Does scalp med work? I am reluctant to try anything new. I did try the lasercomb and it did not do much for me. I sent it back. Any feedback on scalpmed would be appreciated. Does this product cause an initial shedding like other hair loss regimens?

I recently saw a commercial for ScalpMed (spray-on treatment)that claims to work miracles. It’s quite pricey. Has any one had any experience with this product? Any success?

I had a really rough weekend- It was really stressful and sad. I haven’t had that kind of stress for a few months now. Anyway, yesterday I noticed I lost a little bit more hair than normal. I think the stress I had this weekend may have caused it. =(

I need to take work off today so I can work on myself, get some acu, and relax. Guess for my case, it’s caused by stress. And here I thought I was stress free.

Hi
I am a 60 year old female who has been dealing with fine thin hair since I was 13 years old. At that time I was diagnosed with hypothyrodism and was on medication for 7 years. Since then I have been tested yearly and have been okay. My hair has never grown back in. I recently went to a dermatologist thinking it has been about 40 years since my last visit and surely there must have been some modern break thru’s. The dermatologist I saw said that I had female pattern baldness and this was NOT caused by the hypothyrodism. Could this be true? I really didn’t like her and then to be told that I had female pattern baldness because my dad had male pattern baldness as well as my younger brother and this was a genetic problem. Can you start with female pattern baldness at 13? Could it be tied into my hypothyroidism? Is this genetic because of my dad? I do have a thinning of the other 1/3 of my eyebrows but other then that I am completely normal for body hair. Help me please.

Hi Jen, I’m sorry for what you are going through. Have you tried testing your adrenals? My acupuncturist did that with me…it’s a spit/saliva test. Since you are so stressed out, like my sister was, her adrenals were totally exhausted! So now she does acupuncture and meditation. Just a suggestion…it worked for my sis.

And hi Nancy… Dr.Hall, my acupuncturist, said you can call Lisa Andrade. She’s an acupuncturist in Utah…801-521-0531. I really hope that you will benefit as I did. I’m going on my 4th month now. I don’t have as much stress, my period seems regulated, my hair loss is to a minimal (though still shedding =( a bit), but my outlook has totally changed!!

Best wishes!

Good Afternoon,
My name is Jennifer and I am a 33 yr old mother living in Manchester, NH. I have been experiencing extremely dramatic hair loss within the
past 6 months or so. I had waist length, beautiful dark hair up until around October of 2007. I have been to my doctor and had a panel of hormone tests
and to check my thyroid, she says all the tests are negative, I’m healthy. Within the past year I have been enduring unimaginable stress due to
a divorce which I believe to be the cause of my hair loss, because of the stress, anxiety and depression, I had stopped taking care of myself as well as I used to, etc.
So, a few months ago, when I concluded that the stress was the cause of my hair problem, I woke up and got right back to taking care of myself as I used to,
eating healthy, (lots of organic fruits, veg’s, unprocessed food, etc) and managing the stress with b-complex supplements and other food supplements,
herbs, teas and so forth. The good news is, I know my body is responding because I feel much better, my hair is clearly growing back on top and in the other places, Its coming back very strong, -BUT- I’m STILL losing like crazy!!! Now, I will say that my hair has always shedded a lot. Especially being as long as it was.
I am trying to determine whats going on. The hair that is growing back does not appear to be as strong, and as thick as my old hair. Does that make sense?
The new hairs, although growing back in abundance, don’t look as healthy and strong as the old. Is there any way you can shed some light on my situation and
help? I do not use any products other than organic, herbal shampoos and conditioners although sometimes I use Pantene smoothing conditioner before rinsing only to make
my hair smooth enough so that when I brush it after a shower, its less likely to tangle and pull more out, although you wouldn’t believe how much hair I am still losing a day. It’s everywhere..
I cry about it.. it used to be such a pride and joy and now, it looks so terrible, I have to wear it up. I am pretty sure that stress has been the root of the problem, but now my
hair loss has actually become the big stressor!!!!! I hate looking in the mirror now. Anyone have any words of advice..? Wait it out???

Hi Nancy,

I’ve known acupuncture to work for some people. Let me know if you want to try. I’ll help you look for a good one. I live in So. California and my sister lives in Minnesota…my acupuncturist is great and she helped my sister find a good one out there. If you need help finding a good one, let me know! I’m seeing some improvement with my hair loss and I’ve been going for about 3 months.

Does acupuncture help with the hair loss? My stylist has recommended that I see her acupuncturist. I’m willing to give anything a try at this point!

Hi Lisa,
It sounds like you went through alot. I recommend acupuncture and make sure it is also someone who would be able to work with your chakras also. I recommend working on your 1st chakra- picture red and feel its energy at your tailbone and pelvic area.

Good luck.
