My hair is so important to me, I understand your pain. I used to have beautiful auburn hair (which I didn’t fully appreciate at the time) but it is gradually turning very dark brown - it’s like losing part of my identity.

I do still have very thick hair but have spots missing because of scratching/picking my scalp repeatedly in the same spots over a couple of years and damaging the hair follicles - I feel so stupid knowing I’ve done it to myself. I also worry because my hair is receding and I don’t like to tie my hair back as that makes it more obvious.

Other people tell me I am being silly and it’s not anywhere near as noticeable as I think. I suspect this could be the same for you - you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed by it and it’s so noticeable to you but actually, other people probably don’t notice anywhere near as much.

Could you find a new way to style your hair to try and disguise the parts that embarrass you?

Talk to your hairdresser. Some shampoos work for this.

I have tried several plus biotin

I'm using

Bosley shampoo. My hair is def falling out less.

I don't have any thinning spots in my scalp. The hair was just coming out in strands. This shampoo has slowed that down a lot.

I tried the biotin. It didn't work for my hair but did for my nails.

Talk to your hairdresser, and/or a dermatologist.

I’m going through severe stress hairloss it’s the worst it’s been and counting. I’ve gone through this before. Buying a saw palmetto tincture liquid from health food store with a dropper I put a few drops on my head it helps it takes a bit. I’ve referred others to this it worked fir them. Also taking powdered green drinks everyday it’s gross but you will notice results. I used to take Viviscal supplement for hair growth it’s expensive but I noticed it worked after 3 months a saw the the difference fir sure. Hope this helps.
