Hair Regrowth?

[ladylaura 77]

How long did it take you to start to see your hair grow back? I'm a little over 4 months out and it's been falling out in globs I already had thinning hair and now it's worse. I take 10,000 mg of Biotin daily, and bought that "Wet" brush people talked about (good brush, btw! lol)...but...still nothing. How long does it normally take? Anybody know?

I'm so glad you asked this question! I am also almost 4 months out and I can't believe the amount of hair I am loosing. Literally handfuls when I wash my hair.

I am not sure on that, still pre-op, but I got Shampoo at CVS called "Bioton & Collegen" its in a dark purple plastic round fat bottle with a big gold cap. I think it is put out by "Organix" or a name close to that...It was around 5.00..my hair is nice & thick now, it does work for me...preparing for the loss...Good Luck!

When I was going through chemo, I lost about 2/3 of my hair. Mostly all in one day. Here are some tricks that I used that seemed to help.

10,000 Biotin every day.

Do not comb or brush your hair. Finger comb.

Do not use any heated appliances on your hair. No blow dryers, no curling irons, etc.

Do not have any treatments added to your hair. No straightening, no coloring or perming.

Get some Aloe Vera juice and spray your scalp with it at least once a day. It conditions the scalp.

No hats. No barrettes. Nothing that is likely to pull at your hair.

Hope that helps!

I started losing hair around the 3 month mark and I noticed regrowth around the 6 - 7 month mark.

Oh man, I can't imagine not coloring my hair LOL Ugh. But..anything that may help I guess Thanks for the suggestions!

6-7 months out I can see regrowth? Not too much longer! I just hope it's not a ton more hair gone before then lol

I actually still colored my hair during the 'loss' period and it was fine. I just touched up the roots. There is NO WAY I was going without coloring lol.

I am not there yet but I am going to get hair extensions to help the regrowth. I am staying a away from heat. I was going to colored hair but decided to get weave instead

Our hair is so fragile during this time. Not only falls out but also breaks really easily. You may want to hold off on the extensions until after this phase
