Hair today, gone tomorrow

[SherB 220]

Hello, I am 3 1/2 months out and am losing hair like crazy. I take Biotin, use Nexion Shampoo and conditioner, get all my Protein in, all my Vitamins and use a protein treatment. I have tried just about everything they say to do. Hair coming out by the brush full daily. My hair is thin anyway and I am looking older than heck now. UGH.... Any other suggestions?

I just talked to my hairdresser today about this same thing. She suggested Biotin, which you are already taking. She also advised me to drink a cup of tea with a tablespoon of organic coconut oil and some honey to taste twice a day. She also says that she does a coconut oil hair treatment once a week. Couldn't hurt.

Just think of all the fun you could have with wigs and extensions

@@bobbyswife is correct. Just don't get any sewn in weaves while shedding is taking place; it'll cause severe matting.

I heard somewhere to take 10000 mcg of Biotin. Are you at least getting 5,000? Seems like you are doing everything. Wigs sound like fun!

I am only a week out from surgery but I am actually looking forward to wigs, I have short hair right now and I think it would be so fun to have a longer hair style. Don't know where to start on the wig thing. I have looked online but they look cheap. Any ideas?

It depends on your ethnicity!

Omg, loosing my hair has totally freaked me out. Loosing the pounds on the other hand has made it easier to accept. My job requires me to have my hair pulled up so my ponytail has gotten real small and you can see all the new hairs standing straight up. I'm just hoping they all don't come in gray. Lol. I take all the Vitamins and supplements, get the required Protein in and drink my Water. It's one of those risks we have to deal with.

I've had a lot of falling hair in the 2 months post-op. It was getting scary to see so much come out. After having long hair since my twenties, I decided to go short in the hopes it would slow down the loss. I donated my braid. Here's a little before and after, and the hair I lost...

I am now at 5 months post op, my hair has started leaving. I started with very thick and curly hair.... I'm headed to try the Biotin has anyone else tried and succeeded with anything else.... Very concerned...

@@Jordan861 I'm only two weeks out but my fingers are crossed because I'm 26 years old and would really like to keep my hair...mine too is thick and curly, and I'm using special Shampoo with Biotin and collagen, getting 65g of Protein per day, and taking hair skin and nail Vitamins with biotin daily. I'm also trying to be really careful about combing, trying to be really gentle!

i would stay away from extentions. The extra tension on the hair. ....IMO
