Hair Loss Treatments - Part Two

[Here’s my answer to Nathalie’s hair loss question .]



Hi Nathalie.



Vitamin B Supplements

Vitamin B supplements are sometimes prescribed for hair loss. In fact, Phytophanere Hair Loss Supplement is chock full of B Vitamins as well as Biotin and some other ingredients which have shown promise for the treatment of hair loss, especially Y-Orizanol, Y-Linolenic Acid, Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid.



Topical Vitamin B

Topical Vitamin B3 (Niacin) has been shown to increase ceramide and free fatty acid levels in skin which helps skin retain moisture and stimulates microcirculation (The British Journal of Dermatology September 2000 and The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology April 2004). All these effects could contribute to smoother, healthier looking skin. The increased microcirculation might be helpful to failing hair follicles.



Your Kerastase Products

You’ve had success with Kerastase Bain Specifique, as have others of my readers, so please stick with that.



L’Oreal does not market its Kerastase Resistance line for thinning hair but rather to strengthen and give volume to fine hair. This would make whatever hair you have appear thicker.

Hair Loss Treatments - Part One

Hi, I read your blog on Bain Prevention and I wanted to add my comments too. I am 24 years old and I experience diffuse hair loss that has settled down some after eight years.



I’m also on a combo of Phytophanere and multivitamin along with iron supplement, I have new growth all over my head. A month ago, I started using Bain Prevention and it does wonders for my thinning hair. Each hair strand is thicker and when I shower, I only have a few hairs down the drain.



However, my question is regarding Bain Age Recharge, from the Kerastase Resistance line. The hairdresser who sold the Bain Prevention advised me to use the Bain Age Recharge when I finish the shampoo as it contains vitamin B3 which will reactivate cellular exchange and stimulate hair growth.



I started to use it a week ago and it makes my hair fall out. I use it with the mask Age Recharge and I can't understand why this makes my hair fall. I have used it two times only. That is strange given that it contains 2-oleamido-1, 3-octadecanediol which is patented as a hair loss ingredient.



Can you advise me on this?



With thanks,

Nathalie
