Starting point is 00:00:22 free of charge. BetMGEMGEMP operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. Now I would like to come on to a new section, which is buy or buy. I'm excited for this one. Yeah. So would you buy this product in the shop or would you say goodbye to it? So first up, we have biotin supplements. That's going to have to be a bye-bye.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Bye-bye. It's a bye-bye. What is your opinion on biotin supplements? Tell me more. So I think a lot of people take. them for hair, but actually they're doing nothing for your hair. So yeah, I mean, unless you have a biotin deficiency, which is actually incredibly rare, taking a biotin supplement isn't going to help your hair to grow or strengthen your hair in any way. And actually, what we know about it is
Starting point is 00:01:15 it can actually impact some of your other blood test results. So things like Hewotroponi, which is like a heart marker can be something that can be impacted with biotin. So it's never usually something that I recommend in clinic to take. So I would say save your money. This spring, denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg. A new fit that moves with you. It's everything you want denim to feel like for summer. Easy, breathable and effortlessly cool.
Starting point is 00:01:44 With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming. Plus, that signature, wait, for this price? Moment. Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg. And I also think these are gummies. And I would just, gummies, guys, just never, I don't know if you disagree. I just would never recommend a gummy. It's just all sugar or sweetener rather than the actual vitamin anyway.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm not a gummy ban either. Next up, we have Dercos anti-dandruff shampoo. That's a buy. Bye. Yeah, I would spend my money on that. I think it's a great shampoo if you're somebody that's got off dry, flaky scalp, or you were experiencing dandruff. Yeah, it's got sort of like an antifungal ingredient in there
Starting point is 00:02:29 and it's one I actually recommend quite a lot in clinic. So that one's a yes. Nice. That was from my personal stash. So I'm glad to hear that. Next we have just regular, schmegular dry shampoo. I mean, I'm not mad at it. It's not a, it could be either.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I would, you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with using dry shampoo. If you're doing it, you're using it in the right way. Like it's not a substitute for skipping hair wash. It's probably the most important thing to say. But if you're in a pinch, he has a little bit greasy. You want a bit of a fresh up. I think it's fine here and there. You have posted some absolutely revolutionary tips for greasy haired girls
Starting point is 00:03:08 because I'm a greasy hair girl. And some of your, and I cannot wait to come on for your top tips because genuinely I was a huge dry shampoo user before I implemented a lot of the things that you recommend. So we'll come on to that. Yeah, we'll come on to that. Yeah, we'll come on to that. But okay, next we have E425 dry scalp shampoo. I would say bye.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Bye. Yeah. I mean, you can't go wrong with that. I think especially for somebody that's got like a sensitive scalp, you've got X-Melt or psoriasis. It's just such a good affordable drugstore option. So I would say bye. So good for the sensitive, dry. Yeah, dry, sensitive scalp.
Starting point is 00:03:48 It doesn't have fragrance in there. So it's a good one. Perfect. Okay. next we have coconut miracle oil the OGX by a hundred times and what's why I think it's it's honestly a really great formulation because I think coconut oil like obviously you can buy sort of raw coconut oil and you can melt it down you can put into your hair but it's like it's such a fath to use but I just think this particular formulation is so nice on the hair like if you're somebody that has like dry
Starting point is 00:04:20 hair, you want to improve sort of like the hydration of your hair, like the silkeness of it, coconut oil has just got so much evidence behind it for the hair shaft. So you can use it as like a pre-wash treatment or you could apply it a tiny bit after you've washed your hair. So I think it's, it's a really great product. I also didn't realize there's some research for coconut oil on your scalp for yeast. Yes. It can be helpful. It can be helpful. And actually it's interesting because coconut oil, I mean, we don't, in clinic, we probably don't recommend the branded stuff, like as often. But for somebody that's got psoriasis, we always say if you've got a thick, you know, scale on your scalp, you do like an overnight coconut oil hair mask. So like literally focusing on your scalp, carpet with coconut oil, it softens all that scale down and you can, you can comb it out.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And it means that when you then kind of go in with like your psoriasis scalp treatment, like the next day, it's going to be able to get in there because you don't then have all of it. that scale. So that's like a top. Seriocyst if anyone has scalp sorrisis. Brilliant. Last one. Niseral, the Keiz Connozol, Kissel shampoo. Yeah, definite buy. Not just the hair, I would say. I mean, I really feel like she's the girl that can do it all. I feel like she's got so many benefits. When it comes to sort of hair, Nisrael does have a D.HT blocking properties. So, and there's research behind that and studies as well. So as part of like an overall routine for having like, a healthy scalp and if you're worried about thinning hair, it's one that I would definitely include in my routine sort of like twice a week. But it's also good for like tinia vass
Starting point is 00:05:55 colour, fungal infections, fungal acne, like I mean the list goes on. So definite buy. A lot of the time I have to use this in summer when I'm in a bikini and my skin is moist and I just get those patches, right? The patches. Like would show up like when you've got a tan and you get those light patches. Yeah, that is, that is amazing for that. Perfect. That was also from my personal stash.
