I can't believe I'm showing you this!

Well, not like you can't already see.. and NO I am not talking about my fattiness so :P It's the hair.. yep, those few strands still hanging out with me. At around 28 I developed PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I began to gain weight and a few unwanted symptoms that did not go away when I managed to lose weight and exercise. Fast forward and well, you can see for yourself. I'm not giving up, though. xx Julie

i am 52 and i have this too ... i have tried nioxion .. to no avail, static freaks my hair out and it always looks dirty, as in clings to my head. i read that thin hair attracts oils instead of washing it every other day you should wash it daily with a detergent shampoo... this is why prell generally thought a crappy shampoo works so well on my hair! or use powder shampoos so i am trying.. i think i am gonna shave my head and just wear wigs! hugs to you i know how you feel! have fun in France!

Thanks for the help! It's so funny because Prell always worked well on my hair. Might have to consider giving it another go around. Watched some of your vids.. you look fabulous, woman.. spunky-chic and with great advice and inspiration. Thanks and oui oui we shall :)

PS, are you on anything? I'm on spiro, bc, and rogaine.

[TcMlovesLisey]

Oh my! I'm sorry but I accidentally removed your first msg! I hit remove rather than reply! That is very sad, what you say, about having to go through the thinning hair at such a young age. I feel for ya. No, I have not tried any products.. how long have you been on the 3 you mention? Any results at all? Considering trying Rogaine but just not sure it's worth the $.. do you think so? Best to you, hon.

[TcMlovesLisey]

For PCOS I am taking Metformin (forever, gah) but I don't know of any advantages.. I'm tempted to try the Rogaine big time. Feel like it's a worthwhile shot? Which do you use and does it weigh your hair down? xx thanks!

did you say you're 52?!?!?!?!? Girl, you look 30....not even joking.

Hi. Thank you for the video. I am only 23 and I am currently losing my hair. Same places as a matter of fact. I am using Nioxin and I am still waiting for the effect. I know how you feel and I am as stressed about it as you are. I hope everything works out =]

You can use Bawang anti-hair fall. It may have a strong smell, but it works great

You don't look 52. I went through bad hair loss and weight gain at 30. It is soo stressful which doesn't help the situation.  Thanks for this video. This happens to more women then we know, yet it is not talked about.

ALSO! Don't worry. People have said things about my hair before like, "you're hair is really thin on your part". A hairdresser said to me when I was 16, "it is such a shame that you have thin hair because you face is so pretty". Another said something along the lines of, "I am just happy with my hair because as a hair dresser you see people with really thin hair & too thick hair so I am just so happy mine is thick".... so offensive like HELLO! =) Be happy the way God made you.

You look great for your age! =D such beautiful skin and make-up! I can relate to you. I am 21 & my hair is very thin & getting thinner as I am getting older. It started when I was about 15 but I think it could have been because I had anorexia and bulimia and the lack of nourishment to my body did something to my hair growth. It is also genetic in my family but I think the dieting added to the problem. I love you so much =) stay strong =D Don't use straightners on your hair.

my hair is starting to thin also. You said your 50. No way!! I would have guessed 10 or more years younger. What do you do to your skin?

Dear Precious Lady:

If your medication and health condition were the problem, you would be losing hair all over your body. The thinning and itching will stop and the hair at your crown will begin to grow when you neutralize the leftover remnant of color and other additives that are probably still left in the soft tissues and follicle of your scalp. Go to a beauty supply store, in the "Black Hair Care" Section. Ask for a "Neutralizing Shampoo".(any brand). After shampooing do hot oil trtmt.
