My Success In Hair Loss....



Recommended Posts

First I want to state this is my success and mayn't necessarily work for you....

!st important factor as we all know is Protein and plenty of it, if you have difficult eating your allotted amount as I do try various Protein drinks. I personally vomit all Protein Drinks except the unjury chicken flavor Protein powder.

2nd important factor is plenty of Water. It is important to stay hydrated throughout the day.

That being said here is the formula I use every day. My only regret is not beginning sooner, like right after my surgery.

Oh, and just a quick reminder, we average a loss of one hundred strands of hair a day, just an important fact to make you feel slightly better.

Every morning and evening I take one Biotin 7500mg.

I condition my hair with Nioxin every nite and Shampoo twice a week with Nioxin. Sally Beauty's store sells Nioxin in a off brand called Nutri-ox, it works just as well and saves some money.

Afterwards I use Doo Gro (found at Sally's Beauty), which is an ethnicity lotion that is used as an leave-in product (some of the ingredients are oat Protein, shea butter, beeswax, etc.), combined with Argan oil treatment, use both sparingly.

This combination has worked for me and may help one of you. Of course we all of varying opinions if any of these products really do work, however I can say honestly it has for me.

Good Luck

Good tips and I'm glad you were able to avoid hairloss. I drank plenty of Water, always got my Protein in, and took Biotin. Still, at 3 months out I started losing hair. A LOT of hair. It fortunately started to slow down at around 6 months out, and a month later was pretty much falling out at a normal rate.

I was glad to see you put the dosage on the Biotin. I have been taking it since 5/09, 1000mg a day and it has (knock on wood) kept me from losing hair. I have a lap band and did not get thinning hair. In fact my hair dresser said my hair got thicker. So give it a try if you haven't already

Thanks so much for info. I am very worried of getting bald spots not just from the surgery but 2mo. after my brother age52 had stroke and died suddenly then last week my younger brother 42 had a heart attack and died. I understand stress from this type of loss can cause Hair loss. I started loosing hair at 3 1/2mo. it seemed to slow down after a couple weeks but this week started to see lots when I Shampoo. Oh well they say it will grow back.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the tremendous loss of your two brothers. Healing thoughts are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
