African American Sleevers & Hair Loss

For those with relaxers. Does anyone have a plan for hair loss? I started taking biotin today but I need a plan. Does anyone have any tips? Weaves, wigs, pieces. Tell me what you did or recommend?

Just curious when does the hair loss generally start? I'm 3.5 months out. I have locs so I wonder if I will be able to notice. Since the surgery my hair and nails have been growing like crazy. Thinking its from all the vitamins. Hair is such a personal choice but I will say with all the working out it helps so much not to worry about my hair. Between working my kids and working out its one less thing to worry about.

Just curious I got sleeved on 28th and wondering if it was ok to rice? I want to eat a small piece of sushi so bad! I would chew it well before I swallowed!!!! Any suggestions

Its probably too soon. But being honest early on I had horrible cravings. Gave in twice and regretted as the pain was unbearable I thought I was going to die the food just kind of day in my throat it was awful. Needless to say haven't had a piece of chocolate since lol.

Way too soon. Did your NUT give you a plan to follow? On mine, I wasn't allowed rice, Pasta or bread until after 3 months. Even now at over 5 months, I rarely eat pasta, rice, or bread because I simply don't have room for it after getting my Protein in.

Hold off on your sushi. It'll be there in a few weeks. :-)

I was told it would start between months 2 and 6 if it were to happen. I'd noticed lots of hair growth prior to my loss beginning. It didn't start until the 4th month for me.

I have a friend with Sister Locs who had RNY almost 3 years ago. She experienced hair loss during the first year. I couldn't tell she was losing hair but she could in different places. Her hair looked full enough to me during that time. Hopefully, you won't experience much loss if any. :-)

Mine is natural and I had noticible hairloss bet three and 6 months. I wore wigs like in my pic and I did get my protien in but still had the loss. Good Luck.

A lady on YouTube named BlessedKayla had the sleeve. She said, she was not taking her Protein like she, should have her hair started coming out. She shows u in the video. She started using a egg and aloe vera . I think u can get the pure aloe vera from your local whole food store. She massaged the 2 the products in her hair. It started 2 grow back. U can watch the video as a reference.

I'm 3 months out not sure when hair starts to fall out. I have really thick hair and wear it in locks I wonder if I will notice it. I would recommend maybe doing a sew in. That way your hair can be free from chemicals for awhile. Best of both worlds

Okay I have tons of questions for you. I have short locs and I'm scared to death of my hair thinning especially around my hairline. How do you maintain your locs latch or palm roll? Do you take any supplements for hair? Oh yeah and what is your 3 month loss? I apologize for bombarding you but loc'ed and sleeved I got so excited lol!

Hey no problem please feel free to ask me anything. I palm roll and am very careful not to do it to tight around my edges. I take Biotin. Honestly my hair and nails have grown a lot since surgery I'm thinking its from all the Vitamins. I hit 4 months this week so I'm going to look for hair loss now. I'm most worried about my front hair because its the thinnest. I started out at 241. I'm currently 202 been on a stall for about two Weeks. I'm 5'7 and was approved based on my diabetes. I had a really severe case and was on pills n insulin shooting insulin 7 times per day. Now I taking one shot of insulin that my doctor said will stop after I am down 20 more pounds. Probably more then you asked for but I am so grateful for my sleeve.
