SimplyFAB 83 Posted June 9, 2013 How long does Hair loss usually last? I'm 5 months post op and have been losing an excessive amount of hair lately :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISleevedIt 380 Posted June 9, 2013 I don't know, but I hope it ends soon. I'm into my 4th month and am losing hair by the handful. I comb it before I wash it and when I comb afterwards, it still comes out by the handful! Fortunately I have a lot of hair. I think I'm the only one that notices my hair isn't as thick as it use to be. I wonder how much more I would be losing if I wasn't taking Biotin Hope your Hair loss stops soon (which could mean mine will stop soon too...hehehe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kee1 0 Posted June 9, 2013 I'm 4 mo out and my hair is doing the same. A friend who had it done last year said she went thru the same thing and it did stop. Guessing this is just a phase we go thru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmoore 6 Posted June 9, 2013 I am 9 weeks post op & started noticing the excessive Hair loss about 2 weeks ago. I heard the hair loss really kicks in about week 8 & continues for a few months. I hope it slows down as my body adjusts. Taking a sublingual b12/biotin from wonder labs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MommyofFive 243 Posted June 9, 2013 I am almost 6 months out and really started noticing Hair loss about a month ago. I got Bosleys Shampoo and conditioner for viably thinning hair and rogaine for woman and my hair feels way thicker. I still notice some hair loss but NOTHING like I was seeing before.

Missy801 0 Posted June 9, 2013 I was told to take chewable folic acid and Biotin to help with Hair loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichiganChic 3,262 Posted June 9, 2013 Mine started coming out around 3.5-4 months, and kept coming out really bad for about a few weeks. I went to a dermatologist, got some cortisone injections and topical, and it slowed way down about 1-2 weeks after that. It's still coming out some, but not bad at all. Mine was not thick before this, but it's really thin now I'm anxious for it to start growing back....I think I see some little hairs growing in, so I'm encouraged!

SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted June 9, 2013 I'm scared to swallow pills! How do you take your Biotin? You can get it in liquid form...just google liquid Biotin.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Francieb 15 Posted June 9, 2013 My surgery isn't until July 2nd. Reading the Hair loss stories kind of freaks me out. I will tell you that I'm a hairdresser, and I've recommended Redken Intraforce hair care for my clients that have thinning hair. I've noticed a remarkable turn around for them. Worth a try. I'm going to order the liquid Biotin ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
