Thinning hairIs your hair thinning out prematurely? You may have a vitamin/mineral deficiency.

Consider consulting your doctor to have your vitamin/mineral status assessed since a diet change or supplement may be the solution to your thinning hair.

pre-natal vitamins are great for growing hair. in the case of inherited hair loss, nioxin is a good remedy to decrease the amount of hair clogging up your shower every morning.

i think another big problem is lack of sleep and too much stress. that happened to me during bball season, i was never home so i ate crappy food and i didnt have enough time to do homework so i was stressed and stayed up late a lot. so try getting enough sleep, it really helps!

Anyone know a good hairstyle for someone with thinning hair on the top? I also have fine hair on the sides/back.

Mines the same way. A stylist suggested that I cut my hair into a short bob, and layer it. The layers are suspose to make look fuller. It works for me. I tease the top and sides then smooth it a little.

also the herb evening prime rose oil is supposed to be good for thinning hair. Besides a Vitamin def you should have a doctor run a thyroid panel on you if your losing hair

taking iron pills work too.not having much iron in your system may cause hair loss so go out and get your iron pills over the counter at any store for ex: walmart or any pharmacys

Thinning hair is also a result of hypothyroidism--I have it, and can't get my medications right, but I just make my bangs go over the thin spots.
