I read an article on hair loss and some people had good results with saw palmetto. It has to be a good brand, with a high ratio of Saw palmetto. I used Havasu Nutrition brand and I had good results after 1 month of 1 pill daily. I’m not sure if my hair loss, no growth was due to menopause, but my hair hadn’t grown in length for ages until I tried the saw palmetto. I noticed 3 to 4″ growth after 2 months. I don’t take it anymore, and I can still keep it growing at a good length.

Hi. I do not want to lose my blond highlights with the molasses, but I am loving what this mask has done for my hair. Could honey be substituted in the recipe for the same results without the darkening affect? Thank you.

Hello I know its been about 4 years since you left your question but I I noted that you use a lot of distilled water. Please check to make sure that is okay? I’m so sorry to say I cannot recall where I read it but apparently we are not meant to drink large quantities of distilled water. Actually I’ve just done a Google search and found quite a few results that talk about it so please do a search for yourself. Wishing you well. Kia ?

Does the molasses have to be blackstrap to work? Thank you.

I have also been struggling with massive hair loss over the past couple of years. My doctor kept having me up my thyroid meds which didn’t really help. Recently I started making an oat straw decoction (or is it an infusion?!) and it had an immediate effect. I went from handfuls of hair coming out every day to only a few strands. Miraculous! Before bed, I take 1 tbls oat straw and put it in a quart jar and then cover with just boiling water and let it sit on the counter over night. The next morning I strain it and drink the tea. Today I am going to buy some blackstrap molasses and start taking that too to see if I can start getting it to grow back. I already take ACV every day as well as vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, etc.

hahahah I can relate to that Heather !!! XD

I’ve tried all the hair suplements, iron pills and molasses but nothing worked. I even used both kinds of what is known as the alopecia suplement called inositol. I’m hypothyroid and take 180 mgs of Armour for the last 2 years yet still have hair loss. I’ve been anemic as well as having a ferritin level in the 60’s yet still losing hair. I eat careful to try to buy organic and raw dairy and grass fed animal products and very little processed or restaurant foods. I don’t drink coffee or soda and no alcohol. I only drink glass water bottled distilled water and now just reciently unsweetened stinging nettle tea. I used to drink only spring water but after much, mush deep research I have changed to distilled. I order the water from a water service company in 5 gal glass bottles delivered to my home and put into an electric water dispenser. I make my tea with the distilled water too.

I’m now trying nettle loose tea made by decoction. I’ve been drinking a half gallon a day and pouring on my hair as a leave in rinse for about 3 weeks now. Nettle tea also is blood building so good and safe, unlike iron suplements, for anemia. Also it’s full of vitamins and minerals. Don’t use nettle tea bags. Buy nettle leaves in bulk. I buy at mountain rose herbs web site. Look up Maria Trenen or Susun Weed both herbalists for directions to make decoction of herbal teas. Dried Burdock root that’s been soaked for 12 hrs then heated is also suppose to be good for hair growth, used as a rinse and added to SLS-free shampoo. I m going to try that soon and am adding it to honest company baby shampoo that has no SLS in it. Honest company makes a baby conditioner that’s the best I’ve ever used. I love the vanilla orange scent that smells like a orange creamsicle.

I’m also going to try a homeopathic hair loss treatment I’ve read a lot about on a web site called joedeviveria.com. I’m desperate like everyone else losing their hair. So many things can cause hair loss in women. Thyroid issues, HBP, type 2 diabetes, post menopause, stress, hormone imbalance, PCOS, some medications like metformin and high blood pressure meds along with many other things.
There is no way of knowing for sure what the cause of any particular womens hair loss is. Not even a dermatologist can know. They will always say it’s alopecia as that is what is taught in medical school.

Different hair remedies or therapies seem to work for different people. What works for one may not work for another so you need to keep trying different things. Eating right, organic, raw and grass fed animal products and staying away from process foods and refined sugar is all good but may not be enough depending on what is causing your particular hair loss. And as I said, you can’t know what exactly is causing your particular loss other than if it’s after having a baby. The good thing is that if that is the reason, in time it will correct itself.

I reciently read that taking diatomaceous earth FOOD GRADE, can stop hair loss and regrow hair. Most people take it to get rid of parasites but apparent,y it also has the side effect to stop hair loss for some people. I used it years ago for weight loss but I did not pay attention to see if it helped with hair loss. Although, when I took it way back then my hair loss was much less then it is now. I will try taking that again too later on. I don’t want to try too many things at the same time because I won’t know what is working or what is not. Why spend the time and money on things that aren’t working for me. I think giving a particular hair treatment 3 months is enough to know if it’s helming or not and if I should move on to something else. I’m happy to hear of others success in stoping their hair loss and willing to try different hair loss stoping treatments or remedies. If I find one that finally works for me I will post. I, also thinking of trying the iodine that one of the posters suggested. I’ve had my iodine levels checked and they are In the normal range. It’s a bit scary though as I’ve reaserched it and I can find both good and bad reasons to take extra iodine. I know you should be very careful taking iodine if you have the autoimmune version of hypothyroid called hasimotos, which thankfully, I don’t. Note to the poster: how much iodine do you take and what kind?

Please can someone tell me how to get the anesthesia out of your hair. I just had surgery and my hair is coming out worse than ever

Sara what conditioner do you use

Heather, what shampoo and conditioner are you using now

Sandy, I have the same problem . I have tried everything and have spent thousands. Nothing has helped
