Hi guys, My hair has been falling out and thining so much I am begining to worry about going bald. Everytime I move many strands fall out. So I need suggestions tips and info on how to prevent this. I have read that biotin helps and one article about Omega 3, 6, 8 supplements. I was wondering how much most of you take of each and if there is anything else I can do. I have also increased my protein intake. I wash my hair everyday and wear a ponytail alot. Is this bad for increasing hair loss? Will my hair grow back after I stop loosing weight or is this permant? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly apprcieated. Thank you so much

I came across this and HAD to read it because I noticed this on me too the other day. I was sitting at work and could feel "spiders" on my arms...it was my hair just falling out. I have never had hair problems and my hairdresser swore after my pregnancy that my hair would thin...no way. Anyhow, I'm just about 4 months out from my surgery and my hair is falling out like crazy. I have a huge thick head of hair but for me this is alarming. I'm going to start the biotin and see how it goes. It seems like it is a pattern between 4-5 months people start noticing this side effect. I'm NOT losing weight in any alarming amount....ugh...but maybe it is just the surgery issue??

It is. It's from the shock of surgery. I have clients who have had surgery and about 4-6 months after they start losing hair... But it should all come back. :-)

Anyone out there knows how long this last. I started at 3 months out and I have been shedding about 5 1/2 weeks. It is scary and I find that my texture is changing. That part I like. How long does this last? weeks or months? I am a hair person, but I can't take too much more. Please advise bandsters out there.

I was told it is from anesthesia not shock which is it? I had other surgery and never had hair loss.

I am almost 5 mos out and today I noticed my hair is finally starting to grow back. It's about 1/2 long but it's a start.

Okay, this topic is sooooo for me ! For the past two weeks, everyone is complaining about finding my hair everywhere. I have a mane of hair and I keep losing hair !!! It's Pissing me off
