So many reasons why you have hair loss:





Supplements, steroids, hereditary,hair dyes perming, straightening, medications, and too much of everything. Add to that the 7,000 + toxics found in your home, plus pollution found outdoors. Your body is crying for help!





They also say you normally lose 100-200 hair a day, but I don't. I lose about 7-8 every time I brush it, so that's about 100 per week, give or take.





The majority of hair problems here are from girls in their 30s, asking how to care for their damaged hair, what product to make their hair grow, why their hair falls out, and why their shampoo or conditioner don't work. Women between 60-80 have that same problem, but it took them years to get there. And those same 30 %26amp; under girls are giving advice here? Go figure!





Even the cheapest shampoo can do magic for your hair, so it must be what you're doing AFTER you wash it.





You can grow hair down to your feet, if it's healthy and you're eating healthy foods.





If it's hereditary, they say by 50, nearly 85 percent of men will have visibly thinner hair. About 40 percent of people with hair loss are females.Female Hair Loss Question?
WOW ok that previous post is BS.


Here's the deal, Rogaine is only for men and will cause many problems for women, we aren't allowed to use it in a salon because of the risks.


- over the counter products may just be blocking your follicles causing them to give up. in this case go to the next step.


- If you want a product that will help with re-growing hair is Nioxin, we do use this in salons on women but talk to your doctor before you do anything else.


- I can't see your scalp so I really can't say what exactly will fix it and I'm going to assume that you have tried all other avenues if you are using Rogain.


- Your doctor should be able to give you answers but hair loss for that long should be check by someone with a P.H.D. in medicine!


( I don't mean to freak you out but I don't want you to go with the crap some people suggest and end up loosing more hair!)
Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.

Here a few simple home remedies which can be tried at home to control hair fall.





1.Rinse your hair with a mix of apple cider vinegar and sage tea this helps hair grow..





2. A medicine rich in sulfur is also recommended as sulfur plays an important part in the structure of the hair.





3. Massage with olive oil before going to bed at night and next morning, wash off the hair gently..





4. To treat hair loss apply a little lemon juice with some black tea.Massage well and shampoo.





5. Beat two eggs,and add two tablespoons of water to it. Rinse hair and pour the egg mixture over the hair.Massage the scalp well and leave for 10 minutes.Then wash it.
Females can have hair loss because of -wait for it- HAIR STRAIGHTENING!!!!! But if that's not the case it could also be because of the chemicals in your shampoo, My mum was losing hair so she started using all these organic shampoos and her hair has grown back. And the cause of your hair could also be because of stress, so relax and take it easy :)
no worries


just get one of those head scarfs to wear

people will think you have cancer and will be nice to you and tip better


you dont have to worry so much about styling it in the morning


you dont have to worry about it getting wind blown or wet or frizzed


see! really a blessing in disquise!
Gosh, I can't believe the first answer from the 'main contributor' has to brag about how good their hair is to someone that is losing theirs. That's tactless.
Heredity, hormones, stress, diet, illness, poor hair care – all are factors in hair loss.





Stress, diet and illness are more temporary conditions and usually the hair loss is reversed when the anxiety-producing conditions dissipate, when the diet is improved, when hair care improves and when an illness is cured or gotten under control.





Heredity and hormones are different matters, however. Heredity is an irreversible condition. You are a product of your parents, and hair loss is often inherited. Hormones are tricky, hidden things, however, and they have different effects on an individual basis.





In a male, testosterone abides abundantly. There are also enzymes working on testosterone which product a substance called DHT. DHT is now known to circulate in the blood and cause other conditions, one of which is the shrinking of hair follicles. When hair follicles shrink enough, they are unable to produce and push a new hair through. As old hair dies, it is then not replaced.





In women, hormonal imbalances can also cause hair loss. Pregnancy, childbirth and menopause all cause significant hormonal change and imbalances with both physical and mental effects. These changes can also cause hair loss, both temporary and permanent.





Hair loss and re-growth products have been around for centuries. In ancient times, a variety of herbal and oil-based remedies were concocted and used by Egyptians, Aztecs, Mayans, and American Indians, all with some degree of effectiveness for some people. Modern medical research has focused on ways to re-open and stimulate “dead” hair follicles, so that hair growth can re-occur naturally, as well as keep the healthy follicles healthy. Thus, a number of products have become available, both by prescription and over-the-counter. They are advertised on radio and television and all over the Internet. One need only do a “google” search on hair loss, and there are literally thousands of sites and products for investigation.





One ingredient in many hair loss products is minoxidil. Research studies have shown that in about 80% of the participants, products containing this ingredient are effective in slowing hair loss and, in some, causing re-growth to occur.





Probably the most well known is Rogaine, available at any drug store, in varieties for both men and women. Most scientifically-produced products do have separate products for males and females, because, of course, hormones in each are different and of different levels.





An additional product containing minoxidil is Provillus, and, again, studies have shown it to be effective. The difference between Provillus and other similar products is that the makes have added Azelaic Acid, an additional ingredient which appears to enhance the follicle repair in both men and women. Provillus has been the subject of many studies, just as the other products, and level of effectiveness may be higher.





Provillus is available for both men and women, and the treatment is a combination of a topical liquid applied to the balding areas, as well as a pill or capsule to be taken in conjunction with the liquid. The critical key to effectiveness, according to its makers, is the addition of the azelaic acid, however, the correct amount of this acid is most important piece of this treatment.





As with most hair loss products, the makers recommend patience. It may take from 3-6 months for improvement to occur, however, there is a money-back guarantee up to 180 days if one is not satisfied that it is working for him/her.





Medical research is far from finished in its exploration of products which will stop hair loss and promote re-growth of “permanent” loss. As this research continues, existing producers will undoubtedly alter their products accordingly.





Fortunately, a lot of money is being poured into the research, so hair loss sufferers, take heart!
