Hi I am preop surgery for band to bypass on 8/24. I have read a lot about hair loss and that Nioxin was great for regrowth

However after researching it appears they recently changed the Nioxin formula and it's no good anymore.

Any other tips to preventing hair loss or at the very least assisting with regrowth? Thanks!

I do hair for a living, dioxin isn't as strong as it used to be, but it takes time to work on you hair like a month to feel results. Paul Mitchell came out with a great new product that works on thinning hair. It has a shampoo and conditioner and even a scalp treatment. I use it at home and I've noticed a difference.

Ok I lost a lot of hair when I had the gastric bypass. Key is Biotin and make sure you take your multiple Vitamins daily. I use shampoo & conditioner with biotin in it too. Zinc helps too

The clinical term for our kind of hair loss is telogen effluvium. Nioxin does not work and neither does minoxidil. Don't waste your money or believe anyone who is trying to sell you a product to make your hair grow. I had a hairdresser try to push me into buying some very expensive stuff. I said no after doing my research. Our low calorie diet is why we lose our hair. All you can do is make sure you get enough Protein and Biotin. When you return to a normal diet, hair will grow again.

I started taking a Vitamin for hair skin and nails. Now my hair feels really dry, but it's growing

Yeah. There are all types of technical terms of hair loss. Nioxin is clinically proven to work. People expect results in a few days of using it, when it needs a continuing use for a month. It works if the hair follicle instead dead. If it's not dead it helps hair come in stronger and more healthier. There are other brands who have similar items. BUT! The key is to take your vitamins. Your multivitamin should include biotin and vitamin D which are crucial to you and your hair. Also, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.. I hope this helps and i am not trying to push you on products. But I have knowledge of these things from being in this profession and from many hours of school in for this stuff.
