hi i used to have very thick hair. My hair was so thick that my hair ties would break. I then went into a salon and a woman put streaks in my hair (bleach). After that, my hair has thinned so much that 80 percent of it has fallen off and not grown back and it has thinned so much. What can I do to grow back the hair? Its been two years and it hasn't grown back. It has thinned quite a bit and I am devastated. Keep in mind I am a 29 year old female.

Answer: It may take 6 to 12 months for damaged hairs to grow back. If you are concerned it is best to see a doctor for an examination.
Saw
palmetto is an OTC medication with properties reported to mildly block
DHT. There is no evidence that saw
palmetto will help a typical female patterned hair loss. It can help women who suffer from male
patterned baldness due to excess testosterone in their bodies.
No. Unlike this popular hair-loss drug, another drug, Finasteride is associated with a variety of side-effects on male reproduction primarily affecting libido and should not be touched by women or children but no warnings about Minoxidil have been issued to my knowledge...
Loss of hair is a natural process when it is between the limits that the body can restore them. When the capacity of the body to restore the hair loss is beaten by the excessive hair loss then we can name this situation something that should be treated.
