Hair Loss

Hey everyone, I had a question that I hope some of you can help me with. I didn't lose to much hair in the beginning, but 4 months out it started getting bad. I increased my Protein and even started taking Biotin. I had thick hair to start off with and its not that noticeable yet, but I'm really starting to freak out. Everyday it's a lot that I lose. When did your hair loss decrease/stop? I'm just looking for a lite at the end of this tunnel.

I'm 20 months out and still lose some, but like you, I've been taking biotin - even before surgery I was taking it - and the growth started coming back in about a year ago, so its on a par with what I lose so I've still got a headfull of hair :)

I'm right there with you brightfuture. At my last checkup with my NP of the surgical team I asked her about my hair coming out hand over fist. She said it's usually the worst during months 3-6, she said: make sure to get all your Protein in, try taking Biotin, and she promised that nobody has ever gone bald (I made her promise on that one LOL). I have very fine hair so it's pretty noticable on me. My beautician said on average everyone loses about 100 strands a day but she doesn't want to put any chemicals on my hair because it's coming out so bad. So no perms or color for me! Talk about adding insult to injury! I see her again tonight. Not sure what the game plan will be.

All that being said....the compliments are starting to come in....I wouldn't give up my progress for all the hair in china. Hang in there!
