I didn't expect this much hair to be coming out. I don't want to lose more. I know I don't eat enough protein but making it a huge priority now and ordered collagen pills. I get full too fast and so can't add it to coffee.. I never can finish a cup. Anyone losing hair or lost it around this time? What helps? I'm 190.6 today. And in Nov last year before surgery I was 244. Feeling way better but I want to keep my hair too! LOL! Thanks for any advice and insight!

Minoxidil may be your new best friend, @Dub: topical (I prefer the liquid over the foam but others love the foam) or as a tablet (avoid if you have low blood pressure). Takes a couple of months but you will see regrowth. I use it on my eyebrows and for a thinning spot above my temple (thanks to menopause) and I have visible regrowth. Very excited about my brows coming back in after many, many years and some scar tissue from micro blading. Downside is you have to use it forever. You will see extra Hair loss initially but the it settles and your new hair starts to grow back. It can be a bit expensive but look out for special deals.

Tried to reply earlier…using my laptop. It is acting up…time for a replacement, I suppose.

I have an upcoming appointment with my primary doctor for annual physical. While I am in there I will ask him about this hair wizardry gel you mentioned.

Thank you.

I am sorry you are going through that! I hope it doesn't worsen. The Vitamins have to help some too! My mom takes some of this. Just for health. Wishing you the best. ?

Many thanks.

On one hand, what am I concerned about…I am a dude. We lose hair at some point…most of us, at least. It is no biggie.

On the other hand I am gonna hold up before grabbing the razor and going scorched earth, lol.

Explore the options and whatnot. Slowing my roll and investigate the possibilities.

Good news is that I am now 1/4 way through my 30 day supply of these bovine collagen tablets…on day 2.

This afternoon I snorted at the neighbors dog and stamped my hoof….didn’t charge, though. Prolly will after a few more days at this intake.

You can buy the topical version over the counter at the pharmacy. I buy the men’s 5% Regaine brand (the women’s 2% is useless) but there are other brands. You need a script for the tablet. It’s used for pattern balding as is experienced with aging (& high blood pressure hence avoid if you have low BP).

Horns may prove to be....awkward.

That'll put me backwards to rocking a hat all the time. #damn-no-way-to-win

How disappointing! I was hoping this would work because I was thinking about trying it!

After a year I decided to cut my hair short for the first time. It is coming in thick and beautiful! Now I can let it grow!
