Question on Hair Loss/Thinning?

I'm only 18, and my hair suddenly started thinning around 8 months ago. I was on anti-depressants/anxiety medication and I think maybe this is just a side effect. I am currently off of the medication now.





I just didn't know if it was a side effect because it seems if the side effect was ';hair thinning';, that all my hair would thin. My hair is only thinning on the top. But the thing is, my hair was really really thick only a year or so ago (before I started my medication).





My question is, is this hair loss or a side effect? Because my father has thick hair and all my grandfathers have/had thick hair. My brother is balding but that's it.





and another question is, is there a good medication for hair thinning or a shampoo for it?





Thanks for reading all that.Question on Hair Loss/Thinning?
anyway as you know - hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few. but anyway you can always try and get real results.





year ago my husband suffered from hair loss too and he started trying everything you can imagine to stop his hair loss. the things that really worked for him was:





1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





5) also used herbal treatment.in that case Provillus is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!





It worked and still works for him!





I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=749165





It restores hair follicles by blocking DHT!!!





good luck!
