I understand. We have to remember that usually we will not have the thick hair we had in our teens-40's when we are in our 60's+. Yes, my hair came back but it took a while. I thought I was going to go bald I had so much hair loss! I recommend a good shampoo like Pureology & the conditioner. It's expensive but a little goes a long way. I also like Nexxus shampoo/conditioner with protein infusion (it's cheaper than Pureology). Do not wear your hair up a lot or in a tight ponytail as this can cause the hair to thin as well as it puts stress on the hair. Try not to wear it up when you go to bed...more stress on the hair. I shampoo less often and use a very wide toothed comb to get the tangles out after I shampoo and condition... leaning over and combing gently. Do not blow dry your hair or use a curling iron as much if you can help it. Let it air dry if you can. Use a good mousse like Joico or Kenra to make it look thicker right after you towel dry your hair. Lightly Massage it into your hair all over. Let it dry before you style your hair. Do not apply too much or you will get buildup and your hair will be stiff. Try not to use hairspray if you can help it. I personally could not tell a difference in taking biotin vitamins for hair loss. You may. I empathize as I know how it feels to keep seeing so much hair in the shower after shampooing and pieces of hair all over the place...even the pillow. I hope some of this helps you greatly. Praying for you & God bless you.
