Hi everyone! I am so glad I found this site. I am 43 yrs old and started noticing my hair thinning 10 years ago. But it was never a problem because I had very very thick brown, curly hair and you really couldn't tell. (I call it the "poodle effect" where the curls hide the thinness.)
Anyway, I have became concerned about it during the past few years because the thinness has started becoming more noticeable - especially on the top of my head. My hairdresser recommended Nioxin shampoo/conditioner and I have been using this but I still feel that my hair is thinning.
I have to admit that it is depressing and I often have dreams about my hair loss - for example, I'll look in the mirror and my scalp looks like a doll head (with sprouts of hair in rows) or I'll look in the mirror and I'm completely bald. Uugghhh! :freaked:
I hope I can find some help on this site. I just recently started taking a multiple vitamin because I am on the thin side and my diet has not been what it should be. I am sure stress plays a part with my hair problems. I also wonder about environmental toxins like heavy metals. Has anyone done research on this?
Bye for now!
Stef
