I am 48 years old, and have very thin hair on the top of scalp. I have tried a popular hair application Rogaine, and it seemed to have helped but only very very slightly. I would like to try something more effective.What is the most effective treatment for thinning hair in women?
Women rarely lose their hair due to genetic predisposition. However hair loss in women is reaching new high levels. Thinning hair loss in women may be caused by many problems:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Hair loss related to pregnancy postmenopausal trauma
- Effects of medications including birth control pills
- Nervous conditions including tension and stress
- Medical treatments such as chemo therapy
- Harsh chemicals such as commercial shampoos, perms, hair color, and bleach
- Iron, vitamin and mineral imbalance
- Severely poor diet including dehydration
- Poor circulation can cut off the nutrients that blood flow delivers to the scalp
The average person loses about 100 strands per day (while the average hair grows only 1/2 inch per month). So the more days you live, the more hairs you lose. While you can't stop time or heredity, you can do something about the way your hair appears, even if it's thinning.
Commercial conditioners do a good job of making hair look fuller, as long as you don't overuse them. Don't use more than a teaspoonful each time you wash, that's just a dab in the palm of your hand. Anything more is wasted and can actually make your hair look worse.
Crack an egg over your hair before shampooing, and toss away the shell. Massage it in for five minutes and then rinse it out. Since egg is basically animal protein, it has the same effect as the specially formulated shampoos.What is the most effective treatment for thinning hair in women?

Any girls ever used Bosley hair treatments for thinning hair or Hair Club?
No, but I'm beginning to think I should..... I hate my thin hair.Any girls ever used Bosley hair treatments for thinning hair or Hair Club?
I'm not a girl, but I have used Bosley. I had a Bosley procedure done back in July and couldn't be happier with the results. Since receiving my hair restoration I've recorded my whole experience at BattleAgainstBald.com, which is my blog. In addition to pictures and video of my procedure and results, I provide a wealth of information on hair loss and all the methods for correcting it. The information is geared towards men and women alike, as I know there are tons of women suffering from hair loss.
I also know that a lot of women have gotten hair restoration procedures, so it's not out of the ordinary. During your research to determine if hair restoration is right for you I encourage you to check out BattleAgainstBald, to get an idea of exactly what to expect.
Best of Luck!

Hmm...well is your hair getting thinner or is your hair just thin? If your hair is thinning or falling out, you definetly want to go to a dermatologist and get a biopsy done to see if your suffering from female alopecia. I am a surgical technician and do hair transplants. With women it's tricky because it's not normal to lose your hair, you dont have the DHT hormone that men have which leads to genetic hair loss. There are plenty of false advertisments out there also, nothing will regrow your hair if it's alopecia. Then you would need a transplant which looks great btw. The good news is, is that with women it could be a number of different things, stress is a big one for us and sometimes stress reducers will help your hair start the regrowth process. Get it checked out for sure if you've noticed your hair thinning, you want to stop it before you lose more.

Which treatments for thinning hair, receding hair or male pattern baldness REALLY work (or are they all scams)
Please answer only if you or someone close to you has had success with something. I'm getting the hairline of Bruce Willis or Alton Brown (science guy on Food Network). If anyone has comments specifically for my hair loss type, that would be great.Which treatments for thinning hair, receding hair or male pattern baldness REALLY work (or are they all scams)

Rogan works...but once you stop you lose it...or you can have implants..that works...but very expensive and PAINFUL!!!!!
Sounds like male pattern baldness, if it is, you can try to regrow hair with a treatment like Nioxin, or Rogain. It most likely will not work, unless the hair follicles have clogged due to environment or hair products. Either way, I have seen hair regrow with a daily treatment of aloe vera (from the plant), applied to the balding areas every night before bed, then washed off in the morning.

What's the best treatment for thin hair?
I'm a guy, and just started to grow out my hair, but it's kinda gross and thin. I'm not balding btw.What's the best treatment for thin hair?
Use a shampoo like Pantene to give it some thickness.What's the best treatment for thin hair?
Wash often - at least every day. Blow dry. Get good cut regularly. Avoid heavy gels and conditioners.
Maybe you should chop it off if it is gross
Use a little olive in it each week. Rub it in real good and message your head with it.
Ask Donald Trump or Don King!
I believe there's no treatment. Some hair suits being long, some doesn't. Girl/boy doesn't matter.
Use pantene or some other thickening shampoo..also, you could use Volumiser mousse that Lakme and L'oreal make, they are gud... you could also slightly blow dry your hair after washing...
I heard that aloe vera gel is good for thinning hair.
A razor blade!Get it off man, long hair on a guy is so old fashioned.Leave it to the ladies to impress with long hair, rather focus on what's inside of you, after all isn't it about who and what you are in the long run and not what conditioner did you use today?
PS. since the day I shaved my head my confidence grew!
use a thickaning shampoo, DO NOT gel it of put in stuff that makes your hair look all slimy during the day!you could die your hair a darker color to give the illusion of thickness...
dont know ive never looked in to that cause i have no need i have a full thick beautiful head of hair
They have hair thickening shampoo and conditioners, but the best idea is to find a style that is compatible with your hair.
Get some Volume boosting Shampoo, like Dove. Trust me, it works!

What are some alternative treatments for thinning hair? I read a man who used a regimen of nutrient vitamins?
and he wrote an answer in here a few weeks ago and I wrote down his responses, which was excellent, and included supplements he'd been taking that'd been effective for him - I'm a little thinning on the top at 45 and couldn't even find the question in the archives.... I can't find the paper I wrote it all on...What are some alternative treatments for thinning hair? I read a man who used a regimen of nutrient vitamins?
If hair thinning is part of the regular pattern of male pattern baldness then anything that contains an inhibitor of the enzyme 5伪-Reductase (mainly type II) and the testosterone metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT) might help. This enzyme and the metabolite DHT are both implicated.
Saw palmetto [ Serenoa repens], nettle root , black cohosh [Actaea racemosa, Cimicifuga racemosa], willow herb [Epilobium parviflorum] can all help here.
Other herbs and supplements that can strengthen the hair include: horsetail [Equisetum arvense], zinc, B complex vitamins, protein and Methyl-sulfonyl-methane or MSM (sulphur is an integral part of the hair).
Externally you can try rosemary oil or lemongrass oil (cleanse the scalp and stimulates the circulation), capsicum/cayenne oil, ginger oil and black seed oil. You could use individually or make a cocktail.
Avoid soy (soya) as it can promote hair loss by its suppressing action on the thyroid gland. Good thyroid function is important for healthy hair so it might be a good idea to get a blood test. If you are not on thyroid medication you could take sea kelp tablets which might help with hair growth as they boost thyroid function....NOT if you are thyroid medication however.

Best wishes.What are some alternative treatments for thinning hair? I read a man who used a regimen of nutrient vitamins?
The best things for hair (and antigraying) are
PABA, C, E, zinc and selenium, biotin and pantothenic acid and choline.
Use a PH balanced shampoo.
Drink a soy protein shake each day, as hair is protein. The other suggestions for vitamins are good (natural multi-vitamin, B complex, etc) We put lotions on our skin but forget that the scalp needs to be nourished also. There is a natural alternative from Shaklee called Pro Sante Hair Treatment. Just rub on 20 drops on the scalp each day to help nourish the scalp and stimulate hair growth naturally.
Saw Palmetto, take 320-400 mg. It has been used by herbalists for hair loss in men and women. Research shows it's very effective for men.
Essential fatty acids, take a combonation containing a blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Take 4,000 mg of fish or flaxseed oil and evening primrose or borage oil containing 200 mg of GLA daily.
Biotin, take 2,000 to 3,000 mcg daily
MSM, take 3,000 mg daily. It contains the mineral sulfur, which helps promote hair development.
Fo Ti, take 500 mg 3 times daily. This chinese herb is used by practitioners of Oriental medicine to slow or stop hair loss, although it is mainly used in formulas with other herbs.
Silica, take 500 mg twice daily. This mineral fosters hair development.
Rosemary essential oil, apply 3-5 drops per 1 ounce of shampoo daily to improve scalp circulation.
Zinc is a mineral required for hair development. Take 30 mg daily, along with 3 mg of copper.
Take a high potency multivitamin to provide a base of nutrients for healthy hair. I would recommend Nature's Way Alive! multivitamins. It contains the super green foods such as chlorella, spirulina, barley and wheatgrass for healthy hair.
