I am fully aware of Biotin, Gelatin, Protein intake and the like (don't mean to be rude but please do not post a lecture on them). My question is has anyone found a product (shampoo, treatment etc) that they used to prevent hair loss before it started? I have very fine hair. I'm one month out and can see my hair getting dryer. I have read hair loss typically starts at month 3 and am wondering if there is a product anyone used in this process that helped protect them? I've heard of Nioxin but have also heard that once you discontinue use your hair ends up thinning! Help please!

@@kvdme has it started growing back?

I am 7 months out and have had no hairloss. I have very fine, thin, slow growing hair, so any loss would be noticeable. I did not take any extra biotin. I do not use special shampoos. I've always gotten in all my protein (except for the first 5 days after surgery). I take a very good whole food based multivitamin, including enzymes and probiotics, not chemically synthesized vitamins. (You really can't imitate nature). And I was a happy, optimistic post op patient. I did not obsess over the scale or stalls. I didn't stress or whine over the diet restrictions. I even had the added physiological stress of a bad C. diff infection from a dental procedure 6 weeks after surgery that resulted in 2 months of diarrhea and required a fecal transplant to cure. Still....no hairloss. So my "secret recipe" is protein, good nutritional supplements, and above all, a good attitude.... But in the end, I think it's all a crapshoot. If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.

What brand of vitamins do u take?

Sleevenewbie,

I take Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Women. I used to take Source of Life Gold chewable (also a very good whole food vitamin) but postop everything tasted too sweet to me so I switched to Vitamin Code because it came in capsules.
