Hair Loss

[MMM]

tree nymph:

my only 'saving grace' is that i have naturally wavy hair and that helps to 'boost' up the volume of my hair. else i will need man-made hair liao!

In my case, I've fine hair. Some hairdresser call it the baby hair. It used to be very fine but now appeared to strengthen alittle after child birth. When I was in school, I need to use those small hair clips to tie my hair unless it will slipped off.... Recently with the monthly hair dye, I am experiencing hair loss, so I am now using pilfood shampoo on a daily basis. It does create more volume otherwise I will feel so conscious about my gray and little hair....

MLR:

Now, my hair loss is under control. Didn't take the tablets, cos I hate taking pills.

It's great that you benefit from pilfood as well. :lol: Actually my gp started with prescribing me with the pills + shampoo. I only took it for 1 month and sort of lax after seeing results. You might want to consider but if you hate pills and is happy with current result, then leave it.

lovekidsverymuch:

omg u use shampoo every day??? isnt bad for ur hair to wash everyday :roll:

I must wash my hair every day otherwise I will feel very conscious..... :roll:

But my impression is that it is fine to use it on a daily basis.

I used to have thick hair when i got pregnant, after that the hair continued to be thick for the next 10 years! Then i went on a low carbo diet, omiting rice totally. Lost hair gradually, didn’t know the reason initially. I tried all sorts of supplements and hair spray to no avail. Then read somewhere that if one omits staple food, one may lose hair. So i started eating rice again, but this time i started exercising to maintain my wiehgt. After 3 months, i noticed that my hair loss reduced drastically, and now after 1 year, i am beginning to feel that my hair is slowly recovering its glory.

I am recently experiencing hair loss probably due to hair dye... Need to cover grey hairs.


.

Chemical dyes will affect quality of hair. Try covering your greys with \"henna\" instead. It's a plant based and natural. It doesn't come with the colour you want but at least it is \"safe\" and you are able to cover your grey. It's supposed to thicken & strengthen your hair too. Color is like reddish brown once done.

But westmom,

Although I have heard abt the positive effects of henna, but doesn't it turn the hair colour orangy like??

autumnbronze,


hmm, the color is more reddish i think - really got to depend on your haircolor to start with and how long you leave the henna on your hair.. white hair will be more orangy. i use henna regularly - in fact i can't use chemical dye cos of my pityfully little hair. henna actually coats a layer onto the hair so the hair strand is thicker. since its not chemical, it is not harmful to the scalp. i usually leave the henna on my hair for more then 4 hours. sometimes i apply henna in the evening then i sleep with it still in the hair... so got to wear a shower cap, lay towels on the bed and pillow and sleep.

of course i do it when hb is not in town... :lol:

i went to guardian today to try to get pilfood - they are having 10% discount on over-the-counter medication. but too bad, they are out of stock. think i will go to your doc for the medication and shampoo after i finish this lotion.

Where to get Henna or how to make etc...???? I am currently using those old man's hair dye (biggen)? It comes in a tube and I only do touch up on the affected area so as not to expose my entire scalp to chemical.
