Natural Hair Loss Remedy?

nagem

Anyone have a natural remedy for thinning hair? My hair came back thick after chemo but has now thinned alarmingly. Scared to try Rogaine but also scared I'll soon return to complete baldness! Anyone have any experience with something natural that works?

I suggest reading the Biotin thread.

Biotin worked great for me, so as Debbie suggests, read our discussion there. Other women swear by Nioxin products, but they're certainly not more powerful than Rogaine. I used Nioxin shampoo before chemo (my hairdresser suggested it) and then as my hair grew in. I don't know if it did anything other than smell nice and keep my hair manageable.
A ways back, another poster swore by these products: http://www.janmarini.com/AgeInterventionHair.html. None of these lines of products claims to be "natural" or free of harmful chemicals, including parabens and phthalates, so this might not be what you're looking for.

I am taking Biosil by Jarrow Formulas and could tell a difference within three days.

I was hoping someone might have a topical solution. I've been warned many times against supplements, and since I have an aggressive cancer I'm nervous about taking anything that might enhance growth.

One of the things I keep reading about with hair loss is that we need to up our protein intake. Also biotin is found naturally in eggs. Just a couple of ideas outside of taking a vitamin.

I'm a vegetarian, so the protein thing would make sense. Not too holy to eat eggs, however. So I'll start with egg salad for lunch today. Thanks!
