    Rust in the water system damaging my hair?

    We do have a water softner and I have started to buy the green bags of water-softner salt that say "rust remover" on them. So they do make shower heads with filters on them?

    KielMcK's Story - (Big 3 and liquid spironolactone 2%, age 24)

    Re: KielMcK's Story Big 3 and liquid spironolactone 2% (Pics Nov. 4th) Your hair looks really good. Being a model, I would assume you have some ideas on keeping your hair healthy. What products do you use on your hair to keep it thick and shiney? Also, my hair is dry and curly. I want it to be...

    michael's story - (34 y/o diffuse thinning w/ photos)

    You are doing something right in that first pic. Your hair looks thick there, so I assume you used some of those thickeners you were describing before taking the picture? Maybe I need to get a thickener myself as I have diffuse thinning as well. It definitely wouldn't hurt to try minoxidil...

    Rust in the water system damaging my hair?

    It is probably coincidence, but shortly after I moved to a place that has a lot of rust in the water system, I first started to notice thinning on the top of my head. My previously very thick hair is all of the sudden thin throughout the top. I'm sure the rust in the water cannot be helping...

    One picture that distills all the scientific truth of hair

    Not that isn't intriguing, but what is the point when you can graft hair from the back of your head onto the top of your head? I would much prefer to have hair from the back of my head up there than hair from any other part of my body.

She said that male pattern baldness is just the crown, and that my thinning is actually related to the itching instead...

    Shampoo for dry, wirey hair

    My hair is often compared to a brillo pad, which is not good at all. It is dry, curly, and the individual strands are thick and wirey. Any suggestions to soften it up and make it look and feel fresher?

    Was on Accutane, now I'm in pain after every shower

    I took Accutane about 4 years ago and wish I didn't. I'm not sure if it helped contribute to the thinning of my hair that has started this year, but I do know that it dried my skin out to an extreme degree. I am itchy most of the time which isn't so bad to deal with, but the pain after getting...
