Hair loss

[eliojourney 1]

I got my surgery in October 2022 and the Hair loss is so noticeable now. I’ve been taking my supplements and it won’t stop. Every time I take a shower a whole bunch of hair is lost. I’m at a point where I don’t want to wash my hair anymore. I know it won’t stop it but it’s just so sad.

Will the hair grow back or once it’s gone it’s gone?

It will grow back. I get your frustrations I ran into the same issue. the sides of my head were noticeably thin to me. Now I'm almost more frustrated with all the baby hairs sticking out of my head 😂

it grows back. Hair loss usually lasts about three or four months, so yours should be about over...

I really hope so. Im going to see a doctor next month to look into it because I’m freaked out. When did y’all see a turning point?

Ive had this happen twice in life— after having a baby and second time after loosing a lot of weight on low carb diets— the hair does grow back and it doesnt last forever- take extra good care of your hair in the meantime, and maybe try a thickening Shampoo. Other than that, up your Protein and take Biotin.

Though you are losing hair at a more rapid rate (this is hair you would have lost anyway as part of your usual & natural shedding cycle) your new hair is still growing just at it’s usual rate. Hair grows slowly. It will likely take another month or so before you’ll start to notice short fluffy bits of new hair.

Your hair is dead (only the root is alive much like your nails are dead but the nail bed is alive) & will fall out. Taking supplements won’t bring your hair back to life or stop it falling. All it may do is make your new growth stronger.

Many of us cut our hair shorter as shorter hair tends to be fuller & bouncier. Plus it will take less time for your new growth to catch up to the length of your existing hair.

If your Hair loss is great, try a wig or some temporary extensions (clip-in my be easier & more gentle on your hair than bonded - ask your hairdresser).

I had my surgery in November and my Hair loss is really starting. I’ve been taking a hair skin and nails Vitamin in addition to my regular ones but I just started using the Nioxin set. I figured it can’t hurt and it’s supposed to be pretty helpful and they have color safe options. It’s $55 for the set at Ulta/Amazon but my hairdresser sold it to me what she buys it for ~$25.

It's unfortunately a waiting game right now. The Hair loss is very hard to avoid. As long as you keep up with your Vitamins & Protein, it will eventually stop!

I know how you feel. My hair was on the thin side to begin with. All I can say is make sure to take your Biotin, it helped me to stop shedding hair. My hair doesn't seem to grow as quickly as it used to but it's also not falling out anymore. Just be more gentle on your hair and baby it more. But, I totally understand how you feel about the Hair loss.
