Have you tried the oral minoxidil and spironolactone? Those are the treatments that dermatologists prescribe for AGA for women.

I want to clarify something from this video. I live on the property where this happened, and there has been no travel trailer here for decades. @365hacking I’d love to have a conversation with you sometime…

Thank you for sharing your story and feelings about your hair loss. I recently started 4 months ago and now have no hair on my sides and I’m getting very thin on top I’m having a very hard time dealing with it. How do you do it ?

I am 57 and had this problem since age 24 for some reason my hair has gotten fuller (I praise the Lord. I pray daily for my hair) I use the powder but will give this product a try. Dealing with bald spots is not easy specially for a woman no matter what age you are.

I have had alopecia since I was 13 years old. I sm now 70. It's been a long road of wigs, scraves, and eye brow pencils. I used to use and eye brow pencil with water to make brown paint for the balding patches to hide them. Now the sprays are available. Many years of tears. Stress was a big factor, but I would talk to a doctor about hormone levels and thyroid levels, too. Since menopause my hair loss has stopped, although I still have thinking I haven't had bald patches in 10 years.

As a married man, I’ve actually had male inmates (pen pals) ask me if my wife was okay with me writing them. Especially if they’re sex offenders. So, the question may have been sincere. I get that a lot, and I’m not bothered my it. My wife just asks that I remain anonymous for the safety of our family, but other than that, it is a legitimate question they ask.

I love your attitude 💛 Accept the balding- I’m working on that. I spent a lot on wigs and never felt like myself- kind of fake and self-conscious. So I’m working on accepting what I have 😊

I forgot, try to avoid spray products as much as possible to hide alopecia, they clog the pores and could make your situation worse. At this stage you should try to always keep your scalp free and clean.

Hi, I would like to help you if I can. I was initially diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, but female alopecia is never "pure", there are often other reasons. Thanks to a good endocrinologist, after decades of suffering, I understood that I suffered from insulin resistance. Few doctors are good at diagnosing it. I'll tell you what worked for me: - Follow a low sugar diet, always prescribed by the endocrinologist, learn to read labels. Avoid foods that have more than 5g of sugars per 100g in the section: "Carbohydrates of which sugars" - Try to avoid stress, it worsens insulin resistance terribly. - Constant physical activity. Even half an hour or an hour of walking a day is fine, or train with KZfaq videos. - For topical treatment do not go to a dermatologist, he will not help you. You need to go to a good trichologist. He prescribed me a biostimulation treatment to be done every 15 days, they are small pricks on the head. Then specific shampoo and conditioner and a lotion to apply before drying them. You will see that it will change your life. Good luck!! And never give up!💪🏻 😘

Hi I'm a baker I think I lost my hair due to being in the kitchen making too many cakes..

If its patterned alopecia then the late teens is 1st hair fall when it begins then it happens in our 30s and thats it more studies need to be done for this as it effects our lives greatly mine is all thick but the front is same as yours and it os not so simple to hide sprays can run in rain and it runes the freedom to do alot of activitys that may causr sweat geez its hard

Wow where you get this stuff, I went t a dermatologist awhile back had a gallon bag full of hair that I saved for about a month and a half 2 months, and his bs to me was well it looks like alot because your saving it, I totally dont want to go back so its just been thinning thinning thinning I have no idea why its falling out because that doc said its no Alopecia, I want to go get a short cut because its getting so hot but afraid it will show scalp worse, heck maybe just go get a buzz cut. I hate it but would use this product, what is it and where is it, thanks God Bless your courage

Stop saying "famous" serial killer. It's "infamous"

HELLO GINA AND THANKS FOR THE UPDATE! 2 QUICK QUESTIONS: ARE YOUR FOLLICLES IN THE BALD SPOTS DEAD LIKE THEY DO NOT PRODUCE ANY HAIR OR THEY PRODUCE WEAK HAIR THAT FALLS OUT RIGHT AFTER? I ASK BECAUSE I AM SUFFERING FROM THE SAME THING. ALSO DO YOU FEEL YOUR HEAD EMPTIER AND EMPTIER OR AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT FEELING? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE RESPONSE . YOUR VIDEOS GIVE ME STRENGTH

You are beautiful inside and out ❤

I’m a military wife too. 11 years of moving around & 1 more PCS to go! Wish us luck! 🍀

Having been corresponding with prisoners for over a decade, I’d like to weigh in for a little bit. Prisoners can NOT receive gifts from the outside, so no: “oh, I’m letting my kids make them something” or “I’m gonna send them stuffs”. Not allowed. They’re going digital in most states and even the handwritten letters are being sent to a central point only to be scanned and sent to their tablets. Fwiw: writing with prisoners is kinda dying because of the rise of social media and life getting more digital, also: there’s a lot more scamming going on and finding a decent penfriend is nearly impossible compared to 13 years ago when I started writing.

Do you or did you have any itching? Flaking? Could you feel strands of hairs literally popping off your scalp? Like your scalp literally just spits it out and you can actually feel it? Do you have ridges on your nails? How long has it been going on? Mine it excessively falling out and it’s been a year already and it’s not stopping. I wish so much that I could have your confidence and attitude!!

Just my opinion but u look like u have quite a bit more now!

my hysband will NOT love me bald and I am going that way pretty damn quick. I used to have a head full of dark brown head now at 72 it is extremely thin on top , doing better on the sides. By the way he is completely bald. He is telling me to get in touch with all those wig makers. My response is; I loved you when you lost yours so now I will just shave mine and we will be equal. If not take a hike mate, nobody is going to cook your meals as I do,

Hi Gina , it really does not look any worse than the last time I saw you and it’s gotten so long . I have had an official diagnosis of Female pattern baldness ☹️. I think it’s worse but everyone including my stylist assures me it’s not . Still using my trusty Batiste and root concealer sprays , have looked into getting a hair topper but no more than that . Not prepared to wear a hair piece while the back and sides are pretty thick and full . Anyway thanks for this update , love and best wishes to EVERYBODY who is suffering the trauma of losing their hair 🫶🏻💐

Did u use menoxidil?

I could really benefit from Rogaine I think, but I'm too scared to try it. I have 4 cats and the main ingredient is poisonous to cats even in small amounts; so a nibble on my hair, cuddling up near my hair at night or on my pillow, a quick lick near my forehead as i'm passing by....and it could kill them.

Im 66 and ive tried loads of treatment at a cost and seriously dont work im now seriously thinking about a wig but absolutely terrified it will blow of in a strong wind 😢

Yes you are beautiful😊😊😊

Do you know the cause of your hair loss, do other people have others options if theirs is caused by different reasons?

What you have is what I have exactly. I'm going through some depression but you're so up I admire you. My husband is bald and he jokes we are going to match one day...and I wish I was a guy to go bald just like him. Oh I did watched your video from 4 years ago.

I don't know if you've ever tried Castor oil? But it is worth a try it has been so successful for use on the skin etc. It is worth a try it is all natural... 💌

Thank you so much for sharing. You' re great!!!

Mine is the same. I did Alma TED but nothing has changed. I just watch my hair fall out everyday. I use Ageless Beauty color spray on my scalp. It really helps hide the balding. Best wishes!❤

There is oral minoxidil that works wonders

Ahhh your back , I’ve missed your vids. I’ve just started topical minoxidil I’m at a stage now where I need drastic help. It’s so depressing:(

Organic red onion juice 45 minutes then rinse w filtered water only.stops hair fall in its tracks. Apple cider vinegar restores the ph in your scalp . Do this 3 days after the onion juice. Do not blow dry unless it’s on low heat from a arms distance. Rosemary oil another 3 days later. On your scalp . Eat sockeye salmon wild caught, with the skin w rosemary ,Eat spinach for iron. Eat garlic n onions w rosemary oysters for zinc.b complex . This helped me . 1 cup of blueberries 1 cup of water1 cup of kale 1 cup of kifir plain w probiotics. Blended.

Thanks for the update! I have missed your presence here and your matter of factly approach to this subject!

Update castor oil + black pepper powder mix and don’t wash your scalp 10 to 15 days remember not hair but about the scalp experiment weather it work for you or not

I just want to alert people Minoxidil has a side effect that causes shedding, and it can last weeks to months. Doctors associate this as positive as it means the person will be a good responder. However, there have been people where it doesn't grow back and if it does, it's not recoup all the hair loss. I have lost 80 percent of my hair, and my cause is malabsorption, which causes low iron. I have yet to find someone despite seeing so many doctors who could help. Hair loss is incredibly frustrating and emotionally draining for women.

I have had hair loss from lupus since my 20s. I chopped my hair down to a pixie for almost 10 years, but have been growing it back out for about the last year and wanted to share what's been working for me. I've had really good success recently with daily oral minoxidil. I like just taking a pill better than putting stuff on my thin, baby fine hair. Before minoxidil, I tried one of those red light therapy hats that I bought used off eBay and it was definitely helping as well - enough so that my rheumatologist noticed the difference. On days when I'm going out and dressing to impress (rarely), I've found that Scalp Foundation from Me Cosmetics works amazing. It costs more initially than the Batiste, but lasts a really long time. I've had mine over a year and I've barely dented the amount in the compact. (I have no affiliation with the company; it's just a good product.) Re: your gastric reflux. I ignored mine for way too long because in the laundry list of things wrong that I have to deal with daily, that seemed like the least worrisome. Turns out, I was wrong and have severe damage to my esophagus. So, I would recommend don't ignore that one.

I'm a guy and I'm 6'4 and I remember feeling so awkward about my height when I was younger. I didn't play sports - I went to a performing arts high school where we didn't even have gym! I didn't feel comfortable with being tall til much later in life.

I dont understand when people say they dont want to spray chemials on their head but will use puddy and hair spray and whatever else. Im surprised your hair still looks the same pretty much as it has for years. Did you have any hair loss befote your surgery? Any pics? Thats usually TE hair loss which grows back 😢 Turkey... Do women go their for transplants? They're as little as 10k. Thats a part time job for less than a year but you look fine and you seem okay with it.

For your viewers - rogaine isnt something you should take when you feel like it. When you begin, you will experience a massive shed and will look worse (at first) than before you used it. That loss is temporary and will fill back in with gains and then some. However if you stop, your hair WILL fall out and if you start again, you will start the sheddinf process all over again. Rogaine is intended to keep the hair you have left so each time you quit just to restart, you will be restarting from a different place of hair loss - one that is worse than the last time.

I love your attitude. My hair is thinning like hell and your videos help alot. It's often talked about men balding but I've never noticed much about woman

Omg girl I wondered what happened to you ! Missed seeing you hope you keep making videos 🤍

Have you considered PRP? It works for female pattern baldness. It may not bring your entire hair back, but can certainly help stop the shedding and being some hair back

Using the oils have not made my hair grow. But, it has only been 6 months and the castor oil was not a good choice. God bless everyone. 🙏🦋

Hi Gina, good to see you. Wow, your hair grows longer and longer. Mind doesn’t. Question: is anyone or has anyone used oils? For example, I started six months ago using castor oil with rosemary oil, only a few drops per oil, but I found out that castor oil is too thick, the scalp doesn’t absorb much of it. So, I am thinking of buying argon oil and mix it with rosemary oil. Let me know if anyone has tried this. Thanks :). God bless you

I love your matter-of-fact attitude: how you still wear your hair up, live your life as normal and continue on your way without hair loss holding you back. I find it really inspirational & love seeing you on here - have been following since your VSG days. Please don't ever change! Thank you for the update, take care 😊

I am slowly losing my hair my mother wore wigs for most of her adult life I haven't found a wig that I think looks good on me sometimes I just look at myself in digust I know I'm probably making a bigger problem out of this than it really is but I can't help it I feel like I tried just about everything from pills to topical solutions with no results I like your videos at least I know I'm not alone

Finally a post! Been thinking of u

Your hair actually looks better. I don't see any more loss since last time I saw you. This is good! Is your hair wet or dry in this video?

I am also losing a lot of my hair and have not been able to figure out why. Thank you for being so transparent about your hair loss and talking openly about it. I loved what you said at the end of the video, how you don’t worry about what other people think and that you are not ashamed of your hair loss. Your videos are encouraging more women then you know! ❤
