In the News - Singer Lady Gaga Uses Rogaine?

Snippet from the article:

Lady Gaga is reportedly taking an anti-baldness drug.

The 25-year-old singer - who has experienced hair loss because of how often she has dyed her tresses - has started using Rogaine in order to reverse the years of damage she has subjected her locks to in the name of fashion.

A source is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: “Over the years Lady Gaga has put her locks under a lot of stress. She’s poured so much chemicals over them that it’s damaged her follicles.

“She’s hoping by using Rogaine, she can repair some of the harm.”

Judging by photos, it appears that singer Lady Gaga not only has her hair bleached, but that she also wears wigs. Rogaine (minoxidil) is the only FDA approved treatment for female hair loss, so if she is losing her hair from chemical damage, this would be a likely treatment path.

Her hair loss was in the news a few months back, but do I know if she’s actually using minoxidil or if this is just tabloid gossip? No clue.

 

After a Stressful Situation, My Hairline Has Receded

Dear Balding Blog,
I recently went through a very stressful experience and now 1 month later, I noticed that my hairline has matured or possibly receded around the temple areas. There are many factors I have considered (stress, wearing my hair in a side part, maturation of the hairline), do you think I should begin to take action and see a doctor?

Without knowing how old you are or any of your medical or family history, it would be impossible for me to say what you might be experiencing. So yes, if you’re concerned you should see a doctor for an in-person examination to help determine what is causing you recent loss. At the very least, you should get your stress under control.
