Female Hair Loss — What to Do?

I have been losing my hair for years. I’ve been a sucker for many high priced hoaxes and am now to the point where the comb over is barely hiding it anymore. I’ve lost so much of my hair on the front/top and am ashamed to even look in the mirror, I feel like crying each morning when I style my hair. When people look at me I can’t help but feel like they are laughing, I’m only 30. I had asked my doctor awhile back (when I was about 22-23), but his advice to me was to learn to live with it, there’s nothing that can be done for hair loss. Please, is there any product out there that you would recommend for me to research, (I know in the medical world you can’t recommend a product for me to try), so all I’m asking for is a point in the right direction. Every time I try I just feel more defeated, there are so many products out there, I know most of them are little more than snake oil. Please please help–I don’t know where else to turn for an unbiased recommendation.

I hesitated to write an answer to you because I did not want to contribute to the many failures of treatments you have experienced. It sounds like you are accepting your balding without having a medical work-up. Please review the many pages of answers in the Female Hair Loss category, and then get a good doctor who will work as a professional in helping you to surround the diagnosis and treatment for your hair loss. Good luck.
