Alright, so my iron is now at normal level. My hair isn't shedding anywhere near as much anymore. How long until I stop losing hair? I know that I need my level to be 70 to regrow hair, but will it start to regrow as soon as it gets to 70, or will I have to wait 3 months after it get's to 70...

Don't worry about it. Just make sure you do your homework and find out what can possibly be causing your hairloss. I'm only 17, so I know how you are feeling. I lost half my hair when I was 15 and had an eating disorder that caused a thyroid problem (weight loss meds being ditched got rid of...

You're very lucky. Since you found out the problem right away, you saved yourself from permanent hairloss due to damaging the hair follicles with the ponytail. And also, since the hairloss was from pulling, and not from a disruption of the hair cycle, you won't have to wait until the hair cycle...

Hair growth can take up to 3 months after the cause of hairloss has been reduced. The hairs growing in will start off fine and very thin, and grow thicker and structured as it get's longer.

Definetly keep up with the iron, it will help with time if you are iron deficient. Many women are. It takes at least 3 months to get your iron up with suppliments if it is low. I am iron deficient and I take 400mg of iron daily, and I have noticed a decrease in the past 6 weeks, but still not a...

What should I get from the Tricomin line? The shampoo and conditioner, or the spray?

Thanks so much :) I'm going to look up the Tricomin now, and mention it to my doctor when I see him tomorrow. I was super lucky, and my parents saw how down I was and got me into a therapy group at the Children's Hospital nearby. I can get blood tests whenever, therapy, dermatologists and...

I'm only 17. That's why I'm freaking out. I really don't know what to do anymore. I have a wig, but I always get scared that it's making me lose more hair. I don't fasten the clips so that the wig is as loose as possible, and I cut my hair short so that I don't have to wear the tight wig cap...

Hi. Thanks for the advice :) I really appreciate it. I'm in a daily therapy program at the Montreal Children's Hospital (I'm only 17), because I was having so much trouble with my hair that I stopped talking to people, quit school and had panic attacks and tandrums daily. I get blood tests there...

If I start wearing a wig, will it make it harder for me to grow hair back? Also also, can it damage the hair I already have? :dunno:

Okay, so I've been losing hair since October, and when I finally got a blood test in November, it showed that my ferritin level was only 9. I've been taking 418 mg of iron in suppliments daily, and eating a ton of meat, green veggies and iron enriched wheats, and I'm still losing hair. I have...

I talked to a dermatologist a few days ago and asked her why I was losing more hair in the shower. She told me it's normal to lose more hair in the shower, because when you wash your hair, the hairs in sleeping stage are more likely to fall out than when the hair is dry. She also said that the...

Have yourself checked for anemia. You might be missing iron or not absorbing it as well as you should be. Iron deficiency can cause a great deal of hairloss, especially if you don't treat it right away. I lost over half my hair from iron deficiency, and now I need to take iron pills. I found out...
