Hi all, I have been trying to find something as awesome as the aveda humectant pomade for years> i can’t use aveda hair products because i am allergice and get skin rashes. But, it kept my thick curly hair under control! Any advice on what to use? I have supershort, curly, thick hair. Thanks!

I was in a severe auto accident 18 months ago, and have been taking heavy narcotics since that time. I had back surgery almost a year ago, and have had complications from that surgery. I have had no choice but to be on these narcotics, because of the unbearable pain. I have gone through about 10 outpatient procedures since the back surgery. In a couple of days, they are going to surgically implant a pain pump, and I will be taken off most of the narcotics. Even with that, I will be getting morphine through the pump. My hair became very thin, and now I notice my hair is coming out in the shower, in the bed, all the time. I can run my hands through it, and come up with about 20 strands of hair. I used to have beautiful, thick hair and now, I almost have nothing left. Is there anything I can do? I am a woman, so I really don’t want to be bald. I don’t want to resort to wearing a wig, because they look so fake. Any products out there to stop hair from falling out? Help me!

I went to see a hair restoration doc one time who used a densitometer to measure the density of my hairs and assured me that I exhibited very early signs of hair thinning and some loss. He put me on propecia but the question is…the derm/trichologist/physians that I have seen have never heard of densitometry, one derm knew but he told me that it is only an art and is not to be completely trusted. He assured me that we all lose hair density as we grow older and just because we lose some hair density and some miniaturization but it does not mean we should take propecia especially since he thought my hair density was normal and I had a full head of thick hair still. He felt I should take it when I exhibit observable loss. It seems these derms don’t really buy into the art of hair densitometry. Have you ever heard of this densitometer/densitometry? Would you trust it or should I just follow the derm’s advice. I’m 26 and I still have a full head of hair just a little thin on the sides
btw…both my grandfathers (mom/dad’s side) had hair…my father thinned and had hair loss starting at age 46, his little brother went bald before his 20’s.

the instructions say to:
"Use once a week to infuse dry, damaged hair with the look of health. Apply to hair starting at the roots and work toward tips. Let treatment work for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. For hair that’s moisturized and healthy-looking, use with Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Dry to Moisturized™ Shampoo and Conditioner."
it doesn’t say to use it on wet or dry hair..

does anyone know? or does it really matter if its wet or dry..?
thx

I have medium thick hair, but if I put it in a ponytail it crimps really bad and pin-curls= Shirley Temple. How do you get that Mira Sorvino-in-the-Replacement-Killers volume?

3 parts please

1. How much is average hair loss per day?
2. How much is average hair growth (not length, but actual follicles coming new out of scalp)?
3. Between the two, more than average hair loss and average hair regrowth, will I be going bald or noticeably thin hair and how quick?

Also, are circumstances different for hair falling out from root or just breaking off along the shaft? Thanks…I have had beautiful thick hair all my life and I don’t want to lose it due to some stupid thermal straightening perm which I now regret.

I have had Meme silicon implants for almost 20 years now. I just keep thinking, "something is not right". I used to have very thick hair and I’ve lost a ton of it. I don’t have enough energy to get through the day. I’m almost 55, but I don’t think I sould feel this off.

I was born with very fine, thin hair unfortunately. Now that I’m older it really bothers me.Since I never had thick hair does this mean I was born without hair follicles? I have bald spots and I am very self conscious about my hair. In the near future once i’m out of college I am looking into hair implants or other solutions…can anyone give me any tips or advice on what to do? I have tried many products and different syling techniques and nothing seems to work, i want permanent solutions!

I m a man in his mid-20s, with thick hair. I have lately observed in my shower that i have a lot of hair fall off, when i shampoo. I have counted this, and this is atleast 30 stands of hair. At other times, when I play with my hair, unconciously, i seem to pull another 10 strands of hairs or more. This has never happened to me, so far. I m used to having stronger hair. I m worried that i m going to go bald, like my friends in their mid-20s. Btw, I m on depakote 250 mg, which is a very low dose, compared to 1250 mgs that is normally prescribed. What complicates the issue is that i have a maternal grandfather, which is bald. However, both my parents, including my mom, have heathy hair. For more information, my mom’s sister also has heathy hair. Is this something to worry about? Should i cut my hair short? Will it solve the problem? Or should I try a good shampoo?

Please help i usually have really thick hair but have noticed hand fulls in the bath, on my clothes etc since giving birth to my son 4 months ago. It is now very thin around the hairline and looks almost like it is receeding at the temples! I really cant stand the thought of loseing more! Please help!

Ok so I’m 17 and no one in my family is bald, but i fear that I am still going bald. I look at old pictures of me when i use to have short hair and i had full thick hair and now I have long hair it seems very thin and when i look in to my scalp i can see it and my hairs are practically counted. What can I do or buy to stop this before it gets even worse?

i had long, thick hair and now it has been cut in order for it to be thick again! also let me know where it comes from if a herbal remedy.PLEASE HELP.

I am a 19 year old female and have been a vegan for 9 years. I started losing hair about a year ago and my once thick hair is so thin now that i have bald spots practically all over my head. The hair has been falling out evenly amongst my whole head. What am I missing that can cause this? zinc? B12? Protein? What deficiency can be causing my hair loss?
I’m not going to stop being a vegan so don’t try to convert me. I’m concerned about my hair and my health but I wont harm another creature for my benefit. There are always vegan alternatives, I am just curious as to what I might not be getting enough of.
