Well I had originally expected the hair loss but since I had no stress, no pain, no real turmoil, and by week 7 I had NO HAIR LOSS, I was hopefull the hair loss would not happen.

WRONG!!!

It began slowly last week and now it's pretty bad.

Yes I know why, and yes I have taken all my vitimins and try to reach the protien, but 2 months post up, it has finally kicked in

MY F-ING HAIR IS COMING OUT!!!

Soooo, I know the cyle goes in 3 months... but how long can I expect this to last do you think??? My scalp is tingly and I am careful when brushing and washing but I know there will be no stopping the telogen effluvium.

FYI - Biotin INCREASES hunger. Not only have I experienced it' date=' it's a proven side effect - I will NOT take biotin.

I am so pissed about my hair - I had this happen 2x in my life in the past 20 years. I have tried anything in the past to no avail. I really thought it wasn't going to happen.[/quote']

Maybe it won't increase your hunger. It hasn't for me..maybe it doesn't effect red heads! I also take b12. I had hair loss when my b12 was low. I'm never Hungry and still have to set my alarm to remind me to eat. Try the biotin shampoo

Does that include bottle red heads? Here's hoping lol!

I get it at wegmans but I believe you can get it at most drug stores and Walmart

Any guys out there dealing with this? I have pretty short hair so any loss is going to jump out. I definitely would trade it for being healthier but I will take all steps possible to minimize.

for some reason i thought hair loss would not happen to me because i am african american..

.not! lol! i have lost a lot of hair, more like thinning, length is still there but it is thin. This has been going on for 3 months now and i am 7 months out. I'm hoping it thickens up once the thinning episode ends.

I spoke too soon... Noticed hair in the shower this morning.... Sigh!

I had crazy hair loss! It slowed down after 6 months. This is the first I have heard about the biotin causing hunger, but my doc told me biotin does not prevent hair loss, it only helps the strength of hair growth. I take it because I am desperate for healthy and full hair again! Lol

Mine started at 3 months, I'm 4 months now. I thought I was prepared for it, and its way worse than I could have imagined. I'm afraid I'm gonna have bald spots on my scalp soon. I'm a hairstylist so this is my world!

Me too... I'm also 4 moths out how much weight have u lost
