to your question as my type of Hairloss is completely different than yours. My Hairloss is due genetics. I haven’t been nor I am sick, it just falls off… however, what I know is that hair grows VERY slowly and people seems to see results after 6 months or so… xxx
@@CiciCastresana I do not think so but I have mac shade on my mind I think it is similar it is called 'plumful'it is hard to find the adequate shade of a lipstick and it is exactly the colour that I love and you are pretty as well😘
Thankyou so much for the sharing it story.i m 23 year old my hair is thinning n doctor told me it's a female pattern hair loss n it takes time to come back. Also doctor suggest me prp treatment n I m confused to take or not.
Kauser Khan hi! I am really sorry to hear you are suffering from the same problem. It really takes time for the treatment to start work. I will be having PRP treatment, hopefully soon. Depending on the COVID restrictions and I am planning to document the entire process, to help women like you to make a decision. So keep an eye in my channel. Don’t give up, you are not the only one! 💜💜💜
@@CiciCastresana before I used minoxidil after 1 month my hair falling out like hell 300-400 every day n I stopped using it .then hairfall stopped after 1 month but my hair become very thin .n now dr. Gave me well hair growth serum let's see how it will work N he gave me lots of vitamin n mineral supplement
Kauser Khan I have always tried new things. Research is done on groups of people and not on an individual basis, so it is really good that you are trying things out and see what works for you? Let me know how you are getting on 💜💜💜

I am now going to watch your other video to see how you make it like that! I am 36 and started losing my hair 2 years ago. Like you, the doctors said my hormones etc are normal so it must be genetic. My gran and mum both suffer with hair loss too, but for them it didn't start until after menopause.
Candle Wick hi! Thank you for getting in touch and for sharing your story. As you can see, you are not the only one. Just like you, my gran started to lose hair after menopause so I think it makes it a bit more difficult.
Thank you so much for the compliment and let me know if you like my other video. Xxx
Thank you for your video, I'm going through hairloss, exactly like you. It's very scary, sad, and it breaks my heart. I'm a very healthy women according to all my blood tests. Sooo... I'm doing the best I can to care for the little bit of hair I do have left. And I'm praying for God to restore my hair, in Jesus name. I'm praying for you and the ladies going through this problem. God will heal your hair if you only believe he will. He died on the cross for us and has paid the price for us to have life and good health.
God bless you and praying for you.
Hi Roberta,
Thank you for your kind words and your prayers 💜💜💜💜
You look stunning anyway! I 100% feel you cause I suffer from the same disease and PCOS on top of that... Hormones are the hardest things to manage in our bodies! Have you ever tried to buy a DHT blocker supplement? The first one I've tried was from KMAX and now I'm trying Foligain! Try also a combination of rosemary and peppermint essential oils! All the best
I have started taking saw palmetto but I haven’t seen much results...
thank you so much for your compliment and good luck with your journey! Xxx
I feel like this and understand how you feel, I’ve been losing my hair slowly for 10 years and this year is bald in the front and sides, I usually wear headbands and hats which I hate, I feel ashamed too and I wish I didn’t care, honestly the stress that comes over me thinking it’s going to get worst is unbelievable. I’m subscribed to see your journey just know that there’s people out here in the same boat sweetheart and hope you find a cure!
Hi gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing your story with me. It is awful to suffer from this, but at least we know we are not by ourselves and we can support each other. Thank you so much for subscribing 💜💜💜
You are a beautiful courageous woman!! I until I had a total hysterectomy as a result of uterine cancer I had pretty thick hair all my life. Six month after my surgery my hairs started thing because I no longer had ovaries producing estrogen and could not take estrogen because the cancer I had was estrogen feeding. In dealing with this what I have discovered for me what enhances my loss is when my Vitamin D level drops below normal which happens for me living in a cold climate during the winter month so I under my doctor's direction I have to increase the dosing of my Vitamin D supplements. You are so right that although we may share the same hair loss issue the cause can be very different. Never give up hope, and prayer too does help because the Bible tells us that God knows the count of every hair on our heads, and if hair was not important He would not created us with it.
Thank you so much for such beautiful words and for sharing your story with me. It is really difficult to open up about the things that have a big negative impact in our lives. I also take vitamin d, I live in a country that gets dark really quickly. Xxx
Nena sos hermosa!! no te preocupes hay cosas que podes hacer para hacer las cosas mejores
E Nadine muchísimas gracias por tus palabras y tu ánimo!!! Te mando un abrazo enorme!!
@@CiciCastresana Y yo uno mas grande! depaso el shampoo con cafeína puede ayudar un montón, y te recomiendo que vayas a un dr integrativo en algún momento si podes, quizás te puedan ayudar! A veces los drs nos dicen que esta todo tranquilo cuando en realidad no tenemos los resultados óptimos para la mejoracion del crecimiento de nuestro cabello! Mucha suerte linda :)
Enhorabuena amiga, eres muy grande! Lots of love!
Muchas gracias preciosa!!!
Hello, I am 54 years old and started to notice my hair go thin at about twenty 1 or twenty two. I also suffer from female patern baldness, it comes from my father and the rest of his familly. I went to a dermatology by then i was prescribed with minoxidil which i used for almost thirty years now. It is not the perfect sollution, there are some places in my head where i have to try hard not to be too revealing , but it has provided me with a little bit of relief and confidence because some hair does really grow. I don´t now if this is for everyone, it is expensive, demanding and tiring some times but it has helped me. good look and be brave.
Hi Alexandra. Thank you for telling your story. I started losing my hair with puberty but thanks if minoxidil I can keep some of my hair. I just hope the doctors will come up with something better soon… xxx
@@CiciCastresana Hy again Cici , In the last 3 months I have been trying coffe, rosemary oil, onion juice, rice juice, apple cider vineger and lemon, wth the shampoo or applied directly in my scalp and I can say that there are some new hairs growing all over my head and the hair itself has become fuller, healthier in a way i believe it has never been probably my hole life. I usually use one of these products once or twice a week not more because i am afraid it might be too much for me, my hair doesn´t like olive oil nor castor oil, they make my hair fall in large scale, but you may try it in a small part of your hair if you think it will be good for you. I am also using ginger water ( put some ginger slices in water for some days and then rub the hair with it. The last few days i have already reduced the amount of times i use minoxidil . Use it one day , the other i don´t and it has been ok, not noticing hair fall. Since I started this procedure, also demanding in hours spent and some eforth, I have not seen hair falling wich is strange for me,the hair is strong. Maybe you could try this . Perhaps it will help you too. Hope you try it and tell me if it has been good for you . By the way, I am Portuguese wich is funny because we are comunicating in english with each other.
Don't cry I can feel you. God bless.
Thanks Juhi 🥰
Well done Cici my friend is keen to follow your journey as she suffers from hair loss too.
Darlene Jeffrey thank you! I will be posting various videos with info and support with women like me! Tell her to subscribe so she won’t miss any thing... xx
Hi Dear,
Go for the PRP treatment its very good.My sister got alepecia and did PRP .Now she has got regrowth in Bald areas.She is extemely happy.
Mrs Saad thank you so much for the feedback! I have my consultation on Tuesday and I can’t wait to get started! Xxx
@@CiciCastresana Hey...how did the drop sessions go?🥺
Check into adding A- Cell to the PRP and finding a provider that doesn’t do a series of injections which can cause trauma to the scalp and cause hair loss. A Dr in New York speaks of the proper process to these injections.
I have this too to some extent....you can treat it with minoxidil and spironolactone. No need to suffer with this ! These treatments work!
Hi Rita, I have been using topical minoxidil for years and stopped working a year ago. I have switched to oral minoxidil and hopefully it will work x
@@CiciCastresana I am also about to switch to oral minoxidil...and oral spironolactone....to address the DHT which is what causes the condition.. I hope you get good results!
@@justritasimi you too xxx
Your beautiful. I’m starting my first unit here in a week or two.
My great great aunt suffered from hair loss at a young age, I’m 26 and been noticing my hair is thinning a lot.
I’m really sorry to hear that. It looks like we are in the same situation... I hope you find my videos helpful xxx
Celia, there's a hair clinic run by Sergio vañó in Spain that I think would be really helpful for you
Hi Darlinka,
You are not the first person who have mention Dr Sergio Vañó to me.
I am planning to visit my family next February so I will arrange an appointment with him and I will update on my channel my experience. Thank you for the tip! 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your story. My mom and grandmother suffer from this. I really noticed my when I was 20 and now it is getting really bad. I am always worried that my coworkers are looking at my scalp. I am trying to look into treatments but it is so expensive.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your story. I am in the same position as you... i use hair fibers to hide my bald and I made a video about it. They have changed my life.
Also, I just started a new treatment called PRP and I am documenting it if you are interested? Xx
@@CiciCastresana Yes, I have been looking into it for last few years. Thanks you!
Gracias,de verdad.yo tenia un cabello y rizos hermosos y no me queda nada..esta super fino y entradas y quedado calva.. me ha costado y trato de convencerme q voy a estar bien. ES LO UNICO QUE ME GUSTABA DE MI 😪
Hola preciosa! Sabes una cosa? Eres perfecta tal y como eres. Tu pelo no te define, si no la persona a la que llevas dentro… te mando un abrazo y mucho ánimo ❤️❤️
You are beautiful.Please dont be sad
Thank you so so much! I am so lucky I have amazing support around me, I’m not sad anymore… xxx
Thank you so much for sharing
En dónde compras tus toppers?
I am 21 years old and I suffer with the same issue. I have been suffering since I was in my teens but now you can visibly see my scalp. I really want to do the pro treatment but it is. quite expensive in London plus I am a university student so I can't afford it :(
Sorry to hear you are going through the same…. Have you tried hair fibers? I have a video on my channel. Check it out!
@@CiciCastresana i have tried it but it makes my scalp quite itchy and uncomfortable 😞 I am starting dermaneedling I shall see if that makes a difference
Ladies ..there are effective treatments for this . .minoxidil and spironolactone...they work really well .
oh and my hair is just as curly as yours. Do. you think this will be our saving grace? like do you think the curl and its volume will enough to mask the thinning longer than somene w/straight hair?
Hi gorgeous! I think having curly hair really helps to look thicker, so at least we are really lucky with that 😉 xxx
I was just diagnosed with aga on Thursday. I am devestated. I’m 36 and this doesn’t run in our genes on either side of our family so I don’t understand how I suddenly got it. I’ve been struggling so bad mentally since I found out :(
Hi Sia, I am sorry to hear you are also suffering from the same thing. I can only send you my love and to say you are not the only one. There are thousands like us. I am also 36 years old and apart from my gran, everyone else in my family has the thickest hair. I hope my videos give you some hope and you find them helpful xxxx
@@CiciCastresana I feel less alone since finding you on here. Nobody in our family has hair loss. We’ve gone far back and not a one. It makes no sense. :( I can’t stop thinking about what to do about it or how fast it will progress or if I should just shave it now and get it over with since nothing stops the hair loss anyhow. It just slows it down. (If it works) 😔 What did you do with your bio hair? I’m afraid a wig will just be a constant reminder of this diagnosis. My heart is breaking and my mental health too. Are you on Facebook by any chance? ❤️❤️
Thankyou for your understanding words. I know we’re not alone. I’m just not handling the news well. I’ve lost complete joy and motivation in life. I hate the mirror knowing I’m going to lose what I have and that my hair isn’t going to grow anymore. I just don’t want to watch it get worse more than anything. It’s also getting extremely oily now so I don’t like my hair already. I just wish I could go back to 3 years ago when it was just thinning out from age but that was all. :(
I’m going to continue to follow your journey. You’re inspiring and make me feel less alone. It’s hardest when you’re offline and alone battling it.
Hair loss is almost always hormonal ...even if the blood doesn't show anything...we are sensitive to DHT which causes the hair to fall out and miniaturize... you need to go on spironolactone and minoxidil asap...even low doses you will see improvement!!speak to your dermatologist for very low dose .
I hope that you will put an Arabic translation for this video, as I will not have this problem
Hallo, why do you not consider a hair transplant?
Unfortunately is not an option for me… it doesn’t work very well for women
I have female pattern baldness and i m considering doing a hair transplant. I' m 47 years old and i have had alopecia androgenetica for almost 25 years. And my dermatoloog advised me to go a head and do a hair transplant.
I whish you good luck and thank you for your answer.
@@bouchraeljabri5362 thank you for letting me know. My dermatologist has told me it might not work and end up worse of, so i don’t want to chance it x
Hey can you please connect more on the prp treatment
Hi Nive,
Have a look at my channel. I had the treatment and I posted videos with all updates 💜💜💜
I just found out i have the same alopecia. Do you think microneedling could help? I am so desperate 😢
Hi Zuzana! I’m sorry to hear that... I am undergoing PRP treatment. I just had my third session today and I will be uploading a video at the end of January as it will half way through the treatment. X
Ma'am how long does it take for the hair to grow back and look normal 🙏
I lost 70% of my hair post covid ...
Hi Jasmine, I’m so sorry you have lost all
that hair after covid… unfortunately, I don’t have the answer to your question as my type of Hairloss is completely different than yours. My Hairloss is due genetics. I haven’t been nor I am sick, it just falls off… however, what I know is that hair grows VERY slowly and people seems to see results after 6 months or so… xxx
Generally about six months for you to see improvement after an illness
What is the name of your lipstick the colour is great.
Hi Carolina! It is called “Deep Plum” and it is from Number 7 at Boots. I put it on a lot... I think it goes really well if you have dark hair...
@@CiciCastresana thanks only that we do not have Boots here in Serbia .yes it suits you pretty well the colour is great
@@carolinaherrera4598 thank you very much!
You might be able to get it online?
@@CiciCastresana I do not think so but I have mac shade on my mind I think it is similar it is called 'plumful'it is hard to find the adequate shade of a lipstick and it is exactly the colour that I love and you are pretty as well😘
@@carolinaherrera4598 thank you so much!!!! Yes, I think you might be able to find this shade in pretty much every provider...
Porque el título en castellano y el video en INGLÉS? No hay subtítulos. No entiendo nada😢
Hola pilar. Tengo que poner los subtítulos en español. A ver si puedo pronto... un abrazo muy grande!
Gracias
Do you have a Facebook page?
drmusicfun no, sorry! I was thinking to maybe do one for female pattern baldness
Thankyou so much for the sharing it story.i m 23 year old my hair is thinning n doctor told me it's a female pattern hair loss n it takes time to come back.
Also doctor suggest me prp treatment n I m confused to take or not.
Kauser Khan hi! I am really sorry to hear you are suffering from the same problem. It really takes time for the treatment to start work. I will be having PRP treatment, hopefully soon. Depending on the COVID restrictions and I am planning to document the entire process, to help women like you to make a decision. So keep an eye in my channel.
Don’t give up, you are not the only one! 💜💜💜
@@CiciCastresana before I used minoxidil after 1 month my hair falling out like hell 300-400 every day n I stopped using it .then hairfall stopped after 1 month but my hair become very thin .n now dr. Gave me well hair growth serum let's see how it will work
N he gave me lots of vitamin n mineral supplement
Kauser Khan I have always tried new things. Research is done on groups of people and not on an individual basis, so it is really good that you are trying things out and see what works for you? Let me know how you are getting on 💜💜💜
@@CiciCastresana Sure!! 😊
But I also want to go with the naturopath treatment because it has no side effects.
Did u ever use minoxidil??
Kauser Khan I have been using minoxidil for years now. I have a video about this:
ua-cam.com/video/dM0-sqfSYpo/v-deo.html
Do you take finasteride or spironolactone? Do you use Minoxidil? Have you ever tried rosemary and peppermint oil?
Hi Aline,
I use minoxidil, supplements and essential oils. I never used finasteride but I am considering it… 🥰🥰
Im 21 n im going through this😭
