I do my proteins, and my Biotin.. but still my hair falls out, and falling out more recently!! I have been sleeved for a little over a year! What do you guys recommend to take to help my hair loss problem

me too although im male :S

Iron! My hair stopped falling out when I started taking an iron supplement. I have since read that low iron and zinc levels can cause hair loss, and I was anemic. Try it--it can't hurt.

oh.. and here i was focusing on the protein only! thanx for the tip!

an yea i am anemic as well!

My surgeon has suggested flaxseed oil and selenium along with nioxin scalp treatment and shampoo.

oh my... what is nioxin scalp treatment.. gotta look that up!

may i ask where do you buy this nioxin scal treatment? do you buy it online or at a drug store? just wondering.. i am so lost since i never heard of this!

thanx a bunch!

I haven't bought it yet, it was just in the literature from my surgeon. I just had surgery the 12th...so I'm reading everything again. I don't have enough hair to begin with, yikes. I am west coast, don't know if location makes a difference (just thinking of the Hellman's mayo thing LOL!)

i looked it up online, i just dont know what website to trust... i am desperate, lol

Go to nioxin.com and click on salon finder - it will let u know if u can find the product in. Your area.

I am going to start using nioxin and Biotin before 4/13 surgery in hopes I don't lose too much hair - otherwise i will seriously be baldheaded. And girls usually can't pull off bald lol

I know I had a full head of beautiful curly hair before i had my daughter, with my pregnancy, my thick hair thinned out and started falling out through out the 13yrs after I had my daughter... and now with this surgery! I am looking like my dad... bald as heck!!! lol it's embarrassing!, thanx for the website info!

also my cousin was telling me she knows of someone who uses a shampoo called "Caballo" it has a horse on the label... a horse! lol but supposedly it works, they sell it at walmart

I use the Nioxin Shampoo and Conditioner. It takes it about a month before you notice a decrease in the hair loss, but it does work! I buy it at the Smart Style inside Walmart. You can also find it at CVS, Walgreens, if not in the store then on their websites.

You might also have them check your thyroid as that can also be a symptom for thyroid problems.

Good Luck!

oh wow you have a salon in your walmart? none of mine around my area do!!! I had my thyroid checked and it's fine. I will look for the products at CVS, Walmart etc... the website only gave me hair salons but they are very far from me!! so thanx for the giving me this info.. can't wait to try it! I have beautiful golden blonde hair, but it's so thin, that you can see my scalp big time

Hmmm, i'm going to have to look into some of this as well. I'm nervous about adding in Iron as I've had issues with it before (digestive issues... not fun). My mom visited me a few weeks ago and she noticed right away. I hadn't. I have always lost a lot, saying while i'm brushing my hair or showering etc, but I guess it isn't growing back like it used to.

I was worried at first because my Protein wasn't very high... I was barely meeting my minimums. I switched my Protein shake though to one that is higher protein (but tastes nasty lol) and been more careful. It hasn't been very long so I don't know if it has helped or not.

How expensive is that shampoo and do you have to use it every time or could you use say ever other time you washed your hair?
