What The Hairloss Looks Like...



Recommended Posts

This scares me so much! Already have thin hair <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> does it grow back?

Someone posted a really good article on here about the Hair loss Cycle... You should search it . The hair grows right back...

I only just noticed my hair falling out. It was slow at first but it seems like it's more and more now. Thankfully I had a TON of hair, it was just fine so it never looked like I had that much. I have started taking Biotin everyday. I can already tell a difference in my nails (I'm a biter, bad habit) so hopefully it's helping my hair too.

I know it's not permanent but I really hate losing my hair.

I also take Biotin 7500, and I did have hair loss about equal to what Wheetsin is showing. I started losing hair about 3 or 4 months after surgery, and it lasted for a couple of months.

I did a few things to help lessen the Hair loss -- at least how noticeable the loss was to others. I have thick hair and usually thin it, and I stopped doing that for a while. I started washing my hair every other day instead of daily. I had my hair cut a bit shorter since the loss was most noticeable at the ends.

I also stopped coloring my hair for a while. I was worried that the color might accelerate the hair loss. I waited 10 months after my surgery before I colored again.

I spoke a lot to my hairdresser about my options and how bad my hair loss was. I spoke to her almost immediately, and she helped assure me that it was OK. She had some products I could use as well if my hair loss got worse, but I never had to use them.

I color my hair every few months, think I should wait before coloring again?

My Hair loss lasted for a couple months and is now completely resolved. I have shoulder length thinnish hair. The picture on my profile is during the hair loss and as you can see, I'm not balding. I'm on the left BTW. Messed up hair from hiking, but still hairy :-)
