Hair vitamins?

[Anonymous]

I've always had kind of crappy hair. Very fine. I want to take something to thicken it; anyone ever had success? I signed up for HERS vitamins that have minoxidil in them but when the doc sent a list of the side effects I chickened out. Let me know if you've found success taking anything. Thanks!

I take oral minoxidil and spironolactone. That works.

Nutrafol Women's Balance worked really well for me. The $$ monthly though is just too high, so I asked my dr for an oral minoxidil prescription which I'll be starting soon.

If you use heat and/or product in your hair make sure you apply a deep conditioning treatment at least 1x/month.
Take a day off from styling your hair and let it just rest.

Vacations do wonders for healthy hair!

Would you mind sharing the dosages for each of these?

A single day is a vacation? Deep conditioning is not a vacation it's a bunch of chemicals.

Nutrafol worked great for me. And then HRT.

Not this poster, but I’ve increased to 1.875 mg oral minoxidil (3/4 of a 2.5 tablet, they split so easily) and 50 mg spironolactone and am very happy with the results. It does take time to work.

I have a lot of hair, but it’s very fine and thin in the sides. I started Nutrafol a month ago and am seeing new growth. Two stylists anecdotally told me they saw results in their clients who took it, which is partly why I took the plunge. I hear it takes about three months to see real results.

It’s pricey but worth it to me so far. I was denied an oral monoxidil scrip but will go that route if this doesn’t work.

1.25 mg minoxidil and 100 mg spironolactone.

Also protect your hair from the sun if you have thinning hair. Some people are born with good genes for hair; others have to take care and nuture. I started to wear caps, hats, scarves and it helped with thinning hair.
