Hair thinning at crown… please just tell me what will help

[Anonymous]

Have the dermatologist check your hair follicles. If they are healthy, use rogaine. It works! I also had some hair loss due to stress and I got steroid injections in my scalp. That worked too.

I feel like a bit of a broken record but boathouse farms and carrot juice and biotin every single day.

I swear by Nutrafol

My hair is more full than ever.

NP- I also have thinning hair but wasn't really sure who to see about it. Between GPs and really need to find a new one, ugh. But I do have a dermotologist and go for my annual skin check next month- is a dermo the appropriate avenue for an evaluation?

YES.

None of the vitamins etc will help (unless you're actually malnourished ). Rogaine works for me but it's tedious and the improvement is marginal.

This is much more common than people think- I found a stylist who has a lot of client's with this issue and she has done custom toppers for them with human hair- they're mesh & you actually pull bits of your own through like a latch hook so the are pretty undetectable.

I just use Toppick - it's a powder for thinning hair that you apply over areas of the crown that are thin on top. You can buy on Amazon and it really helps- doesn't shed much, but washes out easily.

I've also done extensions using tiny micro links - expensive and not always great for the top of the head but very customizable and you get them down and go back every 6-8 weeks as your hair grows and they move them up your head to the root again. It's human hair so looks real and can be colored etc. These are good because they're in 24/7.

Currently I use toppick on my part lines and have extensions I wear when I feel like it. I have a halo hair extension - it's one piece, human hair, on a transparent fishing line type of thing that you put on and pull some of your own hair over it so it's undectable.

Sorry to ramble but BTDT and want to spare people all the searching I did for solutions! Also, get a diagnose from a Dr that it's alopecia or some kind of medical related loss- insurance will cover at least some of the cost to have a wig or topper. The good one are human hair and fitted to you and are expensive.
