Women and Thinning Hair

[Jodi1980]

My hair is thinning on top - what could be causing it?

I don't know what causes it but I know that the Rogaine spray works to make your hair thicker again.

It could be related to your diet or even your hormones. I would check with your doctor to be sure. My sister had this problem several years ago. Her hair had gotten so thin she was almost bald. I do not know is she ever saw a DR about it or not but she stopped coloring her hair for a while. Eventually most of it grew back but it is still thin.

My mother had that problem and she was told that it was a side effect of her high blood pressure meds.

Hi Jodi! By chance are you on a diet that is drastically cutting back on fat? If so try to put some "good" fat(less saturated) back in your diet. That worked for someone I know. Good Luck!

Menopause also causes hair thinning in some women.

Aren't we the lucky ones?

Have you been very ill, or had any major surgery in the last 3 -4 months Jodie? The stress to your system can cause your hair to fall out months after the fact.

Almost all hair thinning in woman is caused by some form of medication. There are products that will help, but you need to use them regularly. Once you stop your hair will thin out again. They are not cheap either and they should not be used if you are pregnant.

The Nioxen are the best for woman with thinning hair. They cleanse the hair of chemicals. The is a 3-step program, a cleanser, a conditioner and a treatment.

These products can be found in most beauty salons and some drug stores.
