Hairloss

[LeaMarie617 6]

I'm really nervous about my hair thinning out. Anyone using any new products they have for hair thinning and is EVERYONe experiencing this issue or is it minimal? I have not had surgery yet but am getting close ... Any advice? Anyone not experiencing it and if those ppl will explain possibly a solution to it?

Not really a solution, sorry to say. mine started thinning about 2 months ago at 4 months. I took Biotin, ate all or most of protien, used special Shampoo & conditioner. nothing has worked. but not sure if it would be worse if i wasnt doing all this.

Look at it this way, its such a small price to pay for a dramatic change in your life. And you dont loose all of it. And it does start coming back around 6 to 12 months.Mine has slowed down.

I was sleeved on July 15th and my hair is/ was my best feature. But after losing my hair after 2 pregnancies I decided the out come of my hair from this operation probably won't be a good one. I had long ... Healthy... Shinny.. Dark auburn hair... And the night before surgery.... I CHOPPED IT OFF!! It was kinda my own way of saying f-u body, I ruined it on my own terms. Lol it's hair, it will grow back.. I plan to start Biotin soon. But in the mean time it helped to know I still had control over this one thing... Good luck!

Keep the Protein up! It WILL help.

I lost hair, but it was only noticeable when I washed it. My hair is really thick. My hair lost stopped the moment I was able to intake 60 gm of Protein daily. While I wasn't counting my protein, that was my daily sign that I didn't get in my required protein the day before. When I counted & increased my protein, hair lost stopped.

I've lost no hair at all. I started the Biotin at about 4 weeks, I take my Vitamins, and I don't bother with how much Protein I've eaten in a day. I do try and eat the protein on my plate first but I don't count any grams, calories, or anything else. I'm not sure if the Biotin is the reason I am not losing hair but I guess it doesn't hurt.

My doctor said to keep the Protein high..that is the biggest factor. I have had problems keeping my Protein up, so I did start losing hair around 3 months. I am almost 6 months now and I have noticed that my hair has almost stopped falling out. I'm so happy. It looked kind of bad for a few weeks but I'm noticing some regrowth now and I'm using Pantene Volume Shampoo and conditioner for fine hair and it seems to be helping my hair to seem fuller.

I've been taking Biotin too, lately. I heard that it won't keep your hair from falling out but it will help with regrowth.

Another thing, never stop taking your Vitamins. I didn't take mine for about 3 months and that probably contributed to the hair falling out. I starting feeling like crap too.

I wish you the best of luck... losing hair is temporary though. The hair will come back relatively quickly and you will be thinner and healthier. So, to me, it's a pretty good trade out. :-)
