Hair loss

[moniquea 15]

I'm almost 3 months out. Past couple weeks I been losing hair. I have to vacuum my bathroom after every time I do my hair. I am eating all my required Protein and been taking my vitiamins every day for 2 months straight. How long does this last? And if I dye my hair will it fall out more.

I quit processing my hair, took Biotin the placebo, lol, for 1 1/2 years. From five months, and lasting for 1/12 years, my hair fell out, and thinned at my hairline. A great wig got me through it. I now have a healthy head of hair again. I would go easy on curling irons, coloring, and daily shampoos. .hopefully everyone might not lose their hair.

My hairstylist said no highlights but coloring wouldn't hurt it. I haven't taken anything but my regular Vitamins. The great falling out started about 3 months out and was pretty bad. It quit around month 6.

Yikes, my hair grows fast and I have to color my grey almost every month. I do not do highlights. I'm not looking forward to this side affect. 3 months out, I'll be starting European vacation.

Mine fell out from the beginning. I'm 6 months now and it's slowed down and I've got new growth. I colour mine myself every 6 weeks. It hasn't made a difference. I take zinc and selenium supplements and use nioxin Shampoo and conditioner.

The bright side is it grows back. First week I was sad and depressed about it cause it thinned out and I can't style it like before , now I'm excepting that I might have to invest in a wig or hair piece .

Make sure you try the wig on. I learned! I also wore a visor on weekends or going to the store, and went without anything at home. We went on a cruise and the wig was a lifesaver.

I need to find me a cheap wig place

Search! I bought about 4 on the Internet and they are awful. Wasted $.

Same here! I can handle one or the other - gray or thin - but not both!

My hair has started falling out after 3 months post op. My surgeon told me it's the bodies reaction to the change in diet. He said there isn't anything I can do about it but it will eventually stop and grow back.

Almost identical situation here. Started falling out a few weeks post op and at 5 months is still coming out like crazy but o can see some new growth coming in now. I take Biotin religiously!

It's super thin. Used to wrap my elastic band around twice, now I need to do 5 times.
