I was sleeved a year ago and experienced mild hair loss. I take biotin and make sure I eat enough protein daily and drink water. I don't know if you wear your hair natural but I make sure to keep my hair moisturized and do low maintenance styles. I notice my hair is starting to grow back fuller now.




I did wear my hair natural that's why I'm nervous about hairloss! But thank you for the great advice!

I'm 7 months out and it's bad. Like a hand full falls out everytime I shower. You can pretty much see bald spots on my head when I put my hair up in a ponytail. I pray that it will slow down here soon.

Have you been using biotin or hair gummies? When I was going natural I used Jamaican castor oil on my hair because it helps unite hair grow. If you do a oil treatment and massage unite scalp to stimulate out that may help! Let me know if these work for you!

I had hair loss and my hair got pretty thin, dry, brittle and had a lot of breakage. This happened even though I got plenty of protein, took vitamins, lab work was normal and I took biotin. I tried tons of different shampoos, oils, and essential oils.
What finally worked for me was I started taking powdered marine collagen mixed in my water every day and I drank a cup of bamboo tea once or twice a day (bamboo tea is high in silica and is good for skin hair and nails). This combinations stopped the hair loss and my hair over a course of about two months got shinier and the breakage stopped.
I am almost three years post op and my hair is back to normal. I occasionally drink bamboo tea just to help it out plus I like the taste.




Thank you for the great advice!

Seriously - Biotin.

I haven't had any hair loss. Actually my hair has gotten stronger and fuller.

Also, it's important to stick with your vitamins on schedule (AM/PM). That really helps too I've been told.




Thank you so much!

Girl I've done everything! LOL... from home remedies like mayonnaise to the expensive Bosley shampoo. Biotin gummies, biotin pills and Biotene shampoo my hair is not stopping period it's on a good one! I get a lot of protein in every day. Hopefully it slows down here soon

Try Argan Oil, I've got alopecia and it really helps me. Not sure price wise but here in Scotland it's about £20 for massive bottles of shampoo and conditioner that lasts 6 months.
