For hair loss I suggest garlic shampoo and a garlic hot oil treatment, also if your dr gives the ok, add deodorized garlic supplements. I've not yet scheduled my surgery but I suffered from horrible hair loss when I moved from Mississippi to Arizona.

You may be able to find Queen Helene or Nutrine Garlic Shampoo in your local Black BSS. If not, get it from Amazon. Good luck!

Sadly you can not prevent the hair loss. What you can do is help the regrowth by increasing your Protein . My NUT said to shoot for 90-100 grams.

I am 6 months out and finally my loss has slowed. My hairdresser said Thursday that my hair is really healthy (thanks to the added protein)

Take a deep breath and know that it is temporary and it will grow back.

This is great news.... (deep breath taken) I will definitely increase my protien... you know it's funny too because just today I said it seems like it's hard for me to hit my protien goal!! For the last week I've been around 70-80, when my Dr told me I should be aiming for 100!! I'm just gonna have to force down more shakes I guess!

My nutritionist has said if it is going to happen it will but the key to helping body deal with stress is protein. Call it prevention on not but my hair and nails are growing like crazy since taking extra steps since pre-op and if that makes whatever is lost not seem dramatic I will take it.

Agree with Protein remarks above, plus folks in my support group recommend taking a supplement called "hair, Skin, and Nails" made by Radiance.
