BenisaMartim4 369 Posted September 16, 2012 Mine was to my knees and really thick...now it comes just below my rear and you can see my scalp. It's not growing back yet. Still waiting *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishingNurse 1,211 Posted September 16, 2012 I lost a lot of hair from month 3-8.... I never got a bald spot, I always looked normal. I have almost 2 inches of regrowth at this point, don't worry it grows back!! 2 sarahmoni and samsmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 16, 2012 When does Hair loss start? I am 2.5 months out and am taking in 100+ grams Protein a day. Every few days I run my hand threw the hair, pull on it, but so far it is not budging. Not even a strand. I am not saying I want to lose hair, but am trying to prepare mentally for it. LOL! I have always had really thick hair and no male pattern baldness in my family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mommy2three 12 Posted September 16, 2012 I have started to loose my hair as well :-/ I have super thick curly hair so it really worries me. I also have had a lot of stalls and have not lost what I wanted to by this point. But it is my own fault I was so focused on taking care of my mom and since I lost her I just haven't even tried to follow a diet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euphoria.azul 10 Posted September 17, 2012 It's been 4 months since my surgery ..and just last week I've notice its falling out ..like a lot!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineeeNYC 5 Posted September 17, 2012 My nutritionist said hair thinning/loss can start 3 months out and last for 3 months. Best way to fight it is make sure that you get 60-80 grams of Protein every day. She also recommended biotene supplements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LT1002 138 Posted September 17, 2012 I started losing my hair pretty quickly - about 4-5 weeks out. Dr. thought it was strange, so I went to my PCP who did bloodwork to see if something else was going on (there wasn't). Told to up my Protein, said some people take Biotin, and just wait it out.

Alex14 3 Posted September 18, 2012 Hi there... I had my surgery in Dec. I can honestly say that I have not experienced any Hair loss at all. I can give you some advise, Protein is essential because that's exactly what your hair is protein. Try keeping up with the Protein Shakes and Biotin 5000mcg. I believe strongly that the Biotin has salvaged my hair. Hope this was helpful... Good Luck! 1 samsmom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex14 3 Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Ladydee... The Biotin is a very small gel cap, similar to a Vitamin D or E. When I asked my doctor if I can take it he said yes and I was just a month in as well. Trust me your going to be so happy but be patient it does take a few weeks for you to see the hair growing and getting stronger. Don't be sad it will be fine trust me. Good luck girl. Keep me posted :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex14 3 Posted September 18, 2012 Also Ladydee... Try Beautiful collection semi permanent color advanced gray solution by Clairol until you feel comfortable enough to use your usual hair color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
