Hair loss!:-(



Recommended Posts

Anyone else having Hair loss problems? My hair used to be so thick and nice and now I am having handful of hair every time I comb through it. And it's really dry and not the same! Anyone have anything they are using for growth?

Right after surgery last year I experienced brittle dry hair, I mean my hair looked fried. Several girls on here swore by this product and I bought it and it saved my hair. It's pricey but worth it. Moroccan oil from Isreal. www.moroccanoil.com Hydration mask. As far as the Hair loss I'm 15 mos out and still losing hair, my hair is so thin now, I just try and get enough Protein in. Hope this helps with your dry hair.

Welcome to the hair loss club lolo. It's very common and I'm one of those who is also battling this problem. As other posters have said, add Biotin to your arsenal of Vitamins, add Protein to your diet....speak with your nutritionist and he/she will help you decide the best way to do that. I also take iron...again per the nutritionist. It's not an overnight cure...my hair is still very thin...but the hair loss has stabilized and I'm hoping it starts to grow back soon.

Donna you're scaring me. 15 months and still losing!? I am 7 months out. My hair started falling out month 4 and its still coming out. As of now i have no bangs left and have to wear a clip to keep what's left back. I had thick hair but it hasn't taken long for it to become very sparse and fuzzy is the best way I can describe it. I have been taking Biotin but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I asked the Dr about it and they just shrugged it off and said "it happens". I am only down 60 pounds and have lost this much weight in the same amount of time before and my hair never fell out, so i don't understand what's making it come out now. If its still coming out the way it is now for 7 more months i won't have any hair left.

My surgeon told me before surgery that if I didn't eat enough Protein daily (enough being 60 to 80 grams) that it would negatively affect my hair and nails. Having thin and fine hair to begin with, I took him seriously! I did experience some loss at around three months post-op and added the Biotin and haven't had any further problems.

I also experienced hair loss and was truly AFRAID at one point of becoming bald. I have always had really thin hair anyway but a good enough amount of it to be happy.

I did all of the above posters suggestions and I started using WEN hair Shampoo. None of these things stopped the loss but my hair became softer and fuller looking. Funny thing is I got soooooo many compliments on my hair during this time. I also wore bangs and had to change my hair style. This went on from month 4-9. My Hair loss has all but stopped now and I have a halo of fuzzy new growth coming in all over.

Just when I thought I was going bald the new growth kicked in.

didn't mean to scare you but yes I'm still thinning to the point I had to change style of haircut, I hate it. I hate my hair now. I take 5000 mcgs of Biotin, take my Vitamins daily and get plenty of Protein so beats me what is going on. Like you my surgeon shrugged it off too. All my bloodwork comes back normal, so I don't know. My hair is healthy and soft but thin and sparse like you said.

This is my biggest fear as well. I started using rogaine for women now so that if it does fall out then hopefully I should have more growing.

Just don't use it in the shower so you don't rinse it down your back and end up growing hair elsewhere!

      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.
