My hair is thinning, especially my bangs.What can I do? I'm also growing more hair on my face and I'm female!

Question

I have an autoimmune condition and a seizure disorder. I'm not taking any meds for 2 years now. I used to have really nice, thick hair and big bushy bangs. Now they're so thin they barely cover my forehead!
Can anyone recommend a particular product that could help stop the loss and perhaps even regrow hair? Is there some common medical condition that causes hairloss on your head and hair growth on your face? Thank goodness it's blond but I still need to wax most of my face and I'm getting tired of all the maintenance.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Rather than trying to find a product to help regrow hair, you first need to have your condition properly diagnosed. You may have a treatable hormone problem and be able to reverse the symptoms if treated soon enough.

For example, the symptoms you describe occur in polycystic ovarian syndrome, where too many male hormones are present. (The hair that is blonde now may get thicker and darker with time if not treated.) Not the only condition, of course, but certainly one that fits. Some autoimmune diseases can involve hair loss, so you mght need to check for that condition becoming more active. Hair loss and abnormal hair growth can also occur from some antiseizure meds as well.

Whatever the cause, drugs like topical minoxidil can work for women as well as men, although not guaranteed. But you really need to have some tests done to see if your hormones are what's gone haywire and if they can be corrected.

Hi, I'm so sorry for what you're going through, but unfortunately, there is no product that regrows hair. WIth an autoimmune disorder, your hair follicles have entered a 'resting phase' , and will not produce new hair. There isn't anything that is going to help with that besides medicinal management of your condition. You are going to have to make a tough decision.. medicate your illness or suffer hair loss. I'm so sorry. I know why you don't want to medicate, and it sucks that you're suffering from that choice.

In reference to your facial hair, your body is just producing too much testosterone, and the only thing that you will be able to do is manage it the way men do. You will have to shave/ wax periodically.. or if you want something more permanent, there is laser hair removal.
