Hair loss shampoos - trichotillomania?

I suffer from trichotillomania ( hair pulling) i have stopped for the past 4 weeks. I would like a shampoo/product that will encourage my hair growth and make it look thicker as i feel that a more noticable affect will allow me to fight the urge for hair pullin. There is a treatment but that is 拢1500!!!Hair loss shampoos - trichotillomania?
There is nothing you can put on the outside of your hair that is going to make your hair grow faster. There are some coating products that will make your hair slightly heavier and feel thicker, but they also may have unpleasant side-effects.





Now that you have stopped the pulling, you just need to wait and let the hair grow back. It most often will. There may be a few roots that have been very damaged and the hair may be slightly deformed, or misshapened. Rarely, some roots will have been destroyed and will never grow back.





The best thing is just to leave it alone, and it will grow back. Have patience.Hair loss shampoos - trichotillomania?

Do hair growth shampoos not hair loss shampoos damage my hair in the future?

do hair growth shampoos not hair loss shampoos damage my hair in the future or do they have lik effects in the futire 10 point best and complete answerDo hair growth shampoos not hair loss shampoos damage my hair in the future?
It really isn't the product per se that will damage the hair but what is in it...such as duplicating products with silicone, which will shine the hair, make it very soft and healthy looking but over use will build layers onto your hair causing it to become weak and break, also products with alcohol as the primary ingredient is very drying. But there are NO shampoos that grow the hair-there are medicated shampoos that prevent hair loss but many of those (Rogaine) have to be used on a continued basis or you will get the same result. Growth of hair is created by stimulating the scalp and keeping your hair and scalp clean and keeping damaged hair (ends) cut.Do hair growth shampoos not hair loss shampoos damage my hair in the future?
lol ..
There are no such shampoos for hair growth. Depending upon the condition of your hair, you can use mild shampoos, normal shampoos or extra conditioning shampoos.
Hair loss shampoos help hair grow back. Hair growth shampoos don't work. There is no shampoo out there currently that can make your hair grow longer.
I think these shampoos have effected your ability to spell.
dont know.i want my hair to grow faster.
No

Where to get hair loss shampoos?

where can i get a hair loss shampoo at like a drug tore? how much does it cost?Where to get hair loss shampoos?
Hi there,


you can get them in stores or pharmacies. I personallyI use a product (here in the UK) called ';Alpecin'; that works very well for me (maybe search for it in Google). I pay 拢7 (about $10) and I also use the after shampoo every day. I reckon it last about 3 months or more (I have short hair and going bald... :(


it was recommended by my friend (also my hairdresser) and I buy it from her but I believe you might find it in pharmacies.





Having said that, I do not promote that product in any way as I only speak for personal experience so please before you part with your money, check it out and see if it suits what you are looking for or ask the doctor!





Hope it helps! :)Where to get hair loss shampoos?
You can buy hair loss shampoos at most hair salons but they tend to be a bit useless to be honest. I just found this product called Provillus and it's the only FDA APPROVED product on the market. Ive posted a link for you to check it out.


Aloha
I would do some of your own research to try and find a product that you think will work. I don't think that the local guy down at the drug store will be able to tell you too much. Search through some of the posts here on Yahoo Answers.

You could possible to to your local drug store and ask for it. I believe that prices will differ from place to place.

Can I Use Hair Loss Shampoo On Just Thin Hair?

I have bought several sachets of hair loss shampoo called ';Propoline';





I have hair thinning on just the right side of my head. It gets real knotty and when you towel dry it, it is so thin it doesn't move from that position, like water is a natural gel when i get out of shower.





If i wanted to use this would I just use the shampoo on the one side of my head where there is thinning hair or do I use it all over?





Also would this actually help for just solely making thinner hair thicker and more lively?





I need to know ASAP.





Thanks.Can I Use Hair Loss Shampoo On Just Thin Hair?
Sorry! but no shampoo or anything you simply apply to hair is going to significantly stop thinning. There is a`wonderful treatment that is NATURAL, safe, and truly stops loss almost straight away and has helped others on ANSWERS.(can send you info.) It also forces new growth. Massage thoroughly with olive or any natural oil - then brush vigorously using a palm held brush with short natural boar bristles - soft bristled for fine straight hair and stiff bristled for thicker non straight hair- so you really feel it stimulating scalp - 90 /100 strokes at beginning building up to more - each day, focusing on where loss is. Will heal scalp and unplug blocked hair ducts that sometimes cause loss - they are the painful small itching spots. A little shedding and breakage may occur at first but quickly stops as brushing makes hair stronger and better anchored. It will grow fast, thicker and It will force the new growth. Initially new hairs will be weak looking and sparse. Don't be concerned if brushing uproots them as they will re-appear even stronger. My hair has completely regrown on crown. Where receded at front regrowth was slower and sparse at first then each month it became denser. It demands perseverance week in, week out to get the same results.


Thinning and loss can be caused by many shampoos - particularly anti dandruff ones - and hair products that contain countless hair, scalp and even health harming harsh and toxic ingredients. Washing hair too frequently is another cause - removes beneficial natural oils and contributes to loss. Find ';Non harmful shampoos, etc'; with Google searches. Some will come up and be expensive or only available on-line so refine search by adding ';low cost'; and ';available in stores'; Find in GNC ,Trader Joes, Some Walmart Stores, Cost Plus, Wegmans, Earth Fare, natural %26amp; health foods stores.


I Have had feed back from someone who has had even more success using treatment. His has substantially regrown in just 6 months.


Wish you the best.

  • Trichottilomania hair loss shampoo?

    i have trichotilomania and i am female and used to have long very thick hair, and i pulled out half of it, alot of it is gone and it feels thin now. i cant do certain hairstyles but theres no bald spots or anything now its just thin


    how do i grow the hair back


    what kind of shampoo do i use? im a young female in my 20s.


    what kind of conditioners, what can i eat or what kind of vitamin?





    any kind of miracle cure? i dont want to take female rogain on my hair since i hear if you stop using it it dosnt work anymore and im kind of lazy and stink at sticking to routines.


    ill forget it or misplace it somewhere and it wont work anymore





    is there something else safer i can doTrichottilomania hair loss shampoo?
    year ago I suffered very much from hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.


    the things that really worked for me was:





    1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





    2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





    3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





    4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





    5) also I used herbal treatment - TrichoZed


    It is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!





    It worked and still works for me!





    I do not know if any pharmacies carry TrichoZed but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.trichozed.info/why.php





    It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) - a major cause of hair loss!





    good luck!

    i saw an indian girl on ripley's believe if or not that had trichotilomania and her stomach started hurting really badly like unbearable pain but when they did ex rays they said her stomach had nothing in it because x rays don't detect hair. when she underwent surgery, she had a 10 pound ball of hair removed from her stomach and it was pretty much as big as her whole stomach and they still have that glob of hair in the ripley's museum. my point of my story is, eating your hair is a nasty habit and you should have more self control than to do it. your hair that you pulled out will eventually go back but you will never see progress if you continue to eat your hair. i suggest horse shampoo called ';tail and mane';. i use it because heard it makes your Hair grow faster and it really does. horse shampoo is available anywhere now a days. my best friend uses pregnancy pills to make her hair grow faster and that method has been extremely effective for her too. but they make you gain a lot of weight but they are effective for people that want long hair growth.

    Do hair loss shampoo's make you thin out faster? :S?

    i always hated my hair thinning out, so i have tried hair loss shampoo's but i always notice my hair thins out faster then it does when i use normal shampoo, dont get me wrong im not going bald, its just a small bit of front corner thinning, but its quite annoying





    i have tried some anti-hairloss and anti-hairful BEWANG chinese shampoo which has all natural ingrediants, and it seems like i started to notice hair looks like it thinned more 2 days later





    is that normal? :SDo hair loss shampoo's make you thin out faster? :S?
    try hair oil; it really works! put it on at nite before bed and wake up and shampoo it off. usually coconut hair oil works the best but try others to suit ur hairDo hair loss shampoo's make you thin out faster? :S?
    If you're in HS and you're experimenting hair loss, beware of buying anything Made in China.


    No it's NOT normal if it doesn't run in your family.





    Many reasons why it does that!


    Are you taking pills, supplement, medications?





    Are you perming, straightening, dyeing it?





    Are you eating healthy foods? Going on a diet? Stressing out or something?





    You're hair is crying out for help. You need to talk to a doctor so they could figure out what's wrong if IT'S NOT mentioned above.





    DYK the hair industry is a billion dollar business? Their job is to make promises, say anything so we could buy buy buy and for them to sell sell sell so they can build another mansion in a secluded island somewhere and to buy Lamborghini for their collection?

    HOPE I HELPED =)
    You need to use a hair treatment like provillus. I've been on it for 5 weeks and i must say there is a major improvement in my part. It has all the vitamins your hair needs and much more.I've used it and I had very good results.Provillus contains the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to re grow hair.





    I am sure this product will be worth your time for a second look since your money would be going into the right hands. In a survey conducted, 18 out of 20 people experienced a drastic change after using this product. None experienced any side effects.





    Provillus offers the best possible and perennial solution for this problem for both men and women. One of the best parts of the provillus treatment is that it uses natural ingredients. This has accounted for its rising popularity. Thus it leaves the other products behind in this context, since most of the products contain harmful chemicals.





    Provillus basically functions by removing the main cause of hair loss i.e. DHT. DHT damages the hair follicles and is responsible for the thinning of hair. It also restricts the re-growth of new hair. Provillus prevents its formation and it also promotes the growth of the new hair.





    I use it once a day every evening. The area which i was balding in was the top middle portion of my head, not sure why cause no one in my family is loosing hair accept me so its not genetic. I have regrowth in that area, few strands are coming up and my wife says its so much better than it was before.





    Well you might be aware that it is available for both men and women. The saw palmetto extract is basically present in the men's version whereas a combination of acids is present in the female version. Thus in addition to the solution of problem of hair loss it also nourishes hair.





    Till now Provillus has been getting positive feedbacks so you needn't worry and instead be assured. It offers the its users complete satisfaction.

    FALLING HAIR -








    Does your hair fall a lot? Don't worry, you're not alone. Millions of people from all around the world suffer from dry, brittle and weak hair. Some of the possible reasons for falling hair are:








    Tension


    Too much work


    Illness


    Poor diet


    Over-exposure to the sun


    Perming


    Amateur bleaching


    Too frequent and inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants








    Here is what you can do to prevent hair fall








    Shampoo regularly. Remember, a CLEAN scalp is a HEALTHY SCALP.





    Brahmi amla oil also promotes hair growth.





    A high protein diet with plenty of fruits, green vegetables and dairy products is a must.





    Drink 10-12 glass of water everyday.





    Use a very mild shampoo and condition your hair at least twice a week. When you do, make sure you rinse out the conditioner thoroughly, otherwise residue build-up will cause your hair to look limp and dull.





    Know your vitamins! IRON is important for healthy hair and brittle, limp hair indicates an iron deficiency. Spinach has a good iron content, so gulp it down!





    ZINC helps prevent hair loss and greying. Eat adequate zinc rich foods. Overweight people tend to have zinc deficiency, which is inversely related to the body mass index. Thus if you are overweight and if your hair falls too much, you may want to increase your intake of zinc containing foods. Recipes containing stone ground, wholegrain flour are rich in zinc.





    A shortfall in VITAMIN B may cause dandruff, falling hair, loss of colour and could encourage grey hair. So B group Vitamins are essential for gloss, colour and thickness.





    VITAMIN C ensures the health of capillaries supplying blood to hair follicles. Make sure your diet includes plenty of fresh fruits and veggies.





    VITAMIN E encourages hair growth. Switch from refined flours to wholemeal and wheatgerm, eggs, vegetable oil.





    COPPER stops hair from falling. Studies show that the copper content in the blood serum of people with falling hair is less than normal. Different types of alopecia (falling hair) are seen to have a deficiency of this important trace element. Include small quantities of nuts, especially cashews and peanuts, seeds, whole milk and beans in your diet as these contain minute but important amounts of copper.








    Homemade remedies for preventing hair fall:





    Apply almond oil on scalp and massage.


    Grind fenugreek seeds in water and apply on your scalp. Wash off after 40 minutes. Do this every morning for a month 隆V if it suits you! Remember, different treatments suit different types of hair.


    Massage warm castor oil + almond oil into your scalp gently. Wrap a hot towel around your scalp so it gets absorbed into the hair. Do this twice a week for healthy, shiny hair.


    Add 2-3 drops of honey to a glass of water and use this as the last rinse after shampooing.








    Quick Hair Care Conditioner





    Mix 1 egg, 2 tbs castor oil, 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp glycerine. Beat until frothy and massage lightly into your scalp. Wrap your head in a hot towel, steam, then wash off. This conditioner makes hair thicker, shiny, soft and manageable.








    Honey Conditioner





    Beat 1-2 eggs (depending on the length of the hair), 1 tsp honey and 2 tsp olive oil. Massage gently into the scalp. Steam, and shampoo after an hour.








    Alcohol Conditioner





    Beat 1-2 eggs with 2 tsp brandy. Massage into your scalp. Leave for 10-15 mins. Rinse well. The egg nourishes your hair and brandy stimulates hair growth.





    Your hair is a vital beauty asset, requiring constant loving care. And with a little nurturing, lush, glossy hair will be yours.





    ESSENTIALS FOR FALLING HAIR -











    Does your hair fall often Arm yourself with these tools to combat hair fall.











    Wide-toothed comb








    Get yourself a wide-toothed comb. This is probably one of the most important yet underutilized of all hair tools. A wide-toothed comb helps you distribute conditioner evenly all over your hair while shampooing and conditioning. In addition, it also helps get rid of knots smoothly.





    The best time to get rid of knots is during conditioning. Apply conditioner and run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair.





    While untangling dry hair, do so in sections. Take one section at a time, and first, untangle the ends of your hair. Do so slowly, and don?t pull unless you want your hair to fall out in clumps or break.





    Don?t wait for the last minute before detangling your hair. Every night, while sitting in front of the television, run a wide toothed comb gently through your hair, until you have untangled it completely. Do this every night, and you will notice that your hair remains free from tangles.





    Leave-in conditioner


    Dry hair tends to tangle easily, and, needless to say, causes it to break. Make sure your hair is never devoid of moisture by always keeping a bottle of leave-in conditioner handy. The next time you feel your hair is dry and rough to the touch, simply rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner between your palms, and apply it to your hair. Comb through with your wide toothed comb. Your hair will be instantly rejuvenated and moisturized. Gradually, the texture will also improve. This is a must if you blow dry your hair regularly, or if it is chemically treated. Such hair constantly craves moisture, so get yourself a bottle of leave-in conditioner.








    Oil


    Olive, almond and coconut oils are all excellent for the hair. While you could apply oil as an alternative to leave-in conditioner, oil tends to make your hair sticky, and you cannot style your hair well after applying oil. Your only alternative would then be to tie up your hair. For better results with oil, apply just a few drops immediately after washing your hair, when your hair is still dripping wet. Oil doesn?t penetrate the strands as easily as leave-in conditioner does though. Nothing beats a hot oil massage followed by a steam treatment, as the steam helps the oil penetrate the hair strands, strengthening them and curtailing hair fall.








    Egg


    Egg is great for the hair ? there are no two ways about it! True, it causes a tremendous stink in the bathroom, and your hair may let off an ?eggy? smell, but the results are instantaneous and worth it! Egg strengthens your hair almost immediately, and the egg yolk leaves your hair shining. Whip an egg with two tablespoons of olive oil and apply it to your hair. Wash off after half an hour. Make sure you wash off with cold water though, or the egg will start cooking in your hair, and would be harder to take off! Use a scented shampoo to counter the smell of egg in your hair, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner. Do this for a month, and you will be amazed by the change in your hair texture and the reduction in hair fall.
    Hair loss shampoos do not work. Take it from a balding hairstylist I know. I've tried them all including Nioxin.





    The only product proven to regrow hair is Minoxidil, this is the active ingredient in Rogaine.





    Don't waste your money, take it from someone who has.
