Hair Loss

Am I the only one on the Dec board who has or is still experiencing hair loss? The rest of you have such beautiful hair and do not look like you have lost any. I have always had long hair, but had to cut it to because so much was falling out. Now i was was wanting to grow it out again and realized that I still had very thin spots and even bald spots. I really cannot grow it out with those spots still. Too hard to hide. So as you can see I have a very short cut now. Has anyone else on here experienced hair loss and if so is it growing back yet? ~ Terisa

My hair loss stopped a few months ago. Are you taking anything to help with the re-growth? I take biotion and I think it helps. Give it a try!!!

I was on 5000 mcg of biotin and at my 13 month dr appt my nurse switched me to a bcomplex. It has not gotten worse since starting the bcomplex. It is the same. I am not really losing anymore, but certainly not getting any back.

Terisa, I'm sorry this is still troubling you. Wish I could show some solidarity with you but my hair loss was from months 3-6 and was growing back pretty well by the 9th month. I'd say that now you can't even tell. My hair was always obscenely thick anyway so it was never noticeable to anybody but me and my hairdresser. Hope yours will stop falling out and get busy growing again. Are you able to eat more still? When I had read about you eating more awhile back I had hoped that problems like this would end for you. hugs! Molly

Hi Molly - After my 3 child Beth was born I was pregnant again 8 weeks later. My hair was falling out like crazy and I had a few really bad bald spots. Those barely came back after taking prenatals and no longer being pregnant. He is 2.5 years old now and that still has not come back. Now after surgery I of course experienced it again. In addition to losing it a lot of it was breaking. so, what I did have was short. It is all mainly in the front on top. I think I am done losing it now, just was hoping that by now it would start growing back, but my hair never seems to recover after loss. Mine has always been very thin. I do eat right now and no more problems with starvation or not eating enough. I get in about 1000 cal a day so I really do not think this is the problem. I am on bcomplex now instead of the biotion. Maybe I will take a biotion in addition to the bcomplex. You have beautiful think hair....love it! I am too jealous ~ Terisa

Hi, T... Me too... hair all over the floor... I am taking 2 Biotins so maybe it will stop... Ro

I just remembered that my Nut said to make sure you are eating enough protein b/c it also hepls with the hair loss and re-growth.

Mine happened about the 4th and 5th month then stopped, now I have extentions for length, but it is coming in pretty full now. Still taking biotin too!! Good luck hun.....Erin
