RE: How Do I Thicken My Hair?

Oprah swears by collagen tablets. She calls them a fountain of youth. I have ordered them online and recently started taking them. They are supposed to improve hair, skin and nails. It is too early to tell if it works, but the product reviews were very positive.

Hi, it may be hormone or stress related. I too lose my hair and have done so for years. I use to get cortozone shots in my head but the doctors today are not to quick to help with that option. My cousin just had a baby and lost it by the tons. Her doctor told her to take flack seed oil suppliments (about 2 to 3 a day) and her hair grew back even thicker. That's the hormone cause, I'm sure, but I've decided to give it a try as well. Will let you know my outcome in a couple of months. Good luck!

The Vitamins are a good idea. I have very soft and thin hair also. I might try them.

But, about a month ago I read how good geletine is for hair and nails, so I have been enjoying Jello.
The first thing I noticed in about two weeks was how long and stronger my nails were! Then I began to notice new hair growing on the top sides of my head.
I started to grow new hair where it had thinned out.
My hair has actually grown thicker. I have not made my own jello from geletin, I've just been buying the Grape Jello (made by the Jello Co.) I have stuck with Grape Jello because the ingredients are better.
What an improvement within a short time. I take it about 3 or 4 times a day. Even just 4 tablespoons.
And think what a cheap way this is to get what our hair and nails need. Now I have Jello in my fridge all the time.

Your hair will thicken back up if you take folic acid and if you are not on vitamins you should take a one a day womens vitamin and for about a month or two take the folic acid until your hair comes back in. People don't know that many drugs we take deplete the nutrients in your body. I kept getting cramps in my leg. Turns out a medicine I was taking depletes the potassium in you body. It says plainly on the literature to the drug that patient should take potassium while on this drug. Did my doctor tell me this? No.

Eat foods that contain biotin (like carrots). When my diet is good, my hair and nails grow healthy and faster.

I sug to get a hair piece for the top of your head. If that's where your hair is thin or get wigs like lot of people do,you can not tell you are wearing a wig. Go to wigs online. Pick the price you want to pay. They will send a free catalog, good luck.

I'm not on medication but I have baby fine, thin hair. I found this. Well, it's not "shampoo" they call it conditioning cleanser, it's on QVC, and it's called WEN.

I called them and the young girl said that it's best used daily, which is not what I was doing.

Now I'm using it every day or maybe every 2 days and my hair is noticeably thicker - even my neighbor made mention of if, and believe me she rarely has anything nice to say!

I buy two of them and mix them together: almond mint and cucumber aloe. It's pricey, but my crowning glory is important to me.

I also have the almond mist mask - again, pricey but my hair is loving it.

Also - and I think this is important to you, my scalp feels radiant! A healthy scalp means healthy hair. You might avoid gels - they are drying, and that can lead to breakage - we need every strand we've got !

I can't remember which of the prescription meds that I am on, but I am on meds for diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol; getting back to not remembering which one, anyway I few years ago I did an online search, about things to use to stop my hair from falling out and/or help it to grow back. Anyway I came across a list of med that could cause hair loss, and one or more of my meds could cause it. I printed it out and took it with to the doctor the next time I went. I showed it to him and told him that I knew I would have had to take the meds anyway, but a warning would have been nice. He told me a little hair loss was a minor side effect.

I sat there thinking this was coming from a man who shaved his head. Anyway since then some of my hair has come back(at one time I had a spot about the size of my hand that was almost completely bald.) My hair is really thin and baby fine. I never had great hair to begin with, and it is worse now. Due to having psoriasis on my scalp I can't get perms or color it. I keep my hair really short because I have bad shoulders and can't raise my arms up for a long enough period of time to fuss with my hair. It is a real pain, you know where.
