hair loss increasing

Ok, I started losing my hair at about the 3.5 month mark but nothing compares to how much it's coming out now a month later. HOLY COW. I have thin fine hair to begin with so I'm stressing. I know I'm not getting as much water and protein as I should but I try my hardest every day. I'm getting maybe 40 oz of water a day and 50-60 grams of protein. Yet I've heard from people who get all their water and protein in and still lose a lot of hair so who knows. It's very visible when it's wet, you can see my scalp much more but when I blow dry and curl I dont think its super noticble to others but I can tell, I'm just worried at this pace I'll be bald. How long will this last?

I don't know how long it lasts but I'm having the same problem.

I'm having the same problem. This last week I have been totally stressing about it because the hair loss seems to be increasing. It sucks because I have really long hair and I love it. I really don't want to have it cut. My surgen said the hair loss usually stops at around 8 months post op and all you can do is try to keep your protein up. I started taking silica complex at the suggestion of someone on here, but have not noticed a difference. I keep dreaming about losing my hair! Sorry I can't be much help.

Same thing here. My doc says take zinc it may help and try the biotin or one of those other shampoos they even said something about a pantene product. Tammy O

the hair loss sucks and I feel as tho it's coming out by the handful. It seems to be getting worse as time goes on...My surgeon said that it will/should stop sometime around 8 months post-op. I have my fingers crossed because right now it's stressing me out! Linda

Hi Right there with ya.I called my nut about this and she said the only thing that might help is getting more esstenial(spelling?)fatty acids like 2tablesppons of olive oil on your veggies or salad or canola oil.I am trying that right now.I also have fine thin hair and the loss scares me.I just hope it all grows back!

I started losing hair at about 3 months and now it is really coming out. I am lucky that I had very thick hair. I get about 60 grams of protein a day, I am taking Biotin and usiing Nioxin. None of it has helped. I understand what you are going through. Sorry I can't be of much help.

Me too...Sorry not to be a help, just wanted you to know you're not alone. I am so worried! My hair was thick but not now! My kids have confessed that they notice it now, my part in from is getting wider, hair at crown is thinner. SO upsetting, I don't want to look like a freak. I don't know what to do. Right now, I'm just doing strategic brushing. I really want to dye it too, because it has lost all of it's luster, but know they may make the rest of it fall out. Take care everyone. I still think it's worth it, don't you?? Kelly

Kelly my daughter dyed mine and the tub was full. Her gloves was full of hair. I thought it was over and no it is not. Mine is also alot in the crown. I cant curl my hair at all. It is so flat. Lets pray this is comming to a end Barb

Okay, everyone is freaking me out about this hair loss thing. I am scheduled to have surgery 2/8 and this is one of the items I'm most nervous about. Does it happen to everyone and what usually causes it and is there anything you can take to prevent it. I have been told lack of protein.
