 My hair was my pride and joy. I had pretty long hair all my childhood but with the start of puberty that change. I have 33 years old and I have spent 20 years fighting against hair loss. At age of 14-15, I began losing my hair. My hair would fall all the time, appearing on my clothes, on the floor...everywhere...even worse when I washed it. I cannot recall every having stopped the hairfall and as far as I can remember, my hair loss never truly stopped all the way throughout my teen years. I have tried many treatments, doctors, vitamins, supplements but nothing has worked. I have had better seasons but as the growth of my hair is slow, in the end I do not know what I did to get those results. This makes me felt like sad and depressed. All I want is thick hair and to stop crying over it everyday. I am so depressed and I have nowhere and nobody to turn to.

During the last 3 years I have taken birth control pills and my hair did not fall in the shower but it was definitely not growing, I always have thin and not very abundant hair. I can see easily my scalp through the hair. After leaving the contraceptive pills I had a strong fall and now I look worse, I do not know how to comb my hair now to hide my skin.

I got checked my hormones and there is not much disorder there, although I must investigate further. I do not suffer from polycystic ovaries or hereditary diseases. Maybe some eventual anemia I control by taking nutritional supplements.
Several doctors advised me to use Minoxidil, but I have refused because I know it is a lifelong treatment. I had a hard time accepting that, but at the end of the day we use a lot of lifelong products: shampoo, deodorant, mouthwash, for example.  So I started with Minoxidil 2 days ago and I want to try some vitamins again while im on this but I don't know which supplements take. I have read a LOT of reviews and I see very good opinions but is a lot of money and I am not sure which brand buy because I don't know exactly what is wrong with me, but I definitely want to try some of this to get new hair. My dream is to have hair like I had before as a child.

Hair loss is a sign that there is something wrong with your body. Rather than try to fix it with shampoos and medications, I want to try fixing things with a good supplement. I think is not what you put on your scalp but what you put in your body that really makes a difference.

Please help me. Please help me save what hair I have left. :

Any hair related problem needs to be tackled from both inside and out. Just look up reviews and find a good pre natal multi vitamin and a collagen supplement on amazon. Collagen supplements work wonders- speaking from experience. As for outside, go the Ayurvedic route and oil your hair at least once a week. In India we use an oil made by keeping seeds of fenugreek, soaked in, coconut or mustard oil and kept under direct sunrays for seven days. Fenugreek leaves will stop any hairfall that is not caused due to diseases etc. if you can afford it, buy an ultrasonic cold conditioning iron to really push the oil into the hair cuticle, and get faster results. I am obsessed with my new Jose Eber RX therapy tool, it really makes all the difference, when I oil or condition my hair. Hope this helps. :)
