Hair loss

(1/1)

Blythe:
Just for background I am on 1.5mg sandrena, few days of Utrogestan and recent introduction of Testogel.

I have had hair fall for around yr and now finding it quite distressing as it is noticeably much thinner all round. One side thinner than other which makes me think I should invest in an expensive silk pillow
Case.

Any product recommendations or tips gratefully received?

VioletAquarius:
Firstly, have you had any tests to see if you are deficient in anything?, for example, biotin.

I can't recommend any silk pillowcases unfortunately, but don't sleep with wet hair if you are doing.

Biotin supplements can help hair growth, so can collagen [powder], and rubbing rosemary oil into the scalp.

CLKD:
Last night I read of a product 'proven' to help reduce hair loss.  If I haven't thrown the article into the recycling bin, I'll let you know. 

Blythe:
Thank you both. I am taking high dose biotin and collagen peptides but it has not had an effect. The hair loss has been increasing. I will just up the dosage perhaps.

My nails are much stronger.

I will look at rosemary oil. Thanks again

Just the cheaper silk pillowcase will help - if you have long hair also only ever tie loosely. Biotin helped me - but it was very slow before I noticed. But my hairdresser did the checking. Also worth a conversation with your hairdresser on anything they recommend.
