Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Well stress has a lot to do with thinning hair. How is your diet? Are you taking any vitamins? Eating those leafy greens? Your hair feeds on good blood circulation and good diet. Have you check your thyroid lately? An inactive or over reactive thyroid can make hair fall out and thin. A normal person sheds about 80 hairs a day and once a year it is normal to shed lots of hair. Mine shedding time is in the fall so if I am loosing more any other time I have to look at my eating habits, stress level and other things. There is a great vitamin/herb not sure what but it is called " Silica " it is great for the hair and nails. A good vitamin B-12 complex is great as well. The shampoo that you are using maybe stripping the proteins out of your hair. I am sorry but there are not a lot of good products in the grocery stores that help fine thinning hair. There is a great professional product out there for thin hair and it is called " Nixon " make sure that if you look into it that you get the one for women. It is kind a pricey but it made my ten hairs feel like 20! And I have a fuller head of hair. Is your dryer to hot, do you condition your hair? Do you perm and color all of the time? Are you hard on your hair? I am a hair stylist and I have been doing this for 22 years. These questions that I have asked are the questions I ask my clients when there hair seems like it is having stress. ______________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 I eat a lot of soy, flax, rasins, lentils, beans, corn. I am vegan but I eat right to keep my anemia in check. I do color my hair. I use semi-perm stuff that is not harsh. Shampoo/conditioner wise I use Paul Mitchell. I work at a salon so to! I don't use products from drug stores or mass market stuff for beauty. I think I am going to try the rosemary scalp massage. , Jana H Whetton <hairstylist4you@j...> wrote: > Well stress has a lot to do with thinning hair. How is your diet? Are > you taking any vitamins?
