not really.  Some people don't lose their hair, but I believe most do.  My mother went to get a wig before she lost her hair and the matched it up really well.  People always tell you that your hair will grow back better than ever, but we just thought they were trying to be nice.  Well, when Mum's hair grew back it was nothing short of stunning and had waves in there that she had lost 35 years earlier when she was pregnant (and then breastfeeding) my eldest sister.  You hang in there.  chemo is a rotten thing to go through, but it is fighting those evil cancer cells.  I'm going to add you to my prayer list just so that you know that somewhere out here a total stranger is thinking of you and wishing you well.

Stress CAN cause hair loss.  Been there.  So can: hereditary hair loss (female pattern baldness), anesthesia, medicines, thyroid dysfunction. Ask a pharmacist or health food store which supplements are the best.  I have used multivitamin, B-complex. Zinc and B6 are good also.  Have your Dr. also advise you.

Many people don't realize that hair loss is a problem, even for women. It is particularly distressful, and I sympathize with you since you've already got a plate full of stressors. The good news is there is help. There are all kinds of medical remedies available. If you're serious about remedying hair loss, see your doctor. You can also take steps to preserve the hair your have. One easy thing, only comb your hair from roots to ends. Anything else tangles and then pulls out hair in the detangling process. Follow this pattern also when you wash and condition your hair. Also, keep your hair cut short as weight will also increase fallout. Finally, Mane and Tail shampoo seem to help, and some judicious use of hair gel will make the hair you have seem thicker. \n\nBeyond all of that, find a way to squeeze some time for yourself into your hectic schedule. Do something that relaxes you -- read a book, window shop with a friend, just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch. You have to take care of yourself or all of your body systems will suffer. Believe me, I've been there. Take care of you so you are able to take care of the important relationships you have -- with your children. \n\nSending you tons of good wishes,\n~Tia~

If this is your first time with cancer, expect to go throu some highs and lows during the oreal.  Cantact a cancer support group in your area.

First try to find out the reason why you are losing hair. \n\nThere are a prety common reasons why one loses hair, they are due to \n* Dandruff\n* Fungal infection on your scalp \n* Hormonal change in your body\n* Heirditary problem i.e your fathers or forefathers being bald (even then this affects you only when you are over 30   years)\n* Else there maybe some other problem in your body that is being reflected in your hair. Like being affected by typhoid , jondise or some other dieases that genreally affects hair.\n\nIf you are affected by Dandruff alone then you are propably suffering from itching on your scalp and hairfall\n\nBefore i go on to the treatment, let me make one thing clear dandruff is one thing that will keep coming on again and again and the treatment has to be taken for life.\n\n1) Grind ginger and lemon seeds to a paste, apply it on your hair before you go to sleep and in the morning wash it off with cold water. This has to be done on a daily basis since its effect will last only for a day or two.\n\n2) Grind small onions to paste (its ok if u use a little water to grind) and apply in on your scalp for 2 to 3 hours then wash it off with cold water, this will revitalise hair growth and has a good effect over dandruff. This has to be done every week.\n\nIf you are having fungal infection on your hair ( a check up with a trychologist will tell you if u have fungal infection or not and the pattern of your baldness. Its also highly recommended that you go for a complete check up and analyse the defects on your hair) you would mostly suffer from \n\n# Thinning hair ( means that the thickness of a single hair becomes very less)\n# Brittleness of your hair\n# Rapid reduction in the desity of your hair\n# Weakness in the strength of hair roots\n\nWhen you are affected be fungal infection then you are sure to lose completely all the hairs on your head.\n\nIf you have both dandruff and fungal infection on your hair then you are sure to become bald in 8 to 10 months time. Trying any kind of shampoo will still result in more hairfall.  So its highly recommended that you tonsel your head for effective treatment. (the above given treatment has to be followed for fungal infection also)\n\nSome general tips\n\n# Always wash your head atleast once a day with cold water and never use hot water since it aggrevates dandruff\n\n# Message your head gently with equal mixture of aroma oil, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil for a minimum for half an hour. This can be done every night or in the morning two hours before bath (this is highly recommended that this is done after tonselling your head since with dandruff and fungal infection your hair is not likely to withstand message)\n\n#  Consume a lot of food that is rich in Vitamin A like carrots, sweet potato etc. Its good to have a glass of carrot juice without sugar daily in the morning\n\n# Drink atleast a two glass of milk and lots of water daily\n\n# Have a lot of soya included in your food\n\n\nIt takes atleast 3 to 4 months to see improvements in your hair and only with persistance will the quality of your hair improve\n\nGood luck\n\nManoj

Do not use listerine, it may cause hair fall.try the tips i've given below instead\n\n\n1. Add six spoonfuls water, two spoonfuls pure vinegar and apply it on the scalp with cotton wool before going to bed. Tie a towel around your head to protect the pillow. Wash your hair next morning. After shampooing, rinse again with vinegar water. Continue this once a week for at least three months. \n\n2. Mix a spoonful of lemon juice with two spoonfuls of vinegar and massage on the scalp. Wash your hair with an egg shampoo after this.\n\n3. Soak fenugreek (methi) seeds in yogurt overnight and apply the curd on your scalp for half an hour before washing in the morning. \n\n4. Hair washed with fenugreek (methi) seed paste prevents dandruff, falling hair, baldness and dandruff keeping the hair long, healthy and black. Just soak the fenugreek seeds overnight in water to soften the seeds and grind in the morning to make paste. Before hair wash, apply this paste on scalp and hair and leave it on for half an hour. Wash off with shampoo later. \n\n5. Egg Pack for Dandruff: Beat two eggs and add two tablespoons of water to it. Wet the hair and apply the egg mixture over the hair. Now massage your scalp and let the mixture on for ten minutes to fifteen minutes. Then rinse the hair with lukewarm water. This will keep both dandruff and hair fall problem away from you.\n\n6. Natural Anti-Dandruff Massage: \n\nMassage your scalp with warm coconut or castor oil twice a week. \nMassage with the tips of your fingers in a circular movement for at least half an hour. \nLeave it on overnight and shampoo the following morning. \nThis prevents the hair from becoming dry and moreover prevents dandruff and falling hair by improving the circulation and strengthening the hair roots.

wow!  I say you are one lovely lucky person! Praise the good Lord sweetie. There must be lots of people who'd rather lose their hair than their life!  Anyway, your hair will grow back, it's only hair......... in the meantime, go to a professional wig shop and let them fit you properly so your temporary hair will look as natural and feel as though you have no wig on. After your hair grows back  you may still choose to wear the wig! God has blessed  you and given you many more happy and healthy years to come. Embrace them and don't fret the hair. Also, maybe you can take vitamin B and also Evening Primrose vitamins. These are supposed to help with hairloss.  Good luck to you and remember,,,rejoice in your newly blessed life and don't fret the small stuff sweetie.

You will need Vitamin B12 I think, Zinc and a special hair and nails tablets. These are available from Holland & Barrett assuming you are in the UK.\n\nMy wife hair was falling out alot when she combed it. The doctor told her to take this tablets as she said she went completely bald but now has a full length hair. I've noticed my wife's hair is not falling out so much now.

Go to the doctor and have them check your thyroid!!! Are you under a lot of stress? You can use Rogaine to prevent more hair from falling out, but I don't think it's very effective.

Sounds like you have an early case of the female version of male patterning baldness.  Tough break, girl.\n\nIs your hair falling out or is it just not growing there?\nTry taking a multivitamin for whatever vitamins or minerals you are deficient in.  Then go to your doctor.  And check out Rogaine.

The best thing you can do is face the fact you are balding.\n\nThere is nothing (aside from a hair transplant) you can take or do about it.\n\nBe happy with the look you have, and everyone else will be too.

If you are certain that you are experiencing only male pattern baldness, and that the hair loss is not a symptom of a more serious problem, then you can stop the progression by using either 1. Minoxidil (Rogaine) : a solution that you apply directly to the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles. It slows hair loss for many men, and some men grow new hair. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop applying the solution, or 2.Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) -- a prescription pill that inhibits the production of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone. Like minoxidil, you are more likely to have slower hair loss than actual new hair growth. In general, it is somewhat more effective than minoxidil. The previous degree of hair loss returns when you stop taking the drug. Good luck !

that happened to me & after 3 tests by 3 labs it turned out i was using hair products with "coal tar" in them. if he scratches his head does he have a pastey substance under his nails? if he does, go to a healthfood store and get a bottle of pure jojoba oil, add 4-6 drops to a quarter size amt. of jojoba shampoo & apply it to the scalp & leave on over nite & shampoo in the morning. it removes the dead skin & oil buildup that's smothering the pores, making the hair fall out prematurely. it worked great for me!
