About Nutrifol For Women 45+

Posted by judybradford @judybradford, Jul 24 7:52am

I am thinking about buying Nutrifol for Women 45+, because my hair is thinning and I cannot do a classic "updo" without revealing bare spots. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? It is very expensive so I want to be sure it will work before I buy it.

I’ve dealt with hair loss for years, I actually have male pattern balding which affects a small number of females, lucky me. The thinning out is at the temples so as you age it gets harder to hide, in my younger years I always had a high part line so my hair was fuller on both sides. I got teased a few times growing up and it was very hurtful but children can be quite cruel at times. I know for men they try to hide the thinness with a comb over but it doesn’t work too well for women. I’ve tried many products that claim to work but they never really did, one that does show results is Monoxidril, it’s topical so you rub it into your scalp, the downside is, it can affect the heart and if you stop applying it the new hair will fall out. I still have my hair and I’m 75, I have curly hair so it’s a blessing along with a good precision cutting hair stylist and it looks pretty good.

@frouke I too have male pattern baldness. It started in my 40's and now at 72 is devastating. I do not use chemicals so I never tried any treatments. Yes, lucky us. Have not tried Nutrifol either.

I have had hair breakage (I wear my hair long) problems for years). A few months ago I tried Nutrofol. I have only been taking half the dosage with no side effects. My hair has grown thicker and healthier and I no longer have breakage. My hair dresser first noticed the difference. Needless to say, I am a fan of these vitamins for thinning and breaking hair.

@fitchick Thank you!

I’ve read men’s is better since it’s stronger, but is there any downside to topical? I’m trying to envision the daily application and thinking the pill is easier. I am taking full dose 2.5 pill.
