I'm just curious but do any of you with hair problems have other symptoms as well? Weak nails, for example? Or thinning hair on any other part of your body such as eyelashes, eye brows or legs? Hi, yes I have...all the above...lost all of my hair. I wear wigs, false eyelashes and draw on my eyebrows... alopecia totalis, an autoimmune disease. Not sure where you live but I'm happy to chat to you if you feel you need to, as a sufferer, I know how hurtful it is

Hair loss is horrible but there are a lot of myths associated with it that need correcting - people pay a fortune for cures that won't work and believe all sorts of absolute tosh on this and other health issues. Most hair loss isn't as bad as sufferer thinks and is often stress related. Long term alopecia isufferers are frequently pulling their hair out without even realising they are doing so - Trichotilomania is the technical term and often seen as part of a general anxiety or obsessive compulsive personality traits. Vitamin d deficiency should not be a problem in Dubai unless you never go out in the sun. Low iron level is synonymous with anaemia. You cannot have low iron and not be anaemic. It would have to be really quite severe to cause hair loss - to the level where pulse was rapid and breathing was affected over a prolonged period. Hormonal changes and some hormone type drugs can cause a degree of thinning - pregnancy can make hair thick and glossy or can result in some hair loss. Postpartum hair loss is quite usual but rarely severe. The contraceptive pill can bring on some hair thinning initially but it usually settles after a few months. Steroids cause hair thinning/loss. Immunosuppressants cause hair thinning/loss. Post breast/gynae cancer drugs like Tamoxifen and Herceptin cause thinning/loss but usually settle down. Organic shampoos make not a bit of difference. A scalp infection can create a degree of loss in short term but you would also have sores or itchy scaly patches. Treated with fungicidal shampoo. Caffeine shampoo can help but won't overcome loss caused by drugs. Don't brush hair too much it can break hair and make it look like you are losing hair. Dermatologists are people to see for serious hair loss. Minor loss - answer is to avoid damage by sun, chlorine, excess brushing, elastic bands, treatments, heated appliances. Shorter hairstyles make hair look thicker and reduces weight on follicles.

Hi, my hair has been falling out in big clumps for more than a year now. It freaked me out as my hands look like a gorilla every time I wash my hair. I mentioned it to my hairdresser and she recommended a Kerastase hair loss shampoo (Dh120) that worked for a bit but at the start of this year, the hairfall began again. I'm assuming it is age and/or stress-related as it has happened not just in Dubai. I went online, did some research on shampoos and customer reviews and landed on this one, which is sold in Boots in the UK and on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FKUGQZS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01 It's called for hair over forty (!) but doesn't seem to deliver here so best to get someone coming over to bring it. After a full bottle I can say it's definitely reduced the amount of shedding although not stopped it altogether but it's a fraction of what it was and the bottle lasts a long time. I also bought the 'hair skin and nails' vitamin tablets they sell in Boots on the pharmacist's recommendation as they contain biotin (hair strengthener) but I keep forgetting to take them. Good luck with finding something that works. It's very distressing and confidence-knocking but try not to focus too much on it - it can become an obsession and cause even more stress and possibly hairfall.

Hi girlanchronism can you tell me the name of the product you mentioned in your post. Appreciate your response Regards C

Hi Ladies, Hope you are all doing well. I am 26 years old and suffering from severe hair loss for the past couple of years now. It is really depressing and its worrying me no end. Looking for any kind of help. Please can you let me know your recommendation on the british trichologist you mentioned. Its been a while since you have been doing the treatment he advised you, what is your verdict? Do you see any improvements? I have scheduled an appointment with him for Saturday and would really appreciate if I can get your feedback before that. Really grateful for your help. :)

I know this is an old thread, but since one of the recommendations was the trichologist in dubai, I thought I would share my recent experience. I have had overall shedding for probably 2 years now, but pretty much blew it off, as I know that some shedding is normal. About May/June of this year, I colored my hair very dark... that is when I really saw so much scalp showing through that there was no way my shedding has been normal. I started taking hair and nail growth supplement that I bought from GNC while on vacation in the US over the summer, and bought a shower filter. After 4 months, my hair looked nicer and my nails were stronger, but my hair was still shedding like crazy. Finally, after so much googling, i found the trichologist in Dubai. I went for an initial consultation, and came home with some shampoo and hair tonics... about 1700 dhs worth. It was expensive, definitely, but I have to say, that within just a couple of days, I noticed that my hair fall was much less than before, and by the end of 3 weeks, it felt like i was getting back to normal. In my second appointment, 3 weeks later, he gave me more of the same products and said just to keep using them as it will take time. Also, this time around he gave me some vitamin supplements for an added boost of iron, selenium, etc. I have been happy with the clinic and the results thus far, except for one thing. After getting home with my very expensive vitamin supplements, I started googling the vitamins and discovered that I could buy the exact same products online from the UK or the US for 300-500% cheaper. That is not a small markup, that is HUGE! One box of 90 day supply, he was charging 350dhs for, I found online from the UK for 15pound, and in the US for 30$. One of the hair tonics he gave me, I found it was actually a bit cheaper from him than what I could buy in the US, but I was just shocked at the supplement price. Now I understand why, during my first visit, a lady was trying to get a refund for one of the supplements she had purchased. Overall, I am happy with my results from my treatment at the place so far, but my only advice to anyone going to see the trichologist... DO NOT buy vitamin supplements from their office. Find out what he is advising for you, and purchase it elsewhere.

Thanks for posting this thread. I am in the midst of suffering severe hair loss along with VERY greasy hair. This has only been happening for a month and a half and I think it might just be hormonal for me as I am just shy of 6 months post pregnancy. I really do feel for you, this is pretty scary, I have what looks to be a receding hair line and am losing a lot of hair. My hairdresser was shocked this morning when she saw the state my hair was in. Moving to Dubai in May so if the problem does not rectify itself I will definitely follow this thread so I can follow your recommendations. Hang in there, hopefully someone will find the answer for you :)

I have had severe hair loss for about 4 years not, I have finally found that being on Yasmin contraception pill stops it. If I come off it though it starts again! It's obv hormonal for me. Don't know what I will do in years to come when I can't be on it anymore..!

His office is at Address "Office # 103, 1st Floor, Al Wahda Building, Port Saeed" Phone +971 4 2952121 I think he also hassome sessions at a centre in motorocity. The number is 04 3608866. He saved my life over 20 years ago when I was not too far from bald. I am sure he is only more experienced now. I don't want to hijack the thread but how can he help a mohajiba? I suppose he will have to see your hair right? Are there any women in the clinic as well? Genuine question; can't you take your hijab off for a medical reason for a doctor? Irooni thanks, I've booked an appointment at motor city for Wednesday...praying that he can help me, I'm desperate! If I am in a life threatening or at least very serious medical condition and there is only a man, yes, but for myself presonally my hair fall is not to that extend that I would consider it. I would want to speak to him and see what he suggests, but that's it. Anyhow I hope he will be able to help youl keep us updated! edited by Marroosh on 12/05/2012 Oh right ok, thanks for the explanation :) I'll post back on how it goes - by the number of posts on this subject I don't think I'm alone with this problem! Definitely you are not alone with this problem. My hair has become weaker and thinner over the years and I would love to be my old hair back. Please keep us inform on your success. Maybe I will see the doctor if your treatments are successful.

Price on request?? I know that the initial consultation is free if you contact through Twitter, FB or the web. If I write a letter for my patient saying they need a to see a specialist, the insurance normally accept this. Please let me know how i can contact you.

As I said; I have mentioned it before and was met with abuse that I was trying promote and that is not the case. that is why I only listed the site. so as not to get embroiled in conflict. Clearly that did not work :) I see at least 4 patients a week suffering this condition and I always refer them on; selfishly sometimes as hair loss patients demand a lot of time, counselling and understanding. I simply do not have time or the expertise required for that, that is why trichologists are invaluable to me. Not only do they diagnose, they counsel and point in the right direction to get the correct help required, ie, endocrinologist, dermatologist, gynaecologist... As you get ticked off.. I get ticked off at people recommending a shampoo or snake oil treatment. Female hair is not normal and you do not have to suffer with it!

I have no personal interest or association! I have been in the medical profession for over 20 years and worked closely with Trichologists in the UK. I value their expertise greatly. I have mentioned this on this site before and I have been lambasted for promoting an individual (which I am not). I am trying to make people aware that there is real help out there for this very distressing condition. If there were 5 trichologists that were qualified, and by that I mean properly qualified with a recognised institution, I would mention them in the same vain. There is however only one, that I can find (please advise of others), therefore that is who I mention. We as doctors and dermatologists are not as knowledgeable about this highly specialised subject as these para medical specialists. Everyone on here is an expert on hair loss because they suffered it, tried a remedy and it worked! Female hair loss is a very complex issue and there is not one cure for all types. There are approximately 50, yes 5 0 different reasons why a female from 13 - 70 will suffer! I am now at the end of my tether with this site, I have only tried to help and advise. I withdraw. B

Lots of info available here.. www.dubaihairdoctor.com

Hi. Male pattern balding is a symptom of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It affects about 10% of the female population but is not diagnosed very often. Have a look at the internet as (certainly in my case) I found out more information there than my doctor was able to offer.

I just wanted to share my positive experience with Dr. Ali Tukmechy. I'm eternally grateful to the ones who initially recommended him to me. I'm still living in Denmark but have been shedding like crazy the last many months. Needless to say, I can't even blame Dubai's water for this since it also happens when I'm in Denmark and not just during visits to Dubai. Blood tests from Denmark are fine. I've tried Nizoral, 'The Hair Clinic' and waiting for months to see useless dermatologists in Denmark who don't even bother to REALLY check my scalp. Lately I've been getting really strong allergic reactions to most shampoos, including Nizoral. The only 'shampoo' I've been able to use is the Arabic/Syrian Aleppo soap called 'al ghar' that I buy here in Denmark in Arabic supermarkets. I don't know why I haven't found this soap in Dubai yet. Dr. Ali is the first dermatologist ever who didn't make me feel that I was complaining about hair loss for no reason (unlike Danish doctors). He took a REALLY long time checking my scalp and told me to get the anti-dandruff shampoo they sell in pharmacies. It's a blue bottle called Seba-something. It contains the same as Nizoral but doesn't dry the hair (read: ruin!) as Nizoral. He also prescribed some other vitamins and some capsules to use twice a week. So far I've only been using the shampoo and I'm so pleased with the results already. In fact, I went to a (useless) Danish dermatologist yesterday since I had been waiting two months for that appointment. He told me my scalp looked healthy, but I really doubt that I've already recovered from that 'severe deep dandruff' condition Dr. Tukmechy diagnosed me with. My point is that if Dr. Tukmechy could help me after various doctors, dermatologists, "The Hair Clinic" (Danish branch, not the one on Beach Road), I think he's worth a visit for others. I hope my scalp continues improving. I'm still shedding a lot, but it's definitely less than before. If I ever have ANY issue again, I'll go back to him, for sure. I just totally liked his approach and thoroughness and the fact that he didn't think I was hysterical. I wish all dermatologists had this professionalism. Yeah, I'm a fan. Obviously I've stocked the anti-dandruff shampoo and hope to have enough supplies until my next visit to Dubai.

Go and see a Trichologist, they are the hair loss experts. Do not take any advice from others as hair loss can have many causes and its not the same for everyone, you do not need to be anaemic to have low iron example. Mr Ryan at Hair spa Dubai is a board certified Trichologist.

I went to Dermacare, I had injections in the scalp (ouchy ouchy!) but they do seem to have worked...guess the cause of the hairloss is key, but may be worth going there and seeing what Dr Nasir has to say...

Hi GA, You surely are not alone. I suffer from really bad hair loss myself. Been to so many doctors but no luck. Please do let us know of the progress you make. Will help us all here. Good luck Hair loss is often a sign of another underlying condition. Hair Loss is a symptom of that condition. Have you had a complete blood test done. B12 deficiency, and Anemia can cause hair loss. Whats your diet like? lots of fruit and vegetables? lots of greens for minerals? less fat, too much fat in the diet can cause hair loss.

Hi GirlAnachronism, I'm having the same problem here (and I am a muhajaba, too)! I'm really curious to know what happened in your case. Any progress?
