When my husband, my mom and my best frend all died in the same time period, I lost 3/4 my hair. It started falling out in clumps plus breaking everywhere. Always had had tons of hair and no issues before his death. Having been with him since we were kids, widowed in my 40s, having 5 kids, stress and mental state was out of control. I was a zombie barely able to function, but caring for a dying parent with 5 grieving kids. I was also recovering from a miscarriage and was the one who found my husband's body, with C-PTSD diagnosis. My doctors think just stress/grief. Now taking vitamin D, biotin, other supplements, using Nioxin, Monodil, Olaplex....finally starting to slowly come back.

This video is so useful! 2 years ago I had hair loss from being iron deficient, after taking supplements things improved tremendously. This year, I suddenly had hair loss again and learned that I lack in vitamin D and am not anymore iron deficient. Regular blood work is truly important, your body changes regularly.

I miss seeing you mom so much! I was watching an older video of yours. seeing her be so enthusiastic and really being a part of your channel made me feel so happy. Please tell her a lot of us miss her and wish her well!

My hair began thinning significantly following an extremely stressful time in my life. Consequently, I researched the internet and opted to experiment with a hair oil called litttleextra coocoonion and neem wood comb. It really truly worked. At present, my hair is lengthy, dense, black hair that has reached my waist and trimmed on three occasions since I started. Simple and good. Additionally, just as effective is massaging the scalp - it encourages the growth. You only must do this weekly. Before long, you'll see short hairs starting to grow.

I’ve been watching your channel a lot, buying spf, buying upf clothing. My husband watches with me sometimes and sees me buying sun protection stuff and he wanted to look at upf clothing when we were in the store the other day. It’s working!! Thanks Dr Dray!

Dray and the D stands for the vitamin this week a tremendous educator and has a wonderful way in going about it. A person who goes through the cost and stress of educating themselves to acquire credentials for occupational use then turns around and gives so many the education for free is such a beautiful thing to see. God bless you! 🌸

Just before I found out I had Covid I also discovered I had severe anemia. It was a perfect storm. I started losing my hair in handfuls. Luckily, I always had super thick hair, so it just thinned to “normal” hair levels. But now 8 months later, the whole top of my head is covered in short new growth. I’m so relieved. I thought it was thinning because I was getting older, but it’s coming back and now I know the cause. My vitamin D levels are where they should be and my iron has maintained a good, healthy level. Whew!

Happy Wednesday! I went through Adrenal Insufficiency, Hypothyroidism, multiple surgeries, and extremely low Iron, Vitamin D and B and was shedding like crazy. I was scared. Since that time I've gotten my adrenal glands working again, I'm on 50000 iu Vitamin D weekly, Biotin, and overall better health and the shedding has stopped. Thank goodness. I have lots of new hair growth and it's really thickened up again. Great video!

Yes !!! Thank you for mentioning all the other reasons for hair loss. I was experiencing massive hair loss a year ago and when my doctor ran some test it was based on hyperthyroidism. Since I have started controlling it. The loss of hair has decreased! Your videos are always filled with so much information and tips that help me become more wiser in what is the best for my sensitive rosacea skin. Now my skincare is simple and I know what to avoid.

Big thank you Dr Dray!

[marylawman]

I didn't realize being deficient in vitamin D could affect the hair. Thaks, Dr Dray. I'm always learning from you. Happy Wednesday! Hope you have a cozy evening. 💖

[jamiwomack]

After I survived Covid my hair fell out so bad for about 2 months. Thankfully it finally stopped and now back to a normal daily loss. Great information as always. Please till your mom how much I miss seeing her on your channel. Hope she is doing well and have her in my prayers always.

I've been through a very stressful time since the pandemic started (loss of loved ones, loss of relationships, work burnout, sickness and a car accident), and my hair has thinned so much... I think I now probably have less than half of what I used to have. I am taking some supplements, but will also go and see a dermatologist since I have lots of issues to take care of. Thank you Dr. Dray for all the useful information!

[Akshayaa]

Honestly loss is directly connected to stress. I lose a bunch when I'm stressed. Happy Wednesday dr dray ! ❤️

Inside out! Eating healthy (NO crappy oils, good healthy oils like Olive or Avocado)increasing omega 3’s Has made a huge difference!

[sarahAnn]

Oh my goodness, I'm so happy to see this! I've been struggling with hair loss. :(

As a person with a former career in health insurance (yuck, I know), often health insurance will not cover testing for vitamin D when lab work is done. The insurance company will want to see that there is a medical reason that the doctor is asking for testing for vitamin D. People need to be prepared to pay out-of-pocket for that blood work, or be prepared for fighting the insurance claim, once it has been processed. Of course, it might depends on what kind of insurance coverage you have. Even if your health insurance states, for example, that ALL lab work done in the office is covered under your plan, the insurance company still determines what part of the labs are covered. And even if your doctor requested the test. It's ridiculous.

My husband just grabbed my CeraVe light spf lotion and took it to work with him because of you lol!! ❤️ He listens to me watch your vids daily and realized he should probably be wearing something while he works outside. Obviously a higher spf would be better, but this is a huge step!! THANK YOU! 🙌🏼

“What you need is a diagnosis.” Excellent comment! Too many times supplements are thrown at an issue without knowing what they need.

[VashtiWood]

I'd love to see you do a video, or collary video to this one, about insufficient calorific intake (particularly chronic insufficient calorific intake due to anaorexia and/or blumia) and hairloss! It's a topic I can honestly say i've NEVER heard anyone on youtube discuss...

2020 was too hard on my stress and I started shedding more than normal, my skin also started looking way more dull and dry. Went to the dermatologist, he prescribed me a mild cleanser and moisturizer, also supplements, mainly Vitamin D. I'm doing better than before.
