I mean i have really thick hair, so its not like i cant spare a few strands, but this is starting to worry me.can anyone give me some advice on what hair products to use, or anything? thanks!

Answer 1

The hair loss treatments outlined here cannot provide definitive cures for all hair loss conditions, but they do represent regimes that many sufferers have found useful. In other words, they are examples of potential solutions that many patients have chosen after honestly assessing the causes of their hair loss together with their expectations.

This article will focus on four basic approaches:

1. A drugs based approach for those who don't mind taking strong medications.

2. A commercial product approach for those who prefer a non-drug solution but who still want a treatment that has a track record.

3. A natural remedy approach for those who prefer to follow the natural route.

4. A nutritional approach for those who wish to adopt a more holistic perspective.

It remains a fact that only two hair loss treatments have been approved by the FDA and both can be classed as strong drug-based medications. Propecia (finasteride) is the treatment of choice for many men with good reason - it tends to work! It is a powerful drug that inhibits the formation of DHT in the system, eventually to a level that is sufficiently low to encourage a normal growth cycle. Rogaine (minoxidil) acts differently in that it stimulates hair growth in both men and women by overriding the prevailing hair loss symptoms. These drugs can be used either on their own or in combination. Women should seek professional medical advice before using Propecia.

The world of commercial hair loss products is much less clear cut and it is here that many scamsters ply their trade to rip-off unsuspecting customers. The best advice I can give here is research, research, and more research! Many useful products are available on the market but none have been approved by the FDA. Probably the best, and certainly most popular, commercially available products are those containing natural ingredients that have been shown in field trials to reduce hair loss and encourage regrowth. You can find out more about these products by visiting the site listed at the end of this article.

Increasingly, people are turning to natural hair loss remedies as they seek to combat thinning hair. This has an obvious appeal for many sufferers and there is growing evidence to support the view that some natural remedies may be effective in curtailing hair loss. The most popular ingredients of natural hair loss treatments include ginko biloba, green tea, he shou wu, pygeum, saw palmetto and stinging nettle. Each of these is described in more detail in an supplementary article entitled "Herbal Remedies That Offer Hope".

It is becoming increasingly evident that poor nutrition and modern lifestyles can have a negative impact on health, and hair loss is no exception. At the most basic level, improved nutrition can minimize shedding and support other treatments that encourage regrowth. This can be achieved by:




eating adequate amounts of protein.


eating appropriate levels of useful carbohydrates.


achieving a healthy balance of dietary fats.

First, make sure you don't have any medical problems, such as thyroid cancer, which can cause hair loss. If medical issues are not the cause of your hair loss, I swear by a vitamin called Maxi-hair by Country Life. My hairdresser suggested it after he noticed my hair was thinning. He uses it himself. At first, I thought it was bunk. About 3 weeks into using the vitamin, I started noticing that there was a lot less hair in the shower and on the floor. This product has literally saved my hair. Recently, I recommended Maxi-Hair to a friend who had started to lose more than the usual amount of hair. She literally calls me on a regular bases just to say thanks for turning her on to it. I don't work for Country Life but I wish I could do a commercial for Maxi Hair. I absolutely love the product. You can find it at Whole Foods and at many health food stores. It's cheap, so if it doesn't work out for you, you won't feel like you have been ripped off. Good luck

P.S. The vitamins are big and don't taste that great, so take it with food.

You need to check with your doctor about another type of birth control. If that is when you noticed it then you should get your doctor to change you to something else. Several other types of meds will cause hair loss. Ask you doctor. Stress will cause major hair loss. Before you start buying expensive, maybe unnecessary hair products find the cause of the hair loss first.
