Hair question....

[McKenzie]

I use to have very thick hair with a quick growth rate.....but now it seems to be thinning and not on top/scalp.... just around the bottom it seems thinner. It doesnt feel as thick anymore and the growth has slowed tremendously. What promotes good hair and growth besides eating right or supplements, vitamins, etc????? Also, could this be attributed to thermogenic use? just curious.

I asked my hairdresser the same question and she said that the number one cause of hair lose in one specific area by women... is cause by how you sleep.... the left side of my hair used to be drastically thinner then the right untill I changed sleeping positions....

Another big cause is stress. I honestly have never heard of thermogenics causing hair loss and I have used them for quite a while along with some friends.

Keeping hair clean, and combed...... is best way to promote healthy hair, also massaging scalp when you wash your hair stimulates the folicles...

McK I honestly suggest asking your hairdresser.... and if she has no idea and it is a significant amount of hair loss... ask your doctor.

Hoped that helped?? TLG

Sounds like your hair may just be breaking off; what's your fat intake like?

And my hairdresser has mentioned the sleeping thing too - I guess your hair can catch on pillow covers, so you'd want a really high thread count.

Another thing I do - especially during the cold/drier time of year - is coat the length of my hair in mayonnaise (from ears down) and leave it on overnight.

I have long hair, btw.

My hair is below my bra line...probably mid back, but it just seems alot thinner around that area. It does tend to get dryer on the edges but I usually use the curling iron for long curls down the back and I dont blow it dry. I guess its probably either stress or I'm just gettin old. My fat intake is probably higher than it should be, but I was just wondering if there was anything I should be taking to promote good hair growth. I try to get it trimmed regularly and I usually keep it up in a clip at work cuz its too long and gets in the way. I might try the mayo treatment and see how it does. Thanks for your help girls.

my hair is about the same length....I comb it out once after washing it...and that's it, no more brushing in order to lessen breakage....in addition to that...John Freida's kelp help....put it on before you towel dry on the ends and leave it in..... and get yourself satin or silk pillow cases

EFA's you need these for nice thick hair.

Also the more you mess with your hair the more it
breaks off.

What about flannel pillow sheet covers?
