When my dad started losing his hair, he searched far and wide for anything that would put a stop to it, but unfortunately his over zealousness to halt his hair loss caused him to make a big mistake.  He embarked on one of the worst hair loss treatments possible – he started taking flaxseed oil.  He had read about some study in a magazine that touted flaxseed oil as a miracle treatment that contained elements that would stimulate follicles and help to re grow lost hair.  What the article failed to inform the readers of, was the fact that flaxseed oil leads to the production of quite a bit of estrogen in the body.  Elevated levels of estrogen is one of the major causes contributing to hair loss, so the treatment he whole heartedly dove into was actually causing him to lose his hair faster than he would have if he had done nothing at all.  It’s a shame really, at this point he should just chop it all off and be done with it, but he’s still trying to cling to the scraps and looking more and more ridiculous every day that passes.  I guess some people just have a harder time letting go than others, because if that were me, the hair would have been gone a long time ago.
