Hearing A Lot About Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

I have been reading a lot about people losing hair and that makes me very nervous. I had 2 car accidents in the past and had lots of injections. Due to that my hair started thinning. Now my hair in the front is pretty thin ( thankfully I don't look bald and It's not super noticeable ) but I am very insecure about it. What can I do/take now or after surgery to not lose hair? Thanks in advance!

My healthcare provider's advice:

Get at least 60 gms Protein daily

Have Vitamin B levels checked

Have Vitamin D3 levels checked

Have complete thyroid panel done

I am sad to say that their isn't very much that you can do but wait. Everyone's hair reacts differently, and some people don't lose any. I wasn't one of those people. I eventually had to cut it all off, and just wait for it to grow back. It took about year, but it is coming back thicker than before.

P.S. I lost 70 pounds, and I think the Hair loss was worth it. If I had a chose to do it again, I would.

I am taking 5000mcg of Biotin to try and help but I'm still losing some hair. Not anything drastic, no balding but i can tell a difference in the thickness of my hair. Hoping that as time goes it'll grow back

I have lost almost half of my hair thickness/pony tail bands tell all..since, May banding. All labs were fine. The end of July started Andrew Lessmans healthy hair,skin and nails. I slowed up on the amount of loss within a week, and now i can feel teeny regrowth. I was super shocked by the amount. I wish someone had told me about this prior. I had been taking a very expensive Biotin vit d3 and get B 12 shots monthly (have my whole life) but Not until i added this suppliment has my hair Ever been so healthy. I also take the essential 1, flaxseed oil 2Tbsp. Daily..but the last suppliment i added WORKed! At last. I open (all) capsules into cinn. Applesauce No problems if taken with a meal. Good luck! The sooner you address it the better it will go!

Wow, this makes me so nervous. My hair is thin already! Well, i went out and bought Biotin 10,000mg 1x day. I am getting a lot of Protein in too. Haven't had surgery yet. What is flaxseed oil for? What is essential 1? Just tell me what to take and i will get it all! LOL

Andrew lessman healthy hair, skin and hails 2 per day, Essential 1 (by the same person) HSN or his web ProCaps (i have contacted them about opening these capsules and they assured me it was safe and would not effect the affectiveness) i use Organic Flaxseed (walmart by Vitamin section) for one type of Omega 3s i also use a chewable fish oil omega 3s come from both nuts and fish each having their own benefits, i gradually increased the flaxserd started at a teaspoon am pm, and increased over a week til i was at 1 tablespoon am and 1 tbsp. Pm, dont cook with it, just plain is fine or in a shake oatmeal or whatever (tad bit buttery abit nutty) i honestly did all of these after spending big bucks on a naturpathy md visit. Hope it helps! Regrowth was slow, but i was glad the loss slowed first, then stopped.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
