As some of you all know, I have been dealing with alopecia since I was 21 years old. I am about to be 29 in July and to this day no one has been able to tell me exactly what is the cause of the alopecia or how to treat it. It has been the most annoying and emotionally tumultuous roller coaster ride in my life honestly. I have looked high and low for a solution to my problem and I have not been able to find anything that truly works , or that is healthy for me. I started going to the dermatologist as soon as the issue began and first they prescribed a strange cream to put on the spots that would appear, but it was so greasy and it just ended up making my hair fall out worse. The next thing the dermatologist tried was giving me corticosteroid injections on my scalp, I would have to go every three months and get at least 20 injections at a time. That method worked somewhat, but it was extremely painful and it was not really the healthiest thing. The latest thing I tried, and spent thousands of dollars on, was laser hair therapy. I would have to go twice a week for thirty minutes and sit in a chair while the red laser lights soaked up in my scalp in addition to taking vitamins that the doctor prescribed and applying minoxidil on the spots twice a day. The laser hair therapy seemed to be working but when I asked the doctor what he would recommend after the six month treatment was over, I was a little disappointed to hear that if I chose to discontinue the treatment then all of the progress I made would go back to square one. I was devastated because it seemed like I had finally found the remedy to my problems but I did not want to keep applying minoxidil to my scalp because there are harmful chemicals in there that can really cause some harm in the long run. Plus, going to the doctor twice a week with two toddlers is definitely not easy so I decided to quit the treatment when the six months were over, and as expected, a BUNCH of my hair fell out.
I was back to being depressed and felt like there was no way out of this. Well, one day I was scrolling through instagram and I came across a post that claimed to be selling ‘real organic’ hair products. I had a heart full of doubt but I decided to explore the page a bit more and was very pleased with what I saw. It seemed too good to be true but I sent the user a direct message and told her about my situation and asked about her products. Her name is Clarissa and she was so nice and attentive to me, she took the time to explain to me in detail what each of her products was for and exactly what ingredients went into making each product. She was very authentic and honest about her products and she had plenty of before and after pictures on her page, I felt safe and determined to give her products a try. Clarissa is from New York City and she started her business from the ground up in the midst of the COVID pandemic, she has the best heart and she has a true passion for what she does; truly inspiring! Her business also offers amazing, organic bars of soap that help with any skin issues that you may have. Acne? No problem. stretch marks or dark spots? She has it all! Clarissa always takes the time to respond to whatever question I may have and I have come to see her as a friend and a gift from above because her hair products are actually 100 percent organic and they have helped my hair incredibly. My hair has never felt or looked healthier and it does not fall out anywhere as much as it used to. All of my spots have little baby hairs growing in them and I honestly have not been happier with my hair since this whole nightmare began.
