I've had hair loss since my first pregnancy at age 17, and with each pregnancy after. I'm now 75 and nothing I tried helped...until I found Naomi Whittel's Hair Nutrition.Her company is called OMI. I actually now have lots of new hair growing in, and it looks so much better! I've used it for around 9 months at this point and will l continue as long as I'm able. I take natural hormones; progesterone, estradiol (patches) and bio identical testosterone, and noticed after starting the testosterone that my hair was looking even thinner.....The Hair Nutrition is helping with that too.
I noticed my hair thinning in the crown area (classic male pattern hair loss) in my early to mid fifties. I tried minoxidil but didn’t feel it helped and I didn’t care for the way it made my hair feel. I figured I’d just let it be.
In my early sixties I was diagnosed with mild prostate enlargement and I started taking finasteride. My hair thinning stopped and my hair has thickened some after ~5 years. For me no side effects.
The dose for enlarged prostate (brand name Proscar) is double the dose for thinning hair (brand name Propecia). The research says that more is not better for hair loss so you wouldn’t take the higher dose in that case.
I found the below article interesting and timely but it doesn’t stipulate if it’s for male or female hair loss.
I also had unusually thick hair and never thought I would lose this much as I got older – I have tried many options such as vitamins, iron supplements, shampoos etc but none seem to work. My GP prescribed Spirolactane, which I have used in the past but there are so many mixed reports on the side effects of this drug, I only completed one course.
Do you have any recent research on female hair loss? it is more common than people are aware. It is a very stressful experience.
