Any recommendations for stop losing hair?

You can’t stop it unfortunately. Your natural hair loss cycle has been accelerated as a result of the shock to your body (surgery, reduced calories, change of diet, etc.).

As what usually happens as you shed hair new hair is growing. It’s just your new hair is growing at it’s usual rate & it’s not as noticeable as the loss.

It will slow & revert to your usual rate of loss usually after about 3 months +/-. It’s just hard to see those clumps of hair. Best advice is not to stress too much about it if you can. Stress will only make it worse.

Some people will say biotin or other supplements helped but they don’t. The hair that is shedding is already dead. (All the exposed hair on your head is dead.) The supplements may only help your new growth.

A lot of us cut our hair so the new growth didn’t have as long to grow to be even with the rest of our hair.

You may notice a change in texture too which is from the anaesthetic. You have to wait for that to grow out.

Pray, Biotin, Keratin, Finasteride, Minoxidil, Derma Roller, Iron if Doc says OK.

not much you can do about it other than keep on top of your protein and supplements so it doesn't get any worse than it would otherwise. Mine lasted about three months. Fortunately, I didn't lose enough for others to notice.

here's an article about it:

I freaked out when I was losing my hair. I was losing clumps of it at a time, and would literally cry in the shower. I even resorted to measuring it. I was losing approx. 3-4 grams every time I washed it (every 4 days). It happened in months 3-6.

Now I am almost 7 months out, and happy to say that I am not losing anymore. I know it will take a while for it grow back, but that is ok as long as I am not losing.

My nutritionist recommended that I start taking Flaxseed Oil 1,000 mg a day, and increase my protein. It worked! She also told me that none of the commercial products work.

Im in month 4, yep, it’s def more hair loss than normal, but it’s not like I have bald patches or anything. I have long hair and if it gets super bad I’d cut it but for now it’s just kind of annoying every time I run my hands through my hair to have multiple strands there. Like other posters said, it comes back, and generally not noticeable to anyone but you.
