Hair Loss Solution

[chicagochic 73]

Big topic but I can just tell you for me' date=' I was 4 months out before I noticed the Hair loss and then I was freaking out; didn't want to comb it, didn't want to wash it, started looking for wigs, and was generally pissed. I had been taking Biotin for months; then on the advice of my Naturapath Dr. I started taking Luminous and bought some Shampoo with Biotin in it made for thinning hair. Not sure what did the trick, but the important thing is that the period of it being super fragile was only about 2 weeks. I am now 6 months post op and my hair is starting to return to normal. I haven't dyed it since a month before surgery and am thinking I may take the leap here soon to hide some of the gray coming in. Here I am finally looking younger because of my weight loss, I don't want gray hair getting in my way!!!![/quote']

What is luminous?

I've had Hair loss for a few years now before surgery, so I'm losing it now, I'm not sure if it's due to the surgery or just regular how it's been for a few years. I should have done to the doctor about it last year when I actually had insurance. I always thought it was because I had PCOS (I have the thinning hair symptoms, facial hair, weight, dark skin Patches, and I didn't have a period, I've had one regular now since surgery) but when I had my labs done by my PCP last year they said I didn't have PCOS, so I have no idea what's going on lol. Anyways I'm willing to try anything that might help, I've just been taking Biotin.< /p>

Sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone.

Have you had your thyroid checked?

Have you had your thyroid checked?

I thought I didnt, but I was mentioning this to my mom earlier (shes a RN) and she told me she said she remembered I did have it checked out and they said it was fine (she has thyroid issues and is on medication) Im thinking about maybe getting it checked out again, I dont have insurance so I hope it doesnt cost to much.

Im going to head to Better Health later and get some of that BioSil, from the reviews I read online it seems to work? Its worth a try, I think its only about $20, I'll let you all know how it works out for me, I know things work differently for people.

I have lost more than half my hair - which thank g-d was thick to start with. I am almost a year out, have reached my goal and an still loing hair. I am thinking of hair extension just to make it thicker looking.

Feeling a little vain though, maybe I shouldn't!

I have been losing hair at a very slow rate for five months....I take Biotin and use Nioxin Shampoo, however, I have never been able to get in the recommended 60-80 gr. of Protein a day. So my question is....will my hair continue to fall out until I DO get that much protein in OR will my body EVENTUALLY adjust to my new diet? I'm 10 months post-op....and honestly it's not severe Hair loss, only I can tell, but sometimes I wonder how I can possibly have any hair, having been losing for FIVE MONTHS!!

It's so upsetting...I wonder if this continues, people will start noticing and that makes me panic!!

Any ideas??

The regular use of extensions causes hair breakage and loss. If you're worried about your hair looking thin, you're better off cutting it short.
