Ever since surgery June 13th of this year my hair is really dry, brittle, yes I get it colored at the salon, a low light and highlights every 7 weeks but ever since my surgery it just breaks off at the ends like its fried. My stylist suggested Biotin. With that said, I read in a magazine tonight about Viviscal but didn't like the reviews on Walgreens.com about oily skin and oily hair from Viviscal but it does promote hair growth and healthy hair for thinning hair which I do have also. I do use a flat iron on it. Anyone of you girls out there a stylist and can shed some light on here for me??? Help!!!

Buy some keratin treatments to add protein back to ur hair also a heat protectant when u flat iron try turning your iron down if it's up all the way I've been a stylist for 11yrs. Also a product called its a 10 does miracles good luck hun

I use the Chi heat shied and they even carry it in Wal Mart

where do I get keratin treatments? Don't mean to sound dumb, sorry...lol. I do use its a 10 products and love them. Yesterday I left the deep conditioner on with a cap for an hr and it really helped a lot, I mean a lot. I will wash it again tomorrow as I have a dr's appt and I will have time to do the same thing and leave the conditioner on there for a while before styling. I can't thank all you ladies enough for caring and all your suggestions. Now if I can only get it to grow back out from my stylist cutting the ends off..grrr but she had to do it.

are you still taking Vitamins? I take quite a few and Biotin is among them. I take 600 mg. also I take DHA for the oil needs.

yes I take vitamins plus biotin. Exactly what is DHA for?

Donna I'm so glad u did the deep conditons...The Orange cap products from It's a 10 are a Keratin line and u can use the conditioner as a treatment..also Paul Mitchell has a Wild Ginger Keratin treatment..this just came out a few years ago and it's a really nice product..but the Salon treatment is usually pricey...they do also have Keratin styling products that are resonably priced

Sarah, have you ever heard of "Sea Salt" treatments? I was at the dentist today and got to talking with the receptionist and well she knew my mom and well we were talking and she was telling me how she had her hair blond last year and now it's Kim Kardashian black which is her natural color and looks great on her but pryor to that she said her hair was fried and she went to a salon in a nearby city (about an hour away from me) and got 3 treatments (separately) where the stylist used something called sea salt treatments and it worked wonders and her hair was as healthy as healthy could be. So I called today and the girl was able to get me in next week for my first treatment, I'm uber excited. Can't you tell. lol

Let us know how it goes. I'm worried about my hair. It's super thick, but I'm afraid that when I lose the weight it might turn to "cotton candy" as I've heard it referred to about WLS patients. I started taking Biotin 5000mg, 2 weeks prior to surgery and haven't missed a day...even after surgery...I didn't care! I'm super scared to have my hair turn to caca.
