You are welcome. I know that weight loss, es...Kim,<br /><br />You are welcome. I know that weight loss, especially if you lose it fast and quick, can cause your hair to fall out temporarily. This is a form of stress and stress can cause a hormone imbalance which causes hair loss. <br /><br />I use Pureology but it is so darn expensive! It is worth it though. I also use the Rogaine twice a day and so far, so good. The dermatologist told me that Rogaine works best for women who have a family history of hair loss. It will not work if your hair is shedding due to temporary factors. <br /><br />Also a healthy diet chock full of fish and/or lean protein, fruits and veggies, Omega-3 and Omega 6 oils, lots of water, good sleep, and de-stressing activities like meditation and yoga are amazing. I have been doing yoga since 2003 and I meditate. I tend to get stressed easily and yet I try to keep calm for my health and hair's sake! <br /><br />If you have a family history of women's hair loss ie, your mom has it, then go see a dermatologist. The sooner you start taking Rogaine, the better it will work because it will maintain the hair on your head better than if you really start losing.<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-21288569713585259172010-07-30T12:22:47.746-07:002010-07-30T12:22:47.746-07:00I also had thinning hair and it got really bad in ...I also had thinning hair and it got really bad in 2007 after massive weight loss. I don't know if it was due to the weight loss or what, but it was so bad I was using fake pony tails and Rachelle had recommended I get extensions. <br /><br />I switched shampoos and stopped losing weight. I don't know if it was the combination, but it seemed to work. Purology volumnizing shampoo and conditioner are what I use. I started losing weight again after a massive weight gain, and my hair seems to be holding up. If it starts to thing again, I will try the Rogaine. <br /><br />Thanks for the great advice!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989878350742085698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-21471200491034837072010-07-28T12:41:13.954-07:002010-07-28T12:41:13.954-07:00La Dama,

My sister told me that when she was pregnant with my niece, her hair got really thick and then when her daughter was born, it started to shed big time. My sister started using the Rogaine before me and it really worked for her too. <br /><br />By it way, it is cool meeting another "Tara!" For years, I felt like I was the only one. Everyone was Jennifer, Megan, Cathy, Tracy, Becky, Robin, etc. I wanted to be anything other than Tara when I was elementary school! <br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-57820371773128029962010-07-28T10:04:16.359-07:002010-07-28T10:04:16.359-07:00Thanks for the advice!

I have used Avalon Organics Biotin shampoo and conditioner but they did nothing. My hair was falling out due to being off the Pill. Even though the shedding was temporary, my heredity hair loss situation could cause my hair to not grow back like before. So, for now, Rogaine is the answer. But now that it is working, I think I may try organic biotin or herb-infused products again.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-55964906414434307712010-07-28T09:53:01.125-07:002010-07-28T09:53:01.125-07:00Clare,

I know how painful and traumatizing it can be when one sees swirls and swirls of hair going down the drain whilst in the bath. Rogaine is amazing and I recommend it to women who have a history of hair loss in their family. Rogaine is the brand name for Minoxidil. <br /><br />I hope your friend can go to her GP for answers. <br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-23292544585063505352010-07-28T09:47:00.632-07:002010-07-28T09:47:00.632-07:00Thanks for the support, Tara!

If you need to use Rogaine, the earlier you start the better. Rogaine will regrow and maintain hair but if you one's hair is "too far gone," the product can only do so much.<br /><br />Also, if your hair is thinning due to a possible hormone issue, the dermatologist can help determine the best course of action to get your follicles back on track.<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-65130723296220254032010-07-28T09:43:55.770-07:002010-07-28T09:43:55.770-07:00Holly,

In 2001, I started using a British skincare line called Elemis. Their neck and bust lifting serum is amazing but it costs $116! I got it as a gift a while back and loved it but shelling out that money is hard especially when I have already spent it on vintage! I have been using the free serum samples I get with my online orders. <br /><br />I will check into the Osmotics for sure! I am a sucker for beauty products.<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-44818262584330408252010-07-28T09:26:58.739-07:002010-07-28T09:26:58.739-07:00Rachelle,

If you are just experiencing hair loss due to pregnancy or a temporary hormone imbalance, Rogaine will not work. Nevertheless, if the hair loss continues, go to a dermatologist. Heredity is the main factor for Rogaine to work. <br /><br />I am jealous (jk!) that you have thick hair. I have always had super fine hair but when I saw less and less and at one point even saw thinning patches on my temples, I got really wigged out. I am glad the Rogaine has made my hair grow back. I also feel sorry for the girls who have no cure but a wig.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-40783485807500240762010-07-28T07:29:33.709-07:002010-07-28T07:29:33.709-07:00so sorry you had to go through that..and glad you ...so sorry you had to go through that..and glad you found something that works,,my mom makes this homemade shampoo..stops your hair from falling and grows new shiny hair..she blends fresh olvera plant and adds the contents to any olvera shampoo.doradadamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115732129336500002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-60830778249077500382010-07-28T00:53:46.856-07:002010-07-28T00:53:46.856-07:00My friend is a vintage hairstylist and she is losi...My friend is a vintage hairstylist and she is losing her hair. You can imagine how devastated she is by this, as she wears a vintage style every single day and its her trademark. She used to have long hair but she has a much shorter style now and uses a lot of hairpieces and hats to disguise it. She has recently been to the dermatologist but I havent seen her for a while. I will mention this product you use to her (not sure if you can get it in the UK but im sure we have something similar).Dolly Cool Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736208425076481054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-80826442445566280302010-07-27T21:21:11.458-07:002010-07-27T21:21:11.458-07:00That sounds like such an awful experience, but tha...That sounds like such an awful experience, but that's great that you found something that worked!<br />My mom has very thinning hair, she too had very thick black hair up until her mid 40s when it got noticeably thin.

Its very common too, even for women. My company makes a serum, shampoo and conditioner specifically for thinning hair. It was made innitially for people going through chemo. If Rogaine works for you stick with it, but this may be something you could try in conjunction with it. It makes your hair really thick!! Its pricy though so if we get some extra in I'll grab it and send you some. My friend uses it because she bleaches her hair. We also make one for lashes that doesn't change the color of your eyes (like Latisse, blech!). http://www.osmotics.com/catalog/Hair/hair-products.htmlTemperamentalBroad@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305259918940809169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-48066147108775573622010-07-27T16:08:02.276-07:002010-07-27T16:08:02.276-07:00Wow, that must have been pretty traumatic. I alwa...Wow, that must have been pretty traumatic. I always feel so sorry for gals with thinning hair. For a woman it must be simply horrifying. I've always had really thick and coarse hair, which is hard to style in vintage ways as it's too thick to be curly and most styles require curl. I've wished my hair would thin slighly and regretable so, as recently, and I think it's due to my pregnancy, I've noticed some thinning on the top in the front. To most it would look normal but to me, I noticed it's not as thick as it was. If it progresses, I will definately start using Rogaine. I am happy to hear it works and you are seeing great results with it.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332156762616870374noreply@blogger.com
