Best Supplements for Hair Growth and Thickness | Recommendations by Expert
I researched the best supplements for hair growth and thickness for the past few days because I have been noticing my hair getting thinner and dull lately. I read reviews on Healthline, Forbes Health, and Medical News Today, and they are marking these two as the best options in 2025: Nutrafol Men's Hair Growth Supplements https://www.amazon.com/Nutrafol-Supplement-Clinically-Thicker-Looking-Stronger-Feeling/dp/B00LTZEEGQ Divi Scalp Serum for Thinning Hair https://www.amazon.com/Divi-Hair-Scalp-Serum-Women/dp/B0BQ3Z7NV7?th=1 From what I found, Nutrafol helps nourish hair from within by providing essential vitamins like biotin, zinc, and marine collagen, which can improve hair thickness and reduce shedding. On the other hand, Divi Scalp Serum works externally by revitalizing the scalp with caffeine, peptides, and amino acids, creating a healthier environment for stronger hair growth.However, I am still unsure which one might work best in the long term. My main goal is to reduce hair fall, promote thicker strands, and maintain a healthier scalp overall.Has anyone here tried either of these or found a supplement that truly worked for you? I would love to hear some real experiences or expert advice before deciding which one to go for.thanks in advance for your suggestions
Liz O'Riordan - breast surgeon with BC Recommended to Read
I found this blog by an English breast surgeon who got BC herself to be incredibly useful & informative when I was first diagnosed. And then most especially the chemo guide when I found out I had to have it myself. She hasn't posted for a long time but a notification just popped into my inbox, she's writing again. So if you're into blogs, check it out. http://liz.oriordan.co.uk/MovingOn_files/this-is-who-I-am.html
Hair loss tears
Haven't been here for a while.. works kept me busy.. and because of my profession people expect me to cope, to manage, to know how to deal with all this BC malarkey... I go to work each day smile with a brave face and manage the case files off 65 vulnerable people... see some terribly sad situations... and I sit here, knowing how bad some of those situations are and try to justify the tears that are falling, and have been falling on and off for 3 hours now, just cause my hair is falling out... I didn't shed this many tears on the day of diagnosis, I didn't shed this many tears through surgery or radiation and subsequent treatments, yet I cry for the loss of hair and my identity that goes with it... and feel a sense of failure that as a professional who sees so much worse, that this can have such an impact. Crikey, its a bloomin hard journey some days. Thanku so much to this forum for being here to allow the vent.
Ode to missing hair
Hi All! Half way along on my 12 weekmy taxol, monthly Herceptin regime. The hair started falling out after about week 3. I didn’t think this was going to be a big problem for me, was looking forward to trying all sorts of interesting headwear. The reality, though, has been quite confronting, and by far the hardest thing to deal with so far. The head is itchy, with infected sores, pimples and incredible sensitivity. All of this you guys know, right? It’s a pretty common theme on here. So, my hair was my ‘thing’, my way of expressing myself, my way of aging disgracefully, and complimenting my zany personality. Now I feel that identity has been ripped away and all I’m left with is a slightly sad, exhausted, pimply visage in the mirror. Even my super cool tshirts have gone by the wayside as I don’t know what to wear on my head to go with them and everything is pretty uncomfortable anyway So tonight I made a movie looking back on my hair over the years. It’s a kind of homage, celebration, and memorium to what was, and hopefully what will be again. Tell me I’m not the only one? Share your lovely locks on here and we’ll commiserate together (and maybe get a bit of a nice giggle too) Onward and upward, my spiky goddesses! Thanks for listening. Here’s my short movie https://m.facebook.com/770892291/posts/10158089672392292/?d=nShaving head to bald - do I go to a barber?
Hi ladies, Just diagnosed with BC early May and have done 3 out of 4 chemo sessions. I have a tiny bit of grey hair left all over but wanted to maybe shave it all off completely by going to a barber (so having a shiny completely bald head). Anyone else done this? Would love to hear from you. Thanks Kerrie x
Eyebrow tattoo / microblading / feathering in Melbourne for cancer patients
Searching for a reputable eyebrow tattoo service, for microblading / feathering in the Melbourne Metro region. Has anyone recently had this procedure done and do you know if there are any suppliers that offer a discounted rate for cancer patients?
To Shave or not to shave?
Hi everyone would like to know your experience. Just about finished my last round of Chemotherapy, hair is starting to grow back but it’s quite light and fluffy. Spoke to a lady the other day and she said that she shaved her head again to get rid of the fluff, once it grew back it looked and felt like hair . Any other thoughts out there?
Hair today...
I got my first post-chemo haircut yesterday (as opposed to the No. 1 I gave myself). I hadn't seen my lovely hairdresser since before this shit began. I didn't want to tell her what was going on over the phone as she has lost too many close family members over the last couple of years to various cancers. But she knew as soon as she saw me yesterday that I had had chemo. There still wasn't enough hair for her to do a lot but now it looks like I've got a short cut rather than being pulled through a hedge backwards. And she was so nice - even though it took her the better part of an hour, she refused payment.
