Hey everyone! Helen here. I’m about to divulge all my secrets on taking care of my hair in one spot. Some of you may know that I was the creator behind the Shrimpy McGee channel for 5 years, where weekly I created content mostly about using Rogaine and minoxidil, testing shampoos and serums, trying out hair toppers and lots of other fun stuff.

I made 450+ videos! So if you started watching one per day today, it would take you well over a year to watch them all. I stopped video-creating on YouTube, and you can read why here. 

All of this hair care info is available through my YouTube channel for now, so if you have the time and interest, eventually you’ll get up to speed. However if you want the Cliff notes version, I’ve put a HUGE guide together for my paid subscribers. Not a paying subscriber yet? If you sign up for $5 a month or $50 a year, you’ll get 

-INSTANT access to this article

-Personalized answers to any questions you have, either if you post here or if you want to email me privately

-None of those annoying, intrusive ads you see on every recipe and blog

You will also get FULL access to these locked articles:
