I’m having a lot of hair loss, do you think it can get worse if I dye it?

I think it might. Just speaking from a personal experience, my hair gets dry after dying and typically I have more breakage. I have less damage when i go to a professional.

Do you take biotini? If not, I would suggest adding that to your Vitamins...it doesn't necessarily help with your hair falling out, but it does help with the quality of your hair. I've been taking it for about 2 weeks and i can already tell a difference.

From my experience, hair loss is fairly common. My stylist estimated that by around 5 months post op I had lost about 10% of my hair. It began to grow back about a month ago.

Through it all, I continued to have my highlights done without any adverse effects. I would never attempt to color my hair myself though. I'm not certain if that would make any difference.

Thank you ladies, I'm not taking biotini, but I take other vitamins and I'm want to go to a professional.

Hi Lucy,

You are not alone! My hair is falling out too, just started actually. I thought I was in the clear until a month ago, blah! Anyway, Biotin can't hurt to take. I have been taking them 7 months before surgery, it obviously doesn't prevent the hair from falling out, but can help with new hair growth, not to mention long nails and great looking skin.

About coloring your hair I don't have an answer for you. I have a small amount of greys behind my ears I do myself. I use Natural Hair instincts, its less abrasive on the hair. ask a professional hair specialist what do they think, just in case you don't want to use any harsh chemicals in your hair.

Biotin and a lot of sugar-free Jello. My doctor told me that rapid weight loss an hair loss go hand in hand but It will grow back. A few years ago, I lost 80# in 6 months and lost a lot, (unnoticeable) but I hot it all back!

Yes it will hurt your hair!! I'm a stylist... You really need to add a protein shake or something high in protein because your hair is falling out because your not getting enough in your diet.

This is a relief to know! Thank you!

Snipme, I have very dark hair and the greys are noticible when they come in. I just touch up with natural hair instinct, is that okay? Nice we have a few hair specialists on here we can talk to and get help. Oh, I also use paul mitchell strong strength hair repair, also recommended by a hair stylist on here as well. I really like using it and hope it is helping.

My hair loss was getting really bad! I started taking biotin daily and it is much thicker now!!!

I am coloring my hair with Demi-color. Not as harsh.

I also use Wen hair products that keeps my hair so awesome that I can't believe it. I lose a lot during tax season each year due to stress, long hours, and poor nutrition so it is nothing new to me. It always comes back though.

What does jello do?

Glad I saw this question

I'm experiencing EXTREME hair loss, its so bad that I can see my scalp when in bright lights

I'm beyond depressed and hope it will grow back

My doc recommends zinc lozenges + biotin+ lots of Protein

Hope it helps

Thanks for the thread! As a future bandster, this has been one of my concerns. Loving the responses!
