my mom had thyroid cancer and had it removed about 6 years ago.

what kind of medicine are you taking?

her hair fell out also but only for a short time. and it took about 3 years for her hair to actually start growing again. now its finally long and she has no more problems.

she is at work right now sorry i don’t have a better answer ill talk to her and repost something.

Question by pat: Has anyone had experience with something called Biofen for reducing hair loss ?
It contains stuff like :
fenugreek seed extract, saw palmetto berry extract and flax lignans.

Is this stuff effective ?

Best answer:

Answer by LA
There are severeal forms of baldenss. If it is male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) then the hairloss cannot be fully cured in most cases, but just frozen for some time with the treatments availiable on market today.

1) Hair transplant (FUE technology) creates really natural hairline, no scars, the best way to go if you have enough donor hair and money of course.

2. Propecia (Finasteride) and Minoxidil are the only ones approved by FDA and proven to work in most men so far.

Generic Propecia (finasteride) is also ok. I use it with same results, and unfortunately same sides(a bit dry feeling in the scalp) as brand propecia. Have tried lots of herbal crap before it and laser combs, so far the only thing that prevents my hairloss, not much regrowth, but has stopped my hairloss completely.
I buy from this pharmacy for the last 2 years – http://www.savemoneyrx.net/generic_propecia.html . It is under $ 1 per pill as I buy the 90 pills. (89$ for 90)

Question by ValentinaQuinn: Female Hairloss….. Experience, suggestions, treatment that WORKS to regrow hair????!!!!?!?!?
I’m a white 21 y/o female. I’ve had fine, straight hair my whole life, and in the past couple years its been progressively thinning out. I’ve seen a dermatologist several times, and he’s said that it’s probably alopecia. He recommended Rogaine but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews on it (like if you stop taking it all your hair falls out, or you can be allergic and have worse hair loss from just one treatment!?!?), so I’ve been too scared to try it. My hair is noticeably thinned out on my crown and above my temples…..
So much so that the only way I wear my hair is with a little puff up top (thank god that’s in style at least) or else if I just leave it parted I look sickly.

SO….
ANY advice? Experiences? Forums/websites that might be helpful? And please Please let there be somebody who knows of something that will actually work to help regrow my hair or at least keep what I have. I can’t afford surgery/laser treatments.
If this gets much worse I’m just going to ask for wigs for christmas this year….
Thank you for the advice all. I take a multivitamin, biotin, vit. E, and B complex daily. I’ve been taking the biotin and vit. E for maybe a year or so, but haven’t seen any effect other than my nails grow insanely and are super hard (which is awesome). I’m going to go explore the ethnic hair isle tomorrow and try to find that balm, and I’ll be trying the olive oil. I use John Freida shampoo, but I’m thinking I might need to shell out for Biolage(sp?) or something higher end that my barber recommends. I’ve never thought of wrapping my hair at night, but it does make sense that it would help keep it from breaking.

Does anybody know anything about Rogaine though? Should I just avoid it?

Best answer:

Answer by Paramedic Girl
I have thin, fine hair myself.

First, don’t use cheap shampoos and conditioners. Find ones that are made from natural products. They won’t damage your hair further.

Watch what you eat. Diet plays a role, so make sure you are eating right.

Watch what hair products you use. Meaning gels, mousses, and even hair clips and ties. Using those often enough can damage your hair.

Massage your scalp gently when you wash your hair. Only use a comb, not brush when it wet and try to let it dry naturally as often as you can.

Lastly, go to a health food store. There is a product called Florasil which is partly made up of Silica. It will help hair grow and is safe to use. As well, make sure you take a daily vitamin.

What do you think? Answer below!
