Folic Acid

[BlancoNino]

Hey so lately I've been noticing 3-4 hairs falling out a day when I'm in the shower. People tell me it's normal for adults to lose 100 hairs today. Baldness does NOT run in my family (My dad, either of my grandpas, none of my great grandparents, none of my uncles or great uncles...NOBODY) and I was wondering if this was normal...or should I start taking folic acid?

OH GAWD 3 HAIRS!

uh, folic acid won't do anything anyway.

Isn't it the main ingredient in hair thickening solutions? I read somewhere a long time ago that you can just save yourself the money and buy straight folic acid instead of spending a lot on expensive commercial products.

3-4 hairs falling out = way, way less than normal. it should be like at least 10.

Well on top of that (I kind of have shaggy hair) I get these loose hairs that fall into view of my eye that I pull out throughout each day (around 5-6 a day).

Also, I've always kind of had thin hair (which is mainly why I keep it long because it just doesn't have the strength or weight to lay down properly) and have been thinking about something to help thicken it a little bit.

I hear Sodium Pentathol, when injected in the arm, will prevent all future hairloss with one treatment.

BlancoNino, you should give it a "shot."

Time to have a paternity test done?

I've done it so many times I've built an immunity. I guess that means I'm immortal. Bow to me.

??? Am I incorrect about folic acid or something?

I was thinking more as a precursor to Pancuronium bromide and Potassium Chloride.

if you have thin hair, that's a good thing. most people with thin hair don't go bald... it's when you feel that your hair has become course and thick when you should start worrying. hair thickening shampoos only damage hair, which makes hair easier to break.... imagine a stick.... then, imagine making half-shavings on the stick all the way up so it made it kinda spikey on the sides all the way up.... the center of the stick has become weakened. that's basically how hair thickening shampoos work.

your best bet is to just get a haircut that ISN'T overplayed and unoriginal so that the hair isn't in your face....

Well what about natural supplements. I'd never ever try a "hair thickening shampoo". I read a thing about avacor saying that a lot of people take it just to grow a little thicker hair.

avacor isn't natural and CERTAINLY isn't without side-effects.

folic acid, biotin, paba, and b5 vitamin are natural supplements that MIGHT help... but, honestly, don't count on it. you're honestly normal... you're not losing your hair or anything. you'll have the same results, i think.... hair is natually supposed to fall out everyday. 3-4 hairs in the shower is way less than normal, which means that your hair won't go anywhere for a long, long time.

saw palmetto helps block something called dht, which is a form of testosterone, which causes hairloss. however, like i said before, your "hair loss" isn't really hair loss at all.... if you went to the doctor's office and asked him wtf, he'd probably laugh at you and tell you to quit wasting his time and that you're perfectly normal and are at no risk of losing your hair anytime soon.

Assuming I'm not losing my hair and my hair isn't thinning...would a product like that benefit in the result of just naturally thicker hair?

i edited my post. go ahead and read it.

assuming your hair is thinning and you're not losing your hair, then, yes, they'd help.... except for saw palmetto. that wouldn't do much for thinning hair.

Folic Acid is the chemical name for Vitamin B. Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C. Folic Acid's biggest role in the body is cell maintinence, especially maintenance, repair, and production of new or old red blood cells in the body.


The main ingrediant in Rogain is Minoxidil (C9H15N5O) and is not a vitamin or nutritional supplement. Consult your doctor before taking or using any new drug. By using Rogain, Serious side effects may occour like, vominting, blindness, excess neffing, loose stools, tooth loss, insanity, oversized ego(due to extra hair), heart attack, or stroke.

But my hair isn't thinning.

Okay, three facts before we move on lol.

1) I'm not losing hair.

2) My hair isn't thinning.

3) My hair is naturally thin.

My question is that since I have naturally thin hair will a product such as avacor work to make it a little bit thicker (so that it's easier to deal with and a little nicer looking)? I've read their website and it says that some people who aren't experiencing thinning or hair loss take it to grow thicker hair and it works. The problem is that I read that on their website so I'm very much skeptical.

terrible idea. don't do it... and certainly don't let a dermatologist or md talk you into it. they could easily lose their license.

Are you referring to what you said earlier? I'm assuming that certain hair thickening solutions DO work but can lead to some pretty harsh long-term damage?
