What helps with hair loss?

I have a noticeable sprig in the front of my hairline and that’s taking half dose. Plan is to increase the dose. How much are you taking?

I also wanted to add that my thyroid has been checked and it was fine…I have male pattern baldness, I lose my hair at the temple and in the crown…it’s not common so I feel like a freak…I’ve had this since I was a young girl and I still remember the hurtful teasing I got in school, children can sometimes be very cruel. I learned to style my hair later on to hide it but I would use hairspray to keep it in place, I must say the wind was not my friend 👍😊

Oh dear, losing hair is never a pleasant thing to have happen! How long has this been going on?
I’m not familiar with using clove oil for hair growth. Hopefully other members might chime in on the conversation to talk about their experiences.
But if you do use it internally, be aware that too much clove oil can have some serious and unpleasant side effects as well as interfering with medications. I found a good article for you that delves into clove oil a little further.

What pops into my mind first is, why is this happening? What’s going on in your life that may have brought about the hair loss?
Have there been any changes in your life recently such as stress, different medications, illness? Any hormonal changes due to menopause or using birth control? Chemotherapy? Thyroid problems? As you can see here are so many factors that can affect our hair.

There are a number of links you might find of interest discussing hair loss and some solutions.

I am including one of Mayo's Q and A on treating hair loss:

Healthline – Biotin for Hair Growth: Does It Work? https://www.healthline.com/health/biotin-hair-growth
NIH – Biotin https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/natural/313.html

We’ve had members having some success with using Biotin which is a natural Vitamin B supplement. There are other products on the market which help promote hair growth as well as slowing down the loss. Rogaine is an over the counter product at drug stores. I’ve used a shampoo and conditioner called Nioxin which really helped stop the loss.

But most importantly, if this persists, it might be in your best interest to see your primary care physician to make sure there is no underlying physical reason such as low thyroid level. Have you seen a doctor about this?

Hi!! Better late than never! I started taking a scoop of collagen powder in any drink you like a couple years ago and I can say my hair loss has slowed way down to almost nothing and my nails are healthier!!

I see the original post is old, but thought I’d chime in.

My endocrinologist suggested iron supplement every other day, mine is about 18 mg (hard to find a low dose iron pill) and Vitamin D, 2000 mcg.

He also said Biotin can mess with some blood work. I didn’t ask which blood work. I just don’t take it.

I had been shedding like crazy for over six months, my used to be thick hair! After a number of months on this regime, all has calmed down!! If the iron and Vitamin D didn’t help, he would offer me minoxidil, but I don’t need it now.

@willow5, I have begun taking 2000 IU vitamin D and my doctor recommended Hair, Skin, & Nails and there is biotin in those soft gels. There are 5,000 mcg biotin. I don't know if this is going to help. I was glad your problem settled down. I may be on the right path and I thank you for providing your experience. With all good wishes, @joybringer1

I take biotin, it helps some, but hair is still shedding, my Dermatologist recommended Nutrafol, I tried it and gave me diarrhea really bad, also is expensive. stopped taking it because of diarrhea.
