Hair growth post-chemo?

I went through 6 months AVBD. Never lost all my hair but shaved it because it was thin, patchy and felt horrible.

Its starting to grow out again but feels and looks very weird. It is MUCH darker than before. Maybe it just hasn't been sunkissed yet? I've heard that many people have a different texture/look to hair post chemo. Just wondering about other's experience with their hair regrowth.

Also, any advice about shampoos/conditioners/products to use or avoid??

Hair growth post-chemo?

My son's hair has changed dramatically from the chemo. It used to be thin and platinum blonde. Now it is thick, more coarse, wavy and dark. I avoid cheap shampoos as it tends to dry him out badly. He uses moisturizing shampoos and conditioners as his scalp tends to get very dry now.

Hair growth post-chemo?

my mom had blonde hair before chemo, and afterwards it came out dark red, so i think that part is probably normal. she seemed to really like infusium 23 products though, so maybe you'd like that too.

Hair growth post-chemo?

very curly at first

Hair growth post-chemo?

Mine is about the same colour, but at first was very curly. It's been about a year and a half now and it is less curly but kind of wiry and wavy. I use a mild shampoo and find that my hair and scalp are drier.

Actually it was kind of fun to have a different type of hair.

Hair growth post-chemo?

the first time I lost my hair, it grew back very thick and started out curly for a couple months.....as it grew, the curls disappeared, but I had the nicest body and wave...plus it grew back in a layer look, which was not my style before it fell out. The second time I lost it, it only got back to the stubble stage before I lost it for a 3rd time!! Now it has grown back thick and the curls have stayed and it's very soft. Everyone thinks I had it permed!

I use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to keep it soft..

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

I'm a first time mum and was never told anything about this?

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

Newborn hair loss is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Babies often lose their hair during the first six months. This kind of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.

Here's why it happens: Hair has a growth stage and a resting stage. The growth stage lasts about three years, and the resting stage lasts about three months (although anywhere from one to six months is normal). During the resting stage, the hair remains in the follicle until the new hair starts coming in.

About 5 to 15 percent of hair on the scalp is usually in the resting phase at any one time, but stress, fever, or a hormonal change can cause a large number of hairs to stop growing all at once. The shedding begins when the next growth stage starts up about three months later.

A newborn's hormone levels drop right after birth, which can cause him to lose the hair he was born with. (New moms often lose large amounts of hair for the same reason.)

Parents are sometimes surprised to discover that when a baby grows a new head of hair it's a completely different color and texture than what he was born with. BabyCenter reader Julie's son Will was born with a full head of thick black hair. "He looked just like Elvis 閳?he even had sideburns," she says. "Both my husband and I are blond, and we wondered where the dark hair came from. Almost immediately after birth, though, it started falling out. The hair that replaced it is a beautiful wheat color."

If you notice that your baby has bald patches, observe the way he sits and sleeps. If he always sleeps in the same position or tends to sit with the back of his head against a baby seat, he may lose hair in that area. He may also develop a bald spot if he rubs his head against his mattress.

There are other conditions that cause hair loss, but they're very uncommon in children under 12 months old:

閳?Patchy bald spots with red, flaky scaling (and sometimes black dots where the hair has broken off) may mean that your baby has a contagious fungal infection called tinea capitis, or ringworm.

閳?Physical damage 閳?from tight ponytails, for example 閳?can result in hair loss called traction alopecia.

閳?Irregular patches of hair may fall out if your older baby twirls or pulls his hair compulsively. This is called trichotillomania.

閳?If your baby has smooth, round, totally bald areas, he may have alopecia areata, a condition in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, drastically slowing hair growth. This type of hair loss usually appears in isolated patches, although it can affect all of the hair on the body.

閳?Some medical conditions 閳?such as hypothyroidism (a thyroid disorder) or hypopituitarism (an underactive pituitary gland) 閳?can cause hair loss all over your child's head.

What can I do about my baby's hair loss?

There's nothing you can do about newborn hair loss related to hormone levels except look forward seeing your baby's new 'do.

If the bald spot is the result of your baby spending too much time in the same position, try alternating the way your baby sleeps during naps and at night. If you usually put him to sleep on his back with his head at one end of the crib, try putting him down with his head at the other end every other night. Your baby will naturally turn his head to the side to look out of the crib, so he'll be resting on a different part of his head.

If you have a sleep wedge to keep your baby from flipping over onto his stomach, you can try putting him to sleep on his left side, the next night on his back, and then the next on his right side.

Also make sure your baby spends some time on his tummy every day. In addition to giving the back of his head a break, tummy time is essential for your baby's overall physical development.

Mention your baby's hair loss to his doctor, especially after your baby's half birthday. Chances are the hair loss is normal, but his doctor can make sure that there isn't an underlying medical condition and help with treatment if there happens to be a problem. If your child has ringworm, for example, she'll prescribe an antifungal medication.

If the doctor suspects alopecia areata, she may refer you to a dermatologist for further evaluation. (Some children simply outgrow alopecia areata without treatment. Others 閳?usually older children 閳?receive medication to stimulate hair growth.)

If your baby's hair loss is due to breakage, you'll just have to treat his hair and scalp tenderly for a while until it grows back. (Keep in mind that a baby's hair is finer and more delicate than an adult's. Opt for natural styles and brush gently.)

There are no guarantees, but in most cases a baby's hair loss is temporary. There's a good chance your child will sport a full head of hair within a year.

What if my baby's completely bald?

Many new babies are bald, although upon close examination of your baby's scalp, you will probably see pale, downy, extra-fine hair. This type of baldness can sometimes last until a baby's first birthday. Until then, enjoy the maintenance-free style!

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

yes its normal they're hair starts falling off but its growing new hair it goes thru the same transformation as teeth...baby hair grows falls out and grows New beautiful hair...it'll all grow back dont worry...they also peel as well thats also normal...just in case thats happening as well

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

yes! Some babies lose all their hair and it can take months for it to come back. My son was born with a headful of long black hair- we're talking 2 inches long onthe sides nad back and have an inch on top. The top fell out around a month and half but came back in thicker and a little lighter, then the sides, and he rubbed a baldspot about the size of a half dollar on the back of his head, because he turns his head in his carseat and in his sleep! But, it's all coming back in.

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

Yes! This is perfectly normal. My daughter was born with a head full of black hair, by three months it had really thinned out and starting growing in a dark brown color. I was told babies lose their "baby" hair in the first couple months of life.

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

haha, yes, my daughter lost her hair, she had tons of hair when she was born, so when she starting losing her hair at 2 months, and had a complete bald spot by 6 months, but had all this long dark hair around it, man did she look goofy!!

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

its normal I freaked out and called my mom when my twins started loosing there hair she told me I did when I was little and it grows back. My twins are now 3 months 3 weeks and its still getting lost and growing back in thicker. Best of luck

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

perfectly normal, its all the baby hair from in the uterus, it does come back

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. My daughter was born with beautiful blond hair. It fell out after a couple of days. Then she was bald as a cue-ball until she turned two.Some babies are even born with teeth that fall out after a few months.

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

Completely normal. My son lost the hair on the top of his head, but not on the sides, so for a few months he looked like an old man! But now it's grown back in so thick on the top he always looks like he has a mohawk! Nothing to worry about.

At two months old my baby is starting to lose her hair. Is this normal?

Most babies shed the hair they are born with in the first six months of life. This type of near-total hair loss, called telogen effluvium, is triggered by the drop in maternal hormones in baby's body in the weeks and months following birth. (Hormonal shifts may similarly cause moms to shed excess hair postpartum -- a temporary loss that's usually restored within a year.) The hair that grows back on baby's head may differ in color and texture from the crop she arrived with (so don't get attached to those golden ringlets or jet-black spikes just yet!). Babies may lose hair in patches as well, if, for example, their head repeatedly rubs in the same spot against the crib mattress.

sure both my sons wereborn with alot of thick hair but at 2 months started losing it. dont worry it grows back :)

Hair Loss Help!?

Hi, i need help with my hair loss. im only 20 years old.. but im losing alot of hairs and i can see some bald spots.. also my hair is really thin.. is there any treatment to stop lossin hair and make my hair thicker? help me plz~

Hair Loss Help!?

There are severeal forms of baldenss. If it is male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) then the hairloss cannot be fully cured in mostcases, but just frozen for some time with the treatments availiable on market today.

1) Hair transplant (FUE technology) creates really natural hairline, no scars, the best way to go if you have enough donor hair and money of course.

2. Propecia (Finasteride) and Minoxidil are the only ones approved by FDA and proven to work in most men so far.

http://www.propecia.com

http://www.rogaine.com

But before you consider to start propecia you must really study about the side effects. It can mess your hormones real bad if you are not

lucky, so you must choose, hair or these side effects. Quite a big perecent have these side effects, more than Merck - the company that holds

Propecia trademark is saying. see www.propeciahelp.com

Generic Propecia (finasteride) is also ok. I use it with same results, and unfortunately same sides(a bit dry feeling in the scalp) as brand propecia. Have tried lots of herbal c..p before it and laser combs, so far the only thing that prevents my hairloss, not much regrowth, but has stopped my hairloss completely.

I buy from this pharmacy for the last 2 years - http://www.1rx.biz/generic_propecia.html . It is under $1 per pill as I buy the 90 pills. (89$ for 90)

Hair Loss Help!?

hmm, try shaving your head bald, nobody will notice and your hair will grow back thicker and quicker.

Hair Loss Help!?

This is unusual at your age. Check with your doc and see why you are losing your hair. Was you father thinning at your age too? Or his father or father's father. there are some treatments for it.

One time there wasn't anything you could do for it except buy a rug.

If you have no other symptoms like rashes

fevers and stuff like that, it may be just hereditary. But see the doc and see what can be done.

Good luck. Have a great weekend

Hair Loss Help!?

There are several possible causes of hair loss. I may be because of hormonal , improper diet, undergoing different kinds of hair treatments like coloring and straightening, and stress. Healthy diet, enough time of sleep, regulart exercise and not worrying too much can prevent this problem. I know how you feel because I once had abnormal hair falling, too.

Your hair loss may have started with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. But now you can't look in the mirror without seeing more of your scalp.

Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone 閳?men, women and children 閳?can experience hair loss.

Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves.

Change her diet- most skin/coat problems are linked to poor nutrition. For a sharpei, which are prone to all sorts of allergies, I strongly urge you to look into raw feeding.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his

he is allergic to all bug bites . he chews on himself constantly and has terrible dandruff .we keep frontline on him ,and brush him pretty often . nothing seems to help .he stays inside but still chews and loses the fur .he is only seven years old, and we would like him to enjoy the rest of his life itch free .HELP !!!!

serious answers only .

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

Vet check. Could be an allergy - food or environmental. I would have the vet do a skin scraping to see if there are any mites to determine if it is Manage. 2 types of manage - sarcoptic [contagious] or demadex. [not contagious] Demadex is a result of a weakend immune system. Mange is easily treated but takes awhile. We successfully treated 1 dog who had sarcoptic and then it went to demadex. It took him about 9 months to clear from beginning to end of treatment. He was treated with Ivermectin. We are treating another boy right now for demadex. No hair on him at all and covered in bloody wounds. We started him with the Ivermectin and it almost killed him. He was too sick [due to someone starving him almost to death] so we had to wait a couple weeks. We began treating him with Interceptor [a heartworm med] and he has responded great. We also had him on Baytril for infections in his skin. I don't know if your boy has mange, but I thought I'd pass on my mange info just in case. I see a lot of dogs in the shelter with missing hair, skin infections, etc., and they usually put them down because treatment/recovery process is slow. And there are alot Vets that misdiagnos it. Always breaks my heart because I know with the right diagnosis/treatment, they recover just fine. If it is not mange, not an allergy, maybe a different food and/or skin caps on the food to give extra hair and skin nutrition. The last thing might be boredom. Stress and lack of outdoor activity such as excersise leads them to become kinda neurtotic and they can chew themselves to bits. Best of luck to you and your boy.

ask the vet about giving him benadryl; it helped our Collie with his hot spots/itching.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

he could be allergic to the frontline. have you taken him to the vet for allergy shots? get iodine and put it on his skin for relief and get a t-shirt so he has it on and can not irritate his skin more by biting and itching it.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

he is probly itchy from dry skin... pour a can of tuna over his food and it should clear it up over a few days it like mositurizes his skin etc..

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

My dog had the exact same problem. I probably take him to the vet for professional help if I were you. We took our dog there and she's a lot better.

Hope this helps!

P.S. You can try olive oil, pour it over his food once a day. It helps their skin alot.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

What food does he eat? He could be allergic to one/some of the ingredients. Foods like Iams, Purina, Pedigree, Eukanuba, Science Diet, etc are total crap and shouldn't be fed. (Decent foods include Innova, Innova EVO, California Natural, Nature's Variety, Canidae, Wellness, Orijen, Solid Gold)

Have you gone to the vet? He can help diagnose your problem and get you on some medicine.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

Ok, this works for humans with poison ivy, so I'm wondering if it will work for dogs with a dermatological problem. Peel a banana, and then rub the inside of the peelings over the affected area. Do this every 6-8 hours or so for 3 days, and see if the scratching slows down. Best I can suggest. You can verify this remedy for poison ivy by doing a google search. I realize this is not from ivy! Just give it a try!

My puppy was losing hair on his stomach and I took him to the vet and they had me wash his stomach with iodine and let it sit for 10 minutes for a week once a day! It worked! His hair all grew back!

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

take him to a vet- dogs can get some serious infections of the skin , some caused by bugs like lice and scabies are something to worry about and should be ruled out by a experienced vet. other problems may be just involving the skin . diet can sometimes help- some issues can only be cured by medications prescribed by a vet- and are easy to solve. if your vet hasnt come up with a solution you should consult a different vet.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

my dog does that occasionally and we usually clean it out really good with hydrogen peroxide everyday and some times try and put some gauze on it! or maybe try getting a cone so they can heal! =D

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

He could be having a food allergy. You may want to change your dogs diet to a fish and sweet potato formula. "Wellness" makes it. And give your dog Fish oil pills. The Fish oil will get rid of the dandriff. The Omega 3 and 6 will put moister back into your dog skin. You also may want to try switching the flea treatment to "Revolution" That helps with all internal parasites including heart worm as well as killing flea and tick.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

there's a product called atopica - it's a cyclosporine which blocks the allergic responses in dogs.. it usually causes the pet to become nearly to completely itch free - but used only in sever cases of dermatitis. the most common side effect is GI upset because castor oil is used in the capsule but giving the product on an empty stomach helps, or adding pepcid twice a day.

the cost of the product is quite high until they get all the patents finished on the product - but the people i know that have used it, swear by it and say that it's worth it. try discussing it with your vet to see if it's the right medication for your pet.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

I have the same issue's with our golden. We have had her at the vet a few times for this. We had to try giving Diphey hydramine first. We gave her four pills a day. This didn't seem to help her at all. So now we have steroids that we give her when she starts to itch. Also if he has been itching its possible that he has got a infection from itching so hard. I was finding scabs on my girl. She got so bad at one point that she would just do this shaking thing every time she would get up.Her legs would kick and body would just shiver as if some thing were crawling on her. This time a year is the worst for her. There is just some thing in the air that does not mix with her. So if I was you I would make a vet appointment and start working on some ideas to help your boy out. I hope he gets better... Also we have to give our dog a bath every week with a medicated shampoo.

We also have to put a cone on her when we go places. Other words it hair all over the place when we come home. I do not like to give her the Prednisom (steroid) every time I have to go out to the store..

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

Sounds to me like this dog has a skin disease. It could be ringworm and it could possibly be a type of mange. Either way the dog is going to suffer if the condition isn't cured.

I know of a home remedy that could possibly cure the animal of the condition. If you're willing to try it, I am sure that it will work. If not then I recommend a trip to the Vet.

I have seen this procedure work many times with many dogs. It is messy and the dog would have to be kept outside until the treatment wears off.

The treatment is as follows. Change the oil in your motor vehicle. The older the oil the better. That will give you a minimum of approximately four quarts of oil. Find a store that sells sulphur. Mix one 3 ounce box of Swan Sulphur in the oil. Put on some plastic gloves. Mix the sulphur in real good. Bring you dog outside. Take the mixture with your hands and rub into the dog's fur until it soaks the skin. Do this especially in the affected areas.

Leave this mixture on until it wears off (about two weeks). Once the treatment has worn itself out of the fur, bathe the animal. In about six weeks your dog will have a beautiful radiant coat of fur.

Try using Vitamin E lotion. It worked on my dog.

My german shephard has some serious skin problems , and often loses the hair on the rear part of his back .?

Has he had bloodwork done recently to check thyroid levels? Skin problems can be a sign of thyroid deficiency. That's how I found out my dog has it. If he does, the pills for it are really cheap.

Tips To Stop Hair Loss %26amp; Keep Healthy Hair Here are some hair care tips that you can use to help stop hair loss and keep your existing hair healthy and looking great. Please don't take these tips lightly. They are very important . The only thing they require is your time and commitment.

- Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp and reduce excess fallout. Invert your head while you shampoo %26amp; massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.

- Essential oils %26amp; tea . To stimulate scalp circulation, massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil or rinse hair with tea made from sage.

- Comb or brush your hair and scalp gently in the morning and at night. This helps break up hardened oils (sebum) that are clogging your hair follicles. Doing this alone has produced new hair growth. Do not over do combing or brushing.

- keep a distance from dryer's heat. When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout.

- Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must.

- After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.

- Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Good hair care over a long period really makes a difference!

- Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up.

- Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.

- Strive for balance and harmony in both your personal and professional lifestyle. High stress factors can cause your body to react by fluctuating hormone levels. This in turn causes excessive oil secretion (sebum) which results in hair loss.

- Pregnancy, nursing, menopause, and even birth control medication can cause constant changing factors on your nutritional needs and hormonal levels which contribute to hair loss and excess fallout.

- Avoid "crash and fad" diets. Proper nutritious meals along with vitamin and mineral supplements are a key factor for healthy hair and skin.

- Good hair care starts with awareness. These hair care tips, if followed consistently, will reduce excess fallout, hair loss, and promote new hair growth.

- Reduce hair loss effects by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.

- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc %26amp; saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.

- The Chinese believe that hair is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney %26amp; liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleece flower root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit.

- Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!

- Get enough sleep. Sleeping well is essential for the health of your hair as well as for the rest of your body.

There are ways you can help stop the grease from appearing but you have to work at it.

Do not wash everyday. The cleaner your hair is the more it can seep into your glands and harder it is to get rid of. When you do wash make sure you are washing with a cleaning shampoo and scrubbing the build up off. Take in mind that you also have to have a ph-balanced mild shampoo and lite scrubbing is recommended. Try to avoid conditioner at the roots, apply in the middle or on the ends.

Try to avoid oil in your daily food intake. And do eat more vegetables. You could visit your doctor but only after you check and consider your diet, drugs, alcohol, and your fatty food intake. Let's face it we see what McDonalds can do to your heart in a month, can you image your hair. You would be dripping everywhere.

Maybe it's time to change your shampoo. Ask your stylist what she or he would recommend. Avoid using shine products at all costs. Keep away from two-in-one shampoos and conditioners and any frizz serums.

To fix at the moment, rub a little Talcum Powder on your dried hair at the roots. Just make sure you wash it out. I wish they would event that magic product, but this will help until they do.

Here are 10 tips for to keep your hair strong, smooth, shiny and beautiful!

1. Keep your diet balanced, and eat protein and calcium rich foods. Stay away from junk foods! This is essential for healthy hair.

2. Foods and supplements to nourish your hair:

* Beans

* Yogurt

* Almonds

* Vitamin B

* Fish

* And of course, the magic potion for beauty - WATER

3. Before washing your hair, comb it well to make sure all knots has been loosened from your hair.

4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.

5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape through your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.

6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.

7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.

8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.

9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.

10. Perming and coloring seriously damages your hair. Avoid it as much as possible. Also, when using hair setting products such as gel or putty, use as little as possible, because they hurt your scalp and hair. Wash them out thoroughly afterwards with a shampoo specially created for removing styling products.

My daughter had her hair Japenese straightening when she was 12 she lost alot of hair and and lost it's curl

I have not ever heard of "Japanese hair straightening", yet any chemical that is used to straighten the hair is permanent and can cause damage to the hair. The hair must grow out and be cut off to see it's natural texture and density. Also at that age your hair usually changes on it's own and that's probally what happened. When children enter their teens, their hair usually will become thinner and those with curly hair often lose some or all their curl. I would suggest making sure all the damaged hair has grown out to examine the curl pattern that has now developed. Then you can choose to alter it if you desire to. Also it's common for your hair to change again as you enter adult hood(about 20). So be aware that changes might occur around these times and be precautions about permanently altering the hair at these times, untill you can clearly see the new pattern and thickness.

Can you lose your hair from Loestrin FE 24???

My doctor says no, but it's in the package insert that it may cause angina, which is hair loss. My doctor tested my thyroid and it came back fine. Has anyone ever heard such a thing with this medication? I'm getting worried, because they told me that it takes 4 months to have my body get use to it and it's been 5 and nothing has changed and the doctor thinks it's something else. I just want to see if anyone has experienced this symptom before. I'm only 26, so I shouldn't be losing my hair...lol
