Rogain For Hair Loss?

I'm about to my breaking point with this hair loss. I'm about 10 months out and my once very thick gorgeous hair is now incredibly thin and still falling out.

Anyone ever use Rogaine? Does it work as intended?

I'm about where you are. Nine 1/2 months and it keeps trying to grow back then dumps another load. Right now the front feels conspicuously thin. SOMEONE HEEELLLLPPP!!!

The Draino people are making a killing off of me, and I put my hair in a PONYTAIL with a SMALL barrette. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Chop it off! I did and it looks so much better and thicker and I have crazy confidence because of it!

I always thought my face was too round for a pixie but I love it :)

Am only 7weeks out, but I already have crazy thin hair. Am starting to freak out. Am noticing much more thinning in the top front of my head. HELP!!!!

I haven't even had surgery yet and its falling out and so thin! I tried using Xfusion and it looks good for awhile but halfway through the day it looks clumpy and noticeable. I want to try Rogaine also? Do you think extensions will help?

I'm 3 months out, take Biotin daily, 2,000 mg and cut my hair shoulder length and my hair is falling out, but not as bad as it was. I'd say make sure your Protein is up, and add biotin into your daily Vitamins.

My experience with extensions was that they were very, very hard on my hair. I have thinner, fragile hair so I think that was part of it. I don't recommend getting extensions for that reason. I was lucky and had no additional thinning from the sleeve - it would have been a disaster! I didnt take zinc, Biotin, or use special shampoo, and i have plenty of stress. It seems to be a matter of luck. I just cut my hair off and it looks SO much thicker it is amazing. It turned out to be the best solution for me.

Due to not being able to eat from my lapband and since getting the sleeve I noticed my hair was falling out badly, so I decided to bite the bullet and just cut it off into a trendy style and started to use Mane and Tail shampoo plus conditioner. Im going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. I heard that if you use Rogain and you stop using it, ur hair will fall back out.

I noticed a period of hair regrowth, and then it started falling out again. A LOT. Then I put it together- I quit taking my high powered vitamins and my protein intake fell off right before the hair loss accelerated again. I'm trying to keep up with both now to see if regrowth starts again soon. Kind of an experiment. I'll let you know what happens....
