I am a 30 year old mother of 2. For the past 2 years I have experienced hair loss mostly in the frontal part. In this area my hair is thin, fragile and uncombable. Totally dry. Although my hair fall is under control now, the hair in the front and crown area still falls out, especially the regrowth. I am taking supplements and iron and that has improved the texture of hair elsewhere on my scalp but the problem area. Could it be a hormonal problem as my periods are late and heavy and my hair falls more specially just before and during my periods? I also suffer from eyebrow loss. They grow back and then fall out again. My main problem is keeping the regrowth. Please help.

With irregular periods, there may well be a connection with the hair loss you are reporting. It is critical for you to get a doctor involved. Please refer to this past blog entry to find a list of tests that should be included in your work-up, which you can show to your family doctor as a start.
