Hair Loss Help?

I'm lucky to have super thick long hair but it started to come out in large amounts in the shower about 2 weeks ago! What are some tips for stopping this horrifying trend???

I'm not sure there is anything, but ride it out....some folks take biotin, but not sure it helps.....good luck!

I'm thinking that upping your protein might help.

Ughh darling Im going thru the same crap! I also have extremely thick hair as well. But winters coming and straight hair season has arrived . i try to wash it as little as possible. Thats when I find I loose the most. They have dry shampoo as well I use that alot. Best of luck to you I hope both our hair stays on our head where it belongs.

6 months out and I am about in tears. My hair is shoulder length and I'm thinking about getting a medium BOB just to even it up. I do take biotin everyday and I can see the start of some new hair growing in. Be sure to take your vitamins and a calcium replacement. This seem to work for me. Good luck! :)

Fish oil. Take fish oil. The post op diet doesn't contain enough good fats and that causes hair loss. And itchy skin.

GNC carries a fish oil called Coromega. It is a gel pack and alot easier to take than those big pills.

Try a high quality protein like UNJURY, that should help.

I am drinking Premier Chocolate Ready to go and blending Muscle Milk Light. I hope these are high quality protein drinks.
