Thinning Hair

[frizzy]

I have thinning hair. It's most noticeable on the top. I try to poof it up a bit to give it some volume but clearly you can see where it's thinning. Has anyone used any of those Rogaine products?

A friend of mine used it. it was expensive and it only works as long as you keep it up. I would say implants have better chance of staying longer.

Implants? I don't think I'll try that. It sounds expensive and don't really know what to expect with this procedure. Maybe someone out there has had this done?

Have you tried not washing your hair as often or trimming your ends more often. I'm not sure if that would help, but it wouldn't be expensive at least.

Hi frizzy,

Sorry to hear your hair is thinning. Is it in your part? If you part your hair in the exact same place all the time, it can cause the part to widen and hair loss in the middle of that part. Move the part around.

And keep that scalp stimulated by brushing your hair especailly in this area. This is a crucial step to take for anyone with this problem and it is also inexpensive.

Is it in one spot like the crown? or Where? Is the scalp red there?

It also depends on your *** and general age bracket too as to how you can be advised. Talking to your doctor is a discreet step to take. Or with your stylist. I realize all this is a sensitive subject for many to share here.

It COULD mean that you are having an allergic reaction to shampoo or another hair care product. Did you just start using a new shampoo or hair spray or other? Does it itch? For it could be the beginnings of dandruff.
