Thinning hair. Any cure?

Hi all,

I noticed that my hair are getting thinner dramatically. I was always proud of my hair and it felt like 10 years of bleching and coloring will make no harm, but I was wrong. I came back to my natural color now, only doind once in a month coloring to refresh and give more shine, but on the top of my head hair is so thin I can really see through :( Is there any cure for that? or I just have to expect bolding in couple of years?

    I've heard very good things about regain...

    Have brougt some to try myself, but waiting for a scar to healmor before I give it a go so can't give you a review.

    drawbacks are that it will stop working if you stop using the product, so unless you are willing to use it forever..... just something to consider

    I got my OH some MALE regain for a little baldy spot on top of his head amongst his beautiful curly hair. It worked. Didnt think it would but it did. He has to remember to apply it still which is a pain (with men something as simple as remembering that every night is way too difficult :)) but yes, it does work and they have a female version.

    BUT before using it, pop down to see your GP as it may be something hormonal or something that can be helped in another way much less expensive.

    you can get it cheap(er) on ebay

    Or if you go to the states - stock up, it's cheaper over there:)

    I buy it from one of the online pharmacist - MUCH cheaper than Boots or other outlets.

    But I still think the OP needs to speak to a GP as it could be a symptom of some underlying problem in their health.
