I had some problems from my PCOS... I started taking Biotin has helped so much... my hair isn't thin anymore. Plus I am still Pre-op

I take Biotin daily and have since about 2 months post op. The most important thing is to make sure you get your Protein goal daily. Mine got fairly thin on top, but it's growing back in well now.

I started losing mine about 4 months out...I ended up cutting it really short (my picture is from the day i cut it...it was almost down to my butt)....i bought biotrex i think its called...from the beauty supply store...its for thinning hair. and i take 2 Biotin pills a day. It's a lot thinner than it used to be but i think its coming back a little

My hair is super thin and fine now, it was long and like spiders webs, it would get so knotty and every time I brushed it, I more and more came out. I cut it up to my shoulders and had a keratin treatment. It doesn't get knotty and I don't have to damage what is left by straightening it. Haven't got any tips for avoiding the loss, but the keratin helps with what is left.

The hair loss is caused from excessive estrogen that enters your system from fat cells. I use Clear scalp therapy Shampoo and have lost no hair. But that could also be from losing slow.

Avoid: heated styling tools, sleeping with styling products in your hair, pulling it back, excessive shampooing, products containing too much wax, the list goes on.

I went to Paul Mitchell the School, if any of you have questions on prevention or styling options for thinning hair, pm me.

And remember! It'll grow back eventually!

Hi LizV-I am lucky to have thick hair but at month 4, I am seeing a lot of hair coming out in my comb when I comb or brush it each morning. I'm trying to reduce shampooing abd using styling products to avoid breakage. Question fir you, I've noticed this past week that when I remove an elastic pony tail or clip from holding my hair up all day, my scalp hurts. I've had the feeling before and you can usually rub your scalp and it quickly goes away-but lately it's so painful I can't touch my scalp/hair and it lasts a good 10 minutes. Strange! I wonder if that could be a side affect as well. Your input would be appreciated.

Your scalp is most likely sore from thinning. I know the feeling you're talking about! If you have to wear a pony try to wear it loose. The tension from the elastic can cause a lot of breakage of even healthy hair. An ice pack could help ease the soreness and it keeps the follicles stimulated

Holly...this could be me writing your post! Started 4 months, losing quite a bit. My only saving grace is I have tons of hair to begin with, so now I'm saving money on getting my hair thinned out, which I do twice a year... I should've started the Biotin pre-op like a lot of others did. Oh well, live & learn.

I starting losing a ton at 3 months luckily I started taking Biotin at 2 months and have had a lot of new regrowth despite the loss. My scalp has been sore for about a month and a half. It is much better when I keep it down. I also use the clear scalp Shampoo love it! But have to skip the conditionwr cuz its too much for my hair. I went two weeks ago and had some blnde foils in my dark brown hair and it helps disguise the thin spots perfectly. I continue to take the biotin and have hope from all the spiking hair along my hairline from new growth. Hopefully I am through the worse at 4.5 mnths
