I'm loosing a lot of hair recently and I was wondering if anyone has tried any products, conditioners or oils in the store that have helped with that? I've read the other posts and have started taking a multi-vitamin, and also a vitamin supplement just for hair. But I am looking for good products to put directly on my head/hair.

Your best regimen for hairloss:
- Propecia
- Nizoral shampoo
- minoxodil

Problems could be elsewhere; but if DHT is wreaking havoc on your system; you can't beat the above treatment

I don't know of any products or anything about hair loss but maybe just searching on the internet for stuff about hair loss could help you, or you could go see your doctor.

I wasn't sure if you are male/female, but if you are female and the hair loss is related to a drop in hormone levels due to age, you can try a multivitamin distributed by GNC (Hair/Skin/Nails for Women) or a similar product that contains evening primose or bayberry extracts, along with B-vitamins. I noticed hair thinning/loss starting at around age 35 and began taking these vitamins and within about 2 months time, I noticed a slow down in the number of hairs lost per day. I also began to take note that at certain times of the month, the loss was greater or less than at other times, which confirmed my belief that the cause was hormone-related. You can find many many articles on the Internet concerning this topic and I advise you do the research since there could be so many causes and if you inform yourself before a visit to your doctor, you'll have a better visit with her/him to discuss this problem (which you should do if you're that concerned). If medical help is not available to you, definitely try a multivitamin made specifically for women (or men ,if you're a man) and give it a good few months before deciding if it has made any difference. Good luck to you!

I hear NIOXIN is the best for hairloss. But it depends on the reason for your hairloss. I did try Nioxin but it didn't work for me but my condition was more based on stress and thyroid problems. Its a little pricy about 15 US dollars per bottle at a hair salon but it supposedly works.
