The Hair Doctor - March 1999
Your questions answered
John Mason, President of The Institute of Trichologists (the study and treatment of
hair and scalp disorders), replies to readers' queries.
Wishful Thinking
I'm a lady of 82 and my hair is fine and thin. Can you tell me how to make it grow?
I rub in almond oil but this has no effect.
As we get older, changes take place gradually in the follicles and the hair gets finer.
At your age, this is natural and almost certainly irreversible.
It's a very lucky person who doesn't have some degree of hair loss
at your age.
I am not going to recommend any complicated course of treatment because it would be both unrewarding and a waste of money. Also, forget the almond oil.
If you're really upset by your appearance, there's a cosmetic hair spray called Mane. It comes in several shades to match your natural colour and will disguise your hair loss to
an unbelievable degree.
It will thicken individual hairs and virtually hide any bare patches. It really is very effective. Your hairdresser
should be able to tell you where to obtain it.
