I'd start by taking a good look at your diet. Do you eat mostly processed foods? Do you eat a lot of fast food? Drink pop every day?
Try eating meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy made from scratch. I.E. Eating a piece of salmon or a steak, not a fast food hamburger or fish sticks. Make a salad. Eat a piece of fruit. But some real cheese, not processed stuff. I'd bet you see an improvement.
Good luck! Hope you find the solution.

It sounds like a hormone imbalance. Testosterone is the usual culprit.. You might be producing to much during your cycle, and it stops hair growth. It might be worth looking into one of the oils that mimics ostrogen.. And rubbing some in topicaly. Usualy in females the adrenals produce testosterone. Especialy after menopause. I hope this helps.Replied by Debbie (Melbourne , Australia) on 06/22/2011

ALOPECIA: Genetic factors aside, zinc deficiency is known to cause alopecia (hair loss) in animals. I think vitamin E and the essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acid are also important. I stopped my own hair from thinning by taking lecithin, high doses of the B-complex, and zinc".
Also multiminerals may help and large doses of Vitamin C.
This may be a good start anyway.
