It is not "just hair."  
It is your identity.  
It is your confidence.  
It's the reflection in the mirror that can either uplift you or quietly bring you down.

Did you know that hair loss is not necessarily a part of aging? Many young people experience baldness or thinning hair for various reasons, such as chronic stress, mineral deficiencies, and thyroid issues. 

In a previous posts, I shared my personal experience with hair loss that started after I had COVID-19. To keep it brief, my blood tests revealed a critical marker that many conventional doctors often overlook: ferritin levels, which indicate whether your cells are receiving enough iron to function properly.

I learned that low ferritin levels can lead to a range of troubling symptoms, including extreme fatigue, migraines, light-headedness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and hair loss. If you experience any of these symptoms, I encourage you to ask your physician to include this vital blood marker test during your annual physical.

For those over 50 years old, the target ferritin level should be at least 40. Additionally, be aware that very high ferritin levels can indicate inflammation, which is also a significant concern.

Today I'm excited to share an update: my hair has returned to normal! Yay!
What exactly helped me restore my hair completely? It was not just "one thing".
Incorporating high-quality supplements into your diet, such as Iron Blood Builder, Vitamin B12, and Zinc, along with specific foods like chicken liver, figs, and raisins, can help accelerate the process. I also want to highlight a mineral that can be beneficial for weak and brittle hair: orthosilicic acid, a form of silica. Silica helps protect hair strands from breakage and enhances their elasticity. Additionally, it encourages the body to deliver more minerals to the hair, which strengthens and nourishes it.
Although it may take some time, you will see positive results.

As I mentioned earlier, topical hair treatments significantly helped speed up my healing process. The product that I relied on was the Hair Elixir "Shine Baby Shine," which effectively restored and reversed hair damage. This treatment contains a carefully selected blend of plant oils known for nourishing the scalp and promoting healthy hair growth.

The ingredients include hemp oil, kukui nut oil, castor seed oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, as well as rosemary, tea tree oil, and lavender. I formulated this luxurious leave-in treatment using unrefined organic oils that provide intense hydration from roots to ends.

Regular treatments help prevent the buildup of shampoo residue while adding volume and softness. Before washing your hair, please apply Hair Elixir to your scalp and gently massage it for several minutes to stimulate blood flow to your hair follicles. Let Hair Elixir work its magic for 1 to 2 hours or longer for a more effective treatment. 

 

Do you worry about oily residue after washing your hair? Here's a solution: apply shampoo to dry hair before your shower. Let it break down the oils for 5-6 minutes for an easy wash. Make sure to wash your hair twice. It also helps to rinse with 2 Tbsp. of Apple Cider vinegar diluted in a quart of water. Maintaining a healthy scalp creates an optimal foundation for your hair to flourish and thrive.

Here is another effective solution for stimulating hair growth: red and near-infrared light therapy (RLT).

This therapy has been extensively researched, with over 6,100 medical studies validating its effectiveness as an anti-aging tool. It offers numerous benefits for facial skin, hair, and overall body health, especially in repairing damage caused by UV rays by mending cellular and DNA damage.

You don't need to schedule an appointment with a therapist; you can enjoy RLT sessions at home, just like I do. Be sure to research RLT devices to learn more about this incredible tool. I use mine at least twice a week to strengthen my immune system, rejuvenate my skin, and stimulate hair growth.
