I put the camera in a different spot today...windows behind me, no light on my face. Not my fave, we won't do that again LOL
Also, I am only wearing SPF in this video (on my skin, I have eye makeup on) AND I am still pink from sauna 🤷♀️. I hadn't planned to film this that day but here we are :))
So apologies it's so bright. IF the sound is also "off" (it's not for me, but it might be for you) I filmed this the same time (within a day) as my video last week and some setting must be on or off. I will have it fixed before my next video. A. talented videographer and editor I am not!

Hi Penn, thanks for another awesome video! I have used 5% minoxidil for over 10 years, when I started experiencing some hair loss. After getting a diagnosis from my derm (it's genetic "pattern balding"), he started me on the 5% FOAM. I am not sure if you tried this, but the foam is a million times easier on the scalp and hair than the liquid. You put it on while hair is WET. Just a couple little blobs down the part line, then I actually turn my head upside down before it "melts" into the scalp and use my fingers to massage it in. That way all my hair is hanging so it's easier to get my fingertips in there to massage it in. I use it once every other day, which is when I wash my hair. Sometimes I use the 5% liquid in between, but I've been using it for so long now that I don't need it every day. I would recommend using it every single day for about the first year, then you can go to every-other or even less. So if you don't wash your hair every day, you would need to use a few drops of the liquid on non-wash days. I have very curly dry hair, and I use a TON of products, but I've never experienced any oiliness or goopiness with this routine. I firmly believe minoxidil has saved my hair. Best of luck, thanks for all of your excellent content, and lots of love! 💜
I take a minoxidil pill every night before bed. I love that I don’t have to put anything on my hair that would mess up my styling. Works really good!
Oral FTW!!!
I am going to be 52 this year. I wish that instead of going to university and getting a degree in 5 languages + economics (super important in the EU to have under your belt), I went to trade school instead, to learn to do hair. Or at least I wish that I had added it on to my degree after uni. Davines BTW is a very good brand! Especially if you have fine hair.
Hi Penny. I use minoxidil only on the temples the night before I wash my hair. I do wash my hair every other morning. I dermarol that area and then apply the minoxidil. I also bought a great heated hair cap. I saw the recommended cap on Tammy's ageless beauty. It comes with a heated cord. Absolutely love it! 21.00 on Amazon. My hair was silky soft! Just thought I would add that if anyone is interested in that one instead of using a blow dryer. She has it posted in her past 2 videos. I like it so well I bought my daughter one as she has bleached hair. Have a great day!
Hi can you give me the name of that heated cap on amazon
I’d love to know the name too! ☺️
That sounds great. Could you please send me that info as well. Thanks
Love your recommendations! I’ve loved every one that I purchased! I have and love that Kerastase oil! Do you have shampoo recommendations?
I couldn't stand Minoxidil, either! Glued my hair down, made me look like I hadn't washed my hair in a month, itched and sometimes burned. Not for me! So, my dermatologist suggested low dose oral minoxidil. I take 1.25 gm per day and it works great! It is a low dose (typically, half the dose they give men) and my hair is back. I have had zero side effects from it and it is an inexpensive medicine, if your insurance doesn't cover it. Maybe you should consider oral Minoxidil.
Coco & Eve is new on my radar. Have you tried their new Retinol shampoo & conditioner? I can’t find much research on retinol for hair. Have you? Just got the Epres. Looking forward to trying. I’ve been pre-treating with OGX Miracle oil. Interested to see how they compare. If you lovelies are wanting to try Minoxidil I’ve had amazing success with men’s unscented foam x10 years. I have androgenetic alopecia. I up-end the nozzle and use gentle pressure along all my part lines. It actually gives a bit of a boost to my roots. The key is gentle pressure 😊
Such great tips!
I’ve tried the OGX oil and I cannot seem to get it OUT of my hair after. I mean eventually I do lol but it’s hard for me.
Any tips for me there? 😍
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I think it depends on the texture of one’s hair. My hair is super dry & I live in an arid climate. I was worried it would weigh my hair down. It’s very fine. OXG actually does the opposite 🤷🏼♀️…gives my hair flexibility to hold a wave. I’ve also found that it works much better if I sleep in it overnight versus just putting it on a half an hour before I wash.
Hair texture, loss, density, growth is so unique to each of us. Actually more complex than skin in my opinion. It honestly takes each of us trying a combination of products to find what works depending on climate, stage of life, if we’re coloring etc. Definitely not a one routine fits all but so fun to learn from each other😊💕
I really cannot fathom how these pre-shampoo bonding treatments penetrate the hair, when it is full with dry shampoo, leave in cond., heat protectant and oil for ends + 3 or 4 days natural oil build up? Wont it be better to prewash the hair and then use the Epres, Olaplex #3?
Wash first and then use on damp hair.
Check out @abbeyyung
Microneedling my scalp has made a hugee difference for years now..
Penn have you tried the liquid minoxidil? SO much better than the mousse. I can use it daily and it actually helps extend the life if my washes... I suspect due to the alcohol content it keeps the grease at bay. I can use it daily and still only wash one a week. It literally leaves NO RESIDUE!! I have been on a hair journey myself due to my mom being sick and perimenopause I was losing so much hair. One thing I found with the pre-ban treatments is they actually work better if I use them after I've done a clarifying shampoo on my hair, I feel like they penetrate better on clean hair. So I personally use them after washing and before my mask or conditioning step. I will add the conditioner over it after it's sat for a bit. It's definitely more time consuming on the back end but I feel like it makes more sense to use it in clean hair. I love the Coco & Eve one too ❤
Have you tried Oribe Super shine moisturizing cream? Best hair product of all time. I have very dry hair and I put this in after washing. Then put the sway brand ( heatless curls robe belt type method ) and go in the sun to dry. Curls last all week long. Hair is shinny bouncy!
Going to try it! Thank you!!
Thank you again Penny! Would you please let us know your thoughts about Olaplex products effectiveness?
Very interesting products. I’ve always had the thickest hair- always had to have it thinned every cut. During Covid I grew it out long and gray. Made for some big hair then u got an autoimmune disease and it started thinning and breaking. Question is some of these treatments can put a yellow cast on gray hair-any of these do that?
WhatEVER you do please don’t use finasteride !! I had HORRENDOUS SIDE EFFECTS. I would not recommend for male or FEMALE!! It has been almost 2 years and my body still hasn’t completely recovered.
Thank you. Good to know! 😢
I forgot to mention, I have heard good reviews on the Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo for hair growth. Could you review this?
Thank you for updating on calecim! I’ve been waiting for this since your last video on it. I still never used it because I’ve been scared 😫 I started using a topical melatonin at nights called NutraM. Once I see it don’t see results from it I’ll add in the calecim.
Thanks a bunch! I wish we could see before and after pictures to gauge it, but this is so helpful! Thanks again 🙏🏻
Oral minoxidil prescribed by my dermatologist has given me great results. Been on it for about a year. I couldnt commit to the topical minoxidil and have tried just about everything else. I'm truly amazed this is working.
That’s great! I’m so happy for you!
TRY it with Fineseride
I’ve just been prescribed a combination of minoxidil/finasteride/spirilacton topical. Praying it helps. I experienced horrible hair fall and thinning 5 years ago and suddenly it’s back. All blood work is fine best I know. I’m not sure which is worse the miniaturization of the shaft or the overall hair thinning. I will be giving topical a go but may switch to oral, just cautious of potential side effects.
Penn your videos are such a pleasure because of your genuineness. Thank you!
Also, love your frames!!! Where are they from?
@alliebahbah7139 I never heard of spirilactin. What is it?
@alliebahbah7139 Seems like it thins first. Give it time. Takes many many months
I love your videos, but PLEASE look into Dimethicone and dry hair, as a stylist I have seen over the years how any product with this ingredient was drying and ,y clients hair, I now only recommend Living Proof to my clients.
Monat products work and no goop. I have been using for 7-8 yrs. I'm going to be 60 this year and no thinning in the normal places that women thin. It grew back when I began using it and I just maintain it now. I do not sell it.
For me monoxidial has been a game.changer. And I don't see myself stopping. I use the Costco branch foam and work it in as I part down to my roots. I don't brush through intentionally meaning I brush my hair in the morning after applying at night but I don't brush right after applying before bed. Yes it's a little sticky at the roots on wash day but honestly it has worked like dry shampoo for me. I am about a year into growing how my hair which has a lot of grey in it so it's probably dryer. Do I prefer my hair feeling on wash day before I have applied the monoxidial yes but the results I've gotten on my very fine thin and thinning hair is too good not to use. I also make sure I don't over apply. But I can see why people don't want to use it. I think even a few years ago I wouldn't have but since turning 50 it's working for me.
Rosemary oil works as well for minoxidil for increase in hair count :

Very thank you penny ,the epres not found in amazon there is silimiar .
Secondely , you dont mention any serum for hair and do you microneedling the scalp
What about the monixdial mouss instead of liquid one ,they said its less greasy ,what do you think ?
You r one of the very trust to buy things .thanks again
Penny, I have grown out my grey and it is a beautiful color. What Mask would you recommend for us mature women who have gone grey? Blessings to you from Texas.
Have you ever done a video on hair supplements? If so, can you please provide the link? If not, are there any that you can recommend? Thank you in advance! New subscriber😊❤
Off topic but . . . are you still loving Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel Wash the way you did awhile ago? I bought it and forgot about it until my last shampoo and liked it a lot. Do you sill recommend it as the best for blonde hair or do you have another favorite? Also, if the shampoo is still your favorite do you use the conditioner? I love the way your hair always looks!
Love you hair tips. Would putting on a hair mask, cap and going into the sauna for 30 minutes do the same as the hairdryer cap suggestion? Or does the hairdryer work better?
Yes that would be great!
WOW such great advise & I’m happy with the results of the products & treatments you are doing, I think your hair looks beautiful.
Did you day you use a Mask as a Conditioner & not a traditional hair conditioner?
Loved this video🤗💜
Awesome video. After watching Lisa Eldridge give a recommendation for a heated cap, I was going to search YOUR recommendation. Of course I got distracted with some of your other fantastic videos… yet here we are and you’ve delivered as always. I just have to hear the final word from you (as lovely as Lisa E is).
Thank you
Thank you so very much for the hair video and the updates!!! I always say this... but it's SO true... I adore you and so love and appreciate your videos...
I have been using Epres for about 6 months and have been loving it!! I also use a couple of the La'dor products and love them as well.
I have been following extra close to your advice, products and your updates around hair health and reversing hair loss. It is so wild that you are struggling with hair health... because just looking at you, your hair is long, thick and all around gorgeous... I would never ever guess! Without having some very specific, obvious cause... I believe that high stress and hormones have caused my thinning. I have had some good signs / some good luck with doing ALL of the things... but surely do not have my thick, all grown out head of hair.... the only "drug" I have been using is the revitalash hair foam... which I use about 5x / week. I do not use on day 1 or 2 of freshly washed hair.... for the same reason you were mentioning about minoxidil.
Are you planning to continue to use calecim? From what I read, one needs to continue calecim in a maintenance phase. Are you going to be continuing with a maintenance program? It is very expensive... but I am willing to pay for it if it will work. Without guarantees, would you recommend? Does one need to commit to use this forever?
Also, what are your general shampoo/ conditioner recommendations, aside from the specialty products/ treatments?
Thank you so much ; ))
Hi Penny! Thanks for the tips. Is the Epres is better than a standalone Olaplex treatment? Also is every product that you recommended all right for fine hair?
I tried the minoxidil foam 5% and after a couple months stopped due to hair growth on face (which is a possible side effect). I've just decided to be more gentle with my hair, lol.
Always here for hair advice from you ❤
Love you lady!!
what is a good permanent hair color that can be used with a 10 vol activator? 20 vol. is frying my hair and I want a healthy hair color to use with 10 vol.
Which brand of hair extensions do you use? Could you do a video on this please.
Use to love Davine’s I used all of their line but did not see those results with the Love line.
Thank you for more hair content! Your minoxidil + microneedling info was invaluable for me after I experienced hair loss from anemia. With consistency, I’m seeing regrowth! Your hair is looking great, can’t wait to check out these products!
I am so glad it is helping you!
Thank you for all the information, Penn!! I can't use minoxidil for the very same reason. Wish I could! Have a beautiful week! Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
Love love the Davines, just started it all about 6 weeks ago and it’s been amazing. The milk spray leave in conditioner is lightweight smoothing and just all-around great.
You should really try Calecim's hair stem cell serum. It's worked wonders for me.
Are these products sulfate and silicon free!🙏
Particularly the instant masque?
Hi Penn - are you still derma stamping your scalp?
Do you need to have a dermatologist decide if you need monoxidial? Read somewhere as soon as you start shedding you should use it??
Thanks Penn! I use the Coco and Eve brand pre cleanse but I use it on wet hair after washing. Curious of your thoughts about Zuvi -hair dryer using red light instead of hot air
6:51 Davines is not a brand i see a lot of places but i love the curl serum and it smells so good! I have coarse thick hair and it really helps with the curls.
I've been using the deep heat conditioning but didn't know I should let my hair cool before rinsing out. Thanks, Penny!
I don't like using dimethicone or any cone, really. My hair hates protein. I have fine hair, always have. Still some damage from using cheap color from drugstore. Not a fan of alcohol denat, don't understand why it's in product to help damaged hair. My fav leave-in is Blueberry Bliss. From Walmart 😅 I bought a countertop dryer, was less than $50. Davines shampoo, I like, salon swears their products don't use silicones. They do. I completely stopped blow-drying or using curling or flat irons. My hair goes flat easy with so many conditioners. I have to switch shampoo & cond often.
The struggle is real. 💜
I’m honestly not sure on the denatured alcohol either. But I can say it doesn’t dry my hair in the slightest. But I agree, I gave that one the side eye too!
@PENNSMITHSKINCARE well, that's good it doesn't harm your hair. For me, it seems to, so I stay away from anything that has it. I've always been a fan of Olapex No 3, but now there's a lawsuit, so I dunno if I should continue to use it. 💜
Hi! Is the Blueberry Bliss leave-in conditioner a Walmart brand too? Thanks! 😊
My gynecologist prescribes minoxidil tablets for me. They seem to be working. Perhaps you should try the tablets.
I’m looking in to it now, so many of you are recommending. Thank you!!
Hi Penny! What do you think about microneedling combined with minoxidil? it's safe? Could you update us on your microneedling treatments? do you still make them? thank you ❤️
What do you think is the best hair dye?
I don’t understand putting something on your hair and then wash it out. How does that work?
Water causes hair to swell, lifting the cuticle and damaging it. The more often hair is wet, the more damage, Putting certain oils or conditioner on the hair lengths before shampooing can prevent most of the water penetration into the hair shaft that causes the swelling. Applying pre-shampoo treatment AFTER shampooing, as some commenters here report, is missing all their benefits.
Thank you SOOOO much for this!!! I just posted I'm the FB group about my hair journey with my red light helmet and this is now what I need since my hair finally growing. Thank you thank you!!!❤
You are so welcome! 🥰
Penn, What is your rec for a good Shampoo & Conditioner?
I want to try the Epres . I have super fine thin hair. So just about everything can weigh it down. I think your hair looks beautiful Penn. Your videos are so helpful. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy them. I’m 61 and happy to be 61 but I also want to look my best. Be my best at any age. So thank you for all your research and helping so many women to look and feel their best ❤
I have fine, thin hair that is brittle from iron deficiency and recently tired Epres. It has made an ENORMOUS difference in my hair, I also started using the Oribe Alchemy line and these two things have transformed by hair. I have tried everything over the last 15 years and nothing made more than a tiny difference, even olaplex and k18. But the Epres and Oribe have made my hair actually look and act like hair again rather than 10 year old straw that has been sitting in the desert 😂.
@@crunchchrissy Good to know! Thank you 😊 I have been using K18 now and olaplex in the past. Almost finished the K18. It’s helped my hair. but not what I was imagining. I will not lose hope of having hair like I did when I was in my 30’s or even half. 🤷♀️
Thank you Chrissy!! That’s wonderful feedback!
I am going check out the Oribe line….its in the yellow? I think I tried the shampoo once. I’ll look at the conditioners etc
I love the scents of Oribe products- so good 🩷
Shelly, thank you so much for your kindness! If you try the Epres please report back! 🩷🩷
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE yes, the yellow line. I tried the gold lust line and it was great compared to everything I’d ever tried before, but the alchemy line is much better for my hair. I think the gold lust was too heavy for my hair and somehow left it feeling less moisturized and soft in comparison to the alchemy, i use the alchemy serum with it too.
Hi
Did you lose a lot of hair after stopping MINOXIDIL?
I didn’t notice any extra shedding ❤️
Not an instant mask, but I’ve used it as one. The Redken acidic bonding conditioner in a spray. I’m trying to use only the leave in the same series now (which is also great!) but I think about that spray every day 😂 Will repurchase. 😊
Oh that’s a great recommendation!! Thank you 😍
I’ve using the pre-shampoo treatment. If you haven’t tried it, I recommend . I’ve used many such as Olaplex & K18 which didn’t really do much for my fine, dry, frizzy type hair. I see a difference with this one . Haven’t tried the rest of the line as yet.
Thanks for sharing these new favs. I trust you completely so I'm sure that they're fantastic. I'm still loving the jamaican black castor oil & to hair serum. I recently started putting a vO5 product that's super thick only on my ends & it's helped tremendously.
I'm so very grateful for you !
How do you apply the black Jamaican castor oil?
@@mirandagwyn3315 Thank you. I mix abt 2 finger lengths of the castor oil & ordinary's hair serum & massage into scalp & on skin close to the hairline on the nights before I wash.
I adore your hair care recommendations! I fell in love with the Raincry mask thanks to you, BUT it appears they’ve quit making it💔. Thanks for all you do for us!
I know!! I went to buy it and it’s gone 😞😞😞😞
think it's interesting that you haven't mentioned Olaplex with all the hype over bonding and conditioning
I have mentioned it many times over the years- I used it in salon for a decade. I just don’t love it as much as a stand alone product. When I used it (I think they’ve updated directions since then) we had to adjust our developer and timing to get the right lift etc
It just has its limitations. I think Epres is next gen olaplex (personal opinion). 😊
Thanks for your videos:) Do you feel you have to keep using the Calecim hair system to keep your results?
No, I think I’ll probably use it once a year as a treatment- I don’t feel like since I stopped that I’ve gone backward or anything (I hope that makes sense) 🩷
Thank *you* for being here 😊
Between the ages of 15 and about 22, I did absolutely *anything and everything* to my hair. You're only young once, right? 😇 Dyed it all sorts of colors (I am an ash tone) except for unnatural ones, because kids used to say I had the color of "cigarette ash". I hated my color for years. Also straightened and crimped it for years (age 15 to 17) and then permed it because I couldn't deal with it. I had very sleek and smooth straight hair up until puberty hit when it went "wirey" and fluffy and wavy/curly. Today, thanks to the internet, I have learned to deal with it. Profile is day 3, "saggy" hair. LOL
Thank you Penny! I love the Calecim also and the Davines. I’ll be trying the kerastase stuff for sure! Thanks for all of today’s tips and as always, thank you for your extraordinarily good content. I appreciate you so much 💕
Thank you so much for being here! I appreciate you! 🥰
I use the Kirkland Minoxidil 5% solution, it’s labeled as a hair growth treatment for men, but I have no problems using it. It’s watery & comes with a dropper. After a hair wash I distribute it all over my scalp & then stimulate my scalp with a nubby hair massager- not sure the exact name of that little device. Anyway I think it works & has helped my hair thicken up, which is the result I was looking for. It’s not sticky at all.
Additionally, for those of us who have lost volume (thanks, menopause!!), a volumizing or texturizing product for styling?
i've been natural black to blonde for almost 15 years and epres is truly special! But to saturate my hair it takes like half a bottle so it gets SO expensive 😭
I agree! That’s definitely a downside 😝
Love all your suggestions, and your knowledge! But I have to mention, you look absolutely stunning as a brunette, lol🥰🥰🥰
Penn or anyone - I’m looking for a good colorist in the Portland metro area if anyone knows anyone! Beaverton fine too! Thanks 😊
I must be lucky! I don't have an issue with minoxidil making me greasy. I use it twice a day. At night I use it with the Ordinary Multi Peptide Hair Density Serum and because I have short and wavy/curly hair I put in Majetic Pure Avacado Mask with Biotin as a leave in for the night. I rinse it in the morning and use minoxidil with Spectral.DNC-N Hair Thickening and Strengthening Serum. Then my usual styiling products. I have had good luck with my female pattern hair loss with this routine.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! When using a pre shampoo treatment, is it ok to use a clarifying shampoo afterwards or should just a regular shampoo be used? Also will the cap ruin or burnout your blow dryer?
My minoxidil experience made my hair fall out for 4 months straight. I had to cut 12-14 inches off of my hair because of it. I have since taken collagen routinely and apply rosemary oil and deep hair masques twice a week. I have not put any bleach products in my hair in over a year. Finally my hair has thickened back up and is healthy and finally below my shoulders again. I will never use minoxidil topical treatment again. I know people have had success with the pill form. I do love Redkens leave in treatment. I only wash my hair twice a week. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I have used 5% minoxidil (foam) for about 15 years. I have very thin hair so a little goes a long way. I squirt a little in my trouble areas then let the heat from my scalp and fingers break down the foam and then massage those areas. It is gunky if you use so much that it gets too far down your hair strands. I am diligent to apply small amounts so that the foam melts onto my scalp. I only use once per day after washing my hair, which is about every third or fourth day, now that I’m retired. I feel like my hair would be much thinner now at 64 if I hadn’t been using it, but honestly I’m too afraid to find out at this point. 😂
Love your videos but boy you were not kidding about the price. This routine is over 150 dollars. I am glad that you and some of your viewers can afford this. Can you do a more affordable one?
Absolutely!
I will work on an affordable routine. I do have a budget skincare routine video coming as well this next week
I really do believe that we can have great hair and skin at a reasonable price….these just happened to be my favorites and they happened to be expensive. I appreciate your perspective completely!!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you so much. I understand that these are your favorites so it just makes me wonder how great are the budget ones if they are not your favorites?
Put kerastase in wet or dry hair?
Hi Penny, did you have a post minoxidil shed? I took oral minoxidil for 3 months and have experienced shedding for the past 7-8 months.
I’ve used Epres and it’s good. Currently I’ve been using the Redken Acidic Bonding concentrate treatment. Have to say it really helped my dry, unmanagable hair. I’ve used many products (spent a ton of $$) & most don’t do much. That includes K18 & Olaplex to name a few. Trust me on this 😊
I agree, I’ve tried a TON as well (especially when I worked as a stylist behind the chair…..tried everything)
Most things are just ok. And just like skincare everyone is different so what you or I might love others may not.
I’m going to revisit the Redken!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE yes, I agree, everyone’s different. I’m just thrilled when something actually works!
I love this one from Redkin as well! 😃
I stopped using bond treatments and only use them a few weeks after a bleach .. it ends up damaging my hair and making it heavy. Pureology has a leave in conditioner that's great. I've tried it all and find i need light oils to style. A leave in conditioner and switch my shampoos to deal with how my scalp is feeling. Microneedling my scalp weekly has been the savior.
Thanks Penny. By the way, my dermatologist wrote a prescription for me to get a comb to use with the minoxidil. I haven’t had prescribed yet, but I’m hoping it will work in the aspect of not making my hair feel greasy or oily ( it’s suppose to help that).
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Could you please comment on the blow dryer settings that you use for the hair treatment with the Bonnet? I have thin and fine hair🙏❤️
LOVE THIS ADVICE! When one deals with bad water it so hard on the hair! I've got some shopping to do!😂😂❤
I’m so glad to see this video! I’ve been asking for a minoxidil update (sorry!) and really appreciate your honesty here! If it weren’t for the gumminess/gross feeling would you have continued? Did you have any averse side effects in the time you were using? I’m going to start and I wash my hair frequently so I’m hoping that helps deal with the general gross feeling.
It’s so funny you mention the Kerestase leave in because I have it in my cart right now and same thing…don’t know why I haven’t bought it but thought I’d give it a try! Now for sure I will along with the Davines
The entire davines oi line is literally my go to... nothing beats the oi butter
Davines is just an amazing brand! 😍
I love the oil on my ends. The rest of the oi line is too much for my fine hair 😊
I don’t see any gray in your roots….❤….but that is why they make colored hair powder!
Hi Penny! Thanks so much for this helpful video 🤗
I was wondering if you have a favorite kind of hair extension for fine and thinning hair?
Penn I love epres but it does build up in my hair. Let me know if you find this? Ty for sharing. Love you ❤
Only reason I’m still using my minoxidil foam is that it’s once a day and I do it right before bed and I wash my hair almost daily.
The sound is only on the left for me. Is it just me? :(
It’s not just you- I had a couple videos like that 😔
I figured it out though so it shouldn’t happen again!
So sorry!
Love your videos and have tried and use more products that you have reviewed than any other! I was wondering what, or if you've tried, any LLT hair helmets and like best or if you feel there really isn't any benefit from any of them? Also, if you've researched the Irestore systems, do you think their Professional helmet with an irradiance of over 800mW/cm2 is too high and might actual cause damage to the hair follicle or scalp?
First off, thank you 😌
Yes, I’ve tested (extensively) a LLLT helmet. I actually tested myself, had one of my Facebook moderators (a woman) test one (for a year) and another person’s husband test for that same year. No one saw any change 😬
It wasn’t Irestore, so I can’t speak specifically to that brand but it was a direct competitor.
I have the hairmax headband and I feel like it has helped slow the shedding for me personally but the helmet did nothing 😑
💜
You recommend the revive serum. How does it compare to Drmtology serum?
What are your thoughts about hair oiling mask overnight for growth, healing?
Promo*SM 🤗
:)
I think you’re the only person I’ve watched that has said my hair is growing out and has roots. Its BEAUTIFUL!! I love it it’s really pretty
Thank you so much 🥰
Hi there. Do u think k18 conditioner is effective and worth cost?
Where did you get your glasses from? They look Fab on you! So pretty
I just bought Love mask…will let you know how itbworks
Weird I have really broken sound with your video today!
Hi do you have any suggestions to how to remove warts on the face.
Hi Penny ❤ love your content!!
Any info on at home chemical peel? I'd like to get rid of dark spots, age spots and sunspots on my face. Help please ❤ TY
I’m actually going to do a red carpet peel from Dermalure soon- I’ll let you know how it goes! It looks like a really great peel that mimics a VI peel 😍
Fyi the sound is fine on the phone but I watch your vids normally on my tv and that’s when it sounds like 💩 I watch a lot of UA-cam vids and they are all fine until I get to yours. Commercials also sound fine on your vids.something tells me it’s a stereo setting issue but I’m definitely no expert at settings. This vid is a bit better than the last few.
Thank you, I’m definitely going to figure it out. 🩷
Your own color is beautiful on YOU.

Hi Penny, I love all of your videos, very informative. I love your glasses, can you share the brand. Thank you.
The brand is SEE Eyewear. They have an online store and stand alone stores including the one we go to on NW 23rd in Portland.
