I was devastated the bald spot was as big as the palm of my hand but it's on my nape so I can still cover it I freaked out and my Doc suggested hair essentials from naturalwellbeing.com I've only taken it for a week but new hair is growing already in one of the bald spots, I have less hair falling out everytime I shower, I actually feel it's working. Hopefully in a couple months all the bald spots will have hair again;-) Recently I noticed how my hair got drastically thinner than usual, I kept thinking it was normal till I notice a small bald spot on the top of my forehead, and while I was at work my co worker said she saw a bigger bald spot while I was combing my hair.

The doctor I saw the other day wouldn't let me test anything except my iron, but I was just going to check off a bunch of stuff on the sheet to test anyway. However, I don't think iodine, copper, or a few other things were even on the sheet. So I'm not sure how to get those checked, since most doctors are unwilling to humor me and order tests I want - just for my peace of mind. Shelly,

Iodine deficiency can, supposedly, cause low-thyroid functioning which manifests itself by several symptoms, one of which is hair loss. I know dry skin, being cold, and lethargy are other symptoms.

I have a friend who suffers from bad anxiety and her hair got really fine. Or you could try a good cardio routine to relieve stress and also meditating or yoga to calm your anxiety, this should help alot and its much better than taking pills from the doctor. You will feel a little better if you cut off your split ends too they will only get worse if you leave them on. Plus ive heard that 25g of protein in the morning then again at lunch will maybe help too. I really hope I helped you in some way, hair loss is the worst.

Well, for someone that suffers from a marital separation this year from a smokaholic, not to mention a really bad hair dying episode over the gray matter - my hair needs a therapist. Serious therapy...on the lighter side of the spectrum, reading about all of the options can bring a spinning buzz - so glad to have checked this out - some of the not so popular suggestions found here just so happened to be my hairstylists picks...maybe she needs therapy too.

I really wish you the best of luck! Jeni

I did buy a chlorine shower filter and used it for about a year, but I didn't notice any difference in my hair or skin at all. And the water here in Vegas is really hard, so that was sort of surprising. I stopped using the showerhead because the water pressure from it was really low. I will probably buy another filter soon, though, to see if I have better luck this time around. I know the tap water where I live is really bad for your skin and hair, so even if I don't notice a difference, it's still better than showering with tap water. Louise,

Since I came to the US ive noticed that ive been losing more hair than normal, im convinced its something to do with the water. I think shower filters are definetly worth investing in, I havent used one yet but ive heard alot of good things about them. The reviews say that people notice a big difference in their skin and hair in the first week. So this may be good news for acne too ( I hope!) Hey, do you have a filter in your shower?

I read somewhere on the web that soy is good for hair loss. But now I hear that it’s not. I honestly don’t think that it is. After I read that a class of soy milk is good for hair loss I started drinking it and it seemed my hair shedding went on over drive. Then I switched back to organic milk and it seems to be a little better but still shedding. My hair is thinner then ever. I’m very depressed a crying all the time. It’s so hard to hold it back when I’m at work too. People probably think I’m crazy or bipolar. I started taking hair essentials that has Saw Palmetto in it. I’ve been taking saw palmetto for about a month and the shedding seems to have slowed a tiny bit. I know it hasn’t been long enough but we will see. I’ve also been taking biotin for about a month too and changed my diet completely. Trying to eat healthy but definitely not trying to loss weight. I’m just eating more organic food and less processed food. It’s only been a month so we will see if it works. If anyone has any more suggestions please let me know.
