As a black woman, when you have your own hair, without weave, it makes you proud. I am scared of losing my crown and glory. How can I minimize the hair loss and still keep it healthy. I use Carol's Daughter products and it keeps my hair healthy and strong. It is A great product and kind of costly but I don't know if it is good enough to stop the hair loss after surgery. I am willing to try anything (withiun reaon of course). Thanks

Unfortunately, I really don't think there is anything that you can do to stop the hair loss.

I'm experiencing loss right now and have been for the past 2 months ~ my only saving grace is that it will grow back.

Keeping protein at 100g or higher and biotin daily stopped my hair loss.  However, it comes right back should I stop either.  I use no special hair products.  Just condition wash regularly and shampoo once a week.  My hair is colored only, no relaxers.

I wish I knew enough to up the protein from the start.  I was given an initial  protein goal of 71-89g daily by my surgeon's office.  Not enough to keep me in hair.

 About four months out (I'm 8 months out now) I started noticing that my hair was coming out as well.  Its still coming out but not as bad. Luckily  my hair is thick so I'm the only one who notices it.  I just have a question, 100g protein daily? How do you get it all in?  I struggle with it and am lucky if I get in 50g per day?

I make it top priority.  Protein foods are most of my diet plus protein powder.  Always protien first, light on the side dishes etc.  I do few carbs normally so sides are light vegie. 

I make a cookie dough with a scoop of protein, a tsp of smart balance lite and a few drops of water.  Make it into three cookies and microwave one minute.  About 25g protien that goes down easy.

If you want a chance a least keep the 100g of protein and biotin going.
I haven't had the time to restart my page again but if you would see what I have let my hair go to.  You will be glad to keep up the protein and biotin.  Last year was the year of seeing to sick parents and I didn't realize what was going on well.  I went from shoulder length hair to 1" of hair.  I've never been the one to worry about hair well now I'm try to find something to promote growth.  I hate these darn wigs now it ball hats and wigs.

Working at getting the rest of the way.
