Hair falling out!

[JLNorris]

Just recently noticed my hair falling out more than usual. Is there anything I need to be doing?

From what I can gather from studying this forum on the subject of hair loss, the recommended treatments include use of Biotin and making sure that your protein intake is kept up to the required level. There are mixed reviews where the Biotin is concerned. Some say it works and others say it doesn't. I have suffered hair loss as well and have just made sure that the protein in my daily diet is correct, nothing more. I now seemed to have stopped losing and if all is well, I should notice some regrowth any day now. Don't worry, it will grow back, but in the meantime it is horrible isn't it?

Get the biotin vitamins and keep it conditioned and moisturized, I just starting seeing hair loss at 4 months for only a month, then it thickened up month 5, I hear it gets better.....I sure feel better and look sexy again...back down to a 16. I was in a 22/24 in April day of surgery, this sleeve is amazing...

Make sure you are taking good vitamins and getting adequate protein. If you are there isnt much to do but ride it out. I cut my hair in a shorter style. I also found a large barrel curling iron brush that gave my hair more a lot more body and disguised the thinning. It slowed about 10 months out for me. I read where others stop losing hair sooner. Lets hope you are one of those. My hair is getting much thicker again now. It will get better!

I'm at one year out and I'm losing hair like crazy. I did the Biotin thing and didn't work. It isn't slowing and has been like this for about 5 months atleast.

I use the Hairfinity vitamins and love them, I havent had the surgery yet, but they keep my hair nice and full and it grows very quickly!

My hair started falling out at my 3 months and now I'm in my 4th month, it is horrible. I have been on biotin since before surgery and take my vitamins religiously. I started Nioxin shampoo regimen this week and will be cutting my hair quite short on Saturday. I know I get 70-85 g protein on average daily, so I'm getting plenty of that. I just have to ride it out and pray that it stops soon. Just a side effect of the amazing weight loss that I have to suck up and deal with.

I'm 3 months out, hair loss just started. I've been taking biotin and eating good protein. I think it's just part of the process, but I hope it doesn't get worse!

[JLNorris]

Yes it is! I'll keep a closer watch on my protien and make sure I'm getting enough. Bioton not sure if it's working in my case. Keep taking it until it's gone. Don't like wasting money. Otherwise everything else is fine. How about you?

[JLNorris]

I'm beginning to think so as well. I'll finish up the bottle of Bioton and watch my protien intake closer. I have very little support since I'm driving cross country. It's awesome to have this membership and find people who understands what I'm going through. Thank you!

[JLNorris]

Awesome competition with the hubby! Heard on FB that vit E is to help but before I buy a bottle will do some research on it. If it helps will pass it on. Thank you for sharing!

[JLNorris]

By the way we have close to the same hair color! It's beautiful.

Thank you where can we purchase it?

[JLNorris]

I'm going to try Hairfinity vit and see what that does . I'm taking Bioton now but so far still losing hair. If I find something that works ill list it on my space here.

Thank you for the encouragement! Great idea on curling iron and brush. Will get them when I get stopped for a day or so.
