Hair loss

I'm 4.5 months out and experiencing quite a bit of hair loss right now. Im really afraid of doing my hair on a daily basis for fear of balding badly (dramatic?) any tips on how to deal?

I cried a few times over my hair loss. I considered getting a topper I lost so much.

I made sure I was drinking lots of Water, taking Biotin every day, cut my hair really short and used colored hair fibers to disguise my scalp shining through.

This too shall pass.

I cried a few times over my hair loss. I considered getting a topper I lost so much.

I made sure I was drinking lots of Water, taking Biotin every day, cut my hair really short and used colored hair fibers to disguise my scalp shining through.

Did you use heat products? I wash once every 3 days so that helps reduce loss but I'm concerned about styling.

Biotin, lots of Water, Protein and

ure oregano oil addresses and eradicates scalp problems such as inflammation, dandruff and sweat. It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial in nature. If you have very little strand fallout, along with good hygiene and maintenance practices, it is believed that your hair will be able to grow at an accelerated pace.

I have used oregano oil in the past and I did notice some benefits, including what looked like slightly faster-growing and stronger hair.

When to use:

Use weekly or bi-weekly as a part of hair and scalp cleansing regimen. If you are being challenged with hair loss, balding, dandruff, head lice, scabies or inflammation of the scalp, you may want to especially consider using pure oil of oregano.

How to use:

Create a topical hair/scalp rub for general maintenance to avoid hair loss and promote maximum scalp health. Mix with other oils, as pure, undiluted oregano oil can be a skin irritant. It is recommended that you dilute with carrier oil at a ratio of one to four. Add a few drops of pure oregano oil per tablespoon of shampoo to get rid of scalp infections or dandruff. If you are creating a topical ointment, you should use one ounce of pure oregano oil in four ounces of coconut oil on clean scalp.

Once hair has been washed and conditioned, part your hair row by row and massage oil mixture into scalp for best results. If your scalp is particularly sensitive, dilute mixture to a more comfortable ratio and rub in. If you desire, you may rinse entire head after 10 to 15 minutes, as the smell may be strong even after dilution.

Hi. I'm taking extra supplements including zinc, selenium, magnesium and folic acid. Apart from your Protein intake and multi Vitamins, I would check other supplements you could take. My nutritionist has told me any hair loss usually sorts itself out after six months. Hope you'll be okay. X

I stopped using heat about 3 months ago. I only use my blowdryer for a few minutes.
