Hi Tony,

You could start taking a multi-vitamin supplement or something like
sunflower oil capsules or cod liver oil capsules. These will assist in
hair health. A healthy diet is also important (not that I have a healthy
diet but some people swear by it!) Massage is also pretty good for
getting the circulation going. Massage your scalp with gentle circular
motions with your fingertips (never your nails). Start from the base of
your neck and work your way upwards.

As regards a product that stops loss/promotes growth at the temples - I
honestly can't think of anything. Somebody else in the ng might have
some thoughts.

I wash my hair at least ever two days and usually every day.

As regards shampoos I make my own but probably the easiest thing to do
is to buy a very mild shampoo. Something like a baby shampoo is ideal.
Avoid 2-in-1 products like Wash'n'Go or anything that promises to wash
and condition your hair. Avoid products with Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Avoid most supermarket shampoo's - they're mass market products and are
usually made with the cheapest chemicals the companies can find. How
much crap do you think they have to put into a product to change it's
colour or to add that scent?

Hope this helps a little!
