i think this post really helps. a lot of women do seem to have thinning hair and for some reason it kind of is an issue that gets swept under the rug by doctors. I had thinning hair too where I could see my scalp. It did not get as extreme as kitty's, but I could see my scalp and that was enough to make me change my lifestyle.

I was deficient in a few vitamins that help hair growth, i started taking a multivitamin, and biotin. I also started treating my hair very carefully, using nioxin shampoo and scalp massage. I changed my diet, no more junk food or soda. And to be honest, it has helped. I have all these new baby hairs on my scalp. I mean they are coming in slowly and hair still falls out of the shower, but something I'm doing is right because I do see hair growth in the crown area (where I was losing it)

Also, I was never on loestrin
