Advice on Hair Loss??

Hello, I am concerned about hair loss. My hair is already thin and I can't affored to loose anymore. My surgeons office told me about an over the counter vitamin called Biotin. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Or do you have any other advice on preventing hair loss. Thank You, Heather

Dear Heather, So far I haven't noticed anymore hair loss than normal, thankfully. But I have heard that it is very common, especially around the 3 or 4 month. I have also read, somewhere, that Biotin is very helpful. Good Luck, Mary M.

Heather...I take 5000mcg of Biotin a Day...I still have noticed my hair thinning! It is just inevitable with some of us...but the hair does grow back...sorry that I can't be more helpful.

I was taking biotin but the nutritionist told me to take a "super b complex" vitamin instead. that way all the b vitamins are covered..except i still have to take the sublingual b12. i haven't noticed any more hair loss than normal yet either. i thought i was losing more but my husband so nicely reminded me that i have always lost a lot of hair on a daily basis.

Hi Heather, I was told it's basically gonna happen regardless what you take. I have a comb full comin out everyday and it's thin. As a "sista" I am grateful to the community who invented weave pieces and hair braiding. I just go to get my hair deep conditioned every week to keep what lil bit from getting thinner and pony tail my hair and slap a piece on it. It will grow back.......at least I keep telling myself that. Saida

Amen to that!!! Thank God the wigs also work out and they really look way better than they used to look years ago. You can really "fly girl" it up!!! Beverly

I know what you mean about hair loss. I am in my 3rd month out and am starting to lose a LOT of hair. I have waist long hair so it is really noticable hair all over the place. I wi**** would stop now or wondering if I should be saving all that is falling out for a wig (Ha, Ha). Take Care Cheryl
