I want something to help them grow back.What can I do about thinning hair and thin stumpy eyelashes?
In your case, these could be the causes of your suffering





Thyroid problems





Harsh chemicals (e.g. hair coloring, perms)





Scarring from burns





X-ray therapy





Telogen hair effluvium (shedding) - This is basically due to some temporary physiological upset like:





鈥?After pregnancy





鈥?Side Effects of medication (e.g. anticoagulants, gout medication, antidepressives, contraceptives and excess


Vitamin A)





鈥?Rapid weight loss





鈥?Reaction to illness or major surgery (e.g. sustained high fever, hair may fall out up to three months afterwards)





鈥?Reaction to chemotherapy





鈥?Emotional upsets





Dietary deficiencies (e.g. iron deficiency)





Fungal infections of the scalp (e.g. ringworm 鈥榯inea capitis鈥?





Smoking





Stress





Rarely, hair loss may be an early symptom of disease like diabetes or lupus.





See if any of these is one of them





There are several treatment options that may help to stimulate and encourage hair growth. If hair loss occurs as a result of an underlying condition or disease, then the condition needs to be treated first. The various types of hair loss are treated with specific medication which includes antibiotics, corticosteroids, or steroid injections. For more serious episodes of hair loss, surgical procedures such as hair transplants, scalp reduction or skin grafts may be performed to replace hair loss.





Natural and holistic therapy offers a gentler alternative for people experiencing hair loss than the harsh effects of conventional medication. Treatments such as herbal and homeopathic remedies stimulate and encourage hair growth as well as support blood circulation, hormonal balance and thyroid functioning.





Herbal remedies along with good nutritional diet (supplements in case of severe deficiency or if directed by your doctor) help hair grow stronger and more plentifully by nourishing it at the roots. They achieve this by stimulating blood flow and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles and hence promoting healthy hair growth and slowing down excessive hair loss. Although the process begins within a few days, as the hair grow slowly, the results are visible only after a few months.





Herbs commonly used include Ginkgo biloba, Rosmarinus officinale and Xanthoxylum clavaherculis help to promote strong, abundant hair. Other powerful herbs such as Equisetum arvense, Avena sativa and Echinacea are effective combating hair loss and nourishing hair follicles.





Hope all this helps

Try biotin, it works great! But you really have to take a high mcg of it to work so make sure you check with your dr. first just to be sure it is right for you.








Good luck!
Have you tried Biotin? My sister had the same problem and she tried it and her hair came back and she has nice full hair now. I tried it and I got really soft hair and skin.
