Hair Loss

Hi all,

I had my surgery 6-21-17. I have been taking all my vitamins and hair vitamins that my doctors nutritionist tells me to take.

My hair has become more brittle and thin out more[emoji17]

I get my protein in too. Has anyone else experienced this and when will it end?

Is there anything I can do to stop it and help it?

Thanks

Mel

i haven't noticed the thinning yet, but I got my hair cut and the stylist noted its dryness (I also dye it). I ordered some hair oil from amazon and now rub a few drops on my ends every day. I think it's helping.

I have noticed some thinning. Nothing too bad yet. My doc said that hair loss is from 2 to 4 months and rarely lasts past 6 months. If is does last or start after 6 months it is usually zinc deficiency. I am really scared.
