Anyone know of a way to promote hair growth?

My best friends hair has started to thin quite rapidly on the sides of her head. It's really noticable when she ties it up. She knows its a problem and i dont want to panic her but it seems to be getting worse. Why has this happened and is there any way to reverse it? and how do i tell her without hurting her feelings. shes very proud of her appearance and, while shed still be my best friend even if she had no hair at all, i feel i should let her know how obvious its getting. shes 22Anyone know of a way to promote hair growth?
You can buy hair supplements (vitamin and mineral pills) from holland %26amp; barrett, which I found quite useful. Another one is to buy west indian bay oil (culpeppers stock it), mix it with a carrier oil and apply to hair and leave on for an hour or so before washing out. It does help promote hair growth.





Your friend should also go to the doctors and get her thyroid checked out - an underactive thyroid can result in hair loss - this can be remedied by taking artificial thyroxine - and the hair will then regrow.





Hair can also fall out through stress, or alopecia. Good luck.Anyone know of a way to promote hair growth?
First and foremost your friend needs to get medical help because it could be related to a medical condition that needs treatment- and hair loss/thinning could be the least of her worries. Also you can buy Kelp tablets - they help hair to grow - available from places like Holland and Barratt. You could also go the body shop and buy some Nettle Shampoo- its very good for thickening and giving hair body. But your friend really needs to seek reassurance from her GP that her health is not in any danger.
This is more than just hair, it is a life style, think about changing her diet. you may also think about a colon cleanse, this will help the body repair itself. Vitamin E is suppose to be good for hair loss, but, I have also read that urine will stimulate growth as well. I don't know how desperate she is, but she may try looking that up and reading more. If your interested in cleansing, check out my blog page, it can help you with that.





Good luck to you!
Hi there. I think you should tell her and advise her to see the doctor.To stimulate hair growth tell her to massage her scalp with almond,cococnut or castor oil. It could be iron deficiency or thyroid problem. And also tight pony hairstyles where you tie your hair at the back are not suitable for her as she is losing hair on her sides.I think this will help.
Theres i good shampoo out, i use it and it's really good. I got it from boots, it's green and it costs round about 拢10


Hope it helps,


Also you could tell her about hair extentions!


Or a wig.
Horse manure shampoo. It works for roses. Re style it to a comb over? Or get used to being called baldy. Job done.
You sound like an amazing friend...and i think most people would be imbarassed but im glad your not becasue you can help her through this. being a good friend you should just pick the moment to talk to her and offer as much support as you can.


There could be a medical reason for this. My fridend had this on the top of her head; her hair went really thin and started falling out... she went to see many consultants and she ended up being prescribed a medicated shampoo i think she was prescribed 3 different kinds until she found the one which cured her hair problem.


So best advice is for her to see her GP with you nalong for support if she is scared or embarassed.


Take care.
