Ladies, I am F in my late 30s with fine, medium-length, flat hair. It’s been thinning and feel like I am losing a lot of it.
I’ve tried oral supplements but it didn’t do much to help (just grew hair on my face instead 😳). Any recommendations that might have helped you with the same issue? Anything topical that worked for you?

Check your B12 levels too. But as we age the hair thins out which is normal. You can use castor oil which helps too.

Thank you, SW1. B12 at normal levels.

It might be a good idea to get your thyroid and hormones checked if you haven’t! As we age our thyroid doesn’t have the kick it once did. I have a genetic thyroid disorder and when my meds aren’t doing it for me one of the symptoms is my hair.

Also, check out horsetail. It’s got silica in it, which is good for hair and nails. Zinc doesn’t hurt, either, I believe zinc picolinate is considered the best form of it.

For sure, regular doctors (even endocrinologists) don’t seem to understand shit about the thyroid and general endocrine system.

And if something is wrong but your labs are all “within range,” go find another opinion. You can be barely within range at either end and they’ll still try to tell you everything is fine. You know your body better than they do, you’re the one who lives in it!

The fable and mane hair oil worked for me. Seeing baby hair growing.

Go to a derm and see if they’ll put you on spirinolactone. It blocks the DHT (hormone) that commonly causes female pattern baldness.

Doctors will prescribe a RX. It’s all they are trained to do. You need to find the source of the issue. Recommend a natural integrative doctor who will use blood work to help determine what supplements you actually need.

Zinc vitamins!! I went in accurate years ago and lost a ton of hair - I tried so many things and zinc was the only thing that worked

C1, why zinc vitamins? Do you have a specific brand recommendation? Thanks

Nutrafol! It works. Give it 4-6 months. And it does not increase facial hair.

I think living a frugal life and aiming to retire early makes a lot of sense.

Recently, some of my family members are diagnosed with a rare diseases. When you look at the statistics, these are so many of these ‘rare’ conditions and cumulatively they are not rare.

These family members conditions made me reevaluate how I want to spend my life. I am 35 this year and I can’t decide if I should take great vacations with my kids or keep living a frugal life. Do you have the same dilemma?
