Hello!

I'm 3.5 months post op, and am now experiencing the dreaded telogen effluvium, AKA when a large amount of your hair falls out and makes you sad.

It's not even been a month since my hair has started falling out, but I can see a major difference in how visible my scalp is and as far as I can tell by perusing these forums, the web, and talking to my doctor/nurse practitioner, it's going to continue at this rate for a couple months more... at which I imagine I will be near bald.

So I thought I would take control and start taking some Vitamins to kickstart the regrowth of my hair so at least my scalp won't be super visible and I can regain the thickness of my hair a little sooner

I take all me recommended vitamins, and 5000 mcg Biotin (I tried 10000 but I was breaking out really badly).

I've read that vivascal is good for growing your hair, and rogaine for women.

I'm worried about using rogaine because I read that when you stop taking it your hair will fall out again.

Has anyone had any experience with vivascal or any other type of Vitamin to speed up hair regrowth and saw favorable results?

Thanks!

do you eat eggs? they are full of all the good stuff you need to grow pretty hair.

I was told Rogaine will not help with this type of hair loss.

Best I have found.

These are good for people with ethnic hair.

You can stop it from falling out, but you can make it grow back almost as fast as it is coming back. Just max your Protein out, take all your Vitamins, drink lots of Water, and treat your hair gently. Rogaine won't help with this.

I can't stomach eggs and I'd rather spend time eating Protein I can keep down

thank you for the suggestioN!

Right, I have no illusions that I can keep my hair from falling out, I just want to get growth to happen as much as possible.

What else have you tried?

It says if you stop using the serum, the new hair growth will fall out

Is this true in the case of hair loss due to surgery rather than aging?

Thanks for the link!

I stopped using it and the new hair hasn't fallen out and it is still growing.

I only stopped using it because I ran out and haven't reordered, but it did make my hair thicken up very fast, in like 3 weeks.

Oh nice! I think biologically it makes sense it wouldn't make the hair fall out after discontinued use.

Thank you so much for your help!
