Hello there, I'm hoping someone out there may have experianced this problem, or may have some ideas as to what is going on with me,For the last six month, I have been steadly losing the hair on the right side of my body,my mother is a hairstylist she specializes in hair loss ,wigs and hairpieces for any type of hairloss,including cancer, and alopecia.I go to her every six weeks to get a cut and color and she obviously has been cutting my hair since I was a baby,in the past six months I have lost hair on the right side of my head,she showed me the difference between the right side to the left and it was stunning!!! there was a inch difference in length and I am thinning throught out the right side of my head . My mother said she has never seen anything like it that she can remember.and she should know.I have noticed that on the right side of my body hair is not growing at the same rate as the left side,have any of you had a hair loss patten like this? I'm stumped !! thanks

Natural growth of the problem, generally a lot of things about the human body are asymmetric, such as left and right - hand - Eyebrow - Eye - etc.
Also possible with hormone levels, psychological factors, etc., relevant.
Some suggest that you can treat hair loss medicine orally, or decoction overall conditioning look, another diet do not eat spicy food, do not eat greasy food, eat sweets, do not stay up late, do not stress too much.

Could it be mobile phone use and the radiation from the phone. Most people are right handed and maybe why the hair loss is predominately on this side. Here in Australia a leading neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo spoke out about it and how he was seeing many patients with tumours behind their ears which he is certain is from mobile phone use although the big phone companies say otherwise supported with their biased and probably self funded testing.

I checked the product of Trx2. Yes it has biotin and nicotinic acid and BCAA which are very essential for our hair growth. Maybe it will help you Joannf54 to take this supplement or you can try other one. Nicotinic acid has a proprietary composition of a Minoxidil however this compound is safe to our body.

How many years you are suffering hair loss?
