Feeling crap about my thin hair. Any thin hair to thick hair stories to cheer me up??

[u32ng]

My hair is thin and I have a really noticeable area of scalp on the crown of my head. Putting my hair up into even a simple ponytail is like a game of 'hide my scalp'

Anyway, I'm feeling a bit crap about it today and was wondering if anyone has managed to grow more hair so it's a bit thicker? (I'm taking iron supplements and hoping that maybe has an effect??)

Can I ask oysters if your hair was always thin or did it thinnout as you grew older?

My daughter has thin hair. She takes after her Dad’s side of the family and both her paternal grandmother and grandfather and DH’s sister have thin balding hair. I think if it is genetic, there isn’t much that can be done other than try to make it appear thicker. I’m conflicted about cutting it into a bob as DH’s sister has one and it doesn’t make her hair look thicker. It definitely looks better after she has blow dried it though.

• posters not oysters!

Nioxin system 3 made my hair much thicker

Me too, only a few months ago my hair was much thicker,
I have had a very stressful 12 months so it wont have helped, but i have to have regular blood tests, because i have iron overload, Hemochromatosis [they say] but my ferritin has now gone down to 31, and my hair has really thinned especially on one side ,it looks thin and wispy, i have today bought some Biotin. i have B12, Vit B complex ans magnesium, the lady in Hooland & Barrat says Silica is good too
I am not supposed to take Vit C,but i am doing as it builds iron , i have started eating more red meat and green veg as advisd by my Dr, but i am tempted to get some iron supplements
I have an appointment for another blood test next week,so i am going to suggest i take an iron supplement I really dont think i have hemo, and all this blood taking is making it worse, supposed to have a pint of blood taken if ferritin gets to 100 or above,but its dropping,
I think i may be a carrier, but not have it,they seem obsessed with testing me
My hair was fine before all this blood taking,
My sons have hemo, and their ferritib is far too high, but their hair is like wire, and nails are like conrete

I had three kids, my hair is now very thick. A bit drastic though
