I have bought all kinds of viatmins and some of that fibre stuff, but that is only any good if you have enough hair in one spot to help it stick
I BOUGHT SOME OTHER VERY WELL KNOWN TABLETS, CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME NOW, BEGINS WITH A v, VERY EXPENSIVE AT AROUND ?50, NO GOOD,
Oh sorry caps on, can't be bothered to go back and do it all again


Just remembered tablets called Viviscal

Hope it's okay to post here as I'm stuck at the moment, I'm really worried about my teenage daughter as she has started losing a lot of hair, she's got very thick hair but we are finding it all over the place and it's really concerning me. Have been trying to book her in with the drs but the CV is causing bedlam with that so have to try again today, have read it could be thyroid or stress at her age. Did any of you just suddenly start losing loads x

Hi Countrygirl I had the Same with my daughter a few years ago, it was because her iron was low. Once she started her iron tablets everything went back to normal. She also altered her diet which was a big help.

Hello ladies.

I saw a doctor who specialised in treating low iron conditions with infusions. He said the best and safest form of iron supplementation was a product called Spatone which is iron rich water in sachets.  He suggested taking one sachet every other day as this method increases  absorption. He also mentioned that his wife successfully used this treatment after giving birth.

Hopefully this helps anyone worried that low iron is causing their hair to thin.

Take care everyone.

I'm not short of iron. i have too much and have to have it taken out, so that's not my reason for hair loss

[Countrygirl]

My daughters bloods came back okay, but it's still coming out at 100's of hairs a day and she's only 15. It started around a month ago, dr doesn't seem concerned said it's probably stress down to this corona as it started roughly the same time. I'm not sure what we can do to help her x

I really think a lot of things including hairloss are put down to stress, because they don't know,or sometimes cant be bothered to look into it
I am lucky that the derm i am seeing is also a GP at my surgery,and consultations are free but some Drs i saw there in before didn't help

There is a programme on BBC Radio 4 today, covering products for thinning hair.  It's on at 9.30am, so if you miss it, it will be on Sounds.

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread, is the name of the programme.

I too tried the gummy tablet..nice like sweets but did NOTHING for hair and nails..nails if anything are worse.  although probably not due to the gummys!
Did Viviscal work for anyone?

As you have  said before stellajane ,it's easy to say don't let your hair take over your life, but it doesn't help it either, very embarrassing,to have bald patches that show ,
Some people might be  able to not care,but i bet most do

I try not to stress over it but I spend a lot more time now trying to make my hair look fuller.  I have special thickening shampoo, thickening conditioner. I have a mousse which I put on towel dry hair and I turn my head right over before drying it with a special big attachment on.  I brush it as little as I can to avoid more hair coming out in the brush.  Prior to this I just washed and left to dry naturally so it is taking over my life to an extent. 

I find myself wanting to throw things  at young girls on shampoo adverts on TV who casually toss their lustrous, thick hair over their shoulders.
