My hair seems to be thinning, one side of my hairline is higher then the other, and when i shampoo and condition, lots of strands of hair fall out of my scalp, I'm a guy.(15 y.o)
What kind of shampoo and conditioner should I use.
Not Tresseme!!What kind of shampoo should I use for thinning hair?
Try using root lifting, or volumizing shampoos and conditioners, this way they will make your hair look fuller. Garnier Fructis (green bottle) is good, and has a nice smell too, but Pantene is really good too. Those are my picks. Just look for the bottles that say root lifting, or thickening, or volumizing. Everyone's hair falls out in the shower, most people loose an average of 100 hair strands a day, so don't worry about that.What kind of shampoo should I use for thinning hair?
Elvive Hair Thickening Shampoo :)

Nioxin, Salon Shampoo.
It has a minty smell not girly.

How do they put in hair extensions with white girls, or to add hair to thinning hair?
Each strand is 'pre-tipped' with a synthesized keratin protein that acts as a glue to bond the strands onto your hair. Heat may be used to bond, or 'melt' the glue, or some stylists use FastFusion technology, which uses air pressure to bond the hairs in faster time. Prices run anywhere from $10 for a single extension to $2,000 for a full head.How do they put in hair extensions with white girls, or to add hair to thinning hair?
The salon kind are really expensive and potentially damaging to your hair. I used the clip in kind after a bad chemical processing to cover the damage while it grew out. They can be a pain to clip in and hurt if you wear them all day, but they didn't damage my hair and would be a fun way to change up your look for a night.How do they put in hair extensions with white girls, or to add hair to thinning hair?
ive had extensions twice. the first time they weaved the hair with braids on the scalp and the hair pieces were sowed in. the second was with the glue gun.
the first way itches the crap out of ur scalp and u tend to have alot of brakage around ur scalp from scratching and it has to be redone every 6 weeks, the second is messy and leaves tiny blobs of glue in ur hair that cant been seen from a distance but ur aware of them and they make u paranoid.
i found the best way to get my hair long was no hair dies, regular treatments at the salon and regular trims.
as the other answers suggest, they can be glued, clipped[which is more temporary] or sewn in by cornrowing part fo the hair and then sewing the extension right in.
they have hair extentions for white women and glue for them too at your local hair store.

How can i cover bald patches without using the clips that you can see through thinning hair?
is there any other way of 'attaching' hair without using the clips?How can i cover bald patches without using the clips that you can see through thinning hair?
Get a hair transplant or join the Hair Club for Women.How can i cover bald patches without using the clips that you can see through thinning hair?
Hiyaaa babe, omg are you alright? Well, balding is an issue and obviously, your suffering.
I think the way in which you style your hair is important. Have you got curley hair?
Oh .. thats embarrasing. Joking lads!
Or you could colour the patches in with a felt tip. Or some chalk
Yeah why dont you try pinning your fringe back and then dragging it to cover any bald patches. I really hope that helps. Maybe use a bandana or head band.
To cover the patches
Or MAYBE a plaster. Pretend you have had a face lift and then wear a bandage. That would cover it.
Good luck babe, hope that helps you hunni =) xxxxxxx
Go to hairdirect dot com and see what they have to offer. I don't know what kind of extra hair you are using with clips, but this is a good website which will help you. Good luck!

Are there any hair products that can prevent split ends or thinning hair caused by a straightner or curling.?
I haven't exactly started straightening my hair or curling it a lot, but I was interested in it, but I have heard it can damage your hair. Is this true? And if so are there any shampoo's or conditioners that I can apply on my hair before straightening it to help it stay healthy? Thanks!Are there any hair products that can prevent split ends or thinning hair caused by a straightner or curling.?
yes, it damages it because you're sliding it inbetween two hot ceramic slates
get chi-silk infusion- it's a heat protective spray and makes your hair shiny and silky and soft and healthy, even on my coarse spiraly curly hair
make sure you have a good straighter like a chi
completely worth it and keeps hair straight all day
I started losing hair because I would use a remmington wet to dry straightener. don't use it! get a real ceramaic one.
blowdry your hair with a roound brush before hand so you wont have to use excess heatAre there any hair products that can prevent split ends or thinning hair caused by a straightner or curling.?
I have been dealing with frizzy hair all my life...my daughter and niece have frizzy hair...so I can tell you from experience, finding the right products and styling equipment will help...There is a blower/brush combo that will help...there are a few manufacturers. It looks like a curling iron but it has a blower (air that is hot and cool) that works at the same time. It blows air out and heats the attachment and acts like a blower and curling iron at the same time. The shaft of this thing comes in metal or ceramic and can make your styling easier, takes less time, and does less damage because it is does it all. i got my current blower/curling iron at Sallys, but I have seen them at Target also. Be care with the ceramic shafts because they get too hot and have a tendency to break off your hair. The one I have now is made by Revlon.
yes, it can and usually will
you should always use a heat protection spray before using any heat tools :)
for shampoos/ conditioners, i would use SUNSILK thermashine because it is meant to use with heat :)
and if you have split ends and want to get rid of them you can get a haircut (duh)
but the only other way is to use a hair serum (like garnier fructis sleek and shine serum) on the ends of your hair to temporarily seal the hair shaft.
hope i helped :D
yes it can seriously damagw your hair. yeah of course there is, if you want to prep you hair before you straight you could always use thermasilk or paul mitchell. and you can buy heat protectant sprays also from any cvs / salon / or sally beauty supply
treseme always has heat protectors that you can spray on before you do your hair

Anyone out there ever used herbs or other to reverse their thinning hair?
Can you tell me what those remedies were and the resultsAnyone out there ever used herbs or other to reverse their thinning hair?
A friend of mine swears by Brazil nuts,rather than herbs. He eats about two a day and apparently,has stopped losing his hair!
No harm in trying,as you won't get any side effects!Anyone out there ever used herbs or other to reverse their thinning hair?
To make my hair thicker I used to put a couple sticks of celery(Depending on length of hair) in the blender or a food processor and then when it's all mushed up I would put it in a strainer to where I just had the pure juice. Then I would wash my hair with it, about once or twice a week, and it actually worked. I would try it, what do you have to lose? It could work for you too.
I have used a Biotin enriched shampoo with some positive results. Thicker hair, though I am still experiencing the receding hairline.

Yes, Rogaine really works. It takes about 3 months before you notice your hair is growing in. I used it myself. Also you can use CVS brand, less expensive.
My boyfriend uses Nioxin. Shampoo and Conditioner, helps prevent more hair loss and cleans the scalp well.
I got a cheaper alternative Miracle Gro 2x's a day everyday !!

Whats the best follicle booster for thinning hair in African-American women?
I've heard about Nioxin but does it work for black people's hair?Whats the best follicle booster for thinning hair in African-American women?
As soon as I saw this question i thought the same thing as Amber Marie, and I agree with her. There is no such thing as a ';follicle booster.';
If you, like most black women, are relaxed then the relaxer could be the cause of your thinning hair. It causes constant breakage and thinning over time. If you go natural then you'll see that you still have a head of thick, beautiful, luscious hair that will grow longer and stronger without the harsh chemicals. My natural hair is thicker than my thin relaxed hair, and it's growing without breakage (yey!).
Not to go on a rage against relaxers, but I'm just stating facts - they are very damaging to African hair types because the chemicals are very strong and weaken our hair, which makes it more prone to breakage. Even if you take good care of your hair at some point years of relaxing will begin to take it's toll and the chemicals will begin to break your hair. It's no coincidence that Oprah and many other celebs go natural after they achieve fame - it's probably because they come into contact with good hairstylists who inform them of the damage relaxers are doing to their hair - if you've watched Oprah over the years then she's talked about the damage and bad relaxers and her relaxed hair was always short. She recently showed a picture of her natural hair and its THICK and mid-back length and many people thought she was wearing a straight weave, but it's her real natural hair - pressed.
If you want healthy, long hair, but still want it straight then you're better off going natural and wearing straight sew-ins or flat ironing, because the chemicals are much worse than doing those things.
I'm just sayin!

EDIT: Glad to know that you're natural. I'd take the advice of the other posters and see a doctor and try to the bottom of it. Sometimes ill healthy can be the cause of thinning hair and hair loss. Sorry, for assuming you were relaxed, but reality is that most black women relax their hair, so it's a logical conclusion.Whats the best follicle booster for thinning hair in African-American women?
I am sorry, but that is just a scam, there is no such thing as a ';follicle booster'; Thinning hair is a biological symptom and cannot be helped by shampoo. I assume that you have seen a doctor, what did he/she advise? Hair thins for a reason, and the only thing that you can do is treat the cause.
I think Nioxen is great for thinning hair...It won't grow your hair thicker or longer but it will take good care of the hair you already have.....I do suggest to my clients that they take biotin or prenatal Vitamins along with what they use externally....biotin is crucial to keratin replacement in hair and nails.... biotin every day with a multi.. or a prenatal will really help strengthen your hair....it won't work over night give a 3 month try.......And in the mean time be kind to hair you have....nothing harsh on it.....just a lot of TLC.....
i have an african american friend, and she is beautiful. she says she uses this hair product that she bought on the internet from omaha, NE.
