My hair is thinning out. I used to have thick hair but hair kept falling off since I had it straightened 12 years ago. I had it straightened only twice and had it permed 3 times. Any tips ?
I have a medical condition that causes episodes of hair loss.
I researched a bunch of vitamins a few years back, and started taking the following combination daily - gradually over 4-6 months, the hair loss stopped, and now it no longer even happens at all.
Biotin 5000 mcg per day
B-complex - coenzyme version (this means its already converted to the form your body uses, so it bypasses any absorption or conversion problems)
Jarrow Formulas JarroSil - liquid activated silicon - 10-15 drops per day
MSM- 3-5,000 mg per day
If you have female pattern baldness, I am not sure if the above regimen would help, but it most likely couldn't hurt to try.
One last thing - I haven't used these products for hair loss (but I've used others from this site with great effectiveness for skin).
I will share a strange story with you, and you can see what you think. A while back, my elderly cat had his fur shaved on his tummy and then it never grew back. The vet had no idea why. Months and months went by.At some point during that time, I was using the copper peptides for skin from that site I linked. I would apply them every day using my right hand. I would also hold my cat and rub his belly with my right hand on a daily basis as well. After a while, the fur on his belly started growing again. It may be a total coincidence, but the only change I could determine was that I was using the copper peptides every day and they would get onto his skin when I rubbed his bare belly.
It made me think that maybe the copper peptides for hair loss worked as well as the copper peptides do for improving skin.
What is your age? That can make a difference. Also, is it thinning all over or in spots like the crown of the head or around the forehead. Is your hair long or short? I take a skin, hair and nail liquid capsule from Puritan's Pride that has helped the condition of my hair and nails, skin maybe. I'm 59 years old though and try to eat right and exercise.

I'm in my 30's. I have falling hair everytime I wash and comb my hair. I have already noticed my hair thinning out for awhile but I have only noticed that I am having some bald patches on the forehead just last month.

It is normal to lose like 80 to 100 hairs a day. (more or less depending on thickness of course) I don't wash my hair every day, so when I do, I have 2 or 3 day's worth so it looks like a TON of hair coming out.
Are these full length hairs, like from the scalp? Or is it shorter pieces, like breakage? What are you using to comb/brush your hair?

Yes it is normal to lose hair, however I noticed that I seem to lose so much hair and because I used to have thick hair back then.
Full length hairs... I use Hair Doctor comb
