You don't need to take hair-growth supplements unless you have alopecia. If you do suffer from alopecia, you may need to look into a biotin and/or zinc supplement. But I recommend getting your blood levels checked for this micronutrients, before supplementation.

I highly recommend using a filter on your shower head (or a whole home water filtration system), which removes chlorine from your water. Chlorine can be extremely drying to your skin and hair and can fade color fast!

Thank you Sophie, lots of good information!
Thank you!
Amazing compact information, thank you Sophie and I have just subscribed your lovely channel x
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Tons of great info!! Love the "what to eat"! Very helpful. Question: what do you do with your hair at night? I've been tying mine up with a gentle hair tie and sleeping on a silk pillowcase for years, but now I'm getting breakage.
I sleep on a silk pillowcase, and I use a hair mask regularly!
What do you use for the waves in your hair? I use the bogavia products. Do you recommend a heat tool that doesn’t harm hair? Blessings!
I love your videos thank you for sharing this wonderful information
Glad you like them!
Thanks so much for all this beautiful information! Very much appreciated! How often do you color your hair?
Thank you Sophie! Very informative. How do you feel about taking Sawpalmetto?
It's super helpful for some!
Very good video ! Love you Sophie !!!
Thanks Carmen!
You look terrific! Thank you for all your helpful tips! I use ground flax seed in my smoothies as well. Love it.
Wonderful!
Thank you Sophie I love watching your very helpful posts . You are so uplifting to watch ❤️I had a problem with hair loss while going through menopause but luckily I had an amazing doctor that suggested Saw Palmetto which helps to suppress the male hormone that takes over ,and it worked !! My thinning temple’s all grew back amazing 😃hopefully this can help other women in the same situation I’m now 64 and have the thickest hair I’ve ever had
I take saw palmetto too. How much do you take daily? I take 540 milligrams daily.

@@kevywilliams3304 Why do we need to be careful with spinach?
Thank you.
Greetings, I really enjoyed and educated myself through your awesome informative video. I have long hair and recently my hair is thinking. I will be follow up on your tips. Your hair is beautiful ☺️
Thanks for sharing!!
Great in information. Thank you What food will you recommend for low T 3?
Seaweed!!!
Naira Muradyan anything with iodine, seaweed is awesome, BUT if you’re taking synthroid, as I am, please consult with your doctor before taking any supplement with iodine .
Thanks for all you do. I'm dealing with hair loss and I'm 38 I do have the balding patches you speak of and the doctor are running test as we speak. I'm sure it Alopecia and I'm rather stressed about it and that wont help either. 😥😭😢. I'm going to do all you spoke about. I got the eating down I just need to buy the better product for shampooing and conditioning. I'm going to start the essential oils tomorrow on payday. Everything is so expensive. Thanks again pretty lady.
Tiffani, I hope this helps!
Sophie, have you had a chance to try the Plaine Products shampoo/conditioner?
I haven't!
What do you think of Tree to Tub for fuller hair?? Great video by the way! ❤️
Have never tried it. If you try it, let us know!
Wow! What a complete one! Thank you so much!
I must say that i have tried one time the coconut oil mask and it was so hard to rinse...
I will never do it again.
I will try those essentials oils with argan oil maybe...
Yes - you do have to give it a very good TWO shampoos. And maybe just for the ends. But Argan with those oils can work well too.
I do oil mask 2 times a week, the key is to first put very few water on your hair, just lather shampoo everywhere, then you can rince. It's difficult to rince oil if you put too much water first because it doesn't mix together
i don't see the list of essential oils or the link for the peppermint essential oil. How much should be used to massage in?
I would like to get long thick healthy hair. Please tell me your shampoo recipe and how to make it. Will try it
Sophie, how come ground flaxseed hurts my bowel ie it gets upset.
Hi thNk you for utube for us older ladies. I'm $74 and have always worn my hair at least three inches below shoulder and bleached must be bleached as I don't like grey at all ! If you can give more tips
Sophie, would you post the link about soy? Thank you.
Here you go nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-eat-soy/
Love your videos! I have to say that I know that some of the brands listed as non-toxic under the at home hair dyes are not non-toxic. Naturtint, Herbatint & Tints of Nature all contain PPD's which are carcinogenic. There may be others on your list that do too (but since I am not an expert, just a somewhat informed consumer who tries to be as natural as possible I don't have complete knowledge). Logona is good though, it's all natural with no PPD's. Same with Light Mountain which is pure plant powders. Hope I don't offend, just trying to help. Thanks!
Thanks so much. I think the chemicals you are referring too can cause sensitization, contact dermatitis and allergies in some. I will look into the ingredients in the 3 you mentioned, and add other PPD-free brands. At this point, these ingredients are not "known" carcinogens.
@@sophieuliano7955 thank you, this will help so many!
Hi. Didn't see your beans for healthy hair dye listed?
I make my own shampoo and use essential oils for my conditioner. I am seeing slight positive results and am very happy with it. I am over 50 and looking for ways to improve my health and still work at my school with teens. Yikes! But I love what I do and I follow you regularly. Thanks for sharing!
Janet - totally impressed with you making your own shampoo. And I love that you are focused on improving your health while being SO busy!
Very good video so useful.just wonder if you know why the pancreas can produce too much insulin and I have got long term low bloodsugar.some say its because one eat too much fat.like too much nuts.or that one has too choose to be high in fruits,berries or high in nuts,seeds not both because this can happen. with pancreas and low bloodsugar long term and too much insulin,have no thyroid
Thank you for the useful information! I don't see the link for "who shouldn't eat soy" video??
yikes - forgot to add. Here you go nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-eat-soy/
EVERYONE should avoid Soy! It is sprayed with Glyphosate (RoundUp) which is a mitochondrial disruptor.
@@lmariew And mostly GM
I'm 61 and I have too much air and I'm so thankful to God for that love your channel
Ohhhh - look at you! Lucky you!
Wish I had!
Hello Sophie, I just subscribed to your site. How can I get : "who shouldn't eat soy products", thank you, Cloti
You are sooooo adorable! I am young and cannot even grow thick healthy hair. it has always broken off when it gets above the shoulders. :/
Love you
You inspired me to do my channel have common content but in arabic
Wonderful!!!!
Hi Sophie, what do you recommend for Seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp. I’m in Australia
As I'm not a dermatologist, it's a tough one. But you could try massaging a little coconut oil with lavender into your scalp. It's often a symptom of other inflammation in the body, so you want to check that you are eating an anti-inflammatory diet. Check out my video on what I eat to stay slim and healthy (cos this is totally anti-inflammatory).
I went very low carb/keto and my life long exempt/psoriasis went away
Fabulous.
Thank you!
If I've used regular hair dyes is it ok to switch to the non toxic ones you mentioned? I heard it can cause more damage to mix them
I've never had any experience mixing dyes, Angela. This might be a good question for a stylist or colorist!
I use DpHUE root touch up and love it.
Oh yessss- thanks for reminding me about this product. I will add it to my list in the description.
Unfortunately, the root touch up has Resorcinol and Phenylenediamine, two really nasty chemicals
Erika McCann thanks for the info. Oh, boy, what should I use for root touch up that is also high quality?
@@annamariabiro4089 It's a real dilemma for as the only true chemical free hair color is henna based, which is fine if you want to be brunette or red but I don't. I've done a ton of research and there isn't a hair color that is truly PPD (and it's other forms) and resorcinol free. The two chemicals we need to stay away from as they are carcinogenic. What I do (unfortunately) is use Naturtint, which still has PPD but I don't use it less than every 6-8 weeks, using root powders in between to color gray. I also have highlights on top at the salon which doesn't touch my scalp so it's better. We have to pick our battles and vanity wins out on this one sadly!
What about flax seed oil
I love your videos 😊
But because of kidney failure I have to be careful with flax seed, avocado and nuts.
But I will try out some of the products. 😊
Thank you!
I’m so glad I discovered you! I love your videos and Instagram! Do you practice nutrition in LA? About thicker hair-would these tips help someone (me!) who didn’t have such thick lustrous hair to begin with? I’m doing everything on your list! What about the genetic factor?
I wish I'd said this in the video. I think it only accounts for a tiny bit. My Mum has the thinnest hair on earth, and my dad is bald!!
They must be so jealous of your hair- or maybe they’re happy that it possibly skipped a generation! Since your tips were plantbased I posted the video on my Facebook for Vegan American Princess!
@@ellenfrancis7155 Thanks so much Ellen. And yes my Mum is VERY jealous.
I am curious with you being a nutritionist why are you didn’t mention biotin or collagen? Is it because you are vegan? Great video. Will add flaxseed to my, which I have heard for years, and look into Cria.
I don't mind biotin or vegan/plant-based collagen, but I think they're talked about a lot.
Nothing has worked for me. I did hair transplant 2012, I've done minoxidil,laser comb, laser helmet, I tried viviscal,, saw palmetto,biotin, fish oil, collagen, curcumin in pepper, hrt since 2020. I eat one egg almost daily, fish few times a week,variety nuts, legumes n grains Lots fruits n veggies daily. No alcohol, I never smoked. I exercise daily. After menopause arrived my hair fell in chunks but my mom in her 70s has her thick hair of her youth. Mine is genetic. Ugghh thinking of shaving what's let's off. Thx
Have you ever heard of Maine's and tail shampoo and conditioner my mother and grandmother used to use that on are hair my hair was thick and long was small ,think I'll try that again
Yes I have. Not sure about the ingredients in it. But if it worked for your family, you should totally use it.
I remember when a girl and I went back in the 90s to buy it before it was being sold in stores for that. I think we went to a horse supply store. Lol
yeah actually you could buy it from those stores and it's for dogs and cats too but have you ever seen a bald dog cat horse other than the ones that was born bald, my brother brought that to my attention so if it works for them and work for people hair it works for us LOL 😁
Could you add products available in the UK, please?
So many have asked, that I am about to!
I love Rahua - but it is expensive. That said, LOVE www.cultbeauty.co.uk/rahua-volumizing-shampoo.html
Thank you SO much for replying, Sophie! Off to buy... Also, do you think any supplements are actually worth it, too (I've had a complete vitamin B suggested)? Or will that be a separate video? xx
Fab video but we can’t get Bogavia in theUK. Any recommendations for older bleached long hair in the United Kingdom.
Claire - check out some of the hair dye brands I listed and see if they sell in the UK. Also see if a brand of hair care called Davines is in the UK
What are alternatives for hair color?
If you want color, check out the brands that I've listed in the description
Henna is my first choice
Are the hair care products you mentioned cruelty free?
As far as I know, yes!
Thank you Sophie! That was excellent advice, who knew about peppermint for the hair! Could you please make a video on professional teeth whitening? I’m 46 and my teeth are getting a darker shade, even though I do occasionally use turmeric or charcoal as a natural whitening, thank you! X
Tooth powder brand: My Magic Mud
Sure!
Hi Sophie
Lovely and inspirational video thank you . Just getting a little confused by the recommendations of Biotin. Some articles such as Lisa Fogarty in U.S. Harpers Bazaar May 2019 (which I found online ) suggest it's not that effective. Which I have to say is very disappointing! What do you think? I'm still very much following your healthy Biotin food ideas eating lots of spinach walnuts pumpkin seed etc.
Sally Stacey Xxx
I have done so much research on biotin. My final conclusion for now is that most of us don't need to supplement with it. The exception would be those with alopecia, who have a diagnosed deficiency. Always better to get it from foods. And beans contain biotin - yayyyyy!
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen Thank you for your help. Sally x
you should try Paul Mitchell tea tree thickening shampoo and conditioner...it has totally revitalized my hair and made it thicker and softer....I swear by that stuff!
Teresa check out Paul Mitchell's lemon sage products, it's my favourite conditioner.
I will look into this!
Can you offer a guideline for what one might consider as 'within normal range' for hair shedding? Does the change of seasons ever affect hair? Thanks Sophie! xo
Hmmm - as I'm not a hair stylist or dermatologist, I would just be making a guess as to what is "normal". Abnormal for me is when I NOTICE more hair loss.
What do you think of amla powder for hair?
Amla powder has SO MANY health benefits. It can't harm. I eat it everyday!
I meant tried not tired
I have no thyroid.So I got thinning eyebrows and thinning hair,and bad skin
My hairdresser here in the UK uses Affinage to colour my hair do you know this brand? I suppose I find a lot of the recommendations are US based as that is where you live. Difficult for us to get here in the UK have you thought of recommending a UK version or one that you approve of here?
Hi I live in Ireland and I know the Josh wood colour hasn't got any ammonia in it. You can get it in boots
I have just had so many questions about UK brands, that this is a great comment. I will try to check out Affinage.

Hi Sophie I love your information. I just need to know what is good for freezing hair. Presently I was in a diet and lost lots of wait and also hair too and I got freezing hair. Please let me konw what should I do? Thank you so much for your respond. Love you❤
My hairdresser uses Aveda colour and products. My hair does feel in very good condition.
Just a 30 year old watching videos of women in their 50s haha I think it's important to know now what to do in order to be as beautiful and healthy as you 20 years from now!
Julie this is SO wonderful to hear!!
Doesn’t flax seed raise estrogen and mess with hormones?
no it does not!
Yes it does, not to mention that seed oils are inflammatory. Better to source your DHA through oysters or sea food.
lmariew there is a reason they say limit your seafood intake during pregnancy..,now it's all farmed and full of chemicals ,plant based is the best way to go.
Lisa Gardner well, according To menopause Barbie who is a retired on/gyn , it’s an excellent item to consume in menopause. And in menopause, you have very low estrogen, so phytoestrogens that raise estrogen, on a weak level, are actually a good thing (in perimenopause, estrogen is very high but it drops dramatically in menopause, which is why many women take HRT (ie estrogen therapy) to treat hot flashes. I’ve been reading up... a LOT, I’m in perimenopause and have no symptoms, if I do, I may try black cohosh but my sister takes estrogen therapy for severe hot flashes. Hope that’s helpful 😊
lmariew no Sophie is correct. That’s a misconception. It’s not the latest research.
I tired to go on line with her she told me I cannot use my iPhone
What if no one have money to get a laptop, iPhone is the same
Great and informative video. However, what do you think about essential oils and fragrance being an irritant? My dermatologist told me to stay away from essential oils on the body/face/hair because they can be irritating and or/trigger irritation with other ingredients.
I don't personally find them to be irritating at all. But everyone is different, and thusly, it's a good idea to do a little patch test on your wrist before using.
Kim Cristo it depends upon your skin type but more importantly, the essential oil and it’s strength. For example, I put a few drops of peppermint oil on my scalp and it feels wonderful, but I wouldn’t apply it to my face. I use tea tree oil, but very very sparingly, in a face product .
Thank you Sophia :-) By the way I recently lost a lot of weight by eating an avacodo a day , they really keep the hunger away for most of the day as do portabello mushrooms fried in a small amount of real butter !
Yep, I love avocados and mushrooms. I fry mine in a little expeller-pressed oil.
youre soooo beautiful inside and out💕
What a lovely thing to say - thank you:-)
Sophie Uliano ❤️❤️❤️
I believe all the hair colors listed above, with the exception of the semi permanent, have the really nasty ingredient which is PPD or PTD. May brands are trying to push PTD as being better that PPD but it's just as dangerous. It's a real dilemma as I don't want to have gray hair.....
Thanks so much for pointing this out Erika. I am adding some PTD-free brands to the list. Keep in mind that it's not necessarily "dangerous", and many use PTD without any problems. The risk is an allergic reaction and extreme sensitivity. And if that is you, then you may want to look at a different brand, such as this one bit.ly/359Y8vc

I thought hair thickness was mostly genetic
Not at all. My mum has VERY thin hair, and my dad is bald!
The thickness declines as your hormone decline. (This is also why our hair is so beautiful when we are pregnant. Sooooo many hormones telling our body to grow!)
@@SophieUlianoGorgeouslyGreen this gives me hope
Great channel but not helpful if you live in the UK to obtain these products
healthy hair by dyeing it so blond? Is this healthy?
Grassfed bef liver !!!
I have Hashimotos so I can’t eat soy or beans in any form at all and not potatoes!
Why not potatoes?
Sophie Uliano Because of the starches!
But I think more info is maybe needed here... That answer was a bit short and do not explain anything 😁 When you have Hashimoto’s (an autoimmune disease) you are aware that nightshades are the worst trigger for flares. They’re often associated with joint pain, and they’re avoided on the autoimmune protocol for their tendency to cause inflammation! And with the “luck” of getting one autoimmune disease you many times get other secondary autoimmune diseases as a “present” so you have to take very good care of what you consume and also live a healthy lifestyle!
Nightshades are:
Tomatoes, Potatoes, Peppers, Eggplants, Goji berries!
And also potato has lots of starches that trigger insulin spike (as I also have diabetes and fatty liver! And a lot of other health challenges!) So that’s why potato’s is a no, no ..... 👍
I have no thyroid so when they removed it.I got a lot of hairloss.I am vegan
Yes, unfortunately Marie, this is a symptom. Eat tons of Omega 3 fatty acids as outlined in the video!
You lost your thyroid because of B12 deficiency. This is a HUGE issue with women, esp. vegan and vegetarian women that is largely ignored by the medical community (and nutritionists). You likely have chronic systemic inflammation due to the connection between B12 and homocysteine. (If you are of UK/Irish/German descent, you have a +40% likelihood of an MTHFR defect.)
An un-supplemented vegan or vegetarian diet is not complete. PERIOD. (I say this as a recovering vegetarian as I was one for +30 years.) As you age your GI's efficiency decreases, so you become more and more depleted, esp. if you don't eat RED meats. Lots of good info here for addressing inflammation and immunity (auto-immune issues start in the Gut.) justmeat.co/
@@lmariew thanks ,I live in sweden and had thyroidcancer
