Anyone NOT lose their hair?

My doc told me If I get a minimum of 60g of protein in a day and take my daily vitamin regimen, that I won’t experience hair loss. Is this true??

I started to experience hair loss at 3 months and I’m now at 4 months
Post op. My Nut said it could last 6-8 month but then it will stop falling out. When I brush my hair lost come out each time. It’s kind of nerve racking. In addition I wasn’t getting my 60grams of protein in. So now I’m making sure I’m getting it in and taking biotin. Hopefully it will help.

my hair was naturally thin, so I figured I would be bald. I couldn't stand the vitamins, they made me sick, so I stopped taking them. I do take Vitafusin B12 and Spring Valley Hair Skin and Nails. I have had no hair loss. I have been very surprised. good luck ladies.

I lot a ton, and by 6 months out my hair was this and sparse and just horrible. I did take all the vitamins, I took vitamin IV cocktails, but I hated how I looked so much I got extensions. I love them. I might need them for many more months, though now (10.5 mos out) my hairdressers says I’ve got tons of new baby hairs growing in, but it will take months to get them long enough to be “hair.” So I am loving my fake hair.

A lot of people seem to experience head hair loss, what about other hair?

Have any of you lost leg hair or underarm hair or eyebrows?

Have any men lost their facial hair?

I’ve wondered about this as well. I have bra strap length locs and would hate to part from them. Good thing I looked on this thread and found some helpful info. Thanks everyone!! Doesn’t hurt to try.

You will have hair loss of some kind
