Hair falling out after 2 months!



Recommended Posts

Having some Hair loss after my surgery. What Shampoo and should I continue to color. I do have my hair colored in a salon. I also started taking Biotin. Any suggestions?

I use Ojon reconstructive and thickening Shampoo and conditioner. It's absolutely amazing. I'm 7 months out, starting losing hair by the handful at about 3 months. Suffered with the loss for a couple months before I discovered this. Found it at Ulta. It runs $25 per bottle, but I'm still on my first bottles, so it lasts a while! My hair instantly felt thicker and within a week the Hair loss showed down. Now the loss is non existent! Best find ever!!!

You should definitely stop coloring. I've had to as well, so I know it sucks. It'll be worth it though! Every time you color you're damaging your hair. You want your hair to be as health as possible right now to give it the best chance it can have.

I've been using this Shampoo with Biotin in it, but I know there are much better products out there. There are a ton of forums on this with lots of shampoo info if u search it.

Also, be sure you're taking 10,000mcg of biotin daily & getting your Protein in.

... If that doesn't work, we can be wig sisters! Lol that's my plan.

This is something that I really want people to understand. I'm a certified colorist and someone who has struggled with this. Coloring your hair breaks down the bonds in your hair. If you're covering grey you break down less bonds than if you lighten your hair. Both do some damage. A Demi hair color which contains no ammonia is your safest bet because it doesn't change the structure of hair. That being said, it won't give you 100% grey coverage. Depending on how much melanin is in your hair and what your wanted outcome..it's just all relative.

I noticed Hair loss at about 4 months out. By noticed I mean my hair was everywhere except on my head. As a professional I looked closer into this. One thing I learned and noticed on myself is that I wasn't necessarily losing my hair; it was breaking off. Hair is made primarily of Protein and the lack of protein causes breakage. I immediately started protein treatments (always took biotin) but the only thing that really helped was reducing weight. So.. If you have long hair, consider taking it shorter. It hurts but it stops the breakage from too much weight and not enough protein structure.

If you love your color, continue coloring. Let your stylist know what is going on and they can help. You won't end up bald, trust me. This side effect only lasts about 4 months and it's sooooo worth it.post-247233-14237312600748_thumb.jpg

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
