Female hair loss.

I couldn't read the names of the colours!

Bouffe has its own Facebook page, though it's not terribly informative - there's a clip of it being used on Good Morning which might be quite interesting if it didn't cut off before the finished result is seen.

I'm not happy to see that there's no auburn variety - I may have to rethink my hair colour choices if it proves to be any good!

I hope it works for you Tegan

Ah! Just read elsewhere that Bouffe will be in the shops on 6th August.

I don't know if it's widely available yet - had a look on Boots website and all Bouffe products are out of stock, more stock coming soon.

Annoyingly I was in Boots yesterday. I'm definately going to give it a go, Katy, especially as the main reason I've let my hair go white is that I thought it would be easier to match colours to if I found a way of making my hair appear fuller.

that lovely hairdresser on This Morning was recommending Bouffe. I would be interested to know if it works.

...well, I'm going to risk it. Watch this space ....

Ok, just trying to be helpful
I have far more than my fair share of hair, for which I am very grateful.

I've seen that sort of thing on utube and also on one of the shopping channels. Knowing me I'll probably find I'm allergic to it and when I wash it out what little hair I have got comes off with it....

Sounds very similar to the one for men, which always makes me think of that stuff you used to be able to get to spray on vases etc. to give them that 'flock' look so popular in wallpapers of that era!

Have any of you seen the advert that was in Saturdays DM I think, for a spray on product called Bouffe?

Just been through the papers but I can't find it, anyway it's coming soon to Boots, here's the link, www.boots.com/en/Bouffe-hair-thickening-spray-black-200ml_1519244/

Ps. Not an enticing name is it?

That's what I'm looking for yulle; still haven't found the time to go to a specialist shop though.

All these comments make me feel a lot better. I am 87 and just beginning to see a small bald spot on top of my head. As I have very fine hair I am looking for a small hairpiece set on a hair band to get some volume, but hairpieces are usually made of a lot of thick heavy hair. Where do you find one made of fine hair? Probably not possible, so maybe I should just be grateful for what I have got. Anyway, should I be so vain at my age? The trouble is that like many of you I don't feel a day over - say 65.

My mum started losing her hair in her mid 30s.
And now she has reached the grand age of 70 she is more or less bald.
I can remember the attempts she made in the early days to save what hair she had.
But it was all in vain, because it all fell out regardless of the treatments etc etc that she paid to have by various people.
Now she resorts to wearing a wig, and she even wears it when she is home.
I assume that is because she still finds it difficult to accept that her hair fell out?
I think hair loss Is harder for females to come to terms with than males?
I started losing my hair in my mid 20s.
In fact I can still remember the day I went to have my hair cut and the barber noticed what was then a small bald patch starting to appear on the crown of my head.
And so he told me that within a few years I would be bald.
I was 17 years old at the time and so that came as a real shock to me.
And because I have always been very shy, it made me even more shy and I started getting anxious about it.
I endured much teasing from my the people I hung around with during that time.
But it still took me a very long time before I finally learned to accept my hair loss.
Now I can face people with covering up my bald head.
whereas back in the early 1980s, baldness was something teenagers People seemed embarrassed about.
whereas These days baldness seems to be "cool" and accepted.

I have fabulous, thick, lustrous, blonde hair..... unfortunately it isn't my own Well I did pay for it so I suppose it is my own.............

WHAT !!!!

Oh, Nonu...sigh!

What on earth is the German lesbian look ?

I meet lots of Germans in Mauritius and they don"t seem to sport it !!

I haven't heard of the German lesbian look before. Quite funny.
You made me realise that thinning hair isn't a good look, when you can see your scalp showing through. So Grey or White it has to be.
Fortunately I am not quite there yet.
I have a friend who has very short thin hair, and dies it Black. The back view looks awful, especially when it needs washing. I would like to tell her, but I know how upset she would be.

newgran!

I am 62 and have never had what you would call thick hair, but it thinned markedly after the birth of each of my two children. It never recovered and has become much worse since the menopause. There isn't a cure, but my advice would be to go as short as you dare: the German lesbian look isn't for everyone, but a good cut and a bit of hair wax go a long way. Also, going grey or white helps, too.

Does anyone out there have experience of hair loss, due to medication 'Ramipril'. I believe it has a reported side effect.
I have until a year ago had a good head of hair, but the rate it is falling out I am surprised I am not nearly bald.
At the mo I still have 'enough'

It's the front part of my hair that's the worst so, although I have a fringe there, it's very sparse. It's not too bad at the back [at least I don't think it is; I can't really see it]. Coolgran; no offence taken at all; I'm still planning to look at wigs but, like hjw I get very hot just wearing a hat.

hjw my hair has gone the same way as yours so I have a fringe which I don't think really suits me. In the last few years I have lost about an inch and a half from my hairline at the front and the skin there is very white and feels different. Like you, I think about QE1 who I think had the same.
