Hairloss

[Gendoyle]

Well... I'm shedding, all over my body. This happened last time and I went off. I really don't want to go off again. I am 31 years old, lost 50 pounds, my thyroid is fine, my hormones are fine... and I am taking many daily vitamins. Any ideas???

Re: Hairloss

I thought my hair was falling out faster than normal (not positive though since I never tracked it before), but after about a week of clean eating, with lots of fat and lots of fish (omega 3s and 6s), plus vitamins (chromium, l-carnitine, l-glutamine, and a regular multivitamin), it seems to have balanced out. Not sure if it's the same for you. Oh, I also stopped wearing my hair in a ponytail so much.

Re: Hairloss

I'm losing mine too and I cry whenever I look in the mirror. Losing it right above my bangs.... ugh!

My doctor said it could be a dermatology problem or... just hereditary.
I discovered mine is hereditary. If it gets much worse I'll just buy a cute wig and be glad it isn't something more serious.

I bought Nioxin shampoo and conditioner at Super Cuts and that works great for hiding it.

Here is a thread on this issue, and there is a good link about shedding during weight loss in one of the messages.

It will grow back.

Re: Hairloss

Get your vitamins.. In men it comes down to heredity..we have to live with it.. in women..well..they grow back..hehehehe..
But, hairloss due to diet is a reversible procedure..they grow back eventually

Re: Hairloss

If we only knew which type we have.

I bought BioSil at the Health Store... it's very expensive. It's $23 for 30 and they want you to take two a day. I only take one. It's too expensive! It doesn't have any B vitamins in it but the clerk said women have had success with it. I'll let you know.

Re: Hairloss

is BioSil a multivitamin pill? it is rare to find a bald woman, who blames it to heredity. For men, is most of the cases..

Re: Hairloss

oHHHHH yes! Women do get bald. There is a lady working in a store in town who only has hair on the sides all around her head. I thought she was a man... she isn't. I saw another such woman recently too. It seems it is no longer uncommon to find a bald woman. My hairdresser said she has quite a few women who wear hair pieces and wigs. Sometimes it is meds but male-pattern baldness hits women too.
Google it.

BioSil isn't a vitamin it contains: Silicon; ORTHOSILICIC aCID. AND microcrystalline Cellulose,Choline Chloride,
Purified water,ORTHOSILICIC aCID.

Re: Hairloss

Yes..male patter baldness for women happens but not that common.. it is a recessive trait genetically and that woman usually hits the jackpot with that..well, with so many women been around, it becomes less rare to see one..
I ll check about the BioSil..

It's not just with men, women can have the hereditary one...I have it ;-)

For me, it grows back thinner and since 10 years ago I lost an inch from my hairline. I can't tie my hair up because you can see my scalp.

I've seen omega oils recommended here..will that help if it's hereditary?
