Hair loss - what can I do?!

4 replies

My hair has been falling out/thinning since having my children (youngest is 4) but it’s really starting to get to me now.

I wash it every 2-3 days and seem to lose loads, and it’s feeling very thin now. Noticeable difference from photos a few years ago.

Has anyone taken a supplements or anything that they feel has helped with this? I’m only 36, and trying to have a bit of a personal appearance overhaul and this is really affecting my confidence.

Collagen and HRT stopped my hair falling out.

I was wondering whether collagen was the route to go down…. Which one do you take? Thanks 🙂

I take Minoxidil. It’s a long term medication as only works as long as you take it. You shed hair for 6/8 weeks then see regrowth. It works but there can be side effects and needs to be prescribed by a doctor.
