However, certain medical conditions, like iron deficiency, can push hair follicles into the telogen phase. When more hair follicles enter the resting phase simultaneously, hair falls out but doesn't grow back in, leading to hair thinning and more noticeable hair loss. Remember, a medical expert, such as a doctor, is best equipped to help you find the information and care you need. This information does not constitute medical advice or diagnosis. Vitamin D deficiency can cause hair loss because low levels of vitamin D can lead to an insufficient supply of cells. Vitamin D receptors play a role in the anagen phase of the hair follicle cycle, the phase when new hairs grow from the follicle to their full length.

1 Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering" (NKJV). These products and vitamins are my personal clientele favorites; keep in mind there are millions of products and vitamins available. If what I am mentioning is not available where you are, google “products similar to xy&z.”

Scalp stimulators are excellent but they do pose a problem; the liquid is water-based. Because of this, I encourage these to be used the 2nd week for straight and silk-pressed styles and often while wearing braids or protective styles.

Vitamin D deficiency is also associated with scarring alopecia and male pattern baldness.

So, how can you tell if you suffer from one or both of these deficiencies? Make your annual physical appointment and ask your General Practitioner to test not only for iron levels but also for vitamin D. I do not believe in self-diagnosis or relying on past testing results; with age, diet, and stress levels, things change. This is why physicals are done annually. It is the top of the year; let's begin it right. So next, I want to get into my favorite hair care products and the most popular vitamins that my clients invest in for their skin, hair, and nail health. These 3 shampoo and conditioner sets are part of my back bar product suite at the salon. One of the reasons I love having a rotation of 3 is so that the body does not become used to one individual product, but the most important reason is due to availability. After COVID, product shortages and discontinuations became a real thing. If I only had one product that I knew of and used, I would be limited as a stylist. Each set is great and provides real results, but I mix the conditioners with a rich hydrating conditioner because African American hair generally requires more moisture than these conditioners alone offer. The shampoo is used after my first shampoo that is cleansing; I want to be sure that the hair is clean of product buildup so the specialty shampoo can penetrate and nourish the scalp and hair.

Vitamins can be tricky, especially if you already take medication, have a sensitive stomach, and or are pregnant. Consulting your general Dr. is always my advice before incorporating a new vitamin into your diet. These are client favorites; if you can’t take pills, gummies are the go-to and they taste good too. Just like the shampoo and conditioner, I encourage a rotation about every two months to switch to a different brand. This keeps your body guessing and gives maximum benefit in my opinion.
