I am in my late 20’s and my hair have started to fall so badly since last february. No exaggeration but i have lost almost half my hair.
i used to have really nice thick hair before…i dont think i have been overly stressed (i have ALWAYS been sensitive/stressed so nothing new). I had a baby in Sept 2010 so i dont think that can be the reason since it has been so long.
regardless, i am starting to now take multivitamins but that will take time too…
is there ANYTHING I can do to stop the hair fall and promote regrowth of hair?
do hair grow back once they fall out like this?
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee share ur tried/tested remedies.
i don’t have any solutions for you, but i would seriously advise you to see a doctor instead of trying any random remedies that you might get on here- being that you’ve lost half of your hair that seems really serious
they’ll probably need to check your hormone levels, etc.
Re: Hair falling out-lost half my hair-- HELP!!!!!!
You say that you were always sensitive/stressed.....maybe over a period of time that stress took its toll on your hair. Try to relax, get sufficient sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise. Make sure the basics are in place.
Yes, vitamins will take their time. I've heard that you should give a treatment at lest 3 months and sometimes it can take longer than that. People often give up too soon.
If you feel that shedding is not normal....go see a doctor. A doctor can run tests to see if the hair loss is due to iron deficiency, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, PCOS, etc. You could play the guessing game...or you could try to get a more clearer answer at an earlier stage.
Try drinking a green smoothie. Add about a cup of juice....a handful of spinach, some blueberries, and other fruits of your choice, some water to thin it out of if necessary....and blend. Drink this a few times a week. Dark leafy greens, especially, are great for skin and hair.
Take an empty bottle....and fill it half way with methi daana (no, don't grind it). Then on top of the seeds, pour equal quantities of olive oil and mustard oil. So, if you pour 1/2 cup of olive oil, then pour the same amount of mustard oil. Don't shake the bottle. You can let it steep for about a week....and then start applying the oil to your scalp and hair. Give your scalp a good massage...and then after about an hour or two...wash it off. You can try applying it every other day...or if that doesn't suit you...then at least twice a week.
Some other suggestions:
You could try applying fenugreek (methi) extract to your scalp. You can get it from a healt foods store.
Nettle leaf extract is also said to be good for the hair. Some people drink Nettle leaf tea...and also rinse their with it to make the roots stronger and promote growth.
Emu oil is highly penetrative...more so than the other oils and has produced results for some people.
Raw onion juice...applied to the scalp...promotes hair growth (due to the sulphur content)
***There are so many herbs and ingredients that are said to "promote" hair growth. What works for one person may not for another. You do have to be patient. But again, see a doctor first to rule out any problems.

I had typhoid when I was in Bombay and lost quite a lot of hair especially from the front, u could see my scalp. I was recommended Mintop Solution by the doctors there. Its also called Minoxidil. I did use it and it helped quite a bit.
My sister is using this caffine shampoo called Alpecin. Its helped quite a bit with her hair.
Apart from the methi oil as Rhea suggested above, another option is to boil "kadipatta" in coconut oil and use it on your scalp.
For Hair: Heat oil and add some curry leaves. When the curry leaves turns dark black remove the oil from heat and let it cool down. Store in a glass container. Apply this oil on your head and leave it overnight. This helps prevent premature aging of grey hair and also nourishes the hair roots. This oil also acts as a very good stimulant and helps in hair growth.
But most important thing is u have to go see a doctor as you have lost a considerate bit of hair .

Get your blood work done because it sounds more like a nutrition deficiency to me than anything else.
Also, pay attention to any change in your routine hair care, shampoo, conditioner etc.
Someone in some other thread mentioned wild hair growth oil..i never tried it, but read the reviews and everyone is saying it helps. I would still suggest to pls go see your doc
Re: Hair falling out-lost half my hair-- HELP!!!!!!
apply jojoba oil or reeta oil. avoid using regular shampoo try johnson babay shampoo as it doesnt have chemicals like other shampoos.
Hello all,

i don't know if someone's already mentioned it, but if you live in pak i believe u take neem leaves and crush them with that big stone 'kootney wali cheez'..add some water whcih you are crushing it, so it turns into a thick paste and apply it to your hair...my aunt told me about this, it makes hair grow long and thick and healthy!
you can also put 100% pure castor oil on your head as much as possible...keep in mind though that it is quite thick, and migt be a bit difficult to wash
might i suggest that if your hair isnt short already, you get it cut short! it would make doing all your remedies much easier
Re: Hair falling out-lost half my hair-- HELP!!!!!!
Honestly get to a doctor quickly, explain how your anxiety and stress levels have been, discuss your dietary habits and so forth because seriously something is not right with your body and a doctor is the only one that can help you. not a particular type of over the counter shampoo and rogaine for women or something.
