When I went plant based I lost about 25% of my hair! To get it back I increased my protein intake, use Jamacian Black Castor Oil on my roots and take Hair Fuel gummies.

Hey y'all, i'm back, you all know, i'm not bringing anything to my channel unless i absolutely love it and i am super excited to share so i'm going into my 10th month using hair fuel and, as you know, from past videos, i've suffered some hair drama and I'Ve been doing everything i can to get it back healthy and strong. Now, if you're new to my channel or need a recap, i lost about 25 of my hair about 8 months ago due to a change of diet, and i soon realized that the vitamins and minerals that were in most of the foods i gave up really took A toll on my hair and i had to figure out how to get these nutrients back into my system. My new way of eating got me down 100 pounds, but my hair was a different story. My diet is super strict and healthy, but the abrupt change caused. The dramatic plummet in my levels of vitamins nutrients and protein, which caused my hair, excessive, shedding and weakness, never apply heat to your hair, whether it's in the form of a blow dryer flat iron. Anything unless you start with a good heat protectant. So although i've tried many products topically, i soon learned that the key to growing my hair was targeting the root causes from within. I figured this out because my hair didn't start acting up until i change my diet on top of nutrition. You also have to pay close attention to other elements that can cause hair issues, like stress hormones and over styling, make sure to use a wide tooth comb while you're detangling, especially if you just came out of braids like i did, because you just want to be Super gentle, especially with the comb out process, because your hair is weakest while it's wet now before i go in with the brush, i'm just doing the tension method by pulling the hair out and just kind of stretching it to help with this blow dryer process, because When you wear braids or protective styles, your hair tends to be a lot more tangled than usual, so i'm just gon na go in and i'm gon na pull it out and stretch it. And then i'm gon na go in with the brush. Look at the difference between between the hair, that's blown out and the hair that is not our hair is just so amazing, all the things that it can do. It might not look like it, but i'm trying to be as gentle as possible and i'm going in again same thing. Tension method, just pull your hair and stretch it just to help get those tangles out and make it easier when you go in with that brush. While blow drying with the brush, if you get to any kinks or anything that slows the flow of their brush down, you just want to take the brush out and start over. Sometimes you may even have to go in and re-detangle, but don't rip through the hair, because that breakage will show you just want to save every strand that you possibly can. Another tip is just to always try to blow the air of the blow dryer in the direction that the hair is glowing, because you want to make sure that you are sealing that cuticle. If you blow it all around, then the hair will be extra frizzy and you just want to make sure that your hair is coming out as smooth as possible, especially if you are doing a so press after this. So you just want to make sure that you're blowing downward and getting the hair nice and smooth, as you see, my hair, has grown significantly since the last time i cut it by making sure i took care of my hair from the inside out. Here is a comparison to my last video on how to trim your hair at home. When i had to do a good cut about seven months ago, i feel like it has grown a lot in seven months, but because of the strong hair growing from my roots, i want to meet my healthiest hair in the middle by getting the weaker hair off By chopping it again, yes, that's right, i'm going to go in and i'm going to get these ends off all over again, you see the back, it's a little hole in the middle, but i think that has a lot to do with me not blow drying. That piece, as straight as i could have it's hard to get to the back, but it's all good, i'm just going to go in now and i'm just going to take an inch or two off again because i want my hair super duper. Heavy and, like i said, the hair, that's growing in from the roots is so full and so strong that the ends are just looking crazy again, so i'm taking all of that off is no need of saving it, because it's health over length period. Now one of the ingredients hair fuel has is vitamin b12, which promotes healthy hair growth by assisting in the production of oxygen, rich red blood cells which feeds the hair follicles. It also has vitamin c. Protein was one of the things that i was missing the most well. Vitamin c creates protein better known as collagen. It reduces hair loss and improves hair growth, and a vitamin c deficiency can also result in dry, hair and more split ends, and you know we can't head it now. Vitamin d is one that i need the most because it aids in the creation of new hair follicles hair follicles are the scalp's pores, where new hair grows from new follicles help hair maintain its thickness. Now. This is perfect for me because my hair was shedding more from the roots than breaking along. The shaft next is biotin, which is super popular in the hair care community, also known as vitamin b7. It stimulates keratin, which is your hair natural protein, and you know we talk a lot about that. It'S your hair's natural protein production and it can increase your follicle growth rate as well. Next is zinc. Zinc plays an important role in hair tissue growth and repair. It also helps keep the oil glands around the follicles working properly, so here i'm just taking the last of these thin ends off see how much better that looks. Looks like i'm concentrating huh, see that here we go like i like when my ends are like. I don't really know what that means, but you know exactly what i mean and i'm just going to go in and i'm just going to take a little more of my bangs off. I like it to be layered, and you know it's just not important to keep that um. Some people love when the front of their hair is the same length as the back me. I don't mind the little layer because i feel like it gives a good face frame. I'M gon na make sure i put a link below so that you can get you some hair fuel. If you want some whatever you do just stay consistent, i always have issues with not sticking to things long, but healthy hair is one of my many musts and my results have been so great, so i'ma stick beside him see how heavy my hair is looking. I know i said that already but seriously i love when it's doing that you see how full it is, and today i'm not going to put any heat or anything on it. I'M just going to go right into another protective style, so i just had to get those ends off and i'm loving it. It'S okay, health over length health over length. Thanks for watching and i'll, see you next time.

Sojourner: I used to be a registered nurse at a health and diet clinic. The key to not losing alot of hair on a rapid weight loss diet (for example low carb/ lowcalorie) was omega 3-6-9...it looks kinda like a horse pill. One a day keeps the hair on your head :) Also a b12 supplement will help as well. Great job!
GeminII*: My favorite stylist . Congratulations on your weight loss. I’m confident your hair is going to flourish, as you will definitely reap what you’ve sown into others.
Tennille Bowens: You've taught me so much in the last 18 months I've been following you. I did a blowout, silk press, and I did a good trim all by following your tutorials. My hair looks amazing! Thank you so much for teaching me how to care for my hair at home. I'm disabled, and I can't really tolerate going to the shop too often. The moving from station to station, lying back for washing, etc., is almost impossible for me. So I just take my time and do it myself at home. My hair's really growing and I'm retaining length and thickness at the ends. You rock! Congrats on the weight loss and the new ponytails! The visual for it was awesome!
Ms Ms: I hadn't realised you lost so much weight, well done. Just a warning about biotin, if you have certain medical conditions, it can mask them so please be careful.
Dr. Simple Beauty 300: Girl I went vegan for 9 months. My hair was falling OUT and I was like “hell naw!” Started eating fish and the shedding stopped lol.
Angel Cross: Good day! I lost a little over 100 pounds myself.. and almost half of my hair went with the excess weight. It did grow back, though ❤️❤️
Fiesty One: Congratulations on the weight loss. I’ve lost 100 pounds and counting and I know it’s not easy. No doctor, nurse, and/or a gym has helped me. Your hair looks wonderful.
Crazy Cat Lady: I lost about 3 inches of hair this year also but due to stress and depression but I'm glad to say that I've been consistently doing therapy and my mental health and hair health have improved greatly ✨ I never wanna go back to that dark place again!
Ruby Chew: Congratulations on losing 100 pounds. It shows that you were very determined to be at a healthy weight.

Kristina Lewis: Congratulations on your weight loss When I lost 100 pounds my hair began to fall out too. I think it’s just because your body metabolically has to reset itself. I took vitamins and my hair grew back but it took time. Your lovely mane will too
Tanya S: Congratulations on your weight loss journey and thank you for your transparency.

N.K. S: A while back I lost a lot of weight. Then I was diagnosed with cancer and due to that I went through early menopause. All of that on top of stress and the natural course of aging did a real number on my hair. I swear by biotin and have been taking it daily for quite a while. My hair is not as lush as it was in my youth but it's long(ish) and healthy. PS...You are beautiful 100+ or 100- ! Best wishes!

I didn't start seeing the effects of the diet on my hair until about 6 months later or so. Once I noticed it I started back protective styling, applying JBCO, taking my vitamins, and cutting/trimming off the thin ends as my hair grew in thicker. I'm still at the trimming/cutting stage, but I am happy my hair is growing back in fuller! All the best on your healthy hair and lifestyle journey!
