Hair loss?

I've been reading a lot of posts on hair loss. It has me very nervous . I am 5 weeks post op and haven't experienced any hair loss. I am getting my grays colored tomorrow. My question is, has everyone experienced hair loss? And if yes, when did it start and when did you start to see re growth ?

I think Biotin is a fraud, lol. I took it over a year with NO results. Only after 11/2 years did I switch to Hair Vitamins and finally seeing a difference. Even the texture of my hair is not the same. Finally over 2 years have passed and I am somewhat accepting of my hair.

What brand and what is the name of the vitamins you took?

It is simply called Puritan's Pride Hair Vitamins. My husband bought me several bottles about five months ago and the results have made me super happy. Finally I can fix my hair and quit wearing my beautiful wig I have worn almost two years.

So far not much for me and I am almost at 7 months . I try to get in my Protein and added Great Lakes Hydolyzed Collagen... One in green can. Got on Amazon

I found some articles that it helps with hair loss and it must be. Can't hurt and helps my joints too. My shedding seems to be like it was pre surgery and not much more although a few times seemed to pick up a little.

Still keeping an eye out for it though. Hope that helps

I am almost 7 months out and have not noticed any loss at all.

I am almost 5 months out and I haven't lost any hair either. I'm praying that none of mine comes out because I sure don't want to cut my hair. I take 20,000 mcg of biotin daily and A/G Pro supplement that helps with hair growth. I started taking the biotin long before I had my surgery because I was so afraid of losing my hair. I just hope I make it through the next couple of months with no hair loss.
