Hair problems

i had my surgeryback in 4/2004, since then i have had problems. i had major hair loss, that has went away, now it is just very thin and brittle, and it smokes when i blow dry it. I had major thick hair my hole life and this is just yuck!!! I take the pills they told me to for the hair loss, but what about the other problems? Help

Hello! I'm in Festus, too! I'm sorry that you're having such horrible problems with your hair. Are you getting in enough liquids? Sometimes being dehydrated ruins the hair. It's also possible that you're not getting enough good nutrition, even with vitamins. How has your bloodwork been? It sounds like you've already talked to your surgeon or doctor about this, but have you asked a hairdresser? Maybe she/he could recommend a product that is specific to your current hair type or give you a hairstyle that might make it easier to manage (perhaps a style that doesn't require blow drying to look good, which might help it get healthy again). I hope you find a solution soon! Pamela 352/246/150

Hi.....I'm sorta a hair fanatic...I started on all the vitamins....good multiple, biotin, zinc, B12 all 2 or 3 months before I even had surgery. The hair loss still happened like clockwork on the 3rd month. It hasn't been severe and I am not unhappy with how my hair looks. I would advise going to a beautition....a good cut is 75% of the issue....then use some good products. Take your vitamins, do your protein, drink water. Sometimes what I do is alternate cheaper products with the more expensive ones to make them last longer. Let me know how you're doing. Eileen
