00:01:05
price tag or the worry of when it might
00:01:07
disappear again what can we do for hair
00:01:09
loss how can we grow new hair well first
00:01:13
of all we have to put the detective hat
00:01:15
on and find out why there is hair loss
00:01:19
so what would be some of the most common
00:01:21
causes of hair
00:01:22
loss well one friend of
00:01:25
mine she always dyed her hair
00:01:30
her hair she was showing gray hair from
00:01:33
a very early age and so from about the
00:01:35
age of uh 30 she began to dye her hair
00:01:39
now you can get a hair
00:01:42
dye made of henna and henna is a plant
00:01:46
that can dye your hair and that is not
00:01:48
toxic but my friend did not use that one
00:01:52
she used a chemical hair dye and little
00:01:55
by little it was killing off her her
00:01:58
follicles where the hair grows so it can
00:02:02
be chemicals on the hair you might think
00:02:05
it's just hair dye what's so bad about
00:02:06
that but there's a darker side to this
00:02:08
story that Barbara knows all too well
00:02:11
before you reach for that innocent
00:02:12
looking box of hair dye let me tell you
00:02:14
what's happening it's not just about
00:02:17
adding a splash of color these dyes are
00:02:19
packed with powerful chemicals ammonia
00:02:23
peroxide and
00:02:25
paraphenylenediamine
00:02:26
PPD these aren't just harmless
00:02:29
ingredients they don't simply coat your
00:02:31
hair instead they dig deep penetrating
00:02:33
through the outer layers and altering
00:02:35
the very core of each Strand and once
00:02:38
these chemicals are inside who knows
00:02:40
what they could be doing and let me tell
00:02:43
you this is where the real trouble
00:02:44
begins when you change your hair color
00:02:47
those harsh chemicals don't just alter
00:02:49
the shade they strip away the protective
00:02:52
layer that Shields your hair without
00:02:54
this invisible armor your hair is left
00:02:56
exposed fragile and vulnerable to unseen
00:02:59
threats
00:03:00
what seems like a harmless
00:03:02
transformation can spiral into something
00:03:04
much worse the more you dye your hair
00:03:06
the drier it becomes turning brittle
00:03:09
like dry Twigs ready to snap at any
00:03:11
moment each application of dye deepens
00:03:13
the damage like a slow invisible poison
00:03:16
your hair starts to split at the ends
00:03:18
weakening from the inside out as if
00:03:21
something sinister is eroding its
00:03:22
strength even brushing your hair becomes
00:03:25
a tense gamble with strands breaking off
00:03:27
too quickly for example take a look at
00:03:30
this video it's not just your hair that
00:03:33
bears the brunt of the damage your scalp
00:03:35
suffers quietly too what starts as a
00:03:38
mild itch or irritation can slowly
00:03:41
escalate like a whisper of discomfort
00:03:43
that grows louder over time inflammation
00:03:46
begins to take hold your once healthy
00:03:48
scalp will start to falter the hair
00:03:50
follicles those tiny unseen keepers of
00:03:53
your hair's strength weaken and as they
00:03:56
silently give way so too does your hair
00:04:00
thinning out or Vanishing leaving behind
00:04:02
a troubling reminder of what was once
00:04:04
there this isn't just about changing
00:04:07
your hair color it's about understanding
00:04:09
the long-term effects on your hair's
00:04:11
health so remember Barbara's advice the
00:04:14
next time you think about reaching for
00:04:16
that hair dye it might seem like a quick
00:04:18
and easy way to switch things up and
00:04:20
look stylish but it could be causing
00:04:22
more harm than you realize if you have
00:04:24
been styling your hair for years it may
00:04:26
surprise you when you notice something
00:04:28
unusual your hair is thinning strands
00:04:32
are falling out more frequently raising
00:04:34
questions the issue persists despite
00:04:37
maintaining a healthy hair care routine
00:04:39
free from harsh chemicals and extreme
00:04:42
treatments what could be responsible for
00:04:44
this unexpected change could an
00:04:47
underlying Factor unnoticed yet
00:04:50
impactful affect your
00:04:53
hair let us turn to Barbara for her
00:04:55
insights as she may hold the key to
00:04:57
understanding this situation
00:05:00
so it can be chemicals on the hair
00:05:03
another friend of mine did not like her
00:05:06
very curly hair and so all her life from
00:05:08
probably about her late teens right up
00:05:11
until her 50s she straightened her hair
00:05:15
now the solutions that they use to
00:05:17
straighten the hair or for people with
00:05:20
straight hair that want curly hair it is
00:05:22
a very toxic chemical so what happens is
00:05:27
if a person wants to straighten their
00:05:28
hair they
00:05:30
would what the hairdresser does is pull
00:05:33
the hair over great big rods like that
00:05:37
and so the the curly hair that's this
00:05:40
curly of course gets pulled over them
00:05:43
and that straightens it but if a
00:05:45
person's got straight hair and they want
00:05:47
curly hair well the rods are that big
00:05:50
and they stretch the hair around and
00:05:52
around and around so whether it's to
00:05:55
straighten the hair or whether it's to
00:05:57
curl the hair they put this toxic
00:06:00
Solution on it's a strong chemical and
00:06:02
what it does is it breaks all the little
00:06:05
joins in the hair because hair has all
00:06:09
these little joints like this so what it
00:06:12
does is it breaks the joints breaks the
00:06:15
joints and then it's molded of course
00:06:17
around either there for the curl or
00:06:20
there for the straight and
00:06:22
then when all of those little bonds are
00:06:25
broken and it's been stretched into a
00:06:27
certain shape they off that chemical and
00:06:31
then they put another chemical on to set
00:06:34
it so to set the bonds together and then
00:06:37
that sets the hair structure as straight
00:06:40
or as curly so basically that's how the
00:06:44
hair is permed when I first left school
00:06:47
at the age of 16 I did I was a
00:06:49
hairdresser for about four years and we
00:06:51
used to do a lot of perms and that's how
00:06:54
they perm hair whether it be straight or
00:06:56
whether it be curly but when those
00:06:58
chemicals are constantly going on the
00:07:00
hair little by little they kill the hair
00:07:03
follicles Barbara pointed out that the
00:07:05
desire for perfect hair can be strong
00:07:08
but the risks are real specific
00:07:10
treatments can harm your hair follicles
00:07:13
causing long-term damage before making
00:07:16
any significant changes to your hair
00:07:18
take a moment to think it over consider
00:07:21
the potential risks carefully remember
00:07:23
Barbara's warning and ask yourself is it
00:07:26
worth
00:07:27
it often the answer is no no chemicals
00:07:30
are constantly going on the hair little
00:07:33
by little they kill the hair
00:07:36
follicles I have also seen in some areas
00:07:39
where people braid their hair really
00:07:41
really tightly you'll often see that
00:07:42
they've got hair loss around here where
00:07:45
you've got that weight you've got that
00:07:46
constant weight on the on the hair which
00:07:49
can really just keep pulling the hair
00:07:51
out and then the then the follicles are
00:07:54
damaged so no matter how it happens
00:07:59
we must stop what is causing the damage
00:08:02
that's the first one if you don't turn
00:08:04
the tap off you're still mopping up in
00:08:05
the other Corner imagine your hair is a
00:08:08
composition with each strand playing a
00:08:11
particular role what happens when you
00:08:14
put too much stress on one part of that
00:08:16
structure like overtightening a screw
00:08:19
everything may seem fine initially but
00:08:21
the constant pressure can weaken the
00:08:23
structure over time leading to damage
00:08:26
similarly too much stress on the scalp
00:08:28
can weaken the Roots causing strands to
00:08:31
fall out although thick hairstyles can
00:08:34
be appealing they can also be hard on
00:08:36
your hair maintain your hair well and it
00:08:39
will stay strong and healthy the
00:08:41
following probable reason for hair loss
00:08:43
could be hormonal imbalance is there
00:08:45
even a thing like that which can cause
00:08:47
hair loss yes hormonal imbalance can
00:08:50
directly or indirectly affect the health
00:08:52
of your hair let's look at what Barbara
00:08:54
has to say about hormonal imbalance I
00:08:57
mean that's the first one if you don't
00:08:58
turn the tap off you're still mopping up
00:09:00
in the other
00:09:01
Corner sometimes I see hair loss in a
00:09:04
hormonal imbalance so if it's a hormonal
00:09:08
imbalance then the hormones must be
00:09:11
balanced back again it's actually quite
00:09:13
easy number
00:09:15
one you've got to turn the tap off
00:09:18
eliminate everything that could be
00:09:20
causing
00:09:21
this eliminate the pill well how are we
00:09:26
going to stop having babies cropping up
00:09:28
everywhere
00:09:29
well there are natural methods of birth
00:09:32
control eliminate the meat if a person
00:09:34
wants to eat meat and its product it
00:09:37
must be organic it really I do not
00:09:39
believe at this stage in 2012 on planet
00:09:42
Earth that there's an option it's just
00:09:45
too dangerous today because of what is
00:09:47
happening to the meat what's been given
00:09:49
to the meat what they're being fed how
00:09:51
they're killed da da da the whole lot
00:09:55
not only that how it's stored there was
00:09:57
a 60-minute show a couple of years ago
00:09:59
showing green meat and showing you pour
00:10:01
this chemical on it fizzes up and it
00:10:03
goes red and then little bit scary isn't
00:10:07
it eliminate the plastic I think it's
00:10:09
impossible to eliminate plastic such
00:10:11
handy
00:10:12
stuff but just become just become aware
00:10:16
of your safer plastic your Plastics that
00:10:19
doesn't have the nonel fennels in them
00:10:22
the harder plastic uh usually doesn't
00:10:24
have the nonel fennels you got to read
00:10:26
your labels go to Glass even go to to
00:10:29
the secondhand shop they've always got a
00:10:31
huge box of big glass jars right up the
00:10:33
back you can also get uh Pyrex
00:10:37
containers with Tupperware Lids the
00:10:39
problem is when the plastic is heated so
00:10:41
if you got a hot leftover stew in your
00:10:43
little Pyrex put a little China plate on
00:10:46
top till it cools and then maybe put
00:10:48
your plastic lid on top you can pay 10
00:10:51
cents in Target and get a starch plastic
00:10:53
Barbara has an intriguing Theory your
00:10:55
small daily choices might be hiding
00:10:57
secrets about your health think about
00:10:59
using toxic Plastics skipping meals or
00:11:02
taking birth control pills which could
00:11:04
be quietly affecting your hair birth
00:11:07
control pills for example adjust your
00:11:09
hormone levels raising estrogen and
00:11:11
progesterone to prevent pregnancy but
00:11:14
this shift can also disturb other
00:11:16
hormones like androgens when this
00:11:19
happens your hair follicles might become
00:11:21
unusually sensitive leading to a
00:11:24
condition called androgenic alopecia
00:11:26
where your hair starts to thin and fall
00:11:28
out
00:11:30
non-organic meats are often pumped with
00:11:32
growth hormones antibiotics and
00:11:35
chemicals to speed up animal growth when
00:11:37
we eat these meats those same hormones
00:11:40
and chemicals sneak into our bodies
00:11:42
throwing our natural hormone balance off
00:11:44
track and then there are Plastics those
00:11:47
convenient containers might be hiding
00:11:48
something dangerous some Plastics
00:11:51
release chemicals like BPA and
00:11:53
phthalates into our food and drinks
00:11:56
these chemicals can mess with our
00:11:57
hormones mimicking or blocking them and
00:12:00
leading to
00:12:01
imbalances this affects our overall
00:12:03
health and can weaken hair follicles
00:12:05
over time making them more prone to
00:12:08
damage and hair
00:12:09
loss so what can you do to bring it back
00:12:12
again ah there's one more that I didn't
00:12:14
mention and that's
00:12:16
anemia if a person is anemic it can
00:12:19
cause hair loss so what's anemic anemic
00:12:24
means very low iron in the blood and
00:12:27
anemia can be caused because of heavy
00:12:30
blood loss at period time a lot of women
00:12:32
suffer from that and that can cause
00:12:35
anemia and the anemia can cause the hair
00:12:38
loss so to resolve that again Watch My
00:12:41
lecture on hormones boost the
00:12:44
progesterone get the estrogen down then
00:12:47
there won't be the heavy blood loss
00:12:49
every month and the person won't be
00:12:51
anemic anymore and so again the hair can
00:12:55
grow another cause of anemia can be low
00:12:59
hydrochloric acid because iron is bound
00:13:02
up in food and it needs acid to liberate
00:13:05
it from food so it's very important that
00:13:09
the person ensure they have nice strong
00:13:12
hydrochloric acid a simple way to ensure
00:13:15
that is to have a qu of a teaspoon of
00:13:17
can Pepper and a little bit of water
00:13:19
before every meal if you're finding that
00:13:21
a little bit hard you can have the juice
00:13:23
of a lemon before every meal important
00:13:25
to leave a break between meals important
00:13:28
not to drink water with your meals
00:13:30
because that dilutes the hydrochloric
00:13:32
acid also important to have a very happy
00:13:35
relaxed environment at the meal Barbara
00:13:37
is Right iron is essential to the health
00:13:39
of your hair and it's like a Lifeline
00:13:41
that keeps everything running smoothly
00:13:44
if your body does not have enough iron
00:13:46
such as anemia it can damage the health
00:13:48
of your hair without enough iron your
00:13:51
hair will not get the nutrients it needs
00:13:53
to grow strong and shiny resulting in
00:13:55
brittle hair therefore balancing iron
00:13:58
levels is essential to support the
00:14:00
overall health of your hair so your
00:14:02
question is what causes anemia it
00:14:05
happens when you do not consume adequate
00:14:08
iron from your diet or your body can't
00:14:10
take it well when insufficient iron is
00:14:13
received your blood does not transport
00:14:15
oxygen well and your hair follicles will
00:14:18
starve for oxygen leading to yep you
00:14:20
guessed it hair loss but there's no need
00:14:23
to panic the remedy is straightforward
00:14:25
and delicious iron rich foods like
00:14:27
spinach beans and red meat are your
00:14:29
go-to but an iron supplement might be
00:14:32
needed if you're not getting enough from
00:14:34
your diet for an added boost consider
00:14:36
incorporating some vitamin C the best
00:14:39
vitamin C sources are oranges or bell
00:14:41
peppers because they help your body
00:14:44
absorb iron more effectively you can
00:14:47
restore your hair to its former glory
00:14:49
with just a bit of effort we've explored
00:14:52
the various causes of hair loss now
00:14:54
let's explore some remedies given by
00:14:56
Barbara O'Neal a simple way to to ensure
00:14:59
that is to have a/4 of a teaspoon of can
00:15:02
Pepper and a little bit of water before
00:15:04
every meal if you're finding that a
00:15:06
little bit hard you can have the juice
00:15:07
of a lemon before every meal important
00:15:10
to leave a break between meals important
00:15:13
not to drink water with your meals
00:15:15
because that dilutes the hydrochloric
00:15:16
acid also important to have a very happy
00:15:19
relaxed environment at the meal table I
00:15:22
Target those points in more detail on my
00:15:26
lecture on the gut so the causes of hair
00:15:29
loss can be anemia it can be high stress
00:15:34
it can be a hormonal imbalance and it
00:15:36
can be damage that's just physical
00:15:38
damage this has been done to the hair
00:15:41
follicles and so depending on what the
00:15:43
cause is the anemia you can strengthen
00:15:47
the hydrochloric
00:15:48
acid balance the hormones but what can
00:15:52
you do to the scalp to
00:15:54
encourage the hair to grow again you can
00:15:57
make a mix that you can put on your hair
00:16:00
and this mix is let's let's make up the
00:16:04
mix so half a cup of coconut
00:16:10
oil and half a cup of castor
00:16:16
oil Castoro is a very thick
00:16:20
oil but castor oil penetrates deeper
00:16:23
than any other oil so when that is put
00:16:26
onto the scalp it penetrates even deeper
00:16:30
coconut oil is a very nourishing oil
00:16:32
it's an anti- fungal oil antibacterial
00:16:35
oil but what you also can put with that
00:16:38
so now you've got a cup of oil there to
00:16:41
that cup of oil you can add 10
00:16:44
drops of Rosemary essential oil
00:16:49
Rosemary is a herb that's specific for
00:16:52
the scalp Rosemary essential oil so you
00:16:55
could make up this mix in a jar
00:16:59
and mix it very very well and maybe once
00:17:02
a week you you massage it into the scalp
00:17:06
your hair will be very oily of course
00:17:08
but you massage it into the scalp
00:17:10
coconut oil contains nutrients that
00:17:12
moisturize and protect hair from damage
00:17:15
it gives hair a cozy nourishing blanket
00:17:17
to keep it shiny and strong next we have
00:17:20
castor oil this thick Rich oil is loaded
00:17:23
with rolic acid which boosts blood
00:17:25
circulation to the scalp finally there
00:17:28
is rosemary oil o rosemary oil
00:17:30
stimulates blood flow and directly
00:17:32
delivers essential nutrients to the
00:17:34
roots to promote hair growth and then a
00:17:37
nice amount of shampoo and if it's still
00:17:40
a little bit greasy maybe shampoo it
00:17:42
again now that brings us to the
00:17:44
shampoo there's something that you must
00:17:46
keep right away from and it's called
00:17:49
sodium Laurel
00:17:51
sulfate sodium Laurel
00:17:54
sulfate is what's in many shampoos and
00:17:58
so sodium Laurel sulfate kills the hair
00:18:01
follicles so it's important to take a
00:18:03
magnifying glass into the shop and read
00:18:07
the labels in places like Whole Foods
00:18:10
Sprouts Trader Joe's where they have a
00:18:12
lot of uh Health Foods they have a lot
00:18:14
of supplements and they have a more
00:18:17
healthier brand of products so have a
00:18:21
look for a shampoo that has no so we've
00:18:24
got to make sure you realize no sodium l
00:18:28
sulfate because the sodium Laurel
00:18:30
sulfate is a chemical that causes the
00:18:33
foaming of the shampoo and that sodium
00:18:35
Laurel sulfate has the ability to kill
00:18:38
the hair follicles in the scalp so
00:18:40
please keep away from that you can get
00:18:42
some very nice coconut based shampoos
00:18:45
coconut is very nourishing to the scalp
00:18:49
what's also important here are some
00:18:51
additions to the treatment so additions
00:18:55
to using this once a week I'm I mean if
00:18:59
you're home a lot you might even do it
00:19:00
twice a
00:19:01
week exercise what exercise does is it
00:19:05
increases the circulation of the blood
00:19:07
to the extremities and the scalp is
00:19:10
considered an
00:19:11
extremity so exercise daily especially
00:19:15
the high intensity interval training the
00:19:18
high intensity interval training because
00:19:20
of the periods of very high intensity
00:19:23
that really gets the blood moving out to
00:19:25
the extremities so that should be done
00:19:28
daily and hydration keep well hydration
00:19:32
remember the rule of thumb is is eight
00:19:35
glasses to 100 lbs body
00:19:40
weight that's a good rule of thumb too
00:19:42
to know how much to uh how much water to
00:19:45
give the children nourishment we need to
00:19:48
nourish that scalp from the inside
00:19:52
because your scalp is fed by your blood
00:19:55
that's why when you exercise you get
00:19:57
more blood to the area but when you get
00:19:59
the blood to the area you want it to be
00:20:01
well watered exercise will automatically
00:20:04
put the oxygen in there and nourishment
00:20:06
we need to be having a high fiber diet
00:20:09
high
00:20:10
fiber we also need to be having generous
00:20:13
amounts of protein here's your legumes
00:20:15
your nuts your seeds so generous
00:20:18
proteins proteins are the building
00:20:20
blocks of the
00:20:22
body and healthy
00:20:25
fats so there's your nuts your seeds
00:20:28
your avoc
00:20:29
coconut coconut and olive oil very nice
00:20:33
to sprinkle a little olive oil in there
00:20:35
and Celtic salt oh it makes potatoes
00:20:37
very nice so nourishment is NE is
00:20:41
necessary and remember when healing
00:20:43
happens at twice the rate
00:20:47
sleep you want to heal you got to get 8
00:20:50
hours 8 hours not negotiable every night
00:20:54

00:20:57

00:21:00
much sleep little by little by little
00:21:02
