when i was 17 i started losing my hair and it was one of probably the most difficult things
in my life that i've ever had to like overcome and get past my specific hair loss is genetics
so i've been tested i had my thyroid tested i had everything tested and all my hormone levels are
are perfect everything is perfect so for 20 years i've struggled with my hair continually getting
worse and worse and worse and worse and you can see what it was at its worst here on the left
and then i after getting my hormones tested and everything i needed to figure out how to reverse
this and i was able to not only stop my hair loss but start growing it back it was a really
big struggle for me for a very long time and what i'm going to share with you guys today on how to
conceal and cover up thinning hair um what i do to basically help conceal my bald spots conceal
my thinning hair um i think it's gonna help you so much in your life i think of it like makeup
for your hair right you put makeup on your face why would it be such a big deal to put literally
makeup on your hair to like cover these areas that might be causing you to feel a little bit
insecure about yourself and so what i'm going to be sharing with you guys today is basically what i
found that's helped me so that i could conceal my thinning hair that is genetic it gave me
confidence and especially my business is on social media and before i found figured this out i was so
shy i was so introverted um it really just like opened up my shell my intention for this video
today is to help those of you out there who might be struggling with hair loss or hair thinning and
are just looking for a solution to help them cover that up now i did do a video that shared how i
re-grew my hair and how i stopped that hair loss because um i was letting it go out of control like
i just kept losing more and more and more and more hair every year and then eventually i was like i
need to do something about this so i actually used a specific type of product that i applied
to my hair as well as red light therapy and i was able to regrow my hair and stop the hair loss and
i shared all of the details on all of that in this video which you can check out next after this one
but with this video i really just want to show you guys exactly what i do to conceal my thinning hair
now you can see my hair how it's like it's not so bad where you're probably looking at me and you're
like your hair loss doesn't look that bad and that's because i was able to grow back a lot of it
it's actually gotten to the point where i almost feel comfortable going out just like this with my
hair the way it is now if you're someone who's experienced hair loss um or hair thinning you
know exactly what i'm talking about the last video i didn't mention some of the nutritional choices
that i've been doing that's helped as with my hair loss as well and one thing that i know helps a lot
with growing back hair is really high b vitamins and i use i've been using this product for the
past couple years i drink it for like almost like a pre-workout it helps me with other things like
energy mental clarity focus that sort of thing and so this product
and this i wasn't using this for the hair growth and it's not one of the benefits of the product
however because this has four thousand percent be twelve vitamins and three hundred percent vitamin
b6 i do think consuming this every day has also made an impact in that so i just want to throw
that out there because i did not talk about that in the last video let's talk about concealing the
hair so there's a couple different things that i do first thing i do is and especially when my hair
loss was much worse like when this part was much wider um i would use this gray away and this one's
kind of used and i also got this other one which is a different brand um so this hairline powder
okay and so when it was much worse i it was very helpful to use this powder with this little thing
and i would just kind of like brush my my hairline now since my hair has filled in much more since
it's grown back with the system that i've been been following and everything that i've been doing
i have been able to just use this second step which is what i'm going to do today and show
you how i do this okay so if you have really really a really really wide hairline wider than
my hairline you want to first start with this and then you want to apply this around the hairline
or you can do it the other way around i guess um but if your hairline looks like mine does then you
could just do exactly what i'm doing so basically what i do is i blow dry my hair i i shampoo my
hair i use the special um i'm i use the vegamore products so i use the shampoo and the conditioner
in the shower i really like it because it doesn't add any like weird gunk or anything to my hair i
apply the serum right after and then i blow dry my hair and then that's when i apply this topic
hair building fibers now i've tried different hair building fibers i've tried the one from
um boldify and all of this is available on amazon except for the vegamore i have a separate link
for the vegamore stuff the ketones if you're interested in this i do have samples of these if
you want to try those the boldify is definitely a thicker product and this one i've found to be it's
more expensive but it's i think better so this the one that i use is medium brown now if you have
my hairs i would say a fairly dark brown color it's gone all the way up to almost black and this
one still works if your hair is on the lighter side you definitely don't want to go for like the
deep the dark dark brown because it will be noticeable if your roots are a little bit darker
but i have not seen it work on blonder hair or that is i will say this if i ever get
um highlights it's very weird if the highlights are too close to the root so i just don't
i just keep my hair one solid color just because it's easier to conceal
like my thinning hair so what i do typically is i will just kind of
part my hair and i just allow the powder to kind of and hopefully you guys can see this
fill in the areas there and then i just continue parting it out i go under because your hair if
it's thin you know you want to go underneath where it's thinning and then in the back you
probably have a part in your in the back so i just go down along like my natural part line
and that's basically how i fill this in i just pull it all in sections just randomly and
try to just get it in there this is what i do first before i get to my actual hairline
now over here if you get closer to your face you just want to cut put your hands
to cover kind of like where your face is so you don't get see that powder kind of fell
on my hands a little bit so you just want to be careful
as you're putting the powder on there to just kind of
and it's going to kind of drop a little bit and some of it will get on your face so
it's helpful to use um like a towel or something to just kind of brush the powder off your face
if it gets on there at all and so i do that until i get all the way around the side needs
a little bit more so i'll add a little bit more over here and then the back i make sure
okay so once i get it like that now i left my part
once i get it like that so the main areas like in here i think i got it all is
you know as thick as it's gonna ever look um then i come in and i kind of just
slowly bring and i put my hand here again so i just kind of block my face and i just lightly
apply the powder and i don't want it to be too super thick over here by my
hairline because i want it to be able to look natural enough that you can still
kind of see and you can kind of go like this with your fingers too
let's just add a little bit more until we get it
to the point where
okay so
if you need to remove any like around around your hairline area you can do that
i'm just going to remove a little bit
and then
all right so now
that looks pretty good for me to for my hairline now typically and i don't
know if it's just because i'm in this room maybe when i do it i'm not so close to it
but i think that looks pretty good okay so that's what i do now like i mentioned before when i had
a wider hairline i would have taken this product and i would have just and i do like the gray away
better i just do it's a little more expensive than the boldify but the gray away i would say
these two products would be ideal this um bodify boldify is good but
it's just a little more difficult to work with i would say so
i always check in a mirror i always take my little mirror and i check the back just to
make sure i got everything um and then i will use like a hairspray you don't have to use a hairspray
but i like to use hairspray like right at my roots just to kind of set the the powder
especially since i live in florida where it can be a little bit more windy that way i don't have to
worry about the wind the next thing for thickness so there's another thing i do for thickness now i
got these off of amazon they're little clip in hair pieces you guys may have seen these in my
vlogs i do a lot of what i eat in a day vlogs here like keto routine vlogs and one of my recent ones
i showed you how i apply these little hair pieces i like to use and it comes with a lot like this
one i got it was very inexpensive and this is human hair which is great and like i said you
can get it on amazon and it matches my hair color like exactly they have different hair
colors for this but it comes with all of this all of this hair and you can kind of like build it
how you want to build it i don't like extensions because i just don't want something pulling on my
root more because i don't want to cause more damage i don't want to cause more hair loss
and most of the time i just do my hair like this but if i'm going out or i'm doing something where
i feel like i want to have thicker hair and this isn't even to add length because this will bring
it to my same length it's more so just to add um volume what i will do is i will take apart it
so i'm parting it around kind of like a halo right around like this okay and then i'll put it up
and then from there i'll take one of my longer thicker pieces that has three but i think there's
one with four yes so i'll take the four clip and then i'll bring it in the back and i will
like it i do you don't want it to hit the part of your hair up here that's that's clipped you
want it to go on the hair that is falling and then you just kind of want to clip them
around your head
that way it adds just like a little bit of volume to your hair and
that might be all you need or want
and they're pretty there are pretty comfortable and then you will want to go back with a um
mirror and then just because like in the back like if you can see here where it is there
the line you know my hair is going to fall over it but i can go back and i can fill in anywhere
that i i may need to fill in just so if you can see my scalp if you can see the line anywhere
from the hair you just fill in the areas where you might have scalp and then these little pieces
are great to use right in the front area like right over here it'll add just a little bit of
volume right there
to kind of bring up
the hair in the front and then there's these smaller pieces which you could also apply like
over here if you want more volume um for me though because a lot of it's grown back like
this is enough volume for me i don't want it to look fake like i don't want it to look like
i have anything in my hair so i wanted to look very natural so i'll do this oh before i forget
another thing um if you're like me and you have gray hair which my i'm almost turning 40 in
in three years that's a little dramatic almost turning 40 no i'm i'm turning 40 in three years
but my gray hair started really coming in like in my root area and so especially when you fill in
with this powder stuff you probably want to take care of any random stragglers stragglers of gray
and so this pen thing really works really well and i'll link all of these in the description below
um but what you do is you just pick up a piece of of gray and then you just color it that way
and also um liquid eyeliner works great for this too so i'll do that as well sometimes like
if i don't have anything on hand i'll just use my liquid eyeliner i use like black eyeliner but it's
not noticeable because it's just literally like one strand of hair that you're doing at a time
and so you just kind of like go through and you color each one individually and it will
help with that because this is a lighter color on your root so it can be more noticeable especially
if you fill it in with some sort of powder so like i mentioned before when i figured out how
to do this it allowed me to have so much more confidence i felt so much better about myself
um and that's helped me in so many different areas of my life like i can tell you right now i
wouldn't even have a business online if i didn't figure out how to conceal my um thinning hair
i just would have been way too self-conscious to even put myself out there it was really really
holding me back in life and so i have a lot to thank for that so hopefully this video helps you
