Rogain For Hair Loss?



Recommended Posts

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 :)

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....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
