Thinning hair

No, I've not found anything, sadly. U hair is just full of wide partings throughout.

A hair topper is my best suggestion, just to cover the issue.

What is a hair topper?

Many medications can exacerbate hair loss. What are you taking?

Many years ago, a hairdresser in Switzerland explained that a daily dose of millet flakes [it's pretty disgusting but seems to work] will prevent further hair loss. I have had very thin, fine hair all my life. Seems to work - have now been taking it +30 years. Obtainable from H+B. If you have further questions, please send a PM.

Do you have thyroid issues? I have lost most of my hair because of that. The menopause can make thin hair worse too. I'm sorry to say that I haven't found anything to help really. I just embrace my baldness!

My daughter has very thin hair, she's suffered since she was in her 20's. I bought her some hair vitamins from Holland and Barratt. They worked really well, I'll see if I can find them on their website

These are the ones

Did they help with regrowth or thickening?and how long did it take please?

A topper is a clip in hairpiece, usually to cover just the crown part of your hair.

If there was a cure woman like Elaine page & Gail Hunniford who both had wonderful thick hair would have used it.
This is an image of Elaine’s hair now.
You can see how thin it is on top.

If it’s a thinning at top/ front it helps to change your hairstyle to the hair coming forward ie fringe.
A good cut makes a significant difference.

We’ve had a good discussion on GN about thinning hair in the past and sadly, it seems as if little can be done to rectify it.
As for hair toppers - there are loads to look at online. Ruth Langsford was quite vocal in confirming she wore one onscreen.

They helped with both Veejay, it took a few weeks to see any difference. She still takes them now, unfortunately she had a tumour in her thyroid gland. She was very young , only 20. That and 2 pregnancies close together, really affected her hair

Thank you. No, I’m not on any medication so not the cause and I already have a fringe.

Been doing some online research and there’s a few things I might try. I’ll look into the vitamins Debbie58 and some other ideas that look hopeful.

Not at the stage where I need a wig or a topper (was that a hair piece in my day?..)

I'm sorry that your daughter had to go through that.i think it would affect anyone on some way
I have tried all sorts.but going to see. a lady who has just started a wig business here about a topper next week.ss unfortunately my hair is thinning badly at the sides now too so can't disguise the crown now by pulling hair across
They cost around £400 for a real hair one
I'm not well off but I will find the money if it makes me feel better
I might try the millet thing.
Will also tellu daughter as hers is thinning too.buy could be menopausal in her case

Has anyone tried Biotin? I have been looking online and a lot recommended it for improvement in hair and nails.
I am using Champo shampoo at the moment which gives the appearance of fuller hair. In my case, I’m sure it hereditary as I can remember my gran having really thin hair. Strangely though both my parents had thick locks !

Low iron levels and low vit B12 can be associated with hair loss. It might be worth having these checked out or getting supplements.

Stress can make hair fall out. I know because it happened to me.

Biotin made me really sick.
From the second it went down, up it came again.

I had high hopes for it, too.

I haven't heard of anyone else having problems with it, though.

I'm 66 and although I don't suffer hairloss my hair is and always has been rather thin(nish). Since newyear I've been using shampoo bars and conditioner bars, and oh miracle, my hair is now much fuller, healthier! Other people notice it too, like my much younger sister,who exclaimed what have you done to your hair to have such a full head! I use Happy Soaps, it's all natural ingredients, my hair is much healthier now and I'm happy because ansolutely no chemicals!

Thank you.
It's always worth trying these things, o think.

Since I began to use plain hot water instead of regular shampoos I have noticed fewer hairs on my comb. I have dry scalp and no dandruff so it's easy for me to stop the shampoo.

I use hair fibres to disguise my thinning hair, I know it's not a cure but it certainly gives you more confidence. I also take Viviscal tablets which I do think has improved my hair as I'm not having to use as much of the hair fibres now!

Best of both worlds here.
The hair I have left is greasy and limp.

Deep joy!

Um... sorry but "natural ingredients" are made of chemicals. Some of them, such as plant perfumes, can be quite toxic on some skins.

Just saying.
