Female pattern hair loss accelerating. Any tips on how to manage this?

I used to have the thickest of dark glossy hair, but as I’ve grown older I’ve lost quite a bit. To make matters worse, I have a naturally high forehead. I wash my hair every 3rd day with a thickening shampoo and then use root lifting spray before I blowdry. A few years ago, due to stress, I developed alopaecia areata. That was so hard. I used a spray that created something resembling hair - was really good .
I know you don’t like dyeing your hair, but grey doesn’t suit me at all and I find that the day I colour my hair, it looks thicker. So I’ve decided to colour it every 3 weeks. I’ve read that the non-peroxide ones don’t do much harm. Don’t worry. Your hair dresser will probably advise you,better than I can. Good luck !

I would if you can afford it see a hair loss specialist, my other advice would be to look into wigs. They are very realistic now and comfortable. Many celebs use them so they don’t have to dye their hair etc constantly, but equally ordinary women wear them too, because of alopecia or hair loss during hormonal fluctuations.

A student of mine lost most of her hair in her 30s. She always wore a headscarf, turban or hat and looked very good. Other people just assumed that she covered her head for religious reasons.

I’m over 65 and use Regaine. I asked my doctor about it and she said as I didn’t have blood pressure problems she thought it was ok for me to use it given that it was just topical. I just buy it off the internet so I don’t have to speak to the pharmacist. Might be worth just trying it. I do have a wig as well but don’t go anywhere these days so I don’t bother with it. Worth seeing a hair specialist if you can, though.

My hair was falling out visibly, I asked my hairdresser, when we were able to see one, she recommended Plantur 42 shampoo and conditioner, it is quite expensive but i was willing to try anything. I must say over the last few months I've noticed a big difference.
I'm no longer picking hairs off my shoulders and the best proof is the shower waste no longer gets clogged with hair.

I've lost most of my hair at the front and top because of a thyroid condition. You should get checked out just in case.

I seemed to be losing patches of eyelashes, and was recommended Lecithin (from any health food shop). Eyelashes improved a bit, but what was noticeable was the huge improvement in my fingernails!
Worth a try?

I'm just going to wear a buff thingy (modern take on hijabs?) on my head if I bald too much. Can't arsed with hair faff and "product".

And as for going to hairdressers.... nah.... except in emergencies like two years ago (just before first lockdown) when I broke my shoulder and had my hair cut v short. I've let it grow and nowadays I plait it. So easy and I can still wear buff thingies and/or hats without spoiling my style (such as it is ?)!

I do think a good cut can make all the difference,the front of my hair right on the hair line had started to thin just on one side and I had a fringe cut in which made a huge difference,the rest of my hair has grown as usual for some reason and is still quite thick and down to my waist I have been using thickening shampoo&conditioner for fine hair with some success.

I have posted before about my thinning hair, not much at the front but from the crown down
Saw a dermatologist who said it was stress related and would grow back, it hasn't and i have tried Dermovate he prescribed me,didn't work,
I have been using Regaine for about 12 months now,that hasn't worked either
I am over 65 and had no bad side effects,except a bit of itchy scalp sometimes
I am on my last bottle of Regaine now,it is too expensive to use and not work,
I buy it from Ebay or Amazon,
The rest of my hair is still quite thick, and looking at me from the front ,no one would believe what the back is like

age and winter. My silver hair has felt progressively thinner, no point tooking back to my thick glossy dark hair from my childhood. My hairdresser was scissor happy 3 months ago, also was having trouble with her new glasses, honestly. I had the minimum off last time while I grew some more length

I always use gentle, non,-nasty shampoo and a small bit of conditioner just on the ends. I have come to accept my thin hair and am going back to my hairdresser today with a printed picture, short again but taking my straight fine hair into account and hoping to end up whispy and to the sides, while over my ears a bit and gradually getting rid of my fringe

It is mostly to do with hormones, sigh, part of geting old. Happens gradually

If there was a cure for this thinning hair women like Gloria Hunniford and Elaine Paige would be using it.
Both these women had amazing hair, look at them now.
I’m more interested in what’s causing it. Look at the amount of young women around who have this thinning hair
