I want my shiny hair back !

Take a collagen supplement and try to have your Protein around 100 grams a day. One most of the Hair growth forums you will find that people are making their hair stronger and grow faster by increasing their protein.

John Frieda makes a great glossing treatment that leaves your hair shiny and moisturized for about two weeks after you use it, you can use it as often as you like:

Thank you everyone! I've been taking the Biotin for 7 months now , the hair loss has slowed down but now it's just thin and dry. I get about 60-70 g of Protein so I'm going to try and up that.

@@higher thank you I will try this !!

This is one treatment i swear by and literally the only thing i use other than Shampoo and conditioner.

Put half cup olive oil & quarter coconut oil in a small saucepan, heat it up gently until its just luke warm (not hot, you will fry your scalp)

Put the mixture throughout your hair, scalp included and then wrap your hair in cling wrap (plastic wrap)... leave for as long as you require (i leave it for 1hr)

Then wash as usual.... your hair won't be oily as long as you lather well.

I do this once a week, and everyone comments how beautiful and shiny my hair is...

I have also used egg or mayo for a Protein fix in the past, but i don't need it on my hair.

I know everyone says to take Vitamin B (biotin) for hair and nails, but Vitamins C and E have actually been more effective, at least in my case. I started taking fairly large doses (I am not recommending this for everyone, talk to your doctor!) of both C and E and I have seen profound changes in my skin and my hair. My hair is thicker, stronger and definitely shinier than a year ago. I take a full-spectrum gamma E, 1,200 mg a day in 3 doses and 4,000 mg of Vitamin C in 4 doses.

I found the "ethnic" hair products I use for my daughter are great for keeping in the shine and moisture. Look for items that have a lot of natural oil content. I particularly like the Shea Moisture line.

For something dirt cheap and effective, take a little coconut oil between your palms and then massage it into your hair as a leave-in conditioner. You only need a little bit. It does not make your hair look greasy. Olive oil works well too.

I've been using Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and humectress conditioner on my own hair for the past several years. My hair is shiny, minimal split ends, even after two years without a cut, and behaves fairly well. When I need a little something more, or I want definition without it being crunchy, I dip into the products I bought for my daughter.

      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!
