Hair Loss Information

I am 20 years old and have semi curly hair. The hair were not very dense but still they were quite heavy. I have a low level of hb and I got my s. ferritin checked which was also very low. I have excessive hair loss, specially in front and sides above the ears.My hair have become almost 60-65% Can you please suggest what I should do? I am a vegetarian, but if my health demands I can consume non veg too.

You need to be checked for iron loss. Ferritin is a measure of iron. You need iron to make red blood cells. If you iron is low, your body does not make enough red blood cels and you will become anemic. Vegetarians are prone to this since they do not eat red meat. Given that you are only 20 years old, the most serious causes of iron deficiency are not likely. That would be blood loss due to colon caner. Women often have a low iron level due to loss of blood from a heavy period or vaginal flow of blood each month. You probably need to have iron supplements in your diet, but also have yourself checked for more serious problems. Iron deficiency anemia is a common cause of hair loss, but it is not the only cause of hair loss. The low iron level and the anemia are a far more serious problem that you need to have evaluated by your physician immediately. If your loss is due to iron deficiency anemia, treatment will stop your hair loss. I honestly can't say that treatment will reverse your hair loss if it is due to a iron deficiency anemia.

Biotin is a water soluble B-complex vitamin, that our body, unfortunately, does not store .One has to ingest it daily. There are several natural sources of biotin in foods like eggs, walnuts, peanuts, whole-wheat breads, pork, salmon, soybean, cauliflower etc. If such foods are not part of the daily diet, one can get biotin through supplements. Most multi vitamin pills already contain biotin in some amounts.

I would like to inform you that some hair dyes are damaging to the hair follicals and cause the hair to actully break.   Hair loss in females is usually not evident until the later years (40s-50s).   There are many different ways to give hair a fuller appearance.   Hair product that are all natural will help and hair products containing anagen stimulators as well.   Also, the amount of iron in the blood may cause hair loss in females.   Lastly,   there is also a chance that the thyroid is not in good condition.   These reasons in addition to stress,   can cause hair loss for females.

There were many discuttions about this issue, i strongly advise you to read them as they will provide you with lots of information:

Haircycle and hair loss

Over the last year my hair has completely stopped growing. I used to
have very long hair and got it trimmed regularly.
I have had to stop trimming it as it is now only barely to my shoulders. I am afraid to cut any more of it because the length won't grow back. I am female and always had long hair, this is a major worry for me.

It is not unusual to see this sort of problem in someone who has used long-term chemical treatments on their hair. This may cause chemical alopecia (hair loss), or a telogen effluvium, with shedding and growth retardation.

Obviously, the best course of action is to cease using the products, or to find an alternative. A consultation with a dermatologist, or a good hair loss/hair restoration physician is in order, so that a definitive diagnosis may be made. Laboratory studies and/or a scalp biopsy might be needed to reveal the true cause and nature of the condition.
We always recommend using the haircycle products as they help to accelerate anagen. Haircycle products are extraordinarily effective and highly potent blend of DHT inhibitors, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, cell proliferates, anagen stimulators, nitric oxide , precursors and androgen blockers.

My hair is falling very rapidly and I want to know any shampoo for treatment. I am 22 years old female, Diabetic

'Hair loss' can be caused by any number of conditions. In fact, losing around 100 hairs a day is a natural part of hair 'growth cycle', but at some point, some excessive hair loss could happen. There is a strong chance that women with hair loss have a deficiency of some kind that may be helped through nutrition or supplements. In some cases these women can be helped before menopause through other means. Such things as low iron and hormones may be causing their hair loss. You should check with your doctor for 'anemia', excessive male hormones, 'thyroid' function, rheumatoid diseases, and other medical problems. Hair loss could be caused by medication and stress too. In most cases, it is a temporary situation. Fortunately, medications and 'hair care products' can be used to manage hair loss. We suggest you get the test results from your preferred doctor as a starting point.

We also recommend a well balanced diet and vitamins that are essential not only to prevent hair loss, but also to promote healthy hair. Good nutrition is vital to healthy hair growth, just as it's essential to overall good health. Although your body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain proper body functions, there are several that are specific to hair growth and health such as the B vitamins, especially B5 Vitamin C and E, biotin, and Zink. It is important to check with your doctor before starting a vitamin program, especially if you have health concerns.

Hi, I am 20 years old and am a very healthy, sporty person. About 2 years ago I noticed my hair was thinning out and on the pillow in the morning for example. I could see hairs which were of a noticeable amount. Recently, the problem has become worse, styling my hair, showering, sleeping, and combing my hands through my hair, all result in hairs falling on the floor or being left in my hand. I have been to the doctor about this problem, had blood tests for thyroid problems and all came back negative (sadly I wanted it to be positive so there was something to cure). I am really worried. What can I do? Surely there is medication or something to restart or help with hair growth, as my hair is gradually becoming thinner and thinner, in the shower, when I look in the mirror, it really scares me as the wet hair shows how thin areas are.

Hair loss can be caused by any number of conditions. If you already had a blood test that came back negative, it could be male pattern baldness. Even when it is a permanent situation, exist medications and hair care products that could be use to slow the hair loss process. It could be advised to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or hair specialist for an evaluation. We recommend Minoxidil 5% for male pattern baldness because it stimulates the anagen phase and gives strength and thickness to your hairs and Hair Cycle care products. You could consider using Rogaine Foam 5% that does not contain alcohol. It does evaporate right away without the grease effects. You can use it twice per day.
