☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted May 15, 2012 i have read some posts recently about hair falling out. please advise.....is there some sort of Vitamin i need to take to help with this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taarific 5 Posted May 15, 2012 I can only speak from experience, but my hair dresser also put in her two cents... When I lost the bulk of my weight, hair did fall out, but not in clumps. I still had hair and kept on coloring and cutting, etc. One thing I have noticed is my hair has become extremely dry. My hairdresser says I need to make sure I'm eating enough nutrients to keep it looking lush. She said she's seen this in many of her clients who go through weight loss surgery. Just make sure you're taking your Vitamins (I"m not good at that...) and using good products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taarific 5 Posted May 16, 2012 What is Biotin? Is it in hair products!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1aman 944 Posted May 16, 2012 Biotin will be in the Vitamin section. It is a little pill. Lots of people take it including myself. Does it actually work? Don't know yet as I just started taking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted May 16, 2012 Biotin, found in the Vitamin dept (a B Vitamin). I get 5000 mg. Look for tick tack size gel caps. Look for buy one get one free sales. I was loosing hair. It seemed to stop once I started taking Biotin not sure if it stopped it or not. Does also help your nails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TarryL 1 Posted May 20, 2012 Biotin is good for your hair and nails. BUT it does cause acne. I couldn't take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustDoIt130 369 Posted May 20, 2012 It's never caused acne for me, and I take 5-7 mgs (or whatever the unit is) of it daily. My nails have never been so strong. It has definitely helped the Hair loss, too. But if I miss a day I notice it in my hair fallout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
