Hair Loss

when did your hair start falling out?

how much did you lose?

when did it start growing back?

what products did you use to help?

i had surgery 7months ago & ive lost 6/8 of my hair. i used to have beautiful full thick long hair. now its very thin & ive even lost length. my hair fell out in chunks!!

i use biosil drops, Biotin pills, excessive hairloss shampoo & conditioner & a super hair gro grease. the grease seems to be working but not fast enough lol. i was watching dr oz & he mentioned something called black currant. ill be buying those too!!! im going to overdose myself on everything possible to jump start this hair process & stop it from falling out so much! ive also upped my protein!

i also did a video on my sleeve journey vlog on youtube where i show you a chunk of hair that came out of my head!

I was told by my doctor's nutritionist, and a couple of other bariatric surgeons I consulted before making my final decision that hair loss is a product of slacking off on vitamins and Protein.

I remember I diet I went on in 2005-ish where I lost a LOT of weight (nearly 80 pounds) in about 4 months and I lost a lot of hair on that one but I know my calories and protein were all wrong. I was barely eating, not taking vitamins, and exercising like 3 hours (straight catabolic cardio) every.single.day. Once I got off of it, the hair came back quickly though.
