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!

Back from work!  I am not really a make up girl, but I wear a little in the winter, really none in the summer.  My hair issues, because it is really long and thick, is I find it EVERYWHERE!  It gets stuck in the top of my pants, stray hairs wad under my arms, it's on the back of my chair at work, it curls around my toes at night, and on and on.  I intend to cut it for locks of love in a few months and I still want it past my shoulders.  It has grown a good 3 1/2 inches since I started treatment in August.

Paris, you won't go bald, and mine didn't start to fall until around week 20.

Can Do Man & Dyce, I am more than positive that we have the highest quality of men on this board, hair or no hair, it's those hairy backs we girls don't like!
