Trying new hair loss product.....



Recommended Posts

Well, I am 4 months out and the Hair loss started about 3-4 weeks ago. Not balding by any means, but significant thinning. Have a small handful every day. I think I am vacuming up as much hair from me as from the cat if that tells you anything.

I went to get my roots done and a trim yesterday, thinking that at least what I had left needed to be shaped up. I was talking with the beautician and she gave (sold) me a new set of products by Redkin. Now, I am always a bit of a sucker for a good product line and have more half used, had to try it beauty products in my bathroom closet than anyone I know. But, I decided that it was worth a shot. She did say redkin was giving it a 30 day money back guarantee, no questions asked. I could just log onto the website and they would cut me a check if I did not see improvement. So, anyway, I bout the 3 product kit. It was only like $35. I figured when she started on the guarantee, etc that it was going to be way more. The lady that owns this salon has lapband about 2 years ago and is one of the lucky success patients with it. She has lost like 150 pounds and has done great. I and my hairdresser talked with her about the surgery, etc and if it would help WLS alopecia (fancy name for hair loss), etc. She seemed to think it would.

I will let you know how it goes. If anyone else wants to give it a try instead of waiting for my 1 month report, it is called Redkin Intercept. I got the 3 piece kit, which is a Shampoo, a toner (conditioner they just call it a toner) and a leave in treatment. It does make my scalp feel all tingly. It is supposed to help with scalp circulation as one of the things it does.

Just thought some of you might want to know.

Thanks for sharing. I have grown my hair out and hoping not to lose too much. I heard Omega fish oil was good to take. I know it works great for shedding dogs..why not people. lol

I hope I don't step on any toes:

Well, I wish you well and I hate to be a harbinger of doom but I'm afraid there is little a topical solution can do to prevent or reverse this, only time will slow and reverse the process called telogen : https://secure.wikim...ollicle_cycling . It is natural and is happening in a more massive scale than it usually does due to the trauma of anesthetic, surgery and the abrupt diet change.

We literally waste millions (billions?) on hair care products in the first world. Most of them do nothing except make a very expensive sewage runoff.

Again sorry if I step on any toes but the factor here is TIME and plenty of Protein to get your body out of the shock it's received and start allowing things - like Hair growth - to resume again.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
