I have problems with iron deficient anemia and when ever i become anemic my hair starts to fall out so you may want to consider having a blood test done.

J.,
I would talk to your cosmotologist and if that doesn't help, ask your doctor. I think there are a lot of things that can cause this but I would ask. I have fine, thin hair and a shampoo that I have been using that promotes growth (length) is Mane & Tail. I bought it for my horse and started using it myself. They have a lot of damage control products under the same name. Heat can break hair and you need to protect it if you are out in the sun alot, use a lot of curlers/irons, etc. I can tell a difference after using the shampoo/conditioner/and the protectat for heat. Hope it works, but I would check with someone if it doesn't. Good Luck and God bless. S.

I'm having the same problem right now as well! I know your hair starts to fall out around 4mo or so after you have your child, but my son is 15mo! I'd think it'd stop by now?! I really don't have any advice to offer, except try some of these suggestions, as I'm going to now as well! Just wanted to let you know, you're not alone!! = ) Good Luck!

My sister and I both have thyroid problems and have had our thyroid's removed.I didn't have the hair loss problem but my sister did. I think it would be best to have that checked it is a simple blood test.

Hey J.! Yea it is kind of frustrating when your hair will not stop falling out!! Been there, done that. My daughter will be three in July and I promise, it will stop. However, I have my own business with Arbonne International and their shampoo is specifically made help make your hair soft, shiny and healthy. All of my clients who are using the shampoo have said that they have noticed that their hair is not falling out as much. Now that does not mean that it completing stopped all at once, but they said that they noticed a significant change in the amount of hair that has stopped coming out. Arbonne also has a Scalp rejuvinating cream. You put it on your scalp and rub in it and let it sit for a couple of minutes. The pores in your scal get glogged up by all of the soap scum that is left behing by all of the other store brand shampoos. You know that soap scum that is on your shower walls and the sides of your bath tubs, well that is what is in your scalp!! Gross huh, anyway, this scalp cream takes off that soap scum and allows the hair that is not able to grow through that scum to grow!! Arbonne does not clam that it "grows hair," it just allows the hair that is not growing, to grow. I hope that made sense. But I would love to tell you more about these products if you are interested. My email is ____@____.com or you can call me at ###-###-####. If not, just give it sometime and I promise, it will eventually stop falling out. Like I said my daughter will be three in July and it fell out alot until I got on Arbonne. Anyway, I hope this helped and don't hesitate to email or call. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and God bless. :)

Hey J.. I work for a dermatologist - (skin, hair and nails) we see people for hairloss all the time, it can be really hard to treat. A few things you should consider are: Is the hair breaking off or is it coming out at the root? Are you noticing that you hair is thinning or are you just shedding alot but not losing volume? Hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders and stress are a few things that can contribute to hairloss. You should consider seeing someone for a blood work up if things aren't improving on their own. I haven't heard of an over the counter shampoo that cures hairloss, sorry. But good luck and hope I helped.

Hello J.,
My mother in law has this same problem, but hers never stopped. At one time she went to a health store and got a vitamin supplement that helps with your hair from not falling out. I believe it was oxygen pills? But that just sounds weird. I know that it helped her quite a bit. It isn't going to hurt to ask someone there.
Also I would talk to your hair dresser. Mine told me that volumizing shampoo and conditioner are the worst things that you could ever use on your hair they strip your hair and dry it out so much that it can't stay healthy. She said moisturizing is the best.
I have also heard that we shed every 7 years, don't know if that is true or not, but I do notice a change in how much hair falls out every few years.
Good luck,
Michelle
