Ever since being on dialysis, I've noticed hair loss. Wasn't that bad when I first started PD, but over the years and switching over to hemo, I lost alot of hair. I'm at the point now that I have non existent eyebrows (like Guynan from Star Trek), and everytime I washed my hair I had strands of it in my hands.

I'm on PD and my hair is just really really thin, I used to be able to have it up in a pony tail and it was full and a nice length but not it is like sad looking. It also lot a lot of its coloring but I was able to fix that by dying it a nice strawberry blonde.

Ha another oldie being recalled.
Yup, I actually read ALL of these recalled oldies.
Those I've steered into doing it reported back 'good results'.
Won't go into detail, just try a Google :
Castor oil - hair

Thank you
talker
for the caster-oil-idea.
I also went through a terrible time losing lots of my hair as a result of the shock my body went through
when I started my dialysis-treatment over one year ago. Meanwhile - luckily - my body has calmed down a lot
and my hair-loss has stopped quite a few months ago and lots of hair has started to grow back again
and all my newly grown hair has come back blond and in curls, whereas originally my hair was always straight ...

Threads like this is why I love this forum. My hair is falling out real bad and my nurses keep poo pooing it. Meanwhile, I'm ending up with fist full every time I run my hand through my hair. I can deal with the stomach pooch and never looking good in a bikini again, but I can't handle going bald!
One thing I've found that is helping is Lush Big Shampoo. It's super voluminous so at lay my thin hair can look fuller. Dry shampoo also helps thicken the roots for a day.
