I used to have waist length, thick, brunette hair.  When I hit peri-menopause, my hair texture and thickness started changing.  When menopause happened… my hair started falling out.  It’s now terribly thin and wiry.  I’m also going grey.  My hair used to be my crowning glory and now I’m so embarrassed of my hair and feel like there’s nothing I can do about it.  Hormones play a LOT bigger role in women’s hair than people think.

Cancer itself rarely causes your hair to fall out, it’s the reaction to the chemotherapy and other treatments that causes hair loss.

Hairdresser for over 46 yrs. I agree 100% with you. Things have changed. It’s almost like the BILLIONAIRES own a HUGE WAREHOUSE of FOOD, HAIR PRODUCTS, MEDICATION, etc. And they’re all killing us slowly or at the very least keeping us sick enough that we NEED more from them

You look like a decade younger with the more natural hair color. Crazy.

Eat flaxseed every day. It really helps. I am 62, and I took flaxseed more for my menopause issues, but then I realised that my hair was thicker. Yes, it's really Crazy.

I'm a DUDE. I give zero care about hair. I've been watching your content for years. From Facebook clips to YT. But woah. The way you talk about your hair situation feels like these true crimes you talk about. I'm so invested in your hair. ❤🌻🧸

Such a helpless feeling 😔 Not to mention the anxiety that comes along with it too💔😔

I've previously lost 70% of my hair when I was 20 years old. I went to every dermatologist that specialized in hair loss. I was told to start Rogaine and to accept my new hair volume. Finally found the right dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic. I brought all my old labwork with me and he found the issue right away. My iron hemoglobin was normal, but my stored iron (ferritin) was very low. In my labwork it was between 8-22. To grow hair you need a level of 80. He told me 77% of women in a recent study he completed that were suffering with hair loss had very low ferritin levels. I do not store iron well and need infusions. I'm currently at 98 and my hair is finally coming back strong.

As a licensed cosmetologist of 22 yrs... I can tell you with 100% certainty that it was absolutely those extensions. It's called 'traction Alopecia', (fancy word for baldness/extreme hair loss) and it's from too much weight pulling on too little hair.

Girl, it’s not a conspiracy. It’s a fact. The products they be pushing on us are literally toxic. Don’t even get me started on our food and “medicine” 🙄 ILY ❤ THANKS FOR SHARING ❤

Girl thats me every time I wash!! And you are 100% right on the fact that all these companies are just out to make money! Nothing is built to last or made to cure or fix anything, its all about how to keep us spending our money!!!!

I'm a retired stylist.  What you had was hydrolyzed hair.  Putting that dye on your hair over and over all over your head eventually leads to this!  Usually the hair that doesn't break or fall out stretches like a rubber band and feels gummy. When. Coloring your hair ladies, you only color the new growth at the roots!  The rest of your hair is already colored.  If your color has faded you add equal parts shampoo to the left over color and then lather up the rest of you hair and leave it on for ten minutes and then shampoo all color off your hair.
  You did the right thing by growing it out and cutting.  Hydrolyzed hair can not be conditioned back--it has to be cut.
  Also conditioning too much can be just as drying as not using any at all.  Condition with moisturizing conditioner after every shampoo ( the leave on 3 min type) and a deep conditioner with protein in it ( reconstructor) once a month- usually left on 20 min.( Never sleep in this conditioner, the protein on😊 that long will make your hair dry and brittle.)
 If you were getting your hair deep conditioned and deep conditioner at home and using leave in conditioner and conditioning styling products--- no wonder your hair wasn't getting better!  Sometimes cutting your hair short and getting rid of the problem is easier than to try to keep fixing the unfixable!
  Good for you to let your hair keep growing out and cutting off the damage at the bottom.

When I stopped covering my grey and going to the salon, my hair is the healthiest its been in decades. I've embraced my crone era! 😄

The Meille Shampoo and Conditioner is the Best to grow your hair back thick and longer. Im a hairstylist of 35yrs and I have done it all to my hair😂! And I promise you that you adding extensions, bleaching, color,is what broke your hair off! Believe me as a hairstylist for yrs I know. I have used thousands of products in my yrs of doing hair and I ca b honestly say that Meille Shampoo and Conditioner is the Best products in have ever used. I also started these hair vitamins and they are called  PRIMAL HARVEST HAIR GROWTH , these 3 products combined together will give you the best results within 2 months. I have to do my roots every 2wks because of how fast it is growing and you will see the thickness in your hair also❤

Covid made me lose 70% of my hair, but i think in your case what helped a lot is you stopping bleach that's what made the difference.

17:42  A GREAT rule to live by for everyything in general.. "LESS IS MORE".
I wish more people could see that.❤

As a hairstylist and cosmetology teacher for 20 years, I tell my clients that hair health starts with the scalp. The inside. And I never sell products to them. I tell them they have to look for certain things for their type of hair and it is a try and see process. Less washing, less products. The scalp needs to breathe too. It is insane the amount of crap these girls are putting on their hair and scalp and it does nothing but cause more issues.  I wash my curly hair once a week. My daughter has straight hair and it is mostly twice a week.  You hit the nail on the head with less is more and every thing else ❤

Hairdresser for 32yrs. Bleaching your hair is #1 everything else plays a factor heat,washing everyday,putting tension on the hair  clogging your pours with too much product.
I'm with you Christina less is best.
Menopause definitely plays a part. Hormones 😤
I've heard a lot of clients talking about hair loss from Covid too.
The hair looks beautiful today😘

Stress, sickness, trauma all can make our hair drop excessively

Peri menopause it’s like a life-changing moment. Everything goes hair, skin mood, intimacy, and a sad thing not too many people teach how to handle it. I really hope my beautiful wavy hair will grow back.😢
