Dealing with the hair loss on treatment

I was asked on a prior post about something I found that has really reduced my hair loss on treatment, so I thought I would start a thread.  I went to a beauty supply store and found a group of products called Therapro by MEDIceuticals.  They have a group of products for thinning hair primarily to treat alopecia.  I bought a starter kit with the shampoo, scalp treatment, and spray that you use twice a day to begin with.  I noticed greatly reduced hair loss within two weeks.  They list a toll free number of 1-800-433-2903 in case you have a hard time finding the product.  It is not nioxin and I never did try it because I understood you needed to be using it before you started treatment for it to be most effective.  I hope this helps!

Thanks for the information. My hair is thinning and just breaking off to stubble. Doesn't seem to bother me much though. I notice my forehead becoming ever so large. One of my daughters told me I had enough space for another face. Legs and arms are starting to look like a Mexican Chihuahua. The hair coupled with losing about 20lbs since treatment started and ...................Oh Oh yeah and the little wart like things that just keep popping up on my skin everywhere. I don't think an 800 number can help me. Although a 900 number might make me forget my troubles ha! Have a great day. Dale

Another silly thought. Does anyone just wear pretty scarfs?

Silly? I think thats a good ideal, sense your not gonna lose all your hair. Nobody gonna think anything about it. And you say trust me, im no beauty. Bet your better lookin then you give yourself credit for. All women are. Best of luck going forward.

I guess now all of us ladies kind of understand how men feel when they start losing their hair even when they're not on any kind of treatment.  At least ours will grow back.  lol
