Question:
Would like information about ways to help decrease hair loss.

Although my hair is thinning now before surgery, my hair is the best thing I have going for me! Would appreciate suggestions on how to possibly decrease hair loss and know ways to bring it back once lost. Is there a specific shampo that anyone uses? Vitamins? Massage? Other?    — cynthiaellis (posted on November 27, 2000)

Protein is the biggie! I was told at least 40 grams/day by my dietician. She also suggested taking a Biotin supplement (50 grams/day). My hairstylist suggested either using Nioxin or Biolage "Energizing" Shampoo along with a Conditioner that contains Tea Tree Oil which also energizes the scalp to help with thinning hair. I haven't tried the Nioxin, but the Biolage works well and I use a Conditioner made by Kendra (another brand from my salon). I hope you find something that works for you as well.
