1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm Radi Wkah, and on my podcast A Really Good Cry,

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: we embraced the messy and the beautiful, providing a space

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: for raw, unfiltered conversations that celebrate vulnerability and allow you

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: to tune in to learn, connect and find comfort together. Hey, everyone,

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: I hope you having such a wonderful week. Today we

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: are going to talk about how to get the healthiest,

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: the strongest, the lusciest hair that you have ever had.

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: You know what, a while back, just after I got COVID,

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: I started experiencing extreme hair loss. Like I would say,

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: I was feeling like clumps of hair coming out of

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: my hair. My hair was stinning at the front, shedding

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: during the day, and when I would wash my hair,

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: I would brush it and the brush would just be

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: full of hair. So I just knew something wasn't right.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: And it started after I got COVID, but it continued

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: for a good few months after. And I remember just

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: pulling hair out in my hands and my hand was

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: just full of it, and I was shedding all over

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: my hair, And you know, it was definitely scary at

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: the time, but it was also a sign to me

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: that I had to adjust something, Like there was an

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: imbalance in my body.

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: Something just wasn't right.

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Now, before we get into this or go any further,

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I need to say this. I need you to remember

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: that we all have different genetics, and healthy hair will

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: look different for each person. We're all so beautifully unique,

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: and comparing your hair to someone else's whose base is

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: just totally different to yours.

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: Doesn't make any sense.

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: So I hope that this episode is going to help

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: you in some way to get healthier hair, to help

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: with hair loss, but you have to remember that it's

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: what it's going to do is help you to get

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: your hair as it is, your unique hair, to its

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: healthiest version. And so we're going to talk about how

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: you can identify what your hair type is, what a

38
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: healthy version of that hair looks like, how to stop

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: hair loss, how to improve hair health, and everything in between,

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: and also how to maintain healthy hair like on a

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: regular basis, how can we make sure that we don't

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: go through those ebbs and flows of losing hair and

43
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: trying to get it back, and losing hair and trying

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: to get back Because I know I've been in that before,

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: so good hair is a result of overall health, no

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: matter how hard you try your hair cannot be treated

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: as a singular thing. Your hair health needs holistic attention,

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: and healthy hair is actually just the side benefit of

49
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: good health. It's a byproduct of your organs working at

50
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: its best, your gut, your digestion, and your mental state.

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Every single thing matters, and it all contributes towards better

52
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: skin health, hair health, nail health. Everything that we see

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: on the outside is influenced by what we do on

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the inside. But really, and truly, what do I mean

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: when I say good health? We hear that all the time.

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Are you in good health? I want good health, I

57
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: want better health. But what does health really mean? Well,

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: good health really is when your body is getting everything

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: that it needs to function optimally. It's when the nutrients

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: that you're eating are absorbed and used to nourish all

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the bodies from your tissues down to your cells. So

62
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: if we have the right nutrients coming into our body

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: and they're being absorbed by our body, the hair will

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: be growing, the skin will be glowing, the nails will

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: be strong, and your body will be feeling and looking fabulous.

66
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Now in our Veda talks about how we have seven

67
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: layers of tissues known as the datus now they are

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: basically the different layers that need to be nourished. And

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: if you imagine that, the skin is the last layer.

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: So what happens is when we're eating our food, when

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: we're absorbing all the nutrients, the nourishment starts from the

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: bottom layer, and only if we have enough nutrients will

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: it make it to our skin, to our hair, to

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: all the external things that you see. And so that's

75
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: why it's so important to think about how deeply we

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: are nourishing our bodies. There's this term called odjas and

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: ojess is the nectar. They're like creme de la creme

78
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: produced by our body. It's this substance that's produced when

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: nutrients are absorbed in the body and digested in.

80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: The right way.

81
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I always imagine odjas as this like thick gold neckar

82
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: that's going through our body, providing vitality to the body.

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's what gives the outside of our body that

84
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: healthy look. You know, all the factors that we look

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: at and we say, oh, she looks really healthy. She's

86
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: got that glow on her skin, her hair looks shiny

87
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and well, and just that vibrancy that you see on

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: the outside. That is what ojas is on the inside.

89
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: And actually I heard this comparison and it made so

90
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: much sense to me. It said that just as leaves

91
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: shed off trees during winter to preserve water and energy

92
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: to survive, in the same way, our body sheds hair

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: when we don't consume enough nutrients, because hair is considered

94
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: a non essential part of our body, and if you

95
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: think about it, we don't really need hair to survive. Yeah,

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: it might keep us warm on our body, Yes, it

97
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: looks beautiful. Yes it adds to our character when someone's

98
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: looking at us. But and so our body actually prioritizes

99
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: getting the nutrients to the essential organs like our brain

100
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: whenever our energy or nutrients are depleted, which makes so

101
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: much sense. So really the goal is how can we

102
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: eat to get the nutrients that we need, and how

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: can we enhance and boost our digestion to actually be

104
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: able to process, receive, and absorb those nutrients to nourish

105
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: us deeply and fully.

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: So I read it.

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Actually breaks down our hair into three categories or types.

108
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: It's called doches. There's cofer, pitter, and butter. Now there's

109
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: a quiz that you can do online. There are many

110
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: quizzes you can do to find out what your doshit is.

111
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: And these types don't just affect our hair. It's not

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: just a hair type, it's a full body type. It's

113
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: so much more than just your hair. But for the

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: purpose of this episode and the focus of it being

115
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: about hair, I'm going to keep it simple and refer

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: to them only as hair types. But I really recommend

117
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: looking into the doses because it helps you to understand

118
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: your mental state, your physical body, whether it's your hair,

119
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: your skin, your nails, what kind of products you should

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: be using. Like when you figure out what your dochhit

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: is or your type is, it can really help you

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: to understand your body so much better, whether it's the

123
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: food you're eating or the things that you're using on

124
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: your skin. So a healthy butter type hair. So you

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: have to remember that when you're thinking about your hair

126
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: and your skin, you don't just think about it in

127
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the moment. You think, what has my skin and hair

128
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: been originally for a long period of time, Because sometimes

129
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: our external environment, if it's outside, your skin will feel dryer,

130
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: that makes sense. If it's cold outside and it's windy,

131
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: your skin will feel dryer, that makes sense. And so

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: what you're really trying to do is over a long

133
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: period of time. It says, what is my skin in

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: its normality? And so a healthy Vater type hair is

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: relatively thin, often can be quite coarse. It might be straight,

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: it could be curly, or a combination of the two.

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: Maybe you get some nice waves in there.

138
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: It grows quickly, but can be a little bit unruly

139
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: like it can be quite dry and coarse in its

140
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: natural state, so sometimes it can be more challenging to style.

141
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: A healthy pitter hair type is usually straight, very soft,

142
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: quite predictable. You know what you're gonna get with it.

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: It has moderate thickness but can also be quite fine.

144
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: So there's a big difference between having a lot of

145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: hair and having each hair particle being thin or thick.

146
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: And so you can go to places where they'll actually

147
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: test your hair type two. They'll test your scalp. See

148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: how healthy your scalp is, See what kind of hair

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 1: that you actually have, Like with each fine piece of hair.

150
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: Is it actually porous, is it not porous? Is it thick?

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: Is it thin?

152
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of understanding your hair is also experimenting

153
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: and finding these things out. And the third type is

154
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: healthy Kaffa hair so kafer hair is typically thick, wavy,

155
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: quite lustrous, it's full, it's strong. It can be coarse,

156
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: but it's very thick and can also be quite weally too.

157
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: So really the three types are better where your hair

158
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: is probably thinner or lighter, pitter where it's straight, softer,

159
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know what you're expecting with it. And

160
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Kaffer hair is the thicker, stronger, probably the type where

161
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: you expect you know what you expect healthy hair to

162
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: look like. But I'm going to talk about that a

163
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: little bit more later on of what healthy hair really means.

164
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Whenever you're thinking about what your hair is right now,

165
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: think about these three options. So, if you've got too

166
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: much fatter, so if there is an imbalance of vatter

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: in the body, it can cause your hair to be dry, frizzy, brittle.

168
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: It can also cause your hair to thin, fall out

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: in clumps, become shorter and harder to grow out, and

170
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: usually you get more split ends with this. If you've

171
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: got too much pitter, it can cause too much heat

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: in your hair follw cause which can actually damage the

173
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: hair and need to premise your thinning and also early

174
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: graying and specific areas where you're getting bold, and when

175
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: there's an imbalance of Kaffer, it's oiliness, excess oiliness, heaviness,

176
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: and almost like your hair feels too thick and too heavy,

177
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: and so your hair health is compromised. It's really important

178
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: to assess what your natural hair type is, like I said,

179
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: based on your lifelong hair patterns before you started seeing changes,

180
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: to really determine what type of hair you have and

181
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: then what type of imbalance you have. You can actually

182
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: be a combination of two of these types. So you

183
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: may be a Kaffer type, but also you know at

184
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: the moment have a Buttter imbalance because of the type

185
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: of environment you're in. And it's really important to remember

186
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: the distinction between hair types that we are naturally born with,

187
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: because you know, like I was saying before about the

188
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Kaffer hair type, many of us end up developing this

189
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: idea because of the culture and because of society, that

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: your hair is not healthy unless it's this thick, cuffer

191
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: hair type, and we develop this idea that our natural

192
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: hair type is somehow inadequate. But really what you're trying

193
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: to do is get to your optimal hair and appreciate

194
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: your natural state. So if you're someone with thin straight hair. Naturally,

195
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: it may actually not be possible to get thick, big,

196
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: curly hair, but it will be possible to get healthy

197
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: hair for you. So that may be a shift in

198
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: mindset that we're also trying to adapt throughout listening to this.

199
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: So it may not be what you want to hear,

200
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: but it is the truth because you'll keep trying to

201
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: strive for like, oh, I've got straight and thin hair,

202
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: but I really want thick and curly hair, but that

203
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: may just not be your genetics to have that. And

204
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: so really what we're trying to do is embrace and

205
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: appreciate our natural beauty because otherwise we're constantly looking for

206
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: what other people have and then end up being constantly

207
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: dissatisfied with what we have and aiming for things that

208
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: may just.

209
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: Not be possible.

210
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: So let's really focus on having the healthiest version of

211
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: our hair and ourself. Now, I know we always say no, sorry,

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: I just want to go back to the three types

213
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: because I know they can sound confusing with like the

214
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: different names that you may not have heard, but just

215
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: essentially remember there are the three times. The thinner finer hair,

216
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: which is thatta pitter is your medium thickness usually straight,

217
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: but it's quite silky and you know what you're going

218
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: to get with it. And the third is tough us thick,

219
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: usually quite curly, wavy, very like lustrous hair.

220
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about treatments.

221
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Because I know there's a common saying that you know,

222
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: it's not about the outside, it's about what you do

223
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: from the inside. But you'll be happy to know that

224
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: in Ariveda it actually says that the external therapies are

225
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: also very effective when it comes to hair health, whether

226
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: it's hair oils or masks. But obviously the quality of

227
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: the ingredients used makes such a difference, and when this

228
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: is coupled with a good diet and lifestyle, of course

229
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: the problems get addressed from all ends. So yes, of

230
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: course it's about what you do on the inside, but

231
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: it's also quite nice knowing that the things that you

232
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: can do externally can also help significantly to you know,

233
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: when you're trying to solve something with your hair, the

234
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: most intuitive thing to do is to try and treat

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: and support our hair from the outside. And just like

236
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: our skin, the hair and scalp are actually able to

237
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: absorb a lot of moisture and nutrients, so the head

238
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: also has a lot of energy or murmur points that

239
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: are connected to channels throughout the body, and so when

240
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: you put things on your scalp, that's why sometimes they

241
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: say when you're putting oil in your body, they usually

242
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: focus on your scalp and your feet where your nerves

243
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: begin and end, and there are two areas where actually

244
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: it can help with absorption throughout the body.

245
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: So sometimes they.

246
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Will add herbs and medicine that needs to get into

247
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: the bloodstream or that needs to go throughout the body

248
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: and apply it on your scalp or on your feet

249
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: for it to travel throughout your body. And so it

250
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: does so much more than just affect your scalp or

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: your skin or your hair when you're doing something like that.

252
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some rituals and practices that you

253
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: can incorporate to reduce hair loss but also maintain healthy hair.

254
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: The first one is oiling your hair, a tradition which

255
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: is literally as old as time is then in Indian family,

256
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: is from when you're basically born, when you get that

257
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: first little hair, your hair is being oiled.

258
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 2: You use warm oil and you.

259
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: Massage the oils into your scalp and it can help

260
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: to naturally cleanse and detox the scalp.

261
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: And roots of the hair.

262
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: This practice also nourishes the cells, it rejuvenates dry hair,

263
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: and it stimulates circulation in the scalp to eventually.

264
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: All promote hair growth.

265
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: So you can all your hair once a week, once

266
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: a month, you know, whatever's manageable for you, but usually

267
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: once a week is what's recommended. And you can also

268
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: use different oils depending on what your hair is like

269
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: or what you need. Sometimes even seasonally.

270
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: You can change up the oil.

271
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: So coconut oil is something that I usually would use

272
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: in summer, I find that it's you know, more of

273
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: a cooling oil. But in winter, having something like assess

274
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: me oil or an avocado or which is richer and thicker,

275
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: I would usually change it according to that. But you know,

276
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: this process is also something where you have to test

277
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: things out for yourself. Like I remember going through a

278
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: phrase where I would do coconut oil and my hair

279
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: would feel drier after I did it, after I had

280
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: oiled my hair than before, and so cocone oil was

281
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: just not the oil for me. And so you really

282
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: have to experiment with these different types of oils and

283
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: see what works best, whether it's coconut sests.

284
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Me almond olive oil. The purer the better.

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: You can keep the oil on for about twenty minutes

286
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: before you wash your hair, or keep it overnight, wrap

287
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: it up and then wash it in the morning. There

288
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: are also so many new brands that have come out

289
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: or old brands even that have hair oils infused with

290
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: iovated herves and I love using them. So there's brands

291
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: like Renervet, Banyan Botanicals, Avarani, there are plenty of them

292
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: even on Amazon. Just make sure they're organic and they

293
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: have minimal ingredients. But you can also just use the

294
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: plain oils that you have. Just make sure you warm

295
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: them because warming of the oil helps it to.

296
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: Get deeper into your tissues.

297
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: So for anybody who is oiling for the first time,

298
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: let me give you some tips.

299
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: So make sure you split your hair.

300
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: Into sections and massage to oil from root to tip,

301
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: comb it through, make sure it's dispersed throughout your hair.

302
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Make sure the oil is warm because when you use

303
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: warm oil, it actually infuses deeper into your roots and

304
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: your tissues.

305
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: Don't overoil.

306
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Make sure you are not using too much either, just

307
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: enough to get through. You know from roots to tip,

308
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: but it's not dripping in oil. And when you are

309
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: removing the oil from your hair, make sure you do

310
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: it thoroughly because otherwise your pores can get clogged from

311
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the oils and then it doesn't allow your hair to

312
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: grow properly and can actually increase hair for So to

313
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: make sure that all that oil gets out of your hair,

314
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: add the shampoo on your hair before you wet it.

315
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: As soon as you add water to oil in your hair,

316
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I find it so much harder to get the oil out,

317
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: and so add the shampoo onto your kind of dried

318
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: oiled hair, like rub it in as deeply as possible,

319
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: and then wash your hair out, and you may even

320
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: need a double shampoo. I've actually really enjoyed adding rosemary

321
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: into oil.

322
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've all.

323
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Seen the trends that have been on TikTok and on

324
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Instagram constanty, but rosemary has been proven to help with

325
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: hair growth, and so adding in fresh rosemary when you're

326
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: warming the oil up or there's rosemary all that you

327
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: can find on Amazon, I really like it.

328
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: And this smells really good too.

329
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: And lastly, rinse with cold water after so once you've

330
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: washed everything out and you've done your conditioner and done

331
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: the last step, turn your shower to freezing cold and

332
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: rinse your hair with cold water. After cold water actually

333
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: closes up your hair's cuticles, stimulates blood circulation, which leads to.

334
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: Faster hair growth.

335
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: It also helps to seal in the moisture from your conditioner,

336
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: which makes your hair feel shiny and healthy and lovely.

337
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: The next thing I recommend is doing a scalp massage. Honestly,

338
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: if there's one self care viritual that I make sure

339
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: I do every single day, it is doing a scalp

340
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: massage every single day. Not only is it so soothing

341
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: and so calming, and if you can get someone else

342
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: to do it for you, that is a bonus. But

343
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: doing circular motions on your head, maybe even focusing in

344
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: the areas that you're finding your losing hair. This really

345
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: helps to stimulate your blood circulation, and if you are

346
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: doing it with oil in your hair, can enhance the

347
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: oil absorbing deeper into your scalp. What you also have

348
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: to remember is on your head, you've got all these

349
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: marmur points, all these pressure points like I mentioned before,

350
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: and it boosts circulation into the scalp. So the more

351
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: blood you have brushing to your head, the more nutrients

352
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: are going towards your scalp. The more nutrients you have

353
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: going towards your scalp, the more it will help the

354
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: hair follicles grow. I've actually got a video of this

355
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: on my Instagram, so you can check it out for

356
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: the full demonstration of that. But it's super simple. It's

357
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: very intuitive. You're basically just in circular motions using your

358
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: fingers to massage your scalp. Now, I don't know whether

359
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: you guys have heard about this, but Derma rolling recently

360
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: has been coming up a lot for me when it

361
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: comes to hair, and I actually bought.

362
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: One for myself.

363
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: It's been used to treat hair loss, whether it's in

364
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: your beard, your scalp. You know, it's been used in

365
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: many different ways. People use it a lot on their

366
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: skin to help with skin rejuvenation, and I've been seeing

367
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: it a lot lately for hair growth too.

368
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: I have done it. I've got mixed reviews.

369
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: It definitely leaves kind of redness and discomfort, but also

370
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: leaves you with pretty much open wounds, and so I

371
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: do think it's effective. I think you really have to

372
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: learn how to do it. Properly. It's something that I

373
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: am not too familiar with, but it's definitely something I've

374
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: heard has helped many people, like derma rolling and then

375
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: doing the oil so the old seeps deeper into your hair,

376
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: and there's other treatments that can be done alongside it.

377
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: But really, even if you can just start off with

378
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: oiling and massaging your hair, especially the massage part, it's

379
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: just it is such a game changer. That's what I

380
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: did at the front of my hair when I felt

381
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: like it was thinning, and over time it made a.

382
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: Big difference for me.

383
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: So one thing my hairdresser, every single time she sees me,

384
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: when I would tell her I feel like I'm losing

385
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: hair at the front, She'll be like, stop doing your

386
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: tight buns.

387
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: That's what she goes.

388
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm seeing it in so many women these days. It's

389
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: like the thing that I'm seeing the most actually in

390
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: women is this hair loss at the front of the hair.

391
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: And it's because of the trend that became the tight,

392
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: tight buns, the low buns that we would be doing

393
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: or even you know, tying our hair tight at the top. Look,

394
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: if you're going out and you want to do that

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: hair style, great. I do do that when I go out,

396
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: but now you'll see me most often if I want

397
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: my hair off my face, I'll just.

398
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: Do braids, good old braids or.

399
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: Plats, just you know, doing a soft braid either side.

400
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: I normally split my hair into two and do that.

401
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: It keeps your hair detangled, but also stops the pressure

402
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: that you're putting on the top of your head every

403
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: time you're doing a slick backed kind of hairstyle with

404
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: a tight hairband, and so avoiding those hairstyles as much

405
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: as possible. Also, when we do those hairstyles, you're brushing

406
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: it back quite intensely and you're tying it tight, which

407
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: can lead to breakages. And so really and truly avoid

408
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: doing any tight hairstyles, whether it's a half pony where

409
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: you're tying it really tight, any pressure that's been put

410
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: on your scalp, trying to avoid if you are in

411
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: process of trying to grow your hair back. So silk

412
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: pillows is another way to help protect your hair. The

413
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: smooth texture allows the fabric to just glide against your hair,

414
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: so there's obviously just less friction, which means that your

415
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: hair is less likely to break or just pull or say,

416
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: they just feel really really nice to sleep on. So

417
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: whether it's for your hair or not, definitely.

418
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: Get one having heat free day.

419
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: So I actually, unless I'm really going out or need

420
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: my hair to be like really well done, I.

421
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 2: Would just let my hair air dry. I now got

422
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: this new.

423
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: System where I have my hair where I'll put a

424
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: leaving conditioner, do two plats either side or braize either side, and.

425
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: Let it naturally dry. Let them out after a while

426
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: and we get these really nice little waves.

427
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: And so it's a nice way to have a cute

428
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: look but still not damage your hair with having to

429
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: use a hair dry or curl as too much.

430
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: Cut off the dead ends.

431
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: I know, like when you're trying to grow your hair,

432
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is cut your hair.

433
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: But sometimes the dead ends take up all the nutrients

434
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: that your roots actually need, and so it's just dead weight.

435
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: So getting your hair trimmed regularly. If you do see

436
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: spit ends or if you do see dead bits at

437
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: the bottom, just get a really small trim. I'm like,

438
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: take off half an inch, take off as little as

439
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: possible to keep it healthy. That's usually what I say

440
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: when I to get my hair cut. Also, wash your

441
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: hair less and don't shampoo too much. Look, your hair

442
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: is not getting that dirty. Let your hair build up

443
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: the natural oils because these oils also.

444
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: Help to protect your scalp.

445
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: Make sure you're detangling and brushing through your hair at

446
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: least once a week two to get rid of all

447
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: those deadweight hairs. Also, the more tangled your hair is,

448
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: the more likely that you will have breakages. And lastly,

449
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: avoid products with lots of harmful chemicals. Like when you're

450
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: shopping for hair products, just be a little bit more mindful.

451
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Read the labels. The basics should be no parabons, no sulfates,

452
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: and so trying to find even if it's just like

453
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent natural, great, at least it's ninety eight

454
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: percent the extra two percent of chemicals. At least it's

455
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent chemicals. So try and you know,

456
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: look for products and styling products and everything from your

457
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: shampoo's conditioners, whether you're coloring your hair, your styling products,

458
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: your hair sprays, try and swap them all out with

459
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: things that have minimal ingredients or at least are free

460
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: of the sulfates and parabons that can damage our hair.

461
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about what you are eating.

462
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: When it comes to food, the basic underlying rule is

463
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: food with high prana. Prana in Sanskrit means life force. It's,

464
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, the fresher, the better seasonal, vibrant, the food

465
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: that has more vitamins and minerals, like, the richer in

466
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: vitamins and minerals, it is, the more vitamins and minerals

467
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: your body's getting.

468
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: It just makes sense.

469
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: You know, the more vitamins and minerals you're feeding yourself,

470
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: the more your organs are happy. And in byproduct of

471
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: that is organs happy digestion happy hair is happy.

472
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: But let's also get.

473
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: This gut clean, because one thing we forget is that

474
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: good healthy hair starts in the gut. If your gut

475
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: is not able to digest, is not able to absorb

476
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: the nutrients that you're eating. It's all good and well

477
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: eating the food, but is your gut really absorbing it

478
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: to actually provide the nourishment needed for the body, for

479
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: the hair. And so a big part of your hair

480
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: journey will also be your gutcha. How am I going

481
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: to improve my gut health? That's is the question that

482
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: you need to ask yourself as soon as you start

483
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: noticing skin or hair changes. You have to remember that

484
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: is your body's sign. Hey, there is something wrong. Anything

485
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: that happens externally in our body. Literally anything, whether you

486
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: get a spot on your face, whether your hair starts

487
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: falling out, whether you get roseatia, whether you get acne,

488
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: whether you get any kind of skin, nail, hair issues.

489
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: It is a sign that our body is not working

490
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: the way it should. It's a sign that our gut

491
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: needs some help, and it's a sign that the nutrients

492
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: are not making its way to the surface of our body,

493
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: the last layer of our tissue. So one I recommend

494
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: going to get a gut test. Make sure you get

495
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: a gut test done. Check out how your gut is functioning.

496
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Usually that involves a store test. It's not very cute,

497
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: but you will be cute after finding out what's wrong

498
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: and you fix it, So it's worth it. But start

499
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: off with pre and probiotics. They support your gut microbiome,

500
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: increase your good gut bacteria, and so do fermented foods.

501
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: So things like kimchi, sour kraut, get in some fermented

502
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: foods into everything that you're eating. I usually add them

503
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: in as a side to anything I'm having my lunch,

504
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: my dinner, my salads. You can always add in a

505
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: bit of sour kraut on the side somewhere. And these

506
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: fermented foods also help to support your good bacteria. The

507
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: more good bacteria you have, the better your food will digest.

508
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: Avoid antibiotics. Look, if you have to go on them,

509
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: you have to go on them. But sometimes they are

510
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: prescribed left right and center for anything and everything that

511
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: comes up. Antibiotics kill, They destroy our good gut bacteria.

512
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: And so if you have been on antibiotics and you're noticing, oh,

513
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: I was on antibiotics, my gut feels funny, my hair

514
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: is starting to fall out, there may be a trend there,

515
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: and so you have to, like I always recommend people

516
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: when I was a dietitian in hospitals, if they are

517
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: going on antibiotics automatically, they're going on pre and probiotics too.

518
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: It's just a non negotiable. Eat foods rich in fiber.

519
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: Your foods, your veggies, your whole grains. Get that fiber in.

520
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: It's going to help to clear out your gut and

521
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: help to strengthen your digestive tract. So in conclusion, for

522
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: your gut. Get your gut tested number one. Meanwhile, have

523
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: your pre and probiotics, your fermented foods. Eat the rain

524
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: bow literally like eat all the different colors. They have

525
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: all the different nutrients that you need. But also the

526
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: more diversity you have in colors, in textures of the

527
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: food you're eating, the more diversity in your microbiome there

528
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: will be. I'll also say there is this one adaptera

529
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: gen called triphilla trier actually means three FULLA means full full,

530
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: sorry we say full, which is flour. So it's like

531
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: a mix of three different herbs, and essentially it is

532
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: an adapter gen that helps to promote proper digestion and

533
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: absorption of food. Really easy to get these days. Make

534
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: sure it's organic and you can take it in water.

535
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: There's many different ways that you can take it. But essentially,

536
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: if you're having a few gut issues, then definitely adding

537
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: in trifola is a good place to start. Make sure

538
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: you're taking a multi vitamins, like get checked to see

539
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: what your iron levels are, your B vitamins are. You

540
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: may simply be deficient in vitamins and minerals, so getting

541
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: those simple. It's like so many things can happen, and

542
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: we're like, let me add this in, Let me add

543
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: this in, Let me take this medicine, let me take

544
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: this supplement. How about we find out what's wrong at

545
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: the root of the issue, Like what is the root

546
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: problem that's happening. What vitamins and minerals are missing from

547
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: my diet that I need to incorporate.

548
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: How can I incorporate.

549
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: Them in my day to day life, Like what fruit

550
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: and vegetables or foods have these nutrients in them? And

551
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: then let me supplement on top of that. Look, nature

552
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: has everything that we need, we just need to know

553
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: how to use it. And so understanding and doing like

554
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: educating ourselves on what foods include, what vitamins and minerals

555
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: is really important too. Have it printed out. There are

556
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: these beautiful charts you can print out from Google. Have

557
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: it on your fridge so you know when you're doing

558
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: your shop what food you want to buy on a

559
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: weekly base to help with this. But a great multi

560
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: vitamin is always nice to make sure you're topping up

561
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: on all the nutrients that you need. There's also bio

562
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: in and it is a b vitamin and it similarates

563
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: the production of keratin, which is great for your hair

564
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: to increase follicle growth. I've actually had many people take

565
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: this for a short period of time, and honestly, I

566
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: did take it after I had my COVID hair loss,

567
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: and I did a lot of.

568
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: Things mixed together.

569
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: So I did the bio it in, I did make

570
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: sure I was taking my vitamins, I did the Scout massage,

571
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: and all of those together help. So I can't say

572
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: that in a singular way that the biotin helps, but

573
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I think sometimes, like I said, it's a multifaceted thing.

574
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: You can't just rely on one thing to help. You

575
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: can also, by the way, you don't have to pop

576
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: pills to get biot in. You can get it from

577
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: swup potatoes, nuts, broccoli, colorflower, and then you can also

578
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: get the supplement to top it up to if your

579
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: gut is feeling sensitive and you're noticing like a big

580
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: sign by the way that your gut isn't functioning well,

581
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: is looking at your bowels, how are your bells doing,

582
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: are you pooping regularly? What does it look like, how

583
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: is it feeling? How is your gut feeling every time

584
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: you're eating? And in our Vada it's recommended that if

585
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: you are having gut issues, stick to cooked foods, not

586
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: raw foods. Raw foods are harder to digest, and cooked

587
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: foods are easier to digest.

588
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: It's simple if you.

589
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: Imagine, the cooked foods are already pre cooked before they

590
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: get into your body. Raw foods are not, and so

591
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: your stomach has to work to break through the fiber

592
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: and all the cruciferous vegetables and all those things like,

593
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: it's much harder. If your gut is weak, it's going

594
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: to struggle, and then it's not going to digest properly.

595
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: It's going to ferment in the body, and it's going

596
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: to produce toxins in the body. Therefore, you're not absorbing

597
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: the nutrients and not getting what you need to your hair.

598
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: And so have cooked foods easier to digest, food soups, stews,

599
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, rather than having raw foods if

600
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: you are in the process of improving your digestion. Now,

601
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, we have to talk about the number

602
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: one thing that has been.

603
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Reported cause hair loss.

604
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: It may not be the food you're eating, it may

605
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: not be the deficiencies, it may not be what you're

606
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: putting on top.

607
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: Of your hair.

608
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: It may be how stressed out you are. Now listen

609
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: from your body's perspective, like, your stress response is geared

610
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: towards increasing your chance of survival, right, and it occurs

611
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: when your body perceives that your survival is threatened. Nowadays,

612
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: we're not usually in life certain situations, but your nervous

613
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: system actually does not know the difference between being in

614
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: a boardroom and being stressed or stressing out about something

615
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: at work, or being chased by a hungry lion. Your

616
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: stress response ends up being the same because the same.

617
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Hormones are produced.

618
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, when stress response goes on for a long

619
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: period and it becomes chronic, it begins to steal our

620
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: the nutrients from our tissues. It begins to deplete our

621
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: body of the nutrients that it needs to keep feeling optimal,

622
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: and this can go all the way down to bones

623
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: and hair, like it will just strip. Because we're using

624
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: so much energy, We're using so much of our body

625
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: to actually fight this stress response, to fight the inflammation

626
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: that happens from stress, that the focus goes towards that

627
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: and not towards nourishing different parts of our body. So

628
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: let's do a bit of chilling out. Shall we stop

629
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: scrolling now, whatever that.

630
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: Means for you.

631
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: But one thing that I noticed I do whenever I

632
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: am stressed or my just automatic response seems to be

633
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: in moments of the in between, those in between moments

634
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: where you could be having moments of breath, moments of calm,

635
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: we're scrolling. So if there's one thing you do to

636
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: help with your stress levels during the day is stop

637
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: scrolling between things. Stop reaching for your phone. Every single

638
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: time you get a moment, that moment is for breath.

639
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: That moment is to breathe into the in betweens, like

640
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: feel the calm into your body between the crazy parts

641
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: of the day. If you don't allow yourself to set

642
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: every few hours, your body's stress levels will just keep

643
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: increasing and increasing. And so when you're going onto Instagram,

644
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: it is not relaxing you. When you're sitting on the

645
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: toilet and you're trying to like go to the bathroom,

646
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: don't scroll, scroll, scroll, sit and just breathe. Like, there's

647
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: so many in between moments that we don't realize we

648
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: get to actually bring us back to ourself to actually

649
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: lower our stress levels. So we really need to do that.

650
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: And you know, cortisol is an all time high, especially

651
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: in women. It is causing disruption of hormones, disruption of

652
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: so many things. Again, all of these things impact our

653
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: hair and our skin and everything. And so my holistic

654
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: doctor actually put me on this thing called cortisole balancer.

655
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: So definitely, you know, seek advice from a doctor before

656
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: going on this, but you can get these herbal remedies

657
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: that are cortisole balances, and it helps to just calm

658
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: your nervous system but also rebalance your cortisol levels, which

659
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: are the hormone that is produced.

660
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: When you are stressed out.

661
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: There's also an adaption called Ushua Gandha. It helps to

662
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: balance your stress hormones.

663
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: It is great.

664
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: You can take it every single day and it helps

665
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: you rebalance I mean mind, body and heart stress levels.

666
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: To be honest, So there was a lot of information

667
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: that you were given today, but this is the conclusion.

668
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: So if you didn't end up absorbing much of anything

669
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: I said, here's what you have to remember. Number One,

670
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: check out what your hair type is. Do a test online.

671
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: I will probably share, I will not I will probably

672
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: I will share a quiz that you can take on

673
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: our Instagram. So look out for that when this episode

674
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: comes out. Figure out what your hair type is so

675
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: you have realistic goals. Set yourself realistic hair goals number one,

676
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: number two. Figure out what the imbalances are. Start to

677
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: assess your hair. Is it drier, is it too oily,

678
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: is it thinning?

679
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: Is it to course? Is it frizzy?

680
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: Like? Figure out what the problem is we are trying

681
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: to solve. Next up, test out all your bloods, your

Speaker 1: gut like, get checked out for all your victimin deficiencies,

684
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: your gut health is impacting everything, so make sure that

685
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: is one of the main things that you do. Then

686
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to treatments, you're gonna have to explore.

687
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to try things out. You're gonna have

688
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: to test and repeat testing and see what works for you,

689
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: whether it's the oils you're using in your hair, to

690
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: the treatments that you're doing. And then add in your

691
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: daily rituals. What are your daily rituals going to be.

692
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: When are you going to do your scalp massage? When

693
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: are you going to be oiling your hair every single week?

694
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: Set out times to allocate for these things to happen.

695
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Protect your hair, make sure you're doing all those protective mechanisms.

696
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: Get your silk pillow, have your heat free days. Get

697
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: your hair cut regularly, even if it's small amounts. Do

698
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: not do type buns, just do braids or leave your

699
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: hair loose and flowing. Avoid all those chemicals in the

700
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: products that you don't need.

701
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: Think about what.

702
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: You're eating next, the foods that you're eating.

703
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: Add in your pre and probiotics.

704
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: Eat gut healthy foods that are rich in fiber and

705
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: all the nutrients that you need. Maybe adding those adaptations

706
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: that we spoke about trifila and ashwaganda for your stress

707
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: and your gut issues. Take breaths in between your day

708
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: to reduce your stress levels, to allow your body to

709
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: rest to heal. I really hope that these tips in

710
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: some way do help you. And I know that hair

711
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: loss and hair issues can really knock down your confidence

712
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: and can make you feel so worried.

713
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 2: I've been there.

714
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: But just know that it is a sign and a

715
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: warning your body is giving you. It is almost a

716
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: gift if you will that your body is giving you

717
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: a strong signal that something may not be right. Internally

718
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: or externally or both, so use it as a start

719
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: point to begin exploring your health. It's also a journey

720
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: of trying to see what works for you. Like I said,

721
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: it's an investment of time of energy to figure out

722
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: what is your personal journey that you need to take

723
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: with this. And remember, growth takes time in any area,

724
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: whether it is mindset or your hair, so don't be

725
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: disheartened when things don't happen overnight.

726
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, just remember that you are.

727
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: A bad bee and you are worthy and be beautiful

728
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: regardless of your hair. You're not defined by your hair,

729
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: your nails, or anything else that sits on your body.

730
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: You are you and a change of hair will not

731
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: change that. And I really want you to remember that

732
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: because I know it can be so difficult to go

733
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: through these changes. Sending you so much love, I hope

734
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: this journey goes well for you. I can't wait to

735

Speaker 1: hear if you guys tried this out. And also if
