Help, My Hair is Falling out!!! - Hair Problems Message Board

My hair is so super thin. When I brush it, clumps of hair fall out. I tried Rogaine, useless. What is there? Does it work? Need help please.

How long did you use rogaine for?

Are you male? female?

You need to give Rogaine at least 6-8 months to judge its effectiveness.

I'm a female, and I used it for a long time. I remember reading that it does take 6-8 months, so I followed those directions.

Hi~
I have also been losing my hair recently and I'm only 23. I used to have very thick hair and now it's very thin. I, also, have clumps of it fall out in the shower and when I brush it. I had a baby a few months ago and have heard it could be caused by that. Another thing that can cause hair loss is an underactive thyroid. There is some sort of shampoo that my friend told me about that can help. I can't remember the name of it, but you can get it at most salons. I'm going to give it a try.
Good luck~
Hilery

Thanks Hilery79, but I'm 18 and my thyroid is fine. I had it checked. My doc sent me to a skin/hair specialist, and that bonehead said he doesn't know what it can be.He made me take so many tests it's not funny. They all came out fine. AHHHHHH! I hate losing my hair! I am so embarrassed!
