: I have been Hennaing my hair for many years on and off. Usually
: Hennalucent or Rainbow Henna until I found out through this site
that
: those are not natural. Now I bought Yemen Henna from Cathy and
plan
: to continue with natural Henna faithfully. I am having trouble with
: hair loss. It is concerning me and I hope someone can be of help.
: Thank you in advance for any one who can advise me.
:
: So much of my hair falls out, especially when I wash it. Actually
: last night I collected the hair that fell out in the shower and it
: was 200 + hairs. I heard that 50 - 100 is normal per day but that
: was more. I stopped washing it every day a long time ago and now
try
: to go maybe every 2 - 3 days. Is that a good thing to wash it
less?
: What are the pros and cons wiht my hair loss? I never had the
: thickest hair, more on the medium - thinner side but alot of it.
Now
: I have alot less maybe half of what I had. When I have my hair in a
: pony tail it is about half the size it use to be. I have been to
my
: doctor and a dermatologist and after much blood work they both see
: nothing wrong. Everything checks out ok. So we are all clueless.
:
: I am hoping with my continued use of Henna it will stop falling out
: and grow back and be fuller again. I plan to Henna at least every
3 -
: 4 weeks. I hope that is ok? My last Henna was about 3 weeks ago
and
: I plan to do it again this week. Has anyone had any problems with
: hair loss? What did you do to help? Can you tell me if the Henna
: will help and what other things I can do to get it to stop falling
: out? I lead a healthy lifestyle, eat well, vitamins, exercise and
so
: on but will try just about anything to help. Right now my hair is
a
: little past my shoulders, it was all one length to my bra strap but
I
: figured I'd chop a bunch off and maybe that would help, it didn't.
: Any advice would be appreciated on how to help hair loss.

I can't really give any advice on this subject, but I just wanted to
let you know I am in the exact same boat as you. My hair has been
thinning over the past year or so (maybe more, hard to tell). I am
also vegetarian, I hope that has nothing to do with it. I continue
to use henna about every 4-6 weeks because I have also heard it would
either help or at least not make it worse. Have you tried Pantene
Pro-V "Full and Thick". I haven't tried it yet but I plan on it.
It's new and the commercial looks pretty good..hehe.. Let me know if
you find anything that works. I loose a lot of hair in the shower
too, and wash it every 2-3 days also. I havent actually counted but
I will next time. Hmmm.. Have you tried Rogaine for women. It's
supposed to be the only treatment really proven to work. I looked in
to it and the only downside is that you have to use it twice a day,
every day, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!! The upside is that if you
stop using it, you will only lose the hair that you regrew from the
Rogaine, not any more. And you can still use Henna with the
Rogaine. I'm not that desperate yet, but I'm getting close.. Good
luck!!
