- Hello.
I'm Millie.
Hi, how's it going?
Welcome back.
Today we're gonna be having a little bit of a chat
about the best products for hair loss.
So get comfy, get some snacks, let's dive into it.
All righty, now I know that y'all
have been knocking down our comments being like,
what about best products for hair loss?
How can I get this hair loss sorted?
What's going on?
We hear you and we see you.
Now, it has taken us a little bit to dive into this,
the reason for that being is that hair loss
is actually technically a medical condition.
So what we would always absolutely suggest
first and foremost is always consult with your GP.
Make sure there's nothing going on
because you just wanna make sure that everything's okay
before you dive in and spend the dollars
on some topical treatments.
So with all of that in mind,
let's dive into the different kinds of hair loss.
Technically speaking,
there are so many different kinds and so many different ways
that you can experience hair loss.
Some people do experience hair loss with pregnancy,
with different hormone changes,
stressful situations, medical procedures,
even just medical reasons, it can be medications.
It can even be as simple as seasonal changes.
So many, so many, so many things can cause hair loss,
so it is hard to nail down the exact trigger,
which is what you kind of need to nail down
so that you can then figure out
what you can use to treat it.
I do know that one of our incredible coworkers, Karin,
did a video about her stress and her hair loss.
If you'd like to check that out
and kind of follow her journey, you can see that just here,
but otherwise let's dive into some products.
Products can only help to a certain extent, right?
Honestly, I've gone through hair loss myself,
and it really, like, it kind of takes
a knock to your self-esteem,
and it can be a little bit disheartening to try a product
and it doesn't work for you.
If you're going to try topical treatments,
you need to keep an open mind
in that some products won't work the best for you,
but there is another product that may help you
with a different hair concern.
Let's dive into some products.
I am gonna start with our more heavier duty kind of ones.
You know, if you're in a really tough spot,
these are the products that I would use
and that I would recommend,
mainly because they're dermatologically tested,
so it means that you've got that full range
of scalp professionals behind the actual formulation
and behind the product.
So they're the Kerastase Bain Prevention.
That's the shampoo, and then the treatment.
There's actually a six week programme that goes with it.
So the prevention Cures, which they are Aminexil.
I'll get Maddie to pop them right here.
They're are tiny little cure,
and what you do is you put your little witch's hat on it.
You're gonna section your hair with it,
and you're gonna take it from front to back
and then from ear to ear, and you're gonna take it
and do a little star as well across here.
Give yourself a really, really, really good head massage.
And you're gonna repeat this daily for six weeks.
Now, with those as as well
they are a little bit more expensive.
I'm pretty sure they're two--
- [Maddie] 232.
- 232.
But it is an investment,
and with something like hair loss, you do want to invest,
Say if you want to use a cure,
you want to use a scalp treatment,
you've got finer hair like myself
or even if say your hair fall
is only really around the front of your hair,
and you just want something to help it kind of boost
and to to help it feel thicker,
that's where the Densifique Cures are gonna come in.
These ones are more in terms for anyone
wanting thicker hair or denser hair.
You do have to use them for three months,
so one box is one month.
So again, it is a little bit of an investment,
but you do want to use it three months on
and then you do three months off.
If you prefer, say, like a shampoo or conditioner
and a scalp treatment,
there are some really, really great options.
I really love L'Oreal's Serioxyl.
These have been around for yonks,
and they are clarifying and densifying shampoo.
And then it is the thickening
and detangling conditioner.
These ones are only about $35,
so if you're looking for something
where you're like, you know what?
I just want to stick to a shampoo and conditioner
and a scalp treatment, L'Oreal have got your back,
and they're not gonna wear your hair down, either.
My only concern would be if you've got thinning hair,
maybe it's a bit thick or maybe it's a little bit frizzy
or anything like that,
I would say to maybe team it with a conditioner
that is a little bit heavier, like in hydration,
or that kind of matches your secondary hair concern.
Now, they do have two scalp, and one is a scalp treatment
and one is for your lengths and ends.
It's the stemoxydine five percent and resveratrol,
which I can never say.
It's like a little dropper.
Now, you are going to use this onto your scalp,
and I would kind of suggest to do it in the evening,
just as I find in the morning,
it can give you a little bit more of a wet look,
which not ideal.
You're gonna give yourself a really nice head massage,
and you're gonna do this every day for about three months.
Again, it's a commitment.
This one is great for density.
So when we talk density, we talk about how the hair looks.
We talk about, is the hair nice and full?
So you'll start to see a little bit more body in the roots.
You'll start to see those little hairs come through,
those little baby hairs.
This one is the Serioxyl, so it's the intra-cylane.
This one is to get thicker hair.
So you could do one or two pumps.
I would start with one or two
if you've got finer kind of hair,
but this one does make it feel
like you've had Botox in the hair, so.
- [Maddie] Wild.
- Wild, right?
An option for hair supplements would be the Apotecari ones.
So there is Mane Event,
which is mainly to help grow the hair
and to start to see a little bit of length
and support new growth,
and then the Crowning Glory,
which are all about scalp health and to just keep your scalp
in the best condition it can be so that your hair can grow.
I did go through a little bit of hair loss.
I did consult with my GP.
They said that it was appropriate
that I can take a supplement,
so I have used a hair supplement in the past.
I find that teaming up a really good hair routine
and hair product routine with a supplement does help,
but again, it's based on individuals.
It's just about finding out on whether or not
it's appropriate for yourself.
That's it for more like the heavier
kind of hair loss topics,
but let's talk about hair fall,
which is another really important kind of category
under that hair loss umbrella.
So if you said to me,
"I can only grow my hair to my chin length,
"I can't get it past it,
"I can't get it past this certain point.
I don't know why," that to me goes, oh, okay.
There's a little bit of hair fall issue there.
Kerastase released a new range.
It's called the Genesis range.
It's super cute.
It smells phenomenal.
It's got a shampoo, a conditioner.
There is a scalp treatment and a leave-in Thermique.
This, for my finer haired blonde friends,
she is phenomenal.
They do have Anti-Chute.
I can never say it, hold on.
So it's anti hair-fall fortifying treatment ampoules.
They are the Anti-Chutes, all these little ones.
So again, you would use
that little hot cross bun sectioning.
You're gonna make sure you're applying the product
direct to your scalp, because if it's applied to the hair,
it's not doing its job.
You're gonna use one of these once daily for six weeks.
What you're gonna find is that your hair from the scalp
is gonna grow healthier,
it's gonna grow stronger and you should hopefully
see less breakage and less hair fall.
Maddie, behind the camera,
my little bestie uses this one
and she really likes it, as well, so.
- [Maddie] I do.
- So if you do prefer a more topical treatment,
so say your shampoo, conditioner, and a leave-in spray,
you can also use the Aveda Invati range.
I'll pop it here.
I have the spray for thinning hair here.
I really like this one.
It does help to give your roots that little bit of a boost.
And they also are a really great cruelty-free,
really kind of clean brand.
There is of course a difference between thinning hair
versus hair that's lacking a bit of volume
or hair that's breaking.
If you are falling into that category of thinning hair,
you want to look for products with stemoxydine in it,
you want to look for ones that might have resveratrol.
These two ingredients are really great to help.
If you're more into volume,
you're gonna wanna look for something
a little bit more lightweight,
maybe something with a bit more body,
something that's gonna help give that hair
a bit of oomph and a bit of a bit of grit.
But if you're kind of falling into that,
okay, well, like my scalp needs something for hair loss
or it needs something for volume,
but my ends are a bit more damaged
or my ends need to be colour treated, you can mix and match.
You can grab a little bit of this
and grab a little bit of that.
Say you don't fall into any of these categories.
Say that you're experiencing some hair loss,
but it's more due to your hair health.
So say that you've gone to get a colour,
maybe your hair didn't react so well,
maybe your hair's kind of breaking off,
that's where I would look for something
like how to help save your hair,
like how to like prevent damage.
So you're gonna be looking at strength shampoos,
you're gonna be looking at strength conditioners
strength products.
Anything from Kerastase Resistance
is gonna be incredible for you.
Anything from the Virtue Recovery range.
The new Redken bond enhancer is really great, as well.
So there's definitely lots of prods in that kind of terms.
If that's something you'd like to see more from,
let us know.
That's kind of the run-through of the products
that if you are experiencing hair loss,
that I would kind of steer towards.
It's such a big topic.
It's one of those ones that you can kind of dive deep into,
but because it's so individualised,
it's all about how your hair and what your hair likes
and kind of what it actually needs.
Otherwise, if you have any questions,
leave 'em in the comments.
We'll have a look, we'll get back to them,
and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Bye.
