Glad you’re feeling more positive with everything Heidi, thank you for taking us along your journey to regrowing your lovely long locks. Take care and know that all your subscribers are here for you xx
I heard a French proverb that said" God gave you that mountain to show others it can be climbed. I think Mel Robbins has a variation of this saying as well. As hard as it is, by sharing this journey, you'll help so many. I'm sorry this happened to you - take good care.
I don’t understand why the stylist would say you are going to go bald. I am currently going through a very similar experience with bleach damage . I mostly blame myself because I was intent on having way too many highlights put in my hair too often to disguise grey hairs ( even though my stylist puts color on the roots as well in between foils ) . The past few months I have noticed hair breakage on the blonde streaks but in the past month it has reached a whole different level of bad! 😞 What I am going to do now is just simply not have my stylist use bleach anymore. To disguise my gray I am going to have her use just color and get rid of blonde and go back to brunette. Have to say I am not happy about going back to brown because I loved the blonde streaks but it is simply not worth the damage to my hair. It has gotten so bad I just rather in time have strong healthy brown hair than broken fried blonde hair ! I remember during the pandemic when I couldn’t go to the salon and I was touching up my roots to cover the grey with just Goldwell salon dye, my hair has never looked healthier. Bleach is just so damaging ! Hope all improves with your hair and I look forward to seeing how you progress.
Same. I’m growing out blonde highlights which turned orange in the end. My ends are so brittle! Going back brunette and just doing touch ups in between.
My husband suffered your type of Alopecia due the stress of being the main caregiver to his dying father who suffered dementia near his end of life. He lost about a thumbprint sized spot of hair just off the front of the top right side of his head. When that bald spot grew back in, it grew back in completely white/silver.
I’m so sorry your husband went through such a challenging and stressful time. Same happened to my brother in his beard! He is a Doctor and it was triggered during the Pandemic. The one time he experienced this it grew back silver. But I’ve experienced this many, many times since I was 6 and still it has always grown in the same hair color. But, you never know!
@@heidiguttenberg I love that you’re bring awareness to your audience like this, Alopecia is important to understand. Because when you experience it for the first time, it can be scary, isolating and embarrassing if you’re unfamiliar with what Alopecia is and the many reasons it can develop. Knowledge is POWER! So, Thank you ♥️
Honestly, I don’t think most of those treatments are worth it. The result is minimal if any at all. The existing hair outside was burnt, it didn’t affect the inside/follicle so it should grow back normally. The best remedy is let it grow out and never bleach it again. I know it’s really difficult because you love your blonde hair. I did too.. had been bleaching it since I was 9 years old. 3-4 years ago I decided to stop and let it all grow out and now I have the healthiest long hair that is down to my waist and still growing longer. It’s a trade off for most people.. either blonde damaged hair or non bleached healthy hair.. unless you’re one of the lucky ones that have healthy hair that reacts well to the bleach!
I’ve seen this work on close relatives with my own eyes, so that’s why I’m giving it a go. And as I explained in the video, there are additional medical reasons for me. How did you manage colorwise to grow out your hair? Did you dye the bleached area to match?
@@heidiguttenberg Gotcha, well I hope it works for you too! 😎 So I had blue hair at the time I decided to grow it out so while it was in that awkward growing out stage where it looks like really bad roots and not something intentional, it didn’t look all that bad. Once the blue washed out a lot.. which was awhile cuz blue stays in foreverrrrrr it just looked like I had some blonde in the mids/ends. I have light red/brown so it blended decently. I never put color or bleach on it again and let it grow out. So the ends of my hair are a little lighter now but it’s almost all my natural color now. However I do have 2 almost white money pieces in the front. I thought they would look so ugly growing out but they were just fine and actually helped me. They are straggly damaged and fried and it’s been a wonderful reminder of why I shouldn’t bleach my hair ever again lol!! So I think your best bet is just dealing with the grow out process or maybe in a few months you can soften the harsh root line with a color that will blend the 2 colors together. Kind of like a root smudge but not at the root. (Cosmetologist here) 😃
@@heidiguttenberg I surprised at how easy the growing our process was. I kept waiting for my hair to get to an awkward looking stage and it never did. My hair also grew SO incredibly fast. Since I was bleaching it basically the second it came out of my head for so many years, I never knew my hair was capable of growing so fast. Whatever you do is going to be quicker and not as bad as you’re imagining. Before you know it you’ll have healthy hair again! 😁
Heidi !! Estoy tan feliz de que te estén tratando en Medical Hair !!! Porque son palabras mayores, y estar en manos de los mejores médicos expertos hace que puedas relajar y tener la certeza de que tu pelo va a estar divino. ❤ Te mando un súper abrazo!!!
Ok this makes a lot more sense why you freaked out when the stylist told you that about going bald. If I were dealing with alopecia as well I would too! Thanks for sharing this video.
Mesotherapy is great... I have been doing it for the past 6 months for my face and it has helped me tremendously for my rosacea along with some laser treatment! I hope your hair health bounces back soon! I have also heard that raw coconut water first thing in the morning a few times a week could also be very beneficial for skin and hair! This is just an Indian thing our ancestors have been raving about! But do consult your doctor before trying it... Much love from India ❤
Thank goodness you’re in a big city to find the experts you needed. I’m assuming BsAs? The gal at the studio saying your hair was going to fall out sounds very inexperienced. However, the fact that you dealt with some minimal alopecia arreata would have had me camping outside the doctors clinic day 1! Hope you’re feeling better!! Hair looks great
I’m glad you are getting help Heidi. It’s interesting.. I have a little spot of missing hair like you. Luckily is in the back of my head and it’s covered by my hair. I’ve never been diagnosed with alopecia. Your hair looks beautiful in this video.. even through your struggles. Looking forward to more videos as time goes on Heidi. Sending you love. 💜
I am so sorry you had to go through this!! What a horrific experience! Were you considering going darker after your hair heals? Your natural color is so dark. and would suit you so well I feel and much less maintenance and could be a healthier option. Highlift blonde color can be also very damaging, it requires high percentage of developer, plus almost always pulls a ton of brass on a dark base as yours, because doesn’t have the same lightning power as bleach. I would get some semi permanent lowlights to transition to a more “bronde” in a future 😍
My Derm dr prescribed Biotin vitamins and Minoxidil. Biotin vitamins helped. Minoxidil made my scalp greasy so I stopped using it. I thought it was gross. If I stop taking my Biotin vitamins my hair will,also fall out. Thank you talking about this. Nobody talks about. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward in learning through your journey. Again thank you💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know u don't want to experiment, but I couldn't help wonder what if that therapy was only on one half of your head to compare the difference 🤓. Also you can (gladly) see already how much growth you've had by the demarkation line. I think the challenge is coping with less volume/ density at the ends of your hair than your used to. Thanks for documenting your journey ♡
Hi Heidi 💚 so glad that you are starting to feel like a weight has been lifted,,after the traumatic experience you have went through I 🙏 this is going to speed up your recovery but you will get there please stay positive Heidi,,,,I can relate with the aging process of hair changing as I am menopausal and my hair is thinning and changing texture and like you I have always took care of my hair and due to hormonal changes and stress it has took its toll on my hair and confidence,,,I am looking forward to seeing your journey Heidi and do you recommend minoxidil for thinning of the hair and please can you do a video on your experience please ❤take care and look forward to next one ❤lou
@@heidiguttenberg Please stay positive Heidi you are special kind soul of a lady and the way you have dealt with this speaks volumes,,I didn't go through what you went through but due to hormonal changes it's impacted my confidence and I honestly relate to you with the connection with our hair,,,you have got this and each day is another day that you are getting your hair length and health back 🙏❤louise
It happened to me to Heidi... I stopped bleaching my hair now I have long luscious hair... Bleach is pure hard chemicals... Now I avoid any non-natural shampoos and don't bleach anymore it has done the difference...
Heidi: Thank you for the update and taking us along. Question: What shampoo/conditioner/mask are you currently alternating along with this new treatment and his products? Have a great week ahead.
Just make sure none of the ingredients in the multivitamin interact with other health issues or medications. Biotin, for example, can mess with thyroid meds.
During COVID I suddenly developed a growing circular bald spot on my hairline. All my labs were normal except for a zinc deficiency. It began resolving itself within a couple months, I do still take a zinc supplement.
No natural remedies work as well as Minoxidil so there is no point adding them. I use the men’s Rogaine as other doctors say there is no reason not to and it’s just the pink tax.
Hello! I love your videos! One thing about minoxidil that i want to add is when you stop the treatment the new hair growth will fall out-i didnt know this before so i think Maybe this can be important.
@@heidiguttenbergyes, I’ve been told the same. You have to use it continuously. Personally, I’ve found good, fast results with a good peptide serum such as The Ordinary or Champo. (I’ve been on a hair loss journey with 2 types of alopecia. I’ve had steroid jabs, PRP, etc. Thankfully, it’s a lot better right now).
Además yo deje de decolorarme, porque aunque compre olaplex y mi cabello es muy grueso, tuve 2 veces quemaduras y pensé que era caspa, además que se terminó rompiendo.
@@heidiguttenberg Pues solo uso tintes fantasia como rojo y morado, estoy transicionando a largo y virgen, si extrañare decolorarme, pero neta esa experiencia fue horrible
Heidi, el aceite de romero también es maravilloso para crecer el cabello, compra el de mielle organics además es orgánico y esta científicamente comprado que junto con el minoxidil ayudan a crecer el cabello. Y neta todavía sigo enojado con esta disque profesional. Saludos desde mexico y también la finasterida ayuda con la alopecia areata. Y que bueno que uses minoxidil, verás que te ayudará mucho, pero es si tanto romero y minoxidil es de uso permanente
In no way did she say or act like hair is her whole life. 🙄 Most women are attached to their hair and her hair is part of her career so she has DOUBLE the reason to be upset about it. She’s handled it so much better than majority of people would have!
