Hi everybody. I will try to make this short. I started to notice significant hair loss about 2 years ago. I just turned 60. Once I noticed it (2 years ago) , I started using Minoxidil, taking a biotin supplement and using a hair loss shampoo and conditioner. The hair loss stopped (yay!), but I don''t have much left so I can't wear it down- it looks awful. It looks like a sheer curtain that you can see through. So, I use a claw clip to pull it back every day. I sleep with the claw clip in my hair too because I can't stand feeling hair on my neck. I took a good look at my hair this morning and more than 1/2 of it is broken off at chin length! The rest of my hair is collar bone length - just long enough to pull it back into the claw clip. I am getting it cut on Friday (as much as can be cut and still enable me to either pull it back into a clip or somehow put it up in back. I switched from putting my hair in a pony tail to using the claw clip because my pony tail has the diameter of a pencil and because I read pony tails can cause breakage. I never thought about the claw clip causing damage (until now). Can someone please suggest alternatives to the claw clip to get my hair up and back? There has got to be something out there that does not cause damage. Also, are there any products out there that really work to stop hair breakage? I probably need something to moisturize and strengthen my hair. Thank for any suggestions!
