Women over fifty often experience thinning hair. This can be caused by hormonal changes such as decreasing estrogen, increased sensitivity to testerone, or low thyroid. Sometimes it’s just hereditary. I did experience hair thinning a few years back, and since I’ve always had somewhat thin, very fine hair, I’ve been dealing with this problem for at least fifty years now. I therefore consider myself an expert on this subject and will now tell you all my secrets.
First, after my hair had thinned to the point where styling it was a huge chore (I had to carefully arrange each strand so as to not have scalp showing), I decided to try Rogaine™—the generic form is minoxidil. I’ve used it now for at least three years, and I estimate it has increased my hair volume by about 20 percent. This is a great result; it makes all the difference. I recommend it for anyone; it works for at least 60 percent of women. I’m also amazed at how many hairdressers don’t know anything about it, or are misinformed (one of them told me, “You must use it twice a day, every day, and if skip it even once, all your progress is down the drain.” Wrong!) Minoxidil is for men and women.
