Thinning hair!

'Max active laxative' !

Get your vitamin D levels checked!
I post this on every thinning hair thread (of which there are plenty!)
It's worked a treat for me - but you will need to have a prescription only high loading dose first.

Laxative

So tinytears do you drink the castor oil or rub it on to the desired areas?

Rub it into your scalp, wrap your head in a warm towel for an hour, then wash.
Don't drink it unless you want to spend the next several hours on the Loo, it's a max active!

You can buy biotin supplements but read this first before you spend money:

I had a 1 week course of steroids Prednisone for a bad sinuous infection and 6 weeks later my hair came out in handfuls. Lucky I have v thick hair so was ok GP confirmed it's a known side effect of steroids.

Meant to add, I only wash with organic shampoo and every other wash only use conditioner. As previous poster said, you should be gentle when handing wet hair.

Just before the first Lockdown my hair seemed to be falling out and considerably thinner. I started taking hair skin and nail supplements and Feroglobin. Not to be taken together, so alternate days.
At first I didn’t think much was happening, but gradually my nails improved. In the past month my hair has stopped shedding and new growth has appeared making it visibly thicker. So no quick fix, but I will continue with the supplements.

I am currently using a shampoo by a company called Syoss . Used to be available in Tescos but they have stopped stocking it. Contains caffeine which is supposed to help with hair regrowth. Whatever it certainly plumps up my hair.
There is also several shampoos that contain Biotin, that are supposed to help as well that might be good to try.

Madley When you said your friend wears a topper, I automatically assumed it was a top hat! Then, dying it jet black to match, at 85 years old, didn't sound flattering at all! ???

Have been thinning out in front. Loose too many hairs when washing. Let's know if the caster oil works

I am having this problem too, menopause related but also hereditary so had been expecting this tbh. I have tried every shampoo and treatment going, as a pp mentioned some of the dry shampoos do help a little but tend to make my scalp itch unfortunately. The latest trend is for castor oil which apparently is known for healthy hair and regrowth including eyebrows and eyelashes. Have just received my order of Pukka organic castor oil so will give this a go in the hope that I have found the holy grail!!

try caffeine shampoo, works for many, the longer you leave it on the better.

A friend of 85 has thinning hair on the crown and has been wearing a topper for a couple of years now and loves it. She colours her own hair to match. I think it's by Balmain. It has small clips to attach to your own hair. It certainly makes her look younger and she feels so much better, too.

I’m 63 and have had a similar problem for at least two years. My hair was never thick only fine and wavy/curly.
I recommend trying the following things
Olaplex 3 Is worth a shot, it’s really helped me.
NEVER use a heated appliance just let your hair dry naturally
Also NEVER use a normal towel on your hair as the rubbing makes the hair fall out even more. Instead try squeezing it in an old t shirt then using one of those micro fibre turbans to wrap it in for a few minutes before letting it dry naturally
Centre partings are a No No
Dry shampoo used sparingly along the parting helps

Hope at least some of these help
