...loss? From a female baby boomer with a normal thyroid function, generally in good health. I do not want to go with Rogaine-type products since you must take them forever and I've read that they only work on the crown.

Apply a mask made from two spoons of olive oil and an egg (only the yellow part) once a week. Keep it for 30 minutes. Stress plays a major part in hair loss, but there could be other causes too like: birth control pills, lack of vitamins etc. I am reluctant to treatments with pills, as they can affect the liver.
