I don't think a few weeks is long enough to see results as far as regrowth. Have you noticed any change in the amount of shedding?

PZ~~ I don't know what is causing your itchiness. Is it something that is connected to cold weather, maybe being in warm, dry, indoor air? I know running the furnace makes my skin and scalp itch like crazy. Have you tried a vinegar rinse? Two ounces of apple cider vinegar and 6 ounces of...

shoover, thanks for that ainfo. Here's a link to that site: http://www.naturalhormoneclinic.com/ While many things can cause a woman to loss het hair, I feel hormone imbalance is probably second to genentics as a cause. Our modern lifestyle and diet can throw our hormones out of whack.

I'm not aware of any topical hair product that includes progesterone. Progesterone creams (topical delivery system) and Prometrium (oral delivery) are available sources of progesterone.

Yikes...pulling on your hair? Not something I've ever done. I'd say, either ask her why she's doing it or find another, perhaps more sensitive, lady.

None of my female relatives have thin hair. In fact, thankfully, my mother's hair was very thick. My hair loss was not natuaral, that is, it didn't JUST happen. It was "drug" and diet induced. We'll never know if it would have happened without HRT :evil: My father and his father had thin...

Hormone replacement is what started my hair loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :freaked2: I took femHRT and the artifical hormones--esp. the artifical progesterone--caused a huge shed. Of course, my gyn told me that couldn't be the cause. But, internet research told me otherwise. I found me a new Gyn. If...

What else can you tell us? Is she preimenopausal? Menopausal? What medications and/or hormones is she taking? Has she had any blood work done? Are there any medical conditions that may be causing her loss? Are these questions you feel comfortable asking her? Would she be intereted in...

Patrips, thanks so much for the shower filter site. It is something I think about researching, and never do! My hairdresser has clients who regrew hair after eliminating clorine. And you r natural shampoo route is a sensible addition. This approach was also successful for some of her...

IMHO, Johnson's baby shampoo dries my hair. I used it all the time, years ago, when I had long, thikc hair. It dried it out. I haven't heard any of the guys here reporting hair loss related back to head and shoulders. Maybe it is the seb derm people have that cause the loss and H & S is...

I did a search on keratin.com for "hair dyes". Here are the results: http://www.keratin.net/forums/search.php?mode=results

It might result in regrowth. I would recommend reading Dr. Lee's books, either on perimenopause (for the 30s-50) or menopause. His website doesn't do his research justice, but it will give you info on the books. Avail. at amazon, for less than $20. http://www.johnleemd.com/
