Mine was coming out in handfuls and scared me. I asked the doc and she said it was prob my thyroid, since ive been on meds for years but always fluxuating. She said if we didnt get it right try Rogaine yup i was suprised she said it really works. Instead i cut off like 8 inches and to my suprise no more hair loss, Just that quick i have no idea why. So i got a cute new dew!!
