Hello me again :P
Just wondering if you ladies have any tips or products you can recommend for hairloss/alopecia?
I suffer from this and whenever I wash my hair I lose alot of hair. I have been to the DR and he just told me to stop stressing and it will go away. But stressing is what I am good at!
So far I have lost about 3/4 of my hair, its not very noticeable as I had ALOT of hair.
I have taken vitamins, tried fancy $50 a bottle shampoo and a leave in treatmeant but it hasnt helped.
Have any of you suffrered from this before? If so got any tips? :)

Alopecia/ Hairloss

My best friend has alopecia. This won't make you happy but she has lost all her hair. Slowly, but now everything is gone, it started with hairloss, when it became visible she used hairties with some hair attached to it, while doctors were trying to figure out what's going on. From doctors to doctors, it was all so stressful, no one knew what to do about it, she tried everything, of course. Nothing has helped. Now she's wearing wigs. Also she hasn't got any eyebrows or eyelashes and not much hair on her body at all either. She draws her eyebrows every morning, but doesn't do anything about the eyelashes, she wears make-up and she's still beautiful, she has learnt to cope with it. Her older sister has the same thing though, none of them had any promlems up until turning 17-18 maybe.
I don't think it's because of stress, to be honest.

Susilia,
I don't have alopecia but I can really relate to girls with no eyelashes since I've had trich. It took a real dent in my confidence when I hit my preteens and it took many years to regain it. There are makeup techniques and tricks to make it less obvious, I've never worn falsies though. And it wasn't till a few years ago that I could go out without makeup. That's why I really admire women who are still confident despite suffering alopecia or trich. It's like they have this inner strength that they don't need hair (what's beautiful in society everywhere) to be beautiful because they already are and they don't need other people's stamp of approval to confirm that. They really are comfortable in their own skin.
There are falsies that are discreet and designed for people with alopecia or trich.

Natz,
Please don't be to over paranoid about it and don't over think it. It may just be your hair going through its hair growth cycles.
If it is making you paranoid there are some shampoo and conditioner products to help take the everyday toxins that end up in your hair away. And it may not happen straight away, you will need to use them everyday or at least 3 months. In some cases if you do stop using them your hair will thin out again.
There is also dust like products the cling to your hair and make it look thicker with more body and hide the scalp a bit more.
Hope I have sort of helped and I'd love to know how it's going and if you do try something new, let us know how that goes as well.

Go to a doctor with some experience with hairloss, lots of types of alopecia, but none that beauty products are going to help with get medical assistance. Me I have androgen alopecia, tried beauty products for a couple of years and my hair kept falling out and getting finer, finally I went to a doctor and pressed for further investigation. Now I take an antiandrogen birth conrol pill and some medication, this has certainly slowed the process. The medical route was so much cheaper and also effective. If you have real alopecia you are wasting your time with beauty products.
There are several types of alopecia, so can be helped some cannot, you need to firstly to find out what your type is.

Hi Natz
I really feel your pain with hair loss. My hair fell out after each of my pregnancies (3) on both sides of my head near my temples. It is to this day really thin 21 years later. I've tried different products to thicken it up but nothing as worked although I have never had medical help.
I personally do believe it can be stress - my daughter was seriously ill when she was 9 and when she was on the road to recovery her hair which was very thick fell out by the handful. Her ponytail was reduced to being as thick as my finger whereas it had been almost as thick as my wrist. It took about a year for it to get back to normal.
