A few of you know that over the last few years, I’ve gone through bouts of losing hair. It started when I had those miscarriages, and when I had both kids it happened again.
Now however, I can’t blame the kids. My hair is falling out and it’s depressing me so much.
I knew it had got bad when Lance said something to me the other day 
So now, I’m declaring Operation Jenty-hair. I’ve got to do something about it or else I’m convinced I’ll be bald in a few months.
Last time it happened I invested in Nioxin… but MY GOD it was expensive and it really didn’t work all that well.
This time, I’ve bought hair and nail tissue salts to try the natural route, and I’ve also bought Vigro tablets and a hair tonic.
Any other ideas anyone? Other than a wig? Maybe I should chop my hair off… but then I think I’ll look worse because of how thin my hair is right now.
I don’t know… I actually just feel like crying about it and crawling into a ball and wishing it away.

MPL Hair Oil with Coconut Oil. Its specially formulated to stimulate hair growth, repair damaged hair and prevent hair loss. Its cheap and available at Dischem.

I was told by two dermatologist that I have psoriasis and that there is no cure..I would loose my hair!!! I used MPL Hair Treatment and its maybe just a miracle but my hair is growing back thick and healthy!!! It’s very cheap and you can buy it nearly anywhere..even the corner shop…You have nothing to loose…;O)

Daniella’s hair was falling out in ‘chunks’!!! She is on hair, nail tissue tablets. Her hair falls out when she ist stressed!!

Perhaps you need to have your homone levels checked? My hair also feel out allot when pregnant….. I so feel for you here ’cause it scared me so much.
Please let us know how the products work for you?

I have some advice for you – I know this works too. After my mom’s big op she lost so much of her hair you could see straight through to her scalp, and she got the advice from her friend who was going through chemo and never so much as lost a hair through it all.
It’s two products that you can get from Dischem. Should cost about R200 for a month’s supply I think.
1) Alkod oil (green bottle with a red cap) – this you massage into your hair
2) Bergamot oil – this you whack into your conditioner and give it a good shake before you use it (smells like oranges)
Try it, I promise you won’t be sorry.

I have a close friend who has been battling this problem for 2yrs and she finally is able to wear her hair down again because its thickening up again. I will ask her what she is using and let you know. Her cause was stress aswell…its a vicious cycle because as soon as the hair begins to fall out then your stress soars!

I have no advice, but offer hugs. ♥

I agree with Wenchy, to first check your hormone levels, if that is not the problem then try laser therapy, it works well for certain types of hair loss. I guess it’ll be expensive for you if you found the Nioxin costly, but I think it is the best option. Also stress is a common cause, my sister’s hair fell out when she was stressed.

I agree with Wenchy on checking your hormone levels, I know my mom had a similar problem and it was a hormone imbalance.
Bergamot is also great.
And perhaps go to a dermie because it could be the skin on your scalp. A friend of mine has psoriasis on her scalp and actually had to treat the skin on her scalp to prevent hair loss.
Overall I offer my hugs as a sign of support, I can only imagine that this must be tough.

First go for blood tests. Do a full blood count, check hormone levels and check your thryroid! A “faulty” thyroid causes hair loss big time.
If those all come back clear then check your stress levels. Stress is another cause of major hair loss. Perhaps you should consider taking something for stress.
Nothing you put on your head, in your shampoo/conditioner or “additives” you take will make your hair grow if your hormones, vitamin levels, thyroid or stress levels are out of whack.
Call me if you’d like to know more.

Hi Jenty, I have twice had Alopecia Areata ( complete hairloss) – 0nce at 15 -my, that was crappy. My advice – have your thyroid checked.The if the ha falls out in a pattern- ie, circles, around a certain line or area, rush to a dermathologist – yes, it is a skin condition, and you get some that are specialists in the field. Good luck!
