Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Holy Cow - What is going on ? I HAVE to ask in case someone knows why this is happening - Today I noticed my hair has grown like 4" longer .....this is WEIRD because I have curly hair and this last year it's been falling out like crazy - I was worried about it but because it's thinner - but way longer....Why would this happen ? I LOVE it - it's finally grown to my shoulder blades but you can't tell cause it's so freaking curly. I still look like I wear a wig lol Anyone have any tips for growing hair even Longer ? I've always wanted really really long hair - that won't happen but I'm up for suggestions |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Villette maybe it is a hormone thing. I know we are close in age, I've been experiencing the hair loss too, along with other wonderful age appropriate problems. My doctor says it is the changing hormone levels. I answered isn't that your diagnosis for everything with me? LOL For 20 years now. I hate to admit it but I think he may be right, OMG. I swear my husband and I are having a race to see who goes bald first. I afraid I may be winning.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | LOLOL !! You all hit it right on Target - Hormones are FLATLINED - (doctors actual words) and this is why I'm wondering about this. I have the kind of hair that does NOT grow - (it's been down my back once - and after that cut - it never did grow again like that) My hair usually grows TALLER LOL I kid you not !! Now it's really long in the back - but going straight in the front - and I was worried about that BALD thing too - I rake out HUGE handfulls of hair every day - it's even all over my clothes now - it's GROSS ! So why would hair be falling out - but growing double/triple in length in just a few months ? Brenda - I lose 100 hairs every time I touch my head |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Brenda - I'm really considering it - it's falling out ALL over thank God and not just in one place....but it sure is weird. Not that I don't already have weird hair to begin with - I've never seen a white woman with quite this kind of hair. lol - I HATE IT - but longer is GOOD !! I could even braid it now ....but it would look like a rat tail compared to the rest of my head |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | My hair is normally very curly (kinky even), this past year the hair in front has began to straighten on it's own. It baffles me bc it has always been just as curyly as the rest of my head. I can't get it to take curl with out alot of effort now. I may try the Rogaine, thanks for the tip Brenda. I would love to just keep what I have at this point, lol. Villette mine goes thru periods of falling out like you described and then it goes back to a more normal loss pattern for awhile.

| I have no clue for why your hair has grown except maybe diet related as others have posted. It could be hormonal or it could be thyroid related. A friend of mine started losing more hair than normal several years ago and her doctor checked her thyroid level - outta "whack", put her on meds, and her hair stopped falling out in the "big clumps" (her words, not mine!) it had been. Hope you find the answer soon!

| Villette...aren't you on a new eating program and drinking more water? That's all it is...you're watering it too much! All kidding aside...a few years ago I grew my hair to my waist, I was taking a super vitamin for women and a hair/skin/nails supplement and my hair seemed to grow overnight. I also noticed hair all over the place and asked my beautician what was up, she said my hair was just fine but when it grows longer you notice the hair on your clothes, floor, contertop, sink etc...more than you do when it's short. It actually made sense...shorter hairs are harder to see. I'll warn you about this though...when your hair is long and you raise your arm it will get caught in your armpit...that used to bug the crap out of me! |

My furkids Donating Member | V!! I just thought of something!! You have changed your diet right? I had gone on the diet workshop diet about 10 years ago...I lost 67 lbs (gained back half of it... ) anyway....I was losing hair at that time...My Mom even told me that my hair looked thinner....I'm sure your diet has something to do with it..
