What do you consider expensive?   Sometimes it seems that 1-off payment is HUGE but I have to remember that I am buying something that I will often use.  i.e. shoes [I hate shoe/slipper shopping  ].   It might be worth while seeking advice, 1 doesn't have to buy anything after all.  How about extensions? this may have been suggested already  .

Some of the toppers are real hair,but usually dead straight, and the real hair wigs were sometimes into the high hundreds,
The fake hair ones looked fake and good ones were still in the hundreds,and more than i can afford
I have thought bout exyensions, but it has never been suggested
I might look into that

[CLKD]

Usually good quality wigs can be styled - do look at Trevor's web-site.  If you have a medical condition you may be able to get some help with funding.

[CLKD]

Where they fitted professionally?  What were they made of?   Were they air conditioned, apparently some wigs are so hot that they are soon put to one side 

[CLKD]

tnx.  I had forgotten about that condition.  So far my hair has remained thick though shampoo makes it lank for a few days however much I rinse. 

[Pennyfarthing]

Just had a shower and a thought occurred to me.  maybe it's the Touch of Silver shampoo and conditioner that I've been using since I decided to stop colouring my hair that's making my hair thinner.

I didn't use it this morning so will see how it goes.

You can buy Volume Powder for hair now. Don't  know if anyone's seen it.
You just apply it to your roots and hey presto.
Schwarzkopf do one, and it's only about ?3 for a small bottle.

I bought a can of similar stuff jillydoll and it does improve the volume but I didn't like the feel of it in my hair.  i have seen the powder too.

This  is for Jaypo.

Saw my cousin today and asked about her 'topper?.  her condition is female something or  other and is the equivalent of male baldness.  She said she went to Ipswich for her current one but is not happy with it. I told her I would never have known if she hadn't told me about it last time we met so she was pleased.  She was in a hurry but as far as I can make out she was referred by NHS but she has to pay.

meanwhile, I have today bought volumising shampoo and separate conditioner and will see how that goes.  I never ever thought my hair would go thin, I have always had loads of hair but I think it's a combination of stress over the last few years with Mum and my own fault for always having it tied up on top of my head.

stellajane,i asked at Holland and Barratt about Collagen and was told it might improve hair that is alreay there but wont help it grow,
I have Biotin, but it seems to help my hair grow longer, but doesn't help with thickness or growth
Can't wait to see the Dermatologist next week, but doubt if he can tell me anything new
Better than Drs though
My daughter has developed a kind of patchy rash,which 2 Drs told her was ringworm ,i googled it and didn't look anything like ringworm to me, it doesn't itch .but is spreading,she saw the Derm,today and he said it is definitely not ringworm, he did say what ,but she can't remember
Makes you wonder sometimes what else Drs get wrong

[CLKD]

Not many GPs would see ring worm these days

I can't find anything easy to read about collagen treatment + NHS

Hair is keratin and many treatment to bind proteins are not close enough to the scalp to be of any use in encouraging hair regeneration.

Does collagen thicken hair?:

An abundant protein -
It is mostly found in fibrous tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and skin. ... Collagen is found in the skin tissue surrounding the hair follicle. A number of studies have found that during anagen (growth) stage of the hair follicle, amount of collagen surrounding the hair bulb thickens and increases.   There is no evidence that collagen treatment will improve hair growth

[jaycee]

The only reason i asked at H&A was because i read that it does help, anyway didn't bother even trying
There are lots of videos on youtube about what helps hair regrowth, and i read on a hair loss forum that Rosemary oil does,
Also saw some shampoo, for horses with Rosemary oil in it

[CLKD]

For horses.  Maybe dilute it a lot first ?  caravosa ? is often advertised in the Shooting Times etc., supposed to help hair growth in scabby animals

The collagen seems to be working for me. I've been taking it for about 6 months now.

It's stopped my hair from falling out at the rate it was before. That's a very noticeable difference.

Also had people commenting on how shiny it is.
