HAIR LOSS-- I can't believe it's really happening!!!

I know how freaked out you are about the hair loss. I am only a month out and I am already noticing a little more hair in the sink and in the brush. This is not the first time I have ever molted either. I started doing it about three years ago...once a year in the fall and it would last about three-four months. I hate it. I can tell you what I use. I take the NIOXIN RECHARGING COMPLEX vitamins. (I buy them off ebay as they are very expensive in the stores...or see if your hair stylist would pick them up for you at the beauty supply companies that only supply to registered hair dressers). I have a friend at work who had breast cancer and chemo and lost all of her hair. She regrew it and it looks fantastic. I asked what she used and she told me about these vitamins. I tried them and i think they worked well. My bf tried them and swore his hair got thicker (i could tell too). Here is the catch. I also take a regular women's vitamin that meets all the FDA requirements by 100% and then some as the NIOXIN ones reach it on some ingredients and not others. What is does have is a combination of other herbal ingredients that help with hair health. I have never tried the NIOXIN shampoo. I think we just need to steel ourselves to the reality that it happens and it will stop one day. In the meantime here is to hoping our skinny bodies get all the looks and the hair is ignored!

Take care,

I have not lost any hair yet, but to get ahead of it...I cut my hair really short for the summer heat.   Won't notice it so much now....

I'm over 4 months out and I'm also losing my hair in CLUMPS!!!
This was the one side effect I dreaded the most --- I like the idea of getting a new do to try and camouflage the effects - Thanks for that advice!


Hang in there!

I had surgery 3/8 and am in the same boat with the hair issues.  I was wondering if you had started anything that seemed to help.  I am ording Nioxin Recharging Complex on Amazon today.  I also take the Gummy Bear multi-vitamins.  I would love to hear if you found anything that was helpful!  I am definitely freaked out about the idea of skinny and bald, definitely not what I had hoped for!
