Need some serious feedback here. First off I want to say that i shampoo my hair everyday. But I noticed last nite some itching on my scalp. Today I shampooed my hair and some to my shock about 10 hair strands in the shower.

I always check for hair strands in the shower every time I shampoo. I havent lost this much hair since about a month ago.

Is this normal? Is this amount of hair strand shedding normal? Should I be worried?

Ginger root? That's interesting. I may look into that. How did she suggest you use it? I suppose you would have to juice it right? I'm always game for a natural solution if possible.

 

And if you ever have other specific questions about my own experience, just lemme know. I'm happy to help.

I beleive you have to get an extract, will find out for sure.

Appreciate the feedback on your transplant. Did you have to get one transplant or 2 or 3?

.

 

For shampoo, I use Ovation shampoo/conditioner, which really helps my scalp a lot. And when my scalp gets really dry/itchy, I apply Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to it. It burns like hell, but really does the job.

Funny you mention that. A woman recommended that i use ginger root as a shampoo. I may do just that today!

BTW I saw your pics of your hair. Looks like you had a transplant. May I ask with what doctor did you have that done? Any issues after the procedure?

bencar...often after a hair transplant a patient suffers from itching as the scalp heals. It can be pretty intense at times.

 

since yours is not post-op itch I would start with something like this:

 

T/Gel® Therapeutic Shampoo - Stubborn Itch | NEUTROGENA®

I will try that out. appreciate it

It is another form of alopecia that is more of a disorder and most times the individual is not aware they are doing it. It typically occurs while sleeping.

When you say its an alopecia are you saying theres a link in sleeping with the hair loss?

Bencar,

 

Shampoo asks a very important question. Is this itching after a procedure, or itching in the scalp in general? Anything accompanying the itching -- redness, scaling, dry skin, oil skin, etc?

When you talk about procedure youre maybe asking about a transplant. No I'm not asking for that. . What would you recommend?

are you having post-op itching?

post op itching?? What exactly is this?

What good shamppoos out there can reduce constant itching?

Not likely to be the cause of the hair loss. Are you possibly pulling it while you sleep?

Why would I pull it?

For many years I have been sleeping to one side of my bed. Funny thing is I'm shedding hair on that side of my head. Is this coincidence or maybe a link? Anyone experience this too??

strange phenomenon if you ask me.
