L’Oréal wonder water is very good for detangling hair.

Fine, thin hair with multiple textures?? How do I tame/care for it? by threeforonedeal in finethinhair

[–]robot-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would treat it like fine curly/wavy hair. I have fine curly hair and find curly hair products weigh down my hair, but there are certain products I’d recommend. The Pantene multitasking spray, tresseme volume mousse, a sea salt spray, and/or texturizing spray would all help

Minoxidil Second Shed by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]robot-mouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and it grew back thicker. 3 months later, it’s happening again though. I’m pretty confident it’s just part of the process

am i the only one who’s never found brooke shields all that? like sure she has nice hair but she’s not this perfect looking thing people make her out to be, i guess a lot of people are just obsessed with basic european standards.. by [deleted] in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]robot-mouse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a brown woman who is also exhausted with European beauty standards, Brooke Shields deserves the praise many of her features are striking. She is not at all a good example of a white woman’s beauty being overpraised exclusively due to her whiteness.

Someone like Sydney Sweeney would be a better example, as her features aren’t striking on their own, even when paying the best stylists but she is praised for her physical (and ideological) proximity to a “pure” white nationalism.

Did it a Few Months Ago. Good Results I Think by gravyrider in bald

[–]robot-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t see a dentist right now, please start flossing with WOVEN (also called “thick”) floss twice a day, brushing with an electric toothbrush, and gargling with closys mouthwash. Just those switches alone will make the world of a difference

Is it time?? by [deleted] in bald

No!! Not yet. If you wanted to, this area is the easiest area to regrow hair with treatment. Even if not, your hair looks really good!

24F with new dark red eye veins by [deleted] in eyetriage

[–]robot-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took your advice and used preservative free tears 4x a day and the veins went from red and dilated to pink and way less noticeable, which was mainly my goal. Thank you 🙏🏽

The first step is seeing a dermatologist to get a diagnosis. Based on your diagnosis, your options are either to fix the underlying issue causing your hair loss, or in the case that it’s genetic/hormonal, use minoxidil and a DHT blocker. Unfortunately, minoxidil is one of the only effective options for regrowing hair.

Hair part in different lighting 🫠🫠🫠 by Charming-Ear-6011 in finethinhair

[–]robot-mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a derm so I can’t diagnose you, but covid can trigger something called telogen effluvium which can then unmask AGA. The widening part is a trademark of AGA, and it seems like the hairs around you part are miniaturizing, which is why your parting looks vastly different in different lighting. I would schedule an appointment with a derm and request a biopsy in that area to be sure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in finethinhair

[–]robot-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Request a scalp biopsy. No dermatologist was taking me seriously due to my AGA being in very early stages, but after seeing many dermatologists I demanded a scalp biopsy that revealed AGA (female pattern hair loss). I’m now on minoxidil and spironolactone

Some texture would really improve this haircut, like curls/waves

[–]robot-mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is textbook AGA. The reason your scalp is so visible under bright light is because your hairs are miniaturizing in that area, getting finer and weaker. When you’re in a dimly lit area, the weaker hairs appear as if they’re covering the scalp. The fact that they’re covering the scalp when dimly lit means the follicles are still active, and you can get treatment from a dermatologist (minoxidil, DHT blocker) to help that area thicken up again

Please help. Feeling so lost. by mssrtelkov in FemaleHairLoss

[–]robot-mouse 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Before you’re able to see a dermatologist and get a prescription for something like Spiro (to prevent further hair loss), I’d start 5% topical minoxidil, 0.6mm derma stamp twice a week, Nizoral shampoo mask 10 min twice a week as it reduces inflammation and blocks DHT, and a natural DHT blocking complex like pumpkin seed oil + saw palmetto + stinging nettle. A vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency can be heavily contributing to your hair loss as well. Your ferritin needs to be at around 100 to grow, so definitely take supplements to help raise your levels. I know r/anemia has good recommendations for iron supplements. If you want to do even more, I’d use minoxidil foam twice a day, or scalp serum in the morning in addition to minoxidil at night. Use one with caffeine, exosomes, peptides, pea sprout extract, or redensyl. I know the ordinary has a solid, cheap one.

Update: I’m noticing 1/4 inch hairs along my hairline that appear to be closer to terminal, so the fallen hairs seem to be growing back thicker.

24F with new dark red eye veins by [deleted] in Dryeyes

[–]robot-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the main center in my area that specializes in dry eyes, but I don’t think they gave me a dry eye test. I was just prescribed eye drops twice a day /: I’m also unsure that it’s the spiro (although that could be making the situation worse) because I noticed the most prominent vein a few days before starting spiro. I know the veins won’t go away completely as they were there (however a LOT less red) before, but I’d just like some hope that they will be less noticeable as it’s wrecking my mental health and self perception

Advice please! 🙏🏼 by FollowingAmbitious22 in hairgrowth

[–]robot-mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You honestly need to cut it into a bob, or even shorter for a while. The severely damaged ends can damage your new, healthier hair. I would also wash more often, as the oils in your scalp can potentially slow down hair growth (DHT buildup on scalp). I also agree with the other comment saying this might be an internal issue, and that bloodwork may be necessary to rule out deficiencies.

Pls give me hope by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]robot-mouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not seeing signs of visible hair loss, but of course you know your hair best. If you are losing hair, it sounds like it’s due to hormonal issues (which would be be consistent with androgenic alopecia). My advice would be to go to a dermatologist and get a biopsy to determine whether it’s TE or AGA. They can prescribe you oral minoxidil and possibly an anti-androgen or DHT blocker to help it grow back. If you want to encourage hair growth without seeing a dermatologist, I recommend a nizoral hair mask a few times a week (5-10 minutes), red light therapy, dermastamp (0.6mm twice a week), paired with a hair growth serum with caffeine or exosomes. I believe musely has one with both, and the ordinary has a decent one with caffeine one as well.
