Information On » Female Hairloss….. Experience, Suggestions, Treatment That -411
I’m a white 21 y/o female. I’ve had fine, straight hair my whole life, and in the past couple years its been progressively thinning out. I’ve seen a dermatologist several times, and he’s said that it’s probably alopecia. He recommended Rogaine but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews on it (like if you stop taking it all your hair falls out, or you can be allergic and have worse hair loss from just one treatment!?!?), so I’ve been too scared to try it. My hair is noticeably thinned out on my crown and above my temples…..
So much so that the only way I wear my hair is with a little puff up top (thank god that’s in style at least) or else if I just leave it parted I look sickly.
SO….
ANY advice? Experiences? Forums/websites that might be helpful? And please Please let there be somebody who knows of something that will actually work to help regrow my hair or at least keep what I have. I can’t afford surgery/laser treatments.
If this gets much worse I’m just going to ask for wigs for christmas this year….
Thank you for the advice all. I take a multivitamin, biotin, vit. E, and B complex daily. I’ve been taking the biotin and vit. E for maybe a year or so, but haven’t seen any effect other than my nails grow insanely and are super hard (which is awesome). I’m going to go explore the ethnic hair isle tomorrow and try to find that balm, and I’ll be trying the olive oil. I use John Freida shampoo, but I’m thinking I might need to shell out for Biolage(sp?) or something higher end that my barber recommends. I’ve never thought of wrapping my hair at night, but it does make sense that it would help keep it from breaking.
Does anybody know anything about Rogaine though? Should I just avoid it?
