I take 2mg folic acid daily and I'm still experiencing hair thinning. Any tips to prevent this and regrow my hair?
Thank you

I started taking biotin about a year ago and use shampoos with biotin, it has made a definite difference for me, maybe give that a try

My hair has thinned, dried out and broke off. I even bought a couple of wigs bc one time it was so bad. But they itch and made me sweat. So- I think I'd rather get a butch cut and wear some huge earrings with 'I like guys' on them. Don't want to disappoint any confused ppl. Could be a good time to get a Tat. Maybe a big cabbage on top of my head. Or maybe sell advertising space up there. I bet Rogaine would pay. If the methotrexate is stopping your RA- it's worth the loss of your hair. If it doesn't work. You can quit it and try something else. Hair should come back. Gelatin, collagen, biotin. Topical things don't do much for the hair follicles down in the tissues. Ive not had good luck with anything repairing the shaft or hair cuticle except alfaparf products back when they were made in Milan. Dont despair- it's temporary. Sean Connery doesn't need hair either.
