O/T Hair Loss
This is off topic but I thought I would post here to see if any of my fellow Stalkers have any advice or experience you can share with me. Due to my chronic health conditions I often have to take prednisone and other imune suppressant drugs on a daily basis, over the years this has caused me massive hair loss, a few years ago I lost pretty much all my hair to the point I had to wear a hat, I have somewhat recovered some hair but not like I used to and I know it's unlikely I ever will but I'm just wondering if any of you has any similar experiences and has tried anything that works? I have been wondering about trying Rogaine but due to the cost I would like to possibly hear from someone who may have had results with it before buying, I know everyone reacts different but I would still like some insight if anyone has tried it or about any other products out there that you may have had good results from. I take several hair vitamins already and only use natural products on my hair. Thank you in advance.

I don't have any real experience, but it sounds like you would want to address two things here
1. hair loss. To encourage hair growth, when you shampoo, massage your scalp for a couple of minutes as this encourages hair growth. OGX also a new product with caffeine and niacin that they claim promotes hair growth, that I've seen good reviews in beauty mags about. It would be something inexpensive to try. https://www.ogxbeauty.com/hair/niacin-caffeine/
2. Thinning hair. So you want to keep the hair that you have from getting damaged so that means no heat tools, minimal washing, and if you must use hair dryer, only style with your fingers while drying. Also a coconut oil mask on the nights before you wash will do wonders I promise. I don't have a thinning hair issue, but I do have damaged hair from coloring and flat ironing. I tried biotin and expensive shampoos and conditioners and what finally worked was the coconut oil and refraining from washing my hair every day. Also Olplex works wonders. It is a bit pricey, but you only need a little bit and you only use it once a week. You should be able to get it from any hairdresser or of course on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Olaplex-Perfector-Repairing-Treatment-Ounce/dp/B0...

You should see my hair from post partum hormones.... My hair line went bald. I have baby 1 inch hair growth now, big time at my temples. It's pretty hideous. I have thin hair to begin with, now it's like zombie hair from the walking dead. I look like sh!t.

I've tested and done it all and it came down to... stress - shed hair like a Labrador, hormones and BC - shed hair like a german sheppard, Hormones being unbalances is the worst culprit in shedding hair and then stress...
