00:08 Tia Paul here to share some education around hair loss,
00:12 tips to keep your hair healthy, you know, stay away from that
00:15 hotel shampoo. Tip number one. Thank you for having me. Let's
00:22 talk about hair loss. So, the most common question at what
00:25 causes hair loss. There are different types. Let's start
00:27 with telogen effluvium which is this type of hair loss that
00:30 essentially is excessive hair shedding. It can happen after
00:33 any major stress in life such as childbirth or even after loss
00:37 of a lot of weight or recent illness. The good thing is it's
00:41 temporary. Then, the other most common type of hair loss is
00:44 called androgenetic alopecia. This is the one that runs in
00:47 the family. In men, you typically see male pattern,
00:50 baldness, or hair thinning along the crown of the head and
00:53 then receding hairline and in women, you see the hair
00:56 thinning along the part as well as the crown of the head. Next,
01:00 it comes to is men equally or is men and women equally prone
01:05 to hair loss? Well, studies have shown that not about thirty
01:09 to sixty percent of women can actually experience hair loss
01:13 at some point in their life by the age of fifty. So, what are
01:16 some hair solutions that we can use for hair loss? So, number
01:20 one, boost your vitamin intake. There are hair growth
01:23 supplements. I like the Viviscal Hair Growth Supplement
01:26 that actually is recommended by dermatologists across the
01:28 country because it's backed up by clinical evidence. It's made
01:32 of Aminomar which is a proprietary marine collagen
01:35 complex along with the other key vitamins that's shown to
01:38 promote hair growth within three months. It's also a
01:40 hundred percent drug-free formula that helps with help a
01:43 hair diameter as well as the hair shedding. Next up, also
01:47 important to nourish your hair from within. Eating a diet
01:50 that's rich in protein can help with hair growth. How about
01:53 your hair care routine? So, it's important to wash your
01:57 hair ideally every other day if possible to avoid dirty scalp
02:00 that can cause itching and irritation. Next, use a shampoo
02:04 and conditioner such as the Viviscal Thickening Shampoo and
02:07 Strengthening Conditioner that is formulated with keratin and
02:10 fortified with marine collagen and seaweed extract. Next up is
02:14 to incorporate a scalp scrub such as the Viviscal
02:16 Exfoliating Scalp Scrub which you could use once a week and
02:20 help exfoliate and get rid of dead skin. Finally, using a
02:23 thickening serum such as the Viviscal Thickening Serum that
02:26 can also hydrate the hair itself. And you can get more
