Hair Loss... Help!

I am now 4 months post op and is noticing hair loss in clumps... I have stopped brushing my hair until I need to and have been wearing it in a ponytail everyday because when my hair is down I lose much more of it. Has anyone tried Keratin products or products on this website http://www.justnaturalskincare.com/hair/loos-shampoo.html

Its not noticeable yet but I was down to one Protein shake a day and now I increased it to two just incase im not getting enough protein in. I have also been taking Biotin for the last 2 months everyday.

I changed over to main and tail shampoo because it promotes stronger healthier hair...

What can I do to stop this?

Im freaking out!

  • I would definitely avoid pony tail holders, hair clips and hats, that is too stressful on the hair. Make sure get your Protein, drink your Water, and if you aren't worried about having your hair one

    Getting in as much protein as you can is the first step. I am happy that I've had only minor thinning (my husband says I don't look any different). I get in 85-100g of protein on most days, 50-65g on

This is very common with WLS patients (weight loss patients) because we aren't getting all the nutrients we actually require our hair will suffer for the first 1-3 years biotin helps and keratin complex serums shampoos etc help but either way your hairs going to thin. I had to cut my hair into a shoulder length bob to lighten the weight and that helped some. Don't waste your $$ on expensive shampoos I did and it was a waste trust me. Target and even Sally's beauty supply sales keratin treatment in single packets that are doable it has all the whey and soy hydro keratin etc. a lot of brands if you read the labels don't have but one type of keratin stay away from those they are a waste.

At the beginning I struggled so bad with Protein shakes! I mean I tried EVERYTHING! And it was ALL nasty... until I found the nectar line made by Syntrax... AMAZING! That is the only thing I can drink!

How did you make it? Did you use Water or milk? Did you add fruits? Which is your best flavor?

At first I started with the vanilla bean torte (tastes like ice cream) and I use milk but my friend uses water and it is still good. We drive 45 mins to the nearest Vitamin shoppe to get this even though we have like 3 health and vitamin shops in our town but they dont carry this product. I just finished my morning one now... LOL

Do you add fruits? How many ounces of milk do you add? How much Protein do each of the shakes have? Thanks for answering the other questions

I dont add fruit... I did with all the others to mask the taste of the protein but Im sure it will taste good with fruit... Actually Im gonna try that! I use about a cup of milk to one scoop (24g of protein) plus the milk I usually count it as 30g for one shake. I can honesty same this is the only Protein Shakes I can drink. I have tried Priemer, Isopure, unjury, the one from GNC people swear by and 5 more but I cant remember the names. I spent thousands of dollars on protein during the first 3 months it was ridiculous.
