Hair Loss

What is everyone using besides biotin for significant thinning of hair?? Prior to surgery I had very thick hair, 3 months out from surgery, my family and I are noticing. I think it's scaring my family as they are so unfamiliar with the changes and what to expect. I'm hoping others are experiencing this well??

  • Biotin will not prevent the hair loss. Biotin will however help the new hair as it grows in to be healthier.

  • Ok all! I have officially started and added Biotin to my Vitamin regimen (not sure if I'm happy just yet)! I jumped immediately to 5000mcg per RN, and we shall see! I'm probably about 1/3 loss of volu

Ok all! I have officially started and added Biotin to my Vitamin regimen (not sure if I'm happy just yet)! I jumped immediately to 5000mcg per RN, and we shall see! I'm probably about 1/3 loss of volume and thinking my long locks may need to be chopped short to look healthy again.

I will wait to add Nioxin, only because I would like too see if I notice any change, will keep everyone updated with my personal experience. I may not take it if it's not showing me any signs. Thank you to everyone who shared, I am grateful that I'm not in this alone!
