Is there anything women can do for hair loss that really works and doesn't cost a ton of money?

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~

Most all salons now carry vitamins for hair growth but the last one I went to told me the ones Wal-Mart & drug stores carry are cheaper and work just as well. I don't think you'll notice an improvement for at least 2 or 3 months in any case so don't give up. I've heard messaging the scalp encourages growth as well. I searched on-line for homemade products (using ingredients like olive oil & mayo believe it or not) and they seem to work with continued use. Also, they have Rogaine for women now.

I had the LaserSheer light diode hair removal done. It didn't hurt, but it was rather expensive.

try leaving your hair down. It might be from keeping it in a ponytail

check your local beauty shops and see if they donate to Locks of Love......there should be several that do.....just get your yellow pages and start calling the numbers for beauty shops and ask them. When you find one then you can make an appointment and have them prepare your hair and send it to the organization.

There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available:\n\nHair Transplantation\nDuring hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area. The results are permaneant, look pretty natural and can be treated afterward as natural hair.  The price of these operations ranges from $2000 - $10000, although most surgeons offer some financing options.\n\nMedications:\nFinasteride (Propecia™)\nProcecia is a once a day pill and is clinically proven to maintain your hair count and even regrow hair at the crown and on the top of your head.  It has no effect on hairline balding.  It is available by prescription only, costs about $75 monthly and is covered by no insurance plans.  Once your discontinue taking Propecia, any new hair you regrew will fall out.\n\nminoxidil (Rogaine™)\nMinoxidil or Rogaine is topical solution that must be applied to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness.\n\nPersonally, I would ask yourself what your goals are and how much you're willing to spend.  If you really want to keep your hair, transplant surgery is the only real long term solution and is more cost effective if you consider the money saved on propecia or rogaine.\nIf staving off your hairloss for 5 years or less is your main goal, then medical treatment is a completely satisfactory option.  For maximum effective treatment I would recommend using extra strength rogaine and propecia.

For a real treatment, your doctor must examine you and prescribe what he feels will work.\n\nThe condition cannot be cured, but it can be treated and hair can grow back. You may be prescribed Anti-inflamitory drugs, 12 weeks of Rogaine or Psoriatec. \n\nOther things you can do are eat a well-balanced diet. Hair growth is a vitamin- and mineral-dependent process. People who do not eat a well balanced diet often have problems with hair loss. \n\nReduce stress. Many people with alopecia have had recent stresses in life, such as work, family, deaths, surgeries, accidents, etc.\n\nGood Luck!

Hair fall? your hair is falling out? Do a hot oil treatment once a week. Dont brush as often, comb. wear a scarf to bed so the pillows wont pull your hair out. Or if all else fails, use rogaine for women.

Rogaine makes a product for women.  Perhaps that would help?

NIOXIN Cleanser (shampoo) and Scalp Treatment (conditioner)\n\nIt won't regrow, but it will stop you from losing any more hair. It's not a chemical you have to put into your body. And it smells REALLY sexy. And it's not too expensive. You can buy it at almost any hair salon.

Give it time, maybe use some pantene for thickening.  My mother didn't lose her hair, she kept massaging her scalp.  "Experts" say that doesn't work and it may not for everyone, but give it a stab.  Still, patience and a good wig will help until it comes back.  Good luck.

Try Tinaderm which you can get from a pharmacy for a few dollars.

Car washes are always so fun! You can also try have people who have long hair donate at least 10 inches to Locks Of Love, it helps benefit people who don't have hair because of cancer. I recently cut my hair and donated it, I was growing it for about 2 years to do this. You don't make money but it's kind none the less!
