Unhappy When does hair stop falling out?

Can anyone help me with what to do with my hair? I was wondering when it would stop falling out as much. Also should I cut it and perm it to make it look like I have more?(very thin hair) I know it kinda sounds vain but its dull and just hangs there and I find it everywhere (lots of it) in the car on my pillow on my sweaters. Will I go bald?

Hmmmm... I can't really help you from personal experience. Jane's seemed to stop falling out after a few months though. Interestingly, it grew back really curly. I'm using Jane's "volumizing" shampoo, to give me a little fuller look.

I started to notice hair loss and increased my protein intake and started taking biotin. Within a week it had almost stopped! It's hard to tell with me though because my hair is so thick and I lose a lot of it on a daily basis to begin with. Hope this helps you too!

Thanks Jen I have upped my protein. (80 to 100gms) What is Biotin ?? Sorry I'm kinda lame
Is it a vitamin? What about the fact it is dull and lifeless. It looks like a stringy mess. Your hair is beautiful by the way.

I guess biotin is a vitamin. It's for hair and nails. I got mine at GNC, but you may want to shop around. The GNC ones are a very low dose. they worked fine for me but aparently most people need a higher dosage. If you search biotin on this forum you should come up with some info, I know there were a few threads going around about it. Thanks for the hair compliment!
