Try prenatal vitamins. I started taking about a year ago and I think that is one of the reasons why my scalp hair is growing back so nice and healthy. It is good for nails too! Good luck!

Go to www.lilash.com
I was verrry skeptical at first and was deterred by the high prices. They have two products, lilash and librow. They are both pretty much the same thing I think but the librow contains a die that gradually adds color to your brows or something like that. I believe that they contain a product that is found in glaucoma medications that stimulates eyelash growth. I pull my eyebrows and eyelashes. I just bought the lilash and put it on both my eyelashes and eyebrows. It really is absolutely amazing as long as you can stop pulling for long enough. I've been pulling for 13 years so I am very grateful that my hair still grows back.

well www.lilash.com wont help people if they pull from thier scalp allieappstate. For scalp I would agree with vanesa and try prenatal vitamins. I have been taking them too and they have helped.

yes that is very true, I was just stuck on the idea of only eyelashes and brows when I was reading this i guess

READ their TERMS:

Very first thing is: DISCLAIMER:
LiLash Purified Eyelash Stimulator (Product) is not intended to stop, prevent, cure, treat, relieve, alter, reverse or reduce eyelash loss or to promote the growth of eyelashes.

--------------

A reader with intrepid sleuthing skills sent me the ingredients list for Lilash Eyelash Stimulator. I've been trying to find out what is in Lilash all year and the manufacturer, based in Scotsdale, is not very forthcoming. It turns out that the active ingredient is a prostaglandin analogue. Prostaglandin is the drug used to treat glaucoma that - because it may change the color of your eyes or even impact sight - has made eyelash growth products controversial to say the least.

Lilash also contains (in addition to five parabens and phenoxyethanol) a rather unpleasant preservative called methylchloroisothiazalinone. In high concentrations it can cause chemical burns and it is a skin and membrane irritant and so it was largely removed from most cosmetic products except for those with only short duration skin contact such as rinse-offs. There are some newer formulations that make it more acceptable to sensitive users, so it is now found in cosmetics more frequently. In the US accepted concentrations are 15 ppm in rinse-offs and 8 ppm in other cosmetic.

Allergan now has an approved (by subscription only) treatment. Around $120 per MONTH.

All in all I wouldn't use the Lilash, to many side effects, not losing my eyesight just for some hair.

I've heard biotin is good, but I can't swear to it. But biotin is a B vitamin, so makes snese.

B vitamins are also good for helping us cope with stress.

Protein helps to build our hair as well.

Biotin is helping my hair growth. You have to be patient, it takes a few months. I take a tablet of biotin 1,000 mcg (micrograms, not milligrams) 3 times a day (usually with my meals). I am interested in inositol, but I haven't found it locally (I've lost my job, so my funding is limited right now). I have been on the biotin for about 4 months now. My hairstylist suggested it (he keeps thinking my hair just breaks off, he doesn't know I have a form of trich).

I'm weird with my pulling because since I was 3 years old I have formed little knots in the ends of my hair and pulled the little clump out (I've never pulled straight from the root). My goal for 2009 is to get my broken ends in better shape. I'm actually saying a prayer every day (Help me to be pull-free), which I've never done before and I'm actually trying to do some visualization exercises. I'm imagining my hair like a forest of trees. I would never tear up and destroy a forest and so I'm trying to equate that with my hair (why would I want to tear up and destroy my hair when my scalp is the only place on the planet where my hair grows?) I know that is an exaggeration to make me picture the scene vividlt, but it seems to be helping me (only pulled 4 times in January). Wishing everyone the best. :)

I like the visualization of the forest of trees. Very helpful! I use the Aubrey brand Green Tree conditioning hair rinse. You may have to order it specifically from the store as they don't always keep it on the shelves. I apply a small amount every day to help nourish my scalp and reverse the damage. it has rosemary, jojoba and some otehr things that are healthy and good for the hair. Biotin I heard was good too.
