Me a couple years ago
I am just so upset because the front of my hair is thinning so badly. My mother had almost no hair as she aged and I probably am heading in the same direction.
Anyone know any vitamin or product that actually works on thinning hair??
Some simple solutions
by: Calvin
Hello Karen,Firstly let me introduce myself. I am Calvin and also a previous Hair Loss Survivor. I have been researching about a solid and effective way to stop Pattern hair loss as well as other hair conditions. I think i might be able to provide some information to you regarding your hair problems.
There are actually a lot effective ways to stop hair loss but for a women that suffering from thinning hair, you have a few good choices of treatments.
Medications - Minoxidil 3% (Rogaine) Minoxidil is the only FDA Approved treatment for hair loss and the 3% formula is specially formulated for women opposed to 5% for men. It works as a hair stimulant and it can stimulate new hair growth. It's the best way for treating Pattern Baldness. However, once you start it, you have to continue using it or else all the hair that you have grown will be lost.
Vitamins - Important sources of vitamin B group like Biotin and B12 are crucial for hair growth and thickness. If you take them, you will notice your hair will thicken and looks much more nourished. I suggest getting Vitamin B Complex as a supplement as well as Vitamin C.
Zinc and Iron are also essential for improving your blood circulation to provide the essential nutrients to your hair.
Diet - low sodium diet helps to reduce your kidney's and liver's burden and can help redirect the energy to building a stronger and healthier hair.
Take foods rich with Omega 3 fatty acids like fish but don't fry them or else you will destroy the vital nutrients.
If you are worried about Rogaine, the alterrnative treatment should be Viviscal. Many people have shown tremendous results of hair growth from using it.
I hope I can provide you with the solutions that you need. However, hair loss can be much more complicated based on your age and any other possible underlying conditions like menopause, hormones and pregnancy issues.
If you can provide me with more information, I can further provide you with additional assistance.
Regards,
Calvin

I agree with the first post and would like to add that I'm using Nioxin products and find them to work well for me.My hair is years ahead (or behind depending on how you look at it) of all my relatives both male and female at my age (51).
I also believe in a careful diet and exercise. Blood flow is important and cardio gets your blood flowing. Do some sort of cardio at least daily and more if you can. Short bursts a few hours apart do big things, same for muscle toning. It's a neat trick for folks who are busy (who isn't?).
Don't shampoo too much. I do it about twice a week and condition every day.
My favorite snack is a small handful of almonds for the protein instead of sugar or corn-syrup based treats and juices. I eat lots of lean meats of all sorts. Remember to be kind to your scalp and treat your whole body, it will do wonders as the years skip by!
Good luck!
