Best way to deal with hair loss

leggo · December 2013

I can't believe it took me this long and wasted hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars, but I discovered the best solution to not looking like a cancer patient. Lace wigs and buffs. You can't tell a lace wig from your own hair. It's quite amazing. They look like your own growing hair. You can wear the hair off your face, do it up, whatever you want and it looks very natural. Every part on your scalp looks like growing hair. As for the buffs, I've never found anything that doesn't scream cancer, like touques, scarves, etc., and frankly they're all a pain and not very comfortable, always slipping around and stuff. My son bought a buff for working out and I gave it a try. It's such a comfort that I can look more like an athlete than a cancer patient.

Just thought I'd share for all those ladies who are tired of looking like a cancer victim. I wish someone would have told me this years (and dollars) ago.

FAST HAIR REGROWTH: This is what's helping me to regrow hair : (items bought from Amazon)

Artnaturals Argan Oil Shampoo; Hair Growth Therapy

Silica Complex (NOW vitamins) started w/ ½ tablet, w/ food

Biotin 5000 mcg. (Natrol) started w/ ½ tablet, w/ food

I started losing hair about 2 months after taking Anastrozole, an aromotase inhibitor. I started it a month after a bilateral mastectomy, and did not receive radiation or chemo treatments. I'd already been on a healthier diet, including vitamins. To make sure you have no adverse reactions, it makes sense to begin the supplements gradually, and be sure you drink enough water daily.

First I bought the Rograine for Women which I found expensive and unpleasant to use, so I quickly changed to the shampoo and supplements, which I researched online. In my case, about 2 months later, I have hair growing in nicely, where I want it (no beard!) - including around my widows peak where hair hasn't been for years.

The silica complex is also good for joints, skin, and areas I need to support due to my deficit of estrogen and age (66). I really like the shampoo, which is sulfate free. There are other brands for all these items, which I haven't tried. I use a gentle "wet dry" hair brush by Cala from the drugstore. Best of luck to whatever works!

Thanks for the info ADM! I take BioSil which is suppose to help with the proteins collagen, keratin and elastin. But I think I may look into the Silica complex too.
