Has anyone else's hair changed?
Purple Passion
Hi! Well I have heard of this actually but I do not have any scientfic info on why it is so!? I know with any form of stringent dieting we can lose hair and it will regrow, mine actually grows more and fuller than it used to due to all the protein I think I get? I'd love to see what others experience and or if anyone has some literature on this!

OH GOD YES!!! And I am nervous about it!! I know it's just hair & it'll grow back but it is bothering me!! I washed it yesterday afternoon & let it dry & I could see way too much scalp thank you very much!!!!
My hairdresser says the texture has changed & I think it's even curlier now!! They've also told me it's worse to me than it really is... yeah, ok!! I've always had straight hair & I got a perm during the summer but it seems curlier... maybe it's just me!!! We are trying to keep it very healthy - limiting the amount of heat I put to it & going to the salon every 4 wks instead of 5-6!!!! My dr told me to start taking biotin - it will help with the re-growth!!! I'll take anything!! They also said that some people believe it's from the surgery/anesthesia or from the protein deficiency but they don't know for sure!!! Anyway - I can hide rolls of excess skin with clothing but this girl doesn't wear hats & I can't hide this!!!


Hi Cece,
I do get lots of protein on most days. I do feel it's important to eat a balanced diet high in protein. I do wonder if this has made a difference with my hair.
The little bit I did lose a few months back...you can't even tell. My hair looks and feels much thicker and fuller than it did prior to surgery. Perhaps it will be the same for you?
