Hair Loss??

I knew to expect hair loss, but for the last few weeks everytime I wash my hair I loose enough to style a Barbie doll. Luckly I had a really thick head of very fine hair. I have been loosing so much, it is so thin now I am afraid I will soon need a wig. Every time I even brush, the brush is full, and if I run my fingers through my hair I get a 15 - 20 hairs. Are you all experiencing this? Any cures or idea how long this will last? Does anybody go completely bald?

I am experiencing this big time. I'm grateful for a thick head of hair as well. When I had my tubes tied after having my last baby I had the same thing happen. It lasted for about a month. My hair was just thinner, never any bald spots and it got thick again. Some people say taking extra biotin will help with the hair loss. I don't know though, my protein drink has it in it and I'm still shedding like crazy. I hate it too because we are trying to sell our house and everytime I brush my hair my white bathroom needs to be vacuumed! So, going through it with you, hopefully it will end soon for both of us!

Is biotin something that you can get separately from a health food store? I haven't noticed any hair loss as of yet, but I'm told that this is about the time that it starts to come out.

Yes you can get it at the health food stores of the vitamin stores. They have some that's liquid you just add a few drops to a drink and take it. Some people don't loose their hair, maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones! Jen

Thanks, I've got to get some - but I am still keeping my fingers crossed!!

I have very fine hair, but I don't really notice the loss much. Last time I lost a lot of weight the same thing happened. It will pass in about 90 days

I am three months out and I am doing the same thing...fortunately I too have very thick hair...but its kind of annoying too...I got out of my car, light tan seats, dark brown hair all over it! Bathroom floor is covered in my hair every morning...not that fond of vacuuming...lol...looked at my pilow last couple mornings...hair everywhere! I hope this ends soon...I want to keep my hair...

Hi Beverly, I'm almost 3 months out and my hair has begun falling out just this week. Thankfully, not at an alarming rate..just a 8-10 strands a day in the shower. I have very thin/fine hair and I'm hoping it doesn't continue too long or I'll start getting bald spots. I heard about the biotin and I think I will be taking a trip to GNC this weekend. Purrs, Dee~

I wouldn't waste money on biotin, it doesn't help. I give it to my horses to strengthen their hooves. I have found Horsetail (vegetal silica) works really well overall for hair and nails.

My hair was thin before and is now falling out like mad, so I will send you a buy a wig alert......... if I have to get one then you will know to start looking...........LOL.
