Do you think men tend to get bald than women. I have seen a lot of bald men but very few women. I am losing my hair at a rate. I'm scared I might get bald one day.

I can understand your fear. You must consultant a skin specialist. There are several causes of loosing hair and respective treatments. Once I lost a big patch of hair. Somebody advised me to use German Tincture. It hurts a bit in first week but it was a successful remedy. Another household remedy is to scrub onion juice on your scalp. It helps. You can also try mixing vitamin E capsules in your oil before applying it on your hair. All the best.

Thanks. I am currently taking biotin. What is German Tincture. Is it a plant, I have never heard of it. May be we in this part of the world are using another name for it. But I like to know what it is. Onion is out cos my hubby hates the smell of it (LOL)

German Tincture is in liquid form and easily available in medical shops in India. It used to be about Rs 60 a bottle some time back. You just need to sprinkle some drops on your scalp wherever you think hair is less. I used it without consulting a doctor. It did not harm me. But it is better to check with a doctor because he/she can only tell if it is sutable for your condition. Finally, don't fret too much. Wigs are also available for any emergency. Cheers!

My personal experience is sunsilk makes your hair very thin. So be careful. I am currently taking biotin and I think it very slowly answers the falling.

hi, i dont know accurately about it.but,the hair loss is general to all.my tips for avoiding hair loss is,heat the coconut oil with some curry leaves.then,touch the oil when it has mild heat,then apply in each area of ur head.do proper massag.do this regularly.you can realise the change in ur head.but during peak winter,you should apply oil daily.

more men do seem to loose their hair, few women seem to. Sometimes hormones or stress affect our hair, try not to worry, blad/shaven heads are pretty cool and you could always wear a bandanna, hat, wig, lol

At 46, it's something that I am just starting to struggle with.
