Happy Sunday

I know that Hair loss differs from person to person. I'm hoping not to have to much hair loss. With that being said, I'm thinking keeping pressure of my hair like ponytails,weaves, and long extended breads will help.

What are some methods others use also how long did the transition last?

I wear my hair up A LOT because of work and because my hair is super thick and long and it gets hot during the summer. My moms is the same way but she is now going bald on the sides of her head from her pulling it back all these years. I think putting pressure on your hair would help it come out more than stay in...its like pulling your hair vs not touching it....if u pull your hair some is gonna come out, if u dont..it won't. Brushing stimulates your hair follicles and actually helps your hair. You can use Vitamins, oils, etc to help also. Just don't be ripping a brush through knotted tangled hair. Make sure its DRY and knot free. Its never good to brush wet hair. Your hair shaft fills with Water and makes it stretchy and when you brush it, it causes it to snap and break.

A lot of people have said Biotin helps, some have taken it and it hasn't made a difference. I'd take what u can and if u need too you can always use a hair wrap/scarf if your having a "screw it" kind of day ????

Do you know anything about keratin treatments?

I use them on my hair after I bleached it a lot (my hair used to be bright red) and it made a world of difference. Also a cheap alternative is organic unrefined coconut oil. I've used that a lot and works well also. You can find that in the baking isle at Walmart.

I take Biotin, use Jamaican Black castor oil and emu oil. My edges in the front are thinning and have been since around mnth 7. I can mostly hide it with scarves or pin up styles. I keep my Protein at 100gms or more. I'm probably going to try collagen and maybe magnesium to see if that helps. The rest of my hair is great. Still thick and healthy. I have bra strap length dredlocs so I don't plan on cutting my hair.< /p>

I'm praying I won't have any. I'm just going to eat that Protein, take lots of Biotin, and remind myself that it's temporary if/when it happens. I'll do updos or something.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
