Collagen peptides saved my hair & skin.& nails. Ive been taking it for 10 years Im currently 60 yrs young. Late menopause- horrid long peri years. Looking forward to the rest of my life ❤🙏
Recently I just started taking collagen gummies and was so shocked that about 10 days later I suddenly noticed that my dry, wirey hair (that I thought was from menopause) was suddenly much softer and smoother!!! Now I love just touching my hair! 😂 I never thought the texture/dryness would change! I’m so amazed!
I stop relaxing my hair,in my early menopause,I am all Natural and my hair is healthy and very thick, Great information Ms Elliee for us all, God bless you 🙏🙏
I use the new shampoos that are out now with hyaluronic acid in them, lots of brands do them now, I find this helps alot with my very dry, coarse hair.
When you get your routine annual blood test, they should test for nutritional deficiencies. If you're not deficient, don't waste your money on expensive nutritional hair supplements like Nutrafol. It's likely that your hair loss is hereditary and/or androgenetic (too much DHT testosterone as a result of menopause). In that case, you should use DHT blockers. People who prefer natural products shy away from minoxidil, but it was prescribed to me by a renown hair doctor at UCLA. She told me that it's OK to use the 5% liquid, even though the instructions say it's for men - because that's just a marketing ploy. She said 5% is fine for women. Well that stuff is a bit irritating (probably from the propylene glycol that's in it), but it works. Within a few months of topical use, the hair at my temples grew in. I'm so happy, but I do have to use it every day, or the hair loss will return.
Thanks for sharing your experience Audrey. I agree, annual blood tests should tes for nutritional deficiencies. Often if you ask your doctor they will test a good few markers that can be helpful.
@@alliebahbah7139 it is known that falling oestrogen can affect the hair follicle shape which can then result in thinner hair. It is much better to improve hair by what you eat rather than putting something on so just make sure that you're getting plenty of protein every day, maybe even take a protein powder shake and add in a specific hair supplement.

Well this one is an eye opener for me....ohhh the dreaded menopause is there no end to the many symptons? Wow mines is almost gone really patchy and thin out beyond thin....I stop using chemicals years ago...I have never heard of MSN will check that out for sure....my hair is ok in the back the front is my problem.grateful and thankful for these vlogs the advice on here are priceless and i welcome them weekly...Thanks Eileen🙏
Since when did coconut oil have adverse effects unless you are allergic, infisn eomen hsve eaten and used coconut and every oil possible on hair with zero side effects . Oils are great conditioners!
I’m approaching 50 and for a couple years now the parting in my hair has gone noticeably wider. This video explains a lot. I’m not vain but would not like to be bald either. Being a vegetarian I guess I’ll need to start looking into plant based protein powders and add B vitamins and iron to my diet. If there are any tried and tested shampoos and conditioners that’ve helped others please let me know. I currently use Pantene. This issue does affect my self confidence and people are not kind sometimes when they comment on my hair.
Hi I would also recommend a supplement called MSM, this can be very good for hair growth and preventing thinning, you can get this from health shops. I don't know of any natural shampoos that would help to thicken hair but I have seen adverts for Plantar 39 ( I think) that seems to be popular. And, yes, plenty of protein as well You may also find doing a good scalp massage every night can be of benefit, just to improve circulation in the scalp. You should be able to find instructions on RU-vid Best Wishes Eileen
Have done all of this for years. Now, nothing seems to help. I have started taking iron because my Ferritin was so low. It’s just heartbreaking. Mine is also genetic & aging.
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you so much.Since my menopause I am feeling so rough 😢 and confused with my symptoms but you're always so helpful and at last good practical advice.
I started getting hot flashes once in a while. One day I became obsessed with eating dry roasted edamame. I eat a 4 oz bag of these in less than a week. It’s like my body craved them. I ate so much I was worried and looked up benefits of edamame. I found out about soy and menopause. I have not had a hot flash since I’ve been eating them. I hopefully there is no downside.
I got a right shock there....one day just noticed it was half the volume it defo was.. now I was too busy2keep it trimmed....but yes its not really noticeable YET.....tho I always had a mild bald patch at the back top of my head...that's back almost bald again....and my hair is thinning in general volume....so little there now...I've always had a long volumous beautiful head of hair...I am very lucky my lovely medium brown hair is still almost 100% it's same color.....I'm 50 next year...I have only rare strands of mild grey.....so I'll concentrate on the positive.....yes I'm finding hairs EVERYWHERE.....I can't believe I never connected this....thanks Eileen....I had severe hair loss many years ago and stress is the killer....so I'll not worry about it as this worked before....
Please remember, no over the counter topical products can stop hair loss or "re-grow" hair. It can help keep hair supple to prevent breakage only. Dont waste your money on products that claims it can grow your hair. To stop hair loss from the roots/scalp, its got to come from within. Diet, the proper vitamins and even blood circulation, etc. However!! You can use products to help slow or prevent breakage. Like oils and conditioners. Its very helpful to use hair oils on your hair to keep your hair supple and moisturized to keep it from breaking. When your hair is still damp, apply the oil from the mid-shaft down. I love Rehab Hair oil 1.0. Also always use a heat protectant before applying heat to your hair! Also, also, have a nice thick hair mask in your shower. Use it each time you shower after you wash and condition. It will really help keep the integrity of your hair and prevent dried ends that will break off. I love Eva NYC. You can also get a satin pillowcase. Silk pillowcases are good too but they cost 10 times more than satin and are much harder to care for. And be very careful with home and natural remedies! Unless blended correctly and used correctly they can cause more damage. Products with protein should be avoided because over usage cause hair to become very brittle all over and not just your ends. Its gotta be used in cycles, its best to avoid it and just have it done professionally if they recommend it. If you get your hair lightened in any way that is opening and lifting the cuticle of your hair and that itself is creating damage. No matter how much you condition, the bleaching process can only be grown out for the hair shaft to be full "healthy" again. At the end of it all, Its just hair. We identify so much with it as women and theres nothing wrong with that but remember, *you are beautiful from within* . Your heart, soul, charisma, talents, interests, dreams,... thats what makes you beautiful. ❤
Hi Eileen are you able to offer any advice on hair colouring? , as I've got to my mid forties I felt I should come away from permanent colours ,believing semi perms to be gentler . I'm not ready to embrace my grey just yet but I want to look after my hair.I have been using Clairol natural instincts a box dye, which is marketed as more natural , however I know it still contains chemicals and ppd.The last two times I've had my hairdresser colour it with a permanent dye which doesn't contain ppd but I'm not sure whether semi perm box colour is the best way . I'm noticing my scalp more a little at the front and I don't know if it's the perm dye causing it or the fact that I've been through copious amounts of stress over many years . Please can you help in trying to go do the right thing with my diet but hair dye is the main chemical I use and I'm unsure what to do for best ??? Thank you 😃
Hi Nicola There are a number of companies that do natural hair dyes that are effective. If you're in the UK or Ireland you could try Naturtint, Tints of Nature or GentleHairDye, H&B in the UK also do a natural one so quite a few to choose from. Protein is really important for healthy hair so make sure that you are getting some in every meal along with a varied diet to give you all the nutrients your hair needs. You can also take a hair formula supplement - you can get these from health shops and remember to drink lots of lain water as dehydration can affect hair growth. Yes, stress can be a big factor too! Maybe also ask your doctor to test your thyroid, iron levels, and vitamin D and B12 as issues with any of these can cause hair loss as well. Best Wishes Eileen
@@patriciapyper4617 Aloe juice can have lots of benefits so worth taking. Health food shops will have a range of natural hair dyes for sensitive skin. Best Wishes Eileen
Hiya, thanks for another great video. I can relate to this because I am losing all my edges. 😊 me and the edges fought dayle and my diet is pretty good ' stay blessed 🙏
I went through a surgical menopause 18 years ago. I took HRT for 17 years. Never helped my Hair, took hair supplements. Never Helped. Lost 50 of my hair volume. Can see all my scalp. Apparently, It's called androgen alopecia. Your Hair does not grow back.
Thank You Loretta! I take an MSM supplement (which helps with nails and bones too!) and also some colloidal silica every now and again. Best Wishes Eileen
