Biotin did nothing for my hair loss.

Many people who are fortunate enough to keep their hair think it's something that they did.. "oh, I ate a lot of fat in my diet and always hit my protein goals, THAT'S why I kept my hair".. or "oh I took biotin and brushed my hair with a boars bristle brush 1000 strokes a day and that's the secret" Unfortunately it's NOT that simple. I ALWAYS take all my supplements including biotin, I eat a diet high in fat, I ALWAYS hit my protein goals, I use Nioxin shampoo... and I still lost hair. I KNEW I would because I lost hair after my gallbladder surgery too.. For many of us, it's just a side effect of any surgery.

Very true...the only thing that helps is if you happen to be a slow loser, which most complain about that on the other hand. The rapid weight loss puts our bodies in shock, just like chemo does to cancer patients....and hair falls out. For some not as much as others,and I really believe it has to do with how slowly or quickly we lose our weight. No amount of supplements or protein, or certain shampoo is going to change that! good luck to you all....oh and btw....the hair always grows back! Lol

I used to cry with the amt of hair I was losing every day it had reduced alot since I cut my hair short.

My man gets a thrill seing my short hair one more benefit, ha ha.

agreed. Whether or not you lose your hair under this kind of stress has more to do with whether or not you are genetically predisposed to lose your hair under stress than anything you can do to prevent it.
