Hello ladies, has anyone got any good tips for hair loss please. Im three years post total hysterectomy and my hair has thinned a lot, not in patches but in general , so volume is a lot less . Comes out loads when I wash it and I get scared. I take Menopace but nothing else really. Has anyone had any luck with biotin or anything else to calm this down ? Thanks everyone x
Hi. My hair suffered when I was low on iron. I've had succes with silica, my hair definitely grows faster when I take it, not sure on the thickness.
Biotin is in the multivitamin I take, and I think with improving iron levels, silica now and again, and the biotin, my hair is looking a lot better. Stronger. I use a thickening lotion for styling for special occasions,
There is a product supposed to promote new hair and thicken hair, spray on scalp, twice daily, but I can't say I noticed much change. I was probably impatient!
Good luck.
Thanks Maisie that's really helpful. Glad your hair is improving, I'll look into silica x
I have experienced hair loss for the past 3 years on and off. Our circumstances are very different as I'm perimenopausal and the hair loss is supposedly down to heavy periods which I question. It's also a general thinning and loss of volume. But in trying to resolve it I've tried all sorts of things so happy to pass on any that I think might be useful. I do take biotin, and a good all round hair supplement- currently I'm on a hair trial from the national hair council to use Nourkrin woman. It's worth you trying to join the trial as you get the product free for a few weeks and it's expensive to buy. I have lots of hair growth now but it's hard to say whether it's the biotin, the other vitamins I take, diet, exercise or the Nourkrin! I'll probably continue with it post trial until I'm sure the hair growth is sustained. Stress can cause hair loss and I know mine is worse when I'm under stress so I try to manage it better- I do yoga, exercise, practice mindfulness techniques etc. You can also get topical solutions and I tried a couple of these previously that also worked. Be patient!
Have you had your vitamin D3 checked I was having same problem and it was vitamin D3 mine was very lie only 23 it should be 130 top
I too lost half my hair about 4 months after surgery it started coming out everytime i had a shower handfuls it was terrible. I was taking warfarin and had sceptacemia after my surgery and i put it down to the drugs. It sliwed down definitely but i have just had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed 2 weeks ago and it has started again im on hrt patches so i have no clue what it is . My doctor said its part of menopause not much help
Oh amanda how awful for you, yes my doctor says the same so not much help for either of us I think that's why we look for other alternatives. I think with advice from other ladies anything is worth a try. Your body is still in shock at the moment and trying to adjust , I remember huge hair loss right after my surgery aswell, im hoping things improve for you and you feel better x
yes thank you I will do x
thank you angie yes I will look into it, you're right it's probably a combination of everything that's helping you, the trial is Interesting and something I would be interested in, agree stress is a major factor but trying to eliminate that is not easy. Thanks for help x
Hair loss is stressful and has got me lower than any of the other issues I experience so yes it's really difficult to manage it! I grew my hair longer so I could clip it up which makes it look ok and reduced all the chemicals and heat I use on it which I think has also helped it recover faster. I used to use GHDs almost daily but swapped to a temperature adjustable pair and only every few days. Worth the less than perfect style to help my hair!
Fairy, perimenopause and thyroid issues go hand in hand. Have you had a full panel done of your thyroid?
Yes I have recently and it's ok. Im on thyroxine and levels are ok at the moment x
