You can pick up good hair products at any health food store, no harsh chemicals are used. They are a bit more expensive but worth it. Also depending on the color of your hair you might want to try streaking it that way the color will blend. Also many of us in the forum are taking BIOTIN, it makes the hair grow, no kidding and the only side effect is the nails grow too. I personally take 1000 mcg a day. My hair is thicker than ever before. I have been taking this natural product for years with no harm....My hairstylist turned me on to Biotin when she noticed how much my hair was thinning.
