I've heard castor oil helps with hair growth and repair so I've been using Pantene Fortifying damage repair shampoo with castor oil along with the conditioner. I don't know if my hair has grown any more, but it is soft and silky.

Lori, have you talked to your doctor?
I would look systemically at the hair loss. It can be a part of menopause but are there other things accentuating the loss as well like stress, medications, thyroid conditions and any thing they can do systemically to prevent more hair loss? |

The ordinary's multi peptide serum helps: https://theordinary.deciem.com/produ...y-60ml?redir=1
Also minoxidil.

I use a spray on product called Keranique along my temples when I started noticing some thinning there about a year ago. It's minoxidil but not terribly expensive (I see it on Amazon now for $17.69 and the bottle lasts me several months at a time).
I also put a scoop of Vital Proteins collagen in my tea morning and evening and it has REALLY improved the texture of my hair (and the strength of my nails, too) and stopped a lot of the shedding. My hairdresser now recommends this to all her clients of a certain age after seeing how well it's worked for my hair.

I've had so much bloodwork done over the past two years, and the only thing was mild anemia about two years ago. I changed my diet and that self corrected. Other than that, and my gallbladder removal, nothing in my bloodwork points to anything. I don't take any medications, but I try to eat a very nutrient dense diet and I try to keep up my vitamin D with a UVB sunlamp at home. I also use magnesium spray. I take a B vitamin and lactoferrin. I track my macros and most of the time eat a very balanced diet. I eat a variety of foods and get adequate protein/carbs/fats. I think it's the drop in estrogen as of late. |
