hair loss????

Has anyone started to loose any hair yet? I have started to get a lot come out in my hands when I shampoo or brush my hair. I'm a hair dresser so when I say I am losing hair I'm not exaggerating Cory

Corina, I have been experiencing thinning of my hair recently. I am told that it happens to all of us and that after about 6 months it will slow down and the hair will grow back...I hope so!

I used to have super thick hair, and now it is like a normal persons. I lost it in clumps a week ago, and I freaked out a bit. I used a trick that I have used since I was a kid. I visuallized my scalp closing tightly around the hair, and holding it in. It seems to be working because I haven't lost any (well, no more than normal) hair loss this week. It's worth a try for you.

Cory, I too have been losing hair, lots of it. My hair is naturally VERY thick, but lately it is looking limp. My ponytail is half it's normal thgickness. I talked to my surgeon about this when I saw himj last week. He told me to do three things. #1 increase protein to 75+g a day, #2 take 1 zinc tablet daily, #3 take 1 biotin tablet daily. He also said that the loss will stop in 3-4 months, but that taking these extra vitamins/nutrients will decrease it. I hope this helps. Steph

I have very thick hair so I always lose a lot when I wash or bru**** However the past few weeks it has been a lot worse. I take biotin and eat oatmeal and get in my protein and vitamins but still losing. I read on another post that a lady took a product called Juice plus and it helped her. Well coincidently I had just signed up to start selling Juice plus (and taking it for myself) when I read this so I was quite excited about it. I've started taking it so I will let you know how it goes if anyone is interested. Juice plus is a great product that helps us get in our fruits and veggies without eating them since we can't possibly eat enough of them. It has the sugar removed so it is safe it's also gluten free. They have a website juice plus .com If you order please use my name Janice Ridgeway and number 918-665-0777 as your representative. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me and I can send you information. It's a great product I just hope it helps with my hair loss.I love my hair.It's the one thing I've always been happy about myself. Janice 258/195/145 my goal

Thanks Y'all, I guess I will just hang in there wait...in the mean time I will concentrate on a tight scalp, up my protein and try the Zink. I went to the Juice+ site and it looks like great stuff...I will use your number Janice when I order. Cory

Oh, yeah comming out in fistfulls! I had thick hair so I don't worry so much. If it gets really bad I will consider cutting my hair, but for now, the loss is tolerable. I have new pictures posted on my profile. Kia 284/209/155 ish

Oh yes loosing lots...was loosing daily prior to surgery when drying and brushing it. I have very long hair and its looking rather wimpy. I made an appt to have it layered on Sat. I hope I'm making the right decision. Been taking 2500 mcg of biotin for years before and after surgery. I was told about 100 days out to expect this so I was prepared mentally but it doesn't make it any easier.

Well I guess it has been about 100 days give or take a few. Having everyone at about the same pace is nice, because I can see I'm normal ...that's why this Feb. board is so good. How is the layering of your hair working? Layering has always been a good way to thin your hair...but sometimes with thick hair it gives you body to layer it. I guess it could go either way.

Hi Corina, Yes the boards have been a way for me to know what is normal so i am not calling the dr every time something new occurs. My hair appt is for Sat. and now that I have to wonder if I should just get a trim rather than layering. Its all pretty much one lenght right now. I colored it today and threw in some highlights so maybe it will feel thickened with the color. I still have wet hair so don't know yet.
