I am 13 wks post op and terrified of losing my hair. I was told by my doctor if you keep up with your protein and supplements you will not lose your hair. I take minimum of 80 grms. of protein, multiple vitiman, iron, botin, B12, tons of calcium. Has anyone lost hair if so when did it start and did you maintain your protien and still loose?

For me it began at 3 months and stopped between 6 and 9, definetly noticable in the tub but not really to anyone else, i was told biotin was good and have taken it everyday and i swear by it.

I am 10 weeks and have the same paranoia.. I already have short, fine, hair- I don't want to lose it!! .

Losing my hairs worries me too. I have started taking biotin to help. I really hope it does.

Someone told me to use a pet shampoo called Tame and Tail and to take biotin. My dr agreed with the biotin, laughed about the shampoo, and also said keep up the protein and supplements. Hair health starts on the inside.

The shampoo is Mane and Tail and it is also sold in regular beauty supply places. It has been used by humans for years.

I had surgery July 2 and have had some issues. My hair us coming out by the hand fills and it freaks me out! Not sure if this is normal at this point or what I can do. Any suggestions?

It's called mane and tail. I use it, it won't keep you from losing your hair, it just makes your hair insanely soft and pretty. It's not just pet shampoo, it says on the bottle that its for humans but works well on animals also.

Thanks! I'll look for the shampoo. Also thinking of cutting my hair too. We shall see.

Taking prenatal Vitamins instead of a Multivitamin will help combat hair loss. I figure they work just as well since they are designed to sustain your body while you are creating another human. Just a thought

I was thinking that as well I will ask my doc about that

i have my surgery Friday and i have been taking biotin and some hair and nail pill really hoping they will help.

I am taking biotin and silica and my hair stylist suggested Mane and Tail as well, but I was also told to take Nioxin which is meant for thinning hair. I mentioned it to my hair stylist and she was like yes, that works well, just a bit pricey. So I ordered a starter pack and see what I think about it, the pack was 26$. What is a good hair and nail supplement? (besides those I mentioned above)

I take gnc hair and nails. I only wash my hair 2x a week with nioxin. I'm a hair stylist and I go to my beauty school and get scalp treatments (scalp massages) every two weeks. Its only $5

So you heard that nioxin is helpful too?

There are 3 stages how hair growth telogen anogen and catagen there is a hormone released by the body due to trauma or stress that puts hair in the resting stage. Nioxin is said to neutralize that hormone. Do I know it works? No but I'm praying it does.
