      The biotin CAN make the hair grow back faster but it will not prevent hair shedding. I am told by my NUT that this just happens as the body adjusts to the suddenly lower calorie intake and the rapid weight loss. I make sure I get all my protein in every day which is all you can really do. Some people don't experience the shedding at all and some really do. I am a heavy shedder anyway so I knew this would begin for me at some point. I would rather be skinny than have every strand of hair I currently have. lol I know I will come through this fine, just don't want any clogged drains and vacuums! I already have two dogs that shed lol

      Thanks Ladies for this info. I will just have to wait and see what happens when I get to that point. But at least now I know that it might happen and why. I hope you both get hair back and in the way you like it. I love curly hair and have to curl it each night. So if I did lose any and it came back curly that would be a nice surprise for me. You are both doing great with weight loss. I go tomorrow for my 1 month weigh in of 6 months of the supervised diet. I hope the DR is happy with my weight loss.
