I would ask your Dr. Sometimes certain meds interact with each other. Maybe a med change would prevent hair loss. Worth asking about.😃

Judy, The kit I use is a shampoo, conditioner and a foam which I only apply to the thinning areas. Otherwise the normal areas get bushy. My hair is white and it tends to darken it. Per my hairdresser I use a clarifying shampoo in between. I certainly hope it helps.

I keep my hair short because I have no patience with growing it and always straightening it because it tends to dry my hair out. Also, I have noticed that more and more people are using beautiful wigs. I will be retiring in a few months and therefore can try them out without anybody knowing. I think that could be fun! Just a thought :-). Wigs are really in right now. Just enjoy yourself!

Hi Theodora. Do you use the four step product? Just the shampoo? Thanks so much for your help. I figure I should try to nip it in the bud. I truly appreciate you.

I have used Nioxigin (sp) in the past and got my full head of hair back. I am using it again due to meds.
It is available at WalMart. My husband has regained some hair as well and his has been thinning for years. I hate to be vain, but looking better lifts my spirits.
