I have been taking a supplement called "biotin", which is relatively inexpensive - I started this after noticing more hair in my brush and a little thinning in the front - this nutrient is also good the the skin and nails -

Janet - Have you noticed any or much improvement in hair shedding and/or regrowth? My nails are very healthy but I could use all the help I can get with hair shedding and regrowth and skin aging since hysterectomy. I think I took biotin for awhile - tried so many things but none made any or much difference.

I think I see a slight improvement with the thinning in the front, but this could just be "wishful thinking"...I'm not sure if the biotin (which I've been taking for some time now) is helping or not...

Me too. I'm getting really good at poufing it across the crown backward to cover the flat, thin area. I don't mind the silver ones, though many of them fall out too. I have to strip the loose hairs off when I rinse and wash and condition my hair, or it ends up clogging the drain something awful. Every time I wear a suit jacket, it ends up with all this blonde hair all over the shoulders and back. Am I going to be bald? Ick. But I, too, do not miss the hairy armpits and legs. I almost never shave my legs anymore! It's blonde and invisible, and almost nonexistent! My daughters are actually jealous of that part.

Update on biotin - this is really funny - I seem to have regained some hair growth on my legs and armpits, but my thinning hair in front of my head isn't much better! I'm going to stay on the biotin anyway, because at least the thinning of my hair hasn't worsened, and biotin is supposed to be good for the nails and skin also -

I remember that when I was perimenopausal and my skin seemed drier and my hair looked thinner, I started taking flaxseed oil (the oil, not the capsules), and this helped a great deal - I have never stopped taking it, so at least my hair and skin aren't dry -
