Question by Lifeisfullofquestions: LOSING MY HAIR AND HAIR IS THINNING. (PLEASE HELP ME AFFECTING MY LIFE!!!)?
Hey to start of im a 19 years old (Male). Baldness does not run in the family, my dad is 55 and still has hair on his head. My mom also has a huge amount of hair left and shes 48. To get to the point my hair is thinning and im losing hair. To give you some background information it cant be my diet, because i take a multivitamin and fish oil supplement every day, i workout 5 times a week, i eat loads of fruits and veggies and protein through out the day (I barely eat fast food or outside). I take a shower every day and shampoo and condition only twice a week. Please give me some natural tips on what to use on my hair to stop thinning or hair loss or just in general make my hair healthier.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

“To give you some background information it cant be my diet, because i take a multivitamin and fish oil supplement every day, i workout 5 times a week” There you go! Fish oil: Do you know if the label states that the fish oil contains ‘one or more of the following: Cod, English Whiting, Shark,” even snake oil. Can you taste the shark?
Dove hairfall facts:
1. Humidity makes hair dry and brittle, leading to hairfall
2. Colouring the hair damages the hair strands leading to breakage
3. Pollution is also an unseen killer of healthy hair
4. Tangled hair is the most common reason for hair fall
5. While shampooing cleanses your hair, regular conditioning is required for adequate moisturization. Regular use of conditioner post shampoo also solves the problem of entangling which is the major cause of hairfall.
HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair’s worst enemies. You’ve got any of those on your hair?
Supplements, medications, anti-acne products, hair oil, birth control pills, pollution in the water, to name just a few . . . ALL HAVE SIDE EFFECTS. Example: “I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair. I don’t know if it is temporary or I have to seek medical treatment.” YA poster 9-27-12. Four men are charged in federal court for selling home-brewed hair growth drugs online. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54991911-78/ahn-growth-hair-kim.html.csp
Any reactions to a drug – like Vitamin B complex which is a supplement – ‘side effect’ is a negative reaction to a drug – this is your body telling you that what you just gave it is toxic to it, and instead of helping you, it is actually hurting you. It is your body’s way of telling you to stop. All drugs have side effects, and are toxic…even lethal…to some people at some dosage. Another term for toxic is poisonous. We owe it to ourselves to try less toxic treatments first. Especially since too many drugs merely cover up symptoms rather than treat the underlying cause of the symptom in the first place.

“You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesn’t get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,” Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.
Man-made products & supplements can do more harm than good.
Beginning in February 2008, they experienced one symptom after another: diarrhea, joint pain, HAIR LOSS, lung problems, and fingernails and toenails that fell off. FDA has received numerous reports of harm associated with the use of these products, including stroke, liver injury, kidney failure, heart palpitations, and death. 3-15-11. Pills like medications ALL have side effects. Beware. Example: “I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair.

When hair starts to fall out MORE, there are no hair products or treatment, that are made of glue to fix, prevent, reverse hair from getting damaged or hair falls. It is a trillion dollar business, and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair falls.
Eliminate the ’causes’ and your hair will improve.
What should you do if you think that you may have hair loss? First, call your dermatologist today! If you don’t have one, visit the “Find a Doctor” portion of the website of the American Academy of Dermatology. Secondly, when you visit your dermatologist, have a list of your medications, allergies, medical conditions and your hair care practices (for example: relaxers for 20 years, hot combs for 10 years, no weaves, braids with extensions for two years and natural styles for the last 5 years). Do not be afraid if your doctor suggests blood test, a scalp biopsy or culture. These procedures are recommended so that the doctor can determine the type of hair loss that you have and treatment can be started. ~Susan C. Taylor, MD
