Help!! My hair!!

Ok, so I know that my hair is not the most important thing, but come on.  I am losing it by the very large handfulls!!   When will it stop??  I'll probably cut about 12-14 inches off when it stops falling out to make it look thicker, but I can't do much if  I'm bald.    Please help.

Some of the rny'rs have that problem.  My boss had the same thing happen - she suggested taking Biotin. 

I was taking 1000mg biotin. I just upped it to 5000mg.

the biotin doesn't help the hair stop falling out, just makes what is still there grow faster.

you have to up your protein to 150 grams a day and it will stop. won't take more than a week.

150g??? Wow, I have a tough time with 60-70!!  I definitely will try to get higher though. Thanks

and that is why the hair is falling out. not enough protein. lots of protein drinks.

You're at about the right point in time post-op-wise.  I started losing my hair at about 4 months post-op, and it continued for about 3-4 months.  Keep in mind that I had very thin/fine hair to begin with.  I didn't lose what I would call a lot, but it was enough to be noticeable. 

I knew it could happen up front, and I was bound and determined to not stress about it, because stress makes it worse.  It WILL stop and you will NOT be bald.

I assume you have a good stylist?  He/she should be able to give you some recommendations as to a cut/style that may help "hide" it.

In the meantime, check out the Pantene Restoratives line of shampoo/conditioner, and John Frieda's Root Awakening line.

A lot of people have used Biotin supplements (I didn't find that they helped), and there's always Nioxcin, which is pretty $.

Even bald, you'd be REALLY cute!!!!!

Thanks T. I don't actually have a stylist. I cut my own hair, except when I donated it to locks of love 2 yrs ago. I am trying to not blow dry it or use flat irons too much and only wa**** every third day.

I think I will try the John Freida Root stuff. Thanks for the help.  I know that nioxin is expensive, but does it help?

Don't know if the Nioxin works - I didn't want to spend the $!!!

BTW, mine has grown back in better than before, so hang in there!!!
