I have about ten left, and they get roll call every morning. What hair on the top? :-)

This will lead to systemic impairment of growing cells including hair follicles, and that's why Selsun Blue and Head and Shouldes with selenium can stop hair loss with their antioxidant potential as precursors. However, a systemic antioxidant program plus stopping metabolic syndrome is the way to regeneration, including to hair. Right Kady; I was referring to the fact that diabetics have up to

Thank you, Duncan. Interestingly, I was able to find some information on the
internet about it for the first time, after I sent that question to the list.

and the top of the head only pattern hair loss of women. There are other
causes as well, such as prolonged stress and hormonal/menopause, but a definite

loss.

that many who think they have male or female pattern baldness actually have

undiagnosed diabetes.

The biggest oxidative stress reducer is an antioxidant program including the glutathione precursos cold-process whey and selenium. I’d expect the hair loss may be caused by free radical damage and
