hey ladies i have a little problem which i is making me worried now.since i have been a student in london i started having a hair fall prb and its getting worse.
i have a beautiful light brown hair colour and had amazing hair about 2 years bak but now my scalp shows in the front part of my head i dont know what to do any sugessions??
Hormones? have u had them checked-out? Did u have a baby recently?
Re: help required
Check with a doctor. It could be a variety of things, including female pattern baldness. But don't worry, they have treatments for it now.
Besides - it could be something as simple as stress, hormones, diet etc which is all treatable.
Re: help required
no i dont have a baby yet as its just been a year since i married.mite be diet as i starve myself as i am too weight concious.some one told me to oil them does that help
Re: help required
Starving yourself could certainly be leading to this.
And no - generally oiling your hair won't help. If you are losing hair due to FPB, then women's Rogaine will reverse the process, but you should get diagnosed first.
U need to have u're bloodwork done..to find out what u're low on..it can be mineral/vitamin defiency. Starving, u've answered urself.. people with anaemia lose large amounts of hair as well..

Re: help required
A very common cause of hair fall in women is iron deficiency, known as anemia. If your hair falling is getting worse, please consult a doctor. After a blood test, it can be determined if you are low in iron and other nutrients or if you have a hormonal balance or if you have a thyroid condition. Or even if it is a fungal problem.
I went to the doctor for my hair as well. And he did a blood test to determine if I had a thyroid condition. Alhumdolillah the test results were normal. My iron levels were fine as well, BUT the doctor still prescribed me iron tablets for my hair. Because even if you are border line deficient in iron, it won't show up in a blood test for some reason.
So, please consult your doctor first. In the mean time, make sure that you are taking a multivitamin daily. Your hair can only be as good as your body is on the inside. Eat a healthy diet, get sufficient sleep,exercise, and reduce the stress in your life.
What helped me is the iron tablets (but consult a doctor before taking iron pills) and applying an oil containing methi seeds, which are used to treat hair conditions and have been helpful to several people. Here are the ingredients, which can be easily found in yor local desi store.
Mustard oil
Olive oil
Methi (fenugreek seeds)
container/water bottle.
Procedure: Fill the water bottle up with methi seeds about half-way. Then pour in the mustard oil. Followed by the olive oil. Use the same quantity for both oils. If you use 1/2 cup of mustard oil, then you should use 1/2 cup of olive oil. When you get done, it should like the oil is resting on top of the seeds. Do NOT shake the bottle. You are not going to be applying the seeds to your scalp....only the oil. The methi sees will lend their affect to the oil. Let the bottle sit for a day, so it can steep. And you apply it the following day. Use gentle motions to massage your scalp. And wash your hair 30 minutes to an hour later. Some people recommend oiling hair every day...others skip a day...and some apply it a couple times a week. Find what works best for you. Be patient, it will take about 3 months to see a difference.
