The following information came from my Dr. (Steven Clark)
1. Avoid rough treament by using a brush or fine-toothed comb, or towel-
dry your hair. Do not use a blow dryer or other heated appliances on
your hair; let it dry naturally. Do not comb your hair until it is dry, as wet
hair tends to break off.
2. Try Shampoo that has Biotin in the formula to aid in Hair growth and
durability.
3. Try Nutri-Ox System or Nioxin shampoos (shampoos, conditioner,scalp
treatment).
4. Do not take large dose of Vitamin A for an extended it can cause hair
loss.
5. Vitamin recommendations may be made by your dietician to ensure
nutrient adequacy.
My beautician also told me about the 50 or so hairs that we loose on an average day. Yes I did leave out the fact that stress can cause Hair loss woops. I was not aware that shampoos with high Proteins could cause my hair to become brittle and break off it makes me wonder why on earth my Dr. office would have recommended it. I was also told by my Dr. and dietician to get 80-90 grams of Protein a day. I do not know what any other Dr. say. I try not to give bad advice.
