Hairloss

For those of you experiencing hair loss.... Has it slowed down any? Mine hasn't! Still turning loose! Joy -60 lbs fat + 1 lb hair

Hi Joy -- My hairloss has slowed down a ton! But I've upped my protein and do not miss a single vitamin anymore...once I became religious about monitoring both again my hair loss has pretty much subsided to normal. Lissa

Mine is still falling out too but hey its so short now it really dont matter if i have any at all.. LaRhonda -80

Dear Joy: I have not experienced hair loss yet. 6 weeks prior to surgery and ever since I have taken 2 zinc and 2 biotin daily. My dd had experienced severe hair loss but it stopped after a while and it has grown back frizzy. She has recently started on the zinc and biotin. I finally convinced her that while I could not guarantee that it would improve her hair, it certainly could not hurt. I have also found that my nails are much stronger and growing well for the first time in my life. I hope your hair gows back soon. Louise

Oh my heavens.... my hair is coming out like crazy... still. Luckily I had really, really thick hair, but my scalp shows up like a road map these days. Hopefully soon it'll slow down for us. CP 3/11/04 309/215/150 5' 7" - 36 years old

unfortunatly Joy...No. It is still going strong. How long is this supposed to last? Thankfuly curled hair with body is comming back. It will be easier to fake than the super straight hair. Just a curling iron and a can of hairspray. Leslie

Joy, Mine is still coming out by the handful. I should look like Kojak by the holidays!! I have thick hair so it's not too noticable yet, but I can't imagine what it will look like when the hair that has fallen out starts to grow back in... LOL, Sierra

Joy, Nope...no slowing down here. It's been real bad this 5 month...really, really bad. Thank heavens I had really thick hair to begin with! The stuff that feel out around month 3 is coming back in very curly...ringlets! But soon I'll have a head that look like Gollum (Lord of the Rings) with the add wonder of a new growth of ringlets. I never miss my vitamins and supplements and come very close to my protein requirement if not going over every day. I don't think there's a magic solution to this at all. Va

My hair loss has not slowed at all!!!! I really didn't think that I would mine so much. See I have enough hair for 10 people. However, I have found that I don't care for the hair loss at all. I lose at least 2 handfuls every shower. I shed a ton when I brush and style. Say a prayer for me! Shannon 266/194/140

My loss has eased up slightly but only when I look in the drain. What I lose in the shower every day is light enough to let the water through without clogging now, but when I comb out it still comes out in thick tangles. I still think I should have saved it for a Victorian Hair Weaving project to sell on eBay. Then maybe I could afford a wig! Seriously though, I have noticable loss at my temples...just bizzare to me. I also have new growth underneath that gloms to my head so it looks like I've had chemo or something. Just weird how it is right now. If I wear it back (like in this picture) when you look at me from the side you can see the hair loss. I can't wear it down when it's curly as it looks a mess, but the curls make it poof out more. If I blow dry it straight, you can see the loss regardless. I have been on the verge of shaving it for awhile! (Okay - maybe not shaving...but you know...) Dina
