Question:
Has anyone's hair not grown back?

I am almost 6 mos post op rny and have been losing hair for about 3 months or so. My hair has always been so fine and thin anyway and now there are some places that you can see through to my scalp. I am worried that it won;t come back. I take biotin, use nioxin products, get my protein in, etc. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.    — bikermama (posted on October 18, 2008)

Hi Arden I had the same problem. The solution: A vitamin D deficiency!!! Have your doctor check for it. The last thing I would have expected it to be!!! Good luck and let me know how you make out! -Danielle

After 3 mos of losing hair is about the time it starts coming back! Hopefully you will begin to notice short hairs coming in along your face line very very soon. Someone mentioned labs...That wouldn't hurt to see if you have any deficiencies or lows that could aid in this problem...Take long hair and pull it back with your hand...then brush your finger tips forward at the hair line to try to see if there are any fine hairs growing back in...You should notice fine peach fuzz growing back any time now! Good luck!

With fine hair you need to always use volumizing shampoo and conditioner - I have fine hair as well. I was loosing mine too which I was told is all part of the process but it stops. I'm also taking folic acid it helps as well. I've got new hair coming in according to my hair dresser. Had to have it cut shorter because of the hair loss but wit the new hair coming in it can all grow longer later. Hope this helps some. Blessings! Anita

I have never yet heard of someone's hair not growing back. It should after 4 months for sure.
