1:12

all about hair . So thinning hair can be caused

1:14

by various factors . We're going

1:16

to talk about five common factors today

1:18

, but first I want to say a lot of

1:20

people approach me about thinning hair

1:22

because it is concerning

1:24

. I had that once happen

1:26

to me . It was stress or

1:28

I was eating wrong inflammation

1:31

in the body , but I was losing patches

1:33

of hair , called alopecia , and

1:36

I went to the dermatologist and

1:38

we tried shots in the head

1:40

, I tried red light therapy

1:43

, I tried different shampoos

1:46

, different treatments . So

1:48

today I want to share with you what

1:51

helped me and also some

1:53

things that you might not have considered

1:56

that might help you if you're suffering

1:58

from hair loss , or if you know someone who is

2:00

, or if one of your clients is suffering

2:02

from hair loss . Okay , so we're just going to

2:04

talk about that . Then we're also going to talk about

2:06

my favorite product , and you guys know that

2:09

I love Euphora and they have

2:11

a thickening regime that we're going to talk about

2:13

and why I love it so much . But

2:15

we're also going to talk about a few other

2:17

shampoos that are on the market and why

2:20

you might choose them and if they're

2:22

readily available to you , and

2:24

we're also going to talk about some supplements

2:26

that you might be able to take . So

2:29

hopefully this podcast

2:31

today will help you . The conversation

2:33

will help you , steer you

2:36

into a direction that you

2:38

know might help . But , of course , if

2:40

this is a concern of yours I am

2:42

not a doctor I would definitely

2:44

go see your dermatologist . Start

2:47

with your hairstylist . Your hairstylist can actually

2:49

tell if your hair is thinning inappropriately

2:51

or in spots , because they're

2:54

in there , right . But if there is

2:56

something that's concerning

2:58

you , please go to your dermatologist

3:00

. They can help . If you're losing patches

3:03

of your hair , that is a high cause

3:05

of concern . It's usually caused by stress

3:07

. However , it can

3:09

be caused by other things . So let's

3:12

get into this , okay . Like we said

3:14

, thinning hair can be caused by various

3:17

factors . One of the most common

3:19

and the most probably significant

3:21

factor is genetics

3:23

. Yeah , your

3:25

family , right , male and female

3:28

, the pattern of baldness

3:30

if you don't know that , males

3:32

and females , men and women , have

3:35

different patterns of baldness . Men

3:37

, you can see they have that receding hairline

3:39

and they tend to go thin out around

3:42

the receding hairline . Women tend

3:44

to thin out on their part

3:46

line and you see that a little

3:48

bit more and it just gets thinner and thinner . So

3:51

this type of thinning

3:53

is also known as androgenetic

3:57

alopecia . It can result in

3:59

gradual hair loss and

4:01

thinning over time . Can you do anything about

4:03

that ? You can slow it down by

4:06

using different shampoos

4:08

, making sure that you're not using products

4:10

that actually clog your hair follicle

4:12

. Your hair follicle is actually that

4:14

little hole in your scalp where your hair

4:16

grows out of , just in case you didn't know

4:19

that , because I'm probably going to say that word

4:21

many times throughout this . Okay

4:23

, number one genetics . Number

4:29

two hormonal changes . Now

4:31

, as a woman , your hormones fluctuate many

4:33

times throughout your lifetime Puberty , pregnancy

4:36

, menopause . There's

4:39

also a condition called polycystic

4:42

ovary syndrome and this

4:44

can lead to thinning hair . But hormones

4:46

in your body Men

4:54

have hormonal changes too , so don't get me wrong . But women , five or six times

4:56

, your hair will actually change and it'll change . It'll get thinner

4:59

or it could change

5:01

the texture of your hair . I've had a lot of people

5:03

ask me about that . Hey , my hair

5:06

texture is not the same . Well

5:08

, it could be a hormonal issue going

5:10

on in your body . Hormonal imbalances

5:12

affect hair growth cycle and

5:15

this leads to shedding and reduced

5:17

hair density . And we're going to talk about

5:19

the hair growth cycle in just a few minutes and

5:22

what that is and why you should

5:24

be concerned with this . Okay , if

5:26

you feel like you have a hormonal imbalance

5:29

, get your blood work done . Have

5:32

your doctor check it out . There's

5:34

things that you can do to help with that , okay

5:36

. Number three the different factors

5:39

of thinning hair age . Yeah

5:42

, as people age , their

5:45

hair naturally becomes finer and it starts

5:47

to thin . In everybody

5:49

. It's just due to the hair growth

5:51

cycle . It's just a natural occurrence

5:54

. Decreased production of hair follicles

5:56

age . Now can you do something

5:58

about this ? Absolutely Using

6:00

the correct shampoos , not using cheap

6:02

products on your scalp again clogging the hair

6:04

follicles , things like that . Okay

6:07

. The fourth cause of thinning hair can be

6:09

medical conditions . Yeah , certain

6:12

medical conditions and their treatments

6:14

can cause thinning hair as a side effect

6:16

. That can be thyroid

6:18

disorders , autoimmune

6:20

diseases like alopecia areata

6:22

, scalp infections . Autoimmune

6:26

diseases like alopecia areata , scalp infections . Nutritional deficiencies and some chemotherapies

6:29

or radiation therapy for

6:31

cancer Not all , but some

6:33

. There's treatments for all

6:35

of this , okay . Then the fifth

6:37

one is lifestyle factors . Poor

6:40

lifestyle choices , such

6:42

as excessive stress Bingo

6:46

big one . Okay . Improper

6:49

nutrition , crash

6:58

dieting , smoking , excessive hairstyling or use of harsh hair products and lack of

7:00

proper hair care can weaken the hair shaft and disrupt the hair

7:02

growth cycle , which leads to

7:05

thinning hair . Let's talk about a couple

7:07

of those , just real quick . Excessive

7:09

stress this is probably

7:12

one of the most that

7:15

I see . Something very

7:17

stressful will happen in your life . Okay

7:19

, like um gosh , it could be anything

7:22

. I even hate to go down that road . But maybe

7:24

a

7:26

loved one dies or you get a divorce

7:28

or I don't know something

7:31

pretty , you know , stressful . You

7:35

got fired from work . About

7:38

two to three months later you might

7:40

notice some excessive hair loss

7:43

because it takes that long

7:45

for your hair growth cycle to

7:48

go through its course and

7:50

if you had excessive stress

7:53

and it constricts the hair

7:55

follicles , you'll notice that same with

7:57

improper nutrition , crash

7:59

dieting If all of a sudden you

8:01

just deprive your body of the nutrients

8:03

it needs , it's gonna hold on

8:06

to things okay , so it's

8:08

not gonna allow your hair's gonna fall out

8:10

along with some other things

8:12

. But you know how some

8:14

people they have that surgery

8:16

for their stomach . You know it shrinks their

8:18

stomach and they all of a sudden aren't eating

8:21

very much . They're like drinking protein shakes

8:23

. You'll notice that their hair starts

8:25

thinning too . So they might be losing weight

8:27

, but their hair is thinning

8:29

. And then harsh

8:32

hair products . I see this one a lot

8:34

. You use products that contain

8:36

like wax , just

8:38

resins in them that actually

8:41

like a lot of cheap hairsprays

8:43

. Okay , I'm not going to name products

8:45

, but cheap hairsprays , cheap

8:48

conditioners . They actually have

8:50

products in there that build up

8:52

over time , that actually clog

8:54

your hair follicle and makes

8:57

it so you can't grow your hair . Keep

8:59

that in mind . Yeah , that's a . That's

9:02

a big one . People always ask what's

9:04

the difference in price for good hair

9:06

products versus that . Well , that's a

9:08

huge one . Okay , the what they're made out

9:10

of . Let's really dive into

9:12

some of the causes

9:15

, what you can do about it . Like

9:17

we said , thinning hair can happen because of things

9:19

like your genes . You know what

9:21

you inherit , what you eat , stress

9:24

, certain medicines and getting older

9:26

. But one big reason for thinning hair

9:28

is a hormone called DHT

9:31

DHT a

9:34

lot of people don't talk about this and

9:36

they don't know about this , but

9:38

DHT is something that your body makes

9:41

and it's important

9:43

for making you look more grown

9:45

up , if you will . It's a hormone

9:47

that happens in males

9:49

, mostly when they're going through puberty

9:52

, and it's

9:54

almost like the male growth hormone

9:56

, if you will . But as you get older

9:58

and it's in females too , okay

10:00

, females have testosterone , things like that

10:03

, in their system . But as you

10:05

get older , it can cause problems with your

10:07

hair and it messes up the way your hair

10:09

grows and it makes your hair follicles

10:11

remember where your hair grows from

10:14

smaller , and this

10:16

means your hair gets thinner and falls out more

10:18

easily . Okay , so remember

10:20

this DHT . Dht

10:22

basically makes your hair go through

10:25

a cycle where it grows for less time

10:27

, rests for more

10:29

time and falls out quicker . I

10:31

know does not sound good at

10:33

all . Over time , this

10:36

cycle can make your hair stop growing

10:38

altogether in some places , resulting

10:41

in alopecia sometimes

10:43

, or receding haine

10:46

or thinning at the crown

10:48

area . You know , you see the bald spot in

10:50

men's hair . So to fight this

10:52

, there's several treatments that stop

10:54

your body from making too much DHT . We're

10:56

going to talk about that . Okay , they also give

10:58

your hair and your scalp what they need to stay healthy

11:01

and grow new hair . These treatments

11:03

include things like special shampoos

11:05

and treatments made with ingredients that help

11:07

keep your hair healthy and prevent it from falling

11:09

out . So by using these

11:11

treatments , you can give your hair

11:13

the best chance to grow strong

11:16

and healthy , even as you get older . So

11:18

we're going to discuss some of the science behind

11:21

losing your hair and what you can do

11:23

about it . Research indicates that

11:25

the primary reason behind most

11:28

premature hair loss is a genetic

11:30

sensitivity to DHT

11:32

. Dht is known

11:35

as androgenetic alopecia

11:37

or pattern baldness

11:39

. What exactly

11:41

is DHT ? Well

11:44

, get ready . Dht

11:47

stands for dihydrotestosterone

11:50

. Yes , it is a form of testosterone

11:53

and , yes , women

11:55

have testosterone too , just like what

11:57

I was talking about . This is a potent

12:00

androgen hormone , crucial

12:02

for developing masculine characteristics

12:04

during youth . However , in

12:07

adults , genetic sensitivities

12:10

to DHT can lead to undesirable

12:12

effects , such as pattern baldness . The

12:15

enzyme 5-alpha

12:17

reductase converts testosterone

12:21

into DHT in various tissues

12:23

, including the skin and hair follicles

12:26

, interrupting the natural

12:28

hair growth cycle and follicle health . Okay

12:30

, stay with me here . I know that's

12:32

a mouthful , but

12:34

pretend like you

12:37

have your five alpha reductase

12:39

on one side , your

12:41

testosterone on the other side . Okay

12:45

, they're on this playground , they're playing right

12:47

, and when they get

12:50

together and they play together

12:52

, they actually create DHT

12:54

. We don't want that to happen . So

12:57

what we want to do is we want to build a

12:59

fence in between the

13:01

reductase and the testosterone

13:03

so they can't form the DHT

13:06

, and so the

13:08

products that we want to use form

13:11

this fence . Does that make sense ? Can

13:13

you imagine that with me ? Okay , so

13:15

that's what we want to happen

13:17

. So let's

13:20

talk about I keep saying

13:22

the growth phase . Let's talk about

13:24

the growth phase of

13:26

your hair , and then we'll

13:28

talk about how DHT

13:31

goes into the

13:33

growth stage . Okay , first you have

13:36

the antigen phase , which is the

13:38

growing phase of your hair . This

13:40

is the active phase

13:42

of hair growth , where your hair follicles

13:44

are busy producing new hair . Your hair

13:46

can grow about half an inch every

13:48

month when it's in this stage . This

13:51

stage usually lasts for several years , depending

13:54

on factors like genetics and overall

13:56

health . In a healthy individual that's

13:58

not prone to baldness . Then we have

14:00

the transition phase , which is

14:02

called the catagen phase . So after

14:05

the growing phase , your hair enters this transitional

14:07

period . During this phase , your hair

14:09

follicles shrink and your hair

14:12

growth slows down , and this usually

14:14

just lasts for a few weeks . And

14:16

then it goes into the resting phase , or

14:19

the telogen phase . This is where

14:21

your hair follicles are at rest . No

14:23

new growth occurs during this phase and

14:25

your existing hair is just hanging out , and

14:27

this phase lasts for a few months

14:30

. And then we have the shedding

14:32

phase , the exogen

14:35

phase . This phase is often

14:37

considered part of the telogen phase , the

14:39

resting phase , but it's the shedding

14:41

phase and it's when your hair naturally sheds , making

14:44

way for new hair to grow in

14:47

the same hair follicle . So you have one hair follicle

14:49

and only one hair could

14:51

grow out of that hair follicle on your head

14:53

at one time . Now shedding is just

14:56

a normal process and most people

14:58

lose around 50 to

15:00

100 hairs a day . That is normal

15:02

activity . If it's more than that , if you

15:04

have gobs , then that's when you become concerned

15:07

. So , after the shedding

15:09

phase , this cycle repeats itself and

15:11

new hair begins to grow from the follicles , starting

15:14

the antigen phase all over again . So

15:16

this cycle just keeps repeating like

15:18

a circle . So , in simple terms

15:20

, your hair goes through phases of

15:22

active growth , transition

15:25

, rest and shedding , with

15:27

each phase playing a role in the overall

15:30

health and growth of your hair . Now , not

15:32

every single follicle follows

15:34

the same cycle , so that's

15:36

why your hair doesn't just all

15:38

fall out and then grow back on

15:40

. This is taking place

15:42

all over your head at different times

15:45

. With this cycle

15:47

in mind , let's talk about how

15:50

DHT plays a role in these phases

15:52

. Dht interrupts

15:54

the natural cycle of the hair follicles . By

15:56

shortening the growth phase

15:59

, it reduces the time

16:01

available for your hair to grow . So

16:03

more follicles transition to the

16:05

resting phase , where they're inactive

16:07

and eventually shed . With

16:09

fewer follicles entering the antigen

16:12

phase and more entering the telogen

16:14

phase or the resting phase , hair

16:17

thinning and hair loss become more

16:19

noticeable . That makes sense , right

16:21

. As the DHT binds

16:23

to the androgen receptors in the

16:25

hair follicles , it causes them

16:28

to shrink . So

16:30

what is that , denise ? What's an androgen

16:32

receptor ? Well , it's inside

16:35

the hair follicles . So if you're thinking about

16:37

like planting a tree and the roots of the

16:39

tree , pretend like that's

16:42

your hair bulb . Actually , actually

16:44

, more like if

16:46

you think of a green onion growing

16:49

in the ground , that's more like a hair bulb

16:51

. Okay , so it's like that little tiny bulb

16:53

under the dirt . You've got

16:55

a little tiny bulb under your skin and

16:58

that is your hair bulb . If

17:00

you've ever pulled out your hair and you see like

17:02

a little ball on the tip of it , that's what

17:04

I'm talking about , that little hair bulb . So

17:07

when DHT gets in there , it

17:09

binds to the receptors inside

17:12

of your hair follicle and it causes

17:14

that little hair ball to shrink . Yeah

17:17

, I know , imagine this . And

17:19

this results in you producing

17:21

thinner and weaker hair that's

17:24

prone to breakage . Again , you don't

17:26

want that DHT to get into

17:28

your hair follicle . And this is

17:30

all done on the molecular level . It's

17:32

not like you have DHT that you put on

17:34

your scalp . This is actually

17:37

happening inside your body . So

17:39

what you want to do is use a product that

17:42

inhibits this . You don't

17:44

want them playing , right . You don't want the testosterone

17:46

playing with

17:49

anybody else on the playground , right

17:51

? So you want a fence . If

17:53

the DHT gets in there , these shrunken

17:56

follicles also receive

17:58

a reduced supply of nutrients

18:00

and oxygen , which actually makes

18:02

it almost impossible to produce

18:04

strong , healthy hair . Every time

18:07

your hair goes through a cycle , it's

18:10

affected by DHT . After

18:12

every cycle , your follicles

18:14

may become so tiny and

18:16

inactive that they are unable to produce any

18:19

new hair at all , and that's what

18:21

leads to permanent hair loss . That's

18:23

called follicle atrophy

18:25

. That means that your hair follicle

18:28

will not produce a new hair and

18:31

once that reaches atrophy , you

18:33

can't grow any new hair . And

18:36

how can you tell that that happens ? Have

18:38

you ever seen a bald man and his scalp

18:40

is really shiny ? Or a um

18:43

, I'm using a man , because

18:45

that's what we tend to look

18:47

at , you know and they have a bald spot and it's real

18:50

shiny . That real shiny area

18:52

indicates that their hair follicles

18:54

have shut down , closed

18:57

up . However , if you catch

18:59

this before that happens

19:01

and you stop the DHT

19:04

from getting in there and reducing

19:06

your hair follicle and your hair bulb

19:09

, you can actually grow healthier

19:11

hair and it'll grow faster , not

19:15

faster . Longer meaning

19:18

longer periods of time . So if

19:20

you're genetically prone to lose your hair

19:22

, you can hold this off Maybe not forever , but maybe forever . If you're genetically

19:25

prone to lose your hair , you can hold this off Maybe not

19:27

forever , but maybe forever If you're using these products

19:29

all the time over time and you

19:31

catch it early enough . But even

19:33

if you are in this stage and you're noticing

19:36

that your hair is getting thinner , you can

19:38

maybe not reverse it . It depends

19:40

on what's happening . If it's genetic , you

19:42

can't reverse what's already happened , but

19:44

you can sure in the heck slow it down Now

19:47

. If it's caused by stress or nutrition

19:49

or medication or something like

19:51

that , you can definitely turn it around

19:53

by using the right products . But if

19:55

it is a genetic thing and

19:57

there's a lot out there I mean , I have thinning

19:59

hair in my family . I remember

20:01

my grandmother . You could

20:03

totally see right through her hair to her scalp

20:06

, you know , and she'd wear the curlers and everything

20:08

to bed and you could totally

20:11

see her scalp . And I know that I'm

20:13

prone to thin hair and my hair is thin

20:15

. However , I'm

20:17

going to slow it down as much as I can

20:19

right , hopefully , what this podcast

20:21

is going to give you information for you as well

20:23

. Let's talk about what can you

20:26

do about it . Now that you know that , about DHT

20:28

and you know the role that it plays in slowing

20:31

your hair growth and and in

20:33

the growing phases , let's

20:35

talk about what can we do about

20:37

it . Well , yes

20:39

, we're going to talk about like 10 different

20:42

products , but before we do that , I want to

20:44

talk to you about my favorite product

20:46

, and you guys know that

20:48

I love Euphora products . If

20:51

you don't know that , now you know . My

20:53

very favorite Euphora product is

20:56

their thickening regime . It has

20:58

not only helped me regrow my

21:00

hair , it's helped a lot of my

21:02

hair clients . It really really

21:04

has . Now they have five

21:06

products in their regime and

21:09

, yes , they all work synergetically

21:11

together to really

21:13

give your scalp a healthy environment

21:16

to grow hair . They all work

21:18

together . They were designed that way . However

21:21

, two of the products I really really

21:23

, totally , totally recommend but

21:26

if you want the full kit and caboodle , they

21:28

sell it as a kit as well I'm

21:30

gonna give you a link in

21:32

my show notes so if you want more information

21:35

on the thickening regime

21:37

, that you can go on there and

21:39

you can read all about the research

21:42

, all the awards it's won . You

21:44

can see the pictures of the before and afters

21:46

. You know they have a picture on there

21:48

that within 17 weeks the

21:51

hairline became thicker . Within nine

21:53

weeks , the hair became denser

21:56

on the scalp , and these

21:58

are actual clients who have used

22:00

their products . I do have pictures

22:03

of some of my clients too in the past , and

22:05

it's amazing . It's

22:14

amazing Now . Does it work overnight ? But it will work . It will work . The Euphora Thickening Regimen

22:16

uses the latest in botanical and clinical hair science to

22:18

promote healthy hair growth from the inside

22:21

out , without the use of pharmaceuticals

22:23

. This complete system creates the

22:25

ideal scalp environment for

22:28

healthy hair growth , while improving strength

22:30

, density and elasticity . And

22:32

yes , I read that right off their website

22:35

, but that's what it does . I mean , I was

22:37

going to say can I say this any

22:39

better ? No , I can't say that

22:41

any better . So what does it

22:43

have that other products don't have ? First

22:45

of all , it has a thing called pro-aminopeptide

22:49

complex , which is trademarked

22:51

by them , and then they use their allostim

22:54

cell therapy , which , oh

22:56

my gosh , if you don't know about allostim

22:59

cell therapy , it's when they take the cells

23:01

from the aloe vera plant and

23:03

, using stem

23:05

cell therapy , they can activate

23:08

it by like a thousand percent of

23:10

what aloe vera has in it

23:12

. Now , please don't

23:14

quote me on that , because I'm not a scientist and

23:16

I don't really like technical terms , but

23:19

go on their website . The links in

23:21

the show notes read about aloe stem

23:23

cell therapy . It is amazing

23:26

. They use it in some of their other products too

23:28

, because it's an aloe vera based

23:30

line and some other products they actually

23:32

use the stem cell therapy

23:34

in it . But anyway , let's get back to the thickening system

23:37

. So the pro-amino

23:39

peptide complex . They

23:41

work together with the allostim

23:43

cell therapy . They work above

23:46

and below the scalp surface to prevent

23:48

the creation of DHT

23:50

. That's what I said . They

23:53

prevent DHT

23:55

on your scalp and

23:58

they also anchor the bulb

24:00

of your hair your

24:03

hair bulb , remember to the scalp . It

24:05

actually makes your bulb a little bit fatter

24:08

, so then that way it doesn't

24:10

fall out as easy and

24:12

it reduces the fallout of the

24:15

shedding and it reduces

24:17

follicle atrophy , which is

24:19

incredible . And what I love about this

24:21

is it continues to work , even

24:24

if you don't use the product consistently

24:26

. You do need to use the product , but

24:29

some of these products that we're going to talk about only

24:31

work when you use them . Euphoros

24:34

is different than that . They also have

24:36

a nano-sum nutrient

24:38

technology that allows for

24:40

deeper penetration and continuous

24:43

release of powerful vitamins and antioxidants

24:45

for even more effective

24:47

performance of their products . Again

24:49

, I read that off their website . Those

24:51

are not my words , but it really is

24:54

Okay . So let's talk about the

24:56

pro-aminopeptide complex . This

24:58

helps create the optimal scalp environment

25:01

for healthy hair growth . So

25:03

what it does , it builds that fence

25:05

. Remember what we've talked about ? The fence on

25:07

the playground . You've got the reductase

25:10

on one side and the testosterone

25:12

on the other side . The

25:14

pro-aminopeptide is the fence

25:16

. Yeah , it inhibits the

25:19

, the playing of the five alpha reductase

25:21

from playing with the testosterone

25:23

and creating DHT . Yeah

25:26

. And then it also nourishes and protects

25:28

the scalp . So this helps prevent

25:30

that follicle atrophy we were talking about

25:32

. It anchors the bulb to the scalp and

25:34

it reduces sebum production

25:36

. So if you have oily hair

25:39

, this is actually wonderful to

25:41

use . So it helps reduce

25:43

the sebum on your scalp and also

25:45

helps with that appearance of that shiny scalp

25:48

and anybody who's got thinning

25:50

hair knows the

25:52

deal with a shiny scalp . You don't want

25:54

a shiny scalp . Now

25:56

let's talk about the aloe stem cells . It's

26:00

produced by activating the aloe plant's

26:02

natural self-healing mechanisms

26:04

, which then , in turn , offers

26:07

a concentrated dose of active ingredients

26:09

to the hair and the scalp , promoting

26:11

optimal health and growth . Remember

26:13

when I said like a thousand times more

26:15

active . That's what that allostim

26:19

cells , that therapy does . And

26:21

then the nanosome nutrients it

26:24

supplements the hair follicle with the

26:26

coenzyme Q10 , which

26:28

we need for healthy growth , and

26:31

it maintains the efficiency of the hair follicle

26:33

. And it also helps

26:35

energize the hair growth cells

26:38

by modifying mitochondrial

26:40

DNA damage induced by free

26:42

radicals . Again , I

26:44

read that , so

26:47

forgive me for mispronouncing

26:49

the words , but , as

26:52

you can see , there's a lot of science

26:54

behind this and they

26:56

have won awards for

26:58

the science behind this . And

27:00

again , euphora products they

27:03

have no paraben in them , no harsh

27:05

sulfates , no mineral oil

27:07

. You can be sure that

27:10

there is nothing in the products that

27:12

don't need to be in the products . There's no

27:14

excess water or anything like that . They're

27:17

not watered down . Okay , so

27:19

let's talk about the five products that are

27:21

in this system . Remember when

27:23

I told you two of them are my favorite . If

27:26

you use all five products , you're going to get them

27:28

the best benefits

27:30

from it , but if you can't afford all

27:32

five products for whatever reason

27:34

, or you don't want all five products , I'm

27:37

going to recommend the two that I recommend . Okay , so

27:40

first let's talk about the five products . First

27:43

, you have your cleansing treatment , and this is

27:45

basically a shampoo and it

27:47

creates optimal scalp

27:49

environment and what I like to say

27:51

is that a shampoo actually

27:53

gets in there and it gets into

27:55

your hair follicle and it shampoos

27:57

out the DHT . It really

27:59

doesn't , but I like to

28:02

imagine that's what it does . So

28:04

I love the cleansing treatment and

28:06

then the conditioning treatment . This transforms

28:08

fine limp hair into thicker looking

28:11

hair with shine and softness . Now

28:14

the thing about the conditioning treatment

28:16

it really is designed for your scalp

28:18

, for the environment of your

28:20

scalp , to grow healthier

28:22

hair . So if you have longer hair and you

28:24

really need a conditioning treatment , I

28:26

would probably put this conditioning treatment on

28:28

your scalp which I hardly ever

28:31

recommend , because I usually don't

28:33

recommend putting conditioner on your scalp , but this

28:35

doesn't have much conditioning to it and

28:38

then use a heavier conditioner on

28:41

your mid-shaft and ends if you've

28:43

got longer hair . But if you've got short hair say

28:45

, you're just getting over chemo

28:48

or radiation and your hair is just growing back totally

28:51

use this conditioning treatment for all your hair

28:53

. Then they have something

28:55

called a thickening serum and this

28:57

is a lightweight styling solution

28:59

that helps deliver

29:01

the appearance of thicker , fuller

29:04

hair . The thickening serum is not

29:06

actually . It doesn't help grow

29:08

your hair , it is

29:10

just a temporary product

29:14

to make it look like you have fuller

29:16

hair . It actually uses a tapioca

29:18

starch in there to

29:20

create a

29:22

denser looking hair

29:25

shaft kind of thing I'm

29:27

trying to think of the right words and

29:30

you can actually see this under a microscope . It

29:32

actually does make the hair appear

29:35

thicker , each individual strand . Now

29:37

let's move on to the scalp treatment . This

29:39

is the maximum dose of pro-amino

29:42

cell complex . This works above

29:45

and below the scalp to nourish , protect and

29:47

deliver essential nutrients for healthy

29:49

hair growth . And if

29:51

you haven't guessed yet , just by what

29:53

I just said , this is one

29:56

of those products that I would highly recommend

29:58

. And then they also have vitamins

30:01

, the nutritional support that you can actually

30:03

take , and it gives you the right balance of nutrients . I

30:05

don't know if you guessed it or not . What two products

30:07

, just by me describing them , I

30:10

would probably recommend ? It would be the cleansing

30:12

treatment , because to me that gets

30:14

the DHT off your scalp and out

30:16

of your hair , and of course

30:18

, the scalp treatment , because it has the maximum

30:20

dose of the pro-aminosal complex . Yeah

30:23

, those are the two I would recommend . There

30:25

is a link in the show notes that goes to

30:27

my website , denisekylitzcom

30:30

, and then it goes to the where

30:32

you can buy the Euphora products off

30:35

my website , and when you do that , I

30:38

actually get a little bit of commission from

30:40

that . So I just want to let you know that it

30:42

really helps me , it helps my channel and

30:45

I think you're going to love it . Also

30:47

, it tells me if you've bought any

30:49

of the products so I can reach out to you

30:51

and say , hey , how'd you like it ? Cause I

30:53

still love to be a hairstylist and recommend

30:56

products to people . A

31:01

hairstylist and recommend products to people . I've explained

31:03

the DHT . I hope I've explained my favorite products to you and I hope you could see

31:05

why I feel like those

31:07

are the best of the best . Okay , now

31:10

I'm going to talk about because I've done a little

31:12

bit more research from other resources

31:15

I'm going to . We're going to talk about

31:17

some supplements for thinning hair and

31:19

why you want to make sure that you

31:22

have these in your supplements , and then we're going to

31:24

talk about a few other products that you might

31:26

consider using for thinning hair

31:28

if you don't want to try euphora products

31:30

. Okay , okay , so the three supplements

31:33

that are often associated

31:36

with thinning hair vitamin D . This

31:38

plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy

31:41

hair and scalp . Studies

31:43

have shown that low levels of vitamin

31:45

D can contribute to female

31:47

pattern baldness . Nutrafol

31:50

, if you've heard of that , is a supplement

31:53

launched in 2016 , and

31:55

it's highly recommended by dermatologists

31:57

for hair growth . Ensuring

31:59

your diet includes adequate vitamin

32:02

D can promote hair growth , especially

32:04

if your hair loss is related to nutritional

32:06

deficiencies . Okay , there you have it . So

32:09

if you feel like you don't have enough

32:11

vitamin D in your diet , for

32:13

whatever reason , make sure that

32:15

you are getting a supplement of vitamin

32:18

D , and if you want a

32:20

supplement , that's just for

32:22

thinning hair . Nutrafol , which

32:24

I've tried before in the past and it is really

32:27

. I don't have anything bad

32:29

to say about it at all , and

32:32

you see the commercials for Nutrafol

32:34

on TV all the time . However

32:36

, it is a bit pricey , but I you know

32:39

this day and age what isn't pricey

32:41

. So , but they do have men's

32:43

, women's , after you have a baby

32:46

. They have different ones for different people , different

32:48

, different formulas . So take

32:50

a look Again . I'll leave a link

32:53

. The second supplement you

32:55

want for thinning hair biiotin

32:57

. You've probably heard that a thousand

32:59

times , right ? So why is biotin

33:01

so important ? First of all

33:03

, biotin is a water-soluble

33:06

B vitamin , also known

33:08

as vitamin B7 or

33:10

vitamin H , and it

33:12

is essential for hair growth

33:14

. It is widely discussed in

33:17

the beauty world for its effectiveness

33:19

in promoting longer , healthier and

33:22

fuller hair . Why

33:24

is that ? Because biotin increases

33:26

circulation to the scalp , aiding

33:28

in hair growth and preventing

33:30

thinning . It's a crucial component

33:33

of keratin , which is vital for

33:35

hair , skin and nails . Correcting

33:38

a biotin deficiency can help treat hair

33:40

loss and promote hair growth . If

33:43

you feel like you're not getting enough biotin

33:45

, they have biotin out there . You

33:48

can go to any pharmacy , any

33:50

drugstore . They have

33:52

it at every price point . So I'm

33:54

not going to tell you what to get . I

33:56

do know that Nutrafol and I do

33:58

know that Euphora their vitamins

34:01

both contain biotin and plenty

34:03

of it . So , all right , here's

34:05

a . Here's one that I have not heard

34:07

of before , and it's pumpkin seed oil . Right

34:10

, scientifically proven to stimulate hair

34:13

growth and aid those with thinning hair , pumpkin

34:15

seed oil is a valuable supplement ingredient

34:18

. It's known to be effective on its own

34:20

or as part of a supplement blend . In

34:22

comparison to other supplements like collagen

34:25

, elastin and coconut oil or

34:27

vitamin D , biotin , pumpkin

34:30

seed oil may offer more significant

34:32

benefits for hair health . Hmm

34:35

, see , I've never heard of that pumpkin

34:37

seed oil , so I don't really even know what

34:40

advice to give you on that . I read that in an article

34:43

and because of that

34:45

it kind of led me down this rabbit hole

34:47

of , hey , hair loss , thinning

34:50

hair . In conclusion to

34:52

the supplements , I want you to make sure

34:54

that it is crucial to consult

34:57

your doctor or a dermatologist to

34:59

find the best solution for your thinning

35:01

hair . Do not take my podcast as

35:03

medical advice , because I am not a

35:06

health professional at all . That

35:08

would be my twin sister . She's in the health field

35:10

, not me . I'm in the hair field

35:12

. Anyway , you

35:14

know a balanced diet will

35:16

take you far on this . But if you

35:18

feel like you need to supplement , definitely

35:21

. I know I take a supplement of vitamin

35:23

D and biotin . I also take collagen

35:25

drink , a collagen drink

35:28

which I love . I guess I

35:30

could put that link in there too . We're

35:32

going to move on to different shampoos , because

35:34

if euphoria is not your go-to

35:36

, let's talk about some that

35:38

you might see the

35:41

drugstore or you know

35:43

they're a little bit more widely available

35:45

. You might see them at Ulta or whatever , and

35:47

one might work for you better than the

35:49

other . So we're just going to talk about a few of

35:51

them . One

35:53

that you've probably heard of is

35:56

Nioxin . Okay , so

35:58

Nioxin shampoo and

36:00

it is known for its three-part

36:02

system , designed to promote thicker and

36:04

fuller hair . So what it does is it effectively

36:07

cleanses the scalp and the hair follicles

36:09

. I do believe that

36:11

it cleans it out and create and cleans

36:14

out the DHT as well , so

36:16

this creates the optimal environment

36:18

for healthy hair growth . I've

36:21

used Nioxin in the past . I don't have anything

36:23

bad to say about it . They have

36:25

different systems for different , different

36:28

hair types . Uh , if

36:30

it's color treated and different parts

36:32

of your thinning journey . So if you're just noticing hair loss , they have a system for

36:34

that . If you notice a lot of hair loss or if you're trying to grow back , they

36:37

have a system for that . If you notice

36:39

a lot of hair loss or if you're trying to grow

36:41

back , they have different systems . So I

36:43

would talk to your hairstylist about that . I

36:45

don't know if you can get Nioxin over

36:48

the counter . You

36:50

might be able to get it at , like Ulta you

36:52

might . I think I might've seen it there . Another

36:55

one which I'm really . I

36:57

would like to try this shampoo . I've not tried

36:59

this yet . It's called Regenapur

37:02

DR shampoo . This

37:04

features the ketoconazole

37:07

, which is an antifungal

37:10

agent Sorry , I can't pronounce

37:12

that very well and it's a DHT

37:14

blocking ingredient . I

37:17

did not know that . I'm sorry I'm

37:19

reading this right now , but I did not know that that ingredient was a DHT blocking ingredient . I did not know that . I'm sorry I'm reading this right now , but I did not know that

37:21

that ingredient was a DHT blocking ingredient

37:24

. Hmm , because

37:26

the reason why I'm I'm saying that

37:28

is because Nizorol

37:31

has that ingredient

37:33

in there . Nizorol , I've , I've , um

37:35

. I've recommended that to

37:37

a lot of people who have dermatitis

37:40

or some

37:42

form of psoriasis

37:44

on their scalp , because it

37:47

really does work and I use that a lot

37:49

too . I just didn't realize it was a DHT blocking

37:51

ingredient . So that's kind of cool . It

37:54

actually helps with dandruff and hair

37:56

thinning . So

38:03

if you can't find this Regenapur DR shampoo , you can probably find the Nizoral . You can get

38:05

that at Walmart , target , cvs , wherever you

38:07

buy your shampoo . All

38:09

right , another one is Ultrax

38:13

Labs Hair Surge

38:15

. It actually has caffeine

38:17

in this shampoo , so it helps to

38:20

stimulate hair follicles , promoting

38:22

healthy and thicker hair . Over time , it

38:25

boosts the blood circulation in your scalp

38:27

. Now I don't know how , about how I feel

38:30

about that ? Never used it , never

38:32

even heard of the shampoo . Caffeine

38:34

infused formula kind

38:36

of makes me think , uh

38:38

, I don't know . It's kind of like those lip plumpers

38:40

that has peppermint oil in them

38:42

. It's like come on , all you're doing is feeling

38:45

it . I don't know , though , I could be wrong . If

38:48

you want to try it , try it , but

38:50

it doesn't say anything that it blocks DHT

38:53

or anything . All

38:55

right , let me see Um here

38:57

, revita Hair Stimulating Shampoo

39:00

. I have a list of 10 . I'm not going to go through all

39:02

of them . I might put them in my show notes

39:04

in case you want them . But Revita Hair

39:06

Stimulating Shampoo this has the

39:08

ketocon . Why can't I say that ? Because

39:10

it's a long word and I am not scientific-y

39:12

. So ketoconazole

39:17

that's that same one that

39:19

that other one had . That's great for dandruff

39:21

, psoriasis , things like that has that

39:23

ingredient , it has caffeine

39:26

and it has other active ingredients , so

39:28

it promotes hair growth , reduces inflammation

39:30

and improves overall hair health . Makes

39:34

it a comprehensive solution for hair

39:36

thinning . I'll

39:39

tell you this might be one that I would like to try Revita hair

39:41

stimulating shampoo and

39:43

I will try to find the links to all these so I can

39:45

put this in the show notes . Okay , how

39:48

about Avalon

39:50

organics vitamin whoops

39:53

, sorry . Avalon

39:55

organics biotin B

39:57

complex thickening shampoo Whoa

39:59

, that is a mouthful . It's

40:02

emphasizing biotin

40:04

, so it has a lot of biotin

40:06

in it . Now , I don't know

40:09

how biotin can actually absorb

40:11

into your skin to help promote

40:14

hair growth , but I'm

40:17

sure the scientists behind this know a lot

40:19

more than I do . Here's one that

40:21

you might be familiar with Paul Mitchell

40:23

Tea Tree Scalp Care Anti-Thinning

40:25

Root Lift Foam . Unlike

40:28

traditional shampoos , this foam visually

40:30

boosts hair thickness by adding volume and

40:32

lift at the roots , enriched with

40:35

tea tree oil for a healthy scalp . Huh

40:38

, I don't know if that's a shampoo or not

40:40

. I think that's a . It sounds like

40:42

it's a mousse , but I

40:44

could be wrong because I don't use Paul Mitchell products

40:47

, but it's very popular and

40:49

it's easy to find . Here's my

40:51

last one I'm going to go share

40:54

with you the Kerastase Densifique

40:57

, densifique , bain

40:59

Densité shampoo . Why do

41:01

people try to get so fancy with their

41:03

names of their shampoos ? It's

41:06

a Kerastase shampoo

41:08

and it's crafted for thinning hair . It

41:10

adds density and body to the hair , plumping

41:12

and strengthening individual hair fibers for

41:14

visibly thicker and fuller looking

41:17

locks . That's interesting

41:19

. Might give that a try as

41:21

well . Anyway

41:28

, that's a few shampoos . I do have a list of 10 . I will put

41:30

them in my show notes . I just didn't want to go bore you to death with descriptions

41:32

of shampoo , right . But when you are selecting

41:34

a shampoo for thinning hair , consider

41:37

the key factors like the

41:39

ingredients . If they

41:41

have a DHT blocker which I would

41:43

highly recommend you get one with

41:45

a DHT blocker see

41:47

if they have some kind of scalp circulation

41:49

stimulation . Make sure they're sulfate

41:51

free . Make sure they have some moisture

41:54

to them . Make sure the pH

41:56

balance is there . Make

41:59

sure they have clinical studies that back all

42:01

this up . Look at the user reviews

42:03

. Make sure that it doesn't have any harmful

42:06

additives . Make sure

42:08

it's good for your hair type so

42:11

you don't want to use something that's designed

42:13

for really , really thick , dry hair If

42:15

you've got fine , fine , fragile

42:17

hair right . And remember that it takes

42:19

consistency and patience

42:21

With any of these

42:23

I would give it a good three months

42:26

before you see any results

42:28

With any of them , even

42:30

the Euphora products . Three months , that's 90

42:32

days . I would take a before

42:34

picture before you start using them

42:37

and then maybe every 30

42:39

days take another picture just

42:41

to remind yourself and

42:43

just to see if it's working . But

42:45

I would give it at least three months and

42:48

remember , always consult

42:50

with your healthcare professional or dermatologist

42:53

for personalized advice tailored

42:56

to your specific hair care

42:58

needs . Do not take

43:00

my podcast recommendations

43:03

as medical

43:05

information . I am not in

43:07

the medical field . All I know

43:10

is I research products , I

43:12

use products , I love hair

43:14

and I love talking about

43:16

hair , and I do know that thinning hair

43:19

is a concern , and especially

43:22

if you're my age or older or getting

43:24

to be my age , which I'm 56

43:26

. So if you're getting up there , if you've

43:28

hit menopause , hormones are affecting you , then

43:31

I'm pretty sure that thinning hair is probably

43:34

affecting you as well , and if

43:36

it's not , you might have clients . If you're

43:38

a stylist , you might have clients that have thinning hair

43:40

and you want to give them some advice . So

43:42

hopefully , this conversation has

43:45

given you something to think about

43:47

. If you need more information

43:49

, reach out . I can guide you

43:52

. I think I'm going to put all this

43:54

information in a PDF

43:56

on my website so it could be easily downloaded

43:58

, because it's a lot . It's a lot

44:01

. Anyway , I hope you

44:03

44:05
