I posted this question on another forum of OH but I wanted to compare the responses. I would like to hear your hair loss stories and if there are any remedies that you came across to prevent the loss or lessen the loss or your hair.

I lost a ton of hair, I use these hair and nails pills that help me keep what hair I have left, but after surgery when it was falling out nothing stopped it.

So much for my theory...it really does seem to vary.

I didnt loose any hair pre op but lost a lot of it 3 months post op. I wasn't getting enough protein. Then when I increased my protein, the hair started growing back at around 6 mos post op. I still don't have all of my hair back but new hairs are coming in all the time. I'm still hopeful.

Hair loss varies from person to person.

I bought wigs (the little Asian beauty supply store in the hood with the bars on the window and the lookout guy on the elevated platform) and wore them until my hair grew back.  They were cute and cheap.

Stress and not  getting in the right proteins I had to give myself a cut so short I use a brush like my brother'used.  I now have 4 inches of hair .

I have long, fine, curly hair.  I use to have plenty of it.  Now I have no perm and you can see straight through to my scalp in the entire crown of my head (hairline to whirl- I don't know how thin the back is).  I take Biotin 2x per day and 60 g of protien (supplements) plus the protien in my foods.  I also massage my scalp regularly and use good products in my hair.

Bought a 1/2 wig and I can't wear it because you can see straight through my hair.  Bought a lace front a few months ago but it feels strange.  Love the style.  It is the same cut, length and look I wear/wore my hair but I'm not use to the fakey-fakey.  Takes some getting use to.

I feel sad about it.
