Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for this.  I have long hair, but it is falling out.  I know I need to eat more protein.  But is there anything else I can do??

I had mine long - when they start falling out - I cut it short.  Looks better (actually it really does) and since they are shorter - there is less pull on them, so less is falling out. 

Also I take biotin, use Niexum shampoo, and make sure I have 80-100 gr protein a day.

Hair loss is normal when you lose weight fast and there isn't much you can do about it. It will grow back in ,but it might take a while for that to happen. I got more than my required amount of protein everyday, took biotin, which made me itch all over for some reason, and  I still use the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. Nothing really made much of a difference so I am just waiting it out and seeing if it will come back in. I am almost two years out and even though I didn't lose alot of hair, mine is still on the thin side. Of course my age might play a part in it too, since hair thins out as you get older. Just  hang in there and make sure you  take your vitamins everyday get in the protein and add the extra biotin, it can't hurt, unless it makes you itch like it did me. I like the Nioxin shampoo even if it doesn't seem to make much of a difference to my hair.

I also got mine cut short when it started falling out.  It takes the weight off of the roots.  I still have some coming out but it is not as bad as before.  Melissa

I had super long hair and it was really falling out. So I got it cut shoulder length( alittle below my shoulders) with layers. I still have some hair loss but not as bad. I know it's hard to see all that hair coming out but it will come back. Mine is coming back in on the top now. I had so much hair no one really noticed the loss. I had to look at this like this. The weight loss is worth a little hair loss to me.  Teresa M.
