All You Need To Know About Hair Loss

Archive for the ‘Hair Loss Pills’ Category

someone today told me taking birth control pills will help my hair from falling off so much..
can this be true in anyway???

Birth control has no effect on your hair. However, I have heard that garlic supplements help with excessive shedding/hair loss (that isn’t caused by an illness). Also, take a multivitamin because iron deficiency can cause hair loss as well.

Does switching brands or levels cause hair loss?? Please help! I need to know soon. I am about to switch to Yasmin from Ortho Tricylen Lo. I’m thinking I shouldn’t switch cuz it might throw my hormones off and I will lose more hair. My hair is already thinning.

weird..im on the pill and my hair has been falling out like crazy…i didnt think it was related!

I’ve been on Alesse for almost two months now, and recently I started noticing a lot more hair loss, especially in the mornings, the shower, and after I brush it. I’m not really all that stressed, and I’ve always taken really good care of my hair, so I’m thinking it’s the pill but I just now started noticing the hair loss… I heard you’re supposed to stay on a new pill for at least 3 months to let your body adjust to it but it’s just so frustrating! I’m only 19 and I reeeally don’t want to lose my hair. Should I just stay on it to see if it goes away or switch pills asap? Thanks!

I would recommend going to see a Gynecologist or even just a regular doctor

If you experienced this after quitting the birth control pill, did your hair grow back like normal and how long did it take? I’m worried…

I am currently going through this issue. I was on Micronor…i got off it in September and noticed a lot of my hair was gone in January. Like you, I was very worried. I am still waiting for my hair to grow back but the falling out has slowed down drastically. You’re definitely not alone in this. There are many women suffering from the same condition ((it’s called telogen effluvium)). I don’t know if you’ve done much research on it, but women suffering from it never lose all of their hair ((somewhere around 70%)), it’s hardly noticable to anyone but you ((NO ONE noticed mine was thin until i pointed it out)) and it WILL grow back once the problem is taken care of..depending on the person, it may be exactly as it was before. My suggestions:

1. Trying taking a high dose of biotin ((in the vitamin section almost anywhere…i’m taking 5,000 mcg)). My dermatologist told me it kick starts hair regrowth and makes it grow quicker.
2. Try not to stress over it too much. High emotional stress is also a cause of TE. ((i know it’s easier said than done))
3. Use condoms, birth control is the devil…lol

Good luck with everything and remember you’re not the only one going through this! =]

or mood swings or bloating??

FALLING HAIR -

Does your hair fall a lot? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Millions of people from all around the world suffer from dry, brittle and weak hair. Some of the possible reasons for falling hair are:

Tension
Too much work
Illness
Poor diet
Over-exposure to the sun
Perming
Amateur bleaching
Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants

Here is what you can do to prevent hair fall

Shampoo regularly. Remember, a CLEAN scalp is a HEALTHY SCALP.

Brahmi amla oil also promotes hair growth.

A high protein diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables and dairy products is a must.

Drink 10-12 glass of water everyday.

Use a very mild shampoo and condition your hair at least twice a week. When you do, make sure you rinse out the conditioner thoroughly, otherwise residue build-up will cause your hair to look limp and dull.

Know your vitamins! IRON is important for healthy hair and brittle, limp hair indicates an iron deficiency. Spinach has a good iron content, so gulp it down!

ZINC helps prevent hair loss and greying. Eat adequate zinc rich foods. Overweight people tend to have zinc deficiency, which is inversely related to the body mass index. Thus if you are overweight and if your hair falls too much, you may want to increase your intake of zinc containing foods. Recipes containing stone ground, wholegrain flour are rich in zinc.

A shortfall in VITAMIN B may cause dandruff, falling hair, loss of colour and could encourage grey hair. So B group Vitamins are essential for gloss, colour and thickness.

VITAMIN C ensures the health of capillaries supplying blood to hair follicles. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.

VITAMIN E encourages hair growth. Switch from refined flours to wholemeal and wheatgerm, eggs, vegetable oil.

COPPER stops hair from falling. Studies show that the copper content in the blood serum of people with falling hair is less than normal. Different types of alopecia (falling hair) are seen to have a deficiency of this important trace element. Include small quantities of nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, seeds, whole milk and beans in your diet as these contain minute but important amounts of copper.

Homemade remedies for preventing hair fall:

Apply almond oil on scalp and massage.
Grind fenugreek seeds in water and apply on your scalp. Wash off after 40 minutes. Do this every morning for a month ¡V if it suits you! Remember, different treatments suit different types of hair.
Massage warm castor oil + almond oil into your scalp gently. Wrap a hot towel around your scalp so it gets absorbed into the hair. Do this twice a week for healthy, shiny hair.
Add 2-3 drops of honey to a glass of water and use this as the last rinse after shampooing.

Quick Hair Care Conditioner

Mix 1 egg, 2 tbs castor oil, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine. Beat until frothy and massage lightly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a hot towel, steam, then wash off. This conditioner makes hair thicker, shiny, soft and manageable.

Honey Conditioner

Beat 1-2 eggs (depending on the length of the hair), 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp olive oil. Massage gently into the scalp. Steam, and shampoo after an hour.

Alcohol Conditioner

Beat 1-2 eggs with 2 tsp brandy. Massage into your scalp. Leave for 10-15 mins. Rinse well. The egg nourishes your hair and brandy stimulates hair growth.

Your hair is a vital beauty asset, requiring constant loving care. And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yours

ESSENTIALS FOR FALLING HAIR –

Does your hair fall often Arm yourself with these tools to combat hair fall.

Wide-toothed comb

Get yourself a wide-toothed comb. This is probably one of the most important yet underutilized of all hair tools. A wide-toothed comb helps you distribute conditioner evenly all over your hair while shampooing and conditioning. In addition, it also helps get rid of knots smoothly.

The best time to get rid of knots is during conditioning. Apply conditioner and run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair.

While untangling dry hair, do so in sections. Take one section at a time, and first, untangle the ends of your hair. Do so slowly, and don?t pull unless you want your hair to fall out in clumps or break.

Don?t wait for the last minute before detangling your hair. Every night, while sitting in front of the television, run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair, until you have untangled it completely. Do this every night, and you will notice that your hair remains free from tangles.

Leave-in conditioner
Dry hair tends to tangle easily, and, needless to say, causes it to break. Make sure your hair is never devoid of moisture by always keeping a bottle of leave-in conditioner handy. The next time you feel your hair is dry and rough to the touch, simply rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner between your palms, and apply it to your hair. Comb through with your wide toothed comb. Your hair will be instantly rejuvenated and moisturized. Gradually, the texture will also improve. This is a must if you blow dry your hair regularly, or if it is chemically treated. Such hair constantly craves moisture, so get yourself a bottle of leave-in conditioner.

Oil
Olive, almond and coconut oils are all excellent for the hair. While you could apply oil as an alternative to leave-in conditioner, oil tends to make your hair sticky, and you cannot style your hair well after applying oil. Your only alternative would then be to tie up your hair. For better results with oil, apply just a few drops immediately after washing your hair, when your hair is still dripping wet. Oil doesn?t penetrate the strands as easily as leave-in conditioner does though. Nothing beats a hot oil massage followed by a steam treatment, as the steam helps the oil penetrate the hair strands, strengthening them and curtailing hair fall.

Egg
Egg is great for the hair ? there are no two ways about it! True, it causes a tremendous stink in the bathroom, and your hair may let off an ?eggy? smell, but the results are instantaneous and worth it! Egg strengthens your hair almost immediately, and the egg yolk leaves your hair shining. Whip an egg with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply it to your hair. Wash off after half an hour. Make sure you wash off with cold water though, or the egg will start cooking in your hair, and would be harder to take off! Use a scented shampoo to counter the smell of egg in your hair, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Do this for a month, and you will be amazed by the change in your hair texture and the reduction in hair fall.

im 16 and i’ve been on the pill mononessa on and off for a few maybe 4-5 months and recently i’ve noticed that im losing more hair than what i normally do and im really worried. i don’t have the thickest hair but its pretty normal but it seems thinner and its scaring me. iv’e been pretty stressed with school and things and i know that can cause hair loss but do u know if the pill can cause that too? please help me
please if you have taken this birth control pill, or any contraceptive, can you help me? should i stop taking them all together?

Pills affect everyone differently. I’ve been on three different birth control pills (Orthro Tricycline, Yaz, Yazmin) and I have noticed hair loss on my scalp. It is a side effect with almost all birth controls. I’ve always thought it was stress too until I went off those pills and my hair grew back. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

I saw that a side effect is hair loss..
I have thick hair and I’m black[if that has anything to deal with it]…Would it be likely for me to lose hair? If so, how much?

Female hair loss can also be triggered by birth control medications, certain prescription drugs.

Birth control medications can unnaturally unbalance your hormone levels. And, when this happens, hair loss will occur. To prevent hair loss, you will either want to stop taking contraceptives or you can consult your doctor about it and get your doctor to recommend you a birth control pill brand that doesn’t contribute to hair loss.

I have recently taken the morning after pill twice in two months. Since then I have not experienced any side effects except for strong hair loss and irregular periods. Every since I have taken the pill my hair started to fall out bad..I don’t know what to do about it or what to take …Could the morning after pill cause hair loss and if so what should I do about it??

Hair loss can occur for various reasons. Mostly this happens for men compared to women for various harmones. There are lot of clinically proven techniques. They are by minoxidil, finasteride, corticosteroids, antralin. Read more about the treatment in http://hair-loss.healthcare2u.net

Pleas let me know!

hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few. but anyway you can always try and get real results.

year ago I suffered from hair loss and since hair loss is hereditary my dad suffered from it too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss. the things that really worked for me was:

1) Vitamin A – an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;

2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;

3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;

4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);

5) also you should use some herbal treatment.in that case Provillus is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!

It worked and still works for me!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=749165

good luck!
