Hair Loss

[Brian12817]

I'm not sure if your a male or female. I do know that the herb Saw Palmetto works similiarly to the hair loss drug Propecia. If you google "Saw Palmetto +hair loss" it will give you more information. Only take this if you're male because it's for the prostate. Stress is a huuuge factor in hairloss. Take a multivitamin and make sure you get plenty of rest. Zinc and b-vitamins are very good for hair care, just make sure you don't take too much. One thing that I would do is massage your scalp, this will increase blood flow. Not worrying about it is also another possitive thing (which may seem very hard), but worring about it causes stress, stress causes hairloss.. vicious cycle. Good luck!

Yes Stress can cause hairloss along with shredding of the hair.
I spoke to Dr Richard Lee a top hair doctor in LA about this.
He said the hair will grow back, or most of it in 9 months to a year if you get rid of the stress.
So the most important thing is to get rid of the stress.
I agree totally with Brian that when you think to much about a subject, it will lead to stress.
Thats exactly what happened to me.
I guess try to emerce yourself.
Think of something else in your mind, or try doing other things to not think about the subject thats bothering you.

Genetics playe a huge part here. If your mother had thinning hair as she got older...chances are, your going to have it too! I do. I keep my hair very long, just below my butt and at 51, my hair is really thinning in the front. I will eventually have to go to wigs. Sucks!
