Hair help

I've noticed a few posts about getting some healthy hair tips. Since my hair is a little different though, this shouldn't be too repetitious.

For years I used to blowdry and straighten ever day, along with dyeing my hair a lot. My hair has gotten thin, so for almost a year now I've had my hair close to its natural color, and for 6 months I've let it air dry and be natural. Very rarely do I use any heat. Its gotten a little healthier, but it's still a constant battle keeping my hair from falling out. Its also still a little dry, but as im trying to let it grow out I only want to trim it little by little. Also, it gets dirty fast so I feel like I have to wash it once a day. Any advice on how to keep my hair from falling out, be softer and stronger, and maybe grow a little faster?

Have you tried taking biotin? It helps with your skin, nails, and hair. My stylist recommended that I take it before my wedding (I needed a little bit more hair for the style we were going for), and I ended up easily growing 3 or 4 inches of hair between December and May. Not to mention my nails also got stronger and my skin was the best it has ever been- Not bad side effects ;p

Do you wear your hair up a lot? I know the pressure from pulling your hair back tends to make hair loss worse- I'm a big offender with that in the summer.

So glad you mentioned biotin because I really wanted to try it and forgot to mention it in my post. I will def try it then, I keep hearing good results from it. For about 2 months I would just put my hair up and then stopped because I found out thats a cause for hair loss, so I don't put it up anymore unless I have to.

I was just going to post something similar. My hair is the worst it's ever been, it's not thin but it's very dry I try to not put any heat to it unless it really needs it. 

 

Anyway I saw the Wen hair products and was wondering if anyone has used it. But I bumped into this post, do you mean biotin the pills? Its cause I googled it and found out that some shampoos also have biotin,Im just wondering if that also helps with dry hair?

TIA

Bridget! Wen is really good stuff! I would use it all the time if it wasn't so darn expensive, but im on my last tiny bit of it

Well, it does seem expensive that's why I was looking on eBay, I thought maybe I could get it cheaper. I was wrong... I'm gonna order it next week, I hope I'll let you know how I feel with it.

 

Thank you girl

I've been having the same problem with my hair falling out. Over the last year, its gotten extremely thin. I started taking a multi and 5000mcg biotin everyday. Shampoo with p.zinc (dandruff shampoo) is supposed to be good with helping hair fall less. Also, I've been using nizoral shampoo. Its been proven to help with hair loss. Its about $16 a bottle but you only use it 2 or 3 times a week.

It's natural for some hair loss to occur after pregnancy as well. But if you're not pregnant and you're still suffering hair loss and can't make heads of tails of it, it might be a good time to talk with your local physician. Just to be on the safe side.
