Hair cut after hair loss



Recommended Posts

I noticed a lot of people cut their hair shorter once Hair loss was noticed. I've washed my hair twice this week (i usually only wash my hair 1-2 times a week) and both times I've had huge hair balls.

Did you cut your hair if not did it look bad balder and thinner and if you did was it better?

10/30 I don't feel bold yet but it's been a lot. After the shower I loose chunks and through out the day it's a strand here and there.

The first one is when I first noticed and the second one was last night. I thought it was because my hair is always up but I don't think so anymore.

different parts of the year I shed at least that much, and I have not had the surgery yet. That looks almost normal to me. I doubt I go short. It took me 4 years to grow out a pixie cut, and I'll never do that again! But I have no idea what I will look like thinner, so I may consider bangs or a nice layered cut, but keep the length. My friends who have had the surgery say their hair did thin some, but not enough for anyone but them to notice.

I have been taking Biotin daily and I have had NO hair loss. The reason we loose the hair is because we are not getting the correct amount of nutrients anymore. The more Protein you eat, the better for your hair though.

Try the Biotin, really does work. I take a dosage of 10,000 mg I think it is.

I get in 80-90 worth of Protein and I've been taking a biotin for about a month now.

I was sure to get in protein because I have the typical thick Hispanic hair that I didn't want to loose. But again my hair is always up and I have to put hairspray in it so I feel like it might be the pony tail but I'm not sure. My boyfriend says he finds my hair more often tho. It's a mystery!

I shed quite a bit of hair between 3-6 months. The good news is it is all started growing back around month 7. I kept up with my Protein, which is the most important and took Biotin. I changed hair stylists recently and she commented about all of my "newer growth" that is about ear level.

I started Biotin 4 years ago when I started growing out my hair and I have not missed a day. That and zinc. I'm not too worried. If it sheds, it sheds. It will grow back in while I am getting healthy!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
