I was SO PISSED because id spent so much money getting the color shine cut right LOL!!! ( and of course my BODY too ..the last ESSENTIAL ingredient to looking great )
I had a n iron deficiency and when i started taking a chewy iron every few days .... the hair loss slowed and then stopped .
In the meantime rogaine worked a little to control the fallout ....
My hair is DIFFERENT now ... a little more brittle and easily broken , as are my nails which peel too much . But thank God its no longer coming out .
They say hair loss after 6 months post is definitely a sign of low iron n zinc.... I found it to be true so GET YER SUPPLEMENTS in y'all !

I havent tried it because i put keratin in my hair and only certain shampoos can be used or it washes out .....
Hang in there, it will come back.
My surgeon warned me that by the 6 month mark, I will lose alot of hair.
But he reassured my the by the 1 year mark, it would be back.
At our last support group meeting, we had a hairdresser come in and speak to us.
She had lost over 150 pounds and lost a lot of her hair. It is coming back in.
She recommended biotin forte 3 mg a day. Showed us a product that you brush into your
hair to cammoflage the thinning. She also recommended for some who lose alot to use hair pieces or wigs to improve your self esteem.
She also said it was to important to shampoo and keep your scalp clean.
Hope this helps.
This is the only thing I am not looking forward too.
