Hair Loss For People With Already Thin Hair



Recommended Posts

They have glue dissolver at beauty stores.

You can actually buy clip in tracks, or make your own. They are like $100 but I made my own for under $40. My friend told me about it and there are several youtube videos out that show you how to make them and put them in. You just buy the pack of 100% human hair, thread, a needle, and wig clips. I actually wore mine on Saturday to a wedding. You wash, comb, and style them just like they are your own.

In response to the general thread, I already had thin hair. I'm in my 5th month and am noticing more shedding. The front of my hair is very thin and I can see my scalp when I brush my hair back. I know this is partly because of genetics. I started taking Biotin this week. I hope it reduces the shedding.

you can't really cover the front of you head w/ the tracks, can you? Wouldn't you be able to see them?

No you can't. They do make lace front wigs that make it look like you have a natural hair line. I'm not a wig person but I do own one. It's synthetic though so I can't style it.

My hair was thin before but not too too bad, see more scalp than I'd like for sure. I was really worried when mine started really shedding pretty bad about 3 months out. Now I just made 6 months and it basically stopped falling out over night! Needless to say I'm greatful! I have been taking Biotin and prenatal Vitamins since 3 months BEFORE I had surgery also who knows if it helped or not...I could be way thinner by now I guess.

I've been bald for years. You should all give it a try. The savings on Shampoo and conditioner are no joke.

I couldn't deal with the Hair loss anymore so I chopped it all off. It was so freeing and liberating. I was losing clumps and clumps of hair. Now I can take care of it and nurse it back to health. I put a blend of Jamaican castor oil, avocado oil, coconut and jojoba oil on my scalp every night and I'm already starting to see a difference in my hair growing back. It was the best thing I could have ever done.

I am at month 16/17 and none of my hair has grown back. You can get cheap clip in tracks on ebay. I wear them all the time. I don't do all the clips but just two rows works for me.

This is my second biggest fear. I've heard that it's because of a lack of Protein. I don't know if that's true or not, but I am going to make sure I get enough protein. My surgery is October 26th. I don't think I could wear a wig or use those clips. My hair is naturally curly and in my opinion it is thin right in front. I started taking collagen about 3 weeks ago, but I'm only taking 1/2 of the required dose because the pill are huge. I'm going to have to get a pill crusher to continue to take them after my surgery. Has anyone tried collagen or does anyone know if protein has an effect on Hair loss?

Sometimes (many times) even adequate Protein doesn't prevent it. Our bodies just get shocked from the rapid weight loss and Hair loss is a side effect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
